This year being a "census" year in our nation, it got me thinking about association publishers, and when and how we take a "census" of our members and readers—not just counting them, but actually gathering useful information to help us plan and create better media products.
The bottom line is that publication performance data is your ultimate tool for competitiveness and survival. Knowing exactly how you are performing and competing can tell you when to take action to prevent losing clout in your industry or funding from your association—if you have the numbers early enough to do something about them.
I happen to live and work in Michigan. Michigan is not going to be a shining star in the 2010 U.S. Census. How do I know that? Well, last December, the U.S. Census released preliminary numbers related to the U.S. population, and it does not look good for Michigan. The only three states to lose population from July 2008 to July 2009 were Michigan, Maine, and Rhode Island. This means that Michigan will lose a Congressional seat and our clout in Washington, DC. We also will lose federal funding to those states that gained population.
Now, suppose that Michigan is one of your association's publications. If you've got accurate and recent data, you know what challenges are coming, and you can take action to deal with them. If your publication is well-read and respected, the survey will confirm that—and if the opposite is true, the survey will open your eyes to that fact as well. Then, if you are tasked with cutting back, you know without a doubt, which publications are scoring well with your members and which are not.
Just as the U.S. Census sticks to its 10-year schedule without fail, gathering information about your association publications' performance and competitiveness on a regular basis (every 12 months for sure, six months is even better) will also allow you to take stock of where you were and how it compares to where you are today.
Using an expert's help to craft and conduct a reader survey is recommended. When you write the survey yourself, you're just too close to it, and you will (either on purpose or unknowingly) write the questions in a way to elicit the response you are hoping to get. Furthermore, surveys conducted by an independent expert hold much more clout with advertisers than those conducted by the association itself.
However, if you really do not have the funds to conduct a well-executed reader survey, doing your own survey is better than nothing at all. At least it tells the members you are listening. Ask your association colleagues to share samples of their reader surveys to give you some ideas.
And remember, the most important question is not: "Rank our publications in order of their usefulness to you." The most important question is: "Where do you get your information?" You need to know what information sources (and delivery choices, e.g. print publications, newsletters, newspapers, blogs, social media, etc.) your members turn to most. That will tell you much more than holding a popularity contest among the association's own publications.
Your publications land on your members' desks and in their inboxes every day—there's no better door-to-door than that. Measure everything about your publications that can possibly be measured—your future depends on it.

Lars Sipila purchased this apartment in 2008
To have a pleasant holiday in a big city like Paris, what matters most to us, is:
- Central location close to main tourist attractions, yet in a residential neighborhood, allowing you to easily do your shopping at local markets and stores.
- Quiet and peaceful, for a good night's sleep after a long day of sightseeing.
- Modern equipment and comforts. Despite the charm of some ancient buildings, we want to be sure that in our apartment, there is sufficient hot water for everyone for a decent shower or bath, a lift that is big enough so that you need not climb up the stairs with your luggage, a fully equipped kitchen, and finally, that it is in superb condition and perfectly clean.
This is why we chose and equipped our apartment in Paris, to meet the needs of anyone seeking a quality holiday rental, just like we do when we're travelling ourselves.
Great central location with easy access to public transport.
Stylish design, yet very confortable.
Luxurious bathroom and fully equipped kitchen.
Exceptionally well maintained, with attention to details, to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
Not ideal for families with young children, due to many sharp edges of its glass furniture and some sensitive surfaces.
We spent 4 nights in this well appointed convenient apartment. It was exceptionally clean and provided everything you could require for your stay. The quality and condition were just as the photos reflected - chic and modern. The beds were comfortable, latest appliances, beautiful bathroom, quiet position with lovely outlook. We enjoy being in the Bastille/Marais area so was perfect for us. It has the bus running outside the door to main attractions and metro only a few minutes walk away. We felt very safe in the area. Bastille Opera House only five minutes walk.
Most importantly though was the excellent communication and advice provided by Lars and Martine before and during visit.
For a couple or couple and child or two singles I would thoroughly recommend this apartment. Would certainly return next time in Paris.
This was our first time staying at this property and would do so again. The apartment is well located and convenient to the Metro. The building is secure and the apartment is quiet, comfortable and well appointed. It is also easy walking distance to restaurants and sights. The outdoor market on Thursdays and Sundays is close and well worth exploring. Lastly, both Lars and Martine were easy to communicate with and accommodating.
"Nice room with TV, audio set, DVD. Neat kitchen, clean and comfortable bath room. Toilet is clean and separated. Everything is perfectly prepared. The location is perfect. Only 30 seconds walk to the Bastille marche (on Thursday and Sunday).
It was amazing welcoming hospitality with a bottle of wine and breakfast for next morning. I didn't need anything to buy for washing clothes or dishes. Even shampoo, conditioner, body wash (of BODYSHOP) was there!"
Impeccable. 10 points
Tel que présenté sur le site, spacieux, très propre, bien équipé et très bien entretenu. Nous avons eu un accueil impeccable et chaleureux avec la représentante. Il y a un guide très bien fait dans l'appartement et nous avons eu de bons conseils de la représentante du locateur. Les informations reçues du locuteur au moment de louer étaient précises exactes. C'est un bel appartement très tranquille dans un immeuble de classe très bien situé.
Nous le recommanderons certainement.

