The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled last week that an insurance carrier does not have to pay for damages related to the civil domestic-violence case of Nikos Hecht, an Aspen hedge-funder and real estate developer.
A 14-page order and judgment issued April 18 said Hecht's personal and excess liability coverage policies under Great Northern Insurance Co., also known as Chubb, would not cover the monetary settlement agreement he reached with his ex-girlfriend in September 2017. Terms of the settlement were and remain confidential.
After the settlement was made, Hecht sued Chubb in federal court over its refusal to cover the damages. His claims were breach of contract and refusal to defend him in the civil case, as well as denial of payment, among other damages.
The lower court granted summary judgment in favor of Chubb, from which Hecht bought a $35 million policy in September 2014. He then appealed the ruling.
Hecht's ex-girlfriend sued him in March 2016, roughly a month after he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor harassment in a domestic violence case from August 2015 involving the woman. She alleged in the suit that Hecht physically and mentally abused her, turned her into a drug addict and manipulated her into having two abortions.
The suit came after Pitkin County Judge Erin Fernandez-Ely, in February 2016, sentenced Hecht to two years' probation in a domestic violence case involving the same victim.
Hecht's attorneys had argued that the allegations against him weren't sexual in nature, which he claimed did not happen in the cabin where the woman said he abused her. Had they been sexual, then Chubb would not have been obligated to cover Hecht, his attorneys argued.
The Court of Appeals, however, reasoned that the totality of all of the case's circumstances precluded Chubb from covering Hecht.
Hecht's firm Lewis Roca Rothberger Christie LLP, which has an office in Denver, could not be reached for comment Friday.
Retail sales totaled $83.3 million that month, led by the $30.5 million brought in by accommodations, which were up 6.7 percent in revenue over February 2018.
For the first two months of the year, Aspen retailers have generated $172.3 million, up 4.7 percent over the same period last year, according to the report.

After 25 years in operation, American Furniture Warehouse's Glenwood Springs location will permanently close in approximately six weeks, company CEO Jake Jabs told the Post Independent on Friday.
"It's basically been an underperforming store for us," Jabs said. "We are opening stores in Houston and Arizona and places like that and so as a business person we are looking at stores that make money.
"That store really hasn't been making any money for us," he said of the Glenwood location.
Jabs explained that the company had done everything it could to keep the local store in business, but ultimately decided to sell the building and will shut down in roughly six weeks following a 10 percent off sale.
According to Jabs, American Furniture's Glenwood location employs roughly 20 people, all of whom were notified. Those employees have the option of remaining with the company, he said, but would need to move to a different store.
"There will be no layoffs. We can transfer them to either Grand Junction or … we have 12 stores here on the Front Range we can put them with, too," Jabs said.
"I think that is probably one reason that the store in Glenwood hasn't done as well, because of our nice store is in Grand Junction," Jabs added.
Jabs would not disclose who the building, located at 3200 S Glen Ave. in the Roaring Fork Marketplace, sold to, as "caveats" were still being worked out.
"We do have to be out," Jabs explained of the forthcoming deadline.
Jabs said that Glenwood's American Furniture Warehouse was one of the first stores he opened with the company.
"I am sad to see a long-standing business leave the area," Glenwood Springs Chamber Resort Association President and CEO Angie Anderson said Friday.
The news of American Furniture Warehouse closing its Glenwood location comes not long after Safeway announced that it, too, would be leaving the Glenwood Springs market.
American Furniture Warehouse was founded in 1975 by Jabs after he bought American Furniture Company in Denver. Following a name change and several additional store openings, today American Furniture Warehouse, including its Glenwood store, has 14 locations throughout Colorado and Arizona.
For Missouri Heights-based business Boulder Learning, having the chance to compete for venture capital funding just a few miles away is a relief.
Boulder Learning is taking grant-funded research and building it into education software to assist teachers, having acquired a Front Range-based software developer.
But co-founder and president John Ramo wants Carbondale to be the headquarters.
"It's great, because what we want to do is build our administrative functions out of Carbondale," Ramo said in an interview.
The second annual Mountain Pitch Summit, organized by nonprofit business incubator and co-working space Coventure, will be different from the inaugural event last year by Coventure's predecessor, GlenX.
"Last year, the focus was on community businesses, mostly in Carbondale. We wanted to tell a story that we could help local businesses grow," said Mike Lowe, executive director for Coventure.
The event last spring raised $1.25 million for five local companies: Marble Distilling, The Way Home restaurant, aerospace manufacturer Perin Industries, agri-tourism destination Cedar Ridge Ranch and solar company P4P.
For this year's event, "we set out to identify six companies that were in industries that could develop into businesses that could be game-changers for local economies," Lowe said. The businesses are already well on their way to becoming anchor businesses for the region, Lowe said.
The six businesses presenting, most of which are from the Roaring Fork Valley, include AppOmni, which makes a cloud-based security software; Atelier, an augmented reality app for home decoration and interior design; education software creator Boulder Learning; iPhone accessory manufacturer iOmounts; Proximity, a co-working management software system; and P4P, which designs tensile solar panel structures.
Since the first pitch night in April 2018, the business acceleration programs started within GlenX have been re-branded, and dramatically expanded, as Coventure.
Coventure's goal is to turn Carbondale and the greater Roaring Fork Valley into a hub of business networking, training, and investing to build a diverse economic base for the region.
Small-town economies are experiencing three particular challenges, as identified by the Office of Economic Development: Industry diversification, smart growth and talent retention.
Coventure occupies several floors of the Spruce Building in downtown Carbondale, offering co-working space available to anyone to rent by the day, week or month.
The pitch event kicks off at the Third Street Center at 3:30 p.m. Friday with a panel discussion on angel investing and venture capital, followed by dinner and drinks from local restaurants, and a keynote address by Marc Nager of the Greater Colorado Venture Fund, which is also one of the investment groups that will evaluate the pitches.
The other investor groups are Telluride Venture Fund, Four Points Funding and Rockies Venture Club.
The main pitch event with the six presenting companies will start at 7 p.m., followed by a networking after party. The event is opened to the public, with a $10 suggested donation at the door.
The online reservations for the event are filling up, Lowe said.
"We're worried that we won't have enough chairs. I guess that's a good problem to have," Lowe said.
Carbondale nonprofit Valley Settlement has launched a new website that includes job listings in both English and Spanish.
Employers and job seekers can visit www.valleysettlement.org/resources/job-board to list jobs or to review open positions in the Roaring Fork Valley and the I-70 corridor. The website's community events section also allows organizations to post upcoming events in the valley.
Valley Settlement works with area immigrant families to help them find child care, and health and human services, among other opportunities.
Aspen Chamber Resort Association's Community Breakfast is set for Tuesday and will include a range of speakers.
Check-in is at 7:45 a.m. and the programming runs from 8 to 9:30 a.m. at the Doerr-Hosier Center at Aspen Meadows Resort.
Speakers will include ACRA President and CEO Debbie Braun, ACRA board chair Cristal Logan, Pitkin County Manager Jon Peacock, interim Aspen City Manager Sarah Ott and Andrew Ernemann, ACRA's representative for its real estate board seat.
Cost is $35 to members and $50 to non-members. Call 970-925-1940 to RSVP.
The remaining physical therapists at the financially strapped Aspen Club didn't see their eviction coming last month, but they quickly regrouped to hang up their own shingle a block away from their old practice on Main Street.
On March 12, employees at Aspen Club Sports Medicine Institute were told their time was up at 430 W. Main St. because their parent company, The Aspen Club, was behind $56,585 on rent and the landlord was evicting them.
They had been using the space on a temporary basis, since February 2016, during the redevelopment project of The Aspen Club campus, at 1450 Ute Ave. Financial setbacks have put the project on hold since August 2017.
Not only were the employees left in a lurch; their stable of patients, as many as 300, also had no place to go.
Scher, as well as physical therapists Chris Peshek — a 28-year employee of the club — and Sarah Miller realized they had to act fast or risk the goodwill they'd built up over the years.
They did home visits for patients and also treated them at different facilities.
Eleven days after Aspen Club Sports Medicine Institute closed, the trio opened their own facility mere footsteps from their former location — at 400 W. Main St.
"We wanted to completely cut ties and just move on and start a clean slate," Peshek said.
With no business or marketing plan, no front-desk help and nobody to schedule appointments, the three took it upon themselves to own, operate and manage the new business, which spans about 1,300 square feet.
They are relying on word of mouth, some social media marketing efforts, phone calls and their reputations.
"We're doing this all backwards," Scher said.
Aspen Club owner and president Michael Fox also allowed them to transfer the Aspen Club Sports Medicine Institute's phone number (970-925-8940) to the new practice.
Miller, who worked three years at Aspen Club Sports Medicine Institute, said there are some growing pains that go with the new business. They're in the process of getting their insurance contract re-credentialed so they can accept patients with insurance. That can take 45 to 60 days.
For now, their business has no name — it is simply identified by the three individuals now in charge.
After sitting empty for nearly two-and-a-half years, the historic building at 201 E. Main St. — known to most as the former Main Street Bakery — sold Wednesday to Aspen developer Mark Hunt for $5.5 million, according to records from the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder's Office.
It will be a place that is open in the morning, throughout the day and late night.
Longtime locals Bill and Jane Dinsmoor ran their popular Main Street Bakery and Cafe out of the pale pink-and-brick building from the late '80s until October 2016.
Post-Main Street Bakery, the plan was for Aspen restaurateur David Roth and the late investor Leslie Rudd to restore the 130-year-old building and open an Oakville Grocery. Rudd's death in May, however, stalled plans for the project. Calls to executives at Rudd's investment company last year regarding the property were not returned.
Hunt said other people were looking at buying the property and he didn't like the path they were heading down in terms of what their plans were with the building, so he bought it.
He said the town has lost too many gathering places, including Over Easy, which was in a building that he owned on Hopkins Avenue and sold to Hillstone Restaurant Group in May 2017 for $6 million. Over Easy left the space Oct. 31, 2017, at the request of the Hillstone chain, which also owns and operates the White House Tavern next door. The building that housed Over Easy has remained empty since.
Hunt said he has "two unbelievable operators" he is considering to run the Main Street diner.
When reached Wednesday, Roth would not say if he will be involved in the restaurant's next phase.
"I know that Mark shares the same vision that Leslie and myself had in the structure of the building and in what to brings to the community and what it can bring to the community," Roth said.
Hunt said the boarded-up building is an eyesore and isn't doing anything for the retailers on that block so he wants to create vibrancy there.
"It's all in the best interest to get this done as soon as possible," Hunt said.
He said he is working with the city of Aspen to make that happen.
Amy Simon, the city's historic preservation officer, said stabilization work for the initial project is mostly complete.
"We expect to hear from the property owner before anything proceeds again," Simon said.

