AMC and Loews Cineplex in Merger Talks
AMC Entertainment, whose theaters account for about 12 percent of domestic theater revenue — more than any other chain — is in talks to merge with Loews Cineplex Entertainment, which accounts for 4.6 percent of the market, published reports said today (Wednesday). Spokespersons for each chain declined to comment on the reports. A merger of the companies would face intense regulatory scrutiny inasmuch as the two chains currently closely compete in many large markets and in some cases have theater complexes situated in close proximity to one another.
More AMC/Loews Coverage
Here's a roundup of reports about a possible merger of the country's most successful mega-circuits:
Variety: AMC, Loews eyeing major screen team (sub. required)
"AMC Entertainment and Loews Cineplex are in talks about a merger with a goal of striking a preliminary agreement by year's end. agreement by year's end. A combo of AMC and Loews — the No. 1 and No. 5 U.S. exhibs — would create a mega-circuit of more than 5,600 screens."
The Hollywood Reporter: Double feature: AMC, Loews talk
"Details about the structure of a possible AMC-Loews union are still murky, in part because Loews' parent company, Toronto-based Onex Corp., and AMC's majority investor, Apollo Management Lp., have no immediate plans to liquidate their respective stakes in the theater chains, sources said. What is clear is that AMC chief executive Peter Brown would head up the combined entity, though plans for the rest of the two management teams remain uncertain."
AMC: AMC Entertainment Inc. Confirms Preliminary Discussions
"AMC Entertainment Inc. (AMEX:AEN), one of the world's leading theatrical exhibition companies, confirmed today that it is engaged in preliminary discussions with Loews Cineplex Entertainment Corporation about a possible business combination."
National Post (from Canada): Onex in talks with AMC to create movie colossus
"The announcement of talks between the two comes shortly after it was revealed that the initial public offering of Onex's Canadian movie theatre business will likely raise less money than originally expected. The Cineplex Galaxy Income Fund now is selling 17.5 million units at $10 each, raising about $175-million. That's down from $235-million in the original prospectus. The trust's yield also was boosted by about one percentage point."
Pioneering Theatre Historian Remembered
Brother Andrew Corsini Fowler, 87, a native Chicagoan who helped found Theatre Historical Society of America in 1969 with Time-Life Editor Ben Hall, of New York, died recently while in convalescent care in Notre Dame, Indiana.

Cinema Treasures Appears in Film Journal International
Exhibition monthly Film Journal International included Cinema Treasures in its the October 2003 issue. Thanks go to Kevin Lally, Film Journal's managing editor
Authors Seek Cinema Treasures
Film Journal International's business/exhibition editor, Andreas Fuchs, has joined forces with Ross Melnick and Patrick Crowley, founders of CinemaTreasures.org, on a book that holds much promise to the exhibition industry. Cinema Treasures combines a survey of 100-plus years of motion picture exhibition history with profiles of theaters around the world. In addition to many classic palaces, which still have to present films today, the book will showcase movie theaters across all major eras (from the 1890s to the 1990s) and architectural styles. There will be single screen theaters, twins, triplexes, large-screen cinemas, multi- and megaplexes.
Many of our readers' theatres have already been included, but the authors invite everyone to submit materials. A nomination form and more information is available online at cinematreasures.org/book/. Feel free to email . Cinema Treasures is due in spring 2004 from MBI Publishing.
Update on Portage Park Theatre
Paul Warshauer, the new owner of the Portage Park Theatre, sent in this update about what's happening at the Portage Park:
"Now the City of Chicago wants us to install an emergency generator to back up the two other systems we spend lots of money to replace. It never ends! The landlord refuses to install it but eventually he will be forced to if the theatre is ever to open. Still we wait and have no revenue coming in…no ticket sales, no concession sales. We cannot last forever here.

DCI Releases Newest Digital Projection Standard
LOS ANGELES, CA — According to a report from Millimeter, Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI), the digital cinema joint venture created by Disney, Fox, MGM, Paramount, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Universal and Warner Bros., has released Version 3.0 of its open digital projection standard.

Boeing To Sell Digital Cinema Division
EL SEGUNDO, CA — Boeing has announced its looking to exit the digital cinema business and is seeking a buyer for its digital cinema division, according to an article in the Seattle Times. According to a spokesman, the company believes digital cinema will continue to fail "until the industry adopts standards and comes up with the right business model for it."
Gila Theatre Still Shuttered, El Sol Theatre To Become Performing Arts Center
SILVER CITY, NM — After a protracted battle with Town officials over the safety of the building, the Gila Theatre was shuttered last summer, perhaps forever.
Town of Silver City building and fire safety officials first cited the owners of the Gila Theatre in the winter of 2001-02, after a complaint by a theatre patron that they had nearly been hit by a piece of falling material from the auditorium ceiling.