El apartamento es de lo mejor en los que me he alojado, no solo en España, sino en otras ciudades de Europa.
La situación perfecta. A cinco minutos andando a la Plaza de los Vosgues. A la plaza de la Bastilla se puede ir andando perfectamente, unos 12 minutos. La linea de metro nº. 8, estación de Chemin Vert a 3 minutos del apartamento, muy bien comunicada.
El autobús no lo cogimos, pero pasaba por la puerta. Tienes cafés y bristros por toda la zona. Hay una tienda de congelados y un pequeño supermercado que te facilita si quieres comprar algo de comida y bebida.
Ahora toca hablar del apartamento. En vivo es mucho mejor que las fotos. Limpio, ordenado, acogedor, tranquilo. La decoración exquisita, nada cargante. Eso si, es ideal para adultos, si piensas ir con niños pequeños no te lo aconsejo. Es un apartamento para cuidarlo. No le falta detalle. Las persianas y los toldos, automáticos, aprietas un botón, subes y bajas persianas a tu antojo. Si duermes en la habitación "zen", yo la he bautizado con ese nombre, es una gozada. Tienes un biombo, que puedes cerrar las tres hojas, cierras las dos puertas correderas de los lados y perfecto para descansar.
Bueno, después de todo este "rollo" que he soltado, toca hablar del dueño.
En persona no tengo el gusto de conocerlo. Hemos hablado mucho por Internet, preguntando cosas, dudas, etc.
Pero os digo una cosa. Viendo el apartamento, con el mimo y el cuidado que lo tiene solo tengo una palabra para describirlo. IMPRESIONANTE.
De verdad si pensáis ir a París, comprobarlo por vosotros mismos. Cien por cien aconsejable.
No se cuando volveré, pero si tengo claro donde me alojare.

Tampa Man and Maryland Banker Sentenced for Bank Fraud and Other Offenses
|U.S. Attorney's Office August 16, 2012
TAMPA, FL—U.S. District Judge Virginia M. Hernandez-Covington today sentenced Michael Anthony Prozer, III (36, Tampa) to eight-and-a-half years in federal prison and Fedor Stanley Salinas (35, Maryland) to 27 months in federal prison. Prozer and Salinas pled guilty on April 9, 2012, to conspiracy to commit mail, wire, and bank fraud; mail fraud; wire fraud; and bank fraud. Prozer also pled guilty and was sentenced for making a false statement to a financial institution. As part of their sentence, the court also entered a money judgment against each in the amount of $2,959,995, the proceeds of the fraudulently obtained loan.
According to court documents, Prozer, formerly the chief executive officer of Xchangeagent Inc., recruited Salinas, a financial specialist at Wachovia Bank in Langley Park, Maryland, to aid in a scheme to defraud a Georgia bank by obtaining a short term business loan. The loan was purportedly secured by nonexistent collateral. Prozer and Salinas produced fraudulent bank statements and supporting documents to convince bank officials that Prozer had more than $21 million deposited at Wachovia Bank, when in fact no such funds existed. The scheme resulted in a $2,999,995 loss to Park Avenue Bank in Valdosta, Georgia.
This case was investigated by the United States Postal Inspection Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It was prosecuted by First Assistant United States Attorney A. Lee Bentley and Assistant United States Attorney Sara C. Sweeney.

An update on Milwaukee's streetcar project
The city plans to release the proposed route of the Milwaukee streetcar project by late spring or early summer, and hopes to begin construction of the streetcar guideway in spring 2014.
The schedule was included in a filing with the state's Public Service Commission. The PSC has not yet ruled on whether the city or utilities must pay for moving utility lines out of the way of the streetcar route, a cost utilities have estimated at more than $55 million.
The city has allocated $64.6 million - funded by $54.9 million in federal aid and $9.7 million from a tax-incremental financing district - to pay for construction of the modern streetcar line from the lower east side to the downtown Amtrak/Greyhound station.
In the PSC filing, City Engineer Jeff Polenske said the city is considering a split in which streetcars would travel south on N. Broadway and north on N. Milwaukee St. between E. Wells St. and E. St. Paul Ave.
Polenske also reported that the city is expected to announce by the end of this month the name of the final design consultant.
Under a proposed design and construction schedule, construction of city utilities for the project would begin later this year. Construction of other utilities would begin late this year.
"However, the extent of private utility work to accommodate the streetcar project will not be determined until the final alignment has been established and the utility coordination efforts have been completed," Polenske wrote. "As such, the city recognizes that revisions to the project schedule may be necessary based on the actual extent of work to be performed by the utlities and regulatry approval that may be required."
The Common Council has capped the total cost of the of the initial 2-mile segment at $64.6 million and has directed city officials to come up with spending reductions to offset any overruns. Ald. Bob Donovan, who is opposed to the streetcar, has said he wants a Common Council vote to halt work on the streetcar unless it is approved in a referendum.

