|Condition or disease
|Influenza, Human
|Drug: Oseltamivir Drug: Oseltamivir Placebo
|Not Applicable
Seasonal influenza is responsible for excess hospitalizations and, despite effective antivirals, causes significant morbidity and mortality (about 24,000 deaths each year in the United States alone). The influenza virus that emerged in 2009 (A/California/07/2009 H1N1) caused fewer deaths (12,000 flu-related deaths in the U.S.) but in contrast to seasonal flu, nearly 90% of the deaths with the 2009 H1N1 occurred among people younger than 65 years of age. Although there are four currently licensed anti-influenza medications (amantadine and rimantadine, oseltamivir, and zanamivir), previous studies have not demonstrated conclusively to what extent these medications affect influenza viral shedding. This study will evaluate whether oseltamivir modifies the viral shedding during the treatment of uncomplicated influenza in an adult population and also assess methods to detect viral replication in the upper respiratory tract.
Subjects who present with an influenza-like illness without any risk factors for severe disease will be screened for the study. Those with a confirmatory test for influenza (rapid antigen or polymerase chain reaction [PCR]) will be randomized in a 1:1 manner to receive a blinded study treatment consisting of either the oseltamivir or placebo for 5 days. Clinical, virologic, and laboratory assessments on Days 1, 3, 7, and 28 will be used for both safety and efficacy analysis.

Each week, we'll ask our stable of scribes to weigh in on the three most important NBA topics of the day — and then give you a chance to step on the scale, too, in the comments below.
Week 17: Playoff-bound team in trouble | Who can stop the Heat? | Do you want Derrick Rose back at 80%?
If you're a Bulls fan, do you want Derrick Rose back at 80 percent?
Steve Aschburner: Absolutely. The Bulls need to get Derrick Rose back on the court ASAP — with "possible" defined as the point from which their doctors see no greater chance of Rose re-injuring his left knee than when he originally tore that ACL. Of course he won't be 100 percent and of course his percentage of ability could rise, fall and loop back on itself multiple times — 80 one night, 85 the next, 70 the night after that — before he's back to the Rose of old. But there's a point in any rehab when the only remaining step is live competition, which eventually leads a player to trust the surgical fix. Whatever learning curve the point guard and the Bulls have to travel in re-acclimating to each other, they'd be better off traveling along it now. As for those cynical calculations that say, "If Chicago can't win the title in 2013, why bother rushing him back?" that shouldn't be muddying a strictly physical assessment. Doesn't mean Bulls management or Rose's agents/marketers aren't doing it, but they shouldn't be.
Fran Blinebury: Rose has said that he is not coming at back "80 percent." In fact, he said he wants to be 110 percent, so the only question would be about his math comprehension. Yes, if he's healthy, I want him back now. You don't ever throw away a prime season of a superstar's career. You never know what's going to happen. Injuries? Upsets? If Rose is back and they're in it, they can win it. He plays.
Jeff Caplan: If Rose is 80 percent, forget about it. Now, 100 percent physically, and with 100 percent psychological trust in his knee is a totally difference scenario. But, 80 percent? No. I just don't see the Bulls being able to knock off Miami if he's not fully trusting the knee and able to perform at an MVP-caliber level, because that's what the Bulls will need. He's too young, too talented, owed too much money to risk further injury this season. If he's not 100 percent, see ya next year. Seems even Derrick exhibited this sentiment when he said last week that he might sit it out if he doesn't feel right.
Scott Howard-Cooper: I'll take him back if he's at 80 percent in terms of conditioning and timing, and then be patient as he gets to full speed. But not 80 percent healed. Don't increase the chances of aggravating the injury or, worse, turning it into missed games for next season as well. Rose obviously makes a difference, even at less than full strength. That's why he shouldn't come back unless he is healed.
John Schuhmann: I would always defer to the doctors and make sure that he's not risking further injury by playing. But I would want him to come back this season if all is clear. And it's not just about the Bulls' chances of winning a playoff series or two. I think that any games that he gets under his belt this season can help his post-injury confidence and rhythm going forward.
Sekou Smith: I don't want him back at 80 percent. It might make a little difference, but the Bulls aren't going to knock off the Heat with Rose at 100 percent. This is the face of the franchise we're talking about, the backbone of Chicago's basketball identity for years to come. There is no reason to rush Rose back any sooner than he's physically, mentally and emotionally ready to play at his highest level. An early return is not necessary. The Bulls have shown themselves to be much more than the one-man show some assumed they were when Rose was winning his MVP trophy and they were piling up the best record in the Eastern Conference. They have two other All-Stars now in Joakim Noah and Luol Deng. They have one of the best coaches in basketball in Tom Thibodeau. They can manage the rest of this season without Rose, if need be.

