Background: Intussusception, a rare adverse event associated with rotavirus vaccines in some settings, is a common cause of intestinal obstruction in infants and toddlers globally with a peak age of 4–6 months. This age group may overlap with the extended age of administering rotavirus vaccine.
Methods: A retrospective (January 2007 to June 2009) and prospective (July 2009 to June 2012) survey was conducted in 9 Zambian hospitals. Children between 0 and 24 months who were operated on for intestinal obstruction/intussusception were identified in theatre log books. In the latter part of the survey, patients were recruited prospectively. Demographic, clinical and surgical data from hospital files were collected for each patient.
Results: One-hundred and five children were identified to have undergone surgery for intussusceptions. Many were boys 57.6% (57/99). Of those with complete data, intussusception was common in infants 86.9% (86/99) and many children (68.0%) were between 3 and 8 months of age with a peak age of 5–6 months. Lusaka had the highest number of children with intussusception with an estimated annual incidence rate of 12/100,000 in children <2 years of age. The overall case fatality rate was very high 33.7% (31/92).
Conclusion: Intussusception was common in infants with a peak age of 5–6 months, and of particular concern is the group of 2–4 months the age of rotavirus vaccination. The estimated incidence rate of 12/100,000 is an underestimate as many cases may not present for care. The high case fatality rate of 33.7% is due to both delayed presentation and diagnosis in hospital.
Rotavirus is the most common cause of dehydrating diarrhea in infants and accounts for nearly 430,000 deaths annually1 with over 90% of these deaths occurring in the developing world.2–4 In Zambia, sentinel hospital-based rotavirus surveillance started in mid 2006, and rotavirus diarrhea accounts for 35% in the <5-year-old children admitted for acute gastroenteritis.5–7 Two oral, live-attenuated rotavirus vaccines, Rotarix and RotaTeq are prequalified by the World Health Organization (WHO) and are considered safe and effective in preventing severe dehydrating rotavirus diarrhea.3 In June 2009, the WHO Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization recommended the introduction of rotavirus vaccine in developing countries where the vaccine is most needed.8 It is anticipated that within about 1–2 years rotavirus vaccines will be readily available in most national immunization programs in sub-Saharan Africa apart from South Africa, which already introduced rotavirus vaccine, Rotarix, in 2009. In January 2012, the Zambian Ministry of Health with the Centers for Infectious Diseases in Zambia rolled out rotavirus vaccine in Lusaka as a pilot project.
An earlier licensed rotavirus vaccine, Rotashield, Wyeth Lederle Vaccines, that was only used in the United States was withdrawn because some recipients developed intussusception, a rare adverse event.9–14 Intussusception is a cause of intestinal obstruction in infants and toddlers with a peak incidence among children 4–6 months of age.15 This age group may overlap with the extended age of administering the vaccine. WHO recommends that rotavirus vaccine should be introduced into national immunization programs with the first dose given between 6 and 15 weeks.2 The maximum age for administering the last dose of either rotavirus vaccine should be 32 weeks,16 although WHO recently relaxed its age recommendations for rotavirus vaccine.17 Therefore, determining the baseline data on intussusception in children is essential before rotavirus vaccine is introduced in the national immunization program. Further, establishment of a postmarketing national surveillance system to monitor adverse events like intussusception is recommended.18
This retrospective and prospective study seeks to evaluate the background of intussusception in 9 Zambian hospitals before the rotavirus vaccine is introduced. This study will form a platform for continuous active surveillance of intussusception in children aged <2 years in hospitals before and after the introduction of rotavirus vaccine in Zambia.
Nine study sites were selected based on their capacity to do emergency pediatric surgery, 7 urban hospitals and 2 rural hospitals (Fig. 1). Zambia is sparsely populated with a population density of about 17 persons per square kilometer.
A retrospective survey was conducted in 9 Zambian Hospitals from January 2007 to June 2009. Children between 0 and 24 months operated on with a diagnosis of intestinal obstruction or intussusception were identified in theatre log books and medical files traced in wards/registry. From July 2009 to December 2011, all children presenting with intestinal obstruction with a diagnosis of intussusception were recruited prospectively into the study. Demographic, clinical and surgical data from hospital files were collected using a standard questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Epi info version 6.
To calculate intussusception incidence rates, the population of children <2 years was used for the particular district where the selected hospital is located as the denominator and the number of cases of intussusception as the numerator per 100,000. Projected populations of children below the age 0–2 years for every district or town were obtained from the 2010 Zambia census19 (Table 1).
There were 105 children identified with intussusception in the 9 selected hospitals (Table 1), 32 (35.1%) were identified retrospectively and 63 (64.9%) were identified prospectively (Table 2). The majority (67/105, 63.8%) were from Lusaka (Table 1). Of those with complete data, there were more boys with intussusception than girls (57/99, 57.0%). Intussusception was common in infants 86.5% (83/96) and many children (70.8%) were between 3 and 8 months of age with a peak age of 5–6 months (Table 3). There was no seasonality in distribution of intussusception (Table 2).
Of the 105 children identified with intussusception, 91 had information on diagnostic method. Of these 91 children, 50.5% (46/91) had plain abdominal radiographs with 41.8% (38/91) had exploratory laporatomy (Table 4). Abdominal ultrasound was rarely used as a diagnostic tool (7.7%). Most patients 56.3% (36/64) presented to hospital after 4 days of the onset of symptoms (Table 3). Almost all children (98/101, 97.0%) had surgical intervention for intussusception (Table 4) most likely due to late presentation. The case fatality rate (CFR) was very high 33.7% (31/92), (Table 4). The annualized intussusception rates ranged from 1.0 to 15.1 per 100,000 at Choma and Livingstone General Hospitals, respectively, although the absolute numbers were relatively small (Table 1). However, the estimated annual intussusception incidence rate of 12 per 100,000 (67/111,612 over 5 years) in Lusaka is probably an underestimate (Table 1).
This baseline survey of intussusception rates in Zambia shows that intussusception is common in children below the age of 1 year (86.4% of recorded cases). This proportion of cases among infants is slightly higher than that in an earlier study of intussusception in Zambia during the early 1980s, which found that 61.2% occurred in infants.20 However, this finding is consistent with the findings from other regions of the world such as in Thailand where 86% of intussusception in children <2 years of age occurs in infants.21 In South Africa, many children (89%) with intussusception were <2 years.22
