Rodong Sinmun Calls for Opening New Phase of Independent Reunification
| Pyongyang, January 4 (KCNA) -- "Let all Koreans in the north, south and abroad join efforts and bring a new phase of independent reunification!" This is a slogan set forth in the joint New Year editorial.
The slogan reflects the firm faith in the united efforts of the Korean nation, driving force for national reunification, and bright future of the nation to be shaped by them, said Rodong Sinmun in a bylined article Tuesday.
All the Koreans in the north and the south and abroad should turn out in the patriotic drive for independent reunification true to the militant slogan to fulfill the responsibility and duty they have assumed before the nation, said the article, adding:
This patriotic slogan reflects the desire and will of the Koreans and the requirement of the times.
The most urgent task in defending and realizing independence of the nation is to reunify the divided country as soon as possible.
For the Koreans, reunification precisely means patriotism.
The basic duty for them this year is to bring a new phase of independent reunification.
No one can replace the Korean nation in reunifying the country and its wisdom, will and strength serve as a source for ushering in the bright dawn of reunification.
Every Korean should dedicate strength, contribute knowledge and donate money, anything he or she has, for reunification.

Dry January - Teetotal celebrities
Posted: January 03, 2014|
Television and radio presenter Fearne Cotton, 32, gave up alcohol five years ago and although she admits she wasn't a big drinker in the first place, says she has felt "brilliant" since quitting.
Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe became teetotal in 2010 after become concerned about how much he was drinking and the effect it had on him. In a magazine interview at the time he said he blacked out almost every time he got drunk.
Former spin doctor Alastair Campbell realised he had an alcohol problem in 1986, caused by his stressful job as a Fleet Street journalist, and gave up drinking. In 2012 he presented an edition of Panorama entitled Britain's Hidden Alcoholics, and his latest book My Name Is... tells the story of a 17-year-old battling alcohol addiction.

Mice make signposts out of leaves and twigs so that they do not get lost in fields, new research shows.
This behaviour surprised Pavel Stopka and David Macdonald, who were studying wood mice captured near their laboratory at the University of Oxford, UK. Primates and some birds are known to use sticks and stones to place markers within their territory. "But no-one would expect mice to be so clever," says Stopka.
The excellent navigational abilities of the wood mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus) have been extensively studied, but their way-marking trick had remained undiscovered until now. The latest work suggests the mice move objects to mark sites that interest them, perhaps because they are abundant in food or a quick route back to their burrow.
As the mice explore the area around the object, explains Stopka, they regularly rear up on their tiny back legs to look for their signpost, and dart back towards it before moving away in a different direction.
Statistical link
The researchers analysed this behaviour in a laboratory by keeping eight wood mice, four male and four female, in a two-by-two metre enclosure. Ten white plastic discs, each five centimetres across, were placed in the centre of the arena.
The mice appeared to play with the discs, moving them around. But a statistical analysis of their movements, based on continuous videos of their behaviour, revealed a strong link between their movements and the position of the discs. They seemed to be using the discs as markers to orient themselves in the otherwise featureless box.
Marc Jamon from the Institute of Physiological and Cognitive Neurosciences in Marseille, France, has also studied the trail-following ability of wood mice and says: "The observation is very interesting and deserves to be tested further."
But he also suggests an alternative explanation: "Possibly the discs are the only objects to explore and are competitively moved by different animals."
Very bland
The wood mice might need to use signposts because the fields where they live are very bland - one patch of ploughed field looks much like another, says Stopka. And while some other mice use scent markers, wood mice are wholly visual, says Stopka: "They have big eyes."
Piles of leaves, twigs and even shells have been associated with wood mice before, but it was assumed they were used to hide nest-holes. The first hint of their function as signposts came when one group of mice escaped from their laboratory box.
Stopka says: "One dug a hole through the side, and the last one out marked it with a leaf. We repaired the hole - but when we put them back in they still ran towards the leaf."

Lemonade Stand Sensory Play
Activity DesignerNicole Duggan
159 Projects
"Lemonade! Get your fresh lemonade!" Explore, pretend, and create with this Lemonade Stand Sensory Table.
What You'll Need
- water
- lemons - cut into slices
- spoons, cups, and bowls
- yellow food coloring (optional)
- ice (optional)
How We Did It
To prepare for the lemonade stand sensory table, I filled our sand table with water, sliced a few lemons, and gathered cups, spoons, pitchers, and ladles. If you don't have a sand or water table, you can use a large container filled with water or even a baby pool. You can also add ice and a little bit of yellow food coloring (optional).
The kids squeezed the lemons into the water and mixed. This was a huge sensory experience. I don't know if they've ever had a piece of fruit in their hands just to squeeze the juice out of it or mash it up. The smell was powerful and they felt like they were making real lemonade.
I added ice and they continued to squeeze the lemons and "make" lemonade. My 6 year old son started a game of "Who can catch the lemon in their ladle?".

