– OBJECTIVE: Current precision medicine approaches offer powerful tools to optimize medication regimens; however, the potential impact of these tools in cancer patients with multiple drug treatments has not fully appreciated yet. Here we describe a planning project scheduled to start in the next six months. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The overall endpoint of this project is to explore the potential association between the presence of individual genetic profile and severe toxicity rates in so-called "frail" cancer patients, using a nested case-control study design. The pilot study includes the detection of the individual pharmacogenetic profile of 150 (cases), prospect enrolled cancer "frail" patients, and 150 (control) retrospectively paired enrolled individuals. Methods for addressing the primary endpoint include: (a) Evaluation of cost-effectiveness analysis by recording QALY criteria; (b) Data recording by a brief self-administered questionnaire used to evaluate the adherence of a patient's tests and the impact of this genotyping on the patient's adverse drug reactions (ADR); (c) A sample size of paired (for age, gender, education, social status, geriatric syndromes, number of medications and comorbidities) 150 (cases) and 150 (controls); (d) Genotyping method choice by current widely diffuse platforms. RESULTS: The investigators believe that genotype screening and the management of the overall cost of health care personalized therapy has the potential to reduce the health care costs of the Italian national health system (SSN). CONCLUSIONS: Finally, the innovative issue of this project is to advocate the creation of a new model of the co-operative team (Physicians, pharmacist, geneticist and lab manager) that join for planning the most appropriated personalized therapy for their patient.

Storm Damage in Santa Cruz: Before and After Video Shows Hardest-hit Areas in Capitola, California After 'Bomb Cyclone'
#Storm #Damage #Santa #Cruz #Video #Shows #Hardesthit #Areas #Capitola #California #Bomb #Cyclone Welcome to Alaska Green Light Blog, here is the new story we have for you today:
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (KGO) – One of the areas hardest hit by Wednesday's devastating storm was the Santa Cruz County coast.
Video showed the storm surge destroying part of Capitola Wharf and washing up huge logs on Santa Cruz Beach.
But to really get a feel for how big the waves were, you have to look at how it usually looks.
SCHEDULE: "Parade of Storms" for the Bay Area as Bomb Cyclone recovery continues
ABC7 News found some locations in the Santa Cruz area and compared a before-shot on Google Maps to videos taken during Thursday's epic storm.
SANTA CRUZ – East Cliff Drive
We found this incredible video of a home next to Moran Lake Beach. Under normal conditions, the water is about 150 feet from East Cliff Drive.
But in video from the storm, a massive wave can be seen rolling completely over that 150 feet, going over East Cliff Drive and pouring into neighboring Moran Lake.
The house, which is on the southern part of the beach, was also badly damaged when the wave in the video smashed through the shore area of the house, went through the entire house and came out of the garage.
CAPITOLA WHARF
This iconic Capitola landmark typically stands about 20 feet above the water (depending on the tide) as shown in the Google Maps before image.
But during the peak of the high surf, the peaks of the waves regularly slammed against the quay's upper platform.
Ultimately, the powerful waves destroyed a large part of the wharf, rendering it unusable and in need of major repairs.
RELATED: From washed away piers to devastating flooding, here's a look at storm damage in the Bay Area
CAPITOLA – Soquel Creek
Show off images of this creek flowing calmly into the ocean at Capitola State Beach.
A number of restaurants along the Esplanade overlook this creek, including Margaritaville, Capitola Bar & Grill, Paradise Beach Grille, and the Sand Bar Capitola.
These restaurants are typically located about 400 feet from the ocean's edge and 5 to 10 feet above the creek, but Thursday's video shows waves breaking all the way up the creek, washing in and over the outdoor patios of these restaurants.
APTOS PIER – Seacliff State Beach
This pier used to be associated with the famous "Cement Ship" until the landmark was damaged in previous storms.
In front of the pictures of the pier, show that it was also about 20 feet above the water (depending on the tide).
But videos from Thursday show waves rolling over the top of the pier, eventually destroying a huge section of the wooden structure.

Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder is greeted by students at the Oklahoma Capitol as part of an initiative to battle childhood obesity in Oklahoma City, one of a number of cities and states with plans to tackle obesity.
More than 35 percent of Arkansas adults are obese, making it the heaviest state in the nation. Gov. Asa Hutchinson looked at those numbers and saw two problems: an increased risk of all sorts of health challenges, and an increased burden on taxpayers.
Armed with data about the devastating effects of obesity, Hutchinson, a Republican, last month launched a 10-year plan to combat the problem in his state, from tightening nutritional standards in schools to creating more walkable communities and improving access to affordable, healthy foods.
Arkansas isn't the only state to take on obesity this year. Governors in New York, Georgia and Tennessee have all announced plans to combat high rates of obesity among their citizens.
Nationwide, a third of all adults—78 million—are obese, up nearly 50 percent since 1990, according to Health Intelligence, a health data analysis site. The top 10 heaviest states are in the South and the Midwest, according to a new report by the State of Obesity, a project of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Trust for America's Health, an advocacy and research group based in Washington, D.C.
Cities and states have a vested interest in tackling the issue. Obesity, defined as a body mass index of 30 or higher, is a leading cause of preventable death in the U.S., and can cause a host of chronic health issues, from diabetes to high blood pressure to cancer.
Across the country, obesity-related health problems cost $147 billion to $210 billion each year, according to the State of Obesity. Obesity is also associated with diminished productivity on the job and to work absenteeism costing the country $4.3 billion per year, according to the report.
State and local governments can play a crucial role in reducing obesity rates, said Rich Hamburg, deputy director of the Trust for America's Health.
The highest obesity rates in the U.S. are found in Arkansas (35.9 percent), West Virginia (35.7 percent) and Mississippi (35.5 percent). Colorado (21.3 percent), the District of Columbia (21.7 percent) and Hawaii (22.1 percent) have the lowest rates of obesity.
Race, class, culture and ethnicity play a big role in obesity. American Indians and Native Alaskans have the highest rates of adult obesity, at 54 percent, according to the Trust for America's Health. Among African-Americans, 47.8 percent are obese, while 42.5 percent of Latinos are obese. Asian-Americans have the lowest rates of obesity at 10.8 percent, while 32.6 percent of whites are obese.
Research suggests that the poorer you are, the more likely you are to be obese. This is particularly true for white and black women, according to the Food Research and Action Center. Among adults, 36.2 percent of high school dropouts (who are much more likely to be poor) are obese, compared to 21.5 percent of college graduates, according to the United Health Foundation.
Why the disparity? One reason is that low-income neighborhoods are often "food deserts," isolated rural and urban pockets where grocery stores and farmers markets are in scarce supply—but places where fast food restaurants are abundantly available. When healthy food can be found in these neighborhoods, it is more expensive than the filling, starchy fare that is plentiful.
Over the past couple of years, obesity rates have stabilized somewhat, but they remain stubbornly high, health advocates say, with adult obesity rates increasing in Kansas, Minnesota, New Mexico, Ohio and Utah, according to the State of Obesity.
In Georgia, where the obesity rate is 30.5 percent, government agencies initiated a partnership with the Atlanta Falcons and the Atlanta Braves in 2011 to reduce obesity and increase physical activity among schoolchildren. The ongoing program includes an app to assess fitness and uses social media to get its message across.
In March, Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam, a Republican, set up an initiative that helps local communities create programs supporting physical activity, healthy eating and tobacco abstinence.
In New York, where 27 percent of adults are obese, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, in July created a new program to provide $6.7 million in grants to 26 organizations across the state to increase physical activity and access to healthy food for schoolchildren.
Hutchinson, the Arkansas governor, said his plan will tackle obesity on several fronts, including encouraging physical education, creating healthy worksites and more walkable communities and reducing sugar-sweetened drinks.
Some of the programs will cost money, while others will save money, Hutchinson said.
Like many, Mick Cornett, the mayor of Oklahoma City since 2004, had always struggled with his weight. Nearly 10 years ago, a couple of things happened that shook him: First, he happened upon a magazine article declaring that Oklahoma City was the fattest in the country. No mayor wants to read that. Then he went online, plugged his height and weight into a BMI calculator—and was stunned to find that at 220 pounds, he was technically obese.
He realized that the entire city had been built "for cars, not people"—including the city's plethora of drive-thru lanes at fast food restaurants. And, as a former city hall reporter, he understood the power of messaging. So rather than scolding the city, at the end of 2007 Cornett invited its residents to lose 1 million pounds with him. Over 50,000 residents have signed up for the citywide diet.
Cornett said he decided to work with fast food restaurants, encouraging them to incorporate healthier fare such as salads and grilled food into their menus, and even having competitions for the tastiest healthy meal. Churches and corporations joined in as well. He did it without any taxpayer dollars, he said.
Government has a role to play in shaping citizens' health, Cornett said, and encouraging his constituents to lose weight was just the first phase. Now, he's working on long-term projects to make the city a healthier place to live, building sidewalks and jogging paths to make it more pleasant to commute without a car.
A project to eradicate the food deserts in poorer neighborhoods is also underway, with two major supermarkets funded with tax incentives to encourage developers to invest in neighborhoods that have festered for decades.

