There are so many reasons to get rashes and skin conditions like this. If you have switched medications, it should have improved if it was related to the medication. The fact that it didnt makes me side with your cardiologist in thinking the cause lies elsewhere. There is a possibility that it is a binder ingredient but I still think it should have improved with changes in medication. It may have been coincidental that it occurred the same time they switched manufacturers. Perhaps you should consult a dermatologist. Any other changes that may have occurred? Changes in soaps, laundry detergent, skin products, ate something different, etc?

J.D. Martinez started the inning with a double. After an out, Castellanos homered on the first pitch.

The team said he will be reevaluated Saturday.Left-hander Blaine Hardy took over for Sanchez, who allowed four runs and 10 hits in 4 2-3 innings.Leading 1-0, Toronto made it 4-0 with a three-run second, thanks in part to a poor defensive inning by Martinez in left field.Munenori Kawasaki hit a leadoff double on a ball that clanged off Martinez's glove.

text: Description Suggest an Edit The Great Northern Historical Trail extends 22 miles between the lakeside town of Somers and the mountain valley community of Kila. The trail follows part of the route of the old Great Northern Railway, which was later bought by Burlington Northern. The railway's iconic logo of the mountain goat standing on a rock is symbolic of the Rocky Mountains through which the rail once operated. The original Great Northern Railway emerged from the Saint Paul and Pacific Railroad and represented the northernmost transcontinental rail in the county. The line, completed in 1893, ran between Saint Paul, Minnesota, and Scenic, Washington.You'll enjoy this paved, albeit remote, trail through Montana's Flathead Valley, offering unmatched views of the surrounding mountains, including the Swan, Mission, Salish and Whitefish ranges. The inverted V-shaped trail begins in Somers, on the northern shore of stunning Flathead Lake—the country's largest natural freshwater lake west of the Continental Divide. Here you'll find a few cafes where you can feed up before your 22-mile journey (or 44 miles if you prefer a round trip!).Heading north, you'll see the mountains of Glacier National Park in the distance (on a clear day) to the northeast. Through a landscape of cultivated fields, pasture and light industrial storehouses, you'll travel toward Kalispell, while paralleling US 93 for a few miles before going underneath it at the creek crossing and taking a more westerly tack.The Great Northern Historical Trail keeps to the west of Kalispell, but if you want to head into downtown, turn east off the trail at Sunnyside Drive and take it to the bend north, where it turns into 5th Avenue W. Follow 5th Avenue to 11th Street and turn right (east), taking it 9 blocks to Main Street (US 93 Bus).Back on the main trail, continue heading in a northwesterly direction. The trail again parallels the US 93 bypass then crosses another creek. The branch heading to the right goes a short distance farther to dead-end at a government building just north of US 2. The left branch goes under US 93 and continues to Kila.The trail parallels US 2 through scattered homes sites and fields and past a small waterfowl reserve. You're already on the downward leg of the inverted V and nearing trail's end at Kila and Smith Lake, another waterfowl reserve. From here, enjoy the mountain scenery before heading back to Somers. Click to read more Parking and Trail Access There are plenty of places of hop on the trail on the western outskirts of Kalispell and along the trail's route. Parking is also available in several places. To park at the southeastern end in Somers, take US 93 south from Kalispell and park at the pullout along the lake across from Sunnyside Avenue. You can also park in the town of Somers off Somers Road (across the road from the Post Office).South of Kalispell, there's space for a few vehicles off Ashley Meadows Road, where the trail crosses the road. West of Kalispell, you can park of US 2 just east of where US 2 intersects Spring Creek Road.In Kila at trail's end, park along Kila Road across from where it intersects Smith Lake Road or a little farther north on Kila Road at a small pull-out area.

