It's been 20 years since Kathleen High School beat crosstown arch-rival Lakeland in football. It was 1992, and one of the greatest linebackers in NFL history stalked the field in Kathleen's red and black, still largely unknown outside of Central Florida.
LAKELAND | It's been 20 years since Kathleen High School beat crosstown arch-rival Lakeland in football.
It was 1992, and one of the greatest linebackers in NFL history stalked the field in Kathleen's red and black, still largely unknown outside of Central Florida.
Ray Lewis hasn't seen his alma mater win in that bitter rivalry since, through three years at Miami and a 17-year NFL career that will end today.
Stuck in the shadows like a little brother, Kathleen has suffered year after year as Lakeland won its sixth state championship, set state records for consecutive wins and had its longtime coach, Bill Castle, named the FHSAA's coach of the century.
But as Super Bowl XLVII kicks off today, it's the Kathleen football program that gets to puff its chest. That's because two of the school's former stars, Lewis and Albert McClellan, are linebackers for the Baltimore Ravens.
Lewis has been here before, and was the last Polk player to play for a winning team — in 2000 when he also was MVP. McClellan, a 2005 Kathleen graduate, is the sixth football player from the school to appear in a Super Bowl, far more than any other Polk County school. It's also the first to have two players appear in the same Super Bowl.
"Kathleen is doing some things," said Ernest Joe, Lewis' high school coach and now the Polk School District's director of diversity. "The competition is so tough. ... I was fortunate that we were able to do some things with the teams we had."
Besides Lewis and McClellan, four other former Kathleen players have been to Super Bowls: Ron Smith (Rams, 1979), Kenny Gant (Cowboys, 1992-93), Freddie Mitchell (Eagles, 2004) and Desmond Clark (Bears, 2006).
While Lakeland has had more NFL players (10) than Kathleen (nine), only two former Dreadnaughts have been on Super Bowl teams — Rod Smart (Panthers, 2003) and Maurkice Pouncey (Steelers, 2010). Pouncey was on injured reserve for his Super Bowl and didn't play.
"Kathleen has always had talent," said Joe, who is in New Orleans for today's game. "It was a matter of that talent working together."
He said the players often did that through tough circum-stances.
"You're going to find that 70 to 75 percent of the students are going to be on free and reduced lunch," he said. "Reduced lunches are a result of parents' incomes. And when you talk about parents' incomes, you're talking about their living conditions. You're going to find out some of those kids come from rough places. Now, not every kid comes from rough places, but a majority of them do."
Gant was the most successful football player to come out of Kathleen before Lewis. He played in the NFL for eight years, winning two Super Bowls with the Cowboys before finishing his career in Tampa Bay.
Growing up on 10th Street, Gant said he used to pick oranges. He didn't describe his living conditions as rough or poor, but it wasn't the Taj Mahal either.
"It was a good life, but it was something I didn't want to think about doing," Gant said. "That drove me. I always had a chip on my shoulder. I wanted to get out."
Kathleen Athletic Director Gary Lineberger, who has been at the school 24 years and helped coach Lewis and McClellan, said the school is proud of what they're about to achieve.
"There's a perception about Kathleen among a lot of people that is not flattering," said Lineberger, who also is a graduate of the school. "They don't know anything about Kathleen.
"It's a family atmosphere here. This place is special. We've got some screwballs like everyone else, but we have a great group of kids here.
"People notice it at graduation," Lineberger said. "They see the relationship we have with the kids here. But we work hard to cultivate it. We truly love our kids. They come from low socio-economic backgrounds so many of them. It's amazing they get to school every day. That's what we love about them so much.
"Everybody here is here for the right reason. Every coach that has been here as long as I've been here, understands that's part of their job. If a kid wants to play college football, we find them a place. It's not all going to be Division I football, but there's a place out there if they want to and (are) willing to."
It wasn't difficult to find a place for Lewis or McClellan.
Lewis is the Ravens' captain, the heartbeat of the squad, and leads the team in tackles in the playoffs.
"You never forget a player like him," Joe said. "He displayed that type of attitude, that group mentality. He would show you he would get the job done."
While Lewis' career is ending, McClellan's is just starting.
Finishing his second year in the league, McClellan is a part-time starter and special teams performer. His road has been tougher. He was undrafted coming out of Marshall but did enough that Baltimore kept him around on its practice squad.
Last year, he made the regular roster and was able to start some games.
"What was great about Albert was his determination and competitive nature," said Richard Tate, who coached McClellan at Kathleen. "He hated not to win – personally and as a team. He was adamant and wanted to do things right. When you've got a kid like that with natural ability, it's a perfect combination."
Both Lewis and McClellan were outstanding overall athletes.
Lewis won a state championship in wrestling in 1993, a year after he finished second. McClellan also played basketball with the high school team.
But it was on the gridiron where they made their mark.
Lewis was the team's most valuable player his junior and senior years. In addition to linebacker, Lewis played running back and returned both kickoffs and punts.
At Miami, Lewis finished ranked second in career tackles at the school before being drafted in the first round in 1996 by the Ravens.
"I knew that he was going to be good," Joe said. "But I knew he was going to the pros when in his first start his freshman year against the Colorado Buffaloes, he had 17 solo tackles and was the player of the game. That's when I said he was going to the NFL."
McClellan notched 65 tackles and 12 sacks as a high school senior, which helped earn him Class 3A first-team all-state honors. At Marshall, he was named to the Conference USA all-freshman team in 2005, then was named C-USA defensive MVP his sophomore year. A knee injury forced him to redshirt in 2007, but he was named first-team all-C-USA his redshirt junior year and second-team his senior season.
"He always had the work ethic," Lineberger said. "I knew he would have an opportunity, and I expect him to have a long career."
Last week, Lineberger and the student body met in the school's gymnasium and made a video tribute to Lewis and McClellan.
"I think everybody is excited," Lineberger said. "The kids and all of the faculty members embraced (the video). It's kind of nice. Not many (high schools) can say they have two players playing in the Super Bowl."

