On Vigneault's Press Conference and the Prospect of a "Coaching Swap"
Thomas Drance
June 21 2013 11:16AM
Alain Vigneault introduced in a press conference in New York on Friday.
On Friday, as divisive former Canucks coach Alain Vigneault prepared to give his first full press conference since his final game coaching Vancouver's club in early May, news broke out of Phoenix that Dave Tippett has signed a long-term contract extension and the Stars made their decision to hire Lindy Ruff official. So that means that, as of today, the Canucks are the last show in town on the "coaching vacancy front" and there appear to be three serious candidates left in the running in Scott Arniel, John Stevens, and John Tortorella.
With dream candidates Dan Bylsma and Dave Tippett remaining in place, and Lindy Ruff, Dallas Eakins, Patrick Roy and Vancouver's most recent head coach hired elsewhere, the cards are now all on the table. There's no obvious reason for the Canucks to wait and see any longer, so perhaps a decision on a new head coach will be forthcoming in short order. (Update: NHL sources are telling Gary Lawless than the Canucks have already offered the position to John Tortorella). Or maybe we'll wait another week because, after all, this is the Canucks we're talking about.
Read past the jump for more.
Considering how Vigneault has been criticized roundly in Vancouver - and at our blog as well - for "sitting on leads" to an undue extent (never mind that every coach does it), it was jarring for Canucks fans to hear Alain Vigneault trumpeted as an offensive style coach in his introductory press conference. Of course, considering he's replacing John Tortorella, I don't think that's altogether an unfair characterization.
It was interesting also, and somewhat compelling, to hear Alain Vigneault describe the evolution of his Canucks teams during his Vancouver tenure:
"If you looked at Vancouver how we evolved over the years, we started out as a defensive team because our skill level wasn't that high. As we developed a little more we evolved into one of the best offensive teams in the league and that's what I intend to do here."
I totally buy that, actually. You can't tell me that the 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11 and 2011-12 (through the first 41 games, at least) Vancouver Canucks weren't exciting clubs to watch. Even through this most recent season, as Vigneault's Canucks devolved into a slightly below average offensive club which relied on low-event hockey and stellar goaltending, it became apparent that Vigneault's "style" was dictated more by the personnel than any over-arching philosophy. When Kesler returned to the lineup, the Canucks played free-wheeling hockey. When Andrew Ebbett was in the top-nine, not so much.
Vigneault emphasized that the dichotomy between "offense" and "defense" is something of a false one, promising the assembled hockey media that "We're going to play well in both ends of the rink." For the most part that's something his Canucks teams did and did consistently. In the regular season at least.
Vigneault also trumpeted his player development bonafides, taking credit for how the twins, Kesler, Bieksa and Edler in particular transformed into top-end players under his tutelage:
"When i first got to Vancouver (the Sedin, Kesler, Edler, Bieksa) they were all young men and they've all become really good players in the NHL and I'm confident we can do the same thing in New York."
I honestly do think that Vigneault deserves some credit for some of the player development that went on in Vancouver under his watch (Jannik Hansen is another name I'd put in that list). That said, I'm equally curious to see if a new coach can help the likes of Edler and Bieksa improve on their decision making and cut down on unforced errors...
Ultimately the Rangers, recognizing they needed to score more, went out and hired a coach with a track record of coaching relatively exciting and offensively productive clubs that win a lot of games. In ten seasons as an NHL head coach, for example, Vigneault coached teams have been in the top-5 in league scoring on four occassions.
Meanwhile the Canucks are reportedly kicking the tires very seriously on New York's recently deposed head coach John Tortorella. The controverisal Tortorella, who could probably use a soft touch to go along with his brusque communication style, met with Mike Gillis in Boston this week. In nine full seasons as an NHL head-coach, by the way, Tortorella has coached one top-five offense and his Rangers teams essentially played a rope-a-dope, shotblock heavy defensive system that looked like some awful offshoot of Hunter Hockey.
For what it's worth, I like hockey (period) and defensive hockey is fine by me. But that's not the case for many Canucks fans. Canucks fans have been weened on Bure, Mogilny, the West Coast Express and the Sedin twins in the club's recent history. Like Dutch soccer fans, Canucks fans seem to see "offensive hockey" as a virtue unto itself, even if doesn't come attached to gaudy win-loss totals.
Many of those fans are busy quoting John Tortorella's famous "safe is death" quote of late, and singing the praises of John Tortorella's uptempo, aggressive Tampa Bay Lightning teams. Nevermind the revisionist history, the simple fact is that Alain Vigneault's bonafides as a coach with experience running uptempo, aggressive hockey teams far outpaces John Tortorella's.
I won't be particularly upset if Tortorella is named the Canucks head-coach. He's a solid tactician and his polarizing personality would be great for business. But if you expect a Tortorella coached Canucks team to play a more aesthetically pleasing type of hockey than Vigneault coached Canucks teams have over the past seven years, well, you're in for a rude awakening.
