|Back to Home > Content > > Hunting a Tiger In Africa, by Ernest Hemingway
The mornings were thin and dry and the purple sky hung low off the green hills. We had been camping out on the plains for three weeks looking for the tiger and we had not yet found it, but the room service had been very good. Every morning we had eggs and bacon and ham and beans and brioche and Mary had Cafe au lait and I had pernod with pernod, and they were wonderful breakfasts. We'd lie in bed and make love in the morning and then have breakfast again and then listen to Miss Piaf on the radio. This morning was no different from the other mornings except that I had an extra pernod with pernod and Mary ate her brioche with a spoon instead of a fork and then she looked at me severely.
"You're not going hunting in that, are you?"
"I was planning to, yes."
I changed into my grey Brooks Brothers suit with the fine weave and my Oxford shoes. We looked for the tiger, the one with my name written on it. There were no tigers but there were elks and giraffes and gazelles and we shot all of them. If you want to kill an animal you have to respect it and then you have to love it and then you have to kill it. It is not easy to kill a thing you admire so much, but as the homosexual writer Oscar Wilde said, every man kills the thing he loves.
It was then on the plain in the middle of the tall grasses that I saw him standing, tall and majestic. It was an old lion but it had Mary's name on it. Why someone would write "MARY" on the side of a lion is anybody's guess, but there it was and there was nothing to do, Mary had to shoot it. I handed her the gun. She aimed and fired. She missed the lion with her name on it and shot the lion with my name on it. It was a bigger lion because my name is a bigger name, and it went down heavily.
"Sorry, Hem, I shot your lion."
"It doesn't matter."
"It does matter. I know you're upset."
"Forget it. It was just a lion."
"But didn't you want it?"
"No, it doesn't matter, let's go back to the camp, I have to pee."
At the base camp I found the men's room. There was only one urinal, made entirely of ivory, and Scott Fitzgerald was standing at it, staring down at his genitals. "Hey, Hem," he said in his slightly girlish voice, which worried you, until you thought about it, and then it worried you even more. "Do you think my penis is too small?"
"It's fine, Scott. Zip up and go home to your wife."
"But doesn't it look small?" He squinted down at his equipment, and then he squinted some more. Then he stopped squinting.
"You're looking at it from a bad angle," I told him. "It's fine. Go home and make love to your wife. Put a pillow under her ass. Just get out of the way, I have to piss."
Fitzgerald got out of the way. I stepped up, unzipped, and started pissing. I thought of how the elks piss--always standing up and holding their penises tightly with their front hoofs. I thought of elephants pissing, lifting up a hind leg like a large dog. Then I thought of the lion with my name on it, how Mary had shot it and how it would never piss again.
· · ·
We had lunch in a little place called Chez Mitzi, not far from Mount Kilimanjaro, around the corner from the Place Vendome. I had a pernod with a whiskey and Mary had a camembert milkshake, which she said was not so good. Afterwards, coming out of the revolving doors, Mary caught one of her fingers on the edge of the door, and I said there was nothing to do in a case like this, we'd have to deal with it. It was a long way from the base camp and we'd never get a cab now, not with the rain like it was. We couldn't leave her there because then the wild game would get her or maybe the hat check girl. It was best to deal with it now, quickly and surely as things had to be done.
"It's only a bruise, Hem. Just give me a Band-Aid."
I knew she was being brave and the best thing would be to put her out of her misery and shoot her as we had done with poor little Bumby when he fell off his tricycle in Cuba. It was a tough thing to do, but not as tough as not doing it, and as with Bumby it had to be done. I took my Wesson double-barreled shotgun and shot Mary just behind the left ear. It was a clean shot and she went down heavily like the old lion with my name on it.
