To the list of life's vexing choices--timeless dilemmas like paper or plastic, and tastes great versus less filling--basketball adds pass or shoot. For most of his career at the University of Texas sophomore point guard T.J. Ford fell consistently on the first side of that divide. With Ford finally lifting his eyes to the rim, Texas has lifted itself in the polls. For reclaiming the point guard position in all its old-fashioned purity, for giving the Longhorns chemistry to match their depth, for reconfiguring the balance of power in the Big 12 and for flouting the Samson legend, Ford is "Sports Illustrated"'s Player of the Year.

Direct numerical simulation (DNS) for flow separation and transition around a NACA-0012 airfoil with an attack angle of 4° and Reynolds number of 100,000 has been reported in our previous paper. The details of flow separation, formation of the detached shear layer, Kelvin–Helmholtz instability (inviscid shear layer instability) and vortex shedding, interaction of nonlinear waves, breakdown, and re-attachment are obtained and analyzed. The power spectral density of pressure shows the low frequency of vortex shedding caused by the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability still dominates from the leading edge to trailing edge. Based on our understanding on the flow separation mechanism, we try to reveal the mechanism of the flow separation control using blowing jets and then optimize the jets. DNS simulations for flow separation control by blowing jets (pulsed and pitched and skewed jets) are reported and analyzed. The effects of different unsteady blowing jets on the surface at the location just before the separation points are studied. The length of separation bubble is significantly reduced (almost removed) after unsteady blowing technology is applied. The mechanism of early transition caused by the blowing jets was found. A blowing jet with K–H frequency, sharp shape function (very small mass blowing), pitching and skewing obtained the best efficiency based on the increase of the ratio of lift over drag and decrease of blowing mass flow. In this work, a DNS code with high-order accuracy and high-resolution developed by the computational fluid dynamics group at University of Texas at Arlington is applied. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

The article reports that newspapers in Arlington, Texas and northern Florida are two examples of suburban-ring newspapers started as weekly community papers, to fluorish into daily, paid-circulation papers with color capability in the last year. The paper has increased paid circulation to 15,000, publishes six days, excluding Sunday, and still samples potential subscribers with free editions. According to Duane L. Chichester, they enhanced the credibility of the paper in the eyes of advertisers by switching to paid circulation.
