Fifty-one years ago President Kennedy shocked the world when he revealed reconnaissance photos of Soviet missile launch sites in Cuba. Today, I can browse satellite images of the same locations from the comfort of my sofa on Google Earth. This once top secret capability has become democratized and available to all. At some point, today's top secret technology will also be accessible from your sofa.
In the same way that few people use Google Earth to search for Cuban missile bases, the average citizen is unlikely to be concerned with identifying enemies of the state. However, the digital, networked world makes it increasingly difficult for us to keep track of the trustworthiness of people that we may need to rely on. This human need to know someone's reputation is very relevant in a networked world, in which we may never meet our closest collaborators, and may provide a strong impetus to drive the creation of a democratized data gathering system.
In retrospect, the forces that drove the democratization of satellite imagery are clear: the development of digital camera technology, the development of privatized satellite launches, and the development of the Internet to deliver images to users.
With some thought we can discern some of the long-term forces that are currently in play.
Who do you trust?
In our ancestors' villages everyone knew everyone else. The whole village knew who was trustworthy and who was not, who was skillful and who was not. If you needed someone to help you with a task, you knew who to turn to. As digital technology shrinks the world to make a global village, keeping track of others' reputation becomes tricky. With so many people to keep track of, the task becomes too much for our human capacities. Yet to collaborate in a digital world we need to be able to judge if we can trust a potential collaborator -- even if we will never physically meet them.
As governments implement systems to keep track of individuals to estimate if they are a risk to national security, we can envisage how this technology will become democratized. We can imagine systems that keep track of others' reputation to determine if they pose a risk to us through violence or fraud, if they are likely to assist us to help us achieve our goals, or if we are likely to be able to help them achieve their goals.
In a similar way as our ancestors' reputation spread within their villages, our digital reputations will be known to all. A reputation is likely to encompass the knowledge that we hold, our past deeds, the reputation of those with whom we keep company, and the opinions that others hold of us. Comprehensibly gathering such information and keeping the data accurate is within the reach of nation states, and before too long will be within the reach of private citizens.
We can already see antecedents of such functionality in the like button of Facebook, the recommendation system of Linkedin, or the crowd-sourced recommendations supplied by TripAdvisor. Our peers are able to show their approval or disapproval of our actions and display their judgements of us for others to see. We may choose to keep certain aspects of our life private, but we cannot keep private our public deeds and achievements, nor can we keep private the opinions that others may hold of us.
The changes brought by technology create many challenges for society and our individual need to manage our relationships with others. Conversely, the lack of knowledge about an individual's reputation exposes us to danger, such as fraud or engaging in personal or professional relationships that might do us harm.
The good news is that just as technology exposes us to these problems, it can also bring solutions. Governments are investing in vast data-gathering systems to identify individuals who pose a risk to society. The march of technology suggests that these systems that only governments possess today will be available to all of us in the future. In a global, digital village, reputation, integrity, and honor will be everything. As we begin the new year, it's time to ensure that our digital reputation reflects upon us well.

The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

Hong Kong hospital reports possible airborne influenza transmission
Direct contact and droplets are the primary ways influenza spreads. Under certain conditions, however, aerosol transmission is possible. In a study published in the current issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases, available online (http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1086/656743), the authors examined such an outbreak in their own hospital in Hong Kong. On April 4, 2008, seven inpatients in the hospital's general medical ward developed fever and respiratory symptoms. Ultimately, nine inpatients exhibited influenza-like symptoms and tested positive for influenza A. The cause of the outbreak was believed to be an influenza patient who was admitted on March 27. He received a form of non-invasive ventilation on March 31, and was then moved to the intensive care unit after 16 hours. During that time, he was located right beside the outflow jet of an air purifier, which created an unopposed air current across the ward.
"We showed that infectious aerosols generated by a respiratory device applied to an influenza patient might have been blown across the hospital ward by an imbalanced indoor airflow, causing a major nosocomial outbreak," said study author Nelson Lee, MD, of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. "The spatial distribution of affected patients was highly consistent with an aerosol mode of transmission, as opposed to that expected from droplet transmission.
"Suitable personal protective equipment, including the use of N95 respirators, will need to be considered when aerosol-generating procedures are performed on influenza patients," Dr. Lee added. "Avoiding such procedures in open wards and improving ventilation design in health care facilities may also help to reduce the risk of nosocomial transmission of influenza."

