Countable Pseudo-Recursively Saturated Models of Presburger ArithmeticThe following is a brief overview of Presburger arithmetic and pseudo-recursive saturation, which form the basis of my Ph.D. thesis. You can also read my thesis abstract, or get a copy of my entire thesis from the links at the end of this page. If you are interested in this area of mathematics then please feel free to e-mail me. Any suggestions or information will be gratefully received. Definition: is a model of Presburger arithmetic if is an Abelian group with binary operation +, < a linear order and such that
- (i.e. order respects );
- (i.e. order is discrete);
- for each .
It's also worth pointing out that A3 constitutes an axiom schema rather than a single axiom, which defines the congruence classes of elements mod . The least positive element described in axiom A2 will also be referred to as 1. From A3 we can define the residue map,
i.e. . Presburger arithmetic constitutes the theory of addition, for example, as we might expect it to hold in the integers Z. It is straightforward to show (using our element and A1) that any model of Presburger arithmetic will have a copy of Z embedded in it. It's therefore possible to consider the quotient group
of a model of Presburger arithmetic, which by A3 will be divisible. An automorphism of can always be lifted to an automorphism of . Combine this with the divisibility of and we discover that the construction of automorphisms becomes considerably easier.
A representation of a model of Presburger arithmeticThe notion of a pseudo-recursively saturated model of Presburger arithmetic was developed by Richard Kaye using ideas from a paper by Victor Harnik[1]. No explicit definition of the notion has yet been published. In order to provide a definition here, we first need some other concepts. Definition: Define
and consider this as a Dedikind cut identified with some extended real . If then
so we can extend this definition to cover the quotient group. i.e. if then
is well defined and equal to
Although these 'standard parts' are not actually fractions, they share many of the properties of fractions and with care can often be manipulated in similar ways. For a model we refer to the set of all such standard parts for the model as . Definition: is strongly independent if and
is linearly independent over as a subset of for all . Definition: Suppose . Let
Then with the set of 'values' ordered by
We use these definitions of standard parts and values to provide a definition for what we mean by pseudo-recursive saturation. Definition: If is a countable model of Presburger arithmetic with then we say that is pseudo-recursively saturated if
- for , each has dense pre-image;
- for with , there is some such that
- the set of values is a dense linear order with respect to < having least point 0 and no greatest point.
are strongly independent subsets of which satisfy the following:
- for all ;
- for all .
- each is non-empty and closed under pointwise multiplication;
- each is closed under inversion (where );
- when and then ;
- when and then there exists at least one so that .
In the above expression we have written maps on the right and refers to the set of automorphisms which preserve values, that is, the set of all automorphisms such that for all . The only two closed normal subgroups which cannot be written in the above form are therefore the whole automorphism group and also the trivial group containing only the identity map. All other closed normal subgroups, however, can be written as some and all such constitute closed normal subgoups. Having found all such closed normal subgroups we may be able to discover more properties of the automorphism group, and since automorphisms preserve properties of the Presburger model this may then shed new light on essential properties of Presburger arithmetic. One obvious result which follows from the description of the closed normal subgroups given above is that there are precisely closed normal subgroups of the automorphism group for a model of Presburger arithmetic as described above.

Greenpeace East Asia activists hold a 'clean run' at a Nike store in Mong Kok, Hong Kong. The activists unfurl a banner reading "Don't Run Dirty, Run Clean", referring to Nike's position as a Greenwasher on the Detox Catwalk, assessing clothing companies' actions towards a toxic-free future. Unlike some of its fashion-forward competitors, following its Detox commitment two years ago Nike has failed to follow through with real actions and continues to hide behind paper promises and collective inaction.

Teleprompters are one of those systems that's seeded in old, expensive video traditions, mandating superfluous equipment to achieve something absurdly simple to do in 2009. The ProPrompter agrees with this philosophy.
Using the aluminium ProPrompter Wing, an iPhone or iPod touch can be mounted to any tripod to work alongside small to midsized camcorders for a teleprompter system that's readable from 15 feet away. The $US99 (introductory price) system is coupled a free software available in the App Store.
Of course, as the company is catering to the pro video crowd, there's also a ProPrompter ProMag rig that features a more studio-traditional setup including an anti-reflection hood and beam splitting glass. That'll run you $US695 (introductory). Well, not you. I mean somebody with too much money to spend on gimmicky teleprompter equipment. [gizmag]

