On Thursday, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) updated its website with information on administrative furloughs in case the fiscal cliff discussions do not produce an agreement.
The OPM's communications director said that the furlough guidelines were not "a reaction to any specific action" but were an effort to keep federal workers informed about the possibility of furlough.
President Obama and involved members of Congress have cut their winter vacations short to negotiate the looming potential financial crisis.
As the comments from Washington seem to be increasingly negative about a potential compromise, many federal workers are becoming increasingly concerned about how the lack of agreement could affect their jobs.
OPM guidelines define a furlough as " the placing of an employee in a temporary non-duty, non-pay status because of lack of work or funds, or other non-disciplinary reasons." With the potential funding cuts that the fiscal cliff would bring about, a number of federal workers could be facing furloughs in 2013.
The guidelines mandate that "agencies are responsible for identifying the employees affected by administrative furloughs based on budget conditions, funding sources, mission priorities (including the need to perform emergency work involving the safety of human life or protection of property), and other factors."
Federal workers also are barred from doing their jobs on a volunteer basis unless otherwise authorized by law. Additionally, federal workers are not permitted to take sick leave, vacation or other forms of paid-time off to circumvent the furlough.
Read more about the furlough process on the OPMs website.

Police union demands more officers
Date: July 1, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
The head of the Southwest Florida Police Benevolent Association, Mick McHale, held a protest today, in front of City Hall, to call for more police officers or City Manager Bob Bartolotta's job. McHale was joined by about 60 current and retired Sarasota police officers.
There currently are 176 officers at the Sarasota Police Department. McHale said that is equivalent to 1987 staffing levels, and that, as a result, officers' lives are at risk and citizen safety is being compromised.
"We are undermanned and under siege," he said. "There are fewer officers to respond in times of need. Response time is down."
McHale placed the blame squarely on the shoulders of City Manager Bob Bartolotta and demanded that Bartolotta immediately hire at least 30 more police officers or resign.
"If he won't step up and make public safety a priority, maybe it's time for him to go somewhere else," McHale said.
Bartolotta did not speak directly to the demand, because negotiations on a new PBA contract with the city are expected to begin soon. The union's contract expires in September.
"The PBA has smart professionals," Bartolotta said. "I'm sure once we get to the negotiating table, we'll be able to come to an agreement."
The problem is purely an economic one, he said.
"(The PBA) is aware of the fiscal realities," Bartolotta said.
The city manager says he plans to present a balanced budget for 2010 without any layoffs, despite starting the budget process with $9 million less than last year.
During the past two years, there have been 125 positions cut citywide, 29 of them police positions, although all the cuts were through attrition.
McHale said he understands budget cuts, but said the police department should not be affected any further.
"You can't treat public safety the same as you do public works," McHale said.
Also attending the protest was a representative from the state PBA, Jim Spearing. He described a public campaign the union was going to wage to put pressure on elected officials.
Nearly 6,000 direct mailers will be sent to Sarasota citizens, which will explain the police staffing levels and its effect on the crime rate.
Said Spearing: "We're not going to quit. We will not settle for, 'We've got to do with what we've got.'"

A September survey of supply managers in nine Midwest and Plains states suggests improving economic conditions.
The September Business Conditions Index for the Mid-America
Region rose for the first time since May. The increase was slight, to 56.3 from 55.8 in August and 60.8 in July. But survey organizers say the results likely means economic conditions will brighten in the months ahead, with little chance of a double-dip recession.
The report uses a collection of indexes ranging from zero to
100. Any score above 50 suggests economic growth in the next three to six months, while a score below 50 suggests a contracting economy.
States in the survey are Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas,
Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.

Staff report
Glasgow Daily Times
Steven K. Hammock, 23, of Scottsville, was arrested Monday by Glasgow police in connection with a shoplifting incident.
Hammock was charged with theft by unlawful taking/disposition of property (shoplifting), second-degree possession of a controlled substance (first offense), fourth-degree assault and tampering with physical evidence.
Glasgow police were dispatched to Walmart in reference to a shoplifter. When Officer Jacob Elmore was en route dispatch advised the subject had fled on foot toward Max Wagner Drive.
Elmore then made contact with Hammock on Max Wagner Drive. Hammock fit the description Elmore had been given, according to a Glasgow Police Department press release.
During a pat down, police found Hammock in possession of six white oval-shaped pills labeled Watson 385.
Walmart loss prevention officers followed Hammock and witnessed him placing stolen merchandise in brush behind the Dollar Tree store, the press release stated.
Captain Eddie Lindsey then located stolen merchandise. While speaking with Walmart's loss prevention officers, they advised, which was confirmed on video surveillance, that Hammock pushed an employee down and out of the way to get past him, the press release stated.
Hammock was released from jail on Wednesday, according to the jail's website.

