It's a Tuesday afternoon, and the "library," as Greg Boehm's office is known, is hopping. In the high-ceilinged, sixth-floor office space partitioned off from the rest of his Mud Puddle Books headquarters, there's a sudden torrent of clinks and clangs. Boehm has just spread out his collection of antique and foreign barspoons onto a hulking antique table already cluttered with stacks of books, bottles of obscure bitters, jiggers of assorted contours and an empty coffee cup. Michael McIlroy and Michael Madrusan, two bartenders who work at Manhattan cocktail lounge Milk & Honey (Madrusan also tends bar at Little Branch), scrutinize each tool, checking weight and assessing ergonomic qualities. It's like watching a team of biologists examine rare species of spiders just discovered in a remote Brazilian rainforest.
"Look at this bad boy—you can hang it on the side," marvels McIlroy as he balances the antique, dulled spoon on the rim of a Boston shaker by its attached hook. He picks up a shinier one from the pile. "After a night of stirring, your hands get really rough and calloused," he says, running his fingers over the tightly wound coils of a barspoon from Japan. "That wouldn't happen as much with this." The spoon is one that Boehm's importing and selling through his website, cocktailkingdom.com. Until now, it's been virtually impossible to get in the U.S. Same goes for a number of the other thoughtfully curated bar tools that make up the online store: From Japan come dasher bottles, squat yet elegant ice picks and an aerodynamic Boston shaker with a footed bottom; from Germany, a slim, graceful mixing glass and sleek, retro-futuristic shaker.
Boehm handles the praise with equanimity. Even so, it's clear he shares his guests' enthusiasm. He holds up a heavy-bottomed Yarai mixing glass from Japan, which has a chiseled cross-hatch pattern and a pour-spout. "These are amazing," he says matter-of-factly. "The weight on this is sick." He sets the glass on the crowded table with a thunk, noting how difficult it is to acquire such pieces. Little surprise, then, that Boehm's first shipment was sold out weeks before it first arrived in the spring. The stock was gone in five days, before he even sent out an e-mail announcing the stuff was coming; the second order was gone in a week.
If bartenders are the players on the stage, the ones who deliver the performance and high drama, then Boehm is the dramaturge, toiling behind the scenes to select a script, offer cues for historical context and now, provide a link with a props department. At first glance, Boehm seems like an unlikely candidate for such a position. After all, up until a year ago, Mud Puddle was known primarily for its line of children's books and activity sets. Boehm started that business in 2003 after selling his family's publishing house, Sterling Publishing Co., Inc., to Barnes and Noble. Sterling owns the North American rights to The Guinness Book of World Records (Boehm's grandfather was among the judges) and Kevin Zraly's Windows on the World Complete Wine Course, which remains one of the best-selling instructive wine books. It also publishes the American editions of all of the cocktail books by celebrated London bartender Salvatore Calabrese. Boehm got to know Calabrese about a decade ago. Sitting at the Library Bar in London's Lanesborough Hotel, he became enamored with the formality and richness of history on display.
When Boehm returned to the States, though, he couldn't find anything comparable. "Ten years ago, there weren't good cocktail bars in the U.S.," he says. "There weren't orange bitters on the market. The Internet barely existed." But as the eBay phenomenon grew, Boehm began hunting down vintage cocktail guides—the more obscure, the better. His first finds were Paul E. Lowe's 1904 book, How to Mix Drinks, How to Serve; The Bartender's Guide, and The Home Bartender's Guide and Song Book, a volume from 1930 by Charlie Rowe and Jim Schwenck. Such acquisitions, along with the realization that so many other like-minded people were interested in these books, inspired the idea of making facsimiles of some of the most sought-after vintage cocktail manuals. Boehm's approach toward these reproductions borders on obsessive. He strives for exactitude in not just the text of his reprints, but in their appearance and feel, too: the weight of the paper, the color of the jacket. "For me, it comes from a really ugly reproduction of an Al Hirschfeld book about speakeasies," he explains. "I was riding the subway with the original with the dust jacket on—it was probably worth about $1,000. I had the ugly paperback in the office as well, but I didn't like carrying it. If you're gonna do reproductions, you've got to do them so you have something you want to hold and carry. Holding them gives a sense of history as well. And because I have a good production team, it wasn't impossible to think I could do accurate reproductions."
Working from his own massive collection, he selected six titles for the initial launch in the summer of 2008, selling them via his website. He followed those up with the unveiling of six more volumes this past summer, including Hugo R. Ensslin's Recipes for Mixed Drinks, the last major publication to come out before Prohibition, and Artistry of Mixing Drinks—"a real Art Deco period piece and one of the most beautiful cocktail books," Boehm says.
At the time, Boehm considered the project an amusing diversion; he was quoted in The New York Times saying that if he managed to break even, he'd consider the books a success. While that still hasn't happened, the response from the cocktail community has kept Boehm's enthusiasm intact. When he's not traveling, he spends a great deal of time in bars around New York, chatting with bartenders. If he can't answer their questions about when a drink first came about, he may whip out his laptop and open the database he created that chronicles where iconic drink recipes first appeared. "He's not your average customer," says Don Lee, who manages the bar at Momofuku Ssäm and was one of Cocktail Kingdom's earliest customers. "He's not a cocktail geek trying to play Stump the Bartender or show off how much he knows. More often than not, I end up asking him questions. He's always got the numbers or dates off the top of his head. The sheer amount of information he knows is ridiculous."
This interplay is largely how the foreign barware undertaking came about. "He's bringing in tools that we've always wanted or envy when we see others using them," says Daniel Eun, a veteran of PDT in New York who now tends bar at The Varnish in Los Angeles. "Like the ice picks from Japan—we've all seen Stanislav [Vadrna] do his ice lecture," he says, referring to the renowned Slovakian bartender who trained in Japan and conducts demos on how to create carved ice for cocktails. "To do these things, though, you need the right tools."
To find those tools, Boehm has leveraged the international connections he built up while sourcing the materials for Mud Puddle's activity kits. "He has a certain amount of flair for knowing how to communicate with people who don't speak your language and how to interpret certain business styles in other cultures," says Alan Carr, art director at Mud Puddle. "He has an acute, well-tuned sense of how to make things happen, the necessary persistence and appreciation for how other cultures do business."
In person, Boehm is deceptively mellow. Soft-spoken and scruffy-chinned, he has a penchant for loose-fitting jeans and those snap-button, flower-patterned shirts that were de rigueur in the early 1970s. His voice stays resolutely low-key, his attitude sedate, even as his collection contradicts that nonchalance: more than 2,400 books dating back as early as 1676. That includes every printing of the Mr. Boston bartender's guides through the 1970s and 17 different editions of The Savoy Cocktail Book.
It's not just a collection; it's a working library, one that bartenders access by appointment only. This Tuesday afternoon, which comes weeks before the annual Tales of the Cocktail event in New Orleans and days before the arrival of a new batch of barware, an uncommonly large contingent has arrived for some research. Gianfranco Verga, bar manager at Louis 649, is looking for the dates of the first published recipes of numerous cocktails appearing on his next menu. Nathan Dumas and Brad Farran have come in from the Clover Club in Brooklyn to browse the shelves. And McIlroy and Madrusan, both making their maiden voyages, peruse the bar tools.
Upon arrival, each guest receives a personal orientation to the collection, which is shelved in chronological order. "Basically, it starts here with the 1600s," Boehm commences, reaching to a rough wooden shelf and offering a slender, tattered book titled A Treatise of Cider. Then he opens the doors on a modern oyster-white shelving unit to reveal rows of weathered, slightly faded tomes. He continues through the centuries, stopping at his several editions of the book that changed it all ("Obviously, in 1862, we have Jerry Thomas") and traveling on to the upheaval of the late 1920s, when American bartenders moved overseas and books from European publishing houses dominate. "Then Prohibition ends and it just explodes," Boehm continues, sweeping his hand before the relevant books. "Lots of terrible books start coming out. Then Harry Johnson's Bartenders' Manual from 1900 is published in 1934 again." And so on. From start to finish, you're likely to hear the word "rare" more frequently than if you spent a week in a steakhouse.
That's to say nothing of the mugs, strainers, jiggers and liquor bottles that dapple the bookshelves. These last include a few vessels of one of Boehm's other longtime obsessions, rum, as well as a bottle of Poland Spring Gin and enough intriguing vermouth to make Winston Churchill cringe. And just as with his books, these bottles are meant to be used. "I don't collect bottles, I drink them," Boehm says. "I drank a 1917 American whiskey bottled in 1932. It's so interesting—I'm never sure what I'm learning. Is that what they drank then? Did it change over time?"
"The thing with Greg is: He's a nerd," says Lee. "He has exacting standards. He's not interested in dabbling or doing anything halfway. He's going to do something so well that no one else is even going to try to do it, because they can't do it as well as he has, with that much care and time and effort."
"He's just a guy and this is what he loves to do," says McIlroy. "I don't really understand—about a year and a half ago he kind of came out of nowhere. … He could keep [his books] for himself locked up somewhere, but instead he lets everyone know: 'Come in, look around, they're here.' "