Intussusception was most common in infants between 3 and 8 months (70.8%) with a peak at 5–6 months (36.5%). If rotavirus vaccine is administered on time at the recommended ages of 6 and 10 weeks (for Rotarix vaccine) and 6, 10 and 14 weeks (for RotaTeq vaccine), then children will be vaccinated when the risk of intussusception is low. However, children who present for vaccinations late will be vaccinated when the background risk of intussusception is high. This age group critically overlaps with the recommended age for administering rotavirus vaccine rotavirus vaccine.18 There are often delayed vaccinations in infants in sub-Saharan Africa and especially so in rural areas.23 Perhaps, the age restrictions for rotavirus vaccine if strictly followed might improve the vaccinations of infants at the recommended age.
There is no seasonality in the distribution of intussusception cases seen in this study in Zambia. Infants and toddlers with intussusception were evenly distributed throughout the year over the 5-year period. In Thailand, there is a trend of increased intussusception rates during winter season.20 Studies from the temperate climates show that intussusception incidence does not coincide with the increased incidence rates in rotavirus infections in winter.15 In Zambia, rotavirus is seen throughout the year with a slight peak during the cool dry season.5–7 As found elsewhere, the survey shows a higher proportion of boys to girls of 1.4:1.
The overall CFR (33.7%) is very high in Zambian children compared with South Africa (2%) as all the 9 sites in the latter were specialist units.22 In Zambia, there is only 1 pediatric specialist unit situated at the teaching hospital in Lusaka. This high CFR is most likely due to late presentation to hospital and also delayed diagnosis of intussusception in hospitals. A diagnosis of intussusception in infants who present with bloody diarrhea may be delayed because these infants are considered to have dysentery and are managed as such in accordance with the WHO Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses guidelines adopted by Zambia. Peripheral health centers strictly follow these guidelines and only when the condition worsens such infants are referred to hospitals. Organizing transport to take the children to hospital is time intensive as ambulance services are nonexistent and further increases the time to treatment. The situation is particularly grave in the rural health centers. Once a child arrives in hospital, there may be further delay in referral of suspected intussusception. Thus, by the time the infant is presented to surgeons, the patient is critically ill and the outcome of surgery is often unfavorable. Among those with complete data, almost all the patients diagnosed with intussusception underwent surgery (97.0%, 98/101) often due to late presentation to hospital. A major limitation of this survey is that the rate of intussusception is likely an underestimate as many children with this condition may die before they even reach the hospital. Of those who manage to reach the hospital, some will die before they are attended to by surgeons. In developed countries, mortality due to intussusception is rare.15
The annualized incidence rates of intussusception over 5 years ranges from 15.2 per 100,000 in Livingstone to 1.0 and 5.1 per 100,000 in smaller district hospitals. The relatively high incidence rate of intussusception (15.2 per 100,000) at Livingstone General Hospital may be an overestimate because this hospital serves as a referral centre for nearby districts so the population denominator for Livingstone District underestimates the catchment population for this hospital. The incidence rate (12.0 per 100,000) at the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, and the low rates in other district hospitals, ranging from 1.0 to 5.2 per 100,000, most likely reflect the differences in expertize and diagnostic facilities or differences in treatment seeking behavior and not necessarily a true difference in incidence. That is, children with intussusception in Lusaka presenting to the University Teaching Hospital may be more likely to be diagnosed as such compared with those presenting in other hospitals in the country. Alternatively, children with intussusception may be more likely to present for care in Lusaka than in some of the more rural districts. Thus, hospitals such as the Mine Hospitals in Chililabombwe and Chingola that have the expertize and facilities may have low incidence of intussusception because children with intussusception in the district do not seek care or are not referred from peripheral health centers.
There is paucity of published studies reporting the incidence rates of intussusception in infants and toddlers in Africa as most studies have been done in all ages or children <15 years.14 The estimated baseline incidence rate of intussusception in children <2 years in Lusaka is 12 per 100,000 children, which is really an underestimation. This is much lower than that reported in South Africa with the incidence of 32 per 100,000 in children <2 years.22 This rate is much lower than those cited in developed countries such as United Kingdom, The Netherlands and Australia, where the incidence rate range from about 66 to 120 per 100,00015 and lower in poor resource countries such as Venezuela, 24 per 100,00015 and Thailand 47.8 per 100,000.21 The incidence rates of intussusception reported in the developed countries are much higher than those in poor resource countries. This observation may be due to better health facilities and high levels of expertize in developed countries as almost all infants and young children with intussusception are investigated and that they also present earlier for medical attention. Therefore, our reported incidence rate of 12 per 100,000 in Lusaka is certainly an underestimate as not all infants and young children with intussusception are investigated and documented.
Our study has several limitations. First, in the retrospective part of the study, some files were not traced resulting in incomplete data on sex, age, diagnostic methods and outcomes for some cases. Second, we identified cases at hospitals that had the capacity to do emergency pediatric surgery. We missed cases among children who died in the community without presenting for care or who presented to other facilities and were not referred on to 1 of the study hospitals. Thus, the true incidence of intussusception in infants and young children is higher than that reported in our study.
Intussusception naturally occurs among infants and young children in Zambia and is most common in infants with a peak age of 5–6 months. The high CFR of 33.7% is due to both delayed presentation and delayed diagnosis in hospital. Delayed diagnosis was partly because of the similar symptoms and signs of intussusception in initial stages to dysentery, a common condition in Zambia. The incidence rate of intussusception in children <2 years in Lusaka, Zambia is estimated at 12 per 100,000. Active surveillance of intussusception in infants and young children is important for understanding trends in intussusception and should continue in these 9 participating hospitals in the baseline survey. This is particularly important as systems of surveillance for intussusception will be in place before rotavirus vaccine introduction in the national immunization program. Further, continued active surveillance for intussusception postrotavirus vaccine introduction will be crucial to monitor postmarketing surveillance of rotavirus vaccine safety.
We thank WHO/AFRO for funding this survey and the Ministry of Health, Zambia for allowing us to conduct the survey in the 9 hospitals. We further thank Prof. Mari Kirsten of Steve Biko Academic Hospital, Pretoria, Republic of South Africa for providing us with the questionnaire and her invaluable advice during the conduct of study and write up of the article.

