Hitler's Tour: Imagining the Occupation of Paris, 1940-1944
"We'll always have Paris," Rick says to Ilsa in Casablanca. But, for a while, someone else did. Adolf Hitler visited Paris only once, on June 28, 1940, a scant two weeks after his troops had first occupied it. Like any tourist, he wanted to see the monuments and vistas he had read about for decades. The Fuehrer's tour predicted the complicated four years that were to follow. Ronald C. Rosbottom, professor of French and European Studies and Winifred Arms Professor in the Arts and Humanities, will take you stop-by-stop along Hitler's route. Using photographs and film clips, he will explain what the Occupation meant to Parisians and how the Germans themselves felt about it for 1500 nights and days.

Re-Inventing Tokyo: Japan's Largest City in the Artistic Imagination
Tokyo is the political, cultural and economic center of Japan, the largest urban hub on the planet, holding 35 million people, fully one-fifth of Japan's population.

Morse P'14, professor of art and the history of art and Asian languages and civilizations, will focus on portrayals of Tokyo and its reinventions as depicted by print makers, photographers and artists from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day. Many of the images will be included in an exhibition to be held at the Mead Art Museum in the fall of 2012: Re-Inventing Tokyo: Japan's Largest City in the Artistic Imagination, planned in conjunction with an Amherst class.

The People Shall Dwell Alone: An Observation from Israel
Walter Zanger '56, a scholar, guide, historian, television personality and long-term resident of Israel, will discuss what he sees as a growing world-wide campaign to deny the whole existence of Israel as a legitimate sovereign nation in the Middle East, a campaign that involves not only the Arabs, but the Americans and the Europeans too. To complicate matters, the Government of Israel is, by its very nature, making the problem both better and worse. How do the changes in the Arab Middle East look from his perspective? Is the change in Egypt an opportunity for better relations with Israel, or are the new authorities that are likely to appear a different risk for the Israelis? Are there opportunities to reach out toward other of the new leaders in the Middle East? Is there anything for Israel to do other than to sit and wait to see what finally shakes out? Presented by the Class of 1956.
Pruyne Lecture Hall, Fayerweather Hall
Breaking the Cycle of Poverty: The One-Generation Solution
Young people who grow up in America's inner cities face a cycle of poverty and failure that prevents them from achieving their potential. This is not only a tragedy for the Americans who are directly affected; it is a national tragedy as well. The Harlem Children's Zone (HCZ) is demonstrating how to break the cycle of poverty with a program centered on education, beginning even before birth. Bob Shoemaker '61, an emeritus professor at Stern School of Business (NYU); Robert Kuklis '61, an education consultant, former teacher and administrator and co-author of Transforming Schools: Creating a Culture of Continuous Improvement; William Rapp '61, economist, lawyer, banker, consultant, professor and author of numerous books and articles on economics and law; and Martin Lowy, lawyer, entrepreneur, and author of books on economic history and corporate governance, will argue that a federal initiative based on the HCZ model should be a national priority. Presented by the Class of 1961.

Questions, Not Answers: Psychospiritual Inquiry
Richard Grossinger '66 and Elliott Isenberg '66 will explore the nature of awareness and the path of inquiry leading to spiritual growth. Richard Grossinger will discuss the theosophical tradition, the relationship between science and hermeticism, the role of consciousness in a material universe and alternative modalities of healing. He will explain the notion that all paths are spiritual, even anti-spiritual ones, and that the universe itself is an experiment in transferring meaning and value into matter. Elliott Isenberg will explain how Richard Grossinger taught him the meaning of the "unconscious" in Leo Marx's English 1 class. Elliott's talk will elucidate the nature of "not knowing" and the paradox that more knowledge consists in "not knowing" rather than in "knowing." Elliott will also discuss how Byron Katie's teachings pointed the way to "know no thing" and how her inquiry can assist individuals in knowing less and less each day. Presented by the Class of 1966.

