One dead in alleged drug feud
Published: Monday, July 1, 2013 at 11:36 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 1, 2013 at 11:36 a.m.
A Houma man was shot and killed Saturday night in an argument over drugs, authorities said.
Dicarie James, 36, 6823 W. Main St., crashed his car after being shot in the 100 block of Williams Street in the Crozier community near Dularge, Terrebonne Parish sheriff's Capt. Dawn Foret said.
Neighbors told deputies patrolling the area that they heard gunshots and a car crash near Williams Street.
Deputies found the wrecked car and followed a trail of blood to James, who was lying in a yard and had multiple gunshot wounds, Foret said.
Before he lost consciousness, James allegedly told deputies that Matthew Allen, 19, of 204 Henderson St., Houma, shot him.
James was taken to Terrebonne General Medical Center, where he died at 1:04 a.m., Foret said.
Later that morning, authorities arrested Allen at a relative's home. He was booked into the Terrebonne Parish jail on a charge of second-degree murder, which, upon conviction, carries a mandatory life prison sentence. His bond had not been set by this morning.
Statements from witnesses suggest Allen shot James multiple times while the pair were inside James' parked car, according to the Sheriff's Office.
The shooting followed a disagreement over a drug deal, police said.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at 876-2500.

Finally a new spot for Amazing Grace, the opening spot! Not bad I suppose with lots of shushing, as usual. Ok, then a normal opener with a good Suzy. Trey flubs a little of the intro to a good Sparkle. Guelah was also good and tight. Divided Sky had a few spots, but was otherwise good. Esther was still a little spotty because they don't play it that much. Chalk Dust was rocking as usual. Mound was ok with a few off spots. Stash was really good tonight. Beast Boy Tubbs comes out for IDK's trombone solo and this one has some nice vocal interplay at the end. The intro of Antelope was a little off to my ears, but the jam was awesome. Mike teases his It's Ice bass line at the end. Decent first set with Stash and Antelope as highlights.
Second set begins with more timing problems on Rift. Fishman just plays so fast that the rest of the band doesn't lock in with him. The ending was also a little rough. FEFY was good with really good energy and conviction. Reba was also well played, nice solo section at the end. Mike's was really nice jam, but then somewhere in Hydrogen Mike inexplicably makes an awful noise. Broken string or speaker? I'm thinking speaker, because it sounds like Paul puts him up in the monitors to compensate making it harder for everyone to hear. This makes Weekapaug very dynamic as they keep quieting back down. The Wedge also suffered most likely from the same equipment problems. Poor Heart was played well. Mike was late on the vocals after the solo. Then the balls come out and Trey mentions about getting them up to the balcony, which it sounds like the crowd did. And the Ball Jam finally has a reasonably good ending. Not that it really matters. HYHU brings Fish back out for Love You, no, wait for it, BIKE instead. This is a long one as the show notes say that Fish was running around for a while. Fee was rough as Trey picked up the megaphone for the second verse and had problems with feedback throughout the song. Llama was a surprising closer, which of course rocked. Second set had its problems, but the highlights were FEFY, Reba and Llama for me, maybe Mike's too.
Great encores tonight with the dedication of Contact to Charlie the bus driver. This was reasonably well played and followed by a ripping Fire to send everyone out energized.
I'm going three stars for this one to bring down the average score because of the lackluster parts of the second set. Otherwise this is a good show.

