Wilwood Engineering Brake Upgrade - A Major Brake UpgradeWritten by on January 23, 2012 Wilwood Engineering's Answer to Stopping
Back in the day, drum brakes were the only option for the '40s and '50s pickups. It was not until the '60s when GM and Ford offered the option for disc brakes. When I worked as a mechanic, I replaced tons of front and rear leaky wheel cylinders only to fail prematurely and seep, causing loss of brake fluid. When loosing fluid through a leaky drum wheel cylinder, a single reservoir master cylinder would loose brake pressure and eventually fail, not to mention, cracking the brake drum shoes due to over tightening the adjuster and or overheating.
This leads me to disc brakes and, as you already know, disc brakes offer the driver a better brake feel in the pedal and get rid of the annoying front drum brake adjustment. What you may not know is that disc brakes such as Wilwood Disc Brakes has been working on and perfecting disc brakes since 1977. So, why are disc brakes preferred over drum brakes? Well, for the most part, disc brakes have repeatable performance that drums simply cant duplicate, this means that if you get yourself in a need to stop situation, drum brakes may or may not stop with the same predictable manner as a good set of disc brakes. Disc brakes also have a major advantage over drum brakes due to the open-air design of the braking parts. With a disc-brake setup, hydraulic fluid is used to apply pressure on the calipers piston that is machined to fit inside the caliper. As the brake pedal is applied, the calipers piston, or on better brakes such as Wilwood four- or six-piston calipers, will apply pressure on the brake pads. The pads then apply pressure and causes a resistance or heat to the rotor causing it to slow down the rate that the rotor is turning, thus stopping the wheel and vehicle. The direct air around the vehicle's braking components then reduces the heat from the braking process. Drum brakes don't have the ability to cool as quickly because they are housed inside the drum and air does not pass through as freely as disc brakes, thus causing brake fade or complete loss in braking on the older style drum brakes. These facts were first discovered by racers that were using disc brakes on race cars and could apply their brakes later than those running drum brakes and were still be able to stop faster without over heating braking components. Eventually, the design would make it into just about every production motorized vehicle on the road today.
Skipping forward to modern day technologies in braking, Wilwood Disc Brakes offer the ability to cool the brake rotor more efficiently than the standard brake rotor. They do this by casting the rotor out of specially designed iron and designing the internal vanes to pump cold air from the center of the wheel to take heat away from the rotor. Wilwood also offers drilled and slotted rotors that help prevent pad glaze and disperse gasses and heat generated during the pad to rotor interface. Plus, Wilwood is now coating rotors with a black electro coating they call E-coating, this coating will burn off the rotor to pad surface but remain in the cracks and crevices to help prevent rust.

I started off with the Wilwood forged billet aluminum solid rotor offset hubs that are drilled for Ford 5x4.5 or Chevy 5x4.75 car lug patterns. For my application I was going to use the 4x4.75 Chevy car lug pattern.To figure out what lug pattern you have measure from the farthest point on the stud (left) to the center of the opposite stud (right). This measurement gives me 5 lugs on 4.75 pattern or better known as 5x4.75. The same holds true for measuring 5x4.5 lug patterns.Next, I used general automotive grease on the inner and outer needle bearings and place in the hub. A bearing seal is then installed on the big bearing side. I have found the best way to install the seal is to use a small piece of wood (2x4) and a hammer, but make sure to place a piece of wood on the opposite side of the hub to prevent damage to the hub surface, etc.The bearing to hub seal is installed to protect dirt and water from entering the bearings and causing damage.The Wilwood 2-inch drop spindles were installed onto the Wilwood aluminum hub assembly. You can use other spindles with Wilwood brake kits but it is recommended to check with Wilwood for parts interchangeability per your application. The Wilwood ProSpindle provides a lower stance without having to sacrifice for a shorter coilover or shock.Next, the greased outer bearing, nut, locking cam and cotter pin were installed followed by the cool aluminum Wilwood bearing cap.The cool thing besides how the brakes look is that the parts are clean when you pull them out of the box. The parts are so clean that I assembled the rotors and hubs in my living room. Notice how the hat sits flush on top of the rotor.Using the special bolts that have holes drilled in the heads I bolted the rotor to the hats. I also applied blue loc-tite to the bolts before installing them. Torque these bolts down to specs in a star pattern.
Begin by sliding the wire through two of the holes (left) that are 180 degrees apart. Twist the wire as shown (below) using safety wire pliers. Now slide one wire through two of the holes (180 degrees apart) and wrap the other wire around the bolt. Twist the wires together to form a pigtail. Following the Wilwood instructions twisting the wire the correct direction. The safety wires purpose is to keep the bolt from backing out and must be installed the proper way.Now, the spindle and hub that was put together can be installed onto the upper and lower ball joints. I also installed the tie rod arm that bolts on to the spindle. Make sure the tapered end is facing down so that the tie rod end will slip into the taper and locks when it is tightened down.Notice the different sized washers/spacers that will help adjust the calipers bracket to fit the caliper to the rotor.The caliper bracket may look like it can install both ways but it will be slightly off if installed backwards. I installed the caliper bracket with four large spacers per bolt and with the bracket relief cuts towards the frame. Along with the caliper bracket comes the tie rod end bracket, the tie rod bracket also needs a spacer on one end but is much thicker than the others.I placed the directional rotor on the hub and aligned the three tapered holes that help hold the rotor on the hub. I then used blue loc-tite and installed the bolts to the rotor. I also used some washers around two lug nuts and tightened them down, this will make sure I didn't scratch or damage the rotor surface.Now its time to get out the Wilwood Superlite six-piston calipers that are radial mounted. Radial mounting simplifies adaptation and provides two planes of adjustment for accurate alignment over the disc. These calipers integrate "Big Brake" style with Wilwood's latest technology to generate big stopping power in extreme environments over a broad range of vehicle applications. Notice the pistons inside the caliper are staggered; this helps the caliper apply force to the rotor in all the right spots for optimum brake performance. Note the calipers are directional.Use the four provided spacers on the top and bottom of the caliper brackets. I used two per caliper bracket stud.Next, test-fit the caliper onto the bracket and be careful not to force the caliper on or damage the paint. Make sure you are lined up on both sides for the brake pads to slide into the caliper easily. Use the 7/16 castle nuts and washers and tighten down the caliper to the bracket. If the pads don't slide in easily, the provided eight spacers on the caliper bracket will need to be adjusted. I would suggest start off with all eight installed (four per caliper bracket) and remove two at a time until the pads slide in easy on both sides. When you are happy with the fit make sure to tighten the top bolt and spacer to hold the pads in the caliper.
The Wilwood stainless steel braided brake lines were then test fit on the caliper. I used plumber's tape to seal the pipe threads but not on the brake line side that has flair. I also made sure that the brake line was long enough to not stretch or kink during lock-to-lock turning.Rj Plent from Deuces Wild Hot Rods and Customs helped by making this simple brake line plate that adapted the stainless steel line to the custom bent hard lines that he also bent.Wilwood has a plethora of different master cylinder bore sizes that will cater to your brake needs. I was just on the Wilwood web site and noticed they also have the master cylinders in a black E-coat finish.Another really trick thing from Wilwood is the adjustable proportioning valve and can be used for disc/drum or disc/disc applications. The Proportioning valve works by metering the line pressure in the rear brakes with the adjustable fine treaded screw. This allows the driver to fine tune the front to rear brakes so that the rear brakes will not lock up or skid under braking. Ideally the rear brake line pressure is adjusted so that the front brakes will lock up before the rears. I may install it near the drivers seat or in the more traditional spot under the hood.Here Rj shows his handy work with bending brake lines. Coat hangers and Tig filler rod can be used as a guide to get a template for the bends.Bleeding brakes is no big secret, but you have to do it in the correct order. First start by bleeding your master cylinder, and then have someone pump the brakes slowly to prevent tiny air bubbles in the system. Ask the person pumping to hold pressure on the brake pedal so you can crack the brake bleeders on the furthest point from the master cylinder (right rear caliper). Then close the brake caliper bleeder screw and the brake pedal can be pumped up for pressure again, continue several times until no air comes out of the caliper. Then continue the process on to the left rear, front right and front left calipers until brakes hold pressure. Wilwood calipers have two brake bleeders on top of the calipers and Wilwood suggest that the inner bleeder then the outer bleeder until air is out of both.

