well, this time I report a strange behaviour occured under Windows XP release.
I was trying to check some corners that were not "joined": I mean that the two lines behaved like separate lines.
In fact zoomming in with mouse wheel I saw the truth: there was a very little gap between the 2 lines.
Just to better see what I was doing I continued to zoom the part but... suddenly one line became invisible!
I zoommed out and... voilà! There was again.
I zoomed in again, but it disappeared again.
Well, I had to got pleased with the latest visible "frame"...
However if I did left click around (when the line was invisible) I got it: I could see in the property editor panel that I caught it.
This is not the first time I meet this problem and always under Windows (but another XP release-now SP2"- and another hardware configuration).
The same drawing didn't cause the same problem under Mac OSX (Snow Leopard).

Quick GiftsHeadbands and Washcloths
This may be most popular with the college set, but my friends get really
excited when I give them knitted headbands or washcloths for gifts. I think
little girls or young women everywhere would like them.
For the bands, make a three-stitch i-cord for about three inches, then switch to your favorite stitch that is about one to two inches wide and knit it until it measures from the back of one ear to the other, then make another i-cord for another three inches and you're finished.
You can make them wider for a bolder statement, but be careful that your pattern doesn't curl.
Grabby wools are perfect for this and it is a good way to use up your stash.
Knitting on the i-cord helps prevent ripping.
Knit washcloths in any pretty cotton in any pattern. I like to use nubby patterns or "picture knitting" from Alice Walker books.

SAN JOSE -- The Earthquakes start an important stretch of three games in eight days Saturday against the Vancouver Whitecaps hoping to find an offense that has been sorely lacking.
San Jose (1-2-3) has scored only six goals in six games but also has shown hints of life every time Portuguese newcomer Yannick Djalo steps on the field.
Djalo, on loan from S.L. Benfica of Lisbon, isn't quite ready to play a full game.
In the meantime, the Quakes need to start scoring to get in the Western Conference playoff race with fourth-place Colorado playing at Buck Shaw Stadium on Wednesday and first-place FC Dallas coming Saturday.
For now, the attack-minded players feel pressure, and disappointment, for the way the season has started.
The Quakes failed to get a shot on target in a scoreless draw against Colorado two weeks ago. They mustered only three total shots last weekend in a 1-0 win over Chivas USA.
"Until we can start scoring our defense has a lot of pressure to keep the ball out of the net," midfielder Shea Salinas said.
The Whitecaps (2-2-4) will play host to a team boasting two consecutive shutouts.
Salinas, 27, has given the Quakes an assist at a time they need it the most. His accurate crossing passes have led to four assists in six MLS games -- a half dozen assists in eight overall matches this season.
But there is one hurdle Salinas has not cleared in his breakout seventh year: Placating San Jose's strikers.
"The forward mentality is always, 'I want more,' " Salinas said. "They want the ball a lot ,and they want the ball perfectly every time and I am not doing that."
Quakes forwards Chris Wondolowski and Alan Gordon let their primary server know how they feel.
"Wondo and Alan want to be on the scoresheet every single game," Salinas said. "I just try to be quiet and work hard."
But the 5-foot-10 Texan also acknowledges the forwards aren't harping about service as much as in the past because Salinas is creating good chances.
The midfielder is on pace to have his best season after a career-high eight assists in 28 games last year.
"Ultimately he is a guy who needs to be wide running at defenders," coach Mark Watson said.
There was a time when all Salinas did was run.
In his first two years while playing for the Earthquakes, Salinas was happy just to beat a defender regardless of how accurate he crossed into the penalty box.
"I thought it was good enough to just put my head down and run as fast as I can," he said.
Now he knows better after spending two seasons in Philadelphia and Vancouver before returning to San Jose in 2012.
"Now I define success a little differently," he said.
It shows as Salinas has become a complete winger who can possess the ball and find goal scorers, as he did Saturday in serving Djalo for the only goal in San Jose's victory.
Salinas' trajectory parallels his career at Furman, where he struggled his first two seasons before becoming a pro prospect.
As Salinas continues to polish his game, he also hopes to add a scoring dimension that has been lacking. Salinas has scored seven MLS goals, never more than two in one season.
He has found himself in good scoring positions "but it is a difficult skill to develop when you are running full speed," he said. "It looks easy, just cut back and there is a wide-open goal."
Putting it away has been much tricker, as all the Earthquakes have learned this year.

