The 13th-seeded Anteaters, champions of the Big West Tournament, were a popular upset pick against the fourth-seeded Wildcats. But they played a tentative first half until Max Hazzard, grandson of former UCLA All-American Walt, banged in a 3-point shot at the buzzer and sent both teams into the locker room tied. |
From there, it was a matter of UC Irvine’s zone defense and calm, late play by Hazzard and Evan Leonard, who combined to hit all 13 foul shots they tried. |
Back-to-back 3-point shots by Leonard gave the Anteaters a 53-51 lead. |
Then a 3-pointer from Hazzard, assisted by Robert Cartwright, made it 66-61 with 1:25 to play. |
Leonard hit four consecutive free throws in the final 17 seconds to settle it. |
"Big-time players are supposed to make big-time plays." |
The Anteaters are the only California team remaining in the NCAA Tournament. |
Depth and versatility have distinguished UCI all season, but defense is also a constant. Normally a man-to-man team, the Anteaters played zone for much of this game and even rolled out a box-and-one near the end of the first half. |
Kansas State shot 12 for 31 in the second half and missed nine of 13 from 3-point range. Barry Brown Jr., the Wildcats best player, didn’t have a field-goal attempt in the first half, thanks to foul trouble, and went 2 for 9 overall. |
Hazzard and Leonard wound up with 19 points apiece, and Hazzard went 5 for 11 from 3-point range. Leonard also had four of UCI’s nine steals, and the Anteaters hit 17 of 19 free throws. |
Elston Jones, the backup center and the Sixth Man of the Year in the Big West, was a major player in the first half. He provided nine points on 4-for-5 shooting. |
When Jones and Jonathan Galloway were playing the posts together, UCI had a four-point advantage over Kansas State. |
This was the first NCAA Tournament win by a Big West Conference team since Hawaii beat Cal three years ago, and only UCI’s second game in this event. The Anteaters lost to Louisville 57-55 in 2015 in Seattle. |

Developers go to all sorts of lengths to hide easter eggs these days. Sometimes it goes to extreme lengths. But occasionally it's nice to wind back the clock and see the kinds of tricks devs used to hide goodies inside their games, back before ubiquitous broadband connections and social media. |
Especially when the hidden surprise is a whole other game. |
Most people will have forgotten, but in a couple of weeks it will be the 23th birthday for Wing Commander: Privateer, a spin-off from the space saga that focused on the trials and tribulations of a merchant. |
To discover the hidden game, you had to navigate to the installation folder. Given that Privateer was a DOS game, that part wasn't too difficult for people. Inside, you'd be able to find a small file called "tabtne.vda". |
Which is backwards for "ADVENT.BAT" — the extension given to batch files. |
According to the Easter Egg archive, you then had to move ADVENT.BAT to an empty directory. But you couldn't just run the batch file, because you had to adjust the system environment to make sure there was enough memory first. |
Once that's done, Advent creates some more batch files to make it all function properly. After all, it's a batch file, so you're not actually playing within a game, but from the DOS command prompt itself — so you couldn't get away with, say, typing "dir". |
The last text adventure I remember being buried inside a game was Call of Duty: Black Ops, which let you break out of the torture chair to go play Zork on a nearby computer. There was also the text adventure hidden within the Emacs text editor on Mac, although for most that probably doesn't count. |
Saints Row 4 had the multiple choice style text adventures in it. |
A polarised electorate and alarming policy reversals is reducing confidence in US global leadership not just abroad but also domestically within the United States, says director of the Pew Research Centre. |
WASHINGTON: As the Trump administration embarks on a new course in foreign policy within its first year in office, roughly two-thirds of Americans report believing that the United States is less respected by other countries than it has been in the past, according to a recent Pew Research Centre poll of US adults. |
This perception of how the United States is seen around the world has long been a partisan issue. However, there are substantial changes in how Republicans and Democrats view the relative level of global respect for the nation. |
Even at various points when Barack Obama was in office, majorities of Democrats viewed the US as less respected internationally; for example, 58 per cent said this in 2016. |
But now, 87 per cent of Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents say the US is less respected than in the past, with 70 per cent saying this is a major problem. |
