Local kid making a name for himself on the race…
Local kid making a name for himself on the race track

Some race car drivers like to visualize the track before they race.
Others like to clear their head and think about nothing. Some even have a motivational mantra they repeat.
Parker Malone, 14, likes to say a prayer and then belt out "Baby Come Back" in his car, often to the confusion of his fellow racers.
"Some of the drivers are all, `why are you singing in the car? Was that you?"' laughs the Redlands Christian School eighth-grader. "I sing kind of loud."
Parker may not be your typical race car driver, but he's not your typical kid, either.
While many of his friends spend their days playing video games and watching T.V., Parker has been racing eight to 10 hours a day for the past four years and spends most of his time practicing and competing at the Orange Show Speedway.
And it's paid off.
Currently ranked No. 1 in the Outlaw Division, which consists of kids ages 12 to 18, Parker can all but assure himself of a championship if he finishes in the top five at his race on Saturday.
And considering how he has finished first five times and second four times in his last 13 races, and owns a 76-point lead over his next closest competitor, according to the most recent standings posted on the bestinthewestracing.com website, the odds seem to be stacked in his favor.
But driving is not all about points and finishes for Parker. In fact, like most kids who take up a sport or hobby, his love for racing can be traced back to his father, Brian Malone, who also raced.
He recounted his dad's biggest moment as a driver when, in his 16th race of the year, he hit the wall but still finished the race in third place.
"That was cool," said Parker with a smile. " I was like, `oh, I want to do that.' "
Never a natural at physical sports, Parker began racing when he was 10 years old.
He picked up racing remarkably fast, only racing for a few months before competing. Six months later he would win his first race.
"He didn't excel at soccer or baseball or football, but he excelled at racing," said Brian Malone, who is also Parker's coach.
Not that it didn't take some work.
Once he came to his father and said he wanted to race, a lot of practice was in store for him.
"It's (always) a learning experience," Parker said. "You try something different, see if it works and if it doesn't, you try something else. There's definitely a learning curve. When I first started, I was so scared. But once I got the hang of it, it was really fun."
He newfound love of being behind the wheel began to seep into other parts of his life.
Before he began racing, Parker was a shy student who did not excel at school. He was making average grades and just getting by, but racing helped to boost his confidence, according to his dad.
"The thing about the (racing) is that he went from getting C's and D's to getting A's and B's," Brian Malone said.
And that has been a point of emphasis between Parker and his parents.
When Parker has to travel, he takes his homework on the road and does it in the car. Though it makes him a little motion sick, it ties in with Malone stressing the importance of academics.
"Good grades, then you race," Parker said.
His friends have mixed reactions about the racing. Some of them do not take much notice, but others want to drive Parker's car.
"Some didn't even believe me until I've actually brought the cars to school," Parker said.
His car would certainly grab his peers' attention. He drives a red No. 8 Bando that has 30 horsepower and can reach speeds of up to 60 miles per hour.
His first reaction upon getting into the car was elation and a thirst for winning, which took all of six months to quench.
Ask Parker about that first win and a grin spreads across his face as he talks about how "awesome" it was.
"That was the best," said Parker, who had a good feeling heading into the race. "Everyone came over and gave me one big gigantic bear hug."
"I knew it was right for me when I started winning and doing well. Then I was like, `oh yeah, this is a good feeling, I should do this more often.' "
And so he has. The race season runs from May to October, with a few races each month, and Parker drives in all of them all.
"If you really want to get the championship, you do them all," said Parker, who is the only driver in his division to have competed in all 13 races this season. "You can't miss a race."
Reaching the top of the standings has been a dream for Parker, but it has also placed a sizable bulls-eye on his back.
He is being chased by 21 other drivers in the Bandos Division, including No. 48 driver R.J. Stearns, who sits in second place, and No. 37 driver Ryan Cansdale, who is currently fifth in points.
Ryan is a former United States Go-Kart Champion, which gave him a leg up on Parker in the experience department. But Parker's most exciting moment in racing was when he finally took a race from No. 37.
"He'd been beating me all summer," he said.
But in a race back on July 31, Parker finally got his revenge and came in first place to Ryan's second.
In races, things can go wrong and cars can spin out of control. Parker's scariest moment happened when he came loose off a corner, overcorrected, and hit the wall at 50 miles per hour.
But aside from nearly passing out, Parker was not hurt.
He said that his mom sometimes worries about him, but his father is not scared.
"It's pretty safe," Brian Malone said. "I wouldn't let him do it if I didn't feel 100 percent that he's safe."
The worst part for Parker about racing is crashing and being taken out of the race. Still, the positives outweigh the negatives. Ask him what he likes most about racing and his answer comes quickly.
"When you get in the car and you start driving it … you don't really think about anything else," he said. "You just want to focus the car in front of you, do your lines, make sure they're right."
Parker's elite level of racing calls for a lot of practice and he spends hours working at the track.
He usually begins by going around the track five or six times before coming in and making some adjustments with his father.
After that, it's more laps until the two of them figure out what's working. Their adjustments can include everything from tire pressure to springs to gears and anything else under the hood of the car.
It's all necessary for Parker, who explained that a lot of details go into the process of getting the car ready.
"A lot of people say, `oh yeah, I can do that easily, all you do is go round and round, and I can drive a car like that,' " he said. "You would think it's that way, but it's a lot more difficult. You have to figure out everything."
But no matter how difficult the preparation and racing can get, Parker has no intention of stopping anytime soon.
"You want to try and make it a goal in your life," he said.
Though he isn't sure if he wants to race forever, he does have his usual goal for his next race – to win.
And based on his success so far this season, the other kids on the track better watch out for the kid in the red No. 8 Bando singing "Baby Come Back" at the top of his lungs.

