A season of 39 catches is an impressive receiving statistic.It takes greater meaning when you toss in the fact the receiver – Andrew Jackson High School senior Justin Sellers – has done so with a broken bone in his right hand."Justin's heart is bigger than that pain in his right hand," AJ receivers coach Alex Fair said. "He gives it all each Friday night. That's just the way he is. Justin is tough and he's been a solid player for us all year.

You may, but I want to at least complete a vanilla campaing on every Total War I own before modding them.
No need to fear,it just improved vanillia stuff:
It combines bug fixes, many small mods, changes to AI and AI armies, more provinces, graphical improvements and many other campaign and battle map changes in a package aimed at providing a much greater challenge and more enjoyable gameplay.
Stainless Steel mostly keeps the same setting as the original Medieval 2 campaign, though it expands the map east and north while removing America.
Some people see it as expanding on the things they disliked the most. I'd rather have something to compare with.
I'm very conflict-centered, so that wont be a problem for me, I use agents as much as it's needed, and not more.
Maybe that's part of the reason I always have such flimsy economies.
Hawken beta. NDA is over, right?
It feels like playing UT while drunk and partially blindfolded. Not the worst thing I played, certainly, but needs improvements ASAP. Right now IMO the UI is terrible. HUD is painful to watch at. Can't see a thing behind giant YOU ASSISTED IN KILLING SOMEGUY messages. Robots don't feel like robots but that may be a conscious decision by devs. Levels are pointless mazes impossible to memorize or navigate, very few landmarks. I love the design but game is a bit too fast pased to pay too much attention to postapocalyptic anime-inspired landscapes. Also, grind. People complained about grind for flares/defibrilator in BF3( 32 vs 32 game in which a lvl 1 guy with assault rifle is always welcome) but it's nothing compared to this. You are the worst mech( Almost Urbanmech-bad) with worst weapons, it takes 20-30 seconds of firing main weapon to kill anyone and it overheats, now go kill bad guys in a small map in 4 vs 4 TDM, everyone else is lvl 7-20. Good luck.
Asscreed 2 is out, Sleeping Dogs is in. Combat, story, playground are all better in sleeping dogs and with the high res pack and sliders set high it looks brilliant.
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKK KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK, because I had sudden crave for something doomlike.
Well that's a first. I am literally stuck in a corridor first person shooter.
Any advice - or rather, just tell me how the hell does this work - about rope swinging section in BLOPS2? I click the buttons. I hold the buttons. I do it before the wall, when I hit the wall, and when the prompts appear. And I bounce off and die every time.
Just finished Spec Ops.
That was... intense.
So I'm just peacefully having a nice game of Fallen Enchantress when some huge monster wanders over and eats a city. How rude.
The game is fun, but not mechanically demanding of the player. Standard sticky cover stuff that you can switch off and blaze through, however, you will be paying attention through out the entire thing because of the story.
It's excellent, possibly above and beyond what The Walking Dead has done story in games this year, even though it's a completely different set of feels provided by the time it's all said and done.
The way the storyh is delivered is nothing short of amazing really.
Criminally under the radar this game.
Get it while it's still cheap on Steam
Hey, the AI is building custom units I designed in my previous game! That's pretty cool.
Put six hours in to Spec Ops,didn't do shit for me.
huh. I was just going to take a short look at To The Moon which I got from some bundle or other, but I ended up playing it for close to three hours and I'm only stopping because I have to get to bed.
I'm not into adventure games at all. They tend to make me feel like I have to work to watch a cartoon, or such, but the story in To The Moon is interesting enough to keep me playing.
I bought XCOM on Friday and got to the final mission yesterday. I find it interesting that on Ironman mode you're allowed to reload the final mission when, I mean if, you fail.
Damn Ethereals...
It's a damsight better than CoD's "Shoot all of the civilians!" attempt, and Battlefields "Shoot your Commanding Officer because a man you litterally just meet told you to!", and I think it derserves some success for that.
Been playing Air Conflict: Secret Wars, and I like it! It's shallow, completely arcade, and it has a silly-but-moderately-entertaining casablanca-ish backstory, but it's fun. Sometimes you just want to fly around shooting baddies, and not bother about trimming your engines.

