The best part of parenting (so far)? Helping your kids overcome things you struggled with. It's at least in the top 5.
Last Saturday my daughter came home from dance class—something she normally loves—and seemed upset. A bit of prodding led to the cause: a girl in her dance class told her she was "as fat as a hippopotamus." My first reaction (note to self: probably not the right one) was to laugh out loud, given that my daughter is probably in ...Continue Reading

PR View by Diane Weiser
This year has not been kind to biopharmaceutical companies. The FDA has rejected or delayed some of the most-anticipated drugs. Safety and data concerns have decimated sales of once high-flying cholesterol, anemia and diabetes drugs. And, simultaneously, traditional pathways of communication with patients and doctors—DTC, detailing, CME—have come under greater scrutiny.
Surviving in such an environment requires an even higher level of transparency, and PR plays a vital role. In such situations, companies should recognize the different stakeholders that have an interest and tailor communication to each group:
Physicians: Doctors are, by nature, data hounds. The more detail that can be provided, the better.
Patients: PR messages should be aligned with larger marketing and advertising messages so that outreach can be consistent in tone.
Media and Investors: Fully detailing study results and regulatory actions may mean short-term pain but it builds a rep for disclosure.
Advocates: Third-party groups play an essential role in translating the news for their members. Having them prepared for news helps solidify those relationships and helps ensure continued partnership.
Still, openness is not a panacea. The development process will always be marked by failures. But full disclosure to all affected groups can limit the damage of a negative event and help build corporate rep.

Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin (October 21, 2014)
Hardcover: 336 pages
Series: Loop #1
Add on: Goodreads
Rating: 5 of 5 stars
At a school where Quantum Paradox 101 is a required course and history field trips are literal, sixteen year-old time traveler Bree Bennis excels…at screwing up.
After Bree botches a solo midterm to the 21st century by accidentally taking a boy hostage (a teensy snafu), she stands to lose her scholarship. But when Bree sneaks back to talk the kid into keeping his yap shut, she doesn't go back far enough. The boy, Finn, now three years older and hot as a solar flare, is convinced he's in love with Bree, or rather, a future version of her that doesn't think he's a complete pain in the arse. To make matters worse, she inadvertently transports him back to the 23rd century with her.
Once home, Bree discovers that a recent rash of accidents at her school are anything but accidental. Someone is attacking time travelers. As Bree and her temporal tagalong uncover seemingly unconnected clues—a broken bracelet, a missing data file, the art heist of the millennium—that lead to the person responsible, she alone has the knowledge to piece the puzzle together. Knowledge only one other person has. Her future self.
But when those closest to her become the next victims, Bree realizes the attacker is willing to do anything to stop her. In the past, present, or future.
One of the few things that I like about time traveling novels is how everything comes in full circle in the end. This can be well done and leave you with an omg reaction or they can be pretty crappy and make you go duh! I knew that. Loop was somewhere in between the omg and duh. There were confusing parts and then there were parts that you just sort of said well I thought it was them all along.
I was torn about giving Loop a 4.5 or 5 stars. I ended up giving Loop a 5 star because I loved how Bree and Finn's relationship developed. I hated how Bree treated Finn when Finn is very sweet and earnest about protecting Bree because of his promise to the Future her, even though we know there are times she doesn't deserve to be treated well. Bree knows this and yet she continues to treat Finn horribly until towards the last couple of chapters where it's a life and death situation and suddenly she sees all these pretty things about him. There were a lot of times that Finn could've gotten angry at Bree, but he didn't. He let things go her way, but probably because he knows how the story will turn out when he meets the Future Bree.
Aside from Finn, there's also a minor love triangle between Bree and Wyck and at times you're wondering does Bree like Wyck or are they just flirting for the fun of it? It's true that Bree sees Finn as annoying most of the time, but their feelings do sort of grow. One of my favorite scenes is when she stuffs him in his closet and her friends find out. The ending was a bit predictable, but twisty. I loved how everything turned out and some of the turn outs were you had that feeling you know what's going to happen, but it's nice to see how everything gets played out. This is one of the reasons why I love time traveling stories.

