Atlantic International Partnership Headlines:US holds photos of slain bin Laden, weighs release
http://atlanticinternationalpartnershipnews.com/2011/05/atlantic-international-partnership-headlinesus-holds-photos-of-slain-bin-laden-weighs-release/WASHINGTON – U.S. officials weighed the pros and cons of releasing secret video and photos of Osama bin Laden, killed with a precision shot above his left eye, as fresh details emerged Tuesday of an audacious American raid that netted potentially crucial al-Qaida records as well as the body of the global terrorist leader.
President Barack Obama is going to ground zero in New York to mark the milestone and remember the dead of 9/11.
White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan said the U.S. already was scouring items seized in the raid — said to include hard drives, DVD’s, documents and more that might tip U.S. intelligence to al-Qaida’s operational details and perhaps lead the manhunt to the presumed next-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahri.

Atlantic International Partnership Headlines:Royal Wedding: Boom or bust?
http://atlanticinternationalpartnershipnews.com/2011/05/atlantic-international-partnership-headlinesroyal-wedding-boom-or-bust/Offices across the UK have been spookily quiet the past few days. First there was the Easter holidays, followed swiftly by the extended Royal Wedding / May Day Bank Holiday weekend. Many workers deemed the three day week in between these two mega-weekends as insignificant, and by taking just three days vacation many could be out of the office for 11 days. So has the Royal Wedding hindered the productivity of the UK economy?

atlantic international partnership, Bank of Nova Scotia, financial news, headlines, news articles
http://altlanticinternationalpartnership.net/2011/05/tsx-sides-with-bank-of-nova-scotia-on-ci-financial-vote/CI Financial, one of the country’s largest independent mutual management companies, found out at 5:10 pm Friday – “yes the TSX always works to 5.10 pm every Friday,” noted Bill Holland,
CI’s executive chairman – that it is not in the club.
But the Bank of Nova Scotia, which also happens to be CI’s largest shareholder with a 36% stake – though Holland would regard them as its most significant competitor – is definitely part of the club. Somehow, and CI would say against all logic and facts, the bank managed to convince the Listings Committee of the TSX that it was entitled to vote on the upcoming extension of CI’s shareholders rights plan. The original shareholders rights plan was put into effect in late 2008 and was slated to run for six years. CI’s independent shareholders, but not BNS, were scheduled to vote on extending the plan. Now, thanks to the TSX intervention, BNS will get to vote.

Atlantic International Partnership Headlines:New financial authority to launch tomorrow
http://altlanticinternationalpartnership.net/2011/05/about-us/Tomorrow morning Sean Hughes will get down to work as the head of the new Financial Markets Authority, an opportunity he says was too good to refuse.
“Our number one priority is to lift investor confidence in the New Zealand market and grow that market. That means getting people comfortable about coming back and investing in the sharemarket and other markets,” he says.
Around $8.5 billion was lost in recent the finance company meltdown, almost $2000 for every New Zealander.
“It’s been a tragedy what’s happened and we accept that,” Mr Hughes says.
“The last eight, 10 years the existing regulator has sort of sat on the fence, I think I’d characterise that as an ambulance at the bottom of the cliff. And a pretty late arriving one at that,” says John Hawkins of the Shareholders’ Association.
The new authority will have extra powers and an increased budget.
