2011 Super Bowl Feb. 6 In Dallas: Packers-VS-Steelers


The Pittsburgh Steelers polished off the New York Jets on Sunday in the AFC Championship, booking a ticket to Dallas for the Super Bowl in the process. Like the Green Bay Packers jerseys in the NFC Championship, the Steelers looked to be running away with the game before the Jets came storming back. In a game of runs, the Steelers did just enough down the wire to secure the game, and a trip to the Super Bowl.

The Steelers scored the first 24 points of the game and looked to have the championship well in hand by halftime. The Jets could only muster a first half field goal, heading into the half down 24-3.

In the second half, the Jets came alive on both sides of the ball, nearly stringing together an impressive comeback. A 45-yard strike from Mark Sanchez to Santonio Holmes early in the half brought the Jets to within 14 and was the only score of the third quarter.

Halfway through the fourth, the Jets failed miserably from the Pittsburgh one-yard-line, turning the ball over on downs and squandering a good look at a touchdown. They did, however, come away with points after forcing a safety on the ensuing possession.

After a lengthy drive following the free kick, the Jets finally found the end zone again with Jerricho Cotchery’s four-yard catch. That was as close as they’d get as the Steelers were able to run out the clock over the last three minutes to seal the game and walk away with a 24-19 win.

The Steelers move on to Dallas to face the Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl on Feb. 6. The Packers took home the NFC Championship earlier in the day, dropping the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field, 21-14.

Can the Saints Return to the 2011 Super Bowl?

If you've been listening to me blabber on about my predictions for the playoffs, you may have noticed I blabbered on about the New Orleans Saints making it to Super Bowl XLV to play the New England Patriots.buy 2011 super bowl jerseys here

Reasons?

Why, I have plenty.

One, their defense is vastly underrated. They limited an explosive Atlanta Falcons team in Week 16.

Second, as we all know, their offense is one of the best in the NFL. With Drew Brees calling the shots, you can never count this team out.get saints jerseys cheap.

Third, the Saints have won seven of their last nine games.

Fourth, they are still being looked past in favor of the Packers, Falcons, and Eagles. Nothing like Brees sneaking up to you and biting you in the ass...wait, that came out wrong.

But...I have since grown skeptical of the Saints' chances since both Chris Ivory and Pierre Thomas were lost for the playoffs due to injury. As much as I love Brees, having Reggie Bush as your No. 1 running back and no one else is certainly not as formidable. Bush has never been very good between the tackles and excels on screen passes and outside runs. With him as the primary back, I worry about the Saints getting far.

Airfare website disputes spread

Expedia, the world's largest online travel company, will no longer list American Airlines flights on its website, lobbing the latest volley in a battle between the airline and some Web-based travel companies that could have a ripple effect on consumers.
Expedia stopped listing American's flights as of Jan. 1, after the two sides failed to resolve a dispute about a booking system that American prefers and that provides more information about services it offers for a fee, such as priority boarding.

ONLINE BOOKING: Expedia drops American Airlines fares
MORE: Delta, American airlines pull fares off sites
American's fares are no longer available on Expedia-owned sites including Hotwire and TripAdvisor, but American flights remain on Expedia's corporate travel site, Egencia.
Expedia became the second major site in recent days to stop listing American flights. Delta stripped its fares from three smaller travel sites last month in an attempt to steer consumers to its own website and build brand loyalty.
The moves are prompting concern among some travel industry analysts that consumers will lose out as online booking options shrink and it becomes harder to compare fares between airlines.
"I think this is the beginning of a war," says Henry Harteveldt, a Forrester Research airline analyst. "My concern is, the customer is going to suffer."
Expedia said American's preferred booking system "is of questionable, if any, benefit to travelers, would be costly to build and maintain, and would compromise travel agents' ability to provide travelers with the best selection."
As of Dec. 21, American stripped its flights from travel site Orbitz because it also would not switch to the newer system. Two days later, Expedia began to make it more difficult for customers to get information about American's flights, listing its trips below other carriers' and requiring travelers to click on a link to see actual fares.
But American says fliers can find its fares on a variety of websites, including the airline's. "The type of fares that are sold by Orbitz and Expedia are fares we don't have a lot of difficulty selling," says Cory Garner, American's director of distribution strategy.
Disputes about the distribution of airline information are likely to continue as airlines and online travel firms renegotiate deals, says Harteveldt.
Still, some consumer experts say that if such battles result in more fliers having to go to an airline's site for information, carriers might be forced to improve service to woo online browsers their way.
"The decision ... for consumers will be, 'What airline's website should I go to?' and that's a question of loyalty," says Darron Billeter, an assistant marketing professor at Brigham Young University. "It will hopefully provide incentive for airlines to invest more in customer service and make it a more pleasurable experience."
In the meantime, Harteveldt says, American may have reason to worry. "This is not a move that helps American Airlines at this time," he says. "Because the travel agency sites are used so extensively ... (American) risks being overlooked by consumers who still have the option of hundreds of other carriers that travel agents sell."

Couple Commits $800,000 Game Show Goof. Or Did They?

Gabe Okoye and Brittany Mayti were just three questions from walking away with nearly a million dollars on the game show "Million Dollar Money Drop" when disaster hit.


"We went all the way and had close to a million dollars left," Okoye said.
The couple had $880,000 dollars when they were asked the fifth question in the seven-question game.
Host Kevin Pollak asked the young couple from Los Angeles: "Which of these was sold in stores first?"
The choices: the Macintosh Computer,Sony Walkman or the Post-it note.

