A new study from researchers at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania reports that endoluminal (endoscopic) therapies, combining resection and ablation techniques, for patients with Barrett's esophagus and high-grade dysplasia or early mucosal cancer have a high success rate, with durable results and a low risk of complications. The researchers noted that endoscopic surveillance after successful eradication is required.
The study appears in the February issue of GIE: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.
Barrett's esophagus (BE) is a precancerous condition with a known risk of progressing to cancer, especially when high-grade dysplasia (HGD, abnormal cells) is observed. Esophagectomy has been the standard treatment for BE with HGD or early mucosal cancer (intramucosal carcinoma). Endoluminal therapy is an alternative to operative resection in selected patients with decreased morbidity and equivalent long-term results to surgery.
"Endoluminal therapy has not been broadly applied, and there is limited long-term follow-up. Moreover, endoluminal therapy techniques have evolved over time, challenging assessments of long-term efficacy and effectiveness," said study lead author Gregory G. Ginsberg, MD, FASGE, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and past president of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. "We sought to assess the efficacy, safety, and durability of an aggressive, endoscopic, multiple-mode approach of complete eradication of intestinal metaplasia (abnormal cells) in patients with HGD and/or intramucosal carcinoma. We found that multiple-mode endoluminal therapy, combining resection and ablation techniques, for Barrett's esophagus with high-grade dysplasia or early cancer with intention to complete eradication of all intestinal metaplasia was successful, with low observed recurrence of dysplasia or cancer. However, recurrence of intestinal metaplasia occurs in one-third of cases, therefore persistent vigilant surveillance is required."
Endoluminal Therapies
Endoscopic therapy may include removal of Barrett's with dysplasia using endoscopic mucosal resection, which removes abnormal tissue in the esophagus without damaging the rest of the esophagus. Endoscopic ablation of Barrett's tissue can be done with either radiofrequency ablation, which destroys and kills cells by heating them, or cryotherapy, which destroys cells by freezing them. After either treatment, the esophagus grows back a normal healthy lining.
Endoluminal therapy is an option for selected patients with Barrett's esophagus and high-grade dysplasia or early cancer. In this study, researchers sought to assess long-term outcomes of patients treated with endoluminal therapy with the goal of complete eradication of all dysplasia and intestinal metaplasia. This was a retrospective cohort study of selected patients referred with dysplastic Barrett's esophagus at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania between January 1998 and December 2009. Patients received endoluminal therapy combining resection and photodynamic therapy, radiofrequency ablation, and/or argon plasma coagulation treatment that was individualized based on patient and lesion characteristics, technique evolution and interval response. Complete eradication of dysplasia, all intestinal metaplasia, and recurrences was assessed.
A total of 166 patients were treated and had at least one year of follow-up. Complete elimination of neoplasia (abnormal cells) was achieved in 157 patients (95 percent) and complete elimination of intestinal metaplasia was achieved in 137 patients (83 percent). After therapy, patients were followed for 33 (range 18-58) months. Among patients who achieved complete elimination of intestinal metaplasia, subsequent recurrent intestinal metaplasia was detected in 48 (35 percent) and dysplasia in 12 (9 percent).
Among those who achieved only complete elimination of dysplasia, recurrent dysplasia was detected in six of 19 patients (32 percent). Statistical analysis showed that multifocal dysplasia and patient's age were risk factors for dysplasia and carcinoma recurrence, and complete elimination of intestinal metaplasia was a protective factor. Retreatment achieved remission in 90 percent of cases. Forty-two patients (23.9 percent) had complications, including 21 with stricture (11.9 percent) and one treatment-related death. Most adverse events were minor and responded to endoscopic or supportive therapy.
