Take the case of Sita in the Ramayana: she belongs to the category of women whom we call sati, meaning a woman of truth and purity. Now Sita's devotion is unique. From the point of view of surrender she is perfect; her devotion to Rama, her husband, is total. Ravana, who kidnapped Sita, is an incomplete man whereas Sita is a complete woman. The radiance of a complete woman is such that an incomplete man cannot dare to touch her. He cannot even set eyes on her. Only an incomplete woman can be looked at in a sexual way by him.
When a man approaches a woman sexually he is not entirely responsible. The incompleteness of the woman is also inevitably responsible. When a man touches a woman sexually in a crowd he is only half responsible. The woman invites it and is equally responsible. She provokes it, invites it, and because she is passive her role in it goes unnoticed. Since the man is active it is very evident that he touched her. But we cannot see the invitation from the other side.
Ravana could not even raise his eyes toward Sita, and Ravana held no meaning for Sita. Yet after the war with Ravana and after rescuing Sita from his captivity, Rama insisted on the fire test for Sita to confirm her purity. Sita did not resist. Had she refused to go through the test she would have lost her position as a sati. She could have insisted that they both pass through the fire test, because although she was alone with another man Rama too was roaming the woods alone - and who knows what women he may have met?
But this question never arose in Sita's mind. She readily went through the fire test. Had she questioned Rama's authority even once she would have fallen from her position as a sati, because then the surrender would not have been total; there would have been something slightly lacking in it. And had she raised the question even once and then passed through the fire, she would have been burned; she would not have gone unscathed. But her devotion was total, for her there was no other man. We think it a miracle however, that she passed through the fire unharmed.
If an ordinary person also passes through fire while in a particular inner state, he will not burn. If a man in a state of hypnosis is told that fire will not burn him, he can walk on it and not be burned.
An ordinary fakir walks on fire in a particular state of mind when the energy circuit is complete within him. The energy circuit breaks with doubt. If a doubting thought crosses his mind even once, that maybe he will be burned, the circuit breaks and he is bound to get burned. If two fakirs jump into the fire and seeing them you feel, "If these two can jump and not be affected, how can I burn?" then if you too jump into the fire, you also will not be affected by it. A whole line of people can pass through fire thus and not be burned. The one who doubts will not dare to enter the fire; he will stand aside. But the one who sees so many passing through unaffected thinks, "If so many are unharmed, why should the fire harm me?" For this reason he can pass through and the fire does not touch him.

