The Palau de la Música Catalana (Catalan pronunciation: [pəˈɫaw ðə ɫə ˈmuzikə kətəˈɫanə], English: Palace of Catalan Music) is a concert hall in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Designed in the Catalan modernista style by the architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner, it was built between 1905 and 1908 for the Orfeó Català, a choral society founded in 1891 that was a leading force in the Catalan cultural movement that came to be known as the Renaixença (Catalan Rebirth).[1] It was inaugurated February 9, 1908.
The project was financed primarily by the society, but important financial contributions also were made by Barcelona's wealthy industrialists and bourgeoisie. The Palau won the architect an award from the Barcelona City Council in 1909, given to the best building built during the previous year. Between 1982 and 1989, the building underwent extensive restoration, remodeling, and extension under the direction of architects Oscar Tusquets and Carles Díaz.[2] In 1997, the Palau de la Música Catalana was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with Hospital de Sant Pau. Today, more than half a million people a year attend musical performances in the Palau that range from symphonic and chamber music to jazz and Cançó (Catalan song).
The Palau is located on a cramped street, the Carrer de Sant Francesc de Paula, in the section of old Barcelona known as La Ribera. It stands out there not only because it is such an exuberant building but also because the buildings that surround it are rather dull. Most of the other prominent modernista buildings, those designed by Antoni Gaudí, for example, are located in the chic 19th-century extension of the city known as the Eixample.
The design of the Palau is typical of Catalan modernism in that curves predominate over straight lines, dynamic shapes are preferred over static forms, and rich decoration that emphasizes floral and other organic motifs is used extensively. In contrast to many other buildings built in the modernisme style, however, it must also be said that the design of the Palau is eminently rational. It pays strict attention to function and makes full use of the most up-to-date materials and technologies available at the beginning of the 20th century (e.g., steel framing). As Benton (1986, 58) has pointed out, "To eyes unaccustomed to the architecture of Barcelona, the impression of a riot of ornament lacking any logic or control seems overwhelming. And yet the building follows exactly the exhortations of the [architectural] rationalists. The structure, in brick and iron, is clearly expressed." Actually, its walls are the first example of curtain wall structures.
The wealthy citizens of Barcelona, who were becoming ever more sympathetic to the Renaixença at the time the Palau was built, asked its architect for building materials and techniques that symbolized the Catalan character. In response, he commissioned and gave great creative freedom to a variety of local artisans and craftsmen to produce the fabulous ornamentation, sculpture, and decorative structural elements for which the Palau is famous.
The rich decoration of the façade of the Palau, which incorporates elements from many sources, including traditional Spanish and Arabic architecture, is successfully married with the building's structure. The exposed red brick and iron, the mosaics, the stained glass, and the glazed tiles were chosen and situated to give a feeling of openness and transparency. Even Miguel Blay's massive sculptural group symbolizing Catalan music on the corner of the building does not impede the view into or out from the interior (see photograph). As Carandell and co-authors (2006, 20) have pointed out, in the Palau "the house as a defense and protected inner space has ceased to exist."
Two colonnades enjoy a commanding position on the second-level balcony of the main façade. Each column is covered uniquely with multicolored glazed tile pieces in mostly floral designs and is capped with a candelabrum that at night blazes with light (see photograph). Above the columns are large busts of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Ludwig van Beethoven on the main façade and Richard Wagner on the side. The top of the main façade is graced by a large allegoric mosaic by Lluís Bru that represents the members of the Orfeó Català, but it is impossible to see it clearly from the narrow street below.
Originally, guests entered the Palau from the street through two arches supported by thick pillars that opened into the vestibule. The former ticket windows, which are located in the center pillar, are beautiful concentric arches adorned with floral mosaics of various materials created by Lluís Bru.
Vestibule, staircases, and foyer[edit]
The ceiling of the vestibule is decorated with glazed ceramic moldings that are arranged in the shape of stars. From the vestibule, on the left and right, grand marble staircases ascend from between crowned lamps on columns to bring visitors to the second floor. The balustrades of the staircases, also marble, are supported by unusual transparent yellow glass balusters. The underside of the staircases is covered with tiles that form gleaming canopies on either side of the vestibule.
Today, guests generally enter the Palau through the foyer, which was created in the renovations of Tusquets and Díaz from what originally were the headquarters of the Orfeó Català. The large space of the foyer is more soberly decorated than the rest of the Palau, but the wide exposed brick arches with their marvelous glazed green, pink, and yellow ceramic flowers recapitulate the ornamentation of the rest of building. The foyer features a large counter where tapas and beverages can be served to concert-goers or visitors who are touring the building. The bar is situated between massive pillars of brick and is illuminated from behind by expansive stained-glass panes that are suspended above it. A glass case in the foyer displays the Orfeó Català's banner, which bears its crest embroidered on fabric in the modernisme style.
Lluís Millet hall[edit]
The Lluís Millet hall is a salon located on the second floor of the Palau that is named after one of the founders of the Orfeó Català. The hall is a popular gathering place for concert-goers and also serves as a teaching area for visitors touring the building. From floor to ceiling the hall is two stories high and affords views of the intricate mosaics on the two rows of columns outside its windows that are much better than those available from the street.
It is ornated by several bronze busts of musicians related to the Palau: Lluís Millet and Amadeu Vives (Orfeó Català founders), Pablo Casals, Eduard Toldrà (founder and first conductor of the Orquestra Municipal de Barcelona, Just Cabot (Orfeó Català president) and pianist Rosa Sabater.
Concert hall[edit]
- The concert hall is one of the most beautiful in the world (...) without exaggeration. It is one of its most important architectural treasures. Its pace, simple, complex, mystical and paradoxical, defies accurate description.
-David Mackay
(Quoted in Carandell et al. 2006, 62)
The concert hall of the Palau, which seats about 2,200 people, is the only auditorium in Europe that is illuminated during daylight hours entirely by natural light. The walls on two sides consist primarily of stained-glass panes set in magnificent arches, and overhead is an enormous skylight of stained glass designed by Antoni Rigalt whose centerpiece is an inverted dome in shades of gold surrounded by blue that suggests the sun and the sky.