Before listening to the President's big push for immigration reform in his State of the Union address, take a look at the current state of play inside the GOP on the Hispanic vote. There's a hidden hand driving the reform proposals that will arrive before the Senate Judiciary Committee the day after the State of the Union.
That specter is the political danger for Republicans surrounding immigration reform. It is evident in a poll released last month by Resurgent Republic. The survey focused on Latino voters in four swing states — Florida, Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico. It showed that President Obama won 75 percent of the Latino vote in Colorado; 70 percent in Nevada; 64 percent in New Mexico and 60 percent in Florida in last November's election.
Obama won 71 percent of Latino votes nationally.
The Resurgent Republic poll found that, on virtually every issue presented to Latinos voters in the swing states, their preference for Democrats over Republicans is growing.
For example, during last year's presidential campaign, Republican Mitt Romney ran advertisements targeting high unemployment under President Obama in the Latino community. The idea was that the economy — not immigration and GOP opposition to immigration reform — was the number one issue for Latinos.
The poll gives a clue as to why the strategy failed. When Latinos in swing states are asked whom they trust to improve the economy, the answer is Democrats by a margin of 56 to 31 percent.
Similarly, when they are asked which party has the right plans to improve education, a key to upward economic mobility, they favor Democrats over the GOP, 62 percent to 22 percent.
Hispanic voters even told Resurgent Republic that Democrats, more than Republicans, share their social values by a margin of 66 percent to 21 percent.
That finding shatters the conventional wisdom that socially conservative Catholic Hispanics would flock to the GOP were it not for the immigration issues.
The key to future Republican political hopes is that Latinos — broadly viewed as a group who are church-going, fiscally conservative, entrepreneurial and with strong families — can be drawn to Republican candidates who trumpet those values.
But as the poll suggests, the GOP will have trouble getting Latinos to even listen to their socially conservative pitch. Latinos have tuned out the GOP.
For example, when the poll asked which party does a better job of protecting women's rights, 69 percent of Latinos picked the Democrats while only 17 percent said the GOP. Latino women are the most politically active segment of the Latino community.
Overall, Latinos in swing states told pollsters the Republican brand represents anti-immigrant sentiment and works only for rich people.
This time bomb for Republicans leaves them two options. They can play to short-term resentment of immigrants among aging white conservatives or they can try to persuade the current base of the party to take the long-view and act in the best interests of the GOP's future.
The political reality is that the fast-rising number of Latino voters moving into GOP congressional districts hurts Republican efforts to hold the majority in the House and kills hopes of gains in the Senate.
The Latino population is growing most rapidly in the south, southwest and midwest. Those new voters are pushing into congressional districts now dominated by older, white conservatives. By the end of this decade, Latino voters could be putting those congressional districts and Senate seats into the hands of Democrats.
But the hard right base of the party, fans of conservative talk-radio attacks on immigrants and Romney's call for "self-deportation," still denounce a pathway to citizenship as "amnesty" for people who broke the law. And Republicans now in Congress fear a vote for a path to citizenship could antagonize that current base of voters while creating millions of new registered Democratic voters.
That is why Republicans are staging intramural fights over immigration.
Texas's Tea Party Republican Sen. Ted CruzRafael (Ted) Edward CruzO'Rourke writes blog post describing a literal run from near the capitol to near the White House Cruz brushes off question about campaign claim on O'Rourke paying for caravan Texas New Members 2019 MORE is playing to current resentments despite the large and growing population of Latinos in Texas. "To allow those who came here illegally to be placed on such a path is both inconsistent with rule of law and profoundly unfair to the millions of legal immigrants who waited years, if not decades, to come to America legally," he said recently.
On the other side of the debate are Republican Sens. Marco RubioMarco Antonio RubioRubio defends '3 point kick' analogy: 'You think everyone who follows politics knows what a field goal is?' Lawmakers to introduce bipartisan bill targeting China's treatment of Muslims Rubio cites Bible verse amid recount criticisms: 'You cannot count what is not there' MORE of Florida and John McCainJohn Sidney McCainMcCain would have said 'enough' to acrimony in midterms, says Cindy McCain Trump nominates Jim Gilmore for ambassador post Arizona New Members 2019 MORE of Arizona, states also experiencing growth in the Hispanic population. Those senators are taking the lead for the GOP in proposing reforms that include a pathway to citizenship.
Look for the Republican divide about the future of the party to be on display on TV and in reform proposals after the State of the Union.
Will short-term thinking or long-term thinking carry the day among Republicans?

Tylenol Tampering Scare
Exxon Valdez Oil Spill
Firestone Tire Fiasco
A Whole New Ballgame
Crisis Plan Checklist
Putting it into Action
|In 1982, Johnson and Johnson experienced a major crisis when it was discovered that numerous bottles of its Extra-Strength Tylenol capsules had been laced with cyanide. By the end of the crisis, seven people had died. How Johnson and Johnson dealt with this situation set a new precedent for crisis management. The company was lauded for its quick decisions and sincere concern for its consumers. Despite initial losses, Johnson and Johnson regained and exceeded its previous market share within months of the incident.
Reacting to the News
When Johnson and Johnson was faced with the initial situation, it had to make some tough decisions that would severely impact the future of the company. Rather than think in financial terms, however, CEO James Burke immediately turned to the company's Credo. Written by Robert Johnson in 1943, the document defines the focus of the company as its customers. With this as its inspiration, Tylenol used the media to promptly begin alerting people of the potential dangers of the product. It dispatched scientists to determine the source of the tampering.
Setting a New Standard
Johnson and Johnson then made a decision that would set a new standard for crises involving product tampering. The company ordered a massive recall of more than 31 million bottles at a cost of more than $100 million.6 It also temporarily ceased all production of capsules and replaced them with more tamper-resistant caplets. This type of drastic response had never been attempted, which prompted much criticism. However, Johnson and Johnson stood firm behind its decision - and for good reason. The company was able to "use the crisis to demonstrate to [its] customers [its] commitment to customer safety and to the quality of the Tylenol product."7 In addition, the company's willingness to be open with the public and communicate with the media helped the company maintain a high level of credibility and customer trust throughout the incident. Burke also maintained a high profile and repeatedly assured the public of the company's commitment to its customers' safety.
Regaining Lost Ground
Directly following the incident, Johnson and Johnson's stock fell seven points, and it dropped from having 35 percent of the nonprescription pain-reliever market to having only eight percent of the market.8 However, these tough times would not last. The company aired commercials within days to regain the public's trust, and a month after the recall, the company embarked on an aggressive campaign to rebuild the Tylenol brand. In November, it promised to have the product back on the shelves in a new triple-tamper-resistant package - the first of its kind - by the end of the year. It offered incentives, such as a free replacement of caplets for the capsules and special coupons, to try to maintain its customer base. The company's attempts were successful, and by the following spring, Johnson and Johnson had regained its previous market share.9 When another poisoning involving a New York woman occurred four years later, Johnson and Johnson once again had to take action. "Because the company had been through it before - the tampering, the tragedy, the scrutiny of news organizations - its executives knew how to handle it." 10 Despite the fact this case was soon identified as an isolated incident, Johnson and Johnson decided to permanently discontinue capsule products - once again demonstrating its commitment to putting safety first.

