By Natural Factors45 Reviews
Expiration Date:?Dec 2017
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?1.08 lbs (0.49 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Pune: Pune Instagrammers, a group started on Instagram by two enthusiastic cousins from the city seems to have doubled in popularity in just three months.
After the success of their 1st installment of Instawalk, Pune Instagrammers are organising a second one on April 6. The destination venue for the second walk, Aga Khan Palace, was decided through a poll that was conducted on their Facebook page.
Umang Parmar, co-organiser of the walk, said, "The walk starts at 7 pm at Aqsa Masjid and then proceeds to Yerawada Bird Watching Point. Post that, at 8.30 am, the team will move towards Aga Khan Palace.
Participants would then upload the pictures on Instagram and tag them with a pre-decided hash tag. By evening, winners would be selected and they will get gifts from Kodak collections who are the official gift partners for the walk.
Baljeet Singh, who has registered for the walk, is excited to meet other Instagrammers. "I would love to meet like-minded people and get to know them by adding them on Instagram," he said.
Pune Instagrammers is now a group of photo enthusiasts who come together once a month. The first Instawalk commenced at Shaniwar Wada on March 1 and was attended by 35 people. Vishwesh Kugoankar, winner of the first walk, said, "Mumbai had seen such walks before but I really wanted the same to happen in Pune too. Looking forward to the second one"
This time, the number of registrations has reached over 100. Manali Parmar, who organised the first Instawalk, said, "This event is more planned than the first one. This is something that every photography enthusiast from Pune should attend."
Quick info
Start time: 7 am
End time: 11:30 am
Meeting point : Aqsa Masjid
Destination: Aga Khan Palace

What is an Instawalk
An Instawalk is when a group of people get together to explore a place, while documenting their experience with photos, using Instagram (a smartphone app). Everyone sees the world in a different way, and snapping a photo of something one likes is a simple but effective way of sharing what you value about the world around you. One of the great things about Instagram is the ability to tag your photos, and when everyone in the group uses the same tag, it creates a montage of photos that represent the collective experience.

BRAC News
The Base Realignment and Closure process is an exercise by the federal government to determine the best use of its military installations. This includes both the closure and realignment of assets in an effort to increase efficiency within the Defense Department.
BRAC traffic ... not that bad?
Monday - 5/23/2011, 7:44pm EDT
All the traffic news surrounding Base Realignment and Closure isn't bad. Many facilities are getting upgraded roads that should move commuters through more efficiently.
One example - not all of the 21,000 people expected to relocate to Fort Belvoir by September will flood to the base itself, says Col. John Strycula, the base garrison commander. They will be spread across four sites owned by the base and some may not go to a base at all.
Our sister station WTOP reports the roads around Fort Belvoir are also getting a facelift to make it easier for traffic to get in and out. Col. Strycula says that work wouldn't have happened without BRAC.

Following their killer show at LA's Key Club a couple of weeks back, we just wanted to pause for a moment to give a shout out and respect to Res and Talib Kweli's Idle Warship project.
Idle Warship obviously brings together the strengths of two hugely talented component parts, and yet the combination is much more than just a simple adding up of their skills and musical styles. Instead it is a totally new offering, stretching and enhancing each artist's admittedly stellar solo talents, a partnership that forges a new sound for each.
Blending hip-hop, soul, funk, rock and electro influences, and with dazzlingly catchy hooks and a story-telling, conceptual approach to the music, the result is at times astonishing. We'll always love their solo output, but welcome this duo as a real strong addition to their respective repertoires. And live they kill it. Of course our friends at Everybody's Rival, including Spintelect and KB iMean were on hand to capture the recent date at the Key Club. LA, where Kweli and Res blew the place apart. If you missed it this time, there is no excuse not to get onboard the warship next time around.

