Top 50 Greatest NFL Players of All Time
By Jeric Griffin @JericGriffin
Top 50 Players in NFL History
It's tough to compare players at the same position from different eras and it's tough to compare players at different positions. So when you compare players from all positions and all eras, things are bound to get sticky. The NFL players rank each other every year, but only their peers who are currently playing. After much internal debate (and when I say "internal," I mean with myself), I've finally come up with a ranking for the top 50 players in NFL history. The list does include a few current players and those are the ones most likely to spark the greatest controversy. But then again, it could be the older players, depending on who's going through the list.
In either case, there are no legendary players left out of the top few, including linemen on both sides of the ball. In other words, this isn't just some thrown-together list with all position players who were popular but not necessarily great. On the same note, there are some who weren't that popular, but were exceptional on the field, so they're still on the list whether anyone likes them or not. If it weren't for the combination of good and bad players as well as those who are likable and those who aren't, lists like this wouldn't exist and we couldn't debate things like this.
But if you're into it, then this is the ultimate list for you. Please enjoy the top 50 greatest players in NFL history and let us know how you would re-rank them by commenting below when you're done!
50. Art Shell
Art Shell was one of the tough, gritty players known with the Raiders during their days in Los Angeles and then still after their move to Oakland. Shell joined the Raiders in 1968, two years before the AFL and NFL merger, and won two Super Bowls with the team as a player. Shell won a third Super Bowl with the Raiders as an assistant coach two years after retiring as a player.
49. Bruce Matthews
As one of the incredible talents of the 1983 NFL Draft class, Bruce Matthews is one of the most recognizable and popular players in the history of the Oilers/Titans franchise. In fact, he's the offensive line coach for the Titans today. Matthew played in more seasons (19) than any other lineman in NFL history and once held the record for most games played by any player. As one of the most durable players in NFL history, Matthews blocked for the likes of Earl Campbell and Warren Moon during his Hall of Fame career.
48. Kellen Winslow
Kellen Winslow Sr. was one of the first primary pass-catching tight ends in NFL history. Unlike tight ends before him, Winslow was often put in motion to avoid being jammed at the line of scrimmage and he was split out like a wide receiver often as well, something is now common among players at his position. Winslow is one of the most popular players in Chargers history, having played all 13 seasons of his Hall of Fame career in San Diego.
47. Rod Woodson
Rod Woodson was one of the first modern cornerbacks to play a Hall of Fame career and then switch to safety and continue to play at a high level. Woodson played most of his career with the Steelers and was a very popular player while embodying the Steelers' philosophy of hard-hitting, no-apologies football. Woodson appeared in Super Bowls with the Steelers, Ravens and Raiders, winning his only ring in Baltimore.
46. Gene Upshaw
Gene Upshaw spent his entire NFL career with the Raiders, providing superb blocking alongside Art Shell (No. 50 on this list). Upshaw played in three Super Bowls, winning two of them, and became the first player to reach the title game in three different decades (1967, 1976 and 1980). Perhaps Upshaw's finest accomplishment was his dominating performance over Hall of Fame defensive tackle Alan Page in a win over the Vikings in Super bowl XI, during which the Raiders rushed for 266 yards as Upshaw owned Page for the entirety of the contest.
45. Jim Otto
After going undrafted in 1960, Jim Otto signed with the Raiders in the AFL's inaugural season and played 15 seasons in Los Angeles. Otto played alongside Gene Upshaw (No. 46 on this list) and lost Super Bowl II, his only title game appearance. Otto went on to play in nine AFL All-Star games, three NFL Pro Bowls and induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
44. Randy White
Randy White was drafted No. 2 overall in 1975 and backed up Lee Roy Jordan for the Cowboys in his first two seasons before moving to defensive tackle, replacing Bob "Mr. Cowboy" Lilly (No. 22 on this list), who retired that year. White became known as the "Manster" (half man, half monster) because of his ferocious play and made the Pro Bowl, was named to the All-Pro team and was voted co-MVP of Super Bowl XII in his first season at defensive tackle. The rest of his Hall of Fame career is history.
43. Earl Campbell
One of the greatest running backs in NFL history, Earl Campbell was a power runner and developed his brutal running style from his days at the University of Texas. Other than a two-year stint in the twilight of his NFL career, Campbell played his entire football career in Texas, first at John Tyler High School, then UT and finally the Houston Oilers. Campbell ran for over 9,400 yards and 74 touchdowns in his Hall of Fame career.
42. Forrest Gregg
Forrest Gregg played 15 of his 16 NFL seasons with the Packers, with whom he won five NFL championships and two Super Bowls under Vince Lombardi in the 1960s. Gregg helped to protect Bart Starr in wins in the first two Super Bowls and played with the Packers until 1971, when he played one final season with the Cowboys, which resulted in another Super Bowl win. Gregg then coached for four NFL teams, including the Packers, two Canadian Football teams and at his alma mater, SMU.
41. Eric Dickerson
Eric Dickerson is one of the greatest running backs in NFL history, but is mostly known for his 2,105 yards in 1984, a single-season record that still stands today. Dickerson averaged 4.4 yards per carry in his career, which included sub-4.0 seasons with the Colts, Raiders and Flacons in the twilight of his career. Dickerson was tall and long for a running back, but his13,259 total yards and 90 touchdowns earned him a spot in the Hall of Fame.
40. Tom Brady
Tom Brady is just the second quarterback to win three Super Bowls in a four-year span. He's also became just the third to throw for over 5,000 yards in a season in 2011, which was four years after breaking the single season passing touchdown record with 50 in 2007. Brady is one of only three active players on this list.
39. Terry Bradshaw
Terry Bradshaw was the first quarterback to win four Super Bowls and the first to win back-to-back titles on two separate occasions. Bradshaw only had seven 300-yard games in his career, but two of them came in Super Bowls, so to say he was a clutch player is an understatement. Since retiring following a Hall of Fame career, Bradshaw has become a very popular analyst on FOX NFL Sunday.
38. Red Grange
Red Grange was a pioneer of the NFL and a patriarch of the modern game of football. He was technically a running back, but threw the ball, caught the ball and played defense as well. Through a partnership with George Halas, Red Grange earned almost 100 times what an average player did in 1925 before leaving to form his own league in 1926. The American Football League folded after just one season, but left the blueprint for the AFL to emerge again in 1960 before merging with the NFL in 1970. Grange caught the game-winning touchdown pass from Bronko Nagurski (No. 13 on this list) in the 1932 championship game and then made the game-winning tackle in the 1933 title game. Grange starred in two silent films and served as a Bears broadcaster after his playing days.
37. Roger Staubach
Roger Staubach chose duty before football, serving four years in the United States Navy after winning the Heisman Trophy as the Midshipmen's quarterback (he's the last player from a military academy to win the award). When he finally played for the Cowboys as a 27-year-old rookie in 1969, Staubach kept setting new standards as a scrambling quarterback and a comeback artist, earning him the nicknames "Roger the Dodger" and "Captain Comeback." Staubach led the Cowboys to their first two Super Bowl victories and was inducted into the Hall of Fame five years after retiring.
