Taking a cue from Amazon.com, Sun Microsystems - according to an Associated Press report - plans to launch its own "public cloud" service, which will let everyone from big-time corporations to dorm-room entrepreneurs run their businesses on Sun's computers without buying hardware of their own.
According to the AP's Jordan Robertson, Sun plans to announce the offering today, in a move that reflects the growing interest cloud computing.
Robertson notes:
"Traditional data centers hog energy, and stocking them with cutting-edge servers and storage machines is expensive, which explains the appeal of cloud-based services. Some examples range from Web-based e-mail to customer-management programs from Salesforce.com Inc.
Amazon says more than 490,000 people and corporations have signed up for its cloud computing service since it launched in 2006, but some analysts have criticized it as a financial dud. Amazon doesn't break the division's financials, and won't say whether it is profitable.
Sun says its public cloud is just one element of its strategy."
The AP report also records the belief of Lew Tucker, CTO for Sun's cloud computing group, that there are bigger profits in selling the technology to companies that want to provide cloud services themselves, or to large corporations that want cloud services for its employees but refuse to surrender their most sensitive, proprietary data.
In Robertson's view, Sun "needs a new revenue channel, having seen it become harder and harder to sell new server hardware to corporate customers."
He notes that sales in Sun's server division dropped $191M last year to $6.26BN.
Sun is joining Amazon and IBM in the top industry keynote lineup for SYS-CON's 2nd International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo in New York, March 30-April 1, co-located with the 5th International Virtualization Conference & Expo. Sun's Sr. VP of Cloud Computing, David Douglas, will be joining Amazon's CTO Dr Werner Vogels and IBM's Cloud Computing CTO Kristof Kloeckner. Between them these three industry thought leaders represent extremely well the steadily growing importance of Cloud Computing in the world of Enterprise IT.
Douglas's keynote will be entitled "A World of Many Clouds."
Sun is committed to making cloud computing a pervasive reality. Sun's open source philosophy and Java principles form the core of a strategy to provide interoperability for large-scale computing resources through open and transparent cloud platforms that minimize lock-in.
Sun envisions a world of many clouds, delivered by different service providers, to meet a variety of business needs:
- Public: A scalable, multi-tenant environment you can leverage with minimal upfront resources to deploy applications quickly
- Private: A data center you that you own/operate, built to cloud standards, to service both internal and external customers, control costs, and smooth demand
- Hybrid: You own some, retaining control over key parts of your infrastructure. And you use some, leveraging public resources to test applications, add additional capacity when needed, and offload non-critical resources.
In his keynote session, Douglas will investigate how enterprise IT operations can take advantage of this emerging world of many clouds to achieve the cost and flexibility advantages that cloud computing allows while maintaining control of their IT infrastructure.
Cloud computing, Sun reminds the industry on its corporate web site devoted to the subject, "is about managing petascale data" - and its server and storage systems are all designed "to radically improve the data-intensive computing emerging in the cloud." All without having to invest in new infrastructure, train new personnel, or license new software.
Douglas, who also serves as Sun's Chief Sustainability Officer, will be speaking on April 1, 2009 at 8:30AM. Cloud Computing Conference & Expo 2009 East is a three-day event, and is being held at The Roosevelt Hotel in New York City.
Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz recently expressed his vision for Java and stressed the new role that Cloud Computing is beginning to play in the company's technology roadmap. "At Sun, we're planning on maintaining Java's ubiquity as the number one runtime environment, backed by the world's most price performant datacenter infrastructure, all powered by Sun's cloud," he wrote.
SYS-CON's 1st International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo took place last November in San Jose, CA, with more than 1,200 delegates. See conference photo album here.
Connected devices and the Internet of Things are getting significant momentum in 2014. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Hunter, Chief Scientist & Technology Evangelist at Greenwave Systems, examined three key elements that together will drive mass adoption of the IoT before the end of 2015. The first element is the recent advent of robust open source protocols (like AllJoyn and WebRTC) that facilitate M2M communication. The second is broad availability of flexible, cost-effective storage designed to handle the massive surge in back-end data in a world where timely analytics is e...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, discussed single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data. By focusing on enterprise applications and the data center, he will use OpenTSDB as an example t...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...