* Same Sex Marriage on Trial
Recent debates over same-sex marriage have made the issue a political football in election after election, a cultural touchstone for anxieties about the status of the American family, and a signal moment in the history of civil rights litigation in the United States. In this lecture, Martha Umphrey, professor of law, jurisprudence and social thought, and Emily Griffen '96, a lawyer in California who is legally married to her wife, will review debates--particularly those internal to the gay rights community--about the value and meaning of pursuing the right to same-sex marriage, and will discuss the pros and cons of trials as a forum for public deliberation on the subject.

* Noah's Ark: Judith Frank Reads from Her Novel In Progress
Noah's Ark centers upon a gay couple who become the guardians of two small children when one's brother and sister-in-law, who live in Jerusalem, are killed in a café bombing. The novel is about the firestorm that erupts in the families when they learn that these bereaved Israeli children are going to be raised by gay men in the U.S.; about mourning a death from terror when one finds the cultural scripts offered by the "war on terror" toxic; and about the predicament of two gay men becoming immersed in the culture of parenting they have spent much of their lives making fun of. This program is a part of the 25th Anniversary of the Gay and Lesbian Alumni (GALA) Celebration.

Politics and Media: What the Coming Change Means
New media are a powerful way to disseminate information and to organize people for political purposes. New media are also an effective way to spread misinformation, as well as outright lies.

In 2002, he was the Democratic nominee for governor (he came in second place). George Witwer '81 owns a small daily newspaper in Bluffton, Ind. He ran for governor in the Republican primary in 1996, and was the Republican candidate for Lt. Governor in the general election.

Teacher and Student--35 Years Later: A Conversation with Professor Barry O'Connell and Members of the Class of '76
Amherst prides itself on the rich encounters between teachers and students that, as a small liberal arts college, it can offer. But it can be hard to put one's finger on exactly what goes on in such encounters and how they do or do not live on in one's later life. In September 1972, as the Class of '76 arrived at Amherst, so did a new assistant professor by the name of Barry O'Connell. On the occasion of the class's 35th Reunion and Barry's imminent retirement as James E. Ostendarp Professor of English, he and four former students—Robert Green '76, Robert Howard '76, John Kordalewski '76, and Alex Palacios '76—reflect on the dynamics, anticipated and unanticipated, of the teacher-student encounter at Amherst and how they reverberate through time. Presented by the Class of 1976.

Learning From YouTube
YouTube is a mess. YouTube is for amateurs. YouTube dissolves the real. YouTube is best for corporate-made community. YouTube is badly baked. These are a few of the things Alexandra Juhasz '86, Pitzer College media studies professor, and her class, learned about YouTube when she taught a course about and on YouTube. Learning from YouTube, the first video-book published by the MIT Press (2011), thinks critically about what actually happens within new media settings that proclaim to be radically "democratized." Why is what could be a tool for political change used mostly to spoof mainstream media? What happens when we do more and more of our learning online? Juhasz will give a lively and loud talk about YouTube, digital pedagogy and new forms of online writing. Presented by the Class of 1986.

Wear your purple (or white), be it old Amherst regalia, new Amherst regalia, vintage athletic department issue, retired varsity uniforms or just purple or white t-shirts for a run down memory lane and then back up the new-to-some bike path. This should be undertaken with the understanding that no liability is accepted or assumed by any single organizer, class, class officer or educational institution. Route 116 is a busy road and will not be closed for this run; please take appropriate cautions. We'll assemble at 7:15 a.m. to depart at 7:30 a.m. and plan to make it to Valentine for breakfast before it closes at 9:30 a.m. The route is a modified Grist Mill run, down Route 116, left on Mill Lane, left on the paved bike path, and right back up into campus.

