Lewes Prison in the dock
11:00am Saturday 30th March 2013 in News By Anna Roberts, Crime reporter
In just one month last summer, three inmates were found hanged in their cells at Lewes prison.
Inquests into the deaths of ex-police officer Peter Foster, South Chailey man Nathan Vaughan-Jones and paedophile Colin Morton are still due to be concluded, but it is believed they took their own lives.
Tony Couchman, of Hastings, committed suicide in the prison in 2010. Now a prison service report has found HMP Lewes needs to improve its "self-harm monitoring procedure".
Crime reporter Anna Roberts investigates
There are "notable deficiencies" in training at a prison where three men hanged themselves in just a few weeks last summer, a report has said.
Lewes Prison has been criticised for how it addressed self-harm and suicide training, less than a year after three men were found hanged.
On July 1, Colin Morton, of Manor Road, Hastings, was found hanged.
Just days earlier Morton, 69, had been convicted of 14 counts of sex offences against children in the 1970s and 1980s.
A few weeks later, Nathan Vaughan-Jones, 34, was discovered dead in the prison.
In March 2012 Vaughan-Jones had been jailed for 11 years after admitting manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
He stabbed his "controlling" stepfather Nigel Ross to death outside his home in South Chailey.
Three days after the death of Vaughan-Jones, ex-police officer Peter Foster, who murdered his partner Heather Cooper and dumped her body in woodland near Petworth, was also found dead in the prison.
Life sentence
Just weeks earlier the 36-year-old had admitted murder and perverting the cause of justice and had been handed a life sentence.
Tony Couchman, of Hastings, died in the prison in July 2010 after slashing his wrists. He was awaiting trial, having been charged with the murder of his daughter Victoria.
Now the Prisons Report, who carried out an unannounced visit to the jail, has said that Lewes Prison could improve.
Inspectors who visited the prison found a number of staff confessed they would not enter a cell to save a prisoner, even if they were dying.
Safety issues
Raising concerns about how the prison addressed suicide and self-harm, the report said: "This was further compounded by the reluctance of many staff we spoke with to enter a cell on their own during patrol states to preserve life.
"Staff cited security and their own safety as taking precedence, and appeared unaware of the necessity for risk assessment to inform such a decision."
The report also highlighted that, despite the catalogue of recent tragedies, current training to deal with cases of self-harm was not good enough.
It said: "Too few staff had received recent refresher training in the self-harm monitoring procedure, and although the quality of documents we sampled was reasonable there were notable deficiencies."
'Too many suicides'
The report also revealed that an average of more than seven people a month self-harm at the prison. Between May and October 2012, 44 cases of self-harm were reported, actually fewer than most prisons.
MP for Lewes Norman Baker said: "There have been too many suicides at Lewes Prison. It is always a concern when a suicide attempt is successful.
"It's partly staffing numbers, but it is also practices in the prison. However, I am sure the prison governor has been working hard. There are good aspects to the prison.
"Some prisoners are teaching others to read and write, which gives prisoners a value – that is a brilliant scheme."
'Generally safe'
Mark Gettleson, of prisoners' charity the Howard League for Penal Reform, said: "Although inspectors found Lewes Prison to be 'generally safe', it is disturbing that three inmates had taken their lives since the previous inspection.
"Three self-inflicted deaths in prison are three too many.
"The number of people taking their own lives in custody across the country has fallen significantly in recent years – from 103 in the 12 months to September 2004 to 56 in the 12 months to September 2012.
"This is due in part to better staff training and greater awareness of the problems vulnerable people experience behind bars.
'Fresh training'
"Efforts must continue to ensure this trend is not reversed.
"It is essential that prison staff are regularly assessed and given fresh training so they are fully aware of procedures and have the skills they need to respond swiftly and effectively in an emergency."
Chief inspector for prisons Nick Hardwick said: "Overall this is a good report. The progress we identified previously has been sustained, and the prison's strengths, notably the safe and decent environment, continue.
"Lewes is generally a safe prison, although since we last inspected, three prisoners had tragically taken their own lives.
'Safe environment'
Recorded incidents, nevertheless, were low and self-harm prevention measures were adequate, although some aspects required attention."
Michael Spurr, chief executive officer of the National Offender Management Service, said: "I am pleased that the chief inspector recognises the progress that has been made at Lewes and the respectful and safe environment it provides for the prisoners it holds."
The Argus called the prison and the Ministry of Justice, who did not respond.
Two-fifths of inmates spend day in cell
Inspectors condemned Lewes Prison for not making an effort to get inmates working.
The report revealed almost two-fifths of the prison population spent the working day in their cells.
Chief inspector of prisons Nick Hardwick said: "The lack of progress in getting prisoners into meaningful work is disappointing.
"The area of greatest concern remains the provision of purposeful activity. Time out of cell was limited and affected by the prison's failure to deliver daily its own published timetable.
"We found just under two-fifths of the population locked up doing nothing during the working part of the day.
"This was in part due to the lack of activity for them, but was worsened, inexcusably, because not all the available activity places were used.
"The range of education was adequate but teaching needed improvement and there was too little vocational training. Much of the work on offer was mundane and menial."
Mark Gettleson, of the Howard League for Penal Reform, said: "It is essential that people in Lewes Prison have more meaningful activities to do, as the public deserve better than to have them lying about in bed all day.
"Proper employment should be provided for all prisoners so they can use their time constructively and develop skills to prepare them for work on release."
Lewes is a category B male prison which holds people mainly from Sussex.
It holds adult convicted criminals and suspects on remand for whom "the very highest conditions of security are not necessary, but for whom escape must be made very difficult".
It was used as a young offenders' prison during the 1940s and 1950s and briefly became a borstal.
It houses more than 740 prisoners. The majority of cells are shared but some are single.

Prisons need to become cost-neutral through enforced hard labour before further resources go towards pandering to criminals. There are plenty more deserving cases that first deserve attention, e.g, the victims of violent crime.

So a bent copper and peado killed themselves? At least they aren't a burden on the tax payer anymore. Prisoners should have certain human rights removed from them the second they they take that step and break the law.
At least the poor child the peado abused wont have to live knowing that sick man wont be back out on the streets anytime soon.

"Nearly 6000 people commit suicide in the UK each year. Each one is tragic and avoidable."
And how can we stop these 6000 suicides?

Cool SILVER SURFER Series Art by Uwe De Witt
I don't know what it is about Silver Surfer, but I've been coming across a lot of really cool fan art featuring that comic book character recently. This amazing art series was created by Uwe De Witt, and the stuff he has here makes the character look so cool. I wonder if we'll ever see Silver Surfer back up on the big screen.

