I mentioned this at the bottom of another post, but figured that was not quite the best place to put it. I am running the latest M4 for SuSE10 that I found and am having a few problems. In particular, the problem I'm posting about here is that when I go to create a new folder via the web client, it seems to lose the name I provide and the folder just gets created as 'zmFolder'.
Before I found out that disabling the All-In-One mouse gesture extension for firefox was required to get right click to work, I could not even rename it after I created it.
I searched bugzilla for it and did not see anything about it so felt I should mention it here.
Btw, awesome job w/Zimbra.
P.S. Am I the only one seeing this? Can it be reproduced?

I'm potentially interested in helping create developer documentation. I have published quite a number of tech books over the years and am conversant with JavaScript, CSS, HTML, XML and DOM stuff. But I've noticed that getting started with the ZimbraTK is non-trivial and I figured if I jumped in and offered to do some docs, maybe that would help me learn my way around here a bit.
So any pointers to getting-started stuff?

|Pies fly for P.I.E.
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
If nothing else, the whipped cream tasted good, said three brave administrators as they sacrificed a pie in the face for the annual Partners In Education (P.I.E.) Carnival for Classrooms last Friday, April 5 at Holyoke Elementary School.
Superintendent Bret Miles (pictured above), Elementary Principal Kyle Stumpf and JR/SR High Principal Susan Ortner all braved the pies, which helped raise $3,000 for classrooms in Holyoke schools.
Blanca Martinez, pictured at left, was one of the lucky students to fling a pie at the carnival.
—Enterprise photos
Other popular attractions were carnival games, face painting, a photo booth and tasty treats. Parents also bid on silent auction baskets created by the classrooms.
Teachers will now have the opportunity to apply for a mini-grant of sorts from P.I.E. for funds to use in their classrooms.

Comments about Body-Solid Best Fitness Olympic Press Stand:
I bought this thing for my birthday and i tried doing squats with it. I was working with heavy weight and as you can see, the rack is tilted and when i picked the squat bar off the rack it was hard to walk out and perform the movement, because its is tilted and there is a bar there so you have to stay inside of the thing while squatting. Its uncomfortable. I was much more worried about my safety rather than how many reps i was suppose to get. Anyways, I use this for curling the 45 pound bar. Its like a rack for curling it and you can take a bench with the rack and put it under the rack and it can be used as a bench press...Overall im saying that im not going to recommend this to a friend but if you don't do squats with it i would recommend this to a friend.................

As a child what did you want to be when you grew up?
A drummer in a rock band!
What is your hometown?
good ol' Bellingham
Sports-related accomplishment you are most proud of?
Completing the "mind-grinder" on my swim team training trip in college, probably the hardest thing I've ever done! Also, going to Nationals with my AAU basketball team freshman year.
What did you do before radio?
I played sports and went to school…discovered radio a year before college graduation so I've been doing that ever since.
Sports star you'd most like to meet?
The one and only Charles Barkley – loved him since I was 6! (quite a role model, I know) My parents used to have to pry me out of his Phoenix Suns jersey that I tried to wear everyday. And then there were the posters. And the Suns' bedding. Yikes.
The best song to get you pumped up before the big game is?
A lot of good ones out there but topping the list no question is Eye of The Tiger. I blame my obsession with the song on the countless days spent in the Sehome High School weight room where I swear that song is ALWAYS playing.
If you could go anywhere in the world where would you go?
The Ponte Vecchio in Florence, Italy. Most beautiful place I've ever been…and it just so happens they serve the best gelato in the world there!
Best concert you've ever been to?
Oh they've all been good. Probably Toby Keith or Rush, both were pretty rockin'.
TV show you absolutely never miss?
I've really cut down on my TV watching lately. Still catch Grey's Anatomy every week. And my total guilty pleasure is Dancing with the Stars…I just can't turn it off! I love it.
What is your idea of a great night?
Can't go wrong with live sports of any kind or live music! But I also love to stay in and play board games, watch movies and scrapbook.
Your biggest fear?
Falling into a rut and losing that spark to go after what I want. That and anything that flies around erratically…particularly moths and bees.

