Must it be seven years of feast and seven of famine?
Over the last 40 years, the New York real estate market has behaved somewhat like the old Biblical quotation in that it has many factors similar to the annual harvest of the crops.
Office and retail space is a relatively inflexible commodity, which constantly has to exist in a supply and demand equation. Over time, demand has proven to be a far more flexible item than the supply of bricks and mortar.
New York has experienced a boom in demand from all sectors in the great economic expansion of the past decade. All existing industries have prospered and added to this is the unparalleled introduction of new media and Internet businesses. The real estate industry has worked inventively to create new space in areas never before considered for modem office facilities, as well as new retail developments in areas heretofore considered marginal.
Having been a part of the New York real estate scene during all this time, I believe that there has been a fundamental growth in [the, size of the city's economy that will not be relinquished. However, the demand side of the business is cyclical, and at some point there will be a need for business cutbacks and the disposal of space by firms that can no longer afford the large amount of office space that they have under lease. This sudden supply of sublease space has always been the force that starts a downturn in our real estate market.
Leone J. Peters of Cushman & Wakefield decades ago gave basic training to all his young brokers and salespeople: "A hot market is two spaces and three tenants and a cold market is just the opposite."
In the early 1960's, a pending change in the zoning law caused a rush to bring new supply to the market that a soft business environment could not absorb. In the mid 1970's likewise, a glut of new buildings hit the market as business demand weakened, causing difficulty for many builders and foreclosure for a few. During the early 1980's, a booming real estate market was caused largely by the failure to add any new class "A" supply for many years. Then the sudden production of a large new office space supply and a new federal tax code led to the worst debacle in real estate in New York that most of us can remember, causing a massive collapse of the stability of the industry through the early 1990's.
While it now appears to be the seventh year since the nadir of commercial market rates and leasing conditions, there appears to be nothing on the horizon to indicate an imminent collapse. Business is still strong in New York and the addition of new inventory is difficult, thus still trailing demand. In 1993, there was a 17% vacancy rate in the nation's largest office space market. Today, there is an immediate unfilled demand for several million sf with rates over $50 per sf.
Nonetheless, it is a commodity business where value is affected by only three factors: supply, demand, and the cost of funds to investors. There are strategies to lessen the effect of the commodity cycle and these should be employed now, at the top of a boom cycle -- not after things start to turn down. Whether this cycle is longer, the next let-down less severe, or the following recovery takes us still higher, no one can avoid the swings inherent in investing or renting in this most valuable real estate market of the world.
I believe we have come to the latter stages of a cycle where everyone must now be extraordinarily careful with new investments or lease commitments. The opportunities where you can do no wrong in an investment or lease commitment come early in each cyclical recovery, now several years past.
The possibility of mistakes can be mitigated, if not entirely avoided, in this market by hedging and. strategic planning -- similar to what suppliers and users employ in any commodity market. Developing a strategic plan and having an outside expert provide his alternative advice to the sales pressures of the market is a must, allowing for critical protection at this time.

Months of hard work reach fruition when a new exhibition,
''Dunedin's Great War'', opens at the Toitu Otago Settlers
Museum on Friday.
The show, almost 100 years to the day since World War 1 began
on August 4, 1914, provides a survey of Dunedin and its
people during the war and runs until May 3.
Museum collections assistant Beth Rees (24) said about 1900
Dunedin people were killed during the war.
It was sobering to realise that many young Dunedin and Otago
men had died during World War 1, well before reaching her
present age, she said.
Prominent in the exhibition is a World War 1 German medium
mortar, loaned by the Antique Arms Association's Otago
Branch secretary Bill Lang said the mortar fired a 62cm-long
shell and was a ''devastating'' weapon, with a range of up to
It could destroy trenches or explode shrapnel in mid-air.
Museum organisers said the exhibition gave people the chance
to explore what life was like at home and abroad during this
The exhibition covers the war's major battles, as well as the
work of the Otago Women's Patriotic Society, whose members
raised large sums of money to send great quantities of
''comforts'', such as knitted socks, to the troops.
Conscientious objectors also feature in the exhibition, as

