In some S60 2nd and 3rd Edition devices the level of background noise may be disturbing when using an audio output stream to play back silence; that is, when the stream is fed with zero-filled buffers.
Applications should not implement a 'mute' functionality by streaming zero-filled buffers. Instead, the output stream should either be stopped or its volume level should be set to 0.
Note that adjusting the volume is a significantly faster operation than stopping/restarting the stream.

The 2008-2009 season was a fall from grace for the Colorado Avalanche, onetime perennial powers in the Western Conference who were reduced to a last-place finish.
Off-Season Game Plan looks at what's ahead for the Avalanche, who started the off-season by firing GM Francois Giguere.
Missing the playoffs twice in three seasons brought about Giguere's demise and has former general manager Pierre Lacroix calling the shots, at least until Giguere's replacement is hired. While Lacroix could return to the post, former NHL goaltender and Avs VP of Hockey Operations Craig Billington is an internal candidate for the job as well. Doug Risebrough and Jay Feaster are but a few of the experienced NHL general managers who are available.
No matter who takes over, they will have no shortage of personnel issues to face, with an aging roster that needs to be infused with youth in the coming seasons as well as a number of younger players that need to make substantial strides in their development in order to fill leadership positions.
If the Avalanche go the route of the full-scale rebuilding project, it will require moving out veterans (some of whom have no-trade clauses) and that may be the best plan of attack.
Even if the Avalanche make enough improvements to the roster over the summer to compete for a playoff spot next year, there isn't enough of a core here to think that they will be true contenders in the next few seasons.
With the franchise's greatest player, Joe Sakic, ready to skate into the sunset, it's time for the next generation of Avalanche stars to step up.
GM/COACHVacant/Tony Granato
Top Prospects: Ryan Stoa (24-22-46, plus-17 in 36 GP; Minnesota-WCHA), T.J. Galiardi (10-17-27, minus-10 in 66 GP; Lake Erie-AHL).
Ryan Smyth tied for the team lead in scoring with 59 points and, while his second season was better than his first in Colorado, there were rumblings before the deadline that the Avs might consider trying to deal him (despite his no-trade clause).
Such a move would certainly add financial flexibility, but would only figure to interest Smyth if there was going to be a major overhaul for rebuilding purposes. Otherwise, the Avs need him to get back to the 30-goal form that he showed in his two seasons prior to signing in Colorado.
Part of the reason for Colorado's decline in 2008-2009 were the injuries that marred Paul Stastny's season. After scoring 149 points in his first 148 NHL games, Stastny was limited to 36 points in 45 games last season, playing just 11 games after Christmas before suffering a broken foot (to go with his previously broken forearm). When healthy, he is the focal point of Colorado's offence.
Veteran sniper Milan Hejduk tied Smyth for the team scoring lead, but also posted the first minus rating (minus-19) of his career. The 33-year-old is entering the final year of his contract and would have some appeal if he was willing to be moved, but he's also one of the club's few proven finishers so if the Avalanche do unload Hejduk it could make the rebuilding process all the more challenging.
Beyond that established trio, the Avalanche are in dire need of improvement from their young forwards.
Marek Svatos is too talented to score just 14 goals, but his play without the puck seems to terminally limit his ice time so when he's not scoring, he can go through extended droughts.
Few players are as streaky as Wojtek Wolski, who has the size and skill to do more than he has thus far. Beyond his outstanding skills in the shootout, however, Wolski has seen his goal and point production decline in each of the last two seasons. He should be a top six forward.
While Joe Sakic's injury created an opportunity for T.J. Hensick to stick with the Avalanche for an extended period, he didn't produce enough offensively to secure a spot for the future. Hensick is a creative playmaker but, even as a setup guy, simply has to score more than four goals in 61 games.
Bruising young winger Chris Stewart had his moments as a rookie, scoring 11 goals and generally faring well in his eight scraps, but a rookie-worst minus-18 (in 53 games), shows room for improvement before he's considered a legitimate NHL winger, let alone a power forward.
If the Avalanche make any effort at all to purge overpriced veterans, Darcy Tucker has to fall in the crosshairs of the new GM. Tucker was wholly ineffective in his first season with Colorado, to the point that it may not be worth having the 34-year-old take a roster spot that can go to a young winger.
There were few bright spots for the Avalanche last season, but blue-collar winger Cody McLeod would qualify. Though McLeod has limited offensive skills, he scored 15 goals and was a consistent physical presence.
Like his namesake, Cody McCormick is a big, physical winger, but with only one goal in 55 games, he'll face competition for a spot in the lineup.
David Jones' season was cut short by a shoulder injury and he's still trying to establish his role in the NHL, but he has the size and speed to warrant a roster spot.
While it might be heartwarming to have Joe Sakic return for one more season, it's hard to figure that Burnaby Joe is going to be inclined to charge up the batteries for another season after he's managed to play a total of 59 games in the last two seasons. Time to start on that Hall of Fame induction speech, Joe.
Unrestricted free agents that the Avalanche may be inclined to keep around are Ian Laperriere, a 35-year-old vet who lays it all on the line nightly and was a target for contending teams around the trade deadline, and Ben Guite, who has been an inexpensive, reliable checker.
