(Editor's note: The following is part of an occasional series through the current football season, highlighting the 1965 Anderson Bearcats.)
Cecil McFarland might have given everything he had to football, but he's quick to point out that he was able to take something from his time as an Anderson Bearcat through life.
He shows off one of his prized possessions.
"One of the traditions," he says, breaking into a laugh, "was stealing a practice football."
Just because you are shooting for – maybe even supposed to get – your team's berth in the state tournament since 1994?
What pressure?
Just because this is the last go-round for a group that has been touted as one of the best gatherings of golfers in the history of the Anderson County High School program, but have never made it out of the region?
"I feel we have three of the top five golfers in the region," says senior Jacob Flora. "There's no pressure at all."
Flora smiles as if he knows the questioner has doubts.
GRAYSON – It's always been about "my boys" to Ron Reed.
Even though the last time he directed a basketball team was guiding the Russell High School girls in the 16th Region tournament at Morehead State University, Reed wanted to make sure his boys would be the first to know about the latest development in his life.
"I asked them not to say anything until I told my boys," Reed said of his new employer at Kentucky Christian University. "I wanted to tell my boys first.'
Henry County overcame a 15-point, fourth quarter deficit to stun host Anderson County 45-42 in high school football action Friday night.
Trailing 42-27 entering the fourth quarter, Henry put together a pair of 80-yard drives, got a two-point conversion to tie things, then, drove 79 yards from its own 10 to set up Dylan Doll's 28-yard, game-winning field goal with 10 seconds to play.
HARRODSBURG – Long before Anderson County ran that first wind sprint or hit that first blocking sled in the pre-season, the message was always the same: Don't just get to the state playoffs. Do some damage once you get there.
Those days are still seven weeks away, but Bearcat football coach Mark Peach has not gotten off the central point of his season-long sermon. And Friday's 42-13 romp at Mercer County was no exception.
A late surge was all that Collins needed to defeat host Anderson County for the second time in two weeks in 28th District volleyball action last Thursday.
Already up with a win in game one, the Titans broke a 13-13 deadlock in game two, gaining possession and the lead on a bad return by the Lady Bearcats. Heather Luce then served up five straight points, giving Collins an insurmountable 19-13 lead.
Random thoughts while figuring the Reds' magic number ...
There is a lot to like about the Anderson County football team and the Bearcats showed why Friday at Mercer County.
There is a long way to go in the season and a good Henry County team coming to town this week, so let's not get ahead of ourselves. The Wildcats might have the best quarterback the Bearcats will see this year and last year's game was closer than the 42-7 final would indicate.
But still, the Anderson team has shown it has the potential to be playing well into the post-season.

Bearcats roll past Mercer
By John Herndon
Sports editor
HARRODSBURG -- Anderson County junior Travis Phillips took a pair of Seth Carmichael passes for touchdowns and intercepted a Mercer County pass late in the first half to propel the Bearcats to a 42-13 romp past Mercer on Friday night in Harrodsburg.
Phillips did his damage all within a 66-second span that saw the Bearcats break open a 7-7 tie.
"Travis was huge," Anderson coach Mark Peach said. "He was everywhere. He is very tough to tackle in the open field."
Anderson County wanted to make quick work of an over-matched Berea boys' soccer team on Saturday.
Romeo Nava made sure of it.
The senior found the net with a goal just 19 seconds into the contest, propelling the Bearcats to a 5-0 win, their sixth straight.
Nava's shot was practically uncontested and was a preview of things to come.
While Anderson only added one more goal, from Steven Pulcifer, before halftime, the Bearcats were firmly in control and Berea never seriously threatened.

