Cayuga Trails 50 Is "Gorges"
Ithaca's Cayuga Trails 50 will host 2014 USATF 50-Mile National Championship
Start of the 2013 Cayuga Trails 50. Photo by Steve Gallow
Within the first few miles of the Cayuga Trails 50 Miler, runners know exactly what they are in for. When race director Ian Golden blows his traditional Norwegian ram's horn to signify the start of the race, runners follow the Gorge Trail for two miles and emerge from the woods at the first aid station, nestled above Lucifer Falls, located near an old rustic mill.
The on-course waterfall—one of many—is aptly named, as the Cayuga Trails 50 is a devil of a course. Tucked away in the beautiful trail town of Ithaca, New York, with almost 10,000 feet of elevation change, the Cayuga Trails 50 is serving as the United States Track and Field (USATF) 50-Mile National Championship race this year. This means runners have the opportunity to compete with some of the giants of the sport of trail ultrarunning.

Coming ashore on D-day
This World War II account was made by Company A of the 116th Infantry Regiment—one of the few companies to land where planned on D-day. The landing craft approached a beach untouched by aerial or naval bombardment and dropped their landing ramps. Instantly, the soldiers inside "were enveloped in a crossing of automatic fire." Only one-third of the company made it to the protection of the seawall.

Cisco's Turnaround Tale Set to Continue
SAN JOSE, Calif.( TheStreet) -- Cisco(CSCO) reports its third-quarter results after markets close on Wednesday with all signs pointing to another chapter in the networking giant's turnaround tale.
This time last year , Cisco was on the ropes. Pummeled by poor execution, weak consumer spending and intense competition, Cisco CEO John Chambers implemented a massive corporate overhaul in an attempt to build a leaner and more focused company.
|Cisco, led by John Chambers, reports third-quarter results after market close.
After enduring a turbulent 2011, Cisco is now reaping the benefits of its revamp. The San Jose, Calif.-based company put out strong second-quarter results in February, announcing that it hit the $1 billion target for its expense-reduction plan a quarter early.
Rob Lloyd, Cisco's vice president of worldwide operations, recently told TheStreet that the company has completed its turnaround and is now increasing the pressure on its competitors.
Set against this backdrop, analysts are expecting good things from the company's third quarter, particularly after underwhelming numbers from rivals Juniper(JNPR) and Alcatel-Lucent(ALU) .
Sterne Agee's checks point to strong demand in wireless, security, collaboration and Cisco's data center business, which is centered on its UCS product. Demand for the company's routing, services and switching business, which make up almost three quarters of total revenue, is "muted but stable" added Wu.
TheStreet will be live-blogging Cisco's third-quarter earnings, starting at 3:45 p.m. EDT.
"We believe Cisco continues to benefit from its business realignment implemented three quarters ago, which should lead to better sales and operational execution in the quarter," explained Nomura analyst Stuart Jeffrey, in a note released earlier this week. "The recent earnings results and commentary from its tech peers have been mixed. The data points on enterprise spending have remained stable, which we think bode well for Cisco's switching business."
Switching accounted for just under a third of Cisco's total revenue during the second quarter, with services and routing making up 18% and 21%, respectively. Cisco's switching and routing businesses both enjoyed 8% year-over-year revenue increases during the quarter, while services grew 11%.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expect Cisco to report revenue of $11.57 billion and earnings of 47 cents a share, up from $10.9 billion and 42 cents a share in the prior year's quarter.
Sterne Agee's Wu thinks that Cisco's fourth-quarter guidance will bolster the company's shares. "We believe this could mark the fourth quarter in a row where Cisco does not guide down expectations, further building investor confidence," he said.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (185 votes).
In short: Smooth organisation, good vfm, high potential race.In full: Great 10k. Challenging to do three laps but on a slightly cooler day would be PB potential. Not totally flat but interesting to use a race track and choose the lines. I wonder if they could take a leaf out of London and trace a blue line through the course. Would be helpful. Goody bag dropped down in estimation and would still prefer a medal to a t-shirt but still good VFM. Sorry that the names of runners pre-entered not on numbers this time. That was a nice touch. Great to see results up so quickly after the event. Parking good. Atmosphere good. Could have done with more water/water marshalls at the end. Massage table (fre) a bonus this time too. Will be backDate of review: August 7, 2007
In short: re: not bad - could do betterIn full: Definate PB Course. I slashed 1min 47 secs of my previous best ( swansea 10k) and I even strained my calf at the 5k mark! Organisation wasnt great. Long wait to get number and then a bizarre walk following the organiser up to the start point followed by a few minutes wait which started to let the cold set in . Also wasnt sure about the organiser chalking the finish line as we watched on! Freindly enough and good intentions. The course itself was bland but who cares if you can get a PB. Nice goody bag and mug although I always prefer a medal! ( just my preference). I did the pembrey run last week and it had a bigger event feel to it. With some tweaks this could be good.Possibly see you next year.Date of review: November 26, 2006
In short: I so enjoyed running a PB, well worth the trip!In full: I could see the check-in desk was hectic but I was lucky and had sent in a SAE for my number to be posted to me! I was hoping for a PB and sailed around, going a bit too fast at first but the brisk winds slowed me down on the back straight! A great race and the drink station and photographers were a welcomed distraction from the lap counting- see you next year!Date of review: November 26, 2006
In short: Bit boring, doing 3 laps but definite PB potential & no mud!In full: 3 laps of Castle Combe circuit wouldn't be everybody's cup of tea, but there are no poy holes, you know exactly what's coming next and you can't get lost! Organisation around the entries desk was chaotic to say the least, but instead of grumbling, I just pitched in and helped. The start was delayed by 30 mins as a result but the race itself was fine and there was even a drinks station. Some people thought it was short as there were lots of PBs but I wore my sat nav and, if anything, it was a few metres too long so those PBs are genuine! Got a goody bag ans there was a cafe on site doing hot food & drinks. Everybody was very sociable & there were a lot of 'new'runners so not at all elitist which was great. Well done - I hope there's one next year, but get your entry system sorted!Date of review: November 26, 2006

