At the outset let me congratulate South Africa for organizing this debate. Estonia aligns itself with the statement by the representative of the European Union.
Estonia welcomes the increased focus that the UN is placing on the rule of law and justice through discussions here in the Security Council, in the General Assembly and through concrete activities of the United Nations system. In light of recent profound political changes in many parts of the world, and of new threats to international peace, it is even more important that the rule of law remains on the agenda of the UN.
This statement is mainly about the International Criminal Court.
The relationship between the Court and the United Nations is of crucial importance in many ways.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Court. By now the institution has an established reputation and a respected role in the international arena. Signing the Rome statute in 1998, States agreed to create a permanent International Criminal Court as the court of last resort to end impunity for the most heinous international crimes. They also agreed to assume, on a national basis, primary responsibility for bringing perpetrators of such crimes to justice. At the present, the Rome Statute has 120 States Parties. The campaign for the universality of the Statute is continuing, supported by the States Parties, regional actors and the United Nations. As these efforts towards achieving the universal ratification of the Rome Statute are continuing, the need to work on strengthening national jurisdictions to be able to prosecute Rome Statute crimes is becoming more and more acute. The Court and States Parties are carrying out important activities in support of countries in need. It is clear, however, that the ability to prosecute international crimes must become an integral part of the broader rule of law activities of all major development actors if we want to succeed. The United Nations system is well placed to take a major share of responsibility in this. Our joint efforts to provide assistance for developing national capacities to cope with Rome Statute crimes would strengthen national justice systems as a whole.
I am glad to say that there is an ongoing dialogue between the Court, the Assembly of States Parties and the United Nations development system concerning this issue.
While combating impunity, the ultimate goal is preventing the commission of crimes in the first place.
The ability of the Court to fulfill its functions also depends on the ability and resolve of States Parties and other States to offer their cooperation. There are still a number of outstanding arrest warrants. States Parties are constantly working through their Bureau and their President, to ensure full cooperation with the Court especially in the crucial area of execution of arrest warrants. The Security Council has referred two cases to the ICC and in these cases too, arrest warrants are outstanding. Recently, two findings of non-cooperation were referred to the Security Council by the Court. Continuing international focus on cooperation with the International Criminal Court and international tribunals is of utmost importance for the quest of ending impunity to be credible and successful.
The face of those suffering from atrocious international crimes is very often that of the most vulnerable, of women and children. Addressing the plight of victims through broader community programs, including education, is one of the activities the Court has undertaken. These activities, funded by voluntary contributions, target affected communities and help in healing, while making a contribution to a deeper change in the society by helping them regain their dignity and rebuild their communities. Here again, interaction with development actors in the field is of great value.
Security Council resolution 1325 and other Council resolutions on women, peace and security and on children in armed conflict should remain high on the agenda of the United Nations. We are concerned by continued reporting about mass rapes as a method of war and the very low numbers of perpetrators that have been brought to justice. The only way to remedy this situation is to ensure that all national jurisdictions are able to investigate and prosecute the worst crimes under international law. Considering that the Council has recognized that conflict-related sexual violence is a threat to international peace and security, we hope that it will remain actively engaged with the matter. It is important to maintain focus on gender equality and the empowerment of women in broader rule of law activities.
I hope that the high-level meeting on the rule of law to be held in September 2012 during the 67th session of the UN General Assembly will provide a new impetus to these discussions.
Estonia is firmly committed to the international order based on international law, including human rights law and the rule of law. Since initiating our first development cooperation project in 1998, Estonia has become an international donor and the rule of law enjoys a prominent place in our development cooperation strategy. Estonia has created a stable and fruitful basis for cooperation with many of our partner countries by sharing our recent experience of social, political and economical reforms. That is why we support and highly value the EU cooperation in the field of rule of law with its eastern neighbours in the framework of the Eastern Partnership. We are also actively involved in several EU civilian crisis management operations with the focus on the rule of law.

From DocWiki
Adding Your Categories to the Topic Map
In MediaWiki, you make your category part of a topic map by making it subcategory of that topic.
- Put the desired category in your article, using the guidelines below:
- After saving the category, go to the newly created category and make it a subcategory of Cisco Product, Software, Task, or Technology:
- Users should tag articles with all appropriate categories (Cisco Product, Software, Task, Technology). This will allow readers to access content through multiple paths.
- When tagging your content, create a subcategory under the main category. This structure allows readers to find content by main topic.
- In general, categories should be as specific as possible. However, sometimes a general category is a better choice than a specific category, depending on the content. Use your discretion.
- You don't have to categorize every page. Only main navigation pages need to be tagged.
- Categories should include more than one article.
- Do not include "Cisco" in product names for categories. This will cause all products to appear under "C", which defeats the purpose of indexing. The Cisco Products main category has "Cisco" in the name, so the subcategories underneath it are understood to be Cisco products. However, you should include "Cisco" with the appropriate product names in your articles.

Patents Create Incentives For More Patents, Not Innovation
from the the-two-are-not-the-same dept
If you want a clear example of this, just look to China. Just recently, we noted that patenting was on the rise by Chinese companies, but a closer look at what's happening in China suggests that it's very much about incentives to increase patents, rather than incentives for greater innovation. In fact, it's quite direct:
The Chinese government has created an ecosystem of incentives for its people to file patents.And, as in the US at times, the incentives for the patent examiners is also skewed towards simply approving more patents (which has a snowball effect, in encouraging more people to file weaker and weaker patents):
Professors who do so are more likely to win tenure. Workers and students who file patents are more likely to earn a hukou (residence permit) to live in a desirable city. For some patents the government pays cash bonuses; for others it covers the substantial cost of filing. Corporate income tax can be cut from 25% to 15% for firms that file many patents. They are also more likely to win lucrative government contracts. Many companies therefore offer incentives to their employees to come up with patentable ideas.
The bureaucrats in Chinese patent offices are paid more if they approve more patents, say local lawyers. That must tempt them to say yes to ideas of dubious originality.Incentives are funny things. If you actually believe that patents are correlated to innovation, then such strategies make sense. But if the reality is that patents are simply correlated to patents, then it's a huge dead weight loss to focus so much on patenting, rather than actual innovation.

