13 developing countries take action to strengthen their cultural policies and industries
Technical assistance missions in the field of cultural policy and cultural industries are carried out by recognised international experts who were selected as part of this programme and who form the basis of an Expert Facility. These missions provide beneficiary countries with high-level expertise to assist them in ongoing efforts to strengthen human and institutional capacities to develop policies that suport the emergence of dynamic cultural and creative industries. Interventions are designed through a series of national and/or local consultations and validation processes so that each mission fully corresponds to the needs and priorities of the beneficiary countries.
First resultsThe City of Buenos Aires and the government of the Seychelles have already benefited from technical assistance missions, carried out in late 2011 and early 2012. The results have been: a holistic evaluation of the domestic audiovisual sector and strategic recommendations to transform Buenos Aires into a global hub of the production of Spanish-language content for children; and a new creative industries policy and music sector strategy for the Seychelles that aim to equip artists and cultural entrepreneurs with the skills necessary to engage with global trends in the sector.
Ongoing missionsTechnical assistance missions are well underway in Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Mauritius and Viet Nam. The technical assistance in Burkina Faso is focused on developing a strategy and action plan to make the integration of art and culture modules into school curricula a reality. The mission in DRC is supporting the development of a comprehensive and locally-designed cultural policy that implements the 2005 Convention. Assistance in Mauritius is centred on developing a clear strategy to create an enabling environment for the development of the country's cultural industries, while in Viet Nam the mission is focused on enhancing funding opportunities for these industries through the design of various mechanisms and a legal framework.
Next stepsTechnical assistance missions will be undertaken in Barbados, Cambodia, Haiti, Honduras, Kenya, Malawi and Niger in the second half of 2012. The assistance in Barbados, Kenya and Niger will focus on reinforcing cultural entrepreneurship, with particular focus on training of local trainers in Kenya (musicians, visual artists) and in Niger (staff of the Agence de formation des entreprises et industries culturelles du Niger). The mission in Honduras will mostly be centred on developing innovative business models aimed at enhancing the management and sustainability of cultural industries. Finally, missions in Cambodia and Malawi will provide assistance in the drafting and implementation of cultural policies that aim to foster the development of cultural industries.
UNESCO is partnerning for the first time with the European Union to reinforce the governance of culture in developing countries. This programme implements the 2005 UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions at national and local levels, in developing countries that are both Parties to the 2005 Convention and are eligible beneficiary countries under the European Union thematic programme "Investing in People". This technical assistance programme demonstrates the importance given by both UNESCO and the European Union to implement concrete activities that promote culture as a key factor of sustainable development.

It's a "dazed and confused distant branch of the Cub Scouts," comedian says.
Jerry Seinfeld does not like the United States Postal Service. More than one episode of his classic eponymous sitcom was devoted to mocking the foibles of the postal bureaucracy, and a central character in the series, "Newman," was a letter carrier whose work was characterized by laziness and ineptitude.
In the years since Seinfeld aired, its star's views of postal operations have apparently not mellowed. Far from it. In fact, during a segment on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon this week, Seinfeld was, if anything, more biting than ever when it came to the Postal Service.
USPS and its employees, the comedian said, are:
a dazed and confused distant branch of the Cub Scouts, bumbling around the streets in embarrassing shorts and jackets with meaningless patches and victory medals, driving 4 miles an hour 20 feet at a time on the wrong side of a mentally handicapped Jeep.
I love how the postal system has this financial emotional meltdown every three to five years that their business model from 1630 isn't working any more. I can't understand how a 21st century information system based on licking, walking and a random number of pennies is struggling to compete.
See for yourself in the clip below (the USPS rant starts at the 3:00 mark):

Choosing the Right Law School / University of Arizona V. Syracuse« on: February 01, 2012, 10:39:33 AM »
I have been admitted to law school at the Univeristy of Arizona and Syracuse. I have in-state tuition at U of A and it's a top 50 school, however this is where I completed my undergrad. Syracuse appeals to me because of the location, but I am aware of its ranking. However, it does seem to have a more notable collection of alumni compared to the U of A. Any thoughts on which school I should attend in the fall? I'm having an incredibly difficult time deciding.

