Lexington Mayor Jim Gray unveiled his plan to stimulate Kentucky's economy Monday, focusing on investing in infrastructure projects and making small business loans more accessible.
Gray, the Democratic nominee challenging U.S. Sen. Rand Paul in the Nov. 8 election, has throughout the campaign touted his experience running a family-owned construction company, trying to portray himself as a businessman who can help create jobs for Kentucky.
Gray stuck to that message at the United Auto Workers Union Hall, speaking on Labor Day alongside U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth, D-Louisville, to a small crowd of union members and press.
"I know about creating jobs, I grew up in a family business, where over time we created literally thousands of jobs," Gray said.
Gray's plan centers upon investing in infrastructure and education to create jobs and attract businesses to the state.
In particular, his plan calls for repairing roads and bridges throughout the state and building several new ones, including an expansion of the Hal Rogers Parkway in Southeastern Kentucky.
"We're living today on the infrastructure of our parents and our grandparents," Gray said. "America has always built ourselves out of adversity. All the way back to the Great Depression."
He also talked about increasing broadband access to rural areas of the state to help attract large companies.
"It's beyond Lexington and Louisville," Gray said. "The rural parts of the state also need access to this technology, they need access to high speed internet. I've seen this firsthand. I've seen plants actually locate in small rural Kentucky where broadband today exists."
There is an ongoing federal initiative to bring broadband access to rural communities and Kentucky is in the process of creating a so-called middle mile network that would increase access and decrease cost of internet in rural communities.
Gray didn't specify exactly where money would come from to finance federal investments in infrastructure and education, but said he wouldn't take any option off the table, including a proposal to tax overseas earnings.
A common option is to borrow more money.
"If our company hadn't been able to borrow money when we were flat on our backs broke we never would have been able to work our way out of insolvency," Gray said. "So debt is not a bad thing. It has to be understood, it has to be measured and the investment needs to make sense, but debt on its face is not a bad thing."
Debt is not a bad thing. It has to be understood, it has to be measured and the investment needs to make sense, but debt on its face is not a bad thing.
Jim Gray, Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate
Gray's stance is in stark contrast to Paul, a Bowling Green ophthamologist who has campaigned on eliminating the national debt.
Paul has made several proposals to require a balanced federal budget, none of which have made their way into law.
He also has proposed a plan that creates "economic freedom zones," which would reduce taxes for areas of high unemployment in hopes of attracting businesses and jobs.
About 25 counties in Eastern Kentucky would qualify for those lower tax rates under Paul's plan.
"From traveling to every corner of the commonwealth to personally share his Economic Freedom Zone plan with Kentuckians, to leading the fight to keep our hard earned tax dollars here at home rather than sending them overseas to countries who hate America, Dr. Rand Paul has an incredibly strong record of standing for Kentucky jobs and continues to be a leading advocate for repealing the job-killing over-regulation of our coal industry and getting the government out of the way so Kentucky's businesses can grow and succeed," said Paul's spokeswoman, Kelsey Cooper, in a written statement.
When asked specifically about what can be done to grow jobs in Eastern Kentucky, Gray stressed the need to diversify the economy in regions hit hard by a rapid decline of the coal industry.
"Cities and regions change," Gray said. "It doesn't happen overnight, but diversifying your economy is the only real route. The only real way to success over time is a diversified economy. Regrettably, one-industry towns, one-industry regions often struggle for long cycles and that's what we're seeing."
Gray's plan also stressed the importance of small businesses and increasing accessibility to small business loans.
"My dad started and my mom started a business with a Small Business Administration loan of $25,000," Gray said. "That's what started a company that today is worth a billion dollars in annual revenues. And we're proud of that, but others across our great state need access to capital."
To do that, Gray said the federal government would need to remove regulations to make it easier for community banks to make loans to aspiring business owners.
Gray also talked about exporting goods from Kentucky. He did not specify whether he supports the federal trade acts currently being debated in Congress, instead saying he would support trade deals that are "good for Kentucky."
He also said the federal government needs to stand up to China to make sure the country isn't "cheating" by manipulating its currency to increase exports.
He also repeated his support for increasing the federal minimum wage and the equal pay act, which aims to ensure women and men are paid equally for the same work. He also supports allowing graduates to refinance their student loan debt.

As the weather heats up after the long winter, we need to make sure we keep our pets safe from overheating and heatstroke.
Everyone knows that they should not leave their pets in the car. Although it may be tempting to leave a pet in the car for "just a minute," one should never give in to the temptation. Vehicles in the summer can heat up incredibly quickly. If you do see an animal in a car, try to locate the owner by having an announcement made at nearby businesses or call the local police and/or animal control.
Pets should always have free access to fresh water in the summer. Activities, such as play and walks, should be conducted early in the morning or later in the evening to avoid the hottest part of day. Make sure there is access to shade and water, and take frequent breaks.
Special care should be taken with brachycephalic (short-nosed) breeds as well as young, old, or obese pets. Dogs cool themselves primarily though panting. Breeds like pugs and bulldogs are much less efficient at cooling themselves and should be encouraged to take it easy during hot and humid days. Brachycephalic cats (like Persians), as well as the old, young or obese can also have more difficulty keeping cool in warm weather.
Signs of heatstroke start with a pet who appears distressed. They will often look uncomfortable and will profusely pant. Excessive salivation and/or drool is a sign that heatstroke is progressing. Ataxia (a lack of coordination), confusion, and a change in the color of the gums are all signs that your pet is already quite ill. Vomiting, diarrhea, and even seizures may also be seen.
If you notice these signs, take your pet to a cooler place. Get them to a veterinarian as soon as possible! If you are outdoors, move to the shade. A fan, if available, may help cool your pet. Cool, wet towels in the groin or armpits can help cool your pet as well. Avoid cold or ice water. This can cause blood vessels to contract and may actually trap heat inside your pet. Avoid overcooling your pet, as this can cause the body to try to make itself warm again in response to the quick drop in temperature.
Heat stroke can progress quite rapidly and result in life threatening complications. Doing your best to prevent heatstroke before it happens is the best way to keep your pets safe!

