Palazzo del Cinema Lido di Venezia, Italy March, 25th-28th 2006 VENICE VENICE Venice, thanks to its development, is unique in its kind, built on more than 100 islands in a lagoon four kilometers from the mainland, and two kilometers from the Adriatic Sea. The entire historic center, crisscrossed by canals connected by hundreds of bridges, is a real treasure from the artistic and architectural point of view. It takes on an exceptional atmosphere during the phenomenon of "high water", when the high tide exceeds the level of dry land and floods the main streets and squares of Venice. For these reasons, Venice is one of the most visited cities by tourists from all over the world. With its 310,000 inhabitants, Venice, from the administrative point of view is the capital of Regione Veneto. Historic Background At the fall of the Roman Empire hordes of barbarians descended from northern Europe causing everywhere death and destruction. The inhabitants of the Venetian cities, to escape the ferocity of the Huns and Vandals, took refuge in the islands of the Adriatic lagoon, thus it was that around 450 AD Venice was born: "the city of islands" subjected to the Byzantine influence and governed by a Doge (Duke) elected by a popular assembly. A wise use of diplomacy and arms soon led Venice not only to take control of the coasts of Istria, Dalmatia and Pulia, but also allowed it to become a real power, gaining, in the end, independence from Byzantium. The splendor of what came to be called the "Serenissima Republic", however, only begun in 1202, when the Doge Enrico Dandolo offered his invaluable help to the knights of the Fourth Crusade, in the conquest of Constantinople. After the division of the Byzantine spoils, Venice gained immense reaches, an event that allowed the "Serenissima" to expand its commercial hegemony. Venetian ships started to dominate the Mediterranean Sea reaching the Middle East, and returning to the lagoon laden with precious merchandises, almost unknown to several European countries. Venice reached the peak of its power at the beginning of the fifteenth century, after having defeated the Duke of Milan, and conquered many cities of northeastern Italy, becoming, together with Milan and Florence, one of the principal powers of the Italian peninsula. Unfortunately, this circumstance also marked the beginning of a slow but inexorable decadence of the Serenissima. th EUROPEAN SYMPOSIUM P e d i at r i c Cochlear I m p l a n t a t i o n Dates to Remember June 2005 First announcement and call for abstracts October 31, 2005 Deadline for abstracts January 10, 2006 Abstract acceptance notification to authors January 24, 2006 Final programme on the web February 24, 2006 Deadline for early registrations March 17, 2006 Deadline for pre-registrations Palazzo del Cinema Lido di Venezia, Italy March, 25th-28th 2006 President Gregorio Babighian Local Organizing Committee Marco Fontana Enzo Emanuelli Amanda Bonaconsa Michela De Zen Michele Ciccolella Michela Pagliaro Cristina Giacomelli Roberta Rebesco Pietro Amistà Local Scientific Committee Franco Trabalzini Manuela Mazzoli Eva Orzan Maurizio Amadori Organizing Secretariat M.C.A.

Trident Medical Center became the first hospital in South Carolina to perform a endovascular large burden blood clot removal on Feb. 19.
Juanita Jackson, 56, became the first patient in South Carolina to have this procedure.
The surgery was led by James Benner, MD of Palmetto Cardiovascular and Thoracic Associates and Joseph Mullaney, MD of Imaging Specialists of Charleston. A team of clinicians from both the cardiovascular operating room and the interventional radiology suite were also a vital part of this operation.
Jackson could have had an open surgical procedure but chose to undergo this new minimally invasive procedure using a device called AngioVac, which vacuumed the massive clot out of her inferior vena cava.
The team of Dr. Benner and Dr. Mullaney were able to remove the blood clot in just a few hours.
Mrs. Jackson was discharged from Trident Medical Center just two days after her surgery. Since returning she has continued to do well and has returned to her normal daily activities.
The AngioVac device/system allows us to pass a catheter into the inferior venous cava, pulmonary artery or heart to suction and remove large amounts of clot from the venous system, said Dr. Benner.
This technology removes the clot in a timely and safe manner from the venous system of the affected patient. Some patients do not have the time or ability to tolerate the traditional options which include thrombolytic therapy and other surgical procedures due to their personal heath situation.
Clot removal removes the pain, heart strain, respiratory distress, and fatigue these patients may be experiencing.
Trident Health is an HCA hospital system comprised of two acute care hospitals Trident Medical Center and Summerville Medical Center as well as Moncks Corner Medical Center.