Greg Smith, the gentleman whom our advisor recommended, presented a couple of graphics that I think give further insight into some of the differences.
Here I will present only the "Legacy Planning Pyramid" (© 2006 Resonate Companies, Inc. and GDI Consulting USA, Inc.; used by permission):
[Click on the image to see it full size.]
According to Greg, "traditional" financial and estate planning comprise the first two layers of the Legacy Planning Pyramid. He defined financial planning as making appropriate decisions concerning investing; life, disability and long-term care insurance; basic retirement and tax planning, etc. And traditional estate planning: the preparation of proper documents: wills, powers of attorney, trusts, foundations, and so forth.
Proper legacy planning, Greg said, adds a legacy strategy (including statements of mission, vision, values and priorities), plus more advanced legal and financial strategies that may be required to provide an appropriate structure to uphold the strategy, and, most importantly, succession planning--practical plans concerning how one intends to pass on one's mission, vision, values and priorities to one's heirs, executors, etc.
I think it's interesting how many people there are who are delighted to help you do traditional financial and estate planning. Talk to almost any "advanced" financial advisor today and he or she will speak of these matters. These people are all about helping you analyze your life insurance portfolio, increase the size of your retirement account, save taxes, make more money available to your heirs.
Almost no one talks about the things that Greg spoke of as essential to legacy planning.
But legacy planning, as I see it, "adds" the entire layer (and I would like to suggest it is the more fundamental layer) of purpose. Why am I interested in passing wealth to the next generation? What is the purpose of that wealth?
As we discussed these matters, Greg asked a question. "Suppose we were to say a family has successfully passed on its legacy to the next generation if two things, at minimum, are true: 1) the family's wealth is still there when the first generation has passed away, and, 2) none of the members of the second generation have seen their lives destroyed due to improper use of funds; no family relationships have been ruined as a result of strife over money.
"Of families who use traditional financial and estate planning techniques and go no further," he asked, "what percentage would you guess are successful, according to this definition, in the second generation? How many wealthy families still have the wealth and are still relationally intact in the second generation?"
"Maybe one or two percent?" I suggested.
"Oh!" he said. "You are pessimistic!
"By contrast," he said, "what percentage of families do you think are successful, by the same definition, if and when they have engaged in full legacy planning?"
"I have no idea," I said.
"The statistics show 90%-plus," he said. [He referenced Roy Williams and Vic Preisser, co-authors of Philanthropy: Heirs and Values for these statistics.]
The key problem with most traditional estate planning, he said, has to do with a lack of "intergenerational communication," a lack of attention to "family systems, creating a shared family vision, and matching the passion and purpose of one's life with the purpose of one's wealth."
So Sarita and I have begun a legacy planning process.
More later.

Ariana Grande + Iggy Azalea Kill It With 'Fancy' + 'Problem' at 2014 Billboard Music Awards
We're kind of obsessed with the pairing of Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea, and their amazing mash-up of 'Fancy' and 'Problem' at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards tonight totally proved why.
Azalea started out strong with everyone's new favorite jam, 'Fancy,' bringing out Charli XIX to sing the chorus. As the blonde Australian rapper pranced around the stage in a plaid cheerleader-like outfit, the audience couldn't get enough of the tune and was seriously feeding off of the energy of the electric performance.
The set quickly switched gears and led seamlessly into Ariana Grande's performance of her hot new single, 'Problem.' Much like her iHeartRadio rendition of the tune, Grande killed it vocally, showing off her impressive chops as she rocked a mod-style, short black and white checkered dress and trademark high pony. Of course, Azalea did double duty during the performance, switching right into the rap on Grande's track, entertaining the crowd the whole time. And both ladies looked (and danced) flawlessly, rocking those choreographed hip-shaking moves that had the audience clamoring for more.

Adding arms
Some minor moves this week so far: Blue Jays agreed to terms on a Minor League deal with Japanese left-hander Ken Takahashi and today claimed lefty Brian Burres off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles.
Nothing too extravagant, but Toronto keeps adding more arms to the mix for rotation and bullpen jobs. Both Takahashi and Burres have experience as a starter and as a reliever. Today, catcher Curtis Thigpen was designated for assignment to clear room on the roster for Burres.
Here's a scouting report of Takahashi from NBPTracker.com:
"Takahashi has a fairly straightforward delivery with a high kick. … Takahashi throws a fastball, slider, sinker and curve, but I have also have a photo that clearly shows him throwing a circle change. Based on his walk numbers over the years I'd say his control isn't phenomenal, but he is capable of keeping the ball down.
Here's a clip from youtube:
5 Comments
Takahashi is an important signing indirectly because the way I see it a 40 year old vereran paves the way for other Japanese players to consider Toronto. On the plus side we should have the best 4-A squad in Baseball.
It looks like Kevin Millar will be a Blue Jay,
Where does that leave Overbay.
I would like to ask all of you how many wins do you think the Jays will win this year. I say 72 with luck.
9 more days to go I can't wait to see how many of the hasbeens make it,I think maybe only one,but I dont know who.
GSUMNER What do you think.
Garry, I believe Millar will be signed to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training . I hope youand your wife are doing well and you had a nice holiday.
I am a bad canuck in that I am not fond of hockey nor do I follow much football . I love baseball, all baseball and I will still go to as many games as I can for the sheer enjoyment of watching the Jays play , along with all the teams they play against . Now I wonder where my invitation to spring training is afterall I did volunteer for lockeroom duty . Hope everyone is healthy and happy …take care
It's hard to tell. Looking at how this was handled in the past, quite a few of them might be up here and young guys sent down or not given a chance. Remember, Reed Johnson last year and the trade of Diaz for Bautista? Now JP trys to justify his trade for Bautista by re-signing him for $2.4 million. JP does a lot to justify his dump decisions, so time will tell.

