Servier obtained a worldwide license to further develop and commercialize Nerviano Medical Sciences' first-in-class compounds inhibiting the protein kinase TTK/MPS1—an oncology target that has shown preclinical promise—in a deal that could net Nerviano up to €108 million (about $143.6 million), the companies said today.
In return, Servier agreed to pay Nerviano €8 million ($10.6 million) upfront, plus up to €100 million ($132.9 million) in option fees and payments tied to undisclosed clinical and regulatory milestones, in addition to royalties on the sale of licensed products.
Nerviano said it will complete the preclinical development of the lead candidate drug. Servier will bear all development and commercialization costs if it exercises its option—in which case, Nerviano agreed to continue supporting Servier for the early clinical development and supply of the licensed product.
"We have preclinical data, which suggest that TTK may represent an attractive therapeutic target in a poor prognosis-associated subgroup of breast cancer," Stéphane Depil, M.D., Ph.D., Servier's director of oncology R&D, said in a statement. "Combining our capabilities will accelerate the translation of our findings into the clinic."
Nerviano said it will complete preclinical development of a lead candidate drug, while Servier will bear all development and commercialization costs if it exercises its option. In that case, Nerviano said, it will continue to support Servier for the early clinical development and the supply of the licensed product.
Nerviano's pipeline includes several anticancer compounds in Phase I–II trials, including nemorubicin for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), danusertib for solid tumors and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and milciclib for thymic carcinoma in patients previously treated with chemotherapy.
Servier joins Roche's Genentech subsidiary, Pfizer, and Novartis among drug developers with which Nerviano has collaborations. Nerviano is indirectly owned by Italy's Regione Lombardia through the Regional Foundation for Biomedical Research.

Leona Forbes spends her days working in a marine research laboratory at the S.C. Department of Natural Resources. It's technical work that calls for focus, paying attention to details and discipline.
Class info
For class schedules, fees and additional information on adult beginner ballet classes, contact dance schools directly. Some schools in the Charleston area offering such classes include:Academy of Dance Arts Mount Pleasant. Visit academyofdanceartsmtpleasant.com or call 884-2983Ballet Academy of Charleston. Visit ballet-academy.org or call 769-6932Robert Ivey Ballet. Visit robertiveyballet.net or call 556-1343Trudy's School of Dance. Visit trudysdance.com or call 795-8660
Monday evenings find Forbes focusing, paying attention to details and exercising a certain amount of discipline, too. But she does it in a totally different place: the adult beginner's dance class at the Ballet Academy of Charleston.
"I am not necessarily a beginner, but because I am older, I am very happy to be doing beginning moves," says Forbes, who took ballet off and on as a child, then returned to it decades later.
Most adults like Forbes and others have no dreams of becoming highly trained ballet dancers. Nor do they have bodies perfectly formed for the dance.
They take the sessions for fitness.
"It's great exercise," says Forbes. "Ballet is very regimented. Physically, it works your core and helps to improve overall body strength. Mentally, it just makes you feel better."
The Ballet Academy of Charleston in West Ashley often gets adults who've never taken a ballet class before, says Corina Fimian, the school's director.
There are those who take it because they hear it is good for your posture, she says. Others have always been curious about ballet and finally decide to give it a try.
Fimian advises those who are new to ballet to wear their regular gym clothing until they know they will stick with it, she says. New students can even wear sweats if they are tight enough for the instructor to see whether they are moving properly.
But when it comes to shoes, it's a different matter, Fimian says. Wearing ballet shoes from the beginning is important.
Yvonne Gregory first took ballet lessons when she was 6 but stopped after five years. For the past six months, however, she's been taking ballet lessons at the Academy of Dance in Mount Pleasant. Gregory takes the class Wednesday nights and often can't wait to get there.
"It's a very fulfilling way to exercise, almost spiritual," she says. "You get in a different frame of mind when you do it. My goal is basically to get into the zone and enjoy it. You get the same calm you get from meditation. Afterward, you feel so great.
"I don't like the treadmill or the elliptical," says Gregory, who finds them unexciting. "There is no earthly way you could ever get bored doing ballet."
Gregory says she has more stamina and can dance longer than she once could. She and others in the class are careful about doing their best without going too far, and instructor Larisa Dahabi helps with that.
"We do what we can," she says.
The instructor warns the class if a move is going to be hard on their knees. She also shows them how to modify moves to make them more doable.
"I have learned to know my body," Gregory says. "If it's going to hurt, you don't do it; if you are pushing yourself, then you do it."
Gregory credits ballet classes and watching what she eats with helping her to shed seven pounds in three weeks.
Dahabi, who teaches Gregory's class, says there are about five women who were committed as children, stopped dancing for decades and now have chosen ballet as their preferred form of physical exercise.
"My preference is toward people who have had ballet," Dahabi says. "That is not to say I will not accept beginners. But generally they are not there (primarily) to learn ballet but for some kind of exercise. I give them a few private lessons first" to keep them from slowing the class down.
One of Dahabi's goals is to have the women in her adult beginner's class sweating, she says. When the class is over, she wants them to feel that they have had a good workout. Occasionally, she leads them through toning exercises after the ballet class ends.
"We don't focus so much on pirouettes; I try to accommodate for aging bodies, the knees and backs.
"I try to make it fun and exciting," she says.