36. Tony Gonzalez
Although 2013 will be his last season, Tony Gonzalez is one of three active players on this list. He owns virtually every record in the books for a tight end, although Jason Witten is on pace to surpass most of his marks. Gonzalez won his first playoff game with the Falcons in 2012, but created his legacy with a slew of mediocre Chiefs teams in the 2000s. Gonzalez set a new standard for pass-receiving tight ends in skill set, consistency and durability and he's not done yet.
35. Mel Blount
Mel Blount joined the Steelers as a third-round pick at the perfect time. After developing into a starter, he won four Super Bowls in six years as one of the traditional tough, hard-hitting defensive backs in Pittsburgh history. Blount recorded 57 interceptions in his Hall of Fame career.
34. Alan Page
Alan Page played most of his NFL career with the Vikings, appearing in four Super Bowls and losing in all of them. In 1971, Page was named the NFL Defensive Player of the Year and became the first defensive player to win the MVP award in the same season. Page is an example to all professional athletes of how to be successful after sports; he attended the University of Minnesota Law School while playing for the Vikings and serves as an associate justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court today.
33. John Mackey
Until a knee injury forced him into early retirement John Macky was one of the most durable players in the NFL, having played all but one game in his entire 10-year career. Mackey was fast at 6'2" and 225 pounds and was a superb pass-catching tight end, especially during his era. He won two NFL championships and one Super Bowl with the Colts before retiring after one season with the Chargers.
32. Dan Marino
Dan Marino is considered by many the best quarterback never to win a Super Bowl. As a part of the historic 1983 NFL Draft class, Marino became the first quarterback to throw for over 5,000 yards in a season (broken in 2011) while also setting the single-season record for passing touchdowns with 48 (broken in 2004) in his second season. Marino was named the league's MVP that year and led the Dolphins to a 38-16 loss to the Joe Montana-led 49ers in the Super Bowl. Marino made seven of his nine Pro Bowls after that historic season and set a ton of NFL passing records, although most of which have since been broken.
31. OJ Simpson
Before all of his murder trial drama, OJ Simpson was a superb football player. He became the first NFL player to rush for over 2,000 yards in 1973 and is still the only player to rush for over 2,000 yards in a 14-game season. Simpson never played in a Super Bowl, but he was the Barry Sanders of his day in that he carried the Bills as a one-man show for the majority of his Hall of Fame career.
30. Lance Alworth
Although he could have played professional baseball for the Yankees or Pirates out of high school, Lance Alworth played college football at Arkansas before being drafted by the AFL's San Diego Chargers and the NFL's San Francisco 49ers in 1962. Alworth played nine years with the Chargers, earning seven AFL All-Star selections and winning an AFL title in 1963.
29. Jim Thorpe
What all-time great athletes list doesn't include Jim Thorpe? He grew up in Oklahoma of both Native Americans and European ancestry before winning two Olympic gold medals and playing professional football, basketball and baseball. Thorpe was named to the NFL 1920s All-Decade Team after playing 52 games with six different teams from 1920 to 1928. Had he focused solely on football, Thorpe likely would be considered the greatest player of all time.
28. Chuck Bednarik
Chuck Bednarik served four years in the U.S. Air Force before playing college ball at the University of Pennsylvania. He was then the No. 1 overall pick in the 1949 NFL Draft and played 14 seasons for the Eagles. Bendarik was named to eight Pro Bowls and won two NFL Championships in Philadelphia. Bednarik is known as one of the most ferocious and violent tacklers in NFL history, having knocked Frank Gifford out of football for over 18 months with one monstrous hit in 1960.
27. Deion Sanders
Deion "Prime Time" Sanders is arguably the greatest cornerback in the history of the game. His incredible speed and quickness made him one of the best cover men of all time and that, coupled with his incredible ability to return the ball, led to his NFL record 19 non-offensive touchdowns. Sanders returned nine of his 53 career interceptions for touchdowns and did so in style. His flashy ways make him hard to miss as an NFL analyst today and paved the way for that same sense of flamboyancy in today's generation.
26. Jim Parker
Jim Parker was a superb offensive guard at Ohio State, where he helped Woody Hayes establish the three-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust offense, but that was the opposite of the pass-happy Colts, who drafted Parker eight overall in the 1957 NFL Draft. However, Parker quickly became the premier pass blocker in the NFL as an offensive tackle, protecting Johnny Unitas. Parker moved back to guard in 1963 as a favor to Hayes to make room for fellow former Buckeye Bob Vogel as a tackle on the Colts' roster. Parker won back-to-back titles in Baltimore, including the 1958 NFL Championship game, which is considered by many to be the greatest game of all time in any sport.
25. Bruce Smith
The NFL's all-time leader in sacks is Bruce Smith, who recorded exactly 200 in his Hall of Fame career, which included four Super Bowl appearances with the Bills. Smith was named to the NFL 1980s and 1990s All-Decade Teams while playing in 279 games and forcing 46 fumbles. Naturally, Smith was inducted into the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.
24. Jack Lambert
Arguably the most feared defensive player of all time, Jack Lambert was the most ruthless and hard-hitting linebacker of the 1970s, earning him the title of "the premier linebacker of his era" by the Hall of Fame. Lambert helped the Steelers to four Super Bowl wins in his 11-year career and was a patriarch of the hard-hitting Pittsburgh defenses that are still common today.
23. Merlin Olsen
Merlin Olsen was drafted by the NFL's Rams and the AFL's Broncos in the 1962 NFL Draft, but chose to play for Los Angeles as the third overall pick. Olsen was named to 14 Pro Bowls and only missed two games in his 15-year career. As a member of the Fearsome Foursome, Olsen never played in a Super Bowl, but was named to the NFL's 75th Anniversary Team in 1994.
22. Bob Lilly
As the 13th overall pick in the 1961 NFL Draft, Bob "Mr. Cowboy" Lilly was a patriarch of the Cowboys' franchise and is a primary reason why Dallas is one of the most popular sports teams in the world today. He played in 11 Pro Bowls and helped the Cowboys to a win in Super Bowl VI, during which he recorded an NFL record 29-yard sack. Lilly the first player to be inducted into the Cowboys' Ring of Honor and he's also a member of the Hall of Fame.
21. Ray Lewis
Ray Lewis has retired or he would be one of only four active players on this list. Aside from his murder trial in the first part of the new millennium, Lewis has been a superb football player and an incredible leader for the Ravens' defense since the franchise's inception. Lewis is a huge reason why the Ravens have two Super Bowl titles and became the second player to record 30 interceptions and 30 sacks in a career.
20. Gale Sayers
In the long line of great Bears players running backs, Gale Sayers isn't the best, but he's arguably the greatest kick returner of all time -- his career average of 30.56 yards per kickoff return is the highest in NFL history. Sayers played only six seasons for the Bears after a pair of knee injuries forced him to retire.
19. Emmitt Smith
The NFL's all-time leading rusher played behind arguably the greatest offensive line in NFL history, but Emmitt Smith is still one of the greatest players to ever put on a helmet. He was the heart and soul of the Cowboys' 1990 dynasty and cemented his legacy in the 1993 NFL season, in which he held out and missed the first two games, but still led the league in rushing and won the regular-season and Super Bowl MVP awards. In the regular season finale, Smith rushed for 170 yards on 32 carries and caught 10 passes for 62 yards after with a dislocated shoulder in an overtime win over the Giants that gave Dallas the No. 1 seed in the playoffs. The Cowboys went on to win their second of three Super Bowls in four years.