First Transit's partnership with the City of El Paso goes beyond the basics of managing operations and maintenance for their Sun Metro fleet. Since 2007 First Transit has managed the city-owned transit system serving the City of El Paso, portions of El Paso County and the city of Sunland Park, New Mexico. The transit system operates 57 local and express routes, offering Fixed Route, Paratransit, Park and Ride, Circulators and Job Express transportation. But Sun Metro didn't always run so smoothly.
Prior to First Transit's partnership with Sun Metro, the system was facing a crisis. With no long-term transit plan, the system was not meeting the customer's needs. With the possibility of a system shut down in their midst, leaders took action; hiring an agency that focused on the customer and improved service delivery.
First Transit helped El Paso begin a dramatic change in how Sun Metro was run and how it served the community. Within six years these changes, centered on positive employee morale, preventive maintenance, and community buy-in, led to the City's recognition by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) as the best midsized transit system in the country.
The revision of the transit system began with the simple but far-reaching goal: to be one of the best transit systems around. While First Transit began implementing changes at Sun Metro, it was the pro-public transit attitude adopted by city leaders made the changes possible. Combined with First Transit's customer-focused approach, and exceptional preventive maintenance program, on-time performance for Sun Metro has risen to 97-98 percent.
Additional community buy-in came from teaming up with an El Paso community organization Creative Kids, which put different Hispanic artwork displays in areas that had been popular targets for graffitists.
From 2009 to 2012, ridership increased 21 percent on Sun Metro, raising ridership to more than 17 million. The increase demand has spurred Sun Metro to develop new transit centers and ridership amenities. In the past several years the agency has spent $8 million on new shelters along with $31 million building four new transit centers. Each of the centers has Wi-Fi and real-time displays so riders know exactly when their bus will arrive.
"When the crisis hit, it became really apparent that we had to really do something dramatic or we were not going to have a transit system. First Transit came in and helped transform our system, creating a world-class, reliable public transit system for this community." - Joyce Wilson, Former City Manager, El Paso