So the goal here is the exact opposite of a budget guide. I have been working on finding a strategy for each tamer that will guarantee a victory with the least possible RNG, and that uses ONLY cageable pets.
Why? Because most of my friends are not too into pet battles. They have only a few lvl 25 pets, barely enough to even enter the tournament, let alone win it. So i made this to help them out in getting their pets.
I will start by listing the team i use against each of the weekly combination of trainers, and at the end the teams i used against the celestial children. Sadly i did not write down which abilities to use on which turn, only which ones to have on the pets. But i will let you guys figure that out, otherwise how much fun would it be?
And i will edit it in the future to a more in-depth strategy. So here's the teams i used!
As for the strategy, match each pet with the one it's strong against, and under each pet is what ability to use each turn.
Once the enemy pet dies, keep doing damage with your active pet until it dies, then switch a strong one in, unless stated otherwise below.
Vs. Wise Mari:
Gilnean Raven (1,2,1)
Dark Whelpling (1,1,1)
Spineclaw Crab (1,2,2)
Vs. Blingtron:
Direhorn Runt (1,1,2)
Phoenix Hatchling (1,2,2)
Vs. Shademaster Kyrin
Crawling Claw (2,2,1)
Son of Animus (1,1,1)
Searing Scorchling (1,1,1)
Vs. Lorewalker Cho:
Disgusting Oozeling (1,1,1)
Dark Whelpling (1,1,1)
Spam 1.
Anubisath Idol (1,2,1)
Spam 1. Use 3 the turn after the dragon powers up.
Vs. Dr. Goldbloom:
Azure Whelpling(2,1,1)
2,3, Switch Son of Animus in.
Son of Animus (1,1,1)
2,3, spam 1 until Direhorn dies. Then damage Screamer or Chaos until Animus dies.
Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling (1,1,1)
3, spam 1. Very strong against Chaos. Should be able to finish Screamer off as well, if not, you still got Azure Whelp.
Vs. Sully:
Mojo (2,1,2)
1,1,2, Spam 1 until he dies. Use heal during the extra turn he gets from undead passive.
Direhorn Runt (1,1,2)
Gilnean Raven (1,2,1)
Vs. Taran Zhu:
Crawling Claw (2,2,1)
Fossilized Hatchling (2,2,1)
Spam 1. Use 2 on your last round.
Voodoo Figurine (1,2,1)
2, then spam 1.
Vs. Chen Stormstout:
Son of Animus (1,1,1)
Direhorn Runt (1,1,2)
Vs. Wrathion:
Giant Sewer Rat (1,2,2)
Spam 1. Use 3 when about to die to buy one turn for yourself.
Anubisath Idol (1,2,1)
2. Spam 1. Keep Stoneskin up. Use 3 on the turn Lil' Deathwing uses roll (Will deflect both his breath and the elementium bolt)
Gregarious Grell (1,2,1)*
Spam 1 while keeping yourself alive.
*You should only need one Grell for the whole thing. It won't die from Wrathion and you get to heal him up** before the celestials phase
** You can heal your damaged pets before starting phase 2. Use a pet with an AOE heal such as Terrible Turnip or Stinker (I believe Stinker has the highest heal ability?). Simply start the fight with one of them as your first pet and other 2 damaged pets. Yu'la and Chi-chi never start with an attack move. So you get to heal then forfeit as much as needed.
Phase 2: The celestial children
-Vs. Zao: Sunreaver Micro-Sentry (2,1,1); Clockwork Gnome (1,1,1); Zandalari Anklerender (2,1,2)
Start with Sentry: Use Extra plating, then Immolate, Call Lightning.
Switch to Clockwork Gnome: Build Turret. Spam Metal Fist until you can Turret again. Keep that until you die.
Back to Sentry: Call Lightning. Immolate. If you die,
Zandalari Anklerender: Use Black Claw to power up whatever Turrets and Immolate you still have up. Finish him off with Hunting Party.
-Vs. Xu-fu: Tranquil Mechanical Yeti (1,1,2); Darkmoon Tonk (1,1,2); Zandalari Kneebiter (2,2,2)
Start with Yeti: Metal Fist, Call Lightning, Ion Cannon. When it dies, use
Darkmoon Tonk: Shock and Awe, Missile, Ion Cannon. If Xu-fu is still alive and so is tonk, spam Missile until you die.
If needed, finish him off with Zandalari Kneebiter using Black Claw and Hunting Party.
-Vs. Yu'la: Gregarious Grell (1,2,1); Peddlefeet (1,2,2)
Barring some RNG, the Grell can solo this one. Spam Punch. If she flies up, Phase Shift will let you avoid the attack as well as her next breath. Cauterize to heal yourself up after the 2nd Breath hits (or first if it's a crit), then Cauterize on cooldown while still using Phase Shift to avoid the flight attack.
In case the Grell dies, Peddlefeet's Perfumed Arrow is priority. Bow Shot and heal yourself as needed with Love Potion until you win.
-Vs. Chi-chi: Pandaren Water Spirit (1,2,2); Chromminus (1,1,2)
Start with Water Spirit: Geyser, Whirlpool.
Switch to Chromminus: Howl. At this point the turn ends and Chi-chi takes double damage from both the elemental's abilities and gets stunned. Finish him off with Surge of Power.
Congrats! You just won the Celestial Tournament! I will add more in-depth strategies to the phase 1 tamers as i repeat and perfect them. Hope you guys find this guide useful.

Neil Williams, Group Chief Economist
Welcome to 'divergence December'. The fact that euro-zone and US monetary policy will be taking different routes – the ECB loosening, the Fed tightening – was always a given. So, what markets needed today was guidance on how fast they'll be travelling and how far they'll end up going.
The first leg of that – today's ECB decision – was probably the world's worst kept secret. Euro-zone GDP may be back up to its pre-crisis level, but with 2% headline inflation only a remote possibility and only half the EUR 1.1trn 'QE1' programme completed, Mr Draghi was always going to act.
In the event, though, he has under-delivered.
Not quite pushing out the 'boat on QE2'...
First, he hasn't quite pushed out the 'boat on QE2'! By extending it six months to March 2017, and including regional and local debt, his sign of intent is he will do more. But, by not upping the pace, at just EUR 60bn purchases per month, and excluding other assets such as more corporate bonds and mortgage debt, he is keeping some powder dry.
Second, to get 'bang for his buck', he rightly shaved the deposit rate further into negative territory. But, the only -10bp cut, to -0.3%, is puny. Aimed at discouraging cash hoarding, even more negative rates will likely be needed if the liquidity QE throws up is to be pushed out to where it matters most – consumers and businesses.
A problem with QE is it provides cash to lend, but cannot force consumers and firms to borrow. As the ECB's own bank lending survey reveals, credit supply, at a five-year high, is not being matched by credit demand, which continues to cool.
Marrying these two changes, the effectiveness of negative rates will be in keeping bond yields down – given the ECB's pledge to buy government bonds down to a yield that's as low as the negative deposit rate.
Either way, while helpful in addressing the symptom, deflation, Mr Draghi cannot be expected to solve the problem – a monetary union devoid of economic union. This will take years.
So, we now await the second leg – the first US rate hike – likely on 16 December. After FOMC prevarication and what will be thinning holiday markets, the Fed will use many signposts to flag it up, including Janet Yellen's testimony, the coming jobs data and a whole line of Fed speakers.
So, I suspect that by the time we get confirmation on the 15 December that US inflation is finally beginning to lift, the 'writing' of the Fed's first rate hike for almost a decade will have long been 'on the wall'.

In terms of really pushing cross-platform multiplayer, it would be great if Apple released Game Center as a SDK for PC too just like Quicktime is for integration into PC games. With hundreds of millions of Apple ID and people's familiarity with using them across PC, OS X, and iOS I think gamers would be very open to using it. It would finally bring a ubiquitous player profile and cross-platform gaming and wouldn't be tied to a single developer like say EA Origins.
Given Apple's strong support Lion will no doubt bring OpenCL 1.2 support. Hopefully OpenGL 4.x support will be included as well. I wonder if they will continue to introduce new features as non-backwards compatible profiles, ie. OpenGL 2.1 (Legacy), OpenGL 3.2 (Core), and OpenGl 4.x (Core, or whether they just add everything to the existing Core profile?
Posted 16 February 2012 - 09:35 AM
Anyway, that was unexpected. None of the features sound like real killer features, though, but I'm hoping for a general fix of Lion's annoyances – especially the in my opinion fundamentally broken Mission Control (though I doubt these fixes will come...). Nevertheless, the new stuff sounds at least a bit more useful than the unnecessary crap Lion brought over from iOS to the Mac (except maybe for the Twitter baloney). The Game Center was really something I was hoping for. I have grown fond of achievements in games.

The only thing so far that might be regarded in a somewhat sceptical way is Gatekeeper (because it can limit the software you can install on your computer) but that's purely optional and appears to be closer to the certification mechanism that is already in place in Windows for several years than to the completely walled-off iOS garden.