The researchers concluded that multiple-mode endoluminal therapy, combining resection and ablation techniques, for patients with BE and HGD and/or early mucosal cancer, with the intention of achieving complete eradication of all intestinal metaplasia can achieve a high success rate with durable results and low risk of morbidity. However, endoluminal therapy typically requires multiple treatment sessions over many months, life-long proton-pump inhibitor therapy, and a commitment to endoscopic surveillance after successful eradication. Although the risk of dysplasia or cancer recurrence is low, it is increased when multifocal dysplasia is detected before and during treatment. Additionally, intestinal metaplasia recurrence is detected in one-third of successfully treated patients, and it can occur long after initial eradication was achieved. Therefore, endoscopic surveillance even after successful eradication is required.

Beethoven – Concerto for piano, violin, and cello in C major, op.56
Schumann – Symphony no.2 in C major, op.61
Baiba Skride (violin)
Daniel Müller-Schott (cello)
Lars Vogt (piano)
London Philharmonic Orchestra
Christoph Eschenbach (conductor)
Christoph Eschenbach is a
regular visitor to the London Philharmonic, but I think this was the first time
I caught them together. I certainly hope that it will not be the last, for it
is quite a while since I have heard the LPO on such good form. There was no nonsense
about scaling the orchestra down (fifteen firsts down to eight double basses
for the Schumann works); that cannot but have helped. But the dark,
convincingly German tone Eschenbach drew from the orchestra was just as
important, probably more so. Schumann's Bride
of Messina Overture made for an excellent opening, its introduction full of
tension, slow but quite the opposite of staid, as if on a coiled spring. The main
Allegro was properly tormented, the
prominent piccolo part reminiscent of Beethoven's use of the instrument. A
warmly lyrical clarinet second subject offered balm to the soul, though it was
soon undercut. This is the sort of piece – and performance – for which the word
'Romanticism' might have been intended, and it is a piece we should hear more

We're going... home
Nooku's little history
More than 7 years ago we set out to create Nooku, a multi-lingual extension for Joomla as a side project of Joomlatools. A year later we launched Nooku Framework to help developers create custom Joomla extensions.
In September 2012, and after 3 years of hard work Nooku Framework 1.0 was released with support for Joomla 1.5, 2.5 and 3.x. After the 1.0 release our focus shifted to Nooku Platform - a fork of Joomla 1.5 - which we build for the Belgian Police.
In the summer of 2014 we decided to go back to our Joomla roots. We started working on Nooku Framework 2.0. Support for Joomla 1.5 was dropped and the framework got a complete refactor to make the architecture even leaner. One year, 2500 commits, 2000+ man hours, and many cups of coffee later it was ready.
Joomlatools Developer Zone
After almost 7 years we are moving Nooku Framework back to Joomlatools, as Joomlatools Framework.
Two years ago we released developer.joomlatools.com. A dedicated area for Joomla developers with a set of free and open source Joomla development tools:
- Composer - Extension installer for Joomla
- Console - Command line interface for Joomla
- Vagrant - Preconfigured Vagrant box for Joomla
Follow us
Our social channels have been renamed:
Big kudos goes to everybody who helped to grow Nooku in the past 7 years. This is not the end, merely a new beginning.
Thank you!

Jim Weaver doesn't like to hang on too long after a show has opened.
As an actor, he knows what it feels like to have a director linger too long on a production. It can be unnerving.
When the curtain falls on opening night, Weaver bids the cast and crew farewell and moves on to his next project.
As important as it is to give guidance, he feels it's equally important to know when to let go.
"Once the director actually leaves, the pressure is off," Weaver says. "That, to me, is when the show takes on a life of its own, when the actors can really flow without having to worry about somebody looking over their shoulder."
That means by next week, after the Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe has opened its production of "A Raisin in the Sun," Weaver will be in Kent, Ohio, where he's currently choreographing "Ragtime" for the Stump Theatre at Kent State University.
The play marks Weaver's fourth WBTT show in six years — his second in the troupe's new downtown theater.
After enjoying a hot streak of infectious musical revues, the Lorraine Hansberry classic will be a dramatic change of pace for the theater company, which is now in its 12th season.
