Trayvon evidence fails to answer who screamed for help
ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) – An FBI expert found crucial evidence in the Trayvon Martin case was inconclusive, saying it was impossible to tell if the voice screaming for help belonged to the black Florida teenager or his shooter George Zimmerman just before the neighborhood watch captain pulled the trigger.
That detail came from a mass of evidence made public on Thursday in the case that sparked civil rights protests across the United States and debates over guns, self-defense laws and race relations in America.
The documents confirm numerous compelling facts and minutiae that have been debated at kitchen tables and on television sets across the country following the February 26 homicide when Zimmerman, 28, shot and killed the 17-year-old Martin.
Police initially declined to arrest Zimmerman, citing Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” self-defense law, but a special prosecutor who was subsequently appointed charged Zimmerman with second-degree murder. Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty.
The nearly 200 pages of documents plus photographs, videos and audio recordings provide evidence that will be seized upon by both Zimmerman’s supporters and his detractors, including the revelation that Martin had traces of marijuana in his system and a witness who described the teen as beating on Zimmerman in the style of mixed martial arts.
But what may be the central point of contention – who screamed for help? – goes tantalizingly unanswered.
If it was Zimmerman, it would confirm his story that he pleaded for assistance against the teenager who was brutally beating him. If it was Martin, it could establish Zimmerman was the aggressor who shot an unarmed teenager and would be a major component of a case for second-degree murder.
Relatives of both Zimmerman and Martin swear it was their kin who was pleading for his life.
The cries for help were silenced by a single shot from Zimmerman’s Kel Tec 9mm handgun but not before they were recorded on phone calls that neighbors made to police to report a struggle between two men in their gated community in the central Florida city of Sanford.
“Critical listening and digital signal analysis further revealed that the screaming voice of the 911 call is of insufficient voice quality and duration to conduct a meaningful voice comparison with any other voice samples,” concluded Kenneth Marr, a specialist with the FBI’s digital evidence laboratory in Quantico, Virginia.
Of 18.82 seconds of screaming in the distance, only 2.53 seconds went uninterrupted by the conversation between the woman who called 911 and the dispatcher, Marr said in his report.
Moreover, the audio sample was “produced under an extreme emotional state,” the report said, making it difficult to analyze.
Zimmerman supporters can point to a separate Sanford police report within the documents that says Martin’s father, Tracy Martin, told investigators the screams did not belong to his son when he heard the recordings two days after the shooting.
Martin has since told reporters he was uncertain at that time, but that when he heard an enhanced recording on March 16 he was convinced it was his son calling for help. The boy’s mother, Sybrina Fulton, also insists the cries come from Trayvon.
Zimmerman’s father and brother have been equally adamant it was George’s voice they heard.
“That is absolutely, positively George Zimmerman,” father Robert Zimmerman said in an interview with prosecutors on March 19. “Myself, my wife, family members and friends know that is George Zimmerman. There is no doubt who is yelling for help. It is absolutely my son.”
MOUNDS OF EVIDENCE
The documents made public on Thursday include reports from law enforcement, the medical examiner who performed the autopsy, and fire department medics who treated Zimmerman at the scene.
There are photographs of the crime scene and Zimmerman’s injuries, plus audio recordings of witness statements, and video of Zimmerman arriving at the police station and the last images of Martin alive, while he was buying candy and a soft drink at a convenience store.
Alongside photos of Zimmerman’s bloody scalp and puffy nose, the documents say Zimmerman repeatedly declined to be taken to the hospital to be treated for injuries suffered in his scuffle with Martin, which could weaken his argument that he feared for his life and required deadly force to defend himself.
In addition, the medical examiner’s report showed only a small abrasion on Martin’s left ring finger and no other injuries – apart from the fatal gunshot wound to the chest – to support Zimmerman’s claim he was nearly beaten to death.
A Sanford police officer said “Zimmerman appeared to have a broken and bloody nose and swelling of his face,” which could support Zimmerman’s contention he feared for his life.
Zimmerman told the fire department medics he was taking temazepam, a medication to treat anxiety or insomnia, and librax, which is prescribed for gastrointestinal disorders.
