Lawyers for accused Colorado theater gunman want leaks probed

DENVER (Reuters) - Attorneys for accused Colorado theater gunman James Holmes are demanding an investigation into the release of a recent booking photo of their client and leaks about a notebook he sent to his psychiatrist, court documents showed on Wednesday.

Public defenders complained in the documents that a recent picture of Holmes released to the media violated a gag order imposed by Arapahoe County District Court Judge William Sylvester in the case.

Holmes, a 24-year-old former neuroscience graduate student, is accused of opening fire at a suburban Denver movie theater during a midnight screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" on July 20, killing 12 moviegoers and wounding 58 others.

In a motion to the court, the defense asked the judge to order a probe into how and why the picture was taken and distributed to the media. It also asks the court to consider what sanctions might be "an appropriate response to this violation."

Holmes appeared at his last hearing with short-cropped brown hair, looking starkly different than in his initial mug shot and earlier court hearings where he sported tousled longer hair that was dyed red.

After that hearing, the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office released a new photo of a Holmes with close-cropped hair.

Sylvester ruled that the booking photo issue will be addressed at Holmes' next court hearing on October 11. Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson told Reuters he would "await ... the judge's evaluation of this matter."

In a separate filing, defense lawyers requested the judge impose sanctions on prosecutors for information about the contents of a package Holmes mailed that was leaked to Fox News days after the massacre, purportedly detailing plans for the rampage.

Initially, prosecutors sought to look at the package's contents, but defense attorneys objected, saying the parcel was mailed to psychiatrist Lynne Fenton, who once treated Holmes, and fell under doctor-patient privilege.

Prosecutors abruptly dropped their bid to review the package, but defense lawyers said it was obvious from information they have received that law enforcement leaked details of the parcel to Fox News, which they said impedes their client's right to a fair trial.

"The discovery received thus far supports the defense's concern that the government was responsible for leaking information about the contents of the package to the media," the motion said.

In documents released last week, a detective said he "fanned" through the contents of the notebook and that the package also contained "burnt currency." (Editing by Mary Slosson, Cynthia Johnston and Cynthia Osterman)

Bahrain court upholds jail terms on protesting medics: BNA

DUBAI (Reuters) - Bahrain's highest court on Monday upheld jail terms issued against nine medics convicted for their role in last year's pro-democracy uprising, state news agency BNA reported, a decision that could further fuel unrest in the Gulf Arab state.

The controversial case has drawn international criticism of the U.S.-allied Gulf Arab kingdom, which has been in turmoil since the protests led by its Shi'ite Muslim majority were crushed by the Sunni rulers.

Bahrain, home base for the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet, accuses regional Shi'ite power Iran of encouraging the unrest and has promised a tough response to violent protests as talks with the opposition have stalled.

BNA quoted Attorney General Abdul-Rahman al-Sayed as saying that Bahrain's Court of Cassation rejected all appeals presented by the defendants and confirmed the previous rulings of prison terms ranging between one month to five years.

In June, the appeals court sentenced Ali al-Ekry, former senior surgeon at the Salmaniya hospital in Manama, to five years in jail and gave eight others prison sentences ranging from one month to three years. It also acquitted nine others.

Two medics previously sentenced to 15 years each did not appeal and they are believed to be in hiding or to have left the country.

The doctors were released last year after an outcry over allegations of torture during detention.

Ekry, a senior orthopedic surgeon at Salmaniya who was convicted, among other charges, of inciting hatred and calling for the overthrow of Bahrain's rulers, said Monday's ruling might be politically motivated.

"We did not get a fair trial...We think we are a card being used by the regime to negotiate with the opposition," he told Reuters by telephone from Manama.

Mohammed al-Maskati, head of the Bahrain Youth Society for Human Rights, said Monday's verdict was final with no recourse for further appeal but there might be still a chance for a pardon by the king.

INTERNATIONAL CRITICISM

The medics' case highlights the schism in Bahraini society over the protest movement and political reform.

The doctors and nurses, who are all Shi'ites, say they were victimized for treating protesters and helping bring world attention to deaths caused by security forces.

Washington and rights groups have criticized the June ruling, with Amnesty International saying it was a "dark day for justice".

The verdicts follow an earlier trial at a military court in September, 2011 which sentenced 20 medics to prison terms of between five and 15 years on charges including theft of medical equipment, occupying a hospital and incitement to topple the state.

The Sunni Al Khalifa family used martial law and help of Saudi-led Gulf troops, to put down last year's uprising. Thousands were arrested and military trials were instituted during the martial law period.

Washington has called on its ally to talk to the opposition, but unrest continued. Protesters and police clash almost daily.

The Shi'ite opposition wants a constitutional monarchy and a more equitable political system that would allow them to have greater representation, ending decades-old discrimination against them in jobs including the army and security forces.

The Al Khalifas fear the Shi'ites want to topple them.

Hotel restaurants: five star food? | Life and style | guardian.co.uk

I can't remember the last time I chose to eat in a hotel restaurant. Controlled by accountants, designed by committee, cravenly crowd-pleasing and a mere add-on to the main business, most can be placed on a sliding scale that starts at very bad and tops out at boring.

