Ryder Cup - the essentials
12.45: So, the equation is quite simple. Europe, as the holders, need eight points to retain the Ryder Cup, while the US need four and a half points to win it back. Can Europe do it? Yes... but it'll take something very special indeed. One thing's for sure, there'll be an hell of an atmosphere at Medinah on Sunday.
The first singles match tees off at 5.03pm BST, 11.03 local time. See you then!
12.40: Yes he has got one more putt! What a putter, what a match player, that's quite incredible! Poulter shows no nerves whatsoever and sends the ball into the centre of the cup. Europe still trail by four points going into the singles but thanks to Poulter they have renewed hope.
Poulter came home with five straight birdies - five! - and dragged McIlroy, the best golfer in the world, along with him. He screamed with delight over and over again after holing that final putt. Quite brilliant.
McIlroy/Poulter beat Dufner/Johnson 1 up
12.28: McIlroy hasn't hit his, pressure got to him surely. Dufner decides to go first, as is his right in fourballs. It's in! Has Poulter got one more putt in him? He'll need it to win this match.
12.34: Poulter and Johnson both into the 18th green with beauties but it's Dufner who hits the bullseye! Marvellous shot, six feet, maybe less, to go. Just Rory left to play. It's a good shot but spins back off the green. All four have makeable birdie putts, but it's advantage America with Dufner so close.
12.32: Stricker misses! The ball rolls round the cup, in the style of so many of Colsaerts' putts - Europe are owed a few of those. Donald and Garcia cling on, Europe cling on. And Woods has played three matches and lost them all at Medinah this year.
Garcia/Donald beat Woods/Stricker 1 up
12.30: It's wide but a four is conceded. Stricker is left with eight feet to steal a half from four holes down after nine.
12.29: Sergio takes his stance but then steps away from the ball! The crowd holler in derision. The tension is unbearable!
12.26: Back to the 18th, Tiger's first to putt. Not a chance. Now Donald for his four, again missed. But that's the phoney war over. Sergio next, to win the match...
12.23: Speaking of nervy, how about this putt for Ian Poulter. Johnson's a certain two - he needs this eight footer to match him. No prizes for guessing he nails it. What a fighter. Europe lead by one heading down the last.
12.19: Donald's in a right mess in a fairway bunker on the 18th, right up against the lip. he hacks out but a three will surely be needed to win this hole after Stricker hits a quite brilliant approach to 10 feet. Garcia will have a putt for the match after floating his iron to 20 feet or so. Woods is last to play and leaves 20 feet too. Nervy moments these.
12.17: And, just like Donald only minutes before, Johnson finds his best at the most crucial moment. His tee shot is a towering draw and stops four feet away. Such eerie echoes of Woods and Donald there.
12.15: Poulter's not done yet - his tee shot to the 17th is Woods-esque, eight feet from the pin. Dufner and Johnson need something special to take this one down the 18th now.
12.10: Poulter's done it! This guy is just the most brilliant Ryder Cup player... he's remarkable. Another big, swinging putt finds its target and Hertfordshire's finest roars, wide eyes bulging out of their sockets, in celebration. Dufner misses his effort - he and Johnson have seen their lead evaporate after four straight European birdies, and now trail by one with two to play.
12.06: No joy for Stricker or Garcia - Tiger must hole to keep the match alive. And he does. They're making Donald putt, and as well they might, from three feet. Right in the centre of the cup!
12.05: It's tight on the 16th - Poulter is in birdie range, as are Dufner and Rory. Some big putts coming up.
12.01: But that's even better from Donald! It's a gimme! I've not seen four better struck shots under such pressure at such a tough hole - all 193 yards of it, water and all. Stricker's was good - that's 15 feet away. Garcia's was better - eight feet from the pin. Tiger's was the sort of shot only Tiger can play. But Donald's was the shot of one of the world's greatest match players, which is precisely what he is, despite his patchy form this weekend.
11.58: Tiger! This is stunning! After hacking it around for the first nine holes, Woods is on the charge and he now sticks his tee shot stone dead on 17. A hammer blow to European hearts. I hear the Sonning Common amateur dramatics society are looking for someone to play Dr Jekyll in their latest production - well, here's your man!
11.56: But Donald and Garcia have got a real fight on their hands here as Woods nicks another birdie and hauls the European pair within one hole once again. Two to play.
11.55: Blimey, do Europe ever need McIlroy and Poulter to nick that final match...
11.52: But he can't quite manage it. If there was any justice he'd have holed that. Really the best team lost that match in my eyes. But once again it came down to crucial putts holed and crucial putts missed.
Defining moment: Dustin Johnson (centre) celebrates sinking a birdie putt to win the 17th hole
D Johnson/Kuchar beat Colsaerts/Lawrie 1 up
11.51: Dustin to win the match... no! Wide. Colsaerts can steal a half here...
11.50: But Dufner leaves it short! It's level with two to play!
11.48: Serious stuff on the 15th - Johnson out of it in the water, Dufner lays up and pitches to 15 feet. Poulter goes for the green and finds sand but plays a majestic bunker shot to a couple of inches. If Dufner misses, this one's all square...
11.46: Donald and Garcia are well off the green on the 16th and Woods responds with a precise blow to 10 feet.
11.42: Good drives from all four down the 18th. Who can get closest? Not Kuchar - he's missed the green. Lawrie is a long way away but on the green. Colsaerts now... what a shot! But again so unlucky! The ball pitches inches from the cup and spins back past it, settling eight feet away. Dustin with a wedge now, 12 feet away. It's going down to the wire.
11.34: Huge, huge roar on the 17th green as Dustin holes out and pumps his fists in celebration - what noise! Delirium for the home support and Kuchar punches the air in delight. Massive blow struck by America, who lead with one hole to play.
Really, that hole sums up this Ryder Cup so far - plenty of good golf from both sides from tee to green. But for every European miss there's been a brilliant American putt.
11.32: Woods has the line but not the length leaving Donald to shoot for a two hole lead. And the cries of 'Luuuuuuuuuke' echo around the trees as the world No 3 holes it. Three to negotiate for a precious point.
11.30: Yet another nerveless six footer from Poulter halves the 14th. This is tough, grinding matchplay, short on inspiration, heavy on perspiration and, sadly for the home crowd, the Englishman's certainly not one for intimidation.
11.28: Advantage Donald on the 15th as Woods and Stricker pitch well away from the pin. The Englishman has six feet, maybe less for his birdie. Garcia's jab for the bird stops short, he's out of it. Stricker's putt rolls to the right, he's gone. It's between Luke and Tiger.
Who's he supporting then? A fan watches from the first tee
11.26: Great response from Kuchar, his ball settles just inside Colsaerts'. But it was so, so close to finding the water. Lucky boy. Dustin follows him on. Surely someone's going to make one of these putts? My money's on an American.
11.23: Now then, onto the 17th tee, the knee-knocking shot over Lake Kadijah. Colsaerts stuck one in the drink earlier to all but concede defeat in the foursomes. What can he do here? Find the green, that's what. And Lawrie follows suit. Pressure finally being applied on America here.
11.20: Now this could be pivotal: Kuchar has been playing around in the trees by the 16th fairway and now Dustin has flopped his bunker shot onto the fringe after finding the trap from the middle of the fairway. Lawrie has two putts to win the hole with a par four and he makes no mistake. Super fightback from the Scot and the Belgian.
11.18: So the crowd have now moved on to shouting 'yabadabadoo' and 'no soup for you' after European drives. Where do these people crawl out from under?
11.13: Tiger's back from the dead with another birdie at 14 but Donald gets up and down from a bunker for his four and a precious half. Europe cling on. It's close in all three matches now - we could be looking at an overnight score of either 12-4 or 9-7... it's a real six-pointer, as various dunces on Match of the Day like to point out with mind-numbing regularity.
11.10: Kuchar's invented a new version of the coconut shy here - he takes aim at a tree blocking his path to the green and smashes his fairway wood smack bang into the middle of the trunk. He wins a cuddly toy but no advantage for his team. What on earth was he doing? Hoping if he aimed at it he wouldn't hit it? That's usually my tactic on the golf course...
11.07: At last! McIlroy FINALLY holes a putt to win the 13th and halve the Americans' advantage. Can the Northern Irishman drag his side back into this?
11.05: A rare sight of Olazabal on the course, looking rather solemn. Dare I say it but Ollie's just seemed too quiet to inspire Europe to greater things at Medinah. That said, he can't inspire golfers to hole putts, can he?
Treesy does it: Paul Lawrie of Europe plays a shot from the foliage on the fifth hole
11.00: The perma-smile of Kuchar beams even brighter after he drives the green at the 15th, and watches as Lawrie and Colsaerts both find the bunker guarding the putting surface. The Belgian's escape rolls off the back of the green and down a slope towards the water - that won't do. Lawrie, under big pressure, splashes out of the sand with perfect weight to leave himself five feet for birdie. And Kuchar's Cheshire Cat impression ramps up a notch as his eagle putt settles next to the cup for a conceded three. Huge pressure on Lawrie's shoulders now... but he makes a stroke as smooth as silk and Europe remain one down.
