WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Polish rescue workers on Sunday found the bodies of two miners after an earthquake hit a coal mine in southern Poland. |
Three other miners remain missing some 900 meters (2,950 feet) below ground since the quake hit Saturday morning in the mine, located in the town of Jastrzebie-Zdroj, close to Poland's border with the Czech Republic. |
The head of the Jastrzebie Coal Company, Daniel Ozon, said a doctor confirmed the two fatalities and identification of the victims was underway. |
The first victim, initially identified by Ozon as a 38-year-old man, had been trapped under some metal. Ozon said the identification still needed to be confirmed by DNA tests. The second miner was found a few hours later, trapped in the rubble, he added. |
More than 200 workers were involved in the rescue operation, working through twisted machinery and metal parts to get to the area where they expect to find the missing men. Ozon said emergency workers were pumping air into the affected area to lower the level of methane gas before they can safely move ahead. |
A minor quake Sunday afternoon briefly delayed rescue efforts as it released more methane into the search area, Ozon said. |
After the quake hit, four miners were rescued quickly but seven others went missing. Two of the missing were later found alive and have been hospitalized. |
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and President Andrzej Duda travelled to the town, visiting the hospitalized miners and meeting with their families and some of the rescuers. Duda extended his condolences to the victims' families. |
Authorities have launched an investigation into the accident. It was not clear if coal extraction would resume Monday. |
Poland's State Mining Authority said the temblor had a magnitude of 3.4, while the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre pegged it at 4.3. TVN24 said the quake was also felt on the surface and shook some houses. |
Coal mining is a major industry in Poland. Coal remains the main source of energy and heating in the country but Poland is taking some steps to shift toward renewable, cleaner sources of energy. The Main Statistical Office said some 65.8 million metric tons (58.7 million tonnes) of coal were extracted last year in Pola... |
Still many of Poland's mines are dangerous, with methane gas that has led to a number of deadly explosions and cave-ins. So far this year, six miners including Sunday's casualties have been killed at different mines, according to the State Mining Authority. |
In 2016, eight miners were killed in a cave-in at the Rudna mine in Polkowice and methane explosions killed five miners at the Myslowice-Wesola mine in 2014. |
Scientists have found it challenging to understand why some breast cancers become resistant to drugs. A recent study concludes that a sticky protein might be the answer. |
A glue-like protein may help to explain breast cancer drug resistance. |
The hormone estrogen plays a vital part in the development of breast cancer. |
An estimated 70 percent of all breast cancers are estrogen receptor (ER)-positive. |
Put simply, this means that estrogen is the driver of cancerous cell growth in these individuals. |
Usually, the hormone attaches itself to estrogen receptors and encourages healthy cell growth. However, increased activity from these receptors can also fuel breast cancer. |
While researchers are well aware of estrogen's role, they have failed to solve a particular problem when it comes to treatment. |
People who have an ER-positive form of breast cancer are usually prescribed drugs to stop it from spreading. These work by either lowering estrogen levels or hindering receptor activity. |
But, approximately one third of people treated using endocrine therapy become resistant to the drugs and are, therefore, less likely to benefit. |
A new study might have found a reason for this drug resistance. Carried out by Rocío Sampayo, a Ph.D. student based at the Instituto de Nanosistemas, Universidad Nacional de San Martin, and Instituto de Oncología "Angel H. Roffo," Universidad de Buenos Aires — both in Argentina — it examined the influence of a glue-lik... |
This substance forms part of a network of proteins and molecules that surround cells. Cancerous cells seek and take over nearby tissue, thereby coming into contact with the fibronectin protein. |
The study, published in the Journal of Cell Biology, found that when cancerous cells were exposed to fibronectin, the activity of estrogen receptors was boosted. |
The reason for this could be relatively simple. In a normal cell, estrogen receptors are often "eaten up" by lysosomes, but in a breast cancer cell, they are protected by fibronectin and continue to promote growth. |
Sampayo thinks that fibronectin could be the missing puzzle piece that allows "breast cancer cells to become resistant to common endocrine therapy drugs that target the receptor." |
By developing a drug that can affect the relationship between the protein fibronectin and estrogen receptors, drug-resistant breast cancers could become a thing of the past. |
This is likely to take some time and will require further research before concrete conclusions can be made. However, these findings might be the key to a novel form of cancer treatment. |
Deming is the county seat in Luna County, New Mexico and has been named a “Rock-Hunters Paradise” due in part to its ever-present sun and flowing desert rocks and cacti. |
The history of the area dates back nearly 1,000 years ago, when the Mimbres Indians, the first people known to inhabit the area, lived in villages along the Mimbres River and farmed the area. Primitive though they were, the pictures of daily life they painted inside their pottery reflect their gifted creativity and tod... |
The city, founded in 1881 and incorporated in 1902, was an important port of entry on the US-Mexican border until the Gadsded Purchase of 1853. The city is named after Mary Ann Deming Crocker, wife of Charles Crocker, one of The Big Four of the railroad industry. The Silver Spike was driven here in 1881 to commemorate ... |
With an average annual rainfall of approximately 9", the climate is classified as "arid continental." Fall, winter, and spring are normally dry; because of the altitude (4331 feet), summers are characterized by moderately warm days; there is some snow in the winter, but it melts nearly as fast as it falls! |