Editor for this issue: Michael Appleby <michaellinguistlist.org>
Rank of Job: Intern Areas Required: Research Other Desired Areas: Natural Languages University or Organization: Microsoft Corporation Department: Natural Languages State or Province: Redmond, WA Country: USA Final Date of Application: 2/28/01 Contact: Angel Baum rinternmicrosoft.com Address for Applications: One Microsoft Way Redmond WA 98052 USA * Modified issue #12.142: Please note the changed application deadline: February 28, 2001 * We are pleased to announce an internship opportunity in the Natural Language Processing group at Microsoft Research in Redmond, Washington. Please feel free to forward this mail to anyone who may be interested. We are looking for an intern to help improve a statistical spelling correction algorithm within the Microsoft Natural Language Processing System by incorporating pronunciation modeling. Last year MSR researchers developed a new statistical model for spelling correction that improved substantially on the previous state of the art. It appears that many of the residual errors made by the new algorithm could be corrected by modifying it to take word pronunication into account. Qualified applicants must be pursuing a graduate degree in Computer Science, Computational Linguistics or related discipline. Good programming skills (C++ and/or Perl) and a basic understanding of probability theory are required. Specialized knowledge of statistical approaches to NLP is highly desirable. Since the early 1990s, the Natural Language Processing group in Microsoft Research has been building the system -- infrastructure and grammars -- that serves as the underpinnings for Microsoft's linguistic product features. We are looking for people with backgrounds in Linguistics and/or Natural Language Processing to help us advance our ambitious research and product goals. To meet this challenge, we need outstanding research scientists with the vision, knowledge, passion, and commitment to be part of our team. What better way to get an up close and personal look at this future than by spending the summer working on very challenging projects with some very bright researchers? Our past interns have greatly impacted research in key technical areas, published papers based on their summer work at MSR, established strong ties with our industrial research staff as well as other interns, been challenged to look at super tough problems in new ways, and all the while, having fun doing it. If you'd like to learn more about the research groups, check out http://www.research.microsoft.com/research/ and then visit http://www.research.microsoft.com/opportunities/interns/ for more information on our internship opportunities. To apply, please send your resume as a Word document or in ASCII text and recommendation letters to 'rinternmicrosoft.com' We look forward to hearing from you.Mail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue

Trump signs orders advancing Keystone, Dakota pipelines
Too much anti-gun hysteria
Action by the Arlington Local School District in Hancock County, Ohio, may make reasonable people wonder where anti-gun hysteria will end.
Public schools everywhere have taken the intelligent step of banning students and staff from bringing firearms onto their campuses.
But during recent years, fear of anything related to guns has become ridiculous, to the point that one boy was disciplined because he had taken bites out of a toaster pastry until it was roughly in the shape of a pistol. In another city, a student was disciplined for wearing a shirt that defended Second Amendment rights. Through the years we've read stories of elementary students suspended for pointing their finger at another child during recess play time, or youngsters sent home from school because they brought their new plastic, miniature and obviously toy gun to their classroom as part of show and tell.
Arlington students are banned from taking gun catalogs to school. That's right: Apparently pictures and descriptions of guns are considered dangerous.
What next?
Bans on magazines that include stories about hunting or even use of the word "gun" in class? Anti-firearm hysteria long ago passed the point of absurdity.

This isn't just any Beech Sierra 200—it happens to be the very first one off the production line. At the time Mike Fizer shot this photo, the Sierra 200 was owned by Hamilton Rial III of Austin, Texas.
Senior Editor Al Marsh gave the Sierra a once-over for his July 2005 AOPA Pilot article, "Budget Buy: Cargo Sierra," which you can read online. In it, he notes some of the airplane's attributes—it has six seats (or four seats and a huge cargo area); a large cabin with twin front doors (for 1971 and later models )—and some of its lesser qualities: Parts are scarce and expensive; cabin noise is high; and the airplane isn't known to be a speed demon.—Jill W.

As it is, they lost a large portion of the server market because these chips were not made available to it, and would have been a great fit if they were. The hobbyist market continues to revile Intel's Pentium 4 and Intel has developed a negative reputation in many circles.
Why did it take them so long to figure this out? It is almost pointless now with the Conroe coming out anyway. Most people will wait, if they can, and not waste money on this when a clearly superior processor is only a few months away.
It never fails to amaze me just how stupid even big companies can be.

was quarter and here's what I came up with...
I guess I was thinking pink, kind of unusual for me, because I had finished the challenge from June at Dezinaworld. The challenge was hot pink and silver. Sadly, I didn't get it sent in in time. This week the challenge is song, dance and music. Thanks, June.
I've also been making Tattered Past hearts to decorate some of my artwork, my blog, and my etsy shop.

The Leadership MCC Program is a program for providing incentives for students who aspire to become leaders.
Leadership MCC is an academic based program that utilizes the co-curricular setting for students to practice the skills of leadership learned in coursework. Two specific courses provide the basis for this, though other courses may be completed to assist faculty and students who wish to add leadership content to the regular course objectives. The program will emphasize these core principles of leadership and seek evidence of their application in other program activities. Students will meet periodically through the semester to interact with one another in a seminar setting and to discuss the leadership questions found in current events.
Students in this program will not only learn general principles of leadership, they will confront the subject in practice as well as theory. Students who opt for this program and complete the below-listed requirements will earn recognition by award at graduation. At a certain point level, the student would receive an Affidavit Award that would attest to completion of the general program. At a greater point level, the student would be eligible for a Medallion Award, which would include and encompass the Affidavit of the lower tier.
The core of the program is two courses (3 credits each); these are elective choices in students' degree programs and are transferable. The courses have no prerequisites and are not sequenced; they can be taken in any order and at any time during the students' academic careers, and at any time they have enrolled in the Leadership MCC.
For points to be awarded, the students must earn a 'C' grade or better:
Students may also take a third course from the list below, as augmentation to the incentive plan.
Points for these courses will be awarded when the student completes an essay or course project that treats the content of that course relative to leadership issues. To earn points toward the Leadership Program, the student work would have to be approved by faculty member designated by the Leadership Program Coordinator.
In order to receive the Medallion Award, the student would be required to take both core courses. The Affidavit could be earned by students who only sat for one of the core courses.
Total Points for Affidavit: 1000
Total Points for Medallion: 1250
Community efforts require prior approval from Leadership Coordinator and must be documented by a member of the community.
For more information about Leadership MCC, contact Jay Parrent by phone at (270) 824-8571 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Capturing Oral HistoryPosted Friday, January 29, 2010, at 3:19 PM
Just a few weeks back I was driving into Cape Girardeau on Bloomfield Road and remembered an incident that my mother, (Pearl Watkins Corbin) told me, about her experience of coming to Cape when she was a young girl. It occurred to me that this is a bit of oral history that should be recorded for posterity. I will not be able to post any specific dates, but by using my mother's birth date of August 20, 1896 as a focal point, I will try to give approximate dates and details of this incident.
It would have been about 1904, when mother was 8 years old, that the Watkins family was living on the banks of the Cato Slough in south Bollinger County. It was late summer or early fall, and they had raised a bumper crop of sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, and Sorghum Molasses, more than they needed to carry them through the winter. They decided to take these items to the big city of Cape Girardeau, where they could sell them and buy some winter clothes.
In preparing for this trip, they greased the wheels of the farm wagon, piled in enough hay to feed the team of young mules, and make a soft bed for the potatoes, as well as a good bed to ride and sleep on. Yes, I said, "sleep on," because it was about 30 miles to Cape, and it would take them three days to make the round trip.
For the first six miles, the road they traveled was a meandering path along the timber-covered banks of Castor River to Brownwood; then this dusty, or muddy, dirt road followed the railroad about three miles to Advance, a town of about 225 people. They came into Advance on the sandy road of Vine St. and went through town on what is now Sturdivant St. Then, they traveled east along the railroad tracks to the area known as Lakeville. There, they turned north to Rum Branch on the "Bloomfield Road" and wound around the base of Hickory Ridge Hill. It was almost impossible to cross the boggy, and swampy Old Field area, even in a wagon. There may have been a few automobiles in Missouri at this time, but my mother said that they did not see a car on this 30-mile trip. They did not have to be concerned about crossing the Diversion Channel, because this was before Little River started draining "Swamp East Missouri."
Even though this Bloomfield Road meandered around swamps, over steep hills, and through timber-covered valleys, it was the main thoroughfare across Stoddard and Cape Girardeau Counties during the early days of the 20th century. On the first day of this journey, the Watkins family followed this Bloomfield Road to a spring about three miles west of Cape Girardeau. This spring is still visible today; however, it is now just an algae-covered pond. However, my mother said that when they there in 1904 it was a small stream of cool clear water, gushing from the timber-covered hill. Here they camped for the night; cooked their meals on an open fire, and slept in the wagon bed of hay.
I can't recall that my mother mentioned anything about their experience of going ahead into town, but I can imagine that they drove their team of mules right down town in Cape, parked their wagon on the south end of Main St., where they spent most of the day selling their potatoes and sorghum for a pocket full of money, maybe even more than $25.00, which they used to buy some shoes, overalls, dresses and long underwear. They may have even had a few dollars left, as they made it back to the spring on Bloomfield Road, where they spent a second night under the stars.
They spent the third day driving back home, where my mother no doubt boasted to her friends that she had been half way around the world.

This is the spring my mother remembers:
Unfortunately, there are plans to "improve" Bloomfield Road, so no telling if future generations will drink from it.

My Grandmother told me a similar story going from Dexter to Cape Girardeau by mule in 1915 or 1916. She also mentioned stopping at that exact same spring on Bloomfield road. She said the same thing about the clear cool water from that spring and how beautiful and delicious it was. I am so glad to have another independent story that relates the same experience even if it was another time about 10 years earlier than my grandmother traveled the same road. You might remember my Grandfather, Melvin Pixley. He was from Advance. He was born in about 1898. He moved away from Advance in the 1930's but had brothers in the area like Virgil Pixley in Delta and Willy Pixley.