18. Dick Butkus
Before Jack Lambert (No. 24 on this list) and the Steelers' dominating defense of the 1970s, there was Dick Butkus, dubbed "The Most Feared Man in the Game" by Sports Illustrated. Butkus was a superb all-around linebacker who was especially known for forcing and recovering fumbles. At the time of his retirement, his 27 career fumble recoveries were an NFL record and had the stat been kept at that time, he likely would still be the all-time leader in forced fumbles as well.
17. Anthony Munoz
Anthony Munoz is widely considered the greatest offensive lineman of all time. Despite an incredibly injury-plagued collegiate career, he was the third overall pick by the Bengals in the 1980 NFL Draft and missed only three games in his first 12 seasons in Cincinnati. Munoz caught seven passes for 18 yards and four touchdowns on tackle-eligible plays during his career, which is fitting for the greatest player at a position that doesn't get a lot of notoriety.
16. Ronnie Lott
No one in NFL history hit harder than Ronnie Lott, the top-ranked defensive back on this list. Lott was an instant start after being drafted No. 8 overall in the 1981 NFL Draft -- he recorded seven interceptions and returned three of those for touchdowns while helping the 49ers win the Super Bowl as a rookie. He switched from cornerback to safety in 1985 and was arguably more successful at that position after having the tip of his left pinky finger amputated. Lott helped the 49ers win four Super Bowls in the 1980s before a pair of two-year stints with the Raiders and Jets in the twilight of his career.
15. Deacon Jones
Deacon Jones was a 14th-round pick in the 1961 NFL Draft, but played his way into the Hall of Fame as a member of the Fearsome Foursome. Jones played in eight Pro Bowls and was named to the NFL's 75th Anniversary Team in 1994. Sacks were not kept as an official statistic in the 1960s; otherwise Jones would hold the record for the most sacks in a single season after he unofficially recorded 26 in 1967.
14. John Elway
As the No. 1 overall pick in the legendary 1983 NFL Draft, John Elway is easily one of the most legendary players in NFL history. He took two different eras of Broncos teams to a total of five Super Bowls, winning a pair of rings in his last two seasons. At the time of his retirement, Elway held the NFL record for most victories by a starting quarterback and he is fourth on the NFL's all-time passing list. Elway is most known for his helicopter dive in Super Bowl XXXII, during which he dove for a first down on third-and-six at the age of 37, only to be hit and spun in the air before hitting the turf hard. The Broncos took the lead two plays later and won their first Super Bowl.
13. Bronko Nagurski
Like many players of his day, Bronko Nagurski played only briefly in the NFL. He won two NFL Championships with the Bears in the 1930s and then a third when he returned to the team in 1943 after a five-year absence from football. During that time away from the NFL, Nagurski won multiple world heavyweight titles as a wrestler. Perhaps Nagurski's most memorable moment was a long scoring run he made at Wrigley Field during which he broke four tackles in Hulk-like fashion before crashing off the goalposts and into the brick wall. The New York Times reports Nagurski said "that last guy hit me awfully hard" following the incredible play.
12. Otto Graham
Otto Graham is considered to be the first modern passing quarterback. His 234 passing yards-per-game average in 1952 is believed to be the highest ever at that time. Graham was a super passer who led the Browns to four AAFC Championships and three NFL Championships from 1946 to 1955 after serving in the Navy in World War II out of college. Paul Brown noted Graham's ability to anticipate receivers' cuts on routes better than any other quarterback before him. But Graham's incredible running ability is the part of his game that often goes unnoticed; he had 99 rushing yards to go along with 298 through the air and four total touchdowns in the 1950 NFL title game, which was just one example of his many incredible single-game performances.
11. Brett Favre
It's quite the accomplishment to be the most legendary Packer of all time, but Brett Favre fits the bill. He took Green Bay to back-to-back Super Bowls, winning the first one, before setting virtually every career passing record in the book, both good and bad. Favre is most noted for his toughness and gunslinger playing style. He displayed one of the strongest arms in the history of the game and started a record 297 consecutive games. Favre had arguably the best season of his career with the Vikings in 2009, his 19th in the NFL. In 20 years as a starting quarterback, Favre won more games (186) than any other in history.
10. Joe Greene
"Mean Joe" Greene was arguably the best player in Pittsburgh during the Steelers' 1970s dynasty. He led them to four Super Bowl wins in six years while making memories for football fans everywhere, including spitting in the face of Dick Butkus and filming the infamous "Thanks, Mean Joe" Coca-Cola commercial. Green was so dominant as a 4-3 defensive tackle that he was never replaced; following his retirement, the Steelers switched to the 3-4 defense and have utilized it ever since.
9. Jim Brown
As the sixth overall pick in the 1956 NFL Draft, Jim Brown was one of the most dominant players to ever put on a helmet. He was a brutal runner, smashing into defenders like a linebacker hitting unsuspecting receivers on crossing routes, yet he had a grace that rivaled that of Eric Dickerson (No. 41 on this list). At the time of his retirement in 1965, Brown held the NFL records for rushing yards in a season, career rushing yards, career rushing touchdowns, total career touchdowns and career all-purpose yards. To this day, he's still the only player to average over 100 yards per game for his career.
8. Reggie White
Reggie White played his first professional season with the Memphis Snowboats of the USFL before joining the Eagles in the NFL in 1985 as a 1984 supplemental draft pick. He played eight years in Philadelphia before signing with Green Bay in 1993, where he played six seasons. White helped the Packers to two Super Bowls, including a victory in Super Bowl XXXI and retired with 198 sacks, the second-most in NFL history.
7. Johnny Unitas
Johnny Unitas was drafted by the Steelers in the ninth round, but never even took a snap in his home town of Pittsburgh. He sat out the 1955 season and worked in construction until he earned a spot on the Colts' roster, much to the dismay of the Browns, who hoped to sign Unitas as Otto Graham's (No. 12 on this list) replacement.
Although Graham is considered the first modern passing quarterback, Unitas took the term to a whole new level while introducing the two-minute offense to the NFL. In the regular season finale of his rookie year, he threw a touchdown pass that began a streak of 47 consecutive games with at least one scoring toss. Unitas led the Colts to two NFL Championships -- including a win in the 1958 title game, dubbed "the greatest game ever played" -- and a Super Bowl win in 1970. Unitas was the first NFL quarterback to throw for 40,000 yards in a career and the first to throw for 30 touchdown passes in a single season (1959).
6. Lawrence Taylor
Many legendary NFL defensive players are described as mean or feared (including many on this list), but Lawrence Taylor takes the cake. He won the NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award a record three times, including a league MVP award in 1986 before leading the Giants to two Super Bowl wins. Taylor changed the way NFL offenses blocked linebackers, prompting Joe Gibbs to create the two-tight end offense and Bill Walsh to begin using offensive linemen to pick up blitzing linebackers. John Madden once said Taylor made a bigger impact on the game of football than any other defensive player in history.
5. Peyton Manning
Peyton Manning is the highest-ranked of the three active players on this list. He's ranked in the top five of all major career passing categories and is on pace to break all of Brett Favre's milestones, despite missing all of the 2011 season. Manning is the most fundamentally sound quarterback to ever play the game and his study habits are unrivaled throughout history. Even more so, Manning's unique ability to play as a coach on the field is something that is rapidly becoming the standard among quarterbacks today. He's won the NFL MVP award a record four times and currently holds 40 NFL passing records.
4. Joe Montana
Although Peyton Manning (No. 5 on this list) is arguably the greatest quarterback of all time, Joe Montana was a better football player. In short, he won. The 49ers were a cellar dweller team before Montana came along and after he led them to four Super Bowl wins in the 1980s, the Niners are now one of the most storied franchises in the NFL. Unlike many of the other quarterbacks on this list, Montana doesn't hold a ton of regular season records, but he set virtually all postseason passing marks (although some have since been surpassed), including most touchdown passes, most passing yards and most 300-yard games. Finally, Montana won more Super Bowl MVP awards (three) than another player.
3. Walter Payton
No player ever displayed the grace that Walter Payton did. "Sweetness" once held the NFL records for most career rushing yards, carries, rushing touchdowns and all-purpose yards. Payton also held the record for most rushing yards in a game until it was broken in 2000.
Payton's efforts to heighten awareness for organ donation were only a part of his off-the-field heroics, which is why the NFL named its annual Man of the Year Award after Payton in 1999.
As the replacement to Gale Sayers (No. 20 on this list), Payton led the Bears to their only Super Bowl win in 1985. He won his only NFL MVP Award in 1977 and was named to the NFL 75th Anniversary Team in 1994.
2. Jerry Rice
They just don't make them much better than Jerry Rice. Until Calvin Johnson broke his single-season receiving yards record in 2012, Rice held literally every regular and postseason receiving record in the book. In addition, Rice holds the record for the most all-purpose yards (23,546), a number that will likely never be matched. Reaching a number like that was done through not only consistent play, but consistent dominance. No defensive back, including the great Deion Sanders (No. 27 on this list) was able to shut Rice down.
Rice was drafted by the 49ers in 1985 right after his breakout season at Mississippi Valley State and their first Super Bowl victory, so he came into the league a winner. He won three Super Bowls with the 49ers and appeared in another with the Raiders, playing with some excellent quarterbacks along the way. Rice was a legendary player who displayed greatness in every aspect of his game and is recognized by the NFL as the league's greatest player of all time.
1. Barry Sanders
The greatest running back of all time is also the greatest player of all time. Barry Sanders absolutely defied logic with his superb play on a subpar team for his short NFL career. Had he continued to play through his prime, Sanders easily would have set every rushing and all-purpose yardage record in the book, but those milestones were not important to him. In fact, he once left a game after being informed that he was about to break one of Walter Payton's (No. 3 on this list) records just so that he would not break it.
Sanders is a deeply religious man and displayed his faith as a player, which led to acts like the one described above. He tried to teach humility to his teammates while making would-be tacklers miss with incredible ease. That was more difficult than it appeared because of the subpar Lions teams for which Sanders played. Many believe he would be the all-time leading rusher even though he retired at age 30 if he had played behind the offensive line that opened holes for Emmitt Smith (No. 19 on this list). Still, Sanders holds the NFL records for most consecutive 100-yard rushing games and most 1,500-yard rushing seasons. He never played in a Super Bowl, but won the NFL MVP in 1997, the year before he retired. Despite all the great played made by Sanders, the most notable part of his career is the question: What if?

Obama renews offer to cut social safety nets in big budget deal: aide
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama raised anew the issue of cutting entitlements such as Medicare and Social Security as a way out of damaging budget cuts, a White House official said on Sunday, as both sides in Washington tried to limit a fiscal crisis that may soon hit millions of Americans.

Put in place during a bout of deficit-reduction fever in 2011, the automatic cuts can only be halted by a deal between Congress and the White House.
Fiscal talks fail, U.S. stumbles toward steep budget cuts
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. government stumbled headlong on Friday toward wide-ranging spending cuts that threaten to hinder the economic recovery, after President Barack Obama and congressional leaders failed to find an alternative budget plan.
The cuts, locked in during a bout of deficit-reduction fever in 2011, can only be halted by agreement between Congress and the White House.
U.S. stares down start of steep 'automatic' budget cuts
WASHINGTON, March 1 (Reuters) – The U.S. government hurtled
on Friday toward making deep spending cuts that threaten to
hinder the nation's economic recovery, after Republicans and
Democrats failed to agree on an alternative deficit-reduction
Locked in during a bout of deficit-reduction fever in 2011,
the time-released "automatic" cuts can only be halted by
agreement between Republican lawmakers and the White House.
U.S. spending ax set to fall, but then what?
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Devastating, unthinkable, shameful, brutal, disastrous. These are just a few of the adjectives used by lawmakers, officials and President Barack Obama to describe the across-the-board budget cuts likely to take effect on Friday, March 1.
The spending reductions are called "automatic," as if no one can stop them. But the same people who enacted them into law in August 2011 – lawmakers from both parties in Congress and Obama – could have ended them at any time and still can.
U.S. government won't fall apart on "sequester" day of reckoning
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Just as computers worldwide did not crash on January 1, 2000, in the "Y2K" scare and Earth itself did not shatter on December 21, 2012, as some interpreters of the Mayan calendar predicted, March 1, 2013, will not be remembered as the day the U.S. government disintegrated.
The Obama administration and even some Republicans are warning of mass government layoffs and services collapsing when "sequestration" begins in 10 days, unless a gridlocked U.S. Congress finds a way to circumvent the start of the $85 billion in federal budget cuts.
Analysis: Obama speech does little to prod Congress toward bold action
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The pomp and soaring rhetoric of President Barack Obama's State of the Union address roused his Capitol audience to standing ovations, but a day after, the U.S. Congress was no closer to achieving major accomplishments in 2013 than it was before Tuesday's speech.
In his annual address to a joint session of Congress – one designed to set the tone in Washington for the coming year – Obama offered plenty of big legislative goals: gun control, higher minimum wage, deficit reduction, immigration reform, climate change.

AECB History
AECB – the Sustainable Building Association was founded by Keith and Sally Hall as The Association of Environment Conscious Builders , with a quarterly newsletter sent to members.
The name was changed to The Association for Environment Conscious Building to reflect more accurately the diverse membership. Subscription rates were introduced and the first issue of the AECB's Products and Services Directory was published.
The first issue of 'Building for a Future' in magazine format was produced.
The Greener Building products and services directory, written by Keith Hall and Peter Warm, was published. It was launched by Professor Chris Baines.
The first Annual General Meeting, attended by 67 members, was held at the Earth Centre, in Birmingham. Professor Chris Baines became its President and the first Steering Committee was appointed, chaired by Peter Warm.
Andy Simmonds won the design competition for the AECB's first logo.
The AECB website was created by Keith Hall – www.aecb.net. The second AGM was held at the Bishopswood Centre, Worcestershire.
The AECB Charter was written and adopted at the AGM held at the Pit Hill Community Centre, Bradford. This event included workshops, talks and a social event. The AECB also contributed to the Greenpeace publication, 'Building the Future; a guide to building without PVC'.
The fourth AGM was held at the Centre for Alternative Technology, Machynlleth. The first AECB Year Book, Directory of Members was written and published. Unit One, Dyfi Eco Parc was the first recipient of SPEC (the AECB's Sustainable Projects Endorsement Certificate).