Frustrating as the project often was, it was too important for Venus to stay away from for long, and she reformed ATPH in mid-2007. "My current drummer is Trevor. I also brought in a second guitarist, Raymond Reed; new bass player, LeFreak; and my latest dancer, Evil Dawn. And that's the current lineup right now."
Whoever backs Venus during All the Pretty Horses' 15th-anniversary extravaganza, audiences are in for some leathery, feathery, smoke-filled fun. Though it might seem designed for fans and insiders only, this quindecennial is for all—music lovers, curiosity seekers, and sexual jihadists alike.

Second Introduction (OA2 Records) by Ben Markley
Broken link? Report it to us
Winner of the 2007 & 2008 ASCAP Young Jazz Composers Awards, Denver-based pianist Ben Markley unveils his new quintet featuring the talents of modern-trumpet genius Greg Gisbert. Well-rooted in the tradition of Bud Powell, Phineas Newborn Jr., and Oscar Peterson, Markley's playing and compositions explore the history while always looking forward. The album's one standard, "But Beautiful," gets a delicate treatment by Markley, while the opening track, "5-20," displays his compositional strengths and pianistic prowess. Those familiar with The Maria Schneider Orchestra are no stranger to Greg Gisbert's trumpet artistry, and his playing here only reaffirms his deserved reputation. Second Introduction is Ben Markley's OA2 debut, and is a swinging journey through the mind of a young talent.

Students and parents apprehensive about "ragging" during the first few days of college in Delhi University can rest easy as the University has come up with a slew of water-tight measures to prevent this menace.
No outsiders will be allowed into colleges, and institutions will have to display prominently rules regarding ragging while also forming an anti-ragging squad to monitor whether any ragging is taking place. There will be police personnel in plainclothes inside and outside colleges.
Delhi University Registrar Alka Sharma said: "Suspension or expulsion or cancellation of degree is the punishment for ragging. Students have already submitted an affidavit at the time of admission stating that they will be liable for one of these things if caught ragging another student."
There will be police pickets outside every college with special assistance being provided to women's colleges. Although preventive or punitive measures will be taken by the Principals, defacing of walls outside colleges by political parties will warrant direct action by the police, if necessary. Police assistance will also be sought against raggers if the college authorities feel the need for it.
Regular surprise visits will be carried out at hostels and even eating joints will be kept under vigil, while electronic surveillance will be carried out at "sensitive areas." The police will also monitor traffic and can barricade any part of the university campus. Students have been advised to use public transport since nobody can be responsible for traffic outside colleges.
There will also be mobile patrolling, where police vehicles will move around the place to take speedy action in case of any untoward incidents. The University has set-up two joint control rooms — North campus can be reached at 27667221 and South campus at 24119832. The control rooms will be operating from Tuesday, a day before college opens officially.
Ways to report ragging
There are also other ways to report ragging. A written complaint can be dropped at the college.
A student can call the national anti-ragging helpline around the clock at 1800-180-5522 or the nearest Police Control Room van by dialling 100.
The information centre at the university from Monday to Friday can be accessed at 155215 or 27006900 or can e-mail can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com
Keywords: Delhi University, ragging, Delhi police

His CPU wouldn't be running cooler with the stock Intel fan, though. The stock fan sucks.
That alone says there's something wrong with the Zalman HSF he's using. It could *possibly* be that the Intel HSF is more convex and fits his processor better. He may need to lap his processor to see better temps, and if that's the case, then I might suggest just RMAng for a new CPU. I haven't lapped mine because I don't want to void the warranty on it.
steve--if I were you, I would do what one person suggested and apply some grease to both your heatsink and your processor. Then place it flat on a piece of glass or a flat sheet of something and see how good the contact is between them. This will tell you whether your HSF or processor is more concave.
Lastly, if I were on air, then I would get me a Tuniq Tower. It's the best HSF out there, period--can even make as much as a 5-8 degree difference from many of the other good HSF's out there.