10.50: McIlroy desperately seeking to pull Johnson and Dufner back within one. The world No 1 has 15 feet left to win the 12th hole and strikes a positive putt. But the ball drifts by and European shoulders slump once again.
10.48: The biggest roar of the afternoon erupts around the 13th green as Woods' putt cuts Donald and Garcia's lead to just one. They were four behind after nine holes. Tiger is on the prowl!
10.43: Eagle putts for both Dustin and Colsaerts after some huge hitting into the 14th. Dustin rolls his past, leaving the Belgian with a chance to win the hole. It's a superb putt and again looks in all the way before, for at least the third time, lipping out. Utterly remarkable and even more rotten luck for Colsaerts. Did he run over a black cat dirving to the course today? Or is it just black magic - George W Bush has been spotted at Medinah today after all. This match is developing into the crucial point of the afternoon. Can Europe finally strike back?
10.39: Oh Tiger, where have you been?! What a shot from Woods, flying the lake and pitching short of the 13th hole before releasing and rolling a couple of inches past the cup and stopping within gimme range. A stroke of genius and the pressure is ramped right up on Donald and Garcia, who respond by hitting the green, but a distance away.
10.36: Simpson has just been speaking about the pressure of playing in the Ryder Cup. The US Open champion reckons it's more intense than in a major. Well, he handled it pretty well, didn't he?
10.32: Stricker completes the job on the 12th to halve the deficit he and Tiger took into the back nine. This match has looked a banker for a European win all afternoon but there's sure to be squeaky bums now.
10.29: Rose's ball does a 'Colsaerts', tracking towards the hole only to lip in and out again. More rotten luck but he's been put out of his misery here as the rampant Americans triumph with four holes left. The devout Simpson and Watson celebrate with a group prayer by the green.
Getting an earful: Tiger Woods reacts with fans to his approach shot to the 12th green
Watson/Simpson beat Molinari/Rose 5&4
10.27: Bubba uses all his strange contortions to fire a howitzer at the pin on the 609-yard 14th. It's a beauty and sets up a 25 footer for eagle and the match. Europe breathes again as it slides by, but Rose and Molnari need birdies from 20 feet.
10.24: Well, well, well... perhaps Woods and Stricker aren't out of this yet. Fantastic approach from Stricker flies over the huge oak guarding the green and comes to a rest 10 feet away. Garcia responds with a stinker, way left - and that's no good on a green that slopes away from him with the pin cut tight on the left side.
10.20: Horrible luck for Colsaerts as his par putt looks in all the way but runs round the rim of the cup and lips out. Savage luck. But Lawrie holds his nerve to hole from six feet and escape with a par and a half. Still just one down.
10.12: Woods and Stricker grabbed a hole back from Garcia and Donald thanks to Tiger's long-overdue birdie on the 10th, but the Europeans ensure no further American gains with a half on the 11th.
This pair look good for a point, but where is the European spark going to come from? Rose and Molinari are being blown away by Simpson's belly putter and McIlroy and Poulter are fighting fires, so Colsaerts and Lawrie look the most likely lads. But they've squandered four or so holes with tiny missed putts - they'd be three up were it not for those ghastly mistakes.
10.08: Neither Kuchar or Lawrie can hole their great chances on the 12th. Yet again Europe squander an opportunity. This is becoming rather repetitive.
Poulter saves McIlroy's bacon with a gutsy par save from 10 feet - the Englishman is the only European making any putts out there.
10.05: Simpson is spinning his Webb yet again and Rose and Molinari are stuck fast (see what i did there?). The US Open champion is making putt after putt this afternoon and his seventh birdie in 13 holes takes America four up with five to play.
Monster hitter: Bubba Watson drives on the eighth hole during the fourballs
10.01: Another cracker from Lawrie to the 13th green keeps pace with Kuchar, who also sends a laser-guided iron at the pin. It'll be another putting competition from 15 feet - and there's only been one winner in such circumstances these past few days. But the 43-year-old Scot fights on - he and Colsaerts are withing striking distance of the in-form Kuchar and the strangely quiet Dustin.
9.57: Simpson and Watson turning the screw on the short 13th. I say short, but it's 245 yards over Lake Kadijah, but that's a mere flick for Bubba. Both the Americans withing 15 feet of the pin.
9.52: Woods shows an all too rare glimpse of his former self with a brilliant approach to the long 10th to get on in two. Signs of a fightback?
9.48: A nightmare for Lawrie on the 11th after a sublime approach from sand to just a few feet as the Scot misses the tiddler and stays one down alongside Colsaerts. Just what on earth is going on with Europe's putting?
9.42: 'Be right' is most certainly the new 'get in the hole' - the Americans are shouting at the ball at every opportunity (it never listens, by the way) and Dufner's caddie is the latest to utter the highly irritating imperative. But his shot is a good one and sets up another chance to take a holed from McIlroy and Poulter, who yet again can't get close enough to the hole to threaten a decent birdie putt.
9.33 Molinari makes a birdie, his third out of seven, but it's only for a half. Donald then piles more misery on Woods and Stricker but Europe are still only up in one - if that stays the same they'll be staring an 11-5 deficit overnight, with the US needing just three and a half points from the 12 singles matches to secure the cup.
9.30 McIlroy and Poulter finally get inside the Americans on the eighth after fine drives but both leave their putts painfully short. Simpson shows the how it's done with another wonderful effort. Johnson then sinks a monster. It's the difference between the two sides.
9.15 Lawrie puts his putt just past the left edge on the eighth and Poulter's effort lips out on the seventh. Johnson produces an amazing shot to get within a few feet and Simpson sinks a tricky putt for his third successive birdie to go three up. Dufner then holes another tricky one to go two up. A little light relief for Europe as Donald keeps his nerve to make a short putt and go three up.
Fighting against the tide: Sergio Garcia (right) congratulates Luke Donald after winning the eighth hole
9.05: Woods pitches up to the seventh green, but he's completely out of sorts and leaves himself 20 feet for birdie. Garcia's in a bit of bother next to the grandstand - and he's attracting the ire of a few well-watered locals by taking his time here - but pitches up onto the green to 15 feet or so from the pin. Woods fails with his birdie putt and Donald misses too from 15 feet - another couple of poor putts from the out-of-sorts world Nos 2 and 3. The door opens for Stricker now and after what feels like an eternity he too misses. Pretty dreadful stuff, that.
8.53: Molinari and Simpson ensure the top match stays with America two up. But it's much closer this afternoon, with Europe up in one match, all square in one and in touching distance in another. They need a spark from somewhere though.
8.52: Here's that demon putter Kuchar again, from off the eighth green this time... and he misses by a cat's whisker. Lawrie's gorgeous, flighted bunker shot halves the hole.
8.47: Simpson was not at his best this morning but he's firing on all cylinders now. One of the most spectacular approaches you're likely to see flies over the ninth pin and grips and spins back past the cup, settling inches away. But Molinari is inspired to hit just as effective a shot, if not so spectacular - a great response from the West Ham-supporting Italian.
8.41: The ever-impressive and ever-reliable Dufner is in prime position on the sixth green after more pinpoint iron play, but McIlroy follows Poulter into the sand with a lousy wedge following a 350-yard drive. Europe under pressure now.
But there's good news on the long seventh, where Colsaerts' deft bunker shot splashes out to a foot from the pin, while Dustin can only manage a five. Lawrie and Colsaerts have dragged themselves back level and are working up a head of steam.
8.40: Here's Webb for a half... yep, yet another putt drops for America just when they need it most.
8.36: Welcome to the party, Justin Rose! After a rather quiet seven holes, the Englishman makes a fashionably late entry and very nearly shoots an ace on the 201-yard eighth. It's a gimme birdie and puts pressure on Watson and Simpson to hole out from mid-range.
8.30: Watson and Simpson have found their mojo again after defeat to Poulter and Rose in the foursomes. Bubba makes an easy birdie on the par five seventh to take the honours. Still no birdies for Rose and Molinari - I've said it before and I'll probably say it again: that's not good enough.
8.25: McIlroy chips to a couple of feet for birdie and Dufner nails another great American putt to ensure a halved hole as Poulter and Johnson fail with their jabs at eagle.
Power game: Dustin Johnson hits out of the rough on the seventh hole during Saturday's fourballs
8.20: Colsaerts has two putts to nick a hole back from Kuchar and Dustin on the sixth - and he dribbles it barely halfway there before erupting in a fit of laughter! He's a great lad, is the Belgian - likes a smoke and a bit of house music, does Nico. Lawrie continues the fun by stepping up and sinking the putt that seals the hole. The Scot and his partner are just one down now - game on.