Keith and Sally Hall received the 1997 Schumacher Award for their work in establishing the Association and for "working to transform society in the Schumacher tradition".
The fifth AGM was at Construction Resources, London and it attracted a record attendance of 100 members. The AECB joined the body to advise on the greening of the Heathrow Terminal 5 building. The Members' Directory was re-named 'The Real Green Building Book'.
The AECB and RICS held a joint conference, 'Sustaining our Heritage – the way forward for energy efficient historic buildings', which was held in London. The sixth AGM took place at the Earth Balance Centre, Northumberland. The Association first registered its own domain name 'aecb.net'.
Membership exceeds 1000 for the first time. The seventh AGM was held at The Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, Slimbridge. Distribution of The Real Green Building Book topped 5000 copies. The association joined SETCO, later to become The Phone Co-op.
The AECB collaborated with BRE on its web-based project "Sustainability – getting the SME's questions answered". The Pestalozzi Children's Village trust near Hastings was the venue for the eighth AGM.
The preliminary work commenced to change the legal status of the AECB to a Company Limited by Guarantee, replacing the steering committee with a board of trustees. The ninth AGM was held at the National Botanic Garden, Wales. Peter Warm stood down as Chair. Mark Gorgolewski took over and for a period was joint Chair with Lucy Pedler before Mark moved abroad.
The tenth AGM was held at The Earth Centre, Doncaster. Andrew Simmonds was appointed Chair. It was agreed that the Green Building Press would publish Building for a Future independently under contract to the AECB. The first AECB training initiative was established.
The new website was launched. The AECB's training initiative was formalised and named SussEd – Sustainable Skills and Education. The eleventh AGM was held at The Weald and Downland Museum.
The AECB's first Executive Officer, Andy Simmonds, was appointed as a paid post and Chris Herring became Chair. The Association became a Company Limited by Guarantee and the steering committee members were appointed as directors. The twelfth AGM was held at SCAT (Somerset College of Arts and Technology) in Taunton, Somerset, where the Genesis Project was under construction.
Recent years: AECB the sustainable building association, 2006 – present
The AECB was officially transferred to the new not for profit limited company, AECB Ltd. The 2006 conference and AGM was held in the new Genesis Centre, Taunton, Somerset.
December 2006 saw the Government launch its target of 'zero carbon homes' by 2016. Shortly after this, during 2007, the AECB inaugurated its Carbonlite Programme – a crash course in energy efficient, low carbon design and building. The CLP was a key development for the AECB and was built on the expertise of members, and supported members in building truly low energy buildings. Its aim was to reach a wide audience (particularly within the design and construction industries) to offer advice for clients and developers, as well as for occupiers. The Carbon Trust and Esmee Fairbairn Foundation were its main funders. The CLP comprises energy standards, a description of principles and methodologies for calculating heat loss and emissions, a comprehensive training programme, a web-site with a forum and a database of buildings with measured energy results (www.carbonlite.net).
The AECB also became an active participant in the PASS-NET project, which worked in well with CLP. PASS-NET was a three-year European programme which aimed to promote low energy and low carbon buildings within Europe. This project continued to create valuable and productive relationships with international partner organisations in other European countries, all working to promote sustainable low energy buildings across Europe.
AECB regional groups were set up to provide the opportunity for members to meet and network with others. The website on-line forum allowed members to discuss key issues in sustainable construction and was well used by its members. The AECB's 'member's profile' feature also went live this year on the website, allowing members to enhance their listings with additional information and photographs.
The 2007 conference and AGM was held at the Rivergreen Centre, Durham.
This period saw the completion of the majority of the initial phase of the Carbonlite Programme. The outcome was a training programme and some key tools based on international best practice, particularly the German Passivhaus methodology.
The programme continued to gain momentum, resulting in increasing 'carbon literacy' within the industry, and importantly, it started to influence policy makers. Over 200 individuals attended CLP training courses, key documents were downloaded thousands of times, and Carbonlite had an undoubted influence on the form of the proposed new Building Regulations for 2010, 2013 and beyond.
The AECB launched the CLP at Ecobuild at a sell-out session, and ran 'ask the expert' stand at the Home Building and Renovating Shows. It also had stands at the Glastonbury Festival, Greener Homes and Buildings and several smaller regional events.
This period also witnessed an expansion of the regional groups network, enabling committed members to meet together regularly for informal information exchange, events and social activities.
A large amount of work this year went into the highly successful Carbonlite programme, helping to take the UK forward in truly effective measures to address carbon emissions from new and refurbished buildings. An increasing number of projects started using the Carbonlite guidance in their development and detail design stages.
The 2008 conference and AGM was held at the University of East Anglia and in November 2008 the AECB hosted the first ever public talk in the UK by Dr Wolfgang Feist, founder of the Passivhaus Institut in Germany.
Four well-attended Passivhaus Planning Package courses were organized and a visit to Belgium set up for 2009, partly supported through European funding as part of the PASS-NET project.
Preparatory work continued towards the establishment of an organisation that would promote the Passivhaus standard within the UK, as a wholly owned subsidiary company of the AECB.
The Board agreed to use the name 'AECB, the sustainable building association' for all promotional purposes.
The AECB Water Standards and the widely acclaimed Carbonlite Passivhaus / Gold Detailed Design Guidance were published. The very popular Belgium visit organised under PASS-NET took place in May, enabling delegates to see a number of Passivhaus buildings in action, first hand.
2009's conference and agm was the most successful to date. Working closely with Oxford Brooks University, there was an excellent range of workshops and Dr Wolfgang Feist gave a series of seminars on Passivhaus . He also led a valuable discussion and exchange of ideas afterwards. He was filmed in conversation with Peter Warm (the AECB's first Chair) – probably the first time that film of Dr Feist has been available on U-tube, certainly in English. (see the videos ). The event was sold out and the feedback was very positive.
The AECB provided technical support to the Technology Strategy Board's Retrofit for the Future competition. The competition awarded £150,000 to each winning scheme to carry out a low-energy refurbishment project. The AECB worked with the TSB on upgrading the AECB buildings' database in order that design and monitoring data from all the winning projects could be uploaded. The AECB assisted with the definition of the 80% CO2 reduction target, and advised on how competition participants should model their schemes to establish least cost options on a common basis.
Preparatory work continued towards the establishment of an organisation that would promote the Passivhaus standard within the UK, as a wholly owned subsidiary company of the AECB.
2009 closed with a packed one-day conference on Passivhaus Schools in London, supported by PASS-NET.
In 2010, AECB established the Passivhaus Trust, a not-for-profit initiative with the key aim of promoting the reduction of energy use and carbon emissions from new and refurbished buildings. The Trust (www.passivhaustrust.org.uk) was set up to provide leadership in the UK for the adoption of the Passivhaus standard and methodology. The Trust has its own board and staff team, but will retain close working links with AECB and with other key organisations.
New courses continued to be developed and run under the CarbonLite programme by the AECB's delivery partner, Warm, including a new module on 'Delivering Airtight Buildings'.
The Low Energy Buildings Database was re-launched with additional graphical displays and search functions, and the first design data from Retrofit for the Future (RfF) projects began to be loaded alongside project data form AECB members' new build and refurbishment projects.
