In 1992, Risser co-founded
Picometrix - a supplier of opti-
cal receivers and terahertz - with
Steven Williamson, who was a
researcher at the University's Cen-
ter for Ultrafast Optical Science.
Now a subsidiary of Advanced Pho-
tonix, Picometrix developed the
terahertz semiconductor.
With a wavelength between that
of visible light and microwaves,
terahertz waves either pass through
or ricochet off objects and can be
picked up by a sensor that would
vibrate "like a tuning fork," Risser
said. The frequency of the vibration,
he added, would identify the kind of
material hit by the waves.
Risser - who received his MBA
from the University in 1978 - said
he believes that the terahertz tech-
nology could be used in airports in
lieu of current scanning methods.
Recently, the Transporta-
tion Security Administration has
started using full-body scanners,
which allow airport officials to
see through clothing to find con-
cealed weapons, explosives or other
restricted materials.

For Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2010
ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
Tread carefully when dealing with
partners and close friends today. Don't
react to criticism or negative comments
from others. Possibly, you might be the
one who is critical! (Oops.)
TAURUS
(April 20to May 20)
An authority figure or someone who is
older or more experienced than you
wants to introduce reforms and make a
clean sweep of things at work. You're
not impressed.
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 20)
Children might be burdensome today.
Romance is just as bleak and disappoint-
ing. Avoid power struggles that will only
make things worse. Run away! Run
away!
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)
Avoid difficult discussions with par-
ents and 'older relatives today. People
will be critical and unforgiving. (You
need this like a fish needs a bicycle.)
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
Avoid negative thinking today. The
truth is, things look worse today than
they really are. Your glass is not only
half-empty, it's cracked!
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
Financial matters look a bit gloomy.
Salaries might disappoint. Expenditures
might be too high. It's hard to make ends
meet. (Things are not as bad as they
seem.)
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Differences and heated debates with
others make you cut yourself off. The
result is that you might feel lonely and
unloved. Of course, this isn't true! You
just feel this way today.

SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
It's hard to maintain a positive attitude
today. Don't worry -join the club; we
number in the millions. This is just a
passing dark cloud on your horizon.
Have courage!
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22to Dec. 21)
Someone older, perhaps a friend or an
acquaintance, might rain on your parade
today. Don't take this seriously. What
does this person really know about your
life?
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22to Jan. 19)
Authority figures are difficult to deal
with today; therefore, give them a wide
berth! Do not wake the sleeping giant.
Don't ask for permission for anything.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20to Feb. 18)
Travel plans might be disappointing.
Authority figures in medicine, the law
and higher education might discourage
you. Don't take this seriously. It's atem-
porary situation.
PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
You might be disappointed in your
share of something. Perhaps you think
others are stingy or unfair? (You could
be right.) Wait until another day to
defend yourturf, because today, you lack
the self-confidence and righteous indig-
nation to do a good job.
YOU BORN TODAY You're an inde-
pendent thinker who has ambitious
goals. (You're success-oriented!) People
love your friendly nature because they
know you have a kind, humanitarian
impulse. You're imaginative. You love
novelty and innovation. You know how
to work cooperatively with others. Make
sure you make time this year to study or
learn something valuable. Your rewards
soon will follow!
