New evidence revealing the full context of Hillary Clinton's comment about the "truly well off" suggests that she was not trying to contrast herself from the ranks of the wealthy, as many in the media previously suggested.
On June 21, The Guardian reported pieces of an interview they had conducted with Clinton during the roll-out of her new memoir, Hard Choices:
America's glaring income inequality is certain to be a central bone of contention in the 2016 presidential election. But with her huge personal wealth, how could Clinton possibly hope to be credible on this issue when people see her as part of the problem, not its solution?
"But they don't see me as part of the problem," she protests, "because we pay ordinary income tax, unlike a lot of people who are truly well off, not to name names; and we've done it through dint of hard work," she says, letting off another burst of laughter.
Numerous media outlets jumped on Clinton's comments, suggesting that in her statement "unlike a lot of people who are truly well off" Clinton was saying that she and President Clinton are not "truly well off." At times, media outlets even altered the quote to fit that impression, falsely reporting that Clinton had said they were "not truly well off." For example:
ABC News: Hillary Clinton Stumbles From 'Dead Broke' to 'Not Truly Well Off'
Business Insider: Hillary Clinton Says She Isn't 'Truly Well Off'
Washington Post: Hillary Clinton says she's unlike the 'truly well off'
CBS News: Hillary Clinton: Bill and I are not like the "truly well off"
USA Today: Hillary Clinton: Her family is not like the 'truly well off'
Fox News: Clinton: I'm not 'truly well off'
As Media Matters' Eric Boehlert noted at the time, while Clinton's comments were somewhat unclear, "at least as good an interpretation of the quote is that Clinton included herself and her husband among the 'truly well off,' but was saying that unlike many of them, they pay ordinary income tax."
Indeed, the full transcript of Clinton's response supports this interpretation. Clinton immediately followed up the comment by noting, "We know how blessed we are." She went on to explain that the Clintons did not grow up rich and that her goal is to "create a level playing field" to ensure opportunity for all. Here's the transcript, posted by The Hill on June 26 (emphasis added):
QUESTION: Domestically, as you mentioned towards the end of the book, one of the key issues is inequality.
CLINTON: Yes.
QUESTION: Presumably whoever runs in 2016 will be talking a lot about that. It's come up already, but I did want to - it's such a polar - another polarized issue. Can you be the right person, were you to decide to run, to raise an issue like that when - with your own huge personal wealth, which is something that people have already started sniping about? Is it possible to talk about that subject --
CLINTON: Absolutely.
QUESTION: -- when people perceive you as part of the problem, not the solution?
CLINTON: But they don't see me as part of the problem because we pay ordinary income tax, unlike a lot of people who are truly well off, not to name names, and we have done it through dint of hard work. We know how blessed we are. We were neither of us raised with these kinds of opportunities, and we worked really hard for them. But all one has to do is look at my record going back to my time in college and law school to know not only where my heart is, but where my efforts have been. I want to create a level playing field so that once again, you can look a child in the eye and you can tell them the truth, whether they're born in a wealthy suburb or an inner city or a poor country community; you can point out the realistic possibility that they will have a better life. But here's what they must do: It's that wonderful combination of individual effort, but social support, mobility and opportunity on the other side of the equation. So I'm willing to have that debate with anybody.
NBC and ABC's Sunday news shows turned to discredited architects of the Iraq War to opine on the appropriate U.S. response to growing violence in Iraq, without acknowledging their history of deceit and faulty predictions.
This week a Sunni Iraqi militant group (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS) seized control of several Iraqi cities and is focusing their sights on taking control of Baghdad and the rest of the country. The United States is still debating a response to the escalating violence, and has reportedly moved an aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf.
To discuss the growing unrest and potential threat of terrorism that could emerge, NBC's Meet The Press turned to Paul Wolfowitz, the former Deputy Secretary of Defense under the Bush administration.
Wolfowitz, who served in the Bush administration from 2001 -- 2005 as Deputy Secretary of Defense, is universally recognized as one of the original architects of the Iraq invasion. He infamously predicted the war reconstruction effort could pay for itself from Iraqi oil revenue (for reference, the cost of the Iraq War is now estimated to be more than $2 trillion), and publicly accused Saddam Hussein of possessing weapons of mass destruction long after the intelligence community informed the Pentagon that he did not. Later, Wolfowitz claimed that the conflict was primarily about liberating the Iraqi people rather than confronting the WMD threat, while also making the assertion -- without evidence -- that without the invasion, "we would have had a growing development of Saddam's support for terrorism."
Ten years after the start of the war, Wolfowitz admitted that the Bush administration bungled the conflict and should never have taken control of the country away from Iraqi leadership, despite having been the first senior Bush official after September 11, 2001 to call for Hussein's overthrow.
And on June 15 from his NBC platform, Wolfowitz opined that the current Iraqi violence could be traced to the absence of U.S. troops, suggesting that we should have stayed in Iraq just as we "stuck with South Korea for 60 years." When Meet The Press host David Gregory asked the former Bush official for advice on how to mitigate the potential terrorist threat merging from ISIS, saying "what do you do then, as a policy matter, to stop this," Wolfowitz responded that the Obama administration must convince the Middle East that the U.S. "is serious," arguing, "I would do something in Syria."
That same day ABC's This Week invited network contributor and Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol to discuss how the U.S. should handle the growing violence in Iraq, a notable decision given Kristol's poor record on Iraq War predictions.
Hosts of the network Sunday news shows treated Benghazi myths and facts with false equivalence, an approach that hides the truth about the tragedy.
The right-wing's manufactured hysteria over the release of new White House memos and the House GOP's announcement that it would form a special select committee brought the September 11, 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya back into the spotlight on the May 4 Sunday news talk shows. The latest charge from conservative media is that a newly-released email from Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes preparing then-UN Ambassador Susan Rice for the September 16, 2012 Sunday talk shows -- where she suggested that the terror attacks had grown out of spontaneous protests -- was part of a deliberate effort to deceive the American people about the cause of the attacks.
In a seeming effort to provide false balance between the facts and the myths, the network news hosts lent credence to evidence-free claims by their guests, giving them equal weight with the truth.
From the May 1 edition of ABC's ABC World News:

Mainstream media outlets attempted to cast doubt on White House press secretary Jay Carney's explanation that a memo advising Susan Rice on her TV appearances referred to global protests as opposed to the September 11 attack specifically. However Sunday news coverage from Rice's press tour demonstrates that discussions of Benghazi did include broader context of anti-American protests in the region, as Carney had asserted.
From the April 30 edition of ABC's ABC World News:
Loading the player reg...
ABC's Jonathan Karl, who was previously burned when he pushed falsehoods about CIA talking points generated in the wake of the 2012 Benghazi attacks, is now adopting the conservative distortion of a separate set of talking points authored by the White House for media appearances by then U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice.
On September 16, 2012, Rice appeared on the Sunday political talk shows and suggested that the Benghazi terror attacks had grown out of spontaneous protests like those that were occurring worldwide in response to an anti-Muslim video. Conservatives have claimed that Rice's comments on the Sunday shows were part of a deliberate effort to deceive the American people about the cause of the terror attacks, to bolster President Obama's re-election campaign. This effort has often involved distorting the CIA-approved talking points that Rice used to prepare for the interviews.
Karl came under fire in May 2013 after reporting that the network had "reviewed" emails from administration officials regarding the creation and editing of those CIA-generated talking points. While nothing Karl reported undermined assertions from the CIA that the intelligence community had approved those talking points, Karl suggested that the emails bolstered the conservative critique of the administration's response.
In fact, Karl had never seen the emails in question -- his story was based on "summaries" of the emails and "detailed notes" from a source who, it turned out, had misrepresented what the documents actually said. After media observers slammed Karl's "sloppy" reporting, ABC News issued a statement saying that the network "should have been more precise in its sourcing of those quotes, attributing them to handwritten copies of the emails taken by a Congressional source. We regret that error." Karl himself apologized in a statement to CNN.
Now Karl is returning to the subject of talking points used to prepare Rice for those September 16, 2012, interviews, seizing on a separate email authored by Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes that was released yesterday. The email details "Goals" and "Top-lines" for Rice's interviews and provides sample questions and answers.
Conservatives have fixated on one of Rhodes' recommendations for the interviews, detailing one of the goals as "To underscore that these protests are rooted in an internet video and not a broader failure of policy." Conservatives claim this is evidence the White House was seeking to deliberately mislead the public by blaming Benghazi on the anti-Muslim video rather than terrorism in the region.
In what Mediaite described as a "heated back and forth" during the April 30 White House Press Briefing, Karl hyped this false attack, repeatedly challenging White House Press Secretary Jay Carney over the Rhodes email and Rice's interviews.
During their exchange, Carney sought to make clear that the Rhodes email was not just about the Benghazi attacks but was a more extensive document detailing the situation in the Middle East more broadly, and thus that the comment that "these protests are rooted in an internet video" was not about Benghazi specifically. According to Carney, Rice depended on the CIA talking points for information on Benghazi and the White House talking points for other topics.
Conservative media have been quick to use the exchange to attack Carney and the White House. But the White House documents upon which Karl based his misleading questions support Carney's argument.
Broadcast nightly news shows were silent on the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) landmark proposal that will empower Internet providers to control online content, a decision that could dramatically -- and devastatingly -- reshape the digital landscape and the principle of net neutrality.
On April 23, the FCC announced plans to propose new rules to allow companies to pay internet providers to speed up customers' access to their websites. As the Washington Post reported, the proposal "could give high-speed Internet providers more power on what content moves the fastest on the Web based on which firms pay the most." It's an open Internet rule that could wipe away net neutrality, the principle that corporate internet providers should provide equal access to content for subscribers.
Since the FCC announced the proposal, none of the broadcast nightly news shows - neither ABC, CBS, nor NBC - have acknowledged the move. This is not the first time evening broadcast shows neglected to give airtime to this topic; on January 14 when the D.C. Court of Appeals invalidated the FCC's requirement for net neutrality that lead to the new rule proposal, these same networks did not even acknowledge the ruling in their evening broadcasts.
It's a disappointing, but not surprising, omission. NBC is owned by Comcast Corporation, which bills itself as the nation's largest high-speed Internet provider. CBS' parent company is CBS Corporation, which also owns multiple sports networks and Showtime, while ABC is part of The Walt Disney Company empire, also the owner of ESPN.
Giant corporations like Comcast win under the FCC's proposal, as Time explained:
Under the FCC's new plan, Internet service providers like Comcast and AT&T "would be required to offer a baseline level of service to their subscribers," according to an FCC spokesperson. The companies would also be prohibited from blocking or discriminating against online content, but they would be allowed to strike special deals with Internet companies like Netflix or Skype for preferential treatment, as long as they acted in a "commercially reasonable manner subject to review on a case-by-case basis."
The dismantling of net neutrality laws will allow such corporations to promote their own content at the expense of smaller competitors. As PCWorld explained:
Net neutrality advocates fear that without rules in place, big companies like Netflix, Disney, and ESPN could gain advantage over competitors by paying ISPs to provide preferential treatment to their company's data. For example, YouTube might pay extra so that its videos load faster than Hulu's on the ISP's network.
We've already seen shades of What Could Happen in AT&T's Sponsored Data and Comcast's decision to have the Xfinity TV streaming app for the Xbox 360 not count against Comcast subscribers' data caps.
Comcast could soon be even larger. The NBC parent company is currently looking to merge with cable giant Time Warner Cable Inc., and could potentially gain control of one-third of the U.S. broadband market if the merger is approved. As OpenSecrets noted, both Comcast and Time Warner Cable are against net neutrality, and "spent about $19 million and $8 million on lobbying respectively last year," making them the sixth highest federal lobbying spender.
It's not only smaller companies, but the public that will be harmed by the FCC's ruling. The New York Times noted the warning by consumer advocates that "higher costs to content providers could be passed on to the public," and could stymie startup innovation. As Vox wrote:
Allowing big companies to pay for prioritized access to consumers flies in the face of the internet's egalitarian ideals, which allow anyone or any company free access to a vibrant market free of tolls or restrictions -- allow service providers like Comcast and AT&T to start creating artificial barriers to entry, and you make it harder for the next generation of college kids to start the next Facebook or Google.
The final decision from the FCC on net neutrality rules remains to be seen. But the failure of the nation's broadcast news to acknowledge the proposed rules suggests an allegiance closer to the interests of their corporate parents than to those of their public audience.
Media Matters conducted a Nexis search of transcripts of evening network broadcast news on ABC, CBS, and NBC from April 23, 2014 through April 25, 2014. We identified and reviewed all segments that included any of the following keywords: FCC, Federal Communications Commission, internet, or net neutrality.
The following programs were included in the data: World News with Diane Sawyer, Evening News (CBS), Nightly News with Brian Williams.
Conservatives are cheering S.E. Cupp's false claim that the gun safety coalition Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG) has "crumbled" with its member mayors fleeing in droves.
Last week former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that he plans to spend $50 million on gun safety efforts, in part through the new group Everytown for Gun Safety, an umbrella organization that merges MAIG and the grassroots organization Moms Demand Action for Gun Safety in America.
