Naxal, Naxalite and Naksalvadi are generic terms used to refer to various Communist guerrilla groups in India, mostly under the influence of the CPI-Maoist. The term 'Naxal' derives from the name of the village Naxalbari in West Bengal, where the movement had its origin. Naxalites are considered far-left radical communists, supportive of Maoist political sentiment and ideology. Their origin can be traced to the split in 1967 of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), leading to the formation of the Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist). Initially the movement had its centre in West Bengal. In later years, it spread into less developed areas of rural southern and eastern India, such as Chhattisgarh, Odisha and Andhra Pradesh through the activities of underground groups like the Communist Party of India (Maoist).[1] For the past ten years, it has grown mostly from displaced tribals and natives who are fighting against exploitation from major Indian corporations and local officials whom they believe to be corrupt.[citation needed]
In 2006 India's intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing estimated that 20,000 armed-cadre Naxalites were operating in addition to 50,000 regular cadres[2] and their growing influence prompted Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to declare them to be the most serious internal threat to India's national security.[3] Naxalites, and other anti-government militants, are often referred to as "ultras".[4]
In February 2009, the Indian Central government announced a new nationwide initiative, to be called the "Integrated Action Plan" (IAP) for broad, co-ordinated operations aimed at dealing with the Naxalite problem in all affected states (namely Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal). Importantly, this plan included funding for grass-roots economic development projects in Naxalite-affected areas, as well as increased special police funding for better containment and reduction of Naxalite influence in these areas.[5][6]
In 2009, Naxalites were active across approximately 180 districts in ten states of India.[7] In August 2010, after the first full year of implementation of the national IAP program, Karnataka was removed from the list of Naxalite-affected states.[8] In July 2011, the number of Naxalite-affected areas was reduced to 83 districts in nine states (including 20 additional districts).[9][10][11] In December 2011, the national government reported that the number of Naxalite-related deaths and injuries nationwide had gone down by nearly 50% from 2010 levels.[12]
The term Naxalites comes from Naxalbari, a small village in West Bengal, where a section of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI-M) led by Kanu Sanyal,and Jangal Santhal initiated a violent uprising in 1967. On 18 May 1967, the Siliguri Kishan Sabha, of which Jangal was the president, declared their support for the movement initiated by Kanu Sanyal and readiness to adopt armed struggle to redistribute land to the landless.[13] The following week, a sharecropper near Naxalbari village was attacked by the landlord's men over a land dispute. On 24 May, when a police team arrived to arrest the peasant leaders, it was ambushed by a group of tribals led by Jangal Santhal, and a police inspector was killed in a hail of arrows. This event encouraged many Santhal tribals and other poor people to join the movement and to start attacking local landlords.[14]
These conflicts go back to the failure of implementing the 5th & 9th Schedules of the Constitution of India. See Outlook India comment by E.N. Rammohan 'Unleash the Good Force' - edition July 16, 2012. In theory these Schedules provide for a limited form of tribal autonomy with regard to exploiting natural resources on their lands, e.g. pharmaceutical & mining, and 'land ceiling laws', limiting the land to be possessed by landlords and distribution of excess land to landless farmers & labourers. The caste system is another important social aspect of these conflicts.
Mao Zedong provided ideological leadership for the Naxalbari movement, advocating that Indian peasants and lower class tribals overthrow the government and upper classes by force. A large number of urban elites were also attracted to the ideology, which spread through Charu Majumdar's writings, particularly the 'Historic Eight Documents' which formed the basis of Naxalite ideology.[15]
At the time, the leaders of this revolt were members of the CPI(M), which joined a coalition government in West Bengal just a few months back. Leaders like land minster Hare Krishna Konar had been until recently "trumpeting revolutionary rhetoric, suggesting that militant confiscation of land was integral to the party's programme."[16] However, now that they were in power, CPI(M) did not approve of the armed uprising, and all the leaders and a number of Calcutta sympathizers were expelled from the party.
Subsequently, In November 1967, this group, led by Sushital Ray Chowdhury, organized the All India Coordination Committee of Communist Revolutionaries (AICCCR).[17] Violent uprisings were organized in several parts of the country. On April 22 1969 (Lenin's birthday), the AICCCR gave birth to the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) (CPI(ML)).
Practically all Naxalite groups trace their origin to the CPI(ML). A separate offshoot from the beginning was the Maoist Communist Centre, which evolved out of the Dakshin Desh group. The MCC later fused with the People's War Group to form the Communist Party of India (Maoist). A third offshoot was that of the Andhra revolutionary communists, mainly represented by the UCCRI(ML), following the mass line legacy of T. Nagi Reddy, which broke with the AICCCR at an early stage.
