NEW ORLEANS — Breanna Stewart had all the answers to help UConn finally vanquish Notre Dame.
The stellar freshman scored a career-high 29 points to go with four blocks and was seemingly everywhere in leading the Huskies back to the national championship game with an 83-65 win over Notre Dame on Sunday night.
The Huskies will face Louisville in the title game Tuesday night, and it will be an all-Big East affair after the Cardinals rallied to beat California 64-57 in the other semifinal. UConn will be going for its eighth national championship to match Tennessee for the most in women's basketball history.
No team has dominated Geno Auriemma's Huskies the way that the Irish had over the past few seasons. UConn (34-4) had lost the previous two national semifinals to the Irish and dropped three thrilling games this season to their rival.
Stewart and her teammates wouldn't let it happen again, ending the brilliant career of Notre Dame guard Skylar Diggins. She finished her last college game with 10 points, going a dismal 3 for 15 from the field.
"Once you get here you're only going to beat great teams. And the reason Notre Dame has beaten us seven of the last eight times is because they're really, really good," Auriemma said. "For one night, that's what's great about the NCAA tournament, for one night, for just this night, we just needed to be better than them, and we were."
The Huskies built a 10-point halftime lead playing incredible defense and Notre Dame (35-2) could only get within six in the second half as its school record 30-game winning streak came to an end.
The Huskies and Irish have developed the best rivalry in women's basketball over the past few seasons, and this game might have been the final chapter between the two with Notre Dame headed to the Atlantic Coast Conference next season.
Two years ago, the Huskies won the first three meetings before Notre Dame shocked them in the national semifinals. Notre Dame had won seven of the previous eight meetings before Sunday night and this one, for once, started slowly. With the teams so familiar with each other, getting easy baskets was virtually impossible. Notre Dame went nearly 7½ minutes without a field goal missing 14 consecutive shots.
While UConn would usually knockout most opponents during a scoreless stretch like that, the Huskies couldn't take advantage against the Irish scoring only four points themselves.
Neither team led by more than four points for the first 16 minutes. But trailing 26-25 with 3:44 left in the half, UConn took over. Bria Hartley, who has struggled all season while recovering from an ankle injury she suffered over the summer, was the spark. The junior guard started the spurt with a 3-pointer and added a nifty pullup moments later to make it 32-26.
After Notre Dame scored to pull within four, Morgan Tuck put back a miss and Stewart hit a 3-pointer. A Kelly Faris layup with 3.9 seconds left capped the burst and made it 39-29 at the break.
Diggins was 0 for 6 from the field in the first half as the Huskies harassed her all over the court. She scored the Irish's first two points on free throws and didn't have another point until getting a steal early in the second half and converting it for the easy layup to make it 42-35. The two-time All-American tried to do everything she could to rally her team. Twice she chased down Hartley on the break to block her shot.
UConn led 50-43 with 12:22 left before Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis and Stewart hit back-to-back 3s to give the Huskies their biggest lead of the game.
Notre Dame wasn't done, their star freshman Jewell Loyd scoring five points during a 9-2 run to get the Irish within 61-55.
That was as close as they could get as Stewart and UConn scored the next seven points to seal the victory. Stewart was the most heralded freshman coming into the season, but struggled through the middle part of the year. But ever since the Big East tournament she's really been on a roll.
"Every player, especially young players, deal with things differently," Auriemma said. "And I think when the season ended, it just let the air out of the balloon and she said, 'Now I just want to play basketball.' My God, she was amazing tonight."
The 6-foot-4 budding star had 16 points in the loss to the Irish for the conference title and earned most outstanding player of the Bridgeport regional.
The loss ended an incredible season for Notre Dame and left Diggins without a national championship. The star guard had accomplished nearly everything else in her stellar career at the school, including helping her Irish turn around their rivalry against the Huskies.
Diggins said she spoke with Auriemma after the loss.
"Don't let this define my career," she said he told her, and that: "I've done more for women's basketball than some people have done who have won four championships."
"He just told me I was a good player," she said. "You respect that coming from such a good coach."
Notre Dame won a school record 30 straight games with the only other loss coming against Baylor in early December. The Irish won their second straight Big East regular season title and first conference tournament championship. But only Oral Roberts since 1999-2000 has beaten an opponent four times in a season (UMKC), according to STATS LCC.
■ Louisville 64, California 57: The more Louisville extends its remarkable run, the more coach Jeff Walz wants to make sure his Cardinals enjoy every moment.
