text: Reviewer: Chunkblower Review Date: March 29, 2011 Format: Blu-ray Released by: Blue Underground Release date: March 1, 2011 MSRP: $29.98 All Region Progressive Scan Codec: AVC, 1080p Widescreen 1.66 | 16x9: Yes 1971 The breakdown of the studio system and the rise of the free love generation in the 1960s led to a new era of permissiveness on the silver screen. Before porno hit Deep Throat came along in 1972 to shatter taboos and open a large-scale public dialogue about sex in cinema, filmmakers were slowly testing the waters of the acceptable. With each new film it seemed young auteurs were pushing the boundaries, breaking new ground and staking new territory. It was truly one of the greatest and most experimental times in American cinema. In this climate, it's a bit of a surprise that the American release of Daughters of Darkness would have a given the MPAA pause in 1971. While not setting out to do so, Daughters somehow pushed the boundaries of the acceptable too far, at least for American screens; this led to the film being heavily cut. Restored to its original directors cut version it becomes readily apparent that Daughters of Darkness isn't nearly as ground-breaking as some of the genre classics to come out of the period. So why hasn't Daughters of Darkness faded completely into obscurity? The reason it hasn't lost its audience in the intervening years can probably be attributed to a strong sense of style that builds an unsettling atmosphere not easily shaken, and sure handed direction that manages to turn potentially trashy material in visual poetry. The Story Newly married Stefan (John Karlen) and Valerie Chilton (Danielle Ouimet) are newlyweds returning to Stefan's family home in England to announce their recent nuptials. Consummating their marriage on a train bound for port, they're delayed when a train on the line ahead derails in the middle of the night. Rather than waiting for the derailment to be cleared, the couple chooses to disembark and seek lodging at a seaside hotel in nearby Ostend. It being the off-season, the hotel is nearly deserted and the couple manages to procure the Royal Suite. Valerie is anxious to meet Stefan's mother and gain familial approval but Stefan is less enthused about the idea of returning home with his new bride and, in secret, conspires to prolong their stay. This is understandable, considering that Stefan is "kept" by an older man whom he calls "mother." Soon after their arrival, Countess Bathory (Delphine Syerig) arrives at the hotel with her servant Ilona (Andrea Rau). The Concierge (Paul Esser) immediately recognizes the Countess from 40 years ago when he was just a young bellhop. He is shocked and scared that her appearance hasn't changed one bit since, and doesn't buy her attempts to subvert his suspicion. The Countess is not interested in the clerk, however and, immediately upon seeing them, sets her attention on the young couple. Drawing them into after-dinner conversation in the plush hotel lobby, the Countess regales them with stories of her ancestors and their habit of trying to prolong life by drinking the blood of virgins. It's not long before the Countess is mentally seducing Valerie while she orders Ilona takes a more hands on approach to seducing Stefan. Meanwhile, in the nearby town of Brugge, a serial killer is stalking young women, slitting their throats and leaving the bodies completely exsanguinated. A retired police detective (Georges Jamin) takes an unusual interest in the case and his inquires bring him to the hotel, where he hints that he has special knowledge of the Countess and her nocturnal activities. Before long there's a death in the hotel, with the young couple inextricably caught up in it. It's is then that the Countess' true nature is finally revealed to the couple and they meet their ultimate destinies. As you can probably tell, Daughters of Darkness doesn't have much in the way of a plot, just a premise that plays out in very deliberate fashion. The director, Dutchman Harry Kümis, draws the material out to feature length by employing a lot of long takes. A function of the low budget and short shooting schedule, Kümis didn't have the opportunity to shoot a lot of coverage. The result is that often scenes play out entirely in a master shot, with characters moving in and out of the frame, rather than the camera moving to follow the characters. This approach, while unavoidable, could very easy have made the film feel cramped and stage bound. Surprisingly, the lack of cutting between angles really works. The deliberate pace gives the audience the opportunity to drink in the lush visuals and the way Kümis uses color within his static shots gives the film a Kubrick or Polanksi like vibe. It speaks highly of Kümis' skills as a director that he was able to make such a stylish and effective film so quickly (shooting was less than five weeks) and with so many technical limitations imposed on him. Apparently Daughters of Darkness caused a mini sensation when it was first released, with cuts being made to film down to an R-rating. Its shocking imagery hasn't aged well; the film is rather tame by today's standards. Hell, it probably felt pretty tame after just a few years, with grindhouse classic such as Last House on the Left upping the bar for confrontational onscreen content. While there's a lot of nudity and a fair amount of sex, the film trades explicitness for eroticism. Ironically, while the material may have seemed tawdry at the time, it actually plays pretty classy in 2011. The lesbianism is never overt and, until the end, neither is the vampirism. While the film is pretty engaging for most of its running time, there are a few points that could have been polished a bit. The subplot with the retired police detective doesn't contribute anything to the development of the story and its resolution is so anticlimactic and unsatisfying there should have been a title card that read: WRITER'S CONVIENCE flashing across the screen. Similarly, after being introduced, Stefan's "mother" is never heard from again. His scene lends the film a creepy vibe but the audience is left to ponder its significance to the plot or themes beyond its immediate impact. It's probably the film's single greatest shortcoming that Delphine Syerig is extremely underused. Perhaps this is also a result of the low budget but she only has a small handful of scenes and isn't given much to do in them. Mostly she smiles demurely and chews the scenery with a cool detachment. Daughters of Darkness also boasts some of the most ridiculous death scenes this side of a Final Destination movie. The difference is that while Final Destination plays it's over the top kill scenes for grim laughs, Daughters of Darkness expects us to take its ludicrous violence totally straight-faced. Though the material would on paper sound sensational and could easily lend itself to exploitation, the film is actually pretty feminist in its outlook. Valerie is a sweet girl who has (it's assumed impulsively) married a man who is basing their entire relationship on a lie. Always hanging over her is the spectre of what happens when Valerie inevitably learns the truth about Stefan's mother. There's a very real possibility that she is in mortal danger without even knowing it. Stefan's treatment of Ilona certainly suggests that he's a brute and misogynist at heart. When Bathory seduces Valerie she's not awakening a latent lesbianism, but Valerie's own self-determination. By the end of the film Valerie is a stronger woman than she was at the beginning, with her stepping forward to wholeheartedly embrace a new destiny. It's an interesting twist to use vampirism, with all the exploitative baggage it carries with it, as a metaphor for female empowerment. That's just one of the many small, unique touches that elevate Daughters of Darkness above the usual, run of the mill cheapie vampire flick and make it something kind of special. Image Quality Daughters of Darkness looks remarkably good for a relatively obscure film on this vintage. The 1.66 AVC transfer runs at a consistently high bit rate and, for the most part, lacks noticeable compression related defects. The film employs a lot of red contrasting against light backgrounds, yet there's never any blooming. Even one red on red scene that could have become a chroma nightmare is sharp and clear. Detail is strong, even in scenes where a soft filter was employed, which really lets you drink in the ornately detail hotel interiors. In fact, I can't recall watching a 1970's film that boasted better detail in soft filtered shots. The biggest defect in the transfer was some very noticeable stair-stepping in certain shots, with the scene with the Countess knitting in the hotel lobby a particularly bad offender. The European favoured 1.66 aspect ratio means the film is slightly window boxed but, oddly, the image doesn't seem completely centered. There are some noticeable source defects, as well: in a few scenes there are warped frames, flickering dark patches around the edges of the frame and, more infrequently, scratches. It's not surprising that a film that has such a history of censorship would have some inconsistencies in the image. No huge complaints, though - for a film of this vintage and relative obscurity the image quality is stellar. If you watch Daughters of Darkness on Blu-ray, you'll be seeing it in a whole new light. Sound An English mono DTS-HD track is provided. There is no multi-channel remix and some fans may bemoan the lack of a more contemporary track, but the purist in me loved this fantastically mixed soundtrack. Dialogue is always crisp and music doesn't sound tinny or clipped. Sound effects are sparse, but that perfectly complements the atmosphere of the film. Even the droning score is well represented. This track is perfectly balanced: no element overwhelms the other. Fantastic. Supplemental Material Director Harry Kümis, accompanied by moderator David Gregory, provides an audio commentary. Kümis hits the ground running on this one, sharing insight into the development of the film from the different titles that were bandied about to camera tricks employed to help sell the winter setting (the film was actually shot in August). Kümis has strong technical chops - he's a professor of film - and strong opinions about other filmmakers and their works. It's refreshing to listen to a director who has a genuine perspective on his film without apologizing for its shortcomings. A second audio commentary has John Karlen and journalist David Del Valle. It's an interesting discussion, though too anecdote heavy to make it truly enlightening (and I don't buy for a minute that Danielle Ouimet had a 40 inch waistline). Aside from the usual banter, the participants spend a lot of time speculating on the director's intent. The fact that you can find out what his intent really was on his commentary track makes this one a bit redundant and pointless. In Locations of Darkness (21:37) Harry Kümis and co-writer and producer Pierre Drouot return to the Astoria Hotel in Brussels where the interiors of the film were shot and share production anecdotes. Kumel doesn't look anything like I imagined he would after listening to his audio commentary, but Drouot looks exactly like I thought Kümis would. It's interesting to see the hotel pretty much unchanged since the 70's. Star Danielle Ouimet gives us insight into Playing the Victim (15:29) in a horror movie. She does a good job of setting the stage and explaining the social climate in which was Daughters was made. Starting with her own start as an actress making erotic films in Quebec to getting cast in Daughters and working with director Harry Kümis, Ouimet provides a fair amount of insight into the film industry of the late 60's and early 70's. Even 40 years after Daughters of Darkness was made Andrea Rau is still adorable as hell in her interview segment, Daughter of Darkness (7:59). She covers a lot of the same ground as Ouimet: her start in German soft core films and the move into the semi-mainstream with Daughters. Rau has really aged well in this segment and she's a hypnotic speaker. Selection of the film's advertising materials is included, as well. The Theatrical Trailer (2:09) really tries to sell the film as a balls-out horror fest, when it's very clearly not. While I admire the skill of being able to cobble together an action packed trailer from such staid material, the trailer represents false advertising at its best. There are also four Radio spots (0:30 each) - nice, bite-sized portions of 70's cheese complete with audio reverb overdose. Devil-evil-evil! Vampire-ire-ire! Awesome. Finally, and most significantly, is the inclusion of a whole feature film as a supplement. The Blood Spattered Bride (1:41:00) is thematically linked to Daughters with both films drawing loose inspiration from the vampire novel Carmilla, but Bride is every bit as tacky and sleazy as you'd expect Daughters to be. Its inclusion is an interesting juxtaposition of wildly different takes of similar source material. The Spanish film is presented in a 480p standard definition, English-dubbed version with no alternate audio or subtitle options. The transfer is pretty mediocre, even by SD standards. The rich reds are free of chroma issues but the image quality is very soft and lacking in detail and the source material is in pretty rough shape. Still, its inclusion helps illustrate how strong the transfer of the main feature is. Final Thoughts An interesting slice of Eurotrash, Daughters of Darkness doesn't quite have the spark to push it into overlooked classic territory. Director Harry Kümis has fashioned a stylish film that manages to overcome most of its shortcomings through sheer directorial strength. Fans will appreciate the solid presentation and the robust collection of supplements but, it's not quite a revelatory film that demands a spot in your collection. It is most definitely worth a rent for those looking for an alternative to the usual, mainstream genre offerings, though.