"My goal is to make it as real as possible," Weaver says of the play. "Even though an audience might know the play backwards and forwards, they'll still be able to get involved like they're hearing it for the first time."
He still remembers the first time he heard Hansberry's indelible dialogue in the 1973 musical, "Raisin," starring Joe Morton and Virginia Capers.
A native New Yorker, Weaver was 16 years old and already working as a professional actor when he watched the adaptation on Broadway.
"It had such an impact on me that I can still see the show in my mind today," Weaver says. "It's so well written and so well thought-out that even today it's juicy."
At 17, he landed his first Broadway role in the thriller, "Don't Call Back," at the Helen Hayes Theatre. Then a senior in high school, Weaver remembers having to ask for permission to get out of class to attend rehearsals.
The experience would lead to a long career in show business all over the world, bringing him to Sarasota for at least a dozen cabaret productions at Florida Studio Theatre.
At 54, Weaver says he's happy to be out of the spotlight for now.
"I think it's a natural evolution to move into directing and choreographing," Weaver says. "I enjoy seeing things come together, knowing you had a hand in each element. It's a different kind of satisfaction than when you're up there under the lights."
The first show he directed for the troupe was also a dramatic play rooted in race relations: "Fences" by August Wilson.
He's thrilled to be steering another WBTT production.
Weaver was working at FST when WBTT founder and Artistic Director Nate Jacobs approached him one night to see if he'd be interested in directing the Pulitzer Prize-winning drama.
"I was walking back from a show, and he was driving past me on the street," Weaver recalls. "He said, 'Hey Jim, I need to talk to you.' And that's how I got 'Fences.' That never happens in New York."
The title for "A Raisin in the Sun" was lifted from the Langston Hughes' poem "Harlem."
Lorraine Hansberry was the first black female playwright to open a show on Broadway.
In 1961, the film version of "A Raisin in The Sun" was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards, including Best Actor for Sidney Poitier.
"A Raisin in The Sun" runs Jan. 27 through Feb. 19, at the Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe. For more information, call 366-1505 or visit wbttsrq.org.

Lots of things happened in my life in the last ~2 months. But they've all been either too personal to post here or too insignificant relatively to the important things for me to want to take time to write them. I considered writing about the more personal things, but I decided against it. I think I might be about ready to pick up the stream of nonessential random tidbits again though... We'll see.
The December issues of Linux Journal includes a review of my smtp daemon in the "At the Forge" column. Reuven Lerner entirely gets it when he focuses most of the review on how easy it is to write plugins for qpsmtpd and how flexible that system is, that's exactly the point and by far the best reason to use qpsmtpd.
I was able to write a new, working plugin within a few hours of downloading qpsmtpd, despite the lack of good documentation, and I'm sure that many other readers will have similar experiences. The fact that qpsmtpd is written in Perl means you have fast, easy access to everything that a usual Perl program would, as well as any CPAN modules that could make development easier.
I have been using qpsmtpd for about a month, and the amount of spam in my mailbox has declined rather impressively, even from the low amount that SpamAssassin was letting through. If you run your own machine, I strongly encourage you to look at qpsmtpd. It is an excellent example of how to write software to take arbitrary plugins, and as a bonus, you will receive only the mail that you should receive.
I haven't taken time to tar up a new release since June, or even kept up with all the ideas and new plugins posted on the mailing list (mail email@example.com to subscribe). However Matt Sergeant has been making lots of improvements and applying patches. I'm very grateful for that; without him development would look entirely stagnated in the last months.
I started work on qpsmtpd a bit over two years ago just to have an easily hackable smtp server to use at perl.org. The first version was more or less just colobus changed to speak smtp instead of nntp. After using that for a while I got it built out to have an Apache like API system for writing modules, or plugins as I call them. That made it surprisingly easy even for people who had never done perl work before to hack up useful enhancements or test new spam fighting ideas. It's very amusing, interesting and satisfying to see a community grow and thrive around something you've built.