These guidelines have been designed to support emergency managers to better understand the varied communication needs of people with disability. They are intended to inform and complement the wide range of policies and procedures developed at all levels of government, business and the not-for-profit sector in support of incident management and the delivery of emergency warnings.
Effective communication is essential to building the trust, understanding and strong partnerships critical to building more disaster resilient communities. The Council of Australian Governments' endorsed National Strategy for Disaster Resilience recognises the need to ensure all members of the community have a clear understanding of their risks and what to do about them. It is also crucial that all relevant information is made available, in the right way, to reach all members of a community during the response and recovery phases of a disaster.
A Quick Guide has been developed to immediately aide emergency managers in identifying ways to address the communication needs of community members at each stage of the Prevention, Preparedness, Response and Recovery (PPRR) cycle.

@star53 I totally agree with you. Everyone is unique and so we're not all going to get our periods at age 12 or have boobs [ever]. Sometimes it's tough or even awkward to see you friends develop at different paces, but you just gotta accept that we're all different so it's ok! (:

What you are talking about makes its difficult sometimes to have certain friends because we can all be at different stages. Some friends may not even be going through the major puberty stuff and some of us ready for doing and trying new things because of our hormones and body changes. The biggest is with bfs and what some of us do and dont do with them. Based on what I am doing it is probably, somewhere in the middle.
Try to enjoy where you are because things will be changing fast and you can never go back.

I agree with thetruth, I know it's hard but try your best not to worry about it. Just eat a healthy diet and stuff and you'll develop at the right pace (:

|Head Coach
|Head Coach
A 1989 graduate of Brown, Cooke was named the head coach of the varsity team in 2002 after serving as the head coach of the freshmen team for six years.
Cooke led Brown to another stellar season in 2013 as the Bears finished runner-up at the Eastern Sprints before taking third overall at the IRA National Championship. Brown claimed four medals at the IRA Championship and was one of three schools, and the only from the East, to advance all five boats to the grand finals. Furthermore, Brown was second overall for the Ten Eyck Memorial Trophy, awarded to the school with the most team points. It marked the program's highest point total since the IRA Regatta officially decided the sport's national collegiate championship in 1997.
A tremendously successful 2012 spring season cemented Cooke's status among the coaching elite. He led his team to the Ivy League Championship title before claiming top honors at the Eastern Championship. From there, the Bears went on to row to a second place finish at the IRA National Championship, proving their dominance among the best teams in the country. Brown capped off the season with an appearance at the Henley Royal Regatta in July, qualifying for two finals at the prestigious competition and claiming runner-up honors in both the Grand and Temple Challenge Cups.
As a result of the team's success, Cooke was named the 2012 Fan's Choice Collegiate Coach of the Year, an honor decided upon by the rowing community, as well as the 2012 EARC Coach of the Year. Additionally, the men's crew was honored with the Callow Award, first presented in 1963 and given annually to the team or crew which best personifies the virtues of "spirit, courage and unity".
Prior to last season's success, the Brown varsity finished fourth at the Eastern Sprints and fifth at the IRA National Championship in 2011. In 2010, the varsity eight had an undefeated dual race season, while also finishing third at the Eastern Sprints and rowing to a fifth place finish at the IRA National Championship. The second eight won the Eastern Sprints and finished in second place at the IRA, just one-half of a second behind the winning crew.
In 2008-2009, the Bears swept the heavyweight events at the EARC Sprints, taking home the Rowe Cup as the top overall team by a wide margin. That momentum continued through the IRA National Championships, as Brown finished third overall in the team standings, the highest finish by an East Coast school. The second varsity eight and freshman eight also paid a visit to the medal podium, finishing second and third respectively, while the varsity eight finished a close fourth, but was the first Ivy school in. The Bears wrapped up a terrific season by traveling across the Atlantic to race at the Henley Royal Regatta, where the varsity eight won the prestigious Ladies Plate Challenge Cup for the first time since 2000. The freshman eight also performed well, claiming a second-place finish in the Temple Cup.
In 2007-2008, the Bears continued to excel under Cooke's leadership. They finished third at the prestigious Head of the Charles during the fall season, losing only to the US National Team and Wisconsin. The team carried that momentum through a terrific spring season, going undefeated and capturing an Ivy Championship. Brown then tested itself against the best in the country at the IRA National Regatta in June, emerging as a top-ten squad.
In the spring of 2006, the Brown crew re-established itself as one of the top teams in the country, beginning the year with a thrilling victory over Harvard, the defending national champions, snapping the Crimson's three-year winning streak. At the 2006 Eastern Sprints, the men's varsity eight raced to a third place finish in the grand final, Brown's best finish since its title in 2000. The crew capped off an exciting season with a bronze medal in the varsity eight at the 2006 IRA National Championship where the Bears were also awarded the Chapman Trophy, given to the most improved team.
In 2005, Cooke's varsity eight earned a fifth place at the Eastern Sprints, finishing the season tenth in the country and third in the Ivy League. The squad placed three of four boats in the grand final, and the freshmen eights swept the regatta. In 2004, the squad also placed three of four boats in the Eastern Sprints final and the Bears' second varsity eight placed fourth in the East.
In 2003, Cooke led Brown to winning dual meet records in the varsity, second varsity and third varsity eights. The varsity eight placed fifth at the Eastern Sprints and third among Ivy League schools. At the IRA National Championship, the varsity eight came just short of making the grand final, but won the petite final in convincing fashion.
In 2002, his first year as head varsity coach, the Bears had strong showings at Syracuse, Boston University and Dartmouth. The second varsity boat earned an impressive sixth place finish at the IRA National Championship as well.
While under the direction of Cooke, the freshmen crew raced with consistent success and were perennial contenders for the championship at the Eastern Sprints and the IRA National Championship. The freshmen recorded a 28-5 record in dual races, including an undefeated dual season in the 2000 campaign. They won medals five medals at the Eastern Sprints in six seasons, including the Championship title in 1995. In 1999, Cooke's freshmen crew won the IRA title, setting the course record at 5 minutes 34 seconds.
In addition to his collegiate responsibilities, Cooke has helped to generate outstanding performances for US teams in international races. He helped bring the US Under-23 team to the Nation's Cup in 1997 and 1999, and in Hamburg in 1999, Cooke teamed with Dan Roock to coach the US eight to an open water victory. As a junior team coach, Cooke had primary responsibility for the pair with coxswain that brought home a bronze medal in 1994 and he coached the four with coxswain to a silver medal in 1998. Most recently, he coached the U23 heavyweight eight to the silver medal at the 2013 World Rowing Championships in Linz, Austria.
A varsity oarsman at Brown, Cooke won IRA Nationals Championships with the freshmen and junior varsity eight, a silver medal at the IRA with the varsity eight and a bronze medal in the varsity eight at the National Collegiate Rowing Championship. A native of Ithaca, New York, Cooke currently resides in Barrington, Rhode Island with his wife, Laura, and their children, Noelle, Andrew and Declan.