Jennifer Aniston is an excellent pole dancer.
Of course this is news. It's incredibly important news.
Emma Roberts, who co-stars with Aniston in the upcoming comedy "We're the Millers," knows firsthand just how sexy the Friends actress' stripper moves are in the movie, according to E! News.
"She's really good," Roberts said, of Aniston's pole-dancing scenes. "I saw bits and pieces of it and she is amazing."
On a scale of 1 to 10? "(She's) like a 20," Roberts laughed. "It was unreal! She looks really hot."
Are tickets on sale yet?
The film's premise is a pot dealer (Jason Sudeikis) assembles a fake family in order to traffic drugs to Mexico. Aniston plays his stripper wife and Roberts is their pretend daughter.
"If I recall, no one actually smokes pot in the movie," Roberts said. "It's more the chaos that ensues on such a ridiculous adventure. Four people, pretending to be a family to smuggle across the border is pretty funny on its own, so the stuff that goes wrong is only funny."
And there's pole dancing, too.
Roberts said "I got to work with Jennifer Aniston, who's just the most amazing comedic actress, and Jason Sudeikis, who's obviously hilarious. They're funny of course but also just the sweetest people. And I think that's really important working with people for so long."
Right. And there's pole dancing.
JUSTIN BIEBER ANGERS BOXING FANS, ENTIRE COUNTRY: Justin Bieber has ticked off an entire nation.
According to Business Insider, politicians in the Philippines are threatening to ban the 18-year-old singer and notorious tough guy from entering their country, after Bieber ridiculed Filipino boxing star Manny Pacquiao's knockout loss to Juan Manuel Marquez earlier this month.
Bieber posted pictures on his public Instagram account of Pacquiao, 34, flat on his stomach after being knocked down by Marquez.
In one photograph, a photoshopped image of Disney character Simba leans over Pacquiao, with the caption, "Dad wake up." In another mock image, late singer Michael Jackson is pictured in his famous leaning pose from the Smooth Criminal video, mirroring the stance of Pacquiao just before hitting the floor of the boxing ring.
That's incredibly smart of him -- making fun of one of the most beloved athletes on the planet who, by the way, could turn him inside out.
Indignation over Bieber's insult reached the Philippines Congress, with seven lawmakers filing a resolution demanding an apology from the singer for the "distasteful comments ... lest he be declared persona non grata."
I'd like to point out that, should a declaration of war be issued, Bieber is from Canada.
"Mr. Bieber should have known that the Hon. Pacquiao has reached his stature as such as a result of sheer hard work, determination and firm belief in God, and despite such stature best exemplifies humility and grace even in defeat," the congressmen said.
They added that it was not only Pacquiao who Bieber insulted, but also the entire population.
Pacquiao released a statement saying he would pray for Bieber. He didn't say if the prayers would come before or after he puts his fist down Bieber's throat.
Bieber, whose legion of fans are known as "Beliebers" addressed the controversy on his Twitter account: "If they were Beliebers I know they wouldn't leave my side over (a) boxing opinion I have."
MILA KUNIS CALLED SLUR BY UKRAINIAN POLITICIAN: Mila Kunis was the target of an anti-Semitic slur.
Ukrainian politician Igor Miroshnichenko, reportedly referred to the actress as a "zhydovka"-- which translates to "dirty Jewess" -- in a recent Facebook post, according to E! Online.
Really? Everything is so hunky-dory in the Ukraine that their politicians are picking on women who star in movies about talking teddy bears?
The Simon Wiesenthal Center isn't happy. In a letter to Prime Minister Mykola Azarov, two rabbis from the center asked the country's leader to "speak out against the heinous anti-Semitic slur directed at Ukrainian-born actress Mila Kunis by MP Igor Miroshnichenko."
"Mila Kunis' family, like many thousands of other Ukrainian Jewish families, left the Ukraine in the first place because of anti-Semitism," the letter says. (Mila's family relocated to the United States when she was a young girl.)
Maybe Igor is just mad that a hot actress likes us better than them.
"Today she is a respected American actress, who is now owed an apology by the Ukraine. It is a tragedy that even after the Holocaust and the demise of the Soviet Union such hatred and anti-Semitism is still a force in the mainstream of your country."
The rabbis called upon the prime minister to "publicly condemn this attack and to take the measures to defeat the xenophobic forces that threaten your democracy."
E! News' request for comment from Kunis' reps were not immediately returned.
BEN AFFLECK DOESN'T DENY POLITICAL ASPIRATIONS: Ben Affleck didn't say no when asked if he might run for John Kerry's U.S. Senate seat if Kerry steps down to become Secretary of State.
In Washington, D.C,. to testify before Congress about the humanitarian crisis in the Congo, the "Argo" director and star was interviewed by Bob Schieffer on "Face the Nation." The show will air Sunday.
Schieffer asked Affleck if he'd ever go after a Senate seat.
"For one thing, the state of Massachusetts currently has two extraordinary senators, so there is no vacancy," Affleck replied..
"There could be," Schieffer pointed out.
"Well, one never knows," Affleck said. "I'm not one to get into conjecture. I have a great fondness and admiration for the political process in this country. It's a big deal for me to come down here and be on your show, but I'm not going to get into speculation about my political future."
I can't believe Schieffer didn't ask Affleck about J-Lo. And he calls himself a journalist.
"Right now," Affleck said, "I'm really happy being involved from the outside in government, advocating for the Congolese, taking this movie that I made, 'Argo,' that's really become a springboard for dialogue about our relationship with Iran, which, as Hillary Clinton said, is the most pressing foreign policy issue today, so, I got a lot on my plate."
"Argo" is nominated for two Screen Actors Guild Awards and five Golden Globes, including best director for Affleck. Many believe "Argo" will get serious consideration for a Best Picture Oscar as well.

