Die tote Stadt: The Dead City Livens Up Palermo
Erich Wolfgang Korngold's music drama Die tote Stadt has had a rather erratic life in major opera houses.
After the horrors of Jagoš Marković's production of Le Nozze di Figaro in Belgrade, I was apprehensive lest Nabucco in Serbia's second city of Novi Sad on 27th October would be transplanted from 6th century BC Babylon to post-Saddam Hussein Tikrit or some bombed-out kibbutz in Beersheba.
First Toronto, then Houston and now San Francisco, the third stop of a new production of Puccini's La bohème by Canadian born, British nurtured theater director John Caird.
Every once in a while Los Angeles Opera presents an important recital in the three thousand seat Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.
This third revival of Laurent Pelly's production of Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore needed a bit of a pep up to get moving but once it had been given a shot of 'medicinal' tincture things spiced up nicely.
Founded in 1996, Samling describes itself as a charity which 'inspires musical excellence in young people'.
The good news is that you don't have to go all the way to Pesaro for great Rossini.
Maître à danser: William Christie and Les Arts Florissants at the Barbican, London, presented a defining moment in Rameau performance practice, choreographed with a team of dancers.
The most memorable thing (and definitely not in a good way) about this performance of Le Nozze di Figaro at the Serbian National Theatre in Belgrade was the self-serving, infantile, offensive and just plain wrong production by celebrated Serbian theatre director Jagoš Marković.
Should looks matter when casting the role of the iconic temptress for HD simulcast?
Maurice Greene (1696-1755) had a highly successful musical career. Organist of St. Paul's Cathedral, a position to which he was elected when he was just 22 years-old, he later became organist of the Chapel Royal, Professor of Music at the University of Cambridge and, from 1735, Master of the King's Music.
Yet another Tosca is hardly exciting news, if news at all. The current five performances have come just two years after SFO alternated divas Angela Gheorghiu and Patricia Racette in the title role.
What an enjoyable opportunity to encounter Dvořák's sixth opera, Šelma Sedlák¸or The Cunning Peasant!
Whether biblical parable or mythological moralising, it's all the same really: human hubris, humility, sacrifice and redemption.
Opera Rara brought a rare performance of Donizetti's first opera for the Paris Opera to the Royal Festival Hall on 4 November 2014, following recording sessions for the opera.
Bass baritone, Luca Pisaroni, known to opera lovers throughout the world for his excellence in Mozart roles, offered San Diego vocal aficionados a double treat on October 28th: his mellifluous voice, and a recital of German songs.
Jonathan Miller's production of La bohème for ENO, shared with Cincinnati Opera, sits uneasily, at least as revived by Natascha Metherell, between comedy and tragedy.
Any Florian Boesch and Malcolm Martineau performance is superb, but this Wigmore Hall recital surprised, too. Boesch's Schubert is wonderful, but this time, it was his Liszt and Strauss songs which stood out. This year at the Wigmore Hall, we've heard a lot of Liszt and a lot of Richard Strauss everywhere, establishing high standards, but this was special.
The weather was auspicious for Wexford Festival Opera's first-night firework display — mild, clear and calm. But, as the rainbow rockets exploded over the River Slaney, even bigger bangs were being made down at the quayside.
The cast of supporting roles was especially strong in the company's new production of Mozart's matchless masterpiece
The company uncorks its 40th Anniversary season with a visually and musically satisfying production of Johann Strauss Jr.'s farcical operetta
Erich Wolfgang Korngold's music drama Die tote Stadt has had a rather erratic life in major opera houses.
The author was an "enfant prodige" when at the age of 23 , and with already two successful operas on his back, Die tote Stadt ( "The Dead City") had the privilege of simultaneous premières in Hamburg and Cologne. It had been turned down by Vienna mainly because of a rift between Gustav Mahler (then, at the helm of the Staatsoper) and Korngold's father, Julius, a well known (and very strong minded) music reviewer as well as co-author (with his son) of the terse libretto. The success was enormous. Also in Vienna, where it was staged a few months later.
Even before the first staging, Giacomo Puccini was so shocked by a piano performance by "young Erich Wolfgang" that, according to hearsay in many of his biographies, stopped composing the final part of Turandot. In the 1920s, Die tote Stadt was applauded in all main European opera houses. At the advent of Nazism, Korngold emigrated to the U.S. where he spent most of his life between New York and Los Angeles. He became a well known author of film music, winning no less than two Oscar Prizes.
After a long period of silence, Die tote Stadt found a new lease on life in the mid-1970s, with successful and almost parallel, albeit very different productions, in New York (at the City Opera) and in Munich. I loved the City Opera production when I was living in Washington; the music drama was being toured in the USA. It appeared quite frequently until the mid-1980s. Then a new phase of relative oblivion; it re-emerged in the late 1990 at the Spoleto Festival and in 2004 at the Salzburg Festival. The Salzburg production, staged by Willy Decker, had standing ovation; since then, it is in the repertory of the Vienna Staatsoper and has been seen in Barcelona, Madrid and several other major theaters; last February was in London at the RHO. In Italy, Die tote Stadt had his premère in Catania in 1996, was in Spoleto in 1998 and is now in Venice and Palermo in a new sparkling production — quite different from Decker's.
The plot is base on a decadent late 19th century novel by the symbolistic writer and poet Georges Rodendach — also the basis, as a play, for a major box-office hit It revolves around the obsessions of young widower, Paul; madly in love for his past wife Marie. He thinks that she revives in a sexy dancer, Mariette, visiting Bruges ("the dead city") to perform in the local opera house. To come to grip with his obsessive day-dreams, Paul has to kill Mariette and leave Bruges forever. The score includes a broad cross-section of all what was in vogue in Central Europe in the years around the First World War. It has reminisces from Wagner and Strauss but especially the opulence of Schreker. The listener can feel that Zemlisky was Korngold's teacher, not only Schönberg. The complex vocal and orchestral score leaves also room to two set pieces — Mariette's Lute Song and Pierrot's Dance Song — easy to listen and frequently requested in German radio programs.A scene from Die tote Stadt [Photo by Michele Crosera]
The Palermo and Venice joint productions — two of the rare financially sound Italian opera houses — features a fascinating staging by Pier Luigi Pizzi. With a skillful use of mirrors and lighting, we are enthralled in a deadly atmosphere: Paul's house opens on a decaying city in a dark swamp of stagnant water. The details are carefully described in James Sohre's review of the Venice production published in Opera Today on 8 March. In Palermo, though, there is a different cast. The conductor Will Humburg digs into the score to show its modern approach as well the "virtuoso" efforts requested to some orchestra soloist. Very taxing the role of the protagonist, Paul, always on stage with a heldentenor pitch; John Trelaven is up to the required standard; in my opinion, a better fit than Stefan Vinke in Venice . Nicole Beller Carbone is an erotic Mariette, both vocally and dramatically. Good all the others.
The Palermo audience is gradually getting adjusted to more innovative opera seasons than those of the past and applauded warmly the April 16th opening night of Die tote Stadt in their beloved Teatro Massimo.