I was always an underachieving student; probably still am an underachiever (what self-respecting Type-A wouldn't see more that he/she could be doing?). I would study just hard enough to exceed expectations. I got good grades in school and all, but there were things I could have learned more.
Algebra, for instance. I did well enough in other forms of mathematics. My mind, however, just couldn't wrap itself around the advanced levels of algebra. Had only my instructors told me that it would help me live with a disease I would someday get…
(You're thinking: "Where's he off to this time?" I can hear it now.)
I always think of algebraic formulas as a way of solving for "x," solving for an unknown. As if winding our way through normal life wasn't taxing enough, we have to deal with a constantly moving "x," multiple sclerosis.
Tomorrow night (that's Thursday for those docket-deficited among us), I'll be hosting another HealthTalk MS Community show. This one will be Anatomy of an MS Attack. We're going to talk about and look at an MS attack in algebraic terms; we're going to try to solve for "x."
We won't have to worry about our instructors this time. I've worked with the two doctors joining me, and they are both great guys. In fact, it will be more like a study group with friends, I think.
What do I mean by this "x" factor? Well, think about it: I'm told there are about 20 billion neurons in our central nervous system (CNS). Now, each and every one of those neurons (and think of it, 20 thousand million neurons) can connect to one another with only six connections. That means that with no more than 6 little electrical charges (or synapse) each of the 20,000,000,000 nerve endings can communicate with any of the others.
No wonder it's next to impossible to tell where damage in the CNS is going to affect the body! That's what I mean by solving for "x."
The good news is that the brain is (excuse the pun) very smart.
Think of it like that overpass collapse on the highway near the San Francisco Bay Bridge a few months ago. If the cars were the signals trying to get from the brain to the body, and one of the main pathways is damaged or blocked, the cars are simply re-routed to get to their destination. The brain tries to do that, automatically.
It took most commuters far longer to get to where they were going, but most did reach their destination. Some stayed home and several accidents occurred as well.
Same in the brain.
Some of the signals are far slower getting to the body than we're used to, some get jumbled with others and still others don't even seem to leave the brain anymore.
But I digress, as per standard operating procedure for Trevis…
Join me, please, for this interesting program on Thursday night.
I think it will be time well spent and there will be no pop quizzes!
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

Migration migrates: "Not a viable business model," say owners
3 comments
that end of the mall really doesn't seem to be doing that well.
What will it take to turn it around?
It's not the end of the mall. It's the type of business. The owners didn't say "East end of the mall not viable", they recognize their model isn't working.
It would be interesting to hear the DBAC weigh in on this. At some point the businesses need to learn to work together to create a better experience for their customers. Stores aren't open late, restaurants aren't open lunch. Let's learn to work together and we all can win.
Dr. Hook,
Obviously, you don't know much about John Denver; he wrote and sang so many other songs, not only about nature. Nature happens to be just his most common topic, yes, but don't you love and respect nature? Some of us are in constant awe by it, the feelings we get are a natural continuous high, and that maybe some people will never understand, which is a real pity. I hope you get to feel the high of nature some day too.

