Murder on the Set
In 1932 motion pictures were still a very new and popular attraction. The first movies were very short and shown in the nickelodeons, and it was barely twenty years since the first movies were shown in regular theaters. This mystery whodunit was unusual for several reasons. The cast included many actors who would become very familiar in later years, the plot screenplay is unusually well written for the time, and most important, this movie uncovers the 'behind the scenes' activities of movie studios to the general public for the first time. Today we have seen many stories focused on the Hollywood motion picture process, but in 1932 this was an exciting new peek at the making of motion pictures.
As our movie opens, we see a beautiful lady in a car with several gangsters, and she promises to identify the man that they want to kill by giving him a kiss. . . . . A Death Kiss. She exits the car and enters a café lobby, kissing an apparent stranger on the lips with a sultry and sizzling kiss.
As the man heads for the street, he is gunned down and lies dead on the sidewalk. Then the camera pans to the right and we see the director and a handful of technicians, lights, and camera, and discover that we are on the set of a movie being shot in Hollywood. But when the star, who has just been gunned down in this scene fails to get up, we find that the man was actually shot and killed by someone . . .
Actress Marcia Lane, played by Adrienne Ames, is not only the co-star of the movie but the dead leading man's recently divorced wife, and all of the clues for his death, and later the death of the first suspect, point neatly to her.
Bela Lugosi is Joseph Steinor, the studio manager, and we all know that he was seldom a good guy. Could it have been him? Probably not - too easy. John Wray is the obligatory cop who is always one step behind our amateur detective.
Our hero is Franklyn Drew, a screenwriter that writes mystery stories, and is interested in discovering how and why and who killed the leading man. He also has a love interest in the beautiful actress Marcia Lane, and as each clue points to her, he works even harder to prove her innocence. Pop a big bowl of white kernel popcorn with plenty of warm melted butter drizzled over it and enjoy the show.

Belarusian pro-democracy activists, including Syarhey Tsikhanouski, sentenced to prison
Dec. 14 (UPI) — Six activists considered political prisoners by rights groups were convicted and sentenced Tuesday to as long as 18 years in prison in a Belarus court.
Among them was Syarhey Tsikhanouski, a popular blogger and the husband of exiled opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya. He was sentenced to 18 years in prison.
The other activists drew 14- to 16-year prison sentences, confirmed by the regional court in the city of Gomel, The New York Times reported.
They were arrested in a crackdown on the pro-democracy movement by Belarusian security officials prior to the August 2020 presidential election.
Tsikhanouski turned his back on the judge as the sentences were being read. According to a courtroom witness, he later shouted "Long Live Belarus!"
The others sentenced were Mikalai Statkevich, Ihar Losik, Artsyom Sakau, Uladzimir Tsyganovich and Dmitry Popov.
Siarhei Tsikhanouski was sentenced to 18 years in prison, Artsiom Sakau & Dzmitry Papou to 16, Ihar Losik & Uladzimir Tsyhanovich to 15, Mikalai Statkevich to 14. The very existence of these people is a crime for the regime. They're repressed for the wish to live in free Belarus. pic.twitter.com/UuL9Fx2IAe— Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya (@Tsihanouskaya) December 14, 2021
The charges included organizing mass unrest and inciting social hatred as they politically challenged the authoritarian Lukashenko regime.
The U.S. State Department has called Alexander Lukashenko's election a fraud and sanctioned 44 individuals and entities that support the regime.
On Tuesday, Amnesty International said the politically motivated case against the activists resulted in a "scathing sentence" for Tsikhanouski.
Marie Struthers, AI's director for Eastern Europe and Central Asia, said, "Syarhei Tsikhanouski's case is emblematic of the repression unleashed by the Belarusian government against its own people. He was arrested on trumped-up riot charges just weeks after announcing his intention to run for the presidency."
Tikhanouskaya ran for election in his place but was forced to leave Belarus after being harassed and intimidated by the authorities.
"This is today's Belarus, where those who wish to oppose the authorities face a terrible choice between languishing in prison or leaving their homeland," Struthers said.
Tikhanouskaya visited Washington, D.C., in July, seeking U.S. pressure on Lukashenko.
Earlier this month, the United States joined Canada, the United Kingdom and the European Union in enacting new sanctions against Belarus for ongoing human rights abuses and inhumane exploitation of vulnerable people related to a migrant crisis at the border with Poland.