During the 1970s, the movement was fragmented into disputing factions. By 1980, it was estimated that around 30 Naxalite groups were active, with a combined membership of 30,000.[18]
Violence in West Bengal[edit]
Circa 1971 the Naxalites gained a strong presence among the radical sections of the student movement in Calcutta.[19] Students left school to join the Naxalites. Majumdar, to entice more students into his organisation, declared that revolutionary warfare was to take place not only in the rural areas as before, but everywhere and spontaneously. Thus Majumdar declared an "annihilation line", a dictum that Naxalites should assassinate individual "class enemies" (such as landlords, businessmen, university teachers, police officers, politicians of the right and left) and others.[20][21]
Throughout Calcutta, schools were shut down. Naxalites took over Jadavpur University and used the machine shop facilities to make pipe guns to attack the police. Their headquarters became Presidency College, Kolkata.[22] The Naxalites found supporters among some of the educated elite, and Delhi's prestigious St. Stephen's College, alma mater of many contemporary Indian leaders and thinkers, became a hotbed of Naxalite activities.
The chief minister, Siddhartha Shankar Ray of the Congress Party, instituted strong counter-measures against the Naxalites. The West Bengal police fought back to stop the Naxalites. The house of Somen Mitra, the Congress MLA of Sealdah, was allegedly turned into a torture chamber where Naxal students from Presidency College and CU were incarcerated illegally by police and the Congress cadres. CPI-M cadres were also involved in the "state terror". After suffering losses and facing the public rejection of Majumdar's "annihilation line", the Naxalites alleged human rights violations by the West Bengal police, who responded that the state was effectively fighting a civil war and that democratic pleasantries had no place in a war, especially when the opponent did not fight within the norms of democracy and civility.[14]
Large sections of the Naxal movement began to question Majumdar's leadership. In 1971 the CPI(ML) was split, as the Satyanarayan Singh revolted against Majumdar's leadership. In 1972 Majumdar was arrested by the police and died in Alipore Jail. His death accelerated the fragmentation of the movement.
In a 2004 Indian Home Ministry estimate, their numbers were placed at that time at "9,300 hardcore underground cadre… [holding] around 6,500 regular weapons beside a large number of unlicensed country-made arms".[23] In 2006, according to Judith Vidal-Hall, "Figures (in that year) put the strength of the movement at 15,000, and claim the guerrillas control an estimated one fifth of India's forests, as well as being active in 160 of the country's 604 administrative districts."[24] India's Research and Analysis Wing believed in 2006 that 20,000 Naxals were involved in the growing insurgency.[2]
Today, some Naxalite groups have become legal organisations participating in parliamentary elections, such as the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation, the Communist Party of India (Maoist) and the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Janashakti.
On April 6, 2010 Naxalites launched the most deadly assault in the history of the Naxalite movement by killing 76 security personnel. The attack was launched by up to 1,000 Naxalites[25][26] in a well-planned attack, killing an estimated 76 CRPF policemen in two separate ambushes and wounding 50 others, in the remote jungles of Chhattisgarh's Dantewada district in Eastern/Central India. On 17 May, Naxals blew up a bus on Dantewda–Sukhma road in Chhattisgarh, killing 15 policemen and 20 civilians. In the third Major attack by Naxals on 29 June, at least 26 personnel of the CRPF were killed in Narayanpur district of Chhattisgarh.
Despite the 2010 Chhattisgarh ambushes, the most recent central government campaign to contain and reduce the militant Naxalite presence appears to be having some success.[12] States such as Madhya Pradesh have reported significant reduction in Naxalite activities as a result of their use of IAP funds for rural development within their states.[27] The recent success in containing violence may be due to a combination of more state presence, but also due to the recent introduction of social security schemes, such as NREGA.[28]
In late 2011, Kishenji, the military leader of Communist Party of India (Maoist), was killed in an encounter with the joint operation forces, which was a huge blow to the Naxalite movement in eastern India.[29]
In March 2012 Maoist rebels kidnapped two Italians in the eastern Indian state of Odisha, the first time Westerners were abducted there.[30] 12 CRPF personnel were killed on March 27, 2012 in a landmine blast triggered by suspected Naxalites in Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra.[31]
Most recently on 25 May 2013, Naxalites attacked a rally led by the Indian National Congress in Sukma village in Bastar Chhatisgarh, killing about 29 people. They killed senior party leader Mahendra Karma and Nand Kumar Patel and his son while in the attack another senior party leader Vidya Charan Shukla was severely wounded and later succumbed to his injuries on the 11th June. See: 2013 Maoist attack in Darbha Valley.[32]
On 11 March 2014, Naxalites in Chhattisgarh ambushed a security team, killing 15 personnel, 11 of whom were from the CRPF. A civilian was also killed.[33]

Our Position
People with disabilities can, and do, work in all areas of the American workforce. They thrive when they fully participate in their communities, and in turn, the nation thrives. However, statistics show that many people with disabilities remain unemployed or under-employed. In addition, thousands of people with disabilities are being paid less than the minimum wage and/or work in isolation and segregation in programs which lead them nowhere.
