Can Troy Brouwer play his game for four seasons?
Ryan Pike
July 22 2016 11:00AM
I'll be honest: when the Calgary Flames announced that they had signed Troy Brouwer to a four-year contract I didn't really see a lot of the downsides. In fact, my first reaction was, "Well, that makes sense."
You see, the Flames likely feel this signing solves two big problems: they were super-thin on their right side, and they were easy to play against. When I use the term "easy to play against," I refer you to the many games where Johnny Gaudreau was slashed on the wrists or hands (and the games he missed late in the season due to those slashes). Teams felt they could get away with it and let's be honest, they largely did; the Flames didn't have enough scoring depth to make them think twice (and their power-play was bad enough that they probably weren't worried abut taking slashing minors).
But let's not mince words: four years is a long time, and $4.5 million per season is pretty pricey. Once the Gaudreau and Sean Monahan extensions get done, he'll likely be the third-richest forward contract on the team – even if you factor in Sam Bennett's eventual extension. What has to happen to make that contract worthwhile?
Here's the big question: since Brouwer will be the third-highest-paid forward for the entirety of his contract, is it unreasonable to expect him to be the third-highest-scoring forward? Given the financial commitment and term given to him, I'm not sure if it's an unreasonable bar for him to clear – though it's unclear if it's likely to happen.
For the sake of argument, and after a few back-and-forth e-mail exchanges with Ari debating this, let us set the bar thusly: four seasons of 40 points and 50% Corsi For. Heck, I'll go a bit lower: four seasons in which he averages 40 points, and in which he doesn't cause a significant possession drain on his teammates. For context, pro-rating Brouwer's last four seasons of production gives you 58, 43, 43 and 39 points – if you remove the pro-rated lockout season of 58, 40 points is a reasonable average.
Given the expectation is he'll be playing primarily with Gaudreau and Monahan, and probably getting a lot of offensive zone starts in that role, a slight production spike probably isn't out of the realm of possibility. And new systems from a new coaching staff could conceivably result in a team-wide bump in possession stats (and improve power-play production), so I'm not about to suggest that offensive production or puck possession are necessarily the big challenges here.
Given the role that Brouwer is likely to play and the style of game that brought him to the proverbial dance, the biggest challenge for him may be longevity.
For context, I refer to a superb piece by MoneyPuck over at Hockey-Graphs looking at how physical players age from last fall.
Running a regression, I found that for the entire population, Total Hits per game for the 25 and 26 year-old season was a statistically significant variable when predicting games played from ages 27 on wards (r2 0.07, p-value 2.6-10)
Here are Brouwer's hitting statistics from his 24-year-old season (2009-10) through to his 30-year-old season (2015-16):
Brouwer's hitting statistics from his 25 and 26-year-old seasons (2010-11 and 2011-12) put him in the "high" frequency category. The Hockey-Graphs analysis indicated that players in that frequency group averaged 135 games played from age 27 onwards. Brouwer is already at 293. Similarly, their modelling estimated only about 20% of medium-frequency players and fewer than that (eyeballed at around 12 or 15%) of the high-frequency group make it to his 31-year-old season – which Brouwer will begin in October. Even fewer made it to age 32 in the league and almost nobody made it to age 34 (which would be the final year of his contact).
The reason? Physical play takes its toll on a body, and when your calling card is having your body crash into others (and the boards), it's probably only a matter of time before (a) a big injury takes you out of the game or (b) a bunch of small bumps and bruises accumulate to limit your effectiveness to the point where you slide out of the lineup. Based on the Hockey-Graphs analysis, Brouwer seems like a statistical outlier so far.
Here's the best-case scenario: Brouwer plays his crash-and-bang style with the Gaudreaus and Monahans for four seasons. He scores many points. He stays healthy. He's no more of a possession drag than he was in Washington or St. Louis. However, players that rely on his style of game typically don't maintain a high level of play forever, so a reasonable expectation is probably for him to hold up for a season or two before his play noticeably degrades.
But here's the dilemma facing Brouwer, and the thing that makes his signing risky as heck (for both sides): if he's going to last four seasons without his play falling off a cliff, he's going to need to ease off the physicality somewhat. But the entire reason he's been effective in the NHL so far (and the thing that made him attractive to the Flames) is his physicality. So he's damned if he does and he's damned if he doesn't.
Given his expected deployments and linemates, it's entirely possible that Brouwer's offensive production can remain fairly solid for a couple of seasons. But whichever way you slice it and even if you try to give the signing as many benefits of the doubt as you can, given his playing style and the expected drop-off physical players usually see, it's going to be really tough for him to justify his cap hit over four seasons.

@The Fall
Troy seems to know how to stay healthy... Troy can show Ferland and Bennett how to play physical and not get banged up: that has value.
Do you have any evidence at all that "not getting injured" is not only a talent, but a talent that can be taught to other players?