Sgt. Austin Milbourn was performing traffic control in the area of SH 154 and FM 1483 in the
Yantis area after a large tree fell across the roadway as a result of recent storms. During the
traffic control, a vehicle traveling at highway speed had to abruptly stop to avoid hitting
emergency vehicles (with lights activated) parked at the scene. Milbourn made contact with the
car's driver and noted he had bloodshot, glassy eyes. There was also an odor of marijuana
emitting from the car. The driver admitted to drinking and smoking and when asked, admitted
there was marijuana inside the vehicle. Field sobriety tests were administered which resulted in
the driver's arrest. The vehicle was released to the female passenger. Dustin Santizo Samoyoa,
20, of Tyler was cited for Driving Under the Influence-minor and was jailed on a charge of
possession of marijuana, less than two ounces.
Deputy Jon Ritterbach took a report of a dog bite that occurred at a residence on CR 2100. A 65
year old man sustained damage to his nose, mouth and chin. The man was at the residence to

the man's face with his teeth. The man received treatment at the hospital. The dog was found to
be current on its rabies vaccination and will home quarantine for 10 days.

damage to his truck. Upon asking what happened to his truck, the male suspect asked the woman
to leave but took her phone and purse. An altercation ensued during which the woman was
placed in a chokehold. The woman also suffered a deep laceration on her arm. The woman
declined EMS but stated she did wish to pursue charges in the matter. Attempts to locate the
suspect were unsuccessful. The woman relocated to her son's house for the night.

Deputy Linda Williams was dispatched to CR 1750 in reference to a report of animal cruelty.
The report was regarding 5 horses. Williams located the horses and noted that one of them

food and water accessible to them. Speaking with the horses' owner, Deputy Williams learned
the older horse struggled with digestive problems and was vetted regularly. An incident report
was completed and this case was closed.
Deputy Linda Williams took a report of Criminal Mischief in the Yantis area. The Blue Ice
Machine, located at the intersection of FM 515 and FM 17, had been defaced. Unknown