Isner, who began the Emirates US Open Series with a repeat title in Atlanta, meets reigning NCAA champion from UCLA, 21-year-old Marcos Giron, who is making his Grand Slam tournament debut. Giron turned pro after his junior season. Isner's best US Open result was the quarter-finals in 2011.
On Armstrong, Sam Querrey begins action against 31-year-old Argentine Maximo Gonzalez, who is playing his first hard-court match of the season. Querrey is coming off his third semi-final of the season in Winston-Salem last week. Querrey's best result in Flushing Meadows was the fourth round twice (2008, '10).
In the next match on Armstrong, No. 4 seed and two-time US Open semi-finalist David Ferrer, meets the top player from Bosnia & Herzegovina, Damir Dzumhur, who reached the third round at the Australian Open in January. Ferrer is the highest of six Spaniards seeded in this year's draw.
On Grandstand, Jack Sock looks to continue his successful summer run against Spaniard Pablo Andujar. Sock, who captured the Wimbledon doubles title (w/Pospisil), advanced to two singles semi-finals (Newport, Atlanta). In the other match, 17-year-old Rhode Island teenager Jared Donaldson, makes his pro debut against No. 20 seed Gael Monfils. Donaldson is one of five teenagers in the draw.
On Court 13, Wimbledon junior champion Noah Rubin, who is from nearby Rockville Centre, makes his Grand Slam main draw debut against Argentine Federico Delbonis. Rubin will be attending Wake Forest University this fall.

Democracy Now! reports on the latest developments in Haiti, and former Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide's historic journey home after seven years in exile in South Africa.
- Haitian President René Préval said Sunday that the death toll from the earthquake could reach 300,000 once all the bodies are recovered from the rubble. We speak to Peter Hallward, professor of Modern European Philosophy at Middlesex University. "Unless prevented by renewed popular mobilisation in both Haiti and beyond, the perverse international emphasis on security will continue to distort the reconstruction effort, and with it the...February 22, 2010 | Story
- Much of Port-au-Prince remains under mountains of rubble, and Haitian officials say it would take years to clear out the rubble and begin the process of rebuilding the destroyed city. As pledges of billions of dollars of international aid and investment are made, debates over the vision of a new Haiti are already underway. Journalist Avi Lewis was recently in Haiti exploring the politics of rebuilding the shattered country. He spoke to a...February 16, 2010 | Story
- Haiti has suffered a massive blow, an earthquake for which its infrastructure was not prepared, after decades—no, centuries—of military and economic manipulation by foreign governments, most notably the United States and France.February 10, 2010 | Columns & Articles
As Haiti Toll Revised to 230,000, Journalist Reed Lindsay Reports on Scarcity of Aid in Devastated Port-au-PrinceOne month after the earthquake in Haiti, the official death toll is now at 230,000.

- The devastating toll of the Jan. 12 earthquake in Haiti continues to mount. Most efforts to rescue people from the rubble have ended. More than 150,000 people have been buried, some in makeshift graves near the ruins of the homes where they died, but many in unmarked, mass graves at Titanyen, the site of massacres during previous dictatorships and coups.January 27, 2010 | Columns & Articles

REGION: Century-old water dispute may finally end
Five tribes, two agencies struggle over San Luis Rey River
Most local tribes pump water from wells, but those sources are drying up and need to be replenished, tribal leaders say.
The legal battle to recover their water rights began when tribes filed a federal lawsuit against Escondido and Vista in 1969. The lawsuit continued until the late 1980s, when Congress enacted legislation admitting the federal government's responsibility in the dispute and providing the basis for a settlement plan.
The bill, Public Law 100-675, by former U.S. Rep. Ron Packard, R-Oceanside, established the San Luis Rey Indian Water Authority, an amalgam of the five tribes, and provided a $30 million compensation fund.
The money is being held in a trust fund until a final agreement is reached. After that, it will be used to implement the settlement.
But the law did not end the dispute. The question then became: Where would the water come from?
The answer was not settled until 2003, when an agreement was signed to secure Colorado River water from the lining of the canals.
Since then, the agencies have been hammering out the final details of the plan, including the ability for tribes to sell water they don't use to the cities.
Tribal leaders say they will continue to persevere until the water is restored.
"We're very understanding about the layers of government and legal issues that arise and we'll wait as long as necessary to fight for what we believe in," said Tilda Greene, a member of the San Pasqual band and secretary of the San Luis Rey Indian Water Authority board of directors.

