Amber writes in a conversational tone and with a sense of humor that makes the book an easy read and, perhaps more importantly, easy to comprehend. The book covers just about everything young women need to know in a short, concise format that is not intended to be a treatise on the subject, but rather an introduction to what they need to know to understand how their sexuality impacts them and their bodies at this age. It is also a good read for guys who want some insight into what women face as they learn to manage their own sexuality.
This book accomplishes its purpose so well that I have placed it at the top of my "Must Read" list for teenagers and young women. I wish I had had this book or a book like it when I was in high school, and I'd definitely recommend that any parent give it to their daughter.
Diane C. Donovan

Amber also tackles tough issues like body image, sexual orientation, rape, relationships and abuse among other topics. I think this is a great book for young women who want to learn more intimacy. The layout and illustrations make for easy reading. The book also has a conversational tone to it.
Amber Madison is a graduate of Tufts University. She studied human sexuality in her degree program and she wrote a column in the Tufts Daily about sex, safe sex, and relationships.

I would like to develop a personal app for this i need to detect my car's rotation. In a previous thread i got an answert to which sensors are good for that it's okay. Now i would like to ask you to please summerize the essential/needed mathematical relationship. What i would like to see in my app: - The car rotation in degrees - The car actual speed (in general this app will be used in slow speed situation like 3-5km/h)
I think the harder part of this is the rotation detect in real time. It will be good to the app could work when i place the phone in a car holder in landscape or portrait mode.
So please summerize me which equations,formulas,realtionships are needed to calculate the car rotation. And please tell me your recomendation to which motion/position sensor are best for this purpuse (gravity,accelerometer,gyro,..)
First i thought that i will use Android 2.2 for better compatibility with my phones but for me 2.3.3 is okay too. In this case i can use TYPE_ROTATION_VECTOR which looks like a good thing but i don't really know that it can be a useful for me or not?
I don't want full source codes i would like to develop it myself but i need to know where can i start, what deep math knowlegde needed and what part of math are needed. And for sensor question: i'am a bit confused there are many sensors which are possible ok for me.

James Franco and Agyness Deyn Spark Dating Rumor
James Franco has sparked speculation he's dating Agyness Deyn after sharing footage of himself enjoying a drive with the British supermodel. The "127 Hours" star was rumored to be romancing the leggy beauty last year after he allegedly split from his longtime girlfriend Ahna O'Reilly, and now the pair appears to be getting close again.
In clips posted on his Twitter.com page, the pair can be heard chatting about Vietnamese food and Deyn's modeling jobs as they cruise the streets of Los Angeles. Franco sits in the passenger seat while the catwalk queen drives.
Franco seems to take video making his hobby. He also posted several others on his Twitter page including a "Backstage view of directing mom's play Metamorphosis at Palo Alto Children's Theater".

SAFE Boats International (SBI) recently delivered a 65-foot Coastal Command Boat (CCB) to the U.S. Navy's Coastal Riverine Group 1 in Coronado, California. The CCB is the first vessel of if its kind and represents the next generation of the Naval Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC)'s fleet of patrol boats and combatant craft. Its unique combination of size and agility enable it to patrol shallow littoral areas as well as deeper, open-water regions.
The 65-foot CCB is an early variant of the soon to be delivered, 85-foot MKVI Patrol Boat. The CCB is powered by twin diesel engines and water jets, is capable of speeds in excess of 35 knots and can maintain cruise speed for up to 24 hours. It features a pilothouse and a main deck cabin with shock mitigating seating for up to 18 crew members and features integrated working stations along with a separate galley, head, shower facilities and engine room. The CCB is equipped for crew served and remotely operated weapon systems, advanced thermal imaging and features a hydraulic crane system.
The vessel was manufactured at SAFE Boats International's Large Craft Production Facility (LCPF) at the Port of Tacoma, Washington and is one of the largest platforms the company has produced to date. U.S. Navy personnel recently underwent specialized training at the LCPF's newly launched training center, also located within the Port of Tacoma, where everything from vessel operation to advanced systems maintenance was taught. The CCB was then taken to the northern Puget Sound where extensive testing was performed prior to delivery.