Open arms and hearts greet immersion program participants
Annemarie MacGinley 28 July 2019
The 2019 St Vincent de Paul National Immersion Program gave nine members a deeper appreciation of life in a remote Indigenous community, writes Annmarie MacGinley.
'MGK, Tim, Amy. Are we playing footy now?' These were the excited cries that greeted us every morning from the kids of Nganmarriyanga. In their bare feet, they ran along the red dirt road to meet us at 8am. The smiles on their faces never faded during our two-week immersion.
On 6 April, nine St Vincent de Paul members met for the first time in Darwin. We had travelled from Perth, Tasmania, Canberra, Melbourne and Brisbane to spend two weeks in the remote Indigenous community of Nganmarriyanga—a community of 500 people, 400km southwest of Darwin. The weekend in Darwin allowed for team bonding, preparation of resources, and organisation of food for the time in the community. Importantly, this period allowed for open discussion between the immersion members and invaluable cultural awareness training provided by Dominic McCormack, a Darwin lawyer who grew up in the region where the immersion would take place and is a fluent speaker of the local language Murrinh Patha. We celebrated Mass at St Martin de Porres Catholic Aboriginal Community in Darwin, where we were welcomed and blessed before heading out to the community.
On Monday, day 3, the immersion team boarded a 12-seater light plane for a 50-minute flight into Nganmarriyanga. The community, which is often cut off by road during the wet season, consists of a primary school, a grocery store, a health centre, a church and a community centre. For the next two weeks, we were without telephones, television and newspapers. We completely immersed ourselves into the life of Nganmarriyanga. It was the beginning of 'being comfortable with the uncomfortable'—a phrase introduced to us by our spiritual advisor, Belinda Chapman.
It was the most amazing experience. We spent the first week working in the school assisting the teachers in the classrooms, which ranged from a parents and babies group (emphasising FaFT—Families as First Teachers) through to high school years. The second week, during school holidays, we held fun and engaging activities for the children. These ranged from hot and hectic football games on the oval, to making slime and playdough. We enjoyed colouring-in and craft sessions and making pikelets for afternoon tea. A water activity was held every afternoon to provide much-welcomed relief from the heat—the most popular being the slip and slide. We were fortunate enough to be there during Holy Week and to celebrate Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday and Good Friday.
The 2019 'Vinnies Mob' have all come away from the two weeks with a range of varied and cherished experiences. I will always remember collecting palms for Palm Sunday and the Stations of the Cross procession through the community.
The experience was made even more meaningful by several community elders who, together with the Year 1 teacher, painted the Stations of the Cross. These paintings were a mixture of the Indigenous dot artworks and traditional religious art. The paintings were paraded through the community together with a large cross.
As the Stations of the Cross began on one side of the community the group was small, but as the procession continued past the houses our group grew and became a representation of how a journey can bring people together. It was poignant to be able to journey with the community, finally finishing at the church, which consists of a tin roof over a concrete slab. Though a humble structure, it felt more church-like than many others I have been in. It was reminiscent of Pope Francis' statement: 'I prefer a Church which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets, rather than a Church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security'.
We were so privileged to share in the uplifting and energising spirit of the Catholic community, with most services filled with beautiful songs and liturgical dancing. The dedication of the Church elders and the depth of faith was inspiring and moving.
The 2019 immersion participants feel so blessed to have been given the opportunity to learn and be offered a deeper appreciation of life in a remote Indigenous community. Every day we would play, reflect and pray. It was a journey of personal growth, culture and faith. A journey that we will carry home with us to our local conferences and daily life.
We are thankful to St Vincent de Paul Society for supporting a program that is meaningful and allows for a cross-cultural understanding that would otherwise be hard to experience or grasp. Likewise, we are grateful to the elders and community members of Nganmarriyanga that welcomed the Vinnies Mob with open arms and hearts. I would highly recommend other members of St Vincent de Paul to apply and journey with God.