SDCC: Marvel's "Doctor Strange" Combats "Death and Pain" in New Trailer
Comic Books, Film
In the pursuit of fortune and fame, sometimes a sailing ship isn't enough. That, apparently, is where Nissan's new limited-edition Serena Highway Star S-Hybrid comes in.
RocketNews24 reports the Japanese automaker has teamed with One Piece to release the "Thousand Serena," a nod to the Straw Hat Pirates' vessel Thousand Sunny (which replaced the destroyed Going Merry). The wrap mimics the ship's design, and features Monkey D. Luffy and other characters from Eiichiro Oda's bestselling manga and the hit anime series it inspired. The hubcaps are a particularly nice touch.
To celebrate its third anniversary of going digital, Shonen Jump is offering four issues for free in the next four weeks, as well as a discounted price of $19.99 for a one-year subscription. The free issues are available via the Shonen Jump website and the Viz Manga and Weekly Shonen Jump iOS and Android apps.
The nice thing about an anthology is the variety, and the Jan. 19 issue, the first to be offered for free, has a good mix of stories. There's One Piece, the long-running pirate tale; if you're not particular about understanding the details of the plot, you can jump right in and enjoy the kinetic, cartoony battle scenes.
Toriko is another classic Shonen Jump story, about a group of "gourmet hunters" who travel the world looking for foods that are rare, hard to get, and uniquely delicious. It's an odd combination of battle and foodie manga, and it's fun to see big, over-muscled guys get all weepy over a salad, as happens in this week's chapter, or watch a gourmet dig into a bowl of "Ojiya-style eyeball porridge." It's amazingly imaginative, and well worth a read.
Publishing | The French satire magazine Charlie Hebdo will be published next week, to demonstrate that "stupidity will not win," according to columnist Patrick Pelloux. Ten of the magazine's staff members were among those killed Wednesday when three armed men attacked their Paris headquarters, apparently because Charlie Hebdo published cartoons mocking the Prophet Muhammad.

Over the past 16 years, One Piece has planted its flag on publishing, animation, video games, fashion and even the kabuki stage. And by March, the Straw Hat Pirates will have conquered theme parks as well.
Announced in July, Tokyo One Piece Tower will open its doors March 13 in Tokyo Tower's Foot Town, home to the Tokyo Aquarium, Tokyo Tower Wax Museum, stores, restaurants and more. Although there's a One Piece-themed amusement park in Taiwan, this will be the first to open in Japan.
The Straw Hat Pirates of the smash-hit manga One Piece have been for television, film, video games and prose, and next year they'll make the leap to the kabuki stage.
According to The Japan Times, the announcement was made over the weekend by publisher Shueisha, which will partner with movie company Shochiku to stage the production. One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda will supervise the adaptation.
Passings | Bermuda-based cartoonist Peter Woolcock died Wednesday after being struck by a car as he was walking to the office of The Royal Gazette to deliver his weekly cartoon. He was 88. Born and raised on a farm in Argentina, Woolcock served on a British tank crew in World War II (during which time he also kept a sketchbook) and worked as a cartoonist and illustrator for almost 60 years, first for children's magazines in the United Kingdom and then, after moving in 1981 to Bermuda, as an editorial cartoonist. Both his editors and the politicians he depicted have kind things to say in this lengthy obituary, which notes that his final cartoon was about San Diego losing the bid to host the America's Cup. [The Royal Gazette]
Creators | Candorville cartoonist Darrin Bell talks about the political cartoons he drew in response to the non-indictments of the police officers in the Michael Brown and Eric Garner cases, as well as his own experiences as a black man who got "the talk" when he was 6 or 7 years old and will some day have to give it to his own son.

Publishing | Jim Zubkavich updates his post from last year about the long-term sales and profitability of his series Skullkickers. There are some interesting angles to this, including the cost of his deluxe collected editions, the boost he got from his "reboot," and the importance of digital sales in the long term: "Since there's no print run or storage limit with digital they continue to build profitability over the long haul (particularly with the early issues as new readers sample the series during comiXology sales). Many issues that lost money in their initial print release have been able to make back their losses thanks to digital." [Zub Tales]
Manga | Eiichiro Oda's One Piece, the bestselling manga in Japan, is getting a spinoff: Starting with the January issue, which ships in December, the manga magazine Saikyo Jump will carry a series focusing on Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates. There doesn't seem to be any information yet on who the creators will be. [Anime News Network]
Publishing | In a business-oriented interview, Mark Waid talks about the strategy behind his digital comics site Thrillbent, especially its appeal to diverse groups of readers. The key is flexibility, Waid said, in terms of platforms and content. His goal is to make the comics readable on any digital device, which he says is not difficult once the site is set up. In terms of content, he says, "Pay attention to the audience, let them tell you who you're clearly not serving, and go after them." [The Wall Street Journal]
Comics | Vincent Zurzolo of Metropolis Collectibles explains why he and his partner Stephen Fishler were willing to pay a record $3.2 million last month for a pristine copy of Action Comics #1: "We feel very confidently this was a good price and that we will be able to sell this for a profit. We really believe in the strength of the comic book market and that it has a long way to go." Zurzolo also talks about how he built up his business, starting out selling comics at conventions at the age of 15. [The Hollywood Reporter]
Legal | More trouble for Square Enix over the gamer manga Hi Score Girl: Publication was suspended last month following allegations the series, which runs in the Japanese magazine Monthly Big Gangan, had used characters owned by the game company SNK Playmore without permission. Now it turns out Square Enix asked permission from Sega to use characters from its Virtua Fighter game, but then went ahead and published the story before permission was granted. Sega executives "strongly objected" but took no further action and did grant the permission, reasoning it would be good publicity for the game. [Anime News Network]
Legal | A South Korea court has ruled an exhibition devoted to One Piece can be held as planned after it was abruptly canceled earlier this month following allegations that Eiichiro Oda's popular pirate manga contains images that resemble the Rising Sun flag, considered a symbol of Japanese imperialism in South Korea. The company staging the One Piece show, which includes life-sized statues, rare figures and Oda's sketches, asked the court to step in after the War Memorial of Korea in Seoul pulled the plug on the event just days before its scheduled July 12 opening. The court found that One Piece can't be considered to "[hail] Japanese imperialism" simply because it depicts a flag reminiscent of the Rising Sun; and even if those images are of the Rising Sun flag, it's mainly shown in a negative light. [The Asahi Shimbun]
Events | An extensive exhibit in Taipei, Taiwan, devoted to Eiichiro Oda's One Piece manga and anime has drawn more than 100,000 visitors since its opening on July 1. Overseen by Oda, the exhibition is the first of its kind outside of Japan, where it was held from 2012 to 2013 to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the insanely popular manga. "One Piece Exhibition: Original Art x Movies x Experience Pirate King Taiwan" runs through Sept. 22. [Kotaku]
More than 500 volumes of such top-selling manga as One Piece, Naruto and Death Note debuted today on comiXology as part of a new North American distribution agreement with Viz Media.
The publisher, which already had its own self-contained app for multiple platforms, brought its digital catalog to the Amazon Kindle in October; just days later, comiXology announced a deal to distribute titles from Viz Media Europe and its subsidiary Kazé to French-speaking European countries. Amazon purchased comiXology in April.
Manga | Hajime Isayama's Attack on Titan has knocked longtime bestseller One Piece from the top of Japan's manga charts. Market research firm Oricon reports that Attack on Titan, which has 13 volumes in print, sold 8,342,268 copies in the first half of the year, making it the bestselling series in Japan. One Piece, which has long held that title, sold 4,936,855 copies of 73 volumes, but it did top the charts for single-volume sales, with 2,825,339 copies sold of the latest volume. The numbers cover the period from mid-November to mid-May. [Anime News Network]
Publishing | DC Entertainment Co-Publisher Jim Lee talks about his history with Batman in advance of DC's 75th-anniversary celebration for the character. [Asbury Park Press]
Not that we necessarily required an further evidence of the popularity of One Piece, but now comes word that with the release of its 74th volume, Eiichiro Oda's pirate manga has sold more than 310 million copies in Japan alone.
It's worth noting that it was only November when Shueisha Inc. and Viz Media took out newspaper ads trumpeting the 300-million copy milestone (with another 45 million outside of Japan). Earlier that same month, it was revealed that One Piece has sold 130.15 million copies in Japan just since 2009, the year that market research firm Oricon began reporting book sales.
So what's the secret behind the success of the world's bestselling manga? Its sometimes-manic mix of action, comedy and sorrow, a seemingly magic formula the 39-year-old Oda attributes his short attention span. "The thing is, I get bored easily," he told The Japan Times last fall. "So if my manga was just about the action, or comedy, or tear-jerking moments, I would get bored. I change the style of the series to keep up my motivation to draw. […] Humans can only come up with new ideas when they've reached their limits. When I finish a manuscript, I am completely exhausted."
Oda, who's been drawing One Piece since 1997, just announced that he's placing the manga on hiatus for two weeks while he has his tonsils removed. "Since I'm having this surgery anyways, I plan to have a bazooka installed on my shoulder," he said in a message to fans. "I'll be back with my body stronger, so I can clear my workload in the latter half of this year. I'll be right back, so please come play with me again."
Retailing | Finally breaking its silence regarding the feud with Hachette over sales terms, Amazon acknowledged it's buying less print inventory and "safety stock" from the publisher and is no longer taking pre-orders for its titles. And while Amazon conceded that "Hachette has operated in good faith and we admire the company and its executives," the retail giant said "we are not optimistic that this will be resolved soon." The company also recognized the affect the dispute may have on authors, revealing it offered to fund 50 percent of an author pool to help mitigate the impact. Hachette responded, saying it was glad Amazon has admitted its actions have an effect on authors: "We will spare no effort to resume normal business relations with Amazon—which has been a great partner for years — but under terms that value appropriately for the years ahead the author's unique role in creating books, and the publisher's role in editing, marketing, and distributing them, at the same time that it recognizes Amazon's importance as a retailer and innovator."

