Your skin is your largest organ. If the skin of a typical 150-pound (68-kilogram) adult male were stretched out flat, it would cover about 2 square yards (1.7 square meters) and weigh about 9 pounds (4 kilograms).
Skin protects the network of muscles, bones, nerves, blood vessels, and everything else inside our bodies. Eyelids have the thinnest skin, the soles of our feet the thickest.
Hair is actually a modified type of skin. Hair grows everywhere on the human body except the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and lips. Hair grows more quickly in summer than winter, and more slowly at night than during the day.
Like hair, nails are a type of modified skin — and they're not just for beauty. Nails protect the sensitive tips of our fingers and toes. Human nails are not necessary for living, but they do provide support for the tips of the fingers and toes, protect them from injury, and aid in picking up small objects. Without them, we'd have a hard time scratching an itch or untying a knot. Nails can be an indicator of a person's general health, and illness often affects their growth.
Skin is essential to a person's survival. It forms a barrier that prevents harmful substances and microorganisms from entering the body. It protects body tissues against injury. Our skin also controls the loss of life-sustaining fluids like blood and water, helps us regulate body temperature through perspiration, and protects us from the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays.
Without the nerve cells in our skin, we couldn't feel warmth, cold, or other sensations. Our skin can also respond to situations and emotions: Muscles in the skin called erector pili contract to make the hairs on our skin stand up straight (goosebumps) when we are cold or frightened — for insulation and protection.
Every square inch of skin contains thousands of cells and hundreds of sweat glands, oil glands, nerve endings, and blood vessels. Skin is made up of three layers: the epidermis (pronounced: ep-ih-dur-mis), dermis, and the subcutaneous (pronounced: sub-kyoo-tay-nee-us) tissue.
The upper layer of our skin, the epidermis, is the tough, protective outer layer. It is about as thick as a sheet of paper over most parts of the body. The epidermis has four layers of cells that are constantly flaking off and being renewed. In these four layers are three special types of cells:
Because the cells in the epidermis are completely replaced about every 28 days, cuts and scrapes heal quickly.
Below the epidermis is the next layer of our skin, the dermis, which is made up of blood vessels, nerve endings, and connective tissue. The dermis nourishes the epidermis.
Without certain molecules in the dermis, our skin wouldn't stretch when we bend or reposition itself when we straighten up. These two types of fibers in the dermis, collagen and elastin, help the skin stretch and reposition itself when we move. Collagen is strong and hard to stretch and elastin, as its name suggests, is elastic. In older people, some of the elastin-containing fibers degenerate, which is one reason why the skin looks wrinkled (most wrinkles are caused by sun exposure, though!).
The dermis also contains a person's sebaceous glands. These glands, which surround and empty into our hair follicles and pores, produce an oil called sebum (pronounced: see-bum) that lubricates the skin and hair. Sebaceous glands are found mostly in the skin on the face, upper back, shoulders, and chest.
Most of the time, the sebaceous glands make the right amount of sebum. As a person's body begins to mature and develop during the teenage years, though, hormones stimulate the sebaceous glands to make more sebum. This can lead to acne when pores become clogged by too much sebum and too many dead skin cells. Later in life, these glands produce less sebum, which contributes to dry skin in older people.
The bottom layer of our skin, the subcutaneous tissue, is made up of connective tissue, sweat glands, blood vessels, and cells that store fat. This layer helps protect the body from blows and other injuries and helps it hold in body heat.
There are two types of sweat-producing glands. The eccrine (pronounced: eh-krun) glands are found everywhere in our bodies, although they are mostly in the forehead, palms, and soles of the feet. By producing sweat, these glands help regulate body temperature, and waste products are excreted through them.
The other type of sweat-producing gland, the apocrine glands, develop at puberty and are concentrated in the armpits and pubic region. The sweat from the apocrine glands is thicker than that produced by the eccrine glands. Although this sweat doesn't smell, when it mixes with bacteria on the skin's surface, it can cause body odor.
A normal, healthy adult secretes about 1 pint (about half a liter) of sweat daily, but this may be increased by physical activity, fever, or a hot environment.
The hair on our heads isn't just there for looks. It keeps us warm by preserving heat. The hair in our nose, ears, and around our eyes protects these sensitive areas of the body from dust and other small particles. Eyebrows and eyelashes protect our eyes by decreasing the amount of light and particles that go into them. The fine hair that covers our bodies provides warmth and protects our skin. Hair also cushions the body against injury.
Human hair consists of the hair shaft, which projects from the skin's surface, and the root, a soft thickened bulb at the base of the hair embedded in the skin. The root ends in the hair bulb. The hair bulb sits in a sac-like pit in the skin called the follicle, from which the hair grows.
At the bottom of the follicle is the papilla, where hair growth actually takes place. The papilla contains an artery that nourishes the root of the hair. As cells multiply and produce keratin to harden the structure, they are pushed up the follicle and through the skin's surface as a shaft of hair. Each hair has three layers: the medulla at the center, which is soft; the cortex, which surrounds the medulla and is the main part of the hair; and the cuticle, the hard outer layer that protects the shaft.
Hair grows by forming new cells at the base of the root. These cells multiply to form a rod of tissue in the skin. The rods of cells move upward through the skin as new cells form beneath them. As they move up, they are cut off from their supply of nourishment and start to form a hard protein called keratin in a process called keratinization (pronounced: ker-uh-tuh-nuh-zay-shun). As this process occurs, the hair cells die. The dead cells and keratin form the shaft of the hair.
Each hair grows about 1/4 inch (about 6 millimeters) every month and keeps on growing for up to 6 years. The hair then falls out and another grows in its place. The length of a person's hair depends on the length of the growing phase of the follicle. Follicles are active for 2 to 6 years; they rest for about 3 months after that. A person becomes bald if the scalp follicles become inactive and no longer produce new hair. Thick hair grows out of large follicles; narrow follicles produce thin hair.
The color of a person's hair is determined by the amount and distribution of melanin in the cortex of each hair (the same melanin that's found in the epidermis). Hair also contains a yellow-red pigment; people who have blonde or red hair have only a small amount of melanin in their hair. Hair becomes gray when people age because pigment no longer forms.
Nails grow out of deep folds in the skin of the fingers and toes. As epidermal cells below the nail root move up to the surface of the skin, they increase in number, and those closest to the nail root become flattened and pressed tightly together. Each cell is transformed into a thin plate; these plates are piled in layers to form the nail. As with hair, nails are formed by keratinization. When the nail cells accumulate, the nail is pushed forward.
The skin below the nail is called the matrix. The larger part of the nail, the nail plate, looks pink because of the network of tiny blood vessels in the underlying dermis. The whitish crescent-shaped area at the base of the nail is called the lunula.
Fingernails grow about three or four times as quickly as toenails. Like hair, nails grow more rapidly in summer than in winter. If a nail is torn off, it will regrow if the matrix is not severely injured. White spots on the nail are sometimes due to temporary changes in growth rate.
Some of the things that can affect the skin, nails, and hair are described below.
Medical experts use the term dermatitis (pronounced: dur-mah-ty-tus) to refer to any inflammation that might be associated with swelling, itching, and redness of the skin. There are many types of dermatitis, including:
In addition to these diseases and conditions, the skin can be injured in a number of ways. Minor scrapes, cuts, and bruises heal quickly on their own, but other injuries — severe cuts and burns, for example — require medical treatment.

