411 Games Fact or Fiction 10.09.12: NBA Live 13, WWE 13, Assassin's Creed 3, and More
Hello everyone and welcome to this week's edition of Fact or Fiction. As always, I am Daniel Anderson and I hope everyone has had a good week. I will be taking a short break the next two weeks as I move for my new job. On a side note, packing really sucks. Anyway, this week we have 411's Sean Garmer going up against Gavin Napier. Let's see what they have to say shall we?
1.) You agree with Blizzard's Pardo when he says single player games are an endangered species.
Gavin Napier – Fiction: I actually laughed at this statement. Single player games will never be an endangered species. Why? Because there's always going to be a group of gamers that wants to pay for a game one time then play it as much as they want without a monthly subscription. There's also going to be a group of gamers that doesn't want to deal with spamming, cheating, grinding, or the annoyance of being yelled at by pre-pubescent kids. MMO's aren't a novelty or anything; they certainly have their place. The idea that single player games are endangered, when they can still offer experiences such as Red Dead Redemption, Uncharted, Silent Hill, God of War, and more, is completely absurd.
Sean Garmer – Fact: Yes, there are plenty of single-player games out there, but the majority of games have some sort of multiplayer now because for some reason some gamers feel there is no replay value in a game that just has single player. I mean how many game companies have we heard of down the years say "you have to add a multiplayer component to every game we as a developer or publisher release." I don't think this statement says "definitively single player is dead" The blizzard rep is merely saying "multiplayer is pretty much what sells right now.".
Score: 0 for 1 – I don't think single player games are dead. If they were you would not have games like Skyrim and DragonAge. Just because they are not dead does not mean they are as popular as they once were though.
2.) You were surprised EA canceled NBA Live 13.
Gavin Napier – Fiction: I would have been surprised if the game had released. EA Sports doesn't deal well with competition. Back when 2K sports was allowed to make NFL games, they blew Madden out of the water in terms of quality. They lacked brand recognition, but through constant improvements and aggressive pricing, they were changing that. There is no exclusive licensing with the NBA brand, and 2K Sports have absolutely crushed EA. After multiple years of cancelling the game at the last minute and being plagued with numerous issues, EA's going to have a long way to go to catch up, if they ever do. No wonder they wanted to freeze 2K out of NFL games.
Sean Garmer – Fiction: It does not surprise me really because EA does not want to be in competition, they are either the best in that particular field, in this case NBA basketball, or they are not gonna do it. Why? Simply because they care about the money and if the game is not gonna sell for them we even try bringing it to market. Though, I did think going the digital download route was a better cost effective measure, I feared it would get delayed again once we heard nothing about a month from release date. In the end, maybe its better if they just push all their efforts into making nba live 2014 the best thing out there and see what happens.
Score: 1 for 2 – I'm not surprised. We were not hearing much of anything about the game, and with an EA sports game that is not a good sign. EA does not like being in competition with anyone when it comes to sports. When EA was competing with 2K in football they bought the exclusive rights to the sport. With the NBA, they just cancel the titles and say they are focusing on next year.
3.) The problem with Day 1 Digital's version of Resident Evil 6 (game not loading with a patch) shows that a digital only console is still something that wouldn't work.
Gavin Napier – Fact: There are too many potential hiccups involved. I work in health care, and have for the last 15 years. For 15 years now, I've heard talk that "we'll be going to paperless documentation very soon." It didn't happen 15 years ago and it's not going to happen for a while. The same applies for games. Digital downloads are okay for some things, and it's okay for add ons. When it comes to the actual game, though, people are going to be more comfortable having a hard copy in hand. It's just how it is. Steam is a great example of this. Steam could probably be more convenient than a trip to GameStop, WalMart, BestBuy, or the local pawn shop. I find myself frustrated, though, when I have to delete and reinstall Steam games, or when download times lag, or dealing with the online experience as a whole. Maybe I'm just stuck in the past, but I don't see an all digital system being a reality for a while.
Sean Garmer – Fiction: No I think it just proves that even digital things can have problems. This wasn't world-wide for the most part it was limited to Europe. This is almost like when you happen to be the unlucky person that gets a defective game on release day. Harmonix just recently began a sale of over 1100 DLC songs for Rock Band 3 and it took Microsoft and Sony over a week to get all the prices correct in their systems. So digital doesn't always mean better, or faster, it's just convenient and costs the companies less.
Score: 1 for 3 – Any time there is a major issue like this it makes me think how much more common it would be if there were digital only systems. It would be great to only have to select what game I want from a menu and download it and start playing, but the technology isn't quite there yet. To be honest I doubt it ever will be as long as we have multiple platforms.
*~Twitter Break!~*
411Movies & TV
4.) You are interested in the Assassin's Creed 3 Season Pass.
Sean Garmer – Fiction: I've only played Assassin's Creed 1 and I want to play the series all the way through first. But I will say AC 3 having the naval battles and being about the American Revolution almost made me want to skip the story and just start from AC3. For now I have no interest in the season pass.
Gavin Napier – Fiction: Assassin's Creed games are pretty, but I'm not a fan. They're just not my cup of tea. I'm not saying they're bad games. I'm not qualified to say that because I haven't played one for more than twenty minutes or so. If I've gone this long without purchasing one, though, it doesn't make a lot of sense to purchase the newest installment and then invest money in a season pass. I'll..um..pass.
Score: 2 for 4 – I am doubtful about an AC3 Season Pass. I enjoy the games, but once I finish I am generally done with the game. I don't know how the DLC will be, but if there is a good set of DLC then I will plan on picking up a season pass for next year's game.
5.) A PS3/Vita bundle would be a success.
Sean Garmer – Fiction: If the Vita is basically free with the PS3 maybe. But I just don't think it will do well. The people that wanted the Vita already have one, and the PS3 is at the end of its lifecycle. I don't think pairing the two together are gonna start some sales revolution.
Gavin Napier – Fact: People like to get deals. You know what people like more than getting deals? THINKING they're getting deals. Slap a base model PS3 and a Vita together, knock $100 off the total price, maybe throw in one game that's available for both platforms – MLB The Show? – and crank them out in time for Christmas. People that insist on spoiling their children will be absolutely elated to spend a few hundred dollars on the bundle.
Score: 2 for 5 – Depending on the discount I think this could do well. Anyone who has an older PS3 and is looking to upgrade to the new model would look at spending a little more money just to give a Vita a try.
6.) The arena build feature is a bigger attraction than the Attitude era roster in WWE 13.
Sean Garmer – Fiction: We already had the build an arena feature last year. Getting to play with all your old favorites from probably the greatest era in wrestling pretty much trumps anything they could include in a WWE game.
Gavin Napier – Fact: If you're a huge dork like me, then the appeal to a game like Fire Pro is the fact that you can customize everything. Literally everything. Hundreds of things. ALL THE THINGS. Well, the WWE series is catching on to this and allowing for more customization across the board. I could care less about getting three or four versions of Triple H, or recreating one of the most popular eras of wrestling that's barely watchable 15 years later. Letting me have the opportunity to create an authentic feeling Tokyo Dome, Georgia Dome, WCW Nitro set, or whatever else my mind can think of sounds much more fun to me.
Score: 2 for 6 – I think this is a huge upgrade over last year's build an arena feature. This year you have control over everything in the arena. My friends are already looking forward to building a bunch of smaller arena and make them look real (no indy fed ring with a huge Jumbotron in the background anymore). The Attitude Era is a nice attention grabber, but the more features to keep you interested the better.
Bonus Question: With the pending shut down of City of Heroes name a multiplayer game (MMO or not) that you have fond memories of playing.
Sean Garmer – I probably have the most memories with Rock Band 3, because a few friends and I would play whatever new songs I bought every week and we had fun times playing songs and just hanging out..
Gavin Napier – I'm still a fan of DC Universe Online. I sit down and play it from time to time, just to have the chance to fly around as a Green Lantern and punch things with an oversized boxing glove. The world is massive, and the characters are near and dear to my heart. They're also as close as I can get to new content for DC that doesn't involve Superman in hiking boots or pretending that the last 80 years never happened. Yeah, I'm a little bitter regarding the New 52. At any rate, I'll likely play this one until they shut it down, and it's the only MMO that's ever sucked me in, mainly due to the source material.
That wraps up this week's edition of Fact or Fiction. Sean and Gavin went 2 for 6 disagreeing more than agreeing. I hope to see everyone when I come back in a couple weeks, and until then, happy gaming.