The major cloud platforms defy a simple, side-by-side analysis. Each of the major IaaS public-cloud platforms offers their own unique strengths and functionality. Options for on-site private cloud are diverse as well, and must be designed and deployed while taking existing legacy architecture and infrastructure into account. Then the reality is that most enterprises are embarking on a hybrid cloud strategy and programs. In this Power Panel at 15th Cloud Expo (http://www.CloudComputingExpo.com), moderated by Ashar Baig, Research Director, Cloud, at Gigaom Research, Nate Gordon, Director of T...

3D Realms closes down
Major news reaches us this morning as we learn that Duke Nukem Forever creators 3D Realms have now closed down, owing to a lack of funding. A statement from publisher Take-Two informs us that they will retain the rights to the unreleased Duke Nukem Forever.
"It's not a marketing thing," assured webmaster Joe Siegler. "It's true. I have nothing further to say at this time."
No one senior at 3D Realms has yet to comment on this, but it seems the firm simply ran out of funding, little surprise given Duke Nukem Forever's protracted development period.
"We can confirm that our relationship with 3D Realms for Duke Nukem Forever was a publishing arrangement, which did not include ongoing funds for development of the title," says Take-Two exec Alan Lewis.
"In addition, Take-Two continues to retain the publishing rights to Duke Nukem Forever."
Looks like Duke Nukem Forever is no more... meanwhile, Deep Silver assure that Duke Nukem Trilogy will be released as planned on handhelds.

Police: Zapped driver sheds stun gun barbs, flees
An unruly driver zapped with a stun gun during a traffic stop yanked out the barbs, assaulted the officer and fled early Saturday, prompting a two-state pursuit that also led him to steal a police cruiser and threaten to shoot officers, authorities said.
An unruly driver zapped with a stun gun during a traffic stop yanked out the barbs, assaulted the officer and fled early Saturday, prompting a two-state pursuit that also led him to steal a police cruiser and threaten to shoot officers, authorities said.
The fracas began shortly after midnight in Salem, in southern New Hampshire, when Officer Adam Pearson pulled over 52-year-old Robert Zygarowski, of Ellwood City, Pennsylvania, for a traffic stop. Police say Zygarowski was uncooperative so Pearson shocked him with the stun gun.
Police gave this account of what happened next:
Zygarowski pulled out the barbs, assaulted Pearson, then jumped in his car and sped away, beginning a chase that ended when his tire blew in Lawrence, Massachusetts. When Pearson ordered Zygarowski and two others out of the car, Zygarowski charged at the officer and fled in the marked cruiser.
Pearson detained the other two until officers from surrounding police departments arrived to give chase. They found the abandoned cruiser a short distance away with no damage and all of its contents still inside.
A short time later, a man matching Zygarowski's description walked into a gas station in Methuen, Massachusetts, said he had guns and was going to shoot officers, prompting the clerk to call police, authorities said. As police using dogs converged on the area, Zygarowski was spotted walking into and through the kitchen of an IHOP restaurant.
Police surrounded the area and found Zygarowski walking on a nearby trail, where another brief scuffled ensued.
Zygarowski was finally arrested and charged with assault, resisting arrest and other offenses. The other two people in the car were questioned and released without charges. One told police he repeatedly asked to be let out of the car Zygarowski was driving, authorities said.
Zygarowski refused the services of a bail commissioner and was taken to a county jail to await a Monday arraignment. He couldn't be reached for comment, and it wasn't immediately clear whether he had a lawyer.
Pearson had minor injuries. He was treated at a hospital and released.

