"Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" is an example of what happens when an author's fluent literary conceits give way to the sight of all-too-human people moving and talking in the real-world spaces of a movie. Jonathan Safran Foer's 2005 novel is about a nine-year-old boy, Oskar Schell, who has lost his father, Thomas, in a collapsing tower on September 11, 2001. A year later, rummaging through Thomas's things, Oskar finds an envelope containing a key, which he assumes will unlock a box or something that will reveal a new aspect of his father to him. The word "Black" is written on the envelope, so Oskar runs all over New York looking for people with that name. The pursuit is a way of holding on to his father, of keeping the lines of communication open, of refusing to close the door. The boy's voice, as Foer creates it, is a babbling brook of hopes and questions and bits of information on every imaginable subject. In the novel, we can enjoy all of this heroic spieling and exploring as a form of antic play. It never occurs to us that an actual little boy, however bright, however maddened by grief, could talk this way. Oskar's voice is a writer's virtuoso construction, and Foer combines it with the voice of Oskar's grandfather, photographs of falling bodies, odd dialogues, lists of numbers, garbled paragraphs, nearly blank pages, and many other typographical adventures. The novel is a kind of postmodernist collage stained with tears.
In the movie, which was written by Eric Roth and directed by Stephen Daldry, Oskar (Thomas Horn) is eleven and fully there, front and center on the street, a skinny kid with floppy brown hair and blue eyes. Both hyperactive and secretive, he is irritated by his living mom (Sandra Bullock) and in love with his deceased dad (Tom Hanks, seen generously in flashback). Oskar feverishly roams the Upper West Side, where he lives, and every other part of the city, barging in on people with his strange story about a key and possible discovery about his father's nature. He's a bundle of anxieties—or so he says. (To us, he seems extraordinarily confident.) As he rushes across a bridge, or through the streets, he shakes a tambourine to ward off terror, which is funny and touching exactly once. The people whose lives he intrudes upon treat him with great kindness, including a woman (Viola Davis) whose husband (Jeffrey Wright) is leaving her even as the boy is rattling on in her face. These visits are rather shapeless dramatically, but they have to be, since there's no way that people can respond to something that doesn't make much sense. Thomas and Oskar played games together, so Oskar may have thought that the key had some special significance. A moment's reflection would have suggested to him that this was unlikely, but he's the sort of kid who has every kind of sense except common sense, and, anyway, he needs a heroic quest to keep himself from falling apart. Oskar is acting out his grief.
What Foer was getting at in his novel, I think, was the pathos of over-cerebration, the endless, self-feeding excitement of a terrific mind that can't stop spinning. Much of what Oskar says in the book is amusingly beside the point. Onscreen, however, the sound of a hyper-articulate boy talking semi-nonsense becomes very hard to take. Young Thomas Horn rips through the part; verbally, he's very adroit. Yet photographic and psychological realism destroy Oskar as a character. We can't help noticing, for instance, that he's unconscionably selfish in his relations with others, that only his own grief is real to him. He scorns his mother, hiding from her the answering machine on which Thomas, trapped in the tower, left his increasingly fearful last messages. There's a reason that Oskar hides the machine (replacing it with another), but we don't find out what it is until the end. (Turning so excruciating a plot point into a suspense factor feels rather cheap.) Looking at Oskar, we know that it's unfair to expect an eleven-year-old to have a rounded moral sense, but what are we going to learn from "Extremely Loud"? That the boy has to accept death, like the rest of us? Sorry, but there must be richer ways of dramatizing so obvious a theme. Embodied, Oskar is a pain. After a while, we find ourselves thinking not of grief but of entitled kids who have been praised for every bright remark they've ever made.
As the mother, who loves her son, Sandra Bullock gives a gentle performance, and Tom Hanks is as ebullient and charming as ever. And what a father! Thomas Schell must be the greatest dad in history. Not only is he there for Oskar all the time; he turns his son's life into a perpetual scavenger hunt. Is he Oskar's fantasy? Lifted off the page, he doesn't seem quite real. Stephen Daldry, who directed "The Hours" and "The Reader," gets compassionate performances from all the actors, even those playing minor roles, and the cinematographer, Chris Menges, molds their faces with caressing, soft-toned light. In these mundane urban settings, there isn't an ugly shot, and Daldry and his editor construct complicated montages in which the film's central scenes are intercut with Oskar's visions of falling bodies. At the craft level, the movie is skillful. Yet whimsy and sentimentality blight whatever is good in it. Oskar's grandmother (Zoe Caldwell) lives across the street; the two of them chat over walkie-talkies. ("Did I wake you up? Over.") A little of that is more than enough. An elderly gent (Max von Sydow), who turns out to be Oskar's mysterious grandfather, shows up and moves in with the grandmother. He hasn't spoken in years, but he communicates with his palms, on one of which is written "Yes" and on the other "No." He writes out longer messages on a pad. A little of that goes a long way, too, though the emotion in von Sydow's heavy, silent face is an enormous relief from Oskar's incessant prattle. When Oskar starts to play the messages on the machine for the old man, he signals the boy to stop—after all, Thomas Schell is his son. He wants the boy to shut up, and, with all the sympathy in the world, the audience may wish the same.

