They say that in America, you can be anything you want to be. True enough. And from where we sit, that even extends to Corvettes. Svelte sports car, big-block superpower, pedigreed road racer, street profiler, sparkling showstopper, vintage classic, dragstrip terror, world-class supercar, top-end speedster, kitschy street machine-Corvette does 'em all. For that matter, Corvette can beautifully blend any of the two.
Take this '61 that we're calling "Z Whiz." Have you ever seen vintage styling and modern technology so perfectly blended? Richard Carlson had the original vision and commissioned Time Machines in Hudson, Florida, to build the car. Corvette rodding being a personal thing and all, it's easy to color outside the lines, so to speak, and lean a bit too far one way or the other, causing the car to be off-balance. But we don't have that problem here. In fact, if there's an award for the best Corvette rod (we should start one if there isn't), this '61 should be a finalist.
Maybe we shouldn't be that surprised, given that Time Machines is a veteran builder of vintage cars with modern chassis and drivetrains. This shop specializes in this sort of thing. For this project, the crew started with an SRIII Motorsports' round-tube chassis made specifically for C4 components. SRIII specializes in custom frames for just such occasions.
Next came the 375hp LT5 engine and driveline out of a '92 ZR1 Corvette. In case you've been backpacking in Botswana for the last decade, the LT5 is the DOHC four-valve 5.7L V-8 out of the exotic, limited-production ZR1. It was renowned for its wide powerband and the way it would pull way up into the high revs. Chevrolet has marched relentlessly forward in the quest for ever-greater horsepower, but those relative few who've had the pleasure of piloting a ZR1 know it was something special. Stainless Works headers feed into a Flowmaster exhaust with rear dumps.
To squeeze even more power and driveability out of the engine, it was fitted with an Accel DFI computer and wiring harness, allowing custom fuel mapping, which was programmed by injection ace Bob Ream from Imagine Injection in Phoenix. To keep the engine in the sweet spot of the powerband, a genuine GM-issued Tremec T56 six-speed out of an LS1 Camaro was chosen as the transmission and fitted with a Hurst shifter. It was reworked inside and made ready to handle the ZR1's power. The clutch being a key component between a high-powered engine and six-speed transmission, a McLeod clutch and pressure plate were selected, along with a hydraulic throw-out bearing.
Most of the rearend is stock C4, but the center was rebuilt and fitted with 3.73:1 gears, a bit steeper than the stockers, for even better acceleration. With the basic chassis configured, it was time to add some details. Stainless Steel Brakes' 14-inch slotted rotors and calipers were used up front, with 13-inchers rear. A Hydratech power booster provides brake boost by tying into the power-steering system rather than using engine vacuum.
Wheels blend period five-spoke design with modern size and flash. The model name is Alcatraz, from Colorado Custom, and the dimensions are 18x8 inches front and 20x8 inches rear. Tires are BFGoodrich g-Force KDWs. Tire size had to be kept reasonable to fit into the factory wheelwells.

In a short span of a few months, telephony-over-cable has quickly moved from lady-in-waiting to center stage.

Cable operators tend to think narrowly about the HFC (hybrid fiber/coax) local access world when it comes to emerging telecom standards and services. Broadband local access is one of the most difficult and expensive issues facing the evolution of the public network. It's also been the most visible concern throughout the 1990s.

Conventional wisdom says high-speed data-over-cable means you have to be big for the economics to work. As a result, companies have been designing huge data networks and planning for the traffic they'll carry. Yet interestingly, mid-sized and small operators are rushing into the high-speed data industry, often beating their larger brethren to the punch.

The North American cable industry's adoption of the Data-Over-Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) is solving long-standing problems of interoperability.

Quality Price Value
A must use to prevent any craters or holes from forming on your face after you pop a pimple or blackhead. I don't pop my pimples by hand, but sometimes when they pop on their own, I will wash my face immediately and apply this on top and it heals the area within the next day. A little goes a long way!

- Miracle working product Review by charmarie77
Price Value Quality
I bought this in addition to my current regimen 6 days before my wedding from my esthetician because I needed to desperately do away with hormonal acne in a short period of time. I used this in the morning and before bed specifically targeting the breakout areas after my using the Anti-Blemish Cleanser and Clear Complexion Pads. I can't say enough about how quickly this product worked (and is still working). I have a tendency to pick at my face when I'm nervous or have anxiety, this product healed those picked at areas quickly and flawlessly. I am extremely pleased with this product. My skin has never been so clear.

