Making home repairs using retirement savings
My husband and I are planning to sell our house in another year. Our house needs some major repairs, roof, driveway, exterior paint. We live in a highly sought-after area of NY. Should we apply for a home equity loan or use our savings to finance these repairs? We still have a mortgage of approx. $80,000 on the house. Husband is in his 70's and will stop working next year. These repairs cannot wait.
As a general rule, you're better off borrowing money than tapping into savings as long as the interest rate of the loan is less than what you're making on the savings, after taking taxes into account.
In practice, this comparison may be difficult to make, because both the prospective loan and the savings' earnings may be variable in rate and thus hard to forecast. In that case, you need to factor in the cost of misestimating as well. But the basic idea is still sound.
Are there tax-deferred retirement savings at issue? As someone said, sometimes using them involves penalties.
Would a Line of Credit from credit union or bank be available?
And at what rate of interest?
Maybe use that to finance the repairs.
Would you be interested in a second mortgage - and what rate of interest, compared with a Line of Credit? Also, maybe hard to get, in your 70s.
Do you have credit cards? Paying off balances in full monthly? It's important to do that.
Good wishes as you seek to make the most advantageous decision.

If you have the money and you are 70 years old I would pay for the repairs with cash, sell the house and retire to a less expensive area. Main reason is that you will pay interest + closing costs + mortgage tax on the home equity loan, and there is no low risk investement that will come anywhere close to beating that.
Most home equity loans do not have closing costs or fees. We paid a total of 75 for ours. If you really think you can sell in less than a year I would definitely do the loan unless the interest rate is ridiculous or the amount is miniscule compared to what you have saved. For example, I would not bother with a 25k loan if you have over 1M in savings
Thanks for the replies. We have a mortage on the home of $50,000, a home equitity loan of $40,000 with an attached line-of-credit for $500,000 which we never touched. The two other loans are fixed at 6.6% but if we use the line-of-credit it will rise depending on the prime rate. I took it in case of emergency. The repairs will cost around $40,000 (if we do them all). Husband is 73, I am 57. He will probably retire next year (although, he doesn't really want to ever retire.)We couldn't afford to stay here if he retires. Everything is so up-in-the-air and it makes me nervous. Not sure how to proceed. I feel we should use cash.
Jane, I see that there is not much action here since May. Just wanted to tell you I have been faced with the same decision as you, concerning using l O C or taking out of IRA. As people say the IRA money is in place and upon withdrawal you will be charged additional income tax. Better to take LOC and take tax right off.

Tony Hayward has said he is hopeful the new measures would soon contain a major portion of the oil gushing out of the ruptured well, but scientist Ira Leifer says the oil may be gushing out at a rate of more than 100,000 barrels a day, a number that BP once called its worst-case scenario.

Simple Web App
Closed - This job posting has been filled and work has been completed.
Job Description
Hello all,
Please see my other job posting here to learn more about the project.
I am looking to design a simple web app that will feature EMDR technology - which is basically just a visual moving side to side on the screen. The app will also have to have an auditory component which will be a sound that plays beats alternating between left and right simultaneously with the moving visual.
So we need
- A login
- A play and pause button
- An audio track
- A visual that moves side to side
For an idea of what the visual should look like check out this app
and this web page http://www.rapidtables.com/tools/e
I want the page to be simple in design but professional and elegant looking. I like the design of oDesk very much.
Please let me know what additional information is required for a firm quote.
Include your skype name to IM if you're interested.
Thank you and have a great day,
Skills: design

4 I 1 w 29% I i I l v /NVE/V7'0/? KENNETH L. MART/N ATTORNEY United States Patent 3,358,373 AN GULATION GAUGE T0 MEASURE FOOT VARUS Kenneth L. Martin, 1934 Del Mar Ave.,
San Gabriel, Calif. 91776 Filed May 6, 1965, Ser. No. 453,843 Claims. (Cl. 33-174) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An angulation gauge having a gauge piece for engagement with the sole of the foot and with a height-adjustable post rotationally mounted on the gauge piece having an index in association with the gauge piece. A knee-line sighting plate on the upper end of the post is sighted by a handle and is adjustable thereby to bring the index to the calibration on the gauge that visually shows the angle between the sighted line and the line from the ankle joint that is normal to the sole.
