Car: S14 240sx
Engine: Any "LS", Single Turbo
Transmission: 4l80e "notoriously robust"
The build emphasis is a few specific characteristics
Affordable Typical 5.3 LSx specimens from 2002-2004 are inexpensive, and avail from a variety of local yards in Florida. And they deliver.
Reliable OEM Engine and Transmission specimens from quality wrecked vehicles that already have mileage, potentially last hundred thousand(s) of miles more.
Easy engine swap I have taken steps to ensure the engine/transmission can be removed and replaced easily if necessary (one day drivetrain swap).
Economy An important feature for a daily driver, there will be a section how to maximize fuel economy from a vehicle.
Power How much power will a used, junkyard "LS" style engine command reliably? My research shows that 500-700rwhp dynojet horsepower is feasible, reliable.
The purpose for these type of thread is to de-mystify this swap so that others can prepare properly for their own builds in a "cookie cutter" fashion.
I provide information/pictures which might assist to this end.
Another purpose is to keep track of all work done, maintenance, etc...
Please see a recent vehicle thread (finished) for more example of how to keep track of maintenance, repair, &c :
The 240sx is incredibly adaptable.
I feel almost as if Nissan intended this car to have a V8, but knew it couldn't be offered at 2800lbs with a V8 so they put a 4-cylinder instead and let us figure it out.
Another way to see this is, the modern LS V8 drivetrain weight is similar (or even less) than sr20det, and more balanced for the car.
Finding an engine
random shops There are so many available, and some of them are (nearly) free, I've seen them packed into the corners of shops apparently for years, the owners forget about them, taking up space. The minute you say "five point three" some are immediately happy to get rid of them. Notice I said them. You can sometimes stumble upon two or three of good engines in a sort of buy one get one free deal I've noticed. The story is usually somebody who intended to put it into something but never finished through with that idea.
So these are likely good engines that somebody intended to use.
junkyards is/are an option for "delivery" sight unseen, for me it means local with a warranty and in my experience the best deal if you can't find a free one yet.
A local junkyard delivered an incredible looking engine.
This engine was perfect, but I guess because it was the 'first delivery' I kept looking for a 'better' engine. I drove to the junkyard to pick one out.
I compression tested around 11 engines total. Being picky about initial condition seems important, just like for JDM engines, just remember they are all used.
A sludge free engine from a well maintained Escalade is ideal for a 5.3L in my opinion at low cost.
This is another way to get a free or good engine, because If the seller lies to you about the condition (in my case they said the headgasket was fine after I asked specifically to check) you can (usually) keep the engine free. I've used Ebay for 15+ years 100k sales/1000feedbacks and there is no risk to the buyer if you ask the necessary questions first.
I still have this guy, it needs a headgasket, the compression was low on two adjacent cylinders. And it was pretty rusty so I will probably part it out.
For swaps, remember what it is you are getting yourself into before even buying 1 part. Budget around 20k for a reliable LS/turbo/4l80e swap with air conditioning. You will need high quality parts that last a long time, and have been 'racing' tested. For example Sikky uses all their swap kits in their race cars, and thrash them around I am sure. Oil pan and engine mount design is critical to long life.
make a list of everything, then buy everything at once and do the swap immediately, get it done. Once it drives you can take the time to finish, drive it, work on it, etc... Its always more fun to add 3hp/day to the car rather than wait until everything is in place and its ready to make some peak number which is always disappointing because it takes months if not years to truly fine tune every aspect of a performance car you put together from scratch that nobody else has any experience with, not just in the computer but also the car itself as a total machine working together.
Here are some of my earliest estimates when I was planning which way to go, N/A, turbo, 6-speed or auto, etc...
Use your imagination and over estimate the cost of everything.
I did compare and contrast 5.7L/6-speed with the 5.3/4l80e/turbo swap,
The 6-speed, 5.7L aluminum engine drivetrain costs more, handles less power, and is more expensive to replace is there is ever a problem.
Its also 'stuck' under 500hp naturally aspirated for an economical street setup.
I decided that I would rather have the cheaper engine (4.8/5.3), cheaper transmission(4l80e), and an extra couple hundred HP instead.
As I could never afford to replace a six speed transmission (they are SO EXPENSIVE) or an aluminum 5.7L (those are NOT free)
and I am really rough on equipment, I am well known for finding every little flaw and bug. I like to test everything at every conceivable possibility.
Then, when in progress, I tried to hit every single aspect of a swap, including turbo/wiring/tuning/economy/etc...
transmission logic / wiring
Compressor math is necessary to determine the effectiveness of the turbo you choose. Will it be for drag, road race, or street/daily? Or for a boat.
I'll go through how to select a turbo when I can. To select one for this app was easy enough: Choose the smallest turbo that supports the flow rate desired.
For example I wanted 80lb/min or roughly 800hp capable. This is the smallest turbo from an OEM manufacturer (BW) that supports that much airflow.
It also has 'room to grow', upgrades are easy without changing much. But I can't see needing more than 600 to the wheels in a car like this.
I think its a perfect match, and 20k miles later I still do. In 2019-2020 a dyno will show what I am feeling.
How hot does the air come out of the compressor? Even efficient boost will generate 250*F or more at street boost levels.
Intercooling is just one of many tools we have at our disposal.
Will show how I control exhaust gas temperature, and radiated (engine bay) temperature, how to prevent heat soak, and allow an engine to perform at max output without getting anything too hot and melting in the hottest parts of the mid-day. And still warming up the oil quickly for daily driving routines which is critical for long life.

In a normal telnet session to an Athena dialup machine, the users's password is sent across the network in clear text, exposing it to eavesdropping. The dialup machine uses this password to obtain Kerberos tickets to authenticate to other servers, so that the user can use AFS, POP mail, Zephyr, etc.
This scenario will still be open to users of Athena dialup. As of 1994, We have no intention of taking it away or changing the default behavior of telnet. We may want to revisit this in a few years.
(Encryption of the connection is optional.)
In a Kerberos4-authenticated telnet session, the client uses the password to obtain Kerberos tickets locally. These tickets are used to authenticate to the dialup server, which lets the user login. Unfortunately, there are no tickets on the dialup server to authenticate to AFS, so the user's home directory is inaccessible.
If we were using Kerberos v5, the user's tickets could be forwarded easily and safely to the dialup server. Unfortunately, we don't yet support v5. And even if we did, there is no Mac or DOS v5 client available yet.
With Kerberos v4, we can use rkinit to safely obtain remote tickets prior to login. If we have working rkinit clients on all platforms or rkinit is somehow bundled with the non-Unix telnet clients, then all that's left is a small :-) matter of education on how to use it.
Once Kerberized telnet has established an encrypted connection, the user's password may be sent safely from client to server, so that the dialup server can establish authentication. The issue we need to examine is how and when to do this. There are several post-login authentication options.
The DCNS Product Planning Team (PPT) has chosen the following strategy:

MAD Magazine's Take On Agent Double O-Bama
It's funny to see this after Zero's usual bull**it news conference this afternoon where he tried to minimize the damage of the spying scandal! LOL
Talk Wisdom's goal is to defend the tenets and values of Biblical Christian faith. We defend our Constitutional Republic and Charters of Freedom, especially when speaking out against destructive social and political issues. As followers of our Savior and Lord, we should boldly stand up for Jesus Christ in our present circumstances. He is our Savior, Lord, and King, and His love needs to be shed abroad in our hearts and in our world - now.
It is in the way of truth that real peace is found. If we quit the faith or leave the path of righteousness under the notion of promoting peace, we shall be greatly mistaken.
"No matter what happens though, my trust is in God, He will provide, and while there may be much to fear in this world, there is nothing to fear in eternity." - Matt Wiser
Only the lifting of the soul by the Spirit of God can overcome the downward pulling of the earth and darkness. - Stevex09
The cause we are engaged in is so just and righteous that we must try to rise superior to every obstacle in its support.--George Washington 1775
"In this book, I want to help you find the truth about what is going
on. I want to show you that while our age is certainly fractionated," it need not be scary - not for Christians who trust the Lord and know how to read the signs and understand coming events. [Y]ou will recognize the clues that God has given us to find peace in "our terrifying age." [B]ut mostly, I hope this book will help to "Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" (John 14:27)."
Proverbs 2:2-5: "Make your ear attentive to wisdom, incline your heart to understanding; for if you cry for discernment, lift your voice for understanding; if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; then you will discern the fear of the LORD, and discover the knowledge of God" (NASB).

Let me paint a scene for you. It's September 2009 and the Ignatian family has gathered from all over Syria at Al-ard, an agricultural project and retreat centre near Homs, where Fr Frans van der Lugt has served for years. We have gathered to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Dutch priest's entry into religious life. I have been staying at Al-ard a couple of weeks before I join the Jesuit novitiate in Cairo.
Fr Nawras Sammour SJ, a companion and co-worker of Fr Frans, prepares to make his speech. Everyone is waiting to hear a Jesuit companion talk about his friend and master. I have been yearning for a moment like this. I am moved by the amity among the Jesuits and know I will be one of them soon.
Fr Nawras starts his tribute to Fr Frans this way: "Frans, do you know that you are an annoying person?" And silence descends on the participants…
What Fr Nawras was trying to say, and what we shared together in community just a few days ago, is that Frans's most famous slogan – "Go forth" – is an annoying call and even a pushy one. It is a call to change and put more effort into our life and our mission with Christ in his Kingdom. I want to share with you who this annoying person, whom we still miss as we witness the desperate conflict in Syria, really was. I want to share where he is leading us by his bright life as we mark the first anniversary of his assassination in Homs.
His death is a tragedy that moves us all to pose these questions: what should we do now? Where does God want us to serve? How can we continue what Frans has already begun? How can his brilliant example lead us to pass from the death of Syria to its resurrection?
Let me offer some reasons why Frans's life was annoying. Patient hope One of our weaknesses is that we get tired of the situation we live in here in Syria. We have almost submitted ourselves to our miserable fate. After four years of the conflict, we see that it has gone on too long to survive. But Frans, who spent two years under siege in Homs, didn't know how to die. He knew not only how to survive, but also how to give hope to people around him. Maybe we need to be more patient, to reflect on our situation and to find the key to open the door that will lead us to our freedom.
A passionate heart This is how Frans fully lived his Ignatian spirituality, by living the Magis, the Jesuit aspiration to do more for Christ and therefore for others. We were always amazed by his passionate heart, which embraced all of creation. This heart found a place for peace wherever he stayed, even under siege in Homs. What could we say about a man who took care of three turtles in the Jesuit garden, where he created what he called an "island of peace"? Maybe our hearts get turned to stone and we forget how to be compassionate, even with ourselves. We need to make our hearts tender as a first step towards peace.
Syrian blood Frans always claimed that he was more Syrian than Dutch, and with this he never exaggerated. He embraced Syrian culture, and there wasn't a spot in Syria he hadn't visited or couldn't talk about.
What is still annoying is that we Syrians are often missing this patriotic feeling towards our homeland. It has been so easy for most of us to find our way (legally or illegally) out of Syria. While most refugees risk their lives by taking rafts or small boats to cross the Mediterranean and reach the shores of Europe, a European risked his life by staying in Homs among us. He also died with us. Maybe we need to root ourselves deeper in the Syrian soil, so we can survive and never leave for ever what is good there.
A comprehensive attitude This very characteristic quality of Frans came from a deep and passionate intimacy with Jesus and was the fruit of his living out of Ignatian spirituality. One of the slogans of this spirituality is "positive presupposition": the decision to assume that others possess good intentions.
Frans made an idol of this within the realm of inter-religious dialogue and was a man of reconciliation. Dialogue has almost vanished between the different parties in Syria. Could a positive attitude like his change the results of this bloody conflict? Perhaps we need to listen more to each other. Maybe we need to be more open towards each other and believe we are all brothers and sisters in one loving God.
Selflessness Frans succeeded in directing his knowledge in psychology and spirituality for the good of other people, not only for himself. He mastered the skills of listening and paying attention. I still remember how he was present for everyone, day and night, during a pilgrimage or a hike. He was so generous. What he had been giving sincerely to others was time: a measurable dimension to unmeasurable love. How do we stray into the forest of selfishness? How could we manage to return to the garden of innocence, where we can give without count, and where we share more than we take?
Endless energy Maybe this is a more personal one, but it is very annoying for a young person in his 20s to get tired of hiking while an older priest in his 70s leads the group. Especially when all we could brag about was that we could catch up with him for a mile. People are still talking about his tendency to walk off-road. It was a double invitation to us: first, to move forward, and second, to move differently. Frans was calling us to take the hard road, and to enter through the narrow door.
Frans was like other prophets and saints in that he faced a lot of resistance in his life. That was what led him to be persecuted and then killed.
His call for all to live together with one heart was annoying. Asking us to give up our prejudices and admit that we don't own the whole truth was also annoying. His brave decision to stay in Homs was annoying to us as well.
Despite his remarkable fidelity, the Frans we knew was still a human being who experienced the usual ups and downs. He faced both glory and failure. He was "another Jesus", a contemporary one who lived in the same context I was born and raised in.
Let's return to that celebration of Frans's 50th anniversary of religious life. He shared his vocation story with us. "One day, I entered a chapel," he said. "I saw Jesus crucified. When I looked at him I understood that the Cross is incarnated love, an endless one." And that was how he fulfilled his life.
I have learnt more from Frans and his life in Syria than I could ever have asked for. God granted me a model Jesuit to guide me by his example. Now that I am working with the Jesuit Refugee Service,
I hear his call echoing in my heart, telling me to "Go forth". To go forth by coming back home. One of my deepest desires is to continue Frans's work and embrace Syria as Frans did. I want to try to answer these questions: what will I do now? Where does God want me to serve? How can I continue what Frans began?

Most people say that they know the difference between leasing something and buying it, but they really might not know as much as they say that they do.
When you buy a car it belongs to you (or you and the finance company, if you didn't pay cash for it). When you lease a car, you're essentially renting it for an extended period of time. You've got to put a deposit down on it (like a down payment when you buy), and you pay every month (just like when you finance).
At the end of the lease term you give the car back. It's not yours, and it never was. Sometimes you can buy the car when your lease is up, but most people just trade it in for another leased car. You can't make any modifications to the car and you have a limited number of miles that you can put on it. If you put too many miles on it you have to pay extra for those miles. You also have to be careful of any damage done to the car, because you can lose the deposit that you put down on it and/or have to pay out extra money.
If you're leasing, the car you're driving will never really belong to you.

Mahinda Rajapaksa supporters are hindering the development plans of the government to retain their power in Hambantota by hook or by crook, UNP MP Mujibur Rahman said.
He said once the agreement is signed on the Hambantota port project, a committee will be appointed to look into the progress in which former Speaker Chamal Rajapaksa will also be one of the members.
Addressing the media at Sirikotha yesterday, Rahman said Rajapaksa's supporters fear that they will lose their power in Hambantota in another two or three years if the proposed development plans were implemented.
"This could be the reason for them to carry out false propaganda that the government has plans to take over religious places, schools and lands of the people," he said.
"The government was not engaged in any of these activities. It was during the previous regime that several plans were forcefully implemented without the consent of the public. There was no one left to speak when the former government was in power," Rahman said.
The former government seized the lands of the people to build the Hambantota port. In the first stage 450 families were displaced and in the second stage another 650 families were displaced. Permanent houses were provided to only 10 families, he added.
Rahman said the situation was the same in many areas in Colombo where Gotabaya Rajapaksa forcibly used the lands of the people. "MPs Udaya Gammapila, Wimal Weerawansa and Dullus Alahapperuma were also watching these activities.
They did not speak a word against the Rajapaksa government. The lands used for development under the present government are owned by the state," he said.

Smart EMS is a set of proprietary, TBGI-custom automations that work together with delivered AWS functionality to automate the creation and administration of PeopleSoft environments in the AWS cloud. For example, using Smart EMS, a completely new PeopleSoft environment can be created from scratch in 15-60 minutes depending on the size of the database.
- Environments can be maintained in an extremely consistent fashion throughout the pillar since environments are created using the same automations;
- Infrastructure is provisioned on a pay-as-you-go basis rather than over provisioning and paying for all your infrastructure up front;
- Environments can be terminated during non-business hours, nights and weekends, which saves you money;
- Environments can be massively scaled up, just before registration or period-end reporting, and then scaled down very quickly thereafter.
For more information, please see the Alliance presentation linked below or contact us.

House Tea-Publicans introduced a stop-gap spending bill late Wednesday night to allow negotiations on a spending agreement to continue through May 5 without the threat of a government shutdown. House Republicans introduce stop-gap spending bill to continue budget talks:
The short-term spending measure, which would extend current funding levels beyond the end of this week, comes as negotiators are nearing an agreement on a budget to increase military spending and border security and keep the government open through the end of September. The decision to begin work on a very short extension comes as no surprise, the final steps of a spending deal could drag on beyond the current April 28 deadline and congressional leaders are eager to minimize the threat of a shutdown, according to aides familiar with the talks.
"I am optimistic that a final funding package will be completed soon," said House Appropriations Committee Chairman Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-N.J.). "It is time that this essential work is completed so that critical programs and activities — including national defense — are properly and adequately funded for the year."
White House officials notified lawmakers earlier in the day that President Trump abandoned a threat to end subsidy payments under the Affordable Care Act, a concession to Democrats that is expected to clear the way for a bipartisan budget agreement. Trump had threatened to cut off the subsidies in an attempt to force Democrats to pay for a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico, a fight that became less serious after Republicans withdrew their border wall request this week.
"It is good that once again the president seems to be backing off his threat to hold health care and government funding hostage," Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) said. "Like the withdrawal of money for the wall, this decision brings us closer to a bipartisan agreement to fund the government and is good news for the American people."
Greg Sargent of the Washington Post had reported earlier on Wednesday that The White House just ratcheted up its threat to destroy Obamacare, a Democratic aide says:
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi spoke by phone last night with White House budget director Mick Mulvaney, and Mulvaney took the White House's threat to sabotage the Affordable Care Act to a new level — its most serious yet, according to an account of the call provided to me by a Democratic aide familiar with the conversation.
On the call, Pelosi reiterated the Democratic position on the so-called "cost-sharing reductions" (CSRs), which subsidize lower out-of-pocket costs for millions of Americans. Democrats are insisting that these payments — which the administration has been making but has threatened to cease — must be included in Congress' forthcoming spending bill to make sure that they continue. If they don't, insurers, facing a big financial loss, would probably flee the individual markets, causing them to melt down.
But Mulvaney told Pelosi that the administration might not make its payment next month, the aide tells me. And not only that, Mulvaney "made clear that absent Congressional action, the administration would cease making payments," the aide adds. A spokesman for Mulvaney didn't immediately respond to an email requesting comment.
This appears to be a serious escalation of the White House's threat to sabotage the exchanges. President Trump had said that he might stop the payments to try to pressure Democrats into agreeing to fund his wall on the Mexican border. But in recent days, Trump retreated on his demand for the wall, leading many to expect that the CSRs would continue, at least for the time being. And despite Trump's rhetoric, leading Republicans, such as Paul Ryan, have said they expect the payments to continue while litigation over them is decided.
But now Mulvaney is threatening to halt the payments as soon as next month, according to the Democratic aide. And this has insurers predicting that they may end up exiting the markets if this comes to pass.
UPDATE: A spokesman for Mulvaney says the claim that he made clear that the administration would cease the payments is false [but remains an issue for leverage. A White House official told Reuters, "While we agreed to go ahead and make the payments for now, we haven't made a final decision about future commitments."]
In fact, Anthem Threatens to Leave Health Exchanges if Subsidies Are Halted:
Even as Anthem, one of the nation's largest insurers, reported an improved financial picture for the last year, the company warned on Wednesday that it would consider leaving some federal health care marketplaces or raising its rates sharply if the government does not continue subsidies to help low-income people.
Joseph R. Swedish, the company's chief executive, set a deadline of early June for a decision on the subsidies, saying Anthem would weigh increasing rates by at least 20 percent next year.
These subsidies, called cost-sharing reductions because they reduce the amount people must pay out of pocket when they go to the doctor, have become a political football as President Trump and House Republicans try to repeal the federal health care law and negotiate a spending bill with a deadline looming this week.
* * *
The company is deciding where to sell policies and what to charge for 2018, and it is telling state insurance regulators that it will need to make significant adjustments to its offerings if the government funding remains unclear by early June.
* * *
Another for-profit insurer that has a major presence in the market, Centene, announced its results on Tuesday. The company expressed confidence that there was support from both Republicans and Democrats for the subsidies and said it expected to remain in the market.
* * *
On Wednesday, Republican leaders were seeking to assure Democrats that the subsidies would continued to be funded, although there was no guarantee.
Continued from above:
The pair of GOP concessions eases chances that the government will shut down this weekend, but a number of smaller issues must be resolved before a spending deal can be finalized, according to several congressional aides involved in the talks. Democrats have refused to sign off on several GOP-written policy provisions, known as riders, including those that would restrict abortion access under the ACA and end Wall Street reforms passed under President Barack Obama.
Republicans have not indicated how they plan to handle the policy provisions, but most GOP negotiators said they were pleased with the direction of the negotiations, despite allowing Democrats victories on the border wall and health care. The spending bill is expected to include several White House priorities, such as increases in border security and defense spending, including an unspecified amount to repair fencing and new surveillance technology to patrol the nearly 2,000-mile border, the aides said. Democrats have said they support increased border security as long as no money goes toward building a physical wall.
The "cost-sharing reductions" (CSRs) under "Obamacare" will temporarily continue, but this issue needs to be resolved soon because the deadline is approaching for insurers to submit their health plans for the next "Obamacare" enrollment period.
The next status report to the Court in House v. Price (née House v. Burwell is due on May 22. Stay tuned.