In Energy Efficiency Program Options for Local Governments under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) presents profiles of more than 40 municipal energy efficiency programs as a guide for cities and counties preparing to implement federally funded energy efficiency and conservation plans.
"The passage of the ARRA economic stimulus package was the largest single investment in energy efficiency to date, and the first time federal money has been directed specifically to municipal energy efficiency efforts," said ACEEE policy researcher Michael Sciortino, referring to the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) program included in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). "It is essential that local governments use proven program models like those featured in this report to ensure success."
The full report is free from this Web site (registration required) and can be purchased for $25 plus $5 postage and handling from ACEEE Publications, 529 14th St. N.W., Suite 600, Washington, D.C. 20045, phone 202.507.4017.
Cities and counties have long been active developers of successful energy efficiency programs, and with the release of EECBG funds, local governments are poised to further their critical role. The report examines a number of innovative energy efficiency programs implemented by American towns and cities prior to the passage of ARRA. The EECBG program will dispense more than $3 billion to cities and states, creating jobs while improving U.S. energy efficiency through a variety of initiatives, including building retrofits, incentives, and audit programs. Some block grant recipients have already received funding to execute their chosen "shovel-ready" projects; however, many cities and towns are still waiting to put project plans into action.
"The EECBG program is an opportunity for all municipalities to become leaders in energy efficiency," said Sarah Black, report lead author. "This report provides concrete examples of how American towns and cities can take action now to launch innovative and meaningful programs that save energy and create jobs."
ACEEE is an independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing energy efficiency as a means of promoting economic prosperity, energy security, and environmental protection.

In her secound-round loss to 18th seed Shahar Peer, the Cher of tennis — Bethanie Mattek — wore a slightly more tame silver top and headband from the Bebe Sport collection.
We're all probably better off, but I was really curious to see what the other two outfits were… More metallic shades, perhaps?

Part 3: Illusions of Emptiness
Part 4: Industrial Speleology
Part 5: Ascent
Gate - Sekai
Gate is an experiment in improvised music by Lajos Ishibashi-Brons, a Dutch philosopher and musician living in Japan. The name of the project, 'Gate', summarizes its intended nature: a gate is in between, in between inside and outside, between here and there, between now and then; and a gate is a passageway, both an entrance and an exit, and a point where paths cross. The symbol |˟˟| is a simplification of the 'broken gate radical' 鬥, which (on its own) is a Chinese character meaning 'struggle', representing another core theme of the project: dissonance, discomfort, distress.
We have asked Lajos his thoughts about his new album on Fluttery Records:
"Bury your romantic proclivities for harmony, for order, for purpose. All of that is illusion, paint. Look at the world, listen. There is beauty in discord, dissonance, disorder, destruction, decay, corruption, contrast, arbitrariness. Life is discord, life is destruction, randomness, change. Look at the world, look at the power- lines, open-pit mines, rivers and lakes, factories and power plants, mountains and roads, buildings and forests, trash dumps and oceans. Look at them clash, interpenetrate, infest, defile. Look at the transformation of landscapes. Look at the haphazard collections of streets and buildings, and at the people living in them. Look at the dirt, the mess, the disharmony. Just look: it's beautiful. And listen. Open your eyes and ears. Listen to the sounds of the world, to the crashing, grinding, and banging. Embrace the dissonance, the discomfort, the randomness. Those are our sounds, our world. Listen. And travel in sound."
The new album by Gate, "Sekai" (世界, 'world'), is a mix of four layers of solo improvisation on multiple instruments, one of those layers being a mix itself. The four layers resulted from four recording sessions. The first and longest of these was focused on creating loops, drones, and background noise. Selected material from this session was arranged on the four audio tracks that together form layer 1. Layers 2 to 4 were added one after the other by means of improvisation while listening to the previously recorded layers. These sessions were exactly as long as the finished recording (i.e. 69 minutes and 2 seconds), and no edits or changes to the session recordings were made other than volume adjustments (and a bit of reverb in case of layers 2 and 3). For layers 2 and 3, only acoustic instruments were used (and thus no effects or other electronics). Session 4 made use of electric instruments and a number of effects.
Instruments used include Bassanxi, a four-string instrument (tuned like a bass) combining design elements from both the guzheng (古箏) and huqin (胡琴) families of instruments; Chaĭlaazkhuur, a tea can with a neck, fingerboard, and one string; Hichiriki (篳篥), a traditional Japanese double reed instrument used mainly in Gagaku (雅楽), Japanese classical music; Sousen, an electric string instrument used for sound effects and noises; and Zarazara, a small box with short pieces of bass B-string attached on one end for creating crackling and other noises. Except Hichiriki, all of these instruments were designed and built especially for this project.
"Sekai" comes in two editions. The Original (White) Edition is the original 69 minutes, four-layered session, as it was created and as it was and is intended to be heard. The Black Edition is a remix, cutting up the original in 5 parts each between 12 and 17 minutes. The Black Edition is only available as a download.

