At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To determine if the concentration of digoxin in your blood is at a therapeutic level or to detect toxic levels of the drug
When to Get Tested?
After the start of digoxin therapy and at regular intervals to ensure that drug levels are within therapeutic range (not too low or too high as to be toxic)
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
No special preparation is needed, but timing of sample collection is important. When having your blood drawn, tell the person taking your sample when you took your last dose of digoxin.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Digoxin is a drug used to treat heart failure and abnormal heart rhythms. Heart failure, including congestive heart failure (CHF), causes the heart to become less effective at circulating blood. As a result, blood backs up into the legs, hands, feet, lungs and liver, causing swelling, shortness of breath, and fatigue. This test measures the amount of digoxin in the blood.
Digoxin is prescribed to alleviate some symptoms of heart failure. It strengthens the contractions of the heart and helps it to pump blood more efficiently. Digoxin also helps control the heart rate and abnormal heart rhythms known as arrhythmias. It will not cure heart failure or arrhythmias, which are chronic conditions, but can help to manage the symptoms along with diet, exercise, and other medications.
Digoxin levels must be monitored because the drug has a narrow safety range. If the level in the blood is too low, symptoms may recur. If the level is too high, toxicity may occur. Digoxin dosage may be adjusted based on levels measured.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No special preparation is needed, but timing of sample collection is important and you may be instructed to have your blood drawn a specific number of hours after your last dose of digoxin. When having your blood drawn, tell the person taking your sample when you took your last dose. You may want to write down the exact time at which you took your dose and when the blood was drawn. This information will be useful if your health care provider has any questions about your levels.

It's Sunshine Week, the time every year when newspapers across American call attention to the importance of open meetings and public records laws in our free society.
These state and federal laws aren't for newspaper, TV and online reporters only. Everyone benefits from government openness, and transparency laws make it possible for you to know what goes on with your government.
These laws keep the public's business public. They bring accountability to government. They encourage honesty and discourage corruption.
Because of
Because of the state's public records law, you can find out who police arrest and on what charges. You can find out about the cleanliness of your favorite restaurant. You can research your family history through birth, marriage and death certificates, and through property transfer records.
The Freedom of Information Act ensures that you can secure reports and other documents from federal agencies.
Want to know if the FBI has a record on you? Make an FOI request and you will find out.
As we have written many times on this page, secrecy breeds mistrust and leads to speculation which too often is off-base and far worse that reality. Openness fosters trust and dissemination of the truth, leading to better understanding so that government and citizens are more apt to work in partnership for the good of a community, a state or a nation.
As we mark Sunshine Week this year, there's a dangerous assault on transparency and your right to know about your government.
In the
Doing so would be a horrible mistake. It would mean that government – law enforcement, for example – would gather information about citizens and keep it secret.
Why should you care?
Suppose you have a bad relationship with a hot-headed neighbor. Before you walk next door to approach him about a problem, would you want to know whether he owns a gun?
If your child goes to play at a friend's house, would you want to know whether someone in that house has a permit to own a gun?
What makes it OK for government to know where the guns are and not you?
Eliminating from public access the information that government gathers on citizens sets a dangerous precedent. Today the holders of gun permits. What will be kept secret from the public tomorrow? What other information will government gathers and keep from you?
In this country, the people ARE the government. Public access to information is the best way to limit government power and safeguard the freedoms enjoyed by Americans.
Throughout its 99-year history, the Sun Journal has fought for government openness both on this page and in the courtroom. During Sunshine Week, we encourage you to stay informed by attending government meetings, tapping into public information and supporting efforts to keep the public's business public.
The best government is an open government. Join the Sun Journal in keeping the sun shining on the public's business.

