The former chief executive officer (CEO) and a former trader of ConvergEx Global Markets Limited (CGM Limited) — a former broker-dealer registered in Bermuda — were indicted late yesterday in federal court in the District of New Jersey for allegedly concealing additional fees, which they referred to as “trading profits,” fraudulently charged to clients in connection with orders to buy and sell securities

We have brought to this area very experienced prosecutors, we have very experienced agents who are handling this matter, and doing so, I think, in a fine way. I'm going to get briefed on more of the details about the investigation. I've been kept up to date, but there's nothing that can replace actually coming to the office that's handling the matter, and being able to look in the face the people who are, I think at this point, very ably handling this investigation.

Sixteen former Puerto Rico police officers have pleaded guilty for their roles in a criminal organization run out of the police department. The officers used their affiliation with law enforcement to commit robbery and extortion, to manipulate court records in exchange for bribes, and to sell illegal narcotics

On January 15, 2009, the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review (FISC-R) published an unclassified version of its opinion in In Re: Directives Pursuant to Section 105B of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, 551 F.3d 1004 (Foreign Intel. Surv. Ct. Rev. 2008). The classified version of the opinion was issued on August 22, 2008, following a challenge by Yahoo! Inc. (Yahoo!) to directives issued under the Protect America Act of 2007 (PAA). Today, following a renewed declassification review, the Executive Branch is publicly releasing various documents from this litigation, including legal briefs and additional sections of the 2008 FISC-R opinion, with appropriate redactions to protect national security information. These documents are available at the website of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), www.dni.gov; and ODNI’s public website dedicated to fostering greater public visibility into the intelligence activities of the U.S. Government, IContheRecord.tumblr.com. A summary of the underlying litigation follows.

Today the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) released Implementing a Body-Worn Camera Program: Recommendations and Lessons Learned. The report analyzes some of the costs and benefits of law enforcement using body-worn video technology.

Which of these two photos, A or B, reveals an organizational culture that is controlling? As institutions, large companies, and small firms dedicate tremendous resources to strengthen their innovation potential, many fail to realize that their office design can be a key building block or a barrier for achieving their goals.  The Anne T. and […]

The modern age poses many questions about the nature of privacy and civil liberties. Data flows across borders and through the hands of private companies, governments, and non-state actors. For the U.S. intelligence community, what do civil liberties protections look like in this digital age? These kinds of questions are on top of longstanding ones…

Work from your driveway or your site with this cute little workspace.

We are just beginning to see how changes in the way we work are affecting the designs of where we work

There is a lot of buzz about it, but what you really want is a window.

An old warehouse is transformed into a three-level open office with lots of shared spaces for a tech company in Vancouver.

This office system has been adapted to be flexible, fun and comfortable.

This furniture designer's stealth van conversion has been created as a "test lab" for mobile, "democratic" small space design.

Steven M. Johnson shows how the well-equipped mobile worker got around twenty-five years ago.

Work/life balance is over-rated anyway.

And Steven M. Johnson has the answer to the problem.

And the Seattle housing shortage problem at the same time.

We have been showing these for years, but the artist/inventor beats us to the punch again

The internet company thinks it is better if people work at the office rather than on the internet. Is this a good idea?

Is she trying to "put together a 21st Century technology company using 19th Century workplace mentalities"? Or is this a smart move?

Which really, is how every building and office should be designed.

I used to think that this kind of furniture would become a very big deal. I was wrong.

Looking to tiny houses for design inspiration, these new student housing units have been constructed in a former Rotterdam office.

The wheels on the desk go round and round.

Because standing desks cannot stand alone.

Just throw yourself wherever you want to work; your office is where you are.

This is shipping container architecture that makes sense.

This architect converted a shipping container to accommodate an expanding office.

Belgian architects build a tower in a barn. But my, it uses a lot of lumber.

A look at some recent posts on our sister site that might interest TreeHuggers.

This truly is just what we needed.

Humanity's innate love for nature is integrated into this design for a biologically attuned and meditative workspace in London.

Life can be hard for start-up companies, particularly in the current economic climate. Often the need to keep costs down means that decent office space becomes unaffordable. It can be even harder for a small company to implement a green office policy if

Proof that buildings from the 70s and 80s can be fixed well instead of demolished: Perkins + WIll gets the highest LEED score in America.

Things don't quite work as they are supposed to when people stand up.

This intriguing design brings in more healthy rocking and rolling movement as you sit, work and socialize.