What: '70 Dodge Challenger
Where: Mauston, WI
Why: Dude, if you can't see the beef dripping off this car, you need to take off the beer goggles. Check out the 596-inch aluminum Hemi with a NOS Pro Fogger (our favorite), plugged into a Tremec five-speed and a Dana 60 with 4.10:1 gears. This guy also equipped the E-Body with an Air Ride suspension system to lower the car over a set of polished Minilite wheels. There is a huge list of parts you can't see, like the 4-inch stainless steel exhaust system, Aero mufflers, and power everything in the interior. It even has heated/cooled Recaro seats, a DVD player, and a backup camera.
He Says: "It's not finished yet, but it's scary so far."
We Say: No back window. Couldn't wait to drive it, huh?
Before And After
Who: Brendan Stuart
What: '69 Ford Mustang coupe
Where: Mexico, MO
Why: What's cool is seeing good ol' Stu grow up building a '69 Mustang. And the wheels and paint are nice, too. It has a 302 and a C4 automatic for those of you who are wondering. We're guessing it has an 8-inch rearend with an open differential for maximum burnouts.
He Says: "It's my chick magnet."
We Say: They grow up so fast, sniff. . . .
I Had One Of Those
Who: Davis and Paul Carroll
What: '65 Ford Mustang
Where: Foxboro, MA
Why: This was originally a California car with a 289-inch mill. Now it has a 351 Windsor with a Hurst-shifted C4 automatic. Davis and Paul have done some of the mandatory suspension, cooling, and brake work and made sure the heater works for the lovely New England weather.
We Say: Needs a five-speed. Do it.
Not So Cheap Street
Who: John B. Smith
What: '68 Chevy Chevelle
Where: Boalsburg, PA
Why: We think this guy bought at least one part from every advertiser in the magazine. The result is this dope Chevelle with eye-popping orange paint and a World Products 540hp 509-inch Rat. It also has a Keisler five-speed swap with a McLeod Street Twin clutch, a 12-bolt Moser rearend, and every other cool part in between.
We Say: We're kind of jealous.
The Last $1,000 Chevelle
Who: Kirt Star
What: '70 Chevy Chevelle
Where: New Berlin, WI
Why: Kirt bought this car in 1986 for only $1,000. A couple of years later he got his hands on a rust-free shell and got to work. The frame-off resto was completed in 1996 and included a 402-inch big-block and a stupid flat-tappet mechanical cam with 256/266 degrees of advertised duration and 0.580/0.605-inch lift. With a 100-shot of nitrous, it runs 11.61 at 116 mph.
Who: Kenneth Tyler
What: '78 Pontiac Trans Am
Where: Lapeer, MI
Why: Ken says he's had this car for the last 18 years. It has a 400-inch engine with the addition of a 750-cfm Holley vacuum secondary carburetor. It also has a limited slip and a 3.42:1 gear.
He Says: "No shots about my '80s sunvisor."
We Say: OK. Are those fuzzy dice?
Who: Brett Perkins
What: '72 Pontiac LeMans
Where: Hastings, NE
Why: We didn't know there were parts available for these cars. We also didn't know anyone was restoring these cars until Brett sent us this photo. It took him and his father two years of Saturdays to finish it. That's a Pontiac tach on the hood and an Oldsmobile rear spoiler on the trunk. The color is DuPont Commercial Yellow. It's powered by a Pontiac 350.
Check Your Fuel
In the Dec. '07 issue on page 51 ("How to Design a Fuel System") you have a formula for gallons/hour that seems wrong (I went back and forth between it and several other calculations, since I had not seen the formula before this article). I think the formula given does not need the factor of 2 at the beginning; just HP times BSFC divided by 6 equals GPH. Otherwise, thanks for a good article. I'm building a '66 Chevelle with a 454 bored and stroked to 489, topped by an 8-71 blower and twin 750s. Maybe 900 to 1,000 hp!
-Gersh Lundberg, Paducah, KY
What we didn't explain very well is that the multiple of 2 in the equation (2 (flywheel hp x 0.5 BSFC/6 = GPH) adds enough pump to compensate for friction in the lines, g-forces, low system voltage, and whatever else might conspire to starve the system for fuel. The industry uses it as a safety measure.

