President George W. Bush's administration will brief president-elect Barack Obama and his team on contingency plans in case of an international crisis after his inauguration, the White House said Wednesday.
"We want to provide them, especially in the first few weeks, the basis for which they can have some information to make their decisions," said spokesman Gordon Johndroe. "This is a menu of contingencies and possible options. It is not exhaustive, it's not exclusive, and it's not prescriptive."
Johndroe confirmed a report in The New York Times that memorandums to Obama will cover several crisis scenarios including a North Korean nuclear explosion, a cyberattack on US computer systems, a terrorist strike on a US site overseas, or instability in the Middle East.
Each contingency plan outlines options Obama can consider.
Johndroe also said the administration is working to "make sure career officials are in place and ready to respond to a crisis should one occur early on in the next administration before appointees are in place."
The plans were recommended by the commission that investigated the September 11, 2001 attacks.
The commission noted problems during the hand over from former president Bill Clinton to Bush, and in its report on the attacks called for a better handover process.

The wait is finally over! Jasmine Villegas just unveiled the cover and tracklist of her debut EP That's Me Right There (due 10 November). The 20-year-old looks incredible on the sexy artwork — rocking a white one-piece and matching heels. It suits the exciting new direction of her music, which is personified by the catchy Kendrick Lamar-assisted title track.
It looks like K-Dot is the only feature on the EP, which means the collaboration Jasmine recorded with Problem and Jeremih has either been shelved or saved for her album. (Fingers crossed it's the latter). Given her incredible popularity on social media and string of catchy singles, it's hard to believe that this is the "Werk" diva's first official Extended Play.
"Jasminators it's been a long time coming but our first official ep will finally be here 11/10!" she wrote on Instagram. "Thank u so much for being on this journey with me and continuing to always be by my side. I love u all to pieces this is only the beginning the best is yet to come." See the full tracklist after the jump. More »

Problems with newborn hearing tests go back as far as 2010, a Ministry of Health investigation has found.
The inquiry was launched towards the end of last year after the ministry discovered irregularities in its national newborn screening programme, which began in 2007.
The investigation found eight screeners, out of a workforce of about 108, had not followed protocol. They had either screened the same ear of a baby twice, screened one ear followed by one of their own ears, or in some cases screened both their own ears instead of the baby's.
Four of the screeners at fault gave explanations including finding the job difficult, laziness, stress and not wanting to put families through the trouble of going through more testing.
The final report, released yesterday, said a small number of babies now aged between 2 and 3 were affected. This does not include babies who were in a special care unit or identified as being at risk of hearing loss, as they are covered by a different screening protocol.
The massive failings affected more than 2000 babies nationwide. If hearing loss goes undetected or is treated late, it may result in delayed speech, language and other development.
It is understood the eight screeners have lost their jobs, while 3500 babies have been offered rescreening.
Irregularities in the screening programme were detected between June and November at six district health boards - Auckland, Lakes, Bay of Plenty, Waitemata, Canterbury and Hutt Valley. Data from other boards was still being reviewed.
The final report includes 21 recommendations, such as a national database for quality monitoring, professional development and support for screeners, and clearer guidance on protocol.
Screeners do not need prior qualifications or experience. They need only to pass a two-week training course run by Canterbury University.
Ministry spokeswoman Marian Mortensen said it was still waiting on information from the Waikato and Hawke's Bay health boards. Until then, it would not be known if the problems were confined to the eight identified screeners.
Associate Health Minister Jo Goodhew said she expected the National Screening Unit would make implementing all of the report's recommendations a priority.
"I am confident that the recommendations of the report, once fully implemented, will strengthen service delivery and NSU oversight so that this situation is very unlikely to arise again in the future, and if it does then it will be able to be discovered and addressed very quickly."
Labour health spokeswoman Maryan Street said it was a real tragedy that the screeners at fault were not picked up earlier. The lessons the ministry should take from the report were that the screening programme needed to be adequately resourced and monitored, with staff who were trained properly and paid decent wages, she said.
More than a year after hospital staff failed to detect his daughter's hearing defect, Rawiri Blundell has learnt the "test" was a fake.
Daughter Addison's hearing was never tested at all when she was a newborn, with a Hutt Valley Hospital screener testing her own ears and faking the paperwork.
Addison, now 1, was diagnosed with congenital hearing loss late last year, a condition that should have been picked up routinely within days of her birth.
She cannot hear or speak, and the delay in diagnosis may significantly affect her development.
Revelations that Addison's test was a forgery were contained in the Ministry of Health's report into nationwide failures in the newborn hearing tests published yesterday.
Mr Blundell said the report had left him angry and struggling to understand why anyone would fake results for a newborn baby.
"The behaviour from some of the screeners was simply unacceptable. You can be overworked and underfunded, but they need to have some professional integrity."
While the Hutt Valley District Health Board had been great in helping Addison, he felt it should have told him her test was faked. "It is frustrating that they weren't 100 per cent upfront." Addison was one of 176 babies incorrectly screened at Hutt Hospital. She is the only baby caught up in the testing scandal who is known to have a hearing problem.
She is scheduled to have a state-funded cochlear implant this year, and her parents are trying to raise another $50,000 to cover the expense of a second implant. She will have years of state-funded speech therapy to bring her up to speed with other children.

