Forty-five days after police in Sanford, Fla., released neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman without charges after he shot an unarmed black teenager, a special Florida prosecutor has charged him with second-degree murder.
News that Mr. Zimmerman was in custody in Florida capped an emotional and tense three weeks that raised questions about racial injustice and sparked a fiery national debate about Florida's landmark Stand Your Ground self-defense law, which prosecutors acknowledge they may still have to contend with in the case.
Amid massive public pressure and attention from the White House and the Justice Department, special state prosecutor Angela Corey announced Wednesday that the state was charging Zimmerman, a 28-year-old former altar boy going to school to become a police officer, for his role in Trayvon Martin's death.
Saying her decision had nothing to do with public pressure, Ms. Corey said she believes prosecutors have evidence to prove that Zimmerman did not act in self-defense under the state's Stand Your Ground law. A charge of second-degree murder involves the claim that death was caused by dangerous conduct and an obvious lack of concern for human life. Florida law requires a minimum punishment of 25 years and a maximum of life in prison without parole if convicted.
"We have to have reasonable certainty of conviction any time we file charges," said Corey. "If Stand Your Ground is an issue, we'll fight it."
Sanford police released Zimmerman on the night of the shooting, believing they didn't have probable cause given his self-defense claim and physical evidence – including blood on nose and back of his head – that he had defended himself.
But Corey said the case "changed course" amid a public outcry over the Sanford Police Department's assertion that there would be no arrest, and as Gov. Rick Scott appointed her three weeks ago to lead the investigation.
"The Supreme Court has defined our role as not only ministers of justice, but seekers of truth, and we stay true to that mission," said Corey, who said she had prayed with the Martin family at their first meeting three weeks ago, though she had not promised them that any charges would be filed.
Given the tension over the case in Sanford, officials in Seminole County – where the special prosecutor is based –remained on high alert ahead of Wednesday's announcement. On Monday, an empty police cruiser was riddled with bullets near where Trayvon was shot. Corey said Zimmerman was being held in an undisclosed location for his safety and the safety of others.
"I trust in the goodness of all Florida citizens to allow justice system to reach appropriately conclusion in this case," Governor Scott said.
According to Martin's family, the arrest is the first step toward closure. They have urged police to arrest Zimmerman, alleging that the outcome would have been different had a black man shot a white man. Thousands of people have marched, many of them wearing a similar hoodie to what Trayvon was wearing the night he died. More than a million people signed a petition for police to arrest Zimmerman on the Change.org website.
"We simply wanted arrest, nothing more, nothing less, and we got it, and I say thank you, thank you Lord, thank you, Jesus," Trayvon's mother, Sybrina Fulton, said. "Secondly, I just want to speak from my heart to your heart, because a heart has no color. It's not black, it's not white, it's red. Thank you from my heart to your heart. "
The shooting of an unarmed black boy in a place where he had a right to be played into the fears of black parents and clawed at deep-seated suspicions that black people in the US still struggle for equal justice under the law.
"As a parent, I reacted to it," said Attorney General Eric Holder, who is black. "This is a pain that no parent should have to endure. I think there was also a reaction based on issues we have faced in this nation over time, this has brought to the surface many of those issues."
Yet other Americans say it's the shooter, Zimmerman, who has become a victim of racial politics and a public-relations campaign carefully orchestrated to "poison the jury pool," in the words of Dave Kopel, research analyst at the Independence Institute in Golden, Colo.
The Daily Caller website has reported that a member of Zimmerman's family this week sent a letter to Attorney General Holder, asking why police had not arrested members of the New Black Panther Party who had put a bounty on Zimmerman's head, not so subtly suggesting racial hypocrisy on the part of top law enforcement officials.
In the weeks since Trayvon's death, various 911 calls, security videos and witness reports have pieced together a narrative of a misbegotten and ultimately tragic encounter between two strangers inside the Retreat at Twin Lakes subdivision. What remain murky are a crucial two minutes spanning the time when Zimmerman hung up the phone with a 911 dispatcher and when neighbors called police to report screams and a gunshot.