Not in terms of size but certainly was a name that I had guessed ahead of time as a possible monkier. Leopard -> Snow Leopard and now Lion -> Mountain Lion.
But they are running out of big cats (cheetah, puma, jaguar, panther, tiger, leopard, snow leopard, lion, mountain lion ... is a cougar next? "that's what she said!" except a cougar [puma concolor] is a puma or mountain lion depending on region so they are already duplicating). As long as they stay with cat names, She is happy.
P.S. The thread title says 10.6.8 ... shouldn't it be 10.8?
P.P.S. The one decent thing in this update? That Safari will *finally* have a single input for search/URLs. (Can we get Duck Duck Go as a default too?)
P.P.P.S. As discussed here when Mac App Store was announced, it looks like we *are* moving toward an Apple-approved software model. Called that one, huh? (You'll note that Gatekeeper's default is for App Store and certified devs only. Did you like indie games? Oh, sorry about that 10.9 owners.)

No, I still don't think so. (For one thing, that would severely impact Apple's scientific computing market.)
Today, Windows 7 inundates me with prompts when apps do things it thinks are slightly suspicious. I have to continually give my permission. The natural response to this is to deactivate most of the security.. Seems to me that Apple's strategy will allow developers to register their apps, which will allow the OS to bother the user less often.
Look at it another way: the users that most need protecting from insecure computers are the majority: the casual users. They buy either software boxed or from the Mac App Store. They expect things to "just work". Apple is making "secure mode" the default for them, good for people who don't fiddle with settings. Many users will only be running reputable apps and will hardly notice Gatekeeper. The rest of us will have no trouble running whatever we want, if I understand the feature correctly.
And what's the alternative? Apple could continue to allow the platform to be completely open; historically that has been a disaster on the Windows side, and as Mac marketshare increases and as MS continually improves PC security, one day Macs will be the low-hanging fruit for attackers.

- So, the breaking out of functionality from Mail and iCal to create Reminders and so on, I think makes perfect sense. If you have an iOS device, the join together with iCloud will work so much better for this. Big thumbs up.
- iMessage being brought to Mac is a good move too. The beta sounds a bit shaky, when integrating with other services, but this might hinge on adding support for those to iOS, so that you have a more seamless chat environment, as you move around. This is actually something I believe Palm had in WebOS, so it's pretty sensible to add on all counts.
- Notifications centre seems a bit janky to me. I don't think it should take up more space than the alerts need. It's also tied to apps only from the App Store, but presumably Growl would be able to work around that, since it takes other app calls, and could then drop them into NC for you (A bit like the rather clever Launch app on iOS).
- Airplay. Long time coming, and simply a fast, snappy extension of screen sharing tech. Good.
- Game Centre. Makes sense, and offers cross platform play, which could be interesting. Also good.
- iCloud's further integration. This is obviously where Apple are pushing, and on the whole I think it's pretty decent. I'm yet to really figure out how you'll be pulling documents from there, and mixing between what's on your HDD and what's on iCloud... That's an area of confusion for me. It also highlights the lack of a file manager of any real sort on iOS, and that maybe it could be useful to have some form of hierarchical layout viewable somewhere there too.
- Gatekeeper, as a security measure, is spot on. As is the default setting of having it open to the App Store and signed apps allowed. I don't think there's any real limits to who can get a signed app, so that doesn't prevent indie devs from getting their games signed or anything. As long as this stays an option to turn off, I'm happy that it's there.
That, I think, is the key point right at the end. With everything they've added in Lion and Mountain Lion, from Launchpad to Gatekeeper, these are all still currently optional things that whilst on by default, you can happily ignore and still do things the old way. Should they ever do away with the Finder, or lock away Terminal access, or yes, even lock it down to the Mac App Store only, that will be the day I don't upgrade anymore.
Whilst these things are quite real possibilities, I think that Apple do still realise that people don't want that. The Finder happily coexists with, and is a necessary cohabitant with Spotlight, for example. Computers need to have this kind of flexibility, and options extending out of that, and right now they seem to have a handle on this.
So whether they are taking a softly, softly approach to locking down OSX, or whether they're simply adding features, and not subtracting, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Oh wait, I did think of one thing that still annoys the heck out of me in Lion, which is the auto-save functionality. Auto-saving and versions is awesome in some cases, but not in others. Sadly, that's in the hands of the app developers, and some are right dolts when it comes to listening to their actual users (Pixelmator! DAMN YOU!).
The plus side is that 10.8 apparently will make it easier to duplicate and rename, somehow. They should call it "save as..." or something.

These are literally the only two things i don't like about Mountain Lion.
Ahh, ye-olde-overreaction. Literally all Apple are doing is creating another layer for users to interact with their operating system. I thought for a while it was inferior to the way Windows is about to change over (and in some ways it is), but realistically it is just a different way of addressing the same issue.
Where Microsoft is going for the Two-Face Metro/Classic, both sides of the coin thing; Lion has a layer of features completely useless to power users, but in most cases it doesn't limit them at all. The only thing that really threatens it is the App store. Apple, nor Microsoft will never force us to use our computers like our touch devices, they are merely taking the best design aspects of their portable systems and appropriating them to their desktop operating systems.
It is a good idea and i think it will result in more people buying Macs. More interestingly on the windows side i think it could lead to some superdevice that perfectly merges the casual use experience of a Tablet and a more full on computer workstation