Series Preview: Mets Play Four In L.A.
The Mets begin a four-game series with the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight at 10:10 EDT.
The Mets get the Dodgers at a very good time. Los Angeles is fading fast, losing 11 of 15 and eight of nine. The Dodgers started out fast, at one time having the best record in baseball and blowing away the rest of their division. They are now on the verge of losing the NL West lead to the Giants.
The Dodgers are a team similar to the Mets when it comes to offense. They can't hit home runs and are 29th in baseball in that category. However, they are good at getting on base, much like the Mets. They are in the top ten in on-base percentage as well as walks.
While their offense may be sub-par, the Dodger pitching staff is terrific. They rank in the top five in ERA, quality starts, and batting average against, among others. They have a very good bullpen, led by up-and-coming closer Kenley Jansen.
Here are the pitching matchups for this series:
Game 1- Tonight 10:10
Chris Young (1-1, 3.42 ERA) vs. Chris Capuano (9-2, 2.60 ERA)
Game 2- Friday 10:10
R.A. Dickey (11-1, 2.31 ERA) vs. Aaron Harang (5-4, 3.81 ERA)
Game 3- Saturday 7:15
Johan Santana (5-4, 3.00 ERA) vs. Nathan Eovaldi (0-4, 4.04 ERA)
Game 4- Sunday 8:10
Dillon Gee (5-6, 4.42 ERA) vs. Clayton Kershaw (5-4, 2.74 ERA)
- Andre Ethier left yesterday's game with a left oblique injury. It's unclear how long he will be out.
- If you are unaware, Matt Kemp has been out for quite a while with a hamstring injury that has been repeatedly flaring up. If he was healthy, he would be a deadly force in that lineup. Another break for the Mets in this series…
- How about that Chris Capuano? The lefty, who wanted a two-year deal from the Mets, decided not to sign on for one year, and instead went to Los Angeles. He has been incredible. He has a 2.60 ERA, compared to his career mark of 4.23. He also has a 1.13 WHIP along with a .221 batting average against.

I don't think there is a difference in the way the bike goes into corners, doesn't feel sharper or quicker in that regard. If there is a difference, without an A to B comparison with an unmodified Tiger I would say everything I might "feel" could be imagination.
What I do feel and where I'm certain it's not just imagination is that it does have a less pronounced tendency to go wide in curves. The Roadie always gave me the feeling that I had to push it a bit more, correct a the line slightly, when going through longer curves where you are leaned over for a longer time. This seems to be much less pronounced for me. Very happy with that.
Also, when I was out today I did not scratch the pegs in the corners I typically touched down before. Probably just a matter of time to get there again, but the added clearance certainly helps feeling a bit better about it.
So, overall money well spent (roughly $100).
Unfortunately the ride today showed me even more that I need to get something done to the front suspension ...

Men's Basketball: Murray to USA Training Camp
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Including five players with prior USA Basketball experience, 22 of the nation's top collegiate athletes have accepted invitations from the USA Basketball Men's Junior National Team Committee to attend the 2011 USA Basketball Men's World University Games Team training camp.
The training camp, which will be held July 29-Aug. 7 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center (USOTC) in Colorado Springs, Colo., will be used to select the 12-member team that will represent the USA at the 2011 World University Games men's basketball competition Aug. 13-23 in Shenzhen, China.
The USA Basketball Men's Junior National Team Committee, chaired by NCAA representative Jim Boeheim (head coach, Syracuse University), is expected on July 31 to announce finalists for the 2011 USA World University Games Team. Training camp will continue July 31-Aug. 7 at the USOTC, with the official roster being announced prior to the teams' departure for China on Aug. 8.
"After a lot of thought and consideration of potential players, the committee has put together a very strong roster for the USA Men's World University Games Team training camp," said Boeheim. "As always, the committee will be looking for not only the most talented players, but also players that will work well as a team."
Accepting invitations to attend the 2011 USA Basketball World University Games Team training camp were: Tim Abromaitis (Notre Dame/Unionville, Conn.); Bradford Burgess (VCU/Midlothian, Va.); Marcus Denmon (Missouri/Kansas City, Mo.); Kim English (Missouri/Baltimore, Md.); Yancy Gates (Cincinnati/ Cincinnati, Ohio); Ashton Gibbs (Pittsburgh/Scotch Plains, N.J.); Draymond Green (Michigan State/Saginaw, Mich.); JaMychal Green (Alabama/Montgomery, Ala.); Tu Holloway (Xavier/Hempstead, N.Y.); Scoop Jardine (Syracuse/Philadelphia, Pa.); John Jenkins (Vanderbilt/Hendersonville, Tenn.); Orlando Johnson (UC Santa Barbara/Seaside, Calif.); Greg Mangano (Yale/Orange, Conn.); Trevor Mbakwe (Minnesota/St. Paul, Minn.); C.J. McCollum (Lehigh/Canton, Ohio); Khris Middleton (Texas A&M/North Charleston, S.C.); Darius Miller (Kentucky/Maysville, Ky.); Tony Mitchell (Alabama/Swainsboro, Ga.); Aaric Murray (West Virginia/Philadelphia, Pa.); Alex Oriakhi (Connecticut/Lowell, Mass.); John Shurna (Northwestern/Glen Ellyn, Ill.); and Jordan Taylor (Wisconsin/ Bloomington, Minn.).
Purdue University head coach Matt Painter, who previously assisted the 2009 USA U19 World Championship Team to a gold medal, has been selected as head coach of the 2011 USA Men's World University Games Team, while collegiate head coaches Cuonzo Martin of the University of Tennessee and Brad Stevens of Butler University were named as assistant coaches.
Five of the players possess prior USA Basketball experience. Jardine and Shurna were members of the USA Select Team that trained against the USA Men's National Team in 2010 in Las Vegas.
Gibbs, Miller and Shurna helped the USA to a gold medal and 9-0 record at the 2009 FIBA U19 World Championship, and JaMychal Green was a member of the 2008 U.S. team that captured a 4-1 record and silver medal at the 2008 FIBA Americas U18 Championship.
The training camp roster features two players – Abromaitis and Jardine – who will graduate in 2011 with remaining eligibility, 14 athletes from the class of 2012 and six athletes who will graduate in 2013.
Nine NCAA conferences are represented on the training roster, including six schools from the Big East Conference, four schools from the Big Ten Conference, three programs from the Southeastern Conference (SEC), two schools from the Big 12 Conference and one program apiece from the Atlantic 10 Conference, Big West Conference, the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA), the Ivy League and the Patriot League.
Sixteen players earned individual recognition from their respective conferences following the 2010-11 season, including the Atlantic 10 Player of the Year Holloway, the Big East Defensive Player of the Year Taylor and the Big East Scholar Athlete of the Year Abromaitis.
Listing on their conference first teams were: Denmon (Big 12), Gibbs (Big East), JaMychal Green (SEC), Holloway (Atlantic 10), Jenkins (SEC), Johnson (Big West), Mangano (Ivy League), McCollum (Patriot League) and Taylor (Big Ten).
Second team members included Mbawke (Big Ten), Middleton (Big 12) and Mitchell (SEC); third team selections were Abromaitis (Big East), Draymond Green (Big Ten), Marshall (ACC) and Shurna (Big Ten); and Jardine (Big East) was honorable mention.
Taylor (Big East) was an all-defensive selection, and Miller (SEC) was his conference tournament's MVP.
In addition to Boeheim, the 2009-12 USA Basketball Men's Junior National Committee includes NCAA appointees Lorenzo Romar (head coach, University of Washington), Bruce Weber (head coach, University of Illinois) and Roy Williams (head coach, University of North Carolina); and athlete representative Jay Williams, a member of the 2002 USA World Championship Team.

