In the little community of Fairview, Ga., Marcus Hulsey grew up with a blended family. His grandmother was a Jackson and her family created the Catnapper brand recliner. They owned Cleveland chair manufacturing and Gay Manufacturing.
Sony and Peggy had two children each before they met and married and together they have five more children. Marcus and his twin brother Matthew were the youngest.
Marcus' father was shot and killed when he and Matt were only six years old. "He was murdered in Walker County at his car lot. That case just got solved this year; it was part of Walker County Cold Case. The guy lived between my sister and my brother the whole time and we didn't know it. He committed suicide before they could put him on trial, but two people were with him in the car when he did it - one of them came forward," Marcus states.
"We went our whole lives without any closure. My dad died on my sister's birthday. He was a sweet man, but he was an alcoholic. He was like 'Hooper' of Smokey and the Bandit and loved anything 'adrenaline'. That was all I knew about my daddy when I was little," he says.
"I am more like my mom being a caregiver of my family, but Matt is the caregiver of me," Marcus insists. "If you want to do something Matt is very supportive and he will buy into your dreams. We were yin and yang, but we were a team together," he says.
"A graduate student did a study on us; we are both ambidextrous but we are different. Like - anything he does right, I do left, and vice versa. She gave my mom the study results and my mom said, 'it's because they go to the bathroom at the same time. When they wash their hands or brush their teeth – whatever they do; they have their roles and they make room for the other'," Marcus relates.
Marcus had a best friend named Jeremy Godfrey. Jeremy's family, Buddy and Dianne Godfrey, took Marcus in and began mentoring him in a sort of adopting way. "They took me to church and that is where that began, I really got involved," Marcus says.
Buddy Godfrey told Marcus, 'God just led me to be your dad'. When Marcus was just 21 years old he lost his mother to cancer.
"I lived at the Godfrey's house and joined the Marines. I was in the Marines when she died. They gave me mandatory discharge and sent me home. People pulled together around us, I lived with a buddy in Flintstone and then went back to the Godfreys, just trying to reclaim some innocence of my childhood," Marcus admits.
He went to Paducah, Ky., to work for his sister for awhile and he said he had reached a point where he asked God to show him what He wanted him to do and He would give it everything he had.
"It was like God said, 'All the tragedy that you have been through and everything that you have done; you went through this because I want you to take care of my children' and I thought, 'Why would you want me?' and He said, 'Because you know what it is to have that fire put out. I trust you to relight that flame,'" Marcus relays.
Marcus worked as an electrician some and then worked at Daryl's Sandwich shop on and off for a number of years. He became good friends with Daryl Lane and found him to also be a great influence in his life. Marcus began working at the Metropolitan YMCA fulltime while going to Chattanooga State before heading off to Kansas to go to school in Garden City where a sister lived.
"I was helping wrestling Coach Mark Leen and he got a job offer at UTC. I came with him to help in the wrestling program and went to UTC for school and went back to work at the Y," Marcus states.
"When I got back, I was still trying to figure out what I was going to do for a living. I met Ron Nelson at UTC - one of my greatest Christian mentors - and I started pursuing a degree in leisure studies," he says.
While Marcus was cleaning out his closet preparing to donate clothes, Dianne Godfrey had told him to take them to Bethel Bible Village. Marcus asked, "What is that?" and she had told him that it was a Christian group home.
"I donated the clothes, got an application had an interview the next day and was hired within a week!" Marcus said. He continued to work as a house parent for the next six years.
"Then I worked for Chattanooga Out Venture - which is now Outdoor Chattanooga, across the street from Bethel," Marcus says.
He met his wife Janet at Venture Tracks through Partnership for Families, Children and Adults.
"I worked for Daryl's on and off for 20 years and got to eat free. That's where I took Janet and a girl who introduced us and I made them both a sandwich. Daryl gets credit for my 'first date' with my wife," Marcus jokes.
