I don't think any difference in PATH setting for windows XP and windows 7 , you can set PATH either from command prompt or windows GUI. PATH is a operating system variable where it look for commands and executable. when you run java program you execute "java" command whose binary lies in JAVA_HOME/bin directory , if that directory is not included in PATH than Operating System will not find it and throw "not recognized as internal or external command"

In fact java.exe and javaw.exe are copied into your %systemroot% under windows on jre installation,
you won't see any additional path entries while java will be available from command line this way

The major in Biological Sciences prepares students for careers in the health professions, teaching, forestry, agriculture, environmental protection and conservation, wildlife biology, biotechnology, basic research and many other fields.
In addition, learning how living systems function increases students' ability to take better care of their own health and environment, as well as that of their families and communities.
The benefits mentioned above would certainly apply to a person who concluded his or her higher education at the A.S. level. However, the major in Biological Sciences is primarily intended for students who plan to transfer to a four-year institution. Students with an interest in biology who do not intend to transfer to a four-year institution and earn a Bachelor's Degree are encouraged to look into some of the other career programs offered by the Biological and Health Sciences Division, which can be found at: /bio/programs.php Students who already have a Bachelor's Degree can meet the biology requirement for medical school by taking Biology 1A, 1B, and 1C.

After a long delay in acitvity, Panther Rules has returned just in time for the upcoming 2013 Carolina Panthers season. As the Panthers suit up for their first pre-season game against the Chicago Bears, I will be preparing a handful of stories and analysis to share with you. In the upcoming weeks the site will catch up on all the offseason moves featuring the return of "Meet the Rookies" as well as a closer look at some of the other newcomers acquired through free agency. Other features to look forward to as we move along into the season include a NFCS season preview, pre-game and post-game analysis, and breakdown of individual performances.
Continuing our look at the Panthers draft picks, we will now move onto the team's fourth round selection of Oklahoma DE Frank Alexander. This was an interesting pick because Alexander could see himself playing more than a few snaps per game in his rookie season and could very well be a starter at some point in his career. How will he fit into the Panthers' system, though?We will take a look at that after the jump.no comments
There will be up to seven new faces in Charlotte this fall as the Panthers have made their draft picks and over the next couple of days, we take a closer look at these players so that you all can become more familiar with them. We will look at who they are, what their strengths are and what holes they fill on the team. To start things off, let's examine the Panthers second round pick, Amini Silatolu.
Quick Facts:
Amini Silatolu
Position: OT/G
School: Midwestern State University
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 320
Who is Amini Silatolu?
Silatolu has been described by most scouts as a strong offensive lineman "with a mean streak." He has shown to be very aggressive on opposing defensive lineman and always manages to finish his blocks. He impressed a lot of people at the NFL Draft Combine with his performance in the speed and agility drills as he proved to be very agilie for a lineman. That combined with his strength and on-field performance won him over with a lot of scouts and there were some who projected him going in the first round.
He was part of a very strong offense at Midwestern State as they had the second best rushing offense among Division II schools and their strong offensive line was part of the reason for that. Midwestern State also averaged the highest amount of rushign yards per attempt in the nation. To add to that, Midwestern State had one of the best offensive lines in terms of pass protection as they allowed less than one sack per game last season.
Now, these stats do not tell you everything about Silatolu because there were obviously other factors that contributed to Midwestern State's strong rushing offense, there is only so much game tape available on Silatolu so these stats do help judge his performance a little. The raw talent is certainly there and the fact that he played a big part of the team's offensive line is also a good sign.
The questions surrounding him are mostly centered around his academic and off-the-field performance, but something else that might worry people is how he will perform against stronger competition. Midwestern State was one of the best Division II schools in the nation, but the level of competition there is obviously weaker than that in Division I programs. Opposing team's defensive lines will be a lot tougher to handle in the NFL and it will be interesting to see if Silatolu will be up to the challenge. He has the size and athleticism to be very successful in the NFL, though.
Why did the Panthers draft him?
Something that was overlooked by a lot of people was that Travelle Wharton was cut for monetary and cap purposes, and he was a very effective run blocker over the years. If the Panthers left this position unaddressed, they would be starting Mike Pollak at LT and that would be a severe downgrade. Having a rookie start in Wharton's place is also a downgrade but Silatolu has a ton of potential and can easily become a solid starter in the Panthers' system.
Something else to remember is that Jeff Otah has finished the last two years on IR and he is becoming very undependable at the RT position. The Panthers need some insurance there and drafting Silatolu gives them that. It was a little unexpected to see the Panthers take an offensive lineman with quite a few defensive tackles available, but they had other needs and Silatolu's potential was too good to pass up at #40.
In short, this is a very safe and solid pick for the Panthers, much like their 1st round selection, Luke Kuechly.no comments
The Panthers decided to play it safe and take the best guy available in LB Luke Kuechly in the first round, which was a fantastic selection but there are still other needs which need to be addressed. Fortunately for the Panthers, there were some teams that reached in the first round, leaving some very talented players still on the board and Carolina could easily grab one of them with their second round pick.
The way that I see it, the Panthers have big needs at defensive tackle, defensive tackle (for pass rush), corner back and wide receiver and they can take steps to filling those holes with their pick at #40. Who are the players available right now? We will take a look at some of them after the jump.no comments
The Carolina Panthers linebacking corps received a significant upgrade last night as the team spent their first round selection on Boston College linebacker Luke Kuechly. I had mentioned a couple weeks ago that Kuechly could possibly be the best player available at #9 and that ended up being true as the Panthers ended up taking them with their first round pick.
It was a little interesting to see the Panthers spend a top 10 pick on a linebacker as they already have a decent corps with Jon Beason, Thomas Davis and James Anderson, but this pick makes a lot of sense when you take a deeper look at it. Kuechly was easily the safest pick that the Panthers could have made at the time as it appears that he has a future in the NFL no matter what and while LB might not be as big of a need for the Panthers as DT, WR or CB, it was an area that they needed to address in this draft.
For starters, Thomas Davis' health is a huge concern as he is coming off knee surgery for the third straight year. Kuechly is versatile in that he can play all three linebacking positions, so he provides solid insurance for Davis if he gets injured. Another thing is that there have been hints of the Panthers moving to a 3-4 type system next season, so even if Davis is still injured, Kuechly will find himself starting in this defense. Instead of reaching for a player who may or may not fill one fo their other holes on defense, they took the best player available in Kuechly who will be a key contributor to the Panthers defense immediately.