Entrepreneurs In The New Economy
Ten years after the "dot com" bubble has burst, it's easier than ever to start your own business. Our panelists have started, among them, a language school, a law firm, a venture capital fund and almost a dozen Internet start-ups. Some of the ventures have been successful, some have failed, some are still "in progress." We'll discuss the lessons we've learned along the way, share advice we wished we had known at the beginning, and discuss how the "teens" will be different than the "aughts" for entrepreneurs. Panelists, all from the Class of 1991, are Eric Satz, Manolo Espinosa, Angela Reddock and Melissa Lawrence-Apfelbaum. Presented by the Class of 1991.
Lecture Hall 1, Merrill Science Center
Join Natalie (Brumblay) Mason '02E for a playful yoga-flow class set to music, designed to create (re)union for your whole being. The translation of Yoga from sanskrit is "to yoke" or to bring together—the mind, heart, body, breath and spirit. Asana (poses) are practiced with close attention to alignment and anatomy, and philosophy is infused throughout the sequence so that when you leave your mat you can take with you a new way of seeing and being in the world. Natalie uses her background in social anthropology (MA Harvard University '05) to help her students learn about themselves and the human condition in all its diversity. She holds her 200-hour certification from YogaWorks (2009) and is completing her 500th hour training through Long Island Yoga School. All levels welcome to come sweat, explore and breathe. Presented by the Class of 2001.

The College Crucible: What Really Happens During Those Four Years?
A $250,000 investment (more or less) should produce some return. Well, there are those four congenial years, with the accompanying recollections. We're also told we become more cultured, thoughtful, informed individuals. Is there evidence to back up those assertions? Graduates tend to differ in diction and demeanor from their high school age-mates. Is it only style, or something more substantial? Andrew Hacker '51, professor of sociology at Queens College, CUNY, will examine what we know--and don't know--about how much college changes people. Presented by the Class of 1951.

Simulating Catastrophe
Society is vulnerable to large-scale catastrophic threats: infectious-disease pandemics, major toxic chemical spills, serious earthquakes and nuclear or biological terrorism. A new "transdiscipline" studies the complex dynamics of such threats. It combines insights and techniques from economics, behavioral science, supercomputing, emergency medicine and disaster health to create "agent-based" models (ABMs), computer-based worlds populated by virtual people that mimic how people respond to real or imagined threats. ABMs can model how large populations and complex social systems are likely to behave and, in this way, contribute to smarter planning and more effective strategies. Joshua Epstein '76, an internationally recognized pioneer in the field, will demonstrate some ABMs and describe their applications. Joshua is professor of emergency medicine, with joint appointments in economics, biostatistics, and environmental health sciences and is director of the Center for Advanced Modeling in the Social, Behavioral, and Health Sciences at Johns Hopkins University. Presented by the Class of 1976.

The Two Party System: A Duopoly In Need of Revision?
Does the two party system work well or is it anachronistic in the 21st century? Ignoring the doctrinal issues that inspire new parties, what are the practical problems faced by a group of citizens who wish to offer an alternative to the major parties? How do they raise money?

The Baby Boomers' Guide to the Science and Medicine of Alzheimer's Disease
More than 5.3 million Americans currently suffer from Alzheimer's disease, the most common degenerative disorder of the brain.

The United States and the Arab World: From 9/11 to Tahrir Square
In a brief four weeks last winter, two long-time allies of the United States in the Arab world were forced from power by peaceful popular uprisings. These developments raise profound questions about U.S. foreign policy in the region. What does it say about our foreign policy that an ally such as Hosni Mubarak was so hated by his own people? Is it possible to reconcile our national interests in the region with treasured American values such as democracy and human rights? Is our embrace of Arab potentates in the name of peace with Israel and the "war on terror" hard necessity or dysfunctional delusion? Andrew Steinfeld '76, a 30-year veteran of the U.S. Foreign Service and recent director of Arabian Peninsula Affairs in the Near East Bureau at the State Department, will lead a discussion on key questions facing U.S. foreign policy in this critical part of the world.

