Stripy scarves must die!

Stripe scarves are starting to become so ubiquitous that they're joining Taz socks and Homer Simpson ties in the naffness leagues, not any old stripe scarf though, it's the fine stripe stretchy knit scarf with usually comes in a burgundy melange of colours and has fringing on the ends.
Present Tense: last minute Christmas gifts
Click image to enlarge
Everyone is guilty of it, (well not everyone, I have a colour-coded Google Docs spreadsheet, natch!) but last-minute Christmas shopping can often leave you with gifts that have an air of desperation about them.
Outfit Pick: Gauche, Awkward and Isaac…
With a new of series of Heroes about to begin, the unfortunate death of Yves Saint Laurent and the number of Clark Kent-y characters about in the most recent blockbusters, my style radar is tuned to the male who's more gauche, awkward and geeky in the best way possible. Think of 1970s art students carrying open sketchbooks around Paris, Isaac Mendez of Heroes lounging around his studio in over-sized chinos and Marc Jacobs around his grunge era (which means big glasses, baggy jumpers and lots of corduroy.) I took a risk with mixing the denim shirt with dark jeans but the two items together are a wearable look that anyone can pull off.
Check out the product details after the jump and see how geeky you can get this winter- Argyle jumper anyone?
Full Circle striped polo shirt
If, for some bizarre reason, you haven't hopped onto the Madras train yet we are still offering alternatives. Alternatives that don't stray outside of the nautical look, but alternatives nonetheless.
Penfield Oxon bag
Whilst leather bags are great and all, there's just something very un-summery about them. The material is pretty heavy and doesn't cope with hot weather very well. Canvas, on the other hand, is a lighter material and copes much better in the sun. If you've been trying to complete a couple of looks, then look no further this Penfield oxon bag.
J.Lindeberg Jumper
Urban Outfitters have taken their sweet time getting their online store the same amount of brands as their physical store but they got there in the end. Now they have brands like D.I.E, Surface to Air, Filippa K and this J.Lindeberg jumper.
T-shirt for under a fiver from Urban Outfitters
I'm surprised this T-shirt has gone into clearance. There's nowt wrong with it.
How to: Cardigans
The rise of the cardigan has surely sounded the death knell for the blazer and jeans look.
Andy Capp t-shirt from Urban Outfitters
Pledge your allegiance to the olden days, and all things British with Urban Outfitters' Andy capp t-shirt. It comes in grey marl and black. Andy Capp been lazing, boozing and arguing since 1957, and since his creator Reg Whyte's death in 1998 the strip has been lovingly kept going. For a truly authentic look you'll need to accessorise the t-shirt …
Umbro by Kim Jones
Umbro must be looking to move away from their beer boy image with their collaboration with Kim Jones. Understandably so, as the usual stuff is a bit naff, but the Kim Jones collections are fresh and cater for a range of styles. My favourite items from his A/W 07 collections are the wetlook windcheaters, I'm a bit obsessed with that …

DENVER (AP) — Two states that approved recreational use of marijuana are waiting to hear how the federal government intends respond to the measures.
The governor of Colorado said he planned to talk by phone with U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder about the measures that contradict federal law banning the use of pot.
Seventeen states and Washington, D.C., already allow marijuana use by people with certain medical conditions. Still, federal drug law outlaws use of the drug in all circumstances.
Voters in Colorado and Washington pushed the limits even further when they approved ballot measures Tuesday allowing adults over 21 to possess small amounts of marijuana under state regulation and taxation.
Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper has said Colorado will respect the will of voters but added that he was awaiting word from the U.S. Department of Justice on how to proceed.
"In a situation like this, where our law is at loggerheads with federal law, my primary job is to listen first," the governor said.
Hickenlooper opposed the ballot measure and has downplayed the likelihood of a commercial marijuana market materializing in Colorado.
"Based on federal law, if it's still illegal under federal law, I can't imagine that 7-Eleven is ever going to sell it," he said.
Marijuana advocates hope the federal government maintains its current posture of mostly ignoring states that flout federal law by allowing medical use under certain circumstances.
The U.S. government has cracked down during the past two years on more than 500 marijuana dispensaries in several states, but no one has faced federal prosecution for personal use.
"It would certainly be a travesty if the Obama administration used its power to impose marijuana prohibition upon a state whose people have declared, through the democratic process, that they want it to end," said Brian Vicente, co-author of Colorado's marijuana measure.
Earlier this week, Justice Department spokeswoman Nanda Chitre said enforcement of the federal Controlled Substances Act remained unchanged.