The physical-therapy division of The Aspen Club, which recently evaded foreclosure proceedings, has closed after falling behind $56,585 on its monthly rent payments.
Aspen Club Sports Medicine Institute closed Wednesday after its landlord won a default judgment in the amount of $65,532, which includes back rent, late fees, attorney fees and court costs. The judgment also allowed the landlord, Karbank 420 LLC, to evict the business located at 430 W. Main St., court records show.
"They did move out, so the sheriff isn't going to have to throw them out," said Aspen attorney Lance Cote, who filed the complaint in Pitkin County District on behalf of Aspen lawyer Neil Karbank, owner of the property.
Aspen Club Sports Medicine had been operating from the space on a temporary basis while its permanent home is part of the stalled redevelopment project of The Aspen Club campus at 1450 Ute Ave.
"This is worse for our patients than it is for us," said Sarah Miller, one of three physical therapists who had worked for the group, which also included a chiropractor and clinic manager. Miller referred questions Chris Peshek, who worked for more than 25 years at Aspen Club Sports Medicine.
Neither Peshek nor Michael Fox, president of The Aspen Club, could be reached Monday.
In an affidavit to the complaint, Karbank said The Aspen Club owed rent and late fees for September through February. Karbank also provided the club a written notice Jan. 3 that it would have to vacate the property if it didn't make good on its outstanding rent.
The Aspen Club closed its facility, including Aspen Club Sports Medicine Institute, in February 2016. The institute relocated to Main Street and signed its original lease agreement Feb. 12, 2016, court documents show.
Members of the private club were told at the time that the closure would last eight to 10 months to allow for completion of the 554,000-square-foot expansion, which includes townhomes, timeshares and 12 multi-family affordable-housing units.
Construction, however, continued into August 2017, when subcontractors walked off the job because they were owed money for labor and materials.
The result has been millions of dollars in mechanics' liens, a lawsuit involving dozens of contractors, and a loan-note holder's foreclosure action that was pulled March 4. Additionally, a number of Aspen Club members no longer have reciprocal benefits at other local health clubs that they once were entitled to when construction began.

DIARIES, LETTERS & MEMOIRS
Myra Inman: A Diary of the Civil War in East Tennessee Edited by William R. Snell
Myra Inman began her diary in January 1859 and kept it until January 1866. As a thirteen-year-old girl in southeast Tennessee, her literary endeavor would lead to a more serious subject than mere recordings of the weather and the occasional visitor. While the tension between the South and the North was growing, Myra had only thoughts of her day to day life. But as the possibility of war grew and finally fell upon her and her family and their town of Cleveland, Tennessee, she became an astute observer of the war. In short, Myra Inman, a member of a prominent, but not wealthy family, came of age in the greatest conflict America had yet seen.
In her diary Myra records encounters with soldiers in both blue and gray. As time progresses, she discloses her true feelings are with the South -- how could they be anywhere else. And yet, Southeast Tennessee was a hybrid of support for both sides of the conflict. As the war develops, the diary becomes an arena for issues that most teenage girls had little to say about: Lee, Lincoln, Jackson, Grant, and the politics of war. Although this diary depicts Myra's coming of age, it is also a wonderful window through which we can view the home-front in East Tennessee during the Civil War. Myra records her work at crafts, shopping, cooking, and entertainment. More than these, however, she was a dedicated Christian and went to church services at many different churches as it was her chief form of social activity.
Yet another activity that stands out in this telling diary is Myra's literary life. She belonged to a reading circle that read widely from Josephus to contemporary Civil War novels. Myra Inman was a member of a family that also owned slaves. While that peculiar institution was being debated around the country on battlefields and in political arenas, the Inmans' slaves were well-respected in Cleveland. There is no discussion of the wrights and wrongs of slavery; it is merely accepted (see Appendix 1 about Ned and Phoebe).
"We, the readers, who cherish history, owe this young Clevelander a debt of gratitude. Her dedication to her writing allowed us to get to know her family, her friends, and her Cleveland as we experience the daily events with her. More importantly, the reader is able to follow Myra's maturing process. She was a teenager when she began the diary with thoughts of algebra and gentleman callers. Before the diary closed she was coping with hardships and the death of friends and family members. The Civil War affected the community, county, and all she held dear. War takes a toll, and the division in Bradley County caused immeasurable pain for Myra Inman."