· · ·
It is a Zulu custom that what you kill you have to eat. It is a good custom. I dragged Mary back to the base camp and we cooked her up with an Alfredo cream sauce. It tasted like chicken. The Zulu chief thanked me and gave me a teenage Wakamba love slave called Iris Grendale. She was black as the African night and she said she'd just finished her freshman year at Vassar and was working as an intern at Glamour magazine or maybe it was Mademoiselle. It didn't matter. She had high cheekbones and high breasts and an expense account. All she talked about was shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf-Goodman and B. Altman and Bloomingdale's, and I told her I didn't much care for shopping and then I told her to shut up. We went into her tent. All over the walls were pictures of Mr. Presley and Mr. Brando. We made love, quickly and severely, and then I left to go out hunting again.
· · ·
I walked several hours on the plains. The light was turning grey as the sun was going down over the green hills of Africa, and I saw a large, heavy animal peeing majestically with its hind hooves holding its proud penis. It was not an African tiger, it was a marshelt, which looks more like an African tiger than an African tiger doesif you don't know what an African tiger looks like. I let it go. I felt bad about having shot Mary after she shot my lion and eating her with the Zulu doctor, but it was the way of the jungle and it was what you had to do. And what else could you do anyway? And then there was Iris Glendale. And besides, there was a party in Tent 11B.
· · ·
When I got back to the base camp Marlene Dietrich was standing at the billiard table and she was up 900 dollars. The Zulus were brave, majestic people, but they were not good billiard players. The Kraut looked over at me.
"It goes?"
"It goes."
"I heard what happened with Mary."
"It happened."
"Just as well. She was a lousy cook."
"Yes, nevertheless."
The party was getting very crowded now and someone started a conga line. I stood by the side of the tent and watched the young people enjoy themselves the way young people do. The witch doctor, whom the local natives had taken to calling "Bully Willis" after he won the middleweight boxing championship in Chicago in 1926, asked me what I was doing in the Congo.
"Hunting a tiger," I told him.
"There are no tigers in Africa," said Bully.
I thought about this for a while, and then I thought some more, and then I stopped thinking.
"In that case, Bully, just give me a double Scotch."
"Right you are, Papa. Coming right up."

As we started up the Cincinnati office of Rockfish last Fall, we had a "wish list" of brands that we hoped to work with. At the top of that list was 143 year-old, Cincinnati-based US Playing Card, maker of Bicycle, Aviator, and Bee. When you think about classic brands, you can't do much better than their portfolio.
On the other hand, playing cards are the classic type of business that are being disrupted by digital. On the heels of the poker craze of the 2000's, card playing is still extremely popular. But today, people are as likely to play cards on Facebook as they are to play around a table. This fact was not lost on US Playing Card, which was one reason they named Rockfish as their Digital Agency of Record earlier this year.
Last week, we had a chance to bring our first work to market as part of our partnership with Bicycle and US Playing Card. Under the new tagline of "Play on, Players", we helped Bicycle relaunch their social presence including:
- Newly redesigned Facebook Page: Exclusive limited edition cards (including this awesome Big Gun Military Deck), rules to play your favorite games, and great giveaways.
- YouTube channel: The source for the best playing card videos…from magic to card games to cardistry
- Relaunched Twitter: Featuring exclusive products, special videos, tips and discussions.
There is going to be even more exciting work coming from Bicycle and US Playing Card in the coming months. If you want to be the first to hear about it, be sure to like Bicycle on Facebook, follow them on Twitter and subscribe over at YouTube. I promise that you won't be disappointed.

It's ALL in Your Brain
An insider look to one of the scariest diseases of adult now a days..
Drugs and Medication
Modern drugs can help sooth agitation, anxiety, depression, and sleeplessness, and may also help boost participation in daily activities. Newer medications are also becoming available that can improve or preserve thinking skills, at least temporarily.Please note : Regular reassessment is required while you are on any of these medications. This helps doctors determine if the medicines are being tolerated without troublesome side effects. These regular visits are also to make sure the patient is responding to the medication appropriately.It is important to note that consumption of some nutritional supplements or medications can have serious side effects or interfere with other prescribed medications. Please consult with your doctor before using any nutritional supplements or medications.
