How to Use Google AdSense Ads on your Responsive Website
Learn how to make your Google AdSense ads responsive with JavaScript. The most appropriate ad unit will automatically get served based on the width (resolution) of the visitor’s browser.
Responsive web design is a simple technique that makes your website look good across all screen sizes – be it the mobile phone, tablets, desktop computer or even the large-screen TV.
Google has also officially recommended that website owners use the responsive design approach instead of maintaining separate mobile and desktop website as responsive design “keeps your desktop and mobile content on a single URL.”
If you been using Google AdSense Ads on your responsive website, you may have noticed that, unlike your content, Google AdSense ads have a fixed width and they will not shrink or expand based on the screen size of the visitor.
For instance, if you are using the standard 728×90 leaderboard unit on your website, the ad unit may extend well beyond the screen if someone is viewing your website on a mobile phone that can only accomodate 320 pixels.
Google AdSense Ads aren’t responsive by default but there’s a simple JavaScript based workaround that will make your Google Ads respond to the screen size. Best of all, the Google AdSense team has officially approved our Responsive Ads technique.
Before we dive into the code, please take a look at this demo page.
The demo has exactly one AdSense unit above the fold but the size of the unit will vary depening on visitor’s screen. If you are viewing the demo on a widescreen, you’ll see a leaderboard ad while a mobile user will see a medium rectangle or even a 180×90 link unit depending on the screen resolution.
To get started, create multiple ad units (say 768×90, 468×60 and 300×250) inside your AdSense dashbaord and replace the relevant google_ad_client (ca-pub-1234) and google_ad_slot (AAA, BBB, etc.) identifiers in the code with your own values.
Next, copy-paste the above snippet anywhere on your web page and, based on the size (resolution) of the user’s device, the most appropriate AdSense Ad format will get served automatically. If you wish to include multiple AdSense ad units on the same responsive website, just use the same snippet of code but increment the ID (line #4 & line #8) such that they read google-ads-1, google-ads-2 and so on.
I wrote the first version in August 2012 and the updated code includes several enhancements:
The previous version used window.innerWidth and window.clientWidth properites to calculate the screen width but there were compatibility issues with older browsers. We are now using offsetWidth to compute the available width for ads which is even more reliable.You can now configure JavaScript to not display AdSense ads on very small screens. This is done by not specifying a valid google_ad_slot and setting the display property of the ad unit to “none” so that there’s no blank space anywhere.It is now easier to include multiple responsive ad units on single web page.While it is always a good idea to confirm with your account manager, this technique isn’t against AdSense TOS as we aren’t resizing the ads or modifying the JavaScript code – we are just serving a different ad unit based on the visitor’s browser size.
AdSense publishers routinely perform split A/B testing to determine which colors schemes and banners sizes perform the best on their website – this is a similar technique.

Leave it to the iconic symbol of college keg parties to come up with such an extensive line of party ware. The plastic red cup is no longer just for beer. It's moving away from beer pong and branching out in its party purpose. The red cup now comes in shot glass sizes and an extra-large 32 oz. beer size (our personal favorite). They're also shaped as wine glasses, margarita cups and even classy cocktail glasses.
Whether the red cup brings back great college memories or flashbacks of nights you wish to forget, this summer we think you can expect to see a lot of red cups -- thanks to the guys at Red Cup Living. Check them out below.

Ricin Letters Suspect: Hearing To Focus On Paul Kevin Curtis' Mental State
OXFORD, Miss. — Officials have cancelled the third day of a hearing for the Mississippi man accused of mailing poisoned letters to President Barack Obama, a U.S. senator and a local judge.
Christi McCoy, defense attorney for Paul Kevin Curtis, says that federal authorities and defense attorneys will speak to reporters at 5 p.m. CDT about the case.
The announcement came 90 minutes after the hearing was supposed to start in federal court. Lawyers spent that time conferring with the judge. Later, Curtis and family members were escorted into a meeting room with his lawyers, followed by a probation officer.
On Monday, an FBI agent said federal authorities didn't find any ricin in Curtis' Corinth, Miss., home or vehicle.
McCoy says the search results bolster Curtis' claims of innocence.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
The third day of a hearing for the Mississippi man accused of mailing poisoned letters to President Barack Obama, a U.S. senator and a local judge was expected to include testimony on his mental state after authorities acknowledged they have found little physical evidence so far.
