Act 1 Teaser
Outside shot of a snowy mountain range. Day.
Screen text : St. Moritz, Switzerland.
A young woman, Lucy, gets off a ski lift at the top of the mountain inside a building. She stands at the top of a flight of stairs leading down to the slope. She steps onto her skis, clicking the boots into place, then takes a deep breath. She pulls down her goggles and pushes off, skiing down the stairs and onto the slope.
Another skier is coming down the hill behind her. He scrapes at the slope with his poles, trying to catch up to Lucy. She looks back and sees him advancing. She ducks her head down to pick up speed.
He finally does catch up with her and tries to grab her from behind. She elbows his face and he falls backwards. He manages to stay on his feet, though, and stands upright again, chasing her down the slope. Lucy goes over a small jump and the man follows her, both of them skiing at an extremely high speed.
She looks back at the man again to see how close he is. Then another man comes at her from the side and tries to grab her, but she skis past him before he can get to her. The second man joins the first in chasing Lucy down the hill. She takes another jump and the men take it after her. They ski down the hill in a line as a nearly full moon looks down on them from the blue sky.
Lucy skis down a narrow path between two large rocks. The two men jump off the rocks to the slope below. One of the men lands the jump perfectly, and the other loses his balance and falls down.
Lucy takes another jump, this one much bigger than the others, and soars through the air before landing again on the slope. The man makes good time, taking the jump flawlessly and landing behind her. They ski through an area of densely packed trees. When they are near the clearing, Lucy lets one of her ski poles get caught on a tree that she passes. The man trips over the pole and falls down. He rips off his helmet and goggles angrily as he watches Lucy get away. He pounds the ground in frustration.
Lucy gets to the bottom of the hill and skids to a stop. She reaches into her jacket pocket.
Cut to an outside shot of the Kent farm. In Clark's bedroom, where Lois is staying, the clock says 3:02 AM. Lois's cell phone rings perkily on the bedside table. Lois is wearing a sleep mask with the words "do not disturb" on it and she swats at the clock, thinking that she is hearing the alarm. Then she takes off her mask and turns the clock around to look at it.
Lois : [Groggy.] Who the hell calls at 3 AM? [She answers her phone.] This had better be good.
Lucy : [Still on the slope.] Lo, it's me!
Lois : [Surprised.] Lucy? Where are you?
Lucy : [Sounding excited.] Good news, big sis. I'm coming to see you the day after tomorrow. Don't worry about the airport, all right? I'll grab a shuttle.
Lois : Lucy, wait--
Lucy : Can't wait to see you. Bye!
Lucy hangs up. Lois hangs up her phone and lies back on the bed with a nervous sigh. Then she pulls her mask back over her eyes, annoyed.
[Opening credits]
Act 1 Scene 1
Outside shot of the Kent farm. Day. Inside, Shelby the dog is resting on the floor of the dining room. Clark, Jonathan, and Martha are seated at the table and Lois enters wearing an apron and carrying a plate of pancakes which she puts down on the table.
Lois : I hope you guys are hungry because there are plenty more where these came from.
Jonathan : Lois, you really didn't have to... [He notices the sloppy pile of broken pancakes Lois has made.] ...do all this.
Martha : At least let me help. Um, I should make some eggs.
Martha stands up.
Lois : Oh, no, no, no, Mrs. Kent. [She seats Martha.] You just sit down, relax. Look, here I am using your home as my own personal Motel 6. It's really the least I can do.
Clark picks up one of the pancake scraps, inspecting it.
Clark : Yeah, well, I'm not that hungry, so I'm gonna have some O.J.
Clark tries to stand up, but Lois pushes him back into his seat forcefully.
Lois : Come on. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Bacon?
She lifts the lid from a frying pan, revealing a stack of burnt bacon strips.
Lois : Okay, so I'm never gonna make it to the cordon bleu, but I thought it would be less of a disaster than helping out on the farm.
Jonathan smiles doubtfully.
Lois : Maybe ironing.
Clark : Lois, what's going on?
Lois : What do you mean?
Clark : You made us breakfast, you're offering to do chores. You want something.
Lois : No. It's called being nice.
Clark : Yeah, well, if you were any nicer, we'd starve.
Martha : Clark...
Martha shakes her head subtly at Clark.
Lois : He's right, Mrs. Kent. Look, um...[She sits down.] See, you guys have been so good to me already, it's kind of hard to ask for yet another favor, so... But, um, I--
They hear the door open and Lucy calls from the next room.
Lucy : Lo? Anybody home?
Shelby barks and accompanies Lucy into the dining room. Lucy is dragging a large suitcase behind her and she scratches Shelby's head affectionately.
Lucy : [To Shelby.] Hi, sweetie. What's your name?
Everyone at the dining room table stands up and Lois rushes to Lucy.
Lois : Hi.
They hug.
Lucy : I'm so happy to see you.
Lois : Um... meet my sister Lucy. She was kind of hoping she could crash here for a couple days.
Lucy : I know it's last minute, but I had this school break, and I'm willing to sleep in the barn.
Clark : No, that's okay. Lois can sleep in the barn.
Lois glares at Clark.
Jonathan : Nobody has to sleep out there.
Martha : We'd love to have you, Lucy. Um, you can stay in Lois's room.
Jonathan : We'll, uh, we'll go up and get your things set up.
Jonathan and Martha smile hospitably at Lucy and go upstairs. Clark steps forward.
Clark : So, Lucy, Lois has told us absolutely nothing about you.
Lucy : Well there's not much to tell.
During Lois's next line, Lucy and Clark share a silent moment, looking into each other's eyes flirtatiously.
Lois : Oh, please. Let me gloat. She is getting straight A's at one of the most prestigious prep schools in Europe, she is fluent in three languages, and she is fending off Ivy League colleges with a stick.
Clark : [To Lucy.] Wow, that's impressive. What happened to Lois?
Lucy laughs.
Lois : [To Lucy.] You're gonna find that Clark's charm is an acquired taste, much like his sense of fashion.
Lucy : Well, thanks for letting me stay. I don't know how I'm going to repay you.
Clark : Well, just tell me plenty of embarrassing stories about Lois.
Lois : [Laughs.] Funny guy.
Lois punches Clark in the chest roughly.
Lucy : Well, I'm just gonna go wash off four time zones' worth of airport connections.
Lucy starts toward the stairs and stops when Lois speaks.
Lois : Lucy? Are you sure everything's okay?
Lucy : Now that I'm here with you, it's perfect.
Lucy goes up the stairs, and Clark follows her. Lois sighs uneasily.
Act 1 Scene 2
Outside shot of the Talon. Day. Jason and Lana enter the Talon wearing running clothes. They walk up the stairs toward Lana's apartment.
Jason : You know, you cheated on that last stretch, young lady. I had you beat.
Lana links her arm with Jason's.
Lana : Well, I only offered you a kiss. Didn't think you'd actually fall for it.
Lana pushes Jason out of the way and runs up to the apartment. When they enter, they both stop abruptly, looking around the room in distress.
Lana : Oh, my God.
The apartment has been ransacked. Chairs have been tipped over, and the contents of the shelves have been strewn on the floor.
Jason : Hold on.
Jason goes to the open bathroom door and looks inside. Then he closes the door and comes back to Lana.
Jason : Is anything missing?
Lana : I don't know.
Lana runs to her dresser and looks at her jewelry box.
Lana : My jewelry is still here. [Picks up her wallet from the bed.] My wallet's right where I left it.
Jason : Okay, well, if nothing valuable is missing, then...
They share a look of realization.
Lana : The stone.
Lana and Jason run to the fireplace. Jason removes a loose brick from the base of the fireplace and pulls out a small box. He opens the box and it is empty. Lana puts her hand on her head in panic and walks away from the fireplace.
