About Bone Marrow
Bone marrow is a rich source of both adult stem and progenitor cells. Marrow-derived stem cells have been utilized extensively for over 40 years in the field of bone marrow transplantation, primarily for the treatment of a wide array of cancers and hematologic diseases for which over 60,000 transplants are performed each year. Orthopedic procedures, such as spinal fusions and the treatment of non-union fractures, also commonly utilize the patient's own bone marrow. More recently, marrow-derived cells are showing promise in the treatment of a widening array of diseases and conditions.
About Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine focuses on the ability to repair or regenerate damaged, diseased or aging tissues, and is rapidly emerging as the next frontier in medicine. Regenerative therapies have the potential to provide effective treatment for millions of patients worldwide suffering from a wide array of diseases, including cardiovascular, endocrine (i.e. diabetes), neurologic, and orthopedic diseases. A critical aspect of many regenerative therapies is the ability to utilize the patient's own stem and progenitor cells, requiring the harvest, processing, and delivery of these cells to a target organ.
About StemCor
StemCor Systems is a privately held medical device company located in
the San Francisco Bay Area developing enabling technologies for
regenerative medicine. The company's initial product is the MarrowMiner, a
proprietary, minimally-invasive bone marrow collection system. The
technology was invented by Daniel Kraft, MD, and was licensed exclusively
from Stanford University. Clinical studies are now underway to evaluate the

Poll finds they fret about kids' knowledge of safety, privacy, emergency practices, but will leave them alone anyway
FRIDAY, June 13 (HealthDay News) -- Many parents leave their tweens home alone for an extended period of time, even though they are not confident these 11- to 13-year-olds have the knowledge or skills to stay safe, a new poll finds.
The University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health reports that parents it polled fretted over whether their children could safely use the kitchen appliances, know where to go during a severe storm or give out personal information online or over the phone. Still, one in five of these parents admitted they've let their tweens stay home alone for an entire day.
"There is no magic age at which a child can be left home alone. It typically depends on a parent's judgment about how mature that child is, and how ready they are to take on the responsibility of being home alone," Dr. Matthew M. Davis, director of the National Poll on Children's Health, said in a prepared statement. "Regardless, when parents decide to leave their children home alone, there are several common at-home safety concerns they need to consider and address with kids ahead of time."