China's discreet moves to promote the renminbi as an international reserve currency could spell disaster for the US Treasury market and further exacerbate the structural weaknesses of the dollar
It was on Christmas Eve that China chose to launch what appeared to be a simple new trade scheme to start using renminbi, rather than US dollars or euros, in deals with eight neighbouring economies. Worries about both dollar volatility for exporters and the impact of a dollar slump on the countrys $2tr foreign currency holdings presumably led to the announcement being pitched softly over Christmas for fear of what it might do to the US currency.
If the new scheme to use renminbi for international trade works, the experiment could herald the start of the renminbis global ascent, as China inches closer to making its currency convertible and paves the way to becoming an international reserve currency a goal Chinas top economic policy-makers now confirm theyre actively pursuing. At root, the move may represent an attempt, however provisional, to decouple Asian currencies from the US dollar.
If and when China makes its capital account convertible, importing countries will need reserves of renminbi. To get them, central banks around the world will have to sell US assets and Treasury bills.
More worryingly for international finance, this comes at a time when Chinas appetite for US debt, apparent in recent comments from Chinese policy-makers, is on the wane. As the global downturn has intensified, Beijing is starting to keep more of its money at home.
So far, despite all the talk coming out of China, Beijing has yet to lose its near-term appetite for either dollars or Treasuries. Over the last 12 months, Chinas official US Treasury purchases have hit a record $190 billion. Most of the rise has come in the past few months of data.
But whats becoming increasingly clear is that the impact of the global downturn on Chinas finances has been severe. Its also having an effect on what the government does with its money: Beijing is looking to pay for its own $600 billion stimulus just as tax revenue is falling sharply as the Chinese economy slows. Meanwhile banks are being ordered to lend more money to small and medium-sized firms, many of which are buckling under lower export orders, and to local governments to invest in new roads and other projects.
Looking ahead, Chinas official purchases of US debt are bound to fall from their current level as the rate of foreign exchange accumulation slows. This will become especially acute as Chinas huge trade surpluses fall back to earth. The share of Chinas reserves held in dollars and the proportion invested in Treasuries may also shift downward. Fitch, the credit rating agency, forecasts that Chinas total foreign currency reserves will increase by $177 billion this year down sharply from an estimated $415 billion last year.
Nevertheless, increasingly many global investors are, for now, piling into dollar assets, even though yields on 10 year US Treasuries have fallen to 2.4%. Despite the Treasury markets rally at the end of last year, many investors still see value in US bonds, especially in the five and ten year sectors.
Treasury yields have fallen in both absolute terms and, markedly, in relative terms to the yields on private instruments, as investors flee global economic uncertainty for the perceived stability of US government debt.
Of course, if this extent of economic calamity had hit an emerging markets government whose financial institutions were in as deep disarray as those of the US, investors would have run a mile cutting off the offending nation from global capital markets. But for the US, just the opposite has happened.
The reasons for this are well known: potential capital losses on existing stocks keep foreign investors locked into US government securities, helping explain why global investors have, in effect, been rushing into a burning building at the first sign of smoke.
But reduced Chinese enthusiasm for buying US bonds will complicate matters not least for US interest rates. Chinas insatiable demand for American bonds has helped keep interest rates low for borrowers ranging from the federal government to home buyers. As Beijing pulls back, the result will be a decrease in this dampening effect on rates.
Yet as of today, this scenario represents a sharp break with consensus. Worldwide, the possibility of deflation has boosted demand for sovereign paper. Indeed todays commonplace analogy for the US economy is of Japans lost decade, when bond yields kept falling as a deflationary spiral took hold.
But this view is potentially wrong. For a start, the US Federal Reserve will not wait for years to hit the printing press. On the contrary, monetary expansion has already begun in earnest. And if China becomes a net seller of US treasury bonds, the Fed and other central banks will move swiftly to monetize their ever-growing national deficits. As this happens, markets will quickly forget about deflation. Instead, attention will shift to the fact that the Fed is boosting its balance sheet nearly four-fold, from $800 billion to $3 trillion. Bond markets could be in for a surprise, as yields rise sharply whatever happens to economic growth. Economic history is littered with examples of falling production and rising inflation.
Of course this is a problem not just for the US but for the UK and eurozone economies too. It also presents a profound conundrum for bond markets in the year ahead all the more so given the record amount of sovereign debt set to be issued.
For now, one can only hope that Chinas surprise Christmas initiative takes place gradually, lest it torpedoes the value of American bonds not to mention dollar assets globally.
But given the risks, take nothing for granted.
Jamaica is getting back on track and could become an unlikely poster child for the IMF. However, elsewhere in the Caribbean the threat of default looms and some countries are not ready to ask for help
Falling commodity prices have hurt Mongolia's economy, which relies heavily on its abundant natural resources. Improving relations with China are helping it through the squeeze but the country has yet to show its true potential to global investors
Bank debt issuance across Asia is soaring this year, driven by the need to comply with Basel III regulations. Fresh impetus from China is set to send volumes higher still
With every resource that it needs to become a wealthy country, Kazakhstan should be doing better, but its economy remains stubbornly tied to energy and metals prices. President Nazarbayev is running out of time to transform his nation
Africa has been on the cusp of mainstream capital markets for years. While the continent made a breakthrough in the variety of issuance it produced in 2012-13, 2014 looks like it will be the year when African borrowers finally become established
Women's participation in the labour force still lags men's by 12% even in developed economies. In the MENA region it can be up to 50%. That is a wasted resource - and best practice examples show countries and companies that tackle the problem outperform
There is still pessimism in the business community but I feel the central bank and finance ministry are trying to get closer to the private sector in order to lift confidence

July 2010 Indie Next List
"Spoiled Lulu demands a brontosaurus for her birthday, and when her parents say no, Lulu tromps off to find one herself. The scary woods provide some animal encounters that Lulu easily deals with; she is the scary one, after all. Finally Lulu finds Mr. B, a brontosaurus who completely agrees that having a pet would be a wonderful thing. What happens next will surprise young readers and please their parents. Lane Smith's illustrations add a fine comedic touch."
— Margaret Brennan Neville, The King's English, Salt Lake City, UT
It's Lulu's birthday and she's decided she'd like a pet brontosaurus as a present. When Lulu's parents tell her that's not possible, Lulu gets very upset. She does not like it when things don't go her way. So she takes matters into her own hands and storms off into the forest to find herself a new pet, all the way singing:
I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, gonna, get
a bronto-bronto-bronto-bronto-saurus for a pet!
In the forest Lulu encounters a number of animals; a snake, a tiger, a bear, all of whom don't particularly impress her. And then she finds him...a beautiful, long-necked, gentle, graceful brontosaurus. And he completely agrees with Lulu that having a pet would be a wonderful thing, indeed! Lulu thinks she's gotten her birthday wish at last. Until she realizes that Mr. Brontosaurus thinks that she would make an ideal pet for him!
How will Lulu ever get out of this sticky situation without throwing a fit (Mr. B does not respond well to those), or using force (Mr. B is much to tall to bonk on the head with her suitcase), or smushing her pickle sandwich?