"In enacting the Controlled Substances Act, Congress determined that marijuana is a Schedule I controlled substance," Chitre said. "We are reviewing the ballot initiative and have no additional comment at this time."
Eric Brown, a spokesman for Hickenlooper, would not say whether the governor planned to disclose the details of his call with Holder.
If Colorado's marijuana ballot measure is not blocked, it would take effect by Jan. 5, the deadline for the governor to add the amendment to the state constitution. The measure allows adults to possess up to an ounce of marijuana, and six marijuana plants, though public use of the drug and driving while intoxicated are prohibited.
Colorado's measure also directs lawmakers to write regulations on how pot can be sold, with commercial sales possible by 2014.

MUMBAI, India (AP) — Asian stocks drifted on Wednesday as investors remained cautious amid uncertainty over potential conflict in Ukraine and Iraq plus new numbers showing a slowdown in Japan's economy.
KEEPING SCORE: Japan's Nikkei 225 was up 0.2 percent to 15,186.10. Hong Kong's Hang Seng shed 0.1 percent to 24,662.88. China's Shanghai Composite dropped 0.6 percent to 2,207.30 and Australia's S&P/ASX 200 fell 0.3 percent to 5,515.20. Seoul's Kospi added 0.6 percent to 2,053.75.
JAPAN SLOWS: Government figures showed Japan's economy shrank at an annual pace of 6.8 percent in the second quarter after spending got slammed by a sales tax hike that kicked in from April. The weak figures were expected as consumers and businesses had front-loaded spending in the first quarter to beat the April 1 increase in sales tax. Economists expect spending to pick up again in coming months.
INSTABILITY JITTERS: Fears of a Russian invasion of Ukraine have faded in recent days, but worries about conflicts around the globe are likely to keep investors on edge. A convoy of more than 260 Russian trucks, reportedly packed with supplies, moved toward Russia's border with Ukraine on Tuesday, but Kiev said the goods would only be allowed to cross if they were inspected by the International Red Cross. Ukraine is fearful that Russia could use the move as a cover for sending troops into separatist-held territory. Investors are also watching political machinations in oil-rich Iraq. On Tuesday, that nation's embattled prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, tried to stay in power as Iraqi politicians and the international community rallied behind a political rival.
ANALYST TAKE: "It certainly seems to be a headline geopolitical risk driven market at the moment, as any news out of Russia, Ukraine or Iraq dictates sentiment," said IG market strategist Stan Shamu.
WALL STREET: The Dow Jones industrial average lost 0.1 percent to 16,560.54 on Tuesday. The Standard & Poor's 500 fell 0.2 percent to 1,933.75 and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.3 percent to 4,389.25.
OIL LEAK: U.S. crude oil futures slipped 16 cents to $97.21 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. That followed three days of increases over concerns about the reliability of Iraqi oil production. U.S. crude is trading at a seven-month low.
CURRENCIES: The euro slipped to $1.3365 from $1.3370 late Tuesday. The dollar was steady at 102.29 yen.

Thierry Henry scores 2 as Red Bulls win 4th in row
Thierry Henry scores 2 as Red Bulls win 4th in row
May. 09, 2013
HARRISON, N.J. (AP) — Sometime after he retires, Thierry Henry of the New York Red Bulls may look back on his spectacular bicycle kick against the Montreal Impact and say it was one of the best goals of his long career.
After the Red Bulls' 2-1 win Wednesday night, Henry was more concerned that his team almost blew a 2-0 lead in the closing minutes with him sitting on the bench after being lifted so the crowd could salute him.
"When I was on the bench I was going crazy, the way we finished," said Henry, who scored both goals to lead New York to its fourth straight win. "That's the way I am. Hopefully, I will have the time to enjoy all the goals I scored in my career, but not now. That's what I have on my mind now, the way we finished the game."
The end was scary when it should have been a laugher after Henry's fifth goal of the year gave New York a 2-0 lead in the 88th minute.
Marco Di Vaio cut the lead in half, scoring for Montreal in the 90th minute. The second-half substitute almost tied the game a minute later, hitting both goalposts on one shot.
"I have been fortunate to score some good goals in my career," said Henry, who has more than 300 career goals as a professional. "But you cannot think about it right now. What I am thinking about right now is we have to play better until the end of the game."
However, Henry's fifth goal of the season was all anyone will remember. Juninho took a corner kick from the right side that Red Bulls defender Markus Holgersson flicked toward the left post. Henry brought the 11,892 fans out of their seats when he went head over heels to drill the ball into the net.