Martin's family, citing a voice heard screaming on one of the 911 tapes and a conversation Trayvon was having with a girlfriend as he walked down the street, say Zimmerman disobeyed a dispatcher's suggestion not to pursue Trayvon, putting the teenager in a position where he felt threatened and ultimately in fear for his life. Zimmerman told police that he had returned to his car when he was attacked by Trayvon.
Indeed, one potential legal question likely weighed by prosecutors reviewing the case is whether it was actually Trayvon who legally stood his ground in order to confront an armed stranger approaching him in a threatening manner, says Joelle Anne Moreno, a law professor at Florida International University.
Florida passed the first Stand Your Ground law in 2005, enshrining the legal idea that peaceable citizens have no duty to retreat from danger, even in a public place, and are allowed to protect themselves with deadly force if they have a reasonable fear for their life or grievous bodily injury. Proponents of the laws say it's a simple formalization of common law, while critics say the law – some version of which has been adopted by 30 states – changed the basic social compact and diminished the value of human life.
After Zimmerman is arraigned, the next major legal step is for a judge to make a determination about whether the state's Stand Your Ground law applies in this case. At that point, a judge could give Zimmerman immunity from prosecution, barring a jury from hearing the case.
"Right now, we're on first base in this game of justice," Ben Crump, the family's attorney, said. "We've got to deal with this Stand Your Ground issue, we've got to get to third base, which is the trial ... and then we can bring it around home to justice."

So out of curiosity, I ransacked my place, looking for every single Packer item I own. It took longer than I thought. Once everything was collected, I busted out my DROID RAZR M and its 8 megapixel camera with LED flash and 1080 HD video capability for a shot. The good people at Verizon and Motorola have put enough into this camera that I have no qualms about selling my digital camera on eBay. Also, that "snap" sound in each shot is awesome. Makes you want to keep taking pictures. I took a ton of pictures, but felt the one that showed everything was most impactful. What you see here is every Packer item I have accumulated since I can remember.
|I Own 16 Packer Things. Not Bad.
2. Aaron Rodgers jersey. Supposedly it's an authentic jersey although I have my doubts. If it's a knock off, it's a beautifully stitched knock off. Bought this a couple years ago in a wholesale purchase order with some other people. I've worn it to one game – the one where Favre beat us at Lambeau. Not a good day. My bad, people. I will probably give it away this year in a contest since I'm not much of a jersey guy.
3. ACME Packers hat. When these things were scorching-hot commodities, good friend Franklin Hillside was kind enough to surprise me with this at a game we attended. Thanks, buddy!
4 & 5. The Home and Away #12 Championship Belt Buckles. Very special items, as I designed them myself and had them manufactured. These will likely be passed down. Related note: I had a gorgeous Roger Maris rookie card I sold to help pay for the costs of creating. No regrets.
6. Standard "G" winter cap. I somehow ended up with this but if belonged to my dad. Thanks, Pop!
7. Vintage Packers sticker from the 60s. Again, what's become somewhat of an annual tradition of exchanging Packers items, this is yet another gem gifted to me from Franklin Hillside.
8. Lambeau Field Framed Stadium print. I won employee of the quarter (that's quarter, people, not just month) and was awarded a sweet gift card to the Packers Pro Shop. I used it to help purchase this beauty, which proudly hangs in my basement.
9. ACME Packers hat. There's so much cool stuff at the Pro Shop that I purchased this hat along with the print. It's my favorite hat. Period.
10. Throwback Clay Matthews shirt. Impulse purchase I've now worn enough that holes are starting to appear. I wore this when I met Tom Crabtree for TBWI and was offered $50 and a 6th round pick for it at a fantasy football draft. Not happening, Brew City Blasters.
11. 80's Packers mug. This is my go-to coffee cup on Sunday mornings for the last few years. Like #6, I somehow ended up with it from my parents. Shhh....
12. Got Driver? shirt. This was the first Packer gift I ever received from Franklin in 2008 I believe. DD was my favorite player for a looooong time and I probably talked about him a little too much. I wore this shirt to the game against SF when #80 had the catch of his career. I ripped open my coat and stuck out my chest like Superman to the crowd. One of my all-time favorite moments at Lambeau. Here's the catch.