Coaching Profiles
If we sign Torts, it would not suprise me if we moved the Sedins to the Rangers for a package of players such as Boyle, Stepan and a draft pick.
can't see the Sedins fitting in to a sytem like Tortorella will run (Richards and Gaborik could't). But Vigneault would probably love to coach the Sedins again.

That's an interesting thought actually.
i would be really surprised if that would ever happen.
There's a serious mismatch in salaries in your proposal.
We may also want to note that Jeff Angus (from this esteemed site) has tweeted that the Sedins were lobbying for Torts (or a Torts-like guy) as coach.
I would seriously question my ability to follow this team going forward if they hired Torts. How many top 5 puck possesion teams has he coached since B.T.N was introduced? Top 10? vs. Alain.
His systems are crap, he played in a weak eastern conference and had the best goalie in the entire league. Yet, his team never saw the SCF. Ya, his cup win did a lot for NYR ey?
The ideas Canucks fans have about this guy are a farce. He's not a good coach, he's not a good motivational coach, and his systems are garbage in todays hockey. He's also a irrational nutcase with the media. That will lead the inevitable "Vancouver is officially the biggest gong show market in north america". In a years time, the majority of the players will either want to leave Canucks or say we don't want to play for him (a la NYR). Any idea they had of attracting free agents this summer is out the window. What free agent will actually 'want' to play for this guy. He's despised around the league.
Gillis will be fired next summer if Torts is hired. I guarnatee it.

At the very core of football is a game that matches 22 men split evenly, most of which growing up playing the game for the rudimentary reasoning of it being fun.
Fast forward through college football and to the National Football League, it's amazing to see just how much some that are talented enough, will go through to play that very game. This thought is brought on after speaking with Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Torell Troup following the first practice.
After having a positive day during conditioning on Wednesday, Troup tightened up a bit during the team's first practice on Thursday and was extremely limited. That's just part of the painful process that comes with being only seven months removed from serious back surgery.
Rewind the clock to this time last year and you would have seen Troup making significant steps forward in his game during training camp. Then the injury bug hit the defensive tackle, and hit him hard.
"I was so well prepared for the season last year, then two freak injuries sidelined me," Troup said. "There was nothing I could really do about it, so now I feel like I have something to prove but the coaches tell me, 'Just be ready for the first game.' So it's kind of like I'm fighting my own demon here. I want to be full go, I want to do all this stuff but my body's telling me I can't right now, so it's kind of hard."
Going through that line of thinking is a mental game, and there isn't anything more humbling to a player than having to go through rehabbing an injury for a significant amount of time. That's where their mettle truly gets tested.
"I'm not gonna lie: [it's] very, very difficult. Some days waking up and not being able to get out of bed and you know, needing help to take showers, walk down stairs... it's crazy because I'm only 24-25 years old. I'm 25 now. You don't expect anything like that when you're 25 years old.
"Just to be able to fight through that and just to be where I'm at now -- to even be on the field is really a blessing because a lot of guys probably wouldn't have done what I did. I get praise from the trainers and praise from the weight coaches because of how much pain I go through and how much pain I'm willing to tolerate to play football. Because I love football, I love the Bills, I want to play, I want to help the team in any way possible. It's been hard."
And there it is, the very core of any professional football player exuded by Troup: competitiveness, passion and a love for the game.
Heading in to his third year, Troup says he's putting a lot of pressure on himself to get back and contribute to the team. But it's not up to him, the former UCF standout is at the mercy of his back and how far it will let him go.

If you loved Neon Genesis Evangelion and Change 123, then I suggest you better read this. You'll sure get hooked to it. It is still running and at chapter 41 for the moment. It also has an anime adaptation.
From Wiki
Freezing is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Korean manhwa creators Dall-Young Lim and Kwang-Hyun Kim respectively.
The series revolves around an extraterrestial force called the Nova that are invading Earth, and genetically-engineered girls called Pandoras and their male partners called Limiters are created to combat them. The story centers on Kazuya Aoi, a Limiter whose late sister was a Pandora, and Satellizer el Bridget, a Pandora with a cold personality who is known as the "Untouchable Queen" for her intense aphephobia, both enrolled at West Genetics Academy, a special school that trains Pandoras and Limiters alike to fight against the Nova.The story follows Kazuya's friendship with Satellizer, the students of the Academy and Earth's war against the Nova.

Fans of SyFy's Eureka are already familiar with the "character" of S.A.R.A.H. (Self Actuated Residential Automated Habitat), a literal "smart house" build inside an abandoned fallout shelter that serves as the residence of Sheriff Jack Carter.
S.A.R.A.H. is an AI that can open and close the hermetically sealed doors, control internal lights and temperature, and make sure Jack has a nice cold beer on tap and a tape of the latest baseball game when he gets home from a hard day's work. In a pinch, she can diagnose injuries and compare current DNA samples against samples on file.
