Project BMW 357i V8 from UK
First post
I thought you might like to see my little project I've been doing & am part way thro. I've been posting it on E46Zone so I've copied it over hope it works...
As some of you are already aware I do some wiring work for Craig Taylor @ DynoTorque / CAL Sport apart from running a motorcycle dyno Craig is also an expert fabricator/engineer & puts LS 1/2/3 engines into different cars I've wired a dozen or so up for him & the V8 rumble/torque has finally got under my skin so he's making me one
I've bought a 2001 325 M Sport Coupe for the conversion into which is going an LS1 5.7l GTO engine & 6 speed box, it's not 'just' an engine swap tho it'll need hand made header pipes, prop, steering rod etc & while we are it were installing the rear end from an E46 M3 to give the car an LSD upgrading the suspension & brakes as well as sorting all the niggles with the car.
It's going to take quite a while to do & the engine is on its way from Canada & should land end of May or early June, in the mean time I'm assembling/sourcing all the parts etc
The Car...
M3 LSD Diff & rear end
LS1 5.7l GTO Engine & box
Laser cut widgets for the custom headers
The Carbon cube trim was worn out on the drivers door & needed replacing as I had to the door trim off to fix the CDL I decided I'd have a go at painting the trim & see what it looked like
I think it looks ok not sure if I'll do the rest or just get a new carbon trim for the drivers door
All the old bits engine/box/ecu/diff etc will be up for sale soon if anybody is in need of parts.
Rear AP calipers being sized up for brackets onto M3 read discs
A quick update or backdate
I sourced an M3 propshaft from a local breakers for £95
Brakes are proving to be a tad more trying tho...... The rear AP I'd sourced was TVR Cerebra I have a mate who has one (suprisingly enough with an LS V8 in it) & he had a matching AP for the other one I had so we swapped only for me to discover his AP a rear & mine is a front!!! Never mind I'm still going to get the brackets made up & when another rear caliper turns up I'll fit them then.
Front brakes are causing problems too well the brembo I won on eBay hasn't turned up lots of comms from the seller before I paid & zero since, his auction said the item was in Malvern & cash on collection but when I'd won he made some story about being on holiday in Aus for 5 weeks & his sister had them in newcastle so he could only post them etc... So I'm currently going thro the eBay dispute system....
Well I have to give eBay a thumbs up money was back in my account by lunch time yesterday & I 'think' I may have sourced some AP 4 pots too
Loobed my old black MV1's on still not sure on what to do about wheels unlike most I really like MV1's but this is 3rd car that's had them,,,,
Well the scales say 1421KG lets see how much it gains when it's finished.
Craig measuring up for the mounting brackets for the AP Calipers & bigger discs
It needed a small spacer to clear the wheel but I'd intended to run spacers as the wheels sit to far in anyway so I popped next door & pinched some from driftworks....
Next up is the AP rear calipers
While I was @ driftworks I got Phil's old H&R anti roll bar off him for mine, my pile of stuff in the corner is getting bigger
Ready for bodyshop
Rear brakes are done
Car is back from bodyshop & Droftworks brought round a load of boxes (HSD's anti rollbars brakelines & loads of powerflex bushes.
The new radiator, engine mounts & fuel pressure reg/filter have been delivered too.
Engine should be here next week too Craig is stacked with big jobs so I doubt much if anything will start to happen for the next week or two but I'll be badgering him lots n lots!!!
Shiny things
Tomorrow I'm taking the subframe/diff etc out so I can measure up for the additional suports, I guess the project starts in ernest tomorrow
The engine is just waiting for customs clearance then I'll be off to London Port to collect it, I'm ready to burst!!!
We have started!!!
Complete back end removed so Craig can stiffen up the subframe mounting points
& it's a good job we were planning to stiffen the back end up.... the trained eyes will see the crack starting & the movement on the spot welds
Today I've removed the 2.5 engine/gearbox/wiring & front suspension.
There isn't a lot of the car I bought left...... Tomorrow will be spent delivering all the bits I've removed to it's new owner & gettibg the boot floor ready for the DynoTorque upgrade kit.
Oh & more shiny stuff arrived today too :)
The DynoTorque subframe kit waiting to be fitted
I've not done much the last few days, Craig has had a look at the engine & the clutch is fubar'd :( It seems clutches are a weak point on LS1's & the clutch of choice is an LS7 but to fit an LS7 clutch you need an LS7 flywheel too all in about £700 ish :( Why did I buy that cam LOL after a bit of surching I found a brand new one that's been taken off a new engine for £300 :D
Ive put the new front shocks on
Craig busy making a racket grinding & then welding in the DynoTorque subframe strengthening kit
Tomorrow I'll finish re-bushing the M3 subframe, anti roll bar & trailing arm & start sorting brake lines then I can re-fit the petrol tank & subframe maybe....
Painted the repair
Subframe poly bushed
& then got it back into the car
Got the rear suspension & brakes on & ran new braided brake lines to the front
How sad am I ;)
Craig's been busy today
He's made an new steering arm & relocted the ABS
Going to be a slow couple of weeks on this now when I ordered the engine I ordered it with a certain type of sump unforttunately the breaker didn't have one so he fitted a different one thinking it would be ok so after a quick measure up it defo won't fit with this sump & I've been able to source one in the UK so the sump he's fitted is being sent back & a the correct sump is being sent out to me, so just a case of being patient which is something I fail at!!!! The frustraiting thing is had he asked we'd have told him the sump he fitted wouldn't work.... until the sump is in Craig can't mount the engine, so he can't make the headers or get the propshaft modded & I can't start the wiring etc....
Anyway I can't post without one pic so here's what the engine looks like with no sump
I've made a start on the wiring....
& pushed it outside for a wash
The black wheels look better clean & in the sunlight
& That's where I'm at stuck waiting for Calspeed to send the correct sump & ThunderRacing to send the cam...
Has anybody else done one of these & can give me some help with the can bus tacho & coolant temp??
As I said not much can be done until the sump etc turn up but I've been doing my best to keep it moving along...