The funny thing about running is that we all have to start somewhere. The good thing is that you'll find a lot of people start in similar shoes as you. When I did I was overweight and just made the decision that I was going to run. The tricky part for me came when I had to keep making that decision. Running takes a lot of personal commitment because you may not see outward changes right away, but you must have patience with yourself.
I was born with a heart condition and running helped me to gain control of my condition by training my heart to be more efficient. I had to have patience with myself while my body adapted to what I was asking it to do. And I had to learn to trust that my body knew what it was doing and that I had to work with it instead of forcing it to do something it wasn't ready for. I still struggle with that but it gets easier.
I saw an ad in a magazine that basically hammered home that everytime you step out the door and complete a run, you've gained something. That it takes sacrifice, but to run without sacrifice is meaningless.
You have everything to gain from this experience. Embrace the ups and the downs (that was my hardest part) and good luck. You can do it.
"You look both terrified and determined at the same time."- Nobriga, during springboard diving
"Yeah, that about sums my entire life thus far."- Me
Becky, I am 100 pounds overweight and am on Week 7 Day 2. I ran 28 min straight this morning. I used to walk but no great distance and I am not fast by any means. I did it and am doing it; you can too. I just made sure I took it slow; the running part. I always take a day off between runs and I always warm up 5 min and cooldown 5 min. I haven't had any major trouble. I am running about 16.5 - 17 min miles but I am doing it. I am just trying to build up endurance right now. YOU can do it!!! Just listen to your body. I haven't had to repeat a week or day yet but I know I still have alot of work to do even when I graduate from C25K in two weeks.
Thank you everyone. I am so happy to say that I went to The Running Room last night, and the guy that helped me was great. It helped that I was his only customer, too. I felt at ease and comfortable, and I got me some new ASICS. Love them! Thanks everyone for the encouragement!
P.S. Megan, that sounds great!
Hey Becky!
You just inspired me to join the forum...
I started C25K 2 years ago, got to about the 4th week, got bronchitis and quit. The coughing was one thing, but running with my knees together so I wouldn't pee my pants while coughing was difficult.
I'm 31 also. 2 years ago during the running program, I got down to 169lbs. Now, 2 years of anti-anxiety meds and no exercise, I'm about 222lbs. And I should mention only 5'3.
Anyhow, I am wanting to start again, and was unsure if it was safe to start at this weight. I really have no desire to start walking, because the results when I did it before were sooooooo fast and obvious. You get a major "high" from running. That's what makes you want to keep at it. I was just too embarrassed to ask anyone if I can do it at this weight.
This was meant as a private message, but think I'll post it on the forum too.... part of me committing to the program...
Did you begin the program yet?
Visit my blog @ www.adayinthelifeofcarrien.blogspot.com
Began September 7, 2009
Wow, this is one of the best, most positive and encouraging threads I've seen in a while. Becky, thanks for starting it. Everyone else, thanks for reminding me why I love this sport so much. Becky, please keep us posted on your progress - we're all rooting for you!
That is so great that you're doing this. I agree that you should start of slowly and build up. I started with walking three miles a day and then transitioned into running. I was a heavy smoker when I started, but I lost 30 pounds. I quit smoking & gained the 30 pounds back, but I'm healthy now. I'm 51 years old and run about 18 miles per week. It is so empowering to take control of your life and your body. Good luck to you! And hang in there...
Becky, Trust me, not everyone who runs and is thin now started out this way. I started running last July and I too had a lot of weight to lose. I didn't start out for that reason and still believe it or not for me it isn't for weight loss, but it has been a nice perk. I started for my DS to help him with a goal he had to achieve (I was there to help support and coach him through his runs) but in the process I got hooked, big time. Once he achieved his goal, he stopped running and I kept going. I always had a weight problem, up and down yo yo dieter for years and had given up on any real weight loss, figured I'd be a pleasantly plump (alright I was down right fat) middle aged gal. I too was afraid of what I looked like running but to solve that problem, I ran in the am....very early am. Started running before work to avoid the evening neighborhood gossip (everyone is always outside after work and school aren't they)? Now, I have my habbit going for me but don't really give a **** about what anyone thinks...remember, those people are the ones sitting around NOT doing anything for their health. The real runners are going to be there cheering you on, no matter what you weigh or look like! Get good shoes, make committment today to get out there and make the same committment every time you plan to run. Take your time, and most of all, enjoy it. You may not love every run, but I promise you will always love how you feel (both mentally and physically) when you are done with a run. You are really giving yourself a gift......and you are empowering yourself by taking the control back! Good luck, and post often so we know your progress!
Thank you everyone, so much, for all the support. I am so glad I joined this forum. I will definitely keep you all posted on the progress.
Go Becky GO!
Ahhh, now that's out of my system. This thread is great. When I started C25K I was overweight and 8 months post hip replacement. So imagine how stupid I looked "waddling" around the track, sucking wind from every opening in my body, talking to myself so I wouldn't quit. I know you're self-conscious, but I think you know the risk is worth the reward!
Keep us posted!
This is the perfect place for me! I have been looking for a group who were in a similiar situation as me. I too am about 100 pounds overweight, I quit smoking 8 weeks ago and have been doing the C25K for about 8 weeks. I hurt myself in the beginning and had to stop to let my body heal and start over (I did this twice). I have to listen to my body and not be afraid to take is easy, I am determined to finish this thing it just may take awhile.
I completely understand your angst about going to the running store, I was sick to my stomach when I was driving to the store but once I got there it was great, they were excited for me to be a part of my journey to being healthy. My salesperson listened to me and my concerns we went through several pairs of shoes before finding the one's I liked.
I have now completed W1D2 and feel pretty good, I have a little soreness in my hips but it's just soreness not injury. I am starting some cross training on my off days from running, I am going to do some swimming and cycling. I have found the first race I am going to compete in, it's the first part of December. I am giving myself plenty of time to get through the program.
Keep in touch I'd like to know how it's going to you..
This is a great place for support. I'm mostly a lurker, but have posted a few times. I'm in my 13th week of running. I ran my way up to week 7 and started having trouble with my knee. So I've backed up to week 5, and am doing the 8 and 8 every workout until my knee feels stronger. It feels so good to run and I hate when I can't! I'm also slower than molasses. My goal is to run 4 mph consistantly! Right now I'm around 3.7. I usually run on the treadmill, as everytime I run outside (which I enjoy) I end up with more knee pain.
I'm a 32 year old mom, with another 30 or so pounds I'd like to lose. I'm down 9 pounds since I started. I'd like it to be more, but lately I haven't been watching what I eat. It seems when I run, I eat well, and when I don't run, I eat everything I see! :lol:
Anyway, YOU GO GIRL!
I am a hundred pounds overweight too and 49 years old. I just finished Week 8 Day 2. I run slow; 16.5 to 17 min miles right now but I am doing it. You can do it. I even run in my neighborhood and if people see me; I just smile and wave. They have been waving at me now and I think cheering me on. If not, I don't care anymore; I am doing it for me and my health.
Oh my goodness. I never expected this outpouring of support. This is overwhelming. I feel I owe it to you guys to be honest, so here it is: Today was day 1 one week 1, and I only lasted 10 minutes. Well, 15 if you count the 5 minute warm-up walk. After 10 minutes of running/walking I felt like I was going to keel over. So I walked the rest of the way. I was ready to cry! But I guess I will just keep going. Thank you everyone for being so nice to me.
Becky - you are doing great! just getting out there is a victory! Just keep doing it and try to add to it when you are ready. You will get there - just don't give up. You can do it!!

