BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Eleventh seed Dayton has reached the Sweet 16 in the NCAA men's basketball tournament by stunning No. 3 Syracuse 55-53.
The Flyers held on after Jordan Sibert hit a 3-pointer with 44 seconds left to put them ahead 52-46. Dyshawn Pierre scored 14 points for Dayton, which next faces either Kansas or Stanford in the South Regional semifinals Thursday in Memphis.
A pair of Big 10 teams barely avoided upsets in the NCAA tournament.
Frank Kaminsky scored 19 points and second seed Wisconsin rallied from a 12-point halftime deficit to beat No. 7 Oregon 85-77 and advance to the regional semifinals.

Arizona led by 21 in the first half and continued to work over Gonzaga to earn its third trip to the Sweet 16 in four years.

|Dragon baseball improves to 10-0 with wins over Yuma
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
The Dragon baseball squad became the top-ranked team in the Lower Platte League with a pair of victories over the Yuma Indians Saturday, April 13.
The two teams entered the doubleheader as the only undefeated teams in the league. After winning 7-5 and 4-3, HHS extended their winning streak to 10 games, giving them a perfect 10-0 record on the season.

Holyoke 7, Yuma 5
Holyoke batters turned Yuma outfielders into long-distance runners as the defenders frequently had to chase down balls that were hit over their heads and into gaps in the first few innings. The Dragons put up three runs in the first inning on the strength of a two-run double by Logan Tharp and a double by Trevor Dalton that scored one. Both hits were to the center-field fence.
Two more Dragons crossed home in the second inning as a Brett Cumming double to deep center scored Logan Zeiler. Brett Cumming scored two batters later on a single by Jaydin Goldenstein.
Yuma rallied in the third inning, scoring their first two runs of the day.
Holyoke matched them, scoring two runs of their own in the bottom half of the inning. Deyten Klein hit his third home run of the season in the inning with a solo blast over the left-field fence.
"We have to be able to make routine plays," coach John Zilla said. "Our bats came through for us with Yuma, but we still have to make routine plays to get better."
HHS stayed quiet the remainder of the game, but piled up enough offense in the first three innings to outlast the Yuma Indians for a 7-5 win.
Alfredo Santos gave up seven hits, walked two batters and hit one batter for five runs, three earned, while striking out eight in 4 2/3 innings of work for the Dragons. Dalton picked up the save, throwing the final 1 1/3 innings of play. He struck out four of the five batters he faced, allowing just one hit in the process.
Brett Cumming and Dalton led the Dragons with two hits apiece while six other Dragons reached base on one hit in the contest.

Holyoke 4, Yuma 3
Despite falling behind early in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader, the Dragons were able to rally from a 3-0 deficit to win by a score of 4-3.
The Indians scored two runs in the opening inning and added another run in the third to jump out to a 3-0 lead.
Momentum shifted in Holyoke's favor in the bottom of the fourth inning when Goldenstein launched his fourth home run of the season past the left-field fence to light up the scoreboard for the first time in the game for the Dragons.
After Brett Cumming doubled off the left-field fence in the fifth inning, scoring Dylan Kotch, Goldenstein once again provided a clutch hit for the home team. He sent a hit past the Yuma shortstop for a two-run single to give HHS a 4-3 lead.
With Klein on the mound and the defense making no errors in the final innings, the Dragons held on to the lead to win 4-3.
Coach Zilla believes part of the team's success stems from how the Dragon hitters can mentally and physically wear down opposing pitchers.
"We are solid 1-9," Zilla said. "That really helps us offensively because we can score at any given time."
Klein pitched a complete game, allowing three runs, just one earned, on six hits and one walked batter. Klein got the best of a number of Indian batters, striking out 11 of the 27 batters in the game.
Goldenstein and Jesus Hermosillo each had a two-hit performance in the game. Goldenstein knocked in three runs in the match as well.
Upcoming action
The Dragons were scheduled to face Sedgwick County Monday, April 15 but due to the weather, it has been postponed until Tuesday, April 30.
HHS will travel to Limon Saturday, April 20.

