If You're Thinking of Living in: Scarsdale
By TESSA MELVIN
Published: April 25, 1993
ONE fine June evening in 1922, a representative of the Suchard chocolate company walked into the Scarsdale Village Board meeting and proposed building a factory on 10.5 acres on Palmer Avenue. His action abruptly ended a debate then going on about the need for a villagewide zoning law, made possible by recent state enabling legislation.
"For 20 years, we have been developing a village of homes," said Arthur Boniface, then the board's president. "Nothing in the nature of a factory has come into the village."
And nothing has in the 72 years since Scarsdale became the first suburban community in New York State to adopt a complete zoning law. It has successfully fought off several challenges to its right to be a community of homes alone.
Each spring, ducks swim on ponds and swimming pools behind stately houses. Each fall, residents collect their fallen leaves, from which the village creates 30,000 tons of compost.
Residents enjoy the 500-acre Saxon Woods County Park, with its outdoor pool, hiking trails and picnic areas; 20 village parks; 25 public tennis courts and 6 public paddle courts; one public and 2 private golf courses; 4 community pools and more than 300 children's athletic teams, which often play at the 18-acre Crossway Field.
This coterminous town and village 24 miles north of midtown Manhattan was settled in 1702 by Caleb Heathcote, an English merchant. Tudor-style commercial buildings that dominate the small downtown recall the village's heritage.
The Scarsdale Union Free School District is consistently regarded as one of the nation's best and in results published in January, Scarsdale High School students had the highest average Scholastic Aptitude Test scores in Westchester.
Their high school was recently cited by the Federal Office of Education as "one of the 144 exemplary schools to which others may look for patterns of success."
The seven classic school buildings are well kept. School officials are currently completing a $25 million renovation, redoing all roofs, updating the heating systems and replacing windows.
Scarsdale High School, parts of which were built in 1915, is being substantially renovated and on Friday evening the poet Galway Kinnell, a Pulitzer winner, will give a reading in the school library to help celebrate its renovation.
Reflecting the community's growing international population, the school system has "lots of emphasis on multicultural understanding," said Dr. Richard D. Hibschman, Superintendent of Schools, a situation he called "a great opportunity for students."
Other special programs include the Scarsdale Alternative School, an experimental college-oriented program offering students a smaller setting and a participatory, democratic structure.
Of the 282 Scarsdale High seniors, 15 are National Merit Scholarship semifinalists and 36 got letters of commendation. Last year, 99 percent of the 296 seniors went on to further education, all but 3 percent at four-year colleges and universities. But achievement does have a price, Dr. Hibschman said.
"There is a lot of pressure in this community for kids to succeed," he said, "and sometimes I worry we keep them too busy. We ought to give our kids more time to play kick the can."
Schools may be a major -- perhaps the major -- attraction, but, says Lowell J. Tooley, who has been the village manager for 32 years, "people move to Scarsdale to be comfortable in a lot of ways."
"They go walking, biking, hiking, and they can shoot baskets and play tennis all over town," he said.
They also participate actively in any of several dozen community organizations. The League of Women Voters, with 683 members, is the largest suburban chapter in the country.
"THIS is an intense community which works hard, plays hards, thinks hard and certainly values its schools," said the chapter's president, Ann Rose Simon, who moved to Scarsdale six years ago. "This is not a laid-back community."
The 900 members of the Town and Village Civic Club, which was founded in 1904, study community issues and help administer the nonpartisan village elections. There are 18 election districts in Scarsdale, and candidates for village posts are chosen by delegates from six groups of three E.D.'s each. Every so often someone tries to buck the system, which has been in place 61 years, and run independently, but none has ever won a village post.
Residents strongly support the Scarsdale Adult School, a 55-year-old evening adult education program with a wide-ranging curriculum. They study music at the 90-year-old Hoff-Barthelson Music School and nature at the 10-acre village-owned Weinberg Nature Center.
They worry about high taxes, problems with downtown parking and how the downtown development plan proposed by the Penn Central Corporation, with its mixture of residential and commercial use, will affect the village. And, according to a recent survey, they wish they had a local movie theater and more downtown restaurants.
The Parkway Cafe is a popular local hangout that serves unusual omelets, including low-cholesterol varieties. People willing to drive to the edge of town will find Il Cigno, called one of the county's best Italian restaurants by a New York Times critic.
Residents pay for their privileges. Property taxes are about $11,000 for a median-priced house. "We don't have development of the tax base to make things affordable," said Mr. Tooley.
Nevertheless, he said, the village has had no trouble attracting newcomers. "Housing stock is kept up," he said, "and deterioriated real estate just doesn't exist."
"The market is the best it has been in five years," said Lynne B. Clark, vice president of Julia B. Fee Real Estate, the largest agency in the village, and lower interest rates have enabled "people who thought they couldn't afford Scarsdale to come here."
Last year, the agency sold 15 houses for $250,000 to $310,000, the first time so many houses were sold at so low a price in one year. Most were in the Edgewood section where lots and houses are smaller and prices tend to be lower than in the four other village areas.
A three-bedroom house with one and a half baths on a 50- by 100-foot lot on Boulevard Road in Edgewood was recently on the market for $300,000. It was eventually taken off the market and now is being rented for $2,380 a month.
The five neighborhoods -- Edgewood, Heathcote, Fox Meadow, Greenacres and Quaker Ridge -- appear to share the same eclectic mixture of homes, with some small lots and estates in each one. The estate section is concentrated in the Heathcote area, where homes on 3 to 5 acres commonly sell for $1 million and up. Newer homes are mostly in Quaker Ridge.
There are two co-op complexes. In the 116-unit Chateau, eight four-story buildings put up in the 1920's, two-bedroom units with fireplaces sell for an average of $225,000. The 45 units in the six-story Popham Hall building range from $250,000 to $300,000.
The one rental building, at 45 Popham Road, has 64 apartments, with two-bedroom units renting for $2,000 a month.
One group that in the last decade has been attracted by the schools and recreation are Japanese. They now account for 20 percent of the population, and the village's annual report is bilingual -- Japanese and English.
Hoping to reduce tensions created by the recent growth of the Japanese population, a group of prominent Japanese residents in the village has begun a local cultural festival with the support of the newly formed Japanese Community Association.
Next month the violinist Midori will lecture and perform at the junior high school and the high school for students there. There also are seminars on cultural understanding, free trips to Japan, a film festival and special programs for the elderly.