Calling the gangrape and murder of two girls in Badaun a "terrible" case and Uttar Pradesh government "insensitive", Women and Child Development (WCD) minister Maneka Gandhi on Monday said the Centre would set up Rape Crisis Centres in all districts of the state by year-end.
"Insensitive, they are. I say this government should go. But even if a new government comes, till the time we don't provide ample protection to women, what will it do?", Gandhi said when asked if she thought that recurrence of crimes against women in UP reflected insensitivity on the part of the state government.
She said the incident in Badaun is a "terrible, terrible case" which is symptomatic of what is happening all over the country. Gandhi said such incidents occurred because very few support services were available to women victims and added that her ministry had taken such crimes "very seriously".
"Even if there had been no Badaun, this was on my priority to establish functioning Rape Crisis Centres. These Centres would be serviced by policemen, lawyers, doctors....There would be ambulance and they will go hand in hand with a national helpline," she said.
The WCD minister said the government would set up and start at least one such centre in each of the districts and nearly Rs 500 crore could be allocated for the centres. She said the ministry had the funds to run such centres and more money from the 'Nirbhaya' fund could be considered. She said these Centres would start functioning by December.
Pointed out that many households do not have toilets and women were compelled to go out and on often became vulnerable to crimes against them, the minister replied that this was a priority area. "In fact, I am happy to dedicate all my MPLAD funds to the making of toilets," Gandhi said.
Asked if she would visit Badaun to which she replied in the negative. She said her intent was to get working so that such incidents do not happen.
"I will not go to Badaun because there is nothing I can achieve there right now. If I had gone immediately, I still would not have achieved very much. I would much rather use that time to put that institution into shape so that there are no more Badauns....I would rather use that time putting an institution in place and then go," Maneka said.
When pointed out that other leaders, including her cabinet colleagues were visiting Badaun, she said "she was happy" that they had gone and added that since the incident came to light she was working with officials on the scheme to establish Rape Crisis Centres. She said a nodal officer had been selected.
Maneka also said she did not think much purpose would be served if Badaun case is now handed over to CBI.
"Why would you want CBI take over the case? CBI has become a myth in the sense that everytime you want it to go to the Centre....Because of the Home ministry's intervention in this case and because of the media intervention and everybody's focus on it, the culprits have been caught. There's still one at large but will be caught. So the police work has started already, now if you give it to CBI, what will you give it to CBI for," she said adding that it is an "open-and-shut case." In response to another question, she said people in parts of the country lacked faith in the police and suggested changes are needed in the system.