None of the recent UbiSoft games I can think of are compatible with gamepads. Assassin's Creed 2, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Splinter Cell Conviction and now Driver. UbiSoft should really consider adding gamepad support as they did with previous games such as Shaun White and Prince of Persia
They work on the windows platform though. Thats the entire rub me the wrong way concept. Why one platform and not the other??

Many quantities in After Effects are either points in time or spans of time, including the current time, layer In and Out points, and durations of layers, footage items, and compositions.
By default, After Effects displays time in Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) timecode: hours, minutes, seconds, and frames. You can change to another system of time display, such as frames, or feet and frames of 16mm or 35mm film.
You may want to see time values in Feet + Frames format, for example, if you are preparing a movie for eventual output to film; or in simple frame numbers if you plan to use your movie in an animation program such as Flash. The format you choose applies to the current project only.

Espnrise.com is having a tournament for the best state in boys hoops much like they did this previous fall witrh football. Should be interesting to see who wins.
Is there any real question? Indiana has the best HS hoops.
It's hard to believe that Indiana might not get voted into the 8-state playing field. The Top 25 is littered with Indiana teams... well-represented with three teams making the list. Only one other state tops that (Florida with four).
NO NO NO.... I think Indiana has the most history and the biggest basketball lovers in the country yet my state would be California. The state is huge which is why it has such an advantage but the talent around the LA section has scouts drooling every year
I agree with lil penny, Indiana and kentucky are the most basketball crazy states, but the most talented states are always going to be the ones with the bigger populations.
Legend Status
Thats a whole new can of worms when it comes to which state are the most crazy about basketball and the history they have (Kentucky and Indiana). Yet the talent comes from other states with with cities.
I think the problem with states like Kentucky and Indiana is that they have great teams, just not as many as some of the other states. Indiana might have a bunch of top 25 teams, but after that the talent probably drops off a bit.
I agree. I must say that those states with large cities are the ones with the premier high school hoops. Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Houston/Dallas, Los Angleles. There is a difference between talent and the devotion for basketball

Here's a piece from last week's news that we just couldn't let go without comment.
You may not know this about BookRenter, but we're wild about independent campus stores. They are the heart of a campus and the only retailers out there that have students' best interest in mind.
We were very sad to hear that the independent campus store at Humbolt State University was the latest store of many to cease operations as an independent store following a vote to allow the Follett Corporation to run the store under a lease agreement.
This begs the question, with more than 7,500 students, why couldn't the HSU store operate successfully?
We cannot say for certain what happened at HSU, but here is a pattern that we see emerging – one that we find truly dismaying and bad for students.
An independent campus store operates in support of a college and its students. The profits of that store are returned to the college in the form of lowered costs for education. It is in the store's best interest to do what is right for their students.
A lease store, such as the one now operated by Follett at Humbolt State, operates for the benefit of a corporation. Dollars flow from students to a corporation that operates for the benefit of its owners. The schools makes some money on the deal, but the fact remains – the relationship between the campus and the student is handed over in part to a corporation that cares about its profits a whole lot more than whether or not the students can afford their textbooks.
Why does BookRenter care? We are passionate about one thing and one thing only – making education more affordable and accessible to students.
We think it's important to help independent bookstores remain independent so they can fulfill their mission to students. That's why we give them free (yes, free!) access to the same cutting edge technology that we use to run bookrenter.com. This allows them to offer a superior in store and online shopping experience that delights their students.
So, when you shop at your college store, find out where those dollars go. If they aren't coming back to you, the student, then maybe it's time to shop somewhere else.

