The Big Picture: Beyond Hot Spots & Crises in Our Interconnected World
Recently, international news and attention has been focused on dramatic crisis and hot-button international phenomena, such as revolts in the Middle East or debt crisis in Europe. But, in an age where every country's actions affect other regions as well, how do these issues relate to our world as a whole? Professor Anne-Marie Slaughter will examine the answer to this question in her talk, "The Big Picture: Beyond Hot Spots & Crises in Our Interconnected World."
Anne-Marie Slaughter is the Bert G. Kerstetter '66 University Professor of Politics and International Affairs at Princeton University.

She has written or edited six books, including A New World Order (2004) and The Idea That Is America: Keeping Faith with Our Values in a Dangerous World (2007), and over 100 articles. She was also the convener and academic co-chair, with Professor John Ikenberry, of the Princeton Project on National Security, a multi-year research project aimed at developing a new, bipartisan national security strategy for the United States. From 1994 to 2002, Dr. Slaughter was the J. Sinclair Armstrong Professor of International, Foreign, and Comparative Law and Director of the International Legal Studies Program at Harvard Law School.

CMC Forum Idea Night at the Ath: A New Era for CMS Athletics
CMC Forum Idea Night at the Ath: Why Eating Bugs Can Save the World- The Case for Entomophagy
"Idea Night" has returned with the biggest grand prize yet: a ticket to the first weekend of Coachella. At last year's Idea Night, attendees heard about the flaws with financial modeling, the need for a "J (January) Term," the importance of fine tailoring, and the radical rethinking of defense policy. Jesse Blumenthal '11 took home the title of Best Idea with a strong case for why America needs to finally fight a war that is actually profitable: invading our most logical target, Canada. The Forum is currently reviewing submissions and will select four applicants to present and compete for the grand prize.
If you don't know what Idea Night is, it could be described as an event somewhere between a thesis-defense with a shot clock and a start-up pitch with a gourmet meal and wine for those of an "appropriate age".
Students are invited to submit papers, projects or original research for the enjoyment and education of the CMC community. Participants and their topics will be selected by the Forum's editorial board for uniqueness, interest, and quality. We are looking for interesting arguments on any topic — politics, culture, CMC, etc. Although the content will vary greatly, the format will remain constant: each participant will have 10 minutes, a projector and a podium. A short Q & A session will follow each talk.
Presentation skills will be valued equally alongside content. At the end of the event, the audience will be asked to rank the speakers on their interest and persuasiveness, and while everyone will get a token of our appreciation, the winner will be awarded a free ticket to the first weekend of Coachella. The second place finisher will receive a $50 dollar gift card to the village restaurant of his/her choice. The third and fourth place finishers will each receive a $25 gift card to the village restaurant of their choice.

The Singularity is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology
At five years old, Ray Kurzweil decided to become an inventor. Over the six decades since, he became one of the leading inventors of our time. The Wall Street Journal has called him "the restless genius;" Forbes described him as "the ultimate thinking machine;" Inc. magazine declared him "rightful heir to Thomas Edison."
Kurzweil was the principal developer of the first CCD flat-bed scanner, the first omni-font optical character recognition, the first print-to-speech reading machine for the blind, the first text-to-speech synthesizer, the first music synthesizer capable of recreating the grand piano and other orchestral instruments, and the first commercially marketed large-vocabulary speech recognition. Kurzweil has received nineteen honorary Doctorates and honors from three U.S. presidents. In 1999, he received the National Medal of Technology, the nation's highest honor in technology, from President Clinton in a White House ceremony. In 2002, he was inducted into the U.S. Patent Office's National Inventors Hall of Fame.
As Kurzweil studied technology trends and their implications, he's stuck to a crucial meta-idea: "that the power of ideas to transform the world is itself accelerating." In recent years, he has been among the foremost voices declaring: "the singularity is near."
Kurzweil is the author of four national bestsellers, including The Age of Spiritual Machines: When Computers Exceed Human Intelligence (2000) and The Singularity is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology (2005) – which was both a New York Times bestseller, and has been Amazon's top book in both science and philosophy.
Ray Kurzweil's evening presentation at the Athenaeum is jointly sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies and the Athenaeum.

