All the fear and fire of the end of the world
Happens each time a boy falls in love with a girl
Happens great, happens sweet
Happily, I'm unfazed here, too
Wasteland, baby
I'm in love, I'm in love with you
All the things yet to come are the things that have passed
Like the holding of hands, like the breaking of glass
Like the bonfire that burns
That all words in the fight fell to
And I love too, that love soon might end
Be known in its aching
Shown in the shaking
Lately of my wasteland, baby
Be still, my indelible friend, you are unbreaking
Though quaking, though crazy
That's just wasteland, baby
And that day that we'll watch the death of the sun
To the cloud and the cold and those jeans you have on
And you'll gaze unafraid as they sob from the city roofs
That's wasteland, baby
When the stench of the sea and the absence of green
Are the death of all things that are seen and unseen
Are an end but the start of all things that are left to do
(That's it)
'Wasteland, Baby!' ~Hozier~
I'm so excited……really, I am! Hozier released a new album a few days ago and I've been dying to share a song with you. I go through a very scientific process of choosing a song to match my picture and it's not until today that I feel this works. I use the term 'scientific' very loosely here because all I really do is listen to random songs and see where YouTube takes me……..with the first requirement of a song being appropriate is that I like it. Next, it has to have the right mood and then the lyrics have to fit into the message I think the picture suggests. So, maybe 'scientific' isn't really the right word to describe it. 😀 There are times the song is already a favourite of mine, Eddie Vedder songs are always ones I know……and sometimes people share songs that they like with me, introducing me to new music that I'd never have found on my own. I'm always looking for new music to enjoy……regardless of it's genre, I can find something I like in just about all music. But today….it's Hozier……..listen and feel……and enjoy.
It's that time of year again…….yes…..the Whore Couture Fair is open for business and Elle Boutique has a new and exclusive release. The 'Lolita Belly Piercing' is a cute little accent that's as versatile as a belly piercing can be. You can be an angel or a devil…..depending on if you're feeling naughty or nice, with an easy on/off toggle to choose between 4 versions. The HUD's loaded with 8 metal and 14 gemstone textures and it's rigged for the SLink, Belleza, and Maitreya mesh bodies with a huge variety of positions to match your skin, but please……try a DEMO before purchasing to make sure. Also, the gemstone has an on/off toggle for full bright and there's 5 levels of shine with SL materials when advanced lighting is enabled. As you can see here I'm an angel, how could I be anything else? 😛 Also…..a new feature with the WCF this year is the designers have a second exclusive item that will be available for sale on March 15, so while you're there check out what's coming and make sure to stop back in to pick that up too! The Whore Couture Fair runs until March 31.
The cute little lingerie set is 'Cecilia', in plum, from /erratic/.
My look all starts with the 'Maddie' skin in 'honey' tone from The Skinnery on the 'Lilo' bento head from Catwa and the 'Lara' mesh body from Maitreya.
The pose is from the F.3 set of poses from IntoXx.

FBR Founder/President David April and Dr. Manuel |The Professor" Castillo.
If you've been at a Philly beer bar on any Thursday evening the last nine years, chances are you've had a beer with the Fishtown Beer Runners ("FBR"). Founded by David N. April and Eric Fielder almost 10 years ago, FBR gathers weekly to run to a different bar where they each have a beer or two to combine responsible running and consumption in the interest of science and to toast "The Professor!" The club was inspired when April and Fielder read an article about a beer study conducted by Professor Manuel Castillo at the University of Granada (Spain) Medical School. I've reported on David April before in ASN and elsewhere; however, just like the Fishtown Beer Runners themselves, David and his club's story just keeps on growing.
The first ever Beer Runner's Summit took place over four days in Philly a handful of months ago, including a Beer Running Symposium, a cancer-research fundraising event, several beer runs in Center City and points beyond, a big symposium at Thomas Jefferson University, and Dr. Castillo's first visit to Philadelphia since FBR was founded.
FBR president/founder David April – who successfully underwent treatment for his kidney cancer – has participated in 15 marathons and still enjoys a good beer after a long run, especially crisp German lagers and his favorite, a good smoked Rauchbier.
Dr. Castillo also favors lagers – when he's not busy being a professor of Physiology at the University of Granada Medical School, where he specializes in nutrition, sports and anti-aging therapies. Castillo marvels at how large FBR has become, "I did a humble study to answer a simple question: Taking a couple of beers after playing tennis was a good or bad idea?" Obviously, the verdict in Philly is it's a great idea!