The exercises discussed below are to strengthen and stretch a normal neck. If you have preexisting neck pain or a spine condition, check with your health care provider before doing these exercises. There are several causes of neck pain, including poor posture and soft tissue abnormalities due to injury or we...

The frightening fire that broke out at the Beachwood Shopping Center at the height of Hurricane Sandy was a blaze that Bayville Volunteer Fire Company members would like to forget.
Transformers exploded and blew. The wind funneled the flames away from the water. Firefighters couldn't get too close because of metal and debris whirling through the air. They had to lay fire hoses from the Roy Rogers restaurant across Route 9.
"That wind was coming across so hard," said Township Council President James J. Byrnes, who was on the scene. "Debris was flying all over the place. I got the hell out of there."
Although plans had been in the works to condemn the property, the fire was apparently the last straw for Fire Official Jack Wiegartner.
He ordered owner Priscilla Oughton to take a number of corrective actions immediately, including vacating the shopping center, removing the structures, demolishing the structures and removing all debris.
Eight fire code violations found
Oughton - the daughter of the late James E. Johnson, who built the plaza decades ago - can appeal the violations with the Ocean County Construction Board of Appeals, Byrnes said.
"She has the right to appeal just like anybody else," Byrnes said. "She can rebuild it and bring it up to code, but that's not going to happen."
So far, township officials have not heard from Oughton, who lives in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea in Florida, he said.
If she does not notify Berkeley of any plans to appeal the violations or correct them, she will face up to $5,000 a day in fines, according to Wiegartner's letter.
"You are hearby ordered by the fire official to correct the violations listed on the accompanying "Violations Report" with the time, or by the date specified," he said in the letter to Oughton.
Oughton will also be liable for the costs of any fire suppression, if a violation directly or indirectly results in a fire, the letter states.
"The building was unsafe to enter," Bayville Volunteer Fire Company Chief Kenneth Anderson said shortly after the fire. "It looked like the Fourth of July."
Wiegartner outlines eight violations of the Uniform Fire Code in the letter. They include:
• Ceiling roof collapse on the entire premises
• Openings in walls ready to collapse.
• Broken glass in front of all the stores.
• Entire front of structure falling down
• Sinkholes in shopping center parking lot.
• Building is not secured
• Abandon premises, building declared unsafe and abated by demolition.
• Hazardous electrical conditions arising from improperly used electrical wiring.
Berkeley officials rejoiced in July when the State Planning Commission gave its long-sought okay to the township's massive redevelopment plan.
The plan approval meant that Donato Donofrio - the redeveloper of record - was free to iron out a cleanup agreement with the owner of the dilapidated Beachwood Shopping Center and get started on the redevelopment.
But nothing materialized after the state approval.
Estimates to clean up the asphalt plant behind the defunct shopping center, remove asbestos from the buildings and raze the site have ranged as high as $50 million, Amato said.