Barnes & Noble Review called it "the genius Siberian Travelogue you should not miss."
Frazier is currently co-teaching a class on travel narratives with Professor Jamaica Kincaid in the Claremont McKenna Literature Department as a Podlich Distinguished Scholar.
Arab Spring and Arab Winter: The Fate of Democracy in the Middle East
The Arab Spring has brought the downfall of several autocrats who were American allies, and most Americans applauded. The Bush Administration's "Freedom Agenda" posited that the stability of many U.S. non-democratic allies in the Middle East was illusory and that we should be promoting democracy. But will free elections bring real democracy or Islamist regimes that narrow political and social space? Are we doomed to choose between friendly dictators and hostile elected governments? Elliott Abrams will examine these questions in his talk: "Arab Spring and Arab Winter: The Fate of Democracy in the Middle East." The choices that face the United States, and how American policies might affect outcomes in the region, will also be discussed.
Elliott Abrams is Senior Fellow for Middle Eastern Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington, D.C. He served as Deputy Assistant to the President and Deputy National Security Advisor in the Administration of President George W. Bush, where he supervised U.S. policy in the Middle East for the White House. After serving on the staffs of Sen. Henry M. Jackson and Daniel P. Moynihan, he was an Assistant Secretary of State in the Reagan Administration and received the Secretary of State's Distinguished Service Award from Secretary George P. Shultz.
Mr. Abrams was president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C., from 1996 until joining the White House staff. He was a member of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom from 1999 to 2001, and Chairman of the Commission in the latter year. Mr. Abrams is currently a member of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council, which directs the activities of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, and teaches U.S. foreign policy at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. He is a graduate of Harvard College, the London School of Economics, and Harvard Law School.
Elliott Abrams' Athenaeum lecture is part of the President's Distinguished Speaker Series and is jointly sponsored by the Salvatori Center at CMC.
Does the Past have a Future? On the Fate of Classical Cultures
With so much recent focus on the fate of current nations in the midst of cultural upheaval, little attention has been given to the history that can inform us on the issues. Sheldon Pollock, however, will remind us of the importance of these ideas in his talk, "Does the Past have a Future? On the Fate of Classical Cultures."
Sheldon Pollock is the William B. Ransford Professor of Sanskrit and Indian Studies at Columbia University. Sheldon Pollock is the founding editor of the Murty Classical Library of India (Harvard University Press, 2013) and joint editor of South Asia across the Disciplines (the university presses of California, Chicago, and Columbia, 2010). His most recent monograph, The Language of the Gods in the World of Men: Sanskrit, Culture, and Power in Premodern India, was recently issued in paper (U. of California Press, 2009)), and two edited volumes are: Forms of Knowledge in Early Modern Asia: Explorations in the Intellectual History of India and Tibet, 1500-1800 (Duke University Press, 2011), and, with Benjamin Elman and Kevin Chang, World Philology (Harvard University Press).
He is currently working on Liberation Philology and Reader on Rasa: A Historical Sourcebook in Indian Aesthetics, the first in a new series of sourcebooks in classical Indian thought that he is editing for Columbia U. Press. He was recently awarded a Distinguished Achievement Award from the Mellon Foundation, which awards for excellence in higher education in cultural affairs. He has also recieved the President's Certificate of Honour for Sanskrit and the title Padma Sri for distinguished service in the field of letters from the Government of India.
Professor Sheldon Pollock's lecture at the Athenaeum is made possible through the generosity of CMC alumnus, L.J. Kutten '74, founder of the annual Kutten Lecture in Religion and Philosophy.

