Anti-Semitism in Turkey has increased over the past decade partly because of
government policies and rhetoric by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and
other leaders, said Efrat Aviv at an international conference on Wednesday at
Bar-Ilan University titled "Turkey – Where to?" The conference was organized by
The Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, with the assistance of Aviv, a
researcher at BESA and a lecturer in the department of Middle East studies at
Bar-Ilan.A poll she conducted under the auspices of the Vidal Sassoon
International Center for the Study of Antisemitism showed that Erdogan's
rhetoric resulted in higher anti- Semitism in the country.Aviv described
how Jews in Turkey live on edge, particularly because of the upsurge in tensions
with Israel under the current Justice and Development Party (AKP)
government.In public Turkish Jews tend not even to use the word
"Israel," she said, instead referring to "the state."Since the AKP came
to power by winning elections in 2002, it has slowly Islamized society and
become more authoritative, which were some of the reasons behind the protests by
mainly liberal Turks over the past couple of months in Taksim
Square.Aviv also noted that the Turkish press and government officials
have been demonizing Jews and involving them in various conspiracy theories. One
of the most recent examples was when Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Besir Atalay
linked the protests to the "Jewish Diaspora."Most anti-Semitism in
Turkey comes from the radical Right, radical Muslims, or the far Left, according
to Aviv.When a Jew became Turkey's representative at the Eurovision song
contest, "some journalists were surprised and it caused a stir in Turkey about
whether a Jew can represent Turkey.Aviv, who gave a balanced picture of the situation, also noted that there were some intellectuals calling for zero tolerance on the issue. Another interesting point was that the Jewish immigration rate to Israel from Turkey has not risen during AKP rule. Prof. Efraim Inbar, director of BESA,
said that Israel-bashing is a tool the regime uses to gain "popularity in the
Muslim world."Israel's apology to Turkey over the Mavi Marmara incident
was an attempt by Israel to improve relations, but "of course the apology did
not meet all the demands of Turkey – it did not work," he said."Like the
rest of the Arab world, they [Turkey] smelled the weakness of Obama," so they
were not going to listen to him and apologize quickly to Israel. In fact,
"Erdogan slapped Obama in public by telling him, while standing next to him,
that he would go to Gaza.""I am a realpolitik kind of guy," said Inbar,
adding that showing weakness in this region is not wise.Inbar went on to
state that he said all along that it was a mistake to apologize, and a new BESA
poll found that 71 percent of the Israeli public agrees that Israel should not
have apologized."Israelis have common sense that doesn't exist in some
ministries in Jerusalem," he quipped.Inbar predicted that Turkey- Israel
relations would continue to be poor, and that the idea that Israel would
cooperate with Turkey by building a pipeline through the country to export its
gas to Europe "is a pipe dream, and it does not make any strategic sense to
strengthen Turkey at this stage."Harold Rhode, a senior fellow at the
New-York-based Gatestone Institute and a former adviser at the Pentagon, said
that the real issue is that "Islam is provoking the West" and not vice
versa.The US ignored Japan during World War II and then suddenly was
attacked at Pearl Harbor, leading to an instant and dramatic change in US public
opinion toward the war. Similarly, said Rhode, something could happen that
"would fill the West with enormous rage."Of course, there are moderate
voices in the Islamic world, but these people fear expressing themselves, he
said.Rhode said that his many years of experience in the Pentagon and
traveling throughout the Islamic world showed him that the Western concept of compromise
is foreign to the Middle East, as it is a Western conception.In the
Islamic world, it is shameful to compromise, he asserted.Taner Aydin,
the bureau chief in Israel of the Anadolu Agency, the official government news
agency in Turkey, tried to put a positive spin on AKP rule, stating that the
party brought economic stability to the country, successfully getting through
the worldwide economic crisis.He defended the government's crackdown on
protesters, stating that "no democracy would allow that."In Israel, he
said, "when Palestinians throw stones, the police act. The same is true in
Turkey."On the jailing of journalists, he claimed that "no one in Turkey
is in jail because of their writing against the government."Those who
have been arrested were involved with the terrorist PKK organization, he
said.He countered the notion that the country was being Islamized, stating that the
new alcohol restrictions did not ban the substance but simply limited its sale
after certain hours, which is similar, he emphasized, to the laws of other
European countries which limit the sale of alcohol to certain times of
day.Metin Heper, a Turkish professor from Bilkent University in Ankara,
stated that it is difficult to make judgments about Turkish anti-Semitism
without seeing concrete data.He noted that the periphery came to the
center and now plays an important role in Turkish politics.Responding to
a comment that Turkey is in a mess, he responded that this was an exaggeration.

