Serena Williams says she will be happy even if she never wins another tennis match, and yet win is all she seems to do. Four of the last six grand slam singles titles, 107 of her past 112 matches, and 29 of 34 all-time against her two closest pursuers, Victoria Azarenka and Maria Sharapova. Virginie Razzano has a lot to answer for.
It was Razzano, after all, who unwittingly (re-)started all this at the 2012 French Open, by inflicting the American's first - and only - opening-round grand slam loss, a year after the death of the Frenchwoman's fiance and coach, Stephane Vidal. Williams' despair was later, lesser and for different reasons, but prompted an urgent career reboot with the help of her now-coach Patrick Mouratoglou. Collectively, the women's tour as a challenging-Serena force has not recovered.
For Williams, then, how distant does the weepy Razzano debacle seem, given what has happened since? ''It definitely does seem like a long time ago, but at the same time it's something that happened not so long ago, and I keep it in the forefront of my mind,'' she told Fairfax Media.
Which says nothing much but also quite a lot. Something, everything, changed after that distressing defeat, a memory that still lingers, and women's tennis has never really been the same.
''The Razzano match showed Serena what she could not do ever again if she was going to be successful, and that was to emotionally fall apart,'' said Australian commentator and former doubles great Rennae Stubbs, who was calling the Roland Garros match at courtside.
''I was right in the eyeline of her player box, and I saw every facet of frustration, I saw every facial expression and I pretty much heard every word out of her mouth that day, and it was so incredibly negative, she was so anxious, she was so tough on herself, and it was really hard to see such a great champion literally look like her career was ending.
''I mean, it really looked like she would not recover from that match, just the way she handled the whole moment. It was almost like for the first time in her career she had doubt that she was good enough, especially on the red clay.
''I think Virginie Razzano will look back on that day as the greatest day in her tennis career - and it could have been anyone, but it was almost as if the world was giving her back something after the death of her fiance, and what she'd just lost. And at the same time it brought one of the greatest players in the history of tennis back to be that for her sport.''
Williams went on to claim her fifth Wimbledon crown a month later, having prevailed in a hugely-significant-but-in-a-positive-way third round against defending champion Petra Kvitova, then backed up with yet another major at the 2012 US Open.
Last year, she suffered an ankle injury at Melbourne Park before a quarter-final exit, and a shock fourth-round loss to Sabine Lisicki at Wimbledon to end a 34-win streak, but claimed a second French Open at her most testing major venue and then a hugely satisfying sixth championship at Flushing Meadows.
Her grand slam single tally now stands at 17 - five behind Open era leader Steffi Graf, and one adrift of fellow greats Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova.
A perilously heavy favourite to win a sixth Australian Open title on Saturday week, the 32-year-old says she is still motivated most of all by the grand slams, but no longer thinking solely of them.
''History obviously means a lot. It never started out, I didn't play for history, I just played to win titles, and to be No. 1 and to win the US Open, I never thought of numbers or anything like that, but it's pretty awesome,'' says Williams. ''It's building up to be something I never in my mind thought about before.''
And an 18th, which Navratilova considers almost a formality? Pencil her in. No, actually, ink it, lightly. ''She can get to 22 if she stays healthy and motivated,'' Evert, who in 2006 wrote her famous open letter pleading with Williams not to squander her vast talent, told the WTA website of the Open-era record held by Graf. ''If she gets to 18, I wouldn't feel like she's in good company, but Martina and I are in good company.''
Ditto, says Navratilova. ''It's just a matter of time before she passes us. Four or five years ago I didn't think she would get there, but the last couple of years she's really caught up. And I think she can go into the 20s the way she's playing and feeling - the sky's really the limit for her. Also, more power to her that she can keep doing it into her 30s. That's what's most impressive to me.''
''It's so close, but yet so far away,'' insists Williams, who has repeatedly brushed aside suggestions she can overhaul Australia's all-time slam leader Margaret Court's 24, and on Monday plays local wildcard Ashleigh Barty in the opening round. ''Eighteen, it's such an exciting prospect. When you think of greats, you think of Martina Navratilova or Chris Evert and for me that's crazy, that's really crazy.''
So, at times is Williams, who famously threatened to ram a ball down a lineswoman's throat in the 2009 US Open semi-final against Kim Clijsters, and has often said she is playing better now that she is calmer and more relaxed. ''Sometimes I definitely get a little worked-up still, but I just try to get through those moments,'' she says.
Relaxed? Serena? ''That's a lie,'' laughs her friend Stubbs. ''I think she feels that she's accomplished incredible things and that she doesn't have to prove anything any more, and she's spent her whole career trying to prove people wrong - like her [2007] Australian Open victory when even she says she wasn't fit enough but still won the tournament.
''But she's at the point now where she truly knows that she belongs in the story of the greatest players of all time, and I think that takes off a little bit of pressure. And the same goes for winning the French Open last year - having now said she's won that twice and not just once, because a lot of people would probably say 'that's not good enough'. But she walks onto the court and is nervous every time, and she's fired-up every time.''
She is also, apparently, happy and settled in her personal life with Mouratoglou, the urbane Frenchman the star likens to the man behind a film camera. She gives him abundant credit for her dominant 18 months, and the renovated lobby area of his academy on the Paris outskirts displays the major trophies won during their successful collaboration.
''If you think of a director directing actors, he's really good at that,'' says Williams. ''We work really well together. I have the ideas, and he kinda turns my ideas into something that could actually work. So I'm always like 'we need to do this, we need to do this, we need to work on this, let's work on this', and he's just like 'OK, well, let's try to pick some of this, and let's try to do some of that'.''
To Stubbs, a content Serena means a less-anxious Serena, which is essential for a player who - unlike some - is exactly as her on-court persona would suggest. ''She comes from the streets, man, and that's how she fights on the court,'' says the former doubles star. ''She's had to fight that way her whole life, because her older sister was always seen as the better one, until everybody saw that Serena was really technically the better player, and more dogged, more determined.''
Her father, Richard, remains an important guiding influence, and the pair worked closely in the off-season while Mouratoglou was busy with academy business, and Williams in Florida helping interview candidates to run her clothing company Aneres. She called Richard, her original coach, for reassurance and advice several times from the US Open, and went on to beat Azarenka in a three-set final that turned a great year into an extraordinary one.
Remarkably, she has also improved every aspect of her game since turning 30, according to retired great Lindsay Davenport, including her defence, and patience, and the options she can call upon when plan A is not going exactly as she would like. Mouratoglou says her greater mental intensity and consistency have helped her to cope with the pressure that comes with being expected to win every tournament you enter, and favoured in every match you play.
Indeed, a measure of her dominance is the number of 6-0 sets she swept in 2013: 24, compared with 11 the previous season. ''I saw that stat. That was crazy, really weird.'' Does it tell her that she is crushing people? And liking it? ''I don't know. I'm thinking 'how am I getting all these love sets? I don't remember half of 'em. I only remember a handful, literally!''
The world No. 1 insists, however, that she does not live in the past, and so touches only briefly on the fact that after winning five Australian Opens in eight years, she missed 2011 after suffering a life-threatening pulmonary embolism, and then sustained ankle injuries that contributed to pre-semi-final exits in the past two years.
At least, she quips, she is heading in the right direction, so she should be good for the last four this time. Ha, ha. As if. Clearly, anything less than the title would be nowhere near good enough. ''We'll see. No pressure, no stress,'' she counters, as if the five-time champion is trying to convince herself. ''I don't have to win another match and I'll be happy. So I'm good.''
And if she didn't, where would she go first, what would she do? ''Well, ride into the sunset, right?'' smiles Williams, once an actress, but still a tennis player, one of the greatest the women's game has seen. Razzano could not have guessed what role she would play in tennis history, but the world No. 98 deserves a small acknowledgment when the credits on the Serena Williams story do eventually roll.

