When Barack Obama first moved into the White House seven years ago, he promised a new foreign policy that would restore the world's respect for thwe United States while making it possible for Americans to focus on nation-building at home. He began the process of extricating the United States from the region during his first term by ending wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that he inherited from his predecessor. Supporters hailed Obama's strategy, while others insisted that the vacuum would lead to regional chaos.
Today, three and a half years after his re-election, the 44th president of the United States took another major step toward shrinking America's regional footprint when the White House confirmed that the United States Fifth Fleet will leave Manama, Saudi Arabia, by the end of the year.
The move comes sooner than expected, in the midst of talks between American officials and their counterparts from the United Arab Emirates regarding the possibility of moving the American base to Dubai. However, late last week Gulf Cooperation Council members, led by Saudi Arabia, rejected the American proposals, including, say administration sources, the last-minute intercession of President Obama in a phone call with Saudi Interior Minister Mohamed Bin Nayef. Washington was left with no choice but to withdraw from the resource-rich Persian Gulf, a region that was often referred to as an American lake.
Secretary of State John Kerry made the rounds on the Sunday talk shows to explain the move. "President Obama has long vowed that America would move toward energy independence," Kerry said on This Week With Jake Tapper. "And the re-deployment of the Fifth Fleet is proof that he's made good on his promise. We value our long history with our partners in the Persian Gulf. But between Canada, Brazil, and our own reserves in North Dakota and elsewhere, we simply don't need to be committing resources and our military personnel halfway across the world to protect foreign oil. Our men and women in uniform are coming home."
The withdrawal was sharply criticized by top Republican lawmakers, including Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, one of the leading candidates for the 2016 nomination. "I applaud the White House's enthusiasm for energy independence. But the reality is that the United States depends on Persian Gulf oil for less than 20 percent of its energy needs," said Rubio. "We are in the Gulf to ensure the viability of American trade with partners like Europe, China, and India, who unlike us depend on the free flow of Gulf oil. With this move, the Democrats have shown once again that they are bad for American business and the economy."
"The administration is trying to put a good face on a disaster," said former CIA Director David Petraeus. "This was a decision made in Riyadh, not Washington. This White House long ago compromised its position in the region when it lost the confidence of the Saudis over its hapless Iran policy."
Petraeus has become an increasingly vocal critic of the Obama Administration since the June publication of his book The End of the American Moment in the Middle East, which details his commands in Iraq and Afghanistan and explains why he ultimately accepted responsibility for the Benghazi scandal that captured the headlines in the weeks before the 2012 election. The Sept.11, 2012, attack on the U.S. consulate that cost the lives of four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens, forced the resignations of U.N. ambassador Susan Rice, White House spokesman Jay Carney, and Petraeus.
In his book, Petraeus wrote that the Saudis, Jordan's former monarch King Abdullah II (now a senior fellow at the London-based think tank Chatham House), and former Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan (recently sentenced to a 10-year prison term by the same judiciary he previously used to attack his rivals) had all expected the White House to change course after the 2012 U.S. presidential elections by fully supporting the Sunni majority against Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. The idea, wrote Petraeus "was to set Iran's regional project back by bringing down their one Arab ally once and for all. Instead, the administration let the Syrian civil war linger even after the CIA had confirmed reports that Assad had turned chemical weapons against the rebels in Homs. Assad camped out on the Mediterranean coast in the historical Alawite heartland where, working with the Iranians and Russians, he continued to destabilize the region, including the tragic spillover of the Syrian war into Lebanon. When Iran tested a nuclear device in August 2014, the White House lost the Saudis once and for all."
Shortly after Obama's re-election in 2012, senior White House aide Valerie Jarrett conducted negotiations with representatives of Supreme Leader Ali Khameini, who rejected the Obama Administration's so-called grand bargain. The White House sought to convince then-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to give sanctions more time to work. But when outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton leaked to reporters that the White House was hoping for a Netanyahu defeat in that country's January 2013 election, top officials in Netanyahu's security Cabinet concluded Israel was on its own to deal with Iran.
The Israel Defense Forces' May 2013 raid on parts of the Iranian nuclear program, including uranium-enrichment facilities at Natanz, Qom, and Fordow, seemed to have proven successful. Some defense experts argued that it looked as though Israel set back the program by more than two years. Yet images alleged to have documented the devastation caused by the attacks turned world opinion against Israel. Both the United States and the European Union dropped sanctions against the Iranian regime, which allowed Tehran to rebuild its nuclear weapons program more quickly than had been expected. When Iran tested its nuclear device, the Saudis took matters into their own hands.