This invention relates to a gauge to measure the varus angle of the human foot to aid in the design of corrective shoe inserts to restore the turn of the foot to keep it in line with the knee joint. Such insertsnot part of this invention-ordinarily comprise plastic plates with sole-engaging surfaces that affect such corrective foot turning.
An object of the present invention is to provide an angulation gauge, as above characterized, that visually shows the angle of the ankle joint relative to the line normal to the sole of the foot and extending to the knee joint, thereby accurately showing the angle into which the foot must turn into varus to keep in such line with the knee joint.
Another object of the invention is to provide a gauge that is extensible to enable use thereof on feet varying greatly in size.
This invention also has for its objects to provide such means that are positive in operation, convenient in use, easily installed in a working position and easily disconnected therefrom, economical of manufacture, relatively simple, and of general superiority and servicea-bility.
The above objects are realized in an angulation gauge that comprises a calibrated gauge piece adapted to be placed against the sole of a foot, an extensible post rotationally mounted on said gauge piece and provided With an index or pointer that extends into operative association with the calibrations of the gauge piece, a knee-line sighting plate carried by the upper end of said post to sight along a line from said sole to the knee joint of said foot, and a handle for rotationally adjusting the sighting position of said plate to thereby bring the index to the position over the calibration that visually shows the angle between said sighted line and the line from the ankle joint that is normal to the sole.
The invention also comprises novel details of construction and novel combinations and arrangements of parts, which will more fully appear in the course of the following description, which is based on the accompanying drawing. However, said drawing merely shows and the following description merely describes one embodiment of the present invention, which is given by way of illustration or example only.
In the drawing, like reference characters designate similar parts in the several views.
FIG. 1 is a top plan View of an angulation gauge to measure foot varus and shown in angle-measuring position.
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view thereof.
The drawing shows a foot 5 of a leg of a person in 3,358,373 Patented Dec. 19, 1967 prone position on a table 6. FIG. 1 shows the ankle joint 7 of said foot with a line 8 that extends from said joint normal to the sole of the foot. Said FIG. 1 also shows a line 10 from the sole of the foot, at or near where the line 8 intersects said sole, to the knee joint of said foot. The present gauge measures the angle 11 included between lines 8 and 10.
The angulation gauge that is illustrated comprises, generally, a gauge piece 15 provided with calibrations in degrees 16, an extensible post 17 mounted on said gauge piece and rotational on a pivot 18, an index or pointer 19 at the lower end of said post and visually associated with and adjacent to the calibrations 16, a knee-line sighting plate 20 affixed to the upper end of said post 17 and directed oppositely to the index 19, and a handle 21 extending from said upper post end oppositely to the plate 20.
The gauge piece 15 is shown as an angle member that has a part or leg 25 that, with a foot in the described position, is adapted to be applied against the sole 9, preferably the ball of the foot 26, and a part or leg 27 that, being at right angles to the leg 25, is horizontal as shown in FIG. 2. Said leg 27 has a circular edge 28 adjacent to which is provided the graduations 16. The same are in the nature of protractor markings except that zero'is at a center line that is normal to the plane of part 25 and left and right degree marking forming scales on either side of zero need only extend to the maximum angulation that may be encountered in a foot. The scale, as shown, extends for 30 on each side of zero, angulation that is greater than will be needed in practice. Of course, the scale may be extended to give greater angulation readings.
