If Seattle's careworn mayor survives the August primary -- as Ed Murray fully believes the city's press release happy chief executive will -- voters, he predicts, can expect one of the nastiest political showdowns in memory. "I think this is going to be the ugliest campaign Seattle has ever seen," posits Murray, who fully believes, too, that it will be he who squares off against McGinn when the leaves turn brown.
A state lawmaker the past eighteen years, and now nursing a restless urge to sever ties with Olympia – especially in light of this year's Republican-staged coup that robbed him of his post as Senate Democratic majority leader – Murray has nothing but disdain for McGinn, who after four years in office languishes at just 22 percent in a recent poll. "We have a mayor who says he'll fight for Seattle, but actually he's mayor who fights with Seattle," he grouses during an interview late last month at what was temporary campaign headquarters in Pioneer Square before moving last week into Tim Burgess's old digs on Capitol Hill – this, following a phone call from Murray operative Christian Sinderman to make sure there'd be no hard feelings on the part of the councilman who suddenly bowed out of the race last month.
"His governing style is very contentious and confrontational," Murray goes on about McGinn. "He never articulated an agenda. It has all been very fragmented and disorganized."
Murray, 58, the son of a steel yard worker, an Irish Catholic Kennedy-worshipping kid from Alki – one of seven children – who spent his formative years in Lacey, has a lot going for him now that mayoral race seems to have winnowed to four leading candidates, architect Peter Steinbrueck and council member Bruce Harrell being the other two.
Murray's name is indelibly linked to the passage of last year's gay marriage legislation, which earned him a trellis of enthusiastic volunteers, a raft of sole or dual endorsements in Democratic legislative districts, and a gush of more than $200,000 in contributions, a sizeable hunk coming in $74 denominations, a symbolic tribute to Referendum 74 which saw voters affirm the Murray-sponsored bill. He's got an independent political committee, "People for Ed Murray" working to fill campaign coffers, as Murray is barred from raising money during the special legislative session.
Also, as House capital budget chairman and later as transportation chair, Murray managed to forge a business-labor-environmental alliance that helped him spearhead the only meaningful tax increases the state has seen in 20 years -- gas taxes in 2003 and 2005 (totaling 15 cents) to upgrade the state's transportation infrastructure.
Murray says the most critical issue facing Seattle is transportation. The city can have density where appropriate, he says, more responsive policing, better schools, and greater supply of affordable housing. "But none of this works as far as creating a more livable community without good transportation."
From his state capital perch, Murray maintains that Seattle city government has become too quarrelsome, with one battle following another – the viaduct, the blame-game surrounding the police department, the $1.8 billion backlog in deferred maintenance for road improvements. He also believes that Seattle needs to take a more regional approach to matters like transportation and not seal itself off as it where a moat pulling up the drawbridge. "I believe I bring a different skill set than anyone else running," he says. "I think if I can work in a contentious atmosphere like Olympia, than I believe I can be a successful mayor here."
Still, Murray's detractors sense that the senator, a longtime resident of North Capitol Hill, has become a creature of Olympia, ensconced in policy and that he lacks command of the gritty issues and concerns that drive Seattle's sensibilities. Then, there's the fact that unlike his chief rivals, Murray has never run a citywide race before.
Murray dismisses these potential speed bumps, saying, "I live here. I know and understand this city. There's nothing that I've have done in Olympia that doesn't have an effect on Seattle."
As to his differences with Steinbrueck and Harrell, Murray signals what the arguments he'll marshal over the eight weeks. "I will have a more collaborative relationship. He took a more contentious approach during his time on the council," he says of Steinbrueck. "And I don't buy into his lesser Seattle ideas." As for Harrell, who Murray endorsed in both his council races, "I bring eighteen years of working on some huge problems on a scale he hasn't seen or dealt with."
Murray is clearly annoyed by the perception, a narrative that still lingers, that he's a hothead. It's a rap, and an unfair one ("mudslinging," fumes Murray) that percolated during his early years in Olympia when his patience for conservative points of view was perhaps less cultivated than it is today.
"I don't think I could have accomplished this (the gay marriage law) if I were this angry gay guy," says Murray, noting that he moved incrementally forward with a ground-breaking anti-discrimination measure in 2006, following that up with a series of domestic partnership bills between 2007 and 2009 -- then embarking on his all-out quest for marriage equality. "I am emotional, but I wouldn't have gotten the kind of loyalty I've had from my staff, and I wouldn't have accomplished the things I have if I had an anger problem."
Murray's intensity can quickly yield to light-hearted banter that reveals a graying self-aware man with a slight hereditary tremor craving to be centered. He takes long walks with his dog, a King Charles spaniel named Rory. "Michael (Shiosaki, his longtime partner) though it was a good idea to have a dog because it kept me balanced." An admirer of the late Thomas Merton, a Trappist monk and social activist, Murray every three or four years goes off for a few days to a Benedictine monastery to put his spiritual side in order.
He's a bird watcher, too, communing with his fine feathered friends out past the University of Washington or, when in Olympia, wandering the Nisqually Plateau. He has a bird watching app on his smartphone that when touched goes "tweet, tweet, tweet."
With a wide smile, his piercing blue eyes brightening, Murray confides, "I got these binoculars that can correct for that tremor."
As for the inevitable political tremors soon to unfold, Murray says, "I know that it would have been very easy for me to stay in the state senate. But no, I'm up for the challenge. I'm ready to take this step forward."

Retail Leader of the Year: Don Zietlow
A look at the man who built Kwik Trip into a $4.2 billion business with heart, soul and a purpose.
If any convenience chain were a reflection of its owner, it would be Kwik Trip.
Don Zietlow has built a $4.2-billion business on selling life's simple necessities and living by the simple rule of doing unto others.
But if life were simple, assembling a 433-store, vertically integrated chain would be commonplace. And there's nothing common about Kwik Trip, nor the people behind its success.
Since its inception in 1965, La Crosse, Wis.-based Kwik Trip has evolved into a regional icon, finding profit in knowing what the customer wants and coming up with the best, most efficient way to deliver. For Zietlow, that meant taking control of the supply chain, spending more than $1 billion on a foodservice infrastructure and pairing the Golden Rule with a hunger to be the best.
But building a complex, enduring business was never the end goal. For Zietlow, the people who work for Kwik Trip are its most vital resource and the reason the chain strives for excellence. It's their humility, generosity and determination to improve their communities that makes Kwik Trip successful in his eyes.
To that end, Zietlow has practiced a thoughtful yet driven leadership style that led CSP to name him its 2012 Retail Leader of the Year.
One of the coolest things in Kwik Trip's bakery/commissary/dairy complex is a new, 20-foot-tall robotic arm that picks up large baking trays with a kind of magnetic suction and moves them from one roller belt to another. It's like something from an automobile assembly line.
Then there's the doughnut-glazing conveyor, the sandwich-packaging machine and, of course, the hulking device that fills thick plastic bags with Kwik Trip milk.
Not that automation is more interesting or important than people, but these formidable machines symbolize a business that's serious about what it produces. Kwik Trip makes what it sells—much of it, anyway. And in that ownership, the chain transcends the mechanical and moves into that hard-fought, hands-dirty Midwestern sensibility: a pride derived from making something yourself.
That's the innate quality resonating from the chain's employees, its leadership and most certainly its owner and CEO, Zietlow.
To know Kwik Trip is to know Zietlow. While a humble person and one to immediately credit his team before taking any himself, Zietlow, 77, has made an indelible impression on the convenience chain he heads. Like every good leader, he leads by example, driven by a combination of simple but undeniable truths: Do unto others, be the best and make a difference.
Zietlow will talk about the backbreaking work he did early in his career: The job as a truck driver that had him up at 4:30 a.m. pulling loads from La Crosse to meat plants in Albert Lea, Minn., and Waterloo, Iowa. The six-day-a-week schedule that had him openly complaining about how hard he worked for so little. The one with the supervisor who told him to either shut up or leave. And when he decided that if he were in the position to properly reward people for their hard work, he'd do it.
But that revelation was more of a focal point, an epiphany for someone already intent on doing good.
Formative Years
Zietlow did not have an easy upbringing. His father, Elmer Zietlow, died when Don and his brother David were boys, and the struggle to make sense of the loss played a big role in who Don became, what would motivate him at the core.
He had a stutter, one his wife, LaVonne, described as keeping him from putting four words together. (Humorously, she recalls, "It took him 10 minutes to ask me out on a date.") But it also made him a target at school. And it kept him from pursuing the career path he wanted: ministry.
Still, Zietlow grew up with stability, raised by strong women in his mother, Helen, and his Aunt Emma, as well as her husband, Paul. And his Lutheran upbringing introduced role models in his pastors and, in a broader sense, the church community.
The dueling elements of fortitude and frailty would instill in him an internal drumbeat, a drive to produce, provide and ultimately win.
It led him into business and the trucking position in the 1950s that would focus his drive, taking him from meat delivery to supervising grocery stores. Oddly enough, the success of Kwik Trip overshadows his equally notable career as a grocer: He rose through the ranks to become president of Gateway Foods, then a division of Reinhart Foodservice, Rosemont, Ill. Gateway owned five c-stores in the 1960s, which Zietlow bought with a business partner, John Hansen, in 1972. That's when Kwik Trip's true history begins. Reinhart remained a third partner in the business as it grew.
Reinhart would eventually sell Gateway Foods in 1989 and part ways with Kwik Trip. Hansen and Zietlow would be equal partners until 2000, when a divergence of goals—including the continuance of its already lucrative employee-benefits plan—motivated the Zietlow family to buy the company outright.
To ensure family ownership, Zietlow has already transferred the business to his three children: Steve, who manages the petroleum side of the business; Vicky Kunz, who participates in Kwik Trip's donation committees; and Scott, who is chairman of the Kwik Trip board and a physician at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. This move and giving the chain's real estate to its employees helped as far as taxes due upon the owner's death, which could potentially force a sale or raise issues with the company's stock.
Risk Taker
In many ways, Kwik Trip became Zietlow's clay, an opportunity to mold a business in the values in which he so believed.
Many talk of how adamant Zietlow can be regarding certain aspects of the business, especially when it comes to visionary, big-picture elements. Zietlow's grandson, Mark Zietlow, talks of a "confidence" his grandfather has about where the company should go.
"That confidence is a tough thing to get around … and tough to build and maintain," he says. "It's a tremendous quality, something to be admired."
"Don is a risk taker," says LaVonne Zietlow. Over the years, "his partners clashed over borrowing money. Don said, 'You have to borrow money to make money.' "
Yet one of the things he seems adamant about is being upbeat and having nice people around him. Steve Loehr, vice president of support operations for Kwik Trip, recalls a time when a journalist came to interview Zietlow. Not knowing what the Kwik Trip owner looked like, she happened to meet a nice gentleman as they both entered the corporate building. He opened the door for her and started a friendly conversation. She was shocked to find out it was Zietlow.
"People are always telling us the thing about our company is: The further up in management you go, the nicer people get," Loehr says.
But don't mistake nice for meek. Nice as a management style, at least with Kwik Trip, means little micromanagement and a ton of trust building. "Don will be the last one to take credit when things go right and the first one to take the blame if something goes wrong," Loehr says. "We'll discuss what needs to get done and he'll get out of our way."
Where does the confidence to let go come from? As much as Zietlow exudes a genuine, caring nature, he's also a numbers person.
LaVonne and many Kwik Trip employees attest to Zietlow's ability to compute numbers in his head. In an interview with CSP in 2009, when the chain won the magazine's annual mystery-shop program for the first of three times, Zietlow spontaneously updated a company statistic in his head, adding six-digit figures and coming up with a total. So it's no surprise to find out he enjoys numbers games and has a passion for cribbage.
All this is to say that as much as he trusts in people and his personal faith, he trusts numbers. And numbers don't lie.Over the past four years, Kwik Trip has managed record profits, even as the rest of the economy struggled through the worst recession in decades.

