Maltby Street Market
It was on a cool Friday evening in Clerkenwell when we heard of it, tales of incredible vanilla custard doughnuts, monmouth coffee…. and all within easy reach of London Bridge station.
Saturday morning, Louis, Charlie an I set off, guided by a miraculous star that had appeared in the blue sky overhead (yes, that rare occurrence being the sun). What we found was a calm oasis, a panacea for anyone who has elbowed their way through the throbbing swarms of Borough Market. The stalls and shops are strewn haphazardly across Druid and Maltby street, spread out enough so that their was a genuine atmosphere of a leisurely saturday morning and not a single guide book in sight. Here are a few photos and a few experiences….
Monmouth, the Coffee mecca of London, has it's roasting house located on Maltby Street.
On Saturday morning it dons a glass slipper, transforming itself into a Coffee Shop between the hours of 9am-2pm. The queue for coffee here is significantly smaller than that of the 2 mile anaconda of the queue that unfurls around the Borough Market outlet. Think mino, delightfully small mino!
Coffee in hand, we continued our pilgrimage to search out the infamously delectable St John* doughnut. We were not disappointed. Upon consumption, however, I regressed into a toddler, as the vanilla specked custard slopped out of the doughnut onto me, my hands and the pavement. I stood there a little sheepishly, sugar all over my face, until a well seasoned St John doughnutter and her children passed and handed me a tissue they had asked for with their order. A true professional. The doughnut itself was amazing: soft, light and not overly sweet. The custard, flecked with black vanilla, walked the sweetness tightrope, perfectly balanced between creaminess and sweetness.
*yes, the same establishment that featured in the Guardians top 50 international restaurants…. it also has a bakery.
Oh dear….such a wannabe.
We encountered some fellow pilgrims in the search for vanilla custard doughnuts and the elite football asparagus award.
The fruit and veg shop…searching for ingredients for a few pre-marathon risottos.
The cheese man we met was an amazing character, all the cheese was sourced from small Swiss and French regions (including St Marcellin, a local cheese from where I lived). The fact that he induced Louis, vocal cheese hater (I don't understand it either), to buy £5 of a comte style Swiss cheese for the risotto, is testament to his ability!
The playoffs for the asparagus award.

"We are deeply saddened to share the news that we have lost a valued friend and colleague. Long-time correspondent John Palmer passed away today after a brief illness.
"John was a brilliant, brave, and tireless journalist who guided viewers through many of the most significant events of the past half-century – from the early days of the civil rights movement through the tragedy of 9/11. He covered five presidents and traveled to every corner of the world, always showing the empathy and compassion that helped set him apart. His kindness is remembered by all of us, and it built lasting bonds throughout our news division.
"John held many positions over the course of his long career with NBC News, but his most treasured role was that of husband and father. Our love and support are with Nancy, Molly and Lee, Carter, Hope, and the entire Palmer family."
Veteran journalist John Palmer was a former NBC News anchor and correspondent whose career with the network spanned the course of 40 years, first from 1962 to 1990, and again from 1994 until his retirement in 2002.
Palmer most recently served as a National Correspondent for NBC News based in Washington, D.C., covering the White House as well as other major national international developments from 1994-2002.
During his tenure with NBC News, Palmer held a variety of assignments, including News Anchor for "Today" from 1982-1989. Prior to that, he served as NBC's White House Correspondent during the Carter and Reagan administrations.
Palmer's distinguished career included a number of "firsts." On the evening of April 25, 1980, broadcasting live from the north lawn of the White House, he delivered the first news reports of the aborted rescue attempt of American hostages in Iran. For breaking that story and his subsequent reporting, Palmer's colleagues in the White House press corps honored him with the Merriman Memorial Award for Excellence in Presidential news coverage. He was the first broadcast journalist to receive that coveted award. Palmer also anchored the first hours of NBC's coverage of the Challenger Space Shuttle tragedy on January 28, 1986, as well as other NBC News Special Reports.
Preceding his White House assignment, Palmer was based in Paris from January 1976-September 1979. Earlier, he had been posted to Beirut where he covered the 1973 Arab-Israeli war, the Arab oil embargo, the war in Cyprus and the civil war in Angola.
In 1988, Palmer wrote and anchored the highly acclaimed one-hour NBC News documentary, "The Pension Cookie Jar."
During the 1990 television season, Palmer anchored the nationally syndicated news program "Instant Recall" in which he interviewed prominent newsmakers of the last few decades, including Presidents Carter, Ford and Reagan; Egyptian President Anwar Sadat; Secretary of State Henry Kissinger; Dean Rusk; Jonas Salk; Alan Shephard; and Chuck Yeager.
Prior to rejoining NBC News in January 1995, Palmer served as a television anchor and correspondent for Monitor Radio and Television from 1992-1994.
Over the years, Palmer's work was recognized with a number of prestigious awards, including the Overseas Press Club Award and a National Emmy Award for his reporting on the African famine; a National Headliners Award for coverage of the fighting in Lebanon; and an Emmy for his reporting on America's space program. In January 1990, he received the "Distinguished Service in Broadcasting Award" presented by College of Journalism at the University of Georgia. In addition, the National Father's Day Committee named Palmer in 1987.
A native of Kingsport, Tennessee, Palmer graduated from Northwestern University and earned his Master's Degree from Columbia University. He was also the recipient of several honorary Doctorate degrees.

If you are searching for government jobs since last 2 years in Haryana then perhaps you remember, there was a advertisement in 2010 of HSSC for various government jobs and there was vacancy of 41 posts of auditors; Now after 2 years, Haryana Staff Selection Commission is in a mood to start the recruitment process for these posts . They have incresed the total posts to 87 and that is why, a new advertisement is available here for candidates who are eligible for these posts and have not applied earlier for these vacancies .
Who can apply for these vacancies ?
A commerce graduate candidate can apply for these vacancies and the age limit to apply for these posts is from 18 to 40 years . You will be selected as a officer in group B services of Haryana government . If you are a candidate from other state then you can also apply for these posts but if you belong to a reserved category, it is not valid here in Haryana and you will be counted as a general candidate .
You can apply for these vacancies to the HSSC secretary with the prescribed application form and required documents . Application fee will be paid in form of challan for Haryana candidate and outside candidates can pay the application fee in form of Indian Postal Orders .
Selection Process or Exam Pattern possible for these posts
There will be a interview of shortlisted candidates only and the candidates will be shortlisted according to the criteria of selection board . There may be a written examination too if the board finds any confusion to shortlist the candidates . But as I have also experienced the ' HSSC recruitment process' so I will say that it all depends upon the interview .

