Wow, I actually had to bookmark a site! this is a first. Keep it up
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Europe’s fiscal crisis can’t be solved in one go, damping expectations that government leaders may resolve the region’s debt woes at a July 21 summit.
“There won’t be one spectacular step” this week, Merkel told reporters in Hanover, Germany, today. “It’s entirely about creating a controlled, composed process of gradual steps and measures.”
Merkel’s comments come as European officials struggle to agree on measures to fight a crisis that is spreading from Greece and today sparked a jump in Spanish financing costs after a treasury bill auction. Policy makers are split on how to prod investors into financing a new Greek bailout package and whether the 17-nation euro area should issue eurobonds to help debt- laden nations tap markets.
The euro rose 0.5 percent to $1.4177 at 4:01 p.m. in Berlin, from $1.4112 yesterday, after earlier rising 0.7 percent. The yield on 10-year German government bonds, the region’s benchmark, increased six basis points to 2.71 percent.
“I don’t expect European leaders to reach a decision this week,” said David Kohl, deputy chief economist at Julius Baer Group in Frankfurt. “They’ll continue to fight over whether to include bondholders or not. Still, a Greek debt restructuring wouldn’t be a solution to the problem.”
Second EU Summit
European Union leaders plan to meet for the second time in a month on July 21 in Brussels, aiming to break a deadlock over a new Greek rescue that has spooked investors. There are no current plans for euro region finance ministers to convene as a group before the leaders’ summit, said an EU official, who declined to be identified because preparations for the meeting are ongoing.
Spanish and Italian bond yields surged yesterday, piling pressure on officials to end the turmoil. Spain and Greece sold 6.08 billion euros ($8.6 billion) of bills today. The Treasury in Madrid said it sold 3.79 billion euros of 12-month bills at an average yield of 3.702 percent, compared with 2.695 percent the last time the securities were sold on June 14.
Merkel said the euro region’s problems must be solved “from the core,” which means reducing debt and increasing competitiveness.
Governments Squabble
Europe’s debt crisis has worsened this month as EU governments squabble with each other and with the European Central Bank about what to do. ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet said July 10 that Europe is at the “epicenter” of a debt crisis that concerns the entire developed world and urged the euro area to do the “maximum” in terms of governance reforms.
Merkel’s comments came after Austrian Finance Minister Maria Fekter said EU leaders would seek a “comprehensive solution” to Greece’s debt crisis and stop the contagion threat at their summit. She told reporters in Vienna today the European Financial Stability Facility probably needs “more flexibility” and that Greece may need longer repayment times for its rescue loans.
EU leaders have a “menu of options,” Francois Perol, head of the French Banking Federation, told reporters today in Paris. “Some might be interested by forms of buyback, others by renewal formulas,” he said, declining to give further details.
Greek Yields Surge
Yields on Spanish and Italian 10-year and Greek two-year bonds hit euro-era records yesterday. Spanish 10-year yields fell 15 basis points to 6.17 percent as of 11:09 a.m. in Rome, narrowing the spread over German bunds to 346 basis points. Greek two-year yields surged 113 basis points to 37.10 percent, while Italy’s 10-year bond yield dropped 23 basis points to 5.74 percent.
Some finance ministers have started to zero in on eurobonds as part of the fix for a crisis that has ricocheted through the euro region for more than 18 months and is now threatening to engulf two of its biggest members. While jointly issuing bonds with Germany may help debt-laden nations tap markets at lower interest rates, it could also raise borrowing costs for Europe’s largest economy.
The European Affairs spokesman for Merkel’s Bavarian Christian Social Union ally in parliament, Thomas Silberhorn, said joint euro region bond sales would “overstretch solidarity” between the region’s members as they would force donor countries such as Germany to accept liability for the debts of all other members.
‘Credit Event’
While Germany wants private investors to participate in a second bailout package for Greece, Trichet says the ECB won’t accept Greek government bonds as collateral for loans in the event of a default or “credit event.”
EU President Herman van Rompuy has asked leaders to meet in Brussels to discuss “the financial stability of the euro area as a whole and the future financing of the Greek program.” Yesterday, stocks declined around the world, the euro fell and the cost of insuring European sovereign debt rose to records amid concern the euro region isn’t any closer to solving the crisis a year after Greece’s initial rescue.