Red Bulls midfielder Tim Cahill has seen Henry score his share of goals in England.
"Tonight shows the class he's got," Cahill said. "When we need him, he comes up trumps and that goal was pretty special. That finish, it was classy. That's what you need."
Di Vaio got his fifth goal of the season off a turnover two minutes later and he nearly got his sixth a minute later. His shot banged off the right goalpost, slammed into the left and somehow stayed out of the net, avoiding a dramatic letdown.
"That shot was mind-blowing," Petke said. "I don't know how it didn't go in. Those are the things that drive you crazy. We have to manage the game a little better than that."
The loss was only the second for Montreal (5-2-2).
"We never gave up," Impact coach Marco Schallibaum added. "This was one of our best games away from home. My guys were in very good position."
Henry had given the Red Bulls a 1-0 lead late in first-half stoppage time.
The goal came on a counterattack with Henry sending a pass from midfield to Eric Alexander on the right wing. He cut into the box and fired a shot that hit the bottom of the crossbar. Fabian Espindola, who came on in the 25th minute when Peguy Luyindola injured his left hamstring, got the rebound and centered the ball to Henry. The Frenchman's shot from 5 yards out went into the net off the leg of Impact defender Hassoun Camara.
"That's why he is on the field," Petke said of Henry. "It just takes a moment of magic from him, and he had two tonight."
The win avenged a 1-0 loss to the Impact in Montreal earlier this season.
The Impact, who rested Di Vaio until the 66th minute because they played in San Jose over the weekend, had a couple of good first-half chances against Luis Robles. Sanna Nyassi had the best, breaking past the Red Bulls' defense in the 21st minute, only to have Robles come out and smother his shot.
Henry could have had two goals in the half. His shot in the 18th minute went just wide of the right goalpost.
Nyassi had two other chances in the two minutes before Robles stoned him in close. The Gambian was wide of the right post in the 19th minute and hit the crossbar in the 20th.
Robles stopped a shot in the box by Andrew Wenger just seconds before the counterattack that led to Henry's goal.

Office REIT stock prices hit rock bottom on March 6, down nearly 70% from their February 2007 highs, according to REIT consultant Green Street Advisors. Investors feared that the highly leveraged office REIT sector, faced with hefty debt maturities in an illiquid marketplace, did not have enough cash to weather the downturn.
Since the sector's early March lows, office REIT executives have been working overtime to repair their balance sheets with stock offerings and other equity-raising exercises. No fewer than 10 office REITs have announced common stock offerings since February. Among the bold moves:
New York office landlord SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE: SLG) gained $57.5 billion from buying back $224.9 million of its unsecured notes at a discount. The REIT also raised $387.4 million through a stock offering of 2.5 million common shares.
Douglas Emmett (NYSE: DEI), which owns well-located office properties in West Los Angeles and Honolulu, bought back 605,600 of its common shares at an average price of $6.27 per share. By early June, the shares had jumped to $9.86. The company has roughly $2.6 billion in debt maturing in 2012, according to Green Street.
Brandywine Realty Trust (NYSE: BDN) raised $242.5 million when it issued over 40 million shares of common stock in late May. The office REIT has more than $1 billion in debt due through 2012, according to company CEO Jerry Sweeney.
Tough times ahead
For the past few months, investors have watched with approval as more and more REITs have taken measures to reduce their debt and squirrel away cash. This new confidence is manifested in the stock prices, which jumped nearly 50% for office REITs from March through the end of May.
But the industry isn't out of the woods yet. Now that the first round of deleveraging is well under way, investors are turning their attention to declining office fundamentals, which are expected to deteriorate as job losses mount. Moody's Economy.com projects the U.S. unemployment rate to reach 10.1% near the end of this year. Commercial office vacancies and rents, however, aren't expected to bottom out until early 2011.
"On the office side, we're fairly cautious," says Tim Pire, managing director of real estate investment management firm Heitman, based in Chicago. "Office is probably going to be, from a fundamentals perspective, the sector that bottoms last in terms of overall cash-flow declines."
Contrary to the oft-reported storyline that office REITs are building their war chests to take advantage of distress opportunities, at the moment deleveraging is the main focus, says industry veteran Barry Vinocur, CEO of REIT Zone Publications in Novato, Calif.
In fact, experts predict a tough and long row to hoe for office REITs and their investors. In today's volatile equities market, investors have a few more considerations to take into account when sizing up an office REIT, says Ralph Block, CEO of Essential REIT Publishing Co. and author of "Investing in REITs," a book suitable for new investors.
Is the price right?
