Small Consolation
|In Shangri-La, use the 31-79 JGb215 on each type of zombie.
This gun can only be purchased out of the mystery box and it will cost you 950 points. Their are 4 types of zombies that you have to kill with this gun. The four types of zombies are normal zombies, shrieker zombies, napalm zombies, and monkey zombies. Each type of zombie will go down in one hit with this gun. After you shrink them you have to run up to the zombies and kick them. You just need to walk over them and you will kick them. The zombie monkeys will be on the stairs to the pack-a-punch machine, if you can't find any.

I have to ask?? why are people saying " OMG another shitty gun" I take it the VR 11 is hated?? i find it funny how most people don't know what it can do?
1) turns a zombie into a normal human "FLESH bait"
2) can cool George down
3) used on another player- that player become Invincible for 60secs.
|Comment #20 by TheStifflerXIII
Tuesday, June 28, 2011 @ 07:21:58 AM
fairly self-explanatory achievement. I have already recieved it.
Just get the new weapon and kill one of each of the new zombies.
they are:
the female zombie
the male zombie
the zombie w/the gas mask
a non-stationary zombie monkey
the new screecher zombie that comes every few round or so
and the napalm zombie that comes every few rounds or so as well
after that the cheevo should pop
ps: the weapon does turn the zombies in babie zombie that,
YOU not your team members HAVE to kick to kill.

|Comment #29 by Insane Gamer47
Tuesday, June 28, 2011 @ 05:06:47 PM
For "Stuntman" just shoot a zombie/human with the upgraded VR-11 3 times and "shooting on location" just upgrade the Scavenger, horde the zombies in the bottom of the lighthouse and when you feel you have enough, go up through the lighthouse, through the cave and back to the wooden bridge at spawn, the second you see a zombie in the cave, shoot.

If anyone is having trouble with this achievement then listen up. To get this
achievement you must use the JGb215 on any normal zombie, a napalm zombie,
a shrieker zombie, and importantly a monkey that is ATTACKING you. It cant be a
monkey that is just sitting around, it must be chasing you. Hope this helped.

Thursday, June 30, 2011 @ 08:58:41 AM
i finally got this achievements on solo 5mins ago, lasted out until round 3 wit jus a pistol, and 1st try on box by luck got the shrink gun. shrunk every zombie i saw jus to make sure i hit every kind.by 5 got a napalm zombie then held out until round 6 like i said luck was on my side and the 1st zombie to appear was a shreiker, shrunk him and kicked him. cheevo obtained. i feel gettin the shrink ray early on in the game was easier cuz all zombie by then were quite slow and easy to shrink without getting caught up dual pistols helped alot...this is my advice get it early if u can, as napalm and shrieker zombies pop up usually afta round 4. All i need now for this dlc pack is the focusing stone cheevo...GOOD LUCK ALL.

Day 3: Still on Track!
Wednesday, May 02, 2012
I was SO busy at work yesterday, I forgot to make a blog entry!
I'm doing AWESOME today! Yesterday was a good day... First of all, all my produce is 100% organic. It tastes great, and I LOVE cooking with it. Before I had my wake up call, I was eating fast food on a regular basis. Always tired from a long day at work, and very hungry, looking for a convenient way to satisfy my appetite, so I wouldn't have to cook dinner. But now I'm not making any excuses for my eating habits. I've been making my lunch (rather than picking up fast food on my breaks), and cooking dinner for my family. Not that I didn't cook before, I'm just making it a habit to do it every single night. I've completely cut fast food out of my life. And because I cut it out, I have more energy and a better attitude. It's really helping me with my depression.
Yesterday I had oatmeal w/ strawberries & flax seed for breakfast, a salad w/ mushrooms & ham, string cheese & granola for a snack, and stir fry for dinner w/ brown rice, spinach, swiss chard, celery, mushrooms, ham, and garlic (ALL FRESH!).
Today I had a nectarine for breakfast, and then I'll have my usual salad and snacks. Not sure what I'm doing for dinner yet, but by golly it will be a healthy and tasty one!
BTW, You'll notice I've been using ham in everything. It's because I cooked a big ham over the weekend, just so you didn't think ham is a big part of my diet :)

Thanks friend! I really like swiss chard. The taste is difficult to describe, but I usually saute it with sesame seed oil, sea salt, ground pepper, fresh garlic and onions...Yummy!