Christi McCoy, defense attorney for Paul Kevin Curtis, said Tuesday's hearing was expected to include testimony from David Daniels, a Tupelo, Miss., attorney who says Curtis threatened him after a rehearsal for an Elvis impersonators' show Daniels helped organize in 2002. Also, a law enforcement official was expected to testify about Curtis' suicide attempt in Chicago in 1991.
On Monday, FBI Agent Brandon Grant testified that Friday searches of Curtis' vehicle and house in Corinth, Miss., found no ricin, ingredients for the poison, or devices used to make it. A search of Curtis' computers found no evidence he researched making ricin.
"There was no apparent ricin, castor beans or any material there that could be used for the manufacturing, like a blender or something," Grant testified. He speculated that Curtis could have thrown away the processor. Grant said technicians are now doing a "deep dive" on the suspect's computers after initially finding no "dirty words" indicating Curtis had searched for information on ricin.
McCoy has insisted there is no physical evidence connecting Curtis to the mailings and that he may have been framed.
Through McCoy, Curtis has denied involvement in letters sent to Obama, Mississippi Republican Sen. Roger Wicker, and a Lee County, Miss., judge. The first of the letters was found April 15.
"The searches are concluded, not one single shred of evidence was found to indicate Kevin could have done this," McCoy told reporters after the hearing.
U.S. Magistrate Judge J. Allan Alexander ended the hearing after lunch Monday, citing a personal schedule conflict. After the hearing concluded, McCoy questioned why Curtis would have signed the letters "I am KC and I approve this message," a phrase he had used on his Facebook page.
McCoy said in court that someone may have framed Curtis, suggesting that a former business associate of Curtis' brother, a man with whom Curtis had an extended exchange of angry emails, may have set him up.
Still, Grant testified that authorities believe they have the right suspect.
"Given the right mindset and the Internet and the acquisition of material, other people could be involved. However, given information right now, we believe we have the right individual," he said.
Grant said lab analysis shows the poison in the letters was in a crude form that could have been created by grinding castor beans in a food processor or coffee grinder.
The detention and preliminary hearing began Friday in U.S. District Court in Oxford, Miss. More witnesses besides Grant were expected Tuesday.
Federal investigators believe the letters were mailed by Curtis, an Elvis impersonator who family members say suffers from bipolar disorder.
Grant testified Monday that processing codes printed on the letter indicated they had been mailed from Tupelo, Miss., and that investigators were still trying to figure out from the codes exactly where they had been mailed from.
Grant testified Friday that authorities tried to track down the sender of the letters by using a list of Wicker's constituents with the initials KC, the same initials in the letters. Grant said the list was whittled from thousands to about 100 when investigators isolated the ones who lived in an area that would have a Memphis, Tenn., postmark, which includes many places in north Mississippi. He said Wicker's staff recognized Curtis as someone who had written the senator before.
All the envelopes and stamps were self-adhesive, Grant said Monday, meaning they won't yield DNA evidence. He said thus far the envelopes and letters haven't yielded any fingerprints.
McCoy said the evidence linking the 45-year-old to the crime has hinged on his writings posted online, which were accessible to anyone.

Zoe Kazan, 'The Pretty One' Star, On Misinterpreting 'Ruby Sparks' And Her Famous Grandfather
Zoe Kazan's screenwriting film debut, "Ruby Sparks," was, at times, misinterpreted. The term "manic pixie dream girl" would often appear in discussions surrounding the film -- which is fine -- but, unfortunately, it was usually in the wrong context, considering "Sparks" was the antithesis of that phrase. On that press tour, Kazan herself would remain coy when asked about any interpretations. On this press tour -- for "The Pretty One," currently playing at the Tribeca Film Festival -- she's being a little more vocal.
All while not infecting me with bronchitis, I should add.
In "The Pretty One," Kazan plays twin sisters -- one an outgoing busybody, Audrey, and one a wallflower, Laurel. After Audrey's death, Laurel claims her identity. I met Kazan, who, yes, is recovering from bronchitis, at a busy Manhattan hotel lobby and she was nice enough to warn me about avoid possible handshakes, lest she spread her lingering illness back to The Huffington Post newsroom. Here, she talks about her new film, the critics who crucified her, and the strange experience being asked about her grandfather, Eila Kazan.
Zoe Kazan: I'm sorry, I can't shake hands or anything. I've been sick.
Mike Ryan: I appreciate the warning. I feel some people would shake hands out of spite.
