Rising occupancy rates, the growing popularity of consumer loyalty programs and new hotels in the U.S., Asia, Middle East and other markets are driving a groundswell of new deals around the world, bringing the category back to life after taking a hit a few years ago. Those include Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. and the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One team; InterContinental Hotels Group and the LPGA, and Marriott International, Inc. and the Barclays Center, home to the NBA Brooklyn Nets. More recently, IHG last month announced a one-year partnership with the East Coast Hockey League, a deal HOTELS BY NUMBER OF DEALS that affords status as the league’s preferred hotel partner across the company’s various hotel chains. Those deals follow a spate of new ties over the past two years. Those include Marriott and the National Football League and IHG and the PGA Tour, Champions Tour and Web.com Tour. IHG in 2010 extended Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resort’s title of the PGA Tour Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial through 2015.

  • Chapter 11: Reflections on the Stanford Prison Experiment: Genesis, Transformations, Consequences
    CHAPTER 11: REFLECTIONS ON THE STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT: GENESIS, TRANSFORMATIONS, CONSEQUENCES Philip G. Zimbardo Stanford University Christina Maslach University of California, Berkeley Craig Haney University of California, Santa Cruz PROLOGUE Philip G. Zimbardo In a sense, this chapter does not fit well in the frame of this book on Milgram's paradigmatic research on obedience to authority. It is less about extreme forms of inter personal compliance to the demands of unjust authority than it is about emerging conformity pressures in "total situations" in which the processes of deindividuation and dehumanization are institutionalized. However, in another sense, it is the natural complementary bookend to chapters tied to Milgram's obedience paradigm, which between them hold up the lessons of the power of social situations to overwhelm individual dispositions and even to degrade the quality of human nature. Whereas a central contribution of Milgram's paradigm was to quantify aggression and thus the extent of obedience using a simple but impressive technology, the value of the Stanford Prison Experiment (SPE) resides in demonstrating the evil that good people can be readily induced into doing to other good people within the context of socially approved roles, rules, and norms, a legitimizing ideology, and institutional support that transcends individual agency. In addition, although the obedient participants in Milgram's many replications typically experienced distress for their "shocking" behavior, their participation lasted for only about one half hour, after which they learned that no one was really harmed. By contrast, participants in the SPE endured 6 days and nights of intense, often hostile, interactions that escalated daily in the level of interpersonal aggression of guards against prisoners.

  • WNET Licensing (A's)
    The “A’s” (Source: NET microfiche, unless listed) Aaron Copland Meets the Soviet Composers (1959) Initial Broadcast: N/A Number of programs: 1 Origin Format: Undetermined Running time: 30 minutes AARON COPLAND MEETS THE SOVIET COMPOSERS is a half-hour studio production kinescope of an interview between Copland and six Soviet musicians, musicologists and/or composers who were travelling in the US. My impression is that this was a visit in return for one made to the USSR by an American group earlier that included Menned (?), Sessions, Harris and Kay (?). The setting for the interview is a recreated concert hall stage with the guests sitting in players’ chairs and Copland and his translator located where a solo instrumentalist would be seated. The questions appear to have been scripted in advance – and scripts placed on the music stands. The responses from the Soviets appear to have been ad lib. Copland’s questions were translated into Russian by an American (?) of Russian origins, Nicholas Slonimsky, himself a musician. The Soviets spoke in Russian and were heard through simultaneous translation. The translator was unseen and uncredited. The Soviet guests include (in order of answering questions): Dmitri Kabalevsky, Boris Yarustovsky, Tikhon Khrennikov, Dmitri Shostakovich, Konstantin Dankevich and Fikret Amirov. Kabalevsky was asked about the knowledge of American music in the USSR; Yarustovsky on the influence of American music on Russian music; Khrennikov on the reactions of Soviet musicians to the visit of four American musicians earlier (in the exchange program?); Shostakovich on American jaZZ and its influence; Dankevich on younger Soviet composers and Amirov on the adaption of native musical types to series music.

  • Reel Pleasures: Exploring the Historical Roots of Media Voyeurism and Exhibitionism1
    REEL PLEASURES: EXPLORING THE HISTORICAL ROOTS OF MEDIA VOYEURISM AND EXHIBITIONISM1 Bilge Yesil New York University Counterblast: The e-Journal of Culture and Communication, v.1, n.1 (November 2001) Copyright © 2000, Bilge Yesil, all rights reserved Introduction There has been a remarkable increase in both the academic and popular literature that problematize privacy and observation. Recently, reality TV shows and webcam sites have opened the floodgates to popular discussions of privacy. However, the interplay of social and cultural forces behind seeing, watching, and observing has not been traced historically—either in scholarly works or in mainstream media. The motives of persons who exhibit or make public their private affairs on TV and the Internet have not been fully explored. Moreover, questions about technologized or mediatized observation have not been put into a social, cultural, and historical context. This paper attempts such a contextualization. It consists of two major parts: The first part traces the historical roots of mediatized observation and exhibitionism. I refer to two TV shows—Candid Camera and An American Family—as past examples of media observation. Building on this historical account and supplemented with an exploration of social, cultural, and psychological elements, the second part argues that the current cultural landscape, deluged with reality TV shows or exhibitionist web cam sites, is not necessarily a novelty or the end result of new technologies. Questions I try to answer include: How have the mundane