MEMPHIS, Tenn.--A pair of men's soccer standouts, Thomas Coombes and Nico Gercke, received Daktronics Second-Team All-South Region selections.
The Buccaneers finished the 2013 season on a strong note with a 4-1-2 record down the stretch while defeating Florida Southern and Lynn on penalty kicks in the Sunshine State Conference tournament on their way to the title.
A big part of the Bucs' success was the strong play of junior midfielder Nico Gercke and forward Thomas Coombes.
A native of Newcastle, England, Coombes led the Buccaneers with nine goals and 19 points. Gercke provided the Bucs' midfield a physical presence and served as a strong defender with the ability to finish goals as well.
Gercke delivered a pair of goals including the game-winner in Barry's 4-3 victory over Saint Leo University in the Sunshine State Conference semifinal match.
Coombes also earned a spot on the SSC All-Conference honorable mention this season, while Gercke earned SSC All-Tournament honors.

Failure is OK, but continuing to work hard is more important, Michelle Obama said Friday.
That was the message the first lady delivered to students at an elementary school where the arts are being used to help boost student performance. The school is located in Anacostia, one of the city's poorest neighborhoods.
Mrs. Obama said failure was not an impediment for her and shouldn't be for them.
She also encouraged the students to "try new things and not be afraid to fail, because we have all failed."
"You're looking at the first ... I have failed at things. Things have been really hard for me at times," Mrs. Obama said at Savoy Elementary School. "But all I had to do was keep going and keep working hard."
To further illustrate her point, she pointed to Kerry Washington, star of ABC's "Scandal," as another example.
Mrs. Obama said the actress, who was sitting in the audience for the visit, is a big star these days because she chose to keep perfecting her craft instead of becoming discouraged by rejection during her career.
"She spent a lot of time practicing and working and trying out for things and having people tell her `no,' `no, thank you,' `you're not good enough, you're not pretty enough,'" the first lady said. "Could you imagine somebody telling Kerry that she wasn't pretty enough, she wasn't tall enough, she was too short? That's all performing is, is rejection."
Washington, who is the school's arts ambassador, later said she wasn't sure how that came to be.
"It might have something to do with playing Olivia Pope and having a principal Pope," she joked. Olivia Pope is her character on "Scandal" and Patrick Pope is the school's principal.