Soldiers based at Fort Bliss in Texas joined a secretive group called 'Dark Horse,' which one member explained "was to support and defend the Constitution, and was designed to fight alongside the military if need be, if the government 'goes corrupt.'"
Sounds intense, but is it criminally extreme? The answer, it turns out, is no.
As first reported Monday by CAAFlog, the military law blog, the U.S. Army Court of Criminal Appeals last month confronted several related cases arising from the Dark Horse organization. Two enlisted men had been convicted of, among other charges, violating an Army order by belonging to an "extremist" organization.
Specialist Christopher L. Moyers and Pfc. David W. Oliver successfully challenged those convictions, as the Army appellate court concluded Dark Horse did not meet the definition of "extremist" as spelled out in Army regulations.
The group has had its militia-like moments, including special patches, ranks and uniforms.
But here's the bottom line, as spelled out by the court's three-member panel:
"There was no evidence introduced at trial indicating that Dark Horse advocated racial, gender, or ethnic hatred or intolerance; advocated, created, or engaged in illegal discrimination based on race, color, gender, religion, or national origin, or advocated the use of or use force or violence or unlawful means to deprive individuals of their rights under the United States Constitution or the laws of the United States, or any State,by unlawful means," the court stated.
Moyers was represented on appeal by William Cassara; Capt. Jack Einhorn was on the brief for Oliver. Oliver gets off, while Moyers' conviction on other charges remains intact.

Securing the enterprise: how Ubuntu is at the forefront of security & compliance
Nov 28 2018
39 mins
Joe McManus and Chris Huffman
Whether it is HIPAA, MiFID II, PCI or the GDPR, compliance and security regulations are a top of mind priority for businesses of any size across any geography.
Businesses expect their technology to meet certain regulatory standards, such as FIPS 140-2, DISA/STIG, Common Criteria, or to have achieved minimum requirements such as CIS Benchmarks or MSPCV.
Knowing that the technology your business has put in place can help it to be compliant is an important factor that decision makers must consider.
For Ubuntu, compliance means being able to best serve our customers. Technologies such as Landscape can ensure that there is no case for gross negligence under GDPR if you are hacked, because it will have ensured the latest patches are in place.
Ubuntu's trusted security and compliance solutions are at the forefront of solving these issues across a wide range of industries.
Join this webinar for information on…
>Compliance and security issues heading into 2019
>How Ubuntu is securing the most heavily regulated industries, such as: government, financial services & healthcare

Future-proofing Fingbox: The IoT home network monitoring device
Oct 10 2018
39 mins
Carlo Medas
Fing App is a network scanning and troubleshooting tool used by millions. Fingbox is a complementary hardware device which plugs into Wi-Fi routers to monitor, secure and troubleshoot networks and their connected devices. Fing's engineering team built Fingbox using Ubuntu Core and Snaps to speed up development time, save budget and resources and ensure a future-proofed product went to market.
Initial development speed was massively improved as Fing engineering resources could concentrate on building product features for our users and not on OS/platform development as this comes ready to go with Ubuntu Core. The ability to upgrade seamlessly within hours was fundamental during the Fingbox product launch phase and it's as important now that the product is in production.
In this webinar, you'll hear from Fing Co-Founder and Big Data Architect, Carlo Medas, on how Fingbox was built with Ubuntu Core and how Fingbox's key features including parental control, Digital Fence and Digital Presence are updated and improved ongoing using Snaps.

Why Chinese Domain Names May Fuel Disputes

County approves Shell oil well near Hayden
July 25, 2012
Steamboat Springs — The Routt County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday night to approve a drilling permit for the Dawson Creek well for Shell Oil on State Land Board property about four miles southeast of Hayden on Routt County Road 37.
County Planner Chad Phillips said the commissioners made minor modifications to the language of conditions of approval pertaining to surface water and groundwater monitoring before approving the project. The hearing, including presentations, public comment and deliberations by the commissioners, lasted just less than three hours and adjourned before 8:30 p.m.
Shell has said it has no plans to use hydraulic fracturing techniques in drilling the exploratory well. The permit application had been approved by the Planning Commission in late summer 2011 and was tabled by the county commissioners in September 2011 to allow them to write new sets of conditions of approval for oil and gas drilling here.
That process is now complete, save for conditions that would apply to air-quality monitoring.
Peter Patten, a local land planning consultant working for Shell on the project, described the well pad site as being "somewhat remote" in that the distance to the nearest structure is 3,400 feet and the distance to the nearest water well is 4,330 feet. A seasonal stream 810 feet from the well pad site is the nearest water body.