At the Comic-Con panel organized by the Exchange and Discovermagazine, series creator Jaime Paglia recalled that when he was first developing the series, he looked into the capabilities of a future "smart home" -- and discovered they already exist, albeit not with a built-in conscious AI. For instance, Georgia Tech has the Aware Home, an ordinary-looking two-story house tricked out with all the latest sensing equipment: cameras in the ceiling, microphones in the walls, and invisible trip wires in the doorways.
And now there's even a "smart dollhouse", part of project called InterHome. Per a recent article in New Scientist:
Developed at the University of Hertfordshire, UK, the house is fitted with a network of infrared sensors connected to a central computer. By working out which rooms we tend to occupy at different times, software algorithms learn when we need the lights, heating or air conditioning systems turned on and, perhaps more importantly, when we don't, says Johann Siau, the project's coordinator. ...
InterHome also aims to boost home security. By connecting door and window lock sensors to the computer, it can send a text message to the homeowner if they have forgotten to lock the front door, for instance. Texting back will lock any doors or windows in question.
Before smart homes become ubiquitous, however, we might want to make sure the AIs behind them don't have S.A.R.A.H.'s rather mercurial temperament. She once locked Carter out when he forgot to call to tell her he'd be late, and when Carter considered leaving the town of Eureka, her abandonment issues kicked into high gear and she locked everyone inside -- using her laser defense system to zap the pizza delivery boy when he tried to escape. Keep your Smart Home happy, people... or else.

51 'You stubborn people, with uncircumcised hearts and ears. You are always resisting the Holy Spirit, just as your ancestors used to do.
52 Can you name a single prophet your ancestors never persecuted? They killed those who foretold the coming of the Upright One, and now you have become his betrayers, his murderers.
53 In spite of being given the Law through angels, you have not kept it.'
54 They were infuriated when they heard this, and ground their teeth at him.
55 But Stephen, filled with the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at God's right hand.
56 'Look! I can see heaven thrown open,' he said, 'and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God.'
57 All the members of the council shouted out and stopped their ears with their hands; then they made a concerted rush at him,
58 thrust him out of the city and stoned him. The witnesses put down their clothes at the feet of a young man called Saul.
59 As they were stoning him, Stephen said in invocation, 'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.'
60 Then he knelt down and said aloud, 'Lord, do not hold this sin against them.' And with these words he fell asleep.
1 Saul approved of the killing. That day a bitter persecution started against the church in Jerusalem, and everyone except the apostles scattered to the country districts of Judaea and Samaria.
3 You are my rock, my rampart; true to your name, lead me and guide me!
4 Draw me out of the net they have spread for me, for you are my refuge;
6 you hate those who serve useless idols; but my trust is in Yahweh:
7 I will delight and rejoice in your faithful love! You, who have seen my misery, and witnessed the miseries of my soul,
8 have not handed me over to the enemy, but have given me freedom to roam at large.
17 I call on you, Yahweh, so let disgrace fall not on me, but on the wicked. Let them go down to Sheol in silence,
21 Blessed be Yahweh who works for me miracles of his faithful love (in a fortified city)!
30 So they said, 'What sign will you yourself do, the sight of which will make us believe in you? What work will you do?
31 Our fathers ate manna in the desert; as scripture says: He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'
32 Jesus answered them: In all truth I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, it is my Father who gives you the bread from heaven, the true bread;
33 for the bread of God is the bread which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.
34 'Sir,' they said, 'give us that bread always.'
35 Jesus answered them: I am the bread of life. No one who comes to me will ever hunger; no one who believes in me will ever thirst.

Late Goal Spoils Wolves Third Period Rally
Thomas Drance
November 16 2012 10:31PM
Zack Kassian's movember stash, Bobby Clarke gap and the hashtags in this all kill me. I'm dead.
Via @shaeendo
The Chicago Wolves have had plenty of rest recently. Call it a scheduling quirk, or call it a different type of "league initiated hiatus" but the Wolves hadn't played a game in nearly a week.
They played on Friday night however, and the rust was evident through forty-eight mostly listless minutes. The Wolves struggled to generate scoring chances or push the attack forward, and were unusually permissive in their own end. Goaltender Eddie Lack bailed his club out repeatedly, but the Wolves still allowed the Rivermen to build a two goal lead and weren't showing much urgency about it early in the third period; a full six minutes into the final frame and the Wolves had yet to generate a single shot on goal.
But the game turned in a hurry. First, Guillame Desbiens knocked a puck out of the air and into the Peoria net; and not thirty second later Kevin Connauton unleashed a shot from the top of the circle that was expertly tipped by Steve Pinizzotto for the game tying marker.
From there the Wolves were all over the Rivermen, handily controlling the proceedings over the balance of the third frame and into overtime. But the Wolves' dominance of the latter ten minutes of the game wasn't enough on this evening. With twenty-six seconds to play in the overtime period, Rivermen winger Phil MacRae leaked like a Revenue Lost Chart through the Wolves defense, and beat Lack with a quick forehand deke to win the game.