Mt. Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary in Mindanao, Philippines is the only protected forest noted for its unique bonsai field or 'pygmy' forest of 100-year old trees in an ultramafic soil. Mt. Hamiguitan has been found to have five (5) vegetation types and these are the agroecosystem, dipterocarp, montane and typical mossy and the mossy-pygmy forest. This serially nominated property is found to possess high and varied ecosystem with many endangered, endemic and rare species of flora and fauna. One of the endangered bird species located is the majestic Philippine eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi). It has been identified by Conservation International as one of the Philippines 'hotspots' that is included by the Philippines Eagle Alliance as one of the first priority sites in Eastern Mindanao for conservation and protection.
The Philippine eagle is of outstanding universal value for science and conservation, whose nesting and feeding areas are located in dipterocarp forests including closed canopy forests. It is the second largest eagle in the world. The aviator Charles Lindbergh, as representative of the World Wildlife Fund, proclaimed it as "the air's noblest flyer." The Philippine eagle is the nation's symbol and is locally known as "haribon" or bird king. With a wingspan of two meters, this bird of prey boasts the largest surface area in its wings among all eagle species. Like the giant panda of the Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuary, recently inscribed as a World Heritage Site at the 30th Session of the World Heritage Committee in Vilnius last July, the Philippine eagle is a wonder of nature of great charisma. This bird is not found elsewhere in the world and has become the symbol of Philippine conservation efforts. Widespread destruction of its habitat and collection is driving this species to extinction.
The 6,834-hectare total surface area of Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary is characterized by five (5) vegetation types, namely, agro-ecosystem (75-420m asl), dipterocarp (420-920m asl), montane (920-1160m asl), typical mossy (1160-1350m asl) and the mossy-pygmy forest (1160-1200m asl). Each of these forest type harbors endemic, threatened, rare and economically important species of flora and fauna. The mossy-pygmy forest occupies approximately 225 hectares of the sanctuary. Trees have an average height of only 1.4m with a diameter of 8 cm. Two dominant species that can only be found in this forest type are Leptospermum flavescens and Wendlandia nervosa. Other species include Tristaniopsis micrantha, Dacrydium elatum, Calophyllum blancoi, Symplocos polyandra, and Agathis philippinensis (Almaciga) which has the highest average height of only 2.4 m. Madulid (1991) reported that this type of vegetation is associated with ultramafic species, such as, Calophyllum sp. Norman (2004) explained that the stunted growth of trees could be attributed to a high concentration of chromium, iron, nickel and magnesium in soil.
Inventory of flora species in each vegetation type revealed that the montane forest has the highest species richness of plants with 462 species, followed by dipterocarp forest with 338 species. Mossy and agro-system have the lowest species richness value of 246 each. The highest diversity index of trees (1.7) could be observed in the montane forest while a diversity index of 1.273 was observed in the mossy forest. The mossy-pygmy forest has the highest diversity index (1.498) for shrubs, herbs and vines. Assessment of the conservation status of the 477 identified species revealed that 163 species (18.56%) are endemic, 35 species (3.99%) threatened, 33 species (3.75%) rare and 204 species (23.23%) economically important. Eight (8) species, namely, Elaeocarpus verticillatus, Patersonia lowii, Astronia lagunensis, Nepenthes argentii, N. mira, Schizaea inopinata and S. malaccana, have been found to be new record in Mindanao and one species, Nepenthes maxima, as new record in the Philippines. Based on sampling plots, endemicity of trees per vegetation type revealed that as elevation increases, endemic species also increase. This property is therefore found to be very rich in endemism.
