This article appeared in the star 23/1991 under the title "The blood on your hands". On the occasion of the anniversary of the last victims of the wall, we publish it again. The contribution gives the knowledge from the spring of 1991.
The order to shoot: at Least 209 people are trying to escape across the inner-German bordered to the West between 1961 and 1989, shot, or of mines and self-shot plants have been killed. The Berlin justice wants to pull apart the political leaders now also the individual death to be accountable. 38 are already known by name. The star spoke with the border guards, which have made the last fatal shots at the Berlin wall, and still excellent.
could be, would be. Would, could. Would … would … could … Mike Sch. is 26 years old. He might be a happier person: Nice wife, two little boys, six and four years old, neat and tidy apartment in a Dresden new area, a good Job as a router. Since one and a half years, he may select whom he pleases, and go where he wants. Mike Sch. could his life be happy. If it is not again and again these tormenting thoughts home searched, all of which begin with:. Would be. Could.
Would have chosen this Boy, however, only one other escape route … I Would be on this evening, just not with it … Could I make the boy alive again … And then this horrible dream that repeats itself again, short and intense, and always the same. "I see the flashing alarm light on the border, and how the red glow in the metal lattice fence." That's all. Then wakes up Sch. sweat flooded and the night lives once again from the 5. on the 6. February 1989, in which he, the corporal, the border troops of the GDR, young people mitgetötet and his own life has made a mess of.
Chris Gueffroy was 20 years old and had a big dream: to get out of this narrow, stuffy country as far as had travelled, who had made a beach holiday at lake Balaton. Chris wanted to go to America. On 5. February, 1989, Chris and his friend Christian G., 21 o'clock on in the direction of the wall. In Berlin-Treptow, you want to swim across the Teltow canal to the West. The night is cold, just a degree above Zero. Chris and Christian seals about two hours at the controls, passing through allotments, to overcome the first, three meters high, the "inner security wall", run through the barrier with a trip wire to the ditch in front of the last fence. All of a sudden it is daylight. Call: "Stop! Stand still!" It's 23.39 PM. The two races more. Shots pop, whole volleys. On the fence Chris makes his friend a "boost". Again Shots. From.
almost 30 years Ago, the Berlin wall fell, but still don't seem to all the sections detected. A new piece of walkers in the district is noticed in the middle. It is said to have contributed as part of the run-up to the backup wall to secure the actual wall.
Christian G. is lucky in misfortune: He is only hit in the right foot. In may 1989, an East German sentenced him-court to three years in prison for attempted escape from the Republic in a severe case. Chris Gueffroy has ripped a shot to the heart muscle. He dies, according to the death certificate, on 6. February to 0.20 PM. The 20-year-old waiter is three-quarters of a year before the fall of the Berlin wall, the last victims of the inner German border – and killed by men, only a little older than he, of the border guards, Andreas K., Ingo H, Peter S. and Mike Sch.
together, dropped Mike Sch sits. in his living room armchair, the face is ashen, and describes how he is this evening of the 5. February has experienced. He had seen with his comrades, Ingo H. from the guard tower at the Britzer Allee from the truck with the replacement and on the way down, when suddenly the alarm light was blinking. Because Sh knew., his great desire had burst: the one and a half years of service at the border without a "serious case" through. He knew that "border violators" had touched the trip-wire. And he knew that he had to stop them by all means.
Mike Sch. the post was a leader, was allowed to Ingo H. commands. He does not know whether be would have fired a subordinate, even without the prompt. He can't even say why he pulled the trigger himself, though he had his gun already in Hand. He knows only: Ingo H. scored. And the man that had formed at the fence, a "robber ladder", slumped to the ground.
for 28 years, two months and 26 days Germany was divided by the Berlin wall. Exactly how long has it been now, that the fall of the wall put the whole Republic in a frenzy of joy. The Ostbeauftrage Iris Gleicke nevertheless sees large pent-up demand in the former Eastern region.
How many people wanted towers built between August 1961 and November 1989 in the West, at about 1,900-Kilometer-long demarcation line between the GDR and the Federal Republic of soldiers were shot, or in the mine fields were killed – one knows at least exactly: Erich Honecker. The ruler of the GDR received up to the last detail message about any of the dead to his "anti-fascist protection wall". But the Supreme Republic of a refugee is silent in his Moscow exile. And already all of the files haven't showed up yet.
78 Dead should have it at the Berlin wall, and a further 131 along the GDR border. The dark figure is probably much higher. Because the Stasi, whose "administration 2000" was looking for every by force of arms prevented the border breakthrough and evaluated, was to cover up where it was. So the intelligence officers In to the left formations, the presence of the star, in 1987, two men were shot from the West go unnoticed – in – the-wall, hidden in a Berlin crematorium to be burned. These two dead appeared, up to today, in any victim statistics.
in the Meantime, the Berlin-based "working group-a government crime" in 153 cases against border guards, the refugees are injured or killed, some additional procedures are at the public Prosecutor's offices of various German Federal States pending. 38 death of the Berlin judiciary to protect known by name. Mike Sch. and his three comrades.
in the course of this year, says justice spokeswoman Jutta Burghart, hope the public Prosecutor's office, "the investigation in one or other case complete". In the case of a conviction, a term of imprisonment of not less than five years for manslaughter, threatening the perpetrators. Is arrested, however, still none.
Honecker's accomplices in the shooting command, the former SED-sizes Hans Albrecht, Heinz Kessler, Erich Mielke, Willi Stoph, and Fritz Streletz sitting since the beginning of last week, is in custody. Detention reason: incitement to manslaughter.
at The wrong time in the wrong place?
The news of the arrests, acknowledged Mike Sch. with a shrug of the shoulders. What good will it do to him that now, at last, to actually be responsible for the killings be held accountable? He must continue to live with the (Self-)accusation, to be a "wall-killer", because he has given a command.
Mike Sch. is perpetrators, but also victims of the regime, the men, women and young people left to shoot, the just wanted to from one country to the other. Mike Sch. says he's been "broken". He just had more bad luck than most of his comrades: He was standing just at the wrong time in the wrong place.
Stasi, CIA, Mossad and co.
The abduction of a Vietnamese from Germany brings light on the shady dealings of agents – including the Federal Republic of Germany was again the scene of disappearances.
at this time, the first in East Berlin, of course, already since the 13th century. August barricaded and strictly guarded border between the two German States died. 24. August tried to swim Günter Litfin, the Humboldt harbour to the Western shore. Just before he reached his target, was shot and killed the 24-Year-old.
"was The report and the oral presentation taking into account the remarks of Comrade Erich Honecker," it says, "the full consent given." The fact of the accusation "incitement to manslaughter" against Albrecht, Kessler, Mielke, Stoph and Streletz is based.
The memorial for the victims of the Berlin wall will be extended. An exhibition area will complement the Area of the Bernauer Straße.
to make A written statement to the troops "reckless use of his weapon", has never existed. That was the GDR rulers too risky. They are afraid to be caught. Because again and again even soldiers, took classified documents to the "other side" – piled. Even the service provision 018/0/008 of 5. August 1974 on the "application of the border troops to secure the state border – the use of the firearm" was distributed only in 3524 copies of higher-ranking officers. "The use of the firearm", says the paper, "is, in principle, with "Stop! The border post! Hands up!" to announce. The request is not complied with, to issue a warning shot. Also this warning is unsuccessful, conduct aimed fire." The Rangers were drilled, among other things, on the Bössel, a mountain in Suhl.
keep On the Golf course in Germen village, he learned the Address of a border infringer, the contraction of the guards, the arrest. Geschossen was only on the shooting range, with the Kalashnikov, during the day, when the sun is low, in the dark, and Mike Sch. was a pretty lousy shot.
thousands of glowing balloons, which had been placed along the former Berlin wall, stolen, have ascended in the evening sky. Previously have to create the rioters and thieves.
of Course, you have entertain yourself in the comrade circle of the shoot in the "serious case". They all hoped to hit only the legs. But did you know that it would be in the dark and at a distance, and in the excitement, very difficult.
And in addition shoot? Or not shoot? That would have been a serious breach of the regulations, threatened with penalties. It began with blame and ended with "Schwedt". The Name of the military prison was not a deterrent. For not shooting it would have been a lot of "Schwedt". Now the Shooters have to reckon with a prison sentence for a crime that they have brought before two years in prison.
Ingo H., 25, carpenter, repeatedly for a half hour stereotype the phrase: "I say first in front of the court again." His wife stands next to him in the hallway. She says quietly: "we earlier asked, how it comes to us, and not now. We had to be quite alone." By H.'s ball Chris G. is believed to have been killed.
"Then we made a normal arrest," says Mike Sch. the minutes after the shooting. He acts as though he had to hold on to this Textbook-phrase, to tilt with the head on the table. Later, after Chris Gueffroy and Christian G. are removed, Sch. and the three other Rangers of their weapons. Officers are in control of the Magazine, and count the remaining cartridges. Mike Sch. will not be asked why he had shot. He doesn't know it, is in shock, is "completely finished".
40 years Ago, Christa Steenvoordens daughter died in the bathtub of her grandparents. Your body never saw it. An exhumation is to create certainty. However, the authorities Stonewall. Juliane might still be alive?
What then comes, disgusts him. "One or two days of special leave and the power badge, associated with a premium of 150 marks of the GDR." He has only "sick of it". To not know it at the time, Chris Gueffroy, is dead. He learns only later, and rather casually by a sub-officer.
note 2019: The triggerman was sentenced after the fall of the wall, ultimately, to a suspended sentence. He had stood in the hierarchy at the very bottom. The rest of the border guards were spoken after the Revision of the Federal court of justice.
After Gueffroy in 1989 yet another victim of, in connection with the Berlin wall. On 8. March crashed a 32-Year-old with a self-built balloon in Berlin-Zehlendorf, after he had already overcome the GDR border.
In Berlin, died after the wall went up, from 13. In August 1961, according to scientific findings, at least 140 people by the GDR border regime. In a study, according to the German-German border, at least 327 people were killed, were the last to come in doubt. Parts of the completed research project should be reviewed.