Claremont father, son arrested on heroin countsBy MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent
February 13. 2014 9:51PM
CLAREMONT — Two Summer Street men and a Charlestown man were busted on heroin charges Thursday as part of an ongoing investigation into drug crimes in the region, Claremont Police Chief Alex Scott said.
Father and son, Roger Colby, 49, and Mark Colby, 30, were arrested after Claremont police executed a search warrant at their residence at 87 Summer St.
Roger Colby was charged with four counts of sale of heroin. Each charge is punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a $300,000 fine.
Mark Colby was charged with possession of controlled drugs with intent to distribute. The charge is punishable by up to seven years in prison and a $100,000 fine.
In addition, Claremont and Charlestown police and the New Hampshire Attorney General's Drug Task Force arrested Jeremy Salsi, 42, of Old Claremont Road, Charlestown, in Charleston.
Salsi was charged with four counts of sale of controlled drugs (heroin). Each charge is punishable by up to seven years in prison and a $100,000 fine.
Police said the Colby home was searched as a result of a four-month investigation carried out by Claremont police and the New Hampshire Attorney General's Drug Task Force.
Found in the search was more than $4,000 cash, a .22 handgun, about one hundred 30 milligrams pills of oxycontin with an estimated street value of $3,000 and about 600 bags of heroin with an estimated street value of $3,000.
All three men were arraigned in the Fifth Circuit Court, Claremont District Division. Mark Colby's bail was set at $250,000 cash only; Roger Colby's bail was set at $50,000 cash only; and Salsi's bail was set at $5,000 cash only. All three are being held at the Sullivan County House of Corrections in lieu of bail.
Scott said Mark Colby's cash bail was higher because a handgun found is believed to be his. As a result, he is facing a charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm, Scott said.
Scott said the Colbys' and Salsi's arrests are not connected, but are related in that they resulted as part of a regionwide investigation of drug crimes.
"There's an ongoing investigation, multiple separate investigations relative to drug dealing in the county," Scott said.
Agencies involved include Claremont, Charlestown, Goshen and Newport police as well as the state Drug Task Force and the Sullivan County Sheriff's Department.

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — Secretary of State John Kerry is beginning a new round of Middle East peace diplomacy, arriving Wednesday in Jordan, his base for talks between Israel and the Palestinians.
Kerry is to travel from Amman to Jerusalem on Thursday for dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and has a lunch scheduled on Friday in Amman with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
At a news conference earlier in the day in Kuwait, Kerry expressed hope that two sides could make progress but denied press reports that any three-way meetings with both Netanyahu and Abbas were expected.
Kerry said he's set no specific deadline for making concrete progress in talks between Israel and the Palestinians that he's continuing this week, but that long before September there needs to be some kind of progress shown.
U.N. General Assembly, which reconvenes in September, voted overwhelmingly in November to upgrade the Palestinians from U.N. observer to non-voting member state. The Palestinians have said that if attempts at reaching an accord between the two sides fail, that they'd pursue a strategy of international recognition on their own, which would make finding peace in the decades-long conflict more elusive.
Kerry spoke during a news conference with Kuwait's emir, Sheik Sabah Al Ahmed Al Sabah. It is Kerry's fifth visit to the region since becoming secretary of state earlier this year.
"The time is getting near where we need to make some judgments. Last time, I was here, I said it's time for leaders to make some hard decisions," Kerry said. "That stands. It is time. Why is it urgent? It's urgent because time is the enemy of a peace process."
"I don't want to trap myself or any of the principals in this with arbitrary — or somewhat ad hoc time limits," Kerry said.
But he added: "Long before September we need to be showing some kind of progress in some way. ...That's why I'm here for this visit and I hope it can be productive."
Kerry has been shuttling between the Israelis and the Palestinians in search of a formula to restart talks. So far, there have been no signs of a breakthrough.
Abbas is being propelled toward a stark choice that could come as soon as next week, define his legacy and set the course for his people in their conflict with Israel. Abbas' aides fear he's being pushed by the U.S. into dropping his conditions for negotiating with Netanyahu
Israeli settlements lies at the heart of the heart of the nearly five-year impasse in Mideast peace efforts. The Palestinians say they will not negotiate while Israel continues to construct settlements in territory they seek for a future state. Netanyahu says the fate of the settlements should be resolved in negotiations, and talks should resume immediately without any preconditions. The Palestinians claim the West Bank and east Jerusalem, which were captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war, as parts of a future state.
"We come at this carefully. We have been working towards, hopefully an understanding that allows everybody to move forward, notwithstanding the difficulties that people face in the politics of their own countries," he said. "Why am I confident that something can be down? Because I believe peace is understood by them — both of them — to be urgent."
On Syria, Kerry acknowledged that getting a transitional government set up in Syria would be a "hard lift."
But he painted a dire picture of the alternative to convening an international conference to reach a political resolution to the two-year civil war.
"The people of Syria are suffering ... the prospect a long, continued war, which is very possible, means not only will many, many people die, many more homes will be destroyed, cities be destroyed. Not only will you have more atrocities, more violations of human rights, even some small evidence here and there of some ethnic cleansing.
"Not only will you have all that, but you may ultimately have complete destruction of the state of Syria so that the army and the institutions will fall apart and you will have a complete sectarian breakdown and that becomes far more dangerous for all of the region because it will empower extremists as well as create ongoing sectarian strife" in the region.
He reiterated his called for Iran and the Hezbollah fighters, which are bolstering Assad's forces, to leave Syria — a move he said would make it easier for a political resolution to be reached.