As part of the AECB's involvement with RfF, four short films of low-energy retrofits were produced, and published on www.aecb.net.
More new AECB local groups were formed, including two in Scotland.
The AECB celebrated its 21st birthday at the 2010 annual members' conference (another sell out), held in October in the stunning new Welsh Institute for Sustainable Education at CAT, with AECB founders Keith and Sally Hall as guests of honour.
The 2011 Conference was held in September and was branded Moving In and Moving On. This was chosen to coincide with the completion of many of the Retrofit for the Future projects funded by the Technology Strategy Board and looked at aspects of renovation and retrofit. Also addressed were issues such as community involvement, materials and usability.
During 2011,the key involvement of AECB with the Technology Strategy Board in the Retrofit for the Future Programme demonstrated just how respected AECB is for its core expertise in this field. Involvement continues through the on-going work on the low energy database, established through the RFF programme, which is playing an important role, recognised by BRE, EST and the National Refurbishment Centre. The AECB also published Less is More key strategy paper, which was previewed at the conference.
The Technology Strategy Board agreed to fund further development of the AECB database to enhance its functionality, searchability and ability to share lessons learnt from the 87 Retrofit for the Future projects, and a further 33 low energy projects.
During July, we were pleased to welcome Gill Rivers as Business Operations Manager and Debbie Mauger was also appointed as Local Groups Co-ordinator.
2011 also saw the official launch of our AECB news platform on our website which allows us to share news items and events including local group news/events, member news and AECB articles. This also coincided with the introduction of our own Facebook Page.
The new news platform also allowed us to introduce an exciting new concept – Soapbox. This allows our members to make a short and concise case for something they are passionate about and to share their expertise with fellow members and the wider AECB audience.
In December, the AECB won a water industry award at SWIG (The Sustainable Water Industry Group). The standard is used by designers in both domestic and non-domestic buildings, to optimise the efficient and effective use of water and energy.
The AECB gave presentations and offered advice in the Ask the Experts area at both the Homebuilding and Renovating Show and Grand Designs Live which demonstrated that there is a huge demand for independent advice on a range of green building issues.
The 2012 Annual Members' Conference was held in June at the new Academic Buiding of Goldsmith's College, London and was branded "Never Mind the Greenwash". The two day Conference coincided with a visit to the UK by Wolfgang Feist from the German Passivhaus Institute and a joint event was held on the Saturday with the Passivhaus Trust for members of the public. The conference also featured an evening debate under the heading 'Sustainability is more than just Energy'. This packed session began with contributions from a panel, with AECB's Chief Executive, Andy Simmonds and long-standing AECB members Neil May of Natural Building Products and Pat Borer from the Centre for Alternative Technology.
In 2012 a Herefordshire based property development company, were very proud to have been awarded the Silver Certification from the AECB, the first development in the UK to receive this. The building is designed to offer its occupants a 75-80% reduction in heating bills compared to standard homes. AECB Silver Certification is a self-certification scheme open to building projects that meet the AECB Silver Standard design and performance criteria. The AECB self certification route has been developed whereby the self certifier (typically the building's energy consultant) takes responsibility for certification and for underwriting the Silver Standard claim.
During 2012 the AECB entered into a new contract with the Passivhaus Institute to sell the 2012 Passive House Planning Package software (PHPP). PHPP is a design tool for use by building architects and designers. Based on dynamic thermal simulations validated by data gathered from hundreds of low-energy buildings, PHPP is the software to use to calculate energy use and CO₂ emissions. PHPP's level of sophistication enables it to take into account a wide range of variable characteristics which affect heat loss and subsequent energy use, allowing for a superior fit between predicted energy use and real-world performance. Suitable for both residential and many non-residential applications, PHPP is supported by the AECB CLP courses (run by Warm Associates) to help you members get the most from this software.
In 2013 the AECB started development of a CarbonLite Retrofit (CLR) programme that would be both independent and complementary to the Green Deal. CLR, a web based educational course, intends to explain and illustrate, in plain English, applied building physics relating to heat and moisture, in a retrofit context. As part of the development work a broad literature review was undertaken to assess the current level of understanding of both the building physics and real and potential risks associated with various retrofit solutions. The anticipated launch of the web based educational course would be summer 2015.
In February 2013 AECB were proud to launch the redeveloped website which has undergone extensive work to create a modern, fresh, user friendly site for both members and non members. The website was further updated in July 2013 with the launch of the new AECB logo and identity which was rolled out on all stationery, literature and marketing material.
The 2013 AECB Conference was held at the Norcroft Centre, University of Bradford with the theme "healthy buildings & sustainable water". The Conference focused on what it is like living and working in well designed and healthy sustainable buildings, as well as designing and building them, and also thinking about water – the theme of 2012's weather! Lothar Moll, who described himself as a construction ecologist, was one of the guest speakers at the Conference. Lothar became a pioneer of the biological and ecological movement in Germany, establishing the first ecological Builders Merchant, and the first information resource about biological and ecological building methods.
2014 marked the 25th Anniversary of the AECB and once again a merry band of professionals, self builders and other members gathered for its Conference. The event was held at the University of Bristol's Wills Hall Campus on 11th and 12th July. Once again the AECB conference team worked their magic to create the foundations for a hugely successful event. The main themes for the event were retrofit including the launch of the AECB's CarbonLite Retrofit programme (with the pilot phase to commence shortly) and timber. As well as the usual range of activities a coach trip to the Ashley Vale self-build scheme was also included, the majority of the homes having been constructed from timber frame.
At the 2014 AGM we saw stalwarts Neill Lewis (the AECB's longest serving Committee member then Trustee) and Nick Grant both step down. This left some rather large shoes to be filled – Phil Newbold and Mark Siddall volunteered and were duly elected.

LINGUIST List 23.1049
Thu Mar 01 2012
Calling All Linguistic Limericists!
Editor for this issue: Anna Belew <anna
LINGUIST List <linguist
There Once Was a Man from Nantucket...
E-mail this message to a friend
Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,
You're a clever bunch of folks; in many cases, you're probably actual geniuses.
You're good with words. You have impeccable taste in the arts, and a fine
sense of meter and rhyme. You can be very, very funny. Why not deploy these
admirable traits in the name of supporting LINGUIST List?
That's right: we're putting out the first call for limericks, a time-honored
Fund Drive tradition that has yielded some truly virtuosic works in the past.
Put on your poetry caps, flex your wit muscles, and prepare to compete against
your fellow linguists in the 2012 Limerick Competition. Here's how it works:
-Submit your limericks to anna
linguistlist.org! They can be on any
linguistics-related topic, but so much the better if they have something to do
with LINGUIST List or Fund Drive.
-Every Friday, we'll post that week's limerick submissions on the Fund Drive
site. Visitors will be able to vote for their favorite limericks over the
course of the week.
-Every Friday, we'll also announce the winner of the previous week's batch of
limericks. The winners of each week will go on to the FINAL ROUND towards the
end of Fund Drive.
-We'll be awarding prizes to each week's winners, plus a big prize to the
overall winner of the Final Round! And let's not forget the pride you'll feel
at having your limerick marked "WINNER" in big red text, in full view of
thousands of linguists worldwide.