Closing, opening, cast albums, casting and more in a huge Broadway news round-up
A lot has been happening on Broadway these last few weeks. Here are the biggest of the announcements:
Closing soon
Bye Bye Birdie has offically announced that it will play its final performance on Jan 24. Though technically an extension of its limited run, many had expected this expensive production to run much longer, and producers are definitely walking away with losses.
RUMOR: Michael Riedel of the New York Post is saying things aren't looking good for Broadway's Ragtime: "Officially, the producers say, 'there are no plans to close at this time.' Unofficially, it's likely to close Jan. 3 at a total loss, several production sources say."
Though not Broadway, this one is a big blow for NYC theatre. Altar Boyz, the longest running Off-Broadway musical to open in more than a decade (the 9th longest of all time), will play its final performance at New World Stages on Sunday, January 10th at 7:30 PM.
Opening soon
Million Dollar Quartet will officially begin previews at the Nederlander Theatre on March 13, 2010 and open on April 11, 2010. The Broadway production will be independent of the Chicago company, which will continue there. Broadway casting has not yet been announced.
All About Me, which had announced an opening in a few months at the John Golden Theatre, will instead take over Henry Miller's Theatre now that Bye Bye Birdie is vacating.
Producer Ken Davenport has announced that Stephen Schwartz's Godspell, which had been scheduled to begin previews at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre in September 2008, is now aiming for a Broadway bow during the 2010-11 season. The revival will be directed by Daniel Goldstein. No casting has yet been announced.
Cast albums
PS Classics and Nonesuch will team to release the new Broadway cast album of Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music. The cast of the Trevor Nunn-directed revival will record the album Jan. 4, 2010. No release date has yet been announced.
The cast album for the Broadway revival of Finian's Rainbow will be available on Feb. 2, 2010 (though the disc will be at the St. James Theatre three weeks before that). The new Broadway cast album will be produced by PS Classics.
Broadway's Memphis has recorded a cast album with Delray Records. The national release will be announced shortly, but in the meantime fans may purchase it at the Shubert Theatre where the musical opened in October.
Broadway casting announcements
Corbin Bleu of High School Musical fame is going to play the role of Usnavi in In the Heights starting January 25th. Regarding the casting (which has met with a lot of nay-saying online), Lin-Manuel Miranda had this to say:
Javi is amazing. Jon Rua is too.
Michael Balderrama makes the drama ring true.
They're big footsteps; I wrote a really big shoe.
This one is Lin-approved: Mr. Corbin Bleu.
Producers have announced that the Broadway production of Sondheim on Sondheim, opening April 22, will star Barbara Cook, Vanessa Williams, Tom Wopat, Leslie Kritzer, Norm Lewis, Euan Morton and Matthew Scott.
Kelsey Grammer has signed on to star in the Broadway musical La Cage Aux Folles, as Georges. He will star alongside Douglas Hodge, who will continue in the role of Albin, the drag queen star, which he played to critical acclaim in London. The revival opens on April 18, 2010 at the Longacre Theatre.
Matt Cavenaugh will play his last performance as Tony in West Side Story on Dec. 13. His understudy Matthew Hydzik will resume the role on Dec. 15.
Broadway's Mary Poppins welcomes Valerie Boyle to the role of household cook Mrs. Brill Dec. 4 and Tony nominee Jonathan Freeman to the company on Dec. 12 at the New Amsterdam Theatre.
Destiny's Child member Michelle Williams will join the musical Chicago on Broadway starting Feb. 8. Williams is slated to star as Roxie Hart in the production until mid-April.
Grammy-nominated cast albums
The Grammy Award nominations were announced, and the Best Musical Show Album contained nominations for Ain't Misbehavin', Hair, 9 to 5, Shrek and West Side Story.
Wicked sets a new record
Wicked hit a major milestone Thanksgiving weekend, becoming the first Broadway production to report sales of more than $2 million for a single week.
Musicals on the Silver Screen
Variety is reporting that "Shakespeare in Love" director John Madden is in talks to direct the film version of My Fair Lady with a screenplay by Emma Thompson. Keira Knightly and Daniel Craig have been rumored to star in the Cameron Mackintosh and Duncan Kenworthy produced movie musical.
Tony Award-winning actress Donna Murphy (Passion, The King and I) has joined the cast of the new Disney animated musical Rapunzel. Murphy will voice the role of the witch, alongside Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi. Academy Award-winning composer Alan Menken will compose and Byron Howard and Nathan Greno will direct.
Amateur rights available
Rights for the 2008 Tony Award winner for best musical, In the Heights, are now available through R&H Theatricals. For more information or to license the show, click here.
Musicals on Time's Top Ten of Everything list
Time Magazine unveiled its "The Top 10 Everything of 2009," rating news, entertainment, pop culture and more. Ragtime, Finian's Rainbow and Fela! all appeared on the "Top 10 Plays and Musicals" list and Marion Cotillard on the "Top 10 Movie Performances" list for her turn in the film version of Nine.
New equity leadership
Actors' Equity Association announced Dec. 11 that Mark S. Zimmerman has resigned as president, effective immediately. Equity's vice president Paige Price will now carry out the duties of the president until a new president is elected.
Touring soon
Dreamgirls concludes its Harlem run Dec. 12 prior to embarking on a national tour. The production, starring Moya Angela, Syesha Mercado, Adrienne Warren, Margaret Hoffman, Chaz Lamar Shepherd, Chester Gregory, Trevon Davis and Milton Craig Nealy was directed by Robert Longbottom (Side Show, Flower Drum Song, Bye Bye Birdie), who co-choreographed with Emmy-nominated hip-hop artist Shane Sparks.
The Memphis reviews are in …
You read what our guest reviewer thought of Memphis, the newest musical to open on Broadway, but what do the critics think?
Unlike Bye Bye Birdie, which was universally panned, reviews for Memphis were mixed. Here's what the big media outlets had to say:
Sex and race and rock 'n' roll made for a potent, at times inflammatory, combination in the 1950s, when the new musical "Memphis" is set. But there's no need to fear that a conflagration will soon consume the Shubert Theater, where the show opened on Monday night. This slick but formulaic entertainment, written by David Bryan and Joe DiPietro, barely generates enough heat to warp a vinyl record, despite the vigorous efforts of a talented, hard-charging cast. While the all-important music, by Mr. Bryan of Bon Jovi, competently simulates a wide range of period rock, gospel and rhythm and blues, the crucial ingredient — authentic soul — is missing in action. Read the full review.
The sensuous, soulful sound of rhythm 'n' blues hits the audience right from the start of "Memphis," the exhilarating new musical now shaking Broadway's Shubert Theatre. Take a deep breath as the curtain rises because the exuberance doesn't stop. Read the full review.
You might expect a show called Memphis, with a score by rock keyboardist David Bryan and a book by Joe DiPietro, whose last Broadway outing was the jukebox musical "All Shook Up," to be an homage to Elvis Presley. It isn't — and for that, the Presley estate owes Bryan and DiPietro a debt of gratitude. Read the full review.
A talented cast, stirring vocals, athletic dance numbers and vigorous direction supply crowd-pleasing elements in the lively new musical, "Memphis," as evidenced by the waves of appreciation coming off the audience. But there's also a nagging predictability to this story of a white DJ who brings rockin' rhythm and blues from black Beale Street to the mainstream in 1950s Tennessee. The show is entertaining but synthetic, its telepic plotting restitching familiar threads from "Hairspray" and "Dreamgirls," while covering fictitious ground adjacent to that of recent biopic "Cadillac Records. Read the full review.
Contrary to popular belief, rock and roll did not start with Elvis Presley. The new Broadway musical "Memphis" depicts its birth among black singers in underground nightclubs on the now fabled Beale Street – and how the art form was soon pirated by white businessmen as a form of mass entertainment. Read the full review.
Memphis: A good time at the theater (A guest review by Peter Duchan)
If you're looking for a good time at the theater, Memphis may be just the show for you.
This slick and mostly entertaining new musical from the team that brought you The Toxic Avenger, centers on Huey Calhoun, a ne'er-do-well high school drop out who discovers his calling in promoting the rhythm and blues music of African-American singers, especially the beautiful and talented Felicia Farrell. Of course, Huey, who is Caucasian, falls in love with Felicia, and complications ensue.
Unfortunately, the musical is neither sensitive nor intelligent enough to handle these complications with the requisite depth, and this prevents Memphis from being a wholly satisfying musical theater experience.
Memphis belongs in a category of art led by "Mississippi Burning," the 1988 film about civil rights, stories in which the white man gets a hefty amount of credit for a struggle he didn't quite participate in. Memphis at least acknowledges this with passing references to the question of appropriation, as the basic story is one of white people finding success on black shoulders. On the whole, however, it feels overstuffed with broad simplifications and its only discernible theme or message is an uncontroversial plea for tolerance.
And yet, I had a great time. The production makes it pretty clear early on that, despite the seriousness of the subject, you are going to enjoy yourself watching it.
The pleasant but unremarkable score (David Bryan and Joe DiPietro) propels the show. There is hardly a moment without music, and it would take a stony heart not to groove a little in your seat. The book, by Joe DiPietro, is fast-paced and often funny, despite doing its fair share of pandering to an audience that is surely smarter than DiPietro assumes.
And the show boasts one of the most energetic and hardworking ensembles I've seen in a Broadway musical. They deliver Sergio Trujillo's snappy and fun choreography with tremendous zeal and excitement. There are a number of fine dances peppered throughout, including one involving a group of girls jumping rope together, but Trujillo fails to seize many storytelling opportunities.
The production in general is upbeat and professional, but is often marred by a feeling of skimming the surface of what, frustratingly, must be a very deep pool. Characters are allotted their one emotion or conviction, as exemplified by the characterization of Delray, Felicia's brother. He begins the show extremely protective of her and doesn't seem to grow or change much in the course of its two and a half hour running time. This can be aggravating, since nothing Delray says ends up being all that surprising.
There is one standout performance in the piece, and that is Montego Glover as Felicia. The show only truly engages when she's at its center, as in her first act dramatic number, "Colored Woman," when she lets loose and bemoans a society that teaches African-American women not to dream.
But Huey (Chad Kimball) can't seem to stop himself from stealing her thunder–despite vowing to make her successful–and it is his character that drives much of the action. His is a highly mannered form of showmanship, but he seems to hold the audience in the palm of his hand and received an enormous ovation at the close of the evening.
It's always a pleasure to hear Cass Morgan sing, even if her character's jump from stereotypical racist to beacon of tolerance is unsatisfactorily charted.
Musicals do tend generally to be light and upbeat and you can't be too upset when one succeeds at being so. However, Memphis tackles a subject—broadly, American racism—that I feel deserves a little more nuance than the authors achieve. Nevertheless, the evening is an enjoyable one. I just wonder if you should leave a musical on such a heavy subject, turning to your companion and saying, "Boy, I had a terrific time."