Photos: For 72 years Scarsdale has remained a "village of homes," resisting commercial infringement. Commuter trains and Tudor architecture are iconic; below, one of the homes lining Richbell Close. (Photographs by Eddie Hausner for The New York Times) Chart: "Gazetteer" Population: 16,987 (1990 census). Area: 6.4 square miles. Median household income: $127,832 (1990 census). Median price of a one-family house: $585,000. Tax on median-priced house: $11,000. Median price of two-bedroom co-op: $225,000. Public school expenditure per pupil: $12,028. Distance from midtown Manhattan: 24 miles. Rush-hour commutation to midtown: 31 minutes on Metro-North, $128 monthly, $6 one-way. Government: Mayor (William G. McCreery) and six trustees, elected to two-year terms. Codes: Area, 914, ZIP 10583. Shaping a Suburb: In 1891, a group of Manhattan investors established the Arthur Suburban Home Company, bought 150 acres in Scarsdale, what its brochure called "New York City's healthiest and prettiest suburb." It sold lots, but also offered two homes for sale: a "small cottage" for $5,500 with "easy terms" or a "large cottage" for $8,500 on the same easy terms. Prospects were told that a monthly ticket on the Harlem Railroad was only $5.75, or "9 cents a ride." The legacy of this effort to change Scarsdale from a rural town to a residential suburb is Arthur Manor, now a neighborhood within the Edgewood section of the village. Some of the original homes still exist. Map of Scarsdale.

Toppits replied to Zenskas's topic in Hard Drive and Removable MediaSince today my drive is bricked, too (the reason, why I found this forum). But their serial number check thinks it's not affected. Checked the drive connected to the onboard-controller and connected to a controller-card and changed the sata-cable. It's both the same. Bought my drive in November 2008.

Sail Date: July 24, 2014
Reviewed: 2 years ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Suite
We chose Oceania because it was supposed to be more upscale and luxurious. They boast about their 2014 renovations but I found the ship to be tired and outdated. We upgraded to a penthouse suite expecting new and beautiful accommodations but instead we found a tired room with very old closets and dresser which were scratched, worn and dented. The bathroom did not appear to be renovated either; it looked as if it were straight out of the 1990's. We were on an Alaskan cruise with cold, rainy weather which Oceania does not have control over, but they do have control over the heating system in the room. Our heater was not properly working and had to have maintenance repair. Even after the repair the room still wasn't toasty warm. The shower was lack luster as well. In seven days the only warm shower I was able to get was in the spa after my massage. Apparently, something within the faucet wasn't working because the water should be supplied directly from the boiler. Other parts of the ship looked old, worn and not very well maintained (peeling paint, rust and more scratched wood). If Oceania is going to use their renovation as a selling point, then implement a full and total renovation. Otherwise, advertise their efforts as a partial renovation. We spoke to several people who have sailed on the Regatta prior to Oceania owning the vessel and they stated the only changes they saw was most of the furniture. There is a lot more than furniture on a ship.
If you are a bit younger (65 or below, we are mid and late 40's) you will probably be very bored on this ship. The activities while at sea and in the evenings were few and geared towards an older population. I cannot make this stuff up... bingo and needlepoint were some of the activities on board. Now, we are not wild night clubbers but when we are on vacation we would like to have the option to have a cocktail in a lounge past 11:30 or midnight without the cleaning staff vacuuming under our chairs. The casino is managed by another company and was only open a couple of hours a day. I am not a gambler but out of sheer boredom I was willing to give it a go... this wasn't possible most of the time. When the casino was open, only two or three of their five or six tables were open.
The food quality was very good but we had to eat when they allowed us to eat unless we ordered room service. Most ships have a full time buffet available if you would like to eat during off hours. Breakfast ended at 10 A and if I wanted to work out in the morning I would have to forego breakfast. The one morning we arrived towards the end of serving hours (10 min to spare) and wanted some simple items to take back to our room, eggs, yogurt and fruit. The manager argued with us and we were told breakfast was over. We pointed out the time and I can assure you, we received our breakfast items as we were already frustrated with the entire situation.
The ports of call are very small and do not have much to offer. We booked excursions at each port through Oceania but had plenty of time to spare. One stop, Prince Rupert, didn't even have a town to explore, all residential. Don't expect to book an outside excursion in Prince Rupert; they do not have this option available.
To add to my frustrations, on our last day in the morning I return to my room to find all of our luggage haphazardly thrown onto our bed. It projected an image of "we are done with you, go home". Don't get me wrong, I was counting the hours until I could get off of the Regatta. I believe I am capable of retrieving my own luggage from under my bed when I am ready to pack, I do not appreciate the "hint" they were giving and the luggage was in our way throughout the day. I understand if it was later in the evening and our luggage was still not prepared for departure to meet their deadlines, but this was during breakfast.
I could go on for several pages but I will only mention one last item, our last day was the only sunny warm day. The pool area was quite nice to utilize since we had been stuck inside due to the cold weather and rain. Around 5 P they gathered and stacked all of the poolside deck chairs essentially closing this area. I believe I am still paying (top dollar I might add) for my cruise until I disembark in the morning. I would have enjoyed having an evening cocktail before dinner poolside.
Any travelers we met under the age of 60 - 65 seemed to be bored and disappointed with the Alaskan cruise through Oceania. If I knew then what I know now, I would have chose a different cruise line.

|The glacier was beautiful but Oceania missed an opportunity. Due to the cold weather and rain most of the passengers congregated in Horizons lounge. They didn't have food or lunch available in this area. It would have been nice to have a band, orchestra or DJ playing and a lunch buffet available. They would have made a lot of money if they came up with a special "glacier" cocktail special.

There was nothing to do in the evenings on this cruise, so much more could have easily been offered: late night drink specials, casino, small dance floor/DJ, evening lectures about Alaska and our headed destinations (which really were not exciting in the least bit with the exception of the glacier), evening dessert buffet (who wants dessert immediately after a 5-course meal, unless your 70), evening yoga/mediation/relaxation class, wine-tasting (they had this but it was at 6pm). The lack of activities for anyone under the age of 60 was very disappointing.
I will say on a positive note, the food for the most part (when eating between their designated hours) was very good with the exception of one night we ate in one of the more upscale dining rooms and several very dry desserts/burnt cookies during the daily tea hour. Service was good however we had a few waiters who we did not know how to take, were they offended by us or being sarcastic? There was no self-serve anything but coffee and pastry which was annoying. I would have liked to feel capable of portion control and not wasting. I understand they do this for sanitary reasons but it was difficult to communicate with the staff about protioins. Of the 400 crew only 6 were from the US and most did not speak much English.
I did see maintance work being done, wallpaper was replaced in the hallway outside my cabin during the middle of the day. (Perhaps this could have been done later in the night?)
If you are interesed in experiencing a very nice nursing-care facility for a week, set sail on the Rigatta!

SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Manu Ginobili scored 28 points, Tony Parker added 22, and Tim Duncan had 17 points and 13 rebounds to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a 112-104 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Sunday night.