Biosensors Reports Financial Results for the Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2013
Feb 07, 2013, 09:30 EST
SINGAPORE, Feb. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Biosensors International Group, Ltd. ("Biosensors" or the "Company", Bloomberg: BIG SP; Reuters: BIOS.SI; SGX: B20), a developer, manufacturer and marketer of innovative medical devices, today announced financial results for its third fiscal quarter ("Q3 FY13") and nine months ended 31 December 2012 ("FY13 nine-month period").
Financial Performance and Recent Highlights:
- In January, Biosensors received CE Mark approval for its polymer-free drug-coated stent (DCS), BioFreedom™; the Company has also commenced global patient enrollment for LEADERS FREE clinical study during the quarter
- Biosensors has signed an OEM agreement for both coronary and peripheral drug-eluting balloons which will be marketed under Biosensors' brand name. These products have obtained several regulatory approvals including CE mark and will be available to Biosensors for worldwide distribution
- Recently, the Company successfully raised S$300 million (approximately US$240 million) from the issuance of 4.875% fixed rate notes due 2017 under its S$800 million Multicurrency Medium Term Note Programme
- In Q3 FY13, Interventional Cardiology Products (IVP) sales, largely comprising drug-eluting stent (DES) sales, increased by 9% year-on-year. For the FY13 nine-month period, IVP sales grew 42% compared to the same period last year
- Total revenue for the FY13 nine-month period increased 21% over the same period last year; in Q3 FY13, total revenue declined by 4% year-on-year due to lower royalty and licensing revenue
- In Q3 FY13, gross margin on total product sales was 82%, improved from previous quarter's 80% and 70% in the same quarter last year
"We have a number of important and exciting developments recently, including the CE Mark approval of our next-generation product, BioFreedom, as well as the completion of our note offering. These are significant accomplishments as we continue to grow our company," said Biosensors' CEO Dr. Jack Wang. "In spite of a weaker pricing environment and other policy adjustments in the third quarter, we were able to outgrow several of our key markets, both for the quarter and year-to-date, due to our differentiated product combined with the execution of our sales strategy. We are also pleased to see that our gross margin has further improved. We will continue to focus on our R&D efforts to further strengthen our DES and related product offerings."
For Q3 FY13, Biosensors reported total product revenue of US$67.6 million, an 8% increase over US$62.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 ("Q3 FY12"). Correspondingly, IVP sales rose to US$64.0 million, up 9% from US$58.7 million in Q3 FY12, driven by increased DES sales. Sales revenue of critical care products (CCP) was US$3.6 million, compared to US$4.0 million in the same period last year.
Licensing and royalties revenue was US$13.7 million, down 38% from US$22.0 million in Q3 FY12.
Gross margin on total product sales was 82% for the quarter, up from 70% in Q3 FY12 contributed mainly by geographical, product mix and economy of scale.
Overall operating expense as a percentage of total revenue for the quarter was 51%, compared to 45% in Q3 FY12.
In detail, the quarter's sales and marketing (S&M) expense was US$25.6 million; general and administrative (G&A) expense was US$9.8 million; research and development (R&D) expense, which included costs for new product development and testing, clinical trials, patent registration and regulatory approval, was US$5.6 million.
For the quarter, the Group's operating profit was US$27.2 million, comparable to the same period last year.
Excluding exceptional items, which comprise fair value adjustments for warrants, net profit for Q3 FY13 would have been US$24.3 million or basic earnings per share ("basic EPS") of 1.41 US cents and diluted earnings per share ("diluted EPS") of 1.39 US cents. This compares to a net profit of US$26.8 million or basic EPS of 1.63 US cents and diluted EPS of 1.60 US cents, for Q3 FY12 after excluding the one-off non-operating gain of $279.6 million on re-measurement of the Group's interest in JWMS, goodwill impairment and the fair value adjustments for warrants.
Including exceptional items, net profit for Q3 FY13 was US$24.9 million, or basic EPS of 1.45 US cents and diluted EPS of 1.43 US cents, compared to a net profit of US$291.5 million, or basic EPS of 17.78 US cents and diluted EPS of 17.42 US cents, for Q3 FY12.
Performance Summary for FY13 Nine-month Period
Total product revenue in the FY13 nine-month period was US$202.1 million, a 38% year-on-year increase from US$146.0 million reported for the fiscal nine months ended 31 December 2011 ("FY12 nine-month period"). IVP revenue rose 42% to US$191.6 million, compared to US$134.9 million for the FY12 nine-month period, primarily driven by the Company's DES sales and the consolidation of JWMS' financial results starting from Q3 FY12. CCP revenue was US$10.5 million, a 6% decrease from the US$11.2 million for the FY12 nine-month period.
