Burrell, who turns 23 this year, says although following in his father's footsteps is difficult, he is determined to stay true to his musical legacy. |
"My dad was a perfectionist and this was highlighted through the music he produced. He was authentic and stayed true to the roots, which is why I intend to produce only clean, authentic music as he was a firm believer in good reggae/dancehall music," he said. |
Living Heart is the latest project by Burrell. In July, he released a mixtape called Project X to celebrate his father's birthday. |
Project X was the first mixtape on the newly-formed XTM Nation label. It has 27 tracks by dancehall/reggae acts like Sizzla, Lutan Fyah, Ini Kamoze and Hammond. |
Phillip 'Fattis' Burrell was founder of the Xterminator label, one of the most successful labels in modern reggae. |
Some of his finest productions are Where There is Life, the 1995 album by Luciano; Hotter this Year (Ini Kamoze), Man With the Handle (Sanchez) and Run Things (Sugar Minott). |

A decade ago Richard "Aphex Twin" James released two EPs very limited in number, cryptic in title and pioneering sonically. In 1995 drum'n'bass was the latest significant innovation in dance music and James adopted his more experimental AFX moniker for his take on the genre. The sound was tagged "drill'n'bass" as the p... |
The global positioning system, or GPS, that people use every day for navigation, may actually provide an easy avenue for a terrorist attack. GPS jamming is becoming an increasing problem; GPS expert and assistant professor at the University of Texas recently exposed how location technology creates a gaping hole in nati... |
Humphreys' team built the world's most powerful GPS spoofer, which dupes GPS antennas with fake signals. In a demonstration with Fox News, Humphreys showed how his device injected spoofing signals into the ship's GPS antennas, providing inaccurate information. A hacker could use this to hijack the ship and disorient it... |
"Imagine shutting down a port," Humphrey's said. "Imagine running a ship aground. These are the kinds of implications we're worried about." |
The attacks aren't limited to ships. Spoofing attacks can be used to attack any system using GPS technology, including commercial airlines and drones. Congress has had Humphrey's speak with the FAA, CIA and Pentagon on GPS security, but little has been done to address the threat. |
GPS is shut down every day for 10 minutes around the London Stock Exchange, most likely by a delivery driver using a cheap (less than $80) jamming device to dodge his bosses' attempts to track his location, according to The Economist. These devices use electromagnetic noise to block GPS signals, but also affect other G... |
North Korea uses them to block GPS signals in South Korea. In 2012, North Korea ran them for 16 days, disrupting GPS on 1,016 aircraft and 254 maritime ships. |
Humphreys experiment was the first time that showed how a hacker could actually control a vehicle through GPS, not just interfere with it. |
Some governments are experimenting with new, more secure location tracking systems, but GPS is so ubiquitous that it has become indispensable for many people. For now, they remain vulnerable. |
"People need to know this kind of thing is possible with a relatively small budget and they can with a very simple system steer the ship off-course -- without the Captain knowing," Humphreys said. |
Individualised prognostic tools and gene-based therapies can enhance the survival and quality of life of patients with glioblastoma, an aggressively fatal type of brain cancer, reports a new study by University of Illinois funded by the NIH National Cancer Institute. |
"We confirmed known biomarkers of glioblastoma survival and discovered new general and clinical-dependent gene profiles," said Nicola Serao, a U of I Ph.D. candidate in animal sciences with a focus in statistical genomics. "We were able to compare biomarkers across three glioblastoma phases that helped us gain insight ... |
Glioblastoma is a complex, multifactorial disease that has swift and devastating consequences, Serao said. Although some genes have been associated with the presence of glioblastoma, few have been identified as prognostic biomarkers of glioblastoma survival and fewer have been confirmed in independent reports. |
"You can't just find one gene that is related to this cancer and fix it," he said. "This is one of the aspects of our research that makes it unique. We were able to look at several genes at the same time and relate our findings to this cancer." |
Using genomic information from more than 22,000 genes, Serao took this huge piece of information and began slicing away at it, one gene at a time, until he ended up with a group of genes related to brain cancer. |
He studied different survival variables, including length of survival from birth to death, from diagnosis to death, and from diagnosis to progression of the cancer. |
"We studied different variables, but they were complementary, and allowed us to learn more about those genes," he said. "We understand that some genes have much more impact in cancer than others. And we also discovered that some genes only appeared in one variable, so they were specific for a given phase of cancer." |
This study not only evaluated genes influencing survival, but also took into consideration clinical factors such as age, race and gender. |
"Our research suggests you can't treat all patients the same," Serao said. "For example, we found gene expression patterns that have different, and sometimes opposite, relationships with survival in males and females and concluded that treatments affecting these genes will not be equally effective. Personalized therapy... |
Recognizing that genes seldom act alone, this team of researchers took several genes into consideration at the same time and uncovered networks of genes related to glioblastoma survival. |
Sandra Rodriguez Zas, co-researcher and U of I professor of animal science and bioinformatics, said they looked at commonalities between the genes linked to glioblastoma survival and progression, too. |
"If a large number of genes linked to survival belong to a particular pathway, this pathway is considered enriched," Rodriguez Zas said. "Depending on whether the pathway and genes have tumor suppressor or oncogenic characteristics, we should be able to use that information to support or attack that pathway with target... |
Gaining a deeper understanding of the biological meaning, or roles, for these genes will provide researchers with even more ammunition to fight this deadly form of brain cancer. |
"Because of the innovative approach we used, we believe we can more confidently predict whether a patient will have a shorter or longer survival rate and select the most adequate therapies," she said. |
This study, "Cell cycle and aging, morphogenesis, and response to stimuli genes are individualized biomarkers of glioblastoma progression and survival," was published in BMC Medical Genomics. Researchers include Nicola Serao, Kristin Delfino, Bruce Southey, Jonathan Beever and Sandra Rodriguez Zas of the University of ... |