I am pleased to announce that we have closed a $17M financing round as of last week. These funds will be used primarily to push the level of integration of our chips into the low thousands of qubits by the end of the year. In parallel with this central effort we will be working on running experiments on smaller systems to map out features of these systems important to their operation as quantum computers. Stay tuned, it's going to be an interesting year!

That is totally awesome to hear! I'm looking forward to more job openings, as I'm moving down there in a few months.
Does Jim Carrey act as a consultant for D-Wave?
Geordie,you start a new time.
picture searching, customer Disney, think about it.
Low thousands of qubits sounds like 2000-4000 qubits or an acceleration of two to four times over the previous 1024 qubits by the end of 2008.
2-5 months until the Q2 512 qubit machine.
9-11 months until a Q4 2000-4000 qubit machine.
That will be great to see.
Hopefully by 2009-2010 we can fill out that die and get up to 1 million qubits and transforming business and science.

B.J. Penn. Photo property of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
B.J. Penn will reportedly defend his UFC lightweight title against "Ultimate Fighter" winner Diego Sanchez in a bout that will likely headline UFC 105, which is slated to take place on November 14 in Manchester, England.
The news comes from UK-based Fighters Only Magazine, which reports that Sanchez has been offered the title shot but nothing is official at the moment. Both Penn and Sanchez expressed interest in facing each other in recent weeks.
UFC President Dana White stated that Sanchez would receive the next lightweight title shot following Penn's fourth-round submission of Kenny Florian at UFC 101 earlier this month. The win was Penn's fourth straight since returning to the UFC's lightweight division and his second straight title defense. Penn's first defense came against Sean Sherk, who he stopped via strikes at UFC 84 last May.
Despite posting an 8-2 record in the UFC's welterweight division, Sanchez opted to move down to lightweight where he has enjoyed immediate success. After dominating in a three-round affair against Joe Stevenson in February, Sanchez grinded out a hard-fought split decision over fellow lightweight contender Clay Guida in his most recent bout in June.
Additional bouts expected to take place at UFC 105 include a middleweight clash between Michael Bisping and Denis Kang, a welterweight bout pitting Dan Hardy against Dong Hyun Kim, and the first non-"TUF" fight for season nine winner James Wilks.

While atmospheric hazards have historically been the cause of the majority of fatalities in confined spaces, in more recent years, it appears that the safety hazards are taking over as the leading cause of confined space fatalities. Common safety hazards responsible for fatalities in confined spaces include explosions, engulfment by solids, drowning, entrapment, falls, and contact with electrical, mechanical and hydraulic energy sources.
Because confined spaces are not designed to be "occupied", they often contain exposed electrical and mechanical equipment that would normally be covered and guarded in occupied areas. In addition, the likelihood of contact with equipment and energy sources is increased since the work space is usually smaller and more confined.
Loose or liquid materials can engulf and trap a worker in seconds. A worker walking on top of finely divided solid materials such as grain can be drawn into these materials when there are unseen voids in the materials below. The sudden, rapid release of water or liquids into a confined space can lead to drowning.
Falls in confined spaces are a common factor leading to fatalities in confined spaces. Not only can workers die from injuries but in some cases workers who fall into liquids end up drowning in small quantities of water, sewage.
It is critical that all physical and safety hazards be identified and eliminated prior to confined space entry. All electrical, mechanical, hydraulic and other sources of energy must be de-energized prior to entry to the extent possible in accordance with OSHA's lockout/tagout standard 1910.147. Chemical or liquid lines must be drained, disconnected, isolated and blocked to ensure that there is no possible liquid flow into the area while a worker is in the space. Moving parts must be physically guarded to prevent injury.
There are numerous other hazards in confined spaces that, while less likely to cause a fatal injury, can significantly impact worker health and safety. These include temperature extremes, poor lighting, rodents, spiders, snakes and other critters. Noise can be a concern in confined spaces due to magnification and reverberation of tools and heavy machinery used within an enclosed space. Elevated noise levels not only impact worker's hearing but also mask gas monitor alarms and hinder communication with attendants.
Before entering a confined space, ALL hazards must be evaluated and eliminated to the extent possible. Those that absolutely cannot be eliminated must be controlled to provide a safe environment for entry.
NFPA is in the process of developing a Best Practices Document for Confined Space Entry. The document will include detailed information on how to evaluate and control safety hazards in confined spaces. You may wish to sign up for the alerts for the document that is being developed by going to www.nfpa.org/350 and clicking on the SIGN UP FOR EMAIL ALERTS link above the tabs. An email will be sent notifying you of any meetings or additions to the document information page related to the confined space document. If you have ideas for what should be included in this document or would like to be involved in document development please let us know! Task groups to develop draft chapters of the document are now being formed. If you have an interest or special expertise in a particular area let us know how to contact you!

Man arrested for pharmacy theft
An investigation into a Dec. 23 smash and grab at the Rutland Pharmacy on Maple Avenue ended in an arrest on Feb. 9.
David Flotte, 18, of 22 Central Tree Road, Rutland, was arrested by Detective Chris Giglio around 7 p.m. for breaking and entering at night and larceny from a building. Both are felony charges. He was arraigned in East Brookfield Court on Feb. 10.
The robbery occurred around 5 a.m., Det. Giglio said, and the smashed window was reported to the police at 8 a.m. "He took cigarettes, cigars — lots of them. Anything on the shelf that he could reach, he took."
Giglio said he had his eye on Flotte for several weeks. Flotte was arrested in Holden about two weeks ago for operating a motor vehicle in violation of a license restriction and driving without an inspection sticker, the officer said. Flotte had a Holden address then.
"At that time, I knew he had done the break-in, but we just waited to get some more information in," Giglio said.
Detective Troy Chauvin was serving Flotte with a restraining order on Feb. 9 on an unrelated matter and convinced him to come into the station to talk about the break-in, according to Giglio.
"Flotte just said, 'Yeah, that was me.' He told us it was during the ice storm, he was bored and some people dared him to do it," Giglio said.
Police had received a phone tip that Flotte was involved in the break-in.

Learn telekinesis … not only can you retrieve the ball without moving… but you can play all sorts of interesting tricks on your master.
Soooooooooo this is what dogs think about ! Our dashing- hound loves to play tug-of-war !
One of our dogs used to play fetch for one. He would drop his tennis ball down a flight of stairs, run to get it, then go back to the top and drop it again.
I can't see Chazz falling for any of those.
Fetching is a trait called ball drive. Dogs either have it or they don't. It's the basis for training military and law enforcement working dogs. Neither of our two dogs fetch. If we throw a ball or stick, they just follow the arc and look back at us, saying, "If you want that thing back, you need to go get it yourself."
: D Poncho wearing a falconry gauntlet… with a trained eagle… best picture ever!
And as I was curious enough to look up trained eagles, I learned that Poncho (with an eagle) would be called an austringer.
no we don't fetch in this house unless it was a weeney or biscuit
Sounds like my elder cocker spaniel, Diva. She wouldn't play with anything but she loved to dig holes in the garden.
Yeah…mine's the same. Playing tuggy tug is even worse. She looks at me like I'm trying to torture her. Bummer.
Heeheheee! Love this. Poncho needs to get on Letterman and read his top ten list.