A summit was originally mulled for last week before being postponed amid German fears it would backfire without a pact on private-sector involvement. Germany’s government says no extra aid is possible without bondholders staying exposed to Greek debt.
The euro-region recovery is losing momentum as leaders struggle to contain the crisis. In Germany, Europe’s largest economy, investor confidence dropped to the lowest in 2 1/2 years in July, the ZEW Center for European Economic Research in Mannheim said today. European economic confidence dropped in June and manufacturing growth slowed.

Atlantic International Partnership Headlines: DOJ approves Microsoft’s acquisition of Skype
http://updates.atlanticinternationalpartnershipreviews.com/2011/06/atlantic-international-partnership-headlines-doj-approves-microsoft%E2%80%99s-acquisition-of-skype/
Microsoft’s takeover of VoIP operator Skype has cleared one regulatory hurdle: the Justice Department has tacitly approved the deal.
The U.S. Department of Justice has tacitly approved Microsoft’s recently-announced plan to acquire VoIP operator Skype, granting “early termination” to its review of the proposed takeover. The early termination action essentially means that the Justice Department found no reason to believe the acquisition would harm competition or negatively impact consumers.
Last month, Microsoft announced plans to pay some $8.5 billion to take over Skype—the deal values Skype at more than three times the amount equity firm Silver Lake paid for Skype when the operation was spun out of eBay back in 2009. Although Microsoft seems bullish on the idea—and apparently brought founder Bill Gates back into the loop to seal the deal—market watchers are wondering exactly how Microsoft will leverage Skype. Although Skype is by far the dominant player in VoIP communications, the company hasn’t so far hasn’t found a good way to turn its service into a solid revenue stream. Skype does charge for calling services to and from landlines and mobile phones, but since day one many of its users have opted for free Skype-to-Skype communications.
Microsoft so far has announced only non-specific plans to expand the existing Skype brand, and operate Skype as a separate division within the company. Industry watchers have speculated Microsoft will integrate Skype with the company’s digital advertising and business conferencing offerings.
[Correction: The original version of this article said the Federal Trade Commission had approved the acquisition; this was a misunderstanding based on the FTC processing the early termination listing on behalf of the Justice Department.]
Atlantic International Partnership Headlines: Mano Menezes explains exclusion of Real Madrid’s Kaka from Brazil squad
http://updates.atlanticinternationalpartnershipreviews.com/tag/aip-madrid/

Brazil coach Mano Menezes has explained why he did not recall Real Madrid ace Kaka to his squad for their friendly against Germany next month.
The 29-year-old was omitted from the 23-man team, with Menezes preferring to select six new players.
Dede, Ralf, Luiz Gustavo, Renato Augusto, Fernandinho and Jonas are the new faces in the squad, and when asked why Kaka was not included, the coach explained he is looking at other solutions for the time being.
He stated: “We are at a stage where we are looking for reliable players in this phase of transition and those who can help with this. It depends on Kaka’s performances as a player and the form he is in.
“I was always clear from the beginning regarding the future. There is no need for me to call him up and test him again. I think we have a good mix for a strong team, with ample support in reserve when we need it.”
Brazil were heavily criticised for their lack of application in the final third during the Copa America, after crashing out at the quarter-final stage to Paraguay.
However, the former Corinthians coach has promised that his side will be more offensive-minded in the future, whilst hinting at a return to their Samba style.
“When you do not get a result, everyone calls the coach into question, and the only way we can stop this is by winning matches,” he admitted.
“I will ensure the selection becomes more stable and we want to return to our former ways; that is to take risks and play the kind of football that everybody wants to see.”