True Story: Japan Outlaws Child Pornography, Leaves Loophole for Manga and Anime
- Written by Jude Terror on Thursday, June 19 2014 and posted in News with Benefits
Source: New York Times
In what we swear, really, was a real story reported on the prestigious New York Times, Japan passed a law this week outlawing the possession of child pornography. Apparently, according to the Times, they didn't have one before, but now they do. Though a law passed in 1999 outlawed the production and distribution of child porn, actually possessing it was, again, apparently, not technically illegal. The law banning its possession passed by "an overwhelming margin," meaning there were at least a few politicians who voted against it.
But fear not, fans of... child porn manga. It seems that, thanks to the power and influence of the Japanese manga publishing industry, an exemption was built into the law for manga and anime to depict all the all the child porn it feels like - which, if I'm reading this right, is something that I guess they feel like doing pretty often. The Times also points out that the law "also leaves untouched a vast gray area in which young girls are depicted in sexually suggestive ways. This includes everything from images of the all-girl bands of Japanese pop music posing in lingerie and bikinis, to fantasy illustrations with the faces of prepubescent girls atop the scantily clad bodies of voluptuous adults."
Holy shit, Japan. Holy shit.
I mean, technically, these are drawings, and art shouldn't be censored and all that, but jeeze, is all I'm saying, you know? Man.
It seems that the police in Japan have been pushing for this legislation for years, but manga publishers have been blocking it for fear that the law would ban - and again, these are the words of the New York Times, not mine - "illustrated depictions of naked or nearly naked prepubescent girls, sometimes engaged in explicit sexual acts."
Politicians explained the exemptions by pointing out, rightly, that artistic depictions are imaginary, and also that they are opposed to curtailing artistic expression, which, you know, fair enough. But still, really, uh, wow, Japan. If nothing else, I'm impressed with how much influence the comics business has in Japan. Here in America, we can't even get 7-Eleven to stock a spinner rack anymore.
Anyone caught with explicit pictures of children - just to be clear, actual photographs - drawings are okay, so don't worry if you've got some of those - could face a year in prison and a $10,000 fine.

The Art of Frugality
People who successfully build wealth have one trait in common: They understand the art of frugality.
These unassuming millionaires know how to live on much less than they make, and they know how to save money. But those behaviors alone aren't enough. Not spending money today does not always result in having more money tomorrow.
Frugality for its own sake can result in doing without things that matter to you, failing to take care of basic needs like your health and living with a sense of deprivation. It can also lead to spending more money, not less, in the long run.
Frugality for the sake of enhancing your life, on the other hand, features an eye for value. Most people who build wealth are masters at the art of getting value.
There are many ways we might think we are saving money, but actually the opposite is true. Here are a few of the ways we can fail to get value:
1. Not spending the money to have legal documents drawn. A poorly worded agreement – or even worse, no written agreement at all – can cost you a bundle in future legal fees or even result in your losing a business or other asset.
2. Doing your own taxes. Unless your finances are so simple you can file the 1040-EZ, you're better off to pay a professional who will find deductions you're likely to miss.
3. Buying a new car to save money on repairs. An occasional repair bill for a few hundred dollars on an older, paid-off auto is still a lot cheaper than a monthly payment.
4. "Saving" money by spending on bargains you don't need or want. This includes settling for what's cheapest instead of looking for the best price on what you really want.
5. Going without insurance. At a minimum, you should have homeowner's or renter's insurance, car insurance with maximum liability amounts, and a high-deductible health insurance policy. A loss or liability that isn't covered can cost you everything you have.
6. Not getting regular medical checkups. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is a cliché because it's so true.
7. Looking only at the initial price tag without comparing long-term costs. A more expensive but higher-quality item, whether a car or a pair of shoes, might last much longer and be a better value than something cheaper.
8. Not focusing on value for services when purchasing investments. A discount broker, for example, isn't always a better deal than a full-service broker. For "A" shares of mutual funds, you may pay the same in commissions without getting any personalized help. If you use a discount broker, be sure to purchase "no-load" funds, which don't have commissions.
9. Paying hidden costs for financial advice. Writing a check to a fee-only planner may seem too expensive. Yet Bob Veres, editor of Inside Information website, says that investors who don't pay directly for the financial advice they get often pay two times more in hidden costs. If you buy investments products from a financial salesperson, keep asking questions until you know exactly what you pay in commissions and fees.
10. Paying off a low-interest loan instead of putting the money into a retirement account. If you can earn more than you pay in interest, it may be wiser to keep making loan payments.
Frugality that focuses on value is an essential wealth-building tool. Those who use it well do more than just save money. They know how to get the most value for the money they do spend.

About the installation, actually it's very easy, since the unit is plug and play, but if you want to know more about it, please refer to our user manual here, there're some basic wiring instruction:
Hi obert, currently we only know the heated seat buttons can't be installed, but for other whel drive, did you mean the steering wheel control? If so, the SWC can definitely work without problem. If not, what specific buttons do you refer to?
About the rear window sun visor, did you mean you want to use a sunvisor monitor and a back up camera for reversing? If so, there's no problem connection them to our D5114, since there're video out and back sight video input in the unit. It's easy to mount them together.
Thanks a lot for your advice to the heated seat buttons compatibility, OK I've reflected to our R&D, hope they can find a way in the future. If there's any news, I'll update you, please keep an eye on us, thanks!
On the all wheel drive model there is another button were the heated seat buttons are call the Hill Descent Control (HDC). And if the car has a rear window sun shade the come up and cover the rear window that button is also there with the heater seat buttons.
So if they could figure out a way to just have the row of button on the bottom I am sure a lot more people would be looking into getting this unit for their car.
Thanks for the reply