In contrast, 42 per cent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents say the US is less respected by other countries than in the past, the lowest percentage expressing this view in more than a decade. |
But a small percentage of 29 per cent of Republicans say the nation is more respected internationally today than during Obama’s presidency or Bush’s second term. And only 28 per cent think this is a major problem. |
Concern about the US’s image abroad may have some basis in fact. Results from the centre’s 37-nation spring survey within months of Donald Trump’s ascendancy found that, globally, a median of 49 per cent had a favourable opinion of the US, down from 64 per cent at the end of the Obama administration. |
The US image also suffered during the tenure of George W Bush, when foreign publics questioned the wisdom of the Iraq war and the US approach to combating terrorism. |
Today’s resurgent doubts about the US can be traced, in part, to the lack of public confidence in Trump and popular opposition to his stand on issues like climate change, free trade and immigration. History suggests anti-Americanism can have consequences for US foreign policy objectives, though it’s too soon, yet, to j... |
The decline in US favourability has occurred in most regions of the world. Views of the nation are down 36 percentage points in Mexico, 30 points in Ghana and 22 points in Canada. |
Across Europe there have been large shifts in public views of the US: Favourable opinion is down 28 points in Spain, 26 points in the Netherlands and 22 points in Germany. Clear majorities in those nations now hold unfavourable views. |
And, despite the “special relationship” between the US and the United Kingdom, only 50 per cent of the British view the US favourably, down 11 points from 2016. |
Latin Americans are lukewarm, at best, toward the US. About half of Colombians, Peruvians, Brazilians and Venezuelans express a positive attitude. Mexicans are unfavourable by more than two to one – 30 per cent positive, 65 per cent negative. |
In the Middle East, around eight in 10 Israelis are positive toward the US. But they stand isolated in the region. About a third of Lebanese and roughly a quarter of Tunisians report a favourable opinion of America. Overwhelming majorities in Turkey and Jordan voice an unfavourable view. |
The US remains popular in Asia, although there are signs of slippage. Support is up in Vietnam, 84 per cent, up 6 points, while positive but declining in the Philippines, 78 per cent, down 14 points, and South Korea, 75 per cent, down 9 points. |
A majority of Japanese, 57 per cent, are favourable toward the US, but that support is down 15 points. About half of Australians are positive: 48 per cent, down 12 points. A similar portion of Indians – 49 per cent, down 7 points – express a favourable view. |
In sub-Saharan Africa more than half the respondents in all six nations surveyed offer a favourable assessment of the US The most widespread support is in Nigeria at 69 per cent. But intensity of positive opinion has waned in the six African societies since 2015. |
A notable exception to the near universal decline in US standing: Russia, where positive views are up 26 points since 2016 to 41 per cent today. |
Since 2002, when Pew Research first asked about America’s image abroad, favourable opinion of the US has frequently tracked with confidence in the president. |
But views of Trump are significantly lower than those of Obama at the end of his term. A median of 22 per cent has confidence in Trump to do the right thing when it comes to international affairs compared with a median of 64 per cent who expressed confidence in Obama. |
This decline is especially pronounced among the populations of some of America’s closest allies: Sweden, down 83 points; Germany, 75 points; France, 70 points; the United Kingdom, 57 points; and Japan, 54 points. |
And note, this survey was conducted before the recent spat between British Prime Minister Theresa May and Trump over his retweeting controversial anti-Muslim videos posted by the far-right Britain First Party. |
In only two countries does Trump get higher marks than Obama at the end of his tenure: Israel with 56 per cent confidence, up 7 points, and Russia with 53 per cent, up 42 points. |
Lack of confidence in Trump is linked to public opposition to some of his signature policies. A median of roughly three-quarters of those surveyed oppose Trump’s vow to build a wall on the US border with Mexico to limit unauthorised immigration. |
The Pew Research survey was conducted before Trump officially announced that the US would pull out of the Paris climate change accord. Nonetheless, a median of 19 per cent support the US backing away from such accords. |
There is a similarly low level of support for the US rejecting major trade agreements. Trump pulled the US out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership early in his administration. Opposition to the nation withdrawing from climate and trade agreements is especially strong in European nations polled. |