Though the dog days of summer can often seem to stretch on for a sweltering eternity, the onset of school uniforms and carpools will be on us sooner than you think.

Today I want to share Our Best Aussie Moments, in photos and joining in on the Fun over at Adventure Tours. Do you know how many photos we have taken over our New Life on the Road lifestyle? OVER 2,000 photos!! And that's only in the last two years. I have many more on my computer but that crashed before I could save the pictures.
Our Best Aussie Moments ::
Cameron Playing ~
At Theresa Creek Dam. Clermont.
We spent a short break, one weekend camping at Theresa Creek Dam. So wished we had more time to return there because it was the best weekend ever. Theresa Creek Dam has a playground for little ones, a Cafe/Shop, Shower Block and a Dam to swim in {for warmer months}. The beauty is that it cost $10.00 per night for Two adults – they don't charge children!!
There is no power, and no internet/phone reception which I LOVED!!
This was at Noosa Beach QLD. I played around with my lenses, and zoomed in close as possible. Cameron didn't even know I was taking photos of him so it was a perfect natural image! This was taken on a late Friday Afternoon – where we let our boys play for some time before we headed over to tables/chairs for Fish n Chips for Dinner.
It was one of those moments where it wasn't summer so we didn't get burnt, but because it was the warmer climate of Australia we didn't cold when the sun went down.
We love beaches, and we love Playgrounds…I think that we could say we travel around Australia visiting both!
This Was Our First Night In Wollongong ~
and one of my favorite Moments in Time.
It was raining yet Kyle wanted to explore the Beach so we got out the Umbrella and let him play in the ocean. The combination of the beach and the rain….he had a ball playing. Here I capture him with him turning around – he was watching how the wind caught the Umbrella. We also got to watch the Sun Setting.
Such a natural pose for him….moving to his own drum beat!!!
This was our first time showing our Boys Darling Harbour. We so wanted to spend more time there but we had to leave to meet up with our older son..this one is from a couple of months ago.
We drove our car into Sydney, parked and walked as much as we could around the Darling Harbour. We passed this Endeavor Ship where our son Zachery gathered the information about their Sailing Program. The day was great for creating new dreams for our boys – they all want to try sailing!!!
We have been to Mt Pleasant Lookout about three times so far. Every single time it takes my breath away – it over looks Seven Mile Beach in the distance. Its also on the way to Berry – famous for its donuts.
Every time we are driving down from Wollongong to Berry, Nowra or even on the way to Ulladulla we stop here to take a moment to look out and reflect.
We loved a day in Sydney…..we caught a train in on a Sunday for $2.50 per person. Which meant we could travel on Train, Buses, and Ferries all day for the one price. We caught two ferries that day – one from Circular Quay to Manly and back. Then From Circular Quay to Darling Habour – where we got off and walked to Town Square.
Its a great way to explore Sydney because there is so much to see from all levels of the Ferries – we sat inside, outside, down stairs and up stairs!!
This is one of the beach's in Wollongong – where our boys were chasing each other. Then they moved onto looking at all of the Sand Crabs. A great way for them to run of their energetic little bodies. As well as a great way to learn more about life through exploring.
One day I decided to drive for as long as possible, and to explore an area where I used to frequently go on holidays to. Even though we left too late in the afternoon to really spend enough time looking at everything in Ulladulla, the lighthouse made up for it.
I love Lighthouses – not sure what it is about them. Its almost like they hold a story to them – if they could only talk imagine the stories they would come out with. They stand tall and proud, looking out for the boats in the sea. Almost like a Grandma figure in an Italian Family!!
We love exploring Australia, and have so much more to see and do. Even if you had two lifetimes you could never ever see all of Australia 🙂
This is in Wollongong area. It is Holiday Cabins reflected in the Clear Water. Picture Perfect moment….not a ripple in the water so it almost looked like Glass. Clear. Crystal Clear. Almost like looking at two images together.
These are a few of Our Best Aussie Moments…there are plenty more in our archives but I thought these were the best of the best!
What Do You Like About Travelling Australia?

