Hardin Memorial Hospital is tightening its visitor guidelines in hopes of fostering a better environment for patient safety.
The changes started in December and are being adopted in the wake of new federal guidelines that prohibit hospitals from barring visitors based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability.
While HMH will not deny patients for these reasons, hospital staff is tightening regulations for visitors in situations where a patient's health could be compromised because of surgery or illness.
"The point is to create an environment that is healing," said Michelle Murphy, HMH director of marketing and public relations.
Malinda Ryan, infection control coordinator at HMH, said the changes primarily affect patients who have been placed in isolation because their health is compromised and could be at greater risk for infections and hospital-acquired infections — often triggered by ailing visitors.
As a result, individuals visiting patients in isolation will be required to wear personal protective equipment (PPE), such as masks, gloves and gowns, to reduce the likelihood of germs spreading, Ryan said.
Also, hand sanitizer will be available outside of each patient's room, she said.
To avoid confusion, a brightly colored sign will be placed on each patient's door indicating what type of protective equipment must be worn in the room.
At the same time, the hospital has limited the number of people visiting at one time to two per patient, unless an arrangement has been pre-approved by the patient's nurse, Murphy said.
And children under the age of 12 are prohibited to visit at-risk patients in isolation — a requirement that has expanded to all inpatients. Murphy said children under the age of 12 will only be allowed to visit patients for "therapeutic reasons" if it is pre-arranged by a nurse.
The new requirement, she added, is designed to protect the health of both the patients and children.
"Their immune systems are not fully developed," she said.
Those who are sick or nursing a cough or runny nose also are encouraged to stay home.
"It could potentially be deadly (for the patient)," said Roy Williams III, security manager for HMH.
Murphy said an e-card system developed by HMH is a way to show you're thinking about a patient without subjecting them to more illnesses. The hospital is in the process of installing a kiosk in the cafeteria in which visitors without Internet access can design and send an e-card, she added.
New security measures also are being rolled out, requiring any visitors past 10 p.m. to sign a log at the nurse's desk and receive a visitor's pass.
Williams said the new security requirement will make the hospital safer and provide security with knowledge of the approximate number of people on each floor in case of an emergency.
Murphy, meanwhile, encouraged seeking the counsel of the staff if the new rules prove confusing.
"When in doubt, ask," she said.

Short and simple arguments for why climate can be predicted
It is true that we cannot predict the weather indefinetely (or even beyond a couple of weeks), because of the chaotic nature and infinitesimally small uncertainties in the state as we know to day, will affect how the weather evolves in a few weeks (the 'chaos effect'). But, still I say that I know with certainty that there is a very high probability that the temperature in 6 months will be lower than now – when winter has arrived (it's summer on the northern hemisphere at the present). In fact, the seasonal variation in temperature and rainfall (wet and dry seasons in the tropics) tends to be highly predictable: the winters at high latitudes are cold and summers mild (if anyone doubts, read on here); the southeast Asian Monsoon usually starts over India in the first days of June. I don't usually bring with me maps and figures to social events, but it would be nice to show a picture such as the one in Fig. 1 to illustrate. If the person is not convinced, I may continue with other arguments for why the climate is predictable: take the latitude for instance – the poles are cold and tropics warm. Furthermore, maritime climates at higher latitudes with wet and mild (small day-to-day or season-to-season temperature variations) are distinct to continental climates far away from the sea (dry with great temperature variations). It is well-established that high-altitude places tend to have lower temperatures and greater temperature variations. Most hikers and mountaineers have experienced that. These are local climatic properties that we can predict if we know the geography, even if we cannot predict the weather on an exact day far in the future. To convince further, I may add that empirical evidence suggesting that (local) climate is not unpredictable, but rather systematically influenced by external factors (boundary conditions) is that Northern Europe enjoys a mild climate: Oslo is roughly on the same latitude as the southern tip of Greenland. There is a reason for that – Oslo has a considerably warmer climate because of the effects of oceanic heat transport/capacity and prevailing winds. I also remind that people really have known for centuries that there are systematic factors influencing the local climate, it's just that this fact sometimes gets forgotten by those who claim that we cannot predict climate. Isn't it silly? I may ask if there is any reason to think that the predictability stops at the seasonal and geographical variations.

After Gitmo: Obama Grapples with Preventive Detention, Nov. 11
A life-long human rights advocate, Horton served as counsel to Andrei Sakharov and Elena Bonner, among other activists in the former Soviet Union. He is a co-founder of the American University in Central Asia, and has been involved in some of the most significant foreign investment projects in the Central Eurasian region.
Horton recently led a number of studies of abuse issues associated with the conduct of the war on terror for the New York City Bar Association, where he has chaired several committees, including, most recently, the Committee on International Law. He recently completed a study of the accountability of private security contractors in the war on terror, published as Private Security Contractors at War, and appeared and testified five times before Congress on this and related subjects. He is also a member of the board of the National Institute of Military Justice, the Andrei Sakharov Foundation, the EurasiaGroup and the American Branch of the International Law Association. He is also Contributing Editor of Harper's Magazine and author of the No Comment blog on the magazine's website.
Horton's talk is part of the 2009-10 Speaker Series presented by Wayne Law's Program for International Legal Studies which brings prominent experts in the field to law school campus.
About the Program for International Legal Studies
International law cuts across all aspects of a Wayne State legal education. Fully one-third of Wayne Law's tenured and tenure-track faculty teaches and writes on international subjects. Those faculty members enjoy world-wide reputations as innovative and prolific scholars, publishing on the most important issues of the day. Students can take classes on a remarkable range of international topics, from international commercial transactions to international environmental law to the use of military force and the protection of human rights. And study abroad programs give students a first-hand view of other nations' legal systems and their approaches to legal education.
The Program for International Legal Studies is the focal point for all international activity at Wayne Law and a showcase for the faculty's latest scholarship on international issues. The Program sponsors a conference and lecture series that brings scholars, policy-makers and practicing international lawyers to the Law School from across the country and around the world. A series of brown-bag lunches allow students the opportunity to discuss international issues in a more personalized setting with faculty members and attorneys from the community. A blog in which faculty members highlight and discuss current developments in international law will be hosted on our Web site.
Director Gregory Fox writes and teaches on international organizations, human rights and the international administration of territory. He has been a visiting fellow at Cambridge University, the Max Planck Institute in Heidelberg and Yale Law School.