As long as they have one more upset in them for the NCAA championship game.
The upstart Cardinals got 18 points — all on 3-pointers — from Antonita Slaughter and they methodically clawed back from a 10-point halftime deficit to beat California 64-57 on Sunday night in the NCAA semifinals.
For a team that has beaten Baylor, Tennessee and now the second-seeded Golden Bears, a little celebration was in order.
"We're going to go on Bourbon Street," said Walz, whose team has one last practice Monday before Tuesday night's title game. "I'll tell the kids, as long as they're back by 2, we're OK."
Bria Smith scored 17 on 6 of 7 shooting for the fifth-seeded Cardinals (29-8), who became the first team seeded lower than fourth to win a Final Four game. The result ensures an all-Big East Conference final in the league's last season in its current form: Louisville will play Connecticut, which beat Notre Dame 83-65, one night after the Louisville men's team plays Michigan for the championship.
The Cardinals are the 10th school to have both basketball teams reach the Final Four in the same season. Only UConn won both titles in the same season, back in 2004.
"The way I look at it, I think the men are trying to feed off of our success," Walz said with a smirk before adding on a serious note that he'd received word from Atlanta that the Louisville men "were in the hotel lobby jumping up and down and cheering for us."
Layshia Clarendon scored 17 for Cal (32-4), which had won the Spokane Region as a second seed. Gennifer Brandon added 12 for the Golden Bears and Brittany Boyd added 10 points.
"Credit Louisville, which obviously has been really hot," Cal coach Lindsay Gottlieb said. "They outfought us in the second half."
It was the third straight upset by Louisville, which had to beat defending national champion Baylor and the powerful Lady Vols just to get to the Big Easy.
They will need to summon one more to win it all. Not that they're worried about it.
"No one expects us to be here," Slaughter said. "No one expects us to be in the championship game. Just come together as a team and win as a team."
Shoni Schimmel, who had been one of the stars of the tournament, struggled early for Louisville, but finished with 10 points, including a clutch transition pull-up that gave Louisville a 57-54 lead with 2:06 left.
Clarendon responded with a left win 3 of her own to tie it, but Sara Hammond, playing with four fouls for the last 7:20, gave the Cardinals the lead for good with a strong move inside as she was fouled. Suddenly, Cal was forcing desperate 3s and not hitting them.
After shooting 58. 6 percent (17 of 29) in the first half, Cal shot only 30 percent (9 of 30) in the second, negating the Bears' 38-26 advantage in rebounds.
"In the first half we got out a lot on the run. We didn't get a chance to run at all (in the second half) because we weren't getting stops," Clarendon said. "We made a lot of mistakes. It's not like we played somebody who was too good and just flat out beat us."
On Saturday night, the Louisville's men's team had to erase a 12-point second-half deficit against Wichita State, so the women didn't need much inspiration when they went into halftime trailing 37-27. They came out and quickly narrowed their deficit with a 7-0 run that began with Schimmel's 3. Smith added a mid-range jumper and Hammond scored inside to make it 37-34.
Cal was back up 47-39 when Clarendon spun into the lane for a pull-up jumper, but the Cardinals then scored the next seven points, starting with Slaughter's deep 3 and ending with Jude Schimmel's free throws that made it as close as 47-46.
The Cardinals finally pulled back into the lead when Hammond's free throws made it 53-52 with 3:40 left.
"We come out, we executed perfectly to start the second half," Walz said. "Once we took the lead, I could see it in our kids' eyes, the excitement, 'Hey, we can do this, we're going to do this.'
"We're playing our best basketball at the end of the year and that's all that matters," Walz added. "We're figuring out a way to pull them out."
Before tip-off, Walz had the relaxed look of a coach who had been there before, which of course he had in 2009, when Louisville climbed out of a 12-point hole to beat Oklahoma State in the national semifinals before falling to Connecticut in the title game. He walked over to the Cal bench for a friendly chat with Gottlieb, giving her a hug before he walked back toward his bench, and then went across the court to welcome some fans in the front row.
Walz's team also appeared more composed in the first few minutes, racing to an 8-2 lead with the help of Slaughter's first 3 and a pair of layups by Smith. Smith's third basket inside the first five minutes gave Louisville a 10-6 lead, then Cal started to look more comfortable.
Talia Caldwell's putback marked the beginning of a 12-1 run, capped by Clarendon's transition jumper that gave the Golden Bears an 18-11 lead.
Jude Schimmel's 3 got Louisville as close as 25-22 midway through the half, but the Cardinals had trouble keeping pace while Shoni Schimmel, their leading scorer, missed six of her first seven shots.
Cal, which had won with strong rebounding all season, also controlled the game in that department, 23-11 overall and 8-3 in offensive rebounds in the first half. Complicating matters for Louisville was that Hammond, their leading rebounder (6.5 per game), sat out most of the half with two fouls.