The Client Assistance Program (CAP) and other Protection and Advocacy programs are working at the state and local level to change these outcomes. The National Disability Rights Network is advocating at the federal level with Congress and the Administration to make changes in laws, regulations, policies and practices to further the ability of people with disabilities to be employed in integrated environments at competitive wages.
Taking Action
Segregated and Exploited. In reports released in 2011 and 2012, NDRN found a total failure of the disability service system to provide quality work for people with disabilities. The reports blast segregated work, sheltered environments and low wages for people with disabilities and highlight a massive breakdown between good federal and state policies and their implementation and oversight. Read NDRN's scathing reports: Segregated and Exploited (2011) and Beyond Segregated and Exploited (2012).
Ever hear someone say "People with disabilities can't compete in the job market" or "Some people are just too disabled to work." We hear it all the time and, frankly, we're getting kind of tired of it. Here are some answers to many of the common myths people believe about employment of people with disabilities. Help us set the record straight!
NDRN recently submitted statements in support of competitive integrated employment for two hearings regarding employment of people with disabilities.
Read the House testimony
Read the Senate testimony
Know Your Rights
A variety of federal and state laws exist to protect people with disabilities from discrimination in employment. Check out NDRN's Employment Discrimination Law page.

CALL FOR SOLAR … Even as we bicker over higher stick-ups at the gas pumps, it's unbelievable that the Beltway federales can't seem to make the connection that developing our own alternative energy sources (sun, wind, geothermal) – coupled with Yankee efficiency and Cowboy resourcefulness (to scale back our truly wasteful and extravagantly out-of-control energy usage) – could substantially decrease our imbalanced trade demands for imported oil from the Middle East, Mexico or Venezuela. To do that we have to spend some on the R&D side that we've neglected since Raygun shut down Carter's tax credit initiatives that could have gotten us as a nation on the road to self-sufficiency 40 years ago … Nope. The Corporate Republicans don't get it. They want to shut down the solar tax credits, and squeeze the alternative energy industry. While maintaining huge "hidden" subsidies for coal and oil and gas companies … What subsidies? Take those powers of condemnation, like the fast-track process that was just going on here with the Department of Energy and is now already over. The county raised a ruckus over los federales proposing powerline and pipeline pre-approved public land energy corridors in eleven western states (that may or may not affect private properties sometime in the future). Grace Herndon did a great job of explaining it all in a recent column … We were luck this time. We got Big Government (feds) to listen to Little Government (locals) and move things around a bit to better accommodate local on-the-ground conditions (like Gunnison Sage Grouse leks and future scenic homesites) … But by not renewing solar credits on the national level this year, our congresspeople will save some pennies for the national treasury but cost us future millions. Slashing solar tax credits in 2008, as currently planned, is a very dumb, long-term, price-inflating move for transportation costs in this country. So, pay attention to this one. Make it an election issue. D.C. has got to get us in synch developing American jobs in solar and wind by providing some upfront subsidies to match the hidden subsidies that coal and oil and gas all enjoy currently in the very unlevel playing field.
MORE ON ROOF WATER … It appears that Colorado Senate Bill 119 this session, which Sen. Chris Romer (D-Denver) and Rep. Marsha Looper (R-El Paso) sponsored, has taken everyone by surprise. Not much hoopla surrounding the change. But this corrects what has been an embarrassing reality for rural homeowners and back-to-the-landers far off the grid – using water off the roof has been illegal in Colorado. Not so anymore. But not everyone appears to understand the new law yet, and information about it was a little hard to come by … When I called the Dept. of Water Resources, they said the bill was held up this session, and had not passed. But my sources said different. So I went with last week's item in this column. And after checking state websites, I found the bill was indeed signed into law by Gov. Ritter on May 29 … It's a watershed change for many rural folks, like myself, who don't connect to a water provider, who have their own wells, and who would like to collect the water off their roof into a cistern and use it for fire protection, to water a garden or to satisfy the thirst of livestock … As of July 1, it's now legal to do so. And, from what I can figure out, you don't need no stinking permits. Even better, your cistern can be 5,000 gallons, not the 3,000 gallons I mentioned last week. The roof has to be a single-family home used as a private residence. You can't be connected to any water district or water provider. A pilot project is also being set up with a Water Resources Review Committee, but that doesn't affect rural folks … The new Colorado law is the good news here, as rural homeowners suddenly have a whole new legal source of water for storage on their property.
