RAPIDES PARISH, La. (KALB News Channel 5) - On February 6, 2014, at approximately 12:30 a.m., deputies from the Tioga Sub-station responded to a medical emergency in reference to a possible gunshot victim in the 200 block of Washboard Road in Ball.
Upon arrival, Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office reported contact was made with the victim who had suffered a gunshot wound.

According to RPSO, deputies took Creekkiller into custody without incident.

"Before we dig too deep, let's make sure we understand what we're looking at. The regional rankings are compiled individually in each region by an NCAA-appointed subcommittee of coaches, ADs and conference commissioners. The subcommittee (regional advisory committee) meets weekly by teleconference to discuss the rankings long before Wednesday's first public release. Another set of rankings comes next Wednesday and a third set, while not publicly released, is used to help select the field after Week 11's games are in the books.
Each eight-member subcommitee has two members at the helm who make up part of the eight-person national committee that selects and seeds the playoff field of 32. That selection committee has a set of primary and secondary criteria that it follows to ensure that assembling of the field is based on more than just opinion.
The D3football.com Top 25 poll (and the coaches poll) is completely unrelated to these rankings and has no influence on playoff selection"

The #1 source for fashion inspiration from real people around the world.
HYPE the looks you like to make them hot —or post your own! learn more or sign up now!
I have a habit of running to a good pair of heels every time I wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Today was one of them. I was in no mood to attend classes after pulling off an all-nighter trying to finish school stuff. And on top of that, I was running scandalously late for class.I slipped into this pair of red jeans which I've had since freshmen year - back when I was way more plump than I am now (which explains why it looks odd, in a good way, for me at least). Meanwhile, I was a little apprehensive about wearing this polka dot top as I've always found it tough to find the perfect piece to match it with. But I guess this last-minute-ensemble didn't turn out that bad, did it?

I liked it cause mainly i really liked the weird thing that looked like snake and the animation was good,nice job.
Rated 3 / 5 stars May 1, 2008
It was well animated but the concept wasn't very funny, I'm not entirely sure what you were trying to do here.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars February 28, 2008
Wtf was that? Why was it 4.2Mb
Its just snake with no body hopping around and then the pain says "you ate one of ym bullet bees".
Graphics were good, there is basically no humor (might get a laugh or two from younger people (but they would also have to have finished a game that is intended for more mature people)), the sound was ok.
But if your going to parody something the usual intent is to make it funny.
Rated 1 / 5 stars November 20, 2007
but it just wasnt funny......at all.......serously.....

Fabrication and installation may in some cases happen simultaneously, for example a mural, or other work that is closely integrated into an architectural structure or surface.
In other cases the completed work or components of it might be fabricated elsewhere and transported to the site for construction/installation.
If the work is being fabricated elsewhere and is ready for delivery.
- Is there appropriate insurance cover in place for both transport and installation?
- Will the artist be solely or partly responsible for the installation or is it being subcontracted? If the work is being sub contracted remember to ensure that the contractor is CIS registered if necessary.
- Is everyone involved aware of the timetable for delivery and any necessary site preparations or contractors installation work?
- Is there an element of drying or curing time for foundations or surface finishings?
- Are the necessary services in place, such as electricity or water in connection with the installation or day-to-day operation of the piece?
- Will any testing or inspection be necessary to ensure the installation is complete?
Plan well ahead to ensure you have enough time to complete all the necessary stages of the installation by the target date and depending on the complexity of the project try to build in some contingency time to allow for unforeseen circumstances.