The post 17 is made to be extensible for increased range of use, the same being shown with three sections 29, 30 and 31, that are telescopically fitted, one in the other, so that the gauge may be used on infants and childrens feet, as well as on adults feet merely by extending or contracting the post sections, as desired. Said sections are preferably polygonal in section or keyed against relative rotation so that all of the sections, as a unit, may rotate on the pivot 18 which is shown as a screw that extends through the gauge leg 27 into the bottom of a fitting 32 to which the lower section 29 of the post is aflixed. At the upper end of the post section 31, a block 33 is affixed. The mentioned index 19 extends horizontally from the fitting 32, overstanding the upper face of the leg 27 of the gauge piece with the point 34 directed to be associated with the calibrations 16.
The plate 20 is shown as an elongated member that is afiixed to the post fitting 33 and extends oppositely to the index 19. An elongated slot 35 is provided in said plate, the same allowing for sighting along the line 10 to the knee joint whether or not such a line is marked on the feet 5. It will be clear that the post 17 is extended, as re quired, to locate the plate 20 immediately above or in contact with the heel 36 of the foot when the gauge leg 25 is disposed in frontal contact with the ball 26 of said foot.
The handle 21 is also afiixed to said fitting 33 and the same extends oppositely to the plate 20, said handle constituting a convenient means for manipulating the post and the members carried thereby.
When the gauge is applied to a foot 5, the leg 25 of the gauge piece will be normal to the line 8 which extends from the ankle joint 7. Therefore, zero on the scale 16 will lie along an extension of said line. Now, when the post 17 is angularly adjusted so the line 10 to the knee joint is sighted in the slot 35, the included angle 11 will be reproduced as a substantially equal and opposite angle between Zero and the index 19. Thus, said angle 11 is visually readable on the scale. It will be recognized that the lines 8 and 10 are marks that are located byobservation and according to the expertness of the doctor or other person. The intersection of these marks, while ideally at the sole of the foot, may in practice be offset outwardly therefrom with little or no efiect on the accuracy of the measurement. In any case, the present gauge, applied to the foot as above, will provide an angle reading on the scale 16 that is so close to the angle 11 that it is acceptable as a proper reading.
While the foregoing has illustrated and described what is now contemplated to be the best mode of carrying out the invention, the construction is, of course, subject to modification without departing from the spirit and scope of. the invention. Therefore, it is not described to restrict the invention to the particular form of construction illustrated and described, but to cover all modifications that may fall within the scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described the invention what is claimed and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:
1. A gauge to measure the varus angle of a foot comprising:
(a) a gauge piece having a part adapted to be placed into contact with the ball of the foot and provided with a scale reading in degrees on both sides of zero which is disposed on a line normal to said gauge part,
(b) a post rotationally mounted on the gauge piece,
(c) an index extending from said post in visual and operative relation to the scale on the gauge piece, and
(d) a plate extending from the upper end of the post in a direction opposite to the index and having a longitudinal slot for sighting along a line that extends from the sole of the foot to the knee joint of said foot, to define an angle between said line and a line that extends from the ankle joint of said foot to and normal to the sole, said scale and index visually showing an equal and opposite angle,
(e) the gauge piece comprising an angle member that has a first leg adapted for the mentioned contact with the ball of the foot, and a second leg extending normal to the first leg to extend longitudinally outward beyond the sole when said first leg is placed in conscopically fitted parts are formed to berelatively nonrotational.
for turning the post around its pivot, the same extending oppositely to the plate.

A "B" picture with "A" ambitions, Hell Bound stars Leo Carrillo as ruthless but basically decent racketeer Nick Cotrelli. Worried that singer Platinum Reed (Lola Lane) may know too much about his crooked operation, Cotrelli marries the girl so that she can't testify against him in court. Believing that Cotrelli isn't interested in her, Platinum falls in love with Robert Sanford (Lloyd Hughes), the young doctor who nursed her through a serious illness. At first inclined to bump off both his wife and her lover, Cotrelli thinks the better of it and in the end sacrifices his own life to insure Platinum's future happiness. Singer Russ Columbo is credited with writing the film's signature tune {&"Is It Love?"} but did not appear in the film, as has sometimes been reported. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

So happy to see you!!! Please tell us about the new church
sunny & warm today need a good weekend
just came in my e-mail very good http://paulwilkinson.wordpress.com/2014/03/22/servants-and-leaders/
Wow! Keep us posted. In the 80's their was a music group called the "second chapter of Acts" I don't even remember what they sounded like. LOL
I did go to one church just like yours. It was just brand new and so exciting. I will pray the Lord's blessing on your DH and you. It is a big big thing leading a church!