FOOD HOARDING … The international bankers and brokers call it futurities. Buy low, sell high. And on the world capitalist market, commodities sold on futures market that can be stored for later sale go up significantly in price over time, especially in unstable periods of war, skyrocketing energy prices, shortages, recession, bear markets … No end of ominous signs as we enter this second millennium of the Christian Era. The Holy Wars appear to be returning. Crusades. Jihad. Freedom fighters. Suicide bombers. Patriots. Terrorists … And in spite of us living close to the middle of the world's most prosperous nation, it's hard to feel safe 9/11. Will Bush/Cheney/Halliburton unleash our surrogate ally Israel for an attack on Iran's nuclear ambitions? How easily that could push the (perhaps inevitable) world energy confrontation to its logical conclusion, WWIII – the fight for who will retain dominance of the Middle East oil fields? … In Neocon-think it's better to have this confrontation sooner rather than later, as we are relatively strong right now, in spite of fighting two foreign wars on multiple fronts; and they have used the nation's Bush League leadership (sic) to get us to the very verge of that apocalypse … Others think we can appease and democratize and even harmonize different peoples and nations and customs into some sort of world body of united enemies where nuclear proliferation can be worked out without bloodshed and energy reserves can be equally shared … It's no wonder we have so many intractable problems in these times. The problems involve exceedingly complex systems with multiple dynamic closed loops operating simultaneously, spinning into one another, knocking elements loose, sometimes creating – thanks to that divine principle of Heisenberg's random whatever – those perfect storms of non-intentional integrating synchronicities. Some good. Some bad … But if I were you, I'd start learning how to grow a garden where you live.
BEES … As if colony collapse disorder weren't bad enough, a recent accident on the Canadian autobahn spilled millions of bees being transported for pollenization … Still, I keep seeing bees in my garden here in California. And I hope you're seeing them in Colorado … Without bees, agriculture is doomed. People sometimes forget that humans co-evolved with plants and insects and other animals, and what we see on this planet, whether weeds or endangered species, are co-evolving with us, because of us … Bees are us. Grouse are us. Thistles are us.

of course we get in
a lot of wars we were
born in revolution
we declared our
our freedom from
colonial rule
made our own way
on the high seas
we empower
our citizenry
to be armed
we have a vision
a dream of democracy
if still a work in progress
but our achilles heel
like in any family
comes when we squabble
over our differences

Researchers Find Genes Linked to High Risk of Eating Disorders
People with certain rare gene mutations have significantly higher risks of developing an eating disorder.
It has long been known that eating disorders run in families, but a new study finally pinpoints two genes that significantly increase a person's risk for developing anorexia nervosa and bulimia.
[READ: Same Genes May Cause Alcohol Abuse and Eating Disorders]
Typically, research has focused on studying a large number of people to find small genetic variants that may contribute to the risk of developing an eating disorder. But scientists from the University of Iowa and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center took the opposite approach: they studied single families in which eating disorders were common across generations. They found that people with mutations in two different genes – ESRRA and HDAC4 – had a 90 percent and 85 percent chance of developing an eating disorder, respectively.
"Probably the most useful thing is that it will allow us to study the neurobiology, the underlying cause of eating disorders, and try to find new ways to boost the pathway to prevent them," says Michael Lutter, an assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Iowa and the senior author of the study.
Lutter says the scientists believe this pathway, where both genes are found, works in the brain to increase a person's desire for food when they have an increased need for calories. But when the genes are mutated, they can block a person's ability to want to eat.
Although the mutations are rare (about one in 1,000 have the ESRRA mutation, and just two in 10,000 have the HDAC4 mutation) they significantly increase a person's risk for developing an eating disorder. In those subjects with the ESRRA mutation, 90 percent developed an eating disorder, and six out of seven people with the HDAC4 mutation had one.
What's more, Lutter says the people who had the mutations but did not show signs of an eating disorder were very young. "It might just be that they're not old enough yet to develop it," Lutter says.
Eating disorders are also particularly common among women: anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa affect between 1 percent and 3 percent of women, the study says.
[ALSO: What Is Binge Eating Disorder?]
Leslie Sim, a clinical child psychologist at the Mayo Clinic, says these findings could provide relief to families and parents, who often blame themselves for a child's eating disorder.