1950 film by Akira Kurosawa
Rashomon is a 1950 Jidaigeki film in which a heinous crime and its aftermath are recalled from differing points of view. The film has an unusual narrative structure that reflects the impossibility of obtaining the truth about an event when there are conflicting eyewitness accounts. In English and other languages, Rashomon has become a byword for any situation in which the truth of an event is difficult to verify due to the conflicting accounts of different witnesses.
- Directed and written by Akira Kurosawa and Shinobu Hashimoto, based on the short story "In a Grove" by :Ryūnosuke Akutagawa.
The husband, the wife...or the bandit?
- Commoner: But is there anyone who's really good? Maybe goodness is just make-believe.
- Priest: What a frightening...
- Commoner: Man just wants to forget the bad stuff, and believe in the made-up good stuff. It's easier that way.
- Priest: If men don't trust each other, this Earth might as well be hell.
- Commoner: Right. The world's a kind of hell.
- Priest: No! I don't want to believe that!
- Commoner: No one will hear you, no matter how loud you shout. Just think. Which one of these stories do you believe?
- Woodcutter: None makes any sense.
- Commoner: Don't worry about it. It isn't as if men were reasonable.
- Priest: I don't want to hear it. No more horror stories.
- Commoner: They are common stories these days. I even heard that the demon living here in Rashômon fled in fear of the ferocity of man.
- Priest: A man's been murdered.
- Commoner: So what? Only one? Why, up on top of this gate, there's always five or six bodies. No one worries about them.
- Commoner: Well, men are only men. That's why they lie. They can't tell the truth, even to themselves.
- Priest: That may be true. Because men are weak, they lie to deceive themselves.
- Commoner: Not another sermon! I don't mind a lie if it's interesting.
- Woodcutter: Selfish!
- Commoner: What's wrong with that? That's the way we are, the way we live. You just can't live unless you're what you call selfish.
Quotes about RashomonEdit
- Rashomon is the closest to "perfect" a film can get.
- German filmmaker Werner Herzog, in the film Inside the Edges.
- I like silent pictures and I always have. They are often so much more beautiful than sound pictures are. Perhaps they had to be. At any rate I wanted to restore some of this beauty. I thought of it, I remember in this way: one of techniques of modern art is simplification, and that I must therefore simplify this film.
- Akira Kurosawa, on the style of the film, as quoted in The Films of Akira Kurosawa (1998) by Donald Richie. p. 79
- Human beings are unable to be honest with themselves about themselves. They cannot talk about themselves without embellishing. This script portrays such human beings — the kind who cannot survive without lies to make them feel they are better people than they really are. It even shows this sinful need for flattering falsehood going beyond the grave — even the character who dies cannot give up his lies when he speaks to the living through a medium. Egoism is a sin the human being carries with him from birth; it is the most difficult to redeem. This film is like a strange picture scroll that is unrolled and displayed by the ego. You say that you can't understand this script at all, but that is because the human heart itself is impossible to understand. If you focus on the impossibility of truly understanding human psychology and read the script one more time, I think you will grasp the point of it.

flawless battle-stones
anywho, when you get one of these stones, the way you use it is as follows: (1) summon the pet you want to upgrade. (2) target the pet. (3) right click on the stone in your inventory. a little clunky, but at least it works. since rare critters and aquatics aren't too hard to find in the wild, i ended up using my stones on quest reward pets that have a distinctive, if not unique, look. so war pug the perky pug, commodore bob the fishy, and peanut all got the goods.
got some traffic from folks looking for the polished battle-stone vendor. you can buy them from commander lo ping in townlong steppes - he hangs out in the niuzao temple, out in the islands. i'm not feeling any need to buy these myself - as many rares as i have at this point, paying to make a pet uncommon is not appealing. but not everyone is me, so if it fits your plans, then rock on.
7 comments:
Do you mind sharing the conditions in which you got the stones? I did some leveling in the same area, not much, but over 200 battles since 5.1 and I never seen one stone of any type.ReplyDelete
I wonder if it is just my history of horrible luck or if there are specific groups that drop it, as one theory said only groups with 2 rares can drop them.
Just wanted to see if you had any data to munch on about it.
i'll tell you what i know. it looks like i did a little under 200 battles. my teams were typically two level 20-24s, and one 25 that i only brought in if things went badly. the wild pets were 23-25. whether or not this meets blizzard's definition of "defeating higher level opponents increases the chances of obtaining a stone", i got no clue. not even sure if "higher level" means higher level than you, or higher level in the sense that 24 is higher than 3. i'm pretty sure, but not 100% positive, that i got stones from fights where there was no rare. i'll keep an eye on that though, and see if i can nail it down one way or the other.ReplyDelete
my guess is that the probability of getting a stone is somewhere in the ballpark of 1%, give or take, which would mean we need to do north of one thousand battles before lady rng is no longer in the driver's seat. lucks to you!
- Ratshag's wifeDecember 3, 2012 at 11:26 AM
I have gotten three of these from leveling around Halfhill. I didn't notice any pattern, but I would guess I have fought at least 200 since 5.1. I think it is just plain old luck (or lack of) because I got general flawless ones twice, one family specific, and then a family specific from the daily quests.ReplyDelete
-Ratshag's wife
I just upgraded a L20 Emperor Crab to Uncommon, from Poor quality. I think this will be a useful time-saver for those of use who a) have nowt else to spend the points on and b) who have a number of hard to find spawns at below Uncommon. My Mininfernal, also Poor, will be my next upgrade :D The question then becomes if I can upgrade these with the next stone up.ReplyDelete
I so wanted a Flawless Battle-Stone and finally got one but didn't realize the angst it would cause, lol. I am still trying to decide who gets the upgrade. My head tells me to upgrade a Magic but my heart wants to upgrade my Kun-Lai Runt.ReplyDelete