The Japanese Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA) is currently holding public meetings to review "stress tests" conducted on Japan's nuclear plants, of which only three of 54 are currently online. However, it has been criticised for rushing the process, not listening to critical opinion of the reactor restart process, and for members of its review committee accepting money from the nuclear industry. 02/08/2012

Growing up among the Live Oaks, Spanish Moss, and Stained Glass Windows of South Louisiana, I knew at a very young age that I was an artist. My inspiration comes from Mother Nature and Human Nature and the Spirit in all things. At 52 years of age, that child inside of me is still creating my artwork. Until computers were the norm, I drew and painted in every medium imaginable. I now use Photoshop, Painter, Vue de Esprit, and Poser as well as my own photography to create my images, sometimes, pixel by pixel, with the same amount of hard work, love and obsessiveness as the artist that uses a brush or pen. Often I will use found objects or I will make objects to scan or apply directly ,in the case of Collage, The computer has become a valuable tool for me and it allows the wildest dreams of my imagination to see the light of day.
I am very excited about the opportunity to show my work and offer it for sale on ImageKind. I hope you enjoy my work as much as I have enjoyed creating it.
If you would like to contact me about my work you can go to my contact page.

Quickies: The Ones We Missed
Some time ago, Bowie J. Poag wrote in with a link to the System 26 GUI Component Stockpile, a large public repository of raw materials such as individual sounds (clicks, beeps, bells and whistles) and images (buttons, textures, pixmaps, etc) specifically geared for use within GUIs. This may to be a good place to start if one were building a new KDE theme. And speaking of themes, kde.themes.org seems to be back although there does not appear to be any recent submissions. Are KDE users simply not interested in themes these days? Also a while back, rsk wrote in with this news: "Wow, it looks like the same guy that offered up all the suggestions for integration of the KDE PIM features has put his money where his mouth is. He is offering $350 and any product from Tux Store to the developer(s) that implements the features he's asked for in his story." I'm unaware of the current status of this contest, but any KDE developer interested can check out the full offer and contact the author directly for details. Finally, Robin Sharf wrote in to inform us of a port of Konqueror/Embedded to BeOS (with screenshot). Update: 09/07 6:00 PM by N: Also managed to miss this one: The first releases (since the AOL fiasco) of Kinkatta are out. Go to the page for a bigger update and the full skinny. On the plus side, KDE support is (literally) looking good but Benjamin would like to step down as maintainer and is seeking someone to fill in those shoes.
Themes.org situation
From the latest news item at http://www.themes.org/:
We are currently developing a new site, official release date is August 22nd.
And until then we are not accepting any new themes. Why? So we can use all our time focusing on the new site :o) Look forward to it, it's going to be loaded with new cool features.
Apparently, the August 22nd hasn't been met :-(
Anyway, this messages explains why there have been no new themes at http://kde.themes.org/

Re: Themes.org situation
Good, themes are just annoying. Mosfets styles are good enough.
By reihal at Fri, 2001/09/07 - 5:00am
Re: Themes.org situation
That notice has been up for a while (August 4) -- if you read the discussion, you'll see some editors explaining that it's taking longer than they expected and they're making progress. Themes.org is not the most, errrr, professionally run site, despite its VA Linux ownership.
I'm not sure why this bit was posted today. There doesn't seem to have been any movement at all recently. At least you can still download my WindowMaker themes. ;-)
On a more juvenile note, I was amused by the loading of images from the kde-ass directory, like http://images.themes.org/templates/kde-ass/icon-shots.gif. Yeah, it's simple-minded, but it is Friday.
By Otter at Fri, 2001/09/07 - 5:00am
Re: Themes.org situation
I thought kde.themes.org had been down all this time but was brought back up on Aug 22 as scheduled. My bad.

Re: Themes.org situation
In my experience, whenever a site posts a message saying they are definitely not dead, it is because they are in fact dying. Especially when said message mentions a due date that isn't met or even changed after it has passed.

Offer: Konqueror Password Manager
While talking about offers: is there a good place (something like Sourcexchange or CoSource, but that is still open and possibly better) for offering money for features?
By Tim Jansen at Fri, 2001/09/07 - 5:00am
Re: Offer: Konqueror Password Manager
The lack of a good password manager under KDE has bothered me as well. There are some, but none that satisfies my needs. What I would like to see - and might start working on - is:
- a wallet that is locked by default and can only be unlocked by a password to decrypt the stored passwords
- the option to had different sub-wallets, allowing for my company to send me a new encrypted file with the passwords at work. Each sub-wallet would have a different master-password.
- A docked GUI, with the ability to quickly lock and unlock (sub-)wallets or auto-lock them after so many microts of inactivity.
- Interaction with kio_sftp and minicli. All passwords cached or stored should be managed by the desktop wallet or its sub-wallets.
- The ability to have a RMB or menu item "paste from wallet" in HTTP forms. I don't want autocomplete here, but a key binding or RMB to insert a password from the wallet makes sense - it would require manual interaction/knowledge and that the wallet is unlocked (either already or at the moment of the action).
I wish I had more time, but hopefully I will find some and keep this list as a TODO.
By Rob Kaper at Fri, 2001/09/07 - 5:00am
Re: Offer: Konqueror Password Manager
This is far more than what I had in mind. When you fill out a HTML form in Mozilla that has exactly one password input field the password manager asks you whether it should remember this login for the session or forever. It stores the content of all input fields in the form. If you then go visit this or another page on the same host with the same field names it will enter your last input automatically for you. The login data can be managed using a dialog in the config menu where that you can see all the stored login data and can delete entries. This is what I want. It is actually so useful that I prefer to start Mozilla only to visit EBay, even if Konqueror is already open, because it is so much more convenient.
By Tim Jansen at Fri, 2001/09/07 - 5:00am
Re: Offer: Konqueror Password Manager
I realize what I wrote down is more than you asked for, but if I were to write a wallet/password manager I would prefer doing it right and personally I would require all of those features. Possibly as a non-KDE engine with a KDE front-end which allows for different front-ends.
Of course web forms would probably be the place to start.
Ideally, this would be a Hailstorm alternative on the client side. No need to share login information on the server side if your authorization methods are well organized and managable on the client side. You probably have different keys for work, home, your car as well: no problem as long as it's easy for you to use them. Same thing on the Internet, no?
By Rob Kaper at Fri, 2001/09/07 - 5:00am
Re: Offer: Konqueror Password Manager
This sounds very interesting. I'd like to suggest that you talk about this on both the KDE _and_ GNOME lists when you find the time to implement it.
By Evandro at Sun, 2001/09/09 - 5:00am

