...cautioned Sparkman about the Census work. "I told him on more than one occasion, based on my years in the state police ... when you go into those counties, be careful, because people are going to perceive you different than they do elsewhere." But Roy Silver, a sociology professor at Southeast Community College in Harlan County, told the wire service that he doesn't think "distrust of government is any more or less here than anywhere else in the country...

India has expanded defense contacts and exchanges with a host of strategic Indian Ocean countries and archipelago nations such as Mauritius, Seychelles, Madagascar and the Maldives as well as engaged in naval exercises with other East Asian and Southeast Asian nations that are wary of China's growing stature, such as Japan and Vietnam. But China also maintains solid relationships with many of these countries - ties that, in most cases, bind far tighter and offer much more than what poorer India can muster...