DOVER, Del. (AP) — A Republican state senator is proposing legislation to study whether all Delaware public schools should wait until after Labor Day to start classes.
Sen. Gerald Hocker of Ocean View says the move could mean more money for Delawareans, particularly high school students with summer jobs.
Hocker says only two of Delaware's 19 public school districts, both in Sussex County, started classes after Labor Day last year.
Carol Everhart, president of the Rehoboth Beach-Dewey Beach Chamber of Commerce, says earlier school start dates create serious staffing issues on one of the biggest beach tourism weekends of the year, Labor Day weekend.
Hocker's resolution, similar to legislation passed in neighboring Maryland, calls for a task force to study the idea and report its findings and recommendations by mid-January.

What our guests say...
I would just like to say a huge Thank you to all the staff at Broadoaks for making my Mum's Birthday stay very special. My mum (Barbara Kitchen) came to stay on 21st September and was blown away by the service, facilities and attention to detail and had a wonderful time.
Thanks again
My husband and I had the great pleasure of staying at this wonderful hotel on 13th September for the start of our 25th wedding anniversary. The facilities and service will blow your mind, we were made to feel so special and important, and the room was both spacious and stylish. We had a lovely surprise at dinner when the chef added a little message to our desert plate which added to that anniversary magic. From the minute we walked in the reception staff who were very helpful and informative we knew we had chosen well. This hotel delivers on the five stars it deserves. We will certainly be going back and recommending Broadoaks Country House Hotel to friends and family. Thank you so much for a magical experience.
All, Christine and myself have just returned home having spent a couple of days at Broadoaks. What a wonderful experience. From Lady Jo and Tracey downwards and ALL the staff, the care and attentiveness shown to us was quite simply second to none. All the staff were friendly, helpful, communicative and above all extremely professional. The room (Yew) was faultless. How could all this be topped? The food was as good, NO, better, than any other hotel we have ever stayed in. We have stayed in plenty over the years.
Again, we thank you most sincerely and do assure you that we shall most certainly return in the future.
Hi I just wanted to pass on our thanks and gratitude to all your staff members for making our stay a memorable one. Particularly the lovely lady on reception who managed to organise our afternoon cream teas even though we had arrived later than expected. Your staffs hospitality and level of professionalism was impressive and well appreciated. We all had a lovely & relaxed time and looking forward to a return trip. Take care
Just wanted to say a massive thank you for what was a wonderful stay at Broadoaks. The Boudoir was an unexpected, delightful upgrade surprise and we are really grateful for that experience. The touch of arranging a bottle of bubbly and card for my wife was incredibly thoughtful and generous and just underlined the quality and class of the place. Nothing was too much trouble, so sorry for taking the advantage of calling for our fire to be lit, or for breakfast in bed!!
We have just had a little girl and were looking for some R&R whilst the grandparents looked after her, and we certainly got that in spades.
We will certainly be placing a review on Trip Advisor and recommending the place to everyone, not to mention returning in the near future I hope! Keep up the very very good work!
To Tracy, Lady Jo and Andrea and staff.
Phillip & Phillippa's Wedding November 18th 2012
Just a few lines to say thank you to all of you for making the day so special. We were made so welcome and all the arrangements for the Day were so well organised.
Please pass my thanks to everyone.
To all staff at Broadoaks,
Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality at the wedding of George and Steve yesterday. As a guest I was so impressed by the beautiful venue, professional yet friendly staff and the warm welcome we all received. Nothing was too much trouble, the food was to die for and the accommodation was amazing. The attention to detail makes all the difference. Sadly our stay was just one night! Thank you for making the wedding such a special time for George and Steve and all their guests.
Kind regards,
A fabulous stay!
We drove up from Devon and our friends (Harry & Lynn Lea) joined us from Lancaster for what was a brilliant stay for the four of us at Broadoaks.
We were most impressed with the hospitality at Broadoaks and felt we should drop a line to convey our delight, and in particular nominate Nigel for 'going the extra mile' award.
From the moment we checked in, Nigel took us to our rooms and made us feel 'at home' straight away. Always with a smile, he was most attentive, polite and courteous throughout our stay. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him. Always in the background but there when we needed him...... he achieves the right balance between friendly and professional.
The team at Broadoaks create a warm, comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. We were able to relax completely and thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and yes! the fine dining and wine was absolutely superb.
I remember from my working days...... TEAM work (Together Everyone Achieves More) At Broadoaks this certainly comes accross, with fantastic staff working towards the comfort of the guest, and noticably the staff are able to 'multi task'......... Well done to all!
I'm sure it won't be too long before the four of us visit Broadoaks again, and we'll certainly 'spread the word'.
Many thanks once again to you all,
Dear Tracy and Joanne,
Since my wife and I were married many years ago, we have always spent Christmas as a familiy together. Last year was rather hectic and we thought this year we would spend Christmas away and let others take the workload. We made a booking at Broadoaks several months ago, but after doing so, we had doubts and concern whether or not we had made the right choice of venue. I am recently retired and I am in the "Grumpy old man" catagory and generally have a moan when things are not quite up to standard.
