A number of significant historical events have occurred in...

living history museum, Westville conserves both the material and the intangible culture of 1827 to 1860. As the state's earliest major experiment in living history, Westville's interpretive strategy asks the visitor to "travel back in time" to the year 1850. The museum closed in 2015 for relocation from Lumpkin to Columbus.
Westville conserves and perpetuates the work skills of antebellum west Georgia. Blacksmithing, split-white-oak basketmaking, cotton weaving, quilting, potting, hearth cooking, clothes washing, soapmaking, planting, animal-powered cotton ginning and baling, and cane syrup making are some of the work skills practiced for the public.
These activities take place against the backdrop of an antebellum town, which consists mostly of actual period buildings. These structures were rescued from destruction, moved to the site, and placed in a simulated environmental context to ensure historical accuracy.
The Beginning
A Jonesboro moved the founders of Westville Village to action in 1966. Called the Fair of 1850, the museum was the work of John Word West. A history teacher, West began in 1928 to collect various nineteenth-century buildings and artifacts, mostly from north Georgia.
West corresponded with oil tycoon and philanthropist John D. Rockefeller Jr., who had begun Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia about that time, and also with automotive pioneer Henry Ford, who founded Greenfield Village in Michigan. West's motives of bringing history to life for posterity were similar but more regional. He wanted to preserve the Old South's material and intangible cultures, which he felt were being obliterated by the move away from agrarian society.
Westville Village was founded after West's death, in part to acquire and maintain West's collection. Joseph B. Mahan Jr., curator of the Columbus Museum of Arts and Crafts (later the Columbus Museum), encouraged a group of volunteers in Stewart County to establish a living history museum. Mahan picked the location (between Columbus and Albany) because he felt the leadership there was already organized. In 1965 a group of local volunteers began Georgia's earliest small-town effort in historic preservation by restoring an 1830s stagecoach hotel, the Bedingfield Inn, in Lumpkin. Mahan infected the group with a zeal for creative education and a hope for economic revival through heritage tourism. The volunteers gamely founded Westville Historic Handicrafts, Incorporated, in 1966.
Along with buying the Fair of 1850 for $25,000 in 1966, the Westville board began assembling a group of locally endangered antebellum buildings. Over the next four years an entire "village that never was" emerged on a donated site near Lumpkin. In 1967 roads were laid in a grid pattern, emulating a county seat much like nearby Lumpkin itself. A local home and the first of the West Collection buildings (the Yellow Creek Camp Meeting Tabernacle, originally at Cleveland, Georgia) arrived in January 1968. Governor Lester Maddox presided over the village's formal founding on August 31, 1968.
Becoming a Reality
Westville came to life in 1969 through a federal grant to "change teacher behavior and teaching methods." With a paid administrator and a crafts staff, the village opened for teacher workshops and school groups. It opened permanently for daily visitors in April 1970. Westville's service to school groups became one of the living museum's greatest successes. By 2003 about 625 schools sent children to Westville annually.
Nearly all of the buildings were in place by 1975. Of Westville's thirty historical buildings and two reproductions, there are several of great importance. The Chattahoochee County Courthouse (1854) is one of two extant wooden courthouses in Georgia. The Bagley Cotton Gin (1845) and the Johnson Baling Press (1851), both of which are animal-powered, provide a rare glimpse into the cotton culture. Native Americans built one log room of the Wells House (ca. 1810).
Many of Westville's furnishings were manufactured in the North, as was generally true in the antebellum period. However, many inland southerners did make and use their own furniture; Westville has perhaps the largest public display of Georgia-made antebellum furniture. Westville also features five antebellum gardens, specializing in antique varieties of boxwoods and roses, as well as heritage food crops including sugar cane and corn, and cotton.
Although most of Westville's activities are "third-person," storytelling, and fiddling. Seasonal activities include planting, May Day, harvesting, and the Yuletide season.
In 1973 Westville revived blacksmithing by hosting a conference of traditionalists and academic professionals from around the country. The group founded the Artist-Blacksmiths Association of North America during the conference. ABANA is now the world's largest blacksmithing association, with more than 5,000 members.
With its realistic historical appearance, Westville has furnished a setting for scenes in several major movies, including a "James Gang" western called The Long Riders (1980) and Ken Burns's The Civil War (1990). (Burns later decided to use only actual period images and cut the Westville footage.) In 1988 Westville won a Governor's Award in the Humanities.

Slimline Design, Brilliant Performance.Make a bold, fashion statement with the gracefully sleek PowerShot ELPH 310 HS digital camera. It comes in an array of luminous eye-catching colors (Purple, Blue, Pink, Green and Silver) that are sure to complement almost any style. The super slim design makes this camera pocket-friendly, so casual shooters, party-goers and travelers can take pictures and videos of everyday moments wherever they go. Its compact profile doesn't mean you have to compromise on image quality. Powered by the Canon HS SYSTEM, the camera delivers great shots in virtually any situation, even in less than ideal lighting. 12.1 Megapixels ensure images with excellent detail. Zoom into far-away subjects with its 8x Optical Zoom and easily photograph large groups of people with the 28mm wide-angle lens. And when you want to shoot video, you can capture stunning 1080p Full HD video at the touch of a button.
Ultra-Slim, Elegant DesignAt a slim 0.87 inches, the PowerShot ELPH 310 HS digital camera is super-thin, making it a perfect choice for those who desire a small camera that fits easily in a pocket. With five cool metallic colors to choose from (Purple, Blue, Pink, Green and Silver), there's a PowerShot ELPH 310 HS that fits your style.
8x Optical Zoom with 28mm Wide-Angle LensDespite its slim profile, the PowerShot ELPH 310 HS houses a powerful Genuine Canon 8x Optical Zoom Lens that delivers outstanding optical performance and versatility. The zoom starts at 28mm wide-angle and extends to 224mm telephoto (35mm equivalent), covering a wide and highly useful range. The telephoto reach gives you the freedom to capture subjects from afar, while the 28mm wide-angle makes it easy to shoot sweeping landscapes, large groups of people and tall buildings.
Optical Image StabilizerHandheld shooting can often lead to camera shake, making photos and videos blurry. Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer is a sophisticated system that uses lens-shift technology to correct for unwanted camera movement. It makes handheld photography more practical in more shooting situations, providing excellent image quality in many difficult situations: outdoors at dusk, inside without a flash, and even at the telephoto end of the zoom range without a tripod. For photos, it enables shooting at slower shutter speeds, accommodating more low-light shooting situations than ever before without having to boost ISO sensitivity. With camera shake and vibration reduced, you get a sharper, steadier image. And because it is an optical system, there is none of the image degradation typical with electronic image stabilizers.