Three Seniors Selected as Siemens Semifinalists
Peter Li, Science Editor
On October 18, 2013, the Siemens Foundation commended three Ward Melville seniors as semifinalists in its 2013 Siemens Competition in Math, Science, and Technology. Selected from 1,599 submissions from across the country, Harrison Li, Siavash Parkhideh, and Raymond Yin were three of three hundred thirty-one students who were chosen as the competition's semifinalists.
Harrison Li's meteorological project "Multidecadal Changes in the Frequency and Ambient Conditions of Warm Season Convective Storms over the Northeastern United States" aimed to establish trends in the annual frequency of thunderstorms between the months of April and September in the northeastern United States from 1979 to 2010, with the help of radar archives and models called reanalyses. Li's research provides a way for meteorologists to predict future long-term regional thunderstorm trends from simple statistical models. The nature of his project can be attributed to his longstanding interest in meteorology that began almost eight years ago, during his elementary school years. "I can clearly recall spending the summer of 2005," he recalled during an interview, "obsessively tracking the many hurricanes and tropical storms that formed in the Atlantic basin that year." These childhood interests were then furthered in junior high school, where Li competed in the Meteorology event in the Science Olympiad competition.
Siavash Parkhideh authored a research project titled "Engineering PLGA Nanoparticles for Controlled Drug Delivery for Treatment of Cryptococcal Infections," which investigated the possibility of using drug-loaded nanoparticles to safely exterminate the fungus Cryptococcus neoformans – a yeast fungus infamous for causing lung infections like fungal meningitis and encephalitis in individuals with compromised immune systems – without damaging or even affecting normal cells. This research can help provide an alternative and cheaper treatment for current exorbitant anti-Cryptococcal treatments in sub-Saharan Africa (where AIDS phas found a perfect environment for infection). The inspiration for his project can be traced back two years prior when Parkhideh took a summer course regarding biomaterials, or substances that have been engineered to take on specific therapeutic procedures. Ever since that summer he fell in love with the topic, and the Siemens Competition provided an official means to expand upon his scientific interests.
The focus of Raymond Yin's project, "Graphene Oxide Membranes for Energy Efficient Ethanol Dehydration by Pervaporation," was innovating more efficient ways to produce the widely popular biofuel ethanol using a technique called pervaporation, or a process that separates liquids in a chemical mixture by vaporization through porous membranes. By developing new membranes via pervaporation, Yin's research could potentially lower the costs and imperfections of current ethanol dehydration processes, which can subsequently reduce petroleum fuel consumption and pollution. Yin's concern about issues on climate change and current inefficiencies in biofuel production were just a few points that provided the backbone for his research project.
The Siemens Competition is a science competition run by the College Board and funded by the Siemens Foundation, a subsection of Siemens AG, which was created in 1998. It awards about $7 million in annual scholarships and was created to act as the Siemens' version of the former Westinghouse Science Talent Search after the foundation purchased Westinghouse Electric Corporation in 1997. When Siemens lost the bid for the talent search to Intel,which subsequently became the nation's "most prestigious pre-college science competition" Intel Science Talent Search, it decided to form its own science competition, know today as the Siemens Competition.
Every year, American students, grades nine through twelve, submit science research projects as either solo or collaborated efforts to the Educational Testing Service (ETS) between late September and early October. From this immense pool of applicants, the ETS chooses two main groups of merit winners.
Three hundred students are selected as semifinalists and receive recognition packages (include backpacks, cameras, laptop covers, etc.) as well as the honor of being listed in a front page advertisement in the newspaper USA Today. Unfortunately, aside from the aforesaid commendations, semifinalists do not receive monetary scholarships. The second group, which consists of thirty individuals, are eligible to receive scholarships and are selected as regional finalists to compete against one another in competitions located at top universities like MIT, Carnegie Mellon, and Cal-tech, to name a few, in early November. The winners of these regional finals receive silver medals and $3,000 in scholarship money, and move on to the National Finals in D.C. in December (don't worry, all competitors receive bronze medals and $1000 in scholarships). The final six students will compete for a grand gold medal and scholarships of $100,000 (additional competitors receive scholarships ranging from $10,000 to $50,000).
Despite not making it past the semifinalist round, semifinalist selection is no joking matter. One in five Siemens applicants receive the prestigious honor in a competition that pits the nation's brightest student minds together in an educational learning experience. In fact, in these competitions students don't merely compete for the material prizes but rather for the opportunity to challenge themselves in science research they feel passionate about. "No award or scholarship can match the intellectual experience of being immersed in research as a high school student," commented Li, "as being exposed to the intensively analytical thought process required of a researcher in this age." And as he put it, nothing beats the satisfaction of knowing that one has contributed new knowledge to the world.

Do আপনি think শার্পিস্ মার্কার পেন smell good????????????????????????
whats ur পছন্দ color in sharpies?
What do আপনি do with your sharpies?
I just threw a রামধনু dart!
"Perhaps the only problem with শার্পিস্ মার্কার পেন is that eventually they run out, and those little refill kits never seem to work. How far could a Sharpie go before that happened?"
a comment was made to the pop quiz question: how many রঙ of শার্পিস্ মার্কার পেন are there?

    some_field: i32,
}

However, on executing cargo build I get an "unresolved import sub_sub_module::a_structure". Everything I've found regarding visibility says that this should work however it doesn't. What am I missing here?