Agnes Samples, new executive director of Family Promise (Interfaith Hospitality Network of Greater Johnson City), will start her post in November. (Lee Talbert/Johnson City Press)
Family Promise of Greater Johnson City, the United Way supported network of area churches that helps homeless families with children regain their independence, has chosen Agnes B. Samples to serve as its new executive director.
Samples will begin work at the helm of the nonprofit organization formerly known as Interfaith Hospitality Network on Nov. 18.
The network's current executive director Brian Rosecrance will retire in December and will spend his final six weeks with Family Promise staff helping Samples with the transition.
Rosecrance said the Family Promise board of directors voted unanimously in September to hire Samples as his replacement. From a file of 48 applicants from across the country who sought the position, he said the board viewed Samples as "the top card" based on a number of qualifications.
"It's a combination of things," Rosecrance said. "She's very intelligent. ... She has front line experience as a nonprofit executive director. She's very articulate. She's very community minded. And she is all about strategic planning which is what I think most impressed all of us on the (search) committee. She's got organizer's sense. She knows how to network. And because she comes from here, she is very connected with this community."
A native of Johnson City, Samples most recently spent more than two years as executive director of the St. Vincent De Paul ministry for the homeless and poor in Billings, Mont., and was previously employed for nearly 20 years as an associate professor of public health at East Tennessee State University and at Montana State University in Billings. Prior to leaving Johnson City for Billings in 2004, she received her doctorate of education, masters' in public health administration and bachelor's in school health education from ETSU.
In addition to her work and educational background, Rosecrance noted Samples also worked as a volunteer with the Family Promise program in Billings for more than six years. He said he personally considers her someone "who will be able to come in and take Family Promise to the next level."
Samples said she is glad to be back and in Johnson City and is looking forward to working with Rosecrance, the Family Promise board and staff, the 35 local church congregations and more than 1,000 volunteers aligned through the network and the families they serve.
"Family Promise is what it is because of Brian Rosecrance, the volunteers and the congregations that serve the families," she said. "The diversity of the board and the unique experience and qualities of each of the members really makes its strong board.
"We're looking forward to doubling that (congregations) number as they work through their strategic planning. We will be reaching out to other congregations which will be vitally important as we seek to increase the number of families we serve," Samples said.
Addressing the recent re-branding of the local network as Family Promise, Rosecrance said, "We've been operating as an affiliate of Family Promise for 13 years. They changed their name some years ago and it's something they've encouraged us to do for some years.
"Interfaith Hospitality Network, that is the churches and the families who stay in them, will do what they have always done. But we also have many other programs ... that will all be under the Family Promise umbrella with Interfaith Hospitality Network," he said
In addition to the network of host and support churches that partner to temporarily house homeless parents with children as they work, attend school and address the issues that contribute to homelessness, Family Promise also provides a transitional subsidized housing program, life skills and household budget training, family mentoring, volunteer training and other services.
While he will continue working with the national Family Promise organization to help establish new affiliates across the country after his retirement, Rosecrance said he also plans to go fishing, enjoy his grandchildren and slow down.

Think of a table and you think of a dinner with friends, a business meeting or something similar! However, in this video a long, rough wooden table is the main protagonist. And if it could, it would tell us about all the different things it has seen. The ALL MALE STUDIOS have decided to make it "talk" about all the gay encounters it has experienced! Obviously, a table isn?t a bed, but it helps stimulate the imagination of the gay population even more. This is a video with an emotionally strong impact, whose dark moods are "brought to light" by young, attractive bodies - as only the ALL MALE STUDIO knows how! Only and exclusively MADE IN ITALY!!!
Is there a problem with this video?

In the Wall Street Journal today, I write about the disastrous consequences of Israel's boarding operation off Gaza. Although the Israelis were perfectly justified in trying to stop Hamas from receiving outside aid, the way they went about it resulted in a public-relations catastrophe. A friend asks me in essence, So what? Is growing international approval really a problem for Israel? I believe it is.
Israel cannot afford to become another South Africa, Burma, or North Korea. Come to think of it, even South Africa couldn't afford to become South Africa: an international pariah regime. It was too democratic and too Western to bear such isolation indefinitely in the way that absolute dictatorships like Burma or North Korea can. The international embargo ultimately led to a crisis of confidence within Afrikaner leadership circles and to the negotiated end to the racist regime. Israel, I stress, is no South Africa: it is not an apartheid regime. It is in fact the most liberal and democratic regime in the region, offering Arabs more rights than they are offered in any of its immediate neighbors. And Israel is, mercifully, not yet subject to the kind of international opprobrium that South Africa (rightly) received. Unfortunately, it is heading in that direction.
Other CONTENTIONS bloggers have noted that liberal Gentiles long ago turned on Israel; now it's the turn of liberal Jews. Israel already faces the most hostile administration in Washington in decades — perhaps ever. This is an ominous trend. Israel depends on trade and interaction with the rest of the world; its people are liberal and Western in their outlook — they need to feel a part of the "West." That image is furthered when Israel joins the OECD, the club of advanced industrial countries, as it just did. But incidents such as the Gaza flotilla fight set Israel back and further the propaganda war being waged against it by its enemies. Israel cannot afford to provide its foes further ammunition.
That doesn't mean it should refrain from legitimate acts of self-defense (such as killing Hamas big shots or retaliating for Hamas rocket strikes), but it should be ultra careful to manage public perceptions of its actions. Unfortunately, the Israeli Defense Forces have always shown more competence at tactical kinetic operations than at information operations. That deficiency was revealed during the 2006 war with Hezbollah and now more recently in the botched raid on the Gaza ships. Granted, Israel is getting better about managing the consequences of its actions; the IDF gets kudos for posting video of the raid online quickly and making some naval commandos available for interviews. But if Israel were strategically smarter, it would have avoided the raid altogether, with all the possibilities of something going wrong, and used more stealthy means to prevent the Hamas activists from reaching their objective. The IDF should be mindful of the French experience in Algeria and the American experience in Vietnam: it is possible to win every battle and still lose the war.

Are you looking for Absinthe cocktail recipes? By clicking on Absinthe Cocktails you will find a variety of cocktails with Absinthe. You can also directly order the Absinthe Cocktail Book "A Taste for Absinthe", which features classic and more modern cocktail recipes with Absinthe.

The best Absinthe Cocktail
Hard to say which one is the best, but we like Hemmingways version, Death in the afternoon: You fill a glass with 200ml Champagne, Then you add a shot (really only a small shot) of Absinthe. Don´t add too much Absinthe, the Green Fairy is only used to give the Champagne a special note. The refreshing notes of anise and fennel perfectly fit to the dry fruityness of champagne. You will get the best optical effect, when you use a red Absinthe. For example Absinthe Serpis, which you will find in the Spanish Absinthe section in our Absinthe Shop. When you are a Goth inspired Absintheur, use Absinthe Gothica. The black/violette color of the Absinthe will create magical black swirls in the glass.

to abk28 - yes, McNamara has demonstrated his commitment to SU but it would be hard, indeed, to say his commitment is any more than Melo's - yup, 1 year and out but hardly a one-year wonder and don't forget the $3 mil he's given to SU. Not exactly chopped liver.
I'd like to see GMac's jersey, Etan Thomas's, Poetry-in-Moten's and Hak's jerseys there, too. All these guys gave the school and the town a ton of thrills.
You go, girl. Proud of you.
Seems like a shame. The guys starts as a true freshman, seems we could at least use a good, speedy linebacker, especially a guy willing to make the move.
I hope Paul comes back. It's hard playing consistently when the head coach is riding your shoulder waiting to snatch you out of the game. Paul has great talent and does need more development but who else rebounded as well? He's the best rebounder I can remember in the last 30 years. He's worked on his foul shooting, he's worked on other aspects of his game. Too often he's been placed in the situation where he's under the basket trying to get up a shot against guys who have 5 inches on him.
Just want to say I hope all three come back. As for young Mr. Harris, it's tough to be ridden hard for 3 years. Thanks for sticking for the 3 years, young man - hope you come back. Best wishes to you, Jonny and Devo. Coulda been a magnificent team next year. What a shame.
I've been watching SU basketball since just before JB took over from Roy Danforth. This team is one of the very best that Syracuse has ever put on the floor. If they keep their heads together and continue to bear down and refuse to lose, I'm looking forward to seeing them take the national championship this year because there is no better talent on any team. But these guys do need 40 minutes of discipline every game. Talent at this stage is not enough, and too often these young men have relied too much on raw talent - those are the games, other than the BE finals this year, when they've lost. If these guys do that, they'll take the trophy.
To the team: you guys played a magnificent Big East tourney. I couldn't be prouder.
To Orngfan: it's a wonder to me why any athlete would come play for SU with comments like yours. You are basically a coward. You hide behind an alias, you pollute public boards like these with your easy slurs and you can hide behind your computer without anyone knowing who you are. Young Mr. Harris, as with any SU athlete, is out there for the world to see. In front of garbage like you. Young Mr. Harris has far more class and guts than you can ever hope to have. Personally, I am impressed with Mr. Harris's growth, development as a player and maturity since he arrived as a freshman. I hope he stays. He and Johnny Flynn are the engines of this team and without them, as talented as we are, we're not going anywhere this season. So Orngfan, STFU. Go play with yourself.
Thank you for your story and the link. For those who disparage the women's game, may I suggest they link to the article.
As a girl growing up in the mid-60s, and the athlete of the extended family, the girls' game in the mid-60s was frustrating. You were either offense or defense because the center of the court was the limit of your particular playing field. You could only dribble 3 times. The uniforms were ridiculous. No one bothered to come and watch the games. Boys, then as now, disparaged us, the ridiculous rules (well, they were right on that one) and told us we could not represent the school - only they could. But we played on, knowing that our careers ended at the end of high school.
We moved on to college and began the movement for women's sports. Title IX came too late for me, otherwise I would have gotten a scholarship. But I went out of my way to find the SU women's basketball coach at the time to interview her for a local, now defunct, sports weekly.
Some seeds take a long time to germinate and begin to grow. It is good to see the SU women's team making some noise. Wish I were local so I could lend them my support. As I cannot, I hope they'll know that there are people out there who do support them and wish them all the success they can possibly experience.
an honor well deserved. Thank you, Arthur. Thanks to this team on that day and thanks to the coaches, particularly Coach Robinson.
Coach Robinson is a class act. Maybe we ought to rethink that firing thing after all. This team performed marvelously. They overcame their 3rd quarter mistakes, managed the clock well, had creative offensive plays, found an explosive RB and had the grace and good manners to respect the other school's alma mater. Rewind the clock on Coach Robinson.
Go SU, beat Cincy.
Thanks for the great show.
Good column, Bud. Thanks.
Then quigley, I wish you the best of luck when you venture out into the world and make a mistake.
I've read comment boards on other schools' and newspapers' websites. By far, the most infantile and offensive comments belong to Syracuse's, my alma mater's.
People like me, long out of school, hire people in your positions. Best be advised not to use your aliases on Facebook or My Space. You will be viewed as the cancers on the organization that you are.
For God's sake, grow up. Yes, everyone wants a winner every year. Everyone wants the bowl games, including the A.D., the Chancellor and our now ex-coach. I am as disappointed as you are over the results of the last four years. But that's life. My question to you whiners, racists and sexists is this: how are you going to handle your own failures? In public, no less.
I reiterate my earlier wish to this coach and this team: I hope you will all find yourselves "in the zone" and win your final two games. You will go out as winners. Not whiners. No doubt, you've all put in a lot of very hard work. Thanks for that effort. Now bear down and win.
The not-so-hidden racist and sexist comments so often found on this blog are offensive.
As for Coach Robinson, I watched his presser and kept thinking that there is a man, not a boy. No whining, no excuses, no blaming someone else. That's a man. Too often not seen these days.
Both the Coach's and the A.D.'s pressers were dignified and respectful of one another. Imagine that. No chest thumping, no posturing. Just mutual respect and grace.
A good man is leaving the program. Best wishes to him. And a good man and good woman will carry on professionally. Too bad so few comment on this blog can recognize that. Ah, just another lesson lost.
Thanks for grace with which Coach Robinson will be allowed to finish out the season and help to guide the young men on the team. I hope they win both games. Nothing would be better than to spoil UC's prospects. And thanks to the A.D. and Chancellor for their grace in allowing that possibility.
SU in final four. We've got the players, finally after last season, and the balance. We might even win the tournament. Great centers both starting and off the bench, Jonny and two fantastic outside shooters and Devo can drive the lane, Paul Harris (my favorite - what effort the man puts out every time), Ongenaut for sheer guts, great frosh...JB planning on playing 9 guys (that's something new). This is a phenomenal team.
All-in-all, this has been a truly sad experience. Greg Robinson looks like a good and decent man. Just didn't work out. I expect he put everything he had into it. I hope he's found some inner peace with the oncoming hatchet because he deserves that inner peace. You give it the best you got at the time. That's all that can be asked. Someday, you young guys will wake up and realize that after you've taken all the abuse from someone else that you've been so liberally handing out to Robinson and the players. But a bowl game this season? Sadly, no. For what it's worth, I hope the last game Greg coaches is a win, for both himself and his team. Go SU.
44range, GMac was valuable but there wouldn't be a title without Melo. Melo was exceptional, GMac talented. Big diff. Melo's mentioned second or third after Labron and that's first line NBA. Loved GMac - loved his heart, his guts. But big difference between him and Melo. Melo comes first and he's a gift that keeps on giving. We're damn lucky to have had him.
Saw GRob on the Saturday "Syracuse Behind The Lines" show a couple weeks ago. Painful to see him. He knows he's a goner. The team knows he's a goner. The fans knows he's a goner. This is downright cruel to him, the team, the fans, the school, the city. Wake up and drop the hammer on him to put him out of his misery. This season's gone, too. And don't go after that fired coach from the Raiders. If you do, then it's time to fire the A.D.