The IUCN Red List has identified at least 11 endangered vertebrate species. The Philippine Council for Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources and Development (PCARRD) reported that the mountain is inhabited by five endangered species, 27 rare species, 44 endemic species and 59 economically important species. In July 2004, the Mt. Hamiguitan Range has been declared under Republic Act 9303 as a protected area under the category of wildlife sanctuary. Out of the 14 species of mammals observed in Hamiguitan Range, seven species (50%) were found as Philippine endemic and three species (21.4%) as Mindanao endemic with six threatened species. Two endemic species of mammals in Hamiguitan Range, Acerodon jubatus (Golden-crown Flying Fox) and Tarsius syrichta (Philippine Tarsier) are endangered; three endemic species are vulnerable, Sus philippinensis (Philippine Warty Pig), Cervus mariannus (Philippine Brown Deer), and Haplonycteris fischeri (Philippine Mossy-pygmy Fruit Bat); and one endemic species is threatened, Paradoxurus hermaphroditus (Asian Palm Civet). For birds, a total of fifty-three species were found, of which ten species (18.9%) are Mindanao endemic and 20 species (37.7) are Philippines endemic, respectively with four threatened species. Two endemic species of birds, Phapitreron cinereiceps (Dark-eared brown dove) and Pinelopides panini (Tarictic Hornbill) are endangered; one is near-threatened, Aethopyga primigenius (Grey-hooded sunbird) and one vulnerable, Mimizuku gumeyi (Giant-scoop Owl).
Mount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary belongs to the 15 biogeographic zones in the Philippines considered to have the highest land-based biological diversity in terms of flora and fauna per unit area. This site is therefore nominated for inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List for its outstanding universal significance.
Justification de la Valeur Universelle Exceptionelle
Mount Hamiguitan is highly significant in the Philippines' 7th ranking among the 17 biologically rich countries of the world. The site represents the fast disappearing habitats of globally important species of plants and animals. The diversity of habitats and plant and animal species in this property is attributed to the geologic setting, that is, Mount Hamiguitan is an ultramafic terrain giving rise to an ultramafic forest and associated diverse habitats and flora and fauna. At the national level, this sanctuary is a conservation interest. At a global scale, it is known to be a habitat of globally important species of plants and animals.
Déclarations d'authenticité et/ou d'intégrité
Mount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary located in Davao Oriental, Mindanao is the only protected forest noted for its unique bonsai field or 'pygmy' forest in an ultramafic soil that is a result of the development of rock weathers that has left the soil with an unusually high concentration of iron and magnesium, thereby causing it to be unproductive. This forest type has a substrate predominated by rocks called ultrabasic or surpentines. Mt. Hamiguitan has been found to have five (5) vegetation types and these are the agroecosystem, dipterocarp, montane and typical mossy and the mossy-pygmy forest. In the pygmy forest, only a specialized group of plants grow on this type of forest, those that are often low, heath-like shrubs such as the Nepenthes alata, a facultative species, and obligate ultramatic species of Nepenthes, which has been found to be numerous in the area. It has been declared as a protected area in the Philippines as it is found to possess a varied ecosystem with many endangered, endemic and rare species of flora and fauna. Also endemic in Mt. Hamiguitan is the majestic and Philippine eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi). The Hamiguitan Range has been identified by Conservation International as one of the Philippines 'hotspots' that is included by the Philippines Eagle Alliance as one of the first priority sites in Eastern Mindanao for conservation and protection.
Mt. Hamiguitan is a declared Protected Area under Republic Act 9303 as a Wildlife Sanctuary. The management system is in place and is being managed by the Protected Area Management Board (PAMB) and the Protected Area Wildlife Bureau (PAWB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) of the Philippines. Mt. Hamiguitan presents the highest and richest bio-diversity in terms of flora and fauna per unit area having unique, rare and threatened endemic species of outstanding universal value. Its outstanding value comes from its being a sanctuary, habitat and center of endemism of rare and threatened species.

MP4′s in Moodle…
UPDATE: See update at the bottom
As MP4 seems to have become the default movie format in the last few years it has become more frustrating that moodle doesn't natively support MP4′s!
The multimedia filter in moodle uses JW Viewer as the player for flv's but the most recent version of this player now supports playing MP4′s! So I figured I would have a go at updating the filter to support MP4′s (and M4V's) using the latest version of JW Viewer
Well it turned out to not be that complicated… I haven't done a complete tidy up, but it seems to work as you would expect and means that students don't need to have Quicktime installed on the client machine to play back MP4′s
To install this (very BETA) version of the plugin, simply download the attached file, unzip and upload the folder to replace the /filter/mediaplugin folder. Then click on the "notifications" link to udate the settings…
The just upload the mp4/m4v file to your moodle install and put a link to it (as normal) and it should get replaced with the JW viewer…
Note: If you are using this for comercial purposes then you need to purchase a license from Longtail Video
Please let me know if it works for you!