Speaking of staying healthy.
Someone with his record of 82 game seasons AND playoff games is huge. How much bad money do they play Backlund to be injured? How much does it throw the game plan off when injuries force call ups of core players? Troy seems to know how to stay healthy: that has value.

Expansion draft bait exhibit A "Mr Brouwar"...
I wonder if Brouwer might be the guy made available in the second round of expansion if and when it happens.
My great concern is that we might be talking about Brouwer in two years the way we are speaking of Wideman today.
Bottom line is Brouwer not only brings consistency in scoring 15-20 goals, but also has a lot of intangibles that are invaluable to the game and team. Of course most will look solely at his stats and that's a shame. I realize at his age both his stats and performance will only trend down, but he's still in tremendous shape and if we can get the current Brouwer for the next 2-3 years and his character and leadership for his last year to pass the torch, then I for one still don't mind the signing. You need guys like Brouwer for young upcoming teams to show them what being a professional and hard work is all about especially in the playoffs. After all, if the Flames didn't jump on him, I would bet my last dollar a few other teams would of signed him for the same deal in a heart beat.

The Players Tribune has first hand articles on injury, prevention, and rehab. It's a good read. Below is an article on injury and role models which seems relevant.
Can't say there is a stat line which correlates games played with toughness or fortitude. But there are players who seem to avoid injuries better than others. Is that a skill or is that luck, or is it genetics? Perhaps all of it. I know there are huge gains being made in sports psychology that place definable metics on 'resiliency'.
But back to your question: no. I have no direct evidence. But seeing guys play hard minutes through countless seasons and playoff runs leads me to believe that metrics are out there still.

What's with all the hate for Brouwer? FFS
July 22 2016, 11:33AM
What percentage of UFA deals signed from July 1-7 will not look like money poorly spent when it comes to the last few years of the deals? It's the nature of the beast.
Any team could go out and acquire younger players that will still be performing when their deals expire, but what do you have to give up to acquire those players? What did VAN and EDM have to give up to get Gudbranson and Larsson?
The UFA pool is not cheap, but all teams dip into that pool to fill out needs from time to time.
Iggy changed his style as he aged: dropped weight as well. I believe smart players find ways to stay relevant in the game. Question is: is Troy Brouwer a smart player. Given his history of almost never missing a game, I would say 'yes'.
July 22 2016, 01:46PM
All these naysayers on FN about Brouwer and he hasn't even had a practise session with his new team...
If Brouwer is done in 2 years, I guess the Oilers will look forward to one good year of Lucic...in year two he will suffer a season long injury....
Predicting the career length of a hockey player is pretty dicey to say the least. Looking forward to 4 good years from the body bangers!
..and our man Tkachuk is training with Mr Roberts this summer!
Man, can't wait till Tkachuck is 34 and really hitting his stride.
July 22 2016, 11:38AM
I think the most likely situation is that he's a boon this season. He plays his game, which will be undeniably beneficial to this team. Next year, he slides a little, maybe an injury takes him out of the lineup for a bit, something like that. Overall though he remains a positive impact player for 2 years. I also expect him to have a major positive effect on the development of Bennett, Ferland and Tkachuk, which is worth something in its own right.
Year three, he's ageing. He gets the boot to the third line and plays a 'veteran role'. He's not awful, but he's definitely overpaid. He continues mentoring kids and is beneficial in that capacity until the end of his contract. Year four he's basically Stajan.
If the intangibles are there and he has the effect management seems to think he will on the younger guys, I say Calgary comes out on top here. As much as pissing away money in years three and four will hurt.

I don't hate Brouwer but I do question what he will be in 2,3 seasons. Hopefully he remains productive and healthy for all 4 seasons and is worth every penny the Flames are paying him. However I don't have to drink the kool aid and believe he is going to lead us to the promised land or that he will be healthy for the rest of his career. (this kind of blind belief sounds to much like fans from another organization during the off season)
Two years ago I got caught up in the height of the season only to be disappointed last year. My approach to this season and the additions the Flames make with a questioning eye; not blind faith.

@ Kent Wilson
I think sometimes having to quantify every pro and con a person can contribute to an environment as a metric that fits into your spread sheet misses the point. I enjoy your work and have enjoyed it for some time. However, let me propose a scenario.
I may not be in a high pressure environment like a pro athlete everyday but I have been on job sites where our lives are in danger from time to time. So what do you do with the new guy? You put him next to the old journeyman who has been around, and gone home safe for a long time. You teach him little tricks and habits that don't come in the safety manual or from school but from being on the job. The value of the school of hard knocks if you will. You, how did you put it " teach him the talent of not getting injured" and make sure he/she goes home every night.
Also, isn't that what a strength and conditioning coach does? Teaches you how to care for and maintain your body so it is less likely to get hurt or injured. Thereby teaching you how to not get hurt. Would you now say the entire occupation and science should have to justify itself somehow to fit your spreadsheet? Everyone knows there is a benefit from taking care of your body. So, If someone with a keniseology degree has useful information and can tell Ferland what he can and should do to stay fit and healthy how much more could a Troy Brouwer help Ferland use that knowledge and execute it on the ice. What "tricks and habits" does he have from years of service in a profession you and I will never experience first hand. Someone mentioned Gary Roberts. I believe this combination of schoolling and study of the body in motion and the lifetime of playing pro hockey at the highest level, aaaaand the recovery of a major injury to come back and play at the highest level is what makes him so good and sought after for the work he does. Can I put that in a spread sheet as "proof" for you I has merit? No. Do I have to? No. Just look at all the top end athletes that train with him and how they achieve their goals time after time after time.
I would ask you this instead. Rather than have "the fall" produce evidence that this whole not getting hurt is a talent that can be taught stuff. How about you produce articles and studies that suggest mentorship is not a positive endeavour to pursue. Line up Fortune 500 companies that believe succession planning is a waste of time. Because that's what this all is. Teaching and showing someone how to be a pro and stay safe on the job is mentorship and good succession planning. Especially when those new workers on the job go by the names Sam and Mattthew.
His conditioning is very good, he's very durable. He's only missed 1 regular season game in the past five seasons. Depends on if he gets injured, I could see him giving us 40 points or so the next couple of seasons. Let's see if he can keep it up in the last two seasons, if he starts getting hurt or drops off a cliff that's a big concern. If he gives us 15-20 goals, he replaces Colborne's production. He's going to be good on the pp and pk and he will make room for Monahan and Gaudreau.

How to make Caramel Stuffed Peanut Butter Blondies
Yield: 9 larger bars or 16 smaller bars
Prep Time: 2 hours and 25 minutes
Cook: 35 minutes
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
25 soft caramel candies, unwrapped (a little under 7 ounces)
3 tablespoons heavy cream
Optional Chocolate Drizzle: 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil, making sure to leave some overhang for easy removal. Set aside.
Add the melted butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar to a large mixing bowl and mix until well combined. Add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix together until fully combined. Then, mix in the flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Scoop half of the blondie mixture into the prepared baking pan (set the other half aside) and press it down into an even layer. Bake at 350°F for 12-13 minutes or until the top is set. Remove from the oven and set aside while you make the caramel filling.
Add the unwrapped caramel candies and combine them with the heavy cream in a separate microwave safe bowl and microwave in 20-30 second increments, making sure to stir well after each increment, until the mixture is melted and smooth. Pour the caramel over the bottom half of the blondie mixture that you just baked, making sure to leave about 1/2″ of each side uncovered. Top the other half of the peanut butter blondie mixture on top of the caramel by taking pieces, flattening them a little with your hands, and gently laying it over the caramel. You want to make sure the pieces are overlapping and completely covering the caramel.
Bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes or until the top is set and lightly browned. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for at least 2-3 hours before cutting into the bars.
If adding the chocolate drizzle, add 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 20-30 second increments, stirring well after each increment, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Drizzle the bars with the melted chocolate as desired.
Prep time also includes cooling time.

How to make Whipped Cinnamon Pumpkin Butter
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook: 10 minutes
If you use fresh pumpkin puree, make sure it's not too watery. If it has a lot of extra moisture, wrap in cheesecloth and squeeze out the excess water.
2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
Pinch salt
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons pure pumpkin puree
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Serve or store in the fridge in an airtight container. Bring to room temperature before using.
How to make Ultimate Muffins
Yield: 12 muffins
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes
Buttermilk is the best for making ultra moist and flavorful muffins. However, you can also use whole milk.
2 cups (9 ounces or 254 grams) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup buttermilk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (if desired)
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners or coat with nonstick cooking spray (or both).
In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
In a liquid measuring cup beat together the buttermilk, butter, egg, and vanilla. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir JUST until combined, do not overmix. Divide evenly among the muffin tin cups.
Bake for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 400°F (don't forget this!!). Continue baking until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about another 12 minutes.
Add about 1 cup chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, candy, etc.
For fruit muffins:
1 1/2 cups fruit (such as berries, apples, etc.), finely chopped and well drained
If using fruit, add in with the dry ingredients to make sure the fruit stays evenly distributed and doesn't sink to the bottom.
Banana muffins:
3/4 cup mashed overripe banana (from about 2 small bananas)
Add in with the wet ingredients.
1/2 cup peanut butter, Nutella, Biscoff, etc.
Add with the wet ingredients.