With this group of forwards, the Avalanche definitely need some additions to go along with internal improvement if they are going to get back into playoff contention.
First off, Colorado holds the third pick in the upcoming NHL draft and, at the moment, it appears that Brampton Battalion centre Matt Duchene is most likely to be available at that spot. Duchene has been earning raves for his play in the OHL and could, conceivably, step into the Avalanche lineup next season.
Colorado also has a rookie on the way in the form of 22-year-old Ryan Stoa, a forward with good size who led the Minnesota Golden Gophers with 24 goals and 46 points in 36 games.
If Stoa and (presumably) Duchene can play and the young forwards show enough improvement, then the Avalanche may be on the right track.
While a blockbuster signing up front wouldn't come close to curing all that ails the Avalanche, it wouldn't hurt to explore the possibility of landing a marquee free agent sniper like Martin Havlat, Marian Gaborik or even Alex Kovalev, in an attempt to simply raise the skill level at the top of the depth chart.
Top Prospects: Kevin Shattenkirk (7-21-28, plus-28 in 43 GP; Boston University-HE), Colby Cohen (8-24-32, plus-23 in 43 GP; Boston University-HE), Nigel Williams (7-14-21, plus-1 in 70 GP; Lake Erie-AHL), Cameron Gaunce (17-47-64, plus-28 in 67 GP; Mississauga-OHL)
While the Avalanche have some quality blueline prospects on the way, it may require some wrangling to get them into action for next season.
As it stands right now, the Avalanche have five veteran defencemen signed -- all at more than $3-million -- for 2009-2010.
As the most adept puck-handler in the group, John-Michael Liles is supposed to be a cornerstone, but last year's career-low minus-19 didn't shine a bright light on his defensive prowess. He's not big, nor is he aggressive, so he's not likely to be a defensive stalwart, yet Liles' skating and puck skills should produce better results if he has a stronger supporting cast (in terms of goaltending and forwards).
Ruslan Salei remains an effective top-four veteran defenceman. He hits, blocks shots and can handle the puck well enough to spend some time on the power play.
With one year left on his deal, Salei may have some appeal on the trade market for a team not wanting to make a long-term financial commitment and if he's moved, that could accelerate the process of bringing in some new blood on the Avalanche blueline.
Another veteran in a similar situation is Brett Clark. Clark has been generally reliable since coming to Colorado and even if he wasn't as effective last season, he was still far-and-away the team leader in blocked shots. Like Salei, he's capable of filling a top four role for most teams and has one year left on his deal.
Scott Hannan is supposed to be the shutdown defender of this group. While he remains durable, having missed just six games in his last six seasons Hannan, like many Avs, faded in the second half of the season as the team fell out of playoff contention.
Years of battling in the trenches have taken their toll on Adam Foote as the 37-year-old was limited to just 42 games last season and he wasn't particularly effective when he did play. If nothing else, Foote still competes and has tremendous playoff experience, but playoff experience isn't at the top of this team's list of needs.
Undersized defenceman Kyle Cumiskey is a sensational skater, but has yet to establish that he's worthy of a regular spot in the NHL and it didn't help his case to have his season end due to shoulder surgery after just six games. The good news is that shoulder trouble shouldn't affect his wheels, so he may have a chance to establish his NHL credentials next season.
Looking at that group, the Avalanche could use some fresh legs and improved puckhandling on the back end. If they could get 2007 first-rounder Kevin Shattenkirk from Boston University, where he led all Terriers defencemen in plus-minus on their way to the National Championship, then that would not only bring in a mix of youth right away, but would also allow Shattenkirk to learn for a year from the veterans on hand before having more responsibility thrust upon him.
If the Avs don't count on at least one of the prospects to make the jump this season, then they could look to the free agent market for the likes of Ville Koistinen or Marc-Andre Bergeron, mobile puck-handling defencemen still in their twenties.
A more dramatic move would be to target Jay Bouwmeester, but that's only reasonable if the Avalanche make some cost-cutting moves in the meantime to help accomodate what is expected to be one of the largest contracts signed this summer.
The Avs aren't jammed up against the cap yet, but if they are going to address other needs as well (goaltending, for one), then they can't be expected to throw $6-million-plus at any free agent.
Top Prospects: Trevor Cann (35-15-1, 2.61 GAA, .919 SVPCT in 52 GP; London-OHL), Billy Sauer (5-6, 2.02 GAA, .921 SVPCT in 13 GP; Michigan-CCHA)
Undoubtedly the position of greatest concern for the Avalanche is in goal, where Peter Budaj hasn't developed as hoped. He's had sensational moments, but the 26-year-old hasn't established the consistency required to be a number one goaltender.
Since they can't hinge another season on the hope that Budaj will make the leap, the Avalanche have to hit the free agent or trade markets in an effort to land a more reliable puckstopper. Some free agents that might come at a more reasonable cost include Craig Anderson and Antero Niittymaki, a pair of backups who challenged for starting jobs with their teams last season.
Finding stability between the pipes could make the Avs more competitive right away, as they ranked ninth in the league in shots allowed last season, only to have Budaj and Andrew Raycroft combine for a 27th-ranked .897 save percentage.
