The Washington Square Harp and Shamrock Orchestra at New York University is led by Professor Mick Moloney. The Orchestra plays traditional Irish music with a focus on older tunes, tunes with New York City history, and tunes with fun stories attached. Members learn by ear from Prof. Mick Moloney, as well as NYU Ethnomusicology PhD candidates and other experienced musicians. The orchestra name is reminiscent of Irish-American dance bands of the early 1900s, such as Dan Sullivan s Shamrock Band, or Pat Roche s Harp and Shamrock Orchestra, or even Erin…

When you hail from one of the magnificent capital cities of New England, such as Boston or, in my case, Providence, Rhode Island, it’s sometimes a little hard to admit that there are worthy architectural landmarks anywhere else. But on a recent trip to Raleigh, North Carolina, I discovered what might be one of America s greatest examples of modern architecture: Dorton Arena, the former livestock pavilion at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds. Another view of Dorton Arena. William Morgan Although cattle-judging long ago moved to new quarters, Dorton…

… or as I call them, my “current favorite websites”, but let’s not split hairs. After exhaustive research ( a.k.a. my internet explorer history ) and peer feedback (I sent some emails, reviewed suggestions in the comment area, and asked the people in my office) I have created the definitive listing of the Best Architectural Websites in the World for 2015. I will admit that this list is completely biased because what I like might not be what you like (even though it should be, let’s be honest). I don’t read as many websites as I once did so this…

One of the most baffling questions facing a generation of physicists is what happens to the information about the physical state of things that are swallowed up by black holes? Is it destroyed, as our understanding of general relativity would predict? If so, that would violate the laws of quantum mechanics. Today at the Hawking Radiation conference, Hawking presented his latest idea about how this paradox can be solved — that is, how information is preserved even if it s sucked into a black hole. Hawking is in town for the weeklong conference, which…

UK’s College of Arts and Sciences will lay off at least 30 staffers in the next few weeks to solve a $4 million deficit in the fiscal year that ends June 30. The shortage has nothing to do with upcoming state budget cuts, official said. Instead, it happened when contracts from foreign governments — including Saudi Arabia, Oman, Brazil and Ecuador — to teach their students English as a second language dried up unexpectedly. Lisa Wilson, associate provost for finance and operations, said that unlike most federal grants, the contract money was not…
