Magazine slips in a free T-Mobile WiFi hotspot, courtesy of Microsoft (video)

Microsoft has tried more than a few publicity stunts to get us using Office 365, including WiFi hotspots in UK park benches. A magazine with a hotspot, however, is fresh -- and might just get us to notice the ads we normally skip. Americans who've received a special issue of Forbes have flipped past the articles to discover a fully functional (if stripped down) T-Mobile router tucked into a cardboard insert. Once activated, it dishes out 15 days of free WiFi for up to five devices at once, at up to three hours per charge. Microsoft is naturally hoping that we'll see the value of always being in the cloud and pony up for an Office 365 subscription, but we're sure that many will just relish having an access point while they're reading on the train home -- it sure beats settling for a Twitter feed.

Arizona's Gov. Brewer says she needs border help

Power Players

As the Senate moves to consider the ?Gang of 8? immigration reform bill, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer is calling on the federal government to do more to secure her state?s border, which she refers to as ?the gateway for the criminal element."

Brewer says the federal government has given increased security resources, ranging from electronic surveillance to fencing, to other border states, while ignoring such requests for Arizona.

?We don't understand why the federal government will do that for other states, but they refuse to do it in Arizona,? Brewer says in an interview with ABC's Senior National Correspondent Jim Avila. ?I am not going to sit back and be the governor of the state of Arizona and not make a position for Arizona to the federal government that our border needs to be secured. It's as simple as that.?

The "Gang of 8" bill now before the Senate promises to provide more resources for border security, if passed, but Brewer says she won't be supportive of the legislation, which also provides a path to citizenship for the estimated 10-12 million people currently living in the United States illegally, until she and ranchers living along the border are convinced the border is secure.

?They had a good relationship with immigrants coming across working on their ranches and going back and um very comfortable?and things have changed,? Brewer says of the ranchers along the border. ?They don't feel safe, they feel very insecure. They don't believe that the border is secured, their wives, their children, they're very, very guarded.?

When asked how she would reply if a one of the ?Gang of 8? senators were to call her, Brewer replies: ?If they were to call me today, I would say our border is not secure, and I would not be in a position to support their measure.?

To hear more of the interview with the governor of Arizona, including her explanation on why she believes those people who came to the United States should be labeled as ?illegal immigrants,? check out this episode of Power Players.

Aunt: Boston bombings suspect struggled with Islam

MAKHACHKALA, Russia (AP) ? The elder suspect in the Boston bombings regularly attended a mosque and spent time learning to read the Quran, but he struggled to fit in during a trip to his ancestral homeland in southern Russia last year, his aunt said.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev seemed more American than Chechen and "did not fit into the Muslim life" in Russia's Caucasus, Patimat Suleimanova told The Associated Press. She said when Tsarnaev arrived in January 2012, he wore a winter hat with a little pompom, something no local man would wear, and "we made him take it off."

Tsarnaev and his younger brother are accused of setting off the two bombs at the Boston Marathon on April 15 that killed three people and wounded more than 200. Tsarnaev, 26, was killed in a gun battle with police. His 19-year-old brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was later captured alive, but badly wounded.

On Monday, two U.S. officials said preliminary evidence from an interrogation suggests the brothers were motivated by religion but were apparently not tied to any Islamic terrorist groups. The U.S. officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the investigation.

U.S. investigators are focusing on the six months Tamerlan Tsarnaev spent last year in two predominantly Muslim Russian provinces, Dagestan and Chechnya, to see if he was radicalized by the region's militants who have waged a low-level insurgency against Russian security forces for years.

After returning from Russia, Tsarnaev made his presence known at a Boston-area mosque, where his outbursts interrupted two sermons that encouraged Muslims to celebrate American institutions such as the July 4 Independence Day and figures like Martin Luther King Jr., according to the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center. During one incident congregants shouted at him, telling him to leave, the center said in a statement released Monday.

The Tsarnaev family moved to the United States a decade ago, but the suspects' parents are now in Russia. Their father said he hopes to go to the United States this week to seek "justice and the truth."

Suleimanova, who wore a pea-green headscarf, said her nephew prayed regularly and studied the Muslim holy book. "He needed this. This was a necessity for him," she said.