Uniwersytet Warszawski Wydział Filozofii i Socjologii
During the three-year length of First Cycle Studies (BA Programme), PBCV students will obtain a thorough grounding in the current state of research in the various philosophical disciplines. They will also be familiarised with the main historical traditions within European philosophy - with particular attention to analytical philosophy and the Lvov-Warsaw School. The basis for a philosophical education, according to the traditions of that school, lies in ontology and epistemology. Courses in these disciplines provide a broad overview of the world: deeper and more complete than that provided by the sciences. Supplemented by courses in the history of philosophy, they make it possible to understand the relations between a manner of living, the dominant intellectual culture and the goals of social elites in various times and societies. Courses in ethics and aesthetics develop an emotional and moral sensitivity. They cultivate respect for civic responsibilities and show the interrelations between the normative systems - laws, morality and religions - that describe social interactions. Courses in logic and logical semiotics (disciplines in which the work of Polish philosophers has had a world-wide impact) teach thinking skills - significant both within science and public life. They also provide the tools to formally analyse natural language and the structure of scientific theories. Specialist and interdisciplinary courses give students the opportunity to familiarise themselves with issues in such fields as the philosophy and history of science, philosophy of culture, philosophy of politics and social philosophy.
The broadening of students' intellectual horizons is favoured by a varied programme of lectures, tutorials and seminars. During lectures, the students are provided with knowledge of the subject, while during the tutorials and other classes they learn to analyse basic philosophical ideas as well as individually formulating and dealing with the theoretical problems that arise.
Within the Second Cycle philosophy studies every student defines individual program of studies by choosing among seminars, proseminars, monographic lectures and elective courses taught in the Institute of Philosophy. The elective courses offer includes: Philosophy of Culture, Philosophy of Science, Philosophy of Politics, Social Philosophy, History of Polish Philosophy, Aesthetics, Logical Semiotics and/or Advanced Logic. Studies end with preparing Master's Dissertation and passing the Master's Exam.

Serena on 15 American women in draw: 'Awesome'
PARIS—World No. 1 Serena Williams says she is quite pleased to see that the United States has 15 women in the Roland Garros draw, the most of any country.
"I think the quality over the past year has jumped tremendously with the female U.S. players," she said. "I think last year here, outside of me, all the U.S. girls did really, really well, and I think we started to see then just so many players just popping up left and right. Fifteen in the main draw? That's pretty awesome. So it is a lot of players, but they're all really young. So there is still an opportunity to grow."

Arizona Diamondbacks
Report: D-backs, Mariners talk Justin Upton trade
According to ESPN senior baseball writer Buster Olney, the Arizona Diamondbacks have found a prospective bidder for outfielder Justin Upton.
Unfortunately for the Diamondbacks, the Seattle Mariners are on Upton's no-trade list.
The Diamondbacks have felt they have a good potential trade match with Seattle for Justin Upton. But remember: They're on his no-trade list.
— Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN) January 7, 2013
For the last few seasons, Upton has been on and off the trade block. Whether or not to keep the 25-year-old outfielder has been the main discussion surrounding the organization.
The addition of outfielder Cody Ross to an already crowded depth chart that includes Jason Kubel, Gerardo Parra and up-and-comer Adam Eaton — along with Upton — likely led to an increased probability of the D-backs parting with one of their outfielders.
Kubel was then thrown into the trade rumors along with Upton, catching the eye of the New York Mets and Baltimore Orioles. However, the D-backs know Upton provides the better return value of the two.
The latest Upton rumors point to the two-time All-Star being moved to either the Mariners, San Diego Padres, Atlanta Braves or Texas Rangers, with the Mariners being the latest front-runner.
The Padres trade rumors involved third baseman Chase Headley for Upton, though talks failed to progress.
While the Braves and Rangers have prospects and talent to offer, it's hard to see from Towers perspective of who the Mariners have that will convince the D-backs to part with the former number one overall pick.
But if Towers and the organization are favoring the Mariners like Olney reports, the Diamondbacks would have to seek the approval of Upton himself.

The frigid winter of 2014 made for lots of ice and snow in many parts of the nation, including several slippery spells in Texoma.
The upside of this cold pattern has been a very low incidence of severe weather. In fact, the total U.S. tornado count for 2014 as reported by the SPC was just 49 tornadoes through March 10; less than 1/3 of the YTD average.
Does that mean we will have a quiet spring? It's tough to say, but 2013 had one of the lowest tornado counts on record nationally while both Texas and Oklahoma suffered hits by large and deadly tornadoes. In fact, the El Reno tornado of May 31, 2013 is the largest tornado on record at 2.6 miles in width. The Granbury, Texas EF4 tornado of May 15, 2013 was the largest north Texas tornado in 20 years.
No matter what happens this spring, I encourage you to have multiple sources for weather information such as our News 12 cell phone app (free), a NOAA Weatheradio, live streaming newscasts on our website, and of course our TV broadcasts. The cell phone app is especially useful as you can continue to monitor dangerous weather on the go or in the event of a power failure.