Church of Scientology National Affairs Office Hosts Mandela Day Tribute
Mandela great-nephew video conferences from South Africa to speak to community leaders observing Mandela Day in Washington, D.C.
Diplomats, leaders and community activists gathered at the Church of Scientology National Affairs Office July 18 in observance of United Nations Nelson Mandela International Day for Freedom Justice and Democracy. Service to others was the keynote of the day.
Attendees participated in a video conference with Prince Unathi Mtirara, great-nephew of Nelson Mandela, CEO of Opera South Africa and board member of Nelson Mandela Library. Emphasizing that service is Mandela's hallmark, Prince Unathi encouraged those assembled to continue and to increase their work to help their communities, saying "We're asking for your service. And I am proud of what you have already done."
Service was also the theme of the presentation by Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Ellen DeShazer. Judge DeShazer presides over a drug court that diverts individuals charged with nonviolent drug offenses and chronic substance abuse issues out of the local jail and state prison systems and into treatment. "Every day, you should be doing the hard work of changing your neighbor. Start with him and then move on and out," she said.
The event crowned a day of activities organized by The Way to Happiness Foundation Washington D.C. Chapter that included a community cleanup at Rose Park and Rock Creek Park, removing bottles, cans, trash and painting over graffiti.
The Way to Happiness, written by author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard, is a moral code based on common sense. More than 100 million copies of The Way to Happiness have been distributed in 205 countries and territories, providing a moral compass anyone can live by.
Judge DeShazer spoke of the benefit of this booklet in helping to change the lives of others for the better. "I always have copies of The Way to Happiness to give away," she said. "It is a wonderful book that offers guidance, structure and tools to live by."
Also featured at the evening's tribute were humanitarian and community betterment groups including the International Child Art Foundation, Rebecca Project for Human Rights, National Action Network, and National Federation of the Blind.
Nelson Mandela International Day was officially declared by the UN in 2009 and is celebrated annually around the world to honor Nelson Mandela's life and to mark his birthday with an international call to action promoting peace, equality, diversity, tolerance and mutual respect.

Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis (VEE) Confirmed in Mexico
Equine owners encouraged to consult with veterinarian
AUSTIN – Due to recent cases of Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis (VEE) in Southern Mexico, horse owners and veterinarians are encouraged to be alert to any clinical signs of illness that could indicate VEE. Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis (VEE) is a non-contagious viral infection of horses and other equids that can cause a severe and often fatal encephalitis/encephalomyelitis, which is defined as an inflammation of the brain and spinal cord.
VEE is typically found in Central and South America, but due to the recent case of a horse that died of VEE in Southern Mexico, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued an import alert for four states in Mexico. Effective immediately, and until further notice, horses and other equids from the states of Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Tabasco, and Chiapas or that have transited through these states are required to undergo a 7-day quarantine and observation for VEE in a vector-proof (double-screened) quarantine facility, rather than the standard 3-day quarantine prior to entry into the U.S. The particular VEE virus being reported by Mexico is considered an endemic strain, which doesn't normally cause disease in equids. The import alert issued by USDA is a precautionary measure due to the one horse in the State of Tabasco that has died from the virus. The severe outbreak that occurred in Texas in 1971 was caused by a different, more virulent strain of the virus.
Clinical signs of VEE include moderate to high fever, depression, lack of appetite, cranial nerve deficits (facial paralysis, tongue weakness, difficulty swallowing), behavioral changes (aggression, self-mutilation, or drowsiness), gait abnormalities, or severe central nervous system signs, such as head-pressing, circling, blindness, and seizures.
VEE is usually transmitted by mosquitoes, and infrequently by other bloodsucking insects. People may also be infected by mosquitos, but horse-to-horse and horse-to-human transmission is uncommon. VEE is highly pathogenic in horses. It can also cause illness in humans.
VEE is a foreign animal disease, reportable to both the TAHC and the Department of State Health Services due to the potential for human illness. Vaccination may interfere with testing for the disease, so veterinarians need to weigh the potential risks and benefits of vaccinating an individual horse that might be tested for export.
"There have been no reported cases of VEE in recent years in Texas. However, our close proximity to Mexico means that we will be keeping a close eye on any cases across the border and determining whether any further regulatory action will be needed," said Dr. Andy Schwartz, TAHC State Epidemiologist. "Vaccination and other protective measures for all equine including West Nile Virus, Western and Eastern Equine Encephalitis (WEE/EEE) should be discussed with your veterinarian."