Vitamin B, E, Folic Acid, and Others
Several studies have investigated whether nutritional supplements and certain medications may reduce the risk of developing dementia. Some of the findings are summarized below:
- It has been suggested that antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, may reduce the risk of developing dementia. Interestingly, the protective effect of these vitamins was enhanced when they were acquired through food, rather then through supplements.
- Adequate intake of vitamin B and folate can help reduce homocysteine levels, and this may reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
Anti-Inflammatory Agents
As inflammation correlates with brain damage caused by Alzheimer's disease it has been suggested that some anti-inflammatory agents may help delay dementia. The effectiveness of anti-inflammatory agents in prevention has not been proven, but researchers now know that they are not very effective in treating Alzheimer's disease.
Some studies have found that moderate alcohol (1-3 drinks per day) and caffeine intake may have a protective influence. However, it is important to emphasize that alcohol and caffeine also have other negative effects that may outweigh their potential benefit in delaying dementia.
Diabetes Medications
Careful management of diabetes with medications that maintain blood glucose levels within a healthy range may also reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
Cholesterol Lowering Medicines
Cholesterol lowering drugs may lower the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.Cholesterol lowering medicines known as statins, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen or aspirin, ginkgo biloba, and Eldepryl – a monoamine oxidase inhibitor – can also help a great deal.
Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors
Alzheimer's causes the destruction of neurons (brain cells). It also destroys the important chemical messenger acetylcholine, which is responsible for memory and other cognitive skills. While no drug has yet been shown to completely protect the brain against the effects of Alzheimer's, drugs that protect acetylcholine from destruction appear to hold the symptoms at bay for a while longer.These medications are known as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and include :

As subtle hints of autumn chill begin to perforate the still-crickety evenings and fog-nestled mornings here in Whitesburg, we here at WMMT wanted to take a minute and reflect on The Summer That Has Been. From what many visitors dubbed "the best Seedtime festival in years" in early June through a summer filled with a diverse array of special events and happenings, we've certainly kept busy, and some other media outlets have taken notice! Here's a smattering of some recent press WMMT has received:
Ronnie Ellis, a syndicated columnist based in Frankfort, Ky., wrote a fantastic piece on his experience listening to WMMT while visiting eastern Kentucky. Highlights:
As I followed a friend's pickup along the serpentine, undulating road through lush forests and past the Magoffin County line and into Floyd County, I listened to the world's best radio station: WMMT out of Whitesburg. . . I love the disc jockeys who obviously love their jobs, the eclectic music and their home in the mountains around Whitesburg. I love the conversational way they speak to (and not at) listeners as they sometimes fumble to cue up the next song. It's more like someone's front porch or hearth than the usual mindless rattle of most dee jays.
[ed.'s note: all our DJs are volunteers! but they certainly all love what they do, as do we.]
Calls From Home, WMMT's weekly program broadcasting phone messages from friends and loved ones to those incarcerated in central Appalachia's prison system, has received a great deal of fantastic press this summer, especially in the wake of the hunger strike that took place just across Pine Mountain (and well within our listening area) at the Red Onion State Penitentiary.
- WRIR 97.3 FM, Richmond (Va.) Independent Radio, put together an incredible, half-hour long radio piece on the hunger strike and Calls from Home, which you can hear right here.
- The Abolitionist, a publication of Critical Resistance, featured an article on Calls From Home titled, "From the Inside Out: Prisoner Voices and Radio Waves," which you can see by clicking the link and scrolling down to page 6. Sylvia Ryerson, DJ "Sly Rye," and John "Mac" Gaskins, a community organizer who was formerly incarcerated at Red Onion, both contributed to the article.
- The San Francisco Bay View ran an article about both the Red Onion hunger strike and Calls From Home.
- And Truthout also published a story about the Red Onion strike and the Calls From Home program.