on their landlord's property. The driver was arrested after he made threatening comments to the
property owner. Randy Carl Potter, 27, of Mineola was charged with assault by threat. He was
transported to jail without incident.
Deputy Dustin Green took a report of theft from a resident of Holiday Villages. The man stated
things have been coming up missing at his house for the past two weeks. The stolen items
include cash, fishing equipment, and tools. This case was forwarded to an investigator.
Deputy Jon Ritterbach was dispatched to a residence on CR 4510 in the Winnsboro area in
reference to a disturbance. The reporting party stated she was in the process of moving out of her
boyfriend's parent's house when an argument ensued over her asking the boyfriend for money to
buy diapers for their child. The boyfriend became enraged and put a 4' piece of PVC pipe
through the woman's car's window. The woman also claimed to have been held down on the bed
and choked during the melee. Despite her claim, the woman refused to complete paperwork in
the Family Violence Packet, stating she did not want the man to go to jail. She also recanted her
story of him putting his hands around her neck. The woman's family arrived and helped her
move her belongings. This case has been forwarded to investigations for further review.
Deputy Jon Ritterbach took a report of theft of fencing material from a resident of CR 3580.
Approximately 110'-130' of fencing material had been taken. Information was provided to the
deputy regarding the description of a suspect vehicle as well as the occupants of said vehicle.
This case has been forwarded to investigations and remains open.
Deputy Jonah Croney took a report of a dog bite that occurred on CR 3940 in the Hawkins area.
A five year old male child sustained bite injuries to his cheek. The mother reported he had been
playing with a Chow on the back patio when he pulled the dog's tail causing the dog to bite.
Unable to provide proof of rabies vaccination, the parents were issued a citation for failure to
vaccinate. The dog will be home quarantined for 10 days.
Deputy Jonah Croney was dispatched to the FM 49 area of Mineola for loose livestock. A horse
had escaped its pen and was in a neighbor's back yard. While Croney attempted to locate an
open gate, the horse managed to get to FM 49 and continued to the corner of FM 49 and FM 312
where it entered the substation yard. The horse was retrieved by a roper and transported to the
Winnsboro Sale Barn.
Just before 1:00 a.m., Deputy Dustin Green initiated a traffic stop after observing a vehicle fail to
signal a turn. During a consensual search of the driver, Green found a round black container
which contained suspected methamphetamine. The driver was taken into custody and a probable
cause search of his vehicle was completed. Drug paraphernalia was found. Clifford Alan Plant,
61, of Winnsboro was charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance, Penalty Group 1, one
gram or more but less than four grams.
Just before 1:30 a.m., Deputy David Tipps initiated a traffic stop after observing a vehicle with
an expired temporary tag and a defective brake lamp showing white light to the rear. The driver
was found to have no valid driver's license. He was placed under arrest and a wrecker was
dispatched for the car. During an inventory of the vehicle, prior to its removal, a pill container
was located which was found to contain suspected methamphetamine. Also located was a glass
pipe with suspected meth residue. James Mancini McEntire, 51, of Hawkins was arrested and
charged with Possession of Controlled substance, Penalty Group 1, less than one gram. A verbal
warning was given for the initial violation.
Deputy Andrew Rapp was dispatched to the Budget Inn on Hwy 80 near Mineola in reference to
criminal mischief. The owner of the property stated the door to one of the motel's rooms had
been kicked in by a man during the midst of an altercation between the man and a female
occupant of the room. The property owner advised the replacement cost for the door is $230 plus
labor cost. This case has been forwarded for additional investigation.
Deputy Michael Allison took a theft report from a Mineola woman who stated she had ordered a
Straight Talk cell phone, valued at $65, and the phone was to have been delivered in November
of 2020. The woman received a message from FedEx that her phone had been delivered to her
address but she was unable to locate it. The woman further stated she had been in contact with
Straight Talk during the last few months and simply wanted to make a report for the purpose of
receiving a replacement phone. An incident report was completed for documentation purposes
and the case was closed.
Deputy Linda Williams took a report of Identity Theft from a Yantis woman. The woman
advised someone had opened three accounts in her name. Williams gathered information
regarding the fraudulent accounts and completed an incident report for documentation purposes.
Deputy Jonah Croney took a report of forgery from a Hawkins man. The victim stated he had
discovered four blank checks had been stolen from him. The discovery was made after two
unauthorized checks had been cashed on his account totaling approximately $400. The man was
able to provide information regarding suspects. This case has been forwarded for additional

Key difference: The slim fit and straight fit jeans cause a lot of ambiguity in their buyers' minds as they appear to be similar. However a notable difference between them is that the slim fit jeans are narrow from the hip to the ankles, whereas as the name suggests the straight fit jeans are straight.
As the world started to wear jeans and love them, the jeans manufacturers seem to have pledged to make the most out of this mad obsession with the garment. So much so that one cannot even shop for a pair of jeans without experiencing a clear sense of ambiguity regarding their fitting. To add to that, an entire jargon of confusing words is served up to the consumer as a precursor to finding one pair of jeans that he/she would be happy with. For this reason, learning and understanding about these terms becomes more important.
The slim fit jeans can be understood to be a pair of jeans that are somewhere between the skinny and straight types. Skinny, as the name suggests, is a tight and figure hugging variant of jeans, while straight jeans sit at the waist and are straight from the hip to the ankles, which is also the reason why they're called as straight fit. The slim fit falls somewhere between these two types of jeans. If one had to be precise, the slim fit can be called as a slightly forgiving version of the skinny jeans.
The straight jeans on the other hand are inspired from the classic cut jeans, which were 'the' jeans in the market, until the jeans manufacturing companies started putting jeans-lovers into a tizzy. The straight jeans are also iconic in a sense, as they're the first kind of jeans to be worn by the world, right since Levi's introduced them back in the year 1873. Unlike other fits, straight jeans don't taper from the knees to the ankles, and neither do they narrow at the thighs or the hips. A straight fit jeans is well complemented with a full-sleeved shirt, which shouldn't be body hugging either. Rounding this combo off with a jacket would make for an ideal everyday outfit.
People with an athletic build should opt for the slim fit jeans. The slim fit can actually accentuate their lower body structure by highlighting their muscles. The slim fit sits fairly low on the waist, so it is not recommendable to people who carry a little extra weight in their hip and thigh regions. The slim fit jeans are good to be paired with t-shirts specifically. They can go well with a V-neck t-shirt, as well as a round-neck t-shirt. This kind of apparel is replete with a pair of sneakers, as long as they're not screaming for attention more than the jeans or the t-shirt.
Therefore while investing in a pair of jeans, it is essential that one learns about his/her body type and the various options available in accordance.
They fall in between the skinny and straight fit types of jeans.
The iconic style of jeans, or in other words the original jeans.
Awesome explanation, went shopping for men's jeans at Macy's and it was so confusing between slim and straight, to be honest they looked identical she. I held them up next to each other!