I talked about Kuechly a little bit a couple weeks ago, and there really isn't much to dislike about this kid. He knows the game well, is solid in both run and pass defense, is excellent at closing in on opposing ball-carriers and usually succeeds at bringing him down. Most draft scouts have compared him to the likes of London Fletcher, Zach Thomas, Pat Angerer and even Brian Urlacher. The Panthers will likely be happy with their pick if he ends up similar to any of those players.
He played MLB and WLB at Boston College, but he is open to play an linebacker position in the NFL and he could find himself spread out among the defense depending on who is healthy. Kuechly also played some special teams in college, which also fills a need for the Panthers.
In the end, Kuechly is a safe pick for the Panthers and he should be a solid contributor to their defense at the very least. They may have had other needs that need to be addressed, but they can be addressed in later rounds as there are still some very good players available. Kuechly should be an impact player in his rookie season and Marty Hurney should be very satisfied with the decision he made.no comments
Something that has come up recently in the news is that the Panthers are showing interest in drafting Boston College linebacker Luke Kuechly. He has reportedly visited with the team and the coaching staff seems to like what he brings to the table. Keuchly is a terrific player and would be a nice addition to just about any team drafting him, but there haven't been a lot of Panthers fans that are on board with taking him.
Why is that? For one, he is a linebacker and will probably be taken in the first round given his impressive college stats and work at the combine. The general consensus is that the Panthers are set at linebacker and don't need to add another one, especially in the first round, when they have bigger needs to address. If they are going to run the 4-3 again, the linebacking corps is set with Jon Beason in the middle, James Anderson in the SAM spot and Thomas Davis at WILL linebacker.
Carolina would be strengthening their defense by drafting Keuchly but they would be just adding to a position of wealth while their defensive line and secondary will be relatively weak. However, there are some logical reasons for the Panthers drafting Keuchly, the main one being that he could be the best player available at #9 in the draft.
We will talk about this more after the jumpno comments
We will be continuing to take a closer look at players in the draft that the Panthers might be targeting and our next feature is on Virginia Tech corner back Jayron Hosley. The Panthers need for a #2 corner has been well documented and Hosely could very well fill that void as he has established himself as one of the ACC's top corners during his three seasons at VT. Most scouts have him listed as the fifth best corner in the draft and see him being picked in no later than the second round. Is he the right fit for Carolina, though? We will explore that and take a closer look at Hosley's game after the jump.no comments
It's no secret that the Panthers will heavily address the defensive side of the ball in the upcoming NFL draft. The real question is, where do they start? The 2011 season featured a defense that was very thin and struggled to stop opposing offenses, both in the air and on the ground. Due to the lackluster performance, the Panthers ranked near the bottom of league in almost every defensive category. With a top 10 pick in this year's draft, Carolina has the opportunity to pick up a dynamic player who can come in and make an immediate impact on the defense.
The Panthers don't have to look far to find that impact player. Quinton Coples, from the University of North Carolina, is a local prospect with freakish athletic ability and the prototypical size and stature for a defensive end in the NFL. While many believe DT or CB are bigger needs for the defense, one could argue that a more effective pass rush will take pressure off these positions.
Last season, the Panthers only recorded 31 sacks, ranking 25th in the league. Teams were able to focus on the team's best pass rusher Charles Johnson due to the inexperienced DTs and lack of consistency from Greg Hardy on the other side. Factor in injuries at the LB position and the pass rush was, at times, non-existent. Opposing quarterbacks often had an excessive amount of time to throw the ball, leaving the secondary exposed and vulnerable.
Coples has shown throughout his college career that he is more than capable of being a dominant pass rusher. However, many question his motor or desire to play due to his somewhat underwhelming senior season. After the jump, we will take a closer look at Coples' impressive skill set as well as some of his weaknesses.no comments
According to Jordan Senn's twitter, the Panthers have opted to re-sign the linebacker to terms unknown. Senn was signed off waivers towards the end of the 2009 season and he's primarily been a special teams player since then. However, after a plethora of injuries to the team's linebacking corps, Senn started seven games as the team's weakside linebacker last season and filled in admirably.
He had 66 tackles in the seven games he started last season and 71 overall. He also had an interception and forced three fumbles. That is a very impressive line for a guy who was a third stringer beforehand. The team lost some depth with Dan Connor signing with the Dallas Cowboys, so keeping Senn around is a good move, especially after the way he played at the end of last season.
Senn is a very solid run defender, but pass coverage is the one area that he struggles in, and he was forced to play that role a lot as the team's weakside linebacker. In the game against Tampa Bay where I tracked pass coverage stats, every ball thrown Senn's way was caught and he allowed a few first downs, as well. I expect this to be an area that he works on during the off-season but he's 27 and pretty small for a linebacker so his ceiling probably isn't too high.
Still, keeping Senn around is a good move for the Panthers because the team knows that they can count on him to fill in if one of their linebackers goes down. It'll be even better if he can improve his pass coverage skills.no comments
In the weeks leading to the draft, we are going to be taking a look at some players the Panthers might be targeting. With the team having so many needs on defense, there's a lot of players who Carolina might be interested in. The purpose of this series is to help you, the readers, become more familiar with these picks and determine if they are a good fit for the Panthers or not.
To start things off, we are going to look at one of the somewhat local favorites, Stephon Gilmore from the University of South Carolina. Anyone who watched the Panthers last season knows that the team needs to strengthen their pass defense. Outside of Chris Gamble, they don't have any corners that are starting material. Captain Munnerlyn and Darius Butler would make good nickel and dime options but their play last season showed that they are not starters. Opposing quarterbacks could easily make Gamble not as much of a factor by picking on one of these two instead, which is why a #2 corner is needed. Gilmore is one of the players the Panthers have shown interest in and is projected to be a late first/early second round pick, so it's very possible that we could see him in Charlotte next year.
Is Gilmore a right fit for the Panthers, though? After the jump, we'll take a look at Gilmore's strengths, weaknesses and attributes to determine if he is someone the Panthers should target.no comments

Keys to Engaging Older Adults @ your library
Tips and tools on assisting older adults from the ALA Office for Literacy and Outreach Services
Key Terms
Here is a list of terms used by the aging population to address day-to-day living, care, and community resources.
Aging in place: The ability to live in one's own home – wherever that might be – for as long as confidently and comfortably possible. Livability can be extended through the incorporation of universal design principles, care options, and other assistive technologies.
Assistive technology (AT): Any item or piece of equipment used to increase, maintain or improve the functional capabilities of aging individuals in all aspects of life. Assistive Technology includes everything from low tech reachers to high tech devices and adapted computers.