Once they take the court in their first exhibition game, the Lakers won't resemble anything near last season's star-studded team that flushed away a $100 million payroll toward a first-round playoff exit.
Dwight Howard left via free agency for the Houston Rockets. The Lakers waived Metta World Peace in a cost-cutting move. Kobe Bryant is currently in Germany undergoing a procedure on his right knee, while rehabbing his surgically repaired left Achilles tendon. Both Pau Gasol and Steve Nash will probably sit out of the Lakers' preseason opener tonight against the Golden State Warriors.
A Lakers' starting lineup featuring Steve Blake, Nick Young, Wesley Johnson, Jordan Hill and Chris Kaman should hardly leave fans in Ontario rushing toward the box office at Citizens Business Bank Arena. That venue, after all, will host the Lakers' third preseason game Tuesday against the Denver Nuggets.
But Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni wants Gasol and Nash to save their energy for the Lakers' second night of a back-to-back Sunday against Denver at Staples Center.
"He's obviously going to err on the side of being conservative," Nash said of D'Antoni. "It's early in the year and obviously, the kind of year I had last year, I was continually fighting something. So he just wants to be cautious."
Nash missed 32 games because of injuries ranging from a fractured left leg and persisting back and hamstring issues. That's why D'Antoni has also floated the possibility the 39-year-old Nash will sit in select regular-season back-to-back games.
"We're going to look at it and we'll see," D'Antoni said. "But that's definitely an option."
Gasol sat out 33 games last season for ailments including plantar fascia in his right foot, a concussion and knee tendonitis. After having a knee procedure this offseason to repair his damaged tendons, Gasol has exceeded his expected recovery time by participating in most drills that don't require heavy jumping or contact.
Would the 33-year-old Gasol sit in any regular season back-to-back games?
"That's not the plan," he said. "Hopefully, there's no restrictions going into the season."
Both Gasol and Nash have paced their way through training camp, including sitting out portions of practice when the Lakers had double sessions Sunday and Tuesday. Nash described himself as "good," but has often missed the tail end of practices out of precaution.
Injury updates
Young missed Thursday's practice because of a sprained right ankle, but he participated in Friday's session that D'Antoni said involved no contact drills.
"It's not 100 percent," Young said. "But it's good enough to go out there."
D'Antoni estimated second-round draft pick Ryan Kelly remains a week away before participating in all drills. The former Duke standout missed all of the Lakers' summer league while rehabbing from right foot surgery in April. This week, Kelly advanced to on-court running, shooting and one-on-one drills.

This week has seen the release of the second phase of Diageo's 'Manager's Choice Single Cask Collection', which is an exclusive limited range of whiskies that are being released on four different dates. The idea for the range was that each of the managers of Diageo's 27 whisky distilleries in Scotland were asked to select just one cask from their maturing stock. This cask was to represent the definitive taste of their distillery's product and character. All are released at their natural cask strength. As each manager has only selected one cask, the number of bottles of each whisky is limited. This makes each one very rare and the prices reflect this (all are in the £200-300 bracket).
There was much discussion about the first release of the 'Manager's Choice Single Cask Collection' on blogs, websites and forums, with the majority focusing on the youthful ages and high prices. Due to the very limited nature of the releases, tasting notes and other information for the first release were scarce. There seems to be a similar story for this second release, with very few tasting notes around so far (check out Cask Strength for this, they have tried a couple of them). Information regarding the third and fourth phase releases is even sketchier.
Here, we have tried to gather as much information as we can about the 'Manager's Choice' series. The information for the first release can be seen on our original post, written last September - click here to read that article. For this second phase, we have included the RRP (recommended retail price) in the UK, the predominant cask that the whisky has been matured in, the alcoholic strength (ABV), the number of bottles available, plus the distilling and bottling dates. These all appear in brackets next to each whisky. For the third and fourth releases, we have still only been able to find the RRP to date, but plan to add more information when we can.
Release 2 - 11th January 2010
Blair Athol (£200/ex-sherry cask/57.4% ABV/570 bottles/distilled 1995, bottled 2009)
Cragganmore (£250/ex-sherry cask/59.7% ABV/564 bottles/distilled 1997, bottled 2009)
Dalwhinnie (£250/ex-bourbon cask/51% ABV/ 270 bottles/distilled 1992, bottled 2009)
Dufftown (£250/ex-bourbon cask/59.5% ABV/282 bottles/distilled 1997, bottled 2009)
Glen Spey (£200/new American oak cask/52% ABV/276 bottles/distilled 1996, bottled 2009)
Strathmill (£200/new American oak cask/60.1% ABV/300 bottles/distilled 1999, bottled 2009)
Talisker (£300/ex-sherry cask/58.6% ABV/582 bottles/distilled 1994, bottled 2009)
Release 3 - 4th March 2010
Caol Ila (£300), Dailuaine (£200), Glen Ord (£250), Glenkinchie (£250), Inchgower (£200), Mannochmore (£200), Royal Lochnagar (£250)
Release 4 - 4th June 2010
Auchroisk (£200), Benrinnes (£200), Clynelish (£250), Glendullan (£200), Glenlossie (£200), Knockando (£250), Lagavulin (£300)
There is also a rumour that Diageo may release a whisky from their new Roseisle distillery as part of this series. The whisky is still maturing to reach the legal age of three years and if true, this will be the first ever bottling of a single malt whisky from Roseisle.

The Decline of Western Civilisation
This comment by Matt Helm at Captain's Quarters is one of the most profound things I have read in a long time:
In many ways, Williams is representative of the primary problem facing the West: A lack of pride in our culture because of perceived feelings of guilt over the legacy of colonialism and imperialism. This masochistic, and I would argue nihilistic sense of guilt has been promulgated by proponents of multiculturalism since the 1960s and has settled upon Western culture like a burial shroud. The sad truth is many Western intellectuals and thinkers do want to see the destruction of our culture and society. They do want to be punished for the 'sins' of Western imperialism. They do want to die at the hands of "the oppressed." The problem is, they want to take the rest of us with them! If the West is going to survive as a cultural and civilizational entity; if we want to pass on our values of freedom and liberty; if we want our children and their children to enjoy a Bach cantata, to read Voltaire, to play Mass Effect; if we want to keep who and what we are, then we are going to have to get over this guilt and accept ourselves for who and what we are. We have to accept that Western culture did do some horrible things--just like all the other cultures throughout history. So, what do we do? We learn from our mistakes and move forward--not wallow in our guilt. Contrary to what the multiculturalists would have us believe, the West is not evil--in fact, I'd contend that, warts and all, Western civilization has contributed the most benefits to the human condition than all the other cultures put together.

