So to keep things short and sweet, but still give enough detail:
Phone: SGS2 i9100
Flashed the correct Siyah kernal - ran it for a few days with the stock rom and all was good
Decided to flash a rom and after reading about Neatrom I followed the instructions on Sale's Neatrom page on XDA...
.... all seemed to go OK. Flashed the custom recovery, flashed the rom, flashed the gapps and rebooted.
All seemed to be OK until it fully booted - to the screen where it asked for my pin. I wasn't expecting this, but used the pin I would normally use - didn't work. Tried a few obvious default style pins like 1234, 1111 etc. Nothing worked.
Decided to boot into recovery and flash the nandroid backup I had made, but instead of booting up into CWM it booted in TWRP and I could find the nandroid backup.
Perplexed I tried reflashing the rom - this seemed to go OK, but then when I tried to reboot, the phone got stuck on the Neatrom splash screen.
I feel like an idiot (I guess I am!)
Many thanks for reading and I hope someone is gracious enough to help me out.

2003 BMW X5 SUV 3.0i AWD 4dr SUV (3.0L 6cyl 5M)
I have this car for 3 months now and I put about 3000 miles including a trip to Myrtle Beach. I enjoy driving this car. My wife loves it and my son wants to drive anywhere we take this car! So far so good. MPG about 20 highway around 17 in the city. I expected better! The only despoilment is the stereo and the fading of all the readout on the instrument panel. For a 50K + car when new is a disappointment! Other then that I very happy with the car. No problems so far other replacing the rear window regulator in the first week! Very easy to do and I was done in 20 min. Shop around for parts. You will find big difference in money.
As a used car and paying only 1/4 of original price is GOOD!

I love my 03 X5. I take care of it like a baby and it takes care of me. I don't run up the mileage and relatively speaking it has.t cost too much to maintain. When something begins to go wrong I fix it and this minimizes major repair costs. I had a 4 year warranty and extended it 2 more years. The first 4 year warranty was great but the second 2 year warranty not so good. 3 items I am disappointed with would be the stereo (although it is better than my premium Honda sound), the digital reading on the dash board are beginning to go away and when I roll down the back window(s) and drive over 30 mph, the sound is deafening. Otherwise my BMW X5 runs like a top.

Bought used with 20,000 Miles, Loved appearance inside and out. Immediately noted the AM/FM reception in Northern Minnesota was the worst of my experience with over 30 vehicles. Dealer denied there was a problem in 3 visits. Finally told me "95% of owners don't listen to AM anyways". Communications with corporate BMW were very poor. The person in NJ was experienced at deflecting complaints, but knew little about cars. Twice had engine problems under warranty where car blew black smoke out of exhaust. Now at 95,000 the dash displays are missing some digits and the fix is too expensive. One Key Fob is dead and you can't fix yourself, wheels are corroded, dealer experience has been poor.

Performance, appearance, gas mileage are all excellent. The interior trim is not holding up and the controls are terrible. AM radio reception is terrible and the controls on the steering wheel are much too complicated in comparison to the Mercedes and Honda I drive. Cruise Control has 4 buttons with symbols and must be actuated whenever you start the vehicle. The sound system has no dial to go from stations only a button to advance. I would never buy another BMW. I'll stick to Mercedes and Hondas. This is a fun to drive ride and it is a shame they let the little things get in the way of satisfaction for people like me.

I bought my X5 as a certified Pre-Owned from my local BMW dealer. My X5 is my first BMW. I love the handling, acceleration and reliability. It is solid and safe on the road and at freeway speed. It has all the benifits that a brand new one would have. It comes with the 100,000 extended warranty and free maintenance service, so I pay nothing for all services. After the first three weeks of my purchase, I had problems with the lights in the dashboard and the transmission, so I took it for a free repair.

I love the vehicle. I imported from Singapore with 38000 Km on the odometer. I enjoy the car. However, I have experienced two problems that I have not been able to solve. One the radio/CD just went off whilst driving and havent been able to put it on since. Today I switched on the car and could not start, the computer display indicated code. A few times the boot has refused to open, but it would later open after a day or so, seems to be an electronic problem Can someone provide some solutions on this and share solutions if had experienced same thing. Unfortunately I dont have a manual for the car

Great car. Just normal wear and tear maintenenace issues. Handling is great. Yes it's an SUV, not a Porsche. Fuel economy is fine for what it is. Performance out of the 3.0 is all you would need unless you are towing.