Q: Profiling Rust with execution time for each *line* of code? I have profiled my Rust code and see one processor-intensive function that takes a large portion of the time. Since I cannot break the function into smaller parts, I hope I can see which line in the function takes what portion of time. Currently I have tried CLion's Rust profiler, but it does not have that feature.
It would be best if the tool runs on MacOS since I do not have a Windows/Linux machine (except for virtualization).
P.S. Visual studio seems to have this feature; but I am using Rust. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/profiling/how-to-collect-line-level-sampling-data?view=vs-2017 It has:

Line-level sampling is the ability of the profiler to determine where in the code of a processor-intensive function, such as a function that has high exclusive samples, the processor has to spend most of its time.

Thanks for any suggestions!

EDIT: With C++, I do see source code line level information. For example, the following toy shows that, the "for" loop takes most of the time within the big function. But I am using Rust...

A: To get source code annotation in perf annotate or perf report you need to compile with debug=2 in your cargo toml.
If you also want source annotations for standard library functions you additionally need to pass -Zbuild-std to cargo (requires nightly).

A: Once compiled, "lines" of Rust do not exist. The optimiser does its job by completely reorganising the code you wrote and finding the minimal machine code that behaves the same as what you intended.
Functions are often inlined, so even measuring the time spent in a function can give incorrect results - or else change the performance characteristics of your program if you prevent it from being inlined to do so.