1 large lemon, zested
Add the poppy seeds with the dry ingredients and the lemon zest with the wet ingredients.
Cocoa Muffins
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
Add in the cocoa with the other dry ingredients and increase the melted butter to 6 tablespoons and increase the buttermilk to 1 1/2 cups.
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons butter, melted
Combine the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. Dip the cooled muffins in the butter then in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
How to make Slow Cooker Beer Pulled Pork
Yield: 8 servings
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook: 6 hours 20 minutes
1 (3.5 pound) boneless pork butt roast
1 large onion, sliced
12 ounces beer, such as a dark ale
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For BBQ Sandwiches:
2 cups barbecue sauce, plus more for serving
Sandwich or slider buns
Toppings of your choice such as onions, pickles
Place the roast and onion in a 3 1/2 to 4 quart slow cooker. Pour in the beer. Add the soy sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook on low for about 6 hours, or until fork tender. Time will vary by slow cooker.
Transfer the meat to a cutting board. Using two forks, pull the meat apart into shreds, discarding any fat. Strain the onions, reserving 1 cup of the liquid. Return the shredded pork, onions, and reserved liquid to the slow cooker. Serve or make BBQ sandwiches.
For BBQ Sandwiches:
Stir in the barbecue sauce. Cover and cook on low for 15 minutes, or until heated through.
Serve on sandwiches between buns with toppings of your choice.
How to make Crispy Chicken Thighs
Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes
Cast iron pans get very hot which makes them great for crisping chicken skin, but also means they tend to smoke. Make sure you turn your vent hood on and, if possible, open a window. Also, chicken thighs can vary greatly in size. You may need to shave the cooking times slightly for really small thighs, and increase the cooking times for larger thighs.
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
6 to 8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, lemon zest (reserve the juice), and rosemary in a small bowl. Sprinkle mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken thighs.
Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking. Place the chicken thighs, skin side down, and cook for 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-high and continue cooking with the skin side down until the fat renders and it is golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for another 6 minutes. Flip the chicken so the skin side is facing up and cooking until the skin is crisp and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers at least 165°F, about another 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes. Squeeze the lemon juice over the chicken before serving.
How to make Vegan Ice Cream
Yield: About 1 quart
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes
2 (13.5 ounce) cans full-fat coconut milk, chilled
3/4 cup granulated sugar, raw sugar, or sugar substitute (OR about 1/2 cup agave syrup or 1/2 cup honey)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract OR 1 vanilla bean pod, seeded
Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed for 30 seconds.
Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturers' directions, about 25 minutes or until the mixture has increased in volume and resembles soft-serve ice cream. Serve immediately or for a firmer texture, remove to an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed against the surface, and freeze for at least 1 hour.

Film Review: Rotating Perspectives Converge in 'Train Station'Submitted by PatrickMcD on February 15, 2017 - 1:07pm
Rating: 4.5/5.0
CHICAGO – Taking on the variance of choice in a very unique and compelling way, "Train Station" was interpreted through 40 filmmakers in 25 countries, following a character – The Person in Brown – in a singular story that flexes and changes as the role is exposed. Chicago was one of those filming locations, and "Train Station" will screen here at the Music Box Theatre on Wednesday, February 15, 2017.

DescriptionSocial media is fundamentally changing the way travellers and tourists search, find, read and trust, as well as collaboratively produce information about tourism suppliers and tourism destinations. Presenting cutting-edge theory, research and case studies investigating Web 2.0 applications and tools that transform the role and behaviour of the new generation of travellers, this book also examines the ways in which tourism organisations reengineer and implement their business models and operations, such as new service development, marketing, networking and knowledge management. Written by an international group of researchers widely known for their expertise in the field of the Internet and tourism, chapters include applications and case studies in various travel, tourism and leisure sectors.