BEST BETS: "Jessica Jones," "Big Trouble/Escape from New York" & More October 2016 Highlights
Comic Books
Fans of Linda Medley's Castle Waiting have had to be very patient, as there was a four-year gap between the release of the first volume in 2006 and the second in 2010. Last year, three more chapters were released as single issues that finished the story of volume 2, and Fantagraphics published the work anew as a "definitive edition."
This week, the Fantagraphics blog updated Medley fans with news that she's back at work on Castle Waiting, drawing storyboards for the third volume — although the publisher can't say yet in what format the new story will be released.
And there's more: Medley has also dusted off an unfinished project, Twelve Witches, a Castle Waiting spinoff for younger readers. As she explained in this 1999 interview, it's based on the characters in her first comic The Curse of Brambly Hedge, which was originally published with the support of a Xeric grant. (Another interesting tidbit from that interview: Medley was a penciler for Justice League of America and Doom Patrol, both very different from her current work.)
Fantagraphics has posted some penciled pages from Twelve Witches on its Tumblr.
Welcome to Food or Comics?, where every week we talk about what comics we'd buy at our local comic shop based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a splurge item.
Check out Diamond's release list or ComicList, and tell us what you're getting in our comments field.
Chris Arrant
If I had $15, my Wednesday haul would start with Glory #30 (Image, $3.99). This series has been great, and since Kris Anka began doing covers, it's gone to very great. Now, seeing New Yorker cartoonist Roman Muradov coming in to do a story makes it potentially even more, well, great. I'm psyched to see Glory face off against her sister, and Campbell's depiction of both has been mesmerizing. Next I'd pick up Comeback #1 (Image, $3.50), featuring letterer Ed Brisson making his major writing debut. The cover design by Michael Walsh is impeccable, and the concept of time traveling for grieving loved ones is a fascinating concept. Next up, I'd get a Marvel double – Wolverine and the X-Men #21 (Marvel, $3.99) and Hawkeye #4 (Marvel, $2.99). This carnie issue of Wolverine and the X-Men is intriguing; it's going out on a limb, but after what Jason Aaron and Nick Bradshaw have done so far, I trust them. With Hawkeye, I'm slightly hesitant to pick up an issue knowing David Aja isn't drawing it, but Javier Pulido has the potential to be an ideal temporary substitute.
If I had $30, I'd look back on my $15 and reluctantly put Hawkeye #4 back on the shelf to free up money for Derek Kirk Kim's Tune, Book 1: Vanishing Point (First Second, $16.99). Man oh man, do I love Kim's work, and seeing the previews for this online makes me see a honing of the artist's style akin to the way Bryan O'Malley did between Lost At Sea and Scott Pilgrim. Count me in.
If I could splurge, I'd take a chance on the anthology Digestate (Birdcage Bottom Books, $19.95). I'm no foodie like C.B. Cebulski, but I like food and I like anthologies so this is right up my alley; especially when the chefs include Jeffrey Brown and Liz Prince. Where's my order?
Now available On Demand, the documentary Comic Book Independents by director Chris Brandt receives wider distribution at an interesting time. In the midst of a migration of comic book creators from work-for-hire to creator-owned projects, and just as a renewed discussion about creator rights gains momentum, this documentary offers fascinating insight on what it means to go it alone in comics.
It's not your usual comics documentary, and if you're a creative type yourself, or are interested by those who are, you'll probably find yourself inspired. Framed by information from cognitive psychologist Dr. James Kaufman, the human process of creativity as it is realized in comics is broken down and explored by some of the art form's most interesting thinkers and voices.
Welcome to Food or Comics?, where every week we talk about what comics we'd buy at our local comic shop based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a splurge item.

Chris Mautner
If I had $15, a new Peter Bagge comic is always cause for celebration, so my first grab would be for Reset #1, Bagge's new limited series having to do with virtual reality and the opportunity it affords a washed-up comedian to fix his past mistakes. And then there's Linda Medley, who's been laying low for awhile, but is back this week with a new issue of her ongoing, low-key fantasy series, Castle Waiting. These will probably be the first comics I read once I get home from the comic store this week.
If I had $30, I've already gone on about The Shark King, R. Kikuo Johnson's warm and charming all-ages story based on a Hawaiian folk tale of a shark god and his half-human, mischievous progeny. It's a lovely little book that I thoroughly recommend checking out even if you don't have any kids in your home.
There's also a number of notable manga out this week so I'd likely pick up one of the following: Either the latest volume of 20th Century Boys, the latest volume of Gantz or volume 2 of Katsuya Terada's The Monkey King. There's been a bit of a wait (seven years) for that last one, which is a gonzo, sex-and-violence rendition of the classic Journey to the West myth.
It's not so much a splurge as a must-buy for me — Krazy and Ignatz 1922-24: At Last My Drim of Love Has Come True is the final volume in Fantagraphics' collection of Sunday Krazy strips and full of the same George Herriman magic as the previous volumes. There's a tinge of sadness here as I believe the late Bill Blackbeard, who helped bring this project into fruition, has an essay here, as well as a remembrance by Kim Thompson.

People trying to sell their vehicles on street sides in
Cromwell have officially been warned the activity violates
the Central Otago District Council's Trading in Public Places
Council planning and environment manager Louise van der Voort
said the number of vehicles advertised for sale and parked on
Cromwell roadsides, particularly near the pool on Barry Ave,
had ''generated some complaints'' in recent weeks.
She said notices informing people of the bylaw had been
placed on the vehicles and it had then become apparent that
''not everybody was aware of our bylaw''.
In one day, council officers had placed 11 notices on cars in
''They were all removed quite quickly, all that day.''
The bylaw states: ''No person shall in any public place
engage in, trade or expose for sale any goods or services of
any description without having first obtained a licence from
the council.''
When notices are left on the vehicles, the registration
numbers and vehicle details are recorded and if they are
found to be still advertised for sale in that or another
place, under the bylaw, the council can take enforcement
Ms van der Voort said that could involve taking people to
court, although that had not happened before.
She said it was a district-wide bylaw and, in the past, there
had been similar problems with vehicles parked on Centennial
Ave in Alexandra.
• Cromwell residents were also reminded of the council's dog
control policy after the council received several complaints
about dogs in the town's mall and in Old Cromwell. Dogs are
prohibited in both those areas.