Democratic candidate Percy Bland will face opponent Rod Amos in the primary election on Tuesday, May 7th.
He's no stranger to the political scene in Meridian. Four years ago, he lost the mayoral race by only 300 votes to current mayor Cheri Barry. But now, Percy Bland is giving it another try and says crime will obviously be the biggest concern he is faced with if elected. He tells Newscenter 11 he'll start with the police department.
"I want there to be a stronger relationship and more outreach from the police department to the citizens," Bland explains. "So that we can build up the trust, so that there can be true trust in the community, so we can help solve some of our crime issues a lot better."
Bland tells us another way he plans to deal with the crime issue is by adding street lighting to some of the areas of the city that aren't well lit. He also wants MPD officers to have better technology to help with fighting crime. Of course, a permanent police chief is needed.
"I want someone who has the experience and knowledge of training officers, leading a department," Bland says. "And also taking us in a direction with our police department, so that our officers know their job."
Bland says he realizes crime has been a concern of many residents for years now and says any changes that need to be made to help in the fight against crime, will be made within his first 90 days in office.
Mayor Cheri Barry will appear on On the Record with John Johnson on Sunday evening at 5:30 p.m. William Bond Compton, Jr. will appear on Sunday, April 21st at 5:30 p.m.

STOCKTON - A woman stood outside her home sharing her fears while children ran along a sidewalk Tuesday afternoon in a north Stockton neighborhood where a man was shot to death the night before.
"There are kids up and down this street, and people are usually out walking their dogs, but I'm going to be cautious about leaving the house at night now," the woman said, speaking on condition of anonymity because she feared for her safety. "We don't know if this was a random act of violence or if somebody wanted to kill him. If it's a random act of violence, it's even scarier."
Homicide detectives from the Stockton Police Department are searching for answers following the fatal shooting in the 9200 block of Lariat Lane, a residential street near McNair High School, about a mile north of East Hammer Lane. Some residents reported hearing gunshots when the shooting occurred about 7:30 p.m. Monday.
Detectives are still trying to determine a motive for the killing, said Officer Joe Silva, a spokesman for the Police Department. Authorities have not released the victim's name or a description of the shooter.
The homicide occurred around the corner from a location on Fleetwood Way where two people were shot and one died during a raucous party in 2008. The street is typically quiet, said another neighbor who spoke on condition of anonymity because she feared for her safety.
"I feel safe here, but things can happen anywhere," she said. "I am hoping it will never happen again in our neighborhood."

Does Wii U Lack a Game That Matches the Wii?
By Ian Sherr and Matthew Lynley
When the Nintendo Wii launched, it brought with it early two titles that blew away most gamers: "Wii Sports" and "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess."
Checking Metacritic, a site that aggregates critical reviews of games and other entertainment, both of those games fared particularly well among Web reviewers: "Wii Sports" scored a 76 out of 100, and "Twilight Princess" launched with 95 out of 100.
The first score is OK, but the second elevates "Twilight Princess" to the status of being one of the highest-rated games of all time.
The Wii U launched on Sunday, but it doesn't appear to a game that has the same blowout performance as "Twilight Princess."
The core launch game based on its existing franchises for the Wii U, "New Super Mario Bros. U," scored an 82 out of 100. "Nintendo Land," a party-themed game that might be more adequately compared to "Wii Sports," scored 76 out of 100.
While these scores are on a single Website, they are considered an important indicator of sales throughout the industry. A low score is considered a huge blow for games. Metacritic aggregates and scores a game based upon reviews from other outlets.

The Henderson County All-Stars are the same group of players who won the 7-year-old Little League state championship a year ago.
Things were looking good for Henderson County early on, as they took a 5-3 lead in the fourth after fighting back from a 3-0 deficit.
Weddington then answered with three runs in the bottom of the fifth to take the lead for good.
CJ Landrum once again had the hot bat for Henderson County. He finished the game going 2-for-3 with a triple, a double and three RBIs, . He was the only Henderson County player with more than one hit. Other county All-Stars who got a hit were Elyja Gibbs, Garrett Freeman, Jordan Holbert, Machi Sampson, Gabe Pace, Kaden Taylor and Devin Walker.

Due to the mythological nature of the Old Testament and the obviously biased nature of the New Testament, I've declared the bible as a whole an unreliable historical source. Just recently I've decided to challenge that theory and am now doing research. What do you think, personally, about the validity of the bible as a historical resource?
On both sides, do you have any scientific/archeological/historian-based resources on the topic? I'm obviously looking for unbiased resources, so if your source is from a church or Christian website, I'm not likely to put much credence to it, although I'm sure other posters will.
ETA: I'm referring to the Christian Bible, although we can discuss other religious documents if you want. Also, by accurate, I mean do you believe the happenings in the Bible to be true (creationism, burning bush, Noah's Ark, miracles, resurrection, etc).