Gulf broadcasters find red line in uprisings
By Andrew Hammond
DUBAI (Reuters) - Pan-Arab broadcasters who played a key role reporting Arab uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt are helping dynastic rulers police the gates of the Gulf to stop the revolts from spreading on their patch, analysts say.
Qatar-based Al Jazeera, the leading Arabic language network, was pivotal in keeping up momentum during protests that toppled Zine al-Abdine Ben Ali and Hosni Mubarak, both entrenched rulers who were no friends of Qatar's ruling Al Thani dynasty.
When Al Jazeera's cameras turned to Yemen, it was as though its guns were trained on the next target in an uprising longtime Arab leaders were convinced was of the channel's making.
Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, whose impoverished country of 23 million is not a member of the affluent Gulf Arab club, accused Al Jazeera of running an "operations room to burn the Arab nation." His government has revoked the Al Jazeera correspondents' licenses over its coverage in Yemen.
For viewers watching protests spread across the region, the excitement stopped abruptly in Bahrain. Scant coverage was given to protests in the Gulf Cooperation Council member and to the ensuing crackdown by its Sunni rulers, who called in Saudi and Emirati troops in March under a regional defense pact.
Protests in Oman and Saudi Arabia have also received scant attention in recent months.
"Bahrain does not exist as far as Al Jazeera is concerned, and they have avoided inviting Bahraini or Omani or Saudi critics of those regimes," said As'ad AbuKhalil, politics professor at California State University.
"Most glaringly, Al Jazeera does not allow one view that is critical of Bahraini repression to appear on the air. The GCC has closed ranks and Qatar may be rewarded with the coveted post of secretary-general of the Arab League." Continued...

Say It Ain't So!!
Printable View
Not surprising, but very little info about the person who subdued the shooter. Had it gone the other way, we have heard about his heroism.
Really!!!!!!! Who da thunk it!
Right after Newtown, BO ridiculed NRA for suggesting Armed Guards in schools & the lame-stream press jumped on the bandwagon. A month later 1/2 the schools in the country are getting guards and Newtown is starting to demand guards. The lame=stream has not changed yet, but you are hearing less bad-mouthing of armed guards from the press. Wonder when they will fully convert?
I don't want to rush to judgement with potentially positive results just as I don't with negative ones, so I will wait until we get more information. However, if it turns out the the armed guard stopped the threat, then that should be shouted from the rooftops by all of those who support the NRA initiative. It would be good to see real-life results support common sense policy.
There must be a mistake. The perp couldn't have had a gun because guns aren't allowed at schools.

I come back out and WOW, there is a IDENTICAL Catera parked right next to mine. The only difference I saw was the Sirius satellite antenna on mine. Same color, etc. Wierd feeling. Sort of lost my uniqieness :D I have this problem all the time with my wife's Lexus LS400, but there are at least a million of those. Not so with Cateras.

Many system of classification of fungi have been proposed by various mycologists. Classification are based on the following features.
- Morphology and appearance of the fungus.
- Morphology of reproductive structures.
- Types of spores and method by which they are produced.
- Nature of the life cycle.
- Besides, physiological and biochemical features of fungi help in the classification.
I) According to the sepatation of the mycelium and on the basis of characteristic features of reproduction.
Phycomycetes, Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes, Deuteromycetes.
(The Lower Fungi)
Mycelium: A septate, Cenocytic
Asexual reproduction: Zoospores, Aplanospores, Chlamydospores, Sporangiospore
Sexual Reproduction: Isogamy, Oogamy
Fruiting body: Zygospore
Examples: Mucor, Rhizopus
(Sac Fungi)
Mycelium: branched and Septate
Asexual reproduction: Budding, Conidiospores or Conidia
Sexual Reproduction: Fusion of compatible nuclei. Ascospores formed in ascus
|A linear, cylindrical, eight-spored ascus of Sordaria fimicola
Fruiting body: Ascocarp (Cleistothecium, perithecium, apothecium)
Examples: Yeast, Penicillium, Neurospora, cup fungi, edible morels
|Scarlet cups
(Club Fungi)
Advanced group of fungi
Mycelium: Secondary, mycelium, dikaryotic
Asexual reproduction: Basidiospores, Oidia
Sexual Reproduction: Somatogamy, Basidiospores formed on sterigmata.
Fruiting body: Basidiocarp
Examples: Mushroom, Puff balls, bracket fungi, Agaricus, Polyporus, Puccinia, Ustilago
|Puff ball
|Shelf Fungi
Deuteromycetes (Fungi Imperfecti)
In these fungi only asexual method of reproduction by means of conidia has been observed. Perfect or sexual stages are absent. Hence they are grouped under an artificial group called fungi imperfecti.
Asexual reproduction: Conidia
Sexual Reproduction: Absent or not known
Fruiting body: Absent
Examples: Fusarium, Collectotrichum, Pyricularia, Cercospora
II) Classification of fungi is based largely on the particular life cycle involved.
- Zygomycetes, Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes, Deuteromycetes.
(The Conjugation Fungi)
Primitive group of fungi
Mycelium: Branched, filamentous and coenocytic hyphae.
Asexual reproduction: Non motile sporangiospores
Sexual reproduction: Take place by means of gametangial copulation.
Resting spore or zygospore is formed by the fusion of two gametangia
|Zygospore of Rhizopus
Examples: Common bread mould, Rhizopus, Mucor