Theorem. If a set $E \subset \mathbb{R}$ is disconnected, then there exist $x, y \in E$, and some $z \in \mathbb{R} \setminus E$ with $x < z < y$.
I want to prove this theorem using the following definition of disconnectedness:
Definition. A subset $E$ of a metric space $X$ is disconnected if there exist $U, V \subset X$ such that:
- $U$ and $V$ are open relative to $X$ (meaning every point of $U / V$ has some neighborhood which is completely contained in $U / V$)
- $E \subset U \cup V$
- $E \cap U \neq \emptyset$ and $E \cap V \neq \emptyset$
- $E \cap U \cap V = \emptyset$
Here's what I have so far:
There must be some $x \in E \cap U$, and some $y \in E \cap V$ (since they are nonempty), and we assume without loss of generality that $x < y$. Now let $z = $???

The Ginsu Story
Known for decades as a maker of very sharp knives, Ginsu got its start as one of the first items to gain popularity by selling via infomercial in the 1970s. But wait, there's more- The Ginsu brand has evolved to create incredibly sharp, technologically superior cutlery with the highest quality standards. Ginsu draws from the ancient Japanese methods of Samurai sword smiths to produce the same level of precision and craftsmanship in our contemporary knives. The always sharp blades and beautifully shaped, ergonomic handles have gained respect from generations of consumers, making Ginsu one of the most well-known names in cutlery.

Update on Sept 30, 2007:
After 6 months of use, I still stand by my review. The sharpness is intact and there are no rust spots at all. Very pleased with the quality and super low price. I regret not picking more of these from Sears Clearance, where I bought them for less than $20.
Update on Nov 26, 2010:
Just wanted to give a quick update that these knives are still performing great.
Sept 28, 2011:
Still going strong. No issues. No rust. the two knives that we use every single day, have lost some of their sharpness, but they still have few more years left in them.
I love the fact that the knives are sharp right out the box. Many people swear by their forged knife blades but that makes the knives heavier. I have another set from Pinzon (Amazon's brand) and yet another from Cuisinart that I barely use as they are heavier and not as sharp as these knives. I think stamped blades are great as they are lighter and thinner like these Ginsu knives. If you cut vegetables more than meat then you need knives like these. For meat you need heavier blades with more balance and "brute force". For slicing a tomato so fine that you can see through it you need a Ginsu. With a Ginsu in your hand you'll end up sculpting roses from your radishes!
Update 11/5/08: I have been using these knives for 1.5 years now. They're still doing fine and are still very sharp. I regularly throw them in the dishwasher and they have not shown any signs of rusting. I love these knives and miss them if I am cooking somewhere else. I use the steak knives as everyday knives for slicing veggies and they work very well. If I ever purchase another set I will go with Ginsu again.
Update: 8/27/2013: Still using these knives after 6 years. Still going strong and are pretty sharp. Although we took to using some as box cutters and for other reasons and lost a few of the steak knives. Luckily, Amazon sells steak knives separately in packs of 4 Ginsu Essential Series 4-Piece 4.5-Inch Stainless Steel Steak Knife Set with Triple Riveted Polymer Handles 4805 so I ordered more.
Yes, these are at the lower end and there are undoubtedly much better (and more expensive) sets out there.
But these feel OK, are very sharp (as other reviewers reported), seem to be sufficiently sturdy, and have ably carried out the various mundane tasks we've put them to.
For $24.99, what a value!!!
Update 11/21/08: We've had these 2 years now. The very sharp edges have gone, but the steak knives still are OK cutting, not great. But, I never sharpen them. I don't like the long thin knife (it's not serrated, so not a bread knife): the blade isn't stiff enough. (Hey, we're talking less than $30 for the set!) I really don't use the others.
I liked the steak knives so well that I ordered a second set of just them. It's a little weird at first doing paring with a serrated blade, but then you get used to it.
I'm still very pleased with the purchase overall and regard it, even as the price has increased a few dollars, as a true bargain.

Death and immortality ideologies in Western philosophy

This article examines immortality ideologies in Western philosophy as exemplified in the writings of Descartes, Heidegger, and Derrida, showing in each instance the distinctiveness of the ideology. The distinctiveness is doubly significant: it broadens understandings of the nature of immortality ideologies generally and deepens comparative understandings of the ideologies of the philosophers discussed. Pertinent writings of Otto Rank, the psychiatrist who first wrote of immortality ideologies, contribute in fundamental ways to the discussion as do pertinent writings of cultural anthropologist Ernest Becker, who elaborated and publicized Rank's thesis concerning immortality ideologies. The notion of an ideology, clarified in the beginning as an empirically unfounded belief structure, hence an illusion, is taken up briefly but pointedly at the end in the context of Rank's distinction between rational and irrational elements of the self as they are played out in the creations of the hero-artist. The article ends by examining his distinction in the context of the philosophic perspectives discussed, most notably the perspective of Heidegger.