Breasts, buttocks banned by CBS from Grammys
CBS is asking stars not to bare too much skin at the Grammy Awards on Sunday.
The Associated Press
CBS is asking stars not to bare too much skin at the Grammy Awards on Sunday.
The network requests that "buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered" for the televised award show. The memo sent out Wednesday also warned against "see-through clothing," exposure of "the genital region" and said that "thong type costumes are problematic."
Representatives for CBS and the Recording Academy declined to comment on Thursday. Deadline Hollywood first reported the memo.
CBS broadcast the infamous 2004 Super Bowl halftime show that included Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction." The network was initially fined by the Federal Communications Commission, though the fine was later overturned.
The 55th annual Grammy Awards will be held Sunday at 8 p.m. EST at Los Angles' Staples Center.

Wonderful! Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for the wonderfully designed template. I know it takes alot of work for amazingness. I'm currently editing this template for a nonprofit and they totally love what they've seen so far. Though, I'm having trouble working the prettyphoto lightbox plugin, the calendar plugin, editing the modal near the bottom. I'm trying to add prettyPhoto plugin to a newly created section, looks just like Modals section, and the lightbox is not appearing. I can't seem to figure how to add any events on the Calendar plugin and I'm trying to edit the #become a volunteer modal by adding alot more fields, but the formatting keeps coming out wonky. It would be awesome if you could help me out on these items. Thanks.
Hi there—email me at email@example.com with screenshots of your specific issues.
I just sent it! Thanks again!

U.S. Treasuries fell significantly this week, sending the 10-year note yields to the highest level in almost two years. This comes after the stronger-than-forecast employment report fueled speculation that the American economy is growing fast enough for the Fed to begin tapering its asset purchases as early as September. On Friday, treasuries had the biggest intraday losses since August 2011 as the Labor Department's non-farm payroll (NFP) report shows the economy added 195,000 jobs in June. This beat analysts' forecast of 165,000 jobs. Moreover, the Labor Department's revisions to the prior two months' NFP reports added a total of 70,000 jobs to the employment count in April and May.

Q+A- What is the European Union's enlargement policy?
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Commission publishes on Tuesday its annual progress reports on countries aspiring to join the European Union.
About a dozen states in Europe hope to become members of the wealthy 27-state bloc in the coming decades, but their success depends on extensive democratic and market reforms and on the EU's ability to shake off reluctance to grow.
Since admitting 12 mostly eastern European countries in the last decade, the EU has taken a slower approach to enlargement, shifting its focus to institutional reforms and efforts to solve its economic problems.
Below is an explanation of the bloc's enlargement policy and issues affecting its implementation.
Any country in Europe that respects the principles of the rule of law, liberty, democracy, human rights and fundamental freedoms may apply to become a member.
There are four official candidates: Croatia, Iceland, Macedonia and Turkey. Albania, Montenegro and Serbia have also applied, but have yet to earn candidate status. Also hoping to join are Bosnia and Kosovo.
The EU also has a "neighbourhood policy" aimed at forging closer ties with other countries in eastern Europe such as Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova and in the Caucasus. In contrast to the western Balkans, these countries have never been explicitly promised membership.
Once countries gain candidate status, they hold negotiations with the bloc on more than 30 policy areas, known as "chapters" in a process designed to align their legislation with EU rules.
The EU's executive, the European Commission, is pushing to keep the enlargement process on track in hopes of overcoming the "enlargement fatigue" that has set in the bloc.
It argues new members can strengthen the bloc in a number of ways, from ensuring economic competitiveness to bolstering the EU's clout on the world stage.
Growing eastward, it says, allows the EU to develop better transport corridors for trade, have more impact over climate change because EU rules force newcomers to clean up dirty industries, and better control over energy routes.
The membership of Turkey could give the bloc more influence over the Middle East and the energy-rich Caucasus, the Commission argues.
Closer ties with western Balkans are important for the bloc's security, the Commission says, because they ensure better control over major drug routes from Asia to Europe. Bringing in former Yugoslav states also could allow the bloc to curb illicit trafficking in arms and people.
Economically, new members mean more trade and younger populations, vital to ensuring long-term competitiveness. Turkey's economy in particular has been growing at a much faster rate than those within the EU.
According to Commission data, trade between "old" and "new" members has tripled from around 150 billion euros ($209 billion) to nearly half a trillion euros in the decade up to 2008.
The enlargement policy has several strong supporters among EU governments, notably Britain, Sweden and the new members in eastern Europe. But many states want to take the process slowly.
France, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands have expressed concerns over the cost of allowing in new members at a time when the bloc is still struggling to rise from recession and arguing over how to fund future financial crises like the one that hit Greece this year.
In addition to budget costs, there are also worries about selling the idea of enlargement to a European public concerned about job losses and competition for employment from lower-paid eastern neighbours.
France and Germany, in particular, are concerned about bringing Turkey into the fold. If admitted, Turkey would be the second-largest EU state in terms of population and would have substantial voting power in the bloc.
Turkey would be the first mainly-Muslim member of an otherwise Christian bloc, in which some political parties have tapped into public concern about the assimilation of Muslim migrants. The Commission and most mainstream European parties say religion should play no part in evaluating Turkey's bid.
Turkey's bid also would require it to resolve a territorial dispute with EU member Cyprus.