I do realize
is_pod is a sufficient condition for a type to be
memcpy-able, but is
has_trivial_destructor also sufficient for this purpose? If not, why?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
No. The requirement is that the type be trivially copyable (§3.9/2) which has a few more requirements, like the lack of a non-trivial copy constructor (§9/6).
So you should use
It is not sufficient that an object has a trivial destructor. It also needs to have trivial copy operations. The object may maintain pointers to internal buffers, for example. There is no need to destroy anything but copying would need to set up the pointers in the copied to object because they would otherwise point into the buffer of the source object.
Although it's generally rare in practice, there may be a situation where a class has a non-trivial copy constructor, along with a trivial destructor. Consider a class with a static member variable that just counts how many times the class has been copied. If you
It seems to me that a class with a plain pointer would qualify as

Elias Says...
Special to ESPN.com
Carter-Williams And Oladipo Make NBA History
From Elias: Michael-Carter Williams and Victor Oladipo made NBA history by becoming the first pair of rookies to have a triple-double in the same game. It was only the third time in NBA history that more than one rookie had a triple-double on the same day, but not necessarily in the same game. The other two occurrences were Tim Hardaway and David Robinson on February 2, 1990, and Grant Hill and Jason Kidd on April 7, 1995.
Orlando Magic, Philadelphia 76ers
Warriors Overcome Large Deficit To Win
From Elias: The Warriors beat the Raptors despite being down by 18 points entering the fourth quarter. This is only the second time in franchise history that the Warriors won a game in which they trailed by 18-or-more points at the end of the third quarter. Their record in those games is now 2-451! The only other time the Warriors overcame such a deficit was on February 9, 1962 at the Boston Garden. The Philadelphia Warriors trailed the Celtics, 103-84, entering the fourth quarter but outscored them, 42-21, in the final session to win the game. Wilt Chamberlain scored 48 points and hauled in 29 rebounds for the Warriors in that game. This game, by the way, was the first in NBA history in which a team overcame a deficit of 18 or more points at the end of the third quarter to win.
The Warriors nine-point victory is the largest in regulation in NBA history for a team that trailed by at least 18 points entering the fourth quarter. The previous such record was an eight-point win for the Hawks over the Nets on April 15, 1997. The Hawks trailed 80-61 at the end of the third quarter but went on to win, 109-101.
The Young Man Can Rebound
From Elias: Twenty-year old Andre Drummond has grabbed at least 18 rebounds in each of his last two games: 19 against the 76ers on Sunday and 18 against the Heat on Tuesday. Drummond is the fourth player in NBA history under the age of 21 to grab 18-or-more rebounds in consecutive games. John Drew did it twice in the 1974-75 season, Shaquille O'Neal had a three-game streak in 1992-93 and Dwight Howard did it twice (once in 2004-05 and once in 2006-07).
Pistons Survive The Heat
From Elias: The Pistons halted Miami's 10-game winning streak with a win on Tuesday night. It was the second time in the last 20 seasons that Detroit beat a team that entered the game on a winning streak of at least 10 games. The Pistons beat the Spurs, who had won 11 consecutive games, on February 8, 2013. The last time they won such a game on the road was on February 4, 1985 at Milwaukee. The Bucks entered that game on an 11-game winning streak.
Mozgov Excels Off The Bench
From Elias: Timofey Mozgov came off the Nuggets bench to score 17 points and grab 20 rebounds against the Nets Tuesday night, two days after scoring 16 points and hauling in 15 rebounds against the Raptors, also as a non-starter. The last NBA player to score at least 15 points and haul in at least 15 rebounds in consecutive games, both off the bench, was Seattle's Shawn Kemp in March 1992.
KD Is Perfect 10 From The Line
From Elias: Kevin Durant went 10-for-10 from the free-throw line in Oklahoma City's win over Sacramento. It's the 34th time in his NBA career that Durant went 10-for-10 or better from the charity stripe in a game. That is three more such games than any other player since 2007-08, Durant's first season in the league. Dirk Nowitzki (31) is second in this list.
Mavs Beat Bobcats At Home Again
From Elias: As usual, the Mavericks beat the Bobcats in Dallas. The Mavs are 10-0 all-time in home games against the Bobcats. The Mavericks are the first team to start 10-0 at home against a particular opponent since the Cavaliers won their first 10 home games against the Bobcats from 2004 to 2009.
Leuer Leads All Players In Points
From Elias: Jon Leuer led all players with 23 points in the Grizzlies' win over the Suns Tuesday night. It was the first time in his 82-game career that Leuer was the leading scorer in an NBA game.
Sid Does It Again
From Elias: Sidney Crosby's second goal of the game earned the Penguins a 3-2 victory over the Islanders at Nassau Coliseum. It was the sixth overtime goal of Crosby's NHL career and first in four years, since his extra-time marker gave Pittsburgh a 3-2 win at Florida on Nov. 23, 2009. Crosby has scored goals in each of the Penguins' three games versus the Islanders this season (four total goals), after scoring goals in only one of his ten games against them over the past three seasons.
Combo Shutout For Jackets
From Elias: Blue Jackets goaltenders Sergei Bobrovsky and Curtis McElhinney combined to make 26 saves in Columbus' 1-0 win over the Lightning. Bobrovsky had made 18 saves when he suffered a leg injury early in the third period and was relieved by McElhinney, who stopped Tampa Bay's last eight shots on goal. It was the first combined shutout in Blue Jackets history and the first in the NHL this season. There were two tag-team shutouts last season: by Chicago's Corey Crawford and Ray Emery on February 28 (3-0 at St. Louis), and Pittsburgh's Marc-Andre Fleury and Tomas Vokoun on March 26 (1-0 vs. Montreal).
When Stuart Scores, It's A Winner
From Elias: Brad Stuart's goal with 4:00 remaining in the second period snapped a 2-2 tie and proved to be the game-winning goal in the Sharks' 4-2 victory at Toronto. The 14-year veteran defenseman has scored three goals this season and they've all been game-winners for San Jose. The only other season in which Stuart scored three game-winning goals was 1999-2000, his rookie year in the NHL.
Skinner Is A Road Warrior
From Elias: Jeff Skinner tied his career high for points in one game when he tallied two goals and one assist in the Hurricanes' 4-1 win at Washington. Seven of Skinner's ten career three-point games have come on the road, including two in the District of Columbia. Skinner's other three-point game in D.C. was a three-assist night in a 4-3 Carolina overtime loss on Oct. 8, 2011.
Former Panther Cages Old Mates
From Elias: Former Panthers goaltender Craig Anderson made 30 saves to lead the Ottawa Senators to a 4-2 win at Florida. Anderson, who played three seasons with the Panthers (2006-07 through 2008-09), has a 9-1-0 record and 1.60 goals-against average in ten games versus Florida since he joined Ottawa in February 2011. The only other teams that Anderson has beaten more than five times during his Senatorial tenure are Buffalo (six) and Washington (six).
Kesler Scores Twice Again
From Elias: Ryan Kesler scored two goals in the Canucks' 3-1 win at Nashville on Tuesday, two days after he scored a pair of goals in a Vancouver win at Carolina. It's the first time that a Canucks player has registered two straight multiple-goal games since Kesler did so in 2010 (Nov. 11-13). Kesler is the fifth NHL player to score at least two goals in each of two consecutive team games this season. The others are Tomas Hertl, Mike Ribeiro, Matt Read and James Neal.
Lehtonen Sees Lots Of Rubber
From Elias: Stars goaltender Kari Lehtonen stopped 47 of the Blackhawks' 50 shots on goal in his 4-3 win at Chicago. It was only the third time in the last three seasons that an NHL goaltender posted a regulation-time win in a game in which he faced at least 50 shots on goal. The other goaltenders to do that since the beginning of the 2011-12 season are the Coyotes' Mike Smith (April 3, 2012 vs. Columbus, 54 SOG) and the Maple Leafs' James Reimer (April 20, 2013 at Ottawa, 50 SOG). Lehtonen is the first goaltender to win in that manner for the Stars franchise since Jon Casey did so against the Blackhawks in a Minnesota North Stars home game on Nov. 26, 1989 (54 SOG).