Ride Home 3/7: Please sir, I want some more (calvados)
Bike commuters can be so dour. The few I see always seem to be so upset, barely even suggesting a smile or any kind of enjoyment. Me, well, I make the point of painting on scary clown make-up before every ride so people I encounter know that I'm happy and/or hellbent on criminalizing Gotham City. Or, maybe instead of that, I just try not to look terribly upset, since, after all, I am rather enjoying myself and, more or less, having a good time, in spite of the fact that I must ride alongside a number of people who don't seem to be doing the same. As we all know, the greatest imposition one can ever have is sitting on a plush seat and turning dinosaur liquid into forward momentum with a mere push of your foot. It's the worst! Far be it from me to suggest that bike commuters adopt a visage that doesn't accurately reflect their interiority, but perhaps I might suggest that bicycling isn't the worst-est thing and scowling isn't entirely necessary.
There's one of those signs along Mass that measures the speed of passersby and my goal is always to exceed the speed limit and make the illuminated numbers flash, but my other goal is to get mad at the drivers that do the same. I suppose I should try to somehow rationalize these feelings in one way or another, but I elect not to do this. Speeding, as a crime, is sort of a weird thing. It's not exactly Dostoevsky material or anything and I can't get too worked up about it, but it irks me when I'm bicycling, though, I suppose, only insofar as it actually seems to actually impact me. In short, drive your car over the speed limit, but don't do it too close to me. I'll be fine with that.
Plenty of bicyclists about and I pretty much rode behind one for much of the time I headed southwestward. On Mass, it was a guy with a rear rack but no fenders and on Q it was a girl with short red hair and earrings and a voice like the voice of Lydia DePillis, whom I once heard on the radio when I was listening to Kojo Nnamdi (That's oddly specific, says me, awkwardly). The only reason I heard her voice is because she cursed out some driver in front of her who drove for a good block with his car's right tires in the middle of the bike lane and then blocked the bike lane entirely in an effort to make a right turn onto 19th from Q. I don't remember what happened to her, though I do remember getting a "come on!" look from a driver who was temporarily slowed down by another driver, the latter of which was in front of the girl with the short red hair. I think that in many instances drivers get confused about who exactly is causing them to go slowly. SPOILER ALERT: a bicyclist can't go faster than the driver in front of him/her, so just because you see a bicyclist in front of you it doesn't mean that the person on the bicycle is the one that's causing your "not going fast enough" problem.
At 16th, we had one of those situations where there were a few bicyclists stopped a red light. Me, red head, some other dude and a guy on a fixed gear Surly who rode in circles rather than just unclip his Sidi and put his foot down, but as the light turned green, some lady decided to weave her way between all four of us even though there wasn't really enough space to do so so casually and it seemed rather rude. "Rude!," I would have said, had I the gall to chastise her. It's generally not a good idea to do rude things to bicyclists, since as a class, we're very petty and might blog about it in a petty way many hours later. She turned on 15th and the red head turned at the JCC and the fixed-gear Surly guy turned at 14th and I was by my lonesome on Q until 11th, when I was again by my lonesome since I'm the only bicyclist who bikes down 11th, except for the times when others do so.
There's always another couple of bike commuters on Penn and one of them rode behind me, but I didn't look back, so I have no details to report regarding him or her. I can report that the wrongly placed sign at 4th street is now dangling upside-down, but still incorrectly placed.
Many bicyclists, but even more black SUVs, by the Capitol and even a superbiker on East Capitol. (The Capitol, from Penn, seems to be the same askance as the Budai Var is from the 2-es villamos [2 tram]. Tonight's the first night I've ever realized that). I wonder where he was heading. Maybe on his way back from Hains Point. He did the whole hand signal thing and I smiled a little when he told me, through the flick of a wrist, that he would be turning left. Thanks, superbiker. For me, it was the same route home as always, but I was granted the unique pleasure of seeing #bikeDC agitator Dave, biking to pick up his daughter from school or some kind of activity. I asked, but I didn't quite hear what he said. Anyway, DC is a pretty small town and if you ride a bike, it's even smaller. It's always nice to run into someone you actually know.
Lastly, quinoa. And, omnia gallia in tres partes divisa est. Sorry.

The driver on Q taking a right onto 19th did exactly (as you have explained it) what they should have done to take a right. Merged into the bike lane. That's the law... and the cyclists are supposed to yield behind, not going around to the right (legally you can on the left...)-@SamuelMooreReplyDeleteReplies
I believe you are correct only that the driver can move into the bike lane to make the right turn - in fact. as a cyclist I think it a good thing since a naive cyclist won't end up in a dangerous position. However, there is nothing either legal or ethical about: a "driver in front of her who drove for a good block with his car's right tires in the middle of the bike lane".Delete

You assume I read the entire post... :)Delete
I biked south on 17th, left on P and had to stop in the street and wait for a truck to do a (rather inept) U-turn. He then had the gall to turn right on 16th, knowing I was right behind him, without bothering to use a turn signal. I might or might not have had the gall to chastise him. If there's anything that gets me, it's when people are just inconsiderate.ReplyDelete

