Showhouse Rooms in Neutral Palettes
Soothing and refined, netural rooms make a statement
Atlanta Symphony Showhouse
Atlanta, Georgia
If Cheryl Womack and her daughter, Alison Womack-Jowers, slotted the master suite they designed into a color wheel, it would hover delicately on pale neutrals, never sliding into the spectrum's deep, vivid tones.
Although dressed mainly in ethereal hues, the room has flashes of citron to spark its refined spirit. "There has to be some color in a room," says Womack. "It's all about balance and distribution."

The grand architecture of the suite includes large windows on two walls, allowing streams of sunlight. Linen drapery panels patterned with gray embroidery hang from rods high above the tops of the windows, exaggerating their height.
An array of crisp white and yellow bed linens make little noise, leaving an upholstered bench in citron-colored velvet at the end of the bed as a call for attention. Tucked in one corner are an antique chest and a mirror made to look old. Next to an armchair, a ceramic garden seat is unexpected, adding glossy texture and complementing the neutral scheme.
A graceful seating area is arranged in front of a window framed by linen panels with beaded trim. A chenille-covered chaise longue topped with a Greek key-patterned pillow is served by two tables: an airy acrylic tiered piece and a weightier mahogany side table illuminated by a Murano lamp from the 1950s in the room's signature yellow accent hue.
Decorative crystal orbs throughout the room reflect the citric accent hue in their kaleidoscopic surfaces.

Lake Forest Showhouse
Lake Forest, Illinois
Designer Gerri Wiley had the best intentions. The views of the garden outside the sunroom she was designing were so captivating, it seemed unfair to steal nature's thunder. But in her effort to give the room quiet chic—with sophisticated fabric, a smoky-gray palette, and tailored furniture—she created a room so beguiling that it entices guests to stay inside.
Positioned against the wall under a landscape oil painting that melts into the background, a 19th-century Syrian wedding chest displays dazzling mother- of-pearl inlays.

Even before Wiley added furniture and accents, the sunroom's long stretches of windows made it an appealing place to be.
She enhanced the setting by tinting the walls a warm, gentle dove gray and choosing a taupe sisal rug with a contrasting Moroccan motif stitched into its ground. Lacy stripes of flowers dance from end to end on the ceiling, leaving no surface ignored. The room is lit by a crystal chandelier in the shape of an oversized tulip.
"When I established the neutral color scheme, I knew that each piece needed to be well-thought-out, unique, and able to stand on its own, since there was no color to highlight it," explains the designer.
The politely reserved seating arrangement includes a sofa with simple lines in luxurious gray velvet and a pair of graceful armchairs with white linen on their fronts and embroidered cotton on their backs. Tufting and contrasting gray piping add exquisite details. A tufted ottoman, also in white linen, marries the seating pieces.

Greenwich Designer Showhouse
Greenwich, Connecticut
As he created this guest room, designer Matthew Patrick Smyth imagined a jet-setter enjoying the soft color scheme and restrained decor that would encourage relaxation.
"I would love for this room to be somewhere waiting for me in another city—a city like London or Paris," says Smyth, "or in a private home as a retreat where one might go in the afternoon to read."
Inspired by fence grating he once saw on a trip to Dublin, world-traveler Smyth drew a plan for the room's custom sisal rug in a gray-and-beige quatrefoil pattern. The handsome rug sets the palette for the room.

Against the wall is an iron-and-brass Empire daybed with a regal corona that has been part of Smyth's personal collection since he moved to New York. The panels flowing from the corona are fashioned from two fabrics—a glazed linen also used on the room's Roman shades and upholstered walls and a gray linen used as its lining. The pleated corona is embellished with nailheads and a silk trim.
Designer Matthew Patrick Smyth.
With little architecture in the room, Smyth devised a scheme to make the ceilings, wallpapered in pale green, seem higher, thus more in keeping with the dramatic height of the corona above the bed. Framing each window are custom wood panels that Smyth designed and had fabricated and decoratively painted.
On the opposite side of the room, an ottoman can be pulled out from under a console table for extra seating.