'Beautiful' stars didn't want 'Twilight' clone
"Beautiful Creatures"
Rating: PG-13
When: Now playing
In the midst of their press tour, "Beautiful Creatures" stars Alden Ehrenreich ("Tetro") and Alice Englert ("Ginger & Rosa") are certain of one thing: Their supernatural romance, based on a best-selling series of young adult novels by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, is not a carbon copy of "Twilight."
They understand the instinct to think so, considering the film arrives on the heels of the wildly successful "Twilight" series, leaving a gaping hole in the ravenous young adult movie market. In fact, Englert and Ehrenreich are guilty of making the same assumption themselves, which initially led both of the young actors to turn down the roles of Ethan, a literary-minded charmer who's champing at the bit to bolt from his sleepy town of Gatlin, S.C., and Lena, a moody teenage girl who arouses suspicion when she moves to town and displays her uncanny ability to alter the weather when she's angry. Ethan and Lena's intense and immediate connection leads to a forbidden romance between mortal and supernatural being or, in Lena's case, a "Caster." Swap genders and powers and it sure does sound very "Twilight"-esque.
"We got the brief that it was a supernatural love story and, without reading the script, it did sound a little like a remake of a genre that was already being pretty well made," said Englert, who read only the first "Twilight" book in her early teens, of her initial decision to turn down the part of Lena.
Ehrenreich, who's yet to read a word of the Stephenie Meyer series, initially agreed. "It didn't sound like it had its own DNA, its own identity."
But Oscar-nominated director and screenwriter Richard LaGravenese ("The Fisher King," "P.S. I Love You"), who's had plenty of experience adapting beloved books like "The Horse Whisperer" and "The Bridges of Madison County," was only encouraged by their refusals.
"Richard loved that. He wanted people who were reluctant to do this kind of movie," said Ehrenreich. Once LaGravenese got his script in their hands, the actors began to change their tune.
"Richard created these really idiosyncratic characters with real points of view and lots of dimension." Ehrenreich said. "Even though it's a supernatural story, it's really rooted in this very human element."
Englert quickly interjected: "Credit to Richard for writing it like that. So many of these stories are just exposition to get through the plot … but Richard did such a great job with actually being able to languish in scenes."
The film stresses the importance of seizing control of your destiny and choosing your own fate, something every young adult is bound to face. Ehrenreich, 23, and Englert, 19, are no exception. Both are in the early stages of their careers, finding that tricky balance between satisfying their creative ambitions, including writing and directing, and staying steadily employed. With LaGravenese at the helm of "Beautiful Creatures," they seem to think they've found that balance.
Perhaps they're savvier than most of their contemporaries. A Los Angeles native, Ehrenreich considers himself a "film geek" who's been writing, directing and performing since middle school. When director Steven Spielberg saw one of his amateur film performances at a friend's bar mitzvah, he asked for a meeting, which led to some TV roles and ultimately a role in Francis Ford Coppola's 2009 film "Tetro."
Englert grew up on the other side of the world in Australia, but was raised inside the world of art house filmmaking by her mother, Academy Award-winning director Jane Campion ("The Piano"). Unlike her character in the film, Englert exudes intellectual sophistication and is entirely accepting of the life path she was born into. "I want to constantly spend my life in stories. I don't think I ever thought about living in any other way. So that's my aim, to always hang around until they kick me out."

I would assume that this is supported, but no idea for sure. I'm attempting to import a resources calendar into the new Zimbra resource mailbox. The 2 resources that need to be imported are assigned to an admin user (the user has their personal mailbox plus 2 more). Whenever I select either of the 2 resource mailboxes, the migration wizard crashes right away. If I select the "real" users mailbox, the wizard will continue. Nothing is logged in the migration logs except for the wizard version. I did get the attached error report from drwatson though.
BTW, I'm running ZCS 4.5.5GA with migration wizard 4.5.5GA 881.

In 1994 Mary Margaret was working long hours for an international consulting firm. She also bought a house that year, and her father, who had been fighting cancer, passed away. "By April 1995," she says, "I could no longer get out of bed or stop crying."
Mary was "completely exhausted," and her decision-making suffered. "Something as simple as figuring out what to eat was overwhelming." She had trouble concentrating and with comprehension. "I could read a sentence five times, and it would still make no sense to me." "Throughout it all, there was this overwhelming sense of despair," she says. "If I wasn't sleeping, I was crying." She missed work and ultimately was asked to resign.
Mary's psychiatrist prescribed antidepressant medications. At first Mary refused to take them. "I've always been a 'say no to drugs' kind of person. Then, my psychiatrist explained the difference between therapeutic and recreational drugs. I finally realized my symptoms were medically based. I thought it was just my inability to keep a positive attitude about life " When Mary looked into her family history, she found she had four generations of mental illness. "This helped my family and I realize that it is a real illness, not a character defect."
Mary used the Depression Wellness Guide, which helped her see that, although slowly, she was improving. "Before I started using it, I thought that every day was a 'bad' day. But once I started tracking my daily moods, I found there were 'good' days here and there."
Mary's psychiatrist recently refined her diagnosis to hypomania, or type II bipolar disorder from her previous diagnosis of chronic major depression. Since Mary hadn't responded sufficiently to several different antidepressant medications, her psychiatrist suggested she try a mood stabilizer in addition to antidepressants. Mary's only sign of mania was periods of increased energy. "If I made a list of 10 things to do, I'd actually do all 10 during those times," she said.
What works
The Depression Wellness Guide helped Mary work with her therapist. "My therapist always asked 'How have you been?" says Mary. "I never knew how to answer and it was easy to say I was awful. But, the guide showed I was actually improving. I also liked the fact I could monitor what was important to me - my medication schedule, daily accomplishments, exercise, and appetite."
Mary says her friends and family continue to provide unwavering support. During the rougher depression episodes, her housemate, Gary stepped up too, saying, 'You're going to get through this.' "And he'd say it everyday," she says. He also took over household chores, including bill paying, laundry, grocery shopping and general housecleaning.
Friends "were really consistent in calling to offer support. One friend said, 'It's going to get better and remember it's the illness and not you.'" Another friend took her to appointments and helped her obtain financial help. She called several of our friends to tell them I was not doing well, and they started sending money to help pay the bills. "My mother and sisters, who live nearly three hours away, made several trips to my home to help me with personal care, and keep up on household chores. "I am so very lucky to have the family and friends that I have. Without them, I don't think I would have made it through the worst stages of that episode."
Mary takes her medications, eats a healthy diet and exercises two or three times a week. She read books written by other people with depression, and joined a support group to share coping strategies. She reduced unnecessary stress and says spirituality is extremely important to her.
Repeated job losses were especially hard for Mary who always had a career. So she pursued part-time jobs, many that she could do from home. She has always been an animal lover, and when caring for animals was described to her as "good mental health therapy", she started a pet-sitting company. She also took on marketing projects during the stable times through her home-based marketing business. She now is volunteering a few days a week at the local mental health association in an attempt to prepare herself to re-enter the workforce. "It's giving me a chance to test my ability to work part-time."
Keeping up treatment isn't hard for Mary, even though she knows firsthand that it can take a long time--her last depressive episode lasted some 20 months-- for treatment plans to start working. "Managing my illness is a habit at this point...You have to make it an everyday thing." And it's paying off: "I feel good right now. I'm stabilized. I feel like normal Mary."