A: Think of Rust modules as being like a directory tree.  Modules are directories, everything else is a file [1].  :: is basically /.
So, you have this structure:
/ (crate root)
 └┬─ sub_module
  │   └┬─ sub_sub_module
  │    │   └── a_structure
  │    └─ a_structure [x]
  ├─ a_structure
  └─ main

The problem is in how you define the a_structure [x] "symlink".  As explained in the book, use paths in Rust are absolute, meaning in this analogy that they all implicitly start with /.  Meaning that use sub_sub_module::a_structure is referring to /sub_sub_module/a_structure, which doesn't exist.
The solution is to use a relative path by explicitly starting the path with self (effectively .) or super (effectively ..).  You want ./sub_sub_module/a_structure, so the path in Rust should be self::sub_sub_module::a_structure.  A full, compiling (with warnings) example looks like:
mod sub_module {
    pub mod sub_sub_module {
        pub struct a_structure {
            some_field: i32,
        }
    }

    pub use self::sub_sub_module::a_structure;
}

use sub_module::a_structure;

fn main() {
    let x: a_structure = panic!("TODO");
}

You should also note that paths used anywhere outside of a use have the exact opposite default: they are relative to the containing module by default.  If you want an absolute path in that case, you need to explicitly ask for one by starting the path with :: (just like a filesystem path that is, by default, interpreted as relative).
Aside: The conventional style is to use PascalCase for type names.  Also, I had to remove the type parameter because it wasn't being used.

[1]: This is, in fact, a lie, as you can have items associated with other items.  For example, associated consts, while unstable, are a thing.  I suppose you could think of them in terms of resource forks or something, I don't know; it's just a metaphor!

At least 50 killed as gunman opens fire at Las Vegas concert
By The Associated Press October 2, 2017
News Public Sector 50 killed annex attack gunman las vegas mass shooting shooting
LAS VEGAS — A gunman perched on the 32nd floor of a Las Vegas casino unleashed a shower of bullets on an outdoor country music festival below, killing at least 50 people as tens of thousands of concertgoers screamed and ran for their lives, officials said Monday. It was the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.
More than 400 victims were taken to the hospital, authorities said.
SWAT officers using explosives stormed the gunman's hotel room and found he had killed himself, authorities said.
There was no immediate word on the motive for the attack. The U.S. Homeland Security Department said there was no "specific credible threat" involving other public venues in the U.S.
Country music star Jason Aldean was performing Sunday night at the end of the three-day Route 91 Harvest Festival in front of a crowd of 22,000 when the gunman opened fire from inside the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino.
The gunman was identified as Stephen Craig Paddock, 64, of Mesquite, Nevada.
SWAT teams quickly descended on the concert and the casino, and officers used explosives to get into the hotel room where the suspect was inside, authorities said.
"What we are going to try to do as best we can is to get our first responders back on their feet and responding and conducting a proper investigation to ensure that we have the safety of this community at heart," Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said.
Aldean was in the middle of a song when the shots came rapidly: Pop-pop-pop-pop. Video of the shooting then showed Aldean stopping and the crowd getting quiet as if it were unsure of what had just happened.
The gunman paused and then fired another volley, the muzzle flashes visible from the casino, as more victims fell to the ground while others fled in panic. Some hid behind concession stands, while others crawled under parked cars.
Kodiak Yazzie, 36, said the music stopped temporarily when the first shots began and the tune even started up again before the second round of pops sent the performers ducking for cover and fleeing the stage.
"It was the craziest stuff I've ever seen in my entire life," Yazzie said. "You could hear that the noise was coming from west of us, from Mandalay Bay. You could see a flash-flash-flash-flash."
As the bullets ran rampant, thousands in the crowd fled in every direction. Couples held hands running through the dirt lot. Faces were brushed with shock and confusion, tears and screams. Some were bloodied and others were carried out by fellow concert-goers.
Monique Dumas from British Columbia, Canada, said she was at the concert, six rows from the stage, when she thought she heard a bottle breaking, and then a burst of popping sounds that may have been fireworks.
She said as she made her way out, it was "organized chaos" as everyone fled.
"It took four to five minutes and all that time there was gunfire."
In addition to Paddock, police said they located a woman who may have been his roommate — Marilou Danley, 62. Lombardo said they believe this was a "lone wolf" attack.
"It's a devastating time," Lombardo said.
Police shut down the usually busy Las Vegas Boulevard and authorities across the state and federal ranks converged on the scene as dozens of ambulances ferried those struck by gunfire. Nearby Interstate 15 and flights at McCarran International Airport were briefly closed.
Hospital emergency rooms were jammed with victims delivered by ambulance.
Others loaded the wounded into their cars and drove them to hospitals.
Jose Baggett, 31, of Las Vegas, said he and a friend were in the lobby of the Luxor hotel-casino — directly north of the festival — when people began to run, almost in a stampede.
He said people were crying and as he and his friend started walking away minutes later, they encountered police checkpoints where officers were carrying shotguns and assault rifles.
"There were armoured personnel vehicles, SWAT vehicles, ambulances, and at least a half-mile of police cars," Baggett said.
Among those killed were two off-duty police officers who were attending the concert. Two on-duty officers were wounded, including one who underwent surgery and was upgraded to stable condition, police said.
Hours after the shooting, Aldean posted on Instagram that he and his crew were safe and that the shooting was "beyond horrific."
"It hurts my heart that this would happen to anyone who was just coming out to enjoy what should have been a fun night," Aldean said.
President Donald Trump tweeted: "My warmest condolences and sympathies to the victims and families of the terrible Las Vegas shooting. God bless you!"
Before Sunday, the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history took place in June 2016, when a gunman opened fire at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, killing 49 people.
Sunday's shooting came more than four months after a suicide bombing at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, that killed 22 people. Almost 90 people were killed by gunmen inspired by Islamic State at the Bataclan concert hall in Paris during a performance by Eagles of Death Metal in November 2015.

