Defense Management: Proposed Lodging Policy May Lead to Improvements, but More Actions Are Required.
GAO-02-351 March 18, 2002The military services primarily operate two types of hotels, or lodges, to support official travelers. The first, called permanent-change-of-station (PCS) lodges, support military personnel and their families moving to new duty stations. These are intended to provide military travelers and their families with a clean, affordable place to stay while they prepare to move and while they wait for permanent quarters at their new station. The second type, called temporary duty (TDY) lodges, support military and civilians temporarily traveling on official business. PCS lodges are the subject of a proposed policy change by the Department of Defense (DOD). DOD's current policy permits PCS lodges to be managed as part of morale, welfare, and recreation (MWR) programs. The proposed policy would change this practice by requiring separation of lodge revenues from those used for MWR purposes. Except for the Marine Corps, the proposed policy change will not impact the services' MWR programs. Only the Marine Corps currently uses PCS lodge earnings to support its MWR programs. From fiscal years 1996 through 2000, the net profits reported by the Marine Corps' lodges steadily increased from $1.8 million to $5.1 million, and are considered an important source of funds for the Marine Corps' MWR programs. Marine Corps officials do not believe the policy change is required and said that, if implemented, the Corps would have to make changes, such as reducing quality-of-life programs at some installations or seeking additional appropriations to compensate for the loss of this revenue. The proposed policy is predicated on resolving a perceived regulatory conflict and achieving other management objectives. DOD officials believe separation of PCS lodging funds from MWR funds is required to resolve a conflict with the Joint Federal Travel Regulation. However, the regulation does not apply to lodging management, and the policy change, by itself, is likely to have little direct effect on DOD's broader management objectives. The services' plans for building new PCS lodges are consistent with department guidance. The proposed change will not, by itself, change that guidance.

Raising the Bar
With strict regulations in place to protect worker's exposure to hand-arm vibration (HAV), professional grounds maintenance equipment manufacturer Dennis, are continually striving to improve their machines in recognition of the need to counteract harmful vibration. Vibration can damage blood vessels and nerves in the fingers, leading to a loss of feeling in the fingers and hands. It can cause the industrial disease 'vibration white finger' which, in extreme cases can make it too painful for workers to hold equipment.

We examine a model for non-Fickian "sorption overshoot" behavior in diffusive polymer-penetrant systems. The equations of motion proposed by Cohen and White [SIAM J. Appl. Math., 51 (1991), pp. 472–483] are solved for two-dimensional problems using matched asymptotic expansions. The phenomenon of shock formation predicted by the model is examined and contrasted with similar behavior in classical reaction-diffusion systems. Mass uptake curves produced by the model are examined and shown to compare favorably with experimental observations.

Troisi, G.M., Haraguchi, K., Kaydoo, D.S., Nyman, M., Aguilar, A., Borrell, A., Siebert, U. and Mason, C.F. (2000) Bioaccumulation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dichlorodiphenylethane (DDE) methyl sulfones in tissues of seal and dolphin morbillivirus epizootic victims. Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health - Part A Current Issues, 62(1), pp. 1-8. ISSN (print) 1528-7394
Full text not available from this archive.Abstract
Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) and dichlorodiphenylethane (DDE) methyl sulfone (MSF) metabolites possess high affinities for binding two homologous 16,000 Da homodimeric receptor proteins in the lung (Clara cell secretory protein, CCSP) and the uterus (uteroglobin, UG), leading to selective bioaccumulation of MSFs in these tissues. As marine mammals are highly exposed to organochlorines, concentrations of PCBs, PCB MSFs, DDT, and DDE MSF were analyzed in blubber, lung, and uterus samples from harbor seal (Phoca vitulina) and striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba) morbillivirus epizootic victims to investigate uterine and lung MSF accumulation. Mean uterus concentrations of PCB MSFs and DDE MSF in harbor seals were 0.61 and 0.04 microg/g lipid weight and in striped dolphins 0.05 and 0.01 microg/g lipid weight. Mean lung concentrations of PCB MSFs and DDE MSF in harbor seals were 0.96 and 0.02 microg/g lipid weight and in striped dolphins 0.16 and 0.01 microg/g lipid weight. To ascertain whether uterine and lung bioaccumulation of MSFs is possible due to the presence of CCSP and UG in seals, CCSP and UG proteins in uterine flushings and in uterine and lung and epithelial tissue from Baltic gray and ringed seals were characterized using gel electrophoresis and Western blotting techniques. UG- and CCSP-like proteins with molecular weights of 16,000 Da were resolved in all samples. This is the first demonstration of this protein in any marine mammalian species. The toxicological implications of MSF binding with UG and CCSP in marine mammals are discussed.

What a difference a year makes. In 2013, Cannes was deluged by wave after wave of high-profile movie projects, very often from the U.S., very often only semi-packaged, semi-cast. Very often they didn't get sold.
Cut to a week out from this year's Cannes.
Cannes' common consensus this year is that, rather than too many projects, there may well be too few.
"One of the things that's been building for about a year now, but that is now really coming into focus for people, is that there is a genuine lack of content coming onto the markets," FilmNation's Glen Basner commented.
Ivan Boeing at Brazilian distributor Imagem agreed: "Unless we hear of 20 new big announcements in the next 10 days, it'll be very different Cannes to last year. No question about it," he said.
"I think the buyers were expecting Cannes to be very busy, with more activity. As of May 7, I'm not sure it'll be as busy as everyone hoped for," added Bill Johnson at Lotus Entertainment, which will be showing footage at Cannes of Tom Tywker's Tom Hanks starrer "A Hologram for the King."
But four or five fairly substantial titles look set to be announced by May 12.
There will be a clutch of must-see titles for mainstream buyers. Voltage, for instance, hits Cannes with Eli Roth's latest, erotic psycho-thriller "Knock, Knock," with Keanu Reeves.
Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult star in "Equals," a futuristic love story from Mister Smith, with Ridley Scott among producers. FilmNation will arrive in Cannes with an Amy Adams sci-fi thriller "Story of Your Life," from Denis Villeneuve. Mel Gibson will star in Jean-Francois Richet's action thriller "Blood Father" for Wild Bunch, which is presenting "Spring Breakers: The Second Coming" and Mark Osborne's animated feature "The Little Prince." Colin Firth co-stars in drone mission thriller "The Eye of the Sky"," from eOne Intl.
"What's missing are the big tentpole films," said Constantin's Martin Moszkowicz. "There's always room for one or two surprise pictures. But I don't think there's going to be a huge amount of big movies happening."
A trio of very large films indeed will of course be brought to Cannes by Lionsgate Intl.: Denis Villeneuve's Mexican drug lord hunt "Sicario," with Benicio del Toro and Emily Blunt; "The Last Face" starring Charlize Theron and Javier Bardem and directed by Sean Penn; and Juan Antonio Bayona's "A Monster Calls" with Liam Neeson on board to star.
To the frustration of big indie distributors in many territories, Lionsgate/Summit films are locked into output deals in very many places over the world.
So, six days out from Cannes, the market was shaping up sedately.
As at Berlin, many films coming onto the open market cut two ways: Cast-driven action thrillers and movies for older 40-plus auds.
Again, as at Berlin, the latter seem legion at Cannes. James Schamus, X Filme and Alison Thompson's Sunray are teaming on "Alone in Berlin," adapting Hans Fallada's anti-Nazi novel. FilmNation will start selling John Carney's musical drama "Sing Street," with U2's Bono and the Edge.
And there's more: EOne has taken international rights to the Bryan Cranston-starrer "Trumbo." James Franco will adapt Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury," with Franco and Seth Rogen, New Films Intl. selling. Atom Egoyan will direct Christopher Plummer in revenge thriller "Remember," from IM Global. Pathe is selling Paolo Sorrentino's "Youth," about two old friends nearing 80 but still with fire in their bellies. Michael Caine, Harvey Keitel and Rachel Weisz star.