MONEY TALKS. Let's get this right, once and for all. "Sawbuck" is the Yankee term for a tenner. But the local lingo makes a score: pounds 20. Pony: pounds 25. Nifty: pounds 50 (aka: "Hawaii" as in Hawaii Five-0). Large'un (Eurotrash trying to talk like the locals pronounce it "L'argent", capisci?): pounds 100. Monkey: pounds 500. Bag of Sand: pounds 1,000. Archer: pounds 2,000. So what's a giraffe then? A spotty creature with a long neck...
OVERHEARD AT a City dinner - John Redwood extolling the virtues of dealing with non-European states: "You don't have to stick to just one woman when you can have lots of friends..." Is there something Mrs Vulcan Foundling needs to know? These people need a spin-doctor - and not Alan Duncan. Little Willie's Pet Rock was spotted ligging at the Sultans of Spin party in Westminster this week, presumably trying to pick up a few tips. And brother, he needs them. Here's one: no more luminous pink ties, Mr Duncan - not your colour, surely, darling.
BLACK POLO NECKS? So Dangerman, so early 1960s, very Patrick McGoohan. And as best boy Robbie Williams and go-go girl Natalie Imbruglia (pictured) both like 'em, Pandora says "Si".
PANDORAPHILES MAY recall the recent item about Tipper Gore's involvement with the Parents' Music Resource Centre; the wannabe First Lady spent much of the Eighties, in her role as leader of the peculiar pressure group, listening to dodgy rock choons in a futile attempt to censor supposedly racy references and "backwards messages". The disclosure has prompted the guy who holds most of Pandora's heart - yeah, her bookie - to offer opening odds on the 2000 presidential race. Here's the SP: Al Gore will beat Bill Bradley to the democratic nomination by a country mile ("No one south of New York knows who Bradley is") so Mr Tipper is 7-1. Texan Governor George W Bush currently looks a cert to win the Republican slot and is available as 9-5 favourite should he go head-to-head with Gore. Expect those odds to shorten if General Colin Powell is Bush's running mate: "Clinton will deliver California for Gore, but it isn't enough," the oddsmaker says. "Gore needs a personality transplant. Bush and Powell is a very strong ticket, they'll beat the Democrats like a rented mule." Outside bets: Liddy Dole, last seen trying to buy the Thatcher handbag, is 1,000-1; Pat Buchanan: 1m-1; and Dan Quayle: "Any odds you like. The guy couldn't spell `cat' if you gave him a `c' and an `a'."
WINNING WAYS continue for (and Pandora can scarcely credit that she's writing this, but it's true) the Welsh Nationalists after their success in this month's Assembly elections. Staff at the Party's Cardiff HQ earned pounds 5,000 by correctly predicting that the party would win 17 seats. PC spokesman Sion Ffrankon was delighted at his share of the spoils. And mortified at the suggestion that the coup was based on "insider knowledge". God forbid.
WHODATHUNKIT? The only word spelt the same in English, French, German, Swedish, Spanish, Danish, Norwegian, Dutch and Portuguese is... taxi.
STAR TANTRUM of the week was thrown by Courtney Love. Brawling with ex-boyfriend Eric Erlandson on stage during a show in Dallas, Love removed her guitar and threw it at him. She missed. So she pulled off her high- heeled Guccis and yelled "Fuck Gucci boots. At least they sent them to me for free." Tch, tch.
"WE HAVE this sweet little story and they have Jedi Knights and light- sabres and stuff. We have no special-effects whatsoever, but my hair looks nice." - Julia Roberts, squaring Notting Hill up to Star Wars. Ah, but which hair does she mean?

summer sunshine gently fading
casting shadows on the lawn
weeping willow, branches cascading
i stretch myself and yawn .
the last rays of sunshine seeming
to inspire the butterflies to dance
in a moment i am dreaming
of true love and romance .
kisses in the twilight
soon the moon will rise
the romantic air of midnight
stars shimmer in the skies .
delicate kisses become demanding
as we feel our passion soar
with true lovers understanding
we feel we can resist no more .
touches soft and tender
igniting feelings of desire
soon we must surrender
to the flames of passions fire .
my quiet corner of reflection
has once more worked for me
i have felt true loves affection
in dreams of my destiny .

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
For the month of June Kantar's Worldpanel ComTech surveys show that gained smartphone market share in the U.S., the EU5 countries (Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain) and also in Urban China based on a three month rolling average. Note that my family and I own Apple shares.
After Apple reported that it sold 31.2 million iPhones in the June quarter it isn't too surprising that the iPhone gained some share during the quarter. What is surprising is that the company gained share with its leading product, the iPhone 5, having been available for over six months while Samsung, , BlackBerry and others launched very good products during the quarter. Apple has had to rely upon promoting the iPhone 4 and 4S to stem its share losses from December 2012.
I have created a Doc that has market share data from Kantar, , IDC and Strategy Analytics with this link. It has Kantar's analysis going back as far as August 2011.
U.S. Market Shares
- Apple's smartphone market share inched up for the second month in a row from a recent low of 41.4% in April to 41.9% in May to 42.5% in June
- Android's market share decreased slightly from 52.0% in May to 51.5% in June
- From a year ago Apple's market share has increased by 3.3 points (39.2% to 42.5%) while Android's has fallen from 52.6% to 51.5%
- While BlackBerry's share has fallen significantly from a year ago (4.0% to 1.1%) it did tick up from 0.7% in May
- Windows market share peaked at 5.6% in March and April and has fallen to 4.0% in June
Source: Kantar Worldpanel ComTech report
EU5 Market Shares (Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy and Spain)
- Apple's share bounced back from May's 17.8% share to 18.5% in June
- This reversed a five month share decline from its high of 25.6% in December
- Android's share fell from its all-time high of 70.4% in May to 69.8% in June
- BlackBerry's share has fallen from 7.0% a year ago to 2.2% in June
- Window's share crept up to 6.9% in June but has only gained 0.1 point of share the past two months after rising from 5.4% in December
China Market Shares
- Apple's share bounced back to 24.7% in June after falling from 25.1% in April to 23.6% in May
- Android's share took a bit of a hit falling from 71.5% in May to 67.8% in June, down 3.7 market share points
- Windows was the big winner increasing its share from 2.9% in May to 4.9% in June
- However Windows share is down from 6.2% a year ago
Source: Kantar Worldpanel ComTech report
While its difficult to determine the exact breakdown of iPhone models sold in each country it appears that the model 4 has had a positive impact on Apple's share. Kantar estimates that more than a third of iPhone 4's sold in Britain were to first time smartphone buyers.
Windows is working to become the third smartphone platform
Windows may have the best shot of becoming the third smartphone platform after iOS and Android. Its market share hit 9% in France, 8.6% in Great Britain and 7.8% in Italy during June.
Dominic Sunnebo, global strategic insight director at Kantar Worldpanel ComTech, commented 'While flagship Windows handsets such as the 925 and HTC 8X grab the headlines, it is the low and mid-range models, such as the Nokia Lumia 520 and 620, which are quietly driving its momentum. It is vital for Windows to be seen as a mainstream alternative to Android and iOS rather than a niche platform. Selling large volumes of lower end smartphones is a good way of getting Windows seen in the hands of potential customers' friends and family, convincing them there isn't a risk in choosing the operating system.'

