Elvis Dumervil came to Denver fresh off one of the most prolific pass-rushing and playmaking seasons for any college defensive lineman in recent memory. Questions nevertheless arose about his 5-foot-11 stature after the Broncos used a fourth-round pick on him, but the answer to those were simple — he simply found himself at the epicenter of the play too often to be ignored. That was "the biggest factor" in the decision to select him, General Manager Ted Sundquist said.
"If he is not making the tackle, he's forcing the quarterback into somebody else," Sundquist said last May. "And for a guy who most people critiqued as being too short for the position, he plays the run extremely well. We drafted him at that spot with the thought of him being a pass-rush specialist, and we'll just have to see if he makes an immediate impact."
That would be an affirmative.
All Dumervil did was lead the Broncos in sacks, notch more sacks for any Denver rookie since Mike Croel in 1991 (and more sacks for any rookie defensive lineman since Rulon Jones in 1980).
"I think the biggest asset that he has is his size, being able to get underneath the offensive linemen," defensive end Ebenezer Ekuban said. "His reach is actually long for a guy of his stature."
Dumervil's rookie campaign crested in his second and third games after being activated for the first time on Oct. 9 against Baltimore. In the home win over the Oakland Raiders six days later, he notched two sacks; a week later against the Browns, he overshadowed his fellow linemen's collective return to Cleveland by logging three sacks, matching the single-game rookie record established by Jones 26 years earlier.
"He doesn't know how good he has it right now," Ekuban said at the time.
Indeed, that would be where his season crested. While his playing time remained substantial and he never returned to the game-day inactive list, he would have fewer sacks over the last 10 games of the year than he did in Weeks 6 and 7 — 3.5 from Weeks 8-17, although 1.5 of those came in the season's final two games.
That allowed him to seize the club's sack lead with 8.5 — which was 4.5 more than any Bronco bagged in 2005.
Nevertheless, he emerged from the season cognizant of what he needed to do to improve — to become a more consistent pass rusher and more effective against the run. Doing both might allow him to leap into the starting lineup.
"I've still got a lot to learn," Dumervil said.
FINAL ANALYSIS: Ranked third among NFL rookies in sacks in 2006, behind only Chicago's Mark Anderson (12) and Cleveland's Kamerion Wimbley (11). Kansas City defensive end Tamba Hali, selected three rounds before Dumervil, was right behind the University of Louisville product with eight sacks … Lined up for 319 snaps in 2006, an average of 24.5 times per game in the 13 weeks he played … With five sacks in Weeks 6-7, Dumervil became the only player in the Mike Shanahan era to log five sacks over the course of consecutive games. He is also the first player of the Shanahan era to notch back-to-back multiple-sack games.
NEXT: Defensive end Ebenezer Ekuban.

Kinder Morgan Inc. Stock Upgraded (KMI)
Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Kinder Morgan (NYSE:KMI) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from sell to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, expanding profit margins and impressive record of earnings per share growth. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including generally higher debt management risk and disappointing return on equity.
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- KMI's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 6.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 52.6%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- KINDER MORGAN INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past year. We feel that this trend should continue. This trend suggests that the performance of the business is improving. During the past fiscal year, KINDER MORGAN INC increased its bottom line by earning $1.35 versus $0.63 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.46 versus $1.35).
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, reflecting both the market's overall trend during that period and the fact that the company's earnings growth has been robust. Looking ahead, the stock's rise over the last year has already helped drive it to a level which is relatively expensive compared to the rest of its industry, implying reduced upside potential.
- The debt-to-equity ratio is very high at 2.29 and currently higher than the industry average, implying increased risk associated with the management of debt levels within the company.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. In comparison to the other companies in the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry and the overall market, KINDER MORGAN INC's return on equity is significantly below that of the industry average and is below that of the S&P 500.