Ruthzee Louijeune secures at-large spot on council
She is first Haitian-American to serve on the body
Avery Bleichfeld
Ruthzee Louijeune addresses supporters during her victory party at dbar in Dorchester. AVERY BLEICHFELD PHOTO
When Ruthzee Louijeune arrived at her election night party at dbar in Dorchester Tuesday night, the mood was already bright and raucous. She moved through the crowd, taking photos with supporters and greeting members of her team.
It was just after 10:15 p.m. when she announced that her campaign believed she had secured one of the four at-large city councilor seats up for grabs in the Nov. 2 general election.
In her victory speech, Louijeune lauded the hard work of everyone who supported her and marked the moment as a landmark one for the Haitian community in Boston.
She began her speech by encouraging spectators to hug or high-five someone around them as a gesture of the community that she said was such an important part of her run for Boston City Council.
"What you have to know is campaigns are not about individual people," Louijeune said. "This [campaign banner] is weird, because it's my face and it's my name, but this is a movement. … If it was about Ruthzee, it would only be me, but it's about all of us here, working together to build a better Boston."
According to unofficial vote tallies from the city, at around 11:45 p.m. Louijeune held nearly 44,500 votes, or about 15% of ballots cast. She was reported to have placed third, following Michael Flaherty and Julia Mejia, who had about 52,000 and 51,000 votes respectively. The fourth at-large seat, which was still too close to call that night, went to Erin Murphy, who finished with a slim margin ahead of David Halbert.
In her speech, Louijeune talked about priorities such as supports for Boston's working class, climate resilience and transit accessibility.
"The work on City Council is one of making sure we are allocating our resources in the way that says we value you, our residents," Louijeune said. "Your budget is your value statement; we need to make sure our budget is a reflection of caring for our neighbors, caring for our young ones, of responding to the climate justice issues of our time."
She said she doesn't expect the work to be easy but said that is why it must be done.
"I am under no disbelief that this is going to be easy work," Louijeune said. "I know that this is going to be really hard, but I know the hard things are worth fighting for, which is why I ran for Boston City Council and why all of you showed up for me."
She also marked the importance of her win for the Haitian diaspora in Boston. As the daughter of Haitian immigrants, she will be the first Haitian-American member of the City Council in a city that is part of the third-largest Haitian diaspora community in the country.
When she asked the crowd if there were any Haitians there, deafening cheers reverberated across the patio.
"This has taken way too long; there have been so many people who have tried to pierce this barrier to be the first Haitian American," Louijeune said. "The third-largest Haitian diaspora is right here in this city, and it has not led to political representation. So, I thank you all for choosing me to be the first, but I will not be the last. My success is everybody's success, is the community's success."
Ahead of the polls closing, Angela Irving, a Roxbury resident who voted at Higginson-Lewis K-8 School picked Louijeune as one of her four options on the ballot. She said community representation was an important issue to her in her City Council vote this election, and said this year was a good one for local diversity, based on the candidates running.
"It's good to see community people that represent my community on the council this year," Irving said.
Louijeune won't take office until January, but in her speech she said there's not time to wait for the work to get started.
"Today is a victory party," Louijeune said. "I want you all to celebrate, to meet people, to talk, to rejoice, to breathe a little bit more, but I want you to know the work starts tomorrow. It really starts tomorrow in working to make sure we are centering our Black communities that have often been excluded, that we are fighting for access for our Latinx communities, that we are a city that is accessible to those who are disabled, that we are fighting for those who are often left out at the margins and that we are bringing them into the center."

