>> yeah, if you were playing in regulation play, you'd be happy to two-putt. fluff pointing to a spot there on the top of the ridge where jim hopes to get the ball on that line. >> gary, you believe unlikely both donald and garrigus will miss their birdie putt? >> i don't think we'll see both missed. both are below the hole. i think donald's might be a little straighter than garrigus', but i don't see both of them missing. >> with that mentality, if you're jim furyk, you've got to go for this. >> absolutely. >> he's hit it. he hit a good putt. again, if you were playing in regulation, you'd be happy about that. >> sang-moon bae is next,

dottie. >> he is coming up out of that very same low. i was actually surprised he was so far away from jim furyk when he hit his putt. he was clear on the other side of the green. didn't get a great perspective of it. i think he should have been down here closer to the right side of the green where he can look at the way it came across the slope. >> the guy is used to winning, we've talked about it. 11 international victories on the asian, japan, korean tours, and he has won a tournament six consecutive years. so even though he's been introduced to america by getting his card, finishing in a tie for eighth at q school last year. >> and he shot 66 in the final round to do that under some pretty intense pressure. if you don't play that well, you're not on the pga tour. so this guy can handle it,

there's no question about it. >> this for birdie. >> that same slope and it turns hard from right to left once it gets up on top. >> it looked g -- good. and he liked the looks of this. it had the look that he was going to maybe walk it in. who's away now? >> well, garrigus is away.

and remember that he missed a very short putt in the playoff last year at the tournament of champions against jonathan byrd, one that was shorter than this. >> that was with a short putter, the 28 1/2-inch putter. he's gone to the 46-inch putter that he referred to earlier as dr. evil. how evil will that long putter be right now that he changed to in the desert at the humana challenge. here's a good test right now for birdie. >> this putt will move a little bit to his right. this is where i'd want to be putting right now. i think this is a great opportunity if he can hold this putt. >> it looked like it started just ever so slightly left of his aim. >> the luke chants have begun. birdie putt to not only win for

the fifth time on the pga tour, but just a couple of weeks after rory mcilroy, the new sensation at the top of the world golf rankings list took it over from him, a chance to seize it right back. and, dottie, this is right below, staring right at it for the win. >> absolutely. less break than anyone has had, uphill. and you'd be hard pressed to find somebody with better tempo in the clutch than luke donald when it comes to putting. >> we talked about how well he has putted this week. and his stroke -- i love it, how he just holds the putter after he makes contact. there's no rebound to the stroke. >> there's your new number one, luke donald. wins the playoff and catches the 2012 transitions championship. didn't miss a putt inside ten

feet today. nails the birdie winner from six and a half feet. just hit the perfect 7 iron out of the rough to set this up. >> that was an incredible shot. that putt just kind of sneaked in the left side. this one if it had been a few inches longer i'm not sure it would have gone in, but it was just good enough. >> just like that, luke donald is back on top. let's send it down to steve sapds. -- sands. >> you know, it's another step in the right direction towards hopefully gaining some more confidence and trying to win majors. you know, i feel like i have achieved a lot in my career. but this is perfect preparation. i have two weeks off and am looking forward to augusta. >> we've been talking about trying to get back to the number

one spot. is it more difficult to get to number one or to stay at number one? >> i was a lot more nervous the first time thinking about trying to get to number one. it certainly wasn't my focus this time around. i was just focused on trying to win the tournament and it all worked out. >> congratulations. dan, back to you. >> thanks, steve. you heard it. next stop for luke donald, augusta, first major of the year. still hasn't won a major, but a big win for luke donald to seize the number one ranking. as you look at the fedex cup standings through the transitions now, rory mcilroy is still on top followed by kyle stanley and johnson wagner. luke donald has moved just outside the top ten into the 12th spot. reminder, tiger, phil an more tee it up at bay hill. coverage begins thursday and golf channel and continues saturday at 2:00 p.m. tonight starting at 7:00, an all-new dateline followed by brand new episodes of harry's

this week on class action, going to town on tuntastic, it let's kids create their own cartoons. a local school tunes in. and then girl interrupted, what happens to tween-age girls. with it, sometimes goes their schoolrk and for some girls even their life aspirations. a family life specialist offers some advice for us today. and then later, the winds have changed. kids work on a windmill project, wrapping up their math and science skills. dedicated people are working hard to increase the number of kids in the silicon valley that

go to college to study math and science. welcome to "class action." up next, super fun. tune town is helping kids learn. joining me to talk about it is andy russell, the co-founder of a company called launch pad toys which created the ipad app. diane is the special media specialist and has hands on experience using the tuntastic app. it's such a great idea. how did you come up with this? >> we're watching kids play with toys. watching kids create stories at an older age and play with action figures and dolls and legos and puppets at a younger age and we wanted to bring those

