3.6 Engine swap --- help please
I'm about to buy an '07 3.6 to swap into my '06 CTS, replacing the old 3.6.
Should I remove the tranny along with the old engine, mount the tranny to the "new" one, and put them both back in together, or should I dismount the engine from the tranny and leave it in the car while I pull the engine out, then remount the "new" engine to the tranny while it's still in the car?

Re: 3.6 Engine swap --- help please
Thanks very much Matt, but I saw that thread in my initial searches. I was wondering if someone new for sure that it was better to take the tranny out too, as opposed to leaving it in like Brifinny did. Just because he left it in doesn't mean that it's best to leave it in, as he's a self-described shadetree mechanic. There's got to be someone here that can answer that question for sure.

Re: 3.6 Engine swap --- help please
Well I did my clutch and pressure plate etc. If you can pull them as a single piece I would. If the auto is anything like my manual those bell housing bolts are a bear. One in particular is right behind the outlet pipes for the heater core you MUST remove the pipe assembly if you pull the trans first.Get a gasket and o ring for it. And don't mess with the heater hoses at the engine side take them loose at the core side and replace them while its all out. Also to clear the firewall you have to drop the back of the cradle two inches and rotate the trans clockwise 90 degrees. To drop the cradle too you must disconnect the steering intermediate shaft at the rack. Ideally seems that dropping them together from the bottom on a lift is the way to do it. Those trans bolts are external torx e14 if I remember right. One of those hose clamp pliers with the cable made my life a whole lot easier.
Re: 3.6 Engine swap --- help please
Thanks again Matt. I didn't consider pulling the engine and tranny from the bottom. I figured I'd have to pull from above, tilting the two while coming out and back in. I'll be doing the job at the Auto Hobby Shop at MacDill AFB here in Tampa, FL, giving me access to bays with and without lifts, and more than likely all the tools I'll need. I like the idea of R&R-ing them together from below. It seems it might be smarter to go that route. If I remember correctly, the factory actually puts them in from the bottom.
Since Matt has a manual tranny, I'll ask this... Is there anyone here that knows for sure that going at it from the bottom with an automatic tranny is better? Or should I go the traditional route of R&R-ing them from above?
Thanks for the tips Matt. - Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements

When I go to my sons school they have an open network. Both my htc and my laptop pick these up. But my iPad gets errored and wont hook up to the net citing appledotcom is restricted on a blacklist. Do I have to get a 3rd party wifi finder? Or is there a setting on my iPad I'm not finding?
It sounds as if you need to talk to the school IT person. They may have some setting, or a switch thrown, that won't allow the iPad to access their network. If you ask, maybe they can figure out why the iPad is erroring out when you try to access the WiFi. Good luck. Marilyn
Apparently the school has blocked that URL. This should not stop you from going to other internet sites. Before you go to the school next time, try setting up Safari (or whatever browser you use) to go to another site such as google.com. Leave this open on the iPad when you lock it, so that when you unlock it at the school, Google should come up if they don't have Google blocked too.
That suggestion about gearing the safari page to a predestined target seemed to do the trick. Suddenly my iPad came alive with the blood o wifi. Amazing. It feels cold and lifeless without it. Which reminds me to check on the thread for not dependent on wifi apps. Thanks for the suggestions. Forum Power!!!!
Thank you for being kind enough to acknowledge that a suggested solution worked. Many times we never know the outcome.