Carrie and Brad Make the CMAs a Nashville Night to Remember
The red carpet was fun, but the real action happened on stage at last night's CMA Awards. Reese was out to present Brad Paisley the award for Male Vocalist of the Year while Nicole Kidman left Keith's side for a minute to give out a statue alongside her Australia costar Hugh Jackman. Keith didn't take home any statues but he did perform his new single to kick off the show alongside the hosts for the night, Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley. Kid Rock brought a new edge to the show taking the stage with Lil' Wayne on the guitar. Shania Twain looked simply stunning. Carrie, who showed off many gorgeous gowns, scored Female Vocalist of the Year, but the night's big winner was Kenny Chesney once again — see the full list of winners here. The 42nd CMA Awards kept things fun, youthful and interesting out to perform and celebrate another year in country music together.

The Redbreast range has increased from just one 12 year old to comprise of four whiskeys including the 12, 15, 21 year olds plus this Cask Strength edition. All of this in the space of about 6 years. The Cask Strength has perhaps been one of the most favourably received and won 'Irish Whiskey of the Year' in the 2013 Irish Whiskey Awards. Most of the maturation is done in sherry casks but with careful selection so that the sherry character does not overpower the whiskey. The pot still content really shines through which explains why it has been winning so many awards.
|Tasting Note from the Celtic Whiskey Shop
|Tasting Note from the Celtic Whiskey Shop
|Pronounced aromas of bread, marzipan, vanilla, apricot and citrus with less obvious Sherry cask influence than the standard 12 Year Old
|Forceful, fresh and crisp but with a rich mouthfeel. Almost like an unpeated Scottish coastal malt in character. Tropical fruits, exotic spice and vanilla flavours. Very complex. Becomes more spicy with time. Great length, less sherry influence than the standard bottling and a little rougher round the edges, but this is made up by the gloriously complex character.

It was a long-weekend in Canada, but you could forgive the 2014 MasterCard Memorial Cup host London Knights if they didn't feel in the mood for celebrating. In fact, a noted lack of fireworks so far has left London with a very real risk of being relegated to the role of gracious host as opposed to conquering heroes in front of their 8,900-plus fans at the Budweiser Gardens.
2014 Memorial Cup: Knights gearing up after month away from live action
All year long, the London Knights talked about how, despite a guaranteed berth in the 2014 Memorial Cup Tournament as the host squad, the team wanted to enter the tournament through the proverbial front door. When the Guelph Storm slammed that door shut with a 4-1 series victory on April 11th, it changed the way the team needed to approach the finals.

