Just over one week after Mickey Rooney's death, the screen legend will finally rest in peace. RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that Rooney's long-running court battle with his stepson Chris Aber has finally finished.
According to court documents obtained by Radar, a court judgement was reached last Thursday, April 10, which drew to a close the three-year battle in which Rooney had accused his stepson of numerous charges including elder abuse, fraud and neglect. Aber, 52, and his wife Christina, 37, had been looking after Rooney for more than 30 years.
The Hollywood actor spent millions on the legal fight, but died before he could see the suit come to a conclusion, when he passed away on April 6 at the age of 93.
The judgment passed down by Los Angeles Superior Court states that Rooney's conservator Michael Augustine and Aber 'have agreed to resolve all the matters of controversy between them and have consented to the terms of this judgment."
READ The Court Papers Ending The Bitter Family Feud
It states that "a Judgement shall be entered against Respondent Christopher Aber in the amount of Two Million Eight Hundred Sixty-Five Thousand Dollars and No Cents."
These were the damages Rooney's Estate was after, but the judgement notes that it can't "enforce" the payment "in any manner whatsoever."
The documents continue, "The Conservator warrants and agrees that this Stipulated Judgement may only be enforced as against Fire Insurance Exchange insurance policy."
That basically means the figure of $2.865m will never have to be paid by Aber, and his and Rooney's lawyers have signed off on it because the money had simply run out.
The court battle has cost Aber his home and made him bankrupt with debts spiraling to $250,000. Meanwhile, Rooney saw his Estate — once worth more than $1 million — drop to just $18,000 at the time of his death because of legal costs.
Nevertheless, the fight for his estate continues, as Radar has reported, since his children are squabbling over his fortune.

Annoying teaser ahoy! The tree-climbing dinosaurs are coming…
Tetrapod Zoology
The tree-climbing dinosaurs are coming
#2 Turdus July 20, 2008
Darn you! I saw the headline and got ready for an interesting read, scrolled down and…BAM a tease! Don't keep us waiting.
#3 Gray Stanback July 20, 2008
Sorry, Coturnix, but that's not a Therizinosaurus. That's Deinocheirus, the infamous "giant ornithomimid" from late Cretaceous Asia.
#7 Zach Miller July 21, 2008
Tree-climbing dinosaurs? That's un-possible! Everyone knows that the only tree-climber was Hypsilophodon, and it climbed trees out of pure boredom.
#8 Jerzy July 21, 2008
I guessed for years that many known dinosaurs were tree climbers.
Its simple. Forest treetops are rich ecological niche for plant-eaters and predators. Treetops in mesosoic forests were one, too. Life evolves to occupy every empty niche. So, either big community of mesosoic tree-dwelling animals magically hid itself from fossil records. Or mesosoic tree-dwellers are before our eyes but paleontologists overlook it.
For example, I interpret famous enlarged foot claw of dromaeosaurids and similar as tree-climbing aid for bipeds, all aggressive functions being secondary.
#9 Tengu July 21, 2008
Thats great, Darren, when are you going to get it out of the tree when it gets stuck?
(I once saw my father rescue a stuck cat…its not easy or particularly safe…and the blighters are never grateful to be rescued…)
#10 Smnt2000 July 21, 2008
Deinocherius is a gian basal ornithomimosaur, it isn't?So why is climbing in that picture???And, if it is one of the greatest theropod that ever lived (9-13 m long), it's too big for live on trees!!There are a lots of tree-living dinosaur, but they are very small, like Microraptor, Scansoriopteryx, Epidendrosaurus, Archaeopteryx (i know, it's a bird, but birds are only flying dinosaurus)!!!
#12 Graham King July 21, 2008
Darren, since you're covering tree-climbing dinosaurs, I hope you may find time to comment also on the liana-dangling theropod pair who met their demise in a gorge at the hands of Peter Jackson's King Kong…

Susan Kauffman:
Susan Kauffman, our student services receptionist at the School of Nursing, has been very busy these past few weeks with welcoming our incoming freshmen during STAR. She not only walked the students from the presentation given by the College of Health and Human Sciences but answered questions and made the students laugh and feel comfortable as they walked toward the School of Nursing. She continued to talk with the students after the nursing presentation when they got their nursing picture ID made. And it is always with a smile on her face! She knows that most of the incoming freshmen are anxious and excited, and she naturally makes the students feel less anxious. Thank you, Susan. -- Mary Musselman

Pat Forde remains unimpressed
Pat Forde submitted his list of college hoops' underachievers, and Northwestern has moved to the #1 spot. (As Loretta already pointed out, three of the top four are Big Ten teams.) here is what he had to say about NU:
1. Northwestern: Being an egghead school is a proven impediment to winning national titles for everyone but Duke -- but plenty of egghead schools have at least experienced some success. Stanford has gone to a Final Four and been a No. 1 seed several times, and Vanderbilt has become an annual contender in the Southeastern Conference.
Then there is Northwestern.
Despite proximity to a slew of talent, the Wildcats are famously still waiting for their first NCAA tournament invitation. Not first victory; first berth. That's pathetic.
On the plus side, one member of the media thinks Jimmer Shurna will lead us to the promised land next season.