Pay per feature
How about setting up a general pay-per-feature website which allow people to bid on features they would like to see. The hard part is probably to make the offers binding, so people dont misuse the system and never pay.
Of course general improvements like speed and security should also get honored somehow.
By srb at Fri, 2001/09/07 - 5:00am
Users opinion must be included in KDE's developmen
The Pay-per-feature is a nice Idea but this Idea comes why? Because Our KDE team is ignoring Users' feature requests in the name of feature-freeze :(
I would ask KDE Team or Dot.kde.org's maintainer to do a daily/weekly feature Poll which we see at bugs.kde.org as wishlists and also allow kde users or members (how about a free kde membership, after registration at kde.org?) to present and vote for features. For example,
Advantage/Need: I prefer keyboard use to mouse as I am much used to it in Windows.
Would you like to see the above feature integrated in next KDE version? Options are:
( ) Yes.
If the Yes votes are more than No votes then this feature will be included in next KDE version. Thanks for your vote!
1. Integrating Thememanager, Icon Themes, SoundThemes, Background settings.
The above wishlist I submitted when KDE 2.0 was the Latest Desktop environment. But still in KDE 2.2, I can't see this feature and I feel annoyed to use Kicker by using up and down arrow keys. And bugs.kde.org has got tired of my wishlists and said "why don't you stop bugging bugs.kde.org? it is not a discussion forum!".
I feel that KDE developers want to incorporate feature which they like only, they don't care for User's wishes and needs. So, I wish that dot.kde.org should daily/weekly conduct feature request polls, and see what really KDE users want. And the very nice they can say it "Get the sources and make it yourself! don't bother us, we are too busy with _bugs_".
Anyway, Thank you KDE Team for everything you have created.
By Asif Ali Rizwaan at Fri, 2001/09/07 - 5:00am
Re: Users opinion must be included in KDE's developmen
No, the idea comes because it is probably the only known way to finance open-source work. All the companies that have failed so far tried to sell something that is free(-beer) or tried to finance open-source work with things that are only related to the development itself (like support or training). But if it is the progress of the software that costs money, then people should pay for the progress.
By Tim Jansen at Fri, 2001/09/07 - 5:00am
Paypal & Opensource
This is something I submitted to another site, since it wasn't posted I didn't receive any comments. Anyway I had the same idea as Tim:
Using paypal in opensource development
Lately I've been thinking about using systems like paypal in opensource development. As a user I would find it very interesting if I could somehow sponsor the development of programs in a certain way. For example I would love to attach a payment (using paypal) to a certain feature or bugfix request, and afcourse other users could also do the same, which would hopefully amount in a nice pile of cash the developer could use to have some fun with :) However it strikes me as odd that a simple idea like this has never been done before. Would this somehow make programming on opensource programs less fun ? Is this a good way to make money out of open source ? Are developers just doing it for the kick or itch ? I'd love to hear what people think about this, especially developers.
By frido at Fri, 2001/09/07 - 5:00am
This is really interesting! A question is how this can be done in a organized and maybe systemated way. This discussion then leads in why/how open source/Free Software can be supported with money in a more direct way than buying a distro which supports your favourite project (in this case KDE or a KDE application).
Why not post your thoughts to [email protected], [email protected] or maybe write an article and post it to [email protected]?
By Loranga at Fri, 2001/09/07 - 5:00am
Re: Paypal & Opensource
What's to stop BigCompany from pouring thousands of dollars (so to speak) into feature request X, when I just gave $100 to implement feature Y? What if X and Y are mutually exclusive?
By Alexander Deruwe at Sat, 2001/09/08 - 5:00am
Re: Paypal & Opensource
I don't know if you have used Java Developer Connection? Anyway, if you register there you can browse through all reported Java bugs and also report your own. You also have 3 votes that you can put on the bugs that bother you the most. There is a top-25-bug-list and also a top-25-RFE-list where you can see the features and bugs that most Java developers want to have fixed.
I wonder if not something like this could make sense with KDE. But instead of voting for bugs you offer money for them to be fixed, or for features, and many other users could do the same. I think the biggest problem would be when to consider a bug to be fixed, and who fixed it.
By Claes at Sat, 2001/09/08 - 5:00am
Re: Users opinion must be included in KDE's developmen
> Because Our KDE team is ignoring Users' feature requests in the name of
Sorry, but this is a big difference between Open Source and proprietary, commercial software. The KDE team's purpose isn't to make you happy, it's to make a product that they like and are proud of. If there's something that you really want, it's your responcibility, not the KDE team's. This thread really eximplifies that if you can't commit time to it, commit money.
This isn't to say that your feedback isn't at times appreciated, but if they don't want to implement something, they're not going to. Open Source always requires a developer to have some motivation to do something. Like when something really bugs you, or there's a feature or program that just doesn't exist, you go after it.
By Scott at Fri, 2001/09/07 - 5:00am
Re: Users opinion must be included in KDE's developmen
I don't know why your so fired up about being able to do the fancy ALT whatever just to launch a program. I found that with ALT and completion turned on I can run any program on the path without touching the mouse and it's faster the second/third time as usually all I need is 2-3 chars and the listbox "finds" the correct command a quick down arrow and enter and I'm off to the races.
All spelling mistakes are left as is for the anal-retentive.
By Scott Manson at Sat, 2001/09/08 - 5:00am
Re: Users opinion must be included in KDE's developmen
>Kicker would be very easy to navigate with Keyboard when we can use Windows
You can probably do this yourself by adding an ampersand ('&') before the character that you want to become the accelerator into those .desktop files below share/applnk. Or use the menueditor for that.

