Hampton Designer Showhouse 2013
30 + designers showcase seaside style in the expansive interiors of the Hampton Designer Showhouse
Searching for a sunny outlook on design? Look no farther than Long Island and the annual Hampton Designer Showhouse. Now celebrating its 14th year, the event is regarded as one of the country's most spectacular design showcases. You are about to see why Traditional Home is so proud to serve as a presenting sponsor.
A charming Shingle-style estate set on 5 acres in Bridgehampton served as the setting for the 2013 showhouse benefiting Southampton Hospital. The sprawling, 11,600-square-foot retreat—complete with tennis court and hiking trails—accommodated more than 30 designers brimming with innovative ideas. Some rooms boast bright colors and woven textures, conveying an ocean aesthetic, while others maintain a neutral scheme with antique elements and contemporary forms. Surrounded by lush greenery, the porch and pool areas offer nearly unlimited entertainment options to entice guests. Designers weren't afraid to play with pattern and integrate artwork. In all cases, the emphasis on comfort and cohesiveness is evident. The end result: a collection of sophisticated spaces sure to inspire. Join us for a tour chock-full of chic interpretations of summer living.
A well-manicured lawn greets guests at the shingle-style showhouse's front entrance.

Entry Foyer by Michael Herold
"It showcases classic design elements and a unique flair for meaningful art," Michael Herold says of the eclectically curated two-story foyer. Benjamin Moore's "Cloud Cover" paint pops against the dark-stained wood floors. Iconic Pedro Friedeberg hand chairs add whimsy. A geometric pattern from Stanton Carpet covers the stairs.

Living Room by Brian del Toro
Inspired by a recent trip to China, Brian del Toro chose "furniture that was either from Asia or that had simple lines to echo the stronger Chinese elements" for the living room with soaring proportions. Patterns with predominantly white grounds—like the subtle faux bois wallcovering and pretty pillow fabrics—add interest without overwhelming the eyes. A curved sofa and wing chairs flanking the mantel provide ample seating. The horse figurine is from Lladró.

The window treatment's floral fabric with olive and aqua tones jump-started the dining room's design. "We wanted the space to exude a casual elegance fit for any meal, anytime," Skye Kirby Westcott says.

Butler's Pantry by Sean Bruns and Judy Hadlock
The fun zebra wallcovering drove the neutral palette. "Playing up big scale in a small space creates energy in a room," Judy Hadlock says. Charcoal Caesarstone countertops complement the crisp white cabinetry. The wine cooler is courtesy of Sub-Zero.

Kitchen by Robert Bakes
White rift-sawn oak cabinets bleached to the shade of driftwood are a sunny nod to the nearby ocean in Robert Bakes' kitchen. The designer warmed the space with a mix of white-painted and bleached-wood finishes rather than install an all-white kitchen. White Macaubas quartzite from AKDO covers the island. Overhead, twin polished-nickel fixtures from Hudson Valley provide task lighting and can be dimmed for intimate dining.

Keeping Room by Patricia Fisher
With its sumptuous seating and subtle cream-and-gray palette, the keeping room is an ideal spot to spend the weekend. "It's user-friendly, but still sophisticated," says designer Patricia Fisher. Shots of chartreuse hint at the beautiful Hampton views beyond the bay windows. The linen sofa, matching club chairs, tiered coffee table, and silver orb chandelier are by Ballard Designs.

Sitting Room by Dennis McAvena
Dennis McAvena arranged the long, narrow sitting room to induce rest and relaxation. Sheer draperies allow sunlight to stream in through the terrace's double doors. The custom banquette features brown linen from Pearson with bronze nailhead trim. Pearson also provided the coordinating lounge chair. An antique area rug, 18th-century prints, and shagreen nesting tables add personality.

Porch by Bryant Keller
Bryant Keller didn't want typical patio furniture in his outdoor space. Instead, he sought out antique pieces from India and the South Pacific that can withstand the Hamptons' humid climate and hold up against rain or sun. The four-post daybed and plantation chairs are "both comfortable and beautiful, without a hint of patio." Handwoven rice bags offer additional seating.