Kreitler Forkstand $0.00
Take off your front wheel and attach your fork to the Forkstand if you want the unparalleled road-like feel of Kreitler rollers without having to focus so much on balance. Ideal for when you have nasty speedwork workouts planned for a roller ride.

Built solid
Contrary to what the other reviewers found, these are great to transform your rollers to a stationary when you just don't want to focus on balance. Great for cadence and one legged work outs.
For those who find the bolts come undone; make sure to put something soft underneath your rollers and forkstand (i.e. trainer mat or carpet).
Good addition to Kreitler rollers
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This fork stand is good to have if you can't do hard intervals and keep your balance on the rollers or if you just want to ride without full concentration. The added flexibility this provides, is better for me than a fixed rear wheel trainer. The quality is excellent, only minor issues is having to tighten the fork nuts occasionally.
Poor quality
Good build but poor quality. It would not even out to the floor when tightening the four bolts. The right side or the left side legs would be uneven when fully tighten so you would rock from side to side.

I have cyclops rollers. will the kreitler forkstand be compatable with cyclops rollers?
Kreitler Forkstand
I'm so happy to have this stablizing fork stand for my Kreitler Rollers.
I've recently had knee surgery and the only way I could have felt comfortable to ride on the rollers was to pick up the front fork stand.
I feel totally confident; can ride hands free if need be...no worries about balance, etc.
Thanks to Realcyclists for keeping the pricing and shipping so reasonable!
Kreitler Forkstand
I recently broke my collar bone racing at Major Taylor Velodrome. Using the new forkstand with my rollers has allowed me to get back on the bike much sooner since I was not able to use my right arm to help with balance. Once I am healed, I will still use it on some of my recovery workouts so I can watch the news on TV without worrying about balance. I would recommend the forkstand to anyone who needs to temporally convert their rollers into a "trainer".

PORT CLINTON, Ohio (AP) — Ohio wildlife officials say Lake Erie's walleye and perch hatches were below average last year, but that shouldn't impact fishing this year.
The News-Herald of Port Clinton (http://ohne.ws/10wzITr) reports that tests run last August in the lake helped the Division of Wildlife figure out that the hatches were below average.
Fish biologist Jeff Tyson says it takes two years for walleye and perch to grow into the fishery, so anglers won't start catching and keeping those new fish until 2014.
Strong walleye and perch hatches from earlier years should help make up for the down year.
Wildlife officials say they are continuing to study what creates a good hatch, and that there's not one single factor.

According to the latest online survey- yesterday- WV is the third poorest state in the USA now. What will the candidates do to reverse this in terms of new job growth. Coal is not the answer now. In fact the coal decline will propel the state to the bottom.
I have not heard any solutions put forth. No one seems to have any future plans for change.

The only way to save the Democratic Party is to shock it into representing people again and not national/international ideologies. Send TWO Republican Senators to D.C. if even for one term to let the people who run the party know that WV is no longer a state that will vote Dem and then be shafted by the Dem Party. Notice Obama never campaigned in WV? Never set foot in the state until Big Branch so he could have an anti-coal photo op. Manchin is the most easily bought party toad in America he will forsake us for a TV camera and a pat on the head. He thinks his stupid shucks grin is enough to fool us..well it does the idiots, but he needs to go away. Send Capito to D.C. to replace Rockefeller who just used WV as a ticket to the big power dance. The DNC hates WV, why would you send another party toad (Tennant) to D.C. to sell us out? I am a lifelong Dem, I WILL vote for Capito. She has voted for WV, not Manchin, Rocky, Rahall, Mollohan et al. Time to change the bath water