What does Eric want from me?
Previous Entry

June 22nd 2009
Published: July 31st 2009
The minibus I catch to Bujumbura originates in Kigali, and I'm the only new boarder so I have the least comfortable seat available - and that's without taking into account the sizable lady next to me nor her luggage which is taking up all my legroom. However - and it's possible I dreamed this - the minibus also has aircon so I may be cramped but at least I'm cool.
The border with Burundi is reached in barely half an hour and immigration is a model of efficiency. I'm stamped out of Rwanda, stamped in to Burundi, and even have time to change all my Rwandan francs at a price little different to that on Yahoo Finance - all within 45 minutes.
Two hours later, after a hilly journey little different to those I took in Rwanda, from a crest we see Lake Tanganyika before us with Bujumbura, Burundi's capital, sprawled along its northeastern corner. We wind down from the heights and, on disembarking, it feels like the temperature has gone up ten degrees centigrade from Rwanda.
Burundi is similar to Rwanda in that it has a high population density. It also has a similar tribal mix, and
Lake Tanganyika and vegetation
Belgian colonial rule exploited and deepened Hutu-Tutsi divisions just as it did in Rwanda. The main difference is that the Tutsi have been in power for most of Burundi's post-colonial history. However the inevitable result of these tribal divisions is that the last few decades in Burundi have hardly been peaceful, with the early '70s seeing an anti-Hutu mini-genocide ("only" 200,000 killed) and another 100,000 going from both tribes combined in the mid-'90s. With there having been something of a lull in the fighting for over a year, I feel it's not a bad time to pass through.
It appears that Burundians share at least one trait with their Rwandan neighbours, namely an inability to give directions. I pop into a cafe and ask a waitress to show me where we are on the WLP map. I helpfully indicate the stadium and main market, which elicits "Ah!"s of recognition, but she is incapable of pointing out our location. The entire staff of the cafe comes over to assist but no-one can help me. I then try asking for directions to my intended accommodation and am told it is closed. A waiter then offers to show me to another budget
place, a kind offer that I reluctantly accept. I much prefer plodding around on my own as it helps me to orient myself, plus travel has sadly made me suspicious of anyone giving up their time - especially work time - to help.
The waiter's name is Eric, and his English is about as "good" as my French. He leads me to a place that supposedly has rooms from BIF8,000 (=~$7), but these cheapies have been taken by other guests and only BIF30,000 rooms are left. The next option is a ten minute walk away, and the woman says they have BIF25,000 rooms available, however when she actually checks the guest list it appears that they're full. With visions of this being another Rwandaesquely expensive experience, and already fed up with trudging around in the heat with my backpack, I decide to take the room at the first place. Except it turns out that, when they consult their guest list, they're full too. The manager suggests a nearby alternative, which is one I've read about on the web as not being great value for money. Though the reception girl has too much attitude and commits the massively irritating sin
of switching to English when I ask her to repeat something in French, the room is good and the fact that it only has a cold shower is not a problem in these temperatures. Plus the manager turns out to be extremely helpful, though he morphs my name from John to Johnson over the course of my stay, presumably unintentionally.
I'm desperately in need of a shower but I feel I owe Eric a drink so we hit a nearby cafe. He says he really wants to spend more time with me so I agree to visit the lake with him the following afternoon.
I have a quick wander around the city centre noticing one enormous difference from Rwanda - people don't really give a damn about my presence. Even the map vendors show zero persistence. I'm not surprised to see an Obama shop but, disappointingly, Burotica turns out to be an office furniture store. Prices of goods are a little lower than Rwanda, though DC is still through the roof. Once darkness falls, the mossie hordes descend and I'm bitten with a voracity that reminds me that I'm back in steamy climes.
My intended transport out
Eric at Saga Beach
of here, two days hence and thus right on the limit of my three-day transit visa, is unfortunately fully booked, which poses a dilemma for me. Do I purchase a visa extension or throw myself on the mercy of the border officials when I overstay? The hotel manager advises that obtaining an extension is both quick and cheap - sadly, only one of these adjectives turns out to be correct.
I submit my application first thing the next morning. The officials are as friendly as their counterparts at the border, and I'm told to return at 2PM to pick up the extension.
2PM sees the immigration office still closed for its lunch break. The doors open at 2:15PM but the required officials don't appear until 2:30PM. The guy I'd dealt with in the morning seems to have forgotten me, though I'm the only white person who'd been there, and he looks surprised when I say I've already applied. He hunts through some heaps of processed applications and mine isn't among them. He tells me to wait.
Just behind me in the "queue" is an Irish guy submitting similar visa extension applications to mine, though in his case
it's for him and a number of NGO co-workers over from DRC for a few days. He has less patience than I do with the process and, after an hour of waiting, he hassles the guy about this and his passports suddenly appear, fully processed. This seems more than a little unfair to me, so I also approach the guy. He looks surprised that I'm still waiting, asks me how long an extension I wanted, and I take from this that my application has not progressed since I handed it in six hours previously.
Another hour goes by. There are now several other whities pacing the floor, waiting. One of them, a French chap, tells me that it's much better to simply pay the overstay fine at the border instead of applying for the extension - the cost difference is negligible and you don't waste time in the way that I'm doing. I approach the immigration officer again and complain mildly at the length of my wait, as well as the fact that the Irish guy had apparently leap-frogged my application. This is clearly the wrong tactic, as his smile drops and I get an earful of French whose
content I don't understand but whose tone definitely suggests that any criticism of the efficiency of his department will not be tolerated. Twenty minutes later, with the staff packing up in anticipation of closing time, I - one of the earliest applicants of the day - am the second last applicant to receive their visa. The final insult is that this five-day extension takes up an entire page of my passport.
This whole episode means that I'm already well over an hour late for my rendezvous with Eric, but he's still there waiting. I apologise and explain what had happened but he's not angry. We start walking towards Lake Tanganyika.
I learn that Eric is 25 and is currently earning BIF50,000 (=$45) per month for working 6 days per week, 7AM-3PM, in the cafe. His wish is to study music at university, but with university fees running at BIF200,000 per month, that isn't going to happen any time soon. Long term, he'd like to move to NYC and try to emulate his hero, Akon.
The place where we hit the shores of Lake Tanganyika is no great shakes, though the lake is clearly vast (in fact the
longest freshwater lake in the world, and the second deepest after Baikal). I'm hoping we'll find a cafe here but Eric says there is nothing much nearby. Then, pointing at a group of men clustered under a tree near the water's edge, he says it's not that safe around here due to the crowds of druggies. The WLP has mentioned Saga (pronounced Sagga) beach as the best in the region so I suggest we go there. Eric's face brightens, and he says that will be much better. After some initial problems finding a cab (my mzunguness doubles the price for the first guy we speak to), we hop in one and speed off.
Saga Beach has the appearance of a venue for a sedate spring break, with plenty of young people standing around chatting or lounging on the sand, but with no bared breasts or mouth-mixed cocktails in evidence. Various booths are dispensing drinks but Eric suggests we head to a restaurant shaped like a boat at the water's edge. A stiff onshore breeze is whipping up the waves and keeping all but a hardy few out of the lake. Drinks prices are ridiculous, with a soda costing more
than a beer at my (by no means cheap) hotel. A man walks by with a Bob Marley banner. A sound system starts up, causing an outbreak of dancing, but we only catch the music when there's a lull in the wind. A scan of the beach suggests that I'm the only
there, as well as the only person over 25.
The afternoon proves to be quite confusing. I'd assumed that Eric wanted to practice his English, but it's me that ends up driving the conversation. My second guess at motive (how jaded I am ...) was that he wanted to ask for money but he doesn't do that either. So I'm unclear as to why he wanted to spend time with me, a situation all too familiar with every girl I've ever dated. Once he starts texting on his cell phone, I decide that I no longer care about his motives and am more concerned about my own time being wasted, so I say I'm going back to the hotel. We flag down a cab, and Eric then asks if I mind if two of his friends come back with us - they'll apparently pay BIF2,000 of
Independence monument
Place de l'Independance
the BIF5,000 fare. One friend says hello, the other totally ignores me. Back in town, I receive neither money nor a word of thanks. There's nowt as queer as folk.
The WLP raves about Buj nightlife but also warns about how dangerous the city can be after dark, so I ask for some local advice. Eric has told me it's not safe for white people to be on the streets at night. The hotel manager tells me it's perfectly safe at all hours. It's hard to draw a consensus from these two extremes, however my enquiries about where best to go out soon settle this for me. The reception girl tells me that I won't find anywhere playing music before 3AM. For me, a night out without music is not a night out, especially when I have no friends to go with, and having to wait until 3AM for music is not acceptable. I hit one of the recommended Friday night places, and it's totally dead until at least 10PM when I go home. Buj nightlife is not going to be graced by my presence. However there are more smokers here than I think I've seen since Egypt so
that definitely lessens the appeal.
Visa and money issues mean that my glimpse of Burundi is limited to just a sliver of Bujumbura but it would appear that the country is quite different to its northern neighbour Rwanda. Perhaps in the future I'll get an opportunity to return here to give it a more extensive visit. However now it's time to return to an anglophone region.
Dull but possibly useful info
i. Belvedere is supposedly the best bus to Bujumbura - their buses originate in Kigali and pass through Butare/Huye at about 9:30AM. You can book a seat from Butare/Huye at their office, which is next to that of New Yahoo (just north of the Ibis Hotel on the other side of the road). The bus has aircon, costs RWF6,000 (i.e. you pay the same fare as if you were coming from Kigali ...). It takes 35 minutes to get to the border with Burundi, maybe 45 minutes for the border formalities, then about 2.5 hours to get to Buj.
ii. It's a nice and easy border crossing. A 3-day transit visa is the only option available at the border and costs $20 - the staff speak no