All the brake lines are now connected to the moved ABS pump
Done as much of the wiring as I can for now
What do you do when you can't buy a big enough back box? Well if your Craig Taylor you just cut/weld/bend one till it's the right size....
And then this morning Fedex handed me a package....
Just waiting (still) on the sump despite lots of assurances from the place I bought my engine (Calspeed & Performance) from were still waiting for them to sort their mistake out.
I love this
subscribed :)
wow thats a lot of work
Can't believe I haven't kept this thread upto date, car is finished bar a few niggles to iron out & being used regularly
A minor update
Sump has finally tuned up late today :D so things should start moving forward, not that we've been idle while waiting for it..
Craig has fitted the new cam, cam chain, pushrods, uprated valve springs & collets
The engine just waiting for the correct sump.....
We've been able to do a bit on the exhaust & some of the pipework under the bonnet
A friend of mine has been over today looking at the canbus side of things & it's quite involved & going to take some work to do so as temp quick fix I'm going to install a set of E36 clocks I have while Rob works on the can bus.
This morning Craig fitted the LS7 clutch & T56 gearbox together & then poked the engine into the hole.....
& the he made some engine & gearbox mounts
& it's in :)
That's a very long difficult day made to sound very easy.... it's not trust me!
I've dropped the prop off to be shortened & have the correct end fitted for the T56 box & in the morning I'm off to Jetex to collect the bends & pipe/parts so Craig can start making the headers
It's been a busy few days for Craig @ DynoTorque he,s made the exhaust headers & connected them to rear section along with sorting power steering lines.
Waiting for the t**t that's borrowed efi live to bring it back so I can unlock the ECU then it will start :)
It runs :)
Still plenty of work to do before it's finished if a car like this is ever finished.....
Seems like I've got a faulty brake master cylinder as I no pressure to the rear brakes, not ideal ;)
Needs to have the wheels aligned etc & still quite a bit of wiring/interfacing to sort out so still a few late nights left in it yet!!!!
But I'm a happy chap Craig's work is amazing I can't thank him enough for the work he's done & the endless advice & use of his workshop for the last month or two, I honestly wouldn't trust anyone else with car/van/bikes
Oh yeah it's gained a bit of weight..... It's 1499kg so 78kg heavier not all of that is engine tho, it's down to bigger brakes/wheel spacers/anti roll bars/diff/boot floor mods etc so it's about the same weight as a STD M3
I taxed it earlier & have done 5-6 miles in it, it's fast.... I love the way when you rev it the car rocks side to side, it's as quite as I could make it but you can still hear the V8 rumble it's almost wrong in a BMW. I've got lots to sort out before it's really roadworthy at the moment the brakes aren't working correctly, no abs, speedo or any gauges apart from fuel I think the can bus is connected to more of the car than I first thought. Lots to do but I can already tell this is going to be a fantastic car
I've got to the bottom of some of my issues today I've refitted the BMW engine ecu with hindsight I should never have removed it.... & now have a working temp gauge :) & I've been able to scan the car & the reason (or at least one of) I have no abs or speedo is because the car is not seeing the rear wheel sensors the M3 rear end is from a later 2004 car with DSC & it looks like the sensors are not compatible with my ASC unit so tomorrow I'm going to try & get some older sensors & fit them, with a bit of luck that will sort my brake issues too only leaving to decide which way to resolve the tacho either machine my front pulley & fit the BMW sensor or source a convert box from the chevvy crank sensor to the BMW one.
Todo list is very small indeed, aircon pipes/gas, bleed clutch, fit trigger ring for rev counter & clean it
The last few days have been a blur!!!! I'd say the car is 90% now my todo list is almost empty :) I think all that's left is to have the aircon gassed, alignment done & tweak the map when it's got a few more miles on it, oh & fix it.....
Obv you just can't buy aircon lines for chevvy in a bmw off the shelf so at DynoTorque that means Craig makes them....
I've gained control of most of my gauges, I made this really hard work for myself by taking out & selling the bmw ecu with the engine I didn't realise how much of the car was connected to the DME, heater, aircon, abs, speedo instrument cluster with the help of my mate rob & a bentley manual, bmw tis, bmw laptop software, chevvy laptop software, digital volt meter & a lot of time we refitted what we needed of the bmw DME & wiring and had a trigger wheel made to so the DME still thinks the bmw engine is fitted.....
All of which gives it
Took a couple of pics before I drove home in it last night
Unfortunately the bmw expansion tank has sprung a leak so I'm off to try & source one or there will be UBMW for me :(
Not really an update more just an excuse to post a pic or two
Wideband sensor controller
Craig made me an adaptor to put the sensor in the exhaust
Still a few bits to to make it 100% finished but its getting close
Brakes: I'm hating brakes at the moment! I found that the ABS module was faulty so finally gave in and ditched it another set of new braided lines were made up and fitted, I have brakes..... Well kinda it now stops in a straight line but pedal feel travel is still the same :( So it must be a master cylinder ratio issue even tho the maths say it's all fine.... So I replace it with a bigger one & also put the rear AP calipers back on & the difference is minmal :( Without Craig pushing me at this point I'd have just parked it up & sulked! Craig modified the pedal pivot but still no real difference it seems that everything makes it a 'little' better but nothing fixes it 100% we also changed the servo as we had one but no difference... I'm beaten!!! Craig isn't tho he checks the internal diameter of the pipes & it's dash 4 not the dash 3 he specified (means nowt to me either) so yesterday I made new front lines with dash 3 and the pedal is 75% better!!! Going to change the rear lines too & fingers crossed I should have the amazing brakes this car needs! Craig your a hero without you this would be just another unfinished project.
I've made a sensor pad bypass for the passenger seat airbag mean the pass airbag will always trigger now, these are on eBay for £15 but I made mine using 2 100ohm resistors & a diode so about a £1
I've replaced the front tyres with some awesome Dunlops (well Craig treated me to them as a unneeded thank you for getting his website up to date :) ) they have transformed the car the grip & turn in is fantastic wet or dry very impressed this is the first E46 I've had that doesn't understeer
I've been twiddling with the HSD's & have a decent compromise between looks & bottoming out getting to the garage, I've also backed the front camber off from 3degrees to 2degrees since fitting the Dunlops but will still get it aligned at some point if only to see how close to correct I've got it.
Been logging the fuelling/mapping & it was being restricted by the MAF/throttle body so before an E46 forum dyno day I decided I'd change the MAF with one we had just before I left for the dyno.... Car felt flat as a fart :( and made shockingly low 326bhp on the dyno, on my return to DynoTorque after some of the piss take had stopped Craig told me the MAF I'd put on was from a car that had been written off in floods..... No wonder it felt flat!!! So I took it off & Craig got busy porting the throttle body for me & also persuaded Pinhead to remove the LS2 MAF from his ute (he's had a mafless tune) so I could use it on mine a few new pipes later & it feels like a new car the bottom end is now so sharp the pick up is much faster :) much more mapping/tuning is needed but I can't believe the difference it's made so far.
So my to do list now looks like:
Replace rear brake lines again
Interface LS1/BMW oil sensor
Fit/gas aircon compressor
Front strut brace
Fit Parrot
Fix rattles
And more destroying rear tyres :)
Aircon compressor & lines fitted just need to get it gassed
Strut brace is being made this week
I've found two of the rattles (both are not conversion related)
I'm about to make my first mapping changes to the ecu
& it needs more tyres....
Took the car over to Greg @ ProTuner for mapping today 14 hours of mapping....
I'll let the pics & vids do the talking
And of course the scores on the door.....
407 bhp 430ft Lbs both at flywheel
I love this car B) I needed to go into brum earlier & left it parked in a side street, when I walked back to the car it just looked aggressive I walked past it & then back from the other way just so I could look it some more.... Not sure if it makes me a bit odd tho? I wanted to take a pic but felt like a twat so didn't lol
Popped into DynoTorque on the way back for a cuppa & cause the car keeps leaving lines.... Craig thinks it may be impossible to fix.....
Any ideas on how I can fix this problem.... ;)
Took a few new pics & never being one to miss a chance to post them enjoy
My fav pic of the car to date :)
Whats a 357i?
that is an awesome car. Reminds me of the build where they put the corvette engine into the IS300. Props for keeping it looking stock with that monster under the hood!
AMAZING job, and props to you for doing this!! Some purists here have their opinions about a conversion like this, and they're entitled to it, but I personally love it, and would be my dream someday if and when my motor dies. Seems like a LOT of work, but it must be nice to have a friend like Craig.
Thanks very much for the detailed descriptions and pictures, and enjoy your 'new' 357ci!

Correspondence to: Melvin R. Pratter, MD, FCCP, Robert Wood Johnson School of Medicine at Camden, Suite 312, 3 Cooper Plaza, Camden, NJ 08103; e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Objective: To review the literature on cough and the common cold.
Methods: MEDLINE was searched through May 2004 for studies published in the English language since 1980 on human subjects using the medical subject heading terms "cough" and "common cold." Selected case series and prospective descriptive clinical trials were reviewed. Additional references from these studies that were pertinent to the topic were also reviewed.
Results: Based on extrapolation from epidemiologic data, the common cold is believed to be the single most common cause of acute cough. The most likely mechanism is the direct irritation of upper airway structures. It is also clear that viral infections of the upper respiratory tract that produce the common cold syndrome frequently produce a rhinosinusitis. In the setting of a cold, the presence of abnormalities seen on sinus roentgenograms or sinus CT scans are frequently due to the viral infection and are not diagnostic of bacterial sinus infection.
Conclusion: Cough due to the common cold is probably the most common cause of acute cough. In a significant subset of patients with "postinfectious" cough, the etiology is probably an inflammatory response triggered by a viral upper respiratory infection (ie, the common cold). The resultant subacute or chronic cough can be considered to be due to an upper airway cough syndrome, previously referred to as postnasal drip syndrome. This process can be self-perpetuating unless interrupted with active treatment.
In preparing this section, MEDLINE was searched through May 2004 for studies published in the English language since 1980 on human subjects using the medical subject heading terms "cough" and "common cold." Selected case series and prospective descriptive clinical trials were reviewed. Additional references from these studies that were pertinent to the topic were also reviewed.
The common cold is one of the most common infectious diseases of humankind.1Adults in the United States experience two to four colds per year. At least 200 identified viruses are capable of causing the common cold2; it is thus more aptly termed the common cold syndrome. Implicated viruses include rhinoviruses, coronaviruses, parainfluenza viruses, respiratory syncytial virus, adenoviruses, and enteroviruses. The histologic effects of infection vary from epithelial destruction to the absence of histologic changes, but all can cause vasodilation and hypersecretion; the clinical syndrome of nasal congestion, nasal discharge, postnasal drip (PND), throat clearing, sneezing, and cough is common to all of these infections. Although there is no prospective study of the causes of acute cough, it has long been considered that the common cold is the single most common cause of acute cough (ie, cough < 3 weeks in duration).
The mechanisms by which the viral infection of the common cold engenders cough is unclear. A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study of cough and the common cold3has demonstrated statistically significant associations among cough, throat clearing, and PND. Cough also improved in parallel with decreases in throat clearing and PND. In this study, treatment with an antihistamine/decongestant (A/D) preparation containing sustained-release pseudoephedrine and a first-generation antihistamine (brompheniramine) led to more rapid improvement in all three symptoms when compared to placebo. The implication of this study is that the primary mechanism responsible for the cough was the associated virus-induced PND. Alternatively, it has been proposed that a viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) produces inflammatory mediators that result in an increase in the sensitivity of the afferent sensory nerves in the upper airway. In a prospective study4on healthy volunteers, it was shown that the cough sensitivity to inhaled capsaicin was increased when the volunteers were studied during the acute phase of a viral URTI. A similar increase in cough sensitivity associated with URTI has also been found when using inhaled citric acid5or nebulized distilled water6 to induce cough. Moreover, Madison and Irwin5 have proposed that this increase in cough sensitivity during URTI may be due to an increased sensitivity of the rapidly adapting sensory receptors in the airway. The rapidly adapting sensory receptors are particularly sensitive to mechanical stimulation,7–8 and therefore it should be possible to induce cough with an adequate mechanical stimulus to the upper airway. Recent studies have demonstrated that while healthy subjects do not cough significantly in response to airway vibration, in those having a viral URTI, airway stimulation induces a significantly increased cough response.