With the aged Saudi monarch King Adbullah incapacitated, Saudi Arabia's interior minister, the relatively youthful 53-year-old Mohamed bin Nayef, jumped over a generation of potential rivals to become the de facto ruler in Riyadh. He pushed for a more energetic regional policy that would operate without American assistance and sometimes actively exclude it. Washington offered only mild protests when Saudi Arabia annexed Bahrain after Shia militants, believed to have been backed by Iran, killed an American naval officer in a Manama bar.
Nayef's diplomatic outreach extended to some unlikely figures, including Israeli Prime Minister Avigdor Lieberman, said to be one of his closest confidantes among world leaders. Their relationship, Arab and Israeli sources say, is premised not only on their mutual fear of Iran, but also the Muslim Brotherhood, which governs the Islamic emirates of Jordan and Syria, and governed Egypt before the military coup that deposed President Mohamed Morsi. Nayef also reached out to Saudi's erstwhile Sunni rivals in Qatar to cement a strategic relationship between the two Gulf powers. Their bilateral accord was perhaps facilitated by the massacre in Brussels of an official Qatari delegation, a terrorist attack that is believed to have been the work of a Hezbollah assassination team. The Riyadh-Doha agreement would come to include the formation of a multinational Middle East task force, the so-called Sunni Consortium, with the largest contribution of forces coming from Pakistan, Turkey, and Egypt.
European Union officials as well as American defense experts have expressed reservations about whether the Doha-based Consortium fleet, comprising the Turkish and Egyptian navies, is capable of providing the same level of security that the Americans had ensured for nearly half a century. "We'll miss the Americans," said one senior Arab official in Riyadh. "But when we needed them most, there was just no one to answer the phone at 3 a.m."

The leader of the hacking group LulzSec has been charged in connection with an attack on a government website in early April, Australian police officials said Wednesday.
In a news release posted on their website, the Australian Federal Police said the man was a 24-year-old Internet technology professional from Point Clare, a suburb on the New South Wales coast, about 75 kilometers (46 miles) north of Sydney.
He is charged with two counts of unauthorized modification of data and one count of unauthorized access to (or modification of) restricted data.
The man faces up to 10 years for the first two charges and up to two years on the third charge.
Police didn't release the man's name, but said he worked for a company that did work for government agencies. The release called him the "self-proclaimed leader" of the hacking group.
"The AFP believes the man's knowledge and skills presented a significant risk to the clients of the company for which he was employed had he continued his illegal online activities," the release stated.
On June 2, 2011, LulzSec burst onto the cybersecurity scene with a splashy exploit: It published a trove of data stolen from 1 million user accounts on Sony's website. It followed the Sony hack with a string of high-profile feats, including crashing the CIA's website.
The man posted bail and is next due in court May 15.

By Venita Jenkins Staff writer
Cumberland County schools will no longer receive low-wealth funding from the state, school officials learned Tuesday.
The revenue loss will affect the 2013-14 school budget. The system will have to look to other sources to cover the $1.8 million in low-wealth money it received this year and used to pay for 36 guidance counselor positions.
School officials say there are no plans to cut those jobs.
"We've got to find another way to pay for these positions," said Rick Lopes, associate superintendent of business operations.
The school system has seen a steady decline in low-wealth funding over the years. It received $7.8 million two years ago. In 2011, the money was cut to $4 million.
Low-wealth funding from the state is based in large part on per-capita income, which has increased in Cumberland County partly because soldiers at Fort Bragg have earned extra combat pay in recent years, Lopes said.
The funding formula was weighted toward property tax values when it started in the early 1990s. The General Assembly changed the formula a few years later to rely more on per-capita income.
Low-wealth funding provides supplemental money in counties that do not have the ability to generate local revenue to support public schools.
"By changing the formula, the low-wealth fund did not do what it was intended," Lopes said. "The gap has gotten wider between the poor school systems and rich school systems."
Lopes said he does not think legislators understand the effect the formula change will have on military communities. Onslow County, the home of Camp Lejeune Marine Corps base, also has seen cuts in low-wealth funding, he said.
Several board members expressed their frustration about the loss of the funds.
