The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com Monday, February.1, 2010 - 7A TECHNOLOGY From Page 1A boxes, that nature." 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. According to a TSA statement released in Jan. 3, there will be new security measures for all United resulting from the new technology States and international aircrafts because the waves are at a low fre- flying to the U.S. quency, according to Risser.

U-M exp. 996-0566 or writeon@iserv.net 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! Birthdate of: Ina Garten, chef; James Joyce, author; Farah Fawcett, actress. ss 5 57 su WORK ON MACKINAC Island, this 6s 64 summer - Make lifelong friends.