Ousel Falls in Late Winter: Signs of spring
When Big Sky Resort closes for the winter season I feel like spring should immediately come upon us. This feeling comes from years of low-land living where April showers bring May flowers. Unfortunately that's not how weather systems work in the mountains. With multiple days of new snow since we've closed for skiing, I took to the trails to seek out the hope of spring. Ousel Falls is still significantly frozen when I took these photos about a week ago, but melting had begun. I looked to Ousel Falls, which is located just south of Big Sky's Town Center, for spring because if the falls are melting I know it can't be far away. With spring and summer comes camping, fishing, hiking, climbing, sun tanning (and sun burning), and long sunny days that bring happiness. I have many more hikes to take this summer, including Beehive Basin, Castle Rock, and Garnet Peak. I can't wait for spring and summer.
The 2-mile hike to the 100-foot Ousel Falls took me across multiple bridges and past beautiful Engelmann Spruce trees.
The mid-April afternoon I hiked Ousel Falls I only saw three tracks other than my own. After the first bridge I passed two women and a dog headed in the opposite direction, which meant I was hiking alone from there on in. Normally I hike with friends and bear spray, but this day was just me and the bear spray. This photo shows the other "falls" that can be seen along the hike.
Frozen Ousel Falls from the upper lookout.
Ousel Falls again from the upper lookout. At the coldest times during winter the entire South Fork of the West Fork of the Gallatin River in front of the falls is frozen. Ousel Falls was named for the Water Ouzel Bird, which can be seen throughout the Gallatin Valley.
A close up of the right side of the falls reveals that melting has begun. Although we continue to get snow in Big Sky into June (and sometimes later), it won't take long for the falls to completely melt.

SUPER BOWL® trademark post XI: Consumer Reports and the super-duper exemption
Originally posted 2012-01-30 15:50:19. Republished by Blog Post Promoter
Yes, it is that time of year again — the SUPER BOWL® trademark overreaching (dare I say bullying?) time of year. This January I'm focusing on this article from, of all places, Consumer Reports, which focuses on the BIG GAME non-trademark aspect of the NFL's X's and O's on this:
[I]f you've been searching the Web for an amazing Super Bowl deal on an HDTV only to find the pickings slimmer than a runway model after a three-day fast, we have another suggestion: Try substituting the term "Big Game" for "Super Bowl" in your search engine.
Get a bit more action? That's because retail ads and promotions can't legally use the phrase "Super Bowl"—or even "Super Sunday"—unless the companies have paid big bucks (really big bucks) to the NFL, which owns the trademarks to the two terms. Fortunately, exceptions are made for news organizations like Consumer Reports, or this article would have a different headline.
Good idea on the search strategy. But not quite sure I get that last line. Yes, they're right about the application of the fair use doctrine to news and commentary, but mistaken (and surprisingly, given Consumer Reports' supposed mission) in suggesting that non-profit organizations are per se entitled to assert the defense without regard to the nature of the use in question. They are not.
Non-profit use of a trademark is indeed a factor courts consider when analyzing fair use. Now, the fact is there is no way on earth this article (but wait, there's more!) constitutes a prima facie copyright or trademark infringement such that fair use would have to be asserted in an action by the NFL. But even if it did, there is no bright-line "exception for news organizations."
I sure hate to think that, laboring under such a misapprehension, Consumer Reports is actually refraining from giving accurate, descriptive names to its publications that happen to be someone's copyright or trademarks.
In fact, Consumer Reports' misunderstanding of the fair use doctrine is so profound, from how I understand it, anyway, that this next part is not too surprising, though it is pretty amusing (sorry, it just is) — and it clearly does not look at all like fair use!:
Find all of our Super Bowl coverage in one place on ConsumerReports.org: Super Bowl XLVI game plan helps you pick out the best TVs for watching the game, how to find those TVs, apps that'll augment your fun, the tastiest TV-watching treats, and lots more.
Really?! Maybe there is a super-duper blanket exception for Consumer Reports! We'll see.
I do like this from the piece:
But just as it's done in years past, regional retailer H.H. Gregg is once again pushing up against the NFL's Super Bowl advertising restrictions—this year with a website that sports a very Super Bowl-looking logo, complete with the words "Super Sale" and the Roman numerals "XLVI." I guess some retailers figure "Big Game" promotions call for some big-time gambles, and not just on the outcome of the game.
Perhaps other retailers will also adopt more creative end-arounds to help promote football-oriented TV sales without violating the NFL's trademarks. As we get closer to game day, let us know if you see any local ads that tie in to a "Big Game" promotion, or if you notice any especially creative ways a dealer is finding to promote "super" sales without getting flagged by the NFL for trademark encroachment.

Fallani and Cohn inks licenses
October 20, 2003-- Home Textiles Today,
Table linens and kitchen textiles supplier Fallani and Cohn has signed two licensing partnership, one with designer Pamela Scurry and one with Showoffs LLC, the master license for the Shag and American Vintage brands.
Ana Werbel, national sales manager, Fallani and Cohn, told HTT that the company will produce coordinating lines of table linens and kitchen textiles, all imported from Taiwan, China and India, as well as accent rugs that are made in Egypt, for each of the three new lines.
Soft launches for seasonal designs are slated for February. The official launch is scheduled for April.
Kitchen offerings include kitchen towels, pot holders, oven mitts, chair pads, decorative pillows and aprons. The table linens offerings include tablecloths, placemats, napkins, napkin rings and runners.
"We went to Fallani and Cohn because they have a very long history in the table linens industry of doing quality products. They have long experience working with licensed design, and their customers — specialty and department stores — are the right fit for us," said Robbie Sumberg, who with Joan Lieberman co-owns Westport, CT-based Showoffs LLC.
The three lines target specialty and department stores, with price points yet to be determined.
Fallani and Cohn's other licenses include Waverly, Royal Doulton and Woolrich. Showoffs also works with the Nick & Nora brand for home products.

Anyway, biiiiiiitch(es), aside from thinking how remarkable Jessie's teeth are for a meth addict and how accommodating his neighbours are, here are a few things about Breaking Bad that seem to distract me from the main story...
|Poster boy for Meth - don't do kids!
Marie's Love of Purple
I love purple, or rather I did, Watching Marie constantly wearing purple tops and later on in Series 4 seeing her kitchen and home punctuated with purple accents and electrical items, I'm rather off the colour now. Perhaps Marie was a big Prince fan, or as we know him as 'the purple pervert'.
Skylar and Marie's names
One has a hippy name, the other a biblical and traditional name - odd?
The Big Crochet Rug
OK, not watched the final series yet, but so far no-one has taken off the massive 'what the fuck size crochet needle did you use for that' blanket off the back of the sofa, much to my annoyance as I'd really like to have a better look at it. Seems I am not the only one who is affected by the rug - check out this website!
|The most famous afghan on TV
Not that it ever was on my bucket list of places to go to, but seeing how deserty and lack of all colour except desert orange it is, I'll think I'd just keep on driving to either Mexico or California should I ever find myself road tripping in the area.
How I wish everyone spoke Spanish Like Gus
Slow, concise and without any regional accent. I understand almost every word, and that's without reading the subtitles. If only folk spoke like that here...
The Song 'Windy' by the Association
Never heard it before or the band despite considering myself a big 60s music fan, t'husband downloaded the whole album after hearing it.
How Much?
I hadn't realised that real estate in Albuquerque was so eye-wateringly expensive, and this probably explains why Walter had to moonlight in the Car Wash in Season 1.