Happy Fourth of July! Fireworks, cookouts, lots of flags! It's an important holiday folks tend to celebrate in a fun way. The most patriotic thing is to celebrate and support the States by buying things made in the USA.
Of course, all of our Dream Stockings and Dreamer Socks styles are made here in the USA and we have some pretty slammin' reds and royal blues.
• Extraordinarily Longer Thigh High •
• Vertically Inclined Stockings •
• Cotton Inklined Knee Highs •
We only have a handful of American Flag socks, but the run the style gamut from the practically superhero-like Old Glory Printed Trouser Socks to the almost vintage-feel of the Old Glory Midcalves (which are, funnily enough, the only flag socks we have that are made in the USA).
• Old Glory Printed Trouser Socks •
• American Flag Midcalves •
• America Printed Trouser Socks •
• Old Glory Midcalves •
Now, you know my weakness is colours and pairing colours. So let's shuck the origins for a little bit and just splash around in the boldly beautiful combo of red, white and blue after the jump. Consider it a tiny sock fireworks show! Heck, we'll throw in some fireworks too!
Last year we looked at footies and openwork as a way to keep rocking socks as the weather grows warmer. But sometimes even less coverage isn't enough for overwarm feet. With summer officially starting tomorrow, I thought I'd share some styles that are particularly kind to too toasty toes.
First, let's be honest. We're talking about foot sweat. There's a lot of fancy ways to say it, like "moisture", or there's the emphasis on "keeping dry." But sweat is sweat and we all drip it at our warmest moments. The plague of summer is foot sweat pooling in shoes and somehow making your feet clammy, yet still too warm. That is pretty gross, so let's reset your brain with this snuggly picture of Ferous from our Instagram.
Back to the matter at hand. There's only so much you can do to prevent your feet from sweating. Less sock is a part of that, and we know folks who go straight to sandals and no socks as soon as the weather heats up. But, not everyone gets to rock sandals (closed-toe shoe policies, personal taste, etc), so: folks who keep en-socked through summer, this is for you.
For all of the fabulous lightness of cotton, it transforms into a soggy sock when it gets wet and it takes its time to dry. But you combine cotton with a fiber like bamboo and you get a breezy sock that practically feels cool against the skin, lets your toes breathe and doesn't get bogged down by "moisture." The bamboo multi-pack styles from Foot Traffic are a great example of this. And! They've got lightly vented tops to maximize breathability.
• Bamboo No Show 3 Pack •
• Bamboo Crew 2 Pack •
Wicking. What exactly does that entail, when it comes to a sock? Well, that can mean a couple of things: they channel sweat off to where it can evaporate, they're more absorbent and better at getting sweat off of you, they dry faster. A bonus is that a lot of them are super durable fibers that can take quite a beating and are less likely to aromatically convey just how hard a day your feet had.
Sounds fab, right? What if I said wool was one of the best fibers for just all that? It sounds madly counter-intuitive, but most technical (read: science-y) socks employ wool in styles you'll be sweating up precisely because it's a great fiber for wicking and insulation. Remember! You can insulate things to keep them warm AND to keep them cool. That's the principle behind these four fabulous footies:
• Running Anklets •
• Inspire Micro Anklet – Smaller Feet •
• Lo Liner No Show •
• Inspire Micro Anklet – Larger Feet •
Another wicking wool blend shortie are the Wool Lightweight Running No Show Toe Socks. This style even has a ventilated top (that waffle-y pattern) to help manage the heat.
Toe socks in general can be a boon in warm weather. The idea of separately wrapping each toe in fabric when it's warm is probably making you sweat just thinking about it, but that extra fabric goes a long way in dealing with excess moisture and helps prevent blisters and general discomfort caused by sweaty toes all rubbing up against each other.
If the concept of wool toe socks is too much, how about Coolmax®? A synthetic fiber designed to really amp up the whole wicking of sweat process (we go into a better explanation in this post), it's a fabulous summer combo with toe socks.
• Lightweight Running No Show Toe Sock •
The ultra best lightweight summer fiber is going to be silk, though. A particular favourite as a liner in the winter, the whisper-thin touch of silk in the summer is cooling to just think about. One of our Dreamers with particularly overwarm feet personally recommends silk toe sock styles as her ideal during warm months.
• Silk Ballerina Toes •
• Silk Toed Dress Socks •
There are other styles that different kinds of feet love in hot weather as well (every foot is unique, after all), but these are our top favourites for really beating the heat. Of course, we always encourage folks to drop us a line with their measurements and needs, 'cause nobody deserves the sweaty foot of summer!
May and early June may sometimes act like summer, but late spring is still a far cry from the practiced heat of July and August. We know some of you live where it is hot sun-up to sun-down and you're scoffing right now, but even on 70-80°F afternoons the mornings around here can hover around a comparatively chilly 50°F. That's a big jump!
If you're going in to work, you can put together something with layers to get you from the chilly outside morning to the warm after-work afternoon. But what about days at home? If you haven't got central air, you're probably like me, all windows open to the cold morning, collecting a bit of chill so the house doesn't heat up quite so much in the sun.
That's why we didn't feel that goofy introducing the fleece knee highs from Polar Feet. They're perfect for paring with shorts on chilly, pre-summer mornings.
• Jellybean Fleece Knee Highs •
One of our Dreamers is particularly stoked, as they plan on getting a pair to wear camping. Their feet will be warm on cool woodsy mornings and in those surprisingly chilly evenings around the campfire. Plus, they fit great into boots!
• Lumberjack Fleece Knee Highs •
What we particularly love about these fleece knee highs is the range of fit! Fleece doesn't have as much give as knit materials, so we did some testing to figure out calf sizing. If a 19 inch cuff stretch isn't enough, check out our versions in a wider calf, with about 23 inches of comfy, cozy stretch! What our smaller-footed folks loved was that, even on the larger calf size, the ankle wasn't too baggy, tapering just the right amount but still offering about 12 inches of stretch at the narrowest part.
• Jellybean Fleece Knee Highs Wider Calf •
And bigger-footed folks were pleased too. Right now, the large foot size is only available in the Lumberjack style, but we tried it on our resident US men's shoe size 11.5 EEEE (that's 4x wide, plus he's got a high instep!) and they fit beautifully.
• Lumberjack Fleece Knee Highs Wider Calf •
If it's already too hot where you live to even think of fleece, do future you a favour and pick up a pair to stash away until winter. Polar Feet is a tiny, wonderful company, and sometimes they have trouble keeping up with your demand for their delightful socks! When winter rolls around (even though it seems a million years away right now), your toes will thank you as they stay toasty.
And, of course, these fleece knee highs are perfect for our pals in the Southern Hemisphere, where they'll be enjoying the start of winter any week now!