Ласло Белені (,  11 березня 1953, Тиргу-Муреш) — румунський футболіст угорського походження, півзахисник. Футболіст року в Румунії (1977, 1983). По завершенні ігрової кар'єри — тренер. Тренер року в Бельгії (2009).

Виступав, зокрема, за «Стяуа», з яким виграв ряд національних трофеїв, а також Кубок європейських чемпіонів та Суперкубок УЄФА. Крім цього грав за національну збірну Румунії, за яку провів понад сто матчів і був учасником чемпіонату Європи 1984 року.

Клубна кар'єра
Народився 11 березня 1953 року в місті Тиргу-Муреш в родині етнічних угорців. Вихованець футбольної школи клубу «Кіміка» (Тирневені). Там же і дебютував на дорослому рівні, провівши два сезони у третьому за рівнем дивізіону, де взяв участь у 38 матчах чемпіонату.

1970 року перейшов у «Тиргу-Муреш», за який відіграв наступні чотирнадцять сезонів своєї ігрової кар'єри. Більшість часу, проведеного у складі команди, був основним гравцем команді, а найвищим результатом стало віце-чемпіонство у сезоні 1974/75, а також звання найкращого гравця Румунії у 1977 та 1983 році.

1984 року став гравцем столичного «Стяуа», у складі якого провів наступні три з половиною роки своєї кар'єри гравця. Граючи у складі «Стяуа» також здебільшого виходив на поле в основному складі команди. За цей час тричі виборював титул чемпіона Румунії та двічі Кубок Румунії, а також ставав володарем Кубка чемпіонів УЄФА та володарем Суперкубка УЄФА у 1986 році. 25 березня 2008 року він був нагороджений президентом Румунії Траяном Бесеску орденом «Meritul Sportiv» II ступеню за його внесок у перемогу в Суперкубку.

З кінця 1987 року недовго пограв у Бельгії за «Расінг Жет», а завершував кар'єру у нижчолігових французьких клубах «Кретей» та «Орлеан».

Виступи за збірну
Він виграв золоту медаль зі студентською футбольною збірною Румунії на чемпіонаті світу в 1974 році, що проходив у Франції.

4 червня 1975 року дебютував в офіційних іграх у складі національної збірної Румунії у відбірковому матчі до Олімпійських ігор 1976 з Данією (4:0). Після цього він грав за неї безперервно протягом тринадцяти років. 11 квітня 1984 року, після товариського матчі з Ізраїлем (0:0) Белені наздогнав Корнела Діну в рейтингу гравців з найбільшою кількістю ігор за збірну Румунії в Історії (залишався у цьому статусі до 2 квітня 1997 року, коли його обійшов Георге Хаджі). 2 вересня 1987 року Белені зіграв свій 100-й матч за збірну у грі проти Польщі (1:3), ставши історичним першим гравцем команди, якому підкорилося це досягнення.

Проте у період виступів Белені за збірну румуни не були серед європейських лідерів, тому гравець зіграв тільки на одному великому турнірі — чемпіонаті Європи 1984 року у Франції. Команда, яку на той час очолював Мірча Луческу, на цьому чемпіонаті здобула лише один бал і приніс його саме гол Белені у першому ж матчі своєї команди на турнірі проти збірної Іспанії (1:1). Два наступних матчі Румунія програла (проти ФРН та Португалії) і закінчила на останньому місці у групі.

Останню гру у складі збірної провів 1 червня 1988 року в товариському матчі проти Нідерландів (0:2). Всього ж за кар'єру зіграв у 108 матчах і забив 35 голів.

Кар'єра тренера
У 1992 році почав тренерську кар'єру і спочатку протягом двох сезонів був помічником Олів'є Рує у французькому «Нансі». Після його від'їзду у 1994 році Белені став першим іноземним головним тренером в історії цього клубу. Він керував командою шість років, а в сезоні 1997/98 він вперше за вісім років вивів клуб до Ліги 1. Проте через два роки команда вилетіла з вищого дивізіону, а Бьолені, який ніколи не працював тренером в Румунії, був призначений головним тренером національної команди своєї країни. Він керував румунською збірною в 13 матчах (8-2-3), але потім несподівано пішов у відставку після перемог над Угорщиною та Литвою у відбірковому раунді до чемпіонату світу 2002 року і був замінений на Георге Хаджі, який тільки що закінчив свою ігрову кар'єру.

