From Concrete Examples
One of the best ways to understand a concept is by examples, so the purpose of this site to provide examples for every concept.
(Alphabetical Listing of All Pages)
Every page contains:
- Concept: concise summary of the concept plus sources (such as Wikipedia) if the reader wants more details
- Example: links to real-life examples, such as videos, news reports, magazines, pictures, etc.
- Application: explanation of how the concept applies to the example
e.g. Personal space
Although the "Examples" are the fun and interesting aspect of this site, the key benefit is the "Application" because seeing how the essential elements of the concept compare to the facts of the example is how to truly understand a concept (learn more, plus see examples)
|The internet is filled with websites that explain "what" (such as what is personal space) but this is an application-based website that allows you to see the concept in action for yourself. For all those websites explaining "what", there should be a website that gives you concrete examples for all of them.
|An even better way to understand a concept is by applying examples yourself, so another purpose of this wiki is to allow you to provide your own examples and learn by applying the concept.
To include your own examples:
- Find a real-world example (how to)
- Locate the concept page or create the page (how to)
- Edit the page by clicking "edit" (how to)

Senior Kieren Thompson is attacking 2014 with vigor, as he embarks on his fourth and final year on the Arizona men's tennis team.
In being named captain for the first time in his career, Thompson has always seen himself as one of the leaders of the team. To him, the title is a compliment, even though he is already well-respected in the game of tennis.
Born and raised in Brisbane, Australia, Thompson started his athletic career on the soccer field, only until the day his father decided to build a tennis court in the backyard.
"I just fell in love with the sport and went with it," said Thompson.
He soon earned a spot on the high school tennis team, yearning to play at a high and competitive level.
In order to do so, Thompson needed to win and establish a name for himself. He soon began focusing on competing in tennis tournaments in Australia. At one tournament, he was approached by a gentleman who asked if he had any interest in playing in the states.
"At the start, I didn't really want to do it," Thompson said. "But then I realized that it's definitely a great opportunity to study and continue playing tennis at a high level."
Thompson had always wanted to further his studies, but was unsure about continuing his studies across the globe.
"I had never been to Arizona before, not even for a visit," Thompson said. "Arizona offered a great opportunity to further my education, and I was really drawn to Eller and the marketing and management program."
Eller stood out to Thompson for its recognition as one of the top business schools in the country for marketing and management.
In addition to the stellar academic reputation, Thompson was also drawn to the unique, enjoyable atmosphere the men's tennis team had to offer.
"I heard Arizona had a big international team, consisting of a fun group of guys, who all together are described as an energetic team," said Thompson. "And that's me. I like to have fun on the court, while being in a competitive environment."
Arizona offered exactly that, matching Thompson's international style of play with the unique atmosphere and competitive environment.
When head coach Tad Berkowitz recruited Thompson, he knew U of A would be a great fit.
"With his fiery, Aussie mentality he's continuously walking off the court with bloody hands, bloody knees, you name it," Berkowitz said. "That alone shows his competitive nature."
Berkowitz immediately noticed the leadership qualities and attributes Thompson possessed, and knew he wanted Thompson to lead his team in 2014.
"Simply put, he just gets it" said Berkowitz. "He's a student athlete who continuously puts his team first, a great communicator, and a great student in the classroom."
With his senior season ahead, Thompson is looking to solidify his name within Arizona's tennis program. As a competitor, he sets his goals on making it as deep in the NCAA tournament as possible this season.
"As a team, we definitely want to make it to the tournament," said Thompson. "We are a hard working team and can do a lot this year. Getting some good wins under our belt against some top ranked teams is our team goal."
Thompson looks to lead his teammates in a positive, productive direction each and every day and leave a lasting impression on the Arizona men's tennis program.
"When my career here is over, I want to leave my teammates headed in the right direction," Thompson said. "I want them to compete, and look to progress every single day."

What's the recipe for a viral video? The rock-pop band Atomic Tom seems to have found at least one answer: a talented set of musicians, AT&T smartphones and an unsuspecting subway car full of New York straphangers.
Atomic Tom surprised a B train of commuters with an impromptu performance of their first single "Take me out" using smartphones as instruments. The video scored millions of views online, and the song rose to Top 20 of the Alternative Chart.
AT&T caught up with the band at SXSW this year.

Whatever you do on Valentine's Day, don't forget the
If you're buying blooms for Feb. 14,
you're in good company. Consumers purchased 180
million roses in 2005 and 189 million roses were
produced for the big day in 2006, according to figures
from the Society of American Florists.
Most popular: the traditional red rose. "It's
basically a red-rose holiday," says Don Howell, operations
manager for Pajaro Valley Greenhouses in Watsonville, Calif.
And there's a reason for that.
The red rose "traditionally signifies love,"
says Jennifer Sparks, vice president of marketing for the Society
of American Florists.
While red remains the best seller by far, "We
are seeing other colors are popular as well: pink, peach or salmon,
and yellow," says Sparks, who adds that mixing various colors
of roses is also gaining in popularity.
Gerald Prolman, CEO of OrganicBouquet.com,
a national online retailer of organic flowers, agrees. "We're
finding a very large trend, a shifting trend to specific colors
of roses," he says. "I would say that in terms of volume,
45 percent of roses will be red and 55 percent will be different
color combinations."
Buying for someone other than a sweetie? Or maybe
you're not quite ready to proclaim your passion with roses? Tulips,
carnations and lilies are also big sellers on Feb. 14.
While roses account for 56 percent of the cut flowers
sold on Valentine's Day, a mixed arrangement is the second most
popular choice with 23 percent, according to a 2005 Society of American
Florists survey.
"Basically anything that's red or pink,"
says Christine Boldt, executive vice president of the Association
of Floral Importers of Florida. "When you go into the store,
Valentine's Day is red or pink. And, in a lot of arrangements what
you see will be red, white and pink."
A little green
But if you're thinking red, white or pink, chances are you could
be more than a little worried about your own green. Last year, a
dozen roses from a florist averaged about $70 excluding delivery,
according to Sparks. That's not expected to change this year, she
But if you think the price of roses goes up at Valentine's
Day, you're not imagining things.
"It's the most expensive time" to buy roses,
says Sparks. "Everybody wants roses on one single day in the
middle of winter."
At the same time, growers, importers, suppliers and
retailers claim that no one's getting rich from all those flowery
tokens of romance.
"In reality, nobody's making more money at the
holiday," says Boldt. "It just costs more to get the product
Because there is so much volume, the airlines have
to add extra planes, she says. Trucking lines add extra routes and
drivers and importers are on call 24/7 to collect the flowers as
they arrive. Florists, who might do as much as eight to 10 times
their normal business on the holiday, often need extra staff to
meet the demand.
In addition, to stimulate plants to produce on that
target date, growers often have to "pinch" their plants
in November or December, sacrificing an earlier crop. "A lot
of times growers will lose a lot of roses to have enough to fulfill
demand for the one single day in February," says Sparks.
"So it's not just because everybody wants to
double the price or triple the price," Boldt says. "It's
because the costs all along are doubled or tripled for a one-day