PARKERSBURG - Students got real world experience as they are doing roofing work on a house being built for Habitat For Humanity.
More than a dozen individuals working as apprentices with a local roofers union did roofing at the 64th house being built by the Wood County Habitat Chapter.
The project is at 1333 Ridgeway Ave. in Parkersburg. The students were there all day Thursday and will be there all day today.

Dalton Warner does roof work Thursday on a house being built through Habitat For Humanity at 1333 Ridgeway Ave. in Parkersburg.
Habitat Executive Director Alvin Phillips said this kind of assistance benefits everyone involved.
"It is a huge help," he said. "This is difficult weather to get our regular volunteers up on the roof to do roof work. With these students, it gives them practical experience."
Construction supervisor Chad Ray said these guys helped the project tremendously.
"All construction is tough," he said. "Roofing is really tough. To be able to get professionals in provides a big boost to all the other volunteers."
In addition to getting practical work experience, the students get a better understanding of what Habitat is and what is being done, Ray said.
"Most people don't understand what Habitat is," he said. "Many think it is a handout, but that is not the case."
Houses are built in partnership with families who meet qualifying criteria, and are then sold to them with an interest-free mortgage and a manageable house payment. Families are expected to provide a minimum number of "sweat equity" hours toward their own houses and others.
Wood County Habitat built four houses in 2012 for 19 people, with the help of approximately 85 volunteers and 2,500 hours per house.
The students worked shoulder to shoulder with the homeowner and saw what this project is doing for someone who needs it.
"It inspired them to work harder," Ray said. "It boosts everyone's morale.
"These guys are training for a trade and they are using it to help the community. This experience adds a special dimension to what they are doing," Ray said.
Students from the union have helped on projects in the past, Phillips said.
Habitat has received help from students from the Washington County Career Center and Morgan County High School.
The students get valuable work experience in real-world conditions while Habitat gets more houses built.
"The most important thing is the families buying these homes gets them out of substandard housing quicker," Phillips said. "It is a win-win situation for everyone."

Mississippi Light Goose Conservation Order re-opened following the February 2-3 Youth Season, and steady numbers may provide excellent opportunities for the upcoming weekend.
"We do a late survey every year and we've spent a good amount of time in the field after that survey. There are a lot of geese here and they do seem to be hanging around," says Mississippi Migratory Game Bird Biologist, Houston Havens. "Whether or not they are geese coming up from the coast on their spring migration, or they are just arriving – that, we don't know. What we do know is that there are good numbers of geese in the North Delta."
Havens explains that light goose habitat improves this time of year due to farmers pulling the boards on flooded agricultural fields used for duck hunting. These fields, which are dry now, provide waste grains that remain in the fields. These fields are ideal for geese and hunters.
"The geese are searching out these muddy fields that have just been drained and these fields provide great habitat. Whether they are beans, corn, or rice," Havens says. "Winter wheat fields are ideal, depending on growth stage. Unfortunately, most winter wheat fields in the North Delta are further along in the growth stage than geese prefer."
While light goose numbers are high throughout the North Delta, the hunting can be tough. John Gordon, Avery Outdoors customer service specialist and avid goose hunter, hunts throughout the North Delta and agrees the numbers are up, but knows that doesn't necessarily translate into great hunting.
"This time of year, it seems that the birds get more difficult to pattern," Gordon says. "In mid-December the birds are constantly moving around, but this time of year they seem to find a spot and hold to it. I think a lot of this has to do with the fact that there aren't a lot of people hunting them."
Gordon explains that other hunters not moving the birds around can be a detriment, but that same lack of pressure may help if your decoys are in the right place. Geese in the area are not seeing multiple decoy spreads, so they can be susceptible to decoys and the electronic call.
"Wintering geese are much more difficult to hunt compared to birds on the move, heading north," Gordon says. "They are familiar with the area and many times know exactly where they are going."
Mississippi Department of Wildlife and Fisheries produced a Goose Concentrations map two weeks ago that still applies to this weekend. Havens and Gordon verified that these large flocks are still within the general areas on the map, and flock size may have increased.
Last year, Mississippi issued 464 LGCO permits with an extrapolated estimate of more than 6,200 light geese taken. Havens expects this number to be very similar or possibly higher due to the number of geese still around the state.
"Geese moved north much earlier last year and we have had several people calling and getting their permits this week," Havens says. "A lot of people see these huge flocks and think they are just going to go out and get shots, but it is much more difficult than that. It's possible to have good hunts right now though."