Fabulous Adventures In Coding
Eric Lippert is a principal developer on the C# compiler team. Learn more about Eric.
Suppose you've got a huge mixed-up pile of white, black, green and red socks, with roughly equal numbers of each. You randomly choose two of them. What is the probability that they are a matched pair?
There are sixteen ways of choosing a pair of socks: WW, WB, WG, WR, BW, BB, … Of those sixteen pairs, four of them are matched pairs. So chances are 25% that you get a matched pair.
Suppose you choose three of them. What is the probability that amongst the socks you chose, there exists at least one matched pair?
Well, we already know that chances are 25% after you pick out just the first two. If you get a matched pair right off, great. If you don't, then there are two colours in hand you might match. So the odds are going to be a lot better.
There are 64 ways of choosing three socks: WWW, WWB, … and so on. Of those 64 possible combinations, 40 of them have at least one matched pair, so that's about a 63% chance.
Suppose you choose four. There are 256 possible combinations, 232 of which have at least one matched pairs, so that's a 91% chance.
Of course by the time we get to five socks, we have a 100% chance of getting a pair; five socks, four colours, there have got to be two alike.
It might appear that we've slightly messed up the probabilities here because once you choose one white sock, odds are slightly better that the next sock you pick will not be white, since there are now fewer white socks in the pile. But if the pile is big enough then we can neglect this minor problem.
From now on we'll call getting a matched pair a "collision".
It seems clear that as we increase the number of possible sock colours, we decrease the probability of getting a collision in some sample size. And as we increase the size of the sample, we increase the probability of the sample containing a collision.
Suppose you have 365 different colours of socks - perhaps each sock has a number on it giving its colour number, so that we can tell them apart - and a pile of about six billion socks, with roughly equal numbers of each sock colour. What is the probability that we'll get a collision if we pull out two socks at random? One in 365, clearly. Three socks? A little bit better than double that. And so on. To work out the exact probabilities we'd work out the number of possible combinations, and the number of those combinations that contain at least one collision.
Turns out that the point where you have a better than 50% chance of having a collision is 23 socks. This is the famous "birthday paradox"; if instead of 365 colours of socks we have 365 possible birthdays (ignoring leap years, the fact that more people are born on certain days than others, and so on) and we have a large group of people to choose from at random, then once you get to 23 people the odds are about fifty-fifty that two of them have the same birthday. By 50 people, chances are about 97% that two have the same birthday.
Which is maybe a nice party trick next time you're at a party with 30 to 50 people – if you go around the room and ask everyone to say their birthday, odds are very good that two people will say the same day. But what's my point?
Suppose you have just over four billion possible sock colours and a truly enormous supply of socks of each colour, such that each one is about equally likely. You start pulling socks out of the pile. What is the probability that you get a collision based on the number of socks you pull out? Four billion is an awfully big number compared to 4 or 365. What's your intuition about the likelihood of a collision? How long until you have to start worrying about it?
Not nearly as long as you might think. I've worked out the math and summarized it in this handy log-log chart:
Man, is there anything better than getting a straight line on a log-log chart?
Anyway, you end up with a 1% chance of a collision after about 9300 tries, and a 50% chance after only 77000 tries. By the time you get into the mid six-digit numbers chances are for practical purposes 100% that there is a collision in there somewhere.
This is why it is a really bad idea to use 32 bit hash codes as "unique" identifiers. Hash values aren't random per se, but if they're well-distributed then they might as well be for our purposes. You might think "well, sure, obviously they are not truly unique since there are more than four billion possible values, but only four billion hash codes available. But there are so many possible hash values, odds are really good that I'm going to get unique values for my hashes". But are the chances really that good? 9300 objects is not that many and 1% is a pretty high probability of collision.
Eric wrote:
"As noted below, this kind of thing comes up frequently on StackOverflow. Also, as one of my technical interview questions I pose a problem which requires the generation of a unique 32 bit integer; many people immediately go to random numbers or hash codes and are then unable to compute the probability of collision."
But wouldn't it be difficult to compute the probability of a collision on a random number if the person doesn't know the algorithm used to generate that number?
Exactly, yes. A truly random number should have the probability of collision outlined in this article. If its not truly random, then yes, the probabily of collision depends strongly upon the details of the algorithm used. -- Eric
Yes, more bits buys you a lowered risk of avoiding a collision, but I suppose to some extent it depends what one is going to do with that "unique integer". If it is going to be used for cryptography purposes, it may work in the short term, but in the long term with the increase in computing power that is available all it probably really buys you is more time.
Absolutely. One of the reasons I ask this as part of an interview question is I get to see whether the candidate will ask clarifying questions about how the code is being used. What you want to know is (1) what is a reasonably expected time to first collision? If the candidate can ask questions about how many of these "unique" numbers need to be generated per second then they can work out whether there's going to be a collision every single time the program runs, or if we could go for millions of years with only a tiny chance of a collision. And (2) what are the negative consequences of a collision? If a collision means crashing the program or sending sensitive user data to an untrusted caller, then a solution which produces a collision in any reasonable amount of time is likely to be unacceptable. If the negative consequences are merely that a hash algorithm becomes a little sub-optimal, then no big deal. Good candidates clarify these things before they try to write code. -- Eric
Thanks for the chart/explanation...very informative.
Based on your previous commented reply, Eric, are you implying that when using a HashTable, with its algorithm for collisions, this is not a serious issue, even with a million or so entries, updated every couple of seconds? Even if the ID of the entry is based on a string value (say, a GUID), in the hash table this ID will still be hashed first, so what have I gained from using a string value?
Also, as mentioned in @ShuggyCoUk's comment, what is a perfect hash? I have recently been involved with Java development, and there the direction is to always override the 'hashCode' and 'equals' methods, with the hash-code usually involving prime-numbers and bitwise operations on 64-bit values.
> Also, as mentioned in @ShuggyCoUk's comment, what is a perfect hash?
A perfect hash is a function hash(x) such that, for any x != y, hash(x) != hash(y). Simply put, it's a hash which has no collisions.
> I have recently been involved with Java development, and there the direction is to always override the 'hashCode' and 'equals' methods, with the hash-code usually involving prime-numbers and bitwise operations on 64-bit values.
It is certainly not common practice to override equals/hashCode in Java (nor Equals/GetHashCode in .NET) for every random class. It is normally done for those classes which either 1) have value semantics (e.g. String), or 2) have their own identity distinct from runtime object identity (e.g. ORM entities with explicit primary key fields - as seen in Hibernate etc).
If your entity class has a unique ID which is within the domain of hash values (i.e. 32-bit integer for hashCode & GetHashCode), then that ID is the perfect hash for that class. Otherwise the usual dance with "prime numbers and bitwise operations" is done on the primary key to trim it to desired size in a more-or-less evenly distributed way, but then the result is not a perfect hash anymore.
I had a friend whose wife tied his pairs of socks together so that he'd have 100% probability of getting a matched pair on the first try. This was because he would stop after picking the second sock whether it matched or not, no matter how many were in the drawer.
Hey, if I turned on the lights to get a matched pair of socks, I'd wake her up. Oh, wait, you weren't talking about me and my wife... as you were. -- Eric
I just want to clarify is it ok to use GetHashCode for a Quick Check of the content of a String for example, and if you do get a match couple that with a Real Check?
@Paul, My intuitive answer is no, it's not ok. Intuitively, I think it could take longer (having to generate a hash code). The lazy programmer in me would stick with String.Equals and it's plethora culture-aware overrides. If it is actually faster, I reckon string.Equals already does it for me.
But what do your benchmarks say? Does your profiler indicate you're spending 80% of your time in String.Equals()? What about case-(in)sensitive and/or culture (in)sensitive comparisons?
Phew, looks like buying all those GUIDs on Ebay was a deal after all.
"Man, is there anything better than getting a straight line on a log-log chart?"
Two very big thumbs up.
Great article, thanks.
@csharptest: I am guilty! I have used the hashcode as an identifier!
Well, I need to weaken this statement, let me explain: In very seldom events, our sever may get some kind of hiccup when dealing with a request: The exception's hashcode will also be written into the log file. This id can be picked up at the client which made the request.
My reason of thought was that the event of an unexpected exception is seldom (the chart appears to prove me right) and that we do actually have additional correlation clues, like the day and possibly even the time. Plus, if there would be a collision it would be far from the end of the world. So far, this lil' correlation id has served us well.
jsrfc58 said: To complicate matters, there are also other types of socks that are not worn--wind socks, drift socks, etc.
Eric said: Clearly more research needs to be done on this problem
I've been trying to think of a way of punning on garter and Gartner for too many minutes now. It just ain't gonna happen.
There are also multicolored socks. For example, former-president Clinton's cat.
The former president's former cat. Socks died in 2009. -- Eric
As a quick first-order approximation, cut the number of bits in half to get a 50% chance of a collision and shift right 3 bits to get a 1% chance. E.g. if you have 2^32 sock colors, choose approximately 2^16 socks to get a 50% chance of a duplicate or 2^13 socks to get about a 1% chance of a duplicate color.
Everyone talks about version 1 GUIDs (time & mac address), but almost all software generates version 4 GUIDs (random numbers). I've experienced at LEAST 10 duplicate GUIDs in the last 8 years.
Its useful to point out that 23 = sqrt(365), and that the point at which it is likely (>=50%) that you will have a collision is at the squareroot of the size of your keyspace.
Following from this, you can trivially calculate the tipping point for any hash given its length, as it is 2**(hashlength/2)
Futhermore, you chances are that good if you assume random uniform distribution. When you're hashing a bunch of items, they probably have things in common that make them less than perfectly random.
Moral of the story: Be careful using hashes as UIDs, but if you're using a 128bit hash you will *probably* be fine.

