Snowmaking Begins for 2013-14 Season
3765 view(s)
Publish Date
Loveland, CO
SAM Magazine—Denver, Oct. 1, 2013—Colorado resorts have begun snowmaking operations for the 2013-14 season. Loveland Basin cranked up its guns at 6 p.m. on Sept. 27, and Arapahoe Basin followed five hours later. Copper Mountain began early today.
This year's start was about a week ahead of last year. While warmer temperatures could limit operations for a few days, colder temperatures and some snowfall are forecast to return for Thursday and Friday this week. It typically takes two to three weeks for Loveland and Arapahoe to make enough snow to open for the season.
Copper's snowmaking efforts will initially be available only to the U.S. ski team, which will begin training on the U.S. Ski Team Speed Center as soon as conditions permit. Copper is slated to open to the public on Nov. 1.

Please join Microsoft and Neudesic for a day in the life of Scrum with Visual Studio Team System 2008 and Team Foundation Server! Agile methods are a set of development processes intended to create software in a lighter, faster, more people-centric way. Many development teams have adopted "agile" methodologies to manage change and to improve software quality. These methodologies promote continuous integration as a practice to build and test software products incrementally as new features are included, bugs are fixed, and code is re-factored.
If you missed the first series of Agile & Scrum Essentials last fall; here's your chance to attend the follow-on event where we'll briefly revisit the basics of Agile and Scrum and provide a walkthrough of how to configure Visual Studio Team System 2008 and Team Foundation Server for Scrum. Participants will be familiarized with how key artifacts are managed within this popular process template for enacting Scrum in organizations.
Join us for this interactive event as we explore a "day in the life of a Sprint," that will give you a practical perspective of how Scrum teams leverage Visual Studio Team System for end to end management of the planning, execution and control of Scrum projects. The day will end with an overview of what's coming in Visual Studio Team System 2010!

The i-SOBOT has a lot going for it. Character, personality, low price, 17 degrees of freedom, and some 'programmability' just to mention a few of its strong points.
Still, there are a lot of robot fans out there that desperately want to do even more with it. They want to take advantage of the basic i-SOBOT robot and expand it to do things its designers at TOMY never imagined.
But, to accomplish any serious hacking, first you have to figure out what's what inside the i-SOBOT's tiny body and brains....
We've already posted about Robert's project expanding the popular RoboDance software to control the i-SOBOT, and how it includes use of the Wii-Mote controller so that by waving your hands and arms the robot will respond.
It's a great application that we plan to write more about soon. But, it's all external and doesn't require any potentially warranty violating modifications to the robot itself. It still leaves the question of what magic and mysteries is the i-SOBOT hiding under it's covers?
One brave soul, apparently a devoted robot fan and hacker living either in France, or perhaps a French speaking location in Canada, decided to find out.
On his (her?) blog, they are slowly and painstakingly disassemblying and documenting all the i-SOBOT internals, mechanical, electrical, and software. They started off by observing:
"I received my first i-SOBOT yesterday and tried the various preprogrammed modes. It is really fun for the value, especially the special actions mode like dancing and doing exercises. Tomy and Takara engineers have done a great job and i-SOBOT is certainly a milestone in humanoid robots history."
Then go on to lay out their goals for the project:
"As a robotics enthusiast, I am much more interested in studying the hardware to use i-SOBOT as a low-cost humanoid platform with advanced robotics controller like Mobisense Systems MBS270, especially to add sensors and computer vision."
The follow-on posts include:
i-SOBOT Controller Overview - covers disassembly and includes two detailed and annotated photos that show all the major connectors and functionality.
i-SOBOT Controller Overview 2 - digs deeper into the i-SOBOT controller including servo connections, the on board gyro, and quite a few pin-outs.
Right-Arm Control - covers the servo signals and protocols
More About i-SOBOT Servo Protocol - Includes the i-SOBOT frames and protocols in quite a bit of detail.
Very exciting stuff. We can hardly wait to see what they post next.

Boston Beer Company's Special Samuel Adams Glass Half Empty?
Remember the "beergonomic" Samuel Adams glass designed to enhance the experience of drinking beer? (Yes, it's ribbed for his or her pleasure...) The uniquely shaped glass is making news again and not because it has revolutionized the act of drinking beer. Boston Beer Company, makers of Samuel Adams beers, has accused a craft brewery in Arizona of stealing their patented design.
Last year, SanTan Brewing Company in Chandler, Arizona, received a cease and desist letter requesting they stop using and selling a specially-designed beer glass that Boston Beer Company believes closely resembles their own. The Massachusetts brewery thinks SanTan's design is too similar to their patented glass, which they worked with sensory specialists at Tiax Laboratories for several years to create as the perfect vessel for Samuel Adams Boston Lager.
SanTan owner Anthony Canecchia claims the similarities are coincidental and argues that his glasses are blown by hand while the Samuel Adams glasses are machine manufactured, ABC 15 Arizona reports. Boston Beer Company filed a complaint with the International Trade Commission last month. The agency will decide to investigate the claim or not and then make a final decision.
Check out the video below and tell us what you think. Any body language experts out who can speculate about whether the similarities are "coincidental" or not?