( filesystem check )
Every 20 to 30 times you boot up your computer, after an improper shutdown or power-faillure, the system will perform a filesystem check.
In most cases no problem, however, sometimes in rare cases it may ask you if you want to repair inconsistencies; you press "y" and "Enter" a few times and it will proceed booting.
In some very rare cases it will tell you that you have to do a manual fsck and give you a prompt: ( Now you have to know what partition ( hda? ) was the critical one ! )
# fsck -p /dev/hda?(replace the "?" with the number of the partition ) The "-p" stands for repair automatically.
# e2fsck -f /dev/hda?(replace the "?" with the number of the partition ) e2fsck is a modern, more powerfull version of fsck. The "-f" option forces a more elaborate check.
Sometimes however the system tells you to do the check without the "-p" argument, this just means you will have to say "y" a lot of times !
In some very, very rare cases an emergency console will come up, just do the above at the prompt and when done close the console with < Ctrl+d >, the system will continue booting.
If you get these errors often:
# e2fsck -c /dev/hda?
( This will mark bad blocks on your HD and no more data will be written in those blocks. )
( !!! fsck and e2fsck should only be performed on unmounted partitions !!!! )
In very, very, very rare cases a "Super-Block" might get damaged:
( First make some strong coffee ! )
A super-block is the first block of each ext2 or ext3 partition. It has important data about the file system, like size, free space, etc.
A partition with a damaged super-block cannot be mounted. But, ext2 and ext3 keep several super-block backup copies scattered over the partition.
Boot your system with a boot disk. ( I hope you did make one ! ) The location of the super-block backup copies depends on the block size of the file system.
For file systems with 1 KB block size it is at the beginning of each 8 KB (8192 bytes), for file systems with 2 KB sizes it is at the beginning of each 16 KB (16384 bytes) and so on.
You can use
# mke2fs -n /dev/hda?
to find out at which byte positions the super-block copies are. With a 1 KB block size, the first backup copy is in byte number 8193 ( 8192+1 ).
To restore the super-block from this copy, do
# e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/hda?
If that block also happens to be damaged, try the next one at byte number 16385, and so on until you find a good one.
Reboot to activate the changes.

The job of finding a job: Westport writer's experiences chart the road back in new book
Sometimes what feels like the end is just the beginning.
That was the case for Dwain Schenck, whose new book, "Reset: How to Beat the Job-Loss Blues and Get Ready for Your Next Act," not only launched his career in a new direction, but revitalized his spirits, as well.
The story began in 2012 when Schenck, who lives in Westport with his wife and three children, was let go from his job at MasterCard, where he was vice president of public relations for U.S. markets. "I had never been let go before, and I thought it would be fairly easy for me to come back into the job market," he said.
But things did not proceed as he had anticipated, and like millions of others facing the fickle fallout of the economic slump, Schenck struggled to get back on his feet.
"After a couple of months of looking, I started to realize this is like no other time in history," he said. Like others, he suffered the range of ragged emotions shared by middle-aged people in the same predicament.
"I've lost all self-confidence," he said. "I have no skills. I'm a complete failure and I'm never going to get hired again. These were the feelings that I was going through."
Fortunately, Schenck's longtime friend, Mika Brzezinski -- author and co-host of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program, gave him some game-changing advice. "We were having dinner and I was telling her about my problems finding a job. ... She told me, `You need to write about it, because that's one of your major skillsets.' "
"His ability to put it into words in our private conversations made me realize that this man was made to write this book," said Brzezinski, who had experienced similar frustrations during her own period of unemployment years earlier. In fact, she shares about some of them in the lengthy foreword she wrote for "Reset."
"What Dwain was saying about his experience was something that resonated so deeply with me during my time as an unemployed person," she said. "I knew that our story was repeated millions of times over around the country -- far worse and far better depending on the case -- but the basic feelings and the psychology of losing your job was the same."
Dan Ambrosio, senior editor at Da Capo Press/Lifelong Books, said that while there are other books on the market with advice on ways to hone job-hunting skills, Schenck offers readers a personal approach that's unique.
"While `Reset' certainly offers timely, helpful tactics ... Dwain's approach is much more heartfelt, as he opens up about his own experience with a period of unemployment," he said. "We feel that readers will appreciate how `Reset' does not flinch in exploring the realities of job loss, as Dwain shares not only his own experiences, but the experiences of others, including both celebrities and everyday professionals when it comes to your family, finances and overall well-being."
Not only does Schenck recount his struggles to regain his economic footing, but he includes the words and wisdom of successful professionals, including Donald Trump, comedian Larry David, publisher Christie Hefner, real estate tycoon Mort Zuckerman and ad exec Donny Deutsch.
"I think if you put some of the things in the book to work for you, you'll probably land in a better place quicker in the end," Schenck said. "I mean, the advice is really great."
Schenck has also created a website, which not only introduces the book, but affords people the chance to get involved with activities and job-related features.
"I think the message is, this book will help you navigate one of the hardest times of your life," he said.
Schenck plans to discuss his new book during an appearance Feb. 22 at 2 p.m. at the Barnes & Noble bookstore, 1076 Post Road E.
The website for his book is www.resetyourfuture.com.