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Josh Groban, Coheed & Cambria lead the pack, while RED's Release The Panic falls short
Welcome to "First Impressions," a new weekly feature where we do a quick rundown of Tuesday's most popular new releases. We'll focus on mainstream artists and the good/bad they may bring to our ears and the music industry.
At the dawn of a new year, music fans eagerly await spring and beyond for artists to crank out new albums. That post-Christmas lull can be hard to overcome, but we have to start somewhere. February seems to have a bit more substance (all apologies to A$ap Rocky and Tegan and Sara, but January was quite lackluster). Still, it took some digging to find anything moderately popular to challenge a solid album by Josh Groban. As always, some release weeks will be better than others. In a perfect world, musicians like Kanye and Mumford and Sons would release albums every week. But instead, I have to wonder if the band Foals is popular enough to write about. (Editor's Note: "Yes, it is.") But I'll cross that bridge when I come to it (next week!).
- – – – -
Josh Groban - All That Echoes
Is there anything left to be said of Josh Groban which hasn't been written elsewhere?
On his latest album, almost nothing has changed. His vocal chords were forged from the same mystical realm as Adele's. Lucky for Groban, the male version came without perpetual heartache. All That Echoes holds no surprise for Groban followers, yet talking about him will get old before his music does. It starts off with "Brave," just another stalwart track in his ever-growing melodic masterpieces. Throw in the emotionally conflicting "Happy in My Heartache," songs in foreign languages ("E ti Prometterò," "Un Alma Más") and covers ("I Believe When I Fall in Love" by Stevie Wonder), and you have a textbook Groban album.
But, oh that "Hollow Talk." Originally by the Choir of Young Believers, Groban does a haunting croon on top of little plucks and hums for three minutes then … MAGIC. Those strings in the middle might be the single best moment of the album. It's as dramatic as the man has ever been and a drop-the-mic moment. Josh Groban is only 31 years old and you have to assume that he has long since reached his vocal peak. He could make this album a million more times and I couldn't knock it if I tried.
Coheed & Cambria – The Afterman: Descension
It's 2013 and Coheed & Cambria remains an underground band few have hearddespite being the most unique and underrated rock band of the past decade. They create free-range rock deviating from diabolical themes to benign harmonies, while standing tall as one of the few remaining bands to consistently incorporate six-plus minute epics ("Gravity's Union") within each album. That is especially refreshing given that guitar solos have become an abandoned novelty among rock bands. Lead vocalist Claudio Sanchez's distinctive voice, though a potential turn-off for some, puts Coheed within its own realm — neither above or below, just apart from their competition.
The Afterman: Descension is the second piece of a two-part album, following October's The Afterman: Ascension. The albums comes with it's own graphic novel, part of Sanchez's Armory Wars, the story which the band's music is based. Honestly, you don't need to know what's going on to enjoy what's going on. Descension picks right up where it's predecessor left off, staving off the staleness of Coheed's previous two albums, Year of the Black Rainbow and No World for Tomorrow.
They thrive on bipolar album structures and with the funk-shred blend in "The Hard the Sell" and the odd jazz/cyberpunk "Number City," Coheed is once again at it's creative best. The album slowly tones down in the back half, putting a bright seal on a complicated double-disc journey. But by that point, the message was sold: they still rock.
RED – Release the Panic
RED is a rock band, and I'm leaving out the word "Christian" because, even though the band is labeled as one, it doesn't matter. That term leads to misguided impressions, whether positive or negative. They play normal songs about human emotions based upon personal experiences. RED's members just so happen to share a Christian background, which shouldn't define them. At the end of it all, music is music.
This is the band's fourth album and, as a long-time listener since their first effort, this was the first time a track failed to register chills on the first listen. RED relies on electric power with the grace of a strings ensemble, and Release the Panic sunk somewhere in a quagmire of all that. I have no idea if it was an effort to become "radio friendly," but I hope that isn't the case.
It starts off with the title track, which sets an oddly aggressive tone. It's a different vibe than the rage-filled "Feed the Machines" intro from Until We Have Faces. Even behind the growls and semi-dark theme, "Feed the Machines" had an elegance to it and the rest of the album followed suit. "Release the Panic" sets the album ablaze from the start, sending everything that follows running for cover.
Salvaged from the destruction is the uplifting "Hold Me Now", the straight-forward "Perfect Life" and the standout, "Glass House", making this a decent album despite its flaws. Most of the intros are pretty sick. But coming from a band who has a reputation of making music with such precision, there sure is a lot of chaos. Fans who go into the album expecting a repeat of their first three albums may wind up disappointed, but enough quality songs remain to make this worth a listen for those hearing the band for the first time.
Josh Groban's latest powerhouse single gives us strength to "Brave" a brand new year of experiences
Opening with the sounds of lightly plucked strings like the stready drip-drip of percolating coffee, Josh Groban's "Brave" urges us to surrender to a new day, smiling as we refuse to run away from things which simply "can't be so." Another brilliantly bombastic single from the patron saint of modern classical pop, Groban sets high expectations for his upcoming sixth studio album All That Echoes, due out Feb. 5 on Reprise Records. Here's hoping the rest of the album meets the challenge, because "Brave" on its own is stadium pop music of the highest order.
SONG REVIEW: Josh Groban – "Hidden Away"
Leave it to Josh Groban to craft an album with Rick Rubin that completely defies the "stripped down" reputation Rubin has built for himself over all those albums with Johnny Cash.
Full disclosure — I'm an unabashed Groban fan, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I even sang "You Raise Me Up" at my own wedding, for what that's worth. But the new material on Illuminations pushes Groban in a smart direction. Clearly he's not afraid to embrace his role in the music world as a lover of bombast, a singer of big songs for listeners who crave symphonic pop that isn't ashamed to be as much pop as symphonic. Classical? Hardly. Glorious? If you keep an open mind, certainly.
"Hidden Away" is destined to become Groban's biggest crowd-pleasing hit since "You Raise Me Up," because he's able to embrace a broad theme — don't hide your talents and beauty beneath a bushel and all that — without drowning in saccharine treacle. Rubin's production steps deftly to the side and lets Groban's voice do the work, and the hook is right there to latch onto. It's going to stick in your head and dare you not to try and sing along, matching Groban note for note.
There's been a lot of talk about whether the song has a hidden message of religious or sexual tolerance. Whether Groban is gay is hardly relevant, but if the song is picked up by someone who is, and it gives him or her some sense of acceptance, I say let them take up the song as a shield. It could work in much the same way as Five For Fighting's "Superman (It's Not Easy)," which many took to be a direct reference to September 11th, despite the album it was on having been released six months prior. Did that take away from the effect the song had on all of us after September 11th?
In the end we take from a song what we put into it. And "Hidden Away" is a fine contribution to Groban's musical legacy, one which I suspect will have a long shelf-life. And if you haven't given Illuminations a listen yet, what are you waiting for?