Sderot's Hagit Yaso Captures Top Prize in "Israeli Idol"
21-year-old Ethiopian-Israeli's rise to fame has a Canadian connection.
By: Daniel Horowitz
As with all new olim, starting new lives in Israel, while exciting, comes with its share of challenges.
For 21-year-old Hagit Yaso, whose parents left their native Ethiopia in the early 90's for a brighter future in the Jewish state, growing up in Sderot has not always been the idyllic backdrop one might associate with a talented artist. For more than 10 years and counting, the beleaguered residents of Sderot have been bombarded with almost daily – and unprovoked - Kassam rocket attacks, making relaxation and a sense of safety, rare commodities.
Fortunately for Hagit, her parents decided to make that trek to Israel those 30 years ago, because if it was designed to give their future children a better shot in life, it was an investment that has already paid significant dividends.
Fast forward to Saturday, July 23, 2011. The beautiful and mellifluous Hagit, standing on a beach in Haifa, surrounded by other stars in the Israeli night sky, her incredible voice drowning out any memory of those Kassams or sirens, singing her way to victory in this year's Israeli version of American Idol, "A Star is Born".
When the music stopped, this assistant daycare provider in a kibbutz near her humble home in Sderot instantly became an Israeli Cinderella story; and, more importantly, an inspiration to thousands of olim, just like her.
And, there's an unlikely Canadian connection to this songbird's success.
It turns out, representatives of United Israel Appeal Federations of Canada (UIAC) met Hagit over four years ago when she was part of the Sderot youth troop. It was during Hagit's visit to UIAC's Israel Emergency Campaign intervention project in Sderot where they watched the troop's rehearsal, and noticed one talented young singer in particular, Hagit. So taken with the then 17-year-old's talent and potential, and as part of UIAC's visionary strategy to help the youth of Sderot reach their that potential, they awarded her with a scholarship to the Music School at the Community Center, which allowed her to receive voice lessons.
And that, as they say, was the start of a beautiful friendship.
Hagit soon travelled with the Sderot youth troop to the Great White North – Toronto and Montreal – to be exact, where they performed – and delighted - Jewish audiences.
It was soon after that visit that UIA Canada held its 40th anniversary, which coincided with Israel's 60th anniversary celebrations. As part of the joint celebrations, UIAC chose Hagit to perform a moving tribute to then Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
A star is born, indeed, and judging by Hagit's talent and poise, I have a feeling that this new star will burn brightly for a long, long time.
See for yourself, and watch one of Hagit's winning performances of the season:

Obituary: T. Dan Smith
Wednesday 28 July 1993
YOU COULD not meet a more engaging character than T. Dan Smith in the years before he went to jail. There was a time, back in the early Sixties, when covering the proceedings of the Newcastle City Council could be a lot more entertaining than a visit to the nearby Theatre Royal, and it was all down to Dan Smith, the extraordinary leader of the Labour group.
He twinkled, he made jokes, he broke stories, indeed he did everything to make the lives of young cub reporters - of which I was one - more felicitous. And he was so smart. This was something that everybody - even the Tories - recognised. Indeed, Smith had few personal critics in those days. It was as if everybody recognised that they had a man who was going places and that his city, and indeed the whole of the north-east, was going with him.
In a region that had been depressed for so long, Smith's mixture of high, wide and handsome plans and low, sometimes earthy witticisms was the tonic that most felt was needed. He called Newcastle 'the Athens of the north-east' and that went down a treat, even though some felt his penchant for tower-block development was less than classically correct. When there was talk of his becoming a cabinet minister in the Labour government it was regarded as an occasion for mourning. It was felt that he was too big a man, and too much of the people, to become yet another political pygmy in Westminster.
Smith was born in 1915, a Durham miner's son, and left school at the age of 14. His early political leanings were to the extreme Left. He was a conscientious objector during the Second World War, joined the Independent Labour Party and the Trotskyist Revolutionary Communist Party, and was expelled from both. He later joined the Labour Party and rose with great speed, becoming a city councillor in Newcastle in 1950.
Smith had begun his working life as a painter and decorator, an experience that came in useful when, as head of the powerful Northern Economic Planning Council, he had the task of refurbishing Northumberland and Durham. He made a fair stab at it too, before he disappointed a region's hopes by getting too greedy.
His reputation only just survived the Sixties. On Jaunary 1970 detectives knocked at the door of his house in Newcastle and he was arrested. Sydney Sporle, a Wandsworth councillor, was accused of taking bribes, and Smith was one of those charged with giving them. Smith got off, but Sporle went to jail. Then in 1972 the well-known Yorkshire architect John Poulson went bankrupt. Examination of his books revealed a web of unexplained payments. As the hearings rolled on, many Establishment names became involved. Reginald Maudling, the Conservative MP, who had formerly been chairman of two of Poulson's companies, resigned as Home Secretary. There were reports of conflicts of interest among councillors nationwide, but particularly in the north-east.
The man they called 'Mr Newcastle' was jailed for six years in 1974 on charges of corruption, after admitting conspiracy to swing cut-price deals for Poulson. It was claimed at his trial that he received pounds 156,000 over seven years from Poulson, usually in the form of payment to public relations companies. Smith served three years of his sentence but always denied lining his own pocket. He explained his guilty plea as being the result of stress suffered during the four years it took for the case to come to trial. He would say: 'I was a broken man living on Valium and Carlsberg Special.'
Prison, if anything, restored something of his bounce. On the day he walked free from Leyhill open prison in Gloucestershire he took part in a radio phone-in programme, and he became assiduous in the cause of penal reform. He would, on a modest salary of pounds 2,500 from the Howard League, induce big names from industry and broadcasting to go into jails and try to persuade old lags to go straight. He was campaigning again.
But he was clearly a man still tortured by the circumstances that had brought him down. And he had much time to reflect on them in his 14th- floor tower-block flat in Cruddas Park, Newcastle, built as part of his crusade against back-to-back hovels. But he would never give up a fighting way of talking.
In one of his last interviews he said he filled his days giving public talks, fighting for pensioners' rights, penning a political history and playing classical records. 'I would never think of retiring,' he said, 'I would drop dead first, preferably while I'm speaking.'
In 1982 he started research work with Amber Films, an independent production company based in Newcastle, to make the drama-documentary T. Dan Smith, in which he played himself. The film, which examined the background to the Poulson affair, had a cinema release in 1987, and was broadcast on Channel 4 the following year.
His final public performance was on BBC Radio Newcastle's Sunday morning Talkback show nine days before he died, when it was said that he showed 'his old verve and fire', but not to those of us who can remember the T. Dan Smith from before the fall. Now that old, untainted Smith was really something to listen to.

