Can Tech Ruin the Kim Pham Murder Trial?
By Charles Lam
Federal agents had failed to make a case against Kocontes, but they refused to abandon pursuit. In November 2008, DOJ prosecutors declared him guilty of murder in civil proceedings to justify confiscating more than $1 million of his savings from a Florida bank account. Inside Orange County's Ronald Reagan Federal Courthouse, U.S. Magistrate Judge Marc Goldman considered the government's case for guilt, including FBI statistics indicating "the most prevalent form of female homicide is homicide committed by an intimate partner."
The DOJ case failed to impress Goldman. He rejected each of the government's assertions, labeling some of the claims against Kocontes "unsupported speculation," "circular" logic or just wrong. The judge said the evidence indicated the killing did not occur in the couple's cabin and that nobody knows where the crime happened or where the corpse was tossed overboard or even if a killer lurked undetected on the cruise staff.
"While Kocontes was at the scene of the crime, so were the more than 2,000 passengers and crew who were also onboard," wrote Goldman in a 2012 ruling. "Thus, there is no physical, visual or aural evidence linking Kocontes to the murder."
FBI agents attempted to find holes in the suspect's story and asserted they'd succeeded by claiming Kocontes lied about Kanesaki also taking an Ambien before her death. Autopsy results for the pill were negative for the drug. But Goldman corrected the government agents. Kocontes had stated they'd both agreed to take the pill, but he'd also noted he didn't know if she had done so because she'd walked inside the cabin's bathroom.
The judge also discarded the use of FBI statistics as evidence of Kocontes' guilt. "While suspicion naturally would focus on the domestic partner in a case such as this, suspicion is not enough," Goldman wrote. "When all is said and done, the government has presented nothing more than allegations and speculation to support its claim that Kocontes murdered Kanesaki."
* * *
Kocontes could have continued to evade law enforcement if not for one crucial mistake: He angered his pal Price and McQueen.
In February 2008, Tampa-area resident Edward Bujanowski hired Kocontes to represent him in a civil action for a $25,000 cash deposit and a 30 percent contingency fee. Because he did not have a Florida bar license, Kocontes asked a judge to allow him to use his California bar membership to work on the Bujanowski case pro hac vice—with a special exemption. A judge approved the request in October 2007, but he revoked it two months later, after lawyers for the defendant discovered Kocontes had been sent to prison in Nebraska in the 1970s, according to court records. Lawyer-less, Bujanowski requested the return of his full deposit and ended up suing Kocontes, who was willing to refund only $5,000. He claimed his private investigator—McQueen—had already billed $20,000 in the matter.
That case got messy and, according to Price, resulted in McQueen wanting to "slap Lonnie" in the face. On a recording made by the OCDA's office, Price explained the reason he and McQueen turned on their friend. "[Kocontes] had another lawsuit called the Bujanowski lawsuit, and he tried to put [McQueen] in a bind with those attorneys, and she could have lost her [PI] license and everything else," he said. "He lied about Susan, about taking money. . . . He got her in a lot of trouble."
The Florida couple that had spoken so highly of Kocontes to the FBI in 2006 after Kanesaki's murder now, three years later, were upset by what they saw as an unforgivable betrayal. In January 2009, the two PIs flew to San Francisco, found Nguyen, participated in non-recorded discussions and elicited a new version of events on tape. The teacher claimed she knew in advance about the plot to kill Kanesaki on the cruise, urged Kocontes to not do it (but failed to alert authorities) and claimed Kocontes told her Price would have two mafia characters execute the crime undetected. After the murder, Kocontes planned to return to her, Nguyen contended.
"Lonnie told me that, uh, Bill had a big connection that, uh, we have just have people to do that—throw Micki, throw Micki out of the boat," Nguyen told McQueen.
She also raised two puzzling mysteries. After Kocontes allegedly threatened to use information contained on her laptop computer to name her as an accomplice to the murder, she says, she followed his telephonic orders to remove the hard drive and give it to him. Nguyen also asserted that the real reason Kocontes divorced her was because Kanesaki blackmailed him with a secret document tying him to an unknown financial crime. She says Kocontes told her that Price's associates, the same ones who were supposedly involved in the murder, broke into the Los Angeles home of Kanesaki's parents and retrieved the document before the cruise.
"Lonnie told me," Nguyen said, "that Bill give [sic] him instruction to go marry a mutual girl, get married to somebody else, or both of us to get married so they, that they won't . . ."
"So that it wouldn't look suspicious?" McQueen interrupted.
"After Micki's death?"
McQueen replied, "Lonnie lies a lot."
In Nguyen's mind, Price's recording of the last part of their conversation was only for his personal use. But the PI delivered the bombshell recording to the FBI, the same agency to whom he had vouched for Kocontes. Seven years after Kanesaki's killing, Price now recalled ominous-sounding memories he forgot to tell investigators: While researching the fateful vacation, Kocontes asked him about the location of security cameras on cruise ships—none were on the Island Escape—and, after the incident, contemplated moving to a country without an extradition treaty with the U.S.

