Melanoma is something that has baffled scientist for years, but it seems that they have finally made a breakthrough and have developed a new drug to treat the condition. Patients who had the disease and used the new drug had an increased survival rate of 69 percent.
When it comes to melanoma research the survival rates have not changed over the years, there has been a huge effort to develop a treatment to cure this often-fatal skin cancer – so it will come as a huge relief to those suffering the condition that there is now a sign of hope.
The drug in question is called ipilimumab and targets the T-cell antibodies, there is even hope that this new drug can attack other forms of cancer as well. The past thirty years have been the worst when it comes to Melanoma, and those who have the advanced stage of the condition have little or no hope of treatment.
This is great to see that new technology that is made available to scientist makes it possible to develop drugs like these – there are those who fear technology but without it we would have much shorter lives. For more details on this new drug read Amanda Gardner's report on Businessweek

I have a question about the recipe "Chubby Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies" from mrslarkin.
From Our Friends
powered by ZergNet
I don't know what you mean by standard ratio, but I will tell you that I have frequently made these cookies and they are the best chewy chocolate chip cookies I've ever had.
Hi Colleen! I got your message. There really isn't a standard salt-to-flour ratio for cookies. It depends on the cookie I guess, and your own personal taste. Salt balances the flavors of the other ingredients, like sugar and chocolate.
Can you describe what happened to your cookies, besides too many chocolate chips and too salty? What was the texture like? Give us some more details and we'd be happy to help you figure it out.
FYI, I use Diamond Crystal kosher salt, unsalted butter, and King Arthur all-purpose unbleached flour. Also, I use an oven thermometer, because my oven is very wonky at times. Make sure your oven is accurate, for best results in general.
The texture, weight and look were piture perfect just like your picture. in fact, first bite they were good but with each bite the salt crystal were evident and after two cookies I didn't want another one. I used unsalted butter, pillsbury all purpose flour and course kosher salt all the same sugars your recipe called for. It must have been the course salt...your thoughts? PS I didn't think there was too many chocolate chips my co-worker thought there were. I thought maybe if I used a different chip she might like it .
I do want to thank you mslarkin, I am going to try them again with the diamond crystal kosher salt. Can you tell me where you can purchase this salt? FYI ...Your recipe was the first beautiful chewy best texture cookie I have ever had sucess with. They were so beautiful I bought a window bakery box to give them to her as a gift... It had to have been the type of salt I used.
What a great gift and a good friend you are! I've seen Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt in practically every store I've ever been in. Here's the website, with pictures. http://www.diamondcrystalsalt...
My Diamond Crystal kosher salt is pretty coarse. But I'm not familiar with Morton's. So it's certainly possible. You could try reducing the Morton's salt to 2 tsp, but I wouldn't go less than that.
You might try milk chocolate chips for a less intense chocolate experience. Personally, I like bits of salt in my choco chip cookies. Sometimes, I sprinkle a little extra on top. ;)
Let us know if you try again. Good luck!
Morton's is "saltier" than Diamond. For each teaspoon of Diamond you'd only want to use 3/4 teaspoon of Morton's. Another alternative would be to use table salt so the grains are finer. Only use half as much as the recipe calls for to get the correct level of saltiness.
I googled Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt vs Morton Course Kosher Salt this might help others if they used the Morton in their recipe to avoid the outcome I had. I know after reading the below article the kind of salt is what made my cookies not turn out. I'll buy the Crystal Kosher Salt and I know they are going to be a success! ;-D
not all salts are created equally.....
Have you ever used Kosher salt in a recipe and found the end result to be like a salt lick and you couldn't imagine how on earth a recipe tester could have not noticed how horribly, horribly oversalted the dish would end up? Let me guess: you were using Morton Kosher Salt. Guess what the recipe tester was probably using? Diamond Kosher Salt. And I know what you're thinking: Now you tell me!
Believe it or not, I only learned about this disparity weeks ago but I had suspected something was wonky for a while. I use Diamond Kosher Salt so I hadn't run into the issue but I've often received comments that people found even a lightly-salted dish way over the top. In short, Morton and Diamond are made differently; Morton salt presses salt granules into large flakes with rollers; Diamond, through a patented process, stacks salt pyramids to form a large crystal — one is dense, the other is like a snowflake. One is intensely salty for its volume, the other has an expected level of saltiness.
So how to adjust for this in recipes where one is measuring salt by volume? A cup of Morton's salt can weigh almost twice as much as a cup of Diamond's salt, and therefore taste twice as salty. The intrepid Jill Santopietro at Chow.com came up with the following equation simply by weighing the salts:
1 teaspoon fine sea or table salt = roughly 1 1/4 teaspoons Morton's kosher salt = roughly 1 3/4 teaspoons Diamond Crystal kosher salt
"Uh, Deb, are we supposed to memorize that?" Of course not. Basically, you can think of a teaspoon of fine sea salt, regular old table salt or Morton salt as just about equivalent in salty impact. If you'd like to use Diamond kosher salt instead of table or sea salt in a recipe, use double.
"But aack, this stresses me out because how am I supposed to know what a recipe tester used?" Here's my advice: Pretend they used Diamond salt. You can always increase the amount of salt later (and hey, isn't "salting to taste" the best way to cook, anyway?) but good luck scrubbing it out.
I just bought the diamond crystal kosher salt...big difference in the weight compared to the mortons. feathery light is the diamond crystal mortons is like a pebble...I can't wait tonight I am re making this recipe! I know it is gonna be delicious.
Wooohoooo!! I made your recipe this week using the diamond crystal kosher salt. OMGosh mrslarkin! My co-workers have not stopped telling me how great delicious they are. I am sorry the first time I made them they didn't work out. I didn't know there was a difference in kosher salts until researching it after you told me what kind of salt you use. Lessoned learned. I wanted to ask you to add a note next to your salt ingredient what kind of salt you used. It would save someone from a failed attempt when making your recipe in case they use Morton's.
I am soooo happy it turned out and is now my favorite chocolate chip cookie!

