Donald Driver: 'I owe it to the fans to retire as a Packer'
New Orleans - For the longest time, nothing or no one could catch Donald Driver.
Not a small-school background or low-round draft status, not a half-dozen high-round draft picks brought in to take his job, not even the dreaded 30-year-old wall that catches up to so many skill players in the National Football League.
Even now, after playing in just 12.8% of the Green Bay Packers' snaps from scrimmage and catching eight passes for 77 yards and two touchdowns in 2012, Driver refuses to give in to the notion that Father Time has drawn even.
But after 14 seasons and 220 games including playoffs, Driver, who will turn 38 Saturday, has stopped running. At peace with the reality that the Packers weren't going to re-sign him and unwilling to put on another team's uniform, Driver announced his retirement Thursday.
"It was just time, sitting down with the wife and kids," said Driver, who was taking part in a charity event here at Super Bowl XLVII. "I've always said I never want to wear another uniform. I've always said that I owe it to the fans to retire as a Packer.
"I feel like I can still play, but if I can't play for my organization, then I can't play for anyone else. I'm happy with the decision I made."
The club will hold a retirement party open to the public at 11 a.m. Wednesday in the Lambeau Field Atrium.
Driver flashed his brilliant smile over and over again as he talked to a small group of reporters at the New Orleans Convention Center and never talked wistfully of his decision.
"It will be a little tougher on Feb. 6," he admitted. "I'm going to get emotional. I'm trying not to get too emotional today, but Feb. 6 I know I will be emotional."
Emotion was never part of the equation when it came time for Driver to do business, and early in his career it was obvious he would stay ahead of the competition long after it caught others.
Then-general manager Ron Wolf selected Driver in the seventh round in 1999, 213 spots into a 253-pick draft, and then told him to take advantage of the opportunity he had been given. A world-class track athlete at Alcorn State, Driver was more athlete than receiver when he got to Green Bay, and Wolf wanted him to work at being great.
Then a young, raw product himself, Tennessee Titans quarterback Matt Hasselbeck said he first really noticed Driver during a training camp practice in '99.
Hasselbeck said he was sent in to run a base play in the West Coast offense called, "Red right 24 double-go." The quarterback has a receiver on the left and a receiver on the right, and both are running go routes.
"I'm going through my cadence and I look over and go, 'OK, this guy got drafted in the seventh round (Driver) and this guy got drafted in like the third or fourth round," Hasselbeck recalled. "So I threw it to that guy. Sherm Lewis, the offensive coordinator, cursed me out and pulled me out of there.
"He was like, 'What are you doing throwing to that guy, we've got Donald Driver winning down the sideline? He's wide open.' In my mind, he was a seventh-round pick. But that's what Donald did. There were always guys drafted ahead of him who were supposedly better than him, from a bigger school. He was just better."
Driver went on to become a fixture in the Packers' offense.
He finishes his career No. 1 on the Packers' all-time list in receptions (743), receiving yards (10,137) and 1,000-yard seasons (seven). He ranks No. 2 in team history for most regular-season games played with 205, trailing only Brett Favre (255).
The 6-foot, 194-pound Driver began his career catching passes from Favre and ended it catching them from Aaron Rodgers. He flourished most under Favre, who came to love Driver's toughness and reliability. Late in his career, Favre would regularly pick Driver up on his shoulder in celebration after completing a touchdown pass to him.
Driver was selected to the Pro Bowl three times and won a long-awaited Super Bowl ring during the 2010 season, even though he was unable to finish the final game due to an ankle injury. But he accomplished something many NFL players don't: He retired having played for just one team.
"He won him a Super Bowl and played with two Hall of Fame quarterbacks," San Francisco receiver Randy Moss said when told about Driver's decision. "You can't ask for more than that."
Said Moss' teammate cornerback Carlos Rogers: "He doesn't have anything to look back on and be sad about. He gave it his all."
Meeting with McCarthy
After meeting with coach Mike McCarthy after the team's divisional round playoff loss to the 49ers, Driver knew his time was up.
McCarthy meets individually with every player after the season, and there was plenty of emotion in the room. McCarthy was quarterbacks coach in '99 when Driver - the last player on the Packers roster with a connection to Wolf - was drafted, and Driver produced four 1,000-yard seasons for him.
"I just kind of knew in his eyes," Driver said. "When you've known a guy for so long and you're friends, it's hard for him to tell you that they're not going to bring me back. I just kind of looked at him, and I just kind of knew that that's what they were going to do.
"I just wanted to make it easy on the organization, not put any pressure on them and just be able to walk away on my own terms and not have them say, 'We're not going to bring you back.' "
The Packers did not make McCarthy or general manager Ted Thompson available for comment on Driver's retirement.
Bypassed this season
Driver was one of six wide receivers to make the 53-man roster this season, but it became clear fairly early on that he would not have a major role in the offense. With Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson, James Jones and Randall Cobb ahead of him, the Packers were loaded at receiver - and will continue to be even with Driver retiring and Jennings likely gone in free agency.
Even rookie Jarrett Boykin got more work than Driver as the season wore on. The Packers later signed receiver/returner Jeremy Ross from the practice squad, and he was active ahead of Driver in the team's final game at Lambeau Field, a 24-10 playoff victory Jan. 5 against Minnesota.
During his time with the Packers, Driver was more than just a recognizable figure on the field. Having once been homeless as a child, he became a fixture in the community, giving back to the poor through associations with Goodwill, the Salvation Army and many other charities.
His popularity was so great that a Facebook page was created after the Vikings playoff game to pressure the Packers into activating him for the 49ers game.
In later years, Driver was a constant in the commercial endorsement field, giving sales pitches for everything from fast food to airlines to convenience stores. After winning "Dancing With the Stars" last spring, his popularity grew beyond the state borders and is strong nationwide.
His allegiance with Wisconsin will remain strong, however.
"We're not going to stop doing what we do," Driver said of himself and his wife, Betina. "We felt like the community gave back to us; we have to give back to them. That's my second home. I'm born and raised in Houston, Texas, but Wisconsin is always going to be a home for me and I'll always be back."
Across the Twitter world, teammates expressed congratulations to Driver for a long and honored career and even took to cyberspace to suggest the Packers should retire his No. 80. The Packers have stopped retiring numbers, but Driver has often talked about the number being retired in honor of him and James Lofton, who also wore No. 80 and is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Said guard T.J. Lang on Twitter: "@Donald_Driver80 it was a pleasure to share the field with you for 4 years! Great player, tremendous person. #retire80."
Added Jennings: "Nothing but a class act. @Donald_Driver80 congrats on great career also on showing us all how to #Begreat on and off the field."
Driver's Milwaukee-based publicist, Brian Lammi, said in retirement Driver would be looking for television opportunities, but he would not limit himself to being a sports analyst. He is already a correspondent for ABC's "Good Morning America" and may seek out more opportunities like that.
"I think he's interested in the sports stuff, but I think he's also interested in some general entertainment things that don't have to be pure football related," Lammi said. "I keep telling people he's going to be more involved and more engaged in the Wisconsin community and will certainly have some national opportunities, too.
"I don't look at this like an ending, but kind of like a beginning or another stage."
When: 11 a.m. Wednesday.
Where: Lambeau Field Atrium.
How to attend: Tickets are free. They will be available in person only at the Packers' ticket office beginning at 9 a.m. Friday. Distribution will be limited to four tickets per person.