This year, Mother's Day is May 11th, and hooray for mommas! If you're looking for a socky treat for a mom in your life (or you're a mom who is treating themselves), we've got some sweet and snuggly options for you!
In previous years on the Sock Journal, we've looked at our Mother's Day Favourites collection, maternity tights and sweet indulgences. It can be tough thinking of good Mother's Day themes for posts, since moms are people and people love so many different things! I was pretty stumped for what to do this year, but then I realized the holiday gives me the perfect excuse to show off my favourite thing: matching big and little socks.
Probably one of us Dreamers' favourite things to see is an order with a matching pair of grown-up size socks and baby or kid size socks. The big socks are like the little socks' momma! So if your feet are the same size or bigger than your moms' get them one of our eight new plastic gift card designs so they can get what they really want, then sit back and get ready to go "aaaaaw!"
We were excited to be able to offer our fabulous Extraordinary Harvest Rainbows in a family range of sizes. And since they are extraordinary, the Youth fits down to toddler toes and the Junior fits up to middle grade kids (depending on everybody's shoe sizes, of course!).
Since our Dreamy Bamboo Patterned OTKs are only available in a smaller size in the Ivory, the Little Dreamer Bamboo Socks are a separate entry, but they fit the same great range the Harvest Rainbows do!

Consumer health care spending increases faster
January 03, 2002
In 2000, consumer spending on health care increased 5.5 percent. This was about twice the rate of increase of overall consumer spending.
In each of the previous four years, rises in health care spending by consumers were in the range of 2.0 to 4.0 percent. In two of those years, health care expenditures rose less than overall expenditures.
The Consumer Expenditure Survey is the source of these data. Consumer Expenditure Survey data also include the expenditures and income of consumers, as well as the demographic characteristics of those consumers. For more information, see news release USDL 01-480, Consumer Expenditures in 2000.