Way to go Janee! I can hear the attitude change through your blogs and your texts. I am so happy for you, and so proud that you're doing it! YAY for no fast food! That is awesome. Cooking for your family is not only healthy, but I believe it will bring you all closer, and Natali can help you cook and learn how to cook instead of eating out all the time. It sounds like you made great choices when you bought groceries this past weekend! How was the swiss chard? I've never had it, but I've seen it in recipes. You'll notice a difference in your body in no time! You're doing great, keep it up sista'!

At least two hurt when Oklahoma trooper pursuit ends in crash
At least two motorists were hurt Monday evening when a man fleeing Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers crashed into their vehicle, authorities said.
The motorists were ejected from their vehicle, trooper Betsy Randolph said. Their conditions and the number of people in the vehicle were not available late Monday.
About 7 p.m., a vehicle heading west on the Turner Turnpike hit another vehicle and kept driving. A witness alerted troopers to the accident and followed the fleeing driver. When he exited the turnpike at Bryant Avenue, a trooper attempted to stop the driver, but he fled and crashed into another vehicle, Randolph said.
The fleeing driver was pinned in the car for a short time after the crash, she said.
Nobody was hurt in the vehicle involved in the initial collision.

Review of James White: MAX WIGRAM GALLERY, by Katherine Holmgren for Frieze Magazine
Framed by shell-shock markets and shock-value artists, James WhiteŌĆÖs new show at Max Wigram - his third at the gallery - offers a staid anomaly: a scrupulously constructed picture of the unremarkable. Nothing particularly innovative or surprising jumps out here. WhiteŌĆÖs brand of photorealism is meticulous though hardly groundbreaking, when placed against such recent reappraisals as last yearŌĆÖs ŌĆśThe Painting of Modern LifeŌĆÖ at the Hayward Gallery. WhiteŌĆÖs focus on banal subjects treads a well-worn path, as does his emphasis on formalist concerns. Yet in its very blas├® character, WhiteŌĆÖs paintings manage to strike a chord.
The exhibition comprises two new series: ŌĆśThe Rough with the SmoothŌĆÖ (2008) and ŌĆśRelationshipsŌĆÖ (2006-8). In both, White chooses unheroic objects for subject matter - sinks, aeroplane trays, chocolate bars - which he paints onto plywood sheets and places in Perspex vitrines. Presented in this way, the imagesŌĆÖ identity becomes increasingly slippery. The glossy Perspex emulates photographyŌĆÖs smooth yet intangible picture plane, while the monochrome palette accentuates the sculptural side of WhiteŌĆÖs resolutely domestic subjects. Glimpses of brushwork emerge upon closer examination, only heightening this confusion over medium. Suddenly, hooked by formalist concerns, we find ourselves fascinated by the daily sights that usually fail to snag the eye.
In Broken (2008), a shattered wine glass has a statuesque beauty, offset by its lack of psychological or emotional significance. Likewise, in DadŌĆÖs Deck (2008), the reflective cover of a record player generates flat expanses and volumes that contain a purely formal appeal. If it is said that photographs have no ŌĆśsurfaceŌĆÖ, here, as the seriesŌĆÖ titles suggest, images are all about surfaces, textures and formal relationships.
In Twix (2008), a stained white table with its cheap chocolate and radio has a clich├®d air. We have seen this average scene too many times for it to produce even a spark of interest. Yet in this lies a certain appeal: as a record of our societyŌĆÖs profoundly blas├® attitude - towards art as much as the objects we encounter on a daily basis - WhiteŌĆÖs image achieves an eerie poignancy.

Review of James WhiteŌĆÖs exhibition at the Max Wigram Gallery by artdaily.org
LONDON.- Max Wigram Gallery presents an exhibition of new paintings by James White. The works continue WhiteŌĆÖs archiving of the minutiae of modern life. His black and white oil paintings on plywood panels are composed from the snapshots the artist takes of the objects that surround him.
Like the cinematic ŌĆścutaway shotŌĆÖ, WhiteŌĆÖs images are deliberately emptied of any dramatic content of their own; our focus momentarily rests on an intimate group of objects that silently resonate within a grander scheme. In refusing to acknowledge a wider visual world, WhiteŌĆÖs exacting gaze suggests an external narrative in much the same way that the simple image of a drinking glass might when scrutinized within the context of a crime scene photograph.
Rather than merely celebrating the inherent beauty of the banal, WhiteŌĆÖs paintings are iconic, subtle reflections on the quotidian. Despite the sense of intimacy within the work, the artist equally distances the viewer from the scenes he represents. This detachment is intensified by the characteristic absence of colour and the presentation of the paintings encapsulated in Perspex box-like frames.
The paintings in the show derive from photographs taken mainly in hotel rooms and the artistŌĆÖs studio. Both locations exacerbate the sense of isolation and quiet respite from the day to day. ŌĆÖ2.40 am (Berlin Hotel)ŌĆÖ and ŌĆÖ2.45 am (Berlin Hotel)ŌĆÖ show personal objects scattered around a hotel room where the artist is spending a sleepless night. These personal belongings are the only reminders of the artistŌĆÖs presence in the room, the sole evidence of the occupier within an otherwise totally impersonal space.