During an appearance on ABC's This Week, Cupp, a host for both CNN and Glenn Beck's network The Blaze, claimed that "Mayors Against Illegal Guns has crumbled because he duped mayors into thinking they were actually going to fight illegal guns. And when they all found out actually they were going after law abiding gun owners, they said that's not what I want to be a part of. His efforts are duplicitous and they're measurably failing." Cupp's remarks were subsequently trumpeted across the right-wing media.
In fact, MAIG currently counts as members "a bipartisan group of more than 1,000 current and former mayors from nearly every state." While some mayors have left the group over the years -- at times while seeking the Republican nomination for higher office -- MAIG's overall membership has dramatically increased in recent years, from 15 mayors at its founding to 450 members in 2009 to roughly 850 in January 2013 to its current level.
Likewise, Cupp's claim that the gun safety effort is "failing" ignores reality. While federal legislation received a majority vote in the Senate but was blocked by a filibuster last year, gun safety efforts resulted in major executive actions; legislative packages passed in New York, Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, California, and Delaware, among others; and the appointment of the first permanent director of the ATF since 2006. Championing gun safety in a swing state and with the support of Bloomberg's Independence USA PAC, Terry McAuliffe and Mark Herring were elected governor and attorney general of Virginia.
Two Media Matters analyses suggest that over 85 percent of those quoted in the media about climate change are men. Several top women in the field denounced this disparity, noting that women will be disproportionately affected by the impacts of climate change.
A review of a recent Media Matters analysis of print and television coverage of the U.N. climate reports found that women made up less than 15 percent of interviewees. A look back at our analysis of broadcast coverage of climate change unearthed the same stark disparity: less than 14 percent of those quoted on the nightly news shows and Sunday shows in 2013 were women.
Allison Chin, the former president of the Sierra Club, decried this gender gap in a statement to Media Matters:
The gender imbalance among those quoted on the climate crisis is striking, particularly since women around the world are more vulnerable to the dangers of climate disruption and among the most active in the movement for solutions. Globally, existing inequalities give women less access and less control over resources and make them more susceptible to the worst effects of extreme weather. The last thing the media should do is amplify that divide by only covering one set of perspectives.
Rebecca Lefton, senior policy analyst at the Center for American Progress and an expert in international climate change policy and gender equality agreed, telling Media Matters that this is an environmental justice issue because "women are disproportionately impacted by climate change, especially in developing countries." Indeed, studies show, for instance, that women disproportionately suffer the impacts of extreme weather disasters, some of which are exacerbated by climate change, in part because they are more likely to be poor. Lefton added, "Without women's voices we lose the perspective of half of the population and without women's participation, the transition to a cleaner economy will be slower."
The lack of women's voices in climate change conversations in the media is not due to a shortage of powerful women in climate policy and communications. U.N. Climate Chief Christiana Figueres, who is in charge of negotiating a global climate treaty, noted in March that "women often bear the brunt in places where the impacts of climate change are already being felt." The last two heads of the Environmental Protection Agency, which is slated to come out with carbon pollution standards for future power plants, were both women -- current administrator Gina McCarthy and former administrator Lisa Jackson.
Media Matters has previously found that women make up only about a quarter of guests on the Sunday morning talk shows and weekday evening cable news segments on the economy. However, the gender gap on climate change conversations is even starker. One contributing factor may be that the climate sciences have experienced a "female brain drain," according to Scientific American, as have many other scientific fields. This "female brain drain" is also evident in the largely male leadership of the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Women that do enter the field often face discrimination. Two prominent female climate scientists, Heidi Cullen and Katherine Hayhoe, have both been dismissed by Rush Limbaugh as "babe[s]." Hayhoe, an evangelical Christian who is one of the stars of a new Showtime series on climate change, told E&E News that much of the internet harassment she receives focuses on her gender:
The final installment of the U.N.'s top climate report, which calls for prompt, extensive action to avoid calamitous impacts from climate change, garnered relatively little attention from the major print, cable and broadcast media outlets compared to the first installment. However, coverage of the third report rightfully gave far less space to those who cast doubt on the science.
Over the past year, broadcast evening news programs on ABC, CBS, and NBC failed to mention the role of reduced taxes on the wealthy as a cause of inequality, despite the fact that economists view taxes as a primary driver of income gaps.
The Department of Energy's clean energy loan program helped fuel the achievements of electric car company Tesla Motors, yet the major broadcast, cable and print media only mentioned the loan in 20 percent of their coverage of Tesla in 2013 (and in only 7 percent of coverage of Nissan's best-selling electric car, the Leaf). Meanwhile, 84 percent of coverage of Fisker, an electric car company that declared bankruptcy, mentioned its federal loan. This skewed coverage may have misinformed the public about the overwhelmingly positive success rate of the program.
On national equal pay day, ABC's World News served as an example of how the media should be covering the gender wage gap, emphasizing the significant economic benefits of equal pay and simultaneously shooting down the right-wing media spin that dismisses the issue.
On April 8, President Obama signed two executive orders aimed at closing the gender wage gap, beginning with federal contractors. One executive order makes it illegal for employers to retaliate against employees who discuss salaries. President Obama also signed an executive memorandum that "instructs the Labor Department to collect statistics on pay for men and women from such contractors." The president then called on Congress to pass legislation that would have much more impact.
April 8 also marked the observance of Equal Pay Day, an awareness campaign to educate the public about the pay discrepancy between working men and women in the United States. National Organization for Women President Terry O'Neill says the date marks "the number of extra days into 2014 the average woman has to work to earn as much as her male counterpart did in 2013."
On the April 8 edition of World News, host Diane Sawyer and correspondent Mara Schiavocampo shined a light on the gender pay gap, lending the issue the emphasis it deserves by highlighting the significant beneficial impact closing the gap would have on women and the overall economy as well as the necessity of President Obama's executive orders.
Sawyer and Schiavocampo championed President Obama's executive order barring employer retaliation against employees that discuss salaries, and explained that this is necessary because "half of all workers say they are required to stay silent about their salary." Many women may not be aware of pay discrimination due to company policies that prohibit salary discussions -- a 2011 survey by the Institute for Women's Policy Research revealed that "[a]lmost half of all workers (48.4 percent) responded that they were either prohibited or strongly discouraged from discussing their earnings with colleagues."
Schiavocampo also deserves credit for highlighting the substantial effect closing the pay gap would have, noting that "if women could eliminate that pay gap, the average working woman could pay for more than a year's worth of food in California, 10 months of rent in Georgia, and more than 1,900 gallons of gas in Florida." Schiavocampo also pointed out that action such as Obama's executive order would allow "women to ask for more without fear of losing their jobs":
Weekday broadcast and cable evening news covered a variety of economic topics including deficit reduction, economic growth, and effects of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) throughout the first quarter of 2014. A Media Matters analysis shows that many of these segments lacked proper context or input from economists, with Fox News continuing to advance the erroneous notion that the ACA and the minimum wage are causes of poor job growth.