Utah Utes football: Sun shines on Utes in comeback overtime win over Georgia Tech
The outburst, capped by a PAT from Moore, made it 24-10.
It stayed that way until the exciting conclusion.
"There's no quit in these guys," Whittingham said. "They kept believing, coaches kept believing, and we found a way to win in the end."
The contest pitting teams from the Pac-12 and the Atlantic Coast Conference got off to a surprising start. Instead of a highly anticipated ground game — featuring Georgia Tech's spread option (No. 3 in the nation with 316.83 rushing yards per game) and White, the Pac-12's No. 2 rusher — both teams came out throwing.
The Yellow Jackets went to the air first, completing a 43-yard pass from quarterback Tevin Washington to Stephen Hill. The play, though, was nullified by offensive pass interference and eventually led to a punt.
Utah's offense also came out pass happy. Five of the Utes' seven plays on their opening series were throws from Hays. The last one was a 1-yard scoring strike to fullback Shawn Asiata with 9:54 remaining in the first quarter. Petersen then added the PAT to make it 7-0.
Georgia Tech responded with a 58-yard run by Preston Lyons to move into scoring position on the ensuing possession. The Yellow Jackets came up empty, though, when Moore's 42-yard field goal attempt caromed off the left goal post.
Things changed, however, early in the second quarter when Lyons rambled 36 yards for a touchdown as Georgia Tech evened the score at 7-7.
The Yellow Jackets had an opportunity to untie the score with just under three minutes to go, but Moore once again missed a 42-yard kick. This one was wide left.
Utah answered with a scoring drive to regain the lead at 10-7 with 14.6 seconds left in the half. A 31-yard reverse play from Hays to White to Reggie Dunn put the Utes on the Georgia Tech 8. Petersen wound up concluding the series with a 25-yard field goal that went through after hitting the right upright.
The Yellow Jackets managed to knot the score early in the third quarter, however, on a 32-yard field goal by Moore.
"It was a heck of a football game and you have to take your hat off to Utah for the way the came back in the game," said Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson. "We had a lot of opportunities and we just couldn't capitalize. We didn't make enough plays."

Some people may not like the white dots on login screen of ubuntu 12.10, But i really love it , is there any way to add these dots desktop also and is there any way to remove these from the desktop(after addition of the dots in desktop)??
Just what you need, to add that 'dots' to picture you want, and after that just set that image as background image in login screen. To do that I have googled some links:
From second link I guess this way must work.
sudo xhost +SI:localuser:lightdm sudo su lightdm -s /bin/bash gsettings set com.canonical.unity-greeter draw-grid true
This will may work too.