"We're really starting to see this as a true biological illness, where essentially we're seeing these kids sharing these temperament predispositions that likely places them at risk," says Sim, who serves as the clinical director of the Mayo Clinic's eating disorders program. "So often parents are really looking for what they did to cause the eating disorder. And I think now we can pretty much definitively say the only thing they did was provide their genetic contributions."
Often times, Sim says, children and adolescents who develop eating disorders share certain characteristics, such as a high level of anxiety, a strong desire to avoid harm and danger, a fear of making mistakes and a drive for perfection.
"They do not like uncertainty. They like predictability. They like to structure what's going to happen in their day," Sim says. "This really can set the stage for utilizing food and controlling weight and shape because it adds a whole other layer of simplicity to their life. It's a road map for more certainty. For them, the ultimate threat is getting fat or gaining weight."
Still, Lutter and Sim say environmental factors do play a role in the development of these disorders. Between 50 percent and 70 percent of the risk of developing an eating disorder is genetic, and 30 percent to 50 percent of the risk is considered environmental, Lutter says.
"The most obvious environmental cause is the Western ideal of thinness and beauty," Lutter says. "In cultures in which thinness is prized, there are much higher rates of eating disorders."
[EAT+RUN BLOG: When a 'Healthy Diet' Is Anything But]
Sim says the prevalence of dieting, particularly among women, can add to a person's predisposition and propel them into an eating disorder.

Chris Benz - New York Fall 2009
View Gallery
(NEW YORK) Quirky-cool Chris Benz's former messy magpie girl did some growing up for his Fall 2009 collection. Sure, there were still hit trademarks like super-bright, mismatched colors and furs for the downtown girl-about-town, but there were also trousers and blazers, cocktail-ready dresses, and more black--" which we don't do often, or at least haven't done in the past," Benz admitted. It made for a sellable and no less charming collection. "It's sort of about late '70s, early '80s, a nostalgia for a shaky New York, and optimism for going out and dressing up and escaping into the downtown," he said. "I wanted the collection to be very New York. It's about throwing on your favorite dress and a big fur coat and trucking it downtown."

|Assistant Coach Eduardo Rincon
Courtesy: Arkansas
Eduardo Rincon joined the Razorbacks as the assistant coach for men's tennis in the summer of 2008. He has made an impact on the program and is highly respected among colleges and coaches. His experience and expertise make him a key factor to the success of the Razorback program.
Since arriving at Arkansas, Rincon has helped coach two All-Southeastern Conference selections in Blake Strode and Chris Nott, and one All-American (Strode). Strode earned All-SEC and All-America honors in 2009 and Nott was named All-SEC for two straight years (2010, 2011). During his All-America year, Strode advanced to the semifinals of the NCAA Individual Championship. He also finished that same year ranked No. 13 by ITA.
Since 2008, Rincon has been part of a Razorback team that has tallied 38 wins, including six conference victories.
Prior to Arkansas, Rincon worked for three years as the assistant women's tennis coach at the University of Alabama.
As the Alabama assistant, Rincon coached Robin Stephenson and Ashley Bentley, who earned first-team All-SEC honors, while Mari Muller was named to the all-conference second team in 2006. Robinson received an invitation to the 2006 NCAA Singles Championship where she teamed with Bentley to earn a spot in the NCAA Doubles Championship that same season. Stephenson finished the year with a No. 24 singles ranking, while she and Bentley were No. 18 in the final ITA doubles rankings.
Successful in his playing career as well, Rincon was a three-time All-American at Valdosta State. To compliment his three All-America selections, he was awarded the Mid-South Conference Player of the Year honor in 2002.
As a senior in 2005, he finished with top-five rankings in both singles and doubles and won the 2004 ITA/Arthur Ashe Leadership and Sportsmanship Award. He reached No. 1 ranking in both singles and doubles at different points during his career.
For his accomplishments on and off the court, Rincon was also named the 2004 Male Athlete of the Year at Valdosta State.
In February of 2010, Valdosta State gave Rincon its highest honor by being inducted into the school's sports hall of fame.
His playing career also featured appearances in ATP Tour events. As a native of Colombia, he played in the Davis Cup from 1997-2001 for his country where he competed against players like former world No. 1 Marcelo Rios and Guillermo Canas, who has been ranked as high as No. 8 in his career. During that same span, he played on the satellite and challenger levels in over 30 countries. Rincon has also held ATP rankings in both singles and doubles.
Born March 22, 1976, Rincon is married to the former Rosemary Ramsey. The couple has two daughters, Ana Maria (3) and Kathryn Christina (1). Tennis is a large part of Rincon's family. His brother Mario is the head coach of the men's tennis team at the University of Miami, and he and brother José have worked with world-class tennis players including Mary Pierce and Anna Kournikova.

