Welcome Jacob Betts
Paul Zimmer - Narrow Path Ministries
on 4/13/13 - 7:20 PM
As a child, in my house, April meant Spring cleaning, and no one cleaned more thoroughly than my mom. She had my brother and I take furniture out of each room, so she could get to the nooks and crannies of every corner in the house, and then she'd have me use my baseball bat to beat the dust and sand from the rugs she meticulously stretched over the clotheslines. Spring cleaning was a ritualistic event, and there was one thing I could count on after a week of cleaning every room in the house, and that was that the house was as clean as it could possibly be. We'd repeat this event in the Fall, and right before Christmas.
Well, it is Spring, and this month's Trail Mix is a thorough prayer of cleansing that ALL of us need to do from time-to-time, or, in my case, time-to-time often means several times a day or week, especially when I am given over to the flesh within me. Anyway's, I couldn't think of a better prayer in the entire Bible to clean us from head to toe and from everything in-between, then Psalm 51. The remorseful Psalm of King David when he finally realized his sin with Bathsheba was totally not what God would have ordered for him.
I can only challenge each of you to prayerfully read this Psalm, and where its words are applicable, to ask the Holy Spirit to apply the cleansing to your heart and soul in order to present you before God, completely repentant and remorseful for the things in your live that have been committed by way of commission or commission, or both, so that you can stand before God righteous and ready to be used in a way the glorifies the Father with all aspects of your life.
Let's pray: "Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your steadfast love; according to the multitude of Your tender mercy and loving-kindness blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly [and repeatedly] from my iniquity and guilt and cleanse me and make me wholly pure from my sin! For I am conscious of my transgressions and I acknowledge them; my sin is ever before me.
Against You, You only, have I sinned and done that which is evil in Your sight, so that You are justified in Your sentence and faultless in Your judgment. Behold, I was brought forth in [a state of] iniquity; my mother was sinful who conceived me [and I too am sinful]. Behold, You desire truth in the inner being; make me therefore to know wisdom in my inmost heart.
Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall [in reality] be whiter than snow.
Make me to hear joy and gladness and be satisfied; let the bones which You have broken rejoice.
Hide Your face from my sins and blot out all my guilt and iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right, persevering, and steadfast spirit within me.
Cast me not away from Your presence and take not Your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and uphold me with a willing spirit.
Then will I teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners shall be converted and return to You.
Deliver me from blood guiltiness and death, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness (Your rightness and Your justice).
Open my lips, and my mouth shall show forth Your praise.
For You delight not in sacrifice, or else would I give it; You find no pleasure in burnt offering. My sacrifice [the sacrifice acceptable] to God is a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart [broken down with sorrow for sin and humbly and thoroughly penitent], such, O God, You will not despise. Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.
Then will You delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, justice, and right, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering; then bullocks will be offered upon Your altar."
Remember, the Path is Narrow, and Jesus told us it would have its difficulties. In 1 John 1:5-10, This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light and in him there is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him while we are walking in darkness, we lie and do not do what is true; but if we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he who is faithful and just will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."
Spring cleaning is necessary for all of us who travel across the Narrow Path; so allow the light of the Holy Ghost to enlighten you as He searches those nooks and crannies of your heart, spirit, language, thoughts and walk [life]. If it is true that confession is good for the soul, this month's Trail Mix should put some "pep back into your step!" as it reconnects you to the Father.

Shabbat Shalom!
Here is a word of encouragement from the scriptures to bless your weekend:
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Yahshua the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of Elohim. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of YaHWeH, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom YaHWeH loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, Elohim dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye fix my boots, and not sons. Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see YaHWeH: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of Elohim; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:) But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living Elohim, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to Elohim the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Yahshua the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve Elohim acceptably with reverence and fear: For our Elohim is a consuming fire.

on 3/03/13 - 8:43 PM
This months trail mix for your journey on the Narrow Path is titled "The Pain behind my Smile...is still comforted by His hand in mine" was prayerfully and meticulously prepared His help, for you....Enjoy!
The smile on my face doesn't mean my life is perfect! It does mean that I do appreciate what I have and what Jehovah Jireh has blessed me with! (author unknown) Selah~Shalom!
I can testify that this is a fact. My life has been QUITE far from perfect; however, through His eyes and love, I appreciate the good as well as the bad moments in my life; the valleys as well as the mountaintop experiences; the joyful expressions of "Hallelujah's" intermixed with "God, where are you, I'm hurting, and only you can relieve the pain?"
It goes without saying that the path I walk has had its difficulties and moments of complete and utter despair, but also there have been those times where I was led to drink from the springs and rivers so timely placed to refresh, revive and lift me up!
There have been moments of complete respite in your arms; and because of this peace and comfort, I can most assuredly say, "I would have it no other way."
This is exactly where I want to be, in both the good and bad times, because I know that it is my Savior and Shepherd who holds me by my hands through it all!
I have no doubt, whatsoever, that Romans 8:28 (We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose - RSV) is meant for each of us as we traverse the Narrow, yet difficult Path through life that leads to heaven...Shalom!
Now, always be hopeful....and go, and sin no more!