Ohio Governor John Kasich still has not announced official decisions on Obamacare exchange implementation or Medicaid expansion, major factors in the federal Goliath's reach into the Buckeye State. With President Obama reelected and no chance of Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) repeal, choices left to the Republican administration by the 2010 law are more important than ever.
In a November 9 column at National Review Online, Cato Institute health policy expert Michael F. Cannon explained why no state should create PPACA exchanges or expand Medicaid eligibility. Ohio is one of 14 states where state-run exchanges would be illegal due to PPACA's coverage mandates, and neither exchanges nor Medicaid expansion would be affordable for the state's taxpayers.
Media Trackers contacted Ohio Department of Insurance (ODI) Communications Director Chris Brock on November 7 to inquire about Kasich's decision on exchange implementation.
"We're still leaning toward letting the federal government run the exchange in Ohio," Brock replied. "The deadline for telling HHS what Ohio will do is Nov. 16 and we will have more information by then."
Although the administration appears to be waiting until the last minute to officially refuse calls from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to create state-run exchanges, Lieutenant Governor and ODI Director Mary Taylor has been a consistent critic of PPACA.
On June 28, immediately following the U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding most of PPACA, Taylor expressed her belief that creating a PPACA exchange would be a mistake.
"At this point, the governor and I don't see how it is in the best interest of Ohioans to have a state-run exchange," Taylor told reporters on a conference call.
"Quite frankly, we don't even see where the additional money would come from in order for us to run that exchange," Taylor added. "We estimate, based on the reports that were issued last year by the Department of Insurance, that it would be an additional $43 million new state money, on an annual basis, in order for us to run a state-based exchange."
In the months following the Supreme Court ruling, Kasich's administration has been hounded by progressive groups for its failure to embrace PPACA.
Asked about expanding Medicaid eligibility up to 133 percent of the federal poverty line as the bill calls for, Eric Poklar of the Governor's Office of Health Transformation told Media Trackers on November 8, "at this point we're trying to determine how Ohio will pay for the ACA's extra $700 million in Medicaid costs in 2014 and 2015."
"We haven't made a decision on expansion yet," Poklar said.
On the same June 28 conference call where Taylor spelled out reasons why the state did not plan to construct PPACA exchanges, Medicaid director John McCarthy noted that Ohio lacked the funds to pay for higher Medicaid enrollment even without raising the threshold for eligibility.
"All of the reforms that we've been doing in the last budget, trying to get savings, we haven't come close to getting $369 million in savings to cover that cost," McCarthy said.
Nonetheless, Governor Kasich refused to take a firm position against expanding Medicaid in an August 2 interview on conservative podcast Coffee & Markets.
"I've instructed my staff to begin to talk to Democrat and Republican staff members for governors to see if there's a way that we can carve something out here," Kasich said - even while repeating McCarthy's warnings about the staggering increase in Medicaid expenses that will result from PPACA mandates.
Unlike the fast-approaching November 16 deadline to inform HHS which exchange path Ohio will take, taxpayers could be left waiting for answers about Medicaid expansion for years. A federal Medicaid official recently told The New York Times "there is no deadline" for expanding eligibility, though federal assistance for the expansion will start to decline three years after PPACA takes full effect in 2014.
With national debt now exceeding $16.2 trillion, the federal government cannot afford to pay for either Medicaid expansion or federally-run exchanges. At publication, 11 states have refused to implement state-run PPACA exchanges and 20 more have made no decision.
As Independent Women's Forum senior policy analyst Hadley Heath told Media Trackers in July, "What [HHS] would have to do, ultimately, if they were going to abide by what they put into the statute would be to go into many states and create the federal exchanges there - and they simply don't have the money."