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football team represents the Georgia Institute of Technology in the sport of American football. The Yellow Jackets team competes in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Coastal Division of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). Georgia Tech has fielded a football team since 1892 and, as of 2017, has an all-time record of 735–502-43 (a .591 winning percentage).[11] The Yellow Jackets play in Bobby Dodd Stadium at Historic Grant Field in Atlanta, which has a capacity of 55,000.
One of the most successful college football programs over a long history, the Yellow Jackets have won four national championships across four different decades (1917, 1928, 1952, 1990) as well as sixteen conference titles. Among the team's former coaches are John Heisman, for whom the Heisman Trophy is named, and Bobby Dodd, for whom the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Award and the school's stadium are named. Heisman led the team to the most lopsided game in football history, 222–0, and both Heisman and Dodd led Tech's football team to national championships. Dodd also led the Jackets on their longest winning streak — 8 straight games — against the University of Georgia in Tech's most time-endured rivalry, called Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate. For his part, Heisman led Georgia Tech to an undefeated 12–0–1 record in the Georgia Tech–Clemson football rivalry and what made it sting even more was that Heisman had previously coached Clemson.
A number of successful collegiate and professional football players have also played for Tech. The program has 48 first-team All-Americans and over 150 alumni who have played in the NFL. Among the most lauded and most notable players the school has produced are Maxie Baughan, Calvin Johnson, Demaryius Thomas, Keith Brooking, Joe Hamilton, Joe Guyon, Pat Swilling and Billy Shaw.
In the twenty-first century, Georgia Tech has won their Coastal Division and appeared in the ACC Championship Game four times since 2006. In addition to its conference and national championships, legendary coaches, and talented players, Tech's football program has been noted for its many bizarre traditions and improbable game finishes throughout the years.
Tech began its football program with several students forming a loose-knit troop of footballers called the Blacksmiths. On November 5, 1892, Tech played its first football game against Mercer University. The team lost to Mercer 12–6 in Macon, Georgia.[1] Tech played two other games during their first season and lost both of them for a season record of 0–3. Discouraged by these results, the Blacksmiths sought a coach to improve their record. Leonard Wood, an Army officer and Atlantan, heard of Tech's football struggles and volunteered to player-coach the team.[13]
Over the span of 1892–1903, Tech only won 8 games, tied in 5, and lost 32.[14] In 1893, Tech played against the University of Georgia for the first time. Tech defeated Georgia 28–6 for the school's first-ever victory. The angry Georgia fans threw stones and other debris at the Tech players during and after the game. The poor treatment of the Blacksmiths by the Georgia faithful gave birth to the rivalry now known as Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate.[15][16]
In 1902, Jesse Thrash was the team's first All-Southern selection. He began the season as a sub and closed it as the undisputed star of the Tech team.[17] Oliver Jones Huie was selected by Ga Tech's athletic association to coach the football team for the 1903 season when the team won 3 and lost 5 games. A professional coach was desperately needed if Tech wished to build a truly competitive football program. The first game of the 1903 season was a 73–0 destruction at the hands of John Heisman's Clemson; shortly after the season, Tech offered Heisman a coaching position.
John Heisman put together 16 consecutive non-losing seasons, amassed 104 wins, including three undefeated campaigns and a 32-game undefeated streak. From 1915 to 1918 Georgia Tech went 30–1–2 and outscored opponents 1611 to 93 utilizing his jump shift offense.[2] He would also muster a 5-game winning streak against the hated Georgia Bulldogs from 1904–1908 before incidents led up to the cutting of athletic ties with Georgia in 1919.[15]
Heisman was hired by Tech for $2,250 a year and 30% of the home ticket sales. Heisman would not disappoint the Tech faithful as his first season was an 8–1–1 performance, the first winning season since 1893.[18] One source relates: "The real feature of the season was the marvelus advance made by the Georgia School of Technology which burst from fetters that kept it in the lowest class for ten years."[19] His team posted victories over Georgia, Tennessee, University of Florida at Lake City, and Cumberland, and a tie with his last employer, Clemson. He suffered just one loss, to another first year coach, Mike Donahue of Auburn.
The 1905 team went 6–0–1. The 1906 team beat Auburn for the first time. Stars of this early period for Tech include Lob Brown and Billy Wilson. The 1907 and 1908 teams were led by "Twenty Percent" Davis.
Pat Patterson was All-Southern in 1910. Patterson was captain in 1911, a season in which future coach William Alexander was a reserve quarterback. Heisman helped students construct Grant Field in 1913, when Alf McDonald was quarterback. The 1915 team went undefeated.
Arguably the most notable game of Heisman's career was the most lopsided victory in college football history. In 1916, Cumberland College ended its football program and attempted to cancel a scheduled game with Heisman's Jackets. Heisman, however, was seeking vengeance for a 22–0 baseball loss to Cumberland in the spring of 1916, a game in which Heisman suspected Cumberland of hiring professional players to pose as Cumberland students. Heisman refused the game's cancellation and Cumberland mustered up a group of commonfolk to play Tech.[20] Tech won 222–0.[21] Neither team achieved a first down other than a touchdown, as Cumberland either punted or turned the ball over before a first down and Tech scored on almost every play from scrimmage.[20] Jim Preas, Tech's kicker, kicked 16 point after tries, which is still a record for a single game.
In 1917 Tech won its first national championship behind the backfield of Everett Strupper, Joe Guyon, Al Hill, and Judy Harlan. It was the first national title for a Southern team, and for many years the "Golden Tornado" was considered the finest team the region ever produced. Strupper and captain Walker Carpenter were the first two players from the Deep South ever selected first-team All-American.
Heisman challenged Pop Warner's undefeated Pittsburgh team to a decisive national championship game, but he declined. In the next season of 1918, Tech lost a lopsided game to Pitt 32–0. Center Bum Day became the first player from the south selected for Walter Camp's first team. In 1919, Auburn upset Tech for the SIAA crown. By 1919, Heisman had divorced his wife and felt that he would embarrass his wife socially if he remained in Atlanta.[22] Heisman moved to Pennsylvania, leaving Tech in the hands of William Alexander.[23]
William Alexander had attended Georgia Tech and after graduating as valedictorian of his class in 1912, taught mathematics at Tech and served as Heisman's assistant coach.[23] In 1920, he was given the job of head coaching Tech's football team. He retained and Heisman's shift and in his first season he saw Tech win an SIAA title behind captain Buck Flowers, the first Georgia Tech played inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Tech suffered its only loss again to Warner's Pitt, and finished the season with a win over rival Auburn.[24][25] Tackle Bill Fincher made Camp's first team All-America.[3]
The 1921 and 1922 teams also claimed SIAA titles. The 1921 team suffered its only loss to undefeated, eastern power Penn State. Tech was captained by fullback Judy Harlan. Future Tech fullback Sam Murray was asked about a certain strong runner in the 1930s, "He's good. But if I were playing again, I would have one wish – never to see bearing down upon me a more fearsome picture of power than Judy Harlan blocking for Red Barron."[27] Barron ran for 1,459 yards on the season.[28]
From 1923 to 1925, though Tech failed to claim a conference title, it had one of its best-ever players: fullback Doug Wycoff, "the outstanding back of the South for the past two years."[29] Coach Alexander recalled "The work of Douglas Wycoff against Notre Dame two years in succession was brilliant in the extreme, as was his plunging against Penn. State when we defeated them twice."[30][4] Tech and UGA renewed their annual rivalry game in 1925 after an eight-year hiatus. Quarterback Ike Armstrong thought the game clock read five seconds remaining in the game when in actuality it was five minutes. Williams set up his offense for a field goal and kicked it to put Tech up 3–0 on first down. Luckily for Williams, Tech won 3–0.
In 1927, Alexander instituted "the Plan." Georgia was highly rated to start the 1927 season, known as the "dream and wonder team", and justified their rating throughout the season going 9–0 in their first 9 games. Alexander's plan was to minimize injuries by benching his starters early no matter the score of every game before the UGA finale. On December 3, 1927, UGA rolled into Atlanta on the cusp of a national and conference title. Tech's well rested starters were helped by the rain and shut out the Bulldogs 12–0, ending any chance of UGA's first national title, while netting the SIAA title.[32]
Alexander's 1928 team amassed a perfect record and won the school's second national title. The team was led at center by captain Peter Pund and upset Notre Dame. "I sat at Grant Field and saw a magnificent Notre Dame team suddenly recoil before the furious pounding of one man–Pund, center", said legendary coach Knute Rockne. "Nobody could stop him. I counted 20 scoring plays that this man ruined."[33] The 1928 team was also the very first Tech team to attend a bowl game. The team was invited to the Rose Bowl to play California.[5] The game was a defensive struggle, with the first points scored after a Georgia Tech fumble. The loose ball was scooped up by California center Roy Riegels and then accidentally returned in the wrong direction. Riegels returned the ball all the way to California's 3-yard line. After Riegels was finally stopped by his own teammate at the 1-yard line, he was swarmed by a group of Tech players. The Bears opted to punt from the end zone. The punt was blocked and converted by Tech into a safety giving Tech a 2–0 lead.[6] Cal scored a touchdown and a point after but Tech would score another touchdown to win the game 8–7. This victory made Tech the 10–0 undefeated national champion of 1928.[34][35][7]
Coach Alexander found campus spirit to be particularly low following the Great Depression. His successful football program (and the other athletic teams) had very few student fans attending the games. He helped to establish a spirit organization known as the Yellow Jacket Club in 1930 to bolster student spirit.[37] The group would later become the Ramblin' Reck Club. The 1939 team was SEC co-champion.
The only retired jersey in Georgia Tech football history is No. 19.[38] The number belonged to Tech halfback Clint Castleberry. Castleberry played on the #5 ranked 1942 Tech team as a true freshman and was third place in the 1942 Heisman Trophy voting. After ending his freshman year at Tech, Castleberry elected to join the war effort and signed up for the Army Air Corps. While co-piloting a B-26 Marauder over Africa, Castleberry, his crew, and another B-26 disappeared and were never heard from again.[8] Castleberry has been memorialized on Grant Field ever since, with a prominent No. 19 on display in the stadium.[38]
The 1943 and 1944 teams won SEC titles. Coach Alexander finally retired in 1944 after winning 134 games as head coach and taking Tech to the Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl, Cotton Bowl Classic, and Sugar Bowl. To this day, Alexander has the second most victories of any Tech football coach. The record for most coaching victories in Tech history is still held by Alexander's then coordinator and eventual successor Bobby Dodd.
Bobby Dodd took over the Georgia Tech football program following Coach Alexander's retirement in 1944. Dodd's coaching philosophy revolved around player treatment and character development.[40] He did not believe in intense physical practices but rather precise and well executed practices. Dodd's philosophy translated to winning. He set the record for career wins at Tech at 165 career coaching wins including a 31-game winning streak from 1951–1952.[40] He also managed to capture two Southeastern Conference Titles and the 1952 National Title, which concluded a 12–0 perfect season and Sugar Bowl conquest of previously undefeated, seventh ranked Ole Miss[40] in a season that also included victories over Orange Bowl champions, 9th ranked, Alabama; 15th ranked Gator Bowl champions Florida Gators football; 16th ranked Duke; and a 7–4 rival Georgia. While 9–0 Michigan State would capture the AP and UP titles, the Yellow Jackets' were ranked first in the International News Service poll.
Dodd also understood the deep-seated rivalry with the University of Georgia. His teams won 8 games in a row over the Bulldogs from 1949–1956 outscoring the Bulldogs 176–39 during the winning streak.[41] This 8–game winning streak against Georgia remains the longest winning streak by either team in the series. Dodd would finish his career with a 12–9 record against the Bulldogs.[41]
Dodd's tenure included Georgia Tech's withdrawal from the Southeastern Conference.[40] The initial spark for Dodd's withdrawal was a historic feud with Alabama Crimson Tide Coach Bear Bryant.[42] The feud began when Tech was visiting the Tide at Legion Field in Birmingham in 1961. After a Tech punt, Alabama fair-caught the ball. Chick Granning of Tech was playing coverage and relaxed after the signal for the fair catch. Darwin Holt of Alabama continued play and smashed his elbow into Granning's face causing severe fracturing in his face, a broken nose, and blood-filled sinuses. Granning was knocked unconscious and suffered a severe concussion, the result of which left him unable to play football ever again. Dodd sent Bryant a letter asking Bryant to suspend Holt after game film indicated Holt had intentionally injured Granning.[42] Bryant never suspended Holt. The lack of discipline infuriated Dodd and sparked Dodd's interest in withdrawing from the SEC.
Another issue of concern for Dodd was Alabama's and other SEC schools' over-recruitment of players.[42] Universities would recruit more players than they had roster space for. During the summer practice sessions, the teams in question would cut the players well after signing day thus preventing the cut players from finding new colleges to play for. Dodd appealed the SEC administration to punish the "tryout camps" of his fellow SEC members but the SEC did not. Finally, Dodd withdrew Georgia Tech from the SEC in 1964.[42] Tech would remain an independent like Notre Dame and Penn State (at the time) during the final four years of Dodd's coaching tenure. In 1967, Dodd passed the head coach position to his favorite coordinator, Bud Carson. Dodd simply retained his athletic director position, which he had acquired in 1950. He would not retire from athletic directing until 1976.
Bud Carson was Tech's defensive coordinator in 1966. His job was to appease the Tech fan base Bobby Dodd had accumulated. Carson was not the charismatic leader like Dodd but rather a strategy man that enjoyed intense game planning. Carson's most notable achievements included recruiting Tech's first ever African American scholarship athlete and being the first Tech head coach to be fired.
Carson recruited Eddie McAshan to play quarterback in 1970.[43] After several Summer practices, McAshan won the starting quarterback job and became the first African American quarterback to start for a major Southeastern university.[43] This decision initially polarized Georgia Tech's fan base, but after winning his first 4 starts and leading Tech to a 9–3 season after three straight 4–6 seasons, McAshan won the hearts of the Tech faithful. McAshan's besting of UGA in the annual rivalry game made McAshan a fixture on campus. The following season, however, led to Carson's demise. In 1971, Tech went 6–6 and a fan base used to Bobby Dodd's 8 wins per season average forced Carson out by James E. Boyd's hand. Carson went on to form the Steel Curtain Pittsburgh Steelers defense.
