With Brett Ratner's comedy Tower Heist opening this weekend, I was able to chat with the busy director on the phone when he was in New York City promoting the movie. Starring Eddie Murphy, Ben Stiller, Matthew Broderick, Casey Affleck, Gabourey Sidibe, Téa Leoni, Stephen Henderson, Judd Hirsch, Michael Peña, and Alan Alda, Tower Heist centers on a group of disgruntled employees who decide to rob a white-collar criminal living under house arrest in their high-rise after he scams them all out of their savings.
During our wide-ranging conversation, Ratner talked about how he got involved in the project and who was originally going to star in it, the test screening process, deleted scenes, improv, what will be on the Blu-ray/DVD, and what it was like to work with Eddie Murphy. In addition, Ratner talked about producing next year's Oscars, future projects like Movie 43, 39 Clues, Hercules, Hong Kong Phooey, Beverly Hills Copy 4, Rush Hour 4, the Woody Allen documentary that he's producing, and a lot more. Hit the jump for the interview and audio.
Here are some of the highlights from the interview:
- He began working on Tower Heist in 2006. The film was initially an original idea from Eddie Murphy and involved a bunch of blue-collar working-class guys.
- In Murphy's original idea, the cast was made up of all black actors including Chris Rock, Chris Tucker, Dave Chappelle, and Jamie Foxx. The story ended up being too much like Ocean's Eleven, so they scrapped it.
- Ratner initially tried to get Robert Redford to play the character that Alan Alda ended up playing.
- He says that the test screening process didn't result in any changes or cuts to the film. The theatrical version is Ratner's director's cut.
- Most of the deleted scenes were cut because they were trying to keep the movie PG-13.
- There's only one improv scene in the film. It's the scene where Eddie Murphy and Gabourey Sidibe are learning how to open the safe.
- When he agreed to produce the Oscars, he knew that he needed a comedian so his top choice was Murphy.
- He says many of the ideas for the Oscar ceremony are dictated by what's nominated, but he's also coming up with a lot of ideas beforehand.
- His short that he directed for Movie 43 is completely out of his comfort zone and "plainly beyond R-rated".
- The short for Movie 43 stars Gerard Butler, Seann William Scott, and Johnny Knoxville.
- The decision of what Tarsem Singh's Untitled Snow White Project will be titled is up to the studio, but he says it will have a title soon.
- He's developing some things for network television, but we won't hear about it until next season.
- He's producing a miniseries for HBO about Sidney Korshak, a wildly powerful lawyer who acted as the go-between for the mafia and Hollywood.
- He's also producing a documentary about Woody Allen that Bob Weide is directing. Allen gave Weide permission to make the doc, and it features not only interviews with Allen but they were able to film him working on set, in the edit room, and they even filmed where he writes his scripts. The documentary airs on PBS this November.
- Ratner says there probably won't ever be another Rush Hour.
- There's no script for Beverly Hills Cop 4, but he says that they will probably make it in the next few years.
Here's the interview. Click here for the audio.
Was this one of these projects that came together quickly?
Ratner: No. Are you kidding? 2006, maybe, I've been working on this thing, five years. I mean, five years from start to finish, but it took me three and a half years to get it going. So it was a long, long process, it was very hard to get it going for a lot of various reasons.
Was what was finally on screen what you originally set out to do or how did the actual thing change over the years?
Ratner: So it started out, Eddie Murphy came to me with an idea…it was Eddie Murphy's idea, actually. He pitched me an idea about a bunch of blue-collar working-class guys, but they were all black. Chris Rock, Chris Tucker, Dave Chappelle, Jamie Foxx, all those guys, and they work in a tower. It wasn't a Bernie Madoff-type character, it was kind of like Donald Trump, or something. The movie felt too much like Ocean's Eleven, which I had actually developed.
Ted Griffin, who actually wrote Ocean's Eleven for me, came in and came up with this whole idea about the guy who does kind of a Punk'd scheme and loses the employees' pension fund, which just made it much more relevant. But the original idea was Eddie's.
Can you talk about getting Eddie Murphy in the film and what it was like working with him?
Ratner: I was a kid when I was watching him and I watched him over and over and over and over again. There's nobody that I would rather work with in my life than Eddie Murphy. Rush Hour existed because of Eddie Murphy, because I was just such a big fan of Eddie's. I watched his movies and that's what influenced me to make Rush Hour. But, to work with him on a movie like this is the ultimate.
Did you have a lot of friends that wanted to visit this particular set to see him do comedy?
Ratner: Yeah, it was like it was almost as big as the Miley Cyrus video I did.
You have a really great cast in this thing. Can you talk a bit about landing everybody? Was it one of these things where everybody you approached said, "yes," did you have to do any convincing or did you just have to say, "Eddie Murphy has a role?"
Ratner: The only person that turned me down was (Robert) Redford. I was such a big fan of The Hot Rock, and I wanted Redford to play it. I think he was finishing his movie or whatever, I don't know exactly what happened. (Alan) Alda was the next idea, but it wasn't that he was a second choice. He was actually a great choice for the part, but I think when you have a script with great specific characters, you get actors that really, really want to contribute and be a part of it. That's really exciting.
How did the test screening process shape, or not shape, this particular film?
Ratner: It didn't. I'm very lucky, because I screen the movie. A lot of comedies, you know, they test them and change them, they test show them and change them. My director's cut is basically the version of the movie. I don't think anything changed from the first version of the movie to this version, believe it or not.
So you didn't have that many deleted scenes then?
Ratner: Barely any. I already deleted them before they were tested. I knew they didn't fit, they were obvious things that I just knew didn't fit. My movies are pretty tight and they're pretty well-paced. I'm not one to make long movies. I don't dwell on stuff. I have the worst ADD and I keep it moving.
Are you a fan of the extended cuts? Can fans of the movie look forward to seeing deleted scenes of this one on the Blu-ray?
Ratner: Oh, there will be. There'll be some great deleted scenes, especially with Eddie and Gabourey (Sidibe) and stuff that was really, really fun to shoot. But, because we were doing a PG-13 movie, we kind of had to tone it down a little bit. We had fun making the movie, that's for sure.
When you have these kind of comedians all together, I'm assuming there's some R-borderline-X-rated material that, as you're on set filming…just some adult jokes.
Ratner: I don't know about X-rated, maybe R. Definitely not X. Yeah, we definitely went there with some stuff. There's not a lot of improv in the movie, actually. The one improv scene is that scene with Eddie and Gabourey when she's showing him how to open the safe. But otherwise, there's not really a lot of improve, but there's definitely some funny shit that you'll see on the DVD for sure.
You're producing the Academy Awards. You've done a lot of stuff in your career; is this possibly the one that makes you a bit nervous?
Ratner: Not when I have Eddie Murphy as the host. If I didn't have Eddie Murphy as the host, I might be nervous. But when Eddie agreed to be the host…I didn't know I would be producing the Oscars when I got the job for Tower Heist, so it wasn't part of my plan. I just knew that I needed a comedian, because of the fact that Billy Crystal and Johnny Carson and Bob Hope were the three best hosts ever, because it was comedic. They were great. So I said, "Well, if I can get Eddie Murphy, then I'm a home run." That's what I did and I got him, which I guess I had some good will because he loved the movie.
Are you planning on reinventing the wheel?
Ratner: You can't reinvent the wheel. You've got to just take the best from all the other shows and try to make it work, because there's the "live show Gods" that dictate if there are going to be any surprises, if there's a very commercial film that's a Best Picture, you know what I mean? There are a lot of things that are out of my control, but I do my best.