To assure your experience
at Chicago-Kent College of Law is a positive one,
the Center for Law and Computers is available to
assist you with your computer and technical questions
and concerns. You can reach a member of our staff
by calling (312) 906-5300 (6-5300 house phones)
or sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. We
are located in suite 540 if you would like to stop
by our offices.
for Exams on Computers.
Exams are coming up quickly!
Here are a couple of things you should do to prepare your
computer for the installation of the exam software:
1. Run SCANDISK on
your computer; you can use ScanDisk to check your hard
disk for logical and physical errors. ScanDisk can then
repair the damaged areas. Start ScanDisk by clicking Start,
pointing to Programs, pointing to Accessories, pointing
to System Tools, and then clicking ScanDisk. Be sure to
select the option for a Thorough scan as opposed to the
Standard scan. This may take 30-60 minutes to complete
so please allow appropriate time.
2. Run DISK DEFRAGMENTER
on your computer; you can use Disk Defragmenter to rearrange
files and unused space on your hard disk so that programs
run faster. You can also start Disk Defragmenter by clicking
Start, pointing to Programs, pointing to Accessories,
pointing to System Tools, and then clicking Disk Defragmenter.
The program may indicate that your hard drive is not significantly
fragmented and does not need to be defragmented. It does
not hurt your computer to do this even if you get this
message. The more often you defragment your computer,
the quicker it takes on a regular basis. NOTE:
ALWAYS run ScanDisk on your computer
before you run the Disk Defragmenter program.
3. When downloading the SofTest program, you must be logged
into the Chicago Kent Network.
4. Use Internet Explorer to connect to ExamSoft's web
site to download the installation files for SofTest. ExamSoft
requires that you use a version of Internet Explorer 5.0
or greater to download their software. NOTE:
Windows 98 or above provides
a sufficient version of Internet Explorer to download
the software.
It is recommended
that users with windows 2000/xp install the service packs
and security patches provided by microsoft.
To ensure that
your system has the service packs and security updates
visit the microsoft website by opening the Internet Explorer,
click-Tools-Windows Updates. Read the instructions and
On this page you
will find critical updates, Windows updates and driver
updates. Note you only need
to perform the Critical Updates.
Click on critical updates
which will then pull all the service packs and patches
required on your computer. Click the review and install
link and proceed with the directions.
If you need assistance please
visit the helpdesk in
room 540.
Instructions for ExamSoft.
SofTest registration
and download site opens November 20 for Fall 2002 final
If you signed up to take one
or more exams on computer (either a lab computer or your
own laptop);
You MUST read the following information
Chicago-Kent College of Law uses a special program, SofTest,
for taking exams on computers. The advantage of using
the SofTest program is that it increases the stability,
security, and reliability of the exam taking process.
Since adopting SofTest and its predecessor programs, we
have experienced very few problems with lost exams or
corrupted exam files.
If you are taking an exam on computer, you
will write your exam using the word processing program
built into SofTest. Please read the appropriate section
below, depending on whether you plan to use a lab
computer or your own
laptop to take the exam. If you are taking
the exam on your laptop, please note that you must not
only download and install the SofTest program, but must
also bring certain necessary hardware components to the
Although the program is simple to use, please spend a
few minutes reviewing the online tutorial videos at: http://www.kentlaw.edu/clc/examsoft/softtest.shtml.
In addition, you may run the practice version from any
lab computer any time during the exam period (go to Start,
Programs, SofTest; then click on the "Practice" button
on the lower right of the screen).
In order to take exams on your own laptop, you will have
to download the SofTest software from the web. THE
Go to http://www.examsoft.com/chicagokentlaw,
"Exam Takers," select "Personal Computer," then
in the Exam Taker menu, click on the "Download and Registration
Process" link and follow the directions. This is a new
version of SofTest, so if you have a previous version
already installed on your computer (even a version from
last semester), you MUST uninstall the old version, and
download and install the new version. Do not choose any
upgrade options. See further information below.
Provided below is some important information
about downloading and installing the software. The process
is somewhat time-consuming, so please do not wait until
the last minute. If you have any problems or questions,
contact the Help Desk (Room 540; e-mail: HELPDESK; phone:
Please note that you MUST come to the exam
with the SofTest program properly installed and configured.
This includes fully completing the "registration
and qualification" process on ExamSoft's web site.
Additionally, you should bring the following hardware
components with you:
(1) a power cord
(2) a network card
(3) a network cable
(4) a floppy disk drive
If you do not have the software properly installed, or
are missing any necessary equipment, you will be required
to hand write your exam.
Important Information
about Downloading and Installing SofTest:
* In order to guarantee that SofTest will
function properly on your computer, Examsoft has implemented
a software registration and qualification procedure as
part of the SofTest download. YOU
You have not completed the process until you see "Registration
Status: Complete"
in the program's first screen. Please read on for details.
* You should remove any prior versions of
SofTest or other ExamSoft software from your computer
before trying to install the new version. To do this,
click on the Windows "Start" button а "Settings" а "Control
Panel" а "Add/Remove Programs," find "SofTest"
and then follow the directions to uninstall it. Reboot
your computer before proceeding after you perform this
* The process for obtaining and installing
SofTest requires a number of steps to be performed online
at ExamSoft's web site located at http://www.examsoft.com/chicagokentlaw.
We recommend that you download and print out the instructions
for this procedure as well as Examsoft's list of frequently
asked questions (FAQ's) at http://www.examsoft.com/faq/faq.htm
before you begin.
* To download the program, you will be required to provide
a "Student
ID." In the "Student
ID" field, please enter the five-digit
exam number previously e-mailed to you by the
Registrar's Office. This will be your Student ID number
throughout the exams on computer testing process.
LOGGED IN TO THE CHICAGO-KENT NETWORK! There
are two reasons for this. First, your Chicago-Kent network
account must have full permissions to do anything on your
laptop. The easiest way to check that this is the case
is to complete the entire download and installation process
(including registration and qualification) while you are
logged in to the Chicago-Kent network. Second, you must
be able to access the file server drives on the Chicago-Kent
network. If you can not properly log in to the Chicago-Kent
network, you will not be able to open your exam files.
* Due to the requirement of accessing shared
network drives, Windows XP Home
Edition will not function for taking an exam on your laptop
at Chicago-Kent.
* Due to the above mentioned permissions
requirements, you can not borrow a laptop from a fellow
student to take your exams.
You will receive
a final registration confirmation by email containing
your student ID,
password, institution,
and registration number if
you completed the registration process successfully. If
you do not receive the confirmation email, please stop
by room 540 or call the Help Desk (312) 906-5300 for further
Directory and Photo Information.
Students' local addresses and telephone
numbers are published in a Student Directory. If a student
does not want his/her name, address, or phone number published,
the student must complete a privacy form available in
the Registrar's office or fill the privacy forms on-line
at http://webmail.kentlaw.edu/exchange/logon.asp.
Help Desk has moved to Suite 540
The Help Desk is now located
in Rm 540. Stop in and visit us in our new
word about Recent Viruses, Worms and Trojans.
McAfee is our Virus scanning application
that is used throughout Chicago-Kent. According to McAfee's
web site there are more then 62,000 virus threats that
exist and new ones are found everyday. Viruses and backdoor
Trojans can cause major disruptions and financial loss.
The "Melissa, I love You, Goner, Code Red" and many others
have impacted many organizations to the point that even
Microsoft had to turn off their e-mail systems until the
virus could be contained. The newer forms of viruses (Backdoor
Trojans) are even more devastating by actually giving
someone else complete control of your computer and access
to all the information stored on them.
There are things that you can do to protect
your computer. You can protect yourself by running a full
virus scan of all the files on your computer periodically.
Ensuring that you have the latest updates from the vendor.
Avoid programs from unknown sources (Internet and Email).
Never open or double-click on an attachment that is from
and unknown recipient.
The Center for Law and Computers posts Virus
Updates to your computer desktop as they are released
from the vendor or you can access them directly from McAfee's