UPDATE: It occoured to me that rather than hacking the core multimedia fiter it might work better if I just wrote a new filter just to deal with MP4/M4V files so that this would continue to work through upgrades etc… So attached below is the all new (beta!) MP4 Filter
Download the original Mutimedia Filter <- May be useful if you downloaded my original attempt!
To install just download and extract the mp4filter folder and copy it to the filter folder, then make sure you remember to activate the filter!!

- In Defense Spending Battle, Lawmakers Seek Funds for Top Donors April 27, 2009 5:26 PM
Members of both the House and Senate defense appropriations subcommittees are slated to meet as early as this week to mark up the $83.4 billion supplemental request from the Obama administration. In preparation, some lawmakers have already been lobbying their colleagues to support requests that will benefit defense contractors in their home states--companies that also help fill the campaign coffers of many members of Congress.
- Congressmen Overseeing Defense Budget Got $8 Million from PMA Group and ClientsMarch 2, 2009 5:00 PM
The FBI hasn't been the only group continuing to investigate lobbying firm PMA Group, which specializes in securing federal earmarks for its clients. At the Center for Responsive Politics, we've expanded our original analysis of contributions from the lobbying firm to lawmakers, specifically those on the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, to include contributions from PMA's clients, as well.
- Embattled Lobbying Firm PMA Targeted Members of Defense CommitteesFebruary 12, 2009 1:55 PM
The close ties between Rep. John Murtha and a Washington lobbying firm raided by the FBI have put the powerful Pennsylvania Democrat under greater scrutiny. The lobbyists at PMA Group have been Murtha's fifth most generous campaign donor over time, but he is just one of 284 members of the 111th Congress who have collected money from the firm, which specializes in securing federal earmarks for its clients. In total, PMA Group's employees and its political action committee have given current members of Congress $3.4 million since 1989.

I know i have support from my parents and my friends, but my boyfriend does not seem interest in going with me to my appointments. He is always wanting to go to his friends house to play videos games. Don't get me wrong I like playing video games too, but i'm pregnant, and i feel like he is choosing his friends over my baby and me. =( I tell him that I want him to go and today was one of my appointments. Yesterday he said that he was goin to go but by the end of the school day today he changed his mind about going with me. It gotmy sad to think that he would rather go out to be with his friends than to spend time with his girlfriend and his baby.......................... I don't know what to do about this............ this is the third time that he makes me think that he is goin to go wit me and at the last minute he does not want to go...... If anyone has any idea on how i should come about this situation (problem) please tell me................
This is a hard one. You can't force him to be involved, unfortunately! I am so glad that you have the support of your parents to help you with all the changes that are going to come. The best you can do is just let him know why it is important to be involved and what he is missing when he doesn't come to the appointments. I hope he comes around soon.
thanks for your advise. i sure do hope he comes arounds........... and i will try to let him know how important it is for him to be involved^_^

A bright idea: Can mindfulness training curb winter blues?By Kevin OConnor
STAFF WRITER | December 30,2012Jeb Wallace-Brodeur / Staff Photo
Dr. Arnie Kozak, a Burlington-based psychologist, is teaching the public about winter blues through classes at his Exquisite Mind Studio.Many of the estimated 10 percent of Vermonters who suffer from seasonal depression try to beat the winter blues with sunshine or full-spectrum light bulbs.
They havent met Dr. Arnie Kozak. He wants to turn them on to an even brighter idea.
The Burlington-based psychologist has served as one of three lead therapists on a groundbreaking University of Vermont study investigating the effectiveness of trading negative thoughts for a more positive mindset to improve a persons mental and physical well-being.
Experts commonly treat seasonal affective disorder (SAD) by exposing patients to more light. But Kozak working under UVM associate professor Kelly Rohan, one of the nations foremost researchers of SAD has offered cognitive behavioral therapy to discover whether changing ones attitudes and actions can ease winter sluggishness, sadness and craving for comfort foods.
Rohans unprecedented research, funded by a $2 million grant from the National Institute of Mental Health, is finding that lightening ones attitude is just as effective as special bulbs and ultimately more helpful for preventing future bouts. Thats why, after helping with the study the past three winters, Kozak is sharing its mindfulness concepts in public classes.
Cognitive behavioral therapy skills are portable, Kozak says. You can carry them for the rest of your life and you dont need to sit in front of an expensive light box every day.