Bill Brogden's men's golf team will be making the school's 10th trip to the NCAA Championship Finals and first time since 2007 as the Golden Hurricane placed fifth at the NCAA Greensboro Regional on Saturday afternoon. Tulsa shot a final round 288 to close out the 54-hole tournament with an 878 total at the par-72 Grandover East Golf Course.
The Hurricane beat out #23-ranked Duke's 881 total score for the fifth and final qualifying spot to the NCAA finals.
The five teams from the Greensboro Regional advancing to the NCAA Championship Finals, May 29-June 3, include Liberty, Florida, Auburn, Lamar and Tulsa. 32nd-ranked Liberty led from wire-to-wire and finished with a four-over par score of 868, while #17-ranked Florida placed second with an 870 score and was followed by #5-ranked Auburn (874), Lamar (877) and Tulsa (878).
Tulsa sophomore John Young Kim finished the tournament in seventh place with a 54-hole total of one-over par 217. He scored a one-over par 73 today, but had an opportunity to finish stronger. Kim was two-under par heading into his final two holes, but double-bogeyed the par-4 eighth and bogeyed the par-4 ninth hole to close out his final two holes at three-over par.
Freshman Colton Staggs turned in Tulsa's best round of the day with a score of three-under par 69. He finished the tournament with a 221 total for 16th place. Staggs, beginning the day on hole 10, bogeyed three straight holes – No. 15, 16 and 17 – before sinking an eagle putt on the par-5 18th hole. He made the turn at one-over par and got to four-under par after birdies on holes 3, 4 and 5, and then knocked in his second eagle of the ay at the par-5 sixth hole. Staggs, however, closed out his superb round with a bogey on the par-4 ninth hole.
Tulsa junior Chris Worrell carded a final round 71 for his 222 total and finished in 23rtd place overall. Worrell was one-over par after his first nine holes, while hitting birdie putts on the par-5 sixth hole and par-4 ninth hole for his one-under par score of the day.
Freshman Matt Mabrey finished in 28th place after scoring a round of 77 today for a 224 total, while junior Mark Mumford's 227 total score was good for 44th place. Mumford had Tulsa's fourth counting score today with a three-over par 75.
Individually, there was a three-way tie for medalist honors between Liberty's Robert Karalsson, SMU's Matt Schovee and Campbell's Vaita Guillaume. The trio each tallied three-under par scores of 213.
Five teams advanced today from each of the six regional sites to comprise a field of 30 teams at the NCAA Championship Finals, May 29-June 3 at The Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California.

Laser Technique Prevents Diabetes AmputationPosted: Friday, February 24, 2006A study on the laser technique included mostly people with diabetes and those with high blood pressure at high risk for losing a limb because of severe diffuse atherosclerosis of the legs. These patients were considered poor candidates for bypass surgery -- the gold standard treatment for prevention of limb loss.
Fewer than one in 10 ended up having a foot or leg removed within six months of having the laser procedure. "This laser definitely seems to have a role to play in treating patients with the very worst disease who are facing amputations," he says. Diabetes-associated nerve and circulatory damage is the leading cause of lower limb amputation in the U.S., accounting for more than half of all foot and leg removals each year. According to the American Diabetes Association, 82,000 people lose a foot or leg to diabetes annually. Saving limbs involves improving circulation, but many people with diabetes are poor candidates for surgery to bypass or improve blood flow because of many factors. Conventional, heat-guided lasers were used briefly in the 1980s to burn away blockages. But the technique was quickly abandoned because the heat of the laser was too damaging to surrounding tissue. The new device, known as the excimer laser, relies on flexible fiber optic catheters to deliver short bursts of ultraviolet energy. The laser is able to precisely target and vaporize blockages without damage to the surrounding artery. This unique feature helps reduce the potential for complications such as clot formations after the surgery. After the laser procedure, balloon angioplasty is performed on almost all patients to help open the once-blocked artery. In the study, only nine of 119 patients at high risk for amputation ended up losing a limb within six months of having the laser procedure. About half of the patients also got stent implants, which act as scaffolding to prop damaged arteries open. Laird says results from balloon angioplasty alone tend to be poor in patients like the ones in the study who had severe artery disease with many blockages along the length of the artery.

- B.E. Electrical Engineering, University Of Sydney, Sydney Australia, University Medal (1983).

