Hot social website BuzzFeed, which mixes user- and staff-generated links, video, and commentary with sponsored posts from advertisers, has raised $19.3 million in a financing round led by venture capital firm NEA.
Hot social website BuzzFeed, which mixes user- and staff-generated links, video, and commentary with sponsored posts from advertisers, today said it had raised $19.3 million in a financing round led by venture capital firm NEA.
Other investors in the financing round included previous investors RRE, Hearst, SoftBank, and Lerer Ventures, as well as new investors Michael and Kass Lazerow, co-founders of Buddy Media.
A spokeswoman also confirmed that it was launching a new vertical focused on entertainment out of Los Angeles starting Monday.
Having raised $15 million from investors only last year, BuzzFeed is clearly set on expansion. Company founder and CEO Jonah Peretti said in a news announcement today that the company sought to become "the next great media company. We are all focused on that big goal and raised this capital to move even faster."
More specifically, BuzzFeed said it will use the capital for mobile development, geographical and editorial expansion, investing in video, and to work on unspecified new initiatives that will be announced later in the year.
The company saw more than 40 million unique monthly visitors in December according to Google Analytics, with growth driven by social (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest) and mobile (over one-third of all BuzzFeed traffic). BuzzFeed also said content-driven advertising had pushed revenue up more than threefold in 2012 over the previous year. It also grew staff to 180 employees.
A year ago the New York-based company hired Ben Smith, formerly of Politico, as its first editor-in-chief. It has also launched 10 content verticals and added bureaus in Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles. In September, BuzzFeed also hired Jeff Greenspan from Facebook and BBDO as its first chief creative officer to work to create shareable branded content using BuzzFeed technology.

Don't feel too bad, Sharjah. The Paris of the Middle East is gearing up for 12 hour power outages. Every. Single. Day.
June 1, 2010 7:30 by shafeer
Sharjah is not alone as it grapples with the issues of energy production, cost, and incentives to business.
Beirut ranked 172nd for its quality of living, compared with 221 cities around the world, according to the 2010 Mercer quality of life index. Lebanon's capital posted 16th in the region, with a score of 54.6 points, compared to the global mean of 75.5 points, and the MENA and Arab means of 62 points and 61.7 points respectively.
Let's consider that for a moment. Beirut: beautiful sparkling jewel of the Mediterranean, Paris of the Middle East — sundrenched shoreline, cosmopolitan ambience, world class dining, great theatre, shopping. This country is so beloved to its Diaspora, that Lebanese workers abroad send home an estimated 7 billion annually in remittances. The current prime minister is a forbes ranked billionaire, who forged a coalition government incorporating the nation's diverse constituency as a matter of expectation.
So, when Beirut posted such a poor showing, those of us that live here, couldn't help wondering if the people at Mercer know what we know: something about a little 700 MW gap between its energy needs and its energy production.
Lebanon produces less than 1,600 MW of electricity but the actual need exceeds 2,300 MW. And many of Lebanon's residents are looking square in the face of another summer where the government warns of daily power cuts totaling as much as 12-16 hour — just as millions of tourists and expats descend on the tiny nation for summer holidays. Power cuts that last 12 hours a day, every day, put a big chill on commerce, tourism, and investor confidence – and don't do much for our quality of life, either.
A couple of years ago, I lived in the sprawling urban capital of a tiny Latin American country with a large and infamous reputation. While residing in said capital –which shall remain nameless to protect the honor of its very fine inhabitants –my friends in Lebanon very much enjoyed jokes at my expense. One friend in particular, a lifelong Beiruti resident, was fond of saying, "what is it that attracts you to such primitive places?" To this comment, I can only say, "They managed to keep the lights on."
ED'S NOTE: An earlier version of this story erroneously claimed there was a 7,000 MW gap between energy supply and demand. We regret the error.

