Chicago is getting ready for all the world leaders who will be in town for the big NATO meeting that starts today — and for the busloads of people who will be coming into town to protest. What is a joint venture, and why is it worthwhile for companies? And Los Angeles sports fans — and the Staples Center — are flying high as three of the city’s pro teams are in the playoffs.

  • There are new concerns this morning of a banking crisis in Greece, after the country’s political parties failed to come together and form a coalition government. Vice President Biden will be in Youngstown, Ohio today touting the bailout of the auto industry —  which he and his ticket mate Obama are hoping will help in their re-election campaign. This week’s Facebook IPO could mean big things for the California state budget. And in Atlanta this morning, the world’s busiest airport welcomes its first passengers to a brand-new, $1.4 billion international terminal.

  • Chipotle Mexican Grill opens a new location every few days, and has seen several quarters of growth while other chains falter. We talk to Steve Ells, CEO, about his company’s recipe for success (hint: lots of guac). With shares of Facebook about to go on the market after months of anticipation, how much of a chance does the average shareholder even have of scooping some up? JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon will face shareholders at the bank’s annual meeting today in Tampa, and Europeans will face the possible shift away from austerity as Francois Hollande is sworn in as president.

  • Turmoil in Europe continues, as it begins to look more and more likely that Greece will soon exit the eurozone. Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson resigned over the weekend, bringing yet another leadership change to the embattled tech company. New York City launches a bikeshare program sponsored by Citibank, which could prove to be profitable for both the bank and the city. JPMorgan executives face shareholders tomorrow in its annual meeting, the week after its announcement of a $2 billion loss. And endangered California condors are presenting special concern for wind farms.

  • JPMorgan Chase has made a $2 billion blunder, its CEO Jamie Dimon announced. The loss involves bad bets apparently involving the bank selling insurance contracts against losses on corporate debt. A new study finds that millennials are less likely to be brand loyal. A group of climate activists, including a few teens, is suing the federal government over inaction on climate change. And we look at what it takes — and costs — to be a professional ballet dancer.

  • President Obama is counting on fundraising support from Hollywood tonight with Mitt Romney out-raising him on Wall Street. Obama made waves when he came out in support of gay marriage, but how do Americans feel about it? U.S. imports and exports have hit record levels. The construction of a new highway between Illinois and Indiana has some residents on edge. And following the crash of a new Russian aircraft in Indoensia, what’s the state of its airline industry?

  • Despite holding elections over the weekend, no new government has formed in Greece. That’s putting the future of its bailout in jeopardy. Here in the U.S., mortgage delinquencies are down. We look at how banks are faring adopting the mortgage settlement rules. The CEO of Charles Schwab discusses the mindset of today’s investors. And unlimited data plans, unlimited airline miles, lifetime subscriptions — is the all-you-can-eat model not a good one for companies?

  • The Senate is taking a look at a bill to keep student loan interest rates from doubling. But what would a hike in interest rates really cost students and their families? ABC and Univision are planning to launch an English-language channel. AMC Entertainment may be up for sale. We talk with world-renowned chef Charlie Trotter about why he’s closing his restaurant in Chicago this summer after 25 years of service. Lake Tahoe is looking at a bid for the 2022 Winter Olympics. Dunkin’ Donuts is launching in India, and Spain may bail out one of its biggest banks.

  • All eyes are on Europe this morning after voters in France’s presidential run-off election delivered a victory to Socialist candidate Francois Hollande over incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy. The win is the latest signal in Europe that voters are turning against harsh austerity measures aimed at curbing the European debt crisis, and the politicians who supported them. Also on the program, Hollywood might be coming to the aid of California’s State Parks Foundation to prevent up to a quarter of the state’s parks from closing – and cutting off access to filming. And a new budget battle commences in the U.S. Congress this week as law makers consider two bills that will make dramatic cuts in social safety net programs to prevent further cuts in defense spending
