Long-term head Hoeness has recommended Hainer take over when he steps down from the post next month, but club members have the final say. Critics have claimed Hoeness will retain control of Bayern despite former Adidas chief Hainer becoming president, an idea he rejected. “We are friends - but that does not mean that we are always on the same topic,” Hainer told Bayern’s club magazine. “In addition, I must say clearly: If I could lead Bayern to similar successes as Uli Hoeness, that would certainly not be bad....

Mumme, 61, leaves Southern Methodist, where he was passing game coordinator last season. This will be Mumme's seventh head coaching job. He is widely known for his prolific passing offenses. Mumme was the right man for SMU coach June Jones's vaunted Air Raid scheme. He will be missed. "He is an innovator and a friend,'' Jones told the Dallas Morning News on Friday. "I really enjoyed the time we spent together and we wish him well at Belhaven....

The world number one has faltered at the last hurdle previously in this WTA Premier event, but she will have the opportunity to finally land the title against Kiki Bertens following a hard-fought 6-3 6-4 triumph over Sabalenka. A series of thrilling early rallies saw breaks traded, but Halep, showing a resolute defence, emerged with the lead before a pair of double faults handed her the opening set. Although Halep broke quickly in the second, too, Sabalenka continued to put the Romanian under pressure and cancelled out her advantage before pushing for a break of her own....

Half-Life: Alyx’s release date was announced via Valve’s official Twitter account. The post didn’t provide any further information, but did include a teaser image with the release date written on it. The teaser image shows a figure walking through some ruins that have crumpled to form a lambda-like shape. The figure is presumably Alyx herself, though it’s ambiguous. RELATED: Half-Life’s G-Man Has Message for Players In a second post made after the release date announcement, Valve shared three new screenshots from Half-Life: Alyx....

It is thought this missing matter is located in intergalactic space—the voids between galaxies—and teams of scientists are using different techniques to pinpoint it. Last year, for example, researchers using NASA’s Chandra X-ray observatory said they had tracked it down, suggesting it may be gathered in huge strands of gas in these voids. In a study published in Nature, researchers led by Jean-Pierre Macquart, from Curtin University, Australia, have now used fast radio bursts (FRBs)—mystery signals from deep space—to find the missing matter....

Two old adversaries are set to lock horns at Old Trafford on Sunday with derby pride and precious points on the line. Guardiola and Mourinho have endured a fractious relationship in the past, with their time spent on opposite sides of the Barcelona and Real Madrid Clasico divide pitching them into regular combat. Hostilities have been rekindled in England, but there are more similarities between the pair than many might think....

Goal has previously reported that City had been unsuccessful in pursuits of Southampton’s Virgil van Dijk and Juventus’ Leonardo Bonucci, and it is understood they had still hoped to sign a big-money central defender of a similar ilk. Man City at 15/8 to win the league It is also believed City were open to the idea of selling Nicolas Otamendi to fund their move for a new defender, only for those plans to hit the rocks when Aleksandar Kolarov unexpectedly requested a move to Roma....

Kompany’s screamer earned City a 1-0 home win against Leicester City on Monday, putting the defending champions back above Liverpool in the table. A 13th straight win in the Premier League means City will be champions again if they extend that streak further with victory at Brighton and Hove Albion on Sunday. Kompany has already won three Premier League titles with City since joining from Hamburg in 2008 but his contract expires at the end of the season....

Guardiola is set to end his first season at Manchester City without a trophy, the first time he has failed to collect silverware in a campaign, with City in Premier League action against rivals Manchester United on Thursday. The Catalan, who has won six league titles and captured the Champions League twice, was hailed by Grant despite his City side sitting 14 points behind league leaders Chelsea. Guardiola: I’m a better manager now...

Guardiola is two years into the three-year deal he penned in the summer of 2016, but has now pledged his future to City until the summer of 2021. “I am so happy and excited. It’s a pleasure to be able to work here,” Guardiola told City’s official website. “I enjoy working with our players every day and we will try to do our best together in the coming years. As a manager, you have to feel good to be with the players – and I feel good....

DeSmith made 25 saves to lead the Penguins to a 2-1 shootout win against the New York Islanders on Monday night. “He was really good all night. He was locked in,” Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. “He made some big saves for us.” Jake Guentzel scored the decisive goal in the tiebreaker, helping Pittsburgh improve to 3-0-1 in its last four games. Guentzel also assisted on Derick Brassard’s tying goal in the third period....

So, what is a GUI? What Does GUI Stand for? Depending on how you define computing, it has been around in one form or another for a long time. For example, instantaneous remote messaging was first achieved with the telegraph in 1844. Alan Turing’s “a-machine” was devised in 1936 and was essentially an early calculator. However, neither of these seem much like computers today, largely because they lack a GUI....

There are two main types of camcorder image sensors: charged coupled device (CCD) and complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS). Both types of image sensor technology contain hundreds of thousands or even millions of pixels. Think of a pixel as a tiny bucket that captures light and turns it into an electrical signal. How CMOS and CCD Sensors Differ In a CCD image sensor, pixels capture light and move it toward the edge of the chip, where it’s converted into a digital signal....

The 25-year-old golfer from Kapurthala has been in great form in the last few weeks as she twice rallied from behind in the first round to post victories in the last two rounds. Gursimar, one of the only three players to have won more than once this season, clinched the previous two legs in Bengaluru. She is grouped with Siddhi Kapoor and Sonam Chugh in the second to last pairing, while Neha Tripathi, Mehar Atwal and Trisha Sunil will tee off last at the Hyderabad Golf Club course....

Last week the maharishi declared that he’s tired of waiting for governments to get on the world-peace wagon. He’s taking matters into his own hands by setting up large groups of meditating well-wishers near the hot spots of the world. These “lighthouses of coherence” will have a calming effect on the local population, he says, snuffing out violence before it can flare up. “Problems will disappear as darkness disappears with the onset of light,” he promises....
