...retired police chief, died from multiple stab wounds to the chest. Charged with the murder (but not with terrorism offenses) was Kamel Bourgass, a 27-year-old North African. Handcuffed, he was led into southeast London's high-security Belmarsh court on Friday in white-hooded police overalls. A slight figure, he was dwarfed by a phalanx of police officers clad in bulletproof vests. His alleged victim, Oake, was a practicing Baptist who had occasionally served as a protection officer to Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Although the adapters are clunky--about the size of a matchbox--I found the sound quality to be decent. I liked the $179 Jabra Freespeak BT200 best, although there was some slight static in the background, and I had to turn the volume up high to hear well. The $200 Plantronics M1500, on the other hand, had good volume but was user-unfriendly and staticky. A friend I called said it sounded as if I was playing with aluminum foil...