Letting him take centre stage: Paris Hilton sits pride of place on the front row as she watches toyboy lover in Barcelona catwalk show
She's usually the one taking centre stage thanks to her fame and love for attention.
But Paris Hilton for once let her toy boy lover, River Viiperi, soak up the attention as he strutted his stuff on the catwalk in Barcelona.
The 21-year-old Spanish hunk was part of the Mango runway show, joining the rest of the male models to show off the latest collection.
Taking her place: Paris Hilton sits on the front row at a Barcelona fashion show as she watches toy boy boyfriend River Viiperi strut his stuff on the catwalk
His number one fan: River showed off some of the Mango collection in full view of his famous girlfriend
It must have been an unusual feeling for Hilton, who is usually the one being photographed and stared at.
But she seemed happy enough as she sat on the front row with one of the best seats in the house watching it all unwind.
The 31-year-old socialite giggled as she saw River step out at the front of the parade of models wearing a beige knitted jumper and cream chinos.
Memory keeper: She giggled with delight as she spied him arrive on the catwalk while taking pictures on her mobile phone
Having her turn in the spotlight: Despite being there for him, Paris still ensured all eyes were on her in a figure hugging black and red frock
Blending into the crowd: The socialite had one of the best seats in the house to see River in his full glory
Carrying his brown man bag casually over his shoulder, the model pouted while his hair was slicked to the side.
Paris, meanwhile, couldn't help but beam with delight as she took photos on her mobile phone like a true fan.
Although her attention span seemed to wane as she was later seen looking at her phone instead of the catwalk.
Model looks: The 21-year-old lead the rest of the models on to the catwalk as he showed off Mango's new line
Having a ball: She's been keeping her fans updated on Twitter about her joyous time in Barcelona
Bored already? Her attention seemed to wane as she looked at her phone instead of the catwalk
Star of the show: Paris followed River to the Spanish city to watch him in a variety of runway shows this week
Or it could be that she was busy updating her fans on Twitter about her time in the Spanish city.
She wrote after the show: 'Just watched my love @RiverViiperi walk the runway for @Mango. Looking so handsome in @HeByMango's latest collection. 😍 #SexyBF.'
Although she was happy to take a back seat as her boyfriend had his chance to shine Paris did, of course, ensure she still looked her best for the outing.
The look of pride: Paris looked up lovingly as River showed off his looks for the rest of the audience
Chatting away: She was entertained by another guests who sat beside her throughout
Causing her own stir: Hilton's attendance didn't go unnoticed as she also showed off her best model pose
Sticking out: She was easily noticeable sitting with the rest of the crowd for yet another fashion show
Hand on hips: Paris posed for pictures before finally taking her seat
Hilton posed for some pictures herself as she showed off her slender physique in a red and black printed dress.
Finishing off her look she wore her blonde locks half down with one side clipped up.
Throughout her stay she's shared a collection of photos from the catwalk shows, even posing with River backstage as she let her hair down while he worked.
Clearly enjoying herself, Paris added on Twitter on Wednesday morning: 'Good morning everyone. Getting ready for another day in Barcelona with @RiverViiperi. Hope everyone has a great day!'
Clothes change! She was later seen in a different dress as she attended the 080 show afterwards
Can you see? She vamped up her celebrity status by sitting on the front row with oversized black sunglasses on
Fan favourite: Paris posed for pictures when she was spotted outside by a group of girls