Companion 1B: Mezhgan Hussainy, an "American Idol" makeup artist to whom Cowell was engaged, until the couple split in 2011. (Don't cry for her: She received an $8 million Beverly Hills mansion as a parting gift.)
Conspicuously absent was Lauren Silverman, Cowell's baby-mama-to-be and now ex-wife of New York real estate mogul Andrew Silverman. In happier times, the couple had been fixtures on Cowell's 193-foot chartered yacht, Slipstream.
Cowell's affair and baby drama is only surprising to those who haven't been paying attention. The TV host has long been one of the world's great playboys, living a decadent life filled with luxurious vacations, expensive cars and, of course, loads of beautiful, often exotic women.
"Simon is a teenage boy, basically, when it comes to his love life," says Chas Newkey-Burden, author of "Simon Cowell: The Unauthorized Biography." "He likes certain types of women and a certain amount of contact, but no intimacy or longevity."
Like a teenage boy, Cowell, 53, seems to favor pin-ups. Jackie St. Clair, whom he spotted at a London nightclub in 1982 and went on to date, was a former Miss Nude UK.
<a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/photos_simon_cowell_history_of_hotties_P3ZJwgmYABE3OVm0dffV0O" target='_BLANK'>
Louise Payne appeared topless in The Sun newspaper and dated Cowell beginning in 1995 after they met at a music industry party. After a few weeks of frustration, the two consummated their relationship at New York's Four Seasons hotel and Cowell proposed on the spot, according to Tom Bower's "Sweet Revenge: The Intimate Life of Simon Cowell." A few weeks later, Cowell called off the engagement.
He hooked up with stripper Georgina Law in 2000, later saying she couldn't sing but that she had "talents in other areas." If that's not TMI for you, there's this: He picked up Alicia Douvall at a hotel bar in London in 2001, and she boasted they had sex 11 times on their third date.
Late last year, Cowell was seeing former "Baywatch" babe Carmen Electra — though evidently not seriously enough for her to earn a house upon breakup. "She's not my girlfriend. We're people who date," Cowell said on Ryan Seacrest's radio show.
He also had a brief fling with British "X Factor" judge Dannii Minogue. "I had a crush on her," Cowell said in "Sweet Revenge." "It was Dannii's hair, the sexy clothes, and the t - - s."
Despite his womanizing, Cowell has kept many of his exes in his life, taking the ladies to parties or on Mediterranean vacations — often a few of them together. He is rumored to rent an A house for his favorite companions and a less-extravagant B house for the second-tier.
Ex Terri Seymour, an underwear model and TV host who dated "The X Factor" judge in the mid-2000s, said in 2010 that she still speaks to him as often as "10 times a day." St. Clair planned Cowell's 50th birthday party four years ago.
You gotta wonder why the women wouldn't run the other way — besides the $300 million, that is. Especially when Cowell has admitted that he's not exactly great husband or boyfriend material.
He bores easily. He's a workaholic. He forbids his girlfriends from asking him questions after 11 p.m. He'd rather eat French fries than fine French food. He begins most mornings by watching cartoons in the bathtub. He smokes Kools. He reportedly gets semi-annual Botox treatments from a London doctor and travels with two large suitcases full of beauty creams and elixirs.
"Now I can use the mirror," Seymour famously joked after she and Cowell broke up.
So why do his exes stay in his so-called "harem"?
"There was never much real intimacy in his relationships. He struggles with intimacy," Newkey-
Burden says. "There's a possibility that these women are staying [with him], searching for what they never got. If you don't get it, then afterwards, you might hang around."
Cowell has said that the love he has for his former girlfriends is eternal. "For me, whether it's Jackie, Mezhgan, Sinitta or Terri, they will be in my life forever," he told Metro. "I genuinely love them."
He then added, "I'm aware that I can get girls because I'm on TV."
Baby or no baby, Cowell better get what he can now, because there are signs that he might have peaked.
His much-hyped follow-up to "American Idol," "The X Factor" (which his company Syco produces), is only a modest hit. Last season's finale was down 18 percent from the first season's, and inaugural winner Melanie Amaro has yet to release an album. "American Idol," too, seems to be losing steam, in part because Cowell has left the judging panel. The show has shed some 10 million viewers in two years, averaging 13.2 million.
Across the pond, Britain has slowly turned against its once-prized export. A long list of music stars have criticized Cowell and the UK's version of "The X Factor," including Elton John, Roger Daltrey and Charlotte Church, who said the show is "killing music."
Earlier this summer, "Britain's Got Talent" contestant Natalie Holt pelted the once-invincible Cowell with eggs as a protest against him having "too much power and influence in the entertainment industry."
Cowell wasn't always so powerful. After he dropped out of high school, his father secured him a mailroom job at EMI in 1976. Cowell spun the opportunity into an undistinguished career as an artists-and-repertoire man before going broke when his company collapsed, forcing him to move back in with his parents at age 33.
Cowell later called his failure a "relief." He started again, eventually landing at RCA. Cowell did not have especially deep knowledge of bands or spend every night hunting for fresh acts. When asked how he discovered new music, he once said by reading the newspapers to "see what people want."
His search for populist material led him to produce 1993's "WrestleMania: The Album" and songs for the kids TV show "Teletubbies" in 1997. At one meeting, another exec literally got down on his knees and begged Cowell to stop producing "rubbish," says Newkey-Burden.
"Cowell's talent is shamelessness, and I say that admiringly," Newkey-Burden says. "He works in the entertainment industry, where a lot of people tie themselves up in a quest for credibility. He doesn't give a damn about credibility. He wants money and power and success."
"My definition of credibility is public acceptance," Cowell told London's Sunday Times Magazine. "If I was asked, 'Would you rather have a show seen by 3 million people and considered a masterpiece, or a show seen by 30 million with people saying it's horrible reality TV?' I'll take the ratings, thank you."
His reign over TV may be winding down, but Cowell is still a force in music. One Direction continues to conquer teen pop, and Cowell's Brit girl group Little Mix is beginning to make waves in the US.
"He has just as much musical clout as he used to," says Shirley Halperin, music editor at The Hollywood Reporter. "He has everything at his fingertips you need to be one of the most powerful people in music. The question is the talent. Because he relies on the public vote to find his talent, it's a seesaw."
And what of his baby scandal? Cowell got famous, in part, for his bad-boy image, but could this be a step too far?
"At the end of the day, it probably won't hurt him," says Steven Fink, president of Lexicon Communications and author of "Crisis Communications: The Definitive Guide to Managing the Message." "It depends on how he handles it. He followed his heart and it was unfortunate, but it's not a crime."