BARBADOS IS sitting on a cultural gold mine, says Minister of Culture Stephen Lashley. Stating that cultural practitioners should be able to make a living year-round, the Minister said he was focused on ensuring that the cultural sector generated the kind of business activity that would add diversity to the economy. "I'm trying to create within Crop Over a much more user-friendly environment for those looking to do business in Crop Over, and one of the things I'm going to pursue is sunset legislation to govern this very important period where we can do things a bit more differently and have more facilitatory engagement. "The way forward for tourism has really got to be event-based, where persons who come to Barbados in their droves, their spend is increased. You will see that within the context of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), for example, one of the things I would have asked the CPL to consider is embracing entertainment within the context of cricket, and I'm happy that they have done that where they have very nicely interwoven entertainment within the CPL experience, and it's a big hit." Lashley stressed that with the right mix of cultural products and events, artists and promoters "can actually make a sustainable living throughout the whole year", which would result in major benefits for the country. "We are sitting literally on a gold mine in terms of the cultural industries. We've also done the fine-tuning to the Cultural Industries Bill and that will create the incentive base to really grow the sector," he added. Noting that the last study done in 2007 showed Crop Over generated about $80 million in economic activity annually, Lashley said his ministry was looking at another study "because I'm convinced it is much more than that".

I'm over weight. I lost 25 lbs since October but I still want to loose 75-90 lbs. I don't drink soda. I try to walk every where. I have no access to a gym where I live. I don't want extra skin you know. Is there any tips? Anyone been down this road or currently on it?
wanting to loose a good amount of weight. need advise

Basically you need to eat a healthy diet, exercise and drink water. If you want a treat - go for it but remember, moderation is key!
I've gotten a little off track with the holidays BUT this is what I do: I eat around 1500-1600 per day, drink about 100 oz of water and exercise about an hour a day (if not more). I do cardio and strength training in the form of using the elliptical for 30-45 min and ChaLEAN Extreme for 30-45 min (this uses weights and I love it!)...I burn 700+ calories a day.

Hellfire by Jean Johnson (Book Review)
The third novel in Jean Johnson's Theirs Not To Reason Why series of military space opera was published last year in the summer and it proved to be almost as good as the two novels before it, which is saying something since both A Soldier's Duty and An Officer's Duty stand as some of the best MSF books I've read to date. The fact that the protagonist Ia is also an uber badass is just icing on the cake and should there be a day when a movie series on these books is released, I'll be the first to line-up in the theaters to watch it. The series has that kind of potential in it. Hellfire also made it to my "Best of 2013 Part 2" list last year as one of the best novels I read last year.
This review is a repost of the original review on The Founding Fields, which can be found here.
An Officer's Duty by Jean Johnson (Book Review)
Jean Johnson's A Soldier's Duty got me heavily invested in the SFvision she had created and when I came back for the sequel, I was astounded by the consistency of pretty much everything, whether character or plot, pacing or action, or what have you. Being how good it is, An Officer's Duty made it to my "Best of 2013 Part 1" list last year as one of the best novels I read last year. Together, these two novels offer something very different to the norm, and I do recommend them most highly.
This review is a repost of the original review on The Founding Fields, which can be found here.
A Soldier's Duty by Jean Johnson (Book Review)
Jean Johnson is a writer who wears many different hats, and writes in different genres, one of them being military space opera. Her series Theirs Not To Reason Why is, for me, one of the best such series out there, with a protagonist that I absolutely love and a setting that I absolutely enjoy, no matter what I read of any of it. For me, A Soldier's Duty was one of the best novels I read last year and it would have made it to be "best of the year" lists if I hadn't read the sequel soon after. All the same, I highly recommend this novel (and indeed the series).
This review is a repost of the original review on The Founding Fields, which can be found here.
Predator: Fire and Stone #2 (Comics Review)
Last month Dark Horse kicked off yet another Fire and Stone crossover book wih Joshua Williamson and Christian Mooneyham's Predator, that is the tail-end of the stories being told in this crossover. With Galgo sacrificing his crew yet again to get out of a tight scrap, it was a very fun issue that also showcased the utter deadliness of the Predator and it seems that both the writer and the artist have the monster alien hunter down pat, since they imbue him with all the hallmarks of that which made the original films so good all those years ago.