The 2014 NHL Draft is still two months away, but it is never too early to take a look at some of the prospects eligible for this year's draft that have been passed over in previous drafts. This edition of "Off the Radar" looks at five prospects that could finally have their names called over the course of the two-day draft taking place in Philadelphia, PA in late June.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Cutting ties with dentist was the right thing to do
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I got a terrible shock sitting in the dentist's office when my abusive ex walked in. I knew we shared the same dentist, but didn't think to change that. Somehow I thought my ex would change dentists. No such luck. All of a sudden it came flooding back -- the time my ex slugged me and knocked my tooth out and I had to come there and lie to my dentist about having a fall. My jerk ex kept glaring at me in the waiting room. I wanted to run, but I was scared to walk out to my car or he would follow me. I was called into the (treatment room) soon, and I told him the truth and what that guy had really done to me before. I told the dentist I could never come back and he said OK. Did I do the right thing? -- Memories Hurt More Than My Tooth, North End
Dear Memories: Even if you had the assurance that the dentist's receptionist would never book you two at the same time again, you would be anxious about going to that office again. You need your own dentist, so what you did was right. Also, the dentist doesn't need a person in his office who is already scared witless because of who she might meet again in the waiting room. That's probably why he just said OK. For all concerned, it is best for exes who are not friendly to get separate doctors, dentists, lawyers, accountants, mechanics, realtors, you name it. That goes double if there has been any kind of abuse, and seeing the abusive ex again would be traumatic.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: This is in response to the guy who wrote about "yummy mummies" and guys not wanting to commit to anything. Have the women ever thought of the cost of divorce on the side of the man? It crushes us from all sides. It is interesting to note that 66 per cent of all divorces are initiated by woman today (what are they looking for?). The gentlemen is 100 per cent correct in saying women want to be equal, but only when it suits them. On the first and following dates they are expecting the man to pay (children or not). And please do not tell me women are willing to go half and half. They may say that but you will not get past a first date if you suggest that. -- Been on Those Dates, Winnipeg
Dear Been On Those Dates: What do you want, then? Men are always asking, "What do women want these days?" Well, what do divorced men want from yummy mummies, those attractive divorced moms with children? Sex with no strings attached and each person pays half? Sounds pretty cold. Anybody who has figured out the answer to this difficult dating situation, please write in.

Research projects for 2015
Professor Gianluca Gregori
High Energy Density Laboratory Astrophysics - Scaling the Cosmos to the Laboratory
We are looking for DPhil experimental/theoretical positions to study and simulate in the laboratory extreme astrophysical conditions. The research is focussed on the following themes:
1. Investigation of the equation of state of ultra dense matter as the one occurring in the core of giant planets (such as Jupiter and many exoplanets). The experimental work involves using high power laser facilities to compress the matter to densities above solid and then applying x-ray techniques to probe its microscopic state. Interested students can also focus their work onto theoretical topics involving strongly coupled and partially degenerate plasmas - which are particularly relevant for describing white dwarf structure.
2. The understanding of the generation and amplification of magnetic fields in the Universe. We are particularly interested at the role of turbulence (and dynamo) in producing the present day values of magnetic fields in cluster of galaxies. Experiments on large laser facilities are planned in order to simulate in the laboratory intra-cluster turbulence and measure the resultant magnetic field generation and amplification by dynamo.
3. Quantum gravity with high power lasers. The idea is to use high intensity lasers to drive electrons to very high accelerations and then observe effects connected to the Unhruh-Hawking radiation. The ideal candidate is expected to work in defining the required experimental parameters and the proposal for a future experiment.
Our group has access to several laser facilities (including the National Ignition Facility, the largest laser system in the world). Students will also have access to a laser laboratory on campus (currently hosting the largest laser system in the department), where initial experiments can be fielded. Further details can be found by browsing our research web-page http://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/users/gregorig/
Prospective candidates are encouraged to contact Prof Gregori for further information.

