The most common jobs in facilities management are found in building service and security guard occupations. Building service and security guard positions in New York City are found in residential and commercial buildings, and public institutions, such as schools, airports and hospitals.
Over 160,000 New Yorkers are employed in building service and security guard occupations, making this one of the larger employment segments in the city.
Building Service Security Guards
As indicated in the table above, the NYS Department of Labor projects that the number of security guard positions will grow by 21% between 1998 and 2008. Note that this 1998 projection might turn out to be on the low side, given heightened security concerns in New York City. During the current
recession, the industry containing security guard businesses increased employment by 8.7% from December of 2000 (the peak month for total NYC employment) to January of 2003. In this period when NYC has lost nearly 6% of its total job base, the investigation and security services industry had
the largest employment gain (+3,500) of any private industry other than health, social or educational services.
Security guards in New York City made a median hourly wage of $8.46 in 1998, with the middle half of all workers earning between $6.75 and $12.39 an hour.
The most significant single employer of security guards is the real estate industry, which employs guards in commercial and residential buildings. In addition, over half of the security guards in New York City are employed by firms that provide contractual protective services throughout the economy
(public and private sector). In the Standard Industrial Classification system, these firms were included in the miscellaneous business services industry group.
This is significant in the sense that over half of the security guards in New York City do not work directly for the institution in which they are placed, but instead work for contractors who in turn place them in retail and other settings.
Commercial office buildings range in size from less than 1,000 to more than 1 million square feet. About 2,000 buildings in the United States(less than 1% of the total number) have more than 500,000 square feet of floor space, and about 7,000 (nearly 1%) have more than 200,000 square feet. The amount of space in these larger buildings is significant: nearly 30% of all commercial office floor space is in buildings with more than 200,000 square feet.
Potential Indicators of Terrorist Activity
Terrorists have a wide variety of weapons and tactics available to achieve their objectives. Specific threats of most concern to commercial office buildings include:
• Improvised explosive devices
• Arson
• Small arms attack
• Assassination/kidnapping
• Chemical/biological/radiological agent attack
• Aircraft attack
• Cyber attack
Terrorist activity indicators are observable anomalies or incidents that may precede a terrorist attack. Indicators of an imminent attack requiring immediate action may include the following:
• Persons in crowded areas wearing unusually bulky clothing that might conceal suicide explosives.
• Vehicles illegally parked near facility buildings or near places where large numbers of people gather.
• Unattended packages (e.g., backpack, briefcase, box) that might contain explosives.
• Suspicious packages and/or letters received by mail that might contain explosives or chemical/biological/ radiological agents.
• Evidence of unauthorized access to HVAC areas of a building.
Indicators of potential surveillance by terrorists include:
• Persons using or carrying video/camera/observation equipment in or near the facility over an extended period.
• Persons discovered with facility maps, photos, or diagrams with critical assets highlighted or notes regarding infrastructure or listing of personnel.
• Persons parking, standing, or loitering in the same area over a multiple-day period with no apparent reasonable explanation.
• Persons questioning facility employees off-site about practices pertaining to the facility and its operations, or an increase in personal e-mail, telephone, faxes, or postal mail requesting information about the facility or one of its
key assets.
• Facility employees inquiring about facility operations, equipment, assets, or security measures about which they should have no job-related interest.
• An increase in buildings left unsecured or doors left
unlocked, when normally secured and locked at all times
This is the finished diorama of the Winnemucca, NV depot that grew out of the inspiration from a photograph by Alfred A. Hart in 1868. The depot was a water station needed by the people, animals and locomotives used to build the Central Pacific segment of the 1st Transcontinental Railroad. The depot was close to the point where the Central Pacific and the Union Pacific would meet at Promontory Point Utah and the great celebration connecting the Eastern and Western parts of the United States by rail.

Segment 7 begins at the Goldhill Trailhead near Breckenridge, CO. Access to Breckenridge is easy via a free bus ride. The Summit Stage bus stop is not far from the trailhead.
I was hiking toward Leadville where I had left my car at the Leadville Hostel. Ownership of the Leadville Hostel has changed since I stayed there. It was $25 for a night in the bunkroom where I somehow managed to get a few hours of sleep despite some snorers. It was a very nice hostel; I would be surprised if it wasn't still.
I took the Lake County Link (pay $5 on bus) from Leadville to Frisco Station where I picked up the Summit Stage. I was hiking by 0900 on a bright, sun shiny day. The first several miles were fairly easy although mostly exposed. Evidence of the pine beatle devastation was clearly visible once again.
It was an awesome hike. The views are spectacular. Maybe the best I've seen (to this point) even better than GA Pass. Once above treeline, it is sidehill with some extremely steep areas. There were some patches of melting snow along the way.
There were quite a few CT hikers out on this day. After hiking about 12 miles which included up and over the high point of 12,495 feet, I stopped for the night. I was just short of the end of the segment.

This week's post for Macro Mondays - The theme is divided.
While on a bike ride this evening, I stopped at the Butterfly Garden and spotted this Monarch Caterpillar on a Milkweed plant which seemed perfect for this week's theme.

Birch Creek provided much relief to emigrants after the hot, dusty, and parched segment of the Oregon Trail from Alkali Springs, north of present-day Vale. In the early years of the Oregon Trail, there was plenty of grass for livestock and fresh water for animals and emigrants. Emigrants often held over at this location for one of two reasons: some were sick from drinking the stagnant water at Alkali Springs, while others rested for the long haul up the Burnt River Canyon - the roughest part of the trail to come.
Know Before You Go:
The site contains a 300-foot gravel trail that leads to interpretive panels. The trail is not barrier-free.
The actual Birch Creek crossing and emigrant camp is located on private land and is not accessible to the public.
The road to the site can be rough, particularly going uphill.

Daylight gave me an opportunity to record each piece of equipment of the U-LSSFLX.
Add this to Track Inspector Bird being issued a track warrant for "my" segment so I can photograph the equipment with even safer knowledge of knowing I would not be encountering an train coming through (not that I was ~that~ close to the tracks to start with.)
Ran into Mr. Bird midway through the shoot and had a nice conversation. The track equipment will be unloaded Tuesday morning 08:00. The empty train will be shuttled back south and stored at TMPA siding (MP139) - Gibbons Creek Generating Station is shut down until June, so the siding is not needed for coal trains or taking up a valuable passing siding for north / southbound meets).

Day 6
Alpine Tunnel (Collegiate West 04) to Boss Lake (Collegiate West 05)
There was a dayhiker at the Pass (12,105') where I took a short break. On descent, the side of my left knee began to hurt. Hopefully it will stop since it is mostly only hurting on the down hill.
My other roadwalk was inadvertant and came near the bottom where I saw some hikers at a trailhead. Although some signs indicated that this was not the CT, I went to check it out. The hikers were doing from Durango to Denver and appeared to come up via road. So I followed the road.
I continued on road but soon realized it probably was not the CT. I checked my CT Hiker App and sure enough I was not on the Colorado Trail. Oops! Fortunately the road and the CT eventually ran into each other again. Instead of backtracking I continued on the road until reacquiring the CT, maybe 1/2 an hour of road walking.
I stopped to make an early Lun/Din again and just as I was finishing, it started to rain and then hail. Temperature dropped quite a bit. I was below treeline and couldn't help but think of those who were not. It must've been very cold being exposed.
Fortunately the storm didn't last very long. My umbrella worked perfectly. I was planning to stay at Hunt Lake for the night but saw a decent spot by Boss Lake instead. I got tent up just before another storm. The sun did reappear and warm things up. Total miles for the day: 11.5.