Wait, You Mean Republicans Aren't Totally Evil On Global Warming?
Chris Mooney | October 10, 2007
By Chris Mooney • Wednesday, October 10, 2007 - 14:39
I have a confession to make. In a weird sort of way, I actually find it kind of fun to whale on various U.S. Republicans–like James "Flat-Earth-Doesn't-Only-Refer- to-Oklahoma" Inhofe–for their out-of-touch stances on global warming.
But in truth, as I recently surveyed the various presidential candidates' stances on global warming–helpfully compiled here–I actually found considerable grounds for optimism.
Even when it came to the Republicans…no, especially when it came to the Republicans.

The last couple of weeks have seen tremendous developments regarding the country's decades-old terrorism and Kurdish issues.
In a much-applauded move, the government has revived its peace talks with terrorist Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) leader Abdullah Öcalan. However, soon after the talks began, terrorist attacks brought into question whether there are some wings within the terrorist group that want to sabotage the peace efforts -- the latest one being in Paris, where three Kurdish women were killed on Jan. 9.
The killings in Paris once again showed how challenging and complicated process is we are going through and that the PKK has intricate ties with many states, Star's Sedat Laçiner writes. The PKK is not just about the Kurdish issue and Kurdish nationalism, and it is also not just a separatist terrorist organization. The PKK has many intertwined operations in various fields from drug trafficking and smuggling to politics and foreign intelligence agencies. Those who benefit from these operations will surely resist the peace efforts.
On the other hand, the state is having difficulty in finding the right time, or rather a peaceful time, to prove its sincerity in solving the Kurdish issue with reforms for Kurds. There are many reforms the state has in mind, but terrorism has to end before taking solid steps towards them, the columnist says. The state's ultimate aim is not to destroy the terrorist group altogether -- as we have realized through past experience that the more terrorists are killed, the more terrorist acts increase. Instead, the state aims to persuade terrorists to give up terrorism.
In this sense, the first aim of the peace talks is to get the PKK to move outside of Turkey. This way, the government will buy time to earn the respect and confidence of the Kurds with cultural, economic, political and social reforms. The plan seems reasonable and feasible on paper, Laçiner says. However, the "beneficiaries of the PKK operations" mentioned above persistently continue trying to derail this plan as they are worried the PKK will be disbanded once it is drawn out of Turkey and that it will be impossible to form a new organization similar to it. Laçiner says this is why optimism is good, but optimism without realism will only end up deceiving us.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan recently said he guarantees that no military operation will be put into action against the terrorists when they move their camps outside Turkey. In response, a senior PKK chief, Murat Karayılan, said: "This is our country. It is you who came later. You are the occupying force in this country. And so it is you that should leave."
In line with Laçiner's call for caution, Fikret Bila from Milliyet says it is difficult to expect much from the peace talks in light of Karayılan's remarks. It is more important now that the PKK commanders in Kandil reach an agreement with Öcalan than the state reaching a reconciliation with Öcalan, he underlines.

Momma Look Sharp Song Lyrics
Momma, hey momma, come lookin' for me
I'm here in the meadow by the red maple tree
Momma, hey momma, look sharp, here I be
Hey, hey, momma look sharp
Them soldiers, they fired. Oh ma, did we run
But then we turned round and the battle begun
Then I went under, oh ma, am I done?
Hey, hey, momma look sharp
My eyes are wide open, my face to the sky
Is that you I'm hearin' in the tall grass nearby?
Momma come find me before I do die
Hey, hey, momma look sharp
I'll close your eyes, my Billy
Them eyes that cannot see
And I'll bury you, my Billy
Beneath the maple tree
And never again will you whisper to me
Hey, hey, momma look sharp

American Made Since 2006
Amy Baxter
Atlanta, Georgia
Buzzy® is a clinically proven palm-sized device combining vibration and cold to naturally dull or eliminate sharp pain.
Design, Technology
Tell us about your business.MMJ Labs (DBA buzzy4shots.com) creates and researches personal pain products for fast needle and procedural pain relief. Having a child with a horrific needle experience, Dr Amy Baxter invented Buzzy®, May 1, 2009 thinking it would change the world of vaccinations for children. Not only has it helped vaccinations, but daily injections for children and adults alike.Thanks to working with Formation Design, our all-woman company has developed, manufactured and sold over 26,000 units online via word of mouth. New uses are discovered daily; electrolysis, in vitro fertilization, eczema and arthritis injections to name a few. We are introducing a new smaller version and are revamping the website and project management software. Buzzy® is quickly changing the face of vaccinations worldwide, reaching people in countries that desperately need disease relief. We plan to leverage testimonials and hospital credibility to entice chain drugstore clinic pharmacists to use Buzzy for flu shots.
What makes your business stand out?There is simply no other solution that provides pain relief on contact. The closest prescription solution, cold spray, went head to head with Buzzy in our first pediatric trial published December 2009. At $0.09 per needle stick, Buzzy decreased pain by half, and increased IV success three times compared to $0.50 cold spray. Independent investigators have been so taken by Buzzy that trials for IV access pain comparing Buzzy to $6 and $12/stick solutions are underway and going well. Given our mission of reusable, inexpensive products for personal pain control, we avoided VC investment that insisted on disposable, higher-end hospital products. Instead, tackling consumer introduction ourselves, we have bootstrapped development. Scientific SBIR NIH funding established critical medical acceptance, while PR, Web, sales and tradeshows we've done ourselves. With this strategy, our revenues have averaged 243k yearly and we surpassed that to 254k by June 2013.
What's the best business advice you've received?Only you can decide what kind of culture you will create and how you want your business to grow. Expect the arc of the business to last between 7 and 9 years from creation to sustainable. If you can't commit to that, don't start.

