"The dollar is being sold at 110.30 per dollar by the Bank of Ceylon, which sold dollars at 110 up until Friday on behalf of central bank to support the rupee," a currency dealer told Reuters on condition of anonymity.

Shuttle Landing: Beautiful; Progress Docking: Last-Minute Excitement

Sunday was a busy day for human spaceflight, as space shuttle Endeavour landed safely at Edwards Air Force Base in California, and a Progress re-supply ship docked at the International Space Station. While the shuttle landing went off without a hitch, problems developed with an automated docking system for the Progress ship, forcing a last-minute switch to a manual docking, performed by Russian cosmonaut Yuri Lonchakov. A series of problems including the loss of frequency information and unexpected toggling of the automatic system's tracking displays occurred, Russian news agencies reported. But Lonchakov, who was already at the manual controls as a precaution, took over from the automated system when the Progress was about 30 meters (98 feet) from the station and guided it flawlessly to the docking port within a few minutes.