DRAFT3rd - Matt Duchene, Evander Kane, Brayden Schenn, Magnus Paajaarvi-Svensson.
Needs: Three top nine forwards, top pair defenceman, another defenceman, starting goaltender What I said the Avalanche needed last year: Two top nine forwards, two defencemen Who did they add? Darcy Tucker, Andrew Raycroft.

Fly Like An American Eagle, Avoid This Stock
David is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Backing consumer stocks, especially in the clothing industry, is highly unpredictable. Consumer preferences change without notice, and competitors often replicate one another's popular lines with little patent protection. That said, there are some solid companies out there that have meaningful growth prospects ahead that you can buy into at a cheap valuation. There are others that have seen their days of glory and unreasonably trade at a premium. To which categories do American Eagle and Nike belong?
Why You Should Fly Like An American Eagle (NYSE: AEO)
Apparel producer American Eagle has been on a roll in recent months with profits soaring and outperformance against peers. The company's success has been credited to execution in differentiating products from the competition. In the recent quarter, revenue of $910 million came out $37 million ahead of expectations and capex fell from $30 million to $23 million. But, in an industry where consumer preferences are fickle, is this sustainable? Does it make sense to invest after shares have risen ~82% from the 52-week low.
I recommend exposure. Though the company has delivered double-digit same-store growth (10%), this has caused plenty of mall-based peers to irrationally outperform the market. Put differently, American Eagle has not gotten enough exclusive credit as its corporate achievement has been unreasonably connected to broader and more general industry trends. As the industry fails to keep up with American Eagles' growth, we can expect multiples to continue to expand. At 13.2x forward earnings and no debt, American Eagle is attractive at the current valuation.
To put American Eagle's performance into perspective, consider it relative to competitor Gap (NYSE: GPS). The former has seen free cash flow rise 79.2% over the last 5 years while the latter has seen its free cash flow decline -2.9%. This outperformance has continued into the last year where American Eagles' free cash flow growth of 176% was 2.6x the amount experienced by Gap. Yet its competitor still trades fairly close at 12.3x forward earnings with weaker growth prospect ahead (a rate of nearly 100 bps less over the next 5 years). So, again, I recommend buying shares--the same strategy recommended by 75% of reporting analysts.
Why You Should Avoid Nike (NYSE: NKE)
For exposure to the sports apparel market, Nike is an obvious possibility. While its FQ2 performance beat expectations on both the top- and bottom-lines, China's softness continues to depress my outlook. Gross profit margins are at a historical low and may come to represent a new normal. Right now, the firm trades at a respective 22.9x and 17.6x past and forward earnings. The growth rate of 10.3% is below American Eagle's and, hence, you would do much better investing in American Eagle with a larger margin of safety.
Assuming Nike meets expectations, 2016 EPS will come out to $8.03, which, at a multiple of 16x, translates to a future stock value of $128.50. This provides for only a 6% annual average return when you factor in dividends--not nearly enough to merit an active investment. On the other hand, management has showcased a strong commitment to returning free cash flow to shareholders. It recently increased its dividend by around 17% recently. This was above expectations and maintains the history of double-digit increases.
At a time when Chinese orders declined 6% sequentially from changing consumer styles and a decelerating economy (we knew trends were softer bad, but this bad?), Nike is a stock to avoid. It has been selling off some of its brands--Umbro to Brand Group for $225 million and Cole Haan to Apex for $570 million--and, to its credit, has generated better-than-expected liquid injection in the process. Further, the company's clout in Oregon was enough to get the state Legislature to hold a special meeting to discuss whether to fully disclose whether it would retroactively change its tax treatment for the shoe maker (something industry lobbyists argue all companies should have a right to know in an already uncertain market). So, though the company carries a powerful brand name that enables it to sell lines and its stock at a premium, investors should not get in now with the upside limited.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- A wanted felon ditched a stolen vehicle and hid in a Felts Field Airport bathroom until deputies caught up with him, according to police.
Employees of the Division of Social and Health Services office in 8700 block of East Trent noticed the stolen Jeep Cherokee in the parking lot Tuesday morning.
They told police two men abandoned the Jeep and ran.
Deputies searched the area and found two men matching the employees' descriptions walking along the train tracks near Felts Field. A train delayed the officers, but they eventually found both of them inside of the airport.
Police caught Jeremy Beeching, 19, hiding in a bathroom stall. A check of Beeching's name showed he had an outstanding felony warrant for theft of a motor vehicle already on his record. He was arrested, but reportedly refused to talk about the stolen Jeep.
Deputies found the other man on a staircase. He told police he met Beeching just days before and they abandoned the Jeep when it ran out of gas. The man allegedly told the deputies he smoked meth with Beeching that morning and he was too high to notice some of his odd behavior throughout the day. This included carrying around a duffel bag and backpack he grabbed from the Jeep before heading to Felts Field.
A visitor at the airport later found that backpack in the trash, along with sunglasses, a set of gloves and shaved keys. Deputies found the duffel bag near DSHS and say it contained the Jeep's stereo equipment.
