1) BTeV is a collider experiment previously approved to run at the 
Tevatron at Fermilab. The experiment was aimed at the precision studies
of heavy flavor decays, with particular emphasis on CP violation, flavor
oscillations and rare decays. One of its unique features was a
state-of-the art pixel detector system. It gives BTeV an extraordinary
potential for doing both b and c physics. The spatial resolution of the
pixel detector were measured for various incident angle/temperature/
threshold combinations. The data were compared with predictions from our
Monte Carlo simulation. 

    2) In the Standard Model, CP violating effects are small in the
charm sector so that this provides an excellent opportunity to search
for non-Standard Model effects. I will describe an algorithm developed
to select charm and achieve minimum systematic and statistical errors
for the competetive y_cp measurement in the neutral D-system.