Seagal: Jones wasn't himself
MMA Fighting caught up with Steven Seagal following Saturday night's UFC 135 main event to discuss Jon Jones win over Quinton Jackson. Seagal talked about being more impressed with Jackson than Jones, his words of advice for Jones, why he believes Jones wasn't himself tonight and whether he wants to see Jones fight Anderson Silva.
For his part, Segal spared no effort in elbowing aside Art Davie for entry into the MMA Asshole Hall of Fame.
"I thought there were some very poor performances," Seagal said to MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani. "Didn't you?"
In response to the idea that altitude was to blame for those performances, Seagal said, "We can't be saying that. If you come here, get into shape, get out there and bring it. I mean, come on. That's a bulls--- excuse."
Seagal included Jones in the group of fighters who didn't perform at their best.
When Helwani brought up the fact that UFC commentator Joe Rogan was impressed with Jones' performance, the humble Aikido master explained "I'm a fighter, I've fought all my life." Then Seagal added sarcastically "You can listen to him (Rogan). Maybe he knows more than me. I don't know."
Seagal also tried to take credit for the front kicks his "friend" Jones used vs Rampage. "Him and I did talk about that," Seagal crowed, "but he hasn't learned it yet."

People keep talking about what an asshole Seagal is...if that is right, why is it surprising that he has got into many real fights? Nothing implausible about that.
9/26/11 9:37 PM by Humphrey
he was clearly himself. he just fought someone that was very successful at tdd and a known one punch KO master.jones was very smart using kicks to keep rampage out of range. The only time rampage got a shot he was 10 inches short of hitting jones because he had to attack from so far out.Jones for an extremely smart fight and took out the strengths of rampage. Just like damn near every fighter jackson trains does.
9/26/11 9:35 PM by Bob Saget
Jones was more calculated in his approach this time, he didnt go full berseker like in all of his fights.That doesnt mean he wasnt himself. Props to rampage for defending the takedowns from the Clinch though.
9/26/11 9:28 PM by Humphrey

What I got from that video is you're not hitting your forehand from the ground up enough. I'll let Nick B explain:
Your backhand is different from this, but its difficult to comment on 1 video alone. If you watch the first slow motion part of your video, to me it looks like you sorta push your body forward with your legs on your forehand, the very first slow motion forehand shows it well. There isn't much happening there with the legs, you're a lot more dynamic on your backhand. Forehand seems like this soft lift, a push, almost like you're being careful. On the backhand you load up much better. You gotta drive your legs into he ball. That doesn't mean you gotta be aggressive, but the power should be coming from the ground up, loading from your legs.
Also, what you could work on is opening up your hips earlier to generate better racket head speed. If you watch Rafa in this video, notice how he loads, drives up and before contact his hips will open up allowing him to generate more racket head speed naturally. Your arm will feel like it just shoots through the contact effortlessly if done right. Its a subtle movement with the hips, but big gains.
Thanks, watching it back, it all makes sense. This is the type of feedback I was looking for. I appreciate it!

And i miss more rotation in your forehand, so that your left shoulder face the back fence at the finish, rather than the sidefence. this way you would use the big muscles more and less of arming the ball.
I think this will improve your rhythm and consistency.
I think I try too hard sometimes and it can appear as rushed.