I would really like to congratulate you both on a really wonderful little corner of heaven you have put together here at Troutbeck. Every member of staff without exception have been so friendly and helpful beyond expectation. The food and cooking, again well above what we expected and the bedrooms and public rooms were clean, comfortable and well maintained. My views are also the views of all the other guests I came into contact with.
I'd like to thank you both very much for making this a really wonderful Christmas break for my wife and I. May I also take this opportunity to wish you both a happy and prosperous 2012.
I cannot speak highly enough about this hotel.
The welcome was warm and personal, the hotel was beautifully decorated while being warm and welcoming, the rooms very comfortable, the staff attentive but invisible, the Boss does not miss a thing, her attention to detail throughout the day is amazing she makes one feel you are the only guest. The food is unbelievable, how this does not have a Michelin 3 star rating I dont know. Would I go back...............cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you a million times over.
I still keep thinking back about how fun the whole time was. One of the best comments came from my cousin's husband, who is the manager of the 4 Seasons in San Francisco..."our events staff could learn from this service". But more fun than that, all our friends here keep calling us and saying how memorable their time at Broadoaks was.
Thank you so much.
With the kindest regards,
Kathryn and Mike (USA)
Hi Zoe,
Sorry there has been a bit of a delay but we just wanted to say thank you so much to all of you at Broadoaks that made our wedding day so special. The whole weekend was absolutely fabulous from start to finish and all of your hard work behind the scenes made it so relaxed!!
We had a number of people saying it was the best wedding they have been to and everyone thought the food was delicious! Thank you again to all of you for putting it all together.
Best Wishes
Lizzie and Ben Bishop
We recently visited Broadoaks for a short break after a hectic period at work, and we found that it provided all we were looking for. The location up on the hill in (or very near) Troutbeck was perfect; there were fantastic views down to Lake Windermere every morning, and one could embark on any number of splendid walks either straight from the door, or after a short drive.
Our room was very comfortable and warm, and we appreciated the plentiful supply of tea/coffee/hot chocolate/bottled water/fruit (especially after long walks). We especially enjoyed our pre-dinner drinks in the music room next to the roaring open fire, which provided the ideal setting to relax and meet fellow guests (if that was what one wanted). We ate in the restaurant for 3 nights, and although the menu did only change slightly over the 3 nights, we found that there was no shortage of appealing choices from which to choose. The wine list was varied and interesting, but we also found the house wines to be excellent choices. We also took coffee in the music room after dinner, and the little chocolates provided alongside were quite delicious!
All in all we found all the staff (and indeed the owners who were there when we visited) to be very attentive and professional. When we departed we felt we had been suitably pampered, and hope to return for another visit very soon.
Thanks again,
By walking into Broadoaks you are embarking on something truly special. Our stay over New Year was met with impeccable service without pretentiousness. Like a swan gliding across a lake the close-knit team makes running a hotel look easy! It will definitely be our first choice when we next visit.
Just wanted to say a big thank you to Joe, David, the Chefs and ALL the Staff who made our New Years Eve such a great one. From the minute we arrived we were made to feel at home and nothing was too much trouble despite the fact that you must have all worked very hard over the Christmas period….so well done!
Hope to see you soon.Best regards for a good 2009

Hi Javier,
to be honest with you I have never seen this happen. Are you 100% sure that that the installation is full and uncorrupted in some way?
Also, to be able to diagnose this further, we'd need to know more about your RHQ installation. What OS you use? Where is RHQ installed? Do you cd into it through some symlink? What java version do you use? I see that you "sudo" the start up script. How is JAVA_HOME or RHQ_SERVER_JAVA_HOME env variable set for root? Off top of my head those are the things that theoretically might influence the startup but we'll know more when you provide some more info.
Also does the server start up if you start it as the current user?

4. Re: JBoss On - Starting rhq-server.shLukas Krejci Aug 4, 2010 6:53 AM (in response to Javier M)
there should be no explicit need to run the rhq server as root. Normal user should be able to start it up as well. I thought you're doing it because of some policy you have defined in your environment, but as I said the RHQ server doesn't mandate to be run as root.
The fact that you get a permission denied error when the script is trying to create the PID file tells me that maybe you have some permission issues in the RHQ install dir.
What user owns the RHQ directory?
Does the file /home/my_home/jon-server-2.4.0.GA/bin/rhq-server.pid exist? If it does, who owns it?
You should delete the file before starting the server (it should be deleted automatically when you do rhq-server.sh stop), because that file contains the process id of the server, which would obviously be wrong if the file existed and you were starting a new server.
It is also very weird that the env variables aren't recognized when defined in the parent shell. I'd double check that you really are defining them and that they exist after you re-login.
5. Re: JBoss On - Starting rhq-server.shHeiko Rupp Aug 4, 2010 7:35 AM (in response to Javier M)
Can you please supply boot.log and rhq-server-log4j.log files here?
The error you see mean that the server itself had issues starting.
Alternatively you can start via
bin/rhq-server.sh console
and paste the console output into your reply.

