Twenty-first century challenges require 21st century solutions. This fact applies broadly in our current global economy, where many industries are looking beyond traditional, developed markets to the emerging markets. One such industry is healthcare, where medicines are used to extend and improve the quality of life for patients around the world. There is an increased need for consistent and appropriate quality requirements for medicines because disharmonized standards do not provide additional value or benefit, but rather increase the cost and complexity of bringing medicines to patients worldwide. Medicines may be globally sourced across developed and emerging markets, and the supply chain for ingredients and drug products is complicated by the overall lack of consistent, harmonized quality requirements.
The lack of harmonized drug standards is the result of several existing conditions, including national and regional laws, regulatory requirements and expectations, and applicable pharmacopeial (or compendial) requirements. Pharmacopeias with differing standards exist in many of the developed and emerging economies. The purpose of this paper is to initiate discussion on a new approach to address the challenge of achieving globally harmonized compendial standards for pharmaceutical ingredients and dosage forms. The concepts include development of standardized practices and enhanced collaboration among the pharmacopeias, as well as participation and agreement by the regulatory agencies.
BackgroundOne approach to achieving harmonized quality requirements for medicines is the creation of a single, global compendial standard. This was a key consideration in the recently published article describing the "ideal pharmacopeia" (1). But this idea is not new. The original objective in the creation of the International Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Int.) more than 60 years ago under the direction of the World Health Organization (WHO) was the creation of a unified pharmacopeia. The European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.), first elaborated in 1964, is a more recent example of the successful creation of a single, harmonized, broadly applicable pharmacopeia, where several individual national pharmacopeias previously existed. It is also recognized that the United States Pharmacopeia–National Formulary (USP–NF) and the British Pharmacopoeia (BP) provide compendial standards that are applied well beyond their geographical boundaries.
Other approaches to developing harmonized compendial standards include the efforts by the Pharmacopeial Discussion Group (PDG) and International Conference on Harmonization's (ICH) Q4B guideline (2). These activities, which generally focus on retrospective harmonization of widely used general chapters and excipient monographs in the USP–NF, Ph. Eur., and Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP), have achieved some success, but are limited in scope and are time-consuming. It is well understood that there are inherent challenges in retrospective harmonization. More recent approaches include the prospective harmonization pilot project, a collaboration between the pharmaceutical industry, Ph. Eur., and USP to achieve harmonized API monographs (3).
Although these approaches have provided some progress toward creating harmonized compendial standards, they have largely been limited in their breadth and depth. In consideration of today's continuing reality of multiple national and regional pharmacopeias, and our need to serve a global patient population, other approaches must be considered to achieve a 21st century solution.

Breaking Language Barriers with Netbeans 6.7 IDE
By marianne on Jul 29, 2009
Wouldn't it be great if there was a single IDE that let you create applications in any language you wanted, allowed you to collaborate effectively with a team of developers scattered across the globe, let you import projects created in other environments, as well as let you export your projects to another IDE of your choice? With the NetBeans 6.7 IDE release, you can. With native Maven and Ant support, as well as full Kenai integration, plus enhanced support for languages like PHP, JavaFX, Javascript, Groovy, Grails, Ruby, and Ruby on Rails (just to name a few because, oh yes, there are a LOT more), this IDE is a one-stop-shop for web, enterprise, desktop, and mobile developers.
In this edition of Innovating@Sun, host Hal Stern, SVP Global Systems Engineering, and John Jullion-Ceccarelli, Sr. Engineering Manager for Netbeans, discuss this latest release of NetBeans and how it's connecting developers like no other IDE.[Read More]