Word About Microsoft Operating Systems
with Windows ME in calendar year 2000, Microsoft
began implementing a strategy of tailoring certain
versions of their Windows operating systems specifically
toward consumer markets. Windows ME and certain
future versions of the Windows operating system
include multimedia and "ease of use" features
that are designed to make the use of a Windows based
computer a more engaging experience in the home.
this may sound enticing, it is important to realize
that the "consumer" versions of Windows
are not designed to exist in a corporate network
environment like that at Chicago-Kent. In fact,
the "consumer" version of Microsoft's
latest operating system, Windows XP Home Edition,
does not include any capability to connect to corporate
So where does this leave you? At the time of these
specifications writing, the Center for Law and Computers
recommends Windows 2000 Professional or Windows
XP Professional (Professional being the KEY word
here) as the best all-around operating systems for
new notebook computer purchases. If neither is available,
then Windows 98 would be the next best choice followed
by Windows ME as a last option. For students who
already own a notebook, any edition of Windows 98
along with Windows 2000 Professional and XP Professional
can be configured to connect to the Chicago-Kent
network. Existing Windows ME notebooks can be configured
to connect to the network through some additional
work by computer support staff. Desktop users are
encouraged to remain with the operating system that
is presently on their PC.
If you have any questions regarding these computer
specifications or anything about computers at Chicago-Kent,
please do not hesitate to contact the Center for
Law and Computers by calling (312) 906-5300 or emailing
Maintenence-----------No Information
word about MS Windows XP
On October 25th, Microsoft released the newest version
of their Windows operating system called Windows XP. This
new operating system comes in two distinct editions: Windows
XP Home Edition and Windows XP Professional. Please be aware
that while Windows XP Home Edition can connect to the Internet,
it can not in any way be made to connect to corporate networks
such as the Chicago-Kent LAN. A computer running the Home
Edition of Windows XP will not be able to access network
printers, network drives such as H: home directories, and
e-mail via Microsoft Outlook.
It is for these reasons that the Center for Law and Computers
recommends that anyone purchasing a new machine positively
confirm the operating system with their vendor. Computers
that are available only with Windows XP pre-installed should
only be purchased if it is Windows XP Professional, NOT
Windows XP Home Edition.
Windows 98 and Windows 2000 Professional continue to be
fully compatible with the Chicago-Kent network.
As always, please feel free to contact the CLC Help Desk
if you have any questions or concerns.
Email and Network Accounts:
A Chicago-Kent email account is setup for you. Your username
will be your first initial and last name, no punctuation
or spaces (i.e. Jane Student = jstudent) and your initial
password will be the last six digits of your Social Security
Number, no punctuation or spaces (i.e. 999999).
unnecessary files on Network
The Center for Law and Computers provides access to the
Network for Chicago-Kent students, faculty, and staff in
support of the educational mission of the university. In
recent months we have noticed an increase in the amount
of personal storage space being consumed on our network.
As we continue to maintain and scan the network drives we
are noticing numerous occurrences of non-educational types
of materials (i.e., MP3, .wav, .mov, .avi). We understand
that there are occasions when storing these types of files
on the network for educational use is legitimate.
As you may well be aware, the recent court decisions potentially
makes us liable if members of our community engage in infringing
activity. As a reminder to all students, a portion of the
IIT Computer Use Policy states, "Network users must
abide by the terms of all software licensing agreements
and copyright laws, and may not make copies of or make available
on the network copyrighted material, unless permitted by
a license. Network users must not perform acts which are
deliberately wasteful of computing resources or which unfairly
monopolize resources to the exclusion of others..."
The complete Computer User Policy can be found at:
When you save and store large music, image, video, or other
types of non-educational related material on the network
it increases the time it takes for system backups and virus
scanning; the large downloads also consume unnecessary bandwidth.
Please be considerate of your colleagues and remove or transfer
to your laptop ALL files in violation. If files
are not removed, the Center for Law and Computers is authorized
by the administration to permanently remove them for you.
We ask that you purge all unnecessary messages and files
as often as possible from your network and email accounts
to help us preserve space on the C-K server. As a reminder,
in Outlook mail, you must delete messages from your "Deleted
Messages" folder for them to be permanently removed
from the mail server. It is also a good maintenance procedure
to delete any unneeded messages in the "Sent"
Changing Your Password:
To select a new password:
Access Webmail (http://webmail.kentlaw.edu)
from your Internet browser, (i.e. Internet Explorer)
Select the option CHANGE PASSWORD
When prompted, enter your username, password and desired
new password when successfully completed, you will receive
the message PASSWORD SUCCESSFULLY CHANGED
Your new password takes effect immediately and will give
you access to your email account and network files.
Password protection is one of the most important principles
of network and e-mail security. Chicago-Kent College of
Law provides access to network and electronic mail resources
to its students, faculty, and staff, in support of the University's
mission of teaching, research, and public service. Passwords
are assigned for access to both of these resources to authenticate
a user's identity, to protect network users, and to provide
New passwords will be provided, and existing passwords

Virus Scanning Instructions
It Is Critical to Update Your Virus Detection Software
As always, it is a good idea to update the virus protection
software on your personal computer periodically to catch
any new viruses lurking out there in cyber world Since we
have a volume license to McAfee Virus Scan, each
student, faculty and staff should have a copy of this software
on his/her computer. (It is free to C-K students so...No
excuse not to have it!)
The Center for Law and Computers takes a proactive stance
in trying to eradicate viruses by cleaning them as they
come through our servers, we cannot protect each individual
PC. We are asking that you also be proactive to ensure that
your PC does not become infected.
Because there are new virus outbreaks DAILY, we want to
stress the importance of having the latest virus protection
software and updated virus definition (.DAT) files. We'd
also like to remind you that regular virus scans of all
drives (weekly, if possible) are necessary in order to detect
and clean any viruses so they are not sent to friends and/or
Chicago-Kent is licensed for and supports McAfee Virus
Scan from Network Associates. According to information on
their web site, there are over 50,000+ viruses out there
and the potential for damage is continuous. We here at the
Center for Law and Computers want to make sure you have
the best possible protection for your PC. Please follow
the manual instructions below to install the latest virus
definition updates (.DAT files) for your McAfee software.
FIRST: Check to see
that you have a recent version of the virus scanning software
on your computer.
You can do this by clicking on the small blue and red "VShield"
icon in the lower right corner of your screen with the right
mouse button. When you do, a small menu will pop up. Select
the "About" choice in this menu by clicking on
it once with the left mouse button.
After clicking "About" you will get a box that
displays several numbers. There are two important numbers
that you should be concerned with. The first number is in
boldface and located next to the phrase "McAfee Virus
Scan" toward the top of the box's gray area. This number
tells you what version of the Virus Scan product or "engine"
you are running. You should be running some version of 4.x.
Any version of 3.x is too old and should be updated to a
later version, please call the Help Desk to schedule an
update. The second number you should be concerned with in
the "About" box is the number next to the phrase
"Virus definitions." The last four digits of this
number tell you the version of the ".DAT" you
are running. As an example, the picture below is from a
PC that is running version 4.0.3 of the Virus Scan product
(engine) and version 4115 of the virus definitions (.DAT
SECOND: Install the
latest virus definition updates on your computer.
These procedures may force a reboot
of your computer. In order to avoid loss of data, close
all programs except Outlook before completing any of the
following steps.
While signed on to the C-K network, run the update with
the following three steps:
Once the "SuperDat" update program starts, click
on "Next."
You may be prompted to restart your computer.
THIRD: Run a virus
scan on your PC.
This will begin the scanning process. It will check all
the files on the drive you designated. It may take a few
minutes to several hours depending on the speed of your
computer and the number of files you have. Your patience
will pay off, remember you will be preventing problems in
the future.
Note: The above procedures can be used in the future to
update your .DAT files.

Oh, and one thing on the PKs- conventional wisdom said go with the experienced team and the experienced keeper. Jesse Gonzalez is Rimando 2.0 on PKs. His first 2 in the league this year, he held his ground on Javi Mo and Pipa and essentially forced a miss when he didn't buy their respective fakes. I felt pretty confidant when it went to PKs. That had nothing to do with them rolling out Hollingshead 2nd and Zimmerman for the clincher. What a series. from Weirder Bremen

1. They interviewed Felipe last week on Extra Time
Podcast and he picked Portland as the team to beat
in the playoffs.
2. None of the 15 highest-paid MLS players is in
the final four. Only two players on the final four
teams make more than a million per year, Higuain
and a Portland defender, I believe.
3. There will be only one more game played on
turf, the first leg of Portland-Dallas. (Portland
can't host MLS Cup).