Toxic milk whistleblower thrashed to death in China

China imports North Koreans to beat rising wages
BEIJING: The man who exposed the illegal deeds of the Chinese dairy industry, resulting in a countrywide scandal in 2008, and the subsequent exposure of other incidents of milk contamination was beaten to death. The milk contamination had caused sickness to an estimated 300,000 people and resulted in the death of six infants in 2008.
Jiang Weisuo, the whistleblower (44), died on November 14 but the official media released information about his death only now. He was attacked by unidentified suspects on November 2 and succumbed to injuries 12 days later, the Southern Metropolis Daily reported.
The attack took place on his way back after attending a meeting at a dairy company in Xi'an city of Shaanxi province, where he worked as general manager.
Police have detained a suspect, but the motive of the attack remains unclear, according to the report. There is a suspicion that powerful people may be involved in organizing the attack because it is unusual for the police to take such a long time to hunt down suspects in a local area.
Jiang began exposing milk contamination way back in 2006 by writing to the local government in Shaanxi. He became well-known in China after the scandal concerning the use of the melamine, a chemical used in the plastic industry, which helped dairies push up the fat content in milk artificially. The melamine contamination caused sickness to thousands of people, who developed kidney complications.

St Kitts And Nevis Reopening – Latest Updates
(NOV 13)
The local Government has updated travel protocol in St Kitts and Nevis. All international visitors staying 7-days or less will have to get a PRE-departure test within 72-hours before departure.
It will be taken at the hotel's nurse stations. If it turns out positive, travelers will need to stay in the isolation at the hotel. The cost will be $150. (Source: caribjournal.com)

The impact of the Coronavirus on Saint Kitts and Nevis
COVID UPDATE NOV 13
There haven't new cases of Coronavirus recorded since September 22 in Saint Kitts and Nevis. (Source: Wikipedia)
(October 6th)
This island nation has only had 17 Covid-19 cases and no deaths. A glance at the statistics shows that there were no new cases from April 20th until July 4th. Since then, there have been 2 new cases.
This low number of cases is attributable to the stringent measures taken by the government, which acted early to close borders and turned away cruise ships. Because this small Caribbean nation is heavily dependent on tourism, this did have a significant impact on jobs. However, as Prime Minister Dr. Timothy Harris told BBC World News, the country has enough set aside to support those who have lost their jobs due to the pandemic.
The government has set aside a $120 million stimulus package to help them. It has also reduced corporate taxes for employers who retain at least 75% of their workforce, and it has removed taxes, fees and import duties on pandemic related products.
The island nation's response to Covid-19
From March 25th, all borders were closed not just to foreign visitors but also to citizens wanting to return home. As of July 25th, a midnight to 5am curfew was imposed.
The government of Saint Kitts and Nevis has put out recommendations for its residents. The chart tells people to:
Wash hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based solution frequently.
Use a tissue or your elbow to when you cough or sneeze.
Don't touch your face.
Maintain social distance.
Stay home when you're not feeling well.
Wearing masks is also mandatory and subject to $500 fines. Detailed instructions provided on the website explain everything from how to wash your hands effectively to how to care for your pets.
Nevis, the smaller of the two islands with only 12,000 residents, had only seen 4 cases, and, now that all those have recovered, is officially Covid-19 free. It had launched an app, Nevis Health, to help track cases on the island. St. Kitts had been equally aggressive.
Saint Kitts and Nevis to re-open for tourists in October
The government plans to re-open sometime in October. At that point, both travelers arriving by plane and also cruise ships will be welcome.
To prepare for re-opening, the government is operating a training program until August 27th for the hospitality industry. This will train workers in the new health and safety procedures that Covid-19 has made necessary. While normally the cost would be $100 or more per participant, the fee has been waived and 5,000 people are expected to complete the training.
A new app will also be launched to help track and trace all visitors to the islands. This will facilitate contact tracing if necessary. The app will also inform tourists of information they may need, such as health updates.
Requirements for Entry
All travelers to St. Kitts and Nevis will need to have test negative for Covid-19 within 72 hours of arrival. They will be required to quarantine for 14 days and take a second test when that period is over. At that point, if they still test negative, they will be released from quarantine. They are also required to have travel insurance. Masks are required in public and tourists who do not comply will be fined.
While these requirements are more stringent than those in most other countries, it must be remembered that Saint Kitts and Nevis have the lowest number of coronavirus cases in CARICOM (The Caribbean Community and Common Market ).
Why visit Saint Kitts and Nevis?
This island nation is not only the smallest in the Caribbean, it's also one of the most luxurious places for a holiday. You won't have to fight the crowds and you'll be able to enjoy being pampered while you enjoy the sights.
The country has a rich colonial history, with both English and French influences. Anglophiles will love the fact that tea and Cricket are still a thing here. Nature-lovers while be charmed by the green monkeys, whose ancestors were brought over by the French as pets in the 17th century. You can now see colonies of these mischievous creatures scampering along the roads.
The country itself is a lush green thanks to the fertile soil. This soil is due to the volcanoes which formed the islands. They are now dormant. The tallest is Mount Liamuiga, which is a popular hiking destination for tourists. It boasts a beautiful crater lake.
For tourists who enjoy festivals, there are two of note. The St. Kitts Music Festival is held in June and the St. Kitts-Nevis National Carnival takes place between Christmas and New Year. You'll love the calypso and soca music and the gorgeous costumes.
For a relaxing and luxurious Caribbean vacation, you will not beat St. Kitts and Nevis. Also, in this time of pandemic, these might be two of the safest islands for you to visit. You'll find beautiful beaches and warm, friendly people when you come to the Caribbean's smallest country.