NOT SURE IT'S MY BABY writes:
Hi sis' Khanyi, I'm a 24-year-old guy and I'm dating a girl, but I'm not sure how old she is. She said she's 24 but her ID says she's 27. When I confront her about it, she ends up crying. She has also cheated on me twice. The first time was when we started dating, so I forgave her. The second time was when I went away on a short course for three months. I left her pregnant, but she had a miscarriage. After that, she said she gave up on everything. I begged her not to give up, because I love her but she stopped taking my calls. When I came back from the course, we managed to work things out. We're together now and she's pregnant again. The problem is – I don't know if I should believe her that it's mine.
OH BOY! BROTHER, IF YOU DON'T KNOW HER AGE, how are you going to know if that's your baby or not? Do you intend to marry her? Are you in a position to fend for your girlfriend and your child?
A child is a celebration of both of you, but what are you celebrating with her? I feel you both need time out to just talk. Your relationship seems to consist of more confrontation and disappointment than bliss and harmony. You need to find yourselves before committing to anything – let alone a baby. KICK IT!
SHE TRUSTS HER EX MORE THAN ME writes:
I'm dating a girl and we have a newborn baby. She also has a five-year-old daughter with her ex. I want to pay ilobolo, but the problem is we keep fighting over her ex. She protects him and trusts him more than me.
Once, I posted a picture of the two of us, our baby and her daughter on Facebook, saying I was proud of my beautiful family. Somehow, her ex got to see this and told her about it. She freaked out about it, but later apologised for overreacting.
I told her she's too protective and believing of her ex and that it hurts me, but nothing's changed.
WOW! THE BITTER CASE OF THE EX! Your girlfriend needs to choose whether she's involved with you or still involved with him.
If it's progressed to a point of ilobolo, she needs to understand she's about to become someone's wife and should own that role. Matrimony means you, her future husband, becomes her first priority and any other man falls second to you.
It's rare for a man to love another man's child wholeheartedly and you're giving her this gift. Sometimes we need to hear this and be reminded of how blessed we are.
We tend to look back on our past because it's what we're familiar with, not realising the future is all we need.
She's unfair and disrespectful to you. And she needs to be told so. How can you pay ilobolo for a confused woman? KICK IT!
President Jacob Zuma has instructed Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan and his deputy Mcebisi Jonas to come home from a trip promoting Mzansi to investors, without explaining why they should. What do you think this means?
What do you think of the Miss South Africa pageant?
Do you think thick-figured girls should participate in Miss South Africa?
What should happen to Bathabile Dlamini for how she's handled the Sassa crisis?

Not right !
I handed the Doctor a report that something about me was very concerning from another Doctors office. He looked and gave it back to me saying it was nothing to worry about. 4 months later the issue has gotten a lot worst and I am being treated at USF for help.

Very quick visit, could not think of all the questions I had because I felt very Rushed.. He seemed in a big hurry. 2nd visit the same way. Don't like being rushed in and out and didn't seem to listen about questions I did ask.

Great listener
His first interest was what brought me in to the office. Asked me many questions about me and home life, what my hobbies were and what I did to keep healthy and about my eating habits.

Not Happy
My biggest complaint is that Dr. Kwan is always in a hurry. There is never time to ask questions. He leaves the exam room and you don't even know he is done with you, no goodbye, his MA comes in with your RX's or tests and he's gone. I feel he is more concerned with keeping on time then with spending the time needed with his patients. Yes, it's very nice you don't wait long, but I would prefer a longer wait and more time with the doctor.

I love this idea!!! The spoons are so pretty to see through the glass. :-)
Loving your blog! I'll get back to mine in October after my vacation - August 19, 2010 at 12:19 AM

I love old silver plate flatware and have a crazy amount of it now. I have so much that I use it instead of the stainless steel I have had since I got married forever ago. I really like your large serving spoons. I have a few but are not nearly as pretty as those!

I had already noticed these gorgeous spoons in a picture in a prior post on your blog and I SO LOVE IT! I always looks for silver spoons, but yours are so fabulous!! And I LOVE them in the canisters!!
I thought I had already signed up to follow you, but I did it again to make sure! lol I love your style! I am a smalls searcher but now I think I need to find bigger pieces to put my smalls on! lol
Have a great day!

What a great story on how you came up with the name of your blog! Very cool. It seemed to take me FOREVER to figure out a name for mine and I still don't really like it.
My garage is stuffed with larger items that I can't part with but "had to have". My husband complains constantly about this.
Love your spoon collection - charming but practical at the same time. Have a great day!

love your blog Marcy, it's beautiful! I was enchanted with your house when you had us over, and how fun you are sharing and enjoying your home with others. I've got you on my Google feed, will enjoy seeing what you come up with. Love the serving spoons, I have a big silver one myself that was my grandmother's. She wasn't wealthy; she got hers at a thrift store many years ago too!

Oh, my goodness!! I love the silver serving spoon idea for the canisters. I've been wondering what to use for "scoops" in my glass canisters. Now I know! Can't wait to gather up the silver serving spoons I have from inherited sets of silverware. Best idea I've seen in a long, long time. Thank you.
I'll be back!

How funny that you did this post today...I noticed your spoons the other day when I found your blog and loved them instantly. I even rummaged through my grandmother's silver and took out the larger spoons to...yes, copy you! :)

Have a wonderful evening ~

What you said is so true. It's in the details. I just got a antique silverplate sugar spoon very similar to yours and you turn it over and over in your hand admiring it thinking about the women who rarely left home in the "years gone by" but they had many beautiful things at home.

