Jackie is never far from Porter's thoughts
Astros manager grateful for impact legend has had on his life
HOUSTON -- For Astros manager Bo Porter, the opportunity to honor the legacy of Jackie Robinson goes beyond getting the chance to wear the legend's No. 42 jersey once a year. Porter tries to remind himself constantly of Robinson's impact on the game of baseball and his life.
As an African-American manager, Porter fully understands he wouldn't be where he is today had Robinson not broken the color barrier when he took the field for the Dodgers on April 15, 1947, at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn.
The Astros joined the rest of baseball in donning Robinson's retired No. 42 for Tuesday's game against the Royals.
"It's not something that I woke up today and decided to celebrate Jackie Robinson Day," Porter said. "It's an everyday appreciation. For him to be the first and handle it the way in which he handled it, it allowed me to come after him. "
The Astros hosted a Jackie Robinson Day reception at Minute Maid Park prior to Tuesday's game against the Royals in which Porter, coaches Tarrick Brock and Pat Listach and players Chris Carter, Dexter Fowler, L.J. Hoes and Jerome Williams attended. Porter and Shawn Taylor, who's part of the Astros' ownership group, spoke at the event while addressing a group of kids from the Houston Urban Youth Academy.
They both spoke about the sacrifices Robinson made and the hurdles he had to overcome to become the first black player in the Majors.
"It's probably the greatest day in baseball history," Porter said. "I think you look at not only his accomplishments, but the circumstances in which he had to deal with in order to play day in and day out. When you start to think about the mental strain and the death threats, I don't think anyone can put into words psychologically the effect that it would have on a person. For him to be able to block all that out and go out and perform the way he performed, it's remarkable."
Williams said wearing No. 42 is always an honor, and recalled a part in the movie "42" in which Robinson said he one day hoped all players could wear it.
"Look now," said Williams, who wore the number while playing in Puerto Rico, Venezuela and Mexico. "For the last five or six years, everybody wears 42. That's the kind of legacy he left."
Listach, in his first year on the coaching staff, has a unique tie to Robinson. His grandfather, Nora Listach, played against Robinson while playing center field for the Birmingham Black Barons of the Negro Leagues in the 1940s. His grandfather would tell Listach stories of Negro Leagues stars like Satchel Paige, Buck O'Neil and Josh Gibson while encouraging him to play the game.
In 1992, Listach won the American League Rookie of the Year Award, which is named after Robinson.
"I remember grandfather saying, 'I barnstormed the Negro Leagues because the color of my skin,'" he said. "Hopefully, what Jackie did has opened doors, not only just baseball, but in every aspect of life. There's an open door everywhere now. You can't discriminate, or you're not supposed to. He had a real big impact on my life, and it's an honor. "
Taylor threw out the ceremonial first pitch prior to Tuesday's game wearing a No. 42 Astros jersey. It was an honor for someone who became a successful businessman after growing up in the projects on the south side of Chicago. And he wasn't a White Sox fan. He cheered for the Cubs because his grandfather used to take him to Wrigley Field to see the Cubs play the Cardinals, the team his grandfather grew up cheering for in Alabama.
"He loved the Cardinals because of the black players on the Cardinals," Taylor said. "I just remember growing up in the projects and then to sit behind the dugout as an owner and how much that meant. Fast-forward to today with Jackie Robinson Day, and that was the genesis of it all."
At one time, Taylor owned 33 Taco Bell restaurants in the Houston area and wound up selling the remaining 27 he owned in 2007. He now is a partner in the ownership of three Zaxby's restaurants in the area.
"I've had a lot of success in business and quite frankly I have to admit that I'm pretty sure that of the barriers that have been knocked down over the decades, it started with what he was able to accomplish with the Dodgers," Taylor said.
Porter credits his high school coach in Newark, N.J., Bill Hicks, for introducing him to the story of Robinson.
"He was a history buff and would talk to us about Jackie Robinson and the sacrifices in which he paved for us to have the opportunity we have today," said Porter, who was honored in 2001 as the Rangers' Jackie Robinson Award nominee and got to meet Sharon Robinson, Jackie's daughter.
Fowler wore No. 24 throughout his career -- he wears No. 21 with the Astros because 24 is retired -- for his favorite player, Ken Griffey Jr., but the chance to don 42, even for one day, was even more special.
"It's retired for a reason," he said. "It's an honor to wear it. It only marks one day and you wish you could wear it for the whole full season."

