Video: Holmes appears disengaged, lethargic in court

>>> good evening. the people of aurora, colorado today got to see the man they regard as the face of evil. the suspect in the mass shooting in colorado was let into court for a preliminary appearance today and seeing him was both striking and haunting. at various times his constantly changing facial expressions showed what might have been sadness, surprise, exhaustion, contentment, anger, confusion. many people thought he looked heavily medicated, sitting in court with the red hair dye apparently intended to mimic a character in the movie, which will now forever be associated with what happened during the midnight premiere in a denver suburb. the death toll remains at 12. 23 of the wounded remain hospitalized tonight. 11 of them critical. we begin our reporting this evening with nbc's mike taibbi , who was in the courtroom this morning. mike, good evening.

>> reporter: good evening, brian. it was an expectant even tense atmosphere in court today though this was a brief procedure. you could basically hear a pin drop, nobody moving as 9:30 approached. this was as you say the first chance for the public and more importantly the victims' families and victim survivors to get a look at the man who was the sole suspect in one of the worst gun massacres in this country's history.

>> call people vs. james holmes .

>> reporter: his appearance was bizarre, disengaged, unsettling. the pink/orange hair atop the prison jump suit, lethargic movements, james holmes looking no one in the eye when his eyes were open and reacting in no visible way when the judge told him why he was being held without bond.

>> the duty judge made a preliminary determination of probable cause to believe you committed the offense of first-degree murder.

>> reporter: a death penalty case though the decision to seek death will only be made after prosecutors hear the victims' families want it.

>> victims will be impacted by that decision in an enormous way for years if the death penalty is sought.

>> reporter: this was a brief, procedural hearing, a gag order limiting the release of information about the case and the reading of the defendant's rights to holmes , himself.

>> you have a right to remain silent.

>> reporter: the investigation of holmes accelerated saturday when his booby trapped apartment was defused by a controlled detonation. before that, a robotic camera had recorded what was inside -- combat posters, a computer, trip wires, and explosives. nbc's chris hanson viewed some of that tape.

>> dozens of black, softball shaped fireworks shells that he bought, filled with explosive powder. they're all over the place.

>> reporter: a potential killing field here and a real one at the theater three miles away . the months leading this once aspiring scientist to this grim spotlight were months of change. he had gone from a clean cut, gifted student to a sullen recluse who police say bought four guns just like these and went online to buy 6,000 rounds of ammunition, 150 pounds worth, and ballistic combat gear some items as recently as two weeks before the massacre. he tried to join a gun club but never followed up. he dropped out of grad school . no reason given.

>> he had officially withdrawn. that withdrawal had not been finally processed.

>> reporter: and now in court he was the same mute, unresponsive figure he's been since his arrest. his demeanor perhaps a statement in itself.

>> it's a powerful image. we saw james holmes and there is clearly something not right about him. in some ways that could be helpful to the defense.

>> reporter: helpful if they choose an insanity defense if he is really insane.

>> i have never seen anyone who is able to fake it into an insanity defense . there are very sophisticated tests used and the state hospital is hypersensitive to the issue of are we being played by a defendant here?

>> reporter: holmes is back in solitary now in the county jail . his next court appearance next monday will be for formal charges against him and then perhaps a month or two after that the formal arraignment at which time he will enter a plea -- guilty, not guilty, or not guilty by reason of insanity.

>> mike taibbi starting us off from the courthouse, centennial, colorado tonight. mike, thanks.

Love Dubrovnik Take 2 ? how does it feel to?

The weather is still beautiful here in Dubrovnik, and on Wednesday evening we wandered through the Old Town and followed our noses until we discovered this beautiful bar tucked into the side of the cliff where you could sit with a cold drink and look out at the stunning views. It was down a secret passage which didn?t look like much, but brought you out into a magical atmosphere, helped by the relaxing songs playing on the sound system.

The next day we caught the boat to the small island of Kolocep to check out a restaurant called Villa Ruza. The island doesn?t have a lot on it, but if you keep walking past the touristy bit, you get to these beautiful gates which lead you to the restaurant. It was one of the loveliest meals I?ve had. The staff were so lovely and friendly and each meal was scrumptious. I had olives and feta to start and a main dish of pasta and other tasty sounding ingredients for main course. All washed down with a delicious Pina Colada. It was quite quiet, but began filling up round 2 and it felt like our own private restaurant. We were allowed to plug our ipod into their speakers, so we relaxed with lovely food and drinks and our own set list playing in the background. The boat ride to Kolocep is half an hour from Dubrovnik but absolutely worth it.

Experts: Some fracking critics use bad science

PITTSBURGH (AP) ? In the debate over natural gas drilling, the companies are often the ones accused of twisting the facts. But scientists say opponents sometimes mislead the public, too.

Critics of fracking often raise alarms about groundwater pollution, air pollution, and cancer risks, and there are still many uncertainties. But some of the claims have little ? or nothing? to back them.

For example, reports that breast cancer rates rose in a region with heavy gas drilling are false, researchers told The Associated Press.