Elder law: Elder law is a specialty in legal practice, covering estate planning, wills, trusts, arrangements for care, social security and retirement benefits, protection against elder abuse (physical, emotional and financial), and other concerns of older people.
Encore careers: The term "encore careers" generally refers to people over 50 doing work that combines continued income/compensation with personal meaning and social impact – to meet society's biggest needs; paid work with a social purpose; often fills a need of experienced workers for meaningful, post-retirement work. See Service America Act (www.serviceamerica.org).
Hospice care: A care model that provides comfort and support to patients and their families when a life-limiting illness no longer responds to cure-oriented treatments; care is provided in the patient's home as well as in freestanding hospice facilities, hospitals, and long-term care facilities.
Independent and assisted living: Two models for aging adults are defined by state and federal regulations. These include: Adult day care, Independent living, Adult family care home, Assisted living facilities, Skilled nursing facilities, and Alzheimer's/Dementia/Memory care (http://www.seniorhousingnet.com/care-selection/glossary.aspx for definitions).
Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities: Neighborhoods,buildings/apartments and communities that gradually transitioned into living spaces where most of the population are older adults.
Nutrition sites: Organizations that offer meals to seniors at social and community centers including senior centers, churches, and schools. These congregate sites also offer seniors social interaction, mental stimulation, and community involvement.
Respite Care: Temporary relief from duties for caregivers, ranging from several hours to days. May be provided in-home or in a residential care.
Universal design: The design of products and environments to be usable by people of all ages and abilities, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for significant adaptation or specialized design.

FORMER Southend High School for Boys pupil Morgan Fox made his Charlton Athletic debut on Monday night and helped put the Addicks within a win of Wembley.
The 20-year-old was handed his first start in the fifth round of the FA Cup against Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsbrough.
And Fox – who is from South Woodham Ferrers – helped his team to a 2-1 win setting up a quarter final against League One side Sheffield United and denying Wednesday the chance of a Steel City derby.
Fox tweeted afterwards: "Thanks to everyone. Buzzing to make my debut. The lads were quality and battled right the way through."
Left-back Fox has only just returned from a loan spell at League One strugglers Notts County where he made his Football League debut.
He made seven appearances for the Magpies, scoring one goal against Colchester United, before being recalled by Charlton boss Chris Powell last month.
Fox is behind one of Charlton's star players, Rhoys Wiggins, in the pecking order at left back, but was on the bench as the Addicks inflicted a shock defeat on promotion-hunting QPR in the Championship on Saturday.
Wiggins aggravated an injury during that game which gave Fox his chance on Monday night and he took it with both hands.
Charlton now go to Brammall Lane to face Sheffield United on Saturday, March 8.
If they get through that tie they will be in a semi-final at Wembley.
Former Southend United star Powell, who is battling to save his side from relegation from the Championship, said: "Since being a player at the club in 1998 and since I have come back, we never do well in the cups. It is almost a running joke at Charlton.
"It's about time we turned it on its head."

ORLANDO, Fla. - In a matter of hours, a day of rallies will spread across central Florida and 100 cities across the country.
The vigils and rallies will call for change after the George Zimmerman not guilty verdict, one day after President Obama suggested a review of the Stand Your Ground law, and adding that Trayvon Martin could have been him 35 years ago.
"If a white male teen was involved in the same kind of scenario, that from top to bottom, both the outcome and the aftermath might have been different," said Obama. "Another way of saying that is Trayvon Martin could have been me."
Lawanna Gelzer rushed to make a last-minute poster for the rally Saturday.
"I think it's a rebirth of the civil right's movement," said Gelzer.
Gelzer is the Orlando chapter organizer for The Reveran Al Sharpton's National Action Network, which is calling for a "Justice for Trayvon" National Day of Action. Like rallies before, vigils will break out in "100 Cities" across the country.
Organizers said these rallies now have a clear purpose: To force the federal government to pursue federal civil rights charges against Zimmerman, and more.
Galzer said she and others hope that the Justice Department takes up the case and went on to say, "But just in case, we need to have a backup plan. We know that our Governor is saying no, that he believes in the Stand Your Ground law... He is a public servant, not a dictator -- so we're just going to vote him out."
At noon Saturday, several groups will host three rallies in central Florida. Among the "100 Cities" vigils held at Federal courthouses across the country, there is one vigil in Orlando.
After the protest outside Orlando's Federal courthouse, ralliers will head to an open forum at Mount Zion Missionary Baptist International Church on Washington Street. There, guest speakers will include local political leaders.
Another vigil will be in Daytona Beach at the Federal Court of Appeals building, and another group is hosting a rally in Sanford at Crooms Academy. Organizers are asking young people to come with a bag of skittles and wearing hoodies.
Trayvon Martin's family will not be at any of the events locally. Instead, his mother and brother will be at the vigil in New York and his father will be in Miami.

SWINDON Robins will have three representatives in Saturday's World Cup final after Troy Batchelor helped Australia progress from the Race-Off tonight.
The Swindon captain scored 11 from his five rides in Bydgoszcz, meaning he and Australia will take on Alun Rossiter's Great Britain team and Peter Kildemand and Denmark in the final.
The Aussies enjoyed a tussle with Sweden throughout an eventful meeting at the Polonia Stadium, eventually winning by 11 points, with Greg Hancock the event's top scorer with a 21-point maximum for USA as they finished third ahead of the Czech Republic.
Batchelor had to wait until heat four to get his meeting underway but made a superb start from the outside and rounded Josef Franc and Andreas Jonsson in the opening bend before storming away for victory.
Ride number two saw Batchelor make it to the first turn first where he was beaten out by Poole rider Vaclav Milik before eventually finishing second, but suffered a nightmare in his third outing as he finished last. Batchelor made the gate in heat nine and was looking for the cut back when he was chopped off by Thomas H Jonasson, leaving him stranded at the back.
Things got better in his final programmed as Batchelor barged past Kim Nilsson to take the victory, with Australia enjoying a huge slice of good fortune as Nilsson was excluded after the race finished for dangerous riding following a move on Eduard Krcmar.
The decision saw Sweden lose two points meaning the Aussies led by three with five races to go, with the victory secured by the end of heat 18 before Batchelor ended his night with victory over Milik in the final race.