beware...dry, itchy skin!
Posted by Reviewer1082005 on May 14, 2009
This product claims to be good for mature skin and although it has nourishing ingredients, I find it to be very drying. It's not moisturizing at all.
Does not seem to go well with my skin
Posted by Reviewer1975337 on May 08, 2012
My skin felt very tight and actually the cream ''bites'' me when I use it. (I have combination skin and sometimes ''sensitive'' too)
Not suitable for oily skin
Posted by 4694191132870099030 on Jul 05, 2013
I had wanted to have a less abrasive skin cleanser for nighttime use and this turned out to be too moisturizing for use in an Asian country may suit someone with more mature or dry skin. But otherwise it's bearable.
Maybe for winter

Milwaukee Rep's 'I Left My Heart' celebrates song more than singer
If you attend "I Left My Heart," the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's season-opening Tony Bennett revue, you won't hear a word about the man who helped liberate a concentrate camp, marched with Martin Luther King Jr. at Selma and became an outspoken opponent of the American invasion of Iraq. Nor will you hear about Bennett's two divorces or former drug addiction.
As the subtitle to the Rep's revue indicates, what co-writers David Grapes and Todd Olson (who also directs) have created is a "salute to the music of Tony Bennett," with an emphasis on the music. »Read Full Article(1)

"I loved their concept of a 'Flash Learning Room.' If attendees don't see content they are looking for, they have a chance to claim a specified meeting room onsite and conduct a session of their choosing. It's their responsibility to promote the session through the various social media channels. " Sarah Meyer, Conference & Meeting Planner/Education Coordinator, Kansas Association of Counties, said.

A trucker accused of killing a medical student in a crunch of twisted metal just months before her graduation has been arrested again, this time on drunken-driving charges.
Lauren Baccari, 27, a student at the Medical University of South Carolina, was killed Jan. 28 while sitting in traffic on Interstate 526. A truck driven by Arnold Bradford Williams, 35, of Salters, came up behind her and crushed her inside her silver 2005 Acura.
North Charleston police said Williams was going too fast for conditions and charged him with reckless homicide.
He was released from the Charleston County jail on $100,000 bail.
Williams was arrested again April 6 in Conyers, Ga., after several witnesses said his 2006 Freightliner hauling 26 tons of stone was weaving in and out of traffic on I-20, according to a Georgia state police report. A portable breath test showed a blood-alcohol level of 0.222, according to the report, almost three times the legal limit.
North Charleston police originally charged Williams with felony DUI after a witness said he threw a pack of beer over a guardrail after the wreck. The charge was changed to reckless homicide after a review of the evidence and a consultation with the 9th Circuit Solicitor's Office, according to the incident report.
The solicitor's office could not recommend a more serious charge because police said Williams passed field-sobriety and toxicology tests after the wreck, Solicitor Scarlett Wilson said.
At Williams' bond hearing after the North Charleston wreck, Magistrate Linda Lombard noted that Williams had accumulated traffic tickets. He has been cited at least once for having an open container of beer and once for improper passing, court records show. He also has at least 10 tickets for failing to wear a seat belt.
"There's a history of speeding," Lombard said before setting bail. "It's sad it has to end this way."
The Solicitor's Office is not involved in setting bail, Wilson said. The arresting officer in Georgia reported a fruity alcohol smell on Williams' breath. The officer said he found an empty can of Mike's Hard Lemonade in a storage compartment over the visor.
While Williams was being taken to the Rockdale County jail, he asked how long he might stay in jail because he was due in court at the end of the month on a reckless homicide charge, according to the report.
Williams remains in the Rockdale County jail on charges of driving under the influence and open container. A motion has been filed to revoke his bond, possibly at a Friday hearing, Wilson said. Revoking his bond would hold him in the Georgia jail after he finishes that sentence to reduce the risk of flight, Wilson said.
Baccari was sitting in traffic on I-526 east near Rivers Avenue the morning of the fatal wreck. Traffic was congested because of a fuel spill near Virginia Avenue that morning. Williams came up from the rear and crushed her car, according to the incident report. Three other cars and another truck also were caught in the wreck.
Baccari planned to practice family medicine. A family member has been invited to accept her degree on her behalf during graduation ceremonies next month, and a seat will be draped in her honor at the Medical Student Oath Ceremony, according to Etta Pisano, dean of the college of medicine.
The college also set up a fund in her honor to support students interested in family medicine.