Board member Carrie Sutton said the cut undermines the hard work the school system has done.
"Here we are doing great things with less, and now this," she said.
Board member Susan Williams asked the administration to identify individuals in the state legislature to contact about low-wealth funding.
Several board members plan to travel to Raleigh to meet with legislators about the issue.
Superintendent Frank Till Jr. said he and his staff would compile a list of contacts.
The reduction in low-wealth funding will have an ongoing effect on the schools' budget, he said.
"We will have an equivalent of an $8 million cut going forward," Till said.

Bold and Beautiful Recaps
B&B Week of October 20, 2008
Fearing Pam will harm Eric, a terrified Donna ordered Stephanie to leave. Steph offered to help but Donna got even more scared and urged her rival to just stay out of it. After Stephanie left, Pam called Donna and warned her not to go anywhere near Eric. Donna shared that she had to at least go to his office to sign their divorce papers and Pam growled this will be the last time the Hot Tamale will see her Honey Bear.
Taylor kissed Ridge, who was stunned by the smooch. "What are you doing, Doc?" he asked. She explained it was something she wanted to do for a long time. When Ridge pointed out that they were marrying different people, Taylor got embarrassed and told him to forget the kiss. He admitted he couldn't and she realized that he felt something too. Ridge emphasized that he is marrying Brooke but she reminded him that he will also be sharing a life with Jack and Nick. "I love you and I'm not apologizing for that," Taylor admitted. Ridge asked what she planned to do about Rick and she said that she won't be able to marry him because she wants to be with Ridge. He confessed that he was feeling all warm and fuzzy about Taylor but insisted his future is with Brooke. Taylor said she will be waiting for him when everything with Brooke falls apart. She kissed Ridge again and slinked out. Taylor returned home and Rick could immediately tell something was wrong. "I can't marry you," she sobbed.
Eric was staring forlornly at his divorce papers when Stephanie arrived. He was peeved when Donna showed up with Owen, who explained that, as a paralegal, he was representing her interests. Donna was presented with the divorce papers and Eric declared he is keeping the house. When Donna was reluctant to sign, Eric grabbed the pen, added his John Hancock and ordered her to follow suit. She finally complied and Eric stormed out of the room.
Donna tearfully asked if Stephanie enjoyed that scene but she said she didn't want to win Eric this way. Stephanie then explained that she wanted to find Pam but needed Donna's help. Donna asked why she should trust Stephanie who countered that Donna just may get Eric back after all. "So I suggest you help me," Steph advised.
Ridge came home to Brooke and relayed how Taylor didn't have faith that he and Brooke would tie the knot. Brooke was peeved by the interference. "You are the love of my love," Ridge proclaimed but admitted that something always seems to be getting in their way. Brooke reaffirmed her love and Ridge seemed appeased. They sealed their commitment with a passionate kiss, which led to a slo-mo lovemaking. After, Brooke worried about Rick.
"Why would you back out of our wedding?" a stunned Rick asked Taylor. She admitted, "I'm still in love with Ridge." She then copped to kissing him and Rick became enraged. He pointed out that his mother has a "vice grip" on Ridge and that Taylor will be left all alone. She said she was willing to wait for Ridge after his relationship with Brooke falls apart. "We could Have had a wonderful life together if it wasn't for Ridge," Rick sneered. He then called Ridge and told him to meet him at Forrester Creations.
Donna fretted to Owen that involving Stephanie could make Pam even more Dangerous, but he insisted Step was their last hope. Owen told a tearful Donna that he will always be there for her. Pamela watched from afar and surmised that Donna was upset because she officially ended her marriage. Pam was then hit with a painful headache and gobbled down some pills.
Stephanie was surprised to come home and find a romantic table setting waiting for her courtesy of Eric. He apologized for everything he has put her through and said this was a new beginning for them and their family. Steph then explained that Donna only wanted the divorce to protect him. Eric was shocked to learn that Donna left him because Pam forced her to. Stephanie said she wants to get Pam to a hospital without involving the police and asked for Eric's help.
Ridge and Rick met at the Sky Lounge where Rick blasted Ridge's reckless behavior through the years. "I'm done with this," Rick announced.