Nook's business have been challenged with the release of the latest iterations of the Kindle and iPad by Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL). To say that tablets and e-readers have completely changed the market dynamics of the traditional book retailing industry would be to engage in the height of understatement. Consolidation in the publishing industry has not just hit magazines and newspapers; Pearson Plc (NYSE: PSO) is launching a joint venture with Random House as well as acquiring Author Solutions, the world's leading self-publishing firm.
The Nook price reductions have come ahead of the holiday shopping season as the company prepares to launch its camera-less 7-inch Nook HD and 9-inch Nook HD+ tablets in the second week of November. The new Kindle paper white tablet was released in September, and is priced at $109; meanwhile, Amazon's basic Kindle tablet is now available for just $69, $30 less than B&N's lowest priced tablet Nook, Simpletouch.
B&N's business is divided into three segments: Retail, College, and Nook. The company has 689 retail bookstores and 667 college bookstores located across 50 states in shopping malls and university campuses. Amid the rise in usage of tablets and eBooks, it has been generally considered that B&N's retail operations are in ruins. However, the opposite of that is true.
The company continues to lose money on the Nook, but its retail operations are growing. For the first quarter of its fiscal year 2013, ending July 28, 2012, B&N reported a rise in revenues by 2.5% to $1.45 billion, which was driven primarily by the 2% increase in revenues of its retail division to $1.12 billion. Its EBITDA for retail increased by 88% over the same quarter a year ago to $75 million, but it ended up increasing its losses by 15% for College and 11% for Nook to a loss of $14 million and $57 million, respectively, which dragged the entire EBITDA down to just $4 million.
B&N has been able to earn gross profit consistently across all of its units, but the downward pressure on prices caused by increase in competition in the eBook arena has translated into losses. In the previous five quarters, B&N has been able to post profits only once, which translates into a loss per share (trailing twelve months) of $1.21.
Despite the company's poor financial performance, its stock is up 12.4% since January. Between the 11.6% stake taken by Jana Partners LLC, the growing use of Nook as a full service internet device, and better than expected revenues from its bricks and mortar operations, investors have been willing to buy the idea of a B&N turn around. In the past, Jana Partners has made significant successful changes in those companies it invested in, such as Marathon Petroleum and Mc-Graw-Hill, that significantly increases the business's value.
After that, on April 30 B&N announced a strategic partnership with Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and the two companies are jointly working to form a new subsidiary, Newco, which will be a combination of B&N's Nook and College business units. Microsoft is making an investment of $300 million in Nook media for a 17.6% stake in the business, and plans another $305 million in the next five years, which pushes the market cap of B&N to $1.7 billion (from the current $965 million). In Microsoft's opinion, B&N is clearly undervalued. In fact, its current share price of $16 is about half the value of its retailing and Nook division combined. Its projected revenues for the current fiscal year are more than eight times its market cap.
With Microsoft on its side, the money-losing Nook, which accounts for 27% of total eBook sales and is ahead of Amazon in terms of magazine subscriptions, looks to be justifying the investment through increased ebook sales. Moreover, there is a growing hostility at the retail level to Amazon and its Kindle. Target and Wal-Mart have both signed deals with B&N to use Nook to partner with for their eBook sales. Neither one is selling the Kindle anymore and are now actively promoting the Nook.
Turning to B&N's retail operations, which are already profitable, they are looking to completely dominate the American market after the demise of Borders. The company's CEO William Lynch reminded shareholders that the company now owns "64% of the total shelf space at bricks-and-mortar" book sellers, which while not a huge growth market will provide a strong cash flow position while its mobile and eBook strategies play out.
B&N is an interesting play at this point. The market is completely discounting practically all of its assets, while the Nook quietly presents the market with an e-reader that is a compelling choice. Strategy Analytics' latest report noted the strength of the tablet market, which saw Apple's share drop to just over 50%, and they noted in their press release a number of vendors, including Nook.
This holiday season will tell the tale on B&N's Nook strategy. The design choices may hold the Nook back from stronger sales with competition from the Nexus 7. Being unable to access the Google Play store is a mistake for B&N. While the Nook HD/HD+ look like brilliant purpose-built devices, they will likely not make a dent in the Google/Amazon juggernaut.

LANSING (WKZO) -- The state of Michigan is joining in a lawsuit against the Obama administration.
State Attorney General Bill Schuette is calling the federal mandate that religious employers provide insurance plans that cover contraception and abortion "unconstitutional." He has filed an amicus brief supporting the lawsuit filed by Michigan-based Weingartz Supply Company and Legatus, which is an organization of Catholic business owners.
Schuette says the mandate forces private sector companies to "violate their conscience."