Jason : Who else could've known it was here?
Lana : I don't know.
Jason : Well, no one saw me take it in China.
Lana : Maybe, uh, maybe Lex or Lionel figured it out.
Jason : Or Clark. I mean, you always said there was a side of him that you never really knew.
Lana : [Getting worked up.] I don't care who did this, Jason. I don't care about these stones. I just want to forget they ever existed.
Jason : Lana, this isn't some bad dream that you can just blink away. This is real life. We have to find that stone.
Lana : No, we don't. Jason, our relationship has become more about chasing artifacts than it is about you and me. And that isn't a relationship. Remember when our biggest problem was trying to find a place to steal a kiss?
Jason : [Thoughtful.] Yeah, you usually preferred under the bleachers.
Lana : Well, there is no reason why we can't go back to those days, without worrying about break-ins and artifacts and the Luthors... And Clark Kent.
Jason looks into Lana's eyes for a moment, then nods.
Jason : You're right. Then whoever took the stone, they can just keep it. And, uh, and we'll just concentrate on the only thing that really matters. Us.
Lana nods.
Act 1 Scene 3
Outside shot of the Kent farm. Day. Inside the loft, Clark comes down the stairs as Lucy enters the barn wearing overalls and carrying a bucket of milk.
Lucy : [Smiling.] Hope you're thirsty.
Clark : [Surprised.] What are you doing?
Lucy : Oh, I figured I would help out and get the morning milk. I spent last spring break on my friend's farm in the Swiss countryside.
Clark : [Impressed.] Well, you didn't really have to do that.
Lucy : I figured if I'm gonna stay, I have to pull my own weight.
Lucy walks toward him slowly as she speaks, smiling. He looks back at her shyly, clearly attracted to her. Lois enters.
Clark : Hey, uh, Lois. Did you hear that?
Lois : I'm sorry. Did you say something? [To Lucy.] Go get changed. I'm going to work.
Clark : Since when did you work?
Lois : Since today. I'm helping your mom out at the Talon. [To Lucy.] So Chloe is going to be your official Smallville tour guide, not that there's much to see.
Lucy : Oh, I don't know. [She looks Clark up and down.] So far it looks pretty good.
Clark smiles as Lucy leaves the barn. Lois laughs sarcastically.
Lois : Don't let all that flirting go to your head. She goes to an all-girls school. You're probably the first guy she's talked to in a couple months.
Clark : Lois, I don't want you to get the wrong idea, but ever since Lucy came to town you've been grumpier than normal. Are you not happy to see your sister?
Lois : Of course I am. Look, there's a thing with sisters. You can love them without really liking them.
Clark : You don't like your own sister?
Lois : More like she's not very crazy about me, not that I blame her.
Clark : Yeah, well, look, you might be a little rough around the edges, but as far as sisters go, Lucy could do a lot worse.
Lois : Um, thanks for the ringing endorsement. When my mother died, my dad had two girls he didn't know how to deal with. So he did what every good military leader would do. He instituted a chain of command, and I reported to him--
Clark : Lucy reported to you.
Lois : Yeah. It takes sibling rivalry to a whole new level. I had to make sure she had three square meals, got to school, did her homework.
Clark : You became her mother.
Lois : Yeah, except I was not prepared. I used to give her advice like, you know, don't kiss a boy or you're gonna get pregnant. And, yeah, maybe she had a few more chores than most kids.
Clark : Is that why she decided to go to boarding school?
Lois : Oh, unlike your family, there was no discussion. When the general gives an order, you're expected to carry it out.
Clark : Whoa, sounds kind of harsh.
Lois : Trust me. Lucy got the better end of the deal. I mean, don't get me wrong. She totally deserves it. But I guess there was just a part of me that was always jealous she got out and I didn't.
Clark looks at Lois sympathetically. Lois looks slightly embarrassed as if she is surprised at herself for revealing so much.
Lois : [Changing the subject.] I gotta go to work. I hear your mother is a slave driver.
She walks out of the barn quickly.
Act 1 Scene 4
Lois is taking a woman's order at the Talon. Day. The woman is seated at the table. Lois is wearing an apron and carrying a serving tray and notepad.
Woman : I need a, uh, half-half soy latte, no foam, no whip, and a, uh, blueberry muffin top, hold the stem.
Lois : [To herself as she walks away.] Whatever happened to regular old black coffee?
Lois walks behind the bar, passing Lex and Clark who are standing at the bar.
Lex : [To Clark.] Two Lanes under one roof. That's got to be interesting.
Another waitress hands both Clark and Lex a cup of coffee.
Clark : Well, I haven't had a hot shower in two days, and the laundry machine is running nonstop. The phone line is consistently busy.
Lex smiles.
Clark : No, it's nice having them around. I mean, it kind of takes the loneliness out of the house.
Lex : Yeah, I always hated the sound of a quiet home.
Chloe and Lucy enter. Chloe sees Lois behind the bar.
Chloe : Whoa! Is that Lois with a tray? Hey, cuz!
Lois walks away from the bar with a customer's order.
Clark : Yes, it is. It's kind of like a free floor show. Have you two been catching up?
Chloe : Um, yeah. Lucy's just filling me in on all her hidden talents. She was a violinist for the Zurich Youth Orchestra.
Lucy : It was nothing. It's just a hobby.
Lex : [Impressed.] Given their reputation in Europe, I highly doubt that.
Clark : [Introducing Lex.] Oh, sorry, Lucy, this is--
Lucy : Lex Luthor. [They shake hands.] I read your profile in Fortune magazine a couple months ago. I thought your theories on the future of American business were very interesting.
Lex looks at Lucy quietly for a moment, surprised by her knowledge.
Lex : Well, I'd be curious to know what you think of my piano skills. Drop by the mansion. I'd love to play with a serious musician.
They are interrupted by a crash of breaking glass as Lois drops her tray.
Lois : Oh, crap!
Chloe : [Smiling.] I'm gonna go help her out.
Chloe goes over to help Lois. A man enters the Talon, the same man who was chasing Lucy on the ski slope. He stares at Lucy and Clark notices.
Clark : [Quietly.] Lucy, who's that guy staring at you back there?
Lucy turns around to look and the man is gone. She turns back to Clark and looks at him questioningly. He looks around, confused.
Fade to black.
Act 2 Scene 1
Outside shot of Lex's mansion. Night. Lionel is in his room when Jason barges in. He walks toward Lionel and speaks in a low, threatening tone.
Jason : Luthor, where is it?
Lionel : Well, perhaps you can tell me what it is you want.
Jason : You know exactly what it is I want. You gave me that map because you knew I'd end up in China, and you knew I'd find that stone.
Jason walks over to the bookshelf and starts knocking books onto the floor, looking for the stone.
Jason : It was all one big calculated ploy, wasn't it?
Lionel : If I had the foresight which you attribute to me, I wouldn't need any ancient artifacts to help me.
Jason : If you've got any kind of foresight, you will let me know where that stone is right now. Otherwise, this is gonna get very ugly.
Lionel : Oh, so now in addition to hurling accusations, you decide to threaten me?
Jason : You break into her apartment, you go through her private things--
Lionel : I assure you, breaking and entering is not my style.
Jason continues to search around the room, throwing things out of his way.
Lionel : Your lost treasure isn't here, Mr. Teague. You'll have to look somewhere else. Good day.
In a rage, Jason grabs Lionel off of the couch and pushes him against the bookshelf.
Jason : I'm not going anywhere, Luthor, until you give me that stone or you convince me that you didn't take it.
Lionel : You storm in here, you accuse me of some ham-fisted home invasion--
Jason slams him against the shelf again.