Grapefruit League under way
The Grapefruit League is officially under way, a game this afternoon against the Reds at breezy and very chilly afternoon Bright House Field. Chilly, not as in Alaska but chilly as in not typical for Clearwater. As usual, Ken Mandel is the source on this site for all news stories about the Phillies.
Tomorrow, the Pirates are here and the 1:05 p.m. game will be broadcast on phillies.com, the first 10 such broadcasts.
The Phillies and their opponents will use the designated hitter in each of the first 10 home games this spring. On March 17, the Phillies will play traditional NL baseball against all opponents.
Camp Visitor
Billy DeMars, Phillies coach from 1969 through 1981, stopped by Bright House today. Billly and his wife, Katie, have retired to Clearwater.
49 years ago, Billy managed the Stockton minor league club in the California League.
A young left-handed pitcher made his pro debut that season on Billy's staff, Pat Gillick.
Billy's scouting report on Gillick: "Good curve ball, very good control, good move to first base." Sounds like the fast ball was short.
Carpenter Field
The minor league instructional staff met this afternoon. A week from today, the full camp of 152 minor players will begin daily workouts.
All minor league clubs break camp on March 31, except AAA Lehigh Valley. The IronPigs will leave Florida on March 29 and play the first game at Coca-Cola Field the next afternoon, hosting the Phillies in an exhibition game.
Favre Fan Club
New outfielder Geoff Jenkins is a dead ringer for Brett Favre, the future Hall of Fame quarterback with the Green Bay Packers.
Joe Savery, who had his start rained out last night, idolized Favre as a high school youngster. Savery was a quarterback at Lamar High School in Houston but baseball was his No. 1 love.
Joe's Rookie Diary, a video feature, is on the home page of this site.
Season Ticket Sales
Back in Philly, season tickets at Citizens Bank Park have climbed to the 19,600 level. The team record is 23,700 in 2004 when the park opened. Season ticket plans will remain on sale throughout the early portion of the season.
2 Comments
While I'm personally not a fan of the DH, I think using it in ST for a while is helpful so more positional players can get some action in.
The pitching looks great so far. We expect it from Moyer, but Travis Blackley and Carlos Carrasco also were great. Kyle Kendrick looks good today. With the improved offense (didn't the newcomers look great) and strong pitching, the Phillies have every chance to repeat and go deep into the playoffs!

As we told you earlier — the point of the Chrysler press conference was the unveil of the new 2009 Dodge Ram 1500. But the reason everyone was really outside on a blustery n' cold overcast morning in Detroit was Dodge's running of the cows down Washington Ave. outside of Cobo Hall. Yes, we were there and yes, we caught it on tape and here it is for you to show — without all of the trick truck action. Why? Because for
Jason Vines Chrysler, sometimes the sizzle is the steak.

If you think getting hit in the head with a steel chair is tough, consider life outside the ring for your average professional wrestler.
You're away from your family; you work 20 minutes a day; the rest of the time is spent bored in car, bored in a plane, or bored in a hotel; and a lot of the people you meet want to either stick a beer in your hand or see how tough you really are.
So it's no surprise that occasionally some will find themselves against the mat with Johnny Law (used here as a euphemism for law enforcement, and not the actual wrestler "Johnny Law").
WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair is the latest "sports entertainer" to find himself wrestling with legal issues. Earlier this week, a warrant was issued for his arrest for failure to pay spousal support.
Likely the most bizarre arrest involving a wrestler involved the 450-pound Vader who, while an overseas tour with the WWE in 1997, assaulted the host of "Good Morning Kuwait" on air in a pre-planned stunt that someone apparently forgot to tell the host was in the works.
More common charges are usually related to driving or intoxication offenses.
For a few, wrestling was the way out of their trouble, not the cause. Booker T was arrested and jailed in Harris County, Texas in 1987 for robbing a Wendy's, then went on to a long career with multiple titles in both the WCW and WWE. MVP was jailed for kidnapping as a teen, but also had a successful career with the WWE.

In lieu of a more traditional blog, I thought it would be interesting and potentially helpful to take a stab at answering 5 common questions from friends and family related to Kiva and the broader role of microfinance. While I am, by no means, an authority on microfinance, I hope this sheds some light on Kiva and provides some color on my experiences as a Kiva Fellow.
Is it true that most of the borrowers in Nicaragua and elsewhere are women? If so, what do you think are the reasons for this?
Indeed, 82% of all Kiva loans are directed to women. There are a number of reasons why this is the case. Foremost, many of Kiva's microfinance partners specifically target women or minority groups for extension of credit. Additionally, often in many developing countries, assets are held in the husband's name and thus, it is more difficult for women to obtain credit from more traditional banks. Many women also run small businesses in the informal economy (food, clothing stores) that make good use of microloans.
What are you less than impressed with after being on the ground?
The lack of differentiation among many businesses is somewhat perplexing. While not true for all businesses, many are often selling identical products, at the same price, as the vendor across the street. Furthermore, products often cost the same regardless of location. For example, if there is only general store at a tourist site, it might make sense for the vendor to charge more for that privileged location.
Does Kiva ever grow concerned that those responsible for making lending decisions will deliberately extend credit to friends where a borrower pays the loan officer something in order to get the loan, and neither side ever expects repayment?
Yes, this is certainly a concern but rest assured, Kiva has taken many steps to combat potential conflicts of interest. More importantly, the microfinance institutions ("MFIs") themselves have mechanisms in place that make corruption difficult for any would-be offenders. At Fundación León 2000 (http://www.fundacionleon2000.org/) where I am currently based, for example, loan officers cannot extend credit to family members and multiple credit officials are involved with the loan process. Both Kiva and the MFIs do an excellent job at discouraging corruptive practices, as both parties understand that their credibility is on the line. The effort to increase this sort of transparency is a big reason why the Kiva Fellows program exists in the first place. With the dispersal of fellows throughout the world, Kiva's microfinance partners become more accountable and transparent to all stakeholders. A huge part of being a fellow is confirming that entrepreneurs, their loans and loan terms are correct and are reflected as such for Kiva's lenders. All of these steps are aimed at continually improving the level of transparency throughout the entire loan process and reducing the likelihood of corruptive behavior.
How, if at all, does Kiva try to measure the effects of its lending in particular countries? In other words, can you find some objective measurements from the loans that are made?
This is a very important question and one on which Kiva has spent extensive time. Naturally, after Kiva has scaled the network of microfinance institutions, it has sought to measure the social impact that its loans and partners are creating. This is vital in allowing Kiva to benchmark progress and illustrate the various social benefits that its partners are providing, as well as enabling the MFI to specifically target improvements in its own social performance. Currently, Kiva is in the early stages of reaching out to its partners to fill out an extensive survey that details the MFI's various efforts to target the poor, provide a range of benefits and services to clients, and promote general goals of social responsibility. Currently, I am working with the CFO at Fundación León 2000 on this initiative.
Help me better understand Kiva in a broader context.
Kiva is a hybrid 21st century organization – part tech start-up, non-profit, international NGO, microfinance lender, social enterprise – all rolled up into one. I think it's interesting to think of Kiva as an organization that simply brings together lenders, entrepreneurs and microfinance organizations all across the world – and does so by making the distance between these groups as short as possible. Kiva does this through its impressive technology platform and its Fellowship program, both of which help to bring these stakeholders closer.

