Historically, Paris has been the cosmopolitan center of the West, bringing artists together from around the globe to partake in an unprecedented cultural exchange. Students in this program devote themselves to experiencing the art and culture of Paris as they visit the masterpieces, museums, and architectural monuments of the French capital. Using the city's unparalleled cultural resources, participants consider how art has developed throughout its various periods. The classroom is the City of Light itself, with on-site lectures as well as field trips to historic locations addressing the contributions of French artists and architects to the Western world.
Do not purchase airline tickets until advised to do so by International Programs.
Session details are not currently available for this program. For more information, please email email@example.com.
This program is open to all students interested in studying the art, architecture, and museums of Paris. However, completion of ARH 2051: History & Criticism of Art II is highly recommended. There will be an online component to this program before going abroad. Assignments will be scheduled six weeks before the program begins.
Students reside in comfortable accommodations at the Cité Universitaire, an international campus built and maintained by countries from all over the world. Rooms are private with en suite bathroom. Students may prepare meals in shared kitchens or purchase inexpensive meals in the campus cafeteria.
Plans may change due to unexpected events and/or new opportunities. Cultural immersion and social events planned for this program may include:

The biggest factor in deciding when and where to study abroad is often the financial aspect. In fact, too many students assume they cannot afford to participate, missing out on an invaluable opportunity because they are not aware of alternative methods of funding. The Financial Assistance Coordinator at International Programs (IP) is dedicated to helping students through the financial aid application process by conducting financial aid workshops on a regular basis in addition to meeting personally with each student needing assistance. Students who have received some form of financial aid throughout their collegiate careers, as well as those completely new to the process, receive expert care every step of the way. We also help concerned parents! Additionally, students are strongly encouraged to contact the Financial Aid Office at their home school as early as possible. Finally, Florida State students will find additional helpful information on the FSU Financial Aid website.
Please review Understanding the Financial Aid Process for Students Studying Abroad to explore a range of issues for students who anticipate receiving any type of financial assistance. This is a document created just for FSU IP students and families, with step-by-step guidance for the process.
Florida Bright Futures scholarship funds may be used toward a semester abroad. Florida Bright Futures Scholarship funds are available during the fall and spring terms only.

The Florida-Costa Rica Linkage Institute, known as FLORICA, was created in 1986, authorized by the Florida Legislature in 1987, and formalized by an agreement signed by the State University System of Florida, the Florida Community College System and the Council of Rectors of Costa Rican Universities (CONARE). Since its beginning, FLORICA has been administered for Costa Rica by CONARE and on behalf of the State of Florida by The Florida State University and Valencia College, with co-directors appointed from each institution.
FLORICA has strong credibility both in Florida and Costa Rica as a stimulus and a catalyst. The Institute has interfaced broadly in Costa Rica with public and private institutions and agencies including all the public universities.
Costa Rican citizens who have applied and been accepted in a Florida public university or community college may apply for out-of-state tuition waivers through the Florida-Costa Rica Institute Non-Resident Tuition Exemption Program.

The Florida-France Linkage Institute was created by the Legislature of the State of Florida in 1989. Over the years, the scope of activities and outreach of the Institute have grown considerably; in Florida, in France, and in the départments of the French Caribbean. The Florida-France Linkage Institute is administered by The University of South Florida in partnership with Florida State University and Miami-Dade College. The educational mission of each of these institutions lends an unusual and unique diversity to the joint co-sponsorship of the Florida-France Linkage Institute. The Florida-France Linkage Institute is supported on behalf of France by the office of the French Consulate-General in Miami.
The Florida-France Linkage Institute utilizes the resources of the State University System and the Community College System. The Institute also serves as a clearinghouse for inter-institutional and community networking to bring projects and activities to college and university campuses.
Thus, the Florida-France Linkage Institute places a high priority on its mission to serve as a facilitator for international tourism, trade, economic development, and business for the Office of Tourism, Trade and Economic Development (OTTED).

