Fox Hosts Yet Another Climate Skeptic To Cast Doubt On Global Warming
Fox & Friends hosted meteorologist and climate skeptic Joe Bastardi to cast doubt on global warming by making several dubious claims, including that El Niño is responsible for warming during the past 30 years. Moreover, Bastardi is not a climate scientist, and previous claims by Bastardi have been criticized by climate experts.
Bastardi Claims El Niño Caused Warming Over Past 30 Years
Bastardi Attributes Rising Temperatures To El Niño. On February 2, Fox & Friends hosted Bastardi, who claimed that "there's been a general trend upward here [in temperatures] over the last 30 years ... because the Pacific has been warm," referring to the phenomenon known as El Niño. From Fox & Friends:
BASTARDI: Now, if we go to 30-year satellite temperatures, you can see there's been a general trend upward here over the last 30 years. That's because the Pacific has been warm, there's been high sunspot activity. That's turning around now. And the global temperature has crashed from that peak in the middle of 2010 all the way down to January, we're well below normal and I believe 2011 will be near normal. What's very interesting about this, folks, is usually after a La Niña winter, the following winters are colder. [Fox News' Fox & Friends, 2/2/11]
In Fact, Climate Scientists Say El Niño Can't Explain Long-Term Global Warming
Scientists Say El Niño Can't Explain Long-Term Warming Trend. David Pierce, a climate scientist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography responded to the question, "How do climate scientists know that the warming in the past 30 years is not due to El Niños?" by writing that "the main way we know that El Niño is not responsible for the 'global warming' in recent decades is that the up-and-down temperature sequence of the El Niños and La Niñas does not match the long-term, secular rise in temperatures":
This question reminds me of when I was young, and my grandfather took me and my 5-year old cousin on an elevator ride. My grandfather told her that if she jumped up and down, she could jump to the top of the building. So she energetically jumped up and down, and after a minute the elevator doors opened, and there we were at the top of the building! My cousin was mighty impressed.
Of course, she was only 5, so we can forgive her for not understanding that it's perfectly possible for two things to be happening at the same time. She was jumping up and down, but the elevator car was going up at the same time. El Niño and the warming we have seen over the last 30 years are like that. We have had El Niños (warm events) and La Niñas (cold events), which push the Earth up and down in temperature. (By the National Center for Environmental Predictions's [sic] count -- they are part of NOAA, who also runs the National Weather Service -- we have had about 11 El Niño (warm) events since 1970, and about 10 La Niña (cold) events). At the same time, there has been a long-term, systematic warming of the planet. So the main way we know that El Niño is not responsible for the "global warming" in recent decades is that the up-and-down temperature sequence of the El Niños and La Niñas does not match the long-term, secular rise in temperatures.
Another way you can check if El Niño/La Niña are responsible for [t]he planetary warming is by examining the regions that they tend to influence, and see if there is a match. The planetary warming can be seen across broad swaths of the globe, but is concentrated in the polar regions. El Niño warming is concentrated in the tropics. So the spatial signature of El Niño warming does not match the spatial pattern of global warming either. [Email to Media Matters, 1/26/11 [1]]
Kevin Trenberth Of NCAR Called Bastardi's Previous El Niño Claim "Utter Nonsense." Kevin Trenberth, head of the Climate Analysis Section at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), told Media Matters via email:
The heat has to come from somewhere. In El Niño: or really the ENSO cycle of El Niño and then La Niña, the heat builds up during La Niña, and then is redistributed and comes out of the ocean during and following El Niño.
This is well documented (I can point you to papers). So there is a mini global warming (increase in temperature) in the latter part of El Niño.
The heat has to come from somewhere and so if the climate is warming because of a warm cycle in the Pacific, where did the heat come from? If it just comes from the ocean then the ocean must be cooling down. It isn't. Of course it is global warming from increased greenhouse gases that warms the ocean!
The statements are utter nonsense. [Email to Media Matters, 1/26/11 [1]]
RealClimate: Scientists Have "Known For Decades" That El Niño Correlates With Global Temperatures. From a July 2009 post on Real Climate, a science blog written by working climate scientists:
First, there is an atrocious paper that has just been published in JGR by McLean, de Freitas and Carter that is doing the rounds of the denialosphere. These authors make the completely unsurprising point that that there is a correlation between ENSO indices and global mean temperature - something that has been well known for decades - and then go on to claim that that all trends are explained by this correlation as well. This is somewhat surprising since their method of analysis (which involves taking the first derivative of any changes) eliminates the influence of any trends in the correlation. [RealClimate.org, 7/24/09 [2]]
Scientists Seek To Account For El Niño Effects When Evaluating Climate Change. Physicist John Cook wrote on his website that "[t]here have been various attempts to filter out the ENSO signal from the temperature record," adding that analyses have confirmed that El Niños have a "strong short term effect on global temperature but cannot explain the long term trend." From the post:
An examination of the temperature record from 1880 to 2007 finds internal variability such as El Niño has relatively small impact on the long term trend (Hoerling 2008). Instead, they find long term trends in sea surface temperatures are driven predominantly by the planet's energy imbalance.
There have been various attempts to filter out the ENSO signal from the temperature record. We've examined one such paper by Fawcett 2007 when addressing the global warming stopped in 1998 argument. Similarly, Thompson 2008 filters out the ENSO signal from the temperature record. What remains is a warming trend with less variability. [SkepticalScience.com, 9/3/10 [3]]
Bastardi Claims Gore Is "Not Right" That Increased Snowfall Is Consistent With Global Warming
Bastardi Says That Gore's Claim That Increased Snowfall Is Consistent With Global Warming Is "Not Right." From the February 2 Fox & Friends:
DOOCY: You know, Al Gore came out within the last 48 hours on his website and he said that scientists have said that the -- you know, all these storms are indicative of the Earth getting warmer. You got evaporation up there and more precipitation and hence, what's going on here. You say that's not right.
BASTARDI: What it is is the atmosphere is beginning to cool, that creates more clashes. You know what this is like with those folks? I don't mean to demean you, but Dooce, you used to wrestle. It's like the more your opponent scores, the more points you get. The fact of the matter is these guys are sitting here -- is there any answer they don't own? Four, five years ago, we're hearing no winters, lots of hurricanes, everything else. When the opposite happens, they say well, we're right about that. [Fox & Friends, 2/2/11]
Gore: Scientists Have Said That "Increased Heavy Snowfalls Are Completely Consistent" With Man-Made Global Warming. In a February 1 blog post - to which Doocy was referring -- Al Gore wrote:
Last week on his show Bill O'Reilly asked, "Why has southern New York turned into the tundra?" and then said he had a call into me. I appreciate the question.
As it turns out, the scientific community has been addressing this particular question for some time now and they say that increased heavy snowfalls are completely consistent with what they have been predicting as a consequence of man-made global warming. [AlGore.com, 2/1/11]
But As Gore Noted, Climate Experts Indeed Have Explained Link Between Increased Snow, Warming
UCS: Rising Temperatures Can Lead To "More Extreme Precipitation -- Including Heavy Snowfall When Conditions Are Below Freