“The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.” —Psalm 118:22

“Take what belongs to you and go; I choose to give to this last the same as I give to you. Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or are you so envious because I am generous? So the last will be first, and the first will be last.” –Matthew 20:14-16

Carlyle Holiday’s first impression on his fan base was a good one–and served as a sign of what would lie ahead.

A classmate’s parent approached Holiday–then in middle school–and his father Glendale, and asked the younger Holiday for an autograph. Holiday cordially obliged as his proud father looked on.

“She said `you are so respectful and so disciplined, I want to get your autograph because later on in life I know you are going to be something,'” remembered Glendale Holiday.

With each class, practice, and game, this woman’s remarkably clairvoyant prediction comes to life. His father and family still by his side as a fifth-year senior, Holiday has provided the most valuable of Notre Dame stories–one that extols the lessons of perseverance and pride and features faith, family, and community; one that certainly does not begin with a quarterback controversy that started a career nor a quarterback controversy that seemed at first to end it.

“People learned that I am an unselfish guy and I would probably do whatever I can to help this team win,” says Holiday. “Regardless of what you may think I may do, you cannot judge a book by its cover. I am able to adapt to certain situations that people probably thought I would not be able to adapt to.”

Holiday has done just that. As the son of Glendale and Mary, Carlyle would simply have no other choice than to overcome those challenges presented before him and succeed.

Arnaz Battle returned to the 49ers’ practice field Monday, blaming the hubbub that surrounded his one-week absence on his “lack of communication.”

“It was something that happened. Nobody is going to have a perfect career where the communication is there all the time and everything is perfect,” Battle said. “Everybody is OK. There’s no negativity between me and the coaching staff.”

The team’s leading receiver a year ago, Battle mystified Coach Mike Nolan last week by failing to show up at the first week of organized team activities. The sessions are voluntary, but Battle failed to notify the 49ers that he would be remaining at his Dallas home to take care of what he described as a personal situation.

His absence raised the question of whether Battle was protesting the diminished role he is likely to inherit after the off-season acquisitions of receivers Bryant Johnson and Isaac Bruce.

Battle brushed off that theory Monday on a conference call organized by the 49ers. He said the team has consistently tried to upgrade the receiving corps, and not once has he taken it personally.

“If you look at the history since I’ve been here, every year they brought someone in to take a role in this offense as a receiver,” said Battle, a sixth-round draft pick in 2003. “I don’t look at it as any different than the past.”

Still, his decision to train at his Dallas home rather than with the rest of the team was curious.

For one, Battle is jockeying for playing time with Johnson and Bruce as well as Ashley Lelie and others. For another, new offensive coordinator Mike Martz is installing a system so complex that some players have said learning it is like taking a college course.

“I played quarterback. I feel like I have the intelligence to come in and learn the system (quickly),” Battle said, referring to his days at Notre Dame.

Who: Emmy-winning actor, musician, and producer Desi Arnaz, who passed away at the age of 69 in 1986, and Emmy-winning actress, producer, and comedy icon Lucille Ball, who passed away at the age of 77 in 1989.

How They Met: According to her autobiography, Love, Lucy, Ball visited New York in December of 1939 and, at the suggestion of the RKO studio head, went to see Too Many Girls on Broadway. Ball was told she was being considered for a role in the upcoming screen adaptation of the musical.

The show was a hit due in part to its breakout star: Desi Arnaz. "I recognized the kind of electrifying charm that can never be faked: star quality," Ball remembered of first seeing Arnaz on stage.

"Then Desi opened his mouth and began talking in his own peculiar brand of broken English, and a great belly laugh burst out of me," she went on. "Here was a stunning-looking male who was not only thrilling but funny. What a combination!"

According to the Los Angeles Times, Ball described meeting Arnaz as "true love from the start."

Ball was ultimately cast in the 1940 adaptation of Too Many Girls alongside Arnaz.

"You could tell the sparks were flying with Lucy," the pair's co-star Eddie Bracken said years later. "It happened so fast it seemed it wouldn't last. Everybody on the set made bets about how long it would last."

By the end of the year, Arnaz and Ball had agreed to elope in Greenwich, Conn. In the spur of the moment decision, Arnaz had neglected to buy Ball a ring — and, thus, the musician's business manager was tasked with running to Woolworth's to pick out a brass one.

"Although Desi later gave me a platinum ring, that little discolored brass ring rested among the diamonds and emeralds in my jewel case for years," Ball said in her memoir. She described marrying