Family Room by Sherrill Canet
To make the sprawling space more intimate, Sherrill Canet divided it into two distinct sitting areas. The room features furnishings from Pearson, including the oversized ottoman in a perky ikat print. Canet discovered the back wall's collection of mirrors in Marrakech. "The Moroccan flavor was the perfect fit for the beach-chic atmosphere," she says.

Lounge by Dale B. Cohen
Dale B. Cohen's architectural eye came in handy when working with the lounge's open floor plan. A stationary panel camouflages the stairwell, forming a backdrop for the sitting area. An angular sofa fits perfectly in front of the simulated wall with an amoeba-like coffee table and a playful pouf. "The room needed an expressive sculptural object—something people would circulate around like a piece of art," the designer says. So she collaborated with artist John Houshmand to create a giant beehive-like lantern of woven wood strips. The gray carpet is from Shaw Floors.

Rec Room & Wine Cellar by Eddy Doumas with Vicki Glotzer and Victoria Jones
"We envisioned the homeowners and their friends enjoying whiskey and wine over great conversation," explains Eddy Doumas. Navy wall paint acted as a springboard for the rest of the room's design. Family-friendly accessories add a playful feel to the space.

Media Room by Annemarie diSalvo and John Lawlor
"All good theater designs should create a cocoon-like experience," says Annemarie diSalvo, who designed the light and bright media room with John Lawlor. The purple-and-gold draperies stimulated the ceiling's geometric design. A velvet-upholstered, high-low sectional sofa lets guests lie down and still be at eye level with the screen. A popcorn maker is essential for any viewing party. The carpet is by Shaw Floors.

Laundry Room by Sean Bruns and Judy Hadlock
An indigo wallcovering in a trellis pattern instantly updates the laundry room. The oversized crystal chandelier proves "small, utilitarian spaces can be just as stylish as main rooms of the house," Judy Hadlock says. The stacked washers and dryers are from Electrolux. An antique étagère offers efficient storage for soaps and cleaning supplies.

Polished-nickel faucet from P.E. Guerin.

Master Sitting Room by Bradley Stephens
Bradley Stephens drew the club-like palette of the master sitting room from the natural tones of the seaside. Grass cloth wallcoverings, a chevron-patterned ceiling, and a seagrass rug evoke the timeworn, gray-brown tones of driftwood and weathered shingles, providing a backdrop that welcomes a mix of modern furniture forms.

A shell-encrusted bust of Julius Caesar presides over the console table in the master sitting room. Ottomans by Scott Daniel can be tucked away or pulled out for extra seating.

Master Bedroom by Celerie Kemble
Celerie Kemble's master bedroom serves as a "sophisticated, year-round retreat from city life." The foliage-inspired wallcovering plays well with the room's fabrics, including the draperies' pinstriped linen and the desk chair's Prussian blue velvet. Sheer draperies on the Henredon upholstered bed enhance the airy atmosphere. Maitland-Smith provided the shell-inlay folding screen, wastebasket, and brass desk lamp.

Master Bathroom by Michael Mariotti
Hudson Valley Lighting's crystal-beaded chandelier caps an assembly of glamorous elements in Michael Mariotti's master bathroom. Mirrored sconces, graceful sheers, a Lucite vanity chair, and a high-gloss tile floor add to the sparkle factor. Trim in a white Benjamin Moore paint creates a clean division between grass cloth walls and a Venetian plaster ceiling.

Dressing Room by Austin Varner
Austin Varner's dressing room exudes luxury. Matching velvet-covered chairs practically float on the plush, ivory-colored rug by The Rug Company. Antique trim stylishly breaks the stretch of velvet on a round ottoman. An exotic marbleized vellum dresser nods to framed artwork and the soft gray walls.

Bedroom by Keith Baltimore
Keith Baltimore's design rules include "thinking outside the box, sticking to a theme, and using unexpected pieces." He kept to those tenets when piecing together this "quintessential summer bedroom." An antique area rug grounds the refuge's twig-patterned wallcovering, soft-pink linen sofa, oak coffee table, and crocheted window treatment. A Noguchi lantern and painted stripes of silver and white highlight the tented ceiling.

Guest Suite by Elizabeth Hagins with Richard Mortimer
An upbeat palette, abstract art, and contemporary furnishings combine in a "1970s-style gentlemen's retreat." Elizabeth Hagins and Richard Mortimer imagined a noted art critic spending his weekends in the suite. No doubt Troy Lighting's stunning hand-forged iron pendant would meet with the critic's approval. The colorful area rug is from The Rug Company.

