The loan against pledged shares will definitely be released soon. There is no question of the Lender selling over 1 - 3 years ! if it is only 6 cr.. The Power plant PPA etc. (and whatever minor issues may still be there) will hopefully be sorted out before monsoon, so this should zoom up then. All

thats because they have a different amount of cylinders in SBK, in MGP they have a V4 so it shouldnt be a problem, but true, they did seem to get a few leg ups in SBK over the years, dont know if its still the case. They dont need help from dorna to sort their MGP issues, then need to change their approach to the design and certainly to their riders and their crews before they get any further forward.

Shareholders of the now state-owned Royal Bank of Scotland are to sue the bank over claims that they were misled by former bosses during a rights issue in 2008.
Angry investors yesterday announced that they will issue a £2.4bn claim against the bank and several of its former directors including chairman Sir Tom McKillop and ex-chief executive Fred Goodwin.
Letters from the RBOS Action Group are due to be delivered to the bank and 17 former directors. The letters claim that investors were actively misled in a prospectus which was published as part of a £12bn rights issue by RBS, which raised money to fund the purchase of the Dutch investment bank ABN Amro.
RBS was forced to seek an unprecedented government bailout, just five months after the purchase went through.
RBOS Action Group is backed by over 7,000 private shareholders and 80 institutional investors which include Deutsche Bank and HSBC Global Custody.
The statement of claim alleges that the bank and its board must have either withheld or misrepresented information about the true state of the bank's finances when it sought investment in April 2008.
Investors suffered massive losses that same year, as the bank was forced to seek a £20bn government bailout in December, which was followed by a second bailout of £25bn in December 2009.
RBS shares peaked in March 2007 at a price of £6.07 per share. However just 18 months later the Government paid just 50p a share for an 82% stake in the company and shares now trade at just under 30p a share.
An investigation by the Financial Services Authority found that the bank's near collapse was due to poor management, but failed to recommend taking any action against the bank's management.
Mike Neill is chairman of the RBOS Action Group; he was disappointed that the FSA did not follow up its conclusions with legal action.
"We had been led to believe the FSA would adjudicate on whether RBS misled investors in early 2008, whether the 2008 RBS annual report and accounts were accurate, and whether shareholders deserved to be compensated," he said.
In a statement RBS said it would vigorously defend any action against it.

I am relatively new to Python, and I am experimenting with writing the following date calc functions
- find the date that is/was Monday for a specified datetime
- find the first non-weekend day of the month in a specified datetime
- find the first non-weekend day of the year in a specified datetime
- find the Nth [day of week] for a month in a specified datetime
Here are my attempts so far - if the logic can be improved (or corrected) to be more 'Pythonic', please let me know
import datetime
def find_month_first_monday(tstamp = datetime.today()):
day_of_month = datetime.date.today().timetuple()[2]
day_of_week = datetime.weekday(tstamp)
# now I have the dow, and dom, I can index into a 2D array of
# dates for the month - IF I knew how to get to that array ...
def find_first_gbd_in_month(tstamp = datetime.today()):
# naive way would be to find the month and year from the passed in arg,
# calculate the first day for that month/year and iterate until a non-weekend day
# is found. Not elegant, there must be a better way
def find_first_gbd_in_year(tstamp = datetime.today()):
# Ditto, as above.
def find_ndow_in_month(tstamp = datetime.today()):
# again, I can get the month and the year from the passed in argument
# what I need is a 2D array of dates for the month/year, so I can get
# the nth dow (similar to reading off a calendar)

NEW DELHI: The Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA) on Friday welcomed the Union Budget 2012-13 and its focus on the manufacturing and MSME sectors.
"ACMA welcomes the focus on manufacturing, especially the Micro, Small and Medium enterprises (MSMEs). MSMEs constitute over 70% of ACMA's membership and access to capital has been one of the major constraints for the sector. We hope that setting up of the Rs. 5,000 crore 'India Opportunity Venture Fund' will enable the sector access the much-needed capital," it said in a statement.