"In many countries, like Germany, there is a very, very reliable audience segment, 40-50-and-above, that goes to see these kinds of movies," he added.
"Male-oriented, action-driven movies budgeted around the mid-twenties make distributors comfortable. They may often be going straight to video and there is some value in Asia and Latin America," said Moszkowicz.
The Cannes Market boasts some highly attractive genre movies: IM Global will be offering the Blumhouse-produced "Sinister 2," which looks set to sell strongly after "Sinister" grossed $77.7 million worldwide.
Hyde Park Intl. is touting "Eloise," a chiller set in a former insane asylum; XYZ has sci-fi drama "Parts Per Billion," with Rosario Dawson and Josh Hartnett and Millennium distributing Stateside; and Nicholas McCarthy's SXSW player "Home."
Companies are seeking to hit that sweet spot: A balance between security for buyers and originality for audiences.
"It's probably true in every creative industry. People want things they can market. They understand the audience. But at the same time, audiences are craving for original things," said Mister Smith's David Garrett.
The biggest talking point at this year's Cannes may well lie elsewhere, however.
Said Basner: "If there is one over-arching theme that we need to address in our market that is: How are we going to continue to bring a consistent supply of quality theatrical films to the market?"
Why there a lack - or at least an obvious plunge in the volume of significant product being brought on to the market - is another question.
The industry already had multiple answers a week before Cannes.
"Everybody is telling me the very same thing," said Imagem's Boeing. "It's difficult to package projects correctly. That's mostly a problem with getting the cast."
Said Mimi Steinbauer president of Radiant Films, "I think there's issues with getting cast confirmed. They're either going to TV which is such a draw now, or big-budget studio films." Radiant is introducing "The Driftless Area," an unconventional romance with Zooey Deschanel and Anton Yelchin, at the market.
"The vagaries of U.S. distribution performance are giving a lot of indie financiers food for thought, about the budget level and the kind of movies they're doing," said IM Global's Stuart Ford, who added, "The pool of bankable movie actors seems to be ever-shrinking. And the international business isn't completely compensating for those challenges here in Hollywood."
For Basner, "Five years ago, if you were working in feature film, whether as writer, director or actor, you just worked in feature film. So when you weren't working you were trying to get another movie made."
Not now. "Nowadays all types of creatives are working in many different mediums. They're not just sitting around and trying to create and get other movies made. That's having an impact on the number of quality films that we're seeing coming through," he said.
In a drive to guarantee a consistent supply of quality titles, select companies - FilmNation is one example - are increasingly taking over their own project development.
"We've spent a lot of energy this year procuring and developing internally, in order to have more control of our destiny." said Jim Seibel, Lotus co-chairman.
There are also multiple upsides to the lack of a product tsunami at this year's Cannes.
"In the same way as we've seen some out-and-out programmers struggle at the U.S. box office, they're having a tougher time internationally, and that generates a flight towards quality in the buyer mentality," Ford said, adding: "What we have is a less cluttered marketplace with better quality movies on the whole and that is healthy."