'Valitar's' epic collapse
Real spectacle was off stage, where ambition clashed with ability
The show became "Valitar," and Martonovich became the director. The job came with enormous pressures; the premiere was less than 10 months away. Still, he was eager to start.
Then he got a text message. The Remleys were divorcing, Mark texted, but wanted to proceed with "Valitar."
"Is that OK with you?" he asked.
Promised a $100,000 salary plus 20 percent ownership in the show, the director swallowed his misgivings.
"If someone wants to throw a ton of money at you," he decided, "you don't say no."
Target: 'Cavalia'
To keep "Valitar" on schedule and on budget, Martonovich called in favors with performers, costume designers, horse owners — many veterans of "Cavalia," a show the Remleys continued to target. Both "Valitar" and "Cavalia" planned to play San Diego in November, but Team V persuaded the fairgrounds to book the new show instead of the seasoned "Cavalia," which is based in Quebec. ("We did this pro-America, 'you-should-go-with-us' thing," Martonovich said. "Obviously, that turned out bad for them.") When "Cavalia" opened in San Jose last summer, the Remleys dispatched their operations manager to the Bay Area to report on the latest acts.
"It was basically like a spy mission," Kimball Keller said.
To keep pace with "Cavalia," though, would require stables full of talent and cash. Outsiders guessed that Mark had enough of the latter to buy the former.
"He seemed like a guy with a lot of money," said Cheryl Erpelding, publisher of California Riding Magazine. "A wheeler-dealer who had these crazy ideas that he could pull off this show."
"He was someone who had a full wallet — who wanted everything," said hospitality manager Tabasa, another hire with "Cavalia" experience. "And the show did have the potential to be successful."
The Remleys, former associates said, hungered for a top-flight show. They spent roughly $3 million on the 45,000-square-foot tent, a towering landmark visible from Interstate 5. They budgeted $250,000 for horses and even more for a lavish "VIP Lounge."
But as horses and performers rehearsed in a dusty Otay Mesa field last summer, there were signs of financial distress.
One day, Keller found a "Valitar" horse writhing in pain from colic. He called in a vet, who warned the steed could die if it wasn't immediately transported to the emergency room — a journey that would cost at least $1,500.
Mark balked. Keller exploded.
"Are you kidding me?" he asked. "Here this guy has millions of dollars and he doesn't want to spend $1,500 to save a horse?"
Keller won that argument, but he and others continued to question the Remleys' financial priorities.
"Eventually," Tabasa said, "you could see that they were spending money carelessly."
Case in point: a midsummer shopping trip Tatyana and Keller took to Mary's Feed & Tack. "She bought halters and rakes and wheelbarrows — everything we didn't need, we already had this stuff," he said.
Another time, Keller noted that his contract included a car. Tatyana gave him her used truck, then used Mark's money to buy a new, fully-loaded GMC.

HI-druh-lie'zd SOI PRO-teen
Hydrolyzed Soy Protein is a naturally derived protein of vegetable origin that is soluble in water. It is produced by the enzymatic hydrolysis of soya flour. When used in skin care products, it offers visible benefits to the skin to provide a smoothing effect and minimize the appearance of roughness and wrinkles.
HI-druh-lie'zd HWEET PRO-teen
Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, also known as by the collective name Phyto Peptides, is an effective substitute for hydrolyzed animal protein derived by acid, enzyme, or other method of hydrolysis. It offers conditioning, moisturizing and film forming properties and is widely in skin care products to help skin retain its moisture and improve its overall appearance.
Jojoba Oil is extracted from the beanlike seeds of the desert shrub Simondsia Chinensis and has been traditionally used by both Mexicans and Native Americans for skin care purpose. It reduces transepidermal water loss without completely blocking the transportation of water vapor and gasses, providing suppleness and softness. It is nurturing for the skin and helps to restore skin's natural lipid barrier.