2014 'Noles NFL Draft Headquarters
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.. -- A school-record 11 Florida State players were selected in the 2013 NFL Draft last spring and this year the national champions have a chance to potentially match (and maybe even exceed) that total.
The actual draft won't take place until May 8-10, but the process officially gets started today as nine `Noles in this year's class get the unique opportunity to prove their worth to league personnel at the annual NFL Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind. Actual combine drills do not begin until Saturday but players have already started arriving for weigh-ins and interviews with NFL teams.
Timmy Jernigan, Kelvin Benjamin, Lamarcus Joyner, Telvin Smith, Christian Jones, Devonta Freeman, James Wilder, Jr., Terrence Brooks and Bryan Stork were invited to the event, which will last until defensive-back drills are completed Tuesday.
Depending on which projections you read and which draft "insiders" you follow, the `Noles have three legitimate candidates to be first-round selections in 2014 in Jernigan, Benjamin and Joyner.
Many mock drafts have Jernigan being the first FSU player off the board at pick No. 14 to the noseguard-needy Chicago Bears. An early entrant into the draft after electing to forgo his senior year, Jernigan is coming off a dominant junior season in which he became a bonafide star in the heart of the Seminoles' defensive line. His quick-punch ability, quickness and strength, coupled with his low center of gravity and power make him an intriguing prospect and could lead to him being one of the first defensive tackles selected.
"I think Jernigan can step in and be special early," said NFL draft analyst Mike Mayock, who spent nearly four hours this week on a conference call with reporters discussing prospects and team needs. "I think Jernigan is a guy that if he's sitting there when the [Chicago] Bears are on the board at No. 14, I think you'd sprint to the podium."
Benjamin, whom Mayock referred to as "today's flavor in the NFL" because of his 6-foot-5, 240-pound frame, could go anywhere in the first round after a breakout redshirt sophomore campaign. In 2013, Benjamin became a dominant force, proving to be a matchup nightmare for defensive backs all year long and he capped the season with the game-winning touchdown in the BCS National Championship Game.
A strong showing at the combine that features a good 40-yard dash time and consistent catching in drills could vault Benjamin into top-15-picks consideration.
While Benjamin's size is his calling card, Joyner could slip into the first round because of his relentless playing style, explosiveness and experience at multiple positions.
The Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. native excelled at safety before making the switch to nickel back as a senior and he went on to have a career year as FSU's do-it-all player on defense. He made plays in the backfield sacking the quarterback, he forced fumbles and he intercepted passes. He even has extensive experience as a kick returner.
"I think [Joyner is] a little bit like [former LSU star] Tryann Mathieu in that he was a corner in [his first year at] college, but I think he's going to have to kick inside and either be a safety or a nickel or both," Mayock said. "He's an explosive kid like Mathieu. He's an explosive, quick-twitch athlete. He can play safety or nickel.
"I like him a lot."
All eyes will be on Joyner when he runs the 40-yard dash between 11 a.m. and noon Tuesday. Deion Sanders' 4.27 40-yard dash is the fastest FSU player's time in NFL Combine history, and while Joyner likely won't match that, he could get close to other top `Noles times like Willie Reid's 4.34, Javon Walker's 4.38, Pat Watkins' 4.42 or Leon Washington's 4.42.
Brooks doesn't have a potential first-round projection like Joyner, but he could be a steal among FSU players in this draft. There hasn't been much buzz about the 5-foot-11, 197-pound safety, but after a stellar senior season in which he displayed steady play in the back end while showcasing a strong ability to step into the box and help in the run game, it's widely believed that Brooks has a bright NFL future and could possibly be a second- or third-round selection.
Like Joyner, Brooks has experience playing both safety and cornerback.
Another player without much buzz but has a chance to introduce himself to NFL teams this weekend is Freeman, who is a bit of a wildcard in this year's draft.
Freeman was FSU's most consistent runner in each of his three seasons in Tallahassee and much to the delight of professional teams everywhere, he doesn't have a lot of wear and tear on his body after sharing carries with Jermaine Thomas, Chris Thompson, Wilder and Karlos Williams. Freeman became a much better blocker each year at FSU and has the ability to catch the football out of the backfield, too.
"I think Freeman is really interesting," said Mayock, who projects Freeman and Brooks as third-round selections. "Burst, acceleration, tough kid [that] can make you miss. But he still gets north and south."
North and south is Wilder's speciality and the former five-star prospect has a frame that scouts will be drooling over all weekend.
Like Freeman, he could be selected virtually anywhere in the middle to late rounds so a lot can be determined with a successful trip to Indianapolis.
"[Wilder is] a big, strong guy and has surprisingly nimble feet for his size," Mayock said. "Obliviously, [that's] a good pedigree. I think he'll go in the fourth or fifth round."
FSU's pair of linebackers also have a lot to showcase at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Smith will likely set the combine on fire with a blazing 40-yard dash time but NFL personnel will be most interested in his weight. After weighing in at 218 pounds at last month's senior bowl, Smith has been working out in South Florida with the intent to add bulk to his frame while maintaining his elite speed and sideline-to-sideline quickness.
Depending on his performance at the combine and which team drafts him, Smith could potentially wind up at safety at the next level but he has been steadfast in saying he wants to stay at linebacker.
With Jones, a senior season that saw him move into a defensive end role and flash an ability to rush the passer benefitted his draft stock. His size will wow scouts, too.
"I do believe it helped him," Mayock said about Jones' new role in 2013. "Today's NFL, any time you can show some edge rush ability it's going to push you up a little higher in the draft. And I think his versatility will be a plus."
A strong three-cone drill Monday will be critical for Smith and Jones as it is a good indicator of a defender's ability to plant their foot and change direction.
Stork is considered a late-round selection but Mayock pointed out this week that interior offensive linemen are becoming more and more critical in the NFL. Stork starred as FSU's center this past season and even captured the Rimington Trophy, which is given annually to the nation's top center. The Vero Beach, Fla. native also has experience playing guard and tackle.
Below are the official on-field testing days and times for FSU's nine players at the combine and all the action can be watched live on NFL Network.