She received a new iPod because her Mini was acting up, not charging, and pretty much not functioning at all. I decided to take matters into my own hands to fix that sucker. At first I thought it was a battery problem, so I tried to replace the battery, but that worked to no avail.
So, I thought up the crazy plan of taking my Dell DJ (broken screen) micro drive , and replace it with the 4GB one that she had in her Mini.
So this Instructable is teaching you how to open your iPod, and replace the micro drive with a better micro drive, and in my case, it added an extra GB to the iPod Mini.
If you finish this Instructable, go to my continuation: http://www.instructables.com/id/Microdrive-Madness-15-solution-for-your-extra-mi/
So here we go!
- One tip, when you take off the top of your iPod, use an adults help like I did, because they can help you pry the top off. I had my dad help me, and it worked great!
Step 1: Materials
- iPod Mini
- Flat-head Screwdriver
- iTunes
- Mac/PC
- Any other micro drive that can fit into the pins that the old micro drive fit in to.
Step 2: Opening up iPod
- Take your screwdriver, and try to put it in between the edge of the metal and the plastic
- Jiggle it a few times to get it firmly below the plastic and metal casing
- Pry up the plastic as best you can. Jiggle it some more, but it will eventually come off.
- There is a little bit of glue, so it will take a few minuted to get this process done.
- Do this to both the top and bottom white plastic pieces.
Good instructable, but anyone looking to upgrade their iPod Mini should really look into upgrading it with flash instead of another hd - unless of course you already have a HD laying around. You can now get an 4GB card for about $40 and an 8GB for about $70.
2nd, do not use a screwdriver to open your iPod!!! No matter how careful you are, you will leave marks in the plastic cover and/or the metal case.
see my instructable HEREto see how to open it without leaving any marks.

I had some time today and spent it in the National Portrait Gallery.
I was particularly interested in the National Photographic Portrait Prize 2013 as I had gone last year and thought this year would be an interesting contrast. Also depending on how my own photography improves this year and if I have anything I feel worthy I'd like to enter some competitions this year so why not aim for the moon.
As I walked around the exhibition I found several pieces that caught my attention, I initially stated taking notes in Evernote on my iPad which seemed to take forever and really took the focus away from what I liked so I started taking Photos of the Description Plaques (I wonder if they have real names) even while security staff stood next to me, so I figured it was cool. After all the alternative is write down everything they say while others wait for you to move on.
I totally understand why the portraits are protected and honestly who in their right mind would take a photo in the gallery when images of this quality are available on the galleries web site (note I am linking these images to that source not making my own copy here. So if the gallery takes them down they will not appear here either) but the descriptions really?? Anyway a different guard came up to me and said "No Photography" I asked the portraits I understand but I'm recording the plaques for later reference is that okay? His response "No Photography, in this Gallery". Seemed he didn't want to engage in answering my question to my satisfaction and I didn't want to engage him in a way that would ruin my day so closed the cover and continued on my visit. I would be super keen to hear opinion from someone who knows the answer because I'd really like to be able to look further into pieces and do the preliminary work as efficiently as possible.
Now the exhibit itself…, as I walked around I saw a lot that really caught me eye and even a couple of oh wow moments and I think I was not even close to what the judges thought and that's fine. I wonder if there is scope for an education session covering what the panel looks for and how they came to their choices I think it would be really interesting. If this already happens I'd be keen to find out how to get notified of it happening.
These are my favourites from today and why I liked them its possible I'm Robinson Crusoe in my choices too.