So are you going to flesh out your ideas once you find out what's been nominated?
Ratner: A lot of the ideas are dictated by what's nominated, obviously. A lot of them I'm coming up with beforehand. It's not an easy job, that's for sure.
I've seen your name attached to a number of things: 39 Clues, Hercules. What do you envision being the next thing that gets you behind the camera?
Ratner: I don't really know. All these different projects are developing in various stages of development. So, the one that comes together first…some have an actor attached, some have a script that still needs work, some have a budget that's not there yet. You see how hard it is to get these big movies made even with big movie stars.
You've been in the business for a while now. How has it changed for you in the past few years with "DVD sales going down?"
Ratner: I think it's much more difficult, especially in the movies that I'm making which are very expensive movies, meaning high budget. I don't think it's easy anymore.
I know you did a segment in Movie 43. What can you tell people about it and how much fun did you have making it?
Ratner: When I do short films, I try to do something completely out of my comfort zone, out of my element. So I did New York, I Love You which is a very personal film for me. My most personal film, but it's not like a film I've ever made. I would never do that film as a feature, for instance, because it's not very commercial of an idea. So that's what I did for Movie 43. I did a film that was completely insane and would definitely not work as a feature. But it's something that's out of my comfort zone and that's what I do when I'm asked to do one of these shorts within a feature.
Is it an R-rated short?
Ratner: Oh yeah. It's plainly beyond R, it's insane!
Who did you cast in your short?
Ratner: Mine is with Gerard Butler, I have Sean William Scott and Johnny Knoxville in my film.
When is this thing actually coming out?
Ratner: I don't know because I've only done one segment. There are twelve other segments and they're working on the interstitials. I'm sure they're going to put it out…I don't know when. I think the Farrelly Brothers got distracted with The Three Stooges, so they need to finish it, because they were overseeing the production.
What's going on with Hong Kong Phooey?
Ratner: That is getting made! Eddie Murphy attached himself, which is great. We're getting that made, I'm producing Snow White, I have a documentary coming out November 20th and 21st on Woody Allen that I produced.
About working with Tarsem Singh and producing the Snow White movie, are you guys close to a title?
Ratner: It will be titled but I don't know when. That's a studio decision. We will, soon. [Tarsem's] amazing. I actually didn't see his other movie and I'm a big fan of his work. So I was excited to be producing a film that he directed. It's really exciting.
Can you talk about the challenges of producing vs directing?
Ratner: Producing is making films without having to work sometimes. It's still making films, but it's a different job. When you're the director, you kinda do all the work. I'm actually going tonight to check the prints of my movie even though the premiere's tomorrow night. So I'll be working til 4, til the sun comes up, probably. Then I gotta go do The Today Show. That's what the director does, just kinda has to oversee every detail.
The producer can put something together, package it, oversee it, give input. I'm the kind of producer that likes to take a back seat and let the director run with it. If he needs me, I'm there for him. As a director, I like to have the producer there with me. As a producer, I don't want to be there because I happen to be a director first and foremost, I don't want to "that guy."
Is there anything that's bubbling up for you right now in television?
Ratner: I do have a lot of exciting stuff coming up in the TV world, but you won't be hearing about it until next season. Stuff that I've been developing that I'm really, really excited about.
Is it stuff for the networks or stuff for HBO, FX, etc?
Ratner: Networks. I'm also developing something for HBO, a miniseries on Sidney Korshak that Robert Evans is producing and Brad Gray, believe it or not. It's the Sidney Korshak story, who was kind of the link between the movie business and the mafia. That's a miniseries I've been developing over at HBO. I have a deal at FOX Television, so I've been developing a lot of TV stuff.
I'm curious about the Woody Allen documentary. Can you tell us about it?
Ratner: Bob Weide is the director. I produce the film, executive produce it actually, because in TV it's better to be the executive producer, right? It's going to go on my friggin' gravestone; it's like the best thing I've ever been involved with. Bob Weide came to me and said, "I want to do a movie about Woody Allen. I've been writing him letters for twenty years. And he's going to say 'no.' The only movie he let get made about him is Barbara Kopple's film (Wild Man Blues), which is about his jazz music. He's never late anybody make a film about his personal life or his movies or anything. He finally said, 'yes.' I asked if you could produce it and he said, 'yes.'" So that was the end of it. I just went out and raised some money. We made the film and it's premiering on PBS on November 20th and 21st. I'm just so proud. I'm proud of all the documentaries I've done. I did the documentary on John Cazale. And I did a documentary on Helmut Newton.
So the Woody Allen one actually has interviews with him and people talking about Woody?
Ratner: 100%. Not only interviews. We filmed him on set, we filmed him in the edit room, we filmed his entire process. We showed where he types his scripts, where he handwrites his scripts, where he gets his ideas from. All of it. It is incredible.
I didn't realize it was so comprehensive.
Ratner: It's a two-part, four hour documentary about Woody Allen's life. It's the definitive life of Woody Allen and it's for American Masters and there will be a theatrical two-and-a-half-hour version for international.
What kind of decisions did you have to make going from the four-hour version on PBS to the theatrical cut?
Ratner: It's not easy, but it's a theatrical version. You can't show a four-hour movie in a theater, really. So we cut it down to two-and-a-half hours for the theatrical version, which is as good. I personally can watch an eight-hour documentary on Woody Allen because I'm fascinated by him. But, an audience can't really sit through more than two and a half hours on any movie. It doesn't matter if Marlon Brando came back from the dead. It's just impossible.
Do you go through his entire resume or do you pick and choose along the way?
Ratner: It's probably the definitive film. I don't think it covers every single film, but it's his life for sure and it's totally approved by him. It's a great film. You should somehow get together with the director because he made it. I just helped make it. I'm the behind-the-scenes producer who kind of just helps push things along and gets things done. It's Bob's movie and he made, really, one of the greatest films I've ever seen on a portrait of a filmmaker. I'm very, very proud to have my name on it and my company, because my company produced it.
There's always been a lot of talk about another Beverly Hills Cop and Rush Hour…
Ratner: I don't think there will ever be another Rush Hour unless it's Grumpy Old Rush Hour or get the children of Jackie and Chris to make a Rush Hour. I think there will probably be another Beverly Hills Cop but I think more so now than before because Eddie and I now have a rapport and I think it's a film that…he was very precious about Axel Foley, less than a movie like Tower Heist, which is an original. But everywhere in the world he goes, someone's like, "Yo, Axel!" So I think it's easier because now I know him so well that I can really get him to come around on some of the ideas that have been pitched out.
How close are you as far as a script for Beverly Hills Cop 4?
Ratner: We're not close, but I'm hoping in the next few years there will be one. Eddie and I are even setting up some more of his ideas. I'm hoping that we have a long, fruitful relationship. We're both still very young, believe it or not. Eddie's only 50 years old, so I think we have a little bit of time to come up with a great Beverly Hills Cop.
Is there a chance that you guys could ever pair for an R-rated movie?
Ratner: It would be Beverly Hills Cop. Or it would have to be a movie that was a big piece of business, like a Beverly Hills Cop, or an original idea that was like an independent kind of film.