Натомість через кілька днів Ласло став головним тренером португальського «Спортінга». У першому сезоні він зумів виграти з клубом усі основні трофеї — чемпіонат, Кубок і Суперкубок Португалії. Він проводив політику залучення молодих і перспективних гравців до першої команди, включаючи Кріштіану Роналду, Рікарду Куарежму та Угу Віану, які дебютували на дорослому рівні за Белені, а згодом стали зірками португальського футболу. Однак був відправлений у відставку ще до закінчення другого сезону 2002/03 після того, як «Спортінг» втратив шанси захистити чемпіонський титул.

2003 року прийняв пропозицію попрацювати у клубі «Ренн», з яким зумів зайняти четверте місце в чемпіонаті 2004/05, кваліфікувавшись до Кубка УЄФА, а також дійшов до півфіналу Кубка Франції. Залишив команду з Ренна 2006 року.

У травні 2006 року Белені підписав дворічний контракт з «Монако», але вже 23 жовтня він був звільнений через невдалі результати, коли його команда займала 19-те місце з 20-ти у Лізі 1.

6 квітня 2007 року став головним тренером еміратської «Аль-Джазіри», з якою того ж року виграв Клубний кубок чемпіонів Перської затоки, але 21 травня 2008 року був звільнений після того як втратив чемпіонський титул в останньому турі чемпіонату.

9 червня 2008 року був запрошений керівництвом клубу «Стандард» (Льєж) очолити його команду, з якою відразу виграв Суперкубок Бельгії, а в наступному сезоні 2008/09 став з командою і чемпіоном країни, вигравши після цього і другий національний суперкубок. Після невтішних результатів у сезоні 2009/10 він 10 лютого 2010 року пішов у відставку. І в подальшому з травня по вересень того ж року недовго попрацював з еміратською «Аль-Вахдою» (Абу-Дабі).

У січні 2011 року він взяв на себе керівництво четвертою в його кар'єрі французькою командою, «Лансом». Його мета полягала в тому, щоб врятувати команду від вильоту з Ліги 1, але Белені це не вдалося і по закінченню сезону він покинув клуб.

У сезоні 2011/12 очолював тренерський штаб грецького ПАОКа. Белені вивів клуб із Салонік спочатку у груповий етап Ліги Європи, а потім і в плей-оф з першого місця. Втім взимку команда через фінансові проблеми змушена була продати лідерів Вієйрінью та Пабло Контрераса, через що клуб погіршив результати і закінчив сезон на 5-му місці, а Ласло 25 травня 2012 року покинув клуб. Натомість фахівець повернувся на Близький Схід, де працював спочатку з катарським «Аль-Хором», а потім саудівським «Аль-Іттіхадом».

16 червня 2017 року Белені був призначений головним тренером бельгійського «Антверпена», з яким у сезоні 2017/18 зайняв 8-ме місце, після чого продовжив свій контракт ще на два роки. Пропрацював з «Антверпеном» до літа 2020 року, зокрема вивівши команду до фіналу Кубка Бельгії 2019/20.

Наприкінці серпня 2020 року Белені прийняв пропозицію очолити тренерський штаб «Гента». Утім робота румунського тренера із цією командою протривала лише 25 днів, за які вона встигла провести лише три матчі. 14 вересня 2020 року керівництво клубу оголосило про звільнення Белені, зазначивши, що «атмосфера навколо команди робить подальшу співпрацю неможливою».

19 жовтня 2020 року був призначений головним тренером грецького «Панатінаїкоса». Незадовго до завершення сезону, 10 травня 2021 року, був звільнений, коли стало зрозуміло, що команда не кваліфікується до єврокубків.

Afghan President Nominates First Female Judge to Supreme Court
KABUL | AFP | JUN 30, 2015
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani today nominated a female judge to sit on the Supreme Court in an unprecedented move that has angered some Islamic conservatives.
Anisa Rasouli, the head of the Afghan Women Judges Association and a former juvenile court judge, was the only female nominated to the nine-member bench after the announcement was delayed due to opposition by a group of Islamic conservatives earlier this month.
"I'm proud to announce that for the very first time I have nominated a woman to the Supreme Court," Ghani told a gathering of diplomats and women's rights activists.
"Appointing a woman to the Supreme Court does not alter the judicial system. We do have full support of the Ulema (Islamic scholars) for it," he added.
The nomination, which requires approval by parliament, is part of efforts by Ghani's unity government to promote more women to high-profile positions since he and his Chief Executive Officer Abdullah Abdullah assumed office last September.
Under the constitution, Supreme Court judges have fixed ten-year terms. In April lawmakers approved Ghani's nominees for a number of cabinet positions, including four women.
The former academic and World Bank economist has already appointed two female governors for the provinces of Ghor and Daikundi, moves hailed by rights campaigners.
He also said today he wanted all ministries to appoint female deputy ministers.
But the moves have angered some influential Islamic scholars in the conservative country.
Earlier in June a group of clerics gathered in Kabul to protest at the possible appointment of a female judge to the Supreme Court.
Under the 1996-2001 fundamentalist Taliban regime, women were banned from leaving their homes without a male chaperone and often denied basic rights such as an education.
Nearly 14 years after the Taliban were toppled by a US-led invasion, Afghan women have made giant strides - with female lawmakers and security personnel now commonplace.
President Ghani's wife Rula stepped into the limelight during the presidential election last year and has been actively campaigning for women's rights since then.
But activists say there is a long way to go.
In March an Afghan woman was lynched by a mob after being falsely accused of burning a Koran, triggering protests around the country and drawing global attention.