1. Plasma accelerators
In a laser wakefield accelerator an intense laser pulse propagating through a plasma excites a trailing plasma wave via the action of the ponderomotive force, which acts to expel electrons from the region of the laser pulse. The longitudinal electric field in this plasma wakefield can be as high as 100 GV / m, more than three orders of magnitude larger than that found in conventional RF accelerators such as those used at CERN. Particles injected into the correct phase of the plasma wave can therefore be accelerated to energies of order 1 GeV in only a few tens of millimetres.
Theoretical and experimental work on plasma accelerators in Oxford is undertaken by a collaboration of research groups in the sub-departments of Particle Physics and Atomic & Laser Physics.
Please note that applications to work in this area should be made to the sub-department of Particle Physics, as explained at http://www2.physics.ox.ac.uk/research/laser-plasma-accelerators/recruitment this page also gives further information on DPhil projects which are available in this area.
2. Ultrafast lensless imaging with OPA-driven high-harmonic generation
An intense laser pulse interacting with the atoms or molecules of a gas can drive a highly nonlinear polarization which in turn generates coherent radiation at harmonics of the laser. This high-harmonic generation (HHG) process can generate ultrafast (in the attosecond range) pulses of radiation in the important soft x-ray spectral region, with potential applications in ultrafast imaging and in time-resolved science.
The efficiency of HHG is low unless steps are taken to phase-match or quasi-phase-match (QPM) the generation process. The wavelength of the driving laser is also important in determining the brightness and range of photon energies which can be generated. Our group has developed several techniques for QPM and demonstrated that these methods can increase the energy in the harmonic beam by more than an order of magnitude.
In this project we will use femtosecond optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs) to determine the optimum driving laser wavelength for generating x-rays of a given photon energy. We will also investigate a new QPM technique based on modulation of the polarization state of the driving laser in a birefringent waveguide.
The bright x-ray beams generated by these methods will be used for coherent diffraction imaging. This method images objects without conventional optics (which are not available at these wavelengths); it does so by recording the intensity diffraction pattern of the object and using sophisticated algorithms to overcome the "phase-retrieval problem" to deduce the object. Using a wavelength-tunable x-ray source we will seek to image specific elements in a sample, and as a test of these ideas we will the size and shape of particles formed in precipitation-strengthened Al alloy.
This work will be supported by a 4-year research programme funded by EPSRC.

Quantum Computing with Trapped Ions, Lasers and Microwaves
Quantum computers offer the prospect of dramatic increases in information processing power, but this potential will only be realized if the qubits which hold the quantum information can be manipulated sufficiently precisely, and if the system can be scaled up to larger numbers of qubits. At Oxford, we have this year reported the best qubit in the world, consisting of a single ion held in a microfabricated "chip trap". The qubit has a coherence time of nearly one minute, its quantum state can be prepared and read out with a fidelity of over 99.9%, and we can perform single-qubit quantum logic gates with an average fidelity measured to be 99.9999%. The key to achieving these results, which now define the state of the art, was the use of microwave techniques: the ion trap itself is a novel design, being the first to incorporate on-board microwave circuitry, and is built using a technology which is in principle scalable to much larger numbers of qubits. In related experiments we have recently demonstrated the highest-fidelity (99.9%) two-qubit quantum logic gate in the world, implemented using laser manipulation of the same type of qubit (hyperfine ground states in calcium-43 ions). Together, these results represent the first demonstration, in any physical system, of all fundamental qubit operations with sufficient fidelity for fault-tolerant quantum computing. We plan to scale our systems up to larger numbers of qubits by interfacing trapped-ion qubits using photonic qubits. We are looking for one or two highly motivated first-class students to join these world-leading projects.

