Instead of having to fight a rearguard action and defending its directors, boards appear to be moving pre-emptively to improve their attractiveness to investors.

As reported in Friday's "new-look" National Business Review, activist institutions wielding lists of blacklisted directors are prompting nervous companies to clear their decks before attempting capital raisings.

A flurry of board changes at Snakk Media, which plans to seek a compliance listing on the NZX alternative market, have all the hallmarks of this, as it cuts ties with directors and shareholders associated with controversial company SeaDragon, a major Snakk shareholder.

Maybe the resignation of Mighty River Power director Jon Hartley, who will step down later this month, is the start of a similar process at the state-owned enterprise, which is first on the block for partial sale in the government's stuttering mixed ownership model.

Mr Hartley is a former chief executive of Brierley Investments, who left in 1999 after the rationalisation of the group's New Zealand's assets. He jumped ship to loss-making state-owned enterprise Solid Energy and left shortly after, following a strategic review.

He went on to chair Sky City Entertainment Group, now SkyCity, and joined Pacific Road Corporate Finance as a director.

He is currently a director of ASB Bank, Chorus and Sovereign Assurance Company.

High regard

There's no suggestion Mr Hartley is on any directors' blacklist.

He says he has commitments with World Vision International and its micro-finance subsidiary, VisionFund International, of which he is vice-chairman.

Infrasense, Inc., a national leader in infrastructure nondestructive evaluations, is carrying out subsurface investigations for 15 bridge decks throughout Minnesotas Metro region. The completion of this project will bring the total bridge decks evaluated in Minnesota to 137 (over 2.5 million square feet) since 2009.

Arlington, MA (PRWEB) February 04, 2013

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) data is collected at highway speeds to estimate rebar depth, corrosion conditions and deteriorated concrete. The GPR data is collected in a series of lines spaced 3 feet transversely across the width of the deck, with each line representing a cross sectional slice of the deck at a particular offset. Decks in good condition consist of strong and uniform radar reflections from the rebar. GPR data with weak and inconsistent reflections indicate rebar-level deterioration in the bridge deck.

Recently a study evaluating the accuracy of Infrasense's results provided to the Minnesota DOT was carried out by an independent consultant for MnDOT. The study compared the predicted quantities for 12 decks surveyed by Infrasense against subsequent construction repair quantities. The study found that, on average, Infrasenses predicted deterioration quantities were within 3.5 % of the documented construction quantities.

Ground penetrating radar surveys provide transportation agencies with accurate and comprehensive bridge deck condition information, enabling effective preservation, rehabilitation, and replacement decisions. With large bridge deck inventories, highway agencies have primarily relied on visual inspection at the network level. Since the mechanisms of deterioration occur below the surface, their manifestations are not readily seen in the visual inspections, often leading to subsequent project-level focus.

Traditionally, highway agencies have employed sounding (chain or hammer) to identify delaminated areas for project-level rehab. Although sounding has proven reliable, the labor and closures required for a sounding survey makes it prohibitive for obtaining data of a large number of decks. Also, sounding is not effective when there is an asphalt overlay. In response to these limitations, a number of highway agencies, including MnDOT, have utilized alternative methods, particularly ground penetrating radar.

Infrasense Scans 15 Bridge Decks in Minnesota with Ground Penetrating Radar

Decks cleared for FY15 GST rollout Centre, states clear first hurdle, agree on compensation formula for losses on account of reduction in Central Sales Tax rate Vrishti Beniwal & Dillip Satapathy / Bhubaneswar Jan 29, 2013, 00:59 IST

On Monday, the Centre and states agreed on a compensation formula for Central Sales Tax (CST), a major hurdle in implementing the Goods & Services Tax ( GST).

Earlier in the day, a sub-panel of central and state government officials recommended, for a cut in CST from four per cent to two per cent, states be given 100 per cent compensation for 2010-11, 75 per cent for 2011-12 and 50 per cent for 2012-13. The Centre would have to pay Rs 34,000 crore as CST arrears.

The empowered committee of state finance ministers has given its approval to the report, Sushil Modi, Bihar finance minister and chairman of the empowered committee, said after the meeting. He, however, remained doubtful over the GST rollout next financial year. GST implementation from the coming financial year seems difficult. It is unlikely to happen, as the government is yet to fulfil certain statutory prerequisites for that.