Whatever the actual mechanisms of viral URTI-induced cough, the study cited above5 demonstrated that an older, first-generation A/D preparation can be effective in reducing the cough. In contrast, studies9–11 have shown that newer generation "nonsedating" antihistamines are relatively ineffective in the treatment of the common cold. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial12 of an experimentally induced rhinovirus common cold, the nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug naproxen decreased cough (as well as headache, malaise, and myalgia), supporting the contribution of inflammation to the pathogenesis of cough in the common cold.
As with the treatment of chronic upper airway cough syndrome, there are several available options for the treatment of the symptoms of the common cold in addition to A/D. Topical α-adrenergic therapy can be used in the short term, although no prospective data showing its efficacy are available. However, the possible development of rhinitis medicamentosa makes its prolonged use inadvisable. Because of conflicting data, it is not clear whether zinc-containing compounds are beneficial in treating cough due to the common cold. For example, while zinc-containing lozenges have been prospectively shown to abbreviate symptoms of the common cold including cough,2,13 two other studies13–14 and a metaanalysis15have disputed this conclusion. While topical anticholinergic therapy has been shown prospectively to decrease rhinorrhea and sneezing,16this study did not evaluate cough as a symptom. Interferon therapy has potential adverse side effects and is useful only if used prophylactically.17 Specific antiviral therapies for the common cold have shown some promise, but their efficacy is limited by the myriad of potential viral causes of the common cold and also by side effects.17–18
It is important to appreciate that a diagnosis of acute bacterial sinusitis cannot be made accurately in the face of an acute viral infection. The separation between sinusitis and rhinitis has some clinical utility, but in the setting of the common cold it has been clearly demonstrated that the viral infection involves all nasal and sinus mucosal surfaces, and that the term viral rhinosinusitis is more accurate.19–20 In a key study20 looking at CT scans of the sinuses of patients with recent-onset colds, abnormalities of the maxillary sinuses were present in 87% of patients. No patient received antibiotic treatment, and 79% of those scanned again at days 13 to 20 had resolution or marked improvement in imaging abnormalities even when air-fluid levels had initially been observed. While sinus inflammation caused by viral infection may in some patients be a precursor to bacterial sinusitis, the roentgenographic evaluation of the sinuses and the presence of abnormalities have no clinical specificity for bacterial infection within the first week of onset of the common cold.19 The specificity for a bacterial process increases with an increasing interval from the onset of the original rhinosinusitis. Therefore, clinical judgment is often required to decide when to institute antibiotic therapy.
One of the most important facts to emerge from the prospective study of cough and the common cold cited above is that the placebo group allowed for a close look at the natural history of cough in untreated common colds. On day 14, the last day of the study, while cough and upper airway symptoms were improving, approximately 25% of patients continued to have symptoms of cough, PND, and throat clearing. This correlates well with the finding in the CT scan study of sinus changes in the common cold, in which 21% of patients had significant persistent anatomic abnormalities at day 13 to 20. These data, combined with the studies on the diagnosis and treatment of chronic cough, support the concept that a large subset of patients with postinfectious cough has an inflammatory response triggered by an upper respiratory infection, which causes chronic cough due to upper airway cough syndrome and which can be self-perpetuating unless interrupted with active treatment. For discussion and recommendations regarding over the counter cough medications for cough due to the common cold, see the Cough Suppressant and Pharmacologic Protussive Therapy section (pp 238S–249S).
1. Patients with acute cough (as well as PND and throat clearing) associated with the common cold can be treated with a first-generation A/D preparation (brompheniramine and sustained-release pseudoephedrine). Naproxen can also be administered to help decrease cough in this setting. Level of evidence, fair; benefit, substantial; grade of recommendation, A
2. In patients with the common cold, newer generation nonsedating antihistamines are ineffective for reducing cough and should not be used. Level of evidence, fair; benefit, none; grade of recommendation, D
3. In patients with cough and acute URTI, because symptoms, signs, and even sinus-imaging abnormalities may be indistinguishable from acute bacterial sinusitis, the diagnosis of bacterial sinusitis should not be made during the first week of symptoms. (Clinical judgment is required to decide whether to institute antibiotic therapy.) Level of evidence, fair; benefit, none; grade of recommendation, D
Abbreviations: A/D = antihistamine/decongestant; PND = postnasal drip; URTI = upper respiratory tract infection

Average Rating for this proposal (Based on 3 Ratings):
Draft Proposal
FDA should disclose the fact that an NDA, NADA, ANDA, ANADA, BLA, PMA, or 510(k) application or supplement was submitted (or resubmitted) to the Agency at the time the application is received by FDA. The disclosure should include the name of the application sponsor, the date the application was received, the proposed indications or intended use of the product, and the proposed proper and/or trade name of the product, if available.
Reasoning: There are strong public interests that favor Agency disclosure of whether a marketing application has been submitted to FDA for review.
FDA receives questions from interested members of the public, including patients suffering from a specific disease, or family members of those patients, about whether an application for a new product is being reviewed by the Agency. The majority of the questions FDA receives request information about new products or new uses for existing products. Oftentimes, the person asking is eagerly awaiting a treatment for a particular disease and wants to know when that treatment may be available. Disclosing whether, and when, a marketing application has been submitted for a specific use will provide helpful information to these individuals, and ease some of the current frustration that stems from the FDA's restrictions on providing this type of information.
Not only will greater disclosure alleviate the frustration of individuals who call FDA now, and receive no response, but greater disclosure may also increase Agency accountability. Disclosing whether an application for a new product, or new use of an existing product, has been submitted, and when, may provide greater insight into the application review process, i.e., when FDA action is expected on a specific application.
Further, the public is at times currently provided information about whether an application has been submitted to FDA for review. Often, this information is proactively provided by sponsors themselves, or provided pursuant to other legal requirements.