I enjoy this photo because it is a photo of the Actor Rowan Atkinson and truly not Mr Bean. I photograph lots of people, displaying their alter ego many of whom I don't think I'd recognise in real life.

I love the lighting, it makes for a beautiful photo. My eyes are completely drawn to her eyes, even though they are easily lost in shadow. This does not strike me as a brave photo of an older woman as the photographer suggests it is just a beautiful photo.

These words have been the joyful Easter proclamation of the Church since our Lord Jesus Christ broke the chains of death and rose triumphant from the grave. There are so many places in our world that need to know the power of the resurrection. There are so many difficult situations of conflict that continue to test our faith, and seek to deny our trust in the Lord. These wonderful days of Easter remind us that the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ fills our pain with hope, fills our suffering with God's promise, fills our doubt with trust, and fills death with new life. May the unfolding of these Easter days bring to our homes, to our lives and to all places of conflict in our world peace and joy! I pray that all the blessings of these Easter days will be yours in great abundance! Alleluia!!!

Senior Captain Brings Diverse Team Together
May 6, 2010
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - --Written by Jeremy Rosenthal
The Indiana University women's tennis team brings together players from France, Russia, England and Portugal. Only two student-athletes are from the U.S.
One of those is senior captain Lindsey Stuckey, who hails from Greensboro, N.C.
As a leader of the team, Stuckey has helped with the adjustment of the international players, including junior Myriam Sopel, a native of Longnes, France.
When Sopel was a freshman and Stuckey a sophomore, Stuckey took a couple French classes, and practiced the language with Sopel. Sopel said she appreciated the connection in relation to her native language and that Stuckey helped her adjust to life on and off the tennis court.
"Lindsey helped me grow on the court as a tennis player and as a person," Sopel said. "When I came as a freshman, she was a sophomore and she provided support and affection when I needed it."
Growing up in North Carolina, Stuckey started playing tennis at age 7, along with basketball and soccer, until she decided to focus solely on tennis at the age of 14.
"I made it my everyday routine where I would go to the tennis courts for an hour and then spend the rest of the day at the pool with my friends," Stuckey said.
The work paid off for Stuckey, as she made the varsity team for Greensboro Day School as a seventh grader, and was the top player all four years of high school.
Initially Stuckey hoped to continue her tennis career at currently No. 1 ranked North Carolina at Chapel Hill, but her parents, who both went to Ohio State, encouraged her to look at other schools as well.
IU coach Lin Loring, who holds the record for most wins in Division I history, did not recruit Stuckey at first. It was Stuckey who e-mailed Loring to express her interest. After he saw her play, Loring noticed her pace off both sides, a solid forehand and backhand and good foot speed and wanted her to visit.
Stuckey, who intended to major in finance, knew IU had a great business school and decided to spend her next four years in Bloomington. Coming from a class size of 65 in high school to a class size of 7,000 at IU was not easy.
"I came here and did not know anyone," she said. "It was all new. It was a little bit of an adjustment, but I felt like I loved it from the very start."
Pursuing a major in the prestigious Kelley School of Business and playing tennis at IU have been good experiences for Stuckey.
"I think the tennis helps you stay on top of your academics, because you have to have good time management skills," she said. "You have to get things done first, and then you can do your leisurely stuff second. You have to stay on top of things if you want to be in collegiate athletics, because your schedule is so busy."
On the court, Stuckey has led the team in singles wins in three of her four years, including a mark of 26-9 this year. She has also teamed with sophomore Evgeniya Vertesheva, a native of Perm, Russia, for a 15-5 record in doubles matches. Off the court she has helped the team win the Herbert Cup four semesters in a row, which goes to the team with the highest grade point average.
The sport of tennis can be emotional and intense, but Stuckey said she tries to not let a previous point affect her play on future points. Loring said this helps her and draws a comparison to one of the games best.
"She keeps it within and plays level-headed, and normally does not have the big swings in emotion, keeps her game a little steadier," he said. "She is a lot like Federer in the sense that she is pretty calm and collected out there. She is easy to coach because of that."
With her IU tennis career coming to a close in the next few weeks, Stuckey has a bright future ahead of her. Next fall, she will be working for Ernst & Young in Chicago as a business advisor.
One of her former teammates, Alba Berdala, also works for a marketing firm in Chicago, and Stuckey hopes to catch up with her. Having so many foreign teammates gives her an excuse to go on a tour of Europe to visit them.
Loring said Stuckey's experience at the Kelley School of Business and on the tennis team, have prepared her well for the next step in her life.
"The fact that she works well in a team situation, which is what businesses are looking for these days, she is used to being part of a team," he said. "She is used to being the leader of a team. She will be very successful in the business world."
For Stuckey, leaving IU will be sad, but she will always cherish the time she had in Bloomington.
"There is something about IU, the atmosphere, the people," Stuckey said. "I think I will remember most, not necessarily the wins and losses of tennis, but being a part of a team. I think it's been a really great experience playing on behalf of Indiana University."
Although she will be departing, her teammates will remember her for helping blend together many different people.
"Lindsey is one of the few American players on our team," Sopel said. "As a senior captain, she handled the diversity and the differences of cultures well, and she brought the team together."