Stephanie insisted to Eric that they find a disturbed Pam before her sister did any more damage. Steph then called Donna and noted that Pam needed her help and asked to help her lure Pam over. Owen was hopeful that it would get Pam out of Donna's life. Donna called Pam. Pam watched Donna from her window
and laughed about Donna being sad over her breakup with Eric. She called Donna a bunch of names, including that of a popular storybook character. Donna informed her that Pam's mother, Ann, was ill. She didn't seem to believe Donna's story about Ann. Owen was still confident that Pam would take the bait and call Stephanie. Sure enough, Pam called her sister. Stephanie reminded her how much she loves her and confirmed Donna's story about Ann being ill. Pam became upset, especially when she saw an ambulance
at the Forrester home. Owen spied Pam leave the vacant house next door and realized that that was how Pam had been watching them.... Steph felt guilty about lying to Pam, but Eric assured her that she was doing the right thing. The sisters embraced as they shared a reunion. Stephanie confessed that she'd lied about Ann being sick because she knew Pam needed the help.
Taylor paid Brooke a visit and informed Brooke that she and Rick split. Brooke was angry with Taylor for breaking her son's heart, but Taylor insisted that she hadn't wanted to hurt Rick. Brooke was shocked when Taylor revealed that she and Ridge kissed, but didn't think that Taylor and Ridge had a chance. Taylor noted that Brooke never respected her marriage to Ridge when they were together. Brooke was confident that nothing would come between her and Ridge.
Outside on the Sky Lounge balcony, Ridge and Rick fought over Taylor admitting that she still had feelings for Ridge. Rick blamed Ridge for ruining his life. "How do you live with yourself?" Rick angrily asked. Ridge insisted that he didn't lead Taylor on, but they shared kids and a history. Rick wouldn't hear it and continued to rant and rave against Ridge. "I have really big issues and we're gonna put an end to those issues. Here and now," Rick stated. Ridge fired back that Rick and Taylor's problems weren't his
fault. A riled-up Rick punched Ridge twice, then got Ridge into a headlock, with Ridge grunting and sweating and gritting his teeth the whole time. The men "danced" around a bit as Ridge struggled to get free. Ridge finally shoved Rick off of him — which sent Rick flying (and somersaulting) right over the ledge. "RIIIIICK!" cried Ridge.
Ridge ordered someone to call 911 and rushed down to a fallen Rick's side.
"Hang in there," Ridge begged. The paramedics arrived and Rick was still
unconscious. As he was loaded into the ambulance, Ridge frantically called
Brooke with the news that there was an accident with Rick but didn't
Donna nervously paced the room, wondering what was going on with
Pam and Stephanie. She wanted to go check things out but Owen urged her to
stay put and let Stephanie handle the situation. Donna opined that Pam is in
love with Eric and went back to her pacing.
Pam freaked when she realized that Stephanie tricked her into coming to the
house. An unraveled Pam started to blame herself for not protecting her
sister from their father's abuse, but Stephanie insisted that Pam was just a
little girl then and wasn't responsible. Steph reminded that Pam almost
killed Eric and Pam claimed she only meant to scare him. Eric entered the
room and asked his former sister-in-law if he was ever cruel to her. "I
didn't used to be like this," Pam wailed and Stephanie agreed that this
latest condition appeared to be something new and different. Pam then spun
out of control and raged at Eric for leaving Stephanie. "How could you walk
out on her?" she blasted. Stephanie explained that Eric is in love with
Donna then coaxed Pam into admitting that she sent the snake that bit Marcus
and also tried to run down Beth. "I need you to be my little sister again,"
Stephanie tenderly said. Pam suddenly screamed out in pain and fell
unconscious in Steph's arms.
Rick was rushed into the hospital where Bridget was shocked to see her
injured brother. A distressed Brooke arrived and asked Ridge, "Please tell
me you didn't have anything to do with this?" Ridge tried to explain his
violent encounter with Rick, but Bridget interrupted with news that Rick was
still unconscious and his spine was being examined. Bridget was encouraged
that Rick didn't need surgery, however Brooke asked why he doesn't wake up.
Bridge didn't have an answer and Brooke sat at her son's bedside. "I can't
lose a child," she sobbed, then begged Rick to wake up. His eyes slowly
flickered open. "What happened?" he whispered. Brooke urged him to get
Brooke, Ridge and Bridget visited an awake Rick in his hospital room. "What the hell are you doing here?" Rick growled at Ridge. Ridge insisted that he accidentally pushed Rick over the ledge, but Rick wouldn't hear it. Ridge left. After, Bridget urged her brother to relax. Meanwhile, Brooke followed Ridge into another hospital room and questioned him about Rick's fall. Ridge explained that Rick attacked him and he shoved Rick off when he started strangling him — which resulted in Rick falling over the side. Ridge apologized, but stated that it wasn't his fault. Brooke embraced him and cried.