The Entrepreneurial Imperative
LUNCHEON 11:30 a.m.; LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
The secret strength of the U.S. economy, Carl Schramm is showing governments, policy makers, and academics, is that entrepreneurs can perform the same economic miracles in other parts of the world, even in the most underdeveloped nations.
While the head of the Kauffman Foundation, world's leading foundation fostering entrepreneurship, Schramm offered a program of policy reforms and initiatives to make starting and growing businesses easier and less costly. He also advanced a new field of inquiry called expeditionary economics, which focuses on rebuilding the economies post-conflict nations, including Iraq and Afghanistan.
An entrepreneur himself, Schramm has founded several successful companies in the health care finance and information technology industries. Has advised govern¬ment leaders worldwide on promoting job growth and economic expansion, and he writes and speaks widely, encouraging people everywhere to unleash the power of entrepreneurship.
He is a Founding Board Member of Startup America Partnership, a private-sector alliance intended to dramatically increase the development, prevalence and success of innovative, high-growth U.S. firms.
Schramm's two books, The Entrepreneurial Imperative: How America's Economic Miracle Will Reshape the World (and Change Your Life) (2006) and Good Capitalism, Bad Capitalism and the Economics of Growth and Prosperity (2009), are important blueprints for economic growth. In them, he shows how less developed nations can accelerate growth through entrepreneurship, while urging the U.S. itself to reinvigorate its own commitment to small business as the force that made it the world's leading economy.
Carl Schramm's work has appeared in many publications, including Foreign Affairs, The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, Business Week, USA Today. He frequently appears on CNBC and Fox Business News.
Schramm's talk is sponsored by the Kravis Leadership Institute.
Fair Food for All: Growing a Healthy, Sustainable Food System for All
Oran Hesterman wants everyone to know: "Our food system is as broken as our health-care system." It doesn't serve our health, it doesn't support the broad economy, and it unfairly keeps quality, healthy food out of the reach of much of the population. "If you have enough money and access," he says, "you can make-believe that's not a problem, but we know that doesn't mean there's not an issue."
Hesterman is the President and CEO of Fair Food Network, and a leading national voice advocating for dramatic reform and reimagination of the American agriculture and food systems. Fair Food Network is a national non-profit dedicated to building a more just and sustainable food system. They aim to foster access to healthy, fresh, and sustainably grown food – particularly for underserved and low-income communities. Hesterman previously served as the inaugural president of Fair Food Foundation, an organization that performed similar work before losing its financial base in the Madoff scandal.
Oran Hesterman was the program director for food systems for 15 years at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and played a large role in establishing the Michigan Food Policy Council. He has also been a leader of the Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders, now a project of Community Partners.
Before entering the non-profit sector, Hesterman researched and taught forage and cropping systems management, sustainable agriculture, and leadership development in the crop and soil sciences department at Michigan State University. He served as a fellow in the Kellogg National Fellowship Program and at the National Center for Food and Agriculture Policy. Hesterman has published more than 400 reports and articles on food and agriculture and in 2011 authored Fair Food: Growing a Healthy, Sustainable Food System for All. The book was called "an important accessible book on a crucial subject" in The New York Times.
CMC's Center for Civic Engagement (CCE), which opened its doors in September 2011, is sponsoring Oran Hesterman's visit to campus as part of its inaugural speaker series.