The Voice's De'Borah Garner on Coming Out and the Nickname "Mini Ellen"
Though her sound continues to impress us, it's De'Borah Garner's quirky style and infectious personality that has us coming back for more each week on The Voice Season 3.
De'Borah's outspoken views and openness on national television about her sexuality have inspired audiences and even coach Adam Levine to tears.
Not only does she use her pipes to wow the coaches, but she's also committed to using her voice to speak up on behalf of the gay community. With tomorrow being National Coming Out Day, De' Borah, who admitted she was gay for the first time in her blind audition episode, is committed to standing alongside those who want to do the same.
Wetpaint Entertainment caught up with the eccentric singer a few days after her victorious battle against fellow Team Christina contestant Nelly's Echo. The singer provided some words of wisdom to those who have yet to come out.
"I've been in your shoes," she said "We can hold hands and walk through this together."
It looks like she's learning a thing or two about being a mentor from Xtina.
And speaking of shoes, De'Borah has some pretty stylish ones. We were really digging her Monday night performance outfit, and she tells us we aren't the only ones.
At home, her family calls her "Mini Ellen" in reference to the openly gay talk show host Ellen Degeneres. Not a bad celebrity doppelganger if you ask us!
What do you think of De'Borah's style and willingness to speak about her sexuality? Weigh in below!