Canon HS SYSTEMThe Canon HS SYSTEM lets you take bright, clear photos in an even wider range of shooting situations. Beautiful low-light shots are possible with minimal noise and maximum detail in highlight and shadow areas. The system is the result of two technologies brought together in PowerShot cameras: a high-sensitivity imaging sensor, which is able to capture more light; and the DIGIC Image Processor, which actively reduces noise with high-speed image processing. The 12.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor in the PowerShot ELPH 310 HS incorporates advanced light reception technology that enhances sensitivity. The DIGIC 4 Image Processor provides a major boost in noise reduction, expanding the usable ISO range to an amazing high of 3200. The Canon HS SYSTEM takes the frustration out of low-light shooting, delivering clear, blur-free images.
Canon DIGIC 4 Image ProcessorCanon DIGIC Image Processors have set the standard for functionality and performance since their groundbreaking introduction in 1999. With each successive generation, DIGIC processors have brought elevated performance and powerful new features to PowerShot digital cameras. The DIGIC 4 processor has ushered in a new level of picture quality and accelerated processing, making possible features such as high-speed continuous shooting, Full HD video and Face Detection Self-timer. New, more powerful noise reduction algorithms also provide improved low-light capture.
Canon Full HD Video AdvantageIn addition to the Canon HS SYSTEM, the combination of the advanced CMOS sensor and DIGIC 4 Image Processor in the PowerShot ELPH 310 HS makes it possible to shoot crisp, clear high definition video. Imagine the fun and excitement of being able to shoot spectacular 1080p Full HD video with stereo sound that you can later watch on your HDTV or download to your computer to share with family and friends. In addition to being able to shoot Full HD 1080p video at 24 frames per second, the PowerShot ELPH 310 HS can also shoot 720p HD video at 30** frames per second.
Dedicated Movie Button, Wind Filter and Optical Zoom While ShootingIt's never been easier to shoot videos with a PowerShot digital camera. The PowerShot ELPH 310 HS has a dedicated movie button that lets you start and stop recording instantly. There is no need to go through layers of menus or operate switches or dials to switch to and from video recording mode. The camera is always ready to shoot stills or video whenever you want. The PowerShot ELPH 310 HS also incorporates an electronic wind filter, which suppresses wind noise that can muffle or distort the sound. And unlike less sophisticated point-and-shoot cameras, the PowerShot ELPH 310 HS lets you use the full range of optical zoom when you're shooting a video.
HDTV Playback via HDMI with CEC SupportIt's easy to enjoy and share the videos you shoot with the PowerShot ELPH 310 HS. Simply connect its HDMI terminal to your HDTV using an HDMI cable. And because the PowerShot ELPH 310 HS supports HDMI-CEC technology, you'll be able to control the playback of your images and videos on any CEC-enabled HDTV using the TV's remote control. (CEC - Consumer Electronic Control - is part of the HDMI specification, enabling components in a system to communicate with one another.)
iFrame Movie SupportWith the PowerShot ELPH 310 HS, you can also shoot video in the Apple iFrame format, which is a computer-friendly standard that speeds up importing and editing of videos. It keeps file sizes small, making it more convenient to upload or e-mail high-quality videos. The iFrame format enjoys native support in compatible Mac and Windows video applications, making it unnecessary to perform time-consuming and often quality-degrading conversions.
High-Speed Burst ModeCapture amazing action shots like the pros with the PowerShot ELPH 310 HS camera. Using High-Speed Burst mode, you can shoot at exceptionally high speeds - 8.7 frames per second. It's a great feature for those who enjoy taking pictures at sporting events. High-Speed Burst is also an excellent way to make sure you capture that perfect instant in time when shooting any moving subject.
Super Slow Motion MovieThe Super Slow Motion Movie mode on the PowerShot ELPH 310 HS gives you a fun and useful option when shooting videos. It records video clips at a very high speed - up to approximately 240 frames per second. When the clips are played at normal speed (30 fps), the action is dramatically slower. This video shooting mode can be used to capture memorable plays at sporting events or to analyze and study motion.
Intelligent ISThe latest advance in Canon Optical Image Stabilization technology, Intelligent IS analyzes camera movement and applies the best shake correction method for the shooting situation. For stills, the system automatically selects among Normal, Panning, Macro (Hybrid) and Tripod IS modes. When shooting video, the system automatically selects among Dynamic, Powered, Macro and Tripod IS modes. With Intelligent IS, you can concentrate on image capture, letting the camera make the most effective IS settings to assure the steadiest possible image.
PureColor LCD SystemThe PowerShot ELPH 310 HS digital camera's large and bright 3.0-inch PureColor LCD screen makes it easy to view and frame your shots in high resolution (461,000 dots). PureColor technology delivers excellent contrast with rich, true-to-life color. Moreover, you can view the LCD screen over a surprisingly wide angle - above, below or to either side - without color shifts and with minimal reflections. A scratch-proof hard coating and a dust-repellent fluorine coating ensure a durable screen that dependably displays clear, vibrant images.
Smart AUTOPhotographers of all levels appreciate a camera - especially a go-anywhere compact digital - that takes the hassle out of capturing beautiful images. The PowerShot ELPH 310 HS gives you Smart AUTO - sophisticated Canon technology that makes getting that great shot as simple as pressing the shutter button. Smart AUTO automatically detects scenes by assessing various factors in both the background and the subject. Detected scenes are analyzed using 32 predefined shooting situations. The camera then makes optimal settings to ensure the best possible image capture, whether you're shooting stills or video. Smart AUTO also includes Advanced Subject Detection, which allows the camera to detect and track non-human moving subjects like animals and vehicles. With Smart AUTO, all you have to do is frame your shot and capture away.
Shooting Modes/Special Scene Modes
High-Speed BurstThe camera shoots continuously at a high speed of approx. 8.7 fps while you hold down the shutter.
Miniature Effect for Movies & StillsEmphasizes perspective for a miniature effect by blurring upper and bottom portions of videos and stills.
Super Slow Motion MovieRecord your clips in high speed (approx. 240 fps), and then watch your videos in slow motion.
Movie DigestCreating a video containing highlights of a family vacation or an important occasion is a lot easier than you might think. When you use Movie Digest on the PowerShot ELPH 310 HS, the camera will automatically record a short video clip (up to approximately 4 seconds) every time you shoot a still image. That entire day's worth of clips will then be automatically combined into a single video. Movie Digest does all the work, so you can sit back and enjoy your video!
How does this work? When you activate Movie Digest, the camera continuously records a "loop" of video up to 4 seconds long into an area of the memory card reserved for this feature. Every time you take a still photo, the video clip residing in memory at that time is appended to a file that will eventually become the day's highlights video. The following day, the camera will start a new video file. Movie Digest does not affect regular video shooting, so you can use it and still switch between still and video capture as desired.