The DSHS employees positively identified both men as the people who ran from the parking lot.
Beeching was booked into the Spokane Co. Jail for the previous felony warrant, as well as possession of a stolen motor vehicle and possession of motor vehicle theft tools.
Police could not determine if the passenger knew the Jeep was stolen. He was released after questioning.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The bills just keep getting bigger for the Upper Cumberland Development District in Cookeville.
That agency was shaken back in February by a scandal that ended up with its longtime executive director being forced to resign.
Now, UCDD officials are facing bills of almost a quarter of a million dollars from the lawyers they hired to investigate.
At the center of the investigation was that million-dollar Living the Dream facility into which longtime UCDD boss Wendy Askins sunk so much money.
Recently, NewsChannel 5 Investigates returned to Living the Dream and saw reminders about the extravagance that turned what was supposed to be a retirement home for needy seniors into a financial boondoggle.
For the first time, we got a peek inside what was once Wendy Askins' own living quarters -- a master bedroom with an HDTV and a wall-mounted electric fireplace.
Inside what she labeled the powder room, there was her $3,000 computer-controlled sauna shower.
Then there was a full-sized room that had been turned into walk-in closet like you've probably never seen.
We also found the used furniture that Askins appears to have bought from her own mother for $5,300, including a doll cabinet that displayed items that Askins apparently took with her when she left.
"Since the beginning of the thing, you've wondered what's around the next corner," said Byrdstown Mayor Chris Thompson, a member of the UCDD board.
That surprise around the next corner turned out to be an invoice from the Nashville law firm that the agency hired to conduct the internal investigation.
The total bill: $280,000. The law firm threw in a $70,000 discount, still leaving the agency owing $210,000.
"When I read it and I got down to the $210,000, I didn't read anymore," said Putnam County Executive Kim Blaylock. "I didn't look at it anymore because I was so upset."
The bills show five attorneys working on the UCDD investigation, charging as much as $395 an hour.
That's on top of another bill of $27,000 from the agency's regular lawyers.
All of that, to Thompson, raised all sorts of questions.
"Who was monitoring it?" he asked. "Who was kind of keeping up with the time that they were being billed -- and so on and so forth? And apparently nobody was."
It turns out that, back in February, chairman Mike Foster asked the board to authorize him to sign an engagement letter with the law firm -- even though he had failed to bring the letter to the meeting for them to see the prices.
"Pricing is in the letter -- I intended for y'all to look at it," Foster said.
No one apparently imagined the bills would ever run so high.
NewsChannel 5 Investigates asked Blaylock, "Is there some concern about whether the agency can afford this?"
"Well, nobody wants a $210,000 lawyer bill," she said. "I'm sure we'll come up with the money, but had the bad decisions not been made, we wouldn't be sitting here talking about it, and that's sad."
Those attorney bills, which altogether total $237,000, are on top of the $900,000 that the lawyers say the agency stands to lose if it cannot turn Living the Dream into a profitable enterprise.
Several board members tell me they want to see if they can't negotiate an even bigger discount with the Nashville law firm.
The UCDD board meets again Thursday. That's when these attorney bills may be up for discussion.

ALLOUEZ, WI (WTAQ) - The wife of Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney made a brief appearance Tuesday morning in Allouez.
Speaking to supporters at the Green Bay Victory Center on South Webster Avenue, Ann Romney talked about the need to help out those affected by Sandy.
"This is a time for America to unite," says Romney. "It's wonderful, whenever there's a crisis in this country, what do we all do, we put aside party, we put our arms together and we solve problems."
Mrs. Romney urged people to bottled water, non-perishable food items and blankets at campaign centers to those affected by Superstorm Sandy. She also asked people to donate blood, as well as money, to the Red Cross.
Ann Romney's visit comes a day after her husband, Mitt Romney, cancelled his planned campaign visit to the State Fair Grounds in West Allis. It also is ahead of GOP Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan's appearance in Ashwaubenon on Wednesday.

Explaining the Brony Phenomenon
Update: Thanks so much to Equestria Daily for the link!
This is now my most popular post ever! =)
In 2010, an animated series entitled My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic debuted on cable tv. It was praised by critics for its humor and moral outlook, and attracted an audience of young girls, as the producers had expected. What wasn't expected was the other audience, a massive group of fans calling themselves "bronies" and consisting mainly of young men. ("bro"+"pony" = "brony")
Let me just say that again: There are guys out there, who are not gay, who are not 4 years old, who openly adore a tv show called My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. And not just a few guys; there's a lot of them.
This is big. How big? Well first off you can look at all the brony fanfiction, but it's bigger that that. There's also brony art and brony comics, but it's bigger than that. There's a major trend of pony music videos, so songs like Bohemian Rhapsody are sung by ponies on YouTube. There are also songs from Weird Al and the opening song of the cartoon show Freakazoid with parody lyrics so now it's about ponies. Then there are the songs from the show itself, and the remixes of those songs, and the hoards of bronies making sing-along versions of the songs. People have produced whole albums of original music somehow connected to the show. The bronies have already made a high-quality rap song about being a brony. In fact there's so much music out there that you can now listen to it 24 hours a day over at Celestia Radio.
