The head of Diageo has admitted that his company's eventual purchase of majority control of India's United Spirits had given the firm its fa...
On Thursday (30 July), Diageo will report its full-year results. Here, just-drinks takes a look at how the group has fared in its final quarter, the three months to the end of June:
Is the sun finally about to return for Diageo? Analysts at Nomura have upgraded their rating for the global drinks giant from 'neutral' to 'buy' after meetings with the company reassured them that the company's 'bad newsflow' is abating and that growth would see a recovery in fiscal-2016.
Drinks giant Diageo has been in the news recently after discrepancies were found in the results of United Spirits, an Indian spirits company that the company recently bought a controlling stake in.
It's not every day that one can accuse the world's biggest spirits producer of being a bit stupid, but my peers in India are making hay today, doing just that. But, before wading in against Diageo and the call by its United Spirits unit in India for chairman Vijay Mallya to stand down, ask yourself this one question: What difference does it make?

In this second - and final - part, Varga details the company's take on the mergers & acquisitions scene in the global spirits industry, and the roll of innovation as an alternative to M&A.
In the first just-drinks interview of 2010, we sit down with John Beard, CEO of Whyte & Mackay, and ask him about his first nine months in the hotseat, his company's relationship with its Indian owners and where he sees opportunity for growth going forward. Go on, take a guess.