Faith From A Buddhist Point Of View.
"There is no need to control or try to dominate life. It only leads to me being suppressed or dominated…"
It is often said that we grow a great deal during difficult times. I don't doubt that we "grow" through these times, but I do wonder whether or not the times themselves are difficult. All of my difficulty with time seems to emerge from the fact that I refuse to let go of my treasured self image, which the present moment has challenged. In other words, I have fallen on hard times when I fail to realize that my contrived self-image has reached it's expiration date! So from an ego-centric point of view it is seen as painful, because with insight comes death—that is the death of the ego.
Life has a way of deconstructing the static images I project, and in those moments of insight everything that I think I am—positive and negative alike—is revealed to be little more than speculative fantasy. Being totally empty and insubstantial this self-conscious image provides no resistance to the flow of life, which tears through my ego-fashioned garments to illuminate the heart. Illuminate is perhaps to technical a term—it is as if life has reached out and quite literally touched the heart. In Buddhism this "touching of the heart" is described as faith…
The whole experience is remarkably intimate, compassionate in fact. Pain is sensitivity. Sensitivity, not to the self-conscious notion of existence, but to the direct experience of being. It is to this intuition that I pray, and as Thomas Merton suggests, this prayer "looks primarily at a transformation of consciousness—a transformation and liberation of the Truth imprisoned in man by ignorance and error." Spontaneous prayer is an internal plea from humanity to humanity, welcoming itself home in a silent embrace. This home—the ground of being—is pure energy, of which "you" and "I" are mere reflections.
There is no need to control or try to dominate life. It only leads to me being suppressed or dominated because, I am life. I am truly praying when I observe and embrace this energy—when I listen to my heart. This listening is faith.

Eight Idaho schools selected for suicide prevention project
Image by Maria Decaney
Eight Idaho schools have been selected to participate in the initial phase of the Idaho Lives Project, a partnership between the Idaho State Department of Education and the Suicide Prevention Action Network to reduce and prevent suicide among youths between 10-24 in Idaho.
"The tragedy of suicide is beyond measure, and unfortunately, Idaho is not immune to this tragedy. With the right training, knowledge and support, suicide is preventable. I appreciate these eight schools participating in this project, and I look forward to working with them to find the best ways we as a state and as local communities can prevent youth suicide today and in the future," Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Luna said.
A total of 18 schools applied to implement the program; eight were selected after a blind review process based on their need and readiness to benefit. The selected schools are:
• Priest River Lamanna High School, Priest River
• Lapwai Middle School- High School, Lapwai
• Parma High School, Parma
• Parma Middle School, Parma
• Nampa High School, Nampa
• Silver Creek Alternative High School, Hailey
• Salmon Middle School- High School, Salmon
• Teton High School, Driggs
The schools will receive support, training, and $3,000 in funding to implement Sources of Strength, an evidence-based suicide prevention program that utilizes the power of social networks to change unhealthy norms and culture that can contribute to youth suicide.
"We very much look forward to formal training and programs to help us emphasize to students the power of positive relationships with adults and peers," said Sharma Thornton, counselor at Silver Creek Alternative High School, one of the selected schools. "We are also excited to gain better experience and training our students on how to maximize their strengths, better use existing school resources, and to maximize community resources. The entire staff and student body at Silver Creek will benefit from this program."
The Idaho Lives Project is made possible by the State and Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention Grant awarded through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to support states and tribes in developing and implementing suicide prevention strategies.
The state was awarded $1.29 million over three years to implement the Idaho Lives Project. This is just the first phase. In the 2014-2015 school years, the Idaho Lives Project will select an additional 10-14 schools to begin implementing Sources of Strength.

This is the sixth segment in a series on K-12 education.
Although John Dewey, the originator of "progressive education," defied most of the cultural, moral, and economic norms of his era, his message nevertheless somehow mainstreamed its way into K-12 schools nationwide. Dewey characterized himself as a "democratic socialist." Over the years, his writings increasingly underscored an aversion to the free-market system; an abhorrence of religion, especially Christianity; a distaste for educational basics such as reading and writing; and finally, in 1928, an admiration for Soviet schooling — for the creation of what he called a "collectivistic mentality." Given the traditionalistic norms of the 1920s and 30s, the likelihood of his affecting a sea change in education seemed about as likely as the United States replacing the Constitution with Shariah law. Then again, strange things happen, and not usually by chance.
Throughout Dewey's voluminous writings, two themes recur: that education and learning are interactive processes, which had some basis, and that the school itself is a social institution through which social reform can and should take place, which paved the way for political opportunists.