For sixty years, Florida State University's International Programs has been committed to providing a rewarding academic and cultural experience that enriches the lives of our students. Our highest priority is and always has been the welfare and security of our students.
Program directors maintain contact with our Tallahassee office, local authorities, and United States officials, both at home and abroad. Each program holds meetings with students in which safety procedures and precautions are detailed and regularly re-emphasized. Each program has an Emergency Plan which includes details about local health care facilities, meeting points and procedures, and contingency plans and funds should it ever become necessary to evacuate our students.
Students are reminded to inform International Programs of the details of their independent travel details via our online travel form, heed US State Department travel advisories, and take relevant emergency and US Embassy/Consulate contact information with them.
Students venture abroad to experience other cultures, and to gain a deeper appreciation of their role as American citizens in the world. FSU International Programs is fully committed to helping students realize these aspirations in a safe and secure learning environment.
FSU International Programs encourages program participants to consider purchasing travel insurance. Travel insurance comes in many forms and can protect you in case you need to change your travel plans due to unforeseen circumstances. The coverage ranges from help with lost baggage to delay in flight plans to trip cancellation.
Travel insurance that covers fees associated with changing your airfare plans is especially helpful for those attending programs that require entry or student visas. Immigration approval can take months with regulations changing often that can cause the need to delay or cancel flight plans. Often airfare arrangements are non-refundable or cannot be changed without fee penalties. Certain types of trip cancellation insurance will reimburse you the cost of your airfare or penalty fees. Travel Insurance must cover failure to obtain visa.
You may wish to begin researching travel insurance and trip cancellation policies by using the Travel Insurance Review website. Their Travel Insurance 101: The Complete Guide to Travel Insurance section is particularly helpful for those just beginning their research. They also have a section that allows you to compare different policies.
In compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, the Florida State University study center safety guides include institutional policies concerning campus security, such as policies concerning alcohol and drug use, crime prevention, the reporting of crimes, sexual assault, and other matters. The report also contains statistics for the previous three years concerning reported crimes that occurred on campus, in certain off campus buildings or property owned or controlled by The Florida State University; and on public property within or immediately adjacent and accessible from the campus. A paper copy is available upon request to FSU International Programs at A5500 University Center, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL 32306-2420, or by contacting FSU International Programs at (850) 644-3272 or (800) 374-8581.

Gunplay 'Drop': House Arrest Won't Stop New Single
Gunplay is in a lot of trouble with the law right now, but that hasn't stopped the rapper from making music.
He released the new track "Drop" today, and the song ironically involves him running a quick "errand," which he obviously cannot do at the moment, as the Maybach Music Group MC is under house arrest, after turning himself in for armed robbery back in October.
After being released on $150,000 bond, the "Rap Sheet" rapper apparently went right back to work on his forthcoming LP, Medellin, which is scheduled for release by Def Jam in early 2013.
The Money on the Carpet creator was also recently involved in an altercation involving 50 Cent and his crew at the 2012 BET Hip Hop awards show. Hopefully house arrest will help him settle down a little bit and focus on his music.
The track features insistent synths that lend an air of unease to his rap about dropping off drugs. Considering the subject matter, maybe house arrest isn't really affecting him at all.