Pianist Dave Flippo's release Life on Mars is not as esoteric as the title sounds. He and his trio elegantly interpret classic rock tunes with a couple of standards thrown into the mix, and endow them with a delightful sense of swing.
The overall laid-back mood the band creates bellies constantly engaging variations in their approach to the material. The Curtis Lewis/Nat Adderley-penned "Old Country" opens with lilting effervescence and hints of Latin. Flippo's facile, charming solo filled with graceful arpeggios nods at Western classical influences. Bassist Donn De Santo embellishes the melody with lyricism before the three musicians exchange clever and inventive phrases. Haunting group performance with con-arco bass makes for a memorable conclusion.
In intriguing contrast stand such tracks as the award-winning "If Six Were Nine." The Jimi Hendrix piece features electric instrumentation and a funky ambience. Flippo's acerbic keyboard notes swagger with soul while De Santo lays down muscular bass lines. Another example is Bob Dylan's "Tangled Up In Blue," where Flippo and De Santo converse in an eloquent dialogue with plenty of deep simmer over drummer Heath Chappell's thunderous gallop.
Flippo's arrangements do not simply "jazzify" the originals, but tastefully infuse them with new sensibilities. On Joni Mitchell's "Chelsea Morning," the ensemble plays the theme with suave subtly. Flippo improvises with crystalline tones, showcasing the composition's complex beauty. Meanwhile Stevie Wonder's "Visions" is given a crepuscular mood with darkly hued rhythms. Flippo again gracefully exposes its sublime and emotive core.
Life on Mars may not be terribly innovative or groundbreaking, but thanks to the high-caliber artistry of the individual musicians and their superb camaraderie, it is pleasantly alluring. This enjoyable and captivating work puts a fresh spin on these much-loved songs without detracting from their inherent appeal.