Valve's confirmed to GameSpot that Portal has sold nearly four million copies worldwide, and that figure excludes Steam sales.
Portal began life as Narbacular Drop, a student project at the DigiPen Institute of Technology. The game won the Independent Game Festival's Student Showcase Award in 2006 and its creators were soon snapped up by Valve.
An adapted version of Narbacular Drop became Portal, released in 2007 as part of Valve's The Orange Box.
Portal 2 was released in the early hours of Tuesday morning via Steam, while console gamers must wait until tomorrow when the game hits stores.

Lotus Biscoff Alfajor
Review Recipe3 stars based on 1940 votes
In its Argentinean Origins these cookies are filled with dulce de leche. In this version, our Biscoff Cookie Butter takes takes the center stage.
- Prepare the cookies: Mix butter and powdered sugar in a mixer for 2-3 minutes into a uniform mixture. Add egg yolks and Biscoff Cookie Butter and keep mixing until they are absorbed into the mixture.
- In another bowl, mix flour, cornflour and baking powder. Add the flour mixture to the mixer bowl and blend at a low speed just until a uniform dough is formed.
- Flatten the dough slightly and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least two hours and up to 24 hours.
- Preheat an oven to 340 degrees and line a pan with baking sheet.
- Roll out the dough to a thickness of approximately 1/5 inch on a lightly floured work surface (if the dough is slightly stiff or crumbly, you can knead it a little). Cut out 60 cookies with a cutter in 1.5 inch in diameter, lift the dough circles gently with a spatula or a wide knife and move to the pan.
- Bake for about 10 minutes until they turn a very light golden hue. Allow to cool completely.
- Assemble the Alfajor: Add the Biscoff Cookie Butter into a pastry bag. If it is too stiff, heat it for a few seconds beforehand in a microwave to soften it (take care not to completely liquefy it).
- Arrange half the cookies so that their flat side faces upward and pipe on their centers ½ a teaspoon of filling. Close with another cookie and press lightly.
- You can store in a closed container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

Bankruptcy is a federally authorized procedure by which a debtor-an individual, corporation, or municipality- is relieved of total liability for its debts by making court-approved arrangements for their partial repayment.The goal of modern bankruptcy is to allow the debtor to have a "fresh start," and the creditor to be repaid. Through bankruptcy, debtors liquidate their assets or restructure their finances to fund their debts. Bankruptcy law provides that individual debtors may keep certain exempt assets, such as a home, a car, and common household goods, thus maintaining a basic standard of living while working to repay creditors. Debtors are then better able to emerge as productive members of society, although with significantly flawed credit records.An individual who is badly in debt can file for bankruptcy either under Chapter 7 (liquidation, or straight bankruptcy), under Chapter 13 (reorganization), Chapter 12 (family farmer reorganization), or under Chapter 11 (business).

A former Life Time Fitness employee of the company's club in Collierville, TN, was charged last week with two additional counts of aggravated sexual battery, and local police detectives have obtained surveillance video of one of the alleged incidents.
The incident in the video shows Anthony Webster inappropriately touching an 8-year-old girl, according to an affidavit of complaint reported by the Memphis Commercial Appeal. After the incident, which lasted less than a minute, the 8-year-old ran and hid in the maze area of Life Time's child care center, the newspaper reported.
Webster was initially arrested on July 14 on the same charge in an incident involving a 6-year-old girl. Webster allegedly picked up the 6-year-old, put her on a ledge and touched her inappropriately, according to the newspaper.
Both of those incidents allegedly took place on June 16. Webster also is accused of inappropriately touching a 9-year-old girl in a separate incident that occurred a week earlier, according to the newspaper.
Following his July 14 arrest, Webster was released on $1,000 bond. He was arrested again last Thursday after more accusations surfaced and his bond was increased to $50,000. Webster was released the same day on bond, and has agreed to wear a GPS tracking device, the newspaper reported. His next hearing is scheduled for Sept. 29.
Life Time initially suspended Webster when the investigation began in June, then fired him after his first arrest. The Chanhassen, MN-based company had no comment on the two additional charges.

Che Guevara was literally an adrenaline junkie, for instance: danger released the hormone that allowed him to breathe freely.
THE TEN "CAUSAL SYMPTOMS" OF "A.D.D."

Cocaine and amphetamines concentrate in the central link of the reward circuit (the ventral tegmental area and the nucleus accumbens). These areas contain especially high concentrations of dopaminergic synapses, which are the preferred target of these drugs.

Are you or were you a nice person who just struggles with a hatred for religion (not a dislike) but a hatred?
You really don't want to be that guy(or gal) who is just a jerk about it?
Well that is the predicament I am in and I really need advice on how to handle these feelings. I am very peace and love oriented person otherwise and I don't enjoy being a jerk but when I am about religion (especially Christianity) it some how feels irrationally justified in my head.
Have any of you ever struggled with this problem?
I apologize if someone has posted something similar.
I also apologize if this post seems somewhat stupid,mislead, or misinformed.
Views: 198
Actually, I'm full of rage and almost afraid of it. And I'm getting more activist about it every day.
You made me feel a lot better. I thought a proper thanks was in order
I am how you are. I hate religion. But it's not a struggle. Oddly enough, religions are accomplished with hate. hmmmm....
I understand anger towards religions and their followers on a very personal scale. Growing up my father was an extremely devout christian, in later years he converted to messianic judaism, anyway I remember countless occurrences of abuse in the name of God including and not limited to constant demonic rebuking, physical punishment for questioning of the bible, and many other such things.
I was also witness to the hypocrisy of so-called devout people when I received an education at a theistic school. I was repeatedly sexually harassed and nothing was ever done to the boys who did these things because I was from a divorced family (my mother finally realized she would not be struck dead for leaving my father), whereas the perpetrators were from proper wholesome christian families. But I think the thing I resented the most was the fact that as a child I had to hide any books I received from outside sources or else they would burned. This may not seem like the most horrible thing to some, however books have always been my only refuge and greatest joy since I first learned the magic of the written word. I have never been an overly emotional person, but I do struggle at times with anger at a few of these hypocritical and sometimes abusive people, but then I think things out rationally and realize all people are capable of hypocrisy and abuse. There are people with problems in every walk of life and no matter what a person's views are there will always be someone who thinks they are right and you are wrong.
I cannot forgive my father for what he has done to me, my mother, and my siblings, however I realize he has extremely serious problems and in the end he will most likely end up alone and instead of anger I feel pity for such a person. And as for random people of religion, well all I can say is I pity them too for their need to continue living in a protective fantasy. My advice for you is instead of feeling anger at these people try to focus on the delusions they live and realize what a sad existence that is.
Not a general all out hatred, but sometimes I do feel something that is close to it. Especially lately when I hear about people like Rick Santorum and the loony pastor who introduced him at some churchy church event. When I hear people who are "christians" complain about the "war on religion" it really irks me because they are not talking about a war on all religions but just for their one and only dog. Another thing I can remember is reading a post on here a few months back about a gas station in South Carolina (the gas station was in my hometown) that had something to the point of if you don't believe in god you can get out. That shit really pisses me off (I know we shouldn't let this get to us but if it's everywhere...) and I cannot help but want to punch some people. Also Also In my history class this one guy wrote something about the money saying "In god we trust" and "one nation under god" in the pledge of allegiance. He was all butt hurt about it and thought that it was wrong for people wanting to take these things away from him and his faith. I told the guy i worked with and he said "well you shouldn't get offended about it saying god in the pledge and on the money. just ignore it and i proved him wrong by simply stating the first amendment.