Where: Parkesburg, PA
Why: It's a wagon that has a 360-inch Magnum crate engine installed with an A500 automatic and a 3.55:1 gear in the 831/44-inch rearend. It's kind of a cool street machine that gets driven everywhere by Paul.
He Says: "I haven't found the top speed. Maybe I need to move to Texas or Bonneville."
JY Crawl
Who: Dave Kozlik
What: '74 Ford Maverick
Where: Wetumpka, AL
Why: This is a mostly original car with a six-cylinder mill. When the engine dies it will be swapped with a 351, but it just won't let go. It's been driven to Michigan from Alabama three times with no problems. Let's see your Prius do that 33 years from now.
We Say: Can you get a 514 in there?
Fun Police
My daughter Brianna and I have just finished up a successful brake conversion using a SSBC kit. We went from manual drum brakes to power disc up front on her '70 Barracuda. I brought a picture of Brianna to work showing her bolting up the power-booster brackets. One of the doctors I work with, who is a die-hard Porsche guy and owns a Prius, took a look at the picture. His comment? "David, you're the whole reason they created the homeowners association." Hey, what's that supposed to mean? -Dave Zink, Orange, California
Big Coupe
Who: Peter G. Opalenik
What: '69 Chevy Impala

Fur Dur
Who: Anthony Caruso
What: '67 Chevy Chevelle
Where: Southampton, NY
Why: This car started out as a six-cylinder farm car and turned into a V-8-powered cruiser. The running gear is the standard 383 with a 700-R4 swap and a Moser 12-bolt rear. How often do you see a four-door Chevelle at the track? Anthony and his family plan to run it with a NOS wet system down the quarter-mile.
Regarding the CC Quickie on page 113 of the Dec. '07 issue, you asked when was the last I saw an M/T cross-ram aluminum manifold? Well, I see one all the time-under the hood of my Monte Carlo. Believe it or not, it has crisp throttle response and gobs of torque. It really has people's heads scratchin' at shows and cruise nights. -Cory Hanscom, Upper Midwest

text: By Pastor Vince CarrigSports Writer Perkins County guard Michi Prante stepped just into the paint and swished a late jump shot to boost her Lady Plainsmen to a 43-41 comeback win over Dundy County-Stratton in Benkelman Thursday night. Prante's three fourth quarter free throws and team-high 13 points helped the visitors erase a 32-19 third quarter deficit. Prante stuck another jumper and senior forward Matisyn Humphrey propelled in a full arm extension putback while airborne in a 9-1 third quarter run that helped Perkins County gain traction. "I was pleased that no one panicked when we executed our offensive sets early on but just couldn't get the ball to fall," Lady Plainsmen Head Coach Deanne Bishop said after the game. "We made a concentrated effort to focus on the game one-possession at-a-time and do a better job limiting them to just one shot per trip down the floor." Freshman guard Brandie Ross' baby hook from the foul line and a Prante free throw gave the Lady Plainsmen a 39-38 lead with 2:06 left, Perkins County's first lead since 2-0 in the game's first minutes. Junior forward Courtney McClenahan turned the disappointment of a missed Prante free throw into elation, reaching the bounding ball first and sending it through for a 41-38 lead just seconds later. Humphrey tossed in another putback and put together nine points in the game; senior guard Jessi Hoffert hurled a second quarter and a fourth quarter shot in from "downtown" and piled up six points. Shania Metcalf limited the Lady Tigers' damage with an astounding six snuffs, six rebounds and two steals, kicking in a set shot from the wheel for good measure. Forward Colby Duvel's scoring allowed the Lady Tigers to pounce on a 15-point, 23-8 lead in the second quarter. The 5-foot-7 freshman hid at the back door to steal points and landed a turnaround jumper in the second quarter on her way to a game-high 16 points. Dundy County-Stratton's Angela Crouse reached twice from the right corner of the floor and twice from the foul line in the first half as the Lady Plainsmen struggled, shooting just 2-for-21 in the first half and committing seven of their 23 turnovers in the second quarter.PC 43, DCS 41Perkins Co. 4 11 13 15–43DCS 13 12 8 8–41 Scoring leaders–Perkins County: Prante 5FG 3/4FT–13; Humphrey 4 1/2–9; McClenahan 3 0/3–6; Ross 3 0/2–6; Hoffert (2[x3]) 0/2–6; Dundy County-Stratton: Duvel 5 6/12–16; Crouse 2 3/4–7; Kent, Natalie 3 0-1–6; Kent, Nicole 3–6.

Press Release 13-032 National Science Foundation and NBC Learn Release New 'Science Behind The News' Videos
Five original videos explore science behind current events related to mathematical and physical sciences
A theoretical physicist explains the science behind quantum computing in new NSF-NBC Learn video.
Credit and Larger Version
February 27, 2013
The National Science Foundation and NBC Learn, the educational arm of NBC News, released today five new videos in the Science Behind The News series.
Science Behind The News is a relatively new, fast-paced video series supported by NSF that explores the science, technology, engineering and mathematics behind current events. Each video features at least one interview with an NSF-funded scientist or researcher.
The five new videos highlight work funded by NSF's Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences. The scope of scientific and educational activity supported in the directorate is enormous, ranging from phenomena at cosmological distances, to environmental science on the human scale, through quantum mechanical processes in atomic and subatomic physics, to phenomena of the unimaginably small.
There are 12 Science Behind The News episodes available to teachers and students at Science360: The Knowledge Network and for free at NBCLearn.com.
New videos released today include:
1. Predictive Policing
The LAPD is using a new tactic in their fight against crime called "predictive policing." It's a computer program that was originally developed by a team at UCLA, including mathematician Andrea Bertozzi and anthropologist Jeff Brantingham.
2. Impacts on Jupiter
The impacts of comets on the surface of Jupiter are a fairly common experience. At the University of Central Florida, astronomers Joseph Harrington and Csaba Palotai are leading a project that studies precisely how these impacts happen, and also provides valuable information about what might happen if such a comet struck Earth.
3. Drug-Resistant Bacteria
As disease-causing bacteria become increasingly resistant to antibiotics, scientists like Erin Carlson from Indiana University are turning to natural sources to find new medicines.
4. Bio-Inspired Materials
In the search for the next groundbreaking tough material, scientists like David Kisailus from the University of California, Riverside, are looking to nature for inspiration, including under the sea where one little crustacean packs a walloping punch--the peacock mantis shrimp.
5. Quantum Computers
Imagine if engineers could build a computer to be millions of times faster than anything that exists today, yet so small that it's microscopic. John Preskill, a theoretical physicist at the California Institute of Technology, explains the science behind quantum computing, the next great frontier in computer science.

As it appears Zimbra developers are in love with MS, Apple and Blackberry. Android is a freakin linux system and far better than the other garbage out there.
So why is it taking Zimbra so long to get on the android side of things?
Would someone in Zimbra development give a reason as to why android is left out like a step child? Seriously! You waiting for the end of the world in 2012 so that can be the reason support is being left out.
Sorry for the rant. Now back to trying to figure out how to get a freakin app to allow attachments to be sent in an email.
Signed... One ticked off Admin!

|Vice President / Director of Athletics
Vice President and Director of Athletics Barry Collier, who led Butler's men's basketball team to prominence as head coach, is serving his ninth year at the helm of the Butler University athletic department. Collier has focused the department's efforts on the provision of exceptional student-athlete experiences, competitive excellence, serving as a source of pride and unity and fiscal sustainability.
Building on a culture of excellence, the athletic department embraces The Butler Way as its path to continued success. The Butler Way demands commitment, denies selfishness, accepts reality; yet seeks constant improvement while putting the team above self.
At Butler, Collier oversees the school's 19 NCAA Division I sports. He and his staff support 365+ student-athletes in their quest for achievement in the classroom, in athletic competition and in community service. Athletics provides unique educational opportunities to absorb the values of hard work, sacrifice, fair play, self respect, respect for others, teamwork and the quest for excellence.
Butler's student-athletes have excelled academically. Since Collier arrived in 2006, the Bulldogs have been recognized with 18 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, 165 academic all-conference members and 1,104 conference academic honor roll members. Additionally, Butler University ranked as one of the top schools in the nation when the NCAA released its list of Public Recognition Awards on Thursday, June 14, 2012. A total of 11 Butler teams were honored for achieving a multi-year Academic Progress Rate (APR) in the top 10 percent of their Division I peers.
Under Collier's leadership, the athletics teams at Butler have earned 27 regular season and tournament championships from 2007 through 2012. BU's women's cross country, men's cross country, volleyball, men's soccer, men's indoor and outdoor track and field, women's indoor and outdoor track and field, men's basketball, men's tennis and women's golf teams or individuals have participated in NCAA championship play.
Perhaps the most notable accomplishments by Butler athletics during Collier's tenure came during the men's basketball team's runs to the NCAA Final Four in 2010 and 2011. The school's NCAA Tournament success was transformative for Butler men's basketball, Butler athletics and Butler University. Elevating to a whole new level, the men's basketball team brought in more than $1.1 billion of media value to Butler, over the months surrounding the 2010 and 2011 Final Fours. During the 2010 Final Four in Indianapolis, one of the most rewarding media stories was the simple fact that Butler's men's basketball student-athletes attended classes on the day of the championship game. Butler wouldn't have it any other way.
In May of 2012, Collier and President James Danko oversaw the school's move to the Atlantic 10 Conference. The move not only brought higher levels of exposure and athletic competition, the change aligned Butler University with some of the nation's premier public and private institutions. "The move to the A-10 is due to the tremendous support, leadership and vision of President Jim Danko. Butler will be realizing an opportunity to associate with more like-minded universities, expand its national reputation and footprint, and compete in one of the premier athletic conferences in the country," Collier said. "Our student-athletes will also benefit from visiting the world's leading financial and government centers as well as the birthplace of our nation."
"It is a privilege to represent Butler University as a student-athlete, coach or support staffer. We are fortunate to enjoy the combination of academic excellence and athletic accomplishment with the support of the extraordinary students, faculty, staff, trustees, alumni and friends of Butler University," said Collier. "Our Butler coaching and support staffs are so incredibly dedicated that it is inspiring to work with them. Each member of our athletics team is greatly valued and critical to our overall success."
Collier's vision for an exceptional student-athlete experience is evident when one looks at the improvement in Butler's athletic facilities during recent years. Upgrades and/or expansion to the Davey Outdoor Track and Field, Butler Bowl, Bulldog Park (baseball), Butler Softball Field, Butler Tennis Courts, Butler Indoor Hitting Facility and Hinkle Fieldhouse have given BU's student-athletes improved spaces in which to build their teams, train, practice and compete.
"Most of the facility improvements have occurred because of the generous support we receive from our donors to the Bulldog Club. Butler Athletics' booster organization has tripled in donors members during the past six years and their contributions increased nearly five-fold). Our donors are incredibly passionate about their Bulldogs. We can't thank them enough," Collier said. "Corporate Partnerships have doubled and their support has more than tripled." Ticket sales for the Bulldog athletic contests have increased 319 percent. Televised games have tripled and website hits to Butlersports.com exceeded 100 million in 2010 and 2011. This increased interest, pride, attendance and support have underpinned the experiences of Butler's student-athletes and teams.
Collier's loyalty to and belief in Butler began as a student, grew as an alum, increased as a coach and now has enlarged in his current role. Serving on the President's Cabinet, Collier supports the University's mission by assisting in the development and execution of its strategic direction. Teaming with multiple colleges and divisions of Butler, Athletics has collaborated on various initiatives to advance the university. From teaching an honors class on the history of Butler athletics, to collaborating with College of Education and College of Business projects, to working closely with the division of Advancement, Collier has worked to fully integrate Butler Athletics into the University.
Prior to his move to athletics administration in 2006, Collier was a college basketball coach at seven different institutions. Assistant coaching stints at Rose-Hulman, Seattle Central Community College, Idaho, Oregon and Stanford led to his first head coaching position at Butler in 1989. As Butler's coach, Collier led the Bulldogs for 11 years and to six postseason campaigns. In 1997, Collier mentored the Bulldogs to an NCAA Tournament appearance, the school's first in 35 years.
During his 11 seasons at BU, Collier had two players earn MCC Player of the Year honors. He had one player named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America team and had one player earn a prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship. Of the 37 players who completed their senior season under him, 36 earned their degree. Overall, he guided the Bulldogs to a 196-132 record, including a then-school-record five 20-win seasons. Prior to his arrival, Butler had just two 20-win seasons in 91 years of intercollegiate basketball. In his last four seasons at Butler, Collier guided the Bulldogs to a 90-39 (.698) record and four consecutive postseason tournament appearances. His 196 career wins are currently the second-highest total in Butler history. He was named MCC Coach of the Year in 1991, 1997, 1999 and 2000.
In 2000, Collier was named the head men's basketball coach at the University of Nebraska. Taking over the Cornhuskers allowed him to reunite with Nebraska's Athletic Director Bill Byrne, who worked with Collier during his days at Oregon. In Collier's six years at Nebraska, the Huskers progressed from an 11-19 record to 19-14 and earned their second postseason NIT appearance in three years. Included in the 19 victories in 2005-06, were a pair of wins over nationally-ranked teams, giving the Huskers five upsets of "Top 25" teams in Collier's last three seasons.
During Collier's tenure in Lincoln, the Huskers saw an unprecedented rise in academic standing. Nebraska had a league-leading 15 first team academic All-Big 12 selections between 2003 and 2006, including two academic all-district performers in 2006. In addition, 17 of the 20 Huskers who completed their senior season under Collier earned their college diplomas.
Collier attended Miami Palmetto High School in Miami, Fla., and later received an Associate of Arts degree from Miami-Dade Community College. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Butler in 1976 and a Master of Science degree from Indiana State University in 1977. He has been a member of the National Association of Basketball Coaches for 36 years, and he was named to the NABC Board of Directors in 2002 and served through 2006. He and his wife, Annette, are the parents of Casey (married to McKenzie), a 2006 Nebraska graduate and a 2009 Nebraska Medical School graduate, Brady, a 2008 Nebraska graduate, and Clay, a 2011 Butler graduate.
"I congratulate Butler University on the successful recruitment of Barry Collier to succeed John Parry as athletic director. When I wrote to Barry after his appointment as head basketball coach in 1989, he reminded me that we had met during a visit, which I enjoyed in 1975 at his Butler fraternity Lambda Chi Alpha, when I was Mayor of Indianapolis. He mentioned that we both had been fortunate to move on to bigger opportunities. I appreciated many visits with Coach Collier during his remarkably successful coaching career at Butler, and I look forward to many more opportunities to work with him during our annual fitness festivals each September at Butler." --Senator Richard G. Lugar
"Barry is a first class guy in every way. He was the first guy I tried to hire when I took the (head-coaching) job at Stanford. He's very organized and he can grab a project and get it done. He has great leadership ability, and his integrity is above reproach."--Mike Montgomery, Head Coach, University of California
"What you have in Barry Collier is a guy with incredible class and integrity. While I hate to see him leave the coaching profession, we need guys like him in administration. He's been very successful at a lot of different levels. This is a great deal for Butler and a great deal for all of us. He's very smart, and I think he gets it." --Tom Izzo, Head Coach, Michigan State University
"I couldn't be happier for Barry Collier and for Butler University. I said 12 years ago that I thought Barry would make an outstanding athletic director. When you look at what he stands for, his principles and integrity coincide with everything that Butler is about." --Thad Matta, Head Coach, Ohio State University
"Barry is a high integrity guy. His word can be believed. I have a very high regard for his character. He's very bright and a very good listener. He's interested in what others have to say, and he's very good at seeing a problem and arriving at a solution."--Jim Haney, Executive Director, National Association of Basketball Coaches
"Barry is a highly-respected individual in the basketball community in Indiana and nationwide. He's currently serving on the Board of Directors of the NABC, and he's a person of sound judgement. The fact that he played the game and coached basketball at Butler is certainly a plus. He knows the university environment, he knows the city and he knows the constituents of the university. Butler is very fortunate to have him return as athletic director."--Tom Jernstedt, Executive Vice President, NCAA
"I can think of no finer representative of Butler excellence and the Butler way to do things right than Barry. He is well known, presents himself well and knows what he is doing. His ability to attract and mentor top talent has been proven and I believe would be a quality to make him a great success as A.D. He will continue to emphasize Butler values, not only within the Butler community, but in central Indiana and nationwide." --R. Mark Lawrance, Indiana Chamber of Commerce