For the next two weeks, Collin McLoughlin—who has spent the last year honing his craft from his childhood bedroom in Bedford—will be taking advice from music superstars Adam Levine and Mary J. Blige.
"It's already been absolutely amazing," McLoughlin said in a phone interview this week about the coaching he's received through his appearances on the reality singing competition, The Voice. "I've learned so much about myself and about music. They've affirmed my choice for what I'm doing with my life. It's really a dream come true."
McLouglin, 24, is still on a high after receiving attention from three of the four judges on the reality singing competition. Blake Shelton, Cee Lo Green, and Adam Levine each praised his performance but McLouglin chose "Team Levine" for the "battle rounds," when team members face off against each other to sing the same song together in front of a studio audience.
Then the coaches must choose which of his or her singers will advance to the live stage shows. The winner of the show receives a recording contract with Universal Republic Records.
It's a long way to go—but for McLoughlin, there's already great validation of the long road he traveled get to this moment.

"I've been working for years on my music," said the former Bedford Village Elementary School student, who later picked up his first guitar at the Rippowam Cisqua School.
He added that he spent the last 12 months on a strict schedule back in his hometown, after leaving graduate school to pursue a career in the industry. He began his 10-hour work days no later than 7 a.m., plugging away until he and his mother headed out for an early-bird dinner special at a rotating roster of restaurants in Bedford.
And what was he doing, toiling away in his home-based music studio?
"Whatever I felt would promote my music and help me connect with fans," he said. "In a way, I benefited from having no experience in a brick-and-mortar music industry. I spent a lot of time marketing myself on YouTube."
McLoughlin recorded a series of cover songs by artists ranging from Adele to Lil Wayne to Gavin McGraw and posted them on YouTube. At the end of each video, he plugged his 2011 album release, Chasing Dreams. When it came out, he cracked the number two slot on the iTunes singer/songwriter chart.
And he amassed an increasing number of fans through his website, Facebook and Twitter. And eventually, he garnered the attention of The Voice's producers, who suggested he audition for the show. There were auditions and interviews in New York before his whole family headed out to Los Angeles in June to tape the show that aired in September.
His mother, freelance writer Nancy McLoughlin, said the experience was surreal, "like how you feel when a plane is taking off—here we go!" she said. "I know what sports moms feel like now—I couldn't help but scream when the judges turned around!"
When asked if she was disappointed he had left New York University's Steinhardt School of Music Management to pursue a career in music, she replied, "technically, he's on a leave of absence." In fact, she added, the day after the show aired, the Dean of Students there emailed Collin to express the school's support. Mostly, she said, she was proud of his dedication and hard work at achieving his dream.
McLoughlin describes his sounds as acoustic-based, though his newest project has a faster tempo and a modern beat. He said he selected Cat Stevens "Wild World" for his audition because he hoped to tap into a wide viewership—though it was a "risky" choice, he acknowledged, with none of the "vocal acrobatics" of some of the other auditions.
The risk obviously paid off, and McLoughlin is enjoying the next phase of the show. With a schedule that has pulled him away from his hometown, what does he miss about Bedford, other than the early-bird specials?
"I do miss the open fields, and driving on back roads," he said. "Bedford was a great place to grow up and gave me access to opportunities that helped shape who I am."

