Charles Williams loves his small garden, and can almost taste the tomatoes that will soon grow on the young plants next to his back fence.
But he's at risk because a large section of the long abandoned house next door is falling towards his home.
"I like growing my vegetables," Charles grinned "See I grow mustard greens.. Are you worried it's going to fall on you? I know. I took the 4x4 and propped the wall up to keep it from going into my yard."

NEW ORLEANS -- New Orleans has been called a murder capital of the country with a murder rate more than 10 times the national average. But some now suggest the city's reporting in other categories of violent crime doesn't reflect what's happening in other city's with crime problems.
"You would almost have to argue that everyone in the city of New Orleans who sets out with the intention of murdering someone is always successful," said Sen. J.P. Morrell. "Every shooter is an excellent marksman because because they never hit a bystander."
In Detroit the ratio of aggravated assault to murder in 2011 was 28 to 1. In Atlanta the ratio was 40 to 1 and in Houston, 60 to 1.Over that same time period, according to the

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- Attempts to raise tuition at Louisiana's public colleges appear dead for the session, despite concerns about repeated rounds of budget cuts to schools.

A day earlier, a separate proposal by Shreveport Republican Rep. Thomas Carmody to remove the legislative approval requirement for college tuition hikes failed

NEW ORLEANS -- Superintendent Ronal Serpas and Mayor Mitch Landrieu welcomed the Police Department's first recruit class of the year Wednesday.
Twenty-nine cadets are making their way through their police academy, but some experts say it's like putting a finger in a hole a the dam.
“We're one of the first cities in America to add recruit classes and we're adding two this year,” said Mayor Mitch Landrieu.
In fact, Superintendent Serpas used the example of Louisiana State Police, as they haven’t held a recruit class since 2008. According to State Police Spokesman Captain Doug Cain, the State Police force was 1150 after that recruit