Miso Short Rib Bánh mì at Duck N Roll Food Truck
Reviews of Chicago sandwiches.
When Chicago native Amy Le decided she wanted to jump into the trendy food truck scene last year, she drew on years of instruction from her first culinary teacher—her mom. A Vietnamese refuge and now business co-owner, Le's mother and her vast knowledge of traditional Southeast Asian cuisine served as inspiration for what eventually became the Duck n Roll Food Truck. The truck's main focus: traditional Vietnamese bánh mì sandwiches (though there are some other options) that incorporate other flavors more typical of China, Japan, Korea, and Thailand.
Pulling from Japanese flavors, the miso short rib bánh mì ($9.00) struck me as the most intriguing menu item. Boneless beef short ribs are braised in a miso and sake stock, leaving the meet tender, juicy, and tasting slightly of soy. "Asian slaw," comprised of limey red cabbage, bean sprouts, carrots, and cilantro, is piled on top, and everything is shoved inside a crisp baguette. As far as bánh mì sandwiches go, this one wasn't bad; the rib meat was nicely marinated and sweetly tasty, if a little cold. Still, I wish there was more of it filling the rather cumbersomely large baguette. That said the sandwich didn't scare me away from trying Duck n Roll again, but I'd maybe opt for one of the cheaper menu items next time.

"A vision of a paramilitary America."Comments
Shorter Pierce, Serwer, and MacGillis: Bring me the head of Wayne LaPierre.*
*A note for our illiterate readers: I am not suggesting that any of these gentlemen are literally advocating the kidnapping or decapitation of Mr. LaPierre. Rather, I am using a reference to an obscurish Sam Peckinpah** movie to suggest that they, correctly, believe that a political struggle must be waged to limit the political influence of this odious public interest group.
**Needless to say, because of his portrayal of violence on film, it is quite clear that Peckinpah is mostly responsible for gun violence in America today, given an influence on American adolescents comparable to that of Mortal Kombat, the 2 Live Crew, Yar's Revenge, and the other cutting-edge cultural references Mr. LaPierre's assistants found by combing through old Hi & Lois cartoons. As for why other countries that have access to similar pop culture but more restrictive gun laws have much lower rates of gun violence, look, it's Halley's Comet!

China escapes U.S. "currency manipulator" label
The Obama administration said on Friday that China's currency remained "significantly undervalued," but again stopped short of labeling the world's second-biggest economy a currency manipulator.
Although Beijing controls the pace at which the yuan can rise by intervening in foreign exchange markets, the U.S. Treasury said in a congressionally mandated semi-annual report that China did not meet the legal requirements to be deemed a currency manipulator.
Continue Reading Below
The label is largely symbolic, but would require Washington to open discussions with Beijing on adjusting the yuan's value. Many U.S. lawmakers have accused China of deliberately keeping the yuan undervalued to gain a trade advantage.
As in other reports over the last several years, the analysis on China reflected both the administration's desire to maintain good relations with its top creditor and an attempt to keep up pressure for changes in China that could benefit the U.S. economy and mollify domestic critics.
The report, which surveys the foreign exchange practices of major U.S. trading partners, said China had allowed the yuan to rise 16.2 percent against the dollar in inflation-adjusted terms since June 2010, when China moved off its exchange rate peg.
The yuan, also known as the renminbi, hit a record high against the dollar on Friday as China's central bank fixed its official midpoint for the currency at the strongest level yet ahead of a Beijing visit by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.
"Nonetheless, the available evidence suggests the renminbi remains significantly undervalued, intervention appears to have resumed, and further appreciation of the renminbi against the dollar is warranted," Treasury said in a statement.
The Treasury also said it was closely monitoring policies in Japan meant to support the growth of domestic demand. Japan's aggressive monetary policy, which has sharply undercut the value of the yen, has refueled a debate about competitive devaluations.
It has been more than 18 years since the U.S. Treasury has designated any country a manipulator. China was labeled a manipulator between 1992 and 1994.