Lionel : Why are you doing this? Is it an act? An elaborate diversion?
Jason : Don't turn this around on me!
Lionel : I think we both know there's nothing stronger than the love between mother and son. And I'm sure Miss Lang agrees.
Lionel looks over Jason's shoulder. Jason turns around and sees that Lana is standing in the doorway, watching the confrontation with frightened tears in her eyes.
Act 2 Scene 2
Outside shot of the Kent farm. Night. Inside, Lucy creeps down the stairs quietly. She walks through the kitchen and into the living room where Clark is asleep on the couch. She opens the front door softly and leaves. When she is gone, Clark sits up, having been awake the whole time, and looks at the door.
Cut to Lucy using a key to unlock the door of the Talon and she enters. She walks behind the bar and kneels down next to the cash drawer. She opens a makeup compact and places it on the counter with the mirror facing the restaurant so that she can see if someone is approaching behind her. She unlocks the drawer and pulls out a stack of dollar bills, then stops when she sees Clark's face in the mirror. She quickly puts the money back and stands up to face him.
Clark : I knew you had talents, but I didn't think burglary was one of them.
Lucy : I swear I was gonna pay it all back. I'm not some criminal.
Clark : You do a pretty good job of impersonating one. Look, Lucy, I just don't get it. I mean, why?
Lucy : Do you have any idea what it's like to be different from everyone else? To be a total outsider?
Clark : I might have an idea.
Lucy : At my school, I'm surrounded by the wealthiest kids in the world. So unless I want to be the school's outcast, I had to be like them, look like them.
Clark : Well, I'm sure it's a very expensive undertaking. But do you really have to resort to petty theft in order to fit in?
Lucy : Well, I tried using my credit cards, but they maxed out. So I went to this club owner who's known for lending money to the credit-impaired.
Clark : You went to a loan shark?
Lucy : Well, it's called something else in German, but yeah, that's the idea.
Clark : Wait, so that's the guy who was here the other day staring at you.
Lucy doesn't respond.
Clark : All right, look, how much do you owe?
Lucy : Fifty thousand U.S. dollars. [Clark is shocked.] But most of it is just bonus interest.
Clark : Look, Lucy, we gotta tell your father about this.
Lucy : No, I can't. The general's convinced I'm the embodiment of the perfect daughter.
Clark : Well, at least we have to tell Lois.
Lucy: I don't want to disappoint her.
Clark : She's your sister. She'll understand.
Lucy : Not everyone has a family like yours, Clark. Please don't tell her. I think the best thing for me to do is to just... disappear for a while.
She starts to leave.
Clark : Lucy, wait. [She stops.] If you're in some sort of trouble, the best thing to do is to just stay here, keep a low profile. Maybe there's something I can do to help.
Lucy looks at Clark hopefully.
Fade to black.
Act 3 Scene 1
Outside shot of Smallville High School. Day. In the Torch office, Chloe and Clark are researching the loan shark on the computer. There is a picture of the man who has been following Lucy around on the computer screen and several details about him.
Chloe : His name is Marcus Becker. He's a bouncer at a club called Kronos in Zurich with a resume chock full of felonies. Apparently this club is a front for the kind of people that you don't want to owe money to.
Clark : I wish she'd just tell Lois.
Lois enters the Torch office.
Lois : She doesn't have to. I knew her hop, skip, and a jump over the Atlantic wasn't because she missed her big sister, and if this guy is bothering Lucy, then I'm gonna find him. We're gonna have a little talk.
Chloe stands up and grabs Lois's arm, preventing her from leaving.
Chloe : Lois, before you go all Lifetime heroine, remember that this is not the school bully she's dealing with.
Clark : Seriously, she is in trouble. But I think I know someone who can help.
Act 3 Scene 2
Lex and Lucy are in Lex's study. Day. Lex is playing a classical piece on the piano and Lucy plays along on the violin. Lois and Clark enter. Lois claps her hands as if applauding the performance, and Lex and Lucy stop playing.
Lois : [An implying tone.] Bravo, Lucy. Excellent performance.
Lex : Yeah, I had no idea the younger Lane was such a virtuoso.
Lois : Oh, apparently there's quite a bit about the younger Lane you don't know.
Lucy : [Annoyed.] Thanks, Clark. You're pretty great about keeping a secret.
Clark : Lucy, I want to help you. That's why I'm here. Lex, I was gonna tell you about the money, but I think she already beat me to it.
Lex : [Standing up.] And what money would that be?
Lucy : I didn't come here looking for a handout. I can solve this problem myself.
Lucy puts her violin back in its case angrily.
Lois : [Becoming angry.] Well, as long as we're on the topic of personal finance, how did you think you'd be able to pay this money back? Standing on the street corner playing the violin for loose change?
Lucy : There's a reason I didn't tell you.
Lois : Look, I don't want to have to say anything to the general about this, but--
Lucy : You're not Mom, all right! So stop trying to be.
Lois : Don't you dare bring Mom into this.
Lex : [Calming.] Ladies, please.
Clark : [To Lex.] Lucy owes fifty thousand dollars to a guy in Switzerland. He's come to Smallville to collect.
Lex turns to Lucy, surprised.
Lex : Now, Lucy, how does a girl like you get involved with a loan shark?
Lucy : It's a long story. Look, I didn't ask for anyone's help. Not Clark, not Lois, not you. I'm a big girl. I can handle this on my own.
Lex : Fifty thousand dollars is a lot to handle, even for a big girl.
Lucy : Yeah, well, I guess that's my problem.
Lucy starts to leave.
Lex : Lucy, before you walk out that door, why don't you tell me what happened? I have the resources to deal with these kinds of people.
Act 3 Scene 3
Outside shot of Lex's mansion. Night. Lex and Clark walk down the hallway together.
Lex : They want Bearer Bonds which are impossible to trace. This isn't amateur hour.
Clark : I thought you had a policy not to deal with extortionists.
Lex : This is different, Clark. This isn't the first time I've dealt with these people.
Clark : Wait, you know Marcus Becker?
Lex : I know the man he works for. They're a German crime syndicate, and they've repeatedly blocked my attempts to buy a hotel in Zurich through intimidation and blackmail. If I get this guy in custody, I'll have something to squeeze them with.
Clark : So Lucy's just a pawn?
Lex : No. I just have other reasons for helping her out.
Lucy and Lois walk up to Lex and Clark.
Lucy : Becker wants me to meet him at an abandoned warehouse at the corner of Market and Linden.
Lex nods.
Clark : Lex, this isn't worth getting hurt over.
Lex : No one's getting hurt, Clark. All I'm doing is delivering the briefcase. The GPS device inside will lead my security team right to them
Lucy : He said he only wants me there.
Lex : No. That's not gonna happen. I'm going alone.
Cut to Lex driving in his car. Lucy is sitting in the passenger seat and Lois is squeezed uncomfortably between them.
Lois : A hundred grand, chrome wheels, and thirteen speakers, and instead of a backseat... Oh, yeah. I get the gear shift.
Lucy : Are we there yet?
Lois : Have you ever been in a car and not uttered those words?
Lucy : All I'm saying is, this guy's not gonna be happy if we're not there on time. He's not the kind of guy you want to piss off.
Lex : Relax. We're close.
They suddenly hear a siren coming from behind them as a police car rides their tail closely, flashing its blue and red lights.
Lex : Damn it.
Lucy : Can you outrun them?
Lex : Don't worry. I'll handle it.
Lex comes to a stop.
Lex : Just stay put.
He gets out of the car and walks toward the police car as the officer gets out. The officer's face is covered in shadow.
Lex : Excuse me, officer. I appreciate your need to fill your speeding ticket quota, but can we make this quick?
Officer : Put your hands over your head.
Lex : [Confused.] What?