This "opulent yet casual" bedroom suite by Barbara Page is feminine without being fussy. The quatrefoil grass cloth wallcovering sets the stage for a vibrant honeydew headboard and lavender silk draperies. An upholstered Lucite X bench holds court at the foot of the bed.

Bedroom by Barbara Ostrom
Barbara Ostrom's bedroom is the honeymoon hideaway couples yearn for. The faux bois wallcovering and custom bed canopy disguise the room's awkward sloped walls with uneven angles. A sheepskin bench with Lucite legs and a fanciful, faux coral mirror supplement the otherwise traditional trimmings. Stealing the show is the painted ceiling in a trellis-and-vine motif.

Bedroom by Lynne Scalo
Because the showhouse has so many bedrooms, Lynne Scalo decided to design a "game-room getaway with a Marrakech-meets-Hamptons vibe." Eclectic seating pieces, ranging from rattan peacock chairs and zigzag-print poufs to a shearling-upholstered chair with stainless-steel legs, sit pretty atop the sisal area rug. A "keyhole" mirror adds glamour. The polished-nickel chandelier is by Corbett Lighting.

Guest Bath by Alan Court
Natural textures and neutral tones underscore this tranquil retreat designed by Alan Court. Recycled leather tiles form a unique wallcovering, which is offset by molding trim painted in Benjamin Moore's "Morning Dew." A crushed-glass countertop and pewter hardware dress the driftwood vanity. The mirrors with wall-mounted lights reflect a lovely bronze orb pendant.

Porch by Ken Gemes
A resin-wicker pedestal dining table from Frontgate affords prime pool views on this well-appointed wraparound porch. The chairs, console, and awning-striped rug—also by Frontgate—play off the room's white ceiling and trim. In terms of entertaining, "I envision St. Barts-style lunches with Domaines Ott rosé in abundance," says the space's designer, Ken Gemes. Pedestals with fluted urns full of ferns soften the shingle walls. The hanging lanterns in antique-bronze finish are from Hinkley Lighting.

Pool Area by Jack Levy
Designer Jack Levy intended the corner pool area to be an intimate gathering spot, not used solely for sunbathing. The serene escape is furnished with sectional sofas, a coffee table, and an umbrella from Gloster. A soothing color scheme of blues and wood tones references the water, bluestone, and tree bark. Tower-like finials introduce architecture to the flourishing backdrop.

Marissa Gedman netted a pair of power-play goals in a 4-2 win over Rensselaer Friday (Gil Talbot).
Highlights: Harvard at Rensselaer Feb. 10, 2012
TROY, N.Y. – Sophomore Marissa Gedman scored a pair of power-play goals in the second period as the No. 8 Harvard women's hockey team downed Rensselaer, 4-2, Friday night at Houston Field House. The Crimson (17-8-1, 14-4-1 ECAC) completes the season series sweep against the Engineers (8-19-4, 5-12-2 ECAC), and moves one step closer to securing home ice for the first round of the ECAC tournament.
After a pair of power-play chances eluded the Crimson in the first period, Harvard capitalized on both of its second-period power plays, extending its lead to 3-0 after two periods of play. A checking penalty on RPI 3:55 into the frame gave Harvard an extra skater and the Crimson took advantage 1:05 later. Kelsey Romatoski dished a pass to Kalley Armstrong just to the right of RPI goalie Kelly O'Brien. Armstrong redirected the pass back up top where Marissa Gedman wound up and fired a shot that snuck through for her sixth of the year exactly five minutes into the second.
Harvard found itself on the power play again four minutes later and it was Gedman once again providing the scoring stroke. Gina McDonald tipped the puck away from a bunch in front of the RPI net, back to Romatoski who was lurking in front of the blue line. Romatoski flipped a pass to her right to Gedman, and the sophomore fired true again, pushing the Harvard lead to 3-0 9:01 in. The Crimson squashed two more RPI power plays and entered the second break with a three-goal edge.
Lyndsey Fry stretched the Harvard lead to 4-0 early in the third period, capitalizing on a heads-up pass from Hilary Hayssen with 16:31 to play in the frame. The Engineers refused to go quietly, however, and got on the board when Laura Guillemette jumped on a fluky bounce off the back boards at 9:42. Taylor Horton Narrowed the gap to two from close range at 11:15 of the third, but that is as close as the Engineers would come. The final minutes of game were littered with penalties on both teams, but the Crimson stayed poised, ending the 4-2 win on a power play.
The Crimson put on a defensive clinic on the first period, holding Rensselaer without a shot through the first 18:26 of the game, a span which included a pair of RPI power plays. Harvard was unable to capitalize on a brief five-on-three chance midway through the frame, but broke through at even strength with 5:14 left in the frame. An errant RPI pass made its way into the Rensselaer zone and Samantha Reber followed the play with vigor, holding up the puck. Jillian Dempsey came in for help and her chip from the left corner found Reber in the near faceoff circle and the rookie lifted home her sixth of the season.
Harvard wraps up its final road trip of the regular season tomorrow in Schenectady, N.Y., when it takes on Union in a 4 p.m. game.