According to an April 15 report from Bloomberg, Frontline Ltd. said that a plunge in supertanker rates to their lowest in at least 11 years will likely spur owners to scrap ships and cancel orders for new ones. Supertankers are making $4,335 a day after fuel costs for delivering Middle East crude to Asia and the U.S., according to data from the London-based Baltic Exchange.

Bose® RoomMatch® Loudspeakers Offer Precision and Great Sound for Immanuel Baptist Church in Duncan, Oklahoma
Bose® RoomMatch® loudspeaker systems offer AV systems designers and integrators the precision tools they need to customize sound systems for each venue
Framingham, Massachusetts, December 26, 2013 â The Immanuel Baptist Church in Duncan, Oklahoma, needed a new sound system, one that would maintain speech intelligibility throughout its 800-seat sanctuary at any volume â that would reach well into the back of the church and up into its balcony, yet not create reverberations bouncing off of the untreated sidewalls and concrete-and-carpet floor of the church or from its stained-glass sidewalls. Thatâs a tough challenge, but one easily met by a RoomMatch® loudspeaker system from Bose® Professional Systems.
FBP Systems, an AV systems designer and integrator with offices in Tulsa and Las Vegas, used just four Bose RoomMatch modules â an RM5520, RM7020, RM9020 and RM12020 loudspeaker, and a pair of RMS215 subwoofers â to create a single point-source cluster mounted above and just ahead of the pulpit that evenly covers all of the churchâs audience areas. The system was designed and modeled using Bose ControlSpace® software, which also continues to monitor and manage the entire new system.
âWhat the RoomMatch system gives us is the ability to precisely choose a combination of modules based on the exact coverage pattern we need to address,â explains Mark LaBouff, National Sales Manager for FBP Systems in Tulsa. âFor instance, at the Immanuel Baptist Church, we needed a wide dispersion pattern at the bottom to cover the main seating area, and a narrower pattern for the balcony areas. And we needed the dispersion to be as precise as possible, keeping the sound on the seats but the energy off of the walls and windows. The RoomMatch array does that, and does it predictably and brilliantly, all from a single cluster.â
LaBouff had high praise also for the ControlSpace software, which not only allowed him to create a precise and predictive coverage map of the system but also generated graphics of those coverage patterns that he says are excellent sales tools. âItâs a visual sales aid that we always put into our presentations, because the clients can immediately see what weâre talking about,â he explains. âItâs clear and itâs effective â Bose truly offers a comprehensive solution.â

We also work on state and local levels, helping them build information systems and networks in manners that will be safer and more secure as they move forward.
I would like to reinforce that while cybersecurity is a big part of what we do, many cyber-based programs cover a wide range of missions and skill sets. For example, one program we are…Read More