The clip invit to a drink from Harvey (1950) She must, however, remain out here temporarily. Uh-huh. Well, I've always wanted Veta to have everything she needs. Exactly! But I wouldn't want her to stay here unless she likes it and wants to stay here. If this were an ordinary delusion on the memory picture, that would be one thing. But this is much more serious. It stands to reason no one has ever seen a white rabbit six feet high. Not very often, Doctor. So she must be committed here temporarily. Under the circumstances, I'd commit my own grandmother. Does your grandmother drink too? That's just an expression. Here are the commitment papers for you to sign, and here's a visitor's pass. You can come and see her whenever you like. I think you better have Veta do this. She always does all the signing and managing for our family. She's good at it. I'll have your family lawyer take care of it. Judge Gaffney. He's already telephoned us in connection with this matter. Is that so? Yes. I like you, Dowd. Well, I like you too, Doctor. And Miss Kelly here. I certainly do like you. Why, thank you, Mr. Dowd. You two have been so pleasant, why don't we keep on going? I'd like to invite you to come downtown with me... and we'll go to this charming little place called Charlie's and we'll have a drink. Oh, I'm sorry, but we're on duty now. Give us a rain check. Some other time, we'd be glad to. When? Well, I can't say offhand. Miss Kelly and I are on duty until 10:00 tonight. 10:00 will be fine. I'll be waiting for you. It's at Twelfth and Main. If we can make it. I'll be waiting. The four of us will spend a very pleasant evening together. I want both of you to become friends with a very dear friend of mine. But you said later on, didn't you? Yes, yes. Later on it'll be. Good-bye. Good-bye, Mr. Dowd.

High-loft warmth in a lightweight and compressible package.
The Mountain Hardwear Women's Kelvinator Hooded Jacket delivers high-loft, balmy down warmth, and it's light and compressible enough to tag along on your climbing and backpacking trips. The Kelvinator is stuffed full of 650-fill Q.shield water-resistant down that has a high warmth-to-weight ratio and that won't loose its loft or warmth when things start to get soggy out. And the 20D nylon ripstop shell resists tearing when you're handling climbing gear, or bush-whacking to the crag. Elastic cuffs and hood let you seal in heat while you're on belay or hanging out around the fire, and dual hem drawcords let you get the right fit while you're on the move.

Oh so lovely
This jacket is like getting a big ol hug every time I put it on. Defiantly a big mountain jacket packed into 650 fill. Large baffles make this coat a bit on the puffy side (which is what I wanted), and it packs in the warmth. Northern Michigan winters are no match for this jacket. As the other reviews said, it does run a bit on the large side. I am always a small/medium (5'5", 140 athletic build) in jackets and the small fits perfectly. Longer in the back, but not too much. Arms are nice and long. All around a very well made, comfortable jacket. I was under the impression that it came with internal pockets, but it does not. Not a biggie, still love it.
Good jacket - big in arms
This jacket for great, but the arms were a bit big in proportion to the rest of it. I felt a little bit like the hulk because they were specifically big around the biceps. For being so puffy, I expected it to be warmer. For another location I'm sure it's awesome, but for a cold, humid, windy winter in Kansas, it wasn't quite warm enough for me. (I am 5'5" 134 lbs and I ordered an XS).
Orange color is see through
I got this in a couple of colors to see what I liked best. The orange color is see through - if there are any random dark feathers inside, you see them from the outside and they look like dirt smudges. Definitely go with a darker color if that's something that would bother you.

- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs large
Great jacket, super comfortable on, really bummed they don't have my size. Runs really big, ordered the large so I could layer underneath. But, the large is like an x-large.

text: Welcome to our latest Adoption Program!! This program was created to give every new member an helping hand during the first time at this Star Wars Forum. We know that the boards are overhelming at times and that it might be confusing in the beginning, so we started an adoption program years ago. Its suppose is to make you feeling familiar with the forum easily. @ New Members: If you, as a new member (also called Newbie), would like to get adopted, just post in this thread or send me (Skiara) a private message (PM = conversation) and I'll add you to the list of "free newbies". Of course, you can go ahead and ask one of the listed oldbies (experienced members) on your own. Once you are adopted, you can ask your adopter whatever question comes to your mind or whenever you need help. Your adopter will show you interesting parts of the forum as well. The time of adoption is not limited. Whenever you feel being ready to discover the forum on your own, just let your adopter (and me) know and your adoption time is finished. In case, you find yourself having another question without having an official adopter anymore, I'm sure, your former adopter will help you nevertheless - or simply post your question in this thread. @ Experienced Members: Oldbies, if you want to help* a new member, please, post in this thread thread or send me a PM. I'll add you to the list of "free oldbies". Of course, you can go ahead and ask the new members on your own. Just let me know, if you adopted one, so I can add you to the list of adoption teams. Please, make sure that you have been at the boards for at least four months and have 400 posts. This is to ensure that you have a certain amount of knowledge about the boards so you can guide your adoptee. If you're giving me up to three of your favorite boards, I'll list them as well, so one can see your main areas of the forum. *Helping means to answer questions, to chat a bit regularly and to show him/her interesting places (including hints and tipps of the special board atmosphere and guidelines), so the new member can enjoy the boards the most! Additional Info: The last versions of adoption had an training program included. Because of the 'Big Move' of the forum, the training program is under construction. Keep your eyes open for the new and improved training program.

South Korean President Park Geun Hye has apologised for her Government's failure to combat systemic and regulatory "evils" blamed for the loss of about 300 lives in a ferry disaster.
Two days after her Prime Minister resigned over the tragedy, Park's comments are another attempt to defuse growing public anger about the April 16 sinking of the 6825-tonne Sewol.
"I don't know how to apologise for the failure to prevent this accident, and for the insufficient first response," Park said in a statement to her Cabinet that was broadcast on national television.
"I am sorry to the people and heavy-hearted that many precious lives were lost."
Park's Government has been widely criticised over perceived corruption and lax safety standards that may have led to the disaster, with claims that the ferry was overloaded and that the passenger list was inaccurate and incomplete.
Echoing words used by Chung Hong Won when he fell on his sword on Sunday, Park blamed systemic and regulatory failings for one of South Korea's worst-ever maritime tragedies.
Earlier, the President had travelled to Ansan, just south of Seoul, where she paid her respects at a memorial for the schoolchildren who died in the disaster. Of the 476 people on board, 325 were students from the same high school in Ansan. Only 75 of them were rescued. In a sign of the anger felt by relatives of the missing and the dead, there were shouted demands for her floral tribute to be removed from the shrine, and reports she had been jostled.

QNAP TurboNAS TS-219+ 2-bay NAS device
QNAP TurboNAS TS-219+ review: A feature-rich, 2-bay network storage device
- Lots of useful server features
- Easy to set up and use
- iTunes streaming is a little fiddly
- Some features could be better documented
Bottom Line
The QNAP TurboNAS TS-219+ has plenty of features that are suitable both for small business and home users. It's relatively easy to set up and use and it can accommodate 3TB hard drives.
Price$ 449.00 (AUD)
The QNAP TurboNAS TS-219+ is a two-bay network-attached storage (NAS) device that can accept SATA 3.0 hard drives up to 3TB, for a total capacity of 6TB. It has one Gigabit Ethernet port for connecting to your network, and extra drives (or even printers) can be shared via the QNAP's three USB 2.0 and two eSATA ports.
It's a comprehensive network storage solution for home and small business users, and it has many of the same software features as the 4-bay TurboNAS TS-412. It can be used as a repository for media files, as a UPnP media streamer, or as a backup location for all your data (it supports Apple's Time Machine, too). Furthermore, you can set it up so that you can access your data remotely; like the TS-412, it has the built-in MyCloudNAS service that's simple to set up and use — you can still use DynDNS if you wish.

