Check showtimes to see when Amanpour is on CNN where you are. Or watch online.
CNN Terrorism Analyst Paul Cruickshank and Christiane Amanpour examine al Qaeda's "Inspire" magazine.
Of course it does either partially or signifantly. Philip Mudd is full of mud in his head blaming the boston bombing on Columbine similarity. Tell Philip Mudd its called radicalisation and most journalists and experts have agreed
al Qaeda has a magazine? Is that the one with the swimsuit issue?
I do not know much about the regulations and laws regarding press, online resources etc in the US. But these no doubt have a big impact and influence on how people think and consequently act, just like in schools, colleges, the authorities, teachers, lecturers have to consider very carefully before making decisions on what materials to deliver to their students and the wider communities. As far as we know, terrorism is strongly condemned by all societies and all religions, not just by the West and all other parts of the world but also by Islamic countries, Islam as well as all other religions. I believe the West and non Islamic countries could work together with Islamic countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan etc together with other Islamic groups and organisations to go through all these Islam and terrorist related materials to eliminate all the wrong doctrines and teachings in mosques, public places, papers and online ... which are aimed to brainwash, to influence and to encourage people to get involved in terrorist groups or commit such destructive acts upon innocent people and civilians all around the world. The very sad fact is that actually many self radicalised individuals are actually not devoted practising Islam, not reading the Quran or going to mosques etc until they become radicalised. Someway, somehow, once they have been radicalised, they suddenly become very devoted, believe strongly in God, God's purpose for them to commit such terrorist acts etc. Indeed, the terrorist groups, their intellectual people, leaders are abusing, manipulating the sacred doctrine, the Quran to produce wrong and sinful teachings, influences to control others. They are also abusing the rights for freedom of press and speech to spread their teachings too which is such a shame. Importantly I believe that many of these terrorist groups, the people who have been radicalised are very strong minded and determined, they are even mentally well prepared and willing to take their own lives in act of suicide bombings which means that it is just not simple and easy to change their minds, change their way of thinkings just by force, by threats of punishments etc, other methods, tactics really need to be in place such as education, counselling, preventing wrongful terrorist teachings and materials, talking sense and explaning destructive actions causing the pains and sufferings of millions of innocents and civilians which in no way can serve any purpose for God and in these methods, Islamic groups, organisations and teachers do have a very big part to play and we all need them to take their reponsibility to help tackle this problem.
It could be important for those who investigate terrorism and mental problems, but whether or not these brothers were somehow "radicalized" by foreign travel, online magazines and blogs is flatly irrelevant.
By all means, try to find anything that contributed to inspiring them to commit the terrible act they did in Boston, but don't use it to try to excuse what they did by even a hair.
They're Muslims. No further "inspiration" is required. We shouldn't assume that they mightn't have done it if not for some kind of egging-on from an exterior source. They needed none, and did it on their own.
Their own holy books contain ALL the inspiration anyone could want to go jihad and kill for Allah. This almost-desperate search to find some outside source that "radicalized" them or supported them is an attempt to tie al Qaeda in to this crime. Doing so makes it possible to keep telling us that it's al Qaeda who's the baddie, while they maintain the warm-fuzzy litany that "the VAST majority of Muslims are peaceful and tolerant". They don't want the bombing done by these brothers to hint that Islam itself is the motivator. Except that it IS. It ALWAYS is. It's the motivator of al Qaeda, too.
But even if they HAD been manipulated somehow, how can that excuse bombing people?
Each brother had a mind of his own, and could have applied it to reject anyone's attempt to "radicalize" them. If they were radicalized, it was entirely done by their own free will.
I'm a liberal. I can wish to look for excuses (in case there are any REAL ones) why somebody committed a crime. At least most of the time. But I refuse to go into denial for oil, or any other reason. Reality IS. A liberal has to accept reality, no matter how ugly it is, and then plan to ameliorate it or thwart it. Denying reality is self-destructive. A good liberal also does his homework. I've done mine on Islam for almost 20 years. Have you BOTHERED to read Quran and Hadith? Or do you just state things from second-hand sources as though they were truth? There is only ONE first-hand source on Islam: its holy books. Instead of speculating, read them, darn it!
These dudes killed for their god, pursuant to their god's DEMAND that they do jihad and slaughter infidels. The younger one claims it was done in retribution for the Afghan and Iraq wars, but he'd have done it anyway, because he and his brother had gone jihad, which means it's now their time to kill and kill and kill.
They are both Muslims. They went jihad. They killed for their god. They did it because they WANTED TO. For ISLAM. That's IT.
Anyone doubting this is welcome to download the Quran and Hadith. They are Islam's OWN holy books. They are Islam itself. READ them, end-to-end, and then you'll know what is behind all the evil things Muslims do in the world.
Islam is the inside-out of democracy. The prime directive of Islam is total global conquest. Islam is the worst threat humanity has ever known. It INTENDS TO BE.
Do your OWN homework. This is what you will learn. Our willingness to be goaded into denial of such a horrific threat is anti-survival. We could try to thwart their global conquest, but we have to acknowledge the threat first, and we keep refusing to do so. Therefore, Islam will win.
U are spot on. That is what I have said and hinting. But some of you americans are so ignorant and naive to the extent of denying is happening. yes they want the world to be islamic and allah is the god. They simply cant tolerate any other who is infidel
When a Christian has killed for his god, as the recent mass killer in Norway did, did you tell us: "Hey, he's a Christian, that's all you need to know." Of course not, and you should avoid uninformed and prejudiced generalizations about any religion. The vast majority of Muslims think the Tsarnaev brothers were nuts and their actions not Islamic, just as the vast majority of Christians feel the Norway mass murderer was a nut and his actions an insult to Christian morality.
Jihad-Holy War, Infidel – Non Believer. Islam is in itself an extremist religion without any distorted interpretation from another source. From the way they treat their woman to their intolerance of other religions. Muslims have been waging war against the Jews and Christians for centuries and will continue to do so. Two and a half million Muslims in the US and the trigger for them to commence with Jihad is in the Koran itself.
I think NO. I,m from EU. I,m not muslim beliver, I take a look for a couple of pages of that magazin. There is usual jihad stories. Nothing that extremly. They call muslim people to stand and to fight against teror, teror and terorist for them are everithing USA. That kids was to young. Maybe the older brother was angry about citizenship, maybe someone pay them.
Why a young kid like Johar, who is exelent medicine student do that terror attack. If they, i mean all muslim people hate americans, they can start a war of teror but attackin everithing that represent USA goverment, and not do suicidal attack and kill young people, kids and almost every one (mayoriti) who does not know what is war, terror etc.
I, m very sorry for everithing, nobody can find a peace of understanding that kids, but I think that someone learn them how to do bomb, when, why etc., to put a bomb. Nobady can wash mine brain and tell me what to do. My people was also in war with ex Jugoslavia country, and we hate many people because that, but there is no nothing similar like that terible terror atack.

