Ex-Arizona governor detained at border checkpoint

A 96-year-old former Arizona governor and former U.S. diplomat says he holds no grudges against the U.S. Border Patrol agents who he says detained him at a checkpoint for more than a half-hour in stifling heat after his pacemaker apparently set off a radiation sensor.

Raul H. Castro says although he wasn?t mistreated, agents could have been more sensitive to his age and condition.

?I feel they?ve got a job to do and I don?t condemn them for doing a job,? he told msnbc.com on Thursday, ?but once I was identified and I was 96 years of age and told them I had medical treatment the day before, I expected a little more.?

---

A friend who was driving the former governor at the time wasn?t so forgiving. Anne Doan, who teaches as the University of Arizona, called the treatment of Castro ?humiliating? and ?absolutely ridiculous.?

?I was embarrassed as I watched the governor being needlessly treated like a nuclear threat, especially because they knew he had just had a treatment at Tucson Heart Hospital the day before,? Doan wrote in an opinion column in the Nogales International.? I felt he was being disrespected as a senior citizen, much less the amazing statesman that he is.?

The Border Patrol says Castro was ?delayed? for only 10 minutes and that it ?regrets any inconvenience? caused by the stop.

Castro was governor of Arizona from 1975-77 before serving as U.S. ambassador to Argentina from 1977-80 under President Jimmy Carter. ?He was U.S. ambassador to El Salvador from 1964-68 and U.S. ambassador to Bolivia from 1968-69 under Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon.

The checkpoint incident happened on June 12. Doan, the daughter of former Nogales, Ariz., Mayor Arthur Doan and a family friend of the Castros, was driving Raul Castro from his home in the border town of Nogales to a luncheon in Tucson, about 70 miles north, to celebrate his 96^th birthday.

Their car was stopped at a Border Patrol checkpoint on Interstate 19 near Tubac, Ariz., about?24 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border,?after triggering a radiation sensor. Castro had a medical procedure for his heart and pacemaker the day before and he believes that?s what set off the sensor.

Doan said an agent directed Castro to a tented area for a secondary inspection, with temperatures approaching triple digits.

Doan said she asked the agents if Castro, who was dressed in a suit, could sit in his air-conditioned car instead but agents said he could not and that they had a fan blowing in the tent.

?I explained that he was a former governor and ambassador, a true statesman, and that he was 96 years old and that he shouldn?t have to be going through this. They knew it was the medical procedure that was coming up on their radar,? Doan wrote.

??At that point I was begging them to leave him alone.??

?It was very hot. It was uncomfortable,? Castro recalled.

Doan said agents asked Castro a series of questions, brought out a document for him to sign and then ran a detection machine over his body again before telling him he was free to go.

?We were walking away in the sun (back to the car) and they ask him for his ID,? Doan told msnbc.com. ?By then he?s flustered ? not because of the incident, but because of the heat. He stumbles around and drops his ID. One of the agents offered to pick it up and the governor said ?No, I?ll pick it up.? By then I could tell he was upset.?

Doan continued: ?They just kept humiliating him, I felt. They never asked me who I was. I was driving the car and they never asked me for my name, my ID.? Why they didn?t they ask me, if there was a nuclear threat in that car??

Doan and Castro estimated they were held up for more than 30 minutes.

?When we were leaving he (Castro) said, ?Well at least they didn?t send me to Cuba,?? Doan said. (The Mexican-born Castro?is not related to the Cuban president of the same name.)

Asked about the incident, U.S. Customs and Border Protection in Arizona released the following statement:

?CBP detection equipment at the I-19 Border Patrol Checkpoint discovered a possible trace of radiation on Governor Castro. As required by policy, agents must identify and resolve all sources of radiation, regardless of the circumstances. In this instance, CBP agents were able to identify and resolve the source of the radiation reading. Gov. Castro was delayed for 10 minutes from 11:42 to 11:52 a.m. CBP regrets any inconvenience the delay may have caused.?

A Border Patrol spokesman declined further comment.

Castro didn?t make a big deal the incident but his wife, Patricia, was more critical.

?They?re doing their job, which we understand. Ordinarily we pass through there with no problem. But there?s a certain time when somebody?s that old and highly respected; in that state it seems to me they would have given some consideration to that,? she told msnbc.com.