"Just Take Two and Off You Go": The Representation of the Use of Medicines in TV medical Drama
|Fran Hagon
This thesis is based on a content analysis on the use of medicines in a 2007 series of House (USA), [[All Saints (Aus) and Holby City (UK).
Existing research indicates that television audiences respond more favorably to information embedded in an issues-based entertainment drama, rather than dramatic narrative packaged as specifically 'educational'. This leads to my research question "Do TV medical dramas portray the use of medicines ethically and responsibly".
This may lead to the opportunity for post doctoral research to look at the affect of TV medical drama on GPs and consumers.

Chickasaw State Park Celebrates Its Heritage
It's a double whammy at Chickasaw State Park this year. It opened the same year the Tennessee State Park system began in 1937 making them both 75 years old. Each park holds a special event to commemorate the anniversary and Chickasaw State Park's special event is Heritage Day.
Come learn about the park's history and enjoy the variety of programs planned for September 22nd between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Park Ranger Ron Elder says, "Throughout the day we'll have programs at Sagamore Lodge, one of the original buildings in the park. We'll have historic photographs about the creation of the park and displays of the Civilian Conservation Corps, who did the lion's share of work on building the park in the mid 1930s. We'll also have presentations on the history of the park.
"There will be Native American games that were played before Europeans arrived in this country and pioneer games that children played in the early 1900s. We'll have wildlife presentations and hay rides. And for our special Heritage Day event, pedal boats on Lake Placid will be available next weekend from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m."
This 1,280-acre state park is primarily used for recreation. There are four miles of hiking trails; Fern Creek Trail, Forked Pine Trail, Friend's Trail and Lakeshore Trail. However, being surrounded by Chickasaw State Forest's 12,754 acres, you can walk until you are well contented.
Bicycles are allowed on park roads and cyclists may access miles of additional roads in the state forest. You may hunt in the forest under state regulations and seasons and ride ATVs on designated roads.
Accommodations in the state park range from fully equipped cabins to camping with Lake Placid being one of two focal points. Cabins lie to the east of the lake, tent camping to the south (picnic tables, grilles, playground and bathhouse) and the Wrangler Campground to the west (water, electricity, playground, picnic tables, bathhouse and grills).
And west of the Wrangler Campground is the second focal point in the park: the RV Campground. It has the same amenities as the Wrangler Campground plus an amphitheater, playground for children, the trailhead to Fern Creek Trail, a dumping station and is close to the tennis courts.
About 10 miles west of the RV Campground is Lake LaJoie. This area was designed for groups up to 131 people with dining hall and cabins. The lake is open to anglers if the group camp is vacant, and privately owned boats with trolling motors are allowed. The group camp is only available from April to October – that leaves a lot of time for anglers to cast about on Lake LaJoie.
Fishing is available year-round on Lake Placid. Except canoes and kayaks, no privately owned boats or gasoline powered motors are allowed on the lake. However, electric trolling motors are OK. Fishing boats are available for rent year-round while pedal boats and rowboats are for rent during the summer.
Whereas length restrictions apply on most of Tennessee's lakes, there is none for crappie in the park. You may keep a generous creel limit of 30 crappies. Bass, catfish and bream are also swimming around ready for your hook.
One outstanding activity in this park is horseback riding. You may rent a horse from the park stables that are open March through Thanksgiving weekend, and open weekends in the spring and fall. The guided trail ride takes approximately one hour. Call the stables at 731-989-9494 for cost and hours of operation.
The Wrangler Campground located near the stables is designed for equestrians with their own horses, which may be picketed at the campsites. There are approximately 100 miles of trails in Chickasaw State Forest.
You're invited to come help celebrate the 75th anniversary of Tennessee State Parks, the creation of Chickasaw State Park, and all of the history that has been made here. For more information call 731-989-5141 or 1-800-458-1725 or visit the Tennessee State Parks website here.

I keep giving in to the cravings. I've smoked for 30 years now and I know I must smell foul to other people who don't smoke.
It seems that I have as many (or few) problems as I usually do, but they just seem so much bigger and insurmountable when I'm craving cigarettes.
I have no self control (will power) when it comes to this, but I must quit. I have no aspirations of living a long long life; I just want to have a good quality of life through the second half or so.
I really do want to quit badly, I'm just having a very hard time convincing my brain that it needs to be as stubborn as possible when the cravings take hold.

I have no expectations for my father, I would just like to know him. I hope he is still alive and well. I will be 45 this year and I just want to meet my dad. I don't really look like anyone in my family so, hopefully I look a lot like my father and he will recognize some of those looks in this picture.
My father doesn't know I exist. His relationship with my mother ended before she knew she was pregnant. All I have is his first and last name. I don't even know how old he would be.

Valley National Bancorp's CEO Discusses Q1 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
During the second quarter, we will be opening an executive office in Manhattan to spearhead this geographic expansion. Both our senior staff and I will be spending time each week at this location in order to make ourselves readily available to these growing segments of our customer base.
The Northern New Jersey, New York City and Long Island marketplace provides from our view the greatest demographic opportunities in the country as one of the longest standing middle market commercial lenders in the region, we have a history and stability to develop profitable relationships and promote the Valley brand while increasing both the earnings power and franchisee value of the organization.
The following comments surrounding loan growth and activity for the quarter do not include the impact of the $37 million short-term loan to State Bank Corp that was made in December of 2011, that loan was used to repay their TARP funds and was eliminated at closing on January 1. Total loan growth during the quarter adjustment for the acquisition of stake was extremely promising as non-covered loans grew nearly 15% annualized. Growth for the period was achieved two-fold as Valley originated nearly $1 billion of loans internally and acquired during the last week of March an additional $112 million portfolio of mostly commercial real estate loans within our geographic marketplace. We anticipate the purchase loans will be immediately accretive to our bottom line based on the underlying economics of each loan. In addition we will pursue additional relationships from the 185 commercial borrowers purchased. We conducted full credit due diligence on each and every loan prior to the purchase. Since we were quite selected in the loans we acquired, we will believe the transaction will add to our bottom line immediately.