Repeating history
By Lady Liberty
If you're a college football fan, you were doubtless delighted with the contest held between the first place Ohio State University Buckeyes and the number two ranked Michigan Wolverines. I have a friend who happens to be a big Ohio State fan, and I couldn't have missed hearing about the game even if it weren't under constant discussion on ESPN and mentioned in virtually every sportscast on every local station in every town in America.
I like football well enough, but this struck me as being just a little over the top. To compensate, I made a point of looking especially innocent when I needled my friend by asking him, "What's the big deal? It's just a game!" He nearly jumped out of his chair before he stared at me in disbelief and said, "You did not just say that...!"
Of course, even before what he calls "the big game," I'd been seeing commercials on television referencing the Super Bowl. It may still be a couple of months away, but it's apparently never too early to start the hype! What's even worse, though, is that the commercial had nothing to do with the game itself and everything to do with the commercials that will air during the game. After all, we all know that the Super Bowl audience is second only to the numbers that watch television that same afternoon solely to see the commercials!
Regardless of the reason for watching, the audience is sizeable. Last year's Super Bowl was watched at some point by more than 141 million viewers. According to Wikipedia, these numbers translate into something like 60% of all residences with televisions are tuned in at some point to the Super Bowl.
You know what else is a big deal? The marriage of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, more commonly known in the tabloids as TomKat. You'd expect Entertainment Tonight to report on the engagement and marriage, and it did. Heavily. (Entertainment Tonight had a special wedding segment in its broadcast every night during the week leading up to the ceremony, and a search on the ET web site for "tom cruise wedding" yielded 116 results to date.) But the wedding also made "above the fold" headlines at news networks like CNN. In fact, TomKat's doings have been big news in almost every spectrum of media literally from the moment Tom jumped onto Oprah's couch.
All it took to take the recent mid-term elections off our minds was a football game and a celebrity wedding. But while it lasted, there were some entertaining stories to be had from that source, too. John Kerry once again suffered a serious case of foot-in-mouth disease. We learned that the almost always classy and sophisticated Barbra Streisand wasn't necessarily either of those things.
One shrilly socialist female Democrat was re-elected and stood to become the first woman Speaker of the House (in a particularly delightful turn of events, her selection was followed almost immediately by a wholesale rejection of her recommendation for the majority leadership); another shrilly socialist female Democrat (who also offered up evidence on a regular basis that she might be shrilly socialist and psychotic to boot) didn't even manage her party's nomination this year. A third (also a Democrat, oddly enough) who is presently pretending to be neither shrill nor socialist was re-elected to the Senate from which most believe she'll launch a presidential campaign.
But entertainment value wasn't what won and lost elections for most this year. The major issues on the plate were the War in Iraq and questionable ethics. With sex scandals, accusations of ethics violations, and some of the filthiest mud-slinging campaigns in memory, it seemed that almost everybody was sick of somebody or something. In the end, anger made most decisions, and Democrat after Democrat beat Republican after Republican in an orgy of "We'll show them!" And after all that, we're already off and running into the next election cycle — at least one presidential candidate has already announced himself, and another said that he's forming a committee to see if he ought to announce his candidacy.
With the college "Big Game" over for this year, the Super Bowl yet to come, and politics back to politics — and politicians — as usual, we can all go back to talking about fixing the education system in this country. Academics in general continue to slide; programs like the President's much vaunted "No Child Left Behind" are failing to show significant improvement in test scores even as they anger teachers.
I suppose we ought to find it refreshing that in the midst of such a genuine crisis, some mother somewhere still has the energy to complain that Harry Potter books promote devil worship. (I'd personally find it more refreshing if she'd use her apparently ample free time to learn something about either Harry Potter or witchcraft so that she can cease her ignorant demands for censorship, but that's just me.) And then there are those who are so concerned with education that they lobby school boards and sue school districts to force them to teach creationism (they call it intelligent design, but there's little if any difference) which, though they claim the opposite intent, actually serves to undermine real education even further.
All of the worries over the quality — or lack thereof — in public education makes me wonder if students learn anything about the Roman Empire. American kids ought to be learning something about that, especially since the country that they live in is often called the greatest empire since the days of Rome's glory. I'd hope they're also learning about the fall of the Roman Empire too, particularly since that seems to have an even greater bearing on the country they live in.
Some scholars blame the fall of the Roman Empire on lead poisoning. The Romans used lead in their pipes and in their pottery. They used lead in their cooking pots and their utensils. As a result, their water, food, and drink was contaminated with lead causing most to have some level of lead poisoning. Lead poisoning has any number of symptoms, but in simplistic terms what it does is this: It makes you stupid.
With few exceptions, Americans don't typically have lead poisoning at any level. And yet there's a comparison to be drawn here, and I'm far from the first to have drawn it. Whether you blame lead or fluoride, or irresponsibility or bad schools, the fact remains that American students have (in general) dumbed down over the decades. And even if lead poisoning wasn't the only reason the Roman Empire fell, it's hard to argue that stupidity didn't contribute.
Some who have studied the Roman Empire also blame the fall on an overextension of the military and the accompanying drain on the public treasury. When the Empire could no longer afford to have troops stationed everywhere, it had no choice but to begin to pull them out. And when it did that, yet another contributor to the fall of the empire reared its ugly head: illegal immigration. Oh, they didn't call it illegal immigration then. They called it being overrun by barbarian hordes. But it was effectively illegal immigration.
When these barbarian hordes — or illegal immigrants, if you insist — came into the areas formerly held by the empire, the first thing that happened was the undermining of Roman society including such niceties as philosophy, art, education, the economy, and the common language necessary to ensure that all of those things flourished. Shortly thereafter, the infrastructure decayed when the upkeep of roads and the like was stopped. Not very long after that, the Republican form of government and the relative freedom Romans enjoyed was a distant memory.
I can't imagine that many can argue whether or not the American military is overextended. There's little question that that's the case. Certainly the reductions of the Clinton era didn't help with that, but wars in Afghanistan and Iraq combined with an ongoing American presence in other places around the world are compounding the problem. We should likely be in some of these places and not in others, but that's not the point. The overextension is.
In part because of the military overextension and in even larger part thanks to entitlement programs, the federal budget is entirely out of control. The tax-and-spend Democrats just elected to control of Congress are likely to escalate the programs of the tax-and-spend Republicans we just kicked out of office, and little will change except the names of the people we're blaming. And still I'd be willing to bet that more people will watch the Super Bowl than will vote (in 2004, a presidential election year which enjoyed what was considered a high voter turn-out, only 55% of eligible voters bothered).
But those 55% — and the lesser numbers who voted in a Democratic majority this year — are representative of the most significant (at least in my mind) factor in the fall of the Roman Empire: sloth and greed.
John Locke, who is much revered as a libertarian philosopher, said, "The people cannot delegate to government the power to do anything which would be unlawful for them to do themselves." Yet they do just that each and every time they tell the government to steal from the rest of us for their benefit — and that's precisely what entitlement programs and Congressional pork projects do.
The people keep voting for those politicians who get the most for them via those entitlement programs and pork projects, and then they wonder how it is that the politicians they elect do a poor job of representing, or why some are unethical in their lives and in their jobs. They apparently don't realize that, as Alexis de Tocqueville put it, "The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money." When such jobs can be bought — and when those who get those jobs can be bought in turn — you can bet that corruption will follow.
Call it the result of immorality (also a common accusation of American society from some corners today as well as another reason some suggest the Roman Empire declined), or point to the "bread and circuses" mentality of ancient Romans (most of us have little room to talk in the wake of obsessions with football games or entertainment personalities). But the real and most direct comparison remains those cited above: sloth and greed.
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the Public Treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the Public Treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy always followed by dictatorship." Alexander Fraser Tyler in The Decline and Fall of the Athenian Republic.
We've been a democratic republic now for 230 years. We've been effectively voting ourselves money from the public treasury for the last 100 or so years. We can compound that with loose borders, overextended military forces, porous borders and the accompanying invasion, a lack of education, and a determination to pay more attention to our modern versions of bread and circuses than to the writing on the wall telling of our own pending downfall. We can add to all that our readily apparent inability to learn from history. In fact, at this point, the only question we can possibly have left to ask is this: How imminent is the collapse, and how benevolent (or not) will be the dictator?