Searching around the web I couldn't find any way to to transfer messages from Windows Phone to Android that actually worked.
I could export all the data from Windows Phone using the contacts+message backup app, but there was no Android app that understood that .msg format.
However, I found the SMS Backup & Restore app that seemed to work well for exporting/importing messages between Android devices.
So with a bit of trial and error and the help of the XML Type Provider I managed to create an F# script to convert from one format to another.
The trickier part was trying to figure out what DateTime format was being used in both cases (thanks Lincoln), all the rest was pretty straightforward. The .msg format has a lot less fields than the .xml format used by the Android app, but it ended up still working ok with those missing fields.
It converts both SMS and MMS, though it only retains the text and photos from the MMS's, vCards, embedded location maps and other items are skipped. but it should be fairly easy to add that support if needed.
Here is the code:

BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens nipped the New England Patriots on Sunday night, 31-30, on a 27-yard field goal by Justin Tucker that sailed over the right upright.
Tom Brady completed 23 of 31 passes for 294 yards and a touchdown, and the New England Patriots took a 27-21 lead over the Baltimore Ravens after three quarters Sunday night.
Brady engineered a go-ahead drive midway through the third period, with Danny Woodhead scoring on a 3-yard run. That 12-play, 80-yard march offset a 7-yard touchdown scamper by Baltimore's Ray Rice on the opening series of the second half.
Brady had given the Patriots a 20-14 lead with a 7-yard touchdown pass to Julian Edelman with 2 seconds remaining in the first half. Brady's late heroics overshadowed a nice comeback by Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco, who threw two second-quarter TD passes after being held without a first down in the opening period.
On the drive culminating in Edelman's score, New England benefited from two defensive penalties and Brady hitting Wes Welker for a 28-yard completion.
In the first quarter, Brandon Bolden scored his first NFL touchdown and Stephen Gostkowski kicked two field goals as the Patriots took a 13-0 lead.
New England frustrated the Ravens until they finally put together their first sustained offensive series, a 13-play drive that ended with a 25-yard touchdown pass from Flacco to Torrey Smith, who was playing less than 24 hours after the death of his 19-year-old brother.
With 1:47 remaining in the half, Flacco found Dennis Pitta along the right sideline for a 20-yard scoring pass. Pitta leaped over safety Steve Gregory, caught his balance to remain in bounds at the 7-yard line and gave the Ravens the lead.
The game was billed as a rematch of last year's AFC championship contest, won by the Patriots.
New England went ahead 3-0 midway through the opening period, using a 59-yard pass from Brady to Welker off a no-huddle play to set up the score. After Baltimore's Ed Reed made a jarring hit in the end zone to deny Edelman a touchdown catch, the Patriots had to settle for Gostkowski's 37-yard field goal.
The completion to Welker allowed Brady to move past Hall of Famer Joe Montana (40,551 yards) and into 12th place on the NFL's all-time list for yards passing.
On the first play of the ensuing Ravens series, Flacco was intercepted by Gregory, who stepped in front of Pitta and returned the pick 36 yards to the Baltimore 6-yard line. Three plays later, Bolden burst in from the 2 for a 10-0 lead.
After another three-and-out by Baltimore, Brady moved the Patriots 60 yards in 11 plays, culminating in a 49-yard field goal by Gostkowski. The drive was helped by a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on defensive tackle Haloti Ngata, who flopped on Brady after the quarterback went into his slide on a 7-yard scramble.
Baltimore finally broke through on a drive that carried over into the second quarter. Flacco capped the 82-yard march with the scoring pass to Smith in the left side of the end zone.
Pitta's TD reception put the finishing touches on a 92-yard drive. Flacco was 4 for 5 for 67 yards on the 10-play march.
Smith rejoined the team following the death of his brother, Tevin Chris Jones, in a motorcycle accident in Westmoreland County, Va., late Saturday night. Smith was informed of his brother's passing at the team hotel shortly after 1 a.m. Sunday and left the Ravens to be with his family.
Before the game, a moment of silence was observed for Jones, whose picture was placed on the replay screens at the stadium. The Ravens also asked the fans to observe a moment of silence for former NFL Films president Steve Sabol.

