Atlantic International Partnership Headlines: Madrid and Istanbul set to enter 2020 Olympics

http://your-story.org/atlantic-international-partnership-headlines-madrid-and-istanbul-set-to-enter-2020-olympics-bidding-race-254092/

The Spanish capital of Madrid and Istanbul in Turkey are set to join the race to host the 2020 Olympics after the two cities moved a step closer to submitting official bids on Wednesday.

At a press conference, Madrid Mayor Alberto Ruiz-Gallardon, flanked by spokesmen for the two main political parties in Spain, said he would present a bid proposal to city legislators for a vote on July 20. Madrid came desperately close to securing the hosting rights in the tenders for the 2012 and 2016 Games. Although there are serious concerns about Spain’s economy, and the country’s Sports Minister has admitted “if this (financial downturn) did not exist, our support would have been automatic”, Ruiz-Gallardon insisted that the Games could provide a timely boost.

“Madrid has finished an extremely high percentage of the infrastructure needed for the organisation of the Olympics and Paralympics and can count on the experience of the previous two bids and the recognition of the Olympic family,” Gallardon said, according to Reuters. “The completed work means the cost of the bid will be significantly less, following criterion of austerity and efficiency with the highest possible return for the image of Madrid and Spain.”

Turkey’s Sports Minister, Suat Kilic, told CNN-Turk television on Wednesday that Turkey was set to make its bid for the 2020 Games official, and added: “We are one of the rare countries that can shoulder the financial burden of the Olympics.” Kilic said that a final decision would be made by July 29 after a meeting with Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, although the International Olympic Committee’s deadline for applicant city nominations is September 1.

http://www.kazor.com/2011/01/atlantic-international-partnership-%E2%80%93-markets-mutual-funds-and-stocks/

(kazor.com)– Mutual Funds – At AIP, it is our philosophy to help you build the secure financial future that you are looking for. Mutual Funds are one option available through AIP. Mutual funds can be an important part of any portfolio in helping you reach those goals.

Here are descriptions of the vast array of mutual fund choices and mutual fund related services offered by AIP. For more information contact your AIP Advisor – Money Market Funds, Bond/Income Funds, Balanced Funds and Equity Funds.

One of the main advantages to the smaller investor that mutual funds can provide is access to our team of professional advisers and fund managers. They will also have access to equity portfolios, bonds and other securities. For the smaller investor the kind of access to such resources and opportunities may be almost impossible to achieve with only small amounts of capital available for investment. Each shareholder in a mutual fund participates proportionally in any gains or losses.

Stocks – At Atlantic International Partnership we have years of experience and a record which is second to none. A record which supports our belief that for the serious investor the best way to reach their long term goals are with stocks. We believe stocks should form the major part of any successful investment portfolio and that investing in early stage companies are the single most important component of any successful investment strategy.
If you are looking to build up your wealth, it is investing in stocks which should play a considerable proportion of your investment portfolio. At AIP we will provide you with an investment advisor who’s sole task is to help you find the correct equity investments that suit your investment profile. Your AIP investment advisor will build up a relationship with you, he/she will take time to get to know you and your financial health. You can feel sure that the recommendations you will receive will allow you to position yourself to reach your financial goals.
AIP investment advisers have access to market leading research from AIP’s widely recognised team of equity analysts, the kind of information normally available to institutional investors and pension funds. This means you will have access to the very best quality research that goes into every equity recommendation from your personal advisor.
Here at Atlantic International Partnership, Madrid, Spain we aim to deliver to all our clients a consistent level of returns on their investments. We aim to do this by applying our dedicated methods strictly to any investment process. Our processes are built around our thorough efforts into investment research and our strong focus on asset allocation according to the kind of investment profile our clients possess. Such investment profiles are determined by one of our senior advisers after a successful interview of a prospective client investor. Through these actions we are able to construct for each investor a innovative portfolio. Such a construction involves the development of an investment strategy, the appropriate asset allocation and a combination our best investment managers and our extensive portfolio of companies.