According to ABC News, a medical report by Zimmerman’s doctor also said he had been prescribed Adderall, which is used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Police also conclude the incident was “ultimately avoidable” had Zimmerman remained in his car that night instead of following Martin.
The medical examiner’s report showed traces of THC – the active ingredient in marijuana – in Martin’s blood and a positive test for ‘cannabinoids’ in his urine.
An attorney for the Martin family called the marijuana evidence irrelevant, saying it was more telling that police declined to order a drug or alcohol test of Zimmerman.
Martin was on suspension from school at the time of the shooting after school officials found traces of marijuana, but no actual drugs, in his belongings.
“The relevant thing is George Zimmerman didn’t have a toxicology report so we don’t know what he had in his system,” said attorney Benjamin Crump. “We know he (Zimmerman) was on prescription medication but we don’t know if he was taking it or not and what effect that would have on him.”

Global leaders seek to corral Europe crisis
WASHINGTON (AP) ? The leaders of eight of the world’s biggest economies meet this weekend outside Washington, seeking to keep Europe‘s debt crisis from spiraling out of control and jeopardizing fledgling recoveries in the U.S. and elsewhere.
The turmoil in Greece is draining confidence in the 17 countries that use the euro. Borrowing costs are up for the most indebted governments. Depositors and investors are fleeing banks seen as weak. Unemployment is soaring as recession grips nearly half the eurozone countries. And global markets are on edge.
All that forms a tumultuous backdrop as representatives of the G8 countries ? the United States, Germany, France, Britain, Japan, Russia, Italy and Canada ? head to Camp David. Standing in the way of a breakthrough are disagreements over how to bolster Europe’s economy and avoid a broader catastrophe.
In advance of the talks, German Chancellor Angela Merkel struck a conciliatory note this week. She said in a television interview this week that she was open to measures to help stimulate Greece’s economy as long as the country honors its commitments to shrink its debts.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner applauded the softer tone emerging among European leaders.
“You are seeing them talk about a better balance between growth and austerity, meaning a somewhat more gradual, softer path toward restoring fiscal sustainability,” Geithner said.
The shift shows that European leaders recognize that countries can’t increase their economic growth if they’re forced to focus solely on cutting spending and reducing debts. Geithner said European countries would benefit from investment in public works projects, like roads and schools.
At this weekend’s talks, non-European leaders will seek assurances that European leaders could contain the damage from a banking meltdown in Greece. They worry about a panic that could spill into Portugal, Spain and other indebted European countries ? and to nations outside the continent whose banks are connected to Greek banks.
“If there was a bank run in Greece … would they know how to prevent it from spreading to other countries?” said Jacob Kierkegaard, a research fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics.
U.S. officials will be “looking for assurances that the Europeans are aware of what’s needed to keep the euro together and are willing to take those measures.”
The meetings begin Friday evening with an economics-focused summit at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland’s Catoctin mountains. They will end Saturday evening. Most of the officials will join a larger group of international leaders in Chicago for a national-security oriented NATO summit Sunday and Monday.
Investors have been shaken by the power vacuum in debt-stricken Greece. They fear the consequences if Greece refuses to impose deep spending cuts agreed to under a bailout deal. They worry that the bailout could collapse, toppling Greece’s economic and banking system and forcing the nation from the eurozone.
Should that happen, larger governments in Spain or Italy that are struggling to ease their debt loads might soon fail. The eurozone itself could splinter. The result could be a global crisis to rival the one that followed the 2008 collapse of the investment bank Lehman Brothers.
Behind the turmoil is a growing realization that cost-cutting alone won’t solve Europe’s crisis. Europe’s governments have begun to seek ways to energize the continent’s economy. Yet when money is tight and borrowing costs are high, governments have little ability to quickly stimulate growth.
Speaking to business leaders before leaving for the G8 summit, British Prime Minister David Cameron warned Thursday that the eurozone must “make up, or it is looking at a potential breakup.”