To all clients and friends of the BHVH:
We understand that there has been information circulating that questions the concept and value of vaccinating dogs and cats with absolutely necessary vaccines such as distemper and parvovirus every year. We do use and recommend the yearly form of these vaccines and would like to share our viewpoint and rationale.
Vaccinations that have been approved to be administered every 3 years instead of once a year are available. Initially, they seemed to be desirable because they are used less frequently and help avoid "over-vaccination". However, to make them last longer, vaccine manufacturers have increased the vaccine virus load five-fold. This means five times the stimulation to the immune system. So then, they are actually being exposed to more vaccine virus with the 3 year vaccine than when they received the vaccine yearly. The USDA is in charge of vaccine approvals. In order to obtain USDA approval for the 3 year vaccine, 8 dogs were vaccinated and their antibody levels checked at 12 weeks after vaccination. This was all that was required to be allowed to claim 3 years of protection. No challenge studies were done, in which vaccinated dogs were exposed to live virus to see if they were truly immune. We feel that this is not adequate proof of protection and have chosen not to use 3 year vaccinations.
In regard to vaccines causing cancers in cats, that was a phenomenon that arose in the 1990's when rabies vaccination became required for cats. Many theories have been advanced to explain the occurrence of cancer as a result of vaccination. None have been accepted as truth. But we have seen a tremendous reduction in vaccine induced cancer, as well as other serious vaccine reactions such as hemolytic anemia, and we believe that vaccine technology has improved and significantly reduced risk of any serious reaction to current vaccines.
Many people were strongly influenced by a human medical report in the 1990's that childhood vaccinations caused autism in children. How scary is that? But it was proven completely false, and the physician who wrote the fabricated results has admitted he lied, recanted, and is not able to practice anymore. Yet, people are still influenced by his lie. This has spilled over into the thinking of veterinary clients, causing worry about bad things happening from vaccination, and causing bad decisions about withholding vaccines.
Having lived and practiced veterinary medicine during the parvovirus outbreak of the 1980's when there was no vaccine and a dog's chances of dying in spite of treatment was 50:50, having seen the devastation in our raccoon and fox populations by a rabies epidemic in the early 1990's and the required euthanasia of many animals because there was no wildlife vaccine, working to save Lyme and Leptospirosis-infected pets who have not been vaccinated, knowing that their infections and deaths could have been prevented, these life experiences have provided real and personal proof of the value and protection provided by vaccinations.
Please be assured that we are constantly surveying scientific studies so that we only offer the safest and most effective vaccines to the pets we all love so much.

text: This seems similar to an issue I found on the Premiere forum, but it isn't. The issue is that I discovered a conflict in my to do list. There were five shows from four season passes set to record in the same time slot. I then deleted the season pass that was attempting to record the fifth show. The to do list now shows that the show that was causing the conflict is no longer set to record and all four remaining shows WILL record. OK so far. BUT, if I press the red "C" button to show only conflicts in the to do list, the original conflict remains and pressing INFO on the show that will not record shows that the original conflicting show is still set to record.... even though per the regular to do list it is not. This could be an issue where the conflict list hasn't updated yet, but it has been several hours....... Paul

The nationwide outcry over the 2012 gang rape in New Delhi led the federal government to rush legislation doubling prison terms for rapists to 20 years and criminalizing voyeurism, stalking, acid attacks and the trafficking of women. The law also makes it a crime for officers to refuse to open cases.
But the same gang rape case helped bring down New Delhi's local government in a ballot last month, with many Delhiites questioning how a so-called "fast-track" court took more than seven months to deliver a guilty verdict.
Police in Mumbai earned praise for quickly rounding up five teenagers accused of raping a photojournalist within a day of her reporting the attack, but the death of the girl in West Bengal stoked public demands that police be held accountable for their response to sexual violence.

Departments & Centers | Contact |
The LSU School of Medicine offers the Early Decision Program (EDP). If an applicant wants to apply for EDP, certain rules must be followed.
The MD/PhD program of LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans was established to offer the opportunity for students to train in a program tailored to their individual research interests and medicine. Through this program, students who have an interest in research and academic medicine will combine the curriculum of the School of Medicine with the curriculum of the School of Graduate Studies. Over seven or more years, individuals in the program meet the degree requirements of both the Schools of Graduate Studies and Medicine, thus acquiring the knowledge, skills and experience to begin careers in exciting areas of medical and translational research. It is expected that students graduating from the program will develop into academic physician scientists obtaining faculty positions in basic science or clinical departments in schools of medicine. MD/PhDs will provide leadership in academic medicine and in research related to medicine and human welfare. Acceptance into this combined program must be approved by the School of Medicine Admissions Committee and the MD/PhD Admissions Committee. Accepted students are given a tuition waiver throughout the MD and PhD portions of the program and a stipend during Graduate School and the last two years of Medical School. If at any time during the student's tenure at LSU School of Medicine in New Orleans, the requirements for the MD/PhD program are not satisfied, the student will be required to reimburse the school for any tuition he or she may have received while enrolled here as a medical student.
MD/PhD applicants must be accepted into the MD program before being considered for the combined degree. Please Note: The Deadline to apply for the MD/PhD Program through AMCAS is November 1, 2017; The Secondary Application and letters of recommendation must be completed by December 15, 2017. Applicants are encouraged to complete their applications as early as possible in order to be considered for an interview for the School of Medicine. MD/PhD applicants must be interviewed by the School of Medicine Admissions Committee by the end of February in order to be considered for an interview in early March by the Ph.D. Sub-committee.
Additional information can be obtained by calling (504) 568-6197 or by visiting the website at
4 – Year MD/MPH Dual Degree Program
Make an impact as a physician improving the public's health - and start on an exciting and meaningful career path - with the new LSU 4-year MD/MPH (Master of Public Health) Dual Degree Program. The new program integrates curricula in the School of Medicine and School of Public Health to prepare medical students as excellent clinicians who can improve public health through application of knowledge and skills from one of five public health disciplines.
4—Year MD/MPH Program students at LSU enjoy dynamic coursework, diverse field placements, and outstanding faculty from across the Health Sciences Center—providing them with advanced foundations in the disciplines of clinical medicine and public health improvement—and allowing them to pursue individual interests while they develop critical skill sets for healthcare in the 21st century. The MD/MPH program provides students with the analytical tools to define, evaluate and solve emerging health and health care problems
The five public health programs for concentration are:
Behavioral and Community Health Sciences (BCHS)
BCHS practitioners and scholars learn to identify and understand the role of individual, social, cultural, and bio- behavioral determinants of health. Students will be able to design, implement, and evaluate interventions and policies aimed at improving, promoting, and protecting the health of their patients and the population as a whole.
Biostatistics students develop knowledge of statistical methodology to apply to the study of living organisms and challenges in clinical medicine. Students learn to investigate health problems and identify solutions to improve public health using advanced statistics and quantitative methods.
Evironmental and Occupational Health Sciences (ENHS)
Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences students learn to recognize the public health implications of environmental and occupational factors, with a focus on reducing risk related to exposure to toxins in the environment to better protect human health.
Epidemiology (EPID)
Epidemiology trains students to analyze determinants and distribution of human disease to determine public health trends, design and implement studies, and interpret the results for policy and program development. Physicians use epidemiologic tools to investigate disease origins, conduct research, and develop intervention strategies to prevent disease and promote health.
Health Policy and Systems Management (HPSM)
Health Policy and Systems Management students are prepared for managerial, consulting, and leadership roles in the health services sector. They study and apply the principles of health systems management, with special emphasis on quality, cost effectiveness, and information systems.
Program Requirements
1. Acceptance by LSU School of Medicine, New Orleans
2. Submission of the focused LSU MD/MPH application to the LSU School of Public Health
3. Acceptance by the LSU School of Public Health