The shooting in the Aurora, Colorado, movie theater has incited the usual debate over guns. One side says tighter gun restrictions could have prevented the horrible incident that night. The other responds that more guns in the hands of law-abiding people might have prevented it.
While the theater chain prohibits firearms, it is hard to say that the alleged shooter, James Holmes, would have been stopped by armed moviegoers. He wore protection from head to toe and caused mass confusion by setting off tear gas. This isn't to say that a few shots might not have stunned Holmes, giving others time to subdue him. Perhaps there would have been fewer victims that night. We'll never know.
However one comes down on this issue, we should understand that it is not relevant to the gun-policy question. Even if there was no chance of stopping Holmes, that would not justify restricting law-abiding people from carrying handguns.
Let's go over some basics, which the gun controllers stubbornly refuse to acknowledge:
People intent on breaking the law against murder are not likely to respect a law against possession of firearms. The only people restricted by gun laws are law-abiding people. This point is so obvious, one wonders why some deny or ignore it.
The criminal, unfortunately, chooses the time, place, and manner of his crime. I don't like that rule either, but that's the way it is. Criminals aren't irrational, so they tend not to pick victims standing near cops. When you are attacked, calling 9-1-1 will do little good. For the record, the police are under no legal obligation to defend you. The courts have spoken on this—not that your survivors' ability to sue the police would bring much comfort.
The upshot is that, high-flown political theory aside, no one
can truly delegate his or her right to or responsibility for one's
own self-defense. Ultimately, you are the only one who can look out
for your safety, because you are only one who is with you 24/7 and
therefore the only one you can count on when the criminal targets
you. That's just a fact.
Another fact is that while guns are used to take innocent life, they are also used to protect innocent life. The numbers are in dispute—ranging from 100,000 to over 2 million times a year—but no reasonable person can doubt that people use guns to prevent violent crime, often, if not usually, without firing them. Gun opponents downplay this by distracting us with dubious statistics on how often criminals disarm and kill their victims or how often guns are used to escalate arguments over card games and fender benders. The fact remains: Guns save lives.
Many people don't appreciate this because most such incidents are not reported to police or the news media. Moreover, the national media are uninterested in defensive gun-use stories. Local news outlets pay attention when an elderly person or shopkeeper uses a gun to thwart a would-be criminal, but the national media, which give wall-to-wall coverage to mass shootings, apparently have no time to report life-saving uses of firearms. No wonder some people believe handguns are only tools for criminals.
Even if we concede that tighter gun laws would have stopped the Aurora shooting—unlikely, because a determined Holmes could have acquired guns in the inevitable black market—those laws also would have cost innocent lives, because people who would have used guns to defend themselves would have been unable to do so. Why are those lives less important than the others?
People are not interchangeable. Even if gun control could save one life—or a hundred—in one place, that would not justify putting other people at the mercy of criminals somewhere else. People have a right to defend themselves, and handguns are by far the best way for smaller, physically weaker innocent people (women, please note) to protect themselves from larger, stronger bad people. (If all guns were to disappear, who would gain the advantage?)
Finally, it is unappreciated that along with increasingly wider gun ownership and liberalized concealed-carry laws, violent crime has been declining for years. The Aurora tragedy should not overshadow that happy fact.