Consult the Civil Fee Schedule for the current cost to file for a name change. Use the fee for Initial Filing.
In the Civil Records office. If you have questions about name change records, visit the Civil Records page of this site.
Back to top of page
Submit an Application for Name Change with the Court. A hearing will be scheduled. You'll be expected to bring two witnesses to swear to your identity.
For more complete instructions and forms, visit the Name Change page of the State Judicial Branch Self-Help Center.
Not unless you make the request on your Marriage Application. If you do this, the Marriage Certificate will reflect the legal name change. If you didn't do this, you must file an Application for Name Change in Civil Court.
Yes. In addition to the petition, the applicant must submit the required notice to the prosecuting authority. Applicants still in prison must also fill out an Inmate Affidavit for Name Change. The court may deny your application due to your criminal record. Applicants in prison may petition only once.
The Name Change page of the State Judicial Branch Self-Help includes a special page entitled Laws, Rules & Resources on Name Change that addresses these special requirements.

Why Get Tested?
To determine whether an infant, an elderly person, or an immunocompromised person has respiratory syncytial virus (RSV); to help determine whether or not RSV season has started in your community
When to Get Tested?
When it is RSV season (late fall through early spring) and your doctor wants to determine whether your runny nose, congestion, coughing and/or difficulty breathing are due to RSV or to other causes
Sample Required?
Usually a nasal aspirate or nasal wash; occasionally a nasopharyngeal (NP) swab
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
RSV testing detects the presence of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in nasal secretions. RSV is a common viral respiratory infection that tends to be seasonal, causing community epidemics in young children, older adults, and in the immunocompromised. Outbreaks typically begin in November or December and disappear in early spring. In these high-risk groups, RSV can cause pneumonia and bronchiolitis.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), RSV is the most common cause of pneumonia and bronchiolitis in the U.S. in children under 1 year of age. Almost all children have been infected with the virus by the time they are 2 years old, but less than 2% of these infections are severe enough to require hospitalization. This small percentage still translates to about 75,000 to 125,000 hospitalized children each year, most of them under 6 months old. Their symptoms may include severe coughing, difficulty breathing, and high fevers.
RSV can also be an important cause of respiratory illness in the elderly and in those who are immunocompromised. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that globally there may be as many as 64 million cases of RSV infection each year and as many as 160,000 RSV-related deaths.
RSV testing detects virus that is being shed in the respiratory/nasal secretions of an infected person. Since detectable amounts of virus are usually only shed for the first few days of an infection, most testing must be done during this time period. There are several methods to test for the virus, but rapid RSV antigen testing is by far the most popular. Rapid RSV antigen tests are frequently performed on-site, in the doctor's office or the emergency room, with most results available within an hour. In some cases, the sample may be collected and sent to a laboratory for a more sensitive testing method. Results of these RSV tests are usually available the same day.
Occasionally, a doctor will order a viral culture (to grow the RSV virus) or a test to detect the virus's genetic material. These tests have the advantage of identifying not only the RSV virus but also other respiratory viruses that may be present. The main disadvantages of these tests are that they are not available in every laboratory and that the results take longer than the rapid RSV test. This makes them less clinically useful for evaluating an individual, but they can be useful for documenting that RSV or another virus, such as influenza, has reached a community and for identifying outbreaks in particular populations, such as a nursing home, school, or neighborhood.
How is the sample collected for testing?
Sample collection technique is critical in RSV testing. The best and most frequently used sample is a nasal aspirate or wash. A syringe is used to push a small amount of sterile saline into the nose, then gentle suction is applied (for the aspirate) or the resulting fluid is collected into a cup (for a wash).
Sometimes, a nasopharyngeal (NP) swab is used, although it is not preferred because of decreased virus quantity in the sample. The NP swab is collected by having a person tip their head back, then a Dacron swab (like a long Q-tip) is gently inserted into one of the nostrils until resistance is met (about 1 to 2 inches in), then rotated several times and withdrawn. This is not painful, but it may tickle a bit and cause the person's eyes to tear.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Township No. 7 Fire Department grew out of a community need in the James City area and beyond with planning in 1959 and its establishment with a building on donated land and its first $10,000 fire truck a year later.
Today, the department, headed by Chief Nick Armstrong, has 57 members, 11 pieces of firefighting and rescue equipment and a $350,000 annual budget. It covers populous areas that include the nearby river bridges, U.S. 70 East except for New Bern areas, Catfish Lake Road and the Brices Creek area several miles into Jones County.
It averages more than 450 calls each year.
On Sunday, the department invited the public to its annual open house, bringing out all of its trucks and equipment, along with appearances by New Bern Police K-9s, Craven County Sheriff's Department, the state Highway Patrol and rescue, hazmat, EMS and other special units from as far away as Williamston.
"It is a chance to educate the public on the capabilities of the local, state and federal agencies," said Armstrong, who was busy helping rescue vehicles park, while keeping an eye out for a visiting rescue helicopter.
He said the open house has become a tradition during October, which is Fire Prevention Month.
From the original building, on land donated by the Williams family, the department moved into its main firehouse on Old Cherry Point Road in 1987.
Today, the department also has two substations: one in the Brices Creek area and another in the Riverdale community.
Ed Weigl has been a member since the start and said he has held every job from chief to his current title as department treasurer.
"The men of the community saw a need for a fire department," he said, adding that fundraising was an immediate need more than 50 years ago. "It was awfully hard. We sold a lot of barbecue and did fundraising to get going. The Williams family donated land. They did a lot for this department and people donated blocks and other things and helped us get going."
He said the original $10,000 fire truck, fully equipped, would probably have a $300,000 price tag today.
Weigl remembered that when the first chief, Ruben Hart Jr., led the department, it had six sets of "turn-out" gear and the first six men who arrived at the station went to the fire. Today, every member has a complete safety suit and equipment, which cost upward of $3,000. An air pack adds another $5,000.
The department still relies on donations, although like most volunteer units these days, its main revenue source is a fire tax.
Weigl pointed out that the savings on fire insurance by property owners outweighs the fire tax they pay.

