WASHINGTON, D.C. – Amid the bright orchids of the U.S. Botanic Garden sits a 200-year history of protecting America’s most fragile plants.“We're a living repository for rare and endangered plants,” said Saharah Moon Chapotin, director of the garden.The U.S. Botanic Garden is the oldest one in the country, an idea envisioned by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. It’s about to celebrate its 200th year. About 60,000 plants, lying within several acres in the heart of Washington, D.C.Conservation at the garden is always in season.“Many of our plants are rare and endangered and we are providing a home for them,” Chapotin said.Here in the U.S. there are 1,300 species that are considered threatened or endangered. Nearly 20 percent of those are plants adding up to hundreds of flora on the brink.Some already fell off the cliff, like Hawaii’s “Cabbage on a Stick.” Because of overdevelopment, the insect that pollinated it disappeared and in 2014, the plant went extinct in the wild, too.There are others endangered, too, like a cactus from Arizona and bushes which are native to Florida. Endangered plants don’t always get the kind of attention endangered animals do.“Often people do think about animals they have faces and they're sort of cute,” USBG deputy director Susan Pell. “So, we kind of think people generally can sort of sympathize with them a little bit more, than maybe with a plant that they're not familiar with.”At the garden, they emphasize how much plants are tied to the habitat of endangered animals, at risk from invasive species, development and climate change.“They're really interconnected and so I think plants are a fundamental part of conserving environment and conserving habitats,” Chapotin said. “And if you just focus on conserving the animals you're leaving out a huge part of the equation in terms of the plants.”That all adds up to a continuing mission of saving plants there in the hopes of one day taking those that are now extinct outside the walls and reintroducing them back to Mother Nature. 2049

Virginia's redemption tour isn't finished yet. And for Texas Tech, their greatness may just be beginning.A year after becoming the first No. 1 seed in men's college basketball history to lose to a No. 16 seed in the NCAA tournament, Virginia has reached the title game, defeating No. 5 seed Auburn at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis."To think this time last year we were starting our spring workouts, and to still be playing at this point in the season with, after tonight, one other team in the whole country on the stage that you dreamed about since you were a little kid, it's an unreal feeling," Virginia guard Ty Jerome said. "We're going to do everything we can to finish the job."The Cavaliers will face No. 3 seed Texas Tech, a bit of a surprise finalist. The Red Raiders, in their first Final Four, beat No. 2 seed Michigan State 61-51 in a tough battle in the second semifinal."Why not us?" Texas Tech head coach Chris Beard said. "We've got good players. We've got a great university. We play in arguably the best league in the country. We won the Big 12 regular season title. We're a good team. We've got good players. I think we deserve to be here."The men's championship is Monday at 9 p.m. ET. It will be the first meeting between the two programs, and neither team has won a national title.Controversial endingVirginia's win was far from assured.Auburn had a 62-60 lead with 1.5 seconds left. But Virginia's Kyle Guy was fouled by Auburn's Samir Doughty while launching a buzzer-beater attempt with 0.6 seconds remaining. He hit all three free throws, giving the Cavaliers the 63-62 victory."These are moments that every basketball player has dreamed of, hitting the game-winning shot or free throws or whatever," Guy said. "Kind of had that feeling in your stomach, like a good nervousness, like, all right, this is my chance. To be able to go to the national championship off of that for these guys and (head coach Tony) Bennett, I mean, I really don't have the words."J.D. Collins, the NCAA's national coordinator of officiating, gave a statement regarding the foul."The call was made by official James Breeding, who ruled that Doughty moved into the airborne shooter, making contact with Guy while taking away his landing spot," Collins said. "The foul was a violation of Rule 4, Section 39.i, which states, 'Verticality applies to a legal position and also to both the offensive and defensive players. The basic components of the principle of verticality are: The defender may not "belly up" or use the lower part of the body or arms to cause contact outside his vertical plane or inside the opponent's vertical plane.'"In addition to the foul, there was a no-call that has fans talking. It appeared officials missed a double dribble by Jerome, which happened a few seconds before Guy was fouled. If that turnover had been called, Auburn, instead of Virginia, would have had the ball late."I do feel for Auburn, but I feel better for us right now, and I'm just thankful these guys stepped up and played the way we needed to and got through," Bennett said. "Survive and advance, I guess that's taking on a new meaning."Jerome led all scorers with 21 points. Guy had 15, while De'Andre Hunter had 14 for Virginia.Doughty had 13 points for Auburn, while Bryce Brown and Jared Harper had 12 and 11 points, respectively.A