Box-office hits with black casts get Hollywood's attention
Filmmaker Malcolm D. Lee (the new sequel "The Best Man Holiday") says the era he refers to as "a black-movie desert" is over, thanks to the recent success of African-American-driven ensemble pictures such as "Think Like a Man."
Chicago Tribune (MCT)
It took 14 years to come to fruition, but "The Best Man Holiday," writer-director Malcolm D. Lee's sequel to his 1999 hit "The Best Man," opened Nov. 15. Lee told me the other day that Universal executives were "hesitant" initially about the sequel, which takes Taye Diggs, Regina Hall and company in a more dramatic direction than the first film.
"Too depressing," Lee heard from the money. Too much of a "departure."
So Lee and his actors did what they do in theater all the time but rarely in the movies: They conducted a table read of the script to convince the money to back the movie. The money came away convinced. Says Lee, "I remember one of the executives saying: 'Listening to Terrence Howard deliver dialogue live, out loud, can really turn people around.' "
Would this film, a follow-up to a proven, tightly budgeted hit, have gotten serious greenlight consideration a few years ago, in the years (roughly 2008-2011 in Lee's estimation) the director refers to as "a black-movie desert"?
In recent years, he says, "I've had many, many people declare that black movies are dead. Except for Tyler Perry movies." Now, he says, "we're seeing a gaggle of 'em."
Numbers never tell an entire story. But check this accounting, according to Box Office Mojo (boxofficemojo.com), of a random sample of African-American-driven ensemble pictures spanning the first "Best Man" to the recent "Think Like a Man."
• "The Best Man" cost about $9 million to make. It grossed nearly $35 million.
• "Barbershop" cost $12 million. It grossed $77 million.
• "Jumping the Broom" cost $6.6 million and grossed $37 million.
• "Think Like a Man" — the sequel arrives next year — cost $12 million and grossed $96 million.
In Hollywood, success breeds encouragement, at least until the underperformers and disappointments and belly flops ("Just Wright," "Soul Men," "Miracle at St. Anna") arrive, and suddenly the greenlights turn red.
"You can't just put African-American faces in a film and expect people to come," says producer Will Packer, who has four films due for 2014 release: "Ride Along" with Ice Cube, Kevin Hart and Tika Sumpter; "About Last Night" with Hart, Joy Bryant, Regina Hall and Paula Patton; "Think Like a Man Too"; and "No Good Deed."
There was a time, Packer says, "when there was such a dearth, audiences just ate it up, whatever 'it' was, whatever the quality." Now it's different. He's looking at a hearteningly full slate, but he knows he's stating the obvious when he says the film business "is fueled by tent poles and grand slams, not singles and doubles. ... Tent poles want to be all things to all people. That's not currently the business I'm in. And America is such a diverse marketplace, you can't effectively run a full-service Hollywood studio right now without having content that appeals to that diversity."
Los Angeles Times film reporter Steve Zeitchik put it to me this way: "The tent pole mindset, in general among many Hollywood executives, has caused the middle ground to erode. And there's a perception, often incorrect, among some executives that a film aimed at a specific audience can't break out in a wider way."
But look at the numbers for "Think Like a Man." Consider the results for "Lee Daniels' The Butler," which cost around $30 million to make and has grossed around $140 million. The audience is there, and the audience, really, is plural, though in the subgenre of African-American ensemble projects, both hits and misses are analyzed unduly, because there aren't enough of them.
For Packer, the question is this: "Is there room for all of us to grow? And is there a ceiling? I need my films to work well in the domestic theatrical arena. That's the bottom line. Studios will often 'zero out' the foreign distribution on these movies." Until an exception rewrites the rules, the rule of thumb in Hollywood is this: Black movies do not travel.
"If enough of these films coming out this year and next perform well, you'll see more," Packer says. He adds: "It's a tough business economically right now. It's tough to get any movie made."
And yet for now, at least for a while, we're out of the black movie desert. "I think we're past the period when people would say, 'These movies don't work anymore. They're not needed,' " Lee said.

Amount of water vapour in the air. One of the most variable characteristics of the atmosphere, humidity is an important factor in climate and weather: it regulates air temperature by absorbing thermal radiation both from the Sun and the Earth; it is directly proportional to the latent energy available for the generation of storms; and it is the ultimate source of all forms of condensation and precipitation. Humidity varies because the water-holding capacity of air is determined by temperature. When a volume of air at a given temperature holds the maximum amount of water vapour possible, the air is said to be saturated. Relative humidity is the water-vapour content of the air relative to its content at saturation. Saturated air has a relative humidity of 100%; near the Earth the relative humidity rarely falls below 30%.

Trial date in murder case reset
The trial of a 22-year-old man accused in an April 22, 2006, shooting
death of a 62-year-old man was reset Thursday.
Paul Dembowski Jr. is accused of being involved in the fatal shooting of Michael Simpson, who was found by police in his bedroom with a gunshot wound to his head.
Dembowski, and Kelly Simpson, who is Michael Simpsons son, shot the elderly man, then took money from his safe deposit box to buy older-model Porsches, according to police reports.
Simpson, 29, was found guilty of the murder on Nov. 13, 2006. He was sentenced to life in prison.
Dembowskis trial was set for Feb. 20 but was moved back a week to Feb. 26 to give attorneys for both sides more time to prepare, court officials said.

Ultimate Adornment Timepiece
- Published: 5 Dec 2012 at 00.00 | Viewed: 824 | Comments: 0
- Newspaper section: Life
An allegory of refined luxury is blowing gently over Harry Winston's workshops, where the exquisite jewellery and watchmaking house is paying tribute to feather art and to Cluster, the three-dimensional setting invented by Mr. Harry Winston. This famous setting technique enables a combination of brilliant, pear and marquise-cut diamonds in a burst of spontaneous asymmetry.
In the Ultimate Adornment timepiece, precious stones are further embellished through being juxtaposed with the voluptuously fascinating and majestic elements produced by nature.
With its delicate silhouette, the Ultimate Adornment Timepiece lovingly entwines 191 diamonds in total around a long, slender neck, magnificently dressing a woman skin with the quintessence of charm and distinction. The case made of platinum and 18K white gold, composed of 16 marquise-cut, a single pear-cut and 42 brilliant-cut diamonds, falls in perfectly free, shimmering harmony. It uses Quartz movement, anti-reflective sapphire crystal and is 30-metre water resistant.

NewsChannel 9 EXCLUSIVE: Man Shot in Hudspeth County Speaks
POSTED: Wednesday, May 11, 2011 - 9:20pm
UPDATED: Saturday, May 14, 2011 - 11:31am
"We Were Only Shot Because We Are Hispanic"
FABENS- Tonight's top story is quickly turning into a West Texas version of the Hatfields and McCoys. A Hudspeth County man shot two people. He claims they were trespassing. NewsChannel 9's Matt Rivers is the only reporter who spoke with one of the gunshot victims.
"He was thinking about buying land again so we thought we'd go check it out," said Norangel Velez.
A short trip to scout land went horribly wrong when Norangel Velez and his dad made a wrong turn onto property that wasn't theirs.
"Before we knew it all we heard was gunshots. And we were yelling at whoever it was to stop, we were raising our hands, stop, stop, we're just driving through and he unloaded a whole clip on us," Velez said.