What's the difference between MuckAway™ and PondClear™?
Missy – Birmingham, MI
Walk into a teenage boy's room and, as often as not, you'll be met by piles of dirty clothes, smelly sneakers, pizza crusts, apple cores, and other detritus of teenage life — an unsightly, smelly mess. A thorough clean-up usually involves several steps: first, you pick-up stuff until you find the floor; second, you put the stuff away; and finally, you dust, polish and vacuum. Let two weeks pass (or whatever your mess threshold happens to be). Repeat.
As pond owners know, there is a bit of the teenage boy in Mother Nature. She thinks nothing of dumping leaves, pollen, sticks and other organic material in your ponds, clouding the water and mucking up the bottom. Like the boy's room, cleaning up your pond often involves a multi-pronged approach. Fortunately, we have the perfect products – MuckAway™ and PondClear™ — to meet your needs.
Both products release aerobic bacteria that digest organic debris, removing excess nutrients and leaving a clearer, cleaner pond. Both products are eco-friendly and easy to apply. Where they differ is the target area. MuckAway™ (as you, the saavy reader, might infer) is designed to remove the 'pond muck', organic debris that accumulates at the bottom of your pond. One scoop of MuckAway™ pellets, spread evenly, can treat 1,000 square feet of shoreline, beach area or anywhere muck has gathered on the bottom of your pond. Use every two to four weeks after water temperatures have climbed above 50 degrees until desired results are achieved.
Pond Logic® PondClear™ is intended to digest the floating organic debris that can cloud up your pond. Available in liquid or water soluble packets, PondClear™ goes immediately to work clearing up your pond water without ever impeding your pond use. Like MuckAway™, PondClear™ is NOT a chemical and has no water use restrictions on swimming or irrigation.
Like all great pairings – Rodgers and Hammerstein, Stockton and Malone, hydrogen and oxygen, peanut butter and jelly – MuckAway™ and PondClear™ are terrific on their own, but together they make an unbeatable team when it comes to promotion and maintenance of a clear, healthy, fresh-smelling pond.
Pond Talk: Have you used either MuckAway™ or PondClear™ in the past and noticed increase in results from using both?

Can't login to Outlook and I have the correct password
Posted by Debbie Serrano, Last modified by Debbie Serrano on 17 August 2015 04:30 PM
Email Trouble Shooting
When you have the correct password and are not able to login to your email through Outlook, it is probably due to an email setting that needs to be changed. Check to see if your email settings are similar to the settings below
Settings for Microsoft Office
When they have their Outlook open -
Click on Tools followed by Account Settings. This will open a different window.
Double click on your email account or click new if you need to create a new account.
These settings should be roughly similar. The main difference would be the endings - it would have their domain name on the end instead of ourchurch.com. So the incoming server settings are mail.domainname.com and the outgoing would be the same. After these settings have been set, click on the More Settings button on the right.
In the General tab, make sure the email address in the Mail account is the same for the reply email. This should be the same as the email address on the page where you clicked the More Settings button.
In the Outgoing Server tab, check the My Outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication box is checked and the radial button below that as well.
In the connection box, they should have the LAN box checked.
The Advanced settings are very important when receiving and sending. Incoming server port is 110. The Outgoing server port is 587 (it used to be 25, but that port isn't working any longer) and the encrypted connection is None. Another option for a port # is 465, but you will need the Use the following type of encrypted connection to say SSL (like in the example).
Once the account has been set up, click on the Test account settings button from the first window in the email account setup and see if a test email is sent/received successfully.

Happy hues and midcentury silhouettes impress at the Modernism week Showhouse in Palm Springs
For the third consecutive year, Traditional Home traveled to Palm Springs, California, to partner with designer Christopher Kennedy in celebrating the classic design style that is midcentury modern. The 2017 Christopher Kennedy Compound Modernism Week Showhouse was also a renovation. Social media star Kelly Lee—of lifestyle blog Kelly Golightly—and her husband, Klaus, opened the doors of their refreshed 6,500-square-foot villa in the Andreas Hills area to raise money to support preservation, education, and neighborhoods in Palm Springs. More than 20 talented designers, including Kennedy and Lee, shared their interpretations of midcentury modern design. Join us for a tour.

Charisma radiates in the light and bright living room by Barclay Butera. "Palm Springs has always held such a Rat Pack vibe for me," he says. The designer's posh space pays homage to the golden age of Hollywood. Visual Comfort's alluring chandelier joins other gilt accents—note the coffee table's sleek linear legs. "I love it when no one's back faces the room," Butera says of the seating arrangement, with armchairs, ottoman, and spacious sectional sofa by Lexington Home Brands. Luxe textiles, such as shag pillows and the designer's own grass-cloth wallcovering for Winfield Thybony, layer on the glamour. The Avenza white marble flooring is by Country Floors.

Dining Room by Christopher Kennedy
Color and pattern converge in the dining room by Christopher Kennedy. "It's the first thing you see, straight ahead, as you enter the front doors," Kennedy says. "So I knew I wanted it
to be a swoon-worthy room that would make guests gasp—and they did." Jim Thompson fabrics and vinyl wallcovering dress the room in dynamic hues. Despite being "a bit risky," the designer says, the 1960s Ibex dining table is his favorite. The head chairs and tufted side chairs are from The Mine. A bar cabinet adds flexibility when hosting intimate gatherings.