Not having parents during his early adulthood, Marcus was left with somewhat of a void. "Mom didn't see me get married and didn't see me have kids, but after we had our first child, Janet was asleep and I was just watching Sawyer Grace sleeping. I noticed that she looked so much like my mom. Janet woke up and I was crying. I just thought how awesome God is when you can see your lineage. That has been really sweet to see that," Marcus discloses.
"Janet grew up privileged but is very practical and smart. When I asked her parents about marrying her, I said, 'You understand what I am asking you, don't you? I don't have my parents…so when you accept me in your family you are accepting that role,' and they said they wouldn't have it any other way," Marcus beams.
While his twin brother had married much earlier and began his family, Marcus had waited. "God was healing me from a lot of things first. I was aware of those things and didn't want to pass them onto my kids," he acknowledges.
Between brothers and sisters support and the support of the Godfreys and other mentors, Marcus feels the need to give back.
"I had many job offers from business people, but I knew what God was calling me to do. Before Janet and I got married, we had a lot of conversations. I wanted her to know who I was. I didn't do that freaky thing where I put it out there all at once, I waited until we got closer, but I wanted her to know all of what I went through with suffering and loss, and that I worked really hard to get through it… but that when Satan comes after me… that is the stronghold he has. When I shared this with her she accepted me," Marcus says.
"My wife didn't grow up sheltered but she was raised to make choices. That's what I wanted to figure out - how her parents taught her to do that and how she didn't break those absolute rules. Her parents taught her so well. I wanted someone like that, but I also wanted someone that I knew could deal with me. It was hard the first few years of marriage because we had night and day backgrounds.
Marcus and Janet have been married now for six years. They have another daughter and they named her Carolina.
Marcus is currently running the Northwest Georgia Young Life. "That is the ministry I am involved in. I am also a TREK case manager for foster families for Lookout Mountain Community Services. I cover the Northwest Georgia region and I am the advocate for foster kids. I really enjoy the mentor side of it, but hate the paperwork," Marcus confesses.
"I never have taken my hands out of any place I have been, I still help these places. I do design work, consulting work and work with Jackson Kayaking Company. God taught me to work with rural community kids because that is the most underserved community in Chattanooga and the surrounding area.
"I grew up in a rural community. They are the forgotten children. I want to love those kids so that they have a fighting chance. I love people as much as they will let me love them. I am building relationships with those kids. Henry Henegar is one of my elders and brought Young Life to Chattanooga. When I told him that I felt this is what God was calling me to do he said, 'You have been doing Young Life your whole life; we just found you'," Marcus says.
While he keeps his focus on Young life, his wife Janet is director of academic support at Covenant College. Marcus also is involved with Youth Trust at the Y.
"At a benefit, fundraiser, I was talking to Sam Payne. He mentored me a lot in playing guitar and he wanted me to sit down and talk with him and Dalton Roberts. He said, "Marcus, who taught you how to play guitar and where did you fall in love with it?' and I said, 'I had this special-ed teacher and she wanted me to be a part of the glee club. She wanted me to play guitar. She was a beautiful, sweet lady'. He asked, 'What's her name?' and I said, 'Ms. Lewis - she got married and we could never pronounce her name'. Hugh Huffaker (Jr.) was with us and he had tears rolling down his face and said, "You are talking about my wife."
Hugh went home and told his wife about Marcus. Marcus had invited the Huffakers to his graduation and his former teacher had written him a nice letter and also gave him a substantial gift. "She told me that it was a gift from God and you can't give it back. It's hard to accept when people give you gifts, but it is to prepare you for what He has for you to give."
Marcus was in need of being mentored as a child and God had placed many in his pathway. Humbly, Marcus accepted their support and advice and has turned around to mentor others today.
He says, "When we accept God's gift through others, we can give so much more in our serving. It has taught me to have more faith. I had to learn to stop taking things personally and learn to take God personally."

