PacWest adds Dominican University of California as 9th conference program
PacWest invites Dominican University of California to become its 9th member
SAN RAFAEL, CA - The Pacific West Conference has extended an invitation to Dominican University of California in San Rafael, CA, to become the league's ninth member institution.
PacWest Commissioner Bob Hogue made the announcement on Thursday, June 12, bringing the total number of conference schools from the San Francisco area to three.
The addition comes just a few months after the PacWest welcomed the Academy of Art University in San Francisco to the league. Both schools met the June 1,2008, application deadline to apply for NCAA Division II status.
"The Pacific West Conference is delighted and thrilled to welcome such a prestigious university as Dominican," Hogue said. "Our conference is growing and Dominican will be a valuable addition."
The following institutions now comprise the PacWest: Academy of Art University (San Francisco, CA), Brigham Young University Hawaii, Chaminade University of Honolulu, Dixie State College of Utah, Grand Canyon University (Phoenix, AZ), Hawai'i Pacific University, the University of Hawai'i at Hilo, and Notre Dame de Namur University (Belmont, CA).
"Dominican's proximity to both NDNU and the Academy of Art University helps balance the league in terms of scheduling," Hogue explained. "Travel partners are now more geographically feasible with four schools in Hawai'i, three schools in the Bay Area, and two schools in the Southwest - Dixie State College and Grand Canyon."
Dominican will join the PacWest for 2008-09 as an independent before playing a full PacWest Conference schedule in 2009-10.
The addition of Dominican provides the PacWest with additional exposure in a major metropolitan area. With three teams located in the greater San Francisco area, one in Phoenix and two in Honolulu, six of the conference's nine institutions are located in major media markets.
Known as the Penguins, Dominican University of California will initially sponsor eight of the 11 PacWest sports, including five women's athletic teams and three men's sports. The university will offer compete in the conference in the following programs:
- Basketball (Men and Women)
- Golf (Men)
- Soccer (Men and Women)
- Softball
- Tennis (Women)
- Volleyball (Women)
The PacWest also sponsors men's and women's cross country and baseball, while Dominican competes in the non-PacWest sports of men's lacrosse and women's golf.
The Penguins will make their NCAA Division II debut against NDNU in the fall of 2009. The women's volleyball team will play the Argos on September 17, while the men's and women's soccer teams will battle on September 19.
The move to the NCAA Division II level will bring greater exposure to Dominican athletics outside the San Francisco Bay Area, according to Ian Tonks, Dominican's associate vice president of athletics.
Dominican is currently is a Division II member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and competes in the California Pacific Conference.
"The NCAA Division II Pacific West Conference is the natural next level of athletic competition for Dominican's student-athletes," Tonks explained. "It requires a high level of athletic competition and will expose Dominican's student-athletes to a wide range of teams from all over the United States through both conference play and, eventually, participation in championship events."
In recent years the Penguins have enjoyed success in the athletic arena by winning 20 Cal Pac Conference Championships, one NAIA Region II title, and a National Small College Championship. Dominican has made nine NAIA Region II and seven NAIA Division II National Tournament appearances in the process.
Earlier this year, the men's basketball team won the California Pacific Championship for the fifth time in six seasons. In 2007, both the women's soccer and volleyball teams were California Pacific Conference Co-Champions.
"Dominican teams already have a rich wining tradition," Hogue said. "Dominican has an established program in the NAIA, and it will be a smooth transition into NCAA Division II competition."
Academic honors are also an important part of Domincan's well-rounded student-athletes. In the past three years, more than 35 Dominican athletes have been named NAIA Scholar-Athletes.
"Judging by the academic success of Dominican's student-athletes, the university will be a contender for our Athletic Achievement award," Hogue added. "The NCAA II puts a great emphasis on academics as well as athletics."

A wee while ago, I also produced some music under the moniker MJZ. A small recorder usually accompanies me on my journeys, as i like incorporating recordings of all aspects of life into my melodies and beats. The end product results in some sort of ambient, catchy, blissed out electronica.

This hat is the perfect size: not too tight for my giant brain box, but not sloppy either. I got it in mint green (my favorite color), and it's soft and warm. If you like your head, you should get one.

I got the white ones -- they look & feel great. The only downside is that with all the perfs, the leather rips easily. Still totally worth getting.

love the spandex, great fit, good looking pants. the only thing i'm not crazy about are the mesh pockets, but that's not enough to knock off a star.