PLEASANTON -- Fourth of July fireworks will make a triumphant return to the Alameda County Fair this year after a 16-year absence.
The July 4 fireworks fit in nicely with this year's fair theme, "Taste the Red, White & Blue," and the national holiday just happens to fall on a Friday.
"The fireworks are iconic," said Angel Moore, the fair's marketing manager. "It's basically a gift to the community. We want to celebrate America. That's why our theme this year is red, white and blue."
Fireworks were suspended after a July 4 shooting at the fair in 1998. Fireworks were brought back on other nights, but Moore said fairgoers have long clamored for the return of holiday fireworks.
"It's going to be a spectacular event," she said of the 15-minute show. "It will be amazing. The fair will remain open so that our guests can see the fireworks show. We will not be closing early as we have in previous years."
Short nightly videos celebrating Alameda County will be followed by small pyrotechnics displays that can be seen within the fairgrounds only. Those brief special effects shows are similar to what might be seen at a concert. The 102nd annual fair opens June 18 for a 17-day run. Except for Mondays, it will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Opening-day admissions and rides are just $1.
Music fans will enjoy a new program that gives them a break from waiting in line all day and evening to see their favorite singers and bands. Every day, the first 300 people in line from 2 to 3 p.m. will get wristbands that give them priority admission to concerts, which are free with fair admission.
"Oftentimes, people get here early and start lining up for someone like LeAnn Rimes," Moore said of this year's biggest headliner. "We'd like them to go out and enjoy the fair."
People with wristbands can return at 6 p.m. for priority admission to concerts before gates are open to the public at 7 p.m. Other acts announced for this year are Eddie Money, Creedence Clearwater Revisited, Evolution (a Journey tribute band), Con Funk Shun and Night Ranger. More concerts will be announced for other evenings.
Another new event this year is the Snackdown contest that challenges food vendors to come up with the best new food items never before served at the fair. The three competition categories are best taste, most creative and best red, white and blue theme.
All contest entrants will be identified on their food booths and on the food maps so that fairgoers can seek out creative new foods, Moore noted.
"We're really excited this year with the return of our Fourth of July fireworks," Moore said. "We're excited to bring our community the tradition and education that the fair offers."
Visit alamedacountyfair.com for more information about the fair and to buy tickets online.

PITTSBURG -- A man and woman were in stable condition at a hospital Tuesday morning, hours after police said they were targeted in a shooting on a street in a residential neighborhood.
The victims, a 22-year-old man and 19-year-old woman both from Pittsburg, were walking to another residence in the 1900 block of Heatherwood Drive around 10:40 p.m. Monday when a red or maroon vehicle pulled up and an occupant started firing shots, Pittsburg police Lt. Ron Raman said. The woman was hit in the lower back, and the man was hit in the right arm, Raman said.
Police were still trying to clarify the make of the vehicle, and they said they gathered information that indicates the two victims were fighting with a third party in another area of the neighborhood sometime before the shooting, Raman said.
"We believe that the shooting may be connected to that altercation," Raman said. "We also have good reason to believe that the two victims were the targets of the shooting."
Two bullet holes in the front of a house on Heatherwood Drive were visible from the street Tuesday morning. The home's owner said the wounded woman ran screaming up to his door.
"I didn't answer immediately, because I'd just heard all these shots ring out and you don't know what's happening," said James Moore, who has lived in the home since 1990. "But after I opened the door, I saw the woman lying on her back. and I took her jacket off, and could see the blood. My wife called 911, and I grabbed a towel and put direct pressure on the wound."
Moore said the woman appeared to have been shot near her spine and was complaining that she had no feeling in her legs.
"We've had a couple of small things in the past, fires and burglaries," he said. "But nothing ever like this."
Police said they are following up on leads, but that no arrests have been made. Anyone with information is urged to call Pittsburg police at 925-252-4980.