KMail feature contest

IMAP support
Thank Michael for IMAP support. For mail notification of my IMAP folders I use Kurts KBiff which is great too, but it lacks the support of secure-IMAP (IMAPS). One thing that should be improved in current implementation is the speed of deleting messages. If I make my monthly mailinglist clean-up, KMail needs minutes to do this.
Of course, I would like to do the clean-up by KMail filter setup and I would like to have smtp-authentification and language settings as part of the profile and free names for profiles, so that "default" is an attribute and not the name of a profile and ....
Users are so dissatisfied :-)))

KDE Color Picker
Is there any KDE application that allows to pick a color from any visible window or the desktop background and display the rgb values of that color? Would be pretty useful as at the moment I always start pixie for that, create a screenshot and pick the color from the resulting image file.
By Anonymous at Fri, 2001/09/07 - 5:00am

There is a panel applet called, fair enough, Colour Picker that does what you are seeking for.

Re: KDE Color Picker
KRuler does that, and I think any app with a color picker dialog would work too, because there is a "dropper" tool that you can pick up colors from the screen with (very useful :-).
By not me at Fri, 2001/09/07 - 5:00am
we need
an application to build a theme,like the app that Xdesktop has built. i mean, a wizard that only has to ask about the colors or the pixmaps you want for the different parts of the KDE GUI (toolbar, buttons, etc...). Then, the results will be into an XML to create the KDE 2.x theme. I think it is easy for an KDE coder expert. We need it.

KDE Themes
Hear hear, I'd love to see some new KDE themes... for some reason there seems to be some obsession with Aqua. I must be the only one but personally I absolutely hate Aqua. When I use GNOME I usually use the BlueMarble GTK+ theme and BlueSteel Enlightenment theme and it looks absolutely amazing. KDE may kick the living bejesus out of GNOME in terms of architecture but it's still a hell of a lot uglier. And don't tell me to use GTK+ import, I tried that but the colour settings are not fine-grained enough to let me match it up perfectly - either the menu dividers look ugly or main windows look ugly. That and some bits don't quite match up; I'll post a screenshot if anyone's interested.