Birding at the Museum: Great Diorama Artists main content.

Did you know that you can bird-"watch" inside the Museum? Four new videos on amnh.tv introduce viewers to the diversity of bird habitat groups, or dioramas, and the history of ornithology at the Museum. This post highlights the third video, about some of the great bird artists over the years at the Museum.
Throughout the 20th century, artists specializing in birds traveled to the field, where they were able to capture precisely the animals' colors and movements for the background paintings of the Museum's dioramas.
As long-time exhibition artist Stephen C. Quinn explains in a new video, artists including painters Louis Agassiz Fuertes (at the Museum in the early 20th century) and Francis Lee Jacques (at the Museum from 1924−1942) and taxidermist David Schwendeman (at the Museum from 1959−1987) used their talents to create stunningly real bird scenes throughout the Museum's permanent halls, not only in bird-centric halls like the Hall of Birds of the World and the Sanford Hall of North American Birds but also in the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life.
Watch the video.

Searching Tips & Tricks
Put your keyword in the box to the left under "search" and then click:
Should I Search or Should I Go?
Here is what happens if you try to find "art" on meritbadge.org:
- ART goes directly to Art Merit Badge but does not give you search results for the Cub Scout Art Belt Loop or Webelos Artist.
- ART says that meritbadge.org does not have the word "ART" on any page!
- To the Wikipedia Search, "ART" is not the same word as "Art", "art", "ARt", etc.
- Google Search meritbadge.org for "ART" to find Art, Cub Scout Art Belt Loop, Webelos Artist, and dozens of of other pages.
- The Google Search for "ART", "Art", "art", "ARt", etc. will find any page with of those capitalizations as well as Artist.
Expand or narrow your search
- Use the asterisk "*" wildcard to expand your search. "*" also removes many of the case match problems!
- art says that meritbadge.org does not have the word "art" on any page.
- art* finds Art, Cub Scout Art Belt Loop, Webelos Artist and dozens of other pages. The case match problem is gone."
- ART* also finds Art, Cub Scout Art Belt Loop, Webelos Artist and dozens of other pages.
- Put phrases in "quotes" to narrow your search.
- Family Life finds Family Life but also any page with the words "Family" or "Life"
- "Family Life" finds only pages with the phrase "Family Life"
Spelling errors
Say a Scout searches for "Geneology" instead of "Genealogy":
- Geneology says that meritbadge.org does not have a page on this merit badge.
- Geneology also says that meritbadge.org does not have a page on this merit badge.
- Google Search meritbadge.org for "Geneology" asks, Did you mean: Genealogy
- Click Genealogy to go to that page or dozens of others that reference "Genealogy".
How Search works
- Only the text on the page is searched - the page title is ignored.
- The article content is searched in its raw (wikitext) form - i.e. it searches the text that appears in the edit box when you click 'edit', not the rendered page. This means that content coming from an included template will not be picked up, but the target of piped links will be.
- Even if you enclose a phrase in quotes, the search looks for each word individually. e.g. if you enter "world war 2" it will return pages that contain "world" and "war" and "2".
- The search is not case-sensitive, so "MediaWiki", "mediawiki" and "MEDIAWIKI" all give the same result.
Restricting (or broadening) the search
- NOTE (and this is important): By default, only the namespaces specified in the "search" tab of your preferences will be searched. Logged-in users can change (and save) their preferences to specify the namespaces they want to search by default.
- You can also refer to help for setting your preferences.
- Or, if you just want to specify different namespaces for a single search then you can do so on the search results page.

Even as the global economic and geopolitical risks of the past few years recede, new ones are arising to take their place, economist Nouriel Roubini noted this week.
Among the fading risks of the past few years are: a Eurozone breakup, a U.S. fiscal crisis, a war between Iran and Israel, and widespread deflation in advanced economies.
However, they don't call Roubini "Dr. Doom" for nothing, and sure enough, he's found plenty of other fears to focus on.
They include:
1. The risk of a hard landing in China. The country's attempts to shift from fixed investment to private consumption keep failing because whenever GDP growth drops towards 7%, the Chinese government panics and starts spending again on dubious projects, creating more bad assets, real estate excesses, non-performing loans and so on, Roubini argues.
2. The Fed may raise rates too soon and cut off the recovery.
3. The Fed may raise rates too late and prompt another asset bubble.
4. Emerging markets may see their problems intensify, boosted by political and electoral risks.
5. The conflict in the Ukraine could lead to Cold War II, and potentially a hot war, if Russia invades the Ukrainian mainland.
6. Land disputes in Asia could escalate into direct military conflicts.

This is indeed a proud moment for the courts of the Second Circuit, and particularly the District Court for the Southern District of New York, the oldest district court in the nation – the Mother Court as we like to call it – and the principal occupant of this magnificent courthouse."
Visitors may view the exhibition, New York's Moynihan, located in the lobby of the courthouse. Using seven pillars, the exhibition reports faithfully the life and the distinguished career of Daniel Patrick Moynihan - the Senator, the Man, the New Yorker, the Diplomat, the Presidential Cabinet Member, the Intellectual and the Author. It is part of a larger exhibition presented by The Museum of the City of New York. Contact or visit the Office of the District Executive, located on the eighth floor of the courthouse, to obtain more information about the exhibit.

I learned about the existence of Eduxtive yesterday and I foresee that I will be spending a lot of time on this site in the coming days. The site has more than 1000 educational games for kids of all ages – from simple coloring and reading games for preschoolers to algebra games for teenagers. Most importantly, there are dozens of room escape games. I consider that important because I love room escape games.
In case you are not familiar with the term, room escape games are a kind of game where you are trapped inside a place (such as a room or a house) and you have to look for things around you and figure out how to use them in order to find an exit. So, yeah, you will have to MacGyver your way out of there.
I tried one I found in Eduxtive called Escape from Bathroom. It attracted my attention because I found the title and the concept humorous.

