In his first five weeks, King's ratings have surpassed those of his predecessor, Sandi Freeman, who was replaced when CNN decided not to renew her contract...
...viewer's eye. Upon striking a surface, each ray will be absorbed, reflected or transmitted in accordance with the laws of optics. Programmed with a mathematical model of the behavior of light rays, the machines can re-create lighting effects of dizzying complexity. Caltech's Jim Kajiya, for example, has used ray tracing to show how ripples travel through a reflecting pool...