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The free agent cornerback market got more interesting Wednesday.
Josh Norman, one of the league's top corners, became an unrestricted free agent after the Panthers surprisingly rescinded their non-exclusive franchise tag offer to the All-Pro and wished him well — someplace else.
Norman, 28, elected not to sign the franchise tag offer, which would have paid him $13.9 million in 2016, while holding out for a long-term contract. The sides could never agree on monetary compensation.
Now Norman can sign with any team.
"After a number of conversations with Josh's agent, we realized that a long-term deal was not attainable," general manager Dave Gettleman said in a release. "We thank Josh for all his contributions and truly wish him well."
A 2012 fifth-round draft pick, Norman had a career-high four interceptions last year and helped the NFC champion Panthers lead the NFL in interceptions (24), takeaways (39) and points off turnovers (148). He also had 16 passes defensed, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
Norman didn't want to discuss the Panthers' decision when reached Wednesday night.
"Man, I just don't feel like talking about it right now," he told the Associated Press.
Essentially, Norman was gambling on himself by not signing the team's franchise tag offer, believing he can get more money on the free agent market.
Norman's absence creates a huge void in the Panthers secondary.
Last year's other starter, Charles Tillman, also is a free agent, leaving nickel back Bene Benwikere and journeyman Robert McClain as the only cornerbacks with significant NFL experience.
Norman, a four-year veteran, had been in and out of the starting lineup for the Panthers for 21/2 seasons before emerging as a potential star late in 2014.
Eagles go all-in to get QB: Desperate for a franchise quarterback, the Eagles can get their man next week. The Browns will wait for their guy.
The Eagles acquired the No. 2 overall pick in next week's draft from Cleveland in exchange for five picks. The Browns are getting Philadelphia's first-round pick this year (No. 8), a third-round pick (No. 77) and a fourth-rounder (No. 100), plus a first-rounder in 2017 and a second-rounder in 2018.
Cleveland also sends a fourth-round pick in 2017 to the Eagles.
"It's a tough price to pay," said Howie Roseman, Philadelphia's executive vice president of football operations. "We're very sure we're going to get the player we want. We've spent a ton of time investigating these guys and looked at the quarterback market going forward, and this is a rare opportunity we're in."
The trade allows Philadelphia to select one of the top quarterback prospects, Carson Wentz of North Dakota State or Jared Goff of California, at No. 2. The Rams already acquired the top overall pick from Tennessee for a slew of picks and have indicated they will take a quarterback.
"These guys are pretty even," Eagles coach Doug Pederson said of Wentz and Goff. "From all the physical tools, both of them are extremely gifted. Good arm strength, good mobility. Obviously, Carson is a little bigger, maybe a little better athlete right now. There's not much separating those two."
The Eagles signed Sam Bradford to a $35 million, two-year contract in March. Roseman said he'll be the starter. They also signed backup Chase Daniel to a $21 million, three-year deal. But Roseman couldn't resist an opportunity to move up after acquiring the No. 8 pick from Miami for cornerback Byron Maxwell, linebacker Kiko Alonso and the 13th overall pick.
Cowboys: Starting defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence faces a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, the Dallas Morning News reported.

Finally I managed to capture another sunrise. With clouds and all that.
Weather was perfect. Didn't go for too long today. Not sure why, but just didn't feel like it, so I decided to not force it.
I am contemplating what to do with the rest of the year. I might want to run the distance of a half. Just to see how long it will take me and have a base point to improve upon. The distance shouldn't be a problem, but I am worried about the surface … I do love the idea to at least be able to run home … that includes roads.

Venue - Morton Stadium
Start Time -
Uploaded by Garrett Moylan with thanks to PRO Ray Deering and Coaches
The club had five athletes in action over the two days of this competition. Competing at this level was a new new experience for our athletes and they acquitted themselves very well.
Peter Ryan, who has only recently started competing for the club won a silver medal in the 56lb Weight for Height event with a throw of 4.10m This was a great performance by Peter considering he has just taken up this event and was only 20 cm behind the winner.
Paul White ran a new personal best of 49.00secs in his 400m heat and was unfortunate not to make the final but a great run none the less.
Dan Finnerty finished 6th in the 400m Hurdles final where he also produced a fine run of 58.74secs.
Oisin Fitzpatrick was 6th in the 110m Hurdles final in a time of 15.94.
Tom Hennessy didn't manage to progress from his 800m heat running 2.00.05 for 7th place.
Rounding off the weekend our 4x400m relay team, Paul White, Dan Finnerty, Tom Hennessy and Michael Quilligan ran a very good time (3.25.72) to finish 5th.

Number one "food blogging" pet peeve– being too tired, too rushed, or too hungry to properly photograph a recipe. Trust me, I get it, I'm blogging about food, it should look appetizing and appealing, but I have an 8 to 5 job and sometimes a girl just can't wait… Sometimes it's fine because "hey ,the recipe wasn't that great," no harm, no foul. But other times {like now} I wish I had tried a little harder to get that cover shot. Oh well, c'est la vie.
It's not a secret that I love Asian fusion and Asian inspired food. I have been wanting to try a soba noodle recipe for awhile now and as soon as I saw this recipe, featuring a spicy peanut sauce, I knew that this would satsify my soba desire and Bill couldn't help but be on board with the flavors {he's a peanut butter fiend}…
For the Salad
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 each red, orange, and yellow bell pepper
12 oz soba noodles
fresh cilantro or basil to taste
For the Spicy Peanut Sauce
5 tablespoons peanut butter
5 tablespoons water
5 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon minced garlic
half of a jalapeño pepper
½ cup peanuts
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Place the chicken in the water and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink. After chicken has cooled, shred chicken with two forks in a large bowl, then, set aside. Meanwhile, chop the bell peppers into very thin strips.
Puree all the ingredients for the spicy peanut sauce in a food processor. Add the peanuts last to control how smooth the sauce will be.
Cook the soba noodles according to package directions. Drain and toss with the chicken, veggies, fresh cilantro, and Spicy Peanut Sauce. Can be served hot or cold. I enjoyed it hot for dinner and cold for lunch the next day– both are equally tasty!