PLEASANTVILLE, N.Y. -- Current and former Pace University student-athletes gathered for a networking event, "Career Super Panel" on Tuesday, March 11 in the VIP Room of the Goldstein Health and Fitness Center on the Pleasantville campus.
The event, sponsored by Enterprise Rent-A-Car, brought back to campus a group of distinguished alumni-athletes who specialize in the fields of business, criminal justice/public service and education.
The event began with introductions where each alumnus briefly spoke about what they do for a living, how they got to their current position and what they learned as a student-athlete while at Pace.
For the second portion of the program, student-athletes were placed in different rooms based on their career concentration. Each group engaged in open dialog and discussed topics regarding what industries look for in each hire, resume and interview tips, how to get the most out of their student-athlete status, as well as other industry specific information.
By the end of each of these sessions, Pace student-athletes gained insight on how to further develop their networking and leadership skills to become effective leaders in the future. The night concluded with a 30 minute networking session accompanied by refreshments.
Current student-athletes felt that the event was a very positive experience.
"My teammates and I learned a lot, including how to leverage experiences we have as student-athletes in the working world," said Margo Hackett, member of the women's basketball team and SACC president. "It's really encouraging to see successful people who were in our shoes once."
The "Career Super Panel" will be organized routinely throughout each semester moving forward. If you are a former student-athlete from Pace who would like to get involved in a future event contact Zach Dayton, assistant athletics director/external operations at 914- 773-3272 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Tonight we are breaking the silence," said Regino Martínez, the Jesuit priest who is head of Solidaridad Fronteriza, a human rights and immigration organization in the Dominican Republic. "Tonight, we lose the fear." On Oct. 4 he led a candlelight procession to the aptly named Massacre River on the border with Haiti in a commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Parsley Massacre. During a five day period in early October 1937, Dominican soldiers slaughtered thousands of Haitians, many of them born in the Dominican Republic, under orders from the Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo. Between 9,000 and 30,000 people died in the violence, a slaughter now largely forgotten. Haitians call it kout kouto-a, "the stabbing. "Dominicans refer to it as el corte, "the cutting." It earned the nickname Parsley Massacre because some soldiers are said to have carried parsley sprigs. When they showed the parsley, victims were told to say the word. If people could not pronounce it in the Spanish way, they were killed.

Wow...It's April 3 and no one has started a thread yet?
Everyone must be busy, busy, busy!

Hope everyone is well.

Re: JuneBirds 2010 April Chatter
Jul, you know I think March/April are the months for bad feelings, in my experience. They are always the lowest, worst months for me.
Even if you got pregnant you can still be at a healthy weight during the pregnancy. You just wouldn't end up gaining as much, if I can recall my Hypnobabies nutritional info correctly.
I've been a big ball of pity the past few days (check out my accidental post yesterday in the March thread). I'm angry, resentful, lacking any sort of feel-goodness about myself and disappointed that I didn't do as well on an assignment as I was expecting. The assignment was good. This prof just doesn't like either me, or my writing style.

Re: JuneBirds 2010 April Chatter
I concur that march/april and just downer months.
Dh is working 6 days a week midnight to noon, sleeping all day, we never see him, the kids are turning into the children of satan and I'm going absolutely bonkers. They are CONSTANTLY screaming or crying and I just can't stand it anymore. I'm TIRED of being dirt poor, I'm TIRED of being just a housewife (WHICH I TOTALLY SUCK AT) and I"m TIRED of meaning absolutely nothing to anyone. DH is trying so hard, but what can he do when he is gone 14 - 16 hours a day because of work?
Jul I didn't gain anything with Henna until the last little bit and that was only like 8 lbs - so you could be pregnant and still get in shape
I'll BBL the screaming is getting to a deafening level.

Re: JuneBirds 2010 April Chatter
gosh mer, I could have written your post! I don't have the best self esteem on a good day and now that Hana is losing weight (which is AWESOME) I am feeling down bc before he ate so much crap that the amount of junk I ate looked "normal". Now he is not touching really any of the junk, so I am feeling guilty. PLUS <rant> he works out every day (or at least 6 days a week). He makes the time for it...oh yeah, bc he's not the mom! I don't deny him that bc he needs to lose about 100 lbs to my 60 or so, but i still feel resentful at times which makes me more of a bish. he's working for my dad about 6 hrs a day then comes home, eats, showers then puts in 4-5 hrs at target. so i get overwhelmed but he can't do anything abt it. i just wish he cld work 1 job and we had the boys FT.
jess, i did read ur post in the other thread
as for me getting pg, I know. i didn't gain a lot with K, but I haven't lost in months. I just have fallen into the old habits of eating junk bc I am STARVING all the time and tired bc I don't sleep, so I drink too much cherry coke for the sugar high.
<I actually came back in here to delete my pitiful post > gotta go, he is being a bit needy