Clinical trials for cats
Purpose of Study": The cancer that most commonly affects the mouth of cats is called oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). This cancer is common and responds poorly to treatment. The average life-expectancy for cats diagnosed with this cancer is about 6 months with only 10-20% of cats alive 1 year after diagnosis. Cats may exhibit a number of problems as a result of OSCC including a swelling in the head/throat, lack of appetite, difficulty eating or swallowing, decreased grooming behavior, excessive salivation, foul odor to breath, change in voice or difficulty in vocalizing. The purpose of this study is to determine if a drug called "Anginex" would provide a safe and effective means of treating OSCC in cats. Anginex is a peptide (small protein) that interferes with the ability of a tumor to make and maintain its blood supply, a process known as angiogenesis. Cancer drugs that target the blood supply of a tumor are called "anti-angiogenic "or "anti-vascular" agents. Because tumors need a blood supply to grow beyond microscopic size, inhibiting angiogenesis prevents tumors from growing and can cause tumors to shrink. Anginex has been used in mice experimentally. In this current study, our goals are to ensure that this agent is safe for cats and also to determine whether it has any effects on the tumor and its blood vessels and oxygen levels.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Cats with a diagnosis of OSCC.
- Cats that have not received radiation or chemotherapy (including Palladia) for treatment of the cancer.
- The tumor has not been surgically removed.
- The tumor is measurable and accessible.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Cats with other systemic diseases that are uncontrolled and likely to compromise the ability of the cat to complete treatment.
- Tumors that are not readily accessible to biopsy and other procedures.
Client Benefits: The study will cover the costs of certain diagnostic tests and treatment. These include: biopsy and pathologist evaluation of tissue, blood and urine evaluation, advanced imaging with PET/MRI and CT, which can aide in future treatments of the tumor such as surgery or radiation therapy. The study will not cover the cost of the initial consultation with the oncology service.
Contact Information: To make an appointment with the oncology department please call the oncology liason, Kelly Reed at 508-887-4682 For questions regarding the clinical trial please email the clinical trials technician, Diane Welsh at: firstname.lastname@example.com
Previous studies on laboratory mice show a decrease in growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11) in the circulating blood of old mice with age-related myocardial hypertrophy compared with young mice with normal cardiac structure. The goal of this study is to see if the same GDF11 deficiency is also seen in cats with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). We will be looking for cats with HCM and cats with normal heart structure to determine if there is a significant difference in the GDF11 concentration between the two groups.
Inclusion Criteria:
Cats with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)
Cats with normal heart structure
Exclusion Criteria:
Cats that become overly stressed or anxious during the echocardiogram
Client Benefits:
The study will pay for the cost of the exam and echocardiogram. Your cat's participation in the study will also allow us to gain information which will help in the management and treatment of other cats with HCM

