b, somebody has to write a negative comment for that negative comment to appear.obody suggests they are fraudulent, so we still have to manage our business one customer at a time, right? >> indeed. to nick's point of responding people, but if you have a bunch of negative comments on your site, yelp or another review site, and you know there are customers who like you out there, what can you do? a lot of these review sites will filter out someone that's a new reviewer. they think it might be fake. >> something that sounds counterintuitive, but a friend of mine runs a restaurant company out in boston, and he will -- part of their strategy is always tell the truth. they will actually retweet or they will republish negative things that were said about them. they'll put it back out there with an apology, so they'll engage and say we're totally willing to take the feedback, i think is the message. that's one creative way to deal with something that's ultimately unfair. >> it's interesting, but you still, jon, want to have someone come to yelp or whatever site it is and

this is negative and positive. the green line is negative., that number is something like 46% are negative. but then look at the people earning less than 30,000 did. these are the folks you would think would support the program stand the most it benefit. take a look. they're at 33%. 35%. about even negative-positive. and then go up one income bracket and it's very negative again. either they disagree with the plan or they don't know about the plan. or they think that it's something that's not going it help them even though the administration would argue this is the thing that -- these are the folk that should be helped the most by the affordable care act. i don't know if we have the positive or negative stuff. is that the last one we have, guys? what i can tell you is that overall, we find that people generally disagree with defunding obamacare. but they want -- they appear to want to give it a hot, broshot,. >> they do. there's a lot of questions still surrounding this. let's bring this now small business owners. joining us from half moon ou

that's why i'm negative on the stock. >> all right.obviously since then. >> well i was obviously wrong but i think the revenue royalty story is unchanged. in the smartphone market revenue royalties will go from 19% to single digits over the next several years. longer term i have a problem with the model. shorter term i think i was debating john on this so kudos to john on the call. >> all right. doc? >> well, i mean, i don't blame stef for the view she had as far as the longer term and the revenue rates coming down there. but for a shorter term trade i did like it. i still do. because that 64 bit that we talked about and those new chips, that's also going over into the ipads, the new generation of the ipads they come out with. that will be great for qualcomm as well. >> where are you on qualcomm? >> i'm long. briefly -- >> eternally long or what? >> briefly i agree stephan stephanie. i told it poorly and came to my senses. i'm low on the stock. not the core position that it was but i think they're picking up more share. >> when you ask

that the project negatively affects views of the mid-block open space. and that the project would negatively affect the ability to have a garden or landscaping in the rear yard. mr. zucker's concerns include the following. that the project sets a precedent for futurer development in terms of building depth, that the project in conjunction with the existing nonconforming garage structure negatively affects light and air and air to his property and that the project will cast shadows on his property. the residential design team reviewed the project following the submittal of the d-r request and made the following comments. the rdt found the proposed horizontal addition to be appropriately setback from both side property lines to reduce any negative effects to adjacent properties. the massing of the addition to be appropriately stepped down to reduce any negative effects to the mid-block open space. the rdt noted that the project does not propose any changes to the shared driveway width. the rdt concluded that the project does not contain nor create any exce

we don't have to be negative and violent to be assertive.and with our own voice in our own space. it's a little different when we talk about mexican american young ladies. we have a traditional way of looking at things. i think that's where the collective came from. my mom still doesn't like the name. she's saying why are you pushing that out. you know, it isn't about boys but being able to stand for yourself, define yourself, declare proudly you're here and going to move forward. >> you can be a positive, not negative. one thing the nonprofit is pushing is for there to be gender specific programs. those programs need to be funded. talk pout that significance and how that might help your work. >> first of all there's also almost a confusion around that request. you know, sometimes we think in order for these issues to get that funding we have to shift the funding there. there needs to be more money invested in resources throughout. >> don't take away from one to give money for other. >> what's working is working but there's a gap. lets put m

