The Malik Report
TSN releases its list of the top 50 NHL Players; Datsyuk #5?
by George Malik on 09/25/13 at 09:42 PM ET
Comments (7)
TSN posited its Top 50 Players list on Wednesday evening, and their picks are...Different...Especially if you're a Red Wings fan and think that Pavel Datsyuk is a solid player (edit: TSN posted a 46-minute clip of their special).
Pittsburgh Penguins superstar Sidney Crosby has once again been ranked the NHL's No. 1 player, as revealed Wednesday night on the NHL on TSN Top 50 Players special.
For the first time, TSN's Top 50 ranking was determined by a group of 14 NHL coaches and general managers, representing seven Eastern Conference teams and seven Western Conference teams.
This year's NHL on TSN Top 50 Players features nine new players, four goalies, 10 defencemen and 26 players from Canada. The Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks have five players on the list, the most of any NHL team.
Just missing the Top 50 was Montreal Canadiens goalie Carey Price, who was ranked No. 51.
See below for the full NHL on TSN Top 50 Players ranking and an additional breakdown of notable omissions, biggest risers and fallers and players by country and position. You can voice their opinion on the Top 50 ranking by using the hashtag #TSNTop50 on Twitter and on TSN.ca with Your! Call.

Toews and Stamkos are not better players than Pavel Datsyuk.
Posted by CrimsonPhoenix on 09/25/13 at 09:56 PM ET
I'd like to be in a fantasy league with the clowns who picked this list.
Posted by redxblack from Akron Ohio on 09/25/13 at 10:21 PM ET
Zetterberg way too high. I'm looking at 27 for him, although 28, 29, 30, 34, 41, arguably 44 and 47 all better than him. Pavel right where he should be +-2 spots.

Toews above Datsyuk is garbage.
Posted by Jaromir Blogger on 09/26/13 at 04:46 AM ET
I can see ranking Crosby, Malkin and Stamkos above Datsyuk, but Toews, no way. He's a good player, maybe a top ten one, but he gets overrated because of his intangibles.
Posted by henrymalredo from Lansing on 09/26/13 at 09:53 AM ET
These rankings are a composite of 7 Eastern Conference GMs/coaches and 7 Western Conference GMs/coaches.
Frankly, I think it shows. There's a lot less "what have you done for me lately" in these rankings than their are in any such rankings produced by writers.
Alex Ovechkin and PK Subban, to give examples, are two players who were on top of the world at the end of the season, but the GMs, unlike the writers who voted them the Hart and Norris, respectively, both seem to be aware that each player is flawed compared to a lot of their contemporaries. They have OV 6th among forwards and Subban 7th among D.
Duncan Keith's another guy. Lot of "journalist" lists have him as the best or second best D based on a strong finish. GMs have him at 6, looks like, which seems more accurate to me.
All in all, I think this is about as good of a list like this as you can get, though I'd like to see the results of 100 or so pro-scouts polled on this topic.

About The Malik Report
The Malik Report is a destination for all things Red Wings-related. I offer biased, perhaps unprofessional-at-times and verbose coverage of my favorite team, their prospects and developmental affiliates. I've joined the Kukla's Korner family with five years of blogging under my belt, and I hope you'll find almost everything you need to follow your Red Wings at a place where all opinions are created equal and we're all friends, talking about hockey and the team we love to follow.

Two observations:
– Olivia Thirlby looks pretty stoned.
– That helmet is faithful to the comics, and looks f-ing ridiculous.
Comics Alliance has a few pictures up of the new Judge Dredd movie, and it…well…it looks about like what we expected from a movie
that doesn't even have an IMDB page yet. that doesn't use its title for its IMDB page (thanks, ScottBaiosGhost!) The director drama aside, though, so far this doesn't look terrible, just not very creative in the cinematography. "Dredd" will probably be out in 2013: in addition to not having an IMDB page yet, they also don't have a US release date, but we're sure Lionsgate will release it. Eventually.
This is how you know your date has not gone well.

Hey, hey, hey, let's be fair.
Asylum would have built a better helmet.
By: Dired02.07.2012 @ 3:05 PM
It continues to sadden me how poorly stylized comic art (mostly costumes) translates to live action. I'd love to see canon stuff on the big screens, but silly helmets, neon spandex and such just look so goofy when they try. Still holding out hope for at least Liefield death-by-pouches attempt, though.

Maybe if we're lucky the dialogue will be entirely "pouches."