Great Salt Lake • The men and women of the Great Salt Lake Yacht Club call themselves the "World's Saltiest Sailors," and a visit to their clubhouse at Great Salt Lake State Marina shows that they take their sailing seriously, if not their nickname.
The trophy case in the clubhouse, which is filled with hardware bearing names like the Governor's Plate, the Utah Trophy and the Founder's Cup, is proof that sailing on the Great Salt Lake is a sport, and a competitive one at that.
Hitting the water
» The Great Salt Lake Yacht Club was founded in 1877 by David Lazarus Davis. It is the third oldest yacht club west of the Mississippi River after the San Francisco and Santa Barbara Yacht clubs, according to yachtclub.com.
» Scoring for races is simple: one point is awarded for first place, two points for second place, etc. Points are added to a team's season score for not participating in a race, so participation is critical.
» There are races planned for every Wednesday evening at 6 p.m. through Sept. 3. Races also are planned for Aug. 10 and 31 as well as Sept. 1 and 28. The race schedule is available at gslyc.org.

But a visit to the marina on a Wednesday night during the summer also proves that these sailors put as much emphasis on the word "club" in their title as they do the word "yacht."
"It's an incredible community," said Bob Derby, co-owner of Red Stripe. "You have people from all classes — guys that can afford new boats every year and guys that can't afford a new sail."
"We like to have fun," said Randy Atkin, the other owner of Red Stripe, who became so smitten with sailing while on a trip to Maui 13 years ago that he came home and joined the GSLYC. "We try to be competitive, but we also come out here with our daughters to spend time with them."
Atkin and Derby raced Red Stripe last week as part of the Wednesday Night Trophy Series, which features races nearly every Wednesday from May 1 through Sept. 3.
There are other races throughout the year, including eight weekend regattas — two each in the spring, summer, fall and winter — as well as other trophy and cup races.
Boats compete in different fleets against other boats with similar capabilities. There also is a rating system, much like a golfer's handicap, so results are based as best as possible on the captain and crew members' ability to sail and not on the deficiency of a certain boat.
Atkin and Derby raced Red Stripe with their adult daughters as crew members last Wednesday, finishing in a good position to keep their third-place spot in the season rankings.
And while they were there to have a good time, they also were excited to scour the final results after the race, calculating how many points they would need to make up to catch the boats ahead of them in the standings.
"It gets pretty cutthroat," said Dave Shearer, the harbormaster at the Great Salt Lake State Marina and member of the GSLYC.
On this particular Wednesday night, Shearer and his crew, Ryan Schilder and Mike Bohannan, were acting as the committee boat — their anchored boat and a buoy marked the starting line and finish line, and they were responsible for recording the finishing times.
"It can get pretty serious," Schilder added while explaining that in close races, boats sometimes will be inches apart as they fight for position.
Twenty minutes after he described how intense the races can be, the boats Empty Space and Hard Drive crashed, which Shearer and Schilder said is very rare.
The race lasted less than an hour, with the boats sailing from west to east against the wind before circling a buoy and returning with the wind at their backs. Depending on the strength of the wind, sometimes the course will feature two loops around the buoy.
The club also holds endurance races that can last more than 24 hours, and the sailors insist that winning is important to them. But the GSLYC also is an excuse to have fun. They sail for a few hours then come back to shore and tell stories, laugh with friends and have a drink. It is a club in the truest sense of the term.
After last Wednesday's race, the boats' captains and crews gathered for more than an hour to socialize. Loud cheers went up as the winners for that night's races were revealed and received their trophies — wine glasses with the GSLYC logo.
Derby's insight into the different classes of sailors that are part of the club was on full display: While some sailors drank Budweiser and ate tortilla chips, others shared glasses of wine while passing around an assortment of cheeses.
The sailors of the GSLYC are diverse — they are young and old, male and female — but it is being on the water as well as the technical ability that is required to captain one of these boats that binds these sailors.
"When you sail out, you leave a trail of black karma behind you," Derby said. "It's relaxing, it's enjoyable. We sail all the time. We've sailed on New Year's Day. There's usually just one or two boats on hundreds of square miles of water."
As the gathering started to break up and sailors started heading home, the conversation among the remaining sailors turned toward the trophy case in the clubhouse and the prizes inside the case. The Founder's Cup, which is named for GLSYC founder David Lazarus Davis, who established the club May 10, 1877, along with the other trophies are awarded at an annual banquet, usually held at a downtown hotel ballroom.Next Page >