Maybe the problem isn't Hollywood, a lack of Christian ethics, guns, Occupy Wall Street, nerds, or the Tea Party. Maybe the problem is crazy people sometimes shoot other people. And maybe what is most surprising is how little people have been pushing the familiar narrative that a better, perhaps more coercive mental health system could have prevented tragedies like the July 20 shooting that killed 12 people who just wanted to see The Dark Knight Rises. But here comes that narrative, and maybe when the blame the Tea Party! I mean Occupy Wall Street! screams have died down, more people will go back to worrying that the mentally ill are all one moment from massacring us all, especially if they're obsessed with Batman.
Though mental illness is certainly less scientifically solid than some experts would like you to believe (check out Jacob Sullum on some of the problems with the holy psychiatric bible, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV) it also exists in some fashion. In spite of the terror over Sarah Palin and angry rhetoric post-Tuscon shooting, it turns out Jared Loughner was just pretty God damn loony. Norway's monstrous Anders Brevik, on the other hand, had a long-winded manifesto detailing why he had to blow up and then shoot 70-odd countrymen. Still, you could argue that he was loony as well. Aren't people who slaughter other people crazy? What else do you call hunting down children in order to keep your country free from immigrants? The debate about James Holmes, the suspect behind the Aurora, Colorado massacre is now beginning; is he crazy or a cold, calculating terrorist? What's the difference? Can he be both, much like Columbine killer Eric Harris turns out to have been a probable psychopath who also had ambitions to change the world with violence?
Over at Pajamas Media, Clayton E. Cramer has posited a variation on this familiar, anti-libertarian theme. Cramer writes that the origins of some America's recent, nastiest shootings stem from that period of deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill that happened in the 1960s-1980s. Back in the day, it seems, you didn't tend to see homeless, mentally ill folks on every other street corner, because they were locked up. Cramer doesn't exactly go out and say that the standards for committing folks should be lowered, but he strongly implies just that. He points to the supposed dangers of Addington vs. Texas (1979) which established that long-term involuntary commitment was kind of a serious thing. So that decision "raised the burden of proof required to commit persons from the usual civil burden of proof of 'preponderance of the evidence' to 'clear and convincing' evidence." However, "there was no reduction in the rates of commitment as a result of the decision."
Basically, the old standby "beyond a reasonable doubt" was an unfair burden on the state, due to the tricky nature of mental illness. So they decided that the standard for commitment was somewhere in the middle of standards of higher standard of proof for criminal cases versus less for civil ones.
Cramer is clearly not keen on this, and he points to several studies that point to the high number of prison inmates who seem to be suffering from mental illness. He links to to a 2005 Department of Justice study which reports that 65 percent of local inmates, 56 percent of state inmates, and 45 percent of federal inmates have some kind of mental health issues. But of course, huge percentages of the 2 million people in prison are there for drug-related crimes, not exactly obvious signs that they are would-be Loughners, Mansons, or Dahmers.
In two pages, Cramer is rather squirrelly as he avoids saying exactly what he wishes the standards of commitment might be, only that they are not what they should be (and that they are not what they once were). He concludes:
When you watch a relative spiral down into severe mental illness, you know that there is something terribly wrong, but our legal system has made it nearly impossible to provide help to those who are insane.
The mainstream media, of course, are using this tragedy in Aurora as an argument for restrictive gun control. But the core problem — the deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill — is simply being ignored.
Over at Fox News, psychiatrist Keith Ablow is also sure that there is a similar lesson to be gleaned from Aurora:
Because, in the end, it will become clear that more than one person -- and probably several, including family, friends, neighbors, classmates, health care personnel or educators -- knew or should have known that James Holmes was confused, losing sight of reality, experiencing severe mood swings, withdrawing from the world around him, experiencing violent fantasies or all of the above.
He goes on to worry that many people don't know they can get help if a loved one is acting strangely:
They don't know that they can call 911 or that they can call their local police. They don't know that they can petition a district court to commit a loved one to a psychiatric facility. Many have no idea that their communities are covered by mental health centers with crisis teams that are duty bound to respond to such matters by at least considering the possible risks or evaluating the individual in question.
Perhaps so, but Reason readers might recall the dangers of calling police when someone is in emotional distress, chronic or acute. Even in the last two years, Kelly Thomas, Kyle Miller, and Nick Christie — all mentally ill in some fashion — died at the hands of police. Brian Aitken, who nearly went to jail for seven years thanks to New Jersey's convoluted gun laws, found himself in police hands after his mother called them, concerned about her son's mental state.
The state's ease of commitment was also chipped away at in the 1975 case O'Connor vs. Donaldson which held that "A State cannot constitutionally confine a non-dangerous individual who is capable of surviving safely in freedom by themselves or with the help of willing and responsible family members or friends" in response to a man who had been held for 15 years in a mental institution without treatment and without any proof that he was a danger to others, besides a few expressions of paranoia delusions pre-commitment. Fifteen years is a very long time to violate a man's rights just because he displayed some seemingly baseless paranoia.
As Jacob Sullum wrote in April 2011 in Reason's special issue on the Tuscon shooting, when this more commitment idea was being bandied about as a could-have-stopped it thesis:
On The New Republic's website, University of Maryland political scientist William Galston warned that "the rights-based hyper-individualism of our laws governing mental illness is endangering the security of our community and the functioning of our democracy."
These and many other critics argue that innocent people could be saved if it were easier to imprison dangerous lunatics like Jared Lee Loughner before they commit crimes. But the champions of involuntary psychiatric treatment rarely consider the innocent people who would be stripped of their freedom and forced to take antipsychotic drugs if the government were allowed to lock up potential Loughners based on little more than their wacky beliefs and off-putting behavior.
Reason contributor and editor in chief of The Freeman Sheldon Richman also wrote in a 2004 essay in Freedom Daily that even libertarians are guilty of forgetting about the inherent civil liberties violations that involuntary commitment entails:
A person diagnosed as mentally ill and judged to be a danger to himself or others has practically none of the rights enjoyed by the rest of us. Notice the failure to distinguish between harm to oneself and to others — a basic distinction in libertarianism. Such a person can be committed to a hospital and forcibly administered drugs and other brutal psychiatric interventions. Or he can be subjected to "outpatient commitment," according to which he will be compelled to take drugs. If he refuses, he can be hospitalized, that is, locked up. It is estimated that some two million people are committed against their will in the United States each year.
It's true. Even if you are unconvinced of Thomas Szasz's thesis of The Myth of Mental Illness, it is undeniable that to lock someone up for mental illness can be worse than a jail sentence in that it can be done for literally nothing except strange behavior. And it can be indefinite.
It's been a handful of decades since the U.S. forcibly sterilized scores of thousands of the "feeble-minded" and disabled. Around that time they also spent years violating all medical ethics by neglecting to tell 400 black males that their syphilis was not being treated. Doctors, even those of mental health, know a lot, but they don't know everything. Hopefully in a few years people will look at involuntary commitment of individuals with as much shame as we now look at eugenics, the Tuskegee Experiment, or even the Japanese internment.
Meanwhile, shootings will still happen every once in a while, because that's just what happens. As someone who had every right to be irrationally angry, screaming for blood, or laws or anything to fix what happened, once said, "in a free society, we're going to be subject to people like this. I prefer this to the alternative." That was the father of Jared Loughner's youngest victim, nine-year-old Christina Green, just one day after she died.
Reason has reported on mental illness questions in the past, most notably Jacob Sullum's fascinating 2000 interview with Thomas Szasz. Also check out, "Mad Enough to Lead," my May look at two different books exploring the link between mental illness and power.]]>
"Nobody panics when things go according to plan, even if the plan is horrifying," the Joker tells the district attorney whose fiancée he just killed at a hospital he's about to blow up in the film The Dark Knight. Last Friday, a gunman walked into a midnight premiere of The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Colorado and opened fire, killing at least 12 and shooting more than 50. Theaters in New York City and around the country quickly increased security for The Dark Knight Rises, though despite the tragedy, the film hit $165 million in its opening weekend, short of industry expectations of $190 million but still firmly in blockbuster territory.
Tragedies like these follow a familiar cycle. Because they are disruptive and out-of-the-ordinary, they receive an abundance of media coverage, which in turn gives life to stalled agendas while birthing new ones. The president addresses the nation, articulating feelings many people share. We mourn the victims, even though they are strangers to us. We ask why it happened, and what can we do to keep it from happening again.
We have been doing all of this for a very long time.
America's first modern mass murderer was Howard Unruh, who killed 13 people in 12 minutes on the streets of Camden, New Jersey in 1949. He was 28. He served in World War II. Could it have been the war that drove him to kill? (Unruh documented the circumstances and details of every German he killed in battle). Could it have been movies? He saw a double feature, The Lady Gambles and I Cheated the Law, the day before the killings. (He thought one of the actresses, Barbara Stanwyck, was one of his neighbors.)
Unruh was eventually diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic and ruled insane. At the time, it made him immune to criminal prosecution and he spent the rest of his life in a mental hospital. He died in 2009.
And what about the perpetrator of the Aurora shootings? There's no easy answer, but free agency demands that the responsibility lay with the shooter. Some are asking how we can change public policy to prevent this from ever happening again. If access to guns did it, control them, if video games did it, censor them, if a certain kind of movie did it, stop making that kind of movie. They're rousing suggestions, but insufficient. The mass murderer in Norway killed more than 70 people in a country with fairly strict controls on guns. Howard Unruh killed when many of the pioneers of video games were still in diapers.
Mass murder has been happening for millenia; a recently published research paper suggests a mass grave found at the archaeological site at Titris Hoyuk in present-day Tukey was the result of a mass killing—19 people, including three women, two children, and an infant—more than 4,000 years ago.
What's much more remarkable is that we live such safe, predictable lives. After all, if access to guns, video games, and violent movies regularly inspired mass murder, America would be a wasteland.
Society works because we trust each other to be sane. In the 24-hour media storm after the Aurora shootings, perhaps the sagest commentary (at least that I heard) came from TMZ's Harvey Levin on Fox News' America Live. He said: "[w]e have been seeing this increasingly, where everyone's kind of trying to understand this guy to figure him out. At a point, you're not going to be able to do that, because you gotta be crazy to do what he allegedly did... These weak links exist, it is just a part of living in this world, and the issue is do you become agoraphobic, do you shut yourself in hermetically or do you take the chance of living your life?"
If we base our attitudes, our policies, or our way of life in response to the actions of a few jokers, then the nuts will have won.