Budget ammo comparison in G36 - WWB, Blazer Brass, Federal Champion
Since there was some discussion about ammo, especially some issues with the Winchester White Box, I decided I'd post a brief comparison having shot all 3 now.
When I first bought the G36 at French Creek Outfitters here in PA, I bought a box of Blazer Brass with which to shoot at their indoor range, at $25 for a box of 50. I had absolutely no problems and it was quite clean. I didn't have anything to compare it to, since this was the first time I had ever shot a Glock, let alone a .45 out of anything other than a custom 1911. Nevertheless, I was satisfied with a 5" grouping shot one-handed at 7 yards.
I then made a trip to Walmart and bought the 100 round box of the Winchester White Box for $32. At the range I noticed that for a couple rounds out of the 100, the slide didn't cycle as smoothly - but still did cycle. In other words, after the shot, you could see the back of the slide take a very split second to finish chambering the next round. In one round of the 100, the slide locked open mid-way through the magazine. I simply dropped the slide by hand and was back in action. Accuracy was seemingly worse. My groupings were noticeably larger than they had been the last time I was at the range with the Blazer Brass. I certainly don't claim to be more accurate than any ammo, so it could have entirely been placebo effect. I had my cousin there at the time, and asked him to load his custom Combat Commander with a magazine of the WWB, and the difference in groupings was insignificant, so the difference was likely just in my head. The WWB ammo is also very dirty. The smell was stronger, and it wasn't long before the end of the slide had the chalky white color.
With some digital calipers I compared the overall cartridge length of 2 of the WWB rounds to the Federal Champion rounds I discuss below. The overall length of the WWB cartridges was 1.272 inches. For reference the SAAMI maximum length for any .45 acp cartridge is 1.275 inches. The federal Champion cartridges were 1.263 inches in length. The differences is enough to be seen with good naked eyes. I and others on here suspect this difference may account for why the WWB doesn't always feed as smoothly in the G36.
When it comes to range ammo though, the issues with the WWB were very minor compared to the price difference - $16 per 50 versus $25 per 50 of the Blazer Brass. I therefore headed back to Walmart for another box of the WWB. The ammo case was even more bare than last time, and there was absolutely no .45 ammo. I returned the next day since I was driving by the store anyway just in case I was lucky. I was. They had just received 8 50-round boxes of Federal Champion, at $16 a box. Yes, that's the same price per 50 as the WWB. I grabbed 2 boxes.
I've seen others say the the Federal Champion is basically the same round as the Blazer Brass. I think that's likely the case as both are owned by the same parent company, both look the same, and are advertised as 830 fps. The Federal Champion appears to be a Walmart-specific line, especially since the model number begins with "WM". It basically shot the same for me as the Blazer Brass - clean, smooth, and accurate. Given that it's the same price per 50 as the WWB, there's no reason I would shoot anything other than this ammo.
So if you can find Blazer Brass or Federal Champion for the same price or even slightly more than the WWB, without a doubt I'd go for the BB or FC. If all you can find for less than $20 a box is WWB, then it's still perfectly suitable as range ammo.

Cooper, Rachel and Wootton, Andrew B. and Bruce, Margaret (1998) "Requirements capture":theory and practice. Technovation, 18 (8/9). pp. 497-511. ISSN 0166-4972
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Monitoring changing customer needs and requirements, along with shortening product development cycle times, are major concerns for manufacturing companies. Factors which influence these concerns are determined often at the front end of New Product Development (NPD). Approaches to requirements capture were investigated from telecommunications, automotive and IT industries. It was found that the automotive company used market research agencies as an ongoing input into the NPD process, while the computing company was attempting to introduce a cross-disciplinary approach to both idea capture and requirements capture.

boat bringing its catch back to Ilfracombe harbour, North Devon, England ]]
A fishery (plural: fisheries) is an organized effort by humans to catch fish or other aquatic species, an activity known as fishing. Generally, a fishery exists for the purpose of providing human food, although other aims are possible (such as sport or recreational fishing, or obtaining ornamental fish or fish products such as fish oil. Industrial fisheries are fisheries where the catch is not intended for direct human consumption.
Regardless of purpose, however, the term fishery generally refers to a fishing effort centered on either a particular ecoregion or a particular species or type of fish or aquatic animal, and usually fisheries are differentiated by both criteria. Examples would be the salmon fishery of Alaska, the cod fishery off the Lofoten islands or the tuna fishery of the Eastern Pacific. Most fisheries are marine, rather than freshwater; most marine fisheries are based near the coast. This is not only because harvesting from relatively shallow waters is easier than in the open ocean, but also because fish are much more abundant near the coastal shelf, due to coastal upwelling and the abundance of nutrients available there.
Fisheries have been important parts of human life and food production throughout history. Fisheries have become a part of human cultures and mythologies, providing a community identity and a subject for artists throughout the ages. Partially, this is because fisheries are irretrievably wrapped up in humanity's perpetual fascination with the sea, and partially, because they have been a major source of food and income for many communities throughout the ages. One of the world's longest lasting trade histories is the trade of dry cod from the Lofoten area to the southern parts of Europe, Italy, Spain and Portugal. The cod trading started during the viking period or before, has been going on for more than 1000 years and is still important.
According to The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2002 (published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations), in 2000, total world capture fisheries production was 86 million tons. The top producing countries were, in order, the People's Republic of China (excluding Hong Kong and Taiwan), Peru, Japan, the United States, Chile, Indonesia, Russia, India, Thailand, Norway and Iceland. Those countries accounted for more than half of the world's production; China alone accounted for a third of the world's production. Of that production, over 90% was marine and less than 10% was inland.
The methodology used in fisheries varies based on the region, the species being fished for, and the amount of income and technology available to the fisher. A fishery can consist of a single person with a small boat hand-casting nets, to a huge fleet of trawlers processing tons of fish per day. Some common commercial techniques today are trawling, seining, driftnetting, longlining, and gillnetting.
For some communities, both currently and historically, fisheries provide not only a source of food and work but also a community and cultural identity.
This shows up in art, literature, and traditions. These communities are generally those that have been historically dependent on fishing as a source of income and food.
There are large and important fisheries worldwide for various species of fish, mollusks and crustaceans. However, a very small number of species support the majority of the world's fisheries. Some of these species are herring, cod, anchovy, tuna, flounder, mullet, squid, shrimp, salmon, crab, lobster, oyster and scallops. All except these last four provided a worldwide catch of well over a million tonnes in 1999, with herring and sardines together providing a catch of over 22 million metric tons in 1999. Many other species as well are fished in smaller numbers, both locally and globally.
Fisheries science is the academic discipline of managing and understanding fisheries. It draws on the disciplines of biology, ecology, oceanography, economics and management to attempt to provide an integrated picture of fisheries. It is typically taught in a university setting, and can be the focus of an undergraduate, master's or Ph.D program. It is in universities worldwide, usually organised as multidisciplinary programs involving parts of traditional university disciplines. In some cases new disciplines have emerged, as in the case of bioeconomics. A few universities also offer fully integrated programs in fisheries science.

Considering the importance of fisheries, and that they depend on a natural resource, it is no surprise that there are many pressing environmental issues surrounding them. These can be classed into issues that involve the availability of fish to be caught, such as overfishing, sustainable fisheries, and fishery management; and issues surrounding the impact of fishing on the environment, such by-catch. These fishery conservation issues are generally considered part of marine conservation, and many of these issues are addressed in fisheries science programs. They are also, however, controversial. There is an apparent and growing disparity between the availability of fish to be caught and humanity's desire to catch them, a problem that is exacerbated by the rapidly growing worldwide population. As with some other environmental issues, often the people engaged in the activity of fishing – the fishers – and the scientists who study fisheries science, who are often acting as fishery managers, are in conflict with each other, as the dictates of economics mean that fishers have to keep fishing for their livelihood, but the dictates of sustainable science mean that some fisheries must close or reduce to protect the health of the population of the fish themselves. It is starting to be realized, however, that these two camps must work together to ensure fishery health through the 21st century and beyond.
The literature on fisheries—both scientific and popular—is vast. The literature is subdivided into dozens of topics, from fishing gear design, to the impact of fish biology and oceanography on fisheries, to how to most effectively manage fisheries. Some good places to start are the websites of fisheries science departments and the catalogs of university library. Some well known journals about fisheries are Fisheries, Fisheries Oceanography, Fishery Bulletin, and The Canadian Journal of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences. In addition, many countries have their own regional journals.
Fisheries historically
"Egyptians bringing in fish, and splitting for
salting"Fisheries in the present day
Today, fisheries are estimated to provide 16% of the world population's protein, and that figure is considerably elevated in some developing nations and in regions that depend heavily on the sea. Fisheries are a huge global business and provide income for millions of people. Fisheries have been and continue to be culturally important for many communities as well.