So my SO and I have been talking about marriage for a while. Five weeks ago we went to the jewelers and designed my ring and picked out "his" diamond. (The ring is a three stone – the two smaller stones are my late mother and grandmothers engagement diamonds.) It took forever but it came in last week and now he's having waaaay too much fun torturing me with it!! The waiting is making me completely nuts!!!!!! I thought he was waiting for Christmas but he keeps making comments like it will be a while. I know exactly where it is in the house and it is taking everything not to snoop. Aaaaahhhhh!!!!

Boy meets girl. Girl dumps boy. Boy meets girl's friend. Girls feud over boy.
It sounds like the plot of a romantic comedy or a soap, but love triangles are just as common in real life Hollywood. It seems celebrities are not any more immune to falling in love with their ex's friend (or worse, their friend's ex) than the characters they play on-screen.
Is it any wonder that tabloid magazines are filled with the angst of famous reality stars scorned or teen BFFs feuding over a hunk du jour?
Read on for 10 of Hollywood's most awkward love triangles.

For those who know me, know I am a big fan of Chicago. I have to say, after this play, I am an even bigger fan. Brandon Marshall, of the Chicago Bear's, supported Mental Health Awareness Week by playing in green cleats. Despite the NFL's possibilities of fines, Marshall stated he will match the fines and make a donation to cancer research. He is supporting both Mental Health Awareness and Breast Cancer Awareness. What a quality guy!

Beyond the TreePublished June 25, 2010 Health , Uncategorized Leave a Comment
Tags: Amanda Levison, art therapy, MegaPixels Photo, psychology, Shel Silverstein, The Giving Tree, therapist in broward county, tree, tree house person
When looking at a tree, a typical person may not look too deep into it. Like the age of the tree, what might have occurred there, the memories it made for others, the reasons for the cracks in the trunk, the lifted roots… there is so much more beyond the tree.
A tree can signify life, birth and whatever else you make of it. It can be a place of peace and calmness, a place to create memories, or a place of mourning. Looking at nature typically allows people to be free.
I love using art as a way of therapy, especially when working with children. Trees are interesting to analyze because it relates to the artist from every perspective from the age to the details created. The trunk may signify the age where different movement represent ages in which significant events may have occurred. Every time I analyze a drawing, the client is amazed (and so am I) at the accuracy noted.

Brazing and Soldering
Brazing differs from welding in that it uses a filler having a lower melting point than the pieces to be joined. The molten filler flows between the pieces, then solidifies to form the bond. This process may also be used in soldering. The distinction between brazing and soldering is based on the metallurgical character of the joint and on the temperatures required. For filler melting temperatures above 840° F (450° C), the process is called…

Every girl needs a versatile holiday skirt. At least, that's what this fabric seemed to whisper, sitting on the shelf at the Needle Shop. "I am the perfect color, have a little shine, and ooh, ooh, look at my subtle polka dots!". Fine. I was sold. I scooped up a yard and a quarter and headed home to make this festive frock.
I knew I wanted this skirt to be a "mini" since it was going to be worn with leggings (most likely fleece lined) or tights all the time. I wanted a fit and flare silhouette, but didn't have much fabric, so I went with the Deer & Doe Chardon skirt (made previously here). This fabric was perfect to hold the structure of the pleats.
Here are the details:
Pattern: Chardon Skirt / Jupe by Deer & Doe
Materials: Jacquard Twill in Burgundy Dot from The Needle Shop, Interfacing, Invisible zipper
Sizing / Fit Alterations: Cut size 42 - let out front pleat and side seams slightly for a perfect fit.
For mini length, I cut the skirt at the "contrast" line instead of the lower edge hem.
Construction Notes:
Understitch the waistband facing - it will help it lay smoother
Hand sewing required: tacking the facing down to the zipper tape, tack waistband facing at side seams
The pattern calls for a 10" regular zipper, but I used a 9" invisible zip
New technique - Blind Hem.
My sewing machine has a special presser foot for this that I have never tried. My first attempt was reaaaaally bad, but I think the second try looks nice! Not perfect, by any means, but it makes me want to give it a go on future garments.
I really like this skirt pattern, and adore this fabric! Perfect for this time of year. I decided to pair it up with a couple options for photos, and ended up liking all of them. The ones above are just with a pale pink tee. I also could wear it with a silk tank:
Or a cozy sweater:
So, any sewing related presents on your Christmas wish list this year? Have you made any holiday attire? Sewn any Deer and Doe recently? Be sure to add it to our flickr pool! And thanks for reading! :)

BOISE — A $72,000 grant will be used to provide more educational opportunities for Idaho's wine grape growers and vintners in an attempt to increase the collective expertise of the state's wine industry.
Some of the money will also be used to help pay a vineyard consultant who will offer vineyard-specific advice to growers and help them up their game.
Increasing the overall education level of Idaho's wine industry is important because, "We always have room to improve. None of us knows everything," said Idaho Wine Commission Executive Director Moya Shatz-Dolsby. "There is always something to learn. There is always room to improve."
The specialty crop grant was provided to the IWC by the Idaho State Department of Agriculture.
It will allow the commission to send 10 members of Idaho's wine industry to attend wine-related courses hosted by the University of California-Davis, a national leader in viticulture and enology.
Having good, smart growers and vintners who are educated about wine making is critical for the health of the state's collective wine industry, said IWC board member Michael Williamson, manager of Williamson Orchards and Vineyards.
"In order to be sustainable as an industry and be on par with the world as winemakers, quality is the cost of entry," he said. "Quality comes from proper education and knowledge of the intricacies of growing grapes and producing wine."
When it comes to the global wine industry, Idaho is kind of an island because of its geography, said IWC board member and Telaya Wine Co. Winemaker Earl Sullivan.
"Getting growers and winemakers additional opportunities to interact with their peers and get some critical feedback and professional education is important," he said. "Any opportunity we have to get one step further ahead is only going to help our industry."
While the state's wine industry is growing quickly — the number of wineries in Idaho has surged from 11 to 52 since 2002 — it's important to safeguard the quality the industry has become known for and that comes through education, Shatz-Dolsby said.
According to the IWC's grant application, the new industry consultant, Anthony Domingos from California, will identify viticulture challenges in Idaho, forecast new vineyard plantings, host vineyard-specific seminars for growers and provide recommendations on techniques for enhancing fruit quality.
Williamson said the recently hired Domingos already gave him some good advice on mitigation strategies for recovering from vine damage caused by the harsh winter, including starting pre-emergent weed control early.
"We've had some great success with it," he said.
The IWC will also bring several industry experts to Idaho to hold educational seminars on various topics, including advanced tasting training, how to create wine clubs and events that increase returning customers and improving the financial health of vineyards and wineries.
The grant money will also be used to create a grower incentive program to encourage growers from out of state and within Idaho to plant grapes.