a bath for the granite and haircut for the hedge
>> 6.01.2011
Do you know when you realize that you've been slacking on blogging? When the person who lives your with projects day-to-day, hears your rants on how to cut costs, and sees you track your spending down to the penny asks, "So, what's up with your blogging?"
I might have gone a little bridezilla as I screamed, "SERIOUSLY?! YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE BEEN UP TO!!"
Anyways, Nate, this post about projects we worked on last weekend is for you. You know, just in case you've forgotten or something.
The weird thing about three day weekends is that I feel like I have all the time in the world and therefore can accomplish at least 1,001 projects. So, of course I just knew that we would get the entire yard spruced up for the summer over Memorial Day weekend (ha).
It hadn't rained very much since we put in the new granite path and sod so we hadn't realized that the dirt mounds next to the path could cause any issues until a 3-inch rainstorm blew in last month...

Are your pillows flat and in need of some rejuvenation? This tip from Real Simple requires no cords, wires or electricity. Just some sun.
Assuming that we are still going to be seeing some sun as winter rolls around, a few hours of exposure should be able to evaporate the moisture that gradually collects within your favorite pillow. Make sure to flip it over half way through and enjoy your newly fluffed pillow.

Videoville is an unusual town where many movies are made, but not all of the animals who live there are friendly. Take Mr. Rockhopper, for example. He can be one angry penguin. Skidder, probably the fastest penguin in the West, can be relied on to be careless, but his small friend Pudden can amaze you. As for Skidder's sister, Trendy Wendy, she often sets the fashion for the younger members of the town. Also meet the Hatopotamus, Buster Gutter, the stunt bear, Mewsli, the cat detective, Myrtle Turtle, and many more surprisingly talented animals... We must not ignore the humans either. Is Slim, the cowboy, to blame for the Umbrella War? Only you can decide, and lastly don't forget to read about the Parapenguins...

Jane Ingalls
Redirected from Sister Ingalls
this wiki
Sister Jane Ingalls is an inmate at Litchfield Penitentiary. Her character is based on real-life pacifist nun Sister Ardeth Platte. She is portrayed by actress Beth Fowler.
Personality Edit
Whilst on the surface she comes off as mature and rigid, Sister Ingalls is a very kind, well-spoken, and accepting individual. She has an upbeat personality and a good sense of humor whilst in prison; however, Ingalls's flashbacks reveal a self-centered narcissist, who is always chasing the limelight, often abusing her position in a crusade of self-promotion.
Season Two presents a complex background for Ingalls, who is revealed to be severely flawed. The self-interested nature that is revealed in flashbacks grounds the former nun and adds additional dimensions to a somewhat flat character. Ingalls's motives are questionable and she becomes a far more dynamic character through these revelations, in line with her fellow inmates.
Sister Ingalls is still religious, often using scripture and religious ideology when giving advice to other inmates. However, her interpretations of faith and dedication are not always in harmony with strict church dogma. As such, she is quoted as considering herself more of the Pope's "homie" than his "bitch". Yet she does not reveal her excommunication to other prisoners.
She is also willing to compromise her religious beliefs when it is of benefit to her, such as pretending to be jewish in order to receive Kosher meals.
She has a very open attitude, and tends to get along with people of all beliefs and backgrounds, as evidenced by her supportive friendship with fellow inmate Sophia Burset. Because of their religious differences, however, she is not well-liked by Pennsatucky, who became very religious after her incarceration.
Physical AppearanceEdit
Sister Ingalls has short, red hair and no obvious makeup, obeying Litchfield's regulations. She is seen more often with a religious medal than a cross, congruent with her Catholic faith.
Before Litchfield Edit
For a list of episodes featuring Sister Ingalls' flashbacks, see here.
Sister Ingalls joined a convent as a young woman in the 1960s. Though dedicated to her service to the church, she is shown even then as having an open interpretation of her faith; going so far as to ask an older Sister when God would speak to her, as she had never felt his presence before.
She was first introduced to the pacifist movement when overhearing two fellow young nuns speaking about a rally in Washington DC to protest the Vietnam War. The three attend the rally, but are chastised for leaving the convent without permission. Sister Ingalls claims she "fell in with the bad nuns" and it helped to shape her personal views.
Continuing her work, Sister Ingalls became a very prolific activist. At some point, she published a ghost-written book called Nun Shall Pass, that detailed her work and her views on faith and religion. It was at this point she lost support of the church and faced excommunication.
She was eventually arrested and incarcerated for handcuffing herself to a flagpole at a nuclear testing facility as a form of protest ("Take a Break From Your Values").
Season One Edit
Sister Ingalls is one of the inmates Piper meets on her first day at Litchfield. She is often seen associating with Red, Yoga Jones, Morello, and the other members of Red's "family" ("I Wasn't Ready").
Sister Ingalls starts a friendship with Sophia Burset, who first comes to her for her estrogen, but later begins to confide in her during a wake of marital and parenting problems. (...)
Season Two Edit
Brook Soso, another political protestor, arrives at Litchfield. Sister Ingalls refers to her as a "dirty hippie" who does not understand true protesting ("Hugs Can Be Deceiving").
After being forced to take a shower, Soso decides to start up a hunger strike. Sister Ingalls is one of the inmates who join the endeavor (along with Leanne Taylor, Angie Rice, and Yoga Jones). In the end, Soso and Ingalls are the ones left participating in the hunger strike.
Sister Ingalls goes on strike for so long that it begins to affect her health. She is sent to the medical wing and stays in a room with Red (who was put there after getting attacked by Vee). Her strike attracts the attention of several nuns from around the area, who are in turn also on strike against Litchfield in support of Sister Ingalls. In order to send the nuns away and avoid more trouble, Caputo talks Sister Ingalls into eating. He then walks her up the road to tell the nuns herself that the fast is over and they can go home. About halfway to the gate, Miss Rosa drives past them during her prison escape ("We Have Manners. We're Polite.").
Season Three Edit
Sister Ingalls returns from the medical wing around the same time as Red. The pair briefly bunks in the transfer cells (along with Anita DeMarco and Alex Vause) before going back to their permanent dorms ("Mother's Day").
She is the only non-jewish inmate to pass the rabbi's "jewish test" in order to continue to be allowed Kosher meals, due to her knowledge of the Old Testament ("Where My Dreidel At").
Season Four Edit
When Caputo calls all the inmates to meet in the chapel to dicuss the changes due to being bought by MCC, Sister Ingalls demands to know where Sophia Burset is, but is ignored. She and Gloria Mendoza are concerned with getting Sophia out of the SHU, especially after Nicky Nichols tells them Sophia has been sent to medical for self harm. Crystal Burset tells them she can't win a lawsuit against MCC without a photo proving that Sophia is in the SHU, so Sister Ingalls and Gloria devise a plan in which Ingalls hits Gloria, sending her to the SHU. While there, she figures out a way to pass notes on a string to Sophia, which raises her spirits. Ingalls eventually tries internally smuggling a cell phone but is discovered when she sneezes before taking a shower. Caputo uses the phone to take a picture of Sophia in the cell and gives it to Danny Pearson who is the son of MCC's director. He and Crystal Burset approach the director and show him the photo, which leads to Sophia's release back into minimum. Sister Ingalls, however, is still in the SHU as of the end of the season.
Season Five Edit
- Sophia Burset (best friend)
- Galina 'Red' Reznikov
- Yoga Jones
- Gloria Mendoza
- Anita DeMarco
- Piper Chapman
- Nicky Nichols
- Brook Soso (disliked)