Skip to comments.Are you an ABO like me PO'd at JR for getting called a RINO? Truce declared! Please DONATE!
Posted on 05/06/2012 8:09:35 AM PDT by Seizethecarp
Attention "Anyone But Obama" (ABO) FReepers! If you go to the thread at the link you will will see that JimRob has "declared a truce" and hundreds of ABO FReepers are now vigorously defending their belief, which I share, that the ineligible Marxist Manchurian MUST BE DEFEATED to preserve the Republic...without fear of "the ZOT"! Please consider a DONATION not just to fund renewal of expression and amplification of your ABO views, but let's over-achieve this FReepathon to get JR his new equipment!
IMO, Free Republic and FReepers could be vital in swing states in rallying just enough conservatives to tip the election and prevent our troops from having to salute for even one day longer than necessary an ineligible Marxist committed to destroying the USA !
The two strands of Conservatism are talking past each other in our latest argument. We come from the two different places. One strand is one that places its priorities on the fiscal and foreign policy issues. It's history in the GOP can be traced back to opposition to the New Deal back in the 1930's. This is why my businessman grandfather was a Republican back in those days. For honesty's sake, I place myself in this strand.
The other strand is the Social Conservatives. They enter the GOP picture around 1980. Prior they were part of the Democrat coalition.They accepted the premise of the New Deal . They were the ones who strongly supported Carter in 1976. Their disappointment with Carter and the social turmoil of the 60's and 70's pushed them into the GOP. However, social issues are center stage. They are not so much against big government in its' organization, but in the Liberal's use of it. I may be bold in stating that if Obamacare was instituted without abortion being included, their opposition to it would end.
The Social Conservatives see the Free Market Conservatives as money grubbing heathens. While the Free Market Conservatives see the Social Conservatives as religious extremist. This is a fact on how we see each other.
A good test would be who would you vote for in this hypothetical situation.
Candidate A - 100% social conservative on social issues , but left wing on economics.
Candidate B - Moderate to slightly liberal on the social issues, and 100% free market pro-business on the fiscal ones.
I personally would vote for Candidate B, how but others. Would be interesting to read the responses.
Link to Original Post:
Frank discussion re our loss to Obama/Romney and the future direction of FR and tea party movement
"My FRiends, we might as well face the reality that we the combined pro-life conservative movement and tea party coalition have lost this round (the presidential election) in the larger battle to reclaim our constitution and our inalienable rights. Rove, Romney and the GOP-e have successfully destroyed and driven off each and every pro-life conservative tea party candidate from the race and all have surrendered to the Romney camp. It is no secret that Romney is not one of us. There is absolutely no doubt that he has never accomplished a single conservative thing in his entire political career (one term as liberal governor of liberal Massachusetts and six years campaigning for president). In Massachusetts, he undeniably championed abortion, gay rights, global warming, gun control, big government statist mandated/socialized health care programs, liberal judges, TARP, bailouts, stimulus spending, debt limit increases, etc, and even though he's recently claimed a complete reversal in political beliefs and no longer despises pro-life conservatives or the time of Reagan-Bush, I still don't trust him. He still stubbornly holds on to some of his statist beliefs, like global warming, gays in the military, RomneyCare, stimulus spending, etc, so there is no way I can vote for him or join Cain, Perry, Bachmann, Newt or any others who are endorsing him. But I will not act on my prior promises that I would actively campaign against him if he wins the nomination. Our combined movement is already torn and splintered and is going to have to be mended if we're going to have any impact whatsoever against the liberal/progressives and statists after the election. To that end I propose a TRUCE among our conservative forces during the remainder of this election cycle. "
For full post, here is the link:
It's really tiring to have so many good conservative people being lied about and attacked over and over and over and over again with absolutely no repercussions.
"For you to use those twisted truths as weapons against conservatives. trying to save this nation from the clutches of Obama and the Dems, is maddening."
Bingo! Check his signup date. This forum has been infiltrated by an army of Obamabots. It's a coordinated effort and they are laughing about it over at DailyKos.
Candidate B for me. If we no longer have a free society because BIG government has taken over, I doubt we will have any say in social issues. Obviously with Obama or Romney, fiscal conservatives will be screwed and so will social conservatives. Insanity has prevailed.
-noun, pl. -ries.
1. stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief or opinion that differs from one's own.
That doesn't necessarily make anyone on either side(s) a bad person. I prefer to judge these matters in the pragmatic political vein and shall strive do do so in the future.
I, myself, will have to see the long term results of this 'truce' before I donate again to FR (I'm not a big donor). My dollars will go to support conservative candidates around the country, but not to a place where I fearfully and rarely post just because I hate unbridled Marxism and say it.
Sorry, but I know I'm not alone in this, and I doubt some will ever come back after the things that have gone on here and the fear that posting the evil of Obama will get you zotted.
Regardless of the inadequacy of the GOP candidate, this is the most pivotal election in our lifetime (and mine goes back to Truman). I fear that, if FR doesn't change its tune, it will become irrelevant.
By choice.
You bitch about people stating their God given opinions....Then won't name names.
You throw the BIGOT word around...like Jesse Jackass..and The REV Sharpton...and then try and tell me spit is water.
My whole point was you sound EXACTLY like a progressive liberal...calling people BIGOTS, but not naming them...and implying ALL religions are EQUAL.
Beliefs belong in church, conservatives belong on FreeRepublic; and here the Twains shall meet.
Your opinion, is great.
So is mine.
If you truly thought you were going to just post what you did...and not take some flak and heat...I can't explain it to you.
That is a very good explanation of where we stand. Of course a lot of Republicans have morphed into a mix of social and fiscal conservatism. Groups that organize together for electoral purposes will, over time, adopt some of each others policy positions.
There are, to use your example, many Republican Candidate B's who will agree to the pro-life position in order to keep the coalition together, but that don't personally care about it one way or the other. And of course there equally numerous Republican Candidate A's who would personally have no problem using government to do things like ban porn, but understand such positions aren't viable within a broad coalition that can win elections.
Please name such a candidate in the real world.
"It takes your enemy and your friend, working together, to hurt you to the heart: the one to slander you and and the other to get the news to you." -- Mark Twain
"demonizing? Ha!!
I pass up...ton's of posts. I'm quite sure you could do the same....as ALL FReepers can.
Your whine...is tiresome.
Y'all have the same game plan don't you. Trying to gode someone into a personal flaming war. Then call out the troops for reenforcement to gang up like a pack of wolves,then ping JR to come see what this guy said, and then circle around the body like a bunch of buzzards. Sorry, not falling for your trap. I have seen you and others like you use this exact same tactic, many times over.You and people like you are the exact reason so many posters have left, along with their money.
If the Republican "Anybody but Obama" was a Koran thumping Muslim, would you campaign for him and vote for him out of your fear of another 4 years of Obama?