Oh my Mr Corbin, what a wonderful story that happened so many years ago. Thanks for sharing, I wish everyone in Stoddard County could read this account. Three days you say, and we get concerned if we get behind a slow moving vehicle and costs us three minutes.

Thank you, sir, for the telling of this time, our legacies of tales of the long ago are made richer by your addition of family lore. Thanks again, Mr. Paul, regards, kkr

Paul Corbin is a 100-year-old historian, humorist, and amateur archaeologist from Advance, Mo. He grew up in the Greenbrier area west of Advance, where he attended Stepp School on the banks of Cato Slough and the Castor River, important waterways throughout his life. In an age when many area residents did not go to high school, the young Corbin made the decision to walk the five miles to Zalma, graduating in 1933. Throughout his life, he was an enterprising businessman, selling Watkins products from house to house throughout a large area - and later opening a variety store in Advance. He and his wife Geneva traveled throughout the United States, even following the route that the Lewis and Clark expedition traveled. His knowledge of Native American culture is extensive, and he has donated a sizeable collection of his artifacts to the Cape Girardeau Conservation Nature Center and the Bollinger County Museum of Natural History in Marble Hill. Throughout the years, he has submitted articles to TBY, the North Stoddard Countian, the Ozark Mountaineer, and several other Missouri publications. He has also written two books - "Reflections in Missouri Mud," and "Fragments of my Feeble Mind." The first one is out of print.

Topic: Showing Driver Name instead of ID
I am learning Rails. I have looked for a while and have two current challenges but I'm focusing on one here. It took me some time to to figure out the foreign ID and to make the form work. I originally thought I needed a nested model but clearly I only needed a foreign key (beginners confusion).
I have two models/tables:
Trip with fields (:driver_id and :begin)
Driver (:name)
These two tables are associated as follows (Feel free to tell me if I'm modeling this incorrectly):
Trip has_many :drivers
Drivers belongs_to :Trip
I am using simple form for _form.html.erb here:
<%= simple_form_for(@trip) do |f| %>
<%= f.error_notification %>
<%= f.input :begin %>
<%= f.association :drivers, :as => :check_boxes %>
<%= f.error :base %>
<%= f.button :submit %>
<% end %>
I want to show the driver name on the main index view in this file /views/trips/index.html.erb instead of the :id:
<% @trips.each do |trip| %>
<%= trip.driver_id %>
<%= trip.begin %>
<%= link_to 'Show', trip %>
<%= link_to 'Edit', edit_trip_path(trip) %>
<%= link_to 'Destroy', trip, method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' } %>
I would assume that instead of trip.driver_id I'd use drivers.name instead.
Secondary issues:
When I'm creating a trip, selecting the driver with a checkbox, it does not save/show the actual driver on the index.

Really? It almost always works given how critical those guys are.
Well, all they need is Ryan Ludwick and they should be fine.
Really stunned that Chisenhall and Kipnis haven't led this team back to the top.
All I know is August 1-7th they play 4 in Boston and 3 in Texas. If they go 2-5 I will be overjoyed beyond comprehension. I am also secretly hoping they go 0-3 this weekend against KC to eliminate all ignorant trade possibilities.

"The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem. "
Business Aviation Caterers
The recession has slightly thinned the ranks of caterers that exclusively serve business aviation customers. But that is not altogether a bad thing. Those that have survived–more than 150 worldwide–have become more efficient and learned to listen more carefully to their clients. And the cuisine is better than ever.
"Better than ever" certainly describes the meals that issue from newcomer Alison Price On Air, a subsidiary of London-based caterer-to-royalty Alison Price. Paula Kraft, owner of Tastefully Yours of Atlanta, offered a rueful shake of her head when asked about Alison Price. "They kicked the bar up another rung, or two or three," she said with a laugh.
These days, you can order just about anything you want for your airborne meals. Caterers report that "organic" "free-range," "grass-fed" and "local-sourced" are more ensconced than ever in the catering vernacular. And those who "want what they want and damn the cost" can still enjoy the freshest of produce and most expert preparation. As for those who are keeping an eye on budgets, many caterers now offer smaller portions at lower prices. Don't expect a half-portion at half-price, though, as salaries, benefits, packaging and overhead costs remain about the same as for larger helpings.
This list of business aviation caterers is by no means complete. If your favorite isn't here and you'd like to see it added to next year's directory, please drop us a line at