Integrated OMS MD Program
The school accepts 4 students into this program every year. They are admitted as second year medical students in conjunction with their selection for residency in oral maxillofacial surgery. The school of medicine accepts their dental education in place of the first year of medical school.
MD Curriculum
Residency year 1/Medical School Year 2
OMS residents are enrolled in all second year medical school systems courses. They do not take the initial Foundations of Disease and Therapy course, Clinical Skills Integration 201, and Clinical Skills Integration 202. They continue to work as residents in the mornings of their first year of residency (while enrolled in medical school organ systems courses). Time is provided to prepare for and take USMLE step 1 during May and June of this year. (35 weeks of instruction)
Residency year 2 /Medical School Year 3
OMS residents are placed on an unpaid leave of absence from residency during this year. They are enrolled in all medical school classes and clerkships beginning with the clerkship preparation course.
They cannot practice under their DDS license (e.g. write orders or prescriptions) while on leave from residency and enrolled as a medical student on medical school rotations. (50 weeks of instruction)
Residency year 3 /Medical School Year 4
OMS residents remain on unpaid leave through the beginning of this year while they take clerkships during the first 5 blocks of their senior year of medical school. The required clerkships are specified below. These clerkships are scheduled by the Office of Student Affairs. The OMS residents cannot practice under their DDS license (e.g. write orders or prescriptions) while on leave from residency and enrolled as a medical student on medical school rotations. Beginning in the sixth block of the senior medical school year, the residents are no longer on unpaid leave from residency. They work under the supervision of the OMS faculty in their residency program for the remainder of the year. They are released to attend the senior special topics course, and for medical school graduation. They are required to take and pass the USMLE Step 2 exams in accordance with the policies of the medical school.
OMS MD Program Senior Year (21 weeks of instruction)
Senior Special Topics and Medical School Graduation in the spring
Rural Scholars Track
Students admitted to the LSU School of Medicine in New Orleans Rural Scholars Track (RST) must meet the same admissions criteria as all other students who are applying to the school. Consequently, admission will be on a competitive basis. There are five spots available in each class. The students who are chosen to enter this track will be selected from applicants who have already been accepted into the entering class. The RST identifies and trains physicians to practice medicine in rural Louisiana. This rural track is in response to the growing shortage of physicians in certain areas of Louisiana. This shortage of physicians causes the inhabitants of these areas to have only limited access to physicians and other health care professionals. In order to be accepted into the RST, you must be an official resident of the State of Louisiana. Interested students must complete an RST application, which may be found as a link following the link to the Secondary Application.
The educational experience during the first two years of medical school is identical to other students in the School of Medicine. Students will participate in core 3rd and 4th year rotations on the LSU Lafayette campus and the surrounding areas. This creates a unique learning environment that fosters the student's understanding of the primary care physician's impact on the community. During their third and fourth years, RST students spend one day a week, every week, working with a rural physician. Students are paired with an LSU approved rural primary care physician of their choosing or a previously identified community LSU faculty physician. While in these rural practices, RST students get a first-hand look at how a rural practice is run, gain a better understanding of the broad scope of rural practice, provide continuity of care for patients over the two years, gain experience doing clinical procedures common in rural practice, and get to know the needs of rural areas for possible future practice location. Rural practice demands a much broader perspective on medicine than traditional medical school training. As a result, students enrolled in the Rural Scholars Track receive an increased emphasis in ambulatory primary care. Training involves a more "hands-on" approach and students are expected to gain competencies in such areas as the treatment of lacerations, sprains, strains, and emergency and trauma management. Training in procedural skills such as esophagogastroduodenoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, performance of biopsies, and resuscitative techniques are also emphasized.
Tuition Exemptions
Students who enroll in this program are eligible for up to four years of exempted tuition. To be eligible, students must contractually agree to: (1) practice in one of six Primary Care specialties (Family Medicine, Pediatrics, General Internal Medicine, Medicine/Pediatrics, Obstetrics/Gynecology) or General Surgery; (2) return to a rural area in Louisiana to practice upon completion of residency; and (3) practice in this rural area for at least five years. If you have any further questions, please contact Dr. Robert L. Eubanks, at email@example.com or Dr. Emilio Russo at firstname.lastname@example.com.
62 Graduates
21 Residents currently in training/3 Fellows currently in training
38 Physicians in practice
24 Students currently enrolled
Projected Impact of the Rural Scholars Track:
BY 2020, an estimated 101 physicians will have graduated from the RST. We anticipate all of them practicing primary care in rural or underserved venues in Louisiana.
Primary Care Track
Students admitted to the LSU School of Medicine in New Orleans Primary Care Track (PCT) must meet the same admissions criteria as all other students who are applying to the school. Consequently, admission will be on a competitive basis. There are variable spots available in each class. The students who are chosen to enter this track will be selected from applicants who have already been accepted into the entering class. The PCT identifies and trains physicians to practice primary medicine in Louisiana. This track is in response to the shortage of primary care physicians and the effect of limited primary care access on quality of care. In order to be accepted into the PCT, you must complete a 1) a primary care/ rural track application and select a box indicating your interest in the PCT, found on the last page of to the Application.
The educational experience during the first two years of medical school is similar to other students in the School of Medicine. Students will be assigned to small groups in years one and two with students who also express interest in primary care and population health. Students will participate in the summer AHEC program between first and second years. Students will have opportunities to do research in Quality improvement or population health with the family medicine department. Students in this track participate in the Family medicine Interest group and may select to be participants in other primary care interest groups such as the rural track. Students participate in a journal club around evidence-based Family/general medicine journal articles, each journal club sponsored by a different primary care residency. Students in this track will have the opportunity to attend the LAFP annual meeting when it is in New Orleans and encouraged to attend when in another location. Students may be asked to complete a series of online modules re: topics of interest to primary care, including medical home or health care coaching. Students in this track have preference for course electives in nutrition and in the DIME/SHINE interprofessional care management program in the second year. They also have preference for participation in a Global Health elective sponsored by Family Medicine through the Bogalusa family medicine residency program. In addition, students in this program participate in a longitudinal experience during their third year in which they spend half day each week in a primary care physician's office. Students are encouraged to identify and write a primary care case report before graduation with a resident/faculty member and submit for publication. This track creates a unique learning environment that fosters the student's understanding of the primary care physician's impact on the community. Training involves a more "hands-on" approach similar to that in the rural track and students are expected to gain competencies in such areas as the treatment of lacerations, sprains, strains, and minor trauma management.
Tuition Exemptions
Students who enroll in this program but who are not also participants in the Rural Track Scholars program are eligible to apply for the Patrick F Taylor Primary Care Scholarship Award: $50,000 distributed $25,000/year for third and fourth year. To be eligible for the Patrick F Taylor Scholarship, students must complete a Primary care/rural track application. Those who are selected must contractually agree to: practice in one of five Primary Care specialties (Family Medicine, Pediatrics, General Internal Medicine, Medicine/Pediatrics, and Geriatrics, in Louisiana for 2 years for every year of the award. If you have any further questions, please contact Dr. Robert L. Eubanks, at email@example.com.
There are a variety of research programs underway in the Medical School which offer accepted students interesting opportunities for work during the summer vacation. The work is stimulating, challenging and educational. Not only will the student be able to learn more about the medical sciences, but the student will also be exposed and become more involved with a particular project while working alongside faculty and other students to possibly contribute new knowledge to a particular area of the medical sciences. These jobs are not necessarily designed exclusively for those who are seeking careers in research or in academic medicine but are also designed for those who would like to know more about research and what it involves. The experience may help make the student a better physician in the future. It will also strengthen the student's curriculum vitae which may assist in obtaining a residency position, particularly if a publication results from the work. However, before deciding upon a summer research project, some consideration should be given to goals. While any of the research programs available will add to the medical experience and be beneficial to the student's career, some involve a more in-depth commitment than others. This is especially true if one is considering applying for the Honors Program, described elsewhere in this document. There are a variety of programs to which the student can apply for stipends during the summer including: American Heart Association of Louisiana, Inc., Cancer Society, March of Dimes, LSUHSC Medical Student Summer Research Fellowships and individual research grants of the faculty. The Student Affairs Office has application forms from several of these agencies.
The Honors Program at LSUHSC supplements the regular curriculum and is designed to challenge the exceptional student while stimulating the interests of the individual. It entails an independent research program which encompasses basic and clinical sciences in the pursuit of a problem of specific interest.
Students who have achieved a high academic standing during their first semester in medical school are eligible for consideration. Interested students may apply between February and May of their freshman year. Additional information and application forms may be found at www.medschool.lsuhsc.edu/honorsprogram/ or may be obtained by contacting, Dr. Paula Gregory, Chairman of the Honors Program Committee, Professor, Department of Genetics at firstname.lastname@example.com Acceptance into this program is based upon information provided in the application, an interview with the Honors Program Committee, and the submission of an outline of the proposed research project.

