The OSGi Alliance is an independent organization responsible for defining the features and capabilities of the OSGi Service Platform Release 4. The OSGi Service Platform is a set of open specifications that simplify building, deploying, and managing complex software applications.
OSGi technology is often referred to as the dynamic module system for Java. OSGi is a framework for Java that uses bundles to modularly deploy Java components and handle dependencies, versioning, classpath control, and class loading. OSGi's lifecycle management allows you to load, start, and stop bundles without shutting down the JVM.
OSGi provides the best runtime platform for Java, a superior class loading architecture, and a registry for services. Bundles can export services, run processes, and have their dependencies managed. Each bundle can have its requirements managed by the OSGi container.
Fuse ESB kernel uses Equinox as its default OSGi implementation. Fuse ESB kernel can also use any standard OSGi container, such as Apache Felix. The framework layers form the container where you install bundles. The framework manages the installation and updating of bundles in a dynamic, scalable manner, and manages the dependencies between bundles and services.
As shown in Figure 1.1, the OSGi framework contains the following:
Bundles — Logical modules that make up an application. See OSGi Bundles.
Service layer — Provides communication among modules and their contained components. This layer is tightly integrated with the lifecycle layer. See OSGi Services.
Lifecycle layer — Provides access to the underlying OSGi framework. This layer handles the lifecycle of individual bundles so you can manage your application dynamically, including starting and stopping bundles.
Module layer — Provides an API to manage bundle packaging, dependency resolution, and class loading.
Execution environment — A configuration of a JVM. This environment uses profiles that define the environment in which bundles can work.
Security layer — Optional layer based on Java 2 security, with additional constraints and enhancements.
Each layer in the framework depends on the layer beneath it. For example, the lifecycle layer requires the module layer. The module layer can be used without the lifecycle and service layers.

Glenn Greenwald: Fury over Brooklyn College BDS Event is "Desperation" for Growing Israel Criticism
New York politicians are threatening to cut funding to Brooklyn College if the school hosts a forum Thursday night about the Palestinian-led campaign to boycott and divest from Israel. The Brooklyn College Political Science Department is among the event's co-sponsors. In response, a group of New York City councilmembers has raised the possibility of Brooklyn College losing taxpayer support. The councilmembers' threat is just one of several efforts by local lawmakers, from Congress on down, to pressure Brooklyn College to remove its sponsorship or even cancel the event. As the school vows to proceed with the event, we're joined by one of its featured speakers, author and activist Omar Barghouti, a founding member of the BDS movement and author of "Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions: The Global Struggle for Palestinian Rights." On BDS, Barghouti says, "It follows in the steps of the civil rights movement in this country and the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa. ... It's just when we talk about Palestinian rights that some people are trying to criminalize and make it completely unacceptable speech to address Palestinian rights under international law." We're also joined by Glenn Greenwald, columnist for The Guardian and author of "With Liberty and Justice for Some: How the Law Is Used to Destroy Equality and Protect the Powerful."

DUNKIRK, Aug. 8, 2007 – More than 120 healthcare professionals picketed Brooks Memorial Hospital on Aug. 7, sending management a message that they will no longer tolerate delays in contract negotiations.
The registered nurses, respiratory therapists, and medical and nuclear technologists are currently negotiating a new contract. Their most recent three-year contract expired June 30.
The protest was being held because hospital management has yet to provide the staff with an offer that addresses their concerns over a fair wage scale, vacation allocation, and the hospital's sick leave policy. The next negotiation session is scheduled for Aug. 9.
With more than 34,000 members, NYSNA is the oldest and largest state nurses' association in the nation. It is an influential union for RNs, representing nurses in New York and New Jersey.

Judd Trump roared to the top of the world rankings for the first time as he beat Peter Ebdon 9-1 to reach the International Championship final in Chengdu.
The 23-year-old Bristol cueman assured himself of the number one slot with a ruthless performance against an out-of-sorts Ebdon, who paid a high price for his frequent mistakes.
Former world champion Ebdon made the only century, a 106 break in the fourth frame, but that was a blip in the flow of the one-sided contest, and Trump goes on to face the winner of Saturday's second semi-final between Shaun Murphy and Neil Robertson in Sunday's final.
With £125,000 going to the winner, plus a slew of ranking points, the new tournament has instantly become one of the most important on the World Snooker tour.
And while his stablemate Ronnie O'Sullivan missed the trip, citing illness, Trump, whose first major title came at the China Open in April 2011, is reaping the benefits.

BOWMAN (AP) - Dirt moving work on a new Bowman airport is likely to begin next month.
The Bowman Airport Authority has accepted a bid of about $3 million to do the job. Once the earth moving is finished, the rest of the job will be put out for bids.
The new airport is expected to cost up to $12 million, and the federal government is paying most of the cost. It's supposed to be finished in 2014.
Bowman airport manager Brent Kline says the new facility will have a longer runway to handle private jet traffic from oil companies.
It will be located about four miles east of Bowman, south of U.S. Highway 12. Kline says the existing Bowman airport is hemmed in by railroad tracks, wetlands and the city itself.