Oh we all just love Lebanon because of it's daily power outages!
We now no longer fear Black outs the way Americans do , and that is our charm
Hey!!! 2,300-1600= 700 not 7000! Do your math!
HAHA the first comment is soooo true about Lebanese no longer fearing black outs as Americans do!!!! they really do freak out here in America . people chill just light a candle, drink tea and smoke hookah and everything will be fine!!!!

Skype for Windows Phone 7 sheds beta label, still won't work in the background
Skype for Windows Phone 7 has ditched the beta label and been updated to version 1.0.
The new update, released by Microsoft, adds the ability to search for and add new contacts, as well as call landline numbers from the app over Wi-Fi and 3G.
The app also improves stability and fixes some bugs, according to Microsoft.
Sadly, however, there is still no background functionality in the app. As soon as you exit the app you will be disconnected from Skype.
However those who have used the background functionality of the iPhone or iPad version of the Skype app will know that battery life is heavily affected when it is running. We hate to think what the affects would be on the Nokia Lumia 800, for example.
Officially Skype tells us: "This issue will be fixed in a future release but timing is to be determined."
Skype for Windows Phone is also now available in 18 languages: English, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, European Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Swedish, and Traditional Chinese.
The new update is available now in Marketplace.

I want to sit at your feet
Drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breathe, feel your heart beat
This love is so deep, its more than I can stand
I melt in your peace, its overwhelming
Drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breathe, feel your heart beat
This love is so deep, its more than I can stand
I melt in your peace, its overwhelming
-The More I Seek You by Kari Jobe
|drawing - where I can pour out my soul or it shows exactly what my heart wants.
I love the moment when I can find Jesus I mean where your heart and His heart connected then you started to have a sweet conversation with Him.
But it is easily found when I am in searching of my heart-comforter because He is close to the brokenhearted.
and a sweet conversation started...
"Oh Jesus, I wonder and wonder that it must be wonderful feeling when it's real that I lay back on You and I can feel Your heart beats"
then the answer just simply came to my heart
"My heart beat for the lost dear Eva, the time is coming soon"
but my dear friends, I was in busy days this week I didn't really click of what He said until tonight. I know my heart speaks the whole week from days to days, even when I was doing something - and tonight I just understood.
"Oh Jesus, forgive me..."
" My dear, it's always wonderful to have you laying back against Me and feel My heart beat"
Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank you for being here with me and You love to have conversation with me.
I am praying that Your spirit continually lead me to stand and to help the lost to stand. I know it's not easy. I know it well. I know how I am struggling so hard to stand then when You back You find me still standing but then I realized that it's not enough, I am here not for myself but for You so please guide me that I can help people stand.
I am unworthy but You love me and You confide in me to do this. Thank you for that.
Thank you Lord Jesus.

we picked this riad restaurant from write-ups on trip advisor and what a meal. A 5 course banquet comprising of the most fantastic tastes. The best meal we had in Marrakech.
We wanted to splash out on a special meal and I'm glad we chose Kniza. It's very difficult to find but if you start at the wall end of Bab Doukala, it's the second avenue on the right. The staff couldn't be friendlier and more attentive. A 5 course set meal cost around £90 with a good bottle of wine (hugely expensive in Moroccan terms but worth every penny). We loved it and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to sample good Moroccan food.
We did a morning at the cookery school under the expert guidance of Amina. Then ate our meal on the glorious terrace with wonderful service. What a place!
Stunning setting. Amazing food and perfect service. Highly recommended for a romantic evening away from the labyrinthine chaos of marrakesh street life
Lamb Tagine .... Yum! And the starter was a great selection of delicious Moroccan treats. Have your food on the roof terrace - very nice in the evening as the sun sets. You can hear the call to prayer echo out across the city

About "heart-music" by alcinoo
Design by alcinoo
Listen to your critics
listen to your nipple
I;d like the end of the steth to be a bit bigger, it looks a little awkward as tiny as it is. Overall I think the design is a bit small, but I love the concept!
music only eminates from my belly button tyvm. 5
The stethoscope is aimed at the heart isn't it?
Nice design.
Regardless of placement, this concept is BORING. At least the execution is good. 3
Lol @ top boob, Love the idea.