He added some states were earlier concerned the Centre wasnt giving full compensation for losses on account of a cut in CST. However, after the Centre expressed its inability to provide full compensation, citing fiscal constraints, the states finally agreed, albeit with some conditions. They demanded the compensation be paid immediately and the Centre provide a timeframe for it. They also threatened to return to the four per cent CST regime if 100 per cent compensation wasnt provided for 2013-14.

Unless the compensation is 100 per cent, it would be difficult for us to support GST, said a state FM. The Centre had said if GST wasnt introduced next year, it would compensate CST losses for that period as well, Modi said.

Andhra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, West Bengal and Haryana would benefit the most from CST compensation. A provision for compensation to be paid in line with the August 2008 formula is likely to be made in Budget 2013-14.

Finance Minister P Chidambaram had recently said if states arrived at a consensus, he would give an outline for GST in the Budget.

States demanded whenever GST was implemented, compensation should be provided for five years. States fear in the first few years, they would make heavy losses. Though the Centre has assured compensation, states want a mechanism so that they dont have to go to the Union government with a begging bowl, Modi said.

New Delhi, Feb 1, 2013,

The Supreme Court on Friday cleared the decks for holding urban local bodies elections in Karnataka on the basis of the 2001 census.

A bench of justices H L Gokhale and Madan B Lokur made strong observations against the State government over its failure to provide the fresh list of reserved seats to the State Election Commission (SEC), saying that it did not want the will of the people reflected in the local bodies polls before the Assembly elections.

The court gave two days to the State government to furnish the list of reserved seats and in case it failed, the SEC could proceed on the present reservation of seats.

The position which emerges is, whereas the State Election Commission is keen to hold elections as required under the Constitution and the law, the State government is not inclined to hold it. The grounds given is revision of census figure and required rotation of seats in reserved category, the bench noted.

In view of the situation, the SEC is within its rights and powers to proceed with the elections as required under the Constitution and law on the basis of existing rolls. As far as reservation list is concerned, the State government is to furnish the list by February 3. In the event of its failure, the SEC can proceed with present reservation of seats, the bench said.

The court dismissed the special leave petitions filed by Raju Chavan, a Bijapur resident, and the State government, challenging the Karnataka High Court order passed in December last, refusing to issue any direction to the SEC to conduct polls as per provisional 2011 census.

Senior advocate P P Rao, appearing for the Karnataka government, urged the court to give at least three months to provide the list containing the required rotation of seats in reserved category, but the court remained unmoved.

He also suggested that as the term for the Assembly was getting over sometime in May, there would not be any difficulty to provide the list by then and both the polls could be held simultaneously.

As far as census figure is concerned, it is not in hand. As far as reservation list is concerned, the High Court has given them (State government) two occasions and informed the SEC about the manner in which it is to be done. On December 20, the High Court finally gave two days time, but they did not take any step, making the SEC to move the HC with a contempt petition, the court observed.

SC clears decks for ULB polls

Making her position public for the first time on the row over Vishwaroopam, a film made by Kamal Haasan, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on Thursday said the decks could be cleared for the screening of the movie if leaders of Muslim organisations and the actor arrived at an amicable agreement and he agreed to delete objectionable portions.

No question of curbing freedom of speech

The government of Tamil Nadu will do everything possible to facilitate such an agreement. There is no question of curbing freedom of speech, the Chief Minister told reporters at an unscheduled press conference here.

Clarifying several points on the controversy, she said it was a total misconception that the State government did not have powers to ban a movie. Section 7 of the Tamil Nadu Cinemas (Regulation) Act, 1955, provided full powers to the State government to effect a ban. She pointed out that using the clause, the movie Dam 999 was banned and this was upheld by the Supreme Court.

No political vendetta

In the case of Vishwaroopam, the State government had applied only Section 144 of the Cr.PC because it wanted to give time for tempers to cool down and both sides could come together. The government could have straight away banned the movie, if it wanted to do so. But it did not. That itself should prove that this is not political vendetta. There is no reason for any vindictiveness. Mr. Haasan is not my rival in any way, she added.

On Wednesday, Mr. Haasan had agreed to delete some of the objectionable portions. The leaders of Muslim organisations are in a frame of mind to accept this, she said.

As her first and foremost priority was the maintenance of law and order, she justified the ban, citing intelligence reports which stated that the protest, planned by various Muslim organisations, could turn violent in some parts of the State.

She also referred to inadequate police strength for giving protection at 524 cinema halls where the movie was to be screened.

The Chief Minister criticised Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam president M. Karunanidhi for using every opportunity to politicise the issue. As far as her government was concerned, the controversy was not a political issue but a matter of law and order.