For starters, investors need to pay more attention to the specific markets in which a REIT's properties are located. "We've never had a situation where we've had such a wide range of local economic markets," says Block. For instance, Phoenix does not share the same robust health as Washington, D.C. In metro D.C., the office vacancy rate for all classes of space was a tight 8.5% in the first quarter, while in Phoenix, where home foreclosures are rampant, the vacancy rate topped 20.6%.
Office REIT balance sheets, once largely conservative, are now of paramount concern to investors. Due to the quick and unexpected drop in commercial real estate values, many REITs are now highly leveraged. Green Street noted in a March 20 report that the average leverage for office REITs was 63%, weighted by market cap, compared with an average leverage of 56% for all REITs over the same period.
Although a REIT's properties might be performing well, the company could have maturing debt that can't be refinanced, which would then potentially force it to let go of high-quality assets at fire-sale prices, notes Block.
While office building values in the private market could ultimately drop by 40% from peak to trough, as many analysts predict, office REIT asset values on average have already dropped by 40% from their 2007 peaks, according to Green Street Advisors. "Clearly [commercial real estate] values are down," Vinocur says, "but what people are missing is that REITs have already essentially factored that discount into pricing."
REITs also are a forward-looking indicator and lead the broader property market by at least six months, according to an April 21 study by New York-based REIT investment firm Cohen & Steers. The reasoning is that the liquidity of REITs provides greater transparency in pricing and a faster transfer of information than less-liquid direct markets, according to Scott Crowe, global portfolio manager with the firm and co-author of the study.
If indeed office REIT stocks are now fairly valued, then the low-hanging fruit investors plucked from early March to late May when office REIT stocks jumped 50% isn't likely to reappear anytime soon, says Michael Knott, senior REIT analyst with Green Street Advisors. Rather than expect an upside on stock prices, investors itching to get into the sector should be content with dividend yields, which average about 7%.
"It's really difficult right now for a traditional REIT investor because it's hard to know [which metric] to look at," says Block.
Historically net asset value (NAV) — which takes into account the value of a REIT's underlying properties — has been a mainstay metric to value REIT stocks under normal market conditions. But NAV may not be the best yardstick in today's economic environment. That's because transactions by dollar volume from May 2007 through May of this year plunged 96%, according to New York-based Real Capital Analytics.
Given that properties aren't trading, Block favors implied nominal capitalization rates, which show what kind of cap rates are being used to value a REIT stock at any particular point in time.
For instance, if a well-heeled REIT like Boston Properties had an implied nominal cap rate of 8.5% in today's market, but an investor believes the REIT should be trading at a 6.5% cap rate when the economy shakes out, the stock would be considered cheap, Block explains.
Office REIT investors seeking earnings growth are likely to be disappointed over the next couple of years, experts warn. As REITs make secondary stock offerings to pay down debt, funds from operations (FFO), a measure of REIT earnings, will be diluted.
Brandywine shovels debt
Despite its recent round of equity offerings, the office REIT sector is heavy with debt and needs to go on a crash diet. "The debt issue is still a concern for the office companies, but not for liquidity reasons," says Knott. Going forward, he says, office REITs must continue retiring debt to reduce their average leverage ratio to around 40%. That's the level needed to optimize the REIT capital structure and to put the companies in position to take advantage of future opportunities.
Brandywine Realty Trust, whose leverage based on the total market value of its assets in late March was 75%, according to Green Street, has gone a long way. The Radnor, Pa.-based REIT owns, develops and manages a portfolio of primarily Class-A suburban and urban office properties totaling 37.3 million sq. ft.
Until Brandywine completed its offering of 40.2 million common shares on June 2, REIT experts expressed serious doubt about the company's ability to survive.
Prior to the secondary offering, Brandywine's stock sold for as little as $2 per share. By June 5, the share price rose to $7.34, still less than half of its 52-week high of $19.86. The company used the net proceeds of $242.5 million to reduce its unsecured credit facility to about zero, according to Sweeney, the company's CEO. Through 2012, the REIT's total maturities for both secured and unsecured debt are a little more than $1 billion, he says.
"We've made tremendous progress in the last five or six quarters and we've paid down over $700 million of debt [including the recent equity offering], which was a long way toward accomplishing our goal," he says. Based on a different measure, debt to gross assets, Sweeney says Brandywine is now about 46% leveraged, from a peak of 55%.
With the debt markets essentially frozen, Brandywine, like other REITs, has not been able to rely on the bond markets to take out existing debt maturities. However, because the company has a large pool of unencumbered properties, Brandywine's capital plan now includes swapping equity for debt.