Day 2...and here we go again...
... commemorate his many victories...needless to say, Waterloo is nowhere to be found. We started our trip down the Champs-Élysées , a world famous boulevard known for its chic and very exclusive designer shopping. Our first stop was at Louis Vuitton for a bit of window shopping for some of us and actual purchases for others...I was in the first group. Our next stop, and probably my favorite, was La Duree, known throughout the world for ...
I'm in Paris
... two-and-a-quarter hours, speeding below the English Channel. It wasn't really much of a decision. Our taxi was booked for 9.15am, but it arrived a nanosecond after 9am. The girl at reception last night had said to allow 45 minutes to get to St Pancras station, but it took us less than 20 minutes. That meant we were checked in, passed through security and passport checks with more than an hour to spare. No questions were asked about my damaged passport. ...
... 20m long barrels, that could deliver 1 tonne shells into Kent, 40 km away. With the cloud cover, fog and sea mist our visibility was approx 5 km - therefore no White Cliffs of Dover, though Kelly played the song. We meandered along the coast south for another 20 km through farmland before a stop then towards Abbeville, deciding to stay off the main highway in parts to see the smaller villages. ...
Day 10- (Euro)Disneyland, France... Day 2
After the long lines and big day yesterday we decided to take it a bit easier this morning. So we slept in and then as usual got our chocolate croissant and some snacks for the day and made our way back to Disneyland. Today the train ride seemed to be so much faster! We arrived armed with our theme park map, show times and well thought out game plan! We we going to go on any rides we'd missed yesterday regardless of the waiting time, then watch a quick ...
Day 7 London to Paris
... br>
Finally we set off again only to stop for another 20 minutes just outside the tunnel. By the time we got to Paris we were four hours late and our ride to our apartment wasn't there! We only got a recorded message in French on their phone number so we lined up for a taxi which took another hour!
The good news is that when we finally arrived at our apartment just near the Paris Opera it ...

The good news for the Sooners is they possess the kind of offense that can give the Cowboys fits.
OU doesn't turn the ball over, the lifeblood of the OSU defense.
Only Iowa, Oregon State, Wisconsin, Navy and TCU have turned the ball over fewer times than the Sooners this season. And while quarterback Landry Jones has had some breakdowns on the road, he's only thrown five picks in OU's last 10 games.
OU also doesn't need big plays to score points.
While they've been much more explosive of late, the Sooners still only have 13 scoring plays from outside the red zone, a low number compared with other Big 12 teams.
That hasn't, however, prevented OU from boasting the No. 16 scoring offense in the country with almost 37 points per game. The Sooners have made a living on bubble screens to Ryan Broyles and swing passes to DeMarco Murray and slants and outs to Kenny Stills.
Those plays should be there against the Cowboys.
If the Sooners can execute those plays, they'll bend OSU's defense. And if they can hold on to the ball, eventually break it.

Proudly made in California
Producing a better pant is simple: focus on fit, fabric and construction. In this particular case, the fabric is exceptional. We worked with a mill in Spain to develop a burly mercerized (gives it amazing durability and minimizes shrinkage) twill that is brushed post-milling to give the fabric an incredible softness. We dialed in the two fits to accommodate just about everyone while giving a tailored silhouette. It's then cut and sewn in a small factory here in the great state of California. This is just one more example of our endless work to perfect the modern basics and create pieces that work fluidly with your entire lifestyle.https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0070/1922/files/SIZE_GUIDE___SLIM_DENIM.pdf?10212621388362162517 Show More Show Less

