Participants in the National Security Forum:
We have several very interesting programs coming up this month and into April I wanted to let you know about, and I do hope you can join us. In addition, thanks to SNCAT Television (community access) and especially Shayne del Cohen, our session on “Obama’s First Year” is available online. SNCAT made a video from that meeting, and you can access it at: www.sncat.org/video.php?id=814 However, it is also on the home page, so just going to www.sncat.org and scrolling down the page will get one there. Click on the picture and voila, like a juke box, it will select the show, gear up and play. Thanks, Shayne! //////////// Our next program, after tomorrow’s session on “The Obama Administration’s Nuclear Posture” with Keith Hansen, will be one that we are doing in conjunction with the Northern Nevada International Center and the local World Affairs Council. Here is Carina Black’s invite to the NSF: Please join us for our March speaker, Dr. Richard Erb, next Wednesday, March 10, 2010 at 7pm at the Siena Ballroom (second floor). The main event is free and open to the public. If you would like to meet the speaker, please join us for a VIP reception from 6-7pm (same location). There is a $15.00 charge for the reception and there is no need to RSVP.
Dr. Erb will be speaking on “A Bankrupt World: The United States in a Volatile International Financial System”, at 7pm at the Siena. Please note the VIP reception ($15), and that no RSVP’s are needed. This sounds like a great discussion and chance to meet with Dr. Erb. “A Bankrupt World” flyer can be found here: NNIC Presents: A Bankrupt World

“ ”Iran-Israel: Rational Evolution or Massive Destabilization?”
That event will be Tuesday, March 31, at 9 am at the Siena Hotel. No need to RSVP at this time–just an advance notice.

In April we are planning on Larry Martines discussing the growing violence in Mexico around the drug cartels and the spread of their influence into the United States.
Lots of exciting programs! Hope you are enjoying your association with the NSF.