US Airways anticipates that unit costs excluding fuel will be flat to decrease by 2% in the third quarter compared to 2011, which is down from previous guidance.
The Tempe-based Star Alliance carrier had predicted that the costs per available seat mile would increase by 1% to 3% during the period in July.
However, US Airways expects to pay between $3.05 and $3.10 per gallon for jet fuel in the third quarter, which is up from between $2.94 and $2.99 per gallon in July, according to an investor update today.
The five-day moving average price of jet fuel was about $130 per barrel at the end of September, according to industry body Airlines for America. This is up about a fifth from roughly $110 per barrel at the beginning of the third quarter.
US Airways also adjusted its capacity guidance up to 19.6 billion available seat miles from 19.4 billion, and its non-aircraft capital expenditure down to $42 million from $44 million for the quarter.
The airline adjusted its unit costs excluding fuel guidance to up between 3% and 5% from an increase of 1% to 3% during the fourth quarter versus 2011 as well. It anticipates that it will pay $3.25 to $3.30 per gallon for jet fuel in the period.
For the year, US Airways now anticipates that it will pay between $3.17 and $3.22 per gallon for fuel compared to $3.07 to $3.22 per gallon.
Capacity will increase by 2% this year compared to last due to higher completion factors and the replacement of Boeing 737-300s and -400s with larger Airbus A321s.

1. What is your relationship with the word or id entity "butch?"
entity "butch?"
While I think there is a whole crew of people now who are reinventing what it means to be butch, I came up feeling afraid to claim it in case people decided I wasn't butch "enough." My butchness isn't particularly tough, or hard. My masculinity is more akin to queer male masculinity–faggy butch, you might call it.
2. What kind of words and labels, if any, do you use to identify yourself?
I would identify with the label genderqueer before the label butch, although I like both.
3. What do you wish you could tell your younger self about sex, sexuality, or gender?
I wish I could tell my younger self not to be so self-conscious, not to care so much about other people's judgments. There is room for all of us inside these labels, and the way we reinvent them is what keeps things interesting.comment on this

The goal of the research, known as the Ivy Glioblastoma Atlas Project (GAP), is to unlock the secrets behind one of the deadliest brain tumors known to humankind — glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), a cancer that recently took the lives of U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy and columnist Robert Novak. The project is a partnership between the Ben and Catherine Ivy Foundation, the Allen Institute for Brain Science and the Swedish Neuroscience Institute's newly named Ben and Catherine Ivy Center for Advanced Brain Tumor Treatment.