Doan said agents could have been more accommodating and sensitive.

?They had a job to do and this 96-year-old gentleman was nobody even though he was former governor and former ambassador,? Doan told msnbc.com.

?In the desert heat you have to be sensitive to people who are ill or aged.?

Alessandra Soler, executive director of the American Civil Liberties of Arizona, told the Arizona Republic?that agents should have used discretion instead of solely relying on a machine to detain Castro.

"I think most people would agree that subjecting a 96-year-old man to secondary screening does little to secure our borders and a man who had just informed them that he had undergone this medical procedure," she told the newspaper.

Only 10-Percent of Androids Have Ice Cream Sandwich After Eight Months [Android]

Ice Cream Sandwich is now installed on 10-percent of active Android devices, according to Google's own numbers. About 64-percent of users are still using Gingerbread. And the latest iteration of Android, Jelly Bean, is already on its way. When developers express concern about Android fragmentation, this is what they mean: Users are distributed over so many different versions of the OS that it's hard to develop for a wide swath. Not to mention that the latest and greatest updates take forever to hit the masses. [Android.com via Business Insider] More »

Student murder stokes fears of Egypt's Islamists

CAIRO (AP) ? Three bearded men approached a university student and his girlfriend during a romantic rendezvous in a park and ordered them to separate because they weren't married, according to security officials. An argument broke out, ending with one of the men fatally stabbing the student.

The June 25 attack has alarmed Egyptians concerned that with an Islamist president in office, vigilante groups are feeling emboldened to enforce strict Islamic mores on the streets.

Islamists, including members of one-time violent groups, were empowered after last year's ouster of Hosni Mubarak's secular regime by a popular uprising. They formed political parties and won about 70 percent of parliament seats in elections held some six months ago, although a court dissolved the legislature.

Moderate Muslims along with liberal and women's groups now worry that Mohammed Morsi's presidency will eradicate what is left of Egypt's secular traditions and change the social fabric of the mainly Muslim nation of 82 million people.

Some activists say Islamists already are flexing their muscles in areas outside Cairo and other main cities, taking advantage of the absence of civil society groups and tenuous security in the areas.

They cite reports of efforts to persuade drivers of communal taxis, mostly minibuses that can seat up to 16, to segregate women and men passengers. In some instances, women's hairdressing salons were told to get rid of male employees or threatened with closure.

"If Islamists are to try and take over the streets and enforce their version of Islam, they will do it in rural areas, at least initially," said Yara Sallam from Nazra, a women's rights group.

The security officials said there was no concrete evidence linking the June 25 killing to radical Islamic groups in Egypt, but it still has stoked fears.

Islamist groups, including Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood and the ultraconservative Salafis, denied any link to the murders.

Rights groups say they have sent teams to investigate the Suez killing and establish whether Islamists were behind the attacks.

On the same day, two musicians, who were brothers, were murdered as they were traveling home after performing at a wedding in the Nile Delta province of Sharqiyah, officials said. Radical Muslims consider music "haram" or prohibited, as a distraction from religious duties.

Two ultraconservative Salafi Muslims were arrested, but officials said it was not clear if the killings were religiously motivated.

Nonetheless, thousands of residents of Abu Kibeer, the victims' hometown, protested the killings, cutting off roads and disrupting train services by sitting on the rails. They also destroyed the local offices of a charity they suspected the culprits belonged to and torched the home of one suspect.

Some activists believe that the Brotherhood is at least quietly condoning nonviolent activity designed to bring the country more in alignment with Islam's teachings ? a founding goal of the 84-year-old fundamentalist movement.

"They may not be involved but they are turning a blind eye to what their low and middle rank members do on the streets," said Nehad Abul-Omsan of the Egyptian Center for Women's Rights.

"What they do is like test balloons for their leaders. If society stands up to what they do, then they know it is not time yet to Islamize. If people accept it, then they ask them to do more. What we need is a clear and public commitment to freedoms by the leaders of Islamic groups."

About 100 activists, political parties and non-governmental groups have issued a statement calling on Morsi to protect women against what it said was growing incidents of harassment, particularly against those not wearing the Muslim veil.

Ahmed Hussein Eid, 20, was attacked while enjoying the evening with his girlfriend in a quiet park that is a favorite spot for romantic rendezvous in Suez, according to the security officials, who gave the account on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

The officials did not say what the two were doing when challenged by the three men who arrived at the scene on a motorbike.