Bill Fulcher supplanted Bud Carson. Fulcher appeared to be the right choice but quit after two seasons, overwhelmed by racial incidents. Fulcher's tenure included a terrible feud with Eddie McAshan, which peaked before the 1972 UGA game. McAshan had requested additional tickets for the game so that his family could attend. Fulcher refused the ticket request and McAshan sat out of practice in protest.[43] Fulcher responded by suspending the quarterback for the UGA game and the upcoming Liberty Bowl. The story exploded on the national scene when Jesse Jackson attended the UGA game, allowing McAshan to sit with him outside of the stadium in protest.[43]
Pepper Rodgers was hired soon after Fulcher quit. Rodgers was hired away from the UCLA Bruins and like Carson and Fulcher, simply could not return Tech to its national prominence of Dodd's era, and after six seasons, Rodgers had accumulated only 34 wins and barely a 50% winning percentage.[44] Rodgers flamboyant demeanor shortened his welcome at the school, and Athletic Director Doug Weaver replaced him with Bill Curry. Homer Rice became Athletic Director and attempted to reinvigorate Tech's program by joining the Atlantic Coast Conference in 1980.
Curry had no experience as a head coach but was a refreshing change after the flamboyant Rodgers. Curry's early years saw Tech reach its lowest point in modern history. His first two Tech teams from 1980–1981 went 2–19–1, with the only bright spots being a brilliant 24–21 victory over Bear Bryant's Alabama team at Legion Field to open the 1981 season and a 3–3 slug fest in 1980 with then No.1 rated Notre Dame at Grant Field. Things had gotten so bad, they could only get better.[45] He slowly rebuilt the team, restored a winning mentality to the Georgia Tech fan base, and in 1985 Tech won 9 games, including a 17–14 victory over Michigan State in the All American Bowl.
Tech's 1984–1985 teams featured the "Black Watch" defense. The Black Watch defense was created by defensive coordinator Don Lindsey and featured linebackers Ted Roof and Jim Anderson, safety Mark Hogan, and lineman Pat Swilling.[46][47] The elite defensive players were awarded black stripes down the center of their helmets and black GT emblems on the side of their helmets.[47] Curry's leadership and ability to build a winning program sparked interest from the Crimson Tide and Alabama hired Curry away from Tech in 1986. After Curry's departure, Tech hired the talented Maryland Terrapins Coach Bobby Ross, who departed a Maryland athletic program in turmoil after the Len Bias tragedy.
Bobby Ross came from Maryland after winning three ACC titles over four years. Ross' first season at Tech experienced a severe talent vacuum after Curry's departure, and the players Ross inherited resisted the changes he demanded. The team only won two games, and Ross contemplated ending his coaching career after a humbling loss to Wake Forest in 1987. Ross decided to remain at Tech and continued to rebuild Tech's program. The turning point came in 1989 with the recruitment of Shawn Jones and several other key freshman. After two seasons and only five total wins, Jones helped the Jackets rebound at the end of the 1989 season.[48]
In Jones' sophomore season, Tech powered through their schedule and won the ACC. The four-game unbeaten streak in 1989 extended all the way through 1990 and into the 1991 Citrus Bowl. The key victory in the streak was a huge 41–38 come from behind upset victory over then No.1 ranked Virginia in Charlottesville before a nationwide TV audience. Tech demolished Nebraska 45–21 in the 1991 Citrus Bowl, finishing the season 11–0–1, and earning a share of the 1990 National Title with the Colorado Buffaloes.[49][50]
Tech's winning streak ended against Penn State in the 1991 Kick Off Classic. Ross and Jones never replicated that 1990 season but managed to win 8 games in 1991 making Shawn Jones one of the most heralded quarterbacks in Tech history. Ross was offered a head coach position after the 1991 season for the San Diego Chargers, which he took.[51] After first considering Ross assistant coaches, Ralph Friedgen and George O'Leary, Tech hired Bill Lewis away from East Carolina soon after Ross' departure.
When Lewis was hired, the Tech faithful hoped he would continue to build on Ross' success. He had just led East Carolina to an 11–1 record and a final ranking of ninth in the nation. However, Lewis' first season at Tech in 1992 saw the Jackets collapse to only a 5–6 record just two years removed from a national championship. Preseason All-American Shawn Jones suffered from nagging injuries, leaving Tech's offense inept. After Jones' fourth year ran out, redshirt freshman Donnie Davis stepped in to fill his shoes in 1993, which saw another 5–6 season. In just two years, Lewis had completely squandered the successful momentum established by Bobby Ross.
During the Summer of '94, George O'Leary was rehired as defensive coordinator. With Davis injured in spring practice, Lewis recruited Tom Luginbill as his replacement. Luginbill was a proficient passer at Palomar College, a junior college in California, and his first two games in 1994 showed promise. Tech almost upset Arizona who was projected as the No. 1 team in the nation by Sports Illustrated and won 45–26 over Western Carolina. However, Tech lost its next six games before Lewis was fired with three games remaining in the season. O'Leary was named interim coach for the rest of the season. They lost their final three games, including a 48–10 drubbing at the hands of Georgia. Despite this, Tech dropped the "interim" tag from O'Leary's title and named him head coach in 1995. O'Leary's first season saw Senior Donnie Davis return as starter and Tech won 6 games. O'Leary's second season saw the emergence of Joe Hamilton as starter when Brandon Shaw struggled in his first two starts. Hamilton would eventually lead the Jackets back to bowl contention and Tech attended its first bowl in six years, the 1997 Carquest Bowl.
Hamilton's prowess as a runner and passer thrilled the Georgia Tech fans. Offensive coordinator Ralph Friedgen utilized a complex offense with Hamilton that featured option football mixed in with complex timing routes. Hamilton racked up yardage, touchdowns, and wins for Tech. In 1998, Hamilton and Tech's high powered offense won 10 games and a season ending victory over Notre Dame in the Gator Bowl. Hamilton's senior year put him on the national stage. He was a leading candidate for the Heisman Trophy against rushing phenomenon Ron Dayne. Hamilton passed for over 3,000 yards and rushed for over 700 yards.[52] But while Hamilton dazzled, the Georgia Tech defense was a liability (they allowed around 28 points per game), and may have ultimately cost Hamilton the 1999 Heisman Trophy. In a late-season, nationally televised game against Wake Forest, Tech gave up 26 points and Hamilton threw two interceptions and no touchdowns. As an indirect result, Dayne went on to win the Heisman (Joe was runner-up). Hamilton's Georgia Tech career ended on a sour note in the 2000 Gator Bowl against the Miami, where the Jackets lost 28–13.[53] The following season, redshirt junior George Godsey, a more traditional pocket passer, succeeded Hamilton at the helm of Tech's powerful offense. The drop-off was minimal—Godsey continued where Hamilton left off, winning 9 games in 2000 and 8 games in 2001. In 2000, Godsey also led Tech to their third straight victory over the archrival Georgia Bulldogs.[54]
The end of the 2001 season saw George O'Leary entertain a coaching offer from Notre Dame after Bob Davie announced resignation as Irish head coach. O'Leary was eventually awarded the position, but it was revoked shortly thereafter when Notre Dame discovered that O'Leary had fabricated several aspects of his resume. He claimed to have played three years for the University of New Hampshire and to have attained a master's degree from New York University; in actuality, he had attended NYU but did not graduate, and he never played a down of New Hampshire football.[55][56] Following O'Leary's departure, Mac McWhorter was named interim head coach for Georgia Tech's bowl game, a victory over Stanford in the 2001 Seattle Bowl. The following spring, Chan Gailey was hired to replace O'Leary as Georgia Tech's head coach.
Chan Gailey came to Georgia Tech in 2002 after head coaching stints with the Dallas Cowboys, Samford Bulldogs, and Troy Trojans. Gailey's first team in 2002 managed to win seven games under the quarterbacking of A.J. Suggs. The most notable game of the 2002 season was an upset of National Title Contender North Carolina State. Georgia Tech rallied in the fourth quarter to upset NC State and end Philip Rivers's Heisman Trophy hopes. In 2003, eleven Georgia Tech players were found academically ineligible.[57] Despite the academic losses and the playing of true freshman Reggie Ball, Gailey would lead Tech to a seven-win season and humiliation of Tulsa in the Humanitarian Bowl. P.J. Daniels racked up over 300 yards rushing in the effort.
2004 and 2005 saw Georgia Tech improve talent and skill wise but Tech won seven games again. Star Calvin Johnson arrived as a true freshman in 2004. His performance against Clemson in 2004 helped cement Johnson's place in the annals of all-time Tech greats. Two off-the-field problems affected the Yellow Jackets' 2005 season. First, Reuben Houston, a starting cornerback, was arrested for possession of over one hundred pounds of marijuana. Houston was dismissed from the football team immediately following this arrest but a later court order forced Coach Gailey to allow Houston to return to the team. Houston would see little playing time following the court order.[58][59]
At the end of the 2005 season, an NCAA investigation found that eleven ineligible players had played for the Yellow Jackets between the 1998 and 2005 seasons.[60] These players played while not making progress towards graduation on the NCAA-approved schedule. The football victories for that season were initially revoked, and Georgia Tech was put on two years of NCAA probation. Twelve football scholarships were stricken from Georgia Tech's allotment for the 2006 and 2007 freshman classes.[61] The Georgia Tech Athletic Department appealed this decision by the NCAA, and the records were restored but scholarship reductions and probation remained.[62] Athletic Director Dave Braine retired in January 2006, and Dan Radakovich was hired as Athletic Director.
Gailey's most successful year at Georgia Tech was in 2006 with nine victories and the ACC Coastal Division championship. The Yellow Jackets football team reached its first New Year's Bowl since the 1999 Gator Bowl and played the West Virginia Mountaineers in the Gator Bowl. Tashard Choice led the ACC in rushing yards and Calvin Johnson led the ACC in receptions and receiving yardage. After an impressive 33–3 victory at Notre Dame to open the 2007 season, the team slid to finish 7–6. On the morning of Monday, November 26, 2007, Gailey was fired from the Yellow Jackets, two days after another heartbreaking loss to the University of Georgia.[63]
The Yellow Jackets' Athletic Department hired Paul Johnson, then the head coach at Navy and former Georgia Southern head coach, as Gailey's replacement on December 7, 2007.[64]
On Friday, December 7, 2007, less than two weeks after Georgia Tech announced the firing of Chan Gailey, Paul Johnson was announced as the new Georgia Tech head football coach.[64] Johnson was hired under a seven-year contract worth more than $11 million. Johnson immediately began installing his unique flexbone option offense at Georgia Tech.[65] By the regular season's end, Johnson had led the Yellow Jackets to a 9–3 record including an ACC Coastal Division Co-Championship and a 45–42 win in Athens, Georgia over arch-rival UGA, Tech's first win against the Bulldogs since 2000.[66] In recognition of his accomplishments in his first season, Johnson was named 2008 ACC Coach of the Year by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association as well as the CBSSports.com coach of the year.[67][68]
Several weeks after Johnson's defeat of rival Georgia, Georgia Tech rewarded Johnson with a new contract worth $17.7 million, a 53% raise that made him the second highest paid coach in the ACC before he had even completed his first year in the conference.[69] In 2009, Johnson led the Yellow Jackets to historic wins over Florida State in Tallahassee, No. 4 Virginia Tech (breaking an 0–17 losing streak to top five opponents at Grant Field in the past 47 years), and Virginia in Charlottesville. The jackets went on to defeat the Clemson Tigers to make them ACC champions, a title that would be vacated on July 14, 2011, due to NCAA infractions.[70] The Yellow Jackets went on to lose to Iowa in the Orange Bowl, 24–14. Georgia Tech had another significant win over the No. 5 Clemson Tigers on October 29, 2011, giving the Tigers their first defeat of the season and enabling QB Tevin Washington to rush for 176 yards on 27 carries and a touchdown, breaking a school record.[71] In 2012, Georgia Tech was declared the winner of the ACC Coastal Division on November 19, 2012, clinching it with a victory over Duke 42–24 and finishing with a 5-3 ACC record. Georgia Tech played against Florida State in the 2012 ACC Championship Game, which was coach Paul Johnson's second appearance in the title game. The Yellow Jackets lost to the Seminoles 21–15.[72][73][74]
The 2014 Yellow Jackets, despite being predicted to finish 5th in Coastal Division by ESPN, garnered a 10–2 regular season record (6-2 ACC),[75] including wins over then No. 19 Clemson and No. 9 Georgia to finish the regular season ranked No. 11 by the recently created College Football Playoff Committee. The highlight of the season was an overtime thriller that lead to the defeat of the Bulldogs in Athens, featuring Harrison Butker's 53-yard field goal that sent the game into overtime, a 1-yard rushing touchdown by RB Zack Laskey, and a game clinching interception of UGA quarterback Hutson Mason's throw by cornerback D.J. White.[76] Georgia Tech met No. 4 Florida State in the 2014 ACC Championship Game in Charlotte, North Carolina, losing 37–35.[77] Following their conference championship, Florida State was chosen in the top four (ranked No. 3), under which circumstance the Orange Bowl selected Georgia Tech (now No. 12) as its replacement to face the No. 7 Mississippi State Bulldogs on December 31, 2014.[78] Justin Thomas led the Jackets to a dominating 49–34 win for the Yellow Jackets, finishing the season 11–3, No. 8 in AP poll and No. 7 in the American Coaches Poll.
The 2015 season showed the Yellow Jackets a 3–9 record, after numerous injuries throughout the entire year. Their only notable win was a 22–16 upset over No. 9 Florida State on Tech's Homecoming Night, when the Yellow Jackets blocked an attempted field goal by Florida State Kicker Roberto Aguayo, which was picked up by Lance Austin and returned for the game-winning touchdown. This was later coined the "Miracle on Techwood Drive".[79][80] 2015 year marked the first year since 1996 that Georgia Tech did not make a bowl appearance. The next year, 2016, marked a bounce-back season, with the Yellow Jackets, led by team captain Justin Thomas, posting a 9–4 record, including a win over Kentucky in the TaxSlayer Bowl. 2016 also saw a 28–27 victory over Georgia in Athens featuring a 14-point comeback in the 4th quarter topped off by a 6-yard TD rush on third down by Qua Searcy, with 30 seconds left in the game. The Yellow Jackets took a step back in 2017, finishing 5–6 (4–4 ACC) with close losses to Tennessee (42–41 in 2OT) at the Chick Fil A Kickoff Game in the newly constructed Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and at Miami (25–24). Despite starting the 2018 season 1–3, the Yellow Jackets rallied to finish the regular season 7–5. The most notable victory was that against rival Virginia Tech, making Georgia Tech the only conference opponent to win three consecutive games in Lane Stadium against Virginia Tech.[81] The season will end with the 2018 Quick Lane Bowl.
Johnson announced his retirement on November 28, 2018, effective following the team's bowl game.[82] Geoff Collins was named Johnson's replacement on December 7, 2018.[83]
Geoff Collins was announced on December 7, 2018, as the new head coach, to replace the retiring Paul Johnson, starting the 2019 season.[84] Collins was previously the head coach at Temple, defensive coordinator at Mississippi State, and Florida, and previously worked with Georgia Tech as a graduate assistant and recruiting coordinator.[85]