A protein enables sections of so-called junk DNA to be cut and pasted within genetic code, a finding which could speed up the development of gene therapies, has been discovered by researchers. |
It is not very often that we see the US dollar and gold prices move in the same direction. Since gold is priced in dollars, the value of the yellow metal tends to fall when the dollar rises and rise when the dollar falls. However this has not been the case since January 14th as the rally in the US dollar corresponds wi... |
The last time we saw this traditionally negative correlation turn into a positive one was in 1982. At that time, recession hit many countries including the US. Although the rise in gold prices can be partially attributed to future inflation problems, the cohesive movement in the value of gold and the US dollar suggests... |
The rally in the US dollar and gold is telling the market that investors are worried about global economic stability outside of the US and therefore they are preparing for the worst. |

Everton boss Roberto Martinez says he is "proud" of his players for a "phenomenal" season despite losing their final home game 3-2 to Manchester City. |
City's Sergio Aguero cancelled out Ross Barkley's stunning opener and the visitors then stormed ahead through an Edin Dzeko brace before Romelu Lukaku's header left them with an anxious last 25 minutes. |
Everton now sit three points above sixth-placed Tottenham with a superior goal difference and are certain to finish fifth and claim a place in the Europa League. |
A healthy diet includes adequate serving sizes of different food groups. |
3 What Is a Serving According to the Pyramid for Nutrition? |
Dieters hear it all the time: Watch your portion sizes! The USDA breaks down recommendations for a healthy diet into food categories and offers some guidance on how much of each group you should eat. While the USDA doesn’t set rigid rules regarding how much and what to eat, it does offer some general guidance to help p... |
In determining serving sizes, the USDA considered these factors: typical portion sizes as determined through surveys, ease of use, nutrient content and tradition based on previous food guides. The USDA uses these factors differently depending on the food group. For instance, nutrient content was most important for dete... |
Nutrition labels on foods may recommend serving sizes that are slightly different from those on the food pyramid. Before the U.S. Food and Drug Administration adopted new regulations, individual manufacturers set serving sizes. Now, they’re more standardized to allow easier comparison of similar foods. Many food manufa... |
What a food manufacturer considers a serving may not be what the USDA Food Pyramid considers a serving. A bagel maker, for instance, might consider one 4-ounce bagel as one serving, but the Food Pyramid considers a serving as one-half of a 3-inch bagel – or one ounce. That four-ounce bagel would therefore equal four Py... |
While the USDA Food Pyramid, and its newer incarnation called ChooseMyPlate, recommends smaller portions in the determination of serving sizes, how much you should eat actually depends on your age, gender, weight and activity level. The My Plate daily food plan recommends different serving sizes for each food group bas... |