I sat down yesterday in front of the television with a mammoth plate of food in hand prepared to watch one of my favorite football games of the year. Thanksgiving Day is like New Years Day in college football for me. This year I sat down knowing that the Cowboys season is all but lost. That fact still did not temper the excitement I had to watch the Cowboys upset the Saints.
The first quarter began and things sure turned South in a hurry for the Boys. I was strategically maneuvering through my plate of food and was keeping hope alive whilst doing so. As we all saw, the Cowboys turned it all around after the first quarter and really started making some things happen. They got some timely turnovers and started moving the ball a little bit. This caused a buzz about the room I was in. It felt good to feel a little excitement for once. This brought me out of the food induced coma that I was slipping into. I sat up in my chair, thought about how I hate the Saints, and started to really get into the game.
Late in the fourth quarter, the game is winding down and I am really excited. We are going to pull this thing off I think to myself. FALSE, we have a Roy Williams sighting! As it has seemed the entire time he has been with the Cowboys, Roy comes up with an extremely untimely error and fumbles the ball inside the Saints 20. I literally could not believe it. The man has no presence of mind to cover the ball up knowing the sole thing the defenders are going to do is try and strip the ball. When that happened all I saw was red and flashes Leon Lett sliding into the ball on that snowy Thanksgiving.
I know this error was not as grievous a mistake as Lett's inexplicable move some years back. In a season filled with miscues and errors for some reason this one sent me into the stratosphere. I can not wait for the day when I no longer see Roy Williams running out of the tunnel in a Cowboys uniform. I have had enough of him. I feel as if every game I'm yelling at him due to a fumble or a ball rocketing right through his hands only to hit him directly in the face and it's usually on a crucial third down. I have just had enough.
I know I have woke up this morning still feeling a bit irrational. I am trying to tell myself it is Thanksgiving weekend. There are better days on the horizon. I just hope those days are not filled with Roy Williams.
I hope all had a Happy Thanksgiving.

Each year more than 90,000 people, including 30,000 schoolchildren, visit the historic Massachusetts State House. Until 1999, all of the many works of art they saw displayed in the Commonwealth's most important public building depicted men, and white men at that.
We know that women had a profound impact on public life long before they could testify at legislative hearings, cast a vote, or hold elected office. Yet there was virtually no recognition of their contributions within the State House.
In 1995, the state legislature began to remedy this problem by establishing a Senate Select Committee to commemorate the contribution of women to the government of the Commonwealth. After consulting with experts, the committee recommended that six women be honored in a work of art to be permanently installed in the State House: Dorothea Dix, Lucy Stone, Sarah Parker Remond, Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin, Mary Kenney O'Sullivan, and Florence Luscomb.
The next step was the launching by the Massachusetts Foundation for the Humanities of the State House Women's Leadership Project. With funding from public and private sources, the Foundation:

- NBA 3PT Range

- Conditioning Issues
This season the torch was officially passed to Thomas as the best player on the Ohio State Buckeyes as a junior and he delivered. As a freshman he was the teams Sixth Man and as a sophomore he became a starter and Robin to Jared Sullinger's Batman.
Over the course of the three years at Ohio State Thomas has shown flashes of being an elite scorer, but has also struggled with conditioning.
The conditioning is an issue that has to be looked at going forward as it handicaps the overall abilities of Thomas on the court. When he is not in basketball shape, which for Thomas is above 230 lbs, he is less effective on the court. It anchors his feet to the floor on both ends of the floor making him more of a liability.
At his more natural playing weight (220-225 lbs) Thomas has is more elusive and able to get out to do the things he is most effective at on the offensive end. He is not a great athlete so above the rim plays are not his forte, but he has high level skills at getting to the rim as a scorer.
Coming off of screens, cuts, and cleaning up the offensive glass are the bread and butter for Thomas on the offensive end. In those three areas in specific Thomas scored 257 of his points at a clip of 1.33 points per possession (PPP).
That only made 35% of Thomas' points as a junior, but they were his most efficient points as a scorer. Using his combination of size and skill, Thomas is a tough cover for threes inside the free-throw line area. That area is where Thomas is the most effective on the floor scoring at an efficient clip and not wasting possessions.
Thomas is a skilled jump shooter and that extends out to the NBA three-point line. He does a good job of getting open moving off the ball using his skill of cutting and moving along the baseline. The corner three is where Thomas is most effective like most shooters. He takes advantage of the short corner and can hit that shot with consistency.
Where Thomas is not as effective is in isolation opportunities. He is not a particularly skilled ball-handler in that setting which shows with his lower shooting percentage in isolations and the low 0.691 PPP in isolations.
On the court Thomas can play the three and the four when he is in shape. The combination of shooting and strength allow him to post smaller players while stepping out to stretch the floor as a four.
On the block Thomas has shown good foot-work to get himself open looks around the rim. He is favors his strong hand, the left, when finishing at the rim even in situations where the right is more traditional option.
His release is long and over the left shoulder shielding the defenders away from the ball. He is capable of getting his shot up on the block and in catch-and-shoot situations.
As a lefty shooter he has a very smooth and effortless stroke getting the ball up with ease. He does a good job getting open off the ball as a shooter stretching the floor.
It is not a floater or a hook shot, but Thomas has a left hand push shot that he hits consistently from 5-8 feet out that is tough to guard. He gets it out quickly and accurately.
On the glass Thomas is a very capable rebounder, but he plays on the perimeter on the offensive end limiting his opportunities on the offensive glass. On the defensive end Thomas frequently is defending the opponents four man giving him more chances to clean up misses. His strength and size allow him to get rebounds, but he is not a particularly skilled rebounder on either end.
Defensively Thomas is a liability and will need to be hidden in a scheme or system that does not expose Thomas to athletic three men or skilled four men on the block. He is a capable defender thanks to the system at Ohio State, but is not capable of defending the opposing teams first, second, or third options.
He plays the pick-and-roll well on the defensive end, which is a plus at the NBA level with the amount of plays ran through that set.
Overall Thomas is a quality prospect that is as diverse a scorer in this class as they come. He can score the ball in a variety of ways with the size and strength to play two positions. He is not a great defender or rebounder, but has the physical tools to improve in both aspects.