Read past the jump for more.
- Easily the best Chicago line on Friday night was the top-line, featuring Darren Haydar, Andrew Ebbett and Steve Pinizzotto. Those three are all solid AHL veterans, and along with Lack their play was a lone bright spot in the first two periods for Chicago. Late in the first they put together a particularly lovely cycle shift, generating two scoring chances and testing Peoria netminder Jake Allen. That was a pretty standard shift for them this evening, and they tilted the ice consistently when they were on it. They also had a nice energy shift following Desbiens goal that led directly to Pinnizzotto's marker.
- In contrast, the Jordan Schroeder, Zack Kassian line were very quiet all evening and struggled to develop much of anything with consistency on Friday. There was an occassional glimpse of brilliance, a lovely passing play from Schroeder to Connauton to Kassian to set up a one-timer which, Kassian ripped just high, but mostly this was the exception. It just looked like one of those evenings where both Schroeder and Kassian were battling the puck. Late in the third, Zack Kassian was fed on a breakaway pass but the puck just bounced over his stick and neutered the attack before it started. It was a moment that might typify their evening.
- On defense, the Chicago Wolves appear to have seperated the Kevin Connauton, Chris Tanev pairing that they were using earlier in the season (and that had significantly success for the Wolves in the first half of last year). Going into the 2012-13 campaign, Kevin Connauton has been looking to continue improving his defensive game; while Chris Tanev has looked to jump into the rush more, and generate offense.
It makes sense for the Canucks' prospects to focus on ironing out the kinks in their game in the AHL, but it's my impression that those two were a discombobulated pair in the early going, partly because they were working to subvert their natural instincts which, threw off the 'calibration' of their pairing. Hey it's just a theory.
- For the most part the Wolves defenders had a solid game in the absence of Derek Joslin, who has definitely been the Wolves' minutes later so far this year. Connauton skated with Mark Matheson on what appeared to be the top-pairing, while Chris Tanev was paired with Brad Hunt on a puck-moving second pair. Peter Andersson and Zach Miskovic were Arniel's third pair, though Miskovic (who has a nice wrist shot) played with Connauton in the overtime period.
- Tanev was his usual, quiet, chain-smoking self (really worried about his lungs, you guys). While Tanev was on the ice for Peoria's second goal of the evening, a power-play goal in which Peoria capitalized on a fortunate rebound, he didn't make a coverage error on the play. On one occassion he got beat cleanly on the rush by Jaden Schwartz, but he stuck with the play and at least made Schwartz's scoring chance more difficult on that particular break.
Tanev also didn't look to be forcing it offensively so much, which I think is probably a good thing, though on a couple of occassions he struggled to get his point shot through the first defender.
- Kevin Connauton had a really strong game, right up until he was flummoxed by Phil MacRae on Peoria's game winning goal. I imagine Connauton's going to absolutely hate watching that on gametape over the coming several days, since MacRae quite literally went right through him. Hey, it happens. Unfortunately his error on Friday evening will obscure the fact that Connauton is doing an extremely impressive job controlling games while playing against top-competition this season.
- Anton Rodin had a lovely power-play zone-entry in the second period, and followed it up with a really impressive deke while cutting into the slot. Occassionally his skill level is dazzling but those moments have been too few and far between for Rodin this season.

Subject: Pay and Display Parking Permit Program
The City of Glendale and the Glendale Community College District's Joint Parking Authority (JPA) have approved the installation of parking pay stations on campus. This will allow the purchase of a daily parking permit for use during the week and also on weekends . Effective September 10, 2012, daily parking permits will be available for use in the upper/open parking lot (Lot B) and the upper floors of the parking structure (floors 3-6), each day. Daily parking permits may NOT be used during the week (Monday-Friday) in faculty/staff lots --- including Lot A, Lot G and the faculty/staff parking area of the parking structure (floors 1-2). Weekend use is permissible with a daily parking permit.
There are three (3) parking pay stations next to the Glendale College Police substation. There are also three (3) five-minute parking spaces next to the pay stations to allow time to pull into the space, purchase a parking pass, and then to park in Lot B. There will no longer be 30 minute free parking spaces in Lot B.
Beginning September 10, 2012, parking will be enforced 6:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m., 7-days a week. If a faculty member, staff member or student has a valid Glendale College parking permit, there is no need to purchase a daily parking permit. However, it is necessary to display your Glendale College parking permit from the rear view mirror of your vehicle when properly parking on campus, 7-days a week, in order to avoid receipt of a citation. If a faculty member or staff member does not have a Glendale College parking permit or has forgotten their permit, they will need to stop by the Glendale College Police Dept. in the Sierra Madre Bldg. to obtain one. Students should contact the bookstore or the Student Fees Office in the Administration Building (for BOG students) to purchase their parking permits.