I just got off the phone with a friend who informed me that:
"I dont need a relationship. Im not alone. I have children and should solely focus on them."
The tone of the conversation is that Im being selfish by wanting to meet someone and have a healthy normal romantic relationship .... I made it clear I wasnt planning on introducing my children to anyone, but that I would like to have an aspect of my life thats not "motherhood" related.
She is currently living with her boyfriend who is not the father of her child. So ... she should be able to understand this.
What do you all think?
Selfish or Normal?
DML: Single Moms Should Not Seek Out a Romantic Relationship
I agree with lots of PPs .... I took a long time (from Sept 2011 to now) to even consider any relationship. Ive worked hard at figuring out the coparenting thing ... Learned how to "do it all" and am very involved in my kids lives ... Ive even bought my own house, we are quite settled and happy (for about 6 months now) ...
Hes a great guy that Ive been friends with for over a year. He did meet the kids last summer, but only once in passing (I ran into him) So he knows I have kids, but I do not think hes "out to get them through me" ... I know there are bad seeds out there, but I also do not plan on introducing him to my children ANY TIME soon ... I figure, actually, that Ill see him while they are not home... I dont think its any of my childrens buisness that Im dating. I dont want to expose them to anyone either adn then it ends in a break up. Thats not fair to them. He knows I have kids, but unless it becomes a "we might get married" thign .... he doesnt need to meet them.
A happy Mommy makes a happy baby. I say date! Who gives a shit what your friend says. It's not her life.

10 years ago today on 9/11/2001, I was there. I was confused, lost, frightened. Frozen.
And just months ago on 5/22/2011, I was not there (at least not in person). But I was, once again, confused, lost, and frightened. For some reason, however, I was not frozen.
Measured in time, the difference between these two dates is nine years, eight months and 11 days. Measured in distance, the difference is approximately 1,300 miles. Measured in the minds of NYC Expats, the difference was unexplainably complex. And in my personal response, the difference was unpredictably dramatic.
Just after 9:15am on 9/11, I stepped out of a crowded subway station just a mile away from Ground Zero. Like a paused scene from a zombie movie, thousands of New Yorkers provided an unbelievable juxtaposition: they packed the city streets, yet kept it quiet enough to hear a pin drop. They stood still, looking up at the Twin Towers with their mouths open in awe.
I finally went inside my office building just minutes before the towers collapsed. Therefore, I only witnessed the aftermath.
On 5/22/2011 my adventure began while I rested on my comfy couch 1,300 miles away from Freeman Hospital. The scene of my wife and me isolated in our apartment provided a stark contrast to the scene of me in a city crowd on 9/11.
In the aftermath of 9/11 my family was frantically calling me, unable to get through.
In the aftermath of the Joplin tornado I became the panicked one, making nearly 50 phone calls in fewer than 30 minutes.
On 9/11, with the phone lines down, Internet not loading, and work cancelled for the day, I did what I thought any tough juvenile would do: I faked calm, collected swagger. I grabbed a friend and we simply walked into the clouds of Ground Zero. We got close enough to be turned away by security guards covered in ash. We just walked back home.
On 5/22 I was far from the disaster, and felt helpless. But was aggressively seeking an outlet. I was so physically distant that my emotional proximity was magnified. Gone was the little boy who only thought about volunteering on 9/12/2001. Gone were his apathetic attempts at calming his family, and his general lack of understanding of how and even if he could help.
Perhaps subconsciously, the witnessing of a changed world in the years after 9/11 made him realize the necessity of more caring behavior. The entire country's collective 9/11 experience had triggered a more aware and empathetic response, from both him and the entire world.
A detractor may say it was simply an increase in age and the supposed accompanying maturity. He or she may also say it was most likely as simple as Facebook being invented, allowing immediate, worldwide, reliable contact with real people as they experienced the situation.
But times had changed. I had changed. The years of involuntary guilt for doing too little in NYC after 9/11, and for being so distant from my home town for over a decade, had turned me into a panicked yet much more productive philanthropist.
Both cities were unified by tragedy. Both cities unified a world through tragedy. And the tragedies together changed me.
As the videos below prove, 9/11 in New York, and 5/22 in Joplin both are heart-wrenching to witness, no matter how far you are, or how long it has been. Time and distance are said to heal wounds. In this case, time and distance exposed the wounds.

How to Position Yourself as an Expert
Q: I own a flower shop that is very well-known in my town because I provide my customers with background information about the flowers they buy (e.g. origin, symbolism, etc.). I plan to launch a website to help me grow my customer base. I want to build a personal brand so people will one day see me as "the" expert in the flower market. What are some marketing and media strategies and tools that I can use to become a niche expert in my field and get my expertise out to the masses?
—Trisha, N.Y.
A: As the creator of your service, you know that you offer your niche marketplace valuable insight and advice. However, simply proclaiming that you are an expert will get you nowhere. It's not enough to just shamelessly pimp your own service; you also need to become a leading authority for your target customers.
My advice: Devise your own moniker for marketing and public-relations purposes. Perhaps you want to be known as "The Flower Gal" or "Ms. Flower Power." The media loves to work with branded personalities.
Second, be authentic. Authenticity builds credibility. Don't speak down to your customers; relate to them. Whenever and wherever possible, tell the story of how your service was founded. What problems did you encounter? How did you solve them? Give people a reason to listen to you by offering value to their lives with relevant and targeted information.