Black Box Corporation (NASDAQ:BBOX), a leading technology solutions provider, today announced that the Company's ClimateCab™ environmentally-controlled cabinets have won a 2014 Commercial Integrator BEST Award.
Award-winning ClimateCab environmentally-controlled cabinets are the solution for users who need to house servers or IT equipment outside the data center. (Photo: Business Wire)
This year's winning entries were chosen by a panel of accomplished integrators along with the editors of Commercial Integrator to join an exclusive group of products deemed most noteworthy. Judging criteria for the 2014 Commercial Integrator BEST Awards included innovation, functionality, competitive advantages, and benefits to the installer.
ClimateCab climate-controlled, NEMA 12 cabinets are a cost-effective, efficient cooling solution for those who need to house IT equipment outside the data center. The integrator can offer a solution customized to each customer's particular needs because the cabinets come in different heights and depths and with multiple rail and air-conditioning options.
In smaller installations, users can save thousands by using a ClimateCab cabinet instead of installing a complete data center with a custom cooling system and raised floors. They're well suited for use in remote locations, wiring closets, and industrial environments. They're NEMA 12 rated to protect equipment from falling dirt; circulating dust, lint, and debris; and dripping or splashing liquids in indoor environments. Plus, the sealed cable entries prevent air exchange.
"We are pleased that Black Box's ClimateCab cabinets have been recognized for their innovation, functionality, and benefits to the integrator," said Justin Schaeffer, Black Box Product Manager. "They are an excellent choice for many environments, and they enable users to install equipment without the need for additional cooling or costly infrastructure."