I say "remember" because I know this in non-dance areas of my life. Somehow, because I was an adult dance student I felt inadequate in the beginning (several years ago) in a dance world where one's social position is determined by one's skill, not by who one is in other areas of one's life. I forgot that I had learned a lot in other areas in my life and could apply it in dance as well.
Later, I realised my mistake. I found that I had been expecting more from my teacher than he was able to give me. Teachers each have different strengths, weaknesses, preferences and values. In my continuing role as student, I feel that it is my responsibilty to realise something of what my teacher is best at and hire them to do the things that will help me the most. But, I have to say, I didn't know this in the beginning. And now that I am teaching sometimes, I have more perspective on being a student. I know that my style and process is a certain way and not all students will like or benefit from learning that way. Sometimes I encourage them to find another teacher who will be more compatible with their needs.
Having known many teachers, I would not say their ability to train you is based upon whether or not they currently compete or have a lot of students who currently compete. I think it has more to do with their style of teaching. Of course there may be political considerations in the competition where studying with a particular teacher gives one an advantage in the ratings. But that is another subject that I am not qualified to tell you the impact of.
What I had to do for myself was to figure out what I needed and expected. Then I had to look for someone who could teach me in the way that I needed to be taught. The process is important to me and so I looked for a teacher who had a process that worked for me.
Also, I have studied from more than one teacher, because sometimes different one's have different things I need. I have never found one person who had it all. However, it doesn't hurt to do this sequentially, rather than consecutively. Too much at once may not be a good idea either. It depends upon how you learn.
If you like to supplement your study with video instruction, you may want to check out http://www.dancevision.com. I have found studying videos to be very helpful. It is not a substitute for private instruction, but it has it's own benefits. It allows one to replay a step over and over and study it intensely. I made charts off of the videos that detailed things like foot position, weight, hand position, lead, timing, etc. This helped me understand the dance much better. Sometimes, my teachers did not approach the dance this way and could not tell me all the things I wanted to know within the scope of a lesson. At $55 plus dollars and hour, I like to be focused on what I need the teacher for most.

Guggenheim BulletShares 2025 Corporate Bond ETF* (BSCP) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the fund's fees and expenses, of an investment-grade corporate bond index called the NASDAQ BulletShares® USD Corporate Bond 2025 Index.
†The Fund has a designated year of maturity of 2025 and will terminate on or about December 31, 2025. In connection with such termination, the Fund will make a cash distribution to then-current shareholders of its net assets after making appropriate provisions for any liabilities of the Fund. The Fund does not seek to return any predetermined amount at maturity. In the final twelve months of operation, as the bonds held by the Fund mature, the Fund's portfolio will transition to cash and cash equivalents, including without limitation U.S.Treasury Bills and investment grade commercial paper, which may result in a lower yield than the yields of the bonds previously held by the Fund and/or prevailing yields for bonds in the market. The Fund will terminate on or about the date above without requiring additional approval by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") or Fund shareholders. The Board may change the termination date to an earlier or later date if a majority of the Board determines the change to be in the best interest of the Fund.
as of 3/31/17
††Source: BlackRock Solutions. The fund credit quality ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). All securities except for those labeled "Not Rated" (NR) or "Other Fixed Income" have been rated by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization ("NRSRO"). For purposes of this presentation, when ratings are available from more than one NRSRO, the highest rating is used. Guggenheim Investments converts ratings to the equivalent S&P rating.
as of 3/31/17
DATA SOURCE: Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC., Factset or Morningstar. Data and fund characteristics are as of most recent quarter-end and are subject to change on a daily basis and represent a percentage of the fund's holdings, excluding cash. The securities mentioned are provided for informational purposes only and should not be deemed as a recommendation to buy or sell.
The expense ratio is expressed as a unitary fee and covers all expenses of the Fund, except for the fee payments under the investment advisory agreement, distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses.
The gross expense ratio reflects the fund's actual total annual operating expense ratio, gross of any fee waivers or expense reimbursements as of its most recent prospectus.
1Shareholders may pay more than net asset value when they buy shares of an ETF and receive less than net asset value when they sell those shares, because shares are bought and sold at current market prices.
NAV is the price per share at which each Fund issues and redeems shares. The net asset value per share for each Fund is determined once daily as of the close of the listing exchange, usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, each day the listing exchange is open for trading. NAV per share is determined by dividing the value of the Fund's portfolio securities, cash and other assets (including accrued interest), less all liabilities (including accrued expenses), by the total number of shares outstanding.
In general, market price represents what the fund is trading at.
The closing price is the price of the last reported trade on any exchange on which the Fund trades before the market closes, usually at 4 pm Eastern time.
The bid/ask midpoint is the midpoint of the highest bid and lowest offer on the listing exchange at the time that the NAV is calculated, usually 4 pm Eastern time.
The premium/discount is the amount the Fund is trading higher ("premium") or lower ("discount") to its NAV, expressed as a percentage of its bid/ask midpoint to its NAV. A positive number indicates it's trading at premium and a negative number indicates it's trading at a discount.
The NASDAQ Bulletshares® USD Corporate Bond 2025 Index is designed to represent the performance of a held-to-maturity portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated investment-grade corporate bonds with effective maturities in the year 2025.
as of 6/27/17
P/E ratio is a harmonic weighted average and is equal to a security's market capitalization divided by it after-tax earnings over the most recent 12-month period.
P/B ratio is a harmonic weighted average and is equal to a security's market capitalization divided by its book value.
Alpha is a statistical measurement that depicts the performance difference between a fund's return and an underlying performance benchmark, given a fund's level of volatility, measured by beta. The benchmark will always reflect an alpha of 0.00%. A positive alpha indicates a fund has performed better than its beta would predict in the stated period.
Beta is the measure of a fund's sensitivity to an index. By definition, the beta of an index is 1.00. Any fund with a higher beta is more volatile than the index. Likewise, any portfolio with a lower beta will be less volatile than the index in the stated period.
Standard deviation is a measure of historical volatility that indicates the degree to which an investment's returns fluctuate around its average return. Generally, a higher standard deviation indicates a more risky investment.
Average market capitalization is the geometric mean of the market capitalization s for all securities in a fund's portfolio.
Weighted average coupon is calculated by weighting each bond's coupon by its relative size in the portfolio.
Weighted average bond price is a weighted average of individual bond prices.
Weighted average option-adjusted duration is a weighted average which measures the sensitivity of the price (the value of principal), incorporating the expected duration-shortening effect of an embedded call provision, of a fixed-income investment to a change in interest rates. The larger the duration number, the greater the interest-rate risk for bond prices.
Average maturity is the length of time until the principal amount of a bond must be repaid.
Average effective duration measures the sensitivity of the price (value of principal) of a fixed income investment to a change in interest rates. The larger the duration number, the greater the interest rate risk for bond prices.
There are no Distributions to display.