Hearst Documentary Highlights Life, Legacy of California's Greatest Media Baron
This weekend, the "H" in William H. Macy will stand for not just "Hall" but also "Hearst." That's because the Oscar-nominated actor does a very capable job as narrator of the feature documentary Citizen Hearst, opening Thursday at Laemmle movie theaters in Beverly Hills (Music Hall), Pasadena (Playhouse 7), Encino (Town Center) and Claremont (Claremont 5).
After highlighting the life exploits of William Randolph Hearst, the movie really hits its stride once it gets to the post-World War II era and success of magazines like Good Housekeeping, Harper's Bazaar and Cosmopolitan. It's fun to hear interview subjects recall how Helen Gurley Brown's stewardship hit town "like a thunder clap." Here for example is a recollection in the film from Kate White, Cosmo editor-in-chief from 1998 to 2012:
"Helen's first cover is still an inspiration to me, it's so sexy. The woman, a blonde, buxom. The little hint of Brigitte Bardot… One of my favorite all-time [first cover] lines is, 'THE NEW PILL THAT PROMISES TO MAKE WOMEN MORE RESPONSIVE.'"

Posted 2:20 PM THURSDAY 20th.
When these are gone that's it folks!
Movie Maniacs and eONE Films have teamed up to bring you advanced screening passes to NO CLUE starring Brent Butt of Corner Gas fame.
"When a beautiful and mysterious woman bursts into Leo's Vancouver office and begs for his help in finding her missing brother, it's just another day in the life of a hard-boiled detective. The problem is, Leo's not a detective -- hard-boiled or otherwise. He sells novelty advertising across the hall from the detective, and the woman just opened his door by mistake. "
Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1kM4-HeKvM
The showing is Monday February 24th at Chinook Theatres. Sign in here to get your free double passes and use the code CPLNOCLUE. Managed to negotiate some extra passes so you can also use the code CPLNOCLUE2. Tickets are fully transferable so it you request them and can't use them, please pass them on. The trailer looks very funny and actor/writer/comedian Brent Butt will be in attendance after the filming for a Q&A.
And if you see it drop me a ilne through comments and tell me what you think.
On Thursday February 20th Crowfoot will be hosting its usual Film Night at 6:30. And what a movie we have lined up for you! We are showcasing Captain Phillips, starring everybody's favorite guy next door, Tom Hanks. Worthy of all six of its Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor, Best Achievement in Film Editing, Best Achievement in Sound Editing, Best Achievement in Sound Mixing and Best Writing, Adapted ScreenPlay .
Rated PG-13 for sustained intense sequences of menace, some violence with bloody images, and for substance use. If you are trying to see all the Oscar nominated Best Pictures ahead of the Oscars on March 2nd, here's a great way to catch one.
Since you liked Diana Vreeland so much, here are some more fashion documentaries to inspire:
Lagerfeld Confidential
Controversial? Yes, but I still have to give credit to the man who invented a perfume that smells like books. Also who can rework the same core inspiration pieces and make something new every season? Karl can. Watch him in action.
Valentino, The Last Emperor
Follow Valentino Garavani, one of the last of the big 20th century couturier's, in this DVD which covers a season about 10 year ago and compare it to today.
Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorfs
Founded in 1899, Bergdorf Goodman is one of Fifth Avenue New York's famed fashion hawkers. Enjoy this documentary glimpse at its comings and goings, including the window displays.
L'Amour Fou
Yves St. Laurent's elegant, streamlined work has enjoyed a resurgence lately. Witness sheer blouses, and tuxedo dressing for women. The DVD is in French, but this is un pays bilingue, n'est pas? If your crazy love for fashion requires, English subtitles are available.
You will also enjoy The September Issue, and Bill Cunningham New York, reviewed earlier.
If you are as rabid a fan as I am of the new Sherlock starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman you will know that episode one of Season Three aired on January the 19th. If you need a reminder of what happened at the end of Season Two -- a whole two years ago -- grab it here. Not a fan yet? Start at the beginning with Season One and it won't be long before you're hooked. And would you believe you can already place holds on Season Three although it is not on our shelves yet?
I came across an interesting article on IMDB that says thanks to the incredible North American popularity of Sherlock, Downton Abbey and Mr. Selfridge, PBS Masterpiece Classics has been pulled back from the brink. It lost its major funding and was close to the edge when Exxon Mobile withdrew. You know all those commercials with the incredibly thin beautiful women in the incredibly exotic beautiful gowns? And all those fantastic looking cruises? Well, thanks to Ralph Lauren and Viking Cruises, Masterpiece Classics is fully funded right through to the end of 2014. I might just have to buy one of those fur hats to wear while I cruise up the Volga to express my gratitude. Seriously, thanks Ralph and Viking!
And if you look around town you just might see Sherlock's co-star Martin Freeman as he is currently in Calgary shooting "Fargo" for FX. The original Fargo is one of the Coen brothers more quirky offerings and if you know the Coen brothers that's saying something. It is an extremely violent but nonetheless exceptional film that won two Oscars including Best Actress for Frances McDormand and Best Original Screen Play for the Coens.
I like clever movies and Side Effects is certainly that. A well-constructed plot unfolding at a good pace, and solid performances by Rooney Mara, Jude Law and Catherine Zeta Jones make this a good bet for your two hours.
Grabbed a couple of older titles off the shelf and hit the jackpot on both of them:
From 2004, Something the Lord Made stars one of my perennial faves, Alan Rickman, and hip-hop artist turned actor Mos Def. Don't let this put you off; Def can act and the two of them are really good in this. A dramatization of the relationship between surgery pioneers Alfred Blalock and Vivien Thomas, the first to defy the unwritten rule against operating on the heart and as a result invent by-pass surgery.
Next up is Some Mother's Son from 1996 with Helen Mirren. Based on the true story of the 1981 hunger strike in a British prison, in which IRA prisoner Bobby Sands led a protest against the treatment of IRA prisoners as criminals rather than as prisoners of war. The film focuses on the mothers of two of the strikers, and their struggle to save the lives of their sons.
The Academy has announced this year's nominees. Find out who's in and who's out for this year's awards on their website. Everything Oscar can be found here: fun trivia, bloopers, gowns, glam shots, and all you need to get you ready for the show on Sunday March 2.
The event will be hosted by popular Ellen DeGeneres—her second time at the helm. The theme this year is movie heroes and I would hope that it's more than just super heroes—there certainly should be a lot of other iconic heroes from which to choose.
Of course a lot of the nominations are films that are currently just in theatres, but you can rest assurred that Calgary Public Library has you covered. As soon as they are available to order we will do so and once they are ordered and turn up in the catalogue they are ready for you to place your holds.
In fact, "Academy Award Nominations 2013" as a subject heading in our catalgoue will bring up all records of the current Oscar Nominations that we have in our collection (or on order).
And yes, I was sorry to see that Prisoners wasn't up for anything (other than cinematography), especially Jake G. But then I have a really lousy track record at guessing Oscars nominations and winners.

