Another confirmed casting is Karen Fukuhara. Although there is no official word yet on her role, the Latino Review says that she may play a minor supervillain role, that of Plastique. She is known for her ability to project explosive force outward from her body.

Asus Zenfone 3 Specs Rumors, Features Review: Next-Gen Device Tipped to Get Fingerprint Sensors

As one of the most popular handsets today, the Asus Zenfone 2 lineup of smartphones has been doing well in the announcement department.

Christian Post Report – YouTube Screenshot of a hands-on review of the Zenfone 2 at the MWC 2015.

A couple of months after they were announced, the devices have rolled out in the company’s home market in Taiwan, as well as in China. Soon, more Android fans in Asian markets would be able to get their hands on the high-end device.

However, even before the Asus Zenfone 2 phones make an impact in the Western market, a company executive said in a press event that their upcoming devices would be equipped with the latest fad in the tech industry – fingerprint scanners.

While fingerprint sensors have been with electronic devices in as early as the 1990s, it was popularized by Apple when it included the technology in its iPhone 5s handset.

Now, the Cupertino manufacturer includes fingerprint-scanning capabilities to all of its latest devices.

As for Asus, the Taiwan-based company may be following Apple’s footsteps in this department. Chief executive Jerry Shen of Asus told the media last week that the Zenfone 3 will have fingerprint scanners.

In the report by GSM Arena, Shen also hinted that the Zenfone 2 devices will get fresher versions later this year, some of which would boast fingerprint scanners as well.

Since Apple began using fingerprint scanners, it has enabled mobile devices to make secure payments online. Fingerprint-detection sensors also increase a phone’s security.

Atlanta Falcons NFL 2015 Trade, Draft News, Rumors: The Falcons Are Fined, Lose Draft Pick

The Atlanta Falcons learned yesterday what their punishment would be for one of their team personnel pumping fake crowd noise into their stadium during NFL games. The league dropped he hammer of the Flacons fining them $350,000, and the Falcons will have to forfeit a 2016 fifth round draft pick. On top of that Falcons President Rich McKay has been suspended from his Chairmanship of the Competition committee for four month to being in April.

Christian Post Report – The league did state that they found no evidence that McKay was aware of the infractions and the entirety of the blame is falling on former Falcons Director of Event Marketing Roddy White.

The Falcons have been fined and will lose a draft pick for pumping in fake crowd noise during NFL games

“Our review also determined that Falcons ownership and senior executives, including team President Rich McKay, were unaware of Mr. White’s use of an audio file with artificial crowd noise,” the NFL said in a statement. “However, Mr. McKay, as the senior club executive overseeing game operations, bears some responsibility for ensuring that team employees comply with league rules.”

Falcons’ owner Arthur Blank also issued a statement.

“What took place was wrong and nowhere near the standards by which we run our business. Anytime there are actions that compromise the integrity of the NFL or threaten the culture of our franchise, as this issue did, they will be dealt with swiftly and strongly,” he said.

Blank also said his team will not appeal the fine and look to put this embarrassing event behind them.

With the $350,000 fine to the Flacons and the $250,000 fine of the Cleveland Browns there is now a footprint of what a potential fine for the New England Patriots and Deflategate. Since it involved game day operations is now seems very likely that the Patriots (if found guilty) will face large monetary fine and the loss of a future draft pick.

The Western Conference rivals are separated by three points as Chicago are fourth in the standings, while the Canucks are sixth and three points behind.

Chicago has won two straight matches, beating the Winnipeg Jets and Los Angeles Kings.

In their win over the defending Stanley Cup champions, Bryan Bickell opened the scoring in the sixth minute of the match. LA levelled at the end of the period but it only took less than two minutes in the second period for the Blackhawks to regain the lead behind Duncan Keith’s goal. Niklas Hjalmarsson gave Chicago a two-goal cushion in the next minute before Marian Hossa completed the 4-1 route in the 54th minute.

The Canucks have also won back-to-back games as they beat the St. Louis Blues and the Nashville Predators.

Shawn Matthias scored in the 24th minute before St. Louis equalized after 10 minutes. Nick Bonino regained the lead by scoring less than a minute after to end the period 2-1. Radim Vrbata and Alexandre Burrows scored in the third period to secure two points for the Canucks.

Up next was a 5-4 penalty shootout win over the Nashville Predators. Vancouver rebounded from a 2-0 deficit in the first period to level things in the second. The Canucks almost grabbed the win in the third period but a late goal from the Predators extended the match to extra time. Bonino would go on and score the winning penalty shot to get the extra point for the Canucks.

In their earlier meetings this season, the Blackhawks won the first meeting but the Canucks were able to rebound by winning the last two. This is their last clash before the playoffs and an important win may go a long way.

‘Hellblade’ PS4, PC Release Date News: No Launch Date for PlayStation Yet, But PC Version in the Works

Independent game developer Ninja Theory has revealed that they are also working on a PC version of the upcoming third-person action game “Hellblade.” The announcement comes so many months after the PlayStation Gamescomm Press Conference when they announced that “Hellblade” was in development exclusively for the PS4.

According to a report in GameRant, Ninja Theory is an independent game developer who would like to start independent “AAA” gaming that means being able to create the game that you want the way to want it and publish it without “being beholden to publishers.” “Hellblade” is the studio’s first such attempt at independent “AAA” gaming.

“Hellblade” is also being likened to the other game that Ninja Theory created for PS3 called “Heavenly Sword.” Both games feature a female protagonist and both games have them fighting off evil using a sword. The studio has however denied that there is a link between the two. The report further says that the game will bring: “ninja-class combat, strong character stories and a unique art vision.”