Even their Super Bowl ring asks the big question. It's right there on the band, engraved in white gold under the score of last year's triumph, "Sea 43-Den 8."
That's where it says, "What's Next?"
The answer could be a profound one for a team as young, brash and talented as the Seattle Seahawks. They have a long way to go to establish a dynasty, but they have a start -- they have the "D."
The Seahawks allowed the fewest points in the NFL (231) last season and also led the league in total defense (273.6 yards per game), passing defense (172.0 yards per game), takeaways (39), interceptions (28) and turnover differential (plus-20).
It sounds funny asking Richard Sherman if he can repeat himself. The All-Pro cornerback talks more than a county fair auctioneer. But he backed it up a year ago, including with his memorable end-zone coverage of the 49ers' Michael Crabtree to end the NFC championship game.
It should be no surprise then that Sherman embraces the idea of some back-to-back yakety-yak. He recently told the NFL Network that the Seahawks' 2014 season could be even better than their 2013 campaign.
"We're a lot more experienced. There are a bunch of young guys," he said. "Last year, you forget, Russell (Wilson) was a second-year quarterback -- going into his third year, there's going to be a lot of growth for him.
"I'm going into my fourth, Earl (Thomas) and Kam (Chancellor) are going into their fifth, Bobby Wagner going into his third, we've got some young guys coming up on the D-line that are going to do some things, Mike Bennett and Cliff Avril, another year of experience. Jermaine Kearse, I think, is going to have a big year. Guys are elevating their game to another level."
What's next?
It's an enticing question for a team that, by one measure, rode the youngest roster to win a Super Bowl. The Seahawks had an adjusted-value weighted age of 26.4 years per player, according to Football Outsiders.
Using that formula, the next youngest teams to reach or win the big game -- the 1971 Miami Dolphins (26.4 years), the 1981 49ers (26.5 years) and the 1974 Pittsburgh Steelers (26.6 years) -- all went on to establish long-term dominance.
That's what the Seahawks are hoping for, having assembled the nucleus of a team that could stick around for awhile.
"One of the things that happens every so often is teams have a big fallout after they win the Super Bowl," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said, one day after winning the Super Bowl. "We're not in that situation."
For recent Super Bowl winners, the answer to "what's next?" has been "a big letdown." The last back-to-back champions were the New England Patriots in 2003-04.
Since then, no Super Bowl champ has won so much as a single playoff game the following year. In fact, three of the past five Super Bowl winners -- the Baltimore Ravens (2012), the New York Giants (2011) and the Steelers (2008) -- missed the playoffs completely.
"Maybe because they get pressured by all the questions about it?" Thomas grumbled when a reporter asked him about Super Bowl hangovers after a recent exhibition.
The Seahawks have a chance to break the skid, in part because their cornerstone players are so young. Quarterback Russell Wilson, 25, became the fourth quarterback to win a Super Bowl in his first or second season in the league, joining Kurt Warner, Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger.
He is 24-8 as a regular-season starter for a .750 winning percentage, and that trails only Brady (.775) among active quarterbacks with 10 or more starts. (the 49ers' Colin Kaepernick ranks third, 17-6, .739).
"He's so special," Carroll said of Wilson. "He's just a tremendous competitor. And he's going to keep going. There are records this guy is going to continue to knock off."
Wilson owes much of his winning percentage to a historically potent supporting cast. With the Seahawks' smothering defense and a running game led by Marshawn Lynch, it's not as if the quarterback is carrying the load. Writer Doug Farrar, in a thorough analysis for Football Outsiders, noted that no team has thrown fewer passes over the past two seasons than the Seahawks.
Still, Wilson is adept at picking his spots. The Seahawks gained 1,500 yards on deep passes last year, seventh-best in the league. (The 49ers were 22nd with 1,112 yards.)
Wilson also has 52 career touchdown passes, making him one of only three quarterbacks in league history to top 50 in his first two seasons. The others are Dan Marino (68) and Peyton Manning (52).
The defense, meanwhile, will try to ensure that any Seahawks points serve mostly to run up the score. Sherman and Thomas signed lavish contract extensions in the offseason, highlighting a unit that stays mostly intact.
The Seahawks did bid farewell to some key players during free agency, including leading receiver Golden Tate (who signed with the Detroit Lions), starting right tackle Breno Giacomini (New York Jets), starting defensive ends Red Bryant and Chris Clemons (both released, then picked up by the Jacksonville Jaguars) and former starting cornerbacks Brandon Browner (New England Patriots) and Walter Thurmond (New York Giants).
The biggest challenge for the so-called "Legion of Boom" will be avoiding a blizzard of yellow flags. Seattle committed an NFL-worst 9.1 flags per game (including declined and offsetting).
Now, with an added emphasis from officials on downfield contact, Seattle defenders expect extra scrutiny on their already controversial coverage. Former New York Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride famously said in December that the Seahawks defense had "perfected the art" of defensive holding.
To prepare for the new look, referees are at all Seahawks practices throwing flags on every illegal-contact penalty.
"We understand where the game is going, and we adapted to the rule change," Thomas told USA Today. "You just practice it, and it becomes second nature. We've been in practice, trying to keep our hands clean in one-on-ones.
"Every chance we get, we want to help this team in a positive way. We definitely don't want to penalize this team."
It helps, of course, that the Seahawks are 15-1 at CenturyLink Field over the past two seasons.
The place is famously noisy. Is it enough produce an echo in 2014?

Video: Below Grand Central, Digging for the Future
When he shows visitors to the excavated site of the future $8.2 billion train terminal deep below Grand Central Terminal, Michael Horodniceanu likes to begin in the landmarked station itself.
Grand Central, which marks its 100-year anniversary on Friday, was functioning at its usual mid-afternoon pace on a recent weekday afternoon at the start of the tour. Passengers scurried toward trains on the lower level as others queued up at sandwich stalls or paused to read a paper.
Horodniceanu, the president of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's capital construction division, was focused on a very different hive activity occurring 160 feet below the station's dining concourse, where contractors were hard at work on the what the MTA calls the largest — and least visible — transportation construction project in the county, known as East Side Access.
Crews barely noticed by commuters have blasted two massive caverns from the bedrock deep beneath Park Avenue, which will eventually hold eight platform tracks to bring trains from the Long Island Railroad into Grand Central for the first time. The job won't be completed until 2019 at least — in time, perhaps, for the venerable station's 106th birthday.
To get those trains into the new subterranean station, Horodniceanu and the MTA's contractors mined tunnels under the heart of Midtown, linked them to the unused lower story of an existing tunnel under the East River at 63rd Street and dug a new connection through the soft soil of Queens beneath the nation's busiest passenger rail interlocking.
One day, when the long-running project is complete, roughly 160,000 new commuters with pass through through Grand Central each day. The link between Long Island's towns and the office on Manhattan's East Side with bypass the current trip through Penn Station.
"There's no doubt in my mind that people will use it," Horodniceanu said, walking through what was once a rail yard for trains on the existing lower level of Grand Central. The space is now on its way to becoming a concourse for travelers heading down to the unfinished platforms below.
Despite his confidence, Horodniceanu and others at the MTA have heard criticism too. The project will soon be past its original 2013 completion date, and the delays have coincided with cost overruns. With its current $8.24 billion price tag, East Side Access dwarfs even the other MTA megaprojects, including the westward extension of the No. 7 subway line and the first phase of the Second Avenue subway.
Others have long quibbled with the design itself, suggesting that other alternatives could have been far cheaper and noting that cost per passenger would be far higher than other mass-transit improvements in the city. There is also the concern that passengers arriving 15 stories beneath the street won't have an easy time getting out into the daylight.
And the project has triggered internecine battles, especially with Amtrak, whose workers and own construction plans must be arranged to coincide with the vast work underway in Queens. The resulting disputes and delays have helped to drive up costs.
Horodniceanu, with a centennial of the old Grand Central Terminal fast approaching, was sanguine and focused on the long game. On a walk through a construction site that he happily describes as a legacy project, he compared the below-ground expansion of Grand Central to I.M. Pei's glass pyramids at the Louvre in Paris.
"It's always hard when you have a project that is, in many ways, visionary to accomplish it," he said. "People, they want to know what's on their plate tomorrow night when they have supper. They don't want to know what's going to be here in 2020 or 2019."
Holding court with a group of reporters, Horodniceanu conjured a favorite image: Some future archaeologist uncovering the tunnel boring machine his crew buried into rock after completion of their tunnels, somewhere near 37th Street. In the meantime, he said, the station he and his workers are building would be destined to become as much a part of the city's fabric as the grand edifice up at street level.
"After 200 years of Grand Central, they're going to be able to see two pieces: the original Grand Central and what we're building now," he said.