BTW who are the "religious bigots" on this forum? The ones who inform everyone about the strange beliefs and practices of Temple Worthy Mormons like Romney?
If you don't believe that Mormon doctrines, practices and beliefs are as weird as Mitt Romney appears when he is around ordinary people, then maybe the problem lies with you.
It is a test of everybody's bottom line. Let's say Bob Casey Jr. vs Rudy Guiliani. Casey Jr. is pro-life, and Rudy is pro-choice. Who would you vote for President between the two. Me, Rudy.
I meant to ping you to post 108.
Good video by Dinesh.
You think J. Smith.....was equal to Jesus Christ.
Well.....heck EF, why didn't you just come out and say that at the beginning.
BTW.....I've known many Jews, I've gone to many gatherings with Jews. I've NEVER once heard anyone of them...call Jesus a "con-man".
Excuse me, post 115.
You said 100-percent socially conservative, which I strongly doubt Bob Casey is. I don't believe such a candidate exists.
Let me put it another way. If ABOs are going to prevail in November, they need ABLs like me a lot more than I need them. I'd have no problem going off the reservation in your hypothetical circumstance, as I plan to do in November. Because we ALWAYS have more than two choices.
Agree, left a lot out for sake of brevity. Might of still failed on the brevity front.
There you go, mis quoting again, I never said I thought that, I said others might think that.
I will put you down for A.
"Yall have the same game plan dont you. Trying to gode someone into a personal flaming war. Then call out the troops for reenforcement to gang up like a pack of wolves,then ping JR to come see what this guy said, and then circle around the body like a bunch of buzzards.
Sorry, not falling for your trap. I have seen you and others like you use this exact same tactic, many times over.
You and people like you are the exact reason so many posters have left, along with their money."
When he completes Alinski 101, he'll still find a self righteous victim way to say STFU...but without typing a novelette in the process. ;^)
I am social and fiscal conservative. I bet a lot of people are. You can't believe in social liberalism like sharing the wealth and cradle to grave welfare while being a fiscal conservative.
I would not vote for either of your hypothetical candidates. Of course neither will actually exist.
I've already stated I suspect that some of the more strident anti-Romney newbies may be Obamabot disrupters. How big the infiltrating army might be, I have no idea. I did not know about it being a topic for duscussion at the DailyKos, as I never go there. But I'm not surprised to hear that the effort has been organized.
I know exactly how you feel, but JimRob has now declared a TRUCE, as can be seen at the link at the top of the thread. This thread has now even been placed in "BREAKING NEWS" and that should be proof that things have changed and ABO FReepers will not only NOT get the zot but will be able to express their views.
This was an excruciating primary and shifting FR from FUMR to allowing ABO has been difficult for JR and many like-minded FReepers. Now that ABO FReepers can express their views and use FR to attempt to defeat Barry in swing states, I am strongly inviting you and all ABO FReepers, like me, to reconsider DONATING to this "best on the web" site, especially concerning Barry's ineligibility, which is my highest interest.
I hope that by DONATING and participating on FR eligibility threads I will help spread and increase understanding of the truth about Barry's fraudulent LFBC and other lies and to share and examine updates on Arpaio's Posse findings.
"The threads dont offend me, it is the holier than though attitude from the bigots that offend me."
I agree with you. Especially the bigotry that has been displayed against the Mormon Religion on this site. Romney has enough faults without having to attack his religion. That said GO NEWT GO!
When push comes to shove, which hill would you fight to die on. The Social or Fiscal. Your examples are not social issues, they are fiscal issues. Social issues are abortion, gays, etc. Sharing the wealth and welfare are fiscal issues.
That is your example really?
Wasn't Casey a supporter of Planned Parenthood and donated to them personally?
Perfect.......Once again, you show you have no idea what you are talking about.
I'm done with you.......for today.
Off to go turkey hunting.........
JR is not a RINO, but I think we should wait until after the convention before annointing Romney.
I honestly cannot vote for the man, because he's a nanny-statist and his policies are exactly like Obama's, his judicial and other appointment history as Gov of MA was something like 60% Dem (many of them radicals), and he's a member of a creepy non-Christian cult that forced the Catholic Church in MA to go along with non-Catholic insurance policies (this wouldn't happen now because we have stronger bishops).
However, that said, JR is no RINO, and this gives all of us a forum. DONATE!
To add, those issues go back to FDR, when the whole country had a consensus on the social issues, unlike today.
Same here. I am watching and waiting.
There was a "truce" called, but no apology or admission of injustice.
You can't just bully people to the point of them being ostracized and then just "call a truce." Well you can, but it doesn't mean people will trust you again or feel welcome again.
Thanks to your son for his service to our country.
Off to go turkey hunting
look in the mirror!
Good luck!
I do not believe so, but you could be right. If you do not want to answer, that's ok. It's not mandatory.
I would refuse to fight and die for either of those hypothetical candidates.
Since you are being so black and white, lets make it the Age of Consent and Incest laws being abolished as the social issues, okay?
Candidate A: Redistribute wealth with guaranteed minimum income but opposes legalized child molesting.
Candidate B: Supports decriminalized child molesting but opposes all forms of welfare.
I'd rather have a poor country that isn't okay with diddling kids in school than the other way around if that's what your asking.
There, I will trade you a loaded question for another one.
While it's true that JR has called a truce, I believe you mischaracterize his intent and clearly written words by the second half of your comment, which I bolded above. I wouldn't presume to speak for JR about this, but below is his most recent comment regarding Romney. His comment is 100% consistent with everything I've ever seen JR write about Romney, and it would be hard to characterize it as any kind of support, grudging or otherwise.
JimRob's comment yesterday regarding Romney - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/2880397/posts?page=91#91:
Look, there is no doubt whatsoever about Romney being a liberal progressive. Our pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-constitution, pro-liberty principles mean absolutely nothing to him. Theyre just talking points that he can give lip service to one way or the other. And he has. Hes been on all sides on all issues and back and forth on most. And he lies. A lot. Ive posted at least 10,000 times over the last seven or eight years that I would never vote for this progressive bastard so dont be shocked. Rove screwed the pooch not me.
Yes, JR did not express any support of any kind for Romney.
Oh, don't feel like a love of cats is embarrassing if you're a guy. I don't see them as feminine animals at all. They're cool little tigers, cut down to size....and the most efficient predators of all. You should get on the cat ping list!
You'll put me down for C. Sorry.
I don't see myself as a bigot or trying to set myself up as being holier than thou. The Christian bible (the true Word of God in my belief) clearly teaches us to beware of false prophets and false prophesy and I'm sincerely doubtful of Joseph Smith and his book. Sincerely doubt it's the true Word of God. That's just a fact of life and wouldn't dream of telling other Christians who believe likewise that they cannot express their doubts about this particular subject on FR. And I definitely will not have it promoted and protected as "truth" on FR without allowing criticism.
The one you picked "stubborn and complete intolerance" usually never applies to anything since most folks are usually opposed only to PART of whatever it is you think they are being bigoted about. It's really difficult to find an exception if you think about it hard.