The [movie id="369195″]"Twilight"[/movie] universe's favorite band is back — as if Stephenie Meyer and the creative minds behind the big-screen vampire franchise would have it any other way. [artist id="1191782″]Muse[/artist] is making it three-for-three when it comes to the vampire movie soundtracks, contributing the lead single off The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, "Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever)" And now they've premiered the music video for the song.
The clip is relatively unadorned and simple, almost reminiscent of the music videos you'd regularly see on MTV back in the '80s. The band plays in front of oversize screens, colored lights glow and mix around them and snippets of Edward, Bella and Jacob flash across the screen.
Muse's "Neutron" track itself dropped on Monday, and MTV premiered a 30-second chunk of the video last week, but this is the first time fans have had the chance to check out the nearly four-minute visual in its entirety.
At the outset, the camera pans down to find lead singer Matthew Bellamy on the piano, as a single source of light projects hazy blues and reds behind him. "I was searching, you were on a mission," he sings. "Then our hearts combined like a neutron star collision / I have nothing left to lose / You took your time to choose."
Does any of that, by any chance, remind you of a certain girl caught between the affections of a vampire and a werewolf? Right! The video doesn't show us a ton of fresh footage, but we do get a sense of story elements set to the tune of a brooding, epic rock song: There's Edward and Bella in a field of flowers, there they are checking out her engagement ring and there goes a shirtless Jacob embracing the woman he loves. We also get the Volturi, the wolfpack and a quick close up nefarious Victoria.
That's not to say there's nothing new. By our estimation, among the first looks we get are Edward and Bella kissing in the field, a shot of the Cullen family together and Victoria running from the snapping jaws of two wolves. Check out the video for yourselves and let us know what we missed! The Eclipse soundtrack is due on June 8 and the movie hits theaters on June 30.
What did you think of the Muse video? Does it match the "Eclipse" story line well? Tell us in the comments!

It will be easier to pull for Penn State next week than it was to pull for Sparty this week.
The Sandusky incident and the cover up that followed should have gotten the school booted from the Big 10. I still don't believe that their state government hasn't taken any actions against the school. I would be pissed if I lived there and they continued to funnel my tax dollars to a school that chose a pedophile and football over morals and the law of the land.
I would rather lose a shot at Indy then cheer for Pedophile State U.
Dantonio threw that game to spite us. It's 4th and 1 and you have Laveon Bell. If you gain a yard the game is over.
At some point, they really need to remove the Spartan symbold from the helmet and replace it with something like this:
Will anyone finally call out Dant's teams for what they are? Undisciplined assholes.
And now, once again, fucking losers.
How about what Spielman said during the today's game after another MSU PF: "That's not a Mark Dantonio coached team."
Aren't personal fouls the very essence of Mark Dantonio coached teams? Talking heads are such marks for coaches with crusty demeanors.
Yeah, Spielman said the exact same phrase, verbatim, last season when he was calling an MSU game which as you pointed out is hilarious because his teams are the dirtiest in the league and the most prone to bone-headed, heat-of-the-moment penalties.
Spielman just has a hard on for Dantonio because he [Dantonio] is from Zanesvile, OH, hates Michigan and was the DC for OSU's 2002 MNC team.
Do not induce vomiting. Call 911 or get someone to drive you to the hospital. That bleach you just drank has likely dropped your IQ by 40 pts(which I am assuming was the desired effect), but you may yet survive.
Dantonio will be gone in two years. He's already pleading for seats to be filled with fans that simply don't care. If they win 11 games and beat Michigan the spartan fans are there but when their team needs them for conference survival games nobody cares. If they would have beat Wisconsin and Nebraska back to back that would have been huge but now they're just a 5-5 team on the brink of a failure of a season.
Brink? Nope they are smack in the middle of a failure of a season.
It's all a trick by Dantonio if they won 11 games this year how could he still be laying in the weeds. Strategy B@#$%es!
That are happy Msu lost you're dumb. We just got fucked for a rose bowl you need to realize Msu could have helped us.
You are correct
It is not that they lost, but how they lost that makes me happy.
Do you see anyone here happy they lost? Poking fun at them for sucking ass is not the same thing.
No shit, really?!?
Just a slight hint dude. When you're writing to tell OTHER people that they're dumb, it's best to actually write a proper sentence. Jus' sayin'
I always try to play the "rooting" game with Michigan's best interest in mind -- i.e., rooting for Sparty. I say "try" because I start out with that mindset, but then at some point root against teams like MSU, OSU, and ND. I hate them, I hate their fans, and I hate their coaches. All that hate makes it impossible for me to wish anything upon them losses, even when a win would help Michigan. I know that's irrational, but I know they do the same to us, so fuck them.
Grammar police
PITT JUST GOT ITS PRAYERS ANSWERED!!! ND fumble on the 1 inch line going in for a TD in 2nd OT.....
aaaaand pitt missed a game winning field goal. football gods want me to throw myself out the window tonight.
you got me before the edit...Fuck Pitt man. How do you miss that. And The running back cutting away from the middle of the field towards the hash on 3rd down. Do these guys even think when they play?
That's why Pitts 4-4
I know this is wrong but I'm pulling for Notre Dame, because the more non-SEC options for the BCSCG, the better.
I can't do it...I hate ND more than MSU. I will never root for ND.
...But...I understand your point and agree with trying to minimize the SEC centricity of NCAA football, but I don't see that happening without truly enforcing the rules
Oregon and Kansas State already exist as non-SEC options. That's enough.
Either of which could lose at any time. The more non-SEC options, the better; if at all possible it'd be nice to have a final entirely outside the SEC.
OK, but here's the other thing: ND regularly competes against us for a lot of recruits. None of the other contenders do that often. Ergo, I'm happy if they suck, hard.
(Also, ND is dangerously close to us in the all-time winning percentage standings. We've got to protect that one.)
I'd rather not play Oregon in the Rose Bowl. ND winning does not help
"When does basketball season start?"
has been really lucky most of the season.
Sparty being Sparty. Ugh.
is there any way this game could have just been the ultimate troll by sparty?
So, Pitt can nail 40+ yarders, but cannot win with a 30 yarder. Way to go boys.
Only way Pitt wins is if ND shoots themselves in the foot again.
Does this game at least remove all fear of ND going to NC?
not until Oregon and Bama are 12-0
It damn well better. There is no way they deserve to play for a MNC. ND has so many close, lucky wins this year it makes me nauseated. The ONLY solace I take re: ND is that teams with that many close wins in a season usually fall down hard the next. Auburn had 7 close wins in 2010 and then lost 5 games in 2011.
MSU loses at least one game a year with boneheaded personal fouls. I also don't see how they don't go for it on 4th down there - use your RB who is averaging 5.5 ypc and get that!
Will have to wait another week to get BIG tickets. Sigh.
NBC announcer just called Notre Dame a "team of destiny."
Seriously. Ridiculous.
It's their destiny to watch Alabama-Oregon in the NC game, just like the rest of us.
When the MSU player threw a right cross , did anyoneelse catch the announcer commenting on how "that isn't typical of a Dantonio coached player"? I justabout died laughing.
lol... Yeah, I think it was Chris Spielman who said that. I literally yelled at the TV, "Actually Chris, that's textbook Mark Dantonio football!"
Lol I did, I was like Speilman have you ever watched a Dantonio coached team??
Now I know why every RCMB poster justifiably has intermittent explosive disorder.
No program poops inside the hearts of its fans like the Michigan State Spartans.
I sympathize mildly with Sparty. That was one of the worst instances of a phantom pass interference call I have ever seen. Big Ten officiating has been horrible this year.
No way, they self destructed. Blaming the loss on the refs is a copout. Hell, they should have had a pick 6 if it wasn't for another Sparty self destruction.
This loss was completely on the undisciplined nature of their program.
It's a conspiracy with Delaney to push Michigan and Nebraska to the top of the conference...didn't you know?
and as much as I wanted them to win to increase Michigan's B10 chances, I can't help but relish every bad break that happens to those classles thugs.
True. If PSU manages to pull the upset in Lincoln and we do our jobs against Northwestern, Iowa, and Ohio, then all will be right with the world.