Source: [1]
According to his bio [1], Evans claims to be a "Rocket Scientist," and one article describes him as a "Top Rocket Scientist. [2]" While Evans's background does show that he has a Ph.D. in electrical engineering, there is no evidence that he was ever employed as a rocket scientist.
When DeSmogBlog contacted [3] Evans regarding his claim of being a rocket scientist, Evans replied that "In US academic and industry parlance, 'rocket scientist' means anyone who has completed a PhD in one of the hard sciences at one of the top US institutions."
Evans also claims to be "building a word processor for Windows." DeSmogBlog contacted Microsoft and they have confirmed that he does not work for them.
Evans is an editor for the Australian edition of GoldNerds, a company that sells information about gold companies to investors. He also does private mathematics research. [1]
David Evans gained media attention after an article he wrote titled, "No smoking hot spot [4]," which was published in The Australian in June, 2008. The article claims that climate change is not caused by C02 emissions because there is no evidence of "a hot spot about 10km up in the atmosphere over the tropics." [2]
Evans's claim has been thoroughly debunked by Tim Lambert, [5] a computer scientist at the University of New South Wales. [3]
From 1999 to 2006, Evans worked for the Australian Greenhouse Office [6] designing a carbon accounting system that is used by the Australian Government to calculate its land-use carbon accounts for the Kyoto Protocol.
While Evans says [7] [link dead] that "[he] know[s] a heck of a lot about modeling and computers," he states clearly that he is "not a climate modeler."
Stance on Climate Change
"The evidence supporting the idea that CO2 emissions were the main cause of global warming reversed itself from 1995 to 2006, causing Evans to move from being a warmist to a skeptic." [4]
Key Quotes
"If there is no hot spot then an increased greenhouse effect is not the cause of global warming. So we know for sure that carbon emissions are not a significant cause of the global warming. . ." [5]
"I am the rocket scientist who wrote the carbon accounting model (FullCAM) that measures Australia's compliance with the Kyoto Protocol, in the land use change and forestry sector." [2]
Key Deeds
March 8-10, 2009
Evans made a presentation titled "Carbon Dioxide Not Responsible for 20th Century Warming" at the Heartland Institute's 2009 International Conference on Climate Change [8]. [6]
- Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) [11] — "Team Member [12]" at UN climate conference in Bali. ["Special report from UN climate conference in Bali [12]," Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow, December 27, 2007.]
- The Lavoisier Group [13] — Contributor [14].
- The Ludwig von Mises Institute [15] — Contributor.
- The Australian Greenhouse Office — Consultant. [2]
According to his resume, Evans has not published any peer-reviewed research papers on the subject of climate change.
Evans published one paper [16] in 1987, but it was unrelated to climate change.

A Utah motorcyclist was fatally injured Saturday, Aug. 31, when he lost control on Highway 65 near Grand Mesa.
The accident occurred at 10:49 a.m. at milepost 16.
Robert Farr, 70, from St. George, Utah, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Colorado State Patrol reports Farr was northbound on Highway 65 on a BMW motorcycle. As he rounded a lefthand sweeping curve, he lost control. The motorcycle rolled onto its left side, traveled off the right side of the road and down a steep embankment, and collided with a small tree.
Farr, the sole occupant of the motorcycle, was wearing a helmet.

"Loved the cards...they are gorgeous and unique! However, the paper appears creamier on screen then it does in reality and I don't love that the envelopes are pure white, because my invitation suite was ecru. Nevertheless, I love the cards themselves and am happy overall with my purchase."
"Love it, but thought it was a folded thank you note. Most all "Thank You" notes are folded. I didn't see on your site if it was or wasn't. Disappointed, but it will keep the note short. They are for my daughter and she said it was OK to have it on one page."
"This card was a little smaller then I had thought but it was a perfect Thank you for my shower gifts. I really enjoyed being able to customize it with my wedding colors as well."
"We personalized the card with the front to say Thank you and added our initials on the bottom right hand corner to look like personal stationary. They came out beautiful and made them very personalized, especially for our guests who were going to be receiving them. The paper quality was worth the money spent- we could have going with $30 thank you from another retailer but we would have looked cheap. Its tough but when your friends and family spend the time celebrating and choose to give you a substantial gift its appropriate and also nice to say thank you with good quality paper rather then saying thanks for the gift on a junk paper. your a married women/man act like it!!! We haven't send them out yet but I know my family and friends and they will appreciate it plus they are matching with my invitations and they raved about the invitations and how beautiful they were!!! These are a must."
"I ordered these to use for thank you cards for my bridal shower. I chose to change the wording from names to "Thank You!" The spacing was originally a little spread out because it was designed to have two names on the card. WPD personalized my card by changing the wording and fixing the font so that the words were not so spaced out. The printing is very clear. I love em!"