I respond to the loaded question with one of my own.

Jailed Kurdish PKK-rebel chief urges Turkey to resolve Kurdish
Jailed Kurdish PKK-rebel chief urges
Turkey to resolve Kurdish conflict
February 13, 2009
ANKARA, — Kurdish rebel chief Abdullah Ocalan
urged Turkish leaders to spend less time addressing
the Palestinian issue and more on resolving Turkey's
Kurdish conflict, a lawyer said Thursday.
Ocalan made the comments Wednesday during his weekly
meeting with his legal team on the prison island of
Imrali near Istanbul, said lawyer Muharrem Sahin.
Ocalan called for dialogue between Turkey's
government and Kurds as the 10th anniversary of
Ocalan's capture comes up on Feb. 15. Thousands of
Kurds in Turkey and Europe are preparing to protest
his capture.
Sahin quoted Ocalan as saying Turkey's leaders would
have «quickly solved this (Kurdish) problem if they
had diverted some of their concern away from the
Palestinian issue.
There was no immediate comment from the Turkish
which usually refrains
from responding to remarks by Ocalan.
Turkey's Islamic-rooted government has been engaged
in peace-mediating efforts for Gaza, advocating a
policy of engaging the Islamic militant group Hamas,
which has been shunned by Israel, the West and some
Arab nations.
Turkey refuses dialogue with Ocalan's Kurdistan
Workers' Party, or PKK, but has recently granted
more cultural rights to Kurds and launched 24-hour
Kurdish language broadcasts by state television in
line with demands from the European Union.

Cyrus gave MTV what it wanted
Somewhere, MTV execs are cackling in delight.
Thirty years in, the network needed something to make its annual Video Music Awards ceremony the talk of the town. It needed something shocking. Something provocative. Something that would put the VMAs (and, by natural extension, MTV) back in the cultural spotlight.
It needed a defining moment that would ingrain itself into the zeitgeist and provide memorable video clips for years to come.
What MTV got was Miley Cyrus. And did she ever deliver.
The mediasphere has been bubbling over since Sunday night's duet with Robin Thicke, replete with a mash-up of two of the biggest hits of the summer, questionable fashion choices and the opportunity for journalists to use the term "twerk" with impunity, as if it somehow made them in-the-know.
Somewhere between dancing with the giant, drug-addled teddy bears and grinding on a 36-year-old man in a Beetlejuice suit, Miley defined a moment in American double standards that fits the times better than any self-important essay or government report ever could.
Almost every piece of outraged criticism published contains the same thesis: How could this 20-year-old woman -- a mere child, really, they'd like you to think -- dare to strip down to latex undies to simulate sex onstage during a nationally televised event?
These same critics forget that this is an awards show that trades its name on attempts at controversy. The very first broadcast in 1984 featured Madonna writhing around the stage in a wedding dress and singing about sex.
That is no doubt the reaction both Miley and MTV were hoping to elicit. This is a spectacle the ceremony hasn't enjoyed since 2003, when Madonna kissed Britney Spears (and Christina Aguilera, if you recall, which no one does) when Brit was only 21.
What's surprising is that so many people dare to call Cyrus' performance shocking. Finally able to break free of the stranglehold of her Hannah Montana days, she is simply doing what so many young people do -- freaking out while desperately seeking an identity of her own.
The difference is that she's doing it in public, for money, so it's not like this is a surprise. Does anyone know if Miley Cyrus has become a sexual being?
Blame a lot of things for what Miley Cyrus is at the moment, but don't blame Miley.
She can't stop.

Crime Film Swerve Actually Sticks to the Straight-and-Narrow
Colin (David Lyons) has apparently never seen a crime film; otherwise, he'd know that you never take a mysterious briefcase full of cash, unless you're actively interested in courting trouble. To his credit, Colin at least takes said stash of money to the police after he finds it, post-car-crash, in a dead man's vehicle.
Alas, even that good deed is posited by Swerve as a potentially mortal mistake, since local small-town Aussie cop Frank (Zero Dark Thirty's Jason Clarke) turns out to be a raging lunatic, and his wife, Jina (Emma Booth), is an equally untrustworthy femme fatale.
The ensuing mess of complications that ensnare Colin — a bland good guy who claims that "honesty's one of my weak points" — are scripted by writer-director Craig Lahiff with dull intricacy, as Colin's each step leads him further into deadly quicksand.
The photogenic cast's looks far exceed their featureless performances, and any mood of sunshiny malevolence is undercut by too many studied directorial compositions. The contrived plotting reaches a ludicrous peak with Frank effortlessly leaping from an overpass onto the top of a speeding train.
Regardless of its title, it's a film that sluggishly sticks to the neo noir straight-and-narrow.

The folks over at Defense Distributed have successfully fired an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle with a 3D-printed lower receiver. They were able to fire off only six rounds before the part failed, but some would consider that a pretty decent outcome considering it's composed of printed plastic. http://bit.ly/SANIu0