Review of JAMES WHITE: The Rough with the Smooth/Relationships, 2008, by ArtRabbit.com
White is well known for his black and white, meticulously crafted paintings of quiet, familiar situations and ordinary subjects. At the core of WhiteŌĆÖs practice is the slow transformation of his own snapshots of daily life into paintings, which ultimately become sculptural objects. By encasing the paintings in vitrine-like perspex boxes the artist emphasizes the objecthood of the work, at the same time denying the viewer a direct relationship with the painted surface. In these crystalline paintings emptied of colour, objects are reduced to the core of their essence and are turned from the tools of the everyday into symbolic fragments of a life ŌĆō mysterious icons of the familiar.
The Rough with the Smooth/Relationships presents eight new paintings and brings together two new bodies of work.
On the first floor, paintings belonging to The Rough with the Smooth document moments from a transitional period in the artistŌĆÖs life - melancholic moments when items are left behind or brought into a new context: ŌĆ£As happens repeatedly in WhiteŌĆÖs work, the specified moment is not that of delirious communion with a distracting pastime, but one anterior or posterior to it: an instant in which a specific diversion from earthly cares is seen with its lights out, its appeal made slightly mysterious; thereby throwing into relief the ongoing compromise, the fragile neediness, of the usersŌĆÖ lifeŌĆØ (Martin Herbert)

More than likely it will just be switched over to the 800msp when the 18th rolls around and from then on it has to be bought. MS will spend more trying to check and re-check, then "lock" content on who knows how many systems, than just eating the loss. and this is why digital distribution is both good and bad, it's good because of ease of use and access. but bad because you are buying a LICENSE not a product. and upon purchase enter into an agreement that they can revoke at any time. (though usually it has to be justifiable)
This does no good for anyone. They could have spinned this as being free for everyone. Free maps could have gotten more people back playing this game with more maps and that would have benefited everyone imo.Whatever, I'm not planning on buying the map packs and these free ones got me back playing Halo for a bit so I'll keep enjoying them until the 18th. Then we will see what happens I guess.
infamous3668 posted...if this is true I see this ending badly also... I actually paid for them and I have a bad feeling they're gonna lock me out as wellThat what I'm afraid of as well... I mean, I agree with locking it out for the people that didn't pay, but I get the feeling they're gonna screw something up again.
if this is true I see this ending badly also... I actually paid for them and I have a bad feeling they're gonna lock me out as well
that's not my pointpoint is, you shouldnt really be bragging about calling the complete obvious

It's really cute that you guys think I'm going to lose my case :3 I have an Aunt AND a cousin, both work at Micro$oft. Literally already spoke to them and they completely agree with me. My aunt took some convincing, but she sees the criminal side.

Because of the economic limits of his family, Savel can't afford to pay for his education fees and have enough funds to support his courses. He is seeking a loan of $2000 to cover the costs of the four-year academic program.
Thanks to the all lenders around the world who contribute their funds to programs like Kiva via its partner, Hattha Kaksekar Limited (HKL), to help a poor student like him further his education.
This loan will be disbursed over a period of several years and paid directly to the educational institution at the time that enrollment fees are due for each academic year. Accordingly, there is the possibility of a small variation in loan amount and repayment terms, based on shifting class availability and prices. Kiva lenders will be notified with a journal update in the event of any future changes to the loan terms.

text: So I had gotten the full 200gp when the game came out, and the other day while looking through my achievements I noticed that Roll in the Hole was at 190/200gp. When I checked to see what I had missed the achievement for getting 15 lollipops was locked, yet every other one was still unlocked. I loaded up the game and the game itself was telling me that everything was unlocked, despite what my profile was saying. I re-installed the game, then it showed that the 15 lollipops were still locked, so I played the game for about a minute and got the achievement, now it's showing up. I just think it's very strange that an achievement I know for a fact I had already, disappeared. Now I'm paranoid that other games might be doing that.