CEDIA Leadership Reveals Range of Home Systems Potential
The November annual SSI Residential Issue includes a roundtable Q&A of three members of the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association (CEDIA) Board of Directors: CEDIA Chairman Federico Bausone (Multimedia, Mexico City), Secretary Buzz Delano (Delano Associates, San Clemente, Calif.) and Treasurer Gordon van Zuiden (cyberManor, Los Gatos, Calif.). The range of the lengthy discussion exceeded the boundaries of the print piece, so below is an extension in which the three company principals address recurring revenue, competition, technology and more.
Could each of you speak about recurring revenue opportunities, specifically ones you're seeing good traction on in your businesses?
Gordon van Zuiden: Recurring revenue is something we look at all the time because of the Holy Grail of adding intrinsic value to a company continues to be somewhat elusive. But I think we have a greater chance of getting there than ever before, only because everything is connected to the network. Everything has communication of the state, the status, and condition on the network. When we get the audio and video on there, the sprinkler system, the thermostat, the cameras, and we know their state and status, and we can get online and reboot remotely, we can check lamp lights, we can check inkjet cartridge, we can check streaming, we can check packet loss. When we can do all those things effectively and accurately then I think we certainly have a service plan to offer our client. I think in 2014 we'll begin to see some of those things come out in fruition. I think you'll see more and more companies with network operation portals that we can leverage and charge our clients to add that value to their homes.
Federico Bausone: We're just starting as an industry with the whole recurring revenue model. We've seen some members use a digital concierge, others use a NOC [network operation center], others are "Let me get in and configure your iPod for you, your iPhone, and help you out," which should be simple but we are seeing a lot more of that. Eventually it's going to happen because this is something that the whole industry is talking about it. So we're working it out, but we're not the experts.
Buzz Delano: Think about it, while we're still going to be selling lots of system design and hardware, it's becoming much more of a services-based industry. Everything we've talked about, streaming and so forth, it's almost becoming an amenities business. Businesses like Gordon's and Federico's, when they're dealing directly with the homeowner they have to be experts in designing the right system for the customer's life experience or what they're looking for. But there's so many more things they can do on an ongoing basis, it's more service and amenities oriented.
For those specializing in security, what's the best way for them to work seamlessly with custom home electronic systems providers so the residential customer gets the best experience?
Van Zuiden: We've aligned ourselves with an [security] installer. We've worked with him for 10 years. I find with these subtrades, there's those that kind of are enlightened and they get it, and they understand where this direction is going; and there are those that say, "I can't handle this networking stuff, the Internet. I don't even want to know what an IP address is." Those people tend to kind of stay with what they've always done. I don't think it's going to last very long, but the top 10% of those various trades have younger people onboard, know that's the way it's going. They are starting to reach out to people in the CEDIA community and say, "All my customers are asking for this from an iPhone, and iPad, or Android, or Galaxy. And I need to get them there, so how do I get them there?" Then they come in and we talk to them and we establish a relationship in the way of who does what in the scope of work. It becomes very healthy. That's how it's worked for us.
How do you keep the customers from being annoyed from either having things become obsolete that may be permanently installed in their homes or having to upgrade software often?
Bausone: How often do you upgrade a system and what does that upgrade mean in terms of lifestyle? I think that's the key. If you're going to upgrade a system, whatever software you're using, and it's going to disrupt them, then the customer is going to be pissed off. Because of the system that's being interrupted. But if it's a seamless upgrade, if it's an iOS upgrade from one to the next, most of the time it doesn't really affect the rest of the integration of the house. That's what we do. How often we do it, at least in our experience, we try to do it when it really makes a difference to the customer. If it's something that will be of value, then do it. If not, we'll wait for the next update.
van Zuiden: It's technology we're talking about. That is the nature of the beast. People seem to buy a new cellphone every six months. The challenge, when we're forced to upgrade to iOS 7 or Windows 8 or whatever and it's a little different interface, it's something we used to have say, "Why did we go through that hassle; what benefit do we get?" In some cases, it's hard to answer, but you find if you don't upgrade things you used to do fall apart and decay. You can't even use them anymore, so you don't really have a choice. All the new advances are on the new platform. You try to make it as painless as possible for the clients. We're somewhat beneficial being here in Silicon Valley. We kind of know that's the treadmill we all bought off on, but if you're in other parts of the world maybe you're not too thrilled with it.