In another report in Venture Capital Post, the studio’s creative chief Tameem Antoniades revealed the reasons why they started looking at PC.

“I think PC offers us a level of freedom that we haven’t had before,” he said. They are also looking at a 4k resolution for the PC version as well as support for modifications.

The other thing that Ninja Theory would like to emphasize in their game development is the fact that they want fans and players to be able to contribute and add to the game.

“As an independent we have the freedom to do that. I think we want to get to the point where we can invite players and fans to add to the game, and do things that are unexpected, and suggest ideas or add-ons that can make the game richer,” he stated.

There is no definite release date for either the PS4 or the PC version.

HTC One M9+ Release Date: New Android Handset Coming Soon, Alleged Images Leak

The HTC One M9 may be the current flagship for the Taiwan-based manufacturer, but it would not take long until people shift their attention to the One M9 Plus.

Christian Post Report – According to recent reports, the Android-powered handset will be announced at an HTC event in China on April 8. It also shows that the One M9 Plus will first become available in China, and soon other Asian markets.

Now, a report from GSM Arena revealed that the upcoming HTC smartphone was again spotted, this time on social media.

In the report, several leaked images of the device were allegedly posted by @upleaks. The image shows the phone’s striking similarities to the One M9.

However, there are a few notable differences while looking at the handset’s design. First, the 20.7MP camera sensor of the One M9 Plus is a circle while the one in the One M9 is more like a square.

Another difference is HTC’s choice to include a physical home button in the One M9 Plus. But because the original design had BoomSound speakers in both the top and bottom portions of the device, the manufacturer had to ‘cut’ the bottom speaker grill into two, in order to make way for the home button.

Other rumored specs of the device include a 5.2-inch display with QHD or 2K (2560 x 1440) resolution, 3GB of RAM, and two versions based on its chipset – either a Snapdragon 810 or a MediaTek MT6795.

Aside from the One M9 Plus, another HTC device that is making the rounds in the rumor mill is the One E9.

Detroit Tigers MLB 2015 News, Rumors: This Could Be the Detroit Tigers Everyday Lineup

Detroit Tigers MLB 2015 News, Rumors: This Could Be the Detroit Tigers Everyday Lineup

Now the Detroit Tigers have made their roster decision in terms of position players Brad Ausmus has to come up with a daily lineup that can compete not only with the team in the American League Central but all of baseball. The Tigers roster has some holes, there is not a true lead off man, and the 7-9 hitters have been notoriously weak in past seasons. However, this off season has been more about the Tigers finding balance than having one part of their roster be completely dominant.

Christian Post Report – This is the lineup the Tigers used over the weekend:

1. CF Anthony Gose (L)
2. 2B Ian Kinsler (R)
3. 1B Miguel Cabrera (R)
4. DH Victor Martinez (S)
5. RF JD Martinez (R)
6. LF Yoenis Cespedes (R)
7. C Alex Avila (L)
8. 3B Nick Castellanos (R)
9. SS Jose Iglesias (R)

Miguel Cabrera reuters.com

Miguel Cabrera returns as the center piece of the Detroit Tigers lineup

Gose has impressive in Spring Training with his ability to get on base. Once he does so he has the speed and base running skills to be a real threat. Kinsler batted second most of the time in 2014 and is very good in that spot. The power of 3-6 should scare any pitcher because one mistake could lead to a big inning.

Avila needs to continue to get on base while Castellanos works on his power. The only real hole is Iglesias but he is on this team for what he can do in the field not what he does at the plate. When the Tigers face a left handed started expect Rajai Davis to play center and hit leadoff, and James McCann to play catcher and hit 8th bumping Castellon up to 7th.

Expect to see Davis not only sharing time in Center but spelling the other outfielder in the corners. He is simply too valuable to only face left handed pitching.

Dallas Mavericks’ Dirk Nowitzki (R) reacts after Oklahoma City Thunder’s Russell Westbrook (L) was called for a technical foul during Game 3 of the NBA Western Conference Final basketball playoffs in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, May 21, 2011.

Both teams are on track to make the playoffs in the Western Conference, with the Rockets sitting third, while the Mavericks are seventh.

Houston recently beat the Sacramento Kings 115-111 to win five of their last six of the season. Meanwhile, the Mavs beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 135-131 to increase their lead on the eighth seed to four games.

In their regular season meetings, the home team have won every time, with Houston taking the series opener with a 95-92 win at the Toyota Center. James Harden scored 32 points and took down eight rebounds in the victory, while also making 12 of his 13 attempts at the free throw line. Patrick Beverley added 20 as the point guard converted six of the 11 attempts he had from beyond the arc.

For the Mavericks, Monta Ellis led in scoring with 17 points, while Tyson Chandler was a force in the middle with 13 points and 13 rebounds.

Unfortunately, Dirk Nowitzki struggled from the field, only converting 22 percent of his attempts as he finished with 11 points.

Their second game went the same way as Houston won 99-94 at home.

Josh Smith led the balanced attack for Houston with 18 points, while a total of six players scored in double figures for the Rockets in the game.

Ellis again carried the scoring load for the Mavericks, but Chandler Parsons also produced with 25 points while shooting 5-of-8 from beyond the arc.

Dallas finally secured their first win when they played at home behind eight players scoring double figures.

Al-Farouq Aminu and Devin Harris both scored 17 points for the Mavericks, while Rajon Rondo, Chandler Parsons and Charlie Villanueva helped with 13. Ellis and Nowitzki had 12 each as the Mavs shot 47 percent from the field, while holding the Rockets to 41 percent.

In the losing effort, Harden had 26 points but lacked help from his other teammates.
