One question people want to ask the journalist-turned-Web-entrepreneur Larry Kramer is: Why would he take a job as publisher and president of the troubled USA Today?

He doesn't need money or success; the founder of MarketWatch sold that thriving financial website in 2005 for more than half a billion dollars (his share: about $20 million). He has won journalism prizes, run two local newspapers and served as a senior editor at The Washington Post.

He's comfortable, too, with posts on corporate boards and homes in tony Tiburon, Calif., and Manhattan's Upper West Side (although he's going to sell the one in Tiburon and buy something in Northern Virginia). And his wife, Myla, is dabbling in New York show business, sinking money and time into shows such as "End of the Rainbow," "Hair," and "Priscilla Queen of the Desert."

The answer, Kramer says, is he wanted to get back into the fray of digital journalism. "Being a board member and consultant is wonderful, but the one frustration about it is when you really want to get something done," he said in an interview. "You can give all the advice you want, but you can't say, 'Give me two weeks, and I'll get it done for you.' "

There's plenty to get done at USA Today, which announced Kramer's appointment last week. The national newspaper of Gannett, a chain of 82 U.S. dailies, "has been struggling mightily," says Doug Arthur, a media analyst at Evercore.

While it is a strong brand, Arthur says, "it needs a lot of work." Advertising has suffered during the recession, he adds. Although USA Today won a measure of respectability and is no longer ridiculed as the McPaper, or junk food of journalism, the paper has grown thin.

But in an industry enveloped by the gloom of dwindling circulation and sinking ad sales, the genial Kramer sees opportunity.

"This is like a Gutenberg moment," he said. "We're reinventing storytelling on a digital platform. Suddenly, we can use every form of storytelling in one place pictures, graphics, words. If we need an interactive map, show me the map. If it's a plane crash, show me the video. We see a new art form that's going to be a much more dominant form of storytelling. That's the exciting part for me."

Kramer says USA Today needs to distinguish itself. "We don't just need to have a voice," he says. "We need to be an orchestra of voices."

NEW YORK - Some elements of planning out your estate are obvious, others not so much.

Increasingly your digital assets, everything from online bank accounts to frequent flier and rewards programs to social media are becoming a consideration for estate planning.

Financial writer Catey Hill suggests designating a "digital executor" to handle wrapping up your online life.

"Say, 'Here's what I want to have happen with my Facebook account, here's what I want to have happen with whatever it is, my email, my Flicker', you need to lay all of that out for someone."

Which could mean setting up all the information for your digital accounts online in one place.

Websites such as LegacyLocker and SecureSafe offer digital estate planning help, or you can go the low tech, hard copy route.

"Make one document with the account name and the account number and another document with the passwords and keep them separate, so that someone can put them together if you died and figure that out," Hill suggests.

In some cases, even with that information, your digital executor may still need to provide legal documentation of your death to make sure your online life doesn't survive long after you do.

SAN ANTONIO Its a catchphrase likely coming soon to fan T-shirts, Internet memes and the lexicon of the NBA playoffs for the foreseeable future.

"I want some nasty!"

Spurs 101, Thunder 98

Manu Ginobili comes off the bench to lead the Spurs with 26 points.

After scoring only 16 points in the third quarter, San Antonio scores 39 in the fourth.

Gregg Popovich didnt just coin it. He snarled it, and the way his San Antonio Spurs obliged has the Western Conference finals off to a thrilling start.

Manu Ginobili scored 26 points and the Spurs won their 19th in a row tying the NBA record for longest winning streak kept alive in the playoffs by rallying in the fourth quarter on the orders of their furious coach to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 101-98 in Game 1 on Sunday night.

It was a tantalizing near-upset for the young Thunder, who came as close as anybody to beating the Spurs for the first time in 46 days. But a nine-point lead didnt last after the famously mercurial 63-year-old Popovich the NBAs Coach of the Year huddled his lagging team together in the fourth and told them to "get nasty."

The Isle of Man has welcomed praise for the island's burgeoning aerospace sector in an important new report from the Institute of Directors (IoD), considering the future trajectory of the United Kingdom industry.

The report entitled Space: Britains New Infrastructure Frontier, and authored by Dan Lewis, Chief Executive of the Economic Policy Centre, Chief Executive of Future Energy Strategies and Energy Policy Adviser to the IoD, was presented to an audience of 100 key players in the British space industry at a recent event hosted by the Institute.

A full chapter, dedicated to the Isle of Man space industry, The Isle of Mans Mighty Space Sector, highlights the islands ethos of innovation and its commitment to embracing new and growing industries. The report says: "Like many micro nations, the Isle Of Man has a history of quickly adapting to fast emerging industries from fishing to banking to financial supervision to the film industry to e-gaming and e-commerce and now space", with the report putting much of the islands success down to achieving a cluster effect of major companies.

The report also highlighted the island's home grown 'space champion', ManSat, and its role in orbital filing with the UK telecoms regulator, Ofcom, in addition to the presence of the Space Data Association (SDA) on the Isle of Man which, just this month, held a successful workshop with the International Institute of Space Commerce with participants from the US and Europe.

Attending the event from the IoD event to launch the report was Tim Craine, Director of Business Development at the Department of Economic Development, who commented: "It is highly significant that the island received the recognition and praise for its space sector from a prestigious body such as the IoD and is further evidence of the strength of the sector and significant interest that the islands space industry attracts."

Alex Downie, Member of the Department of Economic Development with responsibility for Space, added: "The IoD event was an ideal opportunity for the island to demonstrate that its space industry is complementary to, rather than in direct competition with, the UKs space industry. This partnership is important to emphasize how the island adds value to the UK economy as well as providing benefit to our own economy."