"The markets are very responsive to the companies that come out and say, 'These are our maturities. This is what's going on and we're acting thoroughly to address it,'" explains James McLaughlin, senior vice president of KeyBank Real Estate Capital's structured real estate group.
Debt at a discount
"The worse off a REIT is the bigger the discount it can get on its debt. That's a smart thing to do, too, as long as it has the liquidity to do that," says Block.
Brandywine, like many office REITs, also is buying back debt at a discount. Over the past three or four quarters, says Sweeney, his company has bought back $322 million in bonds at roughly a 12% discount.
"What that enabled us to do was go into the marketplace and buy our debt, which was trading at less than par," Sweeney explains. "That enables us to retire debt early, and because of the discount on some of that debt we were able to effectively delever the company as well."
SL Green has also drawn from that well. According to an April 27 company report, the REIT repurchased approximately $224.9 million of its unsecured notes this year, from which it realized gains of roughly $57.5 billion.
The company had been reluctant to issue new equity prior to its May offering of 2.5 million shares of common stock. "They thought the valuations were too low and the world had overly discounted the way everything was going to play out," says Knott.
In the end, net proceeds from the stock sale, approximately $387.4 million, will help to remove the risk associated with the company's 2011 and 2012 debt maturities, about $1.8 billion and $547 million respectively, according to Green Street.
The cost to shareholders was high: SL Green chopped its quarterly dividend by 73%, to 10 cents per share. That was on top of a 52% cut at the end of 2008, according to analyst Todd Lukasik of Denver-based Morningstar.
Other REITs, like Brookfield Property Corp. (NYSE: BPO), are preserving precious cash by offering shareholders the opportunity to acquire additional common shares by reinvesting their dividends in lieu of cash payment.
Stick with the winners
The overarching advice to office investors is simple but worth repeating. "Be cautious: Get in with the right REIT, pick somebody with a good balance sheet and a good, safe dividend," advises Pire of Heitman. "An earnings growth story is not a reason to do it because that's probably not going to occur."
Which REITs are head and shoulders above the rest? Boston Properties, Douglas Emmett, Vornado Realty Trust, Mack-Cali Realty Corp., Duke Realty Corp., Highwoods Properties, Liberty Property Trust and Corporate Office Properties Trust are all members of the "good camp" of office REITs, according to David AuBuchon, senior research analyst with Robert W. Baird & Co.
"Those are the companies that have the appropriate capital structures, that are not going to run into issues with refinancing their business and the debt that comes due," he says.
And finally, AuBuchon advises there's no greater commodity in the current downturn than patience. "That's what investors are going to need because it's going to be awhile before we see positive fundamentals."

Office REITs Rush to Market With Equity Offerings
As the economic tide has continued to roll out in 2009 laying bare the heavy leverage of office REITs, the sector has fought back with a historic wave of stock offerings to bolster their liquidity. Experts say these office companies will continue to focus on deleveraging to meet near-term debt maturities.

Chicken Breasts with Cilantro and Red Thai Curry Peanut Sauce
The sauce was great on chicken, but I think you could also serve it on pork, fish, broccoli, or cauliflower. Any other ideas for using the extra sauce? Let me know in the comments.
(Chicken Breasts with Cilantro and Red Thai Curry Peanut Sauce was updated with better photos January 2012.)
You'll also need a generous amount of finely chopped fresh cilantro.
Then remove chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep it warm.
And just for fun, here's my original photo of this dish from back in 2007! Kind of orange, don't you think!
Chicken Breasts with Cilantro and Red Thai Curry Peanut Sauce
(4 servings, with lots of extra sauce for another use, from Fine Cooking Annual with slight adaptations by Kalyn)
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thick
2 T peeled and minced fresh ginger
1 T chopped fresh garlic
1/2 cup smooth natural peanut butter (without added sugar) at room temperature
1/4 cup rice vinegar (not "seasoned" vinegar which has sugar)
2 T soy sauce
2 T sweetener of your choice (Use Stevia Granulated or other sweetener for lowest carbs)
1 tsp. red Thai Curry Paste (I like Thai Kitchen brand)
3 T homemade chicken stock or canned chicken broth
fresh ground black pepper to taste
about 2 T peanut oil (depends on your pan)
1 cup unsweetened regular or lite coconut milk
4 T finely chopped cilantro (or more), plus more for garnish if desired (Use thinly sliced green onions if you're not a cilantro fan)
Heat the oil in heavy, large frying pan. Season chicken with black pepper, then add chicken to pan and saute over medium heat about until chicken breasts are nicely browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes on first side, and 2-3 minutes more on second side. (It's important not to overcook the chicken; it should feel barely firm to the touch when you take it out of the pan.)