The architectural decoration in the concert hall is a masterpiece of creativity and imagination, yet everything has been carefully considered for its utility in the presentation of music. The hall is not a theater, because the massive sculptures flanking the stage make the use of scenery nearly impossible. Likewise, even though a noble pipe organ graces the apse-like area above and behind the stage, the hall is not a church.
The dominant theme in the sumptuous sculptural decor of the concert hall is choral music, something that might be expected in an auditorium commissioned by a choral society. A choir of young women surrounds the "sun" in the stained-glass skylight, and a bust of Anselm Clavé, a famous choir director who was instrumental in reviving Catalan folk songs, is situated on the left side of the stage, under a stone tree. Seated beneath this statue are sculpted girls singing the Catalan song Les Flors de Maig (The Flowers of May).
The whole arch over the front of the stage was sculpted by Dídac Masana and Pablo Gargallo. On the right side is depicted the ride of the valkyries in Wagner's opera Die Walküre (The Valkyries), an opera in which the female choir sings with great musical power. Under the valkyries and among two Doric columns—symbol of classical art—is a bust of Beethoven that many[who?] think was placed there in honor of the beautiful choral composition in Beethoven's Ninth Symphony known as the Ode to Joy. So, the arch represents folk music on the left and classical music on the right, both united at the top of the arch.
In a semicircle on the sides of the back of the stage are the figures of 18 young women popularly known as the muses (although there are only nine muses in Greek mythology). The monotone upper bodies of the women protrude from the wall and their lower bodies are depicted by colorful mosaics that form part of the wall. Each of the women is playing a different musical instrument, and each is wearing a different skirt, blouse, and headdress of elaborate design. In the early days of the Palau, many critics found these figures unsettling or even eerie[citation needed], but today they are widely regarded as perhaps the best sculptural work in the concert hall[by whom?]. The upper bodies were sculpted by Eusebi Arnau, and the mosaic work of their lower bodies was created by Lluís Bru.
The sculptures of winged horses that enjoy a commanding position in the upper balcony are said[by whom?] to honor Pegasus, the horse of Greek mythology that is the symbol of high-flying imagination. Pegasus was ridden by the muses when called by their father Zeus to be by his side on Mount Olympus.
Remodeling and extension[edit]
Between 1982 and 1989 parts of the building were restored to their original state, technically upgraded and expanded to allow additional uses. The new work did not compromise the decorative or structural integrity of the original building. Stone, brick, iron, glass, and ceramics were used in the same way that Domènech i Montaner used them. One of the most important expansions is the adjoining building of six stories that houses dressing rooms, a library, and an archive.
From 2006 to 2008 some further restoration was carried out: the lantern on the top of the tower on the corner of the building was reinstalled, as were some ornamental features of the façade.
Petit Palau[edit]
Opened in 2004, the Petit Palau is 11 metres below the square that was created in the work of 1982-1989 between the Palau and the neighbouring church. It has a seating capacity of 538 people and is equipped with variable acoustics for different types of music and spoken word. It also possesses the latest in audiovisual technology. Like the other additions, it was designed in the spirit of Domènech i Montaner. It is light and transparent like the Palau proper, but at the same time it is modern in its great flexibility for different cultural, social, and business uses.
Artistic history[edit]
From the opening of the Palau de la Música Catalana in 1908 special attention was given to the promotion of local composers and artists. After World War I the Orquestra Pau Casals performed at the Palau, and among composers featured gave presentations of the music of Enrique Granados from 1921 onwards.[3]
Many of the world's best soloists and singers have visited the Palau de la Música Catalana, among them: Andrés Segovia, Lela Tsurtsumia, Pablo Casals, Jacques Thibaud, Alfred Cortot, Eugène Ysaÿe, Albert Schweitzer, Enric Granados, Blanche Selva, Wilhelm Backhaus, Emil Sauer, Wanda Landowska, Clara Haskil, Fritz Kreisler, Manuel Quiroga, Arthur Rubinstein, Claudio Arrau, Yehudi Menuhin, Mstislav Rostropovich, Julian Lloyd Webber, Alicia de Larrocha, Victòria dels Àngels, Montserrat Caballé, Josep Carreras, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Barbara Hendricks, Alfred Brendel, Wilhelm Kempff, Sviatoslav Richter, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Maurizio Pollini, Maria João Pires, Jean-Pierre Rampal, Jessye Norman, and Daniel Barenboim.
Many great orchestras and conductors have played at the auditorium, including the Berliner Philharmoniker with Richard Strauss, Herbert von Karajan, Claudio Abbado and Mariss Jansons; the Wiener Philharmoniker, with Carl Schuricht, Karl Böhm, Zubin Mehta and Leonard Bernstein; the Amsterdam Concertgebouw with Eugen Jochum, Antal Doráti and Mariss Jansons;the Israel Philharmonic with Zubin Mehta; the Staatskapelle Berlin; the Chicago Symphony with Daniel Barenboim, the New York Philharmonic with Kurt Masur; the Münchner Philharmoniker with Sergiu Celibidache; the Cleveland Orchestra with Lorin Maazel; the Philharmonia Orchestra with Carlo Maria Giulini; and Concentus Musicus Wien with Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Václav Neumann, Jordi Savall, and Philippe Herreweghe.
Also performing at the Palau have been choirs, such as Capella Sistina di Roma, Orfeón Donostiarra, Escolania de Montserrat, and the Wiener Sängerknaben. From 1920 to 1936, the Orquestra Pau Casals was resident under the direction of Pablo Casals (sometimes known by his Catalan name, Pau Casals), Richard Strauss, Vincent d'Indy, Igor Stravinsky, Arnold Schönberg, Anton Webern, Arthur Honegger, Manuel de Falla, and Eugène Ysaÿe, among others. For years, the resident orchestra at the Palau has been the Orquestra Simfònica de Barcelona.
Important composers have performed or conducted their own works, including Enric Granados, Richard Strauss, Maurice Ravel, Sergei Prokofiev, Igor Stravinsky, Manuel de Falla, Arnold Schönberg, Sergei Rachmaninov, Anton Webern, Roberto Gerhard, Georges Enescu, Darius Milhaud, Francis Poulenc, Arthur Honegger, Frederic Mompou, Krzysztof Penderecki, Witold Lutosławski, and Pierre Boulez.
Other artists, actors, dancers, jazz soloists, popular singers, and bands have performed at the Palau: Lela Tsurtsumia, Vittorio Gassman, Maurice Béjart, Ángel Corella, Charles Aznavour, Duke Ellington, Tete Montoliu, Oscar Peterson, Woody Allen, Keith Jarret, Ella Fitzgerald, Michel Camilo, Tamara Rojo, Paco de Lucía or Bebo Valdés, Jorge Drexler, Cassandra Wilson, Vicente Amigo, Anoushka Shankar, Norah Jones and Juanes
The Palau became an emblematic theater for Catalan singers of the Nova Cançó (New Song, or Catalan popular song from the 1960s). Singing at the Palau was a kind of consecration for a singer. For example, Raimon, Joan Manuel Serrat, Maria del Mar Bonet, and Lluís Llach have sung there.
For some years, plays were performed there. Companies such as the Teatre Experimental Català, Companyia Adrià Gual or Agrupació Dramàtica de Barcelona (1955–1963) performed their shows at the Palau.