Altlantic International Partnership Headlines: Fukushima fallout: Japan to go slow on nuke talks with India
http://atlanticinternationalpartnershipnews.com/2011/06/altlantic-international-partnership-headlines-fukushima-fallout-japan-to-go-slow-on-nuke-talks-with-india/
| Ambassador Akitaka Saiki took over as Japan’s envoy to India in early March 2011. Though the eminent diplomat has a distinguished career spanning about 35 years, it is the first time he has been given the task of managing Japan’s relations with India. It is not his first brush with India though. Saiki has fond memories of traveling in India, when his father was the Deputy Chief of Mission in the Japanese Embassy in New Delhi in late 1960s. He looks at India as a country that has a historical connect with Japan and hopes to further deepen the bilateral economic, political and cultural ties during his tenure. Sadly, soon after he took office as Japan’s Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to India, his country was hit by an earthquake and a tsunami on March 11, resulting in a crisis in Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. In an interview with ANIRBAN BHAUMIK of Deccan Herald, Ambassador Saiki, who is on a visit to Bangalore from Monday to Wednesday, however says that Japan would remain firm in its commitment to help ‘old friend’ India to build infrastructure, although its own economy suffered a jolt due to the recent natural disasters. He, however, says that bilateral talks on civil nuclear cooperation have slowed down a bit after the accident in Fukushima. | |
| Can you please give us a brief overview of the Japan-India relation and its prospects for future? Japan’s relation with India has its roots in history. India is the place from which Buddhism spread to Japan almost 1500 years ago, via China and Korea, and, therefore, occupies a very special place in the hearts of the people of Japan. The two countries are now strengthening their ties as strategic partners, not just in this part of the world, but also in various arenas globally, and emerging as true ‘Global Partners’. The 2000 visit of the then Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori to India in fact marked a new beginning in the bilateral relation and it was re-affirmed that the two countries were indispensable strategic partners to each other. It was then decided that Prime Ministers of both countries would take turn to visit the other every year. Since then we have been making very hard efforts to strengthen bilateral relations in the political, economic and cultural areas. If you look at maps, Japan and India are located nearly 6000 kilometers away from each other. We have been treating each other as very important partners from the geo-strategic viewpoint. It is only natural that the two countries come close at the strategic level. We have a giant neighbour in common. There are many levels of dialogues between Japan and India. At the top, we have a dialogue between Prime Ministers. We have a strategic dialogue at the level of Foreign Ministers. We have just added another– a Ministerial Dialogue on Economic Issues to be led by Foreign Ministers, with participation of ministers holding finance, commerce and environment portfolios. We are now discussing a date and a venue to hold the dialogue. We have a Foreign Secretary level dialogue too. So we are looking forward to the intensification of consultations at all levels. Indian Defence Minister is expected to go to Tokyo sometime this year to hold talks with his counterparts in Japan. So, on a whole, I think we have very excellent bilateral ties and the future of our strategic partnership looks very promising | |
Altlantic International Partnership Headlines: The Day the Internet Shut Down. LOL.
http://atlanticinternationalpartnershipnews.com/2011/06/altlantic-international-partnership-headlines-the-day-the-internet-shut-down-lol/
On June 14, the day designated as Titanic Takeover Tuesday, a group of hackers known as LulzSec took down the website of the CIA, hacked into 62,000 email accounts and organized a telephone call-in request line for hackers to flood the phone lines of the FBI. And that’s just days after they hacked into the U.S. Senate website, took down the Sony PlayStation Network, defaced the PBS website and generally wreaked havoc on sites across the Internet. Unlike the hacktivist splinter group Anonymous, LulzSec makes no pretense of doing anything more than generally pranking the Internet – if you consider hacking into the official websites of the U.S. government a “prank.”
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.
Certainly, the U.S. government isn’t smiling, especially since any U.S. Senate hack could result in sensitive information being distributed to the Web. It’s also more than a bit embarrassing that our national intelligence folks – the guys who gave the greenlight to that whole DARPA Internet thing, are looking like The Internet Gang That Couldn’t Shoot Straight. Government officials claim that hackers such as LulzSec are in violation of Computer Fraud acts, and could land up to 20 years in federal prison. In Spain, the authorities rounded up and arrested a bunch of Anonymous hackers, tipped off by the V for Vendetta masks they left behind on their computers.
One thing is clear – the U.S. applauds when hacktivists and democratic activists take down the websites of anti-democratic governments in the Middle East. The applause is much less appreciative when that style of Internet activism extends into places like, well, Sweden. We fight against ham-fisted attempts to control the mythical Internet Kill Switch in Syria and Iran and China, but are eager to shut things down the moment that the hackers get a bit rambunctious at home. The Day the Internet Shut Down (aka #TitanicTakeoverTuesday) will be remembered as the day we lost our collective innocence on the Internet: The cute overload LOL Cats sank on the Internet Titanic.