- CMS ABSplus with Data Guard hard drive review
- CMS ABSplus FDE hard drive review
Setting up the TurboNAS TS-219+ isn't difficult. After you insert two hard drives (preferably of the same capacity and performance specifications), you can use the supplied QNAP Finder software to find the NAS on your network and connect to it, and then use the supplied wizard to complete the NAS' configuration. The wizard takes you through all the services that can be set up, such as the Web server, iTunes server and Multimedia Station, before allowing you to select the configuration of your drives.
The TS-219+ supports either RAID 0 or RAID 1 modes, but you can also elect to have drives set up as one large volume instead. We recommend RAID 1, which mirrors data on both hard drives, as this can protect your data in the event of a single hard drive failure. The drive bays are hot-swappable, which means you can remove a faulty drive and install a new one without powering down the NAS. Drives installed in the NAS will be formatted using the EXT4 file system, but drives attached to the NAS' USB or eSATA ports can also use NTFS, FAT32 or HFS+.
Once configured, you can enter the drive's Web administration page to check out all of its features. You can create new shared folders, add users and even implement quotas for users. Shared folders will show up in Windows 7 when you browse the network, making it easy to plonk files into them.
Like we experienced with the TS-412, the iTunes server won't work unless you store all your files in the 'multimedia' folder, which may mean having to keep a duplicate of files on the NAS. If you have a media streamer, such as the Netgear NeoTV NTV550, attached to your network, then you can easily browse all of the media files that are located in the NAS' shared folders.
We recommend connecting the TS-219+ to your network using a Gigabit Ethernet connection, as this will provide the best performance when moving data to and from the NAS, but there is an option for a wireless dongle if you want to store the NAS in a location where only wireless access will be feasible.
The performance of the NAS was solid during our tests (using Gigabit Ethernet), and it performed all of its intended functions without a hassle. We're used to setting up and using QNAP NAS devices, but we're sure that new users will find it just as hassle-free to set up as we did. However, there are a lot of features packed in to this NAS device and it can be a little intimidating. You can click on the little question mark to bring up the help file if you don't understand something in the interface, but explanations for advanced features are not deep enough.
You may only buy the TS-219+ with the intention of storing and streaming media files, but in time you might find its ability to record directly from an IP camera to be a benefit, too. You might also want to take advantage of its built-in BitTorrent capability (using the QGet app) so that you can download torrents without leaving your PC on all night. You might even want to use it as a Web or FTP server. There are also iOS and Android apps available (QMobile) so that you can stream content to your portable devices.
Indeed, there are plenty of things to do with the QNAP TurboNAS TS-219+. Pick it up if you want a comprehensive and relatively easy to use NAS with two drive bays. If you can afford it (and it's only $100 more), go for the four-bay version instead as allows you to use a higher storage capacity while still protecting your data.

For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Jack Shantry
Key facts
Full Name: Jack David Shantry
Born: January 29 1988 , Shrewsbury
County: Worcestershire
Other teams: Shropshire
Batting Style: Left-hand bat
Bowling Style: Left-arm medium
The left-arm seamer ensured his place in Worcestershire folklore when he rescued the club from a seemingly lost position with a century and a 10-wicket match haul to clinch LV= County Championship promotion in 2014 with victory over Surrey. It was the first time a number nine or lower had managed the feat in first-class cricket and came after he walked to the crease with the Pears effectively 33 for seven. It was an indication of his quickly improving batting which, coupled with his awkward left-arm bowling style, has marked him as a valuable member of the Worcestershire squad. Shant...

The Baker Hughes High-Definition Induction LogTM (HDILTM) service provides formation resistivities at six depths of investigation, ranging from 10 to 120 in (0.25 to 3 m). The longer receiver coil spacing enables the estimation of Rt, even in the presence of deep invasion; the shorter spacing provides the information to correct for borehole and near-borehole effects.
In thinly bedded hydrocarbon-bearing reservoirs and in the presence of deep drilling-fluid invasion, HDIL measurements provide more accurate formation resistivity data than conventional induction systems. In these conditions, our HDIL service provides better reservoir description, more accurate water saturation (Sw) determination and a detailed evaluation of the drilling fluid invasion profile.

By the time you get this far west in the Central Valley, you're likely headed for Costa Rica's famed Central Pacific beaches, but the countryside holds some splendid scenery, from the steep coffee farms around Atenas to the tropical forests of the lowlands. Known for its excellent climate—National Geographic once dubbed it the world's best—Atenas ("Athens" in Spanish) is a pleasant, friendly town surrounded by a hilly countryside of coffee and cane fields, cattle ranches, and patches of forest. The small city is off the tourist circuit, which means that here, unlike other highly popular destinations, you'll walk alongside more locals than foreigners and get a more authentic idea of the country. Gazing at the tree-covered peaks and exploring the coffee farms are the main activities in this traditional town. Atenas's center has a concrete church, some well-kept wooden and adobe houses, and a park dominated by royal palms.

