Food prices rose 18 percent in the first week of February, weighing heavily on overall inflation which has crossed the Reserve Bank's forecast of 8.5 percent. The finance ministry, in its annual survey of the economy for fiscal year to March 2010, said state run Food Corp of India and other firms should release wheat and rice from its warehouses when the gap between food and non food inflations goes above a certain "critical level." The government, facing mounting criticism from opposition parties, in its railway budget on Wednesday cut freight rates for grains to tame inflation. The survey said a 44 percent drop in sugar output to 14.7 million tonnes in the year to September also contributed to rise in food prices. Edible oil imports by India is seen at 10.1 million tonnes in the year to October 2010, the survey said. The Solvent Extractors' Association of India, a leading trade body, has estimated 2009/10 imports between 9.0 and 9.5 million tonnes. India, the world's top importer of edible oils, allows tax free overseas purchases of crude vegetable oils and imposes 7.5 percent duty on the refined varieties of the cooking fat.

Women Nike Free Run 2 Anthracite Black Red White But no matter where he moved, Collins' eyes never left the court during the team's opening practice of a three day minicamp and his first day of hands on work with some of his new players. Besides Brown, they included several veteran Wizards, such as former Maryland standout guard Laron Profit, and potential free agents. The club's president of basketball operations unexpectedly suited up and practiced with the team, his first action since June 13 when he broke two ribs in a pickup game in Chicago. Jordan, who reportedly is working on a comeback, slipped out of the gym before media were allowed in, meaning only a select few witnessed his return to the court. "He's Michael Jordan; he looked good," Brown said. The observer who must have been most thrilled was Collins. After spending the past four years in the broadcast booth, he inherits a young team that finished 19 63 last season. But Collins is starting to win a few believers. "He's teaching, he's coaching, and I think that's what we need," said Chris Whitney, last season's starting point guard, who missed the last 22 games with an ankle injury and attended the practice unexpectedly. "And he brings discipline. If you're standing on the line, he tells you to back up off the line. So he's going to be good for us." The players were scheduled for another two hour practice last evening, a daily regimen that will continue through tomorrow night. On Monday, the team will travel to Boston to play for seven days in the Celtics' Shaw's Pro Summer League at the Clark Athletic Center Gymnasium at the University of Massachusetts Boston. Nine other NBA teams will be in attendance. Collins, who flew in Thursday night from Chicago with Jordan, said it felt nice to get back into a coaching groove after more than three years. (He was fired as coach of the Detroit Pistons in the middle of the 1997 98 season.) "It was good; I enjoyed it," he said. "Michael and I came in last night, and it was fun last night getting together with my coaches and planning a practice and thinking about teaching again. It was a lot of fun." Fun might have characterized Collins' day, but for Brown, the day started with an important bit of business. Before the morning practice, he met with Jordan and general manager Wes Unseld and signed his first NBA contract a three year guaranteed deal worth $11.9 million. "It's behind me. Now I can play," said Brown, 19, who made history last month as the first player drafted straight from high school with the No. 1 overall pick. Jordan's message to Brown after the signing? Work hard. And then he bolted from the office. "He was ready to go down. He just signed his name and left," Brown said. "He was ready to play." Jordan worked out with the team for most of the morning session. Collins said that Jordan told him he's feeling better and that he seems eager to get back to full speed. Doctors originally suggested that Jordan refrain from physical activity for up to six weeks after breaking the ribs. "I think he's itching to start getting back into the swing of things," Collins said. "I know his spirit and heart is to start pushing it and to get himself into kind of condition. With him, I just sort of sit back and watch." An open spot on the roster will be waiting for Jordan if he makes his return. "I think with him being president of this team we'll keep two spots open for him," Collins said. Brown, meanwhile, whose free throws near the end of practice spared him and his teammates from extra sprints, said there was no comparison between his last practice at his high school, Glynn Academy in Georgia, and yesterday's. "I didn't know the game was this fast," he said. "On TV, it looked real slow. I thought college was the fastest."