I did it. I think there's a mem problem with JVM.

7. Re: JBoss On - Starting rhq-server.shHeiko Rupp Aug 5, 2010 3:54 AM (in response to Javier M)
the output shows "-Xms1024M -Xmx1024M" which means the server wants to reserve 1GB memory for heap (and additional 256MB for perm gen), which in total makes ~1.4GB that the JVM wants. Looks like this is too much for your server.
You may tune this by setting RHQ_SERVER_JAVA_OPTS to something like
export RHQ_SERVER_JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx256m ....." (the ... being more arguments)
8. Re: JBoss On - Starting rhq-server.shJavier M Aug 5, 2010 4:14 AM (in response to Heiko Rupp)
Hey Heiko
That was the problem!! The server died bcoz it couldnt run JVM bcoz mem problem. I changed params to
-Xms512M -Xmx512M -XX:PermSize=256M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M
and it already works. I know that is not the correct heap size to make it works correctly. Unless I know that it runs. I'll try to obtain more memmory for my VM.
Thank everybody very much.
Best regards,

Hoodies on the House floor are verboten, apparently. Rep.

"Racial profiling has to stop, Mr. Speaker," said Representative Rush while doffing his suit jacket to reveal his hoodie garb. "Just because someone wears a hoodie does not make them a hoodlum."

Streamline Processes With Custom Software Solutions in Southfield, MI
Spud Software designs and develops custom software solutions that help Southfield area businesses operate more efficiently. From start-ups to Fortune 500 companies, Spud Software provides the solutions you need to take your business to the next level. We're known for delivering high quality solutions quickly, and at a much lower cost than big-name software companies.
If you are looking for ways to streamline operations, including integrations, replacing the old software with a custom program, eliminating duplicate data entry, eliminating paper processes, or need to track production/staff and hold people accountable, we can create a custom solution that fits your needs. We go above and beyond to make sure what we are being asked to do makes the most sense for our clients from a business and economic perspective.
The Spud Software Difference
When vetting a software company it's important to understand why more companies choose Spud to provide their software solutions.
Custom Business Intelligence Software in Southfield, MI
For some small businesses without unique needs, pre-packaged software is a no-brainer. The cost is right and the software is good enough to get most things done. However, some ideas just don't fit inside a box. If your business processes aren't cookie cutter or if you have multiple systems that need to communicate, a custom software solution may just make the most sense.
Custom is just what it sounds like: designed to your specifications. The functionality and flow of the software fits your business, your clients, your staff and you. Rolling out a custom software package that is designed to fit your business processes is easier and smoother than a boxed solution that does most of what you need, but has a number of "workarounds" to get things done. Whether it's to streamline your project management system, create a custom database, or develop an interactive data reporting software, our business intelligence solutions are customized for your unique needs.
What Can Spud Do For Your Company?
What can Spud do for your company? Our team is experienced and efficient in our use of SAAS, Microsoft, SQL, Mobile Applications and other programs. We get involved. We learn your business. We become an extension of your company. We essentially become your IT Team.

And, the beauty of it is, we are only there and billing for the time when you need stuff done.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have been named Hollywood's highest-grossing onscreen couple by bosses at Forbes magazine.
Editors at the publication have determined Pattinson and Stewart are the hottest duo after raking in $625 million for the Twilight franchise.
Channing Tatum and his The Vow co-star Rachel McAdams, who brought in $125 million, come in second.
The top two leading men landed on the list twice - Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon won over viewers in Water for Elephants, while People magazine's current Sexiest Man Alive movie romance with Amanda Seyfried in Dear John put them sixth.
Also making the top 10 were Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth, who met and fell in love while filming The Last Song, and Zac Efron and Taylor Schilling, whose steamy love scenes in The Lucky One earned them a spot at number nine.
Forbes editors compiled the list using the top money-making romantic movies over the past three years.

Homemade tooth fairy pockets
Aug 27, 2010 at 9:44 a.m. ET
Who doesn't get excited about the tooth fairy? With this craft from ZiggityZoom.com, you can help your kids create a safe place to put their teeth so that the tooth fairy will easily be able to find and exchange the teeth for a special surprise.
What you'll need
- Small piece of Felt in desired color
- Small piece of White Felt for "Tooth" shape
- Fabric Glue Glitter Glue (optional)
- Scissors Needle & Thread (optional)
- Sticky back Velcro (just a tiny piece needed)
Putting it all together
- Cut colored Felt strip 3" x 8.5 " long. You will be folding over the top 1 1/2 " as a flap, so you will need to round the edges to a soft, rounded point.
- Cut out pattern for Tooth and then trace onto white Felt and cut out.
- Fold colored strip of Felt over to make a Pocket, but leave the top 1 1/2 inch loose so it will be able to fold over. We used fabric glue to seal the sides of the "pocket" but you may also choose to do straight "hand stitches" with needle and thread. If gluing, make sure you use enough of the fabric glue and set something heavy on top of the edges so you get a proper bond.
- When dry, glue the tooth into place on the front of the Tooth Fairy pocket and fold down the flap and attach the velco so that the flap can be opened or closed using the velcro closure.
- For an extra "fairy" effect, apply some glitter glue to the tooth, using the tip of your finger. Let dry.