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Cool cool! If you are thinking about bands (which in my biased opinion being in bands and putting on gigs in Brighton is a good idea!) then I have a gig I'm planning for Jan or Feb which would work very well there and I'd be more than happy to take care of that side of things. If not appealing to people though that is totally fine as well!
I'd be inclined to go with a Sunday in Nov to get it done in time, Nov is possible but when I was at Uni we had end of term exams (does that still happen in Dec?) and people are saving for xmas (I might be getting totally pedantic here!). Basically I reckon Nov is possible but if we wait till Feb we can have an awesome proper Brighton zine fest with decent flyers and maybe even some workshops (I know someone who could do screenprinting for example). Are there any side rooms at Westhill for that sort of thing? Or could the room be divided up?
I think finding somewhere that will sleep people in Brighton will be a serious stretch.
here's the details they sent me for west hill http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=fdcb84401e&view=att&am... there is a kitchen there, but no sleeping space

Coupe window not dropping the 1/4 inch
Hey all!.
I'm having a problem and am hoping you all can point me in the right direction.
I have a '01 325Ci and the front windows are not dropping that 1/4 inch when the door closes and retracting the 1/4 inch when the door closes.
The one touch auto feature works well on both sides and the windows go up and down normally.
I read that there is a "reset" feature that will enable the drop feature. I'm not sure it makes a difference, but this is a euro delivery car.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Wow! I guess this one stumpped the panel! No ideas on the procedure?
No body has seemed to be able to fix this...even the dealers... it just comes and goes. I've been there too, but mine start working.
Sometimes the door actuator can be the cause if the window auto up/down reset doesn't fix it.

drift in direct coupled tubes
hello all.
I'm looking at a direct coupled input stage which runs something like a CCS loaded ECC88 into an equally CCS loaded 12BH7 cathode follower. Picture the front end of a Willamson amplifier but the concertina is only driving from the CF output
so far no drama.
my query is then, how does the amp deal with drift of operating points over the life of the tubes? My concern is that even a small change in the steady state anode voltage messes up the operating point of the second tube.
Can anyone shed some light on this? is the drift actually very small? or is some other process going on?
Apologies if this is actually self evident - clearly direct coupled amps work (well) but I'd rather like to understand why... :confused:
The anode voltage of the first stage may well drift, but it doesn't matter because the cathode follower isn't really very bothered about its Vak and it has lots of feedback wrapped around it. Imagine that second stage (before feedback) as having a flat loadline due to the CCS, then all that's happening is that drift from the first stage erodes a little headroom at one end of the other of the cathode follower. Now, if the second stage had gain, drift of that first stage would be far more important...
Hi Andrew,
an effective method for reducing the gm for dc of the input tube is a higher cathode resistor. The anode load reduces the gm by the factor 1+ Ra/rp, the cathode load 1+ gm*Rk. Adjust the bias by a positive voltage on the grid.
Regards Andreas
Use a CCS with a servo like I do in such cases.
thanks for that, I think I see the feedback in the cathode follower is reducing the error (as it would) the cathode is tending to follow the grid anyway so its almost self compensating. Is that about the size of it?
generally though,
If the second stage has gain then, what are the likely problems? I've seen this done with a couple of *sn7 sections, and I guess it works?
I still feel like I'm missing something, If the anode voltage of the first stage changes the second stage operating point is supposed to move... Is the basic rule to assume that the operating point of the second triode is going to be 'in the general area' of -n volts? i.e. realistically you won't get full swing from the second triode?
And if so. what sort of variation is common during the life of the tube (now thats the million dollar question isn't it?!)
Does any one know of any resources that cover tube aging? although to be honest I'm not sure how I'd relate this to the above...
waveborne, I'm fully intending to use a CCS's I already tested this out on a previous amp. :smash:
If it isn't such a daft question then how are you feeding the servo into the CCS - I assume this is what you are up to?
My scratchings this afternoon involved level shifting from the anode of the first tube and setting the grid bias to maintain a "constant" VA - no, it didnt look so pretty then either. :whazzat:
Here you go:
In order to shift levels I use bipolar B+ source.
Re: Thanks
Basically, the first stage DC drift will translate to a second stage bias drift only where a volt or three makes little difference to the first stage, it makes a lot of difference at the grid of the second stage.
In the case of a mu stage, it can easily be coupled directly to a following stage, with no risk of drift, if the CCS of the mu stage consists of a MOSFET and the output is taken from the MOSFET's source. This is based on the fact that biasing the MOSFET's gate to a fixed voltage will also force its source to be at that voltage.
The bias-point can be fixed using a (capacitor-bypassed) potential divider between B+ and ground or, if you don't trust the stability of your PS, you can use a (capacitor-bypassed) zener. Connect the bias-point to the MOSFET's gate using a high value (several megohms) resistor.
Andrew; yes, you've pretty much "got it." Of course, the second stage can't distinguish between a wanted anode movement and an unwanted, so your "general area" supposition is correct. Now, if you go to a differential pair following another, a common drift in anode currents is rejected (although differences are amplified). As to how to minimise drift, regulated heaters and HTs would be a good starting point; have a look at oscilloscope circuits. Nevertheless, I'm fairly sure there's an old valve book with a chapter entitled, "DC amplifiers, and why to avoid them." Pretty well sums it up, really.

Not the community's democrats. the ones supposedly running the nation.
Tonymacs rules page (at least parts of it):
*Tonymac's rules taken down at their request*
Dafuq, idiots ^^
lol i cant believe they actualy asked to delete the rules posting LOL.
like uhh dont tell them our rules... let them find out the banned way.
That is indeed very odd. Copyrighted rules? Can't anybody read their rules in their forum? We don't want to copy their rules (or anything else for that matter), thanks very much.
Classified info I guess
This is because since it was problem for everyone, it even effected users who bought the recommended "CustoMac" builds and they were all begging "Tony, help us! We wait for you to fix this for us". Many of us worked together very hard to figure out the final fix and tons of members contributed in one way or another, final piece to puzzle was even posted by user there first (ElNono and flux84), who also posted here and Clover team implemented fix in record time. True community effort! To wait for it to be applied to Chameleon, then trickle down to Chimera, would be very long wait, and he couldn't hide from angry users forever (curiously one early thread on the issue there was accidentally deleted once it got to like 20 pages of "Help Us!" in a few days). Once a fix was available, he made first post to the thread. Can't blame him as issue was more than any one person could quickly figure out, but think some response would have calmed them down, maybe saying something like "Don't worry. We are aware of the iMessage problem and are actively watching the community forums looking for a fix"? I know that sounds like a jab, but we all do that to some extent. Just some will admit it and give credit where it's due, and some take credit for "finding" what someone else already posted. It was clear by many of the "We wait for you to save us Tony!" posts that too many users there had no idea that in one way or another, many years of work by hundreds of developers has gone into all the "tools" they use, not one person snapping their fingers to make it all done
Thank god tony can't use Clover, they would only rebrand it and sell it.It is already strange that they allowed that iMessage thread to survive.
Please is a word I can appreciate, but I don't think it applies to their rules.....Pleeeeease don't do X,Y,Z or we BAN YOU! is just pretending to be nice. Like saying: Please don't drive over speed limit...or we shoot you and your family.