Your Teen Doesn't Want to Drive?
Posted by: Ann
June 7th, 2010 >> Life
Do you know a teen who is not interested in driving? This was unheard of when I was a teenager (gulp! 35 years ago). But today seems to be remarkably different. I have talked to people who have teenage and even early 20 age children who have no interest in learning to drive, and most of them are boys! My own son had to be forced to get his license; I was determined to be through with chauffeuring. To me this is in the 'twilight zone' area, I don't understand what is happening.
When I was young, getting your driver's license was like receiving a 'get-out-of jail' card; Freedom beckoned. I would yell "I'll be back in an hour" and I would hit the road. I did not have to have a destination; just driving was its own reward. I would drive down roads I had never been on. I would try to get lost and this was before cell phones and GPS so there was a good chance I might actually get lost! It was exciting. I lived south of Houston at the time and sometimes I would drive down to Galveston just to smell the salt water!
But nowadays, my son and apparently many others, don't get that feeling of freedom or that sense of adventure.
A part of this may be attributed to gameboys, books and movies in the car. No one looks out the window anymore for entertainment. The child can't find their way around their own neighborhood.
A year before he received his learner's permit my husband and I would quiz our son about where we were when driving and he never had a clue. I was worried that my very smart son was going to get a license then never be able to figure out how to get anywhere! Then I was talking with a friend, Sue, and the subject got turned to our teens and she volunteered that she was frustrated with her daughter who wanted to drive herself to an event happening at a small town 100 miles away and the mother was saying 'No Way!" She explained that "M… couldn't find her way to the grocery store"! A year before getting her learner's permit, Sue had a relative stay with her daughter while Sue and her husband were gone for a week. One morning the relative mentioned to Sue that she was going to take M… to visit a friend. Sue said 'let me give you directions' but the relative assured her that they could find the house. Well the relative had to call back because after they backed out of the drive, M… couldn't even tell her which way to turn down her own street!
So do yourself a favor and ditch the kid's gameboys, books, movies and even MP3 players and make them find entertainment out the window, maybe they will learn some local geography in the process.
However there may also be another part to this no interest, it may be a feeling of 'been there, done that'. A hundred years ago, shoot, 75 years ago, driving was new, different, fascinating. Those who lived back then learned the new technology. If these same souls are coming back now, driving may be something to be taken for granted, it is a 'yeah, so what, I've already done that' in the experiences of life. And worse than that, there may be some residual dislike if the soul had been killed or involved in a bad car crash.
My husband thinks there may be a link to the driving aversion and indigo kids that were being born in mass in the 90's. I have not investigated that possibility. If anyone else can shed some light on the topic your input would be appreciated.
What ever the cause there is a definite shift in the mentality of young drivers.
July 4th, 2010 at 7:32 PM
I am a teen who does not want to learn to drive, although my parents are forcing me to. It's not that I don't know where I'd be going, because I do look out the window when my parents drive and do know the way around. I just don't think it is one bit safe! Look at the newspapers-look at internet articles! Driving is the number one cause of death in teens! To me, it sounds about as fun to drive as it would be to hold a gun to my head and hope it doesn't go off when I pull the trigger!
Thanks for the comment. With your attitude, you will be a safe driver. You know the risk and the potential danger. It is the driver on the road (teen or otherwise) who does not take driving seriously that end up creating accidents. Just keep your eyes open for other drivers and you will develop an intuition about who to stay away from and what sudden moves to anticipate from another driver. Good luck and good driving.
January 21st, 2011 at 7:50 PM
I recently married and my 17 year old step son has moved in. He does not want a car either! I am literally dumbfounded by this. It feels like it will come down to forcing him as well. Like you, I had my permit when 16 and in line at the DMV on my 17 birthday. Everyone I grew up with was the same. You went on your 17 Bday. It was one of the greatest days in my young life. I simply do not get it.