Business Development Archives - Powerful Thinking. Real Solutions.
This is an expert from an article I read on 'IT Marketing World' By Freelance writer, Dave Landry. 8 Emerging Tech Trends You Can't Ignore.
When people ask what I do for a living they are never surprised when I say that I am in Marketing. Bubbly, confident, outspoken, creative… it all seems to fit the stereotype. But when I continue to tell them that I work for an IT company, immediately the connection is lost. It's a common misconception, however, incorrect.
Marketing has one main goal: to grow business! However what people don't think about is that marketing uses lots of IT, including enterprise systems such as customer relationship management (CRM) to achieve this.

No. 2 Baylor wins 20th straight at home
Baylor pours it on against Iowa State (1:07)
Seth Russell throws for two touchdowns and runs for another score in Baylor's 45-27 win over Iowa State. (1:07)
ESPN.com news services
WACO, Texas -- Second-ranked Baylor stretched its FBS-best home winning streak to 20 games without being the point-a-minute Bears everyone has been used to seeing.
Their big concern now is the health of quarterback Seth Russell, who sustained a fracture in one of the bones in his neck late in the Bears' 45-27 victory over Iowa State on Saturday.
"He's a tough guy. It's hard to see tough guys hurt," coach Art Briles said. "That's probably the main concern right now, just for him, from an emotional standpoint and physical next."
Baylor overcomes elements, Iowa State to handle Cyclones 45-27
Russell, the FBS leader with 29 touchdown passes, will see a specialist Monday. after postgame X-rays and a CT scan revealed the fracture. The timetable for his return is unknown.
The Bears called timeout after Russell's 4-yard run on a third-and-5 with 5:36 left in the game. While not apparent publicly that Russell was hurt, Briles said it was obvious on the sideline then that the junior quarterback was unable to continue in the game.
"I'm concerned because that's my No. 1 quarterback," Shock Linwood said, even before Baylor announced the X-rays results nearly three hours after the game.
Briles told ESPN's Brett McMurphy that quarterback Russell would "probably be out awhile" but won't "find out for certain until Monday."
Corey Coleman had two more touchdown catches and Linwood had 171 yards rushing on a dreary and rainy day along the Brazos River. Baylor was held under 60 points for the first time in six games, but never trailed.
The only other NCAA team with five consecutive 60-point games was Oklahoma in 2008. The Bears (7-0, 4-0, Big 12) had 485 total yards, leaving them well below their national-leading averages of 64 points and 720 total yards a game.
"It's hard to stay at a level that we've been at, energy-wise, emotionally and then production-wise," Briles said. "It's been insane."
Baylor led 35-0 by the middle of the second quarter before going more than 35 minutes -- the equivalent of more than a full half -- without a single point.
"A tough win, but I think it was a win we needed," Briles said. "You hate to say that, you'd like for everything to be like it's been. It's not going to be that way, it's not reality. I thought our guys did a great job of just kind of sustaining, and maintaining, and not panicking and just taking care of business."
Coleman had a 36-yard score on Baylor's opening drive, then had a downfield block that helped Russell break free on a 37-yard TD run for a quick 14-0 lead. Coleman caught a 12-yarder from Jarrett Stidham in the closing minutes, his FBS-best 18th TD catch this season and the 31st of his career to break Kendall Wright's school record.
Russell was 16 of 37 for 197 yards and two touchdowns.
"It was kind of tough catching the ball," Coleman said. "It's kind of hard to play when the ball's waterlogged and (for Russell) to try to throw the ball like a shotput. ... It was an ugly win, but we got it."
Iowa State (2-5, 1-3), which has lost its last 14 games against ranked teams, was within 35-20 on Joel Lanning's 4-yard TD pass to Jauan Wesley with 7:47 left.
"We had an opportunity to get an onside kick and pull this game within seven and put ourselves in a position to compete to win," coach Paul Rhoads said. "You do that on the road in conditions like this against the second-ranked team in the country, you're pleased with the energy and effort they gave."
Mike Warren had his fourth 100-yard rushing game for Iowa State, with 145 yards on 28 carries. Joshua Thomas, another freshman, ran 13 times for 77 yards and a score.
When Russell threw a 6-yard TD pass to Linwood to make it 28-0 early in the second quarter, Baylor's junior quarterback had 29 passing touchdowns and six rushing TDs. That is exactly what Bryce Petty had in his 12 games last season for the Bears before being drafted by the New York Jets.
Baylor hasn't lost a home game in more than three years, since a 49-21 loss to TCU on Oct. 12, 2012.
That home winning streak includes all 10 games since moving into their campus stadium last season along the Brazos River, swollen so much Saturday after nearly 14 inches of rain in the area over a two-day period that officials had to prohibit sailgating -- Baylor's version of tailgating on boats.
With an open date next weekend, Baylor played its last game before the initial College Football Playoff rankings of the season come out Nov. 3. The Bears, the two-time defending Big 12 champs and first team left out of the first CFP last season, play two nights later at Kansas state.
"Yeah, I'm curious," Briles admitted about the first CFP rankings. "I'm not sure how much my curiosity is going to change anything. I think it's been proven it's got zero effect."