Color blindness usually affects a person's ability to tell the difference between shades of red and green or shades of blue and yellow. Complete color blindness, which is rare, causes a person to see most objects in shades of gray.
Color blindness is when light-sensing receptors in the eye do not work properly.
Most color blindness is inherited. Less frequently, color blindness is caused by a disease that affects the optic nerve or retina. This is referred to as acquired color blindness.
Risk Factors
Heredity is the main risk factor for color blindness. If your mother, father, or grandparents were color blind, you may have the gene(s) that cause color blindness. The condition is also more common in men.
The following risk factors increase your chance of developing acquired color blindness:
- Having certain diseases, such as glaucoma and macular degeneration
- Taking certain medications that can damage the retina and optic nerve, such as hydroxychloroquine
People with color blindness cannot distinguish between some colors, especially red and green or blue and yellow.
Most people with inherited color blindness do not have symptoms. However, they may not see colors the same way as others without color blindness.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. An eye exam and vision test will be done. Or, you will be referred to an ophthalmologist (eye specialist) for testing. You may want to consider going to an eye specialist first. The eye specialist may be better able to make a diagnosis.
Your vision will be tested. This can be done with:
- Ishihara plates test
- An arrangement test
There is no cure for inherited color blindness. Most people with color blindness learn methods to tell the difference between colors.
Talk with your doctor about coping skills. Depending on the level of color blindness, some doctors recommend using color-corrective glasses or contact lenses.
In some cases of acquired color blindness or deficiency, treatment of the medical problem may correct the color blindness.
To help reduce your chances of getting acquired color blindness, discuss your use of prescribed medications with your doctor.

For monitoring runs on the day-to-day; runs great The watch is a very good "fitness watch" and Garmin has a very good site for input of your run data... I recommend this watch because it works as advertised and (probably because newer models have come out from Garmin) it is cheaper than the others.... March 2, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by 8burst Very happy with the Garmin Forerunner 10 I think this is an excellent product for its price. It is easy to use, seems to hold its charge for a reasonable time, connects to satellites fairly quickly, and recharges in about 4 hours. January 26, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by GVS3 Love the Product! I love my new Forerunner10. I wear it every time that I run, walk or bike. Once linked with Garmin Connect website, it does a great job reporting everything about my exercise (time, fastest pace, temperature, elevation, etc.). I only wish that the wristband was a little longer. I highly recommend this product for the runner that enjoys keeping track of their progress. January 12, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5�by jackie27 Finding satellite for GPS takes 5-10 minutes All the other feature were great, but when I actually try to use it, this watch takes 5-10 minutes to find my location. I am in a college town, so we have good connection. My other watches and phones never have an issue finding the satellite. I have already reset this watch, it just doesn't work well. January 9, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Deafmanwalking GREAT EQUIPMENT AT A GREAT PRICE This is a replacement for my original Forerunner which lasted over ten years through thousands of miles of running and biking. I should add I have several Garmin products and love all of them. Anyway the new Garmin was on sale and I checked several places including the manufactures web page and could not beat the price and so I ordered if from Dick's. My order arrived three days after I hit the purchase button on line and since I have received it I have been 100% satisfied with the unit. I would highly recommend any Garmin product and also recommend that if and when you shop you start at Dick's. September 29, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by Wendy great watch for the price I love the watch.Howver, it does take a couple minutes to find your location and the battery only last 2-3 days. I have discovered if I shut the watch off between uses it prolongs the battery life. It is easy to read during a run and beeps if you are behind pace or on pace which helps keep me on track during a run. It is easy to download my runs and tracks my route on a map and puts my results in a graph format. It is easy to change run options on the watch from pace to distance. It is user friendly. I think it a great watch for moderate runner. I have not used it yet on a run longer than 6 miles so I am not sure how it would perform for a 1/2 marathon. I've only had it for 2 weeks. It is comfortable but not stylish enough for me to wear out around town, but that is not why I bought it. July 3, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by crafk Just what I wanted. The Garmin Forerunner 10 is a simple easy to use product, no overwhelming bells and whistles that I didn't want or need. It tracks your location, miles, pace, distance and overall time. That's all I wanted to track my running. Plus it's a WATCH, it will tell you the time and date. A super easy device and not too large. June 7, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by gnurunner helpful for running Has helped me work on pacing. Not too big. Easy to scroll pages. June 7, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Tdm713 Excellent! This gps watch does what it's supposed to! If your looking for a entry level watch to track your runs then you can't beat this one. It has worked great for me so far! April 13, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Tarkwin03 Great watch Great features, would recommend this to anyone who wants to keep track of their running. Only fault is sometimes it takes a little long to locate when starting run, but still a great item. March 22, 2015

