“My interest in early radio broadcasting has been fed in Lafayette, for secondary teachers, a number of local business people and professors at Purdue University. Similarly, the board of C-SPAN cable executives have always asked our network involved in education and young people, “said Lamb.

OPM Government Shutdown


OPM: Government Shutdown Threat 


The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued a statement addressing what a government shutdownwould mean for federal employees should lawmakers fail to reach a budget agreement ahead of a Friday deadline.
"The President has made it clear that he does not want a government shutdown, and the Administration is willing and ready to work day and night to find a solution that all sides can agree with," the statement said. "That said, given the realities of the calendar, prudent management requires we plan for an orderly shutdown should the negotiations not be completed by the end of the current continuing resolution."
OPM explains that if a shutdown does occur, departments and agencies on the federal level would be required to comply with contingency plans distinguishing operations that must be stopped from those which would be allowed to continue.
HuffPost's Dean Praetorius outlined on Tuesday what one could expect in the event of a shutdown:
A government shutdown occurs when a government discontinues providing services that are not considered "essential." Typically, essential services include police, fire fighting, armed forces, utilities and corrections. Interestingly, Congress and the President are exempt from the furlough and continue to receive compensation despite the fact that other services are suspended.