Gotta admit I'm a sucker for Frankenstein stories, but this looks like a seriously different take on the big guy. Check out the trailer:
This month kicks off our third year of Film Nights at Crowfoot Library. On the third Thursday of every month at 6:30 p.m. we offer a movie in our program room. These are always current, new to DVD releases and very often have high numbers of holds on them. This is a great way to beat that wait.
So join us this Thursday when we will be showing Red 2 with Willis, Malkovich, Hopkins, Mirren, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Mary Louise Parker and Byung-hun Lee. A plausible enough plot, with a great ensemble cast. No, it is not Shakespeare, but it is funny, has some well choregraphed fight scenes and the actors do look like they are enjoying themselves. So suspend disbelief and come along and be entertained.
No registration is required and the doors open at 6:00 p.m. with the show starting promptly at 6:30 p.m. It's rated PG-13 for pervasive action and violence including frenetic gunplay, and for some language and drug material.
Short notice but if you are free tonight enjoy an advanced screening at Eau Claire Market Cinemas courtesy of Movie Maniacs and eOne.
The movie is Lone Survivor and stars Mark Wahlberg. Follow this link to request your tickets and print off at home. The password required is:
Sometimes a movie just comes and goes without a lot of noise and if you aren't watching for it you don't know what you've missed. This is especially true of Prisoners which just had its theatrical release in September and has already gone to DVD. This wasn't on my radar either and I am so glad that fellow Movie Maniac Mat steered me towards it.
The acting in this is tremendous. Often I find when a movie is an ensemble with a bunch of well-known names it just doesn't come together like it should. This is not the case here. Everybody's performances are controlled and hit all the right marks. I've never seen a better performance from Hugh Jackman--this is not gruff but lovable Wolverine, nor heroic Jean valJean singing his heart out. This is a man absolutely driven by his certainty, past the point of all reason. Jake Gyllenhaal is pitch perfect, and the two of them deserve any awards thrown their way. Terrence Howard, Melissa Leo, Paul Dano, Maria Bello, and Viola Davis round out the very good cast.
This is the best thriller I have seen all year, maybe even a couple of years. There's no denying it is dark and there are some very disturbing scenes that I actually had to look away from, but what a story. Tightly woven interconnecting threads come together for an explosive ending that leaves you reeling. Don't wait to put your hold on this one.
If this doesn't get some Oscar nods I will be seriously disappointed.

Fugitive Nabbed In Connection with 17-Year-Old Robbery
Authorities tracked down a fugitive wanted in connection with a Long Island bank robbery that took place 17 years ago.
Officials say the unidentified man fled to Jamaica following the heist, and was nabbed while attempting to renew a driver's license he had previously registered using the name of a dead man. According to police, employees at the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles became suspicious when the suspect misspelled the name of the deceased man during the renewal process.
It was described as the most stunning robberies in Nassau County.
"The suspects entered the bank, displayed weapons, placed all the customers and all the employees of the bank on the floor," Nassau Chief of Detectives Steven Skryencki told PIX 11 News. "They then jumped over the counter and directed one of the tellers to open up the vault.
The suspects involved in the robbery -- which occurred on March 8, 1993 at an EAB in Lake Success -- made off with $240,000.
A bank teller and another men were arrested a few days following the robbery for conspiring to rob an armored car that was delivering money to the bank. The cash was never recovered
Nadine Smith, 23, of Queens and Norman Palmer, 21, of Baldwin, were arrested shortly after the incident. Smith was sentenced to 4 to 12 years in prison for robbery. Palmer, who was convicted on the same charge was sentenced to 6 to 12 years.
Police are still looking for a fourth man in connection with the incident.
"We don't forget and we never give up," said Chief Skryencki was one of the original detectives on the case.Copyright © 2014, Sun Sentinel

Checking for tabs I could get behind; checking for trailing whitespace not
so much.
I've never understood why folks get worked up over a little trailing
whitespace here and there, since you can't see it and it doesn't affect
correctness. Spurious whitespace changes that make a review harder - those
are annoying. Trailing whitespace inadvertently left on lines where
legitimate changes were made in a patch - doesn't seem too harmful to me.

Edward Snowden to speak at SXSW

The ACLU and SXSW will host a video chat with Edward Snowden on Monday, during the day's civil-liberties-focused program track. I'll be speaking immediately before Snowden, with Barton Gellman, and we will be staying for the Snowden event. Snowden will be interviewed by ACLU technologist Christopher Soghoian, and the event is moderated by the ACLU's Ben Wizner. I hope to see you there -- it's why I'm flying to Austin.

Austin cops violently crack down on scourge of anonymous jaywalking
Jonl sez, "Streets near the University of Texas at Austin today are safer, thanks to quick and effective action by the local police, who caught and arrested a jogger, observed wearing a pony tail, black shorts, and a headset in the area. She was apparently menacing traffic by crossing the street in a manner construed as 'jaywalking,' however her apparent arrest was due to her failure to provide identification: i.e., she was guilty not just of jaywalking, but of anonymous jaywalking."
Woman arrested on 24th street after crossing intersection (Thanks, Jonl!)
Texas governor Rick Perry moots pot decriminalization —Texas Governor Rick Perry has endorsed the idea of decriminalizing marijuana. Note that this is not Colorado/Washington-style legalization (which would give Texas access to a flood of tax-dollars from a legal industry), rather, it's decriminalization, which means that you will get a ticket if you get caught with small amounts of pot. That deprives the state of tax revenue, but saves the state some money on the prison system, and allows police the all-important discretion to disproportionately hassle brown people and anyone they find suspicious.

Speaking at SXSW with Barton Gellman about Edward Snowden and NSA surveillance
I'll be returning to SXSW Interactive this March for the first time in more than five years, to interview Pulitzer-winning journalist Barton Gellman, who is one of the journalists who's been entrusted with some of the Snowden NSA leaks. We're doing a presentation called "Snowden 2.0: A Field Report From the NSA Archives," which follows an address by Glenn Greenwald. We're speaking on March 10 -- I hope to see you!

Crowdfunding legal challenge by a Texas family whose farm was stolen by Keystone XL
Alan sez, "So there's this woman who decided she wasn't going to give Keystone XL passage rights through her land in Texas. Not even for the few tens of thousands of dollars they offered. And then the story gets weird.
In Texas, companies (like TransCanada) can use eminent domain. All they have to do is declare themselves a 'common carrier' which is apparently a one-page form you have to fill out. Keystone did that and then took Julia Crawford's land."