February 17, 2009
Charlotte, NC -- The Pfeiffer mens and womens swim teams participated in the Bluegrass Mountain Conference championship last week and broke 13 school records in the process. The Pfeiffer mens team came in 9th place, while the womens team finished out the meet in 15th place.
The 200 medley relay team was composed of Porter, junior Marc Kourie (Johannesburg, South Africa), sophomore Kevin Parks (Mesa, Arizona), and freshman Zach McMichael (Raleigh, NC). The team broke the school record with their 10th place finish and a time of 1:37.82. The same group swam the 400 medley relay in 3:34.13.
The 400 free relay team of Porter, Kourie, McMichael, and sophomore Edwin Torres (Miami, FL) finished the race in 3:13.21, almost three seconds faster than its ever been recorded for Pfeiffer before. The 800 free relay team of Torres, McMichael, Kourie, and sophomore Jeff Cannon (Lewis Center, OH) swam their race in 7:15.94 to best the previous school record by more than 16 seconds.
Along with marking three new records with his relay teams, Zach McMichael took home best marks for the 100 fly and 200 fly. He beat the old record for the 100 fly by almost three seconds with a 50.72 and finished in 5th place. McMichael beat the former 200 fly mark by close to nine seconds with a 1:54.67. Kevin Parks also tallied an additional record with a 2:15.02 in the 200 breast.
The womens team did not mark any new records, but still walked away with solid performances all week. The 200 medley relay team of freshman Amanda Shields (Severna Park, MD), senior Joy Prim (Yadkinville, NC), junior Brittany Byrum (Matthews, NC), and junior Nicole DiVaccaro (Woodstown, NJ) walked away with a 15th place finish and a total time of 2:09.07. Byrum also took two 21st place finished in the 200 fly (2:24:86) and 200 free (2:04.04).

The current trend in fitness is to "train your grandmother like you train your athletes." Although older adults can be trained using the same movements as athletes, incorporating a one-size-fits-all program could do more harm than good. In this recorded webinar, you'll discover flaws of this current trend and why the margin of error is far greater when training competitive athletes than when working with older adults. Learn the right way to work with grandmothers and grandfathers by finding a starting point and rate of progression that fits each client.