While replacing the heater core today, I was unscrewing the door to remove the cover, and I don't know what happened, but the plastic clip that holds the actuator arm broke off, and I lost the spring that goes onto the actuator so that when the actuator is activated it slides the position of the door into place, and thus you have heat.
It is possible to replace the small pieces that broke off, and buy a new spring, or do I need to replace the entire actuator housing on this car now?

4th annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes
About 60 men made four circuits on the track at Deerfield-Windsor School while wearing red high-heeled shoes. The event is a fundraiser for the Lily Pad, an organization that battles sexual abuse of women and children.
ALBANY — You can never know what "feet" you're capable of until you give it your heart and "sole." And before you "spike" that idea, picture some 60 Albany men having a relatively high-speed jaunt around a running track while wearing red high-heeled shoes.
On Saturday, for the fourth year in a row, that scene took place at the Deerfield-Windsor School Upper Campus track.
It was called Walk a Mile in Her Shoes, an event presented by the Lily Pad Center of Albany to raise money and awareness to fight sexual abuse of women. Onlookers may have wondered, though, why "walk" was even in the title, as the majority of the all-male group — some accessorized to the hilt — took off like rabbits in their pretty, size 12 pumps, putting one spike before the other until they'd gone around four times.
"I impressed myself today," Dougherty County District Attorney Greg Edwards said, "but I'm still in the closet. I'm staying in. (Running in high heels) is a learned skill I wish I'd practiced. I also wish I'd had some extra padding in my shoes."
Edwards said he turned out for the race because of the enthusiasm of his staff for fighting sexual abuse of women, and because of their efforts in collecting money for the cause.
"This is a part of our mission, in terms of dealing with crimes against women," Edwards said, "so it's important for me to be a part of supporting Lily Pad."
When Edwards, who finished at a respectable pace, was asked if he was trying to come in first, he replied that was not his objective.
"I was trying to survive," Edwards said.
"We appreciate the great participation we've had from the Marine Corps, as well as our local law enforcement, the business owners and community members," said Mary Martinez, interim director of the Lily Pad. "Without them, we wouldn't be where we are today.
"This event is to allow our community to understand that even though sexual assault does happen, we're all here together in the fight against it."
Martinez called Saturday's event an "exceptional day," one that brought a large turnout of participants and spectators, as well as about $15,000 in revenue to be used in the fight against sexual assault.
Statistics show that since 1993 the rate of sexual abuse of women has fallen by about 50 percent, and Martinez said she believes the drop is due in part to awareness efforts like Saturday's race.
"I came out here to support a great cause, to raise awareness for this type of event," said Capt. Justin Jacobs from Marine Corps Logistics base-Albany, who had the fastest time in the event. "Sexual assault prevention is a great cause in this community and across the nation. I want to help out every time I can."
Charles Goodson, also with MCLB-Albany, was selected as having the "best legs" at the event. Tim Parks was the wildest walker, while Rodney Brown was seen as the most spirited walker. Greg Edwards and his supporting staff at the D.A's office won a trophy for the most money raised.