Although the beauty of Movie Digest is the ease with which you can create a video of the day, you can, if you wish, edit the created videos on your computer. Version 6.8 or later of the included ZoomBrowser EX (for Windows) and ImageBrowser (for Mac OS) software lets you freely select and delete unwanted scenes from your Movie Digest videos.
Face Detection Technology including Smart ShutterFace Detection technology makes it easy for you to take great photos of people. The camera will automatically detect the face(s) in a frame to give it optimal focus, exposure, flash (if needed) and white balance. Smart Shutter adds fun and convenience to Face Detection because you can set the camera to release the shutter when someone winks, smiles or even enters the frame.
Best Image SelectionBest Image Selection is an easy way to get great results almost every time you take a picture. When you press the shutter release, the camera will rapidly shoot a series of five images, then assess the images for any unwanted facial movements and camera shake. Out of the five images, the camera will select and save the best one.
Available in 27 LanguagesWith the new addition of Hindi, there are a total of 27 display languages from which you can choose: English, German, French, Dutch, Danish, Finnish, Italian, Norwegian, Swedish, Spanish, Simplified/Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Portuguese, Korean, Greek, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Turkish, Thai, Arabic, Romanian, Ukrainian, Farsi and Hindi.

"The COMPRESSOR's potential dynamic range is an impressive 120dB, while distortion is below 0.005 (THD+N) and 0.007 percent (IMD)."
"Whether working on a solo voice or a complete stereo mix, the COMPRESSOR reigns in the dynamics effortlessly and naturally and, in many cases, so well that I questioned whether it was switched in! The same was true of percussive and transient elements: no holes,… READ MORE Hugh Robjohns
"As a bus compressor, the COMPRESSOR does a superb job of gluing all the elements together to form a cohesive sound, and it does this without ever sounding controlled or constrained; it always seems to sound open and transparent, crisp and clean."
"Smart Dyn mode handles loud transients seamlessly, almost negating the need for a separate limiter."
"On vocals, the COMPRESSOR is sublime – it's one of the most natural and inaudible compressors I've ever used, even with quite heavy-handed ratio and threshold settings."
"The COMPRESSOR stands alone in its class, offering a unique hybrid of features, functionality, and flexibility."
"With its feature set, the Dangerous COMPRESSOR would be equally useful through all steps of the recording process- tracking, mixing, and mastering."
"Transparency, accuracy, stereo image integrity, ease of use, and performance are all a part of what this new stereo compressor brings to the market."
"The auto attack and release is so intelligent, that I had a hard time producing a better sound with manual adjustments."
"I'm really enjoying the sounds I'm getting, and the amazing versatility of the COMPRESSOR!"
"The sound of the signal path through the Dangerous COMPRESSOR, and the quality of the sound even when you just deploy the gain, is really quite lovely."
"The Smart Dynamics feature helps address the level issue in a really great way that let's me use less of, or even turn off, my digital limiter!"

"The Side-Chain facility that's built into the COMPRESSOR [is] very well implemented. Just having that facility integrated and being able to go with their relatively gentle high-pass filter – or something a little bit more specific if that's what you need – that makes it… READ MORE Jonathan Wyner
"The sound of the signal path through the Dangerous COMPRESSOR, and the quality of the sound even when you just deploy the gain, is really quite lovely."
"It gives a subtly warm presence while remaining open and retaining transparency. The sound of the box is superlative."
"The detector is so very smooth, it reminds me of the classic compressors we have all come to love. The Auto-Time constants, the attack and release, work very well."
"The side chain options are very useful and easy to engage, and the stereo imaging is amazing!"
"Transparency is not a dirty word and this compressor is full of it. It can be so gentle you would barely hear it, OR it can compress hard and yet it keeps the sound in tact and doesn't break up or get grainy."
"A must have in my world. It۪s a refreshing
complement to the currently fashionable
boxes that indiscriminately add color."
"It's super quick and easy to determine where it will sound best at the push of a button. It's so versatile that I can get it to feel like an SSL buss compressor or it can be grabby۪ or I can get it to stay… READ MORE Michael James
"I love the fact that the box is both easy and deep. It's like driving a Ferrari with an optional autopilot."
"The very final piece that covers my ass, and makes sure a record can go to mastering without unwanted distortion, is the Dangerous COMPRESSOR."
"Multiple sidechain options, the innovative 'Smart
Dynamics' feature, and the signature transparent musicality Dangerous brings to all their products- we have a winner!"
"This baby is a game changer. I've got plenty of compressors at my place, but just the fact that we have the ability to monitor the sidechain here, and we've got low cut and a sibilance boost, AND if that's not enough, there's an external… READ MORE Mike Wells

"I've never in my life used a compressor where I felt confident using it on every master… until now! Plus it just looks great. Makes me smile every time I sit down at my desk."
"I've never in my life used a compressor where I felt confident using it on every master… until now! Plus it just looks great. Makes me smile every time I sit down at my desk."
"If your job description includes any kind of mastering work, you need to put this magazine down, go call your local retailer, and arrange for a demo immediately!"
"It kept the bass sounding raw and natural, yet thickened it upnot with added tone, but tight control. Very cool!"
"My hands-down blown-away moment came when tracking a vintage Gibson acoustic guitar, where it really helped the fingerstyle playing and strumming stay controlled, yet nicely pop forward in a smooth solid way."
"This is without a doubt the most transparent compressor I have ever used, and the more I learn it, the more uses I find for it."
"The visceral feel, and the look and aesthetic is beyond a step up. It's next level. The minute I get that thing in my rack it's going to be the centerpiece. It's gorgeous."
"Had been mixing in the box for 10 years. Bought a Dangerous 2-BUS and SOURCE and now i am the happiest man in Glasgow. Amazing equipment, the Dangerous COMPRESSOR is next."
"The Dangerous COMPRESSOR opens up the top end, makes it more exciting and gives a euphoric sound, which is both subtle and complex."
"I put the Dangerous COMPRESSOR on after everything and the mix starts to sound together."
The Dangerous COMPRESSOR highlights a lot of the melodic elements of the mix in a way that just lets them sparkle. It's so clean, but it has a certain vibe that is just so gorgeous.
"I love this compressor! It۪s perfect on hip hop, R&B tracks, vocals, drums & the mix buss. It does it all."
"If I were able to conjure up the compressor of my dreams, I۪m pretty sure this would be it. It just works."
When Stereo is engaged on the Compressor, only the Threshold and Gain controls are linked. Attack and release remain independent when manual mode is engaged and the Compressor is in Stereo mode.
"It seems to do a lot. Fantastic sounding. It can be subtle, but also knock your socks off with variations of the sidechain path. Sounds like a beautiful box."

Thanks Home Depot/
I know I said I was going to be out of touch for a few days....but I had to say a quick THANK YOU to Home Depot. I have been running around like a mad woman lately...(which I will be telling you all about soon....promise). I was at Home Depot yesterday....and yes....sort of dreading it cuz I needed a lot of stuff and...let's face it...my experiences with Big Box stores like this have not been great in the service department.