Department of Health Will Move Significant Portion of Staff into New Office Complex
(PRWEB) February 24, 2010 -- Tishman Speyer President and Co-CEO Rob Speyer welcomed Queens Borough President Helen Marshall, Deputy Mayor for Economic Development Robert C. Lieber and Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services Linda Gibbs and a host of Queens and citywide government, labor, civic and business leaders today for a ceremony celebrating the "topping out" of Two Gotham Center, a 21-story mixed use tower in Long Island City.
Other notable participants in the ceremony included New York City Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley, New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) President Seth Pinsky and New York City Building & Construction Trades Council President Gary LaBarbera. During the ceremony, members of Ironworkers Local 361 raised the final beam of steel, which was signed by construction workers and dignitaries in attendance, to a height of 325 feet.
The office portion of the 662,000 square-foot, Class A office tower, which is being developed by Tishman Speyer on the corner of Queens Plaza and 28th Street, will be occupied by the New York City Department of Health (DOH). Once the tower is completed in early 2011, the DOH will begin relocating staff members from many of its 15 Manhattan locations.
The $316 million project, which replaces the Queens Plaza Municipal Parking Garage, also will include approximately 8,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space and 160 parking spaces. The tower is the first phase of the proposed 3.5-million-square-foot Gotham Center development. This initial stage is responsible for the creation of about 1,400 construction jobs.

Ten Things Every Dad Should Tell His Son
From one generation to the next
From one generation to the next
8. Know that Marriage is a Covenant Marriage is a covenant between you, your wife, and God. It's more than a legal document or a good thing for society. Imagine a triangle with God at the apex and you and your wife across from each other at the bottom two angles. If you want to have a strong marriage, strengthen your relationship with God. The quality of your relationship with God will be transparently revealed by how you treat your wife.

SOMA designs exclusive One at Palm on Dubai's Palm Jumeirah artificial island
Tuesday, July 21, 2015
Kindra Cooper.
The top-of-the-line new residences by New York-based firm SOMA boast the tagline: "crafted for the most privileged of the privileged few"—and it's easy to see why. Rising at the entrance to the Palm Jumeirah, one of Dubai's artificial islands, the One at Palm consists of 90 exclusive residences, the units arranged in alternately pulled-in and pulled-out configurations across each level so that each apartment is guaranteed 360-degree views.

Skyscraper Expert Gordon Gill Talks High-Performance Facades
Friday, March 28, 2014
Anna Bergren Miller.
Architect Gordon Gill has one simple rule for facade design: seek performance first, and beauty will follow. Gill, who will give the opening keynote address at next month's facades+PERFORMANCE conference in New York, is a founding partner at Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, a firm known for pushing the boundaries of what architecture is and does. Gill and his team start by "establishing a language of architecture that's based in the performance of a building," he said. "We're trying to understand the role of the building in the environment it's being built in, then shape the building in order to benefit it the best way. Once we take that approach, the facades play a pretty rich role in either absorbing or reflecting the environment."
Unveiled> SOM Designs Mashreq Bank Tower in Dubai
Wednesday, September 4, 2013
Chris Bentley.
Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) announced last week it would design a new headquarters for Dubai-based Mashreq Bank. The 32-story tower is "a quiet sculptural form within Dubai's skyline," SOM Design Director Ross Wimer said in a statement. Its L-shaped floor plate is cantilevered around an empty volume between the building's eight-story podium and its top levels.
The building's massing shields that courtyard from solar gain, while opening up views to Sheikh Zayed Road and the Burj Khalifa to the east. Executive offices occupy the top two floors, where the square floorplate resumes, with Mashreq's Board Room suspended from an interior opening at the middle.
Take An Aerial Tour of Dubai From the Top of the Burj Khalifa
Monday, January 28, 2013
The Editors.
Scrap your afternoon plans and take an amazing aerial tour of Dubai, instead. Photographer Gerald Donovan has created an interactive panorama of the city as seen from the top of the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa for the Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum International Photography Award. The view was taken from the top of the tower, some 2,722 feet above the street, reached by climbing nearly 660 feet through the Burj Khalifa's enormous spire. Users can pan around and zoom in to observe the surrounding cityscape with amazing detail. To achieve the stunning effect, Donovan stitched 70 photographs together, each a whopping 80 megapixels, to create a single 2.5 gigapixel panorama. [Via The Telegraph.]
Massive Fire Engulfs 34-Story Dubai Condo Tower
Monday, November 19, 2012
The Editors.
Early Saturday morning, a 34-story residential tower in Dubai burst into flames running its entire height. The 160-unit Tamweel Tower, located in a complex of towers known as the Jumeirah Lakes Towers, caught fire at 2:30a.m. local time, sending hundreds of residents into the streets to seek refuge in a nearby park. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined, but The National reported that some believe the fire may have started near the roof and propelled down the tower by the building's flammable cladding material, a similar phenomenon as what happened to Rem Koolhaas' CCTV tower in China a few years ago when fireworks sparked a major blaze on the under-construction tower and the nearby 40-story Al Tayer Tower that caught fire earlier this year.
Quick Clicks> Fun in the Sun, Sun-Filled Fast, Transit Trending, and LEGO Gate
Tuesday, August 9, 2011
Miriam Dreiblatt.
Solar-Powered Fun. New York City's first solar merry-go-round just opened at the South Street Seaport, offering free rides to kids through September 7th. GE's Carousolar is powered by 100 solar panels made of ultra thin semiconductors able to withstand extreme humidity and UV ray exposure. The green fun isn't just for kids—GE also provided solar-powered cell phone charging stations for adults around the carousel, reported Inhabitat.
Sun-Filled Fasting. According to Dubai's top cleric Mohammed al-Qubaisi, residents of the Burj Khalifa, world's tallest skyscraper, will have to wait a few extra minutes to break their fast during Ramadan. Muslims living above the tower's 80th floor should fast two additional minutes after dusk while those above the 150th floor wait an additional three minutes, The Guardian reported. Al-Qubaisi explained that just like early Muslims living in the mountains, the residents of the highest floors must adjust their fast due to the extended visibility of sunlight.