I am so excited to have found your blog. I have been following so many home decor blogs trying to figure out my "style". As I grew up I would be enthralled with old "junk" as my family and now husband call it. I had no idea until stumbling onto a blog by accident that so may other people liked to find uses for old stuff.
On reading this post it gave me hope...that my boring 3 bedroom 3 bath ranch that is LITERALLY an EXACT copy of almost every house in my subdivision can be changed into a HOME bit by bit...with old mixed with the new.
Thank you for not only taking the time to share your ideas and inspiration but your home. Off now to cruise the rest of your blog! - August 30, 2010 at 6:03 PM

Hi Marcy, I was just scrolling back to some of your older posts to see what I had missed, I could probably be here all night looking at your beautiful blog.
I love to hear how you came up with your blog name, and to know that you were blessed with some wonderful flea market friends, it's always more fun that way.
I can totally relate to this post, I also went through the Santa Fe phase(right after the Nagel phase) but let my ex keep everything after our divorce. New start, new look! I actually started thrifting and repurposing before it was "chic". As a single mom my thrift store obsession worked to my advantage.
I also keep one of these big green glass jars in my kitchen, it is filled with Goldfish crackers(my hubby's favorite)and he gets to scoop them out with a big beautiful silver spoon. I had also seen them displayed with the porcelain cups but, like you, they weren't my cup of tea(pun intended)lol
I now have a collection of large serving spoons, forks, cake servers etc. displayed in a silver plated urn/ice bucket.
I know it's probably too late to say that I'm going to cut this short before I bore you, so I'll apologize for being long winded and say...

I just love, love, love, your beautiful blog. This is a stupid question, but how do you take care of your silver and silver plate flatware? I have 2 beautiful sets and would love to use them daily. I assume the dishwasher is a no-no.
Thank you,
Anne Marie - September 8, 2010 at 6:08 AM

Hi Anne Marie,
I looked for your email address but didn't find it. I really am not a "polisher" ... If I do polish I use a cream paste I think the brand is Wrights. I don't put the good stuff in the dishwasher but I have some everyday silverplate utensils that I finally gave up on the hand washing... The dishwasher will eventually take the plate off but that's okay... I'd rather use them then have them sit in a drawer. I hope that helped.. If you have any other questions, just let me know!

Hi Marci,
the way you started your collection sounds quite fammilar for me. I started my collection of rose pattern spoons at ebay and after a while I had so many different patterns and information that I started to write a book about this fancy silver spoons. Your spoons are beautiful and as you said: they call always my name when I see such.
Have fun with your collection and wish you good hunting.

I would love to follow your blog! I have added you to my favorites. I like your taste in vintage treasures. I, like you, love the beauty of a vintage spoon.

Unctuous and spicy roasted eggplant, a favorite of chef Yotam Ottolenghi, makes a flavorful dish unto itself. Add an herb-flecked bulgur salad topped with yogurt, and the result is a stunning vegetarian main course.
4 Servings- 1/2 cup olive oil, divided, plus more for drizzling
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped preserved lemon peel
- 2 garlic cloves, smashed
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus more
- 2 medium eggplants (9–10 ounces each), halved lengthwise
- 1 cup quick-cooking bulgur
- 1/2 cup pitted green olives, quartered lengthwise
- 1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup currants
- 1/3 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped, plus more for garnish
- 1/4 cup pistachios, toasted and lightly crushed
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 350°. Stir 1/4 cup oil, next 7 ingredients, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a small bowl for spice mix. Score flesh of each eggplant half with 1/2"-deep diagonal crisscrossing lines, spacing 1" apart (do not cut through skin). Drizzle 1 Tbsp. oil over cut side of each half, allowing it to soak in. Season lightly with salt. Brush or spoon spice mix over, dividing evenly. Place eggplants, cut side up, on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until soft and very tender in center, 50–60 minutes.
Meanwhile, place bulgur in a large bowl and cover with 1 1/2 cups boiling water. Let soak for 45 minutes to soften and absorb water. Stir in olives, onion, currants, parsley, 1/3 cup cilantro, pistachios, and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let stand for at least 30 minutes for flavors to meld. DO AHEAD: Eggplant and bulgur salad can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
Serve eggplant warm or at room temperature. Place an eggplant half on each plate. Spoon some bulgur salad and a dollop of yogurt alongside. Sprinkle with remaining cilantro and drizzle with oil.