Dave Flippo has a rather unique new disc out called Life On Mars. It's a CD of pop tunes from the post-Tin Pan Alley era, and there are some gems here. Joni Mitchell's "Chelsea Morning" is given a gorgeous treatment, and David Bowie's "Life On Mars" is fantastic as well. A few standards round out the program, including a really nice version of "It Might As Well Be Spring." Bassist Don De Santo and drummer Heath Chappell do a great job playing alongside Flippo. Life on Mars is a nicely grooving disc that I think you're going to like a lot. - Paul Abella - by Paul Abella, WDCB Radio, Chicago
(Tao Tunes) - The Herald Scotland - Dec 15, 2011 - Rob Adams
"But as one of the most intriguing releases to appear this year, it's (Tao Tunes) also a gift to the wider world. Sure, Tao Tunes can be dark and serious in places but it's also playful, joyous and musically enjoyable, and with the original text's sometimes fortuitous rhyming structure, at times it's simply downright good fun. - The Herald Scotland
" . . . the music itself reflects the texts beauty and wisdom, even without recitation ... Tao Tunes will satisfy those who like a philosophical bent to their jazz." - Chicago Jazz Magazine- Hrayer Attarian
"And now, in the category of "Bet you didn't see that one coming," I give you the new album by Chicago pianist, composer, and vocalist Dave Flippo. But whether it's the craftsmanship of the writing, or the surprising appeal of Flippo's vocals, or the strength of the Tao Te Ching itself, Tao Tunes has definitely left its mark on my sensibilities. And a few of its earworms, against all odds, have burrowed deep into my right brain." - Chicago Music Examiner-by Neil Tesser
Chicago pianist, composer, and arranger Dave Flippo's debut album, When the Heart is Strong, the Voice Rings True is a collection of eight standards and six originals that documents Flippo's piano playing and unique vocal style.
The voice begins to ring with "Bye Bye Blackbird." Flippo's tenor vocal style is light and pleasant in telling the story of the Blackbird, while being well supported underneath by bassist, Donn De Santo. Flippo's swinging soloing style keeps the melody close to heart through out the journey of harmonic and motivic exploration.
"The Face of Love," is the first Flippo original heard on the project. The bossa-nova feel is enhanced with the addition of Leo Murphy on drums and percussion and Dan Hester on flute. The lyrical story line is that of eternal love and the emotions it brings.
"Kuzushi,' that's a Japanese word that means that you are off balance," are the opening lines sung by Flippo, which is followed a playful bluesy melody doubled by the piano. As with all Flippo's originals, the music is clear with strong melodies coupled with interesting story lines. Flippo takes a couple choruses of vocal soloing, scatting for sure, with some playful use of Japanese syllabic sounds
"Spiderman" contains very nice solos by both Hester (tenor sax) and De Santo (bass). The arrangement is an enjoyable take on a familiar superhero theme song. The song is a fun and unexpected closer to When the Heart is Strong, the Voice Rings True.
The collection of tunes are primarily presented as a duet with Flippo singing, with the exception of "The Face of Love," "Bossa De Santo," and "Spiderman," which are augmented with guest artist. The CD flow is enjoyable and explores many varied emotions and styles to keep the listeners interest.
This is a pleasing premier CD for Da Duo Di Flippo De Santo, a Chicago-based duo, which continues to build upon the tradition of the jazz standards of old.
Tracks: Bye, Bye Blackbird, Ballad of the Sad Young Men, The Face I love, The Face of Love, Prelude to a Dream, The Jets Song, Autumn Rambler, Kuzushi, Bossa De Santo, People I'll Never Know, Here, There and Everywhere, Twilight Thoughts, A Night in Tunisia, Blame it on My Youth, Spiderman Theme - JazzReview.com
Ganesh, the most recent work of Dave Flippo, gives us a taste of the Orient through the eyes of a Westerner, uniting the cultures with his own unique philosophy.
Born at the intersecting point of many cultures, the resulting jazz language has discovered how to gather the energies and exalt the qualities of each culture's music, succeeding where others have often failed. Flippo, a native of Chicago, chooses this city as a point of departure for a voyage in time and space, moving from the sounds of ancient instruments like the tabla to modern electronic instruments (and objects such as a giant steel garbage can). The music passes through the Indian atmosphere of Cool Ali, Battle of Shiva and Ganesh and Ganesh to the Greek Syrtotic, the Indonesian Shadow Dances and the swinging Sweet Imp. (The Battle of Shiva and Ganesh is a work that could be considered an opera in itself, taking the listener from the birth, development and termination of the conflict--the spectator is presented with a music so profound and vibrant that it seems to materialize in front of the listener's eyes.)
Flippo, a person who seems to deeply appreciate Indian music and culture, is joined on his voyage with musical companions Dan Hesler (sax and flute), Donn DeSanto (bass), Heath Chappell (percussion) and Aris Biskis (percussion). The CD alternates conversant ensemble pieces with a number of solo piano pieces (four Preludes and Shadow Dances), which are more like solitary meditations--true internal journeys. The musicians are capable of keeping the listeners together-- hand in hand, side by side--with their energetic and diverse rhythms. A sound is born, rich in shade and color, which is, at once, steeped in a study of the past while striving to understand the present and imagine the future.
Flippo, in this work, seems almost to wants to demonstrate that music can be used as a means to reunite the many worlds one has explored throughout one's life, which lie scattered in the many corners of the mind.
Three and a half stars (out of five) - All About Jazz Italia
From the opening burst of explosive sound of its title track, Ganesh is as startlingly brash and original as its cover art suggests. Its musical boundaries span the globe with the sounds and styles and rhythmic influences, reaching from Africa to Arabia, to Ireland and India, and back here to the Chicago jazz scene. Although musician/composer David Flippo, the musical guru of Flippomusic, is based in Skokie and has been teaching and performing in the Chicago area for a number of years, his training in music history, ethnomusicology and Indian musical theory and practice (including a doctorate from the University of Michigan) has led his considerable composing, arranging and keyboard skills down a decidedly global path.
Although Flippomusic's sound defies easy categorization, it frequently calls to mind the musical landscapes of Weather Report. But whereas that band fused elements of world music into a more homogeneous blend, Flippo seems to zero in on diverse styles and disciplines, and then turn them into something uniquely his own.
Flippomusic, as a performing group, is diverse as well, including Lithuanian precussionist Aris Biskis, who plays the "stack-o-cymbals and beads," Heath Chappell, also on percussion, Dan Hesler, saxophone and flute, and Donn DeSanto on electric and acoustic bass. And for on this CD, these regular members are joined by tabla player Yatindra Viad on two tracks, and Julliard-trained flutist, Lyon Leifer, who plays "bansuri," an Eastern Indian bamboo flute on the tune "Battle of Shiva and Ganesh." As a member of the St. Louis Symphony, Leifer received a Fulbright government grant which led him to New Dehli, and then to Bombay, and an opportunity for study with the renowned Indian bansuri player and craftsman Devendra Murdeshwar.
But, all diversity aside, this CD is a joy to listen to from beginning to end. The title track, "Ganesh," is based on an Indian raga and employs a fascinating melodic line that seems to turn on itself, shifting its rhythmic accents in mirror-like fashion, featuring fine solos from Dave and saxophonist Dan Hesler. Then, from the land of incense and elephants, Flippo takes us deep into the arid regions of the Mideast with "Camel Trot," incorporating non-traditional counterpoint and harmony with traditional Arabic scales. "Cool Ali," sounds a bit like Weather Report with Hesler's tenor sax cushioned in cool keyboard textures. Every tune is a stand-out and, as we, the listeners, journey through these tracks, the superb contributions of DeSanto, Chappell and Biskis become more evident, sweeping us up and away with seamless crescendos—taking us to dizzying heights and down again.
Dispersed among the arranged ensemble tracks, produced by Flippo, Hesler and DeSanto, are several more recent solo piano performances, produced by Flippo and Bradley Parker-Sparrow. The inclusion of these more meditative interludes, all compositions by Flippo, add yet another intriguing dimension to this richly satisfying program.—Dennis Sieja - Jazz Institute of Chicago
Chicago pianist/keyboardist David Flippo is hardly the first to combine jazz and world music, but his group Flippomusic Globaljazz is unorthodox in that it actually specializes in fusing jazz (both mainstream and avant-garde) with Middle Eastern, Asian, African, and Latin sounds. The resulting album is as unpredic- table as it is enriching. - CD Review Magazine
David Flippo--whose ethno-jazz quintet, Flippomusic, is included in this week's Chicago Symphony Orchestra's "East Meets West" festival--is a prime example of a fusion artist for the 90s. Classically trained (he got a doctorate in composition from the University of Michigan), the former keyboard child prodigy switched to jazz in the mid-80s but hasn't abandoned his roots. Indeed his love of jazz, combined with an intense curiosity about music from other cultures, only heightens his willingness to experiment and mix diverse elements. The result, as can be heard on Flippomusic's latest CD, Tendrils of Light, is an idiosyncratic eclecticism that's true to the spirit of the tribal music it celebrates, be it Javanese, Indian, or Brazilian. At this concert the band--whose members are Flippo, Steve Hashimoto (bass), Heath Chappell and Aras Biskis (percussion), and John Boes (wind)--will perform cuts that illustrate how Eastern rhythms and instrumental sounds can be placed into jazz and new-music contexts. Also included is "Shadow Dances," a percussive tribute to Javanese puppet theater and its raucous gamelan accompaniment. The concert is preceded by Flippo's lecture on the influence of world music on jazz since the 60s. Wednesday, 5:30 PM, Newberry Library, 60 W. Walton; 943-9090. Next Friday, February 9, 8 PM, Borders Books & Music, 830 N. Michigan; 573-0564. TED SHEN - Chicago Reader
Of all the Chicago jazz ensembles searching for new sounds, one of the more alluring has to be Flippomusic, the rare band of musical adventurers who prefer to seduce the ear rather than accost it.
That leader Dave Flippo and his colleagues do so by combining elements of jazz with Middle Eastern melody, makes the venture all the more intriguing.
Flippo, who played the "Wednesday-night "world music" at the Jazz bulls, on North Lincoln Park West, obviously is not the first jazz improviser to find source material and inspiration in music of far-off cultures. That technique dates as far back as Jelly Roll Morton, who brought elements of "Spanish tinge" (his own term for Latin elements) into his own early jazz.
Almost a century later, Flippo's way of blending two seemingly disparate musical idioms proves as fresh and contemporary as it is provocative, thanks to the sophistication of his compositions and the virtuosity of his players.
Certainly any jazz musicians who build a set on pieces titles "Zimbabalupi," Antelopin'" and "Arabopic" are up to something unusual. The exotic scales, oddly undulating textures and strangely complex chords that define all of these works also distinguish Flippo's idiom from almost anything else around.
So, too does some of the band's instrumentation, with Flippo playing keyboards, melodica and what he calls a "three-octave thumb piano."
As for the band's repertoire, its' consistently interesting. In "Arabopic," for instance, Flippo and friends apply the energy of classic be-bop to non-Western scales and modes. On "Camel Trot," Dan Hesler's insinuating phrases on soprano saxophone are backed by lush harmonizations and colors. With Steve Hashimoto playing ingratiating lines on electric bass and Heath Chappell and Aras Biskis layering intricate cross rhythms on percussion, bandleader Flippo has put together an ensemble well worth nurturing. - Chicago Tribune
GANESH is one of the most interesting contemporary jazz/world music CDs I have heard in recent years, each song a reflection of intricate and unusual jazz motifs that are original as well as entertaining. I have always been fascinated by and hold a respect for the Hindu religion simply because it has a honest voice and has had to overcome a lot of prejudice in the past 100 years.
Those who know Hindu mythology are aware of the importance of the god known as Ganesh. Ganesh is there to help one overcome personal burdens, act as the remover of obstacles, share wisdom and to guide one on her or his spiritual journey, among other attributes. Odd as it may seem, I was recently give a twelve pound hand-carved Ganesh bookend carved out of stone, given to hold up my corner of six jazz reference books and a dictionary! A wonderful gift with a remarkable carved face of an elephant. It sits quietly on my computer table holding up the dictionary. Strange, wonderful things do come about one's way at times!
This collection contains 14 remarkable jazz works, starting with "Ganesh" (Malconce raag)," and including such eclectic sounds as found in the songs "Battle of Shiva and Ganesh" (Gujri Todi raag), "Shadow Dances," "Sweet Imp," "Syrtotic," "The Jig's Up," "Prelude: Prayer," "Gyromaniations." The listening audience will find each song as different as night is from day.
I found the performances flawless, perfectly matched to the jazz material at hand, and whether a solo or group performance, excellent. GANESH is something that will capture the listening audience's attention completely with its world music flavor and contemporary jazz combination.
Many images float through these songs, and the listening audience will discover unique images in each of these songs. "American Crawl," "Camel Trot," and "Cool Ali" are other fine songs that bear close attention.
For some very intricate piano work, take a few listens to the sounds on "Shadow Dances." Each musician is toprate in GANESH. David Flippo is excellent as a pianist, creating and sharing his unique musical ideas with the audience in a flawless, straight-ahead fashion.
A change of pace, refreshing, combining and reinventing, lively, gentle, classical forms, challenging and exotic, GANESH is an interesting brew, a special cup of tea that the jazz listening audience will embrace for its concepts, images, and ability to share feelings of sound with each listener. This collection will come across as personal, close, intimate, and sensitive to each listener, as if created for that listener alone to partake of! To be able to share successfully jazz visions with the audience is what GANESH is all about. Perfect. --LeeProser - Jazz Review.Com
One of the most unusual and appealing bands to spring up in Chicago of late, Flippomusic Globaljazz speaks a language of its own making-and a beguiling language it is. Part Arabic melody, part Asian harmony, part American bop (and so on), the band creates a sound, a texture and a brand of improvisation as exotic as it is original.
Listen to the sinuous flute lines on "Buddha's Siesta," the unusual rhythmic ideas on "Antelopin' " and the lush textures on the title track, and you'll hear a music at once complex and transparent, sophisticated and accessible. Further, the way this band utterly transforms such jazz standards as "Do Nothin' 'Til You Hear From Me" and "Well You Needn't" defies expectations.
It's a terrific recording, but here's hoping it marks only the beginning for keyboardist and composer David Flippo's ensemble. Joined by electric bassist Steve Hashimoto, reed player Dan Hesler, percussionist Aras Biskis and various guests (including percussionists Hamid Drake and Michael Zerang), Flippo has created a band with ample promise. - Chicago Tribune
Once you know the name of this quintet' leader--Dave Flippo, playing piano and synths--the rest of its odd designation falls into place. Of course at this point the whole idea of "world music" carries little novelty, either as a self-contained genre or as the most widespread new influence on every idiom from classical to rock; the phrase itself attained buzzword status back in the 80s. Most groups concerned with world-beat rhythms tend to attach themselves to a single culture -- Brazilian, say, or West African or Middle Eastern -- or to blend aspects of them all into a purportedly "universal" melange. But Flippo has done neither; instead his repertoire includes separate tunes that specifically explore Arabic, African, Latin American and Indian music. The trick is to avoid cliche among all this eclecticism, and Flippo does this to an acceptable extent. His compositions have enough bite to elevate them from mere vehicles, and his group really seem to inhabit their dizzying musical travelogue; they play each piece from the inside out rather than merely imposiing the appropriate rhythms when called for. For that you can place no little credit with Hamid Drake, the master percussionist whose expertise with rhythms from around the globe has attained locally legendary stature. Globaljazz performs Friday as part of this weekend's University of Chicago Jazz Festival, headlined by Malachi Thompson's sextet (Friday) and the New Horizons Ensemble (Saturday). Friday, 8 PM, Ida Noyes Hall, University of Chicago, 1212 E. 59th; 702-7300. Thursday, 8 PM, Southport Records Jazz Fest, Bop Shop, 1807 W. Division; 235-3232. - Chicago Reader
On Flippomusic Globaljazz's Tendrils of Light (Southport SSD-002), David Flippo & Co. bring world music influences to bear on what is essentially jazz. Nothing new, right? What gives this recording so much more is the band's élan and their sharp musical chops. At times they offer very traditional jazz, but then go off to explore the world with such instruments as a grand piano, the Arabic dumbek, and the Indian tabla. Toss in some Latin percussion, and it becomes a potpourri of styles that keeps you guessing - Schwann Spectrum
Strait out of Chicago by way of various global byways, the octet known as Flippomusic Globaljazz makes a point of surfing between jazz and world music strains of the Latin, African, Asian, Middle Eastern and other types.
Along the way, the consensus attitude shifts from whimsy to contemplation! Their album Tendrils of Light (Southport) is nothing if not polydirectional. Leader-keyboardist David Flippo's material keeps you guessing: the album opens with the Caribbean-meets-Far-Eastern "Zimbabalupi" and closed with the twilight ballad "Dreams Reborn." The group's version of "Do Nothing 'Till You Hear From Me" is liberally undercoated with dark reharmonizations and a slinking rhythm, while "Well You Needn't" assumes a slow and rubbery reggae posture. Sometimes the going gets diffuse, but the heart is in the right place. - Jazz Times Magazine
Contemporary jazz is coming to Tommy Nevin's Pub in Evanston thanks to Skokie resident Dave Flippo. He will be bringing his quartet, Jazz From Planet Flippo, to the popular restaurant and performance venue twice a month starting Jan. 22.Audiences will hear original pieces by pianist and composer Flippo as well as his arrangement of tunes by such artists as David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder and The Beatles. These artists are featured on the group's most recent album, "Life on Mars."
In addition, Jazz From Planet Flippo members will play more modern tunes by such artists as Amy Winehouse and Jason Mraz. "But they're jazz versions of them," Flippo said. "And I'm writing some originals that are exploring new directions. I'm trying to get things that are more cosmic and spiritual, and then some things that are more fun."
Flippo has been playing jazz since he was about 14 years old. "I was classically trained and I did a doctorate in music composition and theory but I always played jazz on the side," he said. "Miles Davis was the main guy that I really liked. At first it sounded like noise to me and then I started appreciating it."
Flippo has led a jazz ensemble since 1992. "I mainly put it together to play my music, because I'm a composer, but we've gotten into some other projects lately," Flippo said. Saxophone player Dan Hesler has been with Flippo from the beginning. His quartet also includes drummer Heath Chappell and Donn De Santo on acoustic and electric bass.
Jazz from Planet Flippo has performed at numerous jazz festivals, including Taste of Chicago, South Shore Jazzfest, Around the Coyote Art Festival and Navy Pier World Jazz Festival. They have also performed at many clubs, including Pete Miller's, Beat Kitchen and Hot House, and frequently perform at colleges and libraries. Special public performances have included Jazzin' at the Shedd, After Hours at the Field Museum, Brookfield Zoo Summer Concert Series and Chicago Cultural Center Concert Series.
Flippo said that what makes his ensemble unique is the diverse influences of his original music. "I'm into world music, I'm into Indian and African, I'm into historical classic music like Bach and Beethoven and Renaissance, and I'm into jazz," he said. The most recent of his group's five albums, "Life on Mars," reflects some of those influences. "I arranged a bunch of rock classics and pop classics from the '60s and '70s," he explained.
Flippo, who earned a bachelor of arts from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, a Master of Musical Arts in music composition from the Eastman School of Music and a Doctorate of Musical Arts in music composition from the University of Michigan, has been teaching in this area since 1987. He currently teaches music, jazz and classical piano at Triton College and the College of Lake County, as well as giving private lessons.
Flippo is looking forward to bringing his group to Tommy Nevin's for several reasons. "I have a lot of students in this area," he noted, adding, "Evanston's a cool town. It's a nice club and it has a nice room to play in." More at www.flippomusic.com .

