"Look, feel and sound like they could be twice the price: the E10s are a bargain." What Hi-Fi Sound & Vision magazine.
Award-winning sound quality
With a five-star review and a Best Buy 2012 Award from What Hi-Fi magazine, the SoundMagic E10s are one of the budget earphones to beat! Featuring powerful Neodymium drive units, the E10 earphones have a punchy, upbeat and dynamic sound quality, yet they're also accurate and detailed. Making them sound even better is the ability of the tight fitting buds to block out ambient background noise, so you to hear more of the music.
Superior construction quality
Despite their bargain price, the SoundMagic E10s are superbly built. Whereas most rivals would have plastic casings, the E10s feature stylish metal ones. These are not only tough and durable but the metallic finish is stylish, too.
For a pair of earphones with an exciting sound and quality construction, nothing compares with the E10s at this price!

I'd love to hear from someone who has this. Found it on Amazon but 0 reviews which worries me.
To be honest I'm really considering it for my inlaws rather than my kid. It says it's easy to use - my kid can handle anything but my in laws get stuck setting a digital clock so.....
In for one for my 4 year old grand daughter. Not real powerful, but will play the simple games she likes. Another plus is the bumper to keep from breaking so easily.
Woah... that tablet looks HUGE in the picture with the girl. Horrible photoshopping!

No photo shopping - they just used REALLY small kids in their pictures. Just good marketing technique

I believe patients deserve a surgeon who listens to them. It's important to hear their concerns. This feedback is an important part of determining a care plan, including an operation that fits their expectations. My desire is to offer patients the least "invasive" operation that meets their needs.
The best part of working at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is the people. There is a noticeable commitment to offering the highest quality of care. I love being surrounded by really smart individuals who are passionate about what they do.
In my free time I enjoy reading, relaxing with my family and spending time outdoors. I am an avid tennis player and also enjoy shooting trap and sporting clays.

Synopsis: Back to basics
The condensed matter community's current excitement over a new class of iron-based superconductors closely resembles the early days in the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in copper-based (cuprate) oxides. New compounds are being discovered nearly every month, with the highest reported transition temperature approaching 55 K. Similar to the copper-oxide layers in the high- cuprates, the new superconductors consist of conducting iron-arsenide layers that are separated by insulating rare-earth-oxide layers. First-principles calculations have shown that superconductivity is associated with the iron-arsenide layers, but these studies are based on complex models that can only be solved with computational methods and a more intuitive model is required. In a Rapid Communication appearing in the June 11th issue of Physical Review B, Srinivas Raghu and Shou-cheng Zhang of Stanford, Douglas Scalapino of the University of California, Santa Barbara, and collaborators have distilled the current knowledge on this complicated system into a simple model.
They construct an effective Hamiltonian that correctly reproduces the structure of the electronic Fermi surface in the normal state, which is a necessary first step for understanding the superconducting state. They also find magnetic behavior associated with the iron-arsenide layer that is thought to be connected to superconductivity in these materials.
The work may be viewed as the iron-arsenide analog of the classic paper by Zhang and Rice [1], which introduced an effective Hamiltonian for the cuprates. Such simple models that capture the low-energy physics are indispensable starting points for theorists as they attempt to reproduce the properties of these complex materials. - Alexios Klironomos

Advice please: I have had a horrible flu-type bug for 2 weeks now and to be honest it's not showing any signs of going away.
I had got myself up to a comfortable 10-12 miles long run at the end of January and am now beginning to wonder what chance i have of completing the course in a realistic timeframe and without an injury.
I am not speedy (previous marathon PB of 5hrs 15mins) but I have always trained pretty consistently in the past. Is two weeks at this stage making it a completely lost cause or can I get back to marathon fitness in time and does anyone know of an 8-week "get you back on track" schedule to follow?
That is assuming that I am feeling better sometime soon of course.....
thank you in advance for any opinions/ advice/ works of wisdom
Hegs x
I had plenty of time off the training last year before the FLM, and managed to get back on track to an eventual 3:31. Just make sure you ease back into the schedule rather than jumping straight into the full workload. If cutting back the initial week's mileage, then keep the Tues, Thurs and (most importantly) Sunday-Long-Run. Don't do speed sessions (if you were planning to) for at least a week after you start training again.
In the meantime, comfort yourself with the thought that it's not injury that's keeping you off the running. Eat well and cut down on the total intake lest you start to bulk out. Take the opportunity to do some stretching.
thank you ex-pat scot -all sounds very sensible advice and i shall follow it.
hope everyone else's training is going well