Two notes regarding Dallas/Seattle.
1. Seattle's game from the beginning was to play to a 0-0 tie. They started time wasting about 20 minutes into the game making the first 80 minutes just about unwatchable for me. It was good to see they had a plan B in scoring that vital goal.
2. Seattle was just too old across the board and their bloated player salaries make their bench about an inch deep. While Dallas can put Blas Perez on late in a game and also add even more speed. At the end of 100 minutes Seattle could no longer run and Dallas showed that they are one of the fittest teams in the league.

I turned the Dallas game on just as Akindele scored. What a game (at the end).
The NY-DC game was drab.
A Dallas - New York final would be very interesting.

i am sure the suits in the league office wanted SEA-POR and NYR-MON. a CMB-DAL MLS Cup is as close to a nightmare scenario for them as possible (even though it may produce the best on the field product possible). odds as of today:
i think any team could win it, but i like the POR odds. they looked completely in control vs VAN (though Manneh going out completely changed the second leg). FYI, there appear to be multiple sites though that have not updated their odds since last month. i am not sure whether they are still taking bets, but one site still has LAG @ +300 and POR at +866 according to oddsportal.

DAL looks out of steam and POR is peaking at the right time.
while many do not like Porter for various reasons (he seems
like a prick), i do not think you can deny that he has done a
good job there. he is getting it done in the postseason with
dudes like Asprilla in the starting XI. that Borchers goal @
the end was lucky but very well could be the difference.
CMB also seems to have luck on their side, and Higuain
could be the most underrated player in the league. however,
i could see RNY fighting back next week to make it
interesting. from a pure soccer standpoint, i feel like we will
be in for a treat no matter who advances to the final.

Prose and Poetry: Sir Thomas North to Michael Drayton
Robert Southwell. Samuel Daniel
> Robert Southwell
John Davies of Hereford
The Cambridge History of English and American Literature in 18 Volumes
Volume IV. Prose and Poetry: Sir Thomas North to Michael Drayton.
Robert Southwell. Samuel Daniel
§ 1. Robert Southwell.
REFERENCE was made at the close of the previous chapter to the poetry of piety and philosophy which became prominent in the last decade of Elizabeths reign. Such poetry falls, roughly, into two classes, of which the two poets whose names give the title to this chapter are representative: Southwell of the purely religious poetry, Daniel of the humanistic and historical.
In purely religious poetry, the period was not rich. There were few poets who did not, at one time or another, write a religious poem; on the other hand, the whole body of religious verse, if collected, would not amount to a large total, and only one important poet of the age is, specifically, a religious poet. Round Robert Southwell, the Jesuit, in late Elizabethan days no less than in our own, floated a glamour due to the story of his life and death. Born in 1561, of an illegitimate branch of the old Catholic family of Southwell, probably at his fathers estate of Horsham St. Faith near Norwich, he is said to have been stolen from his cradle by a gypsy who was tempted by his uncommon beauty. At an early age, he came under the influence of the Jesuits, being sent to the college at Douay, and thence transferred to Paris. Thomas Darbyshire, his chief guide in Paris, had resigned, on Elizabeths accession, the archdeaconry of Essex which he had held under Mary. Southwell early showed an intense desire to belong to the Society of Jesus, and, after a period of probation which he found almost intolerably long, succeeded in making his own way to Rome, where he was admitted to the novitiate at the age of seventeen. At the end of his novitiate, he was appointed prefect of studies at the English college in Rome, a position which he held until, in 1586, he was selected to accompany Henry Garnett into England on the work of the English mission inaugurated by Parsons, and Edmund Campion in 1580. The call appeared to him to be an almost certain promise of the martyrdom on which his desires had long been set. Nevertheless, he carried on his perilous work in England for six years, before he was decoyed, in 1592, into the hands of the informer Topcliffe and imprisoned in Topcliffes house in Westminster. After thirteen applications of the torture and two years and a half of imprisonment, Southwell was executed at Tyburn, in February 1594/5.
It was in prison that his poems were mainly written. When poets sing of the shortness and the deceptive character of life, one is often tempted to wonder whether the sentiments are not the purely conventional utterances of men sitting at ease in comfortable homes, or merely signs of reaction from an excess of pleasure. From Southwells own statements, we know that his body never recovered from the tortures it had suffered, and, from his letters and journals, that such a death as he expected had long been his highest ambition. This certificate of sincerity, combined with a vivid imagination and an epigrammatic keenness of expression, imparts to his poems a brilliance only tempered by the sweetness of nature to which they, with everything we know of the poet, bear witness.
In writing his poetry, Southwell may be said to have had before him three motives: the expression of his own thoughts and feelings, to which life in prison gave no other outlet; the comfort and edification of his fellow Catholics; and a third, which gives them a peculiar literary interest. His poems were not published in his lifetime; but that he contemplated publication is clear from the letter to his cousin which prefaces
Saint Peters Complaint.
His object, like Miltons in the following century, was to rescue the art of poetry from the worldly uses to which it had been almost solely devoted.
Most poets, he writes, now busie themselves in expressing such passions as onely serve for testimonies to howe unworthy affections they have wedded their wills. And, because the best course to let them see the errour of their works is to weave a new webbe in their owne loome, I have here laide a few course threds together.
There can be no doubt that Southwell had read Shakespeares
Venus and Adonis,
which was published in 1593 and at once became the most popular poem of the day. He seems, indeed, to have regarded it as the capital instance of the poetry he wished to supplant. His
Saint Peters Complaint,
published in 1595, soon after his death, is written in the metre of Shakespeares poem, and the preliminary address from the author to the reader contains a line, Stil finest wits are stilling Venus rose, which may be a direct reference to it, and certainly would be considered so by Southwells readers. And, if Southwell had read Shakespeare, it is clear, from a number of interesting correspondences to be found in their works, that Shakespeare had read Southwell. At any rate, the attempt to give to sacred poetry the merit and charm of profane did not pass unnoticed.
Saint Peters Complaint
was attacked by Joseph Hall in his eighth satire in the line: Now good St. Peter weeps pure Helicon.
Saint Peters Complaint
is a long poem describing the incidents of the last days of the life of Christ, seen in the light of the remorse of the saint for having denied his Master; and its theme is chiefly remarkable for the great number and ingenuity of the conceits which it embodies. Comparisons, which must seem extravagant and far-fetched were they applied to any subject but the Redeemer, paradoxes and antitheses, which must seem affected were they not the only means of expressing the illimitable in terms of the finite, and, therefore, inevitable in dealing with the Incarnation, are heaped one upon another until the poem becomes a leading example of the poetical wit of the age. The paradox is inherent in the subject, being almost entirely theological and embodying the Catholic view of the nature of Christ and the eternal contrast between the reality of things spiritual and the unreality of the things of this world.
Southwell, almost certainly, was a student at first hand of the Italian poetry which had been the origin of the conceits then common in English poetry; and the effort to express the eternal through the imagery of the temporal was one which his church, even in her liturgies, has always sanctioned. The first line of a famous stanza in
Saint Peters Complaint,
for instance, in which the bloody sweat of Christ is compared to Fat soil, full spring, sweet olive, grape of bliss, has its theological origin in the litany of Loreto, while the remainder of the stanza, which works out the comparisons, could be paralleled in a hundred poems of the time. Another form of contrast beloved by Southwell is that between the old dispensation and the new; the idea, for instance, expressed in the hymn,
Ave maris Stella,
finds its counterpart in one of his poems dealing with the change of Eva to Ave.
To modern readers, however, and, especially, to modern readers other than Catholics, who may find these constant antithetical and paradoxical flights a little strange, Southwells shorter poems will appeal more strongly. Some of them are to be found at the end of
Saint Peters Complaint;
others were collected a few months later and published under the title
(1595). These, too are paradoxical: poems that deal with the nativity and the life on earth of Christ could hardly be anything else; but the shorter flight and the greater prominence of the poets lyrical power render the antitheses less noticeable. And one or two of them, when the chance occurs, are free from antithesis, and are content with a simple, but profound, symbolism. Such are the poems called
New Prince, New Pompe; New Heaven, New Warre;
or the finely imaginative and glowing little poem,
The Burning Babe,
of which Ben Jonson said to Drummond of Hawthornden that so he had written that piece of his,
The Burning Babe,
he would have been content to destroy many of his. Southwell is one of our few religious poets who have preferred the lyrical to the didactic manner, or, in being indirectly didactic (for
Saint Peters Complaint
draws a moral from every incident of the crucifixion), have maintained the lyric note. In the poem that was published eleven years after his death and of which a unique copy survives, the
Foure-fould Meditation of the foure last things,
the meditation, in particular, on the joys of heaven shows a power of sustained lyrical exaltation, which has all Crashaws force with more than Crashaws restraint. Southwells mind is, naturally in his circumstances, much occupied with thoughts of sin, death and judgment; but he writes on these subjects with vividness and originality; and his intellectual force and religious passion make his treatment of them very different from the somewhat commonplace, or jaded, reflections which are to be found in the song-books.
As a metrist, Southwells range is not wide. For his longer poems, he employs exclusively the decasyllabic line, arranged in stanzas of four or six. The metre of
Saint Peters Complaint,
admirably adapted for narrative or exposition, is one in which it is not easy to preserve the lyric exaltation; and Southwells power as a poet may be gauged by his success in this respect. In
The Burning Babe,
he uses the old fourteener line, and indulges in a good deal of alliteration; but it is almost surprising to observe how, in such hands as his, this much abused metre is capable of a force and sweetness which its earlier practitioners had very rarely achieved. His language is simple and easy, though he has an affection for one or two archaic words; and he makes sparing use of words derived from Latin.
Note 1