Common Turkic languages
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Common Turkic or Shaz Turkic is a taxon in some of the classifications of the Turkic languages which in Lars Johanson proposal contain the following subgroups:.[1] In other classification schemes (A.Samoylovich, N.Baskakov, and others), the breakdown is different.
- Southwestern Common Turkic (Oghuz)

SPRINGFIELD -- Illinois lawmakers want to get tougher on fraud and abuse of parking privileges for disabled people.
They've approved a bill adding an additional $100 to the fine for people who use a disabled-parking placard that doesn't belong to them.

The bill also goes after people who forge placards or obtain real ones through fraud. The penalties would be doubled, to $1,000 for a first offense and $2,000 for a second.
The measure would limit the number of disabled people who qualify for free parking. In the future, only people with disabilities that keep them from putting coins into a meter or paying at a parking garage would be granted free parking.
The measure was sent to the governor's desk Tuesday.

Meir Panim delivers warmth, special care to families in need.
Much has been said of the revelations known as "PaliLeaks" – the release to the public by Al Jazeera of thousands of confidential peace process-related Palestinian documents. The ensuing discourse has largely focused on the details of "this" or the ramifications of "that," and whether the alleged concessions offered by the Palestinian Authority to Israel in past negotiations – including its purported inclination to divide Jerusalem, forgo the Palestinian "right of return" and recognize Israel's legitimacy – were in fact genuine, a ploy, or altogether fabricated.
This misses the point entirely.
The analysis of the documents by diverse individuals precludes the derivation of any uniform (fundamental) understanding of the importance of PaliLeaks. The inevitable outcome of this process is the evolution of multiple, conflicting "truths," which merely reflect varying worldviews. As such, it is tempting to minimize the significance of PaliLeaks by classifying its significance as "subjective."
However, there is one categorical truth that has emerged – and been overlooked. This realization can be qualified as absolute, for its root cause, and the context in which it was revealed, are both well defined. This truth also has the benefit of being widely observable, which further reduces the influence of interpretive partiality. And this truth is "reactionary" in character, thus serving as an emotional barometer that has the advantage of gauging deep-seated, perhaps even subconscious convictions.
The irony is that this truth is derived not from the confidential materials themselves but rather from the near-homogeneous overwhelming Palestinian response to PaliLeaks. The truth revealed is that Palestinians, barring a monumental cross-generational transformation, will never mandate their leadership to make the compromises needed to forge peace with Israel.
The Palestinian reaction to PaliLeaks was twofold. First, the Palestinian leadership condemned Al Jazeera, with PA President Mahmoud Abbas saying, "This is shameful. These documents are designed to create confusion. In fact, these were Israeli [proposals and do not reflect Palestinian positions]."
In other words, the Palestinian Authority did damage control, refuting even the possibility that it may have acted sensibly, to immunize itself against charges of "colluding" with the Jewish state. And the Palestinian populace did just that, accusing the PA of conspiring with Israel and branding its so-called leaders as traitors.
This speaks volumes about both the duplicitous nature of the Palestinian leadership and the unyielding character of Palestinian society.
That many pundits agree that the Palestinian Authority has been marginalized by PaliLeaks is quite instructive. It shows that acting rationally and making compromises in negotiations are deemed irrational by most Palestinians. Furthermore, the mere suggestion that radical Palestinian elements will now be strengthened – Hamas, for instance – reinforces the Palestinians' propensity to reject "moderation" in the name of fanaticism. For there is nothing moderate, irrespective of circumstance, about empowering a terrorist organization through popular consent.
None of this, however, is news. The majority of Palestinians are already known to maintain extremist attitudes. Many people chose to ignore the results of the 2005 Palestinian election, but the fact remains that the Palestinians elected Hamas, a militant Islamic organization overtly committed to Israel's destruction, to represent them. Accordingly, one can only assume that the average Palestinian relates more closely to the statement "Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam obliterates it," as it appears in the Hamas charter, than to mutual affirmation of "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," the cornerstone of democratic philosophy.
PaliLeaks may or may not have exposed a willingness on the part of a select few Palestinians to cooperate with Israel, although, not surprisingly, those in the Palestinian Authority – including PA President Abbas – who are said to have "compromised" with Israel are, to begin with, illegitimate as they are all unelected. Therefore, as is now recognized, they do not speak for the Palestinian masses.
Even more tellingly, PaliLeaks proves the majority of Palestinians are opposed to reason and compromise. To accept that the best Palestinians can hope for is Jerusalem as the shared capital of both Israel and "Palestine," or that five million "refugees" will not be permitted to flood Israel into oblivion, is not a matter of making concessions but merely the acceptance of reality.
Accordingly, PaliLeaks teaches one irrefutable lesson: that borders, Jerusalem, "refugees," "settlements," and "blockades" have never constituted insurmountable obstacles to achieving peace, but rather that the lone barrier to the actualization of "Palestine" existing alongside Israel are the Palestinians themselves.