Free Video Intro. Maker Site - It's awesome!
I recently learned of a VERY cool site that allows you to create short 10-30 video intro's from a bunch of templates and let's you download them for free. The kind you'd see that were typically made with After Effects, but created online with no editing. You just enter the necessary text and it creates the intro. Anyone know the URL?
I either bookmarked it and the title tag isn't relevant (possible), or I wasn't smart enough to bookmark it (probable).

Thiago Silva has been linked to Barcelona and Manchester City, but his agent insists "his preference is certainly Milan."
The defender is hot property on the transfer market and there have been reports he will be sold to raise funds this summer.
"Neither I nor Thiago have had contact with Manchester City or Barcelona," agent Paulo Tonietto told Calciomercato.it.
"His preference is certainly Milan. Only the Rossoneri directors can decide to sell the player.
"The stories that circulated are just journalistic speculation that came out to fill the newspapers when there isn't anything else to write about."
Today Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini also denied he'd been in talks for Thiago Silva. [12]
Keep up to date with the latest news and action from Spain's Primera Division with Football Espana - from the team behind Football Italia. [13]

Best Uses
Comments about Sippy Caps - Ocean & Spring Green:
The tops would be great if they weren't so finicky, even after I make sure to clean the insert very well and squeeze it to let the water rinse they still have a tendency to lock up letting nothing pass. You almost have to wet the insert right before use. I've even tried to get it going with no luck.
Otherwise they come apart easily and are much easier to clean than most others.
Best Uses
Comments about Sippy Caps - Ocean & Spring Green:
So I love the fact that Lifefactory has a glass sippy cup(which seems nearly indestructible to our toddler. We actually use the 5 oz. bottl with the sippy cap.). We started using the sippy cup around 7 months and our daughter had a hard time sucking any liquid through. I tried and do too! We took out the rubber suction piece inside the cap and it became much easier.... but then it is no longer spill proof. The caps are a hard plastic but still soft enough that baby teeth can chew marks onto it. We use the sippy cup every day at meals and go through about two caps every month and a half. Overall.... recommended due to the glass sippy cup option(is you have an early sippy cup user, really, try the 5 oz. bottle with these caps, so much easier to hold), but either hard to suck, or not leak proof, your choice.

Comments about Sippy Caps - Ocean & Spring Green:
I use this product for my 9 month old and two-year-old twins. It works great for my twins but my nine month old struggles a bit to get the water out of his bottle. He is just learning to use sippy cups though.
Pros: easy to clean, works well.
Cons: Can't think of any
I am very happy with my purchase.

It's perfect for the PC/Xbox360/PS3 (though THERES NO MIC JACK ON A PS3 CONTROLLER, WTF SONY SRSLY ?!!) for sound via the Red/White to headset (Music & Movies are good to hear through them lol..)
05-27-2011 #12
Awesome, turtle beach has some awesome products but i'd rather buy a sony just because it'll work 100% (well you can't be too sure on that nowadays Sony seem to be having a breakdown nothing working for them).

