...tests with different types of wings and different trajectories, Wood hopes to correlate the movements and forces with the design space. “Our goals are to uncover patterns in the design space which lead to a particular performance and come up with simplified models of the fluid mechanics interactions, and to come up with design rules,” Wood said. Wood’s research is of interest to the Air Force as well as other Department of Defense agencies because an understanding of aeroelasticity could help the design of future MAVs, according...
...some ways, the app is superior to the Sonos remote since the iPhone/iPod Touch screens are so much brighter and the response so fluid. In others, it's worse. Since the app doesn't work in landscape mode, it's too narrow to show you all the relevant information; looking at a list of recommended albums for instance, gives you the name of the albums, but there's no room for the artists who recorded them...
...cruel irony: in an age when straight talk and authenticity are all anybody wants from writers, Updike is cursed with the unfashionable gift of eloquence. His prose is so effortlessly fluid, it gets him tagged as a lightweight, a silver-tongued devil: all art, no matter.

Forty years on, it'll still rock you back on your heels. How did people know about that stuff in 1963? They didn...
...also a weirdly innocent one. Slavery exists--a humane farmer named Jacob Vaark accepts Florens as payment for a bad debt--but A Mercy is not precisely a novel about slavery. When Florens enters Jacob's household, she finds not a rigid caste system based on race but a fluid, funky multicultural arrangement that includes not only Florens but also Jacob's wife, a Native American maid, two indentured servants and an orphan foundling. Their relationships with one another are flexible, and race is just one of any number of things that define them...
...Either way, Florida Republican Party Chairman Jim Greer felt compelled to convene a meeting of the party's state leadership in Tallahassee earlier this month to regroup. Sources say it yielded few solutions. A big GOP headache is Florida's ultra-fluid demographics. The state has one of the nation's largest hoards of independent voters, almost one-fifth of the electorate, EMS, and the centrist trend is creeping into once solid GOP bastions like Sarasota. Crossover Republicans like Geyer are news; but Sarasota Democrats can be just as averse to straight-ticket life. David Grain, 46, an African-American...