Premiers' Performance: Federal Liberal 'red tide' lifts Atlantic Premiers' approval ratings
Saskatchewan's Brad Wall the only Canadian premier with majority approval rating
December 9, 2015 – The red tide that propelled the Trudeau Liberals to a majority government in October also appears to be lifting the fortunes of some premiers, particularly in Atlantic Canada – where the party swept every riding – and where provincial leaders under the same political banner are seeing public approval of the their job performances improve.
An Angus Reid Institute (ARI) analysis of quarterly online survey results from more than six thousand Canadian adults shows that New Brunswick provincial Liberal Premier Brian Gallant sees his approval rating rebound nine points over the last quarter from 25 per cent in late summer to 34 per cent currently.
A change is also seen in in Nova Scotia, where more people now approve of fellow Liberal premier Stephen McNeil's job performance (40 per cent in September, 46 per cent now).
As for Newfoundland and Labrador, that province has opted for a wholesale change in government. Due to date of the provincial election (November 30) and fielding dates of this survey (Nov. 24 – Dec. 1) no reporting is available for Liberal premier-designate Dwight Ball, who will be sworn in on December 14. Outgoing Conservative Premier Paul Davis' job performance had the approval of 43 per cent of people in that province, a significant 12-point rebound over late summer (31%), but not enough to prevent his government's massive loss.
The Liberal love-fest does not extend to premiers in central Canada however: approval of Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard's job performance has trended down six points over the last quarter to 35%, landing him in the same place he was in March of this year, having enjoyed more goodwill from Quebecers during the summer. Ontarians' approval of Premier Kathleen Wynne remains statistically unchanged over the last three months, off by a single point to 30 per cent – and down six points since March of this year.
As for the non-Liberal premiers (note that BC Liberals are a separate entity and not affiliated with the federal party), just over one-in-five Manitobans approve of New Democratic Party Premier Greg Selinger's job performance (22%), virtually unchanged over the last three-quarters, but up five points from a floor of 17 per cent this time a year ago. Selinger remains Canada's least-approved-of Premier.
Marching westward, Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall's job approval is down three points and stands at 60 per cent. The only time people in that province rated Wall's performance lower than this was in May 2011, when 59 per cent said they endorsed his work. However, he remains the most-approved-of premier in the country.
Having made international headlines for her recent announcement regarding Alberta's climate change strategy, Premier Rachel Notley will doubtless make more headlines as she works to sell the sweeping changes – including a carbon tax – closer to home. Fewer Albertans approve of the job she's doing now (45%) than three months ago (50%).
In spite of a legislative session that did not go very well for the BC Liberals, Premier Christy Clark's approval rating in British Columbia is slightly higher at 34 per cent, up two points since late August – and more or less unchanged over the last year.
Note: There are no trendline graphs for premiers who are relatively new to office.