Liam Neeson and his two sons are "taking each day as it comes" since the sudden death of his wife Natasha Richardson.
Still, the actor and his two sons with the late actress, Michael, 14, and Daniel, 12, "are doing good," Neeson said Wednesday on Good Morning America.
"[We are] still getting extraordinary condolence letters from American people. That's deeply, deeply touching," Neeson, 57, told Diane Sawyer.
Neeson also acknowledged the passing of Sen. Edward Kennedy, whom the actor first met when he was 10 years old during a visit to the Kennedy ancestral Irish homestead. Kennedy was one of those who contacted him following the March death of Richardson, 45.
"He wrote my family a very, very beautiful touching condolence letter when Natasha died," said Neeson. "He was a special man."
Neeson, who is appearing in the new film Five Minutes of Heaven, says he's been moved by the letters from so many Americans. "[That] is partly the reason that I have recently become an American citizen," says the star who was born in Northern Ireland. "America has been very, very good to me. I am still a proud Irishman ... but I have become an American citizen, and am very proud of that."

I think it was October 2011 when I first heard the "What if we run out of fuel mid-flight ?' jokes about Kingfisher Airlines. A businessman I met at a gathering laughed at another prominent one: "Boss, think of your family, shareholders and company. Fly a proper airline." The latter had just narrated how he boarded the 7 am Mumbai-Delhi Kingfisher with a newspaper that had a screaming headline about fuel supplies being aborted.
Kingfisher has been on a 'cash and carry' system for buying fuel for close to a year. In July 2011, the first signs of trouble surfaced when several Kingfisher flights were grounded after oil company HPCL apparently stopped supplying fuel over non-payment of dues. The airline had to, as reports have it, cough up sufficient funds for two days before supply was resumed.
The next round of news reports appeared in November 2011. This time, it was evident that the troubles were serious. The airline – wisely in retrospect – cancelled 175 of the 418 flights allotted to it for the Winter Schedule which came into operation on October 30 and lasts till March 31. Also came news that 130 of its pilots had quit.
Right now, which is mid-February, all hell appears to have broken loose. Reports say close to half of all flights are cancelled. In many cases, it appears passengers have been severely inconvenienced. Not to mention employees.
Last week, Kingfisher's employees in Kolkata walked out protesting non-payment of salaries leaving several passengers and flights stranded. Two days before that, Kingfisher reported third quarter losses of Rs 444 crore. The Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has said it is investigating the latest round of abrupt cancellations.
The Kingfisher situation raises some fundamental questions about customer-facing, service businesses. And whether there are lessons to be learnt from the way the airline has responded to its problems. And not so much about having them. Which many would understand.
It could be argued that there are precedents to such situations in the airline business. After all TWA owner Howard Hughes, the greatest aviator of them and Richard Branson of Virgin Airlines fought similar challenges.
But I'm not sure their financial trials & tribulations similarly inconvenienced their passengers. Or kept them guessing every morning while running from pillar to post to solve a deep-rooted balance sheet mess.
And that's why this is not about just Kingfisher. After all, five of India's six airlines are reportedly in losses now, including rival Jet Airways which posted its fourth straight quarterly loss of Rs 101 crore last month.
This is about the nuances of running a customer-facing, service enterprise in a financially trying situation. And recognising when and how to cut back. In the interest of the long term.
Look at it this way. Even the beer (parent brand Kingfisher is a spirits company) in lieu of fuel jokes are passé. Most frequent fliers have shifted loyalties, particularly the business kind who can't take chances with the erratic schedules, or the perception of them, which is equally bad.