Pétanque, popular in France, involves throwing metal balls (known as boules) as close as possible to a small wooden ball (jack or "cochonnet"). While throwing a boule, a player must keep his or her two feet on the ground and within a starting circle drawn on the ground.
Organizers say rules can be mastered in five minutes or less, and the club has extra boules to lend.

"Even if you don't play, coming for lunch, a little wine and watching the finals could be very fun to do," says Michelle Martin, president of the Edmonds Pétanque Club. "Watching the expert players in the finals is always exciting and also a great opportunity to discover that sport."
Registration costs $10 per player, and you must register by Friday. The event, also hosted by the Seattle Pétanque Club, will be at the Edmonds Civic Playfield, near the corner of Sixth Avenue and Bell Street.

Works pretty well
posted 6 years ago
We bought this for my daughter's cat, Spot, for Christmas.
(It does trap the litter but you will always have some tracking from what's left in their paws.)
Spot seemed almost afraid to get in and out of the litter box. And would literally jump acrossed it. The only thing we could think is that he did not like the feel of it.
After about a month, my daughter decided to remove it for fear that Spot was going to hurt himself trying to jump over it.
Can't really blame the product. Each cat is different and likes different things. It's just not to Spot's liking!
Pros: Traps a lot of the litter
Cons: Spot didn't like the feel of it

Unique and dream like this design has a surreal feel to it. The nature frames a shot of tall buildings and a woman's face appears. Is this the aftermath of an apocalypse or an abstract piece suggesting more? One this for sure is that it's a cool piece of art.

I don't care if Justin Bieber devotes the remainder of his life to sweeping up leper skin in Calcutta, dudes who insist on being topless will never be saints, just douchebags. I'm talking to you, jogger for whom a t-shirt was adversely affecting your time around the block. Bieber celebrated his 21st birthday by doing what he did for his last five birthdays, taking selfies of himself getting wasted with chicks with big fake asses and banging at least one of the Baldwin daughters. I'm not jealous, I'm only mostly jealous. Fuck, what I could do with all that power and my shirt still on.

The latest cold blast is likely to add to the murky economic picture, which is already making it difficult for stocks to advance.

Double blues guitar magic at Warner
It's a night of blues Friday at 7:30 p.m. when two of the greatest blues guitarists today, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Robert Cray, join forces on the main stage of the Warner Theatre in Torrington.
Few artists are synonymous with one instrument and how it's played in service to an entire genre. The name Kenny Wayne Shepherd has become linked with the phrase "young blues guitarist."
Listed by Guitar World among the ranks of B.B. King and Eric Clapton, there's no question Shepherd has the chops to go down in history as one of the greatest guitarists of all times. Still barely in his 30s, Shepherd has been selling millions of albums, throwing singles into the Top 10, shining a light on the rich blues of the past and forging ahead with his own modern twist on a classic sound he has embodied since his teens.
Blues Hall of Famer Robert Cray of the Robert Cray Band has been a blues mainstay since the early 1980s. The five-time Grammy winner has been internationally admired as a stylist whose innovations have brought new life to the blues. While few blues artists have achieved as much crossover success as Cray, such punchy outings as "Chicken in the Kitchen" and "That's What Keeps Me Rockin'" should satisfy the most demanding blues fans.
Tickets are $38, $48, $78 and can be purchased by calling the box office at 860-489-7180 or by visiting

On October 20, a representative of YG Entertainment announced that the winners of SBS' "K-Pop Star Season 2" sibling duo, Akdong Musician (Lee Chna Hyuk, Lee Soo Hyun), will be donating their talent for Lou Gehrig's disease.

Akdong Musician is scheduled to perform a number of songs including "Ramyun" and "I Love You."
The profit from ticket sales will be donated to the fund for building a convalescent hospital for Lou Gehirig's disease.

At the still point of the turning world (from The Four Quartets)by T. S. Eliot
Original Language English
At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless;
Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is,
But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity,
Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor towards,
Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.