Donald Kagan, Renowned Scholar, Author, and Classicist, to Deliver the 2005 Jefferson Lecture in the Humanities
Donald Kagan, Sterling Professor of Classics and History at Yale University and author of numerous books and articles on Greek history and international relations, will deliver the 2005 Jefferson Lecture in the Humanities, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) announced today. The annual NEH-sponsored Jefferson Lecture is the highest honor the federal government bestows for distinguished intellectual achievement in the humanities.
"Through his many influential books on the history of the classical world, Donald Kagan illuminates the foundations of modern civilization for students and other readers," said NEH Chairman Bruce Cole. "And with lessons offered by the ancient Greeks, he provides both compelling analysis of modern international affairs and clear evidence for the importance of knowing history."
Kagan will present the 34th Jefferson Lecture in the Humanities on Thursday, May 12, 2005, at 7:30 p.m. in Washington, D.C. The lectureship carries a $10,000 honorarium.
Since 1969 Kagan has taught at Yale, and during his tenure there he has served as chairman and later acting chairman of the Classics Department, master of Timothy Dwight College, acting director of athletics, and dean of Yale College.
Kagan is known for his scholarship on war in the classical world and his commentary on the challenges faced by contemporary America. As dean of Yale College from 1989-92, he was a nationally prominent advocate for a core curriculum. He is the author of a celebrated four-volume history of the Peloponnesian War. His recent books include Pericles of Athens and the Birth of Democracy (1991), On the Origins of War and the Preservation of Peace (1995), While America Sleeps: Self-Delusion, Military Weakness, and the Threat to Peace Today (2000, with Frederick W. Kagan), and The Peloponnesian War (2003), a one-volume history of the war. He also has published numerous articles and commentary for The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and The Public Interest.
Born in Lithuania in 1932, Kagan earned his bachelor's degree from Brooklyn College, his master's degree in classics from Brown University, and his doctoral degree in history from Ohio State University in 1958. He also holds honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degrees from the University of New Haven and Adelphi University. Before coming to Yale in 1969, Kagan held faculty positions at Pennsylvania State University and Cornell University. From 1988-93, Kagan served as a member of the National Council on the Humanities. He has won numerous awards and fellowships, including four teaching awards at Cornell and Yale. President George W. Bush also presented him with a 2002 National Humanities Medal. He currently lives in Hamden, Conn., with his wife, Myrna.
Attendance at the lecture is by invitation and free. Those interested in receiving an invitation should call (202) 606-8400 or send an e-mail message to @email.