Every day, using Skype, he spoke to his American-born wife, who had recently converted to Islam, and at times she instructed him on how to observe religious practices correctly when he lapsed, Suleimanova said Sunday from her home in Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan. She said her nephew was considering bringing his wife to Dagestan.

His parents insist he spent much of his time visiting relatives in his mother's and father's extended families in Dagestan and Chechnya, but details of his whereabouts are vague and contradictory. His father says Tsarnaev stayed with him in Makhachkala, regularly sleeping late.

His aunt, however, said neither of Tsarnaev's parents was in Russia when he arrived. One reason his father came last year, Suleimanova said, was to make sure his elder son returned to the United States. It was not clear when his father or mother arrived. His mother was arrested in the U.S. in June on charges of shoplifting.

Tsarnaev's father explained his son's trip by saying he needed to get a new Russian passport. But an official with the federal migration service in Dagestan said Monday that Tsarnaev had applied for a new passport in July, but never picked it up, the Interfax news agency reported. Tsarnaev returned to the U.S. on July 17.

His mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, told the AP that her son greatly enjoyed his time with her relatives, but never traveled to her native village in a mountainous region of Dagestan, which is a hotbed of an ultraconservative strain of Islam known as Wahabbism. Wahabbism was introduced to the Caucasus in the 1990s by preachers and teachers from Saudi Arabia.

The mother said her relatives now all live in Makhachkala and the town of Kaspiisk. She refused to say which mosque her son frequented, but Tsarnaev's parents and aunt firmly denied that he met with militants or fell under the sway of religious extremists.

"He used to say, 'I want to go somewhere in the mountains, to be all by myself, to escape from everyday life, to be alone,'" Suleimanova said.

The suspects' father, Anzor Tsarnaev, said he intends to travel to the U.S. "I want normal justice," he said. "I have many questions for the police. You know, I am a lawyer myself and I want to clear up many things. .... I want justice and the truth."

The family said he wants to bring Tsarnaev's body back to Russia.

The Constitution and terrorism: Why suspect never heard his rights

Lyle Denniston looks at the issues of Miranda warnings, Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, Tsarnaev?s protections under the Constitution?s Fifth Amendment, and the public safety exception.

The statement at issue:

?The police can interrogate a suspect without offering him the benefit of Miranda [warnings] if he could have information that?s of urgent concern for public safety.? That may or may not be the case with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.? The problem is that Attorney General Eric Holder has stretched the law beyond that scenario.?

?? Emily Bazelon, a columnist for Slate.com, in an article on April 19, ?Why Should I Care That No One?s Reading Dzhokhar Tsarnaev His Miranda Rights???

?[As of Saturday night] Authorities have not read him his Miranda rights, which include the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. Federal law enforcement officials said they plan to use a public safety exception, outlined in a 1984 Supreme Court decision, ?in order to question the suspect extensively about other potential explosive devices or accomplices and to gain critical intelligence.??

?? Washington Post story on April 21, by reporters Joel Achenbach and Robert Barnes, ?Authorities seek answers in Boston Marathon bombing.

We checked the Constitution, and?

Some three decades ago, the Supreme Court for the first time gave police and federal agents the authority to avoid giving criminal suspects Miranda warnings about their constitutional rights, when the public safety justified that suspension.? That authority, given in the 1984 decision of New York v. Quarles, has since been expanded by lower courts so that, even if a suspect has claimed the right to remain silent or the right to a lawyer, the questioning can go on if the public safety threat remains.

How long such questioning can continue, and what kinds of questions can be asked, is now the source of considerable uncertainty, as officials have developed interrogation policies they think are necessary in dealing with terrorist incidents.? But one thing does remain certain: the Constitution still requires that the police not use outright coercion in order to get answers even to the most pressing questions.?? If authorities want to use the evidence that they gain by such questioning, that evidence must have been given voluntarily.

In the case of the 19-year-old suspected of bombing the Boston Marathon and other crimes after that, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, there is no doubt that he has some protection under the Constitution?s Fifth Amendment against being forced to implicate himself.? He is a U.S. citizen, so he has the legal shield of the Constitution.? (On April 2, we discussed the rights during terrorism investigations of suspects who are not U.S. citizens; those rights may differ.)