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Draymond Green finished a go-ahead layup with
less than a second remaining to lift the Golden State Warriors to a 97-95
triumph over the Miami Heat on Wednesday at AmericanAirlines Arena.
With the game knotted, 95-95, and under 30 seconds remaining, Heat guard Shane
Battier missed a 3-pointer from the left corner and the rebound bounced out of
bounds, giving Golden State possession with 11.4 seconds left.
Jarrett Jack then dribbled around at the top of the key before firing a pass
down low for Green, who finished the layup with 0.9 ticks on the clock to give
Golden State a two-point edge.
The Heat had one final shot after a timeout, but LeBron James' turnaround
jumper from the baseline clanked off the rim and the Warriors escaped with
their fifth straight road victory.
David Lee recorded a double-double with 22 points and 13 rebounds, while Klay
Thompson tallied a team-high 27 points and Jack finished with a season-high 20
points for the Warriors, who have won eight of nine overall.
James poured in a game-high 31 points and Chris Bosh followed with 21 points
and 13 boards in the setback, Miami's third in its last five games.

Are achromats enjoying a come back?
Posted 11 November 2012 - 09:52 AM
Posted 11 November 2012 - 10:25 AM
"There seems to be a resurgence in interest in the achromatic scopes."
Nah, it's just that the folks who normally haunt the Classics forum have finally discovered that there are other forums on CN.
I "get" achromats when a good one can be had at a given aperture for materially less money than a like-apertured ED doublet or triplet. Indeed when I bought my Antares 105/1500 it was just $650 and the competing 4" ED doublets from Synta were $900. What I don't "get" though is paying more for an achromat of a given aperture than you could pay for a decent quality RD triplet or doublet. Other than indulging one's curiosity, I feel there's little logic in such a move.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 10:54 AM
They are indeed!
It's great isn't it?
Let me tell you why, in my opinion.
Apochromats are transitional technology.
There are innovations on the way that will allow flat lenses with perfect optical correction to be made cheaply. It will be scalable too.
See here for details:
Apochromats will be phased out eventually.....like all other types of transitional technology.
Then, Nostalgic Man, suffering from a kind of poverty of the imagination, will seek out achromats above all other telescopic relics from the past. For these were the first kinds of refractors that were corrected well enough to give both an accurate and picturesque simulacrum of the heavenly bodies, as history so nobly attests to.
Achromats have a future (because they are the true gems in the box); apochromats don't.
Enjoy your Vixen achromat; one day it will fetch a whole lot more than a TEC, Tak or AP.
My two cents.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 11:24 AM
Maybe the imaging side carried over too much into the visual side, as in imaging you cannot put up with CA. Whereas in visual some people simply don't worry about CA and on dim objects the CA may well not be noticable. Why pay 3-5x for something that is of no concern or relevance.
You will have to accept a longer scope and I would say there is a practical limit to length, guess about 1.2 metre focal length.
The available glass types are now more varied, perhaps manufacturers do not use an ED glass, but they might use one that is closer to ED then what was around 15-20 years ago. Still achro but better then previously available.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 11:54 AM
If you want a 6 inch refractor and don't want to sell one of your kids to buy it, the achromat is the only game in town. You use your scopes for their intended purpose. Play to the strengths of the design and you will be happy. I just picked a 6" achromat and I'm having fun exploring many classic dso's that my other scopes just can't show off, like this scope. So yes I think they are, and should make a come back.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 12:51 PM
Posted 11 November 2012 - 01:47 PM
Now if you have a TAK or TEC that you want to swap to get my Vixen I'd be glad to help you out.
No Sir, I don't own one of these kinds of instruments any more.
I gave the last one I had away. God knows where it is now.
Here's that story, with no regrets.
I do however have a very nice 6" f/8 ED doublet on loan right now for an up-and-coming magazine review.
Kind Regards,
Posted 11 November 2012 - 02:07 PM
Refractors are illogical any way you slice it.
I don't think so. They do have their niches, which they serve well. One thing they do better than anything else in my experience, is wide-field deep-sky observing. They also cool down quickly and so if you have only a limited amount of time for lunar-planetary observing, a refractor is the way to go. They are also superior for solar observing. Double star observing is also one of their traditional niches.
Clear skies!