Yip, same here. I was literally clueless when it came to OS X, I found a Youtube video, and the guy used his tools, and made an awesome, easy to follow how to install video that explained everything. Unfortunately I didn't realize they had sticks so far up their asses when it came to anything outside of their little world.

|Bruins, Lightning scoreless after one
|03.03.11 at 7:42 pm ET
The Bruins and Lightning are as close as it gets in the standings. It seems that has translated to Thursday's game, as the two teams are scoreless after a period of play at the Garden.
The Lightning outshot the Bruins, 10-8, in the period. After an ill-advised maneuver by Tim Thomas behind his net early on, he had to rush back to make a kick-save on Teddy Purcell. Thomas later robbed Mattias Ritola in front with just over 12 minutes left in the period, but the Milan Lucic went to the box afterwards for a clear-as-day cross-check.
Simon Gagne had a great opportunity on the power play, but went the puck across the crease. With 25 seconds remaining on the penalty, Steven Stamos beat Thomas with a wrist-shot but clanked it off the post.
Adam Hall drew the Lightning's only penalty, going off for hooking David Krejci at 10:47. The Bruins are now 1-for-14 on the power play since Tomas Kaberle entered the fold, though they're getting their chances.
Brad Marchand led the B's with two shots in the period. Lightning goalie Mike Smith made a big stop on Patrice Bergeron on perhaps the Bruins' best scoring opportunity thus far.
No time for celebration, as the Bruins, fresh off a 6-0-0 road trip, are back at the Garden for a huge game with the Lightning on Thursday. The teams are tied with 81 points apiece through 63 games, with the B's holding the tie-breaker for second place given that they've won less games via shootout.
It will be Tim Thomas between the pipes, as he'll put his 28-8-6 record on the line after last playing Saturday night in Vancouver. Tuukka Rask started the Bruins' last two, earning victories over the Oilers and Senators.
Thomas is 2-0-0 in two starts against Tampa Bay, allowing four goals with a .944 save percentage.
While the Bruins have won their last six, the Lightning have gone 3-2-1 in the same span. They lost a 2-1 contest to the red-hot Devils on Wednesday.
Here are some pre-game notes:
– Comparisons are nice, but even Roger Clemens would say people are beating references to 1972's perfect six-game road trip with a dead horse.
"I don't look at it at all," Shawn Thornton said after the morning skate. "I honestly don't. It's purely a coincidence as far as I'm concerned.
"We've got a six game thing going here, and it doesn't matter about anything else. We're just trying to get seven in a row and then eight in a row. We'll take it one at time here."
– Claude Julien offered an update on Andrew Ference, who is out with a lower body injury.
"He got examined yesterday by our doctors and things are going extremely well for him," Julien said. "We hope to see him back on the ice the beginning of next week. That could be as early as Sunday if things keep going well."
– No Vincent Lecavalier for the Lightning. He's out with a mid-body injury on which the Lightning haven't elaborated much.
– The three new guys in Tomas Kaberle, Rich Peverley and Chris Kelly will play in the Garden as Bruins for the first time Thursday. Kaberle and Kelly have played five games for the B's since being acquired via trade, while Peverley has four under his belt.
While Bruins fans will welcome all three to the Garden, the focus will likely be on Kaberle, who was the big fish of trade season. Neither of the newcomers have lost a game as a member of the Bruins, and after years of limited team success in Toronto, that's something Kaberle welcomes.
"My first six years I played in the playoffs every year. The last five, it wasn't there. It's tough to always answer the questions to the media of 'why not,'" Kaberle said after the morning skate. "Hopefully we'll have a good rest of the season and prepare for the playoffs."
Kaberle said he is feeling more and more comfortable as he familiarizes himself with the Bruins way.
"I feel good. Obviously it's a great team. Every line's got something on the ice, and everybody can score. It's nice to see that, and with two goalies behind us, we feel pretty comfortable."
– Kaberle is undoubtedly the biggest name the team added when the moves were made, but Kelly and Peverley are fitting in very nicely on the third line. Both were among the leagues better faceoff men at the time they were acquired, and having both taking draws and killing penalties is something Julien likes to see.
"Right now, you've got to be extremely pleased with first of all [Peverley's] faceoffs, how dominant he's been on draws," Julien said. "With that line you've got a guy taking him on the strong side, and Kelly, a lefty and a righty, so you've got to be comfortable with that situation."
"At the same time I think both Kelly and Peverley have seemed to have built some pretty quick chemistry there on the penalty kill as well. They seem to read off each other extremely well."
– Thornton doesn't want the new guys' ability to come in and contribute immediately to go unnoticed. All three players have wound up on the scoring sheet since joining the B's.
"They're a big part of it too. These guys came in and stepped in seamlessly," Thornton said. "It's been a really easy transition for us and them."
– How about this one from the stat truck? Over the last 10 games, Tyler Seguin has more goals than Steven Stamkos. Take that, development.
Well, not exactly. By Stamkos' standards, the Tampa Bay star is in a slump as far as goals go. He has just two over the last 10 games (Seguin has three), but continues to lead the league with 41. Seguin has no points over his last four games.
|Mike Milbury on midday show: 'I like that trend' of physical play from B's
|03.02.11 at 12:57 pm ET
NESN and NBC Sports analyst Mike Milbury made his weekly appearance on the WEEI midday show Wednesday to talk about the red-hot Bruins. To hear the interview, go to the WEEI audio on demand page.
The B's completed a perfect six-game road trip with a 1-0 victory over the Senators on Tuesday night. Milbury said the resurgence of Nathan Horton and Michael Ryder was a key from the trip.
"The sign that was great for me was Nathan Horton doing something to make a difference," Milbury said. "Because Horton and Ryder on the right side have to be active and productive. They've been uneven all year long. I think it's important that they stay this way. The fight [Horton] had against Theo Peckham in Edmonton was a brawl. He came out clearly on top. This guy is tough. If he can get the fuse lit for him, the Bruins are going to be a very dangerous team to beat.
"The same is true of Ryder, who I actually think has skated much better along the road trip, and even prior to the road trip, than he has at any time since I've seen him. The puck's not going in as regularly as I think he'd like, but you can see that he's getting things done."
Tomas Kaberle, acquired from the Maple Leafs last month, is not signed past this season. Asked if it would be worth it to the Bruins to only have the defenseman for a third of a season, Milbury said: "When you have a chance to make a run for the roses, you've got to take it. You've got to take advantage of it."
|Having made their moves, B's making noise on the ice, stay quiet on deadline day
|03.01.11 at 2:44 am ET
It was a generally quiet couple of days leading up the NHL trade deadline throughout the league, but with the way the Bruins have been going, they may not have been a team that needed much more via trade.
The B's had their biggest day in that department 10 days prior to the deadline. Seemingly in an effort to both upgrade the roster quickly and avoid taking chances at the last second, general manager Peter Chiarelli made a couple of big deals on Feb. 18, reeling in Tomas Kaberle from Toronto and a package of Rich Peverley and (less notably) Boris Valabik from Atlanta. With the team having already acquired center Chris Kelly from the Senators earlier in that week, Chiarelli hinted at the post-Kaberle trade press conference that he was done making big deals.
With less than $1 million in cap space, you probably should have seen that coming.
Even so, the trade deadline passed, and the B's moves leading up to it consisted of the following:
– Signing Shane Hnidy
– Trading Brian McGrattan and Sean Zimmerman to the Ducks for David Laliberte and Stefan Chaput, a deal that involved only AHL players.
– Trading Jeff Penner and Mikko Lehtonen's rights to the Wild for Swedish goaltender Anton Khudobin.