A New Jersey cardiologist will receive $2.4 million for his role in a whistleblower lawsuit against Cooper Health System and Cooper University Hospital. Following an investigation by the US Department of Justice and the New Jersey Attorney General's Office, Cooper agreed last week to pay $12.6 million to settle Medicare and Medicaid fraud allegations. The federal qui tam lawsuit was originally filed by Delaware Valley cardiologist Nicholas L. DePace, who claimed that Cooper paid illegal kickbacks to physicians for patient referrals.

Small Study Suggests Yoga May Benefit AF Patients Reply
A small study published online in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology suggests that yoga may benefit people who have atrial fibrillation. The study, which the authors describe as "a small, proof-of-concept study," is the first of its kind. The findings raise the possibility that yoga may reduce AF symptoms and arrhythmia burden. Other physiological and quality of life benefits were also observed. But, the authors caution, large randomized trials will be required to confirm the finding.

FDA Approves Mipomersen For Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia Reply
The FDA said today that it had granted approval to the novel cholesterol-lowering drug mipomersen sodium for use as an adjunct to diet and drug therapy in patients with homozygous hypercholesterolemia. The drug, which was developed by Isis Pharmaceuticals, will be marketed under the brand name of Kynamro by Genzyme.
Kynamro was approved as an orphan drug, which the FDA describes as meaning it was developed to treat a condition affecting less than 200,000 people. The standard of approval for orphan drugs is less rigorous than other drugs. There has been some confusion about the number of people who have homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. The FDA and ISIS/Genzyme said the condition affects about one in every million people.
Popular Antidepressants May Put Patients At Risk For Serious Arrhythmias 1
In August 2011 the FDA issued a safety communication recommending that the extremely popular antidepressant citalopram (Celexa) not be used at doses greater than 40 mg/day because of a potential increased risk for serious cardiac arrhythmias associated with prolongation of the QT interval. Now a study published in BMJ lends support to this warning and suggests that other antidepressants may also prolong the QT interval.

ESC Gives A Shot In the Arm To Radial Access For PCI Procedures: The New Default? Reply
Radial access is now the preferred approach for percutaneous coronary interventions, according to a consensus document from the European Society of Cardiology and other European organizations and published online in EuroIntervention. However, at least one prominent US interventional cardiologist thinks the "hard benefits" of radial access "are more controversial," though he supports increased use of the newer approach.
Study Warns Against Dual Blockade of Renin-Angiotensin System In Heart Failure And Hypertension 1
The enormous success of ACE inhibitors in hypertension and heart failure spurred hope that adding a second drug to block the renin-angiotensin system would yield improved outcomes. Although definitive evidence supporting dual blockade of the renin-angiotensin system has never been found, more than 200,000 patients in the US currently receive this therapy. Now a large new meta-analysis suggests that dual blockade results in no improvement in mortality but is associated with an increase in important adverse events.
In a paper published online in BMJ, Harikrishna Makani and colleagues at Columbia University and New York University performed a meta-analysis of more than 68,000 patients who were enrolled in clinical trials comparing dual blockade of the renin-angiotensin system with monotherapy. They found no significant difference between the groups for all cause mortality or cardiovascular mortality, although dual blockade was associated with a signifcant 18% reduction in hospital admission for heart failure:

The Big Gamble of CETP Inhibitors 2
Merck has invested a substantial amount of money on the CETP inhibitor anacetrapib. Chemist and veteran pharma blogger Derek Lowe suspects that the company might as well have plunked the money down in a casino.
In a provocative new post, Lowe wonders if big pharma, in its desperation, has abandoned rational research in favor of, essentially, gambling. He notes that CETP is "a drug target that has incinerated a lot of money over the years" and wonders whether any of the compounds will "ever make it as a drug?" The failure of past CETP inhibitors, torcetrapib (Pfizer) and dalceptrapib (Roche), along with the recent failure of Tredaptive (Merck), "illustrate how little we know about this area [HDL]."

The Best Doctor Blog On The Internet 1
Let me say it right away: the best blog written by a doctor, at least that I've ever read, is by a provincial South African general surgeon who calls himself Bongi. He doesn't write about complex medical policy, and he doesn't worry too much about appropriate use criteria or whether a patient who needs anticoagulation should get warfarin or Xarelto. Instead, he writes about his astonishing experiences as a front-line surgeon (and, for many years, as a medical trainee) in a country on the border between first and third world medicine.
His stories will blow your head off. One minute you'll be laughing. The guy is seriously funny, possessing a keen sarcastic wit with an edgy South African accent. But then, suddenly, just when you're enjoying the antics of his colleagues and countrymen,he'll turn deadly serious, and leave you breathless or in tears.
Renal Denervation: Delineating Its Uses, Misuses, and Possibilities Reply
Over on CardioExchange, Murray Essler, the chief investigator of the Symplicity HTN-2 trial, answers questions from John Ryan about renal denervation:
Non-pharmacologic antihypertensive measures must remain the starting point for patients with hypertension, but will often not be enough. Renal denervation should be reserved for patients in whom behavior modification combined with adequate and skillful antihypertensive drug prescribing cannot achieve BP reduction to target. There are no clinical trial data to support renal denervation in hypertension outside of this setting. In countries where the "genie is out of the bottle", and clinical use is authorized, prevention of overuse will be difficult. In some instances government regulations will confine the use of renal denervation to drug-resistant hypertension. Insurer or governmental reimbursement rules should be framed to prevent overuse.
Trials Of Niacin And Atrial Fibrillation Device Will Headline American College Of Cardiology Program Reply