Have you looked into the House church movement? That might be just what you are going for...
my 2 year old is all over me..sorry for mistakes
or is house church?
Here something to look at. If I were to start a church it would be like this. I don't see things the way most people see them...so take it or leave it.
Sorry, he writes about the house church and the history of the early church. I was showing you the link because it is the books that I read. I'm sure that you can find other book, web sites and stuff. Sorry I should of said that.
church splits are never easy. Leaving people that you have put love and care into. The Joy and sadness that was shared. A small church makes harder. (any church is not easy) Was it a disagreement between your husband and the other pastor? (you do not have answer that!!!) It must be hard on the kids.
I'm praying that the Lord will give you strength, wisdom and care in this time.
If want to "talk" I have an ear for you.
That is just not right. The whole letter thing is just out of line! So sad.
I have seen so many wrong things in my 36 years in the church.
I have even thought about starting my own church. I did alot of research and even went to a conference. (It was very strange and I left.) Anyway, I know a few men/women that would make great elders. Making for a great start. But then I just let it go. Not sure if it might not burn inside of my again. I believe that the gathering together of believers is the church. NOT all the stuff that we as people have put on it.
OK! I will be quiet now. Sorry that I have so much to say. This is something that i really think is so misunderstood and sadly missing. JESUS NOW. Bring Him back as the Head of our church.
OH! please pray for me. The devotion is coming up. I want to do my best for the Lord. I am going to talk about worship. Still looking at the life of Mary and her putting the oil on Jesus feet.
So happy for a new week. Last night I had a long talk with my DH. It did not go very well. NOT sure why he will not listen. So I need a plan.
How is everyone????
Chunk- How are you feeling? Sleep?
Pizza- All I wanted was pizza with #1 Then all other pegs NOTHING?? It is funny how the whole thing works.
DH- Oh yes! He is right all the time! LOL The sad part is that if he would just listen things could be cleared up fast...Now, I just don't know. I will fast and pray. Thanks
Plans for the week? I am looking into something to make some extra money. I will see how this works out. Also I NEED to sit down and write out the devotion. Not sure why I have not done that yet. ;) Crazy how time flies.
Oh, that sounds painful and exciting 3Lil. I hate church splits (went through one in high school). And just last year was in a church situation that was pretty bad. Evidently I (as a single mother at the time) was 'not being submissive enough to leadership', yet I had asked multiple times to talk to the pastor & his wife about what they believed on certain (nonessential) issues but was totally ignored. Frustrating enough, but then all the rumors I heard after we found a different church were crazy! And no one would actually talk to me about it.
Anyway, I hope your group now studies and grows together well!
Naz- I'll keep praying for you.
DH and I had been trying to start a devotional with my boys, but his work has been so busy that we haven't been very consistent. :( It's kind of discouraging for both of us, but work might slow down next week so I'm trying to be optimistic and make sure I'm teaching the littles plenty in the meantime.
something is wrong with my computer. I'm @ my parent's...just want to tell you I'm OK. Need to get my computer fix?
Amazing!!! The Lord fixed my computer. Really I just said let me see if I can get it to work (before I $$$ to get it fix) and it is working...Praise the Lord. Really!
By the way did MDC change something? This looks different????
OK! Now I'm going to read the post that I missed...
DH and I had been trying to start a devotional with my boys, but his work has been so busy that we haven't been very consistent. :( It's kind of discouraging for both of us, but work might slow down next week so I'm trying to be optimistic and make sure I'm teaching the littles plenty in the meantime.