Aztecs hope to silence crowd at Moby
FORT COLLINS, Colo. Behind one basket at Colorado State's Moby Arena is an electronic ram's head. It is attached to a sound meter, with the horns illuminating as the decibel levels rise and smoke coming out of the ram's nostrils when they're completely lit up.
"Our goal when we play there," San Diego State women's coach Beth Burns said, "is: Don't let them smoke the ram."
The SDSU men won't have to worry about that tonight (7:15 p.m. PST, CBS Sports Network), when they travel to Moby Arena to face a No. 24 Colorado State team that broke into The Associated Press rankings this week for the first time since 1954. The smoke machine in the ram's head is broken.
Classify it as an overuse injury.
Hard to imagine that not long ago this place was known as the Moby Morgue, with bouncing balls and squeaking sneakers and screaming coaches being the most prevalent sounds on game nights. Now it's a tsunami of noise and a graveyard for visiting teams. The Rams have won 26 straight there, the third longest active home win streak in the nation behind Syracuse (37) and South Dakota State (28).
"The other night when we played Wyoming, Moby was as good a venue as I've been in," said first-year CSU coach Larry Eustachy, who spent five years at Iowa State, famed for deafening Hilton Coliseum. "And that's being in Hilton against Kansas, with the 'Hilton Magic,' where the floor is actually vibrating. It was one of those experiences. It was really neat. It was San Diego State, The Pit, it was that type of venue.
"It was special."
Eustachy knows the secret to winning there. He's the last guy to do it, coaching Southern Mississippi to a 79-58 victory on Nov. 19, 2011. (If you can't beat him, hire him.)
SDSU won here the season before, but it took a fadeaway 19-footer by D.J. Gay at the buzzer.
Last year? The Aztecs shot 31.3 percent — their worst in six seasons and 195 games — and lost 77-60, ending a 58-game win streak against opponents unranked in the coaches poll.
"Beat us like a drum," coach Steve Fisher said.
Moby, certainly, has its idiosyncrasies. The predominant color is a dark green, which serves to absorb light. There are also the ram horns painted on the court, which is a cross between, as Burns said, a Thanksgiving cornucopia and "kind of this follow-the-yellow-brick road."
The student section, re-branded as "Rams Ruckus" this season, is up to 2,000 strong, which is still about 500 less than Viejas Arena's "The Show" but proportionately much larger (and louder) in an 8,745-seat venue. The seats rise steeply and are close to the court, which, when full, have the electronic ram's head snorting smoke so much that it breaks.
There's also the geography. Fort Collins is at 5,003 feet.
"Any time you're dealing with these Front Range teams, you've got the altitude as a factor," said Boise State coach Leon Rice, whose team suffered its worst conference loss in two years there, 77-57 on Jan. 30. "Sometimes it's funny because coaches don't want to talk about altitude and they want to pretend it is not there, and this and that. But it is a factor.
"It does affect some players more than others. It affects some psyches more than others."
But Rice and others are quick to point out the biggest reason Moby has suddenly become one of the least hospitable venues in the country, as four straight ranked teams can attest: The Rams are gooooood.
Eustachy inherited most of a team that reached the NCAA Tournament, then added 6-foot-10, 261-pound senior transfer Colton Iverson from Minnesota. The biggest change came in the offense (more inside-out than outside-in) and the mentality, which meant more time in the weight room.

Much lies ahead in 2013
(Page 2 of 2)
All 19 seats in the Legislature are up this year. And those 19 districts will likely be changing, as the county has just released proposed new maps because of the redistricting process that must take place. Some Hempstead town board seats will be up for grabs this year, but there will be no village election for the first time in four years, with the Board of Trustees set until 2015.
This could be the year residents of Valley Stream's high-risk flood zone have been waiting for. The Federal Emergency Management Agency will likely remove several thousand homes from the zone, which would end a fight that has lasted nearly three years.
There's a lot more to come: parades and graduations, opening days and awards ceremonies, community fairs and business openings. There is certainly a lot to look forward to in 2013. But we're in the news business, so we also know to expect the unexpected. Stay tuned, Valley Stream, for 2013.