Population 14,855 includes retirees, farmers, government employees. |
Deming’s economy is based on transportation, real estate, agriculture, energy, retirement, tourism, and the United States Department of Homeland Security. Deming provides access to Chihuahua, Mexico, via the village of Columbus, New Mexico, 30 miles to the south. Deming also sits astride one of the major railroad lines... |

Award: CEO of the Year. Winner: Josh Linkner, Founder, CEO - ePrize L.L.C. |
Josh Linkner, founder and CEO of online promotions firm ePrize L.L.C., said there is a fertile climate for his business growth. |
After securing $32 million from investors in the first quarter and a $10 million loan from Charter One Bank N.A. administered by the Michigan Economic Development Corp. in July, the company is primed to expand. |
The ad agency and software company has endured a long haul after the dot-com bust. Now, Linkner, 36, has a 250-employee staff in five U.S. cities and London and 2,000 completed promotions for clients such as The Coca-Cola Co., American Express Co., Gap Inc. and General Motors Corp. |
The companys goal by 2009 is to increase revenue to $100 million and the number of employees to 750. This year, he expects revenue to be at $40 million, up from almost $29 million in 2005. |
One of Linkners business models is to stamp out 30-second commercials in favor of permission-based marketing. When there were few programming options, advertisers would pay for airtime and almost always have a captive audience for their commercials. He proposed that instead of casting a wide net, advertisers encoura... |
Although ePrize has offices in Chicago, New York City, Dallas and Los Angeles, Zellen is encouraged that Linkner has kept ePrizes headquarters in Southeast Michigan. |
He knows its a good place to find talent, Zellen said. |
CHELSMFORD, Mass. — A Massachusetts school bus driver has been arrested after students about to depart on a field trip say they smelled marijuana smoke on the bus. |
Chelmsford police say 63-year-old Ali Mahfuz was charged Tuesday with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs and reckless child endangerment. |
He was released on personal recognizance after pleading not guilty. The Chelmsford High students said they smelled marijuana, and told a teacher. The principal then boarded the bus, also smelled pot, and had the teens disembark. |
Police say Mahfuz had "red and glassy" eyes and his speech was "very slow and deliberate." Police say Mahfuz was in possession of a small amount of marijuana and a glass pipe. |
Mahfuz, of Nashua, New Hampshire, told the Boston Herald that he denies smoking marijuana. |
Weston talks to MTV News about portraying real-life surf legend Jay Moriarty in the film opening Friday. |
Jonny Weston knew that playing legendary surfer Jay Moriarty in the new biopic "Chasing Mavericks" wasn't going to be easy. He had to somehow embody the late surfing icon who changed the game for many a young surfer. |
But, lucky for the up-and-coming actor, he had not only the support of the California surfer's real-life friends and family to show him the ropes, but also his co-star Gerard Butler. |
"I put that pressure on myself," he told MTV News about being cast in the film, which opens Friday. "Like all of Jay's family and everybody were supportive." |
"[His wife] Kim spent a lot of time one on one with me, and [Jay's friend and surfboard shaper] Bob Pearson showed me kind of Jay's surfing side and took me out to where he would surf," he shared about the work he put in before filming began. "It was really helpful ... and at a certain point it started becoming a form ... |
The film follows the story of Moriarty, a surfing legend who rose to fame after he was featured on the cover of Surfer magazine. From there, he spent his career chasing some of the biggest waves he could, alongside his pal, Frosty Hesson (played by Gerard Butler). At the age of 22, Jay died in a diving accident in the ... |
The film not only pays homage to the late surfer's life, but also his kinship with Frosty. And, Weston says he learned a lot working so closely with Butler. "We spent a lot of time together. As soon as I met him in the audition, we already had a good connection," he shared. "I think in order to do a film, you have to s... |
"I guess we're both kind of full of life and we're both kind of aggressive and we're both trying to find out how to be in the moment as much as possible," he said. "It just works, it's hard to explain. Sometimes it just works." |
And, they had to certainly embrace some of those insane tendencies as they jumped from wave to wave while filming. And, things got intense at times, so much so that Butler was badly injured in the midst of shooting the film. It's watching that sort of passion and dedication to the craft that taught Wesson quite a lot. |
"I think the majority of what I learned from him was from watching him and working with him on set," he recalled. "But I certainly had some questions for him regarding [my] career ... and I think you need a mentor in something like this, for sure. And he's willing to do that. To this day he's one of my best friends and... |
With the film hitting theaters this week, Wesson notes that having spent some time as Jay certainly has affected the way he views life these days. He added, "I'll always have a piece of Jay now." |
" ... why aren't we blaming the parents? ... " |
I do. But have found that the parents are "f'ing p'ssies" too. |
Fiat currencies are backed by governents and the whole economy that uses them. Which is why they've been so successful throughout history. But even some of those fail. Bitcoin is truly backed by nothing but faith When faith wobbles, governments can try to step in to save their currencies (see the Euro for a recent exam... |
Bitcoin's also a bubble. Because people are backing it as an investment, but there's no possible return but other investors. And that very process has destroyed its use as a currency, as transaction costs are now so ludicrous. |
But bubbles pop when they're ready to. This is what makes them so dangerous. The people that see it, get told they've been "proved wrong" and so ignored. Until they're finally proved right later. I think it was UBS that sacked their CEO partly for refusing to buy all those nice mortgage backed CDOs in the last decade -... |