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced today that they have promoted DE George Johnson to the active roster from the practice squad and waived TE Collin Franklin. They also announced that S Devin Holland has been placed on Injured Reserve with a back injury.
Johnson, who spent the previous five weeks on the practice squad this season, was on the team's active roster for the final three games last year after spending the other 14 weeks on the team's practice squad.
Franklin, a rookie from Iowa State, saw action in two games for the Buccaneers after being promoted from the team's practice squad following Week 3.
Holland played in the team's first four games recording two special teams tackles.
The Buccaneers did not announce a player to fill the one active roster spot available.

Editor Jim Haught's perspective about dying was a good, open, honest insight into his very personal views about the most significant event of human life -- the end of it and, what then?
I share his age bracket. I am 85, having lived all of my adult life in the Charleston area. We are at that age where, statistically, our time to leave is soon upon us.
I have been a Christian for over 60 years, and reading the Bible, believing what God has told us about life, death, life after death and how to achieve peace of mind and soul about eternal matters, has brought me to the place that I anticipate death as my gateway to an eternal existence with a heightened sense of being and purpose in the presence of the Creator of the Universe and Savior of my soul.
Humanly speaking, I dread the deathly transition, but what lies beyond blots out the possible pain and anguish associated with the body dying.
Since the evidence for God, the Bible, Christianity, Jesus Christ and His power and grace is so overwhelming, I thoroughly enjoy discussing these issues.
Haught's expectations seem to be that, regardless of what you have done or not done, believed or not believed, your best hope is obliteration, simply ceasing to exist. It is truly a hopeless expectation.
My expectation is the moment my spirit leaves this body, I will be in the presence of God and His Son, Jesus Christ, Creator and Sustainer of the universe. I do not have a "hope so" expectation but a "know-so" faith as I recall the words of Job, the oldest book of the Bible: "I know that my Redeemer lives, and He shall stand at last on the earth. And after my skin is destroyed, this I know, that in my flesh I shall see God, Whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another."
What this hope does is to give peace and joy in the soul that cannot be obtained by human endeavor or from any other source than from God Himself, through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Most people have heard or read all of the Christian claims about eternal life and how to attain it. And there are many groups claiming exclusive knowledge of eternal life, some are called branches of Christianity.
At this point in Haught's life, God has graciously allowed him to maintain mental capacity, ability to think, reason and act upon conclusions. The key issue is will. God has given us the right to choose. The original sin was when the first man, Adam, deliberately chose to listen to Satan's lie and disobey God. In other words, he yielded his will to Satan rather than to God, in spite of the fact that God told him that when he disobeyed Him and ate the forbidden fruit, he would die -- and he did, spiritually; he lost his contact with God. The fruit itself had no effect on Adam; the act of disobedience did.
God so loved His creation, man, that He found a way to redeem him through His Son, Jesus Christ, paying the penalty of his disobedience on the cross.
God declares through the Bible over and over again, that if man will now believe, accept what God has done to save him, yield his will to God, which Adam did not, God will forgive his sins, save his soul from eternal darkness, and give him eternal life in God's kingdom.
There is no simpler truth in all the universe. Simply yield your will to God, trust Him for your soul salvation and He will give you a far better expectation than extinction.
The Rev. Pritt of Hurricane is an ordained Baptist minister with "bi-vocational" status, including employment outside the church.