Celtic Nights' brings 'Journey of Hope' to RutlandBy Art Edelstein
Arts Correspondent | March 06,2013The world has been enthralled with Irish step dancing, traditional song and music in a unified theatrical production since the 1994 introduction of Riverdance at the Eurovision Song contest. So influential was that and subsequent productions that a new theatrical experience based on the Irish experience was spawned leading to more Irish-based companies of musicians and dancers presenting newer productions with more stories to tell.
Rutland is about to host one of the most successful troupes, Celtic Nights, at the Paramount Theatre at 8 p.m. Friday, March 15, and it promises to continue that tradition of fine entertainment emanating from Ireland.
For those who are fans of Irish music this is an opportunity to renew your interest in wonderful singing and Irish step dancing by attending this production, titled "Journey of Hope."
For those who are unfamiliar with this style of entertainment, it's a chance to watch the Irish do what they often do best in entertainment – sing with lovely voices, and dance energetically to the unique music of their tradition.
This production features six of Ireland's most prominent vocal talents complemented by six of its most accomplished step dancers. Their aim is to create an exciting picture of the proud people the Irish are, whose dream of a better life helped them carve out a home in the New World.
The production draws from the history and folklore of Ireland and her Celtic cousins. Celtic Nights brings the audience on a journey of a people leaving and arriving, their lives spent in a world of ships, trains and planes, coaches and horses, and on foot; coming and going, saving for fares, writing of where they were, comparing what they had with what they might have elsewhere, visiting others, always moving on the surface of a foreign land, meeting, conversing, comparing and searching for a place better than Ireland – or half as good.
Songs in this show include such old favorites as "Danny Boy," "Isle of Hope," "Galway Bay" and "Isle of Innisfree," along with "My Love Is in America" and "May We Never Have to Say Goodbye."
The story of Irish emigration from a poverty-stricken land is well known. People dominated by a ruling foreign power, the English, lived a second-class life in their own country. Most scratched out a bare-bones existence as crofters in near feudal conditions well into the middle of the 19th century. While thousands had left to seek a better life earlier, by the 1850s, it took a potato famine to give an even greater impetus for them to leave their native shores.
The Irish diaspora spread to America, Canada and Australia, where these hard working people helped build their adopted nations' infrastructure, as well as their political foundations. The Irish formed whole regiments for the North during the Civil War and many of these same veterans then went west to build the transcontinental railroad. In the process of immigrating the Irish entered politics, helped change long established institutions while also greatly influencing the culture of their new country with music, song, poetry, and prose. In the U.S., one of their descendents became President.
Irish music, which had always been popular where large communities of Irish-Americans resided – New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago – saw an upsurge of popularity in the 1980s, one that has remained strong for the past three decades. Owing much to a few music groups like Planxty Altan, the music became more international as these bands toured. This has increasingly familiarized audiences with the sound and songs of Ireland.
Irish-Americans began performing outside their communities and many non-Irish started learning to play the fiddle, the penny whistle, box accordion and flute while others took up the traditional dance known as step dancing. Movies like "Coming to America" and "Titanic" brought the music to wide audiences.
While March 17, St. Patrick's Day, has become virtually a national holiday in the United States, and the wearing of the green is now an inter-ethnic, multi-cultural phenomenon, the music and dance that the Irish experience encompasses is a year round source of entertainment.
Celtic Nights' "Journey of Hope," while presented just before St. Patrick's Day here in Rutland, is more than simply an annual symbolic event to celebrate Irish culture and experience. The songs and dances these fine performers will present have a universality of theme that encompasses most Americans' experience. Immigrants from all nations will feel empathy with the theme of this production and see their own dreams and fears in those of the Irish portrayed in this two-hour evening of entertainment.
Paramount Theatre
The Paramount Theatre presents Celtic Nights in "Journey of Hope," an evening of Irish music and step dancing, at 8 p.m. Friday, March 15, at the theater, 30 Center St. in Rutland. Tickets are $38.50-$29.50 (plus tax); call 775-0903, or go online to www.paramountlive.org.MORE IN This Just InTODAY'S WEATHER MINUTE: Soil beneath Greenland ice sheet predates dawn of mankind, Hitch faces true Hollawood problem head-on, Mark Twain on school boards, all in today's minute. 0Rutland Herald content editor Rich Alcott shares local weather information and easily digestible...