Jerome Robbins Photographs, (S)*MGZEB 99-9451. Jerome Robbins Dance Division, The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts.
Jerome Robbins (born 11 October 1918 in New York City) was the younger of two children of Harry Rabinowitz, who emigrated to America from Poland in 1904, and his wife Lena Rips. Rabinowitz was at first a shopkeeper with a delicatessen on the Upper East Side of Manhattan; in the 1920's he moved the family to Jersey City and then to Weehawken, New Jersey, where he and a brother-in-law established the Comfort Corset Company. Young Jerome, who showed an early aptitude for music, dancing, and theatrics, attended schools in Weehawken and graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in 1935. Intending to study either chemistry or journalism, he matriculated at New York University in the autumn of 1935; but the Depression took a turn for the worse in 1936 and his family could no longer support his education -- especially considering that he was, by his own account, failing two courses (math and French) out of five. Unwilling to work in the corset factory, he tried to find employment in some form of show business; and through his sister Sonia, who had already danced professionally with Irma Duncan and Senya Gluck-Sandor's Dance Center, he got an apprenticeship with Sandor's company.
Robbins spent three summers at Tamiment and taking on one-shot roles in ballet performances at Jones Beach, the New York World's Fair, and elsewhere; he found work during the regular theater season in the Broadway choruses of Great Lady (1938), Stars in Your Eyes (1939), and Keep Off the Grass (1940) -- the last-named choreographed by George Balanchine. In the summer of 1940 he was accepted into the recently-formed Ballet Theatre, where he soon advanced from the corps de ballet to solo roles which showed off the taut fluidity with which he compensated for his lack of heroic classical technique: the Young Man in Agnes De Mille's Three Virgins and a Devil, an apple-munching Hermes in Helen of Troy, and -- the role which made him famous -- the tragic puppet in Petroushka.
He had been burning to choreograph a ballet himself for the company, preferably one with an American theme, to American music; but all his ideas were too grandiose for the perennially strapped company to consider. Encouraged to "think small" he came up with the idea for a ballet about three sailors on shore leave in New York City. To write the score he sought out the services of a young unknown composer named Leonard Bernstein, and Ballet Theatre's Oliver Smith agreed to design the scenery. On April 18, 1944, Fancy Free premiered at the Metropolitan Opera House to a raucous two dozen curtain calls; and in December of that year On the Town, a musical comedy based on the ballet, with music by Bernstein, dances by Robbins, sets by Smith (who also produced), and book and lyrics by a pair of Bernstein's cabaret buddies named Betty Comden and Adolph Green, had a fairy-tale opening on Broadway. From that moment until his death more than fifty years later Robbins's primacy on Broadway and in ballet was assured; but he did more than reach the top in his two spheres of influence. He changed each of his worlds from the inside out.
On Broadway he quickly established himself as the choreographer of the moment at a time when musical comedies were evolving out of the stylish but contentless song-and-dance anthologies that had showcased the talents of the Gershwins and Cole Porter and Rodgers and Hart. Robbins shows -- and as he began to direct as well as create ideas and dances for them, they truly were Robbins shows -- had, or aimed to have, a story, characters, a point.
So the Roaring Twenties musical, Billion Dollar Baby (1946 -- with book and lyrics by Comden and Green and music by Morton Gould), revolved around a gold-digging bathing beauty who serially married for money; 1947's High Button Shoes (his first collaboration with composer Jule Styne) was a nostalgic romp set in New Jersey in 1913 and featuring a Keystone Kops ballet. And 1948's Look, Ma, I'm Dancin' (which he co-directed with George Abbot, and for which he received the credit "conceived by Jerome Robbins") was the autobiographical backstage story of a super-ambitious dancer-choreographer's collision with the brewery heiress backing his ballet company; his changed character is mirrored in the two ballets he creates -- the first a brash, over-complicated expression of youthful hubris, the second altogether subtler, more thoughtful and human.
Look, Ma was succeeded by one of Robbins's rare flops, a show called That's the Ticket (1948), which Robbins directed but did not choreograph. An overly whimsical mishmash, it closed in Philadelphia after ten days. But at this point Robbins made a life altering career-change.
At Ballet Theater he had followed Fancy Free with a series of dances that integrated the classic vocabulary with modern subject matter: among them the be-bop ballet Interplay (1945) and Facsimile (1946), an angst-ridden exploration of a love triangle with a new score by Bernstein. But in 1949 he left Ballet Theater to join George Balanchine's new-born New York City Ballet, where he was almost immediately named Associate Artistic Director. He danced numerous quasi-dramatic roles for Balanchine -- including Prodigal Son, Tyl Eulenspiegel and as a principal opposite the glamorous Tanaquil Le Clercq in Bourrée Fantasque -- before retiring from performance in the mid 1950's; but it was as a choreographer that he made his mark. Ballets like The Guests (1949, score by Marc Blitzstein), Age of Anxiety (1950, to Bernstein), and the terrifying fable The Cage (1951, to Stravinsky), showcased his flair for drama, his all-American sass and energy, and his affinity for modern music. And his association with Balanchine gave him a security and sense of kinship that nourished his genius.
Robbins continued to work on Broadway, as the choreographer of two Irving Berlin shows, Miss Liberty (1949) and Call Me Madam (1950), Rodgers and Hammerstein's The King and I (1951), and Two's Company (1952), a revue starring Bette Davis. But in 1953 he stunned the theatrical community, if not the world at large, by appearing before the House Un-American Activities Committee, where he admitted to membership in the Communist Party during the 1930's and named eight individuals who he said had also been members.
His testimony was denounced by many (including some of his family) for whom McCarthyism was only steps from Nazism, but Robbins refused to justify or explain himself beyond his public statement that he had "made a great mistake... in entering the Communist Party." His decision haunted him, however, and ultimately he placed it at the center of an autobiographical drama, The Poppa Piece, which he experimented with in workshops during the early 1990's.
Ironically, his career seemed to take on added luster in this troubled time. He staged the All-American Ford 50th Anniversary Show (1953) for television with Ethel Merman and Mary Martin; co-directed The Pajama Game (1954) on Broadway; conceived, directed, and choreographed Peter Pan (1954) starring Mary Martin; directed Aaron Copland's opera The Tender Land (1954); directed and co-choreographed Bells Are Ringing (1956) starring Judy Holliday; and choreographed the film version of The King and I (1956). Meanwhile at New York City Ballet he created two masterpieces, the lyrical Afternoon of a Faun (1953) and the hilarious send-up, The Concert (1956), among other works.
In 1957 he teamed up once again with Leonard Bernstein on a musical he had been discussing with him and playwright Arthur Laurents for some years: West Side Story, a retelling of Romeo and Juliet set against a background of gang warfare in New York's Puerto Rican ghetto. Directed by Robbins, with his electrifying street-smart choreography integrated into the action, West Side Story was arguably the first "concept musical"; it broke the mold of the Broadway show and also established Robbins's reputation as a perfectionistic, difficult taskmaster -- a reputation that was one factor in his dismissal as director of the 1961 film version. He won an Academy Award for his direction nonetheless -- sharing the Oscar with co-director Robert Wise -- as well as one for choreography.
After West Side Story Robbins left New York City Ballet for a time and formed his own company, Ballets: USA, to appear at the Festival of Two Worlds in Spoleto, Italy. For it he made the explosive New York Export: Opus Jazz (1958), a ballet without music called Moves (1959), and other works; the company toured extensively in Europe but -- despite enthusiastic notices and even an appearance at the Kennedy White House -- it failed to find an ongoing audience in the United States and was disbanded in 1961. In the meantime Robbins had also directed the ultimate backstage musical, Gypsy (1959) with Ethel Merman, and now he began to branch out into non-musical theater. In 1962 he directed the American premiere of Arthur Kopit's mordant mother-son comedy, Oh, Dad, Poor Dad, Mama's Hung You In the Closet and I'm Feelin' So Sad and in 1963 a production of Brecht's Mother Courage and Her Children starring Anne Bancroft.
Two Broadway hits followed -- both shows he had originally agreed to direct, then withdrew from, and finally returned to when each seemed in danger of shipwreck during out-of-town tryouts. But although reviews for A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (1962) didn't mention his name, and although for Funny Girl (1964) he was listed only as "production supervisor," he reshaped both those musicals radically. He got full credit and then some, however, for Fiddler on the Roof (1964), the musical setting of Sholem Aleichem stories which he choreographed and directed, bringing to life as an organic musical whole the lost world of the Russian shtetl.
He accomplished a similar feat with his mammoth staging of Stravinsky's Les Noces (1965) for American Ballet Theatre, but then retreated from the pressures of huge collaborative productions. Broadway was moving in the direction of rock spectacles like Hair and Jesus Christ, Superstar, and Robbins didn't want to move with it. With the help of a 1966 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, he established the American Theatre Lab to explore experimental music-theater techniques, from dance to Noh drama, with a small handpicked company in a workshop setting for a period of two years.
Seemingly re-charged from this work, he re-emerged at City Ballet with Dances at a Gathering (1969), a poignant and playful celebration of youth and love which was widely hailed as a masterpiece. There followed a fertile creative period in which Robbins made such vastly different works as the moonlit, expressive In the Night (1970), The Goldberg Variations (1971), which explored Bach's thematic geometry, and Watermill (1972), a Noh-like meditation on the passage of a man's life. In addition he collaborated with Balanchine, with whom he now shared the title of Ballet Master, on dances for Firebird (1970) and Pulcinella (1972) -- a demonstration of the collegiality and mutual respect that had always marked their relationship. As Balanchine once said to him, speaking of the legendary Russian ballet master Marius Petipa: "Very few people can do. Petipa, you, me -- we can do."
Robbins never really left City Ballet again, except for a leave of absence in 1989 and forays into the theater for workshops of an adaptation of Brecht's The Exception and the Rule (1987) and of The Poppa Piece (1991), and the triumphant staging of his anthology show, Jerome Robbins' Broadway (1989), for which he won his fifth Tony Award. Increasingly his work seemed to move in a more and more abstract direction, away from the character-driven dances of his youth -- a process reflected in the changes he made in his last collaboration with Bernstein. Premiered as Dybbuk (1974) and based on the S. Anski play, it was first revised as The Dybbuk Variations (1974) and then as A Suite of Dances (1980), a ballet-in-progress which Robbins kept trying to reduce to its essence.
Essence did not mean homogeneity, however: Robbins's work was still as protean as ever, from the sensuous and jazzy lyricism of In G Major (1975) and the opera-house pyrotechnics of Four Seasons (1979) to the spiky Opus 19: The Dreamer (1979) and the elegiac In Memory of... (1985). He was still experimenting with contemporary music, with ballets to Philip Glass (Glass Pieces, 1983) and Steve Reich (Octet, 1985), but it was Bach who spoke most clearly to him in his last decade, when he made the spare, poetic A Suite of Dances (1994) for Mikhail Baryshnikov to Bach's suites for unaccompanied cello; the deceptively simple Two- and Three-Part Inventions (1994) for the students of the School of American Ballet, and the exuberant Brandenburg (1997) for City Ballet.
By then he was in fragile health, following a bicycle accident in 1990 and heart-valve surgery in 1994; in 1996 he began showing signs of a form of Parkinson's disease and his hearing was poor; yet he insisted on staging Les Noces for City Ballet (1998). It was the last thing he did; two months later he suffered a massive stroke, and he died at his home in New York on July 29, 1998.
Robbins had already been made Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor, and had won 5 Donaldson Awards, 5 Tony Awards, 2 Academy Awards, 1 Emmy Award, the Kennedy Center Honors, and numerous other prizes; on the evening of his death, the lights of Broadway were dimmed for a moment in tribute. In the more than sixty years in which he had been active in the theater, he had transformed it because he never stopped asking questions. "Why can't we do ballets about our own subjects, meaning our life here in America?" he asked before making Fancy Free. And, speaking of the collaboration that made West Side Story, "Why couldn't we, in aspiration, try to bring our deepest talents together to the commercial theater?" His own work answered both questions in the affirmative.
c2001 by Amanda Vaill This article first appeared in Scribner's Encyclopedia of American Lives.
The photographs of Jerome Robbins contain professional and personal photographs covering all aspects of his life and his works, ranging from his most of his ballets and theatrical productions to images of his friends and family.
The ballet photographs cover his career from Jerome Robbins' early days as a performer in such shows as Three Virgins and a Devil, 1941, including portrait Carl Van Vechten prints in costume, through his early choreographic work with Ballet Theatre and then the New York City Ballet, with such ballets as Fancy Free, 1944, Facsimile, 1946, and The Cage, 1951, and Afternoon of a Faun, 1953. His work with New York City Ballet after the late sixties into the mid-seventies, during which time he was co-Ballet Master with George Balanchine, is extensively covered, particularly Dances at a Gathering, 1969, Goldberg Variations, 1971, and Watermill, 1972, the last two ballets of which are arranged photographically in the same order in which the ballet was performed. There are fewer photographs of the ballets that Robbins created in the 1980s for the New York City Ballet. The ballet company created by Robbins, Ballets: U.S.A., is well represented among the photographs and the images of all of its specific ballets are kept together.
The range of theatrical photographs begin approximately where Jerome Robbins' theatrical career began with a one-line walk on in a play called The Brothers Ashkenazi, 1937. There are a few images also from his time at the Camps Kittatinny and Tamiment as a teenager and young man and his early work as a chorus dancer in Broadway shows. A noticeable absence in the collection is images of On the Town, 1944, his first great success as a theatrical choreographer. His early choreographic work on later shows is evident by rare, out-of-town, rehearsal photographs of somewhat variable photographic quality, but which are very important for documenting the creation of his work. Robbins' major theatrical shows, Fiddler on the Roof, 1964, The King and I, 1951 (play) and 1956 (motion picture), and West Side Story, 1957 (play) and 1961 (motion picture), are well represented among the photographs. As is his work as a director of straight play in the early 1960s. Not found among the photographs are his work with the American Theatre Lab, Inc. or his various 1980s workshop productions of Poppa Piece, his autobiographical piece. His final show for the stage, Jerome Robbins' Broadway, 1989 has a large series of rehearsal photographs including the celebration of Robbins' 70th birthday.
The professional photographs also contain images of other ballet companies that have performed Robbins' work, various tours and travels of Robbins, particularly in Europe in the 1950s, and galas and events including performances at various White House events and attendance at the Tony Awards. Included are two scrapbooks given to Robbins to celebrate evenings of his work, one given to Robbins' by the New York City Ballet and the other by Opéra de Paris.
The personal photographs contain portraits and candid images of Jerome Robbins, family members, friends, and his residences. Robbins has had his portrait done by some significant portraitists over the years, including Richard Avedon and Yousuf Karsh, and they are both included in the collection of photographs. The family photographs date from the time the family lived in Russia through to Robbins' sister, Sonia Cullinen, in the 1990s with her grandchildren and document many family gatherings over the years.
This series contains photographs covering Jerome Robbins' professional life, both as a choreographer and/or director of theatrical productions and of ballets. It ranges from his earliest work as a dancer in the chorus of Broadway shows into the retrospectives of his work both on stage, in Jerome Robbins' Broadway, 1989, and the New York City Ballet's Festival of Jerome Robbins' Ballets, 1990. The ballet company he himself set up, Ballets: U.S.A., is represented in sub-series 3, Companies. Robbins' professional travels all across Europe and later China, 1981, are documented.
This series contains photographs representing Jerome Robbins' personal and family life. Portraits shows images of Robbins ranging from his very earliest childhood and ending in the 1990s, ranging from professional photographers taking studio images to friends and family taking a photograph in a more relaxed atmosphere. His family is represented from images that range from his relatives in Russian in the 1890s to his sister, Sonia, and her grandchildren in the 1990s. The images of his friends are a mix of the personal and the professional and cover all aspects of his life. Robbins' homes, particularly those on Long Island, are well represented and include photographs of his friends at his various residences.
This series consists of oversize photographs pulled from the various series of professional and personal photographs and span Jerome Robbins' personal and professional life in the same manner.