Social Media has become a great selling mechanism through the art of conversations. It's important to grasp the idea of what works for business and how conversations are potential markets.
Social Media can be related to the old days of trading, where businesses would meet in a local town and before any selling or buying would take place, there would be a long exchange of pleasantries. The businesses would exchange their knowledge and stories of their previous trades, building up their trust for each other. Only after successful relationship building, would the businesses finally trade. Eventually the businesses would part to another town to trade with another business, only for the whole process to repeat. It is likely that the traders would speak well of their experiences and recommend trade with through positive feedback. This is the way that most people would to choose to buy and sell.
In today's world, much has changed and moved on. Thanks to the rise in globalisation, local trade and crafts has moved on to mass production and mass advertising. In the old days, your typical shopping experience consisted of stalls which turned into shopping malls. With electronic communication we gave birth to internet shopping where individuals could buy anything. However the social interaction got lost, conversations with the local grocery store owners diminished which was all the heart of the shopping experience. Inevitably, the mass manufacturers and advertisers had forgotten that consumers talk and will talk about your brand no matter what.
The internet has seen retailers reproduce this conversational feeling by implementing forms where shoppers can record their experiences or recommendations. Sites like Amazon and Ebay have hugely transformed the shopping habits. The book called Clue Train Manifesto written by Levine, Locke, Searls & Weinberger published on the internet in 1999, is one of the original guides of selling electronically. The book is a great read and is highly recommended to any seller or consumer that wants to grasp the foundations of understanding why and how Social Media networking is set to significantly influence the new selling environment on the internet.
Of course, you can buy the book at Amazon here.
Any business can add back the missing conversations that will characterise the selling efforts of the most successful businesses in the coming years. The great news for small businesses is that using freely available Social Networking tools such as Twitter, Linkedin and Facebook can promote meaningful "conversations" about their products that eventually lead to sales.