text: Lori Culler Archives Email Author Survival of the Family Business Managing Talent Is your business ready for tragedy at the top? Published on: August 9, 2013 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Blog RSS Permalink Print I was driving home from a client meeting last Thursday when I received some awful news: my uncle, James Lennard, had unexpectedly passed away. He had worked on the farm the majority of his life and even in his retirement was still found on a tractor helping out with fall tillage. He was a big influence in my life and is a person who will be greatly missed. It's common in any farm magazine to read about tips for succession planning on farms and the transitioning of management over several years. With the recent passing, I can't help but wonder if farms are prepared if the unexpected happens tomorrow with an owner or senior leader. It's difficult enough to deal with the loss, let alone make business decisions that impact the future of the company during that grieving time.Your action plan should be clearly laid out so it's there when you need it. How will the business quickly adapt and function successfully with the sudden gap in leadership? Who will replace the lost decision maker? Is that one individual or two? If it is a single owner and the spouse is not actively involved, what steps is he or she to take? Who should he or she turn to? Action plan In order for the business to continue successfully, an action plan must be in place to manage through the crisis of a disability or passing of leadership. The plan should be reviewed at least once a year and communicated with all those included in the plan. It's not comfortable to talk about such unexpected tragedies, but in looking at keeping the business for future generations, it's a must have. There are several items to consider. Should there be a team put in place to manage the business until the role is replaced? This team could be made up of internal and external individuals who come together to make decisions in the interim. Insurance policies are also a way to relieve financial burden and stress on the business. Consider a life insurance policy to cover a portion of the debt and disability insurance in the event one of the family members is unable to contribute physically or mentally, but still needs income. Besides the bigger picture decisions, how will the business perform daily transactions? Standard operating procedures ensure anyone can jump in any role at any time. All roles from accounts payable to management should have them in place. Passwords to all accounts should be kept where at least one other person knows how to access them. I keep all my passwords on a protected excel worksheet and one other person knows the password to that worksheet. Ensure all accounts have at least two individuals who can access and manage the account, such as bank accounts, cell phones, credit cards, etc. At your next managers meeting, I encourage you to bring up the discussion and start taking steps to prepare.

Specificity / Sensitivity
Phospho-p38 MAPK (Thr180/Tyr182) (28B10) Mouse mAb (Alexa Fluor® 488 Conjugate) detects endogenous levels of p38 MAP kinase only when dually phosphorylated at Thr180 and Tyr182. This antibody does not appreciably cross-react with the corresponding phosphorylated forms of either p44/42 MAPK (Erk1/2) or SAPK/JNK.
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Thr180/Tyr182 of human p38 MAP kinase. Antibody was conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 488 under optimum conditions with an F/P ratio of 2-6.
This Cell Signaling Technology antibody is conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorescent dye and tested in-house for direct flow cytometric analysis of human and mouse cells. The unconjugated antibody #9216 reacts with human, mouse, rat, D. melanogaster, monkey, S. cerevisiae and zebra fish phospho-p38 MAPK (Thr180/Tyr182). CST expects that Phospho-p38 MAPK (Thr180/Tyr182) (28B10) Mouse mAb (Alexa Fluor® 488 Conjugate) will also recognize p44/42 MAPK in these species.
p38 MAP kinase (MAPK), also called RK (1) or CSBP (2), is the mammalian orthologue of the yeast HOG kinase that participates in a signaling cascade controlling cellular responses to cytokines and stress (1-4). Four isoforms of p38 MAPK, p38α, β, γ (also known as Erk6 or SAPK3), and δ (also known as SAPK4) have been identified. Similar to the SAPK/JNK pathway, p38 MAPK is activated by a variety of cellular stresses including osmotic shock, inflammatory cytokines, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), UV light, and growth factors (1-5). MKK3, MKK6, and SEK activate p38 MAPK by phosphorylation at Thr180 and Tyr182. Activated p38 MAPK has been shown to phosphorylate and activate MAPKAP kinase 2 (3) and to phosphorylate the transcription factors ATF-2 (5), Max (6), and MEF2 (5-8).
SB203580 (4-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(4-methylsulfinylphenyl)-5-(4-pyridyl)-imidazole) is a selective inhibitor of p38 MAPK. This compound inhibits the activation of MAPKAPK-2 by p38 MAPK and subsequent phosphorylation of HSP27 (9). SB203580 inhibits p38 MAPK catalytic activity by binding to the ATP-binding pocket, but does not inhibit phosphorylation of p38 MAPK by upstream kinases (10).