Officer : Put your hands up now.
The officer points his gun at Lex. Lex raises his hands.
Lex : Look, I think there's been a mistake. I may have been speeding, but--
Officer : Shut up!
The officer steps forward into the light and we see that he is Marcus Becker. He speaks with a Swiss accent.
Officer : Go get the bonds, Mr. Luthor.
Inside the car, Lucy and Lois see what is going on through the rear window.
Lucy : Oh, my God!
Lois : No, no, just stay calm, okay?
Lex slowly walks to the trunk of his car and opens it, pulling out a silver briefcase. He offers it to Marcus.
Marcus : Nice try.
Marcus pulls a plastic bag out of his pocket.
Marcus : Dump it in the bag.
Lex puts the briefcase down on the ground and opens it, transferring the bonds from the case to the bag. When he finishes, Marcus nods.
Marcus : Thank you.
Marcus whips Lex across the face with his gun.
Marcus : [Viciously.] Good night.
Unexpectedly, Lois kicks Marcus in the chest. He grimaces in pain, but keeps his balance and grabs Lois around the neck, pointing his gun at her head.
Marcus : You wouldn't want Lucy to be an only child, would you?
Cut to Clark super speeding to the warehouse where Lucy was supposed to meet Marcus. The large sliding door is locked shut, and he breaks the lock in his hand, shoving the door up.
Inside there is a flower shop. There are several customers there and a female employee. They are all startled.
Employee : Take my word for it. There's no cash on the premises.
Clark : Wait, where's Marcus Becker?
Employee : Never heard of him.
Clark looks around in frustration, realizing that he has been set up.
Cut to Clark super speeding into the road where the cop car Marcus used is still parked with its lights flashing. He finds Lex still lying on the road, bleeding from his forehead.
Clark : Lex!
Lex : Clark, he's got the girls.
Lex groans in pain.
Fade to black.
Act 4 Scene 1
A large semi truck comes to a stop on the road. Day. A man steps out of the cab but all we see of him are his black shoes and slacks. Inside the back of the truck, Lois and Lucy are trapped. Lois pounds on the door. Lex's car is parked inside the back of the truck with them.
Lois : Hey! Somebody!
Lucy : It's no use. We are totally and utterly screwed.
Lois : Oh, let's not jump to conclusions, here. I have a history of getting us out of the jams you get us into. I'll think of something.
Lucy : Lois, this isn't like getting ourselves locked in the mess hall pantry or getting lost on our bikes in Bangkok.
The door opens and Marcus comes into the back of the truck holding a gun and a brown paper bag.
Lois : I don't get it. You got your money. Why don't you go back home, eat some Swiss cheese, and live happily every after? You don't need us.
Marcus : But I do. The Luthor well has only just been tapped. I'm here to strike it rich.
Lucy : You son of a bitch. You're holding us for ransom?
Lois : Lucy, zip it.
Lois takes a small step toward Marcus and he immediately points his gun at her.
Lois : Let my sister go. You don't need both of us.
Marcus : Sure I do. A pair of Lanes. It definitely ups the ante.
Lois : The world would be a whole lot worse without her in it than without me, right? She's the one with the future. If she'd only learn to behave herself.
Marcus : Eat up, girls.
Marcus tosses the paper bag to Lucy, and she catches it.
Lucy : How generous of you. I thought you'd let us starve.
Marcus : The one with the sticker has no tomatoes.
Marcus leaves and shuts the door behind him.
Lois : [Forcefully.] Lucy?
Lucy : [Startled.] Yeah?
Lois : How does he know you don't like tomatoes?
Lucy is silent, unable to respond.
Act 4 Scene 2
Clark comes into Lex's study where Lex is standing in front of the fire with a drink. Day.
Clark : Lucy Lane has been conning us this whole time.
Lex : That's a pretty bold accusation, Clark.
Clark : The drop-off was a fake. There was no warehouse. And Lucy was the only one who knew about the GPS. I mean, how else would Becker have known to treat the briefcase like the plague?
Lex : Becker's a pro. He could simply be cautious about the money.
Clark : It's all part of a bigger plan. The way she accidentally woke me up on her way to steal from the Talon. She knew I'd catch her in the act. Her sob story about not being able to fit in at school. It was all a setup in order to win my sympathy so I'd come to you for the money.
Lex : She played us like a Stradivarius.
Clark : What I don't understand is why abduct Lois? I know it's a con, but why kidnap your own sister?
Lex : Well, they say sibling rivalries run deep.
A servant comes in.
Woman : Line one, Mr. Luthor. It's Becker.
Lex goes to his phone at the desk and picks it up.
Lex : Lex Luthor.
Clark uses his super hearing to hear both sides of the conversation.
Becker : Place $500,000 in Bearer Bonds in a tractor trailer on Highway 54 just north of Cherry Hill.
Lex : That's not how it works.
Becker hangs up. Clark super speeds out of the room when Lex isn't looking. Lex hangs up his phone and looks around.
Lex : Clark? Clark?
Act 4 Scene 3
Shot of the semi truck driving down the road. Day. Inside the back, Lois stands with her back to Lucy.
Lucy : I swear, Lois, it wasn't supposed to end up this way.
Lois : [Turns around, furious.] When Michael Hoover was throwing dirt clods at you, who kicked his butt, huh? Who was the one who let you sleep in her bed and listen to you snore every night after Mom died?
Lucy : [Crying.] Lois, I'm sorry.
Lois : Well, sorry's not good enough! I want to know why. I want to know why you turned to a life of crime when you have everything in the world going for you. You're as close to fricking perfect as it gets!
Lucy : Because that's what the general always wanted. I just went along and played the part. From the day I left for school, all I wanted was to go home.
Lois : Why didn't you tell the general that?
Lucy : How could I? It was clear he didn't want me around. He wanted you.
Lois : What are you talking about?
Lucy : Why do you think he sent me off to school after Mom died?
Lois : He sent you off to school because you were brilliant, and you deserved the best education available.
Lucy : Well, you can think whatever you want. But the fact is, I always envied you.
Lois : Me? I was being dragged around the world like a spare piece of luggage.
Lucy : Yeah, but you had something I never had.
Lois : What?
Lucy : Our dad.
Lois : Luce. I don't think either of us ever had Dad.
Cut to Clark super speeding on to Highway 54. He comes to a stop and looks around, but there are no cars in sight. Then he sees the semi truck approach beneath the overpass that he is standing on. Lucy and Lois talk in the truck and Clark hears them with his super hearing.
Lucy : I'm sorry I got you into this, Lois.
Lois : Don't worry about it. I've been in far worse trouble than this.
The truck passes underneath the overpass and Clark super speeds to the edge. In slow motion, he jumps off the edge of the overpass, flailing his arms and legs as if reaching for the truck. He travels an enormous distance through the air and lands on top of the truck.
Lucy and Lois hear the impact and exchange a frightened glance. Clark runs to the front of the truck and jumps onto the cab. Marcus looks up at the ceiling, confused by the noise. Then he grabs his gun and aims it at the ceiling. He shoots several bullets that go through the roof of the cab but miss Clark. Lois and Lucy duck down at the sound of the gunfire.
Marcus runs out of bullets and reaches toward the dashboard to get more. Then Clark climbs down the side of the cab and walks toward the driver side door. He punches through the glass of the window and hits Marcus in the face. Marcus grunts and falls unconscious.
Clark jumps into the cab as the truck starts to swerve all over the road. Lucy and Lois are thrown around in the back and slam against the walls. They both fall to the ground, and Lois holds onto Lucy tightly. Clark sits in the driver's seat and attempts to regain control of the truck. He finally succeeds in stopping the truck.