Copy My Blogging System To Sell Your Online Course. Follow My Step-By-Step Blueprint, Updated For 2017
Update: The links in this post now point to the sale page for the SMARTS program, since the program went live. If you haven't seen the video yet, here's the link: Going Natural 2.0 Video.
Also I called Don Crowther "Dan" in this article and have since fixed it – sorry Don!
StomperNet have released a new video that provides a fantastic discussion of what Social Marketing is, why it's so critical to the future of Internet marketing and ends with three (well four really) practical ways you can use social media sites to drive traffic to your site.
Here's the link –
Social Marketing: Success without SEO, Pay-Per-Click or Affiliates
The video is long – 50 Minutes – and the tips start about half way through, but it's worth watching from start to finish, especially if you have not looked into using social media and Web 2.0 sites as a means to market your blog or business.
I don't know about you, but I can't keep up with all the social media and Web 2.0 talk lately.
Not a day goes by where I don't get some notification from Facebook and given the growth numbers the site is putting up, it won't be long until Facebook rivals MySpace, the current traffic leader.
Then there's YouTube, the video sharing site that apparently every single American who uses the Web goes to watch at least once every day.
…And that only skims the surface. There's social networking sites like LinkedIn, bookmarking sites like Digg and Delicious and collaborative resource sites like Wikipedia. Plus every day a new Web 2.0 site is born offering yet another way to connect with people and drive traffic back to your site.
It's so overwhelming, most of the time I just take a quick look at the few sites I frequent or keep profiles at, then go back and post an article to my blog.
However every now and then something comes out about social marketing that I take notice of because I don't want to be left behind and I trust the source of the information.
The "problem" with social marketing is how different it is to traditional marketing. You can't even smell like you are trying to sell something or just using the site to build links or traffic back to your site, because as soon as you do – BOOM – you are banned.
To make social marketing work you have to…well…be social. Yeah, not surprising, but very true.
Social marketing is about community participation, but you can have a business agenda. You are there first and foremost to be an active and valuable member of a community and if you are smart, use your profile and connections to drive traffic and links back to your site.
Everything has to be organic and friendly – it's actually a wonderful way to market a business because it's like talking to friends. There's no hard sell because hard sell simply doesn't work – it's not even permitted.
When the team at StomperNet sent out a video about social marketing, I knew I had to pay attention. The StomperNet guys know what it takes to drive traffic to websites and convert that traffic into buyers, so I was curious how they would take on this new media.
With the huge resources at StomperNet they can devote entire labs to testing things, and that's exactly what they have done with social marketing.
Don Crowther and his team have been hard at work within StompetNet, testing social marketing to see how they can apply it to build links for SEO purposes, how to attract traffic directly from social media and take advantage of the huge growth in this new form of marketing.
Don's first video is a long one – I watched it while cooking and eating lunch one day this week. It starts with a great introduction to the different components of social marketing and why it's so important, and ends with techniques you can apply immediately to start driving traffic from social media.
Some of the statistics Don presents in the video are quite amazing. I wouldn't be surprised if one day soon, the social media sites attract more traffic than the rest of the entire Internet – including Google. In effect, sites like Facebook are creating entire new Internet worlds, self contained networks with structured communication rules and user numbers that rival the rest of the world wide web.
That's something you can't ignore if you are in the Internet business game – you have to go where the traffic is.
The tips in the second half of the video talk about using three sites – Scribd, Propeller and Digg, and how you can leverage these sites to market your web business.
Nothing Don presents is ground breaking – basically you use the sites as they are intended and earn results. Sadly, most marketers just don't get this, which is why the video is important.
Don points out that Digg has great Google rankings, and just submitting your best content to the site will net some search engine results, even with only one or two votes (diggs). You don't have to make the front page to leverage Digg for traffic, according to Don.
Don offers similar examples of how to use Propeller and Scribd, which essentially surmount to using the sites as they were intended, but doing so with your SEO and Internet marketing hats on. Simple things like embedding links into your submissions to improve your site's SEO can net results because many social marketing sites have high PageRank and enjoy authority status in search engines.
If you don't understand how social marketing works and how you can use Web 2.0 sites to as an SEO and traffic tool without getting yourself banned, this video from StomperNet is worth watching.
It's free and you can view it here –
Social Marketing: Success without SEO, Pay-Per-Click or Affiliates
The video is a lead-up sample for their latest release, which is called StomperSMARTS – a coaching program for getting the most out of social marketing.
If you are interested in joining the program, make sure you opt-in to their email list when you go to the page with the video. The video is entirely free and you don't have to opt-in to watch it. The coaching program is released Friday 11th January at 2PM Eastern USA time.