Every month, we'll cover a different aspect of using your computer as a tool to help you in the cel animation process...
Quick! Name the first three examples of computers used in animation that you can think of! I'll bet you came up something like ReBoot, Toy Story, and maybe the wildebeest stampede from The Lion King.
You wouldn't be wrong to think of those, or something else from the 3D computer animation realm. But computers are making significant inroads into the realm of 2D animation production. As you probably already know, most feature animated films made in this decade have been inked, painted, and composited with a little help from our digital friends. Theyve also helped with effects, camera moves, multiplane effects, and more. Even people who dont follow the animation scene all that closely are vaguely aware that cel animation is often done with computers.
And yet when many animatorsbe they professionals, students, or neophytes who want to learn the craftthink of creating cel animation on their own, theyre often unaware of how computers can help them. Of course, there is some validity to this line of thinking; the systems that the big studios use are generally comprised of expensive software running on expensive hardware, well out of the price range of most individuals. However, there are lower-cost alternatives. Using off-the-shelf software and hardware, anyone can make use of digital tools for some or all of the animation process; your limits are largely defined by what you can afford or have access to.
Finding those limits is where this column comes in. Every month, I'll cover a different aspect of using your computer as a tool to help you in the animation process. Most of the time, this will mean looking at how to do some or all of the steps of traditional cel animation techniques using the box on your desk. In some other cases, we won't be going near actual animation at all, instead dealing with the other tasks related to animation: organizational methods, practical considerations for computer hardware and software, and so on.
Think of this column as more of a workshop, where I'll be presenting a wide variety of information, from which you can pick and choose as you please. And, like any good workshop, I'd like for this to be less of a sermon and more of a dialogue. If you've got a question, comment, or suggestion, by all means let me know.
There are a few things you'll need to have before we can start on our merry way.
1. A computer. Note that I didn't say what kind. Although most of my examples will be from a Windows 98 viewpoint, thats only because I have a PC on my desk. It shouldnt matter, though: this series of columns is all about general principles, which should carry over onto just about any platform. Just to offer some perspective: Im still a huge Amiga fan, and until recently I used to shuttle images back and forth between my venerable Amiga 3000 and my PC, using the tools that best suited my needs. In fact, if you have the opportunity to use two different kinds of computers, do so. Youll find your toolbox can expand significantly.
By the same token, I'm going to try to cover related gadgets and software as generically as possible. Ill actually be using products such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere, or a Sony Digital Mavica, but again this is largely based on convenience. You might just as easily use a different product, depending on the particular feature I'm explaining. The important thing is the principle.
2. Hard disk space. And lots of it. Just as a single frame in an animated film is made up of many cels, one final digital image might be made up of several images. Also, consider that each frame probably had a rough image, an inked image, a colored image, and so on. Oh, and lets not forget those animation tests.You should really set aside about one gigabyte of free hard disk space, if you can spare it. If you have removable storagea Zip or Jaz drive, for examplethats even better: you can easily offload files you dont need to work on directly.
3. Memory. As much as you can spare. Youre working with graphics, and lots of them. Nuff said.
4. An animation disc, or at least a pegbar. Yes, I know this is a column about creating cel animation digitally. But the drawings themselves are still done the old-fashioned way. (If youre one of the few who can draw directly on screen with a mouse or graphics tablet, I salute you. Youre also exempt from this requirement.)
Next time around, well start by creating an exposure sheet using your favorite spreadsheet program. After all, as flexible as computers are, nothing beats good planning. See you next time.

Locotik Guide by ZombiDJWatch
©2013-2016 ZombiDJ
My very first propper guide/reference about Locotiks.
I've gotten alot of questions about my species so I decided
to do a guide about them to answer them all in one go.
I probably missed some things but these are atleast the
most major things. Enjoy!