Cruising the Massachusetts Coast
I spent my summers by the sea. Always, a beach, a dock and a longing to be out in a boat followed me each successive summer as I joined family and friends at our family vacation home in Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard or later, the Jersey Shore.
My grandmother used to belong to the Chappaquiddick Beach Club, and one of the swell things about this club is the big dock that allowed members to come over to the club by small boat.
I sat on that dock for hours, watching with envy the Boston Whalers and other small motorcraft that zipped in and out, piloted by grinning young men or bikini-clad teen girls. Oh how I wanted to be in that driver's seat.
An evening activity we used to enjoy was to go out with the Edgartown Yacht Club launch as they picked up passengers in the big harbor at night. They would let us join them as they swooped over to wherever the call cawww cawww cawww came from.
Yachtsmen would signal the launch to come get them by making three blasts on their airhorns.
Fast Forward to 2009
Fast forward 35 years, and I'm waking up after spending the night on the bridge of a 42' Krogen trawler yacht owned by the friends of a friend. When my pal Jack asked me if I'd like to rendezvous with Denny and Laraine and spend a few days on their boat off the coast of Chappaquiddick, it didn't take me a second to say yes.
We debated the best way to get down to Martha's Vineyard from our Western Mass homes. Jack at first wanted to fly, but after checking the Cape Air schedule and fares, I decided that $214 roundtrip was a little steep.
We agreed to take the Vineyard Fast Ferry, that leaves during the summer from Quonset Point Rhode Island and takes a 90 minute cruise up the coast to the port of Oak Bluffs for about $84 each round trip.
The fast ferry carries 400 passengers and goes at quite a clip -- 42 miles an hour. The ride is smooth since the vessel rides above the waves, and in the back two giant jets stream water in a torrent.
It's a pleasant way to ride, and our course took us between the unpopulated Elizabeth Islands and Martha's Vineyard, around East and West Chop, and finally, right to the honky tonk town of Oak Bluffs, where the harbor is lined with people drinking at bars and full of pleasure boats of all descriptions.
We landed here and then jumped on one of Martha's Vineyards' reliable and ubiquitous public buses. Two bucks took us all the way over to the former whaling center Edgartown. Denny and Laraine like docking here, just off the coast of the smaller island of Chappaquiddick, or Chappy as it's known. Though docking fees are as high as $200 per night at the private docks in town, here, it's free to anchor and take the skiff into town.
We met the captain of the Isis, Denny Wade, and boarded his rubber skiff and rode out to the wooden trawler, anchored about 100 yards off the coast, to begin our days at sea.
Life at Sea
Denny and Laraine live an itinerant life, spending months at a time on this comfortable 42-foot three-level vessel, a boat that's built on the frame of a fishing craft with a reliable 700 horsepower diesel that does an economical yet steady eight miles per hour.
That's not fast but it's far less expensive than similar-sized vessels that consume dozens of gallons per hour when they cruise as higher speeds.
The couple had just returned from cruising down the Maine coast, and this unseasonably cold May was brutal. They had to wear sweaters and run their heaters, and they were still cold. Then came June when it rained every day except for three days, drenching them and causing mold to grow in the cabin. It was tough.
Laraine spent many years as a school principal; Denny works for himself in real estate, so the two have time to follow their passion, which is the sea. They love being out on the water, and love the life on their 'RV on the Sea.'
The water temps here in the Vineyard are extremely mild, about 70, though the air is not as warm.
We went ashore and rented bikes to cycle around the island, and popped over to Chappy to visit Mytoi the Japanese garden that's in the middle of the 5-mile long islet.
The garden has bridges spanning ponds, and small little 'bus stations' along the route explaining the fauna. Small fish swim in the pond next to a huge array of flowers and native plants and benches on which to sit and contemplate.
In Edgartown, there are two schools of thought about breakfast -- either go basic and local, or a little bit fancy. We stopped into the tiny Dock Street Coffee House for a basic lunch: sandwiches and ice coffee. It came with a sassy local waitress who told us 'no substitutions' and smiled.
Some of the yachts who were our neighbors for the night had dogs aboard. Denny and Laraine told us about what a pain it was once when they had a dog, having to take the dinghy in to relieve him every few hours. Seeing the many dogs dancing about decks out here made me wonder why owners wouldn't choose to leave their pets at home.
One thing we did experience was a desire to get out and walk or ride on solid ground. To satisfy this desire, we headed for Wheel Happy, a bikeshop located on North Water St. in Edgartown where we rented three hybrid bikes.
These people are always friendly and the bikes come equipped with bells, locks and maps. It cost $25 for a full day rental. We headed out Katama Road to a perfect little spot that I knew would be a good stop.
A boat like the Isis carries about 300 gallons of fresh water, enough said Denny, to take care of them for about three weeks. In most ports of call you can find a communal water spigot that boaters can use to refill their tanks.
Even though our destination, Oak Bluffs, was just around the bend, we sailed straight out toward the buoy and then headed due east to anchor just outside the funky town of OB, as locals like to call it. Boaters don't just scoot along the coast, they follow charts and navigation because it's all too easy to get stuck on rocks or in low water.
They'd be cruising through the Cape Cod Canal and over to Provincetown for that town's annual carnival. Later in September they'd pull the boat out of the water for the season.