Hunter's Story:
Hunter Lane Darlage was born at 24 weeks weighing 1 1/2 pounds. Hunter was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy due to his extreme prematurity. Hunter has been through so many trials and tribulations in his 15 yrs of life you often wonder how he can still have a smile on that lil face. Hunter has had numerous surgeries from birth to present. With the most recent entailing a reconstruction of the right pelvis to make the socket deeper and also a bone cut of the femur to put it deeper into the socket. Along with the same femoral procedure on the left side, as it was dysplastic as well. Many complications not only during surgery but afterwards as well. Hunter has continued to lose mobility to this day. Hunter is still extremely weak and is now having some type of spasms and extreme pain in his thighs that cannot be determined what is causing it. He is no longer able to bear weight on his right leg at all. Hunter is confined to his wheelchair, bed, and bath tub. Hunter attends physical therapy three times a week an hour and a half away from home one way. Along with numerous Dr. appointments on the same day or days in between two hours away from home. This causes Hunter to be in much more pain while traveling due to not being able to sit in his fitted wheelchair. Hunter also suffers from a tethered spinal chord and gout. Having to lift Hunter out of his wheelchair to transfer him in and out of vehicle back and forth is very painful for him. Due to all of the transferring we do with Hunter in and out of wheelchair causes Hunter excessive anxiety, knowing that their is pain involved. Making it harder to be able to hold and transfer him safely.
Financially his parents are unable to meet Hunters needs with a handicap accessible van. They are currently traveling approximately 500-750 miles a week to meet Hunters health needs. It is costing them every dime they make for gas to get him back and forth. This would be a dream come true for Hunter to be able to ride comfortably in his chair and not have the extra pain and discomfort. Please Vote for Hunter and make his dream come true!!