Italy is famous all around the world for its culture, beauty and cuisine. Weeks ago, we spoke about the popular Mediterranean diet and its benefits in our every day life. Today we will speak about famous Italian chef.
Today, when we write about Massimo Bottura, we all must keep in mind what writer Alessandra Meldolesi knows and writes well on the pages of "6 (sei)", a vital book for those who are interested in deepening the Nuova cucina italiana movement, born on the first decade of this millennium. That is: «At the beginning, in 1987, it was the trattoria in Campazzo. Here Bottura conceived himself as a owner. But gradually he lost hold of it and found himself trapped into the art of Lidia Cristoni. She was his first teacher, soon followed by Georges Cogny , the classic cuisine priest from Nonantola and Alain Ducasse , who took him with himself to Louis XV in Monaco. Here the chef learned how to cook clean, concentrated and organized, three principles we would never forget».
Three years after the birth of his Osteria Francescana, the chef met Ferran Adrià : it's 1999, a year that switched off a century, a millennium just like we realize today how influent was the first decade of this millenium, modeled by key figures just like Bottura. There's still a very long way to go, to make the world realize that the cucina italiana intended as pizza, pasta, risotto and smiles, is a folkloristic stereotype that can be erased through excellent products and chefs like this one. Bottura is somehow scary because he breaks past without stopping being italianissimo.
Before speaking about tradition (by the way, is tradition a static monolith or is it the sum of a thousand different non-stop winning ideas?) or talking about molecular cuisine, mistaking a technique with a course, we should make one step behind and head to Modena to taste his Compressed pasta e fagioli or the Bollito non bollito. We'd understand that this is a contemporary sum of centuries of cucina italiana, a movement that has gone traveling around the world and comes back to the Buon Paese to get new vital lifeblood. A trip led by a guy who got, in 2011, 3 Michelin stars and uncountable awards. (2011)
Here is the chef-enfant prodige of the world highest cuisine scene, Massimiliano Alajmo! Side by side with his brother Raffaele, he's prolonging a triumphant march in the history of cuisine. Of course, it's not easy to go beyond the three Michelin stars, received when he was almost a kid, but… On march 19 1994, when father Erminio and mum Rita Chimetto left them the keys of their restaurant (one-starred at that age) they couldn't expect the creative disorder and the glorious jump that Massimiliano and Raffaele would switch on soon. Rita was the chef's first teacher («he's a cake sculptress», he likes to say) while Erminio teached the maître Raffaele how to handle a restaurant with care, irony and savoir faire.
But Massimiliano was not satisfied with the family teachings and went soon to France to cook with Michel Guérard and Marc Veyrat , from whom he learned how to move with very precise and clear neatness, an ability furtherly improved by frequent escapades gourmands to the high cuisine French and Spanish sanctuaries. Awarded with the second star when he was just 22, he got the third at 28, being the youngest 3-starred chef in the history of Michelin ever. His nicknamed "Mozart of high cuisine" comes from his precociousness but also from the culinary depth that hides under his brilliant, free and easy surface.
To speak to Massimiliano means to experiment the seriousness of a game, philosophical and even religious issues that expressive decency and esthetical transfiguration metamorphosise into flashes of very simple pleasures. That is, the metaphysics of a tomato or a fish filet ruled by technique and strictness. Massi's cuisine is very modern but loved even by kids, neither banal or conceptual, between tradition and avant-garde. That is, beyond definition. A rope-dancer on a perfect balance.
«What you believe being a piece of meat, actually is a sea turtle filet. And, look, this is not a stuffed pig but a dolphin liver. That's because my chef is very clever at preserving ocean's products. Taste these foods: here you are a holoturia marmalade, an absolutely unbeatable recipe for Malaysians people. And, here you are milk cream from cetacean's udders and sugar from North Sea's big fuci. And, finally, please let me offer you this anemone marmalade, not worse than those made with more tasteful fruits…». Those words are from Moreno Cedroni, the singer of the mosthidden Adriatic ravines. Fish salamis, calamari hot dogs, turbot chops, fish chitterlings: Senigallia sea doesn't have to do with just beaches, pedalò boats and beach umbrellas.
At the beginning, Moreno dreamed of a career in the navy. But it was just a whim: as soon as he started sailing, he made up his mind purchasing a dismissed place on the Lungomare Italia. Soon it became a restaurant centered on a banal menu, with a corpulent woman in the kitchen: they used to prepare fried fishes, sea salads and even pizza. Some years later those recipes wowould be totally capsized through a virtuous man's techniques and calembours worth of a great humorist.
In the middle, two important moments: in 1990 he migrates to the kitchen, with the first birth of some complex recipes and, in 1995, he meets the great maestro Ferran Adrià, the engine of his repentine conversion: «before him», says Moreno, «we were all just bigots».
Registers in Moreno's philosophy are several: irony, for instance, meets meets one of the most successful Italian expressions inside Madonnina del Pescatore's menu. But also inside all other restaurants signed by Cedroni: Clandestino - a light blue gazebo inside the park of Conero -; Anikò - a kiosk in the center of Senigallia and Officina - a shop-laboratory with small boxes and weird fish delicatessen. All these projects lean on the sweet shoulders of Mariella, maestro's maîtresse and wife.