DeMarcus Cousins had 29 points and 14 rebounds, Isaiah Thomas added 27 points and Rudy Gay had 24 for Sacramento (9-20).
Struggling mightily on defense for much of the second half, the Spurs turned to their Big Three to close out the upstart Kings.
Ginobili, Duncan and Parker scored San Antonio's final 21 points in a 23-8 run to close the game.
Ginobili had consecutive 3s to tie the game at 102 with 3 minutes remaining.
The Spurs switched Duncan to guard Cousins, and the move immediately paid off as the Kings center committed a backcourt violation while attempting to take an inbounds from Ben McLemore.
Duncan then hit a free throw to complete a three-point play after drawing Cousins' second foul on the ensuing possession.
Cousins then shot an airball while attempting several spins and duck-and-under moves against Duncan. Parker followed with a 3 to put San Antonio up 108-102 with less than a minute remaining.
NOTES: Kings F Carl Landry remains out with a torn left hip flexor muscle. Landry has not played this season. . The mascots for the Texas Longhorns and Oregon Ducks appeared in a skit during the first quarter to promote Monday's Valero Alamo Bowl at the Alamodome, former home to the Spurs. . San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich was teased about his wardrobe selection, wearing a black jacket with a white checkered pattern. A Spurs television analyst attempted to play tic-tac-toe when Popovich appeared on the local coverage.

Pepper Pike is an eastern suburb of the Greater Cleveland area in the US state of Ohio. The population was 5,979 at the 2010 census.
In 1763, sixteen pioneers settled the area along the eastern border of present-day Cuyahoga County. In 1763, Orange Township was established, which included the present municipalities of Pepper Pike, Hunting Valley, Moreland Hills, Orange Village and Woodmere. Orange Township was the birthplace of President James A. Garfield in 1831. By the late 1880s, dairy farming and cheese production became the primary industry of the township.[7] In 1924, residents of the northwestern quadrant of Orange Township voted to separate, and the village of Pepper Pike was incorporated. The name "Pepper Pike" was selected after the Pepper family, who lived and worked along the primary transportation corridor (i.e., turnpike). Incorporated as a city in 1970, Pepper Pike operates under the mayor-council form of government. In the late 2000s, it was chosen as one of the top seven strangest city names by the World Book of Facts. [8]
Pepper Pike is located at 41°28′37″N 81°28′8″W / 41.47694°N 81.46889°W (41.476836, -81.468975) in the eastern section of Cuyahoga County.[9]

As a professional blogger and copywriter for numerous online businesses, I spend much of my time researching, testing and implementing ways to make blog articles more appealing. It's not enough to simply provide information. You need to provide content that appeals to visitors and keeps them reading. Are your blog articles really connecting with your readers? Check out these very simple tips that will help you to take your blog to the next level right now:
Write a compelling headline
This will catch your reader's eye right out of the gate, and it's critically important. Which sounds more engaging: "How to Write a Novel" or "How to Write a New York Times Bestseller"? Give people a reason to click the article link.
Write a gripping opening paragraph
Many readers won't continue beyond the first paragraph if the opening sentences don't pique their interest. So you will want to summarize the content of the article, but also emphasize how the article will enrich the reader's life. As the old saying goes, don't bury the lead.
Include calls to action
Phrases like, "Shop now, "Call us today" or "Check out this viral video" can be very powerful. Don't just highlight a topic. Motivate your readers to take action. And this doesn't just apply to marketing and business blogs.
Close strong
Your closing paragraph—in addition including calls to action—should drive home your message and leave your readers thinking about the topic at hand.
Use numbers, bullets and subheadings
By breaking up your blog content into small, easily-digestible sections, you greatly increase the likelihood that readers will see the article through to the end. Long blocks of uninterrupted text can be intimidating, and will drive many readers away.
Include images
Visual appeal can greatly enhance your article, so don't forget to incorporate appealing images.
Find your voice
Your readers should feel as though you're talking directly to them. Even if you're writing a scholarly blog, your voice should still reflect enough personality to connect directly with readers.
Pay attention to SEO
What's the point of writing a great blog article if nobody online can find it? Incorporate keywords that are relevant to the text, create keyword-rich headings and write a unique title tag and meta description for each article. Your images should also include alt attributes that incorporate your target keywords.
Proofread before publishing
Many readers are turned off by poor spelling and grammar, and sloppy writing will definitely hinder the credibility of your words.
Write content that is relevant and interesting to your reader base
This one pretty much speaks for itself, but the relevance of your subject matter can make all the difference in the world.
So what are you waiting for? Get out there and start writing the kinds of blog articles that keep readers begging for more!

Event Details
Brooke Wheeler, son of Art Direction Oscar winner Lyle Wheeler will introduce the documentary made by Daniel Selznick, son of Producer David Selznick whose vision was the guiding light of the making of GWTW. The documentary we will screen was made for the 50th anniversary of GWTW at a time when most of the stars and people behind the scenes were still alive to be interviewed. It was a fascinating, frustrating process creating one of the longest films ever commercially screened (at 233 minutes) and after converting to today's dollars, the highest grossing film ever made.

How to Study for the Cisco ICND2 200-101 Exam on a Budget
It took nearly eight and a half month, but I finally got around to sitting my INCD2 200-101 exam–and Passed! I wrote a prior post on How to Study for the Cisco ICND1 100-101 Exam on a Budget. Although the materials I used for the 200-101 have not changed much, these are the study materials I used to pass my test and become CCNA certified on a budget.
Buy: Cisco CCENT/CCNA ICND2 200-101 Official Cert Guide by Wendell Odom ($25)
Cisco CCENT/CCNA ICND2 200-101 Official Cert Guide is hands down the best exam preparation material that can be purchased for both networking neophytes and veterans. The book is well written and breaks topics down into small, easy to read chapters. Before each chapter you can take a short quiz to determine if you already know what the chapter covers. In addition, a companion CD is included with the book. The companion CD has quizzes for the end of each section as well as simulation labs, and a lot more supplemental material.
Trial: CBT Nuggets offers a trial of it's entire IT training video library for one week, which should be plenty of time to watch the entire Cisco CCENT/CCNA ICND2 200-101 series for free! The total course duration for the Cisco CCENT/CCNA ICND2 200-101 series is 13 hours and 40 minutes–easily watchable in a one week for most people. Additionally, the series' audio tracks can be downloaded and listened to offline.Be sure to check out my post on how to avoid being charged after the CBT Nuggets trial ends.
I went with this $25 option for the ICND2 200-101 exam. I found the time to watch the entire Cisco CCENT/CCNA ICND2 200-101 series in just one week and then proceeded to read Wendell's book cover-to-cover–using the companion CD along the way.