Much has been said of the popular uprising in Egypt that led to the demise of the 30-year autocratic rule of President Hosni Mubarak. For the most part, the discourse has centered on the issue of whether or not Egypt can emerge from its uprising as the first "self-made" democracy in the Arab world. In this respect, most pundits have focused their analyses on those obstacles that might prevent Egypt's democratization, in particular, the hindering influence of the radical Islamic Muslim Brotherhood.

New York: Fox Broadcasting is telling advertisers that commercial time during Super Bowl XLVIII on Feb. 2 is gone. Because the Super Bowl is the biggest day of the year for advertising as well as football, the pace of sales of commercial time for ads shown during each game is closely watched by Madison Avenue. To be sold out just after Thanksgiving is an above-average result, meaning demand for spots was strong; when demand is weak, as during recessions, for instance, the network broadcasting the Super Bowl may have spots left to sell until the weekend of the game. "The Super Bowl is done," Neil Mulcahy, executive vice president for sales at Fox Sports, part of 21st Century Fox, said in a phone interview. When asked which categories helped achieve the sellout, Mulcahy cited automobiles, saying, "Certainly, the autos embraced it. All the car companies are back, and GM is back." His reference was to a decision by General Motors, which said in August that it would return as a sponsor after sitting out Super Bowl XLVII this year.

Harvey Window reviews
Had a contractor show me harvey windows; the Harvey Classic.
Im no expert but the window looked cheap and very flimsy.
The ufactor was only a .30 . Another concern was the spacer, harvey uses a
Tin plated spacer and not the new technology which is non metal.
I have seen quite a few brands and was educated thoroughly which is why i now know about spacer's, ufactor, and other important features.
I must of seen 6 window brands. The worst was silverline, mi windows, pella, and the harvey. The best were soft lite, okna, and the quantum 2 window.
I am about to make a decision and want to make sure my suspicions regarding Harvey are correct.
I know the Harvey Classic product well. I do agree, its cheap looking and not made very well. The walls are very thin compromising any structural integrity and their energy efficiency numbers are very poor.
They also have what they call their high end window called tribute but that is mid grade at best and also has thin walls and poorly designed spacer system( tin plated).
Lots of guys around here use harvey because they are cheap but thats not in the best interest of their customers. They will say how they installed alot of them with no complaints bla bla bla...once they are installed and a customer paid a cheap price, who is really going to complain in a few years...
Dont get me wrong, harvey is not horrible, its basically a contractor window but still better than silverline or MI windows. Remember, harvey is a building products company who make all kinds of building material which means they DONT have a focus on windows.
The quantum 2 is very solid as is are the Okna, Affinity Ultra Series,and Soft Lite. sunrise vanguard or restorations is another solid choice. Stay away from the low end stuff, you will be doung your project twice.
This post was edited by mmarse1 on Mon, Sep 30, 13 at 18:25
Although the soft lite elements is a great looking window and built extremely well, we chose the okna 800 with the antique brass hardware. The okna 800 is just a great looking window especially with the upgraded hardware.