July 17th, 2011 at 12:55 AM
My son is 20. He has a learner's permit. He agrees with Jenny's comment about the safety issue. Drivers in Las Vegas are totally wack. When we first moved here from California, I noticed two things: how many people smoked cigarettes, and how rude the drivers are in Las Vegas (for example, DO NOT expect another driver to "let you in" just because your blinker is flashing. I do see the logic in my son's view, but it is also crazy to me since I could not wait to have my license as soon as I was 16. I think he knows he will have to pay for the insurance and the economy is so terrible nowadays that the kids just do not have the kind of hope they ought to have in a normal society. He would rather ride a bike, get the exercise, and save the money.
March 27th, 2012 at 1:32 AM
I am almost 18, and I have no interest in driving. My little sister couldn't wait to get behind the wheel. I get made fun of for this frequently. What people don't realize is that anxiety among my generation is very high. I have panic attacks when trying to drive. The idea that driving is fun sounds nutts to me. It's no longer fun, it's horrifying.
May 30th, 2012 at 7:54 AM
Thank you so much for this great article!! I'm a Mom at my wits end because my 17 1/2 year old daughter has ZERO interest in driving! She is just finishing her Junior year at a private girls school & I drive her to & from everyday (hour and a half round trip!) She completed drivers ed last summer, her instructors said she did great behind the wheel. She told me that she just prefers to be driven around. I really think she is just LAZY!! All of her friends drive to school! Any advice??
October 9th, 2012 at 7:39 AM
I'm having the same problems with my nephew who just moved in and I'm kind of tired of having to chauffeur him around. I had to change my schedule at work to an earlier shift to get off early enough to take him to work, but then he works late so I have to stay up late so I get like 5.5 hours of sleep through the week, meanwhile he's sleeping in until noon. So we're taking him today for his license, we'll see how it goes. If he does not take this seriously we'll be forced to make him call a cab. I can't continue riding him around everywhere. He works everyday and my life has come to a hault. I can't make any plans..cause I have to be available for him. It's unbelievable. Pathetic actually. We're going to have a generation of kids that are already irresponsible and even more so cause mommy is going to have to drive them everywhere even their dates..un-effin-believable.
November 8th, 2012 at 8:01 AM
My son told people he doesn't want to grow up. He has his own maid, chef and chauffeur. He is now 19 and he has not grown up, I am very upset over this lazy man. For graduation he wanted a foldable bike, which he has crashed 3 times and made a hospital visit once? I see more energy out of the 11year old? I just don't get it!
November 20th, 2012 at 11:48 PM
I'm one of those teen who have any interest in driving. I do know my way around town and nighboorhood county (visually). My reason is well, techonogy. It's ever so evolving. It makes it easy to connect to people without leaving bed (though I am physically active to a point) next is school is shoving down my throat with anti DUI, texting, and the a quote that stuck in my head from all these driving video at school is "remember, your driving a 2+ ton metal object and one wrong mistake will land you in a Morg or in jail, Have Fun!" And I'm not making that quote up, it actually says that. And the feeling of being tired in a motor vehicle. Dosnt matter if I have 1 hour or 24 hour of sleep. I'm always tried when I get in a motor vehicle and I tired other stuff to help me with that problem and their not working.
I agree that the schools could be a big part of the problem. They tend to be extreme in trying to make their point and in the process scare those who take them seriously and those who they are trying to scare straight still ignore them. I think each generation is different and needs to be taught differently. My generation may have needed the scare tactic but I think we need to be giving new drivers now days more confidence not scaring them out of driving.
About the motor putting you to sleep, that may be my generation causing that to. When you guys were babies us extremely tired parents in the attempt to get the baby to sleep would drive them around in the car till they fell asleep. Now whenever my 20 year old son gets in a car or plane he is out before the trip starts. This does not give him much confidence about staying awake while driving himself.