The Daily Mail reports that a forgotten recording of a 911 call could provide an essential clue in the 1984 murder of eight-year-old Gary Grant Jr., whose body was found two blocks from his home in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
The audio tape was unearthed by Gary Grant Sr. – a former police officer who was on duty the night his son went missing two days before his body was discovered – as he was going through old MP3s of phone calls. It features an anonymous caller inquiring on the possibility of collecting a reward on himself for the boy's murder.
In addition to the tape uncovered of the self-professed killer, another recording has surfaced of a second anonymous caller who provided the name of a man he claims confessed to Grant Jr.'s slaying. The alleged suspect's name has not been released.

KILGORE, TX (KLTV) - An East Texas town has decided to go smoke free. Kilgore City Council members met Tuesday night to discuss an ordinance that prohibits smoking in public places and work sites.
The new decision prohibits smoking in public places such as restaurants. The ordinance also prohibits smoking in all indoor and outdoor areas used by employees in places of employment or workplaces. Also, smoking in city parks, playgrounds, and recreational areas is prohibited.
However, there are also some exemptions in the smoking ordinance. So far, bars and other businesses who have 50 percent of their revenue generated from alcohol sales are exempt.
Residents and business owners we've talked to are split right down the middle on the smoking ban. The ones in favor of it say they can't stand the effects of second hand-smoke, while opponents are saying smokers should be able to light up wherever they want.
What do you think about the town's decision? Tell us your opinion.

'Family Guy': Fans Petition To Bring Back Brian
Supporters aren't only complaining about the death of Brian, but they've taken action into their own hands. A viewer from Alabama created a petition for fans to sign to try and get Family Guy to revive Brian. The petition reads:
[hl_youtube src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQmCjG980W4″ link="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQmCjG980W4″ text="Brian Dies On 'Family Guy'"]
Brian Griffin was an important part of our viewing experience. He added a witty and sophisticated element to the show. Family Guy and Fox Broadcasting will lose viewers if Brian Griffin is not brought back to the show. Follow us here for updates.
The writers of family guy didn't just kill off one of their creations, they killed off the dog who has lived in our homes for the last 15 years. They killed the dog we all have come to love. They killed America's dog!
Who's to say if signatures will do anything, but it does show just how upset people are!
'Family Guy' — New Dog Will Be On For At Least 6 Episodes
However, the return of Brian doesn't look good. As you know, the singing family will get a new dog, Vinnie.
"Former Sopranos star Tony Sirico will be voicing Vinnie," Tony's rep told TMZ. They also added that Vinnie will star in at least six episodes, with more likely to come.
So HollywoodLifers, would you sign the petition? Do you think that Family Guy should bring Brian back?

Hey Folks!
How you all doing? Hope everyone's enjoying the heatwave we are having at the moment.🌞🌞
Which leads me onto my run... OMG How Hot is it in the evenings?! Looks like we are well and truly having an Indian summer.👍👍
So went out for my run last night and within 10 mins wished I had carried a bottle of water (on the shopping list it goes) which sort of set the scene for the run.
It was pretty much a carbon copy from the previous one, so looks like my fitness wasn't that bad. However yesterday for the first time approx 4km into the run I started to get/feel a tingly sensation in the hands. Not sure if this is down to the weather or if it's the 5k distance.
Has anyone else had /felt this before?

The lights shine brightest in the dark of night. That's why late night TV remains such a cornucopia of amazing comedic moments, powerful interviews, and thoughtful political commentary. If you spent 2016 getting an appropriate amount of shut eye, you may have missed some of the greatest TV moments of the year. We're pleased to make you whole again with this list of our picks for the 10 Best Late Night Moments of 2016:
1. The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: Jimmy Fallon and Billy Joel Perform "Beast of Burden"
Fallon kicked off 2016 with a rousing duet of the Rolling Stones classic "Beast of Burden" with iconic singer/songwriter Billy Joel. We're not too blind to see this clip—over and over again.
2. Late Night With Seth Meyers: "Boston Accent" – The Trailer
Seth Meyers and the "Late Night" team don't do a ton of sketches, and they do even less digital shorts. This year's brilliant "Boston Accent" is a sign that that needs to change in 2017. This clip makes us want to drive straight to Worcester then bang a u-ie back over to Taunton, blow donuts in a parking lot and then do 80 on the 95 all the way back to Weymouth.
3. Jimmy Kimmel Live: President Obama Reads "Mean Tweets"
Kimmel's running bit of having celebrities read mean tweets about themselves reached a new level of amazingly awkward when President Barack Obama confronted his Twitter haters face on.
4. The Daily Show With Trevor Noah: The Tomi Lahren Interview
Noah finally truly showed off his interview chops in this 11 minute throw-down with conservative host Tomi Lahren as she takes on the Black Lives Matter movement.
5. The Graham Norton Show: Carrie Fisher Talks About Her Affair With Harrison Ford
Apparently, he wasn't such a scruffy looking nerf-herder after all. Carrie Fisher opened up about her torrid three-month affair with Harrison Ford during the filming of the original "Star Wars."
6. The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: Ben Stiller's Female Viagra Ad
Ben Stiller isn't just a great actor, he's a great spokesman—and he proved it with this fake ad for Female Viagra on Fallon.
7. Jimmy Kimmel Live: Morgan Freeman Narrates Pedestrians on Hollywood Boulevard
What looked like everyday folks meandering down Hollywood Boulevard became the most moving scene since "The Shawshank Redemption" finale thanks to some smooth voiceover work from Morgan Freeman.
8. Late Night With Seth Meyers: Seth and Leslie Jones Watch "Game of Thrones"
Just when we thought "Game of Thrones" couldn't get any more enthralling, we learned what it would be like to watch it while sitting next to Leslie Jones. We hope winter never comes. We're happy right here.
9. The Daily Show With Trevor Noah: Consuming News from Inside Your Bubble
Before the election actually went down, Noah gave us a bit of warning that things might not shake down exactly as expected by highlighting the fact that liberals and conservatives are both getting very one-sided sides of the political stories of the day.
10. The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: Patton Oswalt Speaks on Dealing With His Grief
Not every late night moment makes us laugh, and that's OK. We've always loved Patton Oswalt for his sense of humor, but we came to love him even more this year when he became open and honest about his deep sense of grief over the loss of his wife. Hats off to the comedian for keeping it so very real.