Kozak has focused on the mind since 1985, when he took vows from the Dalai Lama in Bodhgaya, India. Practicing meditation and yoga, hes now a clinical assistant professor of psychiatry at UVMs College of Medicine and a lecturer at its College of Nursing and Health Sciences. Such teaching allowed him to meet Rohan, a clinical psychologist who has built a career studying ways to melt the winter blues.
SAD is a depression believed linked to a lack of sunlight and its effect on the part of the brain that controls ones sleep, mood and motivation. As days grow darker in the fall and winter, people can feel sad, worthless or unfocused, lose energy and enthusiasm and face shifts in their sleeping or eating patterns, often craving carbohydrates.
After three previous studies found promise with cognitive behavioral therapy, Rohan began UVMs now concluding five-year study. Volunteers have traveled to Burlington for six weeks of free treatment. Some have sat 18 inches in front of full-spectrum bulbs (screened of ultraviolet rays) each morning for at least 30 minutes. Others have talked regularly with therapists.
As part of the UVM study, Kozak gathered groups twice a week for a dozen 1½-hour sessions based on Rohans Coping with the Seasons treatment guidelines.
What we think and do can make a difference in how we feel, Kozak says. The aim is to make us more aware of our thoughts and behaviors and then to try to shift them.
Wake on a cold, dark day and you may just want to hibernate.
People tend to do less or cycle or shut down, Kozak says. We engage in a process of monitoring, identifying and challenging those thoughts and behaviors. Attention and awareness can give you options.
This isnt ducking or denying.
Were not trying to paper over anything or act like Pollyanna. Its training to be more skillful with thoughts and actions. While we cant change winter, we can change our relationship to it.
So instead of surrendering under the covers, one can choose to get up, get out and embrace healthier alternatives such as regular exercise and a diet high in protein and low in carbohydrates.
Rohan has yet to finalize the studys findings. But researchers can confirm that people treated with cognitive behavioral therapy coped better over time than those simply given more light.
Dr. Norman Rosenthal, the man who coined the term SAD and literally wrote the book on it (Winter Blues: Everything You Need to Know to Beat Seasonal Affective Disorder) notes Rohans efforts in his paperbacks latest revision: Preliminary results are so encouraging that they are definitely worth a good look, especially since they lead to specific steps that people with SAD can take to alleviate their suffering.
Thats good news for the 10 percent of Vermonters who experience full seasonal depression and another 20 percent who face lesser symptoms. And thats why Kozak now finishing a third book of his own, Mindfulness A to Z: 108 Insights for Awakening Now, for national publication next year is about to start teaching public courses on winter blues as detailed on his website, exquisitemind.com.
People want a quick fix they want a pill, they want a light box, Kozak says. We try to revise our thoughts. Thats a skill you can take home and use in relationships, work, all aspects of your life.

S-Class Sedan
It's not just our flagship. It's the industry's.
Starting at: $92,900*MSRPWatch the Video
The 577-hp S63 AMG 4MATIC.
Absolute power.
Toned, but not an ounce of bulk.
The unmistakable presence of the new S-Class is engineered to deliver abundance without excess. It's stronger yet lighter, elevating safety and silence. It's more majestic than ever, yet sleek and athletic. And while its clean lines slip through the wind, elegant details like all-LED lighting and minimized seams catch every admiring eye.
Enlightened, without a single lightbulb.
Intricate, intimate and impeccable, the S-Class cabin is a celebration of time-honored handcraftsmanship. Virtually every surface is richly upholstered, swathed in sweeping spans of wood, or accented in genuine aluminum. Along with an extensive palette of trim options, nearly 300 LEDs let you set the cabin aglow in any of seven variable hues.
Refreshing, in fresh new ways.
Every element of S-Class comfort has been enriched, enhanced and expanded. Armrests and doors can be heated. Seats can offer not just a massage but a "hot stone" spa effect. Rear seats come in four configurations, some with power footrests and legrests. And the cabin air can be double-filtered, ionized and even infused by an innovative aromatherapy system.
Fine-tunes itself, in the moment.
With increased power and torque, the 449-hp biturbo V-8 of the S550 can turn 4.8 seconds into 60 mph. Even more impressive is what it can do with a mere millisecond: By precisely adapting its fuel and spark while combustion is still occurring, every beat of its virtual heart turns less gasoline into more power with fewer emissions left over.
Stated rates of acceleration are estimated based upon manufacturer's track results and may vary depending on model, environmental and road surface conditions, driving style, elevation and vehicle load.