Getting the band back together at CPAC
Continuing the Right's ongoing efforts to relive the 1990s, David Bossie will introduce Newt Gingrich at the Conservative Political Action Conference tomorrow.
Bossie and Gingrich were key players in the right-wing's efforts to undermine the last Democratic president. Gingrich was, of course, Speaker of the House; Bossie was a key staffer for Rep. Dan Burton's unintentionally-hilarious investigations of the White House.
While many conservatives seem to think that duplicating their conduct during the 1990s is the best way to deal with a new Democratic president, Gingrich and Bossie should serve as a cautionary tale - both men lost their jobs due in large part to their overzealous attacks on President Clinton.
Gingrich resigned his Speakership (and seat in congress) in disgrace after Republicans lost seats in the 1998 elections in large part because of public disgust at the GOP's obsession with the Lewinsky matter. Earlier that year, Gingrich had vowed to never again give a speech as Speaker without bringing up Lewinksy.
Bossie's obsession with attacking Clinton cost him his job, too. Bossie and Burton's investigation was a bumbling Keystone Cops routine that involved investigating Socks the White House cat, subpoenaing the wrong people (they kept getting confused by Asian-American surnames) and shooting up Burton's vegetable garden in an effort to prove that Vince Foster was murdered.
Bossie finally went too far even for House Republicans when he released doctored transcripts of Web Hubbell's prison conversations, falsely making it appear that Hubbell was implicating Hillary Clinton in wrongdoing. That led Gingrich to order Burton to fire Bossie, telling Burton: "I'm embarrassed for you, I'm embarrassed for myself, and I'm embarrassed for the [House Republican] conference at the circus that went on at your committee."
UPDATE: In case you're wondering what they're up to now, David Bossie is an author and "documentary" producer, among other things, and Gingrich is a Fox News contributor.

Governor Lingle releases $3 million for Kapiolani Community College's culinary arts programKapiʻolani Community College
Director of Capital Improvements
John Morton, (808) 956-7038
Interim Vice President for Community Colleges
HONOLULU - Governor Linda Lingle has released $3 million for planning, land settlement, and design costs for the development of the Cannon Club site for Kapiʻolani Community College's (KCC) Culinary Arts program.
The Cannon Club site, the former Fort Ruger Officers' Club, was transferred to the state by the federal government. The Board of Land and Natural Resources approved a direct lease of the site to the University of Hawaiʻi in September 2001, which was executed in August 2004.
"This lease enables the university to develop new instructional and restaurant facilities for KCC's Culinary Institute of the Pacific at Diamond Head," said Governor Lingle. "The Culinary Institute will expand opportunities for current students, past graduates and industry professionals seeking advance degrees in the culinary arts and managerial positions."
"Our goal is to make Hawaiʻi a premier food destination where chefs can learn the techniques of Hawaiʻi Regional Cuisine, while residents and visitors can enjoy the fruits of their labor," said John Morton, UH interim vice president for community colleges. "We are grateful to the Governor and the Legislature for this design money. We are working with private sources to raise the construction funds for this exciting project."
The total project cost is $20,156,000. The architect is expected to be selected within the next month and the project design is expected to be completed by summer of 2007.

Answer their secret questions! Read Tarot cards with no skill!
This one is a LOT of fun! Use it as a magic trick, use it as a mindreading trick- use it as a fun party game!
Imagine being able to look like you can give a Tarot Card reading, without having any psychic ability, or any magical skills at all!
The basic idea is this: Give your spectator a written list of 60 numbered questions, and ask him to choose a question (and its corresponding number) and concentrate on it. Next, the spectator chooses several Tarot cards which are spread out for you to "read".
And here's where the fun really begins. As the performer, you have a choice on how to do this effect. If you are presenting it as a magic trick, you can simply reveal which question the spectator chose, as "You chose question 4".
If you are presenting this as a mindreading effect, you can say, "I see you chose Question 3" or "I see you chose the question about whether you will get a raise at work". You can also take more time in revealing the result, by saying "I get the impression that you are concerned about money, about your job. Did you choose the question about getting a raise at work?"
Of course, another way to do this effect is as a "fortunetelling" effect. Rather than reveal the question and/or the number of the question, you answer the question. For example, you would say "The cards say that your hard work will pay off this year when you get a big raise", instead of telling the spectator directly that they chose the question about getting a raise. This can be really hilarious if you come up with comical fortunes that you can reveal for each numbered question.
Of course, this is a magic trick, and is intended for entertainment purposes only.
And that's all you need!
Read up a bit on numerology or astrology so that you have some buzzwords you can use when presenting this effect.

Aaaand that's a wrap!
Cleo Caliente recently left the Disenchanted Kingdom and radio in general last Monday, and it's a bit weird knowing she probably won't be coming back anymore.
I still remember meeting her like it was yesterday: less than a month into the Disenchanted Kingdom while they were still a morning show, I guested to promote my second major show, Bound And Gagged, and that's where I ended up being an unofficial part of the Disenchanted Kingdom for the past three years. It was awesome, obviously.
And then I just hit it off with Cleo. Things just fell into place. And I don't mean this romantically.
Three years of ups and downs and general insanity. Good times. Bad times. Times when you'd want to strangle each other. Times when no words are necessary and you simply understand. Times when you'd walk across Binondo on Good Friday, and see a guy peeing in a plastic bag in full view of you. It's gonna be weird not having her as part of the Disenchanted Kingdom now, although that certainly doesn't mean Cleo and I would cease being friends. Still, there's a pang of sadness surrounding her departure from radio.
Of course, most people who don't know me too well would probably never forget that infamous run-in Cleo had with a hotel, and how that issue blew up to a point nobody expected it to. It was one of those key points in my life where I realized that as a friend, Cleo was a keeper, and I became more than just a fan of her talent on air and outright a fan of her as a human being.
I don't really need to go into the politics or the behind-the-scenes stories because they're irrelevant to one simple fact: we lost one of the good ones this week. The most disappointing part about it is it could have been avoided, and everything about this situation could have been turned around to unprecedented heights if enough people beyond the DK itself actually gave a damn. But noooo...
Cleo's unique point of view, her ability to quickly switch gears from demure to witty to provocative to abrasive at the snap of a finger, and her sheer desire to better herself were assets that her station happened to be very lucky to have. Unfortunately, they just let her go gently into that goodnight. A whimper instead of a blaze of glory, through no fault of her own, or the entire team, for that matter.
A shame, really. I take consolation in the fact that better times lie ahead for Cleo Caliente, and she will continue to blaze a trail only she can. I definitely wish her success, and I'm sure she can kick @$$ in anything she'd truly put her mind into.
Godspeed, Cleo! You will be missed on radio, but the radio industry's loss will surely be a different industry's massive gain.
Here's to nearly three years of friendship, and to hopefully less running-into-dicks-during-Good-Friday for us!