MIT chemist Daniel Nocera has unveiled details about his long-awaited "artificial leaf" invention, a small solar cell that mimics photosynthesis and has the potential to produce low-cost electricity for individual homes - an advance that could be particularly valuable in the developing world, where many people lack electricity.
About the size of a playing card, the solar cell - which uses inexpensive and widely available materials like silicon - is able to split water into its two components, hydrogen and oxygen. Placed in a gallon of water in bright sunlight, the device could produce enough electricity to supply a house in a developing country with electricity for a day.The hydrogen and oxygen gases produced by the artificial leaf could be stored in a small fuel cell, which would use the gases to generate electricity. Nocera, who has been working on the technology for several years, released details about it during the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society in California. "Our goal is to make each home its own power station," said Nocera. While U.S. researchers had previously developed a so-called "artificial leaf," Nocera's recent discovery of inexpensive catalysts, including nickel and cobalt, has made the technology more efficient and cost-effective.

I can get an iMac 24" 2.33 GHz 2GB RAM 500GB HDD BT MM & Keyboard & Applecare or a mac pro 2.66 GHz only 1GB RAM 250GB HDD 2nd Superdrive BT & Airport BT MM & Keyboard & Applecare the Mac Pro is $6 more. No screen so I have to use my 19" CRT awhile and wait to get a 23"ACD (hopefully with iSight & hoping Mac Pro would get front row & photobooth with new ACD and Leopard when they come out). Have to wait to get 2nd gig of RAM when price comes down. Only disadvantage I see of the Mac Pro is the thing is huge. Whereas the iMac is a nice space saver even at 24". Though when I get a 23" ACD, that is nicer looking. The Mac Pro is overkill for my needs but should never feel sluggish. Though the ports are less accessible in my cabinet style desk. Are there any reasons to get the iMac over the Pro with that price difference. Why would I really want the iMac or not want the Pro. Just a home user and the most I would be doing is iMovie/iDVD and eventually Final Cut Express.
You're coming up from a G4 Tower Spoil yourself and get the MacPro 2.66, but I'd get the 4 X 512MB RAM upgrade. Buy the 23" with your tax return. That would be my plan
Advantages of the iMac: Comes with the screen Saves space Can use the remote and Front Row Advantages of Mac Pro: More powerful upgradeable
Pros and cons with both solutions. If space is an issue and you don't need internal expandability, the iMac looks very tempting. If space is not an issue, and you want internal expandability, then the MacPro looks very tempting. Personally, I think that the best bang for the buck is around the iMac 17 inch. You could always get one of those and use it for a year or so then go hog wild with your purchase: 24 inch iMac or Mac Pro. Just a thought.
I really wanted a mid-tower. That Mac Pro is just so big, and though I know it has front ports, it is such a pain accessing the back ones in my desk cabinet. I won't have the ports of an ACD for some time. But I know it is probably the move I should make. Not really in love with the iMac. Played around on one at the store the other day, 24" with 2.16 and 1GB RAM and it was a little slow in Aperture and if I drop over $2,500 on a new Mac finally I will be upset if it lags and hangs. You think the 4 x 512 is better than getting 2 more 512 3rd party in a couple months or so? That's an extra $300, more than I want to spend.
I thought about that today actually. But I'd have to go for the $1,199 dedicated graphics. If I wanted the GMA 950 I'd have bought a Mini this week retired it next year to a media server, but my wife frowned at that and with the new iTV, don't need that solution. But a 2GB RAM 17" isn't bad. Only thing that sucks is I've been on a 19" LaCie CRT for 6 1/2 years.
You'll be O.K. starting with 1 GB if it helps you get into the better machine, but you get the full perfomance of the bus architecture when you run with 4 matched DIMMS. If you can qualify through the education store, Apple is charging $270.00 for the 4 X 512 MB upgrade. Anywhere you look for the "correct" heat spreader Mac Pro DIMMS, they're running $250.00 per GB IF.... you can find the 512MB sticks. You'll pay a bit more later but Apple is already listing a stand alone price for the X1900XT GPU @ $359.00 edu $399.00 retail. I know all of this stuff gets overwhelming. If you are running PPC Pro Apps, you'll want the 2GB RAM. ASAP. This high end server RAM is a new ballgame for most of us and most of the info I'm reading says it's best to have matched sets.
Personally I prefer an LCD over a CRT for computer related tasks. Others differ. Not sure what your 19" LaCie CRT resolution is, but I bet the 17" on the iMac will be higher. Granted the display area is smaller but I bet the resolution will be higher. And even though things will be a bit smaller they will appear more clear to you. I can't imagine going back to a CRT. Edit: To clarify, I believe that a CRT is better for games and photoshop (depending on the monitor). Plus if you do any action type video, watch TV -- especially sports, or any other high frame rate activity you will probably see some ghosting with an LCD. In my case, it doesn't bother me. The advantage of a small form factor with clearer display is worth it to me.
I had this Dell running next to my old Sony 17" CRT and I could't believe how much clearer and glare free a good LCD can be. The Sony was in perfect conditon but still looked fuzzy by comparison.
I know my 19" CRT does 1600 x 1200 and I think 19xx x 16xx, not sure the exact numbers. It is a diamondtron flat aperture grille. A really nice CRT as far as CRTs go.
If I got the 17" iMac as a hold-over, is it worth it to get Applecare. Does that help the resale. If I sell it in less than a year, they can always get it themselves. What about 2GB RAM vs 1?