But it goes beyond music. There's also a trend of using ponies to dub movie trailers, so Forrest Gump becomes Rainbow Gump and Watchmen become WatchPonies. There's a Pony Bebop and a Samurai Applejack. There are also multiple abridged series out there, which means fans are redubbing their own voices to make affectionate parodies of the show. But it's bigger than that.
Bronies have taken random background ponies and imagined all sorts of details, creating characters like Derpy and Doctor Whooves, both of which have their own dedicated fan projects. And they've made random phrases from the show into popular memes, such as "20% cooler".
Bronies have started dubbing the show into Spanish. (Even some of the fan-made content has a Spanish version.) Also German. Next up it'll be Chinese. Oh wait, we already have that.
There's been stuff about pony physics, pony anatomy, and the pony political economy. Even Steven Colbert gave a shout-out to the bronies.
Bronies are even setting up a charity group called Bronies for Good. Somebody rewrote "We Are the World" to be about ponies so it could be used in brony charity drives. (Oh wait that was me. And I'm also voicing a character in a Doctor Whooves radioplay, and I've just been accepted as a cast member for Magical Pony Theater 3000.)
People have made pony playing cards and pony video games. There's a pony mod of Super Smash Brothers Brawl, a game called My Little Investigations, a pony spinoff of pokemon, a 3D pony racing game, a seperate 3D pony game, a pony dating sim, two pony MMO's, a high-quality fighting game, and a flash game called The Fiends from Dream Valley which features actual professional voice actors. (Most of these aren't complete yet.)
All of this is fan-based. None of it was funded or officially sponsored by the actual owners of My Little Pony.
Did I mention that the show has only aired one season so far, and the next season is still months away?
The brony phenomenon has gotten so big that the fans need dedicated aggregator websites like Equestria Daily just to keep track of it all. And don't forget all the activity at ponychan. This thing is huge, at least considering the original intended audience of the show.
The question is: Why? Why would a show aimed at little girls attract such a large audience of non-little-girls? Most bronies would give a simple answer: "This show is awesome". But it goes deeper than that.
Clearly it's a good show, with good characters, good writing, and good animation. But that hardly explains the scale of the brony phenomenon.
The big factor is the brony community itself. The community sustains and expands itself, and the show has become a proxy for a variety of values and relationships that are much more important and fundamental than the actual show. Allow me to explain:
Though we don't often realize it, young men (approx. age 13-29) are constrained by a variety of social norms. (The same applies to any other demographic, of course.) We tend to enjoy badass things like superheroes and martial arts. (Well we're mostly internet nerds so we don't do much martial arts, but we watch martial arts movies etc.) We spend a lot of time playing Halo or Modern Warfare, killing aliens and terrorists. This is all fine; we actually do enjoy this stuff. But for most of our lives, we have been socially prohibited from enjoying anything cute, pure or innocent. (Even our comedies are crude.) This prohibition is so strong that we don't even realize it's there; we don't even think about various styles of entertainment which don't fit within our social norms. (And those who deviate are often derrided as "fags" etc.) This has created a kind of emotional malnutrition; we have not allowed ourselves to consume as much cuteness, pureness or innocence in our media as we would actually like to consume.
MLP:FiM contains all of these elements in spades, with the strong bonus that it's a well-made show overall. With the advent of the brony community, young men have collectively granted each other permission to rewrite our own social norms and relieve our malnutrition. The existence of the community encourages new bronies to "come out of the closet" as it were, not to admit that we are gay (which we typically aren't), but to admit that we enjoy these elements which are typically regarded as feminine and/or socially prohibited to us. Thus the community enables our enjoyment of the show, and the exhilaration we experience at successfully changing our own social norms is one of the primary feelings that we share with each other. (Though most people don't think this through in such detail, and reduce the entire phenomenon to "This show rocks!")
A side note: young men often use "gay" as an insult, but the bronies have decided that Rainbow Dash is gay (though this is not canon within the show), and this is not meant as an insult. Rainbow Dash may be the first (allegedly) gay character whom young men allow themselves to enjoy and admire. So again, we're changing our own social rules for the better.
The other half of the community factor is the way community members treat each other. A lot of us come from forums and websites where nastiness is expected, with plenty of insults and flame wars. The brony community, inspired both by the show and by our desire for change, has embraced "tolerance and love" as defining features. Perhaps it's no surprise that the brony phenomenon began on 4chan, which is particularly known for nastiness and whose members are probably most in need of a more tolerant online community. (Though not all 4chan participants took kindly to the bronies, who later formed a spinoff site at PonyChan) As a sociology student recently pointed out, various community discussions exemplify the sort of thing that young men can do with fellow bronies that they cannot do with their other peers. We have collectively granted each other permission to be nice to one another, and we love it. Once again, it all depends on community.
(By the way, the community would not have grown half this large if Hasbro had taken the standard hardline legal route, issuing takedown orders against youtube videos etc. Intra-community communication and expression would have been greatly hampered in that case. But Hasbro has done quite the opposite; in fact they even acknowledged bronies in a recent advertisement.)