As Alison Redford met the Progressive Conservative Party board Saturday amid concerns about her troubled leadership, some Tory MLAs used social media to air less-than-subtle grievances about the Alberta premier and caucus representatives.
Mary Anne Jablonski, who holds the seat for Red Deer North, tweeted that fellow MLAs in attendance at the meeting "do not represent me," a comment shared on Twitter by Edmonton Riverside MLA Steve Young.
On Friday, cabinet minister Doug Griffiths raised eyebrows on Twitter with a series of motivational-style tweets that appeared to question Redford's ability to govern the party.
One read: "Never push a loyal person to the point where they no longer give a damn," while another said "You can judge the character of a man by the way he treats his inferiors."
Meanwhile, two Tory MLAs joined the social media backlash over Alberta associate minister Sandra Jansen's controversial "electrician" remarks made on a political television show Friday.
Jansen, who leads the government's anti-bullying initiative, said former Tory backbencher Len Webber "should go back to being an electrician" after he left the government caucus amid claims that Redford is a bully.
Jansen later apologized, but her comments touched a nerve among some of her colleagues. "My son is an electrician and he is brilliant," said a tweet from Sherwood Park PC MLA Cathy Olesen, which included the hashtag "bully."
The controversy continued Saturday, with Edmonton Decore MLA Janice Sarich criticizing Jansen on Twitter: "My son is an electrician apprentice and my family is very proud of him. Comments by Assoc Minister r disturbing."
But the social media outbursts from within the PC party sparked scorn from some political rivals, with Wildrose MLA Rob Anderson tweeting Saturday: "I'm no Redford fan, but the hypocrisy of these demoted MLAs who did nothing but fawn over Redford's policies til now is beyond lame."
Such public displays of disagreement could take a toll on the PCs, political observers argue.
Division within the party ranks suggests the long-governing Tories and individual MLAs are showing the strains of political longevity, said Chaldeans Mensah, associate professor of political science at MacEwan University.
"The party is showing a lack of focus. Social media attacks really are damaging in terms of the public perception of the party's ability to stick together as a united group and prepare for the next election," Mensah said.
Any hint of social media rebellion is remarkable among insiders of any party, but especially during a leadership crisis, said Mount Royal University political scientist Duane Bratt.
Without the usual consequences for public criticism, there's little to stop Jablonski, Griffiths and others from speaking their mind. The biggest danger to Redford remains within the party, Bratt said. "It's not been a good couple of weeks for her and social media allows the story to keep percolating."
If MLAs are feeling emboldened to speak, there could be more trouble ahead, he added.
"The legislature is due for a break in about two weeks and they are all going back to the curling rinks and coffee shops in various parts of Alberta. They could be getting an earful about Redford and when they return to Edmonton, we'll see what happens."