Three weeks from Friday, we should have a much clearer idea as to which immediate direction the movement toward unionizing college sports is headed.
A spokesperson from the National Labor Relations Board confirmed to the Associated Press Wednesday that Northwestern football players are scheduled to vote on forming a union April 25. Exactly a week ago today, the Chicago regional office of the NLRB ruled that Northwestern football players meet the standards under federal guidelines to be represented by a union.
The petition that triggered the ruling was was filed by the National College Players Association on behalf of former Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter and the College Athletes Players Association (CAPA), and had the backing of the United Steelworkers union. The NLRB agreed with CAPA's argument that the football players are employees of the university.
As expected, Northwestern announced two days later that it would be appealing the ruling. The university has until April 9 to request a formal review, the Chicago Tribune reported. The paper went on to write that the vote "could be delayed if the NLRB in Washington accepts the request before April 25, but that's unlikely."
A total of 76 Northwestern football players are eligible to vote for or against a union. If a majority of the players vote for a union, CAPA would then have the legal right to collectively bargain with the university on the behalf of the players.
Such a development, however, would likely be years down the road even with an affirmative union vote as most expect the case to wind its way through the federal court system and ultimately wind up in the lap of the United States Supreme Court.

So after receiving the very fun gift of all the James Bond films on DVD, the Matheson Family are embarking on James Bond Friday nights: working chronologically through the Bond films from start to finish. So obviously we got going with Dr No.
The most obvious thing about this film is how well it stands up for a 50 year old film. Certainly all the standard Bond aspects are there: the girls, the action and the witticisms, and it is no surprise that this film sets up such an epic franchise given a solid foundation. From the moment Connery shows up he rides that delicate balance between James Dean über cool and actually being likeable.
Naturally this film is outright sexist, though I have a feeling it will get worse in the franchise before it gets better. Ursula Andress is renowned for looking fantastic in this film, but is wholly unbelievable as a generically European diver. The villain, Dr No is not the strongest Bond villain by any measure, but he works well enough. This is a good Bond, and it holds up remarkably well in 2012, but it is clear that the Bond films picked up momentum later from this start.
No idea if I'll keep blogging the Bonds, but this was fun to start with.