Wow. I thought I was the only one dealing with this issue. My son doesn't want to drive either and actually falls asleep every time he gets in the vehicle. It's absolutely driving me insane. I feel like a chaffeur. Not to mention, I have to schedule my life around his.
April 30th, 2013 at 9:50 PM
I must say I feel relieved to know my son who is 17 is not the only one no wanting to learn to drive, I been so worried over this as I don't get it just like others here I started driving at 16 and I looked forward to it, I told him that all I want is to know he can move a car what I'f there is an emergency and the only means to survive is to move a car and he doesn't know?? He refuses he says he doesn't have to learn to drive I should also mention that my 16 year old daughter is in no rush either I guess is the technology that your now able to even see each other trough a camera, I don't get it but I feel much better knowing that many other teens feel this way I was already thinking about taking him to therapy!!!

Thank you so much I have a 18yr old son and a 17 yr old daughter and neither one of them has any motivation of even learning how to drive in fact my 18yr who just graduated high school now says he wants to do on line courses so he doesn't have to leave. Am I a bad parent for this? I do not know I know they both would rather be home but I can't deal with it. I leave home at 7am and return at 7pm so even if I wanted to teach them I couldn't. So as of today my husband is forcing them to learn. (We will see how that goes)

I took driver's ed in the summer between 8th and 9th grade, and I passed. I registered to get a learner's permit and I passed too. And I still have no idea how to drive.
One of my biggest things was when I stopped in the middle of the highway to turn into the gravel road. I didn't know if I was suppose to go first, or the people on the road turning into the highway. I waited for fifteen seconds before somebody illegally passed me and honked, so I turned.
My parents force me to drive to school and back. My problem is I don't know what to do at intersections (that highway incident should be enough proof that I don't know jacksh@!!! about driving). At intersections, I have no clue when to go, who has the right of way, or how to turn right. I have no idea how I passed driver's ed. And I have to drive to school tomorrow. My parents simply cannot understand and I risk my life. And I have ocd urges to get into wrecks.
June 18th, 2014 at 7:59 PM
Howdy! I'm a 16, almost 17 year old high schooler. I am one of the teenagers who does not like to drive and has no interest in it. Although everyone in the previous comments seems to be so annoyed and angry at their own children for this! I mean for crying out loud people these are your children! You should be supporting them and respecting their decisions, even if it includes not driving. My generation is not lazy! We are simply aware of and to some degree afraid of the dangers associated with driving. Personally, I hate driving. Plus, it's dangerous and costs so much money, money I would much rather be putting towards college. I never want to drive. I would be much happier living in a big city and using public transportation for the rest of my life. So please people, look at this situation for your child's point of view. It will give you a lot of insight!
May 21st, 2015 at 10:50 PM
I'm a 17 year old girl. I have no desire to drive. First things first, I can't get in a car without falling asleep after 15 minutes. Not always, but a lot. Secondly, as said before I get so confused at the intersection I even cry sometimes. Thirdly, I find it difficult to keep steady. I stay in my lane, but I'm always paranoid someone things I'm drunk. Also, I am 4'11 and I have to have my seat pushed all the way up and multiple people told me it's too far up and it'll cause a wreck. I simply can't see otherwise. I only leave the house a few times a week and most the time to go somewhere with my parents. Not only that, but being in a car with teens driving makes me un easy. Drivers ed likes to focus on texting and driving, but not about being extremely knowledgeable of your surroundings. Why drive my way into death? My mom thinks I'm lazy. I'm not, I'm terrified and there's less knowledge about how to drive and more on not playing on your phone. My 22 year old sister won't drive out of town and my whole family makes fun of her, so I feel forced. It's like learning a bike on a road full of potholes and never being certain on which way is peddling forwards or backwards. No thanks, I need to walk more anyways.
As an 18 year old teenager reading all of these comments, I can't help but to want to defend myself. I commute to school every single day both ways and have been doing so for the last four years. I have taken advantage of my parents and never ask them for a ride unless necessary. In today's society, it is far more expensive to purchase it car than it was twenty years ago. Between gas, insurance which is especially high as a teenager, oil checks and the possibility of a car accident, owning it even leasing car is far too much money. Not to mention that many teens are full time students and part time workers, leaving little room for hour long driving lessons, which are also a huge price on its own. I also get extremely nervous driving, always fearing for the safety of those around me. I can't even imagine driving in poor conditions like a storm or a blizzard. With all due respect, not every teenager is completely absorbed by technology. It is simply a means to communicate that most tend to take advantage of.
January 2nd, 2016 at 11:51 PM
I'm a 17 year old with no interest in driving. Aside from the fact that it is costly, time consuming, and impractical, it also provides me with a great deal of anxiety. I know many other teens who also deal with this kind of anxiety about driving. How can we not be anxious when we've grown up seeing car crash after car crash kill hundreds of people, had MADD assemblies and commercials bombarding us for years, and seen so many unsafe drivers on the roads? I understand that many people see a need for having a driver's license and a car in our futures, but what good will they really do us? They hurt the environment, and our wallets! Teens aren't being impractical or difficult, they're trying to change the way the world expects people to act. We are trying to take away the expectation that driving is a necessity when it really isn't. Please consider that when talking to your children about their reluctance to drive!
Glad to read your comment. If you can do with out driving, great. But if you don't live in a large town/city that has good public transportation, or you live too far away from schools and stores that you can walk or cycle to then you need to drive. Unfortunately the media (news and movies) make it look like car accidents happen all the time on every road. In all the years I have been driving (and I am 57 now) I only have one bad accident among my acquaintances (no one was killed). I have been involved in several fender benders no majors. If it was not for the media I would never have known of the major accidents in my town that resulted in a death. So I do think driving is safer than the teens of today have been scared into. If you are careful and aware of your surroundings you will do fine. It is people like you who have a healthy appreciation of what can happen in a car that will make the best drivers. But you do have a point about the cost and environmental impact. If you can get away with not driving, go for it.
Sounds like the way driving is taught now days needs to be revamped. They are scarring kids so much about texting or phoning while driving when they need to be concentrating on teaching the driving skills.

Everyone I spoke to at the dealership was very nice. Car is in pretty good shape, but does need small little things fixed, brakes do need to replaced as slowing down at highway speeds you can tell the rotors are warped and have been overheated. Windows needed to be adjusted because they leak air bad at highway speeds. But overall I'm very happy."