The eight-day festival of Passover begins on the night of April 7. It recounts the Israelites' exodus from Egyptian slavery about 3,200 years ago. Passover, or Pesach in Hebrew, is easily the favorite holiday of the Jewish people because it combines the powerful story of achieving human freedom with the traditional Seder, a home banquet with its many special foods, including matzah, or unleavened bread. Indeed, people travel hundreds, even thousands, of miles to attend a Seder with family and friends. It is a giant Jewish Homecoming.
Each Seder is unique because participants frequently add their own special personal stories or memories to the biblical narrative. The Seder is a superb way to transmit Pesach's message to children through its simple but compelling tale, appealing songs and charming games.
Pesach also resonates among Christians because Jesus, a Jew living in the land of Israel, followed Jewish religious custom by traveling to Jerusalem to celebrate the holiday in the capital city. Many scholars believe the "Last Supper" was, in fact, a Seder complete with unleavened bread and wine, both of which became a central part of Christian Eucharist liturgy. Because Easter is historically linked to Passover, its date changes each year. Both holidays are based on the lunar calendar.
In the Passover account God acts within history by first hearing and then responding to the Israelite cries of oppression. The God of Israel is no distant deity far removed from humanity's travails. On the contrary, the book of Exodus, the source of the Passover story, makes clear that freedom is a divine ideal, and that slavery is counter to God's plan for the human family. Such a concept was an extraordinary breakthrough in ancient times and it still remains something to ponder today.
In our time, everyone and every group, even demonic totalitarian regimes, speak constantly about freedom. The German words "Arbeit macht frei" ("Work Makes for Freedom") posted atop the gates of death camps during the Holocaust were cynically designed to deceive the doomed prisoners. Tragically, the only "freedom" that most of them gained was death.
Why is freedom such a positive force for both God and humanity? Why are its benefits so great that God specifically demands freedom for the Israelite slaves by declaring "Let my people go!" Is human liberty an end in itself? Can it solve the basic problems of our lives?
The late Sir Isaiah Berlin, the world-renowned Oxford University historian and philosopher, wrote extensively about the concept of human freedom. Berlin, who died three years ago at the age of 88, always participated in a Seder and some of his ideas directly relate to Passover's theme.
Berlin continually probed the principles of liberty and freedom because political and religious leaders often describe these concepts as desirable ends in themselves.
Marxists confidently proclaimed that once the chains of economic bondage were broken, a classless free society would emerge. It was a wildly false assumption that cost the lives of millions of innocent people.
Surely some of the Israelite slaves naively believed that once they escaped from Egyptian slavery, freedom would solve all their problems as individuals and as a people. Not quite. The painful record of the Israelites during their 40 years of wandering in the Sinai wilderness is proof that freedom, by itself, is no guarantee that "everything will be OK."
Passover was the glorious opening chapter in that difficult quest, but the joyous holiday is an annual reminder that the rest is up to us.

Dec 5, 2012This app is absolutely awesome. It is worth every penny of the $4.99 it costs to download it.
Dec 6, 2012Don't think twice about the rather hefty $4.99 price tag, because frankly, it is more than justified for any enthusiast. Think of all the quarters it will be saving!
Dec 10, 2012Four of the best shooters money can buy in a single collection, Raiden Legacy is shooter perfection.
Jan 8, 2013If you enjoy the Raiden games or shoot em ups in general, this is a solid investment as you get four games with multiple modes for your purchase.
Dec 12, 2012For old school shooter fans, this is a welcome trip back, but it also shows how far the genre has come since then.
Dec 10, 2012Even with these smart decisions on the part of the publisher (or possibly decisions made at the behest of the developer), and the quality of the ports, I can't say that the Raiden games hold up against shooters tailored more towards iOS. Even with the faster touch controls enabled, I found that my hand was getting in the way far too often, and that I didn't have the same level of immersion that I would have with a physical joystick.
Jan 2, 2013Raiden Legacy is a nice compilation for all the classic shoot'em-up fans out there, but the controls should be more sensitive.

200 South Park Road Ste 100 Hollywood FL 33021 USA
The Diabetes Research Institute Foundation (DRIF) is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to provide the Diabetes Research Institute with the funding necessary to cure diabetes now. Founded in 1971 by a small group of parents of children with diabetes who were committed to finding a cure for this devastating disease, the DRI Foundation has evolved into an international coalition of business leaders, celebrities, research scientists, clinicians, families and other concerned individuals who have helped change both the scope and direction of diabetes research. Supported by private philanthropy, the DRI Foundation is the organization of choice for those who are serious, passionate and committed to finding a cure for their loved ones and millions of others with diabetes. For more information, visit DiabetesResearch.org or call 1-800-321-3437.
Geographic areas served:
Drif funds basic, pre-clinical and patient-based studies, including a recently fda-approved phase i/ii clinical islet transplantation trial to test a new transplant site in the body for a dri biohub, a bioengineered mini organ that mimics the native pancreas to restore natural insulin production in those with diabetes. The first patient in this pilot trial has now been successfully transplanted, with several other patients activated and awaiting a matching donor pancreas. Drif has also funded pilot projects undertaken by dri researchers that make use of the newest advancements in technology and are key components of the dri biohub, and funding has allowed several other research initiatives to near the clinical trial phase of testing. The drif has funded international researcher training that has resulted in the completion of phase iii clinical islet transplantation trials. The resulting data was submitted in a biological license application to the fda for insurance reimbursement for patients with the disease. Key funded research areas include tissue engineering, immune tolerance, regenerative medicine, stem cell research, and nanotechnology, among others, to restore biological insulin production. Drif also hosts informational workshops for people with diabetes and their families focusing on the latest advances toward a cure and the newest diabetes management techniques. Through its website diabetesresearch. Org, the drif provides "news you can use" and research updates for those living with diabetes and their family members in the form of e-newsletters, videos, email announcements and information via social media.