Introduction | Measurement | Comparisons | Conclusion |
Among its competitors in the compact category the Powershot S110 scores well, but considering that its predecessor the Powershot S100 scores better, at a lower price there seems to be little to justify this new model beyond a desire to be seen to be bringing out new product. The new 3" touch screen, replacing a 3" non-touch screen makes navigation of the controls tidier, and for some this will justify the new model, as will the 1 stop increase in the maximum ISO. The hike in the speed is only reflected in the interface however, with barely any actual gain in low light performance. On the converse, the facility to shoot high frame rate video for 'super slow motion' playback has been removed from the new model, something that might disappoint some users. The S100 also had a GPS device built-in, again, this is removed on the new model.
Since comparison between the S110 and its predecessor may leave you wanting to find a Powershot S100 to buy, perhaps it would be better to look at the S110 in comparison with a camera that scores much better while coming in only very slightly larger and heavier. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 with a DxO Mark score of 66 sets a high benchmark. It uses a much larger sensor, both in the number of pixels and in the overall measurements of the sensor and this is well reflected in the individual scores:
The additional cost of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 is more than justified in this comparison. Since the Sony is virtually the same size, just a little deeper front to back and weighs, 213g against 198g, the Canon S110 is clearly eclipsed alongside this very capable adversary.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Canon's Powershot S110 in an update on its previous Powershot S100, there are some improvements in the styling and user interface and an increase in the maximum ISO, which should be welcome for users working in low light. However the DxO Mark overall score fails to live up to its predecessor, so are the changes purely cosmetic? |

We each had a few chores to get done before we could kick back, and one we had in common was the laundry. She mentioned she liked to get hers done early in the summer, so the clothes dryer didn't heat up the house.
I mused about that as I started my own laundry.
About a time when doing the laundry was truly a chore.

We are a company run by and for writers and filmmakers.
Our objective is to find hot new writers whose careers we can help launch either at the studio or indie levels, or as TV writers (longform, sitcom, not reality). We also work with playwrights and have access to a number of major theaters in the US and England and also work with novelists, as we have access to most of the major publishers. We are particularly keen on comedy writers who can punch up existing material and catch the eye of a Showrunner.
The head of the company Alex Ross has attended over 980 pitch meetings at the studios, most of these with the heads of production. He is one of the few producers who has been able to walk in unproduced writers into meetings of that level.
The company specializes in working with new writers. Amongst others Alex discovered Andrew Niccol (Academy Nominated for THE TRUMAN SHOW) and Iris Yamashita (Academy nominated for LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA).
We take our job very seriously and will work with you in a very nurturing way to get you up to speed.
We work with some very well known and effective producers who are ready, willing and able to pay first time writers to option the right script. If they are interested you get to keep all of the option money - we do not charge a fee.
The winning project will be submitted to dozens of agencies and production companies in the US and Europe. The contest winner and their project will be promoted on our home page in prime territory, so that the hundreds of industry professionals who visit our site can take a look at it.
We guarantee the winner representation.
Notification: 5th of the month after the contest closes.
$2,400 in Cash and Prizes to the Winner.
1st Place: $200 Cash + $500 in prizes + Script Mentoring
2nd Place: $500 in prizes + Script Mentoring
3rd Place: $200 in prizes + Script Mentoring

As City Manager John Connet bade farewell to the city he said will always be his hometown, City Council members and staff expressed their gratitude for his "invaluable" leadership that breathed new life into the Sampson seat. The Council also moved forward in selecting a firm to find Connet's successor.
The selection of executive search firm Springsted to assist with the recruitment and selection of a new city manager was approved following a closed session at the end of Tuesday's Council meeting, which was Connet's final regular meeting as the city's manager.
Connet accepted the city manager post for the City of Hendersonville last month, beating out 85 other applicants for the position. He will serve his last day as Clinton's manager on May 24 and begin in the Hendersonville capacity May 28.
In his final regular meeting report to the board, a reflective Connet said his goodbyes.
"As I take a deep breath, I've prepared some comments as it relates to my report tonight and, in order to get through it, I'm going to have to read it, so bear with me," Connet began. "Dear Mayor Starling and City Council members, on July 1, 2002 I returned to Clinton after an 18-year absence to fulfill my goal of becoming city manager in the community I consider my hometown. Over the past 11 years we have accomplished many great things together."
He noted 2007's All-America City honor, the revitalization of downtown, the expansion of City Hall and the ability of the city to "maintain a sound budget in the toughest financial environment since the Great Depression." Connet said he was especially proud of the management team assembled to guide day-to-day operations for the city, a group who have always worked as a team to move Clinton forward.
"None of us are perfect, but we have learned together and tried hard not to make the same mistakes twice," said Connet. "We have built a strong team culture that will benefit the organization for many years to come."
Connet said there are many things that are left undone, many of which will be covered by a final transition memo the outgoing city manager said he will be preparing over the next couple weeks.
"However, I believe that I'm leaving the City of Clinton in a position that will allow you to continue down a path of meeting the vision and mission statements that are located on the wall behind me," said Connet. "I can confidently say this community is looked upon as a leader in this region and communities of greater size often call us for advice or guidance. This should make you proud."
Upon accepting his next managerial job, Connet said it was a great career opportunity for him and a great location to be closer to wife Lori's family after living more than four hours away for the past 14 years. He said it would be bittersweet. He said he would miss Clinton and that it would always have a special place in his heart.
On Tuesday, he said it would be the people he would miss most.
"There are many people that I must personally thank for their support and assistance, and I will attempt to contact all of you over the next couple weeks," said Connet. "However, time has a way of getting in the way, and I wanted to take this opportunity at my last formal City Council meeting to thank the mayor, City Council, Dale Johnson and citizens and staff for all your support and encouragement over the last 11 years."
"I am proud of what we've accomplished together," he continued. "Now, in conclusion and with deep regret, I must submit my resignation as city manager of Clinton effective May 24, 2013. I look forward to my final 17 days as your city manager and I hope you will allow me to continue to call Clinton my hometown."
"What if we don't accept it, Mr. Connet?" said Mayor Lew Starling, to laughs in the audience.
The mayor then offered his sincere thanks to Connet.
"Mr. Connet, what you have done for the city is invaluable," the mayor said, "and we can't thank you enough."
Several moments of silence passed as the two collected themselves.
"Thank you," said Connet. "It's been a pleasure."
Councilwoman Maxine Harris remembered a young Connet from when he was a schoolboy in Clinton. She, like others, said he would be sorely missed.
"I hate to see you go," said Harris. "I remember seeing you in the halls of Sampson Middle School in the seventh grade."
Clinton-Sampson planning director Mary Rose said the core values developed by the City Council are embodied by the city's "fearless leader" Connet.
"He's very approachable, he's very caring, ethical and forward-thinking. I appreciate all those values in Mr. Connet. He's also very patient, moreso with some of us — I'm referring to Mr. (Jeff) Vreugdenhil and myself — than others," Rose said.
She offered a quote she felt characterized Connet. "As Abraham Lincoln said, 'I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives, and I like to see a man live so that his place would be proud of him,'" Rose read. "I think that is very appropriate for this man. Thank you for all you've given to us."
Following Rose's comments, those in attendance gave Connet a standing ovation.
Resident Lindsay Peterson said when he came back to Clinton in 1976, he joined the Rotary Club and one of the first people he met was John Connet's father Pete Connet, who served as the city's manager from 1972 to 1984.
"I got to know Pete real well and I'm proud to say tonight that it's been a great privilege for me to have as my dear friend Pete Connet as my city manager and John Connet as my city manager," he said, addressing John. "Both of you are good men. It's been a pleasure."
While Tuesday was Connet's final regular meeting, a budget session scheduled for this Tuesday, May 14, is expected to be his last official meeting. Following a closed session Tuesday, the Council put into motion the process through which the city's next manager would be chosen.
Connet recommended hiring Sprinsted, one of three executive search firms being considered in the city manager search process.
"Based on my review of the proposals, I would recommend that the mayor and City Council hire Springsted," he said. "This recommendation is based on their experience with Clinton and the number of similar searches they have completed over the last several years."
The board approved. The cost is expected to be between $16,000 and $23,000 plus candidate travel expenses during interviews.