Two incidents cause Geelong freeway closure
Congestion on the Princes Freeway on Friday morning after two incidents - a truck crash and a double-car smash - see city-bound traffic diverted.
All Burnley Tunnel lanes have been re-opened, following this morning's closure of two lanes after an over-height truck hit overhead signs.
CityLink spokeswoman Suzanne Waddell said traffic should soon return to normal.
Meanwhile, the Princes Freeway is open again following the closure of all inbound lanes after two collisions in Melbourne's west.
Victoria Police spokeswoman Kate Fawcett said police attended a two-car collision in Werribee.
She said one of the cars, which was travelling towards Geelong, ''crossed over the median strip and crashed into another car, which was Melbourne bound''.
Ambulance Victoria spokesman Paul Bentley said two people suffered minor injuries in the collision, and one person was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital.
He said that in an earlier incident, a truck rammed into a tree between Duncans and Sneydes Roads in Werribee. One person was treated at the scene for minor injuries, but was not taken to hospital.

What is Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease?
Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an inherited disorder characterized by the abnormal growth of both benign and cancerous tumors and cysts in many parts of the body. Tumors usually first appear in young adulthood. The types of tumors associated with VHL disease include hemangioblastomas (slow-growing tumors of the central nervous system); kidney cysts and clear cell renal cell carcinoma; pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors; pheochromocytomas (noncancerous tumors of the adrenal glands); and endolymphatic sac tumors. VHL disease is caused by a mutation in the VHL gene and is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. Early detection and treatment of VHL disease is important, and usually involves surgical removal of tumors.[1][2]
Last updated: 2/2/2016
What are the signs and symptoms of Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease?
Symptoms of Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease vary among patients and depend on the size and location of the tumors.[3][4] Hemangioblastomas that develop in the brain and spinal cord can cause headaches, vomiting, weakness, and a loss of muscle coordination (ataxia). Hemangioblastomas can also occur in the light-sensitive tissue that lines the back of the eye (the retina). These tumors, which are also called retinal angiomas, may cause vision loss. Pheochromocytomas affect the adrenal glands, which are small hormone-producing glands located on top of each kidney. These tumors often cause no symptoms, but in some cases they can produce an excess of hormones that cause dangerously high blood pressure. About 10 percent of people with VHL disease develop endolymphatic sac tumors, which are noncancerous tumors in the inner ear. These growths can cause hearing loss in one or both ears, as well as ringing in the ears (tinnitus) and problems with balance.[5][6] Individuals with VHL disease are also at a higher risk than normal for certain types of cancer, especially kidney cancer.[4] Renal cell carcinoma occurs in about 70% of individuals with VHL disease by age 60 and is the leading cause of mortality.[5]
Last updated: 6/9/2015
What causes Von Hippel-Lindau disease?
Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is caused by a mutation in the VHL gene. This gene is a tumor suppressor gene, which helps to control cell growth. Mutations in the VHL gene lead to a lack of regulation of cell growth and survival, allowing cells to grow and divide uncontrollably, forming the tumors that are associated with VHL disease.[2]
Last updated: 2/2/2016
How is von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease diagnosed?
The diagnosis of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease can be made based on specific clinical criteria (signs and symptoms), or when molecular genetic testing reveals a mutation in the VHL gene.
Tests that may be used to establish a clinical diagnosis include:
Tests that may be used to establish a clinical diagnosis include:
- MRI of the brain and spinal cord
- fundoscopy
- ultrasound examination or MRI of the abdomen
- blood and urinary catecholamine metabolites.[1]
Last updated: 2/2/2016
What laboratories are offering molecular genetic testing for Von Hippel-Lindau disease?
GeneTests.org lists the names of clinical laboratories that are performing genetic testing for VHL disease. To view the contact information for the clinical laboratories, conducting testing on VHL syndrome click on GeneTests.org. Please note: Most of the laboratories listed through GeneTests do not accept direct contact from patients and their families; therefore, if you are interested in learning more, you will need to work with a health care provider.
Last updated: 5/20/2013
I have a number of symptoms, could I have Von Hippel-Lindau disease?
Diagnoses and recommendations for medical management cannot be given over the Internet; only your personal health care provider can help you make these determinations. However, if you suspect that you may have VHL disease, we recommend that you speak with your health care provider about your concerns. Additionally, because VHL disease is a genetic condition, you may want to meet with a genetics professional for a genetics consultation. Such a professional can review your medical and family history to determine whether it is indicative of VHL disease, order appropriate testing to confirm a diagnosis, and more. To view a list of online resources that can assist you in locating a genetics professional near you, please visit the Genetic Services section.