Metascore®Generally favorable reviewsbased on a weighted average of allcritic review scores.
Key to the remake's ultimate success is the casting of the troubled young leads.Smit-McPhee and Moretz possess the soulful depth and pre-adolescent vulnerability necessary to keep it compellingly real.
Read Full Review
This is more than a respectful remake; Let Me In is quietly stylish and thoroughly chilling in its own right.
The surprise of Let Me In is that director Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) hasn't just remade the Swedish cult vampire film "Let the Right One In" into a more fluid and visceral movie. He's made it more dangerous.
Let Me In is going to lure and please fans of the original; like the first, the remake is graphically violent but as tense as good horror gets.
See all Let Me In reviews at Metacritic.com
Pause for kids 16 & under
Vampire remake is much gorier than Twilight.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Let Me In is a very gory remake of the 2008 Swedish vampire movie Let the Right One In. It has similarly somber mood, more blood, and a bit less mystery. Both movies include some fairly controversial elements -- such as a 12-year-old girl disrobing (nothing is shown) and climbing into bed with a 12-year-old boy (nothing happens). There's also teen bullying and smoking, strong language (including "f--k" and "s--t"), and many disturbing and frightening images (lots of which are soaked in gushing blood). Teens who are looking for something weightier than what the Twilight saga has to offer will appreciate the strong characters and performances, but it's not age-appropriate for younger viewers -- or anyone with a low tolerance for gore.
Messages: Main character Owen is an awkward kid who's dealing with life in a miserable little town, an absent dad, and a mother who's a distant religious fanatic. Bullies threaten him at school, and he has no friends until he meets a vampire girl about his age. It's nice that Owen finally connects with someone, but needless to say, theirs is a rather unhealthy relationship. Their behavior together is often irresponsible -- it includes lying, too much sexual tension for such a young age, revenge, and running away. And the girl actually kills several people with no consequences.
Role models: Owen is a quiet misfit who can't quite connect to anyone until he makes friends with vampire Abby. Unfortunately, she's the wrong kind of influence, so neither of their characters can be seen as a positive role model. The adults in the movie don't fare much better; most of them seem miserable, trapped by their sorry fates, and unable to connect with the children in a meaningful way.
Violence: Bloody attacks, sucking of blood, gushing blood, neck snapping, strangling, disposal of dead bodies, thumb slicing, suicide, a face burned with acid, scary vampire images, bodies bursting into flame, and attempted drowning. There's a car accident that's shown from inside the car. A 12-year-old boy plays with a kitchen knife. Also severe and violent bullying among the middle schoolers; the hero fights back by hitting a bully in the side of the head with a large stick. In one death scene, viewers can see a pulsing vein in the victim's neck slowly stop moving.
Sex: In one controversial scene, the 12-year-old vampire girl takes off her clothes (nothing is shown) and climbs into bed with the 12-year-old boy. There's no hint of sex or even kissing, but the boy does choose this moment to ask the girl to go steady. Later the boy and the girl share an awkward, sexually charged moment alone in a secret room, though nothing happens. Otherwise, the boy spies on his neighbors and catches a man and a woman about to have sex. Viewers see a naked breast and kissing. Some bullies at school try to remove a girl's bathing suit (the act is more malicious than sexual).
Language: Strong language throughout, including many uses of "f--k" and "s--t," as well as "Jesus," "Jesus Christ," and "God" (alll used as exclamations) and "goddamn," "pissed," "ass," and "crap."
Consumerism: Most brands/logos are used to help establish the movie's 1983 setting: Rubik's Cube, Ms. Pac-Man, KISS.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Several secondary characters, all teens, are seen smoking cigarettes. One of the main adult characters smokes regularly.

Objective: Students will be able to use conceptual approach to enable students to establish deep understanding of the properties of exponents that can be used to raise a power to a power. Conceptually understand exponents to expand exponents with the same base and different bases. By expanding the multiplication, students will develop the rule of multiplying exponents by applying grouping and the associative property.
Big Idea: Memorization is short term knowledge but understanding endures time. Create the rules for exponents by expanding the bases to understand.

8.EE.A.1 Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions. For example, 32 × 3–5 = 3–3 = 1/33 = 1/27.
Collaboratively grouping students to become resources for one another in working through the activity to show ownership of learning brings in math practice standard one.
MP1 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
Applying the strategy of mini-wrap ups that are student centered will directly bring math practice standard 3 into the lesson.
MP3 Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of
Asking students to speak using correct vocabulary to explain their thinking applies math practice standard 6.
MP6 Attend to precision.
Asking students to expand expressions to see the pattern of multiplication and then reason to create a rule for performing the multiplication faster through using exponents employes two mathematical practices - one for seeing the structure of the expanded form of the expression and another for expressing the regularity of the pattern as a rule:
MP7 Look for and make use of structure.
MP8 Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