Tensor network theory (TNT) provides efficient and highly accurate methods for simulating many-body quantum systems, which cannot be represented exactly for all but the smallest systems due to the exponential growth of the number of parameters required with system size. The many-body wave function, and the operators that act on them, are represented as a network of tensors (multi-dimensional arrays of numbers) which is manipulated by performing a series of tensor manipulations such as reshaping, contracting and factorising. This computational/numerical DPhil project focusses on developing new algorithms for treating two-dimensional systems that utilise TNT, and will be added to the existing TNT software library. This high-performance library has been developed in our group for the last two years, and already has many users. The project will provide algorithms that are the first of their kind freely available as part of a software library, and will be used not only by members of our group, but research groups throughout the UK. The code is being developed in C, with OpenMP and MPI also being used to implement a hierarchical parallelisation scheme. The DPhil student will collaborate with members of our group to design routines that can be used by them to solve physics problems. The student will also have the chance to work with scientific software engineering experts who provide us with advice on producing high-quality sustainable software and on optimising our codes for running on large–scale supercomputers, such as the national supercomputing cluster ARCHER.
2) Optically steering, manipulating and cooling strongly correlated electron systems
In the past decade there have been pioneering experiments which have shown how laser light can manipulate, measure and selectively cool not only atoms or ions, but also single modes in macroscopic opto-mechanical devices. A major long-term aim in our group, in collaboration with Prof. Andrea Cavalleri Oxford/Hamburg experimental group, is to apply these techniques to strongly correlated electron systems such as Mott insulators and cuprate superconductors. Broadly this work plans to identify and realize "hidden" phases of materials, that are metastable out-of-equilibrium states which only exist while the system is driven. A key example of this would be to devise techniques to engineer the coupling of a stacked cuprate material to a surrounding cavity so that emissions into the cavity mode result in the cooling of superconducting phase fluctuations. These phase fluctuations are thought to be responsible for the transition to a non-superconducting state, thus even moderate cooling of this specific degree of freedom, as opposed to the entire material, may provide a novel route to stabilizing superconductivity above its critical temperature.
This theory DPhil project will work towards this grand challenge by investigating in detail the interaction between various strongly correlated electron systems and light both in and out of a cavity. Regimes of moderate and strong coupling to desired degrees of freedom, such as superconducting order parameter for stacks of Josephson junctions, will be determined. Various approaches will be pursued, such as using the cavity to perform continuous weak measurements to steer the state of the system, or strongly driving structural modes of the material to dynamically modulate its electronic properties. Combinations of phenomenological, mean-field, and numerical techniques will be applied to characterise the response of the system. Insight from these studies should lay the foundations for gauging the physical parameter space in which techniques for phase cooling are possible, and to what extent.
3) Quantum probes of quantum systems, impurities in cold atomic gases
Researchers in many areas have recently separately considered extracting information about a quantum system by bringing it temporarily and coherently into contact with another smaller quantum system, a probe, which is then measured. This has several advantages over traditional methods for measuring properties of a quantum system: It has the potential to be non-destructive; the potential to exploit entanglement and superposition of a perhaps spatially-extended probe in order to extract information directly about complicated correlation functions; and can involve strong interactions and thus occur on smaller time-scales than, say, linear response, and measure non-equilibrium properties. This theoretical DPhil project focuses primarily on impurity atom probes of cold atomic gases, how they could be realised, what information could be extracted or new regimes probed, and the role such probes could play in current or near-future experiments (our theory group is in contact with the experimental groups of Chris Foot, Oxford, and Stefan Kuhr, Strathclyde). Initial avenues of exploration would include using a highly-trapped impurity atom (localised to a few nm rather than the μm resolution of light) to probe a cold atomic gas on length-scales at which mean-field descriptions break down and the corpuscular nature of the gas appears, or using multiple atomic probes to identify whether number conservation occurs in the Bose-Einstein condensation of an atomic gas. This collaborative project will build upon the numerical and analytical expertise of the group in describing the evolution of impurities in cold atom systems, giving the student a firm background in these methods specifically and the vast and exciting area of cold atom physics in general.

Laser-Plasma Interaction Physics for Inertial Fusion and Extreme Field Science
Intense lasers have extraordinary properties. They can deliver enormous energy densities to target, creating states of matter in the laboratory that are otherwise only found in exotic astrophysical phenomena, such as the interiors of stars and planets, the atmospheres of white dwarfs and neutron stars, and in supernovae. The behaviour of matter under these extreme conditions of density and temperature is a fascinating area of study, not only for understanding of fundamental processes that are, in most cases, highly non-linear and often turbulent but also for their potential applications for other areas of the natural sciences. These include the development of:
• Inertial confinement fusion - applications include energy generation and the transition to a carbon-free economy and the development of the brightest possible thermal source for neutron scattering science
• New high power optical and X-ray lasers using non-linear optical properties in plasma
• Novel particle accelerators via laser and beam-driven wakefields - including the AWAKE project at CERN, as a potential route for a TeV e-e+ collider
• Unique ultra-bright X-ray sources
• New physics at the intensity frontier
The understanding of these physical processes requires a combination of observation, experiment and high performance computing models on the latest supercomputers. My team is versatile, combining experiment, theory and computational modelling. I can offer projects in all of these areas – please contact me to discuss your interests and let's take it from there.

1) D.Phil. in quantum memory and photonic applications
We invite applications from first-class students to join our group in Oxford for a D.Phil project on quantum memory, to start in 2014 (start date negotiable), supervised jointly by Joshua Nunn and Ian Walmsley.
The Ultrafast Group in Oxford has pioneered a GHz bandwidth optical memory in cesium vapour based on Raman scattering, with a world-leading time-bandwidth product exceeding 3000. Memories of this kind are a key component of future quantum technologies. The next steps in our research are to demonstrate single-photon operation, which requires engineering the density of scattering states to suppress noise and boost the memory efficiency. We are also working on an integrated memory in hollow-core optical fibre. In this project, the student will combine these ideas and develop a broadband quantum-capable integrated memory in the first two years of work. This will then be applied to the synchronisation of photon sources, or other photonic primitives, in the final year. The project is focussed on enabling the next generation of quantum photonic processors by synchronisation. The student will gain experimental skills in quantum optics, fibre optic and waveguide design, optical cavities, non-linear optics and atomic physics, as well as theoretical modelling of coherent light-matter interactions and quantum networks. There is also considerable opportunity for collaboration with other teams in the group working on integrated photonic circuits and advanced photodetection, and with other research groups both nationally (Southampton; Imperial) and internationally (Paderborn, Germany; NIST, USA), which are jointly funded.