"Pisa - Not just the Square of Miracles" Pisa by csordila
Pisa Travel Guide: 1,473 reviews and 4,173 photos
is a picturesque little chapel on the train station-side of the Arno River before crossing over to see the Leaning Tower.
Southeast from the Campo dei Miracoli before crossing the Arno, you reach the Piazza dei Cavalieri, where the Military Order of the Knights of St. Stephen was established by Cosimo I de Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany in the 14th Century.
On the huge square two large buildings - Palazzo dei Cavalieri, once the knights' military training quarters, Palazzo dell' Orologio - and a church - National Church of Saint Stephen of the Knights - were constructed for the use of the Order. The Order still exist but no longer for military purposes.
Palazzo dell' Orologio once used as jail, has a creepy story from the 13th century. A count of Pisa was condemned to death by starvation together with his sons. The story tells that he has eaten one of his children while in that prison.
Nowadays, the square is also internationally known for the University located in Palazzo dei Cavalieri. read more
Pisa is not a tourist town.
Hard to believe it, if you see the crowded Piazza dei Miracoli. But it is a fact, outside the main attraction of the city, not too many tourist are interested in staying here for a longer period of time. And Pisa itself does absolutely nothing to attract the tourists and invite them to stay.
The Pisani have a bad reputation in Tuscany: ?better a corpse in the house than a Pisan at the door? says a famous Tuscan proverb.
Therefore, unlike other Tuscan towns, here you have a higher chance to see the daily life of local people, that is more authentic than that of Florence or Siena.
Though Pisa is a small town, but one with an attitude, having a colourful history of belligerence and conquests. The typical Pisan is generaly unpretentious but - who knows, why - hostile to all those who are pretentious.. read more
- Pros:Pisa is not touristy town
- Cons:Impolite people.

Live and learn... Thanks for your page, Laszlo !
I always thought Pisa was touristy - but apparently not so...maybe the people got tired of tourists visiting too much...but you are right, it would not be a complete PISA tour if one does not go up the tower...my grandma and aunt were lucky they went up!
I didn't know there are so many other bell towers in Italy that are also leaning for one reason or another. Maybe I'll go climb one of the other ones.
Nice page. I have to visit Pisa again soon. Ciao!

PSA: Limbo releasing today in US for PS3, Japanese release date confirmed
In case you haven't received the memo, Playdead's launching Limbo on PS3 in the US today. Europe will get the game, which has been a 360 exclusive for a year until now, tomorrow as part of the PS Store update. There'll also be a demo in both regions who want to try it first. But the developer also announced today that it'll launch on PSN in Asia and Japan on August 4, two days after its worldwide release on Steam on August 2.
Hit up our interview with Playdead CEO Dino Patti on the game's PC and triple release here.

While this might sound a bit odd, XML sitemaps is blank if you have no pages or posts.
I recognise it is not usual to have not even a single page or post and still want a sitemap, but I use Elegant Themes' Convertible theme, which means I have a single landing page generated by the Theme, which is not based on any other post or page.
The work around for this problem is simple - create a dummy page, and disable it from the XML sitemaps under the advanced setting. Voila, I now have a site map listing a single page - my home page in the root directory, and it works perfectly. So this isn't exactly a major problem, but I wanted to let the developers know this is a potential issue, and anyone else struggling with this can use this workaround.
FYI, I'm using WordPress 3.4.2 in Network / Multisite mode, and the latest WordPress SEO plugin, 184.108.40.206