“Either Europe has a committed, stable, successful eurozone with an effective firewall, well-capitalized and regulated banks, a system of fiscal burden sharing, and supportive monetary policy across the eurozone ? or we are in uncharted territory, which carries huge risks for everybody,” Cameron said in a speech in Manchester.
The Obama administration is also concerned that shocks from Europe could slow the U.S. economy and threaten President Barack Obama‘s re-election prospects.
Yet it’s also aware there’s no simple solution. European countries are straining under high borrowing costs. Their lending rates are high because investors are nervous about their debt loads relative to the strength of the economies.
Under pressure from Germany, Europe’s strongest economy, governments have laid off workers, cut pay for others, reduced spending on social programs and imposed higher taxes and fees to boost revenue.
Yet as economies have shrunk, countries’ debt as a percentage of their economies has worsened. Leaders are increasingly recognizing that budget-cutting must be paired with steps to invigorate Europe’s economies.
The United States, along with Japan and Canada, is expected to push Merkel to do more to spur growth in Europe. Germany has begun to accept such an approach after the election of pro-growth Francois Hollande to the French presidency and the fall of a pro-austerity Dutch government.
Among the growth measures some economists recommend are reducing regulations for small businesses, making it easier for workers to find jobs across the eurozone and relaxing barriers that countries have created to protect their industries.
Germany has already negotiated higher public sector wages, a step that could encourage Germans to increase their purchases of goods from more troubled European economies.
“That is the one thing Barack Obama will try to impress on Angela Merkel,” said Sung Won Sohn, an economics professor at California State’s Martin Smith School of Business.
But most stimulative measures take time ? up to a decade, in some cases ? to kick in. They won’t much help a Europe that needs much stronger growth now.
Joaquin Almunia, the European Union’s top antitrust official and its former economic and monetary affairs commissioners, argued Wednesday that the eurozone lacks a growth strategy that can co-exist with short-term steps to shrink government debts.
“We cannot offer to the public an adjustment period of 10 years,” Almunia said.
Claudia Schmucker, an economist at the German Council on Foreign Relations, thinks that while Merkel won’t drop her austerity demands she will eventually agree to some growth measures.
A growth agreement among European leaders would at least “show that we are doing something,” Schmucker said.
In light of all the obstacles, expectations are low for a breakthrough at Camp David this weekend.
“There will be nothing here that tackles the fundamental key questions looming over the global economy,” Kierkegaard said.

Sharper Image Cooling Station
Every so often, a product graces the PCMag Labs that will leave more than a few of us scratching our heads in befuddlement. Enter the Sharper Image Cooling Station ($79.99 direct), an item whose main purpose somewhat eludes me. Ostensibly, it’s a portable keyboard with a built-in touchpad for your laptop, yet it can only work inches away from the laptop’s keyboard. And, as the name implies, it also cools your laptop, but that requires the laptop to be placed in a ridiculously awkward position in order to accommodate the built-in keyboard. And therein lies the main problem with the Sharper Image Cooling Station: while there’s obviously nothing inherently wrong with portable keyboards or cooling stations in and of themselves, a combination of the two winds up compromising the utility of both elements to such an extent that the overall product consequently suffers as a whole.
Now, I’m fully aware that Sharper Image isn’t a company known for computing prowess. It’s more of an entity that specializes in innovative-cum-gimmicky items ranging from foot massagers to automatic tie racks. This lack of focus is apparent with the cooling station. It’s a hastily sketched out idea that tries to perform more than one function and winds up doing none of them adequately.
Design
The Sharper Image Cooling Station is constructed out of flimsy plastic and comes in a silver finish. It folds open and close like a laptop, and when it’s open and laid out flat, the unit is 17 inches wide and 13.75 inches long, whereas it stands at about 9 inches tall when opened up like a laptop. Opening it up for the first time is a mildly jarring experience because you encounter a keyboard in the lower half but no screen above it, like an incomplete laptop. Instead, you place the bottom of the laptop on this upper portion while tilting your screen upwards. In the end, you wind up with an eye-level screen and the strangely disconcerting, Shining-esque sight of two keyboards staring at you point blank. From an aesthetic angle, the Cooling Station’s keyboard is a dead ringer for the MacBook Pro’s keyboard, so its keys are in the familiar chiclet style. But while the Cooling Station’s keyboard emulates the MacBook Pro’s look, the keyboard also has a Windows Start Menu button since it’s meant to be compatible with both Windows and Mac operating systems. As a mini keyboard, its size is nearly identical as the Evoluent Essentials Full Featured Compact Keyboard (EKB) ($49.95 direct, 3.5 stars). There’s also a touchpad beneath the keyboard which, despite its superficial similarity to the MacBook’s touchpad, does not feature any multi-touch capabilities, like two-finger scrolling.