These are five things that I want players to think about as they enter this season. If you are coaching this year I would like you to comment on other things that will help players this year too.
1. Attitude
As you enter this season you have to have the right attitude. You have to be willing to learn and ready to listen. If you have the right attitude, you will do a lot more of the small things without knowing it. I have one player on my team last year that had the best attitude. It really took me over a year to realize that it was his attitude that was the reason for his improvement.
2. Work Ethic
If you are willing to put in the hard work then the results will show. Apart of your work ethic is practicing the right way. You need to be aware of the time you have to get better and use it well. I understand you have a lot going on with your life, I went thought it, but when you make time to practice or have practice use that time to the fullest. Last year at the start of my season the guys on my team wanted to goof around a lot, I didn't mind it sometimes. But they didn't want to goof around during a drill or a time when we had to be productive. Some of the biggest improvers on my team last year were players that had a great work ethic. So, adjust your work ethic to make the most of this season.
3. Ability To Understand The Game
A problem with a lot of new teams or teams that aren't on the east coast or teams that aren't successful is they just don't understand the game that well. Everyone that plays lacrosse should always be learning about the game. That goes for coaches too. To understand you have to learn why teams do things. For a lot of newer and unsuccessful teams they don't understand the right way to play the game because they don't have the talent or personal to play lacrosse the right way. So, the first thing to do to understand the game is to ask questions to other coaches or players. You can always ask me, if I don't know I will do my best to find someone who can. After that watch a lot of lacrosse games to analyze what the teams are doing and why. And if you do understand the game pretty well, you need to help your teammates get a better grasp.
4. Communication
This is another area that you can always improve your game by being a better communicator. It is easy to think for yourself, but to play team defense takes a lot of work and communication. This communication develops on the practice field and translates to the game field the better you are at it. I also think you need to work on you communication with your coaches too. If you don't understand something they want you to get, talk to them about it when they have free time. They will help, because they teaching to something for a reason, which is to improve your game and help, the team win. If you communicate with you teammates off the field, about when you are going to practice on your own or training your team will get better faster. Keep the communication lines open so that your teammates know they can call on you for help too. You will find yourself practicing more, too.
5. Don't take things Personal
Trust me a good coach should tell you things that are going to make you mad. But, do not take it personal. As a coach I do want the players to like me, that is how I get them to push it when practice is rough. But, some players need to hear things about their game. An example is I always tell players to scoop a ground ball with two hands. We had a couple of kids I will yell at lot about this. I hope they didn't take it personal. I was just trying to make them and the team better. This is a good thing to know, you kids might think us coaches are out to get you but we aren't. We just want to help.
Try to improve in these five areas and I know your lacrosse game will improve greatly. Leave me a comment and tell me your results.