Get your creative juices flowing, and start penning those limericks! We'll be
accepting submissions for Round 1 until Thursday, March 8, at noon (EST). For
inspiration, here's a classic limerick from a previous Fund Drive by Michael
There are quite a few linguists whose fate
was improved by LL's up-to-date
job announcements and postings
yet site maintenance and hosting
need commitment and money - donate!
View more classic limericks, and instructions on how to submit your own, at
the Bard's Corner:
Good luck, poets!

One dimension is obvious: we can classify the candidates from left to right, from relatively more moderate to relatively more conservative. But another dimension that is often salient in the primaries, and perhaps especially so for Republicans next year, is what we might think of as the insider/outsider axis: whether the candidate is viewed as part of the Republican establishment, or as a critic of it...The source link continues with a more detailed analysis of the various candidates.
There are two more kinds of information embedded in the chart. First, the area of each candidate's circle is proportional to their perceived likelihood of winning the nomination, according to the Intrade betting market...
Finally, the color of each circle reflects the region the candidate is from: blue for the Northeast, red for the South, green for the Midwest, and yellow for the West.

Republican presidential hopefuls
Things will change in the coming year, but for now this is a convenient plot of the current Republican presidential hopefuls, created by Nate Silver at the New York Times.

If you would take 15 seconds to read the link...
"I have excluded candidates like Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey or Jeb Bush of Florida who have strongly denied any interest in running in 2012, even though some of them trade at nonzero values on Intrade."
That's why I put in links. They're not just decorations.

Ghost B.C.
Friday April 26
Doors: 8:00 pm / Show: 9:00 pm
Wonder Ballroom$18.00 - $20.00
This event is all ages
http://www.wonderballroom.com/event/217791/Ghost B.C.
Standing motionless and anonymous beneath the painted faces, hoods and robes which their sect demand, the six nameless ghouls of Ghost deliver litanies of sexually pulsating heavy rock music and romantic lyrics, which glorify and glamorise the disgusting and sacrilegious, with the simple intention to communicate a message of pure evil via the most effective device they can find: Entertainment. This is Black Metal at it's most original and deceiving; compositions such as "Ritual" and "Death Knell" majestically weave their melodic spell of evil through the senses until the listener finds themselves utterly possessed and open to any diabolical suggestion.

Shadowrun is a cyberpunk-fantasy action role-playing video game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), adapted from the tabletop role-playing game Shadowrun by FASA. The video game was developed by Australian company Beam Software and first released in 1993 by Data East.
The game is loosely based on the novel Never Deal with a Dragon by Shadowrun co-creator Robert N. Charrette and set in the year 2050. The player takes on the role of Jake Armitage, a man suffering from amnesia after having been critically wounded by assassins. The plot then follows Jake as he attempts to uncover his own identity and the identity of the mysterious figure who wants him dead, and eventually complete his mission. Harebrained Schemes' 2013 Shadowrun Returns links the stories of this game and of Shadowrun for the Sega Genesis.
A project to adapt Shadowrun for the SNES had a turbulent history between 1989 and 1993, including having been halted in mid-development before being resumed in late 1992 under a tight deadline. Its eventual lead designer was Paul Kidd, creator of Beam Software's 1991 Nightshade, elements and a feel of which he then carried on to Shadowrun. The game was a critical success, winning a number of industry awards, but was a commercial failure nevertheless. It was retrospectively acclaimed by several publications as an "ahead of its time" milestone in the history of the role-playing genre for the consoles and credited for having pioneered film noir style in video games.
Shadowrun is an action role-playing game (RPG) that combines the statistical factor of the original tabletop game with real-time gameplay. The player is given direct control over the protagonist Jake and moves him around using the directional pad within the game's isometrically displayed world. A cursor system allows the player to scroll a pointer across the screen and perform various actions that include opening doors and passageways, examining and picking up objects, engaging in conversation with non-player characters (NPCs), and utilizing firearms and magic commands while in combat.
In interacting with other characters, Shadowrun allows the player to gain information using a bank of terms. Whenever Jake hears a new and unusual term, this word is highlighted and is then added to the bank that he can use; from that point on, when speaking with NPCs, Jake is able to ask them about this new word; only in this manner can a player progress with the game. As the title of the game implies, Jake is described as a "shadowrunner," a mercenary type of character common within the Shadowrun world. The player is given the option to hire other shadowrunners as henchmen with "nuyen", the game's currency that can also be used to purchase guns and certain key items scattered throughout various locations.
Combat within Shadowrun often require sharp reflexes, as practically every screen contains hidden assassins who, from random locations, open fire on Jake; the player may retreat or must otherwise immediately find the source of the attack and respond. Enemies typically drop nuyen, while at the same time, Jake builds up "karma". If the player retires to a bed to restore health and save one's progress, karma can be allocated into different attributes, skills, and magical powers.
At certain points in the game, Shadowrun allows the player to enter cyberspace. Using an item called a "cyberdeck", Jake is able to hack into computers to retrieve information, as well as gain more nuyen. During such scenes, the gameplay switches to a top-down perspective while an icon of Jake moves through cyberspace, fights intrusion programs, and retrieves data. If Jake dies in cyberspace, he dies in the outside world as well.
Shadowrun is an adaptation of the FASA tabletop role-playing game of the same name. The storyline of the video game is loosely based on the first Shadowrun novel, Never Deal with a Dragon, written by Robert N. Charrette.[4] The narrative opens in Seattle, Washington in the year 2050, where the protagonist Jake Armitage is shown being gunned down in the street. A shapeshifting lupine figure rushes to his side and is seen casting a spell over Jake before leaving hastily as the medics arrive on the scene. Jake awakens in a morgue with a complete memory loss. Soon, he is approached by the "Dog", a shamanistic totem who gives him a warning before vanishing.
The rest of the story is spent investigating the events leading to Jake's shooting, learning the identity of the shapeshifter who saved him, as well the person who ordered his assassination, a mysterious crime lord named "Drake". Most of the information is found by piecing together snippets of data found by hacking various protected computer systems. Along the way, he has encounters with gangs, criminals, and magically awakened creatures while under constant threat of attack from contract killers. Jake also discovers and develops his own latent magical abilities. Apart from his totem spirit, his only allies are the hired services of shadowrunners. It is eventually revealed that Jake is a data courier who was carrying a program in a computer built inside his brain. The program was designed to destroy a malevolent artificial intelligence, which the Aneki Corporation is trying to protect. The company is being aided by Drake, who turns out to be a dragon and the mastermind behind the plot.