The countdown to camp is fast approaching, and the American Camp Association® (ACA) has the following tips to help families prepare and pack for a fun-filled camp experience.
- Plan Ahead — Remember your happy camper will be living out of a duffel back, trunk, or suitcase for the duration. Packing light helps campers keep track of items, and guarantees that they can handle their own luggage at camp.
- Review Camp Packing Lists — Individual camps should provide a recommended camp packing list, complete with any required equipment, preferred footwear, etc. Be sure to carefully review what is needed, with special attention to those items that may not be permitted at camp. Before packing your camper's favorite Nintendo DS, be sure that the camp permits electronic items. If you have questions, be sure to speak with the camp director.
- Label Everything — Laundry pens, iron-ons, and press and stick labels will distinguish your camper's belongings from those of other cabin or tent mates. Most camps ask that you label each item, including clothing, personal items, and toiletries. Make sure that your child can identify the label used.
- Break in Shoes and Boots Before Camp Begins — Make sure that your child's clothing and footwear are comfortable and appropriate. Sending a camper in brand-new hiking boots can result in sore feet and time spent sitting out of exciting activities.
- Prepare Together — Decisions about camp, like what to pack, should be made together. The more ownership your camper has in these decisions, the easier the adjustment and transition to camp will be.
For individual and special questions, contact your camp director. Camp directors welcome the opportunity to assist you and your camper as you prepare for this exciting and life-changing experience.

86-Year-Old Great-Great Grandmother Writes Her First Romance Novel
It's never too late to try something new. Look to the example of 86-year-old Salt Lake City woman Georgia Gorringe, who just self-published a steamy romance about a "bored housewife" and a talk-radio host, after she spent five years working on it. »