Rob Lowe Memoir Grazes Over Tumultuous Love Affair With Melissa Gilbert
In her 2010 tell-all memoir 'Prairie Tale,' actress Melissa Gilbert revealed she had had three nose jobs by age 20, struggled with drugs and alcohol and shocked the world with pages and pages on her tumultuous love affair with Rob Lowe, including losing his child. Laura Ingalls all grown up. Now, Rob has released his own biography and, amazingly, it contains only a handful of passing mentions of her.
The book, 'Stories I Only Tell My Friends,' hit shelves on Tuesday and is heavy on his Hollywood bromances with Charlie Sheen and Sean Penn, dining with Chris Farley and his eery connection with the 9/11 tragedy. An amazing and fun read, no doubt.
Much has been made of the fact 'Stories' only grazes over his infamous (underage) sex tape, but a close inspection shows just as little attention on his former love, Melissa, whom he dated off and on for six years and proposed to.
A search using Google Books of both tell-alls surfaces 77 mentions of "Rob" in Melissa's book, but only four "Melissa" shout-outs in 'Stories.'
She writes that she "fell instantly, hopelessly and stupidly in love" with him and later talks about the anguish of losing him.
Oddly, the most he talks about her is when he describes how when her mom was keeping her from seeing him, he began spending more time with Sheen and his brother, Emilio Estevez.
There is no mention of the length and intensity of their relationship -- which was filled with infidelities -- nor their brief engagement and tragic miscarriage.
It's a far cry from Melissa's description of losing their child in 'Prairie Tale.' After praising Rob for vowing to stand by whatever decision she made, she described waking up one day with blood on her sheets.
"Scared, I finally told my mother what was going on and she took me to my doctor. He did an ultrasound and told me that I was having a miscarriage. I went home in a daze and let nature take its course. I called Rob and told him what had happened. He seemed relieved. We made an attempt at a conversation but it was too sad."
She later writes about the tragedy, "There was nothing left for me to do afterwards but go home and face reality. I had lost the baby and my relationship with Rob. Now I was completely, totally alone, and it hurt like hell."
I've left messages for comment from reps for both Rob and Melissa, but a friend of the actress tells me she's "devastated" by the apparent slight.
"Of course Melissa has read it," a friend of the actress tells me. "She's devastated that someone who meant so much to her, someone who dominated her young life, doesn't think she was as important to him as he was to her."

Melissa needs to get over it. I think she's a little too self centered. He probably looks at her now and says "yikes!"
- Wednesday 27 AprilBy ruby
Don't bother this book is a bore! It covers non of his more news worthy facts, such as his relationships with Melissa or Princess Stephanie or the trouble between he and the Nanny,the sex tape nor anything else interesting for that matter. Guess his friends are the only ones that enjoyed these stories, hope they'll buy plenty of his books before they end up at the 99c only stores.

Jealous, Maria?
- Wednesday 27 AprilBy Crys
To be quite honest, I actually respect Rob Lowe for not digging up the "dirty laundry" on Melissa. There were things that are best left unwritten or not discussed. A lot of things written about ex-lovers can be seen as tarnishing or negative. Not writing about such things allows for a few things to be left sacred in a very public life. People know that he dated her. People know that he had scandel in the past. It just seems rather silly to dig it all up just to try to sell books.
- Wednesday 27 AprilBy Ha
Yes, but that's kind of the point of a scandalous, tell-all book now isn't it?

Without the "dirty laundry", he is just like every other Joe Schmoe on Main Street. So why would I then pay to read his "memoire"?

Melissa Who? Maybe thats why. Rob Lowe was and is A list material, whereas Melissa is who? what? and Yuk.
- Wednesday 27 AprilBy MrsKiwi
Hello? Where you even alive in the 80's? Rob Lowe is a sleaze and he always has been. The only reason his book is so boring he because he's probably legally forbidden from talking about all of his sex-drama. Melissa was as A-list as they get back in her day and Rob is just a self-centered jerk. Always was--always will be!
- Wednesday 27 AprilBy angelo
Sorry Mrs Kiwi, but Melissa was hardly A List back in the 80's, "television star" just didn't have the status that it does today, and Little House, whether you like or not, was a corny kid's show.
- Wednesday 27 AprilBy sue
The fact that you remember Rob Lowe from the 80's movies shows your age & limited range in television & movies. Melissa Gilbert had Little House, which whether you like it or not, was a huge success & is still being shown today. She also did many made for TV movies. I think that 90% of you responding negatively to her are just jealous because she dated a hunk that you could only dream about.
- Thursday 28 AprilBy Pixie
The last time Rob was A-list was in the 1980s. He's a mid-level TV actor now, can't carry a show.
Little House on the Prairie was hardly a kids' show. One of the girls went blind and her baby was killed in a fire. It was a family-type show like The Waltons. People grew up with Little House and it meant a lot to them, just like those "Brat Pack" flicks meant a lot to people who grew up in that era.
Neither one of them is A-list, or ever was, really.
It sounds like he avoided discussing his romances, maybe trying to be a gentleman.
- Wednesday 27 AprilBy BAT
I think she should be flattered he didn't mention her. It shows respect for her by not airing their dirty laundry in public.