13. Packers mug. Great for the morning commute given to me by my parents for X-Mas. Dishwasher safe, which is always nice.
14. Packers mug. I bought some hot chocolate for a pretty young lady who I took to a game in '08. I was going to toss the cup when she was finished but she wanted to keep it. Never thought it would hold up as long as it has. Kudos, pretty young lady.
15. Packers zip-up fleece. Gift from my parents last year. I wear this to work a lot and get compliments galore. Nice pickup, Mom.
16. Packers pajama pants. They're almost Zubas-like in their sweetness and comfortableness. Wear these often in the winter. Gift from a family member.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention this one on my pooch, Maggie, aka the "Orange Nipper" aka the "Hairy Beastmaster." Note the Packers collar, given to me by a friend.
|The Hairy Beastmaster. Representing.
Like I said, I believe I'm as die-hard Packer fan as anyone I know. I may not have a Packers stock certificate or a green leather couch, but I've been to 20+ games and experience each and every game and season with the same roller coaster of emotion as you do. Perhaps it's a testament to my Packer pride with all the gifts I've received over the years. It's a pretty safe bet.
So whether you have 2 or 20 or 200 things, whether you spend $20 or $2000 or more, to me, being a die-hard Packer fan comes down to how hard you cheer and how loyal you are no matter what the score. And if you couldn't imagine rooting for another team other than the Packers, you're probably die-hard.
Oh yeah, I also have a Packers website. Make that 18.
Disclosure: I am participating in the Verizon Wireless Midwest Fans program and have been provided with a wireless device and five months of service in exchange for my honest opinions about the product.

Particle Filters for Position Sensing with Asynchronous Ultrasonic Beacons
Autoren: Henk L. Muller, Michael McCarthy, Cliff Randell
Verlag: Springer Berlin Heidelberg
In this paper we present a user-centric position sensing system that is based on asynchronous, independent ultrasonic beacons. These stationary transmitter units are small, cheap to manufacture, and have power requirements low enough to run each from a small solar cell and a nearby light source. Each beacon is programmed to emit a short, 40 kHz ultrasonic signal with a unique transmission period. The mobile receiver unit first associates a received signal with a beacon based on the observed periodicity, then measures the Doppler shift in the periodicity that results from movements of the receiver. Using Doppler shifts from a number of different beacons, the receiver is able to estimate both its position and velocity by employing a particle filter. In this paper, we describe our positioning algorithm, the hardware, and proof-of-concept results.

Hi, since around 1.5 half years i am integrating Updates into our Windows Image at our Company. However i have noticed that even when all the latest Updates are integrated after installing the OS it shows a few ".NET Framework" Updates that couldn't be integrated (see Attachment). A year ago it were only around 10, now around 15. So its getting more and more, it hinders the usfulness of the Slipstreaming process a bit.
Did anyone of you find a way to integrate this pesky ".NET" Updates into the Image?
Thanks for the help.

Indian police find bodies of 4 missing traders
GAUHATI, India (AP) — Police on Sunday fired rubber bullets and used batons to disperse hundreds of villagers protesting the abductions and killings of four Muslim traders in India's remote northeast, where ethnic tensions run high.
The protesters defied a curfew and beat up one police officer in Baksa district in Assam state, said Magistrate Vinod Seshan.
The traders were abducted on Friday and their bodies recovered Sunday. No one has claimed responsibility for the killings.
The villagers later retreated into their homes as army and paramilitary soldiers intensified patrols.
The region was rocked by violence in May when 45 people were killed after gunmen from the Bodo tribe set Muslim homes ablaze and fired at civilians.
The Bodos accuse Muslims of entering India illegally from neighboring Bangladesh.
A faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland, which is fighting for a separate homeland for the ethnic Bodo people for decades, denied police allegations that it had kidnapped the four traders.
In a statement, the group said the abductions were the outcome of local disputes in the Bodo heartland.
The National Democratic Front of Bodoland has split into three groups. Two of them are holding talks with the government for a peaceful settlement of their demand. However, one faction is still fighting in the region.