Freeh: Possible corruption in BP claims handling
Send a link to a friend
[September 07, 2013]
(AP) -- A former FBI director recommended Friday that the Justice Department investigate whether several lawyers plotted to corrupt the settlement program designed to compensate victims of BP's 2010 Gulf oil spill.
But the independent probe led by Louis Freeh didn't find any evidence of wrongdoing by the multibillion-dollar settlement's court-appointed administrator, who has been a target of BP's increasingly aggressive campaign to challenge payouts to Gulf Coast businesses.
Freeh, who was appointed by a federal judge to investigate alleged misconduct by a staff attorney who worked on the settlement program, cleared claims administrator Patrick Juneau of engaging in any "conflict of interest, or unethical or improper conduct."
The report also found nothing that warranted shutting down payments to victims of the oil spill, which spewed millions of gallons of oil into the water, fouling marshes, fisheries and beaches from Louisiana to Florida.
However, Freeh concluded that then-top members of Juneau's staff engaged in conduct that was improper, unethical and possibly criminal. He recommended that his report be forwarded to the Justice Department.
"The nature and seriousness of this type conduct varied in degree but was pervasive and, at its extreme, may have constituted criminal conduct," the report said.
Freeh's probe also isn't over. His report said his work is "ongoing" and will result in recommendations for strengthening the settlement program's operations and anti-fraud measures.
Juneau said Freeh's report validates his team's work, and he played down the alleged misconduct by two former members of his staff as an "isolated situation."
"We will continue the job of processing claims," he said in a statement. "We welcome the recommendations from the Freeh report and we look forward to working with him to help improve all aspects of the claims process."
BP spokesman Geoff Morrell said the report "confirms what BP has suspected for some time: there has been fraud and unethical conduct within the facility itself and among various claimants and their lawyers _and immediate steps need to be taken to prevent it in the future."
"The evidence of conflicts of interest and misconduct assembled in Judge Freeh's report is shocking, but it simply underscores that neither BP nor the public has had any idea of what's really going on within the (settlement program)," Morrell said. "Judge Freeh's continued investigation is essential to assuring public confidence in the integrity of the claims process."
Two of the lead plaintiffs' lawyers who brokered the settlement with BP last year said Freeh's report "confirmed what we knew to be true all along: that Patrick Juneau has, for more than a year, led the Court-Supervised Settlement Program with integrity, transparency and objectivity."
"It is a testament to Mr. Juneau's running of the program that Judge Freeh's recommended that the Settlement Program continue paying claims unabated, with Juneau at the helm," the attorneys, Stephen Herman and Jim Roy, said in a statement.
While the report cites certain conduct within the program as problematic, Freeh said, "this should not prevent the (settlement program) from fairly and efficiently processing and paying honest and legitimate claims in a timely manner."
It also found that two private attorneys -- Glen Lerner and Jon Andry -- used Lionel Sutton, then a lawyer on Juneau's staff, to expedite a claim by their firm for nearly $8 million. In return, Sutton received more than $40,000 in fees from payments on claims he had referred to their law firm before joining Juneau's staff, the report says.
[to top of second column]
Freeh recommended turning over his report to the Justice Department and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Louisiana to determine whether Sutton, Lerner, Andry or Sutton's wife Christine Reitano, who also worked as a lawyer on Juneau's staff, violated any federal laws "regarding fraud, money laundering and conspiracy."
Freeh also recommended that the court consider disallowing the $7.9 million payment of The Andry Law Firm claim based on "long-held principles of equity which prohibit a party before the court to benefit and enrich itself after having engaged in dishonest, unethical and improper conduct."
"In this matter, the conduct of The Andry Law Firm is particularly egregious," the report said. "In effect, Mr. Jon Andry's AndryLerner firm was making secret, improper payments to Mr. Sutton at the precise time Mr. Sutton was a senior CAO attorney, working in concert with Mr. Jon Andry to expedite payment of The Andry Law Firm claim."
Michael Walsh, an attorney for Lionel Sutton, said Freeh's allegations about his client's conduct possibly warranting a criminal investigation are "absolutely unfounded."
"There was no criminal activity on Mr. Sutton's part," Walsh said. "If Mr. Sutton had done anything criminally wrong, he would not have cooperated with Mr. Freeh."
James Cobb, a lawyer for Andry, said his client hasn't done anything wrong and doesn't deserve to be smeared by Freeh.
"It appears to me that Mr. Freeh reached a conclusion first and then worked his way backwards, citing facts which are unsupported in the record," Cobb said.
Lawyers for Lerner and Reitano didn't immediately respond to emails seeking comment.
Sutton resigned from his job at the settlement program in June. Reitano was fired later the same month. She has demanded to be reinstated, saying she didn't do anything wrong.
BP had asked U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier to suspend all settlement payments to businesses and residents pending the outcome of Freeh's investigation, but the judge denied that request on two separate occasions.
In April 2010, the oil drilling rig Deepwater Horizon exploded off the Louisiana coast, killing 11 workers and triggering the massive oil spill.
BP set up a compensation fund for individuals and businesses hurt by the spill and committed $20 billion. Juneau took over the processing of claims after the settlement was reached last year.