8.17: The final group are having a dig at the fifth green in two, that's 536-yards all in all. Johnson cracks a beauty from way back and gets a lucky bounce to find the green. Poulter finds a similar spot 50 feet or more from the pin. Dufner waggles, waggles, waggles some more and overshoots the green with a hook - he's in trouble. Now then, Rory, show them you're the big dog. Ach, that's unlucky - he's just over the back.
8.12: He's not getting much help from Woods but Stricker's not going down without a fight. An eagle three on the fifth pulls a hole back and sparks off the first big roar of the afternoon. The volume's been turned down from 11 since the crescendo of the opening tee shot this morning. The dial's only at about six at the moment, I'd say.
8.08: Molinari's birdie putt fails to bother the hole. Not good. Simpson halves from five feet with his trusty belly putter.
8.06: Dufner's putt swings downhill towards the cup - he thinks he's got it - but the ball refuses to fall below ground. Two bites at the cherry for Europe for the hole. They only need one as Poulter nails his 15-footer, great putt. Europe one down, a reachable par-fove coming up, and McIlroy's the biggest hitter by a mile.
8.01: That's more like it, Rory! After a super seven-iron from Poulter and an even better approach from Dufner, McIlroy spins his wedge to the raised fourth green and no more than six feet away. A peach. And a chance to nick a hole back.
Colsaerts ensures the fifth hole is halved, tapping in after birdie machine Kuchar makes another. That's three already for Florida's ping-pong king.
7.57: Frankie Molinari, standing on a thin coat of brown leaves on the sixth fairway, shows off his ballstriking prowess with a beautiful mid-iron. 15 feet left to go.
7.51: Unlucky for Stricker as his 15-footer lips out. 'Great putt, pardner,' Tiger consoles. And Woods then indulges in a little gamesmanship by playing a pitch that he is entitled to play, but had no hope whatsoever of holing. And that's fired Garcia up - he holes from the front of the green for a birdie three - he and Donald are motoring and three up.
7.50: Come on Rory, time to justify your world No 1 status. It's another putt that just doesn't drop though, he and Poulter stay two down.
7.47: Molinari gets a rare chance to win a hole on the fifth after finding the green in two. The putt doesn't drop but he secures a birdie four - that's just Europe's second of the day. The hole is halved after Simpson holes out for four.
7.44: The wedge problems continue at the fourth where Poulter and Zach fly the green with their scoring clubs. Bizarre. McIlroy and Dufner on the dancefloor to set up a mini putting competition.
7.41: What on earth is going on with Tiger? First he hits a tree with his drive, next he hooks wildly left with a fairway wood with his approach. Hacking of the highest order... I know the feeling, mate.
7.39: And this, right here is the difference between the two teams. Kuchar rolls in another 30-footer on the fourth to pile the pressure on Colsaerts, who missed from eight. Doesn't take a genius to work it out, does it? 'Kooooooooooch,' cry the natives.
7.33: Dufner hits a fine-looking putt but can't hole on the second... but America still go two up after Poulter's putter lets him down for once from four feet. That's a bad one.
And speaking of bad putts, Donald misses out from 10 feet after giving himself the chance to claim a third hole on Woods and Stricker. Europe keep on throwing their chances away - it's just not good enough.
Look who's here: Former U.S. President George W. Bush (centre) with Dustin Johnson (left) and Matt Kuchar (right)
7.32: Poulter finds a stance on the precipice of the lake and chips well. Should be a par there.
Another cracker from the Belgian bomber into the fourth green, eight feet left, and Lawrie isn't much further away.
7.27: Not good from McIlroy and Poulter. The Englishman's tee shot on two makes it over the lake by inches, while his partner finds the drink. The only comfort - Dufner and Johnson are not close. Poulter will need to get up and down to save the hole.
7.20: Colsaerts for a half from seven feet on the third, a crucial putt already - and he holes it, just! The ball rolled round the cup a couple of times on its way down.
Zach seals an early lead alongside the Duf-man with a dead-eyed putt. America up in three matches already.
7.19: Garcia misses his putt but Europe take a two-hole cushion after Woods fails to get up and down from eight feet.
7.15: Woods chips on the second but that fails to trouble the hole.
Zach Johnson fires another superb iron into the first green to set up a birdie chance but Dufner gets himself even closer.
Rory, meanwhile, after a drive of 374 yards (yes you read right), mucks up his good work by finding sand with a lob wedge.
7.11: Garcia's enjoying a fine start - now the Spaniard puts his tee shot to 15 feet. Stricker splashes into the wet stuff and Woods drifts right of the green with the pin cut left.
But America are now up in two of the matches thanks to Simpson, who rolls in a 10-footer on the third as Molinari and Rose can only manage pars. Birdies are the order of the day in fourballs.
7.06: Rested, fed and watered, it's that man Poulter on the tee again. He's not greeted by anywhere near the same aplomb as in the early hours - and perhaps that's why he fires way left. McIlroy pulverizes his ball. Dufner and Johnson, unstoppable so far in this competition, find yet more fairways.
New partnership: Europe's Ian Poulter and Rory McIlroy talk as they walk up the first fairway
7.02: Tiger's pitch us a belter, but he'll only make par. Far more importantly, Kuchar holes on the second from 25 feet for birdie. Pressure on Colsaerts. And he misses! This could be quite a match.
Stricker can't hole his putt on the first so Sergio grabs the lead.
6.58: This is more like it! Colsaerts fires his tee shot over the lake to the 192-yard second and stiffs it, brilliant shot. Now Garcia to the first, and that's even better! Two feet away, no more. Woods, in reply, flies a wedge over the green. A wedge! That's almost unheard of for players of this calibre.
6.50: Good start by Sergio, blasting down the middle but Donald slices right - it's safe though. Stricker hits an absolute bomb down the fairway, while Woods fizzes a three wood away.
Lawrie has a great opportunity to draw first blood on the opening green, but pulls his putt wide from eight feet. Ach. Early days though.
6.45: It's Tiger time!
Woods doffs his cap to the crowd as he makes his way onto the first tee. And that's woken up the natives, the inevitable roars of USA, USA ringing out, followed by a few lonely 'Oles' from the European stragglers.
Simpson has a chance to win the second hole from 20 feet but hasn't holed much today. And that one stays above ground too.
6.35: Things have quietened down a touch on that first tee - perhaps those that were probably already sozzled at 7am local time are now sleeping off their earlier exertions. Rabid patriotism is a tiring business, you know.
There's perfect silence as ping-pong king Matt Kuchar hooks miles left. Dustin Johnson blasts it miles, while Paul Lawrie and that man Colsaerts are on their merry way.
6.30: Simpson plays first into the opening green and is left with 25 feet for birdie. Rose runs off the green, as does Molinari - perhaps signs of the greens firming up. Bubba makes a mess of his shot and finds sand with a typically crazy hook round a tree.
6.25: Right, it's a little late but it's Fourballs time!
Francesco Molinari gets things underway with a drive down the middle, Rose follows him by finding the right rough, Simpson (no rest for the wicked) nails it down the middle, and Bubba, after whipping the crowd into a frenzy once again, slices wildly into the trees.
Patriots: USA fans during the Webb Simpson/Bubba Watson versus Justin Rose/Ian Poulter match
6.20: The US now lead by four points heading into Saturday's fourballs. That's a big lead but not yet insurmountable thanks to the stirling efforts of Poulter and Rose in winning the first foursomes match.
The big news of the morning was Donald and Westwood suffering a record-equalling defeat at the hands of Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley, who made it three wins out of three.
The 7&6 defeat matched those suffered by Nick Faldo and David Gilford in 1991 and Ken Brown and Des Smyth in 1979.
And here's what Mickelson said afterwards: 'Europe has had some great team-mates, but to be able to share this experience with Keegan has been really awesome. We've had so much fun, the crowd has provided so much energy and it's brought our best golf out.'
Bradley added: 'I'm just thrilled I got to share this with Phil.'
6.16: McIlroy's effort is decent and he gave it a chance but McDowell had put him in a pretty hopeless position and the ball runs past. Snedeker runs his putt past the pin but it's good enough for the match. And McIlroy and McDowell look utterly deflated.
Furyk/Snedeker beat McIlroy/McDowell 1 up
6.12: But that's rubbish from G-Mac, he's been out of sorts for most of the day. The short iron is tweaked left of the green and Rory will need to chip in to force a half. Easy, eh?
6.10: Great hit by Furyk under big pressure, arrowing the ball into the front of the green, 30 feet away. Europe will surely need a birdie to win the hole and steal a half now.

6.04: McIlroy steps up to the tee and smashes the ball miles down the hole. Great shot, says G-Mac. Not half. Snedeker blasts in response but leaks it right and into a fairway bunker. Furyk will have 180 yards from sand to reach the green. McDowell must be 50 yards closer.
6.03: Snedeker, the demon putter, has the chance to win the match but the putt's just got too much break to handle. Now then, Rory, big chance to level the match. But that's agonisingly wide again. The match goes up the 18th, Europe must win the hole to claim half a point.