Two black trucks drive toward the semi from behind. Lex is in the passenger seat of one of them and he talks on a walkie-talkie.
Lex : We're pulling over. Now!
The two trucks stop and Lex comes out holding a gun. His other security men come after him as they jog to the driver's side door of the semi and Lex opens it. When he looks inside, Marcus is alone and unconscious. He looks back to his men, at a loss.
Cut to Lex's car being driven down a ramp out of the back of the semi. Lex and Lois walk toward one of Lex's black trucks.
Lex : How are you feeling?
Lois : Well, I have a newfound appreciation for seatbelts. I can tell you that. [Pause.] What are you going to do with my sister?
Lex : I don't have a choice. I have to notify the authorities.
Lois nods. Suddenly, Lex's car engine revs loudly and starts to drive away. Lex's men scream at it.
Man : Hey, hey!
The car comes a stop next to Lois and Lex and we see that Lucy is driving it. Through the rolled up window, she mouths the words "I'm sorry." Then she speeds away.
Lois : Lucy!
Lois watches the car go, then turns away with tears in her eyes.
Fade to black.
Act 5 Scene 1
Outside shot of the Kent farm. Day. Inside the barn, Clark pulls a saddle off a work table and sets it down on a box which rests on top of a couple of hay bales. Lex enters.
Clark : Lex. Any luck finding Lucy?
Lex : No. All that turned up was the car minus my fifty thousand dollars.
Clark : Look, Lex, I know that Lois feels really bad about this. But there's really no way she would've--
Lex : Clark, I'm not here to collect. Besides, having Becker in custody is worth a lot more to me than fifty grand.
Clark : Your deal in Zurich. [Clark nods.] Well, I'm glad that someone came out of this ahead.
Lex : How's Lois?
Clark : Um, I don't know. She hasn't said anything all day. But I don't know why Lucy would run away. I mean, Lucy is her family.
Lex : Just because you have the same blood running through your veins doesn't make you family. Look at us, Clark. I'm a product of my father's breeding. He needed an heir. But your parents chose you out of love. I'd take your family any day of the week.
Clark nods and smiles slightly, touched.
Clark : I just think Lois and Lucy could've been closer.
Lex : Well, hopefully, one day they will be. But that's up to them. So quit blaming yourself for what happened.
Lex starts to leave.
Clark : Lex. [Lex stops with his back to Clark.] Do you ever miss not having a sibling?
Lex : I used to... [He turns around.] Until I met you, Clark. You're closer to me than any... blood brother.
They look at each other for a moment, then Lex leaves. Clark takes out a rag and slowly walks back to the saddle and begins to shine it.
Act 5 Scene 2
Outside shot of Smallville High School. Day. Inside, Clark walks through the crowded hallway. Chloe walks up to him.
Chloe : Hey.
Clark : Hey.
Chloe : Have you recovered from Hurricane Lucy yet?
Clark : I just hope she changes her ways before she gets herself hurt.
Chloe : You know, it never fails. Keeping secrets always leads to trouble. I don't know which is more difficult, being the one keeping the secret or the one who's being duped.
Chloe looks at Clark pointedly. He changes the subject.
Clark : Have you, uh, talked to Lois? She's been holed up in her room all day. She took it all pretty hard.
They stop walking.
Chloe : Yeah, well, ever since I could remember, the one thing Lois has always wanted is to protect her little sister.
Clark : I guess no matter how bad you want to, you just can't save everyone.
Chloe : But it doesn't stop you from trying. Does it, Clark?
She smiles slyly at him and walks away.
Act 5 Scene 3
Lex enters his study where Lionel is seated at the desk. Day.
Lex : Dad, clearly the idea of personal space is lost on you.
Lionel : Lex, one of your employees paid me a visit recently, and I wasn't clear whether it was official business or what it was.
Lionel stands from the desk and walks around it, giving Lex his space back.
Lex : As far as I know, our outstanding business if finished.
Lionel : Well, he--Jason Teague, that's who it was--accused me of taking something that didn't belong to me, of stealing.
An annoyed expression crosses Lex's face.
Lex : Well, it wouldn't be the first time.
Lionel : Be that as it may, the accusation was false.
Lex sits down at the desk.
Lionel : [Thoughtful.] But given what's missing, I almost wish I was guilty.
Lex : What was it?
Lionel : You know the answer to that question, Lex. You're the one who took it from him.
Lex : Dad, if you want to play games, there's a deck of cards in the parlor.
Lionel : Let's talk about games. You hire someone to travel to China to search for an ancient artifact. He finds it, he steals it, but he keeps it for himself. Then you have to steal it back from him. [Chuckling.] You've turned hot potato into an art form, son.
Lex looks at Lionel in shock.
Lex : Jason Teague found the stone?
Lionel : Either you are the best con man in the world, or you are truly unbelievably naive.
Lex lowers his eyes, ruminating.
Lionel : Good afternoon, Lex.
Lionel leaves the study. Lex remains quite still at the desk, too stunned to move.
Act 5 Scene 4
Lana enters her apartment in the Talon. Night. She turns on the light and closes the door. Then she walks over to the window and opens it, climbing through it to the fire escape outside. On the side of the building is pipe and she unscrews the end of it, reaching in and pulling out a folded handkerchief.
She opens the handkerchief revealing the stone. She looks at it somewhat nervously, but without any surprise, as she is the one who put it there.
Act 5 Scene 5
A shot of the stars in the night sky. Lois is looking at them through Clark's telescope in the loft. Clark comes up the stairs. Lois's attitude is curt.
Clark : I thought you said that telescopes were for geeks and stalkers.
Lois : Yeah, well, as was proven over the last few days, I can seriously misjudge people. [Clark nods.] You know, if you've come to kick me off the farm, I completely understand.
Clark : Yeah, um, actually I came here to tell you we have food in the oven if you're hungry.
Lois : [Quickly.] Thanks.
Clark smiles, seeing that Lois is hiding her feelings.
Clark : How you holding up?
Lois : I just got off the phone with the general.
Clark : Oh, that was all the screaming I heard from the house.
Lois : Yeah. Well, apparently, he is very disappointed in me for letting this happen, and as far as my family chain of command goes, I am the weakest link.
Clark : [Genuine.] I'm sorry.
Lois : Don't be. You know, there's something cathartic about telling a three-star general to go to hell.
Lois's breath becomes uneven and she turns away from Clark.
Lois : Uh, you know, all these years, I thought I had my sister pegged. But, uh, in reality she's a complete stranger to me. [She turns back to Clark.]
Clark : Even if that were true, I think that if she called you tomorrow, you'd be there in a second to help her.
Lois : Yeah, I would. She's my sister.
Clark : I don't think Lucy's all that bad.
Lois : You're amazing, Smallville. You always look for the best in people even when they walk all over you.
Clark : I guess that explains why we're friends.
Lois : Oh, we're friends now?
Clark : Well, I won't tell anyone if you don't.
Lois nods at Clark, accepting his jab. He smiles. Lois punches Clark on the shoulder and exits the loft.
Clark looks into the telescope and sees two comets flying toward each other in the sky. When the comets cross each other's paths, there is a bright flash of light, and then they both continue on their way.