Q: jQuery .click method not firing for list items I'm trying to use jQuery to add a click function to a list item. I had this method working using JS and onClick(), however I am trying to bring the code up to date with using jQuery. So my list has the following structure:

      Previous

       1

       Next

The jQuery function is on the document.read function:
$(function () {
    $('ul.pagination li.page-item').click(function () {
        var $li = $(this);
        $.ajax({
            type: 'GET',
            url: '/Projects/ProjectTable/CountProjects',
            data: { searchString: $('#searchBox').val() },
            success: function(result) {
                $('#table-container').load('/Projects/ProjectTable/TestPartialView',
                    {
                        searchString: $('#searchBox').val(),
                        currentPage: page,
                        projectCount: result
                    }, function() {
                        $li.addClass('active');
                    });
            }
        });
    });

    getTable();
});

getTable() is being executed, however when I click on any
 the method is not called. I have tried removing ul.pagination from the .click call but again that has had no impact.
What do I need to change so that the
 have a .click method on each of them?
I have checked the console and there are no errors being reported at all.

A: There are a few problems with your code.
it seems you never remove the "disabled" class, even when you add the "active" one (but maybe that is what you want), and you are not using event delegation so maybe your even was binding before the
 elements were created.
Try this:

$('.pagination').on("click", ".page-item", function(){
      console.log(this);
});

      Previous

       1

       Next

Here is the same code, written in a more understandable way (IMHO)
$(()=>{
    $('.pagination').on("click", ".page-item", onPaginationItemClick);

    function onPaginationItemClick(){
        var listItem = this,

            // it's nicer to assign jQuery ajax calls to a variable, so it could be aborted if needed
            CountProjects_REQ = $.ajax({
                type : 'GET',
                url  : '/Projects/ProjectTable/CountProjects',
                data : { searchString: $('#searchBox').val() }
            });

         // using the "done()" method on the jQuery XHR object. do not use "success", it is the old and aweful way
        CountProjects_REQ.done(RES => {
            $('#table-container').load('/Projects/ProjectTable/TestPartialView', {
                searchString : $('#searchBox').val(),
                currentPage  : page,
                projectCount : RES
            }, ()=>{
                listItem.classList.add('active');
            });
        })
    };

    // I have no idea what this part is for...I'll just leave it here
    getTable();
});

A: $('ul.pagination li.page-item') works for the click event:

$('ul.pagination li.page-item').click(function () {
  console.log('clicked');
});

      Previous

       1

       Next

If you are adding the li dynamically then you can better use,
$(document).on('click', 'ul.pagination li.page-item', function () {
  console.log('clicked');
});