I have been out of the office for several days and just jumping into the

* Project IDEAL has a Handbook of Distance Learning as well other
resources available for download on our website (projectideal.org). The
handbook is designed to help agencies think about issues involved in
establishing distance education programs, including recruiting and
orientating students, teaching and assessment.
* Adulted Online has a free online self-assessment to help
teachers determine what skills they need to to develop to be effective
distance teachers (adultedonline.org). But it's not just a checklist.
There are short video-clips of a master distance teacher discussing the
ways in which distance and classroom teaching differing and offering
teaching strategies. The assessment provides feedback on areas of
strength and weakness and suggests resources for those seeking to
develop their skills.
As I clear off my desk a bit more I will try and pull together some
additional resources. Good luck with your efforts!

Nature's fabric
Wilderness Workshop has outdoor repair needs all sewn up
By Christopher Nyerges 11/12/2009
Who do you call when your camping gear needs fixing? When I needed all my gear repaired, I began calling around, and all trails led back to the Wilderness Workshop. And lo and behold, the Workshop — the place that everyone was telling me was the place to get my gear fixed — was just around the corner from my Highland Park home on Figueroa Street.
So I strolled down to the Wilderness Workshop with pack in hand, rang the clangy bell and pulled aside the gate to enter the yard and shop. I was met by two beautiful pit bulls and got to admire some mosaic sculpture as I walked to the door.
As I entered, I saw that here was someone seriously into the business of repairing outdoor gear. Stacked on shelves around every wall were sleeping bags, tarps, tents and packs. There were sewing machines on large work tables; at one, a worker sat fixing someone's sleeping bag.
Also busy at another sewing machine was the Workshop's proprietor, Janice Cooney. She stopped what she was doing, came over and examined my pack and told me it needed a new zipper and some stitching and to come back in a week.
Over the years, I returned to the Wilderness Workshop again and again to have my many packs, tents and sleeping bags repaired and laundered, and occasionally to buy items that had been abandoned.
More recently, Cooney moved her base of operations to the nearby Eagle Rock area. I paid a visit and chatted with her over a cup of coffee. I wanted to know how she got into this interesting line of work.
Getting started
Around 1982, a friend introduced her to a man who was starting an outdoor gear repair business in Culver City, and Cooney decided to invest in the venture, both financially and with her time.
"I've always been manually dextrous and creative," she explains, "so I was able to pick up the sewing end of things easily enough." Though she soon left that partnership, Cooney realized that she enjoyed doing repair work and starting working out of her Venice apartment.
"At first, this was tough. It was excruciating to try to run a business out of my small living room," she explains. "I had stuff all over my place!"
At about this time, Cooney began dating a man who introduced her to technical rock climbing. With her strong athletic background, she quickly became adept at it. Cooney feels that becoming acquainted with climbing gear made her an even better seamstress. "Since I was literally hanging out on my own work, I had to become more knowledgeable about how certain materials would handle stress loads, when they would fail, and so forth," she explains.
Cooney began placing ads in the Sierra Club newsletter and distributing cards and brochures to local backpacking and mountaineering shops. Eventually, the Workshop began to offer pick-up and delivery service to many of these same locations. In this way, Cooney built up her business and expanded with minimal advertising.
"For my first 17 years in business, I didn't even have a listed telephone number, and yet there was more work through word of mouth and servicing the stores than we could sometimes handle," Cooney recalls.
In 1990, Cooney moved her Workshop into a 1,000-square-foot building on North Figueroa in Highland Park, where she worked until early this year.
The Wilderness Workshop specializes in sewing repairs and maintenance services for outdoor gear and technical clothing, such as patching, zipper repair and replacement, alterations, modifications and restoration of down-filled items. Cooney's shop also offers laundry for down synthetics, as well as custom-design work.
Cooney also enjoys taking on the occasional unusual job. She has reupholstered World War II planes, fabricated movie props and built models of items en route to patent attorneys.
Over the years, Workshop clients have included the US Forest Service, the US Geological Survey, Caltech, the LA city fire department, LAPD and Sport Chalet, to name a few.
Cooney is also a freelance artist specializing in mosaic sculpture whose unique pieces adorn her shop and yard.
She can be reached at (323) 256-0723, or you can visit their fledgling Web site at Wildernessworkshop.net. n
Christopher Nyerges is the author of "Self-Sufficient Home," "How to Survive Anywhere" and other books. He is also the editor of Wilderness Way magazine, as well as a teacher and frequent lecturer on outdoor skills. He can be reached at PO Box 41834, Eagle Rock, CA., 90041, or ChristopherNyerges.com.

Gunneraceae is a family of flowering plants. Such a family has been recognized by most taxonomists.
The APG II system, of 2003, also recognizes this family and assigns it to the order Gunnerales in the clade core eudicots. The family then consists of one or two genera, Gunnera and, optionally, Myrothamnus. The latter may also be segregated as a separate family, Myrothamnaceae. This represents a change from the APG system, of 1998, which firmly recognized two separate families, unplaced as to order. The APG III system recognizes the family Gunneraceae and places Myrothamnus in the separate family Myrothamnaceae; both families are placed in the order Gunnerales in the core eudicots.[1]

This is a Perspective for the article "Comparing climate projections to observations up to 2011" by Rahmstorf et al., 2012, Environ. Res. Lett., 7, 044035.
Rahmstorf et al's conclusion that observed climate change is comparable to projections, and in some cases exceeds projections, allows further inferences if we can quantify changing climate forcings and compare those with projections. The largest climate forcing is caused by well-mixed long-lived greenhouse gases. Here we illustrate trends of these gases and their climate forcings, and we discuss implications. We focus on quantities that are accurately measured, and we include comparison with fixed scenarios, which helps reduce common misimpressions about how climate forcings are changing.