Overall total operating expenses accounted for 46% of total revenue in the nine months of FY13, compared to 45% for the FY12 nine-month period. S&M expense was US$66.2 million, G&A expense was US$29.2 million, while R&D expense was US$17.5 million.
For the FY13 nine-month period, the Group's operating profit was US$94.7 million, representing a 34% year-on-year increase from the same period last year.
Financial Guidance for FY13
Year-to-date, the Company has achieved healthy growth in its product sales, in line with the original target. However, due to changes in the dynamics of the Japanese market, including regulatory imposition and new products from competitors, licensing revenue from Terumo Corporation (Terumo) for the sales of the Nobori DES was adversely affected in the first nine months of the fiscal year. As such, management is adjusting its guidance for total revenue for the fiscal year ending 31 March 2013 (FY13) to a 15% to 20% growth over FY12, driven by continued strong DES revenue growth in the key markets managed by the Company, but offset by a decrease in licensing revenue.
"We will leverage our experience in the international markets, along with the positive clinical results we achieved, to work closely with Terumo to strengthen Nobori's competitive position in Japan, aiming at increasing the product's market share and our royalty revenue. In China, we have seen that the tendering process has accelerated, which will inevitably create some short-term disruptions. However, this will remove the overhanging uncertainty on the future of this important market. At the same time, we will also introduce new products to improve our overall sales revenue in China. For the rest of the world, we continued to perform well in Europe and Asia Pacific, with strong year-on-year growth outpacing the market," said Dr. Wang. "During the quarter, we successfully raised approximately US$240 million from the bond offering. Coupled with our existing financial resources, we accumulated more than US$570 million of cash and cash equivalents. We are in various stages of discussions with several potential M&A targets, some of these discussions being near completion. We believe these possible transactions, once concluded, can further expand our product offering. Such efforts can substantially increase our shareholder value and take Biosensors to the next level."
About Biosensors International Group, Ltd
Biosensors International develops, manufactures and markets innovative medical devices for interventional cardiology and critical care procedures. We aim to improve patients' lives through pioneering medical technology that pushes forward the boundaries of innovation.
With the increasing use of the BioMatrix™ family of drug-eluting stents and the recent launch of our Axxess™ self-expanding bifurcation drug-eluting stent, we are rapidly emerging as a leader in the global coronary stent market. The development of the BioFreedom™ drug-coated stent will further reinforce our market position.
All three stents incorporate Biolimus A9™ (BA9™), an anti-restenotic drug developed and patented by Biosensors specifically for use with stents. Both the BioMatrix stent family and the Axxess stent feature a unique abluminal biodegradable polymer coating, which fully degrades into carbon dioxide and water after six to nine months as it releases BA9. The BioMatrix stent family features workhorse stent platforms for a broad range of lesions, and the Axxess stent employs a self-expanding stent platform specifically designed for treating bifurcation lesions. BioFreedom, a completely polymer‐free stent abluminally coated with BA9, is currently undergoing clinical evaluation.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli troops shot and killed a Palestinian youth on Wednesday in the occupied West Bank, Palestinian officials and the Israeli military said.
The dead teenager was named as Youssef Shawamra. His family said he was 16.
An Israeli military spokeswoman said that three Palestinian suspects were seen tampering with a security fence near the West Bank city of Hebron, and did not heed the soldiers' call on them to stop and move back.
"The soldiers began full arrest procedure. After all means were exhausted, the soldiers shot toward the main suspect, at his lower body and a hit was identified. An Israeli medical team took him to an Israeli hospital where he died of his wounds," the military spokeswoman said.
No further details were available.
Palestinian officials say Israeli forces have killed 57 Palestinians and injured almost 897 others since the resumption of U.S.-brokered peace talks last July. They have accused Israel of using heavy handed methods to stir up tensions.
Last month, Amnesty International published a report which said Israeli forces were using excessive violence in the West Bank, killing dozens of Palestinians over the past three years in what the rights group said might constitute a war crime.
Israel dismissed the report.