The Best Three-Row Crossovers: A List of Our Favorites
If you're interested in a new family car, chances are good that you'll be considering a few three-row crossovers. Three-row SUVs and crossovers have become very popular in recent years, given their unmatched practicality and ample interior room for the whole family, plus a few friends. The sheer number of choices in the three-row-crossover world means that picking the right one can be difficult. Fortunately, we're here to help steer you in the right direction by listing some of our favorite three-row SUVs and crossovers.
Chevrolet Tahoe
Given its massive size and mediocre fuel economy, the newly redesigned Chevrolet Tahoe isn't for everyone. But drivers who want their next family vehicle to have everything -- cargo capacity, interior room and towing capabilities -- will want to take a long look at the Tahoe. Not only does it boast each of those three items, it also includes a new 355-horsepower 5.3-liter V8 that's mated to a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission. Our only gripe is price: Given the Tahoe's recent redesign, don't expect much of a discount from its starting figure of around $45,500 with shipping.

Chevrolet Traverse
The Chevrolet Traverse offers an alternative to the larger Tahoe for drivers who prioritize fuel economy and a carlike ride over V8 muscle and towing capacity. While it still offers three-row seating, the Traverse uses a 281-hp 3.6-liter V6 in place of the Tahoe's big V8 and a car-based chassis instead of the Tahoe's trucklike body-on-frame construction. The Traverse also features a long list of parent-friendly safety features, ranging from forward-collision alert and lane-departure warning systems to parking-lot-friendly rear cross-traffic alert. Best of all, shoppers on a budget will appreciate the Traverse's reasonable starting price of less than $32,000 with shipping.

Dodge Durango
If you like the Jeep Grand Cherokee but bemoan its lack of a third row, the larger Dodge Durango is the SUV for you. Featuring much of the same equipment as the Grand Cherokee, including its excellent Uconnect infotainment system, the Durango boasts three-row seating and a reasonable base price of around $31,000. It also offers two potent engines. While we like the 5.7-liter HEMI V8, we'd probably stick with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, which returns up to 25 miles per gallon in highway driving. And before you say it, don't worry: The latest Durango isn't like previous versions of the SUV. Instead, it boasts a more refined cabin, excellent ride quality and surprisingly tight handling.
Ford Explorer
The Ford Explorer remains one of the best three-row crossovers on the market for its ability to combine handsome looks, reasonable pricing, high-quality materials and desirable features. While a few convenience features -- including automatic headlights and full power accessories -- are included in its starting price of around $31,000, drivers looking to add items such as Bluetooth and the brand's Sync infotainment system don't have to spend too much in order to upgrade. We also like the standard 290-hp V6, which delivers excellent acceleration and up to 24 mpg in highway driving.
Hyundai Santa Fe
The latest Hyundai Santa Fe comes in two flavors: a smaller, two-row model dubbed the Sport, and a larger, three-row version called simply the Santa Fe. That's the one we're recommending, largely because it offers excellent styling, lots of desirable features and a roomy cabin with standard three-row seating, all for around $31,000 with shipping. There's also a 3.3-liter V6 that makes a muscular 290 hp and still manages to return up to 25 mpg on the highway. Rounding out the Santa Fe's list of positive attributes is Hyundai's long warranty, which lasts for 10 years or 100,000 miles for the crossover's engine, or five years and 60,000 miles for everything else.

Mazda CX-9
The Mazda CX-9 manages to bring a little sport to the world of the sport utility. Offering handsome styling and expressive handling, the CX-9 boasts an eager 3.7-liter V6 that puts out 273 hp. Also included is a smooth automatic transmission and a surprisingly roomy third-row seat with easy access and room for adults. Maybe our only gripe is the CX-9's age, which is starting to show in items such as its outdated center-mounted touchscreen and its mediocre crash-test ratings. Still, we think the CX-9 is worth a spot on your shopping list, especially given its base price of less than $31,000 with shipping.
Nissan Pathfinder
The Nissan Pathfinder is one of our favorite new crossovers. One reason is its excellent interior, which also includes many standard features such as tri-zone automatic climate control, remote keyless entry and 18-in alloy wheels. We also like the Pathfinder's engine, which makes a brawny 260 hp and still allows the crossover to beat 20 mpg in city driving. Pricing is reasonable, too, as the Pathfinder starts around $30,000 with shipping, or $36,000 for the new Pathfinder Hybrid, which returns 25 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. The Pathfinder Hybrid also includes luxurious features such as a rearview camera, Bluetooth, a 7-in touchscreen and keyless entry and ignition.

Toyota Highlander
The all-new Toyota Highlander offers a completely new look for the 2014 model year. But don't let the bolder styling throw you off: The latest Highlander still includes all of the things that we've appreciated about the crossover for the last 10 years. There's reasonable pricing that starts around $30,000, excellent gas mileage -- whether you choose the 4-cylinder or the optional V6 -- and traditional Toyota durability. The Highlander also impresses us with its long list of standard features, which includes items such as automatic headlights, a backup camera, a 6.1-in central touchscreen and Bluetooth. Our only gripe relates to the third row, which isn't quite as roomy as the rear seat in some larger rivals.