The Ivy GAP will show which genes are active — or not functioning normally — within a GBM tumor at a level of detail not previously possible. This is important because the development of better therapies depends on understanding the key molecular changes that drive brain tumor behavior. The ultimate goal of the project is to improve disease management in GBM patients, as well as facilitate breakthroughs in drug development and treatment. Researchers expect that these breakthroughs could accelerate the effort to develop improved patient prognoses.
Research on the atlas project is slated for completion in 2013. The resulting atlas information will then be made available online for free use by the global medical and scientific communities. The GAP is expected to be of great value to the more than 20,000 Americans who are diagnosed with malignant brain tumors annually.
Since GBM is a highly heterogeneous disease, meaning that brain cancer manifests itself differently in each person, it has been challenging for researchers to discover effective treatments. Each treatment plan needs to be highly personalized and the development of better patient therapies depends on an improved understanding of the differences in brain tumors. This detailed information from the Ivy GAP will allow doctors and researchers the ability to correlate tumor differences with treatment response in each patient.
"Supporting the Ivy Glioblastoma Atlas Project fulfills several important goals for our Foundation," said Catherine Ivy, founder of the Ben and Catherine Ivy Foundation. "We hope this project will increase our understanding of brain tumors which, in turn, can lead to improved diagnostics and treatments. Information from the project will be made publicly available to researchers throughout the world so they can use it freely in their own studies. This project honors the memory of my late husband and our dedication to doing everything we can to reduce the suffering of patients diagnosed with a brain tumor."
Atlas to Shed New Light on Genetic Mutations of Brain Cancer Tumors
Previously published GBM gene data has contained information from whole tumor samples, but understanding what this information means is challenging because of the lack of knowledge about where abnormal gene activity takes place within the tumor. Results from the atlas project will provide insight into functional context and provide a better understanding of GBM tumor biology and heterogeneity. This, in turn, will help doctors better understand the unique features of a patient's tumor.
The atlas project will target 1,000 genes, which were selected for study by a panel of physician scientists and medical professionals led by Greg Foltz, M.D., director of the Ivy Center for Advanced Brain Tumor Treatment and a principal investigator on the atlas project. The committee includes experts in the field of neuro-oncology and genomics from leading academic centers and research institutes in the U.S. The final list will include candidate genes as well as known genes relevant to GBM biology.
"The atlas project will accelerate our discovery for new brain cancer treatments and allow scientists around the world to focus on the genes that really matter in glioblastoma," Dr. Foltz said. "Research from recent decades has led to the identification of thousands of abnormal genes in glioblastoma. This atlas project will allow us to prioritize which of those genes play important roles in the tumor behavior."
Creating the Ivy Glioblastoma Atlas Project
Tumor tissue samples will be collected at the Ivy Center for Advanced Brain Tumor Treatment for a complete genomic analysis and then sent to the Allen Institute for Brain Science for study of the target genes. There, the samples will be sliced into extremely thin strips, processed using in situ hybridization and digitally photographed. Each of the high-resolution photos will be reassembled in a computer model where researchers will plot the cells and genes into a 3-D map. In addition to the gene analysis, researchers will collect clinical information from the patients to compare the molecular findings with treatment outcomes throughout the study.
"Based on our experience with the launch of the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas in 2006, we anticipate widespread use of this free resource with the potential for immediate impact on patient outcomes," said Elaine Jones, chief operating officer at the Allen Institute. "The atlas will be integrated with The Institute's core project, the Allen Human Brain Atlas, allowing researchers the ability to rapidly identify GBM specific genes."
In addition to collecting initial samples from some 64 participating patients, the research team at the Ivy Center for Advanced Brain Tumor Treatment will also be able to collect samples from recurrent tumors to compare them to each patient's original tumor. This will provide researchers with a rare opportunity to identify patterns of gene expression as the tumor progresses within an individual patient.
"For the Ivy Foundation, patients remain at the core of all the research we support," Ivy said. "To be meaningful, the ultimate goal of all research must be to impact on the clinical care of patients by improving diagnostics and treatment. We hope that the Ivy Glioblastoma Atlas Project will do just that."

Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Placido Polanco went 3-for-4 with three doubles, three runs knocked in and two runs scored as Detroit Tigers avenged last season's World Series loss to the St. Louis Cardinals with a 14-4 rout in the opener of a three-game interleague set. St. Louis beat the Tigers in five games to capture last year's Fall Classic. Friday, however, was a different story as the Tigers pounded out 18 hits to score three more runs than they did in the entire series against the Cardinals. Gary Sheffield hit a two-run home run and had three RBI and Curtis Granderson also knocked in three runs for the Tigers, who rebounded from a doubleheader sweep at the hands of Boston on Thursday. Magglio Ordonez went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and three runs scored for Detroit while Sean Casey went 4-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored. All of the run support gave Andrew Miller (1-0) the win in his first major league start. Miller, who was recalled from Double-A Erie before the game, scattered four hits in six innings of work, striking out two and walking three. Albert Pujols went 4-for-4 with a home run and two RBI for the Cardinals, who are a far cry from last year's championship winners. St. Louis has lost three in a row and sits in fifth place in the NL Central with a record of 16-23. Braden Looper (5-3) was tagged for nine hits and seven runs in four-plus innings of work.
Final Score: Chicago Cubs 6, Chicago White Sox 3
Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Angel Pagan went 3-for-5 with a pair of RBI, as the Chicago Cubs came back to top the cross-town rival White Sox, 6-3, in the opener of a three-game interleague set at Wrigley Field. Michael Barrett homered and Aramis Ramirez had three hits for the Cubs, who snapped a two- game skid. Ted Lilly (4-2) got the start and pitched seven strong innings, allowing three runs on six hits with six strikeouts. Opposing starter Mark Buehrle put up a similar line, throwing 6 2/3 innings of three-run, six-hit ball but came up with the no-decision. Mike MacDougal (1-1) took the loss after yielding three runs -- one earned -- in less than an inning of work. Jermaine Dye homered for the White Sox, who have dropped two of three.
Final Score: Florida 8, Tampa Bay 4
St. Petersburg, FL (Sports Network) - Aaron Boone hit a grand slam to help the Florida Marlins to an 8-4 win over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the opener of a three-game interleague series at Tropicana Field. Reggie Abercrombie had two hits and two RBI while Josh Willingham scored a pair of runs for the Marlins, who have won three of four. Byung-Hyun Kim (2-2), who made his debut with Florida after being acquired from Colorado last Sunday for closer Jorge Julio, got the win as he was charged with three runs -- two earned -- on six hits in 5 1/3 innings. Ty Wigginton had a pair of solo home runs while Edwin Jackson (0-6) continued to struggle on the mound as he was banged up for six runs on seven hits in just 2 2/3 innings for the Devil Rays, who had a season-high four-game winning streak stopped.
Final Score: NY Mets 3, NY Yankees 2
Flushing, NY (Sports Network) - Endy Chavez hit his first home run of the season to lead the Mets to a 3-2 victory over the Yankees in the opener of the annual interleague Subway Series at Shea Stadium. Mets starter Oliver Perez (5-3) pitched 7 2/3 strong innings, allowing just two runs on five hits while striking out five and walking two. Perez has now won three of his last four starts. Paul Lo Duca finished 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles for the Mets, who have won three straight and eight of their last 10 games overall. Andy Pettitte (2-3) started for the Yankees and gave up three runs on five hits in seven innings. The veteran left-hander fanned four and walked just one in his second straight loss. Hideki Matsui ended 2-for-4 with a two-run homer for the Yankees, who have lost two straight and four of their last five games. Despite the loss, the Yankees did get good news Friday as Roger Clemens pitched four solid innings in his first minor league start since rejoining the team, giving up just one run for Class-A Tampa. Clemens threw 58 pitches, gave up just three hits, including a home run in the first inning, while striking out two and not walking a batter. Seven of his 12 outs recorded came on ground balls.
Atlanta at Boston, postponed
Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Friday night's game between the Boston Red Sox and Atlanta Braves at Fenway Park has been postponed due to wet grounds and inclement weather. The game has been rescheduled as part of a split doubleheader for Saturday, May 19, beginning at 7:35 p.m. The opener of the day-night doubleheader will be played at the regularly scheduled time of 1:05 p.m. The forecast calls for continued moderate to heavy rain throughout Friday afternoon and evening and the forecast for Saturday also calls for showers.
Final Score: Baltimore 5, Washington 4
Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Brian Roberts matched a career high with four hits as the Baltimore Orioles edged the Washington Nationals, 5-4, in the opener of a three-game interleague set at RFK Stadium. Starter Steve Trachsel (2-3) lasted 5 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on four hits and four walks, while striking out two. Chris Ray pitched the ninth inning for his ninth save of the season, retiring Ryan Zimmerman on a lineout to left with runners at the corners to end the game. Corey Patterson and Jay Payton drove in runs with a pair of sacrifice flies and Roberts had three singles and a double for the Orioles, who snapped a five-game losing streak. Washington starter Jason Simontacchi (1-2) went six innings, allowing three runs on eight hits and one walk while fanning six. Dmitri Young and Zimmerman both homered for the Nationals, who had won six of seven coming in.
Final Score: Philadelphia 5, Toronto 3
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Jon Lieber allowed three runs on six hits with seven strikeouts in seven-plus innings, as the streaking Philadelphia Phillies continued their 10-game homestand with a 5-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays in interleague action from Citizens Bank Park. Lieber (2-2) has pitched well since moving into the rotation from the bullpen, but the Phils right-hander had dropped his last two starts coming into the game. Brett Myers, who swapped Lieber's starting spot earlier in the season, escaped a bases-loaded jam in the ninth for his fifth save of the campaign. Aaron Rowand finished 1-for-4 with an RBI and run scored for the Phillies, who have won seven of their last nine. Greg Dobbs and Shane Victorino notched the only other hits for the Phils in the win. Aaron Hill and Matt Stairs both homered for the Blue Jays, who began a nine-game road swing after wrapping up a nine-game homestand with a three-game sweep of Baltimore. Lyle Overbay ended 2-for-4. Right-hander Dustin McGowan (0-1), who is replacing the injured Gustavo Chacin in the rotation, gave up five runs on three hits with four walks and five strikeouts in 4 2/3 innings, in his third start of the season for Toronto. He retired the first nine batters without allowing a hit through four frames before crumbling in the fifth.
Final Score: Cleveland 9, Cincinnati 4
Cleveland, OH (Sports Network) - Grady Sizemore went 4-for-5 with three RBI as the Cleveland Indians beat the Cincinnati Reds, 9-4, in the opening game of a three-game interleague series at Jacobs Field. Sizemore belted his seventh homer of the season, a two-run blast in the third, stole a base and scored three runs for the Indians, who have won five of their last six games. Ryan Garko hit a three-run homer and Jhonny Peralta went 3-for-4 with an RBI to bolster the offense. Cliff Lee (2-0) allowed four runs - two earned - and six hits over six innings in the win. The left-hander improved to 8-0 in 11 career starts against National League opponents. He is now 3-0 against the Reds in his career. Kyle Lohse (1-5) was tagged for seven runs - five earned - and seven hits in just 1 1/3 innings for the Reds. The right-hander, who has not earned a win since beating the Chicago Cubs on April 15, had his shortest outing since 2001 with Minnesota. He has an 8.03 ERA in his last five starts and is the first Red to lose five straight since John Smiley from April 6-28, 1997. Brandon Phillips extended his hitting streak to a career-best 20 games for Cincinnati, which has lost six of seven. Ryan Freel added a bases-loaded triple.
Final Score: Texas 7, Houston 4
Houston, TX (Sports Network) - Nelson Cruz and Ramon Vazquez hit back-to-back home runs and Robinson Tejeda had a no-hitter through five innings as the Texas Rangers beat the Astros 7-4 in the opener of a three-game interleague set at Minute Maid Park. Tejeda (4-3) was flawless before surrendering two hits and a walk in the sixth. Scott Feldman relieved him and worked out of the jam. Tejeda yielded just one run and two hits in five-plus innings, walking four and striking out six. The Astros scored four runs off the Rangers' bullpen, but Eric Gagne pitched a scoreless ninth to earn his second save in as many tries. Vazquez finished with three hits, Sammy Sosa had two RBI and Kenny Lofton scored twice for the Rangers, who snapped a four- game losing streak. Brad Ausmus, Mike Lamb and Carlos Lee all drove in a run for the Astros, who have dropped two in a row since their four-game winning streak. Matt Albers (1-3) lasted only three innings, allowing five runs on six hits, while walking two and striking out four.
Final Score: Minnesota 8, Milwaukee 1
Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Boof Bonser notched a career-high 11 strikeouts, and Torii Hunter belted his eighth career grand slam as the Minnesota Twins beat the Milwaukee Brewers, 8-1, in the first game of a three- game interleague series at Miller Park. Bonser (2-1) tossed seven innings of one-run, three-hit ball for Minnesota, which has won five of the last six games he has started. Jeff Cirillo hit his first homer of the season, a two- run shot in the seventh, and also chipped in with an RBI triple against his former team, as the Twins won for just the second time in their last nine games and third in their last 11. Chris Capuano (5-2) allowed six runs on seven hits in 5 1/3 innings in the loss for Milwaukee. He walked four and struck out two while dropping his second straight game. The left-hander suffered his first loss of the season to the New York Mets on May 13. Bill Hall had the lone RBI for the Brewers, who have dropped six of their last eight games.
Final Score: Oakland 15, San Francisco 3
Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Barry Zito struggled in his return to Oakland and the A's, behind a grand slam by Mark Ellis and a two-run home run by Dan Johnson, roughed up their former Cy Young teammate and defeated the San Francisco Giants, 15-3, in the opener of a three-game interleague set. Zito (3-5), who pitched seven seasons for Oakland and helped the club capture four American League West titles as well as a wild-card berth during his tenure, tied a career-high with seven walks and was tagged for six hits and seven runs in four-plus innings of work. The 29-year-old southpaw, who compiled a 102-63 record in an Athletics uniform and won the AL Cy Young Award in 2002, bolted from his original team over the winter and signed a seven-year, $126-million free-agent contract with San Francisco. Ellis finished with five RBI while Johnson went 2-for-3 with three walks and four runs scored for the A's, who had lost three of their last four. Nick Swisher, Jack Cust and Bobby Crosby each had two RBI for Oakland while Eric Chavez also scored three runs. Chad Gaudin (3-1) picked up the win after yielding seven hits and two runs in six innings of work. Barry Bonds' homerless drought hit eight games, as the legendary slugger went 2-for-3 with a walk for the Giants, who have lost three of four. Bonds remains 10 home runs shy of tying Hank Aaron's all-time record.
Final Score: LA Angels of Anaheim 9, LA Dodgers 1
Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) - Reggie Willits finished 2-for-4 with two runs batted in and scored twice, as the latest edition of the Freeway Series got underway with the LA Angels of Anaheim routing the Los Angeles Dodgers, 9-1, in the first of three straight interleague matchups between the Southern California foes. Maicer Izturis went 2-for-3 and scored two runs with an RBI for the Angels, who won their third straight. Casey Kotchman ended 2-for-4 and scored twice in the win. Ervin Santana (3-5), who stopped a four- start winless streak, gave up one run on six hits with three walks and four strikeouts in six innings for the Angels. Rafael Furcal finished 2-for-4 for the Dodgers, who entered the set with victories in five of their last six contests and took the final two matchups of a three-game series with defending world champion St. Louis earlier this week. Russell Martin went 2-for-3 with an RBI in the loss. Brad Penny (5-1) allowed eight runs on eight hits with two walks and two strikeouts in five- plus frames for his first loss in nine starts.
Final Score: San Diego 8, Seattle 1
Seattle, WA (Sports Network) - Mike Cameron went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and two runs batted in, as San Diego downed Seattle, 8-1, in the opener of a three-game interleague series from Safeco Field. Chris Young got the start for San Diego and gave up just one run on six hits in 6 2/3 strong innings. Young (5-3) also struck out five and walked one. Russell Branyan added a three-run homer for the Padres, who have won two straight and four of their last five games overall. Seattle starter Miguel Batista pitched 6 2/3 innings and gave up four runs -- one earned -- on six hits. Batista (3-4) also struck out four and walked four in the loss. Ichiro Suzuki ended 2-for-4 and stole three bases for the Mariners, who have lost three straight.