Draft Day Parent Review
The movie starts out as an unusual script about a single day, but it delivers in the end zone.
Movie Review
You can bet that as I write this, NFL coaching staff and scouts are scouring hours of game footage in anticipation of the 2014 draft that begins May 8. It's a critical time for professional football teams hoping to up the numbers in their win column. So what better way to build up excitement for the event than to release the movie Draft Day, complete with personal appearances by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and a host of sports analysts, team CEOs and professional athletes.
NEW: Listen to our Parent Previews Podcast and take control of media and technology in your family!
There are already dozens and dozens of football films that focus on individual players, teams and even coaches. But Draft Day gives a different perspective to the sport. Sonny Weaver Jr. (Kevin Costner) is facing his first draft day as general manager of the Cleveland Browns. As one of the bottom teams in the league, he has a chance to snap up first round pick Bo Callahan (Josh Pence). It looks like an easy decision.
Yet a lot is going on outside the office, including the recent death of his father and an unexpected announcement from his girlfriend (Jennifer Garner). On top of that it seems every one has an opinion on how Sonny should play his hand. The team's owner (Frank Langella) already has a Brown's jersey made up with Callahan's name on it. The head coach (Denis Leary) is threatening to quit if Sonny doesn't choose the players he wants. Fans, commentators and even Sonny's mother (Ellen Burstyn) also toss in their two bits about his selection decision.
The movie starts out as an unusual script about a single day, but it delivers in the end zone. Much of that is thanks to clever editing. Unlike a football game that takes place out in the open on the gridiron, the plays in this movie are made in draft war rooms, GMs' offices and even on cell phones. A split screen with an updated edge brings both sides of the calls into view at the same time. And anyone who thinks peer pressure is aimed at teens only will have to rethink their view after watching Sonny badgered from every side. Luckily he manages to put his distracters behind him and take responsibility for his decisions—be they good or bad.
That can be a positive message for young viewers. But unfortunately the film comes with some other content that may be a problem for family viewers. Sonny's attempt to keep his affair with a fellow employee secret smacks of irresponsibility, as do his angry outbursts (although they may be understandable considering the stress he's under.) However the script's use of frequent and sometimes strong profanities, crude sexual comments and crass anatomical terms may not be so easy for parents to justify. The amount of profanities shouldn't be a surprise since the studio appealed the movie's original R-rating for brief strong language in order to get a PG-13 rating. While there's no doubt that some strong words fly during intense bargaining, the foul language doesn't add to the storyline. (Too bad the script can't take some tips from sportscaster Dan Dakich who has his own methods for keeping his language clean on air.)
Still there's something to be said about a plot that can take backroom bickering over college football players and put it on par with international negotiations.Directed by Ivan Reitman. Starring Kevin Costner, Jennifer Garner, Sean Combs, Frank Langella, Ellen Burstyn. Running time: 110 minutes. Theatrical release April 11, 2014. Updated May 23, 2016
Get details on profanity, sex and violence in Draft Day here.
Draft Day Parents Guide
Sonny Weaver Jr. faces peer pressure on many fronts from people who want to influence his draft pick. How are people swayed by peer pressure in the work place, at home, in their school or community? Why do they sometimes use the pressure as an excuse for a bad decision? Does Sonny take responsibility for his choices? How is that depicted?
How does the legendary football career of Sonny's father loom over the new general manager? Can it be difficult to live up to the success of a parent or sibling?
Sonny is looking for a particular trait in prospective players. Why is it important to him that they can keep calm under pressure? What are the dangers when someone panics? How does that affect their ability to think through a situation?
Ali is in charge of keeping a cap on the team's expenditures, but she manages the office in other ways as well. Why does she demand respect for the new intern? What are other ways she keeps things running well during a stressful event?
Lionsgate appealed this film's initial MPAA rating, that awarded Draft Day an R for brief strong language. Read more about the decision.