Insurance: Sometimes You Need It, Sometimes You Don't
Auto Insurance
You must have car insurance, because the liability risk if you're in an accident is too great to ignore. Auto insurance is expensive, but it's required by law in nearly every state. Even if it weren't, you couldn't afford to be without it.
Different types of coverage are associated with car insurance, but the one that's re-quired by almost all states is liability. Liability coverage is twofold: bodily injury and property damage. The bodily injury liability coverage protects you against lawsuits in the event that someone is injured in an accident in which you're involved. Althoughit varies from state to state, most states impose a minimum amount of bodily injury coverage, between $10,000 and $30,000 per person, and up to $100,000 per accident. If you lend your car to someone else to drive, remember that the insurance follows the car. Thus, your coverage is the primary insurance in the event of an accident.
Pocket Change
Although $100,000 sounds like a lot of bodily injury coverage, experts say that to protect your assets in case you're sued, you should have up to $300,000 in coverage. If you buy only the minimum amount, it might not cover all your liability in the event of a lawsuit.
Dollars and Cents
Certain vehicles are more likely to be stolen than others, according to police statistics. Honda Accords and Toyota Camrys are two vehicles frequently targeted by thieves.
The property damage liability covers damage to other cars and property that's caused by your car. It would not only cover the cost of fixing a car that you hit, but it would pay to repair or replace the fence you ran over, too. Most states require a minimum of $10,000 in property coverage.
If you have a loan on your car, you'll need collision and comprehensive coverage, as well. Collision coverage pays for damage to your car if you're in an accident or pays to replace a car that's totaled. Com-prehensive coverage protects you from car theft or weird things that could happen to your car, such as a tree falling on it or it being damaged during a riot, fire, or flood.
If you get hit by someone who doesn't have insurance (this isn't as unusual as you might think), you'll need uninsured motorist coverage. This insurance covers your medical expenses and lost wages in the event that you're injured by an uninsured motorist.
When you rent a car, your policy provides coverage unless it states otherwise. Read your policy, and always call before you go on a trip. If your deductibles are high, you should purchase coverage from the rental company.
There's a big difference in auto insurance rates, so be sure you look around. Be aware that a poor driving record will dramatically increase your insurance rates. Look for cars with good safety records (a Volvo anyone?), and stay away from hot sports cars or convertibles if you're interested in keeping your rates down.
If you're over 25, you'll generally get a better rate than someone who is younger. Also, being married, living in what is considered a safe neighborhood, and having a relatively short work commute (driving less than 7,500 miles/year or not using your car for work) will lower your insurance rates.
Property Insurance
You're required to buy property insurance before you can get a mortgage, so if you own a home, you already have homeowners insurance.
If you're renting an apartment, you'll need renters insurance if you have a lot of stuff you want to protect. Damage to the building is not your responsibility, but if your TV or VCR is stolen or damaged, you'll need insurance if you want to replace it without paying out-of-pocket. If you have a bunch of good computer equipment or a rare coin collection, you definitely should look into renters insurance.

In Signal Processing books, a fundamental theorem is that linear time invariant systems can be represented as a convolution with a distribution. Could you give a mathematically rigorous statement of this theorem, or refer a book that includes it?
Edit: For example, would the following be a correct statement?
"Let S' be the space of tempered distributions. If L is a linear operator on S' that commutes with translations, then there exists a distribution h in S' such that Lf = f*h for all f in S'"

Hi Ralph,
I am afraid I have been a little hasty!
I remake my tests with more care and I got the same error also with the 1.3.3 :-/
but in such version the error happens after some successful executions... because of that I did not realize before!
Furthermore, I increased the number of levels of the tree (that means have more concurrently dynamic process creations in the lower levels) and I never arrive to execute without error, unless I add the delay.
Perhaps the problem might even be a race condition :(
I test with LAM/MPI 7.1.4 and in a first moment it works fine. I have work with LAM for years, but I migrate o OpenMP last year once LAM will be discontinued...
I think that I can continue the development of my application adding the delay, while I wait for a release... and I leave the performance tests to be made in the future :)
Thank you again Ralph,