Investors should consider the following risk factors and special considerations associated with investing in the fund, which may cause you to lose money, including the entire principal amount that you invest.
Investment Risk. An investment in the Fund is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest.
Interest Rate Risk: As interest rates rise, the value of fixed-income securities held by the fund is likely to decrease. Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes, making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations.
Credit/Default Risk: Issuers or guarantors of debt instruments or the counterparty to a repurchase agreement or loan of portfolio securities may be unable or unwilling to make timely interest and/or principal payments or otherwise honor their obligations. Debt instruments are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which may be reflected in credit ratings. Securities issued by the U.S. government generally have less credit risk than debt securities of non-government issuers. However, securities issued by certain U.S. government agencies are not necessarily backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Credit rating downgrades and defaults (failure to make interest or principal payment) may potentially reduce the fund's income and share price.
Asset Class Risk: The bonds in the fund's portfolio may underperform the returns of other bonds or indexes that track other industries, markets, asset classes or sectors.
Call Risk/Prepayment Risk: During periods of falling interest rates, an issuer of a callable bond may exercise its right to pay principal on an obligation earlier than expected. This may result in the fund's having to reinvest proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the fund's income.
Extension Risk: An issuer may exercise its right to pay principal on an obligation later than expected. This may happen when there is a rise in interest rates. Under these circumstances, the value of the obligation will decrease and the fund's performance may suffer from its inability to invest in higher yielding securities.
Income Risk: Falling interest rates may cause the fund's income to decline.
Liquidity Risk: If the fund invests in illiquid securities or securities that become illiquid, fund returns may be reduced because the fund may be unable to sell the illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.
Declining Yield Risk: During the final year of the fund's operations, as the bonds held by the fund mature and the fund's portfolio transitions to cash and cash equivalents, the fund's yield will generally tend to move toward the yield of cash and cash equivalents and thus may be lower than the yields of the bonds previously held by the fund and/or prevailing yields for bonds in the market.
Fluctuation of Yield and Liquidation Amount Risk: The fund, unlike a direct investment in a bond that has a level coupon payment and a fixed payment at maturity, will make distributions of income that vary over time. Unlike a direct investment in bonds, the breakdown of returns between fund distributions and liquidation proceeds are not predictable at the time of your investment. For example, at times during the fund's existence, it may make distributions at a greater (or lesser) rate than the coupon payments received on the fund's portfolio, which will result in the fund returning a lesser (or greater) amount on liquidation than would otherwise be the case. The rate of fund distribution payments may adversely affect the tax characterization of your returns from an investment in the fund relative to a direct investment in corporate bonds. If the amount you receive as liquidation proceeds upon the fund's termination is higher or lower than your cost basis, you may experience a gain or loss for tax purposes.
Financial Services Sector Risk: The financial services industries are subject to extensive government regulation, can be subject to relatively rapid change due to increasingly blurred distinctions between service segments, and can be significantly affected by availability and cost of capital funds, changes in interest rates, the rate of corporate and consumer debt defaults, and price competition.
Concentration Risk: If the Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries the Fund's investments will be concentrated accordingly. In such event, the value of the Fund's shares may rise and fall more than the value of shares of a fund that invests securities of companies in a broader range of industries.
In addition the Fund is subject to: Non-Correlation Risk ,Passive Management Risk, Issuer-Specific Changes, Risk of Cash Transactions and Non-Diversified Fund Risk.
Please read the Fund's prospectus for more detailed information on these risks and considerations. As with any investment, you should consider how your investment will be taxed. The tax information contained in the prospectus is provided as general information. Investors should consult their own tax professional about the tax consequences of an investment as Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC does not offer tax advice.
The Fund's Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund. The Fund may not achieve its investment objective. An investment in the Fund has not been guaranteed, sponsored, recommended, or approved by the United States, or any agency, instrumentality or officer of the United States, has not been insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and is not guaranteed by and is not otherwise an obligation of any bank or insured depository institution.
The Fund will issue and redeem Shares at NAV only in a large specified number of Shares called a "Creation Unit" or multiples thereof. A Creation Unit consists of 150,000 Shares. The Fund generally issues and redeems Creation Units principally in-kind. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund. Individual Shares of the Fund may only be purchased and sold in secondary market transactions through brokers. Shares of the Fund will be listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. ("NYSE Arca") and because Shares will trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares of the Fund may trade at a price greater than or less than NAV.
Investors buying or selling ETF shares on the secondary market may incur brokerage costs and other transactional fees. Shares of ETFs may fluctuate in price due to daily changes in trading volume. At times, shares may not have a high volume of trading.

My hummingbird transducer states it can be mounted with slow two part epoxy, inside on the hull.
My question, it does not state to or not to mount it inside on aluminum?
Realize some of the function won't work ( water temp ) but I would trade that for mounting inside if it will read depth!
Will it work thru aluminum ?

Re: Wet plywood deck core - how to dry?
Which means, no that wouldn't do it--you need a core. That way you've got an I beam in all directions.
Re: Wet plywood deck core - how to dry?
The best way to understand it is the outer skin, core and inner skin form a really strong I-BEAM in a very thin space
If you don't have one of the three the beam bends pretty easy
Re: Wet plywood deck core - how to dry?
Hi I have a swanson 27 with the same core problem.
I would like to see if there is anything wrong with pulling all the inside fibreglass skin off, removing the the core and just replacing it with supporting arches/ribs made of wood or fibreglass ? Seems like less work and I would not have this problem again ?
|Very nice job on the deck repair. I agree that the best solution is to re-core and appologise to anyone that took my previous comment to be a better way to fix. I submitted it only as a less expensive alternative and not a long term solution.
Recore the really wet spots. If it's just damp don't worry about it. Mine was leaking water through it when it rained. I decided it was time I did something about it. The length of this was over 6' and the width was probably 2'. Need to do the foredeck and portside at some point. After I faired it and painted the inside, it looked like a new boat.
|If I was ripping out wet wood, especially in a non-racing boat, I would re-build with Fab-Mat (heavy fiberglass mat) and epoxy. It will never trouble you again. I also suggest checking out my microballoons and epoxy filler job on our rudder in my gallery on this site. http://www.sailnet.com/photogallery/...er/159746/sl/n I filled and faired the thing and hauled it to my marina shop to have the skin vacuum bagged. Torresen's guys looked at it, thumped it and remarked it would never give us any trouble ever again. The filler has a yield of 3000 psi, its extremely light and totally waterproof. With skin bonded to it, it will out-live the hull. Epoxy and foller from Fiberglass , Epoxy , Composites, Carbon Fiber - U.S. Composites, Inc. makes it affordable.
|Yes as you go along you will get 20 answers from any ten people on any subject and all of them different. Enjoy the yards, I always found them fascinating and instructional. Look to see if you can find any other boats like yours and then talk to the owners about what they are doing and why. One thing that will happen to you over time is you will start asking people you trust for advise and then decide what you are going to do yourself. When that happens then you will be a real boater. Took me about five years to understand that I knew as much as anyone else. Then another five to understand what I didn't know and who to trust for the best answer. Project boats are the ones you will always remember as those are the ones you learn from. Best to you and enjoy.
Wow, a lot of strong sentiments regarding this subject. We have peeled away the inner fiberglass laminate to reveal all of the plywood core in the problem area. When we checked on it yesterday it was nearly dry, though as it dried we were more clearly able to see that some sections of the plywood had rotted (as many of you suspected). So we will be cutting out the affected area (1.5' x 2.5') and replacing it with new plywood. I know plywood perhaps isn't the ideal core material, but the area requires a very rigid material for supports, and I don't want to use different core materials side by side.
Since we were given the boat "free of charge" (in quotes, because of course we paid for registration, insurance, launching, dock space, storage, etc.), I'm completely happy to spend my time and money working on it. I still feel like I got a bargain, even after sinking $2000 into various projects thus far. It's certainly a "project" boat, but we are having fun with her and it's been a great learning experience, and we didn't have to take out a loan to make it happen. And when I look around the boat yard, I see plenty of younger boats that are busy being worked on as well.
I'm a novice at all this, but I figured getting into it that when you purchase an object that spends most of it's time floating in water, with extreme forces applied to it on a regular basis, and that said object provides shelter and safety for those aboard, I counted on the fact that maintenance would be chronic and ongoing. So far I haven't been disappointed by this assumption
Foam just changes the problems that you will have. While foam core materials are not subject to rot, they do allow water to migrate and delaminate far greater sections of the deck in a short period of time than does balsa. Plywood has the worst characteristics of both foamallowing water to migrate long distancesand balsarotting. It is also the worst material in terms of weight.
Originally Posted by NCC320 View Post