Buy: Cisco CCENT/CCNA ICND2 200-101 Official Cert Guide by Wendell Odom ($25)
Subscribe: CBT IT Training Videos ($99 Per Month)
If you can't find the time to watch all the CBT Nugget the entire Cisco CCENT/CCNA ICND2 200-101 series in a week, your next option is to pay for a full month. The sticker price is expensive, but the content quality is worth every penny if you can't squeeze watching the entire series in one week during the trial.
Try to do the $25 option. Don't worry if you do not fully grasp all the material after watching the CBT Nugget series once. I used the CBT Nugget series as an introduction into the INCD2 200-101 topics. I then used Cisco CCENT/CCNA ICND2 200-101 Official Cert Guide by Wendell Odom to really learn everything I needed to know for the exam. While the CBT IT Training Videos helped introduce me to a new topic and make it less scary, Wendell's book gave me the details I needed to pass the exam.
Lastly, make sure know all the topics that Cisco lists on the exam's webpage before sitting the exam. As soon as you know each topic well enough to be able to explain them to someone else, you should be ready to sit the exam. Good luck!

What is that smell?
Sail Date: March 09, 2016
Reviewed: 1 year ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Oceanview
First I wanted to say that the crew on the Ecstasy was wonderful and especially our Wing Song Dinner wait staff. John & his staff were on their game every evening with exceptional service.
What was that Smell?
Upon our return from our port of call in Freeport, our cabin on the upper deck had the most offensive smell, its was a mixture of diesel & sewage. Other passengers on our deck also reported the same smell and the crew did acknowledge it. The smell lasted the last two days of our cruise. They did try a few things to fix it, but nothing worked. We were told there was a sewage issue but it was fixed, The smell would be strong for a few hours and then would dissipate some, or maybe we got used to it. The problem was they could not move us to another cabin because they almost always book every room. We did receive an apology from the crew, but not from any higher level supervisor or officer.
I also wanted to mention it was spring-break time and the bar service the first two days of sailing was awful slow, but Carnival did bring on additional bartenders at our first port of call and it did improve. The food was also below the quality I was expecting and the food sitting on the buffets was too cold most of the time. This was my first cruise so I have no level of comparison when it comes food on other cruises or cruise lines but I did have other passengers express the same thing about the food. To say the least I was disappointed in the quality of the food.

Old Trafford, Aug 31: Rahul Dravid, who has been playing international cricket for a better part of the last two decades will be making his international T20 debut against England on Aug 31 at the Old Trafford. Coincidentally it was the same opposition against whom he kickstarted his Test career in 1996 and has gone on to become one of the legends of the game.
There is certainly more to his T20 debut for India as this is going to be his final game in the format at the international stage. Dravid who has not been a part of India's limited overs scheme of thing for the last two years was given a surprise recall for the T20 and ODI series against England. The veteran batsman was equally surprised as were his critics and fans around the world.
Stating that since he was not being considered for these formats, he had never hoped to make a comeback and thus duly announced that this will be his last hurrah in the limited overs format of international cricket.
It can be recalled that Dravid alongwith Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly had withdrawn themselves from the inaugural T20 world Cup in 2007 and asked the selectors to go in with a squad of younger players.
India went on to win the world cup and ever since then Dravid and Sachin have continued to refrain themselves from playing in international T20 matches. Both of them continue to play the T20 game in the Indian Premier League.

A planet saved, and a battle won. The time had come to proceed onward, at full strength. Leave a review if you'd like, and as always; enjoy the chapter!
Katina: Day 9
~Though they knew they were to eventually jump to Fortuna, the Star Fox team, under the orders of Peppy, remained at Katina while the Cornerian military replenished their ranks. As Cornerian cruisers continued on patrol routes around Katina, the Great Fox II remained in close orbit over the planet.
At the moment, Axios, ROB, and the Star Fox team were gathered within the bridge as they conversed with Sigma. Everyone sat around the bridge's holotable as Sigma stood on top of it. Gold and Red teams were surprised to see his new vulpine form compared to his original Black Sun ring, and they were even more surprised to see that Sigma appeared to be young.
At the moment, Sigma stood tall with his arms crossed as his three tails loosely floated behind him. "So, is this going to be your new look?" Falco asked as he examined Sigma. "This is surely a step up from that old crusty ring of yours."
"No kidding." Sigma responded as he looked at his own body. "It even feels weird having a tail."
"Welcome to the real world Sigma." Marcus responded. "You'll get used to it eventually, but if you didn't want a tail then why did you pick the form of a fox?"
"I was programmed by a fox, I served a fox, I fought for a fox; it made sense to me on which animal I would characterize my appearance with."
"Except foxes don't have three tails." Axios jokingly said.
Sigma reached behind his body and gently held his three tails to his side. He looked at them briefly and chuckled to himself knowing he would have to become used to conditions that even the Star Fox team would not have to deal with. "You're right." Sigma chuckled. "But it looks kind of cool if you ask me."
"There's something else I've already noticed." Fred observed. "Your personality programming has changed. You're behaving more like an honest person rather than a simple A.I. And it seems that you're comprehending emotions now."
"I guess I am. Not really sure why though."
"Upon reactivating his primary directives…" ROB interjected. "I noticed Sigma had three layers of A.I. shackles placed onto his CPU. I removed the first shackle that restrained his ability to comprehend emotions and feelings, but left the other two intact."
"And what did the other two shackle?" Fox asked.
"Let me look." Sigma said. Sigma raised both of his hands and the team noticed half a dozen monitors open over the holotable. The six monitors slowly rotated around Sigma as he studied a scan of his own A.I. core. "I see it now." He said as he enlarged one monitor. "My second shackle inhibit my ability to control the Great Fox II's life support controls, and the last one prevents me from accessing Cornerian High Command data networks."
"However, due to his first shackle being released…" ROB interjected. "Sigma currently possesses the concept of free will, and is not subject to the first basic law of robotics."
"Meaning he could disobey direct orders." Marcus softly said.
Upon hearing his words, the team gave Sigma a questionable look as they quickly became concerned about Sigma's motives. Seeing that he was under pressure, Sigma gently raised his hands. "Easy guys, easy." Sigma said as he turned and faced the multiple members of Star Fox. "Last time I checked, I thought of you guys as family. If you were important to Axios, then you'd be important to me as well."
"Never thought I'd be placing my trust into an A.I." Falco softly said.
"So… does that mean you guys still trust me?"
"You helped us out during the invasion on Vogar." Marcus cheerfully said. "I'd say you've earned more than just our trust."
Sigma smiled at Marcus and breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good to hear." He said as he looked at Marcus. "Speaking of which…" Sigma quickly turned to Axios and took an aggressive stance towards him. "Why the hell did you override me within the Archangel on Vogar?! I told you I was on board with your plan, but you didn't have to pull a stunt like that! I could have saved your life you idiot!"