two together, the app around creative play and creative writing in older elementary years. >> what is interesting about it, though, it's connected to story telling which i don't think people realize, little kids always create a drama, a story. when they can't really write it down yet, it allows them to create it. >> yeah. you see them go to the toy box and they pick out their action figures or dolls. they startling stories right away. it provides sparks for us, or catalyst for our information and we wanted to build a tool that would capture those stories and that creative play and action basically the figures with the record button. >> because the kids get to record their own voice, too. they get to narrate it? >> right. >> i think we have one of those. >> i'd like fresh bananas today. king kong, i'm going to go to the special banana island. >> the child adds their own voice to that? >> yes, that's a 6-year-old

girl. >> how does this go from being something fun that the kids are able to use at home and create to something that you actually work and use in an educational environment. >> one of the things that schools are backing more interested and vested in is developing critical thinking and creative thought. and having a tool like this helps students generate a lot of ideas, mess about, play with their friends and unlock ideas that they can use for writing tea write for an audience in ways that they haven't had an opportunity to do before. it has to be a lot more engaging and endearing for them to get them motivated. >> the level of engagement, enthusiasm, level of laughter. students are far more willing to go back and revise and edit and say, that doesn't sound right. when it was just on paper, that

was a much more difficult task for them to do. they can experience the writing process in a really fun way. >> so walk me through the app. i want -- this is something obviously that my kids can do at home, too. how would i go on? >> would you like me to show you? >> yeah. show me. >> it's for the ipad and we start here on the narrative art. so a lot of people think that a story is the beginning, middle, and end, but it's a roller coaster of a motion, if you will. that is called a story arc and then the climax and ref resolution and we can move scenes around or added a different types of scenes if we want. but let's start with the setup, where you introduce the characters and your story setting. we can jump in there. the first thing we're going to do when we start our story is a background or a story. you can draw your own background

if you want. >> right. >> or flip to existing ones. here we have inat the den pens hall or new york city in the early 1900s, we have the savannah, amazon, san francisco. >> how easy do you find it for kids to be able to navigate this? as adults you look at this and say, i might have a hard time doing this. for kids it's more intrinsic. >> having a touch device is changing -- teaching technology. you're not teaching technology per se but you're teaching content. so the touch device makes everything accessible. kids can go in, drag, drop, and there's a koocoordination of th mouse. they can navigate this on their own. >> have you done any studies that demonstrate what kids are actually learning from this rather than just -- because people say, they are just fooling around on be a ipad. are there studies that show that they are actually learning? >> we haven't done a lot of quantitative studies. we've done more qualitative work which is going into classrooms and hearing from classrooms

around the world about how their kids are changing their story-telling habits, how the structure is evolving and their oral literacy is developing and how they are learning about stories not just about things that they create but watching the stories of the other kids. story telling, as we know, from the day of caves, is our greatest tool. >> kids cannot only share them with the kids in the classroom but you can connect to kids around the world and see other types of stories. is that correct? >> yes. there's a whole global community with the toon tube. when a child submits is on to toon toube, they can go to san francisco and see what kids think and we in turn can see what kids in japan are saying in their stories. it's a global sharing platform as well. >> now, the only concern i would say, there are some parents that

will say, this is great for kids that have access to technology. but your kids may have access to these kinds of things but so many kids don't have access to technology. how can we help bridge that gap to make sure that all kids have access to something that clearly is fun and educational at the same time? >> well. >> it doesn't necessarily have to be one to one. laptop programs develop one laptop for kids in the classroom. that's cost prohibitive. with devices we can one, two, three, four kids creating content together and that's really nice. >> the nice thing about toontastic, they will have three or four different kids moving around on the screen like would you with a doll house. and it's very -- >> fun. >> yeah, fun. >> i love it. i have a great idea. i'd love to have my kids check it out.

it's free? >> it is free right now. >> free. sounds fantastic. thank you for being with us today. >> thank you, jessica. when we come back, what is happening to our tween girls? ho

welcome back. amy is a registered nurse who leads mother-daughter workshops in the bay area. she studies boys and girls, particularly around the sensitive middle school years. she's here to talk about self-esteem and how low self-esteem can have a negative impact on the learning and negative aspirations as well. look at this. fourth grade is the peak year for girls' self-esteem. between fifth and ninth grade, gifted girls hide their accomplishments when they figure

out that smart is not seen as sexy. looking at that, it's sad to hear that a fourth grader, that a little girl at that age would peak at herself-esteem that goes down hill from there. that's when you should be learning more about yourself and learning to love yourself, right? >> right. and it is sad. the truth is, fourth grade girls are at their peak and then they begin to see more and more of what the culture is teaching them and what young girls grow into women. >> too much -- >> yes, oversexualized and too much emphasis on beauty and outward appearances and that becomes outward important in their lives because that's fed to them through television, electronic media and through a lot of people around them, unfortunately. >> and they get it from the other girls and things are happening with the boys. they start to go off to middle school.