5.57: Gentleman Jim stands up to the challenge and fires his ball 20 feet left of the target. America face a tough downhill putt, however, while Rory will putt uphill.
5.56: Brilliant from McDowell! A second successive superb iron is dead on the pin and drops 10 feet short. What has Furyk got?
5.54: Not far behind them, though, are McIlroy and McDowell, and Rory screams with delight as he holes for birdie on the 16th and closes the gap on Furyk and Snedeker. Now then, whatever you do, DON'T make the same mistake as Colsaerts!
5.52: Two putts to win the match for Johnson and Dufner, Zach first up from 25 feet and he knocks it stone dead. Garcia and Colsaerts remove their caps and shake hands.
Dufner/Johnson beat Colsaerts/Garcia 2&1
5.49: Much better from Big Mac, spearing in a superb iron to eight feet on the 16th green. Furyk is miles away. A glimmer of hope...
5.48: But that's a cardinal sin from Colsaerts as he finds the water guarding the 17th green. Big mental error and this match is all but over.
5.46: Ole, Sergio! Garcia summons the spirit of Seve to chip in from the back of the 16th green and drag Europe back into the third match. One down, two to play, and on to the brutish, long par-three 17th.
5.43: How on earth have Stricker and Woods been kept together for the fourballs, by the way? Two defeats out of two so far. But Europe will be mighty pleased to see the back of Mickelson and Bradley. Why has Davis Love kept Watson and Simpson out and rested his star pairing? Could he live to regret that?
Daunting: Justin Rose of Europe drives off the 14th tee during day two at Medinah Country Club
5.39: McDowell, having holed all day about as much as a one-armed snooker player after an all-day brewery tour, lines up a putt to win the 15th hole. But that's another shocker. No wonder he's sitting out the afternoon. The Macs are two down, three to play.
5.37: The afternoon fourballs have been revealed: D Johnson/Kuchar v Colsaerts/Lawrie; Watson/Simpson v Rose/Molinari; Woods/Stricker v Garcia/Donald; Dufner/Z Johnson v McIlroy/Poulter.
5.35: Simpson misses! What a crucial and hard fought point for Europe. And it's that man Ian Poulter yet again, he kept his cool over such an intense match. Justin Rose doesn't have too bad a record in this competition either, does he? Superb pairing. 'We won ugly,' says Rose. You certainly did, Justin, but you deserve it.
Rose/Poulter beat Watson/Simpson 1 up
5.33: Big pressure here, crowd quiet for once...
5.32: Here's Rose for the win... it's on the way... tracking uphill towards the hole... getting closer... no! Just wide, great putt though. Over to you, Webb, for a half...
5.30: Dufner misses the target on 15. Colsaerts to win the hole... no! Again Europe fail to take advantage. And that's been the difference between the two sides - the flat stick.
5.27: Oh Bubba! Shot of the day from Watson, a hammer blow for Europe as he flights an iron miles into the Chicago skies and brings it down 10 feet from the cup. Huge pressure on Poulter now. And it's a good response - 30 feet away... but it will be a putt for the win.
5.26: It's a putting contest on the 15th as Garcia and Johnson both hit approaches to 15 feet.
Furyk holes for a half on the 15th to deny the Macs a hole back.
5.25: Touch of class from McIlroy with the wedge into the 14th green, inches away from an eagle - but that'll be the Ulstermen's first birdie of the day. Remarkable.
5.24: Three woods for both Simpson and Rose on the 18th tee. Webb is straight and true but Rose drifts left into the rough. With Watson's length with the approach, it's advantage America.
5.19: Simpson hammers his putt past the pin, but so does Rose. Poulter has four feet uphill for par. Atta boy! Nerves of steel. Bubba holes too and we're heading down the 18th!
5.17: Are you kidding me? says Butch Harmon as Johnson chunks a chip to the 14th green into a bunker. Dreadful stuff, pressure getting to the Iowan. Garcia has Europe eight feet away in three. But Colsaerts can't hole and Johnson nails his six-footer for a crucial half. Chance missed.
5.11: Huge hole now, the 17th, for Poulter and Rose. And it's a real beast. 193 yards, nearly all of it over water. Ouch. Bubba first up - and it's a good one, heart of the green, 20 feet from the pin. Now then, Ian Poulter, how are your nerves? They're good! That's a sensational shot, all over the flag and 10 feet left for birdie and, possibly, the match.
5.09: Awful putt, awful hole for Europe. America back within one with two to play. It's early days but if Europe lose this you'd have to say their chances of retaining the cup will be over before Saturday afternoon.
5.08: No joy for Bubba. But they're in for five - Rose must hole for a half and to go dormie two.
5.06: But Poulter's chip is duffed and Rose has eight feet for a bogey.
On the range: Tiger Woods warms up ahead of the afternoon fourballs
5.03: Poulter's shot actually fell short of the sand but this is a mistake from Rose, another fluffed chip that doesn't make the green. Door open for America. But Simpson's bunker shot runs 10 feet past - the ball was sat deep down in the sand. Squeaky bum time on the 16th green. If POulter chips in he wins the match...
5.01: Still not one birdie for the McDowell/McIlroy pair after Rory's 25-footer on the 245-yard 13th stops just short. That's just not good enough from Europe's star pair. Snedeker misses too and the hole is halved.
4.59: Poulter from the right rough on the 16th - and it's that rescue club again. Not a good shot this time, finding sand by the green. Bubba attempts another big cut but shouts in anguish as he too finds the trap.
4.53: Crucial error from Colsaerts, missing from three feet on the 13th green for the half. That's two holes in succession for Dufner and Johnson and the scoreboard is suddenly glowing scarlet. America two up in the final two matches.
4.51: McIlroy and Snedeker can't take advantage of the fine approaches to the 12th - that green is just too slippery. Hole halved, Europe still two down.
4.49: Big chance for Bubba on the 15th green. It's a drivable hole but Bubba laid up, then Simpson pitched to 20 feet. But no, Watson's putt drifts wide. Simpson left to tidy up from three feet. Two down with three to go, Europe can claim the point by taking the next hole.
4.46: Furyk turns the screw on the Macs with a beauty into the 12th green that's caused so many problems today with its frankly unfair position at the bottom of the slope and at the top of the run off area by the pond. McDowell responds with a decent hit but Europe are 20 feet away.
4.41: USA, USA, USA! The crowd are back to their frothing, delirious best, drunk on Stars and Stripes, as Dufner takes America back into the lead in the crucial third match. Hell, they're all crucial for Europe now though, aren't they?
4.39: Rose splashes out of the sand to two feet, brilliant, brilliant shot. Watson has 10 feet for a four and the half... and he walks after the ball as it tracks towards the cup and drops. The crowd erupt as Simpson waves his arms like a maniac. This one ain't over! Europe two up with four to play.
4.36: McDowell and McIlroy have not managed a single birdie all day and they're two down again after Furyk nails one from 15 feet on the 11th.
Cheerleaders: Amy Mickelson and Jillian Stacey, girlfriend of Keegan Bradley, follow their partners' match
4.32: Garcia's in a bit of bother over the back of the 12th green. He takes relief as his ball came to rest by a grandstand but the shot he faces is evil, with the green running away to the greedy pond. Garcia lobs the ball up but watches in horror as it races off the putting surface and away down the slope.
4.27: Trouble again for Bubba and Webb off the tee, another hook into the forest from the US Open champion on the 14th. But his ball was stopped from running way off course by the crowd and Watson's unrivalled shotmaking skills mean he's able to hit a power cut all of 295 yards into the right greenside bunker on the par five. Poulter now, from the middle of the fairway again, that rescue club in hand once more, and he finds the front left bunker.
4.21: Simpson holes from 10 feet to save a half on the 13th, despite thinning his second out of a bunker. Bit of a let off after a poor chip from Rose.
4.20: Colsaerts drags Europe level against Dufner and Johnson with a swinging putt from 15 feet. They've battled back from two down and Europe are putting together a mini charge here. Can they sustain it?
4.16: Miracle recovery from Mickelson on the 12th. Business as usual then. Miserable putt from Westwood. Business as usual then. Bradley holes out and this match is all over after a right,. royal thrashing for the Europeans, 7&6.
Bradley/Mickelson beat Westwood/Donald 7&6
4.11: Garcia faces a knee-knocker on the 10th, six feet to halve the hole in par fives. And the Spaniard makes it without a problem. Don't go anywhere - there's a faint whiff of a European fightback on the late morning Chicago air.
4.09: Bradley forced to hack out the trees by a wild Mickelson drive and the 26-year-old from Vermont finds timber. A bit of good news for Donald and Westwood but frankly this one's all over bar the shouting (and there'll be plenty of that with these crowds).
