For Cycle 9 the Science Program Selection Office (SPSO) has changed the selection process to ensure that HST will continue to perform the best possible science with the best return for the astronomical community. This report summarizes the changes to the selection process and offers suggestions on writing an effective proposal that accounts for these changes. ... Fewer panels: With more orbits to allocate, each panel will have more flexibility, especially to approve the somewhat larger proposals. ...

... 09.11.2007 (VNY) Fixed a bug that could result in a crash of the task when processing crowded fields (SSC-SPR-3700); Restoring the omgsource flag when extracting the target spectrum: in the case when omgrism is called from the interactive tool omgsource the target spectrum shouldn't be extracted (fixing the SSC-SPR-3702); Added a parameter enabling the output of an additional region file that contains newly detected point-like sources (zero-order features); . ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... I think I will break from my usual format of Bad Astronomy/ Good Astronomy by saying that the way we define seasons currently is not strictly bad, but I feel (in my opinion!) that it could be better. The definition of when the seasons begin is at the moment of solstice or equinox; that is, winter (in the north) starts on December 22 nd and summer starts on June 22 nd . ... Now imagine breaking up the Sun's 46 degree up-and-down yearly swing into 1 day intervals. ...

... This article is part of the LWN Porting Drivers to 2.6 series . This article serves as a sort of final resting place for various small changes in the kernel programming API which do not fit elsewhere. The kdev_t type has been removed from the kernel; everything which works with device numbers should now use the dev_t type. ... Consider using these while fixing your code; the next time the type of i_rdev changes, you will be happier. ... Driver porting: miscellaneous changes, designated inits . ...