It seems like it turns a "bargain" into a nightmare. You spend lots of hours, money, stress to try to fix the problem, and for most of us, it would look horrible when we finish. Maybe, smaller/newer vs. older/larger boat when shopping for a boat would make sense to minimize these problems.
That said, why do the manuafacturers continue to use plywood and balsa? In the old days, the alternatives were few, but today there are lots of "none deteriorating in presence of water" alternatives. Most foams don't seem to behorribly expensive.
Also, unless it's too bad, maybe the solution is don't worry about it. You bought a boat with some problems, use it and enjoy it. The core problems will get worse and you'll have to discount the boat a bit more when you sell it (owning boats also always is a costly situation).
I'd point out that GITROT does nothing to drive out the previous moisture, and will not work at all if the wood is wet, since the water in te wet wood will interfere with it curing properly. Also, filler does not weaken the epoxy. If it really did so, why do all the guides on boat building recommend using filled epoxy for STRENGTH???
From the directions for use:
Boatlife Git Rot pours into the finest openings, penetrates, and saturates rotten wood. GIT Rot cures into a resilient adhesive, which arrests dry rot by bonding wood membranes together with a mass stronger than the original wood. 2 Part Kits.
Use on dried out, rotted, and weathered wood, Also excellent for window sashes, gutters, boat stringers, transoms and keels.
What part of DRIED OUT and DRY ROT do you not understand. I really hate when people recommend something that is not going to work and cost the OP money that is better spent elsewhere.

If you know where the wet is you can drill small holes into the affected area usually 3" apart and inject the Git Rot. There are probably other products on the market by now as the last time I used this stuff was year 2000. By the way do not drill all the way through just into the core. After you are done fill the holes with epoxy with no filler as the filler weakens the epoxy.The holes should be only big enough to insert a syringe so if you know someone at a hospital get one with a needle.

Carolina's trip to Virginia on Sunday night (8 p.m. on ESPNU, with the Tar Heel Sports Network on the air at 7 p.m.) marks the first Atlantic Coast Conference competition for a freshman quartet that has played an important role this year. They're about to encounter even more difficult circumstances than they've faced before, as league opponents will scout and re-scout the Tar Heels, forcing the rookies to make adjustments even as they play through some of the toughest opponents of the season.
Early returns, however, suggest the Carolina youngsters are capable of making a few adjustments of their own. Here's a look at the progress of the Tar Heel freshmen.
Brice Johnson
The South Carolina native was the early surprise of the Carolina freshman class, scoring double figures in two of his first three college games. He was recently cited by stats maven Ken Pomeroy as one of the nation's most productive seventh men, and he continues to score at a high rate--Johnson's eight double-digit scoring performances are tied with notable volume scorer P.J. Hairston for third on the roster--and efficiently (Johnson's 63.2% field goal accuracy mark leads the team).
But as Tar Heel fans have repeatedly observed, Johnson's scoring numbers haven't necessarily translated into minutes. He's started just two games, the fewest of the James/Desmond Hubert/Johnson big man trio. He's played exactly the same number of minutes as James.
Williams has been very clear on what Johnson needs to do to earn more playing time. Just before he reinserted the freshman into the UNLV game with under six minutes remaining, the head coach crouched in front of Johnson, put his hands on the big man's knees, and gave him one very simple, very pointed message.
"He told me to run," Johnson said. "Stop jogging. He said he'd showed me on the tape that there were times I was jogging, and now I needed to run. He's showing me that I can't take off even one play."
Johnson could be especially valuable in Sunday's ACC opener, as he's one of the very few Tar Heels shooting better from the field on the road (he's hitting 66.7% of his shots in Carolina's true road games).
Marcus Paige
This is Paige before the Christmas break, discussing adjustments Roy Williams had asked him to make in a pre-holiday meeting:
"(Coach Williams) wants us to run the system but also to be who we are. He gives us certain secondary (break) options, and sometimes I tried to focus too much on running those exactly. If I see an opening, the ultimate goal is to score a basket. That gave me confidence to divert from the exact pattern of the play and make a play."
And this is Paige after the UNLV game, explaining how he saw the window that led him to a clutch hoop against the then-No. 20 Rebels with six minutes remaining:
"The way they were playing the pick and roll, the guard would jump the high side and not let you use it," he said. "So I saw the lane and attacked...When the shot clock runs low, you have to make a play. If the ball is in my hands with 10 to 12 seconds left, I'm supposed to be able to create a shot for my teammates or get to the free throw line. The defense didn't help over, so I was able to score the basketball."
When you hear discussion of players beginning to grasp the college game, that kind of ability to recognize and adjust on the fly is what they're talking about.
Paige has quietly played very well lately. He has just two turnovers in his last 59 minutes and is averaging just one turnover every 14.8 minutes since sitting out the UAB game with a shoulder injury. Prior to that game, he was committing a turnover every 8.2 minutes played.
That doesn't mean, though, that he's completely conquered every aspect of being a college point guard. He was called for a foul on a three-point shooter late in the UNLV game, and then let the foul carry over and distract him in the following minutes.
"It messed with my focus in the huddle," Paige said. "I was supposed to run an inbounds play and I forgot part of the inbounds play because I was too worried about the foul. It funked me out a little."
Next up for Paige: he needs to control a game on the road the same way he has lately at home. He has 22 assists and 17 turnovers in six games away from the Smith Center, as compared to 30 assists and 13 turnovers in six home games.
Tokoto has had the most classical freshman Tar Heel experience. There are times it looks like he's about to fall out of the rotation--he played just 15 combined minutes against Florida Atlantic and Long Beach--but also times when he has looked to be an essential cog.
It's been the latter lately, as he's played double-digit minutes in five straight games, and has grabbed at least one offensive rebound in all five of them. For a player who Williams has said "has a chance to be the best offensive rebounder I've coached here," and on a team where rebounding is a need, that's a key contribution.
Notably, he's also earning second-half minutes (five against UNLV), a sure sign that he's gaining some trust. Tokoto is in an interesting spot. He's played the fewest minutes of any freshman, and he plays a position where the Tar Heels have significant depth. But the assets he possesses are different than the other players competing for playing time. If he can continue to contribute in short bursts, he has an opportunity to build a meaningful role.
Here's a tricky one. James's minutes have decreased lately-after averaging 21.8 minutes in Carolina's first four games, he's averaged just seven minutes in the Tar Heels' last four contests. In that stretch, he's 2-for-6 from the field and has almost as many turnovers (6) as rebounds (7).
But no matter how much he goes through the normal freshman struggles, he's still struggling while being 6-foot-10, 260 pounds. It's pretty simple. If he can hold on to the ball, James brings a needed presence to this year's post-thin rotation. But even though his potential is obvious, and you get the feeling we're going to laugh about this difficult stretch in a couple years, this year's Tar Heels can't afford to give very many possessions away.
Adam Lucas is the publisher of Tar Heel Monthly and the author or co-author of seven books on the Tar Heels.