About Me
There are a lot of reasons (some more obvious than others) why I have been occupying myself with photography. There is a serious interest in technique, as well as an admiration for photographers who have proven to be very good at what they do. I still have no answer to the question whether photography is either an art or a craft. I've seen so many photographers who have plenty of creativity but a lame technique. They deliver results that are not less of a disappointment than images that give proof of great technique, but lack creativity and mystery. The more I stand in front of a lens the more I realize that standing behind the lens requires aptitude and dare, creativity and substance, self criticism and integrity. Features that aren't possessed with ease, and are even harder to combine. It is those elements I find in work of photographers I work with. But every person finds his own balance, in his own tempo.
A great sense of ego and maybe even idleness are practically undeniable. So I won't even bother. In photography I find a way to express myself. I find posing as confronting as speaking in front of a very large group of people. In that sense I really found social strength in an activity that mostly involves a very personal group of people, what really marks the dual charachter of photography. Photography has contributed enormously to my self positioning and affirmation, mentally as wel as physically, personally as well as socially.
I have encountered a lot inspiring people, who master one of the most underestimated crafts of the last decades. I'm greatful for the experiences and lessons I have learned in the last few years, and I hope to put some of the techniques I picked up in practice soon. Credits for make-up artists too. I found a missed opportunity in working as a MU-artist and placed aspirations elsewhere. I love to work with fine artists because they -again- give me the opportunity to learn several techniques and styles along the way..
Modelling has been a gate to another world, one that provided me with a bunch of other perspectives on life. Visual dimensions are always brief. To me, being able to catch a beautiful moment in time and thought is one of the most glorious achievements of man.
I hope you all enjoy what this blog brings... I hope to catch more glimpses of the glory and mystery of photography along my way.

Matt Bomer Looks Sexy And Shows Off Some Chest In A Tight Bright Blue Shirt
Matt Bomer decided to emerge into the world and let us look at him, and we're all extremely grateful.
Matt went out in Hollywood to grab lunch wearing a bright blue button down shirt unbuttoned at the top to show off his chest. Because why not? It's definitely appreciated.
I love when guys wear button down shirts with jeans. Don't ask me why, I just think it's an attractive look, and it's definitely working for Matt.
Have you seen him wearing a suit? Perfection.
Also, am I the only one who noticed he's doing a major hair flip in those pictures? That can't be an accident. He knows how attractive he is. He has to. His hair looks good longer though. Well, everything about him looks good.
Launch the gallery to check out all of the tight shirt wearing pictures of him and make your day the best that it can be.

Jakarta (The Jakarta Post/ANN) - The Indonesian police revealed on Saturday that they had arrested seven suspects for their alleged involvement in the brawl between soccer fans at the Bung Karno Sports Complex on May 27 that left three dead and five injured.
"Six of them were directly involved, while another posted a provocative report about the brawl on his Facebook account," the police's mobile detective chief, Adj. Sr. Comr. Herry Heryawan, told reporters.
The suspects were identified by their initials RY, BK, AR, ZN, TW, BP and IR. The first six have been charged with fatal assault under the Criminal Code, which carries a maximum penalty of seven years imprisonment. IR was charged under the 2008 Information and Electronic Transaction Law for posting the Facebook report.
The three dead victims in the brawl have been identified as Lazuardi, Dani Maulana, and Rangga Cipta Nugraha. The incident took place after a match between soccer clubs Persija of Jakarta and Persib of Bandung.
The fanbases of both clubs, respectively known as Jakmania and Viking, are infamous for their bitter rivalry.
According to Herry, the six suspects - apart from IR - all took part in beating Lazuardi, who reportedly "showed no emotion" when Persija scored a goal, making the suspects think he was a Persib supporter.

Notice to WEIU Viewers with DirecTV Service
We're reaching out to you today because of an urgent issue that is impacting your ability to view WEIU programs. DirecTV has recently relocated one of its satellite receivers to an AT&T building in Decatur, which was formerly located in Springfield.
Normally, this would not be an issue, as Decatur is still in our market as defined by the FCC. However, WEIU signals do not reach this location in Decatur with the minimum quality required by the DirecTV.
As a result, DirecTV has dropped WEIU from its satellite carriage — and viewers who have previously been able to receive our unique programming like Being Well, City Spotlight, The Paw Report, NewsWatch can now no longer watch these programs at home.
As part of a must-carry agreement, DirecTV is required to fund any expenses we would incur in providing them our signal if this relocation happened before a normal renewal cycle (which it has) ... unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be happening.
This is why we need your help. Please reach out to DirecTV and request that it carries WEIU — let them know how important it is for this channel to come back in your viewing area. Please call DirecTV at 1-855-802-3473 and let them know that WEIU is an educational programming asset in your community and you can't afford to lose it.