Jazz from Planet Flippo When: 3-6 p.m. Jan. 22, Feb. 12 and Feb. 26
Where: Tommy Nevin's, 1450 Sherman Ave., Evanston NO COVER - ALL AGES - Pioneer Press - Chicago Tribune
Dave Flippo is from his own planet. But, he counters, so is everybody else.
"That's the weird thing about human existence. Every person walking around, they're the center of their universe," Flippo said. "When I write my music, I'm not writing it for other people; I'm writing it for myself and expressing my own world."
Flippo is a composer and musician whose quartet, "Jazz from Planet Flippo," has started a series of performances at Tommy Nevin's Pub in Evanston. They currently play twice a month at Nevin's — their next show is Jan. 22 — and feature a variety of Flippo's compositions, from world music-inspired pieces to "jazzified" covers of popular songs.
Though Flippo started off writing classical and contemporary concert music, he said he was drawn to the freedom and improvisation of jazz. After 11 years of pursuing higher education degrees and with a newly-earned doctorate under his belt, the Pittsburgh native decided to continue pursuing jazz music in Chicago.
His group, "Jazz from Planet Flippo," started out around 25 years ago under the name "Flippomusic Globaljazz." Since then they have recorded five albums and performed at various venues in the Chicago area, with Flippo composing, playing keys and sometimes adding vocals.
Donn DeSanto, the bassist for the group, called Flippo a "musical genius." He said Flippo's music has a unique and unconventional sound that is difficult to describe.
"He hears things in ways that no one else does," DeSanto said.
Part of this distinctive style, Flippo said, comes from his extensive use of what he calls "dirty chords," or dissonance. He likened his music to a Gauguin painting, with earthy tones that blend some darkness into the brighter colors.
When composing, Flippo said he likes to keep a specific idea or phrase in mind to guide the music. The group's fourth album, "Tao Tunes," was actually based on the "Tao Te Ching," an ancient Chinese text.
"The words and the way the words flow make melodies come out of them," Flippo said. "Speech has ups and downs, so for things with text that's how I (compose)."
The group's most recent album, "Life on Mars," takes a different approach. It includes jazz arrangements of various rock songs, from the Beatles to David Bowie.
This concept was inspired when Flippo was playing in a Wilmette restaurant and the owner asked if he knew any Jimi Hendrix. Though Flippo said he is not naturally a "rocker," after playing around with a few rock tunes, Flippo decided to turn these arrangements into a full album.
Flippo's eclectic style has now found a home at Nevin's. Though the pub started out featuring mostly Irish music, manager Brian Davenport said these days they are "open-minded" when it comes to musical acts.
"As long as they can get a few people in the door and create a good atmosphere, we book all kinds of shows," Davenport said.
The performances are being marketed as an event for all ages, and Flippo said he hopes the arrangements of familiar tunes draw in a younger crowd. He added that musicians need to keep refreshing the genre to make sure it doesn't die out, citing jazz legend Miles Davis' adoption of hip hop styles.
DeSanto, however, said he is not worried about the future of jazz. Unlike rock, which he described as "like vanilla cake" that eventually becomes tiresome, he said he is confident that jazz will continue to evolve.
"Jazz is something that is timeless," DeSanto said. "It's not the flavor of the month."

