17 December 2014 Dear Participants: It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 11th topical physics conference in the “Miami” series --- a meeting that begins a sixth decade of physics conferences held in south Florida. I hope you find the conference to be enjoyable as well as informative, and I thank all of you for your enthusiastic participation in these meetings, especially those of you who willingly share your research in formal talks and private discussions. You are the conference. Before the current series began in December 2004, the “Coral Gables conferences” were organized by University of Miami faculty, especially Behram Kursunoglu, from January 1964 to December 2003, often assisted by many faculty from other institutions, including some among this year’s participants. In particular, Sydney Meshkov and/or Arnold Perlmutter have attended all of these meetings since they began over 50 years ago. It seems fair to say that their presence is a “tradition” for these conferences. It is also traditional for these meetings to try to accommodate all requests to speak without having parallel sessions. Once again that will be the case. But another previous tradition will be broken this year. The conference program will not be printed and distributed in a binder, as it has been in the past. This year the program will only be available, in its entirety, online. Go to: https://cgc.physics.miami.edu/Miami2014.html If you have any special requirements for your talk, or if you have any questions that the hotel staff cannot answer, please ask any member of the organizing committee. The local members of that committee are:

Jo Ann Curtright (cell phone number 786-200-1480), Thomas Curtright (cell phone number 305-793-4637),

Luca Mezincescu (cell phone number 305-905-2864), as well as Diego Castano, Stephan Mintz, and Arnold Perlmutter. Our best wishes for a successful meeting. Sincerely,

Thomas Curtright (for the conference organizers)