Please identify two or three of the biggest challenges you currently face in your businesses, and how you're dealing with or managing them.
Bausone: Our biggest challenge is to merge from an AV to an IT and to all the benefits this will bring. We've been around for a long time and this is changing and changing quickly. We are learning the network. But it's not something that came natural to us. This came afterwards. Except for Gordon, for everyone it's just embracing that and taking that as a competitive advantage for the next years; I think that's a big challenge we have as an industry in general.
van Zuiden: I would add what truly is a real challenge now is that we talk about the wonders of this mobile platform for control. So when you just look behind that a bit, you realize you're counting on a level of performance—the goal is to make it as reliable as the light switch that always goes on and off. It seems like every staff meeting, and Monday morning is our staff meeting, the discussion always focuses on the reliability of the communication between the mobile platform and the systems in the house; specifically the wireless reliability, the handshakes of wireless, the strength of wireless, the different standards in wireless; the control of it. We're not there yet for having a really seamless, robust mobile experience in the home. It was OK when you had a laptop roaming around and you were just surfing the Internet or doing E-mail. It worked pretty well for that. But home control requires a level of responsiveness and low latency. We're not quite there yet, with what we need to be in this space. That's a big challenge. There are a lot of products that are coming out or have been out that are offe
ring that. They've been available in the enterprise but I think at the residential level we're learning a lot of these things now, and trying to come up with the right solution in a difficult environment. Unlike the enterprise it's not 5,000 flat square feet with drop ceilings. Every home is different and every client is different. The devices don't have particularly strong cell receivers on them. That's a big challenge for us now, is creating a level of reliability of communication between these mobile devices and the systems they control.
What about your people? How do you get quality people and is training more challenging now than it used to be, or easier?
van Zuiden: We consider ourselves experts in a lot of things. So getting people to have expertise, we train at CEDIA, and I think we do a great job of it, but to really become a senior person in this field you need to know a lot about a lot of different things. Finding good, qualified, experienced people to cover the range of solutions that we offer is not easy. That is a challenge, finding qualified people.
Bausone: At least for us, it's like any other very specific industry. You can't just trace a NAD or just find the expert on everything we do. So we go from one section and then cross train him onto the other things that we do.
What about the competition, do you find it's more competitive as we're moving forward, or less so, or different competitors? What's the landscape looking like for you guys?
Bausone: In our case, since we started 25 years ago, there was no one, then more people, the more people, and the more success you have the more competitors you get. That's the nature of the beast. Right now in our area we have a lot of competition. How do you differentiate? Every single company has their own strategy to differentiate from their competitors, which is a good thing, because that means our industry is growing. I always used to say we'd love to have the home theater like a kitchen; every house has a kitchen. Just some homes had a home theater. Now most homes have a place where they gather together. So now there's more of a market, which means that there's more people that can supply that market. The same pretty much goes anywhere. If it's successful as an industry then you have more people going, and you have more demand.