CCE2 is an MP coop "dynamic campaign" style mission for OFP (though it can be played SP). It randomly generates a series of missions, which must be completed to gain "Victory Points". When the players have enough VP (100 by default), they win. Players also gain "points" by which can be used to buy new vehicles, new troops, arty ammo etc.
Respawn in squad is used (with a 1 second delay). There is a built-in system (similar to DAC) to provide wandering enemy units and camps.
This release is beta 6. Previous versions of CCE were released for the WW4 modpack. The major difference with beta 6 is the new quick-orders menu:
- MP/SP (a lot more fun in coop of course)
- Can easily add new friendly units to allow larger coop games
- Several mission types (eg. raid, patrol, pilot rescue, convoy, etc)
- Heaps of different locations
- CoC UA
- Wandering AI (similar to DAC)
- Enemy AI calls for backup and shares information
- Enemy AI can call mortars on the players
- Destroy enemy camps to reduce the flow of enemy units
- Very easy to mod (most arrays for units etc are in a single .sqs file)
- Can support multiple player groups
- Gain points to recruit new troops/vehicles
- In-squad respawn

Novell Nixes BrainShare
Novell announced that BrainShare 2009 has been canceled. BrainShare has been held for more than 20 years, and the 2009 event was scheduled for March 8 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
John Dragoon, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, posted the announcement on the Novell site today. He explained that the current economic crisis and travel expenses led to the decision.
"Over the coming months, we will continue to focus on building the high-quality training and enablement offerings you have come to expect from us," Dragoon said. "We will do this through online classes, virtual conferences and local tours."
The company posted an FAQ online, which says that registrations will be refunded.
GWAVACon emerges as alternative to BrainShareNovell has canceled BrainShare for 2009 but is working with GWAVACon as the alternative conference. GWAVACon is the largest independent Novell technology conference in the world.
Even though registration was down for BrainShare, GWAVACon is seeing a surge of interest, both in the US, Germany, and the UK.
BrainShare going away is going to be a very good thing for Novell. They are making tough choices and they are good business ones.

Also, she will invest part of the loan in a small poultry farm and will buy three weeks old chicks and feed. She believes her business will succeed because she has being selling for long a time and has regular customers. With this business activity, the community will benefit from the moderate prices she will offer on the food crops. The population will not suffer malnutrition again and the distance to buy food will be reduced. She will encourage more to join the business line.
With the profit made from this loan, she will expand her business, pay her children's school fees, and pay bills. She will also provide medication for her family. She prefers a GHAPE loan because of the low interest rates and convenient repayment intervals, because the members are trained on marketing and management skills before the loans are disbursed, and because the social needs of the members are a concern to the organization.