Fantastic Yaro. Social marketing is definitely booming
Thanks for video and your insightful summery, Yaro. This is a very informative video. The challenge I face (and I'm guessing most others as well) is that keeping up and working through the web 2.o process can be very time consuming on the front end unless you get very organized. Posting and keeping up with responses and latest posts on your chosen social media sites can easily take a few hours a day. I'm hoping to discover how to more efficiatly participate in the social media marketing.
Great post Yaro!
Many marketers under utilize Web 2.0 technologies because they think it's a waste of time… Well I highly disagree! Social marketing is an excellent way to pick up JV's for future product promos!
Have An Amazingly Profitable Day,
Theo Baskind
P.S. I was wondering if you'd be interested in doing a blog link exchange with me?
Hey Yaro, you know it is funny that you posted this today because I just found it yesterday and watched it twice…also while eating lunch.
I think one of the things that is frustrating for me, is that I am a total novice to social media. When I first signed up for Plime, for example, I was banned within two days.
How is that for fast action?
So, by trial and error I found out how to navigate and participate there.
Anyway, my question to you is, have you written anything like a quick guide to social media sites?
Might be a good post or product for you to offer.
See you in the forums!
I've been wondering what the 3rd social site that he recommended would be. I haven't been able to watch the last 10-12 minutes of the video for some reason; it never lets me get past that point.
OK I guess I still don't get it. I joined Facebook per recommendations for Thiry Day Challenge. I joined because my understanding was that as a part of a small group of "friends" we would send each other "love" and improve our rankings. That sounds good.
However, I am baffled at sending each other beers and showing different faces for moods and sending links to all kinds of videos. Who has the time for this – and who cares. I wish all these "friends" well with their internet businesses and I will do my part – but I have real-time friends and don't care about this.
Am I missing something?
Great Video I actually made some notes from this one.
Oh I wish I had money to join the StomperNet program.
Someday soon.
Blaine the one's I made note of are
and of course it already talks about stuff Yaro is teaching us in his Blog Mastermind program about
Submitting your best stuff, adding value, submitting other's stuff and also bookmarking any sites that mention your site.
Also they mention SocialMarker.com. That one is a life saver I use it all the time. As they point out initially it is time consuming to get you all set up straight across the board but once your set submitting anything to the sites it allows you to submit to takes maybe 15 minutes tops. If you have firefox you can get a button that you can drag and drop into the tool bar that will give you one touch access to SocialMarker anytime you need it.
There is one other still emerging digglike site for firefox called trailfire. I just installed it about two weeks ago and haven't had time to really test it out but it looks promising.
Hope some of this helped you out in regards to getting what you missed.
IN regards to your comment about Facebook. It is good karma on that site to do the silly things as well as the serious things. I had more people on Facebook wish me a happy birthday then I did my real life friends. When you go out with friends in real life don't you sometimes buy them a soda or a coffee. Don't you offer them a high five or a hug or poke them to get their attention.
If you have a favorite sport don't you show your team spirit in real life. What about your movie knowledge don't you share that with real life friends.
Many of these applications on Facebook enable folks who are making friends on the net a way to do in cyber space what they can't in real life due to distance. I have friends in England and a friend in Hungary who I will probably never meet and the cool app's that Facebook has allows me to have fun with them clear across the ocean here in Kansas.
So I hope that made some sense and now Yaro I will get off your blog for the day and let you back to running it *W*. I am sometimes too passionate about social networking on the internet only cause I know first hand how powerful it can be.
Great article and I will certainly make the time to watch the vid this weekend.
I couldnt help but add comment to nan's comment.
Yes, I think you have missed the point.
If all you are trying to do is to build links and make money through social networking and you don't enjoy it – sounds like a job to me.
And having a "job" was not on my agenda when I wanted to work for myself.
I have only been on Facebook for a few months and yes, I agree with you about the drinks and other widget stuff – I tend to stay away from that – but what I am trying to do is to join groups, add to the discussion forums and help people who are asking for help.
this does give me the links for my SEO stuff, I suppose (and yes, I am here in this business world to make money and profit) but this is the cherry on the cake for me.
Building relatinoships with people either online or face to face is crucial to business, isn't it. Facebook allows you to have conversations with people and build those relationships
And it is the human beings that spend the money with you, isn't it? – not the search engines.
I thought the video was great and the followup guide offers six additional ways of using social media as social marketing. The tips are immediately actionable and a great example of what you offer in your Blueprint. Many people will use social media as their portal to all the internet offers because of the security and trust that is provided by affiliation and controlled networking. Savvy marketers will understand the importance of contributions versus selling.
Any advice for Facebook would be good. I did think that the Social Bookmarking site was a great thing, and yes it took forever to set up.
I tested it with a Squidoo and another website I like–and sometimes hit glitches.
Happy to hear about Trail Fire. Be sure to read the StomperNet PDF. More valuable tips in there that are NOT in the video…gotta go 5 seconds to StomperNet launch!
I operate businesses in 3 very different niche markets and find that different social networking sites are better for certain topics.
Business topics do better on Reddit, Stumbleupon and can do well on Myspace over time
Topics of mass appeal such as weight loss, personal finance, politics do well on Digg, Facebook, Myspace, StumbleUpon
Bottom line is that you need to watch the top posts, take a look at the groups and forums and see if your topic is widely covered, if not, move on.
I have achieved some results on Digg, Propeller and StumbleUpon… But Reddit and Delicious never have worked for me.. I guess that it could be due to my specific niches.
The problem for many people is that they get the idea of submitting content to social media but don't actually do any of the social part connected with this. If you want to compare Facebook to blogs all it is is a platform for communication while blogs are disconnected mostly from the rest of all blogs. Once bloggers submit comments between blogs then there is more of a community aspect to the blogs themselves.
If you look at Facebook you get a chance to interact even with almost no content except a profile and maybe some pictures, Facebook adds the apps for the rest of the communication.
Hi Yaro
Thanks so much for posting the link – the video is really useful. I love how the internet has moved from being 'faceless' to a huge community. For me the internet is about making a connection and therefore I can see why social networking sites have exploded in use.
[…] social marketing at a blog titled Entrepreneur's Journey, specifically an article entitled 3 Social Marketing Tips You Can Implement Today – The particular blog post was about a new video and service by […]
Yaro, I have seen the video, great presentation. Do you or anyone here know if they have an affiliate program?
Yaro, I have been trying to get people to recognize the benefits of social marketing. Last year I started a branding project of trying to earn the title "Queen of Social Network Marketing". The reason I started this branding project is because I have seen the benefits of contributing good content to social networks. It's been an exciting experience so far. I have two of the top groups on Bumpzee and a fast growing group on BlogCatalog. Anyway, I have a lot of say about social marketing and I am posting the progress of the project on my blog > Queen of Social Network Marketing Project
Since I didn't join Yaro's coaching program a couple of months ago I'm really curious as to how that stacks against Stomper Net's latest venture into social marketing.
Cost wise Yaro beats out the world but does he teach the same philosophy as Stomper Net? I know Stomper Net coaching program just started but for people starting out like me it would be nice to know that we would definitely be getting our moneys worth with Yaro's course.
thanks for the feedback,
Hey Jim,
My program has a different slat – it's all blogging, so I don't think it's really relevant to compare it to StomperSMARTS at all. They compliment each other very well though 😉
Social media/marketing definitely has its place when you are trying to sell on the Internet. If you can get hooked into the proper group, or get a top Stumbler on your side, then it is all good!
Social marketing is indeed very powerful, but many people tent to abuse this system. Either by creating multiple accounts, pay someone to add his/her own websites, etc.
If not use wisely, it could be harmed more than useful.
Hey Yaro,
I think I have one slight advantage when it comes to social networking, it's called a 15 year old daughter. LOL!
But it's true, we were in the hospital this past Friday for her chemo treatment and she was on the computer on a new one, I was like, "What site is that?"
"Mom that's a new one I'm having fun with, cool features."
I can't remember which one it is when I do I'll let you know.
The ONLY one I've ever taken to liking is Facebook. But I have to admit it does feel "strange" mixing personal family members with any marketers I may know in my friends list.
What do you think about that?
Hey Yaro,
I just watched the video a little longer than 50 minutes.
It is great… I will try few of the sugestions.
I want to thank you for sending the link to me. And I just want to let you know that big part of the reason that I can find my page listed on the first page when searching for "PHOTOGRAPHER IN FORT LAUDERDALE" on Google is because of all your help.
If anybody is getting married here in USA or even there in Australia, and need a Photographer, please visit my site.
Paulo Jordao
Yes, social bookmarking is very important now for marketing. It was just big boom some time ago, im curious what next gonna be after social revolution? :>
It was a great video, shame it spoilt scribd for all of us who were using it responsibly. Since that video was released scribd have removed all links in documents published and so you can get great rankings super fast, but no way to monetise that traffic any more.
Blowing the cover on what was a great technique to sell a product is not very SMART if you ask me.