National Novel Writing Month is over. Let National Novel Re-Writing Month begin!
Actually, there is no official, organized Revising-Your-Novel month. But if there were, and if everyone did the truly writerly thing and revised their novels obsessively, I'm not sure there's an Internet big enough to contain all the words it would produce.
As it is, National Novel Writing Month (or NaNoWriMo for short) produced 3.3 billion words, according to its website, and probably more than 35,000 drafts of novels that are at least 50,000 words each (the final count won't be in for a week or so).
Having finished a 50,000-word manuscript by Nov. 30 makes you a "winner" as defined by NaNoWriMo, which earns you a golden halo (or is it a ring?) over your avatar on the NaNoWriMo website.
I took a stroll on the NaNoWriMo site to get a sense of what people had written. I thought I'd make some comment on how "good" or "bad" the writing was, but after looking at several manuscript excerpts and reading through some of the NaNoWriMo forums, I realized that was an entirely inappropriate thing to do.
The purpose of NaNoWriMo, after all, isn't to produce polished work -- the kind of work that you could show, say, to an agent or people in a writing workshop. NaNoWriMo's organizers admit as much on their website.
"Do not edit as you go," they counsel. "Editing is for December and beyond. Think of November as an experiment in pure output. Even if it's hard at first, leave ugly prose and poorly written passages on the page to be cleaned up later."
Well, all that ugly prose and those poorly written passages are there now to see, if you peek at some of the excerpts. God bless the people who are brave enough to share their bad writing with the rest of us. My first drafts are pretty ugly too.
Over the last two weeks, for example, I've been obsessed with a single paragraph in the book I'm writing. My first two or three attempts produced nothing but a sham of a paragraph, an embarrassment, a paragraph in name only. But it had the germ of a really good idea in it. It took six or seven attempts to create a single, 345-word paragraph that I felt good about, that didn't make me recoil in shame.
It goes without saying that paying that much attention to detail slowed me down a lot -- this month, while everyone on NaNoWriMo was zipping past the 10,000- and 25,000-word barrier, my book project advanced by a mere 8,000.
By the measure of NaNoWriMo, I'm not a "winner." On the other hand, even reaching the goal of 50,000 words isn't really what NaNoWriMo is all about. That much is clear from reading discussions on what people learned about writing from NaNoWriMo.
"I learned that forcing myself to write when I don't think I have any ideas is a good way to come up with ideas," a writer from Westminster said in a post on the NaNoWriMo forum "What Has NaNoWriMo Helped You Learn?"
Truer words have never been spoken, Westminster writer. Indeed, many of the lessons learned by NaNoWriMo writers sound like the lessons I've learned over the course of 25 years working as a professional.
"I ... learned that writing something that turns out terrible on the first draft doesn't mean that that's how all of the drafts will be," said another writer who didn't give his or her location. "I learned that I can do more than I think I can -- it just takes time and effort."
Couldn't have said it better myself.
"... I am very proud of myself," said a writer in the Philippines. "I finished my novel before I turned 14, which was my goal since the very beginning. And now that NaNo is finished, I get to read again!"
A novel at 14! Wow! I couldn't finish a two-page term paper when I was 14.
"I learned that life gets in the way of what you want to achieve," wrote a NaNoWriMo participant from Adelaide, Australia, who stopped at 18,000 words. "Around day 5, my family started arguing with each other and I had no time to write and when I did exile myself to my room, I was crying. (Not exactly the best mood for writing.)"
Yeah, life intrudes. It happens to all of us.
"I have learned that when you get stuck, even the most [ridiculous] idea might just get you out of it," said a writer from Suffolk, England. "I have also learned, if in doubt, put in a death and some love and all in your novel will come out good."
Good strategy, Suffolk writer. It worked wonders for Shakespeare too.