That is statistically very unlikely (even if it's not impossible) unless they're being generated in a particularly poor manner.
note that using System.Random or C's rand() function or anything else that only starts with a 32-bit seed qualifies - you've basically got a 32-bit random* number (the original seed) that's been stretched out to 122 bits without adding any more real randomness, since all your bits are dependent on that original seed so you can only generate 2^32 possible GUIDs. You'll have that same high probability of collisions with semi-random GUIDs generated in the same way by the same implementation, and an unknown (somewhere between that high probability and zero) probability between it and different implementations.
*or not even really so, since the default seed for System.Random is time-dependent... and rand()'s _default_ seed is fixed, but its _typical_ seed is going to also be time-dependent

NEW YORK, Sept. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Prix Galien USA committee recognized excellence in scientific innovation that improves the state of human health last night during the fifth annual Prix Galien Awards Gala. The Pro Bono Humanum Award and the Prix Galien USA 2011 Awards for best biotechnology product and best pharmaceutical agent were presented at a ceremony held at the Museum of Natural History in New York City.
The Prix Galien USA 2011 Award selection committee is an unrivaled network that includes seven Nobel Laureates in medicine and is led by Peace Prize winner, Professor Elie Wiesel. This year the committee honored Dr. Paul Farmer as the recipient of the 2011 Pro Bono Humanum award for his lifetime of humanitarian efforts in Haiti and throughout the world, while also advancing the fight against infectious diseases, including AIDS and tuberculosis.
"Dr. Farmer is an exemplary model of how one person can be a catalyst between science, business and government to serve as a beacon of hope to those in need," said Mr. Wiesel. "Dr. Farmer's dedication to combating deadly diseases while fighting poverty and inequality in developing countries is inspirational."
In recognition of the development and discovery of biotechnology products that improve the human condition, the selection committee awarded Janssen Biotech, Inc.'s Stelara® and Amgen's Prolia® each with the 2011 Prix Galien USA Award for Best Biotechnology Product. Stelara®, from Janssen Biotech, Inc., is a treatment for plaque psoriasis that may help provide clearer skin and relief from symptoms, including plaque thickness, scaling, and redness. Amgen's Prolia® is the first and only prescription therapy for postmenopausal osteoporosis that is given as one shot every six months in a doctor's office.

Anna Maria Horner grew up in a house full of her dad's paintings and with a closet full of her mom's handiwork. Beds were warmed by the hand-loomed wool blankets sent by her grandmother from Greece. The busy little bodies of her and her siblings were warmed by the beautiful hand-knits of their grandmother in Indiana. As a kid in the '70s, she passed up the $1.79 Barbie dresses in Service Merchandise, opting instead to create designs from her mother's fabric scraps…an artist was born.
During her years as a retailer/designer, Anna Maria had her hands in almost every medium on a daily basis. Designing clothing served an interest that she had since childhood. Her love of fabrics and patterns spilled onto her fine art canvases as well. Though busy with clothing design and production, Anna Maria found the energy to stay active artistically through exhibiting in galleries regularly. Her paintings, both small and large scale, are part of hundreds of private and commercial collections.
There have been many interesting stops on her artistic path but a common element in all of Anna Maria's work whether clothing, accessories, quilts or paintings is a passion for color and vibrancy.

Using it on every WP project!
Perfect! Tnks!
Easy to use and it just works! Plus it uses my favorite JavaScript-based editor. :)
Works perfectly, does just what I need without telling my if my code is wrong or not.
This plugin is indispensable. I use it on all the sites I manage. No CSS solution is simpler, faster, or more manageable. My life got a whole lot easier because of this plugin. Thanks for writing it!!
Just made aware of this plugin by one of my other plugin support people. They installed it on one of my website to create a code hack for me. I just moved ALL the code that has been added to my theme stylesheet file and I'm thinking that I love it! So much easier to keep track of code changes as they are included.
Just plain elegant!
I can't believe this is not just a built-in function of WordPress, it's such a core feature to anyone customizing their site. Putting custom CSS in your theme file is just not the right way to do it. Fortunately, this plugin is the perfect solution to that!
AND it even works on multisite installations! +1 :D
Thank you!
I ditched Improved "Improved Simpler CSS" because the update told me not to use "!important" and "#" which if I don't the code does not work.
Please don't make the same mistake!! It works perfect and looks nice and CLEAN!
Using My Custom CSS and Firebug and increased by workflow 200% and best of all, it overrides the plugin CSS files so when they are updated, I dont loose ANY work. I will never work on another WP site with out this plugin.
This is my new favorite plugin for editing my site's CSS! I love the gigantic editing box which gives me plenty of space to display my CSS code, and the automatic code coloring is really nice touch.
Thanks for a great plugin!