According to founder Rosa Valado, the response this year brought in nearly double the submissions from last year, with 200 shorts, documentaries, experimental and animated films. The first year of the festival saw just 75 submissions.
"We got more than twice the films than we did last year," Valado said.
Judges this year included Jeremy Kipp Walker, director and producer for the New York-based Journeyman Pictures; playwright, short film maker and Greenpoint film enthusiast Keith R. Higgons; Michael Sayers, owner of Photoplay Video and DVD; Brooklyn filmmaker Rachael Guma; and artist and filmmaker Tom Jarmusch.
With themes like the new micro-budget section, which focuses on how technology has changed the face of modern film, and environmental impact, the festival has managed to evolve into something fresh that focuses what is happening now in the community.
"We thought we would pay attention to the needs of the times," Valado said. "It's really time to launch something that's celebratory and in a forum to give a voice to this new kind of thinking."
Films will be screened at 67 West St., a space donated by From the Source home furnishing store next door. There will also be some screenings at 200 N. 14th St.
Festival volunteer coordinator Amanda Robertson said she is anticipating well over 100 people at the festival.
"We're building a base here in Greenpoint and Williamsburg and we're creating that loyalty in people who will talk about it and get excited about it and tell people in other boroughs," Robertson said.
The opening reception for the 2013 Greenpoint Film Festival is on Thursday September, 19 at 6 p.m. at 67 West St., followed by the beginning of the Environmental Program, Part 1 and the documentary, "At The Corner of 3rd and 3rd, The Hill."
Fornino Pizza, The Garden Food Market, Pauli Gee's pizza and Lure Fishbar donated food for the festival. Fiona's Bar and Restaurant and Ryan Maguires donated the alcohol and dessert.
"A lot of the preparation involves making opening night exciting," said event coordinator Bethany Jurewicz.

Thanks to Mike for pointing this out this morning. Just brutal news. Desmond Bishop is an absolutely critical part of this defense – a defense that was already horrendous last year with him. The defense is not in a good place now. And on a personal level, Bishop had worked his tail off to get to the point where he was the entrenched starter, so this has to be seriously disappointing for him. While I'm also on record as being a big fan of likely replacement DJ Smith, this loss hurts big time. I heard Dan Needles speculate the other night on Channel 12 news that AJ Hawk's status not only as a starter was in question, but that he could be on the bubble to make the team. (Which is how it should be.) I had hoped that they'd work DJ Smith into Hawk's role so that we'd have Smith and Bishop manning the middle. Hawk isn't going anywhere now. This news hurts.
That said, one bright spot I still cling to on the defensive side of things is Jerel Worthy. I thought he was "worthy" of a first round pick so I was super excited when we got him in the 2nd round. I understand and think it's fair when people question his motivation (taking plays off etc), but there is something that tells me come real game time, he will be a big-time performer. In college, he was just plain disruptive. Whether it was stopping the run, pursuing the QB or even a few times when I watched, surprising QBs by dropping into coverage. He is a talented dude who could help make this defense better.

Polish narrow gauge railways
This article is a travel topic
Due to economical changes in 1990s, many of the lines have been closed or even dismantled, however some of then are still operating. As - generally speaking - Germans used to be more fond of railways (while Russians and Austrians less) most of the narrow gaude lines had been built in nowadays western part of Poland. The region, that owns most of these still working is Wielkopolska region. In most cases at least one station of a narrow gauge railway is next to a normal-gauge one, so it;s easy to start a narrow-gauge adventure getting there by regular train.
Be prepared, that in many cases local narrow-gauge lines operate only in summer (May-September or even the end of June till the end of August) and during some weekends, so they aren't used for regular passenger traffic any more. But there are still some operating daily, or at least on schooldays.

Dr. Christopher House Receives National "TRIO Achiever Award"
Dr. Christopher House, assistant professor of communication studies and former predoctoral diversity fellow, recently learned that he will receive the 2014 TRIO Achiever Award from the Association for Equality and Excellence in Education. As the organization articulates: "A TRIO Achiever is an outstanding former TRIO participant that has received recognition within his/her profession or for outstanding academic achievement. They are individuals who have made significant civic, community, or professional contributions." TRIO programs are funded by the U.S. Department of Education and began as part of the 1965 Higher Education Act.
Dr. House, a first generation college student, was named a Ronald E. McNair Scholar while an undergraduate at SUNY Brockport. The purpose of McNair program is to prepare well qualified students for doctoral study through involvement in research and other scholarly activities. With the support of McNair and TRIO support program, Dr. House went on to receive a prestigious fellowship during graduate study at Syracuse University and subsequently a K. Leroy Irvis Fellowship to support his doctoral studies at the University of Pittsburgh.
Ithaca College's Predoctoral Diversity Fellowship was the next step for Dr. House in 2012-13. He earned his doctorate during his year at the College and was subsequently hired as a tenure eligible faculty member in Communication Studies.
The TRIO Achiever Award nomination came from the McNair staff at Brockport, who have been following Dr. House's research and publication record, in part through posts like this one on Intercom. Dr. House expresses gratitude to his mentors at Brockport, as well as his colleagues at IC, explaining that programs like McNair and the IC Predoctoral Fellowship provide students an equal opportunity to demonstrate our potential for success. I would not be where I am today without them, and I share this honor with both colleges."

EXCLUSIVE! Danielle Staub Says: 'Make Me The Next 'American Idol' Judge — I'll Replace Kara DioGuardi!'
Now that the SHOCKING American Idol news is out of the bag, The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Danielle Staub thinks she's exactly what the Fox reality show needs!
Danielle Staub wants to be your judge America! The New Jersey reality star loves being a housewife, author, mom, and aspiring popstar, but she wants to add one more thing to her list — American Idol judge! We spoke to The Real Housewives of New Jersey star today, July 30, about the shocking news that Ellen DeGeneres quit AI AND that Kara DioGuardi was FIRED. The author of The Naked Truth had a surprising revelation for HollywoodLife.com!
"I would love to be a judge on American Idol," exclaims Danielle. "I could replace Kara! I'd be the perfect fit!"
We already know Danielle has a "don't hold back" attitude on her Bravo reality series and this is why she firmly believes she'd bring a lot to the judging table.
"I'll tell it like it is and you might not like or what what I'm going to say," says Danielle. "I'm not going to be as gentle as Kara but not as critical as Simon. I'll come from a real place, this is reality … I will love to give people chances but I'm going to keep it real at all costs. I'll add an element of surprise and shock for sure!"
Danielle just released her single "Real Close" with well known music producer and girlfriend Lori Michaels, and hopes this will help land the AI gig.
"I've learned so much through this process of recording "Real Close"," she says. "The live performances are exhilarating, I can see why people give up everything just to sing and perform."
As for Ellen leaving the show, Danielle completely stands behind the newest Idol member, Jennifer Lopez.
"Even though Ellen is one of my favorite people in the entire universe, I think JLo is the suitable fit," she says. "She's sexy, hot, and Latina, she can bring that vibe that has been lacking, she'll bring a whole new element to American Idol."
Danielle is set to appear on Ryan Seacrest's radio show, August 2, so maybe she can convince the Idol host to make her dreams a reality!