New Zealand's only faith-based prison unit is under threat of closure unless it meets a Corrections Department edict to make changes to its programme.
Prison Fellowship New Zealand, which runs the 60-bed Rimutaka Prison unit, has been told it has until May 31 to develop a plan for a rehabilitation component to the services that it already offers.
The faith-based unit has housed several hundred inmates since it was established in 2003. It aims to get inmates to turn their lives around through the Christian faith, providing prison activities, restorative justice courses, and post-release support.
A Corrections evaluation of the unit last year found it had had no impact on reducing reoffending.

2004 Chevy Avalanche 2wd, great SFA candidate.
2004 Chevy Avalanche Z66. The plastics have been smoothed and painted like an Escalade. It runs and drives excellent. The whole truck was repainted less than a month ago and it looks excellent. I was intending to put a dana 44 front axle in it and make it 4wd but some other things came up so a project like that is not in my future. I have a np241c transfer case that I would include if interested or sell seperately as well.
- New Transmission - New rear shocks and brakes - Cleared headlights - Loaded, leather interior and sunroof - Escalade wheels with almost new tires (95%) Asking $11,000 O.B.O. I am interested in trades preferably with cash TEXT or call (616)-218-7790. - Justin |

In a follow up to Monday night's Pontiac Township High School Board of Education meeting, in which the board passed a budget with an overall deficit of $3.7 million due to building projects, but still leaving a positive fund balance of about $1.25 million, Superintendent Jon Kilgore spoke with the Daily Leader about why the deficit seems so high and what residents should know about this year's budget.
Last year, the high school's overall balance was $4.29 million. This number is deceptively high because on June 30, the last day of fiscal year 2012, the high school had $3.2 million in the operations and maintenance fund. Debt certificates that the high school borrowed at a low interest rate to pay for the work on the heating and cooling project came in earlier than expected and were therefore placed on last year's budget.
"We thought it would come in during the month of July and be part of this year's budget," said Kilgore. "But it actually came in early so we deposited it in June, and it is showing up in the fiscal year of last year. We would have much more favorable numbers for fiscal year 2013 if that amount had showed up later."
Although the overall budget for the year was a deficit, $1.249 million will be left over in the fund balance at the end of the year. Kilgore explained the fund balance is what is left in the bank after that deficit and the spending for the year and based on the borrowing and using of savings for their current project and any other expenditures that may take place during the year.
"The bulk of that deficit is a result of the project that we are finishing up here," said Kilgore. "So, even after, if you take all that off the table, the district still has around $1.25 million in the bank."
With total revenues for this year expected to reach $10.5 million and total expenditures reaching $14.2 million, Kilgore said it's obvious that the high school will be spending more than they brought in. However, Kilgore said because the money was spent purposely to invest in the building, the high school is still financially sound with the fund balance left over.
"I'm not happy where the whole state's finances are, so in that regards, no I'm not happy with the budget," said Kilgore. "But, I understand where we're at with the budget and the decisions have been made to invest in our building. At the same time, recognition of the climate in Illinois means we are going to have to pay very close attention to our budget and our programs. We are going to have to tighten our belt in some areas as we see how state funding goes."

Prudence (pictured here with Jessica trying to put a Victorian bonnet on her head) is unwell. Some weeks ago we told you that she had become lame and that the vet was hoping that her cruciate ligament would repair itself.
Well, it hasn't.
She is now very lame and will have to have an operation soon after the Weird Weekend.
Remember her in your thoughts and prayers.