Alan Shearer seems now to be hoping that the offer from Freddy Shepherd, will eventually buy the club, and Alan will be installed as manager immediately.
Alan Shearer – not much of this if he is appointed manager
This is what the local Sunday Sun is reporting today, but there is supposed to be a major rival bid for Newcastle United imminent from a foreign group, and maybe that's the bid coming from the US, that was reported today in the News Of The World – we hope so anyway.
Shepherd has begun the exhaustive process of due diligence – going through Newcastle's books from a full financial perspective, looking for any hidden costs in an attempt to buy out Mike Ashley.
It is also being reported that Freddy will own the club, as he is financing it with his brother Bruce and son Kenneth. and it will be with their own finances.
Shearer is said to favor a Shepherd takeover, more than any of the other deals so far reported for the Newcastle club.
Since it is his own money we can only assume (and hope) the Newcastle club, if Shepherd is successful, will be run as a business and will be in good health for the long term.
A Newcastle source close to the discussions between Shearer and Shepherd last Tuesday in Newcastle, said Shearer is excited about the potential of Freddy buying the club.
The source said:
"Alan Shearer is very interested in what the Shepherd camp have to say."
"He would prefer to deal with people he knows, and he knows exactly what he will get from that group."
"Newcastle United is the football club Alan Shearer wants to manage, and that is why he has waited patiently for a breakthrough."
"But he cannot wait forever, as the BBC will soon want to know if he is going back there."
There are also reports that Seymour Pierce, the investment bank handling the Newcastle sale, are expecting a serious offer from new bidders in the next few days.
There are still some finances that haven't been completed such as a still-to-be agreed-to settlement package for Kevin Keegan, details of the £5M compensation payment to Real Mallorca for Jonas Gutierrez, and the payment arrangements on all the player purchases made in January, need to be understood in more detail.
We hope some real deals will come in for Newcastle and one of them is accepted, and as long as the new owners install Alan Shearer as manager – the club can start recovering its self respect and dignity with the faithful help of the devoted Newcastle fan-base.
Spirits will be raised on Tyneside, if only because Mike Ashley has finally left Toon, and because of the current situation, that would be an excellent first step, and will allow the Newcastle fans and the City of Newcastle to take a huge sigh of relief that the pillaging of the club may be finally over.
We hope so, anyway.
Comments welcome.