Terrible things keep happening to Elisha Cuthbert.
On 24, she was a kidnap victim. In The Girl Next Door, she found herself menaced by a porn producer. And in House of Wax, she comes up against a serial killer with a fondness for dipping his victims in paraffin before installing them in his own private waxworks.
''Every day, I was covered in fake blood, gore and goo,'' says Cuthbert merrily. ''I wanted it to be gruesome. The crew thought I was nuts. But I knew that's what would satisfy audiences.''
House of Wax certainly satisfied Cuthbert, a self-professed horror-movie junkie whose favorite scary flick is the alien-invasion oddity Fire in the Sky.
''There were moments in House of Wax where I jumped,'' she says. ''I thought, 'Oh, my God, I'm such a loser! I'm jumping out of my seat at my own movie!'''
A very loose remake of 1953's House of Wax, the $40 million horror flick revolves around a bunch of teens (Cuthbert, Paris Hilton, Chad Michael Murray, Jared Padalecki) who take a short cut on the way to a football game and end up being pursued by a scary nutjob.
The 22-year-old Cuthbert believes the flick, which was produced by Matrix maven Joel Silver and directed by first-timer Jaume Serra, wound up being more sophisticated than typical slasher fare.
''It's character-driven and it doesn't have to be,'' she reasons. ''It's smart and it doesn't have to be that smart. A lot of fun things happen but there is character development as well as a beginning, a middle and an end to the story.''
Over the course of the movie, Cuthbert's character loses a finger, has her lips sealed together and dives fists-first into a pile of decomposing roadkill. All that was a snap for the actress. But letting loose a blood-curdling holler proved to be a unique challenge.
''The scream was the hardest thing for me,'' she says. ''It has to come from deep inside you. You have to really frighten yourself. I was really pleased with mine. I think it's almost as good as Naomi Watts' scream in the first Ring when she turns the guy around in the chair. Now, that was a great scream.''
Asked what terrifies her in real life, Cuthbert doesn't hesitate a second before naming her penultimate fear.
''I'm petrified of flying,'' she says. ''I worry about it so much. I think fear comes form a lack of knowledge. I don't understand how a 40-ton aircraft maneuvers itself in the air when I'm 106 pounds and I can't lift off. It just doesn't feel safe.''
Given her fear of flying, getting back and forth to the House of Wax set in Australia was a nerve-wracking experience.
''I loved everything about this movie except the 15 hour flight to Australia,'' she says. ''The whole three months that I was there, I was dreading the fact that I had another 15-hour flight back to L.A. But I used that fear. Where do you think that scream comes from?''
Cuthbert had another worry when she began work on House of Wax and it involved co-starring in a movie with Paris Hilton, who had rarely acted before.
''I had my apprehensions at first because, as an actor, you want to work with the best people,'' explains Cuthbert. ''But when Paris got to the set, she was so excited. Now, I think she's to our film what Drew Barrymore was to Scream. I think she stepped up to the plate.''
Unlike the publicity-seeking Hilton, Cuthbert likes to keep her life private. The actress, who's newly engaged to Trace Ayala, Justin Timberlake's best friend and business partner, shrinks from questions about her beau and their coming wedding.
''Look, Chad's wedding is going to be on an MTV show but mine is private,'' she says. ''They get his, but not mine. It's a secret.''
A native of Calgary, Canada who was reared in Montreal, Cuthbert has been acting since she was 10. ''It was sort of a random, coincidental, fate-driven mess,'' she says about being spotted by a casting director while posing for a headshot.
A few years after acing a line in the flick Are You Afraid Of The Dark?, she auditioned for the Canadian TV show Popular Mechanics For Kids and got the gig even though she flubbed her audition. ''It was down to me and another girl and at the last second they threw lines at us,'' recalls Cuthbert. ''I couldn't do the lines and she did. But they go, 'It's all good. We like Elisha. We'll take her.'''
At 18, the actress moved to L.A. where she quickly nabbed a role on 24 as Kiefer Sutherland's oft-imperiled daughter Kim Bauer. ''It was a dream come true,'' she enthuses about her tenure on the program. ''I worked with Kiefer Sutherland on a really smart show that was shot like a movie. But it was a hard thing. My character was, needless to say, quite difficult. It was extremely challenging and taught me how to think on my feet.''
Cuthbert left the series after the third season but still keeps up with all the lastest plot twists thanks to TiVo. ''I've been watching a few here and there. I haven't seen the whole season. I'm waiting for the DVD set. They'd kill me if they heard me say that but, hey, it's the reality.''
Cuthbert, soon to be seen in the indie drama The Quiet featuring Sopranos star Edie Falco, confirms the Internet buzz that she might be making a surprise return to 24.
''I think we're kind of going back and forth about it right now,'' she offers. ''I want it to be right. It's got to be right. I think the whole reason for getting rid of a lot of the main characters was to change it up. They wanted to keep it fresh. So if I do come back, I want it to be huge and exciting.''