We're migrating to Zimbra from a POP3 / Outlook setup and have come up against an issue - some (most) calendar appointments are appearing two hours later than they should be For example, a 12:30 appointment in Outlook appears at 14:30 in the Zimbra client. Some recurring appointments do not appear to be affected.
So far this has happened for more than one user. I am running the outlook PST repair tool on the file before import to make sure I'm not importing corrupt information. We're using the latest version of the import utility.
I have searched the forum and google to no avail, can anybody help please ?


text: It will be tougher this year. a lot of public land gets leased out to ranchers for summer pasture. On most years elk will tolerate cattle but with the drought all the cattle and elk seem to be going for the same grass that is in valleys, draws and next to creeks. Cows have no problem craping in water holes and creeks and elk aren't likely to use the same area if the water is tainted. A lot of crp grass in the low lands are being used by ranchers for cattle grazing due to the emergency relief the goverment granted because of the drought This has totally screwed up the deer movement because of the safe haven the deer had bedding in the tall grasses. No cover for deer cover and none for making stalks. It ought to get interesting.

Centered at the Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center (BNDCC), the 9th World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial Conference will be held on the fabled island of Bali from 3rd to 6th December 2013.
To be officially opened by the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Soesilo Bambang Yudhoyono onTuesday, 3rd December, other speakers addressing the WTO Ministerial Conference will be: Conference Chairman, Indonesia's Trade Minister Gita Wirjawan; Director-General Roberto Azevêdo; and Chairman of the General Council, Ambassador Shahid Bashir (Pakistan).
Officers of the Conference are: Chairman: H.E. Gita Wirjawan (Indonesia); Vice-Chairs: H.E. Francois Kanimba(Rwanda); H.E. Stephen Green (United Kingdom); and H.E. Ms Magali Silva Velarde-Alvarez (Peru).
The Plenary Session will start at 9.30 am. Central Indonesia Time on Wednesday, 4th December and will continue over the following days. As at past Ministerial Conferences, the Plenary will provide an opportunity for Ministers to make prepared statements.
The Closing Session will take place at 3 pm. Central Indonesia Time on Friday 6th December.
Marking the fifth Ministerial Conference since the launch of the Doha Round of trade negotiation in 2001, the conference aims to finalize some key elements of the Round. The conference will address the following issues:
While not formally part of the Doha Round there are also other issues on the agenda for the meeting, the most important of these being the expansion of the WTO International Technology Agreement (ITA).
A successful outcome in Bali will give the WTO a needed boost of confidence as a trade negotiating forum. A successful outcome in Bali will also raise the question of what is next for the Doha Round—whether to conclude the outstanding issues on the Doha Round, introduce new trade issues for negotiation, or accept a period of stasis as countries seek to conclude mega-regional free trade agreements (FTAs) such as the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations and the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) negotiations.
The WTO Ministerial Conference is the topmost decision-making body of the World Trade Organization which regularly convenes every two years. It brings together all members of the WTO, all of which are countries or customs unions. The Ministerial Conference can take decisions on all matters under any of the multilateral trade agreements.
The WTO is run by its member governments. All major decisions are made by the membership as a whole or by their ambassadors or delegates (who meet regularly in Geneva). Decisions are normally taken by consensus. In this respect, the WTO is different from some other international organizations such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. In the WTO, power is not delegated to a board of directors or the organization's head.

Ned Yost media session: Chen's return
Prior to tonight's 7:10 three-game series opener vs. the Chicago Cubs, Royals manager Ned Yost discussed the decision to option left-handed reliever Everett Teaford to Triple-A Omaha and keep outfielder Jarrod Dyson.
"It gives you an extra pinch hitter, it gives you an extra weapon in those National League games," Yost said. "There are different scenarios where we just felt that we had more opportunities to win games with him [Dyson] right now."
Left-handed starter Bruce Chen will be taking the mound tonight for the Royals after coming off the 15-day disabled list. The skipper is confident that Chen will be ready for tonight's contest after completing his minor league injury rehabilitation assignments.
"It will be more performance than pitch count, hopefully he [Chen] will go out and command the baseball and get us in the sixth or seventh inning," Yost said.
The Royals will be ready to take on the Chicago Cubs tonight in Interleague play, facing the team for the first time here since 2000. Despite the Royals five-game skid, Yost admires the squad's enthusiasm and compliments the team's ability to show up every day and be ready to win baseball games.