I have been familiar with DRIF for several years now. Not only does my neighbor work for DRIF, but I have been around several family members and friends who have been battling Diabetes 1 or 2 for many years. My grandmother, my father, several aunts and uncles, cousins and, more recently, 6-year old Jaxon, a friend's grandson, have all been diagnosed with either Type and are doing what they need to do in order to survive. DRIF has provided education to the world of those afflicted; they have provided support and treatments; they have showed the best methods to approach this disease; and I know there will me much more to learn along this journey. I congratulate DRIF on the awesome and amazing work it is doing to help people be aware of Diabetes and its treatments. I congratulate DRIF for its dedication, devotion, and unselfish opportunities offered to people suffering from Diabetes Type 1 and Type 2. Well Done!
My son Jax was diagnosed with Type 1 a week after his first birthday :(
After walking out of the hospital 10 days later with all my diabetes training and education materials , I didn't even know where to turn for support. I felt my world was crumbling right before my eyes. I knew I needed to connect with moms of Type 1's and have a support system that could really understand what I was going through.
***Having good friends and family are necessary during this time and so are Type 1 mom's !
(who I now consider good friends as well)
I was fortunate to meet a mom at a PEP meeting I read about and it was then that I learned of the Diabetes Research Institute. I took an amazing tour of the facility to see what the researchers are studying everyday to find a cure for our kids. Just to know in my young son's lifetime (he's now 4), there may be a cure is all I need to keep going everyday. I truly believe the DRI has the best researchers and they are committed to the possible cure becoming a reality. I am hopeful for a breakthrough in the next 10-15 years.
The DRI staff...they have become my friends. I have worked on many projects with them and we also attend the "Walk for a Cure" every year as well. The staff is amazing and if they asked me to do anything to bring awareness to Type 1, I would do it in a heartbeat. They keep me connected to the new research findings, events and give me hope each and everyday by knowing that we are all working on the same common goal-
A cure!

I had the privilege of getting a private tour thru their facilities. It is amazing all the great things and hard work that go on in here every single day. I'm a "diabetes mom"....and hope for a cure so much. Not only for my child but for so many other patients as well. Finding a cure to diabetes will also, bring us closer to understanding better so many other chronic diseases, and hopefully, cure those as well. Once and for all!!!!!!!!

Our daughter has been a diabetic since the age of 12. She has always been well controlled and rarely has any problems,yet she wanted to learn more about the disease and new inavations in monitoring and delivering her insulin.
She visited DRI and came home with a wealth of imformation and a new way to deliver her insulin without the daily injections. She tells me the staff has helped her tremdously and even tested her children for any sign that they may develope the disease.
These people are truely decicated to finding a cure and I certainly will support their cause in any way that I am able.

I support the DRIF because it is singularly focused. Its goal is to provide funding to cure diabetes now. Not tomorrow. Not ten years from now. Today. And when you talk to researchers at the DRI, each one of them seems to genuinely share that same sense of urgency. The scientists I've been fortunate enough to meet there are an inspried, dedicated group of professionals committed to finding a biological cure.

My daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 8 years - at the same time that her Dad was losing his life to melanoma. I remember that my daughter asked me at the time of her diagnosis how long she would have to "keep getting shots". The look on my then 8 year old's face when I told her "for the rest of your life" was heartbreaking to the point tears welled up in my eyes. Then I added, "until the time we find a cure" and I promised her we would find that cure for her during MY lifetime. My husband's death left us without health insurance. I took a part time job with an airline to provide health insurance. (I had three small children to raise - one who had just been diagnosed with a chronic disease). My family also got involved with fundraising and research for the major diabetes organization, JDRF, who is also committed to a cure. But, almost 8 years later and no cure in sight, I am somewhat disappointed in the money being spent on "treatments' for diabetes versus a true "cure". One day, not so long ago, while I was taking calls in our airline's reservations center, a passenger, Lori Weintraub, called to book tickets. When she gave me her email address, the letters in her email server got to me - DRI. For whatever reason, I saw the word "diabetes" and asked her if she was involved in any way with the chronic disease. She was suprised and added that she indeed was affiliated with the Diabetes Research Institute. We talked for a while regarding various research projects on cures and asked me to email her. She emailed me back with so much information regarding the Diabetes Research Institute and what they were doing towards a cure. Treatments are not acceptable to them. Only cures. Lori put the hope back in our lives that because of dedicated researchers at places like the DRI, a cure will be found in MY lifetime! I have begun to be an active member in helping in this process by fundraising and raising awareness of this nonprofit. Thank you Lori and DRI