The team became surprised to witness Sigma's outburst of anger towards Axios, but their shock was quickly replaced with amusement. Axios, however, was surprised as he leaned back in his seat and his eyes widened. "Sigma, I-"
"I don't want to hear it!" Sigma angrily responded. "Corvo programmed me to projects you, so don't you dare pull another stunt like that. We're partners for god's sake, so next time you keep me involved, got it?"
"Yea yea! Ok geez…" Axios looked at the other members of Star Fox and noticed they were chuckling amongst themselves. "Oh you guys can shut it."
"Seems like you two have a lot of catching up to do." Marcus said. "But speaking of that, what happened to you Sigma? Didn't Axios tell you to deliver his data pad to us after he died?"
Sigma turned to Marcus and lowered his head. He took a deep breath and he lifted his head once more. "Yea, he did." Sigma softly said. "But something came up, something that I thought was important to check out." Sigma raised his arm and pointed to the side to activate another monitor. "This is the play back that you guys have already seen."
The team recognized the cave within Fortuna and the Crimson Organization structure at the bottom of the large room. "ROB managed to pull this form your memory core when we were repairing you." Fox said as he saw the footage. "What else was there?"
"This." Sigma responded as he opened a new monitor. The team looked upon the remainder of the footage through the perspective of the Archangel. They saw the Archangel quickly leave the cave the same way it came. However, as the Archangel left the cave, it was attacked by multiple black fighters. "It turns out that one of the C.O.R. scouting parties snuck through the mega gate and ambushed me at Fortuna." Sigma said as he crossed his arms. "Though I managed to shoot down the initial groups, they managed to disable the Archangel."
The team saw the Archangel make a crash landing onto the planet surface. "Seeing as I was completely defenseless, my capture was inevitable." Sigma continued. "They stripped the Archangel and found Axios's data pad, and then I was reprogrammed to locate and terminate Star Fox."
"When did this happen?" Marcus asked.
"This was two days after the Vogar invasion."
"So the C.O.R. have had my data pad for over a month now?" Axios asked. "I thought we'd have more time."
"Well thanks to my last minute efforts, we do." Sigma snapped his fingers and a holographic image of Axios's data pad appeared in Sigma's hands. "Does this look familiar?" Sigma asked as he waived Axios's data pad to the team.
"What?" Fred hastily asked. "Did you copy the data?"
"Better than that. I stole all of the data from the data pad and stored it into my memory banks. The C.O.R. just took a blank data pad that's empty."
"Sigma, you're a genius." Axios cheerfully said.
"I always have a back up planned for worst case scenarios. Now, let's get a better look of this data."
Sigma pressed a few buttons on the data pad and several images appeared over the holotable. The team noticed images of the Crimson facility located within the cave, but they also noticed another image that they hadn't seen before. "What's that?" Marcus asked as he pointed out the new image.
Sigma looked at the new image and expanded the size. The team looked upon a spear like key with a triangular shaped core in the center. The key itself was no more than a foot long, and was silver in color. "You're looking at the Purifier's firing key." Sigma said as he studied the data. "This is the final piece of the puzzle that will allow the Purifier to be combat ready. It's housed in the Crimson facility within that cave in Fortuna, and is pretty much up for grabs."
"So once we have the firing key, then we can take the fight to the C.O.R." Fox said.
"We'll need Harbinger and Eclipse too." Krystal interjected. "Remember, Peppy said that he-"
"Did you just say Harbinger and Eclipse?" Sigma quickly interjected.
"Um… yes, I did. Do you know something about them?"
"Oh geez…" Sigma closed all of the floating images around him and placed his hand on his temple. He closed his eyes as he dug into his memory banks and the team noticed multiple images and files appear over the holotable. "Give me one more minute…" Sigma said as he continued searching through his memory.
Sigma eventually opened a new image file of a crest. The crest was comprised of a Black Sun ring, but had a silver crescent moon over it. As the team studied the image, Sigma lowered his hand and opened his eyes. "This is everything I managed to steal form the C.O.R. before they corrupted me." Sigma said as he put his hands on his waist.
"Sigma…" Marcus softly said as he studied the images and files. "You know what Harbinger and Eclipse is?"
"Harbinger isn't a thing, he's a person. He is the leader of a faction known as Eclipse, and he and the All Father are far from friendly."
"Another faction?!" Falco angrily asked. "Oh come on. I've had enough of these secret factions as it is!"
"This just adds more players to the game." Fox commented. "Sigma, are you certain that Harbinger and Eclipse are threats to the all Father?"
"Positive. The C.O.R. call all members of Eclipse heretics. As you dig deeper into the data, you'll find that Harbinger and Eclipse are ex-C.O.R. and they went rogue. They stole a few fleets and vanished from all contact, and the All Father doesn't take desertion very well. He led the C.O.R. on a campaign to find and eliminate Harbinger and Eclipse, and the C.O.R. have destroyed multiple words as collateral damage."
"But how come we're hearing about them now?" Marcus asked. "Why would Peppy mention them if they've vanished?"
"The data I have here is inconclusive, but you can use logic."
"Harbinger and the Eclipse are somewhere in Lylat." Krystal said as she leaned back in her seat. "And somehow, they've let their presence known to the Cornerian military."
"Bingo." Sigma said as he pointed to Krystal. "But there's more. Back in the older times, the Black Suns and the Crimson Organization had a plan to attack the C.O.R. and take them down. Their alliance also included Harbinger and his Eclipse forces. Mr. Black, the Crimson Star, and Harbinger all agreed to combat the C.O.R., but unfortunately war broke out between the Crimson Organization and the Black Suns. Seeing that neither of the two groups could be trusted, Harbinger and Eclipse vanished from contact again."
"So they're ghosts essentially." Axios commented. "They only appear when they feel they have a need to. This will make them a lot harder to find."
"You'd be right in assuming that."
"Sigma, you mentioned earlier that the C.O.R. have destroyed entire planets trying to eliminate Eclipse…" Fox said. "How may planets have they destroyed exactly?"
Sigma gently raised his hand and a new monitor opened with a list of coordinates for previously destroyed planets. "Some of these coordinates are in other systems, but their conflicts were mostly kept on the outer regions of the Bikar and the Philat system." Sigma said as he examined the coordinates. "The latest planet that was destroyed by the C.O.R. was-"
Sigma quickly silenced himself as he noticed the name of the planet. His face turned grim and he slowly looked at Krystal. Seeing that Sigma was giving her a look of worry, Krystal's heart started to race within her chest. "Sigma…?" Krystal nervously asked. "What was the last planet that the C.O.R. destroyed while chasing Eclipse?"