Mumbai: Seeking to discourage usage of cheques, an RBI paper Thursday suggested that banks should charge cash withdrawal and deposit through cheques, while the government agencies should do away with 'convenience charges' for online payment of utility bills.
"In order to avoid increased dependence or slippage to cash-based transactions, high (both in amount and frequency) cash withdrawals and deposits of cash by individuals may also be charged," said a discussion paper floated by RBI on 'Disincentivising Issuance and Usage of Cheques'.
The other major suggestions include restriction on number of free cheque books, high fee on cheque books, mandatory online payment of credit card bills and ban on post-dated cheques (PDCs).
As per the discussion paper, the government should do away with "convenience charges" for online payment of utility bills and discourage cheque collection boxes at public places.
The suggestions, on which the RBI has invited comments from public by February 28, seek to establish a "less-cash" society and encourage greater adoption of electronic mode of payment.
"...The cheque volumes being processed in the country are still very large. It is felt that speed of decline in usage of cheques can be enhanced by building some 'disincentives' for the cheque-users without causing any undue hardship for any particular section of the society," the paper said.
On the practice of issuing free cheque books by banks, it said, they "should be kept to a minimum number on a per annum basis. The charges levied by banks beyond this number may range from moderate to steep (slab rate) depending upon the cheque usage history of the customer".
The RBI paper said fresh loans, PDCs should be completely stopped, with suitable conditions for late payment and non-payments which should be disclosed upfront.
Existing PDCs should be converted into electronic payment mandates within a prescribed timeline.
"For any cheques issued beyond the stipulated limit, charges may be levied at the time of payment/debit to the account by the paying bank when the cheque is presented for payment through clearing. Such charges may be higher than the charges levied on electronic payments of similar value," it said.
It said that additional charge should be imposed on payment of dividend through cheques.
RBI said that corporates and institutional customers are the largest users of cheques across all value bands accounting for 54 percent - 64 percent of cheques processed.
"Access to cheque books should be made costlier for such corporate / institutional customers. There should be no free cheque books given," the RBI paper said.
"It is found that even where educational institutions and public utility companies are accepting electronic payments, they are levying certain convenience fees to the payers which need to be stopped," the paper said.
For corporates, it said that steep charges should be levied by all banks on cash deposits/withdrawals by current account holders into/from their accounts. These charges need to be levied by all banks.
As regards payment made by government department, the paper said that for individuals they should quickly adopt electronic payments for which a specific timeline should be set for implementation.
"Government departments and agencies should immediately stop levying convenience fee on customers who prefer to make payments using electronic means such as cards, online banking," it said.

Massachusetts Creates Fake Scam Websites To Warn People Of Real Scam Websites
Make a ton of money working from home! Lose weight by taking some fruit extract pills! Clear your debt today, guaranteed! Most of us know to give a wide berth to websites making promises like these. But the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation has decided the best way to educate the consumers is for the state to create its own slate of bogus sites that look eerily like real scam sites.
The repository for these pages, at topmassachusettsdeals.com, itself sounds a bit like something scammy. But that's where you can find pages for products and services like Flabkiller, Envelope Elf, and ModExperts.
Clicking on any of the links on these bogus scam pages will take readers to a page providing more information on how to identify and avoid similar ruses.
"The Internet allows cyber criminals to get into your living room without even being in the country," said Barbara Anthony, Undersecretary of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation. "Every year consumers lose millions and millions of dollars to cyber-crooks in addition to something more important than money – their personal identity."