Atlantic International Partnership Headlines: LulzSec Takes Hit, Keeps On Hacking

http://atlanticinternationalpartnershipreviews.com/category/business/

Slideshow: 10 Massive Security Breaches

The hacking group known as LulzSec shows no signs of slowing down. Early on Wednesday, the group announced that it had taken offline Brazil’s official government website, as well as the Brazilian president’s website. As of Wednesday afternoon, both sites still appeared to be unreachable.LulzSec’s activities and taunts come despite the arrest of a 19-year-old hacking suspect on Tuesday, outside London, who was reportedly involved in the group. “Seems the glorious leader of LulzSec got arrested, it’s all over now… wait… we’re all still here! Which poor bastard did they take down?” said LulzSec via Twitter.

We spoke with Chris Sather, Product Management for Network Defense at McAfee about McAfee’s next generation firewalls that analyze relationships and not protocols.

LulzSec said the person arrested by British police, named by authorities on Wednesday as Ryan Cleary, ran a server on which one of LulzSec’s many chat rooms had been hosted. “Clearly the UK police are so desperate to catch us that they’ve gone and arrested someone who is, at best, mildly associated with us. Lame,” said the group via Twitter.
On Wednesday, British police charged Cleary on multiple counts, including an October 2010 distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack against the British Phonographic Industry website, and Monday’s botnet-driven DDoS attack against the UK’s Serious Organized Crime Agency (SOCA) website. That attack occurred under the #AntiSec banner, which is a LulzSec’s joint operation with Anonymous.

Atlantic International Partnership Headlines: The Day the Internet Shut Down. LOL.

http://atlanticinternationalpartnershipnews.com/Sports/madrid-news/

Lulz, of course, is the plural form of LOL, and typically gets translated as “just for kicks.” As in, “Hey, we just took down the CIA website. We did it for the lulz.” Or, “I just threw a pie in your face and slashed your car’s tires. Epic lulz.” While Anonymous takes on political and moral issues – like the arrest of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange or the situation in Iran – with hacktivist-style interventions, LulzSec is more content to pull Ashton Kutcher-style Internet pranks and laugh about it with 180,000 of their closest Twitter followers. Decide for yourself: the unofficial symbol of Anonymous is the V for Vendetta mask, while the unofficial symbol of LulzSec looks like that cartoon Proust guy from Vanity Fair. (Or maybe it’s the Pringles guy? LOL.)
So what does it mean for the future of the Internet that LulzSec has been systematically pranking some of the world’s largest corporations and governments? Is it a “bad new world” for the Internet (as Sony CEO Howard Stringer put it) — a fateful sign that the Internet Kill Switch might be a lot easier to access than any of us ever thought? Or just some harmless pranks by a bunch of script kiddies with really powerful computers, looking for a few laughs and some attention from the world?
If you check out the LulzSec website, they announce their mission statement: to bring high-quality fun back to the Internet (at your expense, of course. LOL). Turn up the volume: there’s the theme from The Love Boat playing, and a painfully rudimentary-looking website. Seriously, governments are supposed to be afraid of these people? Are you laughing? Maybe, umm, that is, as long as your credit card data hasn’t been swiped, your email account info wasn’t made public, or your Sony PlayStation videogame wasn’t taken offline for days at a time.

Atlantic International Partnership Headlines: Elders Offer Help at Japan’s Crippled Reactor

http://atlanticinternationalpartnership-headlines.com/“It would benefit society if the older generation took the job because we will get less damage from working there,” said Yasuteru Yamada.
Seemingly against logic, Yasuteru Yamada, 72, is eager for the chance to take part. After seeing hundreds of younger men on television struggle to control the damage at the Daiichi power plant, Mr. Yamada struck on an idea: Recruit other older engineers and other specialists to help tame the rogue reactors.
Not only do they have some of the skills needed, but because of their advanced age, they are at less risk of getting cancer and other diseases that develop slowly as a result of exposure to high levels of radiation. Their volunteering would spare younger Japanese from dangers that could leave them childless, or worse.
“We have to contain this accident, and for that, someone should do the work,” said Mr. Yamada, a retired plant engineer who had worked for Sumitomo Metal Industries. “It would benefit society if the older generation took the job because we will get less damage from working there.”
Weeks after the devastating earthquake and tsunami struck, he and Nobuhiro Shiotani, a childhood friend who is also an engineer, formed the Skilled Veterans Corps in early April. They sent out thousands of e-mails and letters, and even set up a Twitter account. On his blog, bouhatsusoshi.jp/english, Mr. Yamada called on people over age 60 who have “the physical strength and experience to bear the burden of this front-line work.”