What's Good for the Goose....Amnesty International Blasts US Human Rights Record
Here is the excerpt from foreword written by AI Secretary General Irene Kahn that aims directly at the US:
In 1973 AI published its first report on torture. It found that: '"torture thrives on secrecy and impunity. Torture rears its head when the legal barriers against it are barred. Torture feeds on discrimination and fear. Torture gains ground when official condemnation of it is less than absolute." The pictures of detainees in US custody in Abu Ghraib, Iraq, show that what was true 30 years ago remains true today. Despite the near-universal outrage generated by the photographs coming out of Abu Ghraib, and the evidence suggesting that such practices are being applied to other prisoners held by the USA in Afghanistan, Guantanamo and elsewhere, neither the US administration nor the US Congress has called for a full and independent investigation.
Instead, the US government has gone to great lengths to restrict the application of the Geneva Conventions and to "re-define" torture. It has sought to justify the use of coercive interrogation techniques, the practice of holding "ghost detainees" (people in unacknowledged incommunicado detention) and the "rendering" or handing over of prisoners to third countries known to practise torture. The detention facility at Guantanamo Bay has become the gulag of our times, entrenching the practice of arbitrary and indefinite detention in violation of international law. Trials by military commissions have made a mockery of justice and due process.
The USA, as the unrivalled political, military and economic hyper-power, sets the tone for governmental behaviour worldwide. When the most powerful country in the world thumbs its nose at the rule of law and human rights, it grants a licence to others to commit abuse with impunity and audacity. From Israel to Uzbekistan, Egypt to Nepal, governments have openly defied human rights and international humanitarian law in the name of national security and "counter-terrorism."
In the section on the Americas, AI discusses the death penalty in the US (note that this paragraph was drafter prior to the Roper v. Simmons decision) and the failure of the US to provide notice to foreign arrestees of their rights under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations:
The USA continued to flout international human rights standards by inflicting the death penalty on child offenders, people with mental disabilities, defendants without access to effective legal representation, and foreign nationals denied their consular rights. In 2004, 59 executions were carried out by a capital justice system characterized by arbitrariness, discrimination and error. Scheduled executions of a number of child offenders were stayed pending a Supreme Court ruling on the case of a death row prisoner aged 17 at the time of the crime.
It's not all about the US, of course, though US failures make for a better headline on the press release. Among other highlights: AI criticizes the failure of the world community to act in Darfur and takes up the issue of human rights reform at the UN, noting that changes to the UN human rights machinery are needed "urgently and radically." AI also criticizes acts of terrorism and the terrorists who have "taken humanity to new depths of bestiality and brutality." Its central mission, however, is to take on state power -- particularly those states that would justify torture of any sort or water down definitions of humane treatment -- in defense of individual rights and the rule of law. AI might not be the last word on where the balance between security and rights should be struck (the report is least effective where it comments on Security Council practices and reform, nonetheless an important source of facts on who is falling short.

Privacy Policy and Terms of Use
At the National September 11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center Foundation, Inc. (the "Foundation"), we understand that privacy is important, and we are strongly committed to protecting the privacy of our donors and visitors to our website. The following information is designed to help you better understand the information we gather from our site and through our services, how we handle the information once we gather it, whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to correct, the information. Please note that this Privacy Policy applies only to this site and not necessarily to other companies' or organizations' websites to which we link. By visiting this site, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Information Collection and Use
Our primary goals in collecting personal information are to provide you with a smooth, efficient experience, and to send you updates and other information with regard to the activities of the Foundation.
Aggregate Data
In general, we automatically gather certain usage information, such as the number and frequency of visitors to this site. This information may include which URL you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, and your IP address. We use such data only in the aggregate. This collective data helps us determine how much our visitors use parts of the site, and do internal research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand and serve you. In addition, we may aggregate data and disclose such information in a nonpersonally identifiable manner to advertisers and other third parties for marketing and promotional purposes. In these situations, we do not disclose any information that could be used to identify you personally.
Personally Identifiable Information
If you volunteer to make a donation, we will request personally identifiable information about you, such as your name, address, phone number and email address. We seek such information to facilitate your donations and communicate with you about them. In addition, we may use such information to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to analyze site usage, improve our content and product offerings, and customize our site's content, layout and services. If you agree by clicking "yes" when prompted, we may use information to contact you and deliver information to you, such as through email updates.
Unless you specify that a gift be "anonymous" or otherwise request that your name not be listed, we list the names of donors who give $500 and up in some brochures and benefit programs to recognize the generosity of those who have given to our cause. We do not sell our donor lists to anyone, nor do we include them in any direct mail solicitations.
We may use internal service providers to facilitate our services, and therefore, may provide some of your personally identifiable information directly to them. In addition, we employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf, such as sending postal mail and email, removing repetitive information from donor lists, analyzing data, processing credit card payments and providing customer service. These companies and individuals have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for any other purpose.