Each team on the Fox show is given a million dollars at the start of the high-stakes game. They answer seven questions, each time deciding how much they want to wager on three possible answers. Whatever they wager on the right answer is what they get to keep. Wager nothing on the right answer and they're out of the game.
The couple agonized over how to gamble the $880,000 they'd earned to that point.
"When you get that much [money], even if it's just for a little bit, you make plans and dreams," Mayti said.
The couple planned to use the money for their wedding.
Mayti thought the Walkman was the correct answer. Okoye was convinced that the Post-it note was the correct answer. The two argued for their choices, all while piling heaps of cash on the blocks representing the answers.
Mayti caved and decided to go with her boyfriend and wager more on the Post-it.
"I really went with Gabe's instinct because he's so passionate," she said.
As the clock wound down, the couple bet $80,000 on the Walkman and $800,000 on the Post-it.
They fell to their knees when they heard the answer: the Walkman.
After missing the question and losing nearly a million dollars in a matter of seconds, they blew the rest of the game.
"We walked away with nothing," Mayti said.
"We were running on all cylinders," Okoye said. "After question five, we weren't really focused."
The blogging world is abuzz that Fox stiffed the couple, arguing that the Post-it is the correct answer.

What Came First -- The Post-it or The Walkman?

The Walkman hit stores in 1979. The date that the Post-it hit stores has been debated.
Some claim that it made its debut in 1980. Others argue that the little sticky note made its debut in the late 1970s when corporations first started using it, but before it hit stores nationwide.
According to 3M, the company that created the Post-it, the product was created in 1968, but didn't hit stores until 1980.
Still, the company did say that the product was used by people starting in the late 1970s. In 1977, the company tested the Post-it in four markets, but it didn't catch on. In 1978, the company launched the "Boise Blitz" in Idaho, giving samples of the little sticky paper squares to corporations and people there.
So who's right?
Okoye and Mayti left the game show not thinking twice that their answer might not really be wrong; but after their episode aired Monday, the couple started to wonder. Hundreds of people friended them on Facebook and sent them research that challenged the game show's answer.
"It would be nice to know exactly what the truth is just for the sake of knowing it. It's not really about the show. It's really, what's the real information," Okoye said.
Today they finally got their answer. Fox admitted that they goofed.
After sticking by their answer all week, the show's executive producer, Jeff Apploff, issued a statement late Thursday saying that, "unfortunately, the information our research department originally obtained from 3M regarding when Post-it notes were first sold was incomplete."
The producer promised to give the couple another shot on the show, saying, "we would like to extend our sincere thanks to the viewers who brought this to our attention, and we're thrilled to give Gabe and Brittany the opportunity to return to play the game."
The couple are still processing Fox's latest offer and don't want to comment just yet.
Still, they said that they are not angry at Fox, and though it took some time to get over losing $800,000, they're not upset.
"I was angry at first, but seeing him [Okoye] so hurt and remorseful about it, I was like, I love him more than his money," Mayti said.
The couple has used the experience to strengthen their relationship.
"It really wasn't about the money. I should have listened to Brittany at the time because she was so passionate about the answer and she went with me and my answer and really supported me," Okoye said.
Still, Okoye cringes every time he sees a Post-it.
"Every time I see Post-its, I'm like, 'Oh my God,'" Okoye said. "There's a 3M right down the street. Every time I drive by, I kind of laugh about it."

Tips to Make You Look Young at Any Age

Though we welcome the wisdom that comes with age, most of us don’t love what those years do to our skin. Here are 22 dermatologist-recommended tips to look young – at any age. Plus, are you skin-care savvy? Test yourself with our quiz…health-spa 
With each passing birthday, we lose collagen, elastin and facial fat. Add decades of sun worship, which ages skin faster, and you’ll easily look older than your years.

“The changes that happen to your skin each decade – wrinkles, fine lines, sagging and brown spots – are cumulative and they accelerate as you get older,” says Mary Lupo, M.D., clinical professor of dermatology at Tulane University in New Orleans.

“However, the benefits of caring for your skin are also cumulative,” she says. “The earlier you start, the better you look.”

The bottom line? Baby your complexion now and you won’t need a face lift later. Here's our doctor-recommended guide to skin care in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond.

In Your 20s
1. Get in the skin-care habit.Start good lifetime habits now to keep that glowing complexion well into your "golden years."

Most important: Remove all makeup before you hit the sack each night. Going to bed with a face full of cosmetics – and a days’ worth of dirt and oil – can clog pores and cause acne. (Keep facial wipes by your bed for those nights you reallycan’t make it to a sink.)

Second: Use a product with antioxidants, such as vitamin C, E, green tea and coffeeberry (the fruit of the coffee).

“Antioxidants improve skin tone and texture while protecting your complexion by fighting off free-radicals that break down collagen,” Lupo says.

2. Battle blemishes.
“In your 20s, adult acne is one of the biggest issues,” says Jeannine Downie, M.D., director of Image Dermatology in Montclair, N.J., and co-author of Beautiful Skin of Color(Diane Publishing).

Fight pimples by using a cleanser and spot treatment with salicylic acidor benzoyl peroxide. If over-the-counter options don’t work, see a dermatologist.

“Whatever you do, don’t pick your zits,” Downie adds. “This causes scarring or dark spots of pigmentation that can take months to fade.”