text: Although there are many ways to describe Marleni Chavana, the most fitting seems to be "Smarter than your average bear". As a junior at a magnet school in New Jersey focussing math and science (healthcare), she is constantly worrying about her grades and all things college related. As any overachieving dramatic teenage girl would, she is constantly challenging herself by creating new life plans for herself incase she fails her chemistry exam, or as she would say it, 'Taking one step closer to failing at life'. When she is not checking her college related Google News Instant Alerts, she participates in many clubs, including Science Olympiad and Healthcare Occupations Students of America (H.O.S.A.), is a student teacher at a local Catholic school, and an active volunteer for the Icla da Silva Foundation. She is also an alumna of the 2014 Girls Who Code Summer Immersion Program. Outside of the classroom, Marleni enjoys playing noncompetitive sports, is in love with all things owl, is a voracious reader, and thinks that knitting and extreme couponing should be considered sports. But at the end of the day, she is just like any other girl; laying in bed in her ugly pajamas, eating a tub of ice cream, and obsessively looking for spoilers of new episode of the Mindy Project.

We stayed in Malaga for 10 days. The apartment was located in a central, and for the city, fairly quiet part of the town. It was well equipped and overall it was a fresh place. It had all the necessities you would need.
Fede is an excellent host. He was available at all times for any questions we had and he provided us with much needed information at our arrival. He gave us a map full of places worth visiting and he had added some of his own recommendations. Since this was our first time in Malaga, it was much appreciated.
This was our first time travelling with Wimdu, and we would certainly do it again!
This apartment is in the central area of Malaga, and we were able to walk easily to all of the sights we wanted to visit (with the exception of the botanic gardens - a short bus ride away). The appartement is very comfortabele, has great space, great beds and great shower. Fede is very nice, helpful - the perfect host.
We definitely recommend the apartment.
Thanks, Fede!

Eine sehr schöne Woche in Malaga, Fede war sehr nett und hilfsbereit, die Wohnung war sehr schön, modern und großzügig, Alles war perfekt wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
Tagsüber Kultur,Shopping und Strand,abends tolle Restaurants und Bars,Die Lage perfekt.
det var en rigtig dejlig oplevelse, at vi kunne være i forbindelse med Fede allerede inden vi ankom til Malaga. Vi kunne stille spørgsmål og fik hurtige svar. Da vi ankom, var Fede i lejligheden. Han gennemgik alt med os, og havde indtegnet ruter og punkter på et bykort i forhold til vores ønsker for opholdet. lejligheden ligger i et roligt kvarter og er ren, lækkert indrettet, alt fungerer. Fede er imødekommende og hjælpsom. vi kan varmt anbefale stedet.....selvom det måske kan betyde, at det er optaget, når vi skal derned igen.
Marianne og Rosie
Although a little outside of Malaga city centre (20 mins walk) this apartment is a gem.
We met Fede outside the apartment and he showed us around and then talked with us about our stay and pointed out some areas and sights that we may want to check out. Fede spoke very good english and was very kind and helpful, chatting about his family and recommendations of local eateries rather than the tourist eateries within the city centre.
The apartment has everything you would need, a lovely galley kitchen, a large spacious living area, two toilets. The bed and room were both comfortable and airy. The apartment and furniture was of modern design.
Our stay was for a long weekend and the apartment was ideal as set in a quiet residential area. We saw so much while we were in Malaga and can recommend and Alcazaba Fort and Gibralfaro Castle with a walk up to the highest point, Picasso square with its lovely restaurants and bars, the cathedral and churches are amazing, the small streets with tapas bars and a must see is the oldest bar Casa De Guardia, serving Sherry from barrels. We also visited Jose Carlos Garcia's 2 michelin star restaurant in the Port which was a fantastic experience.
In all, the apartment and week end was super. Thanks Fede.
Fede ha sido un anfitrión maravilloso. Muy agradecido a cualquier sugerencia para mejorar nuestra estancia. Nos dio información para ver málaga . Recorrimos todo lo que nos dijo y la verdad lo pasamos muy bien. Nos gustó todo muchísimo.
El apartamento muy coqueto y amplio.
El apartamento olía bastante a húmedad y el baño mucho también.
La cama es doble pero pequeña y solo hay una mesilla, faltaría una segunda.
Es un bajo y se oye mucho ruido de la calle así como cuando llueve el agua golpea el armario del calentador y suena mucho.
El apartamento es muy céntrico y bastante útil para conocer la ciudad.
Falta un microondas para calentar la comida. Hay solo un grill.
Really nice appartment, nicely designed on a quiet neighborough but walking distance to everything.
Communications were the most easy:nearly instant replies, disponibility. You feel really secure. Informations are clear, useful and really professionnel.
À great choice in this vibrant city.
top appartement. prima ligging. aanrader.