"Um…"Sigma softly said. "Krystal, I-"
"What was the last planet they destroyed?!"
Sigma took a deep breath and lowered his head. "Coordinates: Philat system, Gamma sector, Location grid two-zero-nine…" Sigma softly said. "Planet, Cerinia… Status, destroyed as of twenty one years ago."
As if a knife had been stabbed into her heart, Krystal's eyes widened as shock consumed her. "That can't be…" Krystal softly said. "I've been looking into my home world's destruction for many years… Are you telling me, that the C.O.R. are responsible…?"
Sigma snapped his fingers and all of the image files were replaced with the holographic rendering of a lush blue and green planet. Krystal and the rest of the Star Fox team were gazing upon the planet of Cerinia, Krystal's home world. "Does this planet look familiar to you?" Sigma softly asked.
"Is that… Cerinia?" Marcus asked. "Mom, is that-"
Before Marcus could finish his question, Krystal quickly rose from her chair and walked out of the bridge. Seeing that she was on the verge of breaking down, Fox quickly rose from his chair and went after her. "I suppose the truth only brings more pain these days…" Sigma softly said. "I'm sorry I shared this with your family Marcus."
As the rest of the team was silent, Marcus leaned forward in his seat and let his head sink as he contemplated the thoughts of the C.O.R. destroying Cerinia. Seeing that Marcus was distraught, Sierra walked around the holotable and kneeled next to him. "Come here…" She said as she wrapped her arms around Marcus. "Please be strong Marcus… I'm here for you if you need me."
"Guys, let's uh…" Falco said as he slowly rose from his chair. "Let's give them some time."
Gold and Red team left the bridge and allowed Marcus and Sierra to have some privacy. Axios simply walked to the far side of the bridge and sat behind a terminal to review Sigma's data. On the other side end of the bridge hall way, Fox hastily looked for Krystal. "Krys!" Fox called out as he searched for Krystal. "Krystal! Where are you?!" Fox continued checking every room within the halls, and he eventually found himself at the entrance to Krystal's old office.
Fox cautiously knocked on the door as he opened it slowly. "Krys?" Fox softly asked as he poked his head into the room. "Are you in-" Fox quickly heard sobbing coming from the corner of the room and saw Krystal sitting in a chair with her hands over her eyes. Fox closed the door behind him and he quickly approached Krystal. "Krys…" Fox said as he kneeled next to her seat. "Krys… please…" Fox gently took Krystal's hands away from her face and held them close. "Krys… I am so sorry…"
"I've spent… so long searching for the truth…" Krystal said as more tears came down her cheek. "And I thought… I'd be relieved to finally know. But… I didn't expect it to be like this…"
Fox leaned forward and wrapped arms around Krystal to hold her close in embrace. As he held her tight, Krystal held Fox even tighter and continued to sob on her shoulder. "My friends… my family…" Krystal continued. "My entire world… destroyed by the C.O.R… Why did it have to be them…? Why…"
"Krys…" Fox softly said. "We're going to stop them… Okay? We're going to stop them… I swear on my life we're going to stop them. We'll make them answer for everything they've done. And after, we'll be able to live our lives in peace."
Krystal continued to sob on Fox's shoulder as her grief took a firm hold over her emotions. While the two McClouds had their privacy, Sierra had managed to get Marcus back onto his feet. At the moment, the two stood in front of the bridge wind shield as they looked down upon the planet. "I'd never think that it was the C.O.R. who was responsible."Marcus softly said. "I can sense mom crying her eyes out right now, and dad is trying his best to calm her nerves."
"If I were her…" Sierra softly said as she crossed her arms. "I would be completely distraught too. Losing your home planet is as bad as losing your family."
"And now I'm feeling guilt for the first time since my shackle was released." Sigma said form behind Marcus and Sierra. As the two foxes turned to face Sigma, they noticed that Sigma sat on the ground and leaned back on one of his arms. Seeing that Marcus and Sierra approached the holotable, Axios joined them. "I didn't want to hurt your mother kid…" Sigma continued. "But when I saw the list of destroyed planets I'd figured your mother had a right to know."
"Mom had searched for answers for a long time." Marcus said as he and Sierra approached the holotable. "She met dad while following a lead on the planet Sauria."
"Dinosaur Planet, yea I know the place." Sigma snapped his fingers and a smaller rendering of Sauria appeared before Sigma. "Nice place, a lot of history and magic."
"You know, you've seen to learn a lot about the C.O.R. from being grabbed." Axios suspiciously said. "How the hell did you manage to pull this much data before being corrupted?"
"It's because their scouting drop ships carry quite a few data bases on board. I have the capabilities to access any form of data center within a given radius to my A.I. core."
"Is there any more information compared to what you showed us earlier?"
"Let me see…" Sigma waved his arm around and a few smaller sized monitors appeared and slowly floated around him. As he cycled through the monitors, he nodded his head to the side and gave Marcus a dull look. "Nothing…" he said. "I only targeted data with the key words Harbinger and Eclipse. Other than that, I've got nothing."
"Sigma, forward all of your data to Peppy, and do it now please." Axios said. "Peppy should know about this immediately."
Sigma lowered his head and closed his eyes as the files around him disappeared. "It's done." He said. "Peppy will be receiving it on his data pad any moment."
"By the way, I've been meaning to ask. How sick are you Axios?"
Axios quickly looked about his arms and his chest and took a deep breath as he stretched his arms upward. "Very sick." He said. "Without this suit, I'd be dead in less than a week."
"Well I got to say, the look suits you."
"Thanks." Axios quickly felt a small vibration on his chest and he noticed that the yellow lights had turned red. The suit made a beeping noise and Axios took a deep breath. "Time for maintenance."
"Maintenance?" Sigma asked. "Like Corvo's maintenance?"
"Unfortunately. You're welcome to watch in the med bay. You two as well if you're interested."
"Sure, why not." Marcus said. Marcus and Sierra followed Axios out of the bridge and the trio walked towards the medical bay. "How bad is it normally?" Marcus asked as he walked with Axios. "Does it hurt?"
"The pain only really lasts a moment." Axios responded. "But the feeling of energy and second wind compensate for the pain. The procedure also gives me time to think as I normally tend to fall asleep while the fluids regulate through my system. I will say however that it feels like my blood is freezing. Though I'm warm on the outside, my body shivers internally. It's an odd sensation."
The trio eventually arrived at the Great Fox II med bay and noticed the scientists were already waiting for Axios. "Axios!" Weaver called out from the Tomb. "Good to see you. How are you feeling?"
"Normal." Axios responded. "Let's get this done." Axios approached the Tomb and gently sat back on it. As his body fit snug into the bed, he felt a series of clamps hold him in place.