Altlantic International Partnership Headlines: LulzSec Takes Hit, Keeps On Hacking
http://atlanticinternationalpartnershipreviews.com/2011/07/altlantic-international-partnership-headlines-lulzsec-takes-hit-keeps-on-hacking/
British authorities charge teenager with launching DDoS attack, and anti-LulzSec group says it’s tracing identities of the hacking group’s members.
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. 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: Will ‘The Donald’ get the spotlight back from Obama?
http://altlantic-internationalpartnership.com/2011/05/atlantic-international-partnership-headlines-will-the-donald-get-the-spotlight-back-from-obama/
Donald Trump, who doesn’t hesitate to make painfully blunt remarks, sort of got overlooked during the past week, and will have to work diligently to recover his popularity.
Trump’s speedy ascent to the top in Republican polls with a signature pompous capture of media attention that surprised the political world, is now at risk. Many have sneered at the idea that he is serious about his presidential expectations. Now, he will have to pick himself up, brush himself off and get back into the fight.
The killing of Osama bin Laden, and the success of Barack Obama’s administration have drawn attention away from other candidates, as well as Trump. Since Trump was so loudly vocal on the subject of “the birth certificate,” the impact of Obama’s success was even more devastating to him. During the time when Obama’s birth certificate was receiving so much attention and he made the statement stating he had “other things to do,” the world wasn’t aware Obama was referring to the planning of a daring raid by helicopter, to destroy a “most-wanted” terrorist and murderer.
It is no surprise that Obama leads Trump by a hefty percentage in a “Newsweek/Daily Beast poll” taken after the mission to get bin Laden. Trump’s popularity dropped considerably as 64% of the people polled expressed negative feelings about him.
At the “White House Correspondents” Dinner, Trump was roasted to an embarrassingly great extent, and SNL also referred to Trump as a joke. These events inferred that he was not serious in his pursuit of the presidential position. Trump has avoided speaking publicly since the death of bin Laden, except for congratulating President Obama and he gave no response to a request for an interview, as well as canceling TV appearances.
Who knows how The Donald will overcome this hurdle and how or if, he will respond to the claims revealed by NY1 cable station, saying he never voted in primary elections for a period of 21 years; the information that he disclosed about a high draft lottery number keeping him from fighting in Vietnam, which was found to be debatable, if not untrue; the “Smoking Gun Website,” which stated a series of student deferments were received by Trump in college and then, after graduation, that he got a medical deferment?
Trump has a reputation for getting headlines. All of these actions and reactions are proverbial fodder for the media. This is not an indication, however, that Trump can steal the show again and seriously get himself back into the race for President, but the fact is, he certainly knows how to garner attention and news.
President Obama has now put himself in an enviable position – one that will be difficult to overcome.
Trump’s speedy ascent to the top in Republican polls with a signature pompous capture of media attention that surprised the political world, is now at risk. Many have sneered at the idea that he is serious about his presidential expectations. Now, he will have to pick himself up, brush himself off and get back into the fight.
The killing of Osama bin Laden, and the success of Barack Obama’s administration have drawn attention away from other candidates, as well as Trump. Since Trump was so loudly vocal on the subject of “the birth certificate,” the impact of Obama’s success was even more devastating to him. During the time when Obama’s birth certificate was receiving so much attention and he made the statement stating he had “other things to do,” the world wasn’t aware Obama was referring to the planning of a daring raid by helicopter, to destroy a “most-wanted” terrorist and murderer.
It is no surprise that Obama leads Trump by a hefty percentage in a “Newsweek/Daily Beast poll” taken after the mission to get bin Laden. Trump’s popularity dropped considerably as 64% of the people polled expressed negative feelings about him.
At the “White House Correspondents” Dinner, Trump was roasted to an embarrassingly great extent, and SNL also referred to Trump as a joke. These events inferred that he was not serious in his pursuit of the presidential position. Trump has avoided speaking publicly since the death of bin Laden, except for congratulating President Obama and he gave no response to a request for an interview, as well as canceling TV appearances.
Who knows how The Donald will overcome this hurdle and how or if, he will respond to the claims revealed by NY1 cable station, saying he never voted in primary elections for a period of 21 years; the information that he disclosed about a high draft lottery number keeping him from fighting in Vietnam, which was found to be debatable, if not untrue; the “Smoking Gun Website,” which stated a series of student deferments were received by Trump in college and then, after graduation, that he got a medical deferment?