LAPD records: Dorner had troubled tenure
Hundreds of pages of court records, which include confidential Internal Affairs reports, detail a pitched struggle between Christopher Jordan Dorner and the Los Angeles Police Department.
Almost from the beginning of his employment the seeds of Dorner's 11,000-word manifesto, which details his grievances against the department, were sown.
His troubles began as a Police Academy recruit in February 2006. It was then Dorner filed an official complaint, saying two other recruits had made "ethnic remarks," an investigator wrote. The department found one recruit made such a comment, but the other had not.
The court records outline Dorner's attempt to overturn his 2009 firing from the LAPD for lying about another officer's conduct. Dorner himself said the failure of those appeals led directly to last week's rampage.
"I have exhausted all available means at obtaining my name back," Dorner wrote in his manifesto posted Monday on Facebook. "I have attempted all legal court efforts within appeals at the Superior Courts and California Appellate courts. This is my last resort. The LAPD has suppressed the truth and it has now lead to deadly consequences."
Those deadly consequences include three homicides in which Dorner, 33, is a suspect and as a result the subject of a statewide manhunt. The killings include the shooting of a Riverside police officer, and Dorner's manifesto threatens the lives of LAPD officers and their families.
He told a colleague he wasn't happy with the outcome of the complaint he filed as a recruit. Dorner, who is black, said he believed the LAPD was racist and planned to sue the department once his probation was over.
His 2007 accusation against another officer led to an investigation, an internal hearing and court appeals that together spanned more than four years.
The court records not only outline Dorner's legal case and his complaints about racism, but hint at his trouble fitting back in after a year of military service in Iraq.
Dorner, a Navy reservist, spent just four months on the street after graduating from the Police Academy in February 2006. He was called to active military duty that July and served in the Iraq War before returning to the LAPD in July 2007.
Because of his military duty, his probation was extended, and he was assigned to ride with a training officer, Teresa Evans.
Not long into their time together, Evans told investigators, Dorner started crying while they were in a car and asked to be taken back to the station. He had asked about "reintegration" training given to officers returning from military duty, Evans said.
"Dorner acknowledged that he might have some issues regarding his deployment in Iraq," an investigator wrote after interviewing Evans.
He eventually completed a class called "restoration training," the investigators found.
About the same time, Dorner's personal life appeared troubled. Court records show his wife filed for divorce in 2007, though there's no evidence one was granted. The two have no children.
An earlier relationship had ended badly just a year before, when court records show Dorner unsuccessfully requested a restraining order against an ex-girlfriend.
About a month after rejoining the police force in 2007, Dorner made a complaint about Evans, saying she had kicked a suspect during an arrest. Evans said it was untrue, and witness reports were conflicting.
That August 2007 complaint sparked an internal investigation that led to Dorner — not Evans — being brought up on internal charges.
Dorner was accused of making a false report.
"The investigation alludes to the fact that Dorner was struggling to reintegrate to the Department upon his return from a year of military duty," an internal report says. "Whether that in some way created the motivation for him to make this complaint is not known, however it does not rationalize it."
In the end, the LAPD found Dorner had lied.
And it's that judgment that appears to have consumed him in the years since. In his manifesto, the word "truth" or "truthful" appears 20 times. Some version of the word "lie" appears 15 times.
Among those he accuses of lying: LAPD officers, a high school vice principal and a port police officer.
He demands the LAPD clear his name publicly, saying that only then will the killings stop. He sent a video that he says exonerates him to CNN's Anderson Cooper with a note labeled "I never lied!"
After Dorner returned to duty in July 2007, he wasted little time telling Evans, his training officer, about his problems with the department.
Evans told another officer about "an unusual conversation she had with Dorner regarding the fact that Dorner seemed preoccupied with the race of officers and the suspects they arrested," the internal report says.
"Dorner continually tried to solicit information from Evans regarding whether or not she saw any racist behavior or if she had been treated badly by the Department," the report says. "At some point within the first week, she told Dorner that their relationship and conversation needed to be geared toward training and not personal matters."
He seems preoccupied with race in the manifesto, too, criticizing some white, black, Hispanic and Asian officers for their own forms of racism and calling them "high value target(s)."
His resentment seems to stem from his time at the Police Academy, where he was "shunned" as a snitch after filing the complaint about the other recruits, his lawyer wrote in a court filing.
On July 28, 2007, within Dorner's first month back on the force, he and Evans went to a San Pedro hotel for a report of a man causing a disturbance. The man, who had schizophrenia and dementia, didn't listen to officers' commands, and they took him to the ground and used a Taser to subdue him.
Dorner later said Evans kicked the man three times, but told him to leave that out of the report. Dorner wrote a report that doesn't mention the kicks.
He never reported the kicks until almost two weeks later, August 10, when he told a sergeant about them. That sparked the Internal Affairs investigation.
Dorner told investigators he worried he could face retaliation because Evans was friends with another sergeant who investigated the use of force in the arrest.
His lawyer later gave a different explanation for not reporting Evans' actions sooner: He didn't want a repeat of his experience being shunned in the academy.
The Internal Affairs report suggests another motive: Evans had warned him he wasn't performing well, and he wanted to get her in trouble.
In the interim, Evans told investigators, she warned Dorner after an incident August 4. As officers were on a call involving an armed man, Dorner stood in the middle of a sidewalk with no cover, Evans said.
Evans told him his tactics needed to improve or she might recommend he be removed from the field. She said she spent 20 or 30 minutes talking with him to try to figure out how she could help him.
The internal report recommended the accusations against Evans be deemed unfounded. It had a stinging rebuke for what it called Dorner's false claim and recommended he be fired if found guilty by a Board of Rights.
"Members of this Department are expected to conduct themselves with the highest degree of honesty and integrity," the report says. "By his false allegations of misconduct, Dorner has failed to uphold those values."
In June 2008, Dorner was placed on inactive duty. In January 2009, a Board of Rights made up of two captains and an attorney found him guilty of making false statements and making a false complaint.
On February 5, 2009, then-LAPD Chief William Bratton signed an order firing Dorner.
Months later, Dorner went to court to overturn the firing, his first effort to clear his name.
But Superior Court Judge David Yaffe found in 2010 that Dorner hadn't proved the firing was improper. The judge noted that such administrative decisions are given a "presumption of correctness" under the law.
It was up to the board to listen to witnesses and decide who was lying, the judge said.
A state appeals court agreed, writing in October 2011: "There is substantial evidence in the record to support the Board's finding. The Board simply found appellant not credible and thus implicitly found Sergeant Evans credible."
Dorner remained a Navy reservist until an honorable discharge February. 1. Police say the first of the killings was a double homicide Sunday, February. 3, in Irvine.
One of the victims was the daughter of a captain who represented Dorner at his departmental hearing.