Liverpool did well against Ludogorets, but manager Brendan Rodgers has some big selection decisions to make before this weekend's match with Stoke, according to James Pearce.
The Echo's LFC writer says several players have put their hand up for a starting role, while question marks remain about others.
James said: "He has plenty of food for thought on the back of last night.
"Lucas Leiva did really well and I thought he was one of Liverpool's best players. He was able to offer that protecting in front of the back four and put a big shift in," said James.
"It worked well pushing Steven Gerrard forward and Kolo Toure had a nervous start but in general he did ok and was still a better bet to Lovren."
James added: "The other big decision is what does he do about the goalkeeper. Simon Mignolet's error count is stacking up, but you wonder if the time has come for Brad Jones to get that chance."

Fatty meats such as lamb cook incredibly well in Roccbox and this is a great one pan recipe to make the most of some delicious spring/summer produce…
Combine all the herb crust ingredients in a food processor with a little seasoning and blitz to combine before setting aside.
Rub the lamb rack all over with olive oil and season well. Place the lamb in a cold pan, fat side down and pop into Roccbox. You'll want to rotate the lamb 180 degrees at regular intervals to avoid the bones blackening too much – or foil these if the presentation is a massive concern!
The cooking times will vary depending on the size of the rack, but around 15 minutes should do it!
When the time is up, add the butter, garlic and rosemary to the pan and cook for a further 2 minutes. Then flip the lamb over, basting with the tasty buttery goodness and return to Roccbox for a further minute or 2 to finish cooking the fat.
Leave the lamb to rest. As above, the cooking times will vary depending on the size of the lamb, but an internal temperature of around 54 degrees at this point should be good for medium/rare.
Either using a clean pan or wiping out the lamb pan, add the bacon with a lug of olive oil and pop back in Roccbox for 3-4 minutes, moving and shaking regularly. Once this has begun to crisp, add the shallot, garlic and potatoes. Mix well and return to Roccbox for 2-3 minutes.
Add the chicken stock and the peas, stir again and return to the heat for 2 minutes to allow the stock to reduce slightly.
Remove the pan and add the diced butter, stirring thoroughly to emulsify. Fold in the gem lettuce leaves and return to Roccbox for a final 2 minutes.
Chuck in the chopped mint, check the seasoning and set to one side.
You will now need to turn Roccbox down to its lowest setting using the gas burner or reduce the size of your flame with the wood burner by reducing the amount of kindling fed into the hopper.
Brush the fat side of the lamb rack with the Dijon mustard and press the herb crust down firmly ensuring all the fat is covered.
Pop the lamb, herb crust facing up back in the pan and into the oven until the crust goes a nice toasted brown.
Remove the lamb, carve and serve!

Marvel sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of Moon Knight #3 by Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev.
Written by BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS
Pencils and Cover by ALEX MALEEV
I Am Captain America Variant Cover by COLIN WILSON
If you thought you had Marc Spector all figured out, guess again! The chess pieces of the Los Angeles underground continue to move as Moon Knight gets closer and closer to finding out the city's true kingpin of crime. But could an intervention from Bullseye throw a wrench in Spector's plans? Has Marvel's deadliest assassin returned from the grave, and if so why is he hunting Marc's closest ally?
Moon Knight #3 arrives July 20, 2011, and features at $3.99 cover price.
3 Comments
not feeling what bendis is doing with moon knight. i've understood marc has multiple personas but now bendis is writing him thinking he's cap, spidey and wolverine, just plane stupid to me. and maleev's art is nowhere near as good as when he was on daredevil or even spider woman. this character has so much potential under the right creative team. this just doesn't do it for me. oh, and my guess as to the LA kingpin, the out line at the end of issue two kinda reminds me of count neferia, which would be stupid as that character has a power set strong enough to take on two whole groups of avengers at the same time. and the way moon knight was able to stand toe to toe with hyde was also ludacrest. hyde is strong enough to hold his own with thor and hulk. he lifts 50 tons, even spidey has trouble with him. so, how can moonie hold his own with him. come to think of it bendis did the same with hyde when he showed up in his run on DD. moon knight desearves better.
I bought the first Moon Knight book back when it was part of Marvel's Epic line of graphic novels. He was never more than a Bat-Man rip-off except with slightly better art. After a while they sort of made him into a Punisher rip-off. So now they are making him a Ninja rip-off? Any reason why I should care? Meh.
Weren't the Pride the Kingpin of LA before their kids took them down? I don't remember all the intricacies of the Runaways' plot but didn't their parents run LA since the 70's? I guess there could be a new guy in charge but should he really be called a kingpin after only two or three years?

David Beckham & Harper Snuggle at a Soccer Game
David Beckham carries his newborn daughter, Harper, as he and wife Victoria watch a soccer game on Saturday (December 10) in Los Angeles.
The 36-year-old soccer star doted on Harper, 5 months, while big brother Romeo took part in a match.
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of David Beckham
David recently told ESPN that he still hasn't decided whether he'll continue to play soccer stateside after his contract expires next month.
"I wanted to end this season with a championship and we did that, then I wanted some time on this tour to be able to celebrate it," he told the network. "I haven't actually started thinking about it yet. Once I get some down time, then I'll start thinking what's going to be best. I'm going to spend some time with the family, have a good Christmas."
FYI: David is using his iCandy stroller!