Scott Gerber is a serial entrepreneur, syndicated columnist and author of "Never Get a 'Real' Job." He is the founder of the Young Entrepreneur Council, a nonprofit led by young entrepreneurs who take action against unemployment through programs and initiatives for starting a business.
Once you've perfected your message, syndicate your way to success by distributing content through the "expert" media outlets that target your niche marketplace, such as blogs, forums, press releases, newsletters, Web video and podcasts. Find guest-blogging opportunities by reaching out to like-minded websites and offering your services at no charge. Build online communities centered on your expertise. Remember, no one knows your marketplace better than you.
Here's more advice from members of the Young Entrepreneur Council:

This is a question about a best practice. It's probably simple but I'm still fairly new with Git, and I'd like to get good habits for things I do frequently.
The situation is the following. I have two computers CompA and CompB, and a remote repository (on Bitbucket). Let's say I work on a unique branch.
I need to make a big change on a file. I start from Computer A, but I do not have time to finish, and will need to carry on my work on Computer B. I'd like to make available to Computer B the changes already made on Computer A.
I usually do it by committing the changes as they are, pushing to remote repo, then pulling them to Computer B. However, this creates a commit which is not a full self-sufficient set of changes.
If possible I would like to have only one commit with the final set of changes. At least in the remote repo, if possible, also in the local repos of computers A and B.
What is the cleanest way to do this?

HOT STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used 2 whole UNseeded jalapenos, and 4 Thai peppers. In place of the shallots a 1/2 vidalia onion, skipped the oil to keep it fat free, and the shrimp paste was omitted for the salt intake is not needed in my families health life styles. And I must say was not missed at all. It`s amazing how the aroma and flavor is like our favorite Thai restaurant! Thanks for the goodness!

Alaska is America's last frontier, with landscapes that stretch out seemingly to infinity. From the lush rain forests of Southeast to the vast, flat tundra in the north, you can stare in awe at the same things that take an Alaskan's breath away: calving glaciers, volcanic valleys, jagged sea cliffs, the northern lights, and more. Here you can kayak to icebergs, fly over the highest peak in North America, stay out all night celebrating the midnight sun, and spot wildlife from eagles to whales. For lovers of nature, few places exhilarate like Alaska.

Have just installed WordPress on 1and1.
Having been recommended this plugin by a friend, and using it myself on other blogs, tried to put it on here, the downloading and install online didn't work, so I downloaded the file and uploaded it manually.
However, with the plugin activated, the dashboard doesn't load properly and I can't turn off 'The latest news from Yoast' widget, where it breaks.
Any solutions?

In Moira's case notes on the flash drive, it says that she was controlling Chloe through Chloe's personal possession (the necklace). Given the obvious and realized potential for mayhem this could cause, why would they let Moira keep it?
In this episode, we find out that Lana was never pregnant, but she's taken to the hospital with Lex's knowledge and he would know they would do blood test, yet he doesn't take any precautions.
Trivia: Among the items in Moira's file are her birthdate of September 20, 1960 (Lynda Carter was born July 24, 1951) and the fact she "may be the key to finalizing Project Ares."
Once again, Gabe Sullivan is inexplicably absent from the episode. He's neither present when Moira commits herself, nor does anyone have any interest in setting up a meeting between himself and his briefly-not-catatonic wife at the end.
For some reason Lex goes the low-tech route at the beginning. He doesn't use a CD player, a satellite radio, or an iPod when he's driving. He also doesn't use a hands-free cell phone.
When Clark arrives at Chloe's apartment in the morning, he simply knocks and enters. Rudeness aside, there's no indication the door is locked. Given the number of times Chloe has been attacked and kidnapped, this seems unusual.
Why is Clark driving Chloe to work? It's a three-hour drive to Metropolis and back, and he's the only one running the Kent farm. Does he really have this much spare time, particularly when Chloe could drive herself?
How does Moira know what a flash drive is, or that Lex carries it on his person? She's been catatonic for 12 years, but she apparently gives Chloe very specific mental commands to recover it.
What happened to the escaped patient? Last we see, Chloe is interrogating him. He knows Clark has superpowers and even if Lex was lying about the psychopathic part, like most krypto-mutants he may very well have had psychological issues that made him dangerous to the public.
How does Lex know that Chloe is leaving town? If he doesn't, that means he had construction crews placed on every possible route out of Smallville to intercept her then use her as a hostage against her mother. That seems a bit... conspicuous for a secret master plan, as well as overly complicated.
Who is driving the truck that runs Lex off the road? If it is Chloe where did she get the truck? She may have stole it "under the influence" but if so no subsequent reference is made to a stolen car, either by Chloe or Lex later when he's citing the incriminating evidence against her.
Just before the Lex and Moira meeting, she is shown briefly through the window from the corridor, sitting in the bed, covered with blanket. Right in the next scene, when Lex steps into the room and starts talking to her, she is sitting in a made bed with a bowl of fruits on it.
Lex comes in to see Lana, who is just waking up... with perfect makeup.
Whose truck is Clark and Chloe driving when they see Lex's car in the field? It's a high-end expensive model, Clark works at a modest farm, and Chloe is low on the totem pole at the Daily Planet. Neither one has that kind of money, and it's pretty unlikely Martha Kent would supply it (remember what Jonathan said about giving Clark a truck as a gift) even if she had that kind of money as a state senator.
In the final scene of the fifth season episode "Tomb", Chloe visits her mom at the psychiatric hospital (they cared enough to use the same stock footage for the building). Chloe's mother was then played by a different actress and only seen from behind, but her hair was clearly blond. In this episode, Chloe's mother (now played by Lynda Carter) is a brunette, both in 1995 and present day.
Moira says that making Chloe wash her hands raw was the last thing she did before being voluntarily committed. And Chloe said that after that incident, she had to wear bandages on her hands for awhile, but 8-year-old Chloe didn't have any bandages on her hands when her mother was taken away at the beginning of the episode.
After Lex is run off the road Chloe hits him in the head and knocks him out. Later, when he visits Lana at home he has a bandage on a cut located over his left eye. In the next scene, he visits Chloe's mother and there is no bandage and no cut visible at all over his left eye.
Before Lex is run off the road he is shown driving his car, tuning his radio. He finds an FM radio station at 87.7 mHz. Although car radios can tune in to channels that low, the FM radio band begins at 88.1 mHz. There are no radio stations licensed anywhere in the US at 87.7 mHz.
Lex: Well clearly Chloe gets her brazenness from her mother's side, but as meddlesome as she can be I've actually come to admire her.
Chloe: (about her mom) She's never going to get to know the person I've become.
Clark: It's a good thing I told her.
Chloe: You did?
Clark: After I brought your mom to Oliver's apartment I gave her the complete Chloe Sullivan bio.
Chloe: Lex came to talk to me, Clark. Basically he said it's kill or be killed.
Clark: He threatened you?
Chloe: I'm in his crosshairs.
Clark: Yeah, well now he's in mine.
Clark: (about Lex) You're right. He'd feed (Lana) to the lions just to spite me. But it's inevitable. The war is about to begin.
Lex: This man is a violent psychopath.
Moira: Good for him. What does that have to do with me?
Chloe: Lex, I'm tired of playing hardball, or softball, or any ball for that matter. Game's over.
Chloe: My mother sacrificed everything to protect the world from scum like you. And if taking you down means spending some quality time behind bars, sign me up.
Lex: You know, I thought you might say that. That's why there's a plan B firmly in place... a plan that makes prison look like a picnic.
Moira: There's nothing to demonstrate. I've never been able to control anybody but Chloe.
Lex: Well, there's a first time for everything.
The following scenes didn't make it into the episode:
- Clark thanks Martha for saving him from the Kryptonite and for being there for him.
- Lana hasn't told anyone about the baby, but tells Lex she will put more committment into their marriage.