Becoming Your Own Doctor In The Brave New World Of Personalized Medicine Reply
Lately there's been a lot of talk about personalized medicine. There's a bold idea going around that people should take control of their own healthcare and manage the flood of new data stemming from a whole bunch of new technologies, including, but hardly limited to, personal genomes, biomarkers, wireless sensors, and iPhone ECGs.
…boutique-style healthcare is a lot like organic food, which may taste better and may help a few privileged people feel better about themselves, and may possibly yield a small individual health benefit (though there is absolutely no evidence to show this). However, there is absolutely no chance that organic food can be used to actually feed the vast majority of the 7 billion or so people currently living on this planet.
Similarly, taking control of individual health data will almost certainly allow a few privileged and obsessed people to feel they're better off than most. It may even improve their health. But, again, more importantly, there is no possibility in the foreseeable future that this self-management of extremely complex personal health data will improve the overall public health of the planet.
Two Experts Help Sort Out The New Generation Of Anticoagulants Reply
Don't miss this very practical discussion about the new generation of anticoagulants and the short term loan costs to cover them over on CardioExchange. Here are a few excerpts.
Christian Thomas Ruff:
I believe the addition of the 3 currently approved novel anticoagulants (dabigatran, rivaroxaban, and apixaban) will eventually translate into a greater proportion of eligible patients being treated; it certainly has in my practice…
Although I think it is important to continue to develop reversal agents for the novel anticoagulants, I don't think the lack of such an agent is sufficient reason to avoid using a novel anticoagulant.
I think that price is one of the most important factors that has hindered uptake of the novel agents. Although these drugs may well be "cost-effective" in complicated analyses that focused on the costs and benefits to society at large, it is the out of pocket expense for the drugs that really matters to patients…
Andrew E. Epstein:
It is highly unlikely that a direct comparison of the new anticoagulants will ever be done. Thus, we will have to choose between one or another based on pharmacokinetics, convenience, and perhaps formulary availability. Substudy analyses are also important…
I am concerned that although the elderly often have the most to gain from the new anticoagulants, they are also the patients at greatest risk for bleeding, especially if renal function is labile with drugs cleared by the kidneys. For such patients, warfarin should be considered.
Amgen Trial Fails To Show Benefit Of Anemia Drug In Heart Failure Patients Reply
The bad news continues for Aranesp (darbepoetin alfa), Amgen's long-acting erythropoietin-stimulating agent. The drug is intended to stimulate red cell blood production in patients with anemia. Amgen today announced the top line results of a large phase 3 heart failure trial of the drug and said the trial had failed to meet its primary endpoint.
The RED-HF (Reduction of Events With Darbepoetin Alfa in Heart Failure) Trial, which started in 2006, had randomized 2,278 patients with heart failure and anemia to receive either Aranesp or placebo.

FDA Releases St. Jude Warning Letter Reply
The FDA on Tuesday released the full text of a warning letter sent last week to St. Jude Medical.

The letter from the FDA is the latest in a series of setbacks, short term loans UK and challenges to the company's Durata and Riata ICD leads.
Large Meta-Analysis Finds No Harm Associated With Eggs 2
No food has had more ups and downs over the last century or so than the common egg. Following a long period in which eggs were ubiquitous and highly regarded, eggs fell from favor with the rise of concerns over cholesterol. Currently the American Heart Association recommends that people restrict dietary cholesterol to 300 mg per day, which effectively limits people to 1 egg per day at most. However, the relationship of dietary cholesterol and serum cholesterol is, at best, tenuous, and a significant number of experts now believe that egg consumption poses no risk to cardiovascular health.
In a new paper published in BMJ, a group of researchers from China and Boston performed a meta-analysis of 8 studies that included 263 938 participants for coronary heart disease (CHD) and 210 404 participants for stroke and followed them for 8 to 22 years. The authors found no evidence for an association between egg consumption and either coronary heart disease or stroke…
UK Politician Urges More Use Of Ticagrelor To Preserve AstraZeneca Jobs In UK 3
Use it or lose it. A UK politician is urging the National Health Service (NHS) to increase use of the antiplatelet drug ticagrelor (trade name Brilinta in the US, Brilique and Possia in the EU) in order to prevent the loss of British jobs.
Like nearly all the major pharmaceutical companies, AstraZeneca has been fighting a difficult cycle of patent expirations and unsuccessful new drugs, leading to repeated rounds of layoffs. But, according to the Manchester Evening News, the UK-based company, with the help of UK politicians, is seeking to turn lemons into lemonade. Science Minister David Willetts is lobbying the National Health Service (NHS) "to increase its use of an AstraZeneca heart medicine, amid mounting political concern about the drugs company's commitment to British jobs.
The minister, according to the paper, "has urged health officials to accelerate the uptake of Brilique [ticagrelor], a blood thinner used to treat patients suffering from severe angina or heart attacks, which has sold poorly despite winning a green light from the NHS's cost-effectiveness watchdog in 2011.
AstraZeneca said although it invests heavily in producing new drugs in this country, it's difficult to persuade primary healthcare trusts to adopt new costly medicines.
The group added: "Despite this recommendation and the NHS target of reducing the mortality rate from cardiovascular disease, it is currently only routinely available to patients in some parts of England.
"We share the NHS and the Government's objective of broadening patient access to innovative medicines and continue to engage in dialogue."

Atrial Fibrillation Linked To Increased Risk For Sudden Cardiac Death Reply
Although atrial fibrillation (AF) is well known to be associated with an increase in the risk of stroke and coronary heart disease, a similar association with sudden cardiac death (SCD) has been suspected but not demonstrated in the past. Now a new study examing data from two large population studies offers evidence that AF is also an independent risk factor for SCD.
Merck Starts To Suspend Worldwide Availability Of Tredaptive Reply
In the wake of the negative HPS2-THRIVE study announced last month, Merck said today that it was beginning to suspend the worldwide availability of Tredaptive, its combination of extended-release niacin and laropiprant.
Acute Kidney Injury Associated With Dual Antihypertensive Therapy And NSAIDs Reply
Adding a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) to dual antihypertensive therapy (a diuretic plus either an ACE inhibitor or an angiotensin receptor blocker) is associated with an increase in risk for kidney injury, according to a large new retrospective study published in BMJ.