Consumer Division Sales Increase at Beiersdorf
BERLIN — Sales volume of Beiersdorf's cash cow, Nivea, increased 4.4 percent on a currency-adjusted basis to 2.73 billion euros, or $3.57 billion at average exchange, in 2004, the Hamburg-based group said at its annual consumer division press conference on Tuesday.
Overall, Beiersdorf's branded consumer division grew sales 2.7 percent to 3.84 billion euros, or $5.02 billion. At constant exchange rates, divisional sales rose 4.3 percent. The consumer division generates about 84 percent of group turnover and includes skin care brands Nivea, Eucerin, La Prairie, Juvena, Marlies Möller, Labello, Florena and others. It also includes bandages under the Hansaplast, Curad, Curitas and Elastoplast names.
Appearing for the last time as Beiersdorf's board member in charge of the consumer division, Uwe Wölfer, who will retire March 31, underscored the continued success of Beiersdorf's umbrella brand strategy, especially with regard to Nivea. The brand now holds 183 market-leader positions out of a total of 650 possible number one slots, up from 173 in 2003.
"No other brand holds so many number one positions in the world," he declared.
Beiersdorf is taking a similar umbrella approach to its pharmacy-distributed skin care brand, Eucerin, which grew sales 7 percent in 2004. Eucerin achieved double-digit growth in 19 countries in 2004, and is the number one apothecary skin care and skin cleansing brand in Europe, he said. In the prestige segment, the Juvena/La Prairie Group increased currency-adjusted sales to 186 million euros, or $243 million.
Geographically, Asia saw the strongest sales growth, with sales in China increasing by 30 percent and sales in Thailand rising 12 percent. After years of stagnation, the launch of Eucerin body lotion helped sales in Japan grow by 7 percent. Sales in Australia also increased 23 percent.
European sales, excluding Germany, rose 2.1 percent to 1.85 billion euros, or $2.42 billion, and contributed about 50 percent of the division's total sales. Great Britain increased sales 14 percent, Switzerland was up 8 percent, Spain rose 7 percent, Portugal increased 6 percent and Sweden grew 5 percent.
The domestic market remained under the cloud of Germany's economic doldrums and continued consumer reluctance. "5.2 million unemployed does not provide the scenario one needs to build business," Wölfer commented. Overall, the Beiersdorf brands inched up German sales 1 percent to 898 million euros, or $1.17 billion. — Melissa Drier

Givaudan Sales Gain in 2004
PARIS — Swiss flavors and fragrances company Givaudan registered 2004 sales of 2.68 billion Swiss francs, or $2.26 million at average exchange, a 0.4 percent rise year-on-year. In local currencies, sales increased 4 percent in the period.
Givaudan's fragrance division posted sales of 1.07 billion Swiss francs, or $903.3 million, up 1.4 percent over 2003. In local currencies, the gain was 4.8 percent. In a statement, Givaudan attributed the growth to its fine fragrance and consumer products businesses.
Yet, the firm said: "Sales in fragrance ingredients continued to be impacted by the phasing-out of commodity ingredients, consistent with Givaudan's strategy to focus on the production of high value-added fragrance molecules." The company said its program to improve operating margins has been successful "and will deliver additional savings in 2005."
Last year, Givaudan's gross margin rose to 47.8 percent versus 46.1 percent in 2003. Operating profits minus goodwill amortization advanced from 415 million Swiss francs, or $349.4 million, to 484 million Swiss francs, or $407.5 million, resulting in an operating margin of 18.1 percent last year against 15.3 percent in 2003. On a comparable basis, the company's net profits had a 20 percent uptick to 350 million Swiss francs, or $294.6 million. — Jennifer Weil
Inter Parfums Forms Two Divisions
PARIS — Inter Parfums SA has announced a plan for reorganization. Effective March 15, the Paris-based subsidiary of Inter Parfums Inc. will be divided into a Burberry Fragrances division, overseen by Marcella Cacci, and a "luxe and fashion" division — to include the Lanvin, Paul Smith, S.T. Dupont, Christian Lacroix and Celine brands.
This will be headed up by Frederic Garcia-Peylo, formerly associate managing director. Both Cacci and Garcia-Peylo will report to Philippe Benacin, president and chief executive officer of Inter Parfums SA. "Taking into account its size and its growth perspectives, Inter Parfums decided to strengthen its organization," said the company in a statement.