But I have to say....not only were there plenty of employees around, they actually approached me (yes...every one of them and I think there were a total of four) and asked if I needed help (which I did) AND, they ALL knew exactly where to guide me to find what I was looking for! Imagine! My mood just kept getting better and better. I went in with the thought that I would never find what I was looking for in this huge place, there would be no one to help me, and if I could find someone, they wouldn't know where to find it either. But I was so pleasantly surprised!
Then I found these lamps (which I wasn't even looking for) that were a great price ($57.95 I think) real glazed porcelain and perfect for my daughter's bedroom. (I have been looking for something affordable for awhile now). My grin turned into a big smile at that point.
So....THANK YOU HOME DEPOT! You have really turned it around. And whatever the reason is: recession , new management, middle of the day on a weekday....I don't care. Your employees were courteous and knowledgeable. Bravo!
OK...just had to say that.
AND ...thank you to the man who took my cart back to the store for me after I unloaded my loot, even though you didn't work for Home Depot. That was really the icing on the cake.

Welcome back to Midweek Madness. Every Wednesday, we board the gossip express, speeding through space and time as we read Ok!, In Touch, Life & Style, Us and Star. This week we learned that Kate Middleton's slender frame has forced Kim Kardashian to go on a crash diet for her wedding day; the lady from The Bachelorette may be engaged, but she's on her way to Splitsville; and Marc Anthony has a fondness for flight attendants and model trains.
"Brad's Mystery Woman!"
We've heard this story before, but here it again: Brad Pitt was photographed walking next to a young brunette woman on the set of the zombie movie he is filming in Malta, World War Z, and since they were seen talking and laughing, "Angie can't take it anymore." In fact, the mag points out: "Now, after six years, maybe Angelina Jolie knows how Jennifer Aniston felt." Ugh. Brad is "laying down the law" and insisting that Angelina "chill out," but she's suspicious because she "always hooked up on set." Also inside: Kim Kardashian has allegedly picked her wedding dress. Actually, Vera Wang has made her three different dresses. We kind of hope she wears them all at the same time. Layers! Insiders claim Kim's gown is strapless with a cascading train and intricate decorations on the bodice because "she wanted something different and unique." Except that sounds like every single wedding dress you have ever seen. Lastly, in JLo and Marc news, they split because he had a wandering eye and he's been spending time with his ex-wife, Dayanara Torres (possibly because they have two kids together). Meh.
Grade: F (derailed freight train)
In Touch
"I'm Terrified Of Being Poor."
Okay. So Teresa from RHONJ has been teased by her castmates ever since her husband's company filed for bankruptcy, but now Teresa and Joe have a new motto: "It's isn't about how much money you make, it's about how much you save." Pro. Found. Meanwhile, Teresa is "terrified of being poor" and "trying to build an empire," and the bricks of that empire are a cookbook, her own cocktail and a line of cosmetics. Next: Kourtney Kardashian got an "instant butt lift" by wearing heels. Unfortunately, she was also wearing a hideous yellow jumpsuit made from Von Trapp family curtains (See Fig. 1). Brad and Angelina are fighting over Shiloh, and it's all Brad's mom's fault. Grandma Jane thinks Shiloh is wild and rebellious and she blames Angelina for that, of course. Apparently Shiloh has been "forgotten," because the twins are always being carried. Plus, Shiloh has asked Angelina to stop traveling, and Jane agrees. Brad is torn, sniffle. Marc Anthony's huge mistake in his marriage was trying to turn Jennifer Lopez into a traditional housewife. Marc thinks the man should be the breadwinner — and he has "an unpredictable and crazy temper." We'll take Latino stereotypes for $500, Alex! The lady from The Bachelorette has allegedly chosen the man who will propose to her, and it's J.P. But. He will never marry her, according to sources, because she is insecure. He likes peppy, confident girls, and once she shows who she really is he'll go back to dating "carefree NYC ladies." Kim Kardashian is on a "crash wedding diet." She is "panicking" because she used to be "way fitter" and she "looks chunky beside Kris." That's her fiancé Kris, not her mom Kris. Apparently, after seeing Kate Middleton "and her skinny sister Pippa," Kim will not settle for anything but a size 2 body on her wedding day. Not only is she working out at home and in the gym with Tracy Anderson and Gunnar Peterson, she's going on a 10-day juice fast. Sounds like she'll be spending a lot of time in the loo. Sexy.
Grade: D- (runaway sooty coal mine cart)
Life & Style
"Secrets Of The Proposal."
Ashley from The Bachelorette was in Fiji and SOMEONE proposed, but even though JP is on the cover, the story inside is very vague about who the "soulmate" is. But she got a 3.5 carat ring and she is back in dental school, where one can only hope she doesn't drop the rock down a patient's throat while examining his molars. Anyway, Ashley is ready to move to where her man lives. What else? Maci from Teen Mom is "thinking about" not having her son Bentley grow up on TV. Just thinking. No decisions have been made. Amber is in rehab, but thinks her ex, Gary, is using their daughter to make money — he started a Twitter account in the kid's name. Did you know that Gary has a line of T-shirts called GARY TIME? Yes. Gary Time. In JLo news, there was a third wheel in the Jennifer Lopez/Marc Anthony relationship, and that wheel was her career. Dun dun dun. Oh, and Marc had Benny Medina fired when he and Jen first got together — Marc hated another man controlling his woman's life; that's his job. But Jennifer rehired Benny recently, which made Marc furious. Also: Jennifer Lopez's mom says Jennifer Lopez is in love with love and jumps into relationships too quickly. We skipped the story about Elin Nordegren finding love with a dude who probably slept with Rachel Uchitel. On purpose. URGENT ROAD TRIP ALERT: Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper are renting a home together in Schenectady, New York, so clearly we need to be driving aimlessly around that town. Olivia Wilde will play Linda Lovelace in a movie about the porn star, and James Franco and Justin Timberlake are also being considered for roles. Jennifer Aniston took Justin Theroux to meet her dad for lunch at a steakhouse in L.A. They ate lobster, they drank wine, they had a great time. Breaking: "Shiloh Loses Another Tooth." Shiloh thinks her smile is "cool" now because she looks like a pirate. Last: Kendra and Hank are waiting to have another baby — first they need one more hot photo together in which Kendra is wearing a sexy dress.
Grade: D (clogged steam engine)
"Her Side Of The Story."
