The James Webb Space Telescope
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large (6.6m), cold (50K),
infrared-optimized space observatory that will be launched early in the next
decade. The observatory will have four instruments: a near-infrared camera, a
near-infrared multi-object spectrograph, and a tunable filter imager will cover
the wavelength range, 0.6 to 5.0 microns, while the mid-infrared instrument
will do both imaging and spectroscopy from 5.0 to 29 microns. The JWST science
goals are divided into four themes. The End of the Dark Ages: First Light and
Reionization theme seeks to identify the first luminous sources to form and to
determine the ionization history of the early universe. The Assembly of
Galaxies theme seeks to determine how galaxies and the dark matter, gas, stars,
metals, morphological structures, and active nuclei within them evolved from
the epoch of reionization to the present day. The Birth of Stars and
Protoplanetary Systems theme seeks to unravel the birth and early evolution of
stars, from infall on to dust-enshrouded protostars to the genesis of planetary
systems. The Planetary Systems and the Origins of Life theme seeks to determine
the physical and chemical properties of planetary systems including our own,
and investigate the potential for the origins of life in those systems. To
enable these observations, JWST consists of a telescope, an instrument package,
a spacecraft and a sunshield. The telescope consists of 18 beryllium segments,
some of which are deployed. The segments will be brought into optical alignment
on-orbit through a process of periodic wavefront sensing and control. The JWST
operations plan is based on that used for previous space observatories, and the
majority of JWST observing time will be allocated to the international
astronomical community through annual peer-reviewed proposal opportunities.Comment: 96 pages, including 48 figures and 15 tables, accepted by Space

Information Regulation of the Internet
Color poster with text and graphs.The Internet is the single largest source of information in the world. Compared to other media, very few restrictions have ever been placed on it as a medium or on the content it contains. Recently, some legislators in the United States, as well as policymakers in international organizations, have tried to pass several different laws and treaties that are at the heart of this issue. The first issue is the proposed United States House bill called the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). The goals of SOPA are to protect intellectual property and to protect against counterfeit medications. The second issue is the proposed United States Senate bill called the Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act (PROTECT IP Act, or PIPA). The goals of PIPA are to halt distribution of illegally copied or counterfeited intellectual property. This study expands on differing viewpoints of students at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire surrounding this control of information on the Internet in relation to these legal issues.University of Wisconsin--Eau Claire Office of Research and Sponsored Programs