Storage salaries increase
The results for Storage's annual salary survey are in and storage professionals report salary growth. While the increases over last year are modest, they do represent the third straight year that our exclusive survey has shown an increase in storage salaries.
Salaries in 2005 are better than last year and there's optimism that salaries in 2006 will average a modest 3% increase, according to Storage magazine's exclusive storage salary survey.
2005 should go down as a pretty good year for the IT industry as well as storage professionals. Respondents to Storage's survey report that salaries, on average, have increased as they did in 2004 and in 2003 (the first year of Storage's annual survey). And respondents are already anticipating salary increases for next year (see "Survey methodology" and "Storage professional profile").
|Percentage of companies with dedicated storage groups, by revenue
"With compliance, disaster recovery and business continuity, management can't help but notice," says a storage administrator who manages 100TB of storage for an Ohio financial services firm. "And the budget for storage is increasing. We just bought a new EMC Corp. DMX 3000. You think management didn't notice that chunk of money?" Storage has indeed become important, if for nothing else than the money it requires.
Gaining respect
This growing respect for the storage function is reflected in the continued gradual shift in the number of organizations with dedicated storage groups as more respondents report working on teams dedicated to storage. Almost 41% of respondents work in dedicated storage groups, up slightly from last year's survey. Roughly the same percentage of respondents (41.2%) work within a systems group, which has decreased from previous surveys.
|Average salary by type of storage organization
Still, it takes a sizeable organization to set up a dedicated storage group. The storage administrator from Ohio, for instance, remains a part of the systems group although he acts as a one-man storage group. "We'd have to grow far beyond 100TB before we'd need a dedicated storage group," he notes. Most respondents reporting dedicated storage groups work at organizations with $5.1 billion or more in revenue (see "Percentage of companies with dedicated storage groups, by revenue," above).
Maybe it's the increased respect storage receives when it's a dedicated organizational unit or perhaps larger organizations with more storage are more likely to set up dedicated storage groups. Whatever the reason is, those working in a dedicated storage group earned more ($82,136 on average) than those considered part of the systems group ($78,177) (see "Average salary by type of storage organization," at right). This year, the lowest paid respondents by organizational structure work as part of an application group, where they averaged a little more than $60,000.
Storage skill development
The more prominent profile of the storage function hasn't resulted in any widespread increase in recognition of the value of storage skills (as measured by certifications). The majority of respondents, more than 67%, have no storage certifications.
|Average salary by number of vendor certifications held
"I've had EMC training, but I'm not EMC-certified," says PNM Resources' Morgese. "A certification might be nice to have, but it isn't worth the time."
Jim Smith, an operations technician responsible for backup at Bechtel Corp. in Glendale, AZ, finds himself in a similar situation. He has no certifications, although a Veritas certification might be handy as he performs his backup responsibilities for Bechtel's 15TB of storage. "It might make things simpler, but there's no more money in it and management hasn't expressed any interest in paying for it," says Smith. Instead, he's putting his efforts into earning a Master's degree.
Chad Smykay, a storage engineer at Rackspace Managed Hosting in San Antonio, has earned a Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) and Legato Certified NetWorker Administrator (LCNA), but even he doesn't see much benefit in certifications for storage employees. "Maybe if you're going for a new job it might help, but in my current position there is no direct connection," he says.
|Storage consolidation and opportunity
The storage team at Sisu Medical Systems, the systems organization for a 14-hospital consortium in Duluth, MN, has a busy year coming up, which translates into opportunities for storage administrators. The group, which includes about a half-dozen system and storage administrators, has been deeply involved in a multiyear server and storage consolidation project, migrating from DAS to a centralized IBM Corp. blade server and a Fibre Channel (FC) SAN with an 8TB IBM DS4000 array. "When we get all the servers and storage consolidated, it will come to over 20TB," says William Sislo, director of technical operations. To stretch the firm's budget, the consolidation project will take several years.
Beginning in 2006, the team will begin rolling out a new centralized Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) capability for radiology imaging. The hospitals currently run PACS on local servers with DAS. The centralized system will use a new IBM array with SATA drives connected to the existing FC network.
To handle this work, the organization is hiring additional system and storage administrators. "We get a lot of interest from entry-level people. It's harder to find qualified system and storage administrators who want to come here," says Sislo. If you don't mind the far northern climate, working at Sisu can be quite nice. "We got raises and bonuses this year," says Sislo, and management has been supportive of storage.
Chasing certifications isn't rewarding in the majority of cases. Those with two certifications clearly did best, averaging almost $83,000. However, those with one or three certifications actually did worse on average--$76,786 and $73,500, respectively--than those with no certifications ($77,307) (see "Average salary by number of vendor certifications held," above).
Improving economy
In our 2003 Storage survey, the average annual salary showed a respectable gain over what respondents reported averaging in 2002, a time when the IT industry was suffering from the economic slowdown brought on by the dot-com bust in 2001. But the economy has certainly improved since then. This year, Storage's survey respondents had an average salary of $77,545 vs. the $73,829 reported for 2004, more than a 5% gain. Next year, respondents anticipate salary increases to push the average annual salary to a little more than $80,000, approximately a 3% gain.
|Storage Professional Profile
Two hundred and fifty people describing themselves as storage managers or administrators responded to the 2005 Storage salary survey.
Respondents spend almost half their time on storage. Of that:
Almost 90% manage from one to 10 people
Almost 39% manage 10TB to 99TB; nearly 31% manage 100TB or more
More than half are college graduates; 16% have advanced college degrees, while 23% have some college
More than half have six to 15 years of IT experience; more than one-third have 16 years or more of experience
In upbeat hiring news, the American Electronics Association (AeA) reported that the technology sector added nearly 190,000 jobs between January 2004 and June 2005, bringing the tech jobs total to 5.72 million. The latest results continue a trend of net increases in tech jobs over the past six-, 12- and 18-month timeframes. Based on this data, the AeA concludes that "the high-tech industry has recovered from the bursting of the tech bubble of 2000 to 2001." While technology manufacturers added a modest number of jobs (21,800)--which was the first employment growth in tech manufacturing since 2000--the big growth came from tech services providers, which added 167,000 net jobs over the same time period for a total of 4.36 million jobs, according to the AeA (see "Storage consolidation and opportunity," previous page).
Rackspace Managed Hosting is typical of tech service providers cited by AeA that are adding jobs. "We're growing. We're healthy. We're getting raises and bonuses every year," says the firm's Smykay. Salaries in the IT services industry average $77,703, while industry bonuses averaged a little more than $3,800 this year.
Survey Methodology
The data used in this report was gathered through an e-mail survey conducted in September 2005. The survey was sent to a sampling of Storage subscribers; there were 250 valid responses. Telephone interviews were conducted with selected respondents and others who manage storage.
Top pay
If you were employed in the media/publishing industry by a company located in the Mid-Atlantic region, managed more than 500TB of storage and 21 to 50 people, possessed two storage certifications and worked in a dedicated storage group, this would be your best chance, on average, to pull in one of the biggest storage salaries.
2005 average salary by region
Average salary by storage capacity managed
The media/publishing industry also doled out the largest raises in terms of a percentage gain (nearly 16%), followed by transportation/travel & hospitality at 12.8%. Raises in other industries didn't get out of the mid single-digits (see "2004 to 2005 salary increases by industry," previous page).
The biggest bonuses, however, are anticipated in the healthcare/pharmaceuticals industry. Respondents in this field expect an average of $8,236 in bonuses; they were followed by respondents in manufacturing ($7,838), financial services ($7,082) and utilities ($6,321). Anticipated bonuses in the media/publishing industry, which generally paid well in this year's survey, averaged only $2,229 vs. an overall average bonus of $5,495; this was up from an average bonus of $4,000 the year before. However, 87 of our 250 respondents received no bonus in 2005 (see "Anticipated 2005 bonus by industry," previous page).
Location, location, location
Where you live also makes a difference. The Mid-Atlantic region led with an average salary of $82,507, followed by the Midwest and Pacific regions ($79,531 and $79,500, respectively). The worst average salary was in the Mountain States ($66,444), although that region may have other charms, especially if you like the great outdoors (see "2005 average salary by region," previous page).
Average salary by number of people managed
2004 to 2005 salary increase by region
Anticipated 2005 bonus by region
Similarly, working for larger companies generally paid better. Those working at companies with $5.1 billion to $10 billion in annual revenue did better ($87,059) than respondents working at companies with less than $50 million in revenue, which paid average salaries of $67,310.
Based on Storage's 2005 salary survey, this year can be considered a good one for storage professionals--not like the boom years that preceded the dot-com bust, but a steady, incremental advance over the previous year. With the war against terrorism still being waged, massive resources being diverted to recover from natural disasters, and gas and energy prices soaring, steady, incremental salary growth may be the most anyone should expect.