The following is a report compiled by some of the riders in Belgium and sent by Richard Wooles
We finally made it to Oudenaarde, Belgium. After a very long travel day. Planes, trains, bus and bikes. Boris, Jacob, Ben, Kevin, Jeremy and I stumbled into the chain stay cycling hostel to meet Greg and Holly, owners of the chain stay after being up for more than 30 hours.
We are all very tired but excited to have made it in one piece with all of our luggage. We are all looking forward to racing later this week and really pumped to be here. Thanks again to everyone for making this happen - Craig Logan
Day 1 - Today we got our first taste of Belgian cobbles, crosswinds, and cafés! Still a little jet lagged, the guys were up between 6 am and 8 am this morning, piecing together the bikes in preparation for our first ride. We got out on the bikes and rode out and back on the local canal for a couple hours.
After spinning out the stiff legs from previous day of traveling , we topped off our first European cycling experience by hitting the centre of town and sitting down for espressos at a local café. At the café we bumped into a group of motorcycle riders testing sport bikes for a magazine and traded our road bikes for their 800cc sport bikes.
Though they refused to make this a permanent trade, everyone got a good laugh out of seeing 6 grown men in full leathers standing over our road bikes, while we sat fully kitted up on their sport bikes.
We finished off the day with a trip to the grocery store, and finely crafted dinner for all courtesy of Craig and myself. Overall first impressions of the town, area, and place we're staying are very good and all the guys are excited for the rest of the trip! - Boris Martin
Day 2 - Today we rode into Geraldsbergen, a town South-East of Oudenaarde. We rode through narrow meandering and twisty roads with some cobblestones, the kind we will be racing on which are definitely not seen at home. We needed to get used to it before we hit it at over 50km/h.
We rode up the Muur of Geraldsbergen, the decisive climb in the Tour of Flanders, which was our first taste at a cobblestone climb. It was totally new to us and were shocked at how much more power it takes to ride up cobbles.
After riding the top section multiple times, we descended back into town with rattled hands where we stopped at a local euro bikeshop. Some of us grabbed some euro cycling caps to fit right in and we were on our way. After riding to a little café, and back through town we ended up in Oudenaarde where we got back home and cleaned up. Thanks - Kevin Thorpe

Cameron Peck, 17, of Olympia, Wash., and Victoria Tanco, 14, of Bradenton, Fla., were named the Rolex Junior Players of the Year by the American Junior Golf Association Monday.
Introduced by the AJGA in 1978, the Rolex Junior Player of the Year award recognizes one boy and one girl who had the most outstanding year in junior golf events at the national level. Past recipients have gone on to become some of the most esteemed players on the PGA and LPGA Tours, including Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Charles Howell III, Hunter Mahan, Grace Park, Cristie Kerr, Paula Creamer and Morgan Pressel.
Both ended the season ranked No. 1 in the Polo Golf Rankings, helping them earn this distinction and secure spots on their respective Rolex Junior All-America First Teams.
Peck's year was highlighted by four victories, including two wins at AJGA Invitationals and the U.S. Junior Amateur. Peck is the first player from the Pacific Northwest, boy or girl, to win this award, which is being bestowed in 2008 for the 31st time. The Timberline High School senior has verbally committed to Texas A&M University.
Tanco ascended to the top of the junior golf ranks in her first year of playing junior golf in the United States. From Buenos Aires, Argentina, Tanco had three national victories, two of which came at AJGA Invitationals. Tanco now becomes the second-youngest girl to win Rolex Junior Player of the Year honors. LPGA Tour standout In-Bee Park was five months younger than Tanco when she was presented the award at 14 years old in 2002.
Their accomplishments during the past season will be heralded Nov. 23 during the Rolex Junior All-America Awards Banquet held at Ginn Reunion Resort. The awards ceremony, dubbed "The Greatest Night in Junior Golf," will also trumpet the achievements of the rest of golf's next generation by means of the Rolex Junior All-America Teams, HP Scholastic Junior All-America Teams and Jerry Cole Sportsmanship Award.
About Peck's Season...
Peck notched the first win of his AJGA career at the Wellstone Communities Junior at Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas, in April. His 72-70-72–214 tournament total gave him a two-stroke victory over the 45-player field.
In June he made a strong statement by winning the AJGA's FootJoy Invitational in Greensboro, N.C., in dominant fashion, posting a 66-71-68-66–271 tournament total. This win came at Sedgefield Country Club, home of the PGA TOUR's Wyndham Championship, against 99 of the best boys in the world. This six-stroke win earned him a sponsor's exemption into the Wyndham Championship in August, where he shot 71-71 and missed the cut by seven strokes.
Win No. 3 came at the HP Boys Junior Championship staged at Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Club & Lodge in July. At another boys-only AJGA Invitational, Peck came out on top by improving his score during each round and finishing with a 73-72-70-69–284 tournament total, good enough to win by one.
He would solidify his place as junior golf's top player at the U.S. Junior Amateur one week later. After advancing from the stroke play qualifying portion of the event as the No. 3 seed at Shoal Creek Golf Course in Birmingham, Ala., Peck marched through match play and defeated fellow first-team Rolex Junior All-American Evan Beck of Virginia Beach, Va., 10 & 8 in the 36-hole final.
At season's end, Peck's four victories and four additional top-11 finishes separated him as junior golf's top boy in 2008.
About Tanco's Season...
After a tie for third at the Orange Bowl International Golf Championship this past December and a win at the Scott Robertson Memorial in May, Tanco qualified for the Rolex Girls Junior Championship, her first-ever AJGA event, and prevailed over the top 98 other junior girls in the world. Tanco posted a 68-70-72–210 tournament total at Carmel Country Club in Charlotte, N.C., and was vaulted toward the top of the Polo Golf Rankings.
She continued her strong play throughout the summer by tying for 17th at the Rolex Tournament of Champions, tying for 11th at the McDonald's Betsy Rawls Girls Championship, advancing to the quarterfinals of the U.S. Girls' Junior Championship, qualifying for the U.S. Women's Open and competing on the Canon Cup East Team.
It wasn't until a few weeks ago that Tanco claimed the No. 1 ranking. This came with a season-ending win at the AJGA's PING Invitational at Karsten Creek Golf Club in Stillwater, Okla. Her 79-72-73–224 performance gave her three victories, including two AJGA Invitationals. She became the only player in the Girls Division to boast such an accomplishment in 2008.
Since moving to the United States, she has yet to finish outside the top 20 in seven starts.
This Rolex Junior Player of the Year Award would not be possible without the support of Rolex, the AJGA's Premier Partner and supporter of the Association since 1983.
Along with the sponsorship of the Rolex Junior Players of the Year, Rolex Junior All-America Teams and Rolex Junior All-America Awards Banquet, the distinguished timepiece manufacturer also continues to support two of the AJGA's most competitive major championships: the Rolex Tournament of Champions and the Rolex Girls Junior Championship.
Rolex is also the Founding Corporate Partner of the Achieving Competitive Excellence Grant. The ACE Grant is designed to give top-flight junior golfers the ability to play a national junior golf schedule regardless of their financial resources. In 2007, with the help of Rolex and various individual donors, nearly 80 junior golfers were able to compete in events they otherwise could not afford.