Music Room at The Breakers, Newport, Rhode Island
Southern New England cities offer unique styles and fine designs
Southern New Englanders have always prided themselves on the fine design and workmanship of their goods, both edible and otherwise. There's hardly a city or town that doesn't boast handcrafted brews, locally made foods and works created by regional artists. But the skill goes beyond crafts and cuisine. The old mansions, colonial churches and hand-built wooden bridges from generations ago reflect the spirit of fine design that permeates the region.
The history of Southern New England is also the history of the nation. It's where the independent spirit was formed and the revolution started. Road trips in the region will take you from one end of U.S. history to the other. Groups can see where the pilgrims landed in 1620 and then visit the world's largest maritime museum.
Groups can also experience what life was like in the 1800s at Old Sturbridge Village in Massachusetts or Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where a living history museum covers four centuries and shows how styles have changed. Southern New England preserves whole towns as new ones emerge.
Cornish, New Hampshire, is home to the summer estate of America's famed Augustus Saint-Gaudens, spread over 150 acres. Not far away are Shaker villages, with buildings reflecting the inherent beauty and simplicity of the communities. Shaker Modern homes continue the tradition with contemporary twists. Artists also gravitate to the region.
Let's take a closer look at some of Southern New England's intriguing style and design features.
For such an itty-bitty state (the smallest in the United States), Rhode Island boasts a wealth of eye-catching landmarks and attractions. Where else can you find gorgeous beaches, majestic mansions and historic towns in such a compact area? But the Ocean State also embodies all things progressive. There, your group will find an innovative arts scene, world-class cuisine and trendy shopping—all within a short drive.
Hotel Viking, Newport, Rhode Island
Start in Newport, founded in 1639 and dubbed the City of Summer White Houses. Newport has a flamboyant past, picture-perfect location and dozens of waterfront views along its strollable streets. The harbor was the site of the America's Cup for years and still attracts yachters with its colorful regattas.
"Newport offers exactly what we need, which includes a central location for our members to meet between the mid-Atlantic states and Northern New England," says Carol Turner, executive director of Coalition of New England Companies for Trade. "It's easy to get to and get around without any big-city traffic or parking problems. Its accommodations are diverse—from major hotels to resorts, inns, and bed and breakfasts.
"Off-site venues are plentiful and unique. How many cities offer private event space for 300 in a Gilded Age mansion or a resort on Newport harbor with lovely tented facilities, gardens and gorgeous water views? Our members tell us they feel like they've been on vacation after leaving Newport."
A first stop should be Bellevue Avenue to see the famed Gilded Age mansions, also known as Newport's "summer cottages." The most famous of the bunch is the 70-room The Breakers, commissioned in 1893 and patterned after an Italian Renaissance palazzo. It is the largest and most opulent of the "cottages" and was inspired by the 16th-century palaces of Genoa and Turin.
Just down the street is Marble House, another summer cottage inspired by the Petit Trianon at Versailles. This jewel was built to the tune of $11 million as the 39th-birthday gift for a Vanderbilt wife, who called it her "temple to the arts."
At Rosecliff, you can follow in the footsteps of Newport's elite. Featured in The Great Gatsby and High Society, Rosecliff was party central for the summer crowd, hosting magical dinners and entertainment, including Harry Houdini. Today, the mansion is again party central, with event space that includes a ballroom that can hold 180 for dinner and a terrace accommodating 300 for receptions.
More of the city's period architecture can be found at Newport Historic District, lined with Colonial, Georgian and Federal landmarks such as Trinity Church and Fort Adams, tracing its roots to the 19th century. It hosts summer concerts with a view of the water.
When it comes to hotels, the 257-room Gurney's Newport Resort & Marina is a hop, skip and shuttle from Newport—on its own private island. The waterfront property provides easy access to attractions plus the most event space in Newport: 27,000 sq. ft. of ballrooms and halls, and 50,000 sq. ft. of lawns and pavilions.
Just coming off a $6.2 million restoration is the 208-room luxurious Hotel Viking, opened in 1926. The hotel is perched atop Newport's Historic Hill and features rooms designed in Gilded Age style. Some 13,000 sq. ft. of function space is available.
Dubbed "America's coolest city" by GQ magazine, Providence offers all things artsy: artsy design, artsy food and artsy culture. A good first stop is Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), incorporated in 1877 and with graduates including glass sculptor Dale Chihuly and fashion designer Nicole Miller. No limits on innovation there. Students have designed everything from backpacks to a space suit for astronauts to wear on a mission to Mars. RISD museum is a must-see for its world-class collections. The Grand Gallery holds 200 guests, who can enjoy cocktails while browsing 17th- and 18th-century European art.
Well-established as a foodie frontier, Providence is home to Providence Johnson & Wales College of Culinary Arts, where some of the world's culinary leaders have fired up the grill. Alumnus David Kinch of Michelin-rated Manresa in Los Gatos, California, was awarded Michelin's coveted Outstanding Chef award.
With a culinary school smack-dab in the middle of the city, it's no surprise that dining downtown can be a feast. Nick's on Broadway is managed by James Beard-nominated chef Derek Wagner and Birch has Benjamin Suki, also a James Beard nominated chef, at the helm.
Offering 5,500 guest rooms, Providence is an ideal destination for conventions. Some 2,100 of the rooms are within walking distance of Rhode Island Convention Center, which offers 100,000 sq. ft. of exhibition space, 20,000 sq. ft. of ballroom space and 30,000 sq. ft. of prefunction space. A skybridge connects the convention center to the 564-room Omni Providence Hotel.
"Junior Volleyball Camps and NERVA [New England Regional Volleyball Association] chose Providence to host our two-weekend Rhode Island Rumble tournament and several future events, as the downtown has so much to offer," says AJ Joseph, president of Joseph Volleyball Camps and AR Courts. "The large number of hotel rooms within easy walking distance of the convention center, the mall connected via skybridge, the events at the Dunk (Dunkin' Donuts Center) and so many restaurants open late provide numerous activity options for our teams and their families off the court."
One of the city's top hotels, the landmark Providence Biltmore is rehanging its shingle as Graduate Providence. Designed in 1922 by the same firm behind New York City's Grand Central Station, the hotel has renovated its 294 guest rooms and common areas while retaining original features such as the ornate lobby ceiling and glass-and-brass elevator. The new owners added plaid, tweed and leather to create the feel of a post-grad bachelor pad. Some 18,000 sq. ft. of meeting space is available.
The 351-room Marriott Providence Downtown offers more than 17,000 sq. ft. of flexible space, including 13 meeting rooms, three ballrooms and outdoor event venues.
If ocean views and the sound of the surf are at the top of your list, head less than an hour outside Providence to the luxurious, 67-room Ocean House, a Victorian-style hotel set on a bluff overlooking the ocean. Built just after Civil War, it shuttered for a $146 million makeover to recreate itself as an Old World summer estate. One of 11 Forbes Triple Five Star resorts in the world, Ocean House offers a 12,000-square-foot spa, Secret Garden lounge pouring Veuve Clicquot champagne and more than 10,000 sq. ft. for events.
The third-smallest state in the United States, Connecticut still manages to pack a wallop when it comes to art, history and culture. Visitors will find colonial meeting houses, country churches, old farmsteads and dozens of 19th-century buildings, reborn as restaurants and shops.
"We were looking for a special meeting venue with sophisticated technology to accommodate our group, but in a more personal setting than a big-city hotel or conference center," says Kimberly Durden, membership and advertising coordinator for Cryogenic Society of America, who chose Heritage Hotel Golf, Spa & Conference Center in Southbury for her group. "We especially liked the convenience for off-site experiences—it is less than an hour from the Connecticut shoreline and scenic Litchfield County, and easy for daytrips to New York, Boston and other parts of New England."
Mark Twain House and Museum, Hartford
The capital of Connecticut is Hartford, founded in 1635 and home to the nation's oldest public art museum, oldest publicly funded park and oldest continuously published newspaper in the United States. It is also home to Mark Twain House & Museum, often acclaimed as one of the best historic homes in the world.
This 1874 mansion provides a glimpse into the writer's life. You can see the desk and billiards room where Twain (aka Samuel Clemens) wrote his best works, including Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. No roughing it there: The house had all the modern amenities of its time, including seven bathrooms, hot water, flushing toilets and a burglar alarm to alert the staff of any prowlers.
Rub elbows with Twain's spirit in Webster Bank Museum Center at The Mark Twain House & Museum, where a theater shows Ken Burns' highly acclaimed mini-documentary on Twain and you will find meeting space for 540, including a reception area in the Hal Holbrook hall.