Is Zofran really safe?
Comments (10)
I was just prescribed Zofran and I have to say I could not function for the last few weeks... Today is my first full day on it and its a miracle! I asked my doctor and she said it is completely safe. I know how you feel but I knew that without the help of Zofran I wasnt able to take in the nutrients and stay hydrated for my little one. But thats just me!

Molly Winifred due 3/30/2014!!
Take it!! Your doc wouldn't recomend something if it wasn't safe for you and the baby! I am not as sick this time, but when I am having realy bad bouts I will take it! It is worse for you not to take it.

My doctor prescribed it for me too. It works well, but I also had some hesitation and guilt. Let's just say I had to stay home from work today after not taking it for the past 24 hours. So, I'm starting back on it. I need to function and nourish this baby!
I was on Zofran when pg w/ DD and I got started on it this past Sunday. I gotta say, thank GOD for this medication because I wouldn't be able to even get out of bed if it wasn't for this medication. I say you should look into how you feel with and without it and decide for yourself if you want to take it or not.

If you only have 350$ for a tablet, you can only get a 16GB Wi-Fi iPad mini or something from a competitor. The full-sized iPad isn't even an option. |

I returned my refurbed ipad 3 and got the ipad 4 since its twice the speed of every ipad out there. I wouldn't touch the ipad mini, to me its not worth getting such old tech and a cr@ppy screen. Imagine how many ipad minis Apple can sell if it had an A6 with Retina, it'll easily be triple the amount.

The fact that people might like features you don't doesn't make them wrong. The Nexus 7/10 are not better/worse than the iPad Mini/iPad 4. They are alternate options with features that make them more attractive to some. It is difficult to buy a new device these days which is too slow. It's just a matter of how much excess speed one device has compared to another, and, aside from fanboys on either side, most people really don't care at all about specs except when a device is sorely lacking in one or more areas.

The sales figures suggest that Apple made a wise decision with features and pricing. Could they have sold it for less or added a better screen? Sure. Will they make the most profit with the decisions they made this time around? Likely. The overwhelming majority of consumers in the market for a small tablet will love the iPad Mini. They'd love a better display or lower price even more, but they'll still love the device as-is. ---------- They could return it if they don't like it, and Apple makes very few bad products, so they knew they'd be likely to enjoy it.

Because people are willing to buy Apple items sight unseen. It doesn't matter the specs or the usability, they will buy the item no matter what. For this reason, you need to be careful extrapolating numbers sold this weekend to future sales. There's always going to be a huge initial spike from impulse buyers. But it's word-of-mouth and personal experiences that are going to drive (or not drive) sales from here on out.

The mini I ordered for my wife arrived Saturday, rather than Friday (UPS truck broke down!).
I have to say, I'm quite surprised and impressed with it. The size is perfect for her to throw in her purse, and although it lacks a retina display, it still looks fantastic. Personally, I don't think the average user really cares (and few of those on this board are average users). She will get a great deal of mileage out of it. Don't knock the mini until you try it. |

Until Google, Amazon, Microsoft, or Barnes & Noble release specific sales figures that show any meaningful numbers, Apple is by far and away #1 in the tablet space.
I don't doubt that Amazon has sold a million or two Kindle Fires, but they certainly didn't sell that many in a single weekend. Ditto for Google, Microsoft, and B&N. Outlandish analyst and MacRumors forum posters' predictions aside, 3 million of anything with a 43% margin in a matter of days can only be considered a roaring success. My guess is that sales of LTE-enabled iPads will be significant as well. Just wait until we get into the holiday shopping season. iPad mini will be the #1 sought-after gift. Edit: I forgot Microsoft was even in the game and had to edit to include them in the above thoughts. Oops... Last edited by Patriot24; Nov 5, 2012 at 09:16 AM. |

I've tried it. Yesterday morning for about 30 minutes at the Apple Store and the screen is far from fantastic. And I would consider my opinion more objective considering I don't own one. Owners of a new product are much less likely to be critical of a product they just spend > $300 on.

After a weekend with the Mini I "get it" Apple is positioning, price and features. At $329 they have wiggle room to add a Retina Display and A6x in the next update which would make it hands down the best tablet in the market at ANY price. Why you might ask would they release it and the 4th Gen iPad at the same time while keeping the Mini effectively gimped with the display and processor? <ass production of the A6x now in the 4th Gen will bring the price down to acceptable levels so that the Mini can adopt it in the next refresh. If Apple had released it in March/April they would not have enough time to get the price low enough for Mini 2nd Gen, I would not be surprised if we saw a Mini Refresh mid 2013.

heh heh, don't take that 43% gross margin number too seriously. It is a BOM analysis. It does not account for manufacturer profit, shipping cost (fly Ipad from China to here is expensive.. Just think how much do we need to pay fedex or ups to ship anything. Apple will get discount but still expensive), part spoilage (i.e. broken part as part of the manufacturing), rework cost (i.e. QA catch some problem and need to take the device apart and replace the broken part), marketing cost, warranty cost and design cost (those engineer in Silicon valley cost a lot of money too.. And who is paying for the A5 design work?). Net profit for a base mini would be lucky to in the high single digit. The high end model will do much better. The gross margin in 1Q13 will also do much better as Apple can ship the device by sea instead of plane and the manufacturing process become more efficient. |