Google's Gabriel Stricker, director of Global Communications and Public Affairs, opened the Google Instant launch this week. And he was incredibly condescending to the audience.
He said that the reason Google holds events like this one was that "we hear from a lot of you that with the kind of breakneck pace of innovation that we go through at Google, it's nice for us to kind of let you catch your breath." He went on to tell the audience that they would "hear from our Search rocket scientists in a second who will hold your hand through the latest and greatest of what we're up to."
So Google is so awesome that the company has to pause so the rest of the world can catch its breath? And we're all so stupid that Google geniuses have to "hold our hands" as they explain things?
Come to think of it, Google's CEO Eric Schmidt often comes across as arrogant and condescending. He recently asserted that Google users actually "want Google to tell them what they should be doing next."
Responding to a question about Google's ever-increasing invasion of privacy for profit, Schmidt said: "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place."
Google: I know the world of public opinion is changing at a "breakneck pace." But let me hold your hand through this.
You're an incredibly successful company that has hired a lot of very brilliant people. You make billions from advertising with a model that depends on the trust of hundreds of millions of people. Your future success also depends on national governments allowing you to do things like read our e-mails, track our locations, take pictures of our houses, map the locations of our Wi-Fi networks and so on (yes, Google is still doing this, as are its competitors).
Neither humans nor governments make decisions based on rational self-interest. Unlike your founders, the public is not composed of Vulcans. Emotion is often involved. Such comments by precisely the kinds of people who should know better -- your top PR guy and your CEO -- do incredible damage to your reputation, which if left unchecked can create needless resentment that will come back to bite you in the backside someday.
Such high-visibility condescension benefits no one, and does damage to the company in subtle, impossible-to-measure ways. When public resentment and distrust comes back to get you, it will not be traceable to the comments that initially planted the seeds of wariness about the company.
Am I wrong about this? Please let me know whether Google is blowing it by being careless about the perception of high-level comments.

Can Obama Survive Health Care Shock?
Other presidents have attempted to tackle health care, faced midterm losses, but prevailed.
Forget what you've heard about Social Security being the third rail of American politics, the issue that does in politicians who dare to touch it.
The real killer issue is health care. It has helped doom more political careers than Social Security ever did -- and not just this year.
Three times since the end of World War II, Democratic presidents in their first term have offered sweeping changes in the health care system. All three times, Republicans followed with huge midterm election gains, taking control of both chambers of Congress twice and winning back the House once -- this year.
First came Harry Truman. Shortly after Franklin Roosevelt died and Truman took over, he proposed universal health care. Then came the 1946 midterm elections, and the GOP picked up 55 House seats and 12 Senate seats to grab majorities in both chambers.To be sure, there were plenty of other reasons that "To err is Truman" became a popular Republican refrain: postwar labor strikes, a debate over whether and when to end price controls, and the fact that he wasn't FDR. But health care was a pivotal piece of the puzzle, as former President Bill Clinton noted decades later.
"The effort virtually destroyed Truman's presidency, driving his approval ratings below 30 percent and helping the Republicans gain control of the Congress," Clinton wrote in My Life, his 2004 memoir.
Clinton became something of an expert on the dangers of health care, learning the hard way that a sweeping reform effort carried a huge cost. "I knew the whole enterprise was risky," Clinton recalled. But he went forward anyway, ahead of the 1994 midterms.
"On November 8, we got the living daylights beat out of us, losing eight Senate seats and fifty-four House seats, the largest defeat for our party since" -- you guessed it -- Harry Truman. Again, a first term Democratic president was left to grapple with Republicans running Congress and the prospect of his own reelection effort running into the ground.
This time, of course, it was Obama who chose to ignore the cautionary tales of health care's dangers. He got further than either Truman or Clinton, actually getting a comprehensive bill through Congress and signing it into law -- at the expense of dozens of Democrats who backed him.
There is one silver lining for Obama, and it's potentially a big one. Although Republicans took over the House, the fact that Democrats managed to hang on to control of the Senate means Obama won't be faced with outright repeal of what was supposed to be the signature issue of his first term.
But that doesn't mean Republicans won't try. In fact, they'd be silly not to try, given exit polls showing about half of voters favoring repeal of all or some of the provisions -- and similar findings in postelection surveys of all adult Americans. Even if Republicans come up short, the attempt will keep the issue alive that much closer to the 2012 elections.
Obama shares more with Truman than just lopsided losses in Congress from touching health care. Both faced members of their own party wanting them to sacrifice their own careers.
In Truman's case, Arkansas Sen. William Fulbright called on him to appoint a Republican as secretary of state, then resign. Under the succession law then in place, that Republican would have become president because the vice presidency was vacant.
In Obama's case, Democratic pollsters Douglas Schoen and Pat Caddell said in a postelection op-ed in The Washington Post that Obama should, for the good of the country, announce he would not seek a second term. Less severe than quitting, no doubt, but still a career killer.
Truman ignored Fulbright's advice and won a full term of his own in 1948. Obama also should ignore Schoen and Caddell. He might not win a second term in 2012, but his numbers aren't dismal enough to warrant pulling the plug on himself.
Consider this: In a Pew Research Center poll the week before the November elections, 47% of respondents said that Obama should run for a second term. Not a great number, perhaps, but better than the 36% who said at the same point in his term that Ronald Reagan should run again, and a tad more than the 44% who said that about Clinton.
They both cruised to reelection.