It is no secret the Cincinnati Bengals need to address the cornerback position once more when the 2014 NFL Draft rolls around, and a strong candidate is now Oklahoma defensive back Aaron Colvin.
Colvin was a participant in the 2014 Senior Bowl before he suffered a torn ACL, per his agent on Twitter:
@AColvin14 has torn his acl. Send prayers for this terrific young cb and even better person who will make his mark in the NFL.
— Ken Sarnoff (@KenSarnoff) January 21, 2014
The news is certainly a horrible break for Colvin, who will now lose millions in the draft process as a result of the injury. Unfortunately, it is simply how the business works (which is shameful at times), but Colvin seems to have a fire about the situation and is ready to tackle the comeback trail:
— Aaron ©olvin (@AColvin14) January 22, 2014
As strange as it sounds, Colvin's injury makes him an ideal candidate for the Bengals in the mid-rounds. Not only does Colvin excel as a cornerback, he spent his sophomore year as the starter at strong safety — a versatility that is a must in the confines of the Cincinnati defense.
Colvin was also named to the All-Big 12 team at cornerback after the 2012 and 2013 seasons. NFL Network's Gil Brandt is one of many experts who thought Colvin would go high in the draft before his injury:
Thought Aaron Colvin had chance to go in 2nd round. Some team will take chance on him late, sit him for yr like #49ers did w Lattimore
— Gil Brandt (@Gil_Brandt) January 22, 2014
An interesting comparison here is Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Brandon Boykin, who broke his leg at the Senior Bowl a few years ago and fell to the fourth round. He is now a quality starter after his recovery.
Weighing in at 6'0″ and 181 pounds, Colvin's situation is ideal for the Bengals. They grabbed Dre Kirkpatrick in the first round a few years ago and may not want to spend another high pick on the position. As Brandt hints, Colvin is going to fall and need time to heal and develop. This meshes perfectly with Cincinnati's situation as Leon Hall, Adam Jones and Terence Newman continue to age.
Colvin is an extremely talented player now in an unfortunate situation, but his pro prospects would skyrocket if he landed in Cincinnati and took his time off to heal as an opportunity to soak up any and all info the quality veterans on the roster would throw his way.
In other words, Colvin to the Bengals seems like the perfect marriage.