FDA should disclose whether marketing applications seeking approval of a new product, or a new use for an existing product, have been submitted to FDA, and if so, when. The public health benefits associated with disclosing the existence of marketing applications are strongest in the case of such marketing applications. While members of the public may be interested in other applications, such as labeling changes, the public health interests does not warrant the significant resources entailed in proactive disclosure of this information.
(Total Received: 3)
Comment: Disagree with this proposal. Can raise false hopes, since submissions often do not make it to approval or clearance, intended use/indications for use/claims often change over the course of FDA review, and times can very GREATLY from product to product for approval/clearance. Desperate patients may hang all their hopes on a technology that could be years away, but had an early submission, or, worse, hold off on conventional treatment, while waiting for the 'next big thing' - despite what regulators or companies might tell them. People hear what they want to hear. Also, don't put it past companies to file submissions that they know will fail, if they know that they will become public knowledge. This could be done for a funding milestone or even to throw off the competition. It just seems that early disclosure can open a can of worms.
Comment: The previous commenter makes some valid points in my opinion. However, the proposal is ill-advised from another perspective as well. And that is from the perspective of disclosure of ANDA submissions. These submissions are not for new treatment modalities and therefore their disclosure would not add to current scientific or medical knowledge. Conversely, mandatory disclosure of ANDA filings could negatively impact generic drug market dynamics (brands could file citizen petitions and engage in other means of slowing approval)which negatively impacts patients. There does not appear to be an upside to this disclosure.
Comment: For most of these submissions, the suffering patient's knowledge of a premarket application will only offer false hope or disappointment, as the approval process can take a very long time. These disclosures are not helpful to the public but only to competitors.

• EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the fifth of an eight-part series profiling the individuals who will be inducted into the Indiana County Sports Hall of Fame. Tomorrow: John Chakot.
Bill Wilt never wrestled a match, but he became an outstanding wrestling coach.
He had no intentions of ever joining the military or becoming a teacher, yet a lot of his years have revolved around those two things.
He didn't expect to be honored for the things he loved to do, and decades later, the accolades continue to pile up.
Bill Wilt's life turned out nothing like he imagined it would, but he wouldn't want it any other way.
One day in 1965, Wilt was walking down hallways of United High School, when his life took one of its many unforeseen turns. The then-geography teacher was told that he was going to be United's next wrestling coach, despite having little knowledge of the sport. Alex Zbur, the Lions' coach at the time, was going to be moving into administration, leaving his coaching position open.
"In those days, we didn't have teachers' unions or anything like that, and you did what you were told," Wilt said. "Well, (the superintendent) put his arm around me and said, 'Mr. Wilt, you are the new wrestling coach.' I told him that I never wrestled before, and he didn't care. He knew I played football and ran track, and that was enough for him. I was the new coach."
Wilt wasn't sure what to expect. Up to that point, he had done many things in his life that were new to him. He impulsively joined the Army, met his future wife while he was stationed in Germany and even became a teacher on a whim.
"I've been very lucky," Wilt said. "I always did what I felt was right. I've been very fortunate, and things always ended up working out the way they were supposed to."
They sure did.
o o o
Many years earlier, Wilt was just another high school athlete. He lettered three years in track and three years in football at Indiana Joint High School. Wilt loved playing football and was a running back on the Indiana team that went 9-0 in 1957, the first year that helmets had facemasks.
"I played on an outstanding team," Wilt said with a smile. "I really did. We were undefeated that year because we had a lot of great coaches and there were a lot of great guys on that team. We were good. A bunch of them are already in the hall of fame here."
Wilt will join some of those former teammates when he is inducted into the Indiana County Sports Hall of Fame on Sunday evening. Even though he was nominated because of his work as United's wrestling coach, football is his favorite sport.
Wilt always wanted to move away for college, but things didn't work out that way. He went on to play football for four years at Indiana State Teachers College, later known as Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
"Out of high school, I was only about 145 pounds, and I always thought I wanted to play for Penn State," Wilt said. "Penn State or Pitt didn't want small guys like me, but I always knew I wanted to play football. The coaches stopped over at my house one day and wanted to know if I wanted to try out to play at IUP, and that was it. I not only tried out, but I ended up being anything they needed."
Wilt worked on the special teams and practice squads and was constantly working toward a starting spot. During his junior season, his name was finally atop the depth chart at running back. He started a few games, but things then took a turn for the worse.
"We were practicing one day, and we were just in shorts because it was a Monday and we had scrimmaged on Saturday, and I was showing a freshman how to run a play," Wilt said. "They were having a good time and into hugging and all that, and someone picked me up and was holding me. Then someone jumped up and hit me in the knee. Well, that was it. I ended up having surgery because of torn cartilage, but it had its benefits."
As disappointing as the injury was, it was, in his words, for the better.
"In college, they want you to play," Wilt said. "So once the swelling started going down, I tried to play. I couldn't turn or make the cuts. … I had the surgery, and since I couldn't straighten it, I had to let it heal. Some of the people I played with have problems to this day because they kept playing with their injuries. They kept playing, and my body didn't take that kind of beating. My senior year, Bill Wilt's name was down on the chart with a question mark beside it. I worked my way back up and got to play some, which I enjoyed and my body enjoyed because it was fixed."
o o o
Wilt now considers himself a military man and is extremely proud of his time spent in the Army. There was a time, though, when he had no interest in it.
"You either had to take ROTC or health," Wilt said. "I decided to take ROTC, but I had no intentions of staying in it. Between my sophomore and junior year, they picked 30 people out of about 300 to go to the advanced corps. I wasn't one of the 30, and frankly, it didn't bother me at all because I was playing ball and doing all sorts of other things. I was just having a good old time."
Then, out of nowhere, everything changed.
As he was working construction on Sixth Street in 1962, Wilt had a surprise visit from his father, William, who said he had an important phone call from a major in the U.S. Army.
"He came over to me, and I remember I was wearing fishing boots because we were pouring cement, and he said I needed to come home," Wilt recalled. "Back in those days, when fathers spoke, the conversation was over. There was no argument."
Wilt ended up heading over to the ROTC, where the officers were waiting for him.
"I walked in there looking like a bum with cement all over me, and I won't even tell you what they had to say about me because of my appearance," Wilt said. "The bottom line came very quickly. The teachers and commanding officers got to pick one candidate that they thought would make a good officer. Then, they informed me that that person was me."
They allowed Wilt five minutes to make a decision about staying in the program and joining the Army.
"I walked out and straightened myself up a little bit to look better and walked right back in," he said. "I never wanted that, but I knew it was the right decision at the time. I then became advanced and was commissioned as a second lieutenant."
Wilt took some time off from the family farm in Ligonier and went to Atlantic City to stay with one of his friends before leaving for the Army. Shortly after that, though, he received a phone call from his father.
"I thought 'here we go, again,'" Wilt said.
Sure enough, his plans were about to take another turn. Wilt was offered a position to teach science and geography and help coach football at United.
"He told me I had an interview in three days," Wilt said of his father, who was a teacher for more than 40 years. "Now, I never wanted to be a teacher, but there weren't any freebies for jobs back then. Even though I was supposed to go to the military, I had to listen to my dad. So I hang up the phone, hitchhiked back and had my interview at United, and guess what: I was all of a sudden a teacher at United."
Wilt was only supposed to be there a few months, but then his stint as a teacher was extended. Then, he finally made his way to the Army and was sent to Germany. The lieutenant ended up in Würzburg even though he thought he was headed to Nuremberg.
"Things changed for me again," Wilt said. "I knew something was up when we were halfway across the Atlantic Ocean. I was always supposed to go to Nuremberg, but ended up somewhere about 100 miles away from that."
Wilt, whose job was to load troops up with supplies before heading out into the field, was set to head to Nuremberg when John F. Kennedy was assassinated on Nov. 22, 1963.
"I ended up going up north to the border, and we were on full alert," Wilt said. "I thought I was never going to make it to Nuremberg. Then, after that settled down, I finally made it there. I took over someone's position and was in charge of all of the supplies in southern Europe. Things slowed down again, and then weird things happened again."
With many others in the military on their way to Vietnam, Wilt was told that he and other officers weren't going.
"That's when they went with the draft," Wilt said, "and when they went with the draft, that was it for me. In the meantime, though, I met my wife who worked with the government as a translator. I'd say 98 percent of my military experience was fantastic. There were a couple things that were a little spooky, but you'll have that.
"I did things and saw things that a lot of people wouldn't understand. My parents surely didn't understand. Things are so isolated around here, and there's nothing wrong with that, but that's just the way it is in Indiana, Pa. No one understood why I liked the military so much."
Even though it wasn't what he had planned, he loved just about every minute of it.
o o o
After returning from his stretch in the military, Wilt married his wife, Irene, and returned to his job at United. He still didn't want to teach, but had lost many friends in the Vietnam War and thought it was best for his family if he didn't try to return to the Army. His wife gave birth to their son, Mike, and daughter, Stefanie. Instead, he continued teaching and went to graduate school, receiving certificates from IUP and from Duquesne.
"My wife told me to quit moping around about the teaching, so I went back to school," Wilt said. "I worked on my teaching and ended up doing 16-plus years as a teacher. I got my administration degree and a job opened up at United. I did 23 years as the principal, and that was something I never expected either. That wasn't planned at all."
Just like his career as a wrestling coach.
Before he knew it, that day in 1965 came and went, and Wilt was producing Appalachian Conference champions left and right. His teams won four conference titles, he coached 14 individual conference champions and he had three wrestlers who won District 6 titles. One of those athletes, Larry Strong, went on to win the state championship at 103 pounds in 1967.
"It was a learning experience for both of us," Strong said. "We knew when he came in that he didn't have a lot of wrestling experience, but it didn't matter. We didn't care about his background because he was a great coach. He came to us during my junior year, and it was interesting because he was young — almost like an older-brother figure to a lot of us. We learned more about the sport together, all of us. I was just grateful that we had a program and had a coach like him."
Wilt coached the Lions for 16 years and is the longest-tenured wrestling coach in United history. He racked up 101 dual meet victories, and his 1975 team won the conference championship with a 10-2 record.
"My wrestling career was nonexistent," Wilt said with a laugh. "I never wrestled. I was very fortunate to have had great assistants. Ken Jones was by my side through all of it. I've never had a person in my life who I worked better with than Ken. We got the program going pretty good, I'd say, and wrestling is still pretty strong at United. We had a great time and had a bunch of great, really tough kids."
"He was very intense and was always a competitor," said Wilt's son, Mike, who ended up coaching wrestling at United, too. "When I was coaching, I would always ask him for advice. He was someone that anyone could go to for advice. He's just that kind of guy."
Wilt received a call from Purchase Line principal Stanley Bem one day because District 6 was looking for someone "on this side of the mountain" to be on the District 6 committee. One thing led to another, and Wilt ended up as the chairperson for the district wrestling tournament for many years. He started by working on the district volleyball tournament, and eventually took over wrestling.
"At that time, wrestling was going through a lot of changes. All of the sports were, actually," Wilt said. "So being on those committees, we had to make some decisions. Mr. Bem got me into all of that stuff, and then 16 or so years later, I was still doing it."
He finally retired from his position in the district — and with the school — in 2002.
"We go back a long, long way," said Bem, who was the president of the PIAA for five years. "We still hang out. We fish together and hunt together, and sometimes we got out socially together. I ran the basketball tournaments for District 6 while he was working on the wrestling. He was great for the district and was well-respected as a chairperson. He was very successful."
So successful, that he was inducted into the District 6 Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2009.
o o o
Even all these years later, Wilt can still be found at area sporting events. He has been a track and field official for more than 45 years, and he attends football games and wrestling matches just to watch the kids.
"I always went to other games just to watch when I was the principal," Wilt said. "I still do. If there is a good game, I go. It doesn't matter what teams are playing."
Sports have taken up a lot of time in his life and probably always will.
"He loves those sports, and those kids," Irene said. "He was a good coach and really spent a lot of time in it. I don't like sports, but I became a fan of wrestling. He's always liked all that football and stuff, and he still goes to games and matches. He'll never get away from it."