Possible LIRR Strike Puts Focus on Crowded 7 Trains at Mets-Willets Point
The express 7 train is already jammed at 7:45 a.m. most mornings when Natalie Vasquez squeezes on at Mets-Willets Point, just one stop into the Manhattan-bound route.
Come Monday, that squeeze could become even tighter of bus and carloads of displaced Long Island Rail Road commuters are brought to the station in the event of a union worker strike.
Already during morning rush hours, "you never find a seat," said Ms. Vasquez, a College Point resident who relies on the line to get to her job in Manhattan every day.
Riders on the morning 7 train say they're packed like sardines from Flushing-Main St., the eastern terminal, until transfer points at Queensboro Plaza, on the western end of Queens.
"On a really bad day, it gets so crowded that people are screaming to get on," Ms. Vasquez said.
The Mets-Willets Point station is the second stop after Flushing-Main Street and is located in Flushing Meadows Park. It ranks 304th in 2013 ridership out of 468 stations, according to MTA figures.
While the platform during the morning rush is often empty, the trains are mostly full after taking on passengers from the Flushing stop, ranked 13th in ridership in 2013, according to the MTA.
"You get lots of people taking buses to Main Street and getting on there," said an MTA bus driver who declined to give his name. "Whether it is morning rush or afternoon rush, it is jam packed."
If there is a strike, it would transform the quiet stop into an entry point for passengers shuttled from Manhasset, Deer Park and Ronkonkoma, according to the MTA's contingency plans.
It is also a staging point for carpools and park-and-ride commuters thanks to the lot at Citi Field.
Subway riders said their concerns show that an LIRR strike wouldn't just impact Long Island commuters, but commuters in Queens as well due to expected overcrowding.
Dawn Guevara, 34, also of College Point, said she worries Long Island commuters could overrun the $4-a-day lot where she trades her car for an express train into Midtown for work.
"It is going to be so packed, from Sunday night on," she said. "It is going to be a nightmare."

NORTH LIMA - An East Palestine man was killed in a head-on crash Wednesday night on state Route 7.
According to authorities, Joseph Flynn, 52, North Pleasant Drive, was southbound on Route 7 at about 9 p.m. when his car collided with a northbound vehicle driven by Leonilde Miranda, 80, of Youngstown. The crash occurred near the Mennonite Drive intersection in Beaver Township.
Township and Columbi-ana police shut down a portion of Route 7 at Pine Lake while emergency responders assessed the scene.
A helicopter was called in but not used, and Flynn and Miranda were instead taken by ambulance to St. Elizabeth Health Center in Youngs-town, according to reports.
Flynn was pronounced dead at the hospital. Miranda was last listed in critical condition as of Thursday.
The highway patrol is investigating the crash.

Research firm iSuppli released its global
statistics for the processor market. According to iSuppli, Intel holds a
massive 79.7% of the world's processor revenues leaving AMD with 10.9% of the
global processor revenue.
When the revenue numbers are compared to Q1 2007, Intel's revenue share in
the processor market has dropped by 0.7%. At the same time AMD has been able to
grow its share of the processor market revenue by 2.2%. According to iSuppli,
AMD's gain is a sign that consumers are responding better to AMD products.
ISuppli estimates that about half of AMD's growth in revenue market share
came at the expense of Intel and that the remainder came at the expense of the
smaller processor makers. ISuppli also says that average selling prices from
both Intel and AMD didn't decrease in the first quarter of 2008 signaling that
price wars between Intel and AMD have stopped.
Between Intel and AMD the two firms hold 92.7% of the total microprocessor
market worldwide estimated to be worth about $286.5 billion in 2008. Despite
the weakened U.S. economy, computer sales are still going strong.
ISuppli reported recently that PC
shipments in Q1 2008 increased by 12.1% globally.

To the south rises the hill of Ashrafiyyeh, while dead ahead (west), in the valley of the Sayl Amman, is an area known as Ras Al Ain ("Source of the Spring"). Here, just past an open colonnaded plaza known as Sahat Al Nakheel ("Palm Square") featuring a public fountain at its centre, stands the large, new Jordan Museum, due to have opened by the time you read this (though the project has been running years late, so it's hard to be sure). This sleek building houses the national archeological collection, as well as exhibits on Jordan's history and the story of the Hashemite royal family; the exact layout, though, had not been finalized as this book went to press. Expect halls to be designed thematically, with interactive displays and a strong educational angle. Partnerships established with global institutions including the Louvre are likely to ensure world-class exhibitions.