|Primary Completion Date:
|June 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: micronutrient supplementation
All the enrolled subjects will recieve orally, onca a day, during school days a chocolate bar including vitamins and minerals.
The micronitrient supplementation will be consumed over 6 weeks, 5 days/week.
Dietary Supplement: micronutrient supplementation
Other Name: Nestrovit: white chocolate bar with vitamins and minerals
Detailed Description:
Despite the increasing incidence of overweight and obesity among children, nutritional deficiencies are still a concern.
A low intake of vitamins and minerals is associated with a reduction in the antioxidant capacity. Some vitamins are associated with chronic diseases including overweight and obesity.
S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) are the substrate and product of essential reactions; the SAM:SAH ratio has been associated with health and is an indicator of cellular DNA methylation potential.
Low level of this ratio may affect short and long term health. In this explorative knowledge building open interventional study, subject to be enrolled are children or adolescents 9 to 13 years of age per year (n=180 per year, over 2 years). The study consists of 6 weeks nutritional intervention followed by a 6 weeks follow up.
In this study, genomics, proteomics, lipidomics analysis will be performed, in addition to biochemistry, hematology and vitamins analysis.

16 Stars in Stripes
I love weddings: happy people coming together to celebrate in great clothes. Choosing what to wear should be part of the fun, but it can feel hard when you're worried about what's "right." Honestly, there are only a few things you have to remember: Never, ever wear white to a wedding; don't be too casual; and avoid showing too much skin (someone's new girlfriend always does, and it makes a bad first impression!). Beyond that, you have a lot of room to experiment. These looks are your starting point.

Metal legos streamline sampling and control
The new sampling and sensor initiative (NeSSI) delivers a smaller, smarter approach that is resulting in savings now, and improved process control soon. So where does NeSSI go from here?
INCREASING PRICE competition is forcing chemical companies to reduce capital and operating expenditures, and, of course, do it without compromising their plants reliability and performance. Easier said than done, perhaps, but the New Sampling/Sensor Initiative (NeSSI) for delivering process samples to analyzers can help make it happen.
Since it began about five years ago, NeSSI has driven the move to modularize and miniaturize process sampling systems. Presently operating under the Center for Process Analytical Chemistry (CPAC) at the University of Washington in Seattle, NeSSI started as a group of equipment manufacturers and operating companies.
The group initially sought to build on a standard for modular, surface-mounted systems in the semiconductor industry. It was modified for use in the oil, chemical and petrochemical industries by the SP76 working group of ISAthe Instrumentation, Systems and Automation Society. In 2002, the resulting design became the basis for the international ANSI/ISA-76.00.02 standard for sample flow control, conditioning and analysis. This modular standard basically requires compliant sampling systems to consist of a series of close-coupled, 1.5-in.-square manifolds, each carrying one of the components fastened to the substrate with four hex (Allen wrench) screws.
Saving Sugars Cubes
NeSSIs potential savings were first quantified in 2000 by an ExxonMobil team, which reported that plants switching to NeSSI could save 40% on their sample transport and conditioning system, and eliminate the need for climate-controlled housings. It also projected a 35% savings by reducing sample volumes, as well as carrying and purge fluids, and by requiring less maintenance and support.
After the field experiences with Generation I NeSSI systems, we now have a solid platform to build on, says Jeff Gunnell, lead specialist for process analytics with Scotland-based ExxonMobil Chemical. There has been one round of iteration [in design] since 2001, and these systems work fine in the field within a realistic operating window. ExxonMobil has 30 modular systems installed, including two sites in Baytown, Tex., and one in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. These systems sample hydrocarbon process streams, and are approaching Best Practice approval status at ExxonMobil. Were considering them for some major projects, and that could mean huge numbers of systems, adds Gunnell.
ExxonMobil adds its modular sampling systems come from two of the three main vendors supplying substrates and other flow components for ANSI/ISA-76.00.02-compliant systems. These are the Instrumentation Division of Parker Hannifin, Swagelok, and Circor Instrumentation Technologies.
In Swageloks MPC system, devices, such as valves, mount on substrate modules containing specialized channel and flow components.
While many of its Generation I modular-sampling are serving well worldwide, NeSSIs Generation II is moving beyond physical fluid handling to integrating the modular systems into plant control hierarchies.
Rob Dubois, another NeSSI member and senior analytical specialist at Dow Chemical, says many modular systems are used in ethylene-hydrocarbon and ethylene oxide production applications and on a continuous-emissions-monitoring system for NOX at his plant in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta.
"Technically, the NeSSI systems work well and many of the modular components that previously had been missing are now available or are coming to market, he says. However, implementation has been slower than hoped for due to higher costs when compared to conventional systems. Right now, were missing a single-block, combined flow transmitter/indicator, which would really simplify and ease construction. Analyzer systems may have become smart, but the sampling system remains archaic. Today, the industry uses a hodgepodge of analyzer I/O, PLCs, DCSs, databases and proprietary systems.
Generation II systems reportedly will solve this problem with a sensor/actuator manager (SAM) operating system, which will act as the communication channel between DCSs and analytical systems. Higher up, NeSSI systems communicate to the DCS using OPC over TCP/IP Ethernet, while Foundation Fieldbus (FF) is preferred at the field level. The CPAC/NeSSI steering committee incorporated FF into NeSSIs Generation II draft specification in February 2005 because its modular systems need FFs intrinsically safe operating capabilities.
This initiative will help the automation industry adapt the merging class of lab on a chip sensors to a miniature/modular smart manifold, says Mel Koch, CPACs ditector.
Dubois adds that Dows systems are operated on a local level, but once the intrinsically safe NeSSI bus is commonplace and supporting sensors and actuators are available, users will see tighter integration of the sample systems. Some major analytical vendors are now embracing the NeSSI vision, and are adopting both the fluid handling components, as well as the NeSSI-bus/SAM. Actually we have two possible buses: a miniaturized version of FF, which is work in progress, as well as an upcoming version of controller area network bus (CANbus) being undertaken by NIST and IEEEs 1451.6 effort.
Acceptance, Applications Growing
All three companies report theyre making inroads into the process analytical market, and claim doubling sales each quarter. There is a consensus that NeSSI has arrived, says Dave Simko, Swageloks marketing resources manager. Companies using NeSSI systems have shown that the cost savings are real. Although component cost is higher, savings in design time and manufacture generate 30% net savings.
Swageloks Modular Platform Components (MPC) system (See Figure 1 above) consist of fluid-control components, including shut-off, needle, metering, toggle and check valves, and filters, which are mounted on a substrate layer of 1.5-in.-square modules containing specialized channel and flow components.
|Three-way flow paths required by sampling systems are intrinsically supported by Parker Hannifins Intraflow substrate system.
Parker adds another advantage of Intraflow is its support for the three-way flow paths required for sampling systems, while Swageloks MPC system has sequential flow components that define the flow path. Alternatively, the main flow path in Circors micro Modular Substrate Sampling System (μMS³) is actually external to the Lego-like substrates building blocks, passing through NuBlu tubesets mounted on the blocks.
Despite these gains, Gunnell adds there are limits to NeSSIs methods and technology. Youre not going to get the manufacturers of battleship-sized gas chromatographs (GCs) to change, but a modular sampling system can still sit side-by-side with the analyzer. Where does NeSSI go from here? Generation III systems will doubtless offer added functions, such as Kochs lab on a chip and wireless communications, making them even easier to install and operate.