Sense and Sensibility HTML version
Chapter 36
Within a few days after this meeting, the newspapers announced to the world,
that the lady of Thomas Palmer, Esq. was safely delivered of a son and heir; a
very interesting and satisfactory paragraph, at least to all those intimate
connections who knew it before.
This event, highly important to Mrs. Jennings's happiness, produced a temporary
alteration in the disposal of her time, and influenced, in a like degree, the
engagements of her young friends; for as she wished to be as much as possible
with Charlotte, she went thither every morning as soon as she was dressed, and
did not return till late in the evening; and the Miss Dashwoods, at the particular
request of the Middletons, spent the whole of every day, in every day in Conduit
Street. For their own comfort they would much rather have remained, at least all
the morning, in Mrs. Jennings's house; but it was not a thing to be urged against
the wishes of everybody. Their hours were therefore made over to Lady
Middleton and the two Miss Steeles, by whom their company, in fact was as little
valued, as it was professedly sought.
They had too much sense to be desirable companions to the former; and by the
latter they were considered with a jealous eye, as intruding on their ground, and
sharing the kindness which they wanted to monopolize. Though nothing could be
more polite than Lady Middleton's behaviour to Elinor and Marianne, she did not
really like them at all. Because they neither flattered herself nor her children, she
could not believe them good-natured; and because they were fond of reading,
she fancied them satirical: perhaps without exactly knowing what it was to be
satirical; but that did not signify. It was censure in common use, and easily given.
Their presence was a restraint both on her and on Lucy. It checked the idleness
of one, and the business of the other. Lady Middleton was ashamed of doing
nothing before them, and the flattery which Lucy was proud to think of and
administer at other times, she feared they would despise her for offering. Miss
Steele was the least discomposed of the three, by their presence; and it was in
their power to reconcile her to it entirely. Would either of them only have given
her a full and minute account of the whole affair between Marianne and Mr.
Willoughby, she would have thought herself amply rewarded for the sacrifice of
the best place by the fire after dinner, which their arrival occasioned. But this
conciliation was not granted; for though she often threw out expressions of pity
for her sister to Elinor, and more than once dropt a reflection on the inconstancy
of beaux before Marianne, no effect was produced, but a look of indifference
from the former, or of disgust in the latter. An effort even yet lighter might have
made her their friend. Would they only have laughed at her about the Doctor! But
so little were they, anymore than the others, inclined to oblige her, that if Sir John
dined from home, she might spend a whole day without hearing any other raillery
on the subject, than what she was kind enough to bestow on herself.
All these jealousies and discontents, however, were so totally unsuspected by
Mrs. Jennings, that she thought it a delightful thing for the girls to be together;
and generally congratulated her young friends every night, on having escaped

The Kaituna River Bridge is beginning to take shape with the first steel section in place.
It was successfully placed on Tuesday, marking a milestone for the NZ Transport Agency's Tauranga Eastern Link (TEL) project.
The Kaituna River Bridge is a four span bridge which will cross over the realigned Bell Road and Kaituna River. With a total length of 150 metres it will be the longest of the seven bridges being built for the TEL project.
The bridge will carry two lanes of traffic in each direction which will be separated by a median wire rope barrier, and will also include a three metre wide pedestrian/cycleway on the eastern side of the bridge.
During the coming weeks, over 270 steel sections which will form the new bridge will be lifted into place.
The NZTA's Bay of Plenty state highways manager, Brett Gliddon, says a total of 68 piles were driven to depths of 55 metres to construct the two bridge abutments and three piers.
"Two of the piers are located on either side of the river channel which enables the bridge to extend out over the two stop banks."
It is expected that the placement of all the beams for the bridge will be completed by early 2013.