Announcing new beta Ordnance Survey Linked Data Site
Ordnance Survey has released a new beta linked data site. You can read the official press release here.
I thought I'd write a quick (unofficial) guide to some of the changes. The most obvious one that is hopefully apparent as you navigate round the site is the much improved look and feel of the site. Including maps (!) showing where particular resources are located. Try this and this for example. Maps can be viewed at different levels of zoom.
Another improvement is the addition of new APIs. The first of these is an improved search function. Supported fields for search and some examples can be found here. The search API now includes a spatial search element.
The SPARQL API is improved. Output is now available in additional formats (such as CSV) as well as the usual SPARQL-XML and SPARQL-JSON. Example SPARQL queries are also included to get users started.
Another interesting addition is a new reconciliation API. This allows developers to use the Ordnance Survey linked data with the Open Refine tool. This would allow a user to match a list of postcodes or place names in a spreadsheet to URIs in the Ordnance Survey linked data.
In the new release the Ordnance Survey linked data has been split into distinct datasets. You could use the above described APIs with the complete dataset or, if preferred, just work on the Code-Point Open or Boundary Line datasets.
For details on where to send feedback on the new site please see the official press release here.
Update: I blogged a bit more about some of the new APIs here.
Making things with Ordnance Survey Linked Data…
Following the example of "Making things with BBC data" I thought I'd ask the same question for Ordnance Survey linked data. Please leave a comment if you've used Ordnance Survey linked data for anything from a quick hack, full blown project or if you even just link to it in your data. Thanks!
Adventures with Kasabi…and a request for help…
I've been playing around with Kasabi a bit of late. Kasabi is a new information market place from Talis that provides a useful place to publish your data, and then build services on top of it.
By way of a quick example you'll see that the currently Ordnance Survey Linked Data is hosted in Kasabi here. There are a number of standard APIs provided with each dataset such as a SPARQL endpoint, search API etc. Kasabi provides an easy way to map complex SPARQL queries to simple API queries. For example, this API provides an easy way to do topological queries on the Ordnance Survey Linked Data. For example:
will find all regions that touch The City of Southampton.
This API gives you a list of all postcodes (and their lat/long) within a particular region. For example:
will find all postcodes inThe City of Southampton. Additionally we can apply a style sheet to get back the same information as KML:
Kasabi also provides a handy place to store and host data, and one Sunday afternoon I decided to see how easy it would be to create a couple of hyperlocal datasets: one for Southampton and one for Hampshire. The basic approach in creating these hyperlocal datasets was to effectively 'cookie cut' region specific data from a number of different linked (open) data sets and put them into one store. So for Southampton and Hampshire we have a list of: airports, bus stops, stations, schools, GPs, hospitals, renewable energy generators, heritage sites, councillors, crime statistics, administrative regions and postcodes… Each important element, like schools or hospitals, is linked to a postcode, district, ward—and in the case of Hampshire—county. The Ordnance Survey linked data is effectively acting as the clue between disparate sources of information. The fact that each of these datasets was provided as linked data, and furthermore referenced common identifiers for administrative regions and postcodes, meant it was very easy to bring them together in one store. Some sample queries are provided here. It gets more interesting when you combine elements from different datasets to, for example, ask questions like 'find me GPs in my ward, and all the bus stops within a 100 metre radius of those GPs'. If one were extra paranoid it would then be possible to extend the query to only find bus stops in areas of low anti-social crime levels. These queries are all well and good, or 'nerdy, but nice' as Andrew Stott put it.
What I was really hoping to do was build a nice webapp on top of this integrated data. Anyone who has seen my previous mash-ups will know that web design is not amongst my key skills, so Zach Beauvais suggested I put word out to the developer community to see if anyone fancied building on this data to make something cool and interesting like (for example) the (in)famous postcode paper. Any volunteers? :)
So what can I do with the new Ordnance Survey Linked Data?
In a previous post I wrote up some of the features of the new Ordnance Survey Linked Data. In this blog post I want to run through a concrete example of the sort of thing you can build using this linked data.
A while ago Talis built their BIS Explorer. The aim of this application was to allow users to "identify centres of excellence at the click of a button" and more can be read about the application here. This data mash-up took different data sources about funded research projects and joined them together using linked data. In the original application you could, for example, look at funded research projects by European Region in Great Britain. This can be seen here. At the time this demo was created Ordnance Survey was yet to publish its postcode data as linked data, but if they had it would have been very easy to get a more fine grained view of research projects down at the county and district level. Here's how…
The basic data model of the original BIS data was fairly straight forward. Universities and businesses have a link to the projects they worked on. For each university there is also postcode information. Things get interesting if instead of/as well as linking to a string representation of a postcode you link to the URI for said postcode. This can be done by using the property:
So say we wanted to do this for Imperial College. All we need is this (this example is in N-Triple format) in our data:
<http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/id/postcodeunit/W68RF> .
Now, by the power of linked data, connecting to a resource for the postcode means we can now enrich our university dataset with knowledge of the ward, county and district the university is in. Also, given that the university is connected to a project we have a link from project to region. Through the link from project to university to postcode to region we can now start to have a more finely grained view on which areas are getting more funding.
So how do we do this in practice? There are the steps I followed.
- Download the BIS data from here and load it into a triple store (linked data database) of your choice. There are plenty of good open source ones available e.g. Sesame or TDB to name two.
- I then then added the links to postcode URIs as described above.
- Following that I loaded the data for the postcodes in a similar manner to that described here. A relatively simple script retrieved the RDF for the relevant postcodes and loaded the RDF into my store. The nice thing about linked data and RDF is that the stores are like a big bucket of data and you can keep throwing more and more in. Hopefully future linked data tools will make this step trivial, but for now some scripting was required.
- Job done. I now have links from research projects to regions.
Basically what I created from this was an aggregation of various datasets that you can now query. This is something that is made very easy using linked data and URIs to identify things like postcodes. As more publishers release data in linked data form there is more and more potential for building services and applications on top of aggregations of these datasets. So that's what I decided to do…
This application (I make the usual apology for my lack of web development skills and for the slowness which some caching would not doubt sort out) builds a clickable map view of this data aggregation. The OS OpenSpace API makes it possible to retrieve the unit ID for selected polygons. I can then use this unit ID in a SPARQL query to find the projects funded in that region.
However, it would have been easier if there was a RESTful API on top of the data aggregation that would have let me retrieve these results instead of doing some SPARQL. So that is what I decided to build next using the Linked Data API. The linked data API basically lets you create RESTful type shortcuts to relatively complex SPARQL query. Due to my lack of PHP skills it was an initially bumpy ride getting it to work (see here) but I got there in the end and the result was an API that lets you return research projects by selecting regions either through their SNAC codes or Ordnance Survey IDs, e.g:
http://www.johngoodwin.me.uk/bis/api/project/county/os/{unit id},
e.g. http://www.johngoodwin.me.uk/bis/api/project/county/os/17765
results can be returned in different formats using content negotiation [1] or by simple adding the relevant .html, .json to the URI, e.g.:
I hope this example shows how linked data can be useful in building applications on top of data aggregations. To summarise:
- Publishers release data in linked data format.
- Having data in a common format (RDF) with dereferencable URIs makes it relatively each to retrieve and aggregate from a number of resources, especially if data is linked to URIs for 'things' and not just 'strings'.
- The linked data API makes it possible to build a RESTful service on top of a data aggregation so web developers need not be put of by complex SPARQL queries.
- Applications can then built using these services.
[1] for some reason the HTML conneg only seems to work in Firefox.
/location /location /location – exploring Ordnance Survey Linked Data – Part 2
Ordnance Survey have now released an update to their linked data, which can be seen here. The new data now includes postcode information as well as a few changes to the administrative geography data. In this post I'll go through what's in the data, and give a few sample SPARQL queries.
I spoke a bit about the administrative geography data in a previous blog post – but the data has changed a bit since then. Just to re-cap the administrative geography linked data contains information about administrative and voting geographic regions. These include unitary authorities, counties, wards, constituencies, Welsh Assembly regions and a whole lot more [1]. Here are some examples:
If you want to find a full list of the sorts of thing you can find in the data simply go to the query interface (or SPARQL endpoint as it is know) and try the following query:
select distinct ?type
where { ?a a ?type . }
Now you have the list all of type of things in the data you can as for lists of instances of those types.
For example, the following query will return all of the unitary authorities:
select ?a
where {
?a a <http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/ontology/admingeo/UnitaryAuthority> .
All of the names of all the regions have now been modelled using the SKOS vocabulary. If you want to find the official names of all the unitary authorities you can simple issue a query like:
select ?a ?name
?a a <http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/ontology/admingeo/UnitaryAuthority> .
?a <http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#prefLabel> ?name .}
Also included in the data are two attributes called Unit ID and Area Code. These values are useful if you want to produce a mashup using this data and display it by boundary.
So for example, for Southampton (http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/id/7000000000037256) the area code is UTA (for unitary authority) and the unit ID is 37256. These values can be used as follows:
/*here we set-up the our variable called 'boundaryLayer' with the strategies that we require. In this case, it is its ID and type i.e. Unitary Authority */
boundaryLayer = new OpenSpace.Layer.Boundary("Boundaries",
{ strategies: [new OpenSpace.Strategy.BBOX()], admin_unit_ids: ["37256"], area_code: ["UTA"] });
//then we add the bounadry to the map osMap.addLayer(boundaryLayer);
//this effectively refreshes the map, so that the boundary is visible
to display the Southampton boundary using the OS OpenSpace API. See http://openspace.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/openspace/support.html for more details.
Arguably the most useful information in this data are the qualitative spatial relationships between different regions. Regions are related to the regions they contain, they are within and they touch. In the case of the touching relationship only regions of the same type have an explicit touching relationship. The exception to this are unitary authorities, counties, district and metropolitan district that also have touching relationships between each other. The following simple query will return a list of all counties, districts and unitary authorities that border The City of Southampton. It will also return their names:
PREFIX spatialrelations: <http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/ontology/spatialrelations/>
select ?a ?name
?a spatialrelations:touches <http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/id/7000000000037256> .
?a <http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#prefLabel> ?name .
If you are only interested in the bordering counties you can add an extra line to your query:
PREFIX spatialrelations: <http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/ontology/spatialrelations/>
select ?a ?name
?a spatialrelations:touches <http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/id/7000000000037256> .
?a <http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#prefLabel> ?name .
?a a <http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/ontology/admingeo/County> .
Similarly, the following query returns all the county electoral divisions (and their names) within Hampshire:
PREFIX spatialrelations: <http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/ontology/spatialrelations/>
select ?a ?name
?a spatialrelations:within <http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/id/7000000000017765> .
?a <http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#prefLabel> ?name .
?a a <http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/ontology/admingeo/CountyElectoralDivision> .
For convenience some shortcuts have been added to the data in this release. For certain nesting geographies, such as the county – district – parish or district – ward nestings, various new properties have been added. For example, the property 'counyElectoralDivision' relates all counties to their constituent county electoral divisions. The above query can now be done in a simpler way:
PREFIX admingeo: <http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/ontology/admingeo/>
select ?a ?name
<http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/id/7000000000017765> admingeo:countyElectoralDivision ?a .
?a <http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#prefLabel> ?name .
Similar predicates such as 'county', 'district', 'ward', 'constituency' etc. provide similar shortcuts. For example, the following returns all the Westminster constituencies in South East England.
PREFIX admingeo: <http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/ontology/admingeo/>
select ?a ?name
where {
<http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/id/7000000000041421> admingeo:westminsterConstituency ?a .
?a <http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#prefLabel> ?name . }
The most significant introduction to this data is the inclusion of postcode information. The data now contains information about postcode units, postcode sectors, postcode districts and postcode areas. For each postcode unit an easting/northing coordinate value is given [2] along with the district, ward and county (where applicable) that contains said postcode unit. An example of this can be seen for the Ordnance Survey postcode SO16 4GU. Each postcode is also related to its containinb postcode area, sector and district.
The properties 'ward', 'district' and 'county' relate a postcode to the relevant regions. The simple query:
PREFIX postcode: <http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/ontology/postcode/>
select ?district
where {
<http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/id/postcodeunit/SO164GU> postcode:district ?district .
returns the unitary authority that contains the postcode SO16 4GU.
This query:
PREFIX spatialrelations: <http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/ontology/spatialrelations/>
select ?postcode
?postcode spatialrelations:within <http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/id/postcodearea/SO> .
returns all the postcodes in the SO postcode area.
We can combine the above two queries to find the areas, along with their names, covered by the postcode area SO:

watercolour, gouache, Copic White Opaque on watercolour paper
Being trapped within oneself, one cannot help but to suffer.
D-3! Waa, Infinite definitely caught me off guard with this one. I see a little bit similarity with Last Romeo, both being so dark. But I'm actually a little bit more curious on this one (the thug concept caught me. THUG GYU)
This one was inspired by the mural that appears in the video, which I assume was inspired also by the street artist Retna (you can see my explanation about this issue here). I'm in love with Retna's graffiti work. He has created beautiful composition with his self made scripts. It gives off a foreign, yet spiritual feeling for me. On this one I tried to replicate that style to help me convey the story here.

From the Source's Mouth - The Human Side of Crowdsourcing
Who better to capture the essence of crowdsourcing than a cog in the machine itself? We turned to users of Amazon's Mechanical Turk service to get a snapshot of the human experience behind all the buzz, asking respondents to "tell us about your first crowdsourcing experience." Here's what one respondent told us:
Respondent # A2SWU4Z04QF8LV:
The first time I Crowdsourced, I wrote catalog descriptions. I felt a little like Elaine writing for the J. Peterman catalog. It was fun and intriguing, and, as I'm a teacher, I enjoyed the opportunity to make use of my downtime during the summer. Since last year, I've continued to complete HITs (Human Intelligence Tasks) to pay for my Kindle books and my daughter's Amazon movies. I go through cycles – lots of "turking," and then droughts of not doing any. No matter the topic, I enjoy the writing and I like the little things that Crowdsource does that make us workers feel like we are a community – appreciated, even if we don't really know each other at all.
I am intrigued by the Human Intelligence Tasks, as well as the destination of my work. Where are our individual contributions posted, or pieced together? Who are the people behind the anonymous interface – the people who contract with Crowdsource to gather the bits and pieces that we offer them?
This weekend, I'm planning on taking the top-tier qualification test that Crowdsource offers. I'm excited to have the opportunity to write more in the future – someday, even full-time. Some may feel that the Mechanical Turk system takes advantage of people who will write for next-to-nothing. I do not have that feeling about Crowdsource at all. I don't expect to get rich completing these tasks. I value the variety of exercises and wide range of topics that make the experience a worthwhile way to practice my writing.

BROUSSARD, La. (AP) - The Broussard City Council has voted to accept a $600,000 grant from the Louisiana Community Block Grant Street Improvements Program.
Mayor Charles Langlinais tells The Advocate the money will be applied toward a $1.1 million project to overlay about 50 streets.
Langlinais says the money will be added to the city's $1 million street improvement budget for 2012-13, elevating the total budget for that year to $1.6 million.
He said Tuesday accepting the money will also have the positive effect of moving other Broussard street projects up on state lists for state and federal highway road projects because the CDBG funds can only be used on municipal streets.

If you are unsure if your system/processor is 32 bits or 64 bits, give the following command:
And that outcome will reveal it.
For example, if you get this:
Then the system is capable of running SL 64 bits.
You need to check if among the flags there is "lm".
The "lm" flag means "Long Mode" cpu -> 64 bits
Anything else, without "lm", means that you can only install SL 32 bits.
For example:
Note: using "uname" will not work since uname only gives information on the used OS.
That means that installing SL 32 bits on a 64 bits system will reveal i386/i686 when using uname.

