Undefined Sexuality refers to a person who does not claim a sexual orientation or identity. A primary reason for some not classify their sexual orientation is they feel that there is no need classify their sexuality or that people should not refer to an oriention but refer to the acts being Committed.
History
Ancient Greece
The ancient Greeks did not conceive of sexual orientation as a social identifier, as Western societies have done for the past century. In Greek it was highly polarized into "active" and "passive" partners, penetrator and penetrated, an active/passive polarization held to be associated with dominant and submissive social roles: the active (penetrative) role was associated with masculinity, higher social status, and adulthood, while the passive role was associated with femininity, lower social status, and youth.
Sexual Orientation vs. Sexual Acts Committed
Some do not like to classify their sexual orientation but rather the acts being committed.

Muscle Derived Stem Cell-- Research at the Stem Cell Research Center
By: Burhan Gharaibeh
Using a modification of the pre-plate technique, Dr. Johnny Huard and his laboratory ([www.pitt.edu/~huardlab]) have isolated 3 populations of myogenic cells from normal mouse skeletal muscle on the basis of adhesion characteristics and proliferation behavior of the digested muscle cells. The resultant cells are two major cell fractions, an early or rapidly adhering fraction (RAC) and a late or slowly adhering fraction (SAC). The RAC fraction is similar in morphology and markers to fibroblasts and satellite cells. SAC cells retain their phenotype for more than 30 passages and can differentiate into various lineages, including muscle, neural, osteogenic, and endothelial. More importantly, the transplantation of the SAC cells, in contrast to satellite cell transplantation, significantly improved the efficiency of muscle regeneration and dystrophin delivery to dystrophic muscle. Dr. Huard therefore believe that the SAC cells represent a novel population of muscle-derived stem cells (MDSCs) that will significantly improve muscle cell mediated therapies. His research main goal is to determine whether transplanted MDSCs can deliver dystrophin and lead to improvements in both the structure and function of dystrophic muscle and further investigate the ability of these MDSCs to ameliorate the function of dystrophic muscle. Huard is also performing experiments to determine whether the isolation method or the age and condition of the skeletal muscle source influence the cells’ biological properties. In addition, research at the Stem Cell Research Center (SCRC) are working to evaluate the relative importance of MDSC survival, self-renewal, and pluripotent behavior on the improved transplantation capacity of these cells. Finally, the investiagators are studying the use of systemic delivery of MDSCs to achieve dystrophin delivery and improve function in dystrophic muscle that is inaccessible via intramuscular injection. Dr. Burhan Gharaibeh has some limited data showing that MDSC can be delivered to newborn mice via the temporal vein. However, the majority of those cells end up in the capillary bed in the lung and the protocol has to be optimized. This project continues to increase our understanding of myogenic cell populations that display stem cell characteristics and may open new alternatives to improve muscle regeneration in dystrophic muscle via transplantation of MDSCs.
Tracking Stem Cells
A major issue in stem cell transplantation is tracking the injected cells to validate if they are differentiating into the desired cell type or if they are fusing to the local tissue without any improvement in function. Check this web site for other links to Dr. Burhan Gharaibeh on tracking the injected MDSCs in several animal tissues. [www.pit.edu/~burhan]

Dennis and Judi are two radio talk show hosts. Their full names are "Dennis Malloy" and "Judi Franco", and they have been working together since 1997. Their radio show airs on New Jersey 101.5, or 97.3 in S Jersey / Delaware.
Judi Franco is from Long Branch, NJ, is 45 years old, and has four children. She is married to Mark, who owns and operates a video editing business in Deal, NJ. She is a practicing Orthodox Sephardic Jew.
Dennis Malloy is from Marlton, NJ, is 49 years old, and is divorced with three children. He is a veteran of numerous radio programs in the Philadelphia radio market and worked at NJ101.5 before Franco joined him. Malloy is an avid bass fisherman who talks about fishing, his South Philadelphia Italian upbringing, and food, from eating to cooking to restaurants.
New Jersey 101.5 has the highest ratings in New Jersey, primarily due to two logistical factors: New Jersey has no VHF network television affiliate, from which residents would otherwise obtain information, and New Jersey has no other centrally located high power radio station. This leaves New Jersey 101.5 with a virtual monopoly of New Jersey listeners who are not served by any other broadcast outlet.
The Dennis and Judi show mixes a variety of topics, from New Jersey state government issues to the more mundane such as sending your children to summer camp. Dennis and Judi sometimes use a common American talk radio format: sensationalist-leaning, hot-button conservatism, along with Howard Stern-esque crude humor (but notably less crude and socially liberal than Stern), a combination which attracts a large amount of listeners who are also invited to call in to the program. Although Dennis and Judi are mostly socially conservative, they usually take a libertarian stance on whether or not government should interfere with citizen's lives.
Dennis and Judi often jokingly state that they subscribe to the idea that the end of the world is near.
A frequent call in guest of their show is Franco's father, former electronics store mogul Joe Franco. Joe is known for his raspy voice and amusing sayings that are often imitated by Malloy or played as a sound effect recorded during previous shows. Joe Franco usually gives good advice on many topics, including using Vicks VapoRub to heal the cracks in your skin (it works great). In addition, the Friday Music Hour from noon to 1pm focuses on a particular theme such as "Songs that remind you of your first love" or "Guilty Pleasures".
Upcoming Events: Dennis' celebrity match with Tommy G, where he is expected to get knocked out.
Their fanbase includes former acting New Jersey Governor Richard Codey and [