Alan Curbishley does not think Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson will make any lavish gestures in the January transfer market despite their chronic injury concerns.
On Tuesday, Manchester United confirmed Darren Fletcher would be taking an 'extended break' from the game in order to combat the inflammatory bowel condition which has plagued the Scotland international for over a year.
Manchester United have subsequently been linked with a host of high profile midfielders on the continent, as Sir Alex Ferguson looks at possible ways to alleviate the absence of one of his most trusted performers.
Luka Modric, Jack Rodwell, Javi Martinez and Milos Krasic have all been linked, perhaps tenuously to Manchester United in a matter of days, yet former Premier League manager Alan Curbishley believes Ferguson is unlikely to delve into next month's window.
The ex-Charlton manager intimates Manchester United rarely make any big signings during the winter break and instead suggests Ferguson is likely to entrust his young squad to halt their current malaise.
"It's a big blow for Manchester United because of the experience he's (Darren Fletcher) got" Curbishley told Sky Sports News.
"In the big Champions League nights and top-four games, Darren Fletcher would always be in Manchester United's starting 11."
Despite the problems at Manchester United, Curbishley believes Ferguson will stick to his principals and continue with their current personnel.
"But I think (Sir Alex Ferguson) will stick. He wants to see if his squad is good enough, so I presume he'll stick with the young players and if any business is done, it is done at the end of the season.
"It's very difficult doing business in January. It's very pressurised and prices go up which is why you don't see many of the top clubs doing business."
Manchester United are having to contend with a mounting injury crisis as they enter the ever typically busy Christmas period.
Fletcher's absence is compounded by the recent season long injury sustained by Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic. Tom Cleverley and Anderson are also out until the new year, while a spate of other players are also sidelined.

San Jose, California (PRWEB) October 25, 2012
Follow us on LinkedIn An essential for fuelling broader economic development, energy consumption is on the rise. Given the tight correlation between economic output and energy use, robust business activity across all major sectors across the globe is resulting in spiraling demand for electricity. Other factors driving energy demand include increasing population, growth in the number of people moving to urban areas worldwide, improving standards of living, higher mobility and trade. Waxing demand for energy is creating the need for expanding energy infrastructures as governments focus on achieving sustainable energy self sufficiency. Against this backdrop, the market for electricity distribution and transmission equipment is projected to register robust growth backed by increasing number of new installations required to meet rising electricity demand. Future growth will also be driven by the need to replace fast aging installed base of existing power transmission and distribution (T&D) equipment. Regulatory mandates for bringing improvements in grid reliability will additionally make upgradation obligatory, thus extending regulatory driven stability to the trend.
Robust industrialization in developing countries and the ensuing expansion of activity in energy hungry industries additionally paves the way for increased energy infrastructure investments including new energy transmission lines. Developing countries in Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East are primed to drive growth in the world Electric Power Transmission and Distribution Equipment market. Strong housing industry in these countries is a key reason fingered for driving growth of transmission equipment, since new housing construction opens up newer and additional subdivisions for distributing power. Rural electrification in these countries, as part of the ongoing industrialization efforts, is additionally lending traction to growth. While new infrastructure expansion is poised to drive demand in developing countries, upgradation of creaking power infrastructure and obsolesce will drive growth in developed countries.
Growth in the market will also be triggered by the growing focus on renewable sources of energy. Rising environmental concerns associated with conventional electricity generation sources coupled with the increasing need to meet the electricity demand is fostering the need for generating environment friendly electricity. This, in turn, is driving increased focus on energy generation from renewable sources such as wind power and solar energy. Also, a large number of newly approved and commissioned renewable projects are located in places away from urban centers and will thereby drive demand for equipment used to transmit and distribute power over longer distances. Poised to especially benefit are transformers used to connect to Distributed Energy Resources (DER). Increasing investments on alternative energy resources and fast-paced developments in solar and other renewable energy projects in developed and developing markets alike are poised to benefit the T&D equipment market in the medium to longer term.
Against a backdrop of rising focus on energy conservation, emission reductions, and smart growth in energy production, poised to score the strongest gains are high efficiency transformers engineered to reduce energy transmission and distribution losses. On an average, approximately 3.0% of total energy generated in developing countries is lost due to inefficiencies in grid transformers and as the spotlight turns on the amount of energy lost in transmission and distribution, R&D investments in higher efficiency transformers is poised to increase. Legislation of energy efficiency standards and guidelines for life cycle assessment for transformers will additionally compel market adoption of energy efficient transformers. Implementation of tax holidays and incentives to purchase energy-efficient capital equipment will additionally support demand in this space.
While the electric power T&D equipment market in most regions worldwide continues to steadily recover from the 2007-2009 world economic recession, the market in Europe is running into fresh set of challenges created by the regions ongoing sovereign debt crisis. The regions power sector, the most risk prone, is now witnessing reduced investments in the wake of renewed fears over the European Governments ability to get the debt crisis under control. With Europes debt crisis still far from being resolved, renewable energy is still a target for cutbacks. Weak construction market, especially the housing sector, together with reduced Government power infrastructure spending, especially on establishing new electric grids, is squeezing new T&D equipment orders. With numerous factors continuing to threaten capital expenditure in the energy sector, demand for electric power T&D equipment is treading the tight rope in the region.
As stated by the new market research report on Electric Power Transmission and Distribution Equipment, Asia-Pacific represents the largest and the fastest growing regional market. The region is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18% over the analysis period. Among the product markets, Switchgears represents the largest as well the fastest growing product segment with revenues from the segment forecast to wax at a CAGR of 17.8% over the analysis period.

