bottom half, maryland with the bases loaded, john paul walsh takes one for the club.ch. tied 1-1. brady peer lays down a perfect bunt. scored the game-winning run. moptgomry county, maryland to face japan sunday for the international championship game. after the game last night against the lions, halfway through the spren we have a pretty good idea who locked up what position when it comes to starters anyway except for one, kicker. john harbaugh has a tough call to make about ma to do with billy cundiff. cundiff kicked well friday night 26789 for 2, and this one from 44. also good from 33. but there remains a question how cundiff will truly recover following the miss in the a.f.c. title game. and he's doing his best to make him ponder. more accurate in practice and perfect in the game so far, 50-yarder. kickoffs part of the equation. still too early to call a winner in this race. >> try to tell him we didn't want the ball kicked out of the end zone. we wanted to cover kicks as much as they could. and they were pulling back and took five-yard approaches and still pound

here first on cnbc is paul walsh, the ceo of diageo joins us from london this morning.u with us. good morning. fascinating way the company has positioned itself around the world. you have torrid growth in emerging markets like latin america. well positioned in the u.s. for any improvement here. is the overriding concern still western europe, the periphery there? >> well, i think first of all you're right. we operate in 180 countries around the world. 40% of our sales are coming from the new high growth markets. where we continue to see double digit growth. and we expect that trend to continue. the u.s. is strong. so in aggregate we reported an 11% increase in operating profit and 13% growth in eps. regarding western europe, i think europe is what it is. we shouldn't expect it to change anytime soon. we saw a small contraction in sales but our profits actually increased in europe. we just have to be alert to growth opportunities, to offset what our inevitable structural declines in certain european markets. we believe we can do that. >> all right. sales of spirits, up 12

diageo, paul walsh, expanding their presence in india. early movers on wall street, igt up 4.5%. >>> take a look at the dow heat map. disney leading laggard down by 5%. green there, microsoft making a big move. top left hand corner of your screen. that corner there. it is higher, though, right now by 1.25%. >> yeah. looking for -- for various reasons. big time of the year for video games. halo gets talked about a lot this week. we'll see if we can get clarity. we haven't talked much about china. what a coincidence on the second day of their communist party congress we get great numbers on industrial production, on retail sales, on fixed as set investment. shanghai doesn't like it. maybe stimulus less likely? >> as soon as great numbers came out, china fell on great numbers. i think the chinese government wants to get employment back. they want to be able -- they really want to get gross domestic -- the chinese buyers of stocks may be underrating the firepower of the chinese government. i want to go with china not against it. buy china ind

we're joined now first on cnbc by paul walsh. paul, good to see you again.ing a billion euros over the next five years in scotch whiskey production. that's a lot of money to be investing at a time when we hear that the crisis is still raging. >> yeah. actually it's a billion pounds. this will serve to increase our capacity in distillation and will allow us to continue to serve the new consumers in the new markets and continue the attractive growth rates that we've seen for the scotch whiskey category. >> paul, that investment will add something like 100 jobs, maybe add 100 more positions for apprenticeships across the region. good news on that front. sthnt for you twice to save face after that bru-ha-ha of sorts in the local brewery competition just a little while ago? >> oh, i think that is quite an irrelevant versus the magnitude of went out today. i can assure the plans we're outlining today have been in the works for a long, long time. the other thing i would say about the job front is that bear in mind the nature of our business is that for every job we

more to the point, here's is paul walsh, vice president of weather analyticth at the weather company. paul, what's the threat here? what's the strategic threat? >> larry, we've done analysis and it's been done in the academic literature that shows when the weather's bad, it generally favors republicans. it's really a function of demographics and being able to get out and get to vote. historically, that has been a benefit. what we're seeing now for tomorrow is that it's going to be raining in northern florida. probably rain morgue than it was in 2000. in 2000 with the gore v. bush race so tight, there are some that say the rain in northern florida might have played a part in the outcome of that election. >> paul, let me just ask you, because i had senator rubio on. i asked him directly about northern florida. i asked him about the panhandle. i guess from jacksonville right over to the panhandle. now, that's republican territory. >> right. >> you're saying in this case, if there's a big rainstorm, the republicans may get washed out. >> no, actually, it's more beneficial for republicans

the weather channel's paul walsh joins us with the business impact here. paul, the holidays are a crucial time for many businesses. who is being impacted the most weekend? >> yeah. interestingly maria, the weather this year is largely impacting business by the weather last year. the weather last year was incredibly warm, incredibly dry. any type of weather that we have this year threatens store traffic and also demand. so the draco impact, although limbed to the chicago area, may be more significant than you would normally think because of the fact that we've got such a difficult comparison to last year's balmy winter weather. >> what about retail, are you seeing positives on that end or is this going to hurt retail? >> no, i think the timing of the storm actually is pretty good for retail. tomorrow the weather is going to be clear for most major markets. it's the last weekend before christmas. and there is going to be plenty of availability for people to go in will be good. i think the restaurant sector may have it more difficult in december because, again