We mentioned it on here before, but it bears repeating our gratitude once again: in advance of a WMMT fundraiser that took place in Lexington on July 7 featuring none other than Bonnie "Prince" Billy, our most wonderful, generous, and talented friends in Lexington put together some incredibly cool press (thank you all so very much!):
- Ace Weekly, Lexington's alternative paper, ran a fantastic article by Kakie Urch promoting the show, featuring this gem: "WMMT was local before local was cool."
- The Chevy Chaser Magazine out of Lexington was wonderful enough to run a q & a about WMMT and the show (many thanks to Ms. Saraya Brewer!)
The Hazard Herald newspaper in Hazard, Ky. wrote a great article profiling WMMT's recent Coal Miner Dedication Day.
Finally, WMMT's intrepid Community Engagement Director Sam Neace (a/k/a the Killer Neace / Green Eggs & Uncle Sam / Samsonite Luggage / Samwise the Mellifluous / "Sam"my Hagar / etc.) wrote a wonderful guest-blog for the National Center for Media Engagement on WMMT's community survey project, titled "Want to Know What Your Community Needs? Just Ask."
Thanks to all for their wonderful writing and their most generous help in what has been a whirlwind of a ridiculously fun summer for all of us at WMMT. From attending Louisville Loves Mountains in May to Seedtime & the NFCB conference in June to the Bonnie "Prince" Billy show & the Forecastle Festival in July to the Tacoma Fundraiser here in August to the hunger strike work throughout, not even to mention the regular, we-put-the-"possum"-in-"chaos" (just go with it) day-to-day operations here at WMMT, it's been a heck of a summer. Thanks to each and every one of you for being a part of our Mountain Community, and stay tuned for the certain uncertainty that the fall will bring on your Mountain Community Eclectic Public Radio station, WMMT.

The place, called Laphto, is a nice addition to the few recreation places expats commonly hang-out. It's got a nice gym, an olympic length swimming pool, a bowling hall, nice shops. Its cafe is yet not operational and one may feel hungry after the long swimming. I asked owners/managers and they confirmed to that it will kickoff soon.let's talk about it and other places.

2003 Hyundai Sonata • 135,000 miles
I have a 2003 Sonata that works as it is idle but stalls as I try to take off when I accelerate. The problems started about three years ago when the car would stall while driving it on the road. The car would bog down and run at about 5 mph and then it would turn off. I changed out the fuel pump and worked for about three months. I then changed out plugs, camshaft sensors and even the timing belt because the car would not start. After all this the car worked for a few months and began stalling and bogging down again. The occurrence of the bogging down would occur once in a while just like the previous times. This situation continued up to this moment as we speak. The hand held computers have indicated that there is a problem 171 lean fuel. I replaced the AGR valve last week and then the computer indicated the thermostat/oxygen sensor and also the sensor where the manifold cataylic converter is. The sensors on the manifold/cataylic converter looks to have a grayish to cream color to them. I did not replace them because the computer now indicated something wrong with the air flow sensor next to the air filter. I replaced the air flow sensor. The car worked for about two miles running and it started stalling and bogging again. At present the car can run at low speed and eventually take off if you accelerate at a very low speed. Once it takes off, it will run on the freeway. When you come to an intersection, the routine starts again. I am running out of patience. I'm afraid of going to a dealership and they tell me it needs all kinds of sensors. Please help.

Editor's note: This story was initially published Sept. 3, 2006.
Gettysburg National Military Park rangers arrested one man Saturday at a planned World Knights of the Ku Klux Klan rally. Held at the Cyclorama Center, the 2 1/2 hour rally was attended by about 30 Klan members, seven re-enactor counter-protesters and more than 100 spectators.
Security for the event was led by the U.S. Park Police, a special law enforcement section of the National Park Service, and assisted by park rangers, Pennsylvania State Police, Cumberland Township Police Department and the Gettysburg Borough Police Department.
The U.S. Park Police kept the Klan rally, counter-protesters and public separated from each other by hundreds of feet and metal barriers for safety reasons, said park police Public Information Officer Lt. Scott Fear.
"Basically the only time it becomes heated is when they get in proximity of each other," Fear said.
