... The night sky observatory supports the versatile ARC 3.5-m telescope which studies a variety of astronomical objects using synoptic programs requiring many short observations over long periods, as well as responding quickly to targets of opportunity; and, the Sloan Foundation 2.5-m telescope which continues its internationally-recognized survey programs by exploring dark energy, the dynamics and evolution of the Milky Way Galaxy, and the architecture of planetary systems. ...

... Cost­E#ective System Management Skip Schaller Steward Observatory, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721 Abstract. Quality system management of computer workstations for as­ tronomy can be achieved with relatively small manpower requirements, if the right cost­e#ective administrative design decisions are made. ... The system is designed so that one doesn't depend on four or more hosts, (such as a software server, cpu server, data file server, font server, etc.) to get work done. ...

There are a lot of traditions connected with Christmas but perhaps the most important one is the giving of presents. ... Children leave a long sock or stocking at the end of their bed on Christmas Eve, December 24th, hoping that Father Christmas will come down the chimney during the night and bring them small presents, fruits and nuts. Not all Christmas traditions are old. The first Christmas card was made only in 1842 by an English painter who sent that card to one hundred of his friends. ...