NEW ORLEANS - After winning the first five games in the newly restored Devlin Fieldhouse, the Tulane men's basketball team looks to remain perfect at home when they host Navy at 3 p.m. Ct on Saturday.
The Green Wave (5-2) extended its home winning streak to five on Tuesday night with a 69-57 victory over cross-campus foe Loyola.
Navy (4-4) enters the game having won back-to-back games for the first time since the beginning of the 2011-12 season. The Midshipmen, a member of the Patriot League, defeated Delaware State, 63-53, last Saturday and beat visiting IUPUFW, 54-49, on Wednesday night.
Annapolis, Md.
Green Wave Edge Navy, 57-55, in Thriller
Tulane men's basketball team moved to 4-0 on the young season in thrilling fashion Tuesday night when the Green Wave edged Navy, 57-55, at Alumni Hall.
Navy is averaging 58.0 points per game, but allows opponents just 53.4 points per outing. They are shooting 39.5 percent from the floor, but have connected on 34.8 percent from 3-point range.
The Midshipmen don't have a player averaging in double figures, but are led in scoring by sophomore guard Brandon Venturini's 9.6 points per game, while freshman guard Tilman Dunbar is posting 9.4 points and 5.4 assists per contest.
Tulane enters Saturday averaging 67.9 points per game, while holding opponents to 50.0 points per outing. The Green Wave are shooting 40.5 percent from the floor and have knocked down 36.4 percent from 3-point land.
Junior forward Josh Davis leads the way individually with 18.9 points and 11.3 rebounds per game and has collected a double double in each of the last five games. Sophomore guard Ricky Tarrant is posting 15.0 points and contest and senior guard Jordan Callahan is adding 12.1.
This will be the second meeting between the two schools. Tulane defeated Navy, 57-52, on Nov. 22, 2011 in Annapolis, Md., in the only other meeting.
The Green Wave will close out the four-game homestand on Tuesday when they host Nicholls State at 7 p.m. CT in Devlin Fieldhouse.

Two Babies at Two Months
So, looking back at old pictures of MG when she was C's age, I see more of a resemblance than I thought! MG smiled a lot earlier than C, apparently. C still isn't smiling often. Probably because C sleeps so much more! She's really only been awake for about 10 minutes in her life. Gotta love a good sleeper!
Both of them are down for nap right now. How did THAT happen? Lucky me!

If you haven't already, try L'Instant de Guerlain Extreme. Frapin 1270 is much sweeter, but both fragrances share that 'gourmand ' smell.
Really like Frapin 1270 but the lack of longevity is disappointing. Any similar fragrances with better projection and longevity?

Guess there's nothing like it.

Try using unscented skin lotion prior to application.
Frank no 2 by Frank Los Angeles
Recently launched X-ray has a perfume named Morphine. The top notes differ significantly from 1270, but give it 15 minutes and you will have a sweet, boozy concotion somewhat similar to 1270. If you can stand the utterly tacky X-ray bottle I think you should give Morphine a try.

There's nothing I've smelled that smells like 1270, which is too bad, as it's a favorite of mine. There is one that I would recommend if you like 1270 though, and that's al02 by biehl parfumkunstwerke. Mind you, it doesn't smell like 1270 per say, but the two share a similar vibe (for lack of a better term).
If you like 1270 I'd wager you'd also enjoy al02 quite a bit.
I just got a bottle of 1270 myself. Super awesome scent. It's pretty unique but it's actually a bit similar to guerlain's Bois D'Armenie IMO. 1270 is better and cheaper than the Bois D'Armenie for the most part, although the Bois D'armenie has a certain lux powdery scent that makes it smell more expensive. (i still like it, haha). I'd say check that out.
D&G The One, and when Dior Homme dries down it kinda has 1270 vibe.
The sense of smell, like a faithful counsellor, foretells its character.
Love 1270, but for something similar with greater projection and better longevity, you could try splashing on a little of their Grand Cru cognac...heady stuff
I forget which one but there is another Frapin that smells like 1270.
Wow forgot about this thread after it wasn't getting responses early on.
Thanks for the suggestions. All of the fragrances mentioned are on my to try list; besides LIDGE, D&G The One, and Dior Homme which I own or have owned.
Someone said Frapin 1270 smells like a toned-down version of Jubilation XXV. Is this true?
keepin' it musky

keepin' it musky
I've heard some comparisons with Pure Malt. I kind of see the similarity, but not much.
I got the vibe of Creed Millesime Imperial, but sweeter. I mean they both are fruity in the similar noble way. However 1270 is not something extremely unique...
Watch my recent video review of
Guerlain L'Homme Ideal - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-PW_V1G0aw
I'm a big fan of 1270. Unknown Pleasures by Kerosene would be worth a try, if you're looking for something else in the neighborhood.

About the Blend:
With The Rolling Stones Forty Licks blasting in the cellar, our Winemaker crafted this custom Merlot from premium Mendocino County fruit, blending a one-of-a-kind wine with Rock 'n Roll mythology. To capture the essence of Forty Licks, the 40 tracks that cover the Rolling Stone's career, Winemaker Mark Beaman chose to work with Merlot. This varietal captures the comfort of turning to a solid classic that stands the test of time. Much like the band itself, Mendocino County winemaking stays true to its roots with a consistent and confident character not caught up in fads or trends.
About the Producers
Mendocino Wine Co. is dedicated to responsible land stewardship, sustainable viticulture and green business practices that yield superior wines while protecting the environment and supporting local farmers. These goals are reflected in the winery's E3 action plan: "...environmental responsibility, economic viability and social equity." Envisioning the wine industry as a model for all of agriculture, the partners lead by example. The award-winning brands produced by the winery include: Parducci Wine Cellars, Paul Dolan Vineyards and now Wines That Rock. In the spring of 2007, Mendocino Wine Co. became the first winery in the United States to achieve carbon neutral status.