This location, while inconspicuous, holds some significance for the original Sonoma Prismoidal Railroad, for it is here where Mr. Kohn stopped the construction of his railroad because he could not figure out how to cross roads at-grade. Today, this track holds maintenance-of-way equipment. Photo by Andrew Laverdiere, January 2009.
The Glen Ellen Branch's history features unique technology, multiple gauges, and multiple owners. The line was preceded by a prismoidal railroad, using a monorail-like technology that in the latter part of the 19th century was cheaper to construct than a conventional railroad.
The Sonoma Prismoidal Railroad ran for 6 months in the same general corridor of what was to become the Glen Ellen Branch. The ultimate railroad right-of-way was first established by the Sonoma Valley Railroad, which was incorporated in 1878 and built a narrow-gauge line from Sonoma Landing, on San Francisco Bay, to Sonoma. In 1881 the Sonoma and Santa Rosa Railroad extended narrow gauge tracks from Sonoma to Glen Ellen, and was subsequently incorporated into the Sonoma Valley Railroad. This line and its 1888 connection to the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad between Sears Point and Ignacio were broad-gauged in 1890.
The Glen Ellen branch was effectively a branch line from the Southern Pacific's "interchange" with the NWP at Schellville north to Sonoma and Glen Ellen. These lines were purchased by the San Francisco and North Pacific, and ultimately became part of the Northwestern Pacific Railroad (NWP). The NWP was jointly owned by the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe until 1929, when it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Southern Pacific. The SP had built its own route into the Valley of the Moon that crossed the NWP Glen Ellen line at Schellville, served Glen Ellen, and continued up the valley to Santa Rosa. In 1934, the SP and NWP consolidated portions of these lines resulting in the NWP between Yulupa and Glen Ellen to be abandoned in favor of the parallel SP line. The Sonoma-Yulupa-Glen Ellen trackage of both NWP and SP were abandoned in 1942. The SP/NWP continued to serve Sonoma until the 1970s.
The portion of the branch to Vineburg, south of Sonoma, shows up on more recent rail maps, but today the track is severed south of Sonoma Airport. Today, in Sonoma at 270 First Street West, a rebuilt railroad depot hosts a local history museum, complete with two vintage freight cars and an SP caboose. (The original depot burned in 1976.) The right-of-way hosts a bike path from this point north. On the east side of town, the tracks have mostly been removed, but are visible in the pavement at Sebastiani Vineyard. The vineyard also has a caboose on site. Railroad crossing pavement markings and embedded rails are still visible on 7th Street, East Napa Drive and along 8th Street to Vineburg. The right-of-way is easily followed paralleling 8th Street from Sonoma to Schellville. At Vineburg, tracks are still in place at a feed mill and extending south about a half mile. They've been torn up from there to just north of Schellville, where a timber trestle still stands and the abandoned tracks wrestle with the roots of a eucalyptus windbreak.

I lived in Sonoma Valley from 1940 to 1987 and saw steam engines come to the town station. Also saw many trains crossing the Wingo bridges but never saw the turn-table bridge in use, only the drawbridge where we fished. Fished and hunted the sloughs for decades. Great memories!
Bob Douglas Smith River, CA 3/14/2013
The route through Sonoma Developmental Center shows the track on the NE side of Trestle Glen Drive near "Blooms". (The nursery within SDC, visible by the green awnings in the satellite image). However, there are still remains from what appears to be a railroad bridge on the SW side of Trestle Glen Drive over the "green" pond located just South of Blooms.