It's funny to think that for millions of Americans, Ice-T is best known as a television cop on the hit show Law & Order: SVU, rather than as a pioneering gangster rapper who achieved special infamy when his thrash metal band Body Count released the song "Cop Killer" back in 1992. Told from the perspective of a violent criminal, "Cop Killer" was widely denounced at the time by both police organizations and various conservative activists, most famously including the actor and future National Rifle Association leader Charlton Heston, who attacked Ice-T and his record label for "every vicious, vulgar, dirty word they were selling." Body Count ultimately dropped the song from later versions of their debut album.
But what a difference a few decades can make. In an unsigned editorial yesterday, the conservative New York Sun lauded Ice-T as a Second Amendment hero for his comments in the wake of the horrific movie theater shootings in Aurora, Colorado, where the rapper defended gun rights and told a British interviewer, "I'll give up my gun when everybody else does." As Ice-T pointed out, "it's legal in the United States, it's part of our Constitution." Furthermore, he continued, "The right to bear arms is because that's the last form of defense against tyranny. Not to hunt. It's to protect yourself from the police."
I'm a little surprised that Ice-T's connection between tyranny and the police went down as smooth as it did with the Sun's editors. Yet rather than chiding the rapper for his negative take on the boys in blue, the Sun favorably compared Ice-T's arguments to those of Founding Father Elbridge Gerry, who said the Second Amendment was "intended to secure the people against the mal-administration of government." I hope the author of "Cop Killer" enjoys his new reputation as a constitutional originalist.