why is that transition from elementary school to middle school so important? >> because they are beginning to ask who am i and am i okay? when they start to answer questions about themselves, as culture feeds them images, there's no way that they can look as perfect as the photo shopped image from the magazines that they are looking at, they answer the questions, is that i'm not okay. so they see themselves as less than. i'm not enough. and that impacts them in a terribly negative way. >> right. and especially also in the middle school you have the culture also of some of the girls that are the pretty girls getting the most of attention and you draw conclusions about that. if i want attention, this is the way i have to get it? >> sure. they begin to experiment with popularity and these group dynamics are changing and there's a culture of conformity. they have to look and act and want how everybody else looks

and acts. >> what are the factors that can alter that and change the course of that and change that self-esteem route? >> well, i think it has to come very deliberately from the people who love the girl. and if a girl can help to start deconstruct the message of the culture, that beauty doesn't look like the magazine culture, real beauty comes from character traits, from within, all of those wonderful things, help her find her own strength and live into those, that's one way to start. so deconstruct the message, give her an alternative message he the third thing that we can all do, continue to give her healthy messages and it's a life-long task. >> how much -- how important it is it how we model as women, those other women important in the girl's life, how we model what we say about ourselves, how we think about ourselves? we have to walk -- you know, you

have to walk the talk, correct? >> absolutely. so if you and i have a daughter, we have to be very careful how we represent ourselves, how we talk about our weight, our looks, the things that we like about ourselves. >> other women? >> other women, absolutely. it's just critical that we -- and then we need to help her know other real women, women with wonderful real character traits, who are successful in different aspects of their lives and have her get to really know them and understand that's what being a successful and a beautiful woman is really all about and that's what we want for her. >> right. i have to say, you and i know each other because my daughter went to one of your brownie growing up female sessions that you had and i think one of the things that was most critical, even though we were talking about learning about your body, the thing most critical in that for me was that you insisted to the girls about having a female connection with friends and also with an older woman in your life

that women are bound together by our experience of being female, maybe in a way that men really aren't. >> yes. and i think it's critical. that's why i do mother-daughter events. girls need to understand that they are fundamentally different as girls and they will grow into women and they will always have that connection with other women. we share biology. we share hormonal challenges and differences. and we need to be connected. it's a biological sort of hard-wired thing. we need each other. and it's different than what the tv shows are showing. >> it is wa interesting, when you did the session, one of the things that we all realized as women is that because of the experience, we all are interconnected and we all want the same thing for our children. >> yes. >> it's the same thing. so then the transition to high school. how does that also change a girl? and how important is it you hear a lot of statistics if she's in

sports or passionate about something, give them as a vehicle for that changes a girl's self-esteem as well? >> absolutely. sports is a wonderful activity for girls to be involved in, to feel good about her body and self-image. you want to make sure she has a good coach, though. that could have a huge impact. there are other things. not all girls want to play sports. there's the scouting movement, all kinds of other activities. a lot of girls like dance, some girls like cheer. some girls want to ride horses and become really great equestrians. so it's really up to the girl. what is it that she has a passion about? and that's the best way to build herself-esteem, by connecting her with activities that she can excel and feel good about. >> what about when she says, i'm fat, i need to lose weight, i don't like this about my body? the tendency is to say, don't be

ridiculous. that's silly? but that's is that the right answer or how are we supposed to handle something like that? >> we have to listen to what the message is that our daughter is giving us and we each should be on a campaign to build her up on a regular basis about her body image. if people go to my website, they will find i have an article 52 ways to boost your daughter's body image and they are mother daughter activities. 52 ways. one for every week of the year because it takes that much effort and time to actually boost a girl. >> and lastly, quickly, what role does the father play in this? >> his role is critical. how he treats women, how he treats his daughter, she's going to be watching. and if he respects women, if he's very respectful of his daughter's privacy and her sense of adventure and the things that she's interested in, he can really help her boost her sense of self and give her adventure, take her out, help her do things that maybe she wouldn't have a chance to do. dads are really good at that. it's a critical role.

>> it takes a village of women to be able to bring our daughters and to stay connected. >> it does. >> thank you so much. i love your workshops. if you haven't been to one, they are really fantastic. it was a great bonding experience. i really enjoyed it. check out your website as well. coming up, you're going to be blown away from some winning middle school students.

okay. check it out. last weekend more than 700 students competed in a competition at san jose state. we are very excited now to be joined by four winners from that competition. and the winning project. so let's meet them. andres, sarah, isabel, miguel, all part of the middle school students in san jose. christine is with us as well. she's the director of the program at san jose state. mesa stands format met particulars, engineering, science, achievement. congratulations to all of you. christina, i have to tell you that we found out about m.e.s.a. and the competition through our facebook page that someone told you about your accomplishments and we're very excited to have you here. before we get to the kids and

before we get to the fantastic windmill device, tell me a little bit about what m.e.s.a. is and what the goal of it is. >> i'm based out of san jose state. we work with educationally disadvantaged students from junior high to high school. we get them interested through hands-on activity and develop them, give them leadership skills so they can then move on to college because what we want eventually for them is to go into college in the science technology, engineering, and math fields. >> which statistically speaking when we look at the numbers, latino kids are not interested and not doing well in math but these kids are. you are getting them involved. why is it so critical to try to stem this achievement gap with the kids? >> if you look at the statistics, stem has a leaky faucet. so we get kids interested in maybe elementary age and high school age. when we see engineering
