Abstract: We show that for $alphain(2/3,7/10)$, the log canonical model $$ of the pair $$ is isomorphic to the moduli space $$ of h-semistable curves, and that there is a birational morphism $$ that contracts the locus of curves $C_{1}cu{p}_p{C}_2$ consisting of genus two curves meeting in a node $p$ such that $p$ is a Weierstrass point of $C_1$ or $C_2$. To obtain this morphism, we construct a compact moduli space $$ of pointed genus two curves that have nodes, ordinary cusps and tacnodes as singularity, and prove that it is isomorphic to Rulla's flip constructed in his thesis.