From Monogamy To Open Marriage is a weekly column devoted to the discussion of pursuing sex and love outside marriage.
Right after my divorce almost 11 years ago, I classically rebounded with a man who was my proverbial defibrillator. With a huge jolt of every possible exciting thing that seemed to be missing from my life, I felt like he revived me. It wasn't just sex. He also helped me throw myself in full force back into socializing, casual (but excessive) drinking, fitness, and creativity. Add these things to a brand new relationship with two very sexually charged people and it's an inevitable roller coaster ride with a crash landing.
In the beginning, Mr. Rebound seemed to be a perfect match for me. We could not get enough of one another and every day felt like a wild and crazy adventure. Compared to the dreary drone-like state that ruled the marriage I had just ended, he made me feel like we were swinging from tree to tree together, yelling like Tarzan and beating our chests. We played in excess, spent money in excess, drank in excess and of course, had sex in excess.
While in this relationship, for the first time, I experienced regular, planned sex with strangers and multiple partners. We found couples and single men online. We flirted with people at the gym and at bars and were bold and forward with our propositions. We delighted some and offended many. We didn't care.
The seeking out and indulgence in instant gratification became a central part of our relationship, until it wasn't fun anymore. Mr. Rebound was equally impulsive when it came to his emotional reaction to our open casual sex life. Sometimes, he was thrilled and enthusiastic in finding new people and arranging pleasurable experiences. Other times, he was jealous and seething with feelings of betrayal. We'd drive home after what I thought was a fun, consensual evening while he barked out questions that confused the hell out of me:
How can you do those things with that couple?
Did you like fucking that guy more than you like fucking me?
How can you say such dirty things? (in the throws of multiple orgasms while he encouraged me)
Why do you enjoy this so much?
Why can't I be enough for you?
We weren't cut out to be a couple in an open relationship. We weren't cut out to be a couple at all, obviously, but Mr. Rebound had some serious inner dilemmas over what we were doing. We agreed from the beginning that if one of us was uncomfortable, we would refrain or leave or decline any plans or opportunities involving sex with other people. I thought that would eliminate problems. Mr. Rebound alternated between celebrating and judging my sexual desires. We still had a lot of tension and strife. Thankfully, that relationship only lasted 10 months.
Years later, when my husband first approached the subject of opening our marriage, I was hesitant. He knew my experience with Mr. Rebound convinced me that sexual indulgence with others was a surefire way to sabotage a relationship and I might be hesitant for that reason. Thoughts of the fun we could have together excited me, but I was so afraid of the risk. We dropped the subject, promising to discuss it again in the near future.
Months later, he asked me if I'd consider reading a book that he had heard about. Three days later, I opened the mail and there was a package with the book Sex At Dawn inside. This book went into depth about the evolution of monogamy in humans and demonstrated fairly good reasons that proved monogamy might not be natural. Before I finished the 5th chapter, I made my decision. While curled up in his arm one night I said "Let's do it. Let's try something."
We discussed my past reluctance and I told him that I believed that my confusing, terrible experience with Mr. Rebound would not be what would happen to us. We could enter into this carefully and slowly. We could promise to communicate all feelings and apprehensions without letting every twinge of discomfort rule every decision. We were in no hurry; we would be loving and supportive and in favor of mutual pleasure. Could it be that simple?
Spoiler alert: No.

Brian Douglas Morrison
Interpreter's Institute, Munich (SDI), 1963, postgraduate
Brian D. Morrison was born in 1934 as the second son of the Glasgow paint and colour manufacturer Douglas L. Morrison. He first studied interior design at the Royal College of Arts and Crafts in London, later, foreign languages at the Interpreter's Institute in Munich. He finally became independent as a translator in the special domain of art and photography. First in Germany then in southern France from 1984 onwards. Brian then progressively found more freedom for his abstract creations in the light of Hérault until it became full time in 2003.
Artist's Statement
At one moment or other, artists are expected to 'state' something about their oeuvres. Increasingly popular today in contemporary galleries, such as Saatchi's, is a category of artist who insists on subjecting the observer to a shock. Doubtless this follows current marketing strategy, the artist encouraged to attract attention at all costs. Frankly, I decided to pursue a kind of art where the aesthetic aspect has not been abandoned for the sake of novelty at all costs.
With respect to the subjects presented in my Vectorial and Capillary collections, people have asked whether they are meant to be totally abstract or perhaps still figurative in some cases. It is up to the observer to decide whether he or she detects anything recognizable or not. Do not be misled by any title; this may just have served the artist as a mnemonic aid when cataloguing his works.