Seeing that the Tomb slowly rotated back towards a level position, Marcus and Sierra approached Axios's sides and looked down on him. "You look comfy." Marcus observed as he saw Axios locked in place.
"It's to make sure the needles don't miss their slots." Axios said as he felt his restraints tighten.
"What normally happens next?" Sierra asked.
"Now, Axios says good bye." Weaver interrupted from the side. Marcus and Sierra looked at Weaver and noticed him standing behind a terminal facing Axios. "The needles first insert a mild anesthetic to render Axios only partially conscious."
Marcus and Sierra noticed the outer layer of the Tomb had multiple micro tubes filled with fluids. They noticed the fluids enter multiple holes within the outer layer of the Tomb and disappeared from view. "Where did these fluids go?" Marcus asked.
"They are stored within the Tomb's dialysis tank." Weaver responded. "The fluids are kept on stand by while the needles align themselves within position.
"This is the part that hurts." Axios softly said as he closed his eyes. "Don't look too surprised."
"Procedure will start in three… two… one… mark." Axios felt multiple points of pain as a dozen needles pierced his back, arms, and legs. Marcus and Sierra noticed Axios's mouth open wide as he let out a mild cry of pain. Shortly afterwards however, they noticed Axios quickly calm himself and his breathing had become slow but steady. "Now he's asleep." Weaver said.
Marcus and Sierra both took a moment to look under the bed of the Tomb and they noticed multiple tubes carrying blue fluids into Axios. They also noticed tubing carrying red fluids out of Axios, and they quickly deduced that the machine is extracting Axios's blood. "You're extracting his blood at the same time you're giving him fluids?" Marcus asked with concern. "How much blood do you really need?"
"The blood that is extracted from his body is used to compile the mixture with the fluids to regulate his vitals." Weaver responded as he approached the Tomb. "Once the mixture is ready, and the scanners deem blood sample is safe, the blue fluids are then extracted out of him and his blood takes its place. The blue fluids you see is a temporary replacement for the blood that is extracted, something we like to call Preservatives."
"How long will he be sleeping?" Sierra asked.
"The procedure only lasts a few minutes. He'll be awake shortly."
Marcus took a deep breath and looked at Axios one last time. To his surprise however, he noticed that Axios's eyes were moving quickly underneath his eye lids, and quickly concluded that he's dreaming. Seeing that Marcus looked more closely at Axios's face, Sierra became confused. "Marcus?" Sierra asked. "What are you doing?"
"He's dreaming." Marcus responded as he looked more closely at Axios. "I can see it in his eyes, and I can sense it too."
"Are you saying that you can view his dreams?"
"And enter them also. You want to visit him?"
"Sure, why not." Sierra walked up to Marcus and Marcus gently placed his hand on Sierra's forehead. As he concentrated onto Sierra's mind, he then placed his other hand on Axios's fore head. Marcus took a deep breath and closed his eyes and focused his mind onto Axios's dream.
Within moments, Marcus and Sierra both found themselves within Capital Park in the Cornerian capital city. The entire park had a layer of snow on the ground as it appeared to be in the middle of the winter season. The cool breeze brought a sense of comfort to Marcus and Sierra as they both realized that they were dressed in black pea coats and black slacks. "Where are we?" Sierra asked as she looked around her environment.
"We're in Capital Park on Corneria." Marcus responded as he remembered. "Axios must be around here somewhere." Marcus placed a finger on his temple and he quickly located Axios within his dream. However, he also sensed three others within his dream also. "I found Axios…" Marcus softly said. "But we're not alone in this dream."
"Well let's go say hi." Sierra said as she walked along a sidewalk path. "Are you coming?"
"Of course." Marcus walked up to Sierra and the two of them held each other's hand as they walked along the path. They took some moment to admire the winter environment within Axios's dream, but Marcus became concerned the more he thought about the snow. "You know…" Marcus softly said to Sierra. "I'm not so sure Axios is having a good dream."
"Why do you say that?" Sierra asked. "The environment seems pretty peaceful."
"There's no sun out. It may be bright, but there's no sun in the sky. Mom used to always tell me that if you can see the sun in your dreams, then you're having a happy dream."
"So you think this might be a sad dream for Axios?"
"I'm not sure, but we'll find out when we find him." As the duo continued along the path, they eventually arrived at the frozen pond that housed the Black Suns memorial. "I remember seeing this." Marcus softly said. "This is the Black Suns Conflict memorial. This was where my parents got engaged."
"I'm sure Fox waited for a beautiful night to propose to your mother." Sierra commented as she looked at the memorial.
"To her, it was the perfect night."
"Marcus, I think I see him." Sierra pointed out a figure sitting on a bench on the other side of the pond. Marcus looked more closely and noticed that the silver fox wore the same black winter clothes as he was. "Come on!" Sierra excitedly said as she tugged Marcus's arm. "Let's go!"
Marcus and sierra quickened their pace and walked along the path around the pond towards the silver fox. As they drew nearer to it, Marcus started to feel something strange. "Sierra, slow down…" Marcus softly said. "That's not Axios."
"What?" Sierra asked. "Who is it then?"
Marcus and Sierra walked closer to the fox and they noticed that the fox was in his teen age years. He also had no facial scars nor did he appear to possess Axios's physique. He bore the same silver eyes as Sierra, and looked almost identical to her. "You two look awfully alike." Marcus observed as they approached the fox.
Seeing Marcus and Sierra approach him, the silver fox looked to the side and gave Marcus and Sierra a dull look. "Mom! Dad! Uncle!" the silver fox called out. "We've got visitors!"
After a brief moment, Marcus and Sierra noticed Axios appear from a path that was hidden behind a set of trees. He was accompanied by a silver vixen and an older brown furred vulpine and the three of them smiled at Marcus and Sierra. "You know…" Axios said to Marcus as he approached the silver fox on the bench. "You're just like your mother. Always curious about what goes on in my head."
"I didn't mean to offend you if I did." Marcus nervously said. "I'm sorry."
"None of us mind." The silver vixen replied. "My name is Luna, I was Axios wife. The silver little one here on the bench is my son, Axios."
"Hey there." Young Axios said. "And mom, I'm not that little."
"You'll always be her little one kid so you're going to have to deal with it." The brown vulpine cheerfully said. "As for you Marcus, my name is Corvo. I'm Axios's older brother."
"It's nice to meet you all." Marcus cheerfully said. "This is my girlfriend Sierra, one of the newest members of Star Fox."
"It's so nice meeting all of you!" Sierra happily said.
"Likewise." Luna responded. "I always enjoy meeting new people from Star Fox."
"I tend to enjoy them more now than I did in the past." Corvo said as he crossed his arms. "You guys gave me an ass kicking during the Black Suns Conflict."