Re: JuneBirds 2010 April Chatter
I thought about our April thread needing to be started, just didn't get a chance to get on!
from last thread...
I think we still have hyland's here?
:yum: about the farm eggs, too!! Love fresh farm eggs!!
The fair was all right. Not as many things out to walk around and look at as there usually is - the economy being bad maybe - but the kids had fun, Levi loved the animals, and they got to see the 'superdogs'. I was feeling really horrid so Levi was in the stroller while we walked around, in my arms to see and pet some animals, and then I used Tamara's BH for the evening show when DH took everything out to the van.
Still the BH, btw. I'm waiting on our tax return to come and then I'm going to (finally!) pick one out and get my own... and send poor Tamara's back to her!
Levi has tried climbing the stairs a few times. He got up one or 2 in the basement and then fell down to the floor when he tried to climb back. He knows now that he will fall and so just yells when he gets up and wants down, lol. One time he made it all the way up the flight of stairs - I was right beside him for the most part, just in case, but I figured I might as well let him go.
From this one!
AFM: We have been so darn busy! Yeesh, I can't wait for school to be back in and everyone to have to go! We just had something to do every day for the whole break. Ah well. Yesterday was a total bust. We took Ruth to her bday party, that was fine. But when we got to town, all ready for taxes, they said (while laughing ) they were about 2hrs behind and would call us as soon as they were ready for our appt. It was supposed to be at 5:30. They called us at 7:10... when we were all ready on the way home because we had to pick her up.
DH and I ended up figuring it out and doing it ourselves online (which ended up saving us $100!). But I will be writing a complaint letter to them about it. They were so flippant about it, like it was no big deal for us to sit around and wait 2hrs past an appt time with 3 little kids - never mind that Ruthie wasn't even there.
Oh yeah, and there was a big snowstorm/blizzard last night and all morning. It's still right around freezing though, so the roads are starting to melt/clear now. I have no idea what's going to happen tomorrow for school - although DH has all ready called a sub for himself because our driveway has a few feet of snow it in that he'll have to clear out before we can get out! Oy!
Hopefully that's it for... spring?!

Re: JuneBirds 2010 April Chatter
Yikes Elena! It's going to be 80 here tomorrow and then 58 the rest of the week, I think. tonight we had a bit of a thunderstorm, mostly lightning, very little rain.
I would totally complain about the tax people! 2 hrs is too long for ME, much less the ittys! We did ours online with the IRS (taxact) and they find us money they owe us that hana wouldn't have thought of so
Funny, it seems like spring break should be the less hectic time, not the time when you need them back in school so it slows down, lol. My kids don't have spring break til the week of Good Friday. I am planning on decorating eggs with them and the babe and doing a lot of hiking.
Ok, I am over the whining about my fat a.., lol.
I have to tell you all something Kailani did that we are still laughing about. The other day, in bed, I was shirtless as usual and to be funny, Hana pretended to nurse. Kailani was PISSED! he wasn't even trying to nurse but as soon as he saw Hana coming for me, he would put his head in between my chest and hana's head! Every time! And then the next day, K and I were wrestling on the carpet and hana crawled over to play fight and he was pretending to fight me (we were giggling and stuff the way we "fight" with Kailani, so it was nothing for him to be concerned about) and Kailani immediately put himself between us, headbutting him and using his hand to push him away. It made Hana very happy to see little man protecting his mama (even from him, lol).
well, the boys have off tomorrow for teacher workday, and I am hoping this storm sticks around so that hana has off....but if not, the boys and I will go on a hike, do some of our Easter devotion book and a few other things that I have totally blanked on now, oops.

Re: JuneBirds 2010 April Chatter
Elena - I would of pitched an ever loving fit about them running 2 hours behind! So glad you got them done though. We haven't gotten Henna's birth certificate yet so we have no SSN for her so I'm not sure how we are going to deal with our taxes.
I'm not too bummed about DH being so busy, it's the sleeping that is annoying. Not that I don't think he should sleep but it's hard to explain to a toddler and a 10 month old that even though daddy's in the next room they can't see him EVER. It makes home life difficult and the fact that our house is about 800 sq ft doesn't leave a lot of room for him to find a spot out of the way.
My visit with my mom was pretty good - she had a couple breakdowns, she's always on me that the house isn't clean in the pictures - laundry is folded but not put away toys are laying on the floor yadda yadda...yeah her tune has changed. I have ONE closest that is 3 feet wide by 1 foot deep - that's it. She cried because I have no space to put anything, and because the housing here is so damn small, and that Brian wants to be around but can't and how the kids are just so good but take up so much time...basically everything that is my reality no one believed...and then she came and lived it. She also visited some of my friends houses, no one has closets here so everything is "put away" in tubs or boxes and stacked. Oiy life in Britain. My dad and sister come next week - I get along with my mom alright (minus the I suck at housewife thing that drives her crazy) but my dad and I do not do well - so we will see what happens.
AFH: She can say mama really well, and babas when she actually see's DH. She's starting to get a bit of a tude, when she realizes that I know what she wants but won't give it to her she pitches a bit of a fit...for instance those itty bitty popsicles, I give her one now and then to help with her teeth and she loves them and always goes to the freezer for another and I just tell her no and she starts screaming. She also is starting to be a bit pushy with her sister - for instance if she has a toy and Zaylee tries to take it Henna will in fact attack her and try to bite her....I'm at a total loss with her somedays. Zaylee has also taught Henna how to scream and Zaylee with scream then Henna will scream louder and then Zaylee with scream louder and then Henna and so on and so forth....Lord beer me strength.