A blueprint for high-volume, high-quality lung cancer screening that is detecting cancer earlier—and helping to save lives
Purpose: To compare the clinical benefit and cost-effectiveness of utilizing continuous subcutaneous terbutaline versus oral tocolytics following recurrent preterm labor.
Design: Retrospective, 1:1 matched cohort.
Methodology: From prospectively collected data in a nationwide, perinatal database of women receiving outpatient services, we identified singleton gestations having recurrent preterm labor, stabilized during hospitalization, and subsequently treated with oral tocolytics (PO group) or continuous subcutaneous terbutaline infusion (SQ group). Those without medically indicated delivery were eligible for inclusion. Each woman in the PO group was matched 1:1 by gestational age at recurrent preterm labor to a woman in the SQ group. A standardized cost model was applied to compare total antepartum hospital, nursery, and outpatient charges. Wilcoxon Signed Rank, paired t, and McNemar's c2 test statistics were used for comparisons.
Principal findings: 558 women were studied (279 per group). The PO group had less gestational gain following recurrent preterm labor than the SQ group (28.4±19.8 days vs. 33.9±19.0 days, respectively, P<.001). The SQ group had less per patient charges ($) for antepartum hospitalization (3,986±6,895 vs. 5,495±7,131, P=.009), and nursery (7,143±20,048 vs. 15,050±32,648, P<.001). Outpatient charges were less for the PO group (1,390±1,152 vs. 5,520±3,292, P<.001). Overall costs for those in the SQ group were $5,286 less per pregnancy compared to the PO group.

Another old black and white photo - on the farm in Iowa where I grew up. My black and white coat, is was obviously chilly - perhaps 1951. Note in upper left corner, the "family room" has already been added to the house. I got my slide camera in 1952. I'd have been in seventh grade here, most likely, about 13 years old. Concrete in the wheel barrow - Dad would scoop it out and place it. Think next week has another photo of this operation. Outside the barn - looks like it does need some help! ;-)
Families are Forever! ;-)