4.03: You lucky boy, Poulter! The ball is in the hazard but stayed dry. The green is miles up above the run off area though, and requires a huge flop shot just to find the putting surface. Rose makes it up just but Simpson sees his pitch run back down the slope to his feet. Big mistake. Watson's pitch up is genius, three feet left. And Poulter wins the hole with one of the gutsiest swinging putts you'll see. All is forgiven, Ian! Europe go two up in the all-important top match.
4.00: Does this sound familiar? Bubba deep in the trees, hopeless looking situation, wedge in hand? Well, the Masters champion isn't able to pull off a miracle a la Augusta, only hacking out sideways. Chance for Poulter and Rose now, middle of the fairway on the 12th.
But that's a shocker! In the context of the match, I doubt there will be a worse shot hit all tournament. With the Americans struggling, Poulter goes for the green with what looked like a rescue club, and slices wildly right. Worse than that his ball splashes into water. Dreadful, dreadful shot selection and execution. What a let-off for America.
3.54: Keegan and Phil are threatening the biggest ever winning margin in Ryder Cup foursomes, jointly held by Hale Irwin and Tom Kite, who beat Ken Brown and Des Smyth 7&6 in 1979 and Paul Azinger and Mark O'Meara, who beat Nick Faldo and David Gilford in 1991. But Bradley misses the chance to take them seven up with seven to play as his putt drifts wide after Donald misses from distance.
3.51: Like I said, funny thing, this momentum stuff. Suddenly Furyk and Snedeker make a right hash of the eighth and hand the Macs a hole back. Just one down now, with McIlroy looking dangerously close to top form with his irons.
Written in the sky: Vapour trails leave a message in the air for the European team before the morning foursomes
3.50: Average approach from Westwood to the 11th green is shown up for what it is by another corker from Mickelson, spinning back towards the pin to set up another birdie chance.
3.48: It's a funny thing, momentum. Colsaerts holes on the ninth after Garcia's superb approach. This pair have sparked into life at last. But it's Dufner's turn to sneak a wobbly putt in the tradesman's entrance and secure the half. Two of these matches are nip and tuck right now and appear crucial to Europe's chances.
3.45: Bubba sneaks one in the side door to leave Poulter crapping for the half. But that's just the sort of fight he relishes. The eight footer finds the very centre of the cup and the Englishman pumps both fists and screams 'COME ON!' to the galleries. Brilliant stuff, classic matchplay!
3.41: Belter from Rose on the 11th, Poulter with eight feet left for birdie. But that's even better from Simpson, six feet away. This match is hotting up!
Donald's 25-footer slides by - he and Westwiood are SIX down through 10 and dead and buried.
McIlroy misses from close range on the seventh green. It's just not happening for the Ulstermen.
Dream team: Keegan Bradley (right) and Phil Mickelson (left) react to another brilliant putt
3.38: Westwood's been put in another dreadful spot by Donald, in a fairway bunker some 100 yards from the 10th green. His strike is precise and sets up a birdie putt from 25 feet. But Mickelson has a similar putt - and the Americans are on in two.
3.33: Chance for Poulter and Rose. Watson sends his birdie putt past the hole leaving Webb five feet for par. Poulter rolls his up to the cup. Surely America are going to start missing a few putts, aren't they? And they have here, Simpson pushing wide.
Would you believe it... Europe are UP in a match!
3.27: Bradley takes centre stage and makes no mistake from three feet out to extend the lead over Westwood/Donald to FIVE shots through nine. Unstoppable.
3.24: And there's just no breakthrough for McIlroy/McDowell as Furyk sinks his putt on the sixth to halve the hole.
3.22: Justin Rose heads left from the tee on 10, Webb Simpson spits the fairway. First blood USA on that hole. Over on eight, Mickelson fires a delightful approach from 165 yards out to within a couple of feet.
3.18: The first hole Europe have won in an hour and 50 minutes as Poulter sinks his putt from three yards out. Cue much fist-pumping and eyes-on-stalks from Poults. The boy loves it.
3.17: Keegan berates himself on the eighth green after missing from 10 yards out, Mickelson makes no mistake to retain their four point lead. Over on eight Watson splashes out of the sand to within three feet.
Unorthodox: Bubba Watson plays a bunker shot on the ninth hole during the foursomes on Saturday
3.14: The scoreboard is still awash with red, but three of the pairings are two shots or less in favour of the USA which means Europe are within striking distance and can still turn this session their way. if it sounds like I'm grasping at straws it's because I am - the momentum is firmly with the hosts.
3.10: Justin Rose misses right at eight... chance for Webb to extend the USA lead... but he burns left! Missed chance there. Slim pickings for the Europeans right now.
3.07: Phil sinks his putt from a yard out and thusly he and Bradley extend their lead to four through seven.
3.08: And now Poulter has fluffed his putt on the edge of the green at the eighth.
3.05: Keegan has two shots to win the hole, instead of lagging up safely, he goes for it. But he misses by an inch or so right. Surely they'll have no problems moving four up there.
2.59: Westwood and Donald in big trouble again, Luke's wedge into the seventh finds sand. The world Nos 2 and 4 are not showing anywhere near the form required here.
2.52: Poulter and Watson in similar strife to the right of the seventh green, nasty spots for an up and down here. Watson's pitch is good, Poulter's is dire, wedge scooping under the ball, sending it looping into the bunker guarding the green.
But there's a let-off as Simpson misses from 10 feet. Rose's bunker shot is brilliant and the putt is conceded. Hole halved.
And that's another let-off as Johnson misses from four feet on the fifth green and Colsaerts and Garcia remain two down.
2.50: So, all in all a pretty miserable opening 90 minutes of day two for Europe, who are down in all four matches this morning. Surely Jose Maria Olazabal told them to attack his morning? To be fair, when they miss as many putts as they have, there's no use talking tactics. Europe have made just one birdie today - on the very first hole in the first match - to the USA's eight.
2.46: Donald's putt rolls round the cup and out. The Englishmen just aren't hitting it off. Mistake after mistake leaving them fighting for their lives at three down after six.
Partisan crowd: The Americans are really benefiting from the home advantage
2.44: Westwood left with a horrible bunker shot by the sixth green, on a downslope, green running away from him. That's a corker from that position, Donald has eight feet or so for par and another desperately needed half.
2.37: McIlroy sets up G-Mac for another birdie but again he wastes it, awful start for the man from Portrush on the greens. Chance for Furyk, but he races his putt well past.
Dreadful chip from Garcia by the fourth green puts Colsaerts under the pump and his putt from six feet lips out. Not good enough.
Poulter and Rose get up and down for a much-needed half.
2.31: More pressure piled on Poulter and Rose, whose drive on the long par-four sixth was excellent but kicked off horribly, sharp left into the rough. Poulter's approach with a rescue is wide of the mark, while Watson is on in two.
Wouldn't you know it, Mickelson holes the 10 footer. Over to you, Westwood... And he responds nervelessly, great half for Europe. But, frankly, that's all there is to cling on to right now. This is real American golf - attack, hit a target and hole the putt. This is no course for the strategists.
2.28: Donald with a beautiful, crisp pitch into the fifth green leaves Westy with five feet to save par,. But the way he's putting that must feel like double the distance. Mickelson powers over the back with his second, and Bradley pitches nine or 10 feet past. Chance to get one back?
2.25: McDowell misses another chance - the second in two holes - and that gifts another hole to the US. Not good enough. Or does it? No, Furyk misses with an even worse effort from even closer.
Delight: Brandt Snedeker reacts to his tee shot on the second hole, which nearly found the cup
2.24: And America are now up in all he matches after Poulter's duffed pitch leaves Rose with too much to do on the fifth.
2.22: Snedeker on the second tee, it's high, it's handsome and it very nearly finds the cup! The ball spins millimetres past the hole, fantastic shot! Is McIlroy up to the challenge? Yes he is - eight feet away.
2.17: Big putt for Donald - saves par on the fourth from eight feet after a poor Westwood chip. Mickelson can't make his birdie putt from 25 feet.
A big miss from G-Mac on the first green. Furyk rolls his putt in and Europe are down in three matches already.
2.14: This is just utterly brilliant from America - all out attack yet again, in comparison with the rather cagey Europeans. And Simpson and Watson are right on top of their game yet again. Watson hits a bomb off the tee on the long fifth hole and his partner follows up with a fairway wood right into the heart of the green. Eagle putt coming up. Europe lay up.
2.10: Dufner makes no mistake this time, America up in two matches now.
Europe need some magic from Rory today and this is a good start - his approach from the bunker leaves McDowell six feet or so for birdie. But Snedeker responds with another peach, his ball settling inside McIlroy's.
2.07: Donald for birdie on three from 25 feet but nothing doing. Bradley now to go three up after three but he misses! So they are human...
The pin on the short second hole is cut dangerously just over the water, but Johnson attacks and gets his reward, Dufner left with another six footer.
Missed putts from Simpson and Rose sees the tight first match level through four after two pars.
2.05: The final foursomes match of the morning - and the 39th Ryder Cup - heads out onto the course. McDowell kicks things off - can he do better than that horrible hook yesterday? Not really, no. He finds the same bunker as Poulter earlier on. At least we know McIlroy will have a decent shot at the green after Rose's approach.