Should Niacin Still Be Prescribed? William Boden Versus Harlan Krumholz 1
In the wake of HPS2-THRIVE many have argued that there is no longer any reason to prescribe niacin. William Boden, the lead investigator of AIM-HIGH and COURAGE, thinks there were enough flaws in the design of the niacin trials to justify the cautious use of niacin in certain circumstances. Says Boden:
"There is evidence of clinical outcome improvement (i.e., CHD death/MI reduction) from VA-HIT for gemfibrozil; there is similar clinical outcome improvement for niacin from the Coronary Drug Project. Numerous studies show niacin's benefit on surrogate outcome measures (i.e., quantitative coronary angiography, IVUS, cIMT, etc.). What more evidence do you need?"
" I have not given up on niacin."
Harlan Krumholz disagrees:
"We have to face the facts about the trials. They have failed to be supportive, and despite concerns about their flaws, they were developed by some of the best minds in our profession (including yours) and had millions of dollars devoted to them. I just feel that we cannot justify millions of people being prescribed a drug that has failed in two recent, large, prominent trials, which actually had signals of harm…"

Observation Units For Heart Failure Could Reduce Unnecessary Hospitalizations 1
Two new papers published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology propose that most heart failure (HF) patients who present to the emergency department (ED) don't need to be hospitalized and can be safely managed in an observation unit. Currently, the vast majority of HF patients who show up in the ED are hospitalized….

Early Results: Antiplatelet Drug Cangrelor Appears Effective For PCI Reply
The experimental antiplatelet drug cangrelor was superior to traditional clopidogrel in reducing ischemic events at 48 hours in PCI patients, according to the Medicines Company, which is developing the drug. The company today announced positive results from the phase 3 CHAMPION PHOENIX trial, a randomized, double-blind study comparing intravenous cangrelor to oral clopidogrel in PCI patients. The primary endpoint was the composite of death, MI, revascularization and stent thrombosis at 48 hours.

Are Cardiologists Worried About Being Accused Of Unnecessary PCI? 3
In the last week two cases highlighted, yet again, the continuing shift in standards regarding PCI. In his interventional cardiology blog on CardioExchange, Rick Lange asks cardiologists: Could You Be Accused of Doing Unnecessary PCI?
"Public confidence is eroding as the number of reports of physician suspensions and monetary penalties for unnecessary PCIs grow. Accordingly, patients are questioning use of PCI, even when it is indicated and advisable."
"Have investigations into unnecessary stenting changed your interventional practice? How so?"
Two Retractions For Embattled Chief Investigator Of Kyoto Heart Study Reply
The editor of Circulation Journal, the official journal of the Japanese Circulation Society (and not to be confused with the American Heart Association's better known Circulation) has announced the retraction of two substudies from the Kyoto Heart Study. The papers, according to the editor, "contain a number of serious errors in data analysis."
Richard Lehman On ICDs In Clinical Practice And Serelaxin For HF Reply
This week in CardioExchange Richard Lehman is not quite as funny as most weeks (perhaps he's still recovering from New Years' celebrations?), but he has some interesting and useful comments on a JAMA study comparing real world patients garcinia cambogia plant uses in registries to patients in clinical trials and an impressive Lancet study testing the role of the novel agent serelaxin in acute heart failure.
"So after much hard work and statistical legerdemain, the study shows that the mortality of real-life heart failure patients after ICD implantation for primary prevention is the same as that in the trials, and less than that of the control patients in the trials. Which I guess is a useful thing to know."
"I don't think that by itself it changes practice in any way, but it does show that recombinant human relaxin 2, serelaxin, is an interesting new treatment that deserves further study in heart failure."

Glossary Definition of word.
graphophonic cueing system
The graphophonic cueing system is one of the main four language cueing systems. This technique is also known as the phonic cueing system or the phonological cueing system. The graphophonic cueing system is based upon analyzing letters and phonemes. A phoneme is an irreducible phonetic unit corresponding to a particular sound. The prefix grapho- means writing. The word phonic means of or relating to sound. Graphophonic analysis studies the letter-sound relationships within a word. The sounds often hint towards a certain meaning.
We sound out words by their parts using graphophonic techniques. A student may not recognize a word when written, but instantly knows a word's definition when the word is heard or successfully pronounced. This is the difference between a person's oral vocabulary versus his reading vocabulary. (See vocabulary for more.)
There are two notable weaknesses to inferring meaning based upon sound alone: pronunciation and homophones. The English language is very flexible and dialects morph over time and by geography. As a result, the way people pronounce words or combine letters is irregular. Secondly, homophones are words which sound the same yet have different meanings (wear vs. where).
Graphophonic cueing determines the possible meaning of a word based upon the phonetic sounds within the word. For example, consider the word psalmist in the King James version of 2 Samuel 23:1: "Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said...." Many readers know that the letter p is silent when beginning a word and followed by the letter s. Furthermore, the average reader knows that the letter a is soft when not followed by a vowel. The suffix -ist is pronounced as it appears. Thus, the word psalmist is pronounced as sälm-ist. The sound sälm follows the word psalm, which is a short lyrical poem. This suffix -ist follows nouns describing someone of reputation, skill, or loyalty to a particular belief, ability, custom, or knowledge (e.g., evangelist, biblicist, monotheist, religionist, spiritualist, or canonist). A psalmist is one who is skilled in lyrical poetry. However, graphophonic cues are most evident with onomatopoeias (e.g., slap, crash, zip, tick tock, knock-knock, buzz, hiss, tweet, bark, roar, zoom, etc.) which create a rhetorical effect denoting the meaning of the word when pronounced.

16mm Brown-Striped Picasso Polished Oval Beads [10]
Cost per bead: |
45 cents |
Bead material: |
Glass |
Country of origin: |
Czech Republic |
Size/shape: |
16.5mm (long) x 11.5mm (wide) x 5mm (thick) ovals with polished sides or "windows". |
Colors/description: |
Dark-brown and topaz wavy stripes in white glass, with a bluish-brown mottled "picasso" coating around the edges. |
Hole size: |
1mm (estimated). |
Defects: |
I eliminate seriously defective beads before shipping. I can't eliminate every bead which has a slight defect, so I use my judgement as to which defects are so serious that the bead can't be used. Certainly, cracks, deep or long scratches, large pits, partially polished sides, large spots of picasso coating on the sides, and significant malformations are all enough for me to eliminate a bead. But I may not eliminate a bead if it has very shallow scratches, small pits, or very small spots of picasso coating on the sides, or other small anomalies that don't ruin the overall appearance. If you receive any beads which you find unacceptable, please contact me for a pro-rated refund. |
How photographed: |
At the window in natural daylight. |
Comments: |
These beads are similar to the G1706 beads, but they are considerably darker. They are more "rustic" in appearance than most polished beads, although they are not as rustic as my picture makes them look. My picture doesn't show how smooth the surface of the beads is. Also, it makes the beads look like they have a lot of speckly defects, but I don't see that with my eyes. |

VIP is a demonstration project with a goal to decrease modifiable risk factors for those with a higher risk of having a vascular event such as a heart attack or stroke or of developing vascular disease. Introduced as a study, VIP compares whether there is a significant reduction of modifiable vascular risk factors among patients who are involved in a personalized directed program versus those being provided standard care by their physician. Health care providers work collaboratively with the 'VIP Team' to improve the participants' vascular health.