Ray Lamontagne Biography & News
Ray Lamontagne Details

About Ray Lamontagne
Ray Lamontagne releases "Supernova"
A Supernova is said to be an explosion that briefly outshines the entire galaxy, radiating as much energy in that moment as the Sun emits over its entire life span. "Supernova" also happens to be the title of Ray LaMontagne's latest album, and much like its true definition, shined bright when it was issued at the end of April 2014.
"Supernova" was LaMontagne's fifth album and was produced by the Black Keys' Dan Auerbach and garnered extremely positive reception from music critics. One noted that "A casual listen might dismiss [the record] as mere nostalgia," however the "pairing [of] Auerbach's detailed, careful production with LaMontagne's open, expertly crafted songwriting and breezy, sensual, emotionally unburdened signing, that boundary is shattered."
The project follows four other LaMontagne albums, including "Trouble," "Til the Sun Turns Black," "Gossip in the Grain," and "God Willin' & the Creek Don't Rise." The latter peaked at number three on the American album charts, and earned LaMontagne his very first Grammy win, for Best Contemporary Folk Album.
Another place LaMontagne is raising eyebrows beyond the studio? The stage. In fact, he recently made headlines when he stopped his concert at Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park, apparently criticizing an engaged couple in the front row. LaMontagne reportedly stormed off the stage, saying he wouldn't return and start playing again until the couple left. The audience then booed until the couple walked out.
LaMontagne is on tour through the fall, wrapping in November with three consecutive nights at New York's Beacon Theatre.
A History of Ray LaMontagne tickets
When you get Ray LaMontagne tickets be prepared to be moved, inspired, and filled with soul. Ray LaMontagne's famously gravelly voice, combined with his heart-on-his-sleeve style and deeply soulful songs turn an audience into his devotees. Few singer songwriters come off with such honesty and bare vulnerability as Ray LaMontagne. Whether he's singing in front of a crowded arena or by himself on the front porch, you get the feeling he would deliver the same awe-inspiring performance. That's because, for Ray LaMontagne, it's all about the music.
Quitting the Day Job
The story goes, after waking up at 4 a.m. for an early shift at the shoe factory where he worked, to the sounds of Stephen Stills' song 'Treetop Flyer,' LaMontagne decided to quit his factory job and pursue a career as a musician. The son of an abusive musician father, LaMontagne made it a point of staying away from music as a child. But the soul was in him the whole time, as he struggled to finish school and moved to Lewiston, Maine, where he worked in the factory. Since leaving that job behind, Ray LaMontagne has recorded four albums. His debut, Trouble released in 2004, brought him instant success, especially the single 'Trouble,' which became a favorite cover on the TV show American Idol and was featured, along with 'Burn' and 'All the Wild Horses,' on the TV show Rescue Me. Two years later he released Till the Sun Turns Black, which was also a success, in the U.S. and Britain, where LaMontagne has a strong following. Two more successful albums have followed, and Ray LaMontagne shows no signs of easing up on the soul.

GREENVILLE - Friday's cow barns fire at the Darke County Fairgrounds has the community wondering just what got the fire started.
"We have been working daily with the State Fire Marshal's Office since the incident," stated Chief Mark Wolf of the Greenville Fire Department.
Chief Wolf told The Daily Advocate that the fire remains under investigation and there is no time line of when a cause will be announced publicly. He also stated that the recent and any future snowfall will not hinder their investigation in any way.
On Saturday investigators with the State Fire Marshal's Office arrived at the scene to do a full walk-through with the Greenville Fire and Police Departments. Seven different insurance agencies are also involved with the investigation due to the privately owned items that were being stored in the damaged buildings.
"As of now the investigations shows no evidence of a crime, but that can not be ruled out," stated Michael Duchesne the Public Information Officer with the State Fire Marshal's Office. "These types of fires can take weeks to resolve. We are not going to leave any stone unturned, we want to get it right."
If you have any information that may help in the fairgrounds fire investigation, you are urged to contact the Greeville Fire Department at 937-548-3040.

DALLAS Five days before Thanksgiving, 15-year-old Flower Mound resident Emma Weatherford returned to UT Southwestern to say thank you.
Doctors restored her eyesight, thanks to a donor family who made the difficult decision to donate their loved one's corneas.
Emma admits she was nervous during the visit, but her nerves calmed once she got behind the piano. Music is her outlet, and it's the biggest sign that her life is getting back to normal.
Last January without warning sight in Emma's right eye became very blurry, hindering her ability to read or play her favorite instrument.
If I wanted to read, I had to actually put my face on the page to make out the words, she said. It was kinda weird.
She was diagnosed with a genetic eye disorder called keratoconus, a thinning of the cornea. Doctors said her only hope was to get a corneal transplant
It was just really strange, she said. It didn't seem like something that would happen to someone my age.
By July, Emma was in surgery, and became one of the more than 1,200 people this year who received corneal transplants at UT Southwestern.
Emma will never meet her donor, but she hopes to meet his or her family. She recently sent them a letter expressing her gratitude.
I said that I was very sorry that they lost a relative , Emma said, describing the letter. I really appreciate them.
As Emma's left eye improves, her mom said doctors are closely watching her other eye; it's showing early signs of degeneration.
But her family is not worried; Emma believes she's in good hands.
I'm just really lucky that we have just good doctors in Dallas, and it can be fixed very easily, really, Emma said.
To learn more about becoming a donor, visit UT Southwestern's Transplant Services Facebook page.