Community engagement is a key component in the Honors Scholars Program's philosophy, which is why students are encouraged to partake in or create an outreach program for the community.
Current opportunities include, but are not limited to:
- Raising awareness of homelessness in Northwest Arkansas
- Raising money for art in Guatemala
- Working as a language instructor
- Running a film series on campus
- Raising awareness on human trafficking
- Tutoring
- Helping run elementary-age reading workshops
"Tutoring was a great experience. It was a really low-key way to get to know some kids in the area and make a tangible difference in their lives." --Margo Smith '11 (Political Science)
The Venue
The Honors Scholars Program is well-known across the JBU campus for hosting The Venue, a campus-wide party in which participants (honors and non-honors students, faculty, staff and administrators) are encouraged to explore the arts and raise their awareness of current political and social causes.
Each Venue is organized around a theme related to the arts such as Jazz, History of Photography, Italian Renaissance or the Horror Film. The Venue tends to draw between 150 and 250 participants and on more than one occasion some of JBU's cabinet members have been sighted sipping fair-trade coffee and swaying to the sounds of a live jazz band.

Reports that the associates of drug fugitive Tony Mokbel had received the approval to run poker machines at the Red Lion Hotel in Kilmore have bothered some gambling observers and analysts, especially since the hotel is owned by no other than Mokbel's estranged wife, Carmel.
The Victorian Commission for Gambling Regulation has ruled that Mokbel's associate, Natalie Doumani, as well as her own associates, were "suitable" and of "good repute".
Mrs. Doumani and her husband, Jack, have known the Mokbels for 30 years.
Mokbel was sentenced in March, in absentia, to 12 years' jail for trafficking in cocaine.
The question most observers ask is how reliable was the procedure done to look into the suitability and credibility of licence applicants.
The opposition is now calling on authorities to review the judicial procedure in granting licences to make sure that no criminal penetrate the legal gambling industry.
The opposition stressed that gambling brings in $1 billion annually to the State Government. If this amount has been tainted with crimes or illegal activities, then the integrity of the gambling industry is placed at a serious risk.
It would be recalled that a Department of Justice report has previously stated that poker machines form part of the primary source of money laundering in Victoria.

Bryan Beller: Life Story
Life Story
Bryan Beller (bass)
Thanks In Advance (Onion Boy OBR-6913002)
Bryan Beller (bass).
Composed by Bryan Beller.
Recorded: Nashville, TN, 2008
Rating: 92/100 (learn more)
Time is the enemy. There are only so many hours in the day to listen to music and write about it. I have talked of my reviewing process in some of my other reviews. For those of you who are new, here is a quick recap. For historic recordings, most of my thoughts are already stored in my head. I almost don't have to listen to the music. But I do anyway because sometimes I hear things I never heard before. For new music, I spend 10 minutes trying to open the CD package with a steak knife. After applying yet another bandage, I scan a few seconds of each cut to determine the tunes most worthy of review. Once chosen, I listen to an entire piece to double check my intuition. I then listen to the song again as I write the actual review. I have found this method to be the most effective because it allows me to be honest in the moment while making the best use of my time.
Then along comes an album like bassist Bryan Beller's Thanks In Advance that throws a kink in my regimen. Every tune sounds unique and compelling. I can't listen to 30 seconds here and 30 seconds there. Instead I am glued to my office chair, headphones attached intravenously, as I listen to each and every possible second of the music.
Beller first came to some prominence playing in the band put together by Frank Zappa's sons Ahmet and Dweezil called Project Z. He has had a longtime musical relationship with guitarist Mike Keneally and has played with Steve Vai.
"Life Story" is the most subdued cut on the album. But it is also the most sublime. Beller plays all manner of overdubbed basses in varying styles. The engaging melody is made of compressed single notes and chords run through some effects. The actual bassline is a collection of slides, harmonics and rolls that give the piece a fragile stability. But Beller has total control over all elements. In less than two minutes, this captivating gem is over. It is hard to believe that such a short piece would require almost two hours of my time to write about. But when you get truly captured by music, time is not your friend.