Saga Residence
English but are friendly and appear used to foreign travellers.
iii. The FX booths at the border give an excellent rate without the need for any haggling.
iv. The Belvedere stop in Buj is just north of the city centre on Chaussee du Peuple, so head south and you'll soon see the Face a Face Internet cafe, hence can orientate yourself on the WLP map.
v. I stayed at the Saga Residence, paying $25 for a large double room (probably the most attractive I've stayed in on this trip) with en suite and a TV but no fan or AC. There was only cold water but, in the steamy air of Buj, that was just the ticket. The manager Jean-Claude is very eager to please. There's also free Internet access but there's only one machine so be prepared to wait. The food is good but a tad pricey and the service is superslow.
vi. Hotel Le Doyen appears to be closed. There's a place next to Patisserie Trianon on Avenue du Commerce (go through the arch above which is written Ceprodilic) with rooms apparently starting from BIF8,000 - they were completely full. You could also try the Pacific Hotel (on
Picture detail
Saga Residence
Avenue de Euphorbes, I think), charging BIF25,000 - they were also completely full.
vii. If you are going to overstay your transit visa, don't waste your time/passport page getting an extension. Instead, simply pay the BIF15,000 overstay fine (assuming you overstay less than 15 days) at the border when you leave. If you really want to get the extension, though, you'll need a photocopy of the information page of your passport, a photocopy of the entry stamp page of your passport, one passport photo, $10 (for a 5 day extension), and a spare page in your passport.
viii. A taxi to or from Saga Beach from or to the centre of town costs BIF5,000.
ix. You can get a cash advance from the Banque de Credit de Bujumbura - go to the Western Union section on the left and there's a flirty English-speaking woman to assist. I've no idea of the fees, but I didn't need to use my PIN.
x. Tourist Information is now on Boulevard de l'Uprona, a couple of hundred metres from the junction with Chaussee du Peuple.
xi. None of the FX bureaux have Tanzanian shillings, but apparently people in the market do.