Politically, water deal ends drought for governor
Some see legislation helping form legacy
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a historic water deal last week, ending a prolonged dry spell for significant legislative accomplishments and potentially burnishing a legacy that has looked rather threadbare of late.
Since the 2006 passage of landmark global warming legislation, Schwarzenegger's initiatives in budget reform, health care and governmental reorganization have all run aground. His latest effort, an overhaul of the state tax system, is likely to suffer the same fate.
Whether the most comprehensive water legislation passed in California in a half-century succeeds depends in large measure on voter approval of a $11.1 billion bond issue in November 2010. The bond would fund water projects such as building reservoirs.
Still, it was the first time in a long while that a deeply unpopular Republican governor and a Democratic Legislature held in even lower regard have been able to put aside partisan rancor and agree on major legislation.
"This is a big deal and it needed to be done, and others haven't been able to do it," said Barbara O'Connor, director of the Institute for the Study of Politics and Media at California State University Sacramento. "The bond is another issue, but at least they've got it."
Whether the water deal is something that will boost Schwarzenegger's ability to claim a successful governorship is a matter of disagreement among analysts.
"The legacy in progress that Schwarzenegger and his advisers seem to be fashioning is Arnold Schwarzenegger as the 'reforminator,' " said Dan Schnur, director of the Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics at the University of Southern California. "Now they can add water reform to climate change, redistricting and a couple of other things, and they've got a pretty good list."
Bill Whalen, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution, a conservative research group at Stanford University, doesn't think so.
"I think in the grand scheme of things it's probably a drop in the bucket," Whalen said.
He noted that the former bodybuilder and movie star campaigned in the 2003 recall election as the larger-than-life outsider who was going to sweep into office and fundamentally change the way business is done in Sacramento.
"The big picture is going to be one of change and reform in Sacramento — the larger question of what really happened on his watch, what really changed," Whalen said.
Schwarzenegger professed not to think about his legacy when asked about it during a news conference to announce the water deal Wednesday.
"Well, to be honest with you, I spent a lot of time in my life thinking about myself — how to build my body and how to build my career and how to build my millions of dollars and all those things," he said. "This is not about me. This is about California. This is about California's future."
In the view of many Schwarzenegger watchers, the governor will be judged first and foremost by his ability to restore stability to the state's finances.
"It's a small patch on a big hole," Jack Pitney, a professor of American politics at Claremont McKenna College, said of the water deal. "The governor still has to deal with enormous fiscal problems that will define his governorship. We'll see how the state's economy looks on the day he leaves."
Even so, some found it nothing short of remarkable that the governor and Legislature were able to juggle the multitude of competing interests that surround California water policy to come to an agreement.
"This was a hard deal to put together," said Larry Gerston, a professor of political science at San Jose State University. "You've got urban versus rural, farmers versus environmentalists, north versus south, east versus west, Democrats versus Republicans. This was bridging all kinds of chasms."

Java application servers
Application servers are programs running on some server-side backend – either a dedicated server or a virtual machine running on cloud resources – that run software services for Web apps. Java application servers meet a set of requirements set by the current version of the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE, previously J2EE). As set in in J2EE, Java app servers were based on Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), but many modern options leave off these features and concentrate on JavaServer Pages or Java servlets. Examples of common Java application servers include Apache Tomcat, Eclipse Jetty, Caucho Resin, and IBM WebSphere, among others.

Sedgley took on De La Salle 2nd XV for the second time in 2012. The last meeting we took the spoils, but would we be able to repeat this in the second round of the cup.
We had a strong side with maybe only a week in, week out 8 missing but Mr versatile Matt Allcock covered and had a great game.
The game kicked off but the 3s were found napping and Del a Salle scored early on. After this Sedge took control and had the better of the play dominating the scrum and a new weapon in the driving maul.
From a lineout just inside the 22 we took good ball and drove for the line.
Well controlled by the forwards ended in Chris Hobbs touching down. The wind was gruesome forcing the conversion wide.
The 3s kept pressure on and kept the visitors in their own half. Attacking in the opposition 22 Mark O'Hern put in a cross kick which was gathered by Adam Arif and laid off to Adam Lewis who crossed the line for Sedgley's second try, the conversion was missed.
Sedgley 10 – 7 up at half time.
The second half started in the same vein with us dominating possession. As time went on our dominance slipped and De La Salle evened the game up with a penalty.
This was disappointing as the game should have been sealed for us earlier.
Through the second half De La Salle seemed to be able to improve their side with substitutions.
The next score looked destined to decide the game and unfortunately at the death it was scored by De La Salle.
The game ended 15 – 10 against the mighty 3s.
A bitter sweet result as we lost, but as this was a cup game we still keep our current 6 out of 7 league record
Today we entertain Kirby Lonsdale in an eagerly anticipated game between 6th & 7th place.