Energy secretary tours UTC, says US lagging in energy research
by Christine Woodside
EAST HARTFORD–The United States is losing the global energy race, and it's time to get back on the track, U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu said in a visit to United Technologies Research Center Friday.
Just as the launch of the Sputnik by the Soviet Union jolted the US into stepping up space exploration, America's recent sluggishness, relative to the world, in developing new energy sources and more efficient ways to use it must spur this new energy revolution, Chu said.
"Our country's still the best innovation machine," Chu said. "If you put policies and allow research at the front end, in instances where we've lost the lead, we'll get it back. In instances where we have the lead, we'll keep it."
Thirty years ago, the United States was leading the world in research and development of new energy technologies like solar panels and wind turbines and even more traditional ones like hydropower. But that has not been true for several years now. For example, China is the number one producer of solar panels and offers such generous subsidies that President Obama has declared them unfair. (In January, President Obama signed a bill that included a provision barring the U.S. military from buying solar panels from China.)
As the age of fossil fuels is expected to slowly wind down, and climate change accelerates due to civilization's growing carbon emissions, Europe and China are boosting production of renewables and more efficient technologies. In the United States, renewables still rely on an ever-changing menu of state incentives that come and go.
Chu was accompanied on the tour of UTRC's energy efficiency projects by U.S. Reps. John Larson, Chris Murphy and Joe Courtney.
On Thursday President Obama and Chu launched the government's "energy innovation hub" for the East, the Greater Philadelphia Innovation Cluster. Funded with $129 million in federal money, the cluster will be run by Pennsylvania State University, based at the Philadelphia Naval Yard, and rely on research from places including UTRC to start producing and selling energy efficient technologies. It also will train a skilled workforce to build them.
As part of this, United Technologies will receive $10 million over five years from the Department of Energy to give a boost to its ongoing research to develop efficient uses of energy in large buildings.
UTRC will hire 100 more people, Larson told a group of journalists in a lab where the group answered questions from the press after the tour.
"We want to make sure we are funding these efforts that will have a transformational effect on the economy," he said.
"This is a company, and there are several companies like it, that is taking the long view," Chu said of United Technologies. "You need to make investments. Today's Sputnik moment has been happening for years. Other countries are racing ahead. What they see is that anything that has to do with the use of energy will be a huge world need."
Friday's tour was mostly closed to the press, and the company and Chu's staff were careful not to say too much about the proprietary methods they saw. But UTRC did provide a partial list of projects on the tour: energy efficient airplane engines that use 15 percent less fuel; efficient building systems; batteries capable of storing large amounts of energy for later use; and a system to capture waste heat from small power turbines and to use that energy to either heat or cool the building. Craig R. Walker, director of the UTRC energy systems program office, said that the company is working with Wal-Mart on this system.
The tour focused not on renewable power generation-like wind power and fuel cells, both of which UTC is developing in other enterprises-but on systems that take energy produced from either fossil fuel or renewable fuels and use it more efficiently.
Efficiency is key to the long future of energy, worldwide, as fossil sources become scarcer and more difficult to mine, their burning adds to the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the altering climate, and all energy becomes ever more expensive.
Chu talked as much about creating jobs as he did about saving energy. "We the administration want to show how serious we are at spurring on innovation," he said. "This is job creation." Asked how many and what type of jobs, he said, "It's not actually measurable now. One dollar of R and D could be $1 million down the road."
He also said, "Clean energy is a virtue and an incredible business opportunity, so you can be virtuous and you can be very rich."