Every effective skin care program begins with a thorough cleansing. BABOR Cleansers eliminate impurities that can build up on the skin's surface and within the pores. Dead skin cells, excess sebum, dirt, makeup and other impurities can all be washed away with regular use of BABOR Cleansers. No moisturizer or treatment product should be applied to the skin without first starting with the clean slate you get from BABOR Cleansers. The formulas were designed to be purifying while never stripping the natural moisture from the skin. BABOR Cleansers leave the skin feeling refreshed but also calm and never tight or irritated.
BABOR Cleansers allow other steps in a beauty routine to perform better. When impurities are removed from the surface of the skin, moisturizers and active ingredients are allowed to penetrate deeply to benefit live skin cells. BABOR Cleansers leave the skin in a purified state in order for active treatment products and hydrators to perform at their highest levels.
Because there are so many different skin types and concerns, there are several different BABOR Cleansers to allow for a custom cleanse.
BABOR Cleansing Gel and Tonic is ideal for those with oily skin who are prone to acne breakouts. This is a refreshing deep cleansing gel that purifies congested skin and clarifies the pores using salicylic acid. The cleanser helps to clear up acne blemishes while preventing the formation of new breakouts. BABOR Cleansing Gel and Tonic acts as a cleanser and a toner in one easy step. Squeaky clean skin is the first step to a clear complexion.
BABOR Baborganic Biological Enzyme Cleanser comes in a unique powder form. It cleanses the skin while also exfoliating with a non-irritating enzyme. This is a great choice for dull skin that is seeing signs of aging. The exfoliating process encourages a healthy rate of turnover. Dull dead skin cells are sloughed off to reveal a smoother surface. Vitamin C is added for its protective antioxidants. Regular use of BABOR Baborganic Biological Enzyme Cleanser keeps the dead skin layer at bay to maintain a fresh and youthful appearance.
Sensitive types need to be very careful with cleansers since reactions often occur during and after the cleansing process. BABOR Mild Cleanser is an exceptionally gentle cleansing milk that does not contain any fragrance or artificial colors. This cleanser contains natural plant extracts which hydrate the skin and prevent dryness and irritation. This cleanser can be used every day without the worries of a negative reaction.

Listen... do you hear your song yet?
by Eric Petersen
posted Jan 24 2014 10:09AM
Every so often I am reminded that I am the "paternal figure" of the Froggy101 staff being the eldest member since my predecessor left four years ago (thanks Ken), and for a short period of time I was bugged by holding the title of
Father Figure
to an entire staff of people, two of which are twenty years my junior… but those days are over.
For some reason the New Year has put a song in my head that keeps repeating over and over, and it seems like a decent mantra for my feelings as of late. "Song for the Life" was written Rodney Crowell and first recorded in 1978 and eventually covered by Alan Jackson (where I heard it) in 1995. The lyrics tell an almost eerily accurate description of my life these days as if I had written them myself, and I hear them constantly echoing in thoughts my as a reminder of maturity's gift to me:
And somehow I've learned how to listen
For a sound like the sun going down
And the magic the morning is bringing
There's a song for the life I have found
It keeps my feet on the ground
Sadly I was a tortured soul in my twenties and thirties, and admittedly in the early part of my forties, but that was because of the decisions that I'd made that I knew flew in the face of logic. I truly enjoyed "swimming upstream" and ignoring the things that would be good for me and instead opted for the shallowness of tiptoeing my way across a proverbial minefield. For reasons that I still cannot explain, I chose things for my life that were insanely and obviously wrong, and I knew it, but I eagerly went there anyway!
Then something amazing happened. As the
kept on coming and the disappointment numbers mounted I stopped- and began to listen… just listen; I wasn't sure what for at the time, but I stayed there focused and determined to hear what it was I was listening for- I just listened.
What I eventually heard was astonishing… It was the voice of experience… It said that: it was ok; that an ending is inevitable; that there was an amazing magic to the possibilities that a new day would bring, and that my existence now had a depth to it like never before. My life had changed and so had I and it was perfect because of its awful and absolute imperfection.
If I may offer you a piece of advice, it's this: take a moment today to start listening… it won't happen as fast as you think, but someday, not so long from now, you will hear the
song for the life
that you have found… and it will be perfect too.

SILVER SPRING, Md. (WUSA9) -- A student was shot with a TASER at a Montgomery County High School, police said.
It happened around 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, at Blair High School, in Silver Spring, when police say a female student refused to go back in school, after being ordered to do so by a female school resource officer, police said.
The student then struck the police officer, officials said. The officer pulled out her TASER and "deployed the device" onto her.
The student was taken to the hospital and checked out, then released.
She is charged with second degree assault and disruption of school, police said.

because M1 decides to take over the entire box like an alien facehugger, I opted to use the zimbra mysql install and added my own databases, rather than try and fit zimbra onto the system mysql. before uninstalling and installing M2, i backed up /var/lib/mysql and restarted. however, i now find that for some reason this is very old data, has the zimbra mysql always been in /opt/zimbra/db/data? is this completely wiped on an uninstall? have i just lost all my data? grrr.
does the upgrade procedure work under any circumstances? i got the same errors as reported here by several other people, but I have a standard M1 install on RHEL4. how else is the upgrade supposed to work? was this ever tested before release?
i was considering buying network edition for several companies but I have serious doubts about the suitability of this software for production use. any idea when it will be classed as 'production ready'?