I want my two hours back.
PelicansReport.com Sim League
New Orleans Hornets General Manager
At least give the guy a single minute, It is embarassing
Formally known as WhoDatMan504
The crowd just chanted "We Want Davis"!!!!!!
True Love
YEAH BRING THE BROW!!! I want to see Davis play at least one minute. Pretty please
The practice time with the team is just as important. Brazils got some beef down low so , I believe thats why he got no minutes even late.
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
I just hope AD gets the chance to earn some pt. As if the last game didnt help!
Coach K is just giving the guys he's going to use the most as much playing time together as possible before the games start counting. Remember they haven't had as much practice time together as other teams. I assume Davis will get most of his minutes at the end of blowouts or if Tyson Chandler gets into foul trouble.
Coach K"Yeah, Anthony's a young guy. In a game like this, he's ten years younger than any of those big guys he's playing against. He's going to be a terrific player. I think the experience of being with this team as we move along as he gets accustomed, we have three more exhibition games, and five games of pool play. By medal round, I don't know what type of experience playing time-wise he'll get, but he'll get a lot of experience just being with this team. Remember, he's just been with us a couple of days. He doesn't even know all the sets and that. But our emphasis is not on him. It's on the guys who are going to play the majority of minutes."
"Every fight is a food fight when you're a cannibal."- Demetri Martin
Just saw Aminu highlights vs Greece. He's looking really good and more confident right now. He had 2 nasty dunks and blocked an important 3 pts attempt in this game.
I don't have the recap but here's the full game : http://www.atthehive.com/2012/7/17/3...minu-vs-greece
Boxscore : http://www.london2012.fiba.com/pages...6229/game.html
"I go so hard, I go so mean... I'm so NEW ORLEANS" - Lil' Wayne"We not stopping at no stores man ! We staying on the gas !" - Tyreke Evans
Coach K isn't trusting the young guys in the paint. Love and Davis is going to be sitting on the bench pretty often for this reason. I expect them to roll with an Durant and James at the 5 before they put Love and Davis in for meaningful minutes.
It's not the quantity of the minutes, it's the quality of the minutes. When TeamUSA plays a tough opponent, I expect those guys to sit often. I don't think Love was brought into the game until it was already a blowout against DR. His 5 minutes against Brazil was pretty much at the end of the game.
You guys are overestimating davis a bit eh..olympics may be boring and all or meaningless but i think coaches and players are serious about it, and the guys that are gonna play together NEED time playing together, even against scrubby opposition (usa won by some 11 points, not 60 btw). Davis has dominated on college level, which is NOT enough to grant him more playing time right now when it is capital for the guys to mesh and be able to play together..which is no small feat if you look at the starting line-up. I'll be happy myself if he just is along for the ride and gets some meaningless minutes. He was a damn college player for goodness sake, yes he's talented, but the learning curve is still quite high

Page Yield is an approximation of the number of standard pages that can be printed with one cartridge, usually measured at 5% page coverage. 5% coverage is a standard 8.5 x 11 inch page with a light letterhead, address and three paragraphs of text double spaced. If you print mixed text and graphics or WebPages your page coverage is closer to 15% and therefore the number of pages printed with each cartridge will be less. If you are printing photos your page coverage is close to 100% and the number of printed photos will be much less than the amount the number of pages you would be able to print if you were just printing standard text documents.