You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, although in that case you may not be able to use certain features on our site, and you may be required to re-enter your password more frequently during a session. In addition, a number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit websites anonymously.
Cookies help us to provide customized services and information that is targeted to your interests.

Additionally, you may encounter cookies or other similar devices on our site that are placed by third parties. We do not control the use of cookies by third parties.
We care about the security of your transactions and use standard industry practices to safeguard your credit card information. We use high-grade encryption and the secure https protocol to communicate with your browser software, which guards against interception of the credit card information you give us. We also employ several different security techniques to protect your personally identifiable information from unauthorized access by users inside and outside the organization. You should be aware, however, that "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet; third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. You should not expect that your personally identifiable information will remain private.
Sharing Information
As a matter of policy, we will not sell, share or rent information about you in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. However, we may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances. We cooperate with law enforcement inquiries, as well as other third parties, to enforce laws such as those regarding intellectual property rights, fraud and other personal rights. We can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement or other activity that is illegal or may expose us, or you, to liability.
Policy Towards Children
We are concerned about the safety and privacy of children who use the Internet. Although we encourage children to learn more about our organization and opportunities to serve their communities, we encourage that this be done with parental supervision. Consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without prior verifiable parental consent. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personally identifiable information without verifiable parental consent, we will use our best efforts to remove such information from our files. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with personally identifiable information without verifiable parental consent, he or she should contact Angela Sheridan at 212-312-8800.

To the extent that you disclose your information to others, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of such information. We do not control the privacy policies of others. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others.
Privacy Policy Changes
We may, from time to time, make changes to this policy, based on your comments and our need to reflect accurately our data collection and disclosure practices. If we make any substantial changes in the way we use your personal information, we will notify you by posting a prominent announcement on our website.

The Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation. If I were an atheist, and believed in blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations.
John Adams (1735 - 1826)

President James E. Faust has noted that in contrast to earlier, God-fearing times' a new civil religion seems to be developing in America. He said: The civil religion I refer to is a secular religion. It has no moral absolutes. It is nondenominational. It is non-theistic. It is politically focused. It is antagonistic to religion. It rejects the historic religious traditions of America. It feels strange. If this trend continues, non-belief will be more honored than belief. While all beliefs must be protected, are atheism, agnosticism, cynicism, and moral relativism to be more safeguarded and valued than Christianity, Judaism, and the tenets of Islam, which hold that there is a Supreme Being and that mortals are accountable to him? If so, this would, in my opinion, place America in great moral jeopardy.

Criticism alone can sever the root of materialism, fatalism, atheism, free-thinking, fanaticism, and superstition, which can be injurious universally; as well as of idealism and skepticism, which are dangerous chiefly to the Schools, and hardly allow of being handed on to the public.

If we are honest, we freely admit that the Christian system involves difficulties; but so does every other system. No thoughtful person gives up a position merely because he finds difficulties in it; he does not abandon it until he is able to find other and alternative systems with fewer difficulties. . . . I learned from my professors of philosophy. . . that, while philosophy might not provide me with a watertight intellectual defense of the Christian faith, it would, if used aright, help me to reveal the weakness of its enemies. By careful analysis it is possible to see that there are glaring weaknesses and non-sequiturs in atheism, naturalism, positivism, scientism, and psychologism. The Christian must be a fighter, for he is always under attack. The Church will not be as strong as it ought to be until each local pastor uses his precious freedom from outside employment in order to become a scholarly participant in the intellectual struggle of our day and generation.

Are You Dying Over Astrowifey's CTA Nails?
Even though we've pretty much been all around the nail-art world and back again, once in awhile we're still rocked by a clever, creative, totally profesh manicure. Today's stunner? CTA nails by local nail artist Astrowifey. The nails depict the Chicago Transit Authority map we can all read in our sleep, making a once-routine commute a lot more fun. You can book Astrowifey for pretty much any nail-art creation you can dream up, or you can leave it to her. She uses Shellac, too, so you can love your crazy-good mani for as long as possible.