They say that the pen is mightier than the sword. Having been stabbed by a pen and poked by a knife, I have learned that taking the phrase literally is at your own risk. But, taken metaphorically, we can apply the wisdom imparted by these words to aviation.
In the early days of flying, a brief walk-around was followed by starting up the engine, adding some power, and away we go. That still happens to a lesser degree with aircraft like the Piper J-3 Cub, but for the most part we've gotten away from such a cavalier approach to making approaches.
Starting with the Boeing B-17, pilots have been conditioned to use a written checklist for nearly every phase of flight. And why not? If we make a grocery list, we don't have to worry about forgetting the one thing that sent us to the store in the first place. Using a checkbook register keeps our finances organized. I've used checklists that had only two items, but they were important items. Quickly done, too.
It's easy to get complacent in an aircraft with which you are intimately familiar. I have enough hours flying in a pre-GPS, pre-fancy-schmancy 172 that I could undoubtedly walk up to it, get in, start it up, fly it from A to B and back, shut it down, and walk away looking at the checklist. And I used to do that.
Until the day I got a phone call from the flight school informing me that I had left the master switch on and drained the battery.
We are supposed to use the checklists that the manufacturer gives us, but that doesn't mean we can't tweak them or add to them. Many do. As you fly bigger, faster, more advanced airplanes, there are more checklists. Quick Reference Handbooks (QRHs) are go-to books filled with all manner of checklists for nearly every conceivable scenario. Airlines and flight departments routinely add to them. Mine has included some supplemental information on various approaches (setting up the avionics), de-icing procedures, and other rarely used procedures.
The key here is the initials: QR—Quick Reference. It's just that. It's an easy-to-find, easy-to-use cheat sheet to make sure that an expensive airplane doesn't get damaged by doing something wrong, even if at first glance the pilot believes it is "obvious" what needs to be done.
There are other examples of the written word. Placards are a great example. You are being given free information, right in front of you! Jets and turboprops are loaded with placards. Use them!
Airline pilots typically fly 80 hours a month, and if they skip a checklist, they feel…uncomfortable. They know something isn't right. They will not feel OK until they know it has been done. So, they do it, even if they've done it thousands of times. If a pilot who makes a living flying more hours in a month than most pilots fly in a year is dedicated to the use of the written word to fly safely, shouldn't we all be the same way?
Even if you have "memorized" the checklist, you need to use it. In fact, when you memorize it, you need it more than ever, because your complacency will eventually catch up to you.
The written word is a powerful tool. Don't be afraid to use it.—Chip Wright

North Dakota delegation questions postal plan
The U.S. Postal Service's plan to halt Saturday mail delivery could come to its own halt if Congress puts the brake on the idea, according to the office of Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D.
Hoeven had previously supported bipartisan legislation in the Senate to require the Postal Service to maintain six-day delivery while working to explore other cost savings. The bill never advanced to become law, but Hoeven spokesman Don Canton said that the senator hopes to see similar legislation re-introduced and passed by both houses before August, when the Postal Service looks to end Saturday delivery.
Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., serves on the committee that oversees the Postal Service. She said she looks forward to questioning the postmaster general.
"A quality, reliable postal service is essential for North Dakotans. From seniors to small business owners, the United States Postal Service improves the quality of life for folks in our state," Heitkamp said. "The USPS does have serious problems with its finances that need to be addressed, but rural states should not be disproportionately affected by these decisions."
The North Dakota Newspaper Association has contacted the congressional delegation to voice its concern.
"It appears that this is going to take some congressional action," executive director Roger Bailey in Bismarck said. "We hope that they will stand behind the people of North Dakota."
Bailey said the state's daily newspapers and a number of weekly newspapers that publish on Fridays would be directly impacted, but a broader concern is the effect of a potential backlog of mail service due to the skipped delivery day. The backlog problem would come on top of delivery delays that some newspapers already are experiencing with the Postal Service, he said.