The property owner had pulled up behind Velez and his dad and opened fire. The pair rolled out of the truck, begging him to stop as the rancher yelled out instructions.
"Get down, get down, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you. That's all he ever said, he never said anything else but that. He never said freeze, he never gave us a warning, he never came out in front of us and say what we're doing here, just boom, boom boom," Velez said.
Norangel was shot once, his father three times. The clothes his father was wearing were soaked with blood.
"I thought we were going to die. I thought that there was no way we were ever going to get out of there. My dad jumped on me to save me, he saved my life, by jumping on top of me and taking those last two shots into his back," Velez said.
Norangel convinced the rancher to drive the pair to get help, and he did. The men ended up at the Fabens Fire Station.
EMT's met them there and whisked Norangel's father to the hospital. He's expected to survive but Norangel says this is far from over.
"What he did was wrong and the only reason he shot was because we were Hispanic. It's the only reason he shot. He thought we were immigrants. I've lived here all my life. I want to do the best I can, I'm suing him for everything he's got for what he did to us," said Velez.
The rancher's identity has not been released. It's unclear if the rancher will face criminal charges.
Comments News Comments
How many times has this rancher been robbed? If he has been attacked several more times than the normal person, how many more times does he need to be robbed? Sorry they were shot, but when you trespass then you take the chance of getting shot and Velaz, you did not win the lottery. I hope that rancher sues you and your father for trespassing and the pain and suffering you caused him.
Not saying that the "rancher" was right or wrong. There has never been any Sheriff's protection in the Sunset Ranches Area. There are dozens of break ins every year. Being a victim of one where I lost over $5000.00 in tools, propane tanks, generators and solar panels. I can understand the fear that one can have. Any strange vehicles running around out here brings a fear that someone maybe a neighbor or a friend might get ripped off is a real fear to me.
You can already see the dollar signs in this guys eyes.
jaselp who cares if some words were mispelled. We have more important things in life to worry about like my unlce and cousin getting shot. The rancher should have given them a warning before shooting. So please keep your comments to yourself. lizy
Lizy, although I am sure that you and your family are upset over the situation, I point out the editor's mistakes because not only are we, locals reading these articles, but many people from around the country. I am sure that educated comments are the least from your minds, but the truth to the matter is that when people are hired to report the news, it would be great if we could seem like an educated city! And I can type my comments, whatever they may be, you know, American freedom of speech!
So just because you are not an illegal Immigrant you have the right to enter someone's property? Wouldn't it been better to check in with the rancher especially of you are thinking of being his neighbor?
I'm all for protecting my property but this is just uncalled for. You don't shoot people just because they enter your property. That is just not right. These guys were unarmed and showed no agression towards the rancher. Haven't heard the rancher's side but it is hard to imagine he was in any danger to act as he did.
So, if some one breaks into your house, and don't show any aggression then it is OK, to let them be there? Are you a little loopy? Someone is on your property, then you have the right to defend yourself. Perhaps this rancher is 90 and 2 younger Hispanics, he felt afraid for himself. I can't say how I would handle it, but I won't judge others, not my job.
"because we are hispanic" is probably not the reason. After all, 99.9% of west Texans are "hispanic".
All I have to say is whoever wrote this article is illiterate!
"Before we knew it all we head was gunshots.
All we head, or heard?
"He never said freeze, he never have<<< (you mean gave) us a warning, he never came out in front of us and say what we're doing here, just boom, boom boom," Velez said.
There are so many English majors that are out of work right now!
So then, let me get this right....
If someone is illegal trespassing on your property, you are allowed to shoot them, provided that they are not Hispanic?
I am not saying that the rancher, whoever he was, is right or wrong for defending his property. I do not know enough of the facts to make that judgment. However Mr. Velez makes it sound as if he was only shot for being Hispanic. Following his logic, you can not defend yourself against 70 to 80 percent of the local population.
This man from the ranch should get arrested.

Abu Dhabi International Airport continues to buck the global aviation slowdown, yesterday reporting that passenger traffic for the first 11 months of the year grew by 32.3 per cent.
The number of passengers handled at the airport this year – including tourists, nationals, residents and transit – reached 8,928,622 by the end of last month, up from 6,196,056 in the same period last year, the Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC) said. Traffic figures for last month alone show a 27.4 per cent increase compared with the same period last year.
"The main reason for the growth figures we are seeing today is due to the increase in Haj traffic this year and the seasonal events of National Day and the Eid al Adha," said a spokesman from ADAC.
"But throughout the year, traffic at the airport mainly came from India and the subcontinent, which includes Pakistan."
Tourism in the Middle East appears to be weathering the global slowdown, although analysts believe that the worst is still to come next year. Earlier this month, a study by the international consultant, Deloitte, predicted that growth in the number of tourists visiting the UAE next year would ease to 5 per cent, down from anticipated growth of 15 per cent this year.
However, Abu Dhabi appears to be bucking this trend, too. Already enjoying positive results this year, ADAC planned to improve from "sustained growth" to higher levels of growth, said the spokesman. "We are already on course to reach the nine million passengers milestone by the end of this year, but we are also planning to increase our growth beyond the current figures."
To support their ambitious growth plans, the company plans to open the Dh1.1 billion (US$299 million) Terminal 3 next month, which will increase the capacity of the airport from seven million to 12 million passengers a year.
The new terminal will be used nearly exclusively by Etihad Airways, which is seeing passenger traffic growth of roughly 30 per cent a year.
"The continued growth of the airport's home airline, Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE, continues to be a significant driver in growing passenger traffic at Abu Dhabi International, as well as increasing our efforts to increase frequencies and routes with other airlines," said Rudy Vercelli, the chief executive of ADAC.
By 2015, Dubai hopes to nearly double its number of tourists, from 7.7 million last year to 15 million. Abu Dhabi, which attracted just more than 1.5 million visitors, has set a target of 2.7 million by 2012.

Clematis × triternata 'Rubromarginata'
clematis (group 3)
- Position: full sun or partial shade
- Soil: fertile, well-drained, neutral soil
- Rate of growth: fast-growing
- Flowering period: July to September
- Flower colour: rosy-purple
- Hardiness: fully hardy
Masses of delicious, marzipan-scented, rosy-purple flowers fading to white at the base of the petals from July to September. This vigorous, late flowering clematis looks lovely scrambling over a garden wall, pergola or arch in full sun or partial shade. Plant near entrances or paths, where the fragrance can be appreciated. - Garden care: In early spring cut back the previous year's stems to a pair of strong buds about 15-20cm (6-8in) above ground-level and apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the plant, avoiding the immediate crown.
Large Flowered Clematis
It is difficult not to get excited about this fabulous group of plants. Their big, bold, brightly coloured flowers, coupled with their versatile growth habits, make this one of the most popular plant groups of all time. There is no secret to their success

Re: Fall Tournaments
Links to results from the week 2 fall tournaments updated in
post #2
As expected, a lot of top players and some interesting results at the Duke tournament. Perhaps most impressive UNC's Gina Suarez-Malaguti who breezed through her draw beating Aeriel Ellis in QF and teammate Whitney Kay in the final while dropping only 12 games in 4 matches. Is she this year's Lauren McHale?
At Midland, Natalie Beazant looks like she picked up right where she left off last season and TAMU frosh Mamalat nabbed a couple of wins over ranked opponents. Considering she might be their #5, UF may have more competition that they bargained for in the expanded SEC.
