NBA FINALS: Warriors open as big favorites Who will Smith choose (or curse) this year? We’ll have to wait to find out. Here’s his most recent take on the series:

Since Sony has already officially confirmed the existence of its high-end PS4 with the PlayStation Neo back in June of this year, it’s almost a given that the 4K-capable console will make an appearance at the PlayStation Meeting 2016. That said, with it having the code-name of “Neo,” it’s quite possible that Sony goes on to announce a brand new title for the system, in addition to a price tag and an initial look at its power in action....

Nanjiani will take the role of the Eternal named Kingo. Like many of these more obscure heroes, fans may not be immediately familiar with Kingo but he is shaping up to be one of the most unique heroes in the MCU. Along with being an ancient being who has protected the Earth from the Deviants for thousands of years, Kingo is also a Bollywood star in modern times. Unlike the other Eternals who have attempted to maintain a low profile on Earth, Kingo has embraced fame....

There was lot of talk in the media, on Twitter etc. that Dharamsala would not be able to host the final ODI between India and England due to extreme cold weather. But HPCA Cricket stadium made its debut in grand style by hosting a game successfully. Initially, Dharamsala was supposed to host the 4TH ODI on January 23, but then BCCI decided to keep it a day game and so Dharamsala was given the 5th ODI on Sunday....

The 39-year-old, who has also managed in his native Portugal and Greece where he won the title with Olympiakos Piraeus, quit his job at Hull against the club’s wishes on Thursday after they were relegated to the Championship (second-tier). “His pedigree and promise speaks for itself with his achievements in top divisions elsewhere across Europe, as well as his work at Hull City last season,” Watford chairman and CEO Scott Duxbury said in a statement....

The three-time Grand Slam champion hasn’t played since Wimbledon, but said he has recovered sufficiently from a knee injury to feature in the year’s opening Grand Slam, starting in Melbourne on Monday. “I’m really, really happy to be back on the tour and seeing the sun,” the 32-year-old Swiss told reporters in Melbourne. “Still a lot to do but I’m feeling really positive, so looking forward to starting.” Wawrinka, who defeated Rafael Nadal to win the 2014 Australian title, has slipped to nine in the world rankings, having not played since his first-round Wimbledon loss to Russian Daniil Medvedev in July....

And then there’s Andrea Haberman. When I was a kid the nuns used to give us holy cards for special accomplishments, Saint Therese with her beauty-queen bunch of roses, Saint Andrew with his X-shaped cross. Andrea Haberman is my holy card now. Her face stares out into my office every day, a small laminated photograph that looks as if it was taken in a park, with sunshine gilding one edge of her long hair....

Of course, they almost never deliver the desired results. But that isn’t the fault of the products, it’s us, the reporters: we’ve been asking the wrong celebrities. When it comes to keeping to keeping your face and hair ready at all times, we shouldn’t be asking the women perpetually flocked by makeup artists, personal hairdressers, and facialists. We should be asking Hollywood’s character actors, men and women who rely on their unique looks and ability to embody some of the most memorable characters around who would know best about keeping their instrument in fine, shiny, functional working order....

Bernard’s strike and Lucas Digne’s deflected cross both struck the post in the second half at Selhurst Park, while substitute Cenk Tosun forced an incredible late save from home goalkeeper Vicente Guaita. Palace failed to register a shot on target but still managed to hold Everton, who had won four of their previous five games, including a magnificent 4-0 victory over Manchester United. “We deserved the three points,” Silva said after a match where his side had almost two-thirds of the possession....

We Happy Few is an action-adventure game that unfortunately received middling reviews when it first launched, largely due to the aforementioned bugs. But the gameplay, story, and appealing aesthetic demonstrated that Compulsion Games had the potential to create truly great titles. Set in a dystopian alternative England of the 1960s, We Happy Few was developed by a team of industry veterans with experience creating other successful titles, including the company’s founder Guillaume Provost, who came from Arkane Studios....

No treble and no Copa as injury crisis starts to bite Madrid A vicious Paulo Dybala volley and a free-kick from Miralem Pjanic put Juve in command of the tie 21 minutes in. Carlos Bacca’s hooked volley pulled one back for Milan eight minutes into the second half, before Manuel Locatelli received a second yellow card for the visitors moments later. Milan continued to pose a threat, though, and had opportunities to force extra time, leaving Allegri far from satisfied with what he saw....

The video clip, released by the NOAA in July and posted to Facebook on Tuesday, shows how NOAA officers sent a remote underwater robot to the seabed after being alerted to a potential shipwreck by the U.S. military’s Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC). Sending the robot more than 2,000 feet underwater, the NOAA was able to identify the wreckage of the ex-USS Muskallunge, a veteran Gato-class submarine that served between 1942 and 1968....

In the bottom of the fifth inning against the Phillies, Colon singled off Elvis Araujo. Curtis Granderson then singled, advancing Colon to second. Juan Lagares was next up and hit a sharp line drive out to center field. MORE BARTOLO: Infield single | Driving in runs | Chases down baserunner That’s when Colon decided to get frisky. Sadly, Lucas Duda grounded into a double play and Colon was unable to scamper home, which is a shame for the fans....

One such feature is Battery Health Management for the Apple Watch, a feature recently seen adopted on macOS. 9to5Mac reported that the Watch will display information like the Battery Health section on the iPhone, showing the battery’s maximum capacity along with a toggle for optimised charging. Leaving the toggle on will allow the Watch to learn your charging habits and adjust accordingly. Because lithium-ion batteries degrade over time if constantly charged at 100%, it should help lengthen the lifetime of a battery if you tend to charge your Apple Watch all night....

Water Softener and a Raise in Blood Pressure Hard water comes from certain types of wells, and the term “hard” refers to the fact that well water tends to have a rather large amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium. Water softeners work by removing these substances, but to do so they have to add a replacement. Commonly, that replacement is sodium. In areas with very hard water, the softened water coming from your tap can actually add a significant amount of sodium to your diet....