That being related, I'm wanting another achromat, with said Antares f/15 appearing more and more desirable, especially with its Japanese doublet, if I'm not mistaken, and costing less than that of the Skylight produced in London.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 03:05 PM
Apochromats are transitional technology.
120 Years and counting !
Interesting comment Neil.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 03:16 PM
There's nothing wrong with make-believe, of course. It can be fun. Who doesn't like dressing in Elizabethan garb, hefting a tankard in one hand and turkey leg in the other, and talking funny? But that doesn't signal a return to relevance of Elizabethan culture, fashion or speech mannerisms. It's just recreational "pretending".
Just as the achromat rendered the Keplerian and other singlets largely irrelevant, so too the apochromat has rendered the achromat largely irrelevant (in a commercial sense), and indeed something new will eventually relegate the apochromat to oblivion as well. But that's tomorrow. Today, the relevance of refractors is all about apochromats. Far more energy is devoted to making better aporchromats than any other refractor design presently.
In thirty years, the pretentious re-enactors will be using A-Ps, TECs and Taks, and find all kinds of justifications for clinging to those designs, other than technical superiority. Today, though, the refractor anachronists cling to achromats. But don't feel bad. You should hear what those Keplerian fanboys are saying about both achromats and apochromats!

If you can swing it, Alan, go for the Skylight instead. I've had an Antares f/15 (actually f/14.3) and now have the Skylight f/13. The Antares did a pretty good job, but the views through the Skylight are much more crisp, and it will handle a whole lot more magnification than the Antares before the image starts to break down. The construction of the Skylight is much, much better, and the focuser is a huge improvement over the one provided on the Antares scope. I hesitated at the cost, but it was well worth it.
I never would have believed it if I hadn't seen it for myself. A well-figured achromatic lens is really something special. If you've ever looked through a Zeiss Telementor or the 80/1200 Zeiss, you'll understand what I'm referring to.
And you can dispense with the Elizabethan garb -- they only wear that in some strange area of California located north of San Francisco.

Just as the achromat replaced Galileans and Keplerians,
The achromat hasn't replaced the galileian and keplerian telescopes, but improved them. The optical layout of the modern apochromatic telescope, with a positive eyepiece, is still, technically, called a keplerian telescope. Likewise, you can buy small achromatic galileian binoculars for use in theaters and operas or even as ultra-specialized 2.8x40 glasses for observing the milky way with 28° TFOV. There's a tremendous difference in their level of sophistication, but all modern telescopes and binoculars are based on the same basic optical principles Galileo and Kepler found.
Know where a guy can buy a quality Keplerian these days?
Almost everywhere. Even shopping malls. OK, you said "quality", so maybe not shopping malls...
the apochromat has rendered the achromat largely irrelevant (in a commercial sense)
No, not yet. Achromats still outnumber apochromats by a huge number. Think binoculars, spottingscopes and rifle scopes. Rarely are these apochromats and they outsell amateur telescopes by huge amounts.
Clear skies!
Thomas, Denmark
Posted 11 November 2012 - 03:46 PM
At a guess ?? more achromats have been produced in the last 20 years, than the preceeding 300 ! So how they have been replaced with apos is an interesting assumption.
I know everyone is looking for the latest big thing !
Just like diffractive optics were going to make all other lens types obsolete 40 years ago , now we have this development.
Suggest we don't hold our breath !!
Posted 11 November 2012 - 04:32 PM
Posted 11 November 2012 - 04:58 PM
I, too, enjoy observing binaries and will take your advice in regard to the Skylight over the Antares. Thanks.
Incidentally, how often does the weather allow for clear nights there in the Northwest?
Posted 11 November 2012 - 05:08 PM
I'll stick with my 2 Achro's for now....until I win a multi-million dollar lottery
Posted 11 November 2012 - 07:29 PM
Over the past 24 months I've been able to directly compare good 4" and 5" achromats with my Vixen 102mm F/6.5 and Skywatcher 120mm F/7.5 ED doublets and I've concluded that I won't be moving back (and that's how I see it) to achromats.
In short my ED's did everything the achromats did a little better and are much easier to mount steadily to boot.
My ED's are both older models so both cost me less than scopes such as the Skylight achromats and Antares 105mm F/15's.
It's good to find these things out for yourself though, if you can, and let the views you get be your guide