Hello everyone, it's Carly here today! I don't know about you, but I am always interested in hearing about how other people approach project life, so today I thought it would be fun to share a little bit about my approach to it.
I've mentioned before that I do project life monthly vs weekly which really fits well with my style of stress-free documenting. Each month I document what I can, when I can and from there I build my pages.
This year I have also added more purpose and intent behind my photos. Each day I take a photo of something that I'm grateful for and by the end of the month I have at least 30+ meaningful pictures to pick from.
So what's my plan of action for when it comes to creating and building my pages? First, I always carry a small notebook in my purse and use it to jot down things I want to remember. Maybe it's something my girls said or maybe it's just something that happened and I want to be sure I'll remember it for later. Most of my notes throughout the month either end up in my month in review cards or are added directly to a photo.
When it comes to creating my project life pages I like to keep the process pretty simple. Everyday I download any iPhone photos while my phone charges in the evening. I've also got into the habit of deleting any pictures I don't want to keep right after I've taken the shot so when it comes time for my photos to be downloaded, they are all keepers. With my SLR pictures I typically download them once a week and only when I have time to go through them, delete any non-keepers and edit the ones I want. I then put my project life pics in a folder on my desktop for printing at a later time.
Once I have all my photos collected, edited and ready to go in a folder on my computer's desktop and all my notes in my notebook for the month, I then set aside some time for printing my pics and pulling my pages together. This entire process is usually pretty quick because all the groundwork is done and all I need to do is add my journaling to my photos and/or journal cards, and print. I then pop everything into my page pockets, add a journal card filler, or two, if needed and I'm done!
Breaking my project life process down into bite size chunks makes it so much more manageable for me to stick with. Typically by the time I've selected and edited my photos and combined them with my journalling, I have already a layout in mind for my pages so all that's left to do is the printing and placing.
How about you, what's your approach to project life documenting? And as always, if you have any questions about my post today please don't hesitate to leave me a comment and I'll be sure to answer you back.
To see my other Paislee Press projects you can visit here, and you can always visit me at my blog, on Instagram or over at Pinterest.
*Products used in today's pages include: loved + other sentiments, week in review cards, pictures + words no.4, and happy as a lark element pack.

Canada undefeated in wheelchair basketball championship
Alarissa (Ally) Haak had an accidental introduction to the sport of wheelchair basketball.
"It was my high school coach. I tore my ACL in his boot camp and he wanted to keep my shooting sharp so he just pushed me into wheelchair basketball and I haven't left yet," said the 19-year-old member of Team Canada's entry at the Women's Under-25 World Wheelchair Basketball Championships in St. Catharines.
The Sherwood Park, Alta., native played stand-up basketball around the world with a Western Canada travelling team and was able to take many of those skills to wheelchair basketball.
"I took my shot and court awareness. There's a lot of things that are similar and a lot of things that are totally different. Defence is totally different."
And when you fall in the two sports, it's totally different. The university student took a nasty tumble Sunday in Team Canada's 60-47 victory over Germany, but said it was nothing.
"It was just a little fall. It would be like tripping over your own feet."
Neophyte spectators to wheelchair basketball this week in St. Catharines have been surprised by the physical nature of the sport and Haak loves it.
"It's like NASCAR with a basketball in the middle. It's a good way to get out your aggression, but at the end of the day you're friends with the other team. I think that's really cool," the 5-foot-11 forward said.
Speaking of cool, that would be an apt description of Haak's shot Sunday. She was 1-6 from the floor against Germany, but still made a strong contribution with solid defence and six key rebounds, including three in the fourth quarter when Germany was making a comeback.
"My shot just wasn't going down and it happens. But there's so many other aspects to the sport and shooting is just one of them," she said.
Team Canada head coach Michael Broughton said there are many aspects of Haak's game to like.
"She came from a stand-up background and she has all the fundamentals and court sense. Now it's just getting the chair skills down, but she is phenomenal.
"She's come a long way in the year we've had her and been able to work with her. And she's fantastic off the court. She's so relaxed and loose," he said.
She also benefits from a good dose of basketball genetics. Her father, Ken, was a bench player on Canada's national team and he plays a major role in her hoops career.
"He has always been my personal coach. And his love and passion for the sport has rubbed off on me," she said.
With its win over Germany, Canada improved to 3-0 and clinched first in Group A. It will play the fourth-place team in Group B Tuesday.
The Canucks were cruising along with a 41-19 lead early in the third quarter, but Germany made it close with an 8-0 run and then another 7-0 run at the end of the third quarter and start of the final quarter. Germany cut the lead to 52-45 before Canada put it away, thanks to buzzer-beater three-pointers by Cindy Ouellet and Abby Stubbert.
"It was a little tight down the stretch. It was for first place and I think nerves played a big part. We were lucky to make some shots down the stretch and play the clock," Broughton said.
Fans for the first weekend of the championships have been sparse, but Haak hasn't been bothered by the fact that Team Canada is its own loudest cheering section.
"We come here to play the sport and we love the sport. We play for ourselves," she said.
After a day off Monday, the tournament resumes with quarter-final games Tuesday at 11 a.m, 1:15 p.m., 4:45 p.m. and 7 p.m. Canada is in the last game of the day.
Canada 65 Japan 52
Canada built quarter leads of 14-8, 31-24 and 51-40 Saturday on the way to a 65-52 victory over Japan. Ouellet led Canada with 25 points while Maude Jacques added 16. Stubbert contributed 14 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists. Mari Amomoto led Japan with 20 points and Moe Uchim netted 13.