The aims of the Advanced Imaging (Al) Program are: 1) To improve understanding of cancer biology and physiology, 2) To improve risk assessment and early detection of cancer;3) To use anatomic and functional imaging to evaluate response to therapy, design optimal therapies for each patient, and to use imaging lo control application of focal therapy (e.g., HIFU) in real time;and 4) To develop new approaches to image acquisition and analysis in support of Aims 1-3. Overall, the Al Program is developing predictive biomarkers, imaging strategies, and therapeutic approaches that enable physicians to deliver the right treatment to the right patient at the right time. The Program fosters strong collaborations between imaging scientists, cancer biologists, and physician scientists to identify new opportunities to apply imaging technologies in both clinical and basic research arenas. The strength of these relationships is evidenced by multiple new grants that fund collaborations between the Al Program and other UCCCC Programs. The Al Program includes 28 members across a range of disciplines, from imaging physics to radiation physics, from Radiology to Radiation Oncology, Cardiology, and Gastroenterology. Research includes studies of animal models, tissues, cells, and materials, simulations, clinical tests of new diagnostic methods and preclinical and clinical use of imaging to guide drug development, tracer development, and image guided therapy. Total NIH funding in 2011 was $7.3 million (primarily from NIBIB with 11% from NCI) and $9.3 million in total funding. Al members published 247 peer reviewed papers over the last 5 years;30% were intra-programmatic and 19% were inter-programmatic. Al Program members have reorganized imaging-related Core Facilities to increase the integration of imaging research with other Cancer Center programs, and to improve access of members of other UCCCC Programs to imaging resources. For pre-clinical imaging, multimodality and molecular imaging have been enhanced by a new 'Integrated Small Animal Imaging Research Resource'that includes PET/SPECT/CT, MRI, Optical Imaging, and Ultrasound, as well as specialized veterinary support and image analysis. In addition, new resources are being developed to support clinical trials and translational research. The Human Imaging Research Office (HIRO) provides logistical support for clinical trials.
The Advanced Imaging Program is designed to move new ideas rapidly into clinical practice to provide benefits for patients. The Program is developing new approaches to cancer risk assessment, detection and diagnosis, and use of imaging to guide drug development. Imaging is an essential component of the UCCCCC's strategy to develop 'personalized medicine', providing tools that allow physicians to design optimal treatments for each patient, and modify treatment as needed to achieve the best possible outcome.

Around 614
A group of refugees from Epidaurum (Cavtat), joined up with a group of refugees from Salona, established a settlement on the island of Ragusium which, in Croatian, is called Dubrovnik. Geographically and politically the town was a part of Dalmatia, which at that time was under the Byzantine Empire.
Around 667
The first time the name of the town was mentioned – "Epidaurum id est Ragusium" (Epidaurum is today Ragusium) - by an anonymous cosmographer from Ravenna.
7th-9th centuries
The people of Dubrovnik inhabited the tiny island entirely, and surrounded themselves with a wall. Before their arrival small communities of Illyrians and Romans had lived there. In those days Dubrovnik governed the whole of the surrounding area, which was called Astarea and stretched from Cavtat to Zaton, with outlying areas called Župa, Šumet, Rijeka, Zaton, Gruž, and also nearby areas in the vicinity of the town. Dubrovnik also held the so-called Elafite Islands: Šipan, Lopud, Koločep, St. Andrija, Daksa and Lokrum and a whole line of small islands in front of Cavtat: Supetar, Mrkan, Bobara and various other tiny islets. The settlers built the first cathedral.
Around 850
Strong gales and bad weather and the pounding of the sea and wind caused Dubrovnik much damage. Later the walls were made stronger and firmer.
Arabs (Saracens) attacked Dubrovnik from the sea but the town bravely held out against a 15-month siege. When, at the request of the Dubrovnik inhabitants, the Byzantine Emperor sent his ships to help, the Saracens withdrew.
With their ships the Dubrovnik people transported Croatian and other Slavonic soldiers to take part in the liberation of Bari from the rule of the Saracens. This is the first known case of a combined attack by the fleets and armies of Dubrovnik and Croatia in the defense of the Adriatic. This event firmly linked the future of these two allies.
Around 878
The Byzantine Emperor, Basil I, decided that Dalmatian towns should pay the Croatian and Slavonic rulers certain taxes to ensure peace on the lands surrounding the towns. Split, Trogir, Zadar, Osor and Krk paid taxes to Croatian rulers, while Dubrovnik paid the rulers from Zahumlje and Travunja.
At a meeting of the Church Council in Split it was decided that the Dubrovnik Bishopric should come under the Split Archbishopric.
For their patron saint the people of Dubrovnik chose St. Vlaho (St. Blasius). Following this, his image was impressed on seals and coins, painted on banners and carved in stone.
Around 992
On his way to Croatia, the Macedonian Emperor, Samuilo, passed by Dubrovnik and on that occasion burned and devastated the town.
Around 999
Dubrovnik became an Archbishopric and Metropolis. Kotor, Bar, Ulcinj and other bishoprics fell under her rule.