View the Online Exhibit
Alexander Jackson Davis (1803-1892), a notable 19th century American architect, designed the VMI Barracks, professors' residences and other Institute buildings during the 1850's-1860's. Born in New York, Davis studied at the American Academy of Fine Arts and the National Academy of Design. He helped to popularize the Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, and Italianate styles, and his many important projects included private residences as well as public buildings. Davis has long been recognized by historians as the most significant American practitioner of the "secular gothic," and VMI was the first American college planned entirely in the Gothic Revival style. This style incorporates towers, turrets, and other design elements first used in medieval castles and cathedrals. The Barracks was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966, and the VMI Post was named a National Historic District in 1974.
VMI owns 27 original Davis drawings. Davis's association with VMI came about as a result of his design work for Philip St. George Cocke, a wealthy Virginia planter and member of the VMI Board of Visitors. Cocke, an impassioned advocate of the Gothic style, employed Davis to design "Belmead" the Cocke residence in Powhatan County, Virginia. Cocke became Davis's patron in the state, and when VMI began its building program in the late 1840's, it turned to Davis to create a comprehensive plan for the Institute. During the period 1850-1861, a significant portion of the Barracks, a Porter's Lodge, Mess Hall, the Superintendent's residence, and several faculty residences were constructed using Davis's designs. Davis's dream of completing the Barracks quadrangle was interrupted by the Civil War and VMI's post-war financial problems, and his work for the Institute ended in the 1870's. It was not until the early 20th century that his vision for the Parade Ground facade of Barracks was realized, based on a Davis-inspired design by another noted architect, Bertram Goodhue.

The CMS Stag and Athena swim and dive teams each moved to 4-0 in the SCIAC with substantial wins over the University of La Verne Leopards at the Flores Park Pool in La Verne. The Stags won all 16 events, while the Athenas took 15 of the 16 contests, en route to 258-81 and 267-66 victories.
"We experimented with some new events today and posted many more personal bests than we typically see in January," said Coach Charlie Griffiths. "The squad showed impressive versatility."
For the second consecutive week, CMS earned one-two finishes in all four relay events.
Individually, CMS had a pair of double-winners on the boards, as junior Carmen Lundell and frosh James Stevick won their respective 1-meter and 3-meter diving competitions. Likewise, a pair of swimmers nabbed two events each. Sophomore Michele Kee finished first in the 200 yard freestyle and the 200 yard breaststroke for the Athenas. Senior Stag, Austin Hallett, won the 50 yard freestyle and the 200 yard backstroke.
Nineteen additional CMS swimmers won individual events. Click here for complete results.
CMS returns home next weekend to take on the Occidental Tigers. Competition begins at 11:00 a.m.

This mid-1860s CDV caught my eye for a couple reasons. First, the amazing hand tinting of the woman produced a vibrantly colored scarlet dress. Next, the image comes from "Brady's National Portrait Gallery" and includes a canceled 2-cent tax stamp (proprietary series) on the verso. Mathew Brady is best known for making portraits of celebrities and documenting the American Civil War. Cameras attributed to his studios are highly coveted by collectors - unfortunately I don't have a Brady camera.
However, this CDV includes a paste-on label covering part of the Brady stamp with the description: "Specialiste. Selby & McCauley Photograph Album & Carte de Visite Depot". It seems that Selby & McCauley added their label to CDVs of famous people taken by firms such as; Israel & Co., E. & H.T. Anthony, Brady's galleries, and others. Examples of CDVs with Selby & McCauley labels include Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses Grant, and numerous civil war officers such as Major General Gouverneur K. Warren, General Edward Ferrero, Gen. Samuel Crawford and others.
Could it be that the woman in this picture was someone notable?

Cappaert Homers Give ISU Doubleheader Split
AMES, Iowa – Aly Cappaert's eighth-inning walk-off home run led Iowa State to a doubleheader split with Northern Illinois Tuesday at the Cyclone Sports Complex. After Northern Illinois won the first game 15-6 in five innings, the Cyclones came back with a 6-5 win in eight innings in the second game. Iowa State's record is now 17-10 on the season, while Northern Illinois moved to 10-12.
During the first game of the day, Brittany Gomez recorded a stolen base that moved her into sole possession of Iowa State's all-time stolen base record.
Game Two: Iowa State 6, Northern Illinois 5
After starting the first game in a 6-0 hole, Iowa State was the side that pulled ahead to start the second game. Brittany Gomez led off the bottom of the first inning with a triple to left-center field, and she was driven in on the next play via Sarah Hawryluk single to left to make it 1-0 Cyclones.
The Huskies moved ahead after putting up runs in the second and third, but Iowa State was able to equalize in the bottom of the fourth when Sara Davison posted a one-out double. Two batters later, Jorden Spendlove grounded out, but that was enough to bring Davison home and the game was tied 2-2.
NIU moved back ahead in the fifth, but Cappaert put her first big show on of the day to move ISU back in front. After Rachel Hartman tied the game with an RBI-single that scored Hawryluk, Cappaert hit the biggest home run of the Iowa State season with a crushing drive to center field that hit a fence surrounding the Cyclone Sports Complex on the fly, well over 300 feet away to put the Cyclones ahead 5-3. The home run also ended the day of NIU starting hurler Rebecca Rupard in the circle.
Northern Illinois was able to force extra innings when Shelby Miller hit a home run about one foot to the right of the left field foul pole to tie the score at 5-5.
NIU reliever Jessica Sturm had allowed only one hit in her stint in the circle, but coming into the bottom of the eighth the only Cyclone she had not faced yet was Cappaert. On a 2-0 count, Cappaert got the green light and smashed the game-winning home run over the wall in right-center and over the sidewalk outside the Cyclone Sports Complex to give ISU the win and send the fans home happy.
Game One: Northern Illinois 15, Iowa State 6
The Huskies immediately got to ISU starter Katie Johnson, with the freshman hurler unable to get out of the first inning and in a 6-0 hole. The Cyclone offense got two back in the bottom of the first via RBIs from Lexi Slater and Rachel Hartman, but the NIU offense then got to Paris Imholz, who gave up four runs herself before being taken out of the game for Stacy Roggentien.
The Cyclone offense looked to have made a statement of intent in the bottom of the second, while down 10-2, when Sara Davison belted a 3-run home run to left field to reduce the Huskies lead to 10-5. While the NIU bats were beginning to cool down, so were the ISU bats as Iowa State could not get anything going late on and had to settle for the five-inning defeat.
In the bottom of the first inning, Brittany Gomez made ISU history by stealing her 49th career base, moving her into sole possession of ISU's all-time stolen bases record. The sophomore had held the record with Adi Blackmon (2000-03) for the past week.
On Deck
Iowa State will be back at the Cyclone Sports Complex on Thursday when they take on the South Dakota Coyotes in a doubleheader beginning at 2 p.m. with the second game starting around 4 p.m.

So I wrote a script to run through all of our current users and distribution lists (will post to the wiki soon) and and add them as distribution lists (for migration purposes).
Here's my problem... I am migrating users, slowly. To add a user to Zimbra, I need to delete the distribution list and add an account with the same name. When I delete the distribution list, it removes itself from any other distribution list, effectively losing all list memberships.
NOTE: I understand that this is a feature (and a pretty kicka** feature at that... it would suck if it didn't) but it makes my migration difficult.
My question... is there a way, maybe through zmprov to modify a distribution list to convert it into an account?
A workaround could be to just run my script for every user that I move over, or write a new one that queries current memberships, then deletes the list, and adds an account, then joins user to the lists...

Frenetic money man Jim Cramer named Take-Two chairman Strauss Zelnick to the "Wall of Shame" on his popular Mad Money program yesterday.
Cramer blasted Zelnick and a pair of CEOs from other companies for failing to accept takeover bids and then seeing their stock values collapse.
As has been widely reported on GamePolitics and other sites, Zelnick rejected a $25.74 acquisistion offer from Electronic Arts earlier this year. EA eventually walked away from the deal. The Grand Theft Auto publisher's stock (TTWO) will open at 13.15 this morning. Among Cramer's trashing of the T2 boss:
[EA's offer was] an offer no sane man can refuse. But Strauss Zelnick, Take-two's chairman did just that…
Welcome to the Wall of Shame, Strauss Zelnick. You managed to take a sure thing, a $25 stock and turn it into a $13 one. That takes talent.

Why more debates in a Republican Primary is actually a good thing.
Okay folks, I'm going to go against the grain and say the number of debates wasn't the problem. Romney would have won the nomination by default in 2012 simply because of all the money. Romney spent a total of $76.6 million, far more than any other campaign. That total is, for example, more than the combined spending of Ron Paul, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich. | Read More »

I have an Idea... As someone suggested earlier; magic could be present naturally in the universe. Magic is a source of energy, it could be life, the light, heat... The source of magic radiation could be a star, life or the plane (the current universe) itself.
Let take the star as an example: everyday it produce a large amount of energy. One part is directed toward the world. Naturally, the environment stock that energy. Generally, the capacity is limited and when the level of saturation is attained, the energy flow toward lower energy sites, just like the wind blow from high to low pressure zones. Lifeforms absorbs energy too, probably in greater quantity. So most people have magic energy inside them but have no idea how to use it. When casting a spell, a mage could use his surroundings to fuel his spell. he could go as far as killing other lifeforms if he pushes too hard.
Magic could exist in the form of thermal energy; it mean that casting a spell will make the area colder. The hotter the place, the more powerful the spell can be...
Or it could be more like in the Forgotten realms: magic exist in the world and replenish over time but we are not sure of it's source.
Using magic would then be dangerous to use. The mage have to stock energy inside him , and that alone could hurt him. And using spells that way will also tire the mage.
One could use a catalyst in order to gather magic energy for future uses. It's safer but also limited in capacity.
Different forms of magic could exist. For example, one that is based on the shadow, the moon, or that other star (it's a far and much colder star).

|Malaria deaths cut in half by Methodist global effort
|Written by Darci Tomky
Every 60 seconds, malaria claims a life in Africa, and the local First United Methodist Church is putting their faith into action to help eradicate the disease worldwide.
Imagine No Malaria is an extraordinary effort of the people of the global United Methodist Church to end these preventable deaths.
Holyoke's church has pledged to raise $5,000 by April 25, 2014, World Malaria Day. Their conference of 250 churches is aiming for $4 million, while the global network of churches set a goal of $70 million, reported local pastor Al Strauss.
Imagine No Malaria is a program that has built on the success of Nothing But Nets, a campaign founded by the United Nations Foundation in 2006. As a founding member, the United Methodist Church helped raise money to provide insecticide-treated bed nets to Africa.

Iowa State: Anyone who's a true college basketball fan needs to see a game at Hilton Coliseum. Nice is in the DNA of Iowans and the fans here are particularly gracious -- even when the home team loses but gives a great effort, they are appreciative.
ESPN.com picked Hilton Coliseum as the "Hot Arena" in the Big 12...coaches in the league noted that, "regardless of talent, the Cyclones have a home court like no other."
Karma check.
Ouch - Karma is dead to me...