We read a chapter of the Gospels each night. I just read that let them ask questions. Some nights we miss. Then the next night we will pick back up where we left off.
Thanks for the prays. I am thankful for them. Really!
Without getting into details...we don't have much in the way of time. Things hit the fan...so that is how I found out in the 1st place. He needs to listen.
Chunk- I like the Father's House. Blessings on your house of worship

Provide a supportive and effective work environment to retain the best people and position UCSF for the future.
- Recruit, mentor and retain the highest-caliber faculty, staff, students, residents, fellows and postdoctoral scholars.
- Provide facilities and infrastructure that accommodate planned growth, academic strategic priorities and UCSF's vision.
- Ensure top-quality institutional leadership for UCSF to excel.
- Ensure accountability, efficiency and transparency throughout UCSF.
- Secure sustainable and diversified funding.
Improve the financial aspects of recruitment and retention to compensate for the high cost of living in the Bay Area.
UCSF is facing a crisis due to the high cost of living in the San Francisco Bay Area. The lack of affordable, desirable housing, child care and education is formidable. UCSF must work to provide more attractive and competitive compensation packages, assist with affordable child care and provide greater financial aid, among other efforts to recruit and retain faculty, staff, students and trainees.
Develop effective mentoring programs for all at UCSF.
UCSF has offered mentoring programs for faculty and staff for years. UCSF has launched a faculty mentoring program for junior and new faculty, one that will be among the most comprehensive in the United States. This is the first time faculty mentoring has been institutionalized and directed across all four schools through the Office of the Vice Provost for Academic Affairs. Mentoring programs should be expanded and made available to all, including staff, students and trainees, as part of a supportive work environment at UCSF.
Ensure that professional development and career advancement opportunities are transparent and available to all.
UCSF should increase efforts to communicate widely and regularly about professional development and career advancement opportunities available within the University. UCSF also should work to develop opportunities to allow qualified staff to train for career advancement, remove hindrances to internal promotions in the staff classification system, and develop formal recognition and reward programs for faculty and staff.
Optimally deploy information technology for administrative, academic and clinical purposes.
UCSF must support the investment and implementation of modern information technology (IT) to better serve the academic mission and priorities. Recently, academic IT and administrative IT services have joined forces to unify campus IT under one umbrella. UCSF should support the current initiative for a broader and more integrated IT governance process, and provide sufficient funding to acquire new technology and to support and operate the technology once in place. UCSF also should ensure that the academic enterprise is involved in the selection and design of clinical systems so that usable information is available for research and education.
Provide administrative research services that are efficient, convenient and timely.
UCSF should ensure that administrative research services are as efficient, convenient and timely as possible so that investigators can meet the regulatory, financial and contractual requirements of conducting research.
Develop new mechanisms to fund needed investments in infrastructure, including ongoing maintenance and operating costs.
Existing UC systemwide formulas for allocating maintenance and operating funds to campuses do not account for UCSF's unique status as an exclusively health sciences campus. As a result, UCSF has been unable to adequately invest in technology and other key services needed to keep pace with competitors in all mission areas. UCSF should continue to encourage the UC Office of the President to use a more equitable formula for distributing UC-wide funds for campus infrastructure and develop new models of funding, including incentives and recharges. UCSF also should develop environmentally sustainable approaches for controlling operating costs by reducing energy consumption, recycling and using alternative sources of energy, among other efforts.
Groom and promote the next generation of UCSF leadership.
It is critical that UCSF develop the next generation of senior leadership for succession planning purposes. This will ensure that potential leaders have the necessary skills and experience when moving up the career ladder. Special attention must be paid to ensuring diversity among these potential leaders.
Establish a regular and transparent campuswide process for planning, budgeting and allocating resources.
