More recently, Citi has expanded to include the Boston, Philadelphia, Houston, Dallas, and Washington D.C. metropolitan areas, albiet with a mixed record of success.

It was reported that Citigroup executives were pleased with the performance of the Boston branches, but were less impressed with the Philadelphia experiment, according to a person familiar with the situation.

As a result of the Global financial crisis of 2008–2009 and huge losses in the value of its subprime mortgage assets, Citibank was rescued by the U.S. government under plans agreed for Citigroup. On November 23, 2008, in addition to initial aid of $25 billion, a further $25 billion was invested in the corporation together with guarantees for risky assets amounting to $306 billion.

In the 1960s the bank entered into the credit card business. In 1965, First National City Bank bought Carte Blanche from Hilton Hotels. However after three years, the bank (under pressure from the U.S. government) was forced to sell this division. By 1968, the company created its own credit card.

The card, known as "The Everything Card," was promoted as a kind of East Coast version of the BankAmericard. By 1969, First National City Bank decided that the Everything Card was too costly to promote as an independent brand and joined Master Charge (now MasterCard). Citibank unsuccessfully tried again in 1977–1987 to create a separate credit card brand, the Choice Card.

Iran has no intention to build 10 new nuclear plants until it was severely reprimanded by the UN nuclear watchdog over its nuclear activities, a top official said Monday.

Vice President Ali Akbar Salehi, told state radio that Iran should give a strong response to the resolution of the International Atomic Energy Agency, on Friday demanded that Iran halt construction of its new uranium enrichment factory detect and stop all enrichment activities.

A cabinet meeting chaired by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Sunday approved plans to build 10 industrial-scale plant to enrich uranium, a 10-fold expansion of its nuclear program is likely to significantly increase tensions with theWest.

United States and its allies fear that the facilities to give Iran the capacity to produce weapons, nuclear material and has asked for an immediate halt uranium enrichment.

Iran has denied these allegations, saying its uranium enrichment facilities to produce fuel only for nuclear reactors to generate electricity.

Council of Ministers ordered the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran to start building new facilities in the five areas that have been examined and proposed five sites for future construction within two months.

The new sites are to be on the same scale as the only enrichment plant in Iran, other industries are currently in operation near the town of Natanz in central Iran."We have no plans to build many facilities in Natanz, but it seems that the West does not understand Iran's peaceful message," Salehi said.

"The case of the 5 +1 U.S., Britain, France, China, Russia and Germany in the IAEA led to the (Iranian) government approved a proposal to build 10 sites in Natanz," said.

Iran aims to produce 20,000 megawatts of electricity through nuclear power plants over the next 20 years. Iranian officials say the new enrichment necessary to produce enough fuel for future nuclear plants.

Ahmadinejad said the Cabinet that Iran would need to install centrifuges at 500,000 plants designed to produce between 250 and 300 tons of fuel a year."It takes more sites to produce nuclear fuel for us. We need at least ten new locations," Ahmadinejad said in remarks broadcast on state television Monday.

The International Atomic Energy Agency said this month that nearly 8,600 centrifuges at Natanz had been created, but only about 4,000 were enriching uranium. The plant is designed eventually house 54,000 centrifuges.

But the newly discovered site of Iran's enrichment, which left the last cycle of concern and criticism of Tehran's nuclear intentions is a small place near the holy city of Qom, which will house 3,000 centrifuges.

NASA tries again to launch the space shuttle Endeavor, Monday, despite a good chance of rain, threatening to delay the mission for the fifth time in power.

The rain is a particular danger to the plans out today because of an exposed propeller in the nose of the craft. The plastic usually propeller guards - one of 44 small rocket thrusters on the spacecraft used for minor changes course - came yesterday during the failed fourth launch Endeavor lose.