White's position is almost done for, but i guess its your turn to prove why the game is not over just yet.
First try! I finally got one of these crazy puzzles right!
I got the first move! Yippee!
What i find extremely unexpected is that after 41.f7 Qf8?? 42.Rf2, black is lost! White marches his a and b pawns down, and will pretty much win, likely into a winning K+P endgame since her majesty will have to leave the f8 square for one of these pawns.
No, even after 41.f7 Qf8?? 42.Rf2 white will still find a perpetual with his queen to 42... a8 and draw.
no, the king will hide on f1 or g1, black can not stop the promotion.
Thanks! :)
im too tired now but can white not also play f6 and then queen to d6 to just defend, and depending on blacks move defend the rook or push the pawn?
After Qd6 black plays Qxh2#. :)
After 1. f6, Kh6 2. Qd6 black will mate Qe4 3. Rf3, Qxf3 and Qg2 mate
After Qd6 Qxh2 isn't mate because white can play Qxh2.
thank you, how could i possibly miss that
The point of this puzzle is basically mind games, keeping you honest (like baseball pitchers, throwing a curveball, when its been all fastballs), some solutions are simple as this one is, but its difficult to play this continuation when it appears that white has many perpetual check opportunities.
I learned a loong time ago to never take lightly a pawn on the 6th rank.. its one step and queen!

text: Home > Business Walmart sues Visa for $5-B for rigging card fees Agence France-Presse Posted at Mar 28 2014 01:28 PM | Updated as of Mar 29 2014 01:50 AM Share Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Pinterest WASHINGTON - The world's largest retailer Walmart has sued credit card giant Visa for more than $5 billion for conspiring with banks to fix fees that merchants pay for accepting Visa card payments. In the suit filed this week in Arkansas, where Walmart is based, the retailer said Visa worked with some of the largest US banks "to illegally fix the interchange fees and inflate the network fees that Walmart and other merchants pay on Visa charge card transactions." It said that Visa and the banks as well worked together to set rules that prevent retailers from protecting themselves against such fees. Walmart said the banks agreed with Visa to establish one inflexible interchange rate regime, and suggested this prevents it from any ability to negotiate what would be a market rate. "Visa has used its price-fixing schemes to establish, maintain and enhance its long-held market power," said Walmart in the suit. The suit also accused Visa of issuing its cards with "inherently insecure" magnetic stripe technology, making it easy for thefts and fraud, and yet using its market power to shift the costs of fraud losses to merchants. Walmart said that even though it is the country's largest merchant, it could not just refuse to accept Visa cards, because that "would result in an unacceptable decrease in sales." Walmart said it had suffered "enormous damages" in excess of $5 billion between 2004 and 2012, the period covered in the suit. © 1994-2014 Agence France-Presse Share Facebook Share on Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Pinterest Read More: visa credit card WalMart /overseas/07/27/16/arizona-mother-two-kids-found-dead-in-apparent-murder-suicide/news/07/27/16/bishop-urges-pnp-target-big-fish-in-drug-war/news/07/27/16/curfew-sa-qc-tuloy-kahit-may-tro-mula-sc/news/07/27/16/arbitral-award-not-object-of-asean-meet-yasay/news/07/27/16/philippines-pushed-for-asean-statement-on-sea-ruling

Bioshock 2 delayed until 2010
Bioshock 2, the sequel to the best-selling underwater first-person-shooter from 2007, has been delayed by its publishers, Take-Two, to the first half of 2010. Originally it was due out in time for Christmas this year.
The game's pretty much finished, so why the delay? According to Take-Two chairman Strauss Zelnick, the company expects that releasing it next year will mean that it's "a better performing product in the marketplace".
"We concluded that moving the release of BioShock 2 into fiscal year 2010 was the right decision for the product", he said.
The company added that it wanted to polish things a little more too, so if you're eagerly awaiting the release then you've got that to cling to: "We felt that it was essential to invest the additional time to ensure that this title will deliver what its fans expect and deserve".