Yum! Why Beef, Butter, and Eggs Are Back on the Menu
If you've banished red meats and egg yolks from your diet for health reasons, there's reason to rejoice. I think the notion that saturated fat and cholesterol are the demons in the diet is 100 percent wrong. When you look at the data, it's very clear: Most of what we've been told about saturated fat and cholesterol is simply not so. Recent research has shown that there's no connection between saturated fat in the diet and the incidence of heart disease. Instead of saturated fat and cholesterol, most leading-edge experts are now looking at inflammation as a prime mover in the development of heart disease.
Forbidden foods that are okay to eat
>> BUTTER was never bad to begin with. It was banished from our tables because of our ill-advised fear of saturated fats, and we replaced it with something much worse!
>> GRASS-FED BEEF contains anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids and less omega-6s, which are inflammatory. It's also free of hormones, a very big plus indeed.
>> TROPICAL OILS are good. When we reduced our intake of saturated fat and replaced it with vegetable oils like corn, soy, and canola, the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 in our diets became wildly out of balance. Omega-6s are the building blocks of inflammatory chemicals in our bodies, and we are consuming six to 25 times more of them than we are the anti-inflammatory omega-3s. Substituting Malaysian palm fruit oil for some of that inflammatory omega-6 will help right the balance. Malaysian palm fruit oil won't cause inflammation and won't break down into toxic substances when you cook with it.
>> EGG YOLKS are back. What a relief that you don't have to suffer through one more tasteless egg white omelet. The advice to eat egg white omelets is way past its expiration date!
>> DARK MEAT POUTLRY, USDA data shows, has mere milligrams of difference vs. white meat. It does have more fat, but there's no need to fear it. Just be cautious of the skin, which is calorically dense.
>> CHEESE AND NUTS: One ounce of nuts a day is associated with lower body mass index, so these are absolutely healthy. But they are also easy to overeat—and can contribute to weight gain when overindulged in—so be careful about the amount you consume.
The irony is that the foods we were taught are good for us—breads, cereals, pasta, rice, and potatoes—are the very ones that are killing us. Our bodies convert these foods to sugar almost instantly. Sugar raises insulin, which causes inflammation, which is the fundamental cause of heart disease.
Among those supposed "health foods" there are quite a few impostors lurking behind some really good marketing campaigns. Let's take a look at some of the top offenders.
"Healthy foods" that aren't that healthy
>> MOST SUPERMARKET CEREALS, with few exceptions, are fiber lightweights. The overwhelming majority are loaded with sugar. Most have a very high glycemic impact, meaning they raise blood sugar quickly, contributing to mood swings and energy dips. Whole grains are better, but those who are sensitive to blood sugar fluctuations will have still have to be careful. The best cereals are old-fashioned oatmeal, and a few standouts like Fiber One and All-Bran. Most of the others: not so good. Look for those that pass the "five and five" rule: less than five grams of sugar, more than five grams of fiber.
>> GRANOLA BARS are candy bars masquerading as a health food. While some "energy" or "protein" bars are the genuine article, most are simply chewy versions of candy bars, with very little fiber, lots of processed carbs, and a ton of sugar. You're better off "rolling your own" out of raw oats, chopped almonds, coconut flakes, raisins, and a dollop of raw organic honey.
>> FROZEN YOGURT is a prime example of the triumph of marketing over good sense. The only thing frozen yogurt has in common with real yogurt is that they're both white. Real yogurt—one of the healthiest foods on earth—is loaded with live cultures which support your digestive health. The live culture content of most frozen yogurt is precisely zero. What's more, frozen yogurt is usually filled with chemicals, and the artificial sweeteners in the nonfat yogurts can cause cravings just like sugar. You're better off with real, creamy, organic ice cream—just don't eat too much.
>> APPLE JUICE. Apples are healthy, but apple juice? Not so fast. One cup of apple juice has zero grams of fiber, 117 calories, and 29 grams of carbs, 27 of which are sugar (and your typical serving is a lot more than a cup). Sorry, but that's not a health drink, it's sugar water with apple flavoring. The implications of giving our kids eight cups a day of this stuff are just now beginning to be understood. An apple a day keeps the doctor away: Wish we could say the same about apple juice, but we can't.
>> CANOLA OIL, though it may sound sacrilegious, isn't a health bargain after all. Conventional canola oil is processed by high temperature mechanical pressing. It goes through caustic refining, bleaching, and degumming. The high temperatures needed to extract the oil from the rapeseed plant make its highly touted omega-3s rancid and foul smelling, requiring them to be deodorized, a process that creates some trans-fatty acids. Unless it's cold-pressed and organic, stay away.
>> FARM-RAISED SALMON, I am sorry to say, don't compare favorably with the wild variety. Farm-raised salmon have up to eight times the level of carcinogenic PCBs and they're lower in omega-3 fats. Penned salmon are fed grain and fishmeal and a ton of antibiotics, and they don't have nearly the nutritional value as their wild relatives. In addition, wild salmon get their red color from astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant that comes from their natural food source, krill. Farmed salmon get their color from a color wheel.
Though fat has been villainized for decades now, the truth is that we all need fat in our diets. People who follow low-fat diets are hungry all the time because fat is one of the main things that makes you feel full. Also, if your body learns to run primarily on sugar instead of fat, your metabolism is compromised. Sugar is far more damaging to the heart than fat ever was. The world's focus on cholesterol has been incredibly destructive because it took our focus away from the real promoters of heart disease: inflammation, oxidative damage, sugar, and—number one with a bullet—stress.

What: Angela lathers up with Dove's Cool Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner.
The Lowdown: Here's my confession: I'm a shampoo addict. Being someone with hair that will never be featured in a shampoo commercial, I'm on a constant quest to find products that will produce some kind of hair magic. While Dove's Cool Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner may not necessarily make my locks TV-worthy, the line did become one of my new favorites.
The bottle claims that hair will be left feeling clean and revitalized, and it was; the conditioner wasn't too heavy, and left my hair soft but not weighed down. Not magic, but close enough. And the fragrance, cucumber and green tea, is a winner too.
Yea or Nay: Yea for both shampoo and conditioner, and for about $4 apiece, they're a bargain to boot.