Muslims should be prohibited from gaining citizenship in non-Muslim states unless it is a “life or death” situation, a Saudi scholar said. |
Furthermore, they should be banned from visiting the West as tourists, he said. |
Sheikh Muhammad Al-Habdan, a member of the Muslim Scholars Association, said travel to Western nations by Muslims should be limited to trade or medical treatment – but not for tourism. |
“The principle is that a Muslim is not allowed to obtain citizenship of an infidel state, unless it is essential, as in cases of life or death,” Al-Habdan said in an interview late last month with Ahwaz TV. |
His comments were translated into English by the Middle Eastern Media Research Institute (MEMRI). |
Conditions for any Muslim traveling to the West, Al-Habdan said, should include being well-versed in Islam to “protect him from doubts” and from “lust”; “legitimate” reasons for going, including “to conduct trade, to study, or from fear of being killed”; and to stay only as long as the reasons persist to be a necessity... |
LEXINGTON, Ky., Feb. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Ramaco Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: METC) ("Ramaco" or the "Company") today announced preliminary, unaudited financial results for the year ended December 31, 2018, as well as financial and operational guidance for 2019. |
In 2018, Ramaco sold over 2.1 million tons, and realized revenue of approximately $228 million. Ramaco is guiding to an estimated net income for 2018 of approximately $23.5 to $24.5 million and adjusted EBITDA of approximately $41 to $43 million. Capital expenditures through the year ended December 31, 2018 were approx... |
Based upon committed sales, development plans and production forecasts, Ramaco expects 2019 coal production in the range of 1.8 to 2.2 million tons. The Company expects the average cash cost per ton to be between $63-$69 per ton at the Elk Creek mine complex and $120-$135 at the Berwind development mine, respectively. ... |
At the Elk Creek mine, the cost guidance for 2019 of $63-$69 per ton (up from 2018 estimated costs of $60 per ton) are expected to result from an increase in sales related costs associated with higher sales realizations. Using a midpoint of $66 per ton cost at our Elk Creek deep and surface complex, this sales price wo... |
Randall Atkins, Ramaco's Executive Chairman and Chief Financial Officer stated, "We continue to evolve Ramaco into an important presence in the United States metallurgical coal space. We completed 2018 with significantly stronger financial and operational results over 2017 in nearly every metric. Year over year, our sa... |
"As we look to 2019, we are optimistic. We have started the year with our strongest operating results since inception. To date, we have placed almost 2.0 million tons of our 2019 production. Our current fixed price sales of 1.6 million tons are at $113 per ton. This is almost 50% higher than our 2018 average sales pric... |
"The Company has also committed nearly an additional 350,000 tons at indexed pricing, approximately 230,000 tons of domestic business and 120,000 tons of export business. We anticipate selling the balance of our 2019 met coal production principally into the Atlantic export markets. Five percent of our overall 2019 prod... |
Michael Bauersachs, President and CEO added that, "As we announced last year, we were challenged by the silo failure at our Elk Creek complex in the fourth quarter. We were able to continue operating at all our mines and creatively restarted the preparation plant in December. Our permanent belt workaround at Elk Creek ... |
"Due to not being able to wash coal while we addressed the silo failure, coupled with the exceptional productivities and mining conditions that we have experienced thus far in the first quarter, we have built an unprecedented amount of raw coal inventories. At year end, our raw coal inventories at Elk Creek were over 3... |
Randall Atkins continued, "Finally, we are also very happy to announce that C. Lynch Christian of Lynchburg, Virginia has been elected to join our Board of Directors as an independent director at the time of our annual meeting in June. Lynch has a long career in various facets of the Appalachian coal industry and will ... |

It’s no secret attendance at Safeco Field is down. Just turn on the TV and see for yourself. |
Well, the Mariners aren’t going out of business any time soon. Their place on Sauter’s list, behind only the Baltimore Orioles (No. 2) and Cleveland Indians (No. 1), is a bit misleading. |
The percent declines in attendance are based on a comparison of 2001 numbers with 2010 numbers. In other words, the analysis compares attendance for the best team in Mariners history with attendance for the third-worst in team history in terms of losses. Attendance dropped 40.54 percent from 2001 to 2010. But is there ... |