Pretty Little Liars is ready to introduce some of the good people of Ravenswood, and we've got exclusive details on the spin-off's cast of tortured characters.
RELATED | ABC Family Renews Pretty Little Liars for Season 5
The new drama finds five strangers suddenly connected by a fatal curse that haunts the city, prompting them to dig into their hometown's mysterious past before it's too late.
Read on to get the scoop on three Ravenswood series regulars who will make their debut during Liars' third annual Halloween special, which will introduce the off-shoot's titular city and its residents.
MIRANDA | She's a feisty, disarming and unconventionally attractive 17-year-old. As a fiercely independent foster kid, she has tons of confidence, but it was hard-won. She uses her wits to cover her emotional scars. If you can break through the tough exterior, you've got a fearless, loyal friend for life.
ABEL | Hottie alert: The 17-year-old is a lone wolf and old soul with brooding intensity. He may have something dangerous lurking inside him — or maybe he's just wounded and trying to hide it. His trust is hard to earn, but once you've got it, he'll never let you down.
OLIVIA | Abel's twin sister is a former prom queen who is struggling with a recent fall from grace. She used to be a carefree, happy teenager, but recent events have her questioning what's important, what's not and who her real friends are now that they've suddenly turned their backs on her.

Buying a business is a calculated risk. What may seem attractive from the outside may look entirely different once an acquirer takes full control. That's why due diligence is such an important step in the M&A process. Done right, it helps acquirers minimize risk and gives them confidence that they can actually create sustainable value through the acquisition.
Due diligence has become dramatically more complex over the last two decades. In some cases, acquirers will have to cope with as many as ten different work streams tied to due diligence in the course of evaluating a single deal. Typical steps of commercial due diligence include:
There are six steps to a structured M&A process. The first three steps help identify promising companies that can bring value to the corporate portfolio. The next three steps, explained below, take the buyer through the due diligence process, negotiation, and pre-close integration planning.

Drug Czar Supports More of the Same
The International Centre for Science in Drug Policy (ICSDP), a nonprofit organization of scientists, health care practitioners, and academics based in Canada and Britain, released a report this week that found that when government cracks down on the drug trade the result is an increase in violence. The group reviewed over 300 international studies from the last 20 twenty years. 87 percent of the studies reviewed show a direct correlation between intensified drug law enforcement and drug market violence.
Of course, this should come as no surprise since even without scientific literature anyone can point to examples from history. The largest lesson to be learned from the prohibition of alcohol in the 1920s was that when government bans a demanded commodity consumers will find a way to get it and suppliers will find a way to supply it – unfortunately more often than not through the use of violence. Thus, prohibition was a boom to organized crime in the 1920s as its profits soared and crime rates rose. Similarly, the Drug War in the United States has had few if any victories in regards to reducing drug use and violence on our streets continues to be its biggest shortcoming. Finally, the current Drug War in Mexico has been a catastrophe for that country. There have been massive increases in gun violence, beheadings, and kidnappings since Felipe Calderon started the crusade. Close to 23,000 deaths are attributed to the intensified drug law enforcement. Worst yet, Mexico's Drug War no longer threatens to spill over into our country, it is already here.

"Charge of The Light Brigade"
(Guest blogged by Giant Sotong)
Half a league, half a league,Alfred, Lord Tennyson
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
"Forward, the Light Brigade!
"Charge for the guns!" he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
"Forward, the Light Brigade!"
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Someone had blunder'd:
Their's not to make reply,
Their's not to reason why,
Their's but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.
Flash'd all their sabres bare,
Flash'd as they turn'd in air,
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wonder'd:
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro' the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reel'd from the sabre stroke
Shatter'd and sunder'd.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.
When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.
Honor the charge they made,
Honor the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred.
A slip of the keyboard gave away my fondness for narrative poems, which included Robert Browning's Pied Piper of Hamelin, and Tennyson's Charge of The Light Brigade.
Charge was a bit more memorable because it commemorates an event that took place in one of the many battles fought during the Crimean War. From the moment I learned to read, I found fact more fascinating than fiction. This was evident in the number of encyclopaedias at home, one of which mentioned the infamous charge ("...the 600-odd riders charged towards the wrong guns!").
I first Tennyson's "account" of the charge during secondary school; the poem was part of a comprehension exercise. I vaguely remember flipping through all my English books looking for poetry and excerpts from books, more out of boredom than anything else; it was the only subject I excelled in without having to study. But I digress.
So, what was the Charge?
In the 19th century, an alliance of British, French and Turkish soldiers faced off the Russians in the Crimean War. The battle which saw Tennyson's Charge was to prevent the port of Balaclava, the British supply base, from falling into Russian hands. At one point during the battle, Russian soldiers managed to overrun a position manned by some Turks and made off with a small cache of British cannons. The Light Brigade, a detachment of lightly armed cavalry, was sent to retrieve the hardware.
However, the army commander who gave the order forgot to take the terrain into account. While he could follow the thieving Russians from his vantage point high above the battlefield, that path was not visible to the Light Brigade. They ended up charging into a narrow valley bristling with a live battery of guns manned by the Russian Don Cossacks. The army commander could only watch as the cavalry rode towards their doom.
Fortunately for the Light Brigade, all wasn't lost. The Don Cossacks, caught off-guard by the cavalry's reckless manoeuvre, didn't score as many kills as they should have. Unable to retrieve the stolen guns, the Light Brigade had to make do with the Don Cossacks.
While the Charge completely freaked out the Russians, it was less well-received at home. The usual finger-pointing and drama took place over who was to blame. It's all depressing when you realise all this hasn't changed much after two centuries. Nobody chose to fault the soldiers, who were eulogised by press and poet alike.
Warfare has since evolved, but the factors that made the Charge possible still haunts today's armies. When it eventually ends, who will pay homage to the US' Noble Three Thousand (and Counting)?