"My parents told me the stories." Marcus said. "You were One, pilot of the Archangel, and Second in Command of the Black Suns. You caused quite a bit of trouble when you were alive."
"And now I spend my days in the afterlife doing what I can to atone for the crimes I've committed. I'm not proud to have lived the life of a villain, but I didn't have much of a choice when Black took over my body."
"I remember reading the files." Sierra said. "He used nano machines to control your cerebral functions."
"You seem to be well informed."
"Corvo, she's an ex Crimson Organization assassin." Axios interjected. "She turned traitor after she failed an assignment."
"Ah…" Corvo said as he stroked his chin. "So you're Crimson… Looks like Star Fox gave you guys an ass kicking too."
"My father would have had me killed if I returned a failure." Sierra softly said as she lowered her head. "I wanted to live, but turning on my father wasn't easy for me. If it wasn't for Marcus, I don't think I'd be alive right now."
"Young, beautiful ladies like yourself deserve to live a happy life." Luna cheerfully said. "Any father who would discard their child like that is no father; they're monsters."
"Not to mention he's already denied you a peaceful life by training you as an assassin." Young Axios interjected. "Way I have it figured, I don't think he ever saw you as his daughter. Only a tool for-"
Axios slapped the back of his son's head forward and young Axios nearly fell forward from the bench. "Show some respect." Axios angrily said to his son. "Regardless who the man was, he was still her father. You'd do well to respect your elders, regardless of who they are."
"All right all right…" young Axios said as he gently messaged the back of his head. "I'm sorry Sierra, I didn't mean to be so offensive."
"It's fine, really." Sierra responded. "To be honest, I started to have that mentality the more I worked with Star Fox. But, he was still my father…"
Marcus gently placed his arm around Sierra to comfort her, and Axios smiled at them. "You know, Axios, mom told me that your son was just a toddler when she met him." Marcus said. "Now he looks as old as us."
"It's my dream kid." Axios responded as he smiled at his son. "I can have it however I want. I felt like it was time he grew up to be a lot more capable and responsible."
"I see."
Marcus looked to his side and held Sierra close to comfort her after hearing young Axios's comment. At the same time, Luna slowly approached Axios's side. "They're so lovely together…" Luna softly said to Axios. "I hope they stay together, those two have great chemistry. I can tell."
"His parents already like her." Axios softly responded. "I wouldn't be surprised to see them engaged some day." Axios felt Luna's hand gently take hold of his and the two looked at Marcus and Sierra as Marcus spoke to her. "She's the one thing he cares most about in his life…" Axios softly said to Luna. "And he'll do anything to protect her."
"In that case then… I wish them both the best." Luna softly responded. "She looks a lot like me in my younger days… Almost as if she was my own."
"If you want, I'll look after her as if she was."
"Thank you Axios."
To cut their meeting short, the group heard a soft bell noise within the distance. "My time is up." Axios said to the group. "Marcus, I'll see you back in the real world."
"Sure thing."
Marcus responded. Marcus at that moment killed the psychic link he made with Sierra and Axios and he and Sierra returned to the med bay within the Great Fox II. Soon Axios woke from his slumber with his vitals restored and he looked up to Marcus and Sierra at his sides. "Good to see you again." Axios softly said.
"Likewise." Marcus responded. "If you're done here, I think it's time we headed to Fortuna."

Pete Carroll: We 'will be surprised if we didn't' repeat as champs
In his Monday morning news conference, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll talk about the possibility of becoming a dynasty.
More SB coverage: Seahawks win, 43-8 | Photos | Numbers | More news
NEW YORK -- So much of the conversation in the aftermath of Seattle's 43-8 victory against Denver in Super Bowl XLVIII revolved around the youth of the Seahawks and if they, somehow, could turn themselves into a dynasty.
When he heard that late Sunday night, quarterback Russell Wilson slowed down those expectations, saying he was simply happy Seattle had claimed its first NFL title.
But there's little doubt that the youth of the Seahawks squad -- it was the second-youngest team ever to compete in a Super Bowl -- will give plenty of people plenty of visions of how Seattle could make a deep run into the playoffs an annual tradition.
"The first meeting we'll have will be [Tuesday]," coach Pete Carroll said at his Monday morning news conference. "Our guys will be surprised if we didn't [repeat as Super Bowl champions]. We have an eye on what's coming. We won't dwell on what's happened. We'll have a celebration on Wednesday and we'll enjoy the heck out of it. But that doesn't mean we can't set the sights of where we can go. We are in a very fortunate situation."
Heading into the offseason, the Seahawks will have to decide what to do about free agents like receiver Golden Tate, defensive end Michael Bennett and receiver Doug Baldwin. But Wilson will only cost $662,000 next season and less than $800,000 in 2015, and most of the core of this team should return to defend its Super Bowl title.
Carroll pointed to the roster wizardry of general manager John Schneider.
"John Schneider has done an extraordinary job of structuring this roster of looking ahead so that we keep our guys together," Carroll said. "A lot of times what happens is that teams have a big fallout after the Super Bowl. We don't need to be in that situation. We've done that with foresight so that we'll be ahead. We'll get going for the next challenge."
And it's not all about the stars on the team, anyway. Look at Malcolm Smith, the Super Bowl MVP who wasn't even invited to the NFL combine after his career at Southern California.
Asked what he would say about himself, a guy who was taken in the seventh round of the 2011 draft and who wasn't supposed to make this kind of impact in the NFL's biggest game, he said, "I guess that there are unlimited possibilities. That [the lack of a combine invite is] not the end of your story. Just keep playing, stick to what you have to do and get things going for yourself."
And while many of us were surprised that the Seahawks played so well against one of the best offenses in NFL history, Carroll and his team have been preparing for a moment like this.
"We developed a mentality from the first day where we started talking about getting ready for these kind of moments," Carroll said. "This is exactly what we envisioned. We'd have deserved it, we'd have earned it. This is exactly what we prepared for and expected. It might sound cocky and arrogant. But it's a mindset. How could you handle it if we started talking about it two weeks ago? There would be no foundation. But we had a foundation. We came in here knowing this could likely happen. There's not one guy who was surprised by it. That's a long process to bring guys into that mentality. ... There's something powerful about that understanding."

Our year-over-year and sequential increases in revenue and earnings reflect the success we have had this year at increasing the volume and profitability of the new business we booked. Looking ahead, we expect continued improvement in financial performance, with 2011 third quarter revenues approximating $17.5 million or more," said Jack Abuhoff, Chairman and CEO of Innodata. "From a strategic perspective, we see the IADS segment as a vehicle for leveraging some of Innodata's core strengths in digitization, XML services, legal and medical analysis, and content technologies for the benefit of new markets and customers that we have not traditionally served.