In the course of the evening, Weller shakes his head up and down in the throes of hard-ecstasy; he plays long guitar solos; he sits down at the piano with his back to the audience; he smiles a lot; in short, he does many things he was never expected to do, and does them brilliantly. Weller's clothes are still casual but smart - he is one of the few non-who can wear white trousers without embarrassment - but he is newly light of heart. After years of frantic searching he has hit upon a musical style to call his own.
The tough but tender mod psychedelia of his latest album Wild Wood (Go] Discs) is the best move he's made in years, and he knows it. Excepting covers (Traffic's 'Feelin' Alright', Neil Young's 'Ohio', and a jokey snatch of The Who's 'Magic Bus'), he plays nothing that wasn't written this decade - those who want to hear Jam songs can put the records on when they get home - but if ever a show had 'golden age of rock' written through it, this one does. It has been widely observed that Paul Weller has taken 15 years to make a musical journey that Steve Winwood (swapping the Spencer Davis Group for Traffic) made in one, but Winwood did not have so much baggage to carry. He was not the British Bob Dylan. He never shopped at Mister Byrite.
Weller's folksiness is a way of shrugging off a burden of expectation. With it comes a certain lyrical vagueness - goodbye Tube stations and street names, hello wild woods - but if this is the price to be paid to have him singing and playing the guitar as well as this, so be it. The music, in a serrated 'Sunflower' and a tumbling 'Holy Man', is crunchier than ever. Weller's well-balanced band - Yolanda Charles on bass, Steve Craddock on back-up guitar, Style Councillor Steve White on drums and Helen Turner on keyboards - are the perfect foil for his lusty machismo. They do their jobs efficiently and with some style; he struts about like a rooster with a feather-cut.
'Can I ask you something?' Pulp's Jarvis Cocker demands on first acquaintance with a packed but not over-attentive crowd at the Astoria II, 'Do you want something to happen tonight?' The response is muted. 'Because if you want something to happen,' Jarvis continues, dry as yesterday's madeira cake, 'we can make something happen.' Having spent more than a decade on the bottom of bills no one in their right mind would want to be on top of, this man is not about to waste his shot at the big time.
Whether wishing to allay the widespread disappointment that greets the flu-ridden non-appearance of fast-rising support act Elastica, or merely sensing the presence of arrivistes ripe for corruption, Jarvis is extraordinarily communicative between songs. He shares with us everything from the anti-climactic nature of his early sexual experiences to a recent trauma involving his Hillman Imp and a posse of joyriders. The new song that has emerged from this, appropriately entitled 'Joy Riders', is going to be one of his very best.
The band seem to have put on muscle; their wobbly keyboards and dentist's-drill noises are more together now, but Jarvis is the star. He dances as if under attack from an invisible assailant. His singing is laced with the anguished yelps of a man who has just swallowed ice cream that was too cold for him.
When legendary saxophonist Pharoah Sanders takes the stage for his third night at Dingwalls, some of the audience are still eating their dinner. This always seems disrespectful to me; if they're so hungry why don't they just go to Pizza Hut?
Mr Sanders is oblivious to such insolence. His imposingly stately attire - blue pill-box hat and sequinned halberd - is compounded by a striking resemblance to Jomo Kenyatta. The rest of his quartet are younger, but they start their set in the true spirit of free jazz, that other great black independence movement, echoing African decolonialisation. The amusing whoop and wobble of a selection of amplified toys gives way to a first number proper that reaches a peak of amazing intensity. As the rhythm builds and Sanders summons up blast after icy blast of melodious breath, his silver beard and moustache flutter until it seems his head is going to come off.
Things quickly mellow out. For all the forbidding reputation he forged with John Coltrane, Sanders is more of an all-round entertainer now. He sings - 'I've got the blues]' - dances, and graces both supper-and Acid Jazz standards with his pure and fluid tone. The mischief and holiness have not left him either. He wanders back from an early off-stage sortie with saxophone in one hand and beer bottle in the other, and proceeds - at some length - to play the bottle.
Weller: Ipswich Regent, 0473 28148, tonight. Sanders: Bristol Trinity Arts Centre, 0272 550659, tonight; Manchester Al's Music Cafe, 061-236 9971, tomorrow.

ruffles ruffles ruffles. i didn't want to believe that this was an up and coming trend when 2 of my designer friends suddenly made an all-ruffles collection and my roommate zana used a massive pink ruffles dress to style a shoot she worked on. but having run into this cute turquoise dress yesterday, i have to say i can see why ruffles should have a comeback.

Proud claimer of Cyndaquil and Ezio Auditore from Assassin's Creed !!
Also proud claimer of Assassin's Creed 2 the game!!
Just became the proud claimer of the Marvel's Agent's of S.H.I.E.L.D. TV show ^_^!!!
Don't discuss about character's leaving yet in this thread. We don't when a new generation will start. Please, stop your speculation about Cilan and Iris leaving yet because they aren't leaving for Episode N.
Also, I'm going to be "contrary" of the fandom here:
Sorry, I like "cute" Pokemon more than "cool" pokemon. I don't mind that some pokemon of Ash's team won't evolve because they're too cute to evolve. Because the anime has the "power" (they don't use well) of boosting marketable pokemon into powerhouses like his fullly evolved counterpart. I don't mind not evolving if the writers want to keep in merch. A different thing is the reserves that don't appear in merchandise. Those pokemon should be fully evolved.
Sorry, I prefer Oshawott having screentime for marketing than a Infernape sweeping through the Unova League.
I think that Pokemon is beautiful and has its charm
Serebii, Bulbagarden
Note: I decided to not post post that had cause hate to me anymore. If you see one, please PM me and I will delete the moment I'm aware and I'm online.
I need to take a break in the anime forum because these forum bored me.
Why are you guys treating the anime like competitive gameplay?
If the writers want the otter to win it will...
It's not gonna win anyway, Pignite looks like it will with Brick Break or Arm Thrust or sumtin (FINALLY)
3DS Friend Code: 0473-8153-4660 (Fairy safari)
I'll fix my sig eventually....
Emerald Nuzlocke Team: Fire Red Randomizer Nuzlocke Team:
Black 2 team:Y Team:
Predictions for Ash's team:
Spoiler:- Shinies:
It seems like most of our move predictions are coming true. Even though I think Aerial Ace on Krookodile was never mentioned. I'm curious to what Snivy, Oshawott, Unfezant, Boldore, and Scraggy learned.
Oh my cousins Hydreigon got one shot X-Scissored by the subway masters Durant of all pokemon lol, it's not that great.