Prelude to a Dream
Written By: Dave Flippo
Drifting leaves.. whispered sighs...
Smiling lips... closing eyes...
A faint... melody...
I have known... comes to me...
All settle gently in my mind... my heart,
As I drift from then to there and find my self
Here... 'neath the moon...
By a stream... holding fast a million dreams
Gathered from the stars that float above
An end less ocean of souls.. that dream... in the night...
And wake... yet the fleeting memories linger on...
And hope is nourished by the rays of approaching light...
To emerge... like the Spring...
Or the heart... of a child...
That will gaze at the sky... who will love...
soaring high above the green,
Raining down upon the sea of souls that ebb and flow far below...
And move through the day seeking love...
Fleeting smiles as they dream... forever more.
Bossa De Santo
Pluck the strings and the notes rise and flow around us,
Wandering through the smoke and light, into the night.
Moan the tones as they scurry and fly, whisper and cry,
Drifting in to a fluid tapestry . . . you cannot see.
As he sways, the lines in his mind flow up, down and over.
And the music seems to say: "Please come and play."
Thousand melodies all collide until he sees,
One that fits this place in time . . . a perfect rhyme.
And the people who listen lean in and join him,
Feeling the passion of his song, so free and strong.
And they smile as they think of the evenings' sweet conversation.
You better stop! ... before you fill it to the top.
Sharpen it twice ... you'll find your knife won't slice.
Too many riches ... and all the crooks develop itches.
If your ego gets too gets big ... you could loose your gig.
So retire when the work is through.
One exhalation ... relieves frustration.
And do only what you need to do.
This is the way of heaven, the way of heaven.
Based on English translations of Chapter 9 of the "Tao Te Ching" by J.H. McDonald, Jane English, Stephen Mitchell, Derek Lin and Peter Merel.
Written By: Tao Te Ching (adapted by Dave Flippo)
DISTRACTIONS - (Chapter 24 of the Tao Te Ching)
He who stands on tiptoe is not sturdy.
She who hurries can't keep up the pace.
He who seeks the spotlight dims his brilliance.
And she who is self-righteous wins disgrace.
Nothing is achieved by endless boasting.
Endurance is not gained by one who's vain.
Self importance brings about disaster.
And grabbing lots of cash can get you slain.
According to the travelers on the pathway of the heart,
Pursuing these distractions yields no good.
For none of these ambitions can true happiness impart,
So avoiding them unceasingly is undeniably understood.
USEFUL - (Chapter 11 of the Tao Te Ching)
There's thirty spokes on the hub of a wheel,
But it's the hole in the middle that is useful.
A lump of clay can be shaped into a bowl,
But it's the space deep inside that is useful.
So useful.
Cut two windows or more, then add a door,
It's the holes in the walls that are useful.
They're very useful.
It's a loose rule.
They're useful.
A block of stone can be carved into a pipe,
But it's the hole running through it that is useful.
Some planks of wood can be formed into a boat,
But it's the space up on top that is useful.
Take a bamboo shoot and make a flute,
It's the holes up and down that are useful.
So profit comes from what is there,
And usefulness from what is not.
PARADOX - (Chapter 36 of the Tao Te Ching)
That which shrinks must be full.
That which fails must first be sturdy.
That which falls must first be raised.
Before one gets, there must be giving.
The soft will melt the very hard.
The weak will win against the tyrant.
A fish should stay in waters deep.
A mighty state should hide it's weapons.
This is how the world behaves,
The simple truth of how it goes,
Two opposites create a whole,
And everywhere a paradox.
There is no hot without the cool.
Without the white there is no blackness.
One who wins should offer praise.
If there's no pain, you'll not know pleasure.
Up, down; black, white;
Torment, pleasure.
Labor, leisure; living, dying?