I do agree with other posters that the current price point is forward-looking to give them room when a faster chip and retina display come in the next release. |

General wear and tear along with spills and drips can all lead to carpet spots and stains. Cleaning these small areas is simple to do with a few easy steps. To keep the spot from looking worn or damaged, follow these guidelines when cleaning carpet spots and stains.
Table of Contents:
You Will Need:
- Water
- Bucket or spray bottle (depending on the size of the stain)
- Soft cloths or paper towels
- Vacuum
- Cleaning product appropriate for the stain type
Steps to Clean the Spots:
- Begin by removing any solids or excess spill from the surface of the carpet.
- Moisten the area with a small amount of water. Unless you are sure it will not affect the stain, use cool water rather than hot. If the area is large, fill a bucket with water and dab it on with a wet cloth. If the area is small, a spray bottle works well.
- Apply the appropriate cleaning/stain removal product to the spot.
- Use a clean, soft cloth or paper towel to blot the area by pressing gently on the stained area. As you do so, you will see the stain transfer onto the cloth.
- Turn the cloth frequently to keep so you are always working with a clean section of the cloth.
- Reapply the stain remover and water as needed. Continue to blot them away until the stain is removed.
- Once the stain is gone, rinse the area by spraying it with clean water and blotting it away.
- Press clean, dry cloths over the area to dry. Apply consistent pressure until move of the moisture is absorbed from the carpet fibers.
- Allow the area to air dry completely.
- If the texture of the cleaned area appears different after cleaning, vacuum it to restore the original look.
Additional Tips and Advice
- When selecting stain removers, take into consideration the type of carpeting and the carpet color.
- Avoid scrubbing or rubbing the carpet while cleaning. This can push the stain further into the carpet fibers. The scrubbing motion can also damage the fibers which will make the area stand out even after the stain is removed.