Beans and Greens and Bitchiness
About a week ago I was in line with Jude at the grocery store behind a woman writing personal checks to pay for three separate orders. It was almost lunch time, so Jude was done with his toys and sitting in a cart. In order to keep the peace, I grabbed a container of Gerber puffs from the aisle behind me and poured him a big handful. "You're lucky," I told him, "You never get to have these!"
The woman paused and looked at me. "Why not?" she asked.
"Well," I replied, "I make most of his food."
She raised her eyebrows, "Oh, you're that kind of mom."
That kind of mom? Excuse me? Homegirl was lucky I was in a nice kind of mood or I would have said something along the lines of: "You mean the kind of mom who enjoys cooking? The kind who wants to know what's going into her baby's mouth? So maybe your kids were raised on blue box mac and cheese, and they grew up fine. That's great. So did my husband. So did I. But if you want to be all Judgy Judy let's start with that dye job. 1982 called and it wants its roots back."
Of course I didn't say any of that. But I was pissed. What is it about having children that makes people feel the right to pass out unsolicited advice or criticism? I was spared that when pregnant with Jude. Amazingly no one tried to touch my belly or asked if I was taking my pre-natals. Maybe it was the "Don't friggin touch me," look plastered on my face. Whatever it was, it has passed. Because obviously this woman felt the need to say something judgmental and nasty to me. Next time I'll be ready.
I went home and cooked. Another meal that works well for us and the babe. It's vegan and gluten free, too, in case you, like so many of my friends now, have dietary restrictions. Or babies with dietary restrictions. The only thing I can't figure out is how to lose the onions (sorry Jess!).
Garlicky Beans and Greens
Adapted from Bob's Red Mill
3 cups cooked cranberry beans (canned cannelini or kidney beans are also fine!)
4 cups vegetable stock
1 large onion, chopped
1 large carrot, peeled and chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb. kale, chopped
1 small can tomato paste
2 tsp. cumin
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1-2 tsp. red pepper flakes, depending on your taste
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup water
juice of one lemon
In a large dutch oven, combine all but the last three ingredients. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until kale is tender, about 8-10 minutes. In a bowl, whisk cornmeal into water and lemon juice. Stir slowly into the pot and continue to simmer until thickened, about 15 minutes. Serve with crusty bread if you wish.
Adaptations for Young Babies:
Guess what, your baby can totally eat this. At about 7 months it's safe to introduce leafy greens and garlic, so go for it! You may want to do a few adaptations to reduce the amount of spices if your baby has yet to try them until you know he likes it.
Just start with the first five ingredients (beans through kale) in the pot and simmer until tender. Puree as much as baby will eat and set it aside. Then you can add the tomato paste and seasonings to the pot and simmer for five minutes before adding the cornmeal mixture. That way you can still enjoy the full flavor of the meal and your baby can get a taste, too. Jude loves this. He's bean eating variations of greens and beans for months and it is one of my favorite go-to combos now!

this recipe is right up my alley ... gotta bookmark this one - and as for miss prissypants - screw her. I don't know what it IS about motherhood that makes strangers feel like they need to add their crappy two cents. I have plenty of change.

The kind of mom that cares enough about her child to give them a warm, healthy, thoughtful home cooked meal. I would have lost it - go you for being nice. ps- I'm that kind of mom too. out daycare provides lunches for toddlers and up and I am the only one that insists on bringing in P's lunch day in and day out. They gave me some "i don't get it" looks but you know what? It's all worth it to me. Now I'm still battling with them because on top of my food they give her whatever the other kids are eating and it drives me nuts! Then again, I feel bad if P wants some of the food the other kids get. Oh motherhood...

I just got introduced to your blog while looking for healthy snacks for an upcoming road trip I am taking. Love this post! Had a similar situation at the store yesterday when I was buying a bento box for my son's lunch for summer camp. The person bagging commented on it and I said that I liked it because it had an ice pack so I could send him with something other than a PB&J every day. She asked what was wrong with PB&J? I said that variety is the spice of life and a healthy diet! She just rolled her eyes at me and said something along the lines of we all ate PB&Js and we came out just fine. Yes, and every vegetable I ate growing up came out of a can, that doesn't mean its right! People think because you have made choices, you are judging their choices or that you have a poor opinion of how they raised their kids. I am a live and let live kinda gal! If all you could afford, or had time to give, or had the energy to give was a PB&J (or vegetables out of a can), okay! To each his own!