Paramahansa Yogananda (January 5, 1893 – March 7, 1952), born Mukunda Lal Ghosh, was an Indian yogi and guru who introduced millions of westerners to the teachings of meditation and Kriya Yoga through his book, Autobiography of a Yogi.[1]
Yogananda was born in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, India to a devout family.[2] According to his younger brother, Sananda, from his earliest years young Mukunda's awareness and experience of the spiritual was far beyond the ordinary.[2] In his youth he sought out many of India's Hindu sages and saints, hoping to find an illuminated teacher to guide him in his spiritual quest.[3]
Yogananda's seeking after various saints mostly ended when he met his guru, Swami Yukteswar Giri, in 1910, at the age of 17. He describes his first meeting with Yukteswar as a rekindling of a relationship that had lasted for many lifetimes:
We entered a oneness of silence; words seemed the rankest superfluities. Eloquence flowed in soundless chant from heart of master to disciple. With an antenna of irrefragable insight I sensed that my guru knew God, and would lead me to Him. The obscuration of this life disappeared in a fragile dawn of prenatal memories. Dramatic time! Past, present, and future are its cycling scenes. This was not the first sun to find me at these holy feet![3]
Later on Yukteswar informed Yogananda that he had been sent to him by Mahavatar Babaji for a special purpose.[3]
After passing his Intermediate Examination in Arts from the Scottish Church College, Calcutta, in June 1915, he graduated with a degree similar to a current day "Bachelor of Arts" or B.A. (which at the time was referred to as an A.B.), from the Serampore College, a constituent college of the University of Calcutta. This allowed him to spend time at Yukteswar's ashram in Serampore. In 1915, he took formal vows into the monastic Swami Order and became 'Swami Yogananda Giri'.[3] In 1917, Yogananda founded a school for boys in Dihika, West Bengal that combined modern educational techniques with yoga training and spiritual ideals. A year later, the school relocated to Ranchi.[3] This school would later become Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, the Indian branch of Yogananda's American organization Self-Realization Fellowship.
Move to America[edit]
In 1920, Yogananda went to the United States aboard the ship City of Sparta, as India's delegate to an International Congress of Religious Liberals convening in Boston.[4] That same year he founded the Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF) to disseminate worldwide his teachings on India's ancient practices and philosophy of Yoga and its tradition of meditation. For the next several years, he lectured and taught on the East coast[5] and in 1924 embarked on a cross-continental speaking tour.[6] Thousands came to his lectures.[3] During this time he attracted a number of celebrity followers, including soprano Amelita Galli-Curci, tenor Vladimir Rosing and Clara Clemens Gabrilowitsch, the daughter of Mark Twain. The following year, he established an international center for Self-Realization Fellowship in Los Angeles, California, which became the spiritual and administrative heart of his growing work.[7] Yogananda was the first Hindu teacher of yoga to spend a major portion of his life in America. He lived there from 1920—1952, interrupted by an extended trip abroad in 1935–1936 which was mainly to visit his guru in India though he undertook visits to other living western saints like Therese Neumann the stigmatist of Konnesreuth and places of spiritual significance en route.[3]
Visit to India, 1935-1936[edit]
In 1935, he returned to India to visit Yukteswar and to help establish his Yogoda Satsanga work in India. During this visit, as told in his autobiography, he met with Mahatma Gandhi, the Bengali saint Anandamoyi Ma, renowned physicist Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman, and several disciples of Yukteswar's guru Lahiri Mahasaya.[3] While in India, Yukteswar gave Yogananda the monastic title of Paramahansa. Paramahansa means "supreme swan" and is a title indicating the highest spiritual attainment.[8] In 1936, while Yogananda was visiting Calcutta, Yukteswar died in the town of Puri.
Return to America 1936[edit]
After returning to America, Yogananda continued to lecture, write, and establish churches in southern California. He took up residence at the SRF hermitage in Encinitas, California which was a surprise gift from his disciple Rajarsi Janakananda.[9][10] It was while at this hermitage that Yogananda wrote his famous Autobiography of a Yogi and other writings plus created an "enduring foundation for the spiritual and humanitarian work of Self‑Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India."[11]
The last four years of his life were spent primarily in seclusion with some of his inner circle of disciples at his desert ashram in Twenty-nine Palms in order to finish his writings and to finish revising books, articles and Lessons written previously over the years.[12] During this period he gave few interviews and public lectures. He told his close disciples, "I can do much more now to reach others with my pen."[13]
In the days leading up to his death, he began hinting that it was time for him to leave the world[14] On March 7, 1952, he attended a dinner for the visiting Indian Ambassador to the U.S., Binay Ranjan Sen, and his wife at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles.[15] At the conclusion of the banquet Yogananda spoke of India and America, their contributions to world peace and human progress, and their future cooperation,[16] expressing his hope for a "United World" that would combine the best qualities of "efficient America" and "spiritual India."[17] According to an eyewitness - Daya Mata, a direct disciple of Yogananda, who was head of Self-Realization Fellowship from 1955–2010,[18][19] as Yogananda ended his speech, he read from his poem My India, concluding with the words "Where Ganges, woods, Himalayan caves, and men dream God—I am hallowed; my body touched that sod".[20] "As he uttered these words, he lifted his eyes to the Kutasha center (the Ajna Chakra), and his body slumped to the floor"[14][21] Followers say that he entered mahasamadhi.[21] The official cause of death was heart failure.[22]