The worst US Supreme Court decision I can remember in my lifetime took place this past year with the case of Kelo v. New London. In that case by a 5-4 ruling that local governments may seize people's homes and businesses even against their will for private economic development.
Which means that even if your family has lived in a home for several generations, your local government can confiscate it, give you whatever they think it's worth and give it to private developers build strip malls or a new Wal-Mart, all in the name of economic development for the "community". If you're a church or a synagogue or mosque or any other non-for-profit entity this decision can even be worse because local community "leaders (i.e. politicians) can say that a developer who promises to make money off of your property is constituting more of an "advantage" to the community than a tax-free religious or social service group. The decision violates one of the things this country has always held sacred - private property rights. We have never been Communists or Socialists. Our Revolution was not the French one which nationalized and seized private property and re-sold it to the highest bidder. Our founders were all landowners who respected property rights and they would be rolling over in their graves right now - perhaps worried their final resting places will be confiscated and given to somebody who wants to open a Chuck E. Cheese. After all, what economic boosts do tombstones and cemeteries contribute to a community?
Here's the story: WorldNetDaily: Supreme Court justice faces boot from home?
The proposed development, called "The Lost Liberty Hotel" will feature the "Just Desserts Cafe" and include a museum, open to the public, featuring a permanent exhibit on the loss of freedom in America. Instead of a Gideon's Bible each guest will receive a free copy of Ayn Rand's novel "Atlas Shrugged."Clements indicated that the hotel must be built on this particular piece of land because it is a unique site being the home of someone largely responsible for destroying property rights for all Americans.
Personally, I'm not quite sure if this is a joke or not. I hope not. It's about time that those who dictate to us on high feel the effects of their own decisions on themselves. It would indeed be a case of "Just Desserts".

Freud Portrait Sale Settles Family Dispute
January 14, 2014 by Marion Maneker
Sotheby's will be selling Lucian Freud's portrait of Lady Lambton next month to settle the estate of Lord Lambton. The Telegraph tells the back story:
The sale follows a High Court case involving the family last year, after the death of Lord Lambton in 2006. The former Conservative defence minister, who resigned after being caught with a prostitute, had left his entire estate to his son and heir Edward Lambton, the Seventh Earl of Durham.
In October, the High Court heard a claim that three of his daughters – Lady Lucinda Lambton, Lady Beatrix Nevill and Lady Anne Lambton – were entitled to "millions of pounds" each under the laws of Italy, where their father spent his last 30 years. […]
Speaking of the sale of the painting, he said: "I am delighted that the painting of my mother has been so well received and hope that it finds a good home in the future.
"It is being sold, following a welcome settlement between me and my sisters, and also to carry out much needed reparations to Lambton Estates."