Kitchen by Kelli Ellis
"It's the desert look with a traditional aesthetic," Kelli Ellis says of the crisp kitchen. Clean white cabinets from Eggersmann are accented by gold hardware. A custom hood, a midcentury-style orb ceiling fixture, and backsplash tile from the designer's collection with TileBar continue the glitzy scheme. "It illustrates that all metals really can be mixed," Ellis says. A marble farm sink imbues charm while a large island affords ample space for entertaining. Bar stools with salmon-pink upholstery and polished gold-tone legs lend pizzazz.

Office by Michel Smith Boyd
Michel Smith Boyd went muted and masculine in the office. "This is what a destination work space looks like for a contemporary desert dweller," he says. With the exterior views as his inspiration, Smith Boyd set out to create a calming atmosphere conducive to thinking. The desk—a marble slab top and four solid marble bases—is the designer's favorite piece while the brass stool and vintage chair with blue upholstery are close seconds. A club chair and coordinating ottoman offer a more relaxed place to work. Contrasting Crossville floor tiles form a chevron pattern. The inventive chandelier is available through Ferguson.

Powder Room by Keith Fortner
A Marilyn Monroe photo by Milton Greene inspired Keith Fortner to create this feminine powder room. The 3-D-printed faucet from DXV was the first piece Fortner selected. "The faucet had never been seen before, and I wanted the rest of the space to elevate it as a unique showpiece," he says. "Chrysanthemum" crystal sconces from Fine Art Lamps accent a floral hemp wallcovering from Phillip Jeffries. A curvy-frame mirror echoes the AlysEdwards tile flooring's stainless-steel inlay.

West Guest Room by Joy Cho
Just like her home decor collection, Oh Joy! for Target, the colorful guest retreat by Joy Cho exudes happiness. "It's like a party in your bedroom," the designer says. A daybed upholstered in an imaginative fabric perches under the window. The "YAY" vases and "OMG" bookends are part of the designer's Oh Joy! line. Cho created the DIY pom-pom draperies and the gold-dot decals applied to the walls. The sculptural ceiling pendant is from Visual Comfort.

West Guest Room Bath by Meg Caswell
Custom tile panels by Allison Eden Studios served as the jumping-off point for the guest bath by Meg Caswell. "I love the mix of mirrored and colored glass," Caswell says. To highlight the
tile, she laid it in strips accented with orb sconces. Thibaut's arresting orange sisal wraps the small space in texture. An oval mirror offsets the angles of the rectangular marble vanity. The vintage cactus containers were discovered in Palm Springs.

West Patio by Jean Liu
You could say the west patio by Jean Liu is a bit bananas. "Our catchphrase for the showhouse design was 'We're bananas for Palm Springs,' so bananas play a central role in the design," Liu explains. A quirky custom mural by Craig Grimston introduces excitement to a long, white stucco wall while Bolon's striped floor covering conceals the ordinary concrete slab. Clean-lined outdoor furniture by Stori Modern flaunts the brand's signature colors of yellow, black, and gray. Potted cacti and beautiful mountain views complete the energetic escape.

Lounge by Grace Home Furnishings
Michael Ostrow and Roger Stoker of Grace Home Furnishings introduced tropical flair to the lounge. "We wanted the room to have the feeling of a grand tented cabana," Ostrow says, calling attention to the dramatic Osborne & Little wallcoverings on the walls and pitched ceiling. The duo kept most of the larger pieces in solid colors—note the green leather swivel chairs. In this pass-through space to the main living areas, the seating needed to float in the middle of the room. "There are no square corners, making the walkway more comfortable," Stoker says. The bar area with acrylic stools also serves as the main entrance off the pool. An open console stores floor pillows beneath. The modern gas fireplace is by Malm.

Family room by Kelly Lee
"I envisioned this sunny spot inviting you to kick back with a book and a martini while a record plays in the background," homeowner and designer Kelly Lee says.
Family Room by Kelly Lee
The family room's upbeat palette was inspired by the vibrant front doors in Palm Springs—note the framed prints by Fred Moser. A wallcovering with silver flecks introduces glitz to the back wall. Lamps Plus provided the arc lamp and yellow chaise. A disco ball, fanciful pillows, and a faux-fur throw augment the inviting corner. The plush patterned carpet is by Stanton. "It's colorful, cozy, and glamorous—Palm Springs to a tee," she says.