A new Transportation Security Administration initiative that lets trusted travelers bypass the airport screening line is on the verge of an ambitious expansion. By the end of the year, PreCheck, a government program that offers expedited screening to those who submit to an initial background check, is expected to be available in 35 airports.
Although many air travelers are fixated on how to score a coveted clearance, which would give them access to an express lane where they don�t have to remove their shoes or liquids or unpack their laptops, some already are starting to worry about retaining their PreCheck status. It might be harder than you think, and the implications for the future of travel are troubling.
Ximena Gonzalez knows. She recently contacted me about the mysterious loss of her Sentri status. Sentri is similar to PreCheck; it allows preapproved, low-risk travelers to use special express lanes at the U.S.-Mexican border. In fact, it�s so similar to PreCheck that U.S. citizens who participate in this 17-year-old program operated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection are automatically eligible for PreCheck.
Gonzalez, a Mexican citizen who lives in Tijuana, used Sentri regularly whenever she traveled to the United States. Then in February, a customs agent informed her that she and her entire family would have to surrender their cards, but he wouldn�t explain why.
A subsequent revocation letter from the government listed general reasons for stripping users of their Sentri benefits: for being convicted of a criminal offense or having pending criminal charges; for lying on the Sentri application; for violating customs or immigration laws. But none seemed to apply to her.
�I don�t have any kind of criminal record and never have broken any law,� Gonzalez told me. �I don�t even have any traffic fines.�
I suggested that she appeal her revocation to the agency�s ombudsman; the CBP denied her appeal, again without citing a specific reason. I contacted the CBP on her behalf, and it gave her a phone number to call. That proved to be yet another dead end, so I contacted the agency again.
Finally, we were able to arrange a meeting between Gonzalez and an agency representative. The agent explained that her record is clean but that �someone I know has gotten into trouble or is under investigation and that it affects me,� she said.
Gonzalez can�t figure out who is in trouble, and the CBP won�t offer more details. She is, for lack of a better term, guilty by association.
�I feel like I�m exactly where it all started,� she said. �I don�t know what�s happening and can�t defend myself because I don�t know who it is.�
The CBP representative also suggested that her revocation is permanent, meaning that from now on, she will have to wait in a two-hour line with other tourists when she wants to cross the border.
What do Gonzalez�s troubles have to do with PreCheck, which launched as a pilot program in October and is in use at 12 airports today? A TSA spokesman confirmed that loss of any other E-ZPass-like government program for travelers, such as Sentri, Global Entry or Nexus, will have similar repercussions for their PreCheck membership.
�If your card is revoked by CBP, you�re no longer eligible for PreCheck,� said Greg Soule, a TSA spokesman.
He declined to specify the reasons a traveler could be removed from the PreCheck list but said TSA offers a grievance process similar to the one used by people who have been placed on a terrorist watch list. The Travel Redress Inquiry Program, or TRIP, allows airline passengers to correct erroneous information in the Department of Homeland Security�s systems. The appeals process is outlined in a revocation letter, as it was for Gonzalez.
But these systems can be bureaucratic mazes. Consider what happened when Mary Ann Hoey inadvertently applied for the wrong program online; she�d meant to sign up for Global Entry but ended up clicking the Nexus button instead. (Global Entry lets you use a fast lane for U.S. Customs; Nexus allows you to expedite crossing the U.S.-Canadian border.)
Hoey, an education management professional in Chicago, phoned Global Entry, where a representative acknowledged that it�s a common problem for users to click on the wrong program on the agency�s website. But try as she might, she could not get a refund of her $50 application fee. One agency representative told her to write a letter. Another agreed to cancel her application but said that she couldn�t get her money back.
�I felt like I had fallen into the government black hole, never to return,� Hoey said.
I contacted the CBP on her behalf, and it refunded her $50.
I worry that thousands of air travelers who belong to PreCheck suddenly could find themselves cardless, with no idea how it happened. Sentri revokes about 2,000 cards a year, a number that has held relatively steady over the last five years.
Revocations such as Gonzalez�s raise other questions. If she�s off the Sentri list, can her family members still fly within the United States, or will they be flagged at the airport and given an extra screening, or maybe even turned away?
The message is a little confusing � and troubling. Some travelers are more trusted than others. But why? The government doesn�t have to say. Try to get an answer, and you might find yourself in a bureaucratic labyrinth from which there�s no escape.
As the TSA moves toward what it calls an �intelligence-driven, risk-based approach to security,� maybe it�s worth asking how intelligent some of its new systems really are.