Welcome to the PI Dental Center
Dental Implants – The First Choice for Dental Care
Dental implants are the state of the art in twenty-first century dentistry. Decades of research and extraordinarily high success rates have endowed the science of implant dentistry with an excellent reputation.
Dental implants have become more predictable, enduring and cost effective than traditional dental solutions and are now possible for virtually any patient, with or without a volume of bone mass, and even for those with a history of systemic disease.
Dental Implants – A Superior Solution
Far superior to removable dentures, dental implants are the new rescue mission for failing teeth. Because dental implants are non-removable, they function like natural teeth, stabilizing the jaw, defying aging, and enhancing both chewing and digestion. Equally important, dental implants provide confidence.
Choose a Prosthodontist
It is essential to begin the consultation process with a board certified prosthodontist.
Whether a patient requires one implant or a complete upper and lower arch restoration, the precise placement of the dental implants and the positioning of the prosthetic teeth are crucial.
Because the end result should offer maximum dental function, superior esthetics and total comfort, the engineering expertise of this specialist is key to long term satisfaction.
Advanced Training Matters
The training of prosthodontists enables them to perform more complex procedures and employ advanced strategies. They envision the function of the final smile in the patient's mouth even while placing the implants. When the same contractor oversees each step of a new building, it ensures that everything is in the right place at the right time. Similarly, the prosthodontist's design from implant placement to the final restoration delivers the best results.
Be An Educated Consumer of Dental Care
All dental implants are not created equal! And all procedures are not as predictable as those performed in the Pi Dental Center. Since dental implants are a significant investment in quality of life, it is wise to understand what implants are, why the cost of dental implants cannot be reduced without sacrificing quality, and why "Pi" is your best choice for the smile of your life.
What's "Hip" in Cosmetic Dentistry
The quest for fitness in America has expanded to embrace healthy smiles and the average patient visiting the Pi Dental Center comes with some knowledge of dental implants and at least a glimmer of the endless possibilities.
While veneers are still a sought after commodity, they require healthy teeth beneath them, and are usually the shortest term cosmetic dental solution. Smiles constructed on dental implants are stronger, much longer lasting, and infinitely more cost effective. They also allow a prosthodontist to use his artistic skill to innovatively custom design every smile.
The beauty of dental implant treatment is that it has the power to transform almost any smile and therefore also transforms lives. Even patients who have suffered with dentures for years or patients who have lost the majority of their intraoral bone can have a solid, healthy, non-removable smile that attracts attention.
Though research indicates America still has a major population sporting missing teeth, there is definitely a trend toward seeking better dental health using the technological advances available with dental implants. From the simple "All on 4" to the zygomatic implant protocols, there is a distinctive smile available for most every patient.

"it's ok..."
The Good: fits well l/xl does its job I guess
The Bad: 1 endo and the helmet was toastOverall Review: For a 100 dollar helmet I thought the quality would be a lot better. When I got the helmet, I noticed that some of the plastic pieces that hold the straps in place were popped out. I attempted to pop them back in only to find that they were broken and would not stay in place....No big deal, I wanted to ride. Every time I pull the helmet out for a ride, the stupid pads that are velcroed in fall out, its annoying. I took one spill and now the helmet has a huge dent in it and is useless....I would not recommend this helmet, spend the extra 50 dollars and get a TLD
2015 Giant Reign 27.5 1
"Surprising All Rounder "
The Good: Excellent descender, surprisingly capable climber, excellent performing build kit, tubeless kit included, proper large sizing
The Bad: Cost is relatively high for alloy frame and X1, some flex from separate upper maestro links, some noises and creaksOverall Review: I've had my Reign 1 for around 3 months now, and the bike continues to get better as I continue riding it. It's so good on the downhills my Demo 8 is for sale, and it climbs as well as many smaller trail bikes I've ridden. The Pike dual position air I've found to be a great asset, as with the fork in 130mm mode the bike feels like a much more aggressive trail bike making getting round feel much more natural, and extended climbs much easier.

Danny Boyle is back! Hopefully his latest project is as good as his last big hit, Slumdog Millionaire.
James Franco and Kate Mara star in 127 Hours, which is about a mountain climber who gets trapped under a boulder while canyoneering alone near Moab, Utah and resorts to desperate measures in order to survive.
The movie is based on the harrowing true story of mountain climber Aron Ralston.
The plot line doesn't sound too interesting, but the trailer is not that bad. We're always willing to give Danny Boyle a chance, especially since James Franco is the main star.