Sacred Earth Trust (SET) is an NGO situated in Bihar India. We have been working on solutions for reducing plastic pollution and regeneration through introducing practical solutions and eco-education in Bodhgaya since 2008/09.
Programs SET have run to date are; teacher training, permaculture courses, women's empowerment sewing projects, tree planting, school workshops. The proposed programs will consist of creative learning workshops in the Matri Bhumi eco learning centre and online webcast trainings, to and from our proposed Solar Powered IT Centre on site (upper hall).
Between 2014- 2018 SET had been working on the design and construction of the Eco learning and plastic upcycling centre.
The upper hall will house the solar powered IT centre – and batteries will be stored underneath the stairs. An online portal for local community members and groups to participate and have access to workshops, learning opportunities on educational and wider topics on environmental solution. This would include dialogues with specialist from all around the world. The webcasts would also provide access for children youths from other parts of the world to engage with the local community.
The facilities will house a cinema and multi-media space. Media is an important modern age learning tool. The upper hall can comfortably accommodate 60- 80 people. The lower hall has the capacity for 50+ seated on chairs.
After the clean-up canal of the plastics and other dumped waste, we will install a natural filtration system with the plantation of reed beds and other plant species found in the local area, this will regenerate the eco system and local biodiversity.
This would not only assist in the cleaning of the polluted water and show a living example of how it can be done locally and how it could be upscaled. Schools and students from colleges can use these as outdoor science labs.
3. NGO training to use the up-cycling of plastic waste into compressed plastic blocks for construction purposes.
Compressed Plastic block: 2.5kg of plastic each.
1 toilet block – 90 blocks= 225kg of waste plastic removed from pollution of land and waterways.
After this we would like to start a schedule of online meetings and workshops for public engagement. There is a large international community that gathers ever year. It would be beneficial for the locals and tourists to participate and benefit from events taking place at the centre.
On-site shop selling locally produced handcrafts, eco savvy goods and organic café/ tea shop.
Bio-remediation garden…dry toilets, filtration systems, exhibitions.
We appreciate your contribution and support towards the success of these projects.
Thanks to the partnership and support of United Nations Development Program UNDP, Global Environment Facility GEF, SGP. CEE, MOEFC.

Life on Earth is undergoing its sixth ever mass extinction, one that is entirely driven by humans. Amongst the multitude of "global change" factors causing species' extinctions, climate change and the loss and degradation of natural habitats are major causes. This is especially the case for species in tropical mountain ranges, where most of Earth's terrestrial biodiversity is concentrated, and where species tend to be thermally sensitive. We study how forest degradation combines with climate change to impact Himalayan biodiversity at multiple levels, from geographic range shifts to behaviour and demography. Our main ongoing work is in the eastern Himalayas of Arunachal Pradesh, where we have been monitoring bird populations in primary and logged forest for a decade using mist netting and bird ringing. We combine this with behavioural observations to understand how climate change and forest loss are altering the composition of mixed-species bird flocks across the elevational gradient. In addition to the Arunachal long-term project, we work with various institutions to study the impacts of global change drivers on Himalayan birds in Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and Sikkim. Almost all our work happens in the field.
Apart from the research that we do, I also work with the Bugun community of Singchung village in Arunachal Pradesh and the Arunachal Pradesh Forest Department on a range of conservation issues. These initiatives include wildlife and nature education for schoolchildren from Arunachali tribal communities and the management of the Singchung Bugun Village Community Reserve, established to protect the critically endangered Bugun Liocichla.
Before joining IISc, I was a postdoctoral fellow with David Wilcove at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University. I did my PhD on the demographic impacts of selective logging on birds in Arunachal Pradesh with Suhel Quader at the National Centre for Biological Sciences. My MSc was in Wildlife Biology and Conservation from the Wildlife Conservation Society-National Centre for Biological Sciences. My undergraduate studies were in medicine at Government Medical College, Mysore.