Matrix Biolage Normalizing Shampoo
Out of Stock
Matrix Biolage Normalizing Shampoo contains special balancing agents that deeply cleanse the scalp without drying your hair, leaving your hair fresh and full of body.
Feb 9, 2012
Only Thing That Works!
I have super sensitive scalp and get allergic reactions to most shampoos.
My scalp gets red and itchy and dries out and flakes or becomes very oily and my hair looks dirty. Either way...a nightmare. I have suffered with this issue for years and finally found this product.
It is amazing! I have no burning..no flakes and nothing but clean, nice smelling shiny hair.
Wouldn't change to another brand for the world!

The Perfect Shampoo
I love this shampoo! I have oily hair and it's hard to find any shampoos out there anymore that battle an oily scalp. My hair stays fresh and full of body all day. Other shampoos would clean my hair initally, but by the end of the day, my hair was looking oily and limp. Biolage Normalizing Shampoo washes away styling buildup as well, keeping your hair soft and shiny, wash after wash. Biolage Normalizing Shampoo smells great too, like stepping out of a salon. I will continue to use this shampoo as long as it's on the market. I follow it up with Biolage Volumizing Conditioner to give my hair extra lift. Love it!

Just Average
This is a great shampoo for NORMAL hair. However,I have normal hair but an oily scalp, so it just doesn't work for me. My hair is clean, smells great, feels soft--even before conditioning, but i would have to wash my hair every day with this shampoo.

Not A Fan
I have fine, fragile hair, and this shampoo dries it out. It cleans it, but then my hair feels stripped (probably the sulfates) and brittle. In fact, all biolage shampoos have done this to my hair. Never again.Also, I think their products smell awful!

Great Product
I have a habit of playing with my hair throughout the day at work. I also have super straight hair so the more I play with it the "oilier" it would get. If I wanted to look fresh to go out after work, I always felt like I had to re-wash my hair. After using this product, I can literally wake up the next day and still have fresh looking, clean hair! I have bought it in bulk! I definitley recomend it for girls who have a habit of playing/touching thier hair. It works awesome!

bought this as my first light. compact and easy to mount . I use it on my helmet with another light on my bars. I also pack it for emergencies and it's small and light enough to just leave it in the pack.
I really like it because there's now wires, it solid and feels like its quality made and USB chargeable, so you don't have to mess with extra plugs.
Bright enough to ride trails, but would recommend getting the brighter one or using with another light.