That is exactly what I thought. Sometimes, it is the ones that You don't want to talk about who have meant the most to you, because either 1) you never really got over it, or 2) it is too painful to remember in detail because you 1) Never really got over it. Guys can be like that. He does mention her, and she should be happy about that, but he also obviously didn't want the appearance of trying to make money off of someone who he really loved. Six years is a LONG time when you are that young. It HAD to be love. Also, considering all that she wrote about him, he probably didn't want to seem redundant and he was letting what she said stand on their relationship. Either way, I have some respect for him for wanting to keep those chapters of his life to himself.

He just doesn't want the whole world to know that he failed at being an honest, loving, trustworthy man.

It's typical. Men tend not to dwell on the past. Doesn't mean it wasn't important then.

Could someone remotely hack into your printer, steal your personal information, and then set the device on fire? Yes, according to researchers who went public with a pretty startling proof of concept this morning.
As MSNBC reports, the Columbia University team, led by Professor Salvatore Stolfo, found HP's LaserJet printers can be remotely compromised through their automatic firmware update mechanism. If I understand correctly, the printers are designed to check each print job to see if it includes a firmware update. All hackers have to do is hijack that mechanism by sending a print job with a custom firmware. That can be done either locally or over the Internet, if the printer is configured to accept remote print jobs. The consequences can be dire:
In one demonstration of an attack based on the flaw, Stolfo and fellow researcher Ang Cui showed how a hijacked computer could be given instructions that would continuously heat up the printer's fuser – which is designed to dry the ink once it's applied to paper – eventually causing the paper to turn brown and smoke.
In that demonstration, a thermal switch shut the printer down – basically, causing it to self-destruct – before a fire started, but the researchers believe other printers might be used as fire starters, giving computer hackers a dangerous new tool that could allow simple computer code to wreak real-world havoc.
Attacks can be more insidious, too. MSNBC says the researchers programmed one printer to intercept incoming tax forms and send them to another machine. That machine was able to extract Social Security numbers and post them to Twitter.
Now, HP Chief Technologist Keith Moore says LaserJet printers released after 2009 require firmware updates to be digitally signed, so only older models may be vulnerable. An HP spokesperson also told Ars Technica that, even when compromised, LaserJet printers can't catch on fire. A "thermal breaker" inside the devices prevents fires and "cannot be overcome by a firmware change or this proposed vulnerability," the spokesperson claims.
Still, the pool of vulnerable printers could be considerable. HP has reportedly sold 100 million LaserJet printers since 1984; untold numbers of them may still be in use today, and many could be open to remote attack over the Internet. The researchers claim an online scan yielded a whopping 40,000 vulnerable devices. Worst of all, they say hacked firmware would be "virtually impossible to detect" unless one took out chips and tested then manually, since no antivirus software currently has the right countermeasures.
Good thing this is only a proof of concept... for now.

It wouldn't surprise me if it's a non-mecha project, considering how much of his time was devoted to FMP. Probably is experiencing burnout on the series right now.
Considering one shadow is similar to Fumoffu's Bonta-kun, it could possibly be some comedy featuring the character.

Looking at the mascot silhouettes, and considering the involvement of a new illustrator ('new' as in 'not Shikidouji'), I wonder if perhaps this new project has anything to do with the tentatively titled "Amagi Brilliant Park" that Gatoh mentioned at New Years?
At any rate, I doubt this has anything to do with the "long-awaited" project Gatoh mentioned at the same time. He said that one wouldn't be announced until 2013 at the earliest. I'm still hopeful for new anime ^^ ......Even if I have to take that hope with me to the grave, lol, I'll never lose it!
(psst - Gatoh's name is spelled wrong in the name of the article ^^)