Not exactly moves that scream "difference-maker," huh? Well, they don't have to when they also scream "the team's already made its moves."
With Kaberle, Peverley, and Kelly already in the fold, the Bruins were able to use the days leading up to the deadline as a bonding experience while on a Canadian road-trip. While other teams were adding pieces, the Bruins' new pieces were already contributing. Boston has won five straight, including all four since Kaberle came on board.
While much of the discussion following the trade deadline is on how a team with improvements in tow will fare in the offseason, the moves or lack of moves also mean big things for the stretch run of the regular season. It seems that's another area in which the B's might be aided. Already with a six-point lead over the Canadiens in the division despite having played one game less than the Habs this season, the fact that the Canadiens were also quiet over the last couple of days is also encouraging for the B's. The Habs made their biggest deal when they brought in James Wisniewski from the Islanders earlier in the season, and their lack of activity at the deadline is something the B's will take.
|Milan Lucic tallies goal and two assists as Bruins beat Canucks, 3-1
|02.27.11 at 1:01 am ET
Milan Lucic scored what proved to be the game-winning goal and added two assists to lead the Bruins to a 3-1 win over the Western Conference-leading Canucks on Saturday night.
With the game tied, 1-1, Lucic scored his team-leading 27th goal of the season with 4:38 left in the game. David Krejci created the chance by weaving through a slew of Vancouver defenders before circling behind the net and finding Dennis Seidenberg at the point. Roberto Luongo (22 saves) stopped Seidenberg's shot, but Lucic was there to bang home the rebound.
Vancouver's Manny Malhotra opened the scoring 16:58 into the first when he buried a rebound past Tim Thomas (27 saves). Nathan Horton tied it up midway through the second when he took a pass from Lucic and beat Luongo from the low slot. Patrice Bergeron sealed the win with a late empty-netter.
The loss was the Canucks' first of the season in a game in which they scored first, and just their sixth at home. The Bruins are now 4-0-0 on their current road trip.
-It was certainly a nice homecoming for Lucic. Friday night, he was inducted into the "Ring of Honour" for the Vancouver Giants, his junior team. Saturday night, he registered a game-winning goal and two assists against his hometown NHL team. Lucic now has four goals in four games on this road trip.
-The Canucks came into the game with the NHL's best power play, converting 25.1 percent of such opportunities. But the Bruins held Vancouver's man advantage scoreless in three attempts Saturday. They did a great job of making it difficult for the Canucks to get set up, and actually held them to zero shots on their first power play of the night.
-After going three games without a point, Horton now has four in his last four games. More importantly, he had five shots on goal and was buzzing around the offensive zone all night. The Bruins need Horton to be a scorer down the stretch, and it looks like he's starting to become just that.
–Tomas Kaberle registered his first point as a Bruin with the second assist on Horton's goal. He played well in his first two games with the B's and the power play has been moving the puck well with him as the quarterback, but he had been held off the score sheet until Saturday night.
–Andrew Ference left the game in the first period with a lower body injury and did not return. Saturday's signing of Shane Hnidy looked smart no matter what, but it could look even smarter if the injury to Ference turns out to be anything serious. Ference is currently tied with Adam McQuaid for the team lead in plus/minus at plus-24.
-You can probably count on one hand how many times Brad Marchand has been mentioned under this section. But Saturday night, he took two penalties and posted a minus-1 rating. It marked the fourth time this season Marchand has made two visits to the sin bin in one game. Luckily for him, the Bruins' penalty kill was able to bail him out.
-The third line of Rich Peverley, Chris Kelly and Michael Ryder is now scoreless in two games together. It's certainly nothing to panic about, and obviously it's going to take some time for them to develop chemistry since none of them has ever played together before, but the Bruins will need them to be productive.
|Shawn Thornton on D&H: Tomas Kaberle 'one of the best defensemen in the league'
|02.21.11 at 12:55 pm ET
Bruins forward Shawn Thornton, while on his way to the airport for the Bruins' road trip that starts with a game Tuesday in Calgary, checked in with the Dale & Holley show Monday and talked about the team's recent roster changes. To hear the interview, go to the Dale & Holley audio on demand page.
Asked if there was any tension around the team last week, Thornton acknowledged that there was. "There always is this time of year," he said. "The media obviously reports it. I think it gets worse these days, with 'I'm not bad-mouthing anybody, but ' countless blogs and stuff that nobody really has to [be accountable]. You can just throw stuff against the wall and hope it sticks. There's a lot of names being thrown around nowadays. I think everybody's hoping that they get one right. So, yeah, there's a little bit of tension. I think the best thing to do is not try to pay too much attention to it."
Thornton had high praise for new Bruins Tomas Kaberle, Chris Kelly and Rich Peverley. "I've known Tomas for a long time," he said. "We were in the minors together for a little bit, actually. The way he moves the puck and the way he sees the ice when he has the puck ' even without it ' he's such a smart player. He's one of the best defensemen in the league, and I think we're very, very fortunate to have him."
Of Kelly, Thornton said: "He can skate, he can shoot, he competes really hard. I think he's a good pickup for us."
Thornton said the adjustment period for the new Bruins shouldn't be long, especially considering their age and the fact that Peverley comes from Atlanta, where first-year Thrashers coach Craig Ramsay is using a style similar to the one used when Ramsay was an assistant in Boston the past three seasons. "I think it should be pretty seamless, being that they're older guys," Thornton said. "Kelly, Peverly, Kaberle ' they've all been around the league a bunch. '¦ The fact that Kelly's been in the league for six, seven years makes it a little easier than being maybe 20 or 21."
Bruins goalie Tim Thomas challenged Canadiens netminder Carey Price to a fight when the teams met in Boston earlier this month. While it didn't go so well for Thomas, Thornton was impressed with the effort and strategy. "His game plan was pretty good for a guy fighting somebody a lot bigger," Thornton said. "I've actually used his game plan before. But when you miss your grab on the way in, sometimes it goes all out the window. And it did for him. But you know what? He did a good job. He protected himself well.
"He'll be the first to tell you it wasn't much of a fight. But that was the loudest I've heard the Garden I think in a long time, when those two squared off. It was pretty fun."
|Brian Burke clears up 'misinformation' in post-trade presser
|02.19.11 at 3:55 am ET
Great stuff from Brian Burke's presser on Friday. The Maple Leafs general manager went out of his way to clear up what he called "misinformation" this week surrounding the dealings between he and Tomas Kaberle's camp. Here's what he had to say (video below):
"The player did not want to leave. I want to be clear on that. He asked for an extension several times, and I didn't feel we were in a position to meet what I thought his demands would be. I said to him, 'You've got to work with us to get something if you want to, and if not we'll go from there.'
"He came back and he said that he would like us to start with the Boston Bruins. I said, 'OK, that makes sense. We'll try to get [Kaberle] there, but we're not accepting a one team list from any agent or any player. We set our price, which was a first-round pick and a prospect off our list, not their list. I said, 'If Boston meets that, we'll make the deal, and if they don't, we want two more teams. And if we [can't make it work with those teams], we want two more teams after that.'"
Here's Burke talking about his team's chances of still making the playoffs, and why he didn't feel it was worth keeping Kaberle if it meant they'd be a No. 8 seed and get their rears kicked in the first round. It's clearly not something he wants to talk about at length, as the second video shows.

