Kindle Me Delighted If Josh Quittner were elderly with macular degeneration, he would be as thrilled as my Kindle-loving 76-year-old husband [March 30]. The print can be made larger. It is so light, he can hold it. He doesn't lose his place. If his eyes get tired, a soothing voice can read to him. And it is so painless to use. Whiny kids in their 40s and 50s can complain, but for us, the Kindle is priceless. It has changed his life. Barbara Plungy, DENVER

Indeed, insurance premiums have risen along with the ransom amounts, according to Regester, who estimates that coverage for a single voyage through the Gulf of Aden costs about $20,000. With shipping companies hard-hit by the global downturn, some opt simply to take their chances running the gauntlet of pirates, rather than pay insurance premiums. "I reckon less than 10% of vessels are insured now," says Regester. "K&R policies are considered a luxury." Whether...
...miscues. Vertovez drew a leadoff walk and came around on a pair of Eagles errors. But the comeback was for naught, as Kooistra ended the game in the bottom of the inning with her longball.“It’s never fun to lose on a walkoff home run and have to walk off their field,” Vertovez said. “We wanted to get back in there and score some more runs. We just have to capitalize earlier and we won’t run that risk.”Black, who took home...