Lynda Carter is no stranger to superheroes, having played Wonder Woman in the 1976-79 series of the same name.
When this episode airs on The CW, it ends with Erica Durance giving a brief tribute to Dana Reeve, who passed away March 6, 2006. Contact information for the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation was given, offering Superman tags with the money going to fund treatment for paralysis.
On this episode's premiere, a commercial was run for "Smallville Legends: Justice & Doom," a CWTV-sponsored on-line game. The advertisement featured the static-panel cartoon adventures of Green Arrow, Flash, Cyborg, and Aquaman, with Chloe providing computer assistance as they take down the 33.1 lab at Corto Maltese. Clark and Dr. Virgil Swann are both mentioned. The comic/game is the first of five "missions" in the on-line mystery/game.
Lynda Carter is billed as Special Guest Star.
John Glover and Erica Durance are credited, but neither appear in this episode.
Chloe: I'm the road warrior. Let's face it; I'm guilty as charged.
Road Warrior is a reference to Mel Gibson's sequal Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior a post- apocalyptic science fiction movie where cities are in ruins and wars rage on the roads.
Chloe: So, do we know who Racer X is?
This is a reference to the Cartoon Speed Racer. Racer X was a mysterious masked racer who would help Speed out in various ways. Unknowingly to Speed, it was actually his brother who had mysteriously disappeared.

Students and Teachers dressed up in costumes like Thing 1, Thing 2, the Cat in the Hat and other Dr. Suess characters. Students were divided into multi-age groups and rotated to five Dr. Suess activity stations, where they drew the Cat in the Hat and completed a "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish" craft. They also played Dr. Seuss bingo with characters from different books by Dr. Seuss. A favorite part of the day was eating green eggs and ham while watching a video about the life of Dr. Seuss.

Delayed Walking and Other Foot and Leg Problems in Babies
In this article
When Baby Walks on Tiptoes
Toe walking is common for most babies as they take their first steps. Walking on tiptoes should disappear by the time a child is between ages 2 and 3. Many babies practice walking on tiptoe as they are first learning to walk. Only later, after 6 to 12 months or so of practice, will they learn to walk with a mature heel-to-toe gait.
Usually walking on tiptoes is not a problem. But if toe walking persists beyond the age of 2 or is done constantly, see your child's doctor for advice. Persistent toe walking, or toe walking on only one foot, can be a sign of a central nervous system problem and should be evaluated.
Can Flat Feet Delay Walking?
Just about every baby has flat feet at birth. It takes time for the foot's natural arch to develop. Flat feet rarely cause any problem with walking and often disappear by ages 2 or 3. Extremely flat feet can make your baby's ankles appear to bend inward as he or she walks. This happens if the arches don't fully develop to realign the foot and ankle. Treatment is rarely needed except in the most severe cases, and is not generally considered until a child grows past the early infant years. A tendency to flat feet can run in families.
How Serious Is Hip Dysplasia in a Baby?
During the first year of life, a condition called developmental hip dysplasia may appear. This condition causes a baby's hips to develop in the wrong location because of overly relaxed ligaments and joints. Hip dysplasia can lead to delayed walking or other walking problems. That's because a dislocated hip can cause pain that's made worse during weight-bearing. Developmental hip dysplasia is a general term for any number of problems with a baby's hips. This can be found in about five of every thousand newborns. Only about one in 1,000, though, actually has a hip dislocation. At birth the hips and ligaments may be initially unstable on examination but most quickly resolve in the first weeks.