Stupid seat memory recall feature issue.
My mom has a 2011 perfomance awd. The rke seat recall feature is turned off (who would want the seat to move up and make getting in difficult upon door opening anyway). She has her settings programmed to driver 1 using the seat buttons. Each time she gets in she uses memory seat button 1 by holding it till it fully adjusts then releasing and goes on her merry way. The problem comes in when I drive it I leave it where the seat ends up using the easy exit seat feature. After I drive it a few times to a couple places lock and unlock doors using the fob it looses her button 1 memory like it is overwritten or something. I am sure the rke seat recall is off as i tested it by tuning it on and off by having the check mark there or not in the configure menus (why can't the use the words on and off)? But that it not the issue. It is turned off. This last weekend when I visited her I used the second remote that she does not use and made her hit lock and unlock with her remote before she entered the vehicle when she was going to go somewhere and the remote I used was not near the vehicle. It still lost her memory settings on the seat 1 button. This never happens if she is the only driver. Short of trying to drive it and hit her seat button one and getting crunched up for a second just before turning it off I am at a loss. Anyone else experience this? Thanks.
Re: Stupid seat memory recall feature issue.
Not me personally, but i have heard of people that have the problem. The dealers are aware and a reflash is in order.When you turn your car on, does it return the favour? '14 Cadillac ATS Performance 3.6L AWD in Son of a Gun Grey Metallic and Morello Red Interior

Re: Stupid seat memory recall feature issue.
I have had this problem since day one, I purchased my premium 10 SRX in August of 2010. Cadillac has never been able to fix it. It has been in at least five times for this problem...
Try an experiment - the next time it doesn't remember the seat memory button setting, move the seat forward, almost all the way and then press and hold seat memory #1 and see if it now moves to the correct position. This happens on mine, it really does remember the position, but will not move to it, pressing button 1 or 2 (both set for different drivers) do nothing until I manually move the seat forward and then use the seat memory button. This only occurs after changing drivers, if there is only one driver of the vehicle you will most likely never see this problem.
Re: Stupid seat memory recall feature issue.
Thanks to both of you for the quick responses and I'll try your experiment larryk. It will be a couple weeks beore i get back down to see her but it is worth a try. I'm also going to experiment with getting her seat in her settings before turning off to see if it works. it'll be a hassle but if that is what has to be done and the dealer can't fix then that's what we'll do. You also confirmed my other idea to programm both settings 1 and 2 to her won't do it as if it wigs out on 1 it will on both.

Re: Stupid seat memory recall feature issue.
From day one on my 2010 SRX I have had memory recall issues. Some people had their modules replaced. For me when I bring it to the dealers they cannot reproduce this problem so they can't fix it. This is a known problem and their has been pages and pages on this forum from people who had some type of memory recall problem. Unfortunately dealers and Cadillac will not fix anything that they cannot be reproduced by them.
Re: Stupid seat memory recall feature issue.
Every time I've taken it in for this problem I explain that it retains the memory for several weeks before losing it. Unless they want to pay for a rental car long enough for the problem to appear, they'd better take my word for it. If your dealer is telling you they have to see the problem before they can fix it, essentially they're calling you a liar. What, do they think we have nothing better to do than fabricate stories of imaginary defects? The problem here is with your specific dealer. Explain to them that others have experienced the exact same problem and had their modules replaced and reprogrammed without the service dept. actually witnessing it. See what they say.

Can a minor be questioned without a parent present?
Question Details:
My 16 year-old was arrested and charged with several things. The cop was asking her questions without me there. She was with a friend and he just turned 20. They searched his phone and found some pictures of her wearing nothing and now they are arresting him for child pornogophy. Also, they found a text from my daughter to him saying she would perform a sex act on him and they both are getting charged for sexual battery.
Yes, the police can question a minor without their parent(s) present if that minor is not in custody. This often happens when an officer has a reasonable belief that a minor has violated the law. They can detain the minor to conduct an investigation. During this initial detention, the police are not required to let a minor call their parents. However, if the minor is in custody (i.e. arrest), that changes things. In such a case, they have the right to call their parents and have their parents present during questioning. Basically, anytime that the minor's Miranda rights are implicated they have a right to speak with their parents and have them present. Note: Regardless of age, if someone is in custody and not given the Miranda warning no statements made by them can be used later against them. However, prior to being placed in custody any statements made can be used; or if they were read their rights and made voluntary statements after, those statements may be used.

Blue Jays minus $1.25 hosting Red Sox Is there any reason or proof to trust the Red Sox and Clay Buchholz on the road in this matchup? I certainly can't find any. Boston has lost eight in a row. Just once during this span have the Red Sox scored more than three runs. Buchholz has been brutal all season and that hasn't changed since the All-Star break. The Red Sox have lost each of the past six times Buchholz has taken the mound. He's compiled a 7.05 ERA during this span. Buchholz has a 7.15 ERA in four outings against Toronto this season. Boston hasn't been good against better competition going 6-18 versus opponents above .500. They have lost 10 of the past 11 times to Toronto, including the last six. Blue Jays lefty J.A. Happ is 2-1 with a 1.88 ERA during his last four home starts. He's faced Boston four times the past two seasons going 3-1 with a 2.70 ERA, including winning both starts against the Red Sox this year. Boston has lost 15 of the last 21 times it has faced a southpaw. Happ may not have to deal with David Ortiz either. Ortiz, who leads the Red Sox in homers and RBI's, left yesterday's game after fouling a ball off his foot. In addition to this free selection, I have a Triple Star August Total of the Month play going today. I am 15-7 (68 percent) on my last 22 Triple Stars. It can be found here on my home page along with my college football season subscription, which is in the final day of offering the lowest discount ever on a college football season plus bowls. http://pregame.com/pregamepros/pro-bettor/bettor.aspx?id=7746#capper.

Thanks Danny. I think the Timberwolves made out quite well in the Kevin Love deal. Do you agree?