An experiment can be characterized by the data taken at many different times; a pointing matrix , relating the data timestream to the underlying signal at pixelized positions indexed by , and a noise matrix characterizing the covariance of the noise in the timestream. A model for the data then is (with implicit sum over the repeating index ); it is the sum of signal plus noise. Here is drawn from a distribution (often Gaussian) with mean zero and covariance . In its simplest form the pointing matrix contains rows - which corresponds to a particular time - with all zeroes in it except for one column with a one (see Figure 5). That column corresponds to the particular pixel observed at the time of interest. Typically, a pixel will be scanned many times during an experiment, so a given column will have many ones in it, corresponding to the many times the pixel has been observed.
That is, the noise, the difference between the data and the modulated signal, is assumed to be Gaussian with covariance .
where . As the notation suggests, the mean of the estimator is equal to the actual and the variance is equal to .
Inspection of Equation (26) shows that, in this case the Fisher matrix is precisely equal to . Therefore, the Cramer-Rao theorem implies that the estimator of Equation (28) is optimal: it has the smallest possible variance [Tegmark, 1997a]. No information is lost if the map is used in subsequent analysis instead of the timestream data, but huge factors of compression have been gained. For example, in the recent Boomerang experiment [Netterfield et al, 2001], the timestream contained numbers, while the map had only pixels. The map resulted in compression by a factor of .
There are numerous complications that must be dealt with in realistic applications of Equation (28). Perhaps the most difficult is estimation of , the timestream noise covariance. This typically must be done from the data itself [Ferreira & Jaffe, 2000,Stompor et al, 2001]. Even if were known perfectly, evaluation of the map involves inverting , a process which scales as the number of raw data points cubed. For both of these problems, the assumed stationarity of (it depends only on ) is of considerable utility. Iterative techniques to approximate matrix inversion can also assist in this process [Wright et al, 1996]. Another issue which has received much attention is the choice of pixelization. The community has converged on the Healpix pixelization scheme , now freely available.
Perhaps the most dangerous complication arises from astrophysical foregrounds, both within and from outside the Galaxy, the main ones being synchrotron, bremmsstrahlung, dust and point source emission. All of the main foregrounds have different spectral shapes than the blackbody shape of the CMB. Modern experiments typically observe at several different frequencies, so a well-posed question is: how can we best extract the CMB signal from the different frequency channels [Bouchet & Gispert, 1999]? The blackbody shape of the CMB relates the signal in all the channels, leaving one free parameter. Similarly, if the foreground shapes are known, each foreground comes with just one free parameter per pixel. A likelihood function for the data can again be written down and the best estimator for the CMB amplitude determined analytically. While in the absence of foregrounds, one would extract the CMB signal by weighting the frequency channels according to inverse noise, when foregrounds are present, the optimal combination of different frequency maps is a more clever weighting that subtracts out the foreground contribution [Dodelson, 1997]. One can do better if the pixel-to-pixel correlations of the foregrounds can also be modeled from power spectra [Tegmark & Efstathiou, 1996] or templates derived from external data.
This picture is complicated somewhat because the foreground shapes are not precisely known, varying across the sky, e.g. from a spatially varying dust temperature. This too can be modelled in the covariance and addressed in the likelihood [Tegmark, 1998,White, 1998]. The resulting cleaned CMB map is obviously noisier than if foregrounds were not around, but the multiple channels keep the degradation managable. For example, the errors on some cosmological parameters coming from Planck may degrade by almost a factor of ten as compared with the no-foreground case. However, many errors will not degrade at all, and even the degraded parameters will still be determined with unprecedented precision [Knox, 1999,Prunet et al, 2000,Tegmark et al, 2000].
Many foregrounds tend to be highly non-Gaussian and in particular well-localized in particular regions of the map. These pixels can be removed from the map as was done for the region around the galactic disk for COBE. This technique can also be highly effective against point sources. Indeed, even if there is only one frequency channel, external foreground templates set the form of the additional contributions to , which, when properly included, immunize the remaining operations in the data pipeline to such contaminants [Bond et al, 1998]. The same technique can be used with templates of residual systematics or constraints imposed on the data, from e.g. the removal of a dipole.
