  Philadelphia CityPaper

  A Chicago program that has former shooters working to stop the violence comes to Philly.

  A national program called CeaseFire, proved to reduce gun violence in urban areas, has come to Philadelphia. Based at the Temple's School of Medicine in the Center for Urban Health, Ethics and Policy, CeaseFire conceives of violence as a disease whose transmission can be stopped through behavioral change. The program mixes statistical analysis with the knowledge of those in the neighborhood of the Philadelphia Police Department's 22nd District to target those most at-risk for gun violence.

• Terell Stafford helps train the next generation of Jazz greats - Fri, 26 Aug 2011

  Terell Stafford, an award-winning trumpeter and director of the jazz studies program in Temple University's Boyer College of Music and Dance.

  Before it was renamed Cecil B. Moore, North Philadelphia's Columbia Avenue was a well-known haven for some of the most notable names in jazz. John Coltrane, Dizzy Gillespie and many unknown musicians responsible for shaping the North American jazz genre found their mentors and cut their musical teeth in the smoky jazz bars that once lined the neighborhoods surrounding Temple University.

  Although those clubs are long gone, the spirit of jazz is kept alive in Temple's classrooms and performance halls thanks to Director of Jazz Studies Terell Stafford and the students and faculty of the Boyer College of Music and Dance.

  Since joining the Temple faculty, the award-winning trumpeter has helped shape a thriving musical scene on campus by creating an educational environment where young musicians learn more than scales.