Feds subject drug suspect to vaginal/anal probe, X-ray, CT Scan, without a warrant -- find nothing
The ACLU is representing a New Mexico woman in her fifties who was subjected by federal agents to a two-handed (!) vaginal and anal examination, an involuntary X-ray and CAT scan, and was forced to defecate in front of strangers. The woman was suspected of being in possession of drugs, on the basis of a drug-dog alert at the Juarez/El Paso border-crossing. No drugs were found. The federal agents -- it's not clear what agency they were with -- did not obtain a warrant. The doctors at University Medical Center in El Paso performed the procedures without the victim's consent, including the CT scan, which subjects people to a high dose of potentially harmful radiation.
The ACLU of New Mexico is certainly developing some deep expertise on the subject of involuntary, drug-war anal probes: see this earlier story by Mark.

Texas's "texting judge" resigns, admitting she texted instructions to prosecutors
Third generation Texas judge Elizabeth E. Coker has resigned just ahead of being investigated for misconduct; she admits that she texted instructions to prosecutors in order to help them convict the defendants whose cases she heard. She also is accused of other indiscretions, including meeting with jurors and attempting to influence them to convict defendants. The State Commission on Judicial Conduct suggests that she lied to them as well, perjuring herself. She's out of a job, but apparently will face no criminal or civil sanctions for her crimes; nor will the victims whose trials she perverted be freed.

14-year-old girl who was called a "whore" for her pro-Choice sign expresses disappointment in adult world
Tuesday Cain is the 14-year-old Texas girl who designed the "Jesus isn't a dick so keep him out of my vagina" sign that went viral in a photo that showed her friend holding it up in front of the Texas Capitol. She was protesting Texas's misogynist, retrograde anti-Choice law. Afterward, a number of self-identified Christian opponents of abortion heaped the vilest, cruelest abuse on her, calling her a "whore" and worse. In this editorial, young Ms Cain explains how this made her feel, and reminds us that calling young women "whores" does not make your case for you.
I'm going to be honest about what it feels like to be called that as a 14-year-old girl who has never had sex and who doesn't plan to have sex anytime soon.
I feel disappointed.
It's hard for me to understand why adults would be calling me this. It's hard for me to understand why anyone would use this term for a 14-year-old girl.
It's not anyone's business, but as I said, I am a virgin, and I don't plan to have sex until I am an adult.
But none of those facts make me feel any less passionate about fighting for a woman's right to choose and the separation of church and state in my home state of Texas.
I'm The 14-Year-Old Who Wrote The "Jesus Isn't A Dick So Keep Him Out of My Vagina" Sign In Texas And Was Labeled A "Whore" By Strangers Online [Tuesday Cain/XOJane]

Critic of AIDS denialist needs help with Texas defamation lawsuit
Clark Baker, an "AIDS denialist" who plays hardball with his critics -- for example, calling a critic's elderly mother and saying that, as an ex-police-officer, it is his opinion that her son was a violent criminal who might murder her in her sleep -- can dish it out but can't take it.
Baker operates a consultancy that helps people who have HIV and have unprotected sex escape from the legal consequences of their recklessness. His professional service involves appearing in court and arguing that HIV is not the cause of AIDS.
Understandably, this draws firm and impassioned criticism. One critic, J. Todd Deshong of Texas, is now the target of a lawsuit by Baker and his attorney, Mark Weitz of Weitz Morgan PLLC in Austin, Texas. They have brought suit against Deshong for "trademark infringement, defamation, "business disparagement," and for injunctive relief."
As Ken at Popehat points out, this is without legal merit. But nuisance suits can be ruinously expensive, and if you're a deep-pocketed pseudoscientist-for-hire whose career as an AIDS denialist depends on silencing critics who point out the obvious holes in your scientific reasoning, then no price is too high when it comes to frivolous litigation.
Mr Deshong needs help from members of the Texas bar and supporters around the world who can come to his aid and defend his right to participate in vigorous debate over important, life-or-death issues without this sort of litigious harassment.
Todd Deshong needs help. He's being sued for attacking junk science; he's being sued by the sort of loathsome nutter who threatens the mothers of critics. Your freedom to speak without fear of censorious and frivolous litigation chilling you depends on the willingness of people to step up in situations like this. If nobody helps Todd Deshong, then anybody can be driven to penury by a flawed legal system that serves as a vehicle for despicable and un-American censorship by lunatics of every stripe. If you're a Texas lawyer, please consider helping. If you know Texas lawyers, please bring this to their attention. If you have an online presence, please tell this story — and research Clark Baker's behavior yourself. Clark Baker and his lawyer should experience the social consequences of their actions — help be a part of those social consequences. Step up for free speech.

Come and Take It uterus tees to support Texas Planned Parenthood
Kyle from Bumperactive sez, "Support the thousands of Texans standing for Women's Reproductive Freedom at the State Capitol this morning with a 'Come And Take It' Uterus tee, printed by Austin printshop Bumperactive and designed by liberal Texas troublemakers Cole Latimer and Carrie Collier-Brown. $12.00 from the sale of each $25.00 benefits Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas and The Texas Democratic Party in an equal split. The design is riff on the famous flag of the Texian Settlers in the first battle of Texas Revolution. The imprint is a one-color screen-print on a Texas Orange pre-shrunk Gildan tee." Come And Take It
(Thanks, Kyle!)

The 86th Academy Awards is less than a week away and the night is proving to be more star-studded than ever.
On Monday, producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron announced the complete slate of stars who will be on stage to present alongside the previously announced Daniel Day-Lewis, Jennifer Lawrence, Christoph Waltz and Anne Hathaway -- last year's acting winners.
While not the most memorable episode of the season, the Saturday Night Live finale was important for a number of reasons. Not only did it mark the last episode with Bill Hader, but if reports are true, it was the last with Fred Armisen and Jason Sudeikis as well. The finale also marked host Ben Affleck's induction into The Five Timer's Club, which wasn't nearly as glamorous as the Argo director expected.
One of this fall's big programming events wasn't actually broadcast on TV. Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, a live-action series geared toward the launch of the new Xbox 360 video game, has become a hit for YouTube, where it runs on the young male-oriented Machinima Prime channel.
YouTube is taking on the traditional TV model in a big way, with the help of major stars, original programs like Halo 4 and big events like Felix Baumgartner's space jump, which broke YouTube user records on Oct. 14. A year after YouTube parent Google unleashed an aggressive $100 million initiative to launch around 100 original programming channels (and committed $200 million to market the channels), viewership on the platform was up 11 percent year-to-year in September.
It's a slow build, and so far YouTube's original programming initiative hasn't produced a hit that was big enough to enter the public consciousness. But according to newly released comScore data, YouTube users spent an average of 419.1 minutes watching video in September, compared to 378 minutes in Sept. 2011.