This week's Predator: Fire and Stone #2 continues Galgo's story as he tries to fight against the Predator who took over the Perses in the last issue. Well, more like ineffectual resistance since the Predator pretty much caught by the end of the issue and now Galgo is basically Ahab the Predator's servant. Of sorts. It is pretty awesome. Joshua really ups the stakes with this issue, giving us some background on the Predator early on, and then launches off on a really fun story. And the art? It is pretty damn perfect too!
Trinity of Sin #2 (Comics Review)
Last month DC launched Trinity of Sin, a title that brought together three of the biggest ancient mystics in the DC-verse, a union not seen since The Phantom Stranger #0, when Phantom Stranger, Pandora and Question were brought before the Council of Eternity to face judgement for their sins, the greatest in all of history. The first issue was a pretty good one and it set the stage for a really epic story that drew on some of the most weird supernatural elements of the DC-verse.
Trinity of Sin #2 picks up from where the first issue left off, and it continues the story of Nimraa and his three special servants as he seeks to bring back the great days of his race, of which he is the sole survivor following some dark calamity. As with the first issue, this one too has some really great moments and the action scenes are really good as well, drawing on the powers of all the different characters. The art has some missteps though, which felt really weird, since there are clear precedents and the changes just don't make sense, but still it is pretty damn good
Spider-Woman #1 (Comics Review)
Jessica Drew aka Spider-Woman has faced quite an uphill battle in recent years. There was the whole "boob-window" controversy last year during the Infinity event, when her space-suit had a boob window for some inexplicable reason. And then there was the utterly horrible Milo Manara variant cover a few weeks back for her debut issue, released this week. Despite being an Avengers stalwart for a number of years, she has had a tougher time in recent years with her own books than many other characters, though she has still come out on top with others like Black Widow and Ms. Marvel and others in getting a brand-new series this year.
Spider-Woman I had quite high expectations for, I'll admit. I love Jess as a character, thanks largely to some of Brian Michael Bendis' work with her and what Ales Kot has been doing this year in Secret Avengers. Despite the controversy, I was really looking forward to this book, but unfortunately, things just don't work out at all. Writer Dennis Hopeless dumps you straight into the middle of Spider-Verse without any kind of context at all and it is more an ensemble title rather than a Spider-Woman title. Most disappointing.
Arrow Season 3 Ep 7 (TV Show Review)
Last week we got to see something spectacular in Arrow. Ted Grant embraced his history as a vigilante, known as the Wildcat, and we learned that he was taking care of the Glades before Oliver Queen ever came back and started taking on the villains of Starling City. It was a pretty emotionally-charged episode with lots of action as well that also segued into the growing relationship between Ollie and Roy as mentor and apprentice, mirroring that of other character pairs on the shows such as Ted-Laurel and Malcolm-Thea. It was a great episode, and it only left me wanting more.
In the new episode, "Draw Back Your Bow", we see the debut of Cupid, a woman super-obsessed with the Arrow who wants to become his lover, someone who can take care of him since he takes care of all of Starling. She made her debut by killing of Isaac Stanzler, who used to be the Arsenal to Ted Grant's Wildcat a few years ago and who was the villain last week. As is usual on the show, we got to see some real-time commentary on how things are with Team Arrow, and we also see that Ray Palmer has some really big designs for what he is going to do with Queen Consolidated and its tech resources. Not a mind-blowing episode per se, but this one can easily fly under the radar, and I'd caution you against dismissing this one off-hand.
Comics Picks For 12.11.2014
Getting on a roll again, this week I managed to repeat the "Magic 40″ with 2 graphic novels and 38 singles, with many of the latter being absolutely new series, so that was a lot of fun for the most part.
My top picks for the surprise hits of the week would be Archer & Armstrong: One Percent #1 from Valiant Comics, Deep State #1 from Boom Studios, Django/Zorro #1 from Dynamite Entertainment and Vertigo Comics, and The Kitchen #1 from Vertigo Comics also. The most disappointing comics of this week were Captain America and the Mighty Avengers #1 and Death of Wolverine: Logan Legacy #4 both from Marvel Comics, New 52 – Batman #36 from DC Comics and Grimm Fairy Tales: Cfinderella #1 from Zenescope Entertainment. Other than that, the regularly great titles like Hexed, Fables, New Suicide Squad, Red Sonja and Unity all proved to be immensely fun.