The curriculum at College of the Ozarks is founded upon the liberal arts, which offer the student an investigation of a variety of subjects coupled with an intensive concentration in Hotel & Restaurant Management (HRM). A student may earn either a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree in HRM.
The hotel & restaurant management degree program, headquartered in The Keeter Center, features sequences of coursework that offer an emphasis in particular professional categories within the hospitality industry:
College of the Ozarks HRM graduates enjoy a very high placement rate upon graduation. The future is bright in one of the fastest growing industries in the world.
Lamae Koogler firstname.lastname@example.com
Robert Stricklin firstname.lastname@example.com
In addition to classroom and laboratory work, the HRM program offers many opportunities for professional growth.
The mission* of the Hotel & Restaurant Management (HRM) program at College of the Ozarks is to be the academic program of choice for those interested in either the hospitality industries as a career path or in graduate study in the hospitality disciplines.
To achieve this mission, the HRM program has the following goals:
*Adopted February 18, 2005
This mission and goals statement has been developed through the combined efforts of members of the HRM Professional Advisory Group, faculty who teach courses in the HRM program, and the HRM students.
The hotel & restaurant management program (HRM) offers contemporary, multi-disciplined, and specialized courses of study, utilizing the unique learning laboratory environment of The Keeter Center. The Keeter Center features fine dining, catering and banquet services, upscale lodging, and state-of-the-art conference facilities.
Students can choose from a Hotel and Restaurant Management course of study or Meeting & Special Event Management.
A major in Culinary Arts is also offered for those interested in careers in fine cooking and kitchen management.
The hotel & restaurant management degree program integrates the five fundamental goals of the College into its curriculum and activities. We strive to develop hospitality professionals who are self-directed, ethical, and guest-focused, and who demonstrate competence in stewardship and creativity.
The HRM program is the regional center for best practices in hospitality management, marketing, operations, workplace and food service safety, and culinary excellence.
The HRM program is an excellent place to expand your interest and knowledge in the culinary arts. Chefs, cooks, and food preparation workers prepare, season, and cook a wide variety of foods from soups and appetizers to entrees and desserts in the college kitchens.
The HRM program, in cooperation with our academic partners offers students a variety of foods and culinary classes that lead the student from an introduction to food through more advanced studies in professional cooking, dietetics, and baking. Area chefs are involved in teaching a variety of our culinary courses.
The College Work Education program offers many opportunities to develop cooking and culinary skills with positions in the Dobyn's Dining kitchen and the College cafeteria kitchens. Food preparation learning opportunities include everything from cooking vegetables in quantity for a banquet to preparing the entrée for an exclusive fine dining restaurant experience.
Studying hospitality management in the HRM program features a blend of the traditional classroom experience with a significant commitment to experiential learning. The Branson, Missouri area is a thriving tourism destination and offers almost unlimited opportunities to visit with hospitality professionals and experience their work environments. Facility tours, professional meetings, and special guest speakers are all part of the learning environment.
Students interested in the Hotel and Restaurant Management emphasis find that a working kitchen becomes their classroom. The culinary laboratory/work space is located right inside the Dobyn's Dining kitchen and students work alongside culinary professionals. Those choosing the Meeting and Convention Management emphasis will be studying in the working spaces used for conferences and meetings.
The hotel & restaurant management students not only participate in the classroom, they find their studies continuing behind the front desk at Mabee Lodge or managing housekeeping activities in the Presidential Suite.
The HRM program blends the College Work Education program into the student's hospitality studies. As part of their degree requirements, students complete four semesters of work in a workstation recommended by their advisor. Most of these work opportunities are in The Keeter Center. Culinary Arts students have the opportunity to work in the kitchen in The Keeter Center preparing food for guests in Dobyns Dining or a wide variety of banquet events.
The Keeter Center is home to the hotel and restaurant management program and classrooms. Located at the main entrance of the College, the Keeter Center is the largest work area on campus. It utilizes student workers who apply their classroom learning in its operation as a restaurant, gift shop, bakery and 15-room lodge. These student workers serve as front desk reservationist, bell staff, housekeeping staff, wait staff, and cashiers. Culinary students work in food preparation at the restaurant. All student workers are responsible for the maintenance and care of the Keeter Center facility.
The hospitality industries continue to be among the fastest growing businesses in the world. There is an increasing demand for hospitality professionals in every employer category including hotels, theme parks, restaurants, contract foodservice organizations, resorts, and convention centers. There are substantial opportunities for professional growth and development while earning a hotel & restaurant management degree at College of the Ozarks.
Managers in the hospitality industries sometimes face the challenges of long hours and working under pressure. They frequently have to work evenings and weekends and they will put in more than 40 hours per week during busy periods.
However, there is great satisfaction in working to meet guest needs and exceeding expectations. Catering to the needs of guests requires excellent business and technical skills, personal empathy, hard work, and a general positive attitude to serve. The hospitality career is an exciting journey with substantial rewards.
Managers are hired in hotels, restaurants, resorts, theme parks, and tourist attractions. Guest services, reception, housekeeping, convention services, accounting, foodservice, meeting planning, facilities engineering, purchasing, cooking, marketing, and human resources are all areas for specialization. Featuring a required work experience internship, the HRM program maintains close cooperative relationships with area hospitality employers to help students explore their interests in hospitality.