The north-east businessman claiming to be preparing a £150million takeover of Newcastle has emerged as a Sunderland fan having some "banter".
A press release issued on behalf of a 'Rick Parkinson' on Friday morning announced he had put together a five-man consortium ready to offer Mike Ashley £90million for the club.
It also claimed Parkinson would put £30million into restructuring the business and install Alan Shearer as manager with a £30million war-chest.
However, it was revealed later on Friday that the club were aware of the consortium and it has now emerged that 'Parkinson' is in fact Richard Parker, a lifelong Sunderland fan.
He told the Daily Mail: "It's all friendly banter. I'm sure the majority of Magpie fans will see the funny side but I'm afraid it is something they're going to have to put up with for a while.
"We haven't had a great deal to shout about in the last 16 years or so at Sunderland, but this summer has, without doubt, made up for all those years of hurt. Newcastle's plight, as difficult as it is for their fans, is music to our ears.
"We could easily have gone down on the final day as well, but that makes it all the funnier for Sunderland fans and nobody can really blame us for milking it for as long as we possibly can."
Its freddies fault that the club is in this position financially . Years of over the top transfer fees and wages paid out and no young players being brought through the academy . I hope one of the other groups make thier move before freddie and his family get the club or its yet more years of over spending and no silverware .
If FFS buys the club, the only way he'll be able to give any funds will be to float it on the stock market again & get loads of money that way!!
I hope & prey that he's not buying it or else were going to be in worse doo doo than we are already!!
I also hope that this supposed american who's supposedly putting in a bid this week is Paul Allan, do-founder of Microsoft, as he's a big sports fan & is worth approx $16billion 🙂
If it's not him, lets hope who ever it is has more money than Learner, Short & the Glazers put together 🙂
Worst possible news would be the Shepherds gettng their snouts back in the trough again.
If they are scrapping together the cash to buy us, he will not have the means to finance transfers etc. Hopefully he will be outbid by someone, anyone!
Dont forget his record, took over the chairmanship after SJH stewardship when NUFC had just finished second in the league, were in the Champions League, had a new stadium were the country's favourite second team, where we had the same manager in post for 5yrs , we were making a profit with money in the bank and what did he achieve with that golden legacy?
When he left we were 13th in the league, we had gone through more managers than hot dinners, we were significantly in debt to the tune of around £80-100m, we had a reputation for being the last club to play at for players way past their sell by date who were put on long expensive contracts we could not afford, he insulted and mocked the club's fans, women from the region, made racist comments and yet some people seem to think he is worthy of coming back and doing it all again get real!
Very disappointed that Shearer has allied himsef to Shepherd's mafia and his equally bent agent of a son and crook of a brother. Shepherd put us in this position with deals like £110k a week to Owen, although I suspect the hand of Shearer was in there too.
As a player, Shearer was way too powerful and pally with Shepherd and they undermined SBR amongst others. Shepherd called Shearer
"Mary Poppins " which just illustrates the man's 2 facedness.
Both AS and FS have made fortunes out of newcastle and shearer is still trying by the sound of it, despite a completely unconvincing stint as manager.
They both have massive egos which seem to go before any real genuine love for the club.
Bring on the Americans.
Just cant see this happening, Ashley keeps a tight inner sanctum and no one will know until the deal is done similar to Keegan, JFK etc which the press never got a sniff of. My money is still on a middle east bid, possibly the Omani royal family or more probably the Kuwaiti group, just cant see anyone in this country to have cash to burn.
How the mighty have fallen. We are worth the same as one player!!!! and we were competing with Man U a few years ago.
We are not a big club any more. We are slipping further behind the likes of Pompey, Citeee and the Mackems. The unwashed have 50 mil to spend this year but nobody wants us… FFS anybody?
I shall not renew until MA is gone. There is faith and stupidity. MA is taking the proverbial and I will not have the …. taken out of me to put any more money in his pocket.
5,000 in SJP may force him to sell up. But I would not bet on it. His ownership is so bad it strikes me he is doing it deliberately to punish us. He would write off a 200 mil to make us squirm. The only way to make him squirm is for him to sit in SJP with Lambias on their own paying Barton and Oba and Duff 70K a week out of his own pocket. Luv it!!!!
americans are now said to be favourates and player sales have been put on hold.
I do not see the downside with Freddy Shepherd and his family owning the club, before it was Halls who were the major shareholders and made the decisions, ie sack Robson, sell to Ashley and so on.
Freddy Shepherd will not rip himself off there is no benefit in that!!
If the Shepherd family buy us, get us up then float us again and make some money then fair enough, Shepherd will want to stay he loves the club, the Americans if they bid will try and get us up, float the club then do off.
Why people think that interested parties are struggling to scrape the money together I do not know, is it not a sign that Ashley is asking too high a price considering the lack of interest in a club which has the third highest gate numbers in the premiership?
The club is probably worth £50-£60m max plus the player contract liabilities and that is it, if it was on the market for the right price there would be a lot of interest.
The Shepherd family will be trying to pick the club up at a sensible price not paying almost double its worth. If they cannot get back up then the club will never repay the investment they have made, that is not acceptable, no-one knows if any of the championship clubs will be bought by a rich person and bank rolled in to the premiership, it could happen at anytime with any of the clubs and the likes of Newcastle would get nowhere.
"The club is probably worth £50-£60m max plus the player contract liabilities and that is it, if it was on the market for the right price there would be a lot of interest"
Market forces dictate the price, this is a combination of in laymans terms and the "want premium" and "potential return", thereon the due diligence process simply is a means to establishing whether the true picture in its entirety has been given in the financial overview of the prospectus.
How a you can come on a blog "Announce the Real Worth as 50-60m" without knowing either the financial information and/or factoring in the "want premium" without knowing who the interested parties are astounds me.
Market forces dictate value – thats it.

Exactly my point if something is too expensive there is little interest, where is all of the interest in Newcastle?
I think the Shepherds will have put ina price around its true worth, which will be no more than £90m including the liabilities of the premiership player contracts.
Ian – If FFS's bid is the highest he will win, all MA needs is two bidders with the ability and want to take the bid higher.
I dont expect FFS to be victorious – but if he is (and I would be as gutted as you would be happy) thats because the market has dictated it.
I dont think the price can be talked down at the mo – despite what FFS would prefer.
But I will take it, from our conversations on here – that you information will be bang on with regard to FF – no one better placed to give it 😉

Sublime Text 'Smart' VHDL Package
The goal of this plugin is to provide IDE-like features for VHDL (similar to my other plugin for SystemVerilog) :
Compare to the basic VHDL plugin it already proposes:
- a proper symbol definition for easy code navigation
- Some basic indentation definition
- A complete set of snippets written by https://github.com/ccornish
- Tooltip to get signal definition on mouse hover
- Generate a design hierarchy (list of every sub-block) (available in the command panel)
Future features includes code completion (for record, enum, ...), code alignement, block instantiation, ...
Syntax Highlighting:
Syntax highlighting is based on the VHDL bundle for Textmate, with a rework of scope to be aligned with the SystemVerilog plugin and some support of VHDL2008 features
Note: the default color scheme (Monokai) is missing a lot of scope, and might not give the best results. You can try my personal variation of Sunburst : https://bitbucket.org/Clams/sublimesystemverilog/downloads/Sunburst2.tmTheme
Code Navigation:
- Show signal declaration in tooltip or status bar
- Show hierarchy of a block (all its sub-block and their sub-block)
- Find Instances: find all instance of a module inside a project
Module Instance helper:
- Instantiation: Select a module from a list and create instantiation and connection
Code Alignement:
- Align module instantiation
To see all existing configuration option, go to Preferences->Package Settings->SmartVHDL->Settings (Default).
To edit settings open the Settings (User), and add parameter with the value you want.
Keymapping example
To map key to the different feature, simply add the following to your user .sublime-keymap file:
{ "keys": ["ctrl+f10"], "command": "vhdl_module_inst", "context": [ { "key": "num_selections", "operator": "equal", "operand": 1 }, { "key": "selector", "operator": "equal", "operand": "source.vhdl"} ] }, { "keys": ["ctrl+shift+a"], "command": "vhdl_align", "context": [ { "key": "selector", "operator": "equal", "operand": "source.vhdl"} ] }, { "keys": ["ctrl+alt+f"], "command": "vhdl_find_instance", "context": [ { "key": "selector", "operator": "equal", "operand": "source.vhdl"} ] }, { "keys": ["f12"], "command": "vhdl_hierarchy_goto_definition", "context":[ { "key": "selector", "operator": "equal", "operand": "text.result-vhdl"} ] }