His funeral service, with hundreds attending, was held at the SRF headquarters atop Mt. Washington, Los Angeles, California. Rajarsi Janakanada, the new president of Self-Realization Fellowship, "performed a sacred ritual releasing the body to God."[23] Yogananda's remains are interred at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in the Great Mausoleum (normally closed off to visitors but Yogananda's tomb is accessible) in Glendale, California.[19]
In 1917 Paramahansa Yogananda "began his life's work with the founding of a 'how-to-live' school for boys, where modern educational methods were combined with yoga training and instruction in spiritual ideals." In 1920 "he was invited to serve as India's delegate to an International Congress of Religious Liberals convening in Boston. His address to the Congress, on 'The Science of Religion,' was enthusiastically received." For the next several years he lectured and taught across the United States. His discourses taught of the "unity of 'the original teachings of Jesus Christ and the original Yoga taught by Bhagavan Krishna.'" His teachings reveal the complete harmony and basic oneness of original Christianity as taught by Jesus Christ and original Yoga as taught by Bhagavan Krishna; and to show that these principles of truth are the common scientific foundation of all true religions. In 1920 he founded Self-Realization Fellowship and in 1925 established in Los Angeles, California, the international headquarters for SRF.[24][25]
Yogananda wrote down his Aims and Ideals for Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society:[26]
- To disseminate among the nations a knowledge of definite scientific techniques for attaining direct personal experience of God.
- To teach that the purpose of life is the evolution, through self-effort, of man's limited mortal consciousness into God Consciousness; and to this end to establish Self-Realization Fellowship temples for God-communion throughout the world, and to encourage the establishment of individual temples of God in the homes and in the hearts of men.
- To reveal the complete harmony and basic oneness of original Christianity as taught by Jesus Christ and original Yoga as taught by Bhagavan Krishna; and to show that these principles of truth are the common scientific foundation of all true religions.
- To point out the one divine highway to which all paths of true religious beliefs eventually lead: the highway of daily, scientific, devotional meditation on God.
- To liberate man from his threefold suffering: physical disease, mental inharmonies, and spiritual ignorance.
- To encourage "plain living and high thinking"; and to spread a spirit of brotherhood among all peoples by teaching the eternal basis of their unity: kinship with God.
- To demonstrate the superiority of mind over body, of soul over mind.
- To overcome evil by good, sorrow by joy, cruelty by kindness, ignorance by wisdom.
- To unite science and religion through realization of the unity of their underlying principles.
- To advocate cultural and spiritual understanding between East and West, and the exchange of their finest distinctive features.
- To serve mankind as one's larger Self.
Yogananda wrote the Second Coming of Christ: The Resurrection of the Christ Within You and God Talks With Arjuna — The Bhagavad Gita as stated above to reveal the complete harmony and basic oneness of original Christianity as taught by Jesus Christ and original Yoga as taught by Bhagavan Krishna; and to show that these principles of truth are the common scientific foundation of all true religions.[27]
In his published work, The Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons, Yogananda gives "his in-depth instruction in the practice of the highest yoga science of God-realization. That ancient science is embodied in the specific principles and meditation techniques of Kriya Yoga."[12] Yogananda taught his students the need for direct experience of truth, as opposed to blind belief. He said that "The true basis of religion is not belief, but intuitive experience. Intuition is the soul's power of knowing God. To know what religion is really all about, one must know God."[3][27]
Echoing traditional Hindu teachings, he taught that the entire universe is God's cosmic motion picture, and that individuals are merely actors in the divine play who change roles through reincarnation. He taught that mankind's deep suffering is rooted in identifying too closely with one's current role, rather than with the movie's director, or God.[3]
He taught Kriya Yoga and other meditation practices to help people achieve that understanding, which he called Self-realization:
Self-realization is the knowing - in body, mind, and soul - that we are one with the omnipresence of God; that we do not have to pray that it come to us, that we are not merely near it at all times, but that God's omnipresence is our omnipresence; and that we are just as much a part of Him now as we ever will be. All we have to do is improve our knowing.[28]
Kriya Yoga[edit]
The science of Kriya Yoga is the foundation of Yogananda's teachings. Kriya Yoga is "union (yoga) with the Infinite through a certain action or rite (kriya). The Sanskrit root of kriya is kri, to do, to act and react." Kriya Yoga was passed down through Yogananda's guru lineage - Mahavatar Babaji taught Kriya Yoga to Lahiri Mahasaya, who taught it to his disciple, Yukteswar Giri, Yogananda's Guru.[3]
Yogananda gave a general description of Kriya Yoga in his Autobiography:
The Kriya Yogi mentally directs his life energy to revolve, upward and downward, around the six spinal centers (medullary, cervical, dorsal, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal plexuses) which correspond to the twelve astral signs of the zodiac, the symbolic Cosmic Man. One-half minute of revolution of energy around the sensitive spinal cord of man effects subtle progress in his evolution; that half-minute of Kriya equals one year of natural spiritual unfoldment.[3]