text: From the AF webpage, another good job by our PJ's: http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123266835 8/5/2011 - KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. (AFNS) -- A helicopter crew and pararescuemen assigned to Kirtland Air Force Base recovered a hiker Aug. 1 who had been lost in Colorado since July 30. The HH-60 Pave Hawk crew of four Airmen from Air Education and Training Command's 58th Special Operations Wing, and two pararescuemen from Detachment 1, 342nd Training Squadron, recovered Lashaye Westbrook, a 22-year-old from Farmington, N.M. She had become separated from a group hiking near Pagosa Springs, Colo., and was reported missing at 5 p.m., Saturday. Local civil authorities were notified and assembled a group of approximately 50 people to search for her on the ground. On Sunday, search coordination authorities requested support from the 58 SOW to help with one of their "Pave Hawk" helicopters. The first crew and pararescuemen launched from Kirtland Air Force Base at approximately 1:30 p.m. Westbrook, dressed in shorts and a red top, had been reported missing in rugged terrain about 11 miles north of Pagosa Springs, Colo. The first crew conducted an airborne search for four hours before nightfall halted their efforts. They reported no sign of Westbrook during the search. On Monday, a second helicopter crew was launched to relieve the first, arriving at 7:30 a.m. to rendezvous with the ground team and continue the search. At approximately 10:20 a.m., pararescueman Staff Sgt. Mark Houghton spotted a person on the ground, although her clothing didn't match the description they'd been given of Westbrook. The crew decided to make a closer investigation and after a few overhead passes, observed Westbrook waving a stick to let them know she was the one they were looking for. Lt. Col. Brandon Deacon, the mission commander for this recovery, operated from a ground site near Pagosa Springs. Maj. Ryan Kay, the mission pilot, and Maj. Adam Rudolphi, the co-pilot, executed a precision hover in the steep terrain as the flight engineer, Master Sgt. Jamie Karmann, lowered a pararescueman, Staff Sgt. Scott Dowd, on the rescue hoist to retrieve Westbrook. Dowd secured the hiker to the hoist and Karmann lifted them up 180 feet to the helicopter, where pararescueman Houghton wrapped her in his jacket, assessed her for initial injuries, and gave her water. The 512th Rescue Squadron helicopter crew also included Tech. Sgt. Rick Casto, aerial gunner. After the recovery, the helicopter was just five minutes away from Stevens Airport, where the crew radioed ahead for an ambulance to provide medical treatment when they landed. Westbrook was reported to be in good condition after being stranded for two days without shelter, food and water. During the ordeal, she also endured rain along with overnight low temperatures in the 40s. The recovery crew said she told them she was relieved, tired and cold, and just wanted to sleep. Kirtland AFB is the home of Detachment 1, 342nd Training Squadron, the only pararescue training mission in the Air Force. The 24-week Pararescue Recovery Specialist Course includes field medical care and extrication basics, field tactics, mountaineering, combat tactics, advanced parachuting and helicopter insertion/extraction. With their medical and rescue expertise, pararescuemen are able to perform lifesaving missions in the world's most remote areas. The mission of Air Education and Training Command's 58th SOW is to train mission-ready special operations, personnel recovery, missile site support, and UH-1 distinguished visitor airlift aircrews in direct support of air expeditionary forces for the world's best Air Force. They also respond to humanitarian missions like the successful mission they conducted in recovering Westbrook. The pararescuemen are among the most highly trained emergency trauma specialists in the U.S. military and Kirtland AFB, N.M., is the home of the only pararescue training mission in the Air Force. With their medical and rescue expertise, along with their deployment capabilities pararescuemen are able to perform life-saving missions in the world's most remote areas.

So much for 'innocent until proven guilty'
Page Tools
All right, Michael Sellers (Letters, February 17), let's debunk this "conspiracy theory" once and for all. Let's assume that all the rabid nonsense you have heard about Mamdouh Habib being a "mercenary" or a "martial arts expert" or a "possible September 11 pilot" is true. What then?
It seems to me that all those who are arguing that Habib has done something wrong - including, most frighteningly, a number of Government ministers - are in fact trying to claim that three years of imprisonment and torture is an acceptable punishment. Once you accept that arbitrary imprisonment and torture are legitimate practices, even if only in limited circumstances, then you are already close to the bottom of a very slippery slope. Please think about that.
Jeremy Moses Higgins (ACT)
I wonder how Michael Sellers would go about proving that he was not a terrorist if so accused? But this is exactly what he is asking Mamdouh Habib to do.
And while he is at it, Sellers might like to prove that he has never committed murder, is not involved in child pornography and doesn't pick his nose.
It's impossible to do so, which is why our justice system states "innocent until proven guilty".
Ian Semmel Maleny (Qld)
Is Dennis Richardson - "he was actually with people in Afghanistan who have a history of murdering innocent civilians" - now saying Habib was working for the Americans?
Roger Cooper Schofields
Does anybody know why Australian personnel had to leave the room if an Iraqi prisoner of war was about to be interrogated? If such interrogations were being carried out in accordance with the Geneva Conventions, then why leave?
Does this suggest that the Australian Government knew that the Geneva Conventions were being deliberately and regularly breached by its allies, and is under the mistaken assumption that if you don't see the evil you can somehow escape culpability?
Gerard Horton Paddington
When I heard Professor Christopher Tennant speak about his professional findings in relation to Mr Habib on television on Wednesday night, I assumed that he had his patient's permission to do so. I was appalled to hear him glibly admit yesterday morning that he had deliberately "technically" breached Mr Habib's confidentiality.
His decision to go public with this information for whatever reason has undermined the trust of all of us who rely on doctor-patient confidentiality to create the therapeutic relationship.
Helen Stirling Cremorne
If Miranda Devine could rise above her protective stance on the Howard Government ("Obsessions overshadow vital lessons", Herald, February 17), it might occur to her that for our democracy to function efficiently, the political opposition and the media bear a responsibility to the Australian people to question, in relation to important news events, the credibility of the institution wherein the buck eventually stops: the government of the day.
Max Fischer Scarborough
As usual, Miranda Devine gets it wrong. It isn't about saying sorry to Cornelia Rau, although that would have been the right thing to do; it's about Amanda Vanstone's portfolio and why the inquiry into Rau's detention and treatment are to be secret.
It isn't about whether Mamdouh Habib needs to tell 60 Minutes what he was doing in Afghanistan, if he was even there, but about why Australia doesn't know what happened to one of its own citizens when he was in the custody of one of its biggest allies, and what the Government's going to do about it.
And we've known well, those of us not so credulous or intent upon sycophancy, about the weapons of mass destruction lies for a long time, but Australia's involvement in any interrogations having crossed into extra-legal activities remains an open question, one well worth probing fully.
John Howard is Prime Minister, despite his misdirection, half-truths and outright lies, and his Government is unlikely to fall on any of these issues, but it would be beneficial to the country if the electorate could keep these issues (among many, many others) in mind at the next election, regardless of whether Ms Devine can keep her facts straight or not.