A burst of new development throughout Daytona Beach is suddenly colliding with homeless people who for decades have laid claim to vacant wooded areas they can slip into when the sun goes down.
DAYTONA BEACH — For nearly three months, home for Cindi Jeter and Harry Aber was a tent hidden in a patch of woods just behind the K-Mart on International Speedway Boulevard.
Inside the tent pitched in thick brush was a queen-size mattress, a makeshift stove with propane gas tanks, a small radio, battery-powered lamps and a supply of food and beverages that included Cheetos, olives, vodka and Jack Daniel's whiskey. The homeless couple even had a small Christmas tree in the corner of their nylon-walled home.
A few days before Christmas, they had to pack it all up and find a new spot. The land they were on is a tiny slice of an 86-acre plot owned by Halifax Health Medical Center, and the hospital is getting ready to clear the property and transform it into a new development that could include shops, apartments, hotels, restaurants, medical buildings and offices.
It's a story that's playing out all over the city.
A burst of new development throughout Daytona Beach is suddenly colliding with homeless people who for decades have laid claim to vacant wooded areas they can slip into when the sun goes down.
"In any wooded area of Daytona Beach you'll find homeless people," said Police Chief Mike Chitwood. "It's like the forgotten part of society. They have their own structure."
The problem is a lot of the trees in those wooded areas are about to come down to make way for new development, but police are encountering homeless camps on some of those sites.
At the Museum of Arts & Sciences, people are camping in an area of thickly wooded property off Nova Road where construction on a new museum of Florida art is expected to start in a few months. International Speedway Corp. officials will probably face the same issue when they're ready to move on the huge new development they hope to create on both sides of International Speedway Boulevard.
Even oceanfront developers hoping to put up towering new hotels could find homeless people bunking behind grassy sand dunes and in vacant buildings targeted for demolition, police say.
Since a new dog park was created on Manatee Island a few months ago, city officials have been trying to clear out the homeless who have settled in there.
City leaders are doing the same thing in Tuscawilla Park, where the aerial adventure course with zip lines and suspended bridges opened over the summer. Some of the homeless people pushed out of that park have set up two new camps near the corner of Keech Street and Magnolia Avenue, Chitwood said.
The chief said he doesn't have enough officers to monitor all the wooded areas all the time, and the body of a deceased man wasn't found in the area behind K-Mart for two years because it was so far back in the trees.
With around 2,200 homeless people in Volusia County — a number that's been climbing about 10 percent annually the past five years — and fewer than 900 beds available to them in local shelters and transitional housing, nightfall finds many of them disappearing into wooded areas. Some have even created shelters put together with stray pieces of wood, tarps, plastic sheeting, old rugs and other material they've been able to scrounge up, as one man did recently in a clandestine thicket in the Derbyshire neighborhood.
In most cases they're on private land or city property, so the homeless people have no legal right to keep their tents pitched and their few belongings scattered around.
Police officer Kris Cicero patrols the area that includes the homeless camps behind K-Mart, and she said she first heard the news that they'd have to move from people in the encampments. Halifax Health officials are trying to work with the homeless people on their property by giving them advance notice before site work begins.
"We're warning them that they're going to have to get out of there before we start the clearing of the land," said Halifax Health CEO Jeff Feasel. "We're just going through a process to be humane to the people who are over there. ... If you're homeless there's not a lot of other options. You have to feel for them."
On Dec. 19, Halifax Health got the final OK from city commissioners to rezone most of the 86 acres north of K-Mart and west of Clyde Morris Boulevard to move forward with the new development. Now clearing work can begin as scheduled around the second or third week of January, Feasel said.
The city is also trying to strike the balance between using its property for its intended purpose and respecting the homeless.
"It's not illegal to be homeless," said Percy Williamson, the city's director of Leisure Services. "We want to treat people with dignity and respect. But we want everyone to enjoy their day in the park."
Lisa Hamilton, executive director of the Volusia Flagler County Coalition for the Homeless based in Daytona Beach, said her agency continues to look for ways to get the homeless off the streets.
"We do have pathways to get them out," Hamilton said. "We try to make sure people who live in encampments know where the help is. We go out to them."
The city, meanwhile, has had mixed success convincing homeless people to sleep somewhere other than its parks. The number of those bedding down in Tuscawilla Park has dropped over the past year, but some have refused to relocate.
"There's still a small element out there," said Williamson, who noted the city has even rearranged some picnic tables in the heart of Tuscawilla Park to discourage transients and homeless from hanging around.
"Police do sweeps and at sunset they try to tell them the parks are not available to them," he said. "It's tough to get compliance because it's very wooded. It's a long, longstanding problem."
The same battle is being fought on Manatee Island, the small plot of land in the Halifax River just south of the Main Street bridge. Police do sweeps of the island before dark, city officials have thinned out the trees there to make things more visible and workers have dredged the river to get rid of the sand bridge the homeless used at low tide to get onto the island after the gate on the bridge was locked for the night.
The homeless can legally be there or in any park during the day just like anyone else, but some of those without a roof over their heads have claimed the island as their own, city officials and nearby business owners say. One man reported not being able to use a restroom there about two months ago because someone who appeared to be a transient blocked the entrance and said other people were inside and it wasn't a good time.
"City employees clean the restrooms a few times a day and restock it because the homeless do use it to wash up," Williamson said.
Tom Myers, the owner of the frozen yogurt shop on the corner of Beach and Bay streets, regularly goes to Manatee Island with his dogs and said he's seen homeless people hang wet clothes there. He said he's also seen their food stored in the rafters of pavilions on the island and he's seen them curled up in blankets sleeping on top of picnic tables.
Myers has had his share of confrontations with panhandlers, and he's rolling around an idea in his head to spearhead a program that would include placing secure metal boxes downtown that people could use to make donations to the homeless instead of being pressured in uncomfortable encounters with people begging.
"We as a community have let things go," Myers said. "It'll just take community involvement to fix it."
Troy Ray, executive director of Halifax Urban Ministries, hopes part of the solution is thinking about homeless people on the front end of new development projects. Some of them are skilled laborers who could help in the construction of buildings, he said.
"It could also put some homeless people to work in the service sector," Ray said.
He also hopes people realize the homeless have to be somewhere. The 54-year-old woman and the 63-year-old man who lived in the tent behind K-Mart took weeks to find a new place where they hope no will find them.
"Every space, every square foot of the city is off limits to the homeless," Ray said.
Williamson said he has lived the majority of his 56 years in Daytona Beach, and he has watched the homeless problem get worse. Ultimately homelessness is a countywide problem, he said, but Daytona Beach has carried most of the load because the majority of assistance services are in Daytona and that remains a magnet for the homeless.
A measure passed by city commissioners last year attempts to disburse the responsibility by banning new social service agencies in the city's redevelopment areas.
"We have a disproportionate amount of it because we have a lack of a countywide solution," Williamson said. "Unless and until other cities step up and more facilities are brought online, we're going to fight a tough battle in Daytona Beach."

This is turning out to be a lot more FUN! than I ever thought it would. Compared to my 1st Shawl Fiasco (black yarn, boring pattern), this one is whizzing along.
A few days ago, I had a swatch; now it really is starting to L@@K like a Shawl! Woot! Since you start at the neck with just a few stitches, every pattern repeat reveals a wonderful new dimension to the piece. Even the learning curve with the initial crochet provisional cast-on wasn't too steep (thank you LOIS for your cool tutorial – I won't bore you all on how many tries I did until I liked the way it looked! Let me just say it was a question of balance and skill not unlike riding a two-wheeler bicycle. You were either riding or flat on the ground.)
Also extremely pleasing to me is the variegations of the yarn and the way the colors are revealing themselves in the pattern. I've pinned it to its little Mother Ship of a chair and pillow in my living room (the two were partially responsible for me trying this Bold color combo to begin with). Now I can see it when I glance up from my other knitting; it's across from my favorite stitching chair.
Dirty Little Secret: You see, over the last couple of years, all of my projects are Test Drives until proven otherwise. In the past, I used to just blindly finish (or bury) garments to completion; now I pause a little along the way to test their appeal and my attraction to the initial idea. If they don't measure up, I'm much less inclined to continue and will rip that sucker out!
But this time, I must say to myself: "ON with its Thread!"
…to be continued. For the whole shebang read it HERE…

ADRIAN — A Weston man charged more than a year ago with sexually abusing a girl was sentenced to probation Wednesday in Lenawee County Circuit Court under terms of a plea bargain to a reduced assault charge.
"It's just been a long, tedious fight. I just want to get on with my life and put all this ugliness behind me," said Robert Lee Bell, 33, before he was sentenced.
Bell was charged in December 2011 with abusing a girl younger than 13 from 2006 through 2008 in Morenci and Seneca Township. He faced a mandatory minimum prison term of 25 years if convicted of the original first-degree criminal sexual conduct charges.
"This has been a difficult case," said defense attorney Laurence Margolis of Ann Arbor.
The allegations against Bell have divided his family, Margolis said.
Bell has insisted from the start of the case that he did not sexually abuse the girl, Margolis said.
"He did not want to bring that child up here and force a trial," he told the court. A compromise worked out with the Lenawee County prosecutor's office is the plea bargain reached last month. Bell pleaded no contest to assault with intent to do great bodily harm with the understanding there would be no additional jail time imposed.
Bell also waived sentencing guidelines in the case that called for a minimum prison term between 19 and 38 months.
Judge Timothy P. Pickard reminded Bell that a probation violation now gives him the option of handing down a prison term of as much as six years and eight months to 10 years.
Margolis said he is confident Bell will not violate probation or commit another offense.
"He is not a molester. I don't believe that, Margolis said.
In addition to five years' probation, Bell was sentenced to four weekends of community service in lieu of serving four weekends in the county hard labor program due to a physical disability.
Pickard also ordered Bell have no contact with minor children outside the presence of an adult.