The feel of most hotels doesn't help. The hustle, the bustle, the business suits in the bar, it all feels like a conveyor belt, a commercial terminus where food is but one route in and out. Surely what you want to feel in a restaurant is some personality, some sense that the place is individual, unique, a loved living entity. Which, in a five-star hotel, is mighty difficult to achieve.

Nico Ladenis came up with one solution when he moved to the Grosvenor House Hotel in 1992. He insisted on an unusual set-up. Hotel guests weren't able to come down from their rooms and walk straight in to his restaurant. Instead, they had to go outside on to Park Lane and use the Chez Nico entrance like everyone else. In a way, this was typical of the man: Ladenis didn't do compromise. He was notorious for chucking a wobbly if a guest asked for salt or had the temerity to order a second G&T. He even ordered customers to sit up straight.

By making sure his restaurant was physically separated from its hotel home he demonstrated the attitude that many people, chefs and diners, have to hotel restaurants. As Jeff Galvin, who worked at Chez Nico, recalls: "a fence went up around the restaurant," and there was, he says, a kind of "bravado that you don't really need hotel guests."

With his brother Chris, Jeff Galvin now runs the Michelin-starred restaurant at the Park Lane Hilton and has just opened La Pompadour at Edinburgh's Caledonian. Galvin takes a very different view to Ladenis: he sees having hundreds of potential customers in the same building as a boon. The Galvins have direct control over how their restaurants look, and after agreeing food margins and labour costs with Hilton, they are left to it on everything from staffing to sourcing. Galvin has lived in Edinburgh for two months, not because Hilton demanded it, but because he wants the kitchen to shine.

Whether it does remains to be seen. As does whether Angela Hartnett can make a fist of her new restaurant project at Lime Wood. Nathan Outlaw, meanwhile, is about to launch a second Seafood & Grill restaurant in Knightsbridge, at the Capital. Outlaw told Restaurant Magazine that he will be ferrying fish up from Cornwall, visiting weekly to oversee the kitchen (to be run by Pete Biggs, who has worked for Outlaw for 10 years) and, generally, making sure that this hotel consultancy does nothing to diminish his reputation. Boldly, Outlaw's team will look after the complete food and beverage operation at the hotel. Chefs often see cooking breakfast and delivering room service as an unwelcome distraction, but, says Galvin, it can be done: "We did look at the Waldorf in the Strand, to take over the whole F&B. I wouldn't have a problem doing it. It's just getting the circumstances correct."

Much as I like the idea of Nathan Outlaw scrutinising my kippers, none of this makes me question my stance that hotel restaurants are best avoided. The Galvins have proven it is possible to create a restaurant that resonates beyond the lobby, but it remains so rare as to be statistically irrelevant. Heston Blumenthal's Dinner, for instance, serves excellent food but feels swanky and charmless in comparison to the odd, homely Fat Duck.

In budget city hotels the food is, invariably, manufactured catering meh made available only because the hotel knows a good proportion of guests - too lazy or unimaginative to eat elsewhere - will demand it and pay through the nose for it. Move up a level and you find salaried chefs with little real control going through the motions, or hotels attempting and failing to disguise their cynicism beneath a veneer of celebrity glamour. It barely matters to Marco Pierre White, I imagine, professionally or existentially, how much or how little his magic rubs off on Sanguine Hospitality's branded MPW restaurants. But the meal I ate at Liverpool's Hotel Indigo earlier this year bore about as much relation to MPW in his pomp as this blogpost does to Joseph Roth's best feuilletons.

On the plate too, even good hotel restaurants can feel coolly calculated: an attempt to bag a star and boost commercial profiles rather than an act of uninhibited creativity. I ate (some) very nice food at Brockencote Hall recently, but will it ever be the scene of truly risky, revelatory cooking? I doubt it. Perhaps that was what was bugging Nico Ladenis, the thought that even the greatest hotel restaurant will always feel second best. Or do you know different?

newses sega: History Of Running As A Game ? Recreation and Sports

In quite a few various parts of your globe that consist of Egypt, Asia, the African Rift Valley region and North America, historians think that competitive operating created as a part of religious festivals. Dating back to 1829 BCE, one from the earliest recorded competitions took spot in Ireland at a festival referred to as the Tailteann Games. One of the most widespread competition then was foot races throughout ancient Greek festivals. It was as part of such festivals that marked the beginning from the Olympic Games. Surely, an ancient athlete would have benefited a lot from the use of the best GPS watch for men, had it been out there back then.
The first Olympic Games had been held in 776 BCE. It was open only to Greek guys whilst the Greek girls had their own competitors in what was then referred to as the Heraea Games. As in present day, both contests had been held every 4 years. Only foot races of varying distances constituted these early Olympic Games. Field events for example discus, javelin and extended jump had been included within the competition by the 5th century BCE. The Romans continued the Olympic tradition, following the fall of Greece, till 394 CE. For any even though, the sport of operating disappeared right after. For a look at the device that could have benefited these early Greek and Roman athletes, click the link for more info.
First in the 12th century, then once more inside the 15th century, competitive operating was revived in England, at numerous occasions. The Puritan rule with the country within the 17th century ended the final try for competitive running revival. In English secondary colleges and colleges, the re-emergence from the sport took location by the 19th century. Different forms of foot races and field events were included in meets between colleges inside the early 1800s. Whilst some races were held for certain distances on marked tracks, runners followed a trail by way of fields and open country in other races.