LONGMONT — U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner would like President Barack Obama "to focus on this nation's fiscal crisis" in tonight's State of the Union address.
Gardner said Monday that it will be important for the American people, as well as the members of Congress assembled for the Democratic president's speech, to hear specifics about the Obama administration's proposals for dealing with federal budget deficits and the national debt.
During a visit to the Longmont Times-Call, Gardner said he hopes the Democratic president will also detail plans for protecting Medicare and Social Security, which the congressman said face major financial problems. The Yuma Republican represents the 4th Congressional District, which includes Longmont, the northeast corner of Boulder County and all of Weld County.
Gardner and U.S. Rep. Tim Griffin, R-Ark., said in a Jan. 9 letter to the president, "It is imperative that every person in America be provided the tools to have a discussion about the financial health of the nation and what it means for them."
Gardner and Griffin wrote, "Your administration pledged to be transparent and honest with America, and we believe providing this information to the American public in this forum," the annual State of the Union speech, "is an ideal way to fulfill this pledge."
Gardner said Monday that he didn't think his office had gotten a formal White House response to that January letter.
Gardner said the president should be honest with people that if nothing is done to reform Medicare, the trust fund for the health care program for the elderly is projected to go bankrupt in 2023, and that if nothing is done to address Social Security, that program's trust fund is expected to be insolvent in 2033.
Gardner has also called on Obama to include details in the State of the Union address about the national debt, including: the debt as it stood on Monday; the change in the national debt since the president's 2012 State of the Union speech; and the per-person share of the national debt as calculated by dividing the debt by the U.S. population in the most recent Census data.

Prime Minister tears into BJP government in Gujarat
Published: 09th December 2012 01:45 PM | Last Updated: 09th December 2012 06:25 PM | A+A A-
Targeting the Narendra Modi government, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said time has come to "liberate" Gujarat from divisive politics and regretted that minorities were feeling "insecure" in the BJP-ruled state.
"Unlike the Opposition we do not play politics of dividing the people. Such type of politics is bad in itself and for a longer period of time cannot be beneficial for a political party," Singh said addressing his first poll rally in this tribal town of Navsari district in south Gujarat.
"The time has come to liberate Gujarat from this type of politics and to not let those people come back to power, who have been trying to get votes by dividing our society and country," Singh said without naming Modi.
"Congress party has always acted to unite the people of country. We know that if there are fissures in our people on the lines of religion, caste, creed and clan...then we cannot surge ahead as a nation," he said.
"We have been getting regular complaints that minorities and few other segments of society are feeling insecure in the state. Even a few state government officers have filed such complaints, which is very unfortunate for our country," Singh said.
"It is a matter of great regret that such type of environment has been created in the land of Mahatma Gandhi."
The Prime Minister also sought to pick holes in development claims of the Modi government, saying it has failed to take growth to the needy sections of society.
"Development in Gujarat is only for a few people. A big portion of the population here has remained untouched by this economic development. Because of the policies of the state government, there is an imbalance in the society," he said.
"The foundation of Gujarat's development was laid by the Congress governments in 70s. It is due to the hardworking people of this state that it is considered to be developing," Singh said.
"When we talk about progress then the question also arises who is benefiting from it. Are the benefits of development reaching the villages and people who have been left behind in the race for progress?
Are the benefits reaching minorities, scheduled tribes, scheduled caste....brother and sisters...women and children?" he asked.
"These are some very important questions which I want to raise with regards to Gujarat...I have to say it with great sorrow that the state BJP government in this connection has been a total failure," he said.
"It is very unfortunate that in a developed state like Gujarat, 41 per cent of women are victims of malnourishment.
...if you look at women between 15-50 years age group then you will find that 55 per cent women are anaemic," Singh said.
"I want to draw your attention towards the fact that if we take a look at top 20 states in terms of human development Gujarat ranks 18. You will have to think what is the reason behind this," he said.
The Prime Minister said the public health sector was not in a good state in Gujarat and new employment opportunities for the youth were also not being generated.
"Gujarat has not been able to spend a large amount of Centre's fund sent for employment generation in rural areas of the state. No new employment opportunities are being generated here for unemployed youths," he said.
Comparing the performance of the BJP government with the one led by Congress, he said, the Congress is trying to work in those directions which great leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi have set.
"We have in our efforts always taken care of the need of every segment of the society," Singh said.
Listing various schemes introduced by his government for welfare of marginalised sections of the society like tribal, poor, farmers and minority community, the Prime Minister said, "If you elect Congress government in the state then the state government and Central government can jointly implement these schemes effectively in Gujarat."
He also raised the issue of incomplete work of Sardar Sarovar Narmada Dam canal and water problems being faced by people in the state.
"I have been told that there is a shortage of drinking water in your area. I regret that the state government is not properly utilising the fund being made available by the Central government for drinking water," he said.
"In past more then 10 years, only 26 percent of work of Sardar Sarovar Narmada dam project has been completed. If Congress party forms government in the state, then we will speed up the work and try our best to bring happiness in each and every village and provide all the benefits to the farmers which they are truly entitled for," Singh said.

