The passenger train, the Gyaneshwari Express 2102, was traveling from   Kolkata, in eastern India, to a suburb of Mumbai, on India's west coast, when it   derailed and collided with an oncoming cargo train. An 18-inch section of track   was missing, according to a statement from the Home Ministry in New Delhi. There   were conflicting reports of whether an improvised explosive device also was   used.Maoist leaders, who rarely claim responsibility immediately after attacks,   couldn't be reached for comment Friday.District official Shubhanjan Das said by late Friday night 73 passengers were   dead, and more than 200 injured had been taken to local hospitals for treatment.   Mr. Das said efforts were still continuing late Friday night to remove bodies   from four remaining coaches. The rebels, known as Naxalites after the village of Naxalbari in West Bengal   where the insurgency was hatched in 1967, have been stepping up their attacks   recently and have begun targeting civilians as well as police and government   paramilitary forces. The Maoists dominate swaths of central India's impoverished   states.
The Maoists, who seek to overthrow the Indian government, have stepped up   attacks recently. In April, they killed 76 security personnel in the Dantewada   district of Chhattisgarh state, the highest single death toll of the   insurgency.
The district where the derailment took place, Paschim Medinipur, is one of   the most heavily Naxalite-affected districts in West Bengal. It is   underdeveloped, with dense forests along the state borders with Orissa and   Jharkhand, two eastern Indian states where the insurgents also have a strong   grip.
"We have these people coming from these states, attack here and run back to   those states," Mr. Das said. "Stopping them from moving freely across the state   borders is a challenge that the local administration has been facing."
Five fingers shoes -- Are they the  closest shoes to running barefoot or fivefingers running shoes at http://www.fivefingersrunning.com? Barefoot running is on the rise, as it  should be. For many people, it is healthier and more enjoyable than running in  big clunky, supportive running shoes.
 The recent surge in interest in barefoot  running is largely the result of Christopher McDougall’s book Born to Run. In  it, McDougall weaves a well-written, fascinating tale about the Tarahumara  Indians of Mexico’s remote Copper Canyon who can run ultra marathon distances   in flimsy sandals called huaraches (tire tread with leather  straps), and often finish in top place—without running injuries.Vibram fivefingers Kso says they conceived of the Vibram  Five Fingers as an alternative to traditional footwear, and it incorporates.
 
Actually none of this is new. E G Bennett’s In Search of Freedom tells how   waves of refugees have come to Bournemouth, from French Huguenots in the 17th   century to Vietnamese 'Boat People' in the 1980s. Jews fled to safety here in   the 1930s – as did Poles, when Germany and then Russia invaded them. Post-war   Poole already had a 500-strong Polish community. molded EVA  insole and the UGG tall boots insert in the heel provides for major shock absorption,  so you can rest assured that your child is protected as she pushes herself on  the field. These cleats also include the Traxion outsole for grip on hard,  natural and turf surfaces, so your daughter can wear these cleats whenever she  needs to.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has repeatedly referred to the Maoist rebellion   as the greatest internal security threat that India faces. Yet while the   government has deployed more forces to help local police combat rebels and   restore civilian rule, New Delhi has been incapable of quelling the   insurgency.Home Minister P. Chidambaram last week caused a furor when he claimed to have   only a "limited mandate" in fighting the rebels, a remark later clarified to   mean that it was primarily an issue for individual states to handle with help   from the central government.Government officials and rebels have offered to take part in negotiations,   but neither side has met the other's preconditions for talks.
I have written on some  advantages of vibram shoes fromhttp://www.onlineoriginals.org, and perhaps this is why Vibram recently sent me  a pair of their Vibram Five Fingers KSO shoes to try.vibram fivefingers kso are  unique in that they have extremely flexible soles. In fact, the entire shoe is  flexible and truly is the poster child for “minimalist footwear” or minimalist  running shoes."Barefoot technology." That is, the shoes strive to allow you to let your bare  feet control the shoe.According to R. Squadrone  and C.  Gallozzi at the Institute of Sport Medicine and Sport Science in Rome, Italy, vibram shoes may have succeeded. In their research paper“Biomechanical and  physiological comparison of barefoot and two shod conditions in experienced  runners” they found that the movement of the foot and ankle during running when wearing the UGG Boots  from http://www.online-retailer.org/wholesale/Sundance-II-Ugg-... was similar to the movement when running barefoot.
Similarly, a party two weeks ago to introduce Patricia Field’s new Keith   Haring-themed line of clothes looked like a Fashion   Week party should look. Packed into the cavernous new club Good Units,   underneath the Hudson hotel, well-dressed fashion insiders jammed up against   merrymakers from Mars. But in the end the two groups mixed as well as leather   and prunella.
Railways Minister Mamata Banerjee, who arrived at the scene in Paschim   Medinipur Friday morning, said Naxalite rebels damaged the railway tracks,   causing the train to derail, and timed the attack so it would collide with a   cargo train coming in the opposite direction."It was a calculated game," she said on television.The district police said they found posters of a local group that supports   the Naxalites at the site but couldn't say definitively that Naxalites were   behind the sabotage.According to an account of the incident given by the Ministry of Railways,   the driver of the train heard a loud sound as soon as the train left an   intermediate station, after which 13 coaches were derailed, some of them falling   into the path of a goods train coming from the opposite direction.