I intend to develop an application using the MPI_Comm_spawn to create dynamically new MPI tasks (or processes).
The structure of the program is like a tree: each node creates 2 new ones until reaches a predefined number of levels.
I developed a small program to explain my problem as can be seen in attachment.
-- start.c: launches (through MPI_Comm_spawn, in which the argv has the level value) the root of the tree (a ch_rec program). Afterward spawn, a message is sent to child and the process block in an MPI_Recv.
-- ch_rec.c: gets its level value and receives the parent message, then if its level is less than a predefined limit, it will creates 2 children:
- set the level value;
- spawn 1 child;
- send a message;
- call an MPI_Irecv;
- repeat the 4 previous steps for the second child;
- call an MPI_Waitany waiting for children returns.
When children messages are received, the process send a message to its parent and call MPI_Finalize.
Using the openmpi-1.3.3 version the program runs as expected but with openmpi-1.4 I get the following error:
$ mpirun -np 1 start
level 0
level = 1
Parent sent: level 0 (pid:4279)

The error happens when my program try to launch the second child immediately after the first spawn call.
In my tests I try to put an sleep of 2 second between the first and the second spawn, and then the program runs as expected.
Some one can help me with this version 1.4 bug?

AccordionLayoutContainer scrolling problem (IE only)
I have some ContentPanels inside an AccordionLayoutContainer. When the text in one of the ContentPanels is long enough to need a horizontal scrollbar, if I move the mouse over the text it causes the ContentPanel to grow continuously to the bottom of the page, pushing anything below it off the page. This happens in IE, but not in Firefox.
I have not seen this reported for GXT, but saw it for EXT here: http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthread.php?230978, but I don't see that it was fixed anywhere. Can you please let me know the status? Thanks.

Could you please provide an update on the status of this bug?
19 Jun 2013 2:32 PM #6
Thanks for reporting this bug. We've been over the original Ext JS bug report, but as GXT and Ext JS don't share any code, I'm not sure what to take away from it. We've tried to build a few test cases to reproduce this both from your description and from the linked thread, but so far have been unable to cause the bug.
I've tried modifying the sample AccordianLayoutExample.java and noticed it produced a scroll and tried IE7,8 & 9 but didn't see any growth on mouse hover.
String s = "A:testtesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttestB:testtesttesttest~~~"; store.add(m, newItem("Darrell" + s, "user")); store.add(m, newItem("Maro" + s, "user-girl")); store.add(m, newItem("Lia" + s, "user-kid")); store.add(m, newItem("Alec" + s, "user-kid")); store.add(m, newItem("Andrew" + s, "user-kid"));
I've also tried the snippet below with IE7,8 & 9, which produced a horizontal scroll manually but didn't see any growth on mouse over yet.
@Override public void onModuleLoad() { ContentPanel panel = new ContentPanel(); panel.setHeadingText("AccordionLayout"); panel.setBodyBorder(false); panel.setPixelSize(200, 325); RootPanel.get().add(panel); String s = "A:testtesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttestB:testtesttesttest~~~"; s += s + s + s + s + s + s + s + s + s + s + s; HTML html = new HTML("1:" + s); html.getElement().getStyle().setOverflowX(Overflow.SCROLL); ContentPanel cp = new ContentPanel(); cp.setHeight(100); cp.setAnimCollapse(false); cp.setHeadingText("Header 1"); cp.add(html); ContentPanel cp2 = new ContentPanel(); cp2.setHeight(100); cp2.setAnimCollapse(false); cp2.setHeadingText("Header 2"); cp2.add(new HTML("2:" + s)); AccordionLayoutContainer alc = new AccordionLayoutContainer(); alc.setExpandMode(ExpandMode.MULTI); alc.add(cp); alc.add(cp2); panel.add(alc); }
I've been trying to replicate the steps, but I have a feeling I'm missing a step or two to produce what was going on. Do you think you could provide more precise snippet of source to produce the issue? Or can you reproduce this in the sample above?
I ran these in both GXT 3.0.1 and in the latest, 3.0.5.
Thanks for your help,