It took The New York Times a full two weeks back in 1992 to settle on a scapegoat for the horrific shootings at Simon's Rock College in New Barrington, Massachusetts. "When his music changed, Wayne Lo changed, and in time two people lay dead, four others were wounded and a sheltering place had become a killing field," declared reporter Anthony DePalma in a front-page story about the 18-year-old shooter, Wayne Lo, who had arrived in court wearing a shirt advertising the New York hardcore punk band Sick of It All. "As he sits in the Berkshire County House of Corrections in Massachusetts, charged with murder and assault with a deadly weapon," DePalma continued, "only Mr. Lo knows what led him to turn away from the classical music he once loved and instead embrace the violent, discordant music known as hardcore, and a surly group of students who were equally entranced by it."
Thus an entire genre of music was smeared by America's "newspaper of record" in the desperate attempt to explain the foul deeds of a deranged person. "Mr. Lo's problems, no doubt, go much deeper than his T-shirt," wrote the members of Sick of It All in an eloquent letter to the editor, protesting the "facile connections" the paper drew between Lo's taste in music and "whatever psychological collapse led him to the acts of violence he committed."
If early reports out of Aurora, Colorado prove true, and alleged shooter James Holmes did indeed tell police "I'm the Joker" after he was arrested for opening fire on a crowded movie theater showing The Dark Knight Rises, killing 12 and injuring more than 50, it won't be long before commenters and politicians draw a new round of facile connections between violent entertainment and violent actions.
It's therefore important to state the obvious at the outset: Millions of people enjoy violent forms of pop culture every day, from movies to video games to music to comic books, and they don't turn around and harm anybody. Pop culture doesn't make you pull the trigger.]]>
Ladies, gentlemen, and Hit & Run commenters, I give you Marshall Ramsey of the Jackson Clarion-Ledger:
Lots of speculation, to be expected, in the wake of the shooting at a midnight showing of Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Colorado. 12 are dead and at least 38 injured. Here's some news:
We have--and good!--a culture where people have the ways and means to blather about whatever is going on, and plenty of free time to so, and to reach everyone on earth who might care. Why, many of us are even paid to do so. And such blathering--also good!--tries to pretend it's relevant.
Hence the collection (which will grow) that Matt Welch blogged below of wild speculation regarding the horrible murders in Aurora Colorado last night. And as CNN's Piers Morgan is leading the way (with Salman Rushdie following), there will be attempts to use the nightmarish event to plump for stricter laws, of some sort (often unspecified), to restrict people's ability to possess or carry weapons, since it was someone carrying a weapon that committed the crime.
But turning the (still) very rare criminal and evil uses of guns to indiscriminately harm innocents into a reason for policy change doesn't work that well in America any more, and it shouldn't, and it likely won't now.
As I wrote after the last big newsmaking American mass shooting, the one by Jared Laughner that wounded Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-Ariz.), and not much has changed:
Americans' attitudes toward gun laws have shifted since the mid-'90s, when Congress passed the now-expired "assault weapon" ban and the Brady Act. Brady instituted federal background checks for every potential gun buyer....At the start of the 1990s, according to Gallup polls, 78 percent of Americans wanted stricter gun control. By 2009 that number had fallen to a historical low of 44 percent. As Americans' attitudes have shifted, even Democrats have mostly avoided trying to expand gun control at the national level....
There is no consistent association between gun crimes and easy access to guns or the right to carry. Crimes such as Loughner's are so bizarre and rare that there is no sense in trying to craft laws aimed at preventing them. Despite constantly expanding gun ownership—the number of new firearms entering American possession averages around 4 million a year—and expanded rights to legally carry weapons, the last two decades have seen a 41 percent decline in violent crime rates. Since the 2004 expiration of the "assault weapon" ban, murder rates are down 15 percent. Many pundits have tried to explain Loughner's crimes by citing Arizona's "loose" gun laws, including the lack of permit requirement for concealed or open carry. It's true that Loughner exercised his right to carry without a permit, but he would doubtless have carried the gun even if he was violating the law doing so...
A CBS poll two weeks after the massacre found that 51 percent of Americans still think gun laws should either stay the same or be loosened. That was down from 58 percent in March 2009 but still above 2002 levels, when 56 percent of respondents in another CBS poll supported tighter gun control.
Americans understand that even strange people should be able to own weapons, and not just for deer hunting. The very rare crimes of very unusual Americans should not dictate how everyone's right to self-defense is managed, and even in the wake of tragedy that is fortunately unlikely to change
A concomitant wave of blathering won't be about gun laws, but about motives--finding out exactly what made accused shooter James Holmes do it, so that we can either decry or attempt to squash such influences on other lives, or target gun restrictions somehow on such folk.
Why did Holmes, presuming he is the guilty party, do it? Because he wanted to. Whatever other influences we may discover in his background--his leisure interests, politics, philosophy, family (his mom wasn't surprised at all) don't explain it, as assuredly thousands/millions of other young men will share such interests or rough background. The endless and unmanageable mystery of the individual's power and choice to do evil is what's at play, and there aren't many explanations of that of policy relevance.
What are some of the seemingly policy-relevant aspects of this story? Colorado in general has very liberal (in a pro-Second Amendment sense) concealed carry laws, though the particular spot, a Cinemark Theater, apparently bars non-law enforcement from bringing in guns. Whether Holmes knew this and chose that site for his murders deliberately is something we don't know yet.
Guns are still very, very dangerous. The vast, vast, vast majority of people who have them still use them safely, and in many cases to protect innocent life. They aren't disappearing from the Earth, and evil people's choices to use them can't be meaningfully curtailed.
Trying to "turn tragedy into politics" feels gross, because the deaths and the grief for the living are real and terrible and demand respect--and in reality, except for the news and commentary chatter today, this is unlikely to turn into politics, for reasons stated above. If I weren't a professional writer about the Second Amendment (in my 2008 book Gun Control on Trial) on record as believing in the right to bear arms, I wouldn't dream of weighing in at all. The White House is being circumspect as well, saying the crime is not changing Obama's general attitude about gun possession.
If you want to keep up on a well-curated collection of ongoing links about actual news as it arises regarding the Aurora shooting, Marc Ambinder of The Atlantic is doing a good job of that on Twitter. Zerohedge has a long (but incomplete) list of mass gun murders in the past couple of decades. Bureau of Justice Statistics on gun crime (plummeted enormously since 1993).]]>
Here is the initial reaction to this morning's shootings at a Colorado movie theater from the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence:
Our sympathies go out to the victims and families in Aurora, CO.
This is yet another horrific reminder that guns enable mass killings.
Although that sounds like an argument for a comprehensive ban on firearms, the Brady Campaign instead recommends that you respond to the murders in Aurora by signing a petition:
The horrendous shooting in Aurora, CO is yet another tragic reminder that we have a national problem of easy availability of guns in this country.
Sign our petition to demand Congress address this problem:
I believe that dangerous people should not have guns and call on all candidates to address the issue of gun violence in America
I will not vote for, or support, any candidate for elected office who will not sign the following "Statement Of Principle Against Arming Dangerous People":
I believe that these people should not be able to buy, own, or carry a gun anywhere in our nation:
• Convicted felons
• Convicted domestic abusers
• Terrorists
• People found to be dangerously mentally ill
Federal law already prohibits gun possession by felons, people convicted of misdemeanors involving domestic violence, and people "committed to a mental institution" or "adjudicated as a mental defective." I gather that the Brady Campaign wants to expand the last category to include people deemed "dangerous," though not dangerous enough to be committed, by a mental health professional. And if "terrorists" are not already covered by the "felon" category, that must mean they have not attempted or committed any crimes yet but nevertheless lose their Second Amendment rights based on a hunch, presumably extrapolated from their opinions or affiliations, that they might commit crimes in the future. Leaving aside the point that people bent on committing mass murder probably don't worry much about violating gun laws, I see problems with both of these proposals, since they are based on unreliable predictions of future behavior rather than a demonstrated propensity for violence.
In any event, there is no evidence that the man arrested for the Aurora shootings, James Holmes, falls into any of these categories. The Wall Street Journal reports that Holmes "has no criminal record and doesn't appear to have links to extremist or terrorist group." As is often the case with gun controllers, the Brady Campaign's response to this crime is a non sequitur.]]>
Undeterred by how wrong they got the Columbine shootings 13 years ago, or how disgustingly politicized they turned Jared Loughner's 2011 rampage, the humans who work for and talk with journalistic outlets are again rushing to speculative judgment about Jim Holmes, the suspected Batman murderer in Aurora, Colorado. Some examples:
* ABC News reporter Brian Ross points a tentative finger at the Tea Party:
"There's a Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colorado, page on the Colorado Tea Party site as well, talking about him joining the Tea Party last year....Now, we don't know if this is the same Jim Holmes. But it's Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colorado."
(Stat-nerd Nate Silver cautions: "Per my math, there are ~25 people named James Holmes in Denver metro. So careful unless you have info specifically IDing alleged shooter.")
* Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) blames the opponents of Judeo-Christian theology:
During a radio interview on The Heritage Foundation's "Istook Live!" show, Gohmert was asked why he believes such senseless acts of violence take place. Gohmert responded by talking about the weakening of Christian values in the country.
"Some of us happen to believe that when our founders talked about guarding our virtue and freedom, that that was important," he said. "Whether it's John Adams saying our Constitution was made only for moral and religious people ... Ben Franklin, only a virtuous people are capable of freedom, as nations become corrupt and vicious they have more need of masters. We have been at war with the very pillars, the very foundation of this country."
"You know what really gets me, as a Christian, is to see the ongoing attacks on Judeo-Christian beliefs, and then some senseless crazy act of a derelict takes place."
* Northeastern University criminologist Jack Levin makes a clinical diagnosis and blames bullying:
Levin theorized the gunman was "chronically depressed," likely having suffered some type of recent loss — perhaps a job or a relationship — and had become isolated. [...]
"We don't know enough about him to be sure, but my guess is he's kind of like a bullied youngster who feels humiliated and ignored and decides he can be important by taking many lives, so he becomes a big-shot celebrity," Levin said.
* Ex-FBI profiler Clint Van Zandt on MSNBC says Holmes could be a "dark, Trekkie-like person." UPDATE: Watch the video!
Will update as (unfortunately) necessary.
UPDATE 1: On CNN, profiler Pat Brown blames violent video games. UPDATE: Watch the video!
teenage psychopaths get inspired by [video games] and want to make it real.
UPDATE 2: The Daily Mail suspects Occupy Wall Street:
one private investigator has said that Holmes may have been part of Occupy Wall Street's most violent faction Occupy Black Bloc.
Bill Warner told how the Batman movie portrays the OWS crowd in a negative vein, leading him to believe that may have been a cause behind gunman's rage.
Groping for shape and substance in the long shadow of The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises is an unexpected disappointment. Nolan, a director of rare intelligence and logistical skill who's completely at home in the blockbuster idiom, stages some exciting scenes here (especially an earth-ripping attack on a packed football stadium); but most of the requisite battles and automotive chases feel recycled—we've seen them before, and better-organized, in TDK. It's a peculiarly dispiriting film.
Crucially, and predictably, TDKR offers nothing on the order of Heath Ledger's electrifying performance in the previous movie. Ledger's Joker was a singular creation by a gifted actor, and it powered that great picture past its occasional lapses. Here, the designated villain is Bane, a muscle-bound mountain of ambiguously motivated evil, played by another fine actor, Tom Hardy. Bane's most visible super-skill is underwhelming—he's a really good fist-fighter. And with his shaved head and his mask, he recalls not only the hulking Humungus of the 1981 Road Warrior, but any number of cheesy professional wrestlers. The mask itself is a serious problem. A techno-appliance said to infuse the character with a steady supply of pain-killing something-or-other, it covers the lower half of Hardy's face, robbing him of any possibility of facial expression and drowning his voice in a Vader-esque rumble that renders some of his line-readings incomprehensible. Even the Bane super-costume is wanting: in place of the Joker's rancid nattiness, we have here a big lug in a sheepskin jacket.
The story, approximately derived from the Batman comic sequence Knightfall, is an over-crowded jumble, set eight years after the events of the previous movie. Batman, in disgrace after taking the fall for the death of two-faced DA Harvey Dent, has disappeared from the scene; and Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale again), the do-gooding billionaire beneath the bat-cowl, has become a recluse, hobbling around his mansion in a bathrobe and beard. (He's still in a deep mope over his long-dead love object, Rachel Dawes.) Although the movie opens with a spectacular mid-air plane hijacking that wouldn't be out of place in a latter-day Bond film, the introductory scenes that follow it are slow to coalesce.
The admirable Gary Oldman is back as Police Commissioner Gordon, but he spends a considerable part of the picture out of commission. Morgan Freeman once more lends his avuncular presence as Bruce Wayne's armorer, Lucius Fox, but to less intrinsic purpose. And while the reliably excellent Michael Caine, returning as Wayne's loyal Butler, Alfred, imparts a rich, sorrowful warmth to his character (and has one especially moving scene), before long you begin to wish he were doing so in a movie more worthy of it. It's good that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is on hand, playing a police detective named Blake, who has a surprising connection to Bruce Wayne. He lends the picture some youthful spine, although he's overmatched by its enervating sprawl.
It's left to Anne Hathaway to give the brightest performance in a picture that's otherwise dark and glum throughout. She plays Selina Kyle, a slinky cat burglar, complete with catsuit and lethal high heels (she's never referred to as Catwoman, but we get the idea). Selina has connections of her own to some nasty thugs in the Bane orbit, but also a romantic thing for Bruce Wayne. Her conflicted nature enables some useful plot complications as the story progresses, and while she's around quite a bit—skillfully gunning a borrowed Bat-pod, kicking a lot of thug butt, getting off a few zingy lines—you kind of wish, whenever the movie slumps, that there were even more of her.
The film is thick with politics of an obliviously nonsensical sort. In an attempt to lend the tale contemporary resonance, the script (by director Nolan and his brother, Jonathan) positions Bane as a self-declared revolutionary, come to liberate Gotham from its oppression by the city's wealthy upper crust (the One Percent, if it need be said). But Bane is so clearly a vicious nihilist—he empties the municipal prison, arms the freed inmates, sets up kangaroo courts—that it's not at all clear why the inexplicably angry populace (they're living in a city scrubbed crime-free after the death of Harvey Dent—what is their problem?) would so ecstatically rally to him. Members of the real-world Occupy movement may bristle at being thus depicted, even at second hand, as witless sheep.
As Bane and his goons wreak mounting havoc on Gotham, we know that only one man can stop them. But where is Batman? Unfortunately, in a major miscalculation, the caped hero is nowhere in evidence for much of the middle section of the film—Bruce Wayne having been consigned by Bane to a faraway prison (in India, it looks like). In this gloomy hellhole, we witness a number of silly things. There's a medical miracle of breathtaking preposterousness, and a long, tedious series of escape attempts whose main effect is to help stretch the movie's bloated runtime to nearly three hours.
I don't think it spoils anything to reveal that Batman ultimately makes it back to Gotham, and that he and Bane have a really big fistfight. The picture ends in a very dark way—and yet, with a giggle-triggering reveal, it also clearly sets up a sequel. Since Nolan has firmly indicated that he won't be doing a fourth installment of this saga, you have to wonder what luckless director might be brought onboard to pick up the Bat shards he's left behind.
Kurt Loder is a writer living in New York. His third book, a collection of film reviews called The Good, the Bad and the Godawful, is now available. Follow him on Twitter at kurt_loder.]]>
As conservative chatterer Rush Limbaugh was perceptive enough to discover yesterday, Bane—the name of the super-strong monster in Christopher Nolan's upcoming superhero flick, The Dark Knight Rises—sounds suspiciously similar to Bain Capital, a financial services firm co-founded by Mitt Romney in 1984.
As Limbaugh pointed out:
"Do you think that it is accidental, that the name of the really vicious, fire-breathing, four-eyed, whatever-it-is villain in this movie is named Bane?"
When writers first created the character of Bane in January 1993, they wanted a name that would inspire terror. Plus, they obviously knew that 19 years later, Romney would run for the American presidency. So they had to set in motion a sequence of events whereby a movie adaptation of their comic would emerge in 2005, with the series culminating in the summer before the 2012 election.
The decision to name the villain Bane was and is a transparent effort to discredit and villanize Romney in the eyes of the American people by linking him with the likes of a brutal, hulking leviathan luchadore. This may very well be the most brilliant PR move of the last century, fated to determine the outcome of the most important election of our lifetimes.
Or not.
More on Romney's bane at Bain here.]]>
In 2006 comic book auteur Frank Miller, who redefined Batman with his grim 1985 graphic novel The Dark Knight Returns, announced that he had begun work on a new story about the Caped Crusader. Titled Holy Terror, Batman!, the book would pit Batman and his longtime frenemy Catwoman against Muslim terrorists. It was to be "a piece of propaganda," Miller told The Telegraph, in which "Batman kicks Al Qaeda's ass."
This year, under the truncated title Holy Terror! (Legendary), Miller released his vision—sans Batman. Instead, it features a suspiciously Batman-like hero called The Fixer and a feline, cat-burgling partner who is not Catwoman, gleefully torturing and murdering a terrorist before invading a mosque and wiping out its worshippers and inhabitants—all terrorists—with a chemical attack. It's crude, bigoted, and deeply unpleasant to read, less a story than an ugly revenge fantasy. Miller was right: It's pure propaganda, but not in a good way. —Peter Suderman]]>
The L.A. Times catches a hint of the Occupy Wall Street movement in the trailer for next year's Batman sequel, The Dark Knight Rises:
We already knew Christopher Nolan was up to something topical with "The Dark Knight Rises" when he decided to shoot near Occupy Wall Street. Now we have a clearer sense of what that topic is.
As the Batman film's new trailer released online Monday suggests, it's economic disparity and government response to organized protest, among other subjects.
Over a haunting rendition of a child singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" (lest there be any doubt about his national themes), Nolan offers us a peek at his haves-and-have-nots preoccupation when he has Anne Hathaway's Selina Kyle whisper in the ear of Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne a message from the 99%.
Here's the trailer:
Director Christopher Nolan's last Batman film, The Dark Knight, featured the Caped Crusader hacking Gotham's mobile phone network, turning it into a network of sensors, and using it to track down the Joker, a plot point which a number of people took as a quasi-endorsement of Bush-era anti-terror surveillance tactics. I remain skeptical, however, that Nolan's seriously trying to make a substantive political statement with either movie; it seems more like he's just trying to lend his comic book movies additional gravity by alluding to relevant political issues. It's context, not argument.