Many consumers are worried if the use of compatible or aftermarket printing supplies will void their printer's warranty. The answer is no.
More simply put, this means that your printer warranty cannot be voided just because you choose to use compatible products unless the manufacturer can prove that the compatible product caused direct damage to your printer. In cases such as this, the manufacturer may choose not to repair your printer but your warranty would remain in effect for all other warranty issues.

"Make" like build behavior mode
Maven currently has a top down build approach where you start at the top of a reactor and build all children. One of the most common requests I get from my developers is an easy way to build certain artifacts from the bottom up. Often times a build, especially large ones, will contain many modules needed for a "full" build, but are actually made up of pockets of interdependencies. It's not always possible to logically group these all together with a common parent to enable easily building a subtree.
For example, you may have a project comprised of services, ui's and packages:
+---packages | +---a-package | +---b-package | \---c-package +---services | +---a-service | +---b-service | \---c-service \---ui +---a-ui +---b-ui \---c-ui
The packages inherit from the package parent, etc. Assume that "A-package" depends on "a-service" "b-service" and "a-ui"
In Maven, there is currently no easy way to make a change to "a-service" and build it and the package at once. This can be controlled to some extent with modules in profiles, but this quickly becomes unwieldy and doesn't support the granularity needed.
Out of Scope
It is out of scope for this proposal to determine if a project actually needs to be rebuilt based on the contents. (ie checking if anything has actually changed) This is simply intended to be an extension to the reactor behavior in choosing which projects should be included in the reactor.
Proposed Solution 1 (NOT IMPLEMENTED)
The ideal use case for this issue is:
1. Developer makes change to code in "a-service"
2. Developer goes to "a-package" and executes "mvn -A install" (-A for all)
3. Maven walks up the parent tree to see how far up the source goes. Then any dependencies in the graph that are found in the contained source on disk are ordered and built. Everything else is ignored in the build.
Alternate Use Case 2:
2. Instead of going to "a-package" and executing mvn, the developer goes to the top level parent and executes "mvn -Apackages/a-package" (in this case defining the module that should be considered for dependency graphing)
3. Maven builds the graph and builds what is needed.
This use case isn't ideal but is probably easier to implement since the top level parent doesn't need to be located and everything to be built is included in the subtree.
Porting maven-reactor-plugin
The maven-reactor-plugin can be used today to build stuff. We'd like to port at least reactor:resume, reactor:make, reactor:makeDependents into core. I'm thinking it would go something like this:
New options:
- -rf --resume-from: Resume reactor from specified project
- -pl --project-list: Build the specified reactor projects instead of all projects
- -am --also-make: If a project list is specified, also make projects that the list depends on
- -amd --also-make-dependents: If a project list is specified, also make projects that depend on projects on the list
- resume: mvn -rf packages/a-package
- make: mvn -am -pl ui/a-ui,ui/b-ui
- makeDependents: mvn -amd -pl packages/a-package,packages/b-package
At least at first, core would not include the new reactor:makeScmChanges because that would require maven-core to depend on maven-scm.

Great jean
By T Man
from Charlotte, NC
About Me Casual
Comments about 7 For All Mankind Austyn Relaxed Straight in Los Angeles Dark (Long Inseam):
This is one of the few jeans I can find with long inseam. I am 6'4" and most jeans are 34 inseam. Even though this is a straight leg, the opening is large enough to accommodate a boot. I do wish a lighter wash was offered in long inseam as the dark wash feels a bit to dark when the weather begins to get warmer in the spring.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

So Far So Good
By EL

About Me 6'4 190, 63 years old, Casual
I am a closer to a 34 1/2 to 35 waste and the 34 fits perfectly. The elastic in the waste band is very comfortable. My 34 Levi's are a bit tight around the waste, so these do run a bit larger than that brand.If you like a hard material feel in your jean, than this is not the jean for you. These have a softer stretchy feel all around.
Good product
By anon
from Houston, TX
About Me Career, Casual
Great for going out or casual days at the office. Love the length, color, and how the material feels. The only minor problem is the waist is a little big. Normally wear 32 waist, 36 length and ordered this size. Don't know if I would go down a size, but they are a little loose in the waist.
Great jeans and great customer service!
By ABCDE
from Louisiana
About Me Bargain Shopper, Casual, Classic
This product fits great. I would not call it a truly relaxed fit though. I'm 6'3" 215 lbs so the jeans are somewhat tight in the thighs but the material has some stretch to it and the jeans fit great.