MySQL quietly deprecated support for most Linux distributions on October 16, when its 'MySQL Network' support plan was replaced by 'MySQL Enterprise.' MySQL now supports only two Linux distributions - Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. We learned of this when MySQL declined to sell us support for some new Debian-based servers. Our sales rep 'found out from engineering that the current Enterprise offering is no longer supported on Debian OS.' We were told that 'Generic Linux' in MySQL's list of supported platforms means 'generic versions of the implementations listed above'; not support for Linux in general.

CANNES, France (AP) — A 25-year-old Quebecois filmmaker is the toast of the Cannes Film Festival.
Xavier Dolan's "Mommy," a mother-son French-language drama, premiered Thursday in Cannes. While the writer-director is only 25, "Mommy" is his fourth film at the festival, though his first in the prestigious competition for the Palme d'Or.
"There might be a proper age to know how to tell stories, but there is no proper age to start telling them," said Dolan. "I'm not thinking of myself as someone young. I feel neither young nor old, I just feel like I'm trying to do the right thing in order to tell a story that haunts me somehow."
Though Dolan has been a fixture on festivals and won admirers for his previous films, his debut on Cannes' main stage had the feel of an international arrival. Appearing Thursday in a trim green blazer, dark-frame glasses and earrings on both ears, Dolan — often labeled a wunderkind or a prodigy — regaled festival-goers with an intelligence and poise beyond his years.
He spoke passionately about — of all things — James Cameron's "Titanic" and its inspiration to him. He said the 1997 film was the first time it dawned on him that there was "an order to filmmaking."
"It sort of gave me the faith in crazy and ambitious ideas," said Dolan.
"Mommy" was made in an unusual, Instagram-like 1:1 aspect ratio — a square-sized frame that Dolan said gave viewers nowhere to focus but on his characters. It stars Anne Dorval as Diana "Die" Despres, a theatrical, feisty widow as she wrestles with homeschooling her ADHD-afflicted teenage son, Steve (Antoine Olivier Pilon).
Critical reaction to "Mommy" was mixed, though some predicted it would be in the running for the Palme d'Or. Asked about what such an honor would mean, Dolan said:
"It would just be an extraordinary message to people my age and my generation"

Waipuna is an exciting collaboration of two talented individuals, Kale Hannahs and Matt Sproat. Their eclectic musical backgrounds and similar taste in music has led to the development of a unique sound that draws comparisons to their name, Waipuna, or spring water. After the release of their critically acclaimed first album, Manaʻo Pili, in November of 2009, the duo has been blessed with the opportunity to share their music with Hawaiʻi, the continental US and Japan. Kale and Matt invite audiences and fans to return with the release of E Hoʻi Mai, a collection of songs that pay tribute to where they have come from, recognize the people that have helped to guide them, and provide a glimpse as to where their music will lead them. Like the fresh water from the mountain spring that travels downstream bringing life to the loʻi (taro fields), Waipunaʻs music will rejuvenate your senses and encourage personal growth by providing a melodic serving of music for the mind.