that's not negative growth. but i think earnings are going to be disappointing in the third quarter. i think they're going to be more disappointments than not. >> do you think the market is prepared for that? is that priced in already or is this going to be a negative surprise? >> market has performed all well through this year. i think it's vuler? able to a negative surprise. >> so, it sounds like you want to be taking some money off the table here. >> you read me right. >> yeah. tell us more. >> well, you know, right now you had investors very complacent during the summer. and now with -- and they were worried about three things. they were worried about a missile attack in syria, they were worried about larry summers becoming fed chairman and they were worried about the debt ceiling. now two of those three things are off the table. so, now they're only worried about the debt ceiling. and they're feeling pretty euphoric about things. whenever investors are feeling euphoric, they're vulnerable to a negative surp

the problem now is we're endorsing artists who is negative, who doesn't project anything positive tohe product. >> but if they are a good artist and making money, and making money for the record companies, do they have the responsibility to do the right thing? they are still going to sell their music, don't they? >> yeah. but it's about that responsibility. our generation made records about being a drug dealer. we told our story, but at the end of that record, we said, but y'all, you younger guys, you know, the younger people, y'all don't have to do this. nowadays in america, the guy tells his story about being a drug dealer like it's good. >> right. >> and then america celebrates it just because he is make money. we created hip hop so we didn't have to have more drug dealers and gang bangers. we created hip hop so that the younger generation that would listen to an mc or rapper, wouldn't think it's cool to name his self after scar face the movie or to name himself after the gangsteres. when we created this positive music, we told the stories but also gave positive alternatives. i wa

this is the print of marla gerhardt made from the negative.e same negative, unretouched. you see the difference? you see marla's blemishes. and you see the two bruises just under the shoulder from your knees when you sat on her and suffocated her. but gerhardt's photo-- none of those marks. you know, skin is pure. it's glowing. and around her is this halo effect. and that's why you knew something was wrong. you're missing the point. you're a cop. what do you know about art? nothing. i know nothing. i just know gerhardt. he used his skills in the darkroom to... reconnect with humanity. show us that marla was beautiful and special. he turned her into an angel. you know, it makes us mourn her loss. you know, i guess gerhardt just loved women. and that's what we see when we look at these photos. his love. he obliterated your artistic intent. he obliterated you. that bastard! that wasn't the deal we made! it was my concept! that's right, and you worked so hard. you had to find the girls. yes, and then in preparing-- spencer! all he had to do was pu

a mitigated negative declaration which the commission approved in [speaker not understood] of 2012. although the commission approved this m. m.d. already, the lowest bid that we need to approve it at each phase of the project ~. there is only one mitigation measure left which we have to complete, which is to complete the back survey prior to removal of some of the trees. we have a biologist under contract, and this will be completed towards the end of this month and prior to proceeding on the work. this project is anticipated to go into construction in late september and complete by the summer of 2014. the contract duration is approximately 270 days. the department will host the groundbreaking ceremony as the construction nears and all the commissioners will be invited. this particular contract does not include the synthetic turf material. we are bidding this material separately under a separate contract. the turf work will be completed at the same time as the site improvements. the reason we have bid this separately is we are currently refining our specifications for this project a

target also had negative -- at least negative traffic in the second quarter. but i think there's some company-specific issues at walmart as well that are contributing to that. >> very quickly, in that space of discounters, the dollar stores, walmart, target and others, which one do you like best? >> well, i've been big on the dollar stores. five recommendations on all three. my top pick within that space has been dollar tree and i've been big on the off price apparel space, as well, recommending tjx for some time now. ross stores, which is the number two off price apparel retailer and i think the numbers in both of those subsectors of retail will continue to look pretty good. right on through the holidays. >> okay. any disclosures to make, patrick? do you own any of those stocks, your firm? >> no disclosure, susie. >> okay. thanks so much for coming on the program. patrick mckiefer equity analyst at mkm partners. >>> weighing on the market, it's no wonder stocks did fall today. the s&p 500 notched its first five-day losing streak of the year and the dow its lo