Yeah, I would love to give you what I have, but I'm just going to keep it to myself. I had bronchitis for a week.
I don't want that.
Nope, you don't. I've been really careful about washing my hands all day, but I literally coughed into them 30 seconds ago.
This is all very thoughtful of you. Thank you.
You're really welcome. It's my pleasure.
I think I've gotten everything I wanted out of this interview.
It's perfect, you did not get bronchitis. Well, we'll see in about a week.
In the film, your character attends her own funeral. Other people fantasize about attending their own funeral, right? That's a thing, isn't it?
Right. I mean, it's a time-honored tradition from Huck Finn and on.
In that situation, you have to do that, right? Or maybe not. That's not really normal, but it would be interesting to know.
Yeah, it would be interesting. I think the thing that was really exciting to me about this was that I actually can't understand what it's like to have an identical twin. It's one of the frontiers that I'll never know. You're not going to grow into having an identical twin.
Cloning? She wouldn't be the same age, though.
Right. But I have a sister that I'm really close to and that helped me understand some of the emotional stuff -- what it would be like to lose her, or whatever. The kind of comedy stuff -- like her attending her own funeral -- is what makes the movie watchable because it would be too sad if it wasn't funny. And that was one of the things that I loved about the script.
It could have been very dark.
It could be very, very dark. And I think [director] Jenée [LaMarque] did a good job of keeping the tone light. While, still, it's a movie about grief.
You've written your own movie in the past. Do you ever find yourself reading a script and thinking, That's not the way I would do it.
Well, I've only written one movie. My whole love of acting and whole love of writing comes out of a love of film. I just love movies. I grew up loving movies -- I've been a cinephile from the time I was a little baby. My first memory is watching a movie. It's a big thing for me. So, being on a set and being a collaborator is a huge part of what I enjoy about the process. That means I don't like to sit in my trailer. I like to be on the set. I like to be hands-on. I like to know what the camera's doing. So, from that perspective, I'm probably more engaged than maybe all actors are -- because I want to be. But, for me, I believe you have to give your director absolute trust. ... I think most of the time your job as an actor is making their words and their story come to life. It's not up you to fix it or make it better.
Is that process different when you wrote the movie? On "Ruby Sparks," were there any times you thought, "This isn't how I envisioned it?"
You have to let that go. My feeling about collaboration is that if you're with a really good collaborator, for every one thing that you feel like you're compromising on, you get none things better than you would ever think of doing yourself. That's good collaboration. And that's how I felt on "Ruby Sparks" -- even if wasn't the way I saw it, I trusted their overall vision. So, I'm not about to be like, "Hey, guys, let's stop filing a second."
When "Ruby Sparks" came out, I felt you were really coy about what it was trying to say. But I feel some people misinterpreted that movie. Did that bother you when it was labeled sexist when it was really the opposite of that?
You know, I guess it does bother me. Just because those issues are so important to me. But, I really love our movie and I really believe in it. I feel that we did the best job that we could do as far as putting what we wanted into the world. And if people are going to misunderstand that, that's really on them, not on me. If I felt like the movie was not what I wanted it to be, then I would feel differently.
But I totally stand behind the choices that we made. I was trying to say something -- I was trying to say something by subverting it. I wasn't openly criticizing anything. It was about putting yourself in the shoes of this protagonist, who then does something that is, I think, an imaginative extension of what some men do.
Some dismissed it as another manic pixie dream girl movie.
Right.
When that was the point of the movie. He was writing himself a manic pixie dream girl.
Yeah. You know, some stuff is going to go over people's heads and that's fine. And, also, sometimes I think people write stuff like that, or get riled up about stuff, just to have something to write about. It's a slow news day. That's all brouhaha. That has nothing to do with the actual movie. I'll tell you what I don't like. I don't like going into those circumstances and you look at the reporter and you're like, 'Oh, I know, you're going to crucify me here. Because I'm little, because I've got big eyes. You're going to look at me at you're going to make a decision about what kind of person I am.' And you have no idea what my copy of "The Second Sex" looks like. You have no idea what my mind looks like. You have no curiosity about me. So why are we sitting down together? Just write whatever you want. Like, I don't need to be here for you to crucify me.
I'm going to preface this question by saying that it's is not prefacing another question.
All right.
Do you like it when people bring up your grandfather? If I were you, I can't decide if I would like that or not.