My X5 (2003, 3.0L V6) has been great for the first 2 years, but then literally started to fall apart. During the next 2 years I had ~45 visits to the certified dealers to repair constantly failing electrical equipment. Locks, censors, numerous bulbs, dash board panel, electrical mirrors, alarm system are just a few of the problems that the car had during 2 year period. All repairs were covered by warranty, but the car spent more than 60 days in repair shop. Finally I got tired of constant problems and sold it.

Ride quality with a 3.0 W/Sport. Bouncing of the ride is extremely annoying for the passengers and driver at factory settings. The tire air settings on the driver's side door do not represent the dynamics air pressure has on this vehichle at all. I have 255/55r/18" tires Michelin mxv M&S. Mileage was 13 mph to 18 at very best. I looked on the sidewall of the tire and a pressure of 51 lbs. I put in 47 lbs of pressure on all 4 tires. Ride is incredibly smooth, over bumps smooth freeway. The extra pressure gives the SAV 20.8 mpg aggressive driving all day long. 26 MPG @ 60 MPH with cruise. Much faster, better cornering. The solution to bounce. Start at 51 go dn 37p

The SUV is very nice. Very comfortable and easy to drive. I have owned since new. Good build quality, many nice features. Operation has been trouble free. Ride is slightly "bouncy" on bumpy roads. Performance of engine is fine. I would recommend it.

Mother's Day
Episode Reviews (3)
Past mother's day experiences.
Wonderful episode
'Now at 17 i wasn't about to do anything you wanted me to do'. For God's sake Blanche you have to be kidding me. According to Blanche at the age of 17 in 1949 (we know now Blanche's age YAY) she ran away to marry an unemployed, divorced man just to kick his daughter off the Cheer leading squad. It is apart of four flash back scenes the girls do while waiting for all their children to call.
Dorothy kicks off, with a scene including Stan who appears four times in the third season. Dorothy and Stan hoping to borrow money off his mother, a woman who supposedly is incapable of liking Dorothy, of course it turns Stan's mother can't stand Stan and is mean to Dorothy to keep Stan away from her. LOL
Blanche tells the story of the last mother's day she spent with her mother. I thought it was Rue's best episode of the season. Her character wasn't written in its best form during the third season, but rather i found she was in the background making sarcastic remarks that really should have been left for Dorothy and Sophia. Her character is at its best when she's telling a story about a past experience or bragging about a former sexual experience or remaining totally oblivious to a situation eg. Season 1- Going to her senior Prom with a Yankee.
Season 2- Going through menopause or wearing black panties during a cheer leading competition with her sister. Which is why i like this episode. Blanche tells a story (in the presence of her mother) of the time she almost got married and once again we get invited into Blanche's little world and it is hilarity, while at the same time the pain she feels knowing that her mother is dying is so evident in her face. Rose tells a story of a mother's day she spent with somebody else's mother. Very sentimental flashback. Rose protecting the women and spending the entire time with her conversing. Rose really is a such a nice person. The laughs though come from Sophia's flashback. She returns to Brooklyn telling the story of the mother's day she tries to get her mother to move in with her. Her mother played brilliantly by Bea Arthur was quite funny especially Salvadore's relationship with his mother in law. It's also important to note the height of Sophia's mother. It proves that Dorothy is Sophia's daughter and rather just got the recessive gene. Best Line- 'Dorothy when i'm older if i ever do this to you i want you to take me out to the field and kill me'
Young Dorothy- Could you put that in writing.moreless
Season 3, Episode 25.
This was an awesome episode, and a good conclusion to the third season of the show. I liked all the Mother's Day flashbacks. I liked when Rose's son called and she asked him if his tongue would stick to metal and he made her hold. LMFAO! I liked that Blanche was 17 and going to marry a 40 year old whose daughter is her rival on the cheerleading squad. Hehe, I liked Rose's story too. Haha, the lady she was talking to looked like she wanted to jump in front of the bus. Haha, I missed the Dorothy and Sophia flashback because I was on the phone. Cool episode.moreless
Could have gone horribly wrong, but works out fine.
A holiday episode sometimes brings out the worst in comedy writers. Especially with Christmas and Mother's Day they put the emotion in overdrive and kill the comedy. This Mother's Day episode is very different. At the start, I feared to see sentimental pap, but I was pleasantly surprised by the result. Each Golden Girl gets a moment to shine in a flashback, but every sequence has a different tone, with a different type of comedy. And - in the tradition of this show - they also deal with real important issues. Dorothy's story is the typical clash with a mother-in-law, a woman who eventually has to admit that she likes her daughter-in-law better than her son. Blanche gets a peculiar scene: on the one hand we hear more outrageous stories about her reckless youth, on the other, there is something tragic about a mother who's slowly slipping away in dementia. Rose's story is understandably the sweetest. Again, some wonderfully comic lines are topped with a poignant moment. And it's great to see Rose outsmart a police officer. For the final sequence, the writers decided to play it more broadly. In a flashback we see a younger Sophia trying to convince her mother-in-law to move in. The mother-in-law is played by Bea Arthur, essentially switching the dynamic between Arthur and Getty. Both actresses seem to enjoy the change.moreless