hired 4 times on Thumbtack
My goal is to work with you to find the foods and lifestyle choices which work best for you. I personally offer Nutritional Counciling services for you.
Your program covers the following:
* Improving eating habits
* Integrating new, healthier foods into your diet
* Menu planning
* Comfort in cooking
* Dealing with cravings and binges
* Setting goals for life and energy
* Building self-esteem
* Comfort in loving yourself and loving others
* Having joy, fulfillment and fun
When I first started the cleanse program I did it with the full intention of learning more healthier things to cook for my family. Which I did. I never intended to lose 8 pounds, which I did. I never intended to find out that I have an allergy to dairy and gluten, which I do. This program has caused a revolution in the foods I make at home. My kids are saying, are you sure this is nutritious. My husband is actually trying green shakes; if you knew my husband you'd be amazed. I have developed decreased bloating and gas in my digestive system. I have a greater clarity of thought. I have a better overall mood "and more energy. It was and still is, as Martha Stewart would say "a very good thing.
My goal for seeing a nutritionist was to address my ever-increasing blood pressure. I was seeking an alternative to medications and a natural remedy through an appropriate diet. After first meeting with June I knew that she had the talent I needed to seek a life-style change. During the six months course I was able to reach an understanding with my body, its needs and wants, and to compensate for years of mistreatment. After completion of the course I can say that I have successfully reduced my blood pressure to normal levels. But the best part of working with June was learning all the new foods and recipes that have contributed to my success. I feel I will continue this successful path for years to come, if not a lifetime.

How do I remove the ice storage bin that is stuck in the door of my freezer?
Report This
I have a Kenmore refrigerator model 106.4442603. The ice storage bin can't be removed from the door. It is stuck and I can't release it. I have followed the directions but still cannot remove it from the door.
Sign in to answer a question
2 Answers from these members:
If the release button will not push in then you could have ice or frost underneath the bucket that is preventing the catch from releasing the bucket from the mounts on the door. The first parts image below shows the parts of the ice bucket. The release button (Key 19) is attached to the latch assembly (Key 20). When the button is pushed in it releases the latch assembly from the mounting posts sticking up on the base of the door that are shown in the second image. You may be able to defrost this area with a hot air gun or hair dryer on a low setting. Once you are able to free up the latch so that it will release from the posts you will then be able to remove the bucket.
If the assembly is broken, you can order parts from the
Sears PartsDirect
website. Order and replace the broken parts to fix the ice bucket.
If you need more help, resubmit your question with additional details.

For Kenmore and Whirlpool -- I actually did this twice - neither time was pretty so I can't guarantee it will work for you. As best as I can tell the infamous blue button (or tab) on the right side of the bin controls a long blue plastic slider that runs along the back of the bin bottom and is supposed unseat 2 plastic tabs when pushed in (we all know how we'll that works!). First I pull the blue button (tab) all the way out. Then I slide a long thin piece of metal (in my case a bread knife) in along the back of the bin under the blue plastic slider (which of course being under the bin you can't see). Then I put upward pressure on the blue slider by pushing down on the knife handle (like a lever). After several attempts (if you are lucky) the right tab will unseat and the bin will be loose but probably not free. At this point I was able to put strong upward pressure while rocking right and left and the back tab gives way (if you are lucky). Obviously plastic is involved and breakage is possible - only attempt if you are ready to take a sledge hammer to it as I have been!
Thanks for the the tip. I thought mine was not releasing due to a faulty latch but turns out that wasn't the problem. Mine seemed stuck in the center. I removed all ice. Then poured a cup of boiling water into the hole with the stainless blades to melt anything else. After the second cup, the bin was loose and popped right out easy. There were large blocks of ice lodged in the center and bottom of the unit which had the center frozen in place. After an hour of trying other methods not realizing the ice was frozen throughout the center which you can't see from the top. Sears tech should have mentioned this rather than trying to sell us a part.

We've heard about Jennifer Lawrence and her new romance with Chris Martin of Coldplay over the past several weeks. And while nobody has seemingly been able to grab a picture of the two of them together, the 'Hunger Games' star didn't seem to shy away from cameras as she went to a private spot backstage during the iHeartRadio Music Festival Friday night, Sept. 19.
It looks like things are getting increasingly more public between unlikely couple Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin!

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - A Nevada board has agreed to repay $1.7 million in Medicare payroll taxes owed to the IRS for judges and some other employees that haven't been paid in more than two decades.
The Board of Examiners sanctioned the settlement Tuesday, calling it a good deal for the state and the employees because it avoids costly penalties.
The federal government began requiring state and local government to pay into Medicare in 1986. But judges and members of board and commissions apparently fell through the cracks and neither the employee nor state share was paid for 27 years.
The problem was discovered this year. Under IRS regulations the federal government can only demand back payments for three years.
Judges and other affected employees will have to repay the state nearly $848,000.