Last Updated: 02/05/12 3:46pm
Full-time: Time for one last effort from Huth as he blasts a shot from a free-kick that deflects into the arms of Howard. That's it though, Stoke doing enough to get back into it and they were just about value for the point thanks to the impact of goalscorer Cameron Jerome and fellow substitute striker Ricardo Fuller.
Final chance for Stoke as the ball bounces in the Everton box but Jones fires over. Slight deflection not spotted by the referee.
Pienaar spreads the play to Distin and his cross finds Jelavic, whose ap shot is mishit and drifts wide.
Long ball from Begovic finds Jones with the flick-on and Fuller has a bit of space in the left channel. But the striker slips as he swings at it with his left boot and the moment has gone.
Whelan tries to loft a free-kick into the box but overhits it and the ball runs out for a goal kick.
Pienaar and Osman controlling the game as Stoke sit deeper and deeper. Jelavic does well down the left and stands the cross up only for Cahill and Fellaini to get in each other's way just six yards out.
Pienaar pulls the ball back for Osman on the edge of the box but his shot is deflected and is easily claimed by Begovic.
Stracqualursi away down the right immediately but he is short of options in the box and cannot find a yellow Everton shirt.
Tricks from Fuller with his first touch. That's got the crowd involved - with his second touch he skins two Everton defenders and wins a corner off the third. These changes proving very effective and extremely popular.
Everton on the attack again through Hibbert and the visitors have a corner. Jagielka can only head the ball over though.
Jerome continuing to impress. He's had a run at Distin down the right now and seems to be causing all sorts of problems.
Powerful play from Jerome. He was running at two Everton defenders from the halfway line. Got a couple of lucky bounces off both himself and Jagielka but he made the most of it, taking the ball onto his left-foot and forcing the ball past Howard. Timely substitution from Tony Pulis.
Osman and Jelavic try a one-two on the edge of the box but Stoke just manage to cut the return pass out.
Etherington swings the ball in from the right and Cahill is forced to concede a throw-in. Huth is Delap's target but Cahill leaps to clear again.
Everton dominating in the middle of the park but Stoke still a threat in the Everton area. The game is opening up a bit with both sides taking it in turns to attack.
More appeals from Jones. Heitinga and Distin combine to floor the striker but the referee more interested in the fact that Howard had claimed the long pass comfortably regardless.
Appeals for a penalty from Stoke as Jones goes down under an aerial challenge from Osman. Referee not interested.
Long throw... for Everton. Distin lofts the ball in and it nearly comes out for Cahill but he swings wildly, miskicks, and Stoke clear.
Chance! Osman feeds Pienaar down the right and, when he cuts the ball back, Fellaini looks set to stroke the ball home - but it's taken off his toe by the onrushing Osman looking for the return pass and he fires over.
Nice ball by Jones into the right channel for Walters to chase. He beats Hibbert but his cross does not beat the first man and it's out for a corner, which Everton clear.
Osman twisting and turning in the Stoke boss and when he tries to cross the ball hits Huth. Appeals for a penalty but the referee waves away Everton's claims.
Another long free-kick from the home side and Walters wins the header now but again there is very little movement for Stoke in order to win these knockdowns.
Fellaini commits the foul and Shawcross pumps the free-kick long. This time Jones does win the header but it's misdirected.
John: 'I doubt there is any way back for Stoke, especially in the form that Everton are in at the moment, I see Everton closing this out.'
Robin: 'Is Jelavic looking like getting a chance or two for a goal in the second half?' ... He went close but didn't know much about it as the ball bounced off him. Struggling to get into it really.
Dianne: 'No way back. Stoke too negative. Very worried for next season. Perhaps time for change at the top.'
Nick: 'Come on Stoke, let's finish the season on a high note, Crouchie can make amends 2nd half, the mighty Potters to eak it 2-1.'
Sam: 'I predict that Everton will win 2-1. If Everton finish above Liverpool, losing the FA Cup semi-final won't be such a disaster.'
Any way back for Stoke? Let me know what you think - you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or tweet me @GhostGoal
Half-time: The referee blows up and Everton lead at the break. A scrappy game and a scrappy goal but the visitors played the better stuff and will fancy their chances now.
Upson was penalised for a foul on Jelavic. They've been tussling all night. Pienaar took the free-kick short to Hibbert on the right and his cross was a good one. He missed Cahill but the ball was headed against Crouch with the big striker on the fall from his original jump and he diverted it past Begovic. Very fortunate but Everton probably deserve that on the balance of play.
But Pienaar's cross is poor. Distin is lining up a long-throw now but elects to take it short instead with Stoke unprepared. Pienaar collects and, cutting in from the left, fires a right-footed shot in that is deflected over.
Not much happening at the Britannia. It's a game of few chances and it's also being played at a tame pace due to the frequent stoppages. Jelavic, who has often found himself in wide positions, wins a corner here. Chance for Everton to put the ball in...