"I removed the table #____. These are the perfect size & thickness for seating cards. The colors match a pink themed wedding perfectly. I also ordered the matching invitations."
"Ordered a sample in the yellow. Paper quality is great. Paper is a little crinkly (ordered the basic paper) which I like. Paper stands up well. Love the colors. The website mock up is pretty darn close to the actual colors which is great!!"
"I changed the table number Font to match the other paper items that will be issued to guests at the wedding. It was extremely easy and it works perfectly! I wish I could have personalized it a bit more but I am very happy with my experience and the finished product. These place cards are absolutely beautiful."
"I went with the matte paper. The combination of the white paper and purple flowers looks amazing. The floral design is exactly as it appears in the picture. Although it looks small it gives a simple elegance to the card. I didn't print our names or the date of our wedding on the cards (I did keep the line to write the number) to ensure that the person writing our guests' names would have plenty if space. Even if you add some script on the top there's enough room to for most names. For the money these cards are very nice. I'm glad I ordered them."
"In agonizing over how to address placards, it became obvious due to the size that one per person was necessary and I hadn't ordered enough. Re ordered and recd in time for my wedding!"

Palace offices cancel Christmas parties due to 'Pablo,' call for 'subdued' celebrations
MANILA, Philippines—With hundreds of families mourning their dead and searching for their missing kin in the aftermath of typhoon "Pablo," some Malacañang offices are scrapping their Christmas parties and are appealing for "subdued celebrations" across the country.
As figures of the dead and missing continued to mount, the Office of the President, the Presidential Communications Operations Office and the Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Office have called off holiday parties, Secretary Edwin Lacierda said.
The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council has also canceled its party, he said.
"How does one celebrate when you know that there is misery when people are missing? How can one celebrate and fully enjoy knowing that there are fellow brethren who have family members that cannot be found, cannot be accounted for?'' the presidential spokesman said.
Taking cue from President
Lacierda said these offices were taking their cue from President Aquino who wondered amid the gloom: "How does one celebrate?"
"This is not an order; we're taking our cue from the President. I think it's important for everyone to know that the national government is in solidarity with the typhoon victims," he said in a briefing.
The President has been keeping tabs on updates from areas in Mindanao, Visayas and Palawan battered by the supertyphoon last Tuesday, missing Manny Pacquiao's fight with Juan Manuel Marquez in Las Vegas Saturday night (Sunday in Manila).
From Day One, in his speaking engagements, Aquino has consistently appealed for help to the hundreds of families displaced by the storm.
If at all, celebrations by the rest of Christian Filipinos, especially the thousands of overseas workers coming home for the holidays, should be subdued, Lacierda said.
"I think the celebration should be more subdued. We can't escape the fact there are those coming home to celebrate Christmas here. Secondly, we can't escape the get-togethers during Christmas and New Year. So the idea here is to celebrate Christmas simply," he said.
Shelling out donations
On top of calling off parties, some Cabinet officials are also heeding the President's to shell out donations for the victims from their own pocket.
"In fact, our office and the office of Secretary Ricky Carandang have already made plans of donating to the typhoon victims. So I'm sure we are not going to be found wanting in sharing to our less fortunate brethren some measure of assistance," Lacierda said.
"Instead of pouring our resources to a party, we'd like to use those resources for our assistance to the typhoon victims," he added.
While government has ample supply of relief goods, Malacañang aired an appeal to the private sector to pour more aid for the typhoon victims.
"Certainly we welcome efforts from the private sector, the NGOs to provide any relief in whatever form," Lacierda said. "Certainly we would like to do it as how they did—the multiplication of loaves and fishes."
Lacierda singled out Manny V. Pangilinan and TV5 for its telethon that raised P100 million for the typhoon victims, and urged support for ABS-CBN's Sagip Kapamilya and GMA's Kapuso Foundation.
Call on all Filipinos
"We call on all Filipinos to continue being of service to our countrymen most in need, knowing fully well that together, we will persist and we shall overcome these difficult times," he said.
As the public grappled with the aftermath of the typhoon, Lacierda said the government has begun looking into reports blaming mining and illegal logging for the devastation.
"Well, we've seen anecdotal videos of logs and so DILG Secretary Mar Roxas is starting an investigation. As to culpability, one thing is for certain: if there's any culpability [found against anyone], we will pursue that. We will prosecute. That's the purpose [of] the investigation," he said.
Lacierda said local government officials should also ensure the use of the geohazard maps in implementing evacuation measures.
"Those geohazard maps were already present (since) last year and so I think Secretary Mar Roxas is going to be strict in implementing the danger zone areas," he said. "The local government officials should be mindful of the geohazard areas within their municipalities, within their province, within the region."
The Department of Transportation and Communications deployed more vessels for search-and-rescue operations for survivors, Lacierda said.
"The earlier the better, because the longer it takes, the more the chances of survival grow dim," he said of the search-and-rescue operations.
The Department of Social Welfare and Development has begun building bunkhouses in Banganga, Boston and Cateel in Davao Oriental, and New Bataan, Compostela, Lacierda said.