But before you actually mount your laptop onto this thing, you’ll notice a few features on the upper half, namely three horizontally arranged cooling fans that the Cooling Station owes its namesake to. There’s a rectangular flap beneath the fans that you push out so it sits obliquely on an adjustable plastic panel behind the system, sort of like a picture frame; adjusting the flap’s tilt in turn alters the viewing angle of the laptop screen. There’s a removable plastic window to the left of the flap that opens up to reveal a built-in USB 2.0 cable that powers the Cooling System’s fans.
To the left of the keyboard are three additional ports: there’s a micro USB port for connecting the keyboard and touchpad to your laptop (via the included USB 2.0 cable), as well as two available USB 2.0 ports for connecting additional peripherals. Annoyingly, the micro USB port and the built-in USB cable are both located on the Cooling Station’s left side, so if there aren’t any USB ports on the left side of your laptop, it’ll take some patience and creativity to hook the Cooling System to your Laptop; this problem is exacerbated by the fact that both the included USB cable and the built-in cable are only 21 inches long and, consequently, offer very little slack.
Performance
Although the Sharper Image Cooling Station’s three cooling fans performed decently and succeeded in lowering my laptop’s temperature by 2 degrees Celsius after a few minutes, its built-in keyboard and touchpad must also be considered since the three are inextricably linked and, in appraising the item holistically, the good must also be evaluated in addition to the bad. And, man, there’s plenty of that going on here.
Despite Sharper Image’s claims that the Cooling Station increases productivity, I found the opposite to be true in actual practice. The combination of a tiny palm rest that forces your hands off the edges and flimsy plastic material made typing on the Cooling Station’s built-in keyboard an exceedingly difficult and frustrating endeavor. While the Cooling Station’s keyboard succeeds in emulating the MacBook Pro’s aesthetic, it doesn’t come anywhere near the latter in terms of quality and performance. The Cooling Station’s stiff and clacky keys are almost entirely devoid of springiness. Unlike the better, equally portable Evoluent Essentials Keyboard (EKB), there are no hot keys whatsoever. Only the most basic keys are here. Even standard, fairly ubiquitous function keys like screen brightness and volume control haven’t been included. These omissions paradoxically force you to return to your laptop’s now-vertically positioned keyboard to access these keys even while another keyboard sits directly in front of you, thus begging the question: why even bother using this keyboard at all, especially when your laptop almost invariably comes equipped with a better one? Those looking for a portable keyboard to use in addition to their laptop’s would be much better served by the significantly cheaper Verbatim Mini Wireless SlimBoard Keyboard & Mouse ($30 street, 3 stars), which also boasts wireless connectivity, or the Evoluent Essentials (EKB) since it’s practically the same size as the Cooling Station’s built-in keyboard and also sports hot keys that would actually succeed in increasing productivity.
It doesn’t help that the keyboard lacks rigidity and give off an overwhelming sensation of cheapness. The shallow area where the keys are located feels disconcertingly hollow, and typing on it with a normal level of intensity yielded a noticeable amount of bending beneath the weight of rapid keystrokes. Overall, the Cooling Station made for an unpleasant typing experience. The cramped keyboard served as a prelude to the even more cramped and equally limited touchpad. Its responsiveness was average at best and its left- and right- click buttons were stiff and clunky. As mentioned earlier, there aren’t any multi-touch capabilities on the touchpad. As was the case with the Cooling Station’s keyboard, you’d very likely be better off using your laptop’s touchpad, or with a mouse-keyboard combination like the Verbatim Mini Wireless SlimBoard Keyboard & Mouse or its full-sized counterpart, the Verbatim Wireless Slim Keyboard and Mouse ($63.00 direct, 3 stars).