2) D.Phil. in diamond photonics with NV ensembles
We invite applications from first-class students to join our group in Oxford for a D.Phil project on diamond photonics, to start in 2014 (start date negotiable), supervised jointly by Joshua Nunn and Ian Walmsley.
Quantum information processing using light offers radical new technologies such as super-fast quantum computers and super-secure quantum communication. But a key stumbling block is the ability to engineer strong light-matter interactions. These are required both to mediate photonic logic gates, and to enable the efficient storage and switching of photonic wavepackets to form a scalable architecture. Our group has developed one of the world's leading quantum memories based on Raman scattering in an atomic vapour. We are now investigating ways to integrate this memory inside a solid medium. In this project, the student will design an implementation of the memory based on the Raman interaction in an ensemble of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defect centres in diamond, and build an experiment to demonstrate this solid state Raman memory. Looking further ahead, the same Raman interaction could be used to generate heralded, near-deterministic non-linearities at the single photon level based on Stokes scattering followed by measurement-induced quantum back-action. These research tasks are open-ended but the demonstration of a broadband light-matter interface in the solid state will be a transformative step forward in quantum photonics that will have a broad impact on the community. The student will have the opportunity to participate in active collaborations with Steven Prawer in Melbourne (fabrication) and Gerard Milburn in Brisbane (theory).

1) Quantum memories and light-matter interactions with atomic and atom-like ensembles
The Oxford Memories Group have developed a unique platform for the quantum-coherent storage of light pulses. This is a key enabling technology for scalable photonic information processing: wide-area quantum communications, quantum enhanced sensing, and all-optical quantum computing. We are developing integrated memories based on cesium vapour in micro-cavities and hollow-core fibres, along with combined storage / non-linear switches in Rydberg atoms, and diamond (both NV and SiV colour centres).
We invite applications from excellent undergraduate students with an interest in quantum information science and the experimental skills to bring these nascent technologies to maturity. The flexibility to apply design principles across several platforms will be an advantage.
This work will be closely affiliated with the UK Quantum Technologies Network, a national government programme focussed on bringing quantum technologies to market.

2) Quantum transport
This project is focussed on the exploration of noise-assisted energy transport in quantum networks, and related phenomena. We are currently constructing an optical simulator based on a network of coupled optical cavities. Initial experiments will leverage the formal equivalence between single-particle quantum transport in e.g. bio-molecules, and classical interference in optical systems, to study the efficiency of diffusive and ballistic transport in the presence of controlled noise, disorder and network topology. But the project is open-ended. Extensions with non-classical (anti-bunched) input fields and non-linear (Kerr) elements may be explored, which will provide a platform to study transport physics beyond the single-particle regime. Networks involving active optical switching or atomic memories may also be explored. Finally, ultrafast non-linear optical scattering experiments may also be employed to directly study de-localised transport in molecular systems.
We invite applications from excellent undergraduate students with an interest in quantum information and/or quantum biology, and an experimental background in either quantum or non-linear optics.
This work will be closely affiliated with the Oxford Martin Programme on Bio-Inspired Quantum Technologies ( http://www.oxfordmartin.ox.ac.uk/research/programmes/quantum).

X-ray Interactions with Matter on X-ray Free Electron Light Sources
Over the past few years there has been a revolution in X-ray science: the advent of the world's first hard X-ray free electron laser (FEL), the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) in California, in one step in 2009 increased the spectral brightness of X-ray sources over that of any synchrotron by a factor of a billion. Spatially coherent, monochromatic, femtosecond X-ray pulses can now be routinely produced over a wide spectral range, accessing the spatial and temporal scales of atomic processes simultaneously for the first time. When focused to micron-sized spots, the unique characteristics of X-ray and XUV FELs provide a range of new opportunities to generate and study matter in extreme conditions with unprecedented accuracy and control, at temperatures of several millions of degrees Celsius and at atomic densities of order 1023 per cm3 and above. Such conditions are interesting as they are found towards the interior of stars and in other astrophysical objects, but are also directly relevant to inertial confinement fusion research. Focused FEL beams also show great promise to be used as a type of "giant microscope": to look at chemistry and biological processes in real time, and to image in 3D tiny nano-crystals, protein molecules, and viruses. These objects are either too small or their processes too fast to be investigated via current techniques, but could be accessed using coherent X-ray diffraction imaging on FELs. For this novel technique to be truly valuable, however, the full information required must be collected before the ultra-high intensity of the FEL turns the sample into a hot-dense plasma, and obliterates it. The way in which this process takes place is however still relatively poorly understood. For these reasons, our research focuses on understanding the fundamental X-ray-matter interaction process that leads to the creation of hot dense plasmas, and on studying their structure, dynamics and evolution in time.
One or two research projects will be made available to start in October 2015, for students interested in experimental and/or theoretical work on X-ray matter interactions and dense plasmas. On the experimental side, the work will be conducted as part of an international collaboration on key FEL facilities: the LCLS FEL at Stanford in California, the FERMI FEL in Trieste, Italy, and the FLASH FEL in Hamburg, Germany. On the theoretical and computational side, the work will combine a range of techniques such as collisional-radiative simulations and first-principle density functional theory studies of strongly-coupled systems, all at the cutting edge of our current modelling capabilities of these extreme conditions.

