Hershey CEO weighing next steps in China

HERSHEY, Pennsylvania (Reuters) - Hershey Co , which just agreed to buy out its joint venture partner in India, is weighing its next step in China.

The U.S. candy maker owns a factory in China with South Korea's Lotte Shopping Co Ltd . Current demand for the two companies' products uses 90 percent of the factory's capacity and Hershey Chief Executive John Bilbrey sees it exceeding that very soon.

"We're looking now at what do we do next. Do we joint venture again on an additional factory or do we build our own factory? Do we do it in Southeast Asia? We haven't answered that question," Bilbrey said in an interview at the company headquarters in Hershey, Pennsylvania, ahead of a new factory opening.

Hershey just spent $300 million to modernize and double the size of a factory less than 2 miles from where its founder Milton Hershey opened his first chocolate factory in 1905.

The updated factory, which opens officially on Tuesday, can make 70 million Hershey's Kisses a day, up from roughly 40 million before.

As for China, Bilbrey said another option could be to move into Lotte's other factories there, space-permitting.

"I think we know enough to build (a factory) on our own, but that may not be the most financially viable way to do it," Bilbrey said. He expects to make a decision over the next 12 to 18 months.

Many international joint ventures are structured with eventual exit plans. So Bilbrey said it was no surprise when Hershey moved earlier this month to buy out its Indian partner, Godrej Consumer Products .

"We learned a lot from them. They were good partners," he said. "But food is not a core competency for them. We got ourselves to where it would be better for us to go on our way."

Just because Hershey bought out its Indian partner does not mean it will buy out all its partners, Bilbrey said. Referring to a Brazilian venture Hershey has with Bauducco Foods, he said he had no reason to believe that relationship will change.

"That may go on in perpetuity because it's good for them," Bilbrey said of the Brazilian maker of panettone - an Italian holiday cake. Since Bauducco's business is seasonal, it helps to have a partner to share the factory's costs, he said.

Along the same lines, Hershey is currently building a distribution center in Canada with Italy's Ferrero.

Hershey has forecast 2012 sales of about $6.5 billion, with about 15 percent of that coming from international markets. By 2017, Hershey expects revenue of about $10 billion, with international sales accounting for about 20 percent.

Growth of the company's existing brands, such as Reese's, Kit Kat, Twizzlers and Jolly Rancher, should bring the company to about $9.3 billion, Bilbrey said. The remainder should come from acquisitions.

"We actively look all the time," said Bilbrey, whose favorite candy bars are Hershey's Milk Chocolate with Almonds and PayDay.

Acquisition targets could include brands in international markets or in the United States, in candy or in adjacent categories such as snack bars or other nutritional products.

In December 2011, Hershey agreed to acquire Canada's Brookside Foods, which makes chocolate-covered jelly candies.

Those candies, made with fruits like acai and pomegranate, are currently sold only in Canada and in U.S. Costco Wholesale Corp stores. But Hershey plans to roll them out widely across the United States, starting in January.

Chael Sonnen still training for Jon Jones, just in case

Chael Sonnen wants a fight with Jon Jones. He talked smack to the light heavyweight champ before Dan Henderson's pre-UFC 151 injury, he stepped up for a fight to try to save UFC 151, and he continued to needle Jones in the wake of UFC 151's cancellation.

Even now, with the fight less than a week away, he continues to train just in case Vitor Belfort pulls out of Saturday's UFC 152 bout. UFC president Dana White told USA Today that Sonnen is in fight camp.

"Chael Sonnen is in full training camp right now," White said. "He's been training since he got offered the Jones fight. He said, 'I'm in full camp right now because Vitor will get hurt and pull out, and it will be Jones vs. Sonnen, anyway."

Bravo, Chael. It's one thing to talk trash about how he will be ready in case Belfort pulls out of the fight with Jones. It's quite another to still train and prepare for a fight that isn't booked. That's not idle trash-talking.

NATO halts work with Afghan allies to stem insider attacks

KABUL (Reuters) - NATO ordered a cutback on Tuesday on operations alongside Afghan forces in response to a surge of "insider attacks" on foreign servicemen, a move that could complicate plans to hand security over to Afghan forces ahead of a 2014 drawdown.

The order, issued by the second most senior U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Lieutenant-General James Terry, indefinitely suspends joint operations for units smaller than 800-strong battalions, where most training and mentoring takes place.