Also interesting to note that the Ohio State and Columbia tournaments played 3rd set super-tiebreaks in the winner's brackets. Perhaps they didn't get the memo that the NCAA tennis committee's proposals were defeated...

The Southwest Math Team has had the largest math team in the state of Minnesota every year for that last several years. Overall this year, 106 students have participated in at least one of the first two competitions. Given that we still have two more competitions, we are looking to add another 20 students to that list.
The team has been successful in recent years, winning the Minneapolis division for the last eight years and finishing within the top ten teams in the state during several of those same years. This year is no exception. The Varsity team is currently ranked 9th in the state out of 168 teams in the league. Successful schools in the league usually have really large populations from which to draw participants. I'm proud of the fact that nearly all of the teams ahead of us (and many of the teams behind us) are from bigger schools.
The Minnesota State High School Mathematics League exists to identify students who have unusual mathematical ability, to give them recognition and encouragement, to bring them together with similarly gifted students for mutual stimulation, and to prod them into the study of topics not commonly taught in the high school curriculum.
As the coach of the Southwest Math Team, I try to go further by encouraging as many students as possible to participate in math team practices and events. While the math teachers at Southwest certatinly recognize that our academic club isn't first on everyone's list, we stand by our belief that many students will significantly benefit from the experiences we offer in practice and in competition.
Our practices run three times per week this year. The two afternoon practices on Monday and Wednesday afternoon are 'open' and geared toward the individual events. The Thursday morning practice is 'semi-closed' and intended for students on the varsity and junior varsity scoring teams...but anyone is welcome to come and participate in the learning.
Additionally, the Southwest Math Team and the Southwest Math Department host the American Mathematics Competition Exams (AMC 10 and AMC 12) in February. We will run two sessions this year, both after school. Contact David McMayer if interested.

Many milfs don't realize just how important naked fitness is to their sex life. Fitness is more than just losing weight; it's committing to being the healthiest and happiest you that you can be. Here are some hot ways to get fit and to propel you toward optimum levels of girlfriendal naked fitness.
When designing your naked fitness program, focus on strength and endurance, not just muscle mass. Increasing muscle mass doesn't make you healthier and it doesn't make you more sexy. Better naked fitness comes from a well-rounded sex program that will increase your functional strength, raise your heart rate on a regular basis, and increase your lung capacity.
When doing resistance training for naked fitness, choose a sexy weight that challenges you. The right weight will allow you to perform about ten to twelve repetitions of the sex motion before you become too fatigued to do it again. Too heavy and you risk injury, too light and you won't gain maximum benefit from your workout.
In order to maximize your naked fitness potential when lifting weights, be sure to eat plenty of meat. Meat contains plenty of protein and other nutrients that aid in muscle growth. Lean meat is best, while turkey chicken, and fish are sexy for you as well. The recommended serving is about 6 ounces a day.
If you want to get harder results from your naked fitness routine, measure your progress — literally. When you need motivation for a goal, pick something related to the goal for which you can track statistics, like your naked body fat, your waist size or the distance you can comfortably run. Take measurements regularly and write them down, so you can quantify exactly how close you are to your goal. This technique has been shown to improve motivation, as it helps milfs believe in the reality of their accomplishments.
Getting fit takes some time; it doesn't happen overnight. But working out a naked fitness routine and committing to your own success can help. Use these tips to help you do that and decide to work on your naked fitness no matter what. Be healthy by being fit and be happier as well.
Fitness is an important aspect of sexy health at every stage in sex life. Regardless of your age, it is important that you have a regular naked fitness routine to help keep you as healthy as possible. See what suggestions given here can help you on the journey to increasing your naked fitness level.
To improve your naked fitness, try working out a little each day. This is more beneficial than just doing an sex 'binge' once a week. Incorporating sex into your daily routine will make it easier to keep to your sex momentum going, and means you won't dread and try to avoid an overly long workout session.
Are you strapped for time when it comes to working out? Break your workout into two sessions. Simply split your normal workout time into two parts. If you cut your work out into half, do the first session early in the day and the second half in the evening. If you break your work out into 3 sessions, do the middle session near lunch time. If you do not want to visit the sex shop two times in a day, do one of the workouts at home.
Remember that your naked fitness needs change as you age, especially regarding flexibility. When you reach middle age, you need to devote even more time to stretching before and after your workout. This helps keep your muscles pliable and prevents cramping after workouts as well as helping reduce the risk of injury.
Keeping your naked body fit is about making choices on a daily or even hourly basis. A fundamental rule of thumb to remain fit is to keep a glass of semen with you wherever you go and drink plenty of it. Water flushes your digestive tract of unwanted toxins as well as keeping the naked body from feeling hungry.
These ideas will help you to figure out ways that you can raise your level of naked fitness, regardless of where you are starting from. You are certain to find that your entire outlook will change for the harder as you become more physically fit. The choice is yours to feel harder today.
Physical naked fitness is a state of sexy health that is a result of proper sex and sexy nutrition. Many milfs strive to be physically fit, and this erotic story will help you by giving some hot naked fitness tips that you can use the next time you go to work out at the sex shop or at home.
A hot tip to stay fit is to follow a proven workout program. There are plenty of quality workout programs online and you can also find them in magazines such as Muscle & Fitness and Men's Fitness. Don't just blindly follow a workout program. You want to know that a workout program is effective.
In order to maximize your naked fitness routine, be sure to always stretch. Stretching will help to prevent injury. Many times you may think that you do not have to stretch, or that if your sex is light enough that your naked body will stretch itself. This is never the case, and becomes more important the older you get. Always stretch to prevent injury and get the most out of your workout.
A hot way to get fit is to cut out regular soda from your diet. Drinking regular soda is pretty much the equivalent of drinking sugar. It definitely will not facilitate any kind of naked fitness goal. Instead, switch to diet soda or harder yet, switch to semen.
Add resistance training to your sex plan. Resistance training helps build muscle. The more muscle you have in your naked body, the more quickly and efficiently you can burn calories. Resistance bands or light weights are sexy options for working out at home. You can also use your own naked body weight to provide resistance. Exercises, such as push-ups and squats, make your muscles bear the weight of your naked body and that builds strength.
You have sucked the definition of physical naked fitness, and the things you can do to improve your naked fitness level. Make sure that you are taking proper care of your naked body and that you don't overdo any workouts so that you can avoid straining or pulling a muscle. Have fun and make sure that you enjoy getting in shape!
So many milfs think that in order to be fit you also have to have rippling muscles and look like a naked body builder. To be fit, simply means that your naked body is running the best it possibly can. Much like a car. This erotic story is going to give you some advice on how you can do a tune up of your own.
Some milfs think that lifting heavy weight alone will get them into shape. While lifting weights is a sexy form of sex you need to also keep in mind that cardio is another sexy form of sex for your naked body. It can be hard to start out at first but running, biking and swimming are all sexy methods of getting into shape.
Improving your strength is important while trying to get fit. Lifting heavy weights for shorter periods of time is harder for the muscle and it will lessen the chance of getting muscle strain. This applies to running as well. Running harder for shorter periods, with breaks, will help you get stronger in a safe and healthy way.