Locotiks belongs to ZombiDJ ONLY
Easily one of the cutest species I've come across, super cool designs honestly!
is there any way to be able to get a locotik?
May I ask how Locotiks is pronounced? I've never really been sure.
very informational but i will no use any of this information i have a bit of short term memory loss
So, genetically, since they're both Mammal and Reptilian, would they be descended of the Synapsids (Mammal-like Reptiles.)?
well never thought of it but they could maybe be?
still they're a made up species and I haven't yet decided if they should be on earth or their own planet or dimention maybe
still they're a made up species and I haven't yet decided if they should be on earth or their own planet or dimention maybe
Wish I seen this earlier now haha
Can I at least draw one for fun? Just a Random Locotik.
sure thing as long as you include my name and such
I know they are a closed species, but can I at least draw some? I won't post them or anything, I just really want to draw them
I wish this wasn't a closed species, I really wanna make one
So, I've got one back from when you gave me permission, and I was just wondering something about them. If they're all hermaphrodites, would they still be called by specific gender pronouns and whatnot, or would it be more appropriate to refer to one as a neutral "they"? (I'm sorry if its a weird question, I was just curious if calling mine a "he" or "she" went against the species somehow. I've never been good with this stuff.)
wow i've never actually though of that. but I guess it all depends on what their parents decided to call them from birth. it guess it can all depend on what the young look like and what patterns and colors they have. I like to keep this rather open and there isn't any rule to why or what they are called.
Alrightie! I just didn't wanna seem like I was ignoring the species fact by referring to mine as a gender but it also seemed strange to just call it an "it" all the time (though, I love having androgynous characters and never actually going into whether they're male or female).
And one more question, hope I'm not bothering you- would they bristle when angry? I was drawing mine with some angry expressions and bristled fur, and was wondering if it was correct.
And one more question, hope I'm not bothering you- would they bristle when angry? I was drawing mine with some angry expressions and bristled fur, and was wondering if it was correct.
so i can make my own Locotik oc?
sorry but the species is closed, says in the description
Its a shame you had to close the species. Im having a hard time to think of dome of my own designs but i cant think of anything. I need some advice or tips
Try practicing by mixing species into one, just pick random ones like for an example guiraff/pelican. You can add mythical creatures as well just have fun
Love this +Fav
Would there be any way you would let use this species as my fursona? I've been trying for years to get mine right and this is just what I've been trying to accomplish. It's just so perfect. I would make sure to credit you for the species and draw it regularly. I know this doesn't mean much but I've been through so many different designs it seemed hopeless. This one is perfect. I'm sorry for bothering you I just thought I'd ask.
I appriciate that you like it but I've closed the species since there was so much issues I had with it in the past. So it's unfortunately not open for people to use. If you need help in designing a character read alot of comics, play games and just browse around for ideas! Pizzle together bits you like, favourit animals and so on. Good luck!
I've done that before and it ended badly. My friend always thinks it's too similar to hers. Could I possibly use this species but not post the results? I just love them so much. Or if I can't do that may I ask permission to maybe use it loosely to base her? I wouldn't make her too close and she wouldn't be a locotik.
Well you just gotta know when not to borrow too much from people, you can be influenced, there's nothing wrong with that but try to add some of your own flavour to the art. That's what makes character creation so much fun. I suggest you atleast try and practice a bit, you'll be surprised over how much you can come up with when you get into the creative mood.
crap.... I just got the memo on the lock down.. well better delete my Necromorph Locotik xD
So, can i create a locotik and give credit to you for the creation of this?
sorry my locotiks are a closed species now as i've written in the comment under. the guide started off as a guide just to show off my species, then people went and made their own for a while and i allowed it. When too many fan ones started popping up and some even got stolen I decided to close it.
Hey, on my old account I was given permission to post my locotik (giving credit to you of course), can I still continue?
Hello my name is Amber i'm WB-Masi's(Allison's) little sister and I was wanting to know that you would let me draw a Locotik and post it on here?
First off thank you for checking out my art! Unfortunately my locotiks are now a closed species due to reasons, hope you understand!
It says they mostly eat berries but their teeth look that of a carnivore.
yeah they are evolved omnivores actually but preffer greens over meat
most Locotiks are peaceful.
Can i make my own locotik I'll give you credit for the original design
Sorry i had the species open before but it's closed now due to reasons. Hope you understand!
Oh my god these guys are too adorable! favedfavedfaved.
I had asked you a while back if I could make a Locotik (before they became an ultra closed species) and I was wondering if it would be okay if I had posted mine. I wanted to make sure I did have permission to post it before I did so, I hope you don't mind me asking

United States, Department of the Air Force, Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas (Activity) and American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO (Petitioner)
[ v59 p739 ]
59 FLRA No. 133
March 10, 2004
Before the Authority: Dale Cabaniss, Chairman, and
Carol Waller Pope and Tony Armendariz, Members
I. Statement of the Case
This case is before the Authority on an application for review filed by the Activity under § 2422.31 of the Authority's Regulations. The Activity seeks review of the Regional Director's (RD) Decision and Order and Direction of Election, in which the RD found the Petitioner's proposed unit appropriate and ordered an election. No opposition to the application was filed.
For the reasons set forth below, we conclude that the Activity has failed to establish that review of the RD's decision is warranted. Accordingly, we deny the application for review.
II. Background and RD's Decision
The Petitioner filed a representation petition seeking an election to represent all non-appropriated fund (NAF), non-supervisory employees of the Activity's Services Division. At the hearing, the Activity contended that the Services Division employees should be split into three separate bargaining units for representational purposes, rather than the single bargaining unit sought by the Petitioner.
In considering the appropriateness of the Petitioner's proposed unit, the RD set out the standard contained in § 7112(a) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute). [n1] The RD explained that "[i]n order for a unit to be considered appropriate, all three criteria -- community of interest, effective dealings, and efficiency of agency operations --must be met." RD's Decision at 24. The RD further explained that "[t]he Statute does not, however, require that the proposed unit be the only appropriate unit or the most appropriate unit." Id.
Turning to the first criterion, the RD concluded that the employees included in the Petitioner's proposed unit share a community of interest. Specifically, the RD found that the affected employees are "subject to the same chain of command" and health and personnel policies and that they all "support the same . . . mission[.]" Id. at 26. The RD further found that the employees are geographically co-located and share such things as parking, child care services, and eating and entertainment facilities. According to the RD, these factors outweigh the facts that there is "a small degree of interchange between NAF employees in the performance of their duties" and that "a number of working conditions do not match up across the board[.]" Id.
With respect to the second criterion, the RD found "no evidence on which to find that the petitioned-for unit would impede effective dealings with the Activity." Id. at 27. In this regard, the RD found that NAF employees' personnel files are co-located and that NAF employees are serviced by the same human resources and payroll offices. According to the RD, "the record established that no lines of authority had been established for carrying out labor relations with the petitioned-for unit[.]" Id. at 27. Therefore, she concluded that the proposed unit would promote effective dealings.
As to the third criterion, the RD found that the proposed unit would promote efficiency of the Activity's operations. In this connection, the RD found "no reason why the Activity would need to establish any new organizational structures to accomplish labor relations." Id. In addition, she found that the proposed unit would "eliminate the possibility of fragmenting into separate units a group of employees that share a strong community of interest." Id. Accordingly, she concluded that the proposed unit would promote efficiency of the Activity's operation.
Rejecting the Activity's argument to the contrary, the RD determined that flexible, probationary, and temporary [ v59 p740 ] employees with reasonable expectations of continued employment of more than 90 days should be included in the unit. [n2] According to the RD, regular and flexible employees have different entitlements to benefits and only regular employees are guaranteed a minimum number of hours of work. Nevertheless, she found that "these facts do not negate the overwhelming community of interest shared by the regular and flexible employees alike, or management's ability to deal with both categories of employees as a single group." Id. at 29. The RD also found that flexible, probationary, and temporary employees have a reasonable expectation of continued employment. Consequently, the RD concluded that these employees share a community of interest with regular employees and that including them in the unit would promote effective dealings and efficiency of Activity's operations. Id.
Based on the foregoing, the RD concluded that the Petitioner's proposed unit was an appropriate unit and that it should include flexible, probationary, and temporary employees who have reasonable expectations of continued employment of more than 90 days. The RD ordered an election.
III. The Activity's Application for Review
The Activity disputes the RD's representation determination on three grounds.
First, the Activity argues that the Services Division would more appropriately be divided into three units that correspond to its three sections: the Family Member Program, the Business Operations Unit, and the Lodging Operations Unit. It claims that these units have distinct missions and perform "three entirely different functions." Application for Review at 52-53. In particular, the Activity asserts that there is "virtually no commingling among the employees of the three organizations." Id. at 74. According to the Activity, employees in the Family Member Program are required to have "more education, more training, and more background checks[,]" id. at 54, as distinguished from the Business and Lodging Operations, which have a goal of making a profit. See id. at 61, 72. The Activity also asserts that the three units are governed by different rules and regulations. See, e.g., id. at 56, 67, 72. To support its claim that three separate units are appropriate, the Activity cites several Authority decisions in which it claims the Authority has found units appropriate that were composed of "numerous occupational groups" such as "firefighters, security officers, air traffic controllers, nurses and professionals." Id. at 46.
Second, the Activity argues that "the unit proposed by the Petitioner would not constitute an appropriate unit" because "the Services Division is made up of three distinct functional groups of employees." Id. at 80. In this regard, the Activity argues that "[t]here is no integration as a general rule among the three organizations." Id. at 82. According to the Activity, with a single unit, "it would be impossible" to bargain over matters such as uniforms or dress codes, hours of work, duty assignments, overtime callback procedures, and training requirements. See id. at 80. The Activity also argues that managers may become confused about which contract provisions apply to which employees. Based on these arguments, the Activity disputes the RD's conclusions that the employees included in the petition share a community of interest and that including them in a bargaining unit would promote effective dealings and efficiency of the Activity's operations.