text: Seller: ancientartforless (1,519) 100%, Location: European Union, Ships to: Worldwide, Item: 164013216219 Byzantine Bronze Lunar Pendant Amulet weight: 34 grams measures: 51 mm / 53 mm The history of the Roman world is an epic story which stretches out over the course of more than two millennia - the story of an small group of villages which went on to dominate a major part of the western world and was to substantially define its culture. It is obviously impossible to summarize the entire history within a few lines. However, most chronologies distinguish between the following phases: Origins and Roman Monarchy(753 - 509 B.C.) , a somewhat less familiar period, at the end of which Roman territory was only one small area, Latium, which remained threatened on all sides by Italic and Etruscan peoples.The Roman Republic (509 - 27 B.C.) paved the way for the institutions, administration and organizational structures that were to sustain the force of Rome. By 264 B.C.., Rome controlled the entire Italian peninsula. Its ambition would then be to dominate the Mediterranean. Following the destruction of Carthage in 146, this was achieved for the western part. Macedonia, allied with Carthage, was then defeated, and Greece was "liberated" from the Macedonians in 194. Rome occupied what is today the Turkish coastline. Julius Caesar was at the origin of the change which, within a few years (49-29 B.C.) would change the Roman institutions into an empire which covered almost the whole of the Mediterranean shores, plus Gaul and present day Spain.The Roman Empire (27 B.C. - 476 A.D.) increased the grasp of Rome on the Western world even more so. However signs of crisis increase from 250 A.D. onwards, with the rise of new peoples who threaten the borders of the Roman empire. Within the empire, Christianity progresses and the Emperor Constantine converts to it in 324. In 395, Theodosius shares the empire between his two sons. The Western Empire fell in 476, whereas the Byzantine Empire remained, with many trials and tribulations until 1453. However things are not that simple. The rise of Rome and the fall of the Empire cannot be scribed by a smooth curve, and the periods of disorder were numerous - but to evoke them would mean entering into a "Roman history" requiring several volumes. In addition, if Rome militarily conquered Greece, then undoubtedly Greek culture conquered the Roman world, and it caused an admiration and a passion which profoundly influenced it. In its turn, Rome was to indelibly influence the western world, but in different aspects: although artistically inclined, the Romans left especially a legacy of pragmatism, of civic and legislative conscience, and of civil and military organization. This organization, their collective courage and the talent of their tenacious builders still makes its mark today. Shipping fees are for Recorded Delivery (with tracking number) Good luck!

Lisa finally got the chance to start for the varsity volleyball team, and she really wanted to impress the coach. But on one play she got overeager and collided with a teammate while going for a spike. She landed flat on her side on the hard gym floor. Lisa felt a sharp, strong pain in her hip and had to be helped off the floor.
After being taken out of the game, Lisa iced her hip and took some acetaminophen. But the next day her hip still hurt and was swollen and bruised. Her mother took her to see the doctor. It turned out Lisa had a hip pointer, a bruise to one of the bones of her hip.
Your hip joint involves two bones. Your hipbone is called the iliac (pronounced: ILL-ee-ack) crest and the top of your leg bone (femur) is called the greater trochanter (pronounced: troe-KAN-tuhr). A hip pointer is a bruise to one of these bones or to the surrounding soft tissue (muscles, cartilage, tendons, etc.).
In rare cases, a hip pointer can also cause what's known as an avulsion fracture, where part of the bone is pulled away by the attached muscle.
Since the bones in your hips don't have a lot of muscle and fat for padding, they're more susceptible to bone bruises. Bone bruises can be painful and take a while to fully heal.
Hip pointers are caused by a sudden impact that's hard enough to bruise your iliac crest or greater trochanter or cause damage to the soft tissue of your hip.
Some of the more common causes of hip pointers include:
As with most sports injuries, how painful a hip pointer is or how long it takes to heal depends on the severity of the injury. Most hip pointers will be only a minor inconvenience and can be hard to see. But if you have a serious hip pointer, you'll know it.
Look for these symptoms:
If you see a doctor about a hip pointer injury, he or she will examine the area for swelling and bruising. That might include pressing on your hip to see how tender the area is. The doctor will ask questions about how the injury happened.
In some cases, the doctor may call for X-rays or an MRI scan to see if there is a bone fracture or damage to the surrounding tissue. A doctor might also order an MRI or a computerized tomography (CT) scan to rule out any damage to internal organs.
Doctors don't need to do a lot for most hip pointers. Your doctor will most likely recommend crutches. He or she may also prescribe medication to ease the pain.
Some of the things you can do at home to treat a hip pointer include:
Severe hip pointers can result in a hematoma or fracture, or in damage to internal organs like the spleen. These types of more serious hip pointer injuries might require a doctor's help. If you have a hematoma and get fluid buildup in your hip, a doctor may need to drain it.
Surgery for hip pointers is rare. Most can be easily treated and heal in their own time. But if a hip pointer doesn't respond to other treatments (or if a CT scan or MRI reveals internal damage), surgery may be necessary to correct the condition.
It can be hard to prevent a hip pointer. They happen suddenly and can be difficult to see coming. Still, you can help reduce your chances of getting one by following a few simple guidelines when you play sports or exercise:
Conditioning exercises that strengthen specific areas of the body are good ways to protect yourself from hip pointers. Talk to your coach or a sports medicine specialist about getting a performance analysis to learn if any areas of your body are vulnerable to injuries like hip pointers.