2.02: Dufner can't convert the short putt and that's the opening hole halved in par fours.
2.00: Mickelson, well... this is ridiculous. Playing from the trees after Bradley's wayward drive, Lefty sticks another beauty six feet from the cup. That's why the call him Phil the Thrill!
1.57: Decent approach from Garcia - 25 feet for an opening birdie... and anything's possible with that man Colsaerts a your partner. But Zach Johnson's a demon iron player and his effort is superb, six feet for birdie.
1.54: Westwood and Donald's fate is inevitable at the second and they're two down after two. But now Simpson is the latest American to put his approach within inches of the hole for a birdie. Poulter's putt from 15 feet misses and the top match - the crucial match, you must think - is level through three.
Good start: Ian Poulter celebrates sinking a birdie putt to win the first hole at Medinah
1.51: Colsaerts the latest man to wade through the frothing masses at the first tee, just a rescue club by the looks of it. Fairway found. Dufner responds by bombing his driver way past the Belgian's ball.
1.48: Oh, Lee! Westwood, under big pressure from an immaculate tee shot from Mickelson on the second to five feet, finds the water. Not a good start from the English duo, but a quite remarkable early burst from Mickelson. What a player.
1.45: Rose can't hole from eight feet for par on the second, door open for Simpson. But he misses from two feet! That's real Ryder Cup nerves for you! A shocker! Europe remain one up.
1.44: But Donald misses! Dreadful putt for one of the best in the world with the flat stick. America strike their first blow of the day.
1.43: Oh hello! Mickelson and Bradley have picked up right where they left off yesterday, Lefty sticking his approach stone dead for a gimme on the first. The good news is that Westwood's shot was almost as good, leaving Donald six feet for birdie too.
1.37: Rose tees off on the short second hole and stares anxiously at his ball as it flies into the bunker at the back right of the green. Simpson is similarly nervy but his ball stops short of the sand trap.
1.35: Is there anywhere else you'd rather be in the world than the first tee at Medinah this weekend? I've never heard anything like this, it's cacophonous. Donald steps up and nails his drive down the middle, great start. But Bradley monsters his effort way past the Englishman's ball, a huge drive, albeit in the rough down the left.
1.32: Watson putts first, the ball goes nowhere near. Poulter now, pretty straight putt facing him, but he takes his time and lines it up from all angles. And it's there! Europe go one up after the first. 'Come on!' roars Poulter.
1.25: Rose gets his turn now - Hampshire's finest was mighty impressive yesterday in beating Woods and Steve Stricker along with Poulter, and losing to Dustin Johnson and Matt Kuchar in the fourballs alongside Martin Kaymer.
Rose settles his feet in the sand - there's a big lip to clear to get to the green - and hits into the early-morning Illinois mist. But what a shot! Rose finds the putting surface and leaves Poulter seven feet for an early birdie. Simpson also finds the green but is 20 feet away.
Soaking in the atmosphere: Bubba Watson stretches on the first tee on Saturday
Deafening din: American fans cheer as Watson tees off on day two of the 39th Ryder Cup
1.21: Now it's Bubba's turn, and the noise is even louder, if that was possible. Again, Watson tees off in the midst of the cheering and whooping and, like Poulter, tugs it left. But Watson rides his luck as the ball hops over Poulter's bunker and settles in the rough (if you can call it that).
1.20: The crowd are getting stuck in to Poulter but he's loving it! The Englishman waves his hands to urge the American rabble to make even more racket, and they respond with gusto. He then tees off amid the din. What a spectacle! But Poulter's first blow isn't his best and he finds the bunker down the left of the fairway.
1.15: A quite ridiculous and defeaning roar echoes among the trees surrounding the first tee at Medinah as Bubba and Webb walk over the bridge. Wow, that's something else, Bubba looks on almost in disbelief. Five minutes to go...
1.10: Here's the full list of this morning's foursomes matches. Tiger Woods has been dropped by the US for the first time in his career. That may be surprising to some, but Woods yesterday became statistically the competition's worst foursomes player after his eighth defeat. Ouch.
Justin Rose / Ian Poulter v Bubba Watson / Webb Simpson 1:20 PM
Lee Westwood / Luke Donald v Keegan Bradley / Phil Mickelson 1:35 PM
Nicolas Colsaerts / Sergio Garcia v Jason Dufner / Zach Johnson 1:50 PM
Rory McIlroy / Graeme McDowell v Jim Furyk / Brandt Snedeker 2:05 PM
Put simply, Europe cannot afford to lose this session.
1.00pm: Morning has broken in Chicago, so it's time for day two of the Ryder Cup and all that jazz. (Have no fear - I promise that's the last of the cheap references to that musical today.)
Friday was quite something, wasn't it? The tense, topsy-turvy foursomes ended with the match tied at two points apiece but Europe were left clinging on by their fingernails after an American surge in the fourballs, sparked by some outrageous, all-out attack from Bubba Watson and Webb Simpson and followed up with some equally outrageous putting from Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley.
We're back in foursomes action again in just 20 minutes time, when Watson and Simpson resume their assault, but this time they'll face stiff competition from European pair Justin Rose and Ian Poulter. You can't help but feel that match could prove decisive for the eventual winners of the 39th Ryder Cup.

A Field Guide to Naming Your Startup
There's plenty of trite advice out there on how to name your startup. Just google "startup naming advice" and you'll find all sorts of 10 Tricks to Name Your Startup! and other bullet-filled listicles. Much of the name-related content would lead you to believe that naming is easy. Just follow these steps and you'll be fine.
Thing is, finding a good name is hard. There are no shortcuts. Sure, you can pick a name at random and just go with it. But your name is the first element of your brand a potential user experiences. It's the tip of the spear, and it should be sharp.
The good news is that others have done this before. My team has named many startups, and even more non-startup brands. I've worked with them to distill the key steps they follow when working on a naming project (shoutout to Dan Price and Justin Dobbs, my two favorite brand pros). There are lots of processes out there, but this is the one that works for us.
There are four main parts to our approach—Foundation, Generation, Evaluation, and Validation. Each step is important, and the success of each phase depends on the quality of work you put forth in the prior stage.
It may not be quick, but it's worth it. And when you're finished, you'll have a name that means something, that starts a conversation about something true in your brand. To me, that's a lot better than picking a random word from the thesaurus and hoping for the best.

Reflections on moving out of LA.
After years of threats to myself and others, I've signed on the dotted line. I'm moving out of LA next weekend, and I'm going through a variety of emotions.
I came here in 2000 to attend college in Malibu, spent time in the valley, Hancock Park, Mid-City West, West LA.
I'm scared and excited. While I'm moving an hour away (rendering this post a little sentimental), there is a sense of loss. I'm giving up Yoga Booty Ballet, the Lady-Gaga-infused highlight of my week. And the apartment I have come to know so intimately, with its holes in the wall where the bedroom door accidentally hits it, and the innocuous (numerous) stains on its cheap beige carpet. And the Israeli woman down the hall who speaks quite badly of her deceased husband (and men in general) while doing laundry for her two forty-something sons who live with her in that corner apartment. I'll miss the view of the Hollywood Hills from the balcony, the one I rarely took advantage of.
And Runyon Canyon, and celebrity sightings, and my "home" McDonald's. The people I met – the ones I loved, hated or gave the finger to. And the sheer number of times I didn't feel like I could get out of bed because the city was too much for me.
Looking back, we sometimes see only what we missed out on, even whilst doing our best to get through the day or week. I did my best; I don't think it's possible to live without regrets.
So…who am I now? After years of calling myself an Angeleno, taking a strange pride in being able to "make it" in a city that devours so many, I'll be stripped of that pride and identity. The city itself no longer a character in the movie of my life.
More than anything, living here has taught me about the importance of relationships. How I want my life filled with more laughter, passionate fights, Sundays without itineraries, bike rides. It's crossed my mind that I have, at times, used the city as a beard, one that covered up the deeper insecurities I have about finding someone, whether I'm truly lovable, failure. I'm not sure anything will be different where I'm going. But I'm hopeful.
So thank you, LA – friend, foe, dispassionate observer, stranger and lover to me all these years. Who knows? I may be back, unable to resist living outside the frenzied pulse of your gritty-beautiful heart.

U.S. senators sought answers from the head of Smithfield Foods on Wednesday about whether the proposed sale of the Virginia ham maker to China's largest pork producer could hurt U.S. food safety and raise prices for American consumers.
Although there was no indication Congress would intervene to block the deal, Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Debbie Stabenow said she was worried that it would undermine the long-term competitiveness of the U.S. pork industry by exporting valuable production techniques to China.
"This is a precedent-setting case and we owe it to consumers, producers and workers to ensure we are asking the right questions and evaluating the long-term implications," the Democrat said at the hearing with Smithfield President and CEO Larry Pope.
