Taking Care Of Business
At Home
TALLAHASSEE -- For nearly a month now, Florida State has been trying
to climb back to the surface in the Atlantic Coast Conference standings.
The Seminoles went under in their ACC opener, a 68-66 loss to Clemson
on Jan. 3, FSU's only home loss of the season.
A week ago at Boston College, FSU (15-6, 3-4) was on the verge of evening
its ACC record -- after an 0-3 league start -- until Sean Marshall hit
a game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer, lifting the Eagles to an 85-82
win. The Seminoles rebounded from that deflating loss with a victory
at home over Wake Forest on Saturday, and tonight they'll try once more
to even their conference record at home against Maryland (16-5, 2-4).
Economic
importance of Tunisian expatriates stressed
With one
citizen out of ten living outside the country, Tunisia has a staggering
emigration rate. With a full section dedicated to those expatriates
in his government program "For Tomorrow's Tunisia", Tunisian
President Zine El-Abedine Ben Ali has stressed the importance of this
part of the Tunisian community as well as the mutual commitment involved.
According to the Tunisian daily La Presse, by the end of the year 2005,
a total of 933,944 Tunisians were living outside the country's borders.
The most common destination was Europe, in which more than 83 percent
of Tunisian expatriates currently reside, mainly disseminated in three
countries. Thanks to French language instruction in Tunisian primary
schools, France is at top of the list with 535,608 Tunisians, followed
by Italy, which houses a community of more than 123,845 individuals
and 70,349 in Germany