It's no secret that I love some Dawg round ball. It's also no secret that this season is coming out like a fat frozen turd. So with that in mind, we'll take a quick look at the situation before curling back up in to the fetal position and crying in a corner.
First, we have to deal with Mark Fox. He's shown some good as a coach, and a lot of bad lately. One problem I've worried about since the beginning is his offense. The triangle isn't exactly a good fit for a lot of the great athletes with underdeveloped skills and awareness you'll get in Georgia. Combine that with it's read and react sets that rely on veterans working together in unison, and it's just not an easy offense to go with in a southern college thanks to limited NCAA practice times and an ever-evolving roster as your players graduate just when they get things down pat. But the offense did work well in his second season, with Trey Thompkins as a do-it-all big man focal point, Jeremy Price working his wide butt on the low block, Travis Leslie attacking off the wing with Gerald Robinson, and savvy, smart PG Dustin Ware running the show. Getting that combination again isn't going to be easy.
So there's the offense we have to contend with, and on top of that, our piss poor recruiting. I'm not going to throw names under the bus, but our backcourt play has been horrendous, in part because Fox simply didn't recruit any until this past season. Our bigs have all been projects, and some just not SEC caliber at that. It's a disaster mix, and if Fox stays, he MUST figure out a way to start recruiting better. Adding JJ Frazier and Juwan Parker to Mann, Gaines, and KCP should help some, but we could use another SF that can shoot, and we have to start signing the best in Georgia. Well, not the best, but putting up a giant goose egg on top 150 in-state players when you have a dozen or so to choose from is absolutely unacceptable. Korey McCray should be available once Ben Howland gets done destroying UCLA, will Fox correct his biggest, earliest mistake? There's a dozen or more others coaching high school at a high level, or the game in some other way around Atlanta who'd also fit that bill of helping crack the long unopenable nut that is Atlanta hoops recruiting for Athens. If he stays, getting the ability to recruit Atlanta MUST be corrected, because the staff as currently constituted has shown time and again that it will fail at this necessary task.
OK, so what if the losses to Youngston St, Southern Miss, Iona, and others is just too much, and McGarity pulls the trigger. Then what? We need to spend some of our beloved profits, that's what.
The lack of willingness to fund a full fledged fix up of Foley Field is disturbing, but baseball isn't the proven money maker men's basketball can be (although with 30+ home games to sell tickets to and limited scholarships thanks to Title IX, it can be a good revenue producer instead of a revenue drain). And as shown the last time we were in the market for a head coach, we are willing to pay for proven quality (see the chase of Mike Anderson from Missouri before he got a raise and then got to go back to Arkansas). But it will cost.
The two most obvious names are Shaka Smart and Brad Stevens. Smart, who McGarity may have some familiarity with thanks to the year they were both at Florida, has a lot of positives. He's been an assistant at Florida, and at Clemson, so he's recruited Atlanta, and they know him. He's done well continuing, if not improving, on what Anthony Grant and Jeff Capel did at VCU before him. He can recruit, and he can coach. He also refused Illinois when they came offering a huge pay day. If we want Shaka Smart, we have to sell the hell out of the positives of the program (recruiting base, quality facilities, TV exposure, major market access, and the ability to build your way and be the legend instead of carrying on a legends' past), while showing our past problems (lack of support in all ways) is behind us. We also have to pay a salary close to Mark Richt. As said, he turned down slightly less than Richt makes from the Illini. Assuming Richt gets a pay bump over $3m per year, it can be assumed a near $3m annual salary (say $20 over 6 years or $25m over 8) has to be the starting point. But he could recruit, and coach, and with the right staff could easily flourish. There is no guarantee, but he seems like as strong a bet as any, if we can make him believe, and show a willingness to pay him (and his staff + other necessary expenses to strengthen the program).
Stevens, who took Butler to back-to-back national title games, has the coaching pedigree, but not the history down south to make instant credibility, somewhat similar to Fox in that regard. But where Fox made the mistake on staff, Stevens could address that just like a previously unknown Brian Gregory did at Georgia Tech, and his recruiting has shown the fruits of those staff decisions. Again, McCray should be available this summer as an assistant hire. Jonas Hayes could be kept to further solidify the relationship. Stevens has shown beyond the shadow of a doubt he can coach 'em up. Give him a staff to add the talent, and it could be a great match. Of course, why would he want to come south instead of look for the best job in the midwest? Again, we have to pay. He, like Smart, passed on Illinois. So the above mentioned $3m+ per year numbers are a starting point, and even then may not get him to jump. But he's going to be a name everyone discusses until he leaves Butler for a bigger conference gig.
After that, you are left with where we've been the last two years, looking at a mid major lottery ticket. Maybe they pan out like Billy Donovan did at Florida, or like Fox and Felton have here. It's a risk, but a cheaper risk. Josh Pastner has the recruiting chops, but hasn't shown the coaching acumen at Memphis. Plus they pay, so he's not likely much of a savings on the Stevens/Smart options. And you'd want to compliment his recruiting hustle with an expert Xs and Os assistant for in-game work.
Mick Cronin has done some good work at Cincinatti, and could be a viable option, and perhaps we can poach from another Big East school like one of the departing catholics (Buzz Williams at Marquette, Kevin Willard at Seton Hall?). Or maybe we pull in an old stop gap, like Lon Kruger from UNLV, Dave Fisher from San Diego St, among others, to hopefully just get us on a firmer footing for five years before we go back to the well for a long term fix at hoops head coach. Or maybe we can pull something no one sees coming out of left field, and rob a big name coach from a major conference school (ala LSU snagging Trent Johnson from Stanford, or South Carolina's hire of Frank Martin).
But we are about to find just how serious Georgia is about being a competitive men's basketball program. The pieces are there to be a yearly NCAA Tournament participant, if we ever quit shooting our own feet off. But will we? And are we willing to pay what it takes to get there? We'll see just how committed Fox is to turning this thing around. Or if he doesn't have the opportunity (don't be surprised if a retiring Adams and hands off McGarity give him one more year to fix the issues), then when we go looking, we'll know. Either we pay to finally step up and play with the big boys, or we keep cycling through the same messes that have put us in the punk position we've been stuck with for the majority of the past decade, and the majority of my life. I'm not optimistic, or as I said on dawgsports.com the other day, I'm "hopefully pessimistic". These next 3 months are going to be hard.

Variable-arity zipWith (re)invented.
Takayuki Muranushi <muranushi <at> gmail.com>
Continued discussion from https://groups.google.com/d/topic/haskell-cafe/-e-xaCEbd-w/discussion https://groups.google.com/d/topic/haskell-cafe/kM_-NvXAcx8/discussion Thank you for all the answeres and thinkings; Here's zipWithN for general Zip functors: [1] . This, together with [2] may constitute a small hackage. A modification from Wren's idea to [1] is the use of fmap instead of repeat. I'm wondering if there are any laws for Zip functors. I first thought that there are similarity between Zips and Applicatives, as [3] states > instance Applicative f => Zip f where > zip = liftA2 (,) However, my intuition is that zipping two arrays should result in an array of size of the same order as two, giving rise to a Zip functor law candidate: zipWith const xs $ zipWith const xs ys == zipWith const xs ys which is violated by the above statement "zip = liftA2 (,)" .

Ingold, B; Schraml, P; Heppner, F L; Moch, H (2009). Homogeneous MGMT immunoreactivity correlates with an unmethylated MGMT promoter status in brain metastases of various solid tumors. PLoS ONE, 4(3):e4775.
View at publisher
The O(6)-methylguanine-methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation status is a predictive parameter for the response of malignant gliomas to alkylating agents such as temozolomide. First clinical reports on treating brain metastases with temozolomide describe varying effects. This may be due to the fact that MGMT promoter methylation of brain metastases has not yet been explored in depth. Therefore, we assessed MGMT promoter methylation of various brain metastases including those derived from lung (n = 91), breast (n = 72) kidney (n = 49) and from malignant melanomas (n = 113) by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MS-PCR) and MGMT immunoreactivity. Fifty-nine of 199 brain metastases (29.6%) revealed a methylated MGMT promoter. The methylation rate was the highest in brain metastases derived from lung carcinomas (46.5%) followed by those from breast carcinoma (28.8%), malignant melanoma (24.7%) and from renal carcinoma (20%). A significant correlation of homogeneous MGMT-immunoreactivity (>95% MGMT positive tumor cells) and an unmethylated MGMT promoter was found. Promoter methylation was detected in 26 of 61 (43%) tumors lacking MGMT immunoreactivity, in 17 of 63 (27%) metastases with heterogeneous MGMT expression, but only in 5 of 54 brain metastases (9%) showing a homogeneous MGMT immunoreactivity. Our results demonstrate that a significant number of brain metastases reveal a methylated MGMT-promoter. Based on an obvious correlation between homogeneous MGMT immunoreactivity and unmethylated MGMT promoter, we hypothesize that immunohistochemistry for MGMT may be a helpful diagnostic tool to identify those tumors that probably will not benefit from the use of alkylating agents. The discrepancy between promoter methylation and a lack of MGMT immunoreactivity argues for assessing MGMT promoter methylation both by immunohistochemical as well as by molecular approaches for diagnostic purposes.