Detailed Description:
This Northern Ontario, community-based demonstration project is a multi-disciplinary, primary care provider-based collaboration. The goals of the project are to:
- Decrease the modifiable risk factors for primary care patients at risk for vascular disease in the Algoma District;
- Increase collaboration between health care providers such as family physicians, pharmacists, physiotherapists, dietitians and nurses in the community;
- Increase the participation of the patient and family in decision-making, self-care, and adherence to agreed-upon management plans;
- Improve patient access to care, clinical outcomes and satisfaction;
- Provide a business case for a practical, sustainable and generalizable model for the primary care of vascular disease in the community.
The Group Health Centre, a multi-disciplinary, not-for-profit community-based health organization with 56,000 rostered patients, leads the project. However, all Sault Ste Marie community patients are eligible to join the Vascular Intervention Program (VIP). This program has three key components: a registry of VIP patients with audit, recall and feedback; use of the novel ACTION score template, and the optional use of VIPNet, a personalized patient record tool that provides secure web access to optimize quality and continuity of care. The VIP project aims to empower patients and increase collaboration among the primary health care team. Patients with any vascular risk factors will be eligible for VIP.
The VIP project is a demonstration project that does not duplicate existing GHC chronic disease management programs because (1) the VIP is offered to all eligible community patients, not only GHC enrollees; (2) VIP integrates any patients with vascular risk, not just those with pre-defined conditions; (3) novel collaborative tools such as the ACTION template and VIPNet website are being piloted; and (4) explicit patient-centred decision making drives the process. The development and evaluation of the VIP demonstration project is a unique step in the evolution of primary care chronic disease management in Sault Ste Marie, and the rest of the province.