Walters crosses for Crouch at the far post but Jagielka is there and intercepts. When the ball comes back in, Hibbert neatly heads back to Howard while under pressure.
Chance! Gueye beats Walters all ends up on the left-wing and crosses. The ball is missed by Osman and appears to hit Jelavic on the bounce without him knowing much about it - but it's not far away, flying 18 inches over the Stoke crossbar.
Neither side putting many passes together - Jones wastes the opportunity to break as he plays the ball behind Whitehead. But this is better from Everton, keeping the ball in the Stoke half.
Huth wins the header again and it's a looping one that Howard has to turn over for a corner. Etherington takes over from Delap.
That's a better left-footed shot from Osman after Cahill fed the ball to him in a central position 20 yards out but it's caught by Begovic.
Hibbert crosses for Fellaini and the ball is bobbling in the Stoke box. They clear as far as Osman but the diminutive midfielder's left-footed effort is tame and straight at Begovic.
And Everton get lucky as the ball is again bouncing around their six-yard box. They're just not dealing with it and when Jelavic has the chance to break it comes to nothing.
Howard does come for his long-throw and manages to get a punch on the ball despite the bodies of Crouch, Jones and Fellaini in his path. It's another throw-in though...
Jelavic and Upson in a tangle and the ball comes free to Anichebe but he just runs the ball out of play - he's not looking good and Moyes is going to have to replace the Nigerian forward.
Here comes another big bomb from Delap. He reaches the far post with this one and Huth again is the man who meets it. The German heads over but that's a worry for Everton with Howard unwilling to come for the ball.
Dangerous ball from Distin - a centre-back playing at left-back... and now charging down the wing. Begovic stays on his line but he is fortunate and Distin's ball just eludes everyone.
Stoke are always after those knock-downs and second balls and Etherington gets on the end of one now. Jagielka can only head as far as the left-winger while under pressure from Jones but the former West Ham man lifts the ball over the bar.
Clash of heads between Distin and Walters there and the Stoke man has come off worse but after a quick bit of bandage work he's ok.
Now it's Stoke's turn. Etherington dances past Hibbert and tries to find Walters at the far post. The Irishman is a big lad but unfortunately for him the Everton left-back happens to be bigger and Distin heads away.
Woeful clearance from Begovic and Everton are starting to take control here. Bright start but haven't found Jelavic yet.
Everton probing down the right but it comes to nothing. Looking at the replay of Shawcross' challenge on Anichebe in the box a moment ago that looked a decent shout for a penalty. The striker can't believe it.
Long ball from Heitinga after Jones presses him and it's a poor one, surrendering possession. Even start to the game.
Cute ball from Pienaar into Anichebe inside the area, who turns well and fires left-footed across the box and wins a corner. But Pienaar cannot beat the first man from the resultant deadball.
First long-throw from Delap and it's a good chance! Huth with the header and it bounces in the six-yard box but there's a flag up for offside against Shawcross.
Everton mount their first offensive but Pienaar runs into trouble on the edge of the Stoke box. He's down briefly after riding one challenge and banging into the next one but is up now and we're underway again.
Tony Hibbert delaying over a throw-in early on after the two teams exchange headers in the centre of the park.
Nathan Catherall: 'Hoping for an Everton win. Jelavic to get our first goal and hopefully Liverpool lose! Fingers crossed - we need seventh place!'
Westley Stewart: 'Stoke's solid record against the Toffees versus Everton's good form of late. Hoping for a great match tonight! Jelavic has been devastating so I'm betting on a brace!'
Could be a tough night for the home side? Stoke are the lowest scoring team in the Premier League this season, with only 33 goals. Meanwhile, Everton have allowed their opponents fewer clear cut opportunities (40) than any other Premier League side in 2011-12.
Martha Banks has been in touch to say: 'The way we're going lately I fancy another four goals, although Stoke are a tough team so I'm going 2-1 with Jelavic and Pienaar scoring for the Toffees and Crouch for Stoke.'
For the home side, Peter Crouch leads the line. The tall striker has scored in four of his last five Premier League games on home soil and perhaps he'll fancy eaking into Roy Hodgson's England squad with a late run of form? Not literally eaking in, obviously. He's a big lad.
One to watch in this game is surely ex-Rangers man Nikica Jelavic. If he scores two or more goals here he will be the first player in Premier League history to do so in four consecutive games. It's good Scottish football, i't it?
Our friends at Sky Bet make Everton narrow favourites in this one but it's very tight. Everton are 8/5 and Stoke are 17/10. The draw is available at 23/10.
'This is Stewart MacLaren from a bright & breezy Torrevieja in Spain saying that Everton will beat Stoke City 2-1 at the Britannia Stadium this evening with good goals from Tim Cahill & Nikica Jelavic.' Better than a wet and windy Stoke, I'd have thought...
Stoke: Begovic; Huth, Shawcross, Upson, Wilson; Walters, Delap, Whitehead, Etherington; Jones, Crouch.
Everton: Howard; Hibbert, Heitinga, Jagielka, Distin; Anichebe, Osman, Fellaini, Cahill, Pienaar; Jelavic.