That brings us to the next question. Kingfisher has been struggling with its finances for close to a year now. It must have been evident to the airline's management all this while that they cannot buy time (or fuel) on a daily basis. If that's the case, why have they been not planned ahead ?
The cynical view would be that they don't care. That's possible but not very logical because that's not how most businesses are set up to run, at least in post-liberalisation India.
The only answer is that Kingfisher has been extremely confident of its ability to find fixes on the fly. Whether in persuading the banks to lend overnight or cajoling the oil companies to open the taps 'just this one time'. Or, the best Indian case, a phone call to the right person. To sum up, depend on jugaad to get the aircraft fuelled up and ready to push back on schedule at 7 am.
Which brings us to the next set of questions. Should service organisations run operations in such a touch and go manner? Or more fundamentally, how are service businesses run? Hint: not like manufacturing or trading operations. Second, would it not be better to take a 'ego hit' by proactively cutting back services to the bone and then restoring when the situation improves?
Had Kingfisher steadily phased down to a few dozen services a day which run well, most folks would understand. Particularly if they were informed in advance, tickets refunded or alternate bookings created.
But the current status only prompts greater concern, leading to question critical safety and engineering standards as well. Granted that a sharp pull back in capacity may trigger other problems but it surely can't be worse than what it is.
It is also a fact that reputations so lost in this business can be salvaged with attractive incentives and schemes. Air-India offers them all the time. Kingfisher is too. Four weeks ago, it sent out a mailer to its frequent fliers offering one complimentary ticket to any destination for every three one-way tickets bought before 20 March 2012. I would admit that it's tempting.
But betting a business on such strategies does not sound quite right.
Moreover, Kingfisher was created with much higher expectations. It was aimed at the swish set. Chairman Vijay Mallya's video welcomes passengers over the aircraft's inflight entertainment system. For someone who took passionate ownership of the product and service – when the airline's CEO could and perhaps should have done so – he is remarkably distanced now.
The other lesson is that good service experiences boost not just the airline but the country image as well. The reverse is true as well. India's private sector has distinguished itself by offering world class services in airlines or hotels across the world. Particularly after the hiccups of the mid-90s when many start-up airlines struggled similarly and collapsed.
Now it seems like India's private airlines – and by extension companies – can run an efficient operation on the front-end but fail badly on the back-end. Worse, they are willing to hold their customers hostage while they try to figure it all out. Kingfisher may well find a solution to its financial woes in coming days. But it would have to work harder to prove that it's not running a Scotch-tape operation at HQ.

Charges filed in shooting of gas station clerk
Murad Jones accused of shooting good Samaritan after purse theft
Prosecutors have charged a Kansas City man with robbery and assault in connection with the shooting of a convenience store clerk Wednesday afternoon.
Murad A. Jones is accused of shooting Haroon Yousef, a clerk that came out of the store to intervene in a robbery. He is also charged with two counts of armed criminal action.According to court records, police said Jones stole a woman's purse after she drove him to the convenience store near Gregory Boulevard and Cleveland Avenue. Police said Yousef came outside to help and struggled with Jones over the woman's purse.
Police said Jones fired several shots and two of those shots hit Yousef in the abdomen, leaving him with life-threatening injuries.
A police officer who was in the area on an unrelated matter heard the shots, chased Jones and held him at gunpoint until he was taken into custody.
Police said that when they questioned Jones, he admitted to taking the woman's purse and shooting the clerk. Police said Jones said he thought Yousef was going to hold him down until an officer came, but Jones stood over Yousef and fired six shots at him as he was laying on the ground.

