Linda Price of Radford and her family have four season tickets for Virginia Tech men's basketball games.

They made it to only one nonconference game this season, though. For the games they passed up, they either gave their tickets to neighbors or, if there were no takers, their seats were empty.

But this is not the time of year when Longwood or Maryland- Baltimore County comes to Cassell Coliseum. This is not the time of year when holiday shopping or football occupies fans' time.

This is the time of year for ACC basketball games, the reason the Prices became season-ticket-holders.

So when defending NCAA champ North Carolina visited Feb. 4, Price and her family were part of the nearly full house.

And when rival Virginia pays a visit at 8 p.m. today, it's a safe bet the Prices will be part of a capacity -- or close to it -- crowd.

"We go to them all," Price said of the ACC games on Tech's schedule. "We want to see the ACC.

"My husband actually went to Duke, so that's why we got the tickets originally -- so we could see Duke."

Tech men's basketball tickets were easy to come by back when the Hokies belonged to the Atlantic 10 or the Big East -- even on most game days.

That changed once the Hokies joined the ACC in 2004. Tech sold out of season tickets in its first five seasons in the league.

This year, Tech sold 6,410 season tickets -- about 200 shy of the allotment, which assistant athletic director Sandy Smith blames on the economy. So those 200 seats were made available to buy as single-game tickets, and all were bought before the season.

By comparison, only 2,231 season tickets were sold for the 2002- 03 season, the team's next-to-last year in the Big East.

Of course, not all of the 9,847 seats at Cassell Coliseum go to season-ticket-holders. The rest go to corporate sponsors, the visiting team or are set aside as single-game tickets for Tech students.

That doesn't mean that Cassell is always packed, of course.

There are plenty of no-shows for nonconference games. There were even empty seats at last month's home game against Boston College, which doesn't have the cache Breitling Replica Watches of longtime ACC members.

Tech doesn't count no-shows, but Smith said the number of empty seats at Tech's nonleague games was "comparable" to most ACC schools.

"I'm really pleased with our crowds, quite honestly," coach Seth Greenberg said. "Our nonconference schedule, we've had great crowds compared to years past in terms of ... people coming."

Jim Gear of Salem has owned a season ticket since Tech was a Big East member.

He attended only two of the eight nonconference home games this season. Sometimes his seat would go empty if he couldn't find somebody who wanted his ticket.

Jay and Linda Muscatello of Christiansburg have owned season tickets since Tech's first year in the ACC. This season, they haven't missed a game -- since Christmas.

"It's easier not to come when football's still going on," Jay Muscatello said. "We're big football fans, too. When I'm wrapped up in one sport, I don't get as wrapped up in the other one."

Roundup: Freeing RMB exchange rate not necessarily beneficial to U.S.: economist

by Xinhua Writer Yang Lei

NEW YORK, Jan. 20 (Xinhua) -- Pressing for adjustment in the Chinese Renminbi's (RMB) exchange rate will not get rid of the trade imbalance between the United States and China, a U.S. economist said Wednesday.

"I am not convinced that a free flow would necessarily be beneficial to either the U.S. or Chinese economy," Michael Woolfolk, who teaches International Economics at New York University, commented at Xinhua's question during the Eighth Global Economic Outlook hosted by Dow Jones Indexes.

Woolfolk serves as Senior Currency Strategist at Bank of New York Mellon, which has been ranked the first in the world for currency research by trade magazines Global Finance and Global Investor in their latest annual surveys.

Woolfolk acknowledged the U.S.-China trade relation "is a complicated issue, perhaps one of the most complicated issues with respect to global financial markets."

Replica fendi wholesale As a result of the financial crisis, the global imbalance problem "has largely become a trade imbalance" problem between two countries, "a bilateral problem between the U.S. and China," he added.

Noting that Europe and the United States have been pressuring China to appreciate the RMB, Woolfolk doubted it is an ideal solution to the trade imbalance.

"Even we had a market clearing rate right now, perhaps 25 percent higher from where it is now with respect to the Chinese currency, there is still a vast difference in the cost of labor in the U.S. versus China," he said.

"We'll still be buying products from emerging markets, maybe not China, but from neighboring countries," Woolfolk said. "We will not necessarily be buying them from American producers."

The solution, rather than the foreign exchange, he said, is to encourage more Chinese investment in the United States. "(Encouraging China to) invest in U.S. securities market, not just our treasuries but broadly foreign direct investment, and to buy more of our exports," Woolfolk said.

Economists and analysts at Wednesday's panel agreed that there would be a rise of tension between the two countries, because even the recession has passed, the modest economic recovery still isn't able to bring down the high unemployment rate.

"As long as there is persistently high unemployment, it is going to affect consumer confidence,...and politics," Kevin Logan, an independent global economist and member of the National Association for Business Economics, told Xinhua.

"People will look for either a scapegoat, or a solution that is not going to cost anyone here anything, but will cost someone else," Logan said.

Logan said whenever and wherever there are downward pressures on wages and incomes with a high unemployment rate, it usually leads to rising protectionism in trade.