All of the above-listed PCT applications are incorporated by reference herein, in their entirety, for all purposes.
The invention relates to the field of material logistics and more specifically to the field of integrating supply systems with manufacturing material control.
Manufacturing of any detailed product is a complex process that requires extensive co-ordination between various entities, both within the same organization and outside the organization. Such manufacturing includes material need determinations, cost negotiations, material availability determinations, and warehousing considerations, just to name a few. Each of these entities typically is responsible for discrete portions of the manufacturing process, including order processing, supplier integration, and process feedback. It follows, therefore, that manufacturing requires getting the right information to the right place at the right time. Today, some of discrete entities or processes of the manufacturing process are automated computing systems. However, the communication and integration among the various entities is lacking. Often this lack of integration is a result of the various different entities that are responsible for the many different aspects of the overall manufacturing process. As a result, completing the entire manufacturing process often requires extensive human interaction between each of the various discrete entities or processes.
In addition, the entity that is ultimately responsible for the end product often is at the mercy of the individual material suppliers. Yet, often the communication to the end product manufacturer from the discrete entities is inconsistent. This inconsistent communication leads to missed production deadlines and eventually the arduous process of identifying new suppliers. In addition, inventories kept by the end product manufacturer often have low visibility, such that material acquisition requests often come too late, especially for long lead time material items.
Therefore, there is a need to provide automation and communication among the discrete manufacturing processes in real-time, and to provide greater visibility of manufacturing inventories.
The invention contemplates a system and method for communicating among entities of a manufacturing process. The system comprises a process tracking and workflow engine and a communications network. The process tracking and workflow engine includes at least one processing rule operating on manufacturing processing information. The communications network cooperates with the process tracking and workflow engine to transmit and receive data representative of the manufacturing communication information. The inventive system also may include a sales system for receiving a product request, where the product request is received from a customer and/or a field sales representative. Also, the communication network may be a local area network, a wide area network, a wireless network, and/or the Internet, or any combination of those. The process tracking and workflow engine determines available suppliers of material items to manufacture the product request, as well as determining the availability and cost associated with available suppliers. Also, the process tracking and workflow engine may select at least one supplier for each material item, and transmit an order to the selected suppliers. In addition, the process tracking and workflow engine may be integrated with at least one supplier's financial institution via the communication network. The inventive system also may include a factory inventory module and a management module both of which may be in communication with the process tracking and workflow engine.
The foregoing summary, as well as the following detailed description of preferred embodiments, is better understood when read in conjunction with the appended drawings. For the purpose of illustrating the invention, there is shown in the drawings exemplary embodiments of the invention; however, the invention is not limited to the specific methods and instrumentalities disclosed. In the drawings:

System Overview
The invention contemplates a technique for integrating the inventory system of a manufacturing facility with each of the many material suppliers systems in real time.
As shown in
Ordering Module
An embodiment of ordering module 201 is an online application that integrates the multiple processes that occur during the ordering and manufacturing of a power transformer into one streamlined process that also provides for real-time access and manipulation of ordering and manufacturing data. It should be noted that the details of implementing a website and/or intranet site in connection with electronic commerce should be known to one skilled in the art and is therefore not discussed herein for clarity.
A block diagram of an exemplary ordering module 201 in accordance with the present invention is shown in
Operatively connected to sales computer 304 by way of communications network 308 may be management computer 310 and project processing server 10 a. Communications network 308 may be the same network as communications network 306, or may be a different network. Additionally, communications network 308 may be a different type of communications network 160 than communications network 306. Management computer 310 may be any computing device for communicating with a management entity of the transformer manufacturer. Such management computer 310, like computers 302, 304, may be any type of computing device, such as computer 20 a, and may permit the management entity to send information to sales computer 304 by way of communications network 308. Sales computer 304 may process such management input, for example, according to predetermined criteria. Project processing server 10 a enables functionality similar to that of management computer 310 with respect to a manufacturing entity of the transformer manufacturer and will be discussed below in greater detail in connection with
Turning now to
At step 215, the order is reviewed. Such a review process may be performed manually by, for example, a sales engineer or the like, or the process may be automated. In an embodiment where a customer performed step 210 above in connection with sending an email, for example, a sales engineer or the like may review the order, correspond with the customer if necessary, and then enter the order into the manufacturing system such as project processing server 10 a. In an embodiment where a customer performed step 210 above in connection with filling out an online form provided by website 312, for example, the form may be reviewed by sales computer 304 or the like and automatically forwarded, if valid, to project processing server 10 a or another manufacturer computer 10 a. A pre-review is also possible, where a customer is only permitted to, for example, select valid options for ordering one or more transformers. The options may be based on valid transformer configurations, manufacturing capacity, availability of supplies or the like. As may be appreciated, in such an embodiment, step 215 takes place prior to step 210.
At step 220, an optimization across manufacturing plants is conducted by the plant optimization module 202, as will be discussed below in greater detail in connection with
At step 230, a determination is made as to whether the order for the transformer has been confirmed. If not, the method proceeds to step 235 where the order is cancelled and any supply or factory holds are released. As may be appreciated, additional factors may be incorporated into step 235 such as, for example, the automated charging or payment of a cancellation fee, the generation of a cancellation confirmation, or the like. If, however, the determination of step 230 results in a confirmed order, the method proceeds to step 240. At step 240, an automated payment plan may be initiated as agreed upon between the manufacturer and customer. The use of an automated payment plan may allow for the automatic deduction of customer funds at given production points, at the completion of production or the like.
At step 245, the necessary materials and plant space are ordered and reserved, and the production of the transformer begins. In addition, the manufacturing process may be further optimized based on orders received, actual plant loading and the like. At step 250, the order and manufacturing process is completed. At such step, a customer service entity of the manufacturer may be notified to, for example, follow up with the customer and receive feedback on the ordering and manufacturing process. An example of such a following up process is described below in connection with the customer relationship management module 207 of
Plant Optimization Module
A block diagram of an exemplary manufacturing system in accordance with the present invention is shown in
A flowchart of an exemplary method for performing a manufacturing optimization in accordance with the present invention is shown in
At step 610, order input is received. The order input preferably includes information about an order such as, for example, a size of the order, a completion/shipping date for the order, and a shipping location for the order.
At step 620, manufacturing capability input is received. The capability input may include global and/or local input. Global input preferably includes capability information about global manufacturing facilities such as, for example, factories 510 and 520. Global input may include facilities throughout the world or throughout a selected region. Local input preferably includes capability information about manufacturing components within global facilities such as, for example, machines 510 a-d and 520 a-c.
At step 630, management input is received. Step 630 is an optional step. Management input preferably includes information related to management policies and decisions such as, for example, manufacturing costs, wages, raw material costs, and strategic planning.
At step 640 a global or local optimization mode is selected. The optimization may be selected manually by a participating user or automatically based on factors such as, for example, the size of the order input and whether the manufacturing input is primarily global or local.
At step 650, the optimization is performed. The optimization is preferably performed by a computational engine such as, for example, computational engine 10 b(2) of
The optimization may be recalculated based on a change in input parameters due to factors such as, for example, a change in planing strategy, available materials, costs, or wages. Such a recalculation may be initiated manually in response to a request or may be initiated automatically based on a detection of a change in input parameters. For example, a participating user may request that engine 10 b(2) recalculate the optimization based on a predetermined degree of a change in input parameters.
The optimization may also be performed based on anticipated future input parameters. Engine 10 b(2) may calculate such future input parameters based on current values, trends, historical analysis, and/or estimates supplied by a user. The current optimization may also be recalculated by varying input parameters for testing and/or planning purposes.
At step 660, the manufacturing location output is generated. The output may include a primary optimal location and a plurality of alternate optimal locations. A participating user may select from the primary location or the alternate location based on management and planning considerations. The output may be submitted via communications network 160 to a computing device such as, for example, client computer 20 a. The output may be displayed to a user at client computer 20 a. The output may be used as input to an application for planning a manufacturing and production schedule at the selected manufacturing location. The output may also be stored for further processing.
The output may be incorporated as part of a report, for example, to management, to potential investors, or to potential customers. Such a report may be used to plan future management decisions such as, for example, future hiring, purchase of additional manufacturing components, creation of new factories, and future allocation of existing manufacturing resources. Such a report may also be used to demonstrate manufacturing capability to potential investors and potential customers.
Supplier Integration Module
Although the various modules in system 200 are shown in communication with certain other modules, it should be appreciated that the configuration of the modules in
As shown in
As shown in
Factory inventory component 802 may be in communication with a management component 803. Management component 803 may be computer processing equipment capable of interpreting the availability and movement of material, as provided by factory inventory 802, and providing material ordering and/or material stocking recommendations. For example, in the context of a distribution transformer, management component 803 may receive data from factory inventory 802 indicating that the in-house inventory supply of transformer insulation bushings are below expected need. As a result, this information will be provided to management component 803. Because management component 803 is an integrated part of system 800, real-time manufacturing, material inventory status, and trend and historical analysis are provided.
Factory inventory component 802 may be in communication with an application tool 804. Also, application tool 804 may be in communication with a supplier A 805, a supplier B 806, a supplier C 807, and a supplier D 808. Application tool 804 is the logic component that processes the information regarding the availability and movement of material from factory inventory 802 and the request for material and end-of-line products from sales system 801. As discussed with reference to
Application tool 804 may be in communication with financial institution 809. Application tool 804 may communicate with financial institution 809 to compensate the supplier or suppliers from whom application tool 804 ordered the needed materials. Also, because each of suppliers 805-808 may be in communication with one or more financial institutions 809, financial institution 809 may provide direct compensation to the selected suppliers. It should be appreciated that like the communication among the various components in system 800, application tool 804 may communicate with financial institution 809 electronically over a LAN or WAN and/or over secure financial networks. Similarly, suppliers 805-808 may receive payment from financial institution 809 electronically. It should be appreciated that each of the suppliers may have different, dedicated financial institutions to process the financial transaction.
Sales Marketing Module
In operation, sales system 908 will send retrieve data from design database 912 and market database 910. The retrieved data is then processed with additional data communicated from factory system 914 to create sales and marketing data for power distribution equipment and services. The created data is then communicated back to the customer 902 by sales system 908 through data converter 906 and communications infrastructure 904. Specifically, sales system 908 executes one or more instruction sets that instruct at lest one execution thread to cooperate with design database 912 and market database 910 to retrieve and store power distribution equipment and services design type data and power distribution equipment and services market data, respectively. In addition, sales system 908 contains one or more instructions sets to instruct at leas one execution thread to cooperate with factory system 914. Factory system 914, among other things, provides creates and communicates data representative of planning, capacity, and material relating to power distribution system equipment and services.
For example, in an exemplary implementation, customer 902 requests a power distribution system component/service quote through the company web site (Internet). As part of this request, customer 902 may fill in a short form including transformer characteristics, project information and shipping information. The information provided by customer 902 may make its way to a sales Engineer, who is tasked to import the quote to the sales system. Sales system 908 executing one or more instruction sets, will communicate with design database 912, that may contain previous sales/design documents and drawings and retrieve a design for the requested power distribution system component. Sales system 908 may then operate to generate a bill of materials and begin manufacturing planning based on the retrieved design parameters.
From there, sales system 908 may then search through market database 910, having populated therein previous sales from previous orders and competitors' prices as well as market business conditions, to obtain pricing information for use in generating quote information for the desired power distribution system component/service. In the event that a design is not available in design database 912 as it is a newly designed power distribution system component or a special type, then an estimation of the minimum required design parameters is performed. If sales system 908 determines that the minimum design parameters is adequate for performing the estimate, sales system 908 will cooperate with a design system (not shown) to calculate those parameters and store them in design database 912 for future use.
At this stage, the sales engineer has the option to mail, fax and/or email that quote to the customer. Once customer accepts the quote and sales are acknowledged with that acceptance, they enter a confirmation into the sales system that forward all technical information to the appropriate manufacturing facility. Sales system 908 may also operate to perform a cost analysis on the manufactured product to determine if it is inline with the provided quote. Sales system 908 may also operate to generate reports relating to the above-described processing. In these reports information about sales trends, realized quotes or other relevant management information may be contained.
Customer Relationship Module
In the exemplary implementation described, CRM processes 1005 may include instruction sets to obtain or provide customer demographic, use, affinity, order history, profile, or payment history information. In addition, CRM processes 1005 may contain one or more instruction sets to track and log customer complaints surrounding the sales and/or performance of power distribution system equipment or services. Similarly, error tracking and reporting processes 1010 may include instruction sets to obtain or provide various error information for power distribution system equipment sales activities. Included in the error information is delivery error, missing equipment parts error, incorrect specifications error, and malfunctioning equipment error information.
It is appreciated that although the exemplary implementation, shows CRM processes operating first and error tracking and reporting processes operating second, that such processing order is merely exemplary as customer relationship module 207 contemplates various processing orders for these and other customer relationship module 207 components.
In an exemplary implementation, the above-described processing of
Thus, an industrial IT system for the distribution and manufacture of transformers with suppliers system integration is disclosed. While the present invention has been described in connection with the preferred embodiments of the various figures, it is to be understood that other similar embodiments may be used or modifications and additions may be made to the described embodiment for performing the same function of the present invention without deviating therefrom. Therefore, the present invention should not be limited to any single embodiment, but rather should be construed in breadth and scope in accordance with the appended claims.

The Jack Adams award is given out each year to the coach who is judged to have contributed the most to his team's success in the National Hockey League. If you were to ask Isles fans about Jack Capuano's name being thrown into the list of candidates for the award a year ago, you would have received plenty of laughs.
Despite being the next winningest coach for the Islanders after Al Arbour, Capuano had drawn the ire of the Islanders faithful for his inability to provide Nassau Coliseum ice with a winning hockey team after making the playoffs the year before.
But considering the success of the Islanders this season, it would be inconsiderate of the league to not take a look at Capuano when deciding who should be nominated for the award.
The New York Islanders played host to their former coach Peter Laviolette and the Nashville Predators, who are currently sporting the best record in the National Hockey League. But the Islanders would prevail as the best team on the ice, battling their way to a 5-2 win at Nassau Coliseum.
After having an incredible first half of the season, the New York Islanders find themselves in a somewhat unfamiliar position. The Isles are losers of four of their past five, and barely scraped away with a shootout win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday.
Tonight the Isles will face the Buffalo Sabres, a team that is dwelling at the very bottom of the NHL standings and is also 2-8-0 in their last ten games played.
By all standards, this is a game that the Islanders should absolutely win. However, the Isles need to make sure history does not repeat itself.
Last night's loss to the Edmonton Oilers is not one where the Islanders could skate away believing that they played their best despite an unwanted outcome. Defensive breakdowns, a few bad goals let up by Jaroslav Halak, and an inability to capitalize on scoring chances led to their 5-2 defeat.
But there is one major positive that can be taken away from a 5-2 loss on the road to a team that has had a horrible start to the season.
The Islanders are on a losing streak to start off the month of November and every Islanders fan is clutching their forehead in a panicked frenzy expecting this team to drop to last place in the Eastern Conference standings overnight.
Two words everyone: calm down.
It cannot be denied that seeing the Islanders drop three games in a row is not a good thing. Nor is it good to see a team that started 4-0 suddenly hovering one game above .500. But it is a very long season and it is still very early.
And despite their recent struggles, the Islanders currently sit at third place in the Metropolitan Division.
The New York Islanders have ended their 2014 season by finishing 26th in the league, good enough for the fifth overall pick in this year's draft lottery and a 34-37-11 record.
At this time last year, the Isles were 24-17-7, a record that was good enough to place them eighth in the Eastern Conference and allow them to play the Pittsburgh Penguins in a first round playoff series match-up.
Clearly, this was not the direction that the Islanders and their fan-base expected them to travel this year.
The NHL trade deadline is scheduled for March 5th, just a few days shy from officially being one month away. Typically, that would leave for plenty of hockey to be played between now and then, but that isn't the case this year with the Winter Olympics coming up in just a little over a week.
In fact, there are only seven NHL games to be played between now and then.
They currently hold a 21-28-8 record that is good for 50 points and 14th in the Eastern Conference. They are also 10 points away from the eighth placed Philadelphia Flyers.
With the Islanders having lost their last five games in a row, all signs point to this team becoming sellers at the deadline.
After a phenomenal first round of the 2013 Stanley Cup playoffs, eight teams were knocked out and eight teams moved on.
The West saw it's 2-4 seeds get eliminated in the first round while the East boasted a pair of game sevens.
The New York Islanders lost 4-3 in overtime last night to the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins, thus ending their run in the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Penguins took the series in six games, winning the last battle on Coliseum ice in front of a sold out crowd of Islanders fans that continued to give their home team a standing ovation despite being eliminated.
"It's exciting to play in a building like this. It's a lot of fun. In my opinion, we're probably the loudest arena in the league now," said Matt Martin after the game.
"The fans were unbelievable through the end of the season there in the last five home games and all through the playoffs. They were a big factor in the way we played at home down the stretch. It makes a huge difference for us. People don't realize it but it gives you a little extra boost, a little extra energy when the crowd goes nuts like that. You definitely want to do something exciting."
This is the first time in five years that the Flyers are on the outside looking in. Pretty unfamiliar position for us Flyers writers as well. On the other hand, this is pretty interesting. There are now 16 teams to choose from to get behind and root for these next two months. The TCL Flyers staff will fill you in on those 16 teams and tell you why you should pick them.