Georgia Tech has been named national champion seven times by NCAA-designated major selectors.[86] [] [87] Georgia Tech claims the 1917, 1928, 1952, and 1990 championships.[88] []
Claimed national championships
Georgia Tech has won sixteen conference championships, nine outright and seven shared. Their 2009 ACC championship was later vacated by the NCAA.[89][90]
† Co-champions ‡ Vacated by the NCAA
Georgia Tech has won five division championships, with four of those leading to an appearance in the ACC Championship Game.
† Co-champions
Georgia Tech has appeared in 45 bowl games and compiled a record of 25–20.[91] Georgia Tech's first four bowl game appearances, the Rose Bowl (1929), Orange Bowl (1940), Cotton Bowl Classic (1943), and Sugar Bowl (1944), marked the first time a team had competed in all four of the Major Bowl Games.[92]
† Interim
Home stadium
The Yellow Jackets play their home games at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Historic Grant Field in Atlanta, Georgia. Upon his hiring in 1904, John Heisman insisted that the Institute acquire its own football field. Grant Field was constructed to appease Heisman as well as bring a true home field advantage to Tech football.[93]
From 1893–1912, the team used area parks such as Brisbane Park, Ponce de Leon Park, and Piedmont Park as the home field.[94] Georgia Tech took out a seven-year lease on what is now the southern end of Grant Field, although the land was not adequate for sports, due to its unleveled, rocky nature. In 1905, Heisman had 300 convict laborers clear rocks, remove tree stumps, and level out the field for play; Tech students then built a grandstand on the property. The land was purchased by 1913, and John W. Grant donated $15,000 towards the construction of the field's first permanent stands; the field was named Grant Field in honor of the donor's deceased son, Hugh Inman Grant.[94][95]
The stadium now sits amongst a unique urban skyline and is among the oldest Division I FBS football stadiums. In fact, the only Division I stadiums older are Franklin Field at the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard Stadium.[96] Grant Field was natural grass until 1971. The astroturf was replaced by grass in 1995.[93] The stadium officially holds 55,000 but has held up to 56,412 in 2005[97] and 56,680 in 2006.[98]
On February 26, 2019, Georgia Tech officials unveiled plans to hold one home game per season from 2020 to 2024 (five games total) at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, located less than one mile from the Georgia Tech main campus.[99][100]
Logos and uniforms
The interlocking GT logo was created in 1967 at the request of Bobby Dodd. One of the varsity players was asked to design a logo for the helmets. Several variations of the design were submitted, including a yellow jacket design. The yellow jacket was not submitted because to make the insect look mean it would have to be stinging and therefore flying backwards. The interlocking GT was selected during the summer of 1967 and formalized into decals for the helmets. Over the years it became the official logo for Georgia Tech Athletics.[101]
When head coach Paul Johnson was hired in 2008, the Yellow Jackets adopted a new uniform style. One year later, the uniforms were altered to change the yellow to gold. A year after that, the uniforms were altered again. This time, the team adopted separate white uniforms for both home and away games, while retaining the previous styles' navy and gold jerseys for occasions when the Yellow Jackets could not wear white at home.
Georgia Tech's fight songs and cheers are tailored to belittle the Georgia Bulldogs, and the perennial catch-phrase for Georgia Tech fans for many decades has been "To Hell with Georgia". Georgia Tech and the Univ. of Georgia have played each other in football over 100 times (and hundreds more times in basketball, baseball, track and field, tennis, etc.) and this rivalry has become known as Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate. The annual football game is by far the most important game on the schedule for most Georgia Tech sports fans. The winner of this game takes home the Georgia State Governor's Cup. Georgia Tech trails Georgia in the all-time series 67–41–5 through the 2018 season.[102]
The Yellow Jackets have played the Auburn Tigers more than 90 times in football, and the series of football games between the two is the second-oldest in the Southeast. Auburn Univ. or A.P.I. is by far Georgia Tech's second-most-often played opponent in football.[103] The rivalry is also intense in basketball, baseball, etc.
This rivalry lost some luster when the Georgia Tech Athletics discarded its membership in the Southeastern Conference in 1963 to become an independent institute. However, the Yellow Jackets continued their annual series of football games with the Auburn Tigers through 1987, and with the University of Georgia though the present day. Georgia Tech and Auburn play football games in occasional years, and games in other sports regularly. Even though the Yellow Jackets have joined the Atlantic Coast Conference for all sports in recent decades, from a historical perspective, the Auburn Tigers are Georgia Tech's second-highest sports rivalry, behind only the Georgia Bulldogs.[103] Auburn leads in the all-time series 47–41–4 with the last game played in 2005.[104]
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and the Clemson Tigers have the fourth-most-played series in Georgia Tech football history. Clemson is Tech's closest opponent, geographically, in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Also, in the ACC's new two-division arrangement, each team has one football opponent in the opposite division which has been selected as the two teams' official cross-division rival that they play every year. The Yellow Jackets and the Clemson Tigers are one of these six pairs.[105] In addition to their geographical closeness and the Heisman connection, the Georgia Tech – Clemson pairing is also a logical one because of both schools' long history in engineering, technology, and science education. Recently, the game has become known for last-minute, extremely close finishes. From 1996 to 2001, each of the six games was decided by exactly three points.
In 1977 (before the Yellow Jackets had even joined the ACC), this football series was being considered for termination by the administration of Georgia Tech. Clemson football fans, in an effort to show their economic impact on the Atlanta, Ga., area, brought with them to Atlanta large stockpiles of two-dollar bills that were stamped with Clemson Tiger Paws.[106] Georgia Tech leads Clemson in the all-time series 50–31–2 through the 2018 season.[107]
The rivalry with Virginia Tech has grown considerably since Virginia Tech entered the ACC. In previous years, the teams played infrequently. The intra-conference game has often seen both teams ranked and the outcome has played a key part in determining the winner of the ACC Coastal Division. Since the ACC switched to Division format in 2005, the winner of this game has gone on to win the Coastal Division all but once, with VT winning six times and GT winning four times.[108] Dubbed the Battle of the Techs, the game has seen some very close, very intense match-ups.[109]
Virginia Tech leads the series 9–7 through the 2018 season.[110]
Georgia Tech and Tennessee hadn't met since 1987 until losing a heart breaking Labor Day game in Atlanta in 2017 that renewed the rivalry between the two.[111] When Georgia Tech was part of the Southeastern Conference they played annually. After Georgia Tech left the SEC in 1964, the teams still met until 1987. Tennessee leads the series 25–17–2 with the last game played in the 2017 season.[112]
Colors – Georgia Tech football features old gold and white uniforms with old gold helmets. Navy blue and black have been used as alternate jerseys. In 2006, Georgia Tech featured a throwback jersey based on Bud Carson-era uniforms. The jerseys were mustard gold and the helmets were white.
Songs – The fight songs for Georgia Tech are "Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech" and "Up With the White and Gold". If Georgia Tech scores a touchdown, then both songs are played. If Georgia Tech only kicks a field goal, "Ramblin' Wreck" is played. For some big plays, a shortened version of either song is played.
Nicknames – Georgia Tech football teams have had several nicknames over the years including the "Blacksmiths", the "Engineers", the "Golden Tornado", or just the "Techs". Officially, the teams are called the "Yellow Jackets" or the "Ramblin' Wreck".
Mascots – The "Ramblin' Wreck" and the yellow jacket "Buzz" are the mascots of Georgia Tech football. The "Ramblin' Wreck" is a 1930 Ford Model A Sports Coupe, and it has led the football team on to Grant Field every game since September 30, 1961.[113] "Buzz" began pacing the sidelines of Grant Field as a mischievous anthropomorphized yellow jacket during the 1970s.[114] "Buzz" was ranked the number three top mascot in all of college football by "America's Best" and the "Top Ten" Web site.[115]
Yellow Jacket Alley – "Yellow Jacket Alley" is an event staged before every game. It is a players' walk in which the team and coaches walk from the buses to the stadium, and the fans surround and cheer the walking players.[116]
Steam Whistle – An industrial steam whistle has been present on Georgia Tech's campus ever since the early industrial shop years. It typically was blown for the change of classes at five minutes before the hour. On football game days, the whistle is blown after every Yellow Jackets' score, and again after every Yellow Jackets' victory.[117]
Student Section – The student sections for the Yellow Jackets' home football games are primarily located in the North and South End Zones of Grant Field. Until the 2011 season, Flash Card displays were performed by the student section every football season since 1957. A semi-official student cheering section called the "Swarm" is located in the North End Zone adjacent to the marching band. The Swarm began in 1996.[118]
RAT Caps - Incoming Georgia Tech freshmen are referred to as RATs, which stands for Recruits At Tech, although in recent years the Student Government has begun incorrectly using Recently Acquired Tech Students. A RAT is encouraged to wear the gold colored beanie caps with the front bill worn turned up and bearing the students name, hometown, major, class year and the letters "RAT". A RAT should record the scores of each football game on the sides of their RAT Cap, written right side up for victories, upside down for losses, and sideways for ties. A RAT should write the "Good Word" on their caps: "To HELL with georgia". It is the responsibility of a RAT to know the fight songs, the Alma Mater, all of the cheers and the "Good Word". Before ACC conference regulations prohibited the practice, upperclassmen ordered "RATs on the field" before each home game, and RATs would line up in the end zone along both sides of the entry way from the locker room forming an alley way for the Ramblin' Wreck to drive through leading the team out onto the field. The ACC forced an end to this tradition after the 1980 season. The RAT cap tradition is most strictly observed by members of the marching band.
Marching Band - Even though Georgia Tech is a high-ranking Institute of Technology, and not a college of the arts and humanities, it still fields a 300+ member marching band at all home football games and Bowl Games. A smaller Pep Band attends road games which the full band doesn't attend. Among other songs, the Yellow Jacket Marching Band always plays the Georgia Tech fight songs and the Alma Mater, and in addition, it plays "When You Say Budweiser, You've Said It All" at the completion of the third quarter.
Individual achievements
Georgia Tech has had several players receive votes in the Heisman Trophy balloting. Eddie Prokop finished fifth in the 1943 Heisman voting,[119] Lenny Snow finished 14th in the 1966 voting,[120] Eddie Lee Ivery finished 8th in the 1978 voting,[121] and Calvin Johnson finished 10th in the 2006 voting.[122] Billy Lothridge is the only Tech player to receive votes in multiple years. He was 8th in 1962 and runner-up in 1963.[120] Clint Castleberry was the only freshman in the history of the Heisman to finish as high as third until Herschel Walker's third-place finish in 1980.[123] Castleberry and Walker, however, were both surpassed in 2004 by true freshman Adrian Peterson's Heisman runner-up season. Joe Hamilton tied Lothridge's runner-up status in 1999.[124]
Georgia Tech has fielded 50 First Team All-Americans. The first All-Americans at Tech were Walker Carpenter and Everett Strupper in 1917 while the most recent were Durant Brooks in 2007,[125] Michael Johnson in 2008, and Derrick Morgan in 2009, and Shaquille Mason in 2014.
Three Georgia Tech players have been awarded the highest collegiate award possible for their position. Joe Hamilton won the Davey O'Brien Award after his senior season in 1999, Calvin Johnson won the Fred Biletnikoff Award after his junior season in 2006, and Durant Brooks won the Ray Guy Award in 2007. Hamilton and Johnson were the only Tech players to be named ACC Player of the Year until Jonathan Dwyer received the honor in 2008.[126]
Georgia Tech has had three coaches and fourteen players inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame just down the street in Atlanta.[127][128] Coaches Heisman, Alexander, and Dodd were inducted in the 1954, 1951, and 1993 classes respectively.
Georgia Tech has over 150 alumni that have played in the National Football League.[129] Tech has had ten players selected in the first round of the NFL draft since its inception in 1937.[130] The first Georgia Tech player ever to be drafted was Middleton Fitzsimmons in 1937. He was drafted 2nd in the 10th round by the Chicago Bears.[131] The first Tech player selected in the first round was Eddie Prokop in 1945 and the most recent first round Yellow Jackets were Demaryius Thomas and Derrick Morgan in 2010.[130]
Two Yellow Jackets have been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.[132] Joe Guyon played professional football from 1920–1927. Guyon was a collegiate teammate of Jim Thorpe at Carlisle Indian Industrial School before transferring to Georgia Tech. His playing career began with the Canton Bulldogs and finished with the New York Giants. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in the class of 1966.[133] Billy Shaw played professional football for the Buffalo Bills from 1961–1969. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in the class of 1999.[134]