But the officials, citing initial testimony of the girlfriend, said the men told the couple they should not be together because they were not married and must immediately leave and go their separate ways. An argument followed and one of the three men stabbed Eid in the upper left thigh, near his genitals. He was hospitalized and died of his wounds on Monday, the officials said.

Suez ? a hotbed of the uprising ? is a stronghold of Islamists and voted heavily in favor of Morsi in the June 16-17 presidential runoff against Ahmed Shafiq, a career air force officer and the last prime minister to serve under Mubarak. The killing took place one day after Morsi was declared the winner.

Such killings are extremely rare, but activists say Islamists are trying to impose their will on communities outside Cairo.

For example, Islamists in the city of Marsa Matrouh on the Mediterranean are distributing leaflets to patrons of seaside cafes and beaches urging them not to listen to music or watch football on television.

Some concerts at university campuses reportedly have been canceled following threats by Islamists and others have enforced the separation of men and women in classrooms and during out of town excursions.

"A lot of minibuses now play Quranic recitations on their radios instead of loud popular music as it is custom," said Ali Higris, a student from Maasarah, a working-class suburb south of Cairo.

Fully veiled women are also harassing women not wearing a veil or wearing colorful ones while traveling on the women-only train cars of Cairo's busy subway, according to activists monitoring women's rights.

Egypt has for more than 40 years been preoccupied with dealing with the threat posed by radicals seeking to create an Islamic state in the country. Mubarak, backed by the U.S., used that threat to maintain tight control over the country.

Morsi, 60, has not mentioned implementing Islam's Shariah law since he narrowly won the presidential race. That was a departure from his hard-line Islamic rhetoric in the run-up to the first round of voting in May, when the field of 13 candidates included several Islamists, causing many to accuse him of pandering to voters and seeking support from secular political groups in his power struggle with the military.

Many fear the Brotherhood and its allies are closer than ever to realizing the dream of an Islamic government in Egypt and are looking to Morsi to make it happen.

In telling legal cases, a group of police officers has sued the Interior Ministry, which is in charge of security forces, to rescind punitive measures taken against them for growing beards, a hallmark sign of piety. A group of employees from EgyptAir also is taking the state-owned national carrier to court in a bid to lift the ban on growing beards.

"For two years, I have been shaving my beard and apologizing to God because there was a repressive decision against growing it," said police Lt. Ahmed Hamdi. "Why should I be barred from exercising a religious ritual? Now the head of the executive (Morsi) is a bearded man."

WASHINGTON (AP) ? From North Carolina to New Jersey, 2 million people without electricity are asking the same question: Why will it take so long to get the lights back on?

Nearly three full days after a severe summer storm lashed the East Coast, utilities warned that many neighborhoods could remain in the dark for much of the week, if not beyond.

Friday's storm arrived with little warning, so utility companies have had to wait days for extra crews traveling from as far away as Quebec and Oklahoma. And the toppled trees and power lines often entangled broken equipment in debris that must be removed before workers can even get started.

Adding to the urgency of the repairs are the sick and elderly, who are especially vulnerable without air conditioning in the sweltering triple-digit heat. Many sought refuge in hotels or basements.

Officials feared the death toll, already at 22, could climb because of the heat and widespread use of generators, which emit fumes that can be dangerous in enclosed spaces.

At the Springvale Terrace nursing home and senior center in Silver Spring, Md., generators were brought in to provide electricity, and window air conditioners were installed in large common rooms to offer respite from the heat and darkness.

Residents using walkers struggled to navigate doors that were supposed to open automatically. Nurses had to throw out spoiled food, sometimes over the loud objections of residents who insisted their melting ice cream was still good.

The lack of power completely upended many daily routines. Supermarkets struggled to keep groceries from going bad. People on perishable medication called pharmacies to see how long their medicine would keep. In Washington, officials set up collection sites for people to drop off rotting food. Others had weekend cookouts in an attempt to use their food while it lasted. And in West Virginia, National Guard troops handed out food and water and made door-to-door checks.

When it comes to getting the power running again, all utilities take a top-down approach that seeks to get the largest number of people back online as quickly as possible.