De La Salle's Hooper wins duel with College Park's DeMers
Updated 7:03 pm, Saturday, May 9, 2015
The first time they faced each other, De La Salle-Concord senior Justin Hooper played for the San Ramon Slammers. College Park-Pleasant Hill senior Joe DeMers threw for the Pleasant Hill Condors.
They were 10 years old.
"We've been going at it a long time," DeMers said. "This was a little different."
Cal's Evans Diamond was packed with approximately 2,500 fans, including a couple of dozen pro scouts, to watch the potential first-round draft picks match pitch for pitch Saturday.
Both were brilliant for five innings before De La Salle struck for three runs in the bottom of the sixth, capped by a mammoth two-run homer from 6-foot-3, 235-pound first baseman Blake Ogburn, for a tidy 3-0 nonleague victory.

DeMers, considered the leader to be national Player of the Year, according to MaxPreps baseball editor Kevin Askeland, left a changeup up in the zone, and Ogburn drilled it off the Safeway banner in left-center field.
It came immediately after Michael Reuling broke a scoreless tie with a solid single to center, scoring Michael McAdoo, who opened with the inning with a double.
Hooper, a 6-foot-7, 230-pound left-hander, struck out the side in the seventh, giving him five K's in the last two innings and 10 in the game. He gave up two hits, walked none, hit two batters and stranded five runners in the third and fourth innings.
DeMers took his first defeat in his past 22 starts. The burly 6-2, 230-pounder had won 21 consecutive starts over three seasons. The game lasted 93 minutes.
"We go way back," Hooper said. "It was exciting to throw against him again."
It was hard to tell Hooper was excited. Projected as a top 15 to 35 pick, Hooper said he blocked out the crowd, the radar guns and dozens of TV and photo cameras.
"It was just a regular game, and I tried to compete the best I could," said the pitcher, who has a scholarship waiting at UCLA if he doesn't sign a pro contract. "I was just worried about what was going on on the field."
Said De La Salle coach David Jeans: "He was dialed in. He's got a routine and he knows what he wants to do. It's fun coaching a kid like that."
Hooper topped out at 95 mph, but College Park (18-4), ranked 11th in the country by MaxPreps, with seven scholarship players, was making good contact. Hooper (5-2) adjusted and used a sharp breaking ball to retire 10 straight before a two-out infield single by Tom Hammill in the seventh. He got Hank DaRe on strikes to finish his first complete game of the season, lifting unranked De La Salle's record to 14-6.
DeMers, who entered 9-0 with an 0.22 ERA this season, was working on a three-hitter with five strikeouts entering the sixth.
The Washington commit, who topped out at 93 mph, had retired eight straight before a Joe Vranesh leadoff double in the fifth. DeMers left him stranded with a popout, strikeout and groundout.
"I'd give my fastball an 'A,' but my curveball was a 'C,'" DeMers said. "I left my changeup up too much. Those are things I can work on."

Create a Halloween lantern with stars for eyes, the Christian fish symbol for a mouth, and a cross for its nose. Then pass out the following poem (source unknown)
Jack O' Lantern
I am a Jack O' Lantern
My lights will shine so bright
For I'm a Christian pumpkin
My symbols tell what's right
My nose is like the cross
On which our Savior died
To set us free from sin
We need no longer hide
My mouth is like a fish
The whole wide world to show
That Christians live in this house
And love their Savior so!
The story starts at Christmas
My eyes are like the star
That shone on Baby Jesus
And wise men saw from far
My color, it is orange
Just like the big bright sun
That rose on Easter Day
Along with God's own Son
And so on Halloween
Let's set our pumpkins out
And tell the trick or treaters
What God's love is all about!

I just wanted to get a discussion going on MediaWhiz's new product Inlinks.com. I didn't need long to figure out this will go poorly for advertisers no matter what. The business model will work great for them, but not for long until Google figures out a way to start dropping the ban hammer. Google is clear on paying for links to influence the search results, which in reality just clutters the web with shitty sites that keep you from finding what you want. So how many of you will actually consider trying something like this out?