I hope somebody could help me with breadcrumbs for a structure where I have Page-(sub)Page-post(1)/post(2)/post(3). (for design arrangement)
Now because posts have categories with the same name as pages, the very pages get messed up.
This is an example:
Soups (page)
Cold soups (page)
Cold soup 1 (post)
Cold soup 2 (post) etc.
I give "cold soup 1" categories Soups, Cold soups; then the page Soups (that can't have a category since it is a page) gets messed up because it has the same name/slug as the parental category "soups".
I wouldn't want to change the name of the slug for the page since i would like to have the same thing both in breadcrumbs and in url:
Home>Soups>Cold soups>Cold-soup1
Is it possible to do something with this?
Many thanks!

Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation Vita features include canoes, alligators
Assassin's Creed 3 is all very well, but can you play it on the bus? And does it have a female assassin protagonist? The answer to both these questions is "no", but Vita-exclusive Liberation is here to fill the gap. See the portable in action, showing off some of its unique features including alligator wrestling, through the break.
I actually couldn't say for certain if alligator wrestling is exclusive to Liberation, as Assassins Creed 3 goes all Caribbean on us as well as all that snowy business we've seen so far; presumably Connor may also wrestle alligators.
Liberation releases alongside Assassins Creed 3 in late October.

CAP's Summer Summit
It's graduation time! Our high school caterpillars will soon become college butterflies! This is a very exciting time for our students as they celebrate their achievements and look forward to the next step of their journey, but many students will begin to worry or become nervous about the next steps. "Will I be able to make friends? Will I be able to keep up with college level learning? I've never been away from home before." We want our students to succeed in college, and one way we can do that is by helping to make the transition a little easier. So please welcome CAP's Summer Summit, our inaugural summer transition program!
Why students should register
The vast majority of first year college students experience some difficulty transitioning to their new environment be it academic or social. Our FREE program offers workshops and activities to address some of the issues that our alumni have run into during their first year. In fact, our alumni are involved to help facilitate and shape the workshops. And, some of them will be there to answer questions and share experiences because who knows what our seniors are going through better than our alumni? It'll also be a great way for our students to meet other Pasadena students who may be going to the same college. Oh, and there will be free food. So students can come for the food, stay for the information, and leave with some new friends!
Why it matters to our community
CAP believes in the importance of fostering a college-going culture in our community. We support our students who want to go college, but we want them to succeed in college as well. Why? Because when our students do well in college and have great experiences in college, the younger students perceive college not only as a possibility for them, but also as a place where they too can thrive, a place where they want to go. Ultimately, this increases the skills and education levels of the workforce in our community and wherever else our students end up.
Why you should get involved
CAP staff and alumni are working hard to provide this free service to underserved students, but we can't do it without help from the community! While we'll need help with student interviews, facilitating workshops, and good ol' fashioned people power (set up, food service, clean up, crowd mitigation, etc.), we would love to have volunteers involved to show our students that our community recognizes their efforts and wants them to succeed. According to a 2008 report published by The Pell Institute, low-income, first-generation students are nearly four times more likely than their less-disadvantaged peers – 26 to 7 percent – to leave their postsecondary educational institution after their first year. So let's do what we can to help close that gap!
CAP's Summer Summit will be held at CalTech on Saturday, June 13th from 8:30am-2pm.
Please contact Michael at firstname.lastname@example.com if you're interested in getting involved as a volunteer at our event. Should you have any questions or want more information about the summit, feel free to contact Joanne at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Courteney Cox is currently single.
Courteney Bass Cox (born June 15, 1964) is an American actress, producer and director. She is best identified for her roles as Monica Geller on the NBC sitcom Friends, Gale Weathers in the horror series Scream, and as Jules Cobb in the ABC/TBS sitcom... Cougar Town, for which she earned her first Golden Globe nomination. Cox also starred in the FX series Dirt. She owns a production company, called Coquette Productions, which was created by her and her then-husband David Arquette. Cox has also worked as a director on her sitcom Cougar Town and the television movie Talhotblond.
Connect any celebrity with Courteney Cox to see how closely they are linked... romantically!
She is one classy woman. I love her movies.
I recently discovered the show friends and I'm addicted. They should bring it back.
she is still so beautful. i'm a fan of her show too
The actress known as CC made us fall in love with her when she and Michael J Fox played house on Family Ties. Then she along with Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow made Friends great and now she is kickin it on Cougar Town. Multi talented and beautiful actress and mom and when she turns 50 next year Hugh Hefner if he has any brain cells left should do everything in his power to ger her to pose for his magazine. Pay her 10 million dollars and I guarantee you it would be one of the biggest selling issues in years because Courteney is totally and absolutely positively red sizzlin hot and I don't see this woman cooling off anytime soon.
Thank you for all the wonderful memories on F-R-I-E-N-D-S!!!
you r awesome courteney, love you!!!! u could always do better than david!!! anyone would be lucky to be with you....... all the best :D
i'm glad she's not with david anymore. weird couple. love her
cougar town is a great show.
you are a good and great actre i love u xoxo
great actress