Man buys promoted tweet to flame British Airways
Seems fair
A DISGRUNTLED AIRLINE PASSENGER is so annoyed at British Airways (BA) that he paid to promote a tweet that criticised the airline.
Passenger Hasan Syed paid for the promoted tweet after British Airways lost his luggage on a business class flight, much to his dissatisfaction.
Syed said that he sent his Twitter message to BA and all of its followers. He apologised for his intrusion, but was unrepentant about his criticism of the airline.
"@British_Airways is the worst airline ever. Lost my luggage & can't even track it down. Absolutely pathetic," he said.
"Thanks for ruining my EU business trip #britishairways. I shouldnt have flown @BritishAirways @British_Airways. Never flying with you again".
BA did engage with Syed and asked him to follow it so that that he and the firm could exchange direct messages. The disgruntled traveller said that he is already following the airline and asked that it message him.
"How does a billion dollar corp only have 9-5 social media support for a business that operates 24/7? DM me yourselves," he replied.
In a statement BA told The INQUIRER that it has been in contact with Syed since then, has located his bag and is contrite about what happened.
"We would like to apologise to the customer for the inconvenience caused," it said. "We have been in contact with the customer and the bag is due to be delivered today."
Syed, who bought the tweet for both the US and UK markets according to a story at Mashable, has refused to disclose how much he spent promote his tweet. He is expected to reveal that along with some other social media information in a later reply.
Syed has revealed how much money he spent to raise awareness of his unhappiness, and how many people he reached.
According to tweets from him this morning he spent a cool $1,000 on the promoted tweet and sent it to 77,000 people. Around 15,000 people engaged with his message. µ

"The secret to change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new."
~~ Socrates~~
In order for a butterfly to change from a caterpillar, it has to cease doing everything. Completely. Despite what must be against all of its instincts until this point in time, it just simply must lie and wait for transformation.It has to submit totally to the massive changes, cell by cell, that will enable it to transform. It must lie in the prison of its coccoon, without stimuli from the world and wait, motionless. It trusts nature and its Creator that the agony and pain it feels will be worth what happens to it in the end.
So must we, in order for us to make changes in our lives and cope with the trials we face today, trust our Creator to know what is in our best interests. When we have need of change, either to ourselves or our circumstances, we have to know that the higher Power in the Universe in most definitely in charge. We need to admit that we cannot do anything in and of ourselves. We must ask for help for change, then totally submit our will and our inability to help ourselves.
It is against our natures to just submit to the will of another. We sometimes feel that there is no way on earth that there will be no end the pain we are feeling. Sometimes we lose hope that what we are going through now will ever change. We fight and kick against the pricks, but see nothing happening for the better. It is so difficult to just trust in our Creator to help us change. We aren't used to being still and waiting. We must submit to those things that will bring true transformation to ourselves and our lives. But it is the only way change can happen in our lives.
The caterpillar will, after its transformation inside its coccoon, emerge into the bright light, a new being, one totally and completely different than what it was before the great changes came over it. We, too, will become new beings, full of faith, hope, trust and love, if we but submit to the changes that can take place in us. We have to do what we can to make these changes, ask for help, then lie in wait.
The coccoon and its old life left behind, the caterpillar leaves the boundaries of its former being to take flight, as a glorious winged creature, to fly off into the world as a beautiful butterfly, fulfilling the measure of its creation. We, too, will become creatures of a lightness of being, to become the people we are meant to be. Trusting in everything that may seem against our nature, being still, allowing miracles to take place within us, will transform us into new beings of light. With hope, faith, patience, trust and love, we, too, will become all we are meant to be.
We will also leave the coccoon of our old lives, enter the new one and take flight.

Dennis Chambers: D.B.D.
Dennis Chambers (drums)
Front Page (Sunnyside SSC 3019)
Dennis Chambers (drums), Bireli Lagrene (guitar),
Dominique Di Piazza (bass).
Composed by Dennis Chambers, Biréli Lagrčne & Dominique Di Piazza.
Recorded: Paris, January 2000
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
"D.B.D." comes off as this band's end-of-the-first-set number. It is their "Rhythm-A-Ning." Part boogie, part Gypsy blues and part shuffle, "D.B.D." encapsulates the skill of each player into 3:48. And what skill it is! In the skittering introduction, Lagrčne and Di Piazza facilely match each other note for note. Chambers, perhaps the preeminent fusion drummer of our times, owns the break with a muscular display of time- keeping dexterity. Lagrčne then does his best impression of the good Larry Coryell as bluesman. The trio repeats the catchy intro and ends it on a high note mid-phrase. "Yeah!" we shout as the band leaves the stage. It's time to hit the men's room, get a gin & tonic and sit back down. The second set starts in about 20 minutes.

In late August 2013 the North Carolina State Legislature passed the North Carolina Tax Simplification and Reduction Act which removed a long-standing exemption for colleges and universities, and now requires that all food purchases made by current students be taxed at 8.25 percent (state sales tax plus Mecklenburg County taxes). School administrators state-wide lobbied against this change to no avail. The weeks following passage of the bill were spent clarifying which purchases would be affected and determining how to handle pre-paid meal plans.
The state sales tax on food is 4.75 percent. Counties in North Carolina may or may not attach additional local taxes to the sales tax. Mecklenburg County, where Davidson is located, adds 3 percent for prepared foods and .50 percent as a transportation tax. We have confirmed from the Department of Revenue that the college is responsible for all state and local taxes, bringing the sales tax total to 8.25 percent.
The state legislature has not indicated that it is temporarily lifting this sales tax exemption, so we should expect the 8.25 percent tax to continue into future years.
Your currently established payment plan will not be sufficient to cover the additional sales tax amount. You may either pay the additional tax in a separate payment to Davidson College, or you may adjust your payment plan to include the sales tax. If you choose to adjust your payment plan, please contact Susan Jimenez at email@example.com or 704-894-2208.
The Financial Aid Office will evaluate the current costs and awards of students currently receiving any type of aid (need-based, merit and/or athletic) to determine what (if any) adjustments need to be made to reflect this new sales tax expense. Any financial aid adjustments will appear on the February 2014 e-bill.
The 8.25 percent assessed on meal plans will be calculated on the price of the meal plan minus any Dining Dollars that accompany the plan. Dining Dollars are for discretionary food spending and will be taxed at the point of sale when they are actually spent. Visit the meal plans website for prices with the sales tax shown.
The legislation applies to all food purchases on campus, so regardless of form of payment (cash, check, credit card, declining balance via the CatCard, or Dining Dollars attached to a meal plan) students will incur the 8.25 percent sales tax charge.
The statute reads, "Food and Prepared Food Served at Institutions of Higher Education - G.S. 105-164.13(27) which provides an exemption from sales and use tax for the sale at retail and the use, storage, or consumption in this State for food and prepared food served to students in dining rooms regularly operated by State or private educational institutions or student organizations thereof is repealed." Patterson Court social organizations are not exempt from remitting the 8.25 percent sales tax to the state. Each house will be expected to comply with tax requirements. These student organizations will communicate with their house members independently.
Once your student selects a meal plan for the spring semester, the meal plan charge and the new sales tax charge will be added to their student account. These charges will appear on the February, 2014 e-bill.