I fail to notice I could activate my old account when using BOINC and created a new account. Upon realising my mistake, and already processing units, I decided to abandon the work and activate my old account. I recieved a new using ID, but it would not activate as Im using the same email address as the 'new' account. I can log into the web site using the 'old' user ID, but I can no longer using this ID to attach seti to BOINC. Any suggestions? Thanks |

By: Irene E. Edge, Assistant Professor, Kent State University (firstname.lastname@example.com)Northeast Ohio Chapter, AITP
Mark Ciampa, leading author of network security textbooks for Course Technology, states: "Although you need many defenses to withstand attacks, you base these defenses on a few fundamental security principles: protecting systems by layering, limiting, diversity, obscurity, and simplicity."1
I have always found it effective to create an acronym when trying to remember elements of a list, so by taking the first letter of these five principles, the letters can be rearranged to form the acronym SOLlD. [Note: The second L is intended to be lower case (to resemble an i).]
Here is my explanation of the acronym SOLlD as it refers to building a secure network:
Simplicity - Though you want to build your network complex enough on the outside to ward off intruders, you do not want to create internal policies and procedures that are too difficult to manage preventing users from being productive in their daily tasks.
Obscurity - Concealing internal network activity from external view should be one objective of the security implementation. Included in obscurity should also be the avoidance of clear patterns of behavior -- even to the point of random time settings for synchronizing critical data across the domain.
Layering - Building layers of defense to protect information security is critical. Layering includes the physical grounds as well.
limiting - Allowing limited access to information through authentication, permissions, access rights, distribution of keys or other access to the physical grounds reduces attacks.
Diversity - The application of security techniques (e.g., technologies, hardware and software manufacturers, passwords, traffic filters) that are different will ensure that intrusion at one layer will not guarantee further access by the same method.
I encourage you to carefully examine the system that is housing your valuable data. Can you apply the SOLlD set of principles to your security plan? Consider what is missing so that you can create a SOLlD, secure network, protecting your valuable information from attacks.

Yao Ming Sitting by Agent at 2014 NBA All-Star Game Leads to Hilarious Photo
Yao Ming makes NBA players look short. When he sits by an average-sized human, he has the ability to make him or her look extremely tiny.
Ming stands at 7'6", so practically everyone he encounters is smaller than him. His agent is certainly no exception.
Take a look at Ming sitting next to his agent, Lu Hao, at the 2014 NBA All-Star Game:
That just doesn't look right.
Even former Utah Jazz star Karl Malone (6'9") looks small in comparison:

First post and a couple P.P. questions
Hi guys.
This is my first post, be patient, I cannot dedicate much of my time to amps 'cause my other hobby is.. (hint: my nickname). Until today, along the years, I've only built some EL32 SEs (actually british VT-52) Yeah, akward, but those tubes seem to last forever.. Now I'm collecting parts to build a stereo EL84 PP and, obviously, doubts are rising. First issue is the PSU. In order to maintain the 'look' I thought EZ81 would do, but it seems like I might be pushing it to the limits, so I fear I'll have to go the 5AR4 route, am I right? I'm not considering diode rectification and will employ a pure LC filter (oops, hope the coil can withstand the current..). Secondly, as I'll probably use a cathodine ph.splitter, how comes that some schemes simply show identical plate and cathode resistors while others split the lower ones into two, (almost like when You apply NFB), guess it's in order to correctly bias the tube, but if it's so, why then some do and others don't (BTW, thinking of 12AT7s). Would both layouts work equally well or is the 'three resistors' configuration better? Will keep You posted, though it will probably take a while (and $$$). PS: as I've got 'more than one...' I shall be using classic tubes such as AX7, AU7 and so on... even a BH7 is a bit non std to me, sorry, I know I'm obsolete... Greetings to everyone and thank You. |

The cathodyne, like the cathode follower it is based on, has two different ways of achieving bias: DC coupling from the previous stage, or cathode resistor bias. Which is 'best' depends on circumstances, such as the rest of the amp.