Identifying And Treating Stress Fractures And Lateral Ankle Sprains In Athletes
What You Should Know About Lateral Ankle Sprains
The other very common injury is a lateral ankle sprain. These injuries tend to be much more easily identifiable as the patient generally presents with edema, ecchymosis and pain in the lateral ankle. These injuries also tend to be more dynamic acute injuries. With these injuries, patients can usually describe the incident of injury or impact, and give a much more defined time of injury.
One of the most important and often overlooked aspects of the diagnosis of acute ankle sprains is the evaluation of both the peroneal tendons and checking for a potential fracture at the base of the fifth metatarsal. It is generally for this reason that in-office radiographs are indicated for these injuries. It is necessary to include the ankle in the radiographic studies as the same mechanism of injury is present in acute ankle fractures as well.
One of the important questions to ask these patients during the initial evaluation is whether they heard anything during the injury like a "pop" or "snap." Physicians should also ascertain whether the patient was able to ambulate immediately after the injury. Also ask whether the patient noticed ecchymosis and edema immediately, or if there was a lag in time between the injury and when he or she noticed these hallmarks.
Keys To Managing Anterior Talofibular Ligament Injuries
Interestingly, some patients who present with a chronic injury of the lateral ankle describe a type of transient swelling of the lateral ankle as the day progresses. It is important to explain to these patients that if they sustained an injury to the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) — which is the most common ligament affected — since it is an intracapsular ligament, they may have now compromised their ankle joint capsule. This can cause joint fluid to exude through the injury and cause this transient edema. This may also increase their chances for arthritic changes within the ankle joint due to ineffective retention of this important fluid within the joint.
If one identifies an acute injury to either the ATFL or the peroneal tendons, immediate non-weightbearing in a cast boot for several weeks is indicated. If you diagnose a fracture to either the ankle or the fifth metatarsal, proceed to determine the severity of the fracture. Then the physician must choose between long-term non-weightbearing cast immobilization or open reduction with internal fixation.
After one has identified a ligamentous or tendinous injury and conservative management has failed, the physician should obtain MRI to further rule out the location of the injury within the tendon or ligamentous structure. Also determine the injury's severity, specifically whether it is a through and through injury, a rupture or only a partial rupture. Generally, if immobilization is unsuccessful in relieving the patient's symptoms, surgical intervention is required to restore the structure to a functional state.
Another injury that MRI can help identify is an osteochondral lesion within the dome of the talus. An acute injury of this nature rarely shows up on an initial radiograph. This can lead to long-term complications if it is not addressed.
One of the more recent advances in the surgical management of the acute partial ATFL rupture is the use of thermal capsular shrinkage of this ligament in an attempt to limit the morbidity associated with using tendonous grafting to repair the ligament. The postoperative recovery is quicker and the return to activity is also on a much shorter timeline.
Whether one selects a surgical approach or has success with conservative management, many of these patients with lateral ankle sprains do require some form of physical therapy and bracing support of the affected ankle.
One of the challenges in treating a lateral ankle sprain is the re-education of the mechanoreceptors within the ATFL. Once the ATFL is injured, it hampers the effectiveness of the mechanoreceptors within the ligament itself to provide the nervous system with important proprioceptive information.
It is vital to re-establish this function as quickly as possible as this loss of proprioception has been associated with chronic injuries to this ligament, which ultimately can cause more severe injury and chronic ankle instability.

VANCOUVER — Three-time Olympic medallist Silken Laumann is blasting Rowing Canada's decision to part ways with men's eights coach Mike Spracklen.
Rowing Canada announced Spracklen's departure on its website. The sport's governing body merely said Spracklen will not return to his post, and did not describe his departure as either a firing or resignation.
"It's unfair," Laumann told the Canadian Press on Tuesday. "I'm fully supportive of Mike and his coaching style and I think it's a pretty major mistake on Rowing Canada's part to let Mike go."
No reasons were given, but Spracklen has had a fractious relationship and public spats with Rowing Canada for a number of years.
"Mike's a guy who speaks his mind," Laumann said. "He fights for the athletes. So if he thinks that the administrators and Rowing Canada are doing things that are not in the best interests of his athletes, he'll let them know."
Spracklen, a 75-year-old native of Marlow, England, guided the men's eights team to a silver medal at the London Games, following up on gold in the men's eight in 1992, silver and bronze in 1996, and gold in the men's eight again in 2000 and 2008.
"That silver medal (from London): just to put that in perspective there were only two guys in that boat that had medalled before," Laumann said. "He took a relatively inexperienced group of men ... and was able to pull them together to create a silver-medal performance.
"I think it's pretty hard to argue he's not on top of his game when he's producing results."
He also helped Laumann earn a bronze medal in 1992, when she overcame a broken leg suffered in a freak accident 10 weeks before the Barcelona Games. Spracklen mentored Laumann between 1990 and 1996, when she capped her career with a silver medal in singles sculls.
She also won a bronze in double sculls in 1984 in Los Angeles.
"Mike's sort of been handed that label, that he's a divisive coach," Laumann said. "I don't believe that's true. It certainly wasn't true in 1992.
"He's a strong coach, he has strong opinions and sometimes other people don't agree with him. But I think Rowing Canada has created a situation that's augmented any divisiveness that was there in the first place."
Laumann said it was hard to argue with Spracklen's track record and he had at least two more Olympics in him.
"Mike's track record is unquestionable," Laumann said. "He has won more medals for this country than any other rowing coach, dare I say any other coach, that Canada has ever employed."
In a news release, Rowing Canada praised Spracklen and said he has left a "significant legacy."
"We thank Mike for his tremendous contributions to Canadian rowing, and we know he will be missed by many of the athletes he has worked with," said Rowing Canada high-performance director Peter Cookson. "Mike has left a significant legacy and we respect and celebrate his many achievements."
Rowing Canada said the performance director of the heavyweight men's program, based in Victoria, will be announced, along with other appointments, at a later date.
Meanwhile, John Keogh was named the new performance director for the women's program, to be based in London, Ont. Al Morrow, a member of the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame and a multiple Olympic medal-winning coach, was appointed head of the men's lightweight program, which will also be based in Ontario.