How the Mint uses enterprise architecture
"Haycock takes the reins"
Federal enterprise architecture
For an enterprise architecture to be a fundamental part of an organization, it must be more than a product generated in the chief information officer's office. The U.S. Mint charted its own course to get support agencywide.
Enterprise architecture is not new at the Mint — officials have been trying to put various pieces of it in place since 2000. But it didn't get any traction until CIO Jerry Horton came to the agency in mid-2002, said Tan Van Luong, the Mint's chief enterprise architect.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/02/14 -- Pretium Resources Inc. (TSX:PVG)(NYSE:PVG) ("Pretivm") is pleased to announce that it has submitted the Environmental Assessment Certificate application to the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office ("BCEAO") for its high-grade gold Brucejack Project.
The 30-day screening period to ensure that the application is complete has now commenced. Once the application has been accepted, the BCEAO has a 180-day period to complete a review with the involvement of a working group including representatives of First Nations and local governments and other government agencies. The BCEAO then prepares an assessment report for a decision by the Minister of Environment and the Minister of Energy and Mines.
In coordination with the British Columbia provincial permitting process, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency will review the Environmental Impact Statement which we expect to submit this month.
The Brucejack Project has been proposed as a 2,700 tonnes-per-day underground gold mine.
Additionally, we have filed on SEDAR the National Instrument 43-101 "Feasibility Study and Technical Report Update" referenced in the news release dated June 19, 2014 highlighting the positive results of the updated feasibility study for the Brucejack Project.
The Technical Report, dated June 19, 2014, will also be available on Pretivm's web site at www.pretivm.com.
About Pretivm
Pretivm is advancing its 100%-owned Brucejack Project in northern British Columbia to production as a high-grade gold underground mine. Based on the results of the June 2014 Feasibility Study, Brucejack is expected to produce an average of 504,000 ounces of gold a year over the first 8 years and 404,000 ounces of gold a year over the 18-year mine life. Brucejack's Valley of the Kings hosts Proven and Probable reserves totalling 6.9 million ounces of gold (13.6 million tonnes grading 15.7 grams of gold per tonne). Commercial production at Brucejack is targeted for 2017.

Police detained 11 men, aged between 15 and 42, on suspicion of provocative conduct outside St Patrick's Church at Donegall Street on 12 July this year.
A further three men were also interviewed by police, after attending voluntarily.
The men were also interviewed about a breach of the Parades Commission determination which occurred during another parade in Donegall Street on 25 August.
All 14 have now been released pending reports to the Public Prosecution Service for both offences.
It comes after the Shankill-based band was filmed marching in circles and allegedly playing sectarian tunes outside the church.
The band said it was performing a Beach Boys song.
Police said the members were arrested in north Belfast over the past number of days and questioned about their actions on the Twelfth.
The incident led to the parades watchdog placing restrictions on another loyal Order parade on through the same part of the city on 25 August.
The determination was breached and this formed part of the police questioning.

Serbia's troubled relations with Kosovo will force it to wait longer to start membership talks with European Union, EU diplomats said on Tuesday.
In its annual report Wednesday on countries lining up to join the EU, the European Commission is expected to say the former Yugoslav state has not done enough to mend ties with Kosovo since becoming a membership candidate in March.
Serbia has been seen as a pariah of the Balkans, linked to its central role in the bloody wars that tore through the peninsula after the collapse of Yugoslavia.
"It will not get a recommendation yet, it's not in the cards," one EU diplomat said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Serbia lost control over Kosovo in 1999 after an 11-week NATO air war to halt the killing and expulsion of ethnic Albanians by Serb forces fighting a two-year counter-insurgency war under late strongman Slobodan Milosevic.
More than 90 countries, including the United States and 22 of the EU's 27 members, have recognised the impoverished, landlocked country as a sovereign state.
Belgrade has vowed never to do so, but is under pressure from the EU to improve cooperation with Pristina in a range of fields, ranging from trade, to state institutions and security.