Welcome! We are committed to recruiting and retaining a world-class workforce for the American people.
Let us know when you like our messages by giving the thumbs up and sharing our information. You can connect with Director Archuleta on Twitter: @OPMDirector and Facebook.com/OPMDirector. Also, find us on other social media channels.
The second open enrollment period for the Affordable Care Act ends on February 15. These next three weeks are critical if we are to get as many still uninsured Americans as possible signed up for quality and affordable health care.
This is something I am passionate about. I am doing all I can to encourage Americans, especially Latinos, to go to healthcare.gov and find the right plans for them. That is why earlier today I joined with Mayor Vaughn Spencer of Reading, Pennsylvania to help him spread the word.
As of January 9, nearly 6.8 million Americans have either signed up for a new plan or were re-enrolled in a plan through the Federal Marketplace. Yet, there are many who are still without health coverage.
Let's take a look at Pennsylvania. In the Keystone State, 8 percent of residents still do not have health insurance. More than 100,000 Latinos remain uninsured. In the state, 15 insurance companies are offering more than 125 plans. So there is plenty of choice. And the good news is, there is financial assistance available to help with the premiums. More than 81 percent of people insured through the Marketplace in Pennsylvania are getting financial help. And now that Pennsylvania has joined many other states and expanded its Medicaid program, an additional 600,000 people are eligible for Medicaid. That's lifesaving support.
The ACA has fundamentally changed our health care system. Children can remain on their parents' policies until the age of 26. People can get the preventive and wellness care they need to keep small illnesses from turning into serious health problems. And individuals with serious illnesses and pre-existing conditions can't be denied coverage or dropped from health plans when they get sick.
Insurance is important. You never know when an accident or serious illness may hit. The peace of mind of knowing you and your loved ones are covered and that you won't go into bankruptcy as a result of something you can't control is priceless.
So I'm hoping Federal employees will help spread the word in the coming days. Make sure your family, friends, and acquaintances don't miss out on the chance to have the coverage they need.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a strong believer in service to others and to our nation. That is why every January, in honor of his birthday, hundreds of thousands of Americans come together for a National Day of Service to recognize Dr. King's life and legacy.
As public servants, Federal employees already know the power of working for others. The MLK Day of Service gives us an opportunity to come together with family, friends, and neighbors to give something back to our communities and to those less fortunate than we are.
Every day, I see firsthand the incredible generosity of Federal employees. Every summer, they give hundreds of thousands of pounds of canned goods and other non-perishable items to food pantries at times when it's needed most. And they donate millions of dollars to charities through the annual Combined Federal Campaign. So I know service to others is hardly a difficult sell to our Federal family.
That is why I hope many of you will find some way to volunteer in your community on Monday, January 19. Visit www.mlkday.gov to find a project that interests you or to promote your own. Opportunities in communities all across the country range from tutoring students and mentoring at-risk youth to working to protect the environment to assisting veterans and the military. I know that everyone can find a service project that matches his or her interests, time, and abilities.
By putting the core American principles of citizenship and service into action and by addressing local challenges, together we can help make our country a better place.
I hope that the MLK Day of Service can be the spark that leads people to get involved in their communities all year long. During the past year, more than 1-in-4 Americans did volunteer work. Altogether, 62.6 million Americans gave nearly 7.7 billion hours of their time, which represented an estimated economic value of $173 billion. That's incredibly powerful. Become a part of that movement. Take the MLK Day Challenge and pledge to serve not only one day, but throughout the entire year by visiting www.serve.gov.
"Everyone can be great because everyone can serve," Dr. King said of the value of giving back. Help us to continue to celebrate that legacy. Even one day of community service can make a difference.
Enjoy your day!
At OPM, our Retirement Services staff works hard each and every day to provide the best customer service we can to our Federal retirees and their families. I know that as tax season approaches and the new cost of living increases take effect, many of our annuitants have questions.
I also know that the phone lines to RS can be especially busy now. So I want to make sure you know about our Services Online website. This portal is easy to navigate and allows retirees to access their retirement accounts 24/7. Retirees can update mailing addresses and change their Federal and state income tax withholding. We're always updating this website, based in large part on your feedback and requests. For example, retirees can now request a duplicate annuity booklet from Services Online. Also new is a feature that allows retirees to look at and print their Retirement Services ID Cards.
Signing up is easy. If you have a Civil Service Annuity or Civil Service Final Number, you can use this portal. Once you're on the login page, you can request a password by email or regular mail and set up your account. You will then have immediate access to Services Online.
If you want to get an early start on filing your taxes, you can go to Services Online and print your 1099R, the form retirees need to complete their filings. The system also includes information from the past two years if you need previous tax information. Otherwise, watch your mailbox. The 1099R forms for 2014 will be mailed by January 30, 2015.
As I said, there's a new cost of living, or COLA, rate. It was reflected in the January 2, 2015 payments. The COLA increase was 1.7 percent for retirees. The full increase is paid to retirees who began receiving retirement payments on or before December 30, 2014. You can get more information about the COLA increases on our website.
As always, we look forward to continuing to serve our retirees and their families. We appreciate and are thankful for their years of dedication to public service. We are always looking for new and innovative ways to provide more accessibility for our annuitants to get the information they need, when they need it.
Let us know how we can better serve you. And stay tuned, there's more to come.
The 2014 Time Magazine Person of the Year is actually a group of people – brave women and men from around the world who are fighting the deadly Ebola virus. And Federal employees are right in the middle of this important battle.
In naming the Ebola fighters the Person of the Year, the magazine editors said; "The rest of the world can sleep at night because a group of men and women are willing to stand and fight." They are being recognized, the editors said, "For tireless acts of courage and mercy, for buying the world time to boost its defenses, for risking, for persisting, for sacrificing and saving."
It came as no surprise to me that hundreds of Federal employees are a part of the global Ebola effort. Time named three outstanding individuals who have been key players. Nancy Sullivan and Gary Nabel, virologists at the U.S. National Institutes of Health, have spent the past decade working on an Ebola vaccine that is now in clinical trials. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Thomas Frieden pushed for CDC teams to be allowed to help with the Ebola response in West Africa. Because of Frieden's effort, the CDC is making a big difference in this fight.
And right here in the United States, hundreds of Federal employees are making sure our health care professionals are ready to treat Ebola victims. Nearly 100 NIH nurses, doctors, and hospital staff cared for Texas nurse Nina Pham while she was recovering from the virus. And thanks to the work of NIH and CDC researchers, we're close to a large-scale clinical trial.
We're truly leading the way. This is the largest-ever U.S. response to a global health threat.
President Obama put it best: "We've got hundreds of Americans from across the country –- nurses, doctors, public health workers, soldiers, engineers, mechanics -– who are putting themselves on the front lines of this fight," the President said during a White House celebration of U.S. Ebola fighters. "They represent citizenship, and patriotism, and public service at its best. They make huge sacrifices to protect this country that we love. And when they come home, they deserve to be treated properly. They deserve to be treated like the heroes that they are."
This is what I mean when I talk about our incredible purpose-driven workforce. You are the standard of dedicated, passionate, and selfless public servants. And I know better than most that the recognition these scientists received from Time reflects the work of scores of public health officials across the country who have volunteered to aid in this fight. It's an example of the service the American people can count on from Federal employees each and every day.
Thank you for all you did in 2014. Here's to an even better 2015. I wish you and your loved ones a Happy New Year!