SAN FRANCISCO -- By the time the pilot of Asiana Airlines flight 214 realized there was something wrong with his landing approach Saturday, he was unknowingly seven seconds away from impact.
At that point, the flight crew realized they needed a lot more speed to reach their 137-knot target. Three seconds later, the "stick shaker" activated, warning them of an imminent plane stall.
A second-and-a-half later, they fully understood what was happening. They were going too low, too slow.
They requested a do-over at the landing. Another second-and-a-half later, it was all for naught.
The tail of the Boeing 777 jetliner slammed into the sea wall of San Francisco International Airport's runway 28L, shearing off the tail section, sending the plane into a turn and jettisoning two teenage girls traveling from China, who were the fatalities in a crash that injured dozens of passengers.
National Transportation Safety Board chairwoman Deborah Hersman offered this narrative during a Sunday press conference based on the preliminary examination of cockpit voice and flight recorders from the doomed flight.
Before the last-second request for a "go round," or second landing, Hersman said, there was no indication in the recordings that the aircraft was having any problems before it crashed Saturday.
With respect to the plane's targeted landing speed of 137 knots, it was traveling "significantly below" that as it approached the runway.
"We're not talking about a few knots" under, she said.
She added the voice recorder showed no discussion of any aircraft anomalies or concerns with approach until seconds before the plane crashed and caught fire.
When the pilot finally did try to pull up, the throttle and engine responded normally, according to the data examined by the NTSB.
Despite the preliminary findings hinting at pilot error, Hersman said no conclusions would be made in day of what is expected to be a months-long investigation.
"Everything's on the table right now," she said. "It's too early to rule anything out."

It's about that time for a new pair of running shoes, but I want to make sure I am purchasing a good quality shoe and a shoe that is right for my body and running style.
How do you choose a running shoe that is right for YOU?
What body/running style do you have and what shoe do you wear because of it?
Looking for any info!! Thanks.
I believe that if you are looking for a new pair of shoes for running it is important that you go to a store that specializes in running shoes. Most of these stores will have you get on a tread mill so that they can analyze your gait. This will help match you to the proper shoe for your individual running style.
As for my own running style, I'm a forefoot striker and this makes it hard for me to find decent shoes. Most runners land on their heels so almost all shoes are designed that style of running. All the wonderful technology that goes into creating things like motion control is useless for me because of how I land (this also make orthotics a waste of money for me). And since most runners don't strike on the forefoot, shoe companies have decided that this area of the shoe doesn't need to be reinforced so I sometimes burn through the front of the sole in less than month.
Most of what they'll try to sell you in a running shop will be a travesty. Modern running shoes are mostly too thick and rigid. Get the lightest, most flexible (both at the forefoot and midfoot) shoe you can find. Avoid any fancy stuff on the sole including medial posts. Racing shoes are good, for the most part. If you want a bit more cushioning, go to a discount store and get an entry level shoe.
Awesome. This is all great info. I'm planning on getting new shoes after Christmas to kick my work outs up for the New Year. Who doesn't love getting new running shoes? I know I do. I should probably start buying them more frequently. How often do you replace your running shoes?
Sara, I have to replace my running shoes at about 200 miles but most people can get 300-400 miles out of a decent pair. Also, I really have to disagree with rengle's post; most running shoes are not too thick or rigid and wearing light-weight racing shoes on a daily basis is going to lead to chronic muscle and joint pain for most runners who are logging any serious mileage.
I generally can get a couple of thousand miles out of a pair of shoes. But I buy them pretty frequently anyway. If they stopped making running shoes tomorrow I probably have enough stocked up to last for a coupe of decades. But that's because I run in racing shoes for the most part and am not looking to the shoe to provide cushioning. I do that myself with proper foot placement. I have a pair of Asics racing shoes that are not available outside of Japan that I've had for about two and a half years and must be at around the two thousand mile mark. I have no plans to stop using them. About a year and a half ago I did feel like I was really slamming into the ground when I ran in them so I put a Spenco inside. That did the trick and I can use them now until they fall apart. I generally run between 80 and 120 miles a week in racers and probably couldn't do half of that in most trainers.
I thought there was a good discussion going on at the old cool running message board about minimalist shoes. Are you guys just trying to make sponsors happy? Or have we gone back to shoe dark age again? Any plan getting the archive somewhere that we can get to the "original" threads at all????
Of course I'm not responding to Rengle--I'm glad your bright orange Sorties are working well! ;o)
I started this post December 3rd but will definitely check out the Cool Running discussion on it when it comes over. As for the shoes, sounds good to me. I am not putting serious mileage on my shoes, but hopefully that will change soon. Thank you for all your advice. This thread makes me want my new shoes NOW!!! I will hold off though at least for a week.
Any good info about minimalist shoes while we wait?
I have a medium frame and narrow feet with medium arches. I tend to have a normal pronation so I've found that a cushioning shoe works well for me. I went to a specialty shop and had them look at my feet and watch me walk to figure out what type of shoe I needed. I used an online shoe guide but misjudged my "wet foot" pattern to indicate I was a underpronater. Also, I looked for shoes that are more durable and can take longer mileages. I tend to replace mine after 400-500 miles. I've run in Asics Gels 1120's but currently run in Nike Air Pegasus which take the miles a little better.
Depending on your foot, running pattern, and body frame, you may be able to get away with lightweight racers or need something with extra cushioning or for stability or motion control.
Hope this helps,
I just saw a blog that summed up the best new running shoes for 2008, including racing flats AND cushioned/support motion control - the writer said he/she spoke to shoe buyers at run stores to see what they thought - it was at www.runflux.wordpress.com I think - I think there was a 'best shoes of all time' in there too, quite interesting!
I do agree that most 'specialst run stores' are preaching dogma - received wisdom - when for long term running happiness foot strength and good posture and a strong body are moer important than a quick fix from a midsole.
HAppy running!