So I herd u liek Mudkipz...
Friend Safari: Aipom, Audino, and DITTO!
#TeamLitten #TeamSun
I've claimed Monferno!
Ran into Dragonite in Pokemon Go and it fled :'(
Well, Pokemon.co.jp merch:
This toy is about Genesect. Fort the moment, allmerch is purple Genesect.
A shorts, a mini pokemon center and some wallpaper with Pikachu, Eevee, Meowth (and in one, Wobbuffet) and Oshawott.
Towel with Charizard, Therian Formes, Kyurem Formes and Lucario
A plushes that can move: with Pikachu, Eevee and Piplup.
Exist two more with Piakchu and a Pokemon Center poster that I don't seem necessary to post.
EDIT: About the thing that Street Comedy did last night. One thing is have the Makuhita avatar and other is pretending to be CyberCubed. But I'll find funny that ConUxie, Princess Rasperyl (or how it's username is; before Sapphire Iris) and Azran Flame (before Flame Mistress) wear the same avatar. At least one of them has only this avatar and the other two are fans of Iris.
EDIT2: Differenciate anime from Smogon/Pokemon Online tiers completely. If you want to talk about Smogon/PO tiers, go to his forums.

I need to take a break in the anime forum because these forum bored me.
Ok by the end of this Saga , before generation six, here s my prediction for all of Ash's pokemon:
Oshawott, Fury Cutter
Emboar it will learn Arm thrust
Servine I think it will learn Magical Leaf instead of razor leaf and return, A move so damn old but it hasn't been shown in the anime yet!
Scrafty, it will learn Head Smash and Payback. Though it will evolve very very late.
Seismitoad Drain Punch, Hyper Voice, Muddy Water, and Maybe Bulldoze, Of course depends on the way they animate the move. if they can avoid shaking ground and making up fissures. maybe it will look like a soil version of surf? just smaller....
Gigalith, if anyone read the manga at all, in the first one, when Red and blue switched pokeballs by a mistake, without a machine, Blue's Machok evolved into Machamp. this proves there no necessity for the machine, all t needs is a new owner. this could be done innocently by ash and any of his companions, friends, or even a character of the day making a mistake and using the wrong ball. I think it will learn Solar Beam and super Power instead of sandstorm and rock smash.
Bulbasor, Kingler, Muk, Tauros, Snorlax, Heracross, Quilava, Noktowl, Swellow, Sceptile, Staraptor, Torterra, and Buizel.
Meganium, it will learn Aroma Therapy.
Croconaw, it will upgrade bite to crunch, and water gun to Hydro Pump.
Crawdaunt, Night Slash and Guillotine.
Torkoal, maybe a gen 6 evolution?
Infernape, Close Combat
Gabite Dual Chop, Stone edge
Eevee will evolve into a gen six evolution. most likely a steel type eevee Steeleon or something like that...
Just for sake of completion: 1 2 3
Still, thanks fer92. You really saved me from trouble.
Also new Candy Set for 25th September:
3-Deoxys Attack Forme
As for the tiers topic, I think dman_dustin has posted some fantastic posts about it and I fully agree with him, but while I want to talk more about it, it will go on for a while and this is not really the thread to talk about so I guess I just have to agree to disagree with others.
This is Turtwig, he was the most under appreciatted starter in Diamond & Pearl. If you picked Turtwig as your starter, put this in your sig . Started by Dax-360
Youtube, DeviantArt, Bulbagarden, Imageshack, Photobucket, Smogon, Blog, Pokémon Series Analysis Dropbox Folder, Tumblr. PO/PS Username: Yusuf Kaya 3.0
People fail to understand the difference between game tactics and anime tactics.
On topic, I'm going to take a stab at the final Unova teams.
possibly a 6th gen Pokemon or Pokemon that has a new evolution that follows him to the next region like Aipom.
also (and this is mainly wishful thinking on my part), maybe Gible gets reused for one episode and evolves into Gabite
Axew/Fraxure (if this thing's ever evolving, it's going to be at the end)

The Parents Television Council (PTC) is sounding off against an upcoming 'Gossip Girl' episode, which will feature a threesome.
The organization, best known for sparking the Janet Jackson indecency controversy with the FTC, has asked 120 CW affiliates around the country to preempt the episode, B&C reports.
It has also asked its members to assist in the boycott. "I appeal to your highest sense of decency, respect and common sense in urging you to preempt this episode," wrote PTC President Tim Winter in a strongly worded letter.
The median age of 'Gossip Girl' is 27 (the CW's is 33) and the show was given a TV-14 rating.
The threesome news was first reported by EW, but no word yet on what characters will take part.
The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.

--I have never come across any so far other than the Gracie Academy......I give them credit for that for sure......once I get my finances squared away I plan to do some privates at the academy....I had set up a private with Ralek but I had to cancel it.....I plan to schedule another date so I can have him go over my self defense techniques and make sure I have everything squared away.