Got a new commuter light set for my bike. After coming within 2 feet of an F-150 this morning (despite having a solid headlight and tailight), I decided it was time to upgrade..
Light and Motion Urban 550 with the Viz 180 tailight - usb charging which would be an easy charge at work, small light and compact.. Hopefully it's super bright. My supervisor has a killer bright set from these guys that's withstood a few years of abuse and still performs perfectly.
Plan is to replace my current headlamp, and then rock two tailights.
Hope I made a good choice... Any one of you had experience with this set/company?

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: Net Force: High Wire, August 2, 2002 Reviewer: Priscilla Stafford from Yokohama, Japan ...In the year 2025,Net Force Explorer Andy Moore is asked to help the Cservanka Brothers Circus to program virtual animals and a few other things. As he gets closer to Papa Cservanka's granddaughter, Syeira, a vivacious and strong willed teenager, Andy finds strange things happening under the big top. As he begins exploring the strange events, he finds that the cyber-circus could be under the threat of a black market ring. Can Andy figure everything out before someone gets hurt... including him? For a Young Adult book, "High Wire" is great for all teenagers. With a well-thought out plot, this story will please those looking for a good read. Mel Odom, the author, gives plenty of twists and turns, having the whole plot well balanced with mystery, excitement, love, and adventure. As for myself, since I love using the internet, find this Net Force story intriguing as the Net has no boundaries. The character of Andy Moore is a fun main character. For a teenager, he's very smart and it's interesting how he figures out problems and comes up with remarkable plans. I also would love to read more about all of his Net Force Explorer friends, especially Matt Hunter and Mark Grideley, called the Squirt. And though she is only mentioned and she doesn't come out in the story, I would love to read a story about Megan O'Malley who's supposed to be a martial artist.

RUSTON -- Louisiana Tech's Michael Coleman and Kamelia Stroy each earned Western Athletic Conference indoor track athletes of the week following their performances in last weekend's Texas A&M Invitational Track Meet.
Coleman, a senior from Ruston, La. (Ruston HS), Finished fifth in the 60 meter dash against some of the top talent in the country at the Texas A&M Invitational with a time of 6.86.

Lumen Retro-Reflective Bicycle
What is it?
Lumen is the first of its kind: a bicycle designed specifically for city riding with integrated retro-reflection.
This patented innovation returns any light that hits the Lumen's frame and wheels directly back to the light source. Available single speed or fully geared, in 5 sizes, the Lumen is the world's first commercially available retro-reflective bicycle.
By day
By day the Lumen is a deep charcoal gray with a slight iridescent sheen.
By night
In direct light, the Lumen's frame and rims shine with dramatic effect. There's no on/off switch, no batteries required, just integrated illumination.
How it works
Not all reflections are the same. Retro-reflection works by returning light directly to its source, rather than bouncing, scattering or diffusing the light.
Retro-reflection is focused, creating a signal that is brighter and more intense. By coating the entire frame and both rims, the Lumen has more reflective surface area than any existing bicycle solution. Each Lumen is painted with hundreds of thousands of microscopic spheres. As light enters those spheres it boomerangs right back to the source. This effect - known as "cat's eye" - is visible up to 1,000 feet.
The spark
This project was born out of our daily/nightly city riding. As we passed hyper-reflective street signs surrounded by dark cyclists we asked "Why can't this technology be applied to a bicycle frame?"
It turns out there was a good reason. Retro-reflective solutions have previously only been available in 2D formats. They could be applied as stripes on the road or as the backing of a stop sign but wouldn't work on a 3D bicycle frame. Then we met the guys at Halo.
Halo Coatings develops innovative technologies to apply reflective coatings to 3D surfaces. Halo holds patents on the retro-reflective powder coat used on the Lumen bicycle. The end result is astonishing, by both day and night.
How to get yours
We've got several ways to put you on a retro-reflective bike.
- If you want to do the designing and building yourself, click here for your Lumen frameset.
- If you prefer we do the building, click here to design yours from scratch. Lumen retro-reflective finish has been pre-selected for you.
- If you want to just ride, our pre-designed Lumen One and Lumen Eight models offer the quickest turnaround.