Can you knock off 8 miles on the track or an hour on the bike, but struggle through a few pull-ups? Despite your commitment to fitness, your workout is likely missing something. You know what I'm talking about. Runners and cyclists enjoy cardiovascular workouts so much that we tend to neglect an essential part of total fitness—strength training.
You need not spend hours in the gym getting pumped up to enjoy the benefits of weight training. You can make gains in strength, power, and fitness in as little as 2 sessions as week.
Understanding the Benefits
Regular weight training makes you stronger, and we're not just talking about bulging biceps. Weight training strengthens bones, ligaments, and tendons as well as muscles, all of which translate into improved balance, greater power, quicker recovery, and a reduced risk for injury.
In fact, performing only aerobic exercise could result in an overuse injury. Running for example, works your calves and hamstrings but ignores the upper body. By strengthening all the major muscle groups, you can avoid an imbalance and reduce your risk for injury.
Getting Hard Core
Developing a strong core is important. Your core strength comes from the muscles that stabilize the spine, pelvis, rib cage, and hips. Basic exercises, such as crunches, lunges, and squats, can help build your core.
Weighing the Options
Machines, dumbbells, balls? Which is right for you? All of it. Vary your workout to avoid boredom and maximize results.
Weight Machines
Machines are a good way to begin. The machine will guide your movement and reduce the chances of injury.
Beginners should start with light weight to avoid overworking the muscles and to develop a consistent routine. Lift one day per week for the first few weeks, and then add a second session. Start with one set of a weight you can lift for 8-10 repetitions and increase to 2-3 sets.
After you have established a regular routine, increase the weight by 5%-10% per week. Strive for a weight that you can lift 8-10 times for 2-3 sets. By the last repetition, you should be tired and unable to do another, yet still in good form. Do this by lifting and lowering slowly. Do not let gravity pull the weight down for you.
Free Weights
Free weights add a new dimension of difficulty. Now you have to perform the desired movement while keeping your whole body stabilized. The result is that more muscles are engaged and you get a more efficient workout. However, it's easier to cheat with free weights. You can push a weight too fast and use the momentum instead of your own power. To avoid cheating, your form should be slow and controlled, not bouncy or jerky. Lift for 3-4 seconds, pause for 1 second, lower for 3-4 seconds.
Resistance Bands
Traditionally used only by physical therapists, these portable, multi-colored, oversized rubber bands are commonly found in gyms. They are best used to supplement training with weight machines or free weights. The exact resistance of the bands is difficult to determine, and they are limited by the maximum resistance they provide.
Medicine Balls
Medicine balls are available in a range of weights and can add a significant amount of resistance to your lifts. Check with a strength and conditioning specialist or a certified athletic trainer for the best way to use them. For instance, you can do sit-ups with your arms stretched straight above your head, holding a medicine ball.
Stability Balls
Stability or balance balls are are meant to be sat on. For example, you can balance your behind and lower back on the ball with your feet planted on the floor. Then, you can do sit-ups or upper-body free weight exercises. Using the stability ball triggers your body to use more and different muscles than are normally engaged. And these are the core muscles—abdominals and lower back—that are key to overall strength and power.
What about when you are stranded on a desert island with no equipment? Well, there is one thing you can do: drop and give me 20! By using your own body weight as resistance, you can get a significant workout doing push-ups, sit-ups, chin-ups, lunges, squats, and triceps dips. Do jumping jacks before and between each exercise to keep your heart rate up.
The fitness industry is constantly developing new tools and techniques to help you change your routine. Keep an open mind about new activities and equipment, but also be cautious. Ask a trusted fitness professional for advice.
Feeling the Burn
Although some muscle soreness is normal the day after lifting, weight lifting injuries are rare. However, if you experience any of the following, rest a few days and see your doctor if you do not feel better:
- Any pain that is severe, sharp, or sudden
- Soreness that lasts more than two days and limits activity
- Pain that is worse on one side than the other
- Pain occurring in the joint, not in the muscle
- Swelling or bruising
- Loss of range of motion or mobility in the joint
Putting It All Together
A balanced program includes cardio work, strength training, and flexibility exercises. It may sound difficult to fit each of these into your week, but a personal trainer can help design a weight training program to develop your core as well as your outer strength. Before you know it, you'll be jumping higher, running faster, pedaling harder, and looking and feeling stronger and more confident.