Edmonton-based network will improve the quality of life of Canadians
February 6, 2015 – Edmonton, Alberta – Industry Canada
The Honourable Rona Ambrose, Minister of Health, on behalf of her colleague, the Honourable Ed Holder, Minister of State (Science and Technology), today announced that GlycoNet, a new national research network, is receiving $27.3 million over five years to develop new drugs and vaccines for conditions such as influenza, genetic diseases and diabetes.
GlycoNet will build on Canada's international leadership in glycomics during the last 50 years. GlycoNet researchers will analyze the function of glycomes (or carbohydrates) in the body and find ways to take advantage of their biological role to fight various diseases. Bringing together more than 60 researchers from across Canada who work in such disciplines as chemistry, biochemistry, biology and immunology, the network will help develop new drugs and vaccines to improve the health and well-being of Canadians.
Today's investment is the result of the most recent competition in the Networks of Centres of Excellence (NCE) program. The competition resulted in four new networks receiving funding, which includes GlycoNet, and one existing network being renewed for a second five-year term.
NCEs mobilize a critical mass of expertise from across the country, bringing together health, natural and social scientists as well as engineers. Partners from industry, government and the not-for-profit sector contribute additional expertise and support.
Quick facts
- On December 15, 2014, the Government of Canada named five research networks to conduct groundbreaking research that is focused on addressing major social, economic, or health- and life sciences–related issues:
- Aging Gracefully across Environments using Technology to Support Wellness, Engagement, and Long Life—AGE-WELL (Toronto, Ontario)
- Biotherapeutics for Cancer Treatment—BioCanRX (Ottawa, Ontario)
- Canadian Glycomics Network—GlycoNet (Edmonton, Alberta)
- Canadian Arrhythmia Network—CANet (London, Ontario)
- NeuroDevNet (Vancouver, British Columbia)
- With these new grants, the Networks of Centres of Excellence program currently funds 14 networks.
- Recently, Prime Minister Stephen Harper delivered on the government's commitment to provide an updated science, technology and innovation strategy. The strategy, Seizing Canada's Moment, is a vision and a road map for strengthening Canada's position as a global leader in scientific research while looking to harness greater Canadian innovations that create jobs, increase prosperity and improve the quality of life of Canadians.
"Through our updated science, technology and innovation strategy, our government is making the necessary investments to push the boundaries of knowledge, create jobs and prosperity, and improve the quality of life of Canadians. The newest Networks of Centres of Excellence will undertake research in the important areas of biochemistry, cancer, arrhythmia, aging and brain development, leveraging nationwide talent and resources to tackle social and economic challenges that are important to Canadians."– Ed Holder, Minister of State (Science and Technology)
"Our government is committed to investing in world-class research networks such as GlycoNet, which will develop new drugs and vaccines to fight diseases that affect millions of Canadians. These investments will improve our quality of life and contribute to the creation of a stronger, more innovative economy and a more prosperous Canada."– Rona Ambrose, Minister of Health
"GlycoNet will bring together the top researchers in glycomics to develop treatments for illnesses ranging from diabetes to tuberculosis. On behalf of the federal research funding agencies, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research is delighted to support this promising collaboration between researchers from different disciplines and partners from different sectors. GlycoNet will join the impressive lineup of NCEs that are already helping drive innovation in Canada."– Dr. Alain Beaudet, President, Canadian Institutes of Health Research
"The network will build on the activities of the Alberta Glycomics Centre and the tremendous jurisdictional strength Canada has in this important and rapidly evolving field. GlycoNet will become an international research and translation hub in glycomics and a crucial driver for novel solutions to unmet medical needs, including vaccines, drugs and devices."– Dr. Todd Lowary, Scientific Director, GlycoNet

With a stop at Stony Point, Betty's Bay to see the penguins (yes, it was still very windy as the photos show), it was onwards along the picturesque coastal winding route.
After Gordon's Bay we stopped for lunch at Hermanus where we had planned to stay overnight, but with the wind still so strong here, what does one do for the rest of the day?
At the local "i" visitor information they told us of the special that the Garden Route Game Lodge were offering several hours away. Overnight stay, dinner, breakfast with 2 hour morning game drive to try and see the big 5 on their malaria free private game reserve.
I was not expecting much having seen the animals out in the wild. Tim had seen them many years ago when he went on his African safari but it was more than reasonable.
The condition of the animals surprised me. They were feed so did not have to hunt for their meals. Overweight "yes" to put it mildly ... but at least it was an excellent attempt to keep these species alive and breeding. For those who can not make it to a larger game park, this is a good compromise. Yes, I was disappointed in many ways ...
The meals were stupendous and accommodation more than wonderful capped off by another stunning sunset. A little heaven after the camping, Being low season it wasn't full.
Time to leave and eastward passing through several more sea side resort towns that were so empty I would hate to be here in high season ... but can easily see why this beautiful sandy coast line is so popular.