Trying to keep expenses down for a group I am working for, but this place was barely tolerable. I won't stay at a place that is not clean or safe, so that is all I can say for this motel.
Because I was staying for more than a few days, they told me the housekeeping would only come Tuesdays and Fridays. Not even to make the bed, empty the trash, or change the towels. So I have a pile of trash, a worn thin towel to reuse, and a lumpy bed that stays unmade.
I am traveling with my dog and he gets to stay free, but that makes me wonder about prior guests and who they traveled with...
The walls are thin and noisy people outside wake me periodically. Also the couple upstairs got my dog barking...
The internet is non-existent, altho I was charged $3 a day for the privilege to use it. Some days the connection was not even strong enough to get on to use my code; I had to use one of the random unsecured connections available, which I usually defaulted to anyway. I had to talk to the tech support one night, and he checked the connection and said it was great, that I was probably in a dead zone or that the hotel needed to up their connection points.
No refrigerator or microwave available, a definite negative for me traveling with a dog. I also like to have my oatmeal in the morning and make coffee. No coffee maker, hot water, or hair dryer. The shower (no tub) is like in an RV - the plumbing comes out of the ceiling and faces the corner so the water won't run out around the shower curtain. I am 110 pounds, and found it too small as the handicap rail takes up some room. So it is really like trying to negotiate a shower in an RV, one of those over-the-toilet tiny ones.
The pillow smells bad, so I covered it with towels. No other sanitation issues that I can tell.
Has a pool, but I haven't gone at all as I did not bring a suit and it is cold outside anyway.
The convenient part of the this hotel is that it is near Coddington Mall, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe's, so it is easy to get a quick meal on the go or pick up an item I may need. It is also close to the dog day care I use for my dog while I work (Paradise Pet Resort - highly recommend!).
Parking lot is well lit and I can put the car right by my room. I still bring everything inside, but it feels like a safer place to leave my car than some hotels.
The people at the desk are very sweet and helpful.
I'm not sure I would stay here again, mostly because I need reliable internet and like a frig in the room. But I certainly can't endorse it.

Bronx D.A. Wants to Know More About Abuse at Horace Mann
While Horace Mann is trying to distance itself from allegations of sexual abuse by at least three faculty between 1978 and 1994, Bronx District Attorney Robert T. Johnson won't let the school sweep the issue under the rug. Following this weekend's New York Times Magazine's cover story on the decades-old abuse allegations, Johnson said he will "reach out to the Horace Mann community and encourage them to report incidents of such behavior, whether they are within or outside of the statute of limitations." He's also asked the prestigious school for a copy of its guidelines on sexual abuse. So far, he hasn't announced plans for a formal investigation, but the response has added another layer of controversy for the school's alumni, who've been commiserating about the story by the thousands on social media.