Handles bumps, before they reach you.
No matter which S-Class suspension you choose, each offers a choice of modes and the stable comfort of adaptive damping and automatic leveling. The standard AIRMATIC® is now lighter and quicker to respond. And the first-ever camera-assisted MAGIC BODY CONTROL® is beyond quick: It actually sees bumps ahead and acts to quell them in real time.
Helps you get grip, when wheels want to slip.
Optional on the S550, 4MATIC® permanent all-wheel drive integrates our 4-wheel Electronic Traction System. 4-ETS continually sends the engine's torque to the wheels that can put it to the best use. Lightweight, nimble and fuel-efficient, 4MATIC enhances handling and performance in winter, in the wet, or on winding roads.
Introduction dates vary. See your dealer. No system, regardless of how advanced, can overcome the laws of physics or correct careless driving. Please always wear your seat belt. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Best performance in snow is obtained with winter tires.
Turns the power up, then puts it down.
The new S63 AMG 4MATIC was developed with a simple goal: Absolute performance. A new 4MATIC system developed by AMG helps turn 577 handcrafted horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque into a 3.9-second 0-60 rush. Yet it preserves the exceptional balance and agility for which even the largest AMG sedans have long been coveted by passionate drivers.
Responds to danger, before you're in it.
For decades, the S-Class has predicted the safety standards of the future. The new S-Class literally looks ahead, and 360 degrees around, to spot hazards in your path. A team of standard and optional systems can alert the driver, assist in braking, and even respond autonomously to help avoid collisions with other vehicles and even pedestrians.
Beyond artificial intelligence, genuine smarts.
Dual 12.3-inch high-resolution screens combine the classic clarity of analog-style instruments with realistically animated displays of driving systems, vehicle settings, entertainment and navigation. Thanks to the enhanced COMAND® system and intuitive central controller with a touch-sensitive keypad, even the most innovative features of the S-Class work like second nature.
Music from anywhere, surrounds you from everywhere.
From standard SiriusXM and global Internet radio to multiple ways to bring your own soundtrack, the S-Class offers nearly limitless listening choices. Two sound systems by Burmester®, one of the most revered names in high-end home audio, offer a choice of lush surround sound or a new 3-D system that sets a new standard in audiophile quality.

JUSTIN LEONARD/DELOITTE JUNIOR TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPNorthwood ClubDallas, TexasJune 28 July 1, 2004
OSBORNE & HOLLAND CARD 7-UNDER 64 TO CARRY LEAD INTO FINAL ROUNDBarton & Burlison hold seven-stroke lead in the Girls Division
DALLAS One bogey-free round is an amazing feat. Two bogey-free rounds are rare; especially when they are back-to-back. Charlie Holland of Dallas, and Will Osborne of Wichita Falls, Texas, have managed to do just that after two rounds at the Justin Leonard/Deloitte Junior Team Championship. Dallas-native Lila Barton and Sydney Burlison of Salinas, Calif., posted a 3-under-par 68 to finish the second round with a seven-stroke lead.
Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the Justin Leonard/Deloitte Junior Team Championship is being held at Northwood Club in Dallas, the site of the 1952 U.S. Open. The 54-hole event features 72 players from 11 states and Mexico, including 48 players from Texas.The players competed in a four-ball format, under which each player plays his/her own ball throughout the hole. Upon completion of the hole, the team then takes the best ball of the two scores.Osborne and Holland, winners of the 2003 Justin Leonard/Deloitte Junior Team Championship, took advantage of their experience as a tandem to put together a bogey-free round for the second day in a row.Charlie was playing really well today, said Osborne. He had six birdies and was putting really well.The team recorded birdies on Nos. 1, 2, 6, 9, 11, 14 and 15 to finish with a 7-under-par 64 in the round. Combined with their 65 in the first round, the duo finished the day with a three-stroke lead in the Boys Division.Tomorrow we are going to have to hit some fairways - weve got to keep the ball in play, said Holland. Its going to be tough tomorrow with alternate shot, said Osborne. But we can find a way, Holland chimed in.Coming in behind Holland & Osborne with a 10-under-par 132 were Garrett Merrell and Paul Haley, both of Dallas. Merrell & Haley also carded a bogey-free 7-under-par 64 in the second round.Rounding out the top five in the Boys Division were Jon McLean of Weston, Fla., and Tom Miles of Dublin, Ohio; Kevin Schultz of Richardson, Texas, and Trent Leon of Dallas; and Christopher Ward of McKinney, Texas, and Jordan Cox of Redwood City, Calif., all finishing the second round at 8-under-par 134.In the Girls Division, the team of Barton and Burlison carded a 3-under-par 68 in the second round to extend their lead to seven strokes.We played our own game today, said Burlison. We played as if we were playing against each other so that we would not put any pressure on each other. The pair had only one bogey during the round while carding four birdies.We get along really well and we have really similar games, said Barton. Tomorrow we are going to try to hit the best shots that we can and go out and make a lot of pars.Our plan is to play consistent in the final round and try not to leave each other hanging after a shot, Burlison said. Trailing Barton and Burlison are Katy Barrett of Las Vegas, and Brooke Todare of Paradise Valley, Ariz., with a 2-over-par 144. The team of Lindsay Cullen of Allen, Texas, and Alexandrea Schulte of Broken Arrow, Okla., along with Sarah and Andrea Zwartynski of Allen, Texas, are currently tied for third with 3-over-par 145s.