Re: JuneBirds 2010 April Chatter
I am definitely going to write and complain - I just need to get past being really angry so that I don't say things too rash/harsh. It was with H&R Block, and we ended up doing them online through their own website, so we still ended up "using" them. I'm not against them as a whole, and I actually really like the guy we should have gotten in to see, but just the way they were running things at that office was not okay.
We had one problem with them a few years ago, too. We couldn't get in to see our guy (he's done our taxes ever since we moved here, so now we've missed him twice) and had gotten a quick appt with another lady - she was horrid, complaining to us about the other people working in that office, calling the secretary very rude names, and to top it off she actually missed over $300 of refund for us! (after we complained they had our guy look over the return and he found the missed $$)
Anyways, they handled our complaint well - they actually called and spoke to me, apologized for her behaviour and said she had been spoken to and reprimanded, gave us a refund for the fees we'd paid and sent us coupons for a free tax return the next year. So, I want to complain about this as well - like I said, being behind sucks, but it should have all been handled differently and certainly they shouldn't have been laughing about it. It was not a funny situation for us - we'd planned things specifically so that we could get everything (receipts and all) to get taxes done during DHs break, never mind planning a trip to town specifically for this appt which means gas $$ and a meal for all of us - and then not to get it done at all?!! Yeah, definitely not funny!
I was hoping for a real break for spring break, but ah well. Just ended up being really busy for us this year. Most years we do nothing all week and just have the fair on the Friday.
We won't have a really "down" easter either - my parents are flying in on the Wednesday before (20th) I can't wait to see them, and it'll be the first time they'll meet Levi! DH and I know, so we can get things ready around the house, but the kids have no idea. On Easter Sunday we'll do all the egg hunt and whatnot, probably go to church and lunch, then the kids and I are going to go to the city with my parents - they fly out Monday morning early, but we'll get to stay and play (swim) at the hotel with them and then I'll make my way home on Monday with the kids. We normally don't have the Monday off, but they planned 2 inservice days for Mon and Tues!
Loving that story!!! Too funny!!!!
I'm so glad to hear that things went well with your mom's visit! I've been wondering how it all worked out. Good luck with your dad - hopefully he'll be so busy lovin on the girls there won't be time for any discord?
Levi's still saying "mum-mum" for me, I'm glad to hear he's not the only "babas" for dada! None of our other kids said it, they all just did "dada".
And I so kwym about pitching a fit! Levi's got quite the temper when he gets angry... which is really any time he doesn't get exactly what he wants when he wants it, lol.
AFM: The guy is here clearing the driveway right now -
Although DH had to use a sick day for today I'm glad he did. We didn't get any time to get groceries last week, so we'll be able to go in tonight (Isaac and Ruth have dance anyways) for that. One of us will do dance, the other will go for groceries. Should work out.

I love the way the 49ers play football. They line up on both sides of the ball and dare you to hold up physically. They try to blow the face off their opponent through old fashioned, kick your face in football. And I love that.
And I respect Jim Harbaugh and think he is a great coach. But there is a bad moon risin' over the Bay and, without being an alarmist, I don't see how they get into the postseason in 2014.
The schism between GM, Trent Baalke, and Jim Harbaugh is real and has been festering. The 49ers explored trading their coach to the Cleveland Browns, a coach that has been to three-straight NFC Championships Games! Then there was the report by Jay Glazier that Harbaugh is wearing on his players in the 49ers locker room. The de facto king/leader/gatekeeper of San Francisco's locker room, NaVorro Bowman, will be lost for much of the 2014 season. Colin Kaepernick is being investigated. Now, we learn of Aldon Smith getting arrested at LAX.
Remember how the Saints played after Bountygate? I didn't think they would get into the playoffs after all the suspensions and the loss of their head coach…and they didn't. I believed at the time if Drew Brees and company got into the postseason it would be one of the greatest team accomplishments I had ever witnessed.
I feel the same way about the 49ers in 2014. Although I do not say it with the degree of certainty I did after Bountygate, if the 49ers get into to the playoffs this season it will be pure testament to the great football players they have on their roster.
And that roster was built by Trent Baalke. We'll call it Baalkegate.

2 Broke Girls comes back tonight, and I'm so excited--because, cupcakes and sex jokes aside, what I love about that show is that Beth Behrs and Kat Dennings play the most lovable BFF duo currently on television.
And while I love a good clique--the SATC girls strutting down the street, the Friends ladies staking out Central Perk or the Golden Girls rocking a full range of pastels--sometimes it just takes two. Such as: these winning duos, whose every spat, scrape and scheme taught all of us tons about our own female friendships.
Mary and Rhoda, The Mary Tyler Moore Show
Every modern girl needs a like-minded sidekick going of course we can do this.
Liz and Jenna, 30 Rock
A good friend will ground you on your way up in the world--and remind you that when you feel like dirt, a little delusional confidence never hurts.
Jess and Cece, New Girl
Childhood friendships are even better when you grow up to be totally different from each other.
Laverne and Shirley, Laverne and Shirley
A real friend tells you that every guy who dumps you is awful and that every monogrammed shirt you own is awesome.
Leslie and Ann, Parks and Recreation
Be patient with your crackpot friends--they're often your most loyal allies.
Snooki and JWoww, Jersey Shore/Snooki & JWoww
Your best friend lets you be your best, craziest, realest self.
Edina and Patsy, Absolutely Fabulous
One hot mess deserves another hot mess--and teaming up means you'll double the number of good times you actually remember. (So 40 percent, instead of 20.)
Hannah and Marnie, GIRLS