If your group visits a historic city, it's fitting for it to stay in a historic hotel. Goodwin Hotel is a stylish jewel housed in an 1800s terracotta building just a short walk from Bushnell Park. Built as an upscale apartment complex, with JP Morgan as a resident, it was converted to a hotel in the 1980s, retaining the original stone fireplaces and mahogany woods. In addition to elegant restaurants and lounges, there's a 1,192-square-foot ballroom with panel molding and vintage chandeliers.
The 114-room Delamar West Hartford is the newest downtown property. Packed with luxurious offerings, the LEED-certified hotel features a full-service spa, fine dining and meeting space for up to 400 guests. The 409-room Hartford Marriott Downtown connects to Connecticut Convention Center and offers 13,089 sq. ft. of event space.
Louie's Lunch, New Haven, Connecticut
College and culture go hand in hand in New Haven, home to Yale University, built in 1701 and boasting a world-class collection of art and antiques. Lesser claims to fame include being home of the first hamburger (1895) at Louie's Lunch, still in operation.
If you love art, head to Yale University Art Gallery, the first commission of famed architect Louis Kahn. It is the oldest university art collection in the nation, with works that rival any world-class museum. Look for paintings by Van Gogh, Rubens, Hals and Picasso.
Book lovers should check out Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, which features original manuscripts by Charles Dickens, Goethe, Gertrude Stein and Benjamin Franklin. It also displays one of only 48 Gutenberg Bibles still surviving, plus an enormous repository of literary items ranging from medieval to Western Americana. It's the world's largest building designed for housing books.
For a fun afternoon excursion, groups can hop onboard an open-sided antique trolley, the oldest continuously running suburban trolley in the country. Follow along River Street to Short Beach, then allow time to tour Shore Line Trolley Museum, with its well-maintained carriages. A 1911 "party" trolley is available to rent.
Hotels are varied in New Haven, but for sheer convenience, the 306-room Omni New Haven Hotel at Yale can't be beat. Centrally located, it offers 22,000 sq. ft. of meeting space. The 108-room Blake Hotel is the latest boutique hotel to roll out the red carpet. It is named for Alice Blake, the first woman to graduate from Yale Law School, and features a New England bistro run by a Michelin-starred chef.
One unique venue is the new Boathouse at Canal Dock, a $43 million property that has function space, a boat launch and an ongoing exhibit of the history of the waterfront. Parties and meetings can be held in a 3,600-square-foot room that opens to a balcony, with views of the harbor.
Massachusetts is one of those states that offers the best of everything, including mountains for ski buffs and oceans for water warriors. History fans can relive Paul Revere's Ride, while birders can bask in the Berkshires with their binoculars. If you're just hoping to relax, surf and sand of Cape Cod await.
Boston Commons Park
A good home base for any meeting is Boston, with its cobblestone streets and the iconic landscape of Harvard University. Founded in 1636, its's one of the oldest cities in the country, with a rich history and a legacy of arts and culture.
Newbury Street has long been a popular destination for upscale shops housed in buildings dating to the city's founding. Known for its European design elements, such as wide sidewalks, the street has been exclusive ever since its beginnings as a residential neighborhood. Today, the street reigns supreme as the place in Boston for fashion and style.
At Faneuil Hall Marketplace, you can eat, stroll and shop 'til you drop. The marketplace is actually four places in one—Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market, North Market and South Market—all surrounding a cobblestone courtyard. It has been a marketplace since the 1700s and is beloved for its food stalls, boutiques and nonstop entertainment.
For peace and quiet, make your way to Boston Commons, America's oldest city park, dating to 1634. Play in the splash pool or just soak up the rays on a wide swath of grass.
The hotel scene in Boston is just as busy as the city itself, with 35 new hotel projects planned and a potential for 5,000 new guest rooms within the next five years. More than half of the rooms will be at the south Boston Waterfront, near the convention center. One of these, Boston Harbor Hotel, is just wrapping up a redesign of its 230 guest rooms, with colors and textures inspired by the nautical setting.
Also near the harbor is the 671-room Encore Boston Harbor, America's first five-star urban gaming resort, scheduled to open this summer. Look for 29 floors housing 13 restaurants and lounges, and 50,000 sq. ft. of meeting space. Water ferries and water taxis shuttle guests to other sections of the harbor.
Boston Park Plaza has completed a $100 million renovation, revitalizing the historic hotel's 1,060 guest rooms and six in-house restaurants and bars, as well as transforming 55,000 sq. ft. of meeting space. For sheer history, there's Taj Boston, which has plunged into a redesign of the 90-year-old building, including relocating the main entrance and updating all 273 guest rooms. The hotel is slated to reopen in 2020.
Head out of Boston to Springfield and your attendees might find a cat in a hat, or ham and green eggs at The Amazing World of Dr. Seuss Museum, the only museum celebrating the life and work of the ingenious author and Springfield native Theodor Seuss Geisel. Besides interactive experiences, the museum has artwork, furniture and exhibits emphasizing literacy.
Equally innovative is Hoop Hall at Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, located on the banks of the Connecticut River. This landmark museum pays tribute to the game, invented in the city more than a century ago, and exhibits share the court with basketball history. Besides the monumental building, the draw is live clinics where you can test your dribbling and shooting skills.
Springfield seems like an unlikely place for a Titanic museum, but it's there for the finding. Among the items on display at Titanic Museum are the life jacket worn by crash survivor Madeleine Astor, a menu, a dining chair, and sections of carpet and railing removed from the wreck. The museum also showcases a model of the Titanic that details every inch of how the ship looked in 1912.
In addition to its exhibits, the museum hosts experts discussing maritime disasters. Members of Titanic Historical Society, Inc. were extras in the blockbuster Titanic film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
One of the largest properties in the city, MGM Springfield Resort Casino, has 250 guest rooms, a luxury spa, gaming, 55,000 sq. ft. of retail and dining, and 34,000 sq. ft. of meeting space.
Unusual Buildings Reincarnated into Hotels
Southern New England holds onto its historic buildings like a mother cherishes her child. But no place is sacrosanct from the imagination of an innovative hotelier. Where else can you find unusual structures reformed and reworked as destinations for guests to rest their weary heads?
At The Liberty, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Boston, you get out of jail every morning and go free. The 298-room, AAA Four Diamond property was originally a prison that housed notables such as Malcolm X and the Boston Strangler. Today the metal bars are gone, and the interior has been rehabilitated into a comfy retreat for guests who like luxury away from the hubbub of downtown. Clink, one of several restaurants and bars, includes the remains of an old jail cell, and Alibi was the city's drunk tank.
Providence, Rhode Island, brings new meaning to the word re-use. Take the city's historic Masonic temple, dating to the 1920s, once abandoned and occupied by squatters until Marriott took over the Greek Revival-style structure and restored it as the luxurious Renaissance Providence Downtown Hotel. There is function space for 500.
You'll thank your lucky angel if you're staying at Belfry Inn & Bistro in Cape Cod. This 22-room property spread over three structures was once a Catholic church before it was desanctified into a hotel and restaurant. Built in 1901, the abbey and neighboring Victorian house, which served as the church rectory, retain their large fireplaces and stained-glass windows. The hotel accommodates 110 for receptions.
The Kendall Hotel in Cambridge, Massachusetts (pictured) dates to the 1890s when it was the Engine 7 firehouse. Two Rhode Island School of Design alums renovated the site into an artsy mix of old and new. The hotel restaurant, Black Sheep, is named for the firefighters who once called the site home. A new tower has meeting space for small groups.
Southern New England Trails with Tales
Southern New England is chock-full of good hiking trails not far from downtown, and most take you along a path of history. Here are a few routes worth stretching your legs.
Newport's 3.5 miles of style is its Cliff Walk, which takes you past the famed Gilded Age mansions. Despite the glitz blitz, it's a serene walk with panoramic views of the water. For a sunset stroll, make your way to Fort Adams Bay Walk. The west side of the walk runs along the East Passage of Narragansett Bay, with stunning views of the sun setting over Jamestown. The east side overlooks the harbor and Brenton Cove, a pretty place to anchor a boat.
Boston has a bevy of good walks, and one jewel is Emerald Necklace, a system of parks covering more than 7 miles, starting at Fens in Back Bay and working its way along the Riverway, Olmsted Park, Jamaica Pond and Arnold Arboretum. Scenery ranges from sailboats to a zoo.
There is no shortage of walks in Connecticut, but the tour of art at Yale in New Haven is a rich source of sculpture and architecture that includes works by Maya Lin, Alexander Calder, Roy Lichtenstein and others. Group tours can be arranged at Yale Visitor Center.
If you grimace at gravestones, you haven't toured Grove Street Cemetery in New Haven, resting place of Yale luminaries such as Eli Whitney and Noah Webster. Rumor has it that Yale med students would creep in after dark and dig up bodies for dissection. Established in 1797, the cemetery is set behind a stone wall and iron fence, and its beauty is enhanced by the Egyptian Revival-style gate.