In the end, the Sharper Image Cooling Station’s lack of focus seals its fate. It’s a cooling system that harbors aspirations of being a keyboard, and it consequently performs poorly as whole. Even if it didn’t come with an inflated price tag, its odd design and lackluster keyboard and touchpad make for a strange, entirely half-baked product you’re better off avoiding.
Go for the automated tie rack instead.

Poultry and Penis Cancer | NutritionFacts.org
One of the reasons it?s so difficult to study the relationship between diet and cancer is because many dietary behaviors are associated with non-dietary behaviors. For example, one of the reasons we used to think coffee-drinking caused cancer was because people who drink coffee are more likely to have a cigarette in the other hand, which led to spurious conclusions. When you factor in those considerations, we find that coffee consumption may actually decrease cancer risk, as I detailed in Coffee and Cancer.
The reason it was so difficult to study cancer among coffee-drinkers is the same reason it?s so difficult to study cancer among meateaters. Historically, those eating vegetarian have been noted to have lower cancer rates, but maybe it?s just because they exercise more, or smoke less, or inhale less diesel fumes because they all own a Prius 
In my 3 min. video Vegetarians Versus Healthy Omnivores I profiled new data that attempts to control for non-dietary factors by effectively comparing vegetarians only to meateaters who are as slim as vegetarians, exercise as much, smoke as little, and even eat roughly the same amount of fruits and vegetables. After all, maybe the reason vegetarians have been shown to be healthier is less about eating less meat, and more about eating more plants. Though these rigorous controls undercut key vegetarian advantages, such as lower obesity rates, even when vegetarians were compared in effect only to healthy meateaters with healthier diets, researchers still found ?the incidence of all cancers combined was lower among vegetarians.?
The most striking difference between the dietary groups was in the risk for cancers of the blood and bone marrow, such as non-Hodgkins lymphoma, various leukemias, and myeloma (more details in my 2 min. video EPIC Findings on Lymphoma). Chicken consumption appeared the most hazardous, associated with up to triple the cancer rates for every 50 grams of daily poultry consumption?that?s just a quarter of a chicken breast worth!
Why was there so much more lymphoma and leukemia risk among those eating just a small serving of chicken a day? As detailed in my 2 min. video Chicken Dioxins, Viruses, or Antibiotics?, the association between poultry and cancer may be explained by the presence in chickens? and turkeys? flesh of drugs that were fed to the birds, industrial carcinogens such as dioxins, and/or the presence of oncogenic (cancer-causing) viruses.
In Poultry and Penis Cancer I present the largest study to date on poultry workers and cancer mortality, which found a whopping 8-fold increased risk of dying from penile cancer compared to controls, a finding thought due to chicken virus exposure, raising broader food safety concerns. If chickens can be infected with viruses linked to cancer in consumers, then what about eggs? Find out in Carcinogenic Retrovirus Found in Eggs.
These cancer-causing viruses found in chicken and eggs are utterly destroyed by proper cooking, so the primary risk of infection would presumably be associated with cross-contamination, such as when mixing cake batter, handling raw poultry, or even just touching meat in the supermarket.

Advertising Study Evolves -Paid Surveys Come Of Age …
Up until the 20th century, getting and marketing was easy. Corporations had been mainly neighborhood which allowed for a shut romantic relationship amongst suppliers and consumers. Competition was non-existent as well as the viewpoint of customers was felt to become irrelevant.
The rapid developments through the Industrial Revolution rapidly altered enterprise operations from a seller?s industry to a buyer?s market. Early promoting students had been educated as economists, schooled within the principle that need was related to getting power. Having said that, it grew to become apparent that demand was considerably much more complex compared to economic capability to purchase and that desire experienced develop into an issue in organization.
New concepts in advertising proved that purchasing desires may be magnified and shaped by components beyond mere availability of merchandise. Prolonged markets allowed higher production of items and transportation selections quickly taught companies they needed to understand details about consumers to be in a position to compete.