of the if i requests that were appealed the main issue was that the managers negative get feeling was it couldn't be done without analyzing it but after analyzing it they were granted. so basically this encourages employees to put forward their own flexible arrangements and more often than not their accepted. none of this happiness without education. as president chiu mentioned there's a stigma attached to making this request and the law has some discrimination issues making it well known that employees and employers know it's beginning to change the mindset really of the way the workforce needs to be. so with this kind of statute and with the proper education it will be putting itself again on the map to be entering the 21st century with its eyes wide open >> we have our city economist and thank ted for the work he's done on the measure and some proposed issues he's made to our office. good afternoon teddy. our office issued an impact report in july and i'm happy to take any questions you have without it was presented to the rules committee at that time. i have a couple of brief rema

returns, negative absolute returns in fixed incomes. when you look at it on a real basis, even worst. keep moving money toward can he recollect the equities. we like the u.s. we like technology. we like financials. we like energy. >> a couple of interesting findings of high net worth business owners. they say business owners are more fulfill bid their work than those who work fror others. any big surprises? >> there's a difference between that reaction by the younger business owner thinking they can have a positive impact versus the baby boomer. when the baby boomer started their business, it was no safety net. there probably wasn't a lot of money. their primary focus was how do i feed my family and make sure this business doesn't fail. the gen x and y are coming from a safety net and a little more wealthier background. >> what about obama care? we'll see it go live next week. is that having an impact on small business? a lot of people talk about the health care legislation as being an issue. many in your survey cited concern over taxes

the nikkei is marginally in the negative. so, however, in the u.s. of course, fundamental factors really did play into the positive close for the dow. on thursday in the u.s. could be a little bit more upbeat than a lot of analysts were expecting with the americans number of americans filing for unemployment benefits unexpectedly falling. some see possible resolutions to the u.s. government debt ceiling issue as well as political issues over syria, so we'll keep track of those as well. abe is seeking an additional stimulus package in order also to support the sales tax hike that is also being planned and another focus is going to be the auto sector there. analysts expecting u.s. auto sales to decline. we'll keep track of auto sector shares and related shares as well. of course, chip related shares have been in focus this week with tokyo electron and add van test hitting the headlines about mergers and earnings forecasts, so that needs to be looked at as well. >> and currency markets remain a focus for tokyo investors. where do we stand for this frida

to try to strive for progress and sure there's going to be negative things that happen and there are going to be positive things that happen but i think that the gamble. taken in life in something that natural and something that's gone back to when we were. medic even if it's something that's continuing in all parts of life in all time mary the impression is whether you are seeking to gamble with your own life or get somebody else's life that's quite a big difference it is different but i think that you were just asking me about albert einstein progression science and the nuclear bombs that were after developed by other people for harm his intentions were positive and i think that that that's i think i'm a little confused here and i think later in life came to regret that decision to join. them. on a final note. i think you are. probably probably a relatively rare example all american of women your age because the majority of americans don't travel that much around and while they're being less than twenty percent of them have traveled internationally so they know very little about th

american or the whole aboard or smile and it may be a compliment but it also sometimes gets on a negative meaning because people perceive that as something artificial. person trying to hide behind a smile and being fully transparent or revealing his emotions to you i don't agree with that because i think that there are days when i'll be smiling and then you know i fall trip hit my head and then i'll be crying i think that emotions are what everybody has and i try to be positive in everything that i do and part of being positive is something that will make people smile so i do smile probably more than i smile but. i thought it kind of is just what helps me get through the day but i think it's also very. characteristic to american women and there are actually many studies on academic studies on the subject. when it comes to distinguishing a fake smile from a real smile it turns out that american women aged between twenty and forty of the best fake smiles thirty percent of them would consistently recognize a fake smile compared to just eight percent of british men when i was thinking about.