Firsthand Tips from the Frog Family
Planning to attend Star Wars Weekends at Disney's Hollywood Studios? Here are a few tips we picked up during opening weekend so you know before you go...
Never is arriving to the park early more important than during Star Wars Weekends. If Hollywood Studios opens at 8 a.m., be at the gate by 7 a.m. You may be able to enter the park before it actually opens and you'll also be greeted by Stormtroopers on the roof of the entrance. Check 'em out here.
The Character Processional which kicks off around noon begins at the park entrance, travels up Hollywood Boulevard and ends on the Star Wars Weekends Event Stage in front of the Sorcerer Hat. Save your viewing spot at least an hour and a half beforehand to make sure the little ones get a good view of all the characters. (Here's video proof it's worth it.)
Opening Ceremony
Immediately following the Character Processional is the Opening Ceremony on the Star Wars Weekends Event Stage. You'll hear an exciting overview of the event, details about the new Star Tours 2 attraction and introductions of characters and celebrity guests. It's pretty cool for adults and hardcore Star Wars fans, but if you're traveling with young Jedi this is a good time to explore other parts of the park.
If your kiddos want to test their lightsaber skills against Darth Vader, sign up for Jedi Training Academy immediately after you enter the park. The sign-up location is in front of Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular. You'll receive a ticket with the time your child is signed up for which you will need to have with you when you check in. (Check-in is in front of Sounds Dangerous; arrive 20-30 minutes early.) [See the Jedi Training Academy video...the little ones are adorable.]
Character Encounters
Star Wars Character Encounters are featured in numerous locations from 8 a.m. – 7:30 p.m.
Star Tours – The Adventures Continue
Obviously, the line for this attraction is pretty long during Star Wars Weekends. If you don't have a FASTPASS, you may want to do it Monday through Thursday when you may only have to wait 30 minutes. It IS awesome though and you never know which of the 50 different versions you'll experience.
Celebrity Guests
Each weekend features celebrity guests who participate in lively Q&A sessions, voice demonstrations and much more. They are also available for autographs at various times throughout the day on the Streets of America. (Disney is offering its FASTPASS service for all autograph sessions.) Check our Weekend Fun Forecast for each weekend's celebrity guests.

Amy Klobuchar - Page 4
Franken Visits Stillwater As He Considers Bridge
A decades-old debate over a new St. Croix River bridge is drawing U.S. Sen. Al Franken to Stillwater. The Democrat from Minnesota visits the city on Saturday to meet with local officials and tour the 80-year-old lift bridge. Franken hasn't taken a position on a long-delayed proposal.
Klobuchar To Introduce Bill To Ban Synthetic Drug
U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar is proposing legislation that would ban a synthetic drug that killed one Minnesotan last week and sent 10 others to the hospital. Klobuchar says Monday that the drug called 2C-E should be illegal. Klobuchar already co-sponsored legislation that would permanently ban chemicals found in synthetic marijuana and other drugs. She says she'll work to include a ban on 2C-E in the existing bill.

Most Human Gene Variations Identified
An international consortium of scientists says it has identified and catalogued the vast majority of genetic variations among people, a huge step toward the ultimate goal of mapping nearly all such differences in humans' biological blueprints.
The project, which will cost $120 million over five years, is expected to speed efforts to study the roles genes play in many diseases, including diabetes and coronary ailments.
The 1000 Genomes Project Consortium, as it is known, used the latest technology to sequence the entire genome of 179 people and the protein-coding genes on 697 others. By studying populations of European, West African, and East Asian ancestry, the researchers are able to compare genetic information between individuals and also across different populations.
Its findings were published in related papers in Nature and Science on Wednesday.
The pilot phase identified 15 million genetic differences among the people studied, more than half of which had never been seen before, according to a paper published Wednesday in the journal Nature. That means the database—which will be available to researchers world-wide—will list 95% of the genetic variations found in people, according to comments during a briefing by Richard Durbin of the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, co-chairman of the project steering committee.
The consortium—a group of private and public institutions that include researchers from China, Germany, the U.S. and the U.K.—generated data from people living in five regions of the world. Ultimately, the researchers hope to sequence 2,500 people and add those findings to the global body of work.
In a feature published along with the Nature paper, 90 genomics centers and labs estimated that they will have sequenced at least 2,700 human genomes by the end October, and the total could exceed 30,000 by the end of 2011.
A decade ago, researchers released the correct sequence of the human genetic code. But the so-called human reference genome didn't contain the many genetic differences that exist among individuals. These differences, or variants, are important in trying to understand the complex genetic, environmental and random factors that contribute to disease.
Other research projects have previously found more than 100 regions of the genome that are associated with common diseases such as diabetes or coronary-artery disease. The 1000 Genomes Project aims to allow researchers to focus on genetic variants in those regions.
David L. Altshuler, deputy director of the Broad Institute of Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a co-chairman of the 1000 Genomes Project steering committee, said a large catalog is a critical tool in figuring out which genetic differences might increase risk of disease. "You can only make sense of one person's genome by referencing it to other people's genomes," he said in an interview.
In a related paper published in Science to coincide with the release of the 1000 Genomes Project findings, researchers from the University of Washington showed how data from the project can be used for more-specific questions that couldn't be studied before. While most genes come in only two copies, some have fewer or more copies. The researchers said data from the project is allowing them to home in on these genes, some of which appear to be involved in brain development.

Prescription drugs play a significant role in healthcare today and constitute the first line of treatment for many medical conditions. For millions of people, prescription drugs provide the hope of improved health and quality of life. Total medical costs for employers continue to outpace the rate of overall inflation, in particular, the increase in very high cost drugs to treat complex conditions such as cancer, hepatitis and multiple sclerosis. National health expenditures as a percentage of gross domestic product are expected to increase to 19.3% in 2023 from an estimated 17.6% in 2014 according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS"). In response to cost pressures being exerted on health benefit providers such as managed care organizations, health insurers, employers and unions, pharmacy benefit management ("PBM") companies work to develop innovative strategies that make the use of prescription drugs safer and more affordable. ...