Hearing the members of the Klan as they spoke into a microphone in their reserved space was difficult because of the distance.
While no arrests were made for physical altercations, Fear said, the National Park Service arrested a man as he ran out with a gay pride rainbow flag onto a closed field near where the Klan were rallying.
The man was later charged with entering a closed area. The park rangers issued him a citation for the misdemeanor and released him, Fear said. There will also be a mandatory court hearing at a later date. Gettysburg National Military Park spokeswoman Katie Lawhon would not release the name of the man Saturday night.
'Splinter groups'
But the man was part of a group of young people, mostly wearing black, who came to the public area with a megaphone and a gay pride flag to counter-demonstrate. The only group with an official permit to counter-demonstrate was the 37th Texas Cavalry, a re-enactor group that tells the story of people of color in the Confederate Army.
That didn't stop the group of young people from turning up at the park though.
Chris Stevenson, of Fairfield, was one of the people gathered around the megaphone. Dressed in all black with a black cap, he said he arrived with about 30 people, most of whom came from Frederick, but some came from other states. He described the Frederick counter-protesters as a loose-knit group of people who belong to social justice organizations and believe in "peace power." However, many other spectators called the group "anarchists."
Some in the group said they described themselves as anarchists or socialists, but that the group is varied.
"Obviously, we're trying to disrupt this and we've managed to do that," Stevenson said as members of his group chanted, "Hey, hey. Ho, ho. The KKK has got to go."
He said many of the people he came with are angry about the comments the KKK makes about homosexuals and blacks. And they aren't afraid to show their anger to the KKK, especially since he believes the Klan holds events like this to scare people.
But the antics of the Frederick group and their supporters upset many of the people attending the event and caused the law enforcement to be concerned about the KKK and protesters clashing.
"The groups that protest (with permits) aren't the ones that cause problems," Fear said. "It's these splinter groups."
At one point, more than a dozen of the young people approached a few Klansmen arriving late and confronted them. A few pushed each other, but police separated them quickly.
'Pointless to fight'
Matt Callery, a Gettysburg resident, watched the Frederick group quietly.
"I think it's pointless to fight hate with hate," Callery said.
Callery heard about the rally and decided to come check it out. He opposes the Klan and said many Gettysburg residents do as well. But, as he looked around, he didn't see many familiar faces.
"A lot of people I talked to were against it and thought the best way to do it is just ignore them," Callery said.
Still, he was shocked to see members of the public near the Cyclorama Center nodding in agreement with the Klan. He saw a little child give the Hitler salute during the rally as well.
But he also didn't like the tactics of the Frederick group.
Gettysburg resident Kelly Crockett came to the rally because she disapproves of the KKK.
But she found once she got there that she also disapproved of the Frederick group's attempt to protest. She was offended by their profanity and the personal attacks on Klansmen.
As the Klan members were walking down to their cars across Taneytown Road from the Cyclorama Center, one of the Frederick group members shouted, "Get over here, I'll take every single one of you" into the microphone.
Crockett went to the front of the Frederick group and told them she didn't approve of their tactics.
"I don't agree with the KKK and I wish I could agree with the protesters, but it's all hate," Crockett said. "They were asking for peace and (at the same time) were being hateful with personal attacks, attacks on their families, appearance and heritage."
'Meet with honor'
Hundreds of Gettysburg residents also protested the Klan rally by attending a Community Unity Day at the Gettysburg Recreation Park, and many college students went to a diversity picnic at Gettysburg College. Three members of the 37th Texas Cavalry and four other re-enactors protested quietly for about 45 minutes at the beginning of the Klan rally.
The re-enactors turned their backs, bowed their heads and placed their kepis a Civil War cap over their hearts.
"We're doing that in honor of the true heritage and history of the South and its fallen heroes, as well as our disgust of the racist garbage going on behind us," said Bob Harrison, 1st sergeant with the 37th Texas Calvary. Harrison, who is black himself, researches the story of people of color who served in the Confederate army. He is offended the KKK claims it is "the ghost of the Confederacy."