RATIONALE: Estrogen can stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy, using exemestane or anastrozole, may fight breast cancer by reducing the production of estrogen. It is not yet known whether exemestane is more effective than anastrozole in preventing the recurrence of breast cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying exemestane to see how well it works compared to anastrozole in preventing cancer recurrence in postmenopausal women who have undergone surgery for primary breast cancer.

|Study Start Date:
|June 2003
|Study Completion Date:
|March 2011
|Primary Completion Date:
|April 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Arm I
Patients receive oral exemestane (25 mg) once daily for 5 years.
Drug: exemestane
Given orally
Active Comparator: Arm II
Patients receive oral anastrozole (1 mg) once daily for 5 years.
Drug: anastrozole
Given orally
Detailed Description:
- Compare the event-free survival of postmenopausal women with receptor-positive primary breast cancer when treated with exemestane vs anastrozole.
- Compare the overall survival of patients treated with these regimens.
- Compare the time to distant recurrence in patients treated with these regimens.
- Compare the incidence of new primary contralateral breast cancer in patients treated with these regimens.
- Compare the incidence of all clinical fractures, specifically hip and vertebral fractures, in patients treated with these regimens.
- Compare cardiovascular morbidity and mortality (i.e., significant coronary heart disease, which includes myocardial infarctions and angina requiring percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty or coronary artery bypass graft, fatal and nonfatal strokes, and all vascular deaths) in patients treated with these regimens.
- Correlate therapy induced changes in breast density with plasma hormones and growth factors, drug levels of exemestane and anastrozole, genetic variation and breast cancer recurrence or contralateral events in patients treated with these regimens.
- Compare the toxic effects of these regimens in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to lymph node status at diagnosis (negative vs positive vs unknown), prior adjuvant chemotherapy (yes vs no), and herceptin use (yes vs no). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
- Arm I: Patients receive oral exemestane (25 mg) once daily for 5 years.
- Arm II: Patients receive oral anastrozole (1 mg) once daily for 5 years. In both arms, treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients are followed every 6 months during the first year of study participation and annually thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 6,840 patients will be accrued for this study.

If your dry cow mastitis management program doesn't include vaccination, you could be leaving your cows defenseless against environmental pathogens. Coliform mastitis, caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli) and other bacteria, can have devastating effects if a cow's immune system isn't armed to fight infection.
"E. coli mastitis vaccines are like artillery for a cow's immune system. They help protect against infection and minimize fallout when cases do occur," says Dan Funke, quality milk manager with Pfizer Animal Health.
By establishing E. coli mastitis vaccination programs and supplementing with mastitis prevention steps, such as teat sealants and environmental management, you can help reduce coliform mastitis severity and provide your cows with a better chance for successful treatment and recovery.
Funke offers three steps for equipping your herd with tools to help prevent severe coliform mastitis.
1. Investigate the enemy: Knowledge is power and with a little reconnaissance, you can better prepare a defense strategy. Culture mastitis cases and review records with your veterinarian to identify common pathogens on your dairy operation. E. coli is the most common cause of coliform mastitis, but other pathogens can be to blame. Tailor your vaccination and treatment protocols to the causative pathogen.
2. Devise a defense strategy: With culture records in hand, work with your veterinarian to develop a vaccination program that protects against E. coli mastitis. Review product labels, dosing and administration information, and efficacy and research to select the best vaccine for you and your dairy operation. Also, consider vaccines with lower endotoxin levels to limit negative reactions to vaccination.
3. Watch your flanks: Even with the best defense in place, including dry cow treatment, teat sealants and vaccination, don't forget the basics of good management. Vaccines and pharmaceutical products are never a substitute for good management. Work with your nutritionist to ensure your dry cow ration is optimal. Cow and facility hygiene also is necessary to limit exposure to environmental pathogens.
Be sure to set your cows up for success in their next lactation by providing them with an arsenal to fight off coliform mastitis. Talk to your herd veterinarian to confirm your herd is protected, and visit www.milkqualityfocus.com to get additional insight on dry cow management and E. coli mastitis vaccination.

Grand Finale for the BROADWAY AU CARRE Season Today
Whether you call yourself Parisian or you're just visiting the City of Light, Broadway au Carré is the hottest ticket in Paris to get your American musical theatre fix, along with a good glass of red wine.
Once a month, you can kick off your Wednesday evening at Le Carré Parisien, a typical Parisian café and cave-à-vins, with a cabaret concert by a featured performer, followed by an open mic, where some of the best local artists gather to belt out their favorite Broadway show tunes. Broadway au Carré also features a new musical theatre composer each month, with a set of songs that have never been performed in Europe before. The list of featured composers this season includes Will Van Dyke, Daniel Mate, Andrew Byrne, Peter Saxe and Niko Tsakalakos, among others.