Long story short:
I'm building a skeleton application for Zend Framework and I got to the part where I need to setup the
api module. I'm using
Zend_Rest_Controller for this job. All is ok up to this part where I need to get the HTTP headers in a controller to verify the api key.
On various tutorials I've read on the web the thing is done via a front controller plugin, but I need it to be more "plug and play" than that (checking each time the config of the application, deciding which module is the api and so on).
I tried what seemed most obvious
$this->getRequest()->getHeaders() but doesn't seem to work, at least not for the HTTP headers where I'll be seding my api key. Neither the
reponse object.
Can anyone help me with this one?

Council member Ken Cockrel must be trippin! On Tuesday, December 11, after he, along with Saunteel Jenkins, James Tate, Gary Brown, and Charles Pugh, voted to approve the ill-conceived Hantz land sale proposal, he was quoted in the Detroit Free Press as saying, "a 'no' vote would have sent the message to the world that Detroit isn't really serious about urban agriculture." The foremost advocates and practitioners of urban agriculture in Detroit opposed the Hantz proposal. It is groups like Feedom Freedom Growers, Earthworks Urban Farm, the Garden Resource Program and D-Town Farm that have informed the nation and the world that Detroiters are serious about urban agriculture.

Thanks for the tip. Trackback spam seems to trebled in recent weeks.
I first changed the name of my wp-comments-post.php file about 2 years ago now. The spam was building up, even with Akismet catching most of it I'd rather it just not hit the database in the first place.
I renamed the file but I added a Redirect 410 in htaccess for the old file, so that bots to the file would get a 410 (Gone) and possibly assume WordPress was no longer on the domain.
Another option is also to modify one of the input names. Bots assume the names of the input fields are author, email, url and comment, so modify say 'author' to be 'authorname' and then alter this in the wp-comments-post.php file (it's right near the top) and you add an additional barrier for spam.
The only issue with this, and of course with the renaming, is that you have to remember to do it on every upgrade. Something I forget at times!
You're completely right. I used to change a few things manually but it just makes updating more time consuming. For example, I used to make the login page more presentable and had the bloggingtips logo above it etc. However, it requires you to do it every time you upgrade.
I definately think theres a real need for WordPress to tackle trackback spam more effectively in their stable releases. Perhaps they can use some sort of random generator whereupon the comment submission file changes every day or something.
Thanks for the advice Will give a try!
I learn something new every time I visit. Thanks for the great post.
Your post makes one think! Great article. Thanks for allowing me to comment!
First of all congratulation for such a great site. I learned a lot reading article here today. I will make sure i visit this site once a day so i can laern more.

Ironically, this post is being spammed very frequently too therefore comments have been removed.
so how many comments here are just spamming for some backlinks?
Hi Kevin,
I never really understood the idea of TrackBacks and went to Google looking for some explanation. I felt like I was getting a lot of spammy trackbacks at my blog and was wondering if there was a way to stop it. Some of the articles I read seemed to imply that TrackBacks are good for SEO for your blog. Do you find that to be the case? I can understand a legitimate TrackBack being good for my blog's traffic, but what about all the garbage that isn't related to my posts at all? Is there any possible benefit to allowing those through moderation? I can't seem to find a good answer about this. Thanks for your input.

Pending some definitive judicial finding, which is hardly guaranteed, what is a responsible judgment? Begin with the spring of 1999, the year after Bonds, according to Fainaru-Wada and Williams, became obsessively jealous of the adulation accorded Mark McGwire as he hit 70 home runs.
When Bonds reported to spring training in 1999, jaws dropped because he was suddenly so huge. And this very intelligent player was unintelligently huge. For many years, baseball discouraged strength training with weights because of fears that players would become "muscle-bound,'' losing their flexibility. Jon Miller, the Giants broadcaster, remembers that in 1999, Bonds, for the first time in his career, had trouble turning on an inside pitch. His manager, Dusty Baker, expressed worries to Bonds.
In 2000, in the first inning of the Giants' first spring training game, an opposing player hit a shallow fly ball to left field. Miller grabbed his binoculars to confirm that the left fielder actually was Bonds, who, perhaps because he was doing more judiciously whatever he was doing, looked somewhat less inflated than he had the previous spring. In 2000, Bonds hit 49 home runs.
It is still unclear if there will be judicially imposed punishment in this matter. But condign punishment for a man as proud as Bonds would be administered by the court of public opinion, and exclusion from the Hall of Fame.
In any case, Bonds' records must remain part of baseball's history. His hits happened. Erase them and there will be discrepancies in baseball's bookkeeping about the records of the pitchers who gave them up. George Orwell said that in totalitarian societies, yesterday's weather could be changed by decree. Baseball, indeed America, is not like that.
Besides, the people who care about the record book -- serious fans -- will know how to read it. That may be Bonds' biggest worry.

Energy exploration bill returns to NC Senate panel
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Supporters of a bill to allow permits for underground natural gas exploration in North Carolina say the legislation would cause energy companies to consider drilling in the state.
The measure is expected to receive more debate and a vote Thursday in a Senate committee. It authorizes regulators to issue the first licenses for horizontal drilling and fracking five months after drilling rules are finalized.
The bill also lays out how energy production would be taxed and urges the governor to work with South Carolina and Virginia to seek Atlantic offshore drilling.
Environmental groups said earlier this week there's no need to rush the bill while regulations are being developed. They're also worried about changes involving how wastewater and hydraulic fracturing fluid could be stored.