2013 Progress Report – Executive Summary
Vision: Engineering Cells as Next Generation Therapeutic Agents
Our overall translational goal is to apply the synthetic biology approaches that our center has developed to improve cancer therapy. Our focus is applying cellular engineering methods to improve cancer-directed adoptive immunotherapy. T cells can be modified to attack tumor cells by expressing artificial chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) directed against tumor associated antigens. These cell-based therapies, although in clinical trials, are still far from ideal with respect to on- vs. off-target effects and also in the ability to control designed responses. We are using synthetic biology approaches to engineer the signaling pathways of native T cell responses and in CAR-expressing T cells, in order to tune and optimize their response behaviors (reducing basal signaling, increasing threshold of activation, improved in vivo localization/persistence, engineering pharmacological gating of responses, etc.), such that they show improved control, discrimination and activity against cancer vs. non-cancer cells. In the long term, we envision that the tools we develop to engineer T cell signaling will have utility across various therapeutic applications of adoptive immunotherapy and cell therapy, beyond cancer applications.
Current Progress:
Primary experimental focus:
We have focused on achieving greater tumor targeting specificity and control of the T cell activation response for adoptive immunotherapy; apply synthetic signaling design concepts to in vitro testing systems and translate to in vivo animal models where cell tracking and potential therapeutic T cell responses toward tumors can be gauged.

Spot of luck let me off hook in Braga – Rooney
Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney admitted luck played a significant part as he bounced back from his penalty miss against Arsenal by converting one in Braga.
Rooney has a mixed record with spot-kicks and became the fourth United player to miss one this season when he struck wide in United's 2-1 Premier League victory over the Gunners at Old Trafford on Saturday.
But that did not deter him from stepping up four days later when the Red Devils were awarded another one with five minutes remaining in their Champions League Group H clash at the Estadio AXA.
After substitute Robin van Persie's 80th-minute effort had cancelled out Alan's opener -- also a penalty, four minutes into the second half -- it was an opportunity to put United in front for the first time and Rooney, who had earned the spot-kick when Nuno Coelho was adjudged to have fouled him, made the most of it by beating goalkeeper Beto with a firm shot.
The 27-year-old appeared to skid a little on the wet surface as he fired the ball in and he conceded afterwards that he had been "a bit fortunate".
Asked if he had had any doubts about taking the penalty, Rooney said: "No, not at all. Obviously I was disappointed at the weekend, not only to miss but to miss the target.
"I said after the game it wasn't good enough and (against Braga) I was a bit fortunate; I slipped but thankfully it's gone in so I'm happy with that.
"It happened so quick, but obviously I've seen it going towards the goal and the keeper going the other way. I was happy with it going in but obviously I've been quite lucky with that."
With Javier Hernandez adding a close-range finish in stoppage-time, United went on to complete a 3-1 victory that was their fourth win in four Group H fixtures and guarantees them top spot and a place in the last 16.
It was just the latest in a host of come-from-behind wins for United this season that had certainly not looked on the cards for most of the contest in Portugal, which they had struggled to really get going in and was halted for around 15 minutes, not long after Alan's goal, by some of the floodlights going out in a power cut -- seemingly to the visitors' benefit.
"I think we can play better football -- at times it was too slow but the result is the most important thing," Rooney said. "I think we had quite a bit of possession, we just needed a bit more movement and speed to our play, and thankfully in the last 10 or 15 minutes, when it mattered, we got them."
Veteran United midfielder Ryan Giggs, who came into the starting XI as one of six changes from the Arsenal game, felt the introduction of Van Persie shortly after the resumption of play following the power cut was crucial.
The striker subsequently netted his 11th goal of the season, guiding the ball over the stranded Beto from outside the box when the keeper rushed out too soon, and Giggs can see why some of his team-mates have been drawing comparisons between Van Persie and his fellow Dutchman, the former United frontman Ruud van Nistelrooy.
"It wasn't until after we went 1-0 down -- probably when Robin came on -- that we started to play a little bit better," Giggs (38) said.
"His confidence is just sky high at the moment. I read last week a lot of the players think he's similar to Ruud in the respect Ruud used to get a chance and more often than not he'd put it away.
"That's the case with Robin at the minute; his confidence is high, we're creating chances for him and he's putting them away."
With a maximum 12 points, United -- who also currently lead the Premier League -- are eight points clear of Galatasaray and Cluj in Group H, and nine in front of Braga, with two rounds of group games to go.