A common concurrent condition often appreciated in feline CKD patients is cardiac disease. High rate fluid therapy to treat azotemia puts these patients at risk for congestive heart failure( CHF). Anecdotally at Tufts, an improvement in azotemia, appetite and attitude has been noted in cats treated for cardiac disease with pimobendan that also have kidney disease. We would like to assess tolerability of pimobendan and possible benefits in patients with CKD, IRIS stage 3 or 4. Investigating these initial clinical observations with a larger study will help establish whether pimobendan could be a novel treatment for cats with kidney disease. Benefits could include decreased hospitalization time, improved appetite, improved kidney perfusion with reduced azotemia, and the ability to treat kidney disease while simultaneously protecting against CHF in patients with concurrent cardiac disease.
Inclusion Criteria:
Cats with IRIS stage 3 or 4 CKD at the time of hospital admission will be included in this study. After 24 to 72 hours of fluids, once dehydration is judged to be largely resolved (<5% dehydrated), cats would be eligible to enter one of two groups receiving the standard of care and either benazepril or pimobendan.
Cats with concurrent cardiac disease that are not currently receiving cardiac medications and are not experiencing signs of CHF at presentation, including respiratory distress or oxygen dependence, will be allowed to participate in this study.
Exclusion Criteria:
Cats with comorbid conditions (i.e. diabetes mellitus, liver failure, neoplasia, ureteral obstruction, and acute kidney injury that requires dialysis), those unwilling to take oral medication (i.e. vomiting, fractious), and cats with hypotension (blood pressure <120 mmHg) will be excluded from this study.
Any cats experiencing unusual agitation, anorexia, vomiting >2 times, worsening of low blood pressure (<120mmHg), worsening of existing cardiac disease, diagnostic evidence of progression of kidney disease (increased BUN/creatinine), or side effects that adversely affect quality of life after starting the study drug will be removed from this study.
Client Benefits:
The study will cover some of the costs of CKD care, including one set of recheck blood work, blood pressure, urine evaluation, and cardiac evaluation using echocardiographic technique at no additional charge. Your animal will not be subjected to additional diagnostic tests than is standard for monitoring CKD patients. All other costs for treatment of CKD will be incurred by you. Your pet's participation will also allow us to gain information which will help in treatment of other cats with this condition.
Contact Information:
For questions regarding the clinical trial please email the clinical trials technician, Diane Welsh at: firstname.lastname@example.com
The liver performs an essential role in absorption of dietary vitamin D and synthesis of the active form of vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency is a known problem in people with liver disease and these patients routinely receive supplementation. Vitamin D deficiency has not been documented in cats with liver disease. Our goal is to determine if cats with primary liver disease have low levels of vitamin D. If they do this finding could lead to the development of clinical guidelines for vitamin D supplementation.
Inclusion Criteria:
Cats over 1 year of age with one of the following:
- Hyperbilirubinemia
- Elevated ALT and/or ALP
- Cytologic or histopathologic diagnosis of a primary hepatobiliary disease
Exclusion Criteria:
- Hyperthyroidism
- Acute pancreatitis
- IRIS Stage 2 chronic kidney disease (creatinine >1.6 mg/dl)
- Congestive heart failure
- Hypercalcemia (elevated ionized calcium)
- Corticosteroid or ursodeoxcholic acid administration within the last 2 weeks
Client Benefits:
The study will cover the cost of the vitamin D panel. Your cat's participation will also allow us to gain information which will help in the treatment of other cats with this condition
Contact information:
For questions regarding the clinical trial please email the clinical trials technician, Diane Welsh at: email@example.com
The goal of this study is to develop a simple screening method, useful in practice, for the widespread detection of early cardiomyopathy in cats. Cardiac disease is particularly frustrating in cats, as cats may have normal heart sounds, but severe heart disease, or very abnormal heart sounds and no clinically significant disease. Echocardiography (ECHO) by a cardiologist is the gold standard for determination of heart disease in cats; however, ECHO is not widely available and may be cost –prohibitive. Biomarkers, specifically NT pro-BNP and troponin have been introduced and validated for documentation of heart disease in cats, but have not been widely evaluated in apparently healthy pet cats. Our goal is to teach a screening echo – Frontline Cardiac UltraSound –FOCUS to participants, and compare the predictive value of practitioner performed FOCUS exam, physical examination, EKG analysis and biomarker assessment for determining the presence or absence of heart disease with the gold standard of ECHO by a cardiologist.
Inclusion Criteria:
Animals to be included:
a. Species: Feline
b. Sex: Any
c. Age Range any greater > 1 year
d. Weight Range Any; expected to be greater than 4 kg.
Client Benefits:
The study will cover all of the costs of this study, physical exam, EKG, echocardiogram, biomarker blood test. Your pet's participation will also allow us to gain information that will help in the early identification of heart disease in cats. If we diagnose heart disease in your cat, we may be able to institute treatment earlier than we would otherwise have been able to do. You understand that your animal's participation in this study may not alleviate or cure his/her ailment.
Contact information:
For questions regarding the clinical trial please email the clinical trials technician, Diane Welsh at: firstname.lastname@example.com
The aim of the study is to see if we can identify a new virus (feline morbillivirus) in cats in the New England area. This virus has only previously been identified in cats in Hong Kong and China.
We are particularly interested in determine if the virus infects US cats, since it has been associated with chronic kidney disease, one of the most common and devastating diseases of pet cats worldwide.
Inclusion Criteria:
Any cat weighing greater than 2 pounds
Client Benefits:
There are no direct financial benefits for you to enroll your cat in this study. Additionally, there will be no direct benefit for your cat's diagnostic or treatment plan as the results of the tests will not be available while your cat is in the hospital. The results will remain anonymous and thus cannot be disclosed to you at any time.
The results of this study should help us in the future to determine if feline morbillivirus infects cats in the United States, and ultimately if it is associated with kidney disease in cats. The costs associated with your pet's treatment will be the same as you would expect to pay normally and will be based upon the treatment plan discussed with your doctor. Your animal's participation in this study will not in any way affect his/her outcome.