Artemis BJJ | Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Bristol--That's true, and it is good to have some kind of standardisation in place, which could counteract a general problem in martial arts and self defence: anyone can throw on a black belt, make up a martial art, fabricate years of street fighting and tournament victories, then open up a school. That doesn't look like it will be possible with this Instructor Certification Program.
The main concern is whether or not is it really possible to take somebody with no prior teaching experience, run them through an online program, and produce a capable instructor after meeting them in person for two days. I see according to the last lesson mentioned on the website that you are supposed to submit five videos: I'm hoping at least one of those will be of you teaching a class. It will be good to hear from someone who has gone through the program: are you intending to enrol, Punisher?
Lesson 52: Video Evaluation Guidelines
Ryron and Rener provide detailed specifications for each of the five videos that you will need to upload in order to be considered for advancement to the live evaluation at the Gracie Academy Headquarters in Torrance, CA.
The Gracie ICP has only just been launched, so I'm willing to accept the possibility that the online training is so well done that a two day evaluation will be enough for quality control. It makes me uncomfortable given that it seems like such a brief period for evaluating somebody (not just teaching ability, but their character too, a point sensibly made by Helio when he spoke about "someone with the morals I expect to become an instructor"), but as ever, we'll have to wait and see.
I've had plenty of shitty instructors, who didn't know the first thing about how to organize a curriculum, structure a class, or teach a technique.
That isn't unusual: for example, Gracie Barra has a clear approach in place with their Gracie Barra Fundamentals syllabus, and I believe Alliance is producing something similar. Draculino is known for his structured curriculums: indeed, this is something Romulo Barral pointed out when I asked him:

Can anyone point out it me any other place that offers specific courses in how to TEACH martial arts, separate and distinct for how to perform them?

All instructors for Judo, and other sports, must possess the brevet d'état d'éducateur sportif - state licence for teaching sport. If you teach Judo without this your club is illegal and the police and the courts will shut you down!
For Judo the entry requirements to commence the course are:
-Over 18
-Certified first aider
- 2nd dan or above
- Have passed the admission test
The panel for the admission test is composed of:
-a representative of the department of sports, head of the panel
-a representative of the Judo federation
-one or more teacher, who already holds the "state license"
The admission test consists of:
-an essay about judo (1 hour)
-an interview with the panel (20 minutes)
-4 technical examinations including:
Demonstration of several randomly nage waza
Demonstration of several randomly ne waza
Nage no Kata
If they meet all the criteria, then the candidate embarks on a yearlong study programme made up of a common and a sport specific course.
The common course:
The sport's ministry oversees this section.
The common course includes:
- Biology & anatomy (70 hours)
-Pedagogy (70 hours)
-Laws and regulations about sport and sporting spirit (60 hours)
Sport specific course:
The French federation of Judo (FFJDA) oversees the teaching and testing of this section.
People studying Judo at sports universities are prepared for the state licence exam as part of their university course. A significant number of Judo teachers in France will have gone through sports universities.
There are also regional centres for sports education, which are 'franchises' of the sport department, who prepare candidates for the exam.
The specific Judo courses include:
-Judo regulations and refereeing (100 hours), includes practical sessions
-Teaching Judo yo kids (240 hours)
- Teaching Judo for adults (270 hours)
-Teaching Judo for special needs (120 hours);
-Placement period in a club (270 hours)
Throughout these courses, candidates are also supposed to revise all Judo techniques, plus Nage no kata, Katame no kata, Goshin jitsu no kata and Kime no kata.
The total length of the course is 1200 hours.
Teachers of the candidates are at least 4th dan, generally 5th dan
The panel of the final exam is composed of the same people as the admission test i.e government rep, NGB rep and qualified teacher.
The final test includes:
-A technical exam: demonstration of waza, kata and self defence.
-Oral exam: one technical question and one pedagogical question
-Pedagogical exam: the panel give the candidate a theme for a judo session; the candidate prepare a lesson plan for the session, submits it to the panel, who ask him to demonstrate one aspect of his session.
If they succeed, they are awarded the "state license level 1" there's also a state licence level 2 that is required to teach elite athletes.
All that just to open a club and people wonder why the state of Judo is so poor in America and the UK compared to places like France.

I just read this:
Renzo Gracie: ...now that you mention, I had a very strange experience this past week. One of my students, he actually went to California, and he ask me where he should train. I say, "the Gracie Academy," because that was the closest place to where he was going. I sent him to Rorion's Academy, the one in Torrance. He goes in, and they told him that he shouldn't train there, because that place was the "real jiu jitsu place." It was like they were saying he doesn't know jiu jitsu, and is learning from a source that doesn't know how to teach.
You know what happened, my friend: I see a lot of people now, especially my family, saying that. "Oh, I know the real jiu jitsu, you don't know the real jiu jitsu." We all learn from the same place, we all develop the same art together, growing up. But for some reason, once they jump in a plane and they move to America they try to sell a product, like the American people are a bunch of fools. Right now, I became American, and I know there are no fools here...
If they wanted to keep a monopoly on "the real", they should have just kept winning fights & shouldn't have bothered trying to get rich off of opening academies & grossly overcharging."Judo is a study of techniques with which you may kill if you wish to kill, injure if you wish to injure, subdue if you wish to subdue, and, when attacked, defend yourself" - Jigoro Kano (1889)
***Was this quote "taken out of context"?***
"The judoist has no time to allow himself a margin for error, especially in a situation upon which his or another person's very life depends...."
~ The Secret of Judo (Jiichi Watanabe & Lindy Avakian), p.19
"Hope is not a method... nor is enthusiasm."
~ Brigadier General Gordon Toney