football school playing for a basketball titleTexas Tech has just one team sport with a national championship in school history. That came from the women's basketball team in 1993 led by the legendary Sheryl Swoopes.The men's basketball team now has the chance to make it two.A school these days better known for football -- NFL MVP and former Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes was in attendance on Saturday -- Texas Tech and its Red Raiders have made a swift ascension.Thanks to a stingy defense, Texas Tech (31-6) knocked off No. 2 seed Michigan and No. 1 seed Gonzaga to reach the Final Four, and now Michigan State (32-7).Led by Beard for the past three seasons, Texas Tech is now in the championship game a year after reaching the Elite Eight. The Associated Press coach of the year has only been coaching in Division I -- the highest level in the NCAA -- for four years.He previously coached in Division II for Angelo State and McMurry University (both in Texas) and for the American Basketball Association's (ABA) South Carolina Warriors. His first two head coaching opportunities came at the junior college level with Fort Scott Community College in Kansas and Seminole State College in Oklahoma."I wouldn't trade my experiences for anything," Beard said earlier this week when accepting the AP coach of the year award. "I'm very proud of my background, in small college and junior college and Division II. I feel like I represent a lot of people, maybe people I don't even know."The rosters' leaders include seniors Norense Odiase, Tariq Owens and Matt Mooney as well as sophomore Jarrett Culver. On Saturday, Mooney -- who had stops at Air Force and South Dakota before arriving at Texas Tech for this season -- was the game's top scorer with 22 points on 8-of-16 shooting."It's been a heck of a journey," Mooney said. "A lot of people have helped me get to this point, have helped me along the way. You know, this is -- I'm living the dream right now."Cassius Winston had 16 points for Michigan State."Very seldom in my career have we kind of got out beat up, and tonight was one of those nights," Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo, who falls to 2-6 in national semifinal games, said.No blue bloodsWinning a title would be a fitting end considering how 2018 ended for Virginia. After being shocked by No. 16 seed University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) in the NCAA tournament last season, Virginia (34-3) is the lone No. 1 seed to reach the Final Four this year.This year's NCAA men's Final Four has a bit of a different feel to it. Missing this year are the well-known established blue bloods: This is the first Final Four since 1987 that doesn't have Duke, North Carolina, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville or UCLA.Instead, the most experienced team to make the Final Four -- and the only to win a championship -- was Michigan State, winning it all in 2000 and 1979.Until Saturday, Auburn and Texas Tech had never been in a Final Four. This is Virginia's third Final Four appearance and first since 1984.While there was no true Cinderella in this year's Final Four, the closest one was Auburn (30-10).The Tigers beat three of those blue bloods -- Kansas, UNC and Kentucky -- en route to Minneapolis, making Auburn the only team to have beaten those programs in consecutive games in NCAA tournament history."I think that for us, I thought that we looked like we belonged," Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl said after Saturday's loss to Virginia. "We weren't supposed to be here. We weren't supposed to have a chance to win -- or maybe had a chance to win, but unlikely. ...So this will be a memorable game, and I'd like it to be remembered for a great game." 7025

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — No one likes to talk about bunions, but they probably affect more people than you think. Doctors said millions of people have them, and there are more than 500,000 surgeries on them every year. Dr. Bradley Lamm with the Paley Institute in West Palm Beach, Florida has spent the last five years inventing an internal device and step-by-step technique.The device just came out this month, and he has completed 10 surgeries, including one on a Vero Beach woman who had heard the horror stories of trauma and pain from bunion surgeries."It has not been the case at all with this (surgery)," said the patient from Vero Beach.Lamm created an internal device called a mini bunion by crossroads."The reason this is so successful and lasts forever is that it corrects the bone alignment and soft tissue alignment all in one surgery through a small incision," Lamm said.A bunion is simply a bump on the inside of the big toe, which causes the big toe to drift towards the second toe and sometimes overlap. The pain caused by them can be extreme. Lamm described this as a minimally-invasive surgery where a device is entered through a tiny incision. "You get better motion and quicker recovery, back on their feet and regular shoes in one month," Lamm said.Now the burdensome bunion could be a thing of the past, especially for a once active woman, who loved walking and swimming. "I'm hoping to be able to get back into it again and that's very exciting for me because I gave up so much that I loved," said the patient from Vero Beach.This story was original published by 1598
