Happy Belated Earth Day! Yes, I know Earth Day was yesterday...hence the belated...but tell the truth did you remember to celebrate? How do you celebrate the Earth? Do you hug a tree, have a neighborhood shredding day, start a compost or just pledge to be more aware? Well whatever you did to mark the day...hats off to you. Because now...today...

There has been a lot of discussion – and differing opinions - around how risk management must change in light of the financial crisis. But to find the path to recovery, there is perhaps some consensus emerging about what steps risk managers must now take.

I find it ever so fascinating to scan the economic news each morning. Doing so reminds me that old curse "May you live in interesting times". As almost anyone will tell you, our world market situation is certainly interesting. What it is not, is enjoyable. Our goal as a civilization, and my goal as an individual professional in this mark...

Identity has become complex due to fraud. Fraud, motivated by money, easy credit, and the ease of account takeover.

Somewhat surprisingly, the rather 'traditional' Daily Telegraph has embraced the hip new thing that is Twitter. So, it decided to add a UK Budget Twitter Fall (live streaming update of tweets) to its site. This means that any tweet containing "#budget" makes it onto the paper's site.