Diabetes Health Center
Type 2 Diabetes and Sleep
How Are Sleep Problems Diagnosed?
Your doctor will ask you about your sleep patterns, including whether you have trouble falling or staying asleep, are sleepy during the day, have difficulty breathing while asleep (including snoring), have pain in your legs, or move or kick your legs while sleeping.
Your doctor may refer you to a sleep specialist who may do a special sleep study called a polysomnogram to measure activity during sleep. The results of the sleep study can help your doctor make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe an effective and safe treatment.
How Are Sleep Problems Treated in Type 2 Diabetes?
There are several treatments for sleep problems in people with diabetes, depending on the condition:
Sleep Apnea
If you are diagnosed with sleep apnea, your doctor may suggest that you lose weight to help you breathe more easily.
Another potential treatment is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). With CPAP, patients wear a mask over their nose and/or mouth. An air blower forces air through the nose and/or mouth. The air pressure is adjusted so that it is just enough to prevent the upper airway tissues from collapsing during sleep. The pressure is constant and continuous. CPAP prevents airway closure while in use, but apnea episodes return when CPAP is stopped or is used improperly.
Peripheral Neuropathy
To treat the pain of peripheral neuropathy, your doctor may prescribe simple pain relievers such as aspirin or ibuprofen, antidepressants such as amitriptyline, or anticonvulsants such as Neurontin, Topamax, or Gabitril. Other treatments include Lyrica, lidocaine injections, or creams such as capsaicin.
Restless Legs Syndrome
Various medications are used to treat restless legs syndrome, including dopamine agents, sleeping aids, anticonvulsants, and pain relievers. Your doctor may also prescribe iron if you have low iron levels.
There are also several medications that treat insomnia, including:
- Over the counter drugs such as antihistamines including diphenhydramine (such as Benadryl). These drugs should be used short term and in conjunction with changes in sleep habits.
- Medications used to treat sleep problems such as Ambien, Belsomra, Sonata, and Lunesta.
- Benzodiazepines, medications that act on the brain and nerves to produce a calming effect, including Valium, Ativan, and Xanax.
- Antidepressants such as Serzone.
How Can I Improve my Sleep?
In addition to medications, recommendations to improve sleep are:
- Learn relaxation and breathing techniques.
- Listen to a relaxation or nature sounds CD.
- Get regular exercise, no later than a few hours before bedtime.
- Don't use caffeine, alcohol, or nicotine in the evening.
- Get out of bed and do something in another room when you can't sleep. Go back to bed when you're feeling drowsy.
- Use the bed only for sleeping and sexual activity. Don't lie in bed to watch TV or read. This way, your bed becomes a cue for sleeping, not for lying awake.

AURIESVILLE, N.Y. (AP) — An upstate New York shrine built on the birthplace of the Roman Catholic Church's first Native American saint is in need of hundreds of thousands of dollars in repairs.
Father George Belgarde, director of the Shrine of Our Lady of Martyrs Coliseum in Auriesville, tells the Daily Gazette of Schenectady (http://bit.ly/1h4QeXA ) that the structure capable of accommodating 10,000 pilgrims needs a new roof and windows, upgrades that could cost $600,000.
The shrine was built in 1930 on a hilltop overlooking the Mohawk River in Montgomery County, 35 miles northwest of Albany. The site was home to a Mohawk Indian village where Kateri Tekakwitha was born in the mid-17th century. She was canonized last year.
The Auriesville shrine is owned by the Jesuit order, which is launching a $1 million fundraiser in the spring.

DETROIT - The Detroit Red Wings will hold a special 'Relive the Rivalry' viewing party at PB's Sports Grille in St. Clair Shores (24301 Harper Ave.) on Wednesday, November 28. Festivities will begin at 6:30 p.m. with Detroit's unforgettable sudden-death victory over Colorado from March 26, 1997 set to be shown in its entirety beginning at 7:30 p.m. Arguably the peak of the teams' epic 1990's rivalry, the Red Wings and Avalanche combined to produce 11 goals and record 148 penalty minutes in this game.
Overtime hero Darren McCarty will be on hand to mingle with event patrons throughout the night. The 'Grind Line' member will also sign autographs for fans and engage in an interactive Q&A session about the memorable Hockeytown showdown that featured some of the greatest players in recent NHL history. Hosted by Red Wings play-by-play announcer Ken Kal, this event is open to fans of all ages.
Viewing party attendees will have the chance to win autographed Red Wings memorabilia by taking part in an evening-long trivia contest. A special food & drink combo featuring 20 chicken wings and a 22 ounce draught beer for only $11 will also be available to event patrons over the age of 21.