Choice is indeed the key to student unionism
Good on Sarah-Jane Collins for saying that "we will continue to fight for universal membership, because that is our choice" ("The campuses have already spoken", Herald, February 17). I am all for allowing people to make a choice. Every student should be able to choose whether to join a student union.
If so many students want to join (and pay) then Sarah-Jane has nothing to fear. Why not let students exercise real choice by introducing voluntary student union membership? We would then see if so many intelligent people would choose to allow someone else to spend their hard-earned money on things they do not want or cannot use.
Paul Cotter North Rocks
Those of you who attended tertiary institutions will remember the subsidised facilities and services, the clubs and societies and welfare services that were provided through unionism.
If Dr Brendan Nelson succeeds in introducing voluntary student unionism the majority of these services will be unsustainable. This would be another great tragedy for an already suffering tertiary education system in Australia.
Emil Wajs-Chaczko Lane Cove
Rockets, not pickets
When are the surface-to-air missiles going to be installed at what has become Australia's White House in Canberra ("Capital idea: let's fence ourselves in", Herald, February 17)?
With the building now virtually a fortress, to not only keep out those sneaky and persistent terrorists, but also Australian citizens, the missiles would be the icing on the cake. Or have these must-have accessories already been installed and we haven't been told?
What a shame the money being spent on feeding the Government's paranoia and ego-tripping was not channelled into something more constructive, like education or health.
D. Fraser Gold Coast (Qld)
No limit to possibilities
Wow, more points for speeding and they cost less to buy than before. Add that to double points during the holidays and an amazing array of speed limits to choose from and there's something to please everybody ("Drivers speed up to go with the flow", Herald, February 17).
And don't forget the school quiz. Is it a school day? Are they on holiday? What time is it? Is this a 40kmh time or can I do 60? Or is it a 50 zone? Fun for one and all.
Michael Stanbridge Bonnet Bay