The graphic novels for this week were King Conan: The Hour of The Dragon by Timothy Truman, Tomás Giorello and Jose Villarrubia, and Fables Volume 5 by Bill Willingham, Tony Akins, Jimmy Palmiotti, Daniel Vozzo, Todd Klein, James Jean, Mark Buckingham, Steve Leialoha.
Anyway, here's another edition of "Comics Picks For…". Full reading list, as always, is available here and all my comics reviews are available here.
The Flash Season 1 Ep 6 (TV Show Review)
On CW's The Flash last week, we got to see how things could have been for some of the metahumans that Barry has gone after in his debut season when Bette Sans Souci aka Plastique made her own live-action debut. Things didn't end so well for her, regrettably so, but we got to see some great things happen nonetheless. For one, Barry learned a couple of new tricks that he can do with his super-speed, and we also got to see yet another sneak-peek at the future supervillain Gorilla Grodd in a flashback to five years before the current time, when Harrison Wells was in league with General Eiling. Great stuff. Damn.
In this week's episode, the sixth of the debut season, we see how the legend of The Flash is finally born. Till now, he has been known only as The Streak, much like Clark Kent was known as The Blur on Smallville in the later seasons, and how Oliver Queen was once known as The Vigilante and is now known as The Arrow. Going up against a new meta-human, Barry is forced to confront some truths and with writers Jaime Paglia and Chris Rafferty, we also get to see the show address two of its biggest elephants in the room: time travel and Reverse-Flash. This was way too awesome for words, even for a show like The Flash.
Agents of SHIELD Season 2 Ep 8 (TV Show Review)
In last week's "The Writing on the Wall" we got to see something rather incredible. Phil Coulson finally managed to solve the mystery of the alien writing that he had been doodling of late, and which had driven John Garrett madder than the hatter last season. And it was pretty incredible, setting the scene for what I think is going to be a fantastic addition to Marvel's line-up of upcoming movies. You can read my review of the episode to see all the spoilers and speculation since I don't want to mention any of that here.
In the latest episode, "The Things We Bury", we see the antagonism between Grant Ward and his brother, Senator Christian Ward finally come out in the open as far as the characters are concerned, and as far as the readers are concerned as well. The web of lies and half-truths that the two of them have been weaving around each other all their lives is exposed and it is a pretty powerful moment. The episode brings back Milan Cheylov, who directed the debut season's third episode last year, one of the best of the entire season, and it is a pretty good foot forward by the show that has gotten only better in the second round.
Fast-Shot Comics Reviews 12.11.2014
Given how many comics I usually get to in any given week, anywhere from about 25 or so and all the way up to 40 even, it is not possible for me to review everything. Especially when I watch a lot of television in the week as well, and review as much of that as I can, or anime or even book reviews. Hence this new effort, Fast-Shot Comics Reviews, which I'm hoping to make a regular weekly thing on the blog. But no pressure! Every week on Wednesday, I'm going to try and review about 6 comics from the week prior that I didn't get to in that week, and see where things go from here!
The picks for this week are: Archer & Armstrong: One Percent #1, Deep State #1, Django/Zorro #1, Hexed #4, The Kitchen #1 and Unity #12. As you can see, four of this comics are brand-new series, with the very first one being a spin-off of Valiant Comics' hit title Archer & Armstrong. I picked these six comics because they are undoubtedly among the best comics I read this week, but also because they are all incredibly diverse, very different to each other and to other comics on the shelves this past week, especially Unity #12 which is a superhero comic, but deals with something rather different than the norm.
Sleepy Hollow Season 2 Eps 8-9 (TV Show Review)
Sleepy Hollow's season two has tried to go bigger and better with each episode, trying to establish a much stronger story that ties in all the different characters while introducing new ones and also moving the town of Sleepy Hollow one step closer to the Apocalypse with Moloch himself as its initiator. The previous episodes have done much to explore the various mysteries of the town and also show how Henry is an absolutely manipulative bastard and how much he really hates both his parents, not to mention that Hawley really is coming together well for the team and developing into a high-profile asset.