Value Line is regarded as the best independent research available. More than just recommendations, Value Line provides the rationale behind its picks for greater understanding.
The Boeing Company (BA - Free Boeing Stock Report) is the largest aerospace/defense company in the world, with more than 168,400 employees. Its commercial aircraft are employed around the globe, while its numerous defense products are utilized by the United States and its allies. However, like most other corporations, this Dow-30 member started from humble beginnings.
In July of 1916, William Boeing and George Westervelt formed the Pacific Aero Products Company. At the time, the two men owned one seaplane and were hired by the government of New Zealand to deliver mail and instruct future pilots. Soon after, the company changed its name to the Boeing Airplane Company. During World War I, it manufactured seaplane trainers, and after the conflict, it was contracted to produce a number of civilian and military aircraft. Then, in 1924, it won several contracts to manufacture hundreds of fighter aircraft for the U.S. Navy and Army Air Corp (precursor to the Air Force). Also at this time, Boeing developed the Model 40, a commercial aircraft, which was able to carry passengers, crew, and 1,000 pounds of mail. This plane was greeted warmly by airlines, since, at the time, a number of them were vying to secure lucrative government mail delivery contracts. Furthermore, through the addition of National Air Transport, Boeing consolidated its airline holdings and formed what would become United Airlines (now known as United Continental Holdings (UAL)).
Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, Boeing's operations expanded materially. At this time, it assembled and manufactured aircraft and related components, owned an airline, and delivered mail, among other businesses. However, during this period, the U.S. government suspected that the country's airmail industry was fraught with collusion and unfair business practices. As a result, in 1934, the U.S. Congress declared that companies could no longer be engaged in both aircraft production and airline operations. Thus, this led to Boeing being split into two entities. The company's Western aeronautical operations kept the Boeing name and relocated its headquarters to Chicago, Illinois (where it remains to this day). The Eastern operations formed a new entity, United Aircraft, which would eventually become United Technologies (UTX – Free United Technologies Stock Report). For those interested in obtaining a more thorough understanding of United Technologies' history and current business,click here.
Once separated, the new Boeing concentrated on expanding its aircraft production business. It was during this time that the company successfully launched a number of new aircraft, and utilized materials that helped planes travel farther distances, at higher speeds. When the United States sought to increase military preparedness due to World War II, Boeing manufactured the B-17 for the Army. The "Flying Fortress" proved to be invaluable during the war, as did Boeing's B-29 aircraft. During the conflict, Boeing manufactured hundreds of these long-range bombers, and they remained staples of the U.S. military for several decades. In the 1950s, Boeing developed the 707 passenger aircraft, which was very popular among airlines. In addition, this plane was converted for military purposes and branded the KC-135, and this tanker aircraft remains in service to this day.
The 1960s brought the development and production of the 737 and 747 models. Updated versions of these aircraft are taking off and landing at airports at this very moment. Once the 747 hit the tarmacs in 1970, it was the largest commercial airplane in the world, capable of carrying twice as many passengers as any other aircraft. It was at this time that Boeing also expanded its defense business. It purchased a manufacturer of military helicopters and designed the Minuteman Intercontinental Ballistic Missile system, a program that flourished during the Cold War. Boeing also dedicated immense resources to the space program and produced lunar orbiters for NASA.
Boeing struggled mightily during the 1970s. Due to a severe recession that took hold in mid-decade, demand and orders for commercial planes completely dried up. In addition, the company experienced a number of costly design and production delays for some of its aircraft and other products. The situation was so dire that Boeing appeared to be on the verge of bankruptcy and slashed its workforce by more than 50%, or approximately 40,000 employees. Thankfully, thereafter, conditions brightened and the economic situation improved. By 1980, Boeing aircraft were rolling off the assembly line and the company benefited greatly from the success of its two new commercial aircraft, the 757 and 767. Airlines were eager to purchase these planes since they utilized improved technology that reduced noise and required fewer crew members. In addition, they burned less fuel per flight than some comparable offerings, which carriers yearned for after major oil shocks during the 1970s.
The success that stemmed from the 757 and 767 models, unfortunately, did not last long. Throughout the 1980s, once again, Boeing experienced production delays and cost overruns, this time with its new 777 aircraft. Another economic downturn, albeit a less severe one in some respects, along with four fatal crashes of Boeing planes, significantly hampered demand, as well. Manufacturing problems also plagued the 747, which missed a number of scheduled delivery dates for the first time in its history. Elevated competition from Airbus, another large maker of commercial aircraft, had a meaningful effect on Boeing's bottom line, and the stock performed poorly during the late 1980s through the beginning of the century's final decade. The market for commercial aircraft remained weak well into the 1990s. At this time, Boeing once again attempted to move more of its focus and resources from commercial aircraft to other business endeavors. It won several NASA contracts, including becoming the prime contractor for The International Space Station, and was involved in a number of shuttle and satellite launches. In 1996, Boeing was also selected to be one of the lead contractors for the U.S. military's new aircraft program, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, which will soon enter active service.
The tough commercial aircraft market led to a wave of consolidation activity. In 1996, Boeing purchased Rockwell International, which bolstered its space and military divisions. More important, the following year, Boeing acquired McDonnell Douglas for $14 billion. This addition made Boeing the largest aerospace/defense company in the world, a title, as mentioned earlier, it still holds. McDonnell gave Boeing a more than 60% market share of the commercial aircraft industry leaving Airbus as its sole major competitor. The economic climate of the late 1990s was quite favorable and demand for aircraft increased materially. McDonnell gave Boeing greater production facilities, as well as increased exposure to military contracts, which helped reduce its long-standing dependence on the commercial aircraft market. Boeing was now producing the F-15 and F-18 fighters for the U.S. military and these two aircraft formed the backbone of both the U.S. Navy and Air Force, and are still protecting American skies at this very moment.
During the late 1990s, Boeing appeared to be firing on all cylinders and its prospects were bright. However, another bout with production delays and cost overruns surfaced. In 1997, it incurred hefty charges, and share profits fell to $0.63 for the year, down from $1.42 in 1996. Soon after, it launched a large restructuring effort, which consisted of workforce reductions and the production stoppage of several aircraft, among other initiatives. These initiatives proved successful and Boeing closed out the 20th Century in good financial shape.
The Chicago-based manufacturer and Dow component remains a fixture in the aerospace/defense industry. It operates through two business segments: Commercial Aircraft and Defense, Space, and Security. Boeing is one of only two world producers of large commercial aircraft. Popular Boeing models include the 737, 747, 757, 767, 777, and 787, which was delivered on September 26, 2011, after years of production and testing delays. The 787, which utilizes cutting edge technology and new, lighter materials, is in great demand, as noted by its hefty backlog. In addition, after years or production and testing delays, on September 26, 2011, it delivered the first 787 Dreamliner. This plane, which utilizes cutting edge technology and new, lighter materials, is in great demand, as noted by its large backlog.
Boeing also remains a major defense and space contractor of military aircraft and hundreds of other air, land, and sea products ranging from missiles to logistical services. It is a major service provider to NASA, and operates the International Space Station and space shuttle. The company possesses customers in more than 90 countries and, in terms of sales, is one of the largest U.S. exporters. As mentioned, it has its fingers in a lot of pies, which should help it remain on the forefront of the aerospace/defense industry as we move deeper into the 21st Century.
At the time of this article's writing, the author did not have positions in any of the companies mentioned.

Forgive the lengthy post...
My LO will be a year old in a month or so and we've made it this far EBF! I am looking forward to at least partially weaning from the pump once she reaches the year mark but continuing to nurse on demand when I'm home. I am hoping for some advice regarding how to do this from all of you experienced and wise mamas because I'm confused as to how it might work, especially because I have an irregular work schedule.
The situation:
I currently pump every morning whether I'm going to work or not and get a 3-4 oz bottle from that. I plan to continue this morning session.
I am away from LO for 6 hours 3 days a week, and 9 hours 1 day a week. Right now I'm pumping 1-2 times while away on the shorter days and 3 times while away on the longer days (I get 3-4 ounces from each of these sessions). I would like to stop these sessions once she's a year old so my work day is not so disrupted.
I always make sure to pump as much in a day as she has consumed and have been able to keep up or exceed her consumption so far. She eats solids voraciously.
My questions:
Given the irregularity of the schedule, is it possible not to pump while I'm away and not get plugged ducts or engorgement (when I've had to skip a pump/go too long between a couple of times I've had plugged ducts).
Will I really still have enough milk for LO to nurse on demand on days when I'm home the whole day if I'm not pumping the days I'm at work?
How can I best use my freezer stash?-- I have a freezer full of milk because of the extra morning pump I do. I guess LO could continue to drink the same amount while I'm away and use up the freezer stash, or we could do a combo of more solids and a little freezer stash to stretch it longer?
I've probably been over-thinking the whole thing and gotten myself confused! Any help would be appreciated

The theme of this Big Island elopement was "the Forest meets the Sea," representing the Bride and Groom who come from Australia and Hawaii. Perched atop a cliff with dramatic views of the ocean and the lush, green Waipio Valley, this intimate ceremony achieved that perfect blend of forest and sea. Check out the full gallery for more of this breathtaking wedding, captured by Aria Studios.
From Aria Studios... It was an overcast, drizzly day for this intimate Honokaa (Big Island) elopement. The theme of their wedding was "the Forest [to represent Sally] meets the Sea [to represent Teva]." Sally is from Australia, and Teva is from Hawaii. Aunty Tutu blessed the ceremony location and blew a conch shell as the couple walked to the alter. She serenaded the couple on her ukulele and performed a Hawaiian ceremony with Teva's parents as witnesses. Sally and Teva spoke their vows to each other with the dramatic Waipio Valley behind them.