Inlinks.com Launched By MediaWhiz…I'm Staying Away
Best Of The Web Directory Links For SEO
This is the first post in the section for Paid Links, which is just as it sounds…everything related to buying quality text links from very reputable review services such as Best Of The Web. This is perhaps one of the most well known, and oldest directories on the web today. It has been running since 1994 when an University student named Brandon Plewe created the platform to enable he burgeoning online community to nominate and vote for best-of-class websites in a variety of categories. The site blossomed into a web directory of unique and content rich websites that served the online community.
This is one of the few web directories that I recommend to clients when we're doing a campaign in a tough niche. Getting into the BOTW Directory requires that your site be up to standards, and dish out unique content, or a original service. If your website makes it then you've managed to attain a link that is worth its weight in gold.
Best of the Web is committed to maintaining the high standard of listings that has proven key to its success while continuing to grow. To rank among the Best of the Web, a site must adhere to the strict criteria of editors who ensure that it contains substantive unique content, navigates in a user-friendly manner, contains no broken links or pictures, is up and running 24/7, and conforms to universally accepted web standards. In this way, quality sites are added to the directory on a daily basis and listed in relevant categories that run the gamut of the alphabet from the arts to zoology.
The great thing about paying for a review to be in the site, is that you not only get the link juice, but targeted traffic that comes from the directory. You can get your listing within 3 business days, and once approved you get acess to a control panel with all your stats and payment history. Pricing is set at $99.95 annually recurring review fee, and $249.95 one-time review fee.

Mumbai: Under a cloud after one of its activists was nabbed for the murder of Communist leader Govind Pansare, right-wing group Sanatan Sanstha on Friday claimed it was being targeted by political parties with a design to malign its image.
Just because one person — Samir V. Gaikwad — has been arrested on certain technical grounds, most political parties were making a demand to ban and kill the Sanatan Sanstha, the organisation's spokesperson Abhay Vartak told media persons.
"People from the Congress, Nationalist Congress Party and others never miss the opportunity to malign our image, though we are a completely patriotic organisation engaged in nationalist activities," Vartak said, naming several people to justify his contentions.
The Sanatan Sanstha's self-defence came in the wake of Gaikwad's arrest in connection with Pansare's murder in February. He was nabbed from Sangli and is currently in police custody till September 23.
Vartak said the organisation was fully backing Gaikwad as he was being wrongly implicated in the case and expressed confidence that the truth will soon come out.
A Sangharsh Samiti formed after Pansare's murder met and submitted a memorandum to the Kolhapur collector demanding a ban on the Sanatan Sanstha.
Lawyers in Kolhapur have demanded that charges of treason should be invoked against Gaikwad and have unanimously decided not to fight his case in court.
In a related development, Maharashtra Police on Thursday detained two more people — Sushil Jadhav and Shriram Jadhav — from Karnataka in the same case.
Pansare, 81, was shot at from close range in Kolhapur on February 16 and succumbed to the bullet injuries four days later.
His wife Uma, who was also shot at and seriously injured, survived the attack.
Police raided Gaikwad's residence in Sangli and recovered 23 mobile phones, a large knife and Sanatan Sanstha literature, while further investigations are on in other parts of the state.
A police team from Karnataka has also arrived here to question Gaikwad to ascertain a possible link between the Pansare killing and the recent murder of Kannada litterateur M.M. Kalburgi, who was shot dead outside his home in Dharwad on August 30.
Investigators are probing whether the killing of Pune rationalist Narendra Dabholkar, who was shot dead in August 2013 was also connected to the murders of Pansare and Kalburgi.
Investigations are on simultaneously in various parts of Maharashtra, Goa and Karnataka.For all the latest Regional News, download NewsX App