You may think that this is an interview with Jennifer Lopez. You'd be wrong! Just a collection of quotes from "sources" and "insiders." We learn that Marc Anthony had raging jealousy issues and an insatiable need to meddle in JLo's business and wardrobe. Even though he was always making horrible business decisions, Marc forced Jen to go along with them — the terrible movie El Cantante, for instance. Also, he gave Jennifer awful suggestions for her clothing line. He even went with her to photo shoots and said which photos could be used and which could not. Marc could not stand JLo working around men who were remotely attractive — unless he was supervising — and he accused Jenny From The Block of being unfaithful, but he was the one who, in 2009, hooked up with a flight attendant he met on a private plane. Jennifer was fed up with Marc's bad money management skills — and had to pay off the $2.5 million he owed in back taxes. Plus: He smoked, which she hated. The arguing had gotten so bad that he was living at the Hilton in LA, a few miles from home. Forty years from now this will be a gripping movie of the week. Next, here's a picture of Sarah Ramirez from Grey's Anatomy being proposed to in Paris. (See Fig. 2). 50 Cent and his girlfriend Daphne Joy have broken up. Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum have celebrated their 2nd wedding anniversary. Finally: Does natural childbirth hurt? Here's where different celebs fall on a scale of ecstasy to agony (See Fig. 3).
Grade: D+ (brakeless bullet train)
"Plastic Surgery Confessions."
Here we have 11 pages of random famous and semi-famous people and their creepy surgery faces or "botched boob jobs." Victims include Heidi Montag, Lisa Rinna, Courteney Cox, Omarosa, Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed. Priscilla Caputo, we don't know who you are, but you are terrifying. (See Fig. 4) Moving on: "Britney Is A Pig" is about the lawsuit her bodyguard filed alleging unwanted sexual harassment and other grossness. Bad personal hygiene, etc. Next: Someone named Morgain McGovern talks about her drug and booze-fueled adventures with Chelsea Handler. Ecstasy! Cocaine! Drinking! Kirstie Alley doesn't want to have plastic surgery, but she feels like she must, because she lost all that weight and things need… tightening. Julianne Hough has been hanging out with her Rock of Ages costar Diego Boneta, and Ryan Seacrest "blew a gasket" when he saw pictures of them splashing by the pool in Miami. Avril and Brody are having "tough times" in their relationship because he feels like she treats him like a doormat. Lindsay Lohan is maybe dating Spencer Falls, who is part of "Sparah," that fake celeb couple cooked up by Virgin Mobile. Leo and Blake had dinner to talk about their relationship. He drank so much that she told him to slow down. Blake was mad because Leo took his mom to his friend's wedding instead of her, and he was mad that she didn't make a good impression on his mom when they met. In JLo and Marc news, she wanted to leave the marriage as early as Christmas of last year. His jealousy, their unequal fame, and his partying with his trainsets led to sexless nights. See, Marc Anthony has model trains in one room of the house, and he would go up there and close the door and "party," whatever that means. Cough. Ahem. Marc was also jealous of JLo's relationship with superfun old person Steven Tyler. We bet Steven Tyler doesn't play with trains. Or if he does, they are kick-ass rock trains, and anyone can join him.

NASHVILLE, TENN. – It has been over ten years since confetti shot through the air at a Lipscomb basketball game.
Fifty seconds into Thursday evening's "Battle of the Boulevard" between Lipscomb and Belmont, the confetti was flying when Lipscomb's Brandon Brown scored the first two points of the game.
A little over two minutes later, the Bisons had jumped to a 9-3 lead on their way to a 73-68 win over the Bruins in front of 4,778 screaming fans in Allen Arena.
Lipscomb closed out 2008 with a road win at Indiana and then kicked off the New Year with a six-point win over Florida Gulf Coast. The momentum didn't continue though as the Bisons lost seven games in January and February by an average of 3.6 points.
"We needed a close win to get the ultimate confidence especially against a very good team like Belmont," said Lipscomb head coach Scott Sanderson.
Lipscomb's win snapped a three-game losing streak against Belmont and gave Lipscomb their fourth win the last six games.
Sophomore Adnan Hodzic dominated the court for the Bisons posting 28 points and grabbing a career-high 14 rebounds.
"He was terrific," Sanderson said. "He went and rebounded balls out of his area and he created a lot of space on the low post which allowed Michael Teller and Mike Lusk to step up and make some three pointers."
Teller and Lusk connect on three 3-pointers each and combined to go five-of-six in the second half from downtown.
Lipscomb had 22 assists on 29 baskets but Sanderson still saw room for improvement.
"We have to eliminate those last 15 minutes of the first half when we are just standing," Sanderson said. "When we are standing, they can guard our perimeter guys and Adnan both."
The Bisons held a lead as large as six in the first half. Belmont rallied late in the first half. They took their first lead of the night on a layup by Alex Renfroe with 5:21 left in the first to go up 25-24.
Lipscomb regained the lead but the Bruins closed the first half on an 11-0 run to go up 36-27 at the half.
The Bisons retook the lead 44-43 with 14:52 remaining on a layup by Hodzic. The Bruins never led again.
Belmont cut the game to one point with 21 seconds on the clock with a free throw by Shane Dansby. Jimmy Oden closed out the game by connecting on four consecutive free throws, including two to put the Bisons up by five with 6.9 seconds left.
Lipscomb shot 27-of-57 (47.4 percent) from the field. Belmont was 27-of-66 (40.9 percent).
Lipscomb shot a cool 2-of-11 from the 3-point line in the first half, but shot a stellar 7-of-10 in the second half to finish shooting 42.9 percent for the night.
Belmont shot the exact opposite of Lipscomb from the 3-point line. The Bruins opened making 7-of-17 in the first before hitting just 4-of-18 in the second half to finish hitting 31.4 percent from downtown on the evening.
Lipscomb held a 39-34 advantage on the boards and a 34-18 advantage for points in the paint.
Teller led Lipscomb with five assists. Josh Slater, Lusk, and Oden each had four assists.
Renfroe led Belmont with 24 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists.
Lipscomb improves to 10-13, 6-8 in the A-Sun. Belmont falls to 14-9, 10-4 in the A-Sun.
The Bisons are back in action Saturday afternoon in Allen Arena for Homecoming against USC-Upstate. Game time is 2 p.m.
Jonathan Seamon and Benjamin Seamon will be on the call for the Lipscomb Sports Network. Free online audio streaming is available at www.LipscombSports.com/sportsnetwork/.

Intellectual Formation
The motive underlying the intellectual life of the seminarian must be love for Christ and his Church. This easily translates into a love for the Truth as it comes to be known through faith and reason. The study of theology in a seminary must truly be fides quaerens intellectum (faith seeking understanding) at the deepest possible level, where it is Christ who is encountered as a Person, as the Living Truth. The study of theology begins in faith and deepens faith; it flows from prayer and into prayer. The intellectual life of a priest must be a constitutive element of his growth in holiness. The seminarian's Intellectual Formation is not evaluated simply upon his grades. Intellectual Formation is concerned with both content and living.