Mexico Tries to Change Name to Canada
Mexican President Felip Calderon has launched a new initiative that would coerce the United States to open its border to the country currently known as Mexico.
Under Calderon's bold new plan, Mexico's official name would be switched from The United States of Mexico to simply 'Canada'. Calderon argues that over time, the fact that over 70% of Americans view Mexico as dangerous, unsafe and unsavory would drastically decrease. He further anticipates that since US law doesn't specify which 'Canada' it has an open border with, by grandfathering precedent, Mexico would have to be allowed to enjoy a fully open border.
Mexicans will vote on the initiative on January 10, 2013.

Is Danny Garcia-Robert Guerrero truly a can't-miss fight?
Former RING junior welterweight champion Danny Garcia and Robert Guerrero will meet in Jan. 2016. But is it a fight fans really want?
Former RING junior welterweight champion Danny Garcia and Robert Guerrero will meet in Jan. 2016. But is it a fight fans really want?
Will WBA super middleweight titleholder Andre Ward soon make his long-awaited return to the squared circle? It's certainly possible.
Veteran trainer Joe Goossen spoke from the heart with broadcast veteran Alan Massengale in a very special RingTV interview. Goossen talks candidly about the passing of his brother, beloved promoter Dan Goossen, Goossen Promotions' close relationship with Al Haymon, and what the future holds.

This past Sunday I had the pleasure of meeting a group of fellow foodies for brunch at the new Tre Trattoria Downtown, now occupying the space that literally two days prior was Insignia Restaurant. Chef Jason Dady teased his tweeps for those 48 hours, finally letting the cat out of the bag less than 24 hours prior to opening. Yes, sadly, Insignia is no longer. No worries. While the lunch and dinner menus are dramatically different and reflect those currently served quite successfully at the original Tre location at The Boardwalk on Broadway, the brunch menu at Tre D (as I'm calling it) thankfully is only slightly more than a logo change.
What remains unchanged is the marvelous mimosa menu, which truth be told, is really why we are here. First two mimosas are $1.00, which is great since you will want to try more than one of the creative choices. You also will still see the signature salmon dish (cooked beautifully as ever), the delicious blue crab and cream cheese stuffed crepes, breakfast pizzas, frittatas featuring seasonal ingredients, and the traditional Texas breakfast of steak and eggs that Tre elevates by serving a filet with hollandaise.
As expected, there are some new faces on the menu. Notably, the Breakfast Panini which features all the elements of breakfast: a potato latke, a fried egg – yolk dripping golden goodness, crispy chopped bacon glazed with maple syrup, all on a grilled English muffin. Breakfast in a bite, every bite. In theory, this should work. Really work. I practically eat my breakfast this way, anyway. A bit of this, a bit of that, all vying for position on my fork, then dipped in a bit of maple syrup. Yum! But this didn't quite make it for me. With a touch too much maple syrup, the sweetness overpowered the dish. I wanted more salt. I mean…I am sure it was there, just buried…deep. And crunch. The English muffin was on the soft side; unfortunately so were many of the other elements on the sandwich. I prefer the hard edges of a really toasty English muffin. For me this difference would have made the Panini much better, adding some textural variety my mouth craved.
Another new item on the menu is the Mascarpone Polenta topped with a fried egg. While I did not have a taste, it looked fabulously creamy and surprisingly hardy. My friend enjoyed it very much. I am looking forward to trying this dish out at a future foodie brunch.
Given what seems like a Clark Kent fast transformation, I could be slightly skeptical. However, with its highly regarded signature Tuscan food, Tre Trattoria is a proven brand. Add a laudable brunch, with a strong following, and I can only anticipate that Tre Trattoria Downtown will do superbly.

Football: Weekly Picks
What were Grossman's numbers in that game? How about 17 of 31 for 232 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions! And that was against a healthy Seahawks secondary; a secondary that's now so banged up that the team was forced to sign two players who were out of football two weeks ago. One was selling insurance, the other was out hunting. No joke.
Listen, we all know how lucky the Seahawks are to be in this game. If Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo didn't fumble the snap on that chip-shot field-goal attempt last week, the Bears would be hosting Dallas this week.
Bottom line: Last year the Bears earned home-field advantage and quickly got ousted in embarrassing fashion by the Panthers, and you better believe they're determined not to let that happen again. And now that they're finally playing a meaningful game for the first time in more than a month, Chicago is going to make a big-time statement against a Seahawks team that is 2-8-1 ATS in its last 11 road games and 1-8-1 in its last 10 games against the NFC.
Da Bears by three TDs, easy!
Prediction: Bears
Chicago-Seattle OVER 37Take away the meaningless 26-7 loss to the Packers in the season finale, and here were the final scores at Soldier Field this year: 34-7, 37-6, 40-7, 41-10, 31-13, 23-13, and 34-31. All seven of those games flew over the total.
Meanwhile, five of Seattle's road games, including the one in Chicago, had combined point totals of 43, 58, 63, 43, and 48; all significantly higher than the posted total in this game.
Also, the Bears scored more points per game at home (29) than they did on the road (25), while the Seahawks gave up more points per game on the road (22.5) than they did at home (20).
Not convinced yet? OK, perhaps this will do the trick:
- The over is 13-5 in Seattle's last 18 road games and 8-1 in Chicago's last nine at home.
- The over is 19-5 in Seattle's last 24 games on grass and 9-2 in Chicago's last 11 on grass.
- The over is 16-7 in Seattle's last 23 games as an underdog and 10-2-1 in Chicago's last 13 as a favorite.
- Finally, the over is 5-0 in the Bears' last five games in January and 12-2-1 in their last 15 against the NFC, including last year's 29-21 loss to the Panthers that had a posted total of 31!
Trust me, rain, snow or shine, there will be a lot of scoring in this game, and the Bears will be doing the majority of it.
Prediction: OVER
Does Brandon like the Eagles or the Saints?