I tried your example and could not reproduce the issue - I think if HTML is added to the ContentPanel it is not a problem. In my code I have a Tree added to the ContentPanel, and that is where I see the issue. I modified your example to use a Tree instead of HTML and was able to reproduce. Can you try this? I also do not have a height set on the ContentPanel (with a height set there doesn't seem to be a problem).
24 Jun 2013 12:19 PM #8
rondestvedt, can you share the test sample you've used to reproduce it? In addition to the sample above, we tried the example at http://www.sencha.com/examples/#Exam...ccordionlayout but gave each item much longer text to try to get the issue. From Brandon's reply:
I've tried modifying the sample AccordianLayoutExample.java and noticed it produced a scroll and tried IE7,8 & 9 but didn't see any growth on mouse hover.
String s = "A:testtesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttestB:testtesttesttest~~~"; store.add(m, newItem("Darrell" + s, "user")); store.add(m, newItem("Maro" + s, "user-girl")); store.add(m, newItem("Lia" + s, "user-kid")); store.add(m, newItem("Alec" + s, "user-kid")); store.add(m, newItem("Andrew" + s, "user-kid"));
If you can reproduce it with that sample, then our testing must be off, and you can clarify for us. If you *cannot* reproduce it, then it isn't just the Tree+Accordion that causes it, and either you can make the example more closely fit your case, or you can share your own case so that we can see this in action.
25 Jun 2013 12:44 PM #9
I was able to reproduce in AccordionLayoutExample.java. The only change needed, in addition to your previous snippet to force the scrollbar, was to set the ExpandMode on the AccordionLayoutContainer to ExpandMode.MULTI. As soon as I hover over an item in the tree, the rest of the Content Panels below move out of view. Collapsing and re-expanding "Online Users" fixes the issue until hovering over again. See screenshots below.
25 Jun 2013 3:06 PM #10
Thanks for taking the and digging deeper. I was able to reproduce it with ExpandMode.Multi. I'll get this fixed and up date this thread when I do.

Is there such a thing as Mezonos bread?
Sign up

There is much controversy on the legitimacy of Mezonos "bread". Both Rabbi Pinchos Bodner and Rabbi Forst discuss this topic at length in their books (Halachos of Brochos and Laws of B'rachos, respectively). The latter seems to conclude along the lines of jutky's answer, but there are various qualifications that the ingredients of the bread must meet... CYLOR.
On a lighter note: there's Mandelbread, Rice Bread (made only with rice - not wheat, etc.), and possibly others, which only require Mezonos.
Sefardim make a mezonos on matzoh (except on Pesach) which is considered bread by Ashkenazim (and Sefardim on Pesach). So there you have it: Mezonos? Bread.
When you get a meal on the plane there is sometimes a "mezonos" sticker on the roll.
But you should really make a "mezonos" if you eat just the roll itself without other things, but since there you also eat garnish some poskim say you make a "המוציא" on the roll.
With regards to mzonos in general, The Alter Rebbe writes in Hilchos Birckas Hanehenin (in the Siddur) it says:
1) If he eats less than 4 eggs and is full, wash on other bread.
2) If he eats less than 6 eggs, then if he is not full, one could say a mzonos. If he is full, he must say a bracha on this bread.
3) If he eats 6 eggs to half an Isarron, and he is not full, one must wash on other bread,
4) More than half an Issaron, one must wash on this bread alone.
The judgement of "is one full" on this bread includes condiment (like) the meat and eggs one eats with this bread.
Therefore, unless you eat less than 4 eggs, and you are not full from it, you gain nothing (and may have to wash on other bread).
6 eggs is around 12 ounces according to A"Ch Noeh.
There's a great story involving R' Aharon Lichtenstein on an El-Al flight trying to get a permanent cup (which is a subject for another post) to wash his hands to eat his meal, which contained a "Mezonos roll". The flight attendant told him he didn't need to wash, and when he managed to obtain a cup and started washing, the same flight attendant adamantly insisted he really didn't need to wash and said, "If you don't believe me, ask a rabbi!"
Many Rabbanim don't like the idea of 'Mezonos bread' calling it a contradiction in terms.