The cost to purchase a daily parking permit will be $3.00 per day. No partial payment will be allowed. This will be a pay-and-display system. The daily permit must be properly displayed by placing it face-up on the dashboard of the vehicle. If the permit is placed face down or is not visible on the dashboard, the driver may be subject to a citation for improperly displaying the daily parking permit. The pay stations will only take coins (quarters and dollar coins) and credit cards or debit cards – NO BILLS.
Each parking pay station has simple directions to follow. Press 1 to start the process. When prompted, insert the appropriate number of coins or a credit/debit card and follow the directions. The daily parking permit will be printed. Take it and place it face up on your vehicle dashboard. An educational program will be implemented during the first week of school (cadets will be handing out flyers). A Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) list will also be posted on the web page. Through the Public Information Office, we will be providing information regarding the pay and display program.
This pay and display system will NOT replace any of the processes currently utilized to accommodate faculty and staff members with special parking needs and requests. The Glendale College Police Department remains committed to provide services for each department, faculty member and staff member as well as all students. If there are specific or temporary parking needs for dignitaries, guests, guest-speakers, vendors, etc., please email email@example.com with the request or contact the Glendale College Police Department at (818) 551-5205 for assistance.
Lastly, LOT F (at Towne Ave/Verdugo Rd.) is a metered lot only, available for use by visitors, staff and/or faculty. As noted, Lot F requires coins to be inserted into the parking meters. A Glendale College parking permit is not authorized for use in Lot F unless specified. When construction begins next spring in Lot A for the new student services lab building, parking in Lot A will be restricted to allow the construction company to begin its work and store its equipment. FYI -daily parking permits will NOT be allowed in Lot A next spring (2013), including weekends, once the building construction begins. If there are any questions, please contact the Glendale College Police Department at (818) 551-5205 or via email at email@example.com.

Main Page | Risk Factors | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Screening | Reducing Your Risk | Talking to Your Doctor | Living With COPD | Resource Guide
Surgery may be used to treat a small number of people with COPD. It can improve symptoms, make breathing easier, and sometimes prolong life. However, it cannot cure the disease. Surgical procedures include:
Bullectomy improves breathing for a small number of people with COPD. This is a rarely done elective procedure. It involves the surgical removal of a large air space, called a bulla, which is filled with oxygen-depleted air. When the bulla is removed, healthy functioning air sacs around it have room to expand. This makes muscles used for breathing work better. Usually only one large bulla is removed.
Surgeons do bullectomy in 2 different ways. An incision is made in the side of the chest wall between the ribs. This is called a thoracotomy. Then, a tube mounted with a small video camera, called a video thoracoscope, is inserted. Surgical instruments are also attached to the thoracoscope. The surgeon is able to view the lung on a video screen while removing the bulla. The bulla can also be removed through this incision.
This procedure is done to relieve symptoms in people with advanced COPD. Surgeons remove a portion of the most diseased lung tissue. This allows the diaphragm to return to a more normal position, allowing it to work more efficiently. This may improve lung elasticity. In some people, surgery can improve symptoms.
Surgeons do LVRS with a thoracotomy. The surgeon removes the diseased lung tissue through a large incision. In another method, surgeons insert a video thoracoscope through a small incision. They remove diseased tissue while viewing the lungs on a video screen (VATS). In both procedures, surgeons remove about 20%-30% of the most damaged lung tissue.
A lung transplant is a surgical procedure to remove severely diseased lungs and replace them with healthy lungs from a human donor. One or both lungs may be transplanted. The procedure may be done in people with end-stage COPD.
In a single lung transplant, the surgeon makes an incision on your side, about 6 inches below your underarm. A horizontal incision across the lower chest is made for a double lung transplant. You will be put on a ventilator and a heart-lung machine. The heart-lung machine takes over the functions of the heart and lungs during the operation. A small section of rib is permanently removed to allow access to your lung. The old lung is cut away from the main blood vessel and bronchus. The new lung is then inserted. The blood vessels and bronchus are attached to the new lung. You will probably remain on medications indefinitely to prevent rejection of your transplanted organs.

"At first glance I thought..."How ugly!" And then I passed by them again... "Hmm.. Maybe they aren't so bad". So on my third time around, I thought..."What could I possibly wear these with? Nope." Still didn't buy them. But the price was nice so finally on my fourth glance I decided to give them a try. Man! This was one of the best contemplations ever made. This shoe goes with everything and is super comfy! It looks great with pastels....I can't wait for the spring/summer months."

Some of the world's most innovative engineers credit Legos for sparking their interest in physics and experimentation. Lego blocks may remind you of childhood, but the math and science lessons they teach can last a lifetime. Wonder what Legos can do to boost your physics knowledge? Channel your inner Lego geek with this quiz.