The third day of the Atlantic Coast Conference Baseball Tournament was thrilling from start to finish as clubs fought for a spot in the championship game through hotly competitive pool play.
North Carolina State and the University of Miami kicked off the action in the Day 3 opener. The Wolfpack's 7-1 win eliminated Clemson from championship contention. The Tigers would then blow what looked to be an easy win in the nightcap, surrendering five runs in the ninth inning to top-seeded North Carolina before going on to lose 12-7 in 14 innings.
Durham hasn't disappointed thus far in this high-stakes display on the diamond, and it seems destined to continue the excitement on Saturday.
Let's take a look at how Friday's Day 3 action unfolded, first with a breakdown of what transpired between the Wolfpack and Hurricanes.
Note: All statistics and information, unless otherwise indicated, are courtesy of TheACC.com.
North Carolina State Dominates Miami, 7-1
Team | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | R | H | E |
NC State | 0 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 7 | 11 | 1 |
Miami (FL) | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
The Wolfpack got off to a fast start with a four-run second inning to hand the Hurricanes their second blowout loss in as many days.
It was a two-out rally that seemed so improbable, especially with the minimal contact NC State was getting off of Miami starting pitcher Chris Diaz.
After DH Jake Armstrong dove headfirst into first base for an RBI infield single and a throwing error allowed another run to come in, NC State baseball's official Twitter page documented what transpired:
#Turner knocks one up the middle, Lopez gets to it, but #BurnerTurner dives into first for a two-RBI single! #Pack9 up 4-0
— NC State Baseball (@NCStateBaseball) May 24, 2013
Leadoff-hitting shortstop Trea Turner remarkably dove into first himself and was also called safe. That stretched the lead to a commanding 4-0 as the Wolfpack truly stuck together and played small ball to succeed.
CBS Sports' Will Brinson humorously commented on the ineffectiveness of the Hurricanes' jittery, indecisive infield:
NC State has 4 runs and the ball hasn't left the infield yet. Miami's infield collectively pooping pants today.
— Will Brinson (@WillBrinson) May 24, 2013
Will NC State win the ACC Championship?
Turner finished 3-for-5 with two runs knocked in, but left fielder Bryan Adametz provided key production from the No. 7 spot in the order.
Adametz had three hits of his own in five appearances, socking an RBI single in the seventh and a run-scoring double in the ninth. He also scored a run himself to lead the relatively weak but effective offensive charge for NC State.
The Hurricanes charged back with a run in the bottom of the third, but that was bested by NC State, who scored once in the fifth and sixth, thwarting any comeback chance.
Southpaw sophomore Diaz was truly a victim of a lot of bad breaks and a lack of run support. Though his outing didn't look pretty in the box score, it did take him a ridiculous amount of pitches due to the lackluster play of the defense behind him, per ACC Baseball:
Final line on Miami's Chris Diaz: 115 pitches to 31 batters over 6IP. Gave up 8 hits, 6 runs (3 earned), 4 walks and had 5 Ks #ACCBASE
— ACC Baseball (@ACCBaseball) May 24, 2013
Wolfpack starter Logan Jernigan had more significant control issues of his own, walking six hitters in just four innings of work—including Miami first baseman Brad Fieger with the bases loaded, which plated the Hurricanes' only run.
The next time Jernigan faced that type of jam with the sacks full, he struck out Fieger looking for the first out and emerged ultimately unscathed to keep NC State on top to stay.
With this latest triumph, the Wolfpack have now won 26 of their last 29 games to improve their record to 44-13 on the season. Meanwhile, Miami will have to feel empty with all the runners it left on base and producing just one run in two ACC contests.
North Carolina, who dominated the Hurricanes 10-0 in its last outing, will square off with the Wolfpack to determine one of the participants in the championship showdown.
Virginia Tech Outlasts Georgia Tech, 3-2
Team | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | R | H | E |
Georgia Tech | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 7 | 0 |
Virginia Tech | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 10 |
1 |
Behind more dominant pitching, Virginia Tech won for the third time in as many days, and by the score of 3-2 for the second straight day.
The weather was nice as play began on Friday afternoon and both teams certainly had plenty to play for with Pool B on the line (via Jeff Gravley):
Not a bad view for a live shot at the @accbaseball tournament at the DBAP. twitter.com/jgravleyWRAL/s…
— Jeff Gravley (@jgravleyWRAL) May 24, 2013
The action began a little after 3 p.m. ET and took a little while to get going before the defending champion Yellow Jackets took advantage of a throwing error from Virginia Tech in the top of the third inning to open up the scoring, moving ahead 1-0.
In the bottom of the fourth inning, Virginia Tech junior Chad Pinder smashed his third home run of the tournament to tie the game and give the Hokies some life after a slow start as pointed out by ACC Baseball on Twitter:
TIE GAME! Chad Pinder knocks his 3rd HR of the Championship (7th of the season) to right and we're knotted at 1-1 w/ 1 out in B-4th #ACCBASE
— ACC Baseball (@ACCBaseball) May 24, 2013
Georgia Tech would battle back in the fifth inning, pulling ahead for the second time in the game thanks to a walk that put the Yellow Jackets in scoring position. Thomas Smith would go on to score from third base to give his squad a narrow lead.