Last weekend's Windfest celebration at the Hood River Expo Center wasn't billed as a religious experience. But there was plenty of praying going on.
Praying for wind, that is.
As every windsurfer knows, you can't go very far without a little help from the wind gods.
Good thing they were listening, because 900 local and out-of-town sailors were treated to a better-than-anticipated weekend of weather and wind.
"All you can do is pray for good weather," said Eric Skemp, general manager of Hifly North America and president of the American Windsurfing Industries Association (AWIA), which sponsored the fourth-annual event.
"We were just hoping the conditions would be good enough to give people a chance to test out some new equipment, take a lesson and enjoy the town of Hood River," he said.
Local manufacturers and retailers such as Sailworks, Gorge Sport, Big Winds, Reel Wind, Windsurfing Hawaii, Hood River WaterPlay, Brian's Windsurfing, Windwing, Chinook, North Sports, Hifly and Lava Gear all set up shop along the Hood River waterfront.
Highlighted by Saturday night's Pray for Wind party, sponsored by the Columbia Gorge Windsurfing Association, the third stop on the Windfest circuit offered plenty of good times and good jibes for windsurfers of all ability levels.
"Our goal for Windfest is to encourage people to get their gear out of the garage and come celebrate the sport," Skemp said of the event, which passed through Cape Hatteras, N.C., and San Francisco before blowing through Hood River.
"Overall, it's good for business, good for the sport and good for Hood River. We've been very fortunate over the years, and this year was our best yet," he said.
Skemp also said that AWIA recently added two additional stops to the Windfest tour in 2003. Cape Cod and Minnesota will join the fun next year, but dates have not yet been announced.

A day after death of close friend, Ryan Palmer plays through grief at Players Championship
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Playing with a heavy heart and the initials "CA" on his hat, Ryan Palmer managed to keep his composure before and during the second round of The Players Championship on Friday.
After was a different story.
Playing just hours after the death of one of his best friends, Palmer got a little emotional following his par putt on the 18th green.
"The day was over so I kind of let it all out for a minute," Palmer said after a 3-under 69 that left him at 8-under 136 and squarely in contention at TPC Sawgrass.
Palmer got the call Thursday night that Clay Aderholt was killed in a car accident in San Antonio earlier in the evening.
He talked to friends and his psychologist, whose advice focused on "being real calm and slow out there and just not getting too emotional."
Palmer kept the tips in mind, which he credited with helping him get through an up-and-down round that featured five bogeys, four birdies and two eagles.
"I had some rough holes, but I stayed strong, stayed positive and kept in the present, and that got me through," Palmer said.
Palmer said he and Aderholt grew up together in Amarillo, Texas, attending the same middle and high schools as well as going to college together at Texas A&M.
"All the way back to as long as I can remember," Palmer said.
Palmer will enter Saturday's third round in a three-way tie for sixth, three strokes behind leader Sergio Garcia.
He said his short game "saved" him Friday, and anyone who watched him play the Stadium Course knew exactly what he was talking about. He drained a putt from just off the green for eagle at No. 9 and chipped in from a bunker on the 11th for another. It was the first time he's ever managed two eagles in the same tournament, let alone the same round.
"You've got to have things happen like that to be in contention to win, so I've had some things go my way," said Palmer, who never considered withdrawing from the field. "If we keep playing well and get a few more breaks on the weekend, who knows? We'll see what happens."
CASTRO STUMBLES: Roberto Castro's stay atop the leaderboard at The Players was short-lived.
The 27-year-old Castro, who shot 9 under Thursday, followed the round of his life with one to forget. He shot a 6-over 78 in the second round Friday and dropped into a tie for 29th.
Despite the stumble, his outlook remained positive.
"I wouldn't have been embarrassed or felt bad or anything if I would have shot two 76s this week," Castro said. "It's a hard golf course. I'm 3-under par and beating 110 of the best players in the world through 36 holes. So I just kept telling myself, 'it's not easy, it's not easy, it's not easy.'"
Only five golfers — Derek Ernst, Brian Harman, George McNeill, Greg Owen and Y.E. Yang — had worse second rounds than Castro.
Castro, though, preferred to focus on his finish. After making a birdie, five bogeys and a double through 12 holes, he settled down and made six consecutive pars.
"It was huge," he said. "I was 6-over par and sitting there looking at 16, 17 and 18. I saw (Thursday) every hole on the course is hard, so it was nice to finish with six really solid holes."
HEADED HOME: Eleven former major winners, including Vijay Singh, headed home after missing the cut at The Players. Fourteen other major winners advanced to the third round.
Phil Mickelson, Jim Furyk, Ernie Els, Graeme McDowell, Lucas Glover, Stewart Cink, Geoff Ogilvy, David Toms, Keegan Bradley and Y.E. Yang joined Singh in getting the weekend off.
Singh sued the PGA Tour on Wednesday for exposing him to "public humiliation and ridicule" during a 12-week investigation into his use of deer antler spray. The tour dropped its case last week.
The lawsuit and its timing raised eyebrows, especially since The Players is the tour's flagship event. Singh's presence at TPC Sawgrass this week, though, caused few, if any, distractions.
EAGLE SIGHTINGS: The par-4 18th has historically been the toughest hole on the Stadium Course.
And it's playing that way again this week — but not without a couple of historic exceptions.
After surrendering just two eagles over the previous 31 years during The Players, the finishing hole has given up two in as many days. Marc Leishman accomplished the feat Friday, holing out with a wedge from 172 yards away. Jason Dufner carded an eagle there Thursday.
"As soon as I hit it, it looked like it was pretty good, and it was it pretty good," Leishman said.
DIVOTS: The PGA Tour's longest active streak of cuts ended Friday when Billy Horschel put two balls in the water on No. 18. Horschel had made 23 consecutive cuts. He shot a 1-under 71 in the second round, finished at 3 over and missed the cut by three strokes. "It's a new learning situation," Horschel said. "I should have made the cut. The mistakes I made were just simple mistakes. Obviously, I didn't make enough birdies to offset them like I have in the past." ... Dustin Johnson (lower back) and Colt Knost (neck, spine) withdrew before the second round with injuries. ... The tournament encountered some parking issues Friday, with spectators getting turned away from full lots. Gorgeous weather and an increase in tickets put up for sale resulted in an estimated record crowd for the second round at TPC Sawgrass.