Shooter is a retro vertical shooter featuring an alien invasion
Since Space Invaders thousands of vertical shooters (shoot'em up) have come up with different theme by keeping its gameplay essence. This was a genre that seemed buried forever in the early 90's. However, touchscreen, multi-touch and all that technology built-in in our Android device has made them re-raise.
Shooter isn't an exception: an alien invasion which war is happening in the air. You embody a human pilot steering a combat aircraft. Your goal is to kill all the enemies, including final bosses in each level. On your way you'll find weapons and power-ups (shields, bombs, boosters) that will help you avoid the aliens conquering the Earth.
There are two game modes: Evolution, which is the campaign mode, with final bosses and different environments and, Survival, which is, obviously, an endless mode in which the purpose is to last as long as you can.
The game is set in retro graphics that remind old good times. No complaints: it feels better this way. The gameplay is simple, so do the scenery. That's how it must be.Developer's original description available here
Shooter is the latest Magma Mobile Arcade game inspired by the famous old-school manic shooters.
This Shoot 'em up (shmup or STG) will immerse you in a space environment aboard an aircraft where your goal is to shoot waves of enemies!
This "bullet hell" game (also called danmaku) is easy-to-handle but hard to master!

Then, if you are an incredible player you will be able to unlock the Survival mode and numerous achievements!

Patients pour out complaints to visiting team of health officials
Nearly 250 patients wait at the out-patient block for appointment
Patients complain about poor quality of food, hours of waiting, etc.
HYDERABAD: Implementation of Arogyasri scheme at Nizams Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) has come under the scanner when a team of district health officials, who visited the hospital on Saturday, had to confront a slew of complaints on several issues from irate patients.
The team led by Hyderabad Collector Naveen Mittal and District Medical and Health Officer (DM&HO) Dr. Ch. Jaya Kumari was swamped with patients' grievances.
They complained about the inferior quality of food, non- availability of doctors, long queues and hours of waiting.
The district authorities had reportedly asked NIMS management to rectify the problems or face the 'axe' from the Arogyasri eligibility scheme, officials informed.
At the hospital out-patient block, since Saturday morning nearly 250 patients were waiting in the sultry sun for their appointment with the doctors, visiting team of officials said.
No cooperation
Some patients even alleged that the NIMS authorities were asking for payment and Arogyamithra volunteers, who were supposed to facilitate the procedures, were not cooperative.
Angry patients, a majority of them from the districts, complained of the absence of 'humane touch' and pointed out that NIMS hospital was not providing them with enough basic facilities. They also complained that the management was not properly disbursing information on the scheme.
Long wait
"The situation was quite contrasting when we visited two more corporate hospitals, where patients at least had a place to sit and wait for appointment," officials said. Authorities informed that the system of implementation of Arogyasri scheme at NIMS has to be streamlined to be more effective and patient-friendly.

About 50 Maharashtra Navnirman Sena workers came together on Friday to put up stalls outside municipal commissioner Sitaram Kunte's official residence at Pedder Road, to protest against the alleged irregularities carried out by civic officials in the form of distribution process of registering hawkers in the city.
However, by afternoon they were picked up by police officials from Gamdevi police station and later released.
MNS group leader Sandeep Deshpande, said, "We had set up stalls for selling vada pao and undergarments. If the civic body allows hawking everywhere in the city, then why not outside the top civic official's home?"
"The entire form distribution process is filled with corruption and the civic officials are involved in this," said Deshpande.
MNS members had walked out of the standing committee meeting, after reports of discrepancies in the form distribution process surfaced. MNS had also demanded that 80% of the hawkers should be sons of the soil.
A civic official said, "It is an immature act. We are yet to decide what action can be taken against them."
"We have arrested eight local MNS workers for creating a ruckus. They have been booked on charges of unlawful assembly. The MNS workers wanted to send a message to the civic chief that hawkers can erect their stalls anywhere in the city, including near his place," said a senior police inspector Rajaram Prabhu of Gamdevi police station.