"The need for that will be evaluated on a case by case basis and approved by regional commanders," said Major Adam Wojack, a spokesman for the 100,000-strong NATO-led coalition backing the Afghan government against Taliban insurgents.

The order, Wojack said, would impact on the "vast majority" of the 350,000 Afghan National Security Force members who will now have to operate without support from coalition allies. That will deal a blow to NATO's longstanding focus on training.

At least 51 foreign troops have been killed in "insider" attacks this year, in which Afghan police officers have turned their weapons on their Western mentors. That represents a spike of more than 40 percent on similar incidents throughout 2011.

The order was issued after successive weekend attacks by Afghan police left six foreign soldiers dead in the volatile south, from where the Taliban draws most support.

Wojack said Afghan forces had already taken responsibility for security operations in many areas, including districts with a strong insurgent presence, while operations could be approved on a case-by-case basis.

"This does not mean there will be no partnering below that level," he said.

The attacks have already prompted several coalition members, including France, to speed up or review plans to withdraw troops ahead of the 2014 timetable for most combat forces, as agreed by the government's Western backers.

Afghan commanders were not told of the order until Tuesday, in a hurried meeting with NATO counterparts. That underscored a scramble among coalition countries to contain the damage caused by insider attacks both on frontline troop morale and on fading support at home for the 11-year war.

"We haven't heard officially from foreign forces about it," Afzal Aman, head of operations for the Afghan defense department, told Reuters.

REDUCED SUPPORT FOR AFGHAN MILITARY OPERATIONS

The order to curtail joint operations would hobble support from NATO for Afghan military operations at a time when the Taliban were stepping up attacks, Aman said, including a raid on a major coalition base in Helmand on Friday which destroyed more than $200 million worth of Harrier fighter jets.

"It will have a negative impact on our operations. Right now, foreign forces help us in air support, carrying our personnel, wounded and dead out of the battlefields, in logistics and training," he said.

The order still allows major joint operations above battalion size to take place, but these are less frequently conducted than smaller platoon and squad-size missions.

It could also complicate tense negotiations between Washington and Kabul on a deal to keep some special forces and trainers in the country after 2014, a sensitive topic for Afghans embittered by continued civilian deaths and more than a decade of war.

Officials from both sides had hoped to conclude a deal by early next year, but Afghan President Hamid Karzai this week accused Washington of breaching previous security agreements underpinning the talks.

Karzai's office also denounced a NATO weekend airstrike which killed at least eight women collecting firewood east of the capital at the weekend.

"This is not a happy day for the coalition," said an ISAF official, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Major Pointers On After-School Lessons

Through the ages, education has been a major priority to the society. No matter which medium we use, we all have a unique way of understanding and implementing the skills achieved. Some students have a common tendency to perform well even after spending a whole day in school. We are not supposed to rush and start blame games because at the end of the day you have done nothing to solve the problem.

It might be an issue with the teachers or even the student. As you venture into finding the right solution, you have to think of a guardian that will act on your behalf and help your child learn and understand each of the subjects. A helper in tutoring can be of good help. When hiring one, look out for one that can perform the following practices.

Availability: The tutor must not only rely on material at hand, but also try to engage the student in discussions. Students always like to be associated with someone who is social. This is achieved by setting programs that involve interactions like forums.

Timekeeper: A delay in any topic can cause chaos and the students will soon become unsettled. Being punctual will send a message to the students and they will emulate you.

Have an open mind: As you teach, try to use examples they can rely on and engage them through writing and answering questionnaires.

Well organized: He/she must be able to set schedules and can explain clearly what he intends to teach.

What are the benefits of a tutor?

There is constant one-on-one attention when you deal with a tutor. Here, you can learn the weak and strong points in an easier way. It is also an environment where a student can learn how to express his or her needs. There is also a progressive aid, whereby the tutor can help the student learn about the subject they perform poorly and maximize on it.

The environment is relaxing. For those students that have a fear and cannot express themselves among a large crowd, this area creates an ideal point where they can exercise self-esteem.

However, some homes cannot accommodate a tutor. This makes you as a guardian look for a tutoring center. It is an enclosure where learning is to subsidize the schoolwork mistakes. They have qualified tutors who offer extra coaching sessions. It is also an environment where a parent and the tutor can easily share matters about the progress of the student. You can also have the opportunity to hire a specific tutor who can help solve the problem your child is facing.