"No longer will they go unchallenged. Wherever they step on holy ground, we will be there to meet them with honor," Harrison said.
Saturday's event is the fifth KKK event for which the U.S. Park Police has provided security recently, including a rally at Antietam earlier this year and a Klan visit to an event at Harper's Ferry this summer.
Visitors to the park received hand outs explaining what was happening. At this point, the park doesn't know how much the extra law enforcement will cost, but Lawhon said it will be paid for from a special National Park Service fund for events such as this.
Overall, the U.S. Park Police thought the rally and protests went smoothly.
"It's always a delicate balance to keep the park open and keep everyone safe," Fear said. "That's what happened today, and it really went quite well."

The Rules of golf, like the wider game itself, are constantly evolving. For the Rules of Golf 2012-15, a total of 101 proposed changes were considered. These ranged from the very minor - improved grammar or changes to cross-references - to some that would have resulted in fundamental changes to the way the game is played.
David Rickman, The R&A's Director of Rules and Equipment Standards, talks through some of the key changes and others that were considered but ultimately did not make the cut.
Q. What in your view are the big changes for 2012-15?
A. The two changes I would highlight are the Rules concerning smoothing sand or soil in a hazard and the ball moving after the player has addressed it. With regard to the first of these, this is really about raking bunkers before playing from that same bunker. We are still prohibiting players from testing the condition of the bunker or from improving their lie or line of play, but we are now allowing a player to, say, rake a footprint somewhere else in the bunker. What we are trying to do is enable people to tidy the bunker up in accordance with the etiquette section of the Rules and at the same time help speed up play a little and avoid unnecessary penalties.
In terms of the second big change, we have amended the rule on a ball moving after address. This is a particular issue on very windy days. We most often see this on the putting green. In the past, if the ball moved after address, irrespective of the true cause of the ball moving, the player would be penalised. From 2012 onwards we have a specific exception that says that if you can effectively prove that something else has caused the ball to move, most likely a gust of wind, then there will not be a penalty and the ball is played from its new position.
Q. Has this been influenced by some of the high profile cases we have seen in recent years from professional golf?
A. Yes. The wind issue was brought into sharp focus during the 2008 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, where we had a very windy Championship. Despite the best efforts of the green-keeping staff in terms of course set- up, the tolerance and patience of the players, it was a real struggle to complete the Championship in a timely and fair way. We also had another windy Championship at St Andrews in 2010. That said, it would be wrong to suggest that it is only about what happens at these Major events, but all of this pointed to a concern that if the ball does get blown by the wind, which happens on courses across the world, it would be inappropriate to continue to penalise players in these circumstances.
The most recent high-profile case we had was at the 2011 Open Championship with Rory McIlroy during the final round. He addressed the ball and quite clearly a gust of wind moved it. He was penalised, he accepted the penalty but if that were to happen next year then there would be no penalty.
Q. The time of starting has also changed?
A. Time of starting is a good example of the Rules evolving over time. The traditional long-term penalty has been disqualification if you fail to arrive on time. But in the last 20 years or so we have had a condition that many competition organisers have introduced which modifies that disqualification penalty to loss of the first hole in match play or two strokes at the first hole in stroke play. The change for 2012 takes it to the next stage and introduces this modified penalty as the general rule. So in all circumstances, in whatever competitions you play, there is now a five minute window where it's obviously not great to incur a penalty or lose the first hole, but at least you are not disqualified.
Q. Earlier this year we saw the retrospective disqualification of R&A - Working for Golf Ambassador Padraig Harrington after a viewer watching on HDTV spotted his ball move as the marker was removed. How did you respond to that?
A. We had been concerned for some time that, in certain limited circumstances, disproportionate disqualification penalties have been required by the Rules. The case involving Padraig Harrington in Abu Dhabi in January this year (where he accidentally caused his ball to move on the putting green with his finger in the act of removing his ball-marker) was the latest in a series of Rules incidents where disqualifications have been caused by score card errors identified as the result of recent advances in video technologies.