The Malik Report
Have the Red Wings signed Drew Miller to a 3-year contract extension? Yes indeedy
by George Malik on 06/14/13 at 12:16 PM ET
Comments (25)
Updated 13x at 6:15 PM: This hasn't been confirmed yet, but, per Pro Hockey Talk's Jason Brough, Josh Rimer's reporting that the Red Wings have signed Drew Miller to a 3-year contract extension:
That would be a fair deal given Miller's versatility as a penalty-killer, occasional top-six forward and someone who posts 15-20 points a season despite playing only 8-12 minutes per game at times, though he can play much more as necessary.
Update: MLive's Ansar Khan's confirming:
Update #2:
Update #3: the Macomb Daily's Chuck Pleiness also confirms:
Drew Miller got his wish.
According to a source, the Wings have inked their penalty-kill specialist to a three-year deal worth $4.05 million to stay in Detroit.
"I would like to stay," Miller said after the season. "I've got to talk to Babs and to Kenny Holland, figure out what their approach is to coming back. I don't have much more to say other than I'd like to come back. But being in a position to have options is something that could possibly be looked at but my first choice would be to stay and come back."
The deal with worth $1.35 million a season.
Miller, 29, got a nice little raise from the $850,000 her made last season.
"I'm a huge fan of Millsie," Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "Millsie's an important part of this team. When he was out, we missed him."
Update #4: MLive's Ansar Khan confirms in text form, too:
The Detroit Red Wings have signed forward Drew Miller to a three-year contract extension worth $1.35 million per season, a source told M-Live.com.
Miller, 29, is a fourth-line energy player with strong defensive instincts and penalty-killing ability. Despite his slight build (6-foot-2, 178), he gets involved in high-traffic areas, down low and in front of the net. And he has some offensive ability, having scored 38 goals since the Red Wings claimed him off waivers from Tampa Bay on Nov. 11, 2009.
Miller had four goals, four assists and a minus-8 rating in 44 games this season. He suffered a broken right hand when hit by a shot April 20 in Vancouver. He missed the final four regular season games and first eight playoff games before returning in Game 2 of the second round against Chicago.
Miller's 2012-13 salary was $850,000.
Update #5: The Free Press's Helene St. James also confirms:
I DO NOT expect Miller's re-signing to affect the team's desire to re-sign Damien Brunner or pursue an unrestricted free agent of the Bickell/Stalberg variety.
I DON'T KNOW whether Miller's re-signing means that Daniel Cleary's done as a Wing, but I would imagine that Cleary has to take a pay cut to remain;
And I DO know that Miller's re-signing will not bump Gustav Nyquist, Joakim Andersson or Tomas Tatar from the lineup, but it may mean that Mikael Samuelsson will be bought out, and it does place Patrick Eaves and Cory Emmerton's futures with the team in danger.
Update #6: Via RedWingsFeed, the Detroit News's sports staff's deemed this to be a "report":
Drew Miller and the Red Wings reportedly have reached an agreement on a new three-year contract, avoiding free agency for the veteran forward.
Miller, 29, earned $837,500 in 2012-13, when he had four goals and four assists in 44 games.
The former Michigan State player and East Lansing native is a valuable penalty killer and fourth-line grinder.
Update #7: Here's the Free Press's St. James' report in text format:
Drew Miller's versatility made him too good to let go, even as the Detroit Red Wings have an overflow up front.
Miller agreed to a three-year deal worth $4.05 million today, three weeks before he could have hit the market as an unrestricted free agent.
Miller, 29, had four goals among eight points in 44 games this past season, lost late to a broken thumb. He returned to make six appearances in the playoffs, in which he had a goal and one assist.
Miller mostly is a bottom-six forward, playing left wing on the third or fourth line, but his quick feet have led to more than a few shifts on a top line when needed. He's also crucial to the penalty kill.
The Wings first acquired Miller, a former Spartan, off waivers from Tampa Bay in November 2009. This is the third time he has been re-signed.
Update #8: Via RedWingsFeed, WXYZ is mostly confirming...
According to reports, the Detroit Red Wings have signed Drew Miller to a new three-year extension on Friday. The new deal is worth $1.35 million per season.
Miller, 29, earned $850,000 last season in which he scored four goals and four assists in 44 games before suffering a broken thumb late in the season. The former Michigan State player and East Lansing native serves a valuable role on the penalty kill.
The Wings acquired Miller back in 2009 off waivers from Tampa Bay and have kept him in a Red Wings sweater ever since.
And here's a little more from St. James:
Miller puts the Wings at 12 forwards under contract for the coming season, a number that will grow by two when restricted free agent forwards Gustav Nyquist and Joakim Andersson are signed. Miller was one of four forwards headed toward UFA status, and the Wings very much want to sign two of the three left: Daniel Cleary and Damien Brunner. Valtteri Filppula is expected to sign elsewhere for more money.
It's not uncommon for teams to have excess players on rosters during the off-season — and even coming into training camp. As it stands right now, the Wings don't know whether Darren Helm will be back — a back injury dating to January has confounded treatment. Mikael Samuelsson is still dealing with a pectoral injury, one of many he had last season. And then there's Cory Emmerton, who is under contract but who is a bubble player because of the push of incoming players like Andersson, Nyquist and Tomas Tatar.
Update #9: The Detroit News's Ted Kulfan's confirming and adds quotes from Miller's agent, former Wings defenseman Jason Woolley:
The Red Wings signed forward Drew Miller, a potential unrestricted free agent, to a three-year contract according to Miller's agent, Jason Woolley.
The deal is worth $4.05 million.
Woolley, a longtime former NHL player and former Red Wing, said Miller and the Red Wings are a good fit.
"From day one Drew and I always talked about building the Drew Miller brand," Woolley said. "Build consistency within your game and be in an environment where you can play your best and be the most efficient. That's the key to a long career, which I was able to have also. Don't be greedy.
"Babs (coach Mike Babcock) is a big fan of Drew's and knows how to play him and Kenny (general manager Ken Holland) is a big fan of his. Drew is close to home and loves the organization, and how can you not? We didn't see any reason to change his path."
Update #10:
"It feels great," Miller told the Free Press. "I'm excited, my wife is excited, my family is excited. This is where I wanted to be. It's a great organization, great coaching staff, great bunch of guys. We have a lot of talent in the locker room, and I believe we'll be a very good team next year."
The $4.05-million deal has an annual salary cap hit of $1.35 million.
"I know we have a lot of people on the roster, but at the same time, they wouldn't have been talking to me unless they wanted me to play a role on the team," Miller said. "The three-year deal shows me that they want me. I know nothing is guaranteed in pro sports, but in my time here, I've learned you earn your spot. I know my role and my spot. I want to work hard and get better and help the team more."
Update #12: Here's the AP's Larry Lage's Miller story with quotes:
Drew Miller really didn't want to leave the Detroit Red Wings to find out what he was worth on the market. Fortunately for him, the Red Wings wanted the defensive-minded, penalty-killing forward back. Miller confirmed Friday he has agreed to a three-year, $4.05 million contract to stay in Detroit.
"I'm really happy the deal got done,'' he said in an interview with The Associated Press. "I wanted to stay because I feel like I've become one of the key parts of the team.''
Detroit claimed Miller off waivers on Nov. 11, 2009, after he played 14 games for the Tampa Bay Lightning. He signed one- and two-year deals in 2010 and 2011 to remain with the Red Wings, and was thrilled they wanted him back with a longer-term contract.
"It's great to have that security,'' he said. "It won't change how hard I work, but it's just nice to know you're wanted for the next three years.''
Update #13: The Windsor Star's Bob Duff spoke to Miller about signing his new contract...
"My first choice was to stay in Detroit and not test out the market," Miller said. "I'm really thrilled I was able to start talking right away and get something done. It's ideal to get a longer contract. It shows they have faith in me. I'm excited about it."
A stellar penalty killer for the Wings this season, the 29-year-old left-winger produced 4-4-8 totals in 44 games, but it was his work when the other team had possession of the puck that made Miller such a valuable performer
"They picked me off waivers (from Tampa Bay in 2009) and gave me a role as a defensive player and a penalty killer who can move around to different lines," Miller said of Detroit. "They put confidence in me from the start. I'm confident in my game, that I can play a role that is useful to the team on a nightly basis."
"It's first class, they treat us well," Miller said of playing for the Wings. "The biggest thing is the opportunity to win every year.
"The biggest factor was the team, staying with the Red Wings, a good organization. The (22-season) playoff streak is great. When you're on the Red Wings, you know you're going to be competing for the Stanley Cup every year. We have a good group of guys. Everyone in that locker room wants to win. Everybody plays for each other."
As did the Macomb Daily's Chuck Pleiness...
"The three years gives you a little bit of stability," said Miller, who'll make $1.35 million a season. "They won't give you a three-year deal if they didn't want you for that long. It feels good to get the three years, but at the same time this is pro sports you have to work hard to earn your spot every day. I'll take the same approach I always have, the three years shows that they want you, but at the same time you need to work hard to keep it and earn something."
"I would have gone to free agency had I had to, but I wanted to talk to Detroit first and try and get something done with them," Miller continued. "They were my first choice. This is where I wanted to stay."
"I think the last time I was in a way different spot," Miller said. "This year with the lockout, it wasn't a whole year, but having that much more experience has been great for me and it shows that the Red Wings have confidence in me. I've grown over the last two years."
"The team is really coming into its own right now especially with the way things finished with year," Miller said. "Losing to Chicago was heartbreaking, but at the same time it showed everyone around the league and especially in our locker room that we have the ability to be a good team."
Miller was claimed off waivers from the Tampa Bay Lightning on Nov. 11, 2009.
"I think I found a role that I can play here and they count on me to do that night in, night out," Miller said. "I'm taking some time off now and will start working out soon. I'm doing all that relaxing kind of stuff that Michigan summers allow you to do."
And MLive's Ansar Khan:
"It's a place I didn't want to leave,'' Miller said. "My first choice was to stay with the Red Wings and not go to free agency. I'm really thrilled I was able to start talking right away and get something done. It shows they have faith in me. I'm excited about it.''
Miller's new deal has a salary-cap hit of $1.35 million.
"They won't give you a three-year deal if they didn't want you for that long,'' Miller said. "It feels good to get the three years, but at the same time this is pro sports, you have to work hard to earn your spot every day. I'll take the same approach I always have.''
The club has 20 players signed for 2013-14 for approximately $54.7 million (the salary cap is $64.3 million). That includes players who either are on a one-way contract or, in the case of Danny DeKeyser and Tomas Tatar, have a two-way deal but are expected to make the roster.
Four more spots will be taken by restricted free agents Gustav Nyquist, Joakim Andersson, Jakub Kindl and Brendan Smith.
That would put the Red Wings one over the 23-man limit, and they are still hoping to sign unrestricted free-agent forwards Daniel Cleary and Damien Brunner. Plus, they would like to add a player through free agency, which begins on July 5.
It does not appear as if forward Valtteri Filppula will be re-signed. His contract demands were too high and he struggled this season.