Start Quiz »
You scored
0 out of 20
Question 1 of 20
Which Lego project would be best for demonstrating friction?
a car
To get an idea of an object's friction, a Lego car test would be the best answer. With the ability to move its wheel positions and alter the incline of road surfaces, you can get a better idea of how friction slows or speeds up the car.
a plane
a stationary building
Question 2 of 20
After constructing a Lego bridge between two cardboard boxes, you test the weight limits by placing books on top of one spot. To your disappointment, the structure falls through with little weight. Which physics principle may contribute to the bridge's instability?
Adding weight to a small area (or building a bridge without the ability to disseminate weight) increases pressure and leaves vulnerable spots on the structure -- bad news for Lego minifigures passing through on their daily commute.
Question 3 of 20
Which Lego creation would most likely help you grasp the idea of kinetics, or how objects move?
mini skyscraper
car and ramp
Neither a jumble of Lego minifigures nor a static skyscraper will provide an easy lesson on kinetics. But exploring kinetics with a Lego car and handmade ramp will do the trick, as you can measure how different inclines affect the distance your car rolls and even its stored energy.
a pyramid of minifigures
Question 4 of 20
Lego products frequent which group's physics class?
elementary schoolers
high schoolers
Both are correct.
Lego bricks and robots can be found at the elementary and high school level. Some college courses use Lego models for engineering experiments, too.
Question 5 of 20
Where does the Lego MINDSTORMS line of robotics products get its namesake?
a speech
a book
Inspired by Seymour Papert's book "Mindstorms: Children, Computers and Powerful Ideas," the product line took the author's mission to heart in offering hands-on ways to learn math and science concepts.
a young Lego user
Question 6 of 20
Which physics-defying art piece can be replicated using Lego elements?
"The Persistence of Memory" by Salvador Dali
Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa"
"Relativity" by M.C. Escher
There may be personal versions of all of the above, but Escher's "Relativity," which depicts flights of stairs without gravity, defies physics the most -- making its Lego version all the more fascinating.
Question 7 of 20
Which physics concept can be easily learned through using a Lego pulley wheel and pulley bands?
Both are correct.
With a pulley system in place, you can see how the tensions of the band affect the amount of force you have to apply to an object to achieve a goal. For instance, if you want to lift another Lego structure, you'll find pulleys make it easier to do while exerting less effort.
Question 8 of 20
What is FIRST Lego League?
an informal club to trade Lego pieces
an organization to design Lego robots and compete against other teams
The group consists of teams from around the world that compete in Lego robotics competitions.
the first group of Lego builders -- ever
Question 9 of 20
True or false: The Lego company works with teachers to develop some of its products.
There's plenty of knowledge to share, and Lego agrees. By collaborating with education experts, the company produces many series fit for the classroom -- especially when it comes to teaching kids physics.
Question 10 of 20
Which Lego project succeeds in teaching kids about structural engineering?
a robot with sensors
Star Wars spaceships
a truss bridge
Sorry Millennium Falcon fans, but the largest physics lesson in structural engineering rests in a truss bridge project.
Question 11 of 20
Your Lego robot has more mass than your friend's bot. Why does it take more force to move yours from a stationary position?
For starters, you know that yours has more mass. Basic physics shows that mass is linked to inertia, or the resistance an object has to being moved (or stopped being moved, for that matter). Usually, more mass means more inertia.
bad luck
Question 12 of 20
Which brand of Lego products help youngsters grasp physics concepts intuitively? (Hint: They're bigger.)
Lego Duplo encourages building among young children, but the pieces are considerably larger, probably to reduce choking hazards.
Question 13 of 20
What do Lego ultrasonic sensors help measure?
simple harmonic motion
No yawning here. These ultrasonic sensors help students learn about simple harmonic motion, or what to expect from a springy contraption.
water displacement
the span of your lab partner's yawn
Question 14 of 20
How well do you know your beloved blocks? What are the dimensions of a basic Lego brick?
8 by 8 by 9 millimeters
The most basic Lego product is an 8- by 8- by 9-millimeter Lego brick.
10 by 10 by 11 millimeters
14 by 14 by 15 millimeters
Question 15 of 20
Which Lego series includes a 32-bit microprocessor block that can be reprogrammed for each robot you dream up?
Lego's Star Wars set
Mindstorms NXT
Though DUPLO entertains a younger crowd and Star Wars remains a classic, the MINDSTORMS NXT products can be reprogrammed to do a variety of tasks, teaching you loads of physics along the way.
Question 16 of 20
Based on its appearance, which Lego piece is more likely to bend with weight added to it?
Because of their thinness, plates may bear the brunt of weight on a given structure or project. But if you incorporate physics concepts into your plan, you can construct buildings and bridges that more evenly dissipate weight.
Question 17 of 20
Which Lego competition boasted a celestial impact on science and technology?
a lunar challenge
The Lego company's influence isn't limited to Earth's atmosphere. One robotics competition tasked teams to design their projects around a lunar mission.
an underwater vessel challenge
a rocket challenge
Question 18 of 20
How many Lego bricks would you need to build a column that reaches the moon?
