abortBroadcast() is used for disabling system notification for new SMS messages, but is there anyway to do it for new MMS messages? I've tried using
abortBroadcast() but it doesn't seem to work. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Edit: I have tried using the following codes so that my application will catches the intent first, but it prevents the MMS message from entering my inbox.
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
<receiver android:name=".MMSReceiver" android:enabled="true">
<intent-filter android:priority="100">
<action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.WAP_PUSH_RECEIVED" />
<data android:mimeType="application/vnd.wap.mms-message" />
To be more specific, is there any way to detect system notifications for new MMS messages and suppress them programmatically?

THE MISSION of Clarksburg Uptown is to promote, in every way possible, the economic and social potential and growth of downtown Clarksburg and the Glen Elk section of Clarksburg, West Virginia.
. . . . . . . . . .
Clarksburg Hosts Kings of the Keyboard
"The Piano Men" is the theme of Clarksburg's 2015 Summer Jazz Stroll scheduled for Friday, June 19, according to Clarksburg Uptown (CU), the event organizers.
Among the score of jazz artists performing from 6:30pm to 12:00am in five different venues are five headliner keyboard artists, including Washington, DC's Robert Redd, New York City's Alon Nechushtan, Charleston, West Virginia's Bob Thompson, Richmond, Virginia's Lee Covington, and Bridgeport's Davin Seamon.
"0ur intent is to offer a wide choice in style and genre of jazz," said Mike Lambiotte, CU's Communications Director. "From piano to electric keyboard to funky organ, music fans will be able to hear it all at the Summer Jazz Stroll."
Playing one hour sets at 6:30pm, 8:00pm and 9:30pm are Seamon in Kelly's Pub, Redd in Starving Artist Studio, and Thompson in Fifth Floor Lounge.
Playing one hour sets beginning at 8:00pm, 9:30pm and 11:00pm are Covington in Main St. Café, and Nechushtan in Washington Square.
"We've staggered the starting times so visitors can access as many as four complete shows if they want to," explained Lambiotte. "Plus, in some venues, they are having student bands play earlier sets, so there is going to be more than one person can do in one evening."
Washington Square is hosting one of the student groups, the Eric Cappellini Quintet, at 6:30pm to begin the Stroll festivities.
The Jazz Stroll events are part of a strategy to develop uptown Clarksburg and the surrounding region into a national destination for tourists, especially jazz music fans, who will spend multiple days and nights in central West Virginia enjoying the various regional attractions during the day, and live jazz music in the evenings.
The jazz energy has percolated from Clarksburg into surrounding communities as Shinnston will see Randall Hall Presents Summer Jazz in the Park on Thursday, June 18, from 7:00pm to 9:00pm, while Bridgeport will see a performance on Saturday, June 20, by the Alon Nechushtan Quartet at Maplewood Emeritus Senior Living at 4:00pm. Also on Saturday in Weston, Stroll headliner, Lee Covington, will perform at Kathy's Riverside Restaurant at 8:00pm,
To offset some of the significant investment Clarksburg Uptown, Inc. makes in presenting two Strolls a year, there is a one-time charge of $5 for a paper bracelet that provides access to all Stroll venues on June 19.
For more information on the Summer Jazz Stroll or Clarksburg Uptown, Inc., contact Lambiotte at 304-677-8612 or email@example.com. For more information on the Shinnston, Bridgeport or Weston shows, email to firstname.lastname@example.com, or 304-269-3683

ACC seeing its share of 1-sided games so far - 0 Comments
In the Atlantic Coast Conference, 'tis the season for blowouts.
Close games need not apply in the ACC so far this year, and down-to-the-wire matchups have been true rarities. Conference teams have combined to play 56 games, and of those, only 12 were decided by less than 10 points.
Florida State hasn't played a game decided by fewer than 14 points. Maryland's four wins came by an average of 28 points, and its one loss was by a whopping 63. Clemson's only nail-biter was in the season-opener against Georgia.

The unfolding story of the Obama administration monitoring not just telephone records but Internet usage has drawn media coverage with adjectives like "astonishing."

Before President Barack Obama took a question on intelligence surveillance and stepped on his message in an odd and hastily put-together event in San Jose on Friday, the president made a few scheduled remarks about California's implementation of his Affordable Care Act.

Ruth Asawa's "San Francisco Fountain" owes Apple big time.