Most Coloradoans recognize Janet Buchan Elway, but what they may not know about is her status as a world-class athlete, her role as a devoted mother and her dedication to children's causes.
It's not often you meet a woman of her stature and walk away feeling you've just met a new best friend. Elway's urbane style is magnetic — you feel like you've known her for a lifetime. She accomplishes all of the personal, family and charitable demands made of her with the grace and aplomb of a first lady.
Her elite athletic career got a kick start her junior year at Woodrow Wilson High School in Tacoma. While swimming at the Tilt meet in Paris, she broke an American record in the short course 400-meter individual medley — butterfly, back, breast and freestyle.
Following graduation, Elway earned a spot at the World University games in Mexico City. Two days before the meet, she contracted stomach flu and suffered a high fever and chills. The day of the meet, in a weakened condition, she competed once again in the 400-meter IM. As one of the most physically challenging swimming events of all, the IM requires the utmost strength and concentration. Showing an amazing amount of fortitude and athleticism, even though weakened, Elway captured the gold. It seemed for a long while that she owned the 400 IM.
Three nationally recognized swimming schools recruited her in 1979 —USC, the University of Texas and Stanford. "I was just ready to sign with USC when the Stanford offer for a full-tuition scholarship arrived, and I was so glad, as that was the school I wanted the most," Elway says.
She couldn't have had a more stellar performance as a freshman. In the collegiate national championship meet in Las Vegas, Elway not only set the national record in her event, but she was the high point winner for the entire meet, accumulating the highest number of points in six events. "It was pretty great my freshman year at Stanford when we were able to win the meet, and I was able to contribute to the team like that," she recalls.
While training her freshman year as a Stanford Cardinal, she set her goals on the 1980 Olympic trials. However, after President Carter opted to boycott the Olympics in Moscow because of Russia's invasion of Afghanistan, the Olympics were no longer an option. Then, after all the years of arm rotations, she suffered a shoulder injury that required surgery. Ligaments and tendons were repaired by a nationally known surgeon, but Elway was left with limited range of motion. She never fully recovered, and her comeback proved to be a series of athletic disappointments.
"It was hard to hang up my Speedo swimsuit, but I had to. I couldn't get back to the same level I was at before the surgery," she says. Her accomplished swimming career was over. She swam with the team for another year and a half, but eventually gave up the sport. She still swims, and it's not hard to imagine her fit, lithe physique gracefully piercing the waters of the pool today as she did in her glory days.
The next phase
With athletics behind her, Elway concentrated on academics, friends and dating. She says, "It gave me time to have a normal life, and I enjoyed that." After graduation in 1983, with a B.S. in sociology, Janet became engaged to John Elway. The couple married in March 1984 and moved to Denver to become a part of the Denver Broncos organization, and it seemed from the moment the plane landed in Denver, they were catapulted into the spotlight.
She had four children in six years and was busy being a mom. "I was very naive in a positive way when I was first married. I insulated myself and the kids from the press and the spotlight," she says. The four Elway children — Jessica, born October 1985; Jordan, June 1987; Jack, August 1989; and Juliana, March 1991 — are Elway's shining stars.
To say she was busy is an understatement. She spent her days running the kids to and from school, sports, Bible study and church. "I was married to a bigger-than-life man, and my role was to keep the house as calm and normal as possible," she explains. Eventually, as the kids grew older and fame evolved, Bronco events and fame became central to their lives.
Still, Elway was determined to have their children lead "normal" lives. Each child attended public schools. "I didn't feel we were different. I just wanted the kids to have a good education and knew our schools, Cherry Hills Village Elementary and Cherry Hills High School, were great schools," she says.
Elway dedicated her time to her children, and they have always come first in her life. In the early years, the girls were involved in soccer, and Jack, in football and basketball. Being a devoted mother "was an easy role," she explains. Having spent many weekends at Banbury soccer fields, she comments, "I wanted to spend as much time as possible with my kids, and so I accompanied them on sports trips as a chaperone. Those are great memories. I had so much fun being with them." It was hard missing some of their games but occasionally necessary when the events overlapped. "If I missed a game one week, I'd make sure I'd be there the next," she says.
With all of the children close in age, sports and school activities demanded many hours and miles of driving. It's hard to imagine Elway's busy life, but as she reflects on it, you sense the love and closeness she has for every moment. She raced between fields, courts and schools every day. She also volunteered with the Kempe foundation for child abuse. "I didn't have a lot of time to do volunteer work, but did as much as I could. I've always loved children," Elway says.
Reaching out to others
Today, she also works with another child-related charity — Adam's Camp. Her close friend Karel Horney's son, Adam, has cerebral palsy, and Horney created a camp at Snow Mountain Ranch for children like hers. Elway joined the board of directors and volunteers in the community to raise awareness of children with disabilities. The camp, which offers programs for special-needs kids from infants to teenagers, was an inspiration for Elway's eponymously named Janet's Camp.
Janet's Camp came at the urging of her longtime friend, Jean Galloway. "Jean is one of the kindest, wisest and most generous women I know. When she suggested this, I said yes immediately," Elway says, explaining the camp's goal. Every summer she turns her backyard into a huge adult- camp-themed party. The beneficiaries are children, of course. Some 250 underprivileged children will be sponsored to attend YMCA camps in Colorado. She says, "I think the fund-raiser will generate enough money to sponsor these kids, and it is truly rewarding for me." She hopes to raise $100,000, enough to support these children for two weeks of camp.
Development coordinator Laurie Porter is also instrumental in helping with Janet's Camp. She says, "We knew a couple of years ago that we had to implement a program to subsidize the children we were turning away." In 2005 they turned away at least 100 children because of a lack of available funds.
The YMCA wanted a unique, intimate event to encourage leaders in the community to join their drive to give children a chance, and with Elway's involvement, they felt many community leaders and professional athletes would attend to support her special cause.
Elway feels very grateful to her board of directors: Jamie Angelique, David Alexander, Josh Hanfling, Lisa Herzlich, Kimball Howell, Diane Honig, Betsy Wills, Beth Jackman, and her inspiration, Jean Galloway. "Every one of these members has worked very hard to make this camp a reality for the kids," she says.
It doesn't take much urging to persuade Elway to talk about her children. The oldest daughter, Jessica, followed her mother's footsteps and attends Stanford on a basketball scholarship. She has often been called upon to assume a leadership role with the other siblings. "When she spoke for the other kids at the Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony, we were all so very proud of her," Elway recalls.
Jordan was the captain of her lacrosse team at Cherry Creek High School and is now at the University of Virginia on a lacrosse scholarship. "With the girls on both coasts, it's a challenge to get out to see them play, but I will get to a couple of games each year," Elway says.
Of all the children, Jack probably has the most pressure on him, because of the lineage of football greats. As the quarterback at Cherry Creek High School, Jack is not overwhelmed, even with the amount of pressure he has on his shoulders. "Even though there are tremendous expectations of him, he is very balanced and confident. He absolutely loves the sport of football," Elway says. Her biggest concern is that he will not get hurt and that he has fun.
Growing up the baby of the family, Juliana (JuJu) spent many years in a car seat traveling to the other kids' sporting and school events. "Juliana is just a love. We are so close, and I have the fondest memories of toting her on my hip and holding her hand," Elway remarks with a smile. She recalls a funny story about JuJu's birth: "All of us are blondes, and when Juliana was born with pitch-black hair, for about the first 30 seconds I had to convince John that she in fact was his baby."
One of Elway's fondest memories is from a post-Super Bowl win. The family was expected to ride in a fire truck for a parade through downtown Denver, even though Jordan was sick with strep throat. Here she was in the middle of a laudatory parade in the Elways' honor, but in the back of her mind was her sick daughter. She recalls, "We laid coats in the truck to let her have a place to sleep. We were clueless as to how surreal the feelings would be. It was wild fun, and we were so proud to be part of it.
"I loved having my family together to share this. The kids were just overwhelmed, especially when the crowds were shouting their names," she says.
A focus on her spiritual side
Now divorced, Elway devotes her life to Christianity — the invaluable essence of her existence. Always a devout Christian, she now travels to speaking engagements relaying her story. "It's important for me to share my testimonial of why Jesus is so important in my life," she says with conviction.
In keeping with the spirit of Christianity, she serves as a Young Life hostess, providing a safe and welcoming environment for teenagers. For the past two years, Elway has opened her home every Monday night to 50 to 60 kids for pizza, sharing and socializing. "We've been involved with Young Life for 10 or 12 years, and my kids have really enjoyed it," she says.
Ultimately, it is when Elway reflects on love, faith and family that we get a glimpse into the core happiness in her life. Her dignified demeanor and warm, gracious personality expose a depth of character not often seen in a woman of her prominence.

Tips For Perfecting Your Online Marketing Campaign
Occasionally you will be struck with a great business idea – one of those rare light bulb moments. Once an idea has popped in your head, be prepared to use it to help your business. Read the following article and you will find some great Web marketing tips.
Every signature you have on the Internet should have a link of your website's URL. If you are a member of online message boards and forums, you should put a link to your website in the signature. Put a link in the signature of all of your email communications. That way, you will be able to generate awareness of your site among your entire group of contacts and also potentially boost your search engine rank. Make sure to include a line of catchy text that encourages viewers to follow the link.
Always keep a track of what your competition is doing and see if you can boost your own sales from using, or modifying, some of their tactics. If they are succeeding, you need to analyze what they are doing.
One way to increase the number of customer contacts is to develop a page asking for email addresses. It prompts visitors for their emails. You should offer them a promo item as an exchange for the email address. This makes them feel like they are getting something in return for giving up their valuable information.
Learn about your competition. It can be easy to look over the competition's website and learn the features their site has. You can also investigate their traffic stats and compare them to your site.
There are all sorts of different marketing techniques you can implement once you open a business, but one you should never overlook is direct marketing. Contact your customers via email, phone or fax to let them know about any upcoming specials you may have. There are many ways to get the information of potential customers, including websites and the yellow pages.
Any claim you make about products on your site should always be backed up with proof. Nobody will trust you by words alone, sometimes it is best to provide actual video's on your site which show your potential proof that the product actually does work. This is an excellent example of why selling products you have, in fact, used is always a good idea.
Don't spend too much for advertising. You do not want to pay more money for something that isn't in your business's best interest. It is important to make sure you get what you are paying for.
The internet has obscured much of what occurs behind the scenes at many businesses. This technique is especially important for small, owner-operated businesses that depend upon more personal sales strategies, which can lead to life-long customers.
When you have yourself in the right position, there is nothing to keep you from making a profit. These tips will put you where you want to be, do not delay in implementing these ideas in your own marketing programs. If you are willing to put forth the time and effort, you will be one step closer to success.