Austria's Tyrolean alps provide the perfect location for any self catered ski holiday. They have everything – lots of snow, stunning views, glacier skiing, beginner friendly slopes, challenging slopes, rich culture, and fun apres-ski.
Most ski holidays to Tyrol will begin the same way, with stunning views as you land at Innsbruck airport situated between mountains. What happens next depends on your choice of ski resort – and the choice of resorts is large.
The largest skiing area in the Austrian Tyrol is Wilder Kaiser Brixental, which is also one of the largest ski resorts in the world. It contains several ski villages including Ellmau, Soll, Westendorf, Hopfgarten.
In 2009 and 2010 'SkiWelt' as the area is known, won an award for best ski area in the world, a title it may maintain in 2011.
There are over 270km of pistes to enjoy, of which 75% has snow-making equipment should natural snow conditions be poor. There are many lifts bringing skiers to the slopes, and many mountain restaurants, so the slopes are well provided for.
You can also enjoy floodlit night skiing, with 12km of slopes open for you to ski in the hours of darkness.
SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser – Brixental 2011/2012 ski season opens December 3rd 2011 and closes April 9th 2012.
Zillertal Arena is the ski area in the Zillertal Valley, and contains 166km of ski-able slopes split across 91 pistes. The Zillertal Arena is accessible from Zell, Gerlos, Ramsau and Hainzenberg, via 49 lifts.
The Zillertal Arena caters for all kinds of skiers, with 9 ski schools, lots of cross country skiing, 37 mountain huts and bars, a snow park, and 5 downhill racing slopes. There is also ice-skating and night time tobogganing.
The Zillertal Arena ski season runs from 3rd December 2011, with slopes opening around 8am most days, with some 7am opening times available later in the season.
Arlberg is a ski area in the Tyrol which comprises many well known towns, including St Anton, St Chistoph and Lech. Arlberg's 260km of pistes which connect very well with the towns. The towns all have a very strong Alpine feel as the Arlberg area has a lot of skiing history.
The Arlberg railway rungs through the resort, which means you can reach towns such as St Anton by train from Innsbruck – a truly enjoyable way to arrive for your ski holiday.
The Arlberg ski area opens on 2nd December 2011 and closes on 22 April 2012.

If Proposition 37 is approved by voters, it will:
- Require labeling on raw or processed food offered for sale to consumers if the food is made from plants or animals with genetic material changed in specified ways.
- Prohibit labeling or advertising such food as "natural."
- Exempt from this requirement foods that are "certified organic; unintentionally produced with genetically engineered material; made from animals fed or injected with genetically engineered material but not genetically engineered themselves; processed with or containing only small amounts of genetically engineered ingredients; administered for treatment of medical conditions; sold for immediate consumption such as in a restaurant; or alcoholic beverages."
James Wheaton, who filed the ballot language for the initiative, refers to it as "The California Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act."
Text of measure
Note: The original title given to Proposition 37 by election officials during the petition circulation stage was, "Genetically Engineered Foods. Mandatory Labeling. Initiative Statute."
The state's official voter guide includes two summaries for each statewide ballot measure. One summary, in bullet-point format, appears in the long-form description of each measure. A shorter form of the summary appears on the ballot label in the front of the voter guide, where there is a short description of each measure.
The long-form summary for Proposition 37 says:
The short-form (ballot label) summary for Proposition 37 says:
|"Requires labeling of food sold to consumers made from plants or animals with genetic material changed in specified ways. Prohibits marketing such food, or other processed food, as 'natural.' Provides exemptions."
Neither of the two summaries in the final voter guide is identical to the summary that was originally given to Proposition 37, when its sponsors sought a summary prior to circulating petitions to qualify the measure for the ballot. The summary that was given by election officials to Proposition 37 at that time said:
|"Requires labeling on raw or processed food offered for sale to consumers if made from plants or animals with genetic material changed in specified ways. Prohibits labeling or advertising such food as "natural." Exempts foods that are: certified organic; unintentionally produced with genetically engineered material; made from animals fed or injected with genetically engineered material but not genetically engineered themselves; processed with or containing only small amounts of genetically engineered ingredients; administered for treatment of medical conditions; sold for immediate consumption such as in a restaurant; or alcoholic beverages."
Fiscal impact
(This is a summary of the initiative's estimated "fiscal impact on state and local government" prepared by the California Legislative Analyst's Office and the Director of Finance.)
Note: The original fiscal note given to Proposition 37 by election officials during the petition circulation stage was, "Potential increase in state administrative costs of up to one million dollars annually to monitor compliance with the disclosure requirements specified in the measure. Unknown, but potentially significant, costs for the courts, the Attorney General, and district attorneys due to litigation resulting from possible violations to the provisions of this measure."