(Read More: Pol: US Risks Losing Pork Industry to China)
Since more Chinese purchases of U.S. food companies appear to be likely, "at what point are we willing to say it's not in America's interest to have our food processing industry owned by another country," Stabenow told reporters after the hearing.
The sale of Smithfield Foods, the world's largest pork producer with more than 46,000 employees in 25 states and four countries, to Shuanghui International Holdings for $4.7 billion would be the biggest Chinese takeover of a U.S. company to date.

The Sylvan Hills Lady Bears have been very busy in the last week.
After opening the conference season with a relatively easy win over Little Rock McClellan, the Lady Bears played in last weekend's Spike Fest tournament losing pool play to Conway, North Little Rock and Siloam Springs.
Tuesday the Lady Bears resumed 5A-Central play beating Little Rock Mills in four games 25-16, 21-25, 25-22, and 25-20.
"We played some really good teams," head coach Harold Treadway said.
Treadway said the playing against sister schools in the Pulaski County district is always close and a bit unpredictable.
"It seems that no matter what, playing against a county school, it always seems like a dogfight," Treadway said.
Treadway admitted to a sluggish start in the second game against the Lady Comets on Tuesday before coming together and pulling out a win.
"We did well in the first game," Treadway said, "but we got off to a slow start in game two."
While the Lady Bears racked up wins in their first two conference matches, Treadway may have found some depth.
After one of his starters, Jordie Flippo suffered an injury to her wrist in cheerleading practice, Treadway brought up a pair of freshmen.
"We play everybody," Treadway said. "We need depth, and when Jordie got hurt, we needed some help."
Taylor Yoeman and Dabria Thompson were called upon to provide that depth. Yoeman got some immediate playing time in Tuesday's match and earned praise from her coach.
"She did very well," Treadway said. "She got a couple kills and a couple blocks."
As a hitter in Tuesday's varsity game, Yoeman was a perfect 18-of-18 in serving. In the junior varsity contest she missed just one serve in 15.
The Lady Bears have their longest road trip of the season coming up on Tuesday when they travel to Helena to take on the Lady Cougars. Treadway acknowledged that the long trip could play a factor.
"It is the longest trip of the year," Treadway said. "Sometimes the trip itself is an opponent that we have to deal with.

Travel to Mexico doesn't seem to be worth the risk
Officials with the Texas Department of Public Safety didn't cut corners in March when they told spring break travelers to avoid taking a trip to Mexico -- anywhere in Mexico. Now that it's summer, Mexico wants Texas to lighten up on tourists considering travel south of the border.
Mexico officials say the DPS stance cost Mexico untold millions of dollars in potential tourist revenue. They aren't anxious to see that kind of loss to its tourism industry again.
"We believe that these travel alerts are too broad-based and making very blind statements about Mexico that do not reflect the reality," said Rodolfo Lopez-Negrete, who is the chief operating officer of the Mexico Tourism Board.
This quandary leaves many Texans, including Midlanders, wondering if a trip south could be possible. After all, a Mexico vacation has been a favorite of Texans for decades. Many travelers would like to take a trip to Mexico if they can be sure they will be safe.
Lopez-Negrete concedes border cities remain dangerous, but there are parts of the country where vacations can be made without fear.
For instance, many Americans are traveling with relative ease and safety to places like Cabo San Lucas on the tip of the Baja Peninsula and the quaint village of Puerta Vallarta on Mexico's west coast. Cozumel continues to be a popular stop for American tourists on the Gulf of Mexico side. Cruise ships still are tendering at these spots and have plans to do so into 2013.
However, many popular tourist destinations have taken a hit over the last two years. Cruise ships have started cutting back on stops like Acapulco and Mazatlan on the west coast and Cancun on the Gulf. Lopez-Negrete said both Cancun and Vera Cruz are "perfectly safe."
We have talked to many Midlanders over the past year who have had wonderful trips to Mexico, but it is still hard to place Mexico on any preferred traveling list because the country still has a bloody drug war between feuding cartels that has claimed more than 35,000 lives since 2006. Some of this violence has been seen in tourist destinations.
Unequivocally, we can say there should be no travel by any Americans to any of Texas' border cities -- or to any Mexican city that borders the United States. You are only asking for trouble in these areas. It was once common practice for families to cross into Mexican border cities for a day of exploring, but that no longer is a wise vacation option whether entering by car or on foot.
Ciudad Juarez, located across from El Paso, is one of the most violent cities in the world, and other popular crossing areas like Nuevo Laredo and Reynosa may be safer, but not by enough to recommend crossing the border. In fact, we must stick with the idea that all border crossings should be crossed off your list.
If you are planning a trip to Mexico this summer, we ask you use common sense by traveling by air or cruise ship, staying off Mexican highways as much as possible and thoroughly checking out your destination. Absolutely talk to someone who has been there.
No matter how you approach a trip to Mexico, it's a risk/reward adventure. Prices are generally cheap, the crowds have significantly dwindled and good deals are to be had, but no matter where you go, there is a certain amount of risk and that makes us cautious in recommending such a vacation.

WASHINGTON, DC – While the rich world puts its post-crisis house in order, developing countries as a whole are becoming the new engine of global growth. Increasingly, they are a force pulling the advanced economies forward. But switching locomotives is never free of risk.
As my colleague Marcelo Giugale and I argue in our recent book The Day After Tomorrow,there are at least four tracks along which this switchover is taking place. First, public- and private-sector balance sheets in most emerging economies are relatively clean. While deleveraging is ongoing in advanced economies, many developing countries will be able to explore untapped investment opportunities – infrastructure bottlenecks being a glaring example.
Second, there is a large inventory of technologies that the developing world is yet to acquire, adopt, and adapt. Thanks to breakthroughs in information and communication, transferring those technologies is becoming cheaper and safer. Furthermore, decreased transportation costs and the breakup of vertical production chains in many sectors are facilitating poorer countries' integration into the global economy.
Third, a flipside of the emergence of new middle classes in many emerging markets is that domestic absorption (consumption and investment) in developing countries as a whole may rise relative to their own production potential. Provided that South-South trade linkages are reinforced, one might see a new round of successful export-led growth in smaller countries.
Finally, resource-intensive developing countries may benefit from strong projected relative demand for commodities in the medium term. As long as appropriate governance and revenue-administration mechanisms are put in place – particularly to avoid rent-seeking behavior – natural-resource availability may turn out to be a blessing rather than a curse for these countries.
Most developing countries were already moving along these four tracks before the global financial crisis, owing largely to improvements in their economic policies during the previous decade. Given that these policies enabled these countries to respond well to shocks coming from the crisis epicenter, there are strong incentives to keep them in place.
There is, however, a major threat to a smooth transition to new sources of global growth: the possibility of overshooting in the inevitable asset-price adjustment accompanying the shift in relative growth prospects and perceptions of risks.
Indeed, because the creation of new assets in developing countries will be slower than the increase in demand for them, the price of existing assets in those markets – equities, bonds, real estate, human capital – are likely to overshoot their long-term equilibrium value. Recent history is full of examples of the negative side-effects that can arise.
Each and every one of the recent booms and busts – in Latin America, Asia, and Russia in the 1990's, and in Eastern Europe, Southern Europe, and Ireland more recently – shared some combination of unsustainably low financial costs, asset bubbles, over-indebtedness, wage growth unwarranted by productivity gains, and domestic absorption in excess of production. In every case, these imbalances were fueled by easily identifiable periods of euphoria and sudden asset-prices increases.
True, external factors, such as foreign liquidity, were conducive – or at least permissive – to such periods of euphoria.
Twin current-account and fiscal deficits (and/or currency and debt-maturity mismatches) were the rule. But our point is that powerful forces that drive up asset prices may be unleashed even without massive liquidity inflows. The scramble for available assets and a dangerous euphoria may occur through purely domestic mechanisms.
So what should developing countries do, aside from maintaining sound macroeconomic policies, curbing excessive domestic financial leverage, and attempting to isolate themselves from volatile capital inflows?
The most important task is to facilitate and strengthen the creation of new assets, and there is much that developing countries can do in this regard. They can take advantage of the current bonanza in available capital to build contestability, transparency, and institutional quality around markets in which greenfield investments can be implemented. They can ensure that the rules they have in place are consistent and favorable to funding investment projects with long maturities. And they can invest in their own capacity for project selection and design.
These and other internal reforms would serve to moderate the furious rise in the price of developing-country assets. For that reason, they also constitute the best way to ensure that the next locomotives of global growth – and all the economies that are pulled by them – remain on the rails.