Sri Mrinalini Mata, current President of SRF/YSS, said, "Kriya Yoga is so effective, so complete, because it brings God's love - the universal power through which God draws all souls back to reunion with Him - into operation in the devotee's life." [29]
Yogananda wrote in Autobiography of a Yogi that the "The actual technique should be learned from an authorized Kriyaban (Kriya Yogi) of Self-Realization Fellowship (Yogoda Satsanga Society of India.)"[3]
Autobiography of a Yogi[edit]
In 1946, Yogananda published his life story, Autobiography of a Yogi. It has since been translated into 34 languages. In 1999, it was designated one of the "100 Most Important Spiritual Books of the 20th Century" by a panel of spiritual authors convened by Philip Zaleski and HarperCollins publishers.[30] Autobiography of a Yogi is the most popular of Yogananda's books.[31] According to Philip Goldberg, who wrote American Veda, "...the Self-Realization Fellowship which represents Yogananda's Legacy, is justified in using the slogan, "The Book that Changed the Lives of Millions." It has sold more than four million copies and counting..."[32] In 2006, the publisher, Self-Realization Fellowship, honored the 60th anniversary of Autobiography of a Yogi "with a series of projects designed to promote the legacy of the man thousands of disciples still refer to as 'master.'" [33]
Autobiography of a Yogi describes Yogananda's spiritual search for enlightenment, in addition to encounters with notable spiritual figures such as Therese Neumann, Anandamayi Ma, Mohandas Gandhi, Nobel laureate in literature Rabindranath Tagore, noted plant scientist Luther Burbank (the book is 'Dedicated to the Memory of Luther Burbank, An American Saint'), famous Indian scientist Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose and Nobel Prize-winning physicist Sir C. V. Raman. One notable chapter of this book is "The Law of Miracles", where he gives scientific explanations for seemingly miraculous feats. He writes: "the word 'impossible' is becoming less prominent in man's vocabulary."[3]
The Autobiography has been an inspiration for many people including Steve Jobs (1955-2011), Co-Founder, former Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of Apple Inc. In the book Steve Jobs: A Biography the authors writes that in preparation for a trip, Mr. Jobs downloaded onto his iPad2, the Autobiography of a Yogi, "the guide to meditation and spirituality that he had first read as a teenager, then re-read in India and had read once a year ever since."[34]
Claims of bodily incorruptibility[edit]
As reported in Time Magazine on August 4, 1952, Harry T. Rowe, Los Angeles Mortuary Director of the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California, where Yogananda's body was embalmed,[35] wrote in a notarized letter[3]
The absence of any visual signs of decay in the dead body of Paramahansa Yogananda offers the most extraordinary case in our experience... No physical disintegration was visible in his body even twenty days after death... No indication of mold was visible on his skin, and no visible drying up took place in the bodily tissues. This state of perfect preservation of a body is, so far as we know from mortuary annals, an unparalleled one... No odor of decay emanated from his body at any time...[36]
Rowe continues, "on March 27th there was no reason to say that his body had suffered any visible physical disintegration at all. For these reasons we state again that the case of Paramahansa Yogananda is unique in our experience."[36]
Robert Carroll in his book The Skeptic's Dictionary wrote that the director of Forest Lawn may have given an accurate statement, but calling this lack of physical disintegration "an extraordinary phenomenon" is misleading; a typical embalmed body will show no notable desiccation for one to five months, without the use of refrigeration or creams.[37]
Paramahansa Yogananda's dissemination of his teachings is continued through the organization he founded - Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF)/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India (YSS).[32][38] Yogananda founded Yogoda Satsanga Society of India in 1917 and then expanded it in 1920 to the United States naming it Self-Realization Fellowship. In 1935 he legally incorporated it in the U.S. to serve as his instrument for the preservation and worldwide dissemination of his teachings.[39] Yogananda expressed this intention again in 1939 in his magazine Inner Culture for Self-Realization that he published through his organization:
Paramahansa Swami Yogananda renounced all his ownership rights in the Self-Realization Fellowship when it was incorporated as a nonprofit religious organization under the laws of California, March 29, 1935. At that time he turned over to the Fellowship all of his rights to and income from sale of his books, writings, magazine, lectures, classes, property, automobiles and all other possessions...[40]
SRF/YSS is headquartered in Los Angeles and has grown to include more than 500 temples and centers around the world and has members in over 175 countries including the Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine.[41] In India and surrounding countries, Paramahansa Yogananda's teachings are disseminated by YSS which has more than 100 centers, retreats, and ashrams.[38] Rajarsi Janakananda was chosen by Yogananda to become the President of SRF/YSS when he was gone.[42] Daya Mata, an important religious leader and a direct disciple of Yogananda who was personally chosen and trained by Yogananda, was head of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India from 1955–2010. Mrinalini Mata, a direct disciple of Yogananda, is the current president and spiritual head of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India. She too was personally chosen and trained by Yogananda to help guide the dissemination of his teachings after his passing. She is assisted by a Board of Directors, which includes other direct disciples of Yogananda trained by him.[38]
Noted direct disciples[edit]
The members of this list were drawn from Yogananda's book Journey to Self-Realization, unless otherwise noted, and the date and location of first discipleship to Yogananda are given.[43]