Arguments against
The arguments in opposition to Proposition 37 presented in the state's official voter guide include:
- "It's a deceptive, deeply flawed food labeling scheme that would add more government bureaucracy and taxpayer costs, create new frivolous lawsuits, and increase food costs by billions--without providing any health or safety benefits."
- "It's full of special interest exemptions."
- "It authorizes shakedown lawsuits."[7]

Editorial opinion
"Yes on 37"
- The Bay Area Reporter: "Prohibited in many countries (e.g. France), no one really knows the health risks of genetically engineered food. This is a transparency measure, which will allow the consumer to make an informed decision. It would be the first such measure of its kind in the United States."[10]
- The San Francisco Bay Guardian: "Prop. 37 doesn't seek regulations or limits in any way. It just mandates that GMO food be labeled — the way it is in at least 50 countries worldwide, including all of the European Union, China, Japan and Russia."[11]
"No on 37"
- The Contra Costa Times: "Proposition 37 purports to be a simple law that requires proper labeling to identify so-called genetically modified food. If that was all it did, we would be for it. Unfortunately, it does much more, and we think voters should send it back to its creators for some modification."[12]
- The Fresno Bee: "Under Prop. 37, no food that uses genetically engineered ingredients could be called natural. That seems to make certain sense. But it contains wording that could prohibit 'natural' labels on any food that that has been pressed or milled. That might include grain, which is milled, or olive oil, which is produced by pressing olives. Proponents say that wasn't their intent. But that's no guarantee against lawsuits."[13]
- The Long Beach Press Telegram: [14]
- The Los Angeles Daily News: "...once you get past the pleasing outside surface of this proposition (more information is good, right?), it reveals a rotten interior that pits the organic food industry against the non-organic food industry, includes special interest exemptions and sets up a system ripe for lawsuit abuse."[15]
- The Los Angeles Times: "Unfortunately, the initiative to require labeling of those ingredients is sloppily written. It contains language that, according to the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office, could be construed by the courts to imply that processed foods could not be labeled as 'natural' even if they weren't genetically engineered. Most of the burden for ensuring that foods are properly labeled would fall not on producers but on retailers, which would have to get written statements from their suppliers verifying that there were no bioengineered ingredients — a paperwork mandate that could make it hard for mom-and-pop groceries to stay in business. Enforcement would largely occur through lawsuits brought by members of the public who suspect grocers of selling unlabeled food, a messy and potentially expensive way to bring about compliance."[16]
- The Merced Sun-Star: "The initiative would grant authority over labeling to the California Department of Public Health, which already has plenty of work combating food-borne pathogens. For state government, the cost of the additional duty would be relatively small, but the initiative provides no funding to cover the additional work."[17]
- The Modesto Bee: " This flawed measure would set back the cause of labeling."[18]
- The Orange County Register: "Voters should be concerned that Prop. 37 would likely spawn waves of lawsuits, with the litigation and enforcement costs passed on to grocers and the consumers. The initiative's language invites abuse."[19]
- The Press-Enterprise: "Prop. 37 is the wrong approach to addressing the merits or dangers of genetically engineered food. Whatever its intent, this badly written, logically muddled initiative stands to do more mischief than good."[20]
- The Redding Record Searchlight: "But as written, Proposition 37 would create a fertile new field of litigation. Retailers would be mainly responsible for ensuring the proper labeling of the products they sell, overseen by the state Department of Public Health, but private lawyers and activists would have the power to sue over alleged violations and collect their costs and fees — even if nobody's suffered any damages. More work for creative plaintiff's lawyers and more hassles for businesses? That is not what California needs."[21]
- The Sacramento Bee: "Proposition 37 is a classic example of an initiative that shouldn't be on the ballot. It is an overreach, is ambiguous, and would open the way for countless lawsuits against retailers who sell food that might lack the proper labeling."[22]
- The San Bernardino Sun: "The most concerning aspect of Prop. 37 is its method of 'enforcement.' It allows every member of the public to become an enforcer, dropping lawsuits if they only suspect noncompliance but have no evidence...What a nightmare scenario for grocers small and large who, under the terms of the initiative, would have to keep reams of paperwork certifying that all the food they sell is properly labeled as to which might contain genetically modified organisms or not."[23]
- The San Diego Union-Tribune: "Should genetically modified food be labeled and face more thorough regulation? That is a completely valid question, one that should be the focus of congressional hearings and possible federal legislation. It is not, however, an issue that should be addressed via a weakly crafted state ballot proposition whose leading donor appears to stand to gain from its passage."[24]
- The San Francisco Chronicle: "Prop. 37 is fraught with vague and problematic provisions that could make it costly for consumers and a legal nightmare for those who grow, process or sell food."[25]
- The Santa Cruz Sentinel: "Citizens would be empowered to sue grocers they believe to be selling unlabeled GE foods, without needing to prove any damages. Clearly, this provision would create even more lawsuits. And who would this benefit? Lawyers."[27]
- The Ventura County Star: "Such a law would create mistrust and confusion about the foods that Californians eat."[28]
- The Victorville Daily Press: "Proposition 37 is, at bottom, another means of adding income to those lawyers — and they seem to be legion — who seek remuneration by bringing suit under what would otherwise be frivolous circumstances."[29]