I just never know how to answer it, to be totally frank. I think when people hear about my family, they have this idea that I grew up with a certain idea about myself as like an heir to a certain whatever. And that couldn't be further from the truth. I grew up in a not-very-nice part of Venice Beach in the '80s and '90s. In a house where my parents -- I had no idea my grandfather was famous until I was 13 years old. My relationship with him was totally grandkid to grandfather. So, it's just like a weird thing, because I feel like people want a tidbit or they want some closeness -- and I just don't feel like I have anything to offer.
It's not like I dislike the question. I love him and I understand people's curiosity, but I just don't know that i have a good answer for it. So I always walk away feeling either like, "I just sold out of family," or, "I just gave these people the most bland, boring possible answer I could possibly give." Because, I don't know, my parents are incredibly private. And I think it's really weird for them to have me be interviewed all the time. I think my dad worked really hard for his privacy and I try to respect that.
That was a good answer.
Oh, well ...
Don't walk away thinking either this time.
Okay, good.

Recipe Of The Day: Cherry Cheesecake
There's no cheesecake more iconic than cherry cheesecake. Which is why on national cherry cheesecake day, we should all take a break and eat a slice. But why stop at cherry cheesecake when you can be enjoying a piece of cherry cheesecake pie?
Cherry cheesecake pie combines two of the great desserts: cherry cheesecake and cherry pie. What you get with this cheesecake version is all the rich creamy filling that you'd expect from cheesecake, a nice layer of cherries on top and then -- just for fun -- a buttery, flakey lattice pie crust to tie it all together. It's epic.

Pat Summerall Remembered During Memorial Service As 'Voice Of The NFL'
PLANO, Texas -- Veteran sportscaster Pat Summerall was remembered Saturday during a memorial service as "the voice of the NFL" and a venerated figure who maintained a humble approach despite the praise his broadcast work received for decades.
Thousands gathered Saturday at a Baptist church just north of Dallas to pay tribute to a broadcaster who called some of the most memorable games in NFL history, and also was known for his coverage of Grand Slam tennis tournaments, the Masters golf tournament and other sporting events.
The former NFL kicker died Tuesday at age 82 of cardiac arrest at a Dallas hospital.
With his deep, resonant voice, Summerall called 16 Super Bowls and was the primary television play-by-play voice of the NFL.
Former NFL analyst John Madden said Saturday that his broadcast partner's steady presence made Summerall the voice of the league. Madden, once a fiery NFL coach, was seen by many as the storm alongside Summerall's calm. The two teamed for 22 years covering games for CBS and then more briefly for Fox.
"I got up this morning and I thought, `Pat, I need you,'" Madden told the mourners. "I couldn't get the tie straightened, a button buttoned. It was the same old thing."
Madden described his first year with Summerall in the broadcast booth in 1981 as riddled with confusion as the former coach struggled with the craft and fumbled with headsets and other equipment. But Summerall "didn't look down on me," he said.
"He didn't tell you he'd pull you through, he just damn did it," Madden said.
After talking at length, a despondent Madden looked upward.
"I know Pat's up there saying, `brevity, brevity, brevity.' But just one more time I'm going to talk over you," Madden said, before reminding the audience of the deep faith Summerall developed in his later years.
One of Summerall's sons, Kyle, said his father had battled alcoholism for years but with the help of his faith had kicked it aside.
Summerall often shared his testimony with Christian groups and told his story when speaking before other organizations. In his 2006 book, "Summerall: On and Off The Air," he frankly discussed his personal struggles and professional successes.
Saturday's memorial service was powered by a group of church singers, a choir more than 300 strong, and NFL Hall of Fame players including former Cowboys quarterbacks Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman, ex-Dallas running back Emmitt Smith and former Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin. Fullback Daryl Johnston was among other past Dallas players who also attended, along with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and head coach Jason Garrett.
Summerall, who spent his final years in the Dallas area, living in Southlake, was a member of the North Texas Super Bowl host committee for the game played there in February 2011 in the $1.1 billion Cowboys Stadium that opened in 2009.
Another of Summerall's sons, Jay, said his father made time for as many people as he could, no matter their lot in life. The elder Summerall often spent time answering fan mail, sending along autographed photos, and serving as an ambassador for the Betty Ford Center.
Summerall in 2004 received the liver of a 13-year-old junior high football player from Arkansas who died unexpectedly from an aneurysm, and Summerall had remained in touch the teenager's family.