Police visit Tre Mason's home five times in four months
In early March, Rams running back Tre Mason had a bizarre incident with police, resulting in his arrest on various charges. He then failed to appear in court, before eventually doing so.
Since then, police reportedly have been called to his house on five different occasions. According to TMZ, the most recent incident happened on Saturday.
Per the report, Mason's family is concerned about his mental health. During one of the police visits, he agreed to check into a facility. He apparently didn't.
Mason has not yet been accused of assaulting family members. On one occasion, a family member told police that Mason hadn't slept in days, and that the family member was concerned if Mason left the house "he will get hurt."
Mason didn't participate in OTAs this year, excused from the voluntary sessions for "personal reasons." The next question for the Rams is whether Mason, a third-round pick in 2014, will be welcomed to training camp — and whether he'll even show up for it.
Pederson continues to commit to Bradford as Week 1 starter
Eagles coach Doug Pederson remains committed to Sam Bradford as his starting quarterback.
"I've said all along that Sam's the guy,'' Pederson said after Bradford, Chase Daniel and Carson Wentz completed their first training camp practice on Monday.
Pederson said he doesn't see anything happening in the preseason that would change his quarterback depth chart.
"You've got to get through four games and a lot of preseason. But going into September 11, Sam's the guy. I'll stick with that. Chase is our No. 2, and Carson is our No. 3," Pederson said.
The Eagles, more than any other team, poured resources into the quarterback position this offseason: They signed Bradford to a two-year, $35 million contract, signed Daniel to a three-year, $21 million contract and traded up to the second overall pick to draft Wentz. With all those resources going into the position, they'd better have a good starting quarterback. Pederson thinks they have one in Bradford.
Derrick Morgan says NFL isn't doing enough research on cannabis
Now that Eugene Monroe has retired, Titans outside linebacker Derrick Morgan is the last active player who is willing to be an advocate for medicinal marijuana.
He hopes he's not the only one for long, and has shared the research he's done on the topic. But he hopes time will see the plant's stigma subside, and that the league will spend as much time researching as he has.
"I just take the NFL for their word: If they say that long-term health and player safety are top priorities of the league, then why aren't you looking into all the options for health care that are out there?" Morgan told Paul Kuharsky of ESPN.com. "It's definitely incumbent upon them to really delegate some time and some resources to look into it."
Morgan is pushing the medical benefits of cannabis, and wants to draw the line between the possible pain-relief potential the plant holds and the recreational smoking many have made synonymous.
Morgan said he's never failed a drug test for marijuana, and hasn't used it because of the league's rules against it. But he also thinks demonizing the drug by grouping it alongside things such as LSD and heroin keeps people from seeing the protection it could offer players.
"CTE, all this stuff is real … that's unsettling as a player," he said. "You want to be able to think that you are going to be there for your family in full capacity, that you're going to be able to be an active member, contributing member of society. With something like that, I've got to look at what my options are. If this happens to be an option, which I think it will be, then I'm going to look into it, . . .
"Every player is in a different position. But at the root of it, if your motivation is being proactive about preserving your health, then I don't think you should have to tippy-toe around anything."
At the moment, he's the only current player even tippy-toeing, but hopes more will join him.
Former Patriots defensive tackle busted on drug charges on campus
Longtime NFL defensive tackle Mark Wheeler, who once started a Super Bowl for the Patriots, has been arrested on drug charges in Texas.
According to KBTX, 46-year-old Mark Wheeler was taken into custody after Texas A&M police said they found him sitting in a truck on campus with marijuana and cocaine.
According to the report, the officer noticed a marijuana cigarette on the console of his truck, but he told them it was medical marijuana.
Upon searching, two bags of marijuana were found hidden in water bottles (less than 15 grams) and a small bag of cocaine inside a Tylenol bottle (setting up another medicinal defense).
A former third-round pick by the Buccaneers in 1992, Wheeler played eight seasons in the NFL. He started for the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXI, and also played for the Eagles.
Brandon Marshall has finally heard from Ryan Fitzpatrick, duo spending time together in Chicago
New York Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall expressed concern recently when quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick stopped returning messages in the lull before the start of training camp.
Marshall can now call off the search.
Fresh off playing in the American Century Championship golf tournament in South Lake Tahoe, Nev. this past weekend, Fitzpatrick has made a stop in Chicago to see his (former?) teammate. Marshall posted a photo to his instagram page on Monday night of Fitzpatrick and his two sons hanging out on a rooftop in the Windy City.
Fitzpatrick remains at an impasse in reaching a contract agreement with the Jets, despite multiple offers being floated by the team in hopes of finding a resolution. He didn't renew the lease on his New York apartment and an end to the saga appears far from imminent.
Kenny Anunike placed on PUP list by Broncos
Promising pass rusher Kenny Anunike will begin training camp on the physically unable to perform list for the Denver Broncos.
The third-year defensive end has been hampered by injuries early in his career. He missed all but three games last season due to a knee injury that required surgery in August and eventually landed him on injured reserve.
He flashed his raw ability in last year's preseason opener against the Seattle Seahawks. Anunike had eight tackles, a sack and a forced fumble.
He has just one tackle in his regular season career.
A player can be activated from the PUP list any time during the preseason. However, a player must be placed on PUP prior to the start of training camp in order to be eligible for the reserve/PUP list for the regular season.
It's uncertain whether Anunike has suffered some kind of a setback from the issues that plagued him last season or if the move is just to provide the Broncos with roster flexibility and the time needed for Anunike to get back to full speed.
Tom Jackson won't be back at ESPN
The report from Bob Raissman of the New York Daily News that Tom Jackson will leave ESPN provided some wiggle room for the veteran analyst to return to Sunday NFL Countdown for what would be his 30th season. Multiple industry sources tell PFT that the decision has been made: Jackson won't be coming back.
As one source explained it, ESPN's decision to bring back Trent Dilfer after his contract had expired and it appeared he would leaving arose in part from Jackson's decision to leave.
Jackson had long been regarded as being tied at the hip with on-air partner Chris Berman. With Berman reportedly entering his last year at ESPN, it's somewhat odd that Jackson wouldn't want to do a victory lap with Berman.
Unless, of course, that victory lap will be all about Berman and/or consist of Berman complaining about the fact that ESPN management has apparently nudged him out.
CFL expands use of coach-to-quarterback communication system
The CFL often does thing differently than the NFL. In some cases, the CFL's differences make the Canadian version of pro football better.
A little-known change for 2016 has invites speculation regarding whether a similar change in the NFL would be good for business.
As explained by Scott Mitchell of the Calgary Herald, the CFL for the first time in 2016 allows the coach-to-quarterback communication system to operate to the snap, and beyond.
Calgary Stampeders coach Dave Dickenson called the change an "executive decision" of which he wasn't aware until the season began. Dickenson also said that his team has not yet used the system during a play to tell the quarterback what to do with the ball in real time.
"In theory, they can," Dickenson said. "We don't feel like it's the best thing to say, 'Go deep,' or 'Take the flat.' The game's going so fast and, I think, it might be easier from the booth to see stuff, what pops and what doesn't pop, but I don't yell into his ear. I think coaches, in that case, would be trying to be more important than they are. Just stay out of the way. You need to coach your quarterback well enough that he sees what he sees and he trusts his eyes and he throws it."
"We kind of found out, I think, in Week One," Calgary quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell said. "I remember Dave coming and telling me about it and I was kind of skeptical about it at first because we didn't do it in training camp."
Bo Levi Mitchell has only one specific request when it comes to the use of the technology.
"I told him it was something that, 'Hey, if you're comfortable saying it then I trust you when you say things,'" Bo Levi Mitchell said. "Obviously, the only time I don't want it is when I'm in the huddle trying to talk to guys. You can't have somebody yelling in your ear and you can't hear anything."