It's almost like you read my mind.
I use my Sky-Watcher 80mm achro for solar, lunar and planetary viewing. I love the tack-sharp images that it produces and the focuser is butter-smooth.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 10:03 PM
The current four-inch triplet is described within advertisements as a "New Design", perhaps a ploy designed to mask Takahashi's necessary exodus from true fluorite, however Takahashi still produces fluorite elements, but only in 60mm and 90mm sizes, and then skips to this leviathan...THE FET...
...all the scope you'd ever need, and then some.
Imagine all the used four-inch Takahashi fluorite refractors on sale in this ad or that, right now, with perhaps many of the sellers patently oblivious given the above, unless they're selling to acquire a larger one, whether it be an FS-152 or the astronomically-priced TOA-150, the latter a non-fluorite but optically excellent nonetheless in comparison to the former, though not nearly as aesthetic in that it is an evolution beyond pomp and circumstance.
Get them while they last, before someone else gets a clue...
On the other hand, there's just something about a plain and simple, good, old-fashioned crown and flint achromat that beckons. I can't explain it, as it's ineffable, or perhaps it's the child seemingly lost in all of us, regardless of technological advancements and monetary considerations; Elizabethan ruffs even, which I would sport in a heartbeat, but only on Halloween or in a past life.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 10:13 PM
I now own a few refractors the largest being 150mm
Yes with low cost Objectives coming out of China and recently some of the better ones from Japan, USA ..etc can be purchsed at "reasonable" prices I believe they are making a comeback.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 10:30 PM
We've come a long way.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 10:53 PM
Refractors and EPs sure have come along way since the late 70s...
Posted 12 November 2012 - 01:24 AM
I am sure the achromats will stay around as cheap alternatives for a long time to come, in my view they never left the amateur scene!
They will still be sold as entry level telescopes or for aficionados that are ready to spend more on hand figured achros with long focal lengths.
But let's be honest the market place has changed with the relatively cheap and always improving ED's out of China. Better color correction with shorter easier to mount tubes are hard to pass - especially when available on the used market.
I personally do not plan to go back to my first and second scope which were 70mm and 100mm Achros by now I am spoiled by more capable APO's!
best regards

Hundreds gather at Arlington National Cemetery to honor the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks.

ARLINGTON, Va. – All over the country, people are gathering to remember the victims of the Sept. 11th attacks.
On Sunday, hundreds of people gathered at Arlington National Cemetery to walk around the hallowed grounds and observe wreath-laying ceremonies at the Pentagon Memorial and the Tomb of the Unknowns.
"It's good to remind ourselves that freedom isn't free," Cpl. David Bixler, who knows the cost of freedom all too well. He was on a routine mission in Afghanistan when the enemy attacked.
"I blew up…Two mortars strapped together with enough explosives to take out a platoon," he says.
Bixler saved his team but lost both of his legs.
"Nevertheless, I consider it a win because everyone came out alive from that event," he says. "And we shouldn't have. So it was a win, a success. I have no regrets. I'm happy with the consequences."
He told the walkers to never forget the service members who gave the ultimate sacrifice to preserve and protect the United States.
Participants walked more than two miles around the cemetery to the Memorial Amphitheater, where a wreath-laying ceremony took place at the Tomb of the Unknowns.
Operation Homefront, which organized Freedom Walk 2013, provides assistance to families of service members and wounded warriors. The event was sponsored by Booz Allen Hamilton.