Great jeans, but too much give
By RLRH
from East Rockaway, NY
These are great jeans, but the material is quite elastic, so there's a lot of give in the upper leg, groin and seat. If I were to buy them again, I would have gone done one size. Still, a terrific product!

Seahawks open camp amidst high expectations
Associated Press
Defensive end Cliff Avril is expected to help improve the Seahawks' pass rush.

But the next six weeks leading up to Seattle's season opener will be anything but boring.
When the Seahawks begin their fourth training camp under coach Pete Carroll, they'll be preparing for a season of extremely high expectations and doing so under a spotlight that's brighter than anything they've ever known -- why yes, that is Richard Sherman on the cover of this week's Sports Illustrated.
And while we won't fully know just how well the Seahawks handle all of that until winter, they can do plenty, starting this week, to prepare for one of the most anticipated seasons in Seattle sports history, starting with answering these five questions:
1. Magnificent 7?
Following the loss in Atlanta that ended the Seahawks' playoff run, Pete Carroll said his team's No. 1 priority would be improving the pass rush. The Seahawks hope to have done that by signing Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett, the beginning of a series of changes that will have front seven looking quite a bit different than a year ago. Two rookies, Jesse Williams and Jordan Hill, as well as veteran Tony McDaniel all figure to play into the rotation at defensive tackle. One of them will take over the starting job that used to belong to Alan Branch, but Seattle's base defense will hardly be its only look.
Already the Seahawks are tinkering with Bruce Irvin at linebacker. If, or when, he's playing that position, expect the Seahawks to look more like a team with five linemen on the field -- or perhaps more accurately, a 3-4 defense with outside linebackers serving as edge rushers.
There is a lot of uncertainty when it comes to the front seven, even if there is plenty of talent from which to choose. First, Irvin is suspended for the first four games of the season. Then the Seahawks have a new defensive coordinator, Dan Quinn, who is expected to be a bit more aggressive. Also, Chris Clemons is still a question mark for the start of the season because of the knee injury he suffered in the playoffs
The addition of cornerback Antoine Winfield, who is expected to play as the third cornerback in nickel packages, could also affect the front seven as well. Winfield, despite being undersized, is one of the league's best cornerbacks at defending the run, so that skill set, along with Kam Chancellor's strength against the run, could tempt the Seahawks to use five defensive backs and two linebackers more than they have in the past.
So how's it all going to look? Well even Carroll probably couldn't tell you at this point, but he and Quinn will no doubt have fun this summer figuring it out.
2. How good will the QB be?
Some have wondered if Russell Wilson might suffer a sophomore slump after his breakout rookie season, but if anything Wilson should only be better. Wilson had a passer rating of 100.0 last year, the second best total for a rookie in league history behind fellow class of 2012 QB Robert Griffin III, and he tied Peyton Manning's rookie record with 26 touchdown passes.
Still, as good as his numbers were, Wilson's stats early in the season were pretty pedestrian. When you look at what he did in the second half of the season and the playoffs, Wilson wasn't just one of the best rookie quarterbacks in the league, he was one of the best quarterbacks period, throwing 19 touchdowns with just three interceptions in those 10 games.
Oh, and let's not forget that Wilson spent his rookie training camp splitting reps with Tarvaris Jackson and Matt Flynn, so he wasn't just going into the season as a rookie starter, he was doing so as one of the least prepared, in terms of practice reps, quarterbacks in the league.
"We're just a million miles ahead of where we were," Carroll said of Wilson during May organized team activities.
And if you think Wilson is the kind of player who will let all the praise go to his head and lose his edge, well then you haven't been paying attention at all.
As for who backs Wilson up, the battle between Jackson and Brady Quinn seems to favor Jackson, Seattle's starter in 2011, but as last year's camp showed us, Carroll isn't about to just give a job to a quarterback without an honest competition.
3. What is Percy Harvin's role?