Focus on Athletes - Kimberley Smith
New Zealand's Kim Smith trails Shalane Flanagan in the 10,000m (Kirby Lee) © Copyright
Kimberley SMITH, New Zealand (5000m/10,000m, marathon, cross country)
Born 19 November 1981, Papakura
1.66m / 49kg
Coach: Ray Treacy
Kimberley Smith was an active child, filling every spare moment of her time with a multitude of sports, including gymnastics, netball, and athletics. Her talent for athletics was first spotted when she was ten or eleven and, in a cross-country event, she was noticed keeping up with boys of her own age.
Her parents decided to take her to the local Papakura Harrier club as her uncles were involved in long distance running and triathlons. Smith enjoyed the environment and made a number of good friendships. This time was made even more enjoyable as she was part of several very successful teams despite only "playing with training" at the time.
Smith's twin brother displayed some academic potential and moved to the prestigious Kings College in Auckland. The athletics coach there (Perry Cunningham) had noticed Smith's ability and offered her the opportunity to attend as well. She spent two years at Kings College and trained under the guidance of Cunningham. He was a very encouraging coach and he and Smith remain in contact even now, although she spends most of her time in the United States.
Smith received a number of offers for Athletics Scholarships from the US at the end of her time at Kings College. She decided to take up a scholarship at McNeese State as she knew two other New Zealand athletes (Sita Waru and Karen Lockyer) who were studying there. Unfortunately the set-up didn't suit Smith and she decided to return to New Zealand after one year.
Once back in New Zealand, Smith decided to attend Teachers Training College as well as run. She found it very difficult to manage the demands of her student workload with a part-time job, training, and travelling to athletics competitions. Despite these demands, Smith continued to improve, and Providence College called.
In mid 2002, Smith decided to commit to giving athletics her best shot and she took up an athletics scholarship to Providence College in Rhode Island, NY, under the coaching of Irishman Ray Treacy. Her progress was impressive to say the least.
In her first year at Providence (2003) she took 16secs off her 3000m personal best and reduced her 5000m personal best from 16:30 to 15:47, which gave her the belief that she could foot it with the best in the NCAA (American collegiate system). Into the cross country season and Smith continued her improvement which culminated with a 2nd place individual effort and 3rd place team finish in the 2003 NCAA Division One Cross Country Championships.
Further improvements were to follow in 2004. A solid indoor season saw her record new personal best times over 3000m and 5000m (8:49.18i and 15:14.18i in winning both events at the NCAA Division One Indoor Championships). She also stamped her selection for the Athens Olympic Games with a 15.09.72 clocking over 5000m to finish 2nd to Shalene Flanagan (by 0.05secs) at the Mt Sac Relays. Smith also comfortably won the 5000m at the NCAA Division One Outdoor Championships.
The Olympics are a much bigger deal than the NCAAs - as Smith was to find out. She finished a disappointed 11th in her heat of the 5000m at Athens, and left with a desire to improve on that performance in the next Olympics.
Not one to linger over disappointments, Smith was soon back in action for Providence College. She was in fine form again during the 2004 Cross Country season. To cap off her short but highly successful NCAA career, Smith won the 2004 NCAA Division One Cross Country individual title and led her team to another 3rd place team finish.
2005 was her first year running for Reebok after she was signed to an athletics contract. Smith continued her improvements, taking another chunk off her 5000m PB indoors, to 14:50.46i, a New Zealand record. Then, to confirm her undoubted ability over cross country she finished 12th in the World Cross Country Championships in St-Etienne/St-Galmier. Outdoors, she set another New Zealand record, this time over 10,000m in 31:21.00 at the Cardinal Invite.
At the World Championships, in Helsinki, where she had qualified in both events, Smith decided to run the 10,000m and finished a respectable 15th. She was also committed to running at the World University Games, in Izmir, and against very little opposition had little trouble in winning the 5000m. A long competition cycle finished with 7th place in the World Athletics Final, in Monaco.
Smith returned home to New Zealand in early 2006 with the Commonwealth Games, in Melbourne in March, on her mind. Her performances in 2004 and 2005 suggested that she would have a good chance of winning or medalling. However, she competed in the National championships in Christchurch (as she thought was required by tough high performance director Eric Hollingsworth) despite having some Achilles issues in the weeks leading up to the championships. Towards the end of the race she tore her Achilles and hobbled to the finish, winning but with her dreams of Commonwealth Games participation in tatters.
There was more bad news for Smith. She got a blood clot on her lung and she was advised not to fly back to her base in the US. She remained in New Zealand for several additional weeks before she was allowed to return. She was required to use blood thinning medication for some time. After some recovery time, she slowly eased back into training, and only six months after the injury she was back on the track in Europe, running another national record over 5000m on 25 August in Brussels (14:56.58) and placing 4th in the World Cup in Athens three weeks later.
"I was really surprised at how quickly I recovered from what were two pretty serious problems," Smith said. "To get back racing near to my previous bests was fantastic".
Smith took a giant step up against elite competition in 2007 with two National and Oceania records over 3000m. She also locked horns with Meseret Defar (first vs third indoors in Boston, 8:30.31 to 8:38.14) and Tirunesh Dibaba (first vs second outdoors) and also finished second in the Rome Golden League event, her first podium place in such elite company. Competing at the Payton Jordan Invite she set another National record over 10,000m lowering her own mark to 31:20.63 The World Championships in Osaka provided a fitting end to the 2007 season for Smith with a well deserved 5th place in the 10,000m.
In preparation for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Smith spent the indoor season working on her speed. This resulted in National and Oceania indoor records in the Mile and Two Miles set in less than a fortnight. On 26 January, at the Boston Indoor Games, she first clocked 9:13.94 over Two Miles in the race where Defar claimed the world best over the distance (9:10.50) and then followed up with a 4:24.14 win over the indoor Mile on 8 February.
A month later, at the World Indoor Championships in Valencia, Smith took sixth place in the 3000m in her first participation in the indoor event. Returning to the track in Stanford, where she has had a huge amount of success in the past, at the Payton Jordan Invite, she took more than half a minute off her personal best time (31:20.63 to 30:35.54) – another National and Oceania record Smith raced more sparingly in Europe in 2008 with fourth place finishes at the Rome Golden League (where she set another national and Oceania record in 14:45.93) and the DN Galan meet in Stockholm.
The pace in the Olympic 10,000m final began at a frenetic speed, with the pack being led by Lorna Kiplagat of the Netherlands. Smith hung with the bunch for as long as she could but, shortly after halfway, she fell back. "I knew at the halfway stage I was battling, I was pretty tired from the fast early pace," she said. Never one to quit, Smith ended with a creditable 9th placing. The hot early pace put paid to her hopes of a new personal best, but she still enjoyed the reward of her second fastest time to date (30:51.00)
Smith has mentioned several times a hankering for the road "I do a lot of my training on the road and it really seems to suit me," she said. After the Olympics, she accepted an invitation to compete in the ING New York City Marathon. With the history of two New Zealanders winning (Rod Dixon, Allison Roe) it seemed like a good choice. However, it was not to be the exciting debut predicted by many. In a cruel blow to her chances, Smith picked up a minor illness in the week leading up to the event. Smith is a tough cookie though and decided to still run. She was forced to withdraw after approximately 20miles, as Paula Radcliffe completed a remarkable comeback to win after failure at the Olympics three months before.
Smith's initial focus for 2009 is to produce a creditable performance in the World Cross Country Championships in Amman. "I was training with World Cross in mind," she said. "I did a really pleasing workout so thought I would run a 5000m just to see where I was at." At the Fasttrack Invitational meeting, Smith produced something special. She ran the fourth fastest time ever recorded indoors (14:39.89), having to go around many of the other competitors several times. This time is also faster than her best recorded mark outdoors.