Umpires tend to position themselves over the inside part of the plate… putting them at a disadvantage when calling outside pitches. We witness the same effect when it comes to the height of the pitch: the farther away from the ump's eye, the more likely he will make a call that is inconsistent with that of the Pitch F/X system.
While the off-speed zone is clearly larger than the fastball zone, it is also higher. So while off-speed pitches are gaining more favor in the top third of the zone, they lose favor in the bottom third (which sees over 50% more pitches).
Right-handed batters are significantly advantaged in terms of the strike zone. Take a look at how much the zone shrinks when a righty comes to the plate.

A site member brings us the first photos of a completely revealed silverstone F10 M5. So far, the M5 has only been shown in production form in the Monte Carlo Blue color.
The german language catalogue for the new M5 was made available shortly after the internet launch of the M5, and now here is the English language version we are hosting for download. This catalog has all the info you want coupled with beautiful imagery of the M5.
Hi All,
Here is an interesting video around the engine of the F10, describing the main differences and improvements over the X5/X6M engine.
And another one about the M5 brakes
Your very first drive of the 2012 BMW M5 (F10) can now be virtual. The console game Forza Motorsport 4 has launched and will feature the all new F10 M5 on its cover! The very first screenshots from the game are posted inside.
Buyers of the Limited Collector's Edition get an extra 25 cars from various exclusive car packs, including the 2012 BMW M5. But not only will the new M5 be featured on the cover of Forza 4, but also available as part of the "BMW M5 Fan Pack," available starting at launch to all Forza 4 owners who download it from Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
The BMW F10 M5 will be fully enabled with Foza 4′s newly-trademarked Autovista mode, with "Top Gear's" Jeremy Clarkson giving the car … CONTINUED
Featured below is the first commercial promo video for the F10 M5. The only previous other video of the production M5 was the launch video from BMW. The spot focuses on the versatility of the F10 M5 – from urban duties to mountain carver. Check it out.
We've covered the M3 CRT reveal at the M Night event, and now for the F10 M5, which was the second vehicle to make its appearance at M Night. Appearing in the beautiful monte carlo blue color that we've seen in the M5′s marketing materials, BMW's new super sedan was certainly more beautiful in person than in online print (as usual). Its color was actually more vibrant and even more impressive in person. It even shows in the photos we took.
Here is a little preview of what they will show at tonight's M Night from the M Festival at the Nurburgring, where there the 2012 BMW F10 M5 will make its public debut, along with the M3 lightweight sedan. This is the first fully uncovered production level 2012 M5 spotted on the roads. Follow our site along today and throughout the weekend for our entire coverage of the M Festival!
What most folks have not realized so far are the extensive modifications BMW has made to the F10 M5 engine. We point those out for you below, referencing BMW's released info. Compared to the S85 engine of the E60 M5, BMW claims that "VALVETRONIC has also sharpened the responsiveness of this engine [S63Tü].
Here are the highlights of the new M5′s S63Tu engine and how it's different from the S63 engine used for the X5 M and X6 M.
Two more innovations of the S63Tü:
- Innovative solenoid valve injectors in the new BMW M5 engine use multiple injections to achieve an extremely precise mixture preparation.
This is the biggest difference. As BMW puts it:
"Throughout each of its four previous generations, the heart of the BMW M5 has … CONTINUED
The new 2012 BMW M5 will be priced at EUR 102,700 in Germany. For comparison, the last price for the E60 M5 (Sep 2010) was EUR 94,700 which means a price increase of roughly 8.5%.