Today's World, by M-chan
Demonic screams,
Fill my mind.
Every day, the same,
Unchanging torture.
This binding chains
Pull me down.
Is this the product
Of the world today?
These echoing voices,
Are they the result
Of years of life?
The blood runs quick
And the swords are fast
To strike.
In this day and age,
Is this all
We have?
I look in the mirror
And only see the ugly
Face of sin.
Don't you see that

Project 2 of the ADCS U01 renewal application will be a pivotal multi-site randomized controlled trial to assess whether supervised aerobic exercise is an effective therapeutic option to ameliorate cognitive decline, slow brain atrophy, and favorably alter Alzheimer pathology in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and thus in the earliest stages of disease. Two short-term intervention studies completed . thus far provide preliminary support for a cognition-enhancing effect of exercise in MCI. The proposed trial will examine the effects of a structured and supervised 12-month moderate- to high-intensity aerobic exercise intervention versus stretching on cognition and biomarkers of AD pathology in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain structure using MRI. Sedentary older adults (60-85 yrs old) with amnestic MCI (n=300, CDR=0.5) will be enrolled. Both arms of the intervention will be carried out in community exercise facilities, and physical activity will be gradually increased over the first few weeks and then maintained at the targeted duration and heart rate intensity for the rest of the 12-month trial. Participants will benefit from close supervision using established methods from other successful multi-site exercise trials, on-going health education, and a diversified support system provided by staff, fitness trainers, and an exercise 'Buddy'for peer support. Each week, the interventionist will meet with the participant at the exercise facility to supervise the activity routine, review study goals and progress, identify and resolve issues related to continued adherence, provide encouragement and emotional support, and develop the exercise plan for the coming week. Cognitive and functional outcomes, collected at baseline, months 6 and 12, and again following a 6-month unsupervised extension of the intervention, will include the ADAS-Cog13, supplemented with other tests of executive function, a global (composite) measure of executive function and of episodic memory, the Clinical Dementia Rating scale (sum of boxes). Activities of Independent Living for MCI, and the Geriatric Depression Scale. In addition, participants will complete a brief cognitive test and questionnaire about mood and sleep each week during the supervised exercise session. Biomarkers of exercise efficacy, collected at baseline and month 12, will include measures of aging and AD pathology in CSF, and whole and regional brain volumes. Although regular exercise is widely accepted and recommended to maintain optimum physical health and prevent various medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, exercise is not prescribed with the same conviction to maintain optimum cognitive health or prevent diseases associated with cognitive decline. The results of this study will provide critical data regarding the efficacy of aerobic exercise to improve cognition and favorably alter markers of Alzheimer's disease pathology.
An urgent need exists to identify effective interventions that can arrest or reverse Alzheimer's disease at its earliest stages. Our aim in the proposed study is to provide convincing evidence to practitioners and the public that physical exercise is an effective strategy to reduce cognitive, functional, and neuropathological burden associated with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Although positive effects of aerobic exercise on brain structure and function are reported in normal aging, similar work in MCI is only beginning to garner support. The proposed pivotal trial may forever impact standard of care for this group of vulnerable adults.

Anthology of Respect by Lyn Hughes
Book DescriptionService Not Servitude This Anthology of Respect and the Pullman Porter's National Historic Registry is a reminder of a living legacy and a clarion call to continue what A. Philip Randolph and the Brotherhood defined as "the unfinished task of emancipation." Lyn Hughes, the founder-director of Chicago's A. Philip Randolph Pullman Porter Museum, knows this story as well as anyone, and she reminds us with this publication, of the labor milestone that helped create the new world of Black and White America. Lerone Bennett, Jr. July 2007 Pullman Porters known as the "Ambassadors of Service" transformed early train travel into the Golden Age of Rail, while the Brotherhood became the foundation for Americas' first black labor union. Anthology of Respect, with more than 3000 entries captures their real sentiments, Stories, and family remembrances that give voice to what was an often unseen and unheard force that created the Black Labor Movement in America. "The five years invested in this research was time well spent. I believe this registry will become an invaluable resource. There are numerous collections of data on these men however; I believe this is the first attempt to assemble and present data of this type in a user-friendly manner" "Great idea and long overdue!" Paula Robinson Illinois Advisor National Board Of Advisors National Trust For Historic Preservation "This is a wonderful collection that speaks poignantly and passionately about the lives and the legacy of the Pullman Porters. A group of men who fought discrimination by unionization, whose exploits will be better remembered because of this publication." Lonnie Bunch, Director National Museum of African American History and Culture "This important anthology and registry pays tribute to a group of African American men who 'hid behind the mask' but were important contributors to their communities, their families and generations who followed them." Dr. Spencer Crew President National Underground Railroad Freedom Center
