Strong tidal forces of a binary give rise to gaps that separate circumstellar (CS) disks from the circumbinary (CB) disk. We discuss two important processes that involve binary/disk interactions. The first is eccentricity evolution of a binary embedded in a disk. The second is accretion of gas across the gap that separates CS and CB disks. These results may also have implications for the recently discovered planets. \end{abstract} \end{document}