"Heartless" and "Mama" are quite intense episodes, both of them. In the former, we see that Henry conjures a succubus to steal the life-energy of people in Sleepy Hollow and feed it to a child, who we later come to see is Moloch himself, finally given physical form. In the latter, we visit with Abby and Jenny's mother, and it is a very, very emotional episode. We learn some truths about how and why their mother killed herself and while at the same time, we also learn that Henry and Moloch have grand plans for Katrina, and that these plans are quite nefarious indeed, in one way or another.

This beautiful Chevelle was purchased out of Ohio by the previous owner. It
was a drag car with slicks and a wheelie bar when he bought it. He wanted
to buy a drag car because they are never driven in rain or snow so the body
is typically very solid. It took him two years to restore the car. He owned
it for a total of seven years before he decided to sell it. The only thing
they did not personally do on the car was the paint, which was
professionally done. This car is badged as a 396, but has a big block 454ci
engine under the hood!

Taken from my old Pimpedoutrides7293 channel from the Sheehy Ford Mustang Day video, here's a classic
white Chevelle accelerating out of the dealership parking lot
1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396/402 Frame Off Resto 350HP!
The story starts in 1978 with this car. I originally bought it 31 years ago
and loved it. Absolute power, beautiful looks, solid muscle car body. In a
weird sequence of events, I ended up trading it in at Dvorak's Chevrolet in
Stoughton, WI for a 1973 Chevy Laguna (I'm not sure what I was thinking
The car then ended up with another owner who had it for 17 years. He
performed a body off restoration and put in a remanned engine. He also
painted it black with gold stripes (not a pretty sight, maybe it was the
1980s that inspired him, maybe Smokey and the Bandit).
In 2003 my youngest son bought it and immediately got three tickets, so I
"helped him out" and bought it back. It was nice to have it back, really. I
then finished the restoration and painted it back to the original colors
and put in a new interior.
I'm only selling this car because I want to build a $30,000 fence around my
horse farm for my daughters. That's it. This car has a lot of memories for
my family and myself, and I'd really love for someone as enthusiastic about
cars (particularly Chevelles) to buy it from me and carry on the legacy.
Check out the video we put together - it really shows how much fun you can
have with this car. It takes country roads and eats them for breakfast.
This car can be a cruiser or if you want to open it up, an absolute beast.

Osama bin Laden was unquestionably within reach of U.S. troops in the mountains of Tora Bora when American military leaders made the crucial and costly decision not to pursue the terrorist leader with massive force, a Senate report says.
The report asserts that the failure to kill or capture bin Laden at his most vulnerable in December 2001 has had lasting consequences beyond the fate of one man. Bin Laden's escape laid the foundation for today's reinvigorated Afghan insurgency and inflamed the internal strife now endangering Pakistan, it says.
Staff members for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's Democratic majority prepared the report at the request of the chairman, Sen. John Kerry, as President Barack Obama prepares to boost U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
Special: Get Sarah Palin's New Book – Incredible FREE Offer – Click Here Now.
The Massachusetts senator and 2004 Democratic presidential candidate has long argued the Bush administration missed a chance to get the al-Qaida leader and top deputies when they were holed up in the forbidding mountainous area of eastern Afghanistan only three months after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Although limited to a review of military operations eight years old, the report could also be read as a cautionary note for those resisting an increased troop presence there now.
More pointedly, it seeks to affix a measure of blame for the state of the war today on military leaders under former president George W. Bush, specifically Donald H. Rumsfeld as defense secretary and his top military commander, Tommy Franks.
"Removing the al-Qaida leader from the battlefield eight years ago would not have eliminated the worldwide extremist threat," the report says. "But the decisions that opened the door for his escape to Pakistan allowed bin Laden to emerge as a potent symbolic figure who continues to attract a steady flow of money and inspire fanatics worldwide. The failure to finish the job represents a lost opportunity that forever altered the course of the conflict in Afghanistan and the future of international terrorism."