SAN ANTONIO >> Early Sunday evening, LeBron James will gather his Miami Heat teammates around him and offer a few final words of wisdom before they try to extend their reign as NBA champions.
James never rehearses the speech, but already knows what the gist will be.
"It would be in the range of, 'Why not us?"' James said Saturday. "Why not us? History is broken all the time. And obviously we know we're against the greatest of odds."
Against the greatest of odds, against maybe the greatest of San Antonio Spurs teams, too. Both are very much against the Heat now, and both are winning. The Spurs are a victory away from their fifth championship, and will go for it at home Sunday night in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
The Spurs are the 32nd team in NBA history to hold a 3-1 lead in the finals. All 31 of the previous teams have won the title.
"History is made to be broken, and why not me be a part of it? That would be great," James said. "That would be a great story line, right? But we'll see what happens. I've got to live in the moment, though, before we even get to that point."
The Spurs have the same way of thinking.
They took command of the finals in stunning fashion by not just winning in Miami, but winning twice — and winning big. San Antonio won Games 3 and 4 on the road by a combined 40 points, never trailing by more than two in either contest and running out to 25-point leads in each.
"We've got to act like we're coming into it like it's a road game," Spurs guard Danny Green said. "It's a mentality thing. We have to come up with the same mentality we do on the road and try to protect home court and play with desperation."
There was no talk from the Spurs on Saturday about closing in on a title, or anything remotely close to that topic. They thought they had it wrapped up with 28 seconds left in Game 6 last season against Miami and saw it slip away — so even with a 3-1 lead and being at home instead the road for this potential clinching situation, it's pretty clear that San Antonio isn't willing to leave anything to chance.
"They're going to come out and give us their best punch possible," Spurs star Tim Duncan said. "We know that they're back-to-back champs and they've been in this situation before and they have all the confidence in the world that they can win these games. So we have to do just the same. Come out there and say, hey, we're going to take it little by little, quarter by quarter, and see what happens."
That all sounds good, and he meant every word.
Thing is, the Heat — these Heat, anyway — haven't been in this situation before. Since James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh teamed up, the Heat have never trailed 3-1 in a series.
Until now.
"We're not so entitled or jaded that we're above having to fight for it, and that's what it is right now," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "It's competition. So we've got to find a way to fight and get this next game, and that's what it's all about."
Miami took a day off Friday. Mario Chalmers played with his son, James watched some film and rested at home, Udonis Haslem tried to relax with family. Wade, who missed nine of his first 10 shots — raising questions about his health — went a different way.
He went into the gym, by himself, looking for answers.
"I have very good reason that everything could change," Wade said. "As I continue to say throughout the season, it's a game-to-game thing."
Wade was down 2-0 in the 2006 finals, and trailed by 13 points in the fourth quarter of Game 3 of that series against Dallas. The Heat won that championship in six games.
"You have to pull from your experiences," Wade said, "and know where you came from to know where you're trying to go."
That also applies to the Spurs.
Losing the last two games of the finals last year still stings San Antonio. That series was portrayed widely as the Spurs' last hurrah — an aging team with old stars, there's no way they could come back from something as devastating as letting the 2013 championship slip away, right?
The Spurs finished with the best record in the regular season, and are one win shy of just being the best team, period.
"Whatever success anyone has is due to a lot of factors," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "Some of it is not even your doing. Sometimes things just happen. So success is a pretty complicated thing."
So are comebacks.
But James is eager for the chance.
"For me, it's like you either don't make the playoffs or you win a championship," James said. "There's no in-between."

It's time to get back to Hardware mode again.
Payu was a little distracted the last two months with his race team, and setting up new divisions of the Enigma Global (Enigma Apparel, Enigma Technologies). And left the back door of TLA open for people to sneak in and out of at their discretion, which causes some minor set back within the organization.
No more.
The man is back on point, and with everything is back online. It's time to go full speed ahead, to finish off the 2011 season strong. Here are a few things cooking in TLA workshop the last few weeks..
– With it's new partners, TLA will be doubling it's budget for 2012 which means more "fly-away" games.
– Aggressive push for Enigma Apparel both in Thailand, and oversea, starting with outfitting TLA "in-house" team gears and it's athletes.
– It's time to "staged the deck" for 2012. TLA is picking up 2 more MLL players as TLA's "Clinicians/Officers".
– Work continue with rescheduling setting up games with Singapore (SLA) and Hong Kong (HKLA) in the fouth quarter of the year.
– After months of postponement, construction is back online and Thailand Lacrosse finally get it's new office:
– TLA legal team IS filing a lawsuit toward Tribalhead for a Copyright infringement.
– Thailand and STX is working closely on the 2012 Cell line for TLA.
– Thailand Lacrosse ironing out the final details with the APLU for hosting the 2012 ASPAC.
– New staffs are being hired, and some players are being "let go" #itshousecleaningtime
– Payu started discussion with Easton Lacrosse about outfitting the team with Easton's Raptor helmets.
Hang tight.. there are more coming, now that the system is back online it will stayed on FOR A WHILE.

