Bayern travel to Spain as strong favourite to progress over the two legs, with Jupp Heynckes’ men enjoying a fine campaign. Domestically, the Germans are running away with the Bundesliga title, while Sevilla are languishing down in sixth in LaLiga, 16 points adrift of the Champions League places after a disappointing season so far. But in Europe they have proven themselves to be a nuisance, having twice drawn with Liverpool in the group stage – including a 3-3 tie in which they battled back from 3-0 down – and eliminated Manchester United in the last round, beating them 2-1 at Old Trafford....

The three school board members who lost their seats are Board President Gabriela Lopez and Commissioners Faauuga Moliga and Alison Collins. The city’s Democratic mayor, London Breed, who favored the recall campaign, will select three people to fill the newly vacant seats.

Kids in San Francisco’s public schools didn’t return full-time to in-person class until last August, long after schools in many parts of the country had already reopened....

Gaspard went missing May 17 after a rip current swept him and his son out to sea in Venice Beach, Calif. The Coast Guard suspended its search for Gaspard on May 19.

Gaspard, whose most memorable spent time in WWE was as part of the Cryme Tyme tag team alongside JTG (real name Jayson Anthony Paul), last wrestled for the company in 2010....

Some human-rights organizations collect them to show the brutally murdered victims of evil dictators. Some generals collect them (I’m thinking of a Turkish general in particular) to show, body by body, their victories over elusive guerrillas. And sometimes the victims in one collection and the guerrillas in the other are the same. That’s the problem with counterinsurgency: separating “the innocent” from “the enemy.” The new photographs of Saddam Hussein’s sons–close-ups of bearded faces on bloody plastic–look pretty much like any other cadavers dragged out of a firefight, and better than many....

It was the mid-point of my third year at Drexel University, and I realized I still had over 50 meal swipes left in my dining account that I knew I wouldn’t be able to use before the end of the term. If I didn’t use them over the next two days, they would simply disappear. This didn’t sit right and neither did leaving for winter break knowing that these meals would have gone to waste, especially when I knew very well that there were people who needed them more than I did....

Images posted to Facebook by the SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium and liked by hundreds of users on the social media site showed what they said was wobbegong shark.

This is not the first time Mehta has courted controversy.