Members of the Leadership Discipline Group are undertaking research involving a range of issues that impact on the health, attitudes and behaviours of employees and, in turn, the effectiveness of organisations. These issues include the levels of health and safety experienced by precariously employed workers, job stress prevention/reduction strategies, employee engagement, work-life balance, workplace trust, recruitment and selection, group dynamics, leadership development, employee relations, human resource management in multinational organisations, cross-cultural communication and negotiation, and organisational change and development.
Staff involved in the Leadership Discipline Group draw on expertise from a variety of scholarly backgrounds, in particular organisational behaviour, industrial psychology, sociology, human resource management, employment relations, organisational theory and international business management. They have also undertaken research across multiple industries (e.g., manufacturing, health care, law enforcement, agriculture) and sectors (private, public and not-for-profit), and have generated high-level knowledge regarding a range of working contexts.
Members of the group are not only concerned about the impact that work and working environments have on employees, managers and other people directly involved in the production of goods and services, but are also interested in the influence on workers' families and the broader community.
The following is a more detailed description of the research activities undertaken by members of the Leadership Discipline Group including a sample of current projects, recent research publications and external grants.

EDINBURG—U.S. Border Patrol agents from the Rio Grande Valley Sector encountered the remains of eight illegal immigrants, seized an estimated $10.3 million worth of marijuana and busted three stash houses where illegal immigrants were being harbored.
So far for fiscal year 2013, agents have saved the lives of more than 600 illegal immigrants whose lives were in danger due to a variety of circumstances. The number of rescues marks a 132 percent increase over the same time period for the previous fiscal year.
Unfortunately, despite their best efforts and life-saving initiatives such as rescue beacons and the strategic deployment of the Border Patrol Search, Trauma and Rescue team, the harsh environment of south Texas took its toll on eight illegal immigrants over the past week.
The majority of the remains (six) were found in the rugged ranchlands near Falfurrias on Aug. 7-8, according to a press release from the RGV Sector Office of Public Affairs. Two of the bodies were found in the Rio Grande near Mission on Aug. 5 – 6, and the other body was found in the brush near Donna on Aug. 6.
Additionally, agents made multiple drug seizures throughout the past week. One of the largest occurred on Aug. 5 near Rio Grande City when agents spotted a marijuana-laden GMC Yukon traveling away from the river at a high rate of speed.
Agents on the ground lost sight of the vehicle but a helicopter from the Office of Air and Marine followed it to a nearby house. The vehicle's passengers abandoned the Yukon and sped off in another vehicle. They were apprehended a short time later. Inside the abandoned Yukon agents found more than 1,600 pounds of marijuana.
In another large seizure, agents from the Rio Grande City Station netted nearly 1,400 pounds of marijuana near Garceño. Several additional seizures pushed the total amount of marijuana seized from Aug. 4-8 to nearly 13,000 pounds.
Finally, with the help of local law enforcement agencies, agents took down three stash houses that were harboring a total of 115 immigrants illegally present in the United States.
According to the release, two of the stash houses were busted, in one of the busts the Mission and Alton police departments helped agents arrest more than 60 illegal immigrants and one suspected human smuggler. In the other bust, Mission Police helped agents apprehend 27. Agents took down the third stash house on Aug. 6 with the help of the Edinburg Police Department, resulting in the arrest of 28 illegal immigrants and two suspected human smugglers.
To report suspicious activity, call the RGV Border Patrol Sector's toll-free telephone number at 800-863-9382.