Soon after, though, the Hokies would come right back with some offense of their own. Sophomore Brendon Hayden ignited Virginia Tech with a double to left field. A few plays later Alex Perez singled to center and Hayden was crossing home plate to tie the game at 2-2.
Following a scoreless sixth inning, the Hokies' bats came to life in the seventh, as it was Chad Pinder making yet another pivotal play, hitting a fly ball to center that allowed Kyle Wernicki to tag up and score the go-ahead run for Virginia Tech (via ACC Baseball):
Pinder sends a ball to center field. Wernicki tags and crosses the plate to give VT a 3-2 lead. Man on 1b & 2 outs in B-7 #ACCBASE
— ACC Baseball (@ACCBaseball) May 24, 2013
Junior pitcher Devin Burke was an absolute stud for the Hokies on Friday, striking out four and surrendered just one earned run in nearly eight innings of work. He was replaced by senior Clark Labitan, who picked up the final four outs needed for Virginia Tech.
Here's a look at Burke's final numbers on Friday (via ACC Baseball):
Final line on VT's SP Burke: 32 batters faced over 7.2IP allowing 7 hits, 2 runs (1 earned), 2 walks, 1 HBP and 4 Ks #ACCBASE
— ACC Baseball (@ACCBaseball) May 24, 2013
The victory moves Virginia Tech to 3-0 for the tournament and ensures the Hokies a berth in Sunday's championship game (via Georgia Tech Baseball):
A strikeout ends it. Hokies beat the Jackets, 3-2, and will advance to ACC title game. #GoJackets #ACCBase
— GeorgiaTech Baseball (@GT_Baseball) May 24, 2013
Georgia Tech finishes 1-2 for the championship, which means the Yellow Jackets are eliminated and that there will be a new ACC champion crowned this weekend.
North Carolina Storms Back to Beat Clemson, 12-7
Team | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | R | H | E |
North Carolina | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 12 | 19 | 3 |
Clemson | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 7 | 11 |
0 |
North Carolina looked to be headed for its first loss of the tournament on Friday night, trailing 7-2 in the ninth inning before exploding for five runs, tying Clemson and going on to win by an impressive margin in 14 innings.
The Tar Heels took an early 1-0 lead after a pair of walks put junior Chaz Frank in scoring position. He would score a few plays later following a Cody Stubbs' single to center field.
After two scoreless innings, Clemson tied the game at one run apiece with Shane Kennedy hitting a single to get on base, stealing second and then advancing to third on a wild pitch before scoring off a Tyler Krieger single (via ACC Baseball):
TIE GAME! Krieger singles in Kennedy from 3rd and we're knotted at 1-1. Man on 1b & 2 outs with McGibbon at the plate #ACCBASE
— ACC Baseball (@ACCBaseball) May 25, 2013
In another pivotal moment in the bottom of the fifth inning, freshman Steven Duggar made a clutch play, tripling to center field with two outs to score two runners and give Clemson a 3-1 lead (via ACC Baseball):
With 2 outs and Clemson runners on 2b & 3b Duggar sends a ball to CF scoring Brittle & Gibson. Tigers pull ahead 3-1 #ACCBASE
— ACC Baseball (@ACCBaseball) May 25, 2013
Freshman Skye Bolt would help North Carolina narrow the gap in the top of the sixth inning when, doubling to right field and eventually scoring after two singles from Michael Russell and Brian Holberton.
Unfortunately, the Tigers came right back in the bottom of the inning, scoring two more runs to increase their lead to three runs.
Shane Kennedy was a key part of Clemson's run, singling to left field to ignite the Tigers' bats.
After a scoreless seventh inning, Clemson put North Carolina in a deep hole heading into the final inning, scoring two more runs thanks to a pair of errors from the Tar Heels.
But with their backs against the wall in the top of the ninth, the Tar Heels came to life, scoring five runs to tie the game 7-7. Brian Holberton was the key player, smashing a three-run homer with two outs to pull North Carolina even (via ACC Baseball):
HR HOLBERTON! TIE GAME! He hits a 3-run blast to pull us even at 7-7 here in the T-9th #ACCBASE
— ACC Baseball (@ACCBaseball) May 25, 2013
Both teams' bats went cold in extra innings however, as neither side could break the deadlock as the clock approached 12 a.m. ET (via ACC Baseball):
Skye Bolt sends one sky high but Slaton makes the catch. Still 7-7 mid-13. Good number of fans still here as we approach midnight #ACCBASE
— ACC Baseball (@ACCBaseball) May 25, 2013
As the game headed into the 14th inning it officially became the longest ever between the two teams (via Clemson Baseball):
This is now the longest Clemson-North Carolina game in two's history.
— Clemson Baseball (@CUTigerBaseball) May 25, 2013
In the top of the 14th inning, Cody Stubbs singled to center field and suddenly the floodgates opened for the Tar Heels, who went on to put up five runs in the inning.
Freshman Mason McCullough closed it out on the mound for the Tar Heels, who moved to 2-0 in Pool A with the win. Clemson remains winless in the Pool (via ACC Baseball):
After 5 hours and 16 minutes, that's the game. McCullough works a perfect B-14th and UNC earns the 12-7 marathon win over Clemson #ACCBASE
— ACC Baseball (@ACCBaseball) May 25, 2013
Freshman pitcher Benton Moss went five and one-third innings for North Carolina to start the game before being replaced on the mound. The first-year right-hander struck out six but allowed eight hits and five earned runs. Despite his lackluster performance, North Carolina was able to get the win. But the Heels can't afford another poor start on Saturday if they hope to play for the title on Sunday.
Clemson will take on Miami Saturday afternoon at 3 p.m. ET while the top-seeded Tar Heels will take on in-state rival NC State in the day's final matchup with the winner earning a berth in Sunday's championship game.