For some, academic work comes easily; for others, it seems daunting. At Mount St. Mary's Seminary, we have an outstanding faculty and program that will help form the minds and hearts of seminarians according to the heart and mind of Christ and the Church. Mount St. Mary's Seminary conforms to the bishops' guidelines for the intellectual formation of seminarians, presented in the 5th edition of the Program for Priestly Formation.
One of the principal tasks of the seminarian is to study and to come to a more profound knowledge of the One who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. It is important to be clear about our academic expectations. What are the academic expectations for seminarians at Mount St. Mary's Seminary?
Love for truth discovered by faith and reason.
Bernard of Clairvaux states in his commentary On the Song of Songs: "Let those who are versed in mystery revel in it; let all others burn with desire rather to attain this experience rather than merely learn about it." The seminarian must display a love for this pursuit and grow in habits that discourage intellectual sloth.
Fidelity to the Word of God and the Magisterium
The content of our studies is the principally the Word of God, written and handed down through the Scriptures and the Magisterium. The seminarian is expected to be open to intellectual conversion and appreciation for the richness of the Church's wisdom.
Knowledge of Catholic Doctrine imbued with Apostolic Zeal
Today the world is rich in scientific and technical knowledge, but threatened by relativism and an increasingly narrow scope of the human person. Today's priest must have more than a competency in the teaching of the Church; he must also know how to present this knowledge in the face of the present challenges. The Church needs intellectually well-formed priests to answer the questions posed by the "new atheism"; to assist families in crisis or those facing difficult and technical ethical issues; to defend the weak and vulnerable members of society; and to provide sound teaching to the Faithful who are today so desirous for authentic catechesis.
A Spirit of Christian Asceticism appropriate for the Intellectual life
Ascetical practices are an integral part of priestly spiritual and intellectual formation. Asceticism seeks to create space for God. The seminarian is encouraged to engage study and its related habits as a type of asceticism. In the monastic tradition, St. Benedict warns of distraction, "wandering" and lack of focus. It is the stable Word of God that helps heal the wound of distraction. Many enter the seminary already distracted and with minds easily diverted. The constant bombardment from a media-driven culture, technological escapism and its accompanying gadgets provide the seminarian with many unhelpful opportunities that divert them from their end: seeking the Lord. Seminarians at Mount St. Mary's are encouraged to engage in moderate media use and to practice some type of "virtual" fasting. It is the formation of the life-giving and life-long habits of finding both intellectual stimulation and mental relaxation in the contemplation of the things of God we seek to inculcate in the men.

Box Score | Photo Gallery
ST. LOUIS, Mo. - Playing in its second College Cup Championship in the last three years, the UC Santa Barbara men's soccer team won its first NCAA National Championship, the second in any sport in the school's NCAA Division I history, with a 2-1 victory over UCLA on Sunday.
UCSB had had virtually no success against the Bruins throughout the years. Entering the match, the Gauchos had defeated UCLA just once in 32 meetings, on Oct. 30, 1982, but they picked a great time to end the drought. It was the school's first National Championship since 1979 when the men's water polo team won. The win also helped the program overcome the disappointment of losing to Indiana on penalty kicks in the 2004 College Cup title match.
Santa Barbara finishes the season with an 18-7-0 record, including a perfect 6-0 mark in the NCAA Tournament and an 11-1-0 record since opening the season at 7-6-0.
"This is as exciting as it can be," said UCSB head coach Tim Vom Steeg. "People can talk about a National Championship, but you don't really realize what it's like until you're out there. It was thrilling for a lot of reasons, but more than anything, I just love the way be played today."
As they have done in three of their NCAA Tournament victories this season, the Gauchos struck first and it was a familiar face who put it in. At the 2:12 mark, sophomore forward Nick Perera gave Santa Barbara an early 1-0 lead when he slipped a low ball off the left post and in past Bruin goalkeeper Eric Reed after collecting a cross from junior midfielder Tyler Rosenlund in the box.
Perera gave the Gauchos an early lead in their 3-1 win over No. 3 seed SMU and scored on the first shot of the game again three days later at Old Dominion. The goal was the team-leading seventh of the year for Perera and the first the Bruins had allowed in over 160 minutes of play. Entering Sunday's match the Gauchos were 15-1 this season when scoring first. Senior goalkeeper Kyke Reynish, playing in his final game in the blue and gold, made that stat hold true.
"Kyle played three years behind Danny Kennedy," Vom Steeg said. "He had to sit and wait for his time. Kyle learned a lot during the three years and we have had a great deal of confidence in him. Over the past 10 or 12 games, Kyle has really grown as a goalkeeper. About 10 games ago, I threatened to make him no longer a goalkeeper. He was part of the big turnaround for us. He knew he had to be part of the solution when we were 7-6. Kyld did his thing."
Perera had an opportunity to put UCSB ahead 2-0 minutes later when senior co-captain Bryan Byrne fed a great ball forward in between two UCLA defenders. Perera caught up with the ball in full stride and went to his right. After Reed charged on the play, the native of Madrid, Spain fired past the keeper, but his shot bounced off the left post.
Rosenlund had yet another chance to give the Gauchos a two-goal advantage when he slipped past the Bruin backline, but his shot hit the left post, as well.
UCLA's first opportunity of the afternoon came in the 19th minute when defender Brad Rusin got a head on a ball off of Mike Zaher corner kick, but Reynish continued his excellent play and leaped up for the save. Zaher had another look from the top of the box three minutes later but it sailed high.
The Gauchos held an 8-3 shot advantage at halftime and clearly out-played the heavily favored Bruins in the first 45 minutes of play. While UCLA did have its opportunities, the Santa Barbara backline consistently cleared the ball out of the box and held the Bruins' talented front at bay. Reynish needed just one save to hold the Bruins scoreless at the break.
UCSB continued to attack in the early stages of the second half. In the 55th minute, a Byrne shot was deflected and the rebound went to senior midfielder Eric Frimpong, who got a good foot on the ball from the top of the circle, but Reed was there for the save.
The Gauchos took a 2-0 lead at Rosenlund cleared a ball out of the Bruin backfield up for Byrne on the right wing. Byrne, showing his incredible speed, dribbled up and turned inside before centering for Perera. Perera slowed up and fed a trailing Avila to his left. With Reed scrambling to recover his position, Avila chipped it in the left portion of the goal for his team-leading eighth goal of the season.
The Bruins first shot of the second period came 18 minutes in when Zaher shot up and over the wall on a free kick. Reynish, happy to see some action, was there for the routine save. Midfielder Tony Beltran had a look five minutes later, but he too sent his shot high.
Even with the 2-0 lead Vom Steeg refused to sit on the ball. With a makeshift backline of juniors Andy Iro and Greg Curry, along with sophomore Alfonso Motagalvan - who started for just the seventh time this season in place of banged up Brennan Tennelle - playing well all day, the Gauchos continued to push offensively.
Rosenlund had an excellent chance to give UCSB a commanding 3-0 lead in the 74th minute when he got through the Bruin defense with the ball at his feet, but Reed rushed the ball and corralled it before Rosenlund could get the shot off.
UCLA got on the board in the 79th minute when Beltran fed a rushing Jason Leopoldo just inside the six-yard box. Leopoldo punched it in over an out-stretched Reynish to cut the deficit in half and rejuvenate a Bruin squad that had been looking to get going all day.
The Bruins nearly tied it up when Kyle Nakazawa's free kick from the left side got through everyone in the 86th minute. Defender Sean Alvarado raced to get a foot on the ball before it went out of play, but he could not get enough of it to send it towards the net and the rest was history.
UCSB defender Andy Iro, the 2006 All-College Cup Most Outsdanding Defensive Player, when the Gauchos lost in a penalty kick shootout to Indiana, was ecstatic to win in 2006.
"2004 was real disappointing but this year's win was more than a win for me and the team," he said. "A lot of people back home were willing us on. A lot of guys and coaches have come through the program that we tried to build. So this is just a culmination of all of that. So much effort has gne itno it before this."
Perera was named the All-College Cup Most Outstanding Offensive Player after scoring the game-winner against the Bruins.

A dramatic new time-lapse movie by the Hubble telescope shows for the first time seasonal changes on the planet. Once considered one of the blander-looking planets, Uranus is now revealed as a dynamic world with the brightest clouds in the outer solar system and a fragile ring system that wobbles like an unbalanced wagon wheel. The clouds are probably made of crystals of methane, which condense as warm bubbles of gas well up from deep in the planet's atmosphere.

--relay-log-index and
--relay-log options that can be set to specify where the index file. These options can either be used to set an absolute path or a relative path to use for the files. If the option starts with a
/, it is considered an absolute path (drive letters are allowed on Windows though), otherwise the path is relative to the data directory (which is specified through the
--datadir option). The values supplied to these options are provided from SQL as the system variables relay-log-index and relay-log respectively.
The recommendation is to always set the
--relay-log and
--relay-log-index since the default value for these options contain the hostname. The problem with this is that if the database files is moved to a new machine with a different hostname, the server will not be able to pick up the files correctly and will assume that they do not exist.
The logic for finding the location of the relay log files can be quite daunting; to find the location of the relay log index file:
- If relay_log_index is set, this is the location of the relay log index file.
- If relay_log_index is not set, then the value supplied to the relay_log option is used to figure out the name of the relay log index file.
- If neither relay_log_index nor relay_log is set, then the name of the relay log index file is taken by stripping the directory and extension from the pid_file variable (set using the
--pid-fileoption), if supplied, and adding
-relay-bin.indexto the end of the string.
- The pid_file variable has a default value which consists of
datadir/hostname.pid, which would give the relay log index file a name of
- The pid_file variable has a default value which consists of
- If the path is a relative path—that is, the path does not start with a directory separator—then the value of datadir is prepended to the relay log index file name.
CREATE FUNCTION relay_log_index_file () RETURNS VARCHAR(256) DETERMINISTIC READS SQL DATA BEGIN DECLARE rli_name VARCHAR(256); IF @@relay_log_index IS NOT NULL THEN SET rli_name = @@relay_log_index; ELSEIF @@relay_log IS NOT NULL THEN SET rli_name = @@relay_log; ELSE BEGIN DECLARE l_pid_file VARCHAR(256); DECLARE l_pid_base VARCHAR(256); SET l_pid_file = SUBSTRING_INDEX(@@pid_file, '/', -1); SET l_pid_base = SUBSTRING_INDEX(l_pid_file, '.', 1); SET rli_name = CONCAT(l_pid_base, '-relay-bin.index'); END; END IF; IF rli_name NOT LIKE '/%' THEN RETURN CONCAT(@@datadir, rli_name); END IF; RETURN rli_name; ENDThis is a quite complicated way of figuring out the location of the relay log files and hardly something that I consider very useful. It would be much better if the relay_log_index variable gave the complete path to the file, regardless of what was given to the --relay-log-index option (or even if the option was given at all).
Being able to fetch the relay log index file is quite convenient, but being able to fetch the binary log index file would be even more convenient. Unfortunately, there is no such variable. The --log-bin option can be used to supply a base name to use for the binary log, but the log_bin variable can only be ON or OFF, which in my book is not very smart. To fix this, I created WL#5465, which introduces three new variables—log_bin_basename, relay_log_basename, and log_bin_index—and changes behaviour of relay_log_index.
- log_bin_basename
- This is a global read-only variable that contain the base file name used for the binary log files, the path to the files but omitting the extension.
- If a full path was given to --log-bin-index, this will be stored in log_bin_index.
- If a relative path was given to --log-bin-index, the contents of datadir will be used as directory and prepended to the value of --log-bin-index
- Otherwise, the value of datadir will be used as the directory of the file and the base name is created by taking the basename of pid_file (name without extension) and adding '
- log_bin_index
- This is a global read-only variable containing the full name to the binary log index file. If no value is given, the value of log_bin_basename is used and the extension '
.index' is added.
- relay_log_basename
- This is a global read-only variable containing the base file name used for the relay log file, that is, the full path to the relay logs but not including the extension. The value of this variable is created in the same way as for log_bin_basename with the only difference that the '
-relay-bin' suffix is used instead of '
- relay_log_index
- This is a global read-only variable containing the full name of the relay log index file. If no value is given, the value of relay_log_basename is used and the extension '
.index' is added.
SELECT @@log_bin_index'.
An alternative: let the application do the jobCreating a stored function for computing the relay log index file name might be overkill in many situation. If the value is needed from serveral different connections it makes sense to create it as a stored function to allow it to be used by different applications. It can, however, just as well be placed in the application code which would then compute the location of the relay log index file using a single query to the server.
The information you need is the data directory from datadir, the pid file name from pid_file (in the event that the relay log or the relay log index option does not have a value), and the relay_log and relay_log_index values.
For example, the following Python code could be used to compute the data directory, the base use for creating relay log files, and the name of the index file using a single query to the database server:
import os.path def get_relay_log_info(connection): cursor = connection.cursor() cursor.execute("SELECT @@datadir, @@pid_file, @@relay_log, @@relay_log_index") datadir, pid_file, relay_log, relay_log_index = cursor.fetchone() def _add_datadir(filename): if os.path.isabs(filename): return filename else: return os.path.join(datadir, filename) pidfile_base = os.path.basename(os.path.splitext(pid_file)[0]) base_name = _add_datadir(relay_log or pidfile_base + '-relay-bin') index_file = _add_datadir(relay_log_index or base_name + '.index') return { 'datadir': datadir, 'base': base_name, 'index': index_file }

At least one suburban leader wants to explore the idea of a shared superintendent for several of the municipal school districts to come.