A Bulldog Love Story

UGA graduate named to Texas A&M 12 Under 12 Young Alumni list
While I am unabashadly a proud Bulldog who bleeds red and black, you may know that I am also an Aggie. It never ceases to amaze me when my worlds collide and I run across other individuals who share the same love for both the Bulldogs and Aggies - and this is one of those instances.
Edward Tarlton (BLA '91), a 1991 graduate from UGA and a 2008 Texas A&M graduate, was named to Texas A&M's 12 Under 12 Young Alumni Spotlight list, an honor given to graduates within the past 12 years who exemplify excellence, integrity, leadership, loyalty, respect and selfless service. The 12 Under 12 program is similar to our 40 Under 40, so I can imagine the competition that Tarlton faced in earning this honor.
Tarlton is the founder of HELP Consulting (Higher Education and Learning Professional Consulting, Inc.). The idea for HELP was born during Tarlton's time as a recruiter for the Texas A&M Office of Graduate Studies. While traveling across the country to meet prospective students, he realized how many opportunities were being missed along the way. The HELP scholarship program now assists parents, students, administrators, faculty and academic organizations in navigating higher education concerns as they relate to undergraduate and graduate school. Since starting the organization, he has awarded more than 30 scholarships.
Tarlton's passion for helping others started long before his role as a recruiter. Just a few years after graduating from UGA, Tarlton presented his first two scholarships to students from his hometown high school - with money he earned from his own landscape architecture business.
Tarlton is currently a doctoral student with an emphasis in housing and community development at Texas A&M, and a graduate assistant with The Association of Former Students. He has received the Buck Weirus Spirit, J. Malon Aggie Leader Scholarship and Distinguished Graduate Teacher awards.
I'm proud to see this young alumnus dedicating himself to the community in such a meaningful way. Keep up this important work, Edward - and best of luck! Go Dawgs (and Gig 'em Aggies)!

Alumna Spotlight: Former Gymdog Marcia Newby-Goodman (BSA '10)
Former UGA Gymdog, Marcia Newby-Goodman (BSA '10), was recently named co-valedictorian of the University of Texas Medical Branch Class of 2015.
Marcia always knew she'd pursue a career in medicine. Despite battling a chronic ankle injury during her senior year at UGA, Marcia achieved momentous athletic and academic success at UGA. Between balancing two three-hour MCAT courses a week, rigorous gymnastics training, and classes, Marcia devoted her spare time to serving the greater Athens-Clarke community.
Her efforts at UGA won her numerous awards and accolades—including the prestigious NCAA TOP VIII Award, which is presented annually to eight outstanding student-athletes across the nation and recognizes outstanding athletic, academic, community service and leadership accomplishments.
As a recent medical school graduate, she hopes to combine her passion for sports, medicine and service to open an adolescent and young adult sports medicine clinic.
The UGA Alumni Association's strategic communications intern, Lauren Steffes '15, had the opportunity to catch up with this outstanding alumna:
What is your favorite UGA memory?
My favorite memory as a student was when my roommates and I would have random dance parties in our dorm. They were always fun because we would act silly and just do crazy things. These random dance parties always seemed to occur around finals because we never wanted to study!
How did UGA help you achieve your goals – both professionally and athletically?
UGA definitely helped prepare me academically for medical school. Since UGA had a tough curriculum, I was able to develop efficient studying skills that allowed me to complete my medical school work but still have time to hang with friends to minimize stress levels. This was a great skill because it ensured a smoooth transition to medical school.
Athletically, UGA (specifically Coach Suzanne Yoculan) taught me the value of teamwork and its application within athletics and outside of the gym. This lesson helped me contribute to UGA's NCAA National Championship in 2007, 2008, and 2009 as well as UGA's SEC Championship in 2008.
What accomplishment(s) are you most proud of from your time as a student?
My most proud accomplishment from my time as a student actually is not an award, honor, or anything that special. Simply, I am most proud of the true friendships I made during my college years. Developing those friendships to the point that they are maintained several years after graduation is amazing and provides a personal joy.
What led you to pursue a career in medicine?
From an early age, I knew I wanted to become a doctor. My father is a doctor and my mother is a nurse practitioner, so I was always around medicine in some capacity, but my true passion for it came through personal experiences as a gymnast. Having injuries myself and seeing other teammates with injuries engaged my curiosity in learning how to care for injuries but to also understand the needs of those who are injured or sick.
What advice would you give to current students at UGA?
My advice to others would be to go after your dreams no matter what. You may have to take a different route than others, but don't let obstacles deter you from your path. Remember to always work hard at every task because there is always something to learn and you never know when it may be useful! And finally, enjoy the ride because life is more than the final destination.
Marcia is married to former UGA football player Demiko Goodman (BSFCS '08). The two plan to move to Daytona Beach, Florida, where Newby-Goodman will attend a family medicine residency. The UGA community is proud to call them both members of the Bulldog family.