"My mom never got into sports," Mike said, "but she liked wrestling. She started taking me to matches from the time I was a baby. But don't ask her to turn on a football or baseball game. She won't watch it."
Wilt attributes much of his success to his wife and claims he couldn't have handled all the twists and turns life threw at him without her.
"I absolutely couldn't have done any of this without her," he said. "She always supported me. In Germany, they don't have sports like we do. When she came here, she couldn't understand why it was such a big deal — especially football. Sports mean nothing to her. She liked the wrestling because she knew the kids. They were like family to us.
"After I retired, I looked around and realized I had missed a lot. I was out coaching or going to meetings or games. Life definitely threw me some curve balls, but looking back, I guess I wouldn't have had it any other way."

Why are actresses referred to as actors now?
This entire farce about referring to actresses as actors is clearly the spasmodic working of unbalanced minds.
New Delhi: It was Kabir Bedi who set the cat among the pigeons recently when he tweeted, "I mean the demise of the word, Actress. It has great mystique. I find it hard to refer to legendary actresses [Garbo, Dietrich, Crawford, Leigh, Monroe, Taylor, Hepburn, Kelley] as actors!" At a recent party, my opinionated friend - the original argumentative Indian - took off precisely where the hunk had left.
"Kabir Bedi may not be as devastatingly handsome as he once was and nor does he appear to be on the radar of too many banners in B-town, but his intelligence, sophistication and focus remains intact and spot-on. This entire farce, dramabaazi and nonsense about referring to actresses as actors is clearly the spasmodic working of unbalanced minds! What's the big deal? This is nothing more than over-enthusiastic and grossly misdirected activism scaling new heights of ludicrousness! What does it hope to achieve - a new burst of lost female pride and identity?
Are these gifted individuals so paranoid and insecure to believe that a gender-shift in terms of terminology - will bring back all the ignored respect due to them, along with self-belief and confidence? If so, it is a tragic commentary on the state of our heroines' sense of self-worth!"
Another joins in with "Actor in a female role sounds so sexless and insulting, like referring to a robot!" While, yet another lays it on the line with "another example where political correctness has gone overboard and absurd! Hey c'mon, men and women are not the same so why use terms that forcefully and artificially attempts to put them in the same page and mould? Even the Venerated Academy awards go to Best Actress, so why this unnecessary attempt to re-write some basic, fundamental rules that is neither degrading nor sexist?"
Film Critic, Mayank Shekhar begs to differ. "I think it was veteran actress Shabana Azmi who first introduced this term and I think it makes total sense both because from where it is coming - an intelligent, evolved and progressive activist - and what it implies." Shekhar believes that language, terms and reference points need not necessarily be looked at something that is sacrosanct that cannot and should not be touched lest you rot in hell!
"The movie business, like most, is a male dominated one and if this is an attempt for gender-equality and gender-neutralisation, what's there to scoff, ridicule or dismiss? Today, the term Ms is used for many married women too - because of individual identity, a personal choice of the ladies concerned - so what's wrong with female actor? Chill, it's a post-modern throw at rectifying gender identity, that's all!"
Film historian, scholar and editor Rauf Ahmed is amused. "Frankly, I don't see any reason for this sex-change because I don't see anything undignified, condescending or patronizing about the term, Actress. It seems to be more of an aggressive statement of individual identity from a feminist whose work as an actress I've always admired. Can you imagine referring to Madhubala, Nargis, Nutan or Meena Kumari as actors? Feels weird, huh?"
Kolkata-based Medico, Ms. S Pal believes it has largely to do "with the newly-awoken female empowerment movement and self-assertion! There is a belief among a lot of today's liberated and progressive women that the term actresses has a negative connotation, showcasing a persona who reflects dumb, glamorous looks with permissive nature in terms of morality. An actor does not suffer this image perception at all.
Since both are performers, why not go neutral-gender and be fair?" While she has no great problem with actresses being called actors, she personally feels that "it somewhere takes away the essence of what she is about - femininity, grace, elegance, beauty, the entire aura and mystique of being a woman ... but that's my take. Others may differ.
Director Sahiba Faiza Ahmed Khan (Malegaon ka Superman) has her own take. She believes that although Doctors, Lawyers, even Film Directors don't have any 'ess' attached, this move is "a symbolic gesture towards equality among the sexes in movieland. It seeks to address this differentiation between male and female performers in a way that is thought-provoking and debate and discussion-generating.
Whether it does (or does not) impact on their fees, clout or weightage in projects is another matter but it's a glove thrown into the ring suggesting that its an issue whose time has come, a sweetening pronouncement that demands serious focus."
Dazzling senior actress Moon Moon Sen is up next and straightaway tornadoes into this debate with all cylinders firing. The still gorgeous daughter of the legendary Suchitra Sen and mom of beauties, Raima and Riya, terms it as nothing more than 'affection' and goes on to explain what she means.
"We seem to live in a time when aping the west, pretentiousness, posturing and posing appear to be fashionable. I can't understand why! Kabir is bang-on when he says that he finds it difficult to describe legendary actresses as actors. What is this great image make-over or perception change that it hopes to bring if Suchitra Sen and Madhuri Dixit are called actors? What is the value-addition and how does the traditionally accepted term actresses, suddenly lose dignity, prestige, status or aura by not changing to the term actor?"
Moon Moon also laments the haywire use of terminology where "Diva for example is used left, right and centre! It is a term derived from the opera and usually has no bearing on film stars, past or present." Respected and hi-profile director Aparna Sen (36 Chowringhee Lane, Mr. & Mrs. Iyer, The Japanese Wife) however is totally comfortable with the term and considers it both appropriate and necessary.
"At a time when the new-age woman is multi-layered and multi-tasking with such stupendous success, why should gender appropriate any profession? Kabir Bedi's comment refers to divas, who were stars - not perceived as serious actresses. It needs time for getting used to, that's all."
Ace Ad-Film maker and feature film (Delhi Belly) maker Abhinay Deo brings his own take. He doesn't consider this issue a big deal at all and while he personally can't figure out why some people are hell-bent on stepping on the gas and insisting on this terminology-change like their life depends upon it, he's okay to go along.