A person who dresses and acts like the opposite gender. That boy is a transvestite. He wears dresses, wigs, and heavy makeup.
1. | transvestite | ||
A cross dresser. Most transvestites are NOT homosexuals, however.
Official definition from the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language: A person who dresses and acts in a style or manner traditionally associated with the opposite sex. Joe is a transvestite, because he dresses like a girl.
Mary is a transvestite, because she dresses like a guy. |
2. | transvestite | ||
What i like to do in my spare time. What I consider myself. It's a personal thing but It's more like a hobby to me. I put on make-up, women's clothes, stockings, jewelry, womens underwear and other items in order to look and feel more like a woman. It can be a turn on and is a kinky past-time for anyone intersted in the adventurous. I love to dress up as a transvestite when i'm alone. I keep it a secret pasttime from my mom and brother.
3. | Transvestite | ||
A Cross Dresser
Someone who wears clothing from the opposite sex Shortened by many call them Trannie ''look at that transvestite go!''
4. | transvestite | ||
n. A transvestite is a man or woman who wears clothing of the opposite sex. Unlike the drag queen or draq king where the person is homosexual, a transvestite can be gay or straight.
Many tranvestites have a love of a particular type of clothing of the opposite sex, usually brought on by happy childhood memories of it. *Not to be confused with the transsexual. The transvestite down the street can always be seen wearing fluffy pink sweaters.
5. | transvestite | ||
A guy or girl wearing the opposite sexes clothing for pyciological reasons. If girls can wear what guys can wear then guys should be able to wear what girls can wear! Everyone should be transvestites!
6. | Transvestite | ||
Someone who cross-dresses, i.e dressing outside of gender. Sometimes done to look like a convincing member of the opposite sex ("passing"), sometimes not. Sometimes a secret, sometimes not. Nothing to do with sexuality. Not necessarily to do with desiring a sex change either. I can't believe there is no definition for transvestite on urban dictionary! Now's my chance...
John: Why is Adam wearing a dress and a wig? Does he want to be a woman? Carla: No, he's just a transvestite. He likes to cross dress. |

In the interest of full disclosure, let it be known that the author of this article is married to the Mayor.
No one got married at the Board of Trustees (BOT) meeting Monday night, but the Trustees and Staff did say good-bye to Lyons Substation Supervisor Sgt. Kevin Parker (the old) who in his last duty as Supervisor introduced the Board to his replacement, Sgt. Nick Goldberger (the new). Parker then made his exit, and Goldberger gave his first report to the Trustees. He reported that he had been on the new job for just under one day, and therefore didn't have much to report.
Under the hat of the Liquor Authority, it was then on to granting Town of Lyons a special event permit to host the next Chamber of Commerce social at the skating rink in Meadow Park. Since there is traditionally beer and wine served at these functions, and since it is being held in a Town park, the permit was needed. The measure was approved in short order with a 7 to 0 vote.

After living in western Pennsylvania for most of their lives, Jay and Elaine Hodge decided it was time for a change; time to live closer to a son, daughter-in-law, and grandson, as well as two sisters who had all relocated to the Front Range of Colorado. Hodge decided to take the work experience he had accumulated in the foundry business and as a human resource officer, and apply it to the wine, spa, special events, and guest accommodations business. As a result, we have a new owner at the Rock n River Resort just outside of Lyons.

Folks of all ages, from crawlers to sitters (including some entertaining young people), came together earlier on January 19 at "Motown and More" to let it all hang out in Smokin' Dave's Log Cabin. Besides the usual couples and solo dancers, people joined in for some lively group dances, threading about from one to another in medleys. It was a time to be with friends and neighbors; old, new, and people who have been here twenty years but never met.

Appalachian State never trailed in its contest Saturday against Western Carolina, beating the Catamounts 74-65 in Boone.
Nathan Healy had a career-high 24 points, grabbed eight rebounds and added a career-best seven steals to help the Mountaineers capture its ninth win of the season and fifth win in the Southern Conference.
The Mountaineers held an 11-point lead with under 10 minutes left in the game, but a big scoring run from Western brought them to within just one point with two minutes remaining.
Four points from Healy and a three-pointer from Jay Canty in the final 1:30 of the game put the final touches on this big rivalry win.
App State holds the overall lead in the series with WCU. The Mountaineers are 112-67 all-time against the Catamounts.
After Healy's 24 points, App State got 19 points and five assists from Canty, nine points from Jamaal Trice off the bench, eight points from Tab Hamilton and six points from Tevin Baskin. The hot-shooting Mountaineers hit 53-percent of its shots from the field, including 7-14 from behind the three-point arc.
On the other hand, the Catamounts struggled shooting all night long, particularly from three-point range. WCU shot just 41-percent overall and just 30-percent from the three-point line.
Trey Sumler was the high scorer for the visiting team with 21 points. James Sinclair scored 17 and Tawaski King added nine points.
Western saw its record fall to 8-14 overall an 5-5 in the SoCon.
This week, the Mountaineers face a pair of tough games on the road. App travels to Statesboro to take on Georgia Southern on Thursday before turning right around and heading to conference-leading Davidson on Saturday.

$10K GPU Challenge
Posted 30 December 2008 - 04:55 PM
Just wanted to let you know about a contest my company is having for Game Developers. The contest is to develop a GPU based grid viewer. We are offering prizes of $5,000, $3,000, $1,000 and two Ipod Touches. One of the primary objectives is to find an appropriate developer or developers that our company would hire full time.
For more details checkout our website, terms and conditions, and FAQ at

To develop a DirectX grid viewer program which implements a FAST and auto-sorting multiple column list view user interface control.
MySQL is pretty fast. Why bother with running it on the CPU, other than mental masturbation?
Maybe they want to weed out the applicants who would think it's a good idea?

I've been looking around trying to find out what company this is, and I have only found 1 that fits the profile, even their slogan reeks of "we have buzzwords and fancy colors!" :)
Posted 31 December 2008 - 02:41 PM
I have no problem with the contest itself, though. If you think in MVC pattern terms, they are trying to move the "V" to the card, and leave the "M" and "C" on the CPU, all under DirectX9 for broad compatibility. They seem to be authors of trading software, and so would like to solely offload the "V" to a card such that more CPU crunching can be reserved for trading processing.
Although, I wonder how much time is spent in the "V" part (rendering and refreshing basically) versus the "C" part (where all the business rules, sorting, etc, would be). Presumably, they've run their numbers.
Also, I'm sure there's already a DirectX9 gridview out there already. I'm sure I've seen one...

Cos, tbh, if they put such a task out to contract I could viably ask for 2-4 times that amount to write the code. They are blatantly trying to save money and, proper, taking the piss with their rules.
Each to their own, i guess. For $40K I'll write them a properly working and tested version. Will they pay it? I doubt it and thats where THEY win and everyone who enters the competition loses.
Btw ... It'd be better to write the solution using Cuda or OpenCL. Using DirectX is attacking a screw with a hammer (Wrong tool for the job).

Edit: Whops, sorry. I misread OpenCL for OpenGL! Well, they do answer that question in their faq.
While we are very impressed with CUDA and may look to develop server side technology using CUDA, it is not an appropriate technology for our target audience or this challenge, so therefore we did not ask for its use. If you have suggestions or experience with CUDA please put it on the submission form or feel free to email us directly with your suggestions.

That doesn't explain the anonymity to me. They could still be public, even play it up for PR, and many desperate or ignorant people would run in for the sheer fact that it is a contest...
Goz said:
Why would CUDA be better? There is no gain in parallelizing to GPU hardware the render of a simple 2D grid, is there? Or, do they want a Minority Report-ish grid that's all sizzle, little steak?
Heck, a good, lean GDI+ grid would be enough. Personally, I think that's the fundamental flaw with their contest. I'm assuming they want a "fast offloaded" grid for some trading app. But, without good reqs, most contestant will build a "everything-and-kitchen-sink" DirectX control, complete with a lot of overhead, when a "just right" GDI+ control would probably be just as fast for a dinky grid view.
But, given the paucity of information for their fishing expedition, I could be very wrong...

"Ha ha, fooled you, you get nothing while we still sell your application as our own. It's been nice doing business with you"
Seriously though, I agree with the rest here. Even if you win, you lose. $5,000 is a ripoff. Unless of course you patent your application first, so when they want to use your app you can ask for big-time royalties. Even thoug I'm against software patents.
.edit: gosh darn, they already thought of that.
Btw, I seriously doubt the usefulness of the application. They say a 10-20ms delay is unacceptable, and they want to speed that up. Thereby totally neglecting the fact that a computer monitor, usually operating at 60Hz, refreshes the screen at 16.667ms intervals. Also, I don't think the actual drawing is a bottleneck here, and GPU's aren't that good in sorting.