Boris Yeltsin looked like a doer, a fixer, like someone capable of bringing real change. and indeed he brought it. He could be unpredictable, but his political instincts were unrivalled
President Boris Yeltsin is of our time. We don't have the distance to evaluate him fully, or unequivocally. There are many people alive who remember him very well. Many of my friends worked close to him, as journalists in his travelling pool, and as his speechwriters, photographers, interpreters and advisers. They remember how he spoke and how he moved, when he was rude, or cracking jokes, drinking champagne and vodka. To some of us it seems only yesterday when he made his famous pronouncements, including: "Default is not going to happen!" and "I will lay down on the railroad tracks if the prices will go up!"
I talked to him only once, in 1990. I was a young TASS reporter in Moscow attending his meeting with a delegation of the Polish parliament. He had just been elected chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Federation, and after the meeting I was supposed to get his clearance for the text. Yeltsin said: "As far as I can see, you are an experienced man (it was not true by any means). It will be up to you to decide." And then my hand disappeared in his giant grip as he shook it.
I saw him speak at Moscow State University in 1988 and he impressed me, seeming larger than life, just as everyone had said. Then I saw him again at Dom Kino (the cinema house) where he gave a bear hug to the Polish dissident Adam Michnik. And when Yeltsin was expelled from the Politburo of the Communist Party, I picked up his portrait and placed it on the bookshelf in our house. My wise grandfather threw it away with the reproach, "Don't be an idiot, while they are fighting for power, you are taking sides."
My friends evaluate him in various ways. Those who worked with him – with a few exceptions – say he was a great statesman with enormous charisma. The best characterisation came from Strobe Talbott, the American foreign policy analyst, who said that Yeltsin had a volcanic character. He could be unpredictable, but his political instincts were without comparison on the Russian political scene. I have also heard the opinion that Yeltsin brought the country to its knees, and that he made several crucial mistakes – including the process of privatisation, during which mobs and thugs seized Soviet property. He also started a war in Chechnya and brought into power as his successor "someone we won't be able to get rid of for a long time". But for me this is a simplification of Yeltsin.
His supporters say he brought Russia freedom. Others say it was Gorbachev who initiated freedom of the press (glasnost); opened the Soviet Union for foreign travel; arranged the first democratic and alternative elections; published Solzhenitsyn; and refrained from using force against the opposition.
The mid-Eighties was a period of expectation for the Russian people. Gorbachev looked like an unusual and promising individual compared to his grey-faced colleagues. However, his goals were not clear, and it became obvious that he cared much more about his Communist Party friends and his political ambitions. Yeltsin looked like a doer, a fixer, like someone who was capable of bringing real change. And indeed he brought it. Yeltsin revised and changed the traditional Communist ban on private property, his most significant achievement.
Yeltsin did not make everyone in Russia happy; national minorities are a significant part of political life. Complicated ethnic conflicts in the North Caucasus – the aftermath of the Soviet national policy and the result of a vacuum of power in societies where feudal instincts were still quite strong – did not give him much choice. I strongly supported his actions in 1993 against the Supreme Soviet, whose members arranged, as the veteran politician Anatoly Chubais correctly said, "a military-fascist coup" against Yeltsin. I understood the fragility of the economic model he built in the early Nineties and predicted the default of 1998 which was a turning point for Russia and Yeltsin.
From 1998, he was a different Yeltsin, exhausted by political struggle. He was not free of bad habits, and had a serious heart problem. He criticised America and argued with his friend Bill Clinton, who cared for and devoted more attention to Russia than any other president in US history. He was not the same person on whom we pinned our aspirations and expectations in 1987.
At his resignation, Yeltsin again showed himself to be the same man we liked so much a decade earlier: a human being who was capable of a gesture, of a step, of a deed. He asked for forgiveness. That is something that not many politicians can do. I would remember Yeltsin as someone who cared about his nation and as someone who always felt himself to be on the side of the virtue of good, on the right side of history.

