NATO is meeting for the second day in Chicago even though there are some demonstrations that are getting out of control. They are trying to decide the best technique to pay for Afghanistan’s security forces.

According to Obama NATO can agree to the timetable for withdrawing soldiers and a plan that will be long term to help Afghanistan security forces.

Within 19 miles the goal is to have the war ended. Even though the troops will be out of Afghanistan the people will not be standing alone when they start standing up.

According to Obama he is expecting NATO to agree with the withdrawal plans of the troops. He is also reassuring Karzai that NATO will not completely abandon the country. Everyone has sacrificed together when it comes to security and will continue to do so until the mission is completely finished.

Both Karzai and Obama have agreed the war is almost over. Karzai is for the timetable so his country can stand up and take charge so they will no longer be a burden to the countries that have helped them.

The Obama plan is for letting the Afghan forces take control of security by the middle of next year. NATO will still have troops present for training and helping the Afghan forces beef up until the end of 2014. At that time the NATO troops will leave. There is a possibility that some British forces will stay behind just to make sure the country will not be alone.

In order to end the war completely though, Pakistan has to be able to reach agreements with Taliban. Right now Pakistan has many routes on the ground closed to Afghanistan so NATO supplies cannot make it through.

Even though Tehran will not acknowledge the structure, a drawing was made on a computer and then an official of another country, that is tracking the nuclear program in Iran, gave the drawing to The Associated Press.

An informant gave the information to the official claiming to have actually been at the Parchin military site and seen the existing chamber.

According to a senior IAEA official the drawing is very accurate. According to Olli Heinonen he seen another photo last year that looks similar to the one that is computer generated. He also believes in Parchin the pressure chamber exists.

Even though he would not give up the source he said the colors of the chamber are the same in the two pictures.

On Monday in Vienna for two days the Iranian officials will meet with IAEA where they hope to gain access to the building that contains the chamber. The meeting is going to be closely watched by powers of six. They hope to persuade Iran to reduce everyone’s fears of an atomic arms being developed for the May 23^rd meeting in Baghdad between the Tehran and the six.

Even though the six, this is Russia, United States, Britain, China, Germany and France, were able to calm Israel last month about attacking Iran and their nuclear facility the talks next month will determine it the warning will become a reality.

The IAEA has been trying to probe the area in Iran but has not been successful yet. Even though the IAEA maintains there are pictures and information proving the chamber exists they are keeping their resources quiet. No matter how many time Iran is asked they still maintain they are not doing anything wrong but will not confirm or deny the structure.

Last month the agent left the group Yemen and was able to bring the bombs along with information about leaders, many locations, their plans and methods to the CIA, foreign allied intelligence and Saudi intelligence agencies.

The agent actually works for Saudi intelligence service and the identity is under wraps. Even though he was not under the supervision of the CIA he had full knowledge.

The agent was able to spend weeks at one of the most dangerous affiliates of Al Qaeda’s center. Enough information was given to the CIA that a drone strike was done on Sunday and Fahd Mohammed Ahmed al-Quso was killed. Fahd was known as the external operations director of the group and was suspected of bombing the U.S.S. Cole in 2000 in Yemen.

He was able to give the FBI his bomb that was special designed to go untraced in any airport checks. Agent has made it out unharmed and is safe in Saudi Arabia. Everything was kept quiet in fear of the agent and his family receiving retaliation by the group. Everyone has been moved and is in safe locations. It is believed the bomb was made by Ibrahim Hassan al-Asiri who is the group’s expert skilled maker of bombs. He is believed to be behind the bombs that failed aboard an airliner going over Detroit on 25^th of Dec. in 2009.

The bomb was a new device that would have probably gone unnoticed in a pat down since it was actually sewn into underwear that were custom fit according to a American senior official. This type of bomb could be detonated in two different ways. If the first attempt failed there would be a backup to trigger the bomb.

Frank Boulben is taking over as the marketing chief and was handed the task of reinventing the BlackBerry that will be paired up with new devices.