"It was a great surprise when I won. It's a pretty competitive art contest," said Makuchal, 36, of Pocomoke City. "There are a lot of good artists in Maryland and a couple of them have won the federal contest, which is a really prestigious prize. So it's definitely an honor to win in a state that has a really competitive field of artists."
"I get my reference from pictures and stuff like that, and I just happened to have just the right picture. Just the way the sun and the light was hitting it, I just thought it'd make a really great design," Makuchal said. "Of all the three designs [I had], I thought that'd be the strongest piece."
Makuchal's interest in wildlife art developed early. In 1998, at age 21, he became the youngest artist to win the Maryland stamp design contest. He won his second state contest in 2006.
"A lot of the artists who I admired had entered this duck stamp contest in the '80s and '90s ... when the popularity was at its height," Makuchal said. "And a lot of artists I followed had won these contests, and that's something that influenced me to do it. A lot of the states around the country started having a junior duck stamp contest, and I got into entering that."
But before he could follow in his idols' footsteps and enter the world of competitive duck stamp design, Makuchal had to get that junior competition started in the state of Maryland.
"Our state didn't have the funding to have a junior duck stamp contest yet, but I wrote numerous letters to the state legislature to try to get it started," Makuchal said. "They ended up getting us the funding, and I ended up winning the state of Maryland and getting third in the federal [contest]."
While he would enjoy turning his craft into a moneymaking venture, Makuchal is content creating his art in his spare time.
"It's more of a hobby of love. I'd like to do it part time, but the way the economy is and everything else, it's a little hard to do," he said. "But it's a great hobby for me."

Anyone else wish there there were restrooms up there? We walk there from home, then walk around the loop. That whole process takes a few hours, which is really difficult with no toilets. We're not all kids anymore.

Having babies definitely weakens a woman's bladder. I had to stop doing my "Dish Walk". After the second birth due to the fact that there are no restrooms anywhere along the path.

In order for a women to be allowed to get assistance to legally terminate the process:
The man unexpectedly attacks-assaults-threatens-criminally-forces himself on a women and-or coerces-forces her to comply.
Who also tries to stop him if possible, without causing more danger for hersel. It must be reported to the police, drs, ASAP for a thorough investigation.
Any kind of close-friendship, long or short term pre-planning, that the man-woman engage in, discuss, that was not coerced-forced upon the woman, termination will not be granted !
The laws-rules-guidelines should be strict, so that only women who have given 0 consent to the man, are covered under the termination allowance rules !
Except it is about you, Rep. Akin. Akin told NBC this morning that Paul Ryan called him yesterday and urged him to drop out of the Missouri Senate race. Akin is continuing his argument that his decision to stay in the race (the deadline to drop out was yesterday at 5 pm cst) that this isn't about him but about standing on principle. The problem is, the focus isn't on principle, it's on Akin's refusal to drop out like nearly the entire conservative movement and Republicans have asked.

Tas Pide
your comments review this restaurant and win a bottle of champagne
I have been going to Tas Pide in Globe Walk for several years, following a review in The Guardian. We have never been disappointed; good food, reasonably priced and in a lovely atmosphere. Friends have also started going there, following my recommendation, and regard it as a hidden treasure. It's also brilliant that they are geared up for performance times at The Globe theatre, and ensure we are fed in good time to make the play without rushing. So sorry others have been disappinted.

We were meeting with a friend for lunch who has a little baby and decided to have some nice Turkish food so we went to Tas Pide. My partner went in first to check whether they had a baby changing unit, the answer was no. Then my Turkish friend went in there to speak with them just in case they thought we only wanted to use the facilities. After a long wait at the door the same lady came up to her and said ' I've already told you!' in a very aggressive and rude way. So we left, shocked by this treatment and went to The Real Greek restaurant. Had a lovely time, great food in a friendly atmosphere. No more Tas.

There's nothing more that I like, than a good meal and an enjoyable evening out with friends. Well, there is one thing. I like a well built restaurant. The sort of establishment that you know you can count on. The sort that won't fall down and will still be standing in years to come. In terms of the build of the place, I noticed two things. Good doors, small chairs. And quite frankly, that should be more than enough for any man. The food was a bonus. The atmosphere, a delight. Good doors, small chairs – I'll be back there for sure.

went to Tas Pide this evening, 26/08/11, with my husband. use to go there quite often before, but today we were very disappointed. like the previous reviewer, we were also greeted very coldly. there is no warmth or friendliness!!
though we had booked, were given a table near the counter. so we asked to be seated elsewhere, which they agreed. straight away the bread came with olives and the yogurt dip. the bread was cold and hard, so sent it back to be heated.
than ordered couple of starters, falafel, kisir, humous and the filo pastry. the falafels were hot but not cooked at all from inside. so left half the starters. my husband wanted to just leave, but convinced him to stay for the dessert and coffee.
want be going there again ever.