On Facebook this morning, one of my "friends" said the jury verdict in the trial of George Zimmerman "should be a lesson to all those thugs out there."
Stupid reactions like that are not uncommon, of course, among the right-wingers who are figuratively dancing on Trayvon Martin's grave in the wake of the acquittal of the man who shot and killed him.
Martin was not a thug. But neither, in a strict legal sense, is Zimmerman a murderer — or even a manslaughterer.
When the jury in the Zimmerman case began its deliberations the other day, I said HERE that ...

The Notre Dame football program is simply dripping in tradition and excellence. Trying to rank the top 50 best players in history to wear the Blue & Gold is one serious task.
Consider that the school has more national championships and All-Americans than any other program in the country. In addition, Notre Dame has taken home seven Heisman trophies.
In compiling this list it was necessary to provide some guidelines in order to rank each player properly because in reality, there are nearly 100 players who could make a case to be on this list.
Therefore, I believe individual statistics and awards to be paramount, but team success and winning are also key components as well. Also note that NFL and professional success is not part of the ranking formula.
Brace yourself for a list of some of the greatest football players in college history!
Here are the top 50 all-time Fighting Irish!

The new disc format for the Xbox 360 video game console, which will be supported by the next X360 system update, will boost capacity of discs for the Xbox 360 and will also include additional security features, two unofficial sources revealed on Wednesday.
At present dual-layer DVDs for Xbox 360 have 6.8GB capacity, while typical dual-layer DVD-Video discs have up to 7.95GB capacity. Over 1GB partition is reserved for DVD-Video, anti-piracy security sectors and so on. The new system update will allow usage of the "extra" gigabyte and will introduce new security features and even add "a new layer for protection issues", reports Eurogamer web-site.
"[Microsoft] will introduce XBG3 - this will add more AP checks, CVI (content integrity) checks, increase the disc size and adds a new layer for protection issues - all in the 20500 sdk! bring it on," said a hacker, who calls himself as Commodore4eva, at c4evaspeaks web-site.
Additional capacity will allow Microsoft to pack more content onto optical discs for the Xbox 360. In particular, games will be able to feature more rich graphics or longer gameplay.
Microsoft plans to implement a new "disc format" for Xbox 360 game console along with the next release of the system update for the system. At present the official details are scarce, but since the software giant is looking for "multiple thousands of participants" of the update preview program, the system software upgrade may be a major one.
"We are doing an Xbox 360 System Update Preview program for our next release, and the opportunity to sign up is now available. We are conducting an open call for U.S. based participants for a public preview to help us prepare for an updated Xbox 360 disc format. This is an important update as we continually strive to improve our products [...]. As part of the preview program, you will receive a copy of Halo: Reach along with other possible rewards," said Microsoft's Major Nelson in the official blog.
Microsoft did not comment on the news-story.

Wingerd wins Minnesota Book Award
Tuesday, April 17, 2012
Author and educator Mary Wingerd was honored April 14 by the Friends of the Saint Paul Public Library for her critically acclaimed history of early Minnesota.
This is Wingerd's second Minnesota Book Award for "North Country: The Making of Minnesota," which was published by the University of Minnesota Press in 2010.
"North Country" earned the St. Cloud State history professor a non-fiction Minnesota Book Award in 2011. This spring she was recognized with the Hognander Minnesota History Award, a new, biennial award funded by the Hognander Family Foundation. The award recognizes outstanding scholarly work in Minnesota history.
"North Country," which features 155 illustrations and 17 maps, offers a fresh take on the making of Minnesota. The book describes a racially and culturally hybridized society based on intermarriage, kinship and the fur trade.
Cooperation and reciprocity were key dynamics in the interpersonal and commercial relations among Ojibwe, Dakota, Europeans and Americans, according to Wingerd.