SARASOTA, Florida- Café Amalfi claims to have the best Italian in all of Sarasota. Cindy Hamilton says she was one of the restaurant's satisfied customers, that is, until an experience a few weeks ago while sitting down with a friend for lunch.
"My girlfriend was going to take a drink of water, and she pointed to the glass and there was...a roach on the glass of ice water," said Hamilton, and she wasn't alone.
We found complaint after complaint, most reporting roaches, some even crawling across customers!
PHOTOS: Can YOU count the roaches?!
"I'm like oh crap! I'm petrified," admitted Hamilton of the roach situation. "We didn't even eat half of our food. I wasn't eating any more.
Hamilton's complaint, along with others filed with the state, resulted in a temporary emergency closure the first week of June. The restaurant was allowed to reopen after meeting state inspection standards the following day.
So Tuesday afternoon, we stopped in. The restaurant's owner told us over the phone his kitchen was perfectly clean and invited us to look around.
That's what we did, and within seconds we started spotting our first roaches and multiple insects crawling across clean dinner plates stacked up for customers.
That was just the beginning. We spotted more bugs living underneath the dish washing area, roaches crawling into the walk in cooler where food was stored on the ground, and a whole family of roaches lined up in the crevice of a metal pan used for cooking.
Roaches were also crawling around in dining room, right up the wall. But it wasn't just bugs; we discovered other problems as well.
When we asked an employee if there was any soap to use while he was washing his hands he replied, "Not at the moment."
In fact, as far as we could tell, not a single sink had any soap for employees to use- something the state consider to be a high priority violation.
By the time the owner, John D'Atria, arrived we had come across plenty of problems we wanted to discuss.
"Not now, we're ready for dinner time," said D'Atria before adding he had no interest in allowing us back into the kitchen again.
We explained tthat the conditions we found in the kitchen were concerning and, in our opinion, would warrant an imminent threat to public health.
"That's not true sir. We had the board of health here and they gave us a clean bill of health," argued D'Atria. "They checked the whole place"
Customers had a much different view after we shared news of our findings.
"Well, we won't eat here because there are roaches crawling across the dinner plates," said Paula Dimaggio. "Its not clean if they're not talking care of it. If I saw one I'd leave, never mind colonies of them- that's disgusting!"
Dimaggio also said she was glad we happened to meet in the parking lot..."because you saved us from a very unpleasant experience."
10 News sent video of our visit to state regulators who returned to the restaurant Wednesday morning and immediately closed the restaurant's doors. The emergency closure documented 22 new violations, including one dead roach in the food display case at the front counter, and live roaches on the pizza trays, inside the bread warmer and in a drawer with utensils.
The state is scheduled to return Thursday for a follow up inspection to determine if the restaurant meets state standards to reopen.

Classics includes the study of the languages, the literatures and the civilizations of the ancient Greeks and Romans and the peoples with whom they had contact. Classics offers the Bachelor of Arts in Classics and minors in Classical Studies, Latin, and Greek. Within the Classics major two options are offered, Roman Civilization and Greek Civilization.
Classics, along with rhetoric, made up undergraduate education in Europe and the Americas from the Renaissance to the late nineteenth century. Today classical studies remains a practical liberal arts major for developing critical thinking skills, for understanding the core of Western civilization, for developing facility with English, and for cultivating aesthetic and moral sensitivity. Students interested in graduate school in either Classics or Classical Archaeology should consult with the departmental advisor as early as possible in their academic careers.
The department recommends that some time be spent in either Italy or Greece on one of the many programs designed to familiarize students with the physical remains of these civilizations (College Year at Athens, the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, the Aegean Institute, the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome, etc.). Courses at one of these institutions may be substituted for CSULB courses with departmental approval.

Culture | Gay group's media strategy has paid big dividends, even with daytime soap operas
Another advance in the gay marriage movement was reached in February, this time not on the steps of a courthouse but in the world of steamy television melodrama known as soap operas. On Feb. 16, the long-running daytime program All My Children depicted the genre's most recognizable character, Erica Kane (played for 39 years by actress Susan Lucci), looking on in joy as her daughter wed another woman.
The ceremony was staged in full soap-opera lavishness, with two young brides, outfitted in flowing white designer gowns, pledging their commitment to one another in front of a collared clergyman. The event wrapped up with a convention borrowed from the traditional wedding: a bridal kiss.
While same-sex weddings on television are hardly new (a lesbian ceremony featured heavily in a Friends episode from 1996, for example), the real-life drama surrounding legal challenges to California's recently passed constitutional amendment against homosexual marriages has made the milestone all the more significant. By tying the episode to Proposition 8, those associated with All My Children have reaffirmed the perception that the entertainment industry is of a single mind on the issue.
Said Tamara Braun, the actress who plays one of the lesbian characters, "If you are brave enough to want to get married, especially with the divorce rate as high as it is, then you should have that right no matter what sex you are or who you love . . . equal rights for all people." Lucci concurred, telling Entertainment Tonight that she is proud of the ground that All My Children has broken in featuring homosexual relationships, adding, "It is a full, romantic, rich relationship between Bianca and Reese [the lesbian characters], with all the complications that come from any passionate relationship."
Others working on the soap made it even clearer that the purpose of the storyline was not simply to entertain viewers at home but to alter the audience's point of view and effect social change. Eden Riegel, who plays the other lesbian bride, commented, "I think the beauty of the show is that we were able to reach people and get people sort of used to the idea." And executive producer Julie Hanan Carruthers expressed the hope that viewers at home would learn something by watching: "I think the challenge is to do it in a way that is not political but from character . . . that in itself teaches a huge lesson."
For their part, gay lobby groups have applauded ABC's willingness to bring homosexual marriage to daytime, saying their concern is only for "realism." "It's reality," said Neil Giuliano, president of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), a group whose press statements indicate a long, cordial relationship with ABC in general, and All My Children in particular. "So when we see a lesbian couple getting married on daytime drama, it simply reflects what's happening in the real world."
Yet only a month before Giuliano acknowledged that GLAAD's interest in gay storylines is more than simply making sure reality is reflected. At their 20th annual Media Awards, he stated that media's portrayal of homosexual relationships makes "all the difference" to public perception, and he credited ABC for doing much to sway the thinking of TV-watching Americans.
Giuliano's comments go a long way toward explaining why GLAAD has expended so much time and money over the years petitioning networks to feature more homosexual characters in a positive light. In the two decades since GLAAD started lobbying the entertainment industry, it has, by its own calculation achieved a level of influence unprecedented by any other group.
Along with standard network and cable, the group's Media Programs Department has broadened its scope into sports, news, and family programming, ratcheting up achievements like convincing the Associated Press to drop the word homosexual from their stylebook in favor of the term gay and successfully soliciting invitations to alter scripts on all four major networks.
An article in a 2005 issue of the Advocate heralded the "unpublicized consultations between producers and GLAAD representatives, who read scripts and offer guidance on GLBT [gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender] portrayals." It also indicated that the group is ahead of the curve in capturing the influential media of the future. After landing a meeting with the president of Univision to discuss the representation of homosexuality in the network's programming, the Spanish-language powerhouse agreed to media training with a GLAAD team that would "go from affiliate to affiliate."
Much of this hands-on approach with producers and writers stems from 2002 when, after years of sticking mostly to issuing cheers or jeers in reaction to television, the group collaborated with an outside consulting firm to develop a "five-year strategic plan" that would expand its opportunities to shape television content. The plan included tactics like reaching out to writers and producers to build cooperative relationships and targeting "media markets that attract youth."
"I think eight years ago, GLAAD's brand identity was solely one of a media watchdog, wagging our fingers at problematic representation and news coverage," says former executive director Joan Garry. "There wasn't a lot of dialogue between GLAAD and the entertainment business or journalism. I firmly believed that in order for GLAAD to be very effective, we had to continue to have a watchful eye on the media but add to that the strategy of being a resource to the entertainment industry and to journalism, to make suggestions about stories they could be telling-to get out in front so that we weren't dealing with problems later."
Entertainment media director for GLAAD, Scott Seomin, describes the group's aims even more bluntly, admitting they have no problem pressuring studios to create recurring gay characters: "The old MO was to wait until something bad happened, and get p---ed off," he says. "But we don't protest anymore. Why stand outside the building, when with one phone call we can be invited in."
By any indication, they have been invited in all over Tinsel Town. The 2008-2009 primetime lineup of the four major networks alone features a record 35 recurring homosexual characters, with 15 coming from ABC. Such results confirm that no other special interest group comes close to being as effective at holding sway in Hollywood. Former GLAAD media director Cathy Renna put it this way, "The media respects and/or fears GLAAD, depending on who they are and what they're doing."
These days, it seems to take little more than word from the powerful organization to change the direction of a show. When ABC dropped one homosexual character from Grey's Anatomy last year, GLAAD quickly responded with public consternation, saying, "We are disheartened. . . . Because there are so few lesbian characters on network television, we hope that ABC and Grey's Anatomy will commit to further providing representation on one of TV's most-watched shows." A new lesbian character was added to the hit drama for 2009.