"If an actress is determined to be called an actor - not actress - sure, I'll go along. I have tons of more serious issues to engage with than something as cosmetic and unimportant - for me - than this!"
So, what gives? For new-age actresses seeking to reclaim their rightful place, prestige, status and stature as professionals in a gender-neutral calling, this move is a telling gesture of intent. It reflects the fact that they will not take any crap that comes their way and whenever - in this chauvinistic and male dominated planet - there is need, scope and opportunity to raise one's hand to be counted, they will definitely pull the trigger.
So, post 'Barfi!', 'Cocktail' and 'Heroine', should Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone and Kareena Kapoor be referred to as 'actors' in ball-busting roles?

As night draws in, much of the fleet will be reaching along the leeward side of St Kitts, enjoying flat water and fluctuating breeze as they progress to Saba island. 'To enjoy a fabulous evening sail along the southern coast of Nevis and St Kitts with flat water and 20 knot plus boat speed, is as good as it ever gets,'' said Mike Slade during the 2009 race. 'It's undoubtedly one of the best yacht race tracks in the world.'
After rounding Saba, it is likely that the yachts will be beating for the first time since the upwind leg to Green Island at the start. By now it will be the middle of the night for most of the teams. The racing yachts will enter the 'chicane' at the top of the course. Rounding St Barts requires caution. It is a lee-shore festooned with rocks and reefs, navigators will really need to be on their toes, as will all of the crew, to keep a watch out for faster boats on a reciprocal course, which have already rounded the top of St Martin and making their way down to Guadeloupe.
Rounding Tintamarre northeast of St.Martin marks the halfway point in the race and the beginning of the longest leg in the course, a 170-mile reach to Guadeloupe. The yachts may well be power reaching, close to top straight-line speed and the crew will be able to settle down and recover from a tough first day. They will be beginning to feel the effects of fatigue, after long periods of concentration and the physical exertion of numerous sail changes.
The rhumb line course passes close to the volcanic island of Montserrat. It is an amazing sight. The volcano erupted again last year and as a result it is probably not a good idea to get too close as the island is still growing.
John Burnie checked in during the last race from the ORMA 60, Region Guadeloupe on the way to setting the multihull record for the race. 'It is very rough, unbelievably wet and we were glad to see dawn to bring on the sunshine. 26 knots of boat speed, in ocean swell, just amazing sailing.'
Rounding Guadeloupe adds another tricky twist to the race as the island throws out a huge wind shadow, which can trap yachts that venture too close to the stunning remote cliffs. Also, the shores around the island have several shallow spots festooned with lobster pots. The beat from Les Saintes to La Desirade is the toughest part of the course and rounding La Desirade to the East of Guadeloupe can be extremely rough as the yachts feel the full force of the Atlantic.
The reward for escaping the clutches of Guadeloupe is to set a spinnaker for Barbuda, typically belting along on a fast reach. Boat speed should be pretty close to red lining and the downwind fun should last all the way to Redonda. But this small island limestone stack rises to nearly 1000ft and is yet another potential windless trap.
It is 40 miles upwind to the finish from Redonda and probably the hardest part of the race as the yachts beat to the finish off Falmouth Bay, Antigua. Tired but elated, the crews will enjoy a warm welcome from Antigua Yacht Club, who greets every yacht dockside with a slab of cold beer and three cheers for finishing the RORC Caribbean 600.
America's Cup and round the world helmsman, Gavin Brady was very impressed with the racecourse: 'This race has something for everyone, certainly a race course where you have to concentrate all the time. I sailed in shorts and T-shirt the whole race, even though the wind strength got up to 20 knots. That's something you don't say very often after a 600 mile classic.'
Multihull – 40hr 11min 22sec – ORMA 60, Region Guadeloupe
Monohull – 44hr 5min 14sec – Farr Maxi, ICAP Leopard

Just more news to let you guys in rural America appreciate your lifestyle a little more...Currently we have not one but 2 serial killers on the rampage in Phoenix. 54 people shot, 11 people killed, multiple rapes. They are uncertain of the figures, because both killers are crossing back and forth into each others areas of operation and more evidence connecting them to old murders. The fun part is I live in the center of the area with the most attacks. Be grateful you live in Podunck Junction.
This is why I hate cities.
post removed by me.
Thank you. I'm glad you're "happy" for me. Here's hoping you get a itch you can't reach or tell others about.......
...wha's that mean? i was being sarcastic. but seriously, i hope nothing happens to you or your wife. that would be awful.
Quote:wha's that mean?
no, on the electric chair with a slow deathhope you can keep your cars inside, and lock the doorsADT makes a great security system...
Are the crimes random or do they have a pattern? One scary thing about living close to Gainesville, FL is crazy serial killers that come for college students. Ted Bundy, et al. Hopefullly you don't fit their demographic.

yeah i think they can actually. but if you want power you would want a shotgun or rifle.

To reply to all...I knew you were being a bit sarcastic sean, it's ok. The demographics are greatly mixed with everything but college students. Phoenix is a strange city. Within a 1/4 mile of our front door you will find a historic neighborhood with $450,000 cottages and flophouse apartments that rent for $400 a month. The victims so far have been a mix of age and race. Attacks have been primarily early morning, but a few have occurred in broad daylight. And no, I don't own a gun. Arizona allows weapons to be carried in plain view and concealed with a 1 day class for a license. We live in a gated community, which means bad guys hop the fence instead of walking in. And a personal opinion here....life imprisonment, especially solitary or within a facility with other violent,mentally deranged inmates is far worse than the death penalty.
I was reading up on this in the news over the weekend. It's not so much a serial killer as it is random shootings. In my opinion that's a whole lot scarier. Boston's been experiencing the worst gun violence ever lately...all crime is down but gun violence is up. Go figure. At least it's in a given demographic though; mostly drug related. The ones in phoenix are just shootings for the sake of shooting it seems. Terrible situation.
which post????also, life imprisonment seems worse now, and i hope they no not to sag