Our Partners in Conservation
The Nature Conservancy pursues non-confrontational, pragmatic, market-based solutions to conservation challenges. This makes it essential for us to work collaboratively with partners — with communities, companies, government agencies, multilateral institutions, individuals and other non-profit organizations around the globe.
Governmental Agencies
In the United States, we work with federal government agencies, such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), the National Park Service (NPS) and the Department of Defense (DOD) as well as agencies at the state and local level.
For decades The Nature Conservancy has recognized that the private sector has an important role to play in advancing our conservation mission. In that spirit, we are working with companies large and small around the world to help change business practices and policies, raise awareness of conservation issues, and raise funds to support important new science and conservation projects.
- The Conservancy and Dow Chemical Company are working together on a breakthrough collaboration that will ultimately help Dow incorporate the value of nature into its company-wide goals, strategies and business objectives.
- We are using science to help large companies like Coca-Cola determine their "water footprint" — a key strategy for keeping more water available for people, plants and animals.
- Working with 23 communities, The Conservancy is protecting forests and helping communities by bringing Fair Trade cocoa to Papua New Guinea.
Learn more about how we are collaborating with companies for conservation.
Non-Profit Organizations
The Conservancy works with other like-minded organizations, ranging from large non-profit conservation groups like Conservation International and NatureServe, to local land trusts. For example:
- Explore the Natural Capital Project, a partnership among the Conservancy, WWF, and Stanford University designed to make conservation economically attractive and commonplace throughout the world.
- Learn how the Conservancy is supporting the Toledo Institute for Development and Environment (TIDE) to protect the natural wonder and resources of Belize.
Local Stakeholders
The Conservancy works in cooperation with private landowners and local stakeholders, such as ranchers, farmers and fishermen, to ensure good ecological management while continuing to support the local economy. For example:
- Learn how the Conservancy is working with local ranchers in California's Mount Hamilton Project
- Learn how the Conservancy is using sustainable aquaculture in Long Island's Great South Bay.
Indigenous and Traditional Communities
Most of the world's biodiversity exists in areas inhabited by people. Effective conservation cannot be achieved unless the people who live and rely on those lands are an integral part of the conservation process. For more than 50 years, The Nature Conservancy has depended upon partnerships with indigenous people and local communities to conserve some of the most biologically critical and threatened ecosystems on Earth.
- Learn more about the Conservancy's active involvement with indigenous people and communities.
Multilateral-Bilateral Institutions
Although our primary conservation method since The Nature Conservancy began working outside the U.S. has been allocating and designing funding sources for conservation, more and more we are understanding that successful conservation strategies must include partnerships with governments, lending institutions, and other non-governmental organizations at all levels local, national and international. For example:
- In 2002, the Conservancy worked with the World Wildlife Fund using funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development to launch the Indonesia Illegal Logging Project, a $10 million partnership that addresses illegal logging supply side issues in Indonesia and demand-side issues in major international markets such as China and Japan.
- The Conservancy has partnered with UNDP and others in the Equator Initiative, which was launched at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, South Africa in September 2002.
- The Conservancy established a new network of organizations collaborating on conservation finance initiatives — the Conservation Finance Alliance (CFA). Members in May 2003 were The Nature Conservancy, Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, Wildlife Conservation Society, Conservation International, World Wildlife Fund, USAID, German Government Agency for Technical Assistance (GTZ), National Parks Conservation Association (US), and RedLAC.
- The Global Conservation Program Leader with Associates Cooperative Agreements is a $75 million biodiversity program supported by USAID and six other conservation partners: African Wildlife Foundation, Conservation International, Enterprise WorksWorldwide, Wildlife Conservation Society, World Wildlife Fund, and The Nature Conservancy.
- The goal of the GCP is to conserve globally significant areas of biodiversity through broad programs that are sustainable, focused and adaptive. The GCP has awarded the Conservancy with funding to Kimbe Bay in Papua New Guinea, Wakatobi National Park and Raja Ampat in Indonesia, the MesoAmerican Reef system just off the Caribbean coast of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala and Honduras and the Pantanal/Chaco region in Paraguay. At these sites, the Conservancy is investing in innovative conservation finance mechanisms along with site-based conservation initiatives with partners and local communities.