"Big Man on Campus" turns 90
Earlier this month, Dave Wilkinson (ABJ '89), featured to the left here, reached out to let UGA Alumni Association staff know that his father was turning 90 today. Dave shared so many great details about his father's time on campus that he was invited to serve as today's guest blogger. Enjoy this special post about one of UGA's outstanding graduates.
We are all proud of our UGA heritage. We share fond memories of football Saturdays and library Sundays. We watched the ancient trees on North Campus shed their leaves in autumnal breezes. We faced the challenge of traveling a mile across campus to make our next class in 15 minutes or less! From the dorms and dining halls to the Tate Center and Legion Pool, we learned to live and loved to learn at UGA. We worked hard. We played hard. We found ourselves at Georgia and left with Georgia in our hearts and souls!
Many of us are children or relatives of UGA alumni. I am honored to share the story of my dad, an outstanding alumnus who turns 90 this month. His name is Albert Mims Wilkinson, Jr., and you would know him as "Mims."
Mims graduated from Decatur Boys High School at the age of 16 in 1942. He attended Emory University then transferred to the University of Georgia. At the age of 18, he joined the U.S. Coast Guard. He was assigned to the USS Evansville, Patrol Frigate 70, as a radar operator; Radarman, Third Class. After 2.5 years of active duty, mostly on submarine patrol in the North Atlantic, Mims was discharged having earned the American Defense Medal, the World War II Victory Medal, and the U.S. Navy Pistol Marksmanship Medal.
In June 1946, Mims re-enrolled at the University of Georgia. The following year, he entered the UGA School of Law. He was elected Campus Leader in 1947 to represent all non-fraternity men on campus. While at UGA, he was elected to Omicron Delta Kappa Honor Society, Blue Key Honor Society, the Gridiron Secret Society, and the Sphinx Club, UGA's oldest honorary society. He was a member of both the Demosthenian Literary Society and the Phi Kappa Literary Society. Mims was a charter member of Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity. He was admitted to the State Bar of Georgia in 1948 and was elected president of the Georgia Law School Senior Class the next year.
Dad began to practice law in Atlanta in 1950. He practiced in all Georgia and federal trial and appellate courts, including the United States Supreme Court. He was a member or chairman of various committees of the Atlanta and Georgia bar associations, and served as chairman of the American Bar Association Committee on the Trial of Commercial Claims. Mims was a charter member of the Georgia Chapter of the American Trial Lawyers Association. He authored a book on contract law in Georgia which sold out two editions. He was Honorary Legal Advisor to the British Consul-General in Atlanta from 1970 until 2000. For his service to the Crown, he was awarded membership in the Order of the British Empire in 1985.
Dad was a tough act to follow at UGA. He credits the University of Georgia with preparing him for success in all of his endeavors. He was just one of so many great alumni who paved the way for us. We can all be grateful for those who established and helped grow this great institution. I am especially grateful to the University of Georgia Alumni Association for its ongoing service to the university and its alumni and friends. It's great to be a Georgia Bulldog!
Alumnus named Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's 2015 Atlanta Man of the Year
Brian Fuller (BS '98) not only gives back to his community through his involvement with the UGA Alumni Association Board of Directors, he has spent the last year fundraising for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Recently, Brian was named LLS' 2015 Atlanta Man of the Year and is now in the running for 2015 National Man of the Year, which will be announced in July.
Every dollar the candidates raised counted as one "vote" and the candidates with the most votes were awarded the title Man & Woman of the Year. All the candidates competed in honor of LLS's Boy & Girl of the Year, Hendrick and Koa, local children who are blood cancer survivors and sources of inspiration to others.
Brian Fuller, pictured on left with Girl of the Year, Koa.
"The Man & Woman of the Year campaign is a great opportunity for participants to network with other candidates while raising money for an important cause," said Piper Medcalf, LLS Georgia Chapter Executive Director. "We applaud the tireless efforts of our incredible candidates and thank each of them for making such a significant difference in the lives of so many people."

Lego Education NXT Pre-Order begins April 1
35 DAYS... and counting...
The Education NXT blog has announced pre-orders for the Education version of NXT will begin on April 1. They are still holding to the August 1 ship date.
Read the official announcement here.