|Tie the Knot
Meaning - to get married. For example, "John ties the knot with Mary."
There is a suggestion that this expression derives from the nets of knotted string which supported beds prior to the introduction of metal-sprung bedframes. The theory goes that, in order to make a marriage bed, you needed to 'tie the knot'. Like many such folk-etymological explanations, there's not a shred of evidence to support this idea.
It isn't clear whether this expression derives from an actual knot used in marriage ceremonies or whether the knot is merely symbolic of a lasting unity. Knots have a place in the folklore of many cultures and usually symbolize unbreakable pledges. Actual knots have certainly been used in marriage ceremonies for some time and the tradition of trying the wrists of the bride and groom with twine continues today in marriages in the use of sashes which are placed over the principal's wrists. The word 'knot', although not in the phrase 'tie the knot', has been associated with marriage since at least the 13th century. The Legend of St. Katherine, circa 1225 used the Middle English 'cnotte', i.e. 'knot', to mean 'the tie or bond of wedlock; the marriage or wedding knot':
E. and M. A. Radford's The Encyclopedia of Superstitions has it that:
The expression was recorded in 1717 by the English poet and diplomat, Matthew Prior. In his humourous poem, Alma; or, The Progress of the Mind he includes:
Francis Grose, in his 1811 edition of The Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue listed the 'knot tied with the tongue' with specific reference to marriage.
The Jewish tradition, like many others, also has a long history of the use of knots in the marriage ceremony. The Wilmingtonian And Delaware Advertiser, January 1826, reported this item under the banner of 'Miss Rothchild's Marriage':

[color=black][font=Verdana]Okay, this is super embarrassing - but I'll be upfront and come back with my findings. In short, AllanD you were right! I loaded the film holders incorrectly, and I apologize big time for being a cocky bastard. You can read on if you wish to hear my sorted tale [/font][/color]
[color=black][font=Verdana]First of all, yesterday after work I came home and shot 2 carefully metered portrait exposures in good natural light in front of the house. Later, I mixed fresh chemicals and processed the first sheet. SAME PROBLEM GROSSLY UNDEREXPOSED [/font][/color]
[color=black][font=Verdana]Just before cursing Kodak, I went and retrieved the sheet box and looked on the back. Those pesky notches..! Im starting to think Im mildly dyslexic [/font][/color]
[color=black][font=Verdana]Anyway, on every b&w film Ive used the notch is on top right (if viewing the emulsion side up with the sheet held vertically). This was my first box of Kodak 4x5 ever. Yes its true [/font][/color]
[color=black][font=Verdana]Before I initially loaded my holders, I was looking carefully at the strange notch pattern, and somewhere in my crazy brain I decided that Kodak must be different. Or is it all color film? Or is it remembering that someone who said to me not 3 weeks ago that some notches are on the opposite side of the edge (this is true, someone said this to me)? [/font][/color]
[color=black][font=Verdana]Well, I put the damn sheets in emulsion side down. This was deliberate, and it makes it that much more embarrassing. Ive never even had this happen with b&w sheets by accident, much less on purpose.[/font][/color]
[color=black][font=Verdana]So I go back downstairs and correct my remaining holders with the Kodak color sheets (hopefully I didnt scratch the emulsion) and I shot a test sheet indoors just to confirm that I havent gone completely crazy. It turned out perfect after development. Valuable and silly lesson learned [/font][/color]
[color=black][font=Verdana]Ill have to ask another question (as soon as all the laughter dies down) Do any sheet films have the notches on the other side of that top edge..?[/font][/color]

Arizona Diamondbacks
D-backs agree to terms with free agent pitcher Brandon McCarthy
According to Arizona Sports 620's John Gambadoro, the Arizona Diamondbacks have bolstered their starting rotation through free agency.
Diamondbacks have agreed to a deal with 29-year old free agent right handed pitcher Brandon McCarthy pending a physical— John Gambadoro (@Gambo620) December 7, 2012
McCarthy went 8-6 with a 3.24 ERA in 18 starts for the Oakland Athletics in 2012. The 6-foot-7 right-hander had his season cut short when he was struck in the head by a line drive off the bat of Los Angeles Angels infielder Erick Aybar. Oakland had termed the injury "life-threatening" immediately following, but the veteran was medically cleared to return to baseball last month.
In his seven-year career, McCarthy has posted a 37-39 record in 153 games (99 starts) with a 4.02 ERA. He was Oakland's opening day starter in 2012.
According to Nick Piecoro of AZCentral, the deal is worth $15.5 million over two years.

Dog Days
On Saturday, the Denver Post reported Duane "Dog" Chapman, bounty hunter and quipmaster extrordinaire, said from his Hawaiian home that growing up in Denver meant something really special to him.
In addition to telling Post columnist Bill Husted that he used to orchestrate drug deals in order to steal money from the dealers themselves in a Washington Park that we can only assume contained then more canines of Chapman's ilk than the chocolate labs of today, Chapman says of our modest bovine metropolis:
All Denver had then was Villa Italia and Celebrity Lanes.
And he says that like it was a bad thing.
Skateboard gripped firmly in one hand, Slurpee or nachos in the other, picture me rolling through the suburban splendor that was Villa Italia mall, my posse three or four deep on a Saturday afternoon. Oh, the glory of it all. We would stalk mall security, pretend to steal precious items from department stores, and bolt for the mall entrance only to display empty pockets when the wheezing, overweight police academy washout finally stopped our flight. Crying wolf was, of course, a ruse to enable real thievery later on.
Sure it was one of the only sources of entertainment available to kids in Lakewood desperate for some sort of freedom from their parents, but its low-brow consumer and social pleasures -- recounted here with a nostalgia that may or may not be rooted in hipster irony, I honestly can't tell anymore – were limitless.
This is the place where I saw Terminator 2, dropped off a full two hours early by a friend's parents so we could maximize our time at playing Street Fighter II.
This was the place where I bought a pair of nunchakus from the knife store that also sold ceramic dragons, role-playing games, and swords of all measure.
This is the place where I learned to reconcile reality with my love for the Latina girls -- whose bangs were sure to be Aquanetted into a wall of plumage to rival any foul peacock – who would, at best, address me only with a click of the tongue and a terse "as if," or "psy-eeeech."
This is the place where I saw those same countless objects of my lily-white obsession get the words "Exit Only" air-brushed on the assess of their Girbaud jeans, and later their JNCOs.
This was simply the place.
And I don't care how many lectures on tequila or the dark energy of the universe Adam Lerner hosts at the Lab at Belmar, roughly where my mall used to stand; Villa Italia was a bastion of culture that is now lost to the ages, remembered lovingly only by shoddy bloggers in half-assed texts.
And don't even get me started on the joys of Celebrity Sports Center. -- Sean Cronin