Remove chicken to plate and cover with foil. Reduce heat to low and add 1 cup coconut milk. (You can freeze the other 3/4 cup coconut milk for another time.) Scrape off browned bits from the bottom of the pan, then stir in peanut/curry/ginger paste mixture and heat through, about 2-3 minutes.
Add any juices that have accumulated on the pate and cook another minute or two. Turn off heat and mix in chopped cilantro. Serve the sauce immediately over chicken breasts, with additional chopped cilantro for garnish if desired.
Low-Carb Diet / Low-Glycemic Diet / South Beach Diet Suggestions:
Made with an approved sweetener, natural peanut butter without added sugar, unseasoned rice vinegar, and lite coconut milk, this recipe would be approved for any phase of the South Beach Diet. Even if you used brown sugar and full-fat coconut milk, this would still be a pretty healthy low-carb dish and it should be approved for most low-carb eating plans.

How to detect and prevent procurement fraud
The case for a hybrid analytical approach
Jon Lemon, Senior Solutions Specialist and Industry Consultant, SAS Federal
In 2009, a contract specialist for the US State Department issued a sole source contract to a Virginia company to perform work at US Foreign Service posts around the world. Between 2009 and 2011, that company received 43 contracts worth a total of more than $52 million. Not bad for a company with only three employees.
Trouble was, two of them were the contract specialist's husband and her daughter. The marriage was supposed to be secret, but the couple owned joint property and had posted their wedding photos on social media. Oops. The scheme was successful for a while, but it ended as these things tend to (if discovered) – in a federal indictment.
The procurement process is ripe for fraud. According to Pricewaterhouse Coopers, nearly 30 percent of organizations report incidents that compromise the integrity of the fair bidding process and cause millions of dollars in losses.1
Criminals count on the fact that you're dealing with a huge amount of data and too few humans looking at it.
There are so many ways to exploit the process. For instance, a procurement officer could:
- Falsify or inflate a need for a product or service.
- Write the RFP such that only a favored vendor could qualify.
- Split the business into smaller purchases that fall under the radar.
- Leak details of the bid process to give one vendor an advantage.
Contractors can work in collusion to manipulate how the contract is awarded. You pat my back, I'll pat yours. Or they can submit old pricing schedules to win the business, then try to correct their intentional "error" after the award. The most brazen fraudsters overcharge, deliver counterfeit goods, abuse the change order process, or submit bogus invoices for goods or services that were never delivered.
You would think these tactics would be easy to spot, but they're not. Auditors have relied on cumbersome manual processes, inadequate and siloed data, hindsight reviews, tips and whistleblowers to uncover the fraud. In other words, they learn about it after the fact. After the money has disappeared and the substandard goods have failed.
That's too late.
What if you could connect more dots, and connect them sooner, without a lot of manual intervention? What if you could see fraud coming, even a cleverly designed scheme, and stop it as it happens – or before? You can.
Toward a hybrid analytic approach
Business rules are a good place to start. If bidders show up on a disbarred list, don't give them a contract. If too many invoices come in on the same day, check them out. Simple enough. However, business rules typically only catch simple schemes and data entry errors.
Analytics changes the game. With the right analytic techniques, you can focus on areas that warrant more scrutiny, without delaying proper transactions.
Anomaly detection looks for behaviors that are unusual or unexpected.
- Historical anomaly detection looks at changes in behavior over time. If the system sees a sudden, drastic shift from historical patterns – with nothing to explain it – this would be flagged and factored into the overall fraud risk score.
- Peer grouping or clustering compares one's behavior to the norm for a similar peer group and identifies behaviors that are drastically different from what would be expected for that group or type of procurement.
- Profiling defines the typical attributes of good guys and bad guys. When it sees a pattern that matches that of known fraudsters, the system recognizes and flags it accordingly.
If something is one or two standard deviations from normal, it gets a low risk score and causes no concern. But if a scenario is three, four or 10 times outside the standard deviation of normal, the system will give it a high score and flag it for attention.
Text mining identifies patterns and anomalies from unstructured data, such as reports and social media. For example, if a procurement officer who makes $65,000 a year posts pictures of extravagant purchases on Facebook, you might want to check it out.