When a person is a bro and quido rolled into one, like a guido-bro burito. Like a guibro, a brorido is a bro with guido-like tendencies, or vice versa. Usually a college-age male who does things like GTL.
I saw a bro at the gym telling his friend he had to tan before going to play lax and chilling. He had to be a brorido.

- - Washington State, first time. (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/general-travel-forum/52131-washington-state-first-time.html)
Washington State, first time.
I might go to Washington during Christmas break. I've never been to WA before so I'd appreciate any advice for resorts, including good prices, good conditions, etc.
Where are you planning on staying while you are here? Are you trying to rent a cabin or do you have friends to visit?
You basically need a car or friends with transportation, watch the weather and go where its dumping. Conditions are highly variable, but in general prepare for wetness.
Thanks for your advice. I plan on staying in Seattle.
As for what kind of terrain I'd like to be riding, I LOVE untouched, off-trail powder, from what I experienced in CO. I loved it almost as much as I love whipped cream on caramel-apple and granola pancakes. :thumbsup:
However, I'm going with my bro who is still learning and has yet to experience powder. It would be great for him to learn how to float in it, but he'd have to get faster on his turns to control it first, so as long as there's plenty of groomed runs we'll be fine. I wouldn't go off trail without someone else of the same abilities to ride with anyway. I don't even know how deep it is yet there, and I heard that the winter out west is pretty crap so far, but the recent webcam pictures of Crystal Mountain looked pretty good. I wouldn't want to ditch my bro anyway. Or would I?:giggle:
I'll check out Snoqualmie... OK, right now the entire place is closed. Hopefully it will be open in time. Thanks again for the advice.:)
Gdog.....Monday is the first day of x-mass break...where are you?
This Afternoon Snow. High near 26. South southeast wind around 14 mph, with gusts as high as 18 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 6 to 10 inches possible.
Tonight Snow showers. Low around 19. South southwest wind 9 to 13 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 5 to 9 inches possible.
Sunday Snow. High near 25. South southeast wind 9 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of 5 to 9 inches possible.
Sunday Night Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 22. East southeast wind 11 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 15 to 21 inches possible.
Monday Snow showers. High near 27. South wind around 20 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 7 to 11 inches possible.
Monday Night Snow showers. Low around 15. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of 5 to 9 inches possible.
I meant the Thursday after Christmas (Tuesday).
I've now decided that I'm not going for Christmas break because of the cost of the flight tickets, which are around $700 per person
If I go at the end of January, the tickets will be about $200 per person instead, so that's when I'm now going. The snow should be deeper by then anyway.:)
Yea... the trend has been dumpage early season, no snow January/February, major dumpage March/April.
Well then, I have only one word to describe how a feel about that:
Thanks for the heads-up guys, looks like I might not be able to get so much pow-pow this year after all. :sad:.
I went to CO over spring break, and it did dump over one night and it was almost knee-deep on the 2nd day of riding. Even though it wasn't very deep, it does give me some hope for my trip in January.
After that day though, it was slushy and so warm we went in our t-shirts on the 4th day.
Stupid climate change. :mad:

Made up of independently owned and operated hotels, Best Western thrives on diversity. As a result, Best Western hotels do everything from having in-room recycle bins and linen re-use programs to geothermal and solar-powered hotels that actually sell power back to the grid.
Every hotel in North America is required to have a green program in place. This could be anything from using recycled paper and installing low-flow shower heads to full participation with national or international eco-labeling programs.
Here are a few examples of how Best Western hotels are going green:
Best Western encourages hotels to "go green" in the way that works best for their markets and customers. The brand provides tools and training to support these efforts. Here are a few examples:
Best Western's corporate offices have made a concerted effort to reduce, reuse and recycle. In fact, our Beardsley Operations Center in Phoenix recently earned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency prestigious Energy Star, the national symbol for protecting the environment through superior energy efficiency. Here are some of the company's corporate efforts and initiatives to promote green best practices and implement practical, environmentally-friendly solutions:

Something that is very old (many years have past). As balls are wrinkly (like old people), it makes a good analogy. Alternately from the facts that the 'ball', a spherical object, has been around for pretty much ages.
"Hey, did you see some of those artefacts in the museum?"
"Yeah man, they old as balls!"
"Yeah man, they old as balls!"