These guys are high on my crackpot index! Bullshit-Bingo at it's best.
I had a lot of fun so far. To push it even further consider this: Nerve-impulses travel with approx. 10 feet/second (3 meters per second). Let's assume the distance between your cortex and your finger is 80 cm.
It would takes no less than 260 milliseconds between decission and finger movement. Add in perception time and good old thinking and you're up to half a second. In the meantime we've repainted the screen about 30 times, and the data is totally outdated. Oh Fuck! We're screwed!
And just to make sure: Before all the fast typers and musicans chime in and say they can move their fingers faster: Sure you can, but muscle memory is a different thing. It's connected more to the instinct/reflex than the decission. Also we humans can queue up multiple actions in the nerves before they happen, and the fingers just "replay it".
That's how we're able to play 20 notes/second on a guitar or type chars/second on the keyboard. All guiarrists that tried to increase the speed know that there is a speed barrier that can't be broken by thinking but just by repeative practice.
Back to the topic: Since the guys who started the competition say 20ms is unacceptable. This might be an explanation about the current financial crisis at last. Anyway, Let's for a moment pretend that supernatural guys are sitting behind the monitors, they can deal with such a high refresh rate and the problem is not only academic...
How would you approach it? One million updates/second is quite a lot. std::sort won't do it. Thinking out loud, my first approach would look like this:
- We may have a million of changes per second, but we only display the top 50 of the results, so it's not nessesary to sort them all.
- I'd use a near-sorting algorithm to break the O(n log n) barrier. For 10^6 elements the log-part of the time-complexity *is* significant. Radix-Sort may work but will be memory bound for such a large dataset. Pro for Radix-Sort: Stock-symbols are 4 chars long, so we can work them into a 32 bit dword and sort them via 4 radix8 passes in in O(n).
Anyway, near-sorting will get us into the sub-linear time complexity. We don't get sorted data, but we will get "somewhat" sorted data with a known error bound.
- Since we only display - let's say - 50 entries at a time, and since we know the error bound of the near-sorting (let's say epsilon=2) we only can grab the chunk of pre-sorted data that includes - even in the worst case - all the 50 lowest elements. For a epsilon=2 that would be 100 elements.
- Now we sort these humble 100 elements and display the first 50 of them. Job done! Even bouble-sort would be fast enough for the final sorting step. Good old GDI will be more than fast enough for the display as well.
Without having made a test implementation I'd say a update rate (including sorting and display) of 5ms is realistic. If that's not enough we can run the sort/display thing on one thread and list-update on another. That'll cut the time in half. The last thing I need to do this job fast is a GPU.
Any comments?
Btw - about the basics and the idea of near-sorting wikipedia has something to say:
The original paper is linked from the bottom of the page and even contains example-code... (Ain't Bernard Chazelle a genious, guys?)

Hello everyone. This challenge is merely to prove a concept. Even an extremely polished submission would be no where near a finished product that could be sold. While the task is challenging, we believe it is possible to increase performance using the GPU. If you can do this please register, this is what we are looking for.

Students at Wagram Primary School have joined a nationwide effort to help restore a sense of security following the recent tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary
The students and staff at the Scotland County school are taking part in "Helping Hands for Newtown." The project allows participants to create hand prints on paper and decorate it however they wish. Each student is asked to add his or her name, city or town and school.
Once the helping hands are collected, a team of volunteers will string them together and hang them in the halls of a new school facility.
Organizers say the goal is simple: to let the student of Newton know that they are not alone and are loved and safe.
For people of any age, regaining a sense of security after surviving violence can take a long time. They're at risk for lingering anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder.
But psychiatrists say most of Newtown's young survivors probably will cope without long-term emotional problems. The Dec. 14 shootings were mostly in two classrooms of the Connecticut elementary school, which has about 450 students through fourth-grade.
"Kids do tend to be highly resilient," said Dr. Matthew Biel, chief of child and adolescent psychiatry at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital told USA Today.
The hand prints will likely be hung at the former Chalk Hill Middle School in Monroe, about 8 miles away from Newtown. The two-story building has been empty since a new middle school opened next door last year. Newtown Superintendent of Schools Janet Robinson said classes would commence Jan. 2
In addition to helping hands, gifts of all kinds have been pouring into Newtown, enough to fill up four shipping containers.
Authorities say Adam Peter Lanza, 20, is accused of fatally shooting 20 children and six adult staff members and wounded two at the school.Before driving to the school, officials say he shot and killed his mother, Nancy Lanza, at their Newtown home After killing the students and staff members, Lanza committed suicide by shooting himself in the head as first responders arrived.

Hi guys,
I'm saying which one is better F-16 or F-15 but I think the capabilities of F-15 are much better than the F-16. Can you help me figure out which one is better?

Well for start up sounds and cool procedure at start up, the F-15 has it all.
The signals and movement between the crew chief and the pilot and then the little jet fuel starter (JFS) ( a turbine in between the two engines starts up )
That is a cool sound, then after that is up to speed, the pilot starts the first engine. A big workload is now placed on the JFS and it starts this wonderful assending turbine sound in sreaming bursts, each burst higher and higher until it gets up to full speed. Then the engine starts spinning, lights, and gets up to speed. Once the first engine gets up to speed, and as that sound peaks out (cool sound number 2 ) Then the JSF make this long desending sound back down to idle ( cool sound number 1 desending while cool sound number 2 assends up to speed.) After a while the pilot does the start up on the second engine and the JFS sreams back up to full speed again and after the second engine is up to speed, the JSF will spool back down to idle ( both the sounds the JSF make are things that belong in the best of movies for dramatic effect ). This is even more cool when it is a couple jets pulling alert and there is a reason for them to start up. There are a whole bunch of other things too like the intake ramps moving to the full down positon. All that combined with the whole event really makes it a bit more dramatic then most jets.
Really cool sounds. Some of the better jet sounds there are. The F-16 just doesn't have quite that impact.

, so what you're saying is that, while the F-15 is starting up #2 and the ground crew is all ooh-aah over the sounds, the single engine F-16 is already at last chance waiting to take off???