Cunning interface reads dc voltage through a transformer
Hidden at the bottom of an LED lighting circuit from iWatt is a rather neat idea for sensing a 0-10V (and 1-10V) control voltage via an isolation transformer.
Looking much like a dc-dc converter with the switch on the secondary side, it allows the chip to sense the control voltage while the transformer blocks any errors due to dc offset or damaging transients on the control line. Nor can the converter stuff mains back up the control lines.
I am guessing it imposes a read signal from the Tdrv pin.
And I am assuming there is a resistor involved on the primary side or the primary winding resistance is high enough to stop it shorting out the source.
As far as I can see, the downside is that the circuit imposes a variable impedance onto the 0-10V control line which might cause ripple that upsets other devices sensing the same control line.
The company told me that it is no worse that shorting the transformer output, and that the 0-10V spec requires the far-end dc source to be able to both source and sink current.
The rest of the chip – the iW3630 – is a 45W two-stage off-line ac-dc switcher with primary side control to avoid the need for an opto-coupler.
Power factor is over 0.95, and it is also PWM dimmable.
Frustratingly, the firm is following an annoying trend by not putting the data sheet up on its website – at least not when I wrote this.

Hi Mike.
Your mention of saturable core reactors remainds me of mag amps, and how I never understood them, however hard I tried.
I am going to email iWatt to try to find out how this thing works, and why it doesn't it short out the 0-10V source.
February 22, 2013 09:31
This circuit reminds me of a very old fashioned method of dimming stage lights based on a saturable core reactor ?
I recall that this used a varying current in the primary of a transformer to control the inductance of the secondary – or something like that ?
A bit of Googling on this topic lead me to this very simple oscillator

You can get a PDF version of them here. They also have images, though I found them rather low quality (presumably they work better on such e-readers). We have very high res versions here.

New pavilion inaugurated in Pointe Claire

The West Island Palliative Care Residence (WIPCR) inaugurated its new pavilion last Thursday morning that will add 14 beds to the nine that have been operating in the original residence in Kirkland for a decade now. The announcement was made at the first floor of Le Vivalis personal care facility of which the new Pavilion Stillview occupies the fourth floor on Stillview Road at the corner of Hymus Boulevard in Pointe Claire.
The expansion to 23 beds allows WIPCR to conform to the norms recommended by the Quebec Ministry of Health and Social Services of one palliative care bed per 10,000 residents. The expansion has been made possible by important private and government investments.
The government of Quebec will be chiming in $840,000 per year. Representing the provincial government at the press conference were Family Minister Yolande James and Jacques-Cartier MNA Geoff Kelley who has been involved with WIPCR on a professional and personal level in the past. In 2010, he chaired a committee across Quebec to look at the end-of-life situation. As well, both his parents sojourned at the residence in 2004 and 2008 before passing away.
"The one bed per 10,000 residents ratio is something we recommend at the Quebec government. Nine beds were insufficient for the West Island population and there was an enormous demand for these beds so I think this is a very good news for the community.
Although she did not do a speech at the inauguration ceremony, WIPCR executive director Teresa Dellar shared her excitement through a press communiqué released before the conference started.
"This is a wonderful milestone and a great achievement for everyone involved with WIPCR, especially all our generous donors and volunteers who make everything we do possible," she said. "With this added capacity we will be much more able to meet the great need for quality palliative care services on the West Island, care that is both necessary and essential."
Private donations from the Eric T. Webster Foundation and from Pfizer Canada were also secured by WIPCR. Pfizer has donated $80,000 to maintain five beds.
"What brings us to get involved with this project is the fact that at Pfizer, we believe in making people healthier and we also think it takes more than medication to do that. Through that vision, we make investments like this one. Our experience with WIPCR in the last 12 years started with a starting donation throughout the years, we've been involved both financially and by encouraging our employees to get involved with the residence," said Pfizer Canada vice president of primary care sales and business solutions Allen Van Der Wee who is also chairman of WIPCR's board.
The expanded facility in Pointe Claire will have beds available for up to two weeks at a time for terminally ill patients who are still taken care of at home but whose caregivers need respite. This will give family caregivers more support and enable them to continue to work and reduce the financial strain of a terminal illness.
The Pavilion Stillview will provide access for loved ones of patients to stay the night and will offer fresh meals prepared daily on site by a chef as well as bereavement services.
The addition of the new beds means WIPCR will be able to care for 350 terminally ill people each year making it one of the largest palliative care centres in Canada. Along with the support of government and donors already secured, the additional services will require a further $500,000 each year raised from community donations.