Jim, you may be unable to comment on this, but in the pre-pre-order offer I got, LEGO said they'd begin shipping July 1. See my post here.

- Jim Kelly said...
As I understand it, you are purchasing the retail version which will ship July 1. The Educational version which starts pre-orders in a few days will ship on August 1... Lego is offering the pre-order of the retail version to those who applied for the MDP.
But you are correct, the email that I've seen copies of indicates they ship on July 1... 3 months instead of 4... not bad.

I'm not feeling the urge to put a $250 charge on my credit card -- not for something that won't ship for 3 or 4 months, anyway. Though I'd like to be first on my block. Hmm.
Any idea if the education version and the retail version are likely to be similar, identical, or different? How did this play out with the previous generation of Mindstorms?
If NXT is going to be offered in mass market stores, then I can get it for 10% off with my Target reward card, so that more than makes up for having to pay sales tax. And if the Lego Store at the Mall would allow me to apply the purchase to my Lego rewards card, well, that would be sweet.
So I guess I'm looking for a reason to think that the education version is going to be different (and better??) than the retail version. Will it come with a different software package, for instance?
- Mar 29, 2006, 4:32:00 PM
- Jim Kelly said...
The retail and Education versions do differ. One major difference is the Education version comes with converter cables that allow for the older RIS sensors and motors to be used... AND... it is supposed to come with a rechargeable battery unit.
Also, the training material is different, but in what way, I do not know.
And finally, I read or heard someone state that you can't just call up and buy the Education version... you have to provide some sort of proof you are in the education field.
- Mar 30, 2006, 12:05:00 AM
I applied for the MDP, but didn't get accepted. I did get the rejection email and registered for the pre-order notification.
Last week (on 24th March) I received an email invitation to pre-order, which was scored by my ISP as spam and my email client suggests that it is an "email scam". (I guess because it's in HTML and links to pictures on the Lego shop website.)
So yes I phoned up and ordered but, this being the UK, Lego are only shipping the NXT kit in September.

'VERY knowledgable' staff at a popular Kendal attraction are celebrating after securing a top accreditation.
Kendal Museum has been accredited as a Quality Assured Visitor Attraction - an assessment run by Visit England and recognises customer service and visitor experience at attractions across the country.
A Visit England assessor praised the strong collections, recognising the effort that has gone into creating a well-balanced wildlife gallery and the considerable effort that has been put into modernising the Wainwright Gallery.
In a report, the assessor said of the museum: "The Wildlife Gallery succeeds in presenting specimens from five continents in an imaginative and lively fashion that can be readily grasped by children".
Learning facilities for children were also praised along with 'excellent' reading books being available.
The Wainwright Gallery was also commended for its cabinets and the assessor said that the staff 'engaged well and were very knowledgeable'.
The assessor summed up his judgement and reported: "There is a wealth of excellent material in the museum – with the Wildlife Gallery and the Wainwright exhibits showing what can be achieved. The possibilities for mutually beneficial exchanges of skills with college courses and museum qualifications seem exciting. There is huge potential scope for the Museum."

Phoenix Suns
Suns coach Gentry: 'It was a total abortion, really'
Losing a game is bad.
Losing a game to the Detroit Pistons is worse.
Losing a game to the Detroit Pistons by a score of 117-77 -- a 40 points margin -- is, well, we'll let Suns coach Alvin Gentry tell you what it is.
"There's nothing to say, it was a total abortion, really," Gentry told FoxSports Arizona after the game Wednesday. "I wish there was an easier way to put it, but we sucked in all phases of the game."
The Suns were tied with the Pistons, who entered the game just 4-11 on the season, 24-24 at the end of the first quarter.
From there they were outscored 93-53, and never even threatened to make any kind of run.
"It's the first game I can say that I didn't think we competed hard and didn't try to match their energy level, Gentry said.
The Suns, who fell to 7-9 on the season, are in the middle of a six-game road trip. They're 1-2 so far after beating Cleveland but losing to Philadelphia and Detroit, and now head north to take on the Toronto Raptors before facing the New York Knicks and Memphis Grizzlies.
Gentry called his team's performance in Detroit "beyond embarrassing," adding that if he was a Suns fan or part of management he'd be "totally pissed off, and rightfully so."
The Suns shot 34.1 percent from the field, made just six of their 21 three point attempts, were outrebounded and had more turnovers than assists.
In short, Gentry is absolutely correct.
"There was nothing that we did that you could even say was NCAA quality," he said.
That may be an unnecessary shot at college ballers, but we understand.