MOUNDSVILLE - Not this time, and not in this house.

Tyler Consolidated's Cole Kocher (2) draws a bead on Bishop Donahue's Brett Moore (10) during action of their game Thursday night.
For the second consecutive year Bishop Donahue faced Tyler Consolidated in the regular-season finale with a West Virginia Class A playoff berth on the line. The Bishops watched the postseason from afar last season after a stunning loss to the Silver Knights, but behind a surgeon-like performance from junior quarterback Jesse Padlow, they turned the table Thursday night.
Padlow completed 21 of 31 passes (at least five were dropped) for 332 yards and three touchdowns and Lavonte Hampton found the end zone four times as the Bishops (7-3) clinched the right to play next week with a 47-28 victory against the Silver Knights (5-5) at Monarch Stadium.
''They're a physical team and we knew that going in,'' Bishop Donahue coach John Durdines said. ''But we game planned that they hadn't faced the type of passing attack that we could give.
''Jesse's been like Jesse's been - incredible. He spreads it around to so many players.''
The victory didn't come without what could end up being a considerable cost, however. Tyler Consolidated may not have beaten Bishop Donahue, but it sure beat the Bishops up.
Star two-way linemen Chase Padlow went down with an ankle injury and did not return. The same can be said for Hampton, who had nine catches for 173 yards and two touchdowns, but he was able to continue.
Perhaps the most concerning of them all, though, is rangy cornerback Josh Miller, who suffered what appeared to be a serious knee injury and was taken to the hospital at halftime for further evaluation.
''We're hoping it's just a sprain,'' Durdines said. ''Defensively the injuries really began to take their toll because we were subbing a lot of kids who didn't get a lot of reps.
''Our prayers are with Josh and Chase and Lavonte. What heart those men have.''
Knowing the Silver Knights don't possess a quick-strike offense, the Bishops wanted to get on top early and they did. Jesse Padlow hit Brett Moore with a 9-yard touchdown and then Hampton carried in for the first of his two, 1-yard touchdown runs right before the first quarter ended for a 14-0 lead.
Less than five minutes into the second quarter, it was 21-0 as Hampton scored again.
''Everybody knows that we're pretty one-dimensional right now,'' Tyler Consolidated coach Ryan Walton said. ''But we're working on that.
''I'll tell you what, Bishop Donahue, that's a good football team right there.
''They've got a lot of weapons and they can hurt you in a lot of different ways.''
Jacob Highley got the Tyler Consolidated on the board with the first of his three rushing touchdowns, this a 1-yarder. After Matt Vucelik cashed in on the ground with a 4-yard run to make it 27-7, the Knights went 63 yards in eight plays, culminating in a Jordan Baker to Cole Kocher 8-yard touchdown pass, and the 2-point conversion made it a two-score game.
It could have been worse as Bishop Donahue let the ensuing short kickoff roll, with Baker pouncing on it at the Bishops 38. Baker picked up 25 on a fourth-and-10 before a spike and a missed 30-yard field goal attempt by Highley ended the half.
The Bishops' depleted defense was able to force a three-and-out on the second half's initial possession, and the Donahue pretty much put it away not long after. Jesse Padlow scrambled for 9, Vucelik picked up 15 and Hampton pulled in an 18-yard pass before Vucelik gutted the Silver Knights with a 35-yard dash to the end zone.
''Matt is an incredible runner,'' Durdines said. ''We'd love to use him more, but he's my catalyst on defense and makes all the calls.
''I don't think people understand the wear and tear that it takes on you whenever you carry the ball.''
Highley, who rushed for a game-high 150 yards, all of them punishing runs, scored from the 3 to cut into the deficit again, but the Bishops immediately responded as Jesse Padlow found Hampton all alone in the end zone for a 5-yard score. The two hooked up again, this time from 21 yards in the fourth quarter before Highley ended the scoring with a 5-yard dash.
Padlow finishes the regular season with 20 touchdown passes and two interceptions.
''I don't think Jesse was ever even close to being touched,'' Durdines said. ''He's hard to game plan for and it's hard to simulate.
''He always come through and finds the right receiver.''
It's a tough ending for a young Silver Knights squad that saw a five-game winning streak snapped. They started the season 0-4 and the future looks extremely bright.
''These seniors set the tone this year and the underclassmen have to keep that fire going,'' Walton said. ''My hat's off to these seniors for what they've done.
''It stings and you can tell by the looks on some of their faces ... that's how you know it bothers them, when it hurts that bad.''