Offer - Dell' Ugo Gluten Free Chickpea Fusilli 300g
over 1 week *
61.7p per 100g
Product Description
The magic of Chickpeas
Chickpeas are a brilliant source of soluble fibre, high quality carbohydrate and protein.
Chickpeas have a low glycaemic load (or GI as it's more commonly known), so are great for weight loss and management as part of a calorie-controlled diet.
Paul Ugo's grandfather Luigi arrived in London in 1921 aged 14 on his 'gap' year from Italy. He fell in love with his wife, married and never looked back, setting up shop at 4, Gerrard Street, Soho in 1929 supplying pasta and noodles to local hotels and restaurants. Over the last eighty years, Ugo Foods has continued to supply the best traditional and innovative pastas to top hotels and retailers. We've won the most awards of any UK pasta supplier.
Chickpea Fusilli - The story
Ugo Foods has been making innovative pastas since the 1960's when our founder Luigi Ugo made gluten free pasta using barley and millet, supplying it to London's first vegetarian restaurant, Cranks, in Marshall Street, Soho. We first made pasta from chickpeas in the 1990's and, in different forms, it's been a firm favourite with our customers ever since. This fusilli, though, is our best yet.
In 2013 our Gluten Free Chickpea Fusilli won first place in the FreeFrom Foods awards innovation category. Thank you to Anthony Worrall Thompson, Cressida and the team at FreeFrom for the lovely certificate we now have on our wall.
A gluten-free helping hand
We know it can be a real pain if you're recommended to avoid gluten, that's why if you scan in our handy QR code it will take you straight to our webpage on tips, tricks and contacts to help you deal with gluten-free life.

bad taste and texture
This is not for people who like pasta. It has a texture that is very off putting and brakes into pieces when cooked even if you are careful not to ovecook

Over the coming days and weeks we'll be debating the 2012-13 Michigan basketball team with a number of people that cover the team daily. In a new feature called Ask the Beat we reached out to Michigan basketball beat writers to answer some of our questions about this year's team. Rod Beard of the Detroit News, Nick Baumgardner of MLive.com, Joe and Rob White of iSportsWeb all agreed to join up. Our first question looks at which of Michigan's departing rotation players will be missed the most this year. Which departing player – Zack Novak, Stu Douglass or Evan Smotrycz – will be missed the most in 2012-13? Rod Beard (Detroit News): Probably Novak, obviously for the leadership. He was a vocal leader and wasn't afraid to get riled up to try to motivate the team. They played for him and after the loss to Ohio in the NCAA tournament, the players were disappointed that they didn't win a game for Novak and Douglass.

Harris Acoustic Products Awarded Another SBIR
The Department of Homeland Security has recently awarded Harris Acoustic Products a $100,000 Phase-I Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) contract. The Phase-I contract is for the development of a buoy deployed sensor system that will track and provide advanced warnings on unidentified small vessels heading towards the US shores. Such vessels have to be detected while they are still in the open oceans and the situation needs to be assessed in a timely manner before the boats can blend in with coastal traffic. To be cost effective, the proposed passive acoustic detection system will be able to operate unattended for a long period of time and avoid a single point of failure. The system will be able to operate either in a stand-alone mode or as a node of a distributed system. To provide redundancy, relevant information will be communicated both by satellite and networked radio modems. During Phase-I, basic configuration of such a system will be established along with best methods to detect small vessels in an automated manner within a period of six months.
The present award is the fifth SBIR Phase-I award to Harris over the last three years. Other Harris SBIR sponsors are US Department of Agriculture, US Navy and the National Science Foundation. Harris is also working on a Phase-II SBIR grant by National Science Foundation. Collaborating with other industry partners and Academia, Harris is committed to develop new and innovative acoustic products and the current award is another step in that direction.