Atrium by Cynthia Spence
Just want to hang? Cynthia Spence equipped the indoor-outdoor atrium with everything you need, including a fringed hammock. "In my head I saw someone taking a catnap in the hammock," Spence says. The weatherproof room—featuring a sisal rug, two large skylights, and Perennials outdoor upholstery—withstands inclement weather in style. White Roman shades with subtle pattern provide privacy. Stori Modern's handwoven wicker ottoman offers an extra place to sit. The white gesso chandelier is from Paul Ferrante.

East Guest Room by Sarah Sherman Samuel
"I pushed the boundaries on pattern, scale, and finish in order to excite with a bit of sensory overload," Sarah Sherman Samuel says of the east guest bedroom. "Pink Agate" wallcovering from the designer's own collection wraps the space in organic pattern, which Samuel counterbalanced with a wide-striped rug. A lavender chair and fuzzy stool afford comfortable seating. Natural wood pieces, such as the large dresser and cerused-oak coffee table, juxtapose shiny brass elements. An original drawing by The Cartorialist joins an oversize mirror to accessorize the walls. "I wanted the room to have the feel of a high-end boutique hotel," Samuel says.

"Bubble" Bath by Dawn McCoy
Dawn McCoy teamed with Möet to fashion the ultimate "bubble" bath. "The room bubbles over with effervescence, understated glamour, and unabashed whimsy," McCoy says, noting the tub, lined and filled with bottles of rosé champagne. Tilework by AlysEdwards on the bath wall and floor evokes a spa-like aura. The gilt polka-dot wallcovering by Kate Spade New York through Kravet mimics the fizzy beverage. A faux-bois table ensures a phone—and cupcakes—are within arm's reach while taking a soak. Audrey Hepburn art, fresh roses, and a shaggy pink rug finish the feminine retreat.

"Cloffice" by Natasha Minasian
Dubbed the "Cloffice"—a hybrid between a closet and an office—this wardrobe-meets-workstation by Natasha Minasian marries utility with style. Utilizing The Container Store's TCS Closets system, Minasian created a stylish sanctuary that displays the homeowner's love for fashion. "I wanted the woman who collected this wardrobe to have a place to enjoy it and enjoy the process of getting dressed," she says. An acrylic desk sits pretty atop Stanton's patterned carpet. A fuzzy stool, a Visual Comfort crystal-spike chandelier, and Dorothy Draper's iconic banana-leaf wallcovering amp up the glamour.

"Cloffice" Bath by Dee Murphy
The adjoining bath by Dee Murphy makes an impact while still being soothing. Cole & Son's soft blue flamingo wallcovering references homeowner Kelly Lee's love for the majestic birds. "The photography reminded me of something Lee would wear and picks up the pattern on the black-and-white floor tiles," Murphy says. The designer's own rattan settee gives the room "relaxed, California-girl energy," she says. Chic sconces, a substantial vanity, and a mirror found while thrift-shopping round out the serene bath.

Laundry Room by Rachel Cannon
Rachel Cannon made sure the laundry room is memorable. "They're often thought of as strictly utilitarian," Cannon says. "I wanted to take some of the headache out of the chore of washing clothes." Again, Palm Springs' iconic doors played a role in the design. Cannon had the newly installed storage cabinet doors—re-creations of three famous front door designs—coated in bright colors from Dunn-Edwards Paints. The printed grass cloth suggests a midcentury vibe while remaining current. A burl stool, a white console, and a vintage rug furnish the well-appointed space.

"It's meant to be an oasis that complements the pool views," says Allison Mattison, who designed the master bedroom with her partner at Trellis Home, Liza Sharp. A cockatoo wallcovering by Florence Broadhurst energizes the lively design. The custom bed canopy is garnished with teal tiebacks from the designers' trim collection for Pyar & Co. The headboard, bedding, and flanking bedside tables with lacquered grass-cloth detailing are by Selamat Designs. Stanton's "Hunter Hill" carpet provides comfort underfoot.

Terrace by Christopher Kennedy
The terrace, also designed by Christopher Kennedy, is ideal for alfresco entertaining. "In Palm Springs we live outside, so I knew it needed to exude the nostalgic glamour for which our town is famous," Kennedy says. A grand dining table from The Mine is anchored by 1970s "Peacock" rattan chairs in bright yellow. A wooden ceiling with painted pale blue inserts supports two Sputnik-inspired chandeliers. The midcentury-style side chairs are also from The Mine. Pool views prompt guests to take a dip after dessert. "It's a Palm Springs dream brought to life," Kennedy says.

Colorful towels are corralled in a gold wire hamper. Underneath, chevron floor tiles make the small space sing.

