| Daylight robbery
Mid-morning, time for elevenses. You reach into your drawer only to discover that half your biscuits have once again vanished, your banana has done another runner, or, perhaps more troublingly, the loose change you keep for the tea run has mysteriously disappeared. Theft from the workplace is not uncommon. Many of us will know someone who has been a victim; whether it's having a mobile lifted from the desk, a wallet taken from a drawer, or a laptop go walkabout. Last year, life assistance company CPP Group reported that 70% of us believe we can trust our work colleagues 100%. It's not surprising, then, that we think nothing of leaving a wallet in a jacket while we go into a meeting, or a handbag under the desk while we pop to the loo. Although our immediate colleagues may well be completely honest, it's worth remembering our offices are also open to externally contracted staff, as well as visitors.

Anna Schwartz blames Fed for sub-prime crisis
She still works every day at the National Bureau of Economic Research in New York, where she has toiled since 1941. Her fame comes from a joint opus with Nobel laureate Milton Friedman: A Monetary History of the United States. It revolutionised thinking on the causes of the Great Depression when published in 1965. The book blamed the Fed for causing the slump. The bank failed to use its full bag of tricks to stop the implosion of the money stock, and turned a bust into calamity by raising rates. "The book was a bombshell," says British monetarist Tim Congdon. "Until then almost everybody thought the free-market system itself had failed in the 1930s. What Friedman-Schwartz say was that incompetent government bureaucrats at the Fed had caused the Depression." .
New Tech fan blog: 'Shake and Bake' cooking up great future with ...
JASON JONES: It was about this time last year that Derek Dooley arrived on campus and had to basically start from scratch to put together a recruiting class. To top things off, he had about six weeks to get the job done. This year, thanks to hours and hours of work, Dooley and his staff are sitting in a much better position. Coach Dooley has commitments from 12 high school athletes. In addition, junior college standout Kwame Jordan, a 6-5 defensive end, signed in December. Jordan had offers from Marshall and Troy, but it's his former high school teammate that might be his biggest contribution. John Ehret end Eric Harper switched his commitment from Nebraska to Tech when he visited in December along with Jordan, his former teammate. Other big names pledged to the Dawgs are Bastrop athlete Bud Patterson and Mississippi prep quarterback Bret Jefcoat.