Most of us don't think twice about going home for the holidays, but this simple idea is impossible for millions of homeless people worldwide to even fathom. In Sweden, the Stockholm City Welfare Mission joined forces with the Swedish Museum of Architecture to call attention to the issue of homelessness this Christmas season. Under the campaign "Help us Break an Old Christmas Tradition," the organizations are using the museum's annual gingerbread house exhibit as a venue to explore what it means to be at home, and how more fortunate individuals can help the homeless.
The public was invited to submit gingerbread houses, which were judged by a panel that included the museum's director, the Stockholm City Welfare Mission project manager, an architect, baker, and art collector. The tasty structures range from tiny towns to arctic landscapes and trailers to igloos.
The exhibit runs through January 9, 2011, and you can also vote for your favorite here!

with Zoe Jakes
From A to Zoe by Zoe Jakes has over 7 hours of totally original content that touches on everything that Zoe Jakes personally focus on in her own dance. She has taken her favorite exercises, her favorite warm ups, and her favorite moves and combinations and put them into a format that you can put into your own style of dancing. Each DVD is a progression from basic to advanced concepts and techniques. There are options for different levels, so you can grow and progress with each segment.
Each DVD goes in depth in it's focus, breaking down the technique then extensively drilling the concept. You can take the technique and add it to your personal style, or see how Zoe has incorporated it into her own stylization in the combinations section. The concepts in this DVD can be applied to any style of dance, which is demonstrated in a surprise cross over performance in cabaret style! With a bit of practice you will soon notice an increase in your balance and strength, a broadening of your movement vocabulary, and an improvement in your overall dance presentation.
1. DVD #1 begins with Zoe's own personal warm up and a word about posture. Then we start exploring traveling movements and variations. After a drilling segment we move on to something that Zoe gets asked about a lot: flutters. Then we learn a few unique combinations. Each combo is carefully explained then extensively drilled so that it gets into your muscle memory. There is also a 40-minute bonus class that was filmed at one of Zoe's workshops.
2. DVD #2 focuses on hits, which are sharp, punctuated movements followed by a flowing and soft aftermath. We discuss the difference between pops, locks and hits – with an emphasis on a stylized release and recoil. After drilling this concept we put it to use in several combinations. Next we do some strength and flexibility training that is especially geared toward belly dancers, who tend to universally have tight hip flexors, overuse their abs, and have a weak psoas. These exercises are essential in preventing injury and creating a balanced body. Extras on this DVD include: a feather fan tutorial and live performances.
3. DVD #3 is all about how to initiate movement and how to throw your weight around in a dynamic and creative way. You can achieve a highly stylized look simply by the way that you choose to approach your movement. As always, there are drills and combinations on this DVD. There is another long bonus class that was filmed at a workshop as well as a never-before-seen live performance.
4. DVD #4 focuses on the advanced art of layering – but don't be intimidated, Zoe does offer different options for different levels so you can start with a more basic version and work your way up. After a detailed instruction and a long practice session we do our combination. Extras on this DVD include: a make-up tutorial, where Zoe candidly takes you through the process of putting on her stage make-up as wells as an extended practice session where you can da

Arturo Fis-Sierra Kindle Heater Outdoor Patio Heater
At Design Interviews
(Excerpt) Interview with Arturo Fis : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Arturo Fis : To reinvent an industry that has been widely overlooked since the 1960s, with little inovation in design strategies despite the enormous, and growing, global demand. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Arturo Fis : Sierra represent the panicle of design fashion. It takes everything we know, and makes it even more beautiful. It marries functionality into a finely tailored suit made in the tradition of old world craftsmanship. It is at once classical and contemproary. Sierra transforms the ubiquitous and mundane outdoor patio heater into a coveted item of desire, beauty, and romance. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Arturo Fis : We have created a limited edition of 101 pieces that we hope will make their way into the finest architectural spaces around the world. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Arturo Fis : Beginning in 2007, I spent 18 months in ideation and research, another 30 in fabrication and testing, and introduced the our first Kindle Living Heater, now called Allison, in late 2010. Sierra is my newest, most beautiful creation, just recently introduced. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Arturo Fis : Design is inspiration, and Sierra has been the muse to this concept I now call Kindle Living. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. Arturo Fis : We are currently in production with a limited edition, each hand made by master carpenters, of 101 pieces. .Frank Scott: What made you design this particular type of work?. Arturo Fis : Opportunity. I have been a designer for 32 years. During my tenure, this is my first opportunity of reinventing a product, and forever changing what people come to think and expect of an outdoor patio heater. .Frank Scott: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?. Arturo Fis : Design is the destilelation of experiences. As such I try to surround myself with what I find beautiful and inspiring, both in the material, natural, and spiritual sense of the word. I am moved most by what is now termed "Modern Classics" architecture and design from the likes of Eames, Bertoia, Saarinen, Mies, Hans Wegner, Prouve, Poul Kjaer, etc. I also have a deep appreciation for material integrity and craftsmanship without which good design is not possible. .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Arturo Fis : Anyone who appreciates beauty and innovation, in lieu of the mundane and disposable. Though many subscribe to this ideal, few in real life practice it. Instead we are always tempted by fad and consumerism. .Frank Scott: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?. Arturo Fis : EVERYTHING! Our biggest achievement is the element of discovery. Our biggest obstacle is that it is not apparent that this is a patio heater. I love the sense of surprise, the AHA! moment people have when they first come into contact with our products. We've taken the patio heater and reinvented it. .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Arturo Fis : Sierra is inspired by a coastal stretch of road, along highway 101 in California, in a magical forested area called Big Sur. I drew my inspiration and name from spending time there. .Frank Scott: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?. Arturo Fis : Aside from traditional design tools and modeling techniques, a clean piece of paper was both the greatest gift and tallest challenge. I took everything that was known and set it aside to see how it would be different if it was created today by me. It took a real leap of faith to do this, and I will always be thankful to those that encouraged me to take this step I now call Kindle Living. .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. Arturo Fis : Inovation in the approach of what these objects can and should look like. We have taken everything that once was and made it beautiful while improving every aspect of its performance. We have taken a mundane object and made it into one of beauty, elegance, and romance. It is an object that is now memorable and loved. It is a Cinderella transformation. .Frank Scott: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?. Arturo Fis : I had the good fortune to involve some dedicated, talented, and passionate engineers, tool fabricators, manufacturers, and even the son of the original inventor of the "mushroom" type patio heater. .Frank Scott: What is the role of technology in this particular design?. Arturo Fis : Without the invention of new materials or reimagination of manufacturing methods, nothing would have been possible. In our exploration we managed to secure multiple patents. .Frank Scott: Is your design influenced by data or analytical research in any way? What kind of research did you conduct for making this design?. Arturo Fis : There are multiple constraints to meeting certification for "gas powered appliances". Further, there are functional restrictions in how to maximize operation of "mushroom" type patio heaters. Understanding these was critical in the development of a design that was at once beautiful and functional, leading then to the development of materials and manufacturing processes that would allow for a happy marriage between all. .Frank Scott: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?. Arturo Fis : Material and manufacturing processes had to be created to make this reinterpretation of the outdoor patio heater possible. To the uninitiated, it looks simple. Trust me when I say that after nearly 7 years breathing these problems, they are not. .Frank Scott: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?. Arturo Fis : Designers are my pears, and I am always glad and thankful to share the wonders that we dream up in those moment of inspiration and desperation. Only people who spend their lives making things better, more meaningful, beautiful, and even inspirational truly understand the hardship and joy that is part of the design process. .Frank Scott: What did you learn or how did you improve yourself during .[ End of Excerpt: Read complete interview with Arturo Fis on Sierra Kindle Heater Outdoor Patio Heater at design-interviews.com ]