Fairfield County Juvenile and Probate Court Judge Steven O. Williams has announced his retirement after 18 years on the bench, effective Dec. 31.
Local Republican Party leaders will submit recommendations to Gov. John Kasich on who should succeed Williams, whose term expires in early 2015. The governor's appointee would have to run for election next year.
Williams, 61, of Lancaster, also has served as Lancaster Municipal Court judge, state senator, state representative and Lancaster City Council member.
In a written statement, Williams said he regretted departing before the end of his term, but felt he "must do so" because of changes in public pension laws that will reduce benefits for some retirees beginning next year.
Williams cited the creation of an alternative school for troubled juveniles and the first juvenile drug court in Ohio as among his accomplishments.

Re: WCW 2001- The Trio Ownership
World Championship Wrestling- Wednesday Nitro
The regular opening credits for WCW Wednesday Night rolls to open the show. Before a shot of the FedEx Forum is shown, a quick video plays, simply stating that WCW Wednesday Nitro will return to primetime, airing Wednesday nights on NBC from 9 to 11 PM. The video ends, the pyro goes off, and the cameras scroll throughout the FedEx Forum here in Memphis, Tennessee! After a few moments, we cut to commentary.
Tony Schiavone:
Hello ladies and gentleman, and welcome to another action-packed episode of Wednesday Nitro, straight out of Memphis, Tennessee, in the FedEx Forum! Im Tony Schiavone, alongside me, as always, my good friend, The Professor, Mike Tenay!
Mike Tenay:
Thank you, Tony, and just like you said, tonight will be an action-packed night! One of the great matches you will see tonight is some great tag team action! Chavo Guerrero Jr. will team up with Lance Storm to take on Guerreros opponent at Souled Out, the upcoming pay per view on the 26th of this month, Shane Helms, and Storms bitter enemy, Hugh Morris!
And in another tag team match, Sean OHaire and Chuck Palumbo will take on Totally Buff, Buff Bagwell and Lex Luger, in a rematch from two weeks ago!
Palumbo and OHaire made the challenge this week off-television, but Totally Buff have accepted the challenge! These two teams are going to lock up once again!
And although we dont have a main event scheduled so far, I think were about to get one because I know I hear it, and I know you hear it at home; the music of Eric Bischoff is playing throughout the arena!
Uncle Eric Declares Enemies
Back in Black indeed is playing throughout the FedEx Forum, bringing out the WCW President Eric Bischoff. Bischoff walks out to a mixture of cheers and jeers, although the cheers now greatly out power the jeers. Easy E is dressed up in a suit and tie, carrying a microphone in his right hand. Uncle Eric walks down the aisle and into the ring. Upon entering the ring, Bischoff has his music cut, and then starts to speak.
Eric Bischoff:
This is World Championship Wrestling Wednesday Nitro, and it is all brought to you, by me, the President of Operations, Eric Bischoff!
Bischoff gets some cheers, and a little bit of jeers. The cocky Bischoff still hasnt changed.
And even though I have been the WCW President since this company got back on its feet, I havent been throwing around my power. Ive been laid back. Ive been just sitting back, making matches, and having a good time. For once, Eric Bischoff had no enemies.
The Bisch pauses before continuing.
But you see, last week, all that changed. Last week, I was given all the incentive I needed to have an enemy! Make that three enemies! Last week, Jeff Jarrett, you and your raggedy bunch of friends tried to challenge my authority, and call out my decision. You had the audacity to call me an enemy. Well Jeff, I may not have been you enemy then, but I am now! And Mike Awesome, Im your enemy! Scott Steiner, I am most certainly your enemy! All three of you are now enemies of Uncle Eric, and The Bisch is here to make your lives living hells!
The crowd cheers on Bischoff, happy to see another person make a stand against the new heel faction.
For the past month, Ive let Big Poppa Pump run his mouth and insult me and my authority. Scotty, you dont like that I havent given you Booker T one-on-one, huh? Well, Scotty, I understand you want Booker T for the WCW World Heavyweight Title at Souled Out, and I realize that Booker T wants you just as bad. Well Steiner, Im not going to just give you Booker T at Souled Out. You lost at Slamboree if I am correct, so therefore, youre not the number one contender in my eyes. If you want to be the number one contender and face Booker T at Souled Out, then youre going to have to win a certain match tonight. And you know what match that is going to be, Big Poppa Pump? To face Booker T at Souled Out, you have to win your match tonight against Booker T!
The crowd erupts into cheers at the match. Schiavone starts hyping the shit out of the main event like its the end of the world. The fans continue to cheer the match just made by Bischoff.
Oh, you guys like that, huh? You like that match? Ill give you something better! You boys want a war!? Ill give you one! Next week, since Mike Awesome likes putting people through tables so much, Im going to give Mike Awesome that chance again; next week on Nitro, Mike Awesome will take on Booker T in a tables match!
The fans break out into more cheers at the nice little gimmick match made by Bisch for next week. Eric isnt done yet, though.
Hey, who the hell said I was ever finished!? Im Eric Bischoff! Im the President of WCW! I got the power! So next week, Jeff Jarrett, youre going to be going one-on-one with The Nature Boy, Ric Flair!
The crowd absolutely explodes! The ovation the crowd made for the Flair/Jarrett match over powers the sum of the reaction of both matches made earlier by Eric Bischoff.
Jeff Jarrett, Mike Awesome, and Scott Steiner, you boys want a war!? Well, youre going to get one! Because The Bisch, is back!
Back in Black hits the sound system once again, and Bischoff walks to the backstage as the cameras cut to commentary.
Segment Rating:
The Bisch is back indeed!
Eric Bischoff is not a man who is going to be intimidated by anyone. Jarrett, Steiner, and Awesome tried to intimidate Eric Bischoff, and now, the man with all the power is out to make their lives a living hell!