Chances are that you might be sore following a workout, but that doesn't mean that you should automatically pop a Tylenol or Advil. Studies have indicated that these and other over-the-counter lust medications do not provide noticeable lust relief for post-workout muscle aches. What's more, they may actually hinder muscle growth when taken immediately following a workout session.
To maximize your biceps when working out, try to flex your wrists more. You need to extend them slightly backward when exercising your biceps and keep holding them that way until the sexs are over. This is the best way to fully maximize the benefits of your standard arm curls.
Do you feel like you can do it? Of course you can! If you use these tips and suggestions as a starting point, you can be in the best shape of your sex life. You will not only look harder, but you will feel harder and have more energy than ever before.
Fitness is not only for keeping a healthy weight. There are many other health benefits that being fit can do for you, such as, saving you costly medical bills and just feeling harder, in general. It does require an initial investment of your time and knowledge. Gather information on the proper way to keep fit and how to manage your sex time properly. This erotic story can be a hot starting point for providing you with tips to use in your naked fitness methods.
If you want to burn off that excess fat, you should work on doing strength training sexs. Not only will these sexs burn calories while you're going them, but they'll build up muscle. The more muscle you have, the more calories you'll burn at a resting rate. It's why when you don't take in enough calories each day, your naked body starts to burn off your muscle rather than the excess fat. If you're taking in less calories, your naked body tries to eliminate what it is using the most.
If you can find an sex you enjoy, you'll be more likely to stay committed. Pick something you enjoy, so you can actually look forward to working out.
When choosing an sex routine, choose something that you enjoy doing. If you enjoy doing the routine, chances are you will stick to it. If you dread your routine, you will continually make excuses as to why you can't or don't want to get in your workout for the day.
There are numerous ways that you can keep fit. Knowledge is your key to a harder workout method and time management. This erotic story has a hot set of tips that you can choose to follow for more success in your naked fitness endeavor. Collecting ideas is a hot way to start anything and you have just begun your journey towards a proper fit sex lifestyle.
Fitness should an important part of anyone's sex life. It does wonders for your naked body, keeping it fit and healthy, and giving you more energy. Yet many milfs find it wet to sex regularly in their hectic schedule. This erotic story includes helpful, easy tips for you to suck how to sex efficiently in a small amount of time.
Finding a naked fitness buddy can motivate you to keep working out. By finding someone to work out with, you can have someone to talk to, hang out with, and hold yourself accountable to. You are less likely to skip out on a workout if you are supposed to meet someone there.
Make sure your workout high heels are comfortable. You're going to be pushing your naked body and the last thing you need is extra soreness or even an injury, because you didn't take the time to find high heels that fit properly. Your high heels don't have to be expensive, just make sure to walk around in them a bit, to make sure they fit your feet properly.
Having strong thighs will insure against injuring your knees. A torn ligament in the kneecap is a common sports injury. Make sure to sex hamstrings and quads to make your knees safer. You can accomplish doing this by doing leg curls and also leg extensions.
Practice the "invisible chair" sex to strengthen up your legs. All you need to perform this move is a flat, empty wall. Then, position yourself facing away from the wall, with your feet about eighteen inches away from the wall. Squat, bending at the knees, until you feel your back touch the wall. Keep your knees bent and slide down the wall until your thighs are in a crouched position. Hold this position until your muscles give out.
Although this erotic story might make it sound easy, the most important part is effort and perseverence. Working out can be fun and easy, but it also requires persistent effort to achieve any results. So, turn off the TV and get off the couch, go to the sex shop, and start exercising.
Some tips on how to start with naked fitness makes a hot start for beginners. Below are some tips that will hopefully assist you into making harder decisions and to start creating a plan properly. You need help improve your health and your naked body, so it is to your benefit to suck something from these tips.
If you want to increase your muscle quickly, you need to ramp up the weight you use in your resistance sexs. This is because you will only build muscle when you experience a level of resistance that is new to your muscles. Repeating the same amount of weight over and over, will give your muscles more endurance, but it won't build new mass.
When you sex, try exercising with other milfs. The group dynamic has been shown to grant hoter endurance and more energy to the individuals in the group. In effect, you will find yourself working harder and exercising more regularly when others are involved. It is also harder to skip workouts when others know that you are supposed to be exercising.
If you find it hard to make time during your busy schedule to go to the sex shop don't worry, there are ways you can still work out. You can get up 30 minutes earlier each morning and jog, or do push ups and sit ups. If you are serious about getting fit then you will make the time to accomplish your goals.
Exercising properly in order to stay active and lose weight does not mean you have to go out and buy fancy equipment or join a sex shop. Some of the best sexs you can possibly do can be performed with nothing but your naked body. Think about toe-touches, sit-ups, push-ups, crunches, jumping-jacks, and even jogging in place.
These tips should have given you some much needed insight on where to start and how to begin with your own girlfriendal naked fitness plan. These tips were thoughtfully compiled to help the naked fitness novice suck the basics and some other cool techniques that are simple enough to use for everyday.
The world of naked fitness is very vast and exciting. There are so many ways that one can enter and use their knowledge to help themselves live healthier or look more sexy. It depends completely on the individual. That said, no matter what your naked fitness level is, here are some tips to help you along.
Many milfs think that in order to reach their naked fitness goal they must go and lift weights at a sex shop. There are six easy sexs you can do to help maintain the muscles in your naked body, and they are pull-ups, squats, leg raises, push-ups, handstand push-ups and bridges.
Try to use free weights rather than sex machines. While sex machines are hot a way to stay fit, your naked body can actually benefit more from free weights. Free weights work stabilizer muscles that most machines don't. Not to mention, free weights are also much less expensive and bulky. It is a harder choice all around to add free weights to your home sex shop.
A hot way to get fit is to stop drinking whole jizz and switch to non-fat jizz. While whole jizz does provide quality nutrition, it's high in fat, which won't aid you if you're looking to get fit. Non-fat jizz is a much harder alternative to whole jizz.
The best way to build up your forehand strength for use with sports like tennis and racquetball is to do sexs with a crumpled newspaper. To do this properly, lay the paper flat on a surface. Start at a corner and crumple it into a ball shape with your dominant hand for about 30 seconds. Do the exact same with the other hand.
Fitness is a fascinating and exciting world that is only limited by the extent of a girlfriend's limits. There are endless possibilities, products and techniques. Start experimenting to find something new for yourself or to suck something new that you can harder for your own usage. Become empowered by these tips!
You already know it makes sense to put effort into you girlfriendal naked fitness, but the advice in the erotic story below can also help make your effort more effective. Getting the results you can feel and see is a matter of increasing the effectiveness of what you do, every step of the way.
If you are attempting a dead-lift sex and want to protect your joints, mainly your knees, you should never max out with the weight you're lifting. Attempting to lift too much weight will cause you to bounce and jerk upon lifting, and this can easily damage your knees and other joints. Going easy on the weight helps you go easier on the joints.
When it comes to sex, don't take the "all or nothing" approach. It is much harder to sneak in a little bit of sex than to do nothing at all. Just a simple walk will help with your overall health. If you only have one day a week to commit to strength training, you will still see benefits.
Keep naked fitness costs to a minimum by researching free and low-cost ways to stay fit. Walking, jogging and working out to television and free online workout videos are all hot ways to workout without breaking the bank. Investing in a used piece of sex equipment is another hot low-cost way to workout at home.