text: SE 501 Software Development Processes Dr. Basit Qureshi College of Computer Science and Information Systems Prince Sultan University Lecture for Week 4 Contents • What are Metrics…? – Process – Project – Product • Software Measurement – – – – Size oriented Metrics Function Oriented Metrics Object Oriented Metrics Metrics for Software Quality • Integrating Metrics in Software Process • FP Estimation example • Summary SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 2 Bibliography • Pressman, Software Engineering: A practitioners Approach, 7th Ed. 2009 • Managing Software Development version 2, Companion Guide, Carnegie Mellon University, pp 169-175, 2000. SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 3 WHAT ARE METRICS…? SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 4 What are metrics…? • Metrics are: – Measurements – Collections of data about project activities – Resources – Deliverables • Metrics can be used to help estimate projects, measure project progress and performance, and quantify product attributes SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 5 What are Metrics? • Software process and project metrics are quantitative measures • They are a management tool • They offer insight into the effectiveness of the software process and the projects that are conducted using the process as a framework • Basic quality and productivity data are collected • These data are analyzed, compared against past averages, and assessed • The goal is to determine whether quality and productivity improvements have occurred • The data can also be used to pinpoint problem areas • Remedies can then be developed and the software process can be improved 6 A Quote on Measurement "When you can measure what you are speaking about and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely, in your thoughts, advanced to the stage of science." LORD WILLIAM KELVIN (1824 – 1907) 7 Reasons to Measure • To characterize in order to – Gain an understanding of processes, products, resources, and environments – Establish baselines for comparisons with future assessments • To evaluate in order to – Determine status with respect to plans • To predict in order to – Gain understanding of relationships among processes and products – Build models of these relationships • To improve in order to – Identify roadblocks, root causes, inefficiencies, and other opportunities for improving product quality and process performance 8 Software metrics…? • Software metrics can be classified into three categories: – Product metrics (size, complexity, performance) – Process metrics (used to improve development and maintenance) – Project metrics (cost, schedule, productivity) SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 9 Metrics in Process Domain • Process metrics are collected across all projects and over long periods of time • They are used for making strategic decisions • The intent is to provide a set of process indicators that lead to long-term software process improvement • The only way to know how/where to improve any process is to – Measure specific attributes of the process – Develop a set of meaningful metrics based on these attributes – Use the metrics to provide indicators that will lead to a strategy for improvement SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 10 Metrics in Process Domain • We measure the effectiveness of a process by deriving a set of metrics based on outcomes of the process such as – Errors uncovered before release of the software – Defects delivered to and reported by the end users – Work products delivered – Human effort expended – Calendar time expended – Conformance to the schedule – Time and effort to complete each generic activity SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 11 Metrics in Project Domain • Project metrics enable a software project manager to – – – – – Assess the status of an ongoing project Track potential risks Uncover problem areas before their status becomes critical Adjust work flow or tasks Evaluate the project team's ability to control quality of software work products • Many of the same metrics are used in both the process and project domain • Project metrics are used for making tactical decisions – They are used to adapt project workflow and technical activities SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 12 Metrics in Project Domain • The first application of project metrics occurs during estimation – Metrics from past projects are used as a basis for estimating time and effort • As a project proceeds, the amount of time and effort expended are compared to original estimates • As technical work commences, other project metrics become important – Production rates are measured (represented in terms of models created, review hours, function points, and delivered source lines of code) – Error uncovered during each generic framework activity (i.e, communication, planning, modeling, construction, deployment) are measured SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 13 Metrics in Project Domain • Project metrics are used to – Minimize the development schedule by making the adjustments necessary to avoid delays and mitigate potential problems and risks – Assess product quality on an ongoing basis and, when necessary, to modify the technical approach to improve quality Benefits • As quality improves, defects are minimized • As defects go down, the amount of rework required during the project is also reduced • As rework goes down, the overall project cost is reduced SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 14 SOFTWARE MEASUREMENTS SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 15 Categories for Software Measurement • Two categories of software measurement – Direct measures of the • Software process (cost, effort, etc.) • Software product (lines of code produced, execution speed, defects reported over time, etc.) – Indirect measures of the • Software product (functionality, quality, complexity, efficiency, reliability, maintainability, etc.) • Project metrics can be consolidated to create process metrics for an organization SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 16 KLOC • Derived by normalizing quality and/or productivity measures by considering the size of the software produced • Thousand lines of code (KLOC) are often chosen as the normalization value • Metrics include – – – – – – – Errors per KLOC Errors per person-month Defects per KLOC KLOC per person-month Dollars per KLOC Dollars per page of documentation Pages of documentation per KLOC SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 17 KLOC • Size-oriented metrics are not universally accepted as the best way to measure the software process • Opponents argue that KLOC measurements – – – – Are dependent on the programming language Penalize well-designed but short programs Cannot easily accommodate nonprocedural languages Require a level of detail that may be difficult to achieve • Many problems – The ambiguity of the counting – meaning is not the same with Assembler or high-level languages – What to count? Blank lines, comments, data definitions, only executable lines..? – Problematic for productivity studies: the amount of LOC is negatively correlated with design efficiency SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 18 Function Point (FP) • Based on a combination of program characteristics – – – – external inputs and outputs user interactions external interfaces files used by the system • A weight is associated with each of these • The function point count is computed by multiplying each raw count by the weight and summing all values SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 19 Function Point (FP) • Function point count modified by complexity of the project • FPs can be used to estimate LOC depending on a language factor – LOC = AVC * number of function points – AVC is a language-dependent factor • FPs can be very subjective, depend on estimator – Automatic function-point counting maybe impossible SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 20 Function Point (FP) System Elements and their Complexity SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 21 Function Point (FP) • Count the following: – – – – – inputs outputs inquiries logical internal files external interfaces • Apply "simple, average, complex" multipliers • Apply the 14 adjustment factors (such as designed for reuse? in a heavy traffic environment? etc.) SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 22 Function Point (FP) • Compute the technical complexity factor (TCF) – Assign a value from 0 ("not present") to 5 ("strong influence throughout") to each of 14 factors such as transaction rates, portability – Add 14 numbers => total degree of influence (DI) TCF = 0.65 + 0.01 * DI – Technical complexity factor (TCF) lies between 0.65 and 1.35 • The number of function points (FP) is given by FP = UFP * TCF SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 23 Function Point (FP) Converting Function Points to Lines of Code LOC/Function Code Point Language SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 24 Function Point (FP) • Like the KLOC measure, function point use also has proponents and opponents • Proponents claim that – FP is programming language independent – FP is based on data that are more likely to be known in the early stages of a project, making it more attractive as an estimation approach • Opponents claim that – FP requires some "sleight of hand" because the computation is based on subjective data – Counts of the information domain can be difficult to collect after the fact – FP has no direct physical meaning…it's just a number SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 25 Function Point (FP) • Relationship between LOC and FP depends upon – The programming language that is used to implement the software – The quality of the design • FP and LOC have been found to be relatively accurate predictors of software development effort and cost – However, a historical baseline of information must first be established • LOC and FP can be used to estimate object-oriented software projects – However, they do not provide enough granularity for the schedule and effort adjustments required in the iterations of an evolutionary or incremental process SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 26 Object Oriented Metrics • Number of scenario scripts (i.e., use cases) – This number is directly related to the size of an application and to the number of test cases required to test the system • Number of key classes (the highly independent components) – Key classes are defined early in object-oriented analysis and are central to the problem domain – This number indicates the amount of effort required to develop the software – It also indicates the potential amount of reuse to be applied during development • Number of support classes – Support classes are required to implement the system but are not immediately related to the problem domain (e.g., user interface, database, computation) – This number indicates the amount of effort and potential reuse SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 27 Object Oriented Metrics • Average number of support classes per key class – Key classes are identified early in a project (e.g., at requirements analysis) – Estimation of the number of support classes can be made from the number of key classes – GUI applications have between two and three times more support classes as key classes – Non-GUI applications have between one and two times more support classes as key classes • Number of subsystems – A subsystem is an aggregation of classes that support a function that is visible to the end user of a system SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 28 Metrics for Software Quality • Correctness – This is the number of defects per KLOC, where a defect is a verified lack of conformance to requirements – Defects are those problems reported by a program user after the program is released for general use • Maintainability – This describes the ease with which a program can be corrected if an error is found, adapted if the environment changes, or enhanced if the customer has changed requirements – Mean time to change (MTTC) : the time to analyze, design, implement, test, and distribute a change to all users • Maintainable programs on average have a lower MTTC SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 29 Metrics for Software Quality • Defect removal efficiency provides benefits at both the project and process level • It is a measure of the filtering ability of QA activities as they are applied throughout all process framework activities – It indicates the percentage of software errors found before software release SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 30 Metrics for Software Quality • Defect removal efficiency is defined as DRE = E / (E + D) – E is the number of errors found before delivery of the software to the end user – D is the number of defects found after delivery • As D increases, DRE decreases (i.e., becomes a smaller and smaller fraction) • The ideal value of DRE is 1, which means no defects are found after delivery • DRE encourages a software team to institute techniques for finding as many errors as possible before delivery SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 31 INTEGRATING METRICS WITHIN THE SOFTWARE PROCESS SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 32 Arguments for Software Metrics • Most software developers do not measure, and most have little desire to begin • Establishing a successful company-wide software metrics program can be a multi-year effort • But if we do not measure, there is no real way of determining whether we are improving • Measurement is used to establish a process baseline from which improvements can be assessed • Software metrics help people to develop better project estimates, produce higher-quality systems, and get products out the door on time 33 Establishing a Metrics Baseline • By establishing a metrics baseline, benefits can be obtained at the software process, product, and project levels • The same metrics can serve many masters • The baseline consists of data collected from past projects • Baseline data must have the following attributes – Data must be reasonably accurate (guesses should be avoided) – Data should be collected for as many projects as possible – Measures must be consistent (e.g., a line of code must be interpreted consistently across all projects) – Past applications should be similar to the work that is to be estimated • After data is collected and metrics are computed, the metrics should be evaluated and applied during estimation, technical work, project control, and process improvement 34 Software Metrics Baseline Process Software Engineering Process Measures Software Project Data Collection Metrics Software Product Metrics Computation Indicators Metrics Evaluation 35 Getting Started with Metrics 1) Understand your existing process 2) Define the goals to be achieved by establishing a metrics program 3) Identify metrics to achieve those goals – Keep the metrics simple – Be sure the metrics add value to your process and product 4) Identify the measures to be collected to support those metrics (More on next slide) 36 Getting Started with Metrics (continued) 5) Establish a measurement collection process a) b) c) d) e) f) 6) 7) 8) What is the source of the data? Can tools be used to collect the data? Who is responsible for collecting the data? When are the data collected and recorded? How are the data stored? What validation mechanisms are used to ensure the data are correct? Acquire appropriate tools to assist in collection and assessment Establish a metrics database Define appropriate feedback mechanisms on what the metrics indicate about your process so that the process and the metrics program can be improved 37 FP ESTIMATION EXAMPLE SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 38 FP Estimation Example • Case Study: Delta Consulting Group plans to automate accounts payable system. • Read Accompanying document (Case study) • Read Notes from Pressman (Chapter 23) • Look at Solution provided (Website) SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 39 Summary • • • • • What are Metrics… Software Measurement Integrating Metrics in Software Process FP Estimation example Summary SE 501 Dr. Basit Qureshi 40

The U.S newpaper Hill has published an article by famous Israeli writer Maayan Jaffe titled "Azerbaijan-Israel relationship is glimmer of hope, model for Muslim-Jewish peace", SIA reports.
According to author with the recent, tragic terror attack by Hamas in Jerusalem we become increasingly disillusioned about the prospects for peace in the Middle East.
Maayan Jaffe also noted that from one war to another in Israel. Chaos on all of its borders. Heightened anti-Semitic attacks by Muslims against Jews in Europe and now in the U.S. But inside the mess there is an almost striking glimmer of hope. And that is in the relationship between Israel and the Muslim-majority country Azerbaijan.
In her article, Maayan Jaffe says in mid-September, Israeli ambassador to Azerbaijan, Rafi Harpaz, met Azerbaijan ambassador to the U.S., Elin Suleymanov, for a tour of the Jewish East Coast, adding that the pair traveled together in New York, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia, among other places, to talk about the close ties between the Jewish State and the Muslim country." the article says.
"Both countries feel equally close and supportive of the U.S., while simultaneously struggling with a degree of disenfranchisement. Still, the fact that Washington is keen on criticizing Azerbaijan much more than other nations in the region is hard to miss. Even criticism of U.S. arch-enemy Iran is now less frequent than that aimed at America's ally Azerbaijan. Moreover, the U.S. seems to be content with Azerbaijan's neighbor, Armenia's tightening domestic repression and its total surrender of sovereignty to Russia by joining the Putin's Customs Union on humiliating terms. Azerbaijan is the first secular Muslim-majority country built on the principles of a Western-style democracy with a constitution that granted equal rights to all citizens, including voting rights for women".
The efforts to maintain a more open society in Azerbaijan are criticized as political pressure despite the lessons that should have been learned in recent years around the word." author highlights in her article.
"In an era when it seems the Jews are increasingly isolated and that Israel is often on its own in the battle for the eradication of Muslim extremism, it is comforting to know that Muslims and Jews can get along and that Israel has a partner in Azerbaijan."

Other Cities Look at L.A.'s Transit Funding Plan
Minn Post looks at whether the idea could work in the Twin Cities.
"If approved by Congress, the Los Angeles plan would constitute a new kind of federal-local partnership in transportation investment. 'We think it's a pretty intriguing idea,' said Susan Haigh, chair of the Metropolitan Council. The formula is a focus of current research on how to accelerate the transit build-out in the metro area.
'We're focused on jobs and economic development,' Haigh said, 'but that doesn't happen without investments in transit and transportation. The question is how can you take advantage of transit's return on investment to advance and accelerate transit projects.'
The answer will be data-driven, she said, but it's not yet clear whether the Los Angeles model can work here."

"Edaran?" A voice called out. He recognised it, and it surprised him, although he pretended to still be asleep. "Edaran?" It called out again. He heard the faintest of scuffling and for a moment he thought the person to be gone. Then he felt hands shake him roughly. "Edaran!" She shouted. He rolled over to see Clara.
Edaran rubbed his eyes, as if she had just woken him. "What?" He grumbled.
"Sorry about old scruff face." She smiled. It took him a whle to realise she was referring to the Sergeant.
"Yeah right, I heard you laughing." She giggled then, just like Dalaena, only her voice was far more shrill. It was annoying.
"Only for a little bit though." She hopped onto his bed, looking at him. She stared constantly. That was annoying too. "But scruff face always takes it too far. He's a grumpy old sot." She blew a raspberry then, at nobody in particular.
"Well you could of helped." He moaned, and pulled out an arm he'd been leaning on. As well as creases from lying on the bed, the whole thing was a yellowish colour, as if he had taken a dive in custard. She grasped it in her dainty fingers and inspected it.
"He doesn't listen to me." She pouted, and then dropped it. "Or else I would have him training me too." She folded her arms; Edaran put his back under the cover.
"If you call that training." Edaran frowned, unwilling to recall any of the beating he had taken. "Back home, our Sergeant taught us good things, like how to make a man fall right into your sword." He remembered fondly. That was what they had been working on before he had left. Devlin had helped him refine that art too.
Clara had pulled herself to her knees, her face closer to his. "Do they train girls there too?" She wondered.
"No." Her face fell instantly. "Well, Actually I do not know, Delly was never interested in swords so far as I knew. So, maybe." Edaran had always assumed girls didn't have the talent for it. Boys protected girls, and that was how it was supposed to be, right?
"Delly?" She asked.
"Oh yeah, Dalaena." He explained. Her eyes lighted up.
"Oh!" She jumped off the bed then, and went to close the door, though peaking outside into the corridor first. "Dalaena is so nice, when she got here nearly a year ago, I used to chat to her every night. I would come into her room, and she would tell me all about Dawnrose and the wonderful fields of white flowers." She went off on her tangent. "She used to braid my hair, sometimes she had a little crown of daisies ready for me, and we would talk all night." It made him angry, the way she spoke. So this is what Dalaena had been doing whilst he was left at home with little Deglan and his parents. She was here getting a new family, leaving Edaran. Now that he finally had her back, she had not bothered to visit in many days. "Delly." The girl let the word roll of her tongue. Edaran had almost forgotten she was there. "Delly. It's a funny word. Oh Delly is so pretty too. I hope that I look like her one—"
"—it's Dalaena to you, and she is my sister, not yours. We belong home, not here in this stupid place!" He yelled.
"Well you aint home now are you?" The girl snapped back, and then seemed surprised at her own words. "We're the only family you've got." She said finally. She came to his side and leaned against his bed. "Sorry, but I guess you will just have to make do." She rolled her eyes.

Additionally, fans should not purchase any type of credential or pass for the Georgia-Auburn game. Media credentials are not for sale, and they do not guarantee the bearer a seat within Sanford Stadium or a spot on the sidelines.
³Ticket scalping is against the law, and it causes a lot of problems on game day,² said Arthur Johnson, Georgia¹s Associate AD For Internal Affairs. ³The bottom line is fans should be very, very careful. You can get burned and taken advantage of. And by the time you get back to the corner where you spent your money, they¹ll be gone.²
Added Georgia Ticket Manager Tim Cearley, ³Fans are taking a risk anytime they purchase from a secondary market source.²
Fans are reminded that in addition to not having Ticketmaster markings, legitimate tickets, credentials and passes also do not have the time listed on them as they were printed before the season began. Legitimate tickets have foil markings for authenticity.
Earlier this week, it was announced that three Atlanta men had been arrested for their involvement in what is believed to be a nationwide ticket-counterfeiting ring. When the three men were arrested, law enforcement officials found more than 190 fake tickets for the Indianapolis-New England game as well as hundreds of fake tickets for NFL and college games.

I was kind of skeptical of this product at first. But after receiving it and installing it and boom I was amazed. Fits the molded rod holders of my outback snugly with the orings of course. With the extra pad eyes and bolts I made some leash holders. Another great product!. Highly recommend this over the hobie version.
Bought them to use with my Feelfree 10' sit on top fishing kayak. They fit nicely into the rod holders and keep my reels up away from the water. Allows me easier access to get my rods as I am kayaking. Good product at a reasonable price and it dose exactly as I need it to do.

SAN DIEGO -- Rapid reaction from the New England Patriots' 23-20 win against the San Diego Chargers:
What it means: Stunning finish. This was a game the Patriots were in control of midway through the third quarter, ahead 20-3 after a terrific long drive. But the Chargers came roaring back. With the Patriots leading 23-20 with two minutes remaining, they went for it on fourth-and-1. BenJarvus Green-Ellis was stopped for a loss, turning the ball over to the Chargers. It was almost like fourth-and-2 in Indianapolis all over again. But a Kris Brown 50-yard field goal with 23 seconds left hit the left upright and bounced into the field of play, giving the Patriots the hold-on-by-the-seat-of-your-pants victory. The field goal would have been 45 yards, but a false start penalty pushed it to 50.
Onside kick hurts Patriots: After the Chargers closed to 23-13 midway through the fourth quarter, they successfully executed an onside kick. The Patriots had their regular return unit on the field, and while it was an extremely well-executed onside kick, the result also led to some natural second-guessing as to whether the Patriots should have done something differently from a personnel perspective in anticipation of the onside kick. The Chargers moved up the field for a touchdown, closing to 23-20 with 4:01 remaining.
Kickoff out of bounds aids Patriots: After the Chargers scored to make it 23-20 with 4:01 left, the Patriots got the ball at their own 40 after Kris Brown's kickoff sailed out of bounds. The Patriots worked the clock, not snapping the ball until late on the play clock, but faced a fourth-and-1 from their 49 after an 8-yard catch by Wes Welker, a run for no gain by Danny Woodhead and then a 1-yard catch by Welker. The Patriots challenged the spot on the Welker catch at the two-minute warning, but the ruling on the field stood. That set up a fourth-and-1 and BenJarvus Green-Ellis was stopped, although the defense rose up.
Offensive adjustments in second half: The Patriots' offense played as poorly as it has all season in the first half. They had just 38 net yards in the first two quarters. But some adjustments at the break sparked an 18-play touchdown drive (including penalties) that chewed up 8:35 and culminated in Green-Ellis' 1-yard touchdown run as the Patriots went ahead 20-3. It was the drive of the game, as it featured two third-down conversions and a fourth-and-1 conversion as well. The touchdown came on third-and-goal from the 1. The adjustments included going to a semi no-huddle type attack and inserting Ryan Wendell at left guard in place of Dan Connolly.
Defense bends but doesn't break: A unit that is growing on the job, the Patriots' defense did its part against the NFL's No. 1 offense, and of course, received some help from the Chargers, who shot themselves in the foot. Still, credit must be given to a defense that in Week 3 against the Bills looked like one of the worst in the NFL. The final stop -- making the Chargers set up for a long field goal -- was huge.
Patriots injuries to watch: Safety Pat Chung left the game in the first half with a knee injury and did not return. Receiver Matt Slater, one of the Patriots' top special teams players, left the game in the second quarter with an ankle injury and did not return.
What's next: The Patriots return home for a late-afternoon Halloween game against the Vikings. Think there will be some pregame hype for that one with Randy Moss returning to town? The Patriots will be donning their throwback uniforms in the game.

The First Suspicion
I first suspected that Danielle was a witch when I heard her singing an old song in Latin under her breath, in perfect fluency.
Well, I take that back. It wasn't a song. It was a chant. A spell.
"Dani!" I whispered loudly. "What is that song?" I asked her.
"An old song my mother sang me when I was small," she answered, turning around in her seat in Biology.
She sat in front of me next to a kid named Travis Day, who had short dusty brown hair and grayish eyes, but was very nice.
I sat in the back, alone, but that was alright. I had Dani, as long as the teacher didn't notice us.
I was about to ask her what the song was when a harsh "Sh!" cut through my question. I sat back in my seat and Dani turned around to face the front, paying full attention as if she had never turned around.
That was when I noticed the glitter around her seat. It seemed to have fallen from the ceiling, or, more accurately, Dani's hair.
Why did that happen every time Dani sang a song in Latin like that?

The CallMature
With Leroy in a cell back at base, waiting for his day in court, the two cops resumed their patrol. Nothing had been called in on the radio yet, so Roy took the opportunity to school Bert.
"You're a good kid Bert, but you've got to keep your head. Policing isn't just diving into a situation head first, you have to sit back and take it in. Chasing crims is too much work for an old guy like me." He joked, "You have to work out how to make them come to you."
"Right. Got it."
"And don't always be so serious, you can be a good cop and still have some fun."
The radio buzzed in from dispatch. "Officer Dullins, we have an emergency call from 36 Hall Avenue in Smithsfield. The line cut off, but we traced the call. Probably a prank call, but check it out."
"No worries Alice, we've got it covered."
Bert set the address into the GPS as Roy turned the patrol car around and turned on the lights.
"You ready Bert? I'll let you take the lead on this one. Just remember, do all your thinking up front and you'll do alright."
"Taking the lead on a prank call? Gee, thanks Roy."
For once Roy didn't have a smile on his face.
"I've got a feeling it's not going to be that easy."