Israel Leal, Associated Press
MERIDA, Mexico — Ceremonial fires burned and conches sounded off as dawn broke over the steps of the main pyramid at the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza Friday, making what many believe is the conclusion of a vast, 5,125-year cycle in the Mayan calendar.
Some have interpreted the prophetic moment as the end of the world. The hundreds gathered in the ancient Mayan city, however, said they believed it marked the birth of a new and better age.
Genaro Hernandez stood with his arms outstretched to the morning light, all clad in white, facing the pyramids' grey stone, to welcome the new era.
"This world is being reborn as a better world," said Hernandez, a 55-year old accountant who wore an expression of bliss.
No one was quite sure at what time the Mayas' 13th Baktun would officially end on this Dec. 21. Some think it already ended at midnight. Others looked to Friday's dawn here in the Maya heartland. Some had later times in mind. One thing became clear to many on the site by Friday morning: The world had not ended.
Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History even suggested that historical calculations to synchronize the Mayan and Western calendars might be off a few days. It said the Mayan Long Count calendar cycle might not really end until Sunday.
Whatever the details, the chance to mark epochal change seemed to be the main concern among celebrants drawn to the Yucatan peninsula.
Hundreds of people were scattered around the vast central plaza of Chichen Itza, some kneeling in attitudes of prayer, some seated with arms outstretched in positions of meditation, all facing El Castillo, the massive main pyramid.
Ivan Gutierrez, a 37-year-old artist who lives in the nearby village, stood before the pyramid and blew a low, sonorous blast on a conch horn. "It has already arrived, we are already in it," he said of the new era. "We are in a frequency of love, we are in a new vibration."
But it was unclear how long the love would last: A security guard quickly came over and asked him to stop blowing his conch shell, enforcing the ruin site's ban on holding ceremonies without previous permits.
What nobody was calling the moment was the end of the world, as some people in recent years have interpreted the meaning of the end of the 13th Baktun — despite the insistence of archeologists and the Maya themselves it meant no such thing.
"We'll still have to pay taxes next year," said Gabriel Romero, a Los Angeles-based spiritualist who uses crystal skulls in his ceremonies.
If the chanting and dancing of a crystal skull ceremony held Thursday weren't enough to end fears of an apocalypse, scientists chimed in, too.
Bill Leith, the U.S. Geological Survey's senior science adviser for earthquake and geologic hazards, said that by late Thursday, absolutely nothing out of the ordinary had been detected in seismic activities, solar flares, volcanos or the Earth's geomagnetic field.
"It's a fairly unremarkable day on planet Earth today, and in the last few days," Leith said. "There are no major eruptions going on."
There had been about 120 small earthquakes and a moderate temblor in Japan, he said. "That's very much a normal day."
Still, there were some who wouldn't truly feel safe until the sun sets Friday over the pyramids in Yucatan peninsula, the heartland of the Maya.
Mexico's best-known seer, Antonio Vazquez Alba, known as "El Brujo Mayor," said he had received emails containing rumors that a mass suicide might be planned in Argentina.
He said he was sure that human nature represented the only threat Friday. "Nature isn't going to do us any harm, but we can do damage to ourselves," he said.
Authorities worried about overcrowding and possible stampedes during celebrations Friday at Mayan ruin sites like Chichen Itza and Uxmal, both about 1 1/2 hours from Merida, the Yucatan state capital. Special police and guard details were assigned to the pyramids.
As Friday's dawn began sweeping around the globe, there was no sign of an apocalypse.
Indeed, the social network Imgur posted photos of clocks turning midnight in the Asia-Pacific region with messages such as: "The world has not ended. Sincerely, New Zealand."
Average residents of the Yucatan, where the Mayas invented the 394-year calendar cycles known as baktuns, the 13th of which ends Friday, were pretty upbeat about the day.
Yucatan Gov. Rolando Zapata said he felt growing good vibes.
"We believe that the beginning of a new baktun means the beginning of a new era, and we're receiving it with great optimism," Zapata said.
Even before the baktun's end, hundreds of spiritualists from Asian, North American, South American and European shamanistic traditions mingled amiably with the Mexican hosts at a convention center in Merida on Thursday.
Dozens of booths offered people the chance to have their auras photographed with "Chi" light, get a shamanic cleansing or buy sandals, herbs and whole-grain baked goods.
"This is the beginning of a change in priorities and perceptions. We are all one," said Esther Romo, a Mexico City businesswoman who works in art promotion and galleries. "No limits, no boundaries, no nationalities, just fusion."

Myth Buster: Drinking Alcohol Results in Liver Cirrhosis
We have heard that alcohol is directly related to liver cirrhosis, but is it true? Does this mean that a person who has never touched alcohol will not develop liver cirrhosis? We get you the facts and bust some myths as we ask Dr. (Col.) M. Bhagat, Senior Consultant in gastroenterology with Sri Balaji Action Medical Institute, to explain the links between alcoholism and liver cirrhosis.
First, what is liver cirrhosis?
Scarring of the tissue and poor functioning is the effect of liver cirrhosis. Weight loss, vomiting, yellow skin, weakness, bleeding gums are some of its symptoms. Once detected, liver cirrhosis can't be reversed, but it can be controlled before it proceeds to damage the liver further.
Coming to the main question, is this a repercussion of alcoholism? Dr. Bhagat answers: "No, patients suffering from various other disorders can also get cirrhosis." People with Hepatitis B and C and those who have fatty liver disease can also develop liver cirrhosis, irrespective of their relationship with alcohol.
He goes on to explain: "People who are obese, diabetic, alcoholic, have metabolic disorders, have suffered from chronic viral hepatitis and congenital liver disorders are at a greater risk of getting liver cirrhosis."
Why are alcoholics prone to liver cirrhosis? "Alcohol is a direct hepatotoxic agent affecting metabolites and causing fatty liver, portal vein thrombosis and malnutrition. Alcoholics are also prone to chronic viral infections like Hepatitis B, C and HIV through behavioral traits."
The bottomline is liver cirrhosis affects those with metabolic disorders. If you indulge in extreme alcohol consumption, you will be at risk of damaging your liver. Similarly, if you are very overweight, diabetic, or have other disorders, you will still be at risk of liver cirrhosis - whether you drink alcohol or not.