LAPLACE, La. -- St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff's Office is investigating the murder of a man in LaPlace.
According to police, on April 22, at 8:39 p.m., St. John Sheriff's Office deputies were called to the intersection of Yorktowne Drive and Fairway Drive in LaPlace because of a report of a man shot.
Investigators spoke to residents in the area who stated that after hearing several gun shots, they came out of their homes to find the victim lying on the ground in front of a home.
One neighbor reported that the glass door of her residence was shattered by a bullet and the exterior of her house had several bullet holes.
Deputies found the victim, 17-year-old Calvin Edmond, unresponsive on the ground, with a gunshot wound in the back of his head.
Edmond was transported to River Parish Hospital and then transferred to University Hospital.

First-year coach Amy Macy knows the Edinburgh girls basketball team has a long road in front of them, but even in the aftermath of a 75-26 home loss Friday against Brown County, some promising signs were on display.
"The team never stopped playing hard, and that's the main thing I can ask," Macy said.
"Certainly, we have to keep working if we are going to improve, but the effort never stopped coming."

Welcome once again to Sunday Puzzle!
Tonight is a special occasion. This may be the last time that Sunday Puzzle posts on Sunday...
Pucklady and I have been talking about moving Sunday Puzzle to Friday to see if that might be more convenient for people. So far several people have indicated Friday might be better for them and no one has opposed the idea. So unless there's strong reaction against the idea tonight, then starting next weekend and continuing through the month of May, Sunday Puzzle will post on Friday nights.
We'll also be posting half an hour earlier -- 8:00 pm Eastern / 5:00 pm Pacific.
The first Friday night edition of Sunday Puzzle will be April 26. Then we'll have our first Friday night potluck puzzle party on May 3, and continue with May 10, May 17, May 24 and May 31.
If you have any friends who you think would enjoy taking part in our puzzle parties, please let them know about the new posting day and time. (And if, on a Friday evening, you happen to be in an open thread or Cheers and Jeers, feel free to mention that Sunday Puzzle is up.)
Also: I think the more people we have contributing puzzles the better. So if you enjoy creating puzzles and would like to guest-host some week, just let us know what week you'd like to do it and we'll set it up.
All right, enough chatter from me. On to tonight's puzzles. There's a new 24-clue JulieCrostic from me, a new Crypto-Gremlin -- and a bonus 21-clue JulieCrostic as an Earth Day gift from the gremlins. It's all waiting below the orange swirl...
Nothing fancy this week, just a nice straightforward JulieCrostic with a little bit of politics and culture mixed in.
As usual, the gremlins (a) bunched the clues in neat little bundles of 3, regardless of how many answers there actually are in a row; (b) removed all the capitalization; and (c) may have fiddled with the punctuation and/or word spacing. But with only 24 clues, they can't have done too much mischief...
1. half-assed
2. kind of bait
3. 43-year-old eunuch
4. defeat
5. love sound
6. social groups
7. okay
8. popular (but later controversial) Alex
9. 1930 english quin
10. tories
11. quarter pound
12. ratio of neighboring to long
13. joshua or judas
14. cap
15. deprived
16. little guy
17. 180
18. go faster than
19. something you might play at a party
20. cheap bank
21. unintended connections
22. dear name..................................................................................................................
23. unit of weight
24. what you might see on the road

Here's a passage from a book review I read recently.
I especially liked a quote from the book itself which appeared in the review: "It peal sit ztash from srgar. It peal sit prcash from srgah." But on its own that brief snippet would be too hard to decode -- so I've generously provided the entire paragraph of the review in which that line is quoted. Have fun decoding!
For those of you who aren't familiar with Crypto-Gremlins, these are a special kind of cryptogram which can't be solved by online code-cracking programs -- but can be solved by human reasoning and creativity. You can find a detailed explanation of how Crypto-Gremlins work here -- and you can find a useful tool for helping you experiment with letter substitutions here.