Controversial in-home tests gain momentum in diagnosing sleep disorders
Published: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 10:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 10:15 a.m.
Nights are far from peaceful for Michael Messex. He snores. He stops breathing dozens of times each hour. And his wife says it's getting worse.
About sleep apnea
What is it? A common disorder in which a person experiences one or more breathing pauses or shallow breaths while sleeping. The most common type is obstructive sleep apnea, in which the airway collapses or becomes blocked. It can range from mild to severe.
Symptoms: Snoring, daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, memory or learning problems or not being able to concentrate, feeling irritable or depressed, waking up frequently to urinate, dry mouth or sore throat upon waking.
Dangers: Untreated sleep apnea can increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, obesity and diabetes; worsen heart failure; make irregular heartbeats more likely; and increase the chance of having work-related or driving accidents.
Causes: The throat muscles and tongue relax more than normal; the tongue and tonsils are large compared with the opening in the windpipe; the person is overweight.
Who's at risk? About half of people with sleep apnea are overweight. The condition is more likely among men than women and in older people than younger people — although children with enlarged tonsils are at risk.
Diagnosis: Physical exam, medical and family histories, home or in-lab sleep study.
Treatment: Lifestyle changes such as losing weight or quitting smoking; mouthpieces to adjust the lower jaw and tongue to help keep airways open; breathing devices such as the continuous positive airway pressure machine, which uses a mask and gently blows air into the throat; surgery to widen breathing passages.
Source: National Institutes of Health
A doctor warned Messex that he might have obstructive sleep apnea, a serious disorder that not only robs millions of Americans of restful sleep but raises their risk of heart disease and diabetes.
Diagnosing the disorder traditionally has meant having the patient spend the night in a sleep lab hooked up to monitors. But Messex was diagnosed at home — using a less-expensive test that's gaining ground across the nation, thanks largely to a push by insurance companies and mounting evidence of its effectiveness.
"You get to sleep in your own bed with your own pillow," said Dr. Laddie Tackett, medical director for Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Kentucky. "It makes testing more accessible. It makes it more affordable. It makes it more convenient."
But many doctors are skeptical. They say in-home tests — which make up a small percentage of overall sleep tests — aren't as thorough as lab testing. However, they are less than half the price — up to $400 for a home test, compared with as much as $1,300 in a hospital.
"We order some at-home tests. ... But unfortunately, a lot of that is driven by insurance. It's increasingly difficult to have studies done in the lab," said Dr. Subin Jain, a partner at Louisville Pulmonary Care and director of the Baptist Health Louisville Sleep Disorders Center. "The amount of data (from a home study) is significantly less than what you'd get in the lab."
And the stakes are high.
Obstructive sleep apnea — where the upper airway is obstructed, causing breathing to halt — is one of the most common sleep disorders, affecting up to 7 percent of adult men, up to 5 percent of adult women and similar percentages of children. Untreated sleep apnea is linked to problems as serious as heart attack and stroke.
"You don't want to walk around with untreated sleep apnea, because it wreaks havoc on your body," said Cheryl Holbrook, a sleep analyst at Baptist. "It's going to start breaking your body down little by little."