In DN 20, the Buddha describes certain yakkhas and appears to name some specific mountains where these yakkhas live.
What do you all make of Buddhist mythology, like this, in general? If we were to go to some of these mountains with lots of scientific equipment, would we find anything? Why don't we see yakkhas, gandabbhas, etc., the way that they seemed to see them so often in Buddhist scriptures?

DENVER—After Texans quarterback Matt Schaub was drilled by Broncos linebacker Joe Mays, who was called for a personal foul for a helmet-to-helmet hit, he left the game for one play in the third quarter.
Schaub was holding his helmet as he left the field, but it wasn't because his head hurt; it was because his ear was cut and bleeding.

"I felt fine. I just lost a piece of my ear," Schaub said after the Texans' 31-25 victory. "I was bleeding, and my helmet came off so I had to come out for a play, but I was fine."
Schaub missed one play and returned to lead the Texans to a field goal and a touchdown in the win. Afterward, he had an X-ray on his sore right shoulder that was negative.
Schaub will be ready to play next Sunday against Tennessee.

I could really use some insight or wisdom regarding how to make yourself strong enough to resist temptations and follow the five precepts with joy rather than constantly being bested by my inner demons. I feel that through meditation I've enabled myself to see when my intentions are bad, but cannot overpower the hunger they bring into me. The worst of it is in the morning, my mind is so cloudy and foggy that my first thoughts are immediately (I need a smoke), which leads to caffeine which leads to alcohol.
Are there any teachings that centre around temptations like these that might shed some light on the situation and help me advance back onto the path?

In the wake of this, the American public is voicing its loud and determined protest. For we are a nation not only war weary, but after continuous engagement over two administrations and 12 years of heavy commitment of our armed forces, we are a nation increasingly conscious of the risks of further military action in a region that seems to perpetuate warfare and for which peace and stability is but at times all too fanciful and fleeting a notion.
Before he became president in 2000, candidate George W. Bush promised he would not invest our nation's military in the endless and at times hopeless task of nation building. Through two terms in office, and countless billions of dollars spent and thousand of American lives lost, George Bush left behind the legacy of two wars, two worn, torn countries whose weak and unstable governments would not assure stability let alone establish a bright path of prosperity and democracy.
His successor, Barack Obama, while though ending direct American military involvement in one Middle East country, has in large part remained on an active path of engagement, which has only brought further instability and turmoil to a region neither in need of or lacking of either.
In short, rather than building upon a successful path of American diplomacy, furtive action against the Assad regime in Syria can and has rightfully been seen by most Americans as only a dangerous continuation of a failed attempt by America, and at times its Western European allies, to remake the Middle East with its ancient tribal cultures, into societies which accept the standards of civilization of America and Europe.
Crusades centuries ago failed to bring this about, and modern American military technology in the form of cruise missiles stand little chance of changing that as well.

Jakarta: Floods in Indonesia's capital Jakarta have left at least 11 people dead and two missing, authorities said Friday as murky brown waters submerged parts of the city's business district, causing chaos for a second day.
The capital's worst floods in five years have forced 18,000 people from their homes, the nation's disaster agency said, with many ferried to temporary shelters on rafts.
"Floods are occurring still and since 15 January, 11 people have died, five of which from electrocution," said National Disaster Mitigation Agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho.
Among the dead were two children aged two and 13, said Nugroho, adding that although waters were receding, 8% of the capital was still inundated and a city-wide state of emergency would apply until 27 January.
Jakarta police spokesman Rikwanto, who goes by one name, said that two men had been trapped since Thursday morning in a flooded parking lot in the capital's business district.
"According to their colleagues who managed to escape, when the waters came, the two men did not take it seriously and stayed in the basement until waters came suddenly and submerged the whole basement," he told AFP.
"Rescuers are still struggling to search for them. We started this morning pumping the waters out of the flooded basement," he said, adding that 2,781 police had been deployed to help assist victims from the floods.
At least four scuba divers were also helping to locate the missing, according to an AFP correspondent.
The flooding caused chaos in Jakarta's upmarket downtown district, causing hours-long traffic jams as motorists struggled to get to work. Drivers could be seen standing miserably in raincoats, waiting for their flooded cars to be towed away. Other vehicles lay abandoned by the side of the road.
At the landmark Hotel Indonesia traffic circle, surrounded by office towers and five-star hotels, the brown floodwaters continued to swirl, forcing the nearby British, German and French embassies to remain shut.
By afternoon though, much of the waters had receded, leaving the area around the Grand Hyatt and upmarket shopping centres caked in mud.
A spokeswoman for the Mandarin Oriental said that despite the flooding, the hotel had seen a surge in demand for rooms from well-to-do clientele prevented from going home by the waters.
Jakarta, home to 20 million people, is notorious for its traffic-clogged streets, but the floods brought a new dimension to the commute.
"It took me two hours to get to work," said Shinta Maharani, whose home is just seven kilometres (four miles) from her office. "I had to abandon the motorbike taxi and walk for 40 minutes because the road ahead was submerged."
Many train and bus routes serving the city centre were also suspended.
The floods were the worst to hit the capital since 2007, when about 50 people were killed and more than 300,000 were displaced.
Even the presidential palace was inundated by the waters on Thursday, with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono pictured in the grounds in rolled-up trousers.
Authorities raised the flood alert to its highest level Thursday, warning that the torrential rains would not subside until the end of the week.
Indonesia is regularly afflicted by deadly floods and landslides during its wet season, which lasts around half the year, and many in the capital live beside rivers which periodically overflow. AFP