The night that Tsarnaev was captured in Watertown, Mass., the chief U.S. prosecutor, Carmen Ortiz, told the news media that the suspect would not be given Miranda warnings immediately when questioning began, and she cited the ?public safety exception.?

About Constitution Check

• In a continuing series of posts, Lyle Denniston provides responses based on the Constitution and its history to public statements about its meaning and what duties it imposes or rights it protects.

Last year, in a bulletin to law enforcement officers across the nation, the FBI cautioned them that this exception applied only to questions ?directed at neutralizing an imminent threat.?? It added that ?once the questions turn from those designed to resolve the concern for safety to questions designed solely to elicit incriminating statements, the questioning falls outside the scope of the exception and within the traditional rules of Miranda.?

Related story: Constitution Check: Why would a terrorism suspect be given Miranda warnings?

However, under the terms of a 2010 Justice Department legal memo (criticized by Slate.com?s Emily Bazelon in the column quoted above), questioning of a terrorism suspect who has not been told of his rights may also continue even beyond concerns for the moment, in order potentially to get significant intelligence information ?not related to any immediate threat.?? The memo cautions that the officers conducting the interrogation should get approval from their superiors to go further into intelligence-gathering.

None of these issues that are specifically related to terrorism investigations have yet reached the Supreme Court, so federal agents and police use this added authority without knowing what the legal risks are.

There is some risk that, if the public safety exception and the 2010 Justice Department memo are pressed too far by officers in the field, they could put in jeopardy their chances of using at later trials the evidence of crime that has been gathered.? The calculation thus has to be made whether to run that risk.? That involves a balancing of the needs of trial prosecutors with the needs of finding out about potential future threats.

What investigators are generally expected to understand is that the whole purpose of the Miranda warnings is to make sure that any incriminating evidence that results from questioning is available for use at trial, and the warnings are designed to help assure that whatever the suspect has said that gets him into trouble was said voluntarily.

If the threat of terrorism rises to the level that intelligence is more important than criminal evidence, then official policy, as outlined in the 2010 Justice Department memo, for example, will give it a higher priority.

That, however, is a judgment call that has to be made one case at a time, as in the case of the Boston bombing suspect.? From all that officials involved in the investigation in Boston have said, it may well be that they have such overwhelming evidence to support prosecution that they have little need to get Tsarnaev to confess and can focus, instead, on finding out what he may know ? if anything ? about other threats or accomplices.

Lyle Denniston is the National Constitution Center?s adviser on constitutional literacy. He has reported on the Supreme Court for 55 years, currently covering it for SCOTUSblog, an online clearinghouse of information about the Supreme Court?s work.

Wear Socks to Fall Asleep Easily

If you're having trouble getting to sleep, the problem might not be in your head. In fact, it might be in your feet.

Swiss researchers found that when we are on the cusp of falling asleep, our body redirects blood flow to our hands and feet. When these extremities are warm, their blood vessels can dilate and allow for greater blood flow, which of course aids in the redistribution of blood and helps you get to sleep. So if you're having trouble nodding off, the solution could be as simple as throwing on a warm pair of socks. If, like me, you have an aversion to wearing socks to sleep, a hot water bottle at the foot of the bed can serve just as well.

Report: Could CAFE result in an eBay-style online auction house for ...

Filed under: Government/Legal

Automakers may turn to an online auction system to buy and sell carbon credits in the near future. As Automotive News reports, the Environmental Protection Agency will soon stop allowing automakers to simply pay fines for exceeding their carbon emission limits and will instead move to a carbon credit system. Under that plan, more efficient automakers will be able to sell the credits they don't need or use to automakers that want to build less efficient products. Unfortunately, automakers are notoriously competitive and likely won't be willing to help each other out, even if it means making a little extra cash.

The solution is to use an anonymous market where automakers can buy or sell credits without ever knowing who's on the other end of the transaction. Several companies have already signed up for accounts with Mobilis Trading, though none have actually bought or sold credits just yet. That may change as the government puts ever more pressure on automakers to reduce emissions.Could CAFE result in an eBay-style online auction house for credits? originally appeared on Autoblog on Sun, 21 Apr 2013 08:01:00 EST.