10 billion
20 billion
40 billion
It may be hard to fathom, but it would take 40 billion bricks stacked vertically to get to the moon!
Question 19 of 20
What's torque, and how does it relate to Lego projects?
Torque affects how easily an object can be moved on an axis -- an important factor for Lego bots on a mission.
Despite its robot-sounding name, torque acts as a classic physics concept that details the amount of force needed to move an object on a axis. Torque matters a lot if you make use of Lego axes or computer commands. Ice cream lovers, don't despair: some teachers really did program robots to make sundaes.
The word describes how liquids affect the physical properties of materials -- a concept that could put a damper on your Lego project.
Torque refers to a line of Lego robots programmed to make ice cream sundaes (Yum!).
Question 20 of 20
Which of the following is NOT a Lego piece typically used in building sturdy structures?
According to a Lego engineering activity, you'll find plenty of use for beams and bricks. Wheels? Not so much.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Huntington City will be the home to three new businesses as licenses were granted at their August meeting. Mark Tanner will open a law office at 620 North Main. Angela Baumgartner will open Clear Sight Glass Solutions at 253 South Main. She will do auto glass repair and replacement. Vickie Kinder will have an office in her home for her business of support coordinator. She will do home visits to work with people with mental handicaps and brain injuries.
Bennett Ray Gunderson visited with the city council on a matter of trespass and destruction of private property. He owns the 17 acre parcel of land behind Huntsman Motors over to and crossing the Loop Road. He said his fence has been destroyed on this property and his property boundary marker has been removed. A road has been placed through his property without permission to access the rodeo grounds. He said permission was never asked for or granted to use his property to put a road into the rodeo grounds. Soil was placed on his property when the new RV dump was placed in the area. Someone smoothed out this soil and destroyed his corner post. It was determined a price will be negotiated on the value of that small piece of property and the city will purchase the property if they can afford it.
Jim Hansen came to the meeting to voice concerns over junk, refuse and fire hazards at the property located at 320 West and 200 North. He is also concerned with all the weeds throughout the city. Mayor Hilary Gordon told Hansen they have concerns for several such abandoned properties all over town. The city is addressing these clean-up issues one by one. Letters have been sent to the most serious offenders and steps are being started towards getting these problem properties cleaned up. A letter will be sent to the property owner where Hansen has concerns.
Councilmember Travis Larsen said beautification is where he puts his efforts. He said, "Just because you live in Huntington doesn't mean you should be held to a lower standard. Some of these properties have years of neglect. Some people care about their property and some people don't. Hopefully we can raise the standard."
It was mentioned that Hansen was the first person in a long time who came to the city council to voice concerns over nuisance properties. They thanked him for voicing his opinion.
Councilmember Cowley said the city is really addressing the problem and things have improved and will continue to improve because of enforcement. She also mentioned that individuals can contact the public health department and some properties can be condemned and cleaned up because they pose a risk to public health.
More people need to get involved in wanting to clean up Huntington. Larsen mentioned that all Huntington City ordinances are on the Internet and everyone is welcome to look them over and see what the ordinances entail. Hansen also said Huntington City is one of the offenders for having weeds on city property. When a property is set to be demolished it must be demolished on the site and then the debris hauled to the landfill. Gordon said the city is working on mowing and spraying their weeds.
Under public comments, Patsy Stoddard from the Emery County Economic Development Council told the city council of the Revolving Loan Fund the economic development council has to loan money to small businesses wishing to start-up or expand. The low interest loans can be given up to $40,000 to qualified businesses. Any small business wishing to know more can contact Mike McCandless at the economic development office at 381-5576.
Gordon reported on the Fast Pass cars which stopped in Huntington. Huntington City provided lunch for them. They made a donation of $2,000 to go into the park fund. The auditors have been working on the books and everything was very well kept. Gordon said JimieDawn Jones will be leaving her position as recorder and the city wishes her the best.
Cowley reported they hung two signs at the local parks about tobacco use. The tobacco coalition gave the city $250 to keep these two signs up for two months. She met with Julie Jones and Mayor Gordon on the CIB grant and the city will be using what is left from that grant to add better lighting for the rodeo arena. If the money from the grant isn't used then it will be returned to the CIB. The soccer field is looking good and will be ready for play. She is having the goals refurbished for the soccer field. Cowley reported they have had trouble with the sensor at the splash pad. It only needs to be touched to come on and some people are using more force than necessary to get the water on. Also there is a small delay after touching the sensor before the water comes on. The city will install a fence around the control box. Concrete will be installed along the soccer field to mark the area for parking, so no one will drive upon the field and damage the sprinkling system.
Councilmember Jerry Livingston reported on the sidewalk projects coming along in the city. He also met with Rocky Mountain Power on getting power poles moved throughout the city.