van Zuiden: There's been more buzz at the consumer level now about the connected home space by far this year. Look at the public awareness of things like the success of Nest. You read all the venture capital columns in the morning paper and they're almost all talking about what they perceive as a tremendous growth in the connected-home space. That's far from a plug-and-play space, so it still requires a lot of expertise on our side. That makes it potentially healthy, but also you've got to be careful. Because we vet the best-of-breed products for our clients and we have always been the best at setting up the best projector, and the screen, and the receiver, and speaker quality, so we're really strong in that. Now we have to also be strong in vetting the best-in-breed of these various streaming devices, and networking gear, and thermostats, and pool control. We're trying to vet the best of breed in categories where we were not as familiar with. That represents a challenge and opportunity. But our new competition is probably like what I see at CEDIA, some of this new growth in the industry comes from the IT and networking space. We're finding that those people who know that well plus these other subsystems are good competitors. Those who don't know it well don't last very long. It always changes. There's not that much barrier to entry in this field. Anybody who runs down to Lowe's and picks stuff up, and puts it in their home, can hang up a shingle and say, "I can do this for you now."

Notebook Italia
recently posted a hands-on video showing off several features of Sony's S1 Android Honeycomb tablet. The S1 was announced in April — alongside the S2 — and is set for a fall release, but Sony hasn't provided many chances for press to check out the device first-hand. As the video shows, the S1 will be the first tablet to run Sony's PlayStation Suite software, an application that provides access to Sony PlayStaton certified games and content, such as the Green Hornet trailer spotted in the video. The S1 is powered by a 1GHz dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, which means you'll get a top notch gaming experience out of the box. It remains to be seen if Sony will offer NVIDIA's Tegra Zone gaming portal, too, but it will directly compete with the PlayStation Suite, so we doubt it. Hit the jump for the video.

Facebook reportedly wants $1 million for each video ad
The social network is asking advertisers to fork over $1 million or more for a single video ad, sources tell Ad Age.
Would you spend $1 million for a video ad on Facebook?
That's allegedly what the popular network is aiming to squeeze out of advertisers when it starts rolling out video ads sometime this summer, says a story today in Ad Age.
Citing information from one "executive briefed on the product," Ad Age reported that the video ads would carry a price tag upwards of $1 million, run for no longer than 15 seconds, and be scheduled so that no Facebook user sees more than three such ads per day.
Facebook has been chatting up ad agencies to interest them in the video ads and wants to sign up advertisers as the first open slots become available in June or July, three different executives briefed on the product told Ad Age.
Facebook hasn't ironed out the exact format of the ads. But they'd likely pop up in a dedicated video player and kick off automatically through autoplay. The ads would also call attention to themselves by expanding out of the main news feed and into the left and right columns, Ad Age said in December.
The company already displays video ads on the site's sidebar and news feed but they don't use autoplay and they don't expand into the outer columns.
The new video ads would first debut in the desktop flavor of Facebook and then segue to the mobile versions. Facebook is reportedly still trying to figure out how the ads would appear on a mobile device.
The social network is angling to sell four daily spots at this point.
Winning over that much business will certainly pose a challenge. These types of video ads represent new and untested waters, so advertisers may be shy about shelling out such big bucks initially.
Facebook's user base may large enough to justify high prices for ads -- more than 1 billion active users as of January. But how many of those people will actually tolerate a video ad that plays automatically, even if it's a short 15-second spot.
One of the executive sources told Ad Age that the high price tag and backlash from users are "likely to be a barrier to entry."
Facebook declined to comment on the video ads or the price tag to CNET as well as Ad Age.

HOPKINS, SAMUEL, HBC employee; fl. 1715–31.
In 1715 Hopkins was taken from Christ's Hospital, London, as an apprentice for seven years, and sent to Albany Factory to keep accounts; James Knight was instructed to "be very kind to him, and give him all the encouragemt." possible. Despite the London committee's complaints about his ornate handwriting, his wages were increased to £20 per annum in 1722. On 3 Oct. 1722 he deserted his post and went up the river with two Home Indians (Indians employed by the company), who had come down to Albany for winter credit. He spent the winter inland, but it is impossible to determine how far he penetrated. He returned to Albany on 1 May 1723 and was placed under house arrest by Governor Joseph Myatt. He broke arrest by scaling the wall on 17 May and tried to persuade some Indians to let him accompany them up the river. The Indians refused, and two men sent by Governor Myatt easily recaptured him. Hopkins was sent to England and appeared before the London committee whose members were no more impressed with his reasons for "eloping his employment" than Myatt had been. His wages were docked for the time he was absent.