After nearly tagging the upper end of its multi-month trading range seven sessions ago, the S&P has settled the week back down near the middle of its range. Friday closed the week with an inside compression bar, which could set the stage for some fireworks early next week.
The S&P has given back 50% of the rather impressive advance from its mid-June 1258 low. It is now critical that S&P bulls muscle the index back up above the 1356 level. Failure to do so in the next ten sessions or so, will place the index at risk of retesting and possibly breaching the lower end of its range.
Though our proprietary trend signal bias is still bullish, the market remains range bound between 1249 and 1370 over the near to medium term. Victors of this multi-month sideways battle will celebrate upon a 120-point expansion or a 120-point contraction of the current range.
Longer-term, bulls will celebrate the spoils of this skirmish round about the 1490 handle, or about 13% north of current levels. Their bearish opponents will collect their bounty down around the 1130 level, which equates to a 14% decline from this week's close. So long as both contingents are generally successful at defending their respective range boundaries, the battle will continue. Right now, this particular battle is dead even.
Elliott Wave Technology's Near Term Outlook is for those who demand masterfully consistent and objective technical analysis that visually lays out actionable ideas from which to engage the broad markets over the short and near term. The publication is delivered to institutional and private clients each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evening. The Near Term Outlook covers 7 essential broad markets.


How much carbohydrates are in Soylent?
Simple carbohydrates- These are fast acting and give quick boosts of energy.
Complex carbohydrates- These are harder to burn and last longer.
You need a mixture of these two types of carbohydrates to achieve a healthy diet. Consuming too much of either one will result in a rush then crash or feeling sluggish. Powder has a mixture of both to give you the energy needed in a daily diet.

Q: Can an outsider get all the info from a database on pythonanywhere? I have a small app hosted on pythonanywhere. Can an outsider get all the sensitive data from my db?
Is pythonanywhere protecting against attackers?

A: Data stored on your PythonAnywhere account is basically as safe as the account itself.  So as long as your credentials are not compromised, you can assume that no outsider has access to it.  If you have a web app, users have as much access to your data stored on your account, as you expose it via the web app and the code visible in the browser.


Begun in 1909 in the composer's idyllic Austrian mountain retreat, at a time when Mahler was preoccupied by thoughts of his own mortality, his last completed symphony has been described as his most death-haunted work. Scored for forces which are modest, by Mahlerian standards, this extended work is characterized by its unusual construction, often soloistic orchestral writing, evocative use of keys and haunting use of motives and references to traditional Austrian folk dance. This release is a valuable addition to the Hallé canon of great symphonies, including recent releases devoted to Vaughan Williams: Nos 5&8 CD HLL 7533 - Sunday Times Album of the Week and Music Web Recording of the Month; and No 3 CD HLL 7540 – Gramophone Editor's Choice Feb 2015 Hallé will perform Mahler Symphony No.5 under Elder at the Bridgewater Hall on 19th March and Mahler Symphony No.1 under Markus Stenz, Principal Guest Conductor, in repeated performances in Manchester and Sheffield in April.