Anger Management star Noureen DeWulf is in Sochi for the Winter Olympics. As she cheers on her husband, Team USA hockey goalie Ryan Miller, Noureen is blogging for PEOPLE. You can also follow her on Twitter and Instagram.
It's beautiful in Sochi. The weather is above 40 degrees. And my "Beijing-themed" hotel has plenty of hot water, which seems safe (results still pending).
I should thank Charlie Sheen my costar on Anger Management for letting me preshoot my scenes last week so I could come here and support my husband, Ryan.
It feels safe and the people seem very kind (though a little something got lost in the translation at dinner). My hotel room has two adorable twin beds, which I've put together to make a "full." There is also a tent set up for the families of the NHL players where we can use wifi and hang out together.
Last night right before midnight, I heard several large booms and I was really scared until I realized it was fireworks ... even so, I still didn't go onto my balcony to look. My hotel finished construction just yesterday so I wasn't sure how safe it would be to stand so high up outside!
Later I plan on getting an America-themed manicure when I go to the Olympic park and hopefully I can get a ticket to see some figure skating. More on that soon ...!

MIFFLINTOWN - Take one heartbroken couple, a mistaken pretzel order and faith in God, and what do you get?
The story of Auntie Anne's Soft Pretzel company and, from its success, a growing family counseling ministry.
While the company receives the name recognition, founders Jonas and Anne Beiler want their ministry, not their business, to be the purpose of their lives.
In 2005, the Beilers sold the international franchise to focus on their ministry, which currently serves families in two Lancaster County locations.
The Beilers will share their story and ministry at 9:30 a.m. Sunday at the River Church in the Central Juniata EMS Building, state Route 35, Mifflintown.
The Beilers' desire to reach hurting families began early in their marriage when their 19-month-old daughter died in a farming accident. Overwhelmed by their grief, the Beilers drifted apart, and Anne battled depression.
Agreeing to stay together because of their other two daughters, the Beilers lived as "silent partners who ... went through the motions of family life," according to their website, www.thebeilers.com.
"There were many days months and even years when I thought I was finished and life was over for us as a couple," Anne Beiler shared in an interview with The Sentinel. "The silent suffering we both experienced caused us to look to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith."
As they began to restore their marriage through counseling, the Beilers said, they also began to see many other families suffering with despair. Jonas felt God's calling to begin lay counseling, and his wife began a concessions stand to help support his work.
Her stand sold a bit of everything, but Anne's pretzels were the top seller. Her pretzel business grew and grew, eventually becoming the international franchise Auntie Anne's Soft Pretzels.
In 1992, the Beilers' ministry plans expanded when they opened the Family Resource and Counseling Center. In 2008, they opened a second center in Gap.
"Our experience has given us determination to help where we can," Anne Beiler said. "There's not a whole lot in our Society that is family friendly. We feel like we want to keep the banners of God and family waving to give hope to those who are struggling."
Jonas Beiler said they share with married couples that fulfillment comes from providing for each other with experiences that allow them both to become better people through the relationship.
Because of Anne's influence, Jonas Beiler said he is a better person than he ever could have been alone.
"For couples just starting out in marriage I would suggest that you remind yourself often that it is still more blessed to give than it is to receive," Jonas Beiler said. "Marriages may be made in heaven but the details are worked out here on earth. ... marriage works best when you work at it every day."
Anne Beiler's advice to young married couples is "Love God more than you love each other. If God is number one you will respond to each other with love and patience."

Perfect shower gift!! Review by Nicole
Price Value Quality
I bought five different designs of the baby legs and ended up giving away three as shower gifts and each person that I gave them to were so excited to receive them. My daughter is almost 2 so they fit her perfectly right now and look really cute with a skirt. I went into my sons room one morning (he's 3) and found him in a pair of baby legs, that was in the winter so he kept them on all day under his blue jeans. They're great for warmth and stylish on their own. Unfortunately I don't think they are very boyish so these are all for my daughter! (Posted on 7/5/10)Would you recommend this product to a friend?

Love Babylegs! Review by CINDY
Price Value Quality
I have bought some other legwarmer brands but nothing beats Babylegs for softness and stretch in my opinion. I have many pairs for my girls and now that I have a boy, I have some for him too! There are some great boy prints. They are great to add warmth without extra bulk in the cooler months. When babywearing, his pants often come up and these cover that gap! For girls they are perfect under a dress or skirt to make an extra adorable outfit. (Posted on 1/3/11)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!