MINOOKA — A 15-year-old girl was killed Sunday night in an accident that involved four Channahon teenagers.
Elizabeth Daniels of Channahon was taken to Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center's emergency room where she was declared deceased at 8:51 p.m., according to the Will County Coroner media line. Daniels was a Minooka Community High School student, said Minooka Police Chief Justin Meyer.
Daniels was a back seat passenger in a vehicle that was struck by another vehicle at U.S. 6 and McLindon Road at 7:56 p.m., Meyer said. The vehicle Daniels was riding in had four teenagers inside.
The car was driven by Patrick O'Connell, 17, of Channahon. O'Connell is a student at Joliet West High School, Meyer said. O'Connell was northbound on McLindon when he allegedly drove through a stop sign and was T-boned by a vehicle heading east on U.S. 6.
O'Connell was taken to Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center as well, but he was released, Meyer said. O'Connell was charged with disobeying a stop sign, failure to reduce speed and operating an uninsured motor vehicle. Meyer said there is no indication that alcohol or drugs were involved.
Two other 15-year-old girls were in O'Connell's car as well. The one in the back seat with Daniels was taken to Presence Saint Joseph, but she was then airlifted to Loyola Hospital in serious condition, Meyer said. She is also a Minooka Community High School student. The front seat passenger, also a Joliet West student, was released from Presence Saint Joseph.
The vehicle that hit O'Connell's car was driven by a 26-year-old Minooka woman who was also taken to the hospital, but Meyer did not know her condition. The second driver is not being cited with any charges.
The coroner's office will do an exam on Daniels at a later time.
Calls to Minooka Community High School District 111 have not yet been returned.

Luna joins several luminaries, but its disappearing act is the best
The moon waxes through the weekend, until Tuesday's full moon, known as the Grass Moon, the Egg Moon and the Pink Moon. This is also the first full moon since vernal equinox, the Paschal Moon, marking the start of Passover and setting the date for Easter the following Sunday.
Thursday the bright gibbous moon hovers below the first-magnitude star Regulus, heart of Leo the lion. Stretching up from the star like an inverted question mark is the Sickle of Leo, which marks the head of the celestial lion. Located along the ecliptic — the pathway through the heavens of the sun, moon and planets — Regulus is joined every month by the moon, which is never more than five degrees away.
The following nights the moon marches eastward against the backdrop of stars, leaving Leo and approaching Virgo. By Saturday it is in a barren patch of sky, midway between Regulus and equally bright Spica to the east. Don't confuse Spica's blue-white glow with that of ruddy Mars a few degrees away.
By Sunday, the moon forms an uneven triangle with Mars and Spica, its shape shifting as the three objects pivot to the west. Monday the near-full moon is within five degrees of Mars — and about half that distance from Spica. The three are so close that they will all fit within the field of view of binoculars or telescope. Come Wednesday, the moon comes within a few degree os Saturn amid the faint stars of Libra.
Tuesday, the full moon rises as the sun sets and sets the next morning at sunrise. But in between, a little before 1am, the moon slowly inches behind earth's full shadow, or umbra, in a total lunar eclipse. The eclipsed moon never actually disappears, but it does darken considerably, sometimes taking on a coppery or even blood-red hue as if illuminated from within. While the hours are for night owls, we're in prime position to see this along Chesapeake Bay (as is most of North and South America as well as Australia). Unlike an eclipse of the sun, you can stare at this all you want with no worries.
Beginning around 1am, the moon crosses into earth's outer, or penumbral, shadow. The change is slow and subtle, with the moon's left, or northwest, edge starting to darken ever so slightly. But by 2am, as the moon slips behind the umbral shadow, the darkness spreads and deepens. The total phase begins at 3:07am, and at 3:46 the moon, earth and sun will be almost perfectly aligned, with the moon appearing as an eerie shadow of its usual self. Totality ends at 4:25am, and by 5:33 the moon will have crept from the umbral shadow. As daybreak draws near, the moon escapes earth's shadow, only to set in the west.

Mexican Newspaper's New Ombudsman: Drug Cartels
If you're ever feeling depressed about the decline of newspapers in America, just be thankful you're not in Mexico—where a newspaper's been reduced to politely asking drug cartels for editorial guidance, in exchange for not being murdered.
El Diario de Juarez, the biggest paper in Ciudad Juarez, has had two employees assassinated this year. Yesterday, the paper ran a front-page editorial essentially asking drug gangs for censorship guidelines.
"Leaders of the different organizations that are fighting for control of Ciudad Juarez: The loss of two reporters from this publishing house in less than two years represents an irreparable sorrow for all of us who work here, and, in particular, for their families," the editorial said. "We ask you to explain what you want from us, what we should try to publish or not publish, so we know what to expect."
Jesus Christ that's sad. Not that we're blaming them; most Mexican papers in their position already gave up on serious crime reporting long ago. But god damn.