There were bodies on the floor, guys on the bench cheering and it was just a summer league game.
That type of play, and reaction, has been the norm for the Shelby County High School boys' basketball team as the Rockets completed early summer play at a tournament at St. Xavier this week.
Collins High School girls' basketball fans can expect a fast-paced, push the ball on offense and aggressive defense next season when the Titans take the floor.
The school announced Wednesday it had hired Sean Pigman as the new head coach to replace Phillip Conder. Pigman comes to Collins after spending the last eight years as an assistant coach and athletic director with the high-powered Mercer County program.
It's always interesting to watch a "new' coach come into any athletic program and observe how they try to bring their personal stamp to the team.
With Shelby County volleyball coach Kristen Worthington, the move started this spring as the Rockets prepare for the upcoming fall season.
Despite the abnormal up-and-down frenzy of an all-star game, each of the three local girls' players in Saturday's East-West basketball game utilized their normal skill set to help their East beat the West 71-69.
Shelby County's Justus Martin and Madison Todd and Collins' Whitney Pullen all made significant contributions to their team's win, in a game that pitted the top players from the Seventh/Eighth Regions against the best from the Fifth/Sixth Regions Saturday at Bellarmine University.
It's been a little bit of a laid back summer for Madison Thomas, but things are about to pick up.
Thomas, who recently graduated from Shelby County High School, won the Kentucky state high school golf title this fall has received an invitation to play in the prestigious North-South Junior Tournament at fabled Pinehurst Golf Club in North Carolina July 6-9.
The tournament features the top 90 junior golfers in America.
With the start of football practice just three weeks away and the season nine weeks away, the changes in the 4A district for Collins and Shelby County will be significant.
Collins and Shelby will join North Oldham, Spencer County and Franklin County in what is the 4A equal of the old 6A "super-district" in Jefferson County that featured St. X, Trinity, Male and Manual.
Shelbyville angler John Hunter continues his ascent up the ranks of professional fishing's FLW Tour.
Fishing as a co-angler, Hunter secured his third top 10 finish of the season, pushing him to No. 1 on the FLW Tour's co-angler ranking, according to his website www.JohnHunter.com.
In two days, Hunter pulled in 9 fish, totaling 25 pounds, 4 ounces at Lake Chickamauga, near Chattanooga, Tenn.
The finish has him in position to qualify for the FLW Forrest Wood Cup at the end of August, which is referred to as the Super Bowl of bass fishing.
New American Legion Post 37 skipper Roy Bailey knew he had some talent on this year's squad, but he certainly didn't see 14 innings of no-hit baseball coming out of his pitching staff in back-to-back games against Oldham County.
"You certainly never expect that, but Oldham County is a little young and our guys were really throwing well."
Collins High School ran out of comebacks Wednesday as the Titans fell 8-6 to Greenup County in the second round of the state baseball tournament.
Trailing 8-6 heading into the final inning the Titans loaded the bases in their last at-bat thanks to three straight singles from Alex Doyle, Robert Sproul and E.J. Burk.
Disaster struck when Will McDonald's line drive between first and second base was snagged by Greenup's Jackson Keeton and Sproul was doubled off second base. The game ended when Collin's Chris Crotzer popped out to the catcher.
Collins High School senior Shelbi Poehlein and Shelby County freshman Hannah Webb have been named to the coaches All-Region softball team for the regular season.
Poehlein, a centerfielder who helped Collins reach the region title game, was named to the team last season and will play for Transylvania University next year.
Webb, a second baseman, is making her first appearance on the team. She will play in the Eighth Region against Fifth Region All-Star game June 10 at the University of Louisville's stadium.

Cool flow! For some reason I associated the head with a guitar headstock. I guess it was the overall squarish shape and the horns becoming tuners in my mind.

K&B (Katz and Besthoff) was a drug store chain headquartered in New Orleans. Founded in 1905, it expanded to have stores in the United States Gulf Coast region until it was purchased by Rite Aid in 1997.
Gustave Katz partnered with Sydney J. Besthoff at 732 Canal Street, New Orleans in 1905, and continually expanded through the 20th century to become a regional chain. It was well known for its unique purple color, with everything in the store (signs, cash registers, employee uniforms, etc.) being "K&B Purple". This color became well known as a descriptive term in the local lexicon – as one might describe something as "forest green", New Orleanians still describe a particular shade of purple as "K&B purple."
K&B had many of its own private label items, including household goods such as logo ice chests and garbage cans (in purple), its own liquor line with names typically beginning with the letters K&B and the YENDIS (Sidney spelled backwards)Liquor brand, and for a time a brand of beer. While the majority of K&B brand products were inexpensive non-descript products locally regarded as just above a generic brand, the line also included well regarded products such as the much beloved line of K&B ice cream; the distinctive K&B Creole Cream Cheese ice cream and it's "talking ice cream freezer display case" TV commercials were local favorites. K&B had its own credit card operation too and since its credit policy was so stringent it became a badge of honor to be awarded a K&B credit card.No Comments