If irratation occurs, discontinue use. Botanical oils can be slippery. Use a shower mat for safety.
I use this scrubber for cleaning my ankles,arm,legs,shoulders it cleans well and it made my dry patches on the skin very soft and smooth.
I like this cleanser as I use a lot of products with glycolic acid. I use it as a body cleanser. Don't be scared to use this. It's very mild for those that are used to products containing glycolic acid. For those that are new to this, alternate it with your usual body cleanser to get used to it.
After using this regularly along with my glycolic lotion and vit E lotion, I'm left with smooth and more even toned skin. My only wish is that it had a higher percentage of glycolic acid. Even though it's not made for the face I have used it on my face at the most two times a week as I didn't want to irritate my skin. Overall, this is a great product for those that want clear and smooth skin.
Very good result.
This scrub is very good; he really does get deep into the skin, and what I love most about it is that it contains beta hydroxy...which is an excellent ingredient for skin care for women, like myself over 40. i recommend this product; After i patted my face dry, i could actually feel and SEE the difference.. IT gets in to your pores, I love it, and will continue to buy it.. I use it 3x a week only, in the evening before bed; the other days, i use the Neutrogena foaming fash wash... Thats another good product, i have been using it now for a year, and it is good, makes your face "tingle"... Very refreshing in the morning; wakes me up!!
Excellent product

Why do men say they're being quizzed when asked a question? Makes us suspicious when they get defensive.
This kind of attitude from men when they get defensive over a simple question reminds me of a teenage boy who gets pissy with his mother. Just answer the question, be a grown up. Nothing to hide, right?
missybaby29 36-40, F 4 Answers 5 Aug 20, 2013 in Struggles
Why are you grilling us on being defensive? You always have to be so accusing.
Best Answer
I dunno, I dated a woman who took her relationship advice from Cosmo once...that's enough to make ANY man defensive.

Since when is answering a question, with details and without any form of evasion or mental chicanery, a sign of cheating? Oh, only when the Cosmo writer says it is.
Best Answer
a discussion of issues surrounding their lives aint what they are about so they go on the attack rather than discuss something they have no clue about

Hello Everyone,
I would like to know how to perform a clean update of the wp-super-cache plugin. We have version 0.6.7 installed at the moment, and as the IT contact in the company, I constantly have to delete the cache manually as the modifications the staff bring to the site don't appear right away.
Is this a known bug? Would an upgrade resolve the problem? How can I ensure that people have the posts visible right away?
Regards, Alexandre

VoiceWalker, a VOIP provider, announces they are now hiring as a result of a substantial increase in business.
(PRWEB) June 21, 2010 -- VoiceWalker is now hiring to increase its sales force as a result of the release of Digital Voice Advantage, their suite of Voice over IP (VOIP) products for small to medium and multi-location businesses. Digital Voice Advantage is saving customers as much as 45% off of their current telecommunications expense.
According to Steve Barnett, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for VOIP provider, "after releasing our Digital Voice Advantage product line, the increase in Hosted PBX and SIP Trunking opportunities has been such that we are immediately hiring experienced sales representatives to assist us in addressing those opportunities."
"We are immediately targeting an increase in sales people to help us provide support to the hundreds of businesses looking to save money and improve their communications capabilities by transitioning their local service, long distance service and in many cases, their business phone systems to the more flexible and cost effective VOIP services provided by Digital Voice Advantage."
Many companies have been holding off on making the move to Voice over the Internet out of concern over quality and reliability. While in the past these concerns were valid, in today's environment this may no longer be the case. According to Mr. Barnett, "Voice over IP (VOIP) has reached the point of virtually universal applicability in the business environment. While concerns about quality and reliability should always be present when making decisions related to a businesses communicatio

Are we lucky or what? Philadelphia has always been a city of song, from the days when the Founding Fathers hoisted mugs in its taverns to today, when local lass Taylor Swift is at the top of the pop charts—though not on this list. Because to be on this list, you have to have one of the finest singing voices ever to have let freedom ring in this town. Here, in ascending order, are the 13 best singers who've called Philly home.
Jill Scott Says She Regrets Standing Up for Bill Cosby
In December, Philly-born singer Jill Scott took to Twitter to defend Bill Cosby, saying that "media/society is attempting to destroy a magnificent legacy … who has done more for the image of brown people than almost anyone." But after it was revealed this week that Cosby admitted to buying Quaaludes with the intent of giving them to women he wanted to have sex with, the soul singer is changing her tune. Once again, she used Twitter to share her newfound thoughts:
Bill Cosby Breaks Silence to Thank Jill Scott and Whoopi Goldberg on Twitter
After a strange, long silence, Bill Cosby has finally said something — sort of — about those recent sexual assault allegations — in the form of a pair of thank you tweets. Earlier today, Cosby said thanks to Philly singer Jill Scott and Whoopi Goldberg for their support.
Jill Scott Stands Up For Bill Cosby On Twitter
Philly-bred singer/actress Jill Scott took to Twitter yesterday to defend Bill Cosby following a string of sexual assault allegations against him that have been resurfacing recently. It all started when a fan tweeted that she heard Scott was taking sides with Cosby.
@JasBaileyTweets sides with Mr. Cosby? No. I side with substantiated proof when media/society is attempting to destroy a magnificent Legacy
— ⭐Jill Scott⭐ (@missjillscott) December 1, 2014
And it continued …
@KristensWay I'm respecting a man who has done more for the image of Brown people that almost anyone EVER. From Fat Albert to the Huxtables — ⭐Jill Scott⭐ (@missjillscott) December 1, 2014

Jill Scott to Receive Honorary Doctorate from Temple
Philly's Jill Scott goes by many names — neo-soul queen, poet, actress — but today she will receive a new title from Temple University, when she is presented an honorary doctorate from her alma mater. The certificate will anoint her Doctor of Humane Letters. More from Essence:
Temple University President Neil D. Theobald said Scott's "values and achievements embody the mission and ideas of the university."
Besides her award-winning music career, Scott is also the founder of the Blues Babe Foundation which helps underserved students in the Delaware Valley with their postsecondary educational goals through financial assistance and mentorship. The foundation is named after her grandmother.