Remember the days when no one would deal with Joe cause he was working people so shaftty ?
Joe realized that he needs to make a couple high profile blunders so that other GM's will let their guard down again.
lol I'm not sure Joe's smart enough for that.
Now do you see what a brilliant plan it was?
What about my word "shaftty" ? - I still stumpped about the Curry sham.
I liked shafty.
Nothing you do to the English language surprises me anymore.
It's a liberal science.
shafty - /SHAF-tee/; a shifty maneuver conducted by a NBA General Manager that results in another team aquiring "the shaft".
btw...great avatar
You know this GM must happy that Joe Dumars gift wrapped Melo to him.
I remember at the time of the draft he couldn't stop grinning for a week.

Skidded Turns vs. Carving
So I spent three days near a mountain here and it was only the second trip I've made to the mountain so far. I went once the week before (for only one day) and attempted a simple green run, only to spend the whole time on my heel edge. It was pretty pathetic >__<
Luckily, these three days I managed to get some amazing teachers (I took an hour and a half lesson each day) and by the first day I was linking turns down the blues. On the second day, I was making the whole motion more "fluid". I would go down on my heel edge, slow myself down a bit by getting a bit more perpendicular to the hill, and change into my toe edge. Then I'd do the same, slowing down and going back to my heel edge. I started getting it a bit better to the point where I could get myself to slow down in a less "extreme" way (less perpendicular to the hill).
It felt good so I'm guessing it was good, and my brother said he saw me from a lift and said I looked like a guy who we were with the week before who had been snowboarding for years and years. So I'm guessing that's a good sign :)
But on the third day, I got a lesson where the person I was with told me the turns I was making were called skidded turns. He said they weren't bad, but he wanted to teach me to carve. He didn't explain it very well and I'm still not sure what the difference is between skidded turns and carving. After listening to him for that hour and a half I basically took from the lesson that carving is going across the hill without slowing myself down (like I did in my skidded turns) and that the tail always has to follow the nose (so skidding ruins that pattern because the tail is no longer in line with the nose).
So I kind of got better at it, but I'm still not so comfortable with it, and the worst part is, I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. I'm afraid to go so fast because... it just feels so wrong. I guess that feeling will go away in time.
I was watching a video of a skidded turn earlier to see how I could improve and move into carving, and so I watched Snow Wolf's video here YouTube - Dynamic Skidded Turns
In the first 40 seconds he makes skidded turns down the hill, apparently. But those look like carves to me. Do I have the wrong idea of what carving is, then? The tail follows the nose in his turns and I don't see skidding, so am I wrong or is the video wrong? I'm thinking that I'm wrong, because Snow Wolf knows his stuff.
Basically what I need is an explanation of what carving is and any tips on moving from skidded turns into carving.
Carving is def something that takes a lot of practice. I ride pretty much only park so I really don't have an edge on my board and I just skid around everywhere. I got my misfit sharpened and ready for some big mountain ripping but found my edges grip so tight my body doesn't really know what's going on. I'm not sure if I really want to spend any time out of the park so I probably won't be learning this stuff anytime soon. But it makes me look at true carving with a new perspective for sure.
Carving is like riding a rollercoaster. When you cut a good carve, you should feel your legs burn and it feels like you weight 3 times more.
Carving board with a skidding body, damn Euros:D. Killer edge angle.
this is a good thread because i had the same questions!
i was quite proud of myself when, by my 4th or 5th time on the mountain my boyfriend said i was getting pretty good at carving.
but i'm not entirely sure i'm doing the true definition of carving.. i've seen comments float around about how people think they're carving but they're really not, and i guess that's me.
though i'm still a beginner i can make it down the greens and blues pretty decently i just don't know if i'm making the proper fluent motion down the hill :dunno:
It's easy to tell if you are carving. If you look back up the hill at your track, do you see a line thinner than the width of your board or one that is wider? If you are truly carving your track won't be wider than the boards width.
haha nice video.
I have yet to see someone carve like that. I think its funny that its a groomer tho.. if I were dreaming about extreame carving I wouldn't be dreaming about groomers.
Snowolf yours is nice too :)
It takes a lot of leg power, balance and form to do what that video is doing (even with the right equipment) but if you look at his trail in the slo mos, you can see that it's a thin line. He doesn't "skid" his snowboard. At high enough G's in a high speed turn, the sidecut as well as the board bends making it sort of like a U-shaped ice skate. This cuts into the snow and digs a little track for this U-skate to ride along. He doesn't throw that much snow for his speed because the only snow comming out of the ground is from that tip digging out a thin "slot" along the path. If it was a skid at that speed, it would look like a tidal wave. Good carvers also end their turn by "boosting" themselves into the next turn when the board "snaps back" like a spring. It's supposed to be possible to gain speed this way and is a method racers try to perfect.
Anyways, more down to earth, you can carve bigger raduis turns without laying on the ground like them. You just have to be wary not to skid. The more you skid, the louder your boarding is because you're scraping the snow. So you can listen to yourself as you ride and can tell when you are carving by that if you don't want to stop and look up.
If you want to get "closest" to that video without hardbooting, you can use a more "forward" stance so you can square up your shoulders almost like you're facing forward like those dudes. When I was into it, I did 30 15 (or 45 30, I forget) and I had a directional sort of stiff board which helps. Then you can pretty much lean more or so "left and right" and it will turn by itself if you balance correctly. At some cases I was able to go sightly "uphill" before transitioning to a new turn too...but you have to go fast and if you slip, you might just fly into the trees in the side. :p
I've never seen that. Are you saying you can do it?