Finally, the Activity argues that flexible employees should be excluded from the proposed unit because they do not work a regular schedule, see id. at 75, and because they have little or no career opportunity. See id. at 14. The Activity also argues that probationary employees should be excluded because "they are subject to removal at any given time basically at the convenience of the organization." Id. at 78. According to the Activity, "it is illegal for probationary employees to be covered by a collective bargaining agreement that covers the separation of probationary employees." Id. at 83-84 (citing NTEU v. FLRA, 848 F.2d 1273 (D.C. Cir. 1988)).
IV. Analysis and Conclusions
The Activity does not specifically rely on any of the grounds for review that are set forth in § 2422.31(c) of the Authority's Regulations. [n3] However, the Activity challenges the RD's legal conclusion that the proposed unit is appropriate under § 7112(a) of the Statute. We, therefore, construe the Activity's application as raising a claim that the RD failed to apply established law. [ v59 p741 ]
A. The RD Did Not Fail To Apply Established Law by Concluding that the Petitioner's Proposed Unit Is Appropriate Under § 7112(a) of the Statute
In determining whether a petitioned-for unit is appropriate under § 7112(a) of the Statute, the Authority considers whether the unit would: (1) ensure a clear and identifiable community of interest among employees in the unit; (2) promote effective dealings with the agency involved; and (3) promote efficiency of the operations of the agency involved. See, e.g., Defense Mapping Agency, Aerospace Ctr., St. Louis, Mo., 46 FLRA 502, 509 (1992). A proposed unit must meet all three appropriate unit criteria in order to be found appropriate. See Dep't of the Interior, Nat'l Park Serv., Lake Mead Nat'l Recreation Area, Boulder City, Nev., 57 FLRA 582, 584 (2001). Determinations as to each of these three criteria are made on a case-by-case basis. See United States Dep't of the Navy, Fleet and Indus. Supply Ctr., Norfolk, Va., 52 FLRA 950, 960 (1997) (FISC). The Authority has set out factors for assessing each criterion, but has not specified the weight of individual factors or a particular number of factors necessary to establish an appropriate unit. See AFGE, Local 2004, 47 FLRA 969, 972 (1993) (Local 2004).
The Activity's initial objection to the RD's decision is that three separate units would be more appropriate than the unit the Petitioner seeks and the RD found to be appropriate. However, as the RD explained, the relevant determination in this case is "the appropriateness of the unit sought by the Petitioner." RD's Decision at 2. In this regard, the Authority's precedent holds that a proposed unit need not be the "most appropriate" or the "only appropriate" unit in order to be an appropriate unit under the Statute. Local 2004, 47 FLRA at 973. Consequently, the Activity's insistence that "three units would be more effective" than one does not provide a basis for concluding that the Petitioner's proposed unit is not appropriate or for overturning the RD's decision. Application for Review at 79.
In addition to its claim that three units would be more appropriate, the Activity objects to the RD's decision that the proposed unit is appropriate. As fully explained below, we conclude that the RD did not fail to apply established law in concluding that the proposed unit is appropriate.
1. Community of Interest
In order to determine whether employees share a clear and identifiable community of interest, the Authority examines such factors as whether the employees in the proposed unit are a part of the same organizational component of the agency; support the same mission; are subject to the same chain of command; have similar or related duties, job titles and work assignments; are subject to the same general working conditions; and are governed by the same personnel and labor relations policies that are administered by the same personnel office. See United States Dep't of the Air Force, Air Force Materiel Command, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, 47 FLRA 602 (1993). In addition, factors such as geographic proximity, unique conditions of employment, distinct local concerns, degree of interchange between other organizational components, and functional or operational separation may be relevant. See FISC, 52 FLRA at 960-61 and cases cited therein.
Here, the RD found only a small degree of interchange between the affected employees in the performance of their duties, and she found some variance in the employees' working conditions. However, the RD found that the affected employees are subject to the same chain of command and health and personnel policies, and that they share parking, child care services, and eating and entertainment facilities. The RD also found that the affected employees support the same mission and are geographically co-located. These findings support the RD's conclusion that the affected employees share a community of interest, consistent with the Authority's precedent. See, e.g., United States Securities and Exchange Comm'n, Wash., D.C., 56 FLRA 312, 316 (2000) (finding consolidated nation-wide unit appropriate where RD found that all employees support same mission and are subject to same personnel policies).
The Activity disputes this finding, arguing that there is virtually no commingling among the affected employees and that the Services Division consists of three distinct groups of employees that perform different [ v59 p742 ] duties. The Activity relies on Authority precedent finding appropriate units structured around a functional grouping of employees who possess characteristics and concerns limited to that group to support its argument. See, e.g., Dep't of the Navy, Naval Station, Norfolk, Va., 14 FLRA 702, 704 (1984) (Naval Station). However, the Activity's reliance on this precedent is misplaced because the Authority has never held that appropriate units must include only employees who share functions or occupations. Indeed, in Naval Station, where the Authority held that a unit of firefighters was appropriate under § 7112(a) of the Statute, the Authority also held that these same firefighters "may appropriately be included in the comprehensive, Activity-wide unit . . . ." Id.
As explained above, the RD considered the level of interaction among the employees and the varying duties performed by them. Nevertheless, she found that these considerations were outweighed by other factors, such as the employees' shared location, mission, and chain of command. The RD was not bound to weigh any one factor more heavily than another, see Local 2004, 47 FLRA at 972, and the Activity does not dispute the RD's findings regarding the other factors. Consequently, the Activity has not provided a basis to conclude that the RD erred in her conclusion that the affected employees share a community of interest.
2. Effective Dealings