Sidney Lowe and the Bromance That Wrote Itself
Look at them, all matching. Adorable.
SLC Dunk kicked off the bromance on Twitter:
** "When we got back together here, it was just like we had never been apart. We talked about old things, we laughed like we used to…" — Sidney Lowe on Ty Corbin (1)
** "I called him first, but after a month or so when he called me, I knew right away I wanted to be with him." — Sidney Lowe on Ty Corbin (3)
** "I don't question his loyalty." — Ty Corbin on Sidney Lowe (1)
Incidentally, has anyone else noticed that Ty and Sid have the same body? Thick, barrel-chested, small B cup.
** "We're close to completing the staff, and you'll be real surprised, real happy with the guy we have." — Ty Corbin, the day before the official announcement (1)
** "I have all the confidence in the world in David Stern and we're gonna keep pressing on this thing for the good of basketball, for the good of our players, and for the good of the organizations." — Randy Rigby (1)
** "The real plus for Sidney Lowe is he's got a great personality." — Brian T. Smith (2)
** "[Are you a Twitter person now?] Uh, no. But I, I read one once. [What did it say?] Didn't like it. So I shut it off." — Kevin O'Connor (3)
** "[In discussions with ownership, are fans ever mentioned and is there concern of losing fans?] I really can't. I think everybody's commented on that. That's been out there. That gets close to writing a check." — Kevin O'Connor (3)
Um, I follow the Jazz like a hawk and the only person affiliated (and I use that term loosely) with the Jazz I've heard mentioning the fans this entire time was Jerry.
** "Coach and I have talked about some things, talked about the defensive end, which I feel good about, being involved on the defensive end, and probably work a little bit with our big guys." — Sidney Lowe (1)
Well, that's it. Those of us that have been clamoring for a big man coach can stop clamoring. We got one now. On a completely unrelated noted, Lowe was a point guard.
** "[How much interaction have you had with Ty over the years?] Talked to him when I was in the league, obviously. When I went to [coach at North Carolina State], not as much but towards the end there I started to reach out to him a little bit and called and congratulated him on getting the job and then realized that he had a position [open] later. So I told him, 'Now I'm calling for a job.'" — Sidney Lowe (3)
Sidney Lowe
** Career NBA coaching record: 79-228 (.257)
** NBA Career: 193 games with 5 teams in 4 seasons
** Career NBA playing averages: 2.9 points (.367 FG%; .133 3P%; .764 FT%), 1.7 reb, 3.9 ast, 1.0 steals
** Played with Thurl Bailey at North Carolina State and with Ty Corbin in Minnesota

Open Circles -- Open Minds

The Labyrinth | The Witches Ball October 20, 2018
MoonPath provides a connection to the spiritual teachings of Earth-centered traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature.
For some of us, this will be the religions of Native-Americans, or of Africa, or of Asia. For others, it will be the Old Religion that preceded the current Patriarchal Era.
We are open to the members and friends of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Fort Lauderdale, our Host Congregation, and we encourage participants to support both groups.
We prescribe no One Way; we encourage self-exploration and searching. We practice our individual traditions and we teach.
We have no hierarchy. Among us are Conveners who lead events and a contact person who is better described as a Gatekeeper.
In order to remain a CUUPS Chapter, at least three of our members must be both members of Continental CUUPS and our Host Congregation.
Merry Meet and Merry Part and Merry Meet Again, Blessed Be!
-- March 31, 1996
We have the best of intentions to hold an Open Circle for each of the Eight Sabbats and to continue our 7:30 PM Thursday Evening Study Group. We also hold Invitation-Only rituals and other events as opportunities arise. Remain aware of the Phase of the Moon. We often meet on a Sunday night as she waxes full.
We provide an entry point for the Solitary Practitioner. For those into details, see our structure and Ordains. Remember that no one converts to Paganism or Wicca. It is to some that the Old Religion speaks, and, to them, it is a journey home.

Here's Jennifer Lopez on the set of a music video she recently filmed with Fat Joe and French Montana in NYC, wearing a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti Leopard Hi-Top Sneakers. You can find an extremely similar pair for $1,016 at farfetch.com. J-Lo's pair seems to have extra gold metallic bands, but we're guessing hers were customized for maximum bling factor. Jennifer is a big fan of the Giuseppe Zanotti brand, and you can find more of her favorite GZ styles in "The Many Shoes of Jennifer Lopez".
These particular GZ sneaks have been around for forever – and by "forever", I obviously mean since 2011. Three years is a really long time for a high-end brand like Giuseppe Zanotti to stick with a hi-top, side-zip sneaker, but for a couple of years they updated this style to include the then-massively popular hidden wedge trend (seen here on Selena Gomez). Thankfully, I think we can all say with complete confidence that that trend is now well dead, and good riddance.