Rachel Seaton, with daughters Katelyn, 2, and Hallie, 7, casts a ballot at Collierville Church of Christ in the municipal school district election.
(Daily News/Lance Murphey)
Arlington Mayor Mike Wissman raised the possibility the day after voters in all six suburban cities and towns approved in special elections the formation of separate suburban school systems.
"I think Arlington and Lakeland do have a strong commitment to try to share a superintendent and/or central office if possible. That's something we've been talking about all along," Wissman said, talking specifically about former Shelby County Schools superintendent John Aitken. "I think if somehow there was a way to choose John Aitken as a superintendent, or someone like John, I don't think Arlington or Lakeland would be as apprehensive as maybe some of the other ones would be in doing that."
His comments demonstrate the different paths the towns and cities are likely to take in building their school systems. And he acknowledged not all suburban leaders think a common suburban superintendent is possible or something they want to pursue.
But Wissman added that attorneys he has consulted have said it is possible.
"That's the pretense we're going under that we can move forward in that direction," he said. "You can't use your principal as a superintendent. You have to have someone dedicated as a superintendent. It doesn't mean that superintendent cannot work in other areas also. For a lot of us it makes sense."
Bartlett Mayor Keith McDonald had indicated even before the referendum elections that Bartlett probably wasn't interested in such a scenario even if it was legally permissible.
As for talks about shared services in general, McDonald agreed there are differences in how important that is depending on the size of the suburban cities and towns.
"There may be some discussions going on between some of the other cities in a more fervent way," McDonald said.
"I'm not having any. I'm still focused on the goal of local control. That being said, certainly it would be wise for us or the new school board when they are elected to consider in terms of cost and efficiency what they might be able to share in either with the unified system or with one of the other suburban systems."
"Maybe the buildings aren't as much of an issue if there's some agreement on shared services. It's going to take each individual system to see what they need."
–Arlington Mayor Mike Wissman
Ken Hoover, a backer of the Germantown school district who ran for and was elected to the Germantown school board last year before the election results were voided in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee, is anxious to see talks get underway on issues like county schools buildings in the municipalities.
"I hope that we see rapid progress in the building discussions, now that the referendum is behind us," he said.
The discussions about how to turn over school buildings may not be as contentious as some expect especially if there are agreements for the use of the building without resolving at least immediately who owns them.
"Maybe the buildings aren't as much of an issue if there's some agreement on shared services. It's going to take each individual system to see what they need," Wissman said. "Bartlett and Germantown are fully functional communities. ...
"Some of the communities want to be totally self-sufficient where some of us don't have a problem with sharing services or relying on others. That's where it's going to be on a case-by-case situation in my personal opinion."
Wissman said attorneys representing the Shelby County Commission and the suburban leaders have talks scheduled later this month that are a follow-up to some very preliminary discussions before the referendums.
"Now that the vote has happened and we are official, hopefully there will be some recognition amongst the parties in the lawsuit and the school board as we have discussions moving forward," Wissman said. "They've been feeling each other out as far as what kind of negotiations or settlements are we talking about."
Hoover said he will be running again in the school board elections in each town that are coming probably in early November. He also says all of the other contenders who won seats last year on the Germantown school board will probably run again as well.
"There were 8,000 people in Germantown who got up off the sofa and went out and cast a ballot not for the purpose of determining the outcome – that was preordained," he said of the referendum turnout this week.
"And still 8,000 people in the middle of vacation season did what they needed to do to get to the polls just to cast that ballot. … To me that is evidence of a tremendous passion in the community for our schools."

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. — Nichols Family Director of Athletics Bob Scalise has announced that Bill Decker has been named the Joseph J. O'Donnell '67 Head Coach for Harvard Baseball. Decker will begin his duties immediately.
Decker, the 2008 ABCA National Coach of the Year, recently completed his 22nd season as head coach of the Trinity College (Conn.) baseball team. Trinity's all-time winningest coach, he owns a 529-231 (.696) record there while winning five conference championships and advancing to nine NCAA Tournament appearances and winning one national championship.
"We are extremely excited to have someone of Bill's character and background to lead our baseball program," said Scalise. "We are particularly impressed with Bill's successes at a well-respected academic institution such as Trinity. Harvard has a lengthy tradition of excellence in baseball and we trust that our program will thrive under coach Decker."
"Obviously it's a situation that nobody in baseball wanted to be in with the untimely passing of Joe Walsh," said Decker in a nod of respect to his predecessor who wore the Harvard uniform for 17 seasons. "Nevertheless this is a tremendous opportunity at a world-class institution and I greatly look forward to both those opportunities as well as the challenges to come."
I have been fortunate to spend 22 years at a wonderful place in Trinity College that's been home to me and my family. We went to nine NCAA tournaments, got to the World Series four times and managed to win one title. I step away from that program knowing it's healthy and knowing that I can share a similar situation with the wonderful people at Harvard."
In 2008, Decker led Trinity to a 45-1 mark en route to the school's first-ever NCAA Division III National title. After finishing the regular season undefeated, the Bantams ran their record streak to 44 games, which is the longest winning-streak in Division III history. The .978 winning percentage set a new NCAA record in any division in any sport.
On top of being selected as the 2008 ABCA National Coach of the Year, Decker was also selected as the New England Coach of the Year in 1999, 2004, 2008 and 2009 as well as the New England Small College Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in 2000, 2003, 2008 and 2009.
In 2012, Decker led the Bantams to a 34-11 record and a fifth NESCAC Championship title. In 2009, the Bantams won the NESCAC Championship, and the New England Regional Championship to earn a second consecutive bid to the Div. III College World Series. In 2007, Decker's team advanced to NCAA Tournament play for the third time in five years and won four games in the regional.
In 2005, Decker guided Trinity to a 35-9 record and was named the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association (NEIBA) Coach of the Year. Trinity also won its second NCAA Division III Regional Championship title in three years and made its second trip to the NCAA Division III World Series.
Decker has been an active member of the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association as a regional coordinator. In 1997, Decker was a member of the USA Baseball National Trials coaching staff and has made summer trips as part of Major League Baseball International. Eight Trinity players have continued their baseball careers at the professional level in the past seven years, and Jonah Bayliss became the first NESCAC player in 10 years to appear in a major league game in 2006. Decker-coached athletes compete annually in the NCAA-sponsored collegiate leagues each summer.
A 1985 graduate of Ithaca College, Decker received a bachelor's degree in physical education with a minor in business. He also holds a master's degree in physical education with a concentration in coaching, which he received from his alma mater in 1992. Decker's baseball career was cut short due to injury in college but the two-sport star was a team captain and an All-America defensive back for the football team.
Bill resides in Simsbury, Conn. with his wife, Nancy, and their children, Kyle, Sarah and Kacey.