The main technical breakthroughs we can expect this year will probably revolve around double patterning in lithography as EDA companies try to optimize the technique for density and performance. And it will probably have knock-on effects way up in the design flow, forcing designers to adopt much more regular designs. But, unless EUV sees a major breakthrough, double and further levels of multiple patterning is something people will need to get used to.
Regularity is likely to become a feature of low-power design as well. Although it hurts effective density, the drive to cut power consumption will see much more use made of on-chip redundancy – we've already seen some of that in the nVidia Tegra 3 and the ARM Big.Little initiative. We could see those techniques begin to extend into ultralow power circuits using near or subthreshold devices as engineers discover how to model circuits effectively and recover lost performance at very low voltages. Some of these techniques will also help reinvigorate older processes – using better EDA to trim power consumption instead of relying primarily on process changes to deliver better energy efficiency.

Several ham radio blogs have linked to the Wired article Why Ham Radio Endures in a World of Tweets. "What is it about a simple microphone, a transmitter-receiver and the seductive freedom of the open radio spectrum that's turned a low-tech anachronism into an enduring and deeply engaging global hobby?" the author asks. He goes on to describe the thrill of establishing a direct, person to person long distance contact and exchanging QSL cards, which he contrasts with "a world of taken-for-granted torrents of e-mails, instant messages and Skype video-chats." It's a point of view that QRP enthusiasts and many others will identify with.
In the comments to the article many have been keen to say that ham radio is not low tech, citing "VoIP Radio" and digital techniques as examples. They may be true, but I'm afraid the commenters miss the point. The more high-tech ham radio becomes, the less magic there is. Developments like D-Star are about as far from the concept of a simple transceiver and the freedom of the open radio spectrum as it is possible to get. It isn't simple, it isn't free (since it depends on a network controlled by someone else) and it isn't open. Which is why it is anathema to many of us.
There is a danger that the pursuit of technology could turn ham radio into a poor copy of existing communications networks. Ham radio has endured because it has held on to its traditions involving relatively simple technology that most hams can understand and even build for themselves. If we ever lose sight of that the hobby is as good as dead.

Australians Dominate Day One Of 2012 Melges 24 North American Championship
25 August 2012
San Francisco, CA, USA - 24 August 2012 - San Francisco produced spectacular conditions for the opening day of the 2012 Melges 24 North American Championship with competitors enjoying three fantastic races in near perfect conditions. With the breeze up at around 18-20 knots throughout the day it was the bold and the brave who made it to the top of the heap and tonight Australians Warwick Rooklyn, sailing Bandit, and Nathan Wilmot, helming Embarr for Ireland's Connor Clark, head the leader board.
Rooklyn and his team reveled in today's strong conditions, giving a master class in heavy weather Melges 24 sailing to win the opening two races and take second in race three. With great starts, great boat speed and impressive boat handling this team barely put a foot wrong all day. Wilmot's day got off to a moderate start with a seventh, but it wasn't long before he found his rhythm, and he went on to take second in race two followed by a very confident win in race three. Rooklyn now leads the fleet by six points with Wilmot second on 10 points. Just a single point back lies Newport Harbour's Argyle Campbell, aboard Rock N Roll, and Italy's Flavio Favini, helming Blu Moon for Switzerland's Franco Rossini, who both count 11 points. Alan Field aboard WTF completes the top five and is just a single point behind his rivals.
In the Corinthian Division for the all amateur crews it is local hero Shawn Bennett sailing Melges 49 who heads the fleet with a 1, 3, 1 scoreline. Don Jesberg, also from San Francisco and sailing Viva, is a single point behind him in second with Main's Scott Holmgren sailing Rosebud four points further back in third.
It was an eventful day on the water with plenty of drama throughout the fleet. Flavio Favini and his team trawled their kite severely at the leeward gate of race two loosing a number of places in the process and had to fight their way back up to fourth place. But the Pusser's Rum/Regatta Ginger Beer Award for the most spectacular photo opportunity of the day was won hands down by Edward Massey and his crew aboard Sweet As Bro! who executed a truly spectacular broach on the first run of race one. Despite attempts by several other teams to out broach them Sweet As Bro!'s was without doubt the best effort of the day and at the daily prize giving the crew collected a Pusser's/Regatta gift pack with which to drown their sorrows.
With two more days and up to eight races ahead plus a weather forecast for more classic San Francisco conditions we're all set for a knock out championship. This evening the crews enjoyed sun-downers and snacks courtesy of our wonderful sponsors as they kicked back and relaxed at the San Francisco Yacht Club's wonderful Belvedere clubhouse.
TOP FIVE RESULTS (After 3 Races)
1.) Warwick Rooklyn, Bandit; 1-1-2 = 4
2.) Nathan Wilmot/Conner Clarke, Embarr; 7-2-1 = 10
3.) Argyle Campbell, Rock n' Roll; 2-6-3 = 11