- See also: List of ballot measure lawsuits in 2012
Supporters of Proposition 37 filed a lawsuit in Sacramento Superior Court on August 9, 2012. The lawsuit was successful. The purpose of the lawsuit was to force the California Secretary of State to revise the state's "impartial analysis" of Proposition 37 that appears in the state's official voter guide. The correction asked for by Proposition 37 supporters, and ordered by the court, amounts to the change of one word. Specifically, the court ordered that the word "some" replace the word "all" in this sentence: "Given the way the measure is written, there is a possibility that these restrictions would be interpreted by the courts to apply to some processed foods regardless of whether they are genetically engineered." (In the actual voter guide, the word some will not appear in underlined bold form.)[32]

So, which one's the better one?
So, which one's the better one?
Mozgov's is 5x better in my opinion. There's way more contact between him and DeRozan, he's actually a shot blocker unlike Singler, Mozgov has a good attempt at the block and DeRozan jumps from further out.
Mozgov is over seven feet tall. Demar's dunk on him for sure.
Verdict? Mozgov -- it's not even close.
Demar is a beast
The Baltic Beast is unstoppable!
Singler was very good though.
Two top ten dunks from the Raps this year? (Ross on Faried)
RIP Tom Sterner
Demar's dunk on Joakim is forgotten and underrated
Mozgov's was dunk of the year good.
For The Win
Mozgov...That was one of the greatest dunks in Raptors history. It's still the best dunk of maybe the whole history of the Raps since Carter was dunking on everybody in a Raptors jersey. It's just ridiculous.

This is a model of a K-series rocket built by American rocket pioneer Dr. Robert H. Goddard and used in non-flight, static tests during 1935-1936. At 10-inches in diameter, the motor for this rocket was considered large for its time. The average thrust was 450 pounds for 15 seconds. Once perfected, Goddard hoped to incorporate it into a large flight rocket, or L-series.
But in the tests, Goddard found that the efficiency of the motor was not as great as expected, and for flight rockets he would need to reduce the weight of components. The 10 inch motor was therefore only used for the first six rockets in the L-series that were carried out in 1936 although the L-series also proved disppainting and those that flew averaged only 200 feet. Donated to the Smithsonian by the model maker Mat Irvine in 1975.