The company re-employed him "out of charity" in 1724 and sent him to York Fort where he worked under Thomas McCliesh* who described him as "naturally honest" and "very obliging." Hopkins served first as steward and then, at a much increased salary, as book-keeper from 1727 to 1731, when he returned to England. He must have married while in England in 1723–24, for payments to his wife are recorded in December 1726. That neither Myatt nor the London committee seemed interested in Hopkins' experiences may demonstrate the company's lack of interest in inland exploration from Albany, or it may be evidence that Hopkins wintered not far from the port.

Additional support
ALA Public Information Office
The ALA Public Information Office (PIO),with input from ALA ORS and the ALA Public Library Association (PLA) Executive Director, will provide media and outreach support for the study. The PIO is the point of inquiry on ALA studies and messaging, and provides advocacy support for libraries. The PIO Director, Media Relations Manager and Media Relations Coordinator will develop a communications plan at the start of the program and will work with the media to disseminate study findings. The PIO's Advocacy staff and the Campaign for America's Libraries manager will coordinate study messaging.
ALA Office for Information Technology Policy
Study findings will be extremely helpful to the ALA Washington Office as they relate to informing key stakeholders about library funding and technology-related services. The ALA Office for Information Technology Policy Director and Internet Policy Specialist will be involved throughout the project to advise on the study questions and study findings messaging.
ALA Information Technology & Telecommunication Services
Technology support to this project is provided by two staff in the ALA Information Technology & Telecommunication Services department - a project manager and a Web developer.

Read below, as Michael DiSanto breaks down Saturday's UFC 120 main event between Michael Bisping and Yoshihiro Akiyama...
Fresh off a big win in his last bout, Michael Bisping will attempt to take one more giant step toward returning to middleweight title contention on Saturday night when he faces Asian superstar Yoshihiro Akiyama at the O2 Arena in London, England. The Brit knows that a win over Yoshihiro likely puts him back near the top of the division—a position he held two years ago before dropping two out of three fights.
Akiyama is still trying to figure out how to capture the same mixed martial arts superstardom that he enjoyed during his fighting run in Japan, where he racked up a 12-1 record, with his lone loss coming courtesy of a savage knee from a world-class heavyweight kickboxer. Two fights into his UFC career, he's 1-1, but the elite-level judoka could easily be 0-2 thanks to the razor-thin split decision he scored against Alan Belcher in his UFC debut. A decisive win over Bisping would erase the bad taste of his last two bouts.
Keep in mind, though, that the bad taste is only in the judoka's mouth. UFC President Dana White awarded Akiyama with a "Fight of the Night" bonus after both of his UFC bouts, making him the only fighter to win that award in consecutive bouts to begin his UFC career.
Bisping should prove to be a willing participant if Akiyama wants to continue his string of thrilling back-and-forth bouts. "The Count" may not be willing to go toe to toe with killer strikers like Wanderlei Silva, but I don't imagine him hesitating to plant his feet and swing away against Akiyama, despite the fact that such an approach to the fight isn't in Bisping's best interest.
Don't misinterpret those words. Bisping has the better standup skills by leaps and bounds. There is no doubt about that. But engaging in a firefight creates unnecessary risks for the former winner of The Ultimate Fighter because it opens the door for a takedown.
Akiyama's most dominant skill is his judo. And that is the only area of the fight where he enjoys any sort of significant advantage over Bisping. Watching the former gold medalist from the 2001 Asian Championships and 2002 Asian Games throw around Chris Leben erased any doubt in my mind about this guy's ability to transition his judo skills to mixed martial arts, and he needs to rely heavily on those skills if he wants to defeat Bisping.