Will you be watching the wedding? As if it's not wild enough that I'm heading to Moundsville for the next two days, I've promised a friend to stay up tonight (tomorrow morning?) and watch the royal wedding in our cabin.* I hadn't quite been getting into the spirit of it all, but I'm now glad to know that there will be some good British music to enjoy along with all the pomp and circumstance. No Pachelbel, Mendelssohn, or Wagner for these kids!
"Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton are pleased to announce the
music for their Wedding Service. The music has a largely British
theme. The Couple have put considerable thought into selecting the
music, and their choices blend traditional music with some newly
commissioned pieces."

You probably don't need any more things clanging around your head on a Monday, but I can't get over all the versions of the Anvil Chorus from Verdi's opera Il Trovatore [The Troubador] that are out there. Here are a few to enjoy.
As presented by Buster Bunny and Plucky Duck...
Perhaps you're more of a traditionalist?
Or like your opera to swing?
Or just looking for some catharsis...
The anvils will be there this weekend at the Metropolitan Opera (on the radio and at the movies...)
If you want to check out the full
opera, anvils and all, you can hear it on West Virginia Public Radio or find it at some movie theaters this Saturday at 1pm and Wednesday May 18th at 6:30pm.
What is the nature of opera? What is most important – the words, the
music or the theatrical production? These are the questions being
mulled over as we go to a chateau near Paris in the 1920's.
It is the birthday of the widowed Countess Madeleine. The composer
Flamand and the poet Olivier are rivals for the affection of the
Countess. Whom will she choose – the composer (music) or the poet
(words)?This is the premise of the opera Capriccio by
the German composer Richard Strauss (1864-1949). The libretto (script)
was written by Richard Strauss and Clemens Krauss. The opera had its
premier at the State Opera in Munich on October 28, 1942.
Capriccio will be broadcast live in high definition from the stage of the Metropolitan Opera in New York City to movie theaters around the world this Saturday, April 23, 2011. Local opera lovers may watch the live transmission of the opera at 1pm this Saturday in the Cinemark Theaters at the Huntington Mall or in Ashland(Editor's note: or at the Great Escape Theaters in Nitro or Hollywood Theaters Stadium in Morgantown and several other theaters in bordering states).Famed soprano Renee Fleming will sing the role of Countess Madeleine and Andrew Davis will conduct the orchestra. The expected running time of the opera broadcast is 2 hours and 45 minutes. Capriccio will be sung in German with English subtitles. If you miss the broadcast on April 23, there will be an encore showing on Wednesday, May 11 at 6:30pm. (note: Encores will be shown in Barboursville, Ashland, and Bridgeport.)The next live transmission from the Metropolitan Opera will be Il Trovatore by the Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi on Saturday, April 30 at 1 pm.

Over the weekend, my friend Kathy was talking about composer
Eric Whitacre. Her daughter had just played some of his music in the All-County
Band, and she's now interested in his Virtual Choir.
This morning, I started to write her a note with some of my
favorite Whitacre links, and I've decided to just post it here and send her
this link instead. And if you have more suggestions, add them in the comments:)
First, the virtual choir – read about it here. You can also follow the choir on Twitter. Check out
their performances of his pieces "Lux Aurumque" and "Sleep":
Totally cool and inspiring. But my favorite version of
"Sleep" doesn't involve any voices – it's a mallet ensemble arrangement, performed by the TorQ Percussion Quartet (thanks to
percussionist Andrew Flanagan, who is studying at WVU, for sharing this with
My two go-to Whitacre albums are Eric Whitacre: The Complete A Capella works 1991-2001 / Brigham Young University Singers, Ronald Staheli, cond. (alas, out
of print) and Eric Whitacre Choral Music / Elora Festival Singers, Noel Edison, cond.
You can hear Whitacre speaking about his music with Raymond Bisha in this podcast from Naxos about the Elora Festival Singers recording.
On the sillier side, my friend Robert from music school
recently shared a few Whitacre-themed webcomics (isn't the Internet wonderful
some days?)

Finally, I'm singing Whitacre's music for the first time. The Charleston Civic Chorus is singing "Water Night" this spring (our concert is May
1st!). It's challenging to blend all the different parts, but the poetry (by
Octavio Paz) and music are so lovely:
How about you? Anything you think I should be adding to my list of Whitacre links?
Mm, coffee is especially good in my public radio mug with the Writer's Almanac playing...
