Shutdown Corner
NFL Winners and Losers: Denver Broncos maybe saved their seasonFrank Schwab at Shutdown Corner9 hrs ago
Always remember this about the 2014 Denver Broncos: They will be graded on an unfair curve.
A 39-36 win against a sneaky good Miami Dolphins team would be fine for most teams. It wasn't bad for the Broncos. But the warts matter because these Broncos have just one goal.
The Broncos' season won't be a success if it falls short of a Super Bowl championship. Fair? Not really. But they have nowhere else to go after the past two seasons, and they're built to win now.
Before stars like outside linebacker Von Miller, receiver Demaryius Thomas and tight end Julius Thomas break the bank with their next contracts, and before quarterback Peyton Manning finally declines, it's Super Bowl or bust. And when the Broncos were trailing 28-17 after three quarters, they didn't look like a future Super Bowl champion. They really didn't look like a Super Bowl champion when you compare them to what the New England Patriots did in destroying the Detroit Lions earlier in the day – or when you compare anything about the Broncos and Patriots the past few weeks.Sun, Nov 23Miami36 - 39DenverGame Recap
NFL names Katy Perry next Super Bowl halftime show actJay Busbee at Shutdown Corner9 hrs ago
The NFL has announced the halftime show act for this year's Super Bowl, and it's none other than the widely-rumored Katy Perry.
Perry is the third female artist in the last four years to headline the show, following Madonna in 2012 and Beyonce in 2013. (Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers ran the show last year.) It's a reasonable choice, as Perry can work a 110-million-person room with the best of them.
Top 5 Must-See Plays from Week 12 (Video)Eric Edholm at Shutdown Corner10 hrs ago
Here are the top five must-see plays from Week 12 in the NFL.
Best. Catch. Ever.
We, as viewers of the NFL, can be prisoners of the moment. But if you have another play to nominate that is as great as the catch Odell Beckham Jr. made Sunday night, well, frankly, we're waiting. Beckham made one of the more insane catches imaginable (or unimaginable) Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys, as the New York Giants receiver was interfered with, jumped on the sideline and hauled in a one-handed pass in spine-tingling fashion.
Britt's resurgence
Kenny Britt has been one of the NFL's bounce-back players of the season, and he made a great catch Sunday to help put his St. Louis Rams in a position to potentially win the game against the San Diego Chargers. (Plot spoiler: The Rams lost.) But still ... Britt hauled in a great pass from Shaun Hill and made it look easy.
He's out!Sun, Nov 23Dallas31 - 28NY GiantsGame Recap
Marshawn Lynch fulfills media duty by saying 'yeah' 12 timesEric Edholm at Shutdown Corner11 hrs ago
Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch didn't want to get fined again for not speaking to the media. We can't blame him — $50K a pop is a pretty stiff fine, which he now has two to pay off.
So Lynch talked. His version of talking, anyway.
Entirety of Marshawn Lynch's postgame interview in #Seahawks locker room: 50 words to answer 22 questions #savesafine pic.twitter.com/UaPMJjhhn5
Yeah. Yeah. Maybe. Yeah. Yeah. Boosie. Yeah. Twelve "yeahs" in all.
Look, to be fair, we mused on Twitter last week after Lynch failed to speak following the Seahawks' loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11 that maybe he should just give basic answers to fulfill his requirements.Sun, Nov 23Arizona3 - 19SeattleGame Recap
Odell Beckham Jr. makes the greatest NFL catch everJay Busbee at Shutdown Corner11 hrs ago
Look, we know this is the Internet and we get a lot of grief about declaring something "GREATEST" or "BEST EVER" or "LEGENDARY" or whatever. Usually the criticism is justified. But we're going to roll with this anyway, and we dare you to defy us: Odell Beckham Jr. just made the greatest catch in NFL history .
Not the most meaningful. Not the most important. But the flat-out best, most athletic catch ever.
Beckham leaps, catches the ball with one hand, twists himself sideways, stays in bounds, and lands in the end zone. Simply flawless. But don't just take our word for it, listen to this Cowboys fan from Cleveland:
Man I just witnessed the greatest catch ever possibly by Odell Beckham Jr! WOW!!!!
You're going to see that one forever. And it's going to be just as amazing every single time.