3x state champ runner up wrote:Yeah lindsel, I think I only know about 20 guys on the list, clue is in a tough spot, everyone wants in but there are only 64 spots. One constuctive criticism I have when looking at people's ratings is, the 13 seed in the cremer bracket is Kirk, i assume jesse kirk on the pdga site, now no offense to captain kirk as i dont know him from adam but he has two rounds from one intermediate tourney. Now compare that to a Grimm, greenwood, potter, Conrad, these guys have an established resume. I understand we have a whole season ahead of us and this mock bracket is exactly that, I just hope that clue, since this is his baby, can stand behind and justify each invite. If this bracket was final I think people could and would have a legit gripe.
You bring up a good point and I did notice the 2 round rating. Still not in the top 32 which would be the only thing that matters, however I'm going to amend the qualification to minimum 10* rated rounds. Now, if somebody is close and there are 2-3 tournaments that didn't get reported for the July update then I might make an exception.
In all honesty I was fearful that I wouldn't even be able to fill the 64 player bracket. I honestly figured that maybe only half of the 32 automatic qualifiers would play leaving 48 open spots. With it being a 2-day event and a semi-hefty price tag I wanted to make sure I simply filled the bracket with little regard to the quality of players. My hope is that going forward this will be a coveted tournament to get into and we will get the best 64 players in Iowa to compete, but there's little urgency for me this year. I just want to have a good time and get the word out!
BTW, I was oblivious to the Shueyville tournament. I just read about it not getting on the schedule and am going to add it asap as well as send an apology note. I certainly hope this doesn't adversely affect that tournament. It's something I've been wanting to do for a long time and being virtually last on the schedule this was the only weekend I thought was remotely reasonable.

SANTA CLARA -- Get ready to rumble: WWE's WrestleMania, one of the country's biggest annual entertainment spectacles, is coming to the Bay Area for the first time.
World Wrestling Entertainment says it will stage its main event, WrestleMania, at the San Francisco 49ers new Santa Clara stadium in March 2015. It's the first nonsports event announced for Levi's Stadium, which is expected to become one of California's biggest venues for concerts and other shows when it opens next summer.
San Jose, which will host some of the other events during a "weeklong celebration," Santa Clara and the 49ers beat out 14 other cities that submitted bids to host the 2015 and 2016 WrestleManias. Philadelphia was considered the main competition for the 2015 "pop-culture extravaganza."
"It is our largest annual celebration," WWE Executive Vice President John Saboor said in an exclusive interview with this newspaper. He said the "incredible facilities" offered by Silicon Valley, led by the new $1.3 billion stadium, won them over.
For host regions, past WrestleManias have drawn 125,000 visitors and more than 1 million viewers on pay-per-view and generated more than $100 million in economic impact, including more than $16 million in local tax revenues, the WWE says. Along with the Super Bowl in 2016, it is one of two stadium events likely large enough for the Niners to expand the seating capacity to roughly 75,000. Past WrestleManias have held more than 80,000 attendees, producing more than $12 million in ticket sales and $72 million in pay-per-view buys.
WrestleMania Week -- much in the same vein as Super Bowl week -- also features several other smaller events. That will include the WWE Hall of Fame and Monday Night Raw, both at SAP Center at San Jose, and a fan festival at the San Jose Convention Center.
Silicon Valley isn't exactly known for folding-chair smacks and flying elbows from the top turnbuckle.
But Saboor says a mix of both locals and fans from around the world will converge on the South Bay for an "unprecedented experience." He expects the company to tap into the expertise of local Silicon Valley corporations much in the same way the NFL has for the 50th Super Bowl.
WWE's charismatic chairman, Vince McMahon, promised the event would set a "new standard" for fans and be "the most interactive experience in WrestleMania history."
McMahon, who often enters press conferences accompanied by his own entrance music, and John Cena, WWE's current champion and biggest superstar, will make the formal, public announcement Tuesday morning in Santa Clara. They'll be joined by 49ers CEO Jed York, tight end Vernon Davis and officials from Santa Clara and San Jose.
"The vision for the stadium has always been to bring together all that is special about the Bay Area through the use of innovation and technology," York said in a statement. "WWE is certainly a model for innovation as they have perfectly blended the worlds of sports and entertainment. We look forward to providing the most technologically-integrated WrestleMania experience ever."
WrestleMania is the event when the former WWF's biggest story lines of the year come to a crescendo, with legends ranging from Hulk Hogan and "Macho Man" Randy Savage to the Undertaker and The Rock vying for championship belts in past events. As is customary, the main event features a title bout between the current champion and the winner of the Royal Rumble months earlier.
Tickets for WrestleMania 31 in Santa Clara, to be held Sunday, March 29, 2015, will not go on sale until late next year. Tickets for next year's event, in New Orleans, range from $25 plus fees for the nosebleeds to $2,000 for regular ringside seats to $10,000 for special "platinum" seats.
Santa Clara Mayor Jamie Matthews led a delegation to WWE's Stamford, Conn.-based headquarters this summer after York and others pitched the company's executives at the stadium.
"WrestleMania is certain to be one of the highlights of the stadium's inaugural year," Matthews said.
Along with the Super Bowl and WrestleMania, the stadium has also booked the annual Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl college football game and a college football matchup between Oregon and Cal next October. The debut event is set to be a San Jose Earthquakes game on Aug. 2. The stadium, which broke ground in April 2012, is more than 70 percent complete.