. >> weather channel's paul walsh looking at how saentd's latest path will lead to a domino effect down the road. what can you tell us? >> the storm is moving in. up with of the things that's ironic about the timing of the storm is that prior to the storm hitting, this weekend, specifically saturday, we saw very, very strong traffic. thap compared to last year when the snowtober storm hit. i would dpop see a little upside when retail sales come out. november, game over. it looks like we'll lose the first week of retail sales for the largest retailers in the northeast. >> what about -- let's talk about that. you're saying we have a bit of an upside but when we look at november numbers, the numbers are right in sandy's cross hairs. >> absolutely. what impact do you think this has on retail sales? >> citigroup was out with an analysis they did. they expect that in november we could see a 2% or 3% drop in specialty retailers of folks not selling. goods you need in front of a hurricane. the traffic hit is going to be very, very strong this week. that's because of the weather. now, probably m

hot heat is expected to continue, so what is in store for buyers and sellers in joining us is paul walshl. good to have you on the show. we've heard about the potential impact of corn crops. what about the consumer, what does a heat wave do to the consumer? >> it's an interesting time to have this sort of a heat wave where people will be out and about for the fourth of july holiday. the fact that we've lost power to 2 million people is going to impact people in terms of their ability to get out and about. but it in some ways from a retail perspective, there may be an up sight where people will be actually going to the malls just to keep cool and have something to do.sight where people will b actually going to the malls just to keep cool and have something to do. >> do they actually buy, does it translate into dollars for the retailer themselves? >> not necessarily. the sweet spot in terms of the weather driving sales is generally in the earlier spring and earlier in the fall. so it's not necessarily a benefit in that term. but the fact that you might have more people in a store at least

the weather channel's paul walsh is here.hose are the numbers you get up in a high rise in the middle of the city. >> extremely strong winds for the northeast. this low pressure system is now the lowest on record. >> and that's significant why? low pressure is what's -- >> that's what is giving us the strong winds, really strong gradeients. even though the storm has been classified as a non-tropical event, not downgraded, no longer tropical. what we're calling at the weather channel a superstorm. >> that's out in queens area there, sort of behind where the storm is at this point, northeast of the storm. >> right. >> is that typical of what you get in the north side of a storm is where you're going to get most of the wind anyway is. >> and the right quadrant so that basically is this area. it's just now moving through, so we're getting into the strongest part of the winds which is why we're seeing, of course, with the high tide also the flooding that we're seeing now with, you know, the folks up in that area. >> we're talking

. >>> let's get to the weather channel's paul walsh with some of the numbers on sandy's likely retailmpact. thanks for putting in long days. we know the usual suspects are being sold out. water, booze, whatever. what else do you expect to sell? >> interestingly, the storm hit, and where the threat of the storm came in overlapped where the snowtober storm happened last year. that saturday, the last day of the fiscal october last year got hit by the storm. this year they got hit by the rush of people coming in to actually buy the stuff they needed. there's a tail wind for october. i would expect when retail results come out on thursday, there might be a benefit. >> tail wind for october incomes and headwind for november numbers because we're pulling ahead demand and for some these are unplanned purchases, right? >> yes. >> they are not expected so eating into someone's budget they might otherwise use later in the year. >> we go into november and we have potential for massive power outages. fiscal reports saying this could have a 2% to 3% impact on retail same store sales for the special

joining us once again is paul walsh, vice president of weather analytics for the weather channel.at -- you have what he a chance to crunch some of these numbers. yesterday, we talked about retail. >> yep. >> today, you are taking a broader look what are you coming up with in terms of the impact? >> so i have been talking to some economists out there and sort of getting their senses, early days, of course, but chatted with mark zandi yesterday. they are estimating that binds the location where the storm hit, probably cost the is economy about $150 to $20 billion, $10 billion per day. wells fargo thinking it could be a .1 to .2% impact on q 4 gdp. >> now, there's the rebuilding, of course, which might offset some of that. >> yep. >> but that takes a while to be impacted and to be really factored into the equation, right? >> i talked to someone yesterday who is thinking we will see a benefit when we go into 2013 and 2014 increasing his growth estimates for 2013 and bringing down unemployment outlook based on the effects bound to happen as the money starts to flow in and rebuild beyon