I love Paul and he's a genius. But, that scene of him doing the comedy sketch at the organ or piano speaking German was too much. The man is out of his mind (He does this whole skit in German of a guy trying to catch a bird and it's quite bizarre and very strange).
Then, they show him editing a cartoon. And you hear McCartney doing all the voices - himself!! All MAcca voices playing frogs, chickens, birds, etc. And it's all environmental oriented.
I think the World Tonight Video demonstrates that Paul is a creative genius because he never really let go of his childhood. He isn't afraid to (he must be great with kids).
The greatest scene is him in the woods with his stick , he's like building a fire or something and he's all alone in the woods and he just stops being "paul McCartney" and just becomes normal. It's amazing how he keeps himself sane.
The man is god! (But, the accents, the voices, and the comedy is too much).

Catfish Tacos with Cilantro Lime Slaw and Chipotle Cream Sauce
Recipe courtesy of Cory Anthony
- Chipotle Cream Sauce:
- 1 cup mayonnaise (recommended: Miracle Whip)
- 3/4 cup Creole mustard (recommended: Zatarains)
- 2 large chipotle peppers in adobo, seeded
- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from the canned chipotles
- 3 scallions, greens only, coarsely chopped
- 2 cups heavy cream
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Slaw:
- 1/2 head purple cabbage, sliced
- 1/2 head white cabbage, sliced
- 1 carrot, julienne
- 1 purple onion, coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro leaves
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 to 2 limes, juiced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Catfish Balls:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 purple onion, finely chopped
- 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
- Peanut oil, for frying
- 2 pounds catfish fillets
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
- 1/4 cup Creole mustard (recommended: Zatarains)
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack
- 2 cups panko bread crumbs, divided
- 15 fresh flour tortillas
- 1/2 pound Monterey Jack cheese, grated
- Catfish Tacos:
- Cook's Note: Make the chipotle cream sauce and the slaw first and refrigerate.
For the chipotle cream sauce: Put all the ingredients in a blender, except the heavy cream and salt and pepper. Blend well. Remove from the blender to a mixing bowl and slowly whisk in the heavy cream. All the cream may not be needed. The correct consistency, is like a crema. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Add more chipotle in adobo for more spice, if desired. Cover and refrigerate.
For the slaw: Add the cabbages to a mixing bowl. Toss with the carrot, onion, cilantro, olive oil and lime juice, to taste. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well, cover and refrigerate.
For the catfish balls: In a hot skillet, over medium heat, add the butter, onion, jalapeno, and garlic. As it is cooking, add a pinch of salt, cracked pepper, paprika and cumin. Saute until tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Heat enough peanut oil in a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 350 degrees F.
Remove any silver skin from the fillets. Pulse the catfish in the food processor until it is chopped, about 30 seconds. You don't want to puree the fish, just chop it into small chunks. Put the fish in a mixing bowl and add the cilantro, Creole mustard, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, mayonnaise and Jack cheese. Add the cooled onion mixture to the bowl along with another pinch of salt and pepper. Mix gently with a spoon, then gently mix in 1 cup of the panko bread crumbs. The consistency will still be wet, but still formable for the catfish balls. Put the remainder of the bread crumbs into a bowl. Scoop out the catfish mixture using a 2 tablespoon-size scoop and form into a ball shape. Don't make the catfish balls to be too big, they won't cook all the way through.
Roll the balls in the panko bread crumbs, and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Carefully drop them into the hot oil and fry in batches of 5 or 6 depending on your fryer. Do not crowd. Fry the balls for about 3 to 4 minutes. They are done when they are slightly more than golden brown. Remove from the oil and let cool on a paper towel lined sheet pan. Check the first batch to make sure they are cooked through. Repeat the process with the remaining fish mixture.
Remove the chipotle sauce and the slaw from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature to remove some of the chill. Heat the tortillas. Stack 7 or 8 tortillas and wrap in a damp kitchen or paper towel and microwave for about 15 seconds. Repeat with remaining tortillas. They can also be wrapped in foil and heated in the oven.
Add 2 or 3 catfish balls, depending on the size, to a tortilla, and slightly crush them. Some people tear them completely apart, it is up to you. Top with a little grated Jack cheese, chipotle cream sauce and slaw. Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings. Arrange on a serving platter and enjoy with a nice cerveza.
A viewer, who may not be a professional cook, provided this recipe. The Food Network Kitchens chefs cannot make representation as to the results.