All around the world, this is the day children try to stay up as late as they can, hoping to catch a glimpse of Santa Claus as he makes his way to their house.
Did you know that thanks to the Federal government's North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), youngsters can figure out just when to turn their eyes skyward? NORAD's Santa Tracker will let them know when Santa and his sleigh are approaching. While they are waiting, Santa watchers can also call the Santa hotline – 877-HI-NORAD – to make any last-minute gift requests. Those that are too shy to call the big guy can send a note to his personal email address.
I'd like to share with you the interesting story behind NORAD's Santa Tracker. This Santa watch started with a simple misprint in a Sears Department Store ad and a kind-hearted member of the military.
In 1955, Col. Harry Shoup was stationed at the Continental Air Defense Command. The office, which is now NORAD, had two phones – a regular line and one of the top-secret red phones that rings at times of national emergency.
One night Col. Shoup's red phone rang. The colonel answered it, and heard a child at the other end asking for Santa. At first Shoup was angry, thinking it was a prank. But the child's mother explained that the obviously wrong number was printed in a Sears ad that encouraged children to call Santa and ask for their gifts.
The colonel decided to have a little fun. He put together a team to answer the inevitable calls that started to flood in as a result of the ad. Eventually, he came up with the idea of calling radio stations and alerting DJs to the location of Santa's sleigh. The stations would then call in regularly for updates. Shoup became known as Col. Santa, and the tradition carried on, year after year. Thanks to a recent story on National Public Radio and interviews with the late colonel's grown children, we have the details of this endearing story.
Today, NORAD continues to track Santa and his reindeer. Volunteers man the hotline – though it is no longer a top-secret number – and update the world on Santa's progress through Christmas Eve. It just goes to show that Federal employees – both military and civilian – have some of the coolest jobs. It also shows how a little innovation and imagination can go a long way.
The Department of Defense's Press Secretary, Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby, says that "every indication is that Santa Claus will arrive on time this year to deliver presents to the world's estimated 1.9 billion children" and that NORAD is "tuning up the Santa-tracking system" this year. NoradSanta.org now shows the countdown until Santa takes to the skies. Kirby also assures us that the anti-Grinch firewall is up and monitoring for threats and that NORAD has verified the load-bearing capacity of all rooftops. Their infrared detecting satellites are even calibrated to see Rudolph's nose. That's what I call cutting-edge technology.
Join us in tracking Santa this year. And I hope that you and your loved ones have a safe, happy, and restful holiday season.

AT LEAST nine people in Denmark have developed a dangerous, drug-resistant form of TB in the past three years, reports a hospital in Copenhagen. Most of the patients are not Danish, or are Danes who picked up the disease while abroad. The WHO says the number is "surprisingly large" for a European country.
Kaj Viskum, head of the Resistant Tuberculosis Treatment Centre at the Bispebjerg Hospital in Copenhagen, says drug-resistant strains have evolved mainly in Asia and Africa because of "poor treatment" of normal TB. "It occurs generally where a patient has not taken medicine correctly, or has not been supervised during a course of drugs," he explains.
The WHO estimates that up to 50 million people worldwide are infected with drug-resistant TB. An outbreak in Italy in 1992 infected at least 30 people. Britain had its first case last year.

I just returned from a great trip (2 weeks ago) to the Disneyland resort. I went with 2 close friends for 5 days. We all live here in Orlando and we were very excited, of course, to see the original park. We spent the first 2 days at Disneyland and I fell in love with the place. It is hard to not compare parks because they contain the same formula. But also they both feel so different to me (it was a weird sensation but kinda cool too!). I personally think Disneyland is generally more magical than our Magic Kingdom. Something struck me about the way it felt so packed with stuff in every inch of space I liked that element very much. We just went to our Magic Kingdom here in WDW yesterday. We actually had a great time talking about the differences and it made me appreciate a few things about our park I never had before (but only a few). We stayed for our fireworks and we all commented on how we missed the awesome version of Wishes that DL has. It is far superior to ours. And I found myself yesterday looking towards the teacups from the hub longing to see the Matterhorn (my personal fave). On the third day of our Anaheim trip we went to California Adventure. I went there with an open mind and a bit excited. I had read a couple of negative articles about it, but I was determined to see it with a fresh and open mind. I did pretty well until I got past the entry area (where the sun fountain is?) I liked that area a lot and thought, hey this isnt so bad! Its kind of pretty! But as we took a right and headed past the aviation themed area and on around the river rapids ride I got a sinking feeling. It was feeling sort of bland to me (I didnt want to admit it). But on we went into the back amusement area. Then I actually could not say anything for a little while; I was so stunned by what I saw. I tried to separate the previous 2 days from my viewpoint. All my brain kept saying was, were still on Disney property, right? We made a complete loop up into the Studios area. By the way, we hit all the biggies along the way (Soarin, Mulholland Madness, TOT, Cal. Screamin, Monsters Inc, The Aladdin show and we ate lunch in the vast, barren wharf-like area).
I really did try to like the place, honest. But in retrospect, I dont think it was great (and that is my own conclusion). I kept thinking that the theme was lacking some spark of originality. And while I understand the theme of California, it still felt really disjointed to me. I sort of felt like I was sometimes at a really nice outdoor shopping mall, or back in Orlando at the MGM Studios, or at a Six Flags park. None of those feelings were what I had expected to feel while I was at the Disneyland Resort. We finished out the rest of the evening back across the way at Disneyland (and also our last 2 days). We received Dream Fastpasses on day 4, the DCA Fastpasses went unused as none of us wanted to leave Disneyland (we felt we could see most of that stuff across the way back home in Orlando).
I felt kind of sad that Disneylands detail, creativity and magic was not reflected by its new counterpart. It would make more sense if DCA were here in Orlando in some ways: (A California them seems exotic here on the East coast, plus we have so much more room [and tourists] to risk on a so-so park people will go to anything Disney opens out here it seems!)
With land being so scarce there in Anaheim, it seems to me that they would have wanted to do something that was going to really blow the industry and the Disneylanders expectations out of the water. Anyway, Im glad there will always be Disneyland. I dont know when Ill get to go back but I will be going back. But I might wait for the 50th anniversary of DCA to hit that park again. Maybe there will be something worth seeing there by then.