Personally, although I think a curriculum can be a good thing, one thing that makes BJJ, well, BJJ is how individual it is. Everyone will develop differently based on their own preferences, experiences, tastes, body type, attributes, etc. With that being said, having a "hard" technique based curriculum can be a negative as it rewards those who can essentially "know the test" as opposed to knowing the material. It can sometimes punish those who "know the material" but may not know the test.
As long as the curriculum isn't some hard, set in stone, non-flexible standard, that allow students to grow and develop in their own way then it's a good thing. If it's "know this technique for your blue belt, know that technique for your purple belt" then there will be problems. Hell, even I didn't start getting serviceable at the scissors sweep until I was a around Purple belt. It's not so much what you know, but knowing how to apply what you know that counts, in my opinion.
Well, I've said this a million times and I'm sure it has been said a million times. This is basically what other martial arts started doing when more affective forms of combat sports started gaining prominence. It's the whole "we train for self defense/the street". It's essentially just a way to pray on people's fear of getting into a self defense confrontation. By doing so, you are able to heard people in your direction by making them feel like you are providing them something additional that will protect their lives that the "sport fighters/styles/schools" can't.

I don't intend to enroll. As I've said before, I love Gracie Combatives, but pretty much despise the Graices. I don't really care about being a official GJJ Blue Belt or a Level I Certifired Instructor/Training Center.
If the classes were on DVD I might buy them to add to my collection to see if I can pick up any teaching techniques. As far as I can tell the Gracie's know how to structure a class and curriculm. I don't see if someone followed the formula how the could go wrong.

^No Doubt did seem apologetic so that's why I was a bit surprised that they didn't include a discussion about the issue in the article. It's a shame because Vogue has on occasion tackled "tough" issues in cover stories and it certainly would have provided more depth and interest surrounding the article. Plus, it could have been a way to sell more copies too, if they made it a tagline or something, it could've caught the media's attention. Anyways, it's their loss.

Its been made official, not very long after we spoke about the rumored specs of a new Nikon DSLR flagship, the D3s has been confirmed to arrive this November. So what's new in the latest D3s? The most stunning new piece of hardware in this badboy is a redesigned sensor which allows it to shoot up to ISO 102,400 – the D3s will certainly not suffer from any nightblindness!
Last week Sony announced the launch of their next in the line Alpha series DSLR cameras, the Alpha 500 and 550 (see the press release after the break). To be out from the end of October this year, the DSLR-A550 and DSLR-A500 digital SLRs are based around new CMOS sensors with added manual focus confirmation live view mode using the main imaging sensor, in addition to Sony's secondary-sensor Quick AF live view system.
Both cameras feature Sony's better noise reduction, include an Auto HDR mode and offer sensitivity of up to ISO 12800. The 14.2 MP A550 features a higher resolution 921k dot 3″ tilt-angle LCD, while the 12.3 MP A500 comes with a 230k dot resolution 3″tilt-angle LCD.The pictures below are the first hands on photos taken with the Alpha 500 by the folks over at Pocket Lint.
Though stepped up and improved, I think its a smart decision for Sony to keep the tilt-angle LCD as I have personally found it too useful when I tested previous models myself. See more photos after the jump… Continue reading »
Both the Canon EOS Rebel T1i and the Nikon D5000 are the latest digital SLRs to be released this year by the two popular camera brands. While the Nikon D5000 is cheaper and does offer a fancy articulating display which always attracts that bit more attention, the T1i does offer more megapixels (15.1) and boasts full HD video capture.
Either way, both are not a cheap investment especially at this time and if you've been considering them, the specs comparison table after the jump may help you decide which would suit your needs best. Continue reading »
Straight after the Easter long weekend, Nikon has now announced the recently much rumored D5000. With a 2.7-inch articulating display, the D5000 is equipped with a 12.3 megapixel DX-format sensor that maxes out at ISO 3200 with a 4fps burst rate, sports one-button Live View, and 720/24p movie mode. Other features include an 11-point AF system with 3D focus tracking and 19 scene modes. With a number of high end features, the price tag is pretty heavy as well, the D5000 will cost $849 with a 18-55 VR kit lens, or $729 for just the body – not surprisingly, this price tag is just under that of the Canon T1i.