J.J. Hardy's Home Runs Have Been Incredibly Lucky So Far This Year
Anytime a player has a multi-home run game, it's difficult to criticize his performance. However, that's exactly what I'm about to do to Baltimore Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy.
Hardy hit two home runs on Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. Orioles' fans -- and those who used him for daily fantasy purposes -- were ecstatic with the performance, regardless of the nature in which the homers left the yard.
Let's take a gander at each dinger. (Note, all data is taken from ESPN's Home Run Tracker.)
Hardy's First Home Run
Fenway's right-field line suits J.J. Hardy. Watch: https://t.co/dOyBPqutKQ #Birdland pic.twitter.com/bN8HBbh9ht
— Baltimore Orioles (@Orioles) April 13, 2016
Hardy's first home run was a line drive down the right field line that had an apex (the highest point the ball reached in flight above the ground) of 56 feet. There have only been eight home runs hit this season with a lower apex.
Not only was the apex low, but also the speed of the ball off of the bat was low as well. With a speed of just 95.5 miles per hour, Hardy's first home run had the third-slowest speed of any home run hit this season. These two factors helped lead to a True Distance of 327 feet for Hardy's first home run. In addition to this being the shortest distance any home run has been hit this season, it also would have only been a home run in two other stadiums.
In other words, Hardy's line drive would not have resulted in a home run in 27 other parks. This makes sense as to why it is categorized as a "Just Enough" home run, meaning it barely made it over the fence.
It appears as though Hardy got "lucky" in this situation, but how does round-tripper number two stack up?
Hardy's Second Home Run
Hardy's second home run was more the stereotypical shot in that it was hit higher in the air, but that's about the only way it resembled anything similar to a home run. This ball had an apex of 92 feet, which so far this season, is about average for home runs.
Hit off of the handle of the bat, again down the right field line, the speed off of the bat was just 92.0 miles per hour, which ranks dead last so far this season. So, out of the more than 230 home runs that have been hit this season, both of Hardy's home runs rank in the bottom three for speed off of the bat.
Now comes the distance. Hardy's second home run had a True Distance of 339 feet. While it did go further than his first four-bagger, it still ranks as the second-shortest long-ball hit this season. Similar to his first home run, this too would have only left the yard in two other stadiums. Not surprisingly, it also received a "Just Enough" designation.
J.J. Hardy's second HR was calculated at 339 feet. He has the two shortest home runs this season, both today. pic.twitter.com/zf05Nilj6l
— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) April 13, 2016
It's clear that Hardy got lucky with both of his taters, but just for fun, let's compare both of his jacks to one that pitchers have hit this season.
Stacking up to the "Competition"
Three pitchers have hit home runs so far in 2016, Kenta Maeda, Madison Bumgarner, and Jake Arrieta with one each, and these three long-balls all have something in common when comparing them to Hardy's.
|Speed of bat
|True Distance
|# of Parks
|Hardy HR 1
|Hardy HR 2
Each pitcher home run was hit harder and traveled farther than Hardy's, and each would have been a home run in the majority of stadiums. The "PL" designation stands for a "Plenty" home run, meaning it was more than a "Just Enough," but not quite a "No Doubt" home run, which are defined as clearing the fence by at least 20 vertical feet, in addition to landing at least 50 feet past the fence.
Enough embarrassment for Hardy -- let's get to some analysis.
Hardy hit eight home runs last season and three of them were classified as "Just Enough," four were "Plenty," and one was a "No Doubt." This breakdown is virtually the same for his 2014 season, with an additional "Plenty" added in since he hit nine home runs that season.
Our models projected Hardy to hit nine home runs at the beginning of the season, but with two already out of the way of the "lucky" variety, odds are he has more than just one more wall-scraper left in his bat, which means he should break double-digit home runs for the first time since 2013.
This isn't enough to justify acquiring Hardy in fantasy, but rather something to be wary of in case he hits a few more before the All-Star break and has inflated totals.