Wireless standard organization conducts "plugfest" to test device interoperability
ISA100 Wireless Compliance Institute brings Honeywell, Yokogawa, Nivis, GE, Yamatake, Fuji Electric, and R3 Sensors devices to verify working interoperability.
The ISA100 Wireless Compliance Institute (WCI) announced the success of its recent "Wireless Plugfest" – a structured WCI member program conducted periodically to validate interoperability of wireless products compliant with the ISA100.11a standard. The event was held in December 2010, at National Technical Systems (NTS) labs in Los Angeles, CA. NTS is an independent third-party engineering, testing, and certification company.
The WCI Technical Steering Committee designed and planned this series of test scenarios to confirm interoperability characteristics in four functional categories; provisioning, networking, application configuration, and data publishing.
"We were thrilled with the outcome of the December 2010 WCI Wireless Plugfest and will expand the Plugfest program on an ongoing basis," said Andre Ristaino, managing director of WCI. "Our objective is to improve the user experience with ISA100-based products and maintain confidence in our declaration of assured interoperability. As new ISA100.11a devices pass certification, we will expand our product testing scenarios to confirm the scalability, reliability, and performance benefits of the ISA100.11a standard."
Test engineers successfully demonstrated interoperability of ISA100.11a-based manufacturer field devices, provisioning devices, and gateways. The test included registered devices submitted by suppliers including the Honeywell high-level analog input (HLAI) device, pressure and temperature devices, and Yokogowa pressure and temperature transmitters. Using a structured plan for assessing multiple combinations of network configurations, devices from participating suppliers were joined to gateways from Honeywell, Yokogawa, and Nivis, and then configured to publish data through those gateways.
"We were able to demonstrate the effectiveness of the WCI technical documentation and the interoperability of the ISA100.11a devices and profiles," said Osman Sakr, CTO of National Technical Systems.
The ISA100.11a industrial wireless networking standard is the first in the ISA100 family of standards. This wireless mesh network protocol standard ensures that supplier companies will build interoperable wireless automation control products. As a result, ISA100.11a device suppliers are able to create, modify, optimize, and scale a wireless network quickly, cost-effectively, and seamlessly. Interoperability provides users the freedom to choose field devices from any supplier, that are simple to deploy, reliable in operation, and support future applications.

Some of the world's major banks are willing to do business with corrupt regimes. By doing so they facilitate corruption and looting of natural resource revenues, denying some of the world's poorest people a chance to escape poverty.
Many of the resource-rich countries that Global Witness works in have been looted by the very politicians who have been entrusted with developing those economies. The days of politicians walking into a bank with a briefcase stuffed full of cash are largely over. Nowadays corruption is through electronic wire transfers and front companies.
In March 2009 Global Witness published a comprehensive and ambitious report that exposed the dark underbelly of global finance. Undue Diligence: How banks do business with corrupt regimes detailed how a number of the world's largest banks, including HSBC, Citibank, and Barclays, have done business with some of the world's most corrupt regimes, including Equatorial Guinea, Turkmenistan and Charles Taylor's Liberia.
Global Witness targets law-makers, international organisations, regulators and the banks themselves in an effort to make it harder for corrupt politicians to access the financial system. As a result of our campaigning this issue has risen up the international agenda, with the G20 group of leading economies taking particular interest. National governments have also taken an interest, and some governments have started to alter their anti-money laundering regulations to reflect Global Witness concerns.
One of the international institutions that we work closely with is the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the global body that sets the anti-money laundering standards to tackle financial crime. In part to due to pressure from organisations such as Global Witness, the FATF is increasingly focusing on how to stop corrupt politicians from accessing the financial system. The FATF needs to close loopholes in its own standards as well as put more pressure on countries to properly implement its standards.
We combine our advocacy work with in-depth investigations. The Secret Life of a Shopaholic , launched in November 2009, showed how Teodorin Obiang, son of the President of the oil-rich West African state, went on a multi-million dollar shopping spree in the U.S., including buying a $35 million mansion and a private jet, thanks in part to American banks having allowed his corruptly-acquired funds into the country.

