...million tickets during its first week in the cinemas, shattering the previous roll-out box-office record of 3.9 million set in 2006 by Les Bronzés 3 - a comedy that similarly pokes fun at notorious French stereotypes. But whereas the Bronzés film was just the latest in a hugely popular series spanning back to the original 1978 film, Bienvenu chez les Ch'tis has been a bolt-from-the-blue phenomenon. Its simple, sex- and violence-free tale about normal, unappreciated people has many critics comparing it the 2001 French smash hit Le Fabuleux Destin...
...what an engineering school can be in the midst of a liberal arts university.” The SEAS currently comprises three concentrations—engineering sciences, applied math, and computer science—that presently enroll 310 undergraduates, according to the Harvard College Facebook. The move is the latest example of an increasing University focus on connections between disciplines, a theme that has led to the development of cross-campus planning committees in science and bioengineering. “Partly what it means to be a school of engineering is to increase our strength in areas where we have...
...Bank Job” is the latest movie from British action-film mainstay Jason Statham, whose cockney wit and sexy bald head have been a continuous draw at the box office.

...latest polls, conducted before the assassination, gave the Socialists a 4.1% lead over the Popular Party, and with voter turnout emerging as a key factor in these elections, the effect of today's killing is, in fact, hard to predict. Jose Ramon Montero, political scientist at Madrid's Autonomous University, believes the assassination "will certainly have an effect, but perhaps in a different direction than you might expect. Certainly there is a parallel with what happened in the last elections," he says, referring to the surprise ouster of the Popular Party government in the wake of the 2004 Madrid subway...
Critics say this is particularly unfortunate at a time when science is more than ever a truly global enterprise, especially for solving challenges such as energy and climate change. The latest example of this, they claim, is Congress' recent failure to appropriate any funds this year to the $20 billion multi-national fusion power project (ITER) being constructed in southern France. The landmark R&D project is aimed at demonstrating the scientific and technical feasibility of fusion power, and the U.S. has pledged to cover 10% of the cost over 10 years...