A thread on ponychan reached similar conclusions, and included this quote:
"Shame" is an interesting word. I think the cuteness and childishness appeals to our original innocence, and innocence knows no shame.
Ponies are not the beginning either; /b/tards [users of the particular 4chan forum where the phenomenon started] have a history of embracing cute and innocent things. That was Boxxy's appeal. Then there's cats. Rozen Maiden. Robot Unicorn Attack. The list goes on. What's interesting is this runs parallel with the /b/tard reputation for being the most vile, wretched goblins on the entire interbutts. I think they're connected. I think in order to get a disgusting perverted adult, you have to start with a kid just oozing innocence, and beat the [crap] out of them. Feed them lies, then laugh at them for believing you. Watch the disillusion sink in as their innocence is torn from them in childhood, seared out of them in school, and then are cast out into the world to be bachelor frogs. So they [..] struggle with major depression and they rage and they do all the things damaged people do. But somewhere deep down they remember what they were. Maybe part of them is still that way. They see ponies, and damn society's gender roles, they like them. [...] they continue to watch the show because it reminds them of something good and pure they had before the hardness of the world robbed them of it.
Clearly, this is more than just a tv show to us.
Yes, the show is good, but the biggest reason to watch the show is to join the community. Yes, the mash-ups are fun, but the biggest reason to watch or create mashups is to become part of the community. By these activities, we're not just enjoying the actual content, we're enjoying the ideals behind that content, ideals which go beyond the original intentions of the show's creators.
That is why the bronies are awesome. That is why I'm a brony.

Berkeley Rep's Black n Blue Boys / Broken Men is thrilling
The world premiere of Dael Orlandersmith's compelling play, Black n Blue Boys / Broken Men, is now at Berkeley Rep through June 24. Ms. Orlandersmith, sole writer and actor in this powerful production, portrays a handful of abused boys and the haunting effects the abuse has on the men they become.
Black n Blue Boys / Broken Men is carved into searing character studies of abused boys, each of whom suffers a different form of mistreatment. Some of the boys reappear on stage later in their lives as we see them struggle to escape their horrible childhoods. The play has a riveting message that never appears preachy, but it does explore gritty taboo subjects we'd ordinarily avoid. The boys suffer from child rape, alcoholic rages, prostitution, beatings and pedophilia.
In each vignette, Orlandersmith depicts the dialect, body language and affect of the characters, including Puerto Rican, Irish and African American boys. She appears on stage throughout the 90-minute (no intermission) performance. That's hard work, but Orlandersmith made it seem effortless. Her acting ability is as exceptional as is her writing. In each scene, through her acting and writing talents, she convincingly presents a vivid story of each subject's life. Yet, the following day, I found that my memory of the characters had run together a bit. … Continue reading »

One too many times. I can't do it anymore. I can't just forgive you. You left me there crying. I don't deserve to be treated like that, no one does. Yeah, your apology was too late, because while I was crying you did nothing. Only a while after did you understand. Only a while after did you cry. When you do things like this, I begin to waver. Especially when there are guys who I know want to be with me, and would never do this to me. This is the first time this has ever happened to me and I hope it is the last because I will not put up with it. To think that I wanted to spend time with you when you act like that, makes me feel foolish. Just plain foolish.

Advance copies of these two highly-anticipated beauties arrived at the office yesterday: the first two volumes in our EC Comics Library series, Came the Dawn and Other Stories illustrated by Wallace Wood and Corpse on the Imjin! and Other Stories by Harvey Kurtzman et al. Came the Dawn features thrilling crime and suspense stories drawn by Wood (written mostly by Al Feldstein), and Corpse on the Imjin! contains Kurtzman's masterful and influential war stories illustrated by himself and others. If you didn't know and hadn't gathered, the volumes in this new series collect stories by genre and creator, in glorious black and white. (And don't they look handsome? Series design & art direction by good ol' Jacob Covey.) This classic material has never been collected this way before, and we're honored and proud to be doing it!
We've already posted excerpts from each book on its respective page with several full stories you can read (plus the tables of contents for your reference), and, of course, stay tuned for further previews. We also have a special deal for our mail-order customers where you can buy both books together for 20% off! Yes, we will have advance copies for sale at SPX next week and at our EC exhibit at Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery next month (stay tuned for more about that), and the books are due to hit the shelves in November.

SPOKANE, Wash. - Police arrested two men in the early morning hours of Monday after they say the men were caught stealing from a recycling company in east Spokane.
Spokane Police Officers arrest 2 suspects after responding to a burglary in
progress at Action Recycling
Officers were alerted to the burglary when the victim reported an alarm at
Action Recycling just before midnight on 022413. Officers responded quickly
and observed two males flee the area on foot. There was a short foot pursuit
with one suspect until a K-9 unit responded to assist. Several Officers
surrounded the area and set up a containment perimeter. 45 year old Johnny R.
Harris was observed breaking the perimeter and cornered in a nearby yard. He
was taken into custody without incident.
Officers locate the second suspect, 31 year-old Billy J. Cochran at
Montgomery/Astor and he was also arrested without incident. The investigation
showed that Harris and Cochran cut a hole in a fence of the business and were in
the process of piling up wheels and car batteries when spotted by police.