UCSF should work to improve accountability and transparency, particularly regarding finances, to ensure that stewards of resources are better able to fulfill their responsibilities. UCSF also should align resource allocation and decisions with long-term strategic goals and needs identified in the UCSF Strategic Plan. The campus also should move toward performance-based resource allocation, which is a standard business practice that is already in place at UCSF Medical Center.
Develop a system and infrastructure for UCSF to proactively and reliably engage industry.
It is important for UCSF to build new alliances and partnerships with industry. These partnerships are irreplaceable in ensuring the expeditious and effective transfer of UCSF's discoveries into benefits for the public. Moreover, new expertise and funding will help the University to achieve its mission of advancing health worldwide.™
Expand and align the UCSF development campaigns with the priorities identified in the UCSF Strategic Plan.
UCSF must work to identify those strategic priorities that present fundraising opportunities, integrate those priorities into existing development plans, and expand the base of donors and prospective donors to help it realize its fundraising goals.

On the left is a bedroom with a splendid view of the mountains on the other side of the Orb valley. Turn right and cross the glassed-in bridge to the master bedroom with its en-suite bathroom, separate toilet and private terrace. Both rooms have wide double beds.
A third spacious bedroom with twin beds is reached by descending the stairs in the living room to the ground floor level. It always feels nice and cool.
The optional summer house stands in its own grounds near the main house. Furnished with a pull-out double bed, it is ideal for those who wish to enjoy the silence of Le Vernet to the full.
Guest Access
The guests have full access to the house, the terraces and garden.
The Neighborhood
Le Vernet is one of the hamlets that make up the "commune" of Combes. Twenty years ago Le Vernet was almost entirely uninhabited but since then it has revived thanks to the efforts of local enthusiasts and new arrivals. Le Vernet's position makes it an ideal place for a truly relaxing holiday in the warm sunshine of Southern France. It is perched on the flanks of Le Caroux, a vast and rocky outcrop that forms the southern tip of the Massif Central. As such the microclimate is influenced by the mountain air, so that the village never feels stuffy in hot weather.
Le Vernet is ideal for walkers and cyclists.
You can start by exploring the "Passa Païs" or "Voie Verte" - an 80 km long path suitable for cyclists and walkers that links Bédarieux and Mazamet. Following the route of the former railway line, it offers you a chance to take in the marvellous scenery of the Caroux and beyond without being disturbed by road traffic.
Bikes can be hired at various points along the route. Efforts have been made to establish refreshment stops, called 'Guinguette', along the route as well. These 'Guinguettes' also serve simple meals, although you should check the opening hours in advance to avoid disappointment.
Bike hire is available from Vélo d'Orb in Poujol-sur-Orb and from shops in Mons-la-Trivalle and Olargues. There are guinguettes at Poujol-sur-Orb and Saint-Martin de l'Arçon. Refreshments are available close to the Voie Verte in Mons-la-Trivalle and Olargues.
Alternatively the numerous forestry roads allow you to explore the immediate neighbourhood and discover the breathtaking views of the area. You might also see a deer, a mouflon, or, if you are very quiet, a wild boar... More adventurous walkers will enjoy walking on the Caroux or the Gorges d'Héric.
There are several fresh-water lakes in the area, where you can swim, canoe, sail or windsurf. A 45 minute drive brings you to the Mediterranean shore and its resorts and beaches.
There are abundant sports facilities in the area. You can play golf at nearby Lamalou-les-Bains (7 km), you can kayak at Tarassac, go horse riding, swim in the local streams or in the public baths at Lamalou, or simply fish in the river.
Getting around
Nearby airports : Montpellier, Carcassone or Béziers. Thalys and TGV to Montpellier. Car rental at the airport. The village of Poujol-sur-Orb (see map) is served by a bus line offering direct connections to Montpellier for the symbolic price of €1. You can rent bikes in Poujol and explore the 'Voie Verte'.
Car park at the bottom of the village.
Other Things to Note
Optional neighbouring summer cottage available for 2 extra guests. (not included in price).
No smoking indoors please.