USOC Narrows Possible '24 Summer Games Bid To Four Cities: Boston, L.A., S.F., DC
Published June 16, 2014
BOSTON STRONG: In Boston, Mark Arsenault wrote the city's "improbable dream" of hosting the '24 Games is "suddenly a bit more real." City and state political leaders "generally reacted positively to the committee's vote of confidence, without committing themselves to supporting a full-blown Olympic bid" (BOSTON GLOBE, 6/14). Boston-based Suffolk Construction Chair & CEO John Fish said the biggest obstacle facing the city's '24 Olympic bid is "to go through an exercise to determine the vision for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 2030." He added, "It's not about the vision for the Olympics. It's about the vision for our future and the vision for the younger generation" (BIZJOURNALS.com, 6/13). In Boston, Shirley Leung wrote under the header, "Give Boston Olympics A Chance." An Olympic bid is "going to cost us dearly in time and resources -- but that shouldn't stop us from seizing the opportunity to think big about ourselves" (BOSTON GLOBE, 6/14).
COMPETITION IN OTHER PLACES: In DC, Liz Clarke wrote the USOC's decision about whether it will ultimately submit a bid for '24 will "hinge largely on the IOC's current review of its process for awarding Olympic Games." Meanwhile, DC's inclusion among the finalists "represented thrilling news to DC2024, the group of civic and business leaders that has worked largely behind the scenes in recent months" (WASHINGTON POST, 6/14). In S.F., Kale Williams noted past U.S. bids to host the Games "have proved challenging." Any bid from the U.S. for the '24 Games "almost certainly will face stiff international competition, with interest likely coming from places like Rome, Paris and Istanbul" (S.F. CHRONICLE, 6/14).
DOWN BY THE BAY: In San Jose, Mark Purdy wrote the odds "are 99-1 against" the Summer Games ever being held in the Bay Area. The region "isn't like other metropolitan areas in America, which have one dominant city and entirely subservient suburbs." Each corner of the Bay Area "has its own vibe and agenda," and "getting all the political entities on the same page is terribly difficult" (SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS, 6/15).
MISSING THE CUT: In Dallas, Jeff Mosier wrote the city's "latest race for international sports glory ended Friday with no large public gatherings and few words." The "low-key effort" for the '24 bid "cost a fraction" of the city's bid for the '12 Games. It "included only a small group of backers and avoided most public controversy." It also "didn't make it any farther than Dallas' first Olympics run" (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 6/14). In San Diego, Ken Stone reported the city based its failed bid on "the region's beauty and climate, and also touted a innovative economy, diverse population, tourism infrastructure and location on the Pacific Rim" (TIMESOFSANDIEGO.com, 6/13). The SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE polled its readers, asking the question, "How do you feel about San Diego losing its 2024 Olympics bid?" Of the 1,802 readers who voted as of this morning, 79% indicated they are "relieved," while 20% responded they are "disappointed" (UTSANDIEGO.com, 6/16).