Hurst, Heels hyped for new season
South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney delivered the biggest hit of the 2012 college football season in his last game when he flattened Michigan running back Vincent Smith, sending Smith's helmet and the ball flying to the ground.
When the Gamecocks open the college football season on Aug. 29 by hosting border rival North Carolina, many fans will want be watching just to see what Clowney can do for an encore.
"Everybody in the country has seen it (the hit)," UNC coach Larry Fedora said. "Ninety-nine percent of the people out there in the world are going to turn the TV on that night to see what No. 7 (Clowney) does to No. 2 (Tar Heels quarterback Bryn Renner)."
The person most responsible for making sure those people are disappointed is UNC senior left tackle James Hurst, who spent the team's preseason media day the same way he's spent most media sessions this summer – talking about Clowney.
"Gosh, a couple weeks ago I did 4-5 interviews and they were all based around that matchup, and it's only going to increase as we get closer," Hurst said. "He's a great player, everybody knows that. He's going to get all the hype and it's well deserved."
Even when Hurst isn't talking about Clowney, the consensus No. 1 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft and a contender for the Heisman Trophy, he's thinking about him and using the matchup as motivation.
"You realize you're also playing the best player in college football in Week 1, so I don't have any time to waste," Hurst said. "I can't wait until tomorrow to do something, today is the day. That's the mindset I've taken this whole offseason."
During SEC media days, Clowney said that he could tell Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd, Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray and former Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson were scared to face him last season.
Hurst said he hasn't talked with Renner about Clowney, and he doesn't need to.
"He trusts me to do my job," Hurst said. "I trust him to be able to get the ball out on time."
Renner has good reason to trust Hurst. The fourth-year starter was a preseason all-ACC selection by the media, receiving the second-most votes of any offensive lineman in the conference.
Hurst also has experience matching up with current NFL defensive ends such as Clemson's Da'Quan Bowers and former teammates Robert Quinn and Quinton Coples.
Hurst's biggest concern at the moment is building chemistry and communication with freshman left guard Caleb Peterson, sophomore right guard Landon Turner and sophomore right tackle Kiaro Holts – all of whom are replacing players that were picked in the 2013 NFL Draft.
Fedora said that the offensive line usually takes more time to gel than other units. But unlike previous years, when UNC opened with FCS programs, these linemen won't have time to grow into their new roles.
"We're looking forward to the challenge," Hurst said. "We know people are going to be looking at us because we lost three draft picks, so people are going to expect us to come out there and fall on our face, so we like the challenge."
Hurst compared it to his freshman year, when the Tar Heels played another nationally-televised opener against LSU in the Georgia Dome. With many of its top players suspended, UNC was a heavy underdog but came within six yards of scoring the winning touchdown as time expired in a 30-24 loss.
The Tar Heels, and Hurst, have another chance to shock an SEC opponent to start this season.
"Really it's just a cool opportunity to get this much hype around an opening game," Hurst said. "It's cool to be in a situation like this. I think a lot of people would want to be in it, so I'm just going to try and relish it."