Running with the best of the state
HERSHEY — The conditions were nearly perfect Saturday when the Punxsy cross country teams traveled to Hershey for the PIAA Class AAA championship.
"I was happy the course was in good shape, and the weather was optimal since the district race was the complete opposite," Lady Chucks head coach George Wehrle said. "At least the girls were able to run their final race of the season with the chance of posting a decent time."
During the girls' race, Alexis Young was the first to cross the finish line for Punxsy. She completed the 3.1-mile course in 21:22 for 184th overall out of 285 runners.
"Alexis ran a good race, recording her second-fastest time of the season," Wehrle said. "This was her third time at states, and every year, she performs well, something not all runners are able to do."
Freshman Ala Small followed closely behind Young, finishing 196th overall in 21:28.
"Ala ran her fastest race of the season at the state championships, which is great to see," Wehrle said. "She was very consistent all year and was at her best when it counted most. ... She has a bright future as a distance runner."
The final runner for Punxsy, Juliann Boddorf, also ran her best time of the season, placing 210th overall in 21:41.
"Once again, this meet just shows how tough it is to compete in the AAA classification," Wehrle said. "Hopefully, all the girls on our team want to get back here next year and do even better."
On the boys' side, Punxsy had just two racers — Bo Dinger and Dane Baker.
"They had their work cut out for them from the start," boys' head coach John Smith said.
More than 280 racers competed in the boys' Class AAA race.
"Dane Baker had no choice but to go out extra fast," Smith said. "He did, and his start was great, but holding on proved difficult."
Baker placed 228th overall, completing the course in 18:20.
Freshman Dinger had a more successful race than his senior counterpart. Dinger finished the course in 18:11 for 209th place overall.
"Bo Dinger was sucked to the back of the pack at the start but somehow worked his way up," Smith said.
Although neither placed in the top-200, Smith said he was proud of both of his runners at states.
"Their efforts were exceptional all season long," Smith said. "Dane's contribution to this program and team went way beyond any single performance. His presence will be missed next year."
Although Smith knew coming into states that the competition was going to be steep, he said it is always a good experience for the runners.
"It's extremely tough to compete with all those big schools, but the kids really enjoy it," Smith said. "They are true competitors."

The Birth of Soft Torture
CIA interrogation techniques—a history.
In 1949, Cardinal Jószef Mindszenty appeared before the world's cameras to mumble his confession to treasonous crimes against the Hungarian church and state. For resisting communism, the World War II hero had been subjected for 39 days to sleep deprivation and humiliation, alternating with long hours of interrogation, by Russian-trained Hungarian police. His staged confession riveted the Central Intelligence Agency, which theorized in a security memorandum that Soviet-trained experts were controlling Mindszenty by "some unknown force." If the Communists had interrogation weapons that were evidently more subtle and effective than brute physical torture, the CIA decided, then it needed such weapons, too.
Months later, the agency began a program to explore "avenues to the control of human behavior," as John Marks discusses in his book The Search for the Manchurian Candidate. During the next decade and a half, CIA experts honed the use of "chemical and biological materials capable of producing human behavioral and physiological changes" according to a retrospective CIA catalog written in 1963. And thus soft torture in the United States was born.
In short order, CIA experts attempted to induce Mindszenty-like effects. An interrogation team consisting of a psychiatrist, a lie-detector expert, and a hypnotist went to work using combinations of the depressant Sodium Amytal and certain stimulants. Tests on four suspected double agents in Tokyo in July 1950 and on 25 North Korean prisoners of war three months later yielded more noteworthy results. (Relevant CIA documents do not specify exactly what, but reports later claimed that the special interrogation teams could hold a subject in a "controlled state" for a long period.) Meanwhile, the CIA opened the door to pre-emptive psychosurgery: In a doctor's office in Washington, D.C., one unfortunate man, his name deleted from documents, was lobotomized against his will during an interrogation. By the mid-to-late 1950s, experiments using "black techniques," as the agency called them, moved to prisons, hospitals, and other field-testing sites with funding and encouragement from the CIA's Science and Technology Directorate *.
One of the most extreme 1950s experiments that the CIA sponsored was conducted at a McGill University hospital, where the world-renowned psychiatrist Dr. Ewen Cameron had been pioneering a technique he called "psychic driving." Dr. Cameron was widely considered the most able psychiatrist in Canada—his honors included the presidency of the World Psychiatric Association—and his patients were referred to him from all over. A disaffected housewife, a rebellious youth, a struggling starlet, and the wife of a Canadian member of Parliament were a few of the more than 100 patients who became uninformed, nonconsenting experimental subjects. Many were diagnosed as schizophrenic (a diagnosis since contested in many of the cases).
Cameron's goal was to wipe out the stable "self," eliminating deep-seated psychological problems in order to rebuild it. He grandiosely hoped to transform human existence by opening a new gateway to the understanding of consciousness. The CIA wanted to know what his experiments suggested about interrogating people with the help of sensory deprivation, environmental manipulation, and psychic disorientation.
Cameron's technique was to expose a patient to tape-recorded messages or sounds that were played back or repeated for long periods. The goal was a condition Cameron dubbed "penetration": The patient experienced an escalating state of distress that often caused him or her to reveal long-buried past experiences or disturbing events. At that point, the doctor would offer "healing" suggestions. Frequently, his patients didn't want to listen and would attack their analyst or try to leave the room. In the 1956 American Journal of Psychiatry, Cameron explained that he broke down their resistance by continually repeating his message using "pillow and ceiling microphones" and different voices; by imposing periods of prolonged sleep; and by giving patients drugs like Sodium Amytal, Desoxyn, and LSD-25, which "disorganized" thought patterns.
To further disorganize his patients, Cameron isolated them in a sensory deprivation chamber. In a dark room, a patient would sit in silence with his eyes covered with goggles, prevented "from touching his body—thus interfering with his self image." Finally "attempts were made to cut down on his expressive output"—he was restrained or bandaged so he could not scream. Cameron combined these tactics with extended periods of forced listening to taped messages for up to 20 hours per day, for 10 or 15 days at a stretch.
In 1958 and 1959, Cameron went further. With new CIA money behind him, he tried to completely "depattern" 53 patients by combining psychic driving with electroshock therapy and a long-term, drug-induced coma. At the most intensive stage of the treatment, many subjects were no longer able to perform even basic functions. They needed training to eat, use the toilet, or speak. Once the doctor allowed the drugs to wear off and ceased shock treatments, patients slowly relearned how to take care of themselves—and their pretreatment symptoms were said to have disappeared.
So had much of their personalities. Patients emerged from Cameron's ward walking differently, talking differently, acting differently. Wives were more docile, daughters less inclined to histrionics, sons better-behaved. Most had no memory of their treatment or of their previous lives. Sometimes, they forgot they had children. At first, they were grateful to their doctor for his help. Several Cameron patients, however, later said they had severe recurrences of their pretreatment problems and traumatic memories of the treatment itself and together sued the doctor as well as the U.S. and Canadian governments. Their case was quietly settled out of court.
By the late 1950s and early 1960s, CIA experts thought they understood the techniques necessary for "breaking" a person. Under a strict regime of behavioral conditioning, "the possibility of resistance over a very long period may be vanishingly small," several researchers concluded in an analysis used in the CIA's 1963 manual Counterintelligence Interrogation. At the agency, pressure increased to field-test coercive interrogation tools. The task, as CIA second-in-command Richard Helms urged, was to test the agency's techniques on "normal" people. At times, this imperative made the agency reckless. As part of the now notorious MK-ULTRA program—"one of the seamiest episodes in American intelligence," according to journalist Seymour Hersh—the CIA set up a safe house in San Francisco where its agents could observe the effects of various drug combinations on human behavior. They were in search of a "truth serum" and thought LSD might be it. Prostitutes were hired to bring unwitting johns back to the house, where the women slipped acid and other strong psychoactive substances into the men's drinks. From behind a one-way mirror, investigators watched, notebooks and martinis in hand. Sometimes the men took the drugs and managed to carry on. Sometimes they babbled or cried. An internal CIA review condemned these high jinks in 1963, but Congress didn't investigate them until 1977, after a post-Watergate crisis of confidence in the agency.
At least officially, the CIA ended its behavioral science program in the mid-1960s, before scientists and operatives achieved total control over a subject. "All experiments beyond a certain point always failed," an operative veteran of the program said, "because the subject jerked himself back for some reason or the subject got amnesiac or catatonic." In other words, you could create a vegetable or a zombie, but not a robot who would obey you against his will. Still, the CIA had gained reliable information about how to derange and disorient a person who was reluctant to cooperate. An enemy could quickly be made into a confused and desperate human being.
Since 9/11, as government documents and news reports have made clear, the CIA's experimental approach to coercive interrogation has been revived. Last week, as the Washington Post revealed the existence of secret CIA-run prisons—"black sites"—in Eastern Europe, Vice President Dick Cheney continued to campaign to ensure that the agency will not be prevented from using "cruel, inhumane, and degrading" methods to elicit intelligence from detainees. The operatives of the 1940s would approve.
Correction, Nov. 18, 2005: The article originally referred to the CIA's Technology and Science Directorate. The correct title is the Science and Technology Directorate. Return to the corrected sentence.