Madeline Lovallo
Howard Beach, New York - United States
E-Mail Madeline Lovallo
The work of Howard Beach resident and renowned artist Madeline Lovallo is currently being shown at the Ozone Park district office of Council Member Eric A. Ulrich. Inspired by local scenery, Lovallo's work includes a selection of oils on canvas ranging from the Carousel at Forest Park, shoreline images of Jamaica Bay and views from the sidewalks of Jamaica Avenue. The artist has completed works capturing Woodhaven Hamilton Beach, Howard Beach and Broad Channel.
Madeline Lovallo has rendered Broad Channel scenes in both watercolor and oils. The other week, she noticed renovations being done on one of the town's most picturesque blocks. The weather was right, so she rushed to the scene with easel in hand. Lovallo, like other artists, wants to capture the unique characteristics of Broad Channel before they disappear into modern anonymity.
Her work has been seen at the Rockaway Music and Arts Council Fall Festival in the past. Most recently, Lovallo included her paintings in 'Arts On The Boards,' a presentation by Rockaway Artist Alliance on the boardwalk the weekend of August 3. Look for her paintings at future exhibits in the Rockaway Artist Alliance Gallery on Beach 116 Street.
Madeline Lovallo has been painting for at least as long as her City Councilman Eric Ulrich ( R-Ozone Park) has been alive. Now, 14 of Lovallo's paintings, each showing a different scene from around or neat Ulrich's Southwest Queens council district, grace the walls of his office. Ulrich got the idea to hang her paintings after receiving a christmas card from Lovallo that featured one of the works. He said he needed decorations for his new office, and asked Lovallo if he could hang prints of her paintings. Lovallo, who continues to sell prints and postcards featuring her works, happily obliged.
Artist Statement:
I paint scenes from life that are comprised of bits and pieces of things that I see in my daily life. I can see one corner of a garden and then a single flower, and then combine them with other things to make an idealized garden.
My work evokes a great sense of nostalgia and the worlds I paint reflect my unique vision of idealized gardens and scenes from an earlier, simpler time. My paintings are brightly colored and joyful in nature. They are ideal for bedrooms, kitchens, and living rooms.

Risotto Cheese Recipes
Kale Risotto Recipe
My husband Lulu has been traveling nonstop for his work these days. I haven't cooked for him in so long. He flew back from Dallas last night, so I thought I'd surprise him with one of his favorite meals: risotto. This rice dish is so versatile that there are always new opportunities for creativity; this time I flavored it with kale and sweet basil leaves. I also added sharp Cheddar and Pecorino cheese and a touch of heavy cream at the end.
Lulu's flight got delayed and he ended coming home really late. So I packed it for him this morning. Hopefully his schedule won't be too busy during lunch time and he'll be able to enjoy it today!
Full Recipe...
Gourmet Mushroom Risotto Recipe
I feel super lucky to live in the Bay Area; there's such an abundance of incredible ingredients. The wide range of gourmet mushrooms available at my local market, The Milk Pail of Mountain View, makes me giddy.
The possibilities when presented with such fine ingredients are nearly endless. I could have prepared a simple, flavorful omelet, but I decided to go for a more delicate dish: vegetarian risotto.
To do so, I used whatever the Milk Pail carried on that particular day (I didn't select everything because the prices of some of the mushrooms gave me the chills). In the end, I included fresh morels, maitake mushrooms, Hegehogs and brown crimini mushrooms. I loved how this gastronomical adventure was able to please and feed my loved ones!
Full Recipe...
Truffle Mushroom Risotto Stuffed Baked Apples
This is an upscale version of risotto that you could offer as a side dish (or main vegetarian course) on Thanksgiving. I love including lightly sweet ingredients in savory dishes, so I came up with the apple and mushroom risotto. I used Jonagold apples, brown mushrooms and truffle butter.
I think making individual servings give a more elegant look to the dish, so I nested the luxurious risotto in baked apples. The apples almost turned into apple sauce which paired beautifully with the risotto.
Full Recipe...
Creamy Spinach Risotto Recipe
I've prepared countless variations of risotto dishes in the past, but risotto is so versatile that there are always new opportunities for creativity. I prepared a creamy spinach version when Sunny's friend Maia stopped by for dinner recently. I hadn't started making dinner yet and immediately gravitated to the creamy rice dish. I combined Vialone Nano rice, Pecorino cheese, fresh spinach leaves, onions, garlic and a touch of heavy cream.
I haven't hit the gym in a month and I won't be able to get back in the groove any time soon as my schedule is booked from morning 'til late at night. So with holiday season right around the corner, I can already venture a guess as to what my New Year's resolution will be. Although I'm enjoying food to the fullest, I've been trying to (at least) maintain portion control.
Full Recipe...
Brussels Sprouts Risotto Recipe
Roasting vegetables is probably the best way to showcase the flavor, particularly the sweetness, of a vegetable. At the market this past week, I found some beautiful Brussels sprouts, which are one of Lulu's favorite vegetables. I really enjoy them as well, especially when roasted. You can use them as a side, or as I did in this risotto, as the primary flavor in a main course.
Brussels sprouts risotto is synonymous with winter; it's succulent, creamy and the ultimate comfort food. I didn't add any cream though, just a touch of herb fromager d'Affinois at the end. To make the dish, I roasted some Brussels sprouts until soft, caramelized and tender and used them as a base to flavor risotto. I also added chopped Brussels sprouts to vegetable broth so the rice is bursting with the taste of the root vegetable.
Risotto is fairly easy to prepare, and a great showcase for fresh ingredients. My trick for consistently preparing quality risotto is to cook the grains of rice in a little oil so they don't stick to each other too much. Then, warm broth is incrementally added until the risotto is cooked to perfection. My husband Lulu loved it and I'm sure if you give this recipe a try, you will too!

Earlier this year, I spotted the post by College Humor staff titled If The Internet Named Movies where the author used common Internet acronyms in place of movie titles and doctored up the movie posters to match.The post made me chuckle and I thought up a few of my own to add to the list.
I've finally gotten around to mashing the movie posters to match, (what a job!), with the help of TypeNow.net and MoviePoster.com.Every blockbuster movie deserves a sequel, so I've titled my post accordingly- If The Internet Named Movies Too.
If some of the acronyms escape you, try a look up at the Urban Dictionary or the Internet Acronyms Dictionary.
Did I miss some? Add your suggestions in the comments and I'll try to recreate them using the movie posters. Please Digg or tweet this post if you like it. Enjoy!