The Seahawks gave up a first-round pick and a bunch of money to get a player they see as a game-changer, but exactly how they'll use Harvin remains to be seen. Harvin's versatility means we likely will see him line up some as an outside receiver, sometimes in the slot, and even a bit in the backfield.
Also, how often will the Seahawks let one of their highest-paid players return kickoffs? Carroll said Harvin will return kicks, but he also added that it won't be an every kickoff situation.
The addition of Harvin also creates a lot of other questions for the offense. How much will his presence keep Golden Tate or Doug Baldwin off of the field? Or if the Seahawks play more three- and four-receiver sets, how much less will they use two tight-end sets, or how many fewer snaps will that mean for the fullback?
While the Seahawks won't suddenly get pass happy, the evolution of Wilson along with the addition of Harvin likely means at least a few more passes each game. With Christine Michael now in the mix at running back, will that mean a few less touches for Marshawn Lynch? Lynch still will be the lead back, make no mistake about that, but at 27, the Seahawks might just want to limit his workload a bit this year.
4. How's the knee?
Offensive lineman James Carpenter, Seattle's 2011 first-round pick, is coming back from another knee surgery. This one a minor procedure that was done in the spring, and while he should be back during training camp, it remains to be seen exactly how much he'll be able to do or what kind of playing shape he'll be in. If fully healthy, Carpenter could provide an upgrade at left guard, but for a man his size with a history of knee issues, nothing can be assumed heading into camp.
Defensive end Chris Clemons, meanwhile, is coming back from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee that he suffered in January. By all accounts he's recovering well, but it's impossible for the Seahawks to assume a player coming off of that serious of an injury will be ready for the season opener.
Is it possible? Sure, but Clemons will have to show, if not right way, then at some point before the season starts, that he is ready to go full speed so soon after a major injury. Vikings running back Adrian Peterson showed last year that quick recoveries from ACL injuries are possible, but that was hardly the norm.
5. What's up for grabs?
Well, Carroll's always-compete philosophy would dictate that all positions are, but in all reality we know that the Seahawks have very few starting jobs available.
As mentioned above, Carpenter figures to be a starter when he is fully healthy, but the Seahawks, with or without him, are not settled at guard. J.R. Sweezy and John Moffitt traded off on the left side last year, while Paul McQuistan started on the other side. All three could be battling for one spot depending on Carpenter's situation.
The changes to the defensive front seven, also mentioned earlier, also creates a pair of new starting jobs with Branch and Hill gone. Regardless of who starts, there will be so much rotation up front that a handful of players will see significant playing time, not just two.
While Zach Miller is entrenched as the starting tight end, the backup job is pretty wide open. That's not a starting job, but for a team that likes two-tight-end sets, the second tight end will be on the field plenty. Rookie Luke Willson looks like a legitimate downfield threat, while Sean McGrath is the more complete all-around tight end. Seattle also added former Falcons tight end Michael Palmer this week to add to the competition.
Winfield is expected to be the nickel corner -- again, not technically a starting role, but a significant one -- but a finally healthy Walter Thurmond might prove too talented to leave off the field. Remember, it was Thurmond and not Richard Sherman who took over as a starter in 2011 when Marcus Trufant went down with an injury. Sherman's chance came only after Thurmond broke his leg. That's not to say that the SI cover boy is in danger of losing his job, but rather a reminder that Thurmond has legitimate talent when healthy.
The Seahawks also plan to use rookie Spencer Ware at fullback and running back, and it's going to be tough to find room on the roster for two fullbacks, so is there any chance Ware could push Michael Robinson for a job? That's unlikely given that Robinson is a Pro Bowl player, a leader in the locker room and a special teams standout, but we should know by now that Carroll is always willing to let young players compete with veterans for jobs.