Kotarou robot responds to touch

Arsene Wenger is convinced Arsenal have the strength of character needed to force themselves back into the top four of the Premier League.
The Gunners head to Sunderland this weekend on the back of a 7-1 thrashing of Blackburn at Emirates Stadium, which was a welcome first league win of 2012 and helped reduce the gap on fourth-placed Chelsea to just three points.
After visiting the resurgent Black Cats, Wenger's men host four of the five clubs above them over the coming weeks, and the Arsenal boss is confident his team can produce the goods when it matters.
'We still have real hope that we can finish the season the strongest,' said the Frenchman.
'We have a good spirit and desire within the group – and we have quality. We know that with the position we are in we need an exceptional consistency, so that is the challenge we have in front of us at Sunderland.'
Arsenal's worries at full-back have eased somewhat in recent games with the return to match fitness of right-back Bacary Sagna , while England left-back Kieran Gibbs is also close to being in contention again after his groin problems.
Fellow defender Johan Djourou did not feature in the squad against Blackburn but the 25-year-old appears to remain very much part of Wenger's plans, with the Swiss Football Association yesterday claiming Djourou has agreed to extend his contract until 2015.
Djourou, who came up through the Arsenal youth ranks, said: 'I like this club and I want to stay here as long as possible.
'I currently work in the background, waiting to have another chance to show my potential. I have confidence in the future.'

Hi Irina, this looks very nice :-) Im romanian and would like to see romanian girls wearing something like this in country side but beleve me its not like this :-) our traditional romanian costumes are much more diffrent, only hand sewing embrodery is very much used but I wouldnt say that this is romanian :-)
Aug 4, 2013, 07.44 AMby Irina Schwab
I know, mihaela, i am romanian, too! I was looking for genuine romanian fabric, but it is hard to get and very expensive. many blouses were sold by their relatives, but the old people keep everything because they bury themselves with them. tradition! So this was the closest alternative, the table cloth was embroidered in england by someone with romanian roots. i saw smth similar in our countryside in prahova. Anyway, i know how to make my own crossstitching on linen, however no time!!!