National Philharmonic of Ukraine Tours
The National Philharmonic of Ukraine first performed in Kiev in 1863 at a time when the city was flourishing as a trading city and playing an important role in the Russian Empire; by 1881 the orchestra had its own home, a mammoth concert hall built in stately style by Kiev architect Vladimir Nikolaev, who managed to create almost perfect acoustics, despite the diminutive size of the stage and its elegant auditorium. During the early years the National Philharmonic flourished and great names such as composer conductor Sergei Rachmaninoff and Russian opera singer Feodor Chaliapin played there. Somehow, despite all the political upheavals and enforced closures of the 20th century, the hall has survived; it was restored following a flood in the 1980s and reopened in 1996 with upgraded facilities and improved acoustics.
Today with a mixed repertoire of classical, chamber and choral concerts, folk music and jazz, the National Philharmonic is permanent home to the Kiev Symphony and Chamber orchestras. It has a colonnaded and galleried concert hall that is surprisingly intimate in size. Seats that are tucked behind the columns are positioned within view of giant screens so the audience can follow the action on stage.

Anton J. Steinbock, Dba Klamath Aircraft Service, Appellant, v. Ralph Schiewe, Bette Schiewe, His Wife, and Janicenechanicky, Appellees.ralph Schiewe and Janice Nechanicky, Cross-appellants, v. Anton J. Steinbock, Dba Klamath Aircraft Service, Cross-appellee, 330 F.2d 510 (9th Cir. 1963)
April, 6, 1964
Koerner, Young, McColloch & Dezendorf, John Gordon Gearin, and James H. Clarke, Portland, Or., for appellants-cross appellees.
Evans & Kennedy, Portland, Or., Samuel W. Fancher, Spokane, Wash., and Jack L. Kennedy, Portland, Or., for appellees-cross appellants.
Before ORR, CHAMBERS and BROWNING, Circuit Judges.
CHAMBERS, Circuit Judge.
The Schiewes and Miss Nechanicky were guests of Steinbock in his Piper Comanche airplane on the evening of August 14, 1963, at Klamath Falls, Oregon. The initial phases of take-off had been completed, the landing gear had been retracted, and the plane was climbing. At an altitude of about 75 feet above the airfield, the engine began to sputter. Steinbock attempted some emergency procedures which were unsuccessful. The plane crashed and the three quest passengers were injured.
Oregon has a guest statute1 insulating operators from claims brought by guests for simple negligence. The plaintiffs pleaded gross negligence when they brought this diversity action. The trial court sent the case to the jury. Verdicts were rendered for the plaintiffs as follows: Mrs. Schiewe, $12,000; Mr. Schiewe, $1,200; and Miss Nechanicky, $2,000.
Steinbock appeals on the ground there was no evidence of gross negligence. Mr. Schiewe and Miss Nechanicky cross-appeal on the ground their awards were unreasonably low. We affirm on both appeals.
As to gross negligence, we have reviewed the Oregon cases and we think the trial court's submission of gross negligence2 to the jury was permissible under those decisions.
The trial judge thought there was an issue of fact as to whether Steinbock took off without adequate gasoline in the left wing tank on which the plane commenced operation and that there was a question as to whether Steinbock's test for gasoline in the tank before starting the motor was adequate. Appellant fervently believes that his tests for quantity of gasoline in the tank were adequate and that the left gas tank had an adequate supply of fuel.3
After reading the transcript, we may have some doubt as an original matter on whether the left gas tank was almost dry, but the first question is whether the jury could reasonably find that the tank was almost dry and that this situation provoked the accident. About dusk before takeoff, the tank was inspected visually by Steinbock. The jury was entitled to find he should have used a stick or a flashlight.
But Steinbock says there was gas on the ground from the left wing tank sometime after the crash. The jury may have believed this small amount was enough to keep the tank from being bone dry, but not enough to provide a minimum level necessary for the fuel pump to supply gasoline to the motor.
Steinbock says the records of gas delivered to the plane, the flight log and the reading of the gas gauge acquit him. But those were questions for the jury. There was some evidence of grounds to suspect the record sheet on gasoline delivered and the claim of good order of the gauge. The jury may have thought the reason Steinbock made the visual inspection was that he knew the gauge was defective. We do not say he knew it, but the jury could properly say it.
If the jury reached the conclusion that a shortage of gasoline in the left wing caused the crash, we have little difficulty on the proposition that it was up to the jury to determine whether Steinbock exercised due care in his preliminary inspection and, if he did not, whether he was guilty of simple or gross negligence. Under the circumstances, we do not believe that here we are required to consider gross negligence further.
On the question of damages on which Mr. Schiewe and Miss Nechanicky cross-appeal, certainly the jury was not generous. He had $685.80 special damages and so his net general damages amount to $514.20 in his $1200 award. She had $827.85 special damages and so her net general damages amount to $1,172.15 out of her total of $2,000.
The issue of how much real damage they suffered was hotly contested. We have held that our power of review of damage is so limited that ordinarily we cannot do anything about it. We believe we can move when the award is monstrous in size or ridiculously low, but not otherwise. Southern Pacific Co. v. Guthrie, 9 Cir., 186 F.2d 926, and Union Pacific R. Co. v. Johnson, 9 Cir., 249 F.2d 674. In between, we have to sit still and let widely disparate verdicts pass. Here the two awards seem quite low, but we cannot say as a matter of law that they are ridiculously low.
In effect, what we have done, and believe we are required to do, is to give the jury the same latitude on damages as we gave it on gross negligence.
The parties will divide the cost of the transcript equally. Otherwise, each party will bear his own costs.
Judgment affirmed.
O.R.S. 30.120, now O.R.S. 30.115
See Williamson v. McKenna, 223 Or. 366, 354 P.2d 56; Burghardt v. Olson, 223 Or. 155, 349 P.2d 792, 354 P.2d 871; Nielsen v. Brown, 232 Or. 426, 374 P.2d 896; Gray v. Galantha, Or., 385 P.2d 746; State v. Betts, Or., 384 P.2d 198, 199
After the motor began to fail, it is possible that Steinbock could have avoided the crash by switching to the right fuel line. Also, there is some doubt as to whether, in distress, Steinbock manually handled the plane in approved ways which might have permitted a glide back to a safe landing. The jury was permitted to consider several items of alleged gross negligence in connection with the handling of the plane in the emergency. Defendant-appellant's attack is that there was no evidence of gross negligence. Under the pattern which the case and the appeal took, we are not here obligated to test each item of possible gross negligence submitted to the jury. One item properly submitted is enough as against the objections as here framed

Home/World News/Middle East/Syria/Why Daraa is Nominated?
Why Daraa is Nominated?
Expectations arise about a raging battle might occur in Syria's south between army units and armed groups, amid Western media reports referring to a Gulf and Western vigorous pursuit to make a breakthrough in the Syrian army field progress, ahead of any political resolution to the crisis.
West information suggests that Salman bin Sultan, brother of Saudi intelligence chief Bandar bin Sultan, supervises armed opposition groups training and financing. Sources in the Syrian opposition also confirm that Salman is leading the operations room in the Jordanian capital of Amman to guide the senior insurgent leaders jointly with Western and Jordanian intelligence agencies, in order to support militants' attacks against the Syrian army positions in the south (Daraa province), and make progress toward the capital to compensate for the failures suffered by armed groups active there.
Syria: Daraa province mapDaraa in Brief
Daraa, also called Horan Plain, stretches in the southern region covering an area of 3730 Km2 and housing around 916 thousand of population according to 2008 statistics. It occupies the first rank in producing state's vegetables and almost fulfills the country's needs of wheat.
The province includes a lot of major cities including Nawa, the second largest one after Daraa city, Jasem, Nemer, Enkhil, Kafr Shams, As-Sanamayn, Izraa, Sheikh Meskin, Al-Harak, Dae'l, Abtaa, Taibe, West Ghariya, Tafas, Khirbet Ghazaleh, Bakhet Monastery, Adas Monastery, East Ghariya, Sidon, Bosra al-Sham and others.
Patrons of the armed groups in Syria set a series of goals throughout the crisis to topple the government militarily, and many of them predicted a resounding fall after Homs battles in 2012.
Yet, after the Syrian army foiled a scheme prepared by Bab Amr neighborhood, insurgents and foreign parties turned to Aleppo, the nation's capital of economics. However, upon their failure, they resorted to the province of Damascus countryside where thousands of militants were mobilized to encircle the capital and seize control over it militarily.
Nevertheless, the rush of the Syrian army to launch 'Shield of Damascus' operation also foiled their scheme, following a series of quality achievements of military units in Eastern and Western Ghotas, including the control over gunmen strategic sites such as Otaibah, Adra, Shebaa, Tal Salman and others, which made the task of armed groups to enter the capital difficult.
Those difficulties forced domestic and foreign players to search for alternatives to achieve a breakthrough in a series of successes achieved by the Syrian army throughout the past months. Therefore, Daraa was nominated under the hope it may achieve the goal anticipated for insurgents and foreign parties supporting them.
Many Western and even Gulf newspapers revealed that military operations are being preparing to clench the capital starting from Daraa due to being:
1. Close to Damascus (Daraa is about 100 km away from the capital).
2. Adjacent to the Jordanian territories.
3. Adjacent to occupied Palestine.
4. Difficult to prevent militants and arms smuggling into the Syrian depth, given the vast borders.
5. Residence of armed groups in some locations on the border with Jordan, including the Old Customs.
6. Easy to provide logistical support for militants across the Jordan and the Zionist entity.
Those givens pushed the Western powers and some of the Gulf countries to intensify the training and arming of Syrian opposition groups across the camps set up for them in Jordan, according to several Western newspapers over the past months, such as the UK Times, the US Washington Post and the French Le Figaro.
Le Figaro published 'information' late August stating that Israeli, American and Jordanian officers leading a Syrian opposition battalion, have crossed the Jordanian border on August 17 and headed toward Damascus.
The article author, Isabelle Lasserre, said she drew her information from private military sources, though the Syrian group was composed of 300 men who present the vanguard of Syrian opposition force who have been trained in special forces camp supervised by the CIA.
Worth noting that the revealed information by Le Figaro and other Western newspapers, coincided with the announcement of the Syrian army for a series of ambushes targeting infiltration of militants, where dozens of insurgents have been killed, particularly in the area of Adra – Al-Damir, the insurgents gateway from Daraa to East Ghoua of rural Damascus.
Moreover, Western media reports talk about the vigorous U.S. – Saudi pursuit to increase support for opposition militants, as well as to intensify trainings in order to carry out attacks against the Syrian army positions in Daraa province, in which still retains a strong presence.
How do the U.S. and KSA support militants:
1. By feeding sectarian conflicts in the region
2. By smuggling foreign gunmen to support armed groups
3. By providing opposition with advanced weapons, including Konchris, Cornet and Arrow 8 rockets.
4. By training armed groups funded by Gulf states under the supervision of Westerners officers.
Another very important factor should not be ignored, which is the Israeli role in supporting insurgents, particularly in the southern region of Syria. The strategist Taleb Ibrahim confirmed that the center of gravity of those armed groups lies in the northern and western part of Daraa province, along the border with occupied Palestine.
"At that point, insurgents receive direct support from the Zionist enemy, where they evacuate their wounded and receive intelligence from Israeli reconnaissance planes and enemy observatories in Tal-Ali, al-Nada and Mount Hermon," Ibrahim told Al-Manar website in an exclusive interview.
Syria: strategist Taleb IbrahimBattle for Daraa
All of the information and indicators intersect at one fact: Daraa may be on the verge of fierce battle between Syrian army units and armed groups.
"The most difficult real conflict and final battle in the Syrian crisis will be in the region of Daraa. Battles that may erupt there will absolutely be the most important and the most dangerous due to the strategic importance of the province," Ibrahim added.
There is no doubt that the Syrian army has prepared itself for the confrontation that may occur in the south, not to mention the fierce battles it is engaged in on daily basis, as well as the strong military units presence in the area being close to the occupied Palestinian territories.
Taking reservations to talk about the military's plans in Daraa, Ibrahim stressed that "military units certainly have contingency plans to deal with any confrontation levied in the south."
No doubt that armed groups – with the foreign support – will not stop attempts in Daraa, but they will intensify efforts in the next period to achieve 'the desired progress', in order to compensate for the failures in rural Damascus and the Syrian north which witnesses fighting between the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) and the rest of the armed opposition groups.
The coming days will be enough to clarify the image of what might happen.