This study will evaluate volunteers 18 years of age and older to see if they qualify for one of NHLBI s research studies. Tests include the following:
- General medical evaluation, which may include blood tests, chest x-ray, electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiogram (heart ultrasound).
- Other tests as appropriate, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), cardiac computed tomography (CT scan of the heart), nuclear stress test and echocardiography stress test.
- X-ray contrast studies of the heart and blood vessels. (These may be excluded in patients with kidney risk factors.)
|Condition or disease
|Congenital Heart Disease Atherosclerosis Myocardial Ischemia Myocardial Infarction Acquired Heart Disease
This is a screening protocol. This protocol allows two functions: 1) the protocol allows physicians in the Suburban/NHLBI Cardiovascular Imaging program to evaluate patients referred to the program with clinically indicated studies and research studies. 2) It is also designed to determine if patients may be suitable candidates for one of our NHLBI research protocols.
Patients greater than or equal to 18 years of age referred for possible cardiovascular disease will be enrolled in the protocol for a period of one year. At one year, patients will either be: 1) transferred to one of our specific research MRI or CT protocols, 2) removed from the screening protocol and made inactive, or 3) re-enrolled on the screening protocol with the patient s consent.

Magic Hat Brewery Sues West Sixth Brewing, Claiming 6 Looks Too Much Like 9
from the mmmmm-beer dept
In what's a first for me, Brig C. Mccoy shows me an instance where one brewery with a trademark on a single digit has sued another brewery over a completely different digit.
A lawsuit filed May 16 in U.S. District Court charged that West Sixth began selling beer, ale and brewpub services in 2012 using color, trademarks and designs "that closely resemble and are confusingly similar" to the designs used by Magic Hat for several years.And if you look at the side-by-side comparison picture, you can see exactly what they mean. After all, Magic Hat #9's logo is maroon, yellow and orange, with a trippy stylized number 9 and a star. The offending logo from West Sixth's amber ale is brown, tan and silver, with a non-stylized number 6 merged with a circle and a star. In other words, they're almost nothing freaking alike in any way.
West Sixth appears to agree.
"They're claiming that we intentionally copied their logo, and that has caused them "irreparable harm," enough that they're asking for not only damages but also all our profits up until this point (little do they know that well, as a startup company, there wasn't any, oops!)"
West Sixth logos were created by a professional design firm in Lexington called Cricket Press that has "a long history of fantastic and creative logo designs. ... Our logo contains neither a '#' nor a '9.'"The lack of a # is actually kind of key. As West Sixth points out on its own website, the trademark in question includes the "#" sign, so the fact that their beer doesn't have it is pretty damning by itself. But, even beyond that, the focus on different numbers is just ridiculous.
Look, within the confines of a beer can or bottle, there's only so much you can do with a logo. That said, here's a fun experiment you can do at home (assuming you're of legal drinking age). Find someone who has never tried either of the Magic Hat or West Sixth beers in question. Sit that person down at a table with a case of both beers in front of them. Ask them if they are under any illusions that the two brews are distinctly different because of the logo. When they say, "Of course not, you idiot, and why did you kidnap me from the Stop & Go?!?", ask them to slam one of each beers. Rinse, repeat. Exactly how many double-slammed-beers do you think this person would have to go through before they can't tell the difference between a 6 and a 9?