Men, Fathers, and Work-Family Balance
University of Oregon Sociologist Scott Coltrane and colleagues correctly stated that there is a "mismatch between the workplace and workforce" in the United States today. While about half of American families in the 1970s had a breadwinning father and a homemaking mother, only about one-third of families today fit that description. Dual-earner couples have become the norm in American society, thanks to women's expanded workforce participation; both partners work in 59.1 percent of married couples with children, and 68.2 percent of single mothers are also employed outside the home.

Restraining order filed against Madison County storm shelter companyPublished 6:36am Tuesday, March 6, 2012
A Madison County storm shelter company is accused of violating Alabama's Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
Attorney General Luther Strange filed a temporary restraining order Monday against a north Alabama storm shelter company, Tornado Masters of Alabama, it's chief operating officer, Leslie Holt; employee, Grady Holt' and SafeSteel, Inc.
In the complaint, Attorney General Strange claims Tornado Masters violated Alabama's Deceptive Trade Practices Act by telling consumers their storm shelters would offer protection from powerful tornadoes.
A hearing is set for March 16 for the Court to consider a preliminary injunction, based on a complaint also filed this morning by Attorney General Strange. The complaint alleges that the defendants "violated multiple provisions of Alabama's Deceptive Trade Practices Act by soothing people's fear of tornadoes with the false guarantee that their storm shelters will shield purchasers from the most powerful tornadoes." Falsely representing that their shelters exceeded FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) specifications, the defendants instead provided structures that "sat on inadequate bases, were not properly anchored, began to rot and rust within a few months, held standing water whenever it rained, and had inadequate ventilation."
Perhaps one of the most egregious violations alleged in the Attorney General's complaint is an $80,000 shelter constructed as an addition onto Huntsville Christian Academy in 2009, described as "an unsafe, unlicensed, and thoroughly inadequate shelter, which has no lights, flammable egg-foam crating along the walls, little or no ventilation, and dangerous in-swing doors that are hazardous in a panic situation." The Attorney General's motion for a temporary restraining order describes a situation at the school just three days ago, as severe weather struck again in Alabama on Friday. That afternoon, the State Fire Marshal declared the shelter to be an "imminent hazard."
Attorney General Strange said he is relieved that the Court granted his request and took immediate action to protect Alabamians. "Our evidence indicates that these defendants callously exploited the anxiety of people who did their best to prepare and protect their loved ones from the devastation that has struck at our state through tornadoes and storms. Unbeknownst to these consumers, their loved ones are not safer but actually may be even more endangered by the shelters which many sacrificed to pay for. It was vital that these deceptive trade practices be halted, and steps taken to protect our citizens as we head into another season of tornadoes and unstable weather."

Why Is Syria Locked In Endless Conflict?
By editor
Originally published on Tue May 29, 2012 2:21 pm
The uprisings in Syria, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen all started last spring. They've all resulted in regime change — except for the uprising in Syria.
Why is Syria locked in a brutal and seemingly endless conflict? The answer has to do with history, politics, and a growing class of entrepreneurs who are struggling to pick a side. Their decision could turn the tide of the conflict. It could also cost them their lives.

