Soft X-rays from disk galaxy halos, Ly-alpha emission from forming   galaxies, and the z~1 Tully-Fisher relation
  Extended, soft X-ray emission from the halo of a very large disk galaxy has been detected out to r~20-40 kpc. The luminosity and surface brightness distribution is in very good agreement with predictions by recent, cosmological galaxy formation models. Predictions of Ly-alpha emission, associated with ``cold'' accretion of filamentary gas onto galaxies, are presented. In particular these predictions are compared to the properties of a recently detected Ly-alpha ``blob'', which shows no obvious continuum counter-part in any of 12 broad-bands, from X-rays (Chandra) to infrared (Spitzer). Finally, the predicted evolution of the Tully-Fisher relation, going from z=0 to 1, is discussed in relation to recent observations.