The Division of Plastic Surgery offers two positions in the six (6) year Integrated Training Model every year. The Division also offers one position in the three (3) year Independent Model Training Program every third year.
The Integrated Plastic Surgery Residency provides complete plastic surgery training in an Integrated format which will prepare the resident to enter the Certification Process of the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). Our rotation schedule aims to initially blend progressive plastic surgery responsibilities with the core surgery requirements. Residents enter full time plastic surgery rotations at the PGY-3 level.
Applicants for the Integrated Plastic Surgery Residency Training Model must have graduated from a medical school accredited by the Liaison Committee in Graduate Medical Education (LCME). All applications are processed through the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP).
The Independent Plastic Surgery Model provides complete plastic surgery training at the PGY 4 to 6 levels which will prepare the resident to enter the Certification Process of the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).
Residents can officially begin a plastic surgery training program (REQUISITE TRAINING) after completion of any of the PREREQUISITE options, which all require confirmation by the Board. The Independent Model has two options:
Option 1 - General Surgery. Five years of ACGME-approved clinical general surgery residency training with progressive responsibility sufficient to qualify for certification by the American Board of Surgery (ABS) is required. The five years of training must be completed before the resident enters a plastic surgery residency. Effective July 1, 2009, and eliminated after the 2015 match, if the resident enters a plastic surgery residency in the same institution as the general surgery residency , then only three years of general surgery residency are required.
Option 2 - Is available for residents who have satisfactorily completed a formal training program and have satisfied the training to apply for/or are certified in the following: general surgery (including the Vascular Surgery Board of the American Board of Surgery), neurological surgery, orthopaedic surgery, otolaryngology, thoracic surgery, urology, or oral and maxillofacial surgery (the latter requiring two years of clinical general surgery training in addition to an M.D. / D.D.D. or D.M.D.). Successful completion of these ACGME or ADA accredited programs fulfills the PREREQUISITE training requirement.
All plastic surgery residents participate in all aspects of inpatient and outpatient care. This includes preoperative evaluation, surgical performance and postoperative care. The plastic surgery residents are responsible for the focused evaluation and treatment of serious and critically injured patients under the close clinical supervision of the attending faculty. Call schedule duties are taken in equal rotation by the four clinical residents.
Weekly plastic surgery clinics are staffed at Albany Medical Center and at the Samuel S. Stratton Department of Veteran Affairs Medical Center. In addition, a Hand Surgery Clinic is held at the VAMC in conjunction with the plastic surgery clinic.
Personal patient management and longitudinal follow-up is enhanced by the clinical residents. Patients are assigned to each resident according to his level of experience and expertise, discussed with the attending staff and scheduled for surgery as appropriate.
Residents gain valuable teaching experience through participation in the training of medical students, general surgery residents and residents from other subspecialties which rotate on the plastic surgery service.
Didactic teaching is mostly by the tutorial method. Faculty members and assigned residents lead discussion periods each week according to a schedule which will cover the breadth of plastic surgery in 3 years. Faculty members present formal lectures on collaborative material. Visiting Professorships occur 3 or 4 times a year and provide individual exposure to the leaders in the specialty. All resident spend time in the microsurgical laboratory for their education and technical practice.
Throughout the program, plastic surgery residents are encouraged to pursue special interests in clinical and experimental topics related to plastic surgery. Opportunities are available for basic science research in the NIH funded wound healing research lab.
The Senior Resident attends the annual meeting of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Attendance at national or regional meetings for which an abstract is accepted for presentation is financially supported. Any paper which is presented at a national or regional meeting provides an additional trip for the resident author. The PGY 3 Integrated and 1st year independent resident attend ASMS basic. The PGY 5 attends ASPS each year. The Chief residents can choose whether to attend AAPS or subspecialty meeting of their choosing.
Residents also are required to submit an abstract to the Chief Resident's Conference sponsored by the Plastic Surgery Educational Foundation. The PGY-5 resident attends the annual meeting of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. The PGY-4 resident attends the Basic Maxillofacial Workshop Course sponsored by the American Society of Maxillofacial Surgeons. Any paper which is presented at a national meeting provides an additional trip for the resident author.
The application deadline for the Integrated program is October 1.
For additional information, please contact our program.

An Albanian man told an Italian trial court in sometimes confusing testimony Saturday that former University of Washington student Amanda Knox — charged with killing her British roommate — had brandished a knife outside their apartment house.
PERUGIA, Italy — An Albanian man told an Italian trial court in sometimes confusing testimony Saturday that University of Washington student Amanda Knox — charged with killing her British roommate — had brandished a knife outside their apartment house.
The presiding judge often interrupted Hekuran Kokomani, asking him to speak up and be clearer, as the witness recalled seeing Knox, of Seattle, her former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito and a man from the Ivory Coast in front of the apartment house in the university town of Perugia where the victim was killed.
Kokomani, described by prosecutors as a key witness, could not specify if he saw the three together the night in November 2007 when British student Meredith Kercher, 21, was stabbed to death in her bedroom.
Occasionally speaking in Albanian through a translator, and often mumbling, Kokomani said he was driving and then stopped in front of the building where he "bumped into a big black trash bag."

Most Read Stories
The "bag" turned out to be Knox and Sollecito, Kokomani said, identifying the suspects in court. He then said he punched Sollecito, while Knox threatened him with a knife.
"This girl pulled out a 40-centimeter [16-inch] knife from a green bag and brandished it, saying, 'Come here and I'll show you,' " Kokomani said, gesturing with his hands.
He said Knox was holding the knife above her head with both hands, but was not pointing it at him.
At one point Kokomani testified that he "threw olives and a cellphone" at Knox after she showed him the knife and then maneuvered to drive away when he saw the Ivorian, Rudy Hermann Guede.
Guede told Kokomani that the knife had been used to cut a cake during a party in the young women's apartment, according to the Albanian.
Lawyers for Knox and Sollecito read statements Kokomani gave police during questioning that appeared inconsistent with his version in court.
Prosecutors allege that Kercher, whose body was found Nov. 2, 2007, in the apartment she shared with Knox, was killed during what began as a sex game. They say Sollecito held Kercher while Knox touched her with the point of a knife. They say Guede tried to sexually assault Kercher and then Knox fatally stabbed her in the throat.
Knox and Sollecito deny wrongdoing. Guede was convicted of murder in a separate trial last year and sentenced to 30 years in prison.
In court Saturday, Knox laughed, shook her head and covered her face with her hands in what appeared to be disbelief when Kokomani testified that he saw her and Sollecito at a cafe with an unidentified American uncle of Knox's in summer 2007, when Knox and Sollecito had not yet met.
Knox's lawyer Luciano Ghirga dismissed Kokomani's testimony as "unreliable." Prosecutors insisted he remains a key witness.
Also on Saturday, a witness told court that he saw Knox, Sollecito, Guede and Kercher walk out of the women's apartment on Oct. 30, 2007, two days before the killing.
Fabio Gioffredi said he was "99 percent sure" he saw Guede. "They were all dressed in dark clothes, except for Amanda, who was wearing a red coat, with big buttons, '60s-style," Gioffredi said.
Another prosecution witness, Antonio Curatolo, said he saw Knox and Sollecito "chatting, at times animatedly," on a basketball court near the apartment house from about 9:30 p.m. to shortly before midnight the night Kercher was killed.

Buona sera di Roma,
Hello from beautiful Italy, this time from a new home, Hotel Diana, in Rome. In a city so rich with history, creation, innovation, legend, and lore, we're finding it hard to keep track of where we have already visited because each passing day brings more and more new sights and wonders to behold! It's been a few days since we've recapped our adventure so let's start off at the beginning of our Italian Job (Mini Coopers not included)!
Leaving Zermatt, we departed Switzerland and its beautiful Alps, and upon entering Italy, the border nestled between two mountains, it was clear to see the difference between the two countries. On one side, laid Switzerland–German speaking, nice folks, shepherding goats down city roads; on the other was Italy–laden with vineyards, olive trees, pasta, and pizza.
We headed South, straight to Venice, where we immediately set our routine for the next few days, in which we would catch a water taxi to the city and proceed to walk the pedestrian-friendly roads. Having visited Piazza San Marco a few times, more and more of our trip members became friends of the pigeons, famous for perching themselves on top of passers by. While at the Piazza, our trip members split into groups and initiated an old-world bartering competition, in which each group started with a pen and proceeded to trade their items for others increasing in value. Among the final items received were: a Venetian-panorama painting, gondolier hats, and even perfume. Following Piazza San Marco, we ventured through the city to Ponte Rialto, home of the jewellers-of-old; the Murano Glass factory for a master class in glass blowing; and a nice relaxing canal ride by singing and laughing gondoliers… fortunately, though, none of us even touched the water… "The gondola ride is a favorite moment from the trip for me, it was nice and cool and a new way to see the city," said Jamie.
Afterward, we traveled to the Amalfi Coast, to the beach destination of Rimini for some fun in the sun and a surprise of Color War! Our two-day competition pitted four teams against each other, culminating in a tie-breaking skit of staff mimicry and mockery, giving way to our winning team, the Black Team, captained by Ali and Robbie! To some like Ethan, though, "the pizza really stood out as awesome."
And then from Rimini, we made our way to the glorious city of Rome, once the glorious city state founded by the twins of legend, Remus and Romulus. While in Roma (read: Rome), we have visited the Vatican City, Campo di Fiori, Piazza Navono, the beautiful Trastavere, and Piazza Del Popolo, which was "so diverse," according to Eli; for some independent exploration and sight seeing. On top of the exploration, we also toured the legendary Colosseum–colossal and impressive in size and stature; the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps.
As we prepare to leave the city cleaved by the Tiber River, we say prepareto say hello to Pisa, Sorrento, et. al.!