text: I do carry the PM45 in Jeans using a Remora holster. The remora holster masks the gun and yet allows it to be drawn with the holster staying in the pocket. Re-holster is not quite as easy. Drawing the weapon requires just a little bit of practice as instead of pulling straight up and out, it needs to be tilted forward just a bit and bring the butt end out first. Is why I personally chose the PM over the P model. I have too big a spare tire around the middle to comfortably carry anywhere on waist. Cargo jeans work great also. A vest EVERYDAY was just not practical.

Jillian Michaels (born 18 February, 1974) is a fitness expert who gained prominence as a trainer on the NBC weight-loss reality series ''The Biggest Loser'' (USA). Michaels was the trainer for the red team until 2006, when she was replaced by Kim Lyons. She returned in 2007 as the black team coach, competing against Kim's red team and Bob Harper's blue team. Kim decided not to return for the spring 2008 season, leaving Jillian as the only female trainer. Along with Bob Harper, Jillian is also a trainer in the Australian version of the show. She began her career in exercise because she was considerably overweight before her teenage years (though not as much as the contestants she whips into shape now). As a young adult, her mother enrolled her in a martial arts class, which was a new beginning for Jillian. Thereafter she dedicated herself to helping the overweight transform their lives and their bodies for the better.

I just got into fitness and exercise about 2 months ago, I use a lot of Jillian's workout dvd's( shred it in 30 days, yoga, and my FAVORITE shred it with weights) I can't afford to run out and buy all the new stuff but I've found you can use household objects in place of weights and I'm seeing major results. Thank you Jillian and all you do :)

It truly sadden me to find, out jillian will be leaving the show. Jillian and Bob started this show. I'm one of jillian, biggest fans. I wanted to, sign up for the show. Now, I've had a change of heart. the show won't be the same once , she's gone. It's like watching American idol, once Simon left, some of the show ratings have went down. Jillian has inspired me to motivate myself. I frequently go on her website. I just don't know. I may not watch the show anymore after, this season. I will continue to strive and lose my weight on my own. Bob, hang in there. Jillian u will be missed. Thank you for hearing me out.

I have been watching the biggest loser since it first came on.I love it and hope one day I can meet Jullian and Bob.Thank God for kind hearted people like you.
Awesome!!!! Love, Love Love!!!
face it all. losing weight thru any name, tv, or show... all about the money.
Jenny craig, weight watcher, etc.. If you can't buy it, you can't lose it!! I wrote them all. We are one income family. Kids are grown, but we took in our Grandchildren. Their needs come first, thus why I began writing for help. Motivation number one need. but its a pkg. thing. you need it all, the time, the motivation,the money,the right foods, exercise, and of course the one sponsor help support. I am trying this again, alone, trying to keep positive. wishing you all fu=ind your help. I'm tired of the people with money, or looks, or a name, being the ones to look and feel good bout themselves. I'm a damn good woman,wife,mother,grandmother,friend,sister, and human being.
I signed up for this program for the meal planning, but found out when I paid the $54 subscription that it DOES NOT offer meal planning for vegetarians.
I contacted the company, and they refused to refund my money.
Also, the $54 3-month subscription DOES NOT include personalized training, as their website implies. You have to pay an additional weekly fee to access that feature.
I'm sorry, but, I have to cancel my membership before it starts. I find that I cannot keep this membership because being on a fixed income ,SS, I can not afford the $ 60.00 every 3 months. Please cancel my membership. Thank You.
I am starting a combinantion. I have been on the south beach diet for 4 months and lost 30 pounds. Now I am on a stand still. So I combined the powerwalk and cardio max weight loss dvd and the south beach diet; I lost 7 pounds in two weeks. Even though I have 65 more pounds to go I am more motivated than ever. I was very sore all over cuz I was using muscles I wasn't using before. Without those dvd's I feel I will still be struggling. Thank you.
Used the 30 day shred for the first time yesterday. I like it. I can see how so many people have had great results. She pushes you hard but she talks you through it

text: My guess is that's not a concern. Like most teen idols, sooner than later he's going to want his image to grow up, and I think his increasingly public relationship with Selena is part of that. I don't think he's going for the full bad boy, but I do think he wants his fans to let him grow up at some point. I think the first is far more likely. The idea of "picking girls out to meet Justin" is actually part of the way they do the shows - there's one song where they pick a girl from the audience to sit on stage while Justin sings to her, and they also regularly move people up from the bad seats, or hand out good tickets to people before the shows start. In other words, it's believable that this woman could have been invited backstage, but frankly not to pop Justin's cherry. I mean seriously - if such a service was actually required (!), there would be literally millions of potential candidates, and the venue would likely not be an arena bathroom. Similarly, the woman's story that he told her it was his first time is either just wishful thinking on her part, or a line from a guy who's used it more than once. From what I can tell, Justin has a really solid core group of people around him who have been with him from the start. Surely they would have schooled him on the dangers of golddigging groupies, safe sex etc - and he's not a choirboy on his own either, even if looks like one. He'd know all this stuff himself I think. It would be easy enough to do a DNA test to disprove this, but at the same time, I wonder if they will refuse or at least fight it - if he wants to protect his privacy, I would think that would include not making his DNA available to any girl that makes an accusation.