Nike Women's Blazer Mid Premium Leather – Patent Leather Snake by Darren Griffin 0 Comments
September 11, 2013 BY John Kim / 0
The Nike Blazer is a model that came around well before Tinker Hatfield ever came up with the elephant print concept for the Air Jordan III. Closing the gap between the models is this upcoming release, a Nike Blazer Mid that's sort of all over the map. It's got 70s Blazer silhouette, the iconic 80s print just mentioned, and a color choice most associated with Nike's post millennial moves in the volt.

Thursday 27th November 2014.
I was working all day on Hayling Island, however, within my extra-long lunch hour, I took a stroll around Hayling Oysterbeds. It was a grey day, with the occasional burst of sunshine beaming across a high tide within Langstone Harbour. Almost immediately, on drawing up within the car park, I noticed the waders jostling for space in large flocks, as the tide was near its highest. There was hardly a ripple on the water as I made my way up to the reserve; armed with scope, binoculars and camera, I noticed a group of birders in the distance, containing a dozen souls overlooking the 'Beds'.
A pair of Rock Pipits was searching the shingle tideline to my left as I made my way up to the 'Beds', and a large gathering of mumbling Brent Geese were grazing on the last stretch of mudflat untouched by the upcoming tide. Behind these, Dunlin, Grey Plover, Ringed Plover and Curlew were pouring in onto the spit and provided a superb spectacle as I neared the area to view the harbour.
On the 'Beds' itself, up to five Red-breasted Mergansers swam, including two smart looking drakes. Nearby, three Little Grebes swam together, while on the shoreline, several flocks of Redshank were settling down to rest along with some Oystercatchers. From the viewpoint overlooking the harbour, a count of at least 50+ Great Crested Grebes was obtained, although there were probably even more around. Another raft of at least 20 Mergansers were also seen with others dotted around the harbour between the Oysterbeds and the RSPB islands.
While checking out the waders on the spit, a pair of Sandwich Terns passed by at speed and, unfortunately, all my photos of the two birds came out blurred! A Harbour Seal had its head out of the water, but remained distant within the harbour. I couldn't find any Goldeneye or the Black-necked Grebes, which was disappointing, but at least the waders present entertained as they flew past in tight flocks; with Dunlin easily being the most numerous.
The walk back south along the Hayling Billy Line was rather quiet with only a pair of Goldcrests seen deep within the hedgerow, being noteworthy. There was still a few flowering plants by the Oysterbeds including White Dead Nettle, Smooth Sow Thistle and Annual Mercury. Not a great deal reported in Hampshire today, though a Black Redstart was found in Old Portmouth this morning. The drake Ferruginous Duck was still on Kingfisher Lake on the Blashford Lakes complex though there was no sign again of the adult Franklin's Gull this evening.
I have put the moth box out tonight, seeing it is going to be a very mild night and hopefully, not too much rain. Last chance saloon really as it will probably be put away for the winter tonight. Then I shall send my moth records for the year to Hants Moths. Unless I tomorrow, I had got 121 species of macro for the year, which is 13 more species than last year and the highest total for the garden.

Dell still on a
Quest quest for software?
It looks like someone – very likely Dell, if all the rumors are right – still wants to get its greedy mitts on the software bits being sold by Quest Software, a company that has collected a hodge-podge of tools aimed at data centers over the past decade, and that in March received a $2bn takeover offer from private equity firm …
This topic is closed for new posts.
You should stick to IT, you can't read a balance sheet. When you include Dell's liquid investments ie treasuries etc which can be liquidated within one day's notice then Dell actually has about $5bn of net cash and accumulates it at the rate of about $2bn per quarter. They just paid up for the recent acquisitions. Quest would cost them about 1 quarter's free cash flow....