As announced last week, the John M. Barry Boys & Girls Club of Newton is participating in the Envision the Future program with the support of NewtonSTEM, the Newton Free Library, Newton Community Education, and the Southeastern STEM Network. The first step is to send three Newton middle-school girls as ambassadors to Envision the Future's one-week summer STEM program at Bridgewater State University, July 20-24. On their return, these student ambassadors will be called on to spread the word — through presentations, articles, etc. — about what they learn from the program. The sponsoring organizations will replicate one or more of the program's STEM-promoting practices in Newton next year.
Interested middle-school girls should apply online by 9AM on April 6 and also have a parent/guardian sign and submit the Parent/Guardian Approval Form (PDF) by that deadline. Continue reading

As the song goes, "There is something going on in the little town, in the small town of Malta." EXPO 2012, an eclectic extravaganza involving a race, a veteran's parade, and a showcase of educational opportunities, hobbyists, crafters, artists and businesses is planned for Sept. 8 at the Hudson Valley Community College TEC-SMART Campus.
Malta Sunrise Rotary, working with the Malta Business and Professional Association, Hudson Valley Community College, NYSERDA and a host of schools and colleges, are sponsoring this community event. It will begin at 8 a.m. with a 5K race through the Luther Forest Tech Campus, followed by a veteran's parade through downtown Malta at 10 a.m. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. exhibitors will be on display at the TEC-SMART Campus located at 345 Hermes Rd. Everything imaginable, from games for children to robotics, antiques, job advisors, educational counselors, crafts, art displays, performers, food vendors, inventors and businesses will be located in the rotunda of the college auditorium.