" Brand: Danone / Type: Yoghurts "
Your dooyooMiles Miles
While browsing in Tesco's I came across Activia Single pot yogurts. I normally but Muller Lights, but the offer on them was not very good, and the Activia pots were on buy one get one free so you got two large pots of yogurt for 68p. I bought one each of the cherry and raspberry flavoured ones to try, and I ate the cherry one first. The Yogurt is similar in shape and size to a Muller Light, but comes in the green trade mark pot of Activa. On the lid there is a picture of juicy cherries, with the Activia logo, and that it contains Bifidas Actiregularis to help reduce digestive discomfort - i.e. to keep you regular and beat the bloat! It also states it is fat free (well virtually, anyway!)Nutritional info:Calories: 95Protein: 15.7gCarbs: 15.7g (15.2g Sugar)Fat: 0.2g (Trace saturates)Fibre: 1.5gSodium: 0.17gCalcium: 264mg (33% of RDA)Contains milk - not suitable for nut allergy sufferersWhen you open the lid you get the sweet cherry aroma, and you can see large red chunks of real cherry pieces in a thick light pink yogurt. On tasting, this yogurt is sweet without being overly so, and has a quite creamy consistency despite being made with semi skimmed milk. It tastes a lot more luxurious than it actually is. The real chunks of cherries adds to the sweetness of the yogurt with natural sugar, and I think reduces the amount of artificial sweetner needed, so there is less of a nasty aftertaste that is common in low fat sweet foods. I find this single pot yogurt size quite filling, as if I bought the 4 pack I would probably find myself eating two! This is a really good late evening snack for me, as once I put my little man to bed the munchies monster normally attacks me! I am following the slimming world diet at the moment, and these yogurts are syn free on the plan. I like my yogurts ice cold, and I am going to try putting one in the freezer to see if it goes like ice cream! In terms of the claims to help digestive transit, I can't say I have noticed any difference - my belly is smaller but can't really say if that is due to a yogurt or the diet. However, for a sweet treat with very little fat or calories, it is probably worth a try if you suffer in that area!I think for 68p they are quite expensive for a single yogurt, but would definitely stock up on these when they are on offer!