I was really proud of Lauren and Katelyn. They did a great job on the plane and were such great troopers in walking for miles and miles and hours and hours. They were really great. Just wish that jet lag wouldn't have been so rough on us while we were there.
We decided an apartment would not only be cheaper than a hotel, but also more fun. We were able to get one that was about a 15 minute walk from Notre Dame. It was really great even though it was only about 25' x 25'. But it was definitely cozy and fun.
The back half of our apartment (the kitchenette is behind the tv--that's how small it was and the fridge is next to the bed on the other wall) |
And here is the front half (including futon, fireplace, and fridge) |
On our daily walk, we passed by a really beautiful Cathederal. The first day the girls saw the stained glass windows and asked if we could go in. It was SO beautiful. I don't know why it wasn't on the list of things to see there in Pairs. We were so glad we went in!

Katelyn actually cried and said she wanted to stay. I think both Lauren and Katelyn had a fantastic time and enjoyed being in another country where a completely different language was spoken and where things were very much different from our life back home.

Tarzan Finds a Son carries more credulity and believable jungle adventure than the long list of preceding Tarzan features.
Tarzan Finds a Son carries more credulity and believable jungle adventure than the long list of preceding Tarzan features.
Tarzan and the Missus save a baby in plane that crashes in the jungle. Tarzan is proudly teaching his accepted son the jungle lore, when a searching party arrives to establish death of the baby, who has come into heavy inheritance. Ian Hunter and Frieda Inescort are out to grab the inheritance for themselves, and start plotting death of Tarzan and snatch of the youngster. Johnny Weissmuller athletically runs and swims through as the ape-man in okay fashion. Maureen O'Sullivan is the jungle wife, and gets in some good dramatic work in battling against herself to give up the youngster. Tarzan's boy, little Johnnie Sheffield, does nicely and performs his athletic chores satisfactorily.Tarzan Finds a Son

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's lawyers won't get additional time to argue against death penalty, judge rules
A federal judge has declined to grant more time to defense attorneys to prepare arguments against the death penalty for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the alleged Boston Marathon bomber.
US District Court Judge George A. O'Toole Jr. said he wouldn't intervene in an internal process that the US Department of Justice has set up to determine whether prosecutors should pursue the death penalty against a defendant.
Under the process, which takes place before a trial, defense attorneys can submit input to the US attorney's office, which then sends its recommendation, along with the defense attorneys' input, to the Justice Department in Washington, where the attorney general makes the ultimate decision on whether to seek the death penalty.
Tsarnaev, 20, faces numerous federal charges, including some that could bring him the death penalty, in the twin bombings near the Boston Marathon finish line on April 15 that killed three people and wounded more than 260 others.
In a four-page ruling this afternoon, Judge O'Toole said that the Justice Department had the sole authority to determine whether to seek the death penalty, and he had no legal say in the matter.
"The decision whether to seek the imposition of the death penalty on the defendant's conviction of any of these offenses rests with the prosecution," the judge said. He declined a request by the defense that he postpone an Oct. 24 deadline that prosecutors had set for the defense to submit their arguments against the death penalty.
"What the defendant asks is that the Court set dates for events occurring not in the course of the judicial proceeding but rather in the course of the [Justice Department's] internal deliberations. That would be well beyond the scope of any inherent authority to manage judicial business," O'Toole wrote.
Prosecutors from US Attorney Carmen Ortiz's office indicated in court filings earlier this week that they plan to move forward with an Oct. 31 self-imposed deadline to decide whether to recommend the death penalty.
Tsarnaev and his brother, Tamerlan, also allegedly fatally shot an MIT police officer in Cambridge before engaging in a gunfight with police in Watertown several days after the bombing. Tamerlan, 26, was killed in that episode when he was shot by police and run over by his own brother.
In another development in the Marathon bombing story today, the Boston FBI, the State Police, and Boston police issued a statement denying that law enforcement had identified the Tsarnaevs before Tamerlan was killed in the Watertown shootout early on the morning of April 19.
The agencies acknowledged that the Joint Terrorism Task Force had been at MIT in Cambridge on April 18. MIT Police Officer Sean Collier was killed that night before the brothers fled toward Watertown. But the statement said that the task force had been at the university "on a matter unrelated to the Tsarnaev brothers."
"To be absolutely clear: No one was surveilling the Tsarnaevs and they were not identified until after the shootout. Any claims to the contrary are false," the statement said.
US Senator Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican, this week wrote the FBI director in Washington, asking whether the FBI was conducting surveillance in Central Square on the night of April 18 and whether the agency was surveilling the brothers, their associates, or acquaintances.