Never too late for an apology
Even in this perpetually coarsening America, we still like to give - and receive - apologies. America is a forgiving nation - a solid, heartfelt "I'm sorry" can ameliorate any number of missteps, from "I'm sorry I ate your egg salad sandwich," to "I'm sorry I used my legislative office to send pictures of my anatomy to random women on Twitter," to "I'm sorry I lit your mustache on fire with my gas grill."
Yet in Wisconsin, there's one area where offering a sincere apology can be a big mistake. Currently, if a medical professional makes an error and offers their patient an "I'm sorry," it can be used as evidence in a malpractice suit - as if the doctor is admitting guilt.
As a young physician, Norman Jensen once gave a patient too much of a blood thinning medicine known as Warfarin. Jensen, who is now emeritus professor of medicine at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, where he has maintained a primary care practice for 40 years, realized his patient had suffered some extra bleeding in her urinary tract as a result of his mistake. He decided to tell the patient he had erred and apologized to her, telling her that his mistake wouldn't cause any long-term damage. "She looked at me and said, 'you know I could sue you for this,'" he recalled. Yet he believes she chose not to sue him because he was forthright and apologetic.
But for most doctors in Wisconsin, being up front with patients once they have made a mistake is a tremendous gamble. Jensen says this is the "essential dilemma" that physicians now face. "Doctors are trained to be compassionate," he said. "Part of our moral, ethical oath is to 'do no harm,' and doctors really take that to heart," adding that when they realize they've made a mistake, "it wounds the doctor's professional soul very deeply."
To date, 36 states have instituted varying forms of "apology" laws that make statements of condolence inadmissible in malpractice cases against doctors. In some states with such laws, medical centers have employed "SWAT teams" that will offer an apology and explanation and work quickly to settle the dispute, even if it calls for a payment to the victim. These medical centers have found that being able to offer condolences has kept down malpractice insurance costs, as people who hear an apology are less likely to sue. "Most people sue because they're angry at their health care workers, not necessarily because they were injured," said Jensen, who believes a sincere apology can ameliorate much of that rancor.
In the last Wisconsin legislative session, a "doctor apology" bill was introduced and passed the state Assembly, but stalled in the state Senate. The bill, which is expected to be re-introduced in the upcoming year, would have given Wisconsin one of the nation's strongest doctor apology laws, as it would exempt an expression of "apology, benevolence, compassion, condolence, fault, liability, remorse, responsibility, or sympathy to a patient or patient's relative" from any malpractice lawsuit.
Yet in both houses last session, legislative Democrats attempted to weaken the bill, removing the terms "fault" and "liability" from the exempted physician actions. The practical result of just a change, which was urged by the state's trial lawyer organization, would be that doctors could express sympathy for their patients, but not actually say what they were apologizing for. Physicians would be forced to offer the much-dreaded celebrity "non-apology," where they say things like "I'm sorry if people may have taken offense to whatever it was I did."
Twenty-five states have "sympathy only" laws that retain the legal admissibility of an admission of fault, while six states fully exempt admissions of fault from malpractice lawsuits. But a September 2010, article in the Health Affairs medical journal concludes that "sympathy only" laws are fairly ineffective, as they continue to stifle patient-doctor communication.
While malpractice lawsuits themselves may not be a major problem in Wisconsin, the threat of lawsuits harms the doctor-patient relationship. It only takes that one bombshell lawsuit for a doctor to be ruined; as a result, they behave in a much less personal way that they may have in years gone by. Passing a strong doctor apology bill in Wisconsin can begin to repair this strained relationship.
And if this column wasn't satisfactory, I am sorry. My attorney is on call.

The Ecosystemic Model and Workbook
Print book
Play Therapy: Treatment Planning and Interventions: The Ecosystemic Model and Workbook, 2e, provides key information on one of the most rapidly developing and growing areas of therapy. Ecosystemic play therapy is a dynamic integrated therapeutic model for addressing the mental health needs of children and their families. The book is designed to help play therapists develop specific treatment goals and focused treatment plans as now required by many regulating agencies and third-party payers. Treatment planning is based on a comprehensive case conceptualization that is developmentally organized, strength-based, and grounded in an ecosystemic context of multiple interacting systems.
The text presents guidelines for interviewing clients and families as well as pretreatment assessments and data gathering for ecosystemic case conceptualization. The therapist's theoretical model, expertise, and context are considered. The book includes descriptions of actual play therapy activities organized by social-emotional developmental levels of the children. Any preparation the therapist may need to complete before the session is identified, as is the outcome the therapist may expect. Each activity description ends with a suggestion about how the therapist might follow up on the content and experience in future sessions. The activity descriptions are practical and geared to the child. Case examples and completed sections of the workbook are provided. It provides the therapist with an easy-to-use format for recording critical case information, specific treatment goals, and the overall treatment plan. Workbook templates can be downloaded and adapted for the therapist's professional practice.

After masterminding the attacks of September 11, 2001, Osama bin Laden managed to vanish. Over the next ten years, as Bowden shows, America found that its war with al Qaeda a scattered group of individuals who were almost impossible to track demanded an innovative approach. Step by step, Bowden describes the development of a new tactical strategy to fight this war the fusion of intel from various agencies and on-the-ground special ops. After thousands of special forces missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, the right weapon to go after bin Laden had finally evolved. By Spring 2011, intelligence pointed to a compound in Abbottabad; it was estimated that there was a 50/50 chance that Osama was there. Bowden shows how three strategies were mooted: a drone strike, a precision bombing, or an assault by Navy SEALs. In the end, the President had to make the final decision. It was time for the finish.
From Mark Bowden, internationally bestselling and acclaimed author of Black Hawk Down and the preeminent chronicler of the actions of our military and special forces writing today, comes an intensely gripping account of the hunt for and elimination of Osama bin Laden. With unprecedented access to key sources and his great gift for storytelling, Bowden takes us inside the rooms where decisions were made and on the ground where the action unfolded.
The story focuses on Bin Laden, who maintained a stream of despairing correspondence in hiding in the year before his death, and on President Obama, perceived by many as an anti-war candidate, whose evolving views and enormous responsibilities have turned him into one of the most determined warriors to ever inhabit the White House.
Bowden's book is an unrivaled account of the most high-profile special forces operation ever to have been undertaken, and a page-turning narrative of how the man behind 9/11 was finally brought to justice.