University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center loses about $400,000 every day it's not certified by Medicare to collect payments from the federal health care program.
The big question is how much that will ultimately cost the Towson hospital. Tens of millions of dollars could be at stake.
The University of Maryland Medical System voluntary gave up the Medicare certification when it bought St. Joseph from Denver-based Catholic Health Initiatives in a $206.3 million deal that closed in December. The medical system, looking for a clean break from troubles St. Joseph faced under the previous owners, chose instead to apply for a new certification.
But in December, St. Joseph failed an inspection by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, which oversees the health program, needed to get a new certification. It quickly addressed the problems and is awaiting results of a second survey conducted this month. But while it waits, St. Joseph remains unable to collect Medicare reimbursements.
Federal officials said St. Joseph won't be able to bill until it meets its requirements.
"The effective date of the hospital's participation in Medicare will be the date it submits an acceptable plan of correction, and that is the earliest date the hospital will be permitted to bill for services," the agency said in a statement this week.
St. Joseph believes it became eligible for payments as of Dec. 14, when it submitted a plan to the agency showing that it had corrected the issues identified in the December survey and was in compliance with federal guidelines.
St. Joseph officials have declined to discuss the case but revealed their position in a financial statement. The hospital reported that it lost $5.2 million in revenue in the two weeks it believes it was not Medicare-compliant.
The financial statement also for the first time detailed how much the University of Maryland spent to acquire the troubled medical center. The medical system took out a $220 million short-term loan to cover the acquisition's cost and working capital, the filing said. It hopes to refinance this year with a state-backed bond.
The financial burden of the merger, including the additional debt, has caused some concern among bond rating agencies, including Standard & Poor's, which downgraded the rating of the University of Maryland Medical System from A to A-.
S&P Director Stephen Infranco said his team wasn't overly concerned about the lack of Medicare certification and figured it would be a short-term problem. He expects things to eventually turn around.
"UMMS just got in there and probably hasn't gotten a chance to put their stamp on things and make the changes they see fit," Infranco said.
But the agencies were working off the University of Maryland's assumption about when it will be able to bill Medicare. In its report, Moody's noted that the hospital wasn't able to bill for Medicare for two weeks. Moody's maintained its A2 rating, but lowered its outlook from stable to negative. Fitch maintained its A rating.
Moody's analyst Beth Wexler said she believes the certification issue will be resolved and have little impact on the system's finances. "I think it is all built into their model and is short-term," she said.
The labor union that represents hospital workers is concerned. It worries that the University of Maryland isn't being forthcoming with the potential financial impact of not having Medicare certification.
"This apparent delayed disclosure around the loss of Medicare certification could harm patient care and put financial strain on the system, which gets [much] of its funding from public sources," said Vanessa Johnson, vice president of 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East. "The University of Maryland Medical System must be more transparent and accountable to the people of Maryland."
Losing Medicare revenue for even a few weeks adds further financial strain on the hospital as it attempts to rebuild. It is expected to take five years for St. Joseph to make a profit once again.
Medicare accounts for 41 percent of hospital revenue, on average, according to the American Hospital Association. It makes up 45 percent of St. Joseph's patient services revenue, according to the financial statement.
The certifications also have further ramifications. Medicare certification is a condition for participating in the Medicaid program. A spokeswoman with the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene said the agency is "reviewing applicable laws and regulations so we can apply them appropriately in this case." Doctors who work for the hospital, not those in private practice, also can't bill Medicare while the certification is in question.
The University of Maryland said it knew the risk it was taking by reapplying for certification.

