"I took all of the screams and put those together, and cut out everything else. …As a result of that [voice analysis], you can say with reasonable scientific certainty that it’s not Zimmerman."
–Tom Owen, biometric voice analysis expert • Speaking to the Orlando Sentinel, on his assessment of a 911 audio recording featuring sounds of screaming during the Trayvon Martin incident. In an interview with Piers Morgan earlier this week (which generated some heat from MSNBC’s Touré), George Zimmerman’s brother Robert insisted that the screaming on the tape was that of his brother. Owen, an expert in biometric voice analysis, says that’s not so, after isolating the screams and testing them against the sound of Zimmerman’s voice on his initial 9/11 call reporting Martin to the police. He was careful to add, however, that he can’t prove or disprove it’s Martin’s voice, as he has no audio sample of the teen with which to compare. A second voice analysis, by a different expert commissioned by the Sentinel, reached the same conclusion. source (via • follow)

Members of the University of Southern Mississippi band chanted racist taunts at a hispanic Kansas State player during the schools’ NCAA tournament game on Thursday.
After point guard Angel Rodriguez was fouled late in the first half of the second-round game, a few band members showered the freshman with cries of “where’s your green card?”
“We deeply regret the remarks made by a few students at today’s game,” she wrote in a statement issued two hours after the game. “The words of these individuals do not represent the sentiments of our pep band, athletic department or university. We apologize to Mr. Rodriquez (sic) and will take quick and appropriate disciplinary action against the students involved in this isolated incident.”
Rodriguez was spelled incorrectly in the original draft.
As if things could get any more ignorant, the basis for the band’s racism was itself misguided. Rodriguez was born in Puerto Rico, a commonwealth of the United States. Even if he hadn’t grown up in Miami and starred for a high school basketball team in that city, he’d still be an American citizen and have no need for a green card. Ignorant ignorance; it’s the best kind.
Rodriguez and K-State had the last laugh. The Wildcats defeated Southern Miss, 70-64.
"–Southern Miss Band Chants “Where’s Your Green Card?” to Puerto Rican Kansas State Player.
Pathetic ignorant asshats.