Today it's barely a surprise to anyone following the developments in euro area, that euro is in crisis even though this may not be publicly recognised by the authorities.
Debt crisis spreads (skyrocketing CDS spreads of weaker EU countries, concerted selling of government bonds). It started from Greece; now it has hit Ireland; Portugal is on the edge; Spain and Italy are likely to be next in row; Belgium bond yields surge as investors question its ability to cut the euro region's third-highest debt load, overshadowing the country's economic performance.
The European Financial Stability Facility in the amount of EUR 750 billion is too small for solving everyone's troubles, and it is far from a common agreement of whether the Facility should be enlarged or not.
Belief into ECB's ability to control the situation is eroding.
There are large differences between countries within the euro area: while stronger and more competitive countries like Germany are now performing well, the weaker ones in southern part of Europe are not competitive and still suffer declining economy, extremely high unemployment, soaring government debt and interest payments all combined with the need for significant austerity measures and an internal devaluation. Imbalances between countries' current accounts are huge and not much improvement could be expected.
There is no certainty about the financial standing of the European banks and not even about their real exposures to the so-called PIIGS countries (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Spain). The stress test conducted in July 2010 has turned out to be too mild at best, which is illustrated by the fact that some of the banks that were declared to pass the test have already needed government support (Bank of Ireland; Allied Irish Banks PLC).
In reality, deposit insurance funds are too small to honour their promises to the depositors if any of the big banks should fail (one should also take into account that the failure of such a bank triggers domino effect in the banking system).
All the talks about spreading debt crisis, too-big-to-save's and break-up of euro area may well be self-fulfilling prophecies.
Europe needs solutions. The world needs solutions. While in longer perspective the fundamentals of money and currency regimes need to be revised, including but not limited to the economic reality that monetary union is not sustainable without political union, right now we are in the mood of crisis management. All the bailout packages to the governments and banks, the talks about the recovery being on track, ECB buying government bonds – all this only enables to gain some more time.
There are voices that say: "Better a horrible end than an endless horror." They forecast euro zone break up, some of the countries leaving euro, dividing euro zone into north and south etc. The thing is that these extreme measures are not likely to make the situation any better as nicely discussed e.g. in the recent Economist article "How to resign from the club".
Euro zone leaders and key decision makers both in public and in private sector, finest economic analysts and best brains in finance are now to show up the true leadership. Neglecting severity of the situation and hiding the problems has to be stopped. This has to be replaced by clarity and full understanding of the state of affairs. There needs to be courage to admit the mistakes made, and openly discuss the possible future scenarios and –alternatives.
Gradual write-downs of parts of sovereign debts (so that the depositors would not suffer because of problems in banking sector) may be the best option available at first (structural reforms, dealing with imbalances between countries etc. are of course necessary as well, but they are next in the row). Euro zone leaders have to prove that they are in control of the situation in the sense that they can do it in an orderly manner. The only way to avoid panics is to be fully transparent in what and why is being done. Sure, statements made by the officials so far complicate the matter. Sure, banks and investors need to cooperate, recognise the losses for the risks that they have taken and otherwise behave responsibly. Progress made shall be possible to track publicly.
It can't be that there is no solution. Lack of true willingness and conflicting powerful vested interests are those that cause crisis on euro area to persist. This sounds absurd, but unfortunately seems to be the case.

What You Need to Know About Network Security
Network security is comprised of the measures an organization takes to protect and secure its computer system. Certain practices and policies implemented by companies and organizations to monitor their systems and prevent unauthorized individuals from gaining access to their data. This involves taking appropriate measures to protect against unauthorized misuse or modification of your network resources.
A computer network consists of a system of computers and peripherals, which allow them to share resources, be modified and controlled from a central location. A computer network can also be restricted or protected as a group. Computer network security software is any software that is designed to defend a network or system against danger or risk or to ensure the safety of the data itself. This means, security software is used to protect a network from a variety of attacks, threats or unauthorized access.
Network security is a prime concern for many companies and organizations that use computer systems. Compromised network security makes a company vulnerable to attacks, making it easy for hackers or competitors to gain access to sensitive or critical data.
An effective network security assures clients and customers that confidential business details or sensitive information, such as financial records and credit card numbers will not be accessed and exploited.
The systems administrator of a company has administrator privileges and oversees network security. In many organizations, only the administrator and authorized personnel are given access to the systems computer terminals and mainframe server. This will help ensure that unauthorized staff members will not change any critical data on the network's servers. Look here to find more about protecting your company's network security and servers.
A secure firewall can also be built for the network, and this often includes a sentinel software and encryption layer. The firewall can be set up to automatically repel or prevent an unauthorized program from having access to the network. Restrictions can be placed on employees' computers so that they cannot gain access websites that are known to have malware or malicious coding. Anti-adware programs can be installed on networks as well as individual computers.
One issue that generally occurs with this type of network security for an organization is flexibility. A company's management must consider employees' ability to gain access to websites for their projects while ensuring security of their network. There needs to be effective communication among the systems administrator, company's management and staff for network security to work efficiently and for the staff to be able to gain access to resources and data they need.
Issues pertaining to security breaches and network viruses are costly and can impeded efficiency and production. To protect against breaches a company needs to invest in highly effective security measures. Firewalls, frequent security updates, sharp systems administrators, and installation of anti-adware are crucial for ensuring a safe network.
Without network security installed or implemented your organization risks unauthorized intrusions, service disruption, network downtime and even regulatory noncompliance. Taking a proactive approach to protecting your data ensures your business runs smoothly, without interruptions.