Seahawks alive in NFC West after shutting down CardinalsFrank Schwab at Shutdown Corner13 hrs ago
If you're a Seattle Seahawks fan, their win on Sunday was a sign that the NFC West is starting to turn in their favor a bit.
If you're an Arizona Cardinals fan, well, you can look at the 19-3 loss at Seattle one of two ways.
The first, if you're a worrywart, is that the Cardinals' offense didn't look good. It has scored 17 points in eight quarters since Drew Stanton took over at quarterback for injured Carson Palmer the rest of the season. Arizona had 204 yards and 12 first downs on Sunday. Stanton had just 149 yards and an interception. It was ugly.
But the second option, and more realistic one, is to bang the gong and move on. This was a tough spot for the Cardinals. Seattle is a tough place to play, and the Seahawks knew a loss and the division was practically over and any playoff spot would be in jeopardy. The Cardinals didn't have receiver Larry Fitzgerald, who has a knee injury, either. The sky isn't falling because of one loss, of course.
Even though the Cardinals were 9-1 and three games ahead of the Seahawks in the division, this result wasn't surprising. What matters more for the Cardinals is where they go from here.
Lion charges Pats' knees on last playJay Busbee at Shutdown Corner13 hrs ago
Detroit didn't have much fun in New England, getting their manes handed to them 34-9. So you can understand why the Lions might be a little chippy. Add to that the fact that the Patriots poured on what could be construed as an unnecessary touchdown with under two minutes to play, and you get this:
That's Lions center Dominic Raiola, diving at the knees of a Patriots defensive lineman (Zach Moore) on the final play of the game. The teams were in victory formation — or, in this case, surrender formation, since Detroit was down by 25 — and thus the Patriots weren't exactly prepared for the hit.
Raiola didn't even try to disguise his intentions. "I cut him," Raiola said after the game. "We took a knee, so I cut the nose [tackle]. ... They went for a touchdown at 2 minutes. They could have took three knees and the game could have been over. It's football. He wants to keep playing football, let's play football. Not a big deal. It's football."Sun, Nov 23Detroit9 - 34New EnglandGame Recap
Could you kick a game-winning FG?Jay Busbee at Shutdown Corner14 hrs ago
ATLANTA - Cleveland's Billy Cundiff drilled a game-winning 37-yard field goal against Atlanta on Sunday afternoon, and if you were just watching the game on TV or checking your fantasy scores, you probably thought, "eh, no big, 37-yarder, pretty much a gimme, right?" For most NFL kickers, right.
For you, though? No way on earth. Those 37 yards may as well be a mile, as far as most of the rest of us are concerned. Your intrepid Yahoo Sports reporter visited the field of play after the game was over, stepped over the bits of broken Falcon dreams, and walked out to where Cundiff set up to make his field goal. Here's what it looks like from that perspective:
Yeah, no way you're making that. Here's a little live-action video just for further perspective:
That's a flat-out terrifying prospect, and that doesn't even include the elements of 70,000 screaming fans, 11 opposing players looking to remove your leg from your torso, and the very real possibility that if you miss this field goal you'll be cut from the team and never make this much money again.
Still think you can do it? Lace up. There's always room in the NFL for more kickers.
Titans absolutely botch this forward pass-type play in lossEric Edholm at Shutdown Corner14 hrs ago
The Tennessee Titans fell to 2-9, clinching their third straight sub-.500 season, in a 43-24 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles — and they did it in appropriate style.
Consider this play in the third quarter with the Titans down 27-17 but driving. Rookie quarterback Zach Mettenberger threw a pass that should have been picked by Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox, who had dropped into short coverage. But Cox batted the pass back, and the carom was caught by the man who snapped the ball initially to Mettenberger — center Brian Schwenke.
On a strange-looking play, Schwenke actually looked natural with the ball (he does touch it on every play, after all) and ran like a tight end in an effort to scratch out a few extra yards on what was tantamount to a slop shot in basement billiards.
But Schwenke hasn't been running the gauntlet drills lately, clearly. He coughed up the ball after a hit by Eagles linebacker Mychal Kendricks, which was recovered by safety Nate Allen.Sun, Nov 23Tennessee24 - 43PhiladelphiaGame Recap
Cleveland QBs: controversy or no?Jay Busbee at Shutdown Corner15 hrs ago
ATLANTA -The winning field goal had passed through the uprights 60 seconds before, sending the Cleveland Browns into fits of ecstasy and the numb Georgia Dome fans out into the rain. But here was Brian Hoyer, walking slowly off the field, eyes down on the turf in front of him, shaking his head in frustration.
He'd just guided the Browns down the field with a perfectly-executed 44-second, four-completion game-winning drive. Cleveland is now 7-4, and if the team forfeited every one of its remaining games it'd still be the Browns' best year since 2007. The Browns just welcomed back Josh Gordon, 2013's leading receiver. Hoyer has thrown for 300-plus yards the last two games, the first Brown to do so since Brian Sipe way back in 1980.Sun, Nov 23Cleveland26 - 24AtlantaGame Recap