Thank You DF96, glad You're around...
Yeah, I very much suspected that, in fact I've never built a DC coupled stage, guess this shall be my first time. I've just Read some useful info on a current thread about a ccs EL84 P.P., I'll just have to calculate static conditions (IIRC) to find out values of resistors. I suppose that 'the rest of the amp' is the input stage, well, almost... What do You make of the rect. tube? I know it's only a matter of summing max current of all stages, but as I've never built a P.P., I understand that the figure of max plate+screen current is for one tube, so probably an EZ81, given it's max ratings, won't be enough if I got it right, too bad... Also, as I have some mil type 12AU7 (6189), I know they are not very popular here, but would they sound so awful in a cathodyne or better forget it and go straight for the 12AT7 or maybe a 6DJ8? Thank You again. |

Use TV Damper tubes as rectifier. They are cheap, robust and can handle lots of current. A pair of 6CG3 for example can easily deliver 500mA DC Thomas

Attackers are increasingly focusing on stealing intellectual property from companies and governments, but details of the losses continue to be scarce, concludes a survey of experts released by two security companies Monday.
The report -- conducted by security firm McAfee, now part of Intel, and technology giant SAIC -- found that companies worry so much about the reputational damage caused by a data breach that they tend to keep leaks of proprietary information a secret. Only one in four companies perform a forensics investigation following a breach, despite the fact that analysts have estimated that proprietary business information is twice as valuable as the custodial customer data that companies store.
The result is that companies are poorly prepared to deal with the perceived shift in cybercrime, the report argues.

"We've moved away from kiddies in their bedrooms, to semi-organized professionals to organized professions," says Simon Hunt, vice president and chief technology officer of endpoint security at McAfee. "And now, we have people realizing here they can send 100,000 emails out and make $10,000 or they could target somebody like Google or RSA and make $100 million dollars. The reward for the effort is there now and people are willing to spend it."
This month, security firm RSA acknowledged a breach of its systems that resulted in attackers accessing critical intellectual property pertaining to the security of its one-time password technology, SecureID. And last week, Internet security firm Comodo warned that an attacker coming from an Iranian network was able to fraudulently reserve SSL certificates for major domains.
The survey is based on interviews with more than 1,000 senior information technology managers in Brazil, China, India, Japan, the Middle East, the United Kingdom and the United States. While the report argues that intellectual property is increasingly targeted, it provides little evidence to back up the claim.
"There is data out there, but a lot of it is being disputed," acknowledges Scott Aken, vice president for cyber operations at SAIC. "If you go into some of the forums, the information being stolen and put up for sale that is intellectual property is as easily monetized as credit cards are."
At least one analyst agrees with the assessment, however. In his early research, Josh Corman of The 451 Group found that more than 50 of the Fortune 100 have had intellectual property lost within the last 18 months.
"We, the security industry, have not given proper attention at intellectual property," Corman says.
According to the McAfee-SAIC report, the average organization in China, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States, spend about $1 million a day on their information technology, while companies in China, India and the United States spend $1 million a week on securing data outside their own countries. Worries about the safety of their business data has caused the most companies to refrain from doing business with Pakistan, China and Russia. The United Kingdom, the United States and Germany are perceived as being the safest havens for data.
Companies have considering different strategies to protect critical information assets. Nearly 70% of companies have deployed new systems, such as deep packet inspection, while almost half of respondents said they would take data off the network and make it unavailable, just to protect it.
In fact, McAfee takes that approach to some of its own information, Hunt says. "We have a lot of airgaps," he says. "Some aspects of our source code is totally airgapped."
About half of all organizations plan to increase their investment in securing critical business information, while only 5% are looking to decrease spending, the report says.
Mobile devices continue to be a major worry for companies, with almost two-thirds of firms saying that securing data from exfiltration via mobile devices is a "challenge," according to the report. The convergence of the greater business efficiency allowed by mobile devices and increasing use of social networks in business, risk to data has increased dramatically, the report says.
"These two forces represent an astronomical increase in the level of risk organizations face with regard to leaked data," the report states.