Theft of commercially valuable information costs the world's largest companies over £22bn a year, and small firms are just as vulnerable. How can you mitigate the risks to your company?
Corporate espionage costs the world's 1,000 largest companies in excess of $45bn (£22.8bn) every year, according to research from consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers.
However, smaller companies are also at risk, warned Toralv Dirro, a security strategist with McAfee. "What you need to know is that this is happening more than ever before, and on a bigger scale than ever before," he said. "Any business that derives competitive advantage from information should be concerned about this issue."
Dirro argued that corporate espionage has increased rapidly in the last decade, as more information is put onto corporate networks — and potentially within the reach of hackers. PricewaterhouseCoopers, for example, reported that losses from corporate espionage doubled between 1990 and 2000.
Corporate espionage can be defined as the theft of commercially valuable information. This may be the secret formulation of a new product but it could equally be the names and salaries of senior executives, or simply the date of your next marketing initiative.
It's difficult to know exactly how common corporate espionage is because most victims never report the attack to the police, fearful of the consequences of going public, said Paul King, a senior security adviser with Cisco. Moreover, many companies don't necessarily realise that they've been attacked if a hacker is sufficiently skilled. Cisco's security experts constantly scan the internet for reports of attacks on other organisations and assess the risk of similar attacks on their own company. "I think the best we can do is monitor our systems carefully and, if we hear of an attack on another organisation, ensure that it couldn't affect us," said King.
The question isn't whether you know you're vulnerable to corporate espionage, it's knowing how vulnerable you could be, said King. "I never ask why something would happen to us; I ask why it wouldn't," he said. "So, if your chief executive says he's not a victim of this stuff, how confident is he? And the only way to be really confident is to be looking hard for it."
The first step in protecting yourself from corporate espionage is to close the most obvious loopholes — those which can be exploited by hackers without even breaking the law. "We're seeing massive growth in Google hacking," said Rhodri Davies, a technical architect with security specialist Vistorm. "This is the process of using really smart Google searches to find information left open on web servers. It's unsportsmanlike, but definitely not illegal."
With Google hacking, hackers can routinely find information on projects and personnel and the file names of confidential documents, even if they cannot access the documents themselves. "You can easily automate searches, so that, if a document is online even briefly, you'll be emailed that search result," said Davies. The danger is that this information will then be used as the basis of an attack, enabling a hacker to pretend to be inside the company or to launch a social-engineering attack.
Security companies have seen a dramatic increase in "spear phishing", a highly targeted phishing attack where a single executive may receive an email that appears to be from an authorised partner or supplier, relating to a project that isn't widely known outside the company. "The usual trick with this sort of email is to encourage the user to open a file which will launch a Trojan, potentially giving someone access to the whole network," said Dirro. "We have been seeing an awful lot of these [attacks] in the last year or so."
...penetration testing (including looking for search vulnerabilities) to protect against this kind of attack. However, the best advice for protecting against hackers attempting corporate espionage is: know your data.
Audit your corporate data and identify what information is potentially sensitive and therefore vulnerable to attack, advised Dirro. Next, separate this information into dedicated areas of the network, and consider separating highly sensitive information entirely. "If you have a highly confidential R&D project, I would consider putting it on its own network, with no external links whatsoever," said Dirro. "Regardless, you should have a clear idea of your data structure, so you know who is accessing sensitive data, and what they're able to do with it."
There isn't a single technical solution to corporate espionage, added Cisco's King. "If there was, we'd be selling it." However, companies can take steps to minimise the threat posed. King's key advice is not to rely on reactive security systems which will warn you only when something specific has happened. Although a good intrusion-detection system and firewall are essential, they aren't enough. "If you're waiting for an alarm to go off, that's not good enough, and it won't alert you to most corporate espionage," he said.
For example, you may want to investigate the latest data-log protection systems. These new software tools can "mark" confidential data with a virtual watermark, which prevents it from being copied to a mobile device or distributed via email. "The technology is relatively new and can be quite difficult to get up and running, but, once you have done the upfront work, [it's] highly effective," Dirro said.
In addition, King recommended routinely checking through IDS log files and access logs looking for attacks or patterns of unusual activity. "We have a product that monitors all our log files from routers and firewalls and looks for anomalous behaviour," says King. "That is different to only reacting to something you know has happened."
It's also important to pay attention to less sophisticated forms of information theft. "Educate people on risks that may seem small, like using a laptop on a plane," advised King. Cisco executives are routinely provided with plastic privacy shields that prevent so-called "shoulder surfing", and the IT department provides training videos that help people be more aware of the risks of discussing confidential projects in public places.
"Sometimes you can be at risk in the most public places," said King. "For example, someone at a trade show might ask you a question which is designed to help them later to do some kind of social engineering." Since producing videos on this topic for the corporate intranet, King's team has received many more calls from employees who say they have received suspicious telephone enquiries.
The vast majority of corporate espionage attacks have the involvement of someone inside the company, argued Mark Schettenhelm, a security consultant with Compuware, and a certified information privacy professional (CIPP). "We've done such a good job of blocking hackers and spam from outside that it's easy to forget the threat from people inside the company who have all the authority and access."
...memory sticks and mobile devices, but with appropriate encryption and other security measures.
The best approach is to accept that providing employees with access to sensitive information will always carry some risk, but to mitigate that risk as far as possible, said Schettenhelm. Compuware provides a range of tools designed for "application auditing", which basically means monitoring who uses software and what they do with it. One of the biggest challenges for any company that has been hacked is knowing the extent of the breach and application auditing can also help in this respect, showing which screens and fields of data were viewed by an individual user.
"It means, if there is a breach, you can easily see where it happened, who did it and what was breached," says Schettenhelm. "It also protects employees from false accusations because it shows where there was no inappropriate action."
Application auditing can be combined with data-mining tools to reveal patterns of usage and alert managers to anomalous activities. For example, you could monitor the activity level in a customer-service centre to show that a typical agent is accessing 100 records per day, while one employee is regularly accessing 500 records. "That type of spike might indicate a problem, and further investigation may show which sort of records he is accessing and whether it tallies with the number of inbound calls they were handling," said Schettenhelm. "You can then ask: why did you need that screen for that call?"
This type of technology works best when sensitive data is held on separate screens, Schettenhelm added, so that you can track exactly who is accessing information such as credit-card details or medical records. It will also help in preventing future problems, because auditing will show which screens really are needed to do a specific job — meaning that access to any information that isn't strictly needed can be restricted.
Of course, an organisation can't simply block access to all confidential data — developing new products is difficult if the engineers can't access the plans, after all. But analysing network traffic can show who is downloading information and at what times. "A common trigger which might indicate a problem or a hacker is someone accessing files outside of office hours, when they can't be seen by colleagues," said Schettenhelm.
In 2005, HP allegedly paid an ex-Dell executive to collect "competitive intelligence" about its rival's business activities. The allegations were contained in a countersuit filed by former employees of HP who were accused of starting a rival business while still employed by the firm. Another lawsuit filed by one of Dell's Japanese rivals accused the company of running a "competitive intelligence investigation".
Five years earlier, in 2000, Microsoft fell victim to what the company called "a deplorable act of industrial espionage" when hackers broke into the company's system and access Windows and Office source code. Hackers had access to the source code for up to three months.
In the pharmaceutical sector, Proctor & Gamble and Unilever became involved in a dispute when Fortune magazine reported that Proctor & Gamble had been involved in corporate espionage against its archrival. Agents appointed by Proctor & Gamble were alleged to have misrepresented themselves as market researchers and used various other methods to collect information about their rival.
In 2006, two hackers were extradited from the UK to Israel when it was alleged that they had developed and sold spyware which was used by companies to spy on rivals in their native Israel. Three private investigation companies in Israel were alleged to have sent emails with Trojan packages designed to evade detection by security tools.
A UK hi-tech firm became a potential victim of corporate espionage when computer hardware was stolen from its offices in Lancashire. Thieves who stole a number of laptops from the fuel management firm in March also stole server hard drives, causing fears that the information could be sold to commercial rivals.