Timely Warnings
Safety Advisory
In the event that a crime is reported on The University of Akron campus, or on public property surrounding campus, and in the judgment of The University of Akron Police Department (UAPD) that crime constitutes a serious or on-going threat to the campus community, a Safety Advisory is issued by the University. The purpose of a Safety Advisory is to provide to individuals information about the incident that will: enable persons to protect themselves; heighten safety awareness; aid in the prevention of similar crimes; and, seek information that will lead to an arrest and conviction of the perpetrator.
Whether an incident triggers the need for a Safety Advisory is considered on a case-by-case basis. Factors that are considered include:
- the type of alleged crime (including whether the offense is a Clery reportable offense);
- the facts of the incident (including where and when the incident occurred);
- when the incident was reported; and,
- the extent of information known by UAPD.
(For example, if an assault occurs between two students who have a disagreement, there may be no ongoing threat to other University of Akron community members and a Safety Advisory would not be necessary. In cases involving sexual assault, if the report of the assault is reported long after the incident occurred, there may not be the ability to distribute a "timely" warning notice to the community.)
Every attempt will be made to distribute a Safety Advisory soon after the incident is reported; however, the release of the Safety Advisory is subject to the availability of facts concerning the incident. The decision to issue an advisory will be made by the University's Assistant Vice President for Campus Safety/Police Chief or designee, with notice to:
- the Senior Vice President,
- Provost,
- the leader of the student affairs division and
- the chief communications officer.
Other University offices may be consulted as necessary.
Safety Advisories are distributed to students, and employees via a broadcast e-mail and are posted on the University's Safety website.
Safety Advisory e-mails typically include:
- A succinct statement of the incident,
- Possible connection to previous incidents, if applicable,
- Date and time the bulletin was released,
- Other relevant and important information,
- Appropriate safety tips, and
- Physical description of the suspect, when sufficient detail exists to help identify suspects or groups of suspects. Such detail may include a combination of gender, race, clothing, height, body type, build, accent, tattoos, hair color, facial hair, or other unique identifying characteristics.
Safety Advisories shall not include the names of victims.
Emergency Notification and Response
Emergency Messaging System – Notification of an Immediate Threat
The University of Akron maintains multiple systems for alerting the University about campus emergencies, including via cell phone text messages and email. These notices also post to the University website. The University of Akron Text Messaging System is available to all University students, faculty, and staff. Enroll in UA's free emergency, text-messaging service: http://www.uakron.edu/safety/z-alert.dot
In addition, in the case of an emergency the University can activate an announcement via a public announcement system and can communicate with many buildings through voice announcements from the UAPD dispatch center to individual building fire alarms systems. The university also may elect to alert the media to obtain assistance in disseminating information.
Emergency messaging primarily will be used for situations that pose an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees on campus or for an event that necessitates the closing of an entire campus (e.g., severe weather, chemical spills, fires and crime.) Emergency messages about criminal activity generally will not be sent unless it is decided that there is an imminent threat of danger. In those cases where a crime has been reported and UAPD determines that although there is no immediate threat, the crime still represents a serious or ongoing threat to the campus community, a Timely Warning/Safety Advisory will be issued.
The emergency messaging system is provided in addition to existing emergency notification procedures and does not replace or eliminate any other emergency notification system (e.g., fire alarms, tornado sirens.) The University will provide follow-up information to the community as appropriate, including via the University's website.
Emergency Notification Procedures
If UAPD confirms there is an immediate and imminent threat to the health or safety of some or all of the members of the campus community (e.g. tornado, criminal activity), UAPD may direct its police dispatch to send a text message and to activate the indoor and outdoor audible warning systems. In this scenario, UAPD will determine the content and audience for the message. If there is not an imminent threat of danger, but circumstances still warrant an emergency notification, UAPD may consult with the University Communications and Marketing (and other offices as necessary), which, in consultation with UAPD, will determine the content of the message and will use some or all of the methods described above to communicate to the campus community or appropriate segment of the campus community.
In either scenario, the University will, without delay and taking into account the safety of the community, determine the content of the emergency message (notification) and initiate the emergency messaging (notification) system, unless issuing a message (notification) will, in the professional judgment of UAPD or other responsible authorities, compromise efforts to assist a victim or to contain, respond to, or otherwise mitigate the emergency situation.
The warnings typically consist of the following elements: a short description and location of the incident; actions the recipient needs to take to avoid harm; and how follow-up information will be provided.
Emergency Notification v. Timely Warning
If there is an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees occurring on campus, The University of Akron will follow its Emergency Communication Procedures. No additional Safety Advisory (i.e. Timely Warning) based on the same circumstance will be issued. Follow-up information will be disseminated to the community as available and as needed.
Additional Communication
In the event of a significant on-campus emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students, faculty or staff, the University will also post information on its home page. University Communications and Marketing is charged with notifying the media in the event of an emergency. Updated information will be posted to the University's website and provided to the media as available.
Annual Publication
General information about the University's response and evacuation procedures is publicized each year as part of its Campus Safety Report, which is published as part of its compliance with the Clery Act.
Emergency Response Procedures and Testing Emergency Response/Evacuation Procedures
Emergency Response Procedures
The University of Akron has established a Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) to provide an all-hazards approach for managing its response to emergencies or disasters that threaten the safety and well-being of the University's community or disrupt its programs and operations. The University also has established an Emergency Operations Group (EOG) to carry out its CEMP. These types of large-scale emergencies require a coordinated response effort between the University and local emergency response agencies. The CEMP is an operational plan that establishes policies, procedures, responsibilities and organizational structure to be implemented during emergencies and disasters, both during campus-wide emergency planning and during an actual emergency incident.
The CEMP shall be activated when circumstances indicate that there is a significant emergency or dangerous incident on campus. The first University safety force member that arrives on scene shall establish incident command over the radio and give a detailed overview of the situation, including: the type of incident; the number of people, vehicles or buildings involved; the number of injured people and type of injuries; and whether the situation presents an immediate threat to the health or safety of students and employees. If the situation presents an immediate threat, the University of Akron Police Department (UAPD) Dispatch Center, under the direction of the Assistant Vice President of Campus Safety - Chief of Police (or designee) and with notice to the Provost, is responsible for initiating the CEMP by immediately contacting the University's Chief Communication Officer (CCO) and Emergency Management Coordinator (EMC), who will coordinate the distribution of necessary notifications and activation of the Campus Emergency Operations Center.
In the event that the University President or Board of Trustees determines that unsafe conditions (i.e. the threat of serious injury to persons or extensive damage to property) exist as the result of a natural, human caused or technological disaster, the President (or designee) will immediately proclaim in writing the existence of a State of Emergency and the time of its occurrence. The President (or designee) shall issue a declaration to the campus community and public through the news media and such other means of dissemination consistent with Chapter 3345.26 of the Ohio Revised Code. Prior to the issuance of the emergency proclamation, the President should, if possible, consult with members of the UA Board of Trustees and Assistant Vice President of Campus Safety to discuss the proclamation of the State of Emergency. When proclaimed, the EOG Manager immediately shall notify the Summit County Emergency Management Agency (SCEMA).
Testing Emergency Response and Evacuation Procedures
The indoor and outdoor warning systems are tested regularly. E-mail, the telephone announcement line and the digital tools are in regular use. A text-only home page has been developed and it is ready to be activated if needed during an emergency. System tests are pre-announced. The campus is informed at the beginning of the academic year of the tests of both the indoor and outdoor warning system.
Campus safety services also conduct tests of emergency response procedures on at least an annual basis. The tests typically are announced. The Office of Environmental Health and Safety coordinates at least one announced or unannounced drill and exercise per year and conducts follow-through activities designed for the assessment and evaluation of emergency plans and capabilities, and documentation of the tests is maintained by the University's Office of Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety. The University also includes this description of Emergency Response procedures annually in its campus safety report and in conjunction with at least one test per year.
Evacuation drills are coordinated by EOHS each semester for all residence hall facilities. The purpose of evacuation drills is to prepare building occupants for an organized evacuation in case of an emergency. Evacuation routes are contained in the Student Staff Emergency Manual. Students are provided guidance about the direction they should travel when exiting each facility for a short term building evacuation. In addition the Student Staff Emergency Manual contains details and locations of the Community Check Points. Designated locations for long-term evacuations are affected by time of day, location of the building being evacuated, the availability of the various designated emergency gathering locations on campus, and other factors such as the location and nature of the threat. UAPD, Student Affairs staff and Residence Life staff on the scene will communicate information to students regarding the developing situation or any evacuation status changes. In addition to educating the occupants of each building about the evacuation procedures during the drills, the process also provides the University an opportunity to test the operation of fire alarm system components.
Evacuation drills for residence halls are monitored by EOHS and Student Affairs staff. Recommendations for improvements may be submitted to the appropriate departments/offices for consideration. The University of Akron has protocols for assisting people with different disabilities for safe evacuation .
Emergency Drills
Conducting emergency drills and exercises is integral piece of the Comprehensive Emergency Management Program at The University of Akron. Holding emergency management exercises offers opportunities to examine and strengthen our ability to respond to various emergencies. Information about previous exercised and after-action reports are available by contacting the Emergency Management Office at 330-972-6866.
|Date of Exercise
|Type of Exercise
|Announced or Unannounced
|Tabletop Exercise
|UA's Office of Emergency Management conducted a tabletop exercise (TTX) for the University's three emergency management groups Emergency Operations Group, Incident Management Team and Executive Management Group. The exercise was facilitated scenario-based discussion that focused on recovering from a single threat active shooter incident taking place in Bierce Library during the last day of academic classes of the spring semester. The purpose TTX was to validate procedures, policies, and agreements for recovering from an active shooter incident occurring at The University of Akron's Akron Campus.

San Miguel County commissioners said this week they would like to have a schedule for maintenance of the county's rural roads.
The county's top roads official said he could create such a schedule, as he has done before. But he warned that he couldn't make any promises on dates for maintenance.
At Tuesday's commission meeting, Chairman David Salazar asked Harold Garcia, the county's public works supervisor, to create such a schedule, so residents know when their roads are due for maintenance.