These performers, young talents of the new generation of the French comédie musicale milieu, will be accompanied by famous music director Raphaël Sanchez (The Lion King, Avenue Q, Spamalot) and directed by Broadway au Carré's founder and artistic director Lisandro Nesis. The second part of the evening will include the "American Composers, European Premieres" set and an American musical theatre open mic, both accompanied by Raphaël Sanchez. The featured composers of the month will be Scott Burkell and Paul Loesel, whose songs will be performed by Léovanie Raud, Hervé Lewandowski and Lisandro Nesis. "We're so grateful to Paul and Scott for having taken the time to work so closely with us on this last American Composers, European Premieres set of the season," says Broadway au Carré's artistic director Lisandro Nesis, "it will be a real pleasure to present their works for the first time in Europe, including the brand-new vocal arrangement of Ordinary Day that Paul Loesel created especially for our Parisian team. It will make for the perfect grand finale for our Broadway au Carré season and we can't wait to share this wonderful music with our French audience!"
Broadway au Carré takes place once a month on Wednesday evenings at Le Carré Parisien located at 1, rue du Général Beuret, 75015 Paris, France.

2012 Maryland homicides increase
HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) - Maryland's prison agency is reporting a spike in inmate-on-inmate homicides.
The Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services says there were seven such deaths last year. That compares with an average of about four per year since 2001.
Spokesman Rick Binetti says the killings were isolated incidents and don't reflect a drop in security.
He says the department's focus on reducing gang violence has helped cut the number of serious assaults by inmates on both staff members and other prisoners.
Binetti says those reductions also reflect increased information-sharing among state prison managers and local law enforcement agencies.
He says overall inmate deaths, including suicides, are also down.
Binetti says "the institutions have never been safer."

5 keys to developing a 'bring your own device' (BYOD) policy in the workplace
It is critical that employers have strong policies in place to effectively set expectations between themselves and their employees. Properly setting expectations is almost as important as the policy itself.
Labor: The Genesis Healthcare decision and its impact on FLSA collective actions
Wage-and-hour collective action lawsuits brought by current or former employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) have become a source of massive concern for employers over the last several years, and with good reason.

Raiders down Torrington 4-2, fall to Lovell 14-12Jul 8, 2012 By Bruce Tippets, Sports Editor
Johnny Souza pitched a complete game as the Riverton Raiders downed Torrington 4-2 Saturday in an American Legion baseball tournament in Douglas.
The Lovell Mustangs outlasted the Raiders 14-12 in the second game of the day.
The Raiders play again Sunday to end the two-day tournament.
"We just came out with the attitude that we were going to play baseball against Torrington," Riverton assistant coach Cody Beers said. "Johnny's arm was feeling good. We played great defense behind him."
After the Douglas tournament, the Raiders play four straight Northwest conference games.
Riverton plays at Cody on Wednesday in a doubleheader at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.
The Raiders are 1-2 on the season vs. the Cubs. Riverton returns home on Wednesday, July 18, vs. Powell at Roy Peck Field for 3 p.m. and 5 p.m.
Powell swept the Raiders on June 21 in Park County.
Riverton 4, Torrington 2
Souza struck out 11 Torrington batters in 91 pitches in the seven-inning game. He gave up three hits in the two-run victory.
"That was the best pitching performance of the year," Beers said.
The Raiders scored their first run of the game in the second inning after Maurice King singled, advanced to third, and scored on a squeeze bunt by Josh Oaks. Riverton scored again for a 2-0 lead.
Torrington came back to deadlock the score at 2-2 in the top of the fifth on a couple of hits off Souza.
Riverton added one more in the bottom of the fifth. Nick Esposito singled, and Brady Beers had an RBI double. Riverton crossed home plate for an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth.

Thor: The Dark World trailer [Video!]
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Marvel Comics
The long-awaited trailer for Thor: The Dark World is finally here, offering a look at the main characters in the film, like Malekith (played by Christopher Eccleston.) Thor: The Dark World hits theaters on November 8, 2013.
Just as Marvels "Thor: The Dark World" continues the big-screen adventures of Thor, the Mighty Avenger, as he battles to save Earth and all the Nine Realms from a shadowy enemy that predates the universe itself. In the aftermath of Marvels "Thor" and "Marvels The Avengers," Thor fights to restore order across the cosmos…but an ancient race led by the vengeful Malekith returns to plunge the universe back into darkness. Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all.
Check out the trailer after the break!