Don't bank on it
Neil Feller (Letters, February 17) should consider himself lucky. Last December, over a four-day period, nearly $11,000 was milked from one of my business accounts via credit card fraud. This involved more than 40 transactions and this account typically has less than 10 transactions a month. What did my "community" bank do? Nothing. (I have since got my money back.)
Peter Baxter Manly
Enter stage east
Elizabeth Farrelly made a brilliant suggestion: build an opera theatre at Darling Harbour East ("A whole new meaning to the word icon", Herald, February 15). The hall at present used for the production of operas is not well suited for this purpose; the very expensive alterations proposed will still not make it an ideal opera theatre. Why not build an ideal one at Darling Point East?
Stephen Angyal Northbridge
We expect too much
The biggest problem with Medicare is not the lack of funding or the waiting lists. It's the mentality that care should come at no cost to the patient. And so chronically ill people sit on waiting lists when they could receive immediate treatment by dipping into their pockets.
This is the nation of the get-up-and-go, of self-help and independence. Why are we sitting around waiting for the Government to take care of our health?
Peter Maresch Lane Cove
Flight of fancy
Tim Dyce has three options to get around his dislike of being served by all other nationalities on Qantas (Letters, February16). Buy enough shares in Qantas and vote at shareholders' meetings; fly with another airline whose staff is of a more appropriate nationality; or stay at home to get "that home-grown flair".
I would rather have the cheap air fares and an efficient staff of any nationality.
Just out of curiosity, what does Mr Dyce do when he gets off the plane and discovers entire countries populated by non-Australians?
Ravi Shah Glebe
Hear, hear, Tim Dyce. Take the Australian out of Qantas and what do you get? Bloggs Airline, that's what.
Mr Dixon, most Aussies are not prepared to forget Qantas's beginning, its war service, its history. It took so many of us on our first big trip away from home, only to turn up to take us home again, and as you stood in some freezing airport, you almost wept when you saw that big beautiful skippy on her tail, heard "g'day" and suddenly you were home. The laid-back crews, with their great sense of humour, the true Aussie voice coming from the flight deck.
Money cannot buy that, Mr Dixon. Leave Qantas where she belongs. In Australia.
Arlys Baker Burleigh Waters (Qld)
Say that again
John Howard says Australia will meet the greenhouse gas targets as set by Kyoto Protocol. He says it would be too much of an impost on the economy to sign the Kyoto Protocol.
I know one of the above statements must be wrong, I just don't know which one.
Bob Eggleton Neutral Bay
Through thick and thin
Gee, some of these 4WD owners have thin skins. Must be why they have such thick vehicles.

By the Book
Now that Claire Smith has identified Peter Costello's Christian compassion (Letters, February 16), could she highlight which parts of the New Testament call for the abolition of unfair dismissal laws and the increased casualisation of the workforce? Or is that in the Book of Job?
Matt Levey Camperdown
Give blokes some points for trying
Denise Wasley (Heckler, February 17) makes some fairly dramatic generalisations regarding men, in particular men who cook. I take great exception to this because, as my partner can attest, I do all the cooking and I also do my share of the ironing and cleaning.
In regard to the clothes washing, I must admit I have been banned on the basis of deficiencies in colour separation and procedural errors associated with female undergarments.
I might not be perfect but I resent being criticised for at least trying.
Denis Goodwin Gosford
A fish by any other name
Contrary to what its managing director, Grahame Turk, seems to think ("Facelift for fish market", Herald, February 17), not everyone is turned off by a fish market that smells like a fish market.
Indeed, there are those of us in this over-sanitised world who'd liken going to an odourless fish market to the thing they used to liken showering in a raincoat to.

Living with the Herald
I'm turning 70 this month and for fun I totted up the number of Heralds I've read. Say, for argument's sake, I started looking at the pictures in my parents' Herald by the time I was four. That makes 66 multiplied by 312 Heralds a year. The total is a staggering 20,592 Heralds plus leap years, minus Christmas Days, minus a few holidays.

Is that scientific comment or just barking dogma?
I write this from an office in Chatswood where I do work under an unforgiving air-conditioning unit. I think the heat must have got to Professor Ian Plimer when writing his own dogma on stereotyping ("Science kept out by the greens' dogma", Herald, February 16).
I can't speak for any other "greenie", but as Professor Plimer's worst nightmare - a city dweller who likes to watch "asinine" nature shows - I don't have any particular yearning for the good old days that never existed. But I do object to the wanton destruction of pristine natural habitats in the name of profit and economic growth.
Professor Plimer can sit there monitoring the ever declining wilderness and then write a book about it, but personally I'd rather try to look for a better way of doing things that doesn't sacrifice flora and fauna for lower interest rates and a bigger GDP.
Phil Webb Miranda
Ian Plimer contradicts his professed values of scientific rigour and impartiality by failing to provide a single scrap of evidence to support his derogatory comments about conservationists and creationists.
I would remind him that science allows us to make value judgements about nature by giving us insights into its wonders and how they may be threatened by humans.
It also reminds us how little we still know about this world.
Graham Daly Engadine
Ian Plimer makes some telling blows against the dogmatism of environmentalists. However, he brushes over one of the most dogmatic myths of modern society - the supposed clinical objectivity of scientists.
Scientists have no preconceptions, no assumptions of their own? That has about the same probability as a celibate rugby player.
Perhaps all of us should step back and examine our prejudices and dogma before attacking others.
Fergus Hancock Muswellbrook
Is Ian Plimer suggesting that people who live in cities are disqualified from holding opinions about global warming, excessive land clearing, felling of old-growth forests, poisoning of the Barrier Reef with fertilisers, ruination of our rivers, etc?
In fact, is he actually saying anything - or just opening his scientific mouth and letting his scientific belly rumble?
