The Cyber Shot Across the Bow: Data Manipulation and GPS Spoofing
In September 2015, in an appearance before the U.S. House Intelligence Committee, then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper warned that the next “push of the envelope” in cybersecurity might be attacks that change or manipulate electronic information in order to compromise its accuracy or reliability, instead of the more easily detected deletion or disruption of access to information. With data integrity in question, he explained, decision making by senior government officials (both civilian and military), corporate executives, investors or others could be “impaired.” Two years later, we may now be seeing the beginning of such insidious attacks, in the context of GPS spoofing — a technique that sends false signals to systems that use GPS signals for navigation.
On Sept. 1, 2017, the U.S. Government released U.S. Maritime Advisory 2017-006, alerting the shipping industry to multiple instances of GPS interference experienced during the week of June 19, 2017 by more than 20 vessels operating in the northeastern part of the Black Sea. News of this incident had spread earlier, with many ships in waters near the Russian port of Novorossiysk complaining that over the course of several days their GPS systems showed their location to be at Gelendshik Airport, more than 32 kilometers inland.

Risks of “Baseball Arbitration” in Resolving Real Estate Disputes
“Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed. This method has become increasingly popular even beyond the sport of baseball.