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One Collection back on sale, release date confirmed
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Home Entertainment, Movies
It's been a long time coming for patiently waiting Marvel fans, but the 10-disc Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One - Avengers Assembled Blu-ray collection set is finally slated for release on April 2nd. The collection had previously been delayed by lawsuit, leaving Amazon to pacify pre-orderers with free copies of The Avengers.
Originally, the collection was to come with a S.H.I.E.L.D. briefcase, but that has since been scrapped due to the aforementioned licensing issue. It will, however, come with a suitcase featuring a glowing Tesseract on the inside. Also, thanks to the delay, the collection will have a few new extras, such as an early Iron Man 3 preview and the second phase of films. But with extra content comes extra financial responsibility, as the price is now $219 at retail--but you can preorder it for $197.10 on Amazon, saving yourself 10%.

The Avengers: I Finally Catch Up
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Movies, Reviews, Marvel Comics
Yeah, my bad. I finally got around to seeing The Avengers on the big screen with my old pal Dave Olbrich (he was seeing it for the third time).
I'll echo what is probably the view of 99% of the super-hero movie audience: (1) I loved it and (2) where was this movie when I was 13?
Afterwards, I had a few thoughts.
I was surprised by the sudden death of what I thought was a fairly major character in the continuity. I know Joss Whedon always likes to kill off someone in his movies – I'm sure the first draft of Toy Story had a sacrifice from Mr. Potato Head – so I should've been better prepared. But I wasn't. Sad to lose the character and sadder that the actor has lost a pretty good gig.
Tom Hiddleston was riveting as Loki, an excellent performance capturing the character's grandiose plans and his petty humanness. Here's hoping he gets as good a role in subsequent years and doesn't end up playing a Russian mobster on Person of Interest, or the put-upon dad in some lame sitcom.
This is my favorite Scarlett Johansson movie. And yes, I've seen more than one. Including that one. And that one too.

Weekend Reading: Borders, Barnes & Noble, Batman & Thor
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Movies, Reviews, DC Comics, Marvel Comics
Borders Books is finding no takers in its quest for a buyer, so unless a miracle happens, they're probably toast.
So it's a good thing they paid all those retention bonuses to people who can't make anything happen for them.
Their main brick-and-mortar competition, Barnes & Noble, is currently looking like the smartest girl in class. They've gotten a $1 billion (with a "b") offer from Liberty Media.
They probably aren't interested in the books or the stores, but since Liberty has a lot of old school media holdings, the one thing they lack for modern-day exploitation is Nook technology.
Let's go elsewhere for good reading:

Top 10 Surprises in Thor
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Movies, Reviews, Marvel Comics
Have you seen the new Thor movie yet? And if not, why not?
Of the summer's four big comic book movies - Thor, Green Lantern, Captain America and X-Men: First Class – it's the one with the distinguished pedigree (Kenneth Branagh! Sir Anthony Hopkins! Natalie Portman!) and one of the least likely super-hero movies besides Ant-Man or Metamorpho.
Curiosity alone makes it worth $10.
Having said all that, there were still a number of things about Thor that surprised me. Here's my Top 10.
10. It's not just his hammer that's called Mjolnir
9. Cameo by Stan Lee Media
8. His real name is "Sore"; he has a speech impediment
7. Shout out to Kirby; that's Kirby Carruthers, the assistant lighting director
6. Natalie Portman should be in every movie. Just sayin'.

The Mighty Thor Scores!
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Movies, DC Comics, Marvel Comics
So, is there some kind of comic book movie out this weekend or what?
Yes, that's right. Mighty Marvel Comics has unleashed one of its least-likely-to-star-in-a-hit-movie characters into his own hit movie: Thor. Word of mouth seems strong, box office seems stronger than Vin Diesel and by Odin's beard we'll probably be looking at Thor II and Son Of Thor before too long.
(In Son Of Thor, Thor's misunderstood teenaged son swings his mighty, but lesser, hammer in Manhattan around a cast of 90210/Gossip Girl lookalikes while trying to find love with that year's Kristen Stewart.)
Can Edgar Wright's long-awaited Ant-Man movie be far behind?
Marvel does a great job with their movies - they have a similar look and style, they churn them out with the punctuality of a European train, and they're either profitable or wildly profitable.

Brandon Routh Is Dylan Dog: Comic Book Movie
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Movies, Dark Horse Comics, DC Comics, Marvel Comics
So who's going to win the big summer comic book movie sweepstakes? Will it be Marvel's Thor? DC's Green Lantern? Cowboys & Aliens?
You might not know it, but there's another comic book based movie coming out and it's opening this Friday, April 29th.
Dylan Dog: Dead Of Night.
It's based on an Italian comic book series created by writer Tiziano Sclavi back in 1986. The series claims nearly 60 million readers worldwide, though almost none of them are in the U.S. The series was reprinted by Dark Horse in 7 volumes between 1999-2002.
The movie is set in New Orleans where Dylan is an investigator of the undead. Brandon Routh from Superman Returns plays Dylan, and the supporting cast includes Taye Diggs and Peter Stormare (so great in Fargo).