First person to solve this: To show you've cracked the code, locate and post a link to the site where this review appears.
Second person to solve this: To show you've cracked the code, identify the book which is being reviewed.
Third person to solve this: post the decoded passage.

Up for a little more puzzling? All right: here's a bonus JulieCrostic, courtesy of the gremlins!
As usual they've grouped the clues in tidy bundles of 3, regardless of the actual number of answers in the rows.
But this time they did not remove all the capital letters. Beware -- that does not mean you can rely on their capitalization! I counted 7 instances where a letter in a clue is the wrong case.
And don't think you can rely on their punctuation either! I think I counted 13 instances where a symbol or punctuation mark should be there but isn't. Those gremlins are evil sometimes.
But apart from that it's an easy puzzle. Have fun, and I'll see you in comments!
1. so-so times
2. underground leaderless direct action group
3. often associated with Rush
4. fantasy
5. confound
6. 60
7. racket
8. found on students in Kearney, Lincoln and Omaha
9. producer Scott or Nazi psychiatrist Ernst
11. comes before d in dictionary
12. Uncle Carroll
13. shake off
14. Batman, Zorro, and Dean Winchester
15. reddish-brown
16. before e it's a bill, after a it's unspecified
17. dark principle
18. small
19. the future is your power
20. ill will
21. nil fill

Charles behind massacres: Colombo
Ambush facilitated by tip-off
COLOMBO: Chief of the "Liberation Tigers Military Intelligence", self-styled Col. Charles (Shanmuganathan Ravishankar), was killed on Saturday evening in a "random claymore attack" by the Sri Lanka Army's Deep Penetration Unit in Pallamadu in Mannar, the pro-LTTE TamilNet said in a report.
The web site said that Col. Charles, who has been in charge of internal intelligence within the ranks of the LTTE ground forces and led an external operations corps as well as a regular combat force that has been deployed in Mannar district, was killed together with three LTTE "lieutenants" in the ambush while they were riding in a van between Iluppaikkadavai and Pallamadu at 3:10 p.m.
It said Col. Charles was on a mission to inspect his regular forces in Mannar.
"Col. Charles, who joined the LTTE as a full-time member in December 1985 was taken into its Intelligence Wing following his military performance in Jaffna district and later in Vanni during the LTTE-India war. He served in a key position in LTTE Intelligence Wing between 1991 and 2004, also as the head of LTTE Intelligence in Batticaloa-Amparai district between 1997 and 2000. He has commanded a number of key military operations", TamilNet said.
Confirming the news, the Sri Lanka Defence Ministry said that Charles was deputy to Pottu Amman, the chief of the LTTE's intelligence wing.
The Ministry said that the army unit had ambushed a vehicle carrying Charles and his companions. "The attack was carried out with accurate ground information received from LTTE-dominated Wanni region", it said.
The Ministry described Charles as the "man behind many massacres".
Rajapaksa aide quits
Jayantha Dhanapala, Senior Adviser to Sri Lanka President Mahinda Rajapaksa has resigned from his post. Though he has not made public the reasons for his resignation, it is believed that Mr. Dhanapala was not happy over the decision of the Rajapaksa regime to withdraw from the 2002 Cease Fire Agreement (CFA) with the LTTE.
"Mr. Dhanapala is fully conscious of the loopholes in the CFA as well as the fact that it has become irrelevant in recent months. Yet, at the same time, he is of the view that abrogation of CFA would further escalate tensions and violence", an aide close to Mr. Dhanpala told The Hindu.
Mr. Dhanapala, a veteran diplomat, was appointed as senior adviser by Mr. Rajapaksa a few days after he was sworn in President.
Mr. Dhanapalahad served as Senior Adviser in an honorary capacity.