Upset bug bites Syracuse, Kansas

WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — Tom Brennan called his Vermont Catamounts a dangerous team. Syracuse found out just how dangerous.
Germain Mopa Njila and T.J. Sorrentine hit consecutive 3-pointers in a 48-second span of overtime, and the 13th-seeded Catamounts upset the Big East champions 60-57 Friday night in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
When Gerry McNamara missed a desperation 3 from the top of the key in the final seconds, the Cats had their first tournament triumph. They swarmed together and hugged in celebration, jumping up and down as Brennan raised his right arm in triumph.
Brennan, who is retiring at the end of the season, continually brushed tears from his eyes after beating a Syracuse team that had hopes of making the Final Four for the second time in three years.
Vermont (25-6) advanced to play Michigan State in the second round of the Austin Regional. Fourth-seeded Syracuse, the 2003 national champions, finished its season 27-7.
Syracuse wasn't the only high seed to get upset Friday night. No. 3 seed Kansas was knocked off by No. 14 seed Bucknell 64-63 (see further down in this roundup).
No. 15 Michigan St. 89, Old Dominion 81
WORCESTER, Mass. — Fifth-seeded Michigan State couldn't pull away until the final minutes, when Shannon Brown made a spinning layin to start a three-point play that helped the Spartans beat Old Dominion.
Michigan State (23-6) managed to avoid a second consecutive first-round exit and instead gave coach Tom Izzo his 20th tournament win — his NCAA record is second only to Mike Krzyzewski's.
Brown scored 13 points, and Alan Anderson had 15 to lead five Spartans in double figures. Michigan State shot 57 percent (29-for-51) from the floor in the game, and that was despite making just three of 14 shots from 3-point range.
Alex Loughton had 22 points, 11 rebounds and six assists for Old Dominion (28-6).
Duke 57, Delaware State 46
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Shelden Williams had 14 points and 11 rebounds and the top-seeded Blue Devils gave Coach K his 65th career victory in the tournament.
In 21 NCAA tournaments, coach Mike Krzyzewski is 65-17, tying Dean Smith's total for the most career victories.
This one certainly was expected, even though Duke (26-5) had a hard time in the Austin Regional. The Blue Devils struggled throughout with the Hornets (19-13) despite having guard Sean Dockery back after he recovered from a knee injury.
Mississippi State 93, Stanford 70
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Winsome Frazier made six 3-pointers and scored 20 points to lead the ninth-seeded Bulldogs over the Cardinal in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
Lawrence Roberts, the 2004 Southeastern Conference player of the year, led the Bulldogs (23-10) with 23 points and 14 rebounds to lead the way past No. 8 Stanford (18-13).
SYRACUSE REGIONAL
Florida 67, Ohio 62
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Florida blew a 20-point lead, but Anthony Roberson converted a three-point play with 42.3 seconds left to help the Gators advance.
The Gators had lost two of their last three first-round games, including last year to Manhattan when they were a No. 5 seed.
This time, though, fourth-seeded Florida (24-7) hung on after blowing a 55-35 lead to beat the Bobcats (23-8).
Villanova 55, New Mexico 47
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Kyle Lowry made two sets of free throws in the final 1:38, then came up with a clutch steal to help Villanova hold off New Mexico.
Lowry finished with eight points, while Mike Nardi led the Wildcats with 15 points. The Wildcats (23-7) got away with one against the Lobos.
Danny Granger led New Mexico (23-7) with 15 points.
Fifth-seeded Villanova (23-7) faces No. 4 seed Florida in the Syracuse Regional on Sunday.
Connecticut 77, Central Florida 71
WORCESTER, Mass. — Charlie Villanueva scored 22 points for the defending national champion Huskies, who opened a 19-point lead but had to hold on to win.
UConn (23-7) will play North Carolina State on Sunday in the second round.
Gary Johnson had career-high 29 points and 3-pointers for Central Florida (24-9), which had won eight straight games.
North Carolina State 75, Charlotte 63
WORCESTER, Mass. — Julius Hodge had 19 points, nine assists and seven rebounds.
The 10th-seeded Wolfpack (20-13) play again Sunday in the Syracuse Regional against defending national champion Connecticut. Andrew Brackman had 16 points and Ilian Evtimov and Cameron Bennerman each had 12 for the Wolfpack.
Brendan Plavich, Eddie Basden and Curtis Withers each scored 15 for the seventh-seeded 49ers (21-8).
Iowa State 64, Minnesota 53
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Cyclones relied on the same formula that sparked a dramatic turnaround during the regular season, using a variety of pressure defenses to pull out the victory in the Syracuse Regional.
Iowa State held Minnesota to 33 percent shooting, and Curtis Stinson led a balanced attack with 18 points.
Iowa State (19-11) got past the first round for the first time since reaching the round of eight in 2000.
Brent Lawson and Vincent Grier had 14 apiece for the eighth-seeded Gophers (21-11).
Wisconsin 57, N. Iowa 52
OKLAHOMA CITY — Kammron Taylor scored 16 points in a reserve role, including a jumper and four free throws in the final minute, to help Wisconsin hold off Northern Iowa.
Sharif Chambliss hit a season-high five 3-pointers and had 15 points for Wisconsin (23-8), which didn't get its usual output from leading scorers Alando Tucker and Mike Wilkinson.
Ben Jacobson led the Panthers (21-11) with 20 points, and Erik Crawford finished with 13.
Bucknell 64, Kansas 63
OKLAHOMA CITY — In their 110th season, the Bucknell Bison finally won their first NCAA tournament game. And, wow, what a victory it was.
Chris McNaughton banked in a hook shot over Wayne Simien with 10.5 seconds left, then Simien missed an open 15-foot jumper at the buzzer, giving the 14th-seeded Bison a stunning victory over third-seeded Kansas.
Bucknell (23-9) began playing basketball in 1896, joining Yale and Minnesota as the nation's oldest Division I programs. But the only other times the Bison even made the NCAA field were 1987, when they lost by 22 to Georgetown, and '89, when they lost by 23 to Syracuse.
The Jayhawks (23-7) ended a streak of 15 straight first-round tournament wins and 21 in a row overall.
CHICAGO REGIONAL
Oklahoma State 63, Southeastern Louisiana 50
OKLAHOMA CITY — JamesOn Curry gave second-seeded Oklahoma State the spark it needed in the Chicago Regional.
Curry sliced into the lane and found Ivan McFarlin cutting to the basket for a layup, and the Cowboys turned a three-point lead into a comfortable edge down the stretch.
McFarlin scored 18 points to lead the Cowboys (25-6), a Final Four team last season. Ricky Woods led the Lions (24-9) with 16 points.
Southern Illinois 65, Saint Mary's 56
OKLAHOMA CITY — Stetson Hairston broke a late tie with three free throws, then followed with a 3-pointer and Darren Brooks drove for the next two baskets, to push Southern Illinois into the next round.
The Salukis (27-7) advanced to the second round for the first time since 2002.
Daniel Kickert led Saint Mary's (25-9) with 16 points, but made only one field goal after sinking his first three shots. Hairston led SIU with 13 points.
ALBUQUERQUE REGIONAL
Louisville 68, Louisiana-Lafayette 62
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Francisco Garcia went 7-for-7 from the foul line in the last 2 minutes, and finished with 27 points to help fourth-seeded Louisville advance.
Taquan Dean has 12 for Louisville (30-4). Brian Hamilton led Louisiana-Lafayette (20-11) with 19 points before fouling out. Tiras Wade had 15 points and Chris Cameron added 11.
Georgia Tech 80, George Washington 68
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Jarrett Jack, Will Bynum and B.J. Elder combined to score on six straight possessions in the second half, leading Georgia Tech over George Washington in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
Jack had 20 to lead the fifth-seeded Yellow Jackets (20-11), who never won by more than eight points last year in their march to the championship game. Bynum had 17 and Elder added 15 for Georgia Tech.
Pops Mensah-Bonsu scored 15 to lead four players in double figures for 12th-seeded George Washington.