Editor's note: Jeffrey Toobin is CNN senior legal analyst and author of "The Oath: The Obama White House and the Supreme Court." The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of the author.
(CNN) -- Elections have consequences.
That's the message of Monday's rulings from the Supreme Court -- and, indeed, all decisions by nine justices whose ideologies reflect, with considerable precision, the views of the presidents who appointed them. Both the Hobby Lobby case -- which concerned the intersection of women's rights, religious freedom, and Obamacare -- and the Harris case, about the future of labor unions, were 5-4 decisions.
Five Republican appointees for the owners of Hobby Lobby (and against the unions). Four Democratic appointees for the Obama administration (and for the unions). Notably, too, three of those four Democratic appointees are women. (Of 112 people who have served on the Supreme Court, four have been women.)
As in so many cases before the justices, the legal issues in these cases were as much political as legal. Indeed, just like politicians, the justices try to frame the questions before them in as politically appealing ways as they can.
In Hobby Lobby, the issue was whether a privately held company, whose owners have strong religious convictions against abortion, can refuse to pay for certain forms of birth control which they regard as immoral. "The owners of many closely held corporations could not in good conscience provide such coverage," Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the majority, and to force them to do so would violate federal law.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, for the dissenters, framed the issue in an entirely different way. She and her colleagues saw Hobby Lobby as asking for -- and receiving -- a license from the court to discriminate against women. What, she asked, about companies that have religious objections to treating African-Americans equally -- or gay people? And, she asks, "how does the Court divine which religious beliefs are worthy of accommodation, and which are not?"
The same kind of conflict undergirds the union case. In that case, home care workers who are covered by a union contract demanded the freedom to refuse to pay dues -- which the conservative majority granted them. Is this, as Alito (again) held, simply a matter of preserving the freedom of speech rights of these employees? Or is it, as the dissenters, led by Justice Elena Kagan, said, a vehicle to starve unions of the dollars they need to survive -- and negotiate precisely these kinds of contracts?
Toward the end of this year's term, there were more unanimous opinions than usual -- including rulings about the right of police officers to search the personal electronic devices of persons under arrest, and about the legitimacy of the use of recess appointments by the Obama administration.
But no one should be misled. When it comes to the most fundamental issues before the court, the most important factor is not the legal arguments but the identity of the judges -- and the presidents who appointed them. Republicans vote one way, Democrats another. It's true in Congress, and it's true on the other side of First Street as well -- in the marble temple of the United States Supreme Court.