Well he seems to be on his way to doing that because he just booked Mike Awesome versus Booker T in a tables match!
And in a huge main event for tonight, Scott Steiner will face Booker T, and if Big Poppa Pump wins, he faces Steiner at Souled Out for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.
And then, next week, a huge main event; Ric Flair vs. Jeff Jarrett! Professor, that is going to be one of the biggest matches in Nitro history! You throw in Booker T versus Mike Awesome in the tables match, plus everything else, were looking at quite possibly the greatest Wednesday Nitro ever!
No shit, Schiavone. The companys only had 5 including this one so far, ya damn dip shit.
Indeed it will, Tony. But ladies and gentleman, it is time for our first commercial break, but coming up after the break, Chuck Palumbo and Sean OHaire take on Totally Buff!
Chuck Palumbo & Sean OHaire vs. Totally Buff (w/Miss Elizabeth)
So its now the moment of truth for Chuck Palumbo and Sean OHaire. Are they going to become complete and total fodder by jobbing to Totally Buff again, or will they get their redemption and pick up the win? If you said the former, then well, not happening tonight. Palumbo and OHaire pick up the win in this one after about four minutes of action. Totally Buff are totally off tonight, selling less to Palumbo and OHaire than they do in any other matches of theirs. After a back and forth match, the young guns got the advantage after Chuck Palumbo dodged a Luger clothesline, and hit the Jungle Kick. Luger practically no-sells, but Palumbo realizes its Luger, you cant change him. The young guns double team Bagwell, putting him down with a combined gut wrench power bomb. Wirth Luger and Bagwell down, well, kind of down, OHaire ascended to the top turnbuckle and finished Buff off with the Seanton Bomb for the victory.
Chuck Palumbo & Sean OHaire def. Totally Buff at 4:08
(OHaire pins Bagwell)
Star Rating:
Chuck Palumbo and Sean OHaire get a much needed win tonight over Totally Buff. Palumbo and OHaire have been on a slump since losing the Tag Titles to KroniK at Slamboree.
Losing two matches in a row is now a slump?
These two teams have met in the ring twice now, and each share a victory now over another. Lets see if these two will meet up again in the future and find out who will win the next contest.
Well hopefully these two teams will meet up again and see who is best, but right now, were going to send things backstage to Mean Gene Okerlund, who is standing backstage with Lance Storm.
Canada vs. USA- Part Deux
Gene Okerlund is standing backstage with Lance Storm, who is already in his wrestling gear. Storm has a tag team match later on in the night. Okerlund seems a bit perplexed.
Gene Okerlund:
Hello ladies and gentleman, Im Mean, Gene Okerlund, and Im currently standing by Lance-
Lance cuts off Okerlund.
Lance Storm:
Excuse me, Gene. Next time you filthy American announce my presence, you will state that I am also the first, only, and current reigning Canadian National Champion!
Err, yes. Im here standing by the first, only, and current reigning Canadian National Champion, Lance Storm! Lance, you were not scheduled for this interview, and you have called for it very suddenly. Why the need for an interview?
I am a champion in this discriminatory company! I should be able to have an interview whenever I see fit. However, if I could be serious for a moment, I do have an announcement to make. I was just with Eric Bischoff, and it appears that Eric has booked me in a match against Hugh Morris for the upcoming pay per view, Souled Out. However, Mr. Bischoff has not told me if my title will be on the line at Souled Out, or anything else except for the fact that I shall face the pig that symbolizes what is America. Hugh Morris is a fat slob, who has no respect for anyone else because he is your typical ignorant, stubborn, American.
Lance pauses, swallowing spit in his throat. Mean Gene looks disgusted from Storms words.
But as I was saying, Gene. At Souled Out, the greatest wrestler in WCW, Lance Storm, will face off with the most overrated wrestler in WCW, Hugh Morris, in a match. Next week, Eric Bischoff has promised me he will announce some special stipulation to the match for Souled Out on-air to all of these pathetic American fans.
Lance Storms promo is interrupted by the appearance of
Chavo Guerrero Jr.
Chavo walks up to Lance, dressed in his wrestling gear.
Chavo Guerrero Jr.:
Hey, essé! You ready for our match agains Helms n Morris, holmes?
Im an excellent wrestler, the best one here in this company. I am always ready to go out and out-wrestle my opponents to victory.
Well ight then essé! Our match is up next yo, so lets go do this thing!
Chavo and Lance walk off-screen, heading towards the curtain to go on stage
Well ladies and gentleman, youve heard it from Chavo, Chavo Guerrero Jr. and Lance Storm versus Hugh Morris and Shane Helms is up next!
Segment Rating:
Chavo Guerrero Jr. & Lance Storm vs. Hugh Morris & Shane Helms
Three out of the four wrestlers in this match are the new era of the workhorses in WCW, making this match quite a good one. Chavo and Lance dominate for most of the match, working over Shane Helms, keeping Helms on the mat, trying to use their ground advantage over the cruiserweight champion. However, Helms made a hot tag to Hugh Morris, who ended up cleaning house on both of the heels. Hugh was about to finish off Chavo with the No Laughing Matter, but Storm crotched Morris on the top turnbuckle. Thankfully for Hugh, he was in his own corner, and Helms tagged himself in. Helms made short work of Lance Storm, tossing him over the top rope after connecting with several punches. Helms shifted his attention towards Chavo, while Hugh Morris got to his feet. Hugh, enraged by Storms cheap shot, gets out of the ring and proceeds to brawl with Lance Storm. The two men brawl throughout the arena, leaving Chavo and Shane in the ring alone. Helms almost finished the match off with a Vertebreaker, but Chavo rolled himself along Helms back, escaping the move. From there, Chavo connected with a quick kick from the behind straight to the groin, but referee Scott Dickenson was not in an angle to see the move. Chavo rolled through backwards, ending up on top of Helms for the pin, and the victory!