The Giro Ionos Helmet is the most ventilated and technologically advanced road cycling helmet Giro has ever created. The in-mold composite sub frame provides the strength to support 21 of the largest vents ever carved into a helmet. These massive vents – coupled with an intricate network of internal channels - create the Wind Tunnel ventilation cooling system.
The difference is remarkable, making the Ionos the coolest, best-ventilated helmet available. The use of composite in the sub-frame provides incredible structural support, impact dispersion and resistance to penetration, while the X-Static fabric pads are woven with pure silver fibres and kill 100% of bacteria.
Key Features:
Technical Specifications:
Helmets that are sold on Probikekit.com are certified with a European CE EN1078 standard.

ITS Builds Comprehensive Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery Plan
The recent spate of damaging tornados, debilitating blizzards and frightening earthquakes have made it clear that planning for disasters and creating a foundation for recovery are key efforts for any large organization.
No degree of planning can avoid the damaging effects of a disaster, whether it comes in the form of bad weather, accidents or even acts of terror. But careful and comprehensive planning can position an organization to deal with the unexpected, and to more quickly and successfully recover from a disaster.
To prepare for potential disastrous events, Information Technology Services has devoted more than a year to develop its Business Continuity-Disaster Recovery Plan and is currently in the process of testing the documented plan.
The overall plan being created by the division includes business impact analyses for numerous units of the University, a risk analysis and the creation of contingency and continuity plans. It also outlines recovery priorities and recovery plans for all aspects of information technology.
Perhaps most importantly, the plan includes a series of tests and evaluations which will allow the division to judge how effective it might be in case it needed to recover from any of a wide range of incidents.
Many tests were conducted in late 2010 in the form of "desktop exercises" where key staff members were asked to conduct a verbal walk though of steps they would take to deal with everything from a widespread power outage to major fires and weather-related events that would limit their abilities to conduct normal business.
In the coming months, more extensive exercises will be undertaken to test how the technical staff would "fail over" their activities from their primary data center to their backup center for six critical services: Banner, the SLU website, SLU Global, data bases, electronic Research Services and the electronic Institutional Review Board.
When possible, these exercises will be conducted without causing any interruption of service to users and will be scheduled during normal maintenance windows. In the event that a service will be interrupted, the University will be notified at least 72 hours in advance.
The plans for these "fail over exercises" have been written and documented, and now the goal is to test the plans.
Going forward, increasingly comprehensive exercises will be conducted as the division continues to refine its efforts.
Sunday, May 22, between 10 a.m.-4 p.m., ITS will conduct the fail over exercise for the Banner system. Access to Banner should not be affected by the testing process; however, if you do experience any disruption in Banner services, please notify the IT Service Desk via phone: 314-977-4000.
Please contact Steve Dosenbach at email@example.com with any questions or concerns regarding the ITS business continuity-disaster recovery plan.

The term "half-life" dates to 1907. The original term was "half-life period", but that was shortened to "half-life" starting in the early 1950s.
Half-lives are very often used to describe quantities undergoing exponential decay—for example radioactive decay. However, a half-life can also be defined for non-exponential decay processes. For a general introduction and description of exponential decay, see the article exponential decay. For a general introduction and description of non-exponential decay, see the article rate law.

