VIDE: Birmingham police slayings go back to judge
MSNBC
(AP) – A state appeals court has told a judge for the second time to better explain why he imposed a death sentence on a man convicted of killing three Birmingham police officers. The Alabama court of Criminal Appeals on Friday sent the case of Kerry Spencer back to Jefferson County Circuit Judge Tommy Nail. The appeals court had told the judge last year to provide a better explanation of why he overrode a jury?s recommendation of life in prison without parole and sentenced Spencer to death. The judge wrote a new sentencing order but the appeals court said he needs to clarify his findings. Spencer was convicted in the 2004 killings of three officers who were gunned down as they sought to serve a misdemeanor warrant at a crack house.

Birmingham Royal BalletSylviaBirmingham Hippodrome BirminghamChoreography byDavid BintleyBox office: 0844 338 5000Silly as the narrative is (involving a standoff between Diana and Eros as well as the lecherous interference of rion and a boatful of pirates) the choreographer still has to trust the story to make the ballet work. And the problem for David Bintley is that he doesn’t show that faith. This is Bintley’s second attempt at Sylvia for Birmingham Royal Ballet and his strategy here is to provide the ballet with a framing story set in 1950s Italy that humanises and modernises his characters. As members of a rich but unhappy household they become the skirt-chasing Count Guiccioli (rion) the governess he tries to seduce (Sylvia) her would-be boyfriend (Amynta) the lonely Contessa (Diana) and Eros (disguised as a gardener) who makes it his business to restore order and happiness by magicking the household back to the world of Tasso’s poem. Yet if Bintley’s plan is to make the story accessible all he does is send us scurrying back to the programme notes. He is inconsistent in his detail. Why does everyone retain their essential personality except for the Contessa who morphs from sweetly spurned wife to an Amazon as soon as she puts on Diana’s tunic and breastplate?If these inconsistencies are distracting so too is the main body of the ballet as it swerves into different theatrical worlds: Diana marshalling her forces is pure Spartacus while rion and his drunken sidekicks come direct from Balanchine’s Prodigal Son.

Above ground the plan would create green spaces and walkway connections to the expanded civic center according to the city’s list. That plan is seen by many as an economic development tool to better connect the two portions of the city and make the complex more effective.