Metro Vancouver drivers getting hit with 1.5 cents a litre gas-tax hike
Jennifer Saltman
Drivers in Metro Vancouver, where gas prices are among the highest in North America, will be hit with a 1½-cents-a-litre fuel tax hike by next spring to help pay for regional transit improvements.
News of the increase, which will take the tax from 17 cents to 18.5 cents a litre, came Thursday during a joint meeting of TransLink's Mayors' Council and its board of directors, where the two bodies approved the ambitious $7.3-billion Phase 2 of TransLink's 10-year transportation vision. It includes projects such as the Broadway subway, the first stage of at-grade light rail in Surrey, and improvements to bus service and SkyTrain.
Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, who chairs the Mayors' Council, called the province's tax decision a surprise, and "a last-minute, but noteworthy" revision to TransLink's financial plan.
The increase is expected to cost the average household $22 a year and provide TransLink with $30 million to $33 million in revenue annually.
The federal government will pay up to 40 per cent of the construction costs for the major projects and the province earlier had agreed to pay for 40 per cent of all projects.
TransLink spent months negotiating with the province to find ways to cover a $70-million-a-year gap in paying for the transportation plan, and in March announced that they had agreed upon a two-per-cent transit fare hike, three-per-cent parking tax increase, a property tax increase of $5.50 for an average household, and a development cost charge.
Those added up to $40 million. At the time, Municipal Affairs Minister Selina Robinson was vague about how the remaining $30 million would be funded, saying only that the province was "committed to reducing TransLink's fiscal pressures."
Although there was talk since late last week that the gas tax would be the fix, it wasn't until Wednesday that the mayors and board received confirmation, in the form of a letter from Robinson, that the province would pass enabling legislation next year.
"It came as a real surprise that that was the option that was going to be chosen," said Corrigan. "This was not our first choice."
For some of the region's mayors, it was an unpleasant surprise that forced them to vote against a plan that they otherwise supported.
Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese proposed a motion, which was defeated, to send the plan back to consider other options. In the end, he voted against Phase 2.
"The 1.5-cents-per-litre gas tax increase was what I was really opposed to," he said. "I believe that gas taxes are already way too high, gas prices are at a record high. It's impacted our businesses and our residents, and we need to look for other ways."
Maple Ridge Mayor Nicole Read said the region has a real issue when it comes to transit service equity — many people live in areas that are underserved by transit and rely on their vehicles, and they will feel the tax increase most.
"It is a good plan, however I cannot support this funding source, so I'm left with a really difficult choice," she said.
Read and Froese were among five Mayors' Council members who voted against the plan. The others were Anmore Mayor John McEwen, Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay and the Tsawwassen First Nation's chief, Bryce Williams.
Other council members said the tax was not the option they preferred, but the didn't see why it should stand in the way of moving the plan ahead.
Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said the mayors worked together to come up with a plan that "enormously changes the future of the region" and there are many reasons to support it.
"What's missing still is a governance tweak and a regional source of funding that is sustainable and is determined by the region, rather than a letter the night before from the minister responsible for regional transportation," he said.
Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner said she thought it was time to move the plan forward.
"Funding in the longer term is a conversation not yet concluded," she said, adding she was not happy with the tax hike. "But I'm certainly prepared to support (Phase 2) on the basis of we can have this conversation at the next investment plan stage and in the months ahead," she said.
Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson said the funding approach is balanced, with money coming from a variety of areas. "Notwithstanding the concern over additional gas tax, it's time to move forward. It's time to approve this plan."
Jordan Bateman, spokesman for the Independent Contractors and Businesses Association, said adding to the gas tax flies in the face of politicians' talk about making life more affordable for British Columbians, and the lack of consultation was troubling.
A better option, he suggested, is for TransLink and the region's municipalities to find efficiencies in their organizations or come up with other ways to pay for the funding gap if transit is a high priority.
"This'll add costs to everyone," Bateman said.
B.C. Liberal leader Andrew Wilkinson called the tax hike "a slap in the face."
"While British Columbians are struggling to get ahead, John Horgan hiked another tax without even having the courtesy to tell British Columbians about it," he said in a statement.