The work to develop an adaptation of Shadowrun for the SNES by the Australian developer Beam Software began when Adam Lanceman, part of the company's management team, acquired the license for FASA's 1989 tabletop RPG.[5] The project was initially headed by Gregg Barnett until he abruptly left Beam midway through the game's development to start Perfect Entertainment in the United Kingdom.[4] The game's production was halted by Beam, but eventually resumed before its set deadline.[5]
Having been hired by Beam's parent company Melbourne House, fantasy and sci-fi writer Paul Kidd quickly took Barnett's place as lead designer.[4][5] According to Kidd, the given timeframe for finishing Shadowrun for publisher Data East was very short, forcing the team to complete production in a tumultuous five and a half to six months.[4][6] An avid role-player, Kidd was already familiar with the Shadowrun license, but had to utilize the storyline that his predecessor had already gotten approved.[5] Aspects of Beam's earlier action-adventure game Nightshade, of which Kidd was the writer, director and lead designer, were used as a basis for Shadowrun; specific film noir components such as "dark cityscapes, dialogue-heavy exchanges, and touches of humor" were adapted directly from the former to the latter.[6] To coincide with the last of these qualities, Kidd and programmer Jeff Kamenek altered the original "serious" tone of Shadowrun by replacing portions of the script and artwork with more comedic elements. According to Kidd, "we made improvements and changes, but the basic concepts were pretty much the same [as in Nightshade]."[6]
The ROM image of the first version of Shadowrun contains a much more crude script, with more sexual suggestive and violent phrases. For example, one line is changed from "morgue guys" to "chop shop guys."[7][8] The game's distributor favored the less serious version for retail release, sparking indignation and conflict among Kidd and other members of Beam's staff.[4][5][6] Kidd recalled: "Beam Software was a madhouse, a cesspit of bad karma and evil vibes. The war was reaching shooting level; old school creators who just wanted to make good games were being crushed down by a wave of managerial bull. It was no longer a 'creative partnership' in any way; it was 'us' and 'them'. People were feeling creatively and emotionally divorced from their projects."[4] Shadowrun was ultimately completed by its deadline. Kidd credits this to the staffers abstaining from company meetings and workshops, and continually keeping management away from the designers.[4]
Shadowrun was released in North America and Japan by Data East. In PAL regions, it was self-published by Beam Software as Laser Beam Entertainment. The 1994 Japanese version has a significantly longer introduction sequence than the English version of the game and also has a vertically uncompressed Shadowrun logo on the title screen. Other than that, it uses the same script as the North American and PAL editions, just with Japanese subtitles.[7]
Reception | ||||||||||||||
The game was met with a positive critical reception and good reviews.[4][5][6] Shadowrun was given a number of awards from various publications, including the title of the Best RPG of the Year by VideoGames, Electronic Games and Game Informer, and was a runner-up for it in GamePro.[4] The game was given the second place Nintendo Power Award in the category "Most Innovative (Super NES)" (it was also nominated in the category "For Challenge"[13]), Nintendo Power describing it as "one of the best sci-fi games ever".[14] However, the game sold poorly, partly because of low shipping numbers.[5]
Shadowrun has been positively recounted in many restrospective lists and articles. It was listed it as the 34th best SNES game by Super Play in 1996,[15] as well as the 48th best game on any Nintendo platform by Nintendo Power in 1997.[16] Ranking it as the 77th top SNES game in 2011, IGN commented that while Shadowrun "didn't quite get away from all the common RPG stereotypes" it was still "a milestone for the introduction of film noir style into the gaming industry, though, so we can forgive the game for only being 90% groundbreaking."[17] The game was also cited as an important milestone in the use of film noir style in video games by Game Informer, according to which "Shadowrun 's moody music and dark streets set the somber tone for this RPG's prying conversations and self-reflective narrative."[18] Game Informer also ranked Shadowrun as 125th place on their list of best video games of all time in 2009.[19] IGN Australia listed Shadowrun among their favourite Australian video games in 2010, writing it was "without question, one of the best underexposed classics of the SNES era" because it presented players with "a mature narrative, strong characters and a dystopian backdrop" blended with traditional RPG elements in an "irresistible" way.[20] That same year, 1UP.com included Shadowrun on their list of 15 games "ahead of their time" for its use of a keyword dialogue system, common to PC games but foreign to console games of the time.[21]
In 2002, GameSpot included it on the list of video games that should be remade and compared this "groundbreaking RPG" that was "truly ahead of its time" to more recent Planescape: Torment.[22] A remake of the game was also requested by Sam Bandah of X360, who called it a "rather excellent", "little-known classic" and "a cyberpunk RPG classic begging to return", and stated: "Shadowrun would be a perfect game to remake as a Mass Effect-style RPG – perhaps with the conversation system of the sadly much-maligned Alpha Protocol."[23] In 2012, GamesRadar ranked this "one incredibly unique, noir-style story" as the third top "cult-classic franchise" that should be rebooted similar to how X-COM was.[24]
Two co-licensed role-playing video games of the same name were released around the same time by different developers and publishers: the 1994 North America-exclusive Sega Genesis title by BlueSky Software and Sega, and the 1995 Japan-exclusive Sega Mega-CD title by Group SNE and Compile.[25] The storyline and gameplay of the SNES Shadowrun are completely different from these two games. In 2007, FASA Studio and Microsoft Studios released a multiplayer first-person shooter adaptation of the franchise for the Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows.[26]
In 2012, Harebrained Schemes announced that it would be producing a new Shadowrun role-playing video game, Shadowrun Returns, to be funded through Kickstarter. As a result of the Kickstarter appeal reaching a 1.5 million dollar target, Shadowrun 's original creator and FASA Corporation's founder Jordan Weisman announced that the game would now feature an additional storyline tying in the new game with both the SNES game and the Sega Genesis game. This extra content was initially made available only to backers, becoming generally available some time after release.[27] The protagonist of the SNES game, Jake Armitage, is featured in Shadowrun Returns as both part of the game's main plotline and as an NPC that the player can hire to accompany them on various missions.[28]

Society Mission & History
Our Mission
The mission of the Society is to support individuals in pursuing their family history research by:
maintaining a genealogical library
providing instruction and promoting scholarly research and writing
collecting, preserving, and disseminating genealogical and related information
Society History
Genealogical Society
of Palm Beach County was organized on May 6, 1964 by a group of people interested in tracing their ancestors. Monthly meetings were held in various locations, genealogical procedures were taught, and books and other materials were shared by members. The Society incorporated in 1966 as Palm Beach County Genealogical Society. Our quarterly journal,
, began production for the information of members and to exchange with other genealogical societies around the country. Donations of books had increased to the point of requiring library space. The West Palm Beach City Library took us in. This was to be our home for the next forty years, at first in one small upstairs room, and then downstairs into two rooms. Bruce M. Lewis of Lewis Publishing Company, West Palm Beach, retired and gave his whole collection of genealogical and historical volumes to the society, along with shelving and file cabinets from his office. A sizeable contribution of books on Boston and New York was made by Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. Many individuals made book donations in honor of friends or as memorials. By this time, our library had over 8,000 volumes, plus magazines, maps and other materials. It had become the largest and most complete genealogical research library in South Florida. The non-circulating collection continued to grow and keep up with the times, moving from microfiche readers to computers.
When the City of West Palm Beach announced the building of a new library, the plans did not include us. We had to find a new home. We contacted the Palm Beach County Public Library System and reached an agreement to rent space for our collection and for our society activities. we are located in the main library on Summit Boulevard, in West Palm Beach, where we have had a large modern facility since February 1, 2008. Our collection now includes over 13,000 books, digital resources, and a large periodical collection. We have upgraded all our computers and now offer WiFi, Ancestry Library Edition, and several online databases.
The Genealogical Society of Palm Beach County is an all volunteer nonprofit educational organization. We are completely supported by dues, donations and a trust fund. We receive no government funding. Our programs and seminars provide an opportunity to network with others.

This is a really unique portfolio site. I love that the designer took a grainy photo and just went with that aesthetic.
The typography is brilliant and the page looks outstanding. A really awesome spin on minimalist design!