I completely dig that.
One down, several to go. I'm sure more time is set aside trying to secure Nike, Broooner, and Mr. Andersson for good.
Posted by SYF from hatrick's "...broken bone bone..." on 06/14/13 at 12:22 PM ET
Great re-upping.
Wings need Miller. Badly. It's a good number, and encouraging that Holland is getting him taken care of first, because it not only shows Miller he's valuable and was never really a possibility to be odd-man out, but also then sets the table for the rest of the forwards to sort out then.
Miller was born to be a Wing (despite him growing up a dirty Av fan) and I doubt he would be as effective in any other system (though I bet CHI'd like him a lot).
Posted by Primis on 06/14/13 at 12:23 PM ET
Good signing. Now I hope we don't have to read something silly like Holland resigning Cleary or something. Work on Brunner and buy out Sammy and Bert. Let Cleary and Flip walk.
Posted by Wings_in_NYC on 06/14/13 at 12:40 PM ET
As stated above, the signing WILL NOT affect Tatar, Nyquist or Andersson's status as full-time NHL forwards next season…
It MAY mean that Daniel Cleary's gone…
It MAY mean that Cory Emmerton and Patrick Eaves are redundant, and it MAY mean that Mikael Samuelsson will be bought out;
It DEFINITELY won't affect the team's desire to re-sign Brunner or pursue an unrestricted free agent forward. I'd love to see the team get Bickell, Horton's OK, too, but I think the team may end up with Stalberg as Bickell may get $3.5 million or more this summer.

I like this signing. Good depth, Great for the PK. At this point, I don't really care if Cleary is back. I don't hate the guy or anything, but IMO he's replaceable. Sammy is #1 candidate for a buyout. Buh bye. If it comes down to Emmerton or Eaves, I take Eaves. Definitely get Brunner signed. Bickell, meh. Horton, yeah (shoulder issue not withstanding). Stalberg, I'd pass. Now, Ryder? Absolutely. Clarkson? Too expensive? Maybe to small of a sample size? Not sure about him. Just my $0.02.

Miller could have gotten $2 million-plus on the open market. He's that versatile. Keep that in mind!
Posted by George Malik from South Lyon, MI on 06/14/13 at 01:40 PM ET
it may mean that Mikael Samuelsson will be bought out, and it does place Patrick Eaves and Cory Emmerton's futures with the team in danger.
Holy bleep, you love putting in a 'Wings may buy out Sammy' comment in your posts, eh? There's as good a chance the team buys out Quincey as there is that they'd buy out Sammy.
With Miller back Detroit has 12 forwards. With Nyqvist, Andersson, Brunner and Cleary they'd have 16. For sure Nyqvist and Andersson will come back.
Before the team would buy out Sammy they'd waive Eaves, or Emmerton, or buy out Tootoo. Buying out Sammy only clears one year of contract and 3 mil in total cap space. Buying out Tootoo clears 3 years of contract and 5.7 mil of cap space.
It is madness to keep suggesting the Wings waive a legit goal scorer at forward when their biggest flaw is… goal scoring.
Especially when Eaves was useless, Emmerton was useless, and waiving either or both wouldn't impact anything the team wants to do. The biggest concern with Sammy is health, and if he's hurt the team doesn't get hit by his cap number anyway. There's no upside at all to waiving the guy, especially given the other options available.
Honestly, the biggest thing that's going to impact Eaves or Emmerton (or Tootoo) is Helm's health. If he's ready to play to start the season Emmerton or Eaves will be gone, and Andersson will center the 4th line. I feel fairly confident the team will try to bring back Cleary at a reduced rate.
What we're going to have heading into next year is a whole bunch of guys fighting for not a lot of spots, and fans yowling about how much Babcock hates kids, vets or whomever they feel didn't get what the fan thought they ought to in terms of role or linemates.

Posted by HockeyinHD on 06/14/13 at 01:43 PM ET
I really do believe that about Miller's asking price.
And yes, Helm and Bertuzzi's health obviously give the Wings significant concern regarding their roster going forward. I, too, think that Eaves and Emmerton are all but gone sooner or later.

Posted by Hippy Dave from Portland by way of Detroit on 06/14/13 at 02:40 PM ET
Miller is a smart boy. I like keeping him, but it must be complimented by letting some others go. I think Cleary, Bert, and Sammy should probably be gone, but that will necessitate acquiring at least one more sizable scoring forward. After that, It's all about Helm I think. Pav, Hank, Helm, and Andersson down the middle is a good place to start.
Posted by MoreShoot on 06/14/13 at 02:40 PM ET
Oh, come on.
Posted by HockeyinHD on 06/14/13 at 01:43 PM ET
I don't see how an extra $650,000 on the open market is such a stretch.
Posted by bezukov from the kids are alright. on 06/14/13 at 02:41 PM ET
Thumbs up on this signing, I'd hate to have to deal with him killing penalties for say, Buffalo for the next three years.
Great insurance in case Helm isn't ready to go too.
Now sign Brunner and trade Flip's rights for a 7th rounder and call it a summer Kenny.

Love the signing. Emmerton's fate lies with Helm. Eaves is good for the team, good mentality, hard worker, right handed shot, good shot. Tootoo brings a lot to the table as well but his lack of use in the playoffs tell me they might consider buying him out (which I think is a TERRIBLE idea). Flip walks. Cleary, as much as the guys talk about how much a character guy in the lockerroom he is, I think will stay. I'd like to keep Brunner, but he's got some serious defensive shortcomings and he's a non-factor physically but not quick enough in short bursts to negate it like Gus does (and Gus is physical, one of the most in the playoffs actually as far as work) but he's got great top speed and good on the rush and can snipe.
Tough tough decisions for KH. Don't fuch it up.

I'd totally go listen to the Drew Miller Band.
A-bro-cadabra was one of my favorites.

Great guy. Great signing. Looks like Tick Tock decided to get the summer off on a positive note. Now just don't screw up the rest of it, Kenny.

"Signing Miller is just like signing a free agent."
That is a direct quote from Ken Hollland

Great, make him an assistant coach or trainer then…

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.

Located in Chicago, this single family residence on Lake Shore Drive opens directly onto the parkway with unobstructed views of Lake Michigan.
The house takes its form from its site; the base of the residence is rendered as a solid mass, forming a plinth that grounds the house on its prominent corner location. The plinth is carved into and becomes more open towards the lake side of the house. An interlocking volume that rises from the plinth reinforces the opening toward the lake; as the volume springs from the plinth, a double-high aperture is created that provides an expansive view from the living room towards Lake Michigan.
The split-level plan creates spaces of various scales and experiences that share in the east view towards the park and lake.