Great Fun for the Money
by Gigity7 from Chicago, IL | September 16, 2012
This car is a blast to drive! Miatas already handle very well but the Mazdaspeed version ups the ante BIG TIME! The turbo kicks in around 3500 RPM and gives a nice pull to redline. Short throw 6-speed trans is fun but just a little tricky grabbing 5th or 6th in a hurry. The best part is how amazingly quick & predictable the steering is! This car a twisty road carver with few rivals. We've gotten 30 MPG on the highway to boot. Also a very comfortable interior for the small size. If you're patient & can travel to buy one deals DO occasionally come up on these cars. Act quick when they do--you won't regret it!

Great handling
by Edmeston81 from Winston Salem | October 10, 2011
The car handles like a dream. You can go around most corners as fast as you dare. It is geared low. Using high octane gasoline and getting only 27 to 29 miles to the gallon. But it is quick from the start. Bumpy roads make a rough ride. Cruise control is an option not included on most models. Between the last two, this is not a long trip car. I have only had the car for a few months, I have had no problems with the car. I had a 1992 which is still running. Miatas are very reliable.

Purchased the car new in spring of 2005. 78,000 miles to date. No problems! a real blast to drive. Handles like a dream. Quick with the accelerator. A little brutal on the highway. I wish it had cruise. Can't think of anything else I'd rather drive. Daily driver.

Zippy fun
by Kitster from Richmond, VA | October 25, 2010
It's not the fastest car on the road, but it handles like it's on rails and it's got plenty of zip to merge onto the interstate or pass on a 2-lane, and I get lots of compliments from middle-aged ladies. Upsides: Handling, looks, turbo, 6-speed. Downsides: Mysterious check-engine light, wish it revved a little higher, Bose stereo is resistant to all upgrades, uses more gas (premium!) than a car this small should.

Too much fun for mere mortals
by revvv from North Carolina | May 1, 2009
The regular Miata is a wonderful car, but if you really want to have fun, get the Mazdaspeed. It handles like few others, gets pretty good gas mileage, and has been absolutely bullet-proof on reliability. I've done a few simple modifications (changed exhaust and intake system) and I get 200hp at the rear wheels. You do the math- the car's only 2500 lbs. The best part is the "stealth" factor- everyone says "oh, the cute little Miata" until they are looking at its taillights!

Fundamental Concepts in Japanese and American Copyright Law
Dennis S. Karjala
Arizona State University College of Law
American Journal of Comparative Law, Vol. 36, p. 613, 1988
With the advent of the information age and the gradual breakdown of physical and legal barriers between nations, the differences in the type and scope of protection of information-based products from country to country becomes a matter of increasing concern to the legal community. The near dominance of Japan and the United States in computer and information-based products, especially computer software, and the already strong mutual economic dependence of the two countries will necessarily lead to steadily increasing exchange of intellectual property related to new technologies. Moreover, both countries have chosen copyright law as the primary vehicle for the legal protection of information-based products. Consequently, and understanding of the similarities and differences in copyright law between the two countries becomes a matter of increasing concern.
This article undertakes a study of the fundamental concepts of copyright protection under Japanese law and compares them to related concepts under the copyright law of the United States. Those concepts involve the nature of the works protected (including requirements for originality, creativity, and novelty), the scope of protection (including the idea/expression dichotomy and its relation to the nature of the work), proof of infringement, and fair use defenses. This article begins with an introduction to the relevant provisions of the Japanese Copyright Law, along with the corresponding provisions of the United States Copyright Act. Then it continues with an analysis of the reported cases in Japan that have interpreted the Japanese statutory provisions or similar provisions of earlier statutes. This case analysis is comprehensive, in that the authors have attempted to uncover all reported cases in Japan whose factual holdings are relevant to the fundamental conceptual topics under consideration. Where appropriate for comparative purposes, the article also discusses the case law in the United States.

No one can better bask in summer's balm than those who have endured winter's bite. Similarly, it is those who have suffered through life's darkest hours who are able to truly savor the bright dawn of happiness.

The North Carolina offensive playbook contains more than 100 pages and weighs nearly five pounds.