Wow! What an impressive operation supporters of President Obama's reelection put together in El Dorado Hills. A group of extremely dedicated volunteers has been working a call center there since July. Were they calling California voters? Not in this blue state. They were calling voters in swing states across the country.

The group's leaders told staff writer Mike Roberts that 67 volunteers made 10,000 calls on Election Day, including 3,600 to Ohio Democrats.
The group totaled 340 and it worked with a bank of 40 phones.
The Obama campaign provided a Web-based list of names and phone numbers, calling scripts and strategies. The campaign also produced a "predictive dialing system" that "essentially guaranteed a conversation rather than just hoping someone picks up the phone."
On Election Day the volunteers began calling back East at 6 a.m. Pacific Time and worked until the polls closed in Nevada at 7 p.m. Pacific Time.
Ten thousand calls? That's was invaluable. How many other volunteer groups were making 10,000 calls on Election Day for the Obama campaign?
One of the more fascinating tidbits that came from an Election Night TV analyst was the fact that Obama raised money and funded continued operation of campaign offices in Ohio between 2008 and 2012. They never shut down.
The Republicans are wasting their time trying to decide what issues or candidates they need to reexamine. The No. 1 thing they should be looking at is permanent campaign offices in Ohio and look to El Dorado Hills for a model of how to get out the vote by magnifying the value of volunteers from around the country. That's where Obama won — on the ground game.

Brandon Mroz's Quad Video and ISU's YouTube Channel highlight impact internet media is having on figure skating Brandon Mroz's digitally recorded and first documented quad Lutz is currently the 2nd most watched video at U.S. Figure Skating's YouTube channel. Additionally, thousands of skating fans around the world are subscribing to the new ISU JGP YouTube Channel to view the competitive programs of the international competitors on this season's Junior Grand Prix for the first time. What must be plain to skating officials around the globe now is "the whole world wants to see these videos, both competitive and non-competitive." The lesson to be learned? The future of telecast figure skating must include a full use of internet components to maximize the sport's presentation. -continued-
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't his quad on an online newspaper in Chicago (I believe) so to see it they would have clicked to the ISU's posting. That may be why it's up there in numbers. I hope the ISU puts all the skaters up there, I would love to see more.
The video was posted to the web by his coach via the U.S. Figure Skating YouTube site and it was linked to from Philip Hersh's blog on the Chicago Tribune site. The video was not an ISU posting.
I'm sorry I should have said USFS not ISU. I forgot I saw it on Hersh's Blog, that's what took me to youtube, and many others I'm guessing.

Estimated Enrollment: | 15 |
Study Start Date: | April 2009 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | April 2012 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | April 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Drug: Milatuzumab
The aim of this study is to determine whether the anti-CD74 monoclonal antibody Milatuzumab provides benefit to subjects with CLL in advanced stage or progressive disease. The primary objectives of this study are to assess response rate to the agent, as well as the safety in CLL, using different doses: Overall response (OR), complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) will be determinate according to the NCI criteria.
The secondary objectives are to determine: duration of response, time to progression, overall survival, and the range of doses in which efficacy is seen and MTD not reached.
This study will be done in parallel with other phase I-II studies conducted by Immunomedics.
The study design will take into account that the high levels of circulating CD74expressing cells in CLL may affect both the acute (although probably not long term) toxicity and the efficacy of the study medication. This could translate to a different MTD and a different cumulative dose of Milatuzumab, needed to achieve response.(either a higher dose or longer treatment period.).
The study will be divided into two treatment phases. In the first phase we aim to address whether the dose of 120 mg/m2 is effective in CLL, and also if it is safe. In the second phase we will assess the safety and possible efficacy of higher doses, in those patients that did not achieve a significant response in the first phase. This will be done by gradual dose escalations, not to exceed 600 mg, or the MTD reached in other studies.
In addition, the study will aim at gaining further understanding of the effect of Milatuzumab on the biological in-vitro function of CLL cells.