We finally have a firm timeline on when we'll see the first phone with the augmented reality capabilities of Google's Tango initiative.
The Lenovo Phab2 Pro, which was originally scheduled for a summer release, is now slated for a November launch. In announcing a first delay, Lenovo originally said the phone would be available in the fall.
We don't have a specific date, but the CNET report cites Google's head of VR, Clay Bavor, as the source for the November unveiling. The Phab2 Pro will allow you to scan the room and engage in interactive experiences with augmented reality. It won't, however, work with the new Daydream VR initiative. For that you'll need a Google Pixel phone.
Why this matters: Tango has dropped the "project" label, but now it needs to actually be on a consumer-grade phone so that those who want it get a chance to try out the technology. Wayfair and Lowe's are among the launch partners that are planning on building shopping experiences, which we're eager to try out once the Phab2 Pro starts leaving the factory.

Elm City CrossFit Owners
Never leave anything for the swim back. It may be a cheesy paraphrase of a scene in the geeky [but all time great] sci-fi movie Gattaca. And, you may drown if you take it literally. But, not a day goes by where that thought doesn't go through my head. Why? Because for me, it serves as a clear reminder of the level of effort that I strive to put forth in everything I do. I have competed in sports my entire life. Beginning with little league as a young buck, diving in high school, and rugby all through college and right on up through about 10 years of rugby after college, I have always been part of a team. That seemingly came to a conclusion after my 4th ACL reconstruction in 2008. After initially feeling sorry for myself post-op, I made a commitment to myself. I would never say the words, "I used to be able to do ____________." Not when I was recovering and rehabbing, and certainly not as I get older. I made a commitment to make myself faster and stronger. CrossFit became my training program of choice to help me accomplish that goal. As an athlete, I never leave anything for the swim back. As a coach, I encourage you to do the same. Go all out, always! Push yourself to the limits, and give everything you've got. Why worry about swimming back, when you can see what's on the other side?

Dubbed as "The Average Joe," I was once a beer-drinking, cigarette smoking 310 pound guy. Through running and exercise I lost over 118 pounds in just under a year. Genuinely believing in the fight of the human spirit, I am an under dog by nature and can't help myself in living life and leaving no obstacle untested. I use this same energy and desire towards sound training and smart decisions. Being a husband to a crossfitting wife and a father to three beautiful little girls, I find it a breath of fresh air knowing that a healthy lifestyle is a very important lesson and is neither elusive nor exclusive. Crossfit has brought a new understanding of fitness and wellness to our community. I welcome anyone interested who is an underdog to test your limits and come out victorious.

Eric Nadeau - Co-Owner Elm City CrossFit
Growing up, I always wanted to be jacked. I read the books and tried to implement the routines, with varying results. The first book that truly resonated with me was Herschel Walker's Basic Training, which, in hind-sight, was basically CrossFit 15 years before it got trademarked. Weight lifting, sprints, plyometrics, gymnastics, cycling, rowing... you name it, it was in there. I did what I could in my bedroom and in the living room with my hand-me-down Joe Weider weight set . As a kid, I played soccer in the townie league for about 10 years, and I could RUN. After a few years off from that, I picked up ultimate frisbee in college. Cheap cleats and an extra 35# of weight weren't doing me any favors. I did some weight-room work, generally machine-oriented single-muscle movements... but man, could I move a lot of weight on the leg press! I was never slim, or jacked, by any measure, but I was big and strong. A few years later, a bit heavier, I went on [insert points-based diet here] to slim down for my wedding. It totally worked, and I shed all that pesky fat, and muscle, and had people asking me if I had been ill. Ever since then, I've been trying to recover the easy strength that came with being "the big dude." I was doing body building routines out of magazines when a friend first introduced me to CrossFit. He would do crazy intense workouts while I did my single-armed preacher curls and pec deck sets. When I finally asked him about it, he poured me my first shot of the CF Kool-Aid, and I was hooked.
With the mistakes I've made, I'm a HUGE fan of the real genius of well-programmed CrossFit: Mechanics -> Consistency -> Intensity. I strive to enforce that code no matter who I'm working with, especially the ECC Kids classes. One of the primary tenets is to try to hold them back, because while the intensity may come naturally, the movement standards? Maybe not so much. No matter how cute they are, we're not afraid to no-rep them if it helps keep them safe.

Coach Greg
Crossfit is certainly a good alternative to not doing CrossFit.
Crossfit is an essential part of my life for more than one reason.
I have always enjoyed being active, it is something I crave. The feeling of accomplishment and vital sensation has no substitute. While in college, it was easier to stay active. Getting a group of guys together to play a game of football, volleyball, wiffleball, etc., was effortless. After college, it became more difficult to stay active while being a contributing member to society and working for a living. So to fill my constant need to be active, I joined a traditional gym. Being in this environment was unsociable and unmotivating for me. I often found myself leaving after 15 minutes of being there (experts might say I have a small case of ADD).
Then I was introduced to Crossfit and I was hooked from day one! Crossfit presented me with an entirely new level of fitness. From high intensity interval training to weightlifting and everything in between there is not an aspect of CrossFit I don't like. But it's not just the fitness philosophy and work outs I enjoy; it's the Crossfit life style and the ECC community I have truly come to appreciate.
Since the day I popped out of the womb, which I know wasn't long ago, sports have been my life. While most children were watching cartoons when they were seven, I was religiously watching Sportscenter. I played every sport my parents would allow. However, the one sport that transformed my life was football. It was more than just a game to me. It was the practices that I never want to remember, those Friday nights I'll never have again, and those brothers that I never had before. The glory days ended and reality set in. I couldn't have a cupcake without it going to my hips. Shortly after coming to this conclusion I jumped around a few globo-gyms until I was introduced to Elm City CrossFit. It was only after a week that I was unable to walk, but I was hooked. It may have been the shenanigans that reminded me of the old locker room, but it filled a void that I was missing since football ended. Like football, Elm City CrossFit has been a lot more than just a gym to me. The discipline, competition and camaraderie that CrossFit has shown me keeps me motivated to attain the goals set. As the "Baby" of the group I look forward to not only growing as an athlete, but also as a coach.