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – In the first meeting between both programs, the MIT men's lacrosse team registered a 14-5 victory over visiting Salem State College on Tuesday afternoon. Corey Garvey posted a game-high five points on one goal and four assists for the Engineers (4-5). The Vikings saw eight different players earn a point as their ledger lowered to 6-4 on the year.
Dan Piemont notched four goals and three groundballs for the Cardinal and Gray as Carl Tilbury provided three goals and an assist. Gabe Blanchet posted two goals and two assists while Justin Myers won 10-of-18 face-offs to go along with eight groundballs and a goal. Eric Zuk recorded three groundballs and a goal as Tomas Vianna scooped up four groundballs. John Kucharczyk and Nick Sisler both added a goal while Bryan Beller earned a pair of caused turnovers. In net, Christopher Rullan compiled nine saves and five groundballs.
Justin Jones, Kyle Dolan, Ryan Gendreau, Michael Parisella, and Brandon Cali each scored a goal for Salem State as Jonathan Falls, Robert Mulroy, and Ryan Savini earned one assist apiece. Falls led the way with five groundballs, followed by four from Dolan, and three by Dan Cox and Jones. Jesse Fentross bolstered the defense with two caused turnovers. Brendan Gill made seven saves in 53 minutes of action in the net while John Sullivan closed out the game with one stop.
MIT scored three goals in a five-minute span in the first quarter and then tacked on two more 40 seconds apart in the second stanza to establish a 5-0 advantage. The Vikings ended the shutout when Dolan converted a feed from Mulroy for an extra-man goal with 4:28 left in the second quarter. Tilbury completed the hat-trick on pass by Blanchet to give the Engineers a 6-1 lead at the intermission.
Piemont upped the hosts' margin with an unassisted extra-man goal early in the third quarter, but Salem State countered with Cali redirecting a feed from Falls. Garvey went on to earn back-to-back assists on goals by Blanchet and Piemont, extending the Engineers' lead to 9-2 with 4:31 left in the frame. An unassisted strike by Jones was answered with a man-up marker by Piemont.
The Vikings narrowed the gap to six (10-4) just 46 seconds into the fourth quarter courtesy of a solo effort by Parisella. MIT replied with four consecutive goals that put the game out of reach. Alex Andrzejewski found Piemont to start the run as Garvey and Zuk provided the next two goals. Garvey then set up Myers for the Engineers' final goal at the 4:41 mark. Exactly three minutes later, Gendreau converted a feed from Savini for a man-up tally.
Both squads return to action on Saturday, April 17. MIT will travel to Pilgrim Lacrosse League foe Lasell College while Salem State will host Plymouth State University.

Unlocking the "key" to education
- 1 Post
People say education is key, but what is this key for? This key unlocks a future for us, it enables us to decide what we want in our lives. But what happens if you don't have this key?
In Zambia there are over 13 million people. Only 72 percent know how to read and write. The number of children going to primary school is very high. Even so, the number of children who finish school is very low. A statistical view shows that only 21 percent of children finish their education. But what happens to the other 79 percent? It has been estimated that about 60 percent of pupils in Zambia pass their primary school education and, that only 5 percent of pupils in junior secondary pass to senior secondary. At the end of it all, only 30 percent of pupils finish their education.
But what happens to those who dropped out of school or decided to stop at an early level? Well some do end up taking up good careers. Some of them end taking up very successful businesses, while others end up playing sports and others find successful careers. But not all of them are lucky. Some boys end up selling drugs, smuggling illegal materials and stealing. Some girls end up working as prostitutes and illegal street vendors.
Now that we have seen what the lack of education can cause, what can we do about it? Let's make sure that we help others understand what education can do for us because if we do we can help others understand the true meaning of education cause if we say education is key, we should let that key be used to its greatest point, not just hiding it in the face of others but also showing it to others who need it...
School attendance has increased substantially since Zambia's independence in 1964. in 2000 some 1.6 million pupils were enrolled in primary schools, representing 82 percent of school-aged children. Only 28 percent of secondary school-aged children were enrolled. the university of Zambia (founded in 1965), at Lusaka, had about 10,500 students in the mid-1990s. source: (http://overhistory.blogspot.com/2014/01/zambia.html)


text: For the oci8 extension it is not true that " [...] when using transactions, a transaction block will also carry over to the next script which uses that connection if script execution ends before the transaction block does.". The oci8 extension does a rollback at the end scripts using persistent connections, thus ending the transaction. The rollback also releases locks. However any ALTER SESSION command (e.g. changing the date format) on a persistent connection will be retained over to the next script.