Philly Soul Goddesses Patti LaBelle and Jill Scott to Perform at the White House
On Thursday First Lady Michelle Obama will host a "Women of Soul" concert at the White House, and she's invited Philly's Patti LaBelle and Jill Scott to perform.
Other featured singers: Aretha Franklin, Melissa Etheridge, Janelle Monae, Ariana Grande and The Voice winner Tessanne Chin.
The best news is that we can all see it, because it's streaming live Thursday, March 6th on the White House website, and will be televised April 7th.

Jill Scott Will Sing at First-Ever Oscars Concert
For the first time in its 85-year history, the Academy Awards is putting on a concert to showcase the five original scores and four songs nominated for Oscars this year, and Philly's Jill Scott is among the performers.
Philly Neo-Soul Singer Jill Scott Joining Cast of The Voice
Extra reports that Usher has chosen North Philly-raised neo-soul queen Jill Scott to be a guest mentor on the upcoming sixth season of The Voice. In the interview, he calls Scott his secret weapon. "[She's] incredible, as a writer, as a musician, as an actress," he says. "All those elements really help to prepare artists."
Miss Scott was just in Philly to perform at the Academy of Music's 157th anniversary Concert and Ball. (See photos from that evening here.)
You can catch her on The Voice when the show kicks off on Feb. 24.
The Academy of Music's 157th Anniversary Concert and Ball with Jill Scott and the Bacon Brothers
The 157th Anniversary Concert and Ball, Philadelphia's annual white-tie gala, celebrated the Academy of Music's 157th birthday on Saturday, January 25th.
Music director Yannick Nézet-Séguin and The Philadelphia Orchestra along with host stars the Bacon Brothers and special guest artist Jill Scott entertained attendees during the concert. Nézet-Séguin told the audience that he had been a long-time fan of Scott's and when he found himself in his dream job of conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra, he just had to perform with the home-town girl. He called it a dream come true.
The night began with an open house reception before the anniversary concert at the Academy of Music where guests dined on delights by chef Jose Garces. During the concert portion, newly installed Adele Schaeffer, chair of the board of trustees of the Academy of Music, told the audience that the evening's funds would be used to restore the building's HVAC system, which dates back to 1966. After the concert, guests made the annual trek up Broad Street to the Hyatt at the Bellevue Hotel. The ball included dinner and dancing to the music of six bands, including The Eddie Bruce Band, in the Grand Ballroom.

The Return of Jill Scott
Each January, the who's who of Philadelphia pays big bucks to attend the Philadelphia Orchestra's annual Academy Ball and Concert at the Academy of Music. There are glorious gowns and fine jewels. There's lots of society gossip. And there's always a special guest performer, with past rosters showcasing everyone from Rod Stewart and Billy Joel to Yo-Yo Ma and Lang Lang. But this year, for the 157th edition of the grand fete, the Orchestra has chosen a much more local talent: North Philadelphia-born-and-raised Jill Scott.
Now, if you're wondering Where the hell has Jill Scott been?, it's not an unfair question. After a long series of Grammy- nominated songs and albums and her own 2009 show on HBO (The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency), Scott more or less went underground—but not without good cause. In 2009 she had a baby boy, and one year later, she was sued by her longtime record label for millions of dollars for breach of contract, tying up her life and career. That suit has since been settled.

Thron: Learn security lessons from the 9/11 attacks
Today marks the 10th anniversary of one of the most tragic days in American history.
In 2001, Islamic terrorists attacked America by slamming two planes into New York's World Trade Center and a third into the Pentagon.
A fourth targeting the Capitol building or the White House was stopped by brave passengers on United Airlines Flight 93.
The lesson Americans must take from this tragedy is that our country must never be complacent about national security.
This event changed my life.
As I watched that day's horrors, I was frightened, puzzled and needed answers. In my search, I realized I was sleepwalking through life and had been taking my country, freedoms and the military for granted.
I needed change. I started writing a letter about 9/11, then my friend, Linda Law, and I collected teddy bears for children who had lost their parents.
Soon, we began sending care packages to troops in Iraq and later in Afghanistan, which continues today.
I joined the tea party, which I consider the most important thing I've done. These actions were triggered by 9/11.
I wonder how 9/11 affected others. I believe we must take seriously threats from Iran and Islamic terrorists, and we must fight for our freedoms.
I am concerned the president, his administration and some in Congress are pretending the war on terror has ended. Why else would they fund al-Qaida in Libya, ignore Iran's threats, side with Hamas and give rights reserved for American citizens to radical Islamic prisoners?
As Americans, what can we do?
Visit the "Never Forget" tribute to 9/11 victims at West Beach near the Santa Barbara Wharf. The display of 2,752 American flags, one for each victim, offers the opportunity to reflect and honor those who kept us safe.
You can demand representatives put America's interests first and that they face problems head on.
Unless we learn the lessons from 9/11, our country will continue to decline.

