...sensible, civic-minded spirit doesn't guarantee the losing camp won't sue when it's all over. But Minnesota law, which was perfected after a gubernatorial recount in 1962, has a plan in case of a dead tie: a coin flip. The state already did one this year for a school-board seat in Farmington. Ritchie has been looking around for a good coin for the Coleman-Franken race; he says the quarter with Minnesota on the back is the way to go.

Camelbak Better Bottle This sports bottle won't spill thanks to its "flip, bite-n-sip" design, even when the flip lock is left open. That makes it ideal for driving, or drinking in a middle seat on a full flight. Made with BPA-free plastic, Camelbak's Better Bottle has a sporty design, complete with a bottle-top loop that can be clipped with a carabiner to a backpack; optional sports caps also are available.

...Want to make a movie?" I asked my daughter Clementine, giving her the sleek Flip MinoHD ($230). I tossed the slightly larger Kodak Zi6 ($180) to her best pal, Katie. "Let me know how it goes, kids." They tootled off excitedly to make a caper film, and I turned my attention to online poker. Sometimes this job is so easy, I feel like Tom Sawyer...

...dismayed by his school. He walks through his halls, pointing out the litter on the floor and the broken lockers. Rhodes is 6 ft. 8 in. (2 m) tall, so he has to look down to talk to almost everyone. He wears white tube socks under his black Nike flip-flops and carries his large frame deliberately, like a gentle overseer. "You see all these lockers? None of them work," he says. "This classroom over here is supposed to be for home economics, but it's never been fixed...