Yeah sure something like that
Back to the topic, there is already some stuff out there on the internet on these two jets for A2A but a few short thoughts:
F-15.... Fuel to burn: example; running out on an alert, ( burn off 2 or 3 drop tanks and worst case, punch those off and still have a good amount of internal fuel) This fuel economy is also good for positioning/disengaging etc.
BVR both should be almost equal although an F-15 presents a bigger radar target.
WVR- F-16 is harder to see/keep a tally on, not so with the F-15
Never take lightly the ability of the F-15 to turn and burn in WVR. It can do it, just not to the nth degree that the F-16 can. Not always an issue if the F-16 in question is carrying a lot of stuff in friendly BFM.
USAF F-15 A-D community. All they do is air to air training. Thats it. Pilots will tell you that this is a perishable skill and needs to be done often. F-16s have a FULL training schedulel that includes air-to-ground, so they get less practice AND it isn't that often the practice includes BFM with a clean jet. Drop tanks, ECM Pod, LANTIRN or LITENING Pod etc etc are more the norm. Many times the BFM exercise involves the F-16 not just doing air-to-air but the goal is to accomplish their A2G mission. The F-15 is added to the mission planning to provide F-16s training time in how to go against an A2A threat AND press on and do their primary mission. Both sides get something out of the training for sure. So the friendly match ups aren't always what the casual jet enthusiast expects. The USAF F-15 A-D community has seen every trick you can throw at them and are very aware of what they, themselves can't and shouldn't do in BFM. Because that is all they train for, that can make them hugely annoying to the multi-role jet community that they fly against. "We'll yeah... thats all you guys train for... we have a real job... "
F-16. Way cheaper to operate and support.

Our F-16's from Vermont fly against the F-15's out at Cape Cod, MA all the time. Have seen many a hud tape of their F-15's getting hosed, over and over again.
I do believe in all honesty though that the F-15's have to fight with a few restrictions to make it a fair fight. Their radar can reach out and touch you at greater distances than ours can. But on the other side of the coin, once the F-15 and the F-16 get into the knife fight, the F-16 is a much more nibble fighter.
Also depends of the stick actuator in the cockpit. If the pilot does not know how to fly his aircraft to the full extent to his flight envelope, his will suck in either jet.

As a Viper Driver, we spank the sh*t out of those twin tailed fags all the time in the BFM realm since I can get a tally on them way the hell out there because they're so damn big. The only problem is getting to the merge and as it's been said on this already. The light greys are air-air pros since that's all they do although we still give them a run for their money.

Just out of curiosity; what would be typical restrictions imposed on F-15s to make an F-15 vs F-16 fight fair ?
Mil power only is actually the only one I could come up with ...
Posted: Nov 01, 2003 - 03:41 AM
maybe the F-15 couldn't use its long range radar to engage the viper
I do believe in all honesty though that the F-15's have to fight with a few restrictions to make it a fair fight. Their radar can reach out and touch you at greater distances than ours can.

This topic has been a long time coming, and I'm glad it's finally arrived. Now, let's get down to it.
1. Is faster
2. Has greater range / combat persistence
3. Great radar
4. Can carry a whole lot of AA missiles
5. Built to be an interceptor
6. Large / easy to spot
7. Incredibly large radar - cross section
8. Can turn, but not like the F-16
1. Smaller and lighter
2. Later versions have excellent range
3. At least decent radar
4. Can carries an equally impressive warload of AA missiles if need be
5. Can turn on a dime
6. Built to be a dogfighter
7. Relatively small RCS
8. Much cheaper, even in the later variants
9. Has great acceleration, but lower max. speed & rate of climb
10.Isn't as good at highter altitudes
11.On average, radar usually isn't as good as F-15
The overall winner: the F-16. F-16s can turn tighter, are harder to spot, and can also reach out and touch an enemy with their AMRAAMs practically just as easily as the Eagle. Also, in topics such as this, pilot skill is usually mentioned, but aren't we talking about the capabilities of the aircraft, not their pilots? I mean, I know pilots are important and all, but shouldn't we take the stance of equally - skilled pilots going up against one another so that we can just look at the planes' abiliites themselves? Any thoughts?

Like I said. In the future, when more jets do high-off-boresight heaters. The turning to the nth degree, won't mean much. IMO the pilots issue does matter. As mentioned many times before, these are exercises. No one
to go up against an F-16 in real life. If they do, they are crazy
There is a real good chance it can be your last day. Of course a lot of this is mutual support. Mutual support is definately at the top of the list of things that will keep you alive.
You might want to consider the ability of the 18 "v2" F-15s up in Alaska, to be added you your exercise. They have quite the radar outfit. I am sure a lot of its ability isn't public consumption.

The APG-63(v)2 gives the Eagle unparalleled ability to "reach out and touch someone" in the BVR arena. A smart Eagle driver with a v2 need never get close enough to a Viper (or anyone/anything else) to worry about what happens after the merge. A peek at the APG-63(v)2:
http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/d ... 992202.htm
and extracted from
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ ... design.htm
is this:
In December 2000 Boeing Company delivered to the US Air Force the final three of 18 F-15C aircraft it refitted with Raytheon's APG-63(v)2 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar, providing the Air Force the world's first operational fighter jets with the advanced-technology radar system. The AESA radar has an exceptionally agile beam, and provides nearly instantaneous track updates throughout the field of vision. Other benefits of the radar include enhanced multi-target tracking capability and elimination of the need for a hydraulic system. Addition of AESA technology substantially increases pilot situational awareness, while enhancing reliability and maintainability. The AESA radar allows the pilot to detect, track and destroy multiple enemy aircraft at significantly longer ranges. The AN/APG-63(V)2 is compatible with current F-15C weapon loads, features upgraded identification-friend-or-foe and environmental control systems, and enables pilots to take full advantage of AIM-120 Advanced Medium Range Missile capabilities. It can simultaneously guide multiple missiles to several targets widely spaced in azimuth, elevation, or range.
The AN/APG-63(V)2 is a major radar upgrade for the US Air Force F-15C aircraft. Retaining controls and displays nearly identical to those of its predecessor, the AN/APG-63(V)1, the new system adds an active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar to proven AN/APG-63(V)1 radar components. In an AESA system, the traditional mechanically scanning radar dish is replaced by a stationary panel covered with an array of hundreds of small transmitter-receiver modules. Unlike a radar dish, these modules have more combined power and can perform different detection, tracking, communication and jamming functions in multiple directions simultaneously. An AESA offers greater precision to detect, track and eliminate multiple threats more quickly and effectively than traditional radar. Because the AESA eliminates the hydraulic and electrical systems associated with mechanically operated radars, its reliability and maintainability are dramatically improved.