La maison est magnifique, décorée avec soin, bine équipée, les lits très confortables. bref, un gîte à découvrir sans hésitation.
A lovely little hamlet, in a very quite and scenic part of France. The house is so nicely done, a proper home with everything you could need, so much better than a self catering commercial property.
Claire was very helpful, with lots of information available about the area and even tips on the weather for the week.
Highly recommended.
Attention !!! Cette maison est .... magique !
Tout d'abord , vous arrivez dans un hameau , petit , fait de maisons en pierre , accroché aux montagnes ...le site est magnifique offrant une multitude de randonnées très agréables ( notre préférée : les gorges de colombiere avec des piscines naturelles.... )
La maison est accueillante , joliment décorée . On se sent très rapidement chez soi , comme accueillis par des amis ( les placards ne sont pas cadenassés et bien sur c'est avec un immense respect , en retour, que nous prenons soin de ce lieu )
Cette demeure est très fonctionnelle et il ne manque rien ( sèche- cheveux , couteaux à huître et j'en passe ... , c'est bien simple , nous cherchons encore ce qu'il pourrait bien faire défaut...)
En résumé, nous reviendrons avec un immense plaisir dans ce havre de paix.
Ah oui , un dernier détail , nous avons écouté ...le silence , un silence absolu , dense... propice au rêve....
We loved our stay in this quiet place in the mountains - the house felt very special and had everything you could wish for.
The house is very comfortably appointed; quaint but plenty roomy enough for 6. It's in a gorgeous stone-built hamlet in the hills, so wonderfully quiet but you will need a car to get to shops etc. Beautiful views from the 2 terraces (a large one off the kitchen, a smaller one off the ensuite bedroom).The owner Claire was very engaging when we booked and keyholder Marie-Jo (French-speaking, no English) friendly and helpful. Many thanks for a lovely stay.
Passionate about fine food and linguistics.

Tawny Stitely's regular commute covers 40 miles from Calvert County, down on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay shore, into the Northern Virginia headquarters of the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA).
The new faces of teleworkPracticing what she preachesPioneering a home-based commandTrademark attorneys can call it in
But at least it's not a daily commute.
Stitely, a management analyst, can avoid that trip three days a week as a teleworker for the agency's manpower, personnel and security office.
AGENCY: Defense Information Systems Agency.
TELEWORKER POPULATION: 40 to 45 percent of 6,500-employee workforce teleworks one to three days a week or on an ad-hoc basis.
TYPES OF JOBS: All jobs at DISA are eligible for telework.
TELEWORK GEAR: Laptop secured by a built-in smart card reader with access to enterprise systems via virtual private network; collaboration tools include Defense Connect Online and e-CollabCenter service.
Her job involves processing electronic documents to bring new people on board and effect individual promotions, among other personnel moves.
To accomplish that work, Stitely taps into the Corporate Management Information System, which provides data on employee types and billeting, and the Defense Civil Personnel Data System, which processes documents for hiring and position- description changes. DISA teleworkers such as Stitely use laptops with built-in Common Access Card smart-card readers for authentication and access enterprise systems via a virtual private network.
Stitely, who works at DISA's Arlington facility on Tuesdays and Thursdays, said she finds no difference between office work and telework. "I'm doing the…same job here at headquarters that I do when teleworking," she said.
Stitely is among the estimated 40 to 45 percent of DISA's 6,500-employee population who telework one to three days a week. Three days per week is the maximum DISA currently allows. The practice could become more prominent with the agency's pending move to Fort Meade, Md., which is 35 miles north of the Arlington, Va., offices. A result of the most recent Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) action, the move will affect about 4,000 DISA employees and is slated to begin in late 2010 or early 2011.
As new hires and long-time employees go the telework route, DISA aims to keep the lines of communication open through collaboration tools. Aaron Glover, special assistant to the director of manpower, personnel and security at DISA, said the organization offers two such tools: Defense Connect Online and the e-CollabCenter. DISA provides training to managers and employees on the tools and their usefulness in teleworking.