Three years ago, Sen. Marco Rubio was heralded as the Republican Party's future.
After the GOP's stinging 2012 presidential loss, strategists prescribed the charismatic, young tea party favorite as the antidote to a fractured party — someone who could even expand the base by attracting Latino voters.
He so dazzled the 2012 Republican National Convention when he introduced Mitt Romney that some called the conservative a transformational candidate not seen by Republicans since Ronald Reagan.
But despite the cheers that greeted the 43-year-old Florida senator as he announced his presidential bid Monday, the early buzz has faded. And after a political misstep over...

New Delhi: A city court Saturday framed charges of murder, gang-rape, kidnapping and on 10 other counts against five accused involved in the Dec 16 rape of a 23-year-old woman, paving the way for their trial from Tuesday as Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and party vice president Rahul Gandhi went to meet the family of the dead woman.
The court ruling was welcomed by the families of the trainee physiotherapist and her male friend. They voiced hope that the fast-track court would hand down quick punishment to the accused.
Additional Sessions Judge Yogendra Khanna framed the charges under 13 sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
The five accused are bus driver Ram Singh; his brother Mukesh; Pawan Gupta, a fruit seller; Vinay Sharma, a gym instructor; and Akshay Thakur, a bus cleaner. They are currently in Tihar Jail.
The other charges framed against them are commiting an unnatural offence, destruction of evidence, attempt to murder, causing hurt while committing robbery, dacoity with murder, and common intent.
Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and some MPs visited the victim's family in south west Delhi and spent an hour with them. The Congress chief hugged the woman's mother and cried, a source told IANS.
The Juvenile Justice Board has declared the sixth accused, who is six months younger than 18 years according to his school certificate, a minor last month. His case will be heard by the board.
The dead woman's family told IANS they hoped the fast-track court would deliver the judgment by the month-end. "We are hopeful about an early judgment," said the woman's brother.
The young woman, who was gang-raped by six males in a moving bus, was thrown off alongwith her male friend on the road - bloodied and without clothes. She died Dec 29 in a Singapore hospital, where she had been airlifted for specialised treatment . Her friend is the main witness in the case.
Pre-trial proceedings in the case started Jan 21 at the fast-track court which was set up following nation-wide outrage over the incident and against rising crimes against women.
The accused were formally charged by police Jan 3 in the Saket court, 18 days after the brutal gang-rape.
The chargesheet, with annexures, runs into thousands of pages and includes the victim's statement, details of the accused, evidence and forensic reports.
All the accused were arrested between Dec 17-21, 2012.
Speaking to IANS, the woman's father said he was happy about the court decision. According to Indian laws, a rape victim and her family cannot be named due to issues of privacy.
"I feel that the five accused, except the sixth who is a juvenile, will be convicted by the end of February," he said.
The victim's younger brother told IANS: "I request the court to hang the five accused."
"My sister wanted the accused to be burnt alive. My family's wish is to hang five of the six accused. In case of the sixth accused, police should approach the higher court for his bone ossification test," he added.
The father of the woman's 28-year-old male friend, a software engineer who was badly beaten up when he tried to rescue the woman, told IANS that they welcome the court's decision.
"My son, the only eyewitness in the case, will appear before the fast-track court Feb 5. He will tell the court what had happened that night," the father, a lawyer, said.
"I think the decision will come soon as the trial will be held in a fast-track court," he said.
He said they would challenge the decision of the Juvenile Justice Board that the sixth accused is a minor.
"As per law, a complainant can challenge the decision of the Juvenile Justice Board before a sessions judge within 60 days," he said.
The juvenile was the main accused who instigated all the accused to physically assault the woman victim and use an rod.
The union cabinet Friday approved an ordinance for enhanced punishment in cases of crimes against women, including sexual assault, acid attacks, voyeurism and trafficking, as suggested by the Justice J.S. Verma Committee.
The government recommended to President Pranab Mukherjee that an ordinance be issued.
The Verma Committee, set up by the government Dec 23 last year after the gang-rape to review laws to provide speedier justice and enhanced punishment in cases of aggravated sexual assault, submitted its report Jan 23.