After reading "Don Cherry's views are as outdated as, well, Don Cherry" (Sports, April 30), I am of the opinion that Mr. Cherry is a well-grounded male living the truth with respect to the God-given dignity of the human body. Writer Nathan Fenno, on the other hand, has apparently been suckered into one of the greatest deceptions of this recent century: that there are no differences between men and women that are worth acknowledging. He seems to be another confused individual with a broken moral compass who unfortunately has been given a public forum to demonstrate his lack of wisdom.
As best I could tell from the opinion column, Mr. Fenno takes Mr. Cherry to task because Mr. Cherry holds to the position that women should stay out of locker rooms where men are in the process of showering. This action is unacceptable in almost any other work environment, including, for example, a fitness club. In most cases, this action would by grounds for legal action against the person who has entered the locker room of the opposite sex.
The problem is not equal access, because the solution for that is to simply keep all reporters out of the locker room. In fact, that poses the question, what can possibly be so important that reporters can't wait for 30 minutes until the players shower and dress? This whole business of women needing access to men's locker rooms was an extension of the radical sexual revolution that began in the 1960s.
This reminds me of the tremendous hypocrisy of professional sports with regard to sex. The team owners, who are ready to drop the hammer on a player who gets involved in inappropriate sexual activity, are the same people who put half-naked women performing erotic dances on the sidelines at games. And I understand the "cheerleaders" face a similar hypocritical situation, in which they must act lascivious on the field, but cannot do the same in their private lives.
Mr. Fenno should stick to his presumed expertise of sports reporting because he is way out of his league when it comes to issues of human dignity and morality that Mr. Cherry, in his simple, blunt way, seems far better equipped to address.

Re: Church Information
It might also be that the church you are talking about is a small chapel in the city of Olangapo sort of like a community church? This means that they have no website.
Your best bet will be to e-mail the diocese of Olongapo and ask them for assistance.
Congratulations on your wedding and Good luck on your search for St. Augustine's.

An New York Police Department social media campaign that asked New Yorkers to tweet photos of themselves with officers has backfired.
Social media marketing can do wonders for your company. When done right, it can attract an abundance of new business, as well as drive repeat business. But what happens when it's done wrong? The New York Police Department (NYPD) definitely found that out yesterday when a Twitter campaign aimed at creating engagement with New Yorkers backfired.
@NYPDnews posted a tweet asking followers whether they had a photo with a member of the police department and if so, to tweet it with the hashtag #myNYPD. Attached to the tweet was a feel-good image of a man hugging two uniformed officers in winter.
When the post first went out, a few users started replying with cozy photos posing next to NYPD officers. It was social media marketing doing swimmingly well for a while. See below:
And this:
But then the "gone wrong" happened. All of a sudden the posts took a turn for the worst and the #myNYPD hashtag began being filled up with photos of police officers fighting with citizens, like this:
And this:
At the time of publishing this story, the hashtag #myNYPD had risen to the top 10 shared by Twitter users. Even people outside New York have started ridiculing the NYPD's campaign.
In response to the debacle, NYPD spokeswoman and deputy chief Kim Royster said in a statement that the police department "is creating new ways to communicate effectively with the community," and cited Twitter as an "open forum for an uncensored exchange." Brave comments, ma'am.
So what do you think of the NYPD's Twitter campaign? One thing's for sure - it may not have been the response that they were looking for, but it's definitely a way to get people talking about them! Let us know what you think.

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock
key review info
- Game: Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock
- Platform: Xbox 360
- Gamepad support: N/a
- Reviewed on:
- Show system requirements
Guitar Hero has become a modern rockin' phenomenon just like Woodstock, Rock Am Ring or.... Tenacious D. Even if it's not a band, an event or a new Metallica album, the game is still a media product that can turn into a rocker's hobby or a pop fan's favorite pastime. We're 3 days away from the official US launch and almost a month away from the European release and it's time for a close look at the title, that gravitates around major industry players like Activision and Neversoft.
On a Highway to Hell
Let me begin by saying that Activision and all the other companies involved in the promotion of GH III pulled out a stunner, by allowing us gamers to download the demo version of the game (also available HERE) and burn it on a DVD or CD, playing it on our Xbox 360 consoles afterwards. They've become pioneers of the industry by doing so, although the demo was also made available on the Xbox Live Marketplace a couple of days later. After seeing the demo surfacing online I feared that hackers might use it to find a weakness of the console or the game... A few days later, GH III, in its full version was leaked online, so it seems that my worst fears came true.
Leaving all this sour-tasting piracy issues aside, we're back to the musical game of the year, as the next year will probably be dominated by Rock Band or an improbable Guitar Hero IV. In case you've played the demo, you might be familiar with the fact that there are a couple of neat songs included giving you a taste of how the final song list will look live. For now we only get to rock with Pat Benatar and his 1980 hit "Hit Me with Your Best Shot", Pearl Jam's 1991 song "Even Flow" or the "Rock You Like a Hurricane" anthem performed by Scorpions. Tenacious D is also present on the demo's tracklist, together with Priestess, but in the full game you'll get to battle Tom Morello and the brilliant Slash, as you aim to become the best guitarist in the world.
Red Hot Chili Peppers, Alice Cooper, Kiss, Aerosmith, Disturbed, Muse and tons of other old-school and brand new bands are included in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, as you'll see for yourself by playing the full game. GH III features 8 major "levels" so to say, that grant you access to a new and more difficult collection of songs or battle with a guitar god. The list of bonus tracks is also impressive and you'll be surprised to find names like In Flames or Lacuna Coil on the list.
Headbanging all night long
In case you've missed the previous Guitar Hero games (3 of them for the record), let me tell you what GH III is all about. Basically it's a musical game that allows the players to use a guitar-shaped controller to simulate playing a real guitar. The screen shows a couple of scrolling notes that you'll have to play by timing your button presses right. The Xbox 360 version of the game includes a wireless guitar joystick, but the controller is also available on other platforms in its wired version. The latest Guitar Hero title is the first in the series that features competitive and co-op modes, available online.
In the demo version of GH III, you'll be able to try the practice mode, by choosing a song, an instrument (bass or guitar) and a difficulty mode (easy, medium, hard, expert). Depending on the song you've chosen, you'll be able to play the full version of the tune, or only parts of it, like the intro, the first verse or bridge, the chorus or that hardcore breakdown. There's also a speed selection in case you want to get accustomed to the song, in the slowest, slower, slow and full speed mode. This Guitar Hero is surely not boring, as even the loading screens were spiced up with funny quotes like "Smashed guitars just seem to sound better", " It can always be much louder" or "Never ever leave the singer in charge of the mix".
The venues included in this installment of the most famous musical game series are quite original and good looking, ranging from a strip bar lookalike to a canyon setting, where the concert takes place at night. You'll also take a tour to Japan and even play in Hell, battling the devil himself as one of the bosses. In case you want to start a multiplayer face-off, there's always that innovative Battle Mode, similar to the Pro Face-Off from GH II. The two players will have to compete against each other and play their songs, while trying to finish Star Power sequences. By doing that, they'll be granted new attacks, which can be used against their opponent. You can store up to 3 attacks and unleash them at any time by tilting the guitar upward.
Making the Video
Guitar Hero III is more vivid and colorful than the past games, putting to good use the graphical power of the Xbox 360. The on-screen characters have far more natural moves, while the lead singer manages to synchronize his/her lips with the song. Couldn't quite see if the guitarist was performing the notes all right, as I was too busy with getting my notes right. Also, you'll feel right away that you've missed a note, because the sound of the miss is more disturbing and the song's melodic line seems to be broken in case you mess up.
The star power meter and rock meter have become smaller, but they still look decent and they're useful in case you want to find out when the next combo will be available or what the public's opinion on your performance is. In case you forgot, the Star Power meter can be filled by getting all the star shaped notes right or by using the whammy bar while hitting them. Once you trigger the Star Power, it will be used as a multiplier for your points and it will also keep the Rock meter on a great level, allowing you to pass more difficult segments of the songs without failing it.
Graphically the game is an eye-candy in itself, from the urban and metal menus, to the hip and old-school characters or those spikehead punks. The guitars look superb, the locations are well done and the entire band looks as real as it gets, for a musical videogame. Feedback is essential as you're not playing for dummies and you'll get it throughout your performance, because the public can make you feel like a god by screaming and applauding or ruin your day by booing.
Guitar Hero III is everything we expected it to be and more... It stays true to the developer's promise to deliver an authentic rocking experience and does that with the aid of revamped graphics, 71 brand new songs, original characters, cool venues and the same gameplay systems that conquered gamers worldwide. Ad a new battle mode in the mix and a great online support for co-op and competitive modes and you've got yourself the best musical title ever. Will Rock Band be able to take over the throne from Guitar Hero III? We'll find that out soon enough, but for now, the latest GH title remains the champ and the number 1 party game for hardcore rockers.

