Why Internet won't wipe out newspapers
Article Abstract:
Critics continue to predict the imminent demise of the printed, daily newspaper as the public knows it because of the Internet age. It is argued that the Internet will not replace print publications. This is because people worldwide continue to demand news more than ever before, and the more they read, see and hear, the more information they want to know. In the past much of the news gathered by journalists never reached the public. The Internet, television and cable has solved this by enabling newspaper publishers to distribute news to significantly more people through those mediums.

Utah forecasters aim for accuracy in 2002
Article Abstract:
Participants and spectators at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Utah are expected to receive considerable weather forecasting support. This has been made possible largely because of a unique study conducted in Feb 2000, by a team of meteorologists from the National Weather Service, National Severe Storms Laboratory and the universities of Utah and Oklahoma. Extensive storm data collected by the team will enable a considerably greater understanding of the precipitation process along the Wasatch range where winter olympic activities will be held.

High fuel costs put brakes on trucking business
Article Abstract:
The heavy-truck industry was badly hit by rising fuel prices. The high costs have resulted in forcing some truckers out of business and creating a glut of big tractor-trailers for sale. Statistics show that sales of big tractor-trailers declined by 6.5% during the first six months of 2000, in comparison to the same period in 1999. A 20% decline for the whole year has been predicted by analysts. The sectors feeling the negative effect of rising fuel prices are trucking companies and independent truckers, truck retailers and manufacturers.