10 Senior Dogs On Facebook That Are Cooler Than You
Facebook would not be the same without the amazing older dogs we get to know and love that work hard to educate, entertain and add meaning to our lives. Thanks for showing the world how cool senior dogs truly are.
1. Chubbs the Wampug
Chubbs makes people around the world laugh on a daily basis thanks in large part to her (yes Chubbs is a lady) awesome costumes: Wampug, Banthapug, Freddie Pugger etc. She also appreciates any and all snackies so don't visit empty-handed.
2. Solomon
Solomon sees the world in his own, hilarious way. Wise beyond words, a man who truly knows what he likes (and doesn't like).
3. Pixie
Pixie sure has a lot to Arooooooooooooo about living with 2 French Bulldog brothers, Peanut and Wilbur (aka Wilbut), who never listen and finding time to pose for all her fans.
4. Harley
Harley had a really tough start to life being in a puppy mill which caused a long long list of heath issues for this poor little fella. Now Harley is not only adored by his family, but by thousands of friends as well. When he is not stealing our hearts on Facebook, he is busy traveling around the U.S. speaking out against puppy mills.
5. Winston Wilbur
Winston Wilbur is the man! He may have mobility challenges, but he doesn't let that stop him from finding adventure and showing his little brother Sam Cooper how to enjoy life.
6. Spike Taylor
Spike likes to defy the odds. Diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure, he has already lived years beyond expectations. For Spike it's all about quality time with his family and fans (and there are a lot of them) while he continues to teach people the joys of rescuing a dog - "adopt, don't shop" - right Spike?
7. Lil Olive
Putting 12 years of puppy mill life behind her, sweet Olive is being rewarded through a new beginning with a wonderful family. While enjoying her new life, Olive is committed to teaching people how bad puppy mills really are in hopes of preventing others from having the life she once had. With those days behind her it is nothing but happiness ahead and I wouldn't want to miss a minute of it.
8. The Bumblesnot
Snort, snort, snort, Bumblesnot is here. Bacon, some disgusting (but somehow adorable) habits, younger siblings that cross the line and a social media affair with Pixie, will keep you entertained to no end. Thanks Bumble for not being afraid to be YOU!
9. Sammy the Cocker Spaniel
Sweet Sammy was an abused dog brought in by his former owner in a garbage bag, close to death. His recovery and his family's fight for justice has captured the hearts of thousands as we went from horror to joy, watching Sammy find health, love and happiness in his new life.
10. Teddy
Big things really do come in small packages - just ask Teddy. A Kansas puppy mill survivor who is also helping to raise awareness and money, so one day we won't have to worry about these horrible places ever again. Since he has found freedom, he has also found love and lots of it with his new family where he is safe, happy and stealing the show.

In the week-plus since Michael Sam came out, everybody has been debating how a gay player will be accepted in locker rooms around the NFL.
[RELATED: Rotoworld Mock Draft has Bears thinking defensive line]
Bears Hall of Famer Dan Hampton, an old-school defensive lineman with 57 sacks to his name, doesn't see it as an issue at all.
"If he can play, everybody will love him," Hampton told CSN from the Chicago Auto Show Monday. "At some point, the kid is going to have to prove that he can shed blocks and make plays.
"If he can do that, nobody cares if he's from Mars. If he can play, he can play. I've never seen a football team that's not willing to accept a great player no matter what baggage he brings."

painting one side of a fence
I understand that we cannot paint our side of the fence if the neighbor does not want to paint his. Our paint would bleed through to his side and the issue would be that ours would look splotchy. Does anyone here have any ideas about this?
How thick is the wood on the fence 1/32"? Have you even tried in an unseen area to see if it would bleed through? Where have you found these 'painters" who say it will? I would not believe a "painter" who does not seal decks and fences.
I've seen many fences that were painted on one side, and the paint does NOT bleed through the slats and show up on the other side. It would have to seep through 1/2 inch of wood to do that.
What you can get, if you spray the slats, is overspray showing on the narrow sides of the slats, which will be visible from both sides of the fence. Just use a roller and don't slap it on
Thanks--It was the fence company guy and also one paint store guy who told me this. But it did not make sense to me so thought I would check here. They also said it would do this over time. How much time I do not know. Not sure how thick the wood in but it is your standard good neighbor fence. Guess we will be painting soon.
One side of our property has a wood privacy fence between us and the neighbors. They painted all their side green and you can't see it at all from our side. We will probably also paint our side and will ask them for the color to make things easier for both of us.