The report states categorically that bin Laden was hiding in Tora Bora when the U.S. had the means to mount a rapid assault with several thousand troops at least. It says that a review of existing literature, unclassified government records and interviews with central participants "removes any lingering doubts and makes it clear that Osama bin Laden was within our grasp at Tora Bora."
On or about Dec. 16, 2001, bin Laden and bodyguards "walked unmolested out of Tora Bora and disappeared into Pakistan's unregulated tribal area," where he is still believed to be based, the report says.
Instead of a massive attack, fewer than 100 U.S. commandos, working with Afghan militias, tried to capitalize on air strikes and track down their prey.
"The vast array of American military power, from sniper teams to the most mobile divisions of the Marine Corps and the Army, was kept on the sidelines," the report said.
At the time, Rumsfeld expressed concern that a large U.S. troop presence might fuel a backlash and he and some others said the evidence was not conclusive about bin Laden's location.

Shepparton business filling a gap
One of Shepparton's newest businesses has received a positive response from the community after opening in one of the central business district's vacant sites.JENNA BISHOP April 4, 2014 6:07am
Business blossoming: Little Lipari cafe's barista Alastair Prentice and owners Joe and Claire Di Stefano.
Joe and Claire Di Stefano opened their Maude St cafe, Little Lipari, in July last year.
Greater Shepparton City Council data indicates several new businesses have opened in the past two years, with shop vacancy rates decreasing almost 20 per cent.
Mr Di Stefano said community response had been positive to their new business venture.
''It's getting busier and busier each month,'' he said.
Mr Di Stefano said as a local, opening a business in Shepparton had been considered for several years.
However, he said it was still a nerve-racking decision.
''Even though you might know a lot of people, you still worry. You never know what's going to happen,'' he said.
Mr Di Stefano said the northern side of the central business district had always appealed as a potential new business site.
''I thought it would be a great spot, it's close to the CBD and the parking's not too bad,'' he said.
''One of the other things that attracted me was the trees out the front — people often say it reminds them of Europe.''

Rebel leader threatens offensive action in eastern Ukraine
KIEV (Reuters) - A separatist leader in eastern Ukraine warned Kiev that pro-Russian rebels would take the offensive again after regrouping forces in the region's biggest industrial hub of Donetsk.
"We're not preparing ourselves for a siege, we're preparing ourselves for action," Alexander Borodai said in an interview in Moscow with Russian Internet outlet Gazeta.ru in Moscow.
Militants fled the rebel stronghold of Slaviansk over the weekend, following months of fighting, in a victory for Kiev that President Petro Poroshenko called a "turning point" in its fight against the separatists.
But Borodai, who has been appointed by the rebels as prime minister of their self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, said the escape from Slaviansk by self-styled rebel defense minister Igor Strelkov, a Muscovite, had given the separatists a chance to concentrate their fighting power.
They have at their disposal tanks, armored vehicles and rocket systems.
"Strelkov is the chief commanding officer. Now a strict vertical of command will be built through all armed units, which I coordinated with greater or less success. Igor and I will be able to build a very effective, clear vertical," he said.
Armed groups have flooded the city of Donetsk since Slaviansk's fall. Two bridges were destroyed on Monday after Ukraine's deputy security council chief said forces would blockade the capitals of the two separatist regions, Donetsk and Luhansk.
"Any blockade of these two cities by the Ukrainian army is impossible. The Ukrainian army and its resources are not in a state to carry out a real blockade on even one Donetsk, so I don't see a real threat in that in the future," he said.
Borodai said he was in consultations with Moscow on the conflict but said he had no insight into the Kremlin's plans and denied they had any direct funding from Moscow.
"Moscow is carrying out consultations with us regarding the regulation of the conflict, and that's why I've come here. But Moscow is not a side in the conflict, does not participate in it," he said.
"There are no direct tranches (of cash) ... But I definitely don't see in the Kremlin's plans a desire to preserve instability in so-called southeastern Ukraine."