Mom's Best
Children's Nighttime Drawing Journal
On 20, Aug 2012 | 14 Comments | In Activities, Activity Ideas, Crafty Crafts, Family, Kid Stuff, Mom's Best | By Heather Mildenstein
Cole has been completely enamored with drawing and coloring lately. He walks around all day with his notepad and writing utensil, "jotting" down his ideas and scribbling the pictures in his mind. It's darling.
The other night he was asking about the journals that Matt and I have, and expressed that he wanted a journal of his own to write in when he goes to bed at night. The only slight problem is that he's three years old and can't spell, let alone write a journal entry. And that's when it hit me. He can DRAW a journal entry! I asked him if he'd like a nighttime drawing journal of his very own. His face lit up and was very excited about the idea!
The next day I went to the dollar store and purchased a simple composition book. I covered it in old fabric that I had, and voila! It was done in about 4 minutes! The fun thing is that you can decorate it however you want, or even have your child decorate it. I also got a $5 container (this one's really cute!) and put a few boxes of crayons inside. (I can't claim the jar of crayons idea. I stole it from my dear friends Megan & Shauna).
So the journal and crayons sit on Cole's nightstand so we never forget to use it each night. Before he goes to sleep, we'll ask him what his favorite thing was about the day. Then he draws it, and we write the date and translate the picture in a little caption on the page. Yesterday he was asked to give a prayer in church. He was pretty excited about it, so he drew a little podium with a microphone. He drew himself, and all of the chairs his classmates sit in, and a picture of his teacher. (that's what he tells me the picture is about, at least .
Have fun with this activity! I only let Cole use this journal (notebook) at night so it's special and doesn't get old. During the day he has a different notebook to color in that can be tossed about.
Brilliant! And Cole is so proud of it!
Shelly, that's exactly what I tried to say early this morning from my phone (why won't Blogger let me comment from my phone?), BRILLIANT! This is so awesome on so many levels, Heather. How I wish you'd been blogging when my kids were little.
You are such a fun mom!
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
This really is brilliant! It will be so fun to see it develop through time. You are a pretty great mom!
that is so cute! what a great idea
this is so cute!! leave it to you heather. I'm pretty sure you should get the best mom of a year award
Do you give his drawings captions so that they can be understood years from now? This is such a great idea!
This looks super sweet. I tried to write a comment in my one line a day book and failed miserably. Maybe this will be heaps better. I am going to find a sweet unlined book and get to work.
This is a great habit to get into with your little boy, and what a sweet treasure for the years to come! As he gets older, he can add his writing, too.When our girls were little, we never did drawings (wish we had!), but we wrote back and forth in their pillow journals. Those are so much fun to go back and read! If you'd like to see how that worked, you can find them on my site with a simple search. I apologize if mentioning this is bad manners.
Great idea! And he looks like he's having so much fun and is so proud of his journal entry! Of course, not only is he having fun, he is practicing the very "scribbling skills" that lead to the mastery of handwriting! Great idea. Thanks for sharing and will share as well!
This is such a fabulous idea! I'm so grateful I just stumbled upon your post and look forward to more of your posts in the future! Thanks for sharing- I can't wait until my little one is old enough to start this!
This is brilliant! I love how it start a great routine of journaling, but mostly, that by asking what he preferred in his day is a way to start a gratitude practice! I love it! Thanks for sharing this!

The Federal Reserve voted to undertake a third round of economic stimulus, or quantitative easing. iStockphoto
After months of sitting on the sidelines, the Federal Reserve today approved a series of moves to encourage borrowing and spending. It's the third round of stimulus—aka quantitative easing—that the Fed has undertaken to spur a still-sputtering economy along.
The Fed voted 11 to 1 to approve a plan to spend $40 billion a month on mortgage bonds as the latest effort to make home purchases more affordable and to lift the residential real estate industry. Plus, the Fed said it would keep short-term interest rates at their current record-low rate six months longer than previously stated, meaning that the near-zero rates they charge banks will stay in place through mid-2015.
The Fed's move was cheered by Wall Street, which responded by lifting both the NYSE and the Nasdaq 1.5 percent by 2:30 p.m. today. But it was met with criticism by Republicans in Washington, who saw the Fed's action either as not effective on its own merits or an inappropriate move to take, given the coming November 6 presidential election.
"After four years of stagnant growth, falling incomes, rising costs, and persistently high unemployment, the American economy doesn't need more artificial and ineffective measures. We should be creating wealth, not printing dollars," Lanhee Chen, the top policy adviser to GOP nominee Mitt Romney, said in a statement.
What the Fed's action means for entrepreneurs and those starting a new business isn't completely clear. The last two attempts at quantitative easing didn't have the stimulative effect policymakers had hoped for, and the Fed's decisionmaking tends to be aimed at encouraging larger and more established businesses to pick up hiring, make investments, or both.