In a kosher restaurant today, must the mashgiach (kosher inspector) spend 100% of his time watching everything, or can he do some other work in the restaurant? How much work? I know this may vary from kosher agency to kosher agency, so multiple answers ("I've seen this policy in my town") are fine.

I used to work for a few months as a mashgiach for a restaurant. The main issues I had to worry about were lighting the stove, putting eggs that needed to be boiled in the pot, and checking the vegetables (especially leafy vegetables and bunches of herbs). The cooking itself was done primarily by the owner of the restaurant and a couple of non-Jewish women he hired, so once that stuff was done, there wasn't much for me to do (technically, I could have just stayed in the kitchen to be sure noone was slipping some milk or bacon onto the grill, but I don't think any rabbi would expect that of a mashgiach unless there was genuine cause for concern).
Once I was done with my responsibilities in the kitchen, I usually helped set the tables, and when things got busy I would help clean off the tables as well (I guess they were worried about me dropping some plate that they never asked me to help SERVE the food).
I've seen in my town (Jerusalem) that many times mashgiach is making thing that are related to kosherness of the food. Like checking lettuce and rise for insects and so on. I'm talking about restaurants with that are supervised by BADAT"Z kosher agency.
In my experience, most agencies in america are strict in only allowing the Mashgiach to watch, or to do things that are related to his job, like washing lettuce, etc. Every kosher agency I have come in contact with requires a certified, trained Mashgiach to wash Lettuce, because, truthfully, it's not just washing the lettuce, it's also looking for bugs, and these bugs are VERY difficult to spot. Now, the reason why the bigger agencies in America only allow a watching Mashgiach is because, speaking from personal experience, it is exceedingly difficult to both work, and properly watch the kashrus of a place. (That being said it is also difficult to just stand around and not work, only watching the kashrus of a place.) These agencies do not want a conflict with which boss you should listen to. The best way, in my experience is to let the Mashgiach do his work, and any other work that keeps him from getting to bored, so he can pay attention better. Never overload the Mashgiach with work, and let him do things at a slow casual pace, so he can watch the kashrus, and at the same time get things done.
I have seen Mashgichim taking care of the register.
It is very common for the mashgiach to be put to work doing things not related to kosher food preparation, including many tasks - register, cleaning, serving, etc.

Anybody know which traits of bird plumage are accurate indicators of a birds health? For example feather coloration, feather brightness, amount of feather wear, number of feathers, moult timing, moult duration etc.
This resource provides a short list of which general components of plumage are good indicators of a healthy bird.
Also, this website page discusses the signs of malnutrition or disease in plumage in more detail.
Stress bars, dark lines which transect a feather, are directly caused by an inefficient absorption or lack of required nutrients. Stress bars can be found on all feathers during the period of malnutrition, and remain even after this period.
Assymetrical moulting is also a sign of bad health. There should not be any bald patches present during the moult.
The resource states that if a moult is delayed due to malnutrition, an incorrect photoperiod or a metabolic problem, plumage will become depigmented. However, the appearance of "dirty" feathers can also be due to overpreening or damage done to feathers by physical contact.
Finally, a change in the usual plumage color of the bird in question is indicative of a lack or oversupply of a particular nutrient.

The good: I try to read as much as possible - I would like to understand the world, as ongoing learning, as professional and personal development, just because I like it.
The bad: I am a slow reader, I don't like speed reading because I want to concepts and topics to sink in and I like to understand them and visualize. Which means it takes me a long time (a month or 2 months) to finish one book.
Since my overall goal is to be a well-rounded knowledgeable person, what is the solution to this? Is it reading multiple books at one time? Or is it best to simply take it at my own pace? Any advice appreciated, thank you.