But it can be costly to diagnose and treat.
In 2010, Harvard Medical School researchers estimated that the annual cost of the condition nationally ranged from $65 billion to $165 billion, reflecting diagnosis, treatment and the impact on other diseases and motor vehicle accidents.
'Just as good'
Tackett said home equipment varies, but generally it measures things such as air flow, the effort people make during respiration and oxygen saturation. The kits are small and portable.
Patients place an air-flow sensor under their nose, put on a belt and attach a clip to their finger before going to sleep. During the night, data is recorded for analysis. Tackett said the equipment is relatively easy to use, and patients usually sleep well.
Home sleep tests cost about $200 to $400, Anthem officials said, compared with lab tests that can range from $600 in a free-standing sleep center to around $1,300 in a hospital. For patients with a co-pay of 20 percent, that could mean out-of-pocket costs of as little as $40 for home study compared with as much as $260 for lab tests.
"It certainly is less expensive, and a much better value for the member," Tackett said. "And when you look at health care costs across the country, that makes a difference to everyone."
Other home study proponents pointed out that it can be especially helpful for patients who live far from sleep centers or who are intimidated by laboratory settings.
Anthem officials estimate that home testing is likely appropriate for up to 80 percent of policyholders with suspected sleep apnea.
Doctors say it's useful for patients with a high probability of moderate to severe apnea, who have no other significant illnesses and who are not also suspected of having another sleep disorder.
"If obstructive sleep apnea is suspected ... the test can be just as good at home," Tackett said. "If you want to look for other things, such as narcolepsy or periodic limb movement, the lab test is appropriate."
Other experts echoed that viewpoint. A June 2012 study in the journal Sleep found that home testing was "not inferior in terms of acceptance, adherence, time to treatment and functional improvements."
Lab advantages
Still, skeptics say lab studies are the right choice for patients who have serious health problems or who may have another sleep disorder in addition to apnea.
Dr. David Hasselbacher, a physician with Chest Medicine Associates & Sleep Medicine Specialists associated with Norton Brownsboro Hospital, said lab studies offer much more information.
The equipment is extensive, including about 25 sensors on the head, legs and other areas of the body, two belts to monitor breathing and respiratory effort, and snoring microphones. It measures breathing and air flow, respiratory effort, heart rate, oxygen levels, brain waves, snoring and leg movements.
Holbrook said it can detect 80 types of sleep disorders.
Hasselbacher said it's a misconception that patients always sleep better at home.
"Frankly," he said, "a lot of people do sleep really well in the lab."
Doctors said another advantage is that medical staff monitor lab tests. Hasselbacher said patients get help attaching the equipment instead of having to hope they do it correctly themselves — which doesn't always happen.
Dr. David Hiestand, director of the sleep lab at University Hospital, said constant monitoring of lab tests also allows for equipment adjustments if, for example, sensor leads fall off during sleep.
Doctors said some patients who receive home studies still need lab tests, particularly before receiving CPAP machines, which gently blow air into the throat.
"I'm not saying home sleep studies don't have a role to play," Jain said. "But I think we're still working through the process of what their role is going to be."

