But Mark Few's team also went undefeated in the West Coast Conference, has one of the country's best combo guards in 6-foot-5 junior Matt Bouldin, and -- most importantly -- is the only club in the country to finish in the top 10 in both offensive and defensive efficiency. The Zags' defense is ranked higher than that of North Carolina (the South's one-seed), Oklahoma (the two-seed) and Syracuse (the three-seed).</description><pubDate>Tue, 17 Mar 2009 02:17:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Sister Act II: Growing a bath biz</title><link>http://money.cnn.com/2009/03/02/smallbusiness/sister_act_2.fsb/index.htm</link><guid>http://money.cnn.com/2009/03/02/smallbusiness/sister_act_2.fsb/index.htm</guid><description>When sisters Monica Simeon and Marina TurningRobe invited Fortune Small Business to do a Makeover of their bath and body products business, they faced exciting opportunities - and daunting challenges ("Sister Act," December 2007/January 2008).</description><pubDate>Tue, 03 Mar 2009 14:41:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Snow rakes help small business weather rough economic climate</title><link>http://www.cnn.com/2009/LIVING/worklife/01/07/snow.rakes/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://www.cnn.com/2009/LIVING/worklife/01/07/snow.rakes/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>One small business has found a way to dig itself out of the snowballing recession -- snow rakes.

A member of the Spokane tribe, Ronald "Buzz" Gutierrez built his casino on the reservation 50 miles northwest of Spokane, Wash. His dutiful daughters tackled every job in the joint: opening the doors to eager gamblers at noon, flipping burgers, dealing cards, counting cash, mopping floors, and locking up at 4 A.M. Someday, they told each other, they would establish their own business - and it would be one with more regular hours.</description><pubDate>Thu, 17 Apr 2008 18:25:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Kelli Anderson: Over the Hump</title><link>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/kelli_anderson/04/01/final.four0407/index.html</link><guid>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/kelli_anderson/04/01/final.four0407/index.html</guid><description>The last time Stanford made it to the women's Final Four, in 1997, the Cardinal's two national titles (won in 1990 and '92) were twice as many as Connecticut's total and half as many as Tennessee's. Since then, those two powers have collected seven more championships between them, while Stanford's program has struggled to keep pace. In 2004, '05 and '06 the Cardinal made it to the Elite Eight, only to be stopped there every year. Last season's exit was even more distressing as Stanford, second-seeded, lost to 10th-seeded Florida State at home in the second round. "It was awful the way we ended last year," says 5' 11 1/2" senior guard Candice Wiggins, the Pac-10's alltime leading scorer.</description><pubDate>Tue, 01 Apr 2008 13:57:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Kelli Anderson:  Women's Spokane Regional breakdown</title><link>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/kelli_anderson/03/18/west.bracket/index.html</link><guid>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/kelli_anderson/03/18/west.bracket/index.html</guid><description>Underrated:  Pittsburgh.

The last two years the football team handed the Razorbacks back-to-back humiliations (combined score 120-31). The Trojans' 77-60 win tonight was more of the same, making the Hogs' unlikely trip to the tournament a short one. While Arkansas had a significant height advantage, they didn't take advantage of it. Taking coach Tim Floyd's keys to the game -- defense and rebounding -- to heart, the Trojans held the Razorbacks, 35 percent 3-point shooters, to 15 percent shooting from the arc. Most significantly, they outrebounded them 39-26, a stat that Floyd admitted surprised him.</description><pubDate>Sat, 17 Mar 2007 06:20:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>The 10 Spot: March 15, 2007</title><link>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/pete_mcentegart/03/15/ten.spot/index.html</link><guid>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/pete_mcentegart/03/15/ten.spot/index.html</guid><description>1.