Earlier this week, BMW announced the price for the UK at £73,040 for UK buyers. The last UK price for the E60 M5 was £67,300 which also tranlsates to a price increase of 8.5%.
Applying the same increase of 8.5% to the last US price (2010 M5) of $85,700, the new BMW M5 would be priced at $93,000 for the US.
The German price list also gives away some more details. To answer a common question — the M5′s metallic blue brake calipers are standard equipment. In other word, you'll always get the blue … CONTINUED

February 28, 2012
The flu season is making a late arrival to Virginia.
State public health officials say the February start of the flu season is possibly the latest in a quarter-century. On the plus side, the seasonal flu vaccine remains widely available.
The Virginia Department of Health monitors lab reports, hospital emergency rooms and urgent care centers to monitor cases of flu. Within the last two weeks those indicators show an uptick in flu activity in Charlottesville and across the Commonwealth.
"Flu season runs from October to May and we're still very much in the time where we can see the flu," said Elizabeth Davies, an epidemiologist in the Thomas Jefferson Health District.
The state's activity level is now at "regional." That means the flu is active in multiple regions of the state.
For more information on how to find a flu vaccine near you, click here.

Do You Wake Up Productive?
I've always been of the belief that success begins and ends in the mind.
Techniques and systems work, but if the driver is inefficient and ineffective, failure is more likely than success.

Tool Q&A: Using the right chemicals, cleaners and lubricants
Dave Cappert discusses the importance of using the right chemicals, cleaners and lubricants.
This month, we answer questions related to chemicals, cleaners, lubricants and additives. These products—and the right knowledge for using them—can be a real plus in fighting everyday battles in the shop. Since knowledge is power, follow along to stay in front of the challenges that lie ahead.
Q. We repeatedly get complaints from customers about a musty smell from the A/C vents in their cars. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it and the A/C cools just fine. What's up?
A. Vehicles exhibiting this condition have mold growing way down in the deep, dark abyss of the A/C ducts. The problem begins when debris of an organic origin (leaves, bugs, etc.) accumulates and becomes food for mold spores. Moisture and engine heat nurture the mold until it's finally noticed by the sense of smell. Although the problem can occur at any time, it's usually noticed when the A/C is first turned on in the spring. For those with allergies, this problem can be a nightmare. About 15% to 35% of vehicles equipped with air conditioning will become infected, depending on climate, even more so in hot, humid climates. Also, vehicles driven for short periods with the A/C on are more susceptible to getting the problem than those driven for longer periods. While some techs flirt with the use of household disinfectants to kill the mold, the real answer is a special chemical solution from your supplier made for this purpose. You apply it with a special gun to reach into the deep recesses of the air conditioning ducts. Spraying the evaporator core is especially crucial. Allow the solution to soak for a short while and then flush it away with ordinary tap water. This process kills the mold at its source. There are even ultrasonic tools now available for this type of cleaning. Although the frequency of application is based on an as-needed basis, some shops offer the service as part of an annual, air conditioning service package. Although you can't entirely prevent the problem from recurring, you can take a couple of preventive measures to help your customers. First, ensure that the evaporator drain is flowing freely to drain off water and ensure the cabin filter gets changed regularly. Some companies also offer mold inhibitors to deter growth.
Q. When specifying fluids for vehicles, we use owner's manual information or service information stating the recommendation of the manufacturer. Is there any other source we should be aware of?
A. As vehicle and fluid technologies change, fluid requirements and specifications may also change. A new fluid specification may supersede an old one, replacing what was originally required. For the latest recommendations on fluids, make sure to check technical service bulletins as they often contain updated fluid specification information. Don't take this lightly; this may be required to protect an owner's vehicle warranty.
Q. Manufacturers are all over the place with their coolant specifications. Some aftermarket coolants claim universal coverage for all vehicles and that would sure make things easier. Is a universal coolant too good to be true?
A. Without question, it's a literal "alphabet soup" of coolants available today for all the different manufacturers. Rather than making this a debate about selection, perhaps the best answer to coolant selection lies in what's at stake for the owner's vehicle. Manufacturers spend a good deal of money proving out their coolants with their engines and specify a certain type for warranty coverage. To best protect that coverage, follow the manufacturer's recommendation to the letter to ensure warranty protection. Again, this isn't to say that universal coolants are a bad choice; they're just not the factory fill from the car maker. Like any fluid, make sure to check service bulletins to make sure there isn't a revised coolant spec from the original.
Q. When selecting a cleaner for a given application, is there a general rule of thumb to help ensure the right choice?