"There was no big shot in him," Jay Summerall said.
Added Madden: "If there ever was a book about good guys, he'd be the star of that book."

David Ortiz Speech: Pre-Game Ceremony At Fenway Punctuated By F-Bomb, FCC Doesn't Mind (VIDEO)
David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox poses with a Boston Strong sign. David Ortiz hit cleanup during the emotional pre-game ceremony at Fenway Park on Saturday. And he knocked it out of the park.
Making his return to the lineup on the same day that fans first returned to Fenway after the bombings at the Boston Marathon, the 37-year-old slugger capped a series of moving tributes and observances with a brief speech to fans, comprised of equal parts gratitude, fellowship and defiance. It also contained one exuberant f-bomb.
"This is our fucking city," Ortiz roared during his remarks to the delight of the crowd.
WATCH VIDEO ABOVE
If Ortiz' unexpected curse word offended anyone watching the ceremony live on television then they might need to complain to someone other than the FCC. On Saturday afternoon, the official Twitter account of the Federal Communications Commission let everyone know it was fine with Ortiz' emotional utterance.
@FCC The FCC David Ortiz spoke from the heart at today's Red Sox game. I stand with Big Papi and the people of Boston - Julius
For those wondering who at the FCC is named Julius, look no further than FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski.

'Game Of Thrones' Episode 4 Of Season 3: What To Expect From 'And Now His Watch Is Ended' (PHOTOS)
Episode 4 of "Game Of Thrones" is going to be a big one.
The episode, titled "And Now His Watch Is Ended," will see the first truly epic moment of the show's third season. Fans of George R.R. Martin's book franchise, on which the HBO series is based, might know what's coming in, but here's what showrunners Dan Weiss and David Benioff told reporters during a conference call before the Season 3 premiere.
"We always knew it was going to be one of the big ones," Weiss said (via The Hollywood Reporter). "That was one of the scenes I remember reading it for the first time in the books and being so swept away by it. I remember thinking [that] if we could ever get this to series and we could ever get to season three, we'd actually be able to put that scene on screen."
Here's how HBO describes "And Now His Watch Is Ended," the fourth episode of "Game Of Thrones" Season 3:
The Night’s Watch takes stock. Varys meets his better. Arya is taken to the commander of the Brotherhood. Daenerys exchanges a chain for a whip.
As for Joffrey and Margaery Tyrell, played by Natalie Dormer, the actress recently told TV Guide, "The Tyrells have come and arrived at King's Landing, underestimating the situation. They think that they can control the Lannisters and can take them on. They're going to get a nasty shock." But, she added, Margaery still shouldn't be discounted." Margaery is not safe," Dormer told TV Guide. "She's trying to work out what makes Joffrey tick because if she can work out what makes Joffrey tick, she can control him. And not just control him in a nasty, manipulative way, but control him for the better of the kingdom."

Earlier on HuffPost: Get AlertsJude Law PETA Letter Asks WTO To Uphold European Union Seal Fur Ban
LONDON — Actor Jude Law has written to the World Trade Organization to urge it to uphold a European Union ban on seal fur.
The British actor was writing on behalf of animal protection group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), which released the letter on Saturday.
The EU banned commercial trade in all seal products in its member states in 2010 amid concerns about the animal welfare aspects of hunting seals.
The ban is being challenged by the Canadian government, and the WTO is holding a hearing later this month to settle the dispute.
PETA has also enlisted actress Pamela Anderson in its publicity campaign against the seal trade.

Zac Efron Tribeca Film Festival: Actor Talks 'At Any Price' And His Budding Indie Film Career
Zac Efron may be loved by teenage girls around the world, but he's trying his best to step away from his "High School Musical" days and focus on becoming a more well-rounded actor.
The 25-year-old has appeared in a handful of independent films over the last few years, including "Me and Orson Welles," "The Paperboy" and more recently "At Any Price," which he attended the premiere for at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 19.
Efron briefly chatted with HuffPost Celebrity on the red carpet, admitting he doesn't know how he became an "indie darling."
"I don't know," he told reporters of what inspired him to make a commitment to films outside of mainstream production. "I’ve been doing a lot of interviews with Dennis [Quaid] and his words of wisdom are sort of just fresh in my mind. Dennis says the only role he sort of had for himself in this career is to do as many different types of movies as possible and never stop stretching or trying something new, particularly roles that challenge you. And working with great directors," he added, "That’s really all I want to do."