For the NFL, where the system cuts off 15 seconds before the snap, the question becomes whether it makes sense to allow a coach to continue speaking to the quarterback beyond that point, including during the live play. Given that the CFL teams apparently didn't know the change was coming until the season began, it's still too early to know whether it will be an improvement, given that teams really didn't get a chance to experiment with it or to plan for using it.
Report: Tom Jackson may not be back on ESPN this year
If 2016 will be, as it appears, Chris Berman's last year at ESPN, he possibly won't be joined for his farewell tour by Tom Jackson.
Bob Raissman of the New York Daily News reports that the 65-year-old Jackson "likely will not return" to ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown this year.
"He's still weighing his options," an industry source told Raissman. "This will be Tommy's call. It's up to him. Tommy's driving the train on this one. The situation is fluid."
Regardless of whether it's fluid, the clock is ticking toward the start of the season. Just last week, ESPN announced that Randy Moss will be joining the show. Charles Woodson and Matthew Hasselbeck also are in, and holdovers like Mike Ditka, Keyshawn Johnson, and Cris Carter are out. If Jackson goes — and Raissman's source predicts Jackson will indeed leave — Berman will be the only common link among the core group on the show.
Jackson played 14 years with the Broncos before joining ESPN after the end of his career. The coming season would be his 30th at ESPN.
Gordon says he's "blessed," excited to return to football
Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon was conditionally cleared to return to the NFL Monday afternoon, and Monday evening Gordon issued a statement via his Twitter account.
"I'm blessed and grateful to be granted this opportunity," Gordon said. "I can't wait to get back out there and play the game I love in front of the great fans of Cleveland. I want to thank the NFLPA, Commissioner Goodell, the Haslam family and Browns organization, my agent Drew Rosenhaus, as well as my mentors for their continuous support along the way.
"I've heard only good things from my teammates about the positive direction the organization is heading and I want to do everything I can to be there to help further that process not only for the team but to better myself as well. Thank you."
Based on the team's statement about Gordon's reinstatement, the Browns sound like they're willing to work with Gordon if he's willing to play by the rules. He's played in just five games the last two years due to suspensions but led the NFL in receiving in 2013.
Gordon will be suspended for the first four games of this season if he meets conditions of his reinstatement but will be allowed to participate in team meetings during those four weeks.
The Browns open full camp Friday, but rookies and injured players reported Monday. Gordon hasn't been allowed to be around the team, so it's expected he would fly from Los Angeles — he apparently was there when he was seen on Johnny Manziel's Snapchat videos Monday morning — to Cleveland as soon as possible so the requisite meetings can take place and the team can lay down its ground rules for Gordon.
Raiders will start camp without Helu, two rookies
The Raiders announced a host of pre-camp roster moves Monday, including the expected procedural move of putting veteran running back Roy Helu Jr. on the active/physically unable to perform list.
Helu had surgery on both hips last winter and didn't participate in the team's offseason program. Helu played in nine games as a backup running back and special teams player last season, his first with the Raiders after three seasons with the Redskins.
The Raiders also placed undrafted rookie defensive end Greg Townsend Jr. on active/PUP. Seventh-round offensive lineman Vadal Alexander was placed on the active/non-football injury list.
Players on active-PUP and active-NFI count against the team's 90-man roster limit and can be activated during camp when they're cleared by doctors.
Cris Carter says he wouldn't have made it to the Hall of Fame without Dennis Green
Plenty of people have heaped plenty of praise on Dennis Green, the former Vikings and Cardinals coach who died three days ago at the age of 67. One Hall of Famer who played for Green admits that, without Green, the gold jacket and bronze bust never would have been issued.
"No, absolutely not," receiver Cris Carter told PFT Live on Monday regarding whether he would have made it to the Hall of Fame without Green. "I mean, he made me the focal point of the offense. He challenged me in ways no one ever challenged me as a man. He challenged me every game. I mean his pregame speech was, 'Football's a team game but it's individual battles and in those individual battles I need you to whoop your man.' He would just single me out, be like, 'Chris Carter, are you gonna whoop your man?' and I was like, 'Yes sir.'
"'They're gonna double team you probably sixty to seventy percent of the time, are you gonna whoop your man?' and I'd be like, 'Yes, sir,'" Carter added.
"We had a roll call and Denny would go down through the locker room and ask them, 'Johnny Randle are you gonna whoop your man?' and then he typically would finish [with], 'Don't worry, I'm gonna whoop the other coach.'"
Part of whooping the other coach was having a keen eye for talent and the ability to get the most out of that talent. When it comes to the many quarterbacks who thrived under Green, Cris Carter had very strong comments about a guy who started only 10 games during Green's 10-year career as head coach.
"He did an unbelievable job with Jeff George," Carter said. "Man, I wish we could've played more with Jeff George because his story would be totally different. The vibe that he had with Denny and the relationship he had with the other players, where he didn't have to be a leader. . . . Jeff George was truly an amazing talent and, man, we had no problems, no issues with Jeff George. Loved him in the locker room and got great results from him on the field."
George left the Vikings after only one season, joining Washington as a free agent. After a failed attempt to woo Dan Marino to Minnesota, Green opted to go with Daunte Culpepper, a 1999 first-round pick who carried the Vikings to the NFC title game in 2000, a season overshadowed by a 41-0 embarrassment against the Giants.
Source: Mannings allowed NFL to see all relevant documents
Throughout the investigation arising from the allegations in an Al Jazeera documentary regarding quarterback Peyton Manning, one clear path existed to getting to the bottom of the situation: Reviewing all relevant documents in the possession, custody, or control of the Guyer Institute regarding the treatment Manning and his wife received.
Although the statement released by the NFL seemed a bit vague on this point, a source with direct knowledge of the investigation tells PFT that, indeed, all relevant documents was provided to the NFL regarding the treatment the Mannings received.
Per the source, Peyton Manning was interviewed by the league recently. The session was lengthy and thorough.
Some may still say that the league didn't try hard enough or that documents were falsified or anything other than, "The case should now be closed." While skepticism often has its place, there's really nothing more that can be done other than to accept that the NFL looked into the situation, that the Mannings cooperated fully, and that there was no credible evidence of a PED violation.
But if there are lingering suspicions that, a year after the NFL applied a scorched-earth approach to the Patriots and quarterback Tom Brady, the league didn't pursue Manning aggressively enough, the NFL can blame only itself for allowing over the past few years a perception to arise that investigations are conducted with the desired ending point firmly in mind. That perception works to the detriment not only of the NFL but also to the detriment of people like Peyton Manning, who deserves the type of clear, unequivocal exoneration that becomes impossible if some have a plausible basis to decline to accept the league at its word.
In this specific case, there's no reason not to accept the league at its word.
Terron Armstead, Keenan Lewis among Saints on PUP list
Saints cornerback Keenan Lewis said recently that he expects to be on the field for the first day of training camp, but the team appears to have other ideas.
Lewis was on one of four Saints placed on the physically unable to perform list on Monday, leaving him short of clearance to take part in practice after an offseason that saw him have knee, hip and sports hernia surgeries. Lewis' health woes limited him to six games last season and he didn't play particularly well when he was on the field, so both team and player will be hoping things play out differently this season.
Left tackle Terron Armstead is also on the PUP list. Armstead, who signed a five-year extension this offseason, dealt with a knee injury last year, but practiced this spring so it's likely a precautionary move by the team.
Defensive end Hau'oli Kikaha is on the list after tearing his ACL in OTAs and placing him on the list leaves open the possibility, however slim, that he could play this season. Wide receiver Vincent Brown rounds out the group of Saints players not yet cleared for practice.
Patriots start camp with six offensive starters on PUP
The Patriots are starting training camp with a big contingent on the Physically Unable to Perform list.
Starting receivers Danny Amendola and Julian Edelman, starting running back Dion Lewis, starting tackle Sebastian Vollmer and starting guards Tre Jackson and Shaquille Mason are all on PUP.
That's probably not a reason to be concerned, however. Players often open camp on PUP if they're recovering from even minor injuries, and many players who open camp on PUP are ready to go before the start of the preseason.
It's likely that all six starters will be on the field for Week One. If there's a concern in New England, it's that Tom Brady won't be joining them.