Ford Vs. GM Vs. Mopar - The Hot Rod Magazine DragsWritten by on November 11, 2009 Contributors: Mike Slade, Jerry Pitt Late Models Fight It Out At The Return Of The Hot Rod Drags. Here Are the Combinations That Make Them Fly.
From 1964 to 1969, HOT ROD magazine had its own NHRA event, the HOT ROD Championship Drags at Riverside (California) Raceway, and it was inundated with Stock class racers showing off Detroit's finest. So that's what came to mind as we sat with the guys at the NMRA/NMCA last year at the SEMA show, talking about working together on a drag race. With Detroit in its current state, it seemed like an event that showcased the latest hot rods from the Big Three was a natural, so the HOT ROD Drags made its return, this time presented by Flowmaster mufflers.
Staging it as a Ford versus GM versus Chrysler race, thanks to support from ShopHemi.com, the rules required late-model body styles with Modular, GM Gen III and IV, and Hemi engines, respectively. Engine swaps into early body styles (like an LS1 in a '69 Camaro) were not allowed. Two classes were created: an index class and a heads-up class. All the competitors would qualify together, and the quickest eight would go into the Quick 8 heads-up. To ensure that the Quick 8 wasn't weighted to one manufacturer, the quickest two cars from each manufacturer went into the class, plus the next quickest two as wild cards. That meant there would be at least two GM cars, two Fords, and two Mopars battling in a heads-up format. Everyone else ran in the index class. The heads-up racers also had to participate in the True Street 30-mile cruise prior to eliminations. The rules were structured to ensure real street cars, but power-adders and bolt-ons were allowed. Visit HOTROD.com for the complete rules.
The index class had 12 different indexes in half-second intervals ranging from 9.50 to 15.00. After a few rounds of time trials on Friday and Saturday, racers had to declare which index they were in. There was one qualifying round at the end of the day on Saturday, and a racer's position on the ladder was determined by who ran closest to his index without going under. Eliminations were on Sunday. The winners got $2,500 plus a plaque and jacket, the runner-up was paid $1,000 plus a plaque, and the semifinalists and quarterfinalists got $500 and $250, respectively ($250 and $100 in index). Flowmaster also provided $1,000 to the quickest car from each manufacturer.
The dates were August 6-9, the venue was Bruton Smith's spectacular zMax Dragway in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the race was held in conjunction with the Nitto Tire NMRA/NMCA All Star Nationals. It is a four-lane dragstrip, so we anticipated running all four lanes at once, but the brand-new track was having issues syncing the timing equipment, so that didn't happen. Other than that, the event went off without a hitch, with 30 cars entered. Nearly all of them were street cars with the typical bolt-ons, and the e.t.'s ranged from two mid-9s to a high 14-perfect, exactly what we were hoping for. When it was all over, Sheila Rivers' Trans Am stood atop the heads-up class and Jim Burford's '07 Corvette made it through five rounds to win the index class.
Finally, a special thank you must go out to our sponsors Flowmaster and ShopHemi.com for their support in the return of the HOT ROD Drags and also to the NMRA/NMCA crew for handling all the logistics involved in this event.