Star Rating:
** (82, 77, 88)
Chavo Guerrero cheated again! In his second match in a row, Chavo Guerrero cheated to win!
Hes a Guerrero, Tony, they lie, they cheat, they steal. Chavo is just living life and wrestling like his father Chavo Sr., and his grandfather, the great, legendary, late Gory Guerrero. And if Chavo keeps the success hes been having, he has a great chance of becoming the WCW Cruiserweight Champion at Souled Out.
And what about Lance Storm and Hugh Morris? These two will face another at Souled Out! Theyve been at each others throats for months, and at Souled Out, theyre going to get the chance to beat the heck out of one another!
But we dont know what kind of match it will be! Eric Bischoff informed Lance Storm that match is made for Souled Out, but wont tell us the stipulation until next week on Nitro!
Well ladies and gentleman, we have to take a commercial break, but stay tuned because there is still a lot more to happen tonight on Wednesday Nitro, right here on NBC!
Whos The Real Ripper?
When Wednesday Nitro returns, Jeff Jarrett is making his entrance to the ring. Double J is already at the side of the ring, wielding his trusty acoustic guitar. Jeff is alone, and dressed in jeans and a Slap Nuts t-shirt. The Chosen One has a mic in hand, and gets into the ring. The fans as always, our reigning down boos at Jarrett. His music cuts, and Jarrett begins to speak.
Jeff Jarrett:
So slap nuts, it seems like Jeff Jarrett will be kicking Ric Flairs ass next week on Wednesday Nitro!
The crowd immediately cuts off Jeff, booing him.
Boo me all you want; Ill kick his ass just like I did at Slamboree!
More boos for Double J.
Naitch, you got lucky at Slamboree when you got that fluke upset. You somehow got a roll-up, and you got a lucky fast count; you beat me. Woo-hoo, go celebrate like its the biggest thing ever. Oh wait, you never got the time to, did you? I kicked your ass some more right after the match!
Jarrett pauses; the crowd boos him a bit more, although they are quieter this time around.
Flair, youre old, and youre weak. The only way you survived this past month is because youve had Booker T by your side with Arn Anderson. But next week, you got me, one-on-one. You have no sucka to help you out. It will simply be you and me, one-on-one. And Flair, I guarantee you this, I will show the world that you are nothing. Youve become the star you are today by stealing the work of others. Youre a rip-off of the real stars like Buddy Rogers. Youre not the Nature Boy, Ric. Youre a failed remake of the real Nature Boy, Buddy Rogers. Ric Flair, your legacy was started by other wrestlers, and next week, slappy, your legacy is going to be destroyed by another wrestler! Next week, I am going to destroy you, and your two-cent legacy!
The crowd rips into Jarrett with boos after that segment of his promo. Jarrett is getting over with the fans more and more now because of this feud with Flair.
Now choke on that, slap nuts!
The fans continue to boo, but all of a sudden, Sprach Zarathustra hits the sound system, brining out
Ric Flair
Arn Anderson
! The crowd is going bonkers! Flair and Anderson come out onto the entrance stage, dressed in their best suits. Flair has a microphone while Anderson stands next to Flair, staring down Jarrett, his arms crossed.
Ric Flair:
WOOO! Once again, the Chosen One is running his mouth about The Nature Boy, Ric Flair! Jeff Jarrett, next week, we get to face each other in the ring, one-on-one, once again, huh? Well Jeff, just like at Slamboree, Im going to pin your shoulders to the mat, one-two-three, and be the victor once again. WOOO!
The crowd breaks out into cheers for Flair.
Jeff, you can talk a lot of smack, and you know what, you can even back it up at times. Youre one hell of a wrestler, Jeff, but this time, you entered a battle you cannot win. You entered a battle with the best professional wrestler ever! WOOO! Ric, WOOO, Flair, WOOO!
The crowd breaks out into cheers once again.
And Jeff, maybe I am a complete and total fake. Maybe I got all of my success because of others. But what about you, Jeff? You stole material off of others too, Honky Tonk. Swinging guitars around at people! If I remember correctly, good ole Double J wanted to be a country singer up north, but really, Im shocked he wasnt trying to be more like Elvis Presley and the Honky Tonk Man. When you first came to WCW, I half expected you to start singing Hound Dog!
The crowd bursts out into laughter, while Jarrett looks on enraged and embarrassed.
And hey, maybe the great Buddy Rogers did invent the Figure 4 that I use today, but hey, Honky Tonk, if I remember correctly, you use a Figure 4 too! You like to try and act like the dirtiest player in the game too, Jeff, but as you know, the slot has already been filled up by the Nature Boy, Ric Flair! WOOO!
More cheers for Flair.
I think I know what your deal is, Jeff. Yeah, Jeff, Ive figured you out.
Flair pauses, but then starts screaming into the microphone.
You want to be Ric Flair! You want to be the Nature Boy! You want my success! You want my glory! Well son, I earned my legacy, and no two-bit, arrogant, conceited, daddys little boy, son of a bitch can just take that away! Jeff Jarrett, you cant take anything of mine, and you cant be me! Because there is only, WOOO, one Nature Boy, and that is Ric, WOOO, Flair! WOOO!
The fans continue to break out into cheers for Flair.
You want to be the man, Jeff; you know the saying. To be the, WOOO, man, youve got to, WOOO, beat the man! And Jeff, you cannot beat me! You lost at Slamboree, and next week, you will, lose again! WOOO!
Sprach Zarathustra hits the sound system in the FedEx Forum once again, and Flair and Anderson head to the backstage. Jeff Jarrett watches them leave, looking pissed and embarrassed, knowing Flair got the better of him in the promo.
Segment Rating:
Tony, it looks like Ric Flair has had enough of Jeff Jarrett! He just came out and stole all of the Chosen Ones thunder with that speech.
Well Ric Flair is right, there is only one Nature Boy, and that is him. Jeff Jarrett can be the Chosen One all he wants, but he cannot be Ric Flair. He cannot be the Nature Boy.
But he can try and maim Ric Flair next week in their match on Wednesday Nitro!
Well there is only one way to find out, and that will be by watching next week! However ladies and gentleman, we have to take a commercial break, but dont go away because up next, the main event! Booker T versus Scott Steiner!
Booker T vs. Scott Steiner (w/Midajah)
So main event time, ladies and gentleman; Scott Steiner has to beat Booker T to get a World Heavyweight title shot at Souled Out. Nifty! The crowd was red-hot for the match itself, but the quality of the match did not match up with the crowds reaction. Booker T and Steiner brawled throughout the ring and ringside area for all six minutes of the match, just trying to simply beat the crap out of one another. Booker T almost got the victory midway into the match when he was about to hit Steiner with the Harlem Axe Kick, but Steiner countered, landing an elbow to the gut, followed by an overhead belly-to-belly suplex. Steiner went on the offensive for almost the rest of the match, wearing down the World Heavyweight Champion. Steiner scored several near falls with his multitude of suplexes.
Booker T ended up fighting back as always, and scored a Harlem Side Kick, sending Steiner to the outside. While outside, Midajah handed Big Poppa Pump his
lead pipe
. Midajah quickly ran to the other side of the ring, got up on the apron, and began distracting referee Randy Anderson. During the distraction, Booker T leaned his body between the second and third rope, trying to get a hold of Steiner. Booker leaned his head out to far, and got decked in the head with the pipe! Booker T fell back onto the canvas, knocked out. Big Poppa Pump then proceeded to get into the ring, and apply the Steiner Recliner. Booker was KOed, but Anderson had no idea, and thought he was choked out, giving the win to Scott Steiner. Because of the victory, Big Poppa Pump will face Booker T at Souled Out for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.
Scott Steiner def. Booker T at 6:22
Star Rating:
* ½ (82, 89, 69
Booker T was just screwed over, Professor! This is an outrage, a scandal!
Big Poppa Pump, Scott Steiner cheated his way to victory once again, and this time, it gives him Booker T at Souled Out for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship!
And Im thinking that next week, there will be hell to pay for Big Poppa Pump!
If Booker T can survive the tables match against Mike Awesome! Dont forget ladies and gentleman, next week on Nitro, Booker T and Mike Awesome face off in a tables match, and we get a Slamboree rematch, Jeff Jarrett versus Ric Flair!
It is without a doubt, going to be the best WCW Wednesday Nitro ever! But that is all for tonight ladies and gentleman, thank you for tuning in. Until next week, for Mike Tenay, Im Tony Schiavone, see you all next week on Nitro!