2013 WEST TEXAS FOOTBALL: Bobcats experienced on defense
Secondary in particular should shine
In the 2012 season opener, the Central Bobcats gave up 13 points in the final 5:28 of the game — a one-point loss to El Paso Franklin.
Relying on a defensive secondary filled with sophomores and juniors, the Bobcats suffered for their inexperience in a game that Central looked like it had sewn up.
"We grew up over the course of the year," defensive coordinator Mark Chester said. "In Week 1 against Franklin, we didn't understand some of our simple coverages. By the end of the year, that was not the issue anymore. That is what happens when you have a lot of youth.
"We had a lot of guys coming out of freshman football to starting a varsity game against Franklin, which throws the ball very well. A lot of it was just learning and understanding our scheme."
By the end of the season, Central's defense was able to put the clamps down on Midland Lee in the second half, allowing just seven points against the Rebels in a must-win game.
The strong showing allowed the Bobcats to overtake Lee and claim the district's final playoff spot.
With nine holdovers on that side of the ball, Central has reason to believe that its defense will not only be better, but a strength on a team with district title aspirations.
"It is going to be the best defense we've had since I've been here," head coach Brent Davis said. "We've been here for four years, and our kids understand our system, and we've got a bunch back from last year."
That includes three of four defensive line spots, a returning linebacker and the secondary returning intact.
The secondary includes a trio — free safety Luke West and cornerbacks Jaylon Lane and Connor Frank — that started all last season as sophomores and still have two more years on varsity.
"We have very high confidence," Lane said. "Even though we've been picked third in district, I still believe we can come in first. The whole football team as a unit is good. Knowing that we have hype in the district feels good.
"We have built this up. We were a young football team last year, but we built it right and we can be great."
Senior Bryan Bass also returns, while Jake Berg has moved to linebacker.
All told, Central's secondary forced 11 of the Bobcats' 12 interceptions and boasted six of the team's top eight tacklers in 2012.
"Our key is to get the football back," Chester said. "That is our job, period. We know that our offense is excellent, and we want to get the ball in their hands. Our secondary is a big part of that — making big plays. We have a really good defensive line this year, too, and I think that is going to pay off."
Coaches are expecting West, who led the team with 100 tackles in 2012, to have another big year from his safety spot.
"Hopefully we can do a lot better and force twice as many turnovers," West said. "Experience is going to help a lot. All of the safeties and corners are trying to double their picks and our tackles. We just want to do what we did last year, but better."
Chester expects the improved bulk up front will pay dividends stopping the run, an area where Central struggled last year.
"We have bigger guys than we've ever had on the defensive line," Chester said. "Even though everybody is throwing the ball now, the most important thing is still to be able to stop the run. We feel like we are going to be better at that this year. Part of that is because of the size we have on the line."
Joseph Brooks, a 6-foot-3, 265-pound defensive tackle, anchors the front, along with returnees Nate Newton (5-11, 220) and Brian Signorelli (5-11, 210).
The Bobcats are hoping 6-4 Eli Howard can make an impact at defensive end after playing quarterback his first two seasons at Central.
The Bobcats had just eight sacks all season last year.
"We take the expectations as a challenge," Brooks said. "We have to step up to the plate and go as hard as we can. We've worked really hard, so hopefully it will turn up for us. I am ready to put the pads back on — I've missed it."
Another junior returns at linebacker in Davis Martin, whom Chester said has added 10-15 pounds in the offseason and also will be counted on to follow up his 99-tackle sophomore campaign.
Chester said the biggest advantage of having so many familiar faces on the defensive side of the ball is that it frees up the coaching staff.
"You can do more things when you have kids that have experience," Chester said. "You can add more coverages in and mix your coverages up and disguise your coverages. Your pressures can be better, and you can run more of them. The learning curve on how to execute the coverage is easier."
On top of that, the experience of playing under the lights in front of the historic stadiums in West Texas should give the Bobcats a leg up.
"A big part of this deal is getting used to Friday night. At our level, playing in front of so many people in higher-profile games. That has already happened," Chester said. "We've been through that with most of these guys. They understand what we expect from them. They understand our defense. They understand us better as coaches, how I am going to call things and when I am going to call things, what situations certain calls are going to happen in. They understand how to check in and out of things."
The Bobcats' experienced defense will be tested early in a rematch against blossoming rival Franklin and quarterback Cameron Candelaria, who ran for five scores and accumulated 384 yards of offense against Central in the bi-district playoffs last year.
"It has driven us this offseason. We have a lot of respect for Franklin. Their kids play hard, and their coaching staff does a great job," Chester said. "Their quarterback is fantastic. That has definitely been a motivation. Our kids defensively want to be better than we were last year. That is our biggest goal."

