It’s Lee’s ingratiating innocence that holds it all together. He’s a figure of the purest fantasy, and he plays Mowgli with a wide-eyed, silent-movie exuberance so disarming it compels belief (even as you wonder where in the overgrown jungle he gets his wardrobe). As wild-child fables go, I’ll take the unashamed romanticism of “The Jungle Book” over the pseudoseriousness of “Nell” any day. Both indulge in a swoony faith that nature is inherently more benign than bad old civilization....

The Remaster was something a lot of people wanted, and they showed it through their support. No other game is quite like The Wonderful 101. The game puts the player in charge of a group of Super Sentai inspired heroes who combine to make massive tools and weapons. It’s a unique, stylish, action and puzzle packed thrill ride, and players may never see its like again. At least, that’s what players thought for a long time....

New York lost again on Friday 4-0, dropping their 24th game out of the last 36 and continuing their utter failure recently to generate any type of offense whatsoever. Although they still hold an eight-game lead in the American League East, frustration is surfacing for the generally level-headed Aaron Boone, who had a message for his team after Friday’s most recent loss. “I don’t give a crap about the lead,” Boone said after the game....

The ninth-year player has made a Pro Bowl each and every season with the Rams and has seven First-Team All-Pro nods, already (deservingly) earning mentions as among the NFL’s greatest players, regardless of position. But he also has a noted history of being an overly enthusiastic enforcer, one who has regularly gotten into it with opposing players and, on occasion, NFL officials.

According to NFL Network’s Mike Silver, the Packers are working on restructuring Rodgers’ deal, though the details of the restructure are a bit murky. A restructured deal would give Rodgers and the Packers a bit more cap money to work with this year, but until the details of the new contract are revealed, there’s a big ol’ question mark in the way of what that could mean for the team for now and in the coming years....

Rodgers said it was difficult to “lose a guy over a meaningless game” following an injury to his teammate Jordy Nelson, who reportedly suffered a torn ACL on the Packers’ first drive.

There is little doubt that Abraham de Villiers is a genius’s genius. This writer has expressed his own admiration for the maestro on these pages not very long ago. That said, the decision taken by South African selectors not to pick AB for the World Cup, despite his offer to return from retirement, needs to be applauded rather than criticised, because it has shown that principles matter even in the ruthless world of sport....

Battlefield 2042 is the latest entry in the long-running Battlefield series from EA and DICE, and unfortunately it has yet to live up to the expectations its predecessors set. Ever since launch, players have complained of numerous bugs, connection issues, and missing features from previous entries.

I can only see an inch in front of my face without contact lenses, so having a reliable source to buy them is something I take very seriously. Even still, it usually comes as a surprise to me when I’m “suddenly” running low. This is where the convenience of online ordering is key, as getting into (and ordering from) the eye doctor can be a lengthy and expensive experience. Reputable online contact lens retailers sell the same high-quality products and can often get them to you in less time for less money....

The Gunners go to the Emirates protecting a 2-0 advantage from the first leg, gleamed thanks to goals from Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Aaron Ramsey, but the veteran Frenchman has said that this brings its own pressures. Certainly, after Arsenal suffered a 2-1 defeat to Ostersunds in the previous round after an apparently comfortable 3-0 first-leg victory, the under-fire manager was speaking from experience. “Europe gives you a psychological problem,” Wenger claimed....

Academic misconduct will be among the charges, ESPN reported Thursday, a day after CBS Sports reported that Tyndall will formally receive a notice of allegations within the week. Tyndall was fired in March by Tennessee after one season in Knoxville. The allegations of improper benefits and misconduct took place during Tyndall’s tenure at Southern Miss. ESPN said a hearing would likely take place in 2016. The report specified the infractions as misconduct related to “course work performed for — or completed for — various recruits, impermissible financial aid for non-qualifying signees and lack of control that falls under unethical conduct bylaw that involves a head coach....

For the sake of the conference, that’s not such a bad thing. While the debate as to whether Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski should apologize to Oregon’s Dillon Brooks, four other ACC teams will fight for two Final Four spots on Sunday. MORE: 16 most hated college basketball players ever | Coach K got caught in a lie, should apologize The North Carolina-Notre Dame and Virginia-Syracuse matchups validate the decision to add Notre Dame, Pittsburgh and Syracuse in 2013 and Louisville (also not one of those teams) in 2014....

The past two days, Duke's coach spent large chunks of his postgame press conferences talking up the quality of ACC teams this season as it relates to the NCAA Tournament. After his Blue Devils beat North Carolina State — a team that won 21 games overall and went 9-9 in conference play — by eight points, Krzyzewski stumped for the Wolfpack.

This is a necessary and inevitable step, but before we take the next one it’s important to take into account how we got here—and how far we are willing to go. The West has hesitated at every step along the way to war, and for good reason. When Crimea was lost to Russia in 2014, the U.S. reaction was sanctions against Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin. There was also some quiet military training and shipments of “defensive” weapons, including the now-lauded Javelin anti-tank missile system....

In an instant he knew exactly what the next year of his life was going to be like, and it wasn’t pretty. “Only 3 percent of glioblastoma patients survive five years–and that’s the good news,” he says. “More than two thirds die in a year, according to the Central Brain Tumor Registry.” Twenty years of medical advances have done little to alter that. But for the first time in decades, scientists are now daring to hope that a series of experimental new therapies could one day meaningfully extend patients’ lives–not by weeks, but by months and even years....

Lawmakers in the South Dakota House of Representatives passed House Bill 1267, legalizing the prescription of ivermectin by doctors, according to the Grand Forks Herald, 40-28 in favor. The drug gained major traction amongst conservatives and members of the anti-vaccination movement as an alternative treatment for COVID-19. Following this vote, it will now head to the state Senate. Despite the bill passing successfully, it was already legal in South Dakota, and the rest of the country, for doctors to prescribe ivermectin to patients for any reason....

Cristiano Ronaldo, Rio Ferdinand, and Brazilian midfielder, Anderson, had just arrived at an event in England when a reporter caught them off guard and asked all three of them, To this, Ferdinand was very sure of his answer, and instantly replied, When the mic was handed towards Cristiano Ronaldo, full of self-confidence, the Portuguese replied, On this answer, many of the reporters around and fans alongside are heard laughing at the Manchester United sensation....

Traditionally, tourniquets were reserved for the worst bleeding to keep the patient from developing shock. Applying a tourniquet in the civilian world used to be seen as a last resort. It was thought that they made sense for soldiers because combat wounds are severe and a fighter needs to fight. It was a risk worth taking went the theory. A tourniquet can be applied and ignored. That doesn’t mean tourniquets don’t work....
