INDIANAPOLIS, IN, December 19, 2011 (Press-News.org) Employee theft has unfortunately reached an all-time high with over $40 billion lost per year, and Phenix Investigations, a leader in corporate investigative services, has seen a sharp increase in cases involving scrap metal and raw material theft.
To combat employee theft and decrease losses in the retail sector, which average around 1.6% of yearly sales, Phenix Investigations has formed a specialized team of professional investigators with the experience and resources to identify employee theft, organized retail crime and vendor fraud. Additionally, the team has expertise in investigations relating to the theft of scrap metal and raw materials, such as copper and steel.
Phenix Investigations recently investigated an elaborate theft ring at an Illinois industrial plant that reported losses of over $7 million in copper over a three-year period. Phenix Investigations was instrumental in cracking the case and identifying all six individuals involved.
According to statistics, a whopping 33% of business bankruptcies are directly related to employee theft and most employee theft isn't recognized for quite some time, so it's important for businesses to stay vigilant and immediately investigate any signs of theft.

Researchers Find 4 of Every 5 Glasses of Regular Water You Drink Go Down the Toilet
2011-12-19
On top of the Himalayan Mountains, Hunza people enjoys the best glacier water that nature offers. Captain Water researchers discovered that this glacier water is formed of perfectly structured water molecules. This means it can actually be fully absorbed to support the body instead of just going through the system and mainly being flushed out.
"Most people are not aware that up to 80% of tap water and bottled water that they consume actually may not get absorbed, because it isn't structured at the molecular level properly. Our water ionizer technology directly ...
Hedge fund share restrictions favor managers over investors
2011-12-19
Chestnut Hill, MA – Armed with insider knowledge, managers of share-restricted hedge funds sell off their own holdings ahead of their investors in order to avoid low returns produced by an outflow of shareholder dollars, according to a new study by researchers from Boston College and EDHEC Business School in France.
The practice, known as front running, pits the interests of managers against those of investors in hedge funds where shareholder actions are limited by contract and there is scant disclosure of fund details. Managers act in advance on the information they ...

Babies remember even as they seem to forget
2011-12-19
Fifteen years ago, textbooks on human development stated that babies 6 months of age or younger had no sense of "object permanence" – the psychological term that describes an infant's belief that an object still exists even when it is out of sight. That meant that if mom or dad wasn't in the same room with junior, junior didn't have the sense that his parents were still in the world.
These days, psychologists know that isn't true: for young babies, out of sight doesn't automatically mean out of mind. But how much do babies remember about the world around them, and what ...

Facts of "Hot Coffee" Case Show True Role of Personal Injury Litigation
Urban myths often do not correspond to the truth. In fact, they can be downright false -- perpetuating half-truths and outright lies. Such is the case with the infamous McDonald's "hot coffee" case, involving a woman who sought compensation for injuries caused by excessively hot coffee served in a flimsy cup at McDonald's.
After the woman obtained substantial compensation in her personal injury case, critics of America's legal system tried to portray it as an example of an ...
Location, location, location: Economists document key role of spatial component in economic growth
2011-12-19
(Chicago, IL) - Location and other geographical factors play an important role in supporting economic growth and development in emerging markets, a new study from the Consortium on Financial Systems and Poverty has found.
The study, which examines growth in the Thai economy between 1986 and 1996, shows that a high concentration of enterprise in an area predicts high subsequent growth in and around that area. Entrepreneurial activity decreases virtually by the mile the further away one gets from centers of economic concentration.
In addition, other geographic conditions, ...
NIH scientists find a potential new avenue for cancer therapies
2011-12-19
Recent findings in mice suggest that blocking the production of small molecules produced in the body, known as epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), may represent a novel strategy for treating cancer by eliminating the blood vessels that feed cancer tumors. This research is the first to show that EETs work in concert with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a protein known to induce blood vessel growth. Together, EETs and VEGF promote metastasis, or the spread of cancer, by encouraging the growth of blood vessels that supply nutrients to cancer cells.
The research ...
