"Go get 'em"

It is a week of epic flooding along the Mississippi, including injury, loss of life, and damages estimated at over $1 billion in Iowa alone.

John McCain’s current TV commercial features him “sounding the alarm on global warming.” Al Gore joined Barack Obama’s change campaign at a rally in Detroit.

Today NOAA released “Weather and Climate Extremes in a Changing Climate” (US Climate Change Science Program).

The world’s heart went out to Tim Russert’s family. “Timmy’s” beloved ones, including his son Luke, echoed his famous slogan: “Go get ‘em!”

Here’s to Tim Russert: May his star forever shine.

Why give up our precious bucks for messy newspapers?

Why give up our precious bucks for a stack of messy newspapers?

The Newspaper Association of America Total Paid Circulation Report shows newspaper circulations sliding downhill yearly since 1993.

The number of daily newspapers has been steadily decreasing since 1940. In 2006, declining daily newspaper circulations slipped back to 1948 figures.

The Internet frontier is overtaking newspaperland. This week, we chose not to renew our daily newspaper subscription.

We also discontinued our newspaper business advertising, since our UPfirst.com platform effectively draws in and informs our customers.

We will save about $1000 per year by leaving newspaperland behind.

Why give up our precious bucks, for a stack of messy newspapers, when we can get our news online for free?