Almost everyone is familiar with the murder trial of Scott Peterson. In 2004, after a highly publicized criminal trial in California, Scott was convicted of the first-degree murder of his wife, Laci. In 2005, Scott was sentenced to death. He filed an appeal, which is currently pending before the California Supreme Court. In the meantime, Scott resides in San Quentin State Prison on California?s death row.
Fewer people may be aware of the battle that has raged during the past several years?largely unnoticed by the media?over Laci Peterson?s life insurance proceeds. In 2001, Principal Life Insurance Company issued a $250,000 variable life insurance policy to Laci, with Scott as the primary beneficiary. Laci was reported missing on Christmas Eve, 2002. Almost four months later, on April 14, 2003, Laci?s body washed ashore at the San Francisco Bay. A few days after that, Scott was arrested and charged with Laci?s murder.

The rooms are modern and clean, with a great bathroom. The hotel also offers a pool, spa and sauna which was good for relaxing after a long day of walking. The staff are very helpful and friendly. However, our room did not receive good wifi reception, which wasn't a big deal anyway. The hotel is a bit far from town, being about a 20 min walk to the train station as well.

Clemson–Georgia Tech football rivalry
The Clemson–Georgia Tech football rivalry is an American college football rivalry between the Clemson Tigers football team of Clemson University and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football team of Georgia Tech. The Tigers and Yellow Jackets first met in 1898, and have played annually since 1983. Clemson won the first four games of the series between 1898 and 1903, but Georgia Tech leads the all-time series 50–27–2, including a dominant 32–3 run during a sixty-five year period between 1908 and 1973.
The ACC series between the schools, beginning in 1983, has been very close and competitive. The ACC series is tied at 16 wins apiece, after #22 Georgia Tech defeated #19 Clemson 28-6 on November 15, 2014. Georgia Tech defeated Clemson twice in one season in 2009, but Ramblin' Wreck's victory over the Tigers in the 2009 ACC Championship Game has since been vacated and is voided from the series record.
The two programs have won more than ACC Championships. Georgia Tech most recently ended the season ranked #1 by the UPI Coaches Poll in 1990 after defeating the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the 1991 Florida Citrus Bowl, while Clemson ended the year ranked #1 in 1981, ironically also after also defeating Nebraska in the 1982 Orange Bowl. Georgia Tech also claims football national titles in 1917, 1928, and 1952. Heisman Trophy namesake John Heisman coached at both schools, at Clemson from 1899 to 1904, before leaving for Georgia Tech in 1905 and leading Tech to its first national title in his last year.
Both schools also have intense in-state rivalries against larger schools which both happen to be in the SEC: Georgia Tech's Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate rivalry with the Georgia Bulldogs, and Clemson's Palmetto Bowl game against the South Carolina Gamecocks.
Series history[edit]
Through 2013, the teams have played 78 times, with Tech leading the series 50–27–2.[1] The teams first met in 1898, when Clemson's third-year program defeated Georgia Tech 23–0 to finish with a 3–1 record. The following year, the Tigers beat Tech again, 41–5.[2] In 1904, Georgia Tech lured away Clemson's head coach, John Heisman (namesake of the Heisman Trophy), with the prospect of $450 pay raise ($11,812 adjusted for inflation), which was a 25% salary increase.[3]
In 1977, Georgia Tech, a year before it joined the ACC, decided to end its series with Clemson. George Bennett, a Clemson athletics booster, was determined to preserve the game, as the trip to Atlanta provided a unique experience for the Tigers players and fanbase who had not been to a bowl game since 1959. In what was supposed to be the final game in Atlanta, upon Bennett's suggestion, thousands of Clemson supporters paid their expenses with two-dollar bills stamped with the shape of a tiger paw. This demonstrated the large amount of money that the Clemson fanbase regularly pumped into the local economy because of the game.[4]
The series resumed in 1983 when Georgia Tech began playing football in the ACC. This has become one of the most competitive rivalries in the ACC with Clemson only leading 16-15 in the ACC era. These games have often been decided at the last minute and by small margins.[5] Nine of the games between 1996 and 2006 were decided by five points or less.[6]
When the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), of which both schools are members, reorganized in 2005 to form divisions for the sport of football, Clemson and Georgia Tech were designated as cross-division rivals.[7] This means that their football teams meet every season, unlike their other non-divisional conference opponents, which are played less often on a rotational basis.
In the 2009 season, both teams won their respective divisions of the ACC. For the first time in the series' history, the two teams met for a second time in a season on December 5, 2009 in the ACC Championship Game. The game marked the first ever December meeting between the two teams, as well as the first post-season meeting. It was also the first time the series has been played outside of Atlanta or Clemson since 1899. Georgia Tech won 39–34, however the NCAA later vacated the last 3 games of Georgia Tech's 2009 season along with the ACC Championship. The NCAA ruled starting WR Demaryius Thomas should have been ruled ineligible ahead of the previous game for accepting $312 worth of clothing from a potential agent. While the offense was minor, the individual was never proven to be an agent, and the clothing had been returned, the NCAA ruled that Georgia Tech prepared the players for statements and was generally uncooperative with the NCAA investigation. Therefore, all games following the offense have been vacated, including the 2009 ACC championship game with Clemson.[8]
In the 2011 season, both teams started 6–0. The match-up was highly anticipated until Georgia Tech stumbled losing two straight games, at Virginia and at Miami (FL). The game was 6–2 Georgia Tech hosting 8–0 #5 Clemson. This game was the 2011 Georgia Tech homecoming game and also the only time the two teams have ever met with the College Football Belt on the line. Clemson entered the game with the Belt after defeating previous national champion Auburn earlier in the year. Georgia Tech upset the Tigers 31–17 and claimed the College Football Belt for the first time in its history.[9] After the game, Clemson fell out of the Top 10 and Georgia Tech became ranked, at #22.