I'm from the Akron/Cleveland area, Medina to be specific. I'm gonna start planning a trip to see some courses outside the area, and thinking of going up to Michigan in the spring. The plan would be to drive up for a long weekend and hopefully stay around 1 general area and hit up a few courses.
So what would be the best area of Michigan for this as well as the best courses in that area? I'm not necessarily looking for the hardest courses out there, but challenging is a good thing. The players will be in the high rec/intermediate skill range.
Any tips on a good time of year, things to prepare for, or places to stay, places to eat, etc would be much appreciated.
I tend to enjoy wooded courses far more than long wide open ones. For those familiar with NE Ohio courses, I would prefer Massillon and Roscoe Ewing/Medina over Deis Hill/Dover.
Thanks in advance!

SANTA CRUZ -- The Santa Cruz Mountains simply provide too many extraordinary white wines to pass up due to dropping temperatures.
While most people tend to gravitate towards a glass of red or a snifter of whiskey during the chillier season, winter wonderment can also be found in a glass of chardonnay, pinot gris or sauvignon blanc.
"I think if you have a white that has enough personality, it works in the winter," said Lois Sones of Sones Cellars in Santa Cruz.
The trick? With the right pairing and temperature control, white wine may just replace your go-to seasonal selections.
Palette cleanser
Sure, a delicate, chilled glass doesn't sound like the ideal choice to warm up. But switch up your point of view; a crisp pinot gris may be just what the doctor ordered when eating a heavy, hearty holiday meal.
"White wines, especially nice dry white wine, has the ability to compliment a meal," said Steve Storrs of Storrs Winery in Santa Cruz. "In more technical terms, it has the ability to cut through and cleanse the palette; red wine is more complimentary.
"White wine has acidity, which people sort of look at as a negative, but it has the ability to cut through the fats," Storrs said. "It can be a palette rejuvenator."
Still, you want your wine to have enough character when the temperatures drop, said Shannon Flynn, director of operations for the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association.
"This time of year, I might be going for a chardonnay that's a bit meatier, not the crisp apple that you might go for in the summertime," Flynn said.
Perfect pairing
After choosing a Santa Cruz white that balances bite with refreshing qualities, what food should you eat?
Storrs recommends pairing a glass of Storrs Winery's chardonnay ($23-$30), sauvignon blanc ($18), white riesling ($15-$16) or gewürztraminer ($15-$16) with richer foods.
"It would be great with a risotto, or any kind of pasta with a white sauce such as alfredo," Storrs said. "Anything heavier with a crisp Santa Cruz Mountains chardonnay."
Sones also prefers to pair their Canción del Mar ($21) -- a blend of pinot gris, torrontés, viognier and sauvignon blanc -- with creamier dishes such as fondue.
"Fondue works in the winter because it's so warming; it just calls out for winter," Sones said. "I can imagine drinking white wine in the winter, but I can't imagine having cheese fondue in the summer."
Storrs has an absolute favorite pairing, though, and it happens to be seasonal: fresh crab with their Canción del Mar.
"Some winter pairings are perfect, and what I think of immediately is crab and Canción," Sones said. "They just dance; they're a match made in heaven."
Temperature control
In order to create the perfect meal, though, the wine needs to be served at the perfect temperature. The ideal setting is cellar temperature, which is 55 to 60 degrees, said Dave Moulton of Burrell School Vineyards and Winery in Los Gatos.
"It achieves the best aromas and flavors," Moulton said.
The temperatures can vary slightly, however, which should be dictated by the selection and personal taste.
"I think it depends on the wine," Sones said. "Going to chardonnays, I think one of the kind of big, oaky, buttery chardonnays I prefer at cellar temperature, slightly cool. Like a red, I think it loses a lot of flavor chilling down."
Some other Santa Cruz whites to chill at an optimal temperature? Try a chardonnay from Windy Oaks in Corralitos ($39) or Burrell School Vineyards and Winery ($20), or a glass of sparkling white using the methode champenoise from Equinox Wines. The Santa Cruz business uses an in-house tirage bottling line, where they can bottle up to 16,000 bottles per day.

Roast chicken with lemon and croutons
Roasting Hen (4-5 lbs), preferably air-chilled like Mary's
2 yellow onions, quartered
Olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
3 Meyer lemons, quartered
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 cups French or sourdough bread cubes
2-3 garlic cloves, smashed and halved
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Remove giblets and other extraneous parts from chicken and reserve for another use.
2. Wash the hen inside and out with cold water and then pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the inside of hen with salt.
3. Place the quartered Meyer lemons into the cavity of the chicken with the garlic cloves. Toss the sliced onions with olive oil and place in the bottom of the roasting pan.

Cheese Fondue
1/2 pound imported Swiss cheese, shredded
1/2 pound Gruyere cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cherry brandy, such as kirsch
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
Pinch nutmeg
Assorted dippers
1. In a small bowl, coat the cheeses with cornstarch and set aside. Rub the inside of the ceramic fondue pot with the garlic, then discard.
2. Over medium heat, add the wine and lemon juice and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually stir the cheese into the simmering liquid. Melting the cheese gradually encourages a smooth fondue. Once smooth, stir in cherry brandy, mustard and nutmeg.
3. Arrange an assortment of bite-sized dipping foods on a lazy Susan around fondue pot. Serve with chunks of French and pumpernickel breads. Some other suggestions are Granny Smith apples and blanched vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and asparagus. Spear with fondue forks or wooden skewers, dip, swirl and enjoy.