April Fools: Boom!, DC, Marvel and Captain America
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, DC Comics, Image Comics, Marvel Comics, TokyoPop
It's April 1, and I think we all know what that means:
Because of the declining sales of single issue comics, "Floppies" will now be referred to as "Limpies."
Boom! Studios has announced another new title for Kaboom! their kids imprint: The Kardashikins, the wacky adventures of Kim, Kourtney and Khloe when they were children.
Based on its recent cutbacks, cancellations and layoffs, L.A.'s largest manga publisher will change its name to Tokyoplop.
Marvel is so concerned about piracy that for the new Thor movie, they've banned The Recorder from the premiere.
To take advantage of product placement in the new Captain America movie, the Red Skull will be called Red Bull.
Image Comics has announced a spin-off to last year's Officer Downe: Officer Downe Syndrome.

MORE: The Food That Tons of Slim People Eat at Least Twice a Day
After a year of moderate wine drinking, participants' bad cholesterol levels were a little lower, regardless of which type of vino they consumed. On the whole, their good cholesterol levels weren't affected—unless, that is, they also exercised at least twice a week. In that case, they showed lower bad cholesterol levels, higher good cholesterol levels, and lower overall cholesterol at the end of the study.
MORE: Eat Yogurt, Lose Weight
Scientists are unsure as to why the combo of exercising and wine drinking might raise good cholesterol levels and plan on doing further research to understand the connection better. Still—sound like a good excuse to treat yourself to a post-run glass of wine if you ask us! (Just make sure to do it at least 30 minutes after your sweat session to avoid negative consequences like muscle damage, blood clots, and serious dehydration.)

Ex-Sooners QB Steve Davis killed in plane crash
Sadly, theres heartbreaking news on this Monday morning especially for the Sooner nation.
A family member of former Oklahoma quarterback Steve Davis (pictured left) confirmed to the Tulsa World that the ex signal caller was one of two people killed in a plane crash in Indiana on Sunday afternoon. The other victim was identified as Wesley Caves. Two other passengers and a third woman were also injured and taken to the hospital. One passenger was listed in critical condition, the other in fair condition.
Davis, just 60 years old at the time of his death, played for OU from 1972-76 and won 32 games as a starter along with two national titles as part of an incredible career.
I will never get away from the fact that I was an Oklahoma quarterback. I will never get away from the fact that I only lost one game, Davis said in an interview for the 2008 book The Die-Hard Fans Guide to Sooner Football. All of those things are a part of my legacy and my history. I am very thankful for what happened. I dont know that I would trade my career for any other quarterback that has ever played at OU.
They had a lot of scholarships and they recruited eight quarterbacks to try to find somebody that could imitate Jack Mildren, and I was one of those eight. I was the bottom of the eight but I was one of those eight, and through early fall drills I started out as number eight quarterback.
He would go on to become a star in OUs wishbone offense, though he completed just 40 percent of his passes for just over 2,000 yards. That mattered not in his 28 straight victories for the Sooners.
But Davis was also known for his character away from the field. Landry Jones, who would eventually surpass Davis 32 wins as OUs starting QB, had the former Sooner as one of his biggest supporters when facing criticism for inconsistent play.
He just really wanted to encourage me, Jones said. Just keep going, keep leading those guys and keep fighting, regardless of what happens in the next game or the last game. Your focus is on this game and always to lead those guys.
Davis former coach, Barry Switzer, tweeted his condolences this morning:
Echoing those sentiments, our thoughts go out to the Davis family, along with all those affected by the crash. Additionally, were thinking of the Sooner family today. A tough loss for them as well.

BOSTON — The Red Sox apparently are growing quite fond of grand slams.
Jonny Gomes connected on Boston's third grand slam in eight days — and second in two days — Saturday to give the Red Sox a 4-0 lead over the Oakland Athletics at Fenway Park. Gomes joined Dustin Pedroia and A.J. Pierzynski in Boston's ongoing grand slam parade.
Pedroia launched a grand slam off Ryan Cook in the sixth inning of Friday's 7-1 victory over the A's, and Pierzynski smacked one off Chad Jenkins in the third inning of last Saturday's 7-6 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Gomes took Oakland starter Tommy Milone deep into the Monster seats in the first inning Saturday.
Check out Gomes' grand slam below.