The Crimson (13-9, 4-1 CWPA Southern Division) has won four straight, all against CWPA opponents, to close out its regular season schedule. Harvard, which sits four games over .500, is looking for its first back-to-back winning seasons since 2004 and 2005.

Senior Day Excitement
Senior co-captain Devan Kennifer scored with 33 seconds left in regulation to tie the game and fellow classmate and co-captain Shannon Purcell provided the game-winner with 44 seconds remaining in overtime to propel the Crimson past No. 20 Hartwick, 12-11, on Tuesday. The win over Hartwick, the Crimson's fourth consecutive victory, was Harvard's first in the last 27 meetings between the two schools dating back to 2001. Junior Aisha Price led Harvard with four goals, while senior Monica Zdrojewski had four assists and Kennifer added eight steals. Freshman goalie Ariel Dukes anchored the Harvard defense down the stretch as the Crimson shutout the Hawks for the entirety of the fourth quarter and two overtime periods.

Hindu lawmaker joins group dedicated to "upholding Judeo-Christian principles"
When a group of lawmakers today announced they were forming something called the Colorado Legislative Prayer Caucus whose goal was to "uphold Judeo-Christian principles," one name stood out on the list.
Rep. Janak Joshi, R-Colorado Springs, the only Hindu in the legislature.
The new prayer caucus is a local outgrowth of the Congressional Prayer Caucus, and while the Colorado Legislative Prayer Caucus is technically a bipartisan group, only two of its 27 members are Democrats. The caucus includes the most socially conservative Republicans from both chambers, and while a press release says the group reveres the nation's "Judeo-Christian" heritage, none of the legislature's Jewish members appear to be in the caucus.
According to a press release, the group's goals are to:

In just two weeks, 78 junior golfers will head to Grayhawk Golf Club for the 14th Thunderbird International Junior. Among this talented group of players, 20 of them will travel from 12 countries to Scottsdale, Ariz., for the AJGA's first summer Invitational.
Within the tournament's history, champions of the event have continued their golf careers at the collegiate and professional level. The first Girls Division champion in 2000 was Virada Nirapathpongporn of Bangkok, Thailand, who went on to win the women's NCAA Championship in 2002 while playing for Duke and the U.S. Women's Amateur in 2003. Belen Mozo of Cadiz, Spain, won the Thunderbird International Junior in 2004 and continued her career at the University of Southern California. She was a four-time NCAA All-American before joining the Symetra Tour and is in her second year on the LPGA Tour.
Twenty-nine girls will look to follow in the footsteps of these past champions at Grayhawk Golf Club this year, which includes 21 AJGA medalists and champions. ANNIKA Invitational Europe champion Linnea Strom of Hovas, Sweden, will compete in her second AJGA event after tying for fifth at the ANNIKA Invitational in Reunion, Fla.
Looking at the past champions on the boys' side of the draw, one will find NCAA champions and PGA TOUR players. Current PGA TOUR player, Ryan Moore, won the Thunderbird International Junior in 2001. He followed his junior career at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas before turning professional and winning the 2012 Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. Casey Wittenberg won the Invitational in 2002 after being named Rolex Junior Player of the Year in 2001. He was recently honored as the 2012 Web.com Tour Player of the Year.
In the 2013 Boys Division, 23 of the 48 junior golfers are AJGA champions and medalists. Brad Dalke of McKinney, Texas, will look to repeat history after winning the event in 2011 as the AJGA's youngest boys Invitational champion at 13 years, 9 months and 11 days.

While I missed the parade due to an unexpected visit with bike builder Dale Saso, I saw the entries at the Green Prix Parade scattered about on S. First St. and E. San Salvador.
Zero 1 had a kind of post-apocalyptic air about it, something Dave Barry would have picked up on in a minute, until it comes to the Green Prix entries. Now we're talking real fun.
The geodesic dome human-powered vehicle with a surfboard on top drew a crowd, as did the Golden Gate Bridge bike. We saw the white ferry cyclists and the San Jose ballerinas prancing down the street with their electric gizmos emitting strange noises. I'm not making this up.
And no human-powered gizmo parade would be complete without a tracked Mad Max car. Too fun!
Your opinion counts
Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition wants your opinion about cycling and what savings you see from bike riding, and how you spend all that money you didn't sink into your Mercedes. It only takes a minute.
Speaking of Mad Max, have you seen the Madfiber wheels? Someone who can afford the best ($2,600 for a set) and coolest will want these carbon fiber wheels. They're made (baked) in Seattle, Wash., in a former bakery. I'm not making this up.
Behind the innovative wheels (as if you didn't know!) is Ric Hjertberg, past owner of Wheelsmith in Palo Alto. There's a set at Veloro in Redwood City.

