<html>HOUSTON -- Workers at Johnson Space Center began returning to work following Wednesday night s vote to reopen the government through mid-January.
Earlier in the week, several employees,cheap nba basketball jerseys, contractors, and their family members protested the government shutdown outside JSC.
Other workers across the nation started returning to their federal jobs on Thursday as well.
The Office of Personnel Management announced Wednesday night that workers should return to work on their next regularly scheduled work day, noting that is Thursday for most workers. Nationwide, hundreds of thousands of workers have been furloughed since the shutdown began Oct. 1.
The office encouraged agencies to be flexible for a smooth transition by allowing telework and excused absences in some cases.
We re back from the (hashtag)shutdown! the Smithsonian Institution declared on Twitter, announcing that its 19 museums would reopen Thursday. The National Zoo was set to reopen Friday.
The returning workers presence will be felt on the roads and rails in the Washington region, where commutes have been less crowded over the past two weeks. The regional transit agency, Metro, reported a 20 percent drop in ridership when the shutdown began and has said it lost a few hundred thousand dollars each day.
Workers began filing in well before dawn at the U.S. Geological Survey s campus in Reston, about 20 miles outside of Washington.
Feels kind of strange, said Kathleen Faison of Ashburn, a training specialist at the survey, as she headed into the office. I kind of wish they would have kept us out until Monday.
Faison said during the first few days of the shutdown, she followed the news closely, anticipating that she could be called back any day. But by week two, I just kind of fell into my own personal routine, she said.
She said she considered teleworking for the first day or two but eventually decided I might as well just get back into the swing of things,Custom Denver Broncos NFL Jerseys For Sale,Tigers beat Red Sox, 7.

We re definitely behind, he said. I m glad it s over.
The impasse had shuttered national parks and monuments, and mostly closed down NASA, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Interior Department. Critical functions of government went on as usual, but the closure and potential default weighed on the economy and spooked the financial markets.
Standard Poor s estimated the shutdown has taken $24 billion out of the economy.

Doctor Who- 10 More Memorable Episodes (And The Lessons They
<html>This is a sequel to . As promised, here are my next ten memorable episodes all from the Matt Smith/Amy/Rory time span and the lessons they taught me. As I ve said before, Russell T. Davies created stories that left me with questions and the Steven Moffat incarnation delivered answers, until recently.
For this last season with Clara, he has gone timey-wimey warp speed, a step too far for me. I enjoyed a couple of Clara episodes, but, I have to confess, even after watching all the episodes several times, I remain mildly confused and somewhat annoyed. Maybe after the big reveal for the 50th special, I ll be more enamored of Clara and appreciative of the unfolding, currently obscure, story-line.
For now,Elliott Sadler to drive MWR No. 55 in final four races of 2013,nba jerseys, see if you agree with my choices from the earlier era with Amy and Rory, all in chronological order.
Let s begin shall we;
10. The Beast Below
This is Amy s first trip with the Doctor. After 14 years of waiting, in a nightie, she runs away, the night before her wedding, with the lonely mad man in a box. Earth is no longer habitable; humans are searching the stars for a new home within a star-scraping skyline of a spaceship called STARSHIP UK. The Doctor and Amy cannot resist going to the aid of a crying school girl. They encounter a ship whose engines make no noise, scary masked creatures,cheap nba basketball jerseys, and a gun-toting Queen Liz. She wanders incognito with a voluminous red cloak,Denver Broncos Jerseys Wholesale, white mask, and big boots,BB&T Focuses on Expenses as Revenue Declines, to investigate her corrupt government. People are coerced into forgetting what s really going on. It is fascinating how it all unfolds; I never saw the ending coming.
To cut to the chase, we find out that a space whale carries the ship on its back and is being tortured to go faster. Once the secret is revealed, a decision has to be made. The Queen is appalled but doesn t want to kill her people; she prefers to keep the status quo and forget a bit longer. The Doctor is ready to, in effect, lobotomize the whale, so it can keep going but not feel pain. Amy risks the lives of everyone on board, going against the will of the Queen and the Doctor, and creates a win-win for all; her intuition told her that the kind whale volunteered to save the people of Britain except Scotland, whose people took off on their own ship because it couldn t stand to hear children crying. Just like the Doctor, the last of his kind, was drawn to save Amelia.
The Lesson: Listen to your heart and trust your instincts, no matter what anyone The Queen or Doctor Who on down- says. You may not save a space whale but you could save yourself a lot of grief!</html>