Technological Innovation (It's Inevitable)
August 11, 2009
by Lisa Gualtieri, PhD, Adjunct Clinical Professor, Tufts University School of Medicine
"Nothing is certain but death and taxes," said Benjamin Franklin. Celine Dion's version is, "Rain, Tax (It's Inevitable)." My version is "Technological Innovation (It's Inevitable)" when I see yet another announcement about a new social networking site or upgrade to an existing one. Plaxo, the poor stepchild to LinkedIn, had today's innovation, with the addition of groups that members can set up and invite other members to join. This makes sense when people are congregating around common professional interests. But health issues?
I looked at the profile of someone who had connected to me in Plaxo and learned that he is member of "Living in Pain". The group's page provided the following description: "Anyone who has pain from any source, or a caregiver is welcome here. RSD, CRPS, RA, LUPUS , Fibromyalgia or any other condition. We are here to gather support and have fun at the same time."
Support can have a huge impact on how someone copes with disease. Pain is particularly difficult because there might be no outward manifestation of it, such as with Rheumatoid Arthritis, as I learned from Diane Aronson, the past president of the Roadback Foundation.
But what I questioned here was not the existence of an online support group, but having one for people "living in pain" as part of a professional network. I was surprised people were comfortable being open about their health issues in this way and I wondered if it leads to better support, or the ability to connect online with peers in a more meaningful way than in a less professional setting. Possibly they even discuss how to cope with pain in the workplace. But I am concerned about the stigma of disease in the workplace and if playing membership in such a group in a professional profile is, using the acronym common to the online world, TMI (too much information).

Snopes.com, the best source on the Web for finding out whether that chain email in your inbox is true or false, has weighed in on the SC cheerleader seemingly cheering for a Texas TD.
They say the answer in inconclusive since we don't know the context (was it really a photo of a UT TD or just a close try for a first down that, from her angle, she thought had been stopped).
The plot thickens.
P.S. If you're not a Snopes.com reader, it's a great site. Very handy for that one person who forwards you all that Internet crap with 6 feet of headers, sends you the latest "100% true" story sweeping the Net. You know, guys like "Steve."

Stephen Merchant might be the funniest Brit you never knew you were laughing at, but Ricky Gervais' low-key writing partner is about to come out of the shadows.
Merchant has signed on to the Farrelly brother comedy "Hall Pass," a New Line comedy starring Owen Wilson. He'll play one of Wilson's pals along with newly cast J.B. Smoove (Leon on HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm"), according to the Hollywood Reporter. The movie revolves around a pair of married couples who decide to experiment with the concept of a free pass for approved romantic encounters outside the marriage.
The 6-foot-7 Merchant, who co-wrote the British version of "The Office," has previously kept a low-profile. Even when appearing on HBO's "The Extras" (which he also co-wrote with Gervais) he kept his hilarious scenes to a minimum. He is currently starring in HBO's fantastic "Ricky Gervais Show," the animated version of the internet-phenom podcast.
U.S. & World
Merchant said his uncommon height, a constant source of needling from his famous writing partner, drew laughs long before he decided to go into comedy.
"I've always been freakishly tall. Even in school. It's probably one of the reasons I went into comedy," Merchant said in a recent press conference. "People were always pointing and laughing at me. I thought might as well make money off it."

Spring 2011 New York Fashion Week: Richard Chai Love
Richard Chai Pared It Down on His Love Runway, But Still Has Prints in the Showroom for Spring 2011
>> Richard Chai is a master at layering, and making clothing that appears layered: for Spring 2011, he mashed his primarily neutral collection up with bandeau bras, sheer "body stocking" slouchy leggings, knit "cummerbunds" at the waist, and even did dresses over pants — which Joe Zee Tweeted he was into.
Although Chai's signature prints and embroideries were nowhere to be seen, he didn't drop them altogether. They were just hiding out in the showroom: "All the prints, the embellishment, the embroidery, all of those things are still in the collection. But what I'm showing on the runway is not that." He added: "It's just a cleaned-up, stripped-down aesthetic."
Chai loves to pair flats with his Love collection — last season it was Timberland boots, and this season, every model was in metallic or black brogues made in collaboration with New York-based label Heutchy. And there was the requisite Phillip Lim sighting — the designer was, as usual, front row: "I'm only making it out to Richard's shows in terms of catching other shows. I always just do Richard's. He is my dear friend, so I move mountains to try and get here!"

One of the most important roles for any financial planner is helping clients meet their individual goals. In most cases, this includes sustaining their lifestyle once they cease working. Though retirement is an evolving concept, most look forward to a time when they no longer have to work, and the very essence of financial planning is preparing for that day. Though financial planning includes investments, taxes, estate planning, insurance and philanthropy, it often boils down to how to build and protect assets so clients and their heirs can enjoy the fruits of a lifetime's work.
For financial planners who work with family business owners, all of these issues are present. However, they are often more challenging to address because the client's personal financial issues are intertwined with running the business. Because family business transitions are complex, involving many different experts (lawyers, accountants and M&A specialists, to name a few), financial planners need to know when to take the lead.
The key is understanding the unique nature of family business transition planning. Succession planning itself includes several different elements, including setting goals for the transition process; creating a plan; determining whether the business will be passed to the next generation or sold outside the family; establishing a plan for life after the transition; and creating lifestyle balance for the retired owner. Financial planners play an important role in most of these elements.
During the goal-setting stage, much of the focus is on asset preservation, taking care of the extended family, and creating financial independence for the owner. The process doesn't revolve solely around the owner, though—the family is just as important. What are the owners' core values and goals, and how can they be prioritized? When the family's values differ from the owner's, how can they be reconciled? Establishing core values and goals is the essential first step to creating a financial plan. The answers to these questions will inform the rest of the process, and it's important that the family be part of this discussion.
Next comes planning for the transition. Much of this revolves around business versus personal issues, such as determining the strengths and weaknesses of the company, future management, and employee and vendor relations. However, there is one key element of the planning stage that falls into the realm of financial planning: creating a personal financial plan for the departing owner that addresses how his or her goals will be met.
A personal financial plan is the owner's strategic retirement plan. Every plan should identify and prioritize personal goals, appraise the owner's definition and tolerance for risk, offer an appropriate investment strategy, and prepare the owner for retiring into a balanced and productive lifestyle. This is an area in which financial planners must take the lead.
Intergenerational estate planning is part of the process, particularly when there is more wealth than the owner will need. Most estate planning occasioned by a business transition revolves around tax minimization and transfer options. Where significant wealth is present, planning should be multi-generational and consider the estate tax, asset protection and gifting requirements of future generations as well. Specific strategies are determined by the family's goals, demographics, existing tax law, timing of the transition and how early in the process planning has started.
Finally, where charitable intent is present, charitable planning prior to the transition can often achieve important tax benefits, in addition to furthering the family's philanthropic goals.
The final two stages of transition planning are related: planning for life after transition and achieving lifestyle balance. Few advisors wish to tread here, leaving an opportunity for financial planners to help.
After the transition, the focus will switch from creating wealth to protecting it. Financial planners identify the owner's tolerance for risk and create a plan for preserving the wealth the owner has created. This includes minimizing the amount of wealth lost to taxes. Finally, financial planners help create a wealth transfer plan to meet the owner's goals for his heirs.
Ultimately, the financial planner's skills help create a plan that addresses the owner's financial security and the needs of future generations. In a complex situation in which a variety of professionals with different areas of expertise must work together, it's important for financial planners to understand where they can provide the most value and be willing to exert their influence when necessary to promote the interests of the transitioning business owner.