Nude Ronda Rousey is an MMA champion ESPN Body Issue 2012: Ronda Rousey's Take on Her Body Is Great for Women she played the role of model for the 2012 issue of ESPN The Magazine's annual body issue.
Ronda Rousey is an MMA champion, but she played the role of model for the 2012 issue of ESPN The Magazine's annual body issue.
The Strikeforce bantamweight champion spent some time with the magazine's camera crew to take some pictures in which she was scantily clad.
Although it may seem like she posed for the photos au naturale for some easy publicity, the California native has a different opinion on the pictures.
In an interview with ESPN, she described the photographs as "art," specifying that "it's not about showing people naked; it's about showing the limits of the human body."
Athletes are vehemently grilled for every last thing they do. What would have happened if this photo shoot wasn't done for ESPN, but rather Playboy? We don't know if Rousey would have been a part of it, but we do know that she has some pretty serious opinions on the female human body.
Women don't have to trade their femininity for athleticism. I can be a fighter and be tough yet still retain my femininity. I want people to know you don't have to look like an anorexic 8-year-old to be a beautiful woman. Skinny girls look good in clothes, but fit chicks look good naked.
There's an epidemic going around amongst the young women of today's world. That epidemic is the need to be skinny. It comes from the pressure that famous models—as well as peers—put on young ladies to lose weight and maintain a bony physique.
But Rousey, too, had troubles regarding her body in the past, which she discussed with ESPN:
I went through high school with complete self-loathing. I would try to lose weight to make my body look a certain way. But you can't make your body one way to make yourself happy. Get happy first then worry about your body.
Hopefully that statement does not fall on deaf ears.
Ronda Rousey will break your arm (BEWARE: GRAPHIC)
The best role models for young women are female athletes. Rousey isn't a mainstream athlete just yet, but her comments bode well for women, young and old, all over the world.
If girls that look up to her can realize that it's not all about how you look, but rather how you feel about yourself, fewer young ladies would have to deal with issues like anorexia and bulimia.
Rousey dominates a sport that's supposed to be specifically for men. A bruising, barbaric competition where competitors literally try to smash each others' brains in.
But Rousey is shattering the boundaries of the sport, and has risen to become one of the most famous female fighters today.

EAST STROUDSBURG — Sophomore guard Whis Grant has been named the PSAC East Men's Basketball Player of the Week after averaging 28.5 points in leading East Stroudsburg University to a pair of road wins and the Warriors' best-ever start to conference play, it was announced Monday.
EAST STROUDSBURG — Sophomore guard Whis Grant has been named the PSAC East Men's Basketball Player of the Week after averaging 28.5 points in leading East Stroudsburg University to a pair of road wins and the Warriors' best-ever start to conference play, it was announced Monday.
Grant scored 28 points in an 84-72 win at PSAC West leader Slippery Rock and 29 points in an 85-75 win at Edinboro as the defending PSAC champions improved to 11-2 (8-1) and earned their first five-game winning streak since the 2009-10 season.
Grant had 44 points between the second half at Slippery Rock (23) and the first half at Edinboro (21). He brought the Warriors back from a 32-26 halftime deficit at Slippery Rock and carried them to a 46-37 halftime lead at Edinboro.
He also averaged 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.5 steals while shooting 48.5 percent (16-for-33) from the field, 47.1 percent (8-for-17) from the three-point line and 94.4 percent (17-for-18) at the foul line.
Grant is the third Warrior to be named PSAC East Player of the Week, following senior forward Terrance King last week (Jan. 7) and senior forward Duane Johnson on Dec. 10. ESU last had three conference players of the week in a season in 1997-98, when four players were recognized.
He shot 8-for-19 from the field, 3-for-9 from long distance and 9-for-9 at the foul line at Slippery Rock while adding three rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block.
At Edinboro, he was 8-for-14 overall, 5-for-8 at the three-point line and 8-for-9 at the foul line with six rebounds, three assists and a steal.
Grant leads the Warriors and ranks ninth in the PSAC in scoring (16.5 ppg), is second in three-point percentage (44.8), fourth in three-pointers per game (2.3) and sixth in steals (1.8).
As a freshman, Grant was the top scorer on ESU's PSAC championship team with 13.9 points per game and was the first freshman to lead a PSAC champion in scoring in at least 25 years.
He has four 20-point games this season, including 30 in the season opener against Alderson-Broaddus to tie his career-high. He had five 20-point games as a freshman and is averaging 14.7 points in 44 career games.
ESU has won nine of 10 games overall at the mid-point of its 26-game regular season. The Warriors finish the regular season with 13 straight games against the PSAC East and are on the road for two more games this week, at Mansfield on Wednesday and Kutztown on Saturday.
The Warriors went 7-1 against the PSAC West this season, improving to 35-9 against the PSAC West in regular season, PSAC-mandated games in the last seven years (since 2006-07).