Q: UITableView inside UIView Monotouch I'm doing a simple app that involves a UITableView with custom Cells, I've read this tutorial

A: You would at it to a scroll view just like you would to a UIViewController or UIView.
In a UIViewController you would say
[self.view addSubview:tableView];

In order to do that with a scroll view you just create a scroll view, then create an instance of your special table view and add it to the scroll view's view, then add the scroll view to the UIViewController's View. Like so:
    UIScrollView *scrollView = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.frame];

    UITableView *tableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:scrollView.frame style:UITableViewStylePlain];

    [scrollView addSubview:tableView];

    [self.view addSubview:scrollView];

You can do whatever you want with the scroll view's frame size and other properties.
In C# you would do:
this.View.AddSubview (tableView);

And:
    var scrollView = new UIScrollView (view.Frame);

    var tableView =  new UITableView (scrollView.Frame, UITableViewStyle.Plain);

    scrollView.AddSubview (tableView);

    View.AddSubview (scrollView);

Photograph 51 is a play by Anna Ziegler. Photograph 51 opened in the West End of London in September 2015. The play focuses on the often-overlooked role of X-ray crystallographer Rosalind Franklin in the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA while working at King's College London. This play won the third STAGE International Script Competition in 2008. The title comes from Photo 51, the nickname given to an X-ray diffraction image taken by Raymond Gosling in May, 1952, under the supervision of Rosalind Franklin. The one-act play runs for 95 minutes with no intermission.

Photograph 51 was commissioned, developed, and given its world premiere under the direction of Mary Resing by Active Cultures Theatre in Maryland in 2008.  That year, it also won the 2008 STAGE (Scientists, Technologists and Artists Generating Exploration) International script competition for Best New Play.  Photograph 51 had subsequent productions at The Fountain Theatre in Los Angeles, Ensemble Studio Theatre in New York, Theater J in Washington DC, Seattle Repertory Theatre in Seattle, amongst many others, then in London's Noël Coward Theatre, in the West End, directed by Michael Grandage. The play premiered in Australia in Melbourne in 2019.

Cast
The original cast of the London play:

 Nicole Kidman as Rosalind Franklin
 Stephen Campbell Moore as Maurice Wilkins
 Edward Bennett as Francis Crick
 Will Attenborough as James Watson
 Patrick Kennedy as Donald Caspar
 Joshua Silver as Raymond Gosling

Critical response

Michael Billington of The Guardian wrote that "Nicole Kidman captures the ecstasy of scientific discovery".... "Anna Ziegler's new play asserts the contribution of 1950s chemist Rosalind Franklin to the discovery of DNA and asks: is science still sexist?."

Ben Brantley of The New York Times wrote that "When Nicole Kidman steps out of the shadows, breaking off from a wall of men, and onto the edge of the stage at the Noël Coward Theatre...her eyes beam undiluted willpower. It is a gaze that both chills and warms, radiating and demanding trust in this singularly self-possessed presence..... Yes, the script makes its concessions to romantic conventions.... Photograph 51 sustains crisp dramatic tension even when it skirts banality or expository tedium. And Ms Kidman, who turns Franklin's guardedness into as much a revelation as a concealment of character, is pretty close to perfection."

Paul Taylor of The Independent wrote that "In her compelling and subtle performance, Kidman beautifully captures the prickly defensiveness, the lonely dedication, and the suppressed emotional longings of the scientist.... Michael Grandage's superb 91-minute production expertly balances its energies as detective thriller and as interactive speculation about the hovering moments where her life could have taken a different turning."

Stephen Dalton of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that "...Ziegler's play is essentially a middling blend of straight bio-drama and high-school science lesson. Without Kidman's marquee appeal, it would have been an unusually dowdy choice for the West End. Fortunately, Kidman delivers." "[H]er performance is muted but reliably intense, hinting at wounded depths beneath Franklin's implacably chilly exterior....Grandage's production is a worthy effort, but a little passionless, inherently limited in dramatic force by its subject matter."

Dominic Cavendish of The Daily Telegraph gave the play four out of five stars, writing that "...Kidman brilliantly suggests an intelligent woman compacted of porcelain and steel. Being no-nonsense, she's often funny. An early put-down – 'I don't joke' – gets a laugh but lays bare her peculiarity too." and "Although the supporting male performances suffer from scantily written roles, Grandage directs it all with characteristically fluid aplomb, placing the action (sometimes using neat, quasi-scientific symmetries) amid a towering set by Christopher Oram that evokes the bombed-out Palladian magnificence of King's, piles of rubble lapping at arches. The effect is part bunker, part grand signifier of civilisation and the building blocks of life, and part tomb too. Neil Austin's forensic lighting, cutting through clouds of haze, sees to it that as Edward Bennett and Will Attenborough's Crick and Watson finally unravel a secret held from mankind for millennia, all hint of rosiness in Rosalind's face vanishes, a deathly pallor taking its stead. Can one image tell us almost everything? Yes, it can. A triumph."