| Fraction
| Percentage
A half-life often describes the decay of discrete entities, such as radioactive atoms. In that case, it does not work to use the definition "half-life is the time required for exactly half of the entities to decay". For example, if there is just one radioactive atom with a half-life of 1 second, there will not be "half of an atom" left after 1 second. There will be either zero atoms left or one atom left, depending on whether or not the atom happens to decay.
Instead, the half-life is defined in terms of probability. It is the time when the expected value of the number of entities that have decayed is equal to half the original number. For example, one can start with a single radioactive atom, wait its half-life, and measure whether or not it decays in that period of time. Perhaps it will and perhaps it will not. But if this experiment is repeated again and again, it will be seen that it decays within the half life 50% of the time.
In some experiments (such as the synthesis of a superheavy element), there is in fact only one radioactive atom produced at a time, with its lifetime individually measured. In this case, statistical analysis is required to infer the half-life. In other cases, a very large number of identical radioactive atoms decay in the time-range measured. In this case, the central limit theorem ensures that the number of atoms that actually decay is essentially equal to the number of atoms that are expected to decay. In other words, with a large enough number of decaying atoms, the probabilistic aspects of the process can be ignored.
There are various simple exercises that demonstrate probabilistic decay, for example involving flipping coins or running a computer program. See the following websites: , ,
An exponential decay process can be described by any of the following three equivalent formulae:
|Click "show" to see a detailed derivation of the relationship between half-life, decay time, and decay constant.
|Start with the three equations
By plugging in and manipulating these relationships, we get all of the following equivalent descriptions of exponential decay, in terms of the half-life:
There is a half-life describing any exponential-decay process. For example:
Many quantities decay in a way not described by exponential decay—for example, the evaporation of water from a puddle, or (often) the chemical reaction of a molecule. In this case, the half-life is defined the same way as before: The time elapsed before half of the original quantity has decayed. However, unlike in an exponential decay, the half-life depends on the initial quantity, and changes over time as the quantity decays.
As an example, the radioactive decay of carbon-14 is exponential with a half-life of 5730 years. If you have a quantity of carbon-14, half of it (on average) will have decayed after 5730 years, regardless of how big or small the original quantity was. If you wait another 5730 years, one-quarter of the original will remain. On the other hand, the time it will take a puddle to half-evaporate depends on how deep the puddle is. Perhaps a puddle of a certain size will evaporate down to half its original volume in one day. But if you wait a second day, there is no reason to expect that precisely one-quarter of the puddle will remain; in fact, it will probably be much less than that. This is an example where the half-life reduces as time goes on. (In other non-exponential decays, it can increase instead.)
For specific, quantitative examples of half-lives in non-exponential decays, see the article Rate equation.
A biological half-life is also a type of half-life associated with a non-exponential decay, namely the decay of the activity of a drug or other substance after it is introduced into the body.

Many users here ( and even more that you may support) have looked back upon XP as the greatest OS to come out of Redmond. But very few remember that before XP was loved, it was hated. In fact, it was more than hated, users loathed it. WGA (product activation), the Luna theme, and numerous other technologies had users in a fury, ready to pounce on Redmond as if they were a misbehaving child not listening to their mother (customers), in much the same way users are now with Windows 8. Thanks to the Flux Capacitor we know as the Internet, traces of the frustration can still be found. Ars Technica writer Peter Bright (@DrPizza) brought forth some of that evidence in a new article of his.
Ready for a trip down memory lane? Let's take a look... Memory lane: before everyone loved Windows XP, they hated it!

Kelly Clarkson Is Engaged!
It's official – Kelly Clarkson announced on Twitter today that she is engaged to Nashville-based talent manager Brandon Blackstock. The couple have been dating for 9 months now and this last Tuesday Clarkson appeared on the Ellen Degeneres show and gave a few not-so-subtle hints that she a wedding was in their future. That said, "We will totally, probably elope," she told Ellen.
Congrats Kelly and Brandon!

I'm tired of websites not taking security seriously. You never know if a site is using proper techniques for securing your data (e.g. hashing passwords, using a salt, ...)
I made an app (for iPhone & iPod Touch) called "BYOSalt" (as in, "Bring Your Own Salt ). If there is interest, I can port it to OS X, Windows, BlackBerry, etc. without much difficulty.
Basically, you enter the site's URL, your username, email address, and password. Then, you click "Generate Code." It calculates the hash (using bCrypt), and implements a salt. You end up with a long alphanumeric string, from which you can choose the length of your password.
In theory, say I (or someone) ported it to Windows/OS X/etc, you'd have no need to shorten the password at all. So while it omits symbols from the password, it does provide a password long enough that brute-forcing is unlikely.
The main advantage to this app is that, even if your password is stored in plaintext by the site, the underlying password is protected (so if you DO use the same master password across multiple sites, if one site is breached, you don't have to worry about the other sites as the URL is part of the plaintext before it is hashed -- it acts as part of the per-site salt... meaning your actual password is never exposed).
I just put it together today. If I'm on to something, or if there is interest, I'll improve it and add features. If it's a stupid idea, I'll just trash the project as I don't have much investment in it at this point.
Let me know what you all think
P.S. I'm not much of a UI designer... So, forgive the ugliness