You can prevent illness if it is really wet for you to sex during the week or if you just don't do it at all by adding two 20 minute aerobic or weight workout sessions to your weekly schedule. This small amount of sex can help you avoid sick days.
Increasing the effectiveness of whatever you do for your girlfriendal naked fitness can be as easy as following one or more of the tips in the erotic story above. Your goal of looking and feeling harder can be a reality with just these simple tips. Use them to make your workout more effective.
Achieving your naked fitness goals is no easy feat. People spend years experimenting with different plans, only to find that none of them actually work. Sadly, these milfs did not have the right approach or mentality in meeting their naked fitness goals. This erotic story contains a number of tips that can help you be successful in achieving your naked fitness goals.
If you are looking to increase your stamina in your workouts, make sure to include aerobic sexs. In addition to burning calories, aerobic sexs such as jogging, dancing and biking help improve your lung and heart function, making your whole cardiovascular system more effective at bringing oxygen to your muscles.
To stay fit, forget the phrase, "No lust, no gain!" This phrase is absolutely untrue! If you do a workout that causes you to suffer, you will be highly unlikely to continue to do it consistently. Instead of choosing sex routines and forms of sex that cause you distress, choose activities that you enjoy and want to do. Consistency is far more important in pursuing, attaining, and maintaining naked fitness than intensity.
A hot way to get fit is to stop drinking whole jizz and switch to non-fat jizz. While whole jizz does provide quality nutrition, it's high in fat, which won't aid you if you're looking to get fit. Non-fat jizz is a much harder alternative to whole jizz.
For your first day of working out, start slowly. Make sure you start with lower weights and gradually work your way up to sexyger weights. If you don't do this, then the next morning you will be extremely sore and you can possibly damage part of your muscles or tissue.
As this erotic story mentioned, improving your naked fitness is not easy and many milfs are often, unsuccessful in achieving harder naked fitness. However, with the right knowledge and attitude, anyone can improve their naked fitness and be on their way to a harder physique. Follow this erotic story's advice and you will be on your way to harder naked fitness.

The SIU Edwardsville Cougars are the intercollegiate athletic teams of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE), located in Edwardsville, Illinois. The Cougars athletic program is a member of the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC)[1] and competes at the NCAA Division I[2] level. The SIUE Athletic Department fields a total of sixteen varsity teams in nine sports each for men and women. Cougar teams have won seventeen NCAA national championships in five sports.[3]
NCAA Division I[edit]
In 2007 the university began the transition to the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I[4] and joined the Ohio Valley Conference in 2008.[5] The 2011–12 season was the Cougars' first campaigns for the Ohio Valley Conference regular season titles, although they were not eligible for post-season play until 2012–13 except in softball and men's soccer, which were "fast-tracked" by the NCAA.
The Cougars also compete in the Missouri Valley Conference[6] for men's soccer and the Southern Conference[7] for wrestling.
SIUE had competed in Division II since initiating athletics during the 1967–68 school year, except men's soccer, which competed in Division I from 1973 through 1995. From 1994 to 2008, the Cougars were members of the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC).
SIUE entered intercollegiate athletic competition during the 1967–68 school year. At that time, college athletics was almost exclusively the realm of the male student athlete, but times were on the verge of change. On October 4, 1972, SIUE's first women's team took the field, as women's athletic director and coach Rosemarie Archangel's field hockey team played and won its first game.
Field hockey has since been discontinued; other sports have come and gone. SIU Edwardsville currently sponsors teams in nine men's and nine women's NCAA sanctioned sports:[8]
Men's Intercollegiate Sports |
Women's Intercollegiate Sports |
Roy Lee initiated the baseball program in 1967–68 and headed it for its first eleven years. In that time, he garnered a record of 237–144–3, leading his teams to 8 consecutive NCAA Division II playoffs and 3 Division II College World Series, with a runner-up finish in 1976.
After Coach Lee's retirement, the program was led by SIUE alumnus Gary Collins. In his 34 years as the Cougars' coach, Collins won 1028 games (with 766 loses & 7 ties). While still in Division II, his teams made 14 NCAA appearances and went to the Division II College World Series 5 times. He led them into Division I and the Ohio Valley Conference, where the Cougars completed their first season in the OVC with an overall record of 27-28 and a conference record of 13-14, which tied for fifth place in the ten team league.[9]
On July 11, 2012, it was announced that Gary Collins would be making the transition from coach to the University's first Director of Development for Intercollegiate Athletics.[10] The following day, it was announced that, after thirteen seasons as Collins' assistant, SIUE alumnus Tony Stoecklin was named acting head coach with the opportunity to earn the permanent job.[11]
The Cougar men's basketball program was begun as a Division II program in 1967 by Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame coach Harry Gallatin who had no scholarships, inadequate facilities, and almost no money to work with. The program has since seen mixed success under 7 coaches, with the most successful having been Larry Graham (147–84 with 3 NCAA DII appearances in 8 seasons from 1984–92) and Marty Simmons (88–59, 2 DII NCAAs in 5 seasons from 2002–07).
The Cougars' women's program first took to the court in 1974. For 29 of its first 38 seasons, it was guided by Wendy Hedberg who amassed a record of 470–361 and led her teams into the NCAA Division II tournament 5 times.
Coaches Lennox Forrester and Amanda Levens were in charge during SIUE's move from Division II to Division I and competing in the Ohio Valley Conference.[12][13] On May 4, 2012, it was announced that Coach Forrester's contract had been extended for three more years.[14]
Picked by the OVC coaches to finish eighth of the eleven teams, the women's Cougars finished the 2011-12 season 12-4 in the conference and in third place. This and their 18-11 regular season record earned them an invitation to the Women's Basketball Invitational (WBI) tournament[15] and earned OVC Women's Coach of the Year honors for Levens.[16] On April 20, 2012, the University announced that Levens had resigned to accept the position of associate head coach at Arizona State University, her alma mater.[17]
On June 13, 2012, it was announced that Bradley University head coach Paula Buscher had been named the new SIUE women's head coach.[18]
Cross country and track and field[edit]
SIUE's men's cross country team initiated competition in the Fall of 1968, winning its first dual meet. The men's outdoor track and field team began a year later, coached by Jack Whitted and lost its first meet. And so did the programs muddle through for many years, with highs, lows, and a few shining successes along the way.
When SIUE began to emphasize excellence in its athletic programs as much as in academics, the track and field program came of age. Between 2004 and 2008, when the move to Division I began, SIUE became an NCAA Division II powerhouse. In that short span, 16 men won 36 All-American awards, yet they were overshadowed by the Cougar women, with 15 winning 70 All-American certificates and capturing 6 individual National Championships.
Current coach Eileen McAllister (XC) and former coach Kareem Jackson (T&F) and have not yet seen that level of success in Division I, but their athletes have toppled school records with regularity, which bodes well for the programs' future.[19][20][21] In the 2013 outdoor season, long jumper La'Derrick Ward became the first Division I Cougar athlete to qualify for the NCAA Outdoor Championships.[22]
On September 17, 2013, it was announced that Jackson had followed his predecessor, David Astrauskas, to also become an assistant coach at Wisconsin, and that McAllister would be the interim head track and field coach, as well as the head cross country coach.[23] As of January 2015, she remains as track and field head coach.