"My son instantly liked this label out the others I gathered for him to select from. The color is very pleasing to the eye and the cap icon along with the selected fonts of print have a marked maturity for a 17 year old young man to help announce his high school graduation."
"So happy with how these labels look - in person, they look just like they did on the website and they are good quality. Stylish, cool labels for general use."
"Love these graduation address labels for my daughter's graduation. They added the extra special touch I was looking for !!!"
"I ordered these a little late, because I was waiting for my final pictures to arrive so I could use them in my invitations. The delivery came early, and they were delivered to my door instead of my rental office, which was nice! They came in a pretty package, and were secured with cardboard to ensure they would not bend. I ordered mine with a black background, and gold lettering. They were absolutely beautiful when I placed them on my gold envelopes. I would definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a sophisticated touch to a special invitation."
"I ordered these for my daughter's graduation announcements. So cute! I liked how I was able to change the font size and style according to my personal taste. Very easy to do online and now I don't have to write out my return address a hundred times! :)"

Next-generation sequencing technologies can now be used to directly measure heritable de novo DNA sequence mutations in humans. However, these techniques have not been used to examine environmental factors that induce such mutations and their associated diseases. To address this issue, a working group on environmentally induced germline mutation analysis (ENIGMA) met in October 2011 to propose the necessary foundational studies, which include sequencing of parent–offspring trios from highly exposed human populations, and controlled dose–response experiments in animals. These studies will establish background levels of variability in germline mutation rates and identify environmental agents that influence these rates and heritable disease. Guidance for the types of exposures to examine come from rodent studies that have identified agents such as cancer chemotherapeutic drugs, ionizing radiation, cigarette smoke, and air pollution as germ-cell mutagens. Research is urgently needed to establish the health consequences of parental exposures on subsequent generations.
Over 12,000 genes are identified in the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man database (OMIM: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ omim/); sequence variants in these genes are associated with a diverse array of genetic phenotypes. De novo mutations occur in each generation and are increasingly being recognized as contributing to a range of human disorders associated with a broad spectrum of these genes, including autism, schizophrenia, intellectual disability, and epilepsy [1–5]. Recent estimates suggest that a human genome on average contains approximately 100 loss-of-function variants, with as many as 20 exhibiting complete loss of gene function [6]. However, despite major advances in human genomics, the causative variables that influence mutational load have remained an enigma. Although animal models have demonstrated that exposure to mutagens in drugs, food, and the environment can cause germ-cell mutations, no agent has been shown definitively to produce heritable mutations in humans despite the similarity in gametogenic processes in humans and rodents. For example, of the47 agents tested to date for germ cell mutagenesis, 33 chemicals, ionizing radiation, and 3 complex mixtures (urban air, and main- and side-stream cigarette smoke) cause germ-cell mutations in rodents [7–13]. It is likely that some of these agents induce germ-cell mutations in sufficiently exposed humans [14].
Identifying environmentally induced human germline mutations has been stymied by a lack of technologies that can efficiently and economically provide a high-resolution map of a large number of individual genomes [15–17]. Thus, the ENIGMA working group met recently1 to assess the current state of knowledge in environmental mutagenesis and the potential role of environmental agents in causing germline mutations and sporadic disease. The goal was to address how genomic technologies might be deployed to identify variables that impact germline mutation rates and heritable epigenetic changes in humans. The group developed a vision for future research that focuses on studies designed to identify environmental factors that may influence de novo mutation rates and sporadic disease traits in individuals and populations.