With advanced analytics, you can build models that identify attributes or patterns that are highly correlated with known fraud, even for complex and emerging schemes. Analytics answers questions that manual or ad-hoc methods miss. Does this look like the typical habit of bid riggers or those known for counterfeit parts? Does this series of invoices, stair-stepping up and down in dollar value, indicate a vendor trying to find the threshold of scrutiny?
Since much procurement fraud involves collusion, associative linking is invaluable. Link analysis finds relationships among entities based on static attributes (such as phone numbers, addresses or bank accounts) or transactional attributes (business relationships, referrals, etc.). A relationship might be innocuous, but even for valid business you want to be able to show you have done due diligence vetting relationships.
Advantages of a hybrid analytical approach
Each technique has a different fit. Rules screen out straightforward cases. Anomaly detection compares what looks normal and unusual. Predictive analysis finds suspicious patterns that would otherwise be hidden. And link analysis points to possible collusion. Independently, each method is very good at detecting a certain type of fraud, but when used in combination, you can see so much more.
These analytical techniques also provide checks and balances for each other. For example, link analysis might reveal a family relationship between parties, but anomaly detection shows the transaction to be normal compared to others of its type. Nothing untoward. This cross-pollination helps reduce false positives, so the system does not generate alerts that consume investigators' time for no gain.
Ideally, this hybrid approach operates in a loop. What is learned from past fraud (and from suspicious events that proved to be benign) is all fed back into the detection engine to make it ever more accurate and predictive. When the analytics can learn and adapt to change, the system is continuously improving and produces fewer and fewer false positives and false negatives over time.

It took all of Hartor's willpower not to laugh right off at Du'ul's answer. "Come now, Warlord. Do you really expect me to believe that you've been alive for thousands of years? Seriously, how do you know about this planet?"
Du'ul smiled, "Admiral, it's true. I am thousands of years old. And I'll tell you how it happened.
Back in the time of the Old Republic, thousands of years ago, I was a young Jedi apprentice to Master Tharcor, a well-respected and powerful member of the Jedi Order. We were sent on a mission to a world that was rumored to be home to powerful Force-users, and our mission was to see if we could bring them into the fold of the Jedi. It took us several weeks of searching, but we finally found the world we were looking for, and even from space we knew it would be everything we had hoped for. We could feel the Force radiating from this planet and it occupants, and so we were eager to land and get to know the place.
We were directed to a primitive little spaceport, and were greeted by throngs of locals who had detected our Force presence and wished to come speak with us. It was incredible, every person there was as strong as or stronger in the Force than most Jedi I knew, even the more powerful members of the Council. We were brought before their High Council immediately because they wanted to speak to us, their wisest people talking to the Republic's wisest people. It was when we met the Council that things became interesting. Expecting to meet some of their oldest and wisest, we were instead greeted by a group of people no older than eighteen standard years. At first we thought it was a polite joke, or a misunderstanding, but we realized this was not the case. In fact, we realized that there was not an older person in sight!
We kept our curiosity to ourselves for the most part, knowing full well that this was probably a highly guarded secret, and we did not wish to intrude or seem as if we were coming to take any such secrets. After several weeks, we finally did ask them why there were no older people around. They gave us a single answer: The Well.
When we asked what "The Well" was, they took us high up into the mountains, a trip that took days and days. Finally we reached the summit, and there was a massive door in the side of the mountain. One of our guides, the "oldest" member of the Council, reached out and pulled the door open with merely a wave of his hand. My master tried to move it a centimeter and was unable to, that is how heavy the door was. These people were far more powerful in the Force than anyone in the history of the Galaxy! This was an incredible discovery for us, and for the Jedi Order. We walked deep into a cave at the top of the mountain, and there, in the middle of the cave, was a brightly lit well of water. It was the clearest water I had ever seen, but the well extended down far past the extent of the light. They told us the well came from deep beneath the surface of the planet, and was cooled as it came to the top. They said that the water was imbued with the Force, and that any who drank from it could receive eternal life through the Force.
Naturally, we were curious about the water. They told us they had brought us there to taste of the water, to become one of them, to learn their ways so that we could show others as well. My master stepped forward, and reached down to sip the water. As soon as the water touched his lips he began to radiate energy. They asked him to step away, but he took a deeper gulp of the water, and then the energy turned to electricity that arced out from the center of his being. I could feel the Force - and the dark side - growing around him.