Workforce Management
Most federal employees find their work to be motivating, a new survey finds, but there's ample room for improvement. (Stock image)
The good news? Most federal employees find their jobs to be motivating. The better news? Agency managers have some ways to improve employee satisfaction without spending any more money, according to a new study.
The Merit Systems Protection Board's report, "Federal Employee Engagement: The Motivating Potential of Job Characteristics and Rewards," examines motivation levels in the federal workforce and outlines what agencies can do to bring up employee engagement and performance.
The report found most employees say they are motivated in their jobs, and traits such as skill variety, autonomy and feedback are key to high engagement levels. However, many employees reported their job lacked one or more features needed to a high level of motivation; almost 80 percent said they did not have a highly favorable view of their job characteristics.
"This finding suggests that although at a general level federal employees feel motivated in their work, job characteristics are an area where potential improvements in motivation can be made," according to the report. Most feds value nonmonetary rewards, such as serving the public and having job security, over compensation and bonuses. Slightly more than 95 percent cited the personal satisfaction they experience in their job as the most important reward to continue their employment in their agency.
"The importance of nonmonetary rewards to federal employees is encouraging in light of the budget and resource constraints that many federal agencies currently face," the report authors wrote.
Despite valuing the nonmonetary rewards they receive, few feds see a clear connection between their work efforts and outcomes. Only 23 percent reported having a high Motivation Force Score – a number that reflects the motivational quality of an employee's rewards and perceived connections between effort, performance and rewards. The practical implication of that is that employees who scored high were more likely to receive a high performance rating than those with a low score.
The report stresses better job design -- structuring jobs to maximize desirable characteristics--to encourage an efficient workforce. Such traits include having a substantial impact through work, receiving feedback and exercising autonomy in scheduling and performing work. Another way to increase employee engagement and motivation is to offer the workforce rewards that it values most.
Federal agencies need to ensure employees see results of their efforts and receive positive reinforcement for achieving goals and results, Susan Tsui Grundmann, MSPB chairman, said in a Jan. 7 statement.
"To ensure that recognition efforts are effective and use scarce resources wisely, federal agencies and managers need to learn what rewards employees value most and design their programs accordingly," she said.
Employee engagement has been linked to higher productivity and increased agency outcomes. A report submitted to Congress in 2008 found that engagement levels were undesirably low at agencies: A third of federal employees were engaged, less than half were somewhat engaged, and 17.5 percent were disengaged.
MSPB found that NASA has the highest number (76.5 percent) of employees who reported feeling highly motivated. The lowest levels of motivation were reported by employees at the Housing and Urban Development Department, where just 61.4 percent said they were highly motivated.
The report is based on data from the 2010 Merit Principles Survey, which MSPB periodically conducts to evaluate the health of federal merit systems. The survey was distributed to nearly 72,000 full-time, permanent, federal employees, of which 42,020 responded.

Money's not the only thing but it sure beats what's second!
These "studies" are always constructed so as to provide the leadership with the talking points they want. They want to say that pay is not a motivating factor so they can ignore the fact that pay freezes are a seriously demotivating factor. Anybody who actually has to work for a living knows that compensation is for most people the #1 motivator. Even for those with other #1 motivators, compensation is still going to be in the top 3. You have to be pretty damned well off (like most of our millionaire politicians) before pay ceases to be a major motivator.
Motivated, every morning it takes >15 minutes to get my PC to load, (>20 if email is included). Heaven forbid if there's a patch. PS: I'm not here for love--just stop paying me and see what happens!
Pay the license fees for the software I use every day so we can get upgrades and don't lose technical support and maybe I'll be more motivated... I've given up on having the leaky roof fixed.
This is a combination of a self-serving spin on answers and questions written to prevent meaningful responses that would have shown that money IS important, and not being embarrassed to let oneself be identified as a Fed IS important. Right now I see a dead end career and continued efforts to steer conversations away from the identity of my employer. Maybe it's just me, though. The new crop might really be happy with the indefinite prospect of a "salary-as-political-hostage" pay model, continued villainization by congress, pats on their heads with a "job well done" and bringing their own devices.