Bangladesh take Windies series with nervy win
DHAKA (Reuters) - Bangladesh kept calm under pressure to clinch their one-day series against Twenty20 world champions West Indies 3-2 on Saturday, hailed by captain Mushfiqur Rahim as his nation's biggest victory.
Nasir Hossain played a crucial unbeaten innings of 39 as the home side survived Kemar Roach's vicious pace and the crafty spin of Sunil Narine to overhaul the West Indies' 217 all out with two wickets in hand when they ended 221-8 after 44 overs.
"We did not have one or two of our key players. So it was a big challenge and considering that, this is our biggest series win," said the Bangladesh skipper, whose side went 2-0 up in the series only to be pegged back to 2-2.
Influential all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan was ruled out of the first two matches last month but missed all five games as Bangladesh notched up their second series victory over the West Indies.
They first won with a 3-0 clean sweep against the under-strength hosts in the Caribbean in 2009.
"They are the current Twenty20 world champions and all the top players were playing so this was a very big occasion for us," added Rahim.
West Indies paceman Roach finished with 5-56 while Narine claimed 3-38 but they were unable to help defend their total, driven by a powerful half-century from Kieran Pollard who cracked 85 off 74 balls including eight sixes.
Roach removed openers Tamim Iqbal and Anamul Haque in his second over and then Jahirul Islam in his fifth to leave the hosts wobbling at 30-3 in front of a 25,000 crowd at Dhaka's Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, including Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
However, player of the match Mahmudullah and Rahim launched a counter attack to bring the roar back and put Bangladesh firmly on course before Narine silenced the gallery again when he ended their 91-run fourth-wicket stand.
Narine bowled Mahmudullah for 48 and was lucky to bowl Rahim for 44 when he defended well only to see it bounce and hit the stumps, putting the pressure back on the home side who still needed 85 runs for win.
Mominul Haque (25) held his nerve to add a further 53 runs with Nasir to take Bangladesh close to their target though the home side almost ruined the party after losing two quick wickets to Roach at the end of their innings.
Mominul earlier took two vital wickets to help Bangladesh restrict West Indies to a modest total after Pollard had threatened to take it beyond them.
Pollard joined Darren Bravo when West Indies were stuttering at 17-3 and struggling to keep the scoreboard ticking having gone five overs without scoring a run.
Pollard released the pressure off with eight sixes and five boundaries before Mominul bowled him to end his 132-run fourth-wicket stand with Bravo, who played the role of an anchor to score 51 off 108 balls.
Bangladesh then quickly wrapped up the innings as West Indies lost their last five wickets for 29 runs.
West Indies, who won the test series 2-0, will end their tour with a Twenty20 international on Monday.

"Very bright, vivid colours. The quality of paper was fantastic thick and sturdy. Beautiful invitations received quick with no hassle. Loved the invitations. Guests loved them as well."
"I received my invitations in 3 days instead of the 7-9 they predicted. My cards are beautiful and their customer service is outstanding. I had one thing I needed to change and the gentleman I spoke with was awesome. He fixed my card for me AND I received a handwritten personal thank you note for using Tiny Prints from him last week. It's awesome that there are still companies out there with outstanding customer service and a quality product. I WILL use Tiny Prints again!"
"But it doesn't matter- this invite looks great! Received many compliments on the invitation, but if you are looking for something with raised glitter this does not have that."
"This invite is super sweet for a little girl. The colors are right on and the fact you can put pictures on the back are great. The paper quality on the normal paper is excellent, nice and thick. I got the scalloped edges which give it such a dainty look. I absolutely love it."
"Very Cute and Very Nice. Bought this as a sample for bday invite consideration. This was my top choice when received - Love the color, we got this with the pearlized/shimmer finish, which is especially nice with this design but is not necessary. The shimmer finish is front and back, if wondering. The design on the back is also nice and light enough to be written on in dark ink, if you are wanting to add your own message to the back for whatever reason. Overall, I love it. Ultimately, the bday girl (age 7 - going on 8) chose a different invite design."