I haven't done anything with this mostly because I'm sick of showing my favorite card of my favorite player.
How's that for being messed up?
But this blog has been going for awhile and there are a number of cards that I've shown too much, just like a favorite song played too often. I need something new, or at least different, to show off.
Babbling about favorite Ron Cey cards is hardly new, but I made an effort to find 10 favorites, while avoiding my absolute favorite. You will not see the 1975 Topps Ron Cey card in this list (nor will I cheat and show the 1975 Topps mini Cey). Instead, let's see 10 Cey cards that I have only half beaten into the ground already.
No particular order here, because unless it's the '75 Cey, all of the Cey cards are my favorites and I can't possibly rank them. They're my children!
1976 Topps: I'm projecting here, but I've always thought Cey appeared to be in an absolute rage in this photo, and he had torn a piece of the railing from the seats behind him, losing his helmet in the process, and was now going to use it as a bat. Check out those forearms.
1979 Topps: A rather original near-check-swing action shot for its time. The best part, though, may be the NBC peacock camera in the background that tells you this is a "Game of the Week"! Somewhere in that stadium is Joe Garagiola and Tony Kubek!
2016 Baseball Card Breakdown: OK, some would disqualify this because it wasn't made by a licensed, national card company. But the handiwork is indisputable. And Gavin's attention to detail, combined with Cey's willingness to sign this card, gets it on the list. There is a paltry representation of Cey's contribution to the 1981 World Series on cardboard. It's about damn time.
1981 Fleer Star Stickers: Sadly, there does not appear to be any cards of Cey running the bases, which is how he best demonstrated the reasons for his "Penguin" nickname. But this photo of Cey starting out of the box after connecting gives a glimpse of the squat trot gearing up.
2002 Topps Stadium Club World Champions relic: I own around seven or eight relics of Cey. Many of them, frankly, are not well-designed. This one is. It looks good, it has a theme. Cey's picture seems to match with the year being represented. Sure, there's mention that this is a "regular season" bat relic, not from the postseason, but at least Topps is being forthcoming.
1975 Hostess: I may have banned myself from showing the '75 Topps card, but that doesn't mean I can't show other '75 stuff! This is Cey's first Hostess card. It represents a watershed moment for him, as well as the Dodgers as the photo was taken in 1974. I don't know why Hostess didn't narrow it down from "Infield". He played nothing but third base his whole career until he got to Oakland.
1978 Topps (TTM auto): The first Ron Cey card that I received autographed through the mail. Yup, it still makes me smile.
1983 Donruss Action All-Stars: The early '80s saw an emergence of oddball issues as Topps, Donruss and Fleer sought a competitive advantage. These postcard-sized Action All-Stars certainly were different at the time, and pretty cool. It was one of the first tributes to the 1955/56 Topps issues that I ever saw.
And check out all those stats on the back!!
2001 Upper Deck Decade '70s: The one drawback about retro cards is that you can tell from the way the card was made, or the photo, that the maker has no appreciation for that time period. The maker never saw the player, has no concept of how they looked on the field, what they represented. This card gets it right. This is how I remember Cey at-bat. The proper stance, the proper arm positioning, the proper hair-length.
1974 Topps: Ron Cey's first solo card. It's pretty fine, despite the shadows obscuring just about everything. This card was ultra cool when it came out. Also, there is an underappreciated aspect of cards from this era that is lost in the obsession with every card being a graded 10. I own multiple versions of this card. Each one is cut slightly differently. So each one has a personality distinct from the other '74 Ceys. I like that. And it's why I don't mind obtaining more of this card.
So that's 10 Cey favorites. I could have easily picked 10 other cards and call them my 10 Cey favorites.
Oh, one more thing.

William Augustus Drennan
I intend to publish the diarys and letters of Judge W.A. Drennan of Holmes County, Miss. He was the son of William Hunter Drennan and Elizabeth Boggs Devlin of Abbeville, Laurens Co. S.C. Judge Drennan [b.1836] left Holmes County, I believe in the late 19th century and I think moved to California. His parents, sisters, and brother are buried in that county. I would like to have any additional data on Judge Drennan and his Drennan ancestors. This was a remarkable person, and although I am in no way related, I feel his story should be made available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

China's first airliner C919 made by COMAC company passed high speed test on the runway.
As it was noted, these tests are the last before the test flight of the liner. COMAC plans to complete all tests in 2017, and then put the aircraft into operation.
Editor-in-chief of Aerospace Knowledge magazine Wang Yanan said that high-speed taxiing tests are usually conducted at speeds of 230 to 260 kph (143-161 mph – RRT), with the front landing gear slightly lifted to simulate takeoff.
"It is hard to evaluate the intervals between each high-speed taxiing tests. It could be two to three days or one week. It could be very fast if everything went right and no big technical faults occurred," Wang said. "Usually, every latter high-speed test will be conducted at a faster speed than the previous one, and more similar to the real condition before takeoff."
C919 is the first Chinese airliner, which will accommodate 168 economy class seats. Its range is up to 5,500 kilometers (approx. 3,400 miles – RRT).
Before the production even started, COMAC already received orders for 517 C919 planes from 21 customers.