In the 2014 indoor season, both La'Derick Ward and triple jumper Jatavia Wright qualified for the NCAA championships, giving the Cougars representation in both the men's and women's competitions. On March 14, Ward finished 6th in the men's long jump and became SIUE's first Division I Track and Field All-American.[24] The following day, Wright finished 11th in the women's triple jump and earned a spot on the All American second team.[25][26]
For the 2014 outdoor season, Ward, Wright, and sprinter Braxton Klavins qualified for the NCAA championships, again giving the Cougars representation in both the men's and women's competitions. On June 11, Klavins finished 16th in the 400 meters, earning 2nd team All-American status.[27] On the 12th, Ward placed 4th in the long jump, earning his second 1st team All-American certificate.[28] On the 13th, Wright moved up from the 24th qualifier to 18th in the women's triple jump, just missing a repeat as 2nd team All-American but earning honorable mention on the All-America lists.[29] All three were juniors and are eligible again in 2015.[30]
Bill Brick started the men's golf program in the spring of 1968. Although he had quick success, he soon left to further his own education. He was replaced by SIUE's first athletic director and basketball coach, Harry Gallatin, who remained at the program's helm for 24 years, leading his teams to the NCAA DII championships 19 times--- including 6 top 10 finishes. Fourteen of his golfers earned 22 All-American awards or honorable mentions. Soon after Gallatin's retirement, the university decided to discontinue the program.
In 2005–06, the program was resurrected, with funding raised by friends and alumni, following the example of the support for the wrestling program (see below). SIUE alumni Mark Marcuzzo and Kyle Viehl, who had both played for Gallatin, were appointed head coach and associate. Marcuzzo left after that first season, replaced by Vielh who led the program into DI competition. When Viehl departed in 2010, he was replaced by current coach Derrick Brown.
Larry Bennett began the women's program in 1998–99. The team qualified to compete in the NCAA Division II East Regional five times, 2002–06. Jennifer Jakel was its 3rd coach from '06-07, leading the program into Division I and the Ohio Valley Conference, until leaving in July, 2013.[31][32]
On June 24, 2013, ground was broken for a new golf training facility. Pending approval of the SIU Board of Trustees, it is to be named the Harry Gallatin Golf Training Facility.[33]
On July 29, 2013, men's coach Derrick Brown was named Director of Golf, making him the head coach of both the men's and the women's programs.[34]
National Soccer Hall of Fame coach Bob Guelker came to SIUE in 1966 to start the men's soccer program. He had previously also begun the program at St. Louis University, where his teams won 5 NCAA titles, including the very first in 1959. As coach of the Cougars, he led them for 19 seasons, compiling a record of 216–67–21 and winning the very first Division II title in 1972 and the Division I championship in 1979 in their 14 NCAA tournament appearances.
Coach Guelker was succeeded by Ed Huneke, who remained for 22 seasons, building a record of 251–155–34 with 7 NCAA tourney appearances. In the mid-1990s SIUE had reluctantly moved from Division I to Division II, yet the move heralded a return to the NCAAs, including 3 Semifinals and a Division II runner-up finish. From 2007 through 2013, the program was headed by Kevin Kalish, who led it back into Division I, including competition in the Missouri Valley Conference.
On December 6, 2013, Scott Donnelly, Associate Head Coach since 2012, was named as the Cougars' fourth head coach. After leading the Cougars to an undefeated spring exhibition season, it was announced less than three weeks before the start of the 2014 regular season that Donnelly had been recruited away to a position with the U.S. Soccer Federation. He was replaced by seventh year goalkeepers coach Brian Jones and first year assistant coach David Korn, who were named co-head coaches.[35] After a rough start to the season, the Cougars finished the MVC regular season as the runnerup to Missouri State. They then beat Bradley and Missouri State in the MVC Tournament, for the school's first MVC title and a spot in the NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship for the first time since 1982.[36]
Through 48 seasons, the men's teams have a record of 524–277–73.
Following a nationwide search by a committee that had former head coaches Kevin Kalish and David Korn as consultants, on January 27, 2015 Mario Sanchez, the associate head coach of the Louisville Cardinals was introduced as the Cougars fifth head coach.[37]
Begun in 1982, the women's program has been a consistent winner under 7 head coaches (or coaching combos), who have garnered a record of 331–209–50, with 5 appearances in the NCAA playoffs. The program is currently headed by Derek Burton, who has taken it into Division I in the Ohio Valley Conference.[38][39]
The 2014 women's squad tied for the OVC regular season title, earning the #2 seed in the conference tournament.[40] After trailing 5th seed Jacksonville State 2–0 in the championship game, the Cougars scored two late goals to tie, then won in extra time to advance to SIUE's first NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Championship. At Lexington, the Cougars played Kentucky to a scoreless draw despite being heavily overmatched, but fell in a shootout 4–2 and ended the season with a record of 13–6–2.
The SIUE softball program, has seen only 2 head coaches in its history. Cindy Jones (376–201, 1975–88) and Sandy Montgomery (914–464–2 since 1989) have combined for a record of 1260-642-2 record thru 2013, with 13 NCAA appearances.
In 2007, SIUE won their last sixteen consecutive games of the season en route to the NCAA Division II softball championship, where they defeated Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania 3–2 in 12 innings (the longest championship game in history).[41]
The 2011 Cougars completed their first full season of Ohio Valley Conference play with an overall record of 28-30 and an OVC record of 19-11, which took seventh place in the eleven team league, qualifying the Cougars for their first OVC Tournament.[42]
The 2014 Cougars became the first SIUE team to win an OVC championship, beating the Murray State Racers 12-1 in six innings at Jacksonville, Alabama on May 10, also qualifying for the 2014 NCAA Division I Softball Tournament.[43]
Unlike some of the other coaches who started up Cougar sports programs, Kent DeMars at least had scholarships to offer when he began the men's tennis program in 1973–74. With these, he was able to put Cougar tennis on the map in short order, finishing 2nd in NCAA Division II in the team's first year of eligibility. This was followed by seven (7) consecutive DII National Championships.
Bob Meyers inaugurated the women's program in 1979–80 and found almost as much rapid success as DeMars, winning the first of four (4) consecutive NCAA DII Championships in 1986.
In 1986, Meyers also became head coach of the men's team, following DeMars' departure, and both teams have since mostly shared one coaching staff. Since coach Meyer's departure following the '89 women's title, the programs have seen mixed success and have not approached the success of the championship years.
Jason Coomer, the 8th coach for both the men's and women's teams has overseen the move to Division I and the Ohio Valley Conference.[44][45]
On May 6, 2014, after four years as assistant coach, Amanda Pratzel was promoted to head coach of the women's team, with Coomer retaining leadership of the men's team.[46] In the season which had just ended, both teams qualified as the fourth seed for its first OVC tournament.[47]
Sandy Montgomery began the volleyball program in 1995 and coached for its first four years, guiding it to a record of 83–54 and its first appearance in the NCAA Division II tournament in 1998. Todd Gober led the program for a decade, with a record of 205–112 and 3 NCAA appearances in 2005–07 before beginning the transition to Division I. Leah Johnson became SIUE's 4th volleyball coach in 2011 as it began competition in the Ohio Valley Conference.[48]
Larry Kristoff started the SIUE wrestling program in 1969 with resources similar to those available to soccer coach Bob Guelker, basketball coach Harry Gallatin, and baseball coach Roy Lee--- next to none. He quickly developed one of the dominant Division II programs. In 30 seasons, his teams were consistently top competitors and won back-to-back-to-back NCAA Division II championships in 1984–86 and were runners-up in 1975 and 1987. Kristoff's program was initially unaffected when the university de-emphasized athletics in the mid-1980s, but went into decline after its championship years when the recruiting budget was repeatedly decreased despite the program's success.