I can tell you that's not how the people who were close to Eyedea feel about him, although the influence is obvious. Guess what? There is a Midwest style. Especially, more to say, a Twin Cities style. It's a real thing. Slug and Eyedea were figures to some of us, people that guided personal evolution and the evolution of the artform. I get that some people shit on that, but I've lived and participated in the Midwestern scene for the past 15 or so years and those are just real forces, I think for totally understandable reasons. It's probably especially true for this guy as he was a personal friend of Eyedea. I just had brief words with Moodie Black who is on tour with Dark Time Sunshine about just this exact thing the other night, he has a song that's pretty much about this phenomenon, and much wackness, to be sure, has come of it, but hey, some people liked Eyedea enough that his style influenced theirs. So shocking?
I think Sadistik is exciting. He's incisive. He can fucking write that shit, he has a gift for the crisp turn. (where Eyedea would sometimes meander). I was lucky enough to be exposed to leakage of this album and I've been amped about it and I bought it the first day it was out for the first time I've done that in god knows how many years. So agree to disagree.

It's interesting to me to see folks that I remember posting on forums and stuff in the early 00s doing stuff now. My path crosses with other people I knew from that era of indie rap and it's always just a kind a "wow" moment that we've all been doing it that fucking long.
Fake Four is awesome. Looking forward to actually sitting down with this album.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A tribal newspaper in Arizona is publishing a detailed voter guide for the first time ever. A New Mexico pueblo is sending kindergartners home with get-out-the-vote buttons for their parents. Tribes in Wisconsin are reaching out to young adults with a Rock the Vote event.
Native American communities nationwide are working hard to tap about 3 million Native American voters, hoping to turn around low voter participation that has persisted in Indian Country for decades. The push is being headed by the National Congress of American Indians, the largest group representing Native Americans, which calls low turnout a "civic emergency" — fueled by everything from language barriers and vast distances between polling places to high unemployment and poverty.
"As we look at why our vote is so important, our political activism really is aimed at making sure that we can address critical concerns in our communities," said NCAI Executive Director Jacqueline Johnson Pata.
The NCAI and its partners are focusing on 18 states with high Indian populations, and their efforts are not without challenge. The NCAI said in a recent report that voter ID laws could negatively affect participation this year in Native American and Alaska Native communities in 10 states — Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Washington.

December 05, 2012
There was some good news for businesses in George Osborne's Autumn Statement — against a backdrop of gloomy forecasts.
The headline announcements for businesses were:
Austerity measures have been extended to 2018 as Osborne admitted that he would be missing his own target for reducing the national debt. And he said the UK economy is now expected to shrink by a worse than expected 0.1% this year.
Despite the gloom, Osborne said Britain was "on the right track and turning back now would be a disaster". The OBR (Office for Budget Responsibility) has predicted growth of 1.2% next year and 2% in 2014.
In addition, new investment announcements in the Autumn Statement have been outlined by the Department for Business Innovation & Skills (BIS):
The Autumn Statement was broadly welcomed by John Walker, national chairman of the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB): "We welcome today's statement and we are encouraged by the Chancellors' acknowledgement that small businesses need more help. We accept that bold actions are needed to boost the economy and we hope we are on the right road to helping small firms. The Chancellor has listened to many of our members' concerns, and has put forward proposals to address these issues - notably around capital allowances, more encouragement for investors to place funding in small businesses, and cancelling the 3p rise in fuel duty. We now eagerly await further details on the small business bank which we have long seen playing a central role in opening up finance for small firms."

just read the article and watch the video.
I wonder if there's ever been a play in which more points were scored...
Thats crazy way to end the game. I would have been mad if my game ended like that.
The foul was ridiculous and clearly technicals should have been handed out, but to put a game on the freee throw line with that many shots is a bit absurd. No way should they have been able to overcome a doiuble-digit deficit in one play. Plus, their guy committed the original foul that caused the malay in the first place.
I think the refs juat called what they see. If there is 18 free throws to give out then so be it. Call the fouls/techs they see.
What a crazy ending. I am sure this story will be told for ages as i have never seen anything like that and Ive seen many high school games in my life.
Yeah i havent of anything like that ever. but i found this video of Lil Penny hitting a sick game winner.
Lil' Penny made a nice move there. Too bad he hasn't scored 17 points in his entire career let alone one play.
hahaha 1. That is some bum named Freddy playing in a rec league 2. This is where i get my inspiration
i hate to say it but i actually miss those commercials. he was so good back then
he was real good.
His handle was outstanding, and I didn't see any walks in that clip and in the NBA everyone walks.

Longboat Key home set to be auctioned Nov. 18
Published: Thursday, October 24, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 23, 2013 at 8:26 p.m.
The Bank of New York has hit former Countrywide sales manager Mary Pendarvis with a $1.5 million foreclosure judgment.
Pendarvis borrowed the money in June 2005 against a 2,917-square-foot house at 560 Outrigger Lane in Longboat Key.
She bought the house for $1.4 million in July 2004.
The property is scheduled to be sold at auction by the Sarasota County Clerk of Court on Nov. 18.
Pendarvis also defaulted on $457,000 from Deutsche Bank that she borrowed in August 2004 against a 2,310-square-foot house at 1856 Tulip Drive in Sarasota.
Pendarvis paid $365,000 for that house in October 2002.

Ok first of all i must say that PMS is the BEST app i've ever used in my life ,and i wanna thank all the ppl who made this happen.Great Job.
And here's my little issue:
The white interior of the subtitles (That happens only when i deselect the ass box,so i can change the default font settings)is a bit transparent which is kind of annoying especially when i watch movies with intense colors like red or green f.e. South Park (Bluray ofc).
If there's an option to increase the white intensity ,i would be glad if someone could tell me which one is it.
Thanks and keep up the good work PMS ROCKS!!!