Viliame Liga was the dominant force in javelin in Fiji for 20 years and was one of the region's greatest Javelin throwers in the 60's and early 70's. His National Record of 72.09 metres, set in 1966, stood for more than 20 years, and may well still be standing, were it not for a change in the javelin in 1988.
Liga took part in the first South Pacific Games held in Suva in 1963, winning Fiji bronze medal in javelin. In 1966 he won a silver at South Pacific Games held in Noumea, than a bronze each in javelin and discus during the 1966 Games in Papua New Guinea, and in 1971 placed forth in the javelin during the Tahiti Games. Liga also participated in the high jump and hammer in South Pacific Games level, emphasising the all – round nature of his athletic talent.
Liga represented Fiji at the 1954 and 1958 Empire Games and the 1962 Commonwealth Games, placing in the top eight in each case, and in 1968 he represented Fiji at the Olympic Games in Mexico City.
Viliame Liga's record is evidence that he was one of the greatest athletes Fiji has ever produced. After his retirement in 1975, he continued to provide advice and encouragement to young athletes, and was a tower of strength to athletics in Fiji. Liga passes away in Brisbane in 1986 at the age of 54.

Mapping Louisiana: Louisiana Maps from 1513 -1900
The Louisiana Research Collection's renowned map collection extends from 1513 to the present. With more than 400 maps from before 1799, its holdings include state and regional topographic maps, maps of vegetation zones and natural resources, parish and highway maps, and plans of New Orleans tracing the city's development since its founding in 1718. The maps preserve a variety of information ranging from the names and locations of Indian tribes, land owners, plantations, towns, and fortifications, to explorers' routes, depth soundings for the Mississippi River and coastal waters, state and parish boundaries, crops under cultivation, and even the best spots for fishing.