So why not stop by with your family and check out EXPO 2012? There is something of interest for all ages.

increases the likelihood of quitting success‖
CHANTIX dosing
1 starting month + 2 continuing months=3 total months
|Week 1 (titration)
|Weeks 2 through 12
Before prescribing CHANTIX, ask your patients if they have any history of
psychiatric disorders. Quitting smoking, with or without treatment, has
been known to exacerbate underlying psychiatric conditions.1-3
Set patient expectations
- Remind patients to titrate up during week1
- Encourage patients to take the full 12 weeks of CHANTIX
- Instruct patients to take CHANTIX after eating, with water
- Prepare patients for the possibility of nausea and abnormal dreams (see below for incidence and discontinuation rates)
- Consider reducing dosage for cases of intolerance
- Encourage patients to continue their quit attempt even if they slip up and smoke during treatment because some patients may successfully quit smoking later in the
course of therapy4
- Be sure to discuss with patients the safety information, including the Warnings and Precautions, in the Prescribing Information
- Explain to patients that a support program may be helpful,5 and inform them about the CHANTIX GETQUIT® Plan
In a post hoc analysis of data pooled from 2 head-to-head pivotal trials
Every week of the 12-week trial treatment phase, more smokers who received CHANTIX quit and stayed quit through week 126,7*‖
Incidence and discontinuation rates due to nausea and abnormal dreams in CHANTIX clinical trials§
Of participants who received CHANTIX 0.5 mg bid throughout the 12-week course of treatment:
- 16% reported nausea vs 10% of participants who received placebo
- 9% reported abnormal dreams vs 5% of participants who
received placebo
Please scroll for Important Safety Information and Indication
All patients being treated with CHANTIX should be observed for neuropsychiatric symptoms including changes in behavior, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, and suicide-related events, including ideation, behavior, and attempted suicide. These symptoms, as well as worsening of pre-existing psychiatric illness and completed suicide have been reported in some patients attempting to quit smoking while taking CHANTIX in the postmarketing experience.
These events have occurred in patients with and without pre-existing psychiatric disease. Patients with serious psychiatric illness such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder did not participate in the premarketing studies of CHANTIX.
Advise patients and caregivers that the patient should stop taking CHANTIX and contact a healthcare provider immediately if agitation, hostility, depressed mood, or changes in behavior or thinking that are not typical for the patient are observed, or if the patient develops suicidal ideation or suicidal behavior. In many postmarketing cases, resolution of symptoms after discontinuation of CHANTIX was reported, although in some cases the symptoms persisted; therefore, ongoing monitoring and supportive care should be provided until symptoms resolve.
CHANTIX is contraindicated in patients with a history of serious hypersensitivity or skin reactions to CHANTIX.
During clinical trials and the postmarketing experience, there have been reports of seizures in patients treated with CHANTIX, with or without a history of seizures. CHANTIX should be used cautiously in patients with a history of seizures or other factors that can lower the seizure threshold. Instruct patients to discontinue CHANTIX, and contact a healthcare provider immediately if they experience a seizure while on treatment.
There have been postmarketing reports of patients experiencing increased intoxicating effects of alcohol while taking CHANTIX, including unusual and sometimes aggressive behavior directed to oneself or to others and often accompanied by amnesia. Advise patients to reduce the amount of alcohol they consume while taking CHANTIX until they know whether CHANTIX affects their tolerance for alcohol.
Patients should be informed that there have been reports of serious skin reactions, such as Stevens Johnson Syndrome and Erythema Multiforme and of angioedema, with swelling of the face, mouth, and neck that can lead to life-threatening respiratory compromise. Patients should be instructed to discontinue CHANTIX and immediately seek medical care if they experience these symptoms or at the first sign of rash with mucosal lesions or any other signs of hypersensitivity.
In a meta-analysis of clinical trials including a trial in patients with stable cardiovascular disease, while serious cardiovascular events were infrequent overall, certain serious cardiovascular events were reported more frequently in patients treated with CHANTIX than placebo. These events occurred primarily in patients with known cardiovascular disease. Instruct patients to notify their healthcare providers of new or worsening cardiovascular symptoms and to seek immediate medical attention if they experience signs and symptoms of myocardial infarction or stroke.
The most common adverse reactions include nausea (30%), abnormal dreams, constipation, flatulence, and vomiting. Patients should be informed that they may experience vivid, unusual, or strange dreams during treatment with CHANTIX. Patients should be advised to use caution driving or operating machinery or engaging in other potentially hazardous activities until they know how CHANTIX may affect them.
Safety and efficacy of CHANTIX in combination with other smoking cessation drug therapies have not been studied. Dosage adjustment with CHANTIX is recommended in patients with severe renal impairment or in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
Smoking cessation, with or without treatment with CHANTIX, may alter the pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics of some drugs, such as theophylline, warfarin, and insulin. Dosage adjustment for these drugs may be necessary.
CHANTIX is indicated as an aid to smoking cessation treatment in adults 18 and over. Patients may benefit from behavioral modification and support during their quit attempt. Patients should be encouraged to continue to attempt to quit if they have lapses after quit day.