Question, does F-15 really enjoy such an advantage in radar? Last time I checked, the latest Block F-16s, like the 52+ or 60s, have an AESA as well, don't they? Can anyone confirm?

One of the primary design factors in the frontal area of a jet fighter is the size of it's radar antenna. Compare the size (diameter) of the radome of an F-15 and an F-16, and even an Su-27 and Su-30.
Yes, AESA is planned for F-16 radars but I don't know if it will be exported, which means Blk 52+ and 60 may not have AESA.
Japan developed its own radar for the F-2 (FS-X) and IIRC it is AESA.

We use premium grade fragrance oil made specifically for use in candles and engineered for maximum scent release. Our wicks are 100% natural cotton, and we hand pour every single candle. Don't mess with those store-bought "scented" candles — they do everything they can to make the scent smell great when it is not burning, only to have it be completely lost when you light the candle.
Right now we do not sell tealights, votives, or pillars. We only use tin cans for containers and we specialize in making the best scented candles available. Our creations only use scents that have been rigorously tested and that have been made for use in our soy and palm wax.
So take a look around and click on the "Store" link, or on one of the images above to view what we have to offer.

Does Evolutionary Psychology Explain Why We Believe in God? Part 1
When we look across times and cultures and find very similar beliefs concerning the nature of physical, biological, and psychological reality, those similarities cry out for some explanation. Since these different individuals have a very diverse range of experience, something other than common experience alone just might account for the similarities of belief. In some cases we can fairly conclude that there is a common nature – some fundamental similarity in how human cognition works – that underlies broadly shared beliefs.
Series: Genesis Through Ancient Eyes
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
Series: Shaping the Human Soul
In Washington DC, Church of the Advent teamed up with The Trinity Forum to offer a series of lectures exploring the synergy between modern science and Christian Faith. This presentation by psychiatrist Curt Thompson and philosopher James K.A. Smith addressed the process of Christian discipleship and spiritual formation through the lens of neuroscience.
Dispatches From the Physicalist Frontier, Part 1
I'm a physicalist when it comes to human persons. I believe, in other words, that we are wholly physical objects. I don't believe there are non-physical souls in the natural world. So I don't believe that we are or have such non-physical souls as parts. I believe we are through-and-through physical.
Rediscovering Human Beings, Part 1
That we are animals is something we hardly needed Darwin to tell us. It is obvious from the fact that, like other animals, we have stomachs and skin, eyeballs and ears, limbs and teeth, muscles, brains, and other organs. Yet it doesn't follow that we are mere animals.
Body and Soul, Mind and Brain: Pressing Questions
"Bit by experimental bit," writes philosopher P. Churchland, "neuroscience is morphing our conception of what we are." For many, this includes dispensing with the "soul" in favor of biologically anchored processes.
Southern Baptist Voices: A Response to John Hammett, Part 1
The Scriptures teach that we human beings have been created in God's image. What does that mean? I am in substantial agreement with Dr. Hammett on this question.
Series: He Who Has Ears
Scholar and musician Jeff Warren addresses the questions of how music is meaningful, and where that meaning resides, by looking at the popular ideas that musical meaning is entirely subjective to the listener and that the meaning of music can be universal. He also explores the recent trend of attempting to explain music via neuroscience. Finally, he looks into the reasons why music continues to play such a critical role in the worshiping life of the Church.
Revealing God's Nature
In today's video, Brian McLaren discusses the value of considering Scripture in light of the cultures that surrounded them. The Biblical writers were aware of the myths of the power nations that surrounded them, but flipped their stories on their heads to reveal truth about God.
Seeing the Flood Story Through an Ancient Israelite Lens
Pete Shaw highlights the story of Noah to explore how the story would have been understood in ancient times and from there he goes on to explore how we might consider it today.
Thomas Aquinas: Saint of Evolutionary Psychologists?
Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) was the foremost Christian scholar of the High Middle Ages and is today regarded as a "doctor" of the Catholic Church. No, Aquinas was not a materialist neuroscientist, but he understood the intimate interdependence of mind and body.
Series: From the Dust
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
Series: Science and Faith at the Movies: AI
In this series filmmaker Brian Godawa looks at the Stephen Spielberg movie A.I.. Godawa begins by summarizing the plot of A.I., explaining that a boy robot, raised in a human family, goes on a quest to find a mythical blue fairy who he believes will convert him into a "real boy." The author goes on to highlight the philosophical and theological issues raised by the film, such as "the idea that we all live in a materialistic universe" and that meaning does not exist in reality but is rather created by complex machines.
Form and Content
A theological belief can grow in our minds unobserved for years, the results of many imperceptible influences, until the full flower bursts into conscious thought.
Series: Mesopotamian Cosmic Geography in the Bible
In this six part series, Brian Godawa takes a closer look at cosmography and its relationship to the Bible. After defining cosmography as a theory that describes features of the heavens and the earth, he relates how his own views about the universe have shifted. He then continues to talk about the Mesopotamian cosmography that is so consistently reflected in Scripture. This view of the universe includes aspects such as the firmament, the pillars, the underworld, the heavens above, the watery abyss. He then explains how one understands these concepts in terms of modern scientific thought.
Beware Evolutionary 'Just-so' Stories About Religious Belief
As an evolutionary biologist I am fascinated by the emergence of cognitive abilities that make us so distinctive from other living species. There are, however, risks in making up evolutionary "just-so" stories to explain the origins of complex human beliefs.
On the Creation Account
To understand and apply Genesis 1 correctly, we have to consider issues of genre and intention. Too often these chapters are read as if they present a purely straightforward historical and even scientific account of cosmic and human origins.
Are We More Than Bodies?
C.S. Lewis brought these ideas powerfully to life in his fiction. In The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Eustace declares, "In our world, a star is a huge ball of flaming gas." The fallen star Ramandu replies, "Even in your world, my son, that is not what a star is, but only what it is made of."
Science, Scripture, and the Creation Narrative
In these two brief video Conversations, John Walton discusses the problem of trying to integrate ancient scripture with our modern worldview.
The Second Creation Story and "Atrahasis"
Atrahasis is important to biblical scholars because of it similarity to Genesis 2-9. Both stories share a similar storyline: creation, population growth and rebellion, flood. They also share some important details within that storyline.