New York is one of 28 states with a Farmland Protection Program that pays farmers to permanently protect their land from development, yet no new applications have been accepted in the program for fives years, according to American Farmland, the nation's largest organization for protecting farmland.
At a conference Wednesday in Albany, American Farmland President Andrew McElwaine, said Gov. Andrew Cuomo and state legislators agreed last year to allocate $13 million to the Farmland Protection Program from the state's Environmental Protection Fund. McElwaine urged Cuomo to restart New York's program by taking applications and allocating $25 million the Executive Budget Proposal to fund the program in the upcoming fiscal year.
According to McElwaine, Pennsylvania has invested $800 million in farmland preservation and permanently protected more than 480,000 acres of farmland – including $23 million in new funds this year. "We believe New York can do better," McElwaine stated.
"States like New York are on the progressive front of a national movement to embrace local farms, expand local food economies and stop the destructive loss of farmland to development. We hope that Governor Cuomo and State Legislators seize this opportunity to do their part to grow this movement," McElwaine stated.

WALNUT GROVE - A Lodi woman sustained major injuries and was arrested for driving under the influence following a vehicle collision that killed three people early Friday, the California Highway Patrol said.
Coleen Torres, 23, was driving north on Interstate 5 near Walnut Grove about 12:05 a.m. when she struck the back of a big-rig, authorities said. Torres then swerved into the southbound lanes and collided with a Volkswagen Beetle, sending the Beetle down an embankment. All three occupants of the Beetle, a 56-year-old man from Woodland, a 43-year-old woman from Woodland and a 53-year-old woman from Sacramento, were killed, officers said.
Torres' Cherokee was then struck by a big rig that was traveling south on Interstate 5, the CHP said. Torres was extricated from the vehicle and taken to a hospital for treatment. The driver of the big-rig suffered minor injuries.
Officers later arrested Torres on suspicion of driving under the influence and vehicular manslaughter, authorities said.

SAN MARTIN -- Ernie Els is at the Frys.com Open this year. So is the Claret Jug.
"That's the holy grail, man," said a beaming Els while sitting next to the spoils of his British Open win from July. "People have been searching for this their whole lives and don't get their hands on it, so I like to take it around.
"Winning this has taken a lot of weight off my shoulders. From where I was last year and where I am now -- I'm really looking forward to majors again."
Els won the Claret Jug once before in 2002 to capture his third career major. But nine years later he was still stuck on three majors, and he entered the 2011 Frys.com Open without a top 10 for the PGA Tour season.
"It's a really terrible feeling competing out here and knowing in the back of your mind that you don't really know if you can really handle it," Els said.
Els briefly grabbed a share of the lead during the final round of last year's Frys.com Open at CordeValle Golf Club in San Martin before ultimately tying for fourth. Still, it was his best finish of the season for the then-41-year-old, and it reaffirmed his belief that the belly putter he recently turned to could resurrect his game.
"I played well here last year, and that definitely gave me a bit of a boost going into this year," Els said. "I needed time in golf tournaments to see how this belly putter actually operates. You can hit as many putts as you want on the practice greens, but under pressure is when you find out where your game is."
Els' game withered under the pressure of qualifying for the Masters at the start of the 2012 season, as he kicked away a chance to win the Transitions Championship with two missed putts inside of 5 feet.
But Els got back on the horse and charged into contention again with top-five finishes at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Zurich Classic of New Orleans, and he was a back-nine contender at the U.S. Open on Sunday.
"That was my goal: to play a lot of golf and get myself into better positions on the weekends and see where my game is," Els said.
Then it happened.
Els closed 68-68 on the weekend at the British Open, sinking a clutch 15-foot birdie putt on his final hole to reach second place and 7 under for the championship. Els then watched as leader and close friend Adam Scott completed his painful four-bogey slide, missing a 10-footer on the last hole to fall one stroke shy of a playoff.
It meant Els once again was a major champion, 10 years after his last British Open title.
"I got quite fortunate, obviously," said Els, who at one point trailed by six strokes. "You could see that I did make some nice putts and played a really wonderful back nine. Unfortunately for Scotty he made some mistakes coming in.
"We've all make those mistakes. I've done that in the past. Definitely lost more majors than I've won, so that's the way it goes in golf sometimes."
Els closed out the PGA Tour year by qualifying for the Tour Championship last month, where he finished 27th in the 30-man field.
"At my age, to get my hands on the Claret Jug has been really a bonus to my career and definitely a boost for the next couple years," said Els, who has won $3,380,618 this year.
It appears that the only thing to slow down those next couple of years would be the ban of the belly putter, which is a decision that could come as soon as the end of this year.
"I do believe that it does help in certain circumstances," Els said. "It helps me with shorter putts. There are going to be complications coming. They'll have to look at it pretty carefully. We'll see. If they ban it, and I have to go back to a short putter, I'll work on that. I used to be a pretty good putter with the short putter."