Although the case does not pose any risk to the launch yesterday (the label is designed to fail during startup anyway) if moisture into the booster, which can freeze in the ice and make the propeller useless.This means that if rain falls on the pillow, the agency probably will have to suspend today's launch is scheduled for 6:51 EDT (2251 GMT).

"The idea is that if it rains after starting with a risk of moisture in the fuel and you do not want to freeze," says NASA spokesman Allard Beutel. NASA would probably not start with a propeller with impaired mobility, but not essential for takeoff.

While Sunday's launch attempt was canceled because of thunderstorms near the launch pad and landing here at Kennedy Space Center, there really is no rain fell Endeavor Launch 39A.

"If we had rain on the platform would have found us with security," said Beutel of today's launch plans.The rain is a serious threat to attempt escape Endeavor today, with a 60 percent chance of thunderstorms forecast. Despite the gloomy forecast, NASA decided to start feeding the shuttle's massive external tank in preparation for the launch this morning, just in case the weather cooperates.

"They thought it was worth at least take the opportunity," said Beutel.If you cancel today's launch, NASA could try again tomorrow if the ground staff have enough time to move the engine cover. This procedure takes three to four hours, because the giant rotating service structure of scaffolding at the launch pad to be moved into place to provide access to computers on the nose of Endeavor.

If the process can be completed at the time, NASA may be able to push the launch window for a few days, but the shuttle is scheduled to retire in order to allow a ship to unmanned Russian cargo launcher space station later this month.

"We can talk with the Russians, and maybe we can get some extra time," said Beutel.Often delayed Endeavor's mission is to build up a visit to the ISS to install the supply of spare parts and a new research field that must be submitted by the Japanese Kibo laboratory.

A "significant amount" of water ice exist on the moon, the U.S. space agency said Friday it announced a leap forward in space exploration and raise hopes of a permanent lunar base.

Preliminary data from a probe of the moon shows the mission succeeded exposed water in a permanently shaded crater, "NASA said in a statement."This discovery opens a new chapter in our understanding of the moon," it added, as scientists celebrated the landmark discovery ecstasy.

The data was taken after NASA sent two spacecraft crashed into the lunar service last month in a dramatic experiment to investigate the nearest neighbor to the ground water.One rocket hit Cabeus crater near the lunar south pole, around 5600 miles (9,000 km) per hour.

The impact sent a huge cloud of billowing material from the crater, which has not seen the sun for billions of years.The rocket was followed four minutes later with a spacecraft equipped with cameras to record the impact.

"We're ecstatic," said Anthony Colaprete, the project scientist and principal investigator of $ 79 million LCROSS mission.

"Several lines of evidence indicate water was present in both high plume of steam and the angle of the ejecta curtain created by the impact of LCROSS Centaur.

"The concentration and distribution of water and other substances that require further analysis, but it is safe to say Cabeus the water," said Colaprete.

Researchers had previously theorized that with the exception of the possibility of ice on the bottom of craters, the moon was completely dry.Finding water in the Earth's natural satellite is a major advance in space exploration.

"We're unlocking the mysteries of our nearest neighbor, and by extension, the solar system," said Michael Wargo, chief scientist of the moon at NASA Headquarters in Washington.

"A thorough understanding of the LCROSS data may take some time. The rich data," said Colaprete.

"Along with water in Cabeus, there are exciting hints of other substances. Permanently shaded regions of the moon is really cold traps, collecting and preserving material billions of years."

Only 12 men, all Americans have always been on the moon, and the last to set foot there in 1972, at the end of the Apollo missions.But NASA's ambitious plans to put U.S. astronauts back to the moon in 2020 to establish manned lunar base for further exploration of Mars as part of the Constellation project is increasingly questioned.

NASA's budget is currently too small to pay for the Orion capsule, a more sophisticated and comprehensive overview of the Apollo lunar module and the Ares I and Ares V launch vehicles to bring the spacecraft into orbit.

A number of review panel appointed by President Barack Obama said that existing budgets are not large enough to finance a return mission in 2020.