The Back Nine comes at you after a wild weekend of turkey and touchdowns and the end of a very short offensive era at Florida. Take that any way you want to take it.
The Back Nine comes at you after a wild weekend of turkey and touchdowns and the end of a very short offensive era at Florida. Take that any way you want to take it.
10. The firing of Brent Pease was about as surprising as Miley Cyrus doing something stupid to bring attention to herself. Everyone knew it was coming and Pease had been thrown under the bus by so many people he could tell you whether the tires were Goodyear or Michelin. Some will look at him as a scapegoat, others will look at him as a guy who couldn't overcome all of the injuries Florida suffered and still others will say that Jared Lorenzen was right all along. Well, at least that's what the former Round Mound of Touchdown, who had conflicts with Pease at Kentucky, tweeted Sunday. "Again Gator Nation, I'm not a guy who says I told you so BUT …" A lot of people will tell you that we're about to find out how far Will Muschamp is willing to go as far as his offense goes, but the truth was Muschamp planned to have an offense this year very similar to what Urban Meyer ran with Tim Tebow at Florida. The injury to Jeff Driskel killed that and the other injuries kept ripping off the Band-Aids. "Perception isn't always reality," Muschamp said Saturday. This is still a line of scrimmage league. Just ask Auburn. But that doesn't mean you have to simply pound the ball and that was not the plan heading into this season. Last year, it was necessitated by a first-year starter at quarterback. We'll see who Muschamp hires, but here are two names you can cross of the lists of rampant media speculation — Kerwin Bell as offensive coordinator and Joe Wickline as offensive line coach. Just are not going to happen.
11. One injury that wasn't on defense that hurt Florida's offense that is never talked about was Marcus Roberson's ankle issue. The cornerback missed four games and played limited snaps in three others. As a result, Florida couldn't use Loucheiz Purifoy as much on offense. Purifoy only had his hands on the ball 10 times this season and two of them were interceptions (one rush, four kickoff returns, three punt returns). Even after a season that was nowhere near as good as his sophomore season, Purifoy has decided to take his red flag (suspension to start year) to the NFL. I'm sure he'll wow them at the combine and we all know that it's his life and his family that matters most, not our opinions on whether or not he's ready for the NFL.
12. The best analogy I can think of for what I wrote last week about preferring the NFL to college football is John Lennon's famous "Lost Weekend." The NFL was my May Pang. I'm sorry. I'm back. Last weekend might have been the best college football weekend in the history of the sport. I'm including games you're not talking about today such as Ole Miss-Mississippi State, Arkansas-LSU, Fresno State-San Jose State, Oregon-Oregon State and UCF-USF all before we got to Saturday. I guess the sport was saving everything up until the end of the season. Saturday was glorious. Forget everything I said last week. College football is still, by far, the best sport there is.
13. I can't help but wonder (and actually it was my wife who brought this up) if the finish in the Iron Bowl isn't going to change the way coaches look at really long field goals. Obviously, once the ball was fielded by now-legendary Chris Davis in the back of the end zone, there wasn't an athlete anywhere on the field to tackle him. You know who wins the fast guy vs. fat guys race every time. I was talking to Urban Meyer on Sunday and he said, "First thing we're going to do at practice is field goal return defense. We never practice that. People may say they do, but I doubt it." Alabama players said they do practice it during Friday walk-throughs, but never with a live returner. And it's so easy to get caught up in the moment and simply watch the kick, which is what Alabama's players did. Needless to say, there are plenty of SEC Championship Game tickets available on StubHub and eBay and other sites. If you are a Bama fan, could you sell your tickets to an Auburn fan after what happened? And is someone guarding the trees at Toomer's Corner?
14. So it appears college football's greatest streak is over with the SEC being locked out of the national title game. Well, not so fast my friend. FSU could lose to Duke in a lot of things, but football this season is not one of them. Michigan State has a salty defense that is probably the best in the country, but I just can't see Sparty scoring enough points to win that game. If both FSU and Ohio State win (remember who predicted that title game more than a month ago) is there a chance a one-loss Auburn or Missouri could jump over Ohio State and all the way to Pasadena? I don't think so. I don't think the people who vote (and the coaches do actually vote on the final coaches' poll) would do that to an Ohio State team that would be 25-0 over the last two seasons. Certainly, there are coaches who don't like Meyer and Harris pollsters who would look at the schedules and believe that a one-loss Auburn (Missouri has less of a chance if it wins) has a better resume than either FSU or Ohio State. But that one loss for Auburn was by two touchdowns and the anti-SEC backlash is a mountain too big to climb. Here's one that will make smoke come out of your ears. What if Missouri wins a lackluster SEC title game and Michigan State hammers Ohio State. Could Alabama work its way back into the title game? Yikes.
15. There is little doubt Jameis Winston has done everything on the field to win the Heisman Trophy. The other contenders have dropped off one-by-one and Braxton Miller is hurt by the fact that when he was injured, Ohio State didn't miss a beat. Because it appears no charges could possibly be filed before the Heisman voting ends Monday, voters will have to make their own decisions on Winston's character. I think there will be some who won't vote for him because of the off-the-field issue. But I still think he'll win easily. I'm still waiting until all of the games are over, but I have also made a decision — if the Heisman people are going to get after me for revealing my vote before ESPN can bring it to America, I'm not revealing it after the ceremony either. There, I win!
16. I know there were NFL games and college hoops games and other sports stories over the weekend that involved spilled drinks and coaches getting in the way, but they were simply side dishes to the main course that was college football. Talk about an emotional up-and-down weekend, Steve Spurrier watched his alma mater get plastered by the hated Semis, then watched his old team Duke win its division, then coached his team to its fifth straight win over Clemson and then found out that Missouri won to knock the Gamecocks out of Atlanta. I guess you can't have it all.
17. The Tweet of the Week comes from Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley — "You fake (expletive) bama fans stop sending threats to my teammate, you spoiled ******, respect what we do and know we all human! And that's REAL!" Mosley's was one of several sent out by Alabama players after placekicker Cade Foster was deluged with threatening tweets after his three misses against Auburn. I like what AJ McCarron said after the game, and sure enough, the sun did come up Sunday morning.
18. Thanks to the UF Bookstore for holding my final book signing of the season Saturday and thanks to all of the people who just stopped by to say hello and vote to keep the podcasts going. Some of them even liked my music suggestions. Try these downloads — "Stay In The Shade" by Jose Gonzalez, "Don't Say Oh Well" by Grouplove and for a deep old album cut "Outside Chance" by The Turtles.

Rosenthal finding groove after shaky start
MILWAUKEE -- Despite struggling for the first couple of weeks of the season, rookie right-hander Trevor Rosenthal quietly pitched well during the final two weeks of April.
Rosenthal has allowed only a single run over his last six appearances dating to April 18, and he pitched two hitless innings over two appearances on the just-concluded homestand.
"As a whole the bullpen went through some trials early on," Rosenthal said. "It's good to see now that everybody's kind of coming together and figuring some stuff out. That's what this game is about: Going through things and having to make adjustments."
Rosenthal, a starter in the Minor Leagues, was inserted into the eighth-inning setup role when Jason Motte's absence shuffled the bullpen responsibilities.
"It's definitely an adjustment," he said. "Every day you learn something new. Just being in the bullpen in general is something I'm not used to.
"It's just fun to be out there and compete, and be in different situations and see what I can do."