HuffPost caught up with Quaid at the screening as well, who coincidentally echoed Efron's sentiments: "The only strategy I've ever had is to play as many different types of roles as possible."
He also had some kind things to say about Efron, who stars as his son in "At Any Price."
"He’s such a great actor. He’s such a down-to-earth guy and he’s really got all the tools in the toolbox," Quaid said of his co-star. "He dedicated himself [to this film] and I think he made me better."
As for what Efron will do next, the Hollywood heartthrob says he's simply looking to take on characters he connects with.
"It kind of just falls into place and you know it. It’s what you want to do," he told HuffPost. "I’m doing a movie called 'Townies' right now where I play the president of a fraternity and that’s totally opposite of this character."
There's no doubt Efron will make it far in his career, considering he's already had a huge impact on all the directors, writers and actors he's worked with.
"Zac is just really together. I’m so amazed by how smart and hard working he is," co-star Heather Graham added of Efron. "And he has the craziest fans of any actor I’ve ever worked with ... like they’re screaming and waiting outside the set for hours. We ate at a restaurant and when we came out there were 30 teenage girls waiting outside screaming at the top of their lungs. It’s like the Beatles!"

'The Big Bang Theory' Season Finale: Will Leonard And Penny Stay Together?
All's well right now on "The Big Bang Theory" as far as Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Penny's (Kaley Cuoco) relationship is concerned.
But according to TVLine, the season finale will present Leonard with a huge obstacle: a job offer overseas.
“He's a little nervous, because he doesn't want anything to get screwed up," executive producer Steven Molaro said, adding that although Penny is supportive she would "very much ... miss him.”
The Leonard-Penny drama isn't the only excitement headed "Big Bang's" way, though: TV legend Bob Newhart is swinging by the series on May 2 as Professor Proton, a childhood hero of Leonard and Sheldon's (Jim Parsons).
"I specified 'Big Bang' because of the writing and the live audience," Newhart told TV Guide, noting that the last scene "sets it up for me to return a couple more times next season."
"The Big Bang Theory" airs Thursdays, 8 p.m ET on CBS.

Couldn't install new theme in Joomla! Why is that?
Most likely it is a compatibility issue. Are you sure that you are using a template that is compatible with the version of Joomla you are running? If you have a 2.5 site 1.5 templates won't work. Sometimes 3.0 templates may not work with 2.5 sites.Other than that there is also the possibility that the file needs to be unzipped before you upload and install. Sometimes developers package multiple versions of a component, template, or module in one big zip file and you have to unzip and then use the one that matches your joomla version.
If you are sure that it is neither of these problems then unzip the package and upload them all to your /templates folder. Then go into extensions->Discover and tell it to discover anything missing. It will look through the folders and find anything that has not been properly installed.
If that doesn't work then my advice would be to find a different template.

Bombing Suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Hospitalized In Serious Condition
BOSTON — Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev lay hospitalized in serious condition under heavy guard Saturday – apparently in no shape to be interrogated – as investigators tried to establish the motive for the deadly attack and the scope of the plot.
People across the Boston area breathed easier the morning after Tsarnaev, 19, was pulled, wounded and bloody, from a tarp-covered boat in a Watertown backyard. The capture came at the end of a tense day that began with his 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan, dying in a gunbattle with police.
There was no immediate word on when Tsarnaev might be charged and what those charges would be. The twin bombings killed three people and wounded more than 180.
The most serious charge available to federal prosecutors would be the use of a weapon of mass destruction to kill people, which carries a possible death sentence. Massachusetts does not have the death penalty.
President Barack Obama said there are many unanswered questions about the bombing, including whether the Tsarnaev brothers – ethnic Chechens from southern Russia who had been in the U.S. for about a decade and lived in the Boston area – had help from others. The president urged people not to rush judgment about their motivations.
U.S. officials said an elite interrogation team would question the Massachusetts college student without reading him his Miranda rights, something that is allowed on a limited basis when the public may be in immediate danger, such as instances in which bombs are planted and ready to go off.
The American Civil Liberties Union expressed concern about that possibility. Executive Director Anthony Romero said the legal exception applies only when there is a continued threat to public safety and is "not an open-ended exception" to the Miranda rule, which guarantees the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney.
The federal public defender's office in Massachusetts said it has agreed to represent Tsarnaev once he is charged. Miriam Conrad, public defender for Massachusetts, said he should have a lawyer appointed as soon as possible because there are "serious issues regarding possible interrogation."