It's said that Louisville loves zombies, and the great turnout for the first annual 5k zombie survival run was further evidence. Over 500 people turned out to run the race, while about an 8th of that turned up as zombies. All proceeds benefit The Alley Theater.
I joined in the fun as zombie medusa, taking full advantage of my tail to try to trap runners. The runners had red flags velcro-ed to their belts and it was our job to try to steal them as they passed. It got a little precarious at times. Runners would forcefully hit our hands away or grab our arms to move them away from them.
"There's something psychological that kicks in," said one runner. "I didn't think I would react like that."
Other runners grabbed their flags and moved them as they ran by. Some runners banded together to protect their young. Despite these defense mechanisms, a majority of runners lost all three of their flags before they were even halfway through the race thanks to some very tricky zombies.
"I bent over like I was tying my shoe, " said a zombie participant dressed like a jogger. "I watched for people coming behind me through the opening between my arm and body. As they got close, I jumped up and turned, grabbing their flags."
Frisbee field had an array of treats for participants. Roobie Red Tea (a locally owned organic tea company) handed out free tea, Bearnos supplied pizza, and Frostitution Baked Goods had a baked good tables set up next to the free massage tent provided by Louisville School of Massage. There was also a concession stand and plenty of photographers. One of the attractions also provided free polaroid pictures to runners posing with zombies. The Alley Theater, a low budget progressive theater, really pulled a great survival trick with this event thanks to help from many sponsors like Blue Mile running store, who now has a new store in the Highlands.

Surviving the Death Loop
Kiteboarding tutorial video about fighting against uncontrolable kiteloop, also called the "Death Loop". Highly recommended to see for beginner and intermediate kiteboarders.
Example footages for the video were taken from here:
Original footage by Michael Krøse
Original footage by Daniel Liesveld
This video footage was taken in light to medium wind conditions with 8m North Rebel kite. Though I successfully used the technique, described in the video, also in heavy wind conditions up to 35 knots on the same kite, please mind that the steering line pressure may vary, depending on wind speed, kite type and kite size!
Please note, that this technique is recommended for use in case of serious safety system failure. If your quick release system is not blocked, I recommend to use the QR first, and to release the kite completely in case of any danger.

I still don't know what to make of Cheerful Weather for the Wedding by Julia Strachey. I think I'm going to have to read it again. Not a big deal, since it's such a short book.
The story's plot all occurs on the day of Dolly's wedding to an older man. It was a short engagement. Dolly's mom, Mrs Thatchman, is running around getting all the last minute odds and ends together and preparing for guests. Dolly herself doesn't seem all that happy about her big day. Most of the day she's hiding up in her room. Guests trickle in, including Joseph an old admirer of Dolly's. He seems to be getting up the nerve to do something, but if he will remains to be seen.
There's a disconnect between Dolly and her mother. Mrs Thatcham flits around telling everyone what a beautiful day it is when it's a miserable cold March day. She speaks to everyone like she's a character in a play. Dolly is so unhappy, she's getting plastered with a bottle of rum in her room. She's not exactly the blushing bride.
The reason I couldn't get fully into Cheerful Weather was because I couldn't figure out the tone of the story. Is it a comedy? A tragedy? There are certain scenes that point to both: the brothers arguing over socks, comedy; Dolly's gloomy moping, tragedy. It wasn't until the end that I sort of figured out what was going on and that's after a character drops a big old bombshell. Even then I didn't know if this character was telling the truth or just trying to get a rise out of everyone. I did end up enjoying the writing even if I wasn't 100% happy with the plot.
What I came away with from this story is how people spite themselves by not saying what is on their minds.

1 lb chicken thighs, cut into cubes
2 T rice flour
salt and pepper
1 T butter
1 onion
2 carrots
2 stalks of celery
4 c chicken broth
1/2 to 1 c hot wing sauce (Franks brand is gf)
1 c gf noodles (I used Tinkyada fusilli)
3/4 c blue cheese, crumbled
Dredge the chicken cubes in rice flour, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Melt the butter in an appropriate soup making pot, and brown the chicken on all sides. Once browned, remove the chicken from the pot and stir in the vegetables. Cook the vegetables 15 minute over medium-low heat until softened. Add the chicken and any juices that have oozed out, then stir in the chicken broth, hot wing sauce and noodles. Watch out, the soup will be much spicier once it cooks for a few minutes than it will when you start! Bring to a simmer and cook about fifteen minutes, until noodles are tender. Stir in the blue cheese, and serve with extra blue cheese just in case.