Evidence suggests that peer-assisted learning schemes on campus help students to establish social networks that can have a positive influence on their learning achievements. At USQ, the majority of students are off campus, which raises the urgent question: how to harness the advantages of PALS (Peer Assisted Learning Strategy) in an online environment? Given that the potential problem of social isolation is even more acute in distance education, how do we develop a PALS scheme online that creates a sense of community for its participants? These questions are explored by reflecting on a pilot program that was conducted during the first semester of 2006 in two different courses and made use of MSN Messenger to build collaboration amongst learners in a variety of geographical locations. This pilot program is evaluated through a survey with PALS leaders and participants, and also through comparisons with other such programs in different institutions.

This park was wonderful except for the WiFi service. Even being in the laundry room could not pick up this service, otherwise this park was clean, friendly and very well maintained. I would recommend anyone to stay there when traveling through Keokuk. - Angeleyez
Very nice person who took reservations and was very accommodating. Really liked the spot, it was level and the hookups were convenient. - napoleon1168
We stayed here two nights in November, so there was no water at our site due to below freezing temperatures, but everything else was working. Great showers and good wi-fi. Beautiful location among oak and hickory trees. The pull-through sites are a little too close together for larger rigs; most of the "pond-front" sites are back-ins. I took some time to drive down to the waterfront park in Keokuk, and enjoyed walking around the locks and steamboat museum. - Piscesman

We did not stay at this site, however we drove through and checked it out. It is right along the Mississippi just down the street from the stern wheel paddle boat. Some sites are gravel, some dirt, and some concrete. They have 20,30, and 50 amp hook ups, water that is shared between several sites and no sewer hook ups and I'm not sure where a dump station is. The site sits between the river and a RxR switching yard that can be pretty loud. There's a boat ramp here too. I only added this site because it wasn't mentioned in the reviews of the area at all and to give another option if you're in the area. Contact the City of Keokuk, Iowa for more details. - pumper9x9

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Rude Social Worker Accuses Homeschool Mom of Using Drugs
A single homeschool mom received an unexpected visit from a social worker who intimidated her way into the family's apartment, then insisted on speaking to both mother and daughter regarding an anonymous tip. The tipster claimed that the single mother was using drugs and thereby endangering her child.
The social worker was harsh and discourteous. After frightening both the mother and her daughter, the social worker promised to come back.
On August 16, the family received their second visit from the social worker, but this time they were prepared. The mother called attorney Chris Klicka at the Home School Legal Defense Association and asked him for advice. He counseled her not to let the social worker into the home. He then asked to speak to the social worker.
The mother handed the phone to the social worker so Klicka could explain the family's rights. At this point the social worker got very upset, loud, and belligerent. Reluctantly, the social worker finally left.
Klicka then sent a letter on behalf of the family to the social worker explaining that the mother had some minor medical issues for which she used drugs her doctor prescribed. These were not mind-altering drugs. In addition, Klicka had the mother send to the social worker various letters of references from those who knew her and could vouch for her innocence. He also had the mother provide to the social worker her doctor's contact information so that the social worker could verify that the mother was using drugs legally.
Klicka concluded the letter stating that the case should be closed, as more than enough evidence was provided to prove the family's innocence.
The social worker has not contacted the family or attorney Chris Klicka since.

Michael O'Leary, the boss of Ryanair – recently voted worst of 100 biggest brands by Which? readers – took to Twitter to answer questions from the public. After more than a decade of having the reputation of aviation's least likeable man, he recently admitted that his image, and that of his airline, may be a problem. Was this Twitter chat an attempt at kindling a more likeable front? Here's how the event unfolded.
Looks like this isn't the only thing he's going to be learning about Twitter today. Michael, you do not need to log Twitter followers:
And then attention turned to Ryanair's profile picture. O'Leary, has been known to host press conferences in bed with models and encouraged crew to strip for the Ryanair calendar:
Remember Ryainair's 'fat tax'? The airline has previously said it would impose an extra levy on passengers who weigh considerably more than average. An airline spokesperson stated that "these charges, if introduced, might also act as an incentive to some of our very large passengers to lose a little weight and hopefully feel a little lighter and healthier."
Michael told shareholders at Ryanair's annual meeting last month that the airline should try not to "unnecessarily piss people off". But it seems in his response to @aakritik he forgot to follow his own recommendations:

I just re-checked my yard and looked beyond my fences for possible problems.
PLEASE check your yards as well....and check over your fences.
It will take a fantastic "village" of DOers to beat this dangerous disease!!!
PLEASE report any dead birds or stagnant pools. It's just a phone call -- 771-6195 or www.ContraCostaMosquito.com.
I have cause and necessity to often be outside and often at dusk. As the WEST NILE VIRSUS plague is spreading across our CC county, my odds of getting it are increasing, so I'm VERY CONCERNED about this disease.

Stagnant pools? Check.
One of our neighbors on the street behind us let their pool go completely rancid over the last year. And we did indeed report them to Vector Control. Sadly its not clear how much enforcement authority they actually have, but the pool did seem to get drained so hopefully these idiots got the point.
I make it a habit to stay out of our neighbors business, but this is a very clear hazard and laziness is no excuse.
a resident of Danville
on Sep 23, 2011 at 9:17 pm
Fish may be a better solution than draining. Draining pools is OK, up to a point, but with the rainy season heading our way, fish are more liable to be self-sustaining.
Of course proper maintenance would be even better...
PS More along the lines of nature controlling nature - I heard a segment on the radio tonight about a local community where they were encouraging owls to control rats and gophers by mounting nesting boxes, which may be an attractive and ecologically sound solution if you back onto open space.