Did Vince Young Borrow $300K To Throw His Own Birthday Party?
Ex-NFL quarterback Vince Young borrowed more than a million dollars during the 2011 lockout, including $300,000 to throw his own birthday party, his former financial adviser said in a videotaped court deposition last month.
Ronnie Peoples, president and CEO of Peoples Financial Service Inc. in Raleigh, N.C., said he arranged for the loan from New York-based Pro Player Funding LLC when he found out that Young had already paid for the extravagant birthday party.
"I think we still would have been OK to go ahead and survive until the next season, but he had a birthday event coming up that he paid 300 and some thousand dollars for," Peoples testified.
Pro Player Funding LLC won a judgment against Young in July for a balance of $1.7 million on a $1.9 million loan. Young is challenging the judgment. His attorney, Trey Dolezal, disputed Peoples' account as inaccurate.
Young has also filed a lawsuit in Houston against Peoples and his former agent, Major Adams, claiming the men misappropriated $5.5 million. Young filed another suit in New York against Pro Player, claiming they are a predatory lender and accusing the company of harassment.
Though the former Titans, Eagles and Bills quarterback received $26 million in guaranteed money from his 2006 contract, Young has had financial trouble since 2011.

UNC suspends G Leslie McDonald for 3 games
The specific reason for the suspension was not disclosed in a statement issued Wednesday, roughly five hours before the Tar Heels' game against Georgia Tech.
Coach Roy Williams says McDonald "did not do what we expect of our student-athletes," and McDonald says he did not take care of his responsibilities as a student-athlete.
McDonald missed the past three games with an injured right knee. Williams says the junior guard would have been medically cleared to return this week.
The school says McDonald will return Feb. 2 when UNC plays Virginia Tech.
He missed all of last season with a right knee injury and is averaging 8.4 points this season while shooting 43 percent from 3-point range.

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (AP) — Kamil Stoch considers himself fortunate to have won his second gold medal of the Sochi Olympics, overcoming what he called a "tragic" final jump Saturday to claim a narrow victory over Japanese veteran Noriaki Kasai.
Still, the 26-year-old from Poland will take it, completing a sweep of the normal and large hills and becoming only the third jumper — after Simon Amman and Matti Nykanen — to win double jumping golds in the same Winter Games.
"I have weird thoughts at this moment. I'm thinking, 'Is it happening for real or is it a dream?'" he said.
"I'm not thinking about the fact that I'm third in history. It's a shock for me that I made it because of the jumps I did today. The second jump was tragic."
Stoch, who dedicated the win to his wife, Ewa, as a belated Valentine's Day wish, said he was lacking in confidence heading into the final.
"Today I was nervous all day from the morning to the end of the competition," he said. "I made some mistakes, but what the heck, I won the competition."
Kasai took silver while Peter Prevc of Slovenia, who won silver in the normal hill, earned the bronze Saturday.
Jumping last in the first round after the trial round was canceled due to fluctuating winds, Stoch jumped 139 meters and totaled 143.4 points to give him a three-point lead over Kasai, a margin the Japanese jumper whittled down to 1.3 points after the final round.
Kasai, whose first Olympics was at Albertville, France in 1992, now has Olympic medals 20 years apart — he won his first, a team silver with Japan in the large hill — in 1994 at Lillehammer, Norway.
Kasai finished eighth in the normal hill last week, but said Saturday he should have done better.
"I took the medal that I didn't take in the normal hill," Kasai said. "Then I felt regret and now I feel happy."
A gold by Kasai would have broken a week-old record set by Ole Einar Bjoerndalen, the 40-year-old cross-country skier from Norway who won gold in the 10-kilometer sprint at Sochi.
"All these years I was disappointed by the Olympic Games. Today I just had to do it," Kasai said. "I wanted gold but you know, it is what it is."
Amman, the defending champion from 2010 — he also won the normal hill that year in Vancouver — had a chance to win a record fifth Olympic gold medal. But the 32-year-old Swiss jumper, who has said he will likely retire soon, never looked the part in training or on Saturday and finished 23rd.
"It's hard preparing for three years ... I have to take it easy for the rest of the season," Ammann said. "It's not the greatest feeling right now."
Three Americans who qualified for Saturday's final — Nicholas Alexander of Brattleboro, Vt., Anders Johnson of Park City, Utah, and Nicholas Fairall of Andover, N.H., didn't make it to the second round. Fairall was 35th, Alexander 48th and Johnson was disqualified — along with Canadian Matthew Rowley — for suit violations.
The 7,500-capacity crowd didn't appear to mind waiting while the wind ribbon zipped sideways in alternate directions for a while, forcing the first round to start 15 minutes late. Men with Viking helmets, kids dressed up in bunny costumes and one optimistic local wearing a hat with three podiums — all flying Russian flags — added to the atmosphere.
The men return to action on Sunday with training rounds for the team event to be held Monday night. Austria is the defending champion but Japan is now a big favorite after four of its jumpers finished in the top 13 on Saturday.