In the United Kingdom, a mystery lottery player has lost out on a £64 million (US$102.5 million) fortune after the deadline to claim the prize expired and the money was handed to charity.
The unlucky individual, who bought the winning EuroMillions ticket in Hertfordshire on June 8th, had until 11pm yesterday to collect the massive windfall.
But despite a National Lottery publicity campaign, the would-be multi-millionaire missed the 180-day deadline — making the £63,837,543.60 prize the biggest unclaimed lottery win in history and the biggest ever windfall for the National Lottery Good Causes fund.
A National Lottery spokeswoman said, "Unfortunately, I can confirm that the ticket holder did not come forward within the deadline to claim their prize and has now sadly missed out on this staggering amount of money.
"The vast majority of prizes are claimed within the 180 days but to avoid this unfortunate situation happening again, we would urge all National Lottery players to check their tickets on a regular basis."
The distribution of the money will be the responsibility of 13 lottery distribution bodies across the country.
Health, Education, Environment, and charitable causes will receive the lion's share of the winnings, at 40 percent. Sports, The Arts, and Heritage will each receive 20 percent.
Michael Thompson, a spokesman for The National Lottery Good Causes, said, "Countless good causes will benefit from this unclaimed prize. National Lottery players should be proud that they are helping so many good causes in their own area.
"In theory, the £64 million unclaimed prize would fund over 6,000 minibuses to help kids with disabilities. The £64 million would also fund the improvement of approximately 7,800 play areas for children across the UK and build over 1,000 village halls/community centres across the UK."
National Lottery officials launched a desperate search for the holder, raising awareness through adverts and posters — with even a town crier proclaiming the win from a Lamborghini.
All lottery players were urged to check their tickets and search some of the more unusual places where "lost" tickets have been found in the past, such as in bin bags, wedged down the back of sofas and stashed in car sun visors.
The lottery spokeswoman added, "We tried very hard to find the ticket-holder, with lots of awareness-raising activity over the past 180 days, and it's a real shame that they have missed out, but there is still one winner — the nation."
In 2001 Martyn Tott, a purchasing manager from Watford, missed out on a jackpot of £3,011,065 after losing his ticket. Using computer records, he was able to prove the winning ticket was his but Camelot refused to pay out — since the rules state that the winner must have their ticket to claim their fortune.
The decision sparked a national furore, with even the then Prime Minister Tony Blair championing Mr Tott's cause — but all in vain.
The prize money would have allowed the winner to buy 339 houses at the average Stevenage price of £190,000 or — should the urge take them — more than two million bottles of champagne.
It would also have made them a good deal richer than the commuter town's most glamorous son, F1 driver Lewis Hamilton (who is worth a reported £55 million), and almost three times wealthier than local Harry Potter star Rupert Grint (worth a relatively paltry £24 million).
In 2004, £7 million went unclaimed in Belfast, and in September 2007 a £6.9 million win wasn't claimed in Devon.
Until now the largest unclaimed sum was £9.4 million, on a ticket that was bought in Doncaster in July 2005.
Camelot's Simon Horne says, "We all want winners to get their money but there must be a deadline. Otherwise every prize would just go on indefinitely. But this way billions of pounds have gone to good causes over the years — from funding the Olympics through bodies like Sport England to local playgroups and Scout clubs."
Still, the psychological fallout of a near miss can be devastating.
After Mr. Tott was denied his millions he plunged into depression, separated from his partner and moved to America, where he joined an evangelical cult. He has since returned and, claiming to have found happiness, written a book about his ordeal.
Residents in Stevenage can readily imagine the pain of losing a winning ticket. Marion Johnson, 56, a human resources manager, says, "Can you imagine? It would be awful. It's money that could completely change your life. If that were me, I'd feel sick."
Of course, the treasure hunt would not be needed if Camelot revealed the precise place where the winning ticket was sold.
Purchasing records mean that they can easily identify the shop — but the company's license forbids it from making that information public in order to maximize the winner's chances of anonymity.

OOPS! Don't lose those bloody tickets mates.
The charities can now partay!!!!!!!!!!!
This many unclaimed prizes leads me to believe that some of these individuals are using the multiple draw option and lose track of their tickets or checking it over time. This would be very likely if its not their personal numbers that they wouldn't instantly recognize.
"Do everything you can. Then, leave the rest to luck."
It is VERY easy to lose track, especially if multiple games are played with multiple draw days......
The 180 day deadline is too short. What if it's a soldier who was sent overseas.
Its just another part of the game that everyone agrees to when they buy a ticket.......
What if the big PB prize goes unclaimed and goes back into the prize pool........
we all know a small % of players, never check
some tickets just go unchecked
millions in bucks of small prizes, NEVER EVER get claimed in pb/mm and its just seem over seas with this game
this was one of them, a forgetten ticket, by some lazy moron no doubt.
at lest they help grow the jackpots and help whatever lotteries fund
its a real shame a player didn't get this thro
and i want it so unclaimed mega millions or powerball jackpots, get put back into Next full drawing jackpot
or give them a week to market it, aka next week jackpot will get a xxx million Boost,
or if wanted to be pure devil , make it rule, the money will be added into next jackpot to cross 300m
aka create a other monster with help of idiots losing a major jackpot, etc
just putting idea out there, i just want "jackpot pool" of unclaimed money to be put back in to future jackpot pools
people played so there could be a real human winning it,
not so some lottery winning there own lottery draw
sense we had a moron player suicide in a manner of speaking the money back to lottery
I liked the movie Titanic, my favorite character was the iceberg.
I thought that winning ticket step forward.
I agree Joshua, let the unclaimed jackpots go back into the lottery pool instead of back to the states. The players played the money not the states.
Stories like this convince me many player don't believe they will ever win so they don't bother to check their tickets or treat them as if they have value until after they've been checked even though they dream of winning.
* you don't need to buy every combination, just the winning ones *
He probly left the bloody thing in his knickers when he washed 'em.
The person may have had a heart attack when comparing their ticket to the winning numbers and croaked. The ticket may have fallen under the couch or chair and may still be sitting there....maybe they should check to see who died in the area where the ticket was sold around that time..lol...just a thought
hey ive been homeless, if someone no longer wants you in their house, say you can leave your stuff there till you find a place there, and when you go back to collect its on the road side. maybe it was the winning ticket. maybe it was in a stolen car that wwas torched, maybe the person died? \
there are a lot of reasons a ticket can go missing. its why our state has a player card that all tickets purchased are recorded on. IF THE TICKET IS LOST THEY HAVE YOUR CONTACT INFO . and they will forward the prize, usually a phone call the night of the draw for jackpots.
its how i always play.
" Still swinging, still missing " 2014 = -1016; 2015= -1409; 2016 = -1171; 2017 = -1257 ; 2018 = - 1380 = TOT = - 6233
keno historic = -2291 ; 2015= -603; 2016= -424; 2017 =-427; 2018= -223 TOT = -3968
It is indeed regrettable that you will be so quick to assign with impunity,"lazy moron" status to the winner without knowledge of the facts to backup your allegation of laziness and imbecility, which is what "moron" means and connotes.
In the eyes of Camelot, the winner is a missing winner, but it is also possible that the winner's status could be, far much more severe than a mere missing winner, and (heaven forbid) could have the parallel status of a missing person or worst still permanently unavailable.
Death is the inevitable, unavoidable, unscheduled end of all things, across all of space. All 7 billions of us currently on earth, and the millions of other species, animals, plants, and the earth itself, and yes, taxes and corporations too, are all doomed to the same inevitable, ever un-welcomed, possibly futile end of death; sometimes without notice, without warnings, just like that.
Perhaps the winner's current status is that of one, who is no longer in a shared existence with those of us still alive.
It is indeed a privilege to be alive, and our experience of life yesterday and today, gives us the hope that the same experience will be allowed, repeated and fulfilled for us again and again, with many more tomorrows to come our ways. But in the end, Man Proposes and God Disposes.
Not too long ago on these posts, many of us shared in writings. But noticeably absent was Ridge, and one of the members wrote; and expressed the concern that, He hopes that Ridge was OK, as it was not his style to be so absent. Yes, this is the ideal human reaction that we entertain, when a person that is known to a group, has not been heard from in a while. Even Ridge's avowed enemies on the lottery post, set aside all quarrels until the self declared oracle of the Appalachians was verified still alive and well. I hope you get the point.
Once again, I did a quick online verification for the definition of the word moron and the value returned from the freedictionary.com is as follows:
1. A stupid person; a dolt.
2. Psychology A person of mild mental retardation having a mental age of from 7 to 12 years and generally having communication and social skills enabling some degree of academic or vocational education. The term belongs to a classification system no longer in use and is now considered offensive."
I encourage you to retract your calling this winner "Moron", seek his/her forgiveness even in the spirit and that will suffice, and in so doing, you also affirm the dignity, civility, respectability and the class act of this forum, to continue to be, and reign un-interrupted.