This review is from: MSI Radeon R9 290 DirectX 11.2 R9 290 4GD5 (V803) 4GB 512-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
Pros: -Runs BF4 and most other new games on max settings with ease.
-AMD was on top of the beta drivers so this card worked well out of the box using drivers off website.
-Great for heating up my room
-I felt safer about using the card once I used MSI Afterburner to setup a more agressive fan profile. For me it was about 70% fan speed for 70c while intensive gaming. Sure it was louder but I had headphones on.
Cons: It would really be nice if AMD would have put a more aggressive fan profile on UBER mode because it's annoying to have to run MSI Afterburner 24/7 in the background just to keep the card from overheating. Mine would climb to 100c if I left it alone.
Other Thoughts: Great card but bad cooling. More aggressive fan profile encoded in to bios would be better for 5 stars.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Logitech Z553 40 watts 2.1 Speakers
Pros: Decided to take a chance with refurbished speakers since these were a great price and what I wanted. The sound is better than I would expect, not as tinny as most models around this price range. The system was in a box with good packaging and had no marks on anything. Everything is working like normal.
Cons: Subwoofer could be a little louder. Somewhat quiet on this system.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Corsair Carbide Series Air 540 (CC-9011030-WW) Black Steel / Plastic ATX Cube High Airflow Cube Case
Pros: I really liked building in this case. It made me want to buy new hardware just so I could work in it again. I have big hands so I really appreciate a case like this that was so easy to work with.
-Very roomy to work in
-Don't need screws for HDD or SSD installation
-Fan filters for the main part
Cons: The front connectors almost didn't reach my motherboard. Felt like I had to pull on the cords to get it to reach an Asus p8z77-v pro.
There's no fan filter for the PSU so I had to put my own there.

If your "rumor" is correct...
What's stupid about honoring contracts ??
Oh right, you want something for nothing...
I sure feel sorry for ANYONE who gives you lending credit.
You HAVE NO HONOR, under any moniker.
787 flying, moniker mutt's lying.

But whether those payments are REAL, ill-timed or not, employee bonuses in general are on the rise, experts sayand for good reason.
Some 72% of employers gave workers incentive bonuses last year, up from 53% in 2010, according to a survey by PayScale, a provider of compensation data and software.What the bonus does is it allows you to retain the employees that are most vital to the business, says Tim Low, vice president of marketing for PayScale. While the IRS is legally obligated to issue the bonuses, because of union contracts, the rewards do have the added benefit of helping with employee retention during a period of furloughs, budget cuts and a shrinking workforce, Low says.(Some tax experts say investigations of how the IRS singled out certain groups, combined with the budget cuts, could take a toll on enforcement.)The IRS will face the same challenges that other large organizations face, says Low.Which is that if they have to do more with less, they want to keep the employees they have.
Bonuses have become instrumental in helping companies maintain their staffs as the improving economy gives some employees incentive to look elsewhere, says Low. Companies are roughly twice as likely to give bonuses that reward performances as they are to issue hiring bonuses, the study found. And incentive bonuses are more common with large employers, with 82% of such companies awarding them in 2012, compared with 66% of small companies. Such bonuses remain more common for people working in the finance and insurance, science and tech industries, the survey found.
Many employers are also bumping up salaries, with 85% of companies saying they plan to give workers raises this year. The majority of those companies, or 56%, said their main reason for giving raises was to reward performance, up from 48% in 2012, according to PayScale.

The Treasury Department has admitted for the first time that confidential tax records of several political candidates and campaign donors were improperly scrutinized by government officials, but the Justice Department has declined to prosecute any of the cases.
Its investigators also are probing two allegations that the Internal Revenue Service targeted for audit candidates for public office, the Treasurys inspector general for tax administration, J. Russell George, has privately told Sen. Chuck Grassley.

IRS manual detailed DEA's use of hidden intel evidence:
Details of a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration program that feeds tips to federal agents and then instructs them to alter the investigative trail were published in a manual used by agents of the Internal Revenue Service for two years.
The practice of recreating the investigative trail, highly criticized by former prosecutors and defence lawyers after Reuters reported it this week, is now under review by the Justice Department. Two high-profile Republicans have also raised questions about the procedure.

The IRS has no SHAME.
The Internal Revenue Service is targeting the veterans organization the American Legion, and a U.S. senator believes that Lois Lerner a key figure in the IRS scandal is to blame.
The IRS now requires American Legion posts to maintain dates of service and character of service records for all members The penalty for not having the required proof of eligibility is, apparently,$1,000 per day, the American Legion stated.

Wedding days always overflow with love, but Namie and Levi's wedding seemed to overflow more than others. The very romantic and sweet couple were soaked in love for each other as well as the loving support of their happy family and friends.
But there were many unique circumstances throughout the day.
I arrived at the Bride's sisters house at 7 in the morning, and not only was the bride doing her own hair and make-up for the Vietnamese ceremony, but she was also doing the flower girl-cousin's hair, and she still managed to be the first person ready!!! The glowing bride Looking onto the Groom's family's arrival from the upstairs window. The Vietnamese procession, bearing gifts for the brides' family.Mother of the Bride and Groom Wedding Jewelery Mother and DaughterI had never seen 5 priests presiding a wedding either… The Couple had fun with a blue mustang, they wanted a red one, but if we had a red one, the next image wouldn't have popped so much~ The couple's touching slide show explained the inside 'saying'The Groom's grand entrance. The wedding party changed shoes for the reception except for the Bride. Mother of Groom helping with the change French cousin, Thierry and gf put on an incredible dance show. Brides talented sister was the wedding florist AND cake artist. See her info below.