WORLD NUMBER ONE Rory McIlroy made a late charge up the leaderboard but still trailed Denmark's Thomas Bjorn by five shots after a marathon day three at the Barclays Singapore Open today.
McIlroy raced into contention with two birdies and an eagle — offset by a watery double-bogey — in the first nine holes of his third round before nightfall halted play in the storm-hit tournament.
The third round only started at 8am Irish time after weather interruptions over the first two days meant most of Saturday was taken up with completing the second round at par-71 Sentosa Golf Club.
Bjorn, 41, was top of the leaderboard at nine under par for the tournament after a 67 in his second round, which gave him a great chance of his first win of the year. England's Chris Wood was a shot back at eight under par, with South African George Coetzee two adrift at seven-under after a brilliant 63 in round two.
Ryder Cup star Francesco Molinari was six-under for the tournament alongside Thailand's Chapchai Nirat, while three-time winner Adam Scott was at five-under. McIlroy was tied for 13th at four-under in a group including Louis Oosthuizen.
"You've got to stay with it," said Bjorn. "The weather is always sweating us so we don't really know what we're doing and when we're playing, and it's a bit interrupted. You just got to try and stay relaxed and see what the tournament brings to you instead of going to chase it."
Two days of storm delays dragged the second round out over 28 hours, and it was a long shift on Sunday with the players on course at 7:30 am and not finishing until nightfall nearly 12 hours later.
McIlroy, needing a top-three finish to be confirmed as the European Tour's top prize money-winner this season, admitted the weather delays were frustrating after recording successive 70s in his first two rounds. But the Northern Irishman, with tennis star girlfriend Caroline Wozniacki among the large gallery, looked fired up as he began his third round and he rolled in a 15-foot birdie putt on the second hole.
McIlroy missed a 10-foot birdie putt on the third — after a breathtaking approach from sloping rough — but a huge drive over water, a blistering second shot and a seven-foot putt yielded an eagle on the par-five fourth.
However, McIlroy angrily thumped his driver into the ground after putting his tee-shot into water on the harbour-flanked sixth hole, and after a drop he chipped and two-putted for double-bogey.
His challenge seemed shot, but McIlroy hit back with another birdie on seven and missed a final birdie by a hair's breadth on the ninth hole in the quickly gathering dusk, after the hooter had signalled the end of play.
"I played well when we got back out there, got off to a good start then unfortunately made a mistake on the sixth but got one straight back on the seventh," McIlroy said.
"So two-under through nine was a pretty decent effort, but I probably need a few more birdies tomorrow morning to get myself within a few shots of the lead going into the fourth round — if it ever happens, that is!"
Play will resume at 7:30 am with another long day in prospect as organisers try to cram the best part of two rounds into Sunday. With more weather delays, they will either cut the event to 54 holes or extend it into Monday.

A Florida woman who told a deputy she was "awesome" and asked him if he wanted to dance was arrested for DUI, authorities said.
Julie Kay Harper, 44, was arrested following a June 22 traffic stop, according to an Indian River County Sheriff's Office report obtained by TCPalm.com.
According to the report, officers were on their way to a burglary call around 1:15 a.m. when Harper, driving a Mercury Grand Marquis, nearly ran them off the road making a wide turn and changing lanes.

After she was stopped, Harper's speech was thick and slurred and she appeared confused, at one point taking her foot off her brake causing her car to move forward, the report said. An officer had to reach inside the car and put it in park.
When an officer asked her how she was doing, Harper said "I'm awesome," the report said.
When the officer asked how long she'd lived at her home, she replied "A minute," the report said.

"For 60 seconds, that's all?" the officer asked.
"That's it," Harper chuckled, according to the report. "Yeah I know I'm fu--ed."
Harper admitted to drinking and was again asked if she felt ok, the report said.
"No. I feel in trouble," she replied, according to the report.
VIDEO: Blind Dog Paints for Animal Rescue
Harper said she'd had about three beers and the officer noted he could smell alcohol on her breath and her eyes were red, glassy and bloodshot, the report said.
She was unsteady on her feet and at one point during the field sobriety test, asked the deputy "Are we going to dance?" the report said.
When Harper was asked to walk a straight line, she attempted it but gave up.
"I can't. My fat. My legs are fat," she said, according to the report, later adding "It's not gonna happen. Just fu--ing take me to jail."
Harper was booked into jail on charges including DUI, driving an unregistered car and driving with a suspended license. She was later released on bond and it's unknown whether she has an attorney.