Cable and Harness design is often the most overlooked and ignored component of any electrical/electronic design. Cable and harnesses are essential to the accurate and rapid transmission of data and control signals. This has been our experience working with many Customers across all industries over the past 30 years. They tend to put all their efforts into PCB and Enclosure design, or there is not enough time to work on the wiring aspects, which can be catastrophic in some cases as a PCB redesign may be required because of interface Component selection or they did not take into account the environment the product is meant to perform in.
Get in touch with us
The designer engages with us at the concept design stage where the proposed design is discussed and its intended use. This allows us to review the concept design from a Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA), how much automation that can be applied based on the potential component selection, we always advise the Customer of the benefits of standardisation against customisation. We can, with the aid of some good industry tools advise of components lifecycle status as well as RoHS, Reach and Conflict material origins. This has proven to be invaluable to our Customers and in some cases has prevented costly PCB or product redesign.
Design for Manufacture and assembly is not just about the M&M Qualtech process, but it is also reviewed for good manufacturing practices as well as for a low cost manufacturing site which we have partners with a proven track record in this area.
We strive to become your product life cycle manufacturing partner, collaborating with you from early concept all the way through to end of life.
M&M Qualtech are with you every step of the way, working with you to achieve your goals of quality, dependability and delivery.

The Role of Exercise Testing in the Modern Management of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Scottish Pulmonary Vascular Unit, Golden Jubilee National Hospital, Agamemnon Street, Clydebank G81 4DY, UK
Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Received: 12 April 2014 / Revised: 28 April 2014 / Accepted: 30 April 2014 / Published: 28 May 2014
(This article belongs to the Special Issue Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH))
AbstractA culture of exercise testing is firmly embedded in the management of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) but its clinical relevance and utility have recently been under some debate. The six minute walk test (6MWT) has been used as a primary outcome measure to enable the licensing of many of the medications used for this condition. Recent reviews have questioned the validity of this test as a surrogate of clinical outcomes. At the same time, other questions are emerging where exercise testing may be the solution. With the rise in understanding of genetic markers of idiopathic PAH (IPAH), the screening of an otherwise healthy population for incipient pulmonary hypertension (PH) will be required. The proliferation in treatment choices and identification of populations with PH where PAH treatment is not indicated, such as left heart and lung disease, requires more definitive differentiation from patients with PAH. There is a continuing question about the existence and clinical relevance of exercise induced PAH as a cause of unexplained dyspnoea and fatigue and as a latent phase of resting PH. This review presents a summary and critical analysis of the current role of exercise testing in PAH and speculates on future trends. View Full-Text

A Bronze Sculpture is the Center of a Divorce Dispute
The value of a bronze sculpture was being contested by a husband and wife in a divorce case. While the wife claimed the sculpture was extremely valuable, the husband contended that it was practically worthless.
A call was received by Art Directives Inc from the wife about the disputed sculpture. She was asked to bring it into the offices for appraisal. The sculpture depicted a seated female nude. It had a brown patina and was signed with the letter "G" on the bottom and marked Calif. Art Bronze Fnry, L.A.
In our research we determined that the sculpture was made by Gibbons. Because of his prominence and his contributions to the movie industry, the bronze sculpture by Gibbons would have great appeal to the collector of movie memorabilia. Therefore the piece was made more valuable by Gibbon's celebrity status.
In evaluating the Gibbons bronze sculpture, Art Directives took into consideration that, though there are no recorded sales for his art, his contributions to the motion picture industry enhanced the value of his personal artwork. By using comparables from other artists with celebrity status, Art Directives Inc. concluded that the fair market value of the bronze sculpture was $7,500.00.

House Democrats, committed to a government-run health care option, told FOX News they are considering a windfall profits tax on insurance companies as a way to pay for pricey health care proposals Thursday.
Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., said that Democrats consider it a better alternative than the Senate's excise tax on 'Cadillac' health plans,' which he believes will be dead on arrival in conference.
Democrats are interested in a windfall tax, not because the insurance companies are villains, but because they are huge stakeholders, Connolly said.
He added that without action, insurers will get a "free ride at the expense of American taxpayers."
Neither Connolly nor Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., put a price on the tax or how much it was expected to bring in.
The two main ways to pay for the so-called public option -- according to House Democrats -- are Medicare rates plus five percent or individually negotiated rates that are 10 to 15 percent below prevailing insurance rates.
Connolly told FOX News that most Democrats favor the Medicare plus five option.

At a rally, Republican presidential contender Ben Carson has a simple solution for preventing a Paris-style attack: "If a bunch of terrorists came in here and there were people in here with guns, it would be very unlikely that they would be able to carry about the kind of massacre they did in Paris." The Associated Press cites a snag in that approach: the demands of Secret Service agents protecting him at his request (and at taxpayer expense). They don't allow any guns except those carried by authorized personnel. At Carson's events as well as Donald Trump's, there's a dissonance between the faith they put in the hands of armed citizens to keep public events safe and the Secret Service protection they rely on for their own security.
To be sure, a campaign rally with a polarizing candidate on stage is not the same as a soccer stadium or nightclub like the ones attacked in Paris. The Secret Service began protecting some candidates in presidential primaries after the killing of Robert Kennedy in 1968. Yet for the public, political rallies to which the agency is assigned are decidedly the "gun-free zones" that Trump has called for ending and that Carson supports doing away with, too, judging from his rhetoric. Trump and Carson have joined Democrat Hillary Clinton as the only 2016 candidates with Secret Service details at this point. Clinton has had some level of protection since 1992, when her husband, Bill, was elected president. Protection for Carson and Trump began in November.

Employing Waste Management to Boost Success
Every week we drag those three cans to the curb for the garbage truck. There's the landfill can for the garbage we want to be rid of. There's the recycle can for the items that can be reused or repurposed. And there's the green can for items that can be composted.
We might want to consider a waste management program for our thoughts and experiences as well.
There are those ideas and thoughts that just need to go – negative self-talk being at the top of the list along with those that have become sink-holes for time and energy. These need to go to the landfill. Out of our minds and lives. Goodbye, sayonara, adios, good riddance.
There are ideas and experience that have produced positive returns for us in minor and major ways but have served their original purpose. Many of these can be recycled or repurposed for bigger goals or other ventures.
Then there are those ideas and experience that have bloomed and completed their growth cycles, but they have an organic nature to them that gives them a compostable energy for our imaginative minds.
Think about it – when you drag those cans to the curb, take a few minutes to review your week and get rid of what holds you back, recycle what can be used again and send those organics to the compost pile to enhance the creative soil in the mind!