Birkirkara FC refuses resignations - senior coach will not get new contract
The Birkirkara FC committee has rejected the resignation of Joe Abela as Technical Advisor, and Joe B Grech as Team Manager. In their resignation letters, sent to the club earlier this week, they expressed their deep regret over what happened in the FA Trophy semi-final match against Floriana FC, when in the last substitution, the team ended up playing with five foreign players. They explained that although that it was a genuine mistake, they still felt responsible and that they should resign.
The committee said it did not accept their resignations.
The committee also decided it was not in a position to offer new contracts to the Senior Coach Paul Zammit and Assistant Coach Branko Nisevic. The Club would like to thank them for their hard work, dedication and integrity.
The club saif it would be releasing the players Nikola Vukanac, Ibrahim Babatunde, Michael Fraser, Rodolfo Kumbrevicius and Andrei Agius.

Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis said Tuesday that he expects new QB Jason Campbell to spark a turnaround in his franchise that he admitted has slumped through the past seven years.
"I really predict great things for (Campbell)," Davis said in an interview with Sirius NFL Radio. "I hope he doesn't let me down. I don't think he will.
Added Davis, "this team has a lot of potential and a lot of great young players."
The Raiders haven't had a winning season since reaching the Super Bowl after the 2002 season. Davis, 81, said he expects Campbell to inject a spark into this year's squad like Jim Plunkett did into the 1980 team that went on to win the Super Bowl:
"I see this young Jason Campbell as a football player like I saw Jim Plunkett. He has everything. He was 13-0 in college at Auburn. He can throw up the field, he can run, he's big, he's smart."
Davis also admitted to the frustration he felt over the past seven years, when his Raiders won a collective 29 games. In the first three years of the 2000s, the Raiders won 33 games, culminating in the Super Bowl XXXVII appearance:
"So we thought that the decade of the 2000s would be ours. But boy we slipped. We slumped. And now we come into the year 2010 and I really liken this team a great deal to the team of 1980 in which the great Jim Plunkett pulled us out of the doldrums, took us to the Super Bowl as a wild card and we had so many great players who eventually made their way into the Hall of Fame."
The Raiders' seven-year stretch of incompetence was punctuated in May by the release of 2007 No. 1 overall pick JaMarcus Russell, who won just seven games in three seasons. He was cut after the Raiders acquired Campbell from the Washington Redskins in April.
Davis said despite his age, his competitive fire and his contributions to the team have not waned.
"I think we have our stamp on this team," Davis said. "It's our personnel, it's our picks, it's our want to be great once again, to join the ranks of the elite and get back that number-one rating in terms of wins and losses since we've come into the league. "

Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State. Davis' succession of our esteemed colleague Sean Leahy at The Huddle is considered a Brady-for-Bledsoe swap by most "insiders."More about Nate

This isn't a direct answer to your question, but it
might be useful anyway:
In[17]:= f[s_] := Check[FindMinimum[(x-s)^2, {x, 0, -1, 1}],
{(Abs[s] - 1)^2, {x -> Sign[s]}},
In[18]:= f[.5]
Out[18]= {0., {x -> 0.5}}
In[19]:= f[2]
Reached the point {0.} + 1. {1.} which is outside the region {{-1., 1.}}.
Out[19]= {1, {x -> 1}}
In[20]:= f[-3]
Reached the point 1. {-1.} + {0.} which is outside the region {{-1., 1.}}.
Out[20]= {4, {x -> -1}}

This is apparently an original unmasked picture of Fett that McQuarie drew up. It looks alot like what the Mandalorian ancestors are described as. Did Karen Traviss plan this?

This is apparently an original unmasked picture of Fett that McQuarie drew up. It looks alot like what the Mandalorian ancestors are described as. Did Karen Traviss plan this?
No it's not a Taung, this is:
IF that's a McQuarie drawing (and the style looks different to those pictures of his I've seen), then I can only assume it's his take what Boba might've looked like without the helmet on. How could Karen Traviss have planned it?
Why does the second pic remind me of a predator?
That first picture of Fett is not McQuarrie art.
There are some predator-esq overtones to the Taung design. I think it's just what someone liked, and LFL bought into it because of the badass look that sells comics. =)
Interestingly enough, this artists rendition of what Boba Fett looks like under his buy'ce is actually quite similar to the appearance of the male of the Zygerrian race from Star Wars and almost nothing like any of the pictures of Taung I have seen.
The artist that painted that for the TOPPS SW GALAXY series 1 is Dan Brereton. And like Chakaar said, it was completely his imagining of what he might look like.
Dan Brereton created this artwork back in 1993, and this was a time when noone knew what Boba Fett really looked like underneath the helmet. (It was Dan Brereton's guesswork of what Boba Fett may have possibly looked like without his helmet. ) This artwork was created long before the 1st Star Wars prequel or even the 1997 Star Wars "Special Edition" movies. ( No one knew at that time that Boba Fett was a clone of Jango Fett. ) This artwork was also created long before Karen Travis wrote any of the Star Wars books.
I mean it's signed Brereton...not that easy to miss
it's always fun to see two year old threads brought back to life and the conversation continue like it was never gone. lol :p
Yet it's better than starting a new thread for the same thing and having someone yell "USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION, DUMMY".
And you never know, it might get an interesting conversation rolling again.
I LOVE that artwork by Dan and even contacted him years and years ago about doing some additional artwork of that character's face. I love the idea that this is indeed what Boba Fett looked like... much better than the way it ended up with the whole Jango/Clone story line. Sadly, I have been so out of the loop, I don't even know who that other character is...
If you mean the predator-looking guy, wasn't he supposed to be "Mandalore" or something?
If not him, that other, other guy in this thread is Bossk. You're not THAT out of the loop are you, Art? LOL :)