Firms Attempt to Defrag Linux
In January, at LinuxWorld Conference and Expo, Linux distribution firms Caldera International and Turbolinux were busy preaching a new strategy: businesses operating in the Linux space need to carve out markets in the proprietary space above the open Linux kernel in order to survive.
The two firms, together with Conectiva and SuSE Linux, took that idea one step further Thursday when they announced that the four would move away from development of their own respective Linux distributions to create a global, uniform distribution of Linux designed for business. By creating a unified Linux distribution for the enterprise, the vendors hope to destroy what they see as the two primary inhibitors of widespread business adoption of Linux: the sheer number of Linux distributions available (which leads to concerns over fragmentation), and the lack of business software available for the platform. The move also means that each of the firms can reallocate some of its resources, currently dedicated to extending its Linux distributions, to other projects.In January, at LinuxWorld Conference and Expo, Linux distribution firms Caldera International and Turbolinux were busy preaching a new strategy: businesses operating in the Linux space need to carve out markets in the proprietary space above the open Linux kernel in order to survive.
The initiative, dubbed UnitedLinux, is intended to streamline Linux development and certification around the new distribution, making it attractive to ISVs and resellers that have had to train sales staff and certify each distribution it supports. Still, each of the firms retains the right to maintain its own, consumer-centric Linux distributions.
"UnitedLinux addresses enterprise customers'' need for a standard, business-focused Linux distribution that is certified to work across hardware and software platforms, accelerating the adoption of Linux in the enterprise," the firms said.
Ransom Love, chairman and chief executive officer of Caldera, added, "Caldera sees the formation of UnitedLinux as a tremendous benefit to the industry, to our customers, to our 16,000-member reseller channel, and to our IHV and ISV partners. Linux and Open Source have already changed the way software is developed in the new online world. UnitedLinux now offers a viable business model and creates a unified environment that will attract many more global business solutions to Linux enabling far greater adoption and use. Caldera plans to make Linux not just an alternative OS, but the dominant choice for businesses worldwide who are wanting to take advantage of the benefits of online services."
The four partners said they will each bundle value-added products and services with the UnitedLinux operating system, and each of the four partners will market and sell the resulting offering under its own brands. The four also said they each plan to offer their own server products based on UnitedLinux by the end of 2002.
Together, the four partners represent all four major markets for Linux-based enterprise solutions. SuSE, based in Germany, is very strong in the European market, Conectiva is strong in Latin America, Turbolinux has a very strong presence in the Asia/Pacific region, and Caldera is a strong player in North America. Collectively, the four players will lead in market share in Europe, Latin America and Asia/Pacific. In North America, they will be second in market share to the largest Linux player, Red Hat, which has made large strides in penetrating the enterprise market with partners like IBM.
While Red Hat is not initially a partner in the UnitedLinux initiative, the vendors said the initiative will be open to all Linux distribution companies.
"UnitedLinux is not a movement about anti-Red Hat," said Ly-Huong Pham, CEO of Turbolinux. "It''s all about satisfying the needs of our customers."
Caldera''s Love added that he contacted Red Hat about joining the initiative on Wednesday and spoke with Mandrake on Thursday morning. While he noted that neither firm has had enough time to come to a decision as to whether or not to join, he said Red Hat''s initial response was a desire to make a statement in support of the project.
"Too many distributions hamper the migration of applications to Linux, so if this effort by Caldera and others consolidates distributions it is a good development," said Mark de Visser, vice president of Marketing for Red Hat. "But in Linux, application support is everything. Red Hat Linux Advanced Server has it today. Time will tell if the Caldera group''s distribution will achieve the same level of support."
A host of leading enterprise system and software vendors immediately announced their support for the initiative, including AMD, Borland, Computer Associates, Fujitsu Siemens, Fujitsu Japan, HP, IBM, Intel, and NEC.
"IBM fully supports this new, UnitedLinux, which will make it easier than ever before to create a wide variety of Linux-based solutions for any size e-business," said Steve Mills, senior vice president and group executive, IBM Software Group. "UnitedLinux brings together the best technologies and capabilities of these four companies, delivering a single international Linux distribution that will make it simpler for solution providers to utilize and customers to deploy. Our support for UnitedLinux spans our entire Linux software, hardware, and services portfolio -- already the broadest in the industry -- giving our customers and business partners what they need to move more business workloads onto Linux."
Scott Handy, director of Linux Software Solutions at IBM, also noted that while Big Blue will strongly support UnitedLinux''s efforts to create a more unified enterprise-centric Linux, it will also continue its partnership with Red Hat across its key hardware, software, and service offerings.
"We will continue to aggressively support Red Hat across that same portfolio," he said.