Senior offensive tackle James Hurst has spent hundreds of hours over the last two years studying it from cover to cover. Hurst figures there are between 200 and 250 plays available to the coaching staff on any given snap.
After a thorough analysis, Hurst can say with a certain amount of conviction that there's not a single "don't block Clowney" play in the Tar Heels' playbook.
"I went through it the other night and I looked for that play and we don't have it," said Hurst with a chuckle. "As far as I know our game plan is to block (Clowney) on every play."
Something that Michigan and Georgia found out the hard way.
The Hit on Michigan running back Vincent Smith during last season's Outback Bowl and Jadeveon Clowney's sack and forced fumble against Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray during his freshman season are just two painful reminders of what can happen if teams forget to block the South Carolina All-American defensive end.
Like a coroner conducting an autopsy, Hurst has dissected The Hit with a detached expertise to discover the exact cause of death or, in this case, Smith's near decapitation.
"I don't know the Michigan offense and every team does things differently," Hurst said. "But I think that the tight end missed the block or didn't think that (Clowney) was going to make an inside move. Maybe there was a call at the line of scrimmage and the guard might have missed the block. It happens. You don't hear a call or you think the other guy is going to make the block and he doesn't. We've got to avoid that or you can see the results."
The Hit went viral the moment it was posted on YouTube on New Year's Day. It's now up to more than 4.15 million views, which breaks down to an average of 17,291 views per day, 720 per hour and 12 per second. Hurst has a couple of videos on YouTube himself. But the highlights of an offensive lineman aren't exactly riveting video. His highlights from last year's game against Miami had a total of 75 views as of Tuesday.
"I guess my mom got on there a few times last week," Hurst said.
Hurst has been hearing about Clowney since the end of last season. The Hit and ESPY Award only took the hype surrounding Clowney to a stratospheric level. Hurst couldn't turn on a television this summer without seeing The Hit again and again. Over the summer, Hurst's family and friends, along with students around the Chapel Hill, N.C., campus, would ask Hurst about Clowney.
"I think James Hurst has probably heard more about Jadeveon Clowney than all of us put together," North Carolina coach Larry Fedora said at the ACC's annual football kickoff.
For the record, Hurst is neither afraid nor intimidated by the thought of lining up opposite Clowney on Thursday night. And no, images of Clowney don't keep him up at night or give him nightmares as suggested by some on Twitter. And yes, he's a little tired of answering questions from the media and friends about the matchup with his more famous opponent. But he realizes it comes with the territory of being an offensive tackle, and he knows his main objective will be keeping himself between Clowney and UNC quarterback Bryn Renner.
"He's a great player, probably the best player in college football, but you can't play the game scared," Hurst said. "You can't let him intimidate you or you've already lost. He's going to make his plays and hopefully I make a few of my own. I know I won't be out there alone."
Hurst, a first-team All-ACC pick a year ago, is a preseason All-American and has made 36 career starts with the Tar Heels. He has faced his share of great defensive ends, including former Fort Dorchester High School star Robert Quinn, a UNC teammate and a first-round NFL pick in 2011. Hurst is widely considered to be one of the top offensive tackles in next April's NFL Draft, possibly a first-round pick. He understands that there will be plenty of NFL scouts on hand to watch him battle Clowney.
"Everyone sees (Clowney) as a great player," Hurst said. "I'm going to use this opportunity to kind of prove myself and show everyone that I'm capable of playing at the top level."
As dominant as Clowney has been in his first two seasons with the Gamecocks, there have been offensive tackles that have had success against him. Take away a play or two and Michigan's Taylor Lewan and Tennessee's Antonio Richardson had their share of success against Clowney. Hurst has studied the video and has gained an understanding of what it might take to slow Clowney down.
"Obviously if people are having success against him, you want to see how they're doing it," Hurst said. "At the same time you can't change up what you do best or how you play. Those two tackles are great players and they did a good job on him for most of the game. You see that and you kind of incorporate it into your personal game plan.
"You definitely have to have great footwork and great technique against a guy like (Clowney). You can't get lazy. You can't have sloppy technique because the one play you do and he'll expose you and make a big play."

The Summerville Oakbrook Breakfast Rotary Club distributed dictionaries to schools in the Oakbrook area in November. All third graders in the Oakbrook are received a dictionary funded by a grant from Rotary.
The Rotarians went out in groups of two to the schools deliver several hundred dictionaries at each location. At each school the members had a chance to tell students about Rotary programs to end polio around the world and our water missions programs to provide clean water to many communities where drought is a problem.
Students took the opportunity to ask questions about Rotary. One question was about the membership system that encourages membership from all walks of life. Dreyer told them that he was an architect and that we also have school principals, policemen, insurance agents and many others.
Dreyer and Friar then gave students a challenge to use the dictionaries to read for fun and for their work in school. The Rotarians asked them to aim high and to learn a new word every day.