RUSSELL - The Edwards-Knox Central School Board is scheduled to hold an emergency budget workshop tonight after discovering a mathematical budget error that will force the district to find $850,000 worth of spending cuts, according to School Superintendent Suzanne L. Kelly.
Ms. Kelly said in this years budget the district incorrectly recorded $581,000 in revenue that was supposed to be a budget reduction caused by the states gap elimination adjustment.
The error was discovered last week by Business Manager Rebecca Phillips.
Ms. Kelly said several school officials reviewed budget documents and did not notice the error.
There were many people who saw the same document and did not see the error. There were many layers, she said.
As a result, the school board will have to find ways to reduce a projected $850,000 shortfall.
The superintendent said job cuts will likely be considered because the district does not want to deplete the $3.4 million that remains in its reserved and unreserved fund balance.
The school board is scheduled to adopt the 2012-13 budget on April 22.

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) - A Tennessee company that operates a family amusement park in the Smokey Mountains is planning a similar park in Myrtle Beach.
The Sun News of Myrtle Beach reports (http://bit.ly/1s6q6zP ) that the company that operates The Track in Pigeon Forge wants to open a Myrtle Beach location to be operating by the end of 2016.
The proposal calls for an elevated go-cart track, bumper boats, an arcade, a shop and a Ferris wheel. The site is on about 6 acres along Restaurant Row at the north end of Myrtle Beach that the company would lease from the local Shriners.
The Myrtle Beach Planning Commission is holding a public hearing next month on the project.
The Track Family Recreation Center also operates a family amusement park in Destin, Florida.

I saw this infographic shared by a company one of my clients is connected to on the Twitter. They are a company in the building industry and have seen them share this stuff before. The Agency shilling this stuff has their post here
So what is wrong with this infographic? It deceives greatly. The deception? Let's dig in.
Social Media is time consuming.
Lets take Facebook at 405 minutes spent per month. That is 13 minutes a day for the average user. In fact for 20% of users it is much higher and for 80% much lower.
I spent 0-4 minutes per day which allows someone else to spend 22-26mins a day and still average us at 13 minutes. Oh vs. 4hrs of TV per person!
It Helps Business.
Just because a business uses a platform or has an account does not mean it is helping business. In fact I bet 90% of businesses aren't getting much out of Social Media for various reasons.
I recently checked a Facebook page for a big video game company my friend used to run with the help of a very big named Social Media Agency. They have over 1 million fans. (WOW they are a success!).
Uhm in the last week only 514 people engaged with them on their page. (Massive failure)
It influences life offline.
There is zero proof supporting the numbers. They do not compare. Normally a question goes like this:
In the last month (or ever) have you made a purchasing decision influenced by social media? Yes.
They then say:
It is a fact social media is a big influence on your life offline.
Relative to what? I won't say it has no influence but don't inflate the reality.
Their sources:
Other bloggers! Oh now that is a 100% factual source right? People and Social Media businesses that benefit from hype and deception about the reality of social media.
The facts:
Most people use social media in some form today. It is still a very small part of our life. We share but compared to our daily life of events we share very little.
We use it sometimes to get opinions from our networks, which is no different than SMS texting or calling a friend. In fact we are influenced much more by the people offline including strangers we meet than anyone online.
Social Media is great for relationship building and customer service for brands. And it plays a support role in our life these days including for information sharing, discovery and media consumption.
But the over hyping of its role in our lives does everyone a disservice and I call on my peers to please cease and desist so we can have a real and honest representation which will bring out it's true value in our lives.