By NICK McQUEEN
In the last four seasons, the run game for the Fort Hays State University football team has been all about Smith -- times two.
Andre Smith was the starter, and Edward Smith was the backup. At least, that was supposed to be the case two seasons ago when Edward Smith, then a junior, went down with injury in the second game of the season against Washburn University.
Thanks to a medical redshirt, though, in 2012, Edward Smith now looks to make the most of his opportunity as the senior running back in the Tiger offense.
"Since I was a freshman, I've loved being here. I've always felt welcome," said Smith, who along with the Tigers, will look to start on a high note in Thursday's 7 p.m. opener against the University of Central Oklahoma at Lewis Field Stadium.
"From being a freshman to now is so different, just because I kind of see the young guys and think 'That was me,' " Smith said. "Now I'm the old guy and I can kind of help them out with whatever they need."
The 5-foot-10, 190-pound Smith is the only player on the roster to have seen the field under former Tiger coach Kevin Verdugo, and has seen a progression in the program from when he first arrived, along with an improvement in his own game.
"We've come together closer as a family -- as a team," said Smith, who rushed for 411 yards on 74 carries with eight TDs last season as the backup. "Offense, defense, we all hang out together. Everyone is closer now.
"That's the biggest change. Everything is just better, and in a more positive way."
In his freshman year (2010), Smith rushed for 101 yards on 15 attempts with two scores. Then, he played a bigger role in 2011. He played in all 11 games, was the team's second-leading rusher with 748 yards, and had a team-best six rushing touchdowns. Two seasons ago, he carried the ball 17 times for 46 yards in the season opener, but was injured on his first carry in Week 2, and didn't see another down.
He's looking forward to being the No.1 guy in the backfield, though, he's been held back a bit in practice to keep him healthy. He knows there are guys waiting in the wings as well.
"When I was a freshman, I was fast, but I wasn't as explosive as I am now," he said. "I've been working out, and been doing the summer thing big time. I've got way more explosive since I was a freshman until now."
But he also was a proven commodity, and check down weapon for Albert last season. He caught 22 passes for 106 yards and scored a receiving TD. He attributes his success to becoming more a part of a team, rather than looking for a big score on every play -- as he did when he first arrived at the college level.
"It just comes with the process," Smith said. "You have to get what you can get. You can't be looking for the big play all the time. You just have to get down hill, and get those yards you need to help the team win the game."
He looks to carry on a strong run game that was before headed up by Andre Smith, who had 1,013 yards on 188 carries. The Tiger backfield, though, looks to be Smith -- party of one.
"He showed me the way, he showed me what I need to do to be a feature back in the system," Edward Smith said of Andre. "My mentality hasn't really changed, but I learned a little bit more from him."

Wedding angle causes Impact rating spike:
Thursday's episode of TNA Impact Wrestling on Spike TV was up considerably from the previous week, thanks to the hype and intrigue surrounding the Bully Ray and Brooke Hogan wedding angle.
The show drew a 1.15 rating, with and average audience of 1.6 million viewers, up from the previous episode's 1.3 million.
The episode culminated with Ray's best man Taz revealing himself as a member of Aces and Eights.
Curt Hawkins cuts hair:
WWE star Curt Hawkins debuted a new look at last night's Smackdown house show from Anchorage, Alaska. He's chopped off the hair and appears reminiscent of his former tag partner Zach Ryder.
Hawkins is recently back in the ring after suffering a torn posterior cruciate ligament and meniscus.
Paul Roma compares CM Punk to the Honky Tonk Man:
Former wrestling star Paul Roma gave his opinion of CM Punk during a recent podcast on the WeWantInsanity.com website.
"He looks like somebody who was dragged out of the tattoo parlor – kicks his feet up and is just chain-smoking cigarettes. Not somebody that you want your son to look like," says the former WCW tag champ.
"But, at the end of the day, you have to look at him and look at Honky Tonk Man. Honky Tonk was a guy who had no body, but had a great gimmick and people wanted to see him get beat. So when he went out there and beat all these ex-champions and champions-to-be like Tito Santana, people were saying, 'How can that be? How can he beating Tito? How can he be beating this guy? How can he be beating that guy?' And that's what had you coming back. Again, it's like Mike Tyson. You don't have to like him, but you're going to watch to see him get beat. If you do like him, you're gonna watch to see him not get beat.
"And that's the same thing with CM Punk. You said it. He doesn't have a physique. He' s just that less-than-average guy as far as physically looking at him and he goes out there and wins, wins, wins. And it drives the average Joe out in the audience, that looks like him, to say, 'Oh, I can do that, man. CM Punk is doing it and he looks like s–t. I can do it.' The other people out there, who are jacked and in better shape physically, are saying, 'When's this guy gonna get beat?' That's the philosophy that Vince is using with this dude."
Roma also discussed his often forgotten time in the Four Horsemen:
"I had friends – close friends – who said to me, 'Don't you understand? You're a Horseman.' I said, 'Yeah. I got it, dude. I'm a Horseman.' (They'd reply), 'Oh dude! It's an honor! Don't you understand? There's only been like a few people and blah, blah, blah.' And I'm like, 'Okay. Alright. I get it. I'm a Horseman. Big f–king deal. It's not real. What are you not understanding? It's not real.' Take Brock Lesnar. He goes into the UFC. That's real – as far as I know. That's real. Those guys are fighting. He is controlling, for the most part, his own destiny. You go out there and get your a– kicked – not good. You go out there and win – that's good. Wrestling's not real. You go out there and they tell you if you're gonna win or lose."
Goldust talks idea to wrestle Cody Rhodes:
Former WWE star Goldust discussed his wish to wrestle his brother Cody Rhodes at Wrestlemania, during a recent interview with Ard Ocal of theScore network.
"It was discussed several times. I took it to Vince's attention many times and this was like months before and almost a year before things like that. Each time he was like no, second time no not going to do that, third time no, not yet, he left that open for me with not yet, it gave me a little hope."
Initially being uncomfortable with the Goldust:
"As far as the work it took me about 6 months of Vince saying I'm going to stand behind you and no matter what. I don't want you to get head strong, if you're stressed out just give me a call if you need to talk, and I did on several occasions. I really got no direction on how to be more androgynous and I was just learning how to be a heel."
His relationship with his father today:
"Oh we're on the best terms now, I'll never let that happen again. As far as children out there that hate their moms and dads just get over it because you get one dad and one mom, you know suck it up, learn something."