Studying High Pressure Matter with X-Ray Lasers
An opportunity exists for a DPhil project in the Physics Department at the University of Oxford to use the brightest X-ray source on the planet to study the response of matter to pressures normally only found towards the centre of planets. The student will work under the supervision of Professor Justin Wark in the sub-department of Atomic and Laser Physics. The project, funded by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, will entail both an experimental and theoretical study of matter under extreme conditions. On the experimental side, the student will use intense optical lasers to subject matter to many millions of atmospheres for timescales in the sub-nanosecond regime. In conjunction, the most intense x-ray laser on earth - the Linac Coherent Light Source at SLAC, will be used to obtain few-femtosecond single-shot diffraction images as the matter deforms or forms new phases. The experiments will be complemented by both classical molecular dynamics simulations, and by ab initio density functional theory calculations. The work builds on previous successful research recently published at the highest level (Science, 342, 220 [2013]). Full funding exists (fees and stipend) for successful UK or EU candidates for a period of 3.5 years. Interested candidates should have a upper-second or first class degree (or equivalent) in Physics, be interested in both experimental and theoretical physics, and be willing to spend some short periods in the US for experiments and collaborations. Enquiries can be made to Professor Justin Wark.

Published January 5, 2011
Hendrick Motorsports has retained Ray Evernham as a consultant in a deal that "will not allow Evernham to remain an analyst for ESPN's NASCAR coverage." Evernham said, "I have had a great relationship with ESPN. If there was any way I could have worked that out I would have loved to do it. That was one of the hardest things about making the decision." ESPN VP/Motorsports Rich Feinberg: "Ray has been a valuable member of our NASCAR team for the past three seasons and we wish him all the best in his new role. If he ever wants to come back, we'd be happy to talk to him" (ESPN.com, 1/4).
HARD TO REPLACE A LEGEND: In Tacoma, Larry Larue reports the Mariners for '11 are considering "filling the airwaves with the presence of former players and broadcasters on a rotating basis, rather than hiring one voice" to succeed Larry Niehaus, who passed away in November. Mariners VP/Communications Randy Adamack said, "There's a line of thought that we could make 2011 a transitional season for our fans." Adamack and other team execs in the next few days "will sit down again with television and radio producers from the Mariners' flagship stations and discuss the options for the upcoming season." Broadcasters Rick Rizzs, Dave Sims and Mike Blowers are all under contract for '11 (Tacoma NEWS TRIBUNE, 1/5).
SWIMSUIT MODEL: SI has struck a new licensing and distribution deal with Sony to develop 3D TV video based on the upcoming '11 Swimsuit issue. The 3D video will be exclusively distributed for rental or purchase on the PlayStation Network video delivery service through the PlayStation 3 console, as well as on the Qriocity VOD service available through connected, late-model Sony Bravia 3D TVs and Blu-Ray players. A 2D version of the Swimsuit video content will also be distributed through the same channels. The 3D content will premiere Feb. 15, the scheduled launch day for the '11 Swimsuit issue. The agreement builds upon a prior pact in which Sony last year also distributed 2D Swimsuit video content through the PlayStation Network (Eric Fisher, SportsBusiness Journal).