An armed gang dressed as police officers stole £32million of diamonds in a daring raid at an international airport.
The eight masked robbers cut their way through a perimeter fence before racing up in cars with blue lights flashing to a Swiss passenger jet where the gems were being loaded by guards.
They trained the infra-red sights of their machine guns on the terrified security staff before snatching the diamonds.
The gang fled with 120 small parcels containing the jewels after the raid at Brussels airport.
A Belgian police source said: "This was undoubtedly a highly professional job.
"The way the gang was equipped and the way they operated suggest a meticulously planned raid."
Airport spokesman Jan Van Der Crujsse added: "No shots were fired during the attack, which was over within three minutes."
The Helvetic Airways plane bound for Zurich was packed with passengers and had been minutes away from take-off when the drama began.
The flight was cancelled and several witnesses were treated for shock.
The jewels were being transported from the Belgian city of Antwerp, the world's diamond capital, in a Brinks security van.
They were destined for one of Zurich's high security vaults.
There was fury among diamond traders over how a gang was allowed to breach the heavy security of an international airport to launch the raid.
Caroline De Wolf, of the Antwerp World Diamond Centre, said: "What we are talking about is obviously a gigantic sum.
"What concerns us is that a car could so easily access the airport tarmac."
The gang arrived at the airport in a Mercedes van and an Audi saloon.
The van was later found burned out and abandoned near the scene.
Mr Van Der Crujsse could not explain how the raiders managed to break in unnoticed to launch their audacious heist yesterday.
But he added: "We abide by the most stringent rules."
Anja Bijnens of the Brussels prosecutors' office said the gang "wore outfits which resembled dark police clothing".
A police spokesman said it was the fifth time that there had been a runway security breach at the airport in the past 18 months.
Prosecutors have launched a judicial inquiry.
The raid is the latest in a string of daring robberies over the years.
In 2003, thieves pulled off the "heist of the decade" when they stole precious stones and gold worth £64million from the Antwerp Diamond Centre.
The gang plundered 123 of 160 vaults, reportedly stopping only because they could not carry any more gems.
Star Trek director JJ Abrams is planning a movie about the brazen security breach.
In 2005 at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, £76million worth of diamonds - the largest haul ever recorded - was stolen from a truck heading for a plane to Antwerp.
In Britain, gems worth £40million were nicked in a bold daylight robbery from Graff Diamonds in Mayfair, London.
The crooks were captured on CCTV as they entered the exclusive store.
Four men have since been jailed, but none of the jewellery has been recovered.
The country's second biggest diamond jewellery robbery, worth £23million, also took place at Graff.
An Eastern European criminal gang used a revolver to threaten staff before escaping on a scooter in the 2003 theft.
In 2008, armed with a hand grenade and a gun, robbers stole £76million worth of jewels from Paris's Harry Winston store.

Amazing what can be accomplished with a few dollars and a lot of talent."Russell Simmons
New york, NY (PRWEB) October 22, 2013
"L.A. Superheroes" is a collection of real-life stories, witnessed firsthand, by the struggling artists that would go on to put this project together. Life in L.A. can be brutally difficult, especially if you are insistent on not "selling out"; and if you are an immigrant, things can get really complicated. Yelena is struggling to get by as an aging actress/model and immigrant, in a tough-as-nails business. When she is forced to operate outside the law to obtain her green card, she is faced with the consequences and realizes that the thing she values even more than her career is her integrity. Her only true friend in the city is Auto, a misfit pizza guy/musician, who steps up possibly risking his own life, without expecting anything in return. In the end Yelena discovers that true L.A. Superheroes aren't necessarily the most powerful and definitely aren't manufactured on a sound stage.
Where: Quad Cinema - 34 W. 13th Str, between 5th & 6th Ave (Avenue of the Americas)
Screenings: 5 showings/day - 1:10 - 3:20 - 5:30 - 7:30 - 9:35
Tickets: Advance Tickets Call 777-FILM (3636) or visit MOVIETICKETS.COM
A percentage of the revenue from L.A. Superheroes will go to help struggling immigrants through St. James ESL http://www.stjames-cathedral.org/esl/ and CHIRLA http://www.chirla.org/
In June 2013, 68 senators voted to pass comprehensive immigration reform bill, which is now scheduled to go before the GOP-controlled House. Immigration has been a hot topic within the media and the public for some time, however, many Americans don't realize the path to legal status may take decades and that many immigrants have very diverse backgrounds and don't always fit into stereotypes society has created.
"I was a model who had a very promising carrier ahead but couldn't quite utilize it fully due to immigration problems that haunted me for almost twenty years," says Popovic. "Only now can I find the humor behind the situations and struggles I experienced. This movie is a labor of love, and most importantly we didn't have to wait for anyone. Things happened organically and anyone who is an actor, director, musician or a writer in this town knows that you can wait for 'the phone call' or 'the money' for a lifetime and most of the time it doesn't happened. "Nowa-days, one can, and often has to, do it yourself," comments Alex Zisiades, who composed the music for the film, also contributed to the script and the character of Auto is based on him.
Yelena Popovic & Alexandros Potter founded Simeon Entertainment in 2008 with the intention of developing, producing and distributing feature films. Today, Simeon Entertainment is proud to be theatrically distributing "L.A. SUPERHEROES," a feature film, which they developed, directed, produced and fully financed.