Wal-Mart Stores, the nation's largest retailer, has agreed to pay $135,540 to settle federal charges that it violated child labor laws in Connecticut, Arkansas and New Hampshire.Labor Department officials said most of the 24 violations covered by the settlement involved workers under age 18 operating dangerous machinery, including cardboard balers and chain saws. In the agreement, Wal-Mart denied any wrongdoing.Department officials said that one of the violations was in New Hampshire, three were in Arkansas and 20 were in Connecticut, where the investigation began in 2001. One violation involved a youth who injured his thumb while using a chain saw to cut Christmas trees.The Labor Department and Wal-Mart signed the agreement on Jan. 6, but made no public announcement. The department disclosed the settlement yesterday after a reporter questioned officials about concerns raised by several department employees that the agreement gave Wal-Mart special favors.The agreement states, "Compliance with the child labor laws and regulations will be an important factor in evaluating the performance of managers."A provision also promises to give Wal-Mart 15 days' notice before the Labor Department investigates any other "wage and hour" accusations, like failure to pay minimum wage or overtime.That provision drew criticism yesterday from Representative George Miller of California, the senior Democrat on the House Education and Workforce Committee. It also prompted complaints from some Labor Department investigators who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation."With child labor cases involving the use of hazardous machinery, why give 15 days' notice before we can do an investigation?" asked a district office supervisor who has worked in the wage and hour division for nearly 20 years. "What's the rationale?"Victoria Lipnic, assistant labor secretary for employment standards, called the settlement typical, saying that giving Wal-Mart notice before conducting investigations would encourage the company to correct the problems sooner.The department employees also said the agreement was unusual because the department had never announced it.Department officials said they were preparing a news release and were waiting for Wal-Mart to pay the $135,540 before making the settlement public.In the settlement, Wal-Mart agreed not to employ any worker under age 14 and agreed to prohibit any employee under 18 from operating cardboard balers. It also agreed to post a notice on each cardboard baler saying that minors may not use or touch the balers. Wal-Mart also agreed to train new store managers about compliance with child labor laws and to provide more training to current managers on the subject."We worked with the Department of Labor to strengthen our training and compliance programs," said Gus Whitcomb, a spokesman for Wal-Mart, which is based in Bentonville, Ark. "Again, our focus is to be 100 percent compliant with all applicable laws."Wal-Mart has faced previous child labor charges. In March 2000, Maine fined the company $205,650 for violations of child labor laws in every one of the 20 stores in the state. In January 2004, a weeklong internal audit of 128 stores found 1,371 instances in which minors apparently worked too late at night, worked during school hours or worked too many hours in a day. Company officials said the audit was faulty and had incorrectly found that some youths had worked on school days when, in fact, those days were holidays.Under the new agreement, the Labor Department did not waive its right to conduct future investigations. Still, several department officials suggested that the provision for 15 days' notice might give Wal-Mart an opportunity to hide violations.John R. Fraser, the government's top wage official under the first President Bush and President Bill Clinton, said the advance-notice provision was unusually expansive."Giving the company 15 days' notice of any investigation is very unusual," Mr. Fraser said. "The language appears to go beyond child labor allegations and cover all wage and hour allegations. It appears to put Wal-Mart in a privileged position that to my knowledge no other employer has."Ms. Lipnic countered,"We usually call employers before we go to investigate," and said there was "nothing uncommon or unprecedented about that."Several federal employees voiced concern about a Jan. 10 e-mail message sent by the director of the Little Rock, Ark., office for the Labor Department's wage and hour division after the settlement was reached, that said, "Wage & Hour will not open an investigation of Wal-Mart without first notifying Wal-Mart's main office and allowing them an opportunity to look at the alleged violations and, if valid, correct the problem."But Cynthia Watson, the division's Southwest regional director, said advance notice would speed compliance. "We are seeking to centralize the points of contact in order to get the people involved to resolve the issue," Ms. Watson said.Correction Tuesday, Feb. 15, 2005Because of an editing error, an article on Saturday about the settlement of a child labor case against Wal-Mart omitted a response from the Labor Department in some copies to an assertion that the agreement granted Wal-Mart privileged treatment by giving it 15 days' notice of future investigations of any wage-and- hour complaints. Victoria Lipnic, assistant labor secretary for employment standards, said the advance notice applied only to complaints alleging child labor violations.

text: Today's visitors to the studio were two of Independent Animal Rescue's newest arrivals! Marmite and Me Too are adorable two-month-old kittens, and they'd be a perfect addition to any family. They bring opposite personalities: energetic Marmite loves to play with people, toys, and other animals; his white-bibbed sister Me Too is polite and curious, with a gentle soul. IAR always makes sure its kittens are adopted in pairs, so you could take home both of them! And you can meet them in person this week on Black (Cat) Friday at the South Square Petco in Durham.

Chris Shaffer
Chris Shaffer was raised in Stillwater, Minnesota and left our great state for four years to attend the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, where he earned degrees in Meteorology and Mass Communications.
Chris is an Emmy award-winning meteorologist and a proud member of the American Meteorological Society. He has been awarded the AMS Certified Broadcast Meteorologist (CBM) designation. You may have seen him over the years doing the weather on television at KMSP FOX9 and WFTC/UPN 29. You may have also heard him back in his radio days on KOOL108, BOB100 (as Blaze Bodean), 104.1 The Point (as Cheeks), Cities 97, K102 (as Jack Wilde and himself) or KTLK.
It is no wonder why Chris is so passionate about Minnesota weather. His great uncle Wilbur was struck and killed by lightning while farming in southern Minnesota in the summer of 1952.
His family vehicle was once chased by a tornado near Maplewood, Minn. and one December on the way to Grandma and Grandpa's house, his family spent the night snowed in at a church in Winthrop, Minn., praying the blizzard would let up so they could get to Redwood Falls and open their presents the next morning.
Chris and his wife have family members all around the Twin Cities. And it's natural to forecast for the entire region with family in Pipestone, St. Cloud, Willmar, Sartell and Blooming Prairie just to name a few.
Chris loves the weather because it is always changing and is a constant challenge, much like raising his three daughters, who are as loud as a thunderstorm, pretty as a sunset and strong as a straight-line wind.
And who can forget the family pets … two guinea pigs (Pixie and Posie) and a Boston Terrier named Bailey.