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said Saturday afternoon that Tsarnaev was in serious but stable condition and was probably unable to communicate. Tsarnaev was at Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where 11 victims of the bombing were still being treated.
"I, and I think all of the law enforcement officials, are hoping for a host of reasons the suspect survives," the governor said after a ceremony at Fenway Park to honor the victims and survivors of the attack. "We have a million questions, and those questions need to be answered."
The all-day manhunt Friday brought the Boston area to a near standstill and put people on edge across the metropolitan area.
The break came around nightfall when a homeowner in Watertown saw blood on his boat, pulled back the tarp and saw a bloody Dzhokhar Tsarnaev hiding inside, police said. After an exchange of gunfire, he was seized and taken away in an ambulance.
Raucous celebrations erupted in and around Boston, with chants of "USA! USA!" Residents flooded the streets in relief four days after the two pressure-cooker bombs packed with nails and other shrapnel went off.
Michael Spellman said he bought tickets to Saturday's Red Sox game at Fenway Park to help send a message to the bombers.
"They're not going to stop us from doing things we love to do," he said, sitting a few rows behind home plate. "We're not going to live in fear."
During the long night of violence leading up to the capture, the Tsarnaev brothers killed an MIT police officer, severely wounded another lawman and took part in a furious shootout and car chase in which they hurled explosives at police from a large homemade arsenal, authorities said.
"We're in a gunfight, a serious gunfight. Rounds are going and then all of the sudden they see something being thrown at them and there's a huge explosion," Watertown Police Chief Edward Deveau said Saturday of the melee.
The chief said one of the explosives was the same type used during the Boston Marathon attack, and authorities later recovered a pressure cooker lid that had embedded in a car down the street. He said the suspects also tossed two grenades before Tamerlan ran out of ammunition and police tackled him.
But while handcuffing him, officers had to dive out of the way as Dzhokhar drove the carjacked Mercedes at them, Deveau said. The sport utility vehicle dragged Tamerlan's body down the block, he said. Police initially tracked the escaped suspect by a blood trail he left behind a house after abandoning the Mercedes, negotiating his surrender hours later after an area resident saw blood and found the suspect huddled in his boat.
Chechnya, where the Tsarnaev family has roots, has been the scene of two wars between Russian forces and separatists since 1994. That spawned an Islamic insurgency that has carried out deadly bombings in Russia and the region, although not in the West.
Investigators have not offered a motive for the Boston attack. But in interviews with officials and those who knew the Tsarnaevs, a picture has emerged of the older one as someone embittered toward the U.S., increasingly vehement in his Muslim faith and influential over his younger brother.
The Russian FSB intelligence service told the FBI in 2011 about information that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a follower of radical Islam, two law enforcement officials said Saturday.
According to an FBI news release, a foreign government said that Tamerlan Tsarnaev appeared to be strong believer and that he had changed drastically since 2010 as he prepared to leave the U.S. for travel to the Russian region to join unspecified underground groups.
The FBI did not name the foreign government, but the two officials said it was Russia. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk about the matter publicly.
The FBI said that in response, it interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev and relatives, and did not find any domestic or foreign terrorism activity. The bureau said it looked into such things as his telephone and online activity, his travels and his associations with others.
An uncle of the Tsarnaev brothers said he had a falling-out with Tamerlan over the man's increased commitment to Islam.
Ruslan Tsarni of Montgomery Village, Md., said Tamerlan told him in a 2009 phone conversation that he had chosen "God's business" over work or school. Tsarni said he then contacted a family friend who told him Tsarnaev had been influenced by a recent convert to Islam.
Tsarni said his relationship with his nephew ended after that call.
As for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, "he's been absolutely wasted by his older brother. I mean, he used him. He used him for whatever he's done," Tsarni said.
Albrecht Ammon, a downstairs-apartment neighbor of Tamerlan Tsarnaev in Cambridge, said in an interview that the older brother had strong political views about the United States. Ammon quoted Tsarnaev as saying that the U.S. uses the Bible as "an excuse for invading other countries."
Tamerlan Tsarnaev studied accounting as a part-time student at Bunker Hill Community College in Boston for three semesters from 2006 to 2008, the school said. He was married with a young daughter. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was a student at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.
As of Saturday, more than 50 victims of the bombing remained hospitalized, three in critical condition.