[LESS INFO] 626 VIEWS | ADDED 15:10:00 08/05/11 When marine biologist Roger Hanlon captured the first scene in this video he started screaming. He studies camouflage in cephalopods--squid, octopus and cuttlefish. They are masters of optical illusion and these are some of Hanlon's top video picks of the animals going in and out of hiding.
[LESS INFO] 458 VIEWS | ADDED 15:10:00 07/29/11 A rooftop farm in Brooklyn grows vegetables and doubles as a green roof, insulating the warehouse below. Green roofs save money on cooling and heating costs and also retain water, reducing the load on sewer systems. Annie Novak, head farmer and co-founder of Eagle Street Rooftop Farm gives us a tour.
[LESS INFO] 553 VIEWS | ADDED 15:10:00 07/22/11 Cilia--the little hairs that propel a paramecium--flap spontaneously, and will synchronize their movements with neighboring cilia. But exactly why they do this has been hard to pinpoint because cilia are complicated structures. So researchers fabricated knockoffs, with fewer components, to see if they could figure out what drives the waving.
[LESS INFO] 516 VIEWS | ADDED 15:10:00 07/15/11 Just Bulbs, on New York City's Upper East Side, sells just bulbs. There are 36,000 different kinds of lightbulbs in the store, says owner David Brooks. And although customers regularly rail about how compact fluorescent bulbs are ugly, Brooks argues that they've been unfairly maligned. They come in six color temperatures and a wide variety of shapes and sizes.
[LESS INFO] 414 VIEWS | ADDED 15:10:00 07/08/11 Malcolm Beck was farming organically in the 1950s, and that's how he got into compost. What started out as a little manure pile on his farm became a 40-acre compost-processing business five decades later. Beck sold his company, Garden Ville, but still works there and is constantly experimenting with different fertilizer formulas--from bat guano to earthworm tea.
[LESS INFO] 469 VIEWS | ADDED 15:10:00 07/01/11 Humpbacks whales blow bubbles around schools of fish to concentrate them for easier capture. Although this hunting technique, called bubble-net feeding, has been documented for decades, just how whales make the nets wasn't well-understood until now, says biologist David Wiley.
[LESS INFO] 521 VIEWS | ADDED 15:10:00 06/24/11 In the basement of Staten Island Technical High School, a group of students meets regularly to build and invent. Their award-winning wheelchair prototype can spin in circles and has a built-in massage function.
[LESS INFO] 629 VIEWS | ADDED 15:10:00 06/10/11 Build them the right home and cells will organize themselves into a tissue, says bioengineer Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic. We stopped by the lab to see a little piece of beating heart muscle they grew in the lab and keep in an incubator in the corner.
[LESS INFO] 561 VIEWS | ADDED 15:10:00 06/03/11 Using the Swedish Solar Telescope, a ground-based observatory, Goran Scharmer and colleagues probe the penumbra--that's the stringy structure around the perimeter of the dark part of a sunspot.
[LESS INFO] 506 VIEWS | ADDED 15:10:00 05/27/11 Tongues are important, biologists say. Two recent studies explore tongue design and function--how they are used for lapping by dogs and for nectar retrieval by hummingbirds.
[LESS INFO] 491 VIEWS | ADDED 15:10:00 05/20/11 Theoretical physicist and futurist Michio Kaku takes us on a tour of his office, where he writes his bestsellers and records his radio shows. The futuristic 1950s TV show Flash Gordon jump-started his interest in science. Watching it as a kid, Kaku realized that it was the problem-solving scientist, not the chiseled crimefighter Flash, who was really the hero.
[LESS INFO] 472 VIEWS | ADDED 15:10:00 05/13/11 A magnifying glass looks harmless. But combine it with a nice sunny day and you have a weapon of ant destruction and a fire hazard. Even if cheap pyrotechnics isn't your thing, the optics of how this works is relevant to anyone with eyes.
[LESS INFO] 522 VIEWS | ADDED 15:10:00 05/06/11 In 1968, the New Jersey Senate decreed the town of Franklin a geological wonder: "The Fluorescent Mineral Capital of the World." Over 350 different minerals have been found in the area, ninety of which glow brilliantly under ultraviolet light.
[LESS INFO] 446 VIEWS | ADDED 15:10:00 04/29/11 Drop a clump of fire ants into water and they will assemble into a raft that stays afloat for weeks, according to a new study. In other breaking bug news, researchers are investigating how caterpillars roll away from prey as inspiration for the design of a jointless, soft-bodied robot.
[LESS INFO] 432 VIEWS | ADDED 15:10:00 04/22/11 Astronauts are allowed to bring special "crew preference" items when they go up in space. NASA astronaut Don Pettit chose candy corn for his five and a half month stint aboard the International Space Station. But these candy corn were more than a snack, Pettit used them for experimentation.
[LESS INFO] 144 VIEWS | ADDED 15:10:00 04/22/11 About ten years ago, two scientists had a little extra time on board NASA's low gravity aircraft and came up with the idea of popping water balloons. Mechanical engineers Seth Lichter, of Northwestern University, and Mark Weislogel, of Portland State University, use the floating water balls to explain some basic principles of physics.