No matter who wins this year's NCAA men's basketball tournament, the victory will be a footnote to the spectacular, gut-wrenching injury Louisville's Kevin Ware incurred in the first half of the Cardinals' Elite Eight game against Duke.
I feel extremely guilty because my friends and I happened to be driving back from a wedding on Sunday that took us up I-65 from Louisville to Indianapolis, and the flood of Cards fans clogging the road added a solid two hours to the drive. Extremely hung over and crabby, we all wished for Louisville's demise, but then God went and got psychopathic about it.

For the first time in three weeks, someone other than a Hately won our Gridiron Green.
Debra Fugate, come on down!
Fugate, from Ignacio, who didnt play the first two weeks, has a 1-for-16 under her belt, four single-digit weeks and an 8-percent ranking on the national scale, has found her stride midseason. She was 12-for-14 last week, and 12-for-14 this week to win our Week 10 Green.
Shes got work to do to catch our co-leaders, though tholeman and edonelan lead our Green with matching 101s, and tholeman leads our Gridiron Gold with a 101 as well.
Randy Edge of Bloomington, Minn., had the edge on all of us in Week 10; he won the national Green with 13 of 14 right.
I went 10-4, including my upset pick of the Saints over the previously unbeaten Atlanta Falcons on Sunday in New Orleans, and my overall record is 83-62.
Like Fugate, Im finding my midseason form.

The public is invited to a reception for the Senior Art Exhibition, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, April 29, at Monsanto Gallery, in the Josephine B. Abney Cultural Center, on the campus of Lander University.
The exhibition, titled "tag," will feature the work of 11 senior visual arts majors in various media, including printmaking, painting, drawing, photography, sculpture and graphic design.
Senior Emily Berry of Greenwood explained the show's title by saying that she and the other seniors "were interested in the way that someone 'tags' a building, for example, with graffiti. They have left their mark, and that's what we wanted to do. We are graduating, and this show is our mark."
Senior Cate Blackwell of Greer echoed Berry, saying that she and her classmates are "'tagging'" Lander University and preparing to utilize the knowledge we've gained here to further our artwork and careers."
Lander assistant professor of art Jennifer Stoneking-Stewart, who taught all 11 seniors in her 499 Art Issues class, and who organized the show, said the artists "will be highlighting their strongest and most cohesive work."
She encouraged arts enthusiasts to come out and "see the next generation of young artists, educators and designers."