>> well, it can be bad whenever it has the potential to hurt someone or reflect negatively on you.eone's feelings by posting something that is inappropriate about them, but it could also be something that just reflects poorly on you that you don't want out there. >> what is "t.m.i." to put out there on a profile? >> "t.m.i." is too much information. and as we talk about the internet is a very public place, and oftentimes it's not appropriate to put information up there that's just too private or too personal. the biggest mistake that i hear about people making in social media or online is over-sharing and the temptation can be great and the consequences can be serious. >> why is it so difficult to take back something you tweet or post? >> you know, you can't always just take something down. and even if you can, you can't always take back the impression that it's created for someone. but you know, even if you are able to take down a certain facebook post, someone else may have already seen it. they may have captured it. even if you use a service like snapchat that promises a certain

some believed businesses can pay to prevent negative reviews from appearing. we contacted yelp which denied that saying, "there is no amount of money a business can pay to manipulate reviews."however, a business may contact a reviewer and subsequently, a review may be removed by the person who wrote it. paula deen's extortionist is sentenced to two years in prison. thomas george paculis threatened to release what he called "true and damning" information about deen unless he received 200-thousand dollars. he cut a plea deal with prosecutors. deen has been struggling to reboot her career since she admitted to using a racial slur. the celebrity chef has reportedly lost an estimated $12 million in canceled t-v, endoresement and book deals. habitat for humanity is urging americans to go green with their old jeans. a new initiative recycles blue jeans and converts them into an insulation method for new homes. hayden panettiere, a spokesperson for the campaign, explains the cause.

the return from bonds has been negative. i think that's an on going process. i think we still have further to go in the current sicycle. if we have further to go in the current cycle in 2013 and 2014 the return of owning stocks will be significantly higher than owning any fixed income s securities, whether long term or short term and to put numbers on it, i think the returns will be closer to 9.5% on the stock market and down as low as 2.5% from the fixed income market. so people should not back away from the equity markets, that's where the returns will be the best. >> where are you putting your money? stocks would you buy right now, hough? >> bull market sectors primarily. first of all, consumer at the list, financials, industrial and healthcare. those look good on evaluation but also have been performing well. so we've been buying companies like in the consumer area, johnson controls in the healthcare area company like my land, industrials and first republican bank which is a financial company, a bank company. so those are the kinds of things we're buying a

you don't see it quite as negatively. >> there is a negative aspect to it. if all you're doing is staring at a screen and not interacting in the real world, and that's as simple and getting a coffee and talking to a person next to you in line, there's a lot of cues that you miss from other people and a lot of people that miss your cues, you might be depressed. there might be signs of potential violence that you don't see in front of a screen. there is a tremendous advantage to having a network and being able to utilize it for whatever reason, whether personal work, famous psychiatrist once said we covet what we know. we will go to the people we trust and ask for advice on who we should talk to, who have series to see, what job we should take. we do find people through they got works. we are a very -- we like to talk to people. we like to brag when something good happens to us and not to them, and when something bad happens to us, we like to complain and make everyone around us miserable. we do that very well. when we're at a concert, we're taking a picture a

you don't see it quite as negatively? >> there is a negative aspect to it, quite obviously, if you are only looking at a screen all day and not getting out in the real world of course. if you are staring at a screen all day there are a lot of cues that you miss and a lot of people miss your cues you might be depressed, there might be signs of potential violence. that being said, there is a tremendous advantage to having a network. and to being able to utilize that network for whatever reason whether it's personal work hey i just got into a relationship i'm looking to meet new people can you introduce me to them. a famous psychiatrist once said we covet what we know. it's true. we'll go to the people we trust and ask them what movies we circulate see what jobs we should take. and we do find those people through networks. the doctor said it very well, we like to talk to people and we like to do two things we like to brag when something good lapse to us and not to them. and when something bad happens we like to make everybod