Chicago Fire 2, Columbus Crew 1 | US Open Cup Match Recap
BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. – It took 78 minutes, but the Chicago Fire finally took advantage of the opportunity provided them by Wednesday night's postponement of their Lamar Hunt US Open Cup fourth-round clash with the Columbus Crew, as Patrick Nyarko's late strike propelled them into the quarterfinals with a 2-1 win under their belt.
After match was postponed until Thursday afternoon due to inclement weather in the Chicago area, Crew head coach Robert Warzycha was forced to alter his lineup with a view towards their game against Montreal on Saturday, but the Fire initially had trouble taking advantage.
The visitors took an early lead when Ben Speas' 22nd minute free kick cross from the left side found Konrad Warzycha, who placed a header from about nine yards past Sean Johnson to give Columbus an early lead.
After failing to create many early chances, Chicago strung together their best sequence of the half to equalize when Alex found Gonzalo Segares on the left side of the box, who played a cross to an open Mike Magee for an easy tap-in.
The Fire almost took the lead in the 43rd minute when Nyarko played a long ball to Magee, who tipped the bouncing ball just over goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum and inches wide of the post.
But a short-handed Columbus team didn't lay down.
Dominic Oduro could have given the Crew an edge in the 62nd minute when he charged into the box past defender Bakary Soumare, but his low shot was saved by Johnson.
The Fire finally pulled ahead in the 78th minute, when Chris Rolfe's cross found Nyarko at the back post, and his diving header nestled into the back of the net.
Chicago will move on to face Orlando City, who shocked Sporting KC on Wednesday night, in the quarterfinals on June 26. In the meantime, they'll host Colorado on June 19 in their next league game before heading to Columbus for a rematch in MLS play next Saturday.
After losing in their first game of the US Open Cup last year, the Crew were once again bounced early from the tournament.

While most laptops with built-in cameras have a light that turns on when it's in use, hackers are able to do this without the tell-tale light, according to the Washington Post. Apparently hackers can use the camera and "deactivate the warning light."
The FBI has had the technology for years, according to former assistant director of the FBI Operational Technology Division, and now it seems that teen hackers have the ability as well.
U.S. & World
In 2008, Apple computers prevented the deactivation of a warning light, but now it's easy to get around mainly because Macs are more complicated, according to research from Johns Hopkins University.
"There's more than one chip on your computer," Charlie Miller, a security expert at Twitter, told the Post. "There's a chip in the battery, a chip in the keyboard, a chip in the camera."

Your prenatal care team
Now that you're pregnant, you'll work closely with a prenatal care team who will help you make decisions, track milestones, and stay healthy through your pregnancy. Kaiser Permanente's collaborative approach to care helps us establish best practices that lead to better outcomes. With seamless communication across departments and specialties, everyone who cares for you during your pregnancy is connected, working as a team to keep you and your baby healthy. We're here to empower and support you, and help you have the delivery day experience you want.
These are some of the people who could be part of your prenatal care team:
Obstetricians are medical doctors who specialize in the care of pregnant women. Most obstetricians are also gynecologists who provide care for women when they aren't pregnant, so you might be able to continue seeing your regular gynecologist for prenatal care.
Certified nurse-midwives are registered nurses who have specialized education and training. They can care for you before and after your pregnancy, deliver babies, and provide family planning and birth control counseling.
Perinatologists are also called maternal-fetal medicine specialists. They're highly skilled in caring for women with high-risk pregnancies.
Nurse practitioners are specially trained to provide health care services to women during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period.
Choosing a doctor or midwife
Choosing a doctor or midwife is directly related to where you live, and where you want to deliver your baby. First, you'll have to check to see if we offer midwifery in your area.
In many Kaiser Permanente facilities, physicians and midwives work together to give you as much personalized care and attention as possible.
Doctors and midwives have different training and skills, and their approaches to prenatal care and childbirth may be different as well. When you're choosing your prenatal care provider, find out if his or her philosophy and approach match your preferences and values. Whether you have a doctor, a midwife, or both, they share the same goal — keeping you and your baby healthy.

Snap o' the Day: Stairway to... somewhere?
Someday, this view of the Southwest Mountains, shot February 15, will encompass more than just a Target store, the Sakura/Vinny's patio area, and a stairway to nowhere. As the high ground of developer Wendell Wood's Hollymead Town Center, this site could be an eight-story office building.