NFL Could Contribute $150M For Dolphins' Sun Life Stadium Renovations
Published April 10, 2013
GAINING FAVOR: In Miami, Toluse Olorunnipa reports lawmakers in the Tallahassee "have to change state law before the deal can proceed." The "biggest divide is not between the Dolphins and their potential governmental benefactors," rather it is between the "Florida House and Senate, which have two very different blueprints for how the tax break should be structured." The Senate "wants the state's sports teams to compete each year for a pot of tax dollars, with the money going only to those who can prove the money will boost economic development." The House plan "more closely mirrors the Dolphins' original proposal" -- up to $90M in "guaranteed tax breaks specifically carved out for the Dolphins and the opportunity to raise millions more through local hotel taxes, if voters approve" (MIAMI HERALD, 4/10). A MIAMI HERALD poll shows 69% (666) of voters are for the plan to use tax dollars to help fund improvements to Sun Life Stadium, 29% (281) are against the idea and 2% (23) were undecided (MIAMIHERALD.com, 4/10).
APPLES TO ORANGES? Dolphins CEO Mike Dee said of the comparisons of the team asking for public funding and the Marlins' recent publicly funded ballpark, the "sound bite war against those who oppose us is difficult because it's easy to say 'Marlins II' or 'welfare for rich people,' we hear it every day. But the thoughtful discussion when you take a step back and look at the facts … we will bat a thousand in converting people." Dee added, "We just got to get that message out and explain it in a way that folks know this isn't about just a free ride. This is a true partnership." This deal "keeps the Dolphins stable and solid playing in Miami for the next three generations" ("Joe Rose Morning Show," WQAM-AM, 4/9).

Video: 'Steer the Coverage'
We kick off another year of our Silicon Graffiti videoblog with a look at Old Media's response to the horrific shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ). For anyone who was on Twitter at the time the news first broke, it was quite a sight watching old media's narrative emerge in real time even before any of the basic facts of the story were known.
But this was far from the first time that a narrative was preformed–or very quickly assembled in the wake of a shock event. We try to place the MSM's response to the Giffords shooting with some earlier attempts by the MSM to force the facts like a pretzel to fit an existing storyline:
- Krugman versus the clip-art.
- Camelot and the Prefab Narrative.
- Katrina: Iraq without Iraq.
- Airbrushing Rev. Wright out of the media.
- "N-Word 15 times."
- Katie and Mayor Mike go looking for the Times Square Bomber in all the wrong places.
- "To be fair, there were some good reasons to steer the coverage initially in this direction."

"Whhhhaaat?" and "Daaayum!" was how X Factor finalist Chris Rene reacted after seeing Jessica Sanchez and Elise Testone perform on American Idol during Whitney Houston week. Although brand-loyal to the show that launched his career, the 29-year-old Santa Cruz native was so impressed with the girls' singing chops, he's become a vocal fan and insisted THR pass along a video message.
Tuesday night's episode of American Idol, which followed what seemed like the longest audition process ever, with endless emergency room visits, flu bouts, and even a peek at Steven Tyler's derriere, we finally got to hear the first live performances from the top 25.
With Simon Cowell, out of sight certainly does not mean out of mind.
Take, for example, the current brouhaha over who might be the next X Factor judge -- Mariah Carey? Janet Jackson? Katy Perry? Pink? It seems to be all people want to talk about, while the American Idol gang looks, well, idle.
Nigel Lythgoe, executive producer on American Idol, blames the show's ratings downturn in part to competition from NBC's The Voice and fellow Fox series The X Factor.
"With The X Factor sitting there, it feels like two Idol seasons on Fox," Lythgoe said Tuesday in a telephone press conference.
American Idol judge Randy Jackson admits that ratings for the singing competition show aren't as high as they once were, but he still believe in the show.
"Idol's in its 11th season, it's still the number one show on television, not by the huge margins it was before," he said.
Last year American Idol, shaking things up for its Simon Cowell-less 10th season, recruited Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez to judge alongside series stalwart Randy Jackson.
The show also brought in Jimmy Iovine, chairman of Interscope-Geffen-A&M, to mentor contestants including eventual winner and instant country star, Scotty McCreery.
With American Idol season 11 (!) kicking off tonight, it feels fitting to take a look back at how we got here: to a show anchored by superstar judges and a tireless host, a dream maker and taker and a platform like no other.
Indeed, it's been a long road that launched with meager beginnings – a makeshift judges' table and the Texas-sized voice that could: Kelly Clarkson. She set the bar high but plenty have moved it along the way. From the first time a runner-up outsold a winner to the first eye-popping moment when Adam Lambert turned up the heat to 11, Idol has seen many game-changing contestants and performances in its decade on the air. Here, our picks for 10 that stand the test of time:
The people have voted, and they prefer American Idol above all other reality contests -- even without Simon Cowell.
American Idol host Ryan Seacrest along with the show's three judges, Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler, executive producer Ken Warwick, Fox Alternative Programming head Mike Darnell and FremantleMedia North America CEO Cecile Frot-Coutaz took the stage at the 2012 Television Critics Association to talk about America's No.
American Idol Season Two runner up Clay Aiken found it easier to face notoriously crabby former Idol judge Simon Cowell than Donald Trump, whom he takes on in the new season of NBC's Celebrity Apprentice.
Among the 12 million viewers who are watching The X Factor every week is a select group of people who know better than anyone what the contestants on the freshman series are experiencing: the American Idol alumni, who have gone through a very similar experience themselves. (According to an insider, a few Idol grads even tried out for X Factor this year, among them: season 6's Lakisha Jones and Haley Scarnato and season 7's David Hernandez.)
Though Simon Cowell and American Idol co-creator Simon Fuller have been in a very public feud for years and most recently over the U.S. broadcast of The X Factor, Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe has managed to steer clear of the drama for the most part.
A kinder, gentler Simon Cowell? Don't let that pink sweater fool you.
If the new promo for The X Factor proves anything, it's that the gloves are most certainly off when it comes to Fox's slate of competing singing contests. How else do you explain Cowell's not-so-subtle digs at American Idol, the TV show that made him an international star?
How about we just call it like it is: Jennifer Lopez's recent admission to the BBC that she's "on the fence" about returning to American Idol next season is likely nothing more than a ploy for a pay hike. Lopez's current salary: a reported $12 million. How high could her demand ultimately go? Another $23 million, if the Simon Cowell budget is your barometer.