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?
Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed.
For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
Some names chosen by the kids over the years. (Dogs)Irie, Scout, Paige, Kelsie, Ollie, Amy, Sophie, Daisy, (Cat) Melody (Mel Mel) (Ferret) Prudence (Bird) Pretty Boy Blue. Then there are the fish, box turtles, ducks, chickens, tadpoles, dragons, etc, etc, etc.
White Shih-tzu named Noodle and black Shih-tzu named Waffle.
Kids were 17 and 10 at the time.
umm what pets?
Really shouldn't have let Troy name the pet "Annie's Boobs".
In practicality, name your pet something rude so when you yell an obscenity when you are angry, they end up coming to you instead of running away.
No kids.
My first dog was Lucy.
We now have Zipper and Noodles.
She named the first, me the second.
My daughter named her dog Aggie after the Texas A&M mascot. That is where she had been accepted and wanted to go to college. Then Texas State sent her acceptance, and Alex went there. Her boyfriend kept telling her to name the dog Bob Cat after the TXSTATE mascot, but Aggie it still is.
I let my daughter name the pets. She named the fish Sally, Preston, Mac, and Goldie. Only Mac and Goldie are still alive. She named the dog Lily. The dog had been named Brittany when we got her, but there was no way I was going to keep that name. Our cat came already named Lincoln, and she decided to leave it that.
My son got a cat when he was 5. He named it Cleo.
I actually ask his advice on names any time we need a name for something- a game character, story character etc.
Our cat is Sylvia and my then 7 year old named her. She was his rescue cat so he chose the name. It suits her too! He even gave her a middle name. Sylvia Misty
Our half-poodle/half-chihuahua - Chopper Dale Alexander
Our terrier of some kind - Ty Chibbi Speers-Alexander
Our German Shepard mix - Abby Gail Alexander
Our 8 week old Pit/Boxer mix - Dexter Pooppy Alexander
Our Russian Blue Cat - Nala "The Queen B" Alexander
With the exception of Chopper, all our babies are rescues. This is what happens when a mother starts going through "empty nest" syndrome before the kids move out .... alas my oldest moved out 2 weeks ago and my youngest has 2 years to go. No telling home may we will have by then lol
In our house, so far, the pets essentially are the kids. I only wish I could have chosen the names to more of our pets.
We adopted a dog from the SPCA. His name was Boomer. Our kiddo extended it to Boomerang - said that way he would always come back. Awww...
My cat earned the name "Stinky". Found him when he was a kitten downtown on Halloween night about 8 years ago. Poor guy had an intesinal virus that took about 2 weeks to clear up but since then he was forever known as Stinky
How about we murdered out pets years ago?
Volunteer Moderator
We had unnamed fish and gerbils when the kids were kids.
We ended up with a rat named Splinter and a cat named Scratchy.
The cat named Scratchy lived with his friends cat in college, named Itchy.
Maybe I should have had him watch less TV.
I believe in my child. My pet's name is Bobo. He named a good name.
When I was little I found a small orange kitten who grew into a huge cat. I called it Muffy and that stuck even after we found out he was a boy.
My friend's son named his cat John when he was about four or so.

Editor's Note: In this great city of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year--so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around the Windy City. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know!
Yes, the place is called Da Lobsta. No, it's not a joke. I can even picture JFK saying "Da Lobsta" in my head in a cartoonish voice. And all Da Lobsta serves are... pork chop sandwiches. Just kidding, they serve a mean lobster roll ($12.95) on a traditional split-top New England style bun.
Their version is lightly tossed in tarragon mayo and garlic butter, which I was initially afraid would overpower the delicate shellfish, but the dressing is so light that all you taste is the beautiful lobster. The tiny dusting of celery salt on top adds a slight concentrated grassy flavor. To ensure you get all the bits of meat, they top the roll with the spongy knuckle and claw meat in their entirety, which is a nice detail. The bun is grilled on both sides, with a bit too much butter, making each bite a bit greasy. But when lobster is involved, I'll forgive almost anything. We can officially add this one to the list, and at $12.95, the price is just right.

Keep supplemental food over the center of the cluster and Insulate.
The important question has to be... "What is the size of the winter cluster?" If the diameter is more than 8 inches then my design is too shallow.
Question: Top Bar Hives were developed in Africa right? So it's a tropical hive?Answer: Actually they were developed in Greece thousands of years ago, and then used in many other places. But the real concern seems to be that there is a belief that bees won't move horizontally. Obviously this is not true. I've seen hives in hollow horizontal branches, I've seen them in floors, and I've overwintered them in Horizontal hives, both TBHs and Langstroth frame hives. Bees do tend to only move in one direction when clustered and have trouble changing direction in a cluster in the cold. But they don't seem to care if that direction is horizontal or vertical. Trough hives (chest hives, or whatever else you wish to call a horizontal hive) have been kept in Scandinavian countries for centuries. According to Eva Crane horizontal hives are now and have always been the most popular form of hive from Scandinavia to the tropics.
It's possible to look inside a hTBH through a very small opening, making the process easier for the bees.
I don't know that a short fat hive would do better than a long one. Maybe. I have one of each right now and they both winter most winters. I don't know how cold you get but -27 F for a couple of weeks is not unheard of and has not killed mine.
but i still need to sort out crooked comb when that happens.
FRAMEshiftI'm located in the south of Lapland, roughly 130 kilometers from Umeå.
Another thing to think about, and the reason I don't like horizontal TBH in my climate, is that it is much easier for a cluster of bees to move vertically up comb to new stores as a cluster, than it is for them to move horizontally across combs
I guess that you can rule out overwintering nucs and single deeps then. I am in zone 4 and don't seem to have the problems that you do.Bob
Another thing to think about, and the reason I don't like horizontal TBH in my climate, is that it is much easier for a cluster of bees to move vertically up comb to new stores as a cluster, than it is for them to move horizontally across combs. Heat naturally rises and the bees can follow. Think of how feral bees in a tree build a nest. If you get long periods of cold, without any warm spells, the bees can easily starve right next to stores, because they can't break cluster to get to it.