Together with the contemporary market place being fiercely competitive, companies right now possess a higher need than ever before to monitor the pulse of customers. Even so, the busy lifestyles of customers in general created it additional complicated for corporations to engage folks in telephone and direct mail surveys. Shoppers perceived which they were becoming provided a sales-pitch vs . taking part in impartial investigation. And who has time for that?
The web age launched easy access to buyers for marketing scientists. They could attain both common buyers and small business consumers quickly by posting their surveys on line; however, there was still the issue of enticing men and women to choose the time to participate.
Over the many years, client science and market study have progressed collectively into a finely-honed craft. Organizations invest over $250B globally in an work to persuade people today to get their solutions and solutions. Of that quantity, more than $750M goes for market analysis by yourself.
Being the savvy bunch that they may be, promoting scientists finally grasped the notion of providing customers anything of worth in return for their time and participation vs . inquiring people to participate only for the sake of supplying their thoughts to assist businesses in tailoring their goods and solutions. To meet their very own ever escalating needs for consumer information and facts they started supplying various incentives in exchange for time.
Customer survey incentives variety from entry into drawings for cash costs, factors awards which can be collected and redeemed for merchandise as well as cash payments to members. Specialized surveys for specialists like individuals in the IT business generally spend very nicely. Researchers also pay consumers to participate in custom-made research by means of which they are able to learn about their perceptions of precise products and/or services.
In addition to paid incentives, some marketing and advertising research corporations supply individuals free items for sampling. They forward new products to customers to attempt with the agreement the client will later present an evaluation of the item. After attempting the item, customers complete an online survey sharing their expertise using the item and indicating whether or not or not they?d obtain it on their very own. Check products can variety anyplace from home cleaners, snack meals, health/beauty products and all the way as much as electronics. In lots of instances, members are allowed to help keep the merchandise at no charge.
By using advantage of compensated industry study offers, customers can basically earn a part-time or even full-time earnings, based on the quantity of time they devote and the quantity of analysis panels during which they participate. This has verified a productive source of supplemental revenue for stay-at-home mothers, little organization owners, retirees and college college students. Basically by signing up at paid out study web web sites and checking their e-mail for survey invites, they can make additional money and incentives frequently.
Another benefit of earning extra money by signing up for Internet-based research panels is convenience. Members can respond to study invites 24/7 that is a lot a lot easier than wanting to perform a 2nd or part-time job.
Market researchers also understand that smaller firms will be the pulse with the American economy. Using the emphasis in present-day markets having shifted mainly from that of items for the provider sector, scientists always have a demand for opinions and specifics of getting practices of modest small business proprietors.
Compact organization proprietors and work-from-home experts can have an important impact and can form the quality of merchandise and services offered to them by participating in on the web surveys. This will allow them to inform companies specifically what instead of wishing that someone out there will finally deliver what they need to have.
Moreover, they will be rewarded for the time they commit. The notion of compensated surveys makes it a win/win situation for each sides. Be aware that the industry study job is essentially reputable but you will discover some Online internet sites which might be a fraud. By no means spend a sign-up charge for receiving information and facts about out there surveys.
Don?t forget that you have a thing marketplace researchers worth: your encounter and opinions as being a buyer. Use that information to negotiate participation in investigation surveys and you?ll improve your life-style and income.

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Brian McNamee says some of the medical evidence he saved in a beer can was not used on baseball pitcher Roger Clemens.
McNamee is the main prosecution witness in the case against Clemens, who’s accused of lying to Congress when he denied using performance-enhancing drugs. McNamee testified this week that he injected the seven-time Cy Young Award winner with steroids and human growth hormone.
McNamee has said he stored medical evidence from shooting Clemens with steroids in 2001. But under cross-examination, he acknowledged that some of the items were not in fact used on Clemens, such as a needle to inject human growth hormone.
McNamee, Clemens’ former strength and conditioning coach, also testified that a pin included in the beer can might not have been used on Clemens. He said it was either used on Clemens or another player, whom he did not name.