The Supreme Court of the Netherlands (Dutch: Hoge Raad der Nederlanden pronounced [ˈhoːɣə raːd dɛr ˈneːdərlɑndə(n)], literally "High Council of the Netherlands") is the highest court of the Netherlands, Curaçao, Sint Maarten and Aruba.[2] The Court was established on 1 October 1838 and sits in The Hague, Netherlands.[3]
The jurisdiction of the Supreme Court is limited primarily to civil, criminal and tax cases. The Court has the authority to quash rulings by appellate courts (a procedure known as cassation) and thereby establishes case law, but only if the lower court applied the law incorrectly or the ruling lacks sufficient reasoning. The facts determined in the lower court are not reviewed and are accepted as correct.[4] According to Article 120 of the Constitution, the Court may not rule on the constitutionality of laws passed by the States General and treaties. With the exception of Sint Maarten, the Court has thus no competence for judicial review.[5][6]
The Supreme Court currently consists of 35 judges: a president, 6 vice-presidents, 24 justices (raadsheren, literally "Lords of the Council") and 4 justices in exceptional service[7] (buitengewone dienst). All judges are appointed for life, until they retire at their own request or mandatorily at the age of 70.[8]
The development of cassation in the Netherlands was heavily influenced by the French during the Batavian Revolution at the end of 18th century. The establishment of the Supreme Court on 1838 brought an end to the Grote Raad van Mechelen and its successor the Hoge Raad van Holland, Zeeland en West-Friesland, which both served as high appellate courts.[3]
|This section requires expansion. (December 2009)
In the Netherlands a case is first heard by one of the ten district courts (rechtbanken). Afterwards, either side may appeal to one of the four courts of appeal (gerechtshoven). Finally, either party may file a cassation appeal to the Supreme Court.
Composition and current membership[edit]
|This section requires expansion. (December 2009)
Justices of the Supreme Court are appointed by royal decree, chosen from a list of three, advised by the House of Representatives on the advice of the Court itself. The justices are, like every other judge in the Netherlands, appointed for life, until they retire at their own will or after reaching the age of 70. Upon reaching the age of 60, a justice may change status to exceptional (also known as special) service, with the effect that the justice no longer plays a full role at the Court.
The Supreme Court is divided into four chambers: the first (or civil) chamber, the second (or criminal) chamber, the third (or tax) chamber and the fourth (or 'ombuds') chamber. The members of the fourth chamber are chosen ad hoc, but will include the president of the Court.[8]
As of September 2015[update], the first three chambers are composed as follows:[8]
First chamber (civil matters)[edit]
- Ernst Numann, vice-president (chairman)
- Floris Bakels, vice-president
- Annemarie van Buchem-Spapens, justice
- Kees Streefkerk, justice
- Toon Heisterkamp, justice
- Coen Drion, justice
- Gerbrant Snijders, justice
- Dineke de Groot, justice
- Martijn Polak, justice
- Vincent van den Brink, justice
- Tanja Tanja-van den Broek, justice
Second chamber (criminal matters)[edit]
- Willem van Schendel, vice-president (chairman)
- Leo van Dorst, vice-president
- Bon de Savornin Lohman, justice
- Jaap de Hullu, justice
- Tineke Splinter-Van Kan, justice
- Ybo Buruma, justice
- Elishewa van de Griend, justice
- Nastja van Strien, justice
- Eveline Faase, justice
- Jeppe Balkema, justice in exceptional service
- Jan Ilsink, justice in exceptional service
Third chamber (tax matters)[edit]
- Jacques Overgaauw, vice-president (chairman)
- Robert Koopman, vice-president
- Maarten Feteris, president
- Dick van Vliet, justice
- Bernard Bavinck, justice
- Liesbeth Punt, justice
- Cees Schaap, justice
- Piet van Loon, justice
- Marc Fierstra, justice
- Theo Groeneveld, justice
- Loek van Kalmthout, justice
- Mariken van Hilten, justice
- Peter Lourens, justice in exceptional service
- Jaap van den Berge, justice in exceptional service
Second World War[edit]
During the German occupation, the Supreme Court kept functioning. In November 1940 the occupiers forced the president, Judge L.E. Visser, to resign because he was Jewish. Visser's colleagues did not protest. The members who remained also signed a compulsory declaration about Aryans.
After the liberation, people reproached the Court for a weak and legalistic attitude. The Court wished above all to guarantee the continuity of the jurisdiction and not to become involved in politics. However such chances as there were to take a stand on principle against the Germans were largely missed. The Justices either omitted to give a moral example or felt they were not in a position to do so.[9] This was demonstrated in a so-called "Test sentence", (Supreme Court, 12 January 1942, NJ 1942/271), in which the Supreme Court ruled that the Dutch judge was not permitted to contest the decrees of the occupying force on the basis of international law, in particular the 1907 regulation prescribed for a country at war. In this the Supreme Court followed the advice of the barrister-general A. Rombach. The judgment concerned a case in which a man was sentenced by the economic judge for an "economic offence" (the purchase of pork without valid coupons). The counsel for the accused, P. Groeneboom, attested in his defence before the Supreme Court on 27 October 1941 that the judge had the authority to challenge the regulations of the occupying force on the basis of the regulation prescribed for a country at war, the decree of the Führer and the first regulation of the government commissioner. When the Supreme Court (in a judgment of 12 January 1942) denied the possibility of contesting rules issued by the National Socialist oppressors, the Netherlands followed what was the rule in Germany and Italy too. On the basis of two emergency measures Hitler had the authority to issue incontestable rules, and the legal establishment acknowledged not it was not allowed to challenge "political" measures. "Political" in this case was what the political authorities considered to be political. In Italy the Court of Appeal recognized the free authority of Mussolini and the judge's lack of authority to control it.[10] Meihuizen says about the Dutch test sentence: "A sentence with far-reaching consequences because with this, barristers were not given the chance to bring before the judge the question of the validity of legislation which had been issued by or on behalf of the occupier."[11]:85 The Supreme Court defended this sentence in retrospect with the conjecture that the Germans would never accept their decrees being contested and might have intervened in a negative way with the legal establishment, resulting in a further diminishing of citizens' legal protection.[9]
In 1943 the seat of the Supreme Court was temporarily moved from The Hague to Nijmegen. With the liberation of Nijmegen in September 1944, this led to a situation in which, although the seat was on liberated ground, most of the Justices found themselves still in occupied territory. After the war, there was not much done to clear matters, lawyers who had collaborated with the Germans generally kept their jobs or got important other positions. A crucial role in this affair was played by J. Donner, who became president of the Supreme Court in 1946.[9]