Charlotte, NC (SportsNetwork.com) - The anxiety level down in South Beach was high for several minutes after LeBron James clutched his right leg underneath the basket in the third quarter.
A hobbled James dispatched any worries shortly thereafter.
James had 31 points, nine assists and seven rebounds and the Miami Heat swept the Charlotte Bobcats with a 109-98 win on Monday night to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals.
At 8:43 of the third quarter, James took a knee to his right thigh from 7-foot center Bismack Biyombo as he attempted to back Biyombo down along the left baseline. After losing the ball out of bounds, James hobbled to the Heat bench during a timeout and received treatment on the thigh.
He returned with a vengeance, scoring the first seven points in a 12-4 Heat run that staked them to a seven-point advantage.
Miami was never seriously threatened again, earning its second first-round sweep in a row. The Heat moved to 16-2 in first-round series games during the "Big Three" era.
James netted 19 points after the injury.
"I'm fortunate we were able to close out tonight and I can give it a little rest," James said of the injury.
Chris Bosh had 17 points and eight rebounds and Dwyane Wade scored 15 for second-seeded Miami, which will face either Toronto or Brooklyn in the next round. That set is tied 2-2 with Game 5 scheduled for Wednesday in Toronto.
Biyombo started for Al Jefferson, the team's leading scorer and rebounder, who sat out due to a lingering foot injury. He strained the plantar fascia in his left foot in the first quarter of Game 1 and didn't participate in Monday's shootaround.
"If you take away the best offensive player from any team in the league it dramatically changes your team," Bobcats coach Steve Clifford said of Jefferson.
Kemba Walker tallied 29 points, five assists and five rebounds for the Bobcats, who remained the only current NBA franchise without a playoff win.
The Bobcats will become the Hornets next season.
Charlotte led 62-61 in a back-and-forth tussle where neither team led by more than five prior to James going down. When he came back in, James and Walker knocked down 3-pointers before James hit a long left wing jumper with the shot clock running down.
His steal and layup preceded a James Jones triple, which capped the surge and gave Miami a 73-66 cushion with 4:54 to go in the third. Norris Cole's left corner trey with less than a second left in the period increased the advantage to 84-71.
James had nine points and six assists in the third.
Charlotte never got the deficit below seven in the fourth.
Earlier, Walker put in 10 first-quarter points as the Bobcats took their third first-quarter lead in the series, 27-26. Charlotte held a 54-52 edge at the break.
Prior to the game, the Heat players showed unity with the Los Angeles Clippers players over the Donald Sterling controversy.
Like the Clippers did Sunday, Heat players disposed of their white warmup T- shirts at center court and turned their red warmup jerseys inside out, hiding the logo during their pregame routine.
Miami scored 22 points off 16 Charlotte turnovers ... The Heat swept the Milwaukee Bucks last season and have won nine straight series ... There were 17 lead changes and 15 ties in the game.

Media Matters is partially funded by left-wing sugar daddy George Soro$, who once said he felt no guilt about aiding Nazis in the confiscation of property from Jews, as he told Steve Kroft from 60 Minutes.
One order of business the GOP House should do is investigate and remove the non-profit tax exemption for this Leftist organisation.
Kroft: "My understanding is that you went … went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews."
Soros: "Yes, that's right. Yes."
Kroft: "I mean, that's—that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?"
Soros: "Not, not at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you don't … you don't see the connection. But it was—it created no—no problem at all."
Kroft: "No feeling of guilt?"
Soros: "No."

November 13, 2000 -- Many of us stuck on Earth wish we could join (at
least temporarily) the Expedition
One crew aboard the International Space
Station (ISS). Floating effortlessly from module to module,
looking down on Earth from a breathtaking height of 350 kilometers....
It's a dream come true for innumerable space lovers.
But be careful what you wish for! Living on the Space Station also means hard
work, cramped quarters, and... what's that smell? Probably more
outgassing from a scientific experiment or, worse yet, a crewmate.
With 3 to 7 people sharing a small enclosed volume on the still-growing
Space Station, air management is critical.
Life support systems on the ISS must not only supply oxygen and remove carbon
dioxide from the cabin's atmosphere, but also prevent gases like
ammonia and acetone, which people emit in small quantities, from
accumulating. Vaporous chemicals from science experiments are
a potential hazard, too, if they combine in unforeseen ways with
other elements in the air supply.
So, while air in space is undeniably rare, managing it is no small problem
for ISS life support engineers.
In this second article in a series about the practical challenges of living in
space, Science@NASA examines how the ISS will provide its residents with the breath of life.