Oct 3, 2010Not for oldies.
If you been playing this game with real cards and paying alot for these and getting into physical fights, this game probably won't have much to offer. But to me who doesn't have any friends with cards nor wish to buy them, this is a great value. Been playing it on the xbox and it's so good for just chilling while still having to be strategic.
I hope however some more deck costumization will appear, more decks and more options e.g. choosing which land cards to actually use, cause sometimes when the spell just need random, you can limit your next spell by using the incorrent land.… Expand
Nov 4, 2010This game is probably great fun for people new to MtG in general, and it can be exciting the way collectible things are, if you can't get all you want. In other words, you can't customise decks properly - just adding cards isn't enough. This with mana management issues and few other glitches makes the game poor for any experienced player - after some point it *restricts* the technical playing. Graphics are nice, but also bring out the grandness feeling of magical combat and could do quite a bit better on usability: a lot of information is decoded way smaller, wrong places, and with bad contrast than it could be. For new, and maybe young, players: This could be great fun; For experienced players or rules-lawyers: Few challenges are interesting, but campaign is a bit boring and frustrating. But then again, it's cheap on MtG-scale.… Expand
Dec 11, 2012Watered down console port and not a good example of what MTG is. Locked decks kill customization and multiplayer potential along with porting issues. They dropped this in favor of the yearly releases for a reason and it isn't even sold on Steam anymore.
Duels of the Planeswalkers (which bears the same title as the 11-year old expansion to MicroProse's adaptation of M:TG) is a neat, albeit simplified, adaptation of the classic game.
If you're already a Magic expert, this is an acceptable way to get in a few games online with friends, though you'll likely find the inability to create your own deck to be a pretty major drawback. If you're a Magic neophyte, you'll get more out of this experience.

Snipers kill soldier in Baniyas - Syrian state news agency
Syria's state news agency said snipers killed a soldier on Thursday in the coastal city of Baniyas
- Image Credit: Reuters
- Soldiers stand near tanks in Baniyas as women demonstrate on the Al Bayda coastal highway on Wednesday.
Beirut: Syria's state news agency said snipers killed a soldier on Thursday in the coastal city of Baniyas, where authorities had been trying to ease tensions after protests against President Bashar Al Assad.
Rights campaigners had said authorities had agreed to replace secret police in Banias with army patrols as part of a deal to reduce tension in the restive city.
The agency quoted a source saying "a group of armed snipers shot today a number of army members while they patrolled the city of Banias... One was martyred and another wounded".
Aleppo, Syria's most populated city, on Wednesday witnessed its first reported anti-government protests, which observers say could have serious repercussions on the country's stability.
Approximately 1,000 students from the University of Aleppo took to the streets chanting slogans in support of protesters in Daraa and Baniyas. Both cities have witnessed clashes over the past week and the death toll is rising.
In focus: Unrest in the Middle East
More than 3,000 women and children protested in Baniyas on Wednesday, demanding the release of husbands and children arrested by security forces on Friday.
The women blocked the highway under the bridge of Al Marqab and vowed not to move until their demands are met.
Speaking to Gulf News, Hasna M., a protester, said they marched two kilometres — from the city centre to the bridge — chanting 'God, Syria and Liberty'.
Another group from the village of Al Bayda, 10 kilometres south of Baniyas, gathered under the Bustan bridge to demand the release of their relatives.
They also demanded that the lockdown on Baniyas be lifted to allow food and other necessities into the city.
Activists reported disruptions in phone and internet services and cutting off of power supply in areas witnessing protests.
Ammar Qurabi, head of Syria's National Organisation for Human Rights, said in a phone interview from Cairo that he lost contact with five members of his organisation in Baniyas.
His contacts in Syria have also reported blackouts in the Daraa area. Electricity in the village of Al Bayda was cut, Damascus-based human rights activist Razan Zaitouneh said on her Facebook page.

Malene lives with her siblings and her dad in a house made from a few sheets of tin and plywood perched on a riverbank. Malene's mum has to work away so she is often not at home. Every year there are floods, and Malene's house has already been destroyed once in her short life. During floods Malene and her family have to spend days sleeping on the floor of an evacuation centre. With your help, we'll be there to provide hot meals and emergency supplies during those floods.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Malene and her family have already lost their home and their possessions multiple times, but the physical loss isn't the most devastating part of living with floods - it's the constant fear. Their house isn't safe when the floodwaters come, as they inevitably will, and when they have to evacuate they can't take anything with them a not even food. In past years, they've had to go without until floodwaters receded. That makes evacuation frightening, dangerous and uncomfortable.
How will this project solve this problem?
By providing the funds we need to stockpile food and water you'll take the fear out of evacuation for Malene, her family, and families like hers. With your help, they'll know their basic needs will be met during times of crisis.
Potential Long Term Impact
Many families don't evacuate during floods because they fear being trapped without food and water. By stockpiling these basic needs ahead of time, families will be able to evacuate without fear. If we can encourage early evacuation, we can save lives.