In particular, we were concerned about cases where a player is not aware he has breached a Rule because of facts that he did not know and could not reasonably have discovered prior to returning his score card. In these limited circumstances, players have little if any protection against a breach of the Rules escalating into a disqualification and, therefore, it was decided that an immediate change of interpretation was required. The revision to Decision 33-7/4.5 was announced on 7 April 2011 and was effective immediately.
Q. In what other ways has technology forced you to re-examine the Rules?
A. The popularity of the MP3 player has raised the question of whether a player can listen to music while playing a round of golf. It is a question, which was given serious consideration, and is clearly one we would not have faced 30 years ago. Aside for the culture of the game and the tradition of interacting with one's playing partners, we felt that some advantage could be obtained from its use. For example, cocooning one's self by listening to music could aid concentration and help shut out external distractions faced by other players. Accordingly, a new Decision for 2012 states that listening to music while making a stroke or for a prolonged period during a round, is a breach of Rule 14-3, the penalty for which is disqualification.
Q. Did anything else receive extensive consideration during the last Rules cycle?
A. Many issues return time and again but the two that stick out in my mind from this review are the Rules governing the unplayable lie and a proposed reduction in the time allowed to search for a lost ball from five to three minutes.
If you decide your ball is unplayable you currently have three options. Under penalty of one stroke, you can; replay your last shot, drop a ball within two club lengths no nearer the hole or go back directly in line with the flag as far as you want and drop a ball. The proposal was that if a player decides to play the ball as it lies, but subsequently fails to get the ball into a playable position, he would be allowed to return to any of the positions from which he had previously played a stroke on that hole. The thought was that this would allow someone to complete their round when otherwise they would be forced to record a no return. After much debate it was decided that we should not introduce the change. It was felt that it was getting technically very complicated and that golf is ultimately a strategic game, there are times you have to take decisions and live with the consequences. Put that together with the possibility of slowing play and confusing a reasonably well-understood rule, it was deemed to be an unnecessary change for what is a rare situation.
With the proposed reduction in time allowed to search for a lost ball, it was a concern over unintended consequences that informed our thinking. The five minute rule is one most golfers know and has been in place since 1891. For this reason any change would have to offer a clear improvement. The initial thought and motivation behind the change is that it would save time. However, we were quick to realise it could have unintended consequences. A player who has not played a provisional would have to take a long, time consuming, walk back to the tee after three minutes when the ball may have been found after looking for three and a half minutes. There is no conclusive answer but to amend a fundamental, historic and well-known rule we need to be wholly convinced it would be an improvement.
Q. Are these potential changes now off the table for good?
A. Not at all. The Rules are constantly evolving and under continual review. The four-year cycle starts now and I have little doubt that the regular questions will be asked again. Watch this space!

Today's definition of medical professionalism is evolving – from autonomy to accountability, from expert opinion to evidence-based medicine, from self-interest to teamwork and shared responsibility.
Medical Professionalism in the New Millennium: A Physician Charter was written in 2002 by the ABIM Foundation, the ACP Foundation and the European Federation of Internal Medicine. The fundamental principles of the Physician Charter are the primacy of patient welfare, patient autonomy and social justice. The Charter also articulates professional commitments of physicians and health care professionals, including:
For many, medical professionalism is the "heart and soul of medicine." More than the adherence to a set of medical ethics, it is the daily expression of what originally attracted them to the field of medicine – a desire to help people and to help society as a whole by providing quality health care. But many physicians today experience profound obstacles to fulfilling the ideals of medical professionalism in practice.
This website, and our work, is dedicated to exploring how physician leaders, health care organizations and public policy can foster medical professionalism as a means to improve health care.