Watch: I'm a Daddy and I Know It
Check out this hilarious video parody of "I'm Sexy And I Know It," featuring a dad and his five cool kids.

Screenshot: I'm a Daddy and I Know It
Need a laugh to get your weekend off and rolling? Look no further than this cute video featuring a dad and his 5 (2 plus triplets!) kids singing along to their home spun parody of "I'm Sexy And I Know It."
How this man has the energy to move let alone shake his groove thing I will never know. But he pulls this off well with the help of his awsome kids. Something tells me the blooper reel for this one is just as funny as the finished film.
Kudos to you, DaddyCrazy5!

Simple Sideways Elegance
a sister to Poppea and Agrippina
written instructions for the chart are now included
- simple side-to-side shawlette
- any weight yarn can be used -- I finally found my perfect cobweb project with this pattern
- begin decreases when half-way through your skein/yarn (or before if it's long enough for you)
- easily (for some more easily than others!) memorised lacy border (knit along as you go)
- stockinette centre -- could be knit in garter stitch for complete reversibility
- perfect travel knitting -- takes no space, weighs nothing, no charts to keep track of (well, if you memorise the border, that is…)
techniques used:
- provisional Winding CO
- magic loop (or dpns) for the initial few rows -- it's an unusual beginning (illustrated and charted)
- a few kitchener stitches at the end
The fantastic screaming green silk-cashmere blend used in the sample seems to have the magic characteristic of not wrinkling no matter how scrunched up in a bag or purse. Magic.
There is Galathea KAL here.

class A extends Thread { private Object obj; public A(Object obj) { this.obj = obj; } public void run() { try { synchronized (obj) {obj.wait();} }catch (InterruptedException ie) {} System.out.print(Thread.currentThread().getName()); } } class B { private void m1() { for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { A t1 = new A(this); t1.setName(String.valueOf(i)); //t1.setDaemon(true); t1.start(); System.out.println("i ::"+i); } synchronized (this) { System.out.println("1"); notifyAll(); } } public static void main(String[] args) { new B().m1(); } }
In the above pgm (for all my pgm inmy JVM), first everything in the main thread is executing and then only new thread is executed and I am also aware of Thread Scheduler is not guaranteed..
What my question is in the main thread itself notifyall/notify will be executed. without wait is executed in the new thread, which causes the pgm not to terminate..right? In the above pgm, notifyall() will be executed first, then wait() is executing, but nothing to notify() the wait(), since notifyall() is executed already..and as i expected this causes pgm not to be terminated, but it prints some number..how it is possible?can anyone explain this?

i'm afraid of a compilation error.
inside the for loop, can you declare A t1 = new A(this)? that means t1 gets repeatly declared following the loop progress.
when move the declaration out of the for loop, i except the call flow as following,
main thread: new B().m1();
main thread: t1.start();
t1 threads 0-9: this.wait();
main thread: System.out.println("1");
main thread: this.notifyAll();
t1 threads 0-9: System.out.print(Thread.currentThread().getName());

The stupid question is the question not asked | |
PerlMonks |
Check for root under Cygwinby vsespb (Hermit) |
on Sep 02, 2013 at 09:57 UTC ( #1051914=perlquestion: print w/ replies, xml ) | Need Help?? |
vsespb has asked for the
wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I have unit tests, which check that my code properly handle "permission denied" errors and other IO errors.
My application works only under POSIX systems (i.e. not Win32), and I am thinking now about porting it to CygWin. Tests look like this (simplified version): and somefunc() looks like this: (that is a simplified version too - just for proof of concept) In the test you can see That's because otherwise test will fail under root. That check, however, is not working under Cygwin as expected. And I am wondering how that code could be fixed under cygwin? (note that I am aware of several file-system emulator modules, but I decided to stick with real filesystem, for now)