Officers also recovered property that linked them to a 22nd burglary
at 200 E. Montgomery. Harris and Cochran were both booked into jail for
22nd degree burglary.

|HSV-1 Cgal+ infection promotes quaking RNA binding protein production and induces nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling of quaking I-5 isoform in human hepatoma cells.

|Herpesvirus type 1 (HSV-1) based oncolytic vectors arise as a promising therapeutic alternative for neoplastic diseases including hepatocellular carcinoma. However, the mechanisms mediating the host cell response to such treatments are not completely known. It is well established that HSV-1 infection induces functional and structural alterations in the nucleus of the host cell. In the present work, we have used gel-based and shotgun proteomic strategies to elucidate the signaling pathways impaired in the nucleus of human hepatoma cells (Huh7) upon HSV-1 Cgal(+) infection. Both approaches allowed the identification of differential proteins suggesting impairment of cell functions involved in many aspects of host-virus interaction such as transcription regulation, mRNA processing, and mRNA splicing. Based on our proteomic data and additional functional studies, cellular protein quaking content (QKI) increases 4 hours postinfection (hpi), when viral immediate-early genes such as ICP4 and ICP27 could be also detected. Depletion of QKI expression by small interfering RNA results in reduction of viral immediate-early protein levels, subsequent decrease in early and late viral protein content, and a reduction in the viral yield indicating that QKI directly interferes with viral replication. In particular, HSV-1 Cgal(+) induces a transient increase in quaking I-5 isoform (QKI-5) levels, in parallel with an enhancement of p27(Kip1) protein content. Moreover, immunofluorescence microscopy showed an early nuclear redistribution of QKI-5, shuttling from the nucleus to the cytosol and colocalizing with nectin-1 in cell to cell contact regions at 16-24 hpi. This evidence sheds new light on mechanisms mediating hepatoma cell response to HSV-1 vectors highlighting QKI as a central molecular mediator.

Georgia's Coley Elected NCC Chairman
Chuck Coley, a Vienna, Ga., producer/ginner, was elected National Cotton Council (NCC) chairman for 2012. Named during the NCC's annual meeting held in Fort Worth, Texas, last month, he served as the NCC's vice chairman in 2011 and succeeds Charles Parker, a Senath, Mo., cotton producer.
Coley was chairman of the Cotton Foundation in 2010-11 and served as that organization's president in 2009-10. He also served as chairman of the American Cotton Producers in 2008-09 and as a NCC director.
Coley has been active in national, regional and state associations. He is a current board member for Southern Cotton Growers Association. He served as the president of National Cotton Ginners Association (NCGA) in 1995-96 and was president of Southeastern Cotton Ginners Association in 1991-92. He received the NCGA's Horace Hayden National Cotton Ginner of the Year award in 1998.
Coley is the owner of CBC Farms, and his principal crops are cotton and peanuts. He is the president of Coley Gin and Fertilizer Company, a diversified agribusiness in Vienna with services including chemical, seed and fertilizer sales; peanut handling and warehousing; and cotton ginning, warehousing and marketing. In addition, he serves as a Bank of Dooly director and is a member of Chickasha of Georgia's executive committee.
A University of Georgia graduate with a bachelor's degree in agronomy and agricultural economics, Coley is active in his community and church. He currently serves as a deacon at First Baptist Church in Vienna. He and his wife, Deby, have a son and a daughter.
China, Economy, Weather May Affect U.S. Cotton In 2012
National Cotton Council economists say cotton's 2012 outlook will be influenced primarily by China's national reserves stocks, uncertainty over the general economy and serious weather developments in the southwestern United States.
Dr. Gary Adams, the NCC's vice president Economics & Policy Anal-ysis, told delegates at the NCC's 74th Annual Meeting in Fort Worth that 2012 is not starting out as a normal year for the U.S. Cotton Belt's southwest region, particularly Texas and Oklahoma. He says drought conditions still persist, and, as a result, for those two states, the outlook assumes above normal abandonment and yields going below projections.
Adams says the NCC sees a 2012 U.S. cotton crop of 18.30 million bales, with 17.51 million upland bales and 783,000 extra-long staple (ELS) bales. When combined with international 2012 production of 101.1 million bales, the world crop for 2012 is estimated at 119.4 million bales.
Regarding 2012 U.S. offtake, the NCC sees exports expanding to 12.9 million bales and mills consuming 3.5 million bales versus the current marketing year's 3.4 million bales.
Additional details of the 2012 Cotton Economic Outlook can be found at http://www.cotton.org/econ/reports/annualoutlook.cfm.
Webb Elected CCI President
James L. "Jimmy" Webb, a Leary, Ga., cotton producer, will serve as the 2012 president of Cotton Council International (CCI). CCI is the National Cotton Council's (NCC) export promotions arm and carries out programs in more than 50 countries around the world under the COTTON USA trademark.
Webb, who moves up from CCI first vice president, succeeds John D. Mitchell, a Titus, Ala., merchant who becomes CCI board chairman.
