The 2004–05 UEFA Champions League group stage matches took take place between 14 September and 8 December 2004. The group stage featured teams qualified by their league positions and others who had come through qualifying; the 32 teams were divided into four pots. Pot 1 comprised the previous year's the top seven clubs in the team ranking. Pot 2 contained the following eight clubs in the rankings and for Pots 3 and 4; each group contained one team from each pot. A team's seeding was determined by the UEFA coefficients. Clubs from the same association were paired up to split the matchdays between Wednesday. Clubs with the same pairing letter would play on different days, ensuring that teams from the same city did not play on the same day. During the group stage, each team plays the other three teams in their group twice; the top two teams with the most points or who meet the tie-breaking criteria progress to the first knockout round. The third placed side entered the UEFA Cup in 2005. Based on paragraph 4.05 in the UEFA regulations for the current season, if two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings: higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question.

Times are CET/CEST, as listed by UEFA. With Dynamo Kyiv leading 1–0, the match was abandoned at half-time after referee Anders Frisk was hit by an object thrown from the crowd. UEFA awarded Dynamo Kyiv a 3–0 win and ordered Roma to play their next two European games behind closed doors. 2004–05 UEFA Champions League knockout stage 2005 UEFA Champions League Final Fixtures and results at UEFA.com

In Greene County, SR 107 went through downtown Tusculum along Erwin Highway, it has since been rerouted along US Route 11E/US Route 321 and the "Tusculum Bypass" a five lane road on the east side of Tusculum, it becomes Erwin Highway on the southeast side of the city; the former alignment is now an Unsigned Business Route. It Begins on the east side of Greeneville at US 11E/US 321 and travels through downtown Tusculum past Tusculum College and ends at mainline SR 107 on the southeast side of Tusculum. Beginning in 2010 Improvements were made to SR 107's intersection with SR 351/State Route 107 Cutoff just south of the city of Tusculum in Greene County and a traffic signal was installed; the work was completed the following year.

In 2010, the City of Tusculum and the Tennessee Department of Transportation approved improvements to the Tusculum Bypass and Edens Road intersection. The work is said to start in 2014; the work was completed in late September 2014, with flashing beacons. As of May 21, 2015, SR 107 was rerouted in Erwin from Jonesborough Road to an

The Heavy Tank T30 was a World War II American tank project developed to counter new German tanks, such as Tiger I, Tiger II, tank destroyers, such as the Jagdtiger, or Soviet heavy tanks, such as IS-1 or IS-2. The T30 was designed at the same time as the T29 Heavy Tank. Plans for four pilot heavy tanks were put forward in 1944; the T30 pilot models were started in April 1945 and were delivered in 1947. Apart from modifications to fit the different engine, the chassis was the same as the T29; the 155 mm gun fired separate loading ammunition. The loader was assisted by a spring rammer; the T30 was fitted with one of the largest guns used on an American tank. The notably high, rounded edge, turret was needed to accommodate the standing loader and large gun mount; the gun could only be loaded at limited elevations. It could carry a mixed assortment of HE rounds. One pilot model, designated T30E1, had an automatic system added to load the ammunition; this brought the gun breech into position, loaded the round and returned the gun to the initial angle.

An additional hatch at the back of the turret was added for the automatic ejection of the empty shell casings. The weight of the shell was 43 kg and the charge 18 kg, a total of 61 kg for the whole round, which made it difficult to handle and gave it a rate of fire of only two rounds per minute when manually loaded. There are surviving examples in Georgia. One surviving T30 is at the Detroit Arsenal in Warren, MI. Another is at Fort South Carolina. Notes SourcesHunnicutt, R. P.

Serge Haroche is a French physicist, awarded the 2012 Nobel Prize for Physics jointly with David J. Wineland for "ground-breaking experimental methods that enable measuring and manipulation of individual quantum systems", a study of the particle of light, the photon; this and his other works developed laser spectroscopy. Since 2001, Haroche holds the Chair of Quantum Physics. In 1971 he defended his doctoral thesis in physics at the University of Paris VI: his research had been conducted under the direction of Claude Cohen-Tannoudji. Serge Haroche was born in Casablanca, Morocco, to Albert Haroche, from a Moroccan Jewish family, Valentine Haroche, née Roubleva a teacher, born in Odessa to a Jewish family of physicians who relocated to Morocco in the early 1920s, his father, a lawyer trained in Rabat, was one of seven children born to a family of teachers who worked at the École de l’Alliance israélite. Both paternal grandparents of Serge Haroche had been AIU students in their respective hometowns of Marrakesh and Tétouan.

Haroche settled in France in 1956, at the end of the French protectorate treaty. He lives in Paris, he is the uncle of French singer -- actor Raphaël Haroche. Haroche worked in the Centre national de la recherche scientifique as a research scientist from 1967 to 1975, spent a year as a visiting post-doc in Stanford University, in Arthur Leonard Schawlow's team. In 1975 he moved to a professor position at Paris VI University. At the same time he taught in other institutions, in particular at the École polytechnique, MIT, Harvard University, Yale University and Conservatoire national des arts et métiers, he was head of the Physics department at the École normale supérieure from 1994 to 2000. Since 2001, Haroche has been a Professor at the Collège de France and holds the Chair of Quantum Physics, he is a member of the Société Française de Physique, the European Physical society and a fellow and member of the American Physical Society. In September 2012, Serge Haroche was elected by his peers to the position of administrator of the Collège de France.

On 9 October 2012 Haroche was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, together with the American physicist David Wineland, for their work regarding measurement and manipulation of individual quantum systems. Haroche works in atomic physics and quantum optics, he is principally known for proving quantum decoherence by experimental observation, while working with colleagues at the École normale supérieure in Paris in 1996. After a PhD dissertation on dressed atoms under the supervision of Claude Cohen-Tannoudji from 1967 to 1971, he developed new methods for laser spectroscopy, based on the study of quantum beats and superradiance, he moved on to Rydberg atoms, giant atomic states sensitive to microwaves, which makes them well adapted for studying the interactions between light and matter. He showed that such atoms, coupled to a superconducting cavity containing a few photons, are well-suited to the testing of quantum decoherence and to the realization of quantum logic operations necessary for the treatment of quantum information.