My first memory of exercise is early 90's, going to my mom's aerobics class. For as long as I can remember, exercise has been a part of my life. Growing up, I played soccer, lifted weights ran, biked, and hiked. Although I loved staying active, I also was fighting crippling joint pain that would years later be diagnosed as fibromyalgia. In my early 20's I was nearly 200 pounds, chronically in pain, drinking far too much and unhappy. Something had to give, and it turned out that a giant overhaul in nutrition was the key to getting back in shape and managing my chronic pain. I quickly figured out that it's true, what you eat matters!Flash forward a few years later, I was struggling to stay active, still binge drinking and was bored with the solo gym routine. I drove by Elm City Crossfit and decided it couldn't hurt to check it out. At ECC I discovered friends and a community that would challenge me and give me the encouragement to grow as an athlete and as a person. ECC has taught me perseverance above all else - that when things get rough, you don't give up, you just keep chipping away at it until your goal is reached. I continue to learn from the coaches at ECC and am thankful for the opportunity to share what I have learned with others.
Carole Nasrallah I have always played sports but I discovered CrossFit while working towards my doctorate in Neuroscience and Metabolism, and it quickly became a pillar in my life. I combined my passion for teaching and my love of CrossFit by becoming a CrossFit L1 trainer. And although my days as a neuroscientist are behind me, I will always carry with me the work ethic, the fascination for body mechanics and a science-based approach, always striving to stay on top of the latest knowledge in the field. The most rewarding aspect of my life is to help people reach their life and fitness goals, no matter what these are (deadlifting 550lbs, doing a muscle-up, getting double-unders, walking up several flights of stairs without being winded, being able to play with your kids or bend over to tie your shoes). There is no small progress. It is an honor to coach you.Credentials:CrossFit L1Kettlebell seminar for coaches with Jeff MartoneCPR/EAD certified

I started CrossFit in 2013 for three reasons: to be better at my job, to be a better Ultimate Frisbee player, and to be strong enough to protect myself. Little did I know, it would change my life.
Before I found CrossFit, I idolized a physique that was unnaturally thin. And I nearly killed myself trying to achieve it, bouncing in and out of hospitals with anorexia and bulimia for 12 years. CrossFit gave me what I didn't know I needed: a supportive community of people working to make positive changes in their lives, a reason to fuel my body, and an outlet for my competitive drive and obsession with numbers. But instead of trying to reduce the weight on the scale, I focused on increasing the weight on the bar.
As I grew stronger, so did my confidence and sense of purpose. Not only did I feel satisfied with my body, but I felt motivated to continue defying female stereotypes and to fight back against a culture that venerates frailty and feeds women's insecurities. I love coaching others to achieve more than they believe is possible, and I feel incredibly privileged to be a part of other athletes' journeys to improve their lives.
My favorite kind of workout is a long chipper, and my most memorable workout at Elm City is the now infamous 2-mile "death march," which involved walking 2 miles with a heavy barbell.
Current Certificates: CrossFit Level 1 Certificate, CrossFit Olympic Lifting Certificate

"A better York is possible" is a campaign organized by CUPE 3903.
CUPE 3903 is a union that represents education workers at York University. We are teaching assistants, contract faculty, graduate assistants and research assistants.
Our local has almost 3,700 members, and we are part of the Canadian Union of Public Employees. As the biggest union on campus, we do over half of all the teaching at York.
Check out our videos: "We are CUPE 3903"; "Vote YES for a strong strike mandate!"; "This Contract Faculty time"; and "Members of CUPE 3903 vote to reject offer".
Like you, we are concerned about:
- Rising tuition fees and student debt
- Education funding cuts
- Racism and discrimination in the university
- Threats to safety on campus
These problems affect the quality of your education at York. And we want to do something about it.
We believe a better York is possible. For us, that means:
- Accessible, high quality education for all students
- A fair and equitable workplace
- A safe and healthy campus
As education workers, we bring these demands to the bargaining table when we negotiate a new contract with the university. On August 31, our contract expired. At the moment, we are on strike for a better York, and we want a fair deal for everyone.
When we negotiate to improve our working conditions, we are also negotiating to improve your learning conditions – and the quality of your education at York. For example:
- Improving job security gives us more time to develop and teach high quality courses
- Creating fair and equitable hiring processes helps make the workforce as diverse as you are
- Capping class sizes means more one-on-one instruction and a better learning environment
- Improving health-and-safety standards helps make the campus safer and more secure
We have now been on strike for one week, but we're still working hard to get a fair deal.
You can help us end the strike by telling the admin to negotiate a fair contract. Click here.
A better York is possible. Together, we can make it happen.