This paper presents a set of geometric signature features for offline automatic signature verification based on the description of the signature envelope and the interior stroke distribution in polar and Cartesian coordinates. The features have been calculated using 16 bits fixed-point arithmetic and tested with different classifiers, such as hidden Markov models, support vector machines, and Euclidean distance classifier. The experiments have shown promising results in the task of discriminating random and simple forgeries.

Today, my boyfriend told me on the phone that he thought we were too poor for value-pack bacon. When I got home, I found he had gone to work leaving two lights and the TV on, and that the shower was running. He said, "Turning things on and off takes too much time! Who cares about money?" FML

Advanced yet basic!
By Yooperguy
from Michigan, United States
Plays any DVD I throw in it, even my old burnt stuff!....But I mainly use it for playing music and movies and slide shows off of my flash drives and memory cards and so far it works flawlessly! Only down fall is no HDMI and you have to download the manual!

Awesome Player
By Malkme
from NY, United States
This is the first time I've ever felt compelled to leave a review for anything. Ever. I picked this up the other day, and I tell ya..... Best thing I've purchased in a long long time. I needed a player with the AV cables since my TV doesn't have HDMI. I haven't used the DVD function yet, but the USB is exactly what I needed. Awesome little unit. BUY IT!

Fit My Wants Like a Glove
By twingate
from Tunnel Hill, GA, USA
This was just what I wanted when I went looking. It had everything I wanted, and more. It was very easy to set up, even for a technically challenged person like myself. The playback is excellent, and the remote is simple to operate. Put all this together with a good price that was easy to swallow, and it not only made love at first sight; it made a long-term relationship.

Re: USAA is not open to everyone anymore
It's not deserving anything special or being elite. Or people getting butt-hurt being referred to as "second class citizens".
It's that military organizations providing unique financial needs for their members.
It's that military have an absolutely different financial needs than non-military. Anyone who was a member prior to 2009 knows for a fact that customer service has taken a nose-dive to the point of USAA having to outsource their CS.
When the organization gets too big it can no longer provide the service that membes have come to expect. Between picking up and moving across the country or out of country every 2 years, buying/renting new places, deployments, these all factor into unique financial needs of a certain group.
The churning/abusers of Penfed's 5% gas card have already destroyed that off for military members. USAA's customer service has taken a complete dump. I pray Navy doesn't get too big now. I'm glad USAA seems to be going back to their focus on the military - kinda silly they gear their commercials to veterans and saying they are commited to those who serve - but let literally anyone in