A toddler was killed, suffocating to death, and his father faces murder charges. One Shasta County organization said the practice of reporting could have saved the child's life.
24-year-old Cody Wygant used to live in Redding. He was arrested Thursday April 17 at his home in Citrus County, Florida. Police in Florida said he confessed to suffocating his crying 16-month-old son, Daymeon Wygant, so he could continue playing video games.
Records with the Shasta County Recorder's office indicate the child was born in Redding.
Numerous people who knew Wygant in Shasta County said he had a serious disregard for his child's well-being. A woman, who chose not to be identified, spent time with Cody and Daymeon at a Northstate homeless shelter.
The unnamed woman said she saw Wygant do this practice of putting his hand over the child's mouth on ten separate occasions.
One Shasta County child abuse prevention group said they wish that person would have come forward.
"I wish she had the tools at the time to reach out and report him," said Rachelle Modena of the Shasta County Child Abuse Prevention Coordinating Council.
It is a case of persistent alleged child abuse that ended in the death of the young boy.
"I thought oh she must have not known what to do," Modena said. "What do you do when you see that?"
As the council's interim director Modena knows how difficult it can be.
"When you're alone in the world with a child and homeless the stress can be devastating," she said.
Modena sees many cases. 617 Shasta County children experience substantiated child abuse in 2013.
"I wish she had the tools at the time to reach out and report him."
-Rachelle Modena of the Shasta County Child Abuse Prevention Coordinating Council.
But she said recognizing the difference between strict parenting and wrongdoing can be tough.
"I always say we are not investigators. But anytime you have that concern know that you can call in to the suspected child abuse hotline," Modena said.
She said the help is there. In the case of Wygant, Modena said recognizing the signs and reaching out could have saved the toddler's life.
"We have professionals on-call 24 hours a day to take that information and to decide whether children and family services needs to be involved or not," she said.
Anonymous reports can be filed. To report suspected child abuse in Shasta County call (530) 225-5144.

I am doing a half bath remodel and I have a little bit of experience but would like a step by step flow chart of what order things are done. After demo, does it go: floors-plumbing-paint-install sink/toilet-lights/miror-trim-finish details? Am I missing a step?
Blueprint and a cost breakdown must be at the cheapest with a better a quality as well, that is why complete design and detail of your bathroom remodeling is necessary. Flooring will come next, cabinet and vanities, faucet and sink then shower.
Panel Pros Inc."We Haul & Install"847-774-4171
A half bath is a good start for a novice, if a pedestal sink is chosen then the plumbing rearrangement is probably in order as well as electrical placement in relationship to the pedestal/mirror size. The angle stop for the toilet may have to be relocated higher if a tall baseboard is used. Sometimes it is best to have the fixtures on hand to measure from.-Henry
Could you provide a little ore detail on the area you are planning your operation or attach some pics of that area. It would have been quiet easy for providing you suggestions on that.
Have you made any progress since your last post? Where are you now? Have you done any further planning?
The blueprint and cost breakdown are first, no question, but shouldn't the order be installation of toilet, sink, shower/tub; then plumbing fixtures; then cabinets; then electrics; with flooring last? I say this because it would be easier to test out the water fixtures and drains if you didn't have to remove/destroy any part of the floor if something were blocked or needed re-adjusting. When I remodeled one of my bathrooms, I had a problem with the toilet trapway fitting the drain pipe (it looked like all the parts were fitted properly and connections snug), but it would leak slowly whether or not it was flushed. Of course I didn't want to have to purchase a new commode and I could find nothing to fit both sides of the connection at the same time. Luckily I found a great plumber to help solve the problem, but I ended up having to destroy quite a bit of the flooring in order to get the problem sorted.

Irishman in hospital after Sydney assault
A young man from Kerry is recovering in a Sydney hospital after he was allegedly assaulted.
Police say that Kieran Cahill, 25, from Killarney, was punched in the face a number of times, knocked unconscious and then had his head stomped on repeatedly in Sydney CBD early on Monday morning.
NSW Police Insp Seán Heaney said: "The victim is Irish. He is a 25-year-old male. He had head injuries which required him to be sedated for recovery.
"One has been charged. Police are continuing to conduct investigations to identify another person."
Police say the young Irishman suffered a shattered jaw, and underwent an operation on Tuesday to have plates inserted.
Kiore Ronaki, 24, from Hoppers Crossing, in Melbourne, was on Tuesday charged with reckless grievous bodily harm in company before Local Court Magistrate Mabbutt and was refused bail.
The matter is listened for mention on March 11 before the Local Court.
Mr Cahill lives in Bondi and works as a yard manager for construction company Subakette.
Staff were shocked when they heard what had happened.
Subakette owner Michael Daly said: "He is with us just over a year and he is a gentleman. He is a really good worker, punctual and a very bright young man. He has a great work ethic and he is a valued employee. He manages a couple of the yards.
"If you were to pick one of the lads least likely to get into something it would be Kieran. You would be hard pressed to get a couple of words out of him. It's a very poor situation," he added.
Mr Cahill was allegedly attacked as he stood outside Emre's Kebab and Pizza on Goulburn St, close to the popular Irish pub Scruffy Murphy's.
Around 1.50am three men were at the front of a nightclub on Goulburn Street and police are alleging that they made inappropriate comments to a number of females.
It is believed that the Irishman intervened and was allegedly set upon by the men.
:: Police release CCTV still
Police rushed to the scene and they arrested a 24-year-old man at World Square.
Police also arrested a 26-year-old man at the intersection of George and Liverpool Streets. He was released without charge but a third man is still wanted for questioning.
Police have released a photograph of the third man (left) and appealed for information.
"The person is described as an adult male of Pacific Islander appearance, and is depicted in the vision wearing a green shirt, shorts, and black shoes. Investigators would like to interview the person in the vision about the matter," NSW police said, in a statement.
Police say anyone with information about this incident should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

