"A caustic apartment owner finds her attempts to evict the ragtag occupants of a 3,000 square foot rent-controlled apartment challenged in a most unexpected way in director Pascal Thomas' communal comedy. Thanks to a legal loophole known as "the Law of 1948," a cap was placed on some rental units around Paris preventing real-estate speculation.

Ph.D. students rethink the tenure track, scope out non-academic jobs

Ph.D. students rethink the tenure track, scope out non-academic jobs: "The holy grail for Ph.D. students has traditionally been a professorship at a prestigious university, the reward for years of rigorous research, frugal living and a hard-earned collection of published journal papers.

http://www.mymovies.it/film/2009/amore14/



"Carolina is almost 14 years old, she is unique like all the girls of herage.
14 is a magical moment, there are girlfriends to share days and dreams. There are first kisses stolen in the shadow of front doorway. There is always music, at the right moment and its lyrics always seem to be talking about her. Then there are parties, school, jokes with schoolmates, the teacher that is a weird character, and obviously exams to prepare for. There is a wonderful grandma who understand what’s hidden in her granddaughter’s soul. There is a ‘cool’ older brother who helps his sister’s heart to dream.
And love? What is love really like? Does love look like Massimiliano? Is that love?
Unfortunately Carolina has lost her phone and with it she’s lost all his details! But she knows that some way or another, she will find him again.
So, while she dreams of flying three meters above the sky, her life moves along carefree between daily adventures and the darkness of her family life.
Carolina is ready to be happy.
Amore 14 is a journey through feelings, the excitement of first love, the pain of a sudden betrayal, the first, that leaves you speechless. It is losing someone you care for, it is an unexpected gesture of affection.
Based on Amore 14 novel, Feltrinelli 2008, the movie of the same name (produced by Medusa and Marco Belardi for Lotus Production), shot in Rome between June and July 2009, will be released next autumn in movie theaters across Italy."