He lit his lightsaber and began to attack us. It was all I could do to survive the onslaught. One of the council members called out to me, told me to drink from the well, that it was the only way I could stop him. I managed only a tiny sip, but instantly I felt rejuvenated, and I struck my master down, an act that I will never forget. But they thanked me, and told me that I was now the Warlord of Aeterna, that all of Aeterna - for that was the name of the planet - was now in my debt. I told them that I was a mere apprentice, that I didn't know how to be a warlord, that I didn't want to be a warlord. But they begged me to stay, they began building me a massive fortress befitting a warlord, and so I stayed. For years and years I stayed. Eventually I decided to become the warlord they wanted me to be, and I had them build me factories to produce ships and shipyards, and I produced a fleet. Then I went on the warpath.
I stored the spoils of my war on the planet, and for years I struck out from my hidden base. Soon, the Aeternians grew dissatisfied with all of the killing. When I asked them what they expected a warlord to do, they told me they had wanted a warlord who would conquer and teach, not conquer and pillage. They finally attempted to overthrow me, but I had been growing stronger in the Force by day, until finally even their most powerful Force-user could not touch my power. I ordered a bombardment of the planet, to quell any further resistance to my rule. The last remaining High Council member was on my ship at the time, and the destruction of the planet practically killed him. His last words were this: For the suffering you have brought to this planet, you shall wander the galaxy for five thousand years, never knowing peace.
The next thing I knew I woke up on a ship different from the last one I had been on. I attempted to get back to Aeterna, but I found I could no longer remember the coordinates, or even the sector of space it had been in. All of my work as Warlord had gone to waste. Since then, I have wandered the galaxy, learning, being, waiting. And now, those five thousand long years have passed and I shall have my spoils at last."

When I lived in France, I had no idea there was so much to learn about salt, bread, cheese and on and on. I was bound and determined to figure it out, though. Thank goodness for DK books and Amazon.fr Do you ever order books from Amazon.fr? I have an older version of the 1st book listed. They are handy references.ReplyDelete
Love following your posts
We are all drooling this end....ReplyDelete
This is another gorgeous post, your water colours and discoveries are such an inspiration. Merci!ReplyDelete

The long-running Star Wars MMO, Star Wars Galaxies is to shut down on December 15, 2011, Sony Online Entertainment has announced. The game launched back in June 2003.
The game's official website states: "SOE and LucasArts have mutually agreed that the end of 2011 is the appropriate time" to close the game's servers.
"We are extremely grateful to all of the SWG fans," read the announcement. "We have had the rare opportunity to host one of the most dedicated and passionate online gaming communities and we truly appreciate the support we've received from each and every one of you over the course of the past eight years."
Extended subscription packages will be turned off now and the TCG store is also closed for new business. On September 15 Galaxies and its related trading card game will no longer be available for sale and no new or reactivated accounts will be taken. Billing will switch off on October 15.
The game will, however, go out with a "galaxy-changing in-game event".
"We're going to end with a bang and we want the final chapter of the galaxy to be written in part by the dedicated and passionate SWG community," explained SOE. Look out for more details at a later date.
As a thank you to players, SOE is offering all those with active subs a free two month trial of any of the following between October 15 and December 31: Free Realms, Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures, EverQuest, EverQuest II and DC Universe Online.
It could just be a coincidence, but the timing of the closure does seem to coincide with a planned late 2011 launch for EA and BioWare's Star Wars: The Old Republic.

The WeTab is a tablet-PC by 4tiitoo and Neofonie.
BIOS Update
Download the Bios-Update-Stick-V2.zip from pherzog's website and apply the
.img file inside the zip with dd to a USB Stick like that:
dd if=./Bios-Update-Stick-V2.img of=/dev/sdx
The text file in the zip describes how to boot the USB Stick, this one is a non-literal translation:
- Have the WeTab turned on. Also, have the WeTab connected with the charger, the USB Stick and a Keyboard.
- Turn it off while holding down the "Hotkey" (Upper-left, that touch-sensitive circle)
- It should reboot after approximately five seconds.
- Hold down the "Hotkey" and smash on F11 like it's the last thing you could do before death.
- Select the USB Stick as boot device, follow your common sense from now on.
There's a very hacky solution for getting the HDMI-slot to work in Archlinux.
You first have to install chrontel-wetab-rpm from the AUR.
Then execute the following commands as root:
modprobe i2c-dev mv /dev/i2c-0 /dev/i2c-2 tiitoo-hdmi-daemon
- When you see something on the screen you've plugged on the HDMI-port, you can kill the
tiitoo-hdmi-daemon. But you don't have to.
- These commands have to be executed on every booting process.
- The graphics card in the WeTab is only capable of cloning the output of the internal screen to the HDMI-port, with the same resolution. Because of that, the driver doesn't need a running Xorg to function properly.