Stitely said DISA's e-CollabCenter is pressed into service for all-hands meetings.
The collaboration service provides IBM's Sametime for Web conferencing and instant messaging. "Everyone can participate and see what is going on," she said. Online participants can send questions via instant messaging, and an onsite coordinator relays those questions to the presenter.
The presence aspect of instant messaging, which shows when people are at their computers, also lets managers keep track of the employees on hand at any given time, whether those employees are in-office or teleworking. Stitely said her supervisor requires teleworkers to be logged on to instant messaging during the workday.
Jack Penkoske, director of manpower, personnel and security at DISA, said the agency's telework program would move forward even without BRAC. He called telework "a huge positive for us" because 72 percent of DISA's workforce lives in Northern Virginia.
"Some may not want to move up to Fort Meade, so they have an option" to telework, he said. "We think that is going to keep a larger percentage of the individuals with us." What's more, Penkoske said, the flexibility of telework should serve as a recruitment tool for attracting new employees.

FirstEnergy Stadium renovation is on schedule and on budget; new video boards to arrive Tuesday (with photo gallery)
Originally Published:

Modified: June 16, 2014 11:57 PM
Browns president Alec Scheiner led the media on a tour of under-renovation FirstEnergy Stadium on Monday, June 16.
Cleveland Browns president Alec Scheiner donned an orange helmet-themed hard hat as he led the media around under-renovation FirstEnergy Stadium on Monday afternoon, June 16.
There were 204 workers onsite Monday, and some very big arrivals are on the way tomorrow.
On Tuesday, the first shipment of the new video boards will arrive from Brookings, S.D. — home of
, which is manufacturing the scoreboards, sponsor displays and LED ribbon boards.
The 40x192 video boards, which will be located in each end zone, will be the NFL's fourth-largest in 2014 and are nearly triple the size of the former scoreboards.
"Once they come in, they should be fully operational," Scheiner said of the scoreboards. "I don't know the exact dates, but toward the end of this month they'll come in and they'll be up and running very shortly after that. These guys went out to South Dakota and visited the boards. They're already functional. Then you just kind of put it together."
The first phase of the
$120 million renovation
began after the 2013 season.
Scheiner said the project is "on time, on budget."
The scoreboards — which the team president said will be "a sight to behold" — will be the marquee attraction, but the Browns believe the other facets of the renovation, including a new audio system, increased lower-bowl seating capacity, sponsor decks and new escalators, are every bit as crucial.
"I have the luxury of going to every NFL stadium around the league," Scheiner said. "And one thing you notice, when the video boards and audio systems work really well together, the impact is huge. And when you're in a stadium that's outdated, you almost feel like you're missing something. I think, ultimately, we're going to look back and say, 'That was a huge upgrade for the fan experience.' I think it will be massive. I think people will feel a totally different way about coming to Browns games."
Turner Construction
of Cleveland is the general contractor of the two-year project, which was designed by Los Angeles-based
. The Browns said they have removed more than 5.5 million pounds of materials, installed more than 2 million pounds of steel and poured more than 13.3 million pounds of concrete in the past five-plus months.
The renovation will reduce the seating capacity at FirstEnergy Stadium to 68,000 from 72,000. The first phase will be ready in time for the team's preseason opener on Aug. 23 against the Chicago Bears, and Scheiner said the Browns still are holding out hope that they will be able to host the annual Family Night scrimmage during training camp at the stadium.
When asked how many years the team and city, which is chipping in $30 million, were adding to the life of the 15-year-old stadium by spending nine figures on renovations, Scheiner said FirstEnergy Stadium "hadn't really been touched for about 15 years."
"So we're really just trying to get it back up to par in the NFL," Scheiner said. "We don't spend much time figuring out how many years we're adding. We just want to make sure it's a really good experience for our fans, and we think next year (the 2014 season) it will be."