Larsen said they are ordering four more benches to place at the welcome signs at the entrances to town. Councilmember Bob Mills reported the city will have enough water to take care of the watering needs for this season.
Councilmember Julie Jones reported she attended the economic development meeting and they are holding a tourism/customer service workshop in November in Green River. An agricultural summit for farmers will be on Oct. 8. The representative from Harward Farms will be there to discuss his business and pest control. A business expo will be presented on Sept. 17-18 at the Carbon County Events Center. It will have booths from local businesses and a food court and will show what Carbon and Emery counties have to offer. An eagle project at the cemetery has been completed for an information kiosk and Nielson Construction donated the cement. Jones reported there are several diseased trees at the cemetery that need to come out. To remove three trees and a large stump will be $3,000. Jones was instructed to get another bid for the project according to policy. An ATV problem at the cemetery was discussed. ATVs are climbing the hill by the road. Jones said she is trying to get a grant to develop that portion of the cemetery. One possible solution for now is fencing so ATVs can't use the hill. The lights at Lion's Park do not work and someone needs to find out why because they are needed. It is Lisa Brower's last day as a cemetery worker on Aug. 31. The council elected to re-advertise for the position for the remainder of the season.
The old Helmer problem property was discussed. Planning and zoning administrator Gary Arrington has sent a number of letters out to offenders. Most of the places he has talked to more than once. It is a long process. As a last recourse on some of the properties, the city can clean up the property and send the owner the bill. If they don't pay the bill it can be taken to court and/or attached to their property taxes. Asbestos studies have been done on three offending properties and after the necessary steps are taken, the fire department can burn the home on site and the refuse will be hauled to the landfill.
Mayor Gordon said they are taking one property at a time due to expenses. Arrington requested planning and zoning be given a budget so they can send letters and take care of expenses related to cleaning up properties.
Cowley discussed the improvements at the concession stand in the city park. At the Fourth of July it became obvious that something needed to be done with the electricity in the building. A long counter will be installed with a hot water heater and the electricity will be upgraded for a cost of $1,000 which Cowley said is within the budget.
A nonconforming use permit was granted for the Sharon Earl property which houses her tax business and Quilted Treasures. The council set the number of businesses allowed in that building at three. Parking is the biggest issue around the building at tax time, but parking is available on the side of the building and proprietors sometimes park behind the building.
Arrington showed the land use zoning map with the featured changes. The council adopted the new map.
The council discussed the sanitation contract. The contract includes weekly pick-up at the residences and the emptying of roll-off dumpsters behind the complex. The five year contract was awarded to Emery Sanitation. The council expressed their appreciation to Kent Wilson and company for their service which goes above and beyond what's required. They thanked him for their accessibility and willingness to work with the city. Wilson said as the city does clean-up projects he will be glad to provide roll-offs. The next Huntington City meeting will be on Sept. 16.

Mental Health and Human Services 2+2
Associate in Arts Degree
Transfer to Franciscan University of Steubenville
Note: The "2+2" term is used to refer to a transfer agreement through which a student completes an Associate degree at WVNCC and finishes a Bachelor's degree at another institution. Because of individual student factors, part-time or full-time status, need for transitional education coursework, scheduling and availability of courses, or other factors, all students may not be able to complete this degree in two (Associate's) or four (Bachelor's) years. The term "2+2" does not imply a guarantee that a student will be able to complete all requirements in four years.
Academic Advisor(s): WH-Herrington; WT-Davis; NM-Britt
Students completing this option will receive an Associate of Arts degree from West Virginia Northern. Upon completing the specified 69-78 credit hours at FUS, they will receive a Bachelor Degree in Mental Health and Human Services.
Approximately 68 credit hours (depending on what math and science courses are taken) will transfer as equivalent courses, with the rest transferring as general electives.
In addition to the WVNCC courses, applicants for admission to FUS need to have an overall grade point average of 2.0 and meet other program admissions requirements of Franciscan University to be eligible under the 2+2 program.*
Students successfully completing and receiving an A.A. degree under the 2+2 agreement with Franciscan University's School of Mental Health and Human Services should be able to:
• Demonstrate knowledge of the history of the mental health/human services profession and the evolution of its various delivery systems

A minimum of 30 final consecutive FUS credits are required for graduation. Students wishing to earn academic honors at FUS must complete their last 62 consecutive credits at FUS with a grade point average of 3.5 or above. WVNCC grade point averages do not figure into this calculation.
Important Note: A degree in Mental Health and Human Services is not related to any kind of licensure. Students interested in licensure will need to consider a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Social Work or a related field that is licensure eligible.
*Although a cumulative GPA of 2.0 meets requirements for graduation at WVNCC, students who do not meet the GPA (or other special) requirements at the transfer institution for admission to this baccalaureate program may not be admitted to the program until they are able to meet those requirements. Students should consult with an advisor at the transfer institution early in their program to check on this, and other requirements for admission to the baccalaureate program.