President Barack Obama's announcement Tuesday evening that he plans to use an executive order to set up MyRA retirement accounts for moderate-income workers is receiving praise from the retirement planning world. But it hasn't stemmed criticism of his earlier proposals to change the tax treatment of retirement savings for those with large accounts.
Obama said that on Wednesday, he would direct the Treasury Department to set up a new savings bond, called MyRA, to allow working Americans to kickstart their own retirement savings. "It's a new savings bond that encourages folks to build a nest egg," Obama said during his State of the Union speech. "MyRA guarantees a decent return with no risk of losing what you put in."
Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, said that while he commends Obama "for recognizing that we are facing a retirement crisis" and that the president "is doing everything he can to make the system work better for middle-class families," he has "limited tools."
Harkin plans to introduce on Thursday his "comprehensive legislation" that he says "tackles the retirement crisis head-on by ensuring that every working person has the opportunity to earn a safe, portable and secure pension."
Harkin will unveil Thursday at the National Press Club in Washington his Universal, Secure, and Adaptable (USA) Retirement Funds Act of 2014, which would create a new type of privately run retirement plan intended to combine the advantages of traditional pensions — including lifetime income benefits and pooled, professional management — with the portability and ease for employers of a 401(k).
Workers earning less than $191,000 per year would be allowed to invest in Obama's MyRA, and there would be no tax penalty for withdrawals. Initial investments could be as low as $25, while subsequent investments could be only $5 and automatically deducted from workers' paychecks.
Harold Evensky, president and CEO of Evensky & Katz, says that while MyRA "may open up savings opportunities for those with incomes at the low end of the 'middle class,'" such an account will be "of little interest/help for many middle-class investors." Families at the upper end of the middle class, those with incomes of $50,000 to $100,000 "are likely to be in a position where parsing savings down to $5 a pop is not necessary."
Bottom line, says Evensky: "If [MyRA] encourages even a few extra people to save, I think it's a valuable concept but not one to justify changing the tax advantages of a traditional 401(k)."
Once a worker accumulates $15,000 in their MyRA account, or they have the same account for 30 years, they would have to roll it over to an individual retirement account.
The accounts would have the same variable interest rate return as the Thrift Savings Plan Government Securities Investment Fund accounts that federal employees enroll in.
In his speech, Obama also renewed the call for automatic enrollment in IRAs, a proposal that has been floated in Congress with little support.
In his speech, Obama asked members of Congress to work with him "to fix an upside-down tax code that gives big tax breaks to help the wealthy save, but does little to nothing for middle-class Americans."
Previously, the Obama administration had proposed capping tax-advantaged retirement accounts at about $3.4 million.
Brian Graff, CEO and executive director of the American Society of Pension Professionals and Actuaries, challenged Obama's statement that the tax incentives for retirement savings are "upside down" — meaning they mostly go to the wealthy. "In reality, households making more than $200,000 only get 17% of the tax benefits from 401(k) plans, while middle-income households enjoy the majority of such tax benefits," Graff said. Graff challenged Obama's assertion that the tax incentives for 401(k) plans primarily benefit those with higher incomes. "In fact, 80% of 401(k) plan participants are middle-class Americans making less than $100,000."
Obama "once again called for cuts to the tax incentive, like last year's proposal to cap overall retirement savings, which punishes successful savers who played by the rules and will certainly lead to the termination of small-business retirement plans once business owners reach the cap," Graff said.
Obama's "starter IRA accounts would do pitifully little to replace the significant benefits that millions of American workers get from their employer-sponsored plans if the tax incentives for retirement savings are reduced," Graff added. "It is disappointing that he chose to couple a proposal to help expand retirement savings opportunities for those without a plan at work with a threat to the tax incentives that power existing retirement savings plans for millions of middle-class American families."
Investment Company Institute CEO Paul Schott Stevens said in a statement: "While we welcome the president's effort to create new retirement savings opportunities, it is with regret and deep concern that we heard his comments about reducing the retirement tax incentives that have been part of the foundation for the success of the private sector retirement system for all Americans, including hardworking middle-income Americans."
An ICI survey found that a majority of U.S. households — with and without retirement plan accounts—disagree with the notion of changing the current tax treatment of defined contribution accounts to remove or reduce tax incentives for retirement savings.