...then cancel my order.....
There was a time when Papa John's pizza was quite good. Then they had to cut corners to stay in the same price point as Domino's and Pizza Hut.
But of course they don't taste like the cardboard and tomato sauce pizza you get at Little Ceaser's.
John Schnatter also said:
"When I go out for pizza I sure as hell don't eat at Papa John's!"
Source: The San Francisco Call, June 31, 2012
Gotta get new glasses...
Thought it said mosquitoes.
Papa John's sauce is to sweet, don't care for it. As far as I am concerned the best mass produced pizza for the price is at Costco, only problem no delivery. Have you ever tried to order Papa Johns on line?, not user friendly.
We gave up on store bought prepared pizzas (such as Papa John's, Dominoes, etc.) a long time ago. We buy plain cheese pizzas from the commissary or grocery store and "redo" them to our liking. With the cost of the pizza and the added tailored ingredients, they cost about $4 - $5 and are a hell of a lot better.
Additionally, Papa Johns and all of the rest of the pizza hustlers will be increasing their costs because of Obamacare ... maybe not specifically identifying the cost per se, but they will be increasing the cost and you, the customer, will be eating it, not Papa John.
"Sitrick and Co. chair Mike Sitrick said Mr. Schnatter did not claim that stores would close due to Obamacare costs, and that while he did admit during an investor telephone call that food prices could increase, he also explained the company sold enough pizzas to absorb health care costs."
The term "absorb" (above) is a code term to those that understand business. Business NEVER 'absorbs' new costs - they pass it on. Typically, and no doubt in this case, they will have to raise their prices somewhat (or cut back on their product...same thing). So what happens? Less sales, hence the need for less workers and less stores.
That is how business works. Liberal leaders know that FULL WELL, but still hate the idea of independent businesses.

Law Professors Push White House to Grant Administrative Relief to DREAMers
Michele Waslin: This week, DREAMERS got a huge boost from 96 law professors who sent a letter to President Obama outlining the extensive authority under law that his administration holds to halt deportations of DREAMers.
Will Obama's Job Speech End Political Gamesmanship?
Anthony Samad: I'll be curious to find out how many people were hired from the CBC job fairs around the country. Or was it another "smoke and mirrors" engagement to make politicians look good?
Our Hope for Change Still Not Fulfilled
Walter Brasch: After significant compromise with the recalcitrant Republicans who want to continue to give the wealthy tax advantages while cutting significant social programs, President Obama has finally taken a stand on debt ceiling negotiations. However, in labor, wildlife management, and the environment he is still compromising rather than coming out forcefully for the principles he and the working class and environmentalists believe.
Obama: His Home Is Not My Home
Carl Bloice: The problem is that the President is now ignoring the wise counsel of those who are saying clearly and forcefully that this "deficit reduction" business is a shuck.

History of MMSA
The Minnesota Middle School Association (MMSA) was established in 1978 to serve as an education resource for teachers, administrators, parents, and community members who are concerned about the developmental need of young adolescents in grades five through nine. The Association is governed by up to 25 members on the board of directors who represent different regions around the state. MMSA is a non-profit organization that extends its membership to anyone interested in middle level education.
State Conference
Each year in December the MMSA invites teachers and administrators from across the Midwest to experience some of the highest quality presentations provided by educators who practice middle level philosophy. This conference is recognized as the best place to find ideas that can be implemented immediately in the classroom.
Workshops and Training
MMSA is committed to helping organize workshops and training sessions on a variety of middle level topics. MMSA can also provide a list of successful middle level schools in the state that you may visit or call on for information to further strengthen your own school programs.
Newsletters and Middle School Information
Each member receives access to newsletters during the year that provide information on current topics in middle level education. Past newsletters have featured articles from teachers, counselors, administrators, and college professors shared their ideas, experiences, and expertise. The newsletters will also keep you up-to-date on events around the state and country.
Publications are sold at our publications booth the two days of our annual state conference. Attendees are able to look at books, purchase and take them home that day. A wide variety of middle school and curriculum orientated books are chosen each year. Also, a wide range of publications are available through the Association of Middle Level Education (AMLE)
MMSA recognizes individuals and educators who have demonstrated outstanding service and commitment to quality education for young adolescents. The Coleen Yatckoske Award is presented annually to an exemplary middle level educator. Distinguished service awards are also presented to deserving members at the spring banquet.

Ledger, who was promoting Brokeback Mountain with Williams and costars Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway, said of his new family: "I'm so proud. I just fall deeper and deeper in love with both my girls."
Williams, 25, and Ledger, 26, who became a couple while filming the cowboy love story, welcomed Matilda on Oct. 28, 2005
Of the baby, former Dawson's Creek star Williams said, "She looks like her dad." On the duties of motherhood, she added: "We started promoting the movie about three weeks after she was born, which was too soon. I'm just learning lessons now, like learning how to be a working mom."
But when Winfrey asked the couple how they fell in love, it was Gyllenhaal who jumped in to answer. "We made out," he said, referring to his onscreen kiss with Ledger, "and they had a baby."
Slightly more serious, Gyllenhaal recalled, "I remember being in rehearsal, and the two of them had googly eyes with each other." On the Calgary, Canada, movie set, he explained, "There were four trailers, and then suddenly there were three" – because Ledger and Williams started sharing a trailer.
"There were sparks immediately," added Hathaway. "It was adorable."