Genre: Romantic Suspense, General Romantic Suspense
London's latest read will remind readers of the TV show Alias. This is a spy-driven suspense that will grab readers right from the start and hold their interest until the very last page.
Violet is dead, killed while undercover in war-torn Bosnia. Simon has brought home everyone else on his team, but the loss of Violet haunts him and he can't let go of the past. She was much more than an operative to him, but he couldn't admit this to himself until it was too late.
A year later, a writer comes to his attention. Her stories seem to be taken from life--Violet's life, that is. How can these top-secret missions be finding the light of day through the descriptive pen of Claire de Beaupre? When Simon digs a little deeper, he finds that Violet is alive and well--and someone wants her dead. Will Simon be able to save the woman he loves, or is Claire just a woman who looks like Violet?
Violet and Simon are larger than life characters. London has created a wonderfully sentimental story that's not only gripping, it's also romantic. This is an amazing addition to the romantic suspense genre. (Nov., 320 pp., $5.99)

Ron Stephens
Irving, TX - United States
E-Mail Ron Stephens
Ron retired from a 33 year career in advertising in 2005 and began thinking about a retirement career. He began painting in watercolor in May 2006 after reading many books and taking a weekly watercolor course from Tom Wellman, President of SWS at that time, at the Irving Heritage Center. Since then, he has taken workshops from Nita Leland, Carl Dalio, Naomi Brotherton, Arne Westerman, Mark Mehaffey, Ratrindra Das, Jane Jones, Skip Lawrence, Leslie Frontz, Maureen Brouillette, and Andy Evansen.
Ron is Publicity Chairman of the Southwestern Watercolor Society. Ron also teaches a once weekly Watercolor class at the Irving Heritage Center.
Ron likes to experiment and has been delving into acrylic abstract. It�s quality of texture and opaqueness adds another dimension not found in straight watercolor. He prefers to gesso watercolor paper for texture before applying watercolor, acrylic, watercolor crayon, charcoal for a mixed media piece. It allows him to also play with different ways of applying the paint. That freedom creates a myriad of shapes, patterns and values that are different and exciting. He feels that there are still many areas that need to be explored to stay creative.
Ron is an avid plein air painter. He got started with past president Tom Wellman in 2007 that introduced Ron to plein air. Ron tries to attend every SWS Paint Out he can and enjoys the challenge of painting on site and dealing with the conditions to achieve the best painting possible.
�My inspiration comes from nature and the endless variety of its textures, shapes, values and colors. From the most complex to simple scenes, anything is possible as subject matter for a painting. I like the complexity of architecture and how it relates to its natural surroundings. I am still fascinated with the amazing qualities of straight watercolor. The feeling of the brush on paper and seeing colors mix with other colors. The excitement of the outcome is exhilarating.�

A silver word necklace created for you. Hand stamped. Beautifully textured. Silver chain. Choose the word or name that resonates most with you.
A word to define 2014 for you or just a word that means so much.
Several years ago I decided I needed a business coach. Someone to inspire me to do more. To be better. To help me get CLEAR!
What better way to remember YOUR word then to wear it around your neck.
This substantial sterling silver bar is stamped on one side with any word you choose. The opposite side is hand textured. It hangs from a 16" sterling silver chain that is finished with a beautiful lobster claw clasp.
What a great graduation or bridesmaid gift. Give them a word. Something inspirational. Something meaningful.
Wear it with the word facing out...or for only you to know. It's your necklace....it's your choice!

Where does Savard fit when he returns?
|04.22.10 at 1:39 pm ET
WILMINGTON — The Bruins had a meeting and workout day at Ristuccia Arena on Thursday before heading to Buffalo for Game 5 on Friday night. Players who did not play in Wednesday's double overtime Game 4 worked out on the ice, including Marc Savard as he makes his way back from a Grade 2 concussion.
"Same as normal, skated with the guys a little bit and tomorrow I will be skating with the guys again so it is positive, for sure," Savard said.
Savard had a doctor's appointment this morning to determine if he was ready for contact but said in the locker room that he had not heard back from about his status. Regardless, Savard will not be taking many hits when he does return to the full team practice as battle drills are typically suspended in the playoffs to keep players as fresh as possible.
"I hope to know this afternoon. There is not going to be much bumping in practice from here on in," Savard said. "You know, tomorrow I think I am cleared to start doing some of that stuff. Some little bumps and stuff and gradually getting back into it."
An interesting question has arisen with the daily Savard Watch — which center gets bumped from the rotation in Savard's eventual return? It probably will not be against Buffalo but if the Bruins can put away the Sabres the reality that Boston has five good centers for four spots.
Bergeron and David Krejci are going to continue to man their respective lines. Vladimir Sobotka has been a spark plugged since getting regular time starting at the beginning of March and has really helped the games of the struggling Blake Wheeler and Michael Ryder since he was paired with them in the final weeks of the regular season. With Savard coming back the natural thing would be to put Sobotka on the fourth line and sit either Steve Begin or Shawn Thornton. If Thornton sits, which would be likely in that situation, Begin would go to the wing and Sobotka would be the center but the fourth line would mean reduced minutes for the center and Boston benefits from having him on the ice.
It is a good problem to have but one that will need to be addressed when (if) Savard comes back.
Outside of Savard, there was not much else cooking around the Bruins in Wilmington. A couple meetings and a few players wandering in and out of the dressing room. Patrice Bergeron and Zdeno Chara both gave the "one game at a time" routine and how hard it will be to close out the Sabres in Game 5 at HSBC Arena.
"It is always tough to play in Buffalo. The fans really get into it and they are really going to be going hard, we all know that so we have to be focusing on our game and be ready," Chara said.
Boston was on the opposite end of the three games to one playoff spectrum last year after winning the first and dropping the next three to Carolina in the conference.
"We've been in their situation before so we know how hard it is to win that fourth game," Chara said.

Rousey has been linked to the UFC for quite some time but it appears that president Dana White has finally brought the former USA Olympian on board.

Rousey — a former U.S. Olympian — has officially joined Dana White's MMA organization … and automatically becomes the 135 lb women's champion.
We're told 25-year-old Ronda will defend her title in 2013 — possible opponents include Sara McMann, Cris Cyborg and rival Miesha Tate.
Rousey has been fighting in Strikeforce since last year and emerged as a superstar … beating the living crap out of just about everybody she's faced. In fact, she's undefeated
The celebrity gossip news site is also reporting that the Strikeforce organization, who has a big show planned for January of 2013, will fold the organization following the event. A Strikeforce rep was contacted but did not comment on the rumors.
Rousey is one of the most charismatic stars in the entire sport regardless of gender. When she is placed on a UFC card, Rousey will automatically be a huge draw especially if she is matched against the dominant Cris Cyborg.