Oz The Great and Powerful is on pace to be the year's first break-out box office hit. Having banked $2 million at midnight screenings, the film is projected to finish opening weekend with around $75 million.
The man playing the title role is no stranger. In fact, he may be one of the busiest guys in show business. Oz director Sam Raimi described James Franco as a man who "needs a constant injection of the creative in order to survive." [Vulture]
All you have to do is look back at the past year to get a taste of how Franco keeps himself busy.
In 2012, he filmed five movies, had a recurring role on the TV soap opera General Hospital, starred on another television series, Hollywood Heights, guested on FCU: Fact Checkers Unit, volunteered at the Art of Elysium, taught a classes at New York University and USC in filmmaking as well as teaching a screenwriting course at UCLA where he's already an adjunct professor teaching English. This is in addition to making his dance-theater directorial debut in which, of course, he narrated all the performances, directed two short films for songs, filmed a 90-minute docu-drama about poet Hart Crane and released his band's first single and first EP.
And you thought Jessica Chastain was busy.
So now we want you to weigh in on Franco. Take everything you know about him and everything you've seen him do and bundle it all into one word. What would it be? Busy? Accomplished? Inspiring?
Sound off below in the comments section and feel free to weigh in on last week's One Word for Nicole Kidman.

Go to the Bathroom Less Frequently: Another Reason to Quit Smoking
Posted on December 22, 2011
TAGS: smoking and male reproductive health smoking and male sexual health
When most people think of the health hazards of smoking, they naturally think of consequences like lung cancer. But smoking does a lot of other bad things to your body, some of which are directly related to things that guys care a lot about: their sexuality and fertility.
Smoking makes it harder to get and maintain an erection because it releases adrenaline and other stimulating compounds that clamp down on the flow of blood to the penis. Less blood means weaker erections and erections more likely to fail. (Maybe that's why people often smoke after making love - doing so beforehand can put a damper on things.) In studies of erectile dysfunction, smoking consistently ranks as one of the biggest modifiable risk factors.
Smoking may also hurt a man's ability to father children. Several studies show that men who smoke have lower sperm counts, on average, and their sperm are somewhat more likely to be abnormally shaped. Both of these factors lower a man's fertility; so if you're trying to have kids, try to kick the habit first.
Recently, links were found between smoking and two other problems of the reproductive tract. The National Institutes of Health released a study showing that half of all bladder cancers in both men and women can be prevented by not smoking. Smoking-related bladder cancers have been rising in incidence in women, which the NIH attributes to "greater prevalence of smoking among women."
A survey in Obstetrics & Gynecology showed that women who smoke are about three times more likely than non-smokers to suffer from intense feelings that they need to urinate (called "urinary urgency") and above-normal frequency of urination. These bladder symptoms, while not life-threatening, can nonetheless be bothersome. They can also disrupt sleep, and sleep deprivation has a range of negative effects on mood, energy, attention span, and your immune system.
I realize that quitting smoking isn't easy. But nicotine replacement products and some prescription medications that reduce cravings can really help. If you smoke, I urge you to talk to your doctor about ways to increase the chances that you can quite smoking as soon as possible. You'll be doing your fertility and your sex life a big favor!

Gisele Bundchen in True Religion
Gisele Bundchen was spotted arriving at a local studio in Miami, FL showing off her sexy gams in True Religion shorts (our Denim Brand of the Month). She looks just beautiful even in candid pictures like this.
Gisele is now 30 years old, hard to believe! Did you know that she originally wanted to be a volleyball player and kids in her school teased her for being so thin, calling her "Olive Oyl" (Popeye's skinny girlfriend). Isn't it weird how so many models were teased in school and now they are famous and rich.
Hilary Duff in Current/Elliott Leather Leggings
Hilary Duff makes her first stop on her book tour, in New York City. Hilary is busy promoting her new book, Elixir. The book, which Hilary co-authored, is a "supernatural" love story. She was on hand to sign autographs and pose with fans. Hilary also recently joined twitter. (Are you following @denimblog on Twitter?)
I loved Hilary's outfit here. I think she did a great job of pulling off the new waxed look really well. She's wearing Current/Elliott's leather leggings. She kept it simple with a black blazer and YSL Tribute pumps. Remember, you can have a chance to win a pair of similar jeans from Singer22, by entering the DenimBlog contest here. Buy these jeans at Singer22.
Jessica Alba in Charley 5.0
Stars, they're just like us! Jessica Alba spent her weekend stocking up on bulk items at Costco. Leaving the store, she was stopped by fans asking for photos, so I guess it's a little different than my shopping trips!
Jessica looked chic in an all black outfit, topped off with a beret. She was wearing denim leggings by Charley 5.0. Jessica has worn Charley 5.0 denim leggings quite a few times before. You can purchase Charley 5.0 leggings at Boutique To You.
New Styles From Sexy Doll Jeans
Sexy Doll Jeans has brought out some new styles for the new season and they have some great washes! The Gold Wash in paticular is one they love the most.
"It is a light wash that brings a vintage look to the Jeans, emphasizing on the highlights of a woman's body so visually they will feel leaner, and we added a very seldom distress finished with a gold patch to bring the SexyDoll Jeans elegance to it."
So what do you think of the new styles? Are you a fan of the brand?