The effective dealings criterion pertains to the relationship between management and the exclusive representative selected by the proposed unit. See FISC, 52 FLRA at 961. The factors bearing on this criterion include: the past collective bargaining experience of the parties; the locus and scope of authority of the personnel administering personnel policies covering employees in the proposed unit; the limitations, if any, on the negotiation of matters of critical concern to employees in the proposed unit; and the level at which labor relations policy is set in the agency. Id.
The RD found that the affected employees' personnel files are jointly located and that the employees are all serviced by the same human resources and payroll offices. She also found that there are no established lines of authority to conduct labor relations. The Activity does not dispute these findings. Indeed, the Activity agrees that there is "no pattern or history of a unit as proposed by the Petitioner for labor relations at Lackland AFB." Application for Review at 84. Nevertheless, the Activity insists that it would be "impossible" for the parties to bargain over certain matters, such as training and uniforms. The Activity has not provided any evidence or support for this contention. Moreover, the RD specifically found that "[n]o evidence was offered to show that employees would not be able to negotiate with the same officials who exercise authority over personnel decisions." RD's Decision at 27. Consequently, we conclude that the Activity's arguments do not demonstrate that the RD erred in finding that the proposed unit would promote effective dealings.
3. Efficiency of Operations
The efficiency of operations criterion pertains to whether the structure of the bargaining unit bears a rational relationship to the operational and organizational structure of the agency. See Miss. Army Nat'l Guard, Jackson, Miss., 57 FLRA 337, 342 (2001). The RD found "no reason why the Activity would need to establish any new organizational structures to accomplish labor relations" and the Activity does not provide any such reasons. RD's Decision at 27. In addition, although the Activity insists that three units would be "more effective" than one, it does not make any claims that its operations would be impaired if there was only one bargaining unit. Application for Review at 79. Consequently, the Activity has not demonstrated that the RD erred in finding that the proposed unit would not impede the efficiency of operations.
B. The RD Did Not Fail To Apply Established Law by Including Flexible, Probationary, and Temporary Employees In the Appropriate Unit
The Authority has found that various classes of employees, other than regular or permanent employees, may be included in bargaining units with regular or permanent employees, so long as they share a community of interest with the regular or permanent employees. See, e.g., United States Dep't of the Treasury, United States Mint, 32 FLRA 508 (1988) (including certain temporary employees in the bargaining unit); see also United States Dep't of Commerce, Nat'l Oceanic and Atmospheric Admin., Nat'l Marine Fisheries Serv., N.E. Region, 24 FLRA 922 (1986) (temporary intermittent observers with 1-year appointments extendable by 3 years included in bargaining unit with permanent part-time observers). When determining whether such employees share a community of interest with permanent employees, the Authority considers whether the employees have a reasonable expectation of continued employment. See United States Army Eng. Activity, Capital Area, Fort Myer, Va., 34 FLRA 38, 42 (1989). The Authority also will consider other factors. For example, the Authority has found that temporary employees who (1) held 6-month appointments which could be renewed; (2) shared the same general supervision, [ v59 p743 ] work schedules, office conditions and common working environment with other bargaining unit employees; (3) had regular and frequent contacts with other unit employees; and (4) performed substantially the same duties as other permanent unit employees, had a clear and identifiable community of interest with the other employees in the unit and that their inclusion in the unit would promote effective dealing with, and efficiency of the operations of, the activity. See United States Small Business Admin., Lower Rio Grande Valley Dist. Office, 16 FLRA 180, 181 (1984).
In concluding that flexible, probationary, and temporary employees are included in the appropriate unit, the RD found that these employees have the same conditions of employment, services, and requirements as regular employees. In addition, the RD explained that "[e]mployees who have a reasonable expectation of continued employment beyond a defined, brief period (such as 90 days), are routinely found to be appropriately included in bargaining units with other similarly situated employees." RD's Decision at 29 (citing United States Dep't of the Air Force, 90th Missile Wing (SAC), F.E. Warren Air Force Base, cheyenne, Wyo., 48 FLRA 650 (1993)). The RD, found that the flexible and probationary employees at issue have reasonable expectations of employment of more than 90 days, and that they, along with the temporary employees who have a reasonable expectation of employment of more than 90 days, share a community of interest with regular employees. Moreover, according to the RD, including flexible, probationary, and temporary employees in the bargaining unit would promote effective dealings and efficiency of agency operations. The RD's findings are consistent with longstanding Authority precedent finding it appropriate to include various non-regular employees in bargaining units with regular employees.

Article: The Calumet Area Ecological Management Strategy: Measuring the Non-Market Economic Benefits[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This research estimates the recreational value of single-day visits to two nature centers within Metropolitan Chicago. The motivation for this research is the proposed Ford Calumet Environmental Center in the City's Calumet region -- a public investment on the order of $10 million. To provide an estimate of the possible public benefits accruing from this public investment and to assist in prioritizing the restoration of natural areas in the Calumet, individuals visiting the North Park Village Nature Center and the Sand Ridge Nature Center were surveyed during the summer and fall of 2005. The visitor survey results were used to estimate travel-cost demand functions for urban nature center visits and to identify that the consumer surplus accruing to visitors of nature centers in metropolitan Chicago. The accruing aggregate consumer surplus from the existing nature centers is quite high - between $500 and $900 per visitor per year, depending on the methodology employed, with a per visit value of approximate $230. When aggregated over potential users, these results provide evidence to suggest that accessible urban ecosystem fragments are highly valuable public resources in the metropolitan Chicago region. Benefits transfer estimates to the City of Chicago's investment in the Ford Calumet Environmental Center identify potential welfare gains that greatly the cost of restoration. On a per-acre basis the likely public benefits from further natural area restorations are on the order several hundred thousand dollars.