No. 17 Lady Raiders Head To Big 12 Championships
April 25, 2013
Lady Raider Notes | Big 12 Notes | Practice Photo Gallery
No. 17 Texas Tech earned a share of its second consecutive Big 12 Conference title and will enter the 2013 Big 12 Championships as the No. 2 seed, earning its second consecutive first round bye in the event.
It is only the third time in program history that the Lady Raiders have advanced to the quarterfinals on a bye. Texas Tech also advanced on a bye in 2006, when the Lady Raiders earned the No. 4 seed in the event. Texas Tech is 10-16 all-time in the Big 12 Championships.
But for Texas Tech to have any success in the event, it will have to break the glass ceiling - the semifinals. In the first 15 years of the Big 12 Championships, Texas Tech had played in the quarterfinals nine times, but never advanced to the semifinals. Last season, as the tournament's No. 1 seed, the Lady Raiders finally advanced to the semifinals, but fell short of reaching the finals with a 4-1 loss to Texas A&M.
If Texas Tech wants to host the first two rounds of the NCAA Championships at the McLeod Tennis Center in Lubbock, it must advance to the finals of the Big 12 Championships.
Texas Tech will face the winner of No. 54 Kansas State and West Virginia on Friday at 3 p.m. in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Championships. Kansas State is the No. 7 seed and went 3-6 in the Big 12 and 9-10 overall this season. West Virginia was winless in league play (0-9) and 4-16 overall.
The Lady Raiders defeated Kansas State, 5-2, in Wamego, Kan., earlier this spring. Texas Tech is 12-11 all-time against Kansas State.
Texas Tech topped West Virginia, 6-1, in the only meeting between the two schools earlier this season.
If the Lady Raiders advance to the semifinals, they would either face No. 25 Texas or No. 32 Oklahoma State. Texas Tech defeated both schools earlier this season, with the win over the Longhorns being just the second in program history and the first-ever in Austin. Texas holds a 40-2 series advantage. The Lady Raiders have won four straight against Oklahoma State, but the Cowgirls lead the series, 11-9.
Texas Tech has one of the best doubles lineups around and it showed as all three doubles squads were named position championships in the Big 12 Conference on Tuesday.
The No. 1 tandem of Samantha Adams and Kenna Kilgo are 21-8 on the season and finished Big 12 play 7-2 and shared honors with Baylor's Ema Burgic and Victoria Kisialeva and Kansas State's Petra Niedermayerova and Karla Bonacic.
The No. 2 duo of Nikki Sanders and Rashmi Teltumbde had the best record of any doubles tandem in the league, finishing with a 7-1 Big 12 record to edge out Texas' Aeriel Ellis and Elizabeth Begley. Sanders and Teltumbde have a team-best 22-8 record this season.
The No. 3 team of Caroline Starck and Elizabeth Ullathorne were 7-2 at No. 3 doubles, edging out C.C. Sardinha and Maria Alvarez of Oklahoma State, who were 6-2 this season. Starck and Ullathorne were 18-7 as a tandem this year. This is the second straight year Ullathorne has won the No. 3 doubles title. She teamed with Teltumbde to win the honor last season.
In all, Texas Tech won 21 of 23 doubles points this season and won at least one doubles match in every match. The Lady Raiders also swept doubles 10 times this season.
Senior Caroline Starck is closing in on 100 career wins, which is something that has not been accomplished in the modern era of collegiate tennis.
In the early 1990s, the NCAA put limitations on the number of matches a student-athlete could compete in and has limited players from reaching 100 career wins.
Entering the Big 12 Championships, Starck has a career singles record of 95-38 (.714). She ranks seventh all-time in career victories, but has the most of any player over the last 25 years at Texas Tech.
Interestingly enough, she has secured victories at five of the six positions in the rotation during her four years on the South Plains.
Starck is also a two-time Big 12 position champion, winning No. 4 in 2012 and No. 6 in 2013.
FINDING A STACK OF 20s
Junior Nikki Sanders has a knack for winning and winning. In three years at Texas Tech she has produced three straight 20-win seasons, fortifying the 4-5-6 rotation of the lineup.
She was just named the 2013 Big 12 No. 5 position champion after a perfect 9-0 record in Big 12 play this season. Overall, she was 16-3 in dual matches and 23-5 for the season.
Against Baylor on Sunday, she won her 70th career match and now ranks 15th on the career wins list. But more impressively, her record is 70-19 (78.7 percent) and 24-4 (85.7 percent) in Big 12 play. Sanders has the second highest winning percentage in program history.
Sanders has been just as steady in doubles play, notching 67 career wins over three seasons and has won 71.3 percent of her doubles matches.
When Texas Tech earned a share of its second straight Big 12 title, it became just the third school to win back-to-back titles, joining Texas and Baylor.
The Lady Raiders also joined Texas and Baylor as the only schools to have won multiple Big 12 regular season crowns.
Texas Tech is just the fifth school to win the Big 12 Conference Women's Tennis title, joining Baylor (8), Texas (8), Texas A&M (1) and Oklahoma State (1). Texas has won six outright, while Baylor has won six.
Only one time in the history of Texas Tech have the Lady Raiders won 20 matches in a single-season - 1987. That year, Texas Tech went 20-4 under the direction of Mickey Bowes.
Last season, Petty guided the Lady Raiders to an 19-6 mark and he led Texas Tech to an 18-8 mark in 2011, the best record since 1987.
This season, the Lady Raiders are 18-5. The 55 wins over the past three seasons are the most over a three-year period in program history. The previous best mark was 51 wins from 1985-87.
Samantha Adams climbed from No. 93 to No. 78 in this week's ITA Top 125 singles rankings.
In doubles, Adams has teamed with Kilgo to earn a No. 17 ITA Top 90 doubles ranking, while seldom used tandem of Sandra Dynka and Kelli Hine are ranked No. 88.
Adams and Kilgo are 21-8 this season and are currently 7-8 against nationally-ranked doubles tandems. They are looking to make their second straight trip to the NCAA Individual Championships after qualifying last season.
Dynka and Hine are 4-1 on the season, but have not competed since September. The duo is 2-1 against ranked opponents.
Texas Tech women's tennis set a new watermark for success off the court on Tuesday, as a school record seven players were named Academic All-Big 12.
The first team honorees are seniors Sandra Dynka, Caroline Starck and Elizabeth Ullathorne, juniors Samantha Adams and Rashmi Teltumbde and sophomore Kenna Kilgo. Junior Nikki Sanders was named to the second team.
This is Starck's third straight selection to the Academic All-Big 12 first team, while Ullathorne and Adams are each making their second appearance in the first team.
The seven honorees surpasses the previous high of five set in 2009, head coach Todd Petty first year at Texas Tech. The Lady Raiders tied the Big 12 record of seven honorees set by Oklahoma in 2003, when the Sooners had seven first team selections.
Texas Tech has now had 60 Academic All-Big 12 honorees since the Big 12 Conference was founded in 1996. There have been 20 honorees under the five years Petty has been head coach.