A possible new wave of anti-Americanism may have consequences on policies in the US and abroad, and the past suggests that foreign leaders and governments may add anti-Americanism to their political calculus. |
In 2003, when just 25 per cent of Germans had a favourable opinion of the US, then German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder refused to go along with the US-led invasion of Iraq after relying on anti-American sentiment in his successful 2002 reelection campaign. |
Similarly, the Turkish Parliament refused to allow American troops to invade Iraq from the north, a decision made as only 12 per cent of Turks saw Uncle Sam favourably. Anti-Americanism alone may not have determined either policy decision, but it provided context as decisions were made. |
Sometimes anti-Americanism backfires as political opportunity. In the 2017 German election, Social Democrat leader Martin Schulz attempted to use anti-Americanism to rally support for his party. |
In the end, Social Democrats fared worse than in any recent German election. Schultz may have misread public opinion. |
The Pew Research Centre finds that despite mistrust of Trump and falling opinion of the US, Europeans have not lost faith in the nation as an ally. Most, including 65 per cent of Germans polled and 60 per cent of French, remain confident that Washington would use military force to defend a NATO member involved in a ser... |
So history leaves open the question of how anti-Americanism may influence domestic and international politics. New answers may be on the horizon, however, with the image of the US widely suffering once again and confidence in the US president at or near historic lows in key countries. |
And the new administration is barely a year old. |

THIS week’s federal leadership spill and appointment of a new prime minister has put a dent in business confidence, Western NSW Business Chamber regional manager Vicki Seccombe says. |
Following the leadership spill Malcolm Turnbull resigned from the top job on Friday and was replaced by former treasurer Scott Morrison who will now be Australia’s 30th prime minister. |
Josh Frydenberg was elected as the deputy leader of the Liberal Party. |
READ MORE: Who is Scott Morrison? |
The change followed weeks of speculation in federal parliament and Ms Seccombe said it had led to uncertainty right across the region. |
“All this uncertainty in a leadership spill will definitely erode a business confidence, business needs to understand where they’re going,” she said. |
“I don’t think it’s been a great week in a lot of respects in politics, with the NEG [National Energy Guarantee] being shelved on Monday, on Wednesday was the company tax cuts … businesses just don’t know who to turn to so that’s probably a big issue. |
When asked if Scott Morrison was the best person for the job following the three-way race between him, Julie Bishop and Peter Dutton for the top job, Ms Seccombe said stability was more important than who was prime minister. |
“I think we’d just like stability from whatever party is in power, we just want stability knowing what’s coming, what’s happening,” she said. |
Western Research Institute chief executive officer Kathy Woolley said it was too early to determine what impacts a change in leadership would mean for the region at this early stage. |
“We really need to wait and see if there are policy changes and in particular if those might affect consumer confidence or trading positions of businesses in a time where there’s fairly significant pressure arising from the weather conditions and the drought impacting regionally,” she said. |
Ms Woolley said she was hopeful that the government would get on with governing now that a new leader had been appointed. |
I think we’d just like stability from whatever party is in power, we just want stability knowing what’s coming, what’s happening. For us it’s not about a particular person, we’re looking for just stability from the government. |
“Everybody’s a bit over change like this and we just want to get on with it,” she said. |
Meanwhile Central NSW Councils Joint Organisation (formally CENTROC) chair John Medcalf said the spill and appointment of a new prime minister would not have an impact on the region. |
“I don’t think it will have a lot of impact, but it’s just a bit disruptive in the normal running of government,” he said. |

A woman who had her fertility restored using frozen ovarian tissue which was removed when she was a child has given birth in the UK. |
Moaza Al Matrooshi, 24, is thought to be the first person in the world to conceive and give birth to a baby after having an ovary removed and cryopreserved before she entered puberty. |
Matrooshi was eight when she had the organ removed before having chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant for the inherited blood disorder beta thalassaemia. |