SEATTLE — Markey Machinery announced that it has been awarded an order for a complete suite of winch systems onboard AGOR-27, a new academic research vessel, under construction at Dakota Creek Industries, in Anacortes, Washington.
Sponsored by the US Navy's Office of Naval Research, this award continues a plan to renew America's aging fleet of academic research vessels, including ocean ranging vessels like the US Navy's Knorr (AGOR-15).
The scope of the order is for one ship set, including two type CAST6-125 Deep Sea Research Winches with active motion compensation, a type DETW-9-11 All-Electric Traction Winch System with two storage drums, one instrumented flagging block, one ship board wire monitoring system and a type WES-23 Electric Anchor Windlass with two wild cats and two warping heads. All equipment furnished will be built by Markey at its Seattle, Washington, location utilizing its own skilled and experienced American workforce.
The type CAST6-125 is a third generation winch which can support research and explore depths with its drum capacity rated at 10,000 meters of 0.393 inch diameter electro-optical-mechanical cable. The winch features a close tolerance low mass moment of inertia drum for precise motion control of CTD/Rosette sampling instruments in sea state 5 environments. The feature eliminates unwanted ship motion, thus extending the life of cables for improved safety.
The winches use direct coupled vector-duty 125HP non-proprietary, readily available electric motors. These vector-duty motors are sourced in America and possess a substantial history of reliability in marine applications.

By George! A New Book
October 14th, 2014
My decades-old effort to keep you from wasting money on killed plants has led this week to a new resource – a book filled with the 170 top plants I'd recommend for Pennsylvania landscapes.
That's right. My first gardening book is just off the press, and it's called the "Pennsylvania Getting Started Garden Guide."
The 240-page paperback is our region's version of a nationwide series that Cool Springs Press does to help gardeners zero in on the best choices for their particular area.
(Get a discounted and autographed copy directly from George at his Buy Helpful Info page.)
Locally targeted advice is hugely important, I think, which is what attracted me to saying yes when Cool Springs' editor Billie Brownell asked me to write the Pennsylvania edition.
What works in New England or Florida or even Baltimore may not work very well in our shale, clay and erratic weather. The more local the plant selection, the better. And when you stack the odds in your favor by knowing and buying the plants most likely to be happy in your yard, you save yourself a lot of work, money and aggravation.
Philadelphia garden writer Liz Ball did the original version of what was then called the "Pennsylvania Gardener's Guide" back in 2002. She updated it in 2007 and since then has mostly retired from garden-writing.
So when Cool Springs decided it was time for another fresh look, Liz passed along my name. Isn't she nice? (Answer: Yes, and her husband, Rick Ray, is a retired Barnes Foundation Arboretum School hort instructor with an encyclopedic knowledge of anything containing chlorophyll.)
Tons of great new plants and varieties have come along these past 5 to 10 years, so not only did I get to pick my tried-and-true favorites, I could incorporate the latest-and-greatest.
The bulk of the book consists of one-page profiles of the 170 best-for-Pennsylvania plants, arranged in chapters by plant type (annuals, perennials, shrubs, trees, etc.)
The profiles include specific tips on when, where and how to plant each plant; advice on caring for them afterward; how best to use each selection in the landscape, and probably the most overlooked tidbit, which varieties are the best of the best. Knowing the highest-performing varieties is a key bit of information that separates the average gardener from the skilled plant geek.

Britain's Got Talent: Sir Bruce Forsyth renews attack on Simon Cowell over risk of 'emotional damage' on children
Thursday 30 May 2013
Sir Bruce Forsyth has criticised Simon Cowell, saying young acts on his Britain's Got Talent show face "emotional damage" from the pressure of performing.
The showbiz veteran, who has been caught up in a war of words with Cowell, said he was a fan of the show but was worried about children being put on stage when they could not cope with rejection.
Writing in the Daily Mail, he said: "I really do think he should stop putting young children under the immense and possibly damaging pressure of performing on national television, not just in front of a live audience, but also before four very sharp judges.
"You can see that many of the adult performers find the experience traumatic, so what sort of emotional damage could it be doing to children who, for the most part, are only there because of the ambition of their parents and teachers?"
Sir Bruce recalled watching a young girl sing on one of Cowell's shows a few years ago before she broke down in tears halfway through.
He said: "She was only 10 and clearly the occasion and the pressure just got to her, but I remember we were watching at home and I just turned to my wife, Winnie, and said 'This isn't right; this shouldn't be on television'."
The entertainer, who is set to return to hosting duties on Strictly Come Dancing later this year, said it was very different to when he made his stage debut as a 14-year-old because he was "bottom of the bill in a really awful show" so there was not the same pressure to succeed.
And he said the "16 years of really hard slog round the variety circuit" that followed taught him how to cope with failure.
Sir Bruce said one solution was for Cowell to have one show for adult performers and another for children with "more modest prizes" and "more positive" judging.
He said: "There are enough tears in any child's life; we certainly don't need to add to them in the name of entertainment."