we had a slowdown. >> let's bring paul walsh into this conversation from the weather channel. you look at what's been happening with the storm and what that means for retail sales, what's it going to mean this time around? >> it's very interesting. the leadup to the storm which is generally positive for retail in general from a traffic perspective, this year it actually topped snowtober from last year. the weekend traffic was phenomenal. >> because people knew the storm was coming. >> because we're so late into the hurricane season and into fall, that traffic i think benefited more than just the home centers and the usual suspects. i think there's probably a lot of people even in the malls so the net on a comp basis, the storm was positive for october retail sales. >> people were in the malls? canned goods i get but in the malls buying clothing? >> probably a halo effect. we are in fall. predictions are that it will turn cold afterwards. there was more benefit than would normally be in the middle of hurricane season simply because there is more people out shopping buying thing

and here on "squawk on the street" is the company's ceo paul walsh, this morning from london. . good morning to?0gq you. good quarter, although the cfo talks about -- and i'll put it in his words, we don't want to declare victory and say growth will accelerate as there are too many factors in the world that could impact consumer confidence. can you elaborate in the uncertainty you're seeing largely out of europe this year? >> well, first of all, we're very pleased with the numbers we've posted. 7% growth on the top line, 9% growth and a 16% increase in eps. so a good first half. now, what we're trying to do here is show we expect the trends to continue, but we would not advise people to assume that they will accelerate. and that's what's meant by not declaring victory. sure, europe is a tough market, in aggregate we expect it to remain flat. we're seeing good progress in the united states, the economy there seems to be progressively improving, and, of course, 40% of our business is in the emerging markets. and we've seen an 18% growth on the top line from these very dynamic, e

then my big break, of course, they came at stanford university. >> paul brown's loss was stanford's game. under walsh, they won successive bowl games. parallelling the 49ers team, declining to the league's depths. under the new owner, unpopular general manager, they went through three coaches in two years. >> they asked me when i first went to stanford if i would be the head coach of the 49ers. of course, i had nothing to do with it. but then they decided that they needed to revamp the whole thing and i was right there. and we met. and we made it happen. >> reporter: but not right away. walsh's first team equaled the franchise record for the fertility at 2-14. and the following season, the ninners were 6-10. then in 1981, the 49ers, they didn't stop until they had won the city of san francisco's first world championship. >> to win it all, it means a difference. and to our society if you come in second that it is not that good, you know. it might be years later, but it's at that moment that you're the loser if you lose that game. and we managed to win those games all the way on through. >> reporter: n

. >> paul walsh joining us talking weather analytics said we knew the storm was coming for a week. it gives retail sales a boost for the month. >> that's a good point. >> this was the most widely telegraphed frankenstorm hearing about it monday of last week. i was at a walmart yesterday doing checking. i think they are buying things. here's one. i'll give you one. a huge amount of business trying to get the company to be more outdoor. coleman lanterns. someone will say they probably sold a lot of coleman lanterns. they sell toasters and they dvi. many are not a one-trick pony. when you say i want to buy vf corps because they have northface jackets, things are not as simple as they used to be. there's not a pure play. not an umbrella play. >> at this time normally if the stock markets were open, we would talk about earnings. we're still in earning season. companies postponed the earnings released from this morning to later on in the week because of the storm. we're talking about names like pfizer and those have all postponed earnings releases because of hurricane sandy. watch for th

joining us now from the weather channel is paul walsh. >> and well-known orange juice drinker. >> that'sight. paul, we all start to worry when we start to see some of these potential hurricanes tracking and wondering where they are headed. what do you think in terms of what it means for florida at this point? >> you know, the track is starting to slowly move a bit to the west so we're starting to see it trend towards, more towards the center part of the gulf. florida definitely still under the gun. definitely going to be impacts as people begin to prepare. florida hasn't had a really strong hit in a long time. that's going to have an immediate impact on consumers. usual suspect, home centers, the big box, mass merchandisers will see an influx of traffic as we move into the weekend. but it remains to be seen. we have to watch this one very closely. >> when will we know how bad it will be. what's the timing you expect us to figure that out? >> as we move into the weekend, it will get more clear. track of the storm, again, has been shifting a little bit to the left and the intensity forecas

ron paul had campaigned hard in walsh and looks like he will finish second with rick santorum a close third. this is romney's fourth straight victory and brian moore reports he also picked up a key endorsement in ohio ahead of super tuesday. >> we, the president who knows the economy needs to fix the economy. >> mitt romney rallied his supporters on this saturday afternoon in a big town hall in dayton and he picked up the endorsement of ohio's largest newspaper, the plane dealer of cleveland. papers show that rick santorum seems to have the momentum. >> this is a marathon, not a sprint. we'll keep working and doing well and we feel this race is flair rowing like it should be. >> while newt gingrich has to win his home state of georgia, ron paul is more interested in adding to the delegate county and it is what it is all about, 419 up for grabs in ten states, more than a third of the 1,144 delegates needed to cinch the nomination. brian moore, nbc news, washington. >>> in the midwest and south at least 38 people are confirmed dead after nearly 100 tornados hit this week. a two-year-old