Alston is a small town in Cumbria, North West England.
English is spoken fluently by all, although this may change through the course of Friday and Saturday nights.
Get in[edit]
There are good transport links into Alston. Although the railway is no longer running, main roads extend to Alston from Carlisle, Hexham, Penrith, and Barnard Castle. Each of these is 20-30 miles distant.
Get around[edit]
Wrights busses run a daily service in the summer months to Penrith, Newcastle ( via Hexham), and the villages of Garrigill and Nenthead.
Alston is set in a designated area of outstanding natural beauty. There are many walks to be had on the moor, and both Nenthead and Garrigill are good 8 mile ( round trip) walks which can be taken along the rivers Nent and Tyne respectively.
See[edit][add listing]
PUBS: Alston is a place of many pubs considering its small size. There are less than 2000 people living on the whole moor and there are a total of 10 pubs. Each has its own individual character and many of them are free houses, serving local beers from the many microbreweries springing up in Cumbria. The Hub Museum: A local museum dedicated to transport and history of Alston. Although small, it has some impressive exhibits and knowledgeable staff.
South Tynedale Railway: The railway used to run from Alston to nearby Haltwhistle, but was closed in 1974. Since then narrow gauge track has been laid and steam trains run throughout the summer months to Gilderdale, some four miles from Alston.
Garrigill Walk: Starting from Alston, there is a gentle walk to be had following the Pennine Way to Garrigill along the Tyne river. From its mighty endings in Newcastle, Garrigill is very close to Tynehead where the river originates from springs. The George and Dragon pub in Garrigill is a popular place to eat for tourists and locals alike. The small square in the centre of the village makes a tranquil place to sit outside and have a beer before the walk back to Alston. Roundtrip: 8 Miles
Do[edit][add listing]
Wednesday nights: Open Mike night at the Turks Head pub. This popular event draws musicians from all around Cumbria, Northumberland and Durham and is popular with the locals. Anyone is welcome to join in.
Friday 'early doors', The Cumberland: Many of Alstons residents start the weekend early with a few beers at the Cumberland on a Friday night. The Cumberland is serious about its real ale and is a good place to stop if you wish to sample something local to drink.
Events at the Town Hall: Music night are held roughly every two months in the town hall over the winter months, and show good variety from rock to reggae. Also features the infamous 'Alston Raffle' which beggars description.
South Tynedale Railway - Used to be a branch line through to Haltwhistle but now runs narrow gauge steam engines up into the hills for about 3 miles.
The Hub Museum - Showing Alstons industrial heritage, small but well stocked museum. Next to South Tynedale Railway.
Eat[edit][add listing]
Like much of Cumbria, after the Foot and Mouth incident a few years ago, many businesses combined and diversified, leaving Cumbria with a gastronomical edge.
The Moody Baker Co-op: Award winning bakery, specialising in home cooked vegetarian fayre, although quality meat pasties and pies are now available. Their steak and ale pie; The Wolf Pie is made with beer from the local Allendale Brewery.
Alston Wholefoods: Well stocked with wholefoods, but also stocking local produce from the surrounding catchment. Helpful staff will also talk you though one of the most impressive cheese counters around.
Alston House: Upmarket menu and surprising meal selections.
Country Kitchen: Does the best BLT in Alston!

Discarded immune cells induce the relocation of stem cells
Spanish researchers have discovered that the daily clearance of neutrophils from the body stimulates the release of hematopoietic stem cells from the bone marrow into the bloodstream, according to a report published today in the journal Cell.
Neutrophils are leukocytes (white blood cells) that defend the body against attack from bacteria and other disease organisms. To perform their function, these cells release toxic substances when they come into contact with microorganisms. However, release of these substances in the wrong place by damaged neutrophils can result in severe injury to blood vessels and tissues. Evolution appears to have resolved this conflict by ensuring that neutrophils are renewed much more rapidly than most other cells in the body: approximately 1011 neutrophils are eliminated every day and an equivalent number of stem cells are released into the bloodstream. This in turn generates a second problem: what to do with all these cells that have to be eliminated.
Dr. Andrés Hidalgo and his team in the Department of Epidemiology, Atherosclerosis and Cardiovascular Imaging, led by Dr. Valentín Fuster, have discovered the function of these neutrophils expelled every day by the body.
Graduate student María Casanova Acebes (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid), found that when additional apoptotic neutrophils were injected into mice, there was an increase in the number of circulating hematopoietic stem cells, the cells that generate all blood cells.
Using a wide variety of experimental approaches, including imaging assays, pharmacological treatments and genetic analysis, the team showed that when neutrophils in the blood get old, they migrate to the bone marrow to be eliminated by specialized phagocytotic cells called macrophages. The act of phagocytosing the neutrophils alters these macrophages' genetic properties and functions, and these changes in turn alter the function of specialized cells whose job it is to retain hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. "As a consequence, the stem cells are released into the blood", explains María Casanova, first author of the study.
According to Dr. Hidalgo, "Key questions that arise from our study relate to the role of the hematopoietic stems cells expelled from the bone marrow, and how the elimination of neutrophils might affect other important stem cell populations, for example those that produce tumors".
The research also reveals that the aging of neutrophils follows a day/night, or circadian, cycle, suggesting possible implications for disease processes—for instance heart attack—that occur more frequently at certain times of day.
"Our study shows that stem cells are affected by day/night cycles thanks to this cell recycling. It is possible that the malign stem cells that cause cancer use this mechanism to relocate, for example during metastasis", Hidalgo emphasizes.
But this finding could have more direct implications for cardiovascular health. According to the authors, the daily changes in the function of neutrophils could be responsible for the tendency of acute cardiovascular and inflammatory events, such as heart attack, sepsis or stroke, to occur at certain times of day.
Dr. Hidalgo concludes, "Given that this new discovery describes fundamental processes in the body that were unknown before, it will now be possible to interpret the alterations to certain physiological patterns that occur in many diseases."