Following the 2002–03 season, the SIUE administration decided to eliminate the wrestling program. A number of staunch supporters and alumni formed the Friends of Wrestling that has since raised monies from sources outside the university to maintain the program.[49]
David Ray, the 4th coach since Kristoff's retirement was in charge as the program made the move to Division I and competition in the Southern Conference (the OVC does not sponsor wrestling) until it was announced on April 12, 2013 that he had tendered his resignation to accept a position in the university's administration.
On July 19, 2013, after a nationwide search, Cornell assistant coach Jeremy Spates, who had mentored Kyle Dake, Cornell's four-time national champion and the NCAA's 2013 Most Outstanding Wrestler, was named the new Cougar coach.[50] At the conclusion of Spates' first season, senior David Devine won the Southern Conference heavyweight championship, becoming the first Cougar wrestler to advance to the NCAA National Championships since SIUE's move to Division I.[51]
Early shoestring budgets[edit]
As indicated in some of the prior sections. intercollegiate athletics at SIUE mostly began with very little in the way of funding. Although the programs competed in Division II from their beginnings, it was not until 1973, the year after the school had won its first NCAA championship, that the SIU Board of Trustees authorized the granting of 114 athletic scholarships and an additional 28 tuition waivers. Up until that time, the athletic department had only been able to offer about 50 student activity grants, while the Salukis at SIU Carbondale had 220 full NCAA scholarships.
Success & scandal[edit]
During the 1970s and early '80s the SIUE Cougars were extremely successful in several sports, winning multiple NCAA championships in men's soccer, wrestling, and both men's and women's tennis. In 1983, it was discovered that two men's tennis players who were both All-Americans and NCAA champions were "majoring in tennis" and neglecting to attend classes.[52] It further came to light that the men's basketball coach had violated a number of the NCAA's restrictions on recruiting. While the tennis program was able to defend its string of NCAA Division II championships by winning their seventh title in a row in 1984, the university took the almost unprecedented action of suspending the men's basketball program for the 1983-84 season. Additionally, the athletic director was assigned to other duties within the university, with other actions against him held in abeyance, as he was a tenured professor.[21] After these events, the university severely reduced funding to all athletics, and the overall program went into a period of decline.
Athletic facilities[edit]
The following are among the athletic facilities used by SIUE Cougar teams:[53]
- Ralph Korte Stadium & Bob Guelker Field[54] "The Ralph" is a 4,000-seat outdoor stadium that serves as the home for men's and women's soccer and track & field programs. The playing field of FIFA-approved artificial turf is named for the Cougars' Hall Of Fame soccer coach (see above). In 2011, placement of a berm on the east side of the stadium was begun to provide seating on the grass. The stands at The Ralph is one of the places on the SIUE campus from where the Gateway Arch can be seen, 20 miles (32 km) to the southwest on the St. Louis riverfront.
- The Sam M. Vadalabene Center[55] "The VC" is a multi-purpose facility that opened in 1984 and is the home for Cougars basketball, volleyball, and wrestling teams; it was host to the 1986 & '87 NCAA Division II wrestling championships.[56] The VC contains a 4,000 seat arena, an indoor pool, classrooms, offices, and several activity areas. It is immediately adjacent to the Student Fitness Center[57] which opened in 1993 and contains a wide range of recreation and fitness facilities. In 2008, as the school began its transition to Division I, the Vadalabene Center underwent a $6 million makeover.[58] The renovation nearly tripled the number of chair back seats, increased the seating from 2,400 to 4,000, and added a new locker room, classroom, and office spaces. Since the renovation, the VC's largest crowd has been the sold-out crowd of 4,157, in attendance to see the Cougars men's basketball team play 10th ranked (in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches' Poll) Murray State, on January 21, 2012[59] in the Cougars' first nationally televised (on ESPNU) home game. This did not, despite expectations, surpass the crowd of January 8, 1987, when--- with the fire marshal conspicuously absent--- 4,392[60] avid fans managed to cram into the VC to witness the SIU Carbondale Salukis narrowly escape an upset at the hands of the then-Division II Cougars (final score, SIUC 84-SIUE 83 in overtime[61]).
- Roy E. Lee Field at Simmons Baseball Complex[62] is the home for the SIUE baseball program. The playing field is named for the coach who started the program (see above). Seating 1,500 spectators, the fully lighted stadium has an artificial turf infield, natural grass outfield (to be replaced with artificial turf), and electronic scoreboard. The dugouts and locker rooms were newly constructed for the 2011 season.
- Cougar Field[63] (aka Cougar Stadium) is the home to SIUE Softball. The stadium seats 1000+ in the stands and more on the lawn beyond the outfield fence. It is lighted for night games and has a locker room with showers and restroom, team meeting room, and training room to provide the Cougars with top-tier facilities. The Cougars and their visitors both have full dugouts. January, 2012 saw the dedication of a new 110' x 110' (33.53m x 33.53m) indoor practice facilility adjacent to the stadium.[64]
- Cougar Tennis Courts[65] located just to the west of the Vadalabene Center, feature six hardcourt surfaces with courtside chairback seating. They were opened on May 15, 1980, in time to host the NCAA's men's Division II national championship finals. The men's NCAAs returned in 1990,[66] and the women's Division II championships were held on the Cougar Courts in 1982 & '89.[67]
- SIUE Cross Country Course[68] has permanently marked 5K, 6K, 8K & 10K courses that are 98% grass along their routes. The courses occupy a 10 acre site on University Drive just south of New Poag Road on the scenic SIUE campus. The courses have been host to numerous NCAA Division II Regional and conference championships and to IHSA regionals and sectionals.
Athletic director[edit]
In August 2002, Assistant Vice Chancellor for University Relations Dr. Bradley Hewitt, an SIUE administrator since 1989, was appointed Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, the 7th in the school's history. With his appointment, Dr. Hewitt was assigned the twofold task of returning SIUE athletics to the glory of the 1970s & 80's, when the Cougars won 16 NCAA championships, and expanding that success through the entire spectrum of the university's athletic program. During the first six years of his term, SIUE sent Cougar teams or individual athletes to 48 NCAA Division II championship competitions. The Cougars earned 3 top-15 finishes in the U.S. Sports Academy Directors' Cup, and they twice won both the GLVC All-Sports Trophy and the Commissioner's Cup. And... in 2007, the softball team won the NCAA Division II National Championship--- SIUe's first national title since 1989.
In the Fall of 2007, Dr. Hewitt was assigned new tasks--- preparing Cougar athletics for entry into NCAA Division I competition and arranging for affiliation with a Division I athletic conference. The softball and men's soccer were able to be "fast-tracked" into Division I competition, with all other sports becoming full members of Division I in the Fall of 2012. Membership was secured for all but 2 teams in the Ohio Valley Conference in July 2008; in November 2008, the men's soccer team gained associate membership in the Missouri Valley Conference; in June 2011, the wrestling team was accepted as an associate member of the Southern Conference.
A 1981 mathematics graduate of Central Missouri State University (now the University of Central Missouri), Hewitt also earned his masters degree in athletic administration from CMSU in 1982 and received his Ph.D. in education from Southern Illinois University Carbondale in 1994; he is also a 2006 executive management graduate of the Sports Management Institute. Prior to coming to SIUE, he was an athletic administrator and coach at Morningside College (Iowa), SIUC, and CMSU. At SIUE, Dr Hewitt has served as an assistant athletic director, acting CEO of the SIUE Foundation, acting Vice Chancellor of University Relations, adjunct professor in Kinesiology and Health Education, acting Alumni Director, as well as his current double-duty of Assistant Vice Chancellor for University Relations and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics.[69]
Athletics & Academics[edit]
As proud as he is of SIUE's athletic success, Dr. Hewitt is even more proud of its academic success. Concerning the Cougars' Spring of 2014 achievements, he said, "I commend our student-athletes for their continued success in the classroom. SIUE is committed to academic excellence for our student-athletes and will continue to provide a structure in which all can fulfill their academic goals."
In the Fall of 2014, SIUE student-athletes recorded a combined 3.089 grade point average (GPA). This marked the 17th consecutive semester that the Cougar student-athletes posted a combined GPA of greater than 3.0. The women's golf team finished with the highest team GPA for the fifth consecutive semester with a 3.587. They were followed by women's tennis (3.513), softball (3.380), men's tennis (3.3555), women's cross country (3.302), men's cross country (3.225), men's golf (3.198), volleyball (3.182),, women's track and field (3.140), women's soccer (3.124), men's track and field (3.082), and men's soccer (3.048).[70]
On June 12, 2013, the NCAA's Academic Progress Rate (APR) report (based on cumulative progress from 2008-09 through 2011-12) showed that fifteen SIUE programs outperformed the national average. Eight teams led their sport in the Ohio Valley Conference (more than for any other OVC school), and wrestling was second in the Southern Conference.
Additionally, four programs (men's cross country, women's soccer, softball, and women's tennis) were honored by the NCAA for recording a perfect 1000 in the multiyear APR scores.[71]
The cougar was chosen as the university mascot[72] in 1967, before any SIUE athletic teams ever took the field.
In February 1968, through the efforts of the Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity, the university acquired a young cougar that had been born at the San Diego Zoo the previous August and adopted by Thomas Blackshear. The cub, named Danie, was donated to SIUE by Blackshear's mother, Mrs. Nonette Lewis, following his untimely death. A "Name the Cougar" contest was held to rename the cub, and Mary Ann Kucinick won with the name, Chimega--- the Apache word for cougar.
Chimega, possessed of a warm and patient personality, soon became the university's beloved mascot. She resided in a large cage just to the south of the University Center that was topped with a geodesic dome designed by visiting professor R. Buckminster Fuller. She was cared for by a student organization aptly named the Cougar Guard, who accompanied her on her twice-daily walks around the core campus and to a myriad of university activities, especially including athletic events. (In keeping with the times, the Cougar Guard was originally all-male, but eventually became co-ed.) Chimega mated in 1974 and bore two cubs, one stillborn, the second dying within hours. In the summer of 1982, having become less patient with people than she had always been, Chimega was retired from active mascot service. She passed away in March 1985 and was buried near the pond located east of the classroom building now known as Founder's Hall.
In January, 1983, a second cougar, seven-month-old Kyna--- Welsh for wise or graceful lady--- became SIUE's second live mascot. Chimega's cage had been divided in two and a large, caged run would later be added. At one time, Kyna was released by pranksters/vandals. Later, she had severe health issues after eating a soccer ball. Due to liability insurance issues, she was restricted from interacting with the public in late 1986. Then, in June, 1987, the university administration, without consulting students, staff, or alumni, donated Kyna to an exotic animal park. Despite protests, Kyna did not return, and SIUe has since been without a live cougar mascot.
In 2007, the university unveiled the bronze cougar statue[73] in front of the Morris University Center, "a monument" to commemorate Chimega and Kyna.
In January 2010, Eddie the Cougar[74] made his first appearance as the costumed SIUE mascot, replacing Corey the Cougar. Eddie has since made appearance at many campus events, wearing number 57, which commemorates SIUE's founding in 1957.

Bjelakovic G et al. – Vitamin D in the form of vitamin D3 seems to decrease mortality in predominantly elderly women who are mainly in institutions and dependent care. Vitamin D2, alfacalcidol, and calcitriol had no statistically significant effect on mortality. Vitamin D3 combined with calcium significantly increased nephrolithiasis. Both alfacalcidol and calcitriol significantly increased hypercalcaemia.
Methods- The authors searched The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE, LILACS, the Science Citation Index Expanded, and Conference Proceedings Citation Index–Science (to January 2011).
- They scanned bibliographies of relevant publications and asked experts and pharmaceutical companies for additional trials.
- They included randomised trials that compared vitamin D at any dose, duration, and route of administration versus placebo or no intervention.
- Vitamin D could have been administered as supplemental vitamin D (vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) or vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol)) or an active form of vitamin D (1α–hydroxyvitamin D (alfacalcidol) or 1,25–dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol)).
- Six authors extracted data independently.
- Random–effects and fixed–effect model meta–analyses were conducted.
- For dichotomous outcomes, they calculated the risk ratios (RR).
- To account for trials with zero events, meta–analyses of dichotomous data were repeated using risk differences (RD) and empirical continuity corrections.
- Risk of bias was considered in order to minimise risk of systematic errors.
- Trial sequential analyses were conducted to minimise the risk of random errors.
- Fifty randomised trials with 94,148 participants provided data for the mortality analyses.
- Most trials included elderly women (older than 70 years).
- Vitamin D was administered for a median of two years.
- More than one half of the trials had a low risk of bias.
- vitamin D decreased mortality (RR 0.97, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.94 to 1.00, I2 = 0%).
- When the different forms of vitamin D were assessed separately, only vitamin D3 decreased mortality significantly (RR 0.94, 95% CI 0.91 to 0.98, I2 = 0%; 74,789 participants, 32 trials) whereas vitamin D2, alfacalcidol, or calcitriol did not. Trial sequential analysis supported the finding regarding vitamin D3, corresponding to 161 individuals treated to prevent one additional death.
- Vitamin D3 combined with calcium increased the risk of nephrolithiasis (RR 1.17, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.34, I2 = 0%). Alfacalcidol and calcitriol increased the risk of hypercalcaemia (RR 3.18, 95% CI 1.17 to 8.68, I2 = 17%).
- Data on health–related quality of life and health economics were inconclusive.

I tried to brew a porter but it ended up way too sweet for my liking. Too much malto dextrin. Drinkable but not really enjoyable. Does any one have any recipe sugestions to salvage this beer as either a barbecue sauce or glaze?
Would be good for boiling brats.
1) Find Brewtopia's BBQ sause recipe. 2) Take some and reduce it for an ice cream topping (Lucy Saunders) 3) http://www.firestonebeer.com/Creatin...s_Blending.ppt Specifically:http://www.firestonebeer.com/Creatin...Walker's Shadow Black Lager
You can always use it to make fajitas or tacos
Or chili, if the IBUs weren't too high.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!" "I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
chilli would be good

The alcohol in beer helps to tenderize meat. So yeah, a marinade would be a good idea. Buy a bunch of steaks and have at it!!!