Workshop Update for February 12th, 2013
Finalizing chips to include in Bus Pirate education kit. Anyone know of a cheap serial ADC or DAC in through hole? We continued work on the illustrations for the above mentioned kit. 3D modeling and rendering, as well as breadboard illustrations will be available.
This entry was posted in Workshop Update and tagged Workshop Update.Comments
Microchip do cheap SPI ADCs and DACs with various degrees of accuracy and resolution.
TLC548 8 bit serial ADC, pretty oldskool, non-standard serial protocol (basically it's a shift register)
MCP3008/3004 10 bit ADC, I2C
TDA8444 Octal 6 bit ADC
PCF8591 8 bit ADC/DAC with I2CJan
Maxim MAX187 (12bit serial DAC in DIP8 pkg).
Maxim MAX188 (12bit serial ADC, 8 ch, in DIP20 pkg) -
MAX1243 : 10-bit SPI ADC @ 73ksps. 2.7-5.5 Volts
MAX1241 : 12-bit version of MAX1243MAX5354 : 10-bit SPI DAC.
MAX5352 : 12-bit SPI DAC.
TLV5616 : 12-bit SPI DAC (this one is really simple: just send the data with a shift register). -
Does anything speak against MCP4921/MCP4922?
THink about the cheap MCP4921 SPI DAC !
I would definitely second the vote for Microchip MCP series. Have personally used the MCP3203 before, very easy, accurate, cheap.

Technical Manager: Job Description, Requirements and Career Information
Learn about the education and preparation needed to become a technical manager. Get a quick view of the requirements as well as details about degree programs, job duties and necessary skills to find out if this is the career for you.
Essential Information
Technical managers, also known as computer and information systems (CIS) managers, are at the forefront of technology in an organization. They work with other departmental managers to ensure their team's technological developments align with the company's goals. These professionals typically must have a bachelor's degree in a field related to computer technology, though some employers may accept candidates with an associate's degree and similar work experience.
Required Education | Bachelor's degree in computer technology or similar field; associate's degree with previous experience may also be acceptable |
Other Requirements | Flexible schedule and strong communication skills |
Projected Job Growth (2012-2022)* | 15% for all computer and information systems managers |
Mean Salary (2013)* | $132,570 for all computer and information systems managers |
Source: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Technical Manager Job Description
Technical managers are integral to the overall development and success of their workplaces. These CIS managers create company software and ensure the safety of its networks. In addition to managing software and hardware installation and upgrades, technical managers create and maintain an organization's internal and external sites.
Long hours and strict deadlines are common for technical managers. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) notes that flexibility and communication may also be needed as managers must work within strict budgets and may encounter unforeseen technical problems (www.bls.gov). Technical managers may have to communicate remotely or with remote employees, according to the BLS.
Technical managers may also be tasked with the following:
- Provide support to users with computer or other technical difficulties
- Hire and train staff or help make hiring decisions
- Supervise information technology (IT) staff
- Consider project proposals and evaluate feasibility
- Generate ideas for improving technical products
Technical Manager Requirements
The BLS notes that while a graduate degree is preferable, most technical managers need only a bachelor's degree in a field based in computer technology. CIS managers may consider a four-year program with a major in management information systems (MIS) or computer or information science. However, some managers are able to obtain positions with an associate's degree and work experience, the BLS states, often continuing their education while on the job.
Continuing education can be found through a Master of Business Administration (MBA) with an emphasis in technology program that covers related coursework in areas such as marketing, administration, finance and database and systems management. The BLS also notes that additional expertise can be gained through experience or certification with specific products, which can also increase chances of employment.
Technical Manager Career Information
The BLS reported that technical managers accounted for approximately 319,080 jobs in 2013. Technical managers usually work as contractors for financial, government, and manufacturing institutions, among other large businesses and organizations. With growing IT departments, the need for technical managers is great, and BLS statistics project that CIS manager job openings will increase by 15% from 2012 to 2022. Compensation differs based on amount of responsibility and specialization. CIS managers earned an average yearly income of $132,570 as of May 2013, according to the BLS.