Gabi at Lean Green Island Girl, Michelle at Ironwoman Strong and I are all officially Ironwomen! (And Mike is an Ironman!) I am so proud of the two of them, I was able to meet and see Gabi out on the course multiple times and knowing we were all out there working toward the same goal was so helpful. Unfortunately, we never got to meet Michelle (but I was looking for her) but I'm sure that will change in the future!
At the banquet they announced that women were 24% of the field, the rest were men. Knowing that three of us did in fact become "Ironwomen" makes me even more proud of what I accomplished. Anything is truly possible if you put your mind to it, and don't mind some hard work and dedication.
If you know me and my long-distance tri recaps, this is going to be broken up into multiple parts, the swim, the bike and the run. Sorry, but it was a long day and I have a lot to say about it!
Really, I am going to start this one off before the start of the swim leg of Ironman Louisville.
Mike and I left Rochester on Thursday in the afternoon and drove to Columbus, Ohio to break up our trip. It is about a 10 hour drive to Louisville from our house. We had done a 15 mile ride at our house before leaving and when we got to our hotel we got ready for a short 2-mile shakeout run. I'm pretty proud of the place that I picked for us to run at, the Olentangy Trail starting at Antrim Park. We ran around Antrim Lake and it was really pretty!
We also hit up THE Ohio State University and ate at an amazing Mexican Restaurant.
The next morning we finished our drive to Louisville and went to our hotel that we were all staying at, where Mike's parents already were. We got there before we could check-in, so we went to take care of all of the race stuff that we had to do.
The Athlete Village was at the Galt House in downtown Louisville. Mike's parents drove us there and we got checked in relatively quickly. It was pretty amazing to see all the volunteers and athletes! We decided that day that we were going to go to the Athlete Banquet later in the evening with Mike's parents and our friend, Rob, who came to support us all weekend as well.
After going to the mandatory athlete briefing and buying a few things at the expo, we went to drive the bike course. I think doing so helped ease our minds a bit, yes there were some hills but nothing we couldn't handle!
At the athlete banquet, the food was not what was important, the stories that we heard almost made me cry and I was getting even more excited for the race on Sunday! I met Gabi and her husband, Pablo, at the banquet too. Our table friend (as I called him) was funny and told us that we could get through the race.
The rest of the night was spent packing up our bike gear, run gear, bike special needs and run special needs bags. It looked like triathlon threw up all over our room!
Saturday morning, Mike and I went to go get our final Ironman training workouts in! We just had a short swim, bike and run planned and we went to the practice swim in the morning. The practice swim took place at the swim exit and they had a 600 meter (or so) course set up in between two bridges. The Ohio River has a strong current and this swim made me a bit concerned for the race! The current on the way out (the same direction we would be starting our swim the next morning) was RIDICULOUS! It took me 20 something minutes to not even get all the way to the bridge. As soon as I turned around, I was immediately back at the other bridge and the swim exit. The current was really, really strong.
Mike and I tried not to worry about it, but we did feel like it was a bit of wasted effort. Regardless, we went on to bike about 5-6 miles of the beginning/end of the bike course and ran a little less than 2 miles near the Great Lawn (transition). While we were biking I saw our table friend from the banquet and we saw Gabi and Pablo! After we were done we went over to take a photo with both of them and chat some more.
My parents had arrived in Louisville while we were doing our final practice workouts, so we headed back to the hotel. We had some last minute stuff to do to our bikes and our gear bags before we went to drop them off in transition.
The volunteers at gear check walk you through the transition area and how Sunday will go. My volunteer was really nice and he brought me to my spot on the bike rack and to where my bike gear and run gear bags would be during the race. He also showed me where the women's changing tent and the sunscreen station would be, as well as where to bike out and run out.
After that, Mike and I needed to eat something so we all went to Subway for a quick bite to eat since we were planning on eating dinner at 5:30pm.
We did some sight-seeing. Nothing major since I didn't want to be walking around too much. We went to the Louisville Slugger Museum so we could see the giant bat, and while we were taking some photos I saw my brother, Justin, and his girlfriend, Hanna, walk up! It was a complete surprise (which is typical with my family) and I was really happy that they came to support us during our Ironman.
We ended the sight-seeing at Churchill Downs before going back to the hotel to relax for a little while.
A few weeks before the race Rob had given me a list of restaurants that someone he knows from Louisville had given to him. I decided that going across the bridge into Indiana would be a good choice since I figured that downtown would be a little bit crazy!
We had dinner at Rocky's and it was really good! We all just took the time to talk some more and get ready for the big day ahead.
Mike and I finished out the night with epsom salt baths and making sure that we had all of our swim gear that we needed for the morning ready. After watching some tv, we went to bed around 9:30pm.
And just like that, it was one more sleep until Ironman Louisville!

Getting hit by one of Google's Algorithm Updates or Manual Actions for using unnatural link building tactics can be a costly error to resolve. Pivot your strategy now, before it is too late. The Bayshore Solutions Approach avoids the pitfalls by cultivating a "Modern Google" friendly link profile and avoiding the link types that search engines have deemed unnatural.
Backlink History
Inbound links, also known as backlinks, are links from an external source that point in to your website. Inbound links were originally important (prior to the emergence of search engines) as a primary means of web navigation; today, their significance lies in search engine optimization. The number of backlinks is one indication of the popularity or importance of that website or page (this is used by Google to determine the PageRank of a webpage). Google's description of their PageRank system, notes that Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a "vote," by page A, for page B.
Modern Google
After much abuse to the search engine algorithms from tactics like keyword stuffing and content farming, Google has shifted their stance and are placing the focus on quality links in an attempt to foster original and higher quality content. Links from sites with a higher PageRank are more valuable than links from a site with low PageRank.
Google has released several algorithmic updates and penalties targeting questionable link profiles, suspicious linking schemes, low quality backlinks, and anchor text that is too keyword rich or overly optimized.
Major Google updates:
+ Penguin updates were a series of algorithm updates with the goal of fighting web spam and link schemes.
+ Unnatural Link Penalties are manual penalties that Google can place on sites when they determine that a site is widely attempting to manipulate the search engine results by creating links.
+ Panda updates were created by Google in an attempt to cause low quality sites to be displayed much lower in search results, this update also targets content farm sites (sites that strip and duplicate content from other sites in order to gain traffic).
+ Hummingbird is the most recent change to the Google Algorithm. Hummingbird combined search capabilities with the information provided by Knowledge Graph and concentrates on whole queries rather than individual words. The updates made to the Hummingbird algorithm also changed the impact of links posted to content on social media sites.
The Bayshore Solutions Approach
Any links intended to manipulate PageRank or a site's ranking in Google search results may be considered part of a link scheme and a violation of Google's Webmaster Guidelines. Although many of the following techniques were previously industry standard practice; at Bayshore Solutions we do not use the following methods for Linkbuilding to avoid any unnatural link related penalties.
Unnatural Links:
+ Paid text links using exact match anchor text: Companies that want to rank for a certain term (such as "red widgets") may try buying links from other websites with that exact matching anchor text. This is against Google's guidelines, as Google would consider this a paid link that exists solely to manipulate PageRank, rather than to provide any value to visitors.
+ Comment spam: Signatures in comments that contained exact match anchor text and spammy user names that post links into forum's comments are against Google's Guidelines.
+ Guest posts on questionable sites: Although guest posts are a legitimate way to earn links to your site, sites dinged by the Penguin update had links pointing to their website from sites filled with low-quality articles where the focus was on the anchor text rather than the content.
+ Article marketing sites: Thin content featuring links with exact match anchor text were another common factor among affected sites.
+ Links from dangerous sites: Links from sites that have been flagged for malware, numerous pop-ups, or other spammy issues are another factor that caused websites to lose their Google rankings, so links to and from web spammers or "bad neighborhoods" is a danger.
The digital marketing experts at Bayshore Solutions can provide a full link audit of your website, contact us today to get started!