Ships are inadvertently carrying trillions of stowaways in the water held in their ballast tanks. When the water is pumped out, invasive species could be released into new environments. Disease-causing microbes could also be released, posing a risk to public health, according to an article in the May issue of Microbiology Today.
There is no romantic adventure or skullduggery at work here, said Professor Fred Dobbs from Old Dominion University, Virginia, USA. Ships pump water in and out of ballast tanks to adjust the waterline and compensate for cargo loading, making the ship run as efficiently as possible. These tanks can hold thousands of tonnes of water. Any organisms in the water are likely to be released when it is next pumped out.
Many non-native animals and plants have been taken to new environments and become invasive, threatening the survival of local species; some fundamentally alter the ecosystem. Zebra mussels were introduced in North America and the comb jelly in the Black Sea and both have had enormous ecological and economic impacts
For more than 20 years we have known that a variety of large phytoplankton and protozoa are transported in this way, but we know very little about smaller microbes like bacteria and viruses. It is inevitable that hundreds of trillions of micro-organisms enter a single ships ballast tank during normal operations, said Professor Dobbs. The majority of these microbes are harmless, but some are a potential risk to public health.
Vibrio cholerae, which causes cholera in humans, can be carried in ballast tanks, said Professor Dobbs. There have been no known outbreaks of disease associated with ballasting activities, but the water is only sampled very rarely. Other disease-causing microbes in the tanks include Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia duodenalis, which cause stomach upsets.
Some people say microbes are present everywhere; they may be easily dispersed because they are so s

still need help, pics included...plzzzz
ok so my truck has been down a few months now, its not starting now and to make a long story short here is what i have checked/replaced
1. replaced cps
2. checked valve cover wire harness
3. replaced fuel filter
4. replaced fuel pump
5. got a code reader but no codes.
now i just replaced my fuel pump and while i was in there i found a connector unplugged and have no idea what it goes to, its the first pic on here (if i loaded the pics correct) its a two prong weather pack connector and is on the driver side valve cover. now the other two pics are a connector i forgot to plug back in after taking the fuel bowl out, i know where it goes but after further inspection its trashed, can you tell me what it is? i think its the fuel pressure somthing-or-other but want to be sure...that may be my culpret. but if the connector to that is shot, wouldnt that throw a code? any ways thanks for the help fellas.
first pic is the one i found unplugged and it is NOT the one plugged in under the turbo...thats already plugged in
this pic is the connector that is shot, comes from under the fuel bowl i think and connects in the next pic
this is on the driver side of the fuel bowl, down in the front valley sort of and is where the broken connector plugs into
First picture is for the Exhaust Back Pressure Valve solenoid.
Not necessary, it puts engine under load by closing valve on turbo exhaust side to warm engine up quicker.
Think second pic is Water Sensor lead.
Could be the fuel heater lead, but that is on the passenger side