Donna feared that Pam would hurt Stephanie and Eric, but Owen had more faith in Stephanie's plan. Owen assured Donna that she'd soon be reunited with Eric. Donna told Owen that if it hadn't been Eric, it would've been him. Owen joked about winning the silver medal. They then got word about Pam collapsing.
At the hospital, the doctor questioned Stephanie about Pam's condition. The doctor noted that they needed to call the police since Pam was a fugitive. Steph begged her to tend to her sister's health first. The doctor revealed that Pam had a mass in her head that was putting pressure on her brain — and that that could be contributing to Pam's behavior. Seph recalled an incident in Pam's childhood where she'd hit her head. Later, Donna paid Eric a visit and he filled her in on Pam. He admitted that he felt sorry for Pam, but Donna couldn't muster the sympathy. Eric thanked Donna for saving his life.
Brooke and Bridget gathered around Rick's bed as the doctor prepared to perform a test to check Rick's legs. As the doctor began testing, Rick didn't feel anything and urged the doctor to start the test. When Bridget gulped and a teary Brooke clapped a hand to her mouth, Rick realized what was going on. "I'm paralyzed?" he asked, before crying, "Oh, my God!" A nearby Ridge looked really sheepish.

Please check carefully if your order to unlock Motorola handset fulfills the following:
1. Be sure that your phone is SIM locked. Insert another network SIM and wait for the unlocking message to be displayed. If your phone doesn't show any unlocking message and if it works with another network SIM, then your handset is NOT Sim locked.
2. Be sure that you send us the correct IMEI. There are 2 ways you can get the IMEI of your phone. The first one is by dialing *#06# on your phone. The second one is to check the sticker underneath the battery of your handset. The IMEI is a 15 digit number that is unique for each handset.
3. Be sure to choose the original country and operator – NOT the one you wish to use it on! There are certain operators in certain countries that sell phones we can NOT unlock.
If you place a wrong order by not fulfilling the requirements above, you will NOT be eligible for a refund. We support the cost for each IMEI we try to unlock, that's why if we generate a code for a wrong IMEI or a wrong network, we are not able to send your money back.
Here is the step-by-step process you need to follow in order to unlock Motorola handset. It's a simple process that doesn't involve any technical skills, so you don't have to worry at all!
The process flow is like this:
1. You send us a few information about your phone. The details we need are:
- The IMEI of your phone.
- The country and network your phone is locked to. This is the country and network you originally bought your phone from.
- Your email address. We need you to enter the correct email address because this is where you will receive the unlock code for your phone.
2. Check price and availability and proceed to payment. A confirmation email will be dispatched on your email address after we receive your payment.
3. After a while you will receive on your email the code. It's either an 8 digit code or a 16 digit code; it depends from a phone model to another.
Here is a video tutorial about how to use UnlockUnit.com
Instructions on how to use the code and how to unlock
Now that you have the unlock code, all you have to do is to insert another carrier SIM into your phone and wait for your phone to read "Enter unlock code" or "Pin Network Unlock Code". Then insert the code and your phone will be unlocked.
If your phone does not ask for the code and there is no designated field to enter the unlock code, then you have to contact us for further instructions.
The benefits of a Motorola handset unlock are many! You will be free to use your phone with any network provider in any country around the world, as long as it's a GSM network, that's the most important benefit you'll get, letting alone the fact that you will avoid expensive roaming fees when travelling abroad and you will greatly increase the value of your phone.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Rick Hendrick remembers the stress-filled days in 2001 when he was trying to launch a new team with an unproven driver.
He had an interested sponsor in Lowe's, but wasn't sure he could sell the company built around a 25-year-old nobody who had four top-five finishes in an underwhelming Nationwide Series career.
So Hendrick called in Jeff Gordon for help in sealing the deal on Jimmie Johnson, the driver Gordon had noticed on the track and brought to the team owner's attention.
"I was scared to death when I went to talk to Lowe's the first time about Jimmie — could he win?" Hendrick recalled. "We had to get Jeff to go make appearances for Lowe's in the beginning. We were doing everything we had to do in the beginning to make that deal work."
