Thursday, Feb. 19 Lecture by Byron Price | True to Life? The Equine and Equestrian Art of Frederic Remington | 6 PM at Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art. The most celebrated and prolific American equine ne e and equestrian artist of his day, Frederic Remington painted and sculpted thousands of horses of every breed and station and considered the oft repeated adage “he knew the horse,” a worthy epitaph. Although the artist’s stirring portrayals of equines in action called into question the impact of photography on his work, among late nineteenth century American artists, his images of horses and riders were in a class by themselves, and were the standard by which other such work was judged.

TAKING LEADERS ABROAD OU LEADERSHIP PROGRAM TEACHES THE WORLDWIDE MEANING OF LEADERSHIP
ASHLEY GEARY | @ASHLEYMGEARY The Michael F. Price College of Business is offering a study abroad program to Costa Rica for students in the JCPenney leadership program this spring break. Ana Bolino, assistant professor of management and education abroad programs coordinator, said the study abroad program is offered to first- or second-year students who are enrolled in the course “Topics in Management.” Participants will have the opportunity to meet with companies such as VMware, Wal-Mart and Baxter Healthcare, learn how leadership differs in diverse countries and meet with business leaders, Bolino said. “It’s an interesting program because [the students] meet with some very interesting companies,” Bolino said. Students will also have the opportunity to visit a coffee plantation and learn about wind energy and renewals, Bolino said. “The students will figure out different forms of leadership and what it means in another country,” Bolino said.
TOUR&
Crystal Clayton, director of the JCPenney Leadership Center, said the trip is during spring break because she likes the idea of meshing the class with a learning experience. Clayton said students get to apply theory to real-life circumstances on this study abroad trip. “I like that we’re learning in the classroom environment right up to going on the trip, so the information students are getting is fresh and timely, and the theory they’re learning can automatically be applied in a cross-cultural setting,” Clayton said. Clayton said students enjoy learning about leadership theories in a cross-cultural setting. “There’s a lot of value in that it’s automatically connecting the theoretical to practical and makes knowledge more alive to the students,” Clayton said.

SPRING FASHION 2015 NEW STYLES EMERGE WITH THE WARMER WEATHER SPRING BRINGS
EMILY SHARP | @ESHARP13
W
ith New York Fashion Week ending in fall 2014, trends are dancing in our heads and as spring break approaches, it’s time for a review of the hottest trends for spring. Women are seeing an emphasis on shirtdresses, gingham, Polo-style shirts, yellow, blue and white, head to toe white and showing the shoulders. Baring your shoulders is in, according to Popsugar and it’s perfect for spring break when tank tops and strapless dresses never fail. For guys, stripes, denim, red and blue are all the rage, according to Harpers Bazaar and Louis Vuitton. Throw in some red or striped swim trunks, some shorts and Polo-style shirts and you’re good to go. But if you’re going to a tropical location such as the beach, cool printed florals are acceptable. The theme seems to be a mix of laid-back breeziness and cool country club. Channel your inner movie star beach-goer and you can’t go wrong.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2015
Networking and promotion will bring you rewards this year. The time and effort you put into increasing your stature in the workplace and community will ensure that you keep the momentum going. Love will play a role in the success you achieve. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Your warmth and compassion will be an asset to a benevolent or charitable cause. Assisting elderly people or ailing family members will intensify your sympathetic nature and understanding. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- An opportunity to make money or raise your earning potential is within reach. Keep track of your expenditures and leave enough leeway in your budget for an unexpected home repair or medical bill.

HOROSCOPE
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Be a participant. Once you get involved in community affairs, you will be surprised at the number of interesting people you meet and how full your social calendar will become. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If you have been exaggerating or spreading rumors, you will be accused of meddling. Keep busy doing something that is beneficial to you and those around you. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Get involved in things that you enjoy doing. You will meet someone who will prompt you to think differently or will spark your imagination. A chance to travel will lead to a rewarding experience. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Mixing financial and emotional issues can
be costly. If your generosity is eating into your savings account, curb your spending. It makes more sense to offer suggestions or hands-on help. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A partnership will be on shaky ground if you don’t make an effort to share your thoughts. Schedule time to discuss your plans for the future or to re-establish responsibilities. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Impress your superiors by putting in more effort at work. Prove how seriously you take your position by presenting your ideas for a more efficient workplace. Success will follow assertiveness. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Cultural differences and philosophies will intrigue you. There is plenty of knowledge available on the Internet. Don’t limit yourself to the same old routines and ideas; broaden your horizons. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Don’t get upset about things you cannot change. Traffic woes or unanticipated weather changes are unpleasant, but emotional outbursts will not help you get along with others or mend a negative situation. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Someone you consider a casual acquaintance may have a more romantic motive in mind. Be honest about your feelings. If handled properly, you will end up with a lifelong friendship. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Financial gains lie ahead. An opportunity to change your profession should be considered. A minor health ailment should be checked out before it escalates into something serious.

TROUBLE IN PARADISE CITY RESTRICTS ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION WITH NEW ORDINANCE JESSE POUND | @JESSERPOUND Spring break will be conducted a little differently in Panama City Beach (PCB) this year. The city passed ordinances last fall that will restrict alcohol consumption during spring break, according to al.com. B ay C o u n t y , Fl o r i d a, where Panama City Beach resides, adopted similar measures in January. One ordinance requires anyone drinking alcohol on the beach to have a valid I.D. Another forces businesses to stop selling alcohol at 2 a.m. rather than 4 a.m. This rule applies to PCB
and unincorporated areas of Bay County, said Ruth Corley, the public information officer for the Bay County Sheriff department. It does not apply to the city of Panama City, Corley said. According to the ordinance given to The Daily by the Bay County Sherriff’s office, this regulation will only be in effect during March 2015. Bay County will be deploying more officers than normal, Corley said. Bay County expects a higher number of arrests and citations, Corley said. “We will be enforcing all the laws,” Corley said. Bay County Sheriff Frank McKeithen released a
statement saying, “conduct yourself in our house the same way you would in your home.” Kennedy Lockhart, a construction science sophomore, went to PCB for spring break last year. “The bars usually were pretty packed still ‘til 4 a.m.,” Lockhart said. Lockhart said that ending alcohol sales earlier will likely shift the party to the hotels. “I feel like the hotel scene will be too rowdy,” Lockhart said.