Lydia Ko sets course for NZ title honours
Relevant offers
Lydia Ko admits to feeling the pressure ahead of the New Zealand Women's Open but that is because winning her national championship at Clearwater on Sunday would mean so much to the world's top-ranked amateur golfer.
Ko is perhaps the only amateur in the world who can tee it up in a professional tournament and be considered a favourite, and this week will be no different for the seemingly unflappable 15-year-old.
Only two players in the field will take a higher ranking than Ko - ranked overall as the world No 38 - into the fifth edition of the women's open, again co-sanctioned between the European and Australian tours.
Throw her recent form into the mix - she was the runner-up defending her New South Wales Open title a fortnight ago - coming off a stellar 2012, and there are huge expectations.
Most media will be there to cover Ko's fortunes as much as the tournament itself, and many of the punters will only have eyes for one woman.
It is something the talented Aucklander understands.
"I do feel a bit of pressure," said Ko, who skipped the Australian Ladies Masters last weekend so she could arrive in Christchurch early and have a full week's preparation at the unfamiliar Clearwater course.
"But I have to block it out and concentrate on my game and my game only. The New Zealand Open is one of my most important tournaments and I'm always happy to play the open. [Winning it] would mean a lot."
Ko did not play at the inaugural event in 2009, at Clearwater, but finished tied for seventh in 2010 (aged 12), tied for fourth in 2011 (aged 13), and tied for 17th last year (aged 14) when she was in contention but faded in the final round. They were all brilliant performances for an amateur of her age.
However, in the past 12 months, her game has moved to new levels and this must be regarded as her best opportunity yet to become the first New Zealander to win the tournament.
Ko, however, is somewhat guarded.
The past three editions were hosted at Pegasus but the tournament returns to the tougher Clearwater layout this year.
She played the course while in town for the men's New Zealand Open last November.
"I have only played there once and it seems like a beautiful course and it also seemed quite challenging," Ko said.
"It seems to be less open [than Pegasus]. But I haven't played Clearwater many times so I'm not that sure of the course," she said.
Three of the four former champions - 2009 champion Gwladys Nocera (France), 2010 champion Laura Davies (England) and 2011 champion Kristie Smith (Australia) - will tee up this week.
However, the defending champion, Australian Lindsey Wright, is a late withdrawal with injury.
Ko, as an amateur, will not be able to claim any of the $315,000 purse. Still, that has not changed her focus, and there appears little chance she will turn professional in the 12 months.
Her golf-related focus is on maintaining her No 1 amateur status and working on her overall ranking through consistent performances in professional events.
She will play at least two of the five majors this year - the Kraft Nabisco Championship and the US Open.