Smeargle is one of the most curious and interesting Pokemon in UU. At first sight, its abysmal stats may make you wonder why anyone would ever use Smeargle. That question is answered by Smeargle's ability to learn almost every move in the game, which gives it a plethora of options and makes it incredibly difficult to counter. With a little skill, it can catch opponents completely by surprise. However, with minuscule Attack and Special Attack stats, Smeargle is often limited to using passive, non-attacking moves, leaving it vulnerable to Taunt. With its horrible defensive stats, almost any attack can OHKO or 2HKO Smeargle, and it won't be outspeeding much of the metagame either. At times, you may even wonder if you started the match with a score of 6-5! Despite this, by playing carefully and intelligently, Smeargle can become a blessing for your team.
Despite its horrible stats, Smeargle's ability to learn every single boosting move in the game makes it a great user of Baton Pass. The most dangerous boosting move on this set is Shell Smash, a godly move that doubles Smeargle's (and its recipient's) offensive stats and Speed. This is very useful to have on offensive teams, which can use the boosts to smash through the opponent's team. Shell Smash is also a great boon to mixed attackers, since they would otherwise require two boosting moves to increase both offensive stats. However, Shell Smash also lowers Smeargle's Defense and Special Defense stat by one stage, so it is forced to use White Herb to remedy this. Smeargle may choose to pass on Quiver Dance or Shift Gear instead; each move is more specialized towards special and physical attacks, respectively, but they do not have the drawback of Shell Smash's stat drops.
The real ace in the hole for this set, however, is Spore. Smeargle is the only Pokemon who can use both Baton Pass and a perfectly accurate sleep move, which makes it very troublesome for opponents to deal with. Spore not only gives Smeargle time to set up, but also gives its receiver a major advantage and cripples the foe's team. Substitute is recommended on the last moveslot since it blocks troublesome status conditions and helps Smeargle to survive attacks. However, all Baton Pass teams fear moves such as Roar and Whirlwind, which completely removes all of Smeargle's and its receiver's boosts. Ingrain will prevent this nightmare from happening, but keep in mind that it will prevent you from manually switching Smeargle and its recipient out, so it may become a liability if you make a mistake during the match.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Despite being relatively slow, Smeargle's access to Spore makes it a reliable suicide spiker. This set is quite simple to use; simply send out Smeargle as your lead Pokemon. Focus Sash should prevent Smeargle from being knocked out on the first turn, so use Spore on the foe, and proceed to set up as many layers of Spikes as possible. If another Pokemon uses Taunt or a status move on Smeargle, however, then Smeargle might be forced to switch out. To remedy this, Magic Coat is listed to punish such Pokemon. Smeargle may also have time to set up additional hazards, such as Stealth Rock, as well. This reduces the need of having another Pokemon to set up Stealth Rock on your team, and with two different entry hazards on the foe's side, Smeargle's offensive teammates will have a field day. However, after using Spore and setting up a few layers of Spikes, Smeargle becomes a liability to your team. In order to maximize its usefulness, you may wish to use Endeavor over Stealth Rock on the fourth moveslot instead.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Smeargle can literally use any and all sets that you can think of. Unfortunately, its horrible stats prevent it from doing most of them effectively. All viable alternative moves that the Baton Pass and Spikes set could pull off are already listed under Additional Comments. Other Pokemon will often outclass Smeargle for the role of a certain set. For example, Smeargle could run a dual screen set, and while access to Spore gives it an advantage, Pokemon such as Uxie and Cresselia have much more bulk, and therefore do the job better. You are free to experiment by coming up with your own sets, but the two sets listed above are usually the best way to go.
Checks and Counters
With its frail defenses, just about any Pokemon can OHKO or 2HKO Smeargle. However, almost every single Smeargle set you will encounter will use Spore, which can be detrimental to your team and is tricky to get around. One solution is to have a Pokemon who can use Taunt and is faster than Smeargle, such as Aerodactyl and Crobat. Taunt not only prevents Smeargle from using Spore, it also forces the painter out since it rarely carries an attacking move. Priority attacks can also screw Smeargle over. Hitmontop and Ambipom can destroy Smeargle's Focus Sash with Fake Out and then use a priority move for the kill. A more specialized solution would be to use Pokemon that do not mind Spore, such as RestTalk users or Pokemon with the Insomnia ability, such as Honchkrow. Otherwise, sacrifice your least valuable Pokemon to take the sleep and then send out another teammate to knock out Smeargle. The Baton Pass set can be stopped by Haze users, such as Crobat and Milotic. Quagsire's Unaware ability allows it to ignore the boost Smeargle passes to its recipient, and phaze them out with Yawn or Toxic.