Ron DeSantis says he's 'offended' that a police officer 'could potentially lose their job' over COVID-19 vaccine mandates

Gov. Ron DeSantis has pledged to fight the Biden administration over federal vaccine mandates.
"I am offended that a police officer could potentially lose their job," he said on Thursday.
DeSantis has opposed broad vaccine requirements and mask mandates in K-12 public schools.
Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, a vocal opponent of COVID-19 vaccine mandates, on Thursday said that the state will fight the federal government in court over legislation regarding such requirements.
DeSantis, a potential 2024 presidential candidate, has spoken out forcefully against vaccination rules placed on employers, and last month said that President Joe Biden's vaccine mandate was a violation of Florida law.
"Let's not have Biden come in and effectively take away – threaten to take away – the jobs of people who have been working hard throughout this entire pandemic," DeSantis said during a news conference this week. "I am offended that a police officer could potentially lose their job."
"I just think it's fundamentally wrong to be taking people's jobs away, particularly given the situations that we see ourselves facing with the economy," he added.
The rule from the federal government mandates that employers with over 100 workers must require vaccination or conduct weekly testing, which would affect about 80 million Americans. The broader mandate would also affect about 17 million healthcare workers who are employed by hospitals that accept Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, along with federal employees and contractors.
Republicans last month quickly pounced on Biden's move.
Even Gov. Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas, who has traveled throughout his conservative in an effort to boost the vaccine, said that Biden's decision to enact a federal mandate was not helpful to increasing inoculation levels among the public.
"I support businesses being able to require vaccination, but it's their own independent choice for their workplace," he said last month. "But to have the federal mandate will be counterproductive. It's going to increase resistance. We're going to grow our vaccinations whether you have this or not."
DeSantis, who has rejected the use of vaccine passports and waged battles with school districts that have sought to implement mask mandates, recently appointed Dr. Joseph Ladapo to become the state's new surgeon general.
Ladapo, who opposes mask mandates and feels that COVID-19 vaccines are "nothing special," last year boosted the use of the drug hydroxychloroquine to fight the coronavirus. The World Health Organization earlier this year said that hydroxychloroquine is not an effective form of treatment for COVID-19.
Recently, the Florida Department of Health leveled a $3.57 million fine against Leon County, which encompasses the state capital of Tallahassee, after the jurisdiction mandated that hundreds of workers receive the vaccine.
The county terminated the employment of 14 workers who chose not to receive the vaccine, according to The Tallahassee Democrat, and local officials are prepared to defend the requirement in court.
A recent study conducted by the French government-backed scientific organization Epi-Phare, which looked at nearly 23 million individuals, found that vaccines reduced the risk of contracting a severe case of COVID-19 by at least 90% among individuals 50 years old or older.
As Insider's Eliza Relman previously reported, medical professionals as well as public health and legal experts, have praised vaccine and testing mandates as effective and constitutional tools to promote public health — especially as the unvaccinated pose a threat to others' health and safety.
DeSantis said that the state's lawsuits against the federal mandates will be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.
Florida, which this past summer experienced a surge in new COVID-19 infections fueled by the highly infectious Delta variant, has seen over 57,000 of its residents succumb to the virus since the beginning of the pandemic, according to the latest data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