Seeing the research come front and center with results that are leading the process toward find a cure for Type 1 diabetes.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
absolutely nothing...this organization has one purpose and one purpose only - to find a permanent cure for Type 1 insulin dependent juvenile diabetes. This is my ultimate goal in life and promise to my daughter.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
They absolutely believe in their ability to find a cure for Type 1 diabetes. They are not concerned with various treatments for the disease (such as the artificial pancreas, the continuous glucose monitor, etc)...they are dedicated to finding that cure.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
EXCEPTIONAL and totally dedicated to the organization...they believe and have the faith that the researchers of this organization will be the ones to find a cure for Type 1 diabetes
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
be a HUGE step closer in the research required to get a cure to the market.
Ways to make it better...
I had more money (financial resources) to give to the organization to continue their mission to find a cure for Type 1 diabetes
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
continuing the stream of income in these economic times to continue their research and efforts to find a cure for Type 1 diabetes
One thing I'd also say is that...
I know that a cure for Type 1 diabetes will be found in MY lifetime rather than the lifetime of my daughter!

Having visited DRI in Miami once, I was very impressed with the way the institute is set up with the goal of finding a cure as its core, resulting in the tearing of inter-departmental barriers to facilitate collaboration internally. Also, it was impressive to learn about the efforts to create a DRI Federation to facilitate collaboration with other research institutions all over the world. They are without a doubt the best hope there is for a cure for diabetes!

Choosing an Effective Acupuncturist from Phoenix, Arizona
Acupuncture is a healing practice that was first developed in the East. You may know it from the movies as when people have needles stuck into them. Well, it's not just a far out practice– acupuncture works with real qi and energy meridians in your body to unblock structures and promote great flow.
It is great for achieving certain objectives, such as an improved respiratory system or for quitting smoking. There are a number of things that can be helped by acupuncture. You may need a few sessions for the problem to be addressed, but it's worth it– particularly if your insurance helps cover most or all of your visits, which an increasing amount are.
If you're interested in acupuncture for a specific purpose or just for general health, why not try and find one in your area? There are far more acupuncture practices and places to get the procedure done than ever before.

Georgia is the country's 29th biggest agricultural state.

Approximately 60 percent of Georgia's annual revenue from farming is from livestock products (including poultry, beef and dairy cattle, sheep or hogs and pigs). The other 40 percent comes from crops.

According to official Census Bureau stats, there were 42,257 farms recorded in the state, covering a total of 9.6 million acres (or the equivalent of 25 percent of the overall state land area).Read More +

'The American Bible' Collects Texts That We the People Argue About
Abraham Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address" radically reinterpreted the Declaration of Independence.
The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech riffed on Lincoln's lofty language.
And Ronald Reagan drafted King's dream of a country where character outweighs color into an argument against affirmative action.
There are certain speeches, songs, books, letters, laws, and axioms that Americans appreciate enough to argue about, says religion scholar Stephen Prothero.
Like the Declaration of Independence, this almost consecrated canon inspires endless commentary about what it means to be American — and what "America" means.

In the midst of an erratic performance a week ago, Connor Cook overthrew a wide open Keith Mumphery against Purdue and missed a touchdown in a tight 14-0 win.
After the game, asked if there was one play he could have back, he confidently named that one.
"The Mumphery one," he said. "He got behind the defense and that's a throw I have to make."
This Saturday, Mumphery found himself open against Illinois and this time Cook didn't miss, hitting the junior wide receiver in stride for a 47-yard touchdown.
It was the last of his 15 completions in just 16 attempts and a fulfillment of what he told coach Mark Dantonio just a week ago when he struggled against the Boilermakers: "Don't worry."
"Coming off the performance that I had last week, obviously I was upset and really focused on things I need to get better at in practice," Cook said. "I just always believe in myself, have faith in myself and I told him, 'Don't worry, we'll be okay.' I have full belief in myself."
Dantonio said it wasn't new to see Cook respond like that and that it is part of the growing process for the young quarterback.
"When you're a young player, you have a chance to sit back, regroup, re-establish yourself and move forward," he said. "He's got tremendous talent. He was off a little bit throwing the football last week, but he's able to regroup himself and move forward."
Not only did Cook move forward, he set a Michigan State record with a 93.8 completion percentage.
The sophomore said that is a testament to the fact he didn't down on himself or dwell in the past.
"I put stuff behind me and I move forward," he said. "I always have confidence in myself and I always believe in myself no matter what. If I have a really crappy before last week, that I can come out this week and put it all behind me and have a good game."
So what made the difference in a matter of seven days for Cook?
"I think it was great play calling," he said. "The run, too, helped out a lot with play-action passes and opening up the pass game because we were able to run the ball so well on them.
I really don't know … maybe it was the wind."