Future of Nursing Initiative
In November 1971, Nursing's first issue rolled off the presses-a skinny 36-page magazine with no advertising and a scant 6,000 subscribers. The newcomer's motto was "All things change, and we must change with them."
The skinny magazine was a hit. And as the circulation grew by leaps and bounds, nurses started writing in to share their opinions about the journal, patient care, and the nursing profession. The following letters, excerpted from the journal's first two years, provide a fascinating look at nursing 40 years ago and illustrate how far we've come-and how some things never change.
Because research has shown the dangers of restraining patients, we now use restraints (including side rails) only as a last resort in limited circumstances. Forty years ago, however, the facts weren't so clear.
"May I say in answer to those who think it is so terrible that patients are restrained in their beds or wheelchairs that is it for their own protection. Many old people will stay in bed if the side rails are up but some will not. Is it not better to restrain them than to have them fall or wander about disturbing other patients? ... As a rule it is the confused or senile patient who is restrained. In these cases, memory is short. Once the restraints are removed, they are quickly forgotten."-RN, Louisiana, October 1972
In the early days, the editors struggled to find a balance between too basic and too advanced. When they missed the mark, they heard about it.
"I have never before completely read a nursing magazine from cover to cover-and yours had so many new and exciting ideas and articles that it was impossible to put down."
-RN, California, February 1972
"I am thoroughly disappointed with your magazine. The article on intravenous administration seemed geared to a first-year nursing student. I can't imagine a working nurse knowing less than the magazine implied. I hope that your magazine shapes up."
-RN, Virginia, June 1972
The controversy over entry-level education was hot 40 years ago too. One reader decried the "haggling over RNs, college graduate RNs, LPNs, and aides," and commented on unrealistic expectations for nurses with college degrees.
"It can be very traumatic to be thrown into a situation and, just because one is a college graduate, be expected to handle it. I think it can frighten a girl so badly she retreats behind a desk and lets anyone take over-or else flaunts her degree around in self-defense."
-RN, Pennsylvania, April 1972
Today, nurses expect to obtain continuing education throughout their professional careers. In an earlier era, this view wasn't universal. Responding to proposed legislation to require continuing education credits as a condition for license renewal in her state, one nurse had this to say.
"Legislators, and apparently some of our fellow RNs, cannot seem to understand that further schooling is impossible for many RNs who are working steadily to support a family ... A diploma school education is a thorough education. We experienced RNs are proud of it and no amount of college degrees will improve our abilities to work with and help our patients.... [I]f such a law is passed, then the already graduated practicing RNs should be exempt."
-RN, New York, May 1973
From the beginning, LPNs and LVNs were enthusiastic members of Nursing's readership.
"There are places where the word 'nurse' is used to mean RN only, and I am referred to as 'just an LPN.' The job description for LPNs has changed over the past 16 years, however. I know because I have worked across the USA in many hospitals. The gap is closing."
-LPN, Indiana, May 1973
"The subject matter in your magazine is excellent and to the point-and you give the LPN a fair shake."
-LPN, Montana, October 1973
In the early 1970s, female nurses wore caps and male nurses were scarce. Gender stereotypes were still firmly entrenched to the detriment of men and women alike. The letter excerpted below from a female RN generated a witty response from a male colleague several months later.
"Not only have nurses been playing handmaiden to doctors for years, but every male nurse who comes along is automatically advanced to the top of the heap. It is taken for granted that he is superior and, therefore, should be put in charge of female nurses. Not so!!"
-RN, California, November 1972
"It would be comforting indeed to be able to affirm that all male nurses are superior and should be put in charge of their female colleagues. Anyone acquainted with the facts, however, knows that, as a group, male nurses exhibit the same range of abilities as female nurses."
-RN, Ontario, March 1973
Although peer-reviewed from the beginning, Nursing didn't initially publish references for articles but made them available upon request. The editors made this choice deliberately to emphasize the journal's practical, rather than scholarly, focus. In March 1972, a lengthy editorial note explaining the rationale for excluding references generated some lively responses.
"I feel that references are unnecessary. I would rarely, if ever, use them and if in need of the information would not find it too much to write for them. Let's not fill up the magazine with superfluous material."
-RN, Washington, D.C. May 1972
"I for one am very glad that you do not include references. I like Nursing '72 because it is readable and not so scientific minded that it is no practical good."
-RN, California, May 1972
"I would like to vote for references. I do use them and sometimes go to great lengths to pursue a reference I think might be helpful. I feel they are very important in gathering data, preparing teaching material, and so forth ... We need those references."
-RN, Missouri May 1972
"Concerning references-please leave them available on request, but out of the articles. The beauty of Nursing '72 is its 'streamlined readability.' Nursing, hopefully, has outgrown the dependence on medicine for 'the answer.' Educated, thinking nurse experts should certainly qualify to contribute to the profession in which they excel without cumbersome documentation. If they don't qualify, who does?"
-RN, Texas, July 1972
All things change, and so have we. Nursing began publishing references in 1979.

A priest and seminary student are at odds with each other in the St. Marks UCC production of Mass Appeal, which will open on Thursday.
All performances of Mass Appeal will take place at St. Marks United Church of Christ, located at 222 East Spring Street in New Albany, IN. Performances will take place on September 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17, 18, and 19 at 8 p.m. each night. Matinee shows, meanwhile, will occur on September 12 and 19 at 2 p.m. each day.
Tickets are $10 per person for the 13-and-over show. Reservations are required and can be made by calling 502-509-1114. More information can be found on this website.
In Bill C. Davis's Mass Appeal, Fr. Farley, an elder priest, and Mark Dolson, a younger seminarian, find themselves at odds both in personality and ideology. The two attempt to make good priests out of each other but soon find themselves learning more about the values of courage, love, and friendship.
J.R. Stuart directed the two-man production and also stars as Father Tim Farley. Aaron Johnson stars as Dolson.
A version of Mass Appeal opened at the Manhattan Theatre Club before spending 1981 and 1982 on Broadway at the Booth Theatre. The production won an Outer Critic's Circle Award. Mass Appeal also became a critcally-acclaimed movie with Jack Lemmon and Charles Durning.
