  Biretta
The shape during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries was everywhere considerably modified, and, though the question is very complicated, there seems no good reason to reject the identification, proposed by several modern writers, of the old doctor's birettum with the square college cap, popularly known as the "mortar-board", of the modern English universities.
As regards usage in wearing the biretta, the reader must be referred for details to some of the works mentioned in the bibliography.
It may be said in general that the biretta is worn in processions and when seated, as also when the priest is performing any act of jurisdiction, e.

 Biretta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The biretta is a square cap with three or four ridges or peaks, sometimes surmounted by a tuft, traditionally worn by Roman Catholic clergy, as well as by some clergy of the Anglican Churches.
However, a four-peaked biretta is awarded to those who complete a doctoral degree in a pontifical faculty or university (as opposed to doctorates from other faculties), which may be piped and tufted with the color indicating the field of expertise, thus, for example, emerald green for canon law and dark red for theology.
The pontifical doctoral biretta is sometimes seen in depictions of St. Teresa of Ávila, because she was declared a doctor by the University of Salamanca.

 SPACE.com -- Radio Images Show the Source of Towering Cosmic Jet
Biretta and his colleagues suggest that magnetic field lines that are anchored in the accretion disk drive the jet.
Biretta and Junor suggest that magnetic focusing might be the force that forces the jet into a narrow column, but that is just one of several ideas that have been proposed.
Biretta and his colleagues have proposed to next take observations sensitive to the polarization of the radio waves.

 Dappled Photos: Biretta Sightings
The biretta, which was never abolished, is the customary cap of Roman Catholic clergy.
The biretta is the usual headgear for clerics at commencement ceremonies, rather than the mortarboard.
Once a cleric receives a higher degree (usually the doctorate), he may wear (in an academic setting) the academic biretta, which has four horns and is piped in the color of his specific field of expertise.

However, as the rochet may be used by the properly privileged persons as choir-dress, it may be included among the liturgical vestments in the broad sense, like the biretta or the cappa magna.
biretta: "A square cap with three ridges or peaks on its upper surface, worn by clerics of all grades from cardinals downwards.
The canons of Loretto basilica in 1882 got a violet tassel on their birettas and numerous chapters were privileged to wear the choir dress of the various grades of prelates of the pontifical household.

 Zucchetto
The official name is pileolus; other designations are: berettino, calotte, subbiretum (because worn under the biretta), submitrale (because worn under the mitre), soli-deo.
Cardinals who had been secular priests received the red zucchetto and also the red biretta in 1464 from Paul II; the cardinals taken from the regulars were granted both in 1591.
If the newly-appointed cardinal is at Rome he receives the zucchetto from the Sotto-guardaroba as he leaves the throne room where he has received the mozetta, and biretta from the pope; otherwise the zucchetto is brought to him, along with the decree of appointment, by one of the pope's Noble Guard.

 The cap
Aside from its retention as the trencher cap, the cap of the Oxford Doctors of Divinity, and the biretta, the barret cap survives today as the head-dress for the Lutheran clergy, German lawyers, deans and rectors of Continental universities.
Although the wig passed out of general use by bishops in the reign of William IV, the biretta was re-introduced to a limited extent only at the end of the nineteenth century (and is now also called the Canterbury cap).
It is used by graduates and undergraduates of the University of Malta, and others in the Near East; Haycraft, Frank, The Degrees and Hoods of the World's Universities and Colleges revised and enlarged by EW Scobie Stringer (4th ed, The Cheshunt Press, Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, 1948, first published 1923) 29.

 Cosmic Jet Explodes From Distant Galaxy
Junor, along with John Biretta and Mario Livio of the Space Telescope Science Institute, in Baltimore, MD, now have shown that M87's jet is formed within a few tenths of a light-year of the galaxy's core, presumed to be a fl hole three billion times more massive than the sun.
In the formation region, the jet is seen opening widely, at an angle of about 60 degrees, nearest the fl hole, but is squeezed down to only 6 degrees a few light-years away.
The scientists believe that magnetic fields in the disk are twisted tightly as the disk spins and then channel the electrically-charged particles into a pair of narrow jets.

 Scotland on Sunday - Opinion - Gunning for the biretta
As they relax in Rome this weekend, the men are all too aware that only one of them will go on to wear the red biretta and shape the agenda of the powerful Scottish Catholic church for a new century.
He was the only other one of the church’s eight bishops to speak out publicly in support of the crusade against the repeal of Section 28, which may be why Winning is said to have recommended the Vatican make Conti his successor as Archbishop of Glasgow.
Meanwhile, the liberal wing of the church, which is firmly behind 63-year-old O’Brien, is already mounting an unofficial campaign to win the biretta for their man. Under Winning’s reign, their views were sidelined in favour of his punchy populism.

 AKMA’s Random Thoughts
What burned my toast, though, was that the first-year in questions allowed that it wasn’t her own biretta, but belonged to a middler who is possibly the lowest of the low-churchmen presently studying at Seabury.
The biretta was given him as a joke (!), and he had simply offered to share it with his friend.
Pictures were taken of me wearing the doubly-borrowed biretta, and my esteeemed colleague Ellen Wondra wearing a Canterbury cap (Archbishop Laud example here), but they’re safe behind a password-protected barrier.

 The importance of M87   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
It was the first extragalactic jet to be discovered (Curtis 1918) and, since then, it has been subjected to intense observational studies at all wavelengths (see Biretta 1993 for a recent review).
The complex knotty structure of the jet has been resolved at wavelengths from the radio through to X-rays (Biretta, Stern and Harris 1991).
The spectrum and proper motions (Biretta, Zhou and Owen 1995) of the knots yield direct constraints on the physical processes operating and the geometry of the system.