Smell the Coffee: No dressing-down over dressing down
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- I miss hiding Easter eggs. I miss decorating baskets and rationing chocolate and picking synthetic grass out of the carpet.
But I don't miss the whole Easter dress drama.
When my daughter was little, she loved wearing dresses. She just never loved wearing them on Sundays, holidays, to weddings or funerals or pretty much any occasion that would warrant a dress.
Especially Easter.
Oh, Celeste was game for wearing dresses when playing outside, when riding bikes, when rolling in freshly mowed grass or hanging upside-down from playground equipment. Just not for Easter. And never, ever, not once would she wear a hat.
A few weekends ago, we were at my parents' house when Celeste spotted her school picture from first grade. In the photo, she's wearing a pretty purple and white dress. She pointed to it and smiled.
"I remember that dress. You paid me to wear it that day, didn't you?" Celeste asked. "Ten bucks, if I remember it right."
She remembered it wrong. It was twenty. I didn't have a smaller bill and she wouldn't make change.
It was worth every cent.
At the time, she'd been thoroughly enamored with a pair of bell-bottom jeans that were worn raggedy thin at the knees. Those battered knees, she insisted, made them even more fashionable. She loved those jeans. So much that she wore them every flipping day.
I was embarrassed to go to school functions, certain the teachers and other parents believed me so poor I couldn't afford other clothes for my child. I wanted to pin photos of her well-stocked closet to her backpack as evidence that she wasn't a victim of fashion neglect.
I was feeling like the worst mom ever when I happened across a conversation at a birthday party for one of her classmates.
"Sorry about the boots," one mom said. "She won't wear anything else."
"Look at mine," said the other mom. "Flip-flops. There's an inch of snow on the ground."
"You pick your battles," Boots Mom said.
"I picked it," Flip-Flops said. "I lost."
So absorbed was I with the inappropriateness of my own child's garb that I failed to notice the other children were, for the most part, equally bizarre.
Fast-forward a decade or so.
You know that saying, "The more things change, the more they stay the same"? Well, my girl is still enjoying walking a few steps off the beaten path. These days, she loves Goodwill. She's especially fond of the men's department. Where she searches out bizarre sweatshirts.
One day last week, she went to school wearing a black sweatshirt that had "No. 1 Principal" written in rainbow lettering across the front. On the back, it said, "Paul."
The day before, it was a Christmas sweatshirt declaring that she "Delivers Happiness."
Next, I think she'll be on Halloween.
I'm tempted to photograph and publicize her closet, which is now -- just like then -- stocked with many adorable clothes.
Normal clothes.
Although truth be told, I'm more fond of the part of the closet that's not.

The question is as simple as the title. I am simply wondering, 'When is the earliest recorded date of this tradition?'

According to Gibbons:
It appears that the creeping in of images was long before the schism that brought about the RC and EO traditions -- so though your question apparently concerns post-schism timeline, I hope this answer is relevant.
See also the Catholic Encyclopedia on the Council of Elvira/Elliberis/Illiberis for arguments on dates.
The oldest icon I can imagine would be the one written by St Luke of Our Lady holding the infant Jesus regardless of whether you give any merit to the tradition that it was indeed done by him who was undoubtably the most well aquatinted man in the early Church with the Blessed Virgin Mary, excepting maybe St John the Evangelist, it is certainly an old picture and has been in the keeping of the St Mary Major for a very long time (~1700 years)

Dave Rexroth, WXYZ's chief meteorologist, seriously injured in fireworks accident in Iowa
(WXYZ) - WXYZ-TV Chief Meteorologist Dave Rexroth was seriously injured in a fireworks accident while vacationing with his family in Iowa City, Iowa. The accident, which happened on Friday night, caused Dave to lose sight in his left eye.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with Dave and his family and they have our full support during this difficult time. As Dave recovers, we'll provide updates on his progress – and we look forward to his return to Action News," said Ed Fernandez, vice president and general manager of WXYZ.