Q: Prove that $x-\frac{x^2}{2}<\ln(1+x)0$ with Taylor's polynomials $1$ and $2$ I have to prove the inequality, that
$x-\frac{x^2}{2}<\ln(1+x)<x$ for all $x>0$ with the use of $T_1(x)$ and $T_2(x)$.
I got that $T_1(x)=x$ and $T_2(x)=x-\frac{x^2}{2}$. I also got that $R_2(x)=\frac{2}{6(\xi+1)^3}$.
In the second task I had to prove the left inequality with monotony criteria, so I proved that $\left(x-\frac{x^2}{2}\right)'=1-x$ and $\left(\ln(x+1)\right)'=1/(x+1)$ and proved for all $x>0$ that $1-x>1/(x+1)$.
I had to prove the right inequality with mean theorem, but my group partner did that so I cannot explain how we did it.
I wrote that, because I have to prove the inequality with Taylor, that's why I openend a new question since the question has already be answered earlier but with our second way of proval.
Thanks in advance.

A: Let ${ \epsilon _1 (x) := \log(1+x) - x }.$ Note ${ \epsilon _1 '(x) }$ ${ = \frac{1}{1+x} -1 }$ ${ = \frac{-x}{1+x} }.$ So ${ \epsilon _1 (0) = 0 }$ and ${ \epsilon _1 '(x) \lt 0 }$ for ${ x \gt 0 }.$ Hence ${ \epsilon _1 (x) \lt 0 }$ for ${ x \gt 0 },$ that is ${ \log(1+x) \lt x }$ for ${ x \gt 0 }.$
Let ${ \epsilon _2 (x) := \log(1+x) - (x - \frac{x ^2}{2}) }.$ Note ${ \epsilon _2 '(x) }$ ${ = \frac{1}{1+x} - (1- x) }$ ${ = \frac{x ^2}{1+x} }.$ So ${ \epsilon _2 (0) = 0 }$ and ${ \epsilon _2 '(x) \gt 0 }$ for ${ x \gt 0 }.$ Hence ${ \epsilon _2 (x) \gt 0 }$ for ${ x \gt 0 },$ that is ${ \log(1+x) \gt x - \frac{x ^2}{2} }$ for ${ x \gt 0 }.$

A: Hint: $\xi >0$ since, by the Taylor's theorem with Lagrange's remainder, it belongs to the segment of endpoints $0$ and $x$ and by hypothesis $x>0$. Knowing this, you can estimate the quantities that depends on $\xi$.


Ms. Craig is not pleased.

More Kurdish families join anti-PKK sit-in in Turkey's Diyarbakır
TURKEY Anadolu Agency
"I got encouraged after seeing the protesting families here and joined them," Vahide Sunar, another Kurdish mother who attended the anti-PKK sit-in for for her son Ahmet Sunar, who was kidnapped by the PKK in 2014 in the Dicle district of southeastern Diyarbakir province, said in her comments to reporters on Monday.
More families on Monday joined a sit-in outside the provincial office of a Turkish opposition political party long accused by the government of having links to the PKK terror group.
The protest started on Sept. 3 after a mother, Fevziye Çetinkaya, said her 17-year-old son was forcibly recruited by the PKK through members of the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP).
Vahide Sunar, a mother who attended the sit-in on Monday, said she joined the protesting families for her son Ahmet Sunar, who was kidnapped by the PKK in 2014 in the Dicle district of southeastern Diyarbakır province.
"I got encouraged after seeing the protesting families here and joined them", Sunar said.
Noting that she has a special child to take care of, Sunar said she will keep on coming to the sit-in whenever she can.
Five Iranian families also joined the sit-in for their children -- who were kidnapped by the PJAK, the offshoot of the PKK terrorist group based in Iran.
Last month, another mother, Hacire Akar, staged a similar protest near the party's office. Her son returned home a few days later giving hope to a number of mothers who suffer the same circumstances.
In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU -- has been responsible for the deaths of some 40,000 people, including women, children and infants.