Fears that natural radioactivity in drilling waste could contaminate drinking water aren't being confirmed by monitoring, either.

And concerns about air pollution from the industry often don't acknowledge that natural gas is a far cleaner burning fuel than coal.

"The debate is becoming very emotional. And basically not using science" on either side, said Avner Vengosh, a Duke University professor studying groundwater contamination who has been praised and criticized by both sides.

Shale gas drilling has attracted national attention because advances in technology have unlocked billions of dollars of gas reserves, leading to a boom in production, jobs, and profits, as well as concerns about pollution and public health. Shale is a gas-rich rock formation thousands of feet underground, and the gas is freed through a process called hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in which large volumes of water, plus sand and chemicals, are injected to break the rock apart.

The Marcellus Shale covers large parts of Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and West Virginia, while the Barnett Shale is in north Texas. Many other shale deposits have been discovered.

One of the clearest examples of a misleading claim comes from north Texas, where gas drilling began in the Barnett Shale about 10 years ago.

Opponents of fracking say breast cancer rates have spiked exactly where intensive drilling is taking place ? and nowhere else in the state. The claim is used in a letter that was sent to New York's Gov. Andrew Cuomo by environmental groups and by Josh Fox, the Oscar-nominated director of "Gasland," a film that criticizes the industry. Fox, who lives in Brooklyn, has a new short film called "The Sky is Pink."

But researchers haven't seen a spike in breast cancer rates in the area, said Simon Craddock Lee, a professor of medical anthropology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.

David Risser, an epidemiologist with the Texas Cancer Registry, said in an email that researchers checked state health data and found no evidence of an increase in the counties where the spike supposedly occurred.

And Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a major cancer advocacy group based in Dallas, said it sees no evidence of a spike, either.

"We don't," said Chandini Portteus, Komen's vice president of research, adding that they sympathize with people's fears and concerns, but "what we do know is a little bit, and what we don't know is a lot" about breast cancer and the environment.

Yet Fox tells viewers in an ominous voice that "In Texas, as throughout the United States, cancer rates fell ? except in one place? in the Barnett Shale."

Lee called the claims of an increase "a classic case of the ecological fallacy" because they falsely suggest that breast cancer is linked to just one factor. In fact, diet, lifestyle and access to health care also play key roles.

Fox responded to questions by citing a press release from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that doesn't support his claim, and a newspaper story that Risser said is "not based on a careful statistical analysis of the data."

When Fox was told that Texas cancer researchers said rates didn't increase, he replied in an email that the claim of unusually high breast cancer rates was "widely reported" and said there is "more than enough evidence to warrant much deeper study."

Another instance where fears haven't been confirmed by science is the concern that radioactivity in drilling fluids could threaten drinking water supplies.

Critics of fracking note the deep underground water that comes up along with gas has high levels of natural radioactivity. Since much of that water, called flowback, was once being discharged into municipal sewage treatment plants and then rivers in Pennsylvania, there was concern about public water supplies.

But in western Pennsylvania, the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority did extensive tests and didn't find a problem in area rivers. State environmental officials said monitoring at public water supply intakes across the state showed non-detectable levels of radiation, and the two cases that showed anything were at background levels.

Concerns about the potential problem also led to regulatory changes. An analysis by The Associated Press of data from Pennsylvania found that of the 10.1 million barrels of shale wastewater generated in the last half of 2011, about 97 percent was either recycled, sent to deep-injection wells, or sent to a treatment plant that doesn't discharge into waterways.

Critics of fracking also repeat claims of extreme air pollution threats, even as evidence mounts that the natural gas boom is in some ways contributing to cleaner air.

Marcellus air pollution "will cause a massive public health crisis," claims a section of the Marcellus Shale Protest website.

Yet data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration show that the shale gas boom is helping to turn many large power plants away from coal, which emits far more pollution. And the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency passed new rules to force drillers to limit releases of methane from wells and pumping stations.

Some environmental groups now say that natural gas is having a positive effect on air quality.

Earlier this year, the group PennFuture said gas is a much cleaner burning fuel, and it called gas-fired power plants "orders of magnitude cleaner" than coal plants.

Marcellus Shale Protest said in response to a question about its claims that "any possible benefit in electric generation must be weighed against the direct harm from the industrial processes of gas extraction."

One expert said there's an actual psychological process at work that sometimes blinds people to science, on the fracking debate and many others.

"You can literally put facts in front of people, and they will just ignore them," said Mark Lubell, the director of the Center for Environmental Policy and Behavior at the University of California, Davis.

Lubell said the situation, which happens on both sides of a debate, is called "motivated reasoning." Rational people insist on believing things that aren't true, in part because of feedback from other people who share their views, he said.

Vengosh noted the problem of spinning science isn't new, or limited to one side in the gas drilling controversy. For example, industry supporters have claimed that drilling never pollutes water wells, when state regulators have confirmed cases where it has. He says the key point is that science is slow, and research into gas drilling's many possible effects are in the early stages, and much more work remains to be done.

"Everyone takes what they want to see," Vengosh said, adding that he hopes that the fracking debate will become more civilized as scientists obtain more hard data.