Base metals ripe for downside corrections
After an interview this week for Reuters Investment Summit, Brian Fabbri, chief U.S. economist at BNP Paribas said he did not think gains in base metal prices over the last 3 months accurately reflect how weak fundamentals are, especially in the economies of major users U.S., Europe and Japan, adding that industrial metals prices would need to correct lower.
Asked whether growth in emerging economies would be enough to compensate for slowing in the U.S., he said: "No."
Fabbri pointed out that emerging economies accounted for only about 25 percent of global growth and would not be sufficient to take up the slack in the sagging U.S. economy.
"Contrary to some people's thinking at the start of the recession who thought there would be a decoupling of the U.S. from other economies like China that has not been the case," the economist said.
So while infrastructure spending in countries like China might lift metals demand, its growth pace will be limited without the support of robust industrial and economic output in developed countries.
Furthermore, while China, India and Brazil may continue to grow during the current global recession, he noted that not all emerging markets are alike, citing faltering economies in Eastern Europe and parts of South America as examples.
I just read the SMH and it says that the Chinese have found Asia's biggest iron ore deposit in China's northeastern province of Liaoning, with reserves of more than 3 billion metric tons. The grade of the ore is between 25 and 62%.This find will certainly release some of the pressure, as it may reduce China's dependence on imports from Vale, Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton. Another reason for a downside correction I would say.
Personally I think silver is getting ready to rock n roll. We will see silver at 50 to 100 dollars an ounze. Lets enjoy the ride silver holders……………

Swiss Indoors forced to drop tobacco sponsor
BASEL, Switzerland - BASEL, Switzerland (AP) - One of world sport's last tobacco sponsorships is ending, at the Swiss Indoors tennis event in Roger Federer's hometown of Basel.
Tournament organizers say the 2010 event in November is the last of a 17-year partnership with tobacco brand Davidoff.
Swiss Indoors said in a statement that the ATP World Tour told the tournament in June the existing sponsorship could not be extended because of worldwide laws restricting tobacco advertising on television.
The tournament was promoted in status last year to an ATP 500 event, giving the tour central control over TV rights.
The 2009 Swiss Indoors was broadcast in 150 countries and had a six-fold increase in ratings, but the sponsor's name was dropped during transmissions.

Doug McDermott's the best player in the nation. And the nation's best player, a guy who has made plenty of amazing shots during his Creighton career, hit arguably his greatest tonight.
McDermott capped a season-high scoring performance (39 points) with a game-winning three-pointer with just a few ticks left against St. John's Tuesday night. WBR's Mike Spomer captured the shot in all of its glory, complete with a great view of Isaiah Zierden's super screen.

Political blogs in perspective
According to my Bloglines feed, Volunteer Voters has 21 subscribers and TN Politics Blog has 28. While my blog is not technically a political blog, I do post on politics. It has 43 subscribers.
BusyMom, who writes about, well, being a busy mom, has 141 subscribers.
I'm not meaning in the least to be dissing political blogs. They perform a vital function in communications and VV and TPB are two fine examples of political blogs.
Still, the comparison does sort of put things in perspective, doesn't it?
Wouldn't get too excited. Per bloglines, insty has 5672 subscribers. FoxNews has 19.

We recently ran a poll regarding third party YouTube apps compared to users preferring to favor the BlackBerry 10 browser and it was the browser that won by a long way. I'm still on the other side though and use SuperTube for getting my YouTube fix when I'm just on my smartphone.
The app has been updated to version 188.8.131.52 and with it brings a bunch of new additions as well as some fixes. SuperTube has now been updated a few times since its initial release, going to show the dedication that the developer has with the app - that we like a lot.
New features include:
Added channels and playlist searches
In the Sort and Filter drop down menu it's been added a sort order for playlists
Added kid lock functionality in the video player
Fixed repeat function not working when auto play next video option was turned off
No more video pause when watching video info in media player
By changing a sort or filter parameter a new search is now automatically performed
When failed to play a video when watching the current list, now the video player goes forward to play the next
Local watch history rearranged to display the most recent first
Added left menu entry for new videos in subscriptions
Little rearrangement of subscription list
A few other small bug fixes
SuperTube is available for all BlackBerry 10 handsets and comes with both free and paid versions. Why not give it a try? It's a real gem.

If not why as I know Android has a YouTube video downloader

Paste URL of video into keepvid.com in your Browser and go from there.
There are numerous online sites. Find one you like and bookmark it.

both can preload videos. Means that you can watch them only within the app. Here the link for DownloadsManager that is a .bar and let you download, schedule downloads, choose res ecc http://goo.gl/WVz8mw
LyBerry Apr 8, 2014 at 9:16 am
SuperTube can cache (preload as they call it) videos. Not truly a download as you can only view the videos from within the app but, it still allows you to watch them offline (without a data connection). The free version doesn't give you much space for preloading but, the paid version gives you the option to reserve several GB of space on your device for preloading (not memory card but device). It works beautifully from my experience.
I think FastTube does something similar but I am not sure. When I tried FastTube, I didn't care for it.
FYI they do caching because downloading is against YouTube's policies. We know it gets done anyone but some app developers abide by policies so they don't risk getting shut down.

I do use FastTube, and it's very good. I'm sure this one is excellent as well. But, for all the complaining about the native YouTube app not being available, the mobile YT website is really good, works properly. Google may be "evil" these days but their mobile sites are worth using. Apart from Google Voice, I guess.
LyBerry Apr 8, 2014 at 9:18 am
For those that did not know, this app allows you to search by URL. If you have a link from text, BBM, email, Web browser, document, etc, you can copy and paste it into the search bar and the corresponding video will come up. Not original functionality but has been a feature for a long time now - one of my favorite features.

Important Notice to Proposers
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG), NSF 13-1, was issued on October 4, 2012 and is effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after January 14, 2013. Please be advised that, depending on the specified due date, the guidelines contained in NSF 13-1 may apply to proposals submitted in response to this funding opportunity.
Please be aware that significant changes have been made to the PAPPG to implement revised merit review criteria based on the National Science Board (NSB) report, National Science Foundation's Merit Review Criteria: Review and Revisions. While the two merit review criteria remain unchanged (Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts), guidance has been provided to clarify and improve the function of the criteria. Changes will affect the project summary and project description sections of proposals. Annual and final reports also will be affected.
A by-chapter summary of this and other significant changes is provided at the beginning of both the Grant Proposal Guide and the Award & Administration Guide.
Due Dates
Full Proposal Deadline Date: November 13, 2014
Second Thursday in November, Annually Thereafter
NSF and selected foreign counterpart science and technology agencies sponsor international research institutes for U.S. graduate students in seven East Asia and Pacific locations at times set by the counterpart agencies between June and August each year. The Summer Institutes (EAPSI) operate similarly and the research visits to a particular location take place at the same time. Although applicants apply individually to participate in a Summer Institute, awardees become part of the cohort for each location. Applicants must propose a location, host scientist, and research project that is appropriate for the host site and duration of the international visit.
An EAPSI award provides U.S. graduate students in science, engineering, and education: 1) first-hand research experiences in Australia, China, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore, or Taiwan; 2) an introduction to the science, science policy, and scientific infrastructure of the respective location; and 3) an orientation to the society, culture, and language. It is expected that EAPSI awards will help students initiate professional relationships to enable future collaboration with foreign counterparts.
The NSF award includes participation in the Pre-Departure Orientation, summer stipend of $5,000, and roundtrip airplane ticket to the host location. EAPSI partner agencies pay in-country living expenses during the Summer Institutes.
Educational Opportunity