Two recent studies of human families directly characterized and quantified de novo DNA mutations derived from both male and female gametes [18,19]. Sequence and structural differences were identified by comparing whole genome sequences or copy number variants between offspring and their parents. These findings show that direct estimates of de novo mutation rates are comparable to indirect estimates from population studies [20,21] and suggest an average mutation rate of 1 × 10−8 per nucleotide per gamete per generation for single nucleotide variants, and 3 × 10−2 per genome per generation for copy number variants greater than 500 bp [5]. Variation in the numbers of copies of a particular region of DNA has generated great excitement not only because of its appreciable rate of occurrence, but also because of its likely impact on human health [22]. In addition to sequencing parents and their offspring, emerging technologies may soon permit quantification of DNA mutation frequencies directly in sperm [23], which will open up new avenues of research in this field. The power of such pedigree and sperm analyses seems clear, presenting tremendous new opportunities for research on the factors influencing mutation rates, such as age, sex, and social and environmental factors. In particular, the study of environmental factors contributing to variation in mutation frequency is a key opportunity. Human cohorts exposed to xenobiotic agents were identified as priority study subjects because extensive animal data, and some human data, support the contention that these exposures should induce heritable DNA changes. Examples include individuals receiving radio- or chemotherapy before conceiving children [12,24], inhabitants of radioactively contaminated areas (e.g., near Chernobyl) [25], cigarette smokers [8,26,27], sickle cell anemia patients treated with hydroxyurea [28], and populations exposed to elevated levels of air pollution [11,29].
A critical first step to advance human germ-cell biology will be to precisely establish the baseline of human germline genetic and epigenetic variability. The range of variation in mutation frequency among gametes and individuals is quite large [18] and represents the background against which any induced mutations must be assessed. Consequently, it is difficult to estimate the needed power of studies over a range of anticipated effect sizes.
An additional challenge is minimizing the error rates associated with next-generation sequencing that can lead to an excess of false positives [17]. However, adequate genomic coverage and sample size, in combination with statistical modeling and the increasing ease with which mutations can be validated greatly diminish the number of false positives [19]. In addition, new technologies are emerging that may overcome this limitation by substantially reducing sequencing error rates [30]. Thus, technological advances make quantifying rates and spectra of inherited mutations in the offspring of exposed individuals an achievable goal.
The technologies necessary to discover the complex variables that influence germline genome stability are largely available [17]. Given this premise, the ENIGMA working group recommends a tiered plan comprised of a combination of foundational studies to accurately characterize background variability, and definitive studies designed to determine the environmental impacts on germline mutation and epigenetic variation (Fig. 1). Foundational experiments must directly determine background genomic variability to identify differences between offspring and their parents in humans, and use controlled animal experiments to estimate anticipated effects sizes. These foundational studies are necessary to determine the required sample sizes and statistical approaches for pilot and definitive studies in humans. Pilot experiments should investigate highly exposed human cohorts to fully characterize dose responses. Animal models, which allow better control of genetic and environmental variables compared with humans, should be employed to strengthen causal inference in human health effects research (Table 1). Definitive studies of suspect germline mutagens must first establish biological sample repositories from human families across a broad range of potential mutagenic exposures. These studies should be prospective with well-documented epidemiological data collection, including standard epidemiological metrics, family medical history, exposure history, and samples for analyses of relevant exposure biomarkers. Definitive studies should also aim to include epigenomics, creating an integrated understanding of the epigenetic, genetic, and environmental factors explaining heritable human disease.
The time is right to test the hypothesis that environmental exposures induce de novo heritable mutations in humans. This information is critical to determining the validity of extrapolations from animal models, which have already identified a number of germ-cell mutagens. These studies will determine if environmental agents that are well known to impact health in exposed individuals also cause germline mutations that affect both individual and population health in unexposed, future generations.