The hertz (symbol: Hz) is the International System of Units (SI) base unit of frequency. The definition of the hertz is based upon that for the second, namely: the hyperfine splitting in the ground state of the caesium 133 atom is exactly 9 192 631 770 hertz, (hfs Cs) = 9 192 631 770 Hz.[1]
Its base unit is cycle/s or s-1 (also called inverse seconds, reciprocal seconds). In English, hertz is used as both singular and plural. As any SI unit, Hz can be prefixed; commonly used multiples are kHz (kilohertz, 103 Hz), MHz (megahertz, 106 Hz), GHz (gigahertz, 109 Hz) and THz (terahertz, 1012 Hz).
One hertz simply means one cycle per second (typically that which is being counted is a complete cycle); 100 Hz means one hundred cycles per second, and so on. The unit may be applied to any periodic event—for example, a clock might be said to tick at 1 Hz, or a human heart might be said to beat at 1.2 Hz. The frequencies of aperiodic events, such as radioactive decay, are expressed in becquerels.
To avoid confusion, periodically varying angles are typically not expressed in hertz, but rather in an appropriate angular unit such as radians per second. A disc rotating at 60 revolutions per minute (RPM) can thus be said to be rotating at ≈6.283 rad/s or 1 Hz, where the latter reflects the number of complete revolutions per second. The conversion between a frequency f measured in Hertz and an angular frequency ω measured in radians/s are:

The hertz is named after the German physicist Heinrich Hertz, who made important scientific contributions to electromagnetism. The name was established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in 1930.[2] It was adopted by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) (Conférence générale des poids et mesures) in 1960, replacing the previous name for the unit, cycles per second (cps), along with its related multiples, primarily kilocycles per second (kc/s) and megacycles per second (Mc/s). The term cycles per second was largely replaced by hertz by the 1970s.
The term "gigahertz", most commonly used in computer processor speed and radio frequency (RF) applications, can be pronounced either /ˈgigaˌhɝts/, with a hard /g/ sound or /ˈʒɪgaˌhɝts/ or /ˈdʒɪgaˌhɝts/, with a soft /ʒ/ sound at the beginning of the word. The prefix "giga-" is derived directly from the Greek "γιγας" and hence the preferred pronunciation is /ˈgɪga/. Some electrical engineers use /ˈdʒɪga/, by analogy with "gigantic".
Sound is a traveling wave which is an oscillation of pressure. Humans perceive frequency of sound waves as pitch. Each musical note corresponds to a particular frequency which can be measured in hertz. An infant's ear is able to perceive frequencies ranging from 16 Hz to 20,000 Hz; the average human can hear sounds between 20 Hz and 16,000 Hz.[3] The range of ultrasound, infrasound and other physical vibrations such as molecular vibrations extends into the megahertz range and well beyond.
Electromagnetic radiation
Electromagnetic radiation is often described by its frequency—the number of oscillations of the perpendicular electric and magnetic fields per second—expressed in hertz.
Radio frequency radiation is usually measured in kilohertz, megahertz, or gigahertz; this is why radio dials are commonly labeled with kHz, MHz, and GHz. Light is electromagnetic radiation that is even higher in frequency, and has frequencies in the range of tens (infrared) to thousands (ultraviolet) of terahertz. Electromagnetic radiation with frequencies in the low terahertz range, (intermediate between those of the highest normally-usable radio frequencies and long-wave infrared light), is often called terahertz radiation. Even higher frequencies exist, such as that of gamma rays, which can be measured in exahertz. (For historical reasons, the frequencies of light and higher frequency electromagnetic radiation are more commonly specified in terms of their wavelengths or photon energies: for a more detailed treatment of this and the above frequency ranges, see electromagnetic spectrum.)
In computing, most central processing units (CPU) are labeled in terms of their clock speed expressed in megahertz or gigahertz (109 hertz). The number of megahertz refers to the frequency of the CPU's master clock signal ("clock speed"). This signal is simply an electrical voltage which changes from low to high and back again at regular intervals. Hertz has become the primary unit of measurement used by the general populace to determine the speed of a CPU, but many experts have criticized this approach, which they claim is an easily manipulable benchmark.[4] For home-based personal computers, the CPU has ranged from approximately 1 megahertz in the late 1970s (Atari, Commodore, Apple computers) to nearly 4 GHz in the present. This can be increased even further by increasing the frequency of the CPU in the BIOS or other software.
Various computer buses, such as memory buses connecting the CPU and system random access memory (RAM), also transfer data using clock signals operating at different frequencies in the megahertz ranges (for modern products).

Frequencies not expressed in hertz
Even higher frequencies are believed to occur naturally, in the frequencies of the quantum-mechanical wave functions of high-energy (or, equivalently, massive) particles, although these are not directly observable, and must be inferred from their interactions with other phenomena. For practical reasons, these are typically not expressed in hertz, but in terms of the equivalent energy.