Big Tex Will be Rebuilt, Which Would You Prefer Young or Old? [POLL]
I think a lot of us were sad to hear the news of Big Tex catching on fire Friday. He's been a Texas icon for 60 years, but since they will rebuilt him I have a suggestion! Make him young again!!
I didn't like all the wrinkles and gray hair they gave him. How about you? Do you think that just because Big Tex was getting older, he should have looked older? Mickey Mouse is 84. Barbie is 53. They haven't gotten older, so why should Big Tex?
Below are some pictures of Big Tex, take a look below and then take our poll.
This is a pic of Big Tex in 1962. Love the men peeking out of his shirt!
Below is the Big Tex I remember! Here he is in 1975.
Below is a picture of Big Tex looking quite a bit older. Notice the graying hair and wrinkles? :(

...defender Carlos Bocanegra brings to end his four-year stay with the Chicago Fire by signing with English Premier club Fulham FC on this day in 2004.
Arguably the best defender in Chicago Fire history, Bocanegra was a two-time MLS Defender of the Year and League Best XI selection (2002, 2003) as well as being the first Fire player to claim MLS Rookie of the year in 2000 and helped the club to three domestic titles (2000, 2003 U.S. Open Cup, 2003 Supporters Shield) as well as an additional two finals appearances (2000, 2003 MLS Cup).
Bocanegra was one of just three defenders named to last year's #Fire15 player's list along with former teammats C.J. Brown and Lubos Kubik.
At the time of his Fire departure, Bocanegra had only just begun to break into Bruce Arena's U.S. Men's National Team squad, with the future captain scoring four goals in his first full campaign for the Stars and Stripes in 2003.
With the UCLA product proving his worth for both club and country, Fulham signed Bocanegra on a free transfer (in the same window that future Fire forward Brian McBride arrived at Craven Cottage) and the two formed the basis for a long-term American occupancy of the West London club.
He would parlay his form at Fulham into making the 2006 U.S. World Cup team and while his time there would come to an end, Bocanegra was eventually named as new U.S. captain when former Fire coach Bob Bradley took the national team reins in 2007.
Moving to a less traditional American soccer destination with French clubs Stade Rennes (2008-10), Bocanegra led the U.S. to the Round of 16 at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa before moving to St. Etienne following the tournament.
A move to Scottish giants Glasgow Rangers would follow but after the side went into administration this past summer, whispers of the former Fire defender's MLS return could be heard league-wide before he eventually went on loan to Spanish Segunda side Racing Santander.
Having now a decade of national team experience under his belt, the 33-year-old center back sits tied with Paul Caligiuri for sixth all-time on the national appeance list at 110 and is has scored more international goals (14) than any defender in U.S. history.
With his time for the national team and career winding down, a return to MLS could still be in his future. Remember, returning to Chicago for a U.S. friendly vs. Poland in October 2010, Bocanegra was quoted as saying this…
"This is my first choice. You never know how it works with (Major League Soccer) and allocations, but I love this city. For me, it would be cool to play for one team my whole career in MLS. I would like to come back to Chicago."

Sarah Beth, aka "batgirl," unlike most of the Article authors on Chess.com, has neither talents nor credentials. What she does have is a two-decade long passion for time-consuming, tedious, historical research and a penchant for transposing her findings into words and stories. Her belief is that the value of Chess extends far beyond the champions, beyond the great games played or the theories advanced. The value of Chess lies in how it affects each individual who embraces it. And that's where all stories begin.
When in 1985 Greg Serper was invited to the famous Kasparov-Botvinnik school, he was really inspired by Kasparov's story. Garry insisted that he was destined to become the 13th World Champion since he was born on April 13. Since Greg was born on September 14 he saw it as a very good omen. Alas, this great sign was enough only to tie for first in the World Junior Championship (1988) and win the European Junior Championship (1989), World Open (1999) and a bunch of national and international tournaments. These days Greg teaches chess full time, writes a weekly column for Chess.com, and is proud to have dozens of National and State Champions among his students.