We recently discovered a winery in Navarre, Ohio that is call 'The Winery at Perennial Vineyards'. It produces several varietals such as Vidal blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet and more. There are daily wine tastings but they are closed on Monday.
They also offer a small menu of appetizers, gourmet flat breads, and pizza's.
Why not spend an afternoon visiting the winery and stay at Whispering Pines Bed & Breakfast in the evening.
You'll love both.
I'll look forward to seeing you soon,

Taxes are on everyone's minds, judging by the people dropping by the libraries for income tax forms, instructions and other resources. Be sure to call the respective branch to make sure it has the materials you need.
The library district will provide space for free tax help sessions in the coming months by Missouri State University students working with the ATLS Coalition.
The first two are 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 5, and 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 10 at the Midtown Carnegie Branch Library.
The students will provide free federal and state tax return preparation, e-filing, Missouri property tax credit, Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, and other required federal and state tax forms for low-to-moderate income families and individuals including those with disabilities, non-English speakers and older adults.
_ _ _
The library's final e-reader help sessions will be at 1:30 and 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 31, at the Brentwood Branch Library. They're popular sessions – others in the series have drawn 25 to 30 attendees.
Staff will explain which e-readers and other portable devices are compatible with the free OverDrive software on the library's website, and how to download books free from the library's collection.
Please note: Due to a policy dictated by Amazon, the Kindle is not compatible with any other download software including the library's. These sessions will not be useful for Kindle owners.

The library will partner this year with Missouri State University on a showcase event for the African American Read In Chain in late February on the MSU campus. But MSU plans two events this week that tie into Black History Month and the library's online Civil War collection, "Community & Conflict," ozarkscivilwar.org.

text: Music & Theatre 5 August 2008 An evangelical atheist Dawkins, in choosing a form of firebrand fundamentalist atheism over the discipline science, is no l By Carl Packman Sign up for our weekly email * Richard Dawkins is at it again - trying to wean the non-converted away from religion this time in his examination of The Genius of Charles Darwin, on Channel 4. In 2006, his brutal and beautifully convincing exegesis The God Delusion tormented those whom Dawkins described as holding "beliefs that flatly contradict demonstrable scientific facts". In this vein, the first of Dawkins' three programmes, aimed to show how we can live without the looming shadow of God, and enjoy a world that rests entirely upon the accuracy of natural selection - the hitherto most important discovery in science since time began. It's not very long before Professor Dawkins cuts to the chase and explains how utterly irrational and dangerous spiritual beliefs can be (indeed it was an amusing undertaking to see how long it was until Dawkins plunged his dagger once more into faith). Drawing upon the vacant menace of creationism and its sister theory intelligent design, Dawkins, in his inimitably composed manner, argued that hostility towards rationality, free thought, homosexuality and women still owes its persistence to medieval-esque subservience to theism, a vexation of science which should really have been promptly tossed away after the 18th century age of enlightenment, which Darwin himself was a prominent figure. Dawkins' simple yet elegant address of Darwinism will surely make the programme a success, yet his attack on religion still seems to be somewhat indistinct. One obvious problem for Dawkins is that he battles to hold two rather inharmonious positions; at once he is the scientist - disciplined in observation and objectivity. But also he is the emotionally charged evangelical atheist. Since the release of his bestseller, Dawkins has been unable to separate the two positions. Gone are the days of the professor dissecting halibut in front of an audience of pre-teens divided into those who are averting their squeamish gazes and those who can't for the life of them turn away. Now, even in his scientific capacity, Dawkins is belligerent. The God Delusion really marked the point where Dawkins transformed from the professor holding the Charles Simonyi Chair for the Public Understanding of Science to the celebrity fundamentalist atheist. In his capacity as a scientist his efforts should be directed at safeguarding the longevity of Darwinism which, with the unsettling figure given by the British Humanist Association that at least 40 UK schools teach creationism, has the potential to be under attack from certain organs of the religious community. But given his more demanding role as fundamentalist, cedes all religiosity as dangerous, thus quashing any potential union to debilitate the creeping infection that is intelligent design, a topic where moderate atheists and those of faith can meet eye to eye. Indeed, Darwinism is not under attack from the religiously moderate, so why is there need to slur them? The books by The Four Horsemen (Dawkins, Dennett, Harris, Hitchens) may well be trendy accessories (shown quite clearly by the numbers in their sales) but can they really solve the creationism-evolution argument in schools, or will they only create a small, solitary corner for themselves? It's quite clear that what the New Atheists are doing is lumping all the religious together in one bundle, just like the religious fundamentalists would do to atheists. Dawkins, in choosing to pursue a form of emotional firebrand atheism over the discipline of the scientist, is no longer the champion of reason, but an old problem this time on the other side of God. Even dyed-in-the-wall atheists like Bertrand Russell recognised a minimum of contribution religion has given to civilisation notably when he illustrated that religion informed "Egyptian priests to chronicle eclipses with such care that in time they become able to predict them." In the fight against religious fundamentalism, atheists need to embrace the moderate religious community; they may well find they have more in common than they'd care to admit.

I have to confess though, it was the adorable mozzarella pearls made by Bel Gioisio Cheese I found at Costco that really inspired this salad. If you're not familiar with fresh mozzarella, it's a very soft cheese that comes packed in brine. The "pearls" are tiny pieces about the size of marbles, and they were delicious with the tomatoes and fresh basil.
I tried the salad a few different ways, but I actually preferred it with plain old black olives from a can rather than with Kalamata or Spanish olives. I used the extra large sized olives.
Tomato, Olive, and Mozzarella Salad with Basil Vinaigrette
(Makes about 4 servings, recipe created by Kalyn)
1 can large black olives, cut in half (6 oz. olives after draining)
3 cups cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1 cup fresh mozzarella pearls, cut in half (or use regular fresh mozzarella and cut into pieces
1/2 cup vinaigrette dressing (I used my favorite vinaigrette, but any type of homemade or bottled vinaigrette that you like will work. A good choice would be Newman's Own Olive Oil and Vinegar Dressing, which is widely available and has only 1 gram of sugar.)
1/2 cup chopped or torn fresh basil leaves
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