I know it maybe a big if but if Tyrone Taylor's bat develops he and Almora are similar players?
Interesting question taking overall value into account. Taylor has better physical tools, so there is a chance he makes a jump on both sides and ends up a solid hit tool providing plus defense. I think Almora's overall upside, however, is much higher. The variables that could reduce his value defensively (namely, adding bulking and losing a step) should have an inverse affect on his power tool, so even if he's a slightly different player than I currently see in my mind's eye, I don't see the value decreasing. Add to that Almora's advanced feel and he's still a tier above "best case Taylor". Would love to have both in my system, though.
Just wanted to say how awesome this series is, really enjoy it every week
Chris, no one can ever accuse you of being biased favor of Red Sox pitchers; so please don't work quite so hard to prove it. Ranaudo in the bullpen or a starter on a second division team! Come on!
I also really enjoy this series. I would love to see more of the lesser names in the prospecting circles get a little more light. Less top 50/100 guys and more sleepers. Just a personal preference honestly. If you didn't change a thing I'd still read everything you guys put out. Thanks!

There are three distinct emphases within the Department of Information Leadership Technology.
Students in the computer science emphasis focus on how we represent and work with diverse information in the presence of information technology. They will learn about the connections between how we choose to organize our data and how we choose to compute using our data, including considerations of space efficiency and time efficiency. Students apply these concepts in a range of domains within computing and develop skills in selecting the appropriate techniques for the given context. They will also learn to balance ideal visions for large scale systems with real-world considerations such as development time, resource limitations, security, reliability and maintainability. In conjunction with the core courses in the ITL major, this emphasis will prepare students to pursue a career or graduate education in areas such as software engineering, information systems management, information security, computer science and other computational fields.
Students in the data discovery emphasis will focus on the ways that computers can help humans understand complex social behaviors or scientific phenomena. In addition to learning how to acquire data for digital manipulation, students will learn how to access large datasets for specific purposes, and to convert that data into human-useable form. Students will be encouraged to connect these skills to interests in a connected minor or double major in a science or social science field, using the data discovery techniques of data analysis, data mining, or geographic information systems to complement their broader educational objectives. Courses from the data discovery emphasis include ITL 241: Introduction to Data Mining, ITL 346: Geographic Information Systems, ITL 351: Advanced Database Design, and ITL 359: Database Driven Web-Sites. Students interested in Information Technology Leadership but who do not wish to major are urged to consider the ITL minor as a vehicle to discover connections between their primary area of academic interest and issues in information technology. The minor may be of particular interest to students in art, psychology, or various science and social sciences fields. Students with a primary interest in art may also wish to consider the Graphic Design Concentration, an interdisciplinary concentration between the Art and ITL departments open to students of any major wishing to study the theory and production techniques pertaining to graphic images of any form.
Students in the new media emphasis focus on how we communicate meaning through innovative contexts capitalizing on various new media, including static and multimedia web documents, digital images, and digital video and audio. Visual literacy and creative problem solving are stressed; students are asked to reflect on their consumption and critical understanding of new media content. A wide range of fields are drawn from, including graphic design, educational technology, media studies, photography, human-computer interaction, film studies, electronic publishing, project management, multimedia production. Courses from the new media emphasis include ITL 271: Preparing New Media, ITL 361: Digital Imaging, ITL 365: Digital Film, and ITL 370: Web Design and Development.

Well, well, well: Dr Phares appointed temporary superintendent. Who would have guessed it. And a national search for a permanent appointee -- what a farce that will be.
Do you really believe Jim Phares' appointment as temporary state superintendent schools is really temporary? Come on now, who does the state board think they are kidding?
I no longer have any desire to watch a Bob Huggins-coached team play basketball. I would rather watch paint dry.
Oh, for crying out loud, Mr. Linger, do you think we're stupid?
To the person who commented on the Obama's Christmas trip. I would love to own the hotel and/or the travel agency that would charge $4 million. Please, I think you need a reality check. You are obviously a sore election loser.
Obama Democrats turn everything into white vs. black, rich vs. poor, worker vs. company, union vs. non-union, employed vs. unemployed, religion vs. non-religion, gay vs. straight. Yes, Obama and his followers have divided this country.
I remember the days when lawyers were not permitted to advertise on TV, etc. Nowadays, they all specialize in getting just about anybody on disability, and between the deadbeats that apply, the shysters that represent them and the crooks that hear the cases, all ethics are gone.
Thanks so much to the lady who returned my lost wallet in the parking lot of the Drug Emporium store in Kanawha City. You are a very special person.
Thanks to all residents and businesses who have decorated so nicely for the Christmas shopping season, which ends on Dec. 24. I hope you will leave the decorations and lights up for the real Christmas season, which begins Dec. 25 and runs through Jan. 6.
Congressional Republicans are right: We need to reduce federal spending. I'd estimate stopping Ron Reagan's PIK (pay in kind) farm subsidy to fat cat Republican farmers would save over $20 billion annually.
Do the family members of the sniper victims really expect the federal people to investigate the police agencies that handled the investigation and find fault with these agencies?
Hey taxpayers, we get to pay for Michelle Obama's million-dollar vacations for four more years. We're so blessed.
Ending the Great Depression was not the primary purpose of FDR's programs. They were created to help desperate Americans survive and live a better life. The economy should serve the people, not the other way around.
Our dry newspaper replacement was put on the porch. What a concept.
For those wondering how Marshall can have such good players and such a bad season, I'd have to say good recruiting, bad coaching.
Obama won the election but the Republicans want him to go along with the tax plan that Romney had. Incredible.

configurator tool broken - summary of bugs
I have a few work arounds.
2) Remove the apps from AC by selecting the app and clicking the "-" button. Then re-add the apps. In testing i have seen this occur when apps are updated through itunes and imported back into AC.
4) We were able to prevent our students from installing iOS 7 by blocking through DNS and our web filter this address. ( A little late now but...)
hope this helps, its been a rough week for us all!

Thanks Andy for the iOS7 block! I've been asking Apple support staff for a fix or workaround for 13 months. Our weeks of suffering this year mirror last year with ios 5-6 and configurator v1.1
The ios7 block means we can get some stablility back this year. We plan to wait 2 months for ios7.
goes to show that good support comes from many sources.

Other issues I have been having include (v.1.4, iOS 7.02)
- Setup screens still appearing even after backup file is applied to device
- Restore file not applying at all or producing errors on refresh
- Have lost the supervision certficate a couple of times, but I could still unsupervise the device and recover VPP codes.
The problem of the restore file not being applied is a big one for me as I can't configure the layout accurately and replicated a configured iPad. Has anyone else been seeing this problem? I called our local Apple SE and they have seen this too. Any workarounds?

