Wed, 14 May 2008 04:19:18 PDT
The man who oversaw the launch of Terminal 5 at London Heathrow Airport is to quit his job.

With postseason seeding at stake, Georgia prevented a sweep by the Yellow Jackets and won their fourth straight game over their rival at Turner Field. Nick Montgomery’s shaky start led to an early 1-0 Tech lead, but he settled down in impressive fashion to give up only two hits over five innings. Georgia got solid p