Keep in mind that Chris Leben has excellent takedown defense after spending the first several years of his career as a member of Team Quest. That affiliation gave him the opportunity to train on a daily basis with some of the best wrestlers that the UFC has ever seen, including Greco Roman guys like Randy Couture. Leben never imagined that Akiyama would be able to take him down with any regularity, but that is precisely what happened when the skilled judoka got his hands on the star slugger. In fact, Akiyama was able to take him down basically whenever he wanted. His throws and trips are that good.
Bisping has a very good sprawl, but I would not rank him above Leben in terms of defending throws and trips. I'm sure the Brit has worked hard on that aspect of his game heading into this fight. But he hasn't spent years training with elite judoka or world class Greco guys, so it is unlikely that he is better than Leben at defending throws and trips from the clinch.
The key to avoiding those throws and trips is to control the distance with the jab and keep Akiyama off balance by using lots of lateral movement. Bisping has a very good jab. He snaps it with speed and accuracy, which is a key to staying on the outside. More importantly, Bisping is very good at stepping to his own left while snapping the jab. Lateral movement like that creates angles for Bisping to land a straight right hand, but the biggest benefit is the fact that Akiyama is left out of position to secure a clinch because he can only try to reach across his own center point in an attempt to corral the Brit with his right arm and otherwise chasing while his foe circles away from his lead arm.
Akiyama should counter Bisping's attack by circling to his own right, while angling forward, and firing his right hand. By doing that, he can effectively cut off Bisping's retreat and force the Brit to circle in the opposite direction and into Akiyama's lead left side. That will increase Akiyama's odds using his left arm to wrap up Bisping in a clinch.
If Bisping can avoid the takedown, he should win the fight. Keep in mind, of course, that anything can happen when two highly trained athletes begin exchanging punches with those tiny vale tudo gloves. Anyone can get knocked out at any time. But Bisping wins a kickboxing contest with Akiyama move than 90 percent of the time, in my opinion.
If the fight goes to the ground, Bisping should take a page out of the game plan that Josh Koscheck created for Andrew Main on the current season of The Ultimate Fighter. Main was told that if he found himself on his back that the only options were sweep, submit or stand up. Bisping needs to take those words to heart. Akiyama is a skilled judoka, but like most who transition into mixed martial arts from that sport, his ground game isn't designed to methodically hammer away on an opponent defending from his guard until a limb or neck presents itself for a submission. Instead, judo is a game of hand and body position that relies heavily on the use of the gi by the attacker. Strip a judoka of his gi and his submission game typically deteriorates, at least a bit.
Bisping has a very sound Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu base. He should be able to survive on his back. The problem, however, is that if he focuses solely on defending from his guard, he will lose points on the judges' cards for the time that he spends on his back. I am very confident in that statement. Thus, Bisping needs to be very proactive if he finds himself heading to the canvas. He should instantly look for a submission or sweep during the transition. If neither opportunity presents itself, then he should do whatever it takes to quickly rise back to his feet. Whether that means walking the cage, posting up with his arms or turning his back, it doesn't matter. Akiyama is not a slick MMA submission guy, so Bisping should take some chances to get back to his feet, where he has the overwhelming advantage.
If Bisping is able to keep his time on the mat to a minimum, he should win the fight. Again, anything can happen with two guys firing away with fists, knees, shins and elbows. But I like Bisping's chances in the standup realm. Akiyama's best chance at scoring an upset victory is to rely heavily on his judo to quickly transition the fight to the ground early in each round, and then rely on his overall ground prowess to keep the action there in order to grind out a victory.
Thus, this is another in a long line of classic examples of a fight that will likely be decided by which man is able to control where the fight unfolds. If I had to pick, I'd side with Bisping. He has proven to be exceedingly difficult to take down inside the Octagon. If he doesn't get cocky about his takedown defense, a la Leben, he should be able to keep the action standing and force Akiyama into a firefight, something that Akiyama loves but that plays right into the Brit's hands.