The word cloud below depicts the words physicians most associate with medical professionalism:

Denis Leary
In 1992, No Cure for Cancer was filmed for Showtime; an album and book of the monologue -- a bitter rant against the prevalence of no-smoking laws and the loss of personal freedom -- soon followed. At about the same time Leary also filmed a series of snarky promotional clips for MTV which greatly boosted his visibility; after a series of small film roles, he graduated to star status for 1994's black comedy The Ref. Although 1996's romantic comedy Two If by Sea, which Leary also co-wrote, was a critical and commercial failure, he quickly bounced back with a string of projects, including film appearances, TV spots, and a projected sequel to No Cure for Cancer. The LP Lock 'N Load, which featured a guest appearance from the great Janeane Garofalo, appeared in 1997. ~ Jason Ankeny

Viber's got 3.5 million users in Vietnam. Besides Whatsapp, whose numbers are still not confirmed, Viber is crushing everybody else in the messaging app battle in Vietnam. We know that both Line and KakaoTalk have one million users each in the country, so Viber (which also does VoIP calls, like Skype) is well ahead.
To uncover their strategy in this market, we talked to the CEO of Cyprus-based Viber Media, Talmon Marco. He explains that Viber adds 20,000 users per day, and in the month of February it added another 500,000 users. So I had to ask Marco, what do you think is the reason for your explosive February growth? Turns out, it's a trend:
We do not see February as "explosive growth" but rather as ongoing growth. For example in January we added 390,000 users, in December 360,000, and in Nov 290,000 – so numbers are ramping up. My guess is that in March we will add about 600,000 users.
These numbers are especially compelling when you consider that Viber has not actively promoted the chat app in Vietnam. In fact, the startup does not actively promote the app in any of the countries it operates in.
Marco also commented on types of activations, saying that Viber sees more activations on iOS than on Android in Vietnam, but only by a very small margin.
Lastly, Vietnamese users will be happy to hear about what's coming in Viber 3.0:
As announced a few weeks ago, Vietnamese support is coming soon with Viber 3.0. We will be looking to further support the local market with additional features.
By the way, Viber recently announced it has over 175 million users worldwide. And e27 caught that Viber's got over a third of its users in Asia. These recent numbers from Viber will certainly be a concern for Line, KakaoTalk, Zalo – three rivals who have a confirmed user-base of one million users or less – and any other chat app hoping to gain the attention of Vietnam's young mobile users.
Sidenote: Marco has assured me that in Viber 3.1, the team will be allowing users to take out the notifications I complained about in my previous article.

auper is a Magic Online format in which all cards used must have been printed at the common rarity in a Magic Online set or product. Common promo cards are only legal if the card has been printed at the common rarity in a set or product. Other than that, the usual rules for Constructed decks apply (a minimum deck size of 60 cards in the main deck, an optional 15-card sideboard, and so on). If a common version of a particular card was ever released on Magic Online, any versions of that card printed at other rarities are also legal in this format.
Example: Counterspell was a common card in the Seventh Edition core set, which was released on Magic Online. Counterspell was reprinted in Masters Edition II with an uncommon expansion symbol. Both versions of the card can be used in the Pauper format.
Example: Hymn to Tourach, another uncommon from Masters Edition II, is not legal for use in the Magic Online Pauper format. Even though Hymn to Tourach was printed as a common in the Fallen Empires set, that set was never released on Magic Online

Danish design students gave the Copenhagen climate talks a fashionable kick-off last week with "Innovating Sustainable Fashion," an eco-fashion show featuring 19 green-thinking collections.
Organized by Center for Responsible Design and Copenhagen Fashion Fairs, this show had students competing for five prizes in three categories that may have lost some meaning in translation. "Design For Environment" is pretty self explanatory, and "Design Considering Use" seems to have to do with functionality -- but I'm hard pressed to figure out what the "Design For Inclusion" category was about.
In any case, the first place winner was Tobias Noe Harboe from the Danish Design School, who took home a check for 15,000 Danish Kroner. Planning to be in Copenhagen for COP15? Visit the Danish Design Center before Jan. 31, 2010, to see the designs on exhibit.