Kristian Tear is the chief operating officer and is in charge of managing all the logistics on the BlackBerry 10 launch. He is going to oversee development and research, sales globally, supply chain and manufacturing management, along with operational functions of all handhelds along with services.

Over the past year while the position was open RIM launched their PlayBook tablet. Unfortunately the launch did not stop the stocks from falling over the past 13 months by 75 percent.

According to Colin Gills he agrees the company has strengths they have just been a mess with trying to bring things to the marketplace.

Boulben’s background with consumer companies could actually be a plus for the company RIM. Boulben experienced success with Vodafone and Orange and now RIM is hoping he will have the same success with RIM.

Now Tear is going to see what can be done so everything can be delivered in a timely manner. This is an area that was lacking in the past.

While many are backing Boulben there is still some that are questioning whether he can pull off the launch. The doubts come from the way he marketed LightSquared. While there were many wholesale customers that made deals there was one multi-billion dollar deal with the company Sprint Nextel Corp that ended up falling through. Time will tell shortly if these two men are capable of saving RIM.

UK is taking things even a step farther then the U.S. has. If you are planning on going drinking then be ready to show 2 forms of ID. You will have to show the bouncer a photo ID and then you will be asked to use your phone and let them see your Facebook. This is how the bouncer is able to verify you are not using a fake ID to enter the bar.

Can you imagine waiting in line at one of the hottest clubs in N.Y. and being asked to whip out your iPhone and pull up your Facebook? Considering how reliable the AT&T service is the chances are there would not be any drinking that night at the club. Thank goodness that is not how the United States verifies ID’s and there are no plans in the future for doing such a thing.

According to Evans Facebook is not a reliable source for verifying your identity. Evans has a company that uses TeleCheck for verifying ID’s. The bartender just slides the ID through and the bar code on the back will let the bartender know if it is okay for you to actually purchase the drink.

It does not matter if you are a bartender in the U.S. or the UK if you get caught serving a drink to an underage person then there are fines in place. So it is important to always check ID’s before serving!

As Apple and Google produce their products to stay up with the demands and are being used by even professionals now RIM is hoping their BlackBerry 10 will not disappoint.

According to Heins the company had lost focus and is going to get back on track.

RIM gave their investors a sneak peek of their smartphones that are next-generation along with their tools for making apps. Then on Tuesday the stock fell another 6%.  Even though on Wednesday the stock fell another 5.3% RIM is not saying much about how they are going to bounce back. All together in just the last 13 months the stocks have fallen about 75%.

When Heins was at a news conference he made it clear where the company went wrong in the past and even stated there were plans for climbing back out of the hole but did not give any details.

According to Stephenson the company is not very transformational and Heins will not be the one that can turn it around.

RIM for the first time in seven years actually reported losing money last quarter. With the BlackBerry 10 around the corner getting ready to make its appearance Heins is not trying to persuade other handset makers to utilize the platform for the BlackBerry 10.

The BlackBerry is sinking because it cannot compete against the competitors and furnish the apps that are desired.  Even though the BlackBerry 7 that was launched last year is bridging the gap one has to wonder if it is too little to late.

It was not long after the news broke that the celebrations began. Everyone that was involved personally with 9/11 could finally close the chapter and feel relieved that the man that sent the orders for twin towers was finally no more.

After the celebrations ended then the questions started. Everything was pretty vague the night before about what had happened in order for Bin Laden’s death. For a year President Obama had been advised of where the most wanted man in the world was probably hiding. It would take a well rounded plan in order to get him though. There were huge walls surrounding the property with barbed wire lining the tops.

An elite team of Navy Seals received their clearance on the 29^th of April, 2011 to move forward with the plan and capture Bin Laden. Even though from start to finish it only took 40 minutes the White House was on edge and waiting.

When the Navy Seals went in everything was caught on tape. There were cameras attached to their helmets so the President and a handful of his people could watch as the raid happened.

