Huffington Post: Burning The Page: Jason Merkoski Tells Inside Story Of Amazon Kindle

Posted: 09 Apr 2013 09:18 AM PDT

The following is part one of a five part excerpt from Jason Merkoski's Burning the Page: The eBook revolution and the future of reading. Merkoski was an early innovator on Amazon's Kindle team, and his new book discusses how ebooks came to be, as well as where they're going. This excerpt is about the inside story of the Kindle:

Working at Amazon was like taking a step back in time to Seattle's pioneer roots, back when Seattle was the gateway to the Yukon gold rush. Working on the Kindle was like living in the Wild West.

For projects that broke new ground, like the Kindle, there didn't seem to be any law, any sheriff, or any real consequences for making wrong decisions, because nobody knew the right ones. People seemed to wear their six-shooters out in the open, taking potshots at one another while hiding behind Donkey Kong machines. When vice presidents argued in the hallways, trigger fingers twitching, I could almost imagine a tumbleweed blowing between them.

Huffington Post: Sequestration Forces Cancer Clinic Patients To Travel Thousands Of Miles For Treatment

Posted: 09 Apr 2013 09:19 AM PDT

WASHINGTON -- Some cancer patients enrolled in clinical trials in rural areas will have to travel thousands of miles to continue their treatments as a byproduct of spending cuts brought on by the sequester.

Last week, The Washington Post reported that cancer clinics were starting to turn away Medicare patients because the cost of administering chemotherapy drugs had risen significantly under sequestration. Those patients were left seeking treatments at local hospitals that still had the capacity to provide care.

But the situation is much more complicated and dire when it comes to cancer patients taking part in clinical trials. Because those patients are part of small groups involved in drug development research, their options for supplemental care are limited. In some cases, cancer patients in rural areas may be forced to travel all the way across the country to get the treatment they need.

A CNN reporter claims to have located and talked to the man wanted for abducting two children and sailing them to Cuba.

Reporter Patrick Oppmann says he found suspect Joshua Hakken at a Havana marina and confirmed that he was the father of 4-year-old Cole and 2-year-old Chase Hakken, who arrived in Cuba on Monday.

Joshua Hakken wouldn't answer any questions, and Cuban security reportedly told Oppmann to leave. But Oppmann also claims he saw a child on Hakken's boat, as well as a woman matching the description of Hakken's wife.