By Joe Brewin
Kristoffer Olsson will have Arsène Wenger's words of wisdom in mind as he looks to build on his impressive pre-season performances.
The young midfielder signed his first professional contract with the Club this summer after a promising first year in the academy.
Olsson, a Sweden youth international, was called up to the first team for their friendly with Southampton and says he has heeded his manager's advice to make the step up.
"I have spoken with the boss and he gave me some good tips," the talented 17-year-old told Arsenal.com.
"He tells me to take fewer touches with the ball and to play it a bit quicker. Playing against Boreham Wood [on Saturday] was not the quickest of tempos but against a team like Southampton it was much quicker.
"I was just told that I would be travelling with the first team to Southampton, and that was a great experience for me.
"I look up to all of the midfielders, so the likes of Arteta, Coquelin and Rosicky in the first-team squad. I like to get on the ball a lot, not only playing at No 10 but playing a little bit further back because I like to have the whole pitch in front of me."
Olsson played 14 times for Steve Bould's Under-18s in his debut season before injury and illness cut his campaign short.
Now back in action and keen to impress, Olsson has set his sights on a regular place in Terry Burton's reserves.
"I played for the Under-18s last season so the obvious target this season is to become more of a regular in the reserves," he said. "But you never know what might happen.
"To train with the first team has been good of course and you will always develop quicker by playing with them. It all depends how I play in the reserves next season."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Arsène Wenger has paid tribute to Pat Rice following the announcement that the Arsenal legend will leave the Club at the end of the season.
Rice has a 44-year association with Arsenal, firstly as a player when he won the Double in 1971 and led the side to FA Cup glory in 1979. Since 1996 he has worked closely with Wenger and the Frenchman will miss his long-serving right-hand man.
"It is very sad for me, because when you work with a guy like Pat for 16 years, it is a very difficult separation," he told Arsenal Player.
"I would say it is a privilege for me to meet a guy like Pat, not only for his competence but as well for his honesty, his discretion - which is not always easy in this job - and for his confidential attitude, and for his tremendous support.
"He was one who always gave me his honest feelings, and when I made different decisions he was completely behind me. That is a privilege when you are in my position. I am convinced it will not be a complete separation. I am convinced until the last day of his life he will be at the Emirates."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Ogden • It's an early Tuesday afternoon inside Weber State's Swenson Gym and women's volleyball coach Tom Peterson continues to do the same thing he's done for more than three decades.
Peterson checks the nets, exchanges a few asides with assistants and stretching players. Just another day in his office.
One thing Peterson does not do is dwell on the past which includes not only the highest of highs, but the lowest of the lows that could have easily resulted in bitterness and anger.
Instead, Peterson now in his second year at Weber State is trying to rebuild a moribund program.
"We'll get there," he said in a soft, benevolent voice. "What I like is, these are really good people. That's what makes this so enjoyable."
Peterson has built programs before. He has also won two NCAA men's volleyball national championships at Penn State in 1994 and at BYU a decade later.
The impact of his first NCAA trophy at Penn State was unmistakable. It was the first time a school not from the West Coast had won it. Peterson received a congratulatory note from Joe Paterno, saying that the championship "was as important a thing that has ever happened at Penn State."
Something else happened after Peterson led BYU to its third NCAA championship. He resigned amid an NCAA investigation of his program.
Until now, Peterson has never talked at length about what had happened at BYU. He says it still hurts.
"Every once in a while you run into a situation where, well, I'm not too surprised on how people treat one another and what people will say and do to other people," Peterson said. "It's doesn't surprise me now, the things that happen, good and bad, to people.
"Time and chance happens to us all."
A booster was found to have paid improper benefits of more than $20,000, as well as providing transportation, housing and meals, to two Cuban defectors, including Yosleyder Cala who played at BYU in 2006 and 2007 before turning professional. The other player never competed for BYU.
Following an 18-month NCAA probe, the BYU men's volleyball program was penalized in 2008 for major and secondary recruiting violations. Self-imposed and NCAA penalties included the loss of half a scholarship and a three-year probation period, although the Cougars remained eligible for postseason play.
Peterson was not penalized or sanctioned. According to the NCAA investigation, any violations by Peterson were technical in nature and not unethical though he was found to have failed to properly monitor the men's volleyball program.
It was enough to sink him at BYU, which got a black eye out of the process.
BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe declined comment for this story, but in a 2008 statement called the program's violations "serious" and said the school was committed to "making sure this does not happen again."
Without a job and his reputation stained, Peterson jumped at the offer to assist Utah State women's coach Grayson DuBose, Peterson's former assistant at BYU.
To DuBose, the hiring was a no-brainer, and he had little trouble convincing Utah State's administration.
"He gave me a shot, so I'm loyal to that guy," DuBose said. "He's a mentor and a friend and has been for a long time. He needs a job and I'm stupid if I don't hire him.
"At some point, you've got to keep moving on," he added. "It was real hard on Tom, real challenging for him. He's going to come out of it better, though it will still gnaw at you and always will."
But the two-year stop at USU helped pave the way for a return to a head coaching job. After doing his own background check, Weber State athletic director Jerry Bovee was satisfied that Peterson was a low-risk hire.
"I read the whole case with him and BYU," Bovee said. "We addressed it in the interview process. Through it all, we felt comfortable. We looked at everything. I wouldn't have hired him if there were concerns."
So, the coach, who also had women's coaching stops at Salt Lake Community College, Utah and New Mexico State before moving over to the men's side, has come full circle.
But his BYU roots still run deep.
Peterson became a club player and coach at BYU thanks to American Volleyball Coaches Association Hall of Famer Carl McGown, who coached the Cougar men's volleyball team between 1989 and 2002 and won two national titles.
As a 22-year-old returned missionary for the LDS Church, Peterson had a choice between badminton, which he had become pretty good at, and volleyball.
"I remember walking out of the dressing room door and there was a sign, go right for badminton tryouts or left for volleyball tryouts," Peterson said. "I finally turned left. Carl took pity on me and let me on the B team."
That BYU club team finished second at nationals. And the road to coaching was set.
Peterson inherited a challenge at Weber State.
The Wildcats went 3-26 during his first season in Ogden. The Wildcats are a more competitive 10-18 this year, but are still struggling to win in the Big Sky Conference.
"He's on the right path," said BYU women's coach Shawn Olmstead, a libero on Peterson's 2004 championship team. "He was expecting to do better, but he'll keep working. He's not afraid of a challenge."
Despite the early struggles, Peterson says he has found a home in Ogden.
"It has been a real pleasant surprise for me," said Peterson, who took the job as a way to stay in state and close to friends and family. "My wife and I were greatly surprised, not being from this area. Ogden, for us, has a neat combination of being kind of edgy in some places and great in others.
"[Weber State] is kind of a hidden gem, it seems to me. I enjoy being here and hope to make a difference in people's lives."
And as always, Peterson says he's looking forward. When asked what he has learned, there was some hesitation and a small smile.
"I've learned when something is so great, it's really not as good as you think it is," he said. "And when something is terrible, it's usually not quite that bad."

"My family really liked these. That little layer of melted chocolate chips really made a difference. People thought they looked tasty and smelled rich and chocolaty. In short, I've been encouraged to make this recipe again!!"
Reviewed Sep. 25, 2011
"The basic recipe is interesting and good but awfully plain. Next time I make it, I plan to add minichips to the blond layer and nuts to the chocolate layer. I did melt a cup of milk chocolate chips on the top when it finished baking, and I think that's what made it more interesting this time. Also I found the blond layer was a batter, not something I could press into the pan so it wasn't solid enough after even 12 minutes to support the chocolate layer. That made my layers ripply."