Suppose I have a central extension $1 \to U(1) \to \hat{G} \to G \to 1$ of a topological group $G$ by the circle group $U(1)$ in such a way that $\hat{G} \to G$ is a principal $U(1)$-bundle. Moreover, suppose that $G$ is $3$-connected. In particular, $\hat{G} \cong G \times U(1)$ as topological spaces.
Is the $3$-connectedness of $G$ enough to deduce that $\hat{G} \cong G \times U(1)$ as topological groups?
Such a central extension is described by a class in continuous group cohomology, but I can't see whether the connectedness of $G$ is any help in proving that this class is actually trivial.
In my case, $\hat{G}$ and $G$ are Banach Lie groups. So, feel free to assume that as well.

Voters in the Northern Panhandle returned four to the West Virginia Legislature, re-electing Democrat Jack Yost of Wellsburg to the state Senate and Democrats Randy Swartzmiller of New Cumberland and Ronnie Jones of Weirton to the state House of Delegates.
They also elected Phil Diserio, a Democrat of Follansbee, to the seat in the House of Delegates for which he was appointed earlier this year.
Yost defeated Republican challenger Pat McGeehan of Chester for a seat representing the 1st Senate District, which includes Hancock, Brooke and Ohio counties and part of Marshall County.

Yost received 5,337 votes in Hancock County, 6,324 votes in Brooke County, 9,906 votes in Ohio County and 650 votes in Marshall County, for a total of 22,217. McGeehan received 6,356 votes in Hancock County, 2,702 votes in Brooke County, 6,893 votes in Ohio County and 556 votes in Marshall County, for a total of 16,507.
All totals are unofficial until ballots are canvassed.
Yost said, "I appreciate the vote of confidence. I'm very humbled and prepared to go to work."
He said issues he hopes to address in the upcoming legislative session include identifying funding for much-needed repairs to the state's highways and roads and overcrowding in prisons. He said the latter is an economic concern, as well as a social one, because counties paid nearly $50 per day for each inmate they send.
Swartzmiller and Jones were re-elected to seats representing the 1st Delegate District, which includes Hancock County and part of Brooke County.
Swartzmiller received 7,588 votes in Hancock County and 1,399 votes in Brooke County, while Jones received 5,733 votes in Hancock County and 1,340 votes in Brooke County. Their Republican challengers were Carl Thompson of Weirton, who received 4,061 Hancock County votes and 1,024 Brooke County votes; and Justin Bull of Weirton, who received 2,879 Hancock County votes and 738 Brooke County votes.
Jones noted the portion of Brooke County served by the two has grown with redistricting by the state Legislature earlier this year, a move that also resulted in Brooke County losing one of its two House seats.
For that reason, Jones, who also serves as a Weirton city councilman, said he and Swartzmiller must ensure the needs and concerns of Brooke County residents are addressed.
Jones, who will begin his second term in the House in January, said, "I really love my job. It's been a really good experience. I'm happy the voters voted to give me a second term."
Swartzmiller, who will enter his seventh term in the House, said, "I'm very humbled by the continued support I received tonight."
He said he will continue to be a voice for local residents and businesses, see that the state's budget is balanced and its debt reduced.
Swartzmiller said, "The Northern Panhandle is well positioned for economic development, but we need to free up some property, such as unused Weirton Steel sites. Creating opportunities for development and jobs has always been a top priority for me."
Diserio was appointed by Gov. Early Ray Tomblin to fill a seat representing the 2nd Delegate District, which includes Brooke County and part of Ohio County, following the resignation of Tim Ennis, who left to become Brooke County commissioner.
Diserio received 3,325 votes in Brooke County and 81 votes in Ohio County, while Republican challenger Lynn Davis of Wellsburg received 2,972 votes in Brooke County and 174 votes in Ohio County.
Diserio said while he was disappointed by the lower support in Ohio County, he appreciates all who did support him. He said he will work to make economic development and job opportunities possible in the area.