Not Squares are not really known outside of their home of Northern Ireland, but their epic electro god-like sounds will certainly raise a few eyebrows further afield. 'Yeah Ok' is their debut album and they have released two singles previously. Signed to Ricther Collective, I think this album will certainly make some waves going into 2011.
'Release The Bees' which was the second single off of the album, kicks of proceedings with a haunting and dramatic entrance. With their blend of crashing drums and drippy synths, it is relentless and a perfect introduction to push you on through to the rest of 'Yeah Ok'. 'De Na Na' and 'In Front', are both short, direct and focus on the loudest beats possible and the band get knob twiddling like a child with a new toy. Never letting up, they become this "in your face" assault which I also found rather refreshing.
The first introduction I had to Not Squares was their free download single 'Asylum'. It is one of those "…of the year" moments as every time I hear this song, I get excited and want to jump around like lunatic. Asylum also displays the bands more organic approach into guitar sounds, with its mega math-rock like hook and snare heavy back line. Chants and two/three-part harmonies will also grab your attention and will have you on your feet in a flash. 'Nothing' continues where Asylum leads off and has this rather wonderful fuzz that builds up into a euphoric explosion. Driving bass and this funky house guitar riff, that weaves in and out of a coda of "Every night we don't do nothing", sublime and simply brilliant.
Another thing is the weird song titles and "Bi Kan Na" is no different. It's like the best bits of Does It Offend You, Yeah? and Late Of The Pier, with that concoction of live tribal like drumming and dance floor hysteria. It all ends in a storm of feedback on '53' as the guitars are out again and this time it's personal! What makes this album so special, is the bands understanding of mixing live instrument orientated chic with DJ/Sampling edge. It sounds fresh and keeps you in awe throughout, which can't be a bad thing.
The album is out now and can be previewed and bought via their Bandcamp page, so click on the link and check it out as I genuinely cannot speak highly enough of what they have done.
Just as a teaser, listen to Asylum right here…

No-frills Spirit Airlines hawking canned wine
Sometimes accused of serving its bottom line better than its passengers, the carrier has a new cost-saving venture.
Maybe it's the executives at Florida-based Spirit Airlines (SAVE) who need a drink or two. After all, the latest edition of Consumer Reports gave the carrier the lowest overall scores for any company ever rated by the magazine. Spirit also made Business Insider's list of the 20 Worst Airlines in the World.
Either way, the no-frills airline -- which has a hefty list of additional fees for almost everything brought on board or stowed away and a strict no-refund policy -- is making news with its latest passenger perk: wine in a can. The drinks are priced to move, at $7 for one can or $12 for two.
Spirit's public relations folks say the low-alcohol (6%) wine beverages served in aluminum cans and a variety of fruit flavors will bring "a fusion of European style and thinking to the States (while) encouraging Americans to think outside the bottle."
Fair enough, although many Europeans probably prefer their beloved beverage without a metallic finish. According to The Associated Press, Spirit prefers cans to bottles because they're easier to store on planes -- and relatively lighter, which also saves on fuel costs.
And it's the bottom line that appears to matter most to Spirit's top management. Investor's Business Daily reports that, since its 2011 IPO, the airline's shares have climbed steadily -- with 2013 first-quarter revenues up by nearly 23% compared to 2012.
"We're No. 1 in margin performance for our investors," Spirit CEO Ben Baldanza said last month during an interview on CBS This Morning. "We're growing faster than any other airline in the U.S., so we're employing more people. We're the lowest fare in the industry. So we're No. 1 in the things that matter most to our employees, our customers and our shareholders."
And as for serving wine in cans, "people adapt," Baldanza told AP. "Your choices at 30,000 feet are pretty limited."
we had a "company" that advertised on our local radio station 30 years ago called 'hiney wine.' it 'sold' it's fine sowega berry wine in 12, 16 & 24 ounce pop-top cans.
one of it's ads asked "how do you pull a prank on a polar bear?"
the answer was that you cut a hole in the ice, float a can of hiney wine in the water. when the bear comes to investigate, you kick it in the ice hole!
I don't drink or eat on the planes, I so I guess I don't care. But in general I avoid flying these days because of all the extra fees etc (just tired of paying several times related to the same flight) , and mostly because of the cattle car seating.
I am not against airlines making money, in fact I wish they would decrease seat counts by 10 %, and increase rates by 20 %. The companies could be profitable, employees make decent money, and reduce our flying around for marginal reasons. Parents....keep those kids off the flights, keep them home till they are older.

3 stocks that should amp up their dividends -- soon
Too much of these companies' cash is sitting on the sidelines.

With bond yields on the rise, a whole slew of dividend-paying companies are going to have to make some tough decisions if they hope to keep investors interested. A few of these companies are going to have to take some drastic action too -- by cranking up their payouts so their risk/reward ratios make sense.
Of course, while the reasons these organizations should up their dividend payout soon are solid, that doesn't necessarily mean they'll do so.
Investors shopping for yields -- and rising yields in particular -- might want to think long and hard before diving into any of these three stocks. All three would need to offer up some strong reassurances that better payouts are on the way:
In April, when Apple (AAPL) finally acquiesced to David Einhorn's wishes and upped its payout 15%, the market cheered. What the market didn't seem to recognize is that Apple's improved dividend was -- and is -- still just a pittance.
Oh, the dividend yield of 2.9% is actually better than the market average. However, the $3.05 it plans to give back to investors over the course of the coming 12 months is only 7% of what Apple is projected earn next fiscal year.
In Apple's defense, it also has cranked up its share-buyback program to a cap of $60 billion, which happens to be the biggest repurchase plan ever in the history of anything. Then again, with $39 billion in cash and short-term investments in addition to the $105 billion in longer-term investments it's carrying on the books, the funds for the buyback are simply something that should have been given back to AAPL owners long ago.
Western Union
It's admirable to see a company save some cash for a rainy day. Sometimes, however, there's not a lot of purpose in doing so.
Enter Western Union (WU), which reliably makes good money, but keeps a little too much of it.
It would be easy to assume the Western Union business model was a low-margin affair, leaving little room for dividends, let alone dividend growth. The money transfer business is surprisingly potent, though, with this company's operating margins approaching 25%, and net margins near 18%.
And to be fair, it gives a decent chunk of it back. In 2010, it paid out 25 cents in dividends from the $1.36 per share it earned (18%). In 2011, the dividend payout was 31 cents of the $1.84 the company earned per share (17%). And in 2012, Western Union's dividend reached 42 cents per share, or 25% of earnings of $1.69.
Were it a tech or a pharmaceutical company, those payout ratios wouldn't raise an eyebrow. For a cash cow like Western Union though, what could it possibly do with that hoard to actually grow the business? WU is sitting on a whopping $1.77 billion in cash, which is nearly 20% of the company's market cap.
American Express
Again, it's not a bad idea for a company to hold into some cash until it's clear the economy is on firm footing. We're there, though -- American Express (AXP) needs to loosen up on the purse strings. The current AXP dividend yield is a paltry 1.2%, but it's not like the charge card outfit can't afford to spread more of the wealth now.
Oh, it hasn't always been easy to pay its shareholders. In 2009, American Express paid out 72 cents in dividends, which was nearly half of the $1.54 per share it earned that year. In 2010, the company again paid a dividend of 72 cents, out of the $3.35 it earned. AXP maintained that 72-cent dividend in 2011, despite earning $4.09. The company finally upped its dividend in 2012, but only a measly 11% -- to 80 cents -- even though it booked a profit of $3.89.
Not that the economy is red-hot, but after four solid years of growth and/or reliable strength, it's pretty clear American Express is doing something right; the need for the safety net is gone. Credit card debt (for better or worse) is nearly at two-year highs, and just 16% below its July 2008 peak when everyone was acting as if cash was flowing like water out of their kitchen faucet. And, the current credit-usage trend might well get us back to those heyday levels within the foreseeable future.
As of this writing, James Brumley did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.