Jane Lynch has become one of the most distinctive actresses working today. Be it on 'Glee,' where she stars as nasty cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester, or just hearing her voice in a film such as "Wreck-It Ralph," you immediately know what you are getting - someone sassy who takes no crap.
Now Lynch is preparing to step into a new role - Broadway headliner. The actress will be taking off her track suit for a while, to play the iconic villain of Annie, Miss Hannigan. She will be replacing Katie Finnernan, a two-time Tony winner. Somehow, I can see Lynch as a oprhanage matron who pushes people as hard as it takes to get what she wants.
"I'm so thrilled I can't see straight," Lynch said. "It's a preposterous fantasy come true."
The play has received glowing reviews from critics, with Hollywood Reporter rep...uhh....writer David Rooney saying that it was "a winning presentation of an unapologetically sentimental show."
Awesome for Lynch. Love her or hate her, she is a true success story, working for decades in acting before really getting a big break. Just look at her IMDB page - if you have a few hours to spare. I think she is going to do great as Hannigan and win some awards.

Graduation Rates
Student Right To Know Act, June 2015
Central Penn College provides the following information regarding our graduation/completion and transfer out rates. This information is provided in compliance with the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended. The rates reflect a four-year average graduation, completion and transfer out status of students for whom 150 percent of the normal time-to-completion has elapsed, using Fall 2008 as the current baseline.
During Fall 2008, 163 first-time, full-time degree seeking undergraduate students entered Central Penn College, or continued their studies after entering Summer 2008. The Federally mandated Student Right to Know graduation rate was an average of 47 percent of students over the past four years. These students completed their programs within three years (or six years if baccalaureate seeking) of their initial enrollment date or moved to and finished a baccalaureate program. The transfer-out rate, similarly, was 4 percent. The graduation rate for the Fall 2008 cohort specifically is 42 percent for baccalaureate students and 45 percent overall. The transfer out rate was 4 percent overall.
For disaggregated graduation rates sorted by gender and ethnicity, are available on the Central Penn College page of NCES College Navigator website. Disaggregated information on students by type of Financial Aid received is available upon request.
Questions in regard to this report should be directed to: Bill Gray, Institutional Research Director, at (717) 728-2511 or email email@example.com.
While reviewing this information, please bear in mind:
Though as a baccalaureate institution we conform to an IPEDS six year reporting cycle, Central Penn College enrolled its first class of bachelor degree seeking students (a total of 14) in 2001.
As reported for the Federal Department of Education, Central Penn's graduation rates are based on a four-year average which is automatically calculated by the IPEDS software online.
The graduation rate as required by Federal law, reflects ONLY full time students who entered the college as First Time Freshman. Part time and transfer students, which comprise half of the College's student body, are not considered.

For Toronto-based immigration lawyer Ravi Jain, August is traditionally a busy month with university and college semesters just around the corner and many of his clients coming from India, which is the second-largest source country for students heading to Canadian universities, next only to China.
This year, however, the situation has not been to Jains liking, thanks to a long-running strike called by Canadas foreign service officers that has severely affected processing of visas in India and other countries. His clients, who have obtained admission to popular institutions such as York University, George Brown College and Seneca College are stranded in India with no prospect of getting to Canada before the beginning of the first term in early September.
Student visas that took about a month are now taking three-four months, says Jain, a partner at the Toronto law firm, Green and Spiegel. Ive been advising my clients over the phone not to start packing their bags yet. Many of them are even willing to double my fees. Im saying, save your money because I cant help you right now, you need to get a deferral and go for the January intake, says Jain.
While students are among the worst affected by the strike due to the academic calendar, the delays in visa processing will also impact the plans of thousands of visitors, temporary workers and potential immigrants from India. India is home to Canadas largest overseas visa office, and the North American country issued a record number of visas to Indian nationals last year.
Canadas Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers (PAFSO) entered into a legal strike position on April 2, protesting what it described as a wage gap compared to other federal officers. Officers at missions around the world have withdrawn various services. In India, immigration services have been withdrawn in Delhi and Chandigarh. Whether it is trade negotiations, political reporting or issuance of visas, delays can be seen everywhere and for all files of the foreign services, said Chrystiane Roy, spokesperson for the Ottawa-based union.
The Canadian government assures that all visa offices are open and continue to provide services. We have designated immigration visa officers positions overseas as essential and, therefore, they will not participate in any strike, says Nancy Caron, the spokesperson for Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) at its Ottawa headquarters. According to PAFSO, only a small proportion of the visa officers are designated as