I updated to Apple Configurator (AC) 1.4, but now I cannot install a new textbook reader app on iPads that were updated to iOS 7.0 by our students. Keep in mind that these iPads were originally supervised with AC 1.3, all apps are installed via AC, I manage a total of 2,150 iPads, 900 at the school where I found this issue. (Luckily, at this time this issue only applies to 60 of those!) The steps I have taken are:
- Several student iPads crashed to the Connect to iTunes screen when I tried to install a new app via AC 1.3. I thought this was strange, so I asked and found out these students had updated to iOS 7. I could not find proof of anything else that caused this, so I figured it was a bug with iOS 7 and AC 1.3, took a chance and updated to AC 1.4.
- Restored these iPads, re-supervised them in AC 1.4 and tried to apply a backup of a 6.1.3 "master"iPad. The backup failed. I understand that problem is probably a 6.1.3/7.0 compatibility issue, so I did not restore any backups. Apps appear to be installing without any problems. (Now, that I read these posts, I need to double check the VPP apps.)
- Next, I tried to install the textbook reader app on iOS 7 devices that had not crashed to the Connect to iTunes screen.
- The "Unable to check iOS" error appeared.
- Turned off Find my iPad.
- Tried to install the app again by clicking Refresh and less than a second later AC chimes to confirm the update is complete. However, nothing happens. The app is checked, but it never installs on any of the iPads. (I've tried multiple iPads at the same time and individually.)
- I tried to remove an existing AC profile by un-checking it, but the same thing happens.
Anyone else seeing this?

I see this same behaviour as you describe in #6, refreshes that take less that a second to complete - only nothing installs and for me not that includes a backup profile.
I did try one thing that seemed to force things, set AC to refresh automatically in the preferences. For me that would force the restore profile to install, but still other weird things would happen like selected apps not refreshing properly.

I have seen #1, #4, and #6 in fpcs2's post. I also get an error "fetch list of apps" and "device disconnected" when it is still connected. When I try to refresh a device with AC 1.4, sometimes I get the "device disconnected" error or it will do the refresh, then symbol that indicates battery/charging in the upper-right of the device will display "Not Charging."
I'm afraid to touch my iPads with 6.1.3 to the AC or iTunes because they essentially break the iPad and force the iOS 7 update on me. I can't apply apps to the iPads and I'm frustrated.
Thanks for listening, and I will be patient bear and keep watching this thread.

The only solution I have found is to turn off Find My iPad, unsupervise, re-supervise and apply backup, reinstall apps. (You will receive the cannot check OS error if you did not turn off Find My iPad. Also, the backup I'm installing now is new and made with a 7.0.2 iPad.)

The DNS block is something we did on Day 1 of iOS 7 and it has worked well for us keeping everyone on iOS 6. I wish there was a configuration profile that would enable iOS Admins to restrict iOS updates...but at least the DNS block is an effective workaround.
Hope all of these iOS 7 bugs get resolved soon! There are a lot of great things that iOS 7 offers that I want to take advantage of, but won't until things are a bit more stable. Keeping fingers crossed for prompt bug fixes...

Reports are in that profiles for 3rd party apps being deleted. In this case the app is "meraki".
It seems there is no way to restore an ipad back to ios6 and old configurator once the ipad has tasted ios version 7.
Please correct me if I am wrong. I have one ipad that updated to ios7 and it can no longer be managed by our stable version of configurator. That's version 1.21 which works great with ios6.

Hey schoolofluck,
Yeah, unfortunately Apple has stopped signing all versions of iOS 6 for iPad. So even with a complete wipe of an iOS 7 iPad in an attempt to restore an old iOS 6 encrypted backup, a restore via iTunes will force the device to check in with Apple and the latest version of iOS 7 will install on the iPad. I've also tried importing an old ipsw file for 6.1.3 into iTunes and into Apple Configurator to try and force loading iOS 6.1.3, but niether iTunes or Apple Configurator will install it.

Ditto with the profiles getting deleted even though I have unselected "delete profiles and apps not installed by configurator"

Here is the major flaw that I found. I can't find out how to download the previous versiuon either so I am pretty screwed at the moment.

Hi Dan A. - You are correct. Apple is much more restrictive now that OSX uses the "app store" for distribution of software like configurator. The only choice apple offers is what they consider to be the current version.
What's the only fix to updates that have more bugs than the "old" version?
Answer: Constatnly use an external time machine backup drive. I had to use this last week. OSX update included an iTunes update. iTunes then broke configurator. I booted my mac from a 10.6 DVD, then did a full restore from a week prior.
Here is the summary: Don't un-supervise a device that has ios6, because it's then forced to move up to 7. Once an ipad moves to 7 it can't be managed if your configurator is not current. If you use the "current" configurator you bump into a new set of bugs. You can't easily move from the current configurator to the previous configurator. If you do use time machine to restore the previous configurator, the cart of ipads can't include ios7.
The recursion is nutty, and the path has bugs no matter what part of the mobeius strip you are on.

Is there a way to define the export tolerance of a step file?
Now the tolerance is always set to 0.01mm but i need a tolerance of 0.001 to go further in another CAD/CAM System.
Possibly set in document settings> units, set the precision 0.0000.... not sure though.
Give it a try, see if it does what you want.
sorry thats not what i want. This is only the viewing tolerance of dimensions not the geometric tolerance
Hi Michael,
Inventor STEP export translator doesn't support customer tolerance. I am sorry that you are not able to control the accuracy for the STEP files.
You may have known that with tighter tolerance, your STEP file size would grow bigger. There are some tread off between accuracy and data size.
Please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you would talk about this more. We would be very happy to hear your opinions.

Hi Michael,
0.01mm is the default export tolerance used during STEP/IGES export. We will consider making this export tolerance as an user controlled value in a future release. Feel free to send the file to madhanrajDOTselvarajATautodeskDOTcom (if you can) and we will investigate if there is any issue with 0.01mm fit tolerance.
For export to Parasolid, there is no option for tolerance. If you have further questions, please send me email to firstname.lastname@example.com