Demographic Transition Theory
According to demographic transition theory, societies transition from high birth and high death rates to low birth and low death rates.
Learning Objective
Break down the demographic transition model/theory into four recognizable stages based on how countries reach industrialization
Key Points
- During the transition, birth rates remain high while death rates drop, leading to population growth.
- During the pre-industrial stage, societies have high birth rates and high death rates.
- During the industrial revolution, societies have high birth rates but death rates begin to fall, leading to population growth.
- During the post-industrial stage, societies have low birth rates and low death rates and population stabilizes.
The demographic dividend
The demographic dividend is a window of opportunity in the development of a society or nation that opens up as fertility rates decline when faster rates of economic growth and human development are possible when combined with effective policies and markets.
Economic development
Economic development generally refers to the sustained, concerted actions of policymakers and communities that promote the standard of living and economic health of a specific area.
- Most of Western Europe has undergone a demographic transition in the past four centuries. Prior to the Industrial Revolution, before the 1700s, the European population was stable as both birth and death rates were high. The Industrial Revolution in the 1700s and 1800s led to a population explosion as the birth rate remained high while the death rate fell rapidly. By the 1900s and 2000s, the birth rate dropped to match the death rate, and the population stabilized or, occasionally, began to shrink sightly.
Full Text
According to scholar Thomas Malthus, population growth is limited by available resources. But if that's so, why is the world's population growing so rapidly in the regions that have the fewest resources? In part, this puzzle can be explained by the demographic transition theory.
The demographic transition theory is a model describing the transition from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates that occurs as part of the economic development of a country. This transition can be broken down into four stages.
Stage One: The Pre-Industrial Stage
During the pre-industrial stage, societies have high birth and death rates. Because both rates are high, population grows slowly and also tends to be very young: many people are born, but few live very long.
In pre-industrial society, children are an economic benefit to families, reinforcing high birth rates. Children contribute to the household economy by carrying water and firewood, caring for younger siblings, cleaning, cooking, or working in fields. With few educational opportunities, raising children costs little more than feeding them. As they became adults, children become major contributors to the family income and also become the primary form of insurance for adults in old age.
Stage Two: The Industrial Revolution
In stage two, countries begin to industrialize, and death rates drop rapidly. The decline in the death rate is due initially to two factors: improved food production and improved health and sanitation. Food production is improved through more efficient agricultural practices and better transportation and food distribution, which collectively prevent death due to starvation and lack of water. Health is improved through medical progress as well as more advanced sanitation methods, especially water supply, sewerage, food handling, and general personal hygiene.
As death rates fall, birth rates remain high, resulting in a population explosion. Population growth is not due to increasing fertility, but to decreasing deaths: many people continue to be born, but more of them now live longer. Falling death rates also change the age structure of the population. In stage one, mortality is especially high among children between 5 and 10 years old. The decline in death rates in stage two improves the odds of survival for children. Hence, the age structure of the population becomes increasingly youthful.
In Western Europe, stage two occurred during the 19th century with the Industrial Revolution. Many other developed countries entered stage two during the second half of the 20th century, creating the recent worldwide population explosion.
Stage Three: Post-Industrial Revolution
During the post-industrial stage, birth rates fall, eventually balancing the lower death rates. Falling birth rates coincide with many other social and economic changes, such as better access to contraception, higher wages, urbanization, commercialization of agriculture, a reduction in the value of children's work, and greater parental investment in the education of children. Increasing female literacy and employment lower the uncritical acceptance of childbearing and motherhood as measures of the status of women. Although the correlation between birth rates and these changes is widely observed, it is not certain whether industrialization and higher incomes lead to lower population, or whether lower populations lead to industrialization and higher incomes.
As birth rates fall, the age structure of the population changes again. Families have fewer children to support, decreasing the youth dependency ratio. But as people live longer, the population as a whole grows older, creating a higher rate of old-age dependency. During the period between the decline in youth dependency and rise in old-age dependency, there is a demographic window of opportunity called the demographic dividend: the population has fewer dependents (young and old) and a higher proportion of working-age adults, yielding increased economic growth. This phenomenon can further the correlation between demographic transition and economic development.
Stage Four: Stabilization
During stage four, population growth stabilizes as birth rates fall into line with death rates. In some cases, birth rates may even drop below replacement level, resulting in a shrinking population. Death rates in developed countries may remain consistently low or increase slightly due to lifestyle diseases related to low exercise levels and high obesity and an aging population. As population growth slows, the large generations born during the previous stages put a growing economic burden on the smaller, younger working population. Thus, some countries in stage four may have difficulty funding pensions or other social security measures for retirees.
The original demographic transition model has just four stages, but additional stages have been proposed. Both more-fertile and less-fertile futures have been claimed as a Stage Five.