Pratt & Whitney Powers First Ship-based Catapult Launch of Unmanned Combat Air System
The X-47B Unmanned Combat Air System demonstrator (UCAS-D) completed its first ever carrier-based catapult launch from USS George H.W. Bush off the coast of Virginia on Tuesday. Pratt & Whitney's F100-PW-220U engine and exhaust system powered the historic flight.
The unmanned aircraft launched from the deck of George H.W. Bush at 11:18 a.m. on May 14. It executed several planned low approaches to the carrier and safely transited across the Chesapeake Bay to land at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md., after a 65-minute flight.
"This is exciting news for Pratt & Whitney and a watershed event for the Navy. We have worked several years with Northrop Grumman, the Navy and our industry partners to achieve this success," said Jimmy Reed, Pratt & Whitney's director of Advanced Programs, whose team supplied the engines for the UCAS-D program. "Three members of our team were aboard the USS H.W. Bush and personally witnessed this historic event. Throughout this program, our F100-PW-220U engines have performed flawlessly. Only in retrospect will we fully appreciate this accomplishment and its impact on Naval aviation, but today we can simply feel proud of our product and our support of this program."
Completing another important first for the UCAS-D program, the team demonstrated the ability to precisely navigate the X-47B within the controlled airspace around an aircraft carrier at sea and seamlessly pass control of the air vehicle from a "mission operator" aboard the carrier to one located in the Mission Test Control Center at NAS Patuxent River for landing.
Prior to the catapult launch on May 14, the UCAS test team also conducted deck-handling and ship-integration testing to demonstrate the capability to safely operate the X-47B in the dynamic, unforgiving environment of an aircraft carrier flight deck.
Northrop Grumman awarded a contract to Pratt & Whitney in 2008 to develop and integrate the engine and exhaust system for the X-47B. The Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-220U engine, a derivative of the F100-PW-220 and -220E engine models that power the F-15 Eagle and F-16 Falcon, enjoys the maturity gained from more than 12 million hours of operational experience.
The F100-PW-220U engine is capable of providing up to 16,000 pounds of thrust and is intended for operation in a maritime environment, including carrier deck operations.

You can choose either a gloss black or textured black finish for your light bar and N-Fab is so sure of their light bar quality, they give you a lifetime warranty on the craftsmanship and an impressive 5 year warranty on the finish!

There's always room for another building toy, especially if that toy is sharp and/or full of high fructose corn syrup.
So you take some gumdrops, and you take some bamboo skewers, and you stick the bamboo skewers in the gumdrops--
The gumdrops are sticky on the inside, so they hold the skewers really well, but they're also gummy, so they're very forgiving if you want to change the angle of a certain skewer or fit it somewhere just a little different from where you'd originally intended.
We all had a lot of fun with this, and several massive creations resulted:
As for Syd's obsession, have any of you ever read the Tripod trilogy of young adult novels?

Gumdrops. On a Stick!

We have done this with toothpicks, but I never thought to use skewers. Funny, since we always have them. I am going to have to give that a try!

You can make structures that are soooooooo big with the skewers! My plan is to get some different gummy stuff, too, because how fun would it be to build a structure out of impaled gummy bears?