The National Association of Manufacturers, the Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America and Business Roundtable recently filed their opening brief with the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in their suit against the Securities and Exchange Commission challenging the final SEC rule implementing Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, commonly referred to as the "conflict minerals rule." As reported in Corporate and Financial Weekly Digest of August 24, 2012, the conflict minerals rule mandates disclosure and reporting requirements regarding the use by issuers of certain minerals sourced from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and adjoining countries.
In their brief, the petitioners argue that the court should strike down the conflict minerals rule for the following reasons: (1) the SEC failed to conduct a proper cost-benefit analysis and, in particular, did not determine whether the rule would achieve the intended benefit for the DRC and underestimated the rule's costs to issuers; (2) the SEC misconstrued the statute in concluding that it could not adopt a de minimis exception to the rule; (3) the rule wrongly requires due diligence and a Conflict Minerals Report from companies that merely have a "reason to believe" their minerals "may have originated" in the covered region (rather than limiting the rule's application to companies whose minerals "did originate" in the region); (4) the SEC failed to justify its decision to require companies to trace minerals back to the smelter or refiner, even though commenters suggested the far less burdensome approach to use "flow-down" clauses in contracts to require suppliers not to source conflict minerals from the covered countries; (5) the SEC mistakenly interpreted the statute to apply to companies that do not manufacture any products and merely contract for the manufacture of products; (6) the rule is internally inconsistent because it gives smaller issuers four years to create the infrastructure necessary to trace conflict minerals in their supply chain, while giving larger issuers only two years, despite acknowledging that many large issuers cannot meet their obligations under the rule without obtaining information from smaller companies; and (7) the rule compels speech in violation of the First Amendment by requiring companies to describe their products as "not DRC conflict free," even in circumstances in which a company is simply unable to trace their supply chains to determine their minerals' origins, thereby forcing companies to associate themselves falsely with groups engaged in human rights violations. (Brief of Petitioners, National Association of Manufacturers v. SEC, No. 12-1422 (D.C. Cir. filed Jan. 16, 2013), ECF No. 1415549.)
The SEC's brief is due on March 1.

Geller based the posters around typical responses to 'you should message me if...', 'on a typical Friday night I'm...' and 'six things I could never do without'.AdvertisementWhat's hilarious about the posters is the answers like 'Wes Anderson', 'My friends!

The series is a part of the Committee's plans to systematically broaden the LBF's work to preserve the history, culture and flavor of Louisiana Law. The goal is to put into place a system for regularly recording oral histories of retiring judges, bar leaders and other legal personalities. These video presentations will then be available for use in classrooms, Continuing Legal Education seminars and other venues to preserve, honor, and improve our system of justice.
