  Rep. Rob Bishop (R-Utah), chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, has abandoned the sound fiscal stewardship that once made him a leader on fiscal solvency and responsible economic recovery for Puerto Rico. Instead, Bishop has succumbed to the special-interest quagmire in Washington and is now actively promoting unsustainable policies for the battered U.S. commonwealth. Specifically Bishop is advocating a plan to create dependency on imported natural gas alongside Wall Street-friendly policies that would essentially leave the island suffocating under a mountain of debt. ADVERTISEMENT The congressman, who has previously called for less political interference in Puerto Rico’s recovery, is now, ironically enough, creating more. Yesterday, he called for the island’s governor to testify at a hearing before his committee this week in Washington, an event that bears close public scrutiny. Two years ago, Bishop shepherded through his committee the controversial PROM...

Crypto stocks, the darlings of late last year that quickly lost their luster, may be rising from the dead. Scores of small firms rebranded with blockchain at the end of 2017 to boost their share prices, only to see their market values languish when the Bitcoin bubble burst. Now, as the top digital token stages a comeback, some of these stocks are once again mimicking moves of the biggest cryptocurrency.

CINCINNATI — After giving up five runs in three innings in his first rehab start at Triple-A Louisville in June, Homer Bailey didn’t feel right. He knew something was wrong and had an idea of how to fix it. Bailey wanted to go to Oklahoma to see Skip Johnson, the Oklahoma Sooners’ head baseball coach and former pitching coach at the University of Texas. Bailey, who lives in the Austin area, had met Johnson after the 2008 season when Johnson was an assistant with the Longhorns. The two got together in Norman, Oklahoma, to try to identify what wasn’t working for Bailey at the big-league or minor-league levels. “I could go into details, but it’s nothing you’d understand,” Bailey said Monday. “It’s kind of technical, technical stuff.” The Reds and Bailey will see if that has made a difference when he takes the mound Tuesday against the Cardinals in his first big-league start since...

HGTV’s “Rehab Addict” star Nicole Curtis is demanding her baby daddy be shut down in his attempt to strip her of custody, saying his request is motivated by his own selfish interests. As The Blast first reported, Shane Maguire, filed a request for custody on July 3, seeking sole custody of 3-year-old Harper. He says Curtis is trying to “ruin their relationship entirely” by making custodial handoffs a “game of cat and mouse.” Error loading player: No playable sources found According to new court documents obtained by The Blast, Curtis says nothing has changed to warrant such a change in custody since his last attempt in March over the same thing. She accuses Maguire of resorting to “the heavy-handed and headline-attracting maneuver of seeking a change of legal and physical custody” and denies that things have deteriorated between the two or that her actions harm their son. Curtis says, “Shane’s filing of this motion is motivated only by his own selfish desires, witho...

People with chronic pain most often seek help from a variety of health practitioners — and often without a referral from their GP. That's one of the findings of Chronic Pain Australia's National Pain Week survey. Because of the nature of some causes of chronic pain, a cure may be out of reach, and therefore many patients must look to a mix of practitioners — sometimes at great expense. Of the 1,266 people surveyed, 32 per cent were seeking help without a referral from their GP.

Now that you already know about the best Bitcoin mining hardware, we’re going to talk about Bitcoin mining software. What is Bitcoin Mining Software? Bitcoin mining hardware handles the actual Bitcoin mining process, but: Bitcoin mining software is equally as important. If you are a solo miner:  the mining software connects your Bitcoin miner to the blockchain. If you mine with a pool:  the software will connect you to your mining pool. If you are cloud mining:  you do not need mining software. Importance of Bitcoin Mining Software The main job of the software is to deliver the mining hardware’s work to the rest of the Bitcoin network and to receive the completed work from other miners on the network. Bitcoin mining software monitors this input and output of your miner while also displaying statistics such as the speed of your miner, hashrate, fan speed and the temperature.