Hanukkah and Christmas Mash-up Items
This holiday season we are spotting some pretty crazy Hanukkah/Christmas mash-up items. We know how you reacted to the Hanukkah Christmas tree topper (you were not big fans) or the Santa Dreidel (ditto). Basically, it seems that most families–including those who practice more than one religion–like to keep their holidays separate.
And with that, we bring you the hottest Hanukkah/Christmas Mash-up items of 2013. Let us know what you think of these in the comments below!
1. Santa Clause speaks Yiddish.
2. Santa and Jewish star ornament.
3. Santa hat yarmulke
4. Handmade white and blue crocheted holiday stocking–don't mind if we do.
5. And the self-explanatory awesome holiday mug.
6. And last but not least, the clearly "confused" Christmas menorah.

Claflin Students Selected for UNCF Gateway to Leadership Program
By PRINCESS WILLIAMS The Panther
Fashion will never die. People will always need clothes. Claflin's visionaries are beginning to branch out and build their own brand by creating their own clothing lines.
Social media outlets such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are being used to promote and showcase their merchandise. Creators of the clothing lines are having their friends and colleagues be models.
There's nothing like support from others. Maybe you designers should put on a fashion show in WVM. Sounds like a good idea to me. Continue to work hard!

Saturday Night Live cast member Jason Sudeikis has single-handedly brought Olivia Wilde's libido back to life -- and that's according to the Hollywood beauty herself.
Wilde, 28, gushed about her nine-month love affair with Sudeikis, 36, following her appearance at These Girls, an evening of monologues, hosted by Glamour magazine in New York City on Monday night.
Speaking to Vulture magazine, Wilde bemoaned the fact she had to fake her happiness toward the end of her eight-year marriage to filmmaker and Italian aristocrat Tao Ruspoli.
"I felt like my vagina died," Wilde said about her sex life with Ruspoli, whom she divorced in 2011. "Turned off. Lights out... you can lie to your relatives at Christmas dinner and tell them everything on the home front is just peachy. But you cannot lie to your vagina."
In contrast, Wilde said she is "blissfully, hopefully, wildly in love" with Sudeikis. Wilde even boasted that she and the SNL funnyman "have sex like Kenyan marathon runners."
Wilde apparently now wishes that she had left her marriage sooner.
"Sometimes your vagina dies," Wilde said. "Then you know it's time to go. There's no reason to sacrifice your womanhood and femininity for some sort of weird feeling of responsibility to something that may not be right. I feel like far too many women do that."
Wilde added, "[Men] are not allowed to be the only ones thinking with their genitals."
But, of course, Wilde's new romance isn't all about sex. Clearly she loves his body, but the actress told iVillage that she also loves his sense of humor.
"He keeps me laughing," she said. "Funny guys are always the best, and I think it works on all us girls."
Watch the iVillage exclusive interview with Olivia Wilde below.

I just need to go on a quick tangent regarding the friendster patent that has been released recently. I wanted to take a step back and look at it from Friendsters point of view, but i really couldn't see anything positive. The truth is, friendster is doing just what i was hoping it would not, trying to steal away funds and hurt the current and future social networking prospects. This last second dive is just that, a dive, like a cheap boxer taking a dive just to make some cash, Friendster is doing just that.
The other thing that upsets me is the fact that they are tagging themselves as an originator in social networking. The truth is there were sticky features in most other major sites like PlanetAll and Webmaster World that were doing these types of things, like building communities, since the mid 90′s.
I just wanted to come out and say this was an EXTREMELY cheap effort by Friendster who is trying to effectively use the courts to make its final heave for cash in their failing business model. Shame on friendster for not trying to do something new, specialized and exciting and blatently saying other companies are stealing their ideas.

Taxi-hailing apps are gaining momentum globally, and China is a very important battlefield for both international players like Uber and local players like Didi Dache and Kuaidi Dache. While the battle for market share and consumer loyalty is ongoing, monetization has also appeared on the agenda of these taxi-hailing apps. Pioneer marketers have started to experiment with mobile advertising on Didi, and Huawei is one of them.
On December 17, 2014, Huawei sponsored Didi's lucky money in its first attempt to place mobile ads on Didi for its newest smartphone, the Huawei Honor 6 Plus. Huawei has embedded the product name, ad copy, and images in Didi lucky money and aims to reach the more than 100 million Didi users and their friends on WeChat. Huawei has created four opportunities for ad exposure:
1. Banner ad on the menu page of the Didi app
2. Full-page ad when the user clicks into the banner ad
3. Sponsorship of Didi lucky money shared in WeChat
4. Full-page ad embedded in Didi lucky money
This ad campaign has certainly created buzz and attracted attention. However, Huawei could improve its implementation by:

NVDRS cassette tape MP3 player brings back the mix tape
You remember audio cassettes, don't you? Of course you do. They weren't the greatest audio format, but they did bring us mix tapes, and I doubt there are many people from a certain generation who don't have a fondness for mix tapes. Unlike MP3 mixes, they required you to fit a specific amount of music on each side, and it was a pain to skip around them. You had to listen to them as a full mix.
That's why I appreciate the NVDRS Tape. It's a concept MP3 player that limits you to 45 minutes of music, or 10 songs. It also cleverly uses the tape form, having you fast forward or rewind by sticking your finger in the cassette hole and twisting, like you're winding up the tape. Unfortunately, it is just a concept, so you won't be able to make mixes for it just yet.

7 Stocks Rising on Big Volume
Trex (TREX) manufactures and distributes wood/plastic composite products, as well as related accessories, primarily for residential and commercial decking and railing applications. This stock is trading up 2.6% at $30.81 in recent trading.
Today's Volume: 290,000Average Volume: 228,649 Volume % Change: 171% >>5 Rocket Stocks to Buy Into September From a technical perspective, TREX is moving modestly higher here with above average volume, and it's starting to push into breakout territory above some near-term overhead resistance at $30.06. This stock has recently spiked big from a low of $24.51 to today's intraday high of $31.06. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in TREX as long as it's trending above its 50-day moving average of $28.88 with strong upside volume flows. I would consider any upside volume day that registers near or above 228,649 shares as bullish. If TREX can hold its trend above $28.88, and more importantly above $30.06, then this stock will have a great chance of re-testing or possibly taking out its next major overhead resistance levels at $31.66 to $32.46.