Sierra Nevada Corporation And Embraer Launch BuiltForTheMission.com
"The Super Tucano was built for this mission," said Gary Spulak, President Embraer Aircraft Holdings North America. "The Super T is a clean sheet design, built for combat, COIN and optimized for the U.S. Air Force. It makes no compromises on crew survivability, aircraft controllability or mission effectiveness."
The Super T is certified with over 130 external stores configurations. It has the same Hands-on-Throttle-and-Stick (HOTAS) and cockpit configuration as a modern fourth generation fighter aircraft. Yet, it is highly efficient to operate and easy to fly. It has unrivaled endurance, giving the warfighter the persistent ISR, kinetic, or training support. Its rugged landing gear and its long and broad stance of the gear enable routine operations on unpaved runways and excellent ground handling characteristics that frighten lesser aircraft. The lengths of the fuselage and flight controls ensure precise control even under the full throttle of its 1600 hp engine.
The LAS program will provide the Afghanistan National Army Air Corps with approximately 20 aircraft and another 15 to the USAF for its partner building capability. The decision is expected to be announced in June.

Write a ReviewNot great
By Laurie G. from San Antonio, TX on Dec 27, 2011
I guess it is the white candles I do not like. I have similar fixtures and they all have an amber or golden candle. This one is white and looks cheap. I will be returning the fixture.

This foyer light looks nice, I tried to get something in the same size as what was being replaced. I like the faux candle look and the prices was decent too. I would recommend buying from this site and would do so myself if the need came up again.

Barrington turns out for Envision Community meetings
Sunday, April 20, 2014
The Envision Barrington Community Profile meetings took place on April 11 and 12. Around 100 residents took part. This may not sound like a lot in a town of 8,500 but the UNH Cooperative Extension facilitators were quite pleased with the turnout.
The whole group then voted on what was felt to be the most important project in each area. People will be meeting independently in groups to work on the projects they were interested in. This information and feedback will aid the town in creating the next master plan.
This class is part of the New Hampshire Department of Fish and Game Aquatic Education's Let's Go Fishing program. The class is taught by certified Fish and Game instructors. Class space is limited, so be sure to register early through the Barrington Recreation Department.
World Book Night takes place on April 23, 2014 -Shakespeare's birthday- and is in its third year in the U.S. WBN reach includes all 50 states, Puerto Rico, USVI, and overseas military bases.

His term starts from the beginning of November after his current deal with the Cape side concludes at the end of October.
The versatile 22-year-old from Bloemfontein, who can also play fullback, has featured for Province in the Currie Cup and also turned out for the Stormers in Super Rugby over the last two seasons.
He is currently recovering from knee surgery.
Cronje, who is a former SA under-20 player, said he was looking forward to the challenge of playing his rugby at Loftus.
"The opportunity at the Bulls is one that I am looking forward to immensely," said Cronje.
"I would like to believe that my best years as a player are still ahead of me and that I could become an asset to the Bulls and take my game to the next level with them."
Heyneke Meyer, who is head of rugby at the Bulls, said the union have been looking to sign Cronje for some time.
"We are happy to finally have Lionel on our books," Meyer said.
"We have been looking to secure his services for a while now and I am very pleased with the news.
"Lionel will play an important role in our plans for the next couple of years."

Field wrote:He's only hit 5 homeruns since May 4th, so I'd say that it probably goes a little bit deeper than the "Homerun Derby" explanation. He still seems to be hitting the ball really hard, just not getting it into the air. With almost as many doubles as all of last year, I expect the HR's to come very soon. It's not like hes a 50 HR guy anyway, he's more of a 30 HR player at this point; a mark he could still reach if he has an August similar to his April.