In Pidgin English, one of the mostly widely spoken languages, this phrase means 'I don't understand'. Understanding the way of life and customs in P.N.G. has often baffled visitors from around the world.
Papua New Guineans may not readily smile at you or initiate a friendly conversation, but a quick 'Mornin tru' (good morning) or 'apinun' (good afternoon) will elicit a wide smile and can lead to some interesting conversations. As in any other country, respecting local quirks and traditions is all part of the cultural experience.
In PNG your patience may sometimes be tested to the extreme with unexpected delays or primitive facilities, but this is simply part of the country's make up and, many would believe, its charm.
Security, the worry of many travellers to PNG, is rarely a problem and mostly exaggerated. Theft or petty pilfering does occur, but it is not always viewed this way by the local people. You are simply advised to take the same precautions you would as a tourist anywhere else in the world.
The three most widely used languages are English, and mostly conversational Tok Pidgin and Hiri Motu. However it is estimated that over 111 languages are still spoken throughout the country, which represents a third of all the languages in the world!
P.N.G. experiences a tropical and pleasant climate with two distinct climates – the highlands and coastal/lowland areas. Coastal and lowland areas such as the Sepik are hot and humid with temperatures ranging from 24 to 35° Celsius (75-95 Fahrenheit). The Highland regions are cooler with temperatures ranging from 12 to 28° Celsius (54-82 Fahrenheit), with much less humidity – a very comfortable and constant temperature. In general the days are fine and sunny with cloud buildups in the afternoon over the mountain ranges and rainfall in the evenings.
One Kina (K1) is divided into 100 toea, both of which are the names of traditional shell money. Denominations of notes come in K2, K5, K10, K20 and K50. Travellers cheques and international credit cards are accepted in the larger hotels and restaurants in Port Moresby, but not generally in small towns or stores.
The unit of currency in PNG is the Kina, pronounced "kee-nah", and sub-units of 100 are called Toea, pronounced "toy-ya".
International credit cards are accepted at most major hotels. American Express, Mastercard and Visa credit cards are accepted at the Wilderness Lodges, AMBUA LODGE, KARAWARI LODGE, MALOLO PLANTATION LODGE, RONDON RIDGE and the MV SEPIK SPIRIT. It should be noted that at the Wilderness Lodges, Mastercard and Visa attract a 5% administration fee.
Kina cash can be acquired at the Foreign Exchange counters most international ports of departure to P.N.G.. It is strongly recommended you acquire your Kina cash prior to departing for PNG. As it has been known for Foreign Exchange counters at airports to run out of Kina, so it is recommended that you order Kina from your local Foreign Exchange or from your local bank well in advance of departure. When ordering Kina, it is highly recommended that you get mainly small denominations, such as K2, K5 and K10. Small denominations are preferred by villagers should you choose to make purchases in a village.
There is a bank at the Port Moresby international airport, but if you are arriving in PNG outside of normal banking hours it may not be open. In addition, the Bank at Port Moresby airport generally gives out large notes. If your connection time in Port Moresby to your next domestic flight is short, you may not have time for banking.
There are also banks in most major centres in P.N.G., but tour schedules do not usually allow time for banking. Most hotels and the Wilderness Lodges have some cash but this is greatly limited and exchange rates are not as good as the banks. Banking hours in PNG are generally from 9:00 am - 4:00 pm Monday through to Friday.
Banks in PNG do not accept traveller's cheques or most foreign currencies. American and Australian Dollars are the best foreign cash to bring to PNG, but please note that only Kina is accepted when purchasing art and crafts in villages.
Banking hours are from 9am to 4pm Monday to Friday.
Lightweight casual clothing is appropriate all year round, while flip flops, sneakers and sand shoes are not permitted in some bars and restaurants. In the Highlands good walking shoes are essential, plus a sweater or jacket for the cool evenings. Women should always dress modestly, and skimpy clothing is not advisable away from resorts.
Government and most business offices are open from 8:00am to 4:00pm Monday to Friday.
Tipping is not customary or expected. Major hotels include a service charge in the bill.

Visitors are advised to take malaria precautions, but only your doctor can recommend and prescribe the appropriate medication for you. As a precaution, most travellers keep their tetanus, typhoid, hepatitis, and polio inoculations current. Although the problem of diarrhea and dysentery does not seem to be nearly as severe in PNG as in some of the neighbouring Asian countries, it is possible you will get some kind of diarrhea at some stage of your trip. This is normal for travellers whose bodies are adapting to strange food and water. In most cases the problem is short term, not severe and is easily treated.
Government owned general hospitals, private doctors and pharmacies are generally available in all major centres of the country. Services at both public and private medical facilities are not to the same standard as those found in western countries. It is recommended you bring a personal first aid kit including ample supplies of medication, and pack this in your carry-on handbag.
Meat, fish, vegetables and tropical fruits are served Australian style. There is no national cuisine such as can be found in Thailand, Indonesia, Greece, etc. At the Wilderness Lodges, apart from vegetarian meals, special meal requests are not available as the meals are set menus.
In some parts of PNG liquor restrictions apply. In Mt. Hagen for example, liquor is not allowed to be brought into the province, and bags are often checked on arrival flights. Hotels do serve guests with beer, wine and spirits. At Karawari Lodge beer and wine are stocked, but no spirits. At Ambua Lodge no beer or spirits are stocked but a good selection of wine is available.

Government owned general hospitals, church affiliated hospitals, private doctors and pharmacies are available in all major centres of the country. Services at both public and private medical facilities in PNG are not to the same standard as those found in western European countries, USA, Canada, Japan, or Australia.

PNG's unique handicrafts and native works of art are highly prized in Australia, Europe and North America. Pottery, masks, decorative weapons, shields, jewelry and woodcarvings can be found in city or hotel craft stores, rural missions and local villages. The bilum, an expandable and colourful string bag, is a popular locally made memento for any visitor to PNG. For those interested in arts and crafts, PNG Art in Port Moresby houses the largest showroom of artifacts, featuring a wide variety of art forms truly unique to various regions of this diverse nation.
PNG Art is included in half and full day tours of Port Moresby, but for those not booked on a tour, it is very easy to locate. PNG Art is happy to arrange the export of your purchases worldwide. Other major shops in the country include the Eastern Highland Cultural Centre, in Kainantu and the Madang Cultural Centre. Throughout the country there are also quaint artifacts markets outside many of the popular hotels and guest houses. In Port Moresby, and most of the major towns, street sellers often display their goods in front of stores, so keep an eye out for them.
Note: laundry facilities are not available on the adventure modules or on board the MV Sepik Spirit.