Queensland Police warn of tax refund phishing
Fake email mimics Australian Taxation Office formats
Queensland Police are warning residents of the Sunshine State about a new phishing scam that sees emails arrive in Australian Taxation Office (ATO) livery, complete with promise of a refund.
Such emails are, we imagine here in El RegM's antipodean eyrie, probably the only email one really wants to open from the ATO.
Queensland advise the email's subject line is' Subject: ID: 46 – Tax Refund Notice !' and that the scam unfurls as follows:
The email advises the recipient to wait 6-9 working days for their "refund" to be received and they are directed to click on a link which appears to start as a genuine "ato.gov.au" email address, but on closer inspection contains a "@hotmail.com" address within the link. The fraudsters tell the recipient they will record their IP address, date and time and threaten that deliberate wrong inputs are criminally pursued and persecuted. When directed to the website recipients are confronted with an authentic looking web page and are required to enter an array of identity details, credit card number, credit card estimated credit card balance and amongst other things to upload a scan of their driver's license.
The mail is, of course, a scam and no refund will be forthcoming. Instead, identity theft and unwanted credit card purchases await those who fall into this trap.
Detective Superintendent Brian Hay of the State Crime Operations Command's Fraud and Corporate Crime Group says "While fake emails like the ATO scam email are nothing new, people are still falling victim to it each day. This is very much a concern to us."
And to us, Detective Superintendent. And to us. ®

The Gunners moved to push through a deadline day deal, believed to be for £8.5million, after England defender Gibbs hobbled off in Wednesday night's Barclays Premier League 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Emirates Stadium with a thigh problem for which the left-back could be ruled out of action for possibly the best part of two months.
"Our scouts have followed his progress for a while and of course we had a blow with the Gibbs injury, which is a bit longer than expected," Wenger said ahead of Saturday's match against Stoke. "We expected two to three weeks, now it will be four to six, so we were in a position where we had to make a quick decision. That explains our buy."
Wenger continued: "I believe we need two left-backs. You cannot play every single game with the same player. We had two before, we have two again now.
"If Gibbs is out for four to six weeks, from six it can easily go to eight [before he is competitive again] and that means two months in a very decisive period, so it is vital to have another left back."
Monreal, 26, will be cup-tied for the Champions League having helped Malaga qualify for the knockout stages.
However, Wenger is in no doubt the Spaniard can have a big impact within the Gunners squad.
"We believe he can integrate our style of play and adapt very quickly to that," said Wenger.
"He has the characteristics to play our game because he is very mobile, has a good left foot and is very good in combination play. It is of course vital in our style of play."
Wenger has yet to decide whether Monreal will go straight into the side to face Stoke, but revealed midfielder Mikel Arteta could be back from his lay-off with a calf injury. Centre-back Thomas Vermaelen aggravated an ankle problem against Liverpool and will be assessed.

Court rejects claims by family members of U.S. drone strike victims
A federal court has rejected the claims of family members of Anwar al-Aulaqi and his teenage son, who were both slain by U.S. drone strikes.
In a 41-page opinion Friday, U.S. District Judge Rosemary Collyer offered some critical words for the Obama administration's handling of the case while still concluding the relatives couldn't pursue damage remedies from administration officials.
"(Officials) must be trusted and expected to act in accordance with the U.S. Constitution when they intentionally target a U.S. citizen abroad at the direction of the President and with the concurrence of Congress," Collyer wrote. "They cannot be held personally responsible in monetary damages for conducting war."
Collyer did reject the Obama administration's aggressive argument that courts shouldn't even consider the lawsuit, noting that "the Bill of Rights was passed to protect individuals from an over-reaching government, and this Court cannot refuse to provide an independent legal analysis."
Nonetheless, Collyer concluded "no available remedy under U.S. law" existed for the grieving loved ones.
Anwar Al-Aulaqi, whose name is sometimes seen as Anwar al-Awlaki, was a leader of al-Qa'ida in the Arabian Peninsula, and killed with a drone strike in Yemen on Sept. 30, 2011. The missile also killed Samir Khan, who was riding in the same vehicle. Both men were U.S. citizens. Two weeks later, on Oct. 14, 2014, the United States killed more men in Yemen with a drone missile. While this second drone targeted someone else, it killed was Abdulrahman Al-Aulaqi, Anwar Al-Aulaqi's teenage son.
They were Americans. As Collyer summed up:
Anwar Al-Aulaqi, was born in 1971 in New Mexico. He moved to Yemen with his parents in 1978, but later returned to attend Colorado State University. He obtained a Master's Degree from San Diego State University and enrolled in a Ph.D. program at George Washington University, which he attended through December 2001. He married in the United States and had three children while he was living here, including Abdulrahman, who was born in Denver, Colorado, on August 26, 1995. Anwar Al-Aulaqi and his family left the United States in 2002 or 2003 and eventually moved to Yemen.

First Over-the-air Firmware Update
First Over-the-air Firmware Update
Hooray! :-)
How about your GPS-based location in Google maps? Is that supported with the update?
Interesting. I have those features in my car already. Whats your vin and whats your version number now? I have an email for an update next week that talks about reducing the radio volume on exit and some range display changes, they will change the rated values based on the 265 EPA number now. Version will be 1.9.11. vin 96
The software update feature is fabulous!
(Whats the question about GPS location in google maps? I have that.)
(Whats the question about GPS location in google maps? I have that.)
Do you have it in you sat nav app (obviously), or do you have it when opening Google Maps in the web browser (which is the point of my question)?
The sat nav is optional for non-Signature reservations, and the completeness of features in Google Maps (web browser based) may affect the decision for or against the Tech Pkg for some.
GPS location works in the Nav app, and always has for me.
Sure. Does it also work in Google Maps, when you use the car's web browser to visit ?
For clarification, the sat nav (turn-by-turn directions) technically is Navigon, not Google Maps. Google Maps is the website (or a dedicated app on Android, that currently does not have an equivalent in the Model S touch screen). Sorry if that was confusing, I understand that "Google Maps" has become a generic term for anything that shows electronic maps... ;-)
Sure. Does it also work in Google Maps, when you use the car's web browser to visit ?
Darn, the forum swallowed the link that was meant to illustrate what I'm talking about: https://maps.google.com/
Volker, et al - I think the labels on the Nav display may be causing some confusion. When the Nav app is selected on the touch screen, a map appears with the location of your car marked on the map. In the lower right corner of the map is says "Google, Map data (copy-write symbol) 2012 Google." If you then enter a destination location and select Navigation, turn-by-turn navigation begins with a route displayed. During turn-by-turn navigation in the lower right corner of the map in addition to the Google label it also says "Navigation by Tesla." I have not yet had an opportunity to check if anything has changed in the Google Maps integration accessed via the web browser.
Rod and Barbara, thank you very much for the detailed description! That explains quite well where the confusion comes from. So I assume that the original poster was referring to the Nav App as well, in which case my question is pointless. Just forget about it and sorry for the long and winding thread.
To summarize: The turn-by-turn Nav App, which is definitely made by Navigon (obvious from the direction graphics, and also confirmed by some Tesla rep), integrates with Google Maps on the touch screen. Hat tip to Tesla for such an elegant solution! I think that's what is called "best-of-breed approach"...? :-)
@Volker.Berlin - Do we know if the Model S without the tech package will come with a GPS chip? Wouldn't that be necessary for position information integration on a Google Maps app?
stevenmaifert, no we don't know, and yes that would obviously be necessary. For a very long time (from the reveal in March 2009 until Options and Pricing was published in December 2011, and even thereafter to some degree) Tesla fed us the idea that the only difference between the standard vehicle and the optional Nav Pkg would be whether maps are onboard or offboard (the latter requiring a network connection and some caching). For most people following Tesla at the time that seemed to imply that a GPS chip and even offboard turn-by-turn navigation (a la Google Navigation on Android) would come standard with every Model S.
Obviously, that's not the case and a lot of disappointment has already been expressed in other threads of these forums. Given that the initial expectation, which seemed to be pretty well confirmed at the time, has turned out to be false, we now don't know anything and what kind of maps or navigation will be available in a non-Signature car w/o the Tech Pkg is entirely up to speculation again.
Which is why I was asking the question in the first place.
@ScottM – The ability to select 5, 15 or 30 miles on the Energy display was in our car upon delivery on July 27 with software version 1.5.21. The ability to display traffic on the Nav app was added when we upgraded to software version 1.7.36 at the Service Center on Sep 11. Our first remote software update occurred this morning to version 1.9.17. The new version changes the Rated Miles from a 2-cycle EPA reference to a 5-cycle EPA reference and changes the way the touch screen and media start up and shut down upon entry and exit. In our car the media volume does slowly ramp up upon entering the car and ramp down upon exiting the car.