Webb began working for his uncle, Bob McLendon, on the farm in 1980 after his father passed away and made his first crop in 1986 after returning from the University of Georgia with a B.S. in agriculture.
He worked beside his uncle until 1994 when he farmed for the first time on his own. Webb serves on the Edison Gin Co-op board.
He has been active in the NCC, and among his current positions are chairman of its Conservation Task Force and member of its Environmental Task Force and Vision 21 Stakeholder Committees. He also participated in the NCC's Cotton Leadership and Producer Information Exchange programs. He has been active in the Georgia Cotton Commission, Cotton Incorporated and the Southern Cotton Growers Association.
Sharp To Lead ACP
Clyde Sharp, a Roll, Ariz., cotton producer, was elected as chairman of the American Cotton Producers (ACP) of the National Cotton Council for 2012. He replaces James F. "Jimmy" Dodson, a Robstown, Texas, producer who will serve as the NCC's vice chairman in 2012.
Sharp, who has served on and chaired various ACP and NCC committees, is a past president of The Cotton Foundation and Cotton Council International, the NCC's export promotion arm.
Gillen Receives Baker Award
Neal Gillen, the former executive vice president and general counsel of the American Cotton Shippers Association (ACSA), is the recipient of the 2011 Harry S. Baker Distinguished Service Award.
The award, named for the late California industry leader and past NCC President Harry S. Baker, is presented annually to a deserving individual who has provided extraordinary service, leadership and dedication to the U.S. cotton industry.
Gillen represented ACSA and its federated associations from 1966 until 2010 as the director of its Washington office, as vice president and general counsel and as executive vice president and general counsel.
The longest serving member of the Agricultural Advisory Committee of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Gillen was appointed by the Departments of State and Agriculture to serve as the first U.S. representative to the private sector of the International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC). He currently is the ICAC's permanent representative to the United Nations' Committee on International Trade Law.
Creelman Named Top Ginner
Stan Creelman, a Tulare, Calif., ginner, was named the 2011 Horace Hayden National Cotton Ginner of the Year. That award is presented annually to a ginner in recognition of: 1) able, efficient and faithful service to the ginning industry and 2) continuing of those principles exemplified and practiced by Horace Hayden, a former NCGA executive secretary.
A leader in the California ginning industry, Creelman has served as the California Cotton Ginners Associ-ation's chairman and was its California Cotton Ginner of the Year in 2001. He also serves on the NCGA's Board of Directors.
Creelman has served as a National Cotton Council delegate and has been a NCC board member several times. He has been a longtime member of the important Joint Cotton Industry Bale Packaging Committee and currently serves as that Committee's chairman.
Tiller Elected NCGA President
The Memphis-based National Cotton Ginners Association (NCGA) elected its 2012 officers.
Lee Tiller, who moves up from NCGA first vice president, is the new president. He is manager of the Smith Gin Co-op and has served on and chaired numerous NCGA committees. He participated in the National Cotton Council's Cotton Leadership Program and currently is a NCC director and member of multiple NCC panels, among them the Vision 21 Stakeholder Steering Committee. He also has served on and chaired the Joint Cotton Industry Bale Packaging Committee.
Also recognized at the NCGA's annual meeting was Joe Thomas, vice president, Technology for Lummus Corporation. He received NCGA's Distinguished Service Award – an honor reserved for those individuals who have provided a career of distinguished service to the entire U.S. ginning industry.
Achievement Award Honors North Carolinian Billy Carter
The late W.L. "Billy" Carter, Jr., who served as the North Carolina Cotton Producers Association's executive vice president and was a former American Cotton Producers chairman, is the recipient of the 2011 Oscar Johnston Lifetime Achievement Award. His widow, Beverly, and her daughter, Beth Burchell, accepted the honor.
The annual award, established in 1997, is named for Oscar Johnston, whose vision, genius and tireless efforts were foremost in the organization and shaping of the NCC.
Carter was born and raised in a farming family. From an early age he developed a strong work ethic and love of the land. He and his wife, Beverly, owned and operated Carter Farms, in Scotland Neck, N.C., for more than 30 years. At the time of his death, he was serving as a deacon of First Baptist Church of Scotland Neck and was chairman of its finance committee.

A walk through this cemetery is a walk through the history of Clinton, war, yellow fever epidemics, the Civil War and early hard times. The unmarked graves of Civil War soldiers are on the Western edge of the burial ground.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Newsgal90210 Cute sandals These sandals are lovely and I love the metallic but my toes almost slip off each side. My feet are a little larger than narrow but I still felt like I was slipping out of the sandals on the sides. I really like the look; just wish they were a little wider. March 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ElleS Great Summer Sandal I was a little worried about ordering these after seeing a few reviews but they work great for me. Very nice looking summer sandal - great with shorts, a skirt or ankle pants. March 10, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by DallasToryLover Love but too roomy! I couldn 't wait to get these in the mail. (I had seen them in a boutique but they didn't have my size.) The size 9 fits perfect in the length---and I always wear a 9 in Tory shoes---but my foot slips around a lot because there's too much room from the sole to the top of the leather. (The leather is loose around my foot.) Trying to figure out a solution instead of sending them back! January 9, 2014