Related MediaVIDEO: FBI shoots man in Orlando
Fla. man questioned in Boston bombings killed by FBI
Published: Wednesday, May 22, 2013 at 8:02 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 22, 2013 at 1:14 p.m.
ORLANDO - Law enforcement officials say a man was shot while he was being questioned in the Boston Marathon bombing case after he lunged at an FBI agent with a knife.
Two officials confirmed that 27-year-old Ibragim Todashev came at the agent Wednesday. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release details of the investigation.
The FBI said earlier in the day that the agent was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.
An FBI team was dispatched from Washington to review the shooting, a standard step in such cases.
The FBI initially said the agent fired the fatal shot, but later in the day the bureau left open the question of who was responsible.
EARLIER ...A man was fatally shot when a team of FBI agents swarmed an apartment complex near Universal Studios in Orlando.
The man had been questioned by federal investigators earlier as a known associate of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, killed in a shootout with Boston police after allegedly setting off a pair of explosive devices in that city last month, multiple news outlets are reporting.
The man, identified by the Orlando Sentinel as Ibragim Todashev, was a mixed martial-arts fighter who knew Tsarnaev from that sport.
He had been questioned by the FBI previously, without incident, according to reports. When agents returned to question him again early today, he initially cooperated but then allegedly attacked an agent, leading to the deadly shooting.
The FBI did not immediately return a phone call early Wednesday from The Associated Press seeking details.
An FBI spokesman told Orlando television stations that their agent was conducting official duties when the shooting occurred. No further details were released, but the agency says an update is expected later Wednesday.

CORRECTION: Sept. 25, 2013
An incorrect description was included in the print and initial online version of this article. The error has been corrected.
STOCKTON - A pedestrian died Tuesday night after being struck by a car on a dark south Stockton road, authorities said.
The fatal collision occurred shortly before 8 p.m. on Industrial Drive, just west of South Airport Way, police said. The victim, who was apparently pushing a shopping cart when he was struck by the westbound vehicle, appeared to be a black man in his late 20s or early 30s.
A mile-long stretch of Industrial Road was closed while emergency responders tried to save the man's life, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the vehicle remained at the scene and was cooperating with investigators.

Arizona Utility Opens First Wind Farm
November 18, 2011
The Macho Spring wind farm was completed this month and is now online in Deming, New Mexico. The wind farm has 28 Vestas wind turbines, generating 50 megawatts (MW) of electricity. The wind turbines will supply enough renewable energy to power about 14,000 homes.
Developed and owned by Element Power US, LLC, Macho Springs began construction in January on about 2.000 acres of private land. Macho Springs will sell power to Tucson Electric Power (TEP), an Arizona utility, through a long-term power purchase agreement.
Macho Springs is the first source of wind energy utilized by TEP in their effort to provide people with power from renewable sources like wind and solar. To learn more about the Macho Springs wind farm project, read the TEP press release.

Iowa is part of the Mississippi Flyway and provides important migration habitat for waterfowl that are produced in the Prairie Pothole Region.
Almost all of Iowa's wetlands have been drained, except for the state's shallow lakes. Each fall and spring, these shallow lakes are sought out by migrating waterfowl and other water birds looking to rest and restore energy reserves before beginning the next leg of their journey.
Iowa water resources are in such short supply that shallow lakes are in high demand for recreational uses, such as fishing and water skiing. Developing shallow lakes for recreation generally brings higher water levels and rough fish, which degrades the lake and destroys waterfowl habitat.

The Hinds County coroner confirmed that a man shot several times at a Jackson apartment complex was killed.
Police said the shooting happened late Tuesday night at the Timber Ridge apartment complex in Jackson.
Investigators said when they arrived they found a man who had been shot several times. He was rushed to a local hospital, police said.
Coroner Sharon Grisham-Stewart identified the man as 23-year-old Enrique Myles. She said he had suffered gunshot wounds to his arms, legs and chest.
Police were working to determine a motive in the shooting. No arrests have been made.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 601-355-TIPS.