First, crews repair substations that send power to thousands of homes and businesses. Next, they fix distribution lines. Last are the transformers that can restore power to a few customers at a time.

In Great Falls, Va., just outside Washington, patent attorney Patrick Muir found out firsthand who was high on the priority list. The area is sparsely populated and wealthy, with mansions spread across secluded, wooded lots. Muir had been raiding water bottles from his powerless office to supply his home, which is on a well that was not working. His 8-year-old daughter spoke hopefully of a beach trip to escape the heat. Dad said it was under consideration.

"Great Falls always seems to be the first to go down and the last one to come back up," Muir said.

A Safeway supermarket trying to stay open with a limited power supply handed out free bags of dry ice. But after two days of temperatures in the 90s, the air inside was stale. Shopping carts with spoiled food, buzzing with flies, sat outside the store.

At a CVS pharmacy, Mahesh Tickle did the best he could. He had no cash register, so he made change with loose bills and coins stuffed inside a Ziploc bag. Tickle filled what prescriptions he could and fielded questions from customers wondering if medications such as insulin had spoiled.

Some people said the destruction over the weekend was reminiscent of that caused by Hurricane Isabel in 2003 and Hurricane Irene in 2011.

Some backup utility crews arrived Sunday in Maryland, but many were not expected until sometime Monday. That's because the storm arrived so quickly, unlike hurricanes, which approach with several days of warning and give out-of-state crews plenty of time to get into place.

After Isabel, it took electricity supplier Pepco eight days to restore power to most of the 500,000-plus customers in Washington and the surrounding areas. About 443,000 lost power at the peak of this storm, and restoration work will likely last into the weekend.

Last year, it took Baltimore Gas and Electric company eight and a half days to restore power to all 750,000 customers who lost power during Hurricane Irene. This time, the power company initially confronted more than 600,000 people without power. It said restoration efforts will extend into the weekend.

BGE said in a letter posted on its website that it would take hundreds of thousands of man-hours to clear debris and work through outages. Crews are working around the clock in 16-hour shifts.

"This type of widespread, extensive damage also complicates our ability to quickly provide accurate restoration times, especially when original damage assessments are revised upon closer inspection of the work required," the letter said.

However, Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley has been blunt that the utilities must work faster: "No one will have his boot further up Pepco's and BGE's backsides than I will," O'Malley said Sunday.

Pepco spokeswoman Myra Oppel said the differences between storms can be significant. Two storms could have the same number of customers with outages, but the root of the problem could be downed wires in one situation and downed poles in another. But repairing poles takes a lot longer.

As a result, the length of time it takes to restore power "depends on what damage has occurred, not the number of outages," Oppel said.

In the case of Friday night's storms, crews are contending with trees that have to be removed before crews can get to damaged infrastructure.

She said the fact that neighboring states were also hard-hit meant many utilities were competing to get the same backup crews for help.

In Baltimore County, Eveena Felder, a registered nurse, had been relying on air-conditioned public areas to keep cool during the day and a fan to help her family sleep.

"We've purchased a ton of batteries, that's where most of our money has gone," Felder said. "Turn the fan on and keep still, don't move, less energy."

Officials were especially concerned about people in isolated rural areas.

In Greenbrier County, W.Va., "they have no radio station. They have no TV station. They have no communications because without power, they don't have phones," said Lt. Col. David Lester of the West Virginia National Guard.

Back at the nursing home, the cable was out as well, so in the common rooms with generator power the center played movies on old VHS tapes, including the 1932 classic "Grand Hotel."

Ninety-three-year-old Margaret Foster and 95-year-old Helen Ofsharick passed the time outside.

"You wouldn't want to live this way more than a day or so," Foster said. "There are sick people here, or people who don't think too well. They need help."

Google indoor maps comes to the UK, helps commuter meet pasty in record time

If you're forever getting lost looking for Barratts, or feeling faint hunting down a Greggs to fill your mall-explorer's belly, then Google Maps to the rescue. Mountain View's already made it clear it doesn't want walls to get between you and its mapping of the world, and now those hungry Android-using indoor Britons can get in on the action. There's only a hair over 40 venues covered right now -- a mix of museums, stations, malls and airports in the main -- and most of them in London. With building owners being able to upload their own maps, however, this should / could expand quickly. Good news either way, though if you can get lost at London Bridge Station, then no amount of maps will likely help.