D.J. Johnson graduated from East High last year, and with that everyone in the Kern County tennis scene figured the title of Best Player in Bakersfield would move on to another high school. Everyone, that is, except Blades coach Christopher Combs and their remaining best player, senior Samuel Ramirez.
Turns out, they were right: Ramirez went undefeated in the regular season and advanced to the Central Section semifinals, making him The Californian's Boys Tennis Singles Player of the Year.
It's the fourth straight year that an East High player has won the award -- the previous three going to Johnson.
"For me, as a coach, it was not really a surprise," Combs said. "Sammy has always just been in D.J.'s shadow. D.J. has been heralded, but he had to beat Sammy three years in a row in the league final. Almost anywhere else, he would have played No. 1."
Ramirez had no problem biding his time while Johnson had the spotlight.
"It wasn't too bad; we were pretty good friends," Ramirez said. "I didn't mind it much. He was really good. I mean, what are you gonna do? IT was fun. I kind of missed him this year, but it was nice that people recognized me, too."
Recognition came late also for The Californian's Doubles Team of the Year, Stockdale's John Matthew Flores and Matt Nisson.
After losing the Southwest Yosemite League final as the top seed to Liberty's Drew Raney-Andrew Engel, Flores-Nisson came back to win the section doubles title as the No. 4 seed, beating the top seed from Clovis West in the semifinals and the No. 3 seed from Clovis East for the championship.
"We just said, 'OK, you guys are seeded fourth, but you know what, you have to beat everybody to win it all,'" Stockdale coach Dave Hillestad said. "They took that and used it, and it was helpful."
Like Flores and Nisson, Ramirez didn't even win his own league title. He entered the Southeast Yosemite League singles championship unbeaten in 23 matches, including two against Garces' Chris Robles. But Robles surprised him that day, 6-4, 6-4.
"They've always had tight matches," Combs said. "And after having played D.J. (in the league final) all those years, I feel like Sammy put some extra pressure on himself because this time he knew he had a good chance to win."
It didn't work out, but Ramirez shook it off, beat Ridgeview's Brian Yanez in a tough area quarterfinal, 6-4, 7-5, to qualify for the section tournament, and then ripped off two wins there, including a 6-7, 6-1, 6-3 win against Liberty's Anthony Busacca in the quarterfinals.
"Anthony was playing pretty well, and I was too," Ramirez said. "It was a hard match. I had played him earlier in the year and kind of caught him by surprise. This time, he played a lot better, and I had to play differently."
Ramirez lost 6-0, 6-2 to eventual champion Andrew Gong of Visalia-Central Valley Christian in the semifinals and settled for fourth place, but he said his loss to Gong might have been his best of the year.
"He beat me pretty bad, but I made him work," Ramirez said.
That ability to shake off adversity and continue playing well is what made Ramirez's senior season special. He grew up as a talented ball-striker, but he said he struggled with his mindset and what it took to win tough matches.
That improved throughout his high school career, though he mostly played teams' No. 2 players while Johnson played the top player.
This year, Ramirez came full stride.
"Mentally, this was the best I've ever seen him," Combs said. "Sometimes, in the past, he would think about this or that. Mentally, he was somewhere else. But I think he didn't want to go out as a senior that way. He knew where he wanted to be at the end of the year."
And so the string of Players of the Year from East continues with Ramirez, who will stay on the east side and play for Bakersfield College next season.
"This year he played oustanding," Combs said. "This is how I wanted to see him play, and we got a chance to see him do it against No. 1 guys. He used all of his talents this year."

I have had the good fortune of living here in Walla Walla since 1954, though I am sure, by the strictest of definitions, some might not consider me a true "Walla Wallan" - I simply do not have the history, but that's OK. I love Walla Walla and the benevolent people who live here. Always have, always will.
I attended school here, went off to college, got married and came back where our children were born and raised and I now enjoy the fringe benefits of loving and spoiling (to some degree I'm sure) our grandchildren.
From 1980 through 1991, I had the honor of serving on the Walla Walla City Council and held the office of mayor in 1986-87. For the last 20 years, I have had the good fortune serving as the executive director of The Center at the Park. I now come to you, in that capacity and as a long-time area resident, seeking your support.
As you probably have read, the Aviary is home to about 200 exotic birds and it is my understanding some of those birds are on the endangered species list. However, the Aviary is slated on the city's list of cuts due to the budgetary constraints and financial challenges now facing the city.
The Center is sincerely asking to partner with you - the informed and concerned citizens of Walla Walla - the city, our Walla Walla Area Valley Merchants and our service clubs and organizations to raise the money necessary to keep the Aviary open and operational in the short and long term.
Not only do many area residents enjoy the Aviary, but it is also an invaluable attraction to tourists who visit our city.
I realize that in these difficult economic times there are many projects worthy of community support and there are limited financial resources available to do all we would like to do.
Still, I believe Walla Walla's Aviary is a unique resource to Walla Walla and hope that, together, we are able to figure out ways to keep it open now and for years to come. I am respectfully requesting you please send your donations to: The Center at the Park, C/O Save the Aviary, 720 Sprague St., Walla Walla.
Remember, your donations are tax deductible. We appreciate your support and your commitment to our community!
Michael Johnson