The fifth-ranked Panthers, who are hoping this season ends with the school's first trip to the Final Four in 70 years, open play Monday night against Rhode Island in the 2K Sports Classic at the Petersen Events Center.
Pittsburgh is coming off a 25-9 season in which it finished tied for second in the Big East despite being picked to finish ninth. The Panthers, whose season ended with a loss to Xavier in the second round of the NCAA tournament, return four starters and seven of their top eight scorers.
"People didn't think much about us last year, and we finished second in the Big East. So they know what we're capable of now," said senior forward Gilbert Brown, who averaged 10.6 points. "But that doesn't change anything. We have high expectations and want to show what we can do on the court."
Others also have high expectations for the Panthers, who were picked to finish first in the league in the Big East coaches' preseason poll.
"Our goal is to be the best, not win a preseason poll," Dixon said.
Dixon has been one of the nation's most successful coaches since taking over at Pitt seven seasons ago. In the last five years, only Duke, Memphis, Kansas and North Carolina have won more games than the Panthers. During that time, however, those programs have all advanced to the national title game, while Pittsburgh is still seeking the school's first trip to the Final Four since 1941.
"We always have high expectations, so that hasn't changed," Brown said. "But our goal is to exceed expectations. We've come close, but we want to do something very special this year."
The Panthers no longer boast big-name stars like DeJuan Blair or Sam Young, but this might be the deepest of Dixon's teams.
Leading scorers Ashton Gibbs (15.7 points per game) and Brad Wanamaker (12.3) return to their familiar roles in the backcourt, while Brown and 6-foot-10 Gary McGhee are expected to provide both muscle in the post and senior leadership. With junior Nasir Robinson out until mid-December after knee surgery, 6-foot-9 freshman Talib Zanna is expected to start at power forward.
"I've never been on a more athletic team," said McGhee, who averaged 6.9 points and a team-high 6.8 rebounds last season.
The Panthers, winners of 13 straight season openers, begin 2010-11 looking to continue their dominance at the Petersen Events Center, where they're 132-11, which includes a 75-1 mark against non-conference opponents.
That doesn't bode well for Rhode Island, which has lost 22 straight to ranked opponents since defeating then-No. 21 Utah 70-63 in 1998.
The Rams have also lost five straight to Pitt since capturing their only victory in the series in 1981. In the last meeting between these teams in 2002, then-No. 4 Pitt won 87-71 at Rhode Island.
The Rams return three starters from last season's 26-10 team that finished fifth in the Atlantic 10 and advanced to the semifinals of the NIT. Senior forward Delroy James is the top returning scorer (13.2) and rebounder (5.3) and was a third team all-conference selection.