Like John McCain in 2008, Mitt Romney needs a game changer VP pick - and party leaders think they may have found the man. U.S. Representative Paul Ryan could, they say, make a persuasive vice presidential pick thanks to what he himself calls the 'checklist.'
'I check a series of boxes,' the Wisconsin Republican reminded the media in 2008. 'Young guy. Economics guy. From a swing state. Catholic.'
It could be the magic political formula that Romney is seeking to bolster the public's perception of him as a rather uninspiring and dull candidate. Thanks to the controversial budgets that Ryan persuaded House Republicans to pass in 2011 and 2012, he's become a national figure and something of a star of the hard right.
Romney understood that magic allure when he asked Ryan to campaign with him for five days in Wisconsin this spring. But at this stage it's still too early to tell if Romney will tap him to be running mate.
First of all the math isn't promising. Only two sitting House members were selected for the vice presidential spot since 1948 by either party. Both tickets lost and neither VP pick ever held elected office again.
Ryan's age is another factor. At 42 he would be the third-youngest vice presidential selection since World War II, after Richard Nixon, 39, in 1952 and Dan Quayle, 41, in 1988.
According to the Boston Herald, political science researchers and academics debate whether running mates have any effect at all on presidential elections. In a 2001 paper called 'Requiem for a Lightweight,' author David Romero of the University of Texas argued they have none.
Even GOP strategist Karl Rove agrees: 'Running mates haven't decided an election in more than a half-century,' he wrote in The Wall Street Journal last week.
But Ryan may not have gotten the memo. Since the start of 2012 Ryan's seven appearances on Sunday news shows this rank him second only to Ron Paul, who has been running for president. Ryan has reportedly appeared on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox, MSNBC, CNBC and other channels.
Ryan may be a practicing Catholic but that was not enough to stop the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops ruling his budget would hurt the poor and vulnerable. Bishops urged lawmakers to 'resist for moral and human reasons' the cuts to hunger and nutrition programs in the Ryan budget. Just last week more than 80 professors and administrators at Georgetown University signed a letter to Ryan before his appearance at the famous Catholic school accusing him of wrongly citing Catholic teaching to argue for his budget.
Ryan's budget calls for biting cuts in Medicaid and a total overhaul of Medicare for people currently under the age of 55, making both Ryan and his policies a political lightning rod.
Romney could benefit from choosing a running mate popular with economic conservatives, but he could also be opening himself up to the divisive shortcomings of that choice too. Time will tell.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 17 (UPI) -- U.S. newspaper columnist Pauline Phillips has died after a battle with Alzheimer's disease, her publicist said. She was 94.
Phillips was the creator of the "Dear Abby" advice column, which her daughter, Jeanne, took over writing in 2002.
"I have lost my mother, my mentor and my best friend," Jeanne told TMZ after confirming her mother's death Wednesday. "My mother leaves very big high heels to fill with a legacy of compassion, commitment and positive social change. I will honor her memory every day by continuing this legacy."
Pauline's twin sister, Eppie Lederer, was also an advice columnist, writing under the name Ann Landers. She died in 2002 at the age of 83.

An appendectomy is the removal of the appendix. The appendix is a small, blind-ended tube that is attached to the large intestine.
Reasons for Procedure
Reasons for Procedure
An appendectomy is most often done as an emergency operation to treat appendicitis. Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix. It can be caused by an infection or obstruction.
Inflamed Appendix
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Possible Complications
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Damage to other organs
- Reaction to anesthesia
- Blockage of the bowel
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
What to Expect
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor may do the following:
- Physical exam
- Blood and urine tests
- Imaging studies of the abdomen may be done to find the appendix and look for evidence of infection or inflammation, including:
IV fluids and antibiotics will be started right away. Since appendicitis is an emergency condition, surgery is almost always done as soon a possible after the diagnosis is made.
General anesthesia will be used. You will be asleep, with a temporary breathing tube in place.
Description of the Procedure
Three small incisions will be made in your abdomen. A laparoscope (small tool with a camera on the end) will be passed through an incision. Gas will be blown into your abdomen to make it easier for the doctor to see. Other tools will be inserted into the incisions. The camera will send images of your insides to a video screen. These images will be used to find and remove the appendix.
The appendix will be detached from surrounding tissue. Any bleeding from the blood vessels will be stopped. The appendix will then be tied off and cut out. The incisions will be closed with stitches or staples.
After Procedure
The removed tissue is examined by a pathologist.
How Long Will It Take?
1-2 hours
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
Average Hospital Stay
You may go home on the same day, if the surgery was routine. If infection, rupture, or other complications happen, then the stay will be longer.
Post-procedure Care
At the Hospital
You will be asked to get out of bed about 6 hours after surgery.
Your bowels will work more slowly than usual. Chewing gum may help speed the process of your bowel function returning to normal.
Preventing Infection
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping your incisions covered
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
- Washing your hands often and reminding your healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Not allowing others to touch your incision
At Home
Recovery takes about 1-2 weeks.
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
- Rest, and take it easy for 1-2 weeks.
- Do not exercise or do heavy lifting for 1 or more weeks as directed by your doctor.
- Gradually increase activities as approved by your doctor.
Call Your Doctor
Call Your Doctor
Call your doctor if any of these occur:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge at the incision sites
- Cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, or severe nausea or vomiting
- Increased abdominal pain
- Persistent nausea and/or vomiting
- Lightheadedness or fainting
- Passing blood in the stool
If you think you are having an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.