LAS VEGAS, NV -- (Marketwire) -- 01/07/13 -- International Consumer Electronics Show -- AMD (NYSE: AMD), a leading provider of technology that enables visually-rich experiences for today's consumers, provided an early look at its new 2013 accelerated processing units (APUs) and announced a new OEM relationship with VIZIO. At an International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) event, AMD demonstrated working silicon of its first true system on chip (SoC) APUs, codenamed "Temash" and "Kabini," which will be the industry's first quad-core x86 SoCs. Both APUs are scheduled to ship in the first half of 2013. Demonstrations included a range of leading-edge applications and games on a "Kabini"-based ultrathin notebook and a "Temash"-based performance tablet and hybrid notebook.
AMD also introduced the new APU codenamed "Richland" which is currently shipping to OEMs and delivers visual performance increases ranging from more than 20 percent to up to 40 percent over the previous generation of AMD A-Series APUs(1). "Richland" is expected to come bundled with new software for consumers such as gesture- and facial-recognition to dramatically expand and enhance consumers' user experiences. The follow-on to "Richland" will be the 28nm APU codenamed "Kaveri" with revolutionary heterogeneous system architecture (HSA) features which is expected to begin shipping to customers in the second half of 2013.
Additionally, AMD announced a new series of discrete graphics processors for performance gaming that are already shipping to OEMs, AMD Radeon HD 8000M Series graphics.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

GUADALAJARA, MEXICO—A Hyatt Hotels Corporation affiliate has entered into a joint venture and related agreements with an affiliate of Desarrolladora Mexicana de Inmuebles, S.A. de C.V. for the development and management of a Hyatt Regency hotel located here.
Hyatt Regency Andares Guadalajara marks the return of Hyatt to the city after a more than 17-year absence and will be the fifth Hyatt Regency-branded hotel in Mexico.
Hyatt Regency Andares Guadalajara will be located in the upscale area of Zapopan in the northwestern section of Guadalajara. The 220-room hotel is part of the second phase of development for the existing Andares Shopping Mall, a mixed-use complex that includes a high-end retail component anchored by Palacio de Hierro and Liverpool department stores, two office towers and luxury condominiums. Hyatt Regency Andares Guadalajara will be an integral part of the overall Andares development, which will also include additional upscale residential units and retail space as part of its second phase.
Hyatt Regency Andares Guadalajara will feature two restaurants, a lounge, approximately 29,000 sq. ft. of indoor and outdoor meeting and event space, spa facilities, a fitness center and an indoor swimming pool.

For the past few years, the talk of The Lodging Conference in Phoenix had been focused on the economic recovery, solid industry projections and "cautious optimism." With the word cautious no longer necessary, the economic outlook took a backseat this year to the seemingly unending parade of new lifestyle brands.

On Friday, Amanda Bynes was placed on 5150 psychiatric hold and committed to a hospital following two weeks of increasingly erratic behavior.
Amanda's parents were initially unable to prove that the child star presented a threat to herself or others, but that quickly after Bynes accused her father of sexual assault, then blamed the false allegation on a microchip that had been planted in her brain.
Bynes's parents worked with former Britney Spears manager Sam Lufti to convince their daughter to fly to Los Angeles under false pretenses. Once in LA, she was placed on a 3-day psychiatric hold.
A hearing was held yesterday to determine if the hold should be extended to 14 days, and remarkably, despite her obvious mental instability as of late, Bynes was nearly able to convince a judge that she should be released from psychiatric care.
Sources say Bynes seemed unperturbed by the proceedings, and casually rattled off a list of reasons she should be set free in a manner that made it clear that she'd rehearsing her argument.
Amanda reportedly maintained a calm demeanor while insisting to the judge that she had not posed a threat to anyone and was not guilty of violating any laws. (Bynes was caught shoplifting twice in one day last week, but no charges were filed.)
Insiders say the judge seemed to be on the verge of granting Amanda her freedom, but instead extended the hold for 3 days, rather than the additional 11 requested by her parents.
Rick and Lynn Bynes are seeking a conservatorship which would grant them legal control over Amanda.
