George Zimmerman Released on Bail, Will Await Trial in Undisclosed Location


George Zimmerman has been released from a Florida jail at midnight this morning after posting $150,000 bond. Charged with second-degree murder, he will now be living in a secret location as he awaits trial for the death of Trayvon Martin.

Zimmerman exited the John E. Polk Correctional Facility (JEPCF) at the Seminole County Sheriff's Office fitted with an electronic monitoring device.

The GPS device, which can pinpoint an offender's whereabouts at any given time, will be monitored by the SCSO and Seminole County Probation.

Reports indicate that he may be allowed to leave the state, which is unusual in a murder case, but is arguably necessary for his own security.

At his bond hearing on Friday morning, Judge Kenneth Lester agreed to allow George Zimmerman to post a $150,000 bond and leave jail pending trial.

The prosecution had argued that Zimmerman should be denied bail or that it should be set at $1 million, but Lester disagreed on both accounts.

Bail is rarely denied altogether unless the defendant is considered dangerous or a flight risk, which he is not (especially with the ankle monitor).

Zimmerman also stunned the court Friday by taking the stand and apologizing to Trayvon Martin's family, who were sitting in the courtroom.

"I am sorry for the loss of your son. I did not know how old he was. I thought he was a little bit younger than I am," the 28-year-old said.

"I did not know if he was armed or not."

Zimmerman told police the night he shot and killed Trayvon Martin that he was acting in self-defense after Martin punched him and pounced on him.

Zimmerman told police that Martin then bashed his head into the concrete sidewalk during the altercation that took place in Sanford, Fla.

A bloody photo of George Zimmerman's head taken right after the attack surfaced last week, perhaps bolstering his self-defense claim.

Still, his actions that night remain questionable enough for the D.A. to bring second-degree murder charges in the death of Martin, 17.

Skype for Windows Phone sheds beta title, graduates to v1.0

Skype's fledgling Windows Phone app broke out of beta today, adding contact searching and landline calling to it's VOIP repertoire. The update comes just shy of two months of the Beta's introduction in February, and boasts a handful of minor improvements that should keep your calls connected. You'll still be making those calls yourself, however, as the full version doesn't yet have support for receiving calls in the background -- if the app isn't running, your phone isn't ringing.

Melissa Forde Is Rihanna?s Lady Date!

Melissa Forde recently enjoyed a night out with Rihanna that was confirmed as a real date by the singer herself. Normally when stories like this hit, they are nothing but rumors and speculation. Lucky for us, Rihanna used Twitter to clarify things for everyone. She called Forde her ?lover for the night,? and even wrote:   ?I’m on my first date in almost 2 yearz?   Not only that, but these two have been together before.   This time around they grabbed a bite to eat at Malibu’s Giorgio Baldi, then headed over to Hollywood’s famed Roxbury nightclub for a night of partying.   Rihanna seemed excited about the whole thing and sent a few different Tweets throughout the night, including one that made it clear that they are a little bit more than friends:   ?Beautiful is great, submissive is even better. Bawse b***h who’s submissive yet the captain of the ship n HONEST…#priceless #marryME?But she bad… So maybe she won’t…. But s**t, then again maybe she will.”   Go ahead and try to figure out what the heck that means if you want. The only thing I can get from it is that they are pretty into each [...]

Doctors develop life-saving drugs from coral reefs

The chemicals that help corals and sponges survive are also helping people. Halaven, a drug derived from a sea sponge compound came on the market in Nov. 2010, and has improved survival among women who have metastatic breast cancer. NBC's Anne Thompson reports.

KEY WEST -- The kaleidoscope of life in the coral reefs under the turquoise waters of the Florida Keys is a magnet for tourists, but it?s not just a pretty view.

The same chemistry that helps corals and sponges survive is also helping people fight cancer.

?What we?re doing is taking advantage of that chemistry and turning those chemicals into drugs to save lives,? said Stephanie Wear, director of coral reef conservation at the Nature Conservancy.

Wear describes the reefs as the "New York City" of the oceans, ?where everything is happening,? because it is 400 to 600 times more likely to find a source for a drug in the ocean than on land -- and the densely packed coral reefs are an even more plentiful source.

But climate change and waterway pollution threaten the sea life that house these healing properties.

?The [coral reef] population is diminished by about 90 percent across the Caribbean,? said James Byrne, the marine science program manager at the Nature Conservancy.

With corals under siege, scientists at the Nature Conservancy have created coral farms --- currently supporting more than 30,000 corals across Florida and the U.S. Virgin Islands -- to sustainably harvest the life-saving properties of the reef.

?We?re taking these corals and growing them out in nurseries just like a tree farm would and replanting them back on the reef and doing it in a way that we?re really maximizing that potential for reproduction in the future,? said Byrne.

In the clear waters of the Florida Keys, scientists glue some of the corals to cinder blocks on the ocean floor, and hang others from a rope resembling a laundry line, allowing them to float in the water.? Eventually, they hope to put out up to 4,000 corals a year ? all to battle some of the worst diseases known to humankind: cancer, leukemia, AIDS -- and perhaps even Lupus, Alzheimer?s, and Parkinson?s.

The Staghorn coral population has been decimated by warming oceans and disease. The Nature Conservancy scuba team is working to regrow coral in nurseries on the ocean floor.

Arden O'Connor, a 34-year-old who lives in Boston, Mass., beat leukemia with help from Ara-C, a chemotherapy drug originally derived from sea sponges that thrive in the coral reefs.

Without it, O'Connor said, she could have died at age 26.?

?I?ve spent most of my life swimming in the ocean but absolutely didn?t assume it would have anything to do with my cancer,? said O?Connor, who has been cancer-free for seven years. ?

Halaven, another drug also derived from a sea sponge, came on the market in Nov. 2010, and has improved survival among women who have metastatic breast cancer.

?Without the reefs and without doing that biodiversity conservation, we have no starting points,? said Dr. Edward Suh, who develops new drugs at Japanese pharmaceutical company Eisai, the lab that produces Halaven.

Caption: The Earth's oceans are natural medicine chests and scientists derive medications from sea sponges to treat diseases like breast cancer. Dr. Linda Vahdat, Director of the Breast Cancer Research Program at Weill Cornell Medical College, discusses Halaven, a new cancer drug.

Using the chemicals present in the sea sponge saves time during the drug production process, he added.?

?In order to make this natural product a drug by synthesis, we would require over 60 steps,? he said. ?And the typical drug is about 10 steps or less.?

For many doctors, the drug has proven to be an exciting option for their patients.

?Sometimes patients are interested in where the drugs come from ? and it?s interesting because when you mention to them that it?s derived from a natural product they seem to be a little bit better with the concept of getting these types of therapies,? said Dr. Linda Vahdat, the director of the breast cancer research program at Weill Cornell Medical College. ?For millennia there have been natural products used to treat tumors and we know it from the ancient Egyptian writings -- and certainly moving into contemporary space we use a lot of natural products to treat our patients with breast cancer.?

NBC's Mario Garcia contributed to this report.