Xinhua) -- Al-Qaida militants raided a military checkpoint in Yemen's central province of Marib on Sunday, killing two soldiers and injuring seven others in an apparent retaliation to a U.S. drone strike earlier in the day, a government security report said.
"Five al-Qaida gunmen on board a car carried out a surprise attack on a military checkpoint of the 3rd Infantry Brigade in a road close to the earlier drone strike site, killing two soldiers and wounding seven others," said the report issued by the interior ministry.
"The attack took place in the afternoon in an apparent revenge to the earlier drone strike. The 3rd Infantry Brigade sent reinforcement one hour later and fired heavily toward farms in the edge of Wadi Abida area, where the militants are believed to hide in," it said.
Earlier in the day, a U.S. drone strike killed at least two militants and injured several others in a raid on a house of the suspected militants outside Wadi Abida in central Marib, some 170 km northeast of the capital Sanaa.
The air strike was the second in less than a week after another U.S. drone attack killed five militants in the nearby southern province of Dhamar on Wednesday, according to the Yemeni government officials.
Dozens of al-Qaida members have been killed in such airstrikes since Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi took office in February 2012, after a year-long unrest weakened the control of the central government and allowed the militants to take over swaths of territory in the south. The Yemeni government managed to recapture several of those southern cities in May 2012.
On Jan. 23, a U.S. drone strike targeting armed militants mistakenly hit a house of civilians in Yemen's southeastern province of al-Bayda, killing two children, according to Yemeni officials.

On today's date in 1949, the Avro Canada C-102 Jetliner made its maiden flight only 14 days after the world's first jetliner.
It was designed to meet the needs of Trans-Canada Airlines (now Air Canada), which requested a 36-seat passenger jet to travel at 680 km/h with a refuelling range of more than 800 kilometres.
The Avro Jetliner project began in 1946 at A.V. Roe in Malton, Ont. It became the first jet transport to fly in North America and the second to fly in the world—two weeks after the flight of the De Havilland 106 Comet—breaking all passenger transport records and exceeding all design requirements. The Jetliner reached 12,131 metres and exceeded 800 km/h in level flight.
Howard Hughes orders a flight of 30 Jetliners for Trans World Airlines, but former minister C.D. Howe ordered Avro to halt development in 1951 to concentrate on the CF-100 jet fighter for the Korean War.
In 1981, Canada's Post Office Department (now Canada Post) issued a 35-cent multi-coloured stamp (Scott #905) as part of its Canadian Aircraft issue (SC #903-6). Printed by Ashton-Potter, the stamps have general tagging along two opposite sides. Along with the C-102, the Canadian Aircraft issue featured a Canadair Cl-41 Tutor (SC #903); a De Havilland Tiger Moth (CS #904); and a De Havilland Canada Dash-7 (SC #906).
"Design of this pure jet transport was initiated in 1946 to Trans Canada Airlines specifications, but when TCA's interest waned, work on the C-102 project continued with government support," reads a press release issued by Canada Post in 1981. "During 1950-51 the Jetliner established several intercity flight records and showed every indication of success in the commercial transport field. This potential was not realized, for the Korean conflict led to a decision that Avro Canada concentrate its production resource on the CF-100 jet interceptor."
The stamp depicts the prototype Avro Jetliner flying above Toronto. Robert Bradford painted the illustration, and graphic designer Jacques Charette developed the format and typography for the stamp.

First of all, take a look at the logfile, dvdwizard creates. The file can be found in the directory, you called dvdwizard in and is named dvdwizard.log. You should get a hint on what is wrong there and maybe you are able to resolve the problem by yourself.
The next step: look into the mailing list on http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=dvdwizard-users
If you're not that lucky, I suggest downloading the latest version of dvdwizard as a snapshot and retry.
Still not working? You should then search the FAQ and the mailing list archives. Maybe somebody had similar problems before and was able to resolve the situation.
If this doesn't help either, report your problem in the bug tracker on the Sourceforge pProject page. Please include a tarball with at least the log file and the command file (named dvdwizard.cmd in the working directory). Be sure to mention the Image Magick Version, you are using.

|Top Online Data Backup Rankings
Additional Controls Ensure Secure, Quality Processes for Mozy, Setting Company Apart From Other Online Backup Providers
SEATTLE, April 14, 2011 –/PRNewswire/– Mozyâ"¢, the industry-leading online backup service from EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC), today announced it successfully completed a SAS 70 (Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70: Service Organizations) Type II audit and received 27001 certification by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). In combination, these validations of Mozy's standards for security demonstrate the level of protection that business and consumer data receive as part of Mozy's backup services, further setting apart Mozy's services from those of other online backup vendors.
"We keep very sensitive data on our network, and when we risk-assess which vendors are safe to work with, these audits and certifications are high up on the list," said customer Rick Razum, Vice President of Information Technology of The State Bank of Geneva. "I do realize it's a long, thorough and expensive process to go through a SAS 70 Type II audit, and for those reasons most companies don't do it. So it means that much more to us that Mozy would pursue this. It gives us one more reason to justify our using MozyPro® to back up our computers and servers for years to come."
SAS 70 is a widely recognized auditing standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). SAS 70 verifies a service organization has been through an in-depth audit of its control objectives and control activities.
ISO 27001 certification is the leading international standard for measuring information security management systems. It sets out requirements and best practices for a systematic approach to managing company and customer information based on periodic risk assessments appropriate to ever-changing threat scenarios. By achieving this certification, Mozy shows its commitment to its client information and its preparation to face the growing threats to digital information.
"Data center audits and certifications are terrific stamps of approval for online backup providers, and customers should understand the significance of the SAS 70 Type II audit in particular," said David A. Chapa, Senior Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group. "Type I is limited to only an auditor's opinion on the provider's description of its processes and controls, whereas a Type II audit, which is what Mozy has been awarded, includes an actual physical inspection of the operation over a period of time. Think of the completion of the audit as a black belt in karate, with the depth of the audit as one of the 10 degrees in the ranking. These are significant achievements for Mozy."
"The ISO 27001 certification and successful completion of the SAS 70 Type II audit proves our dedication and commitment to protecting our customers' data by making sure our own operations are safe and secure," said Charlotte Yarkoni, Chief Operating Officer of Mozy. "We're not just asking you to take our word for it, as the ISO certification and SAS 70 Type II audit are third party confirmations of the high standards we hold ourselves to in providing the safest, most reliable online backup service on the planet."