Order: | Lamiales |
Family: | Lamiaceae |

Binomial name | |
Melissa officinalis L.[1] |
Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), also known as balm[2] or balm mint and not to be confused with bee balm (which is genus Monarda), is a perennial herb in the mint family Lamiaceae, native to center-southern Europe and the Mediterranean region.
It grows to 70–150 cm tall. The leaves have a gentle lemon scent, related to mint. During summer, small white flowers full of nectar appear. These attract bees, hence the genus name Melissa (Greek for 'honey bee'). Its flavour comes from citronellal (24%), geranial (16%), linalyl acetate (12%) and caryophyllene (12%).[citation needed]
In North America, Melissa officinalis has escaped cultivation and spread into the wild.[3]
Lemon balm requires light and at least 20 degrees Celsius (70 degrees Fahrenheit) to germinate.
Lemon balm grows in clumps and spreads vegetatively as well as by seed. In mild temperate zones, the stems of the plant die off at the start of the winter, but shoot up again in spring. Lemon Balm grows vigorously and should not be planted where it will spread into other plantings.
Melissa officinalis may be the "honey-leaf" (μελισσόφυλλον) mentioned by Theophrastus.[4] It was in the herbal garden of John Gerard, 1596.[5] There are many cultivars of Melissa officinalis, such as:
- M. officinalis 'Citronella'
- M. officinalis 'Lemonella'
- M. officinalis 'Quedlinburger'
- M. officinalis 'Lime'
- M. officinalis 'Variegata'
- M. officinalis 'Aurea'
(M. officinalis 'Quedlinburger Niederliegende' is an Improved variety bred for high essential oil content.)
Culinary use[edit]
Lemon balm is often used as a flavouring in ice cream and herbal teas, both hot and iced, often in combination with other herbs such as spearmint. It is also frequently paired with fruit dishes or candies. It can be used in fish dishes and is the key ingredient in lemon balm pesto. It has been suggested that it might be a better, healthier preservative than beta hydroxy acid in sausages.[6]
Uses in traditional and alternative medicine[edit]
In the traditional Austrian medicine Melissa officinalis leaves have been prescribed for internal (as tea) or external (essential oil) application for the treatment of disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, nervous system, liver and bile.[7]
Lemon balm is the main ingredient of Carmelite Water, which is still for sale in German pharmacies.[8]
Lemon balm essential oil is very popular in aromatherapy. The essential oil is commonly co-distilled with lemon oil, citronella oil, or other oils.
Research into possible effects on humans[edit]
High doses of purified lemon balm extracts were found to be effective in the amelioration of laboratory-induced stress in human subjects, producing "significantly increased self-ratings of calmness and reduced self-ratings of alertness." The authors further report a "significant increase in the speed of mathematical processing, with no reduction in accuracy" following the administration of a 300 mg dose of extract.[9]
Lemon balm is believed to inhibit the absorption of the thyroid medication thyroxine.[10]
Recent research found a daily dose of the tea reduced oxidative stress status in radiology staff that were exposed to persistent low-dose radiation during work. After only 30 days of taking the tea daily, researchers found Lemon balm tea resulted in a significant improvement in plasma levels of catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase and a marked reduction in plasma DNA damage, myeloperoxidase, and lipid peroxidation.[11]
The crushed leaves, when rubbed on the skin, are used as a repellent for mosquitoes.[12]
Lemon balm is also used medicinally as an herbal tea, or in extract form. It is used as an anxiolytic, mild sedative, or calming agent.[medical citation needed] At least one study has found it to be effective at reducing stress, although the study's authors call for further research.[13] Lemon balm extract was identified as a potent in vitro inhibitor of GABA transaminase, which explains anxiolytic effects. The major compound responsible for GABA transaminase inhibition activity in lemon balm was then found to be rosmarinic acid.[14]
Lemon balm and preparations thereof also have been shown to improve mood and mental performance. These effects are believed to involve muscarinic and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.[15] Positive results have been achieved in a small clinical trial involving Alzheimer patients with mild to moderate symptoms.[16] Essential oils obtained from Melissa officinalis leaf showed high acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase co-inhibitory activities.[17]
Its antibacterial properties have also been demonstrated scientifically, although they are markedly weaker than those from a number of other plants studied.[18] The extract of lemon balm was also found to have exceptionally high antioxidant activity.[19]
Lemon balm is mentioned in the scientific journal Endocrinology, where it is explained that Melissa officinalis exhibits antithyrotropic activity, inhibiting TSH from attaching to TSH receptors, hence making it of possible use in the treatment of Graves' disease or hyperthyroidism.[20]
Lemon balm contains eugenol, tannins, and terpenes.[21] Melissa officinalis also contains 1-octen-3-ol, 10-alpha-cadinol, 3-octanol, 3-octanone, alpha-cubebene, alpha-humulene, beta-bourbonene, caffeic acid, caryophyllene, caryophyllene oxide, catechinene, chlorogenic acid, cis-3-hexenol, cis-ocimene, citral A, citral B, citronellal, copaene, delta-cadinene, eugenyl acetate, gamma-cadinene, geranial, geraniol, geranyl acetate, germacrene D, isogeranial, linalool, luteolin-7-glucoside, methylheptenone, neral, nerol, octyl benzoate, oleanolic acid, pomolic acid, protocatechuic acid, rhamnazine, rosmarinic acid, rosmarinin acid, stachyose, succinic acid, thymol, trans-ocimene and ursolic acid.[22] Lemon balm contains harmine.[23]