Most of the kidney transplants in the US come from deceased kidney donors. Deceased donors are individuals who die from accidents or other causes, and their next of kin consent to organ donation. The waiting time for a deceased donor kidney in Southern California can range from three to eight years, depending on blood type.
The federal government, through the Health and Human Services (HHS) Department, oversees transplantation, including distribution of deceased donor organs. The HHS Department contracts with an organization called the
United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), which administers the waiting list for deceased donor organs. UNOS is overseen by transplant experts including transplant surgeons and representatives from organ-procurement agencies, patients and the donors' families. By consensus, the organs are allocated based on the principles of equal access and social utility.
Distribution is based on a point system that includes:
Surgeons place the donated kidney in the pelvis through an incision, attaching the new organ to the recipient's blood vessels and bladder. Unlike living donation where the kidney comes directly from the donor to the recipient, kidneys from deceased donors are often injured by the death and preservation processes, so a delay in kidney function may occur. Occasionally, dialysis is continued until the deceased donor kidney begins to function. When dialysis is needed, deceased donor kidneys may take up to two weeks to begin functioning. With living donation, delay in kidney function is uncommon and function may be restored almost immediately, like turning a switch from off to on.

Tiger's early roar may have just been a yawn.
The world's No. 1 golfer Tiger Woods kicked off the PGA Championship Thursday with birdies on three of his first four holes, but ended the day at 1 under after closing with a birdie on the final hole.
Bubba Watson and Italian Francesco Molinari took the early lead, shooting 4-under 68s after the tournament finally got under way following a three-hour fog delay.
Jason Day of Australia and Ryan Moore are a stroke back. Woods follows.
"I played too good not to shoot under par, and it would have been very disappointing and frustrating to end up at even par as well as I played today," he said. "To shoot under par just feels like less than I should have shot for the way I played today, and that's a good feeling."
Phil Mickelson, who could take the No. 1 ranking from Woods this week, teed off late Thursday afternoon and birdied his first hole. The four-time major winner is unlikely to finish his round on Thursday after tee times were pushed back 3 hours, 10 minutes because of fog that shrouded Whistling Straits.
Seeing Woods atop the leaderboard so early at a tournament, even a major, wouldn't ordinarily count as big news.
But there is nothing ordinary about Woods these days.
His personal life has started to "normalize" after months of tawdry details about his rampant infidelities. But he arrived at Whistling Straits fresh off the worst performance of his career, shooting a whopping 18-over 298 and beating only one player in the 80-man field at Firestone — a course where he's won seven times.
He's broken par in only four of his last 20 rounds, and is in danger of losing the No. 1 ranking he's held for a record 270 weeks in a row.
When the fog cleared, however, there was a glimpse of the old Woods. Starting on the back nine, he birdied three of his first four holes and found himself in a share of the lead. But he missed three birdie chances before he made the turn and started spraying shots around the course on his back nine.
"It felt good to be a little bit more steady today," Woods said.
But he's still chasing players he used to beat routinely on his way to 14 major titles, four shy of Jack Nicklaus' record.
The PGA has a history of producing some unexpected winners — this, after all, is where John Daly went from alternate to major champion — but everything seems to be wide open these days. Five of the last six major were won by first-timers, including the U.S. Open (Graeme McDowell) and British Open (Louis Oosthuizen).
And, of course, last year's PGA, where Y.E. Yang became the first player to beat Woods when he held the 54-hole lead at a major.
"You just look at the leaderboard, there's a lot of different flavor up there," Day said.
Watson, who picked up his first U.S. Tour win earlier this year at the Travelers Championship, is one of the tour's longest hitters. But it was his scrambling ability that paid off on the long, links-style course.
"It just keeps the momentum," Watson said. "If I don't get up-and-down and up-and-down a couple of times today, my momentum could shift. It might not, but it could shift and not go the right direction and I could be made the rest of the day. So I just held it together. I made some key putts that I needed to make, and now I'm here."
Molinari was stuck around 2 under for most of the afternoon, leaving him tied with brother Edoardo in the battle for high Molinari. But a bogey on No. 4 — his 13th hole — gave him a spark, and he made three birdies over his final five holes.
Molinari said McDowell's and Oosthuizen's wins have been an inspiration for the European Tour players. It's a lot easier to imagine himself winning a major championship when he's seen a couple of his friends do it.
"But still, it's really, really hard to win a tournament like this," he said. "I think obviously Tiger is going to get back to his standards and Phil is going to win more majors. So you just need to play really well and try to grab the occasion when you have it."