What the 2015 IECC Means for Contractors and Home Buyers
A version of this article appears in the Fall 2016 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
July 03, 2016
The latest International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) sets a high bar for residential energy efficiency, and slowly but surely states are moving toward more energy-efficient homes. Along with stricter energy goals, the 2015 IECC introduced standard options for airtightness tests, as well as an Energy Rating Index to simplify a home's energy efficiency for the average home buyer.

BlackBerry® 10 has been designed from the ground up as a new mobile computing platform, based on careful study of how we interact with devices, the work and personal activities that fill our days, and our drive to be connected and get things done. There are new features not yet seen before in the mobile landscape, as well as a flow of interaction that will be intuitive, seamless, and functional. Today I'd like to share some of what that experience will hold for both business professionals who are always on the go, and IT administrators that work to secure, manage, and enable smartphones and tablets in their organizations.
The Balance between Work and Personal Use
Smartphones aren't meant to be single-purpose devices. They allow us to connect to a world of information, capture moments, and stay close to both colleagues and friends. We've designed BlackBerry 10 to serve both personal and work purposes, along with everything in between. The key here is to allow for a rapid flow between these two uses, just as we rapidly flow between a quick personal conversation and then jump into a meeting for work. BlackBerry 10 smartphones and the platform itself are designed to fit into your life and your particular style of use as you tackle what's on your plate.
The way that we've enabled this concept is through BlackBerry® Balance™ technology. You may have heard the term before – the beginnings of this technology are active today on many BlackBerry® 6 and BlackBerry® 7 OS smartphones, as well as the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet with version 2 of the PlayBook OS, but BlackBerry 10 brings the functionality and experience to a whole new level. Let's look at both the business professional experience and the IT administrator experience.
Business Professionals: Adapting to Your Movements
To switch between work and personal spaces on BlackBerry 10 smartphones, you simply swipe down from anywhere on the Home Screen, causing "Work" and "Personal" buttons to appear at the top of the display, letting you tap from one profile to the other. A swipe and a tap is all it takes to switch gears.
Once you've entered the work space of your BlackBerry 10 smartphone, you can access dedicated corporate applications, access your intranet and company web apps, work on and share files and documents, and much more. You can even download work apps on the BlackBerry App World™ storefront – apps that your company has developed and made available to employees or that have been selected from BlackBerry App World as recommended apps. Mandatory apps can be pushed straight to the devices.
In the personal space of your BlackBerry 10 smartphone, you'll have the ability to install apps, use social networks, manage photos, create videos, and take advantage of all that the device has to offer. Data is designed to be protected in each space, so you won't lose your personal photos, music, or any other information if your device is wiped by your IT department. With this functionality, you can seamlessly swap between work and personal activity on the device.
It gets even better when we look at apps that bridge the gap and allow you to access both work and personal information if the work area is unlocked such as the BlackBerry Hub, Contacts, and Calendar. In the BlackBerry Hub, you'll be able to see work and personal emails, messages, social media activity, and more. If the work space is locked, only personal messages will appear. Similarly, in the Calendar application, work events appear as locked events until the work space is unlocked.
With a platform built to fit into both your work and personal life, you can do it all on a single smartphone by managing your connections and communication from unified apps, or by accessing dedicated personal or work applications within each space.
IT Administrators: Managing and Securing Data
BlackBerry 10 with BlackBerry Balance – managed by BlackBerry® Enterprise Service 10 – will allow you to embrace the trend of employees bringing their own devices to work. While BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 will allow you to manage iOS® and Android™ smartphones and tablets as well, let's look at some of the features that will make BlackBerry 10 clearly stand apart.
Corporate data on the smartphones is strictly secured, encrypted, and grounded in the work space. Even when end users are able to view both work and personal data side by side, the work data is completely manageable and protected. Here are some examples of protection features as well as policies that IT administrators will be able to enforce.
- Work files can only be viewed and edited by work applications
- A custom wallpaper can be set for the work space of the device
- Cut and copied work data cannot be pasted into the personal space
- Corporate data can't be transferred to a microSD card or USB peripherals – this will be available as a management option for IT administrators in future releases
- Applications can be pushed to devices or provided optionally, including public BlackBerry App World apps without the need to obtain the source files
- Specific controls for network routings in the work and personal spaces
BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 has been designed so that IT administrators will be able to utilize a single web-based console for rapid and simplified enterprise mobility management, with features such as configuring settings, enabling or disabling policies, controlling how users can interact with corporate data, and more.
BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 represents a consolidation of our enterprise mobility management (EMM) product portfolio and will act as a complete solution for managing mobile devices, enabling communication and collaboration, and making mobile administration much more straightforward. Existing BlackBerry Enterprise Servers will be integrated and all components will ultimately reside on the same physical server. Read more in our update on the Inside BlackBerry for Business Blog.
Adaptable, Manageable, and Personal
We believe that BlackBerry 10 smartphones will enhance the way that we interact with mobile devices, and solve the dilemma of work and personal use on a single device. Learn more about what's ahead with the BlackBerry 10 platform by checking out the links to further resources below, and stay tuned for further details!