Even though there was lots of tapes, computers and other items pulled from Bin Laden’s compound it is not enough proof for the people. Many people do not believe a person is dead until they can see physical evidence, which in this case are the pictures. The White House sees no reason for releasing the pictures and fueling the fire.

Even though Bin Laden was laid to rest almost a year ago the United States knows there is still a lot of work that needs dealt with when looking at all the terrorist groups still out there.

Last week the Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton laid out the U.S. position on the issue and according to French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe Paris is right there with her.

Even though Juppe has made indication that under Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter France is thinking about pushing for Security Council. The only downfall is China and Russia would more then likely veto the resolution, both countries have already made their voices heard and objected to any threats of sanction.

In the last 13 months there have been over 9,000 people killed since the popular uprising that the Syrian government it cracking down on.

There are 300 U.N. observers that Juppe has authorized for going into Syria and has made it clear they will be deployed in 15 days. The Damascus is being asked to comply with Kofi Anna’s peace plan special envoy and May 5^th just might be the deadline.

The Syrian dissidents meet with Juppe at their ministry where he discussed how the mission happens very quickly and that mediation needs to be given a chance. Even though the plan is not completely dead it is compromised.

May 5^th will be the moment of truth when Juppe is hoping for a cease fire that is called for by his six point peace plan. This will actually show if mediation will work or not.

According to Juppe France is already discussing the invoking of Chapter 7 of the U.N. charter with other powers in the world. This would allow military enforcement.

Last week when Clinton meet with Friends of Syria she also mentioned invoking Chapter 7 even though China and Russia might veto it.

Netflix stumbled hard last year all because of their hike in prices. They tried to separate the DVD’s from the streaming and even went so far as to rename the DVD branch. It was unsuccessful and quickly changed after only a few weeks. As investors started growing nervous some major contracts were lost. Starz and Liberty Media are no longer supplying movies. Netflix has been known for its growth of 32 percent in revenues over the last three years. This year they have slowed down to 21 percent and the sales will only grow a mere 14 percent for the year.

It is predicted that more money will be sunk into advertising. The company will be hoping to add more subscribers after losing so many last year.

Most CEO’s do not own up to their mistakes. This is not the case with Reed Hastings who is the CEO of Netflix. Every mistake he made he owns up to it.

As the company makes the move into content time will tell if it will regain customers for the company. Since there are competitors all around the world it can be a challenge.

The company made a lot of U.S. customers last year. Even though the company is staying put and doing some different things it is uncertain if they can win back the customers that left and went somewhere else.

Netflix has a good share range still at $100. Do not expect this to come down anytime soon. In fact it might even do a little creeping up in the future. With earning projected for the future it makes it a little harder to say just how good the company is doing. It is had to predict what the future holds and what the customers will expect in the future.

True players love to play games that are a challenge. There is nothing better then getting lost in a game for hours on end in hopes of beating it. That is exactly what Xenoblade with the role playing was offering fans. The Japanese created the game so diehard gamers could be challenged. The downfall was the game was not coming to the U.S. to be played on the Wii. Gamers united and let their voices be heard and Nintendo listened. The game is here and can be purchased for the Wii console.

If you have enjoyed the Xeno series that was created by Tetsuya Takahashi then you will also enjoy playing Xenoblade. It is not a sequel to the original games but, there sure are a lot of connections thematically.

This action packed game starts out where the humanoids are under attack. Shulk has a friend named Fiora that gets killed and he is out for revenge. From this point you get to explore some beautiful scenes in the game that will leave you gasping at their beauty.

There also is plenty of fighting for you and your party to do along the way. You will start with fighting tiny insects and work your way up to robots that are towering over you. There is the option to peek at the enemy in order to make sure your party is ready to take them on.

For all the devoted Wii fans and role playing gamers this game will leave everyone excited about playing it. Wii could possibly get back on top by offering more role playing games as good as this one!