The wall ties into planned future development. But it was built now so they wouldn't have to tear down a temporary retaining wall later and install the stairway. But of course this was explained to me by my 13-year-old niece who knows it all. Her explanation sounds pretty accurate though.
sounds like you got a clever crew there Rambo!
Not really. She has insider information! :)
Has Wendell Wood ever developed anything that wasn't gawd-awful ugly? My, what stunning use of asphalt!
Joni Mitchell comes to mind-- and perhaps Dante's "Paradise Lost"
Reality Check, news flash! Ugly pavement works. Compare your net worth to that of Wendell Wood. :)
Don't be hating on a rich successful man!
Do you guys read Cvillain.com and say 'we should write about that!'? This article came out 8 days ago - cvillain had an article about it the day it was in the Post.
For the record, cvillain.com has had 'undercover dining at area restaurants' for over a year now with 40,000 readers per month. These are people from the community writing about old places, new restaurants, and ones that haven't even opened yet. Peruse the 'Food' section. Cvillain.com isn't printed on paper, but the website is amazing. Why compete? Embrace it and work together to cover the 'food scene' in town.
Thanks for your comments, but I'm afraid you're mistaken. We posted about the Post article on the day of: http://www.readthehook.com/dish/index.php/does-the-post-love-us-or-what/
If you notice the time stamp it was posted at 10:50am. Not sure when cvillian posted, but you might want to check.
Of course, you're free to think cvillain is a great source of information, but how do you know if everything you've been reading isn't written by the same person? How do you know the restaurant reviewer doesn't work for the restaurant? Or works for another restaurant and has an axe to grind? How do we know you don't work for cvillain? You see, gossip sites with anonymous posters and commentors are great fun and all, but trusting them a legitimate news source...as the saying goes, buyer beware.
As far as I know, no one 'works' for Cvillain. It's a free site that is moderated. I know personally know a large number of people who write reviews and comment on the site. Actually, you probably know more people who post there than you think. I don't think the scenario of a reviewer with an axe to grind is an accurate one. There will always be negative reviews, but if you look at the mass of comments on a particular place it gives a pretty accurate overall picture of the restaurant rather than just one reviewers perspective. How do we know that a restaurant that gets a glowing review in the Hook doesn't pay $1000 a month for advertising?
I'm more inclined to listen to what 1000 regular people say about a restaraunt versus what just one "intrepid gourmand" thinks after just one visit.
If the restaurant knows who he is, of course he's gonna get better service and food than everyone else.
I'll admit that I'll probably read and make fun of his opinions, anyway.
Good luck.
FYI cbob, people do work for cvillian: http://www.spicybear.com/2007/12/28/welcome-to-spicy-bear-media/
"I don't work for Cvillain"....If you'd read the review you'd see that our reviewer visits the restaurant twice, provides no advance notice to the restaurant, and speaks to the chef after the two visits. 1000 regular people? Hmmm.....isn't it more like the same five people? :)
Dave, Thank you for your retort.
Your reviewer may show up announced, but I would think that the restaurant owners or managers know who he is, especially since he's speaking to the chefs, removing his anonymity from any future visits. And since most of the establishments are owned by a handful of people, you know they all know who he is.
So, instead of making fun of your reviewer, I think I'll start making fun of you. Although, I like challenges, so maybe not.
Actually, I probably won't even bother, as I wouldn't want you to make the mistake of thinking you had a higher readership than the competition by which you are clearly threatened.
We have at least 200 people who have written articles and way too many commenters to count. Also, to clarify, we don't employ anyone at Spicy Bear Media at this time. Good luck with the restaurant reviews! Thanks, Kyle
I can't speak for Cvillain outside of the fact that I like the site and am a contributor. I'm just pointing out that your food blog is a good idea for your site - but rather than have an adversarial relationship with Cvillain, why not try to partner up with them somehow. RSS feed Cvillain reviews with their help? RSS Hook reviews into Cvillain? Getting defensive about it is kind of ridiculous. CLAW was organized by Cvillains and you covered it and liked it :)
Seems to me both kinds of "reviews" have something to offer. A place like Cvillian (sounds like Yelp to a point) where anyone can offer up an opinion is a good thing. So, in my mind, is a newspaper standing behind a reviewer even if that reviewer is known to the restaurants on some level. If he's really off on his descriptions of the food he'll lose any credibility quickly. If he's always raving about service but it becomes clear that its owing to the restaurant having recognized him, again he loses credibility. (Also, in my experience, restaurants can't really dial up that "extra special service level" because if they can't provide good to excellent service regularly they can't do it on a moment's notice either.)
I'm looking forward to exploring Charlottesville restaurants again (I'm moving back after a couple of years in San Francisco) and I'm thrilled that there are reviews of any kind to help.
Food fight!

It's a weird, interesting, frustrating Survey on the Good and Meaningful Life. There were bits that made me think, and lots of bits where I thought, "my answer isn't one of these multiple choice options!"
Go get provoked by it anyway. Now I just hope there is a follow up where Jean Kazez answers the question, "What was the meaning of that survey?"

Though the Democratic convention is Hillary Clinton's party, President Barack Obama could be the most important figure in the presidential contest between now and Election Day, NBC News reports.
Obama, who is speaking at the convention Wednesday night, is the only outgoing incumbent president since Ronald Reagan who has been popular enough to benefit his party's nominee.
Obama's job-approval rating is at 51 percent in the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal — the third-straight NBC/WSJ survey where his approval has been above 50 percent.
U.S. & World
Despite the president's high approval ratings, Republicans want to use the negative news at home and abroad — the terrorist attacks in Orlando and France, and the police shootings in Dallas and Baton Rouge — against the party in charge of the White House.

As Iraq edges toward civil war, here's a look at major players and groups in the crisis.
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) is a Sunni jihadist group that has its roots in the al-Qaeda-linked insurgents that formed the backbone of the resistance against U.S. forces in Iraq after the 2003 invasion. It has since expanded operations into Syria, where it is fighting the regime of Bashar Assad, and has broken formal ties with al-Qaeda. It embraces a radical form of Islam and consists of battle-hardened fighters.
Earlier this year, the group ransacked Fallujah and Ramadi, two influential Sunni cities in western Iraq. It has managed to hold much of Fallujah and portions of Ramadi. More recently it seized parts of Mosul and was positioned to edge toward Baghdad.
ISIL is also referred to as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
The prime minister of Iraq leads a Shiite dominated government that has alienated many of the Sunnis in Iraq over the past several years. Maliki has been criticized for not taking more steps to include rival Sunni leaders in his government.
Shiites are the majority sect in Iraq, but for most of Iraq's history they were oppressed by the Sunnis, who dominated the government. Saddam Hussein and his key leaders were all Sunnis. Shiite leaders during that time were driven into exile.
Iraq's armed forces
Organized, trained and, to some extent, equipped by the United States, the Iraqi military was a competent force when the United States pulled all its forces out in 2011.
But over the past several years Maliki has been accused of appointing political cronies to key leadership positions and the military has ceased to conduct regular training. Sunnis have said the army is little more than another Shiite militia and have little confidence in its ability to protect them. Many units simply collapsed when insurgents attacked Mosul and other cities in Iraq.
Shiite militias
During the U.S. occupation of Iraq, Shiite militias, some of which were backed by Iran, grew to become powerful forces. Among the strongest such militias is the Mahdi Army, a group loyal to anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.
Shiite militias at various times attacked U.S. forces and also participated in sectarian warfare in Iraq between Sunnis and Shiites, which peaked in 2006. Most of the insurgent gains were in Sunni or mixed areas. Shiite militias will likely try to protect Shiite neighborhoods if insurgents attempt to move into Baghdad.