On Wednesday, April 24, 2013 the U.S. Marshalls assisted Tempe Police arrest Antonio Julio Sanchez in Miami, Florida who has been in hiding since 2002 after being convicted of two counts of sexual assault and two counts of kidnapping. On March 18, 2001 Antonio Sanchez and his cousin Mazon Diamond drugged a female while at a bar then took her to their apartment in Tempe where they sexually assaulted her and videotaped the assault. On March 23, 2001 Both Sanchez and Diamond again drugged another victim who they took to their apartment and sexually assaulted her, videotaping the assault.
In September 2002, both Sanchez and Diamond plead guilty to both assaults and failed to appear for sentencing and have been on the run for over a decade. In 2011 a Tempe Detective assigned to our fugitive apprehension squad began looking through old Tempe cases that had gone to fugitive status and found the arrest warrants for both Antonio Sanchez and Mazon Diamond. Our fugitive apprehension squad immediately began an attempt to locate for both suspects.
Tempe Detectives did extensive follow-up and investigating trying to locate both fugitives, to include contacting the retired Tempe detective that was assigned this case. Detectives began working jointly with the U.S. Marshall Service and were able to locate several possible locations the suspect was hiding to include Utah, Texas and Florida. The U.S. Marshall Service was critical in this investigation and assisting in follow up in these other states.
On April 24, 2013 the Deputy U.S. Marshall and Tempe Detective that began this investigation with the assistance of the U.S. Marshall Service located and arrested Antonio Julio Sanchez in Miami, Florida. Sanchez was using the alias of Antonio Anderson Erin Pina.
With the joint partnership of the U.S. Marshall Service and the Tempe Police Department this dangerous criminal was taken off the street and will now have to face the punishment for these vicious crimes he committed over 10 years ago. Mazon Diamond is still in hiding and being sought after.

Charitable Beauty1 of 10
By Zoe Schaeffer
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and there are tons of ways to help fight the disease. Glo rounded up a handful of beauty goods that give back to the cause, whether by donating to research or to family support centers. We think these charitable products will make you look and feel that much more beautiful.
Charmed, I'm Sure2 of 10
One of these iconic moisturizers sells every five seconds around the world. And if that doesn't convince newbies that it's the bomb, then they might be won over by this month's limited edition pink ribbon version, complete with its very own little charm necklace.
SHOP NOW: Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion, $35
Baby Gives Back3 of 10
We're convinced that this line's commitment to the most natural ingredients makes it ideal for baby. This mini-collection (featuring organic aroma-therapeutic bubble bath, massage oil and a spritzer) donates to a breast cancer research program with purchase. (And cue baby clapping!)
SHOP NOW: California Baby "I Love You" Collection, from $12.49
Kiss, Kiss4 of 10
This special-edition gloss has both an SPF and a long-lasting formula that promises six hours of super-shine. And the universally flattering shade is a whispering pink, an ode to the ribbon itself.
SHOP NOW: Smashbox Limitless Long Wearing Lip Gloss, $21
What a Scrub5 of 10
So worth the hype, this much-buzzed-about scrubber brightens skin while cleansing. This month it gets a girly makeover in pink and donations on sales go to a program that helps women gain confidence during breast cancer treatment.
SHOP NOW: Clarisonic Mia Sonic Skin cleansing System, $149
Easy Tweezy6 of 10
Those furious plucking sessions get meaningful this month with this limited edition cotton candy-colored tweezer. This month a dollar of each sale is donated to multiple breast cancer charities, making tugging those unwanted hairs even more necessary.
SHOP NOW: Tweezerman "Precision in Pink" Slant Tweezers, $20
Essential Oil7 of 10
This vegan serum, packed with omega-3 fatty acids, replaces moisture by balancing your skin's oil. Natural skin-clearing stuff like sage and celery essential oils help squash breakouts while peppermint revs up circulation. We liken it to a vitamin-packed smoothie — but for your face.
SHOP NOW: Sonya Dakar "Pink" Organic Omega Booster, $42
Spray It Loud8 of 10
We love a good spray when it holds hair in place but still manages to keep it soft. And this one can take the heat: It withstands both a blowout and repeated brushing.
SHOP NOW: Bumble and Bumble Spray de Mode Hairspray, $25
Clean Slate9 of 10
This exotic cleanser is packed with botanical extracts to fight environmental stresses. Even better, antioxidant-packed African red tea, the prime ingredient, strengthens the skin to help slow aging. And even better than that, 25 percent of the proceeds go to a free support center for cancer patients and their families.
SHOP NOW: Ole Henriksen African Red Tea Foaming Cleanser, $30
Soak It Up10 of 10
Fighting grease in public is never a good look. Thankfully, these petal-pink blotting linens take care of that unwanted shine when you're on the go. And they're infused with rose essence for that little extra pick-me-up.
