Young female Muay Thai fighter takes out boy (Video)
This kiddie Muay Thai bout comes to us from Thailand, and it features a mixed-gender match-up. It appears the young man -- and the crowd -- thinks he's going to get an easy win. What he -- and the crowd -- did not count on was this young lady coming ready for a fight. After she gets in several punches, taking the fight as seriously as anyone should take a fight, he retires.
Kudos to the young lady. She worked hard, went about her business, and got the win. It's a safe bet this is the last time the young man doesn't take a fight seriously -- no matter the opponent.
Thanks, Deadspin.

Asian shares rise on global recovery as Fed fears ease
By Chikako Mogi
TOKYO (Reuters) - Asian shares extended gains on Thursday, buoyed by rising global equities overnight on expectations the U.S. Federal Reserve will not rush to end its stimulus program, but investor caution over Chinese markets capped the upside.
The dollar rose and global equity markets advanced for a second day on Wednesday after a surprisingly sharp downward revision to first-quarter U.S. economic growth eased fears that the Fed would soon wind down its bond-buying scheme which has underpinned investor risk appetite.
Still, with volatility amplified this week by fears of Chinese credit problems undermining growth in the world's second largest economy, investors warily waited for Chinese markets to start trading.
"If China shares are weak again today, the Japanese market could see volatility and the Nikkei could be dragged down to around 12,800, so the market could be volatile after the Shanghai market opens (at 0130 GMT)," said Kenichi Hirano, a strategist at Tachibana Securities.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan <.miapj0000pus> rose 0.5 percent after climbing 1.85 percent on Wednesday to break a four-day losing streak and moving away from an 11-month low touched earlier in the week. Still, the gauge's relative strength index (RSI) remained weak with investor confidence still shaken by a month-long emerging markets slide.
Australian shares <.axjo> gained 0.7 percent, against a background of concerns over slower growth in China and the surprise change of prime minister late on Wednesday.
South Korean shares <.ks11> jumped 2 percent as battered stocks drew bargain hunters.
Also on Wednesday, European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said an exit from the ECB's exceptional monetary policy measures remains distant, noting downside risks to growth in the euro zone economy and the ECB's readiness to take fresh action when called for.
These comments came as China's central bank earlier this week moved to quell concerns about a credit crunch after days of spiking interbank rates by saying it had provided funds to some institutions and will do so if there is a need.
Japan's Nikkei stock average opened up 1.05 percent after declines in Chinese financial stocks pulled the index down to end the previous day with a 1 percent loss. <.t/>
But after the Nikkei closed, China shares ended flat in choppy trade on Wednesday, trimming early losses as Chinese financial markets were calmed by the central bank's pledge to prevent any lasting credit crunch.
Hong Kong indexes had their best day in nearly six months as investors hunted for bargains after recent market turmoil, with China banking sectors rebounding from big hits prompted by the mainland cash crunch.
The dollar eased, with its index against a basket of major currencies <.dxy> down 0.1 percent after reaching a near one-month high of 83.025 on Wednesday.
The dollar was also down 0.1 percent against the yen at 97.68 and steady against the euro at $1.3011.
U.S. Treasuries prices ended higher on Wednesday on weaker than expected GDP, but a five-year Treasury note auction drew its lowest demand since September 2009, showing persistent jitters over the Fed's future policy course.
U.S. crude futures inched down 0.1 percent to $95.40 a barrel.
Spot gold hovered just above Wednesday's near three-year low of $1,221.80 an ounce.

Feeling for freedom's limits
Free speech and freedom of religion are widely recognized as inalienable human rights. But there are other freedoms as well -- from want and fear, for instance. Determining the extent and limits of these freedoms is a never-ending job in a democracy.

EnlargePeople across the world stand in front of tanks, brave tear gas and rubber bullets, and sacrifice their lives for freedom. Freedom is among humanity?s deepest aspirations, a concept understood in every heart and revered in every society.

But what exactly is the measure of freedom?
In early 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt declared that a secure world rested on four essential human freedoms. Two were already enshrined in the US Constitution and familiar to generations of Americans: freedom of expression and worship. The other two were novel, even radical at the time. One was freedom from want, which Roosevelt described as the right of everyone to ?a healthy peaceful life.? The other was freedom from fear, meaning that ?no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor.?
FDR?s four freedoms are echoed in the preamble of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Four of Norman Rockwell?s most beloved paintings ? the working-class guy standing to speak at a public meeting, worshipers? heads bowed in prayer, a family gathered for Thanksgiving dinner, and parents tucking in their children while the dad holds a newspaper with the words ?bombings? and ?horror? in the headline ? illustrate those four freedoms.
The struggle for freedom to and freedom from has propelled history for the past 72 years. It is behind virtually every news event. You can see it in the successive fights against fascism and communism. You can see it in the campaign for equal rights for African-Americans, women, and dozens of groups once excluded from full participation in self-government and the pursuit of happiness. You can see it in this week?s issue of the Monitor Weekly.
The quest for freedom from want has spurred worldwide progress against hunger, poverty, and disease. It explains, for instance, the massive mobilization against AIDS in Africa and other parts of the world as described by Jina Moore in a Monitor cover story. With the disease increasingly under control thanks to a sustained public health effort, Jina shows, the mothers, fathers, and children once crippled by HIV are increasingly free from fear. The newspapers they clutch no longer headline the horror of the disease.
Freedom from aggression, meanwhile, is at the heart of new questions about the US National Security Agency surveillance program. Terrorism is a very real public concern. But does national security require that every phone call and Internet click be saved? A Republican and a Democratic president ? and a succession of members of Congress and a majority of the public as measured by current opinion polls ? think so. But the revelation of the scope of the NSA?s data mining has touched off a national debate.
Absolute freedom is an ideal. But in the relative world of humanity, freedom?s extent and limits are always being reexamined and adjusted. Should all speech, including obscenity and hate speech, be free? Is there a point at which religious worship imposes on other people?s freedoms? Can a social safety net be maintained without fostering dependence or bankrupting the treasury? And where?s the line between security and liberty?
Asking and answering those questions is what we do in a free society. And after we decide, we?ll ask and answer again.

Virtuix Omni Takes Virtual Reality In Every Direction
Editor?s note: Ross Rubin is principal analyst at Reticle Research and blogs at Techspressive. Part videogame accessory and part exercise equipment, the Virtuix Omni was inspired by the success of Kinect a few years ago, itself a response to the ?Wiimote controller? that defined Nintendo?s last gaming console. While both products get you off the couch, they don?t necessarily give you any place to go once you?re there.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/Xzp5yxZTyUY/