Henry Hitchings of Evening Standard gave the play four out of five stars, writing that "This isn't an obvious star vehicle, and there's certainly plenty for those around Kidman to get their teeth into in Michael Grandage's smartly paced production. Edward Bennett and Will Attenborough combine vigorously as Francis Crick and James Watson, whose names are today synonymous with scientific sleuthing, and Stephen Campbell Moore brings just the right degree of donnish clumsiness to Maurice Wilkins, who shared their Nobel Prize in 1962 (four years after Franklin's untimely death). Only the American researcher Don Caspar (the excellent Patrick Kennedy) seems capable of treating her as a person rather than an obstacle. Still, it's Kidman's finely poised performance that underpins this vision of intensely entwined but separate lives. She captures the obsessive nature of a woman dismissed by Watson as being "sticky" and having an "acid smile", while suggesting the complexity beneath her severe façade – an inspiring mix of passion, pride and vulnerability."

Ian Shuttleworth of FT wrote that "Kidman was last seen on the London stage in David Hare's The Blue Room in 1998. This time her kit remains on, and dowdy: Franklin has eyes only for her X-ray crystallography work on DNA at King's College, London, without which Crick and Watson over in Cambridge would almost certainly not have cracked the secret of the double helix. In Michael Grandage's production, Kidman manages to animate the cold fish Franklin; her features are fluidly though not hugely mobile."

Michael Arditti of Express gave it four stars, commenting that Rosalind Franklin refused to elicit sympathy from her colleagues, and it is to Kidman's credit that she refuses to elicit it from her audience. Like her character, she focuses on the intellectual, which makes her two moments of self-revelation all the more powerful.".

The Seton Hall Pirates were back in action today against the Troy Trojans. The Pirates ended up coming out with a 78-69 victory. The Pirates improved to 7-2 on the season. With the loss the Trojans fell to 4-5 on the season. The Pirates also improved to 4-o on the year at the home.
The Pirates came out hot to start the game. Seton Hall jumped out to an early 11-2 lead on the strength of a Khadeen Carrington three pointer and the play making ability of Isaiah Whitehead. However, Troy would respond with a run of their own. With the Pirates offense slowing to a crawl, the Trojans built a lead that grew to as much as 8 points with 7:13 to go in the 1st half. From there the Pirates started to reassert themselves. By the end of the first half, the Pirates would hold a 36-30 lead.
In the 1st half the Pirates were led by Isaiah Whitehead who had 10 points. Desi Rodriguez has 9 points and 5 rebounds, and Michael Nzei chipped in 8 points and 4 boards.

In the second half the Pirates started to find their groove offensively. Khadeen Carrington kicked off the scoring in the half with a three pointer and the Pirates would never look back. The Pirates never trailed in the second half and built a lead that was as large as 15 at one point. The biggest highlight of the second half came from Desi Rodriguez. With 7:56 to go in the game, Rodriguez flew threw the air to throw down a one handed alley oop from Khadeen Carrington. This fired up the crowd and was the highlight of the night. In the end the Pirates would come away with a 78-69 win.
Isaiah Whitehead put up 20 points for Seton Hall and added 7 assists. Angel Delgado posted his second straight double double. He had 12 points and 11 rebounds. The night belonged to Desi Rodriguez though. The sophomore put up 18 points and 11 rebounds. Khadeen Carrington was 3-4 from beyond the arc, and Ismael Sanogo added 6 rebounds.

Seton Hall will finally have its home opener tomorrow against the Manhattan College Jaspers. The pitching matchup for the first game of the series will be RHP Josh Prevost for the Pirates going up against RHP Joey Rocchietti for Manhattan. Prevost has been Mr. Consistency this year for the Pirates, posting a 4-0 record with a 2.40 ERA. Prevost has struck out 26 batters and walked only 4, for a 6.5:1 strikeout to walk ratio. Seton Hall is coming off some impressive offensive performances, scoring 37 runs in the series against the James Madison Dukes. The Pirates have been led by SS D.J. Ruhlman, who has 20 hits and 13 runs scored this year. Third baseman Kyle Grimm and first baseman Sal Annunziata are right behind with 19 hits apiece. Grimm is tied with right fielder Chris Selden for most runs scored with 15. Annunziata leads in several offensive categories. He leads the team in doubles (8) and RBI's (15), and is second in total bases with 27. Tyler Boyd, Mikael-Ali Mogues, and Ruhlman are all tied for the lead in homeruns with 2 apiece.
Manhattan has gotten off to a tough start, going 2-10 through their first 12. The Pirates have gotten off to a hot start this season, going 9-3 on the road. They will hope to carry that momentum into their first game at Owen T. Carroll Field. First pitch is scheduled for 4:15. We will have a full recap of the game tomorrow night, as well as a recap of the Seton Hall vs. Providence game in the Big East tournament. Until then, Hazard Zet Forward. Go Pirates!

Magnify JS is a simple, lightweight jQuery plugin that adds a magnifying glass style zoom functionality to images. It is a useful feature to have for product images on ecommerce websites, or if you just want people to be able to zoom into an image without spawning additional overlays or popup windows that may cover your content. Magnify JS is based on [this tutorial](http://thecodeplayer.com/walkthrough/magnifying-glass-for-images-using-jquery-and-css3).

### [See a demo »](http://thdoan.github.io/magnify/demo.html)

## Getting Started

### Step 1: Link the required files

```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/magnify.css">
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="/js/jquery.magnify.js"></script>
```

You have complete control over the style and size of the lens by modifying `magnify.css`. It is recommended to load the two JavaScript files at the bottom just before the closing `</body>` tag if possible.

### Step 2: Specify the large image

The URI to the large image can be placed in the `data-magnify-src` attribute (as shown below) or passed as the `src` option when calling the `.magnify()` function.

```html
<img src="/images/product.jpg" data-magnify-src="/images/product-large.jpg">
```

If the `data-magnify-src` attribute or `src` option is not used, then Magnify JS will try to grab the large image from the parent `<a>` tag, e.g.:

```html
<a href="/images/product-large.jpg">
  <img src="/images/product.jpg">
</a>
```

### Step 3: Call the .magnify() function

Make sure this comes after the two required JavaScript files from Step 1 are loaded.

```html
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
  $('img').magnify();
});
</script>
```

Calling the `.magnify()` function with options:

```html
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
  $('img').magnify({
    speed: 200,
    src: '/images/product-large.jpg'
  });
});
</script>
```

## Options

Options can be set using data attributes or passed in an `options` JavaScript object when calling `.magnify()`. For data attributes, append the option name to "data-magnify-" (e.g., `data-magnify-src="..."`).

Name    | Type    | Default | Description
--------| ------- | ------- | -----------
`debug` | boolean | false   | Toggle activity logging in the console.
`speed` | number  | 100     | The fade-in/out animation speed in ms when the lens moves on/off the image.
`src`   | string  | ''      | The URI of the large image that will be shown in the magnifying lens.

## Installation

Choose from one of the following methods:

- `git clone https://github.com/thdoan/magnify.git`
- `bower install magnify`
- `npm install magnify`
- [Download ZIP](https://github.com/thdoan/magnify/archive/master.zip)