Ella Frederike Steinway (b. February 28, 1871, New York City; d. March 3, 1948, Winter Park, Florida) was the daughter of William's youngest brother, Albert Steinway, and his wife, Louisa Albertine Kreischer Steinway, youngest daughter of Balthasar Kreischer..(1)(8)(9)(11) William noted her birth in his diary: "Mrs. Albert has a fine little girl, in presence of Mother & Johanne, and no Dr. present & Albert away."(Diary, 1871-02-28) Ella married Charles F. Schmidt, Jr., son of wine importer Charles F. Schmidt, Sr., on January 11, 1894, at the Church of the Divine Paternity in New York City.(5)(8)(Diary, 1894-01-11) The marriage produced no children. Ella's husband died on February 5, 1941.(13)
During Ella's earliest years, her Uncle William dutifully recorded her progress, her illnesses, and family occasions with her, noting when she started to walk, outings to Central Park, and occasions with his first two children and those of Albert.(Diary, 1872-06-08, 1873-02-10, 1875-06-13, 1876-07-09) After Albert's death of typhoid fever when Ella was just six, these avuncular reports continued as William and his family included Ella and her sister in many activities.(Diary, 1877-10-07, 1879-12-25, 1891-05-05) William became a surrogate father to Ella, serving as her legal guardian and following her development through her teen years.(Diary, 1878-03-13, 1886-12-24, 1887-04-03) When she reached age 21, William relinquished as a gift to her his executor's commission from her father's estate while assisting with the final settlement.(Diary, 1892-03-03) At the time of her father's death, Ella's one-third of his estate had been worth $400,000.(2) William also participated in or at least noted her several trips abroad, took part in the celebration of her engagement, assisted her with the purchase of her house, and helped with the preparation of her last will and testament.(Diary, 1885-09-03, 1890-07-19, 1892-12-22, 1893-10-05, 1895-05-19) William remained close to Ella following her marriage, noting frequently that she had called on him or dined with him, sometimes with her husband, sometimes by herself, nearly to the date of his death.(Diary, 1894-02-14, 1896-09-17)
In her adult life, Ella demonstrated independence in at least two ways. One was to consider continuing to use her birth name following marriage and the other was to purchase a house in her own name while a single woman.(7) On February 12, 1894, just one month after Ella's wedding, William noted that he had met with Louisa, Ella's mother, and talked with her about Ella's "intention of calling herself Ella Steinway."(Diary, 1894-02-12) Although there were opportunities to do so, William never reported any direct discussion of the issue with Ella, and he gave no hint as to his feelings on the matter. Moreover, there is nothing in the public record to indicate that Ella persisted in her apparent desire to continue to call herself Ella Steinway.(1)(4)(10)(11)(13) Ella's engagement to Charles F. Schmidt, Jr. was announced in December of 1892.(Diary, 1892-12-22) The following October, three months before her marriage, she purchased an imposing five-story home at 30 West 69th Street, just off Central Park West. Ella was the sole owner as she was the only purchaser listed on the deed executed at the time of the purchase. (6) Following their marriage, Ella and Charles moved into Ella's home.(Diary, 1894-03-26, 04-07) This was not to be their last home, nor Ella's last venture into real estate. In 1914, she built a house in Briarcliff Manor, New York.(3)(4) She and Charles also had a home in Pleasantville, New York.(12) In 1937 they built a winter home in Winter Park, Florida, where Ella died in 1948 at age 77, having lived as a widow for seven years.(1)(11)

Quick Reference
[Ir. An Daingean, the fortress]
peninsula, c.100 square miles in west Co. Kerry, stretching from Tralee and the Sliab Mis [Slieve Mish] mountains to the most westerly point in Ireland. The peninsula is also known as Corcaguiney [ModIr. Corca Dhuibhne], after a powerful early population, the Corcu Duibne, while the name Dingle also applies to a substantial town (pop. 4,000) on the south coast and to Dingle Bay, south of the peninsula. Dingle is often perceived to be one of the most Irish parts of Ireland, containing one of the last Irish-speaking (Gaeltacht) areas and a multitude of megalithic and early historic remains. Dingle was the home of the great hero Cú Roí and is the locale of many early Irish narratives, e.g. Cath Fionntrágha, set in Ventry harbour. The Witch of Dingle was said to be a sister of the Cailleach Bhéire.

While I love a good designer red carpet moment, MTV's various awards shows always include at least a few bizarre fashion statements that make things really interesting. And last week's MTV Movie Awards upheld this fine tradition, gifting us with a few head scratching style moments.
Rapper Macklemore hit the carpet wearing a a cobalt suit — paired with a fringed Elvis cape — that was actually tailored to perfection. All the better for ensuring his safe landing when he jumped on the stage.
The U.S. Surgeon General wouldn't approve of Pitch Perfect star Hana Mae Lee's cigarette butt hat, created by Alain Lafaille for He-Ha. Or would she? "I'm not promoting smoking or not smoking at all, it's just a fun sculpture on the head," Lee declared.
Will Ferrell was so money in his three-piece currency suit, even though it was less about the Benjamins and more about the Washingtons and Lincolns. But the $5 and $10 bill-print on the funnyman's suit didn't stop him from walking on stage to accept the Comedic Genius Award to the strains of rapper Pusha T's single "Millions."

Deron Bos has a blog, and in it he details plans for a wonderful day in Seattle--I heartily endorse his views on what to do an see on Capitol Hill, and reading this entry actually made me nostalgic for a place I just spent six weeks in, which is a difficult thing to manage.
Tomorrow JM and I are going to Coney Island, which I haven't been to in two years, for some sun, relaxation and hot dogs. Looking forward to it immensely.

While most people who feel sleepy during the day have nothing wrong with them besides a schedule -- or an attitude -- that doesn't allow enough hours in the sack, others have a different problem: sleeping disorders. These quirks of biology (and occasionally psyche) prevent their victims from sleeping restfully despite long hours in bed -- or in other cases force them to sleep at times when they should be awake.
Many of those with sleep disorders are insomniacs, but others are victims of more exotic disorders such as sleep apnea, narcolepsy and periodic limb movement disorder. These relatively unusual disorders have probably been with us since the dawn of human history, but it's only in the last two decades that it's become possible to understand the physical mechanisms that underlie them and thus to treat them effectively.
This advance in knowledge of sleep disorders is due to the advent and spread of sleep laboratories. The labs' application of technology to the study of sleep has saved many sufferers from the frustration, depression, isolation and despair that can result when their disorders aren't recognized for what they are.

The Israeli and Palestinian leaders met with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak separately yesterday, after Mubarak conferred with the US Middle East envoy on a push for direct talks between the two men.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjam in Netanyahu and Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas, who are holding US-brokered indirect talks, did not make any statements after the meetings.
The official MENA news agency said Mubarak affirmed to Netanyahu the "necessity of preparing the right conditions to achieve the vision of a two state solution on the ground."
Mubarak, who publicly supports Palestinian conditions for resuming direct talks with Israel that were suspended 18 months ago, first hosted US envoy George Mitchell, who met with Netanyahu in Jerusalem earlier in the day.
Netanyahu told reporters before flying to Cairo that he would discuss the prospects for direct talks with Mubarak.
Abbas agreed to the indirect talks in May after face-to-face negotiations broke off in December 2008 following a devastating Israeli military offensive against Gaza.
The Palestinian leadership restated the conditions after a meeting between the US envoy and Abbas in the West Bank town of Ramallah yesterday.
Senior Palestinian official Yasser Abed Rabbo called for greater clarity from Washington about its position on new negotiations, insisting the Palestinians wanted to address the core issues of the Middle East conflict.
"Until now there is no clarity in the (US) position on a number of issues, especially those related to moving into final status talks," Abed Rabbo told reporters.
"The three-hour meeting between Abbas and Mitchell was important but there are several issues, most important among them the settlements and the situation in Jerusalem, that need more clarity," Abed Rabbo said.
The Palestinians have demanded a complete freeze on Israeli settlement expansion ahead of direct talks and have accused Israel of undermining the process by approving new settler homes in annexed Arab east Jerusalem, which they want as the capital of their promised state.
Earlier this month, during a visit to Washington by Netanyahu, Obama said he hoped to see direct talks begin before a partial Israeli moratorium on the expansion of Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank ends in September.
In recent weeks, Abbas had appeared to back away from his previous demand for a full settlement freeze as a condition for opening direct talks, instead insisting on "progress" on the issue of borders and security.
In an interview published on Saturday, he said he would meet Netanyahu if Israel agreed in principle to a Palestinian state based on the borders before Israel's occupation of the West Bank during the 1967 war, with equal land swaps and the presence of an international security force.
"Israel must accept that the Palestinian territory in question be that of the 1967 borders and with the presence of a third party," he told Jordan's Al-Ghad newspaper, referring to Gaza and the West Bank, including east Jerusalem.
"This will push us to embark on direct negotiations," Abbas said.
The Palestinians say Netanyahu has yet to respond to the proposal, and the prime minister has previously said Israeli forces must remain in the strategic Jordan Valley after any peace deal to prevent weapons smuggling.
In an indication of the domestic pressure Abbas faces, his own Fatah party on Thursday told him not to join direct talks with Netanyahu's right-wing government without showing progress in the US-brokered indirect talks.