Jack Reynolds showed the easiest (though not the most attractive) way to keep rubber off the quarter-panels: clear plastic wrap. His '08 SRT8 Challenger makes 447 hp with Arrington Stage I heads, Kooks headers, and Flowmaster mufflers. On M&H Racemaster tires, it runs mid-12s, and on a 12.50 index, he broke out in the third round with a 12.455.zMax Dragway (located across the street from Lowes Motor Speedway) is the new Taj Mahal of dragstrips. With four lanes and the nicest dragstrip tower we've ever been in, it's even more shocking to learn that it was built in only a few months. This is Nelson Whitlock Jr. boiling the hides on his high-10-second '10 GT500.After the last round of qualifying on Sunday, here was the Quick 8. Clockwise from the blue Mustang at the top are Nelson Whitlock Jr., Rob Farley, James Miller (300C), Stephen Wells, Sheila Rivers, Michael Meeks, Jeff Schmell, and Al Gennarelli.Her '98 Trans Am runs a 408ci LSX motor with AFR heads, a FAST intake, and a 150-shot Nitrous Express kit. The chassis uses a Racecraft tubular K-member, a BMR torque arm and control arms, and QA1 shocks, while the transmission is a TH400 and the rear is a Moser 9-inch. With all factory accessories still working, it makes 670 hp to the tires and hikes the Bogart wheels to a best pass (at this event) of 10.022 at 134 mph.With a stock short-block, Trick Flow heads, a 90mm FAST throttle body, a custom-ground ECS cam, and American Racing headers, it ran as quick as 11.23 at 122 but has run mid-10s. He says power-adders are "for girls" and the engine makes "enough power to win." He didn't, though, losing to Sheila Rivers in the final.Stephen Wells went to the semis and lost to Rob Farley. His '02 Camaro runs a mostly stock engine with a custom cam, a Kooks/Corsa exhaust, and a small whiff of spray. It makes 450 hp to the Mickey Thompson drag radials through a stock 4L65E trans. The car ran as quick as 11.03 at 125 during qualifying.
Michael Meeks from Santa Rosa, Florida, was the first to register for the HOT ROD Drags, but he went out in the first round to James Miller's 300C.The '04 GTO has a 408-inch LS1 with a Callies/JE bottom end, Trick Flow heads, a Comp cam, Kooks headers, a FAST intake fed by a Nasty Performance tube, and a hidden 100-shot of nitrous. It ran as quick as 11.40 at 119 mph but slowed to a 12.88 in the first round and lost.Paul Smith Jr. had the raciest-looking car in the index class, with sponsor stickers everywhere and 28x10.5 Hoosier slicks. He was the number four qualifier and went all the way to the finals for a runner-up finish.The '98 Vette has a 427ci LS2 with ported LS6 heads, a FAST intake and 90mm throttle body, long-tube headers, and a vacuum pump to make 495 hp and 490 lb-ft at the wheels. It's shifted by a Rossler 4L60E, and the stock IRS rear has a DTE Stage V Quaife with 4.10s. It's run as quick as 9.95 at 135 and was running on the 10.00 index at zMax.Flowmaster $1,000 Low-Qualifier Award Winner ShopHemi.com brought out a handful of customers' cars, including the lone Chrysler 300C belonging to James Miller of Suffolk, Virginia. It has a 6.1L Hemi with an Arrington throttle body and qualified with an 11.35 at 119 mph. He lost to Sheila Rivers in the semifinal of the heads-up class.Al Gennarelli's (Sunbury, North Carolina) '09 SRT8 Challenger features a 426ci short-block, Arrington cylinder heads, an Arrington 90mam throttle body, and Kooks long-tube headers.The Kooks Headers family was well represented with two SRT8 Mopars. This is George "Pops" Kook Sr. in his '06 300C.
George Kook Jr.'s '07 Magnum runs a stock engine, save for a custom cam and a Vortech V-3 supercharger.It's slightly quicker than his dad's 300C and was running in the 11.50 index. In the heat of the day, however, it slowed to a 12.35 and went out in the first round.Nelson Whitlock Sr. runs Evolution Performance, and you may remember his '07 Mustang GT500 from the Feb. '07 issue, where it was featured as the first GT500 in the 10s.With a tiny pulley on a Kenne-Bell blower, it ran 9.68 at 143 mph and was running on the 10.00 index at the HOT ROD Drags, but a first-round redlight ended his day. His son, Nelson Jr., was running in the heads-up class with a '10 Mustang.Randall Sargent of Blountville, Tennessee, had one of the nicest cars in the HOT ROD Drags. His '06 SRT8 Charger runs an Arrington 426 stroker fitted with ported heads and a 0.570-lift cam, an AFE Stage 2 induction system, and a Kooks/Billy Boat exhaust to make 478 hp. Richmond gears on a Quaife differential, a beefed driveshaft, and 1,000hp halfshafts keep it alive on its way to low 12s. Joshua Schwartz was driving the car and left on Paul Smith Jr. in the first round but ran too far off his dial to keep Smith's Vette behind him.Flowmaster $1,000 Low-Qualifier Award Winner Danny Nicely's Corvette is a bad boy with a 9.70-at-144 best-ever timeslip. It has an LS7 with an Eagle bottom end, ETP-worked LS7 heads, a Comp cam of undeclared specs, and American Racing headers. An RPM-prepped 4L60E automatic and Z06 rearend give it to Hoosier 28x10-15 slicks on Bogart wheels. His 10.009-at-136 qualifier made him the lowest qualifying GM car, which scored Flowmaster's $1,000 prize.
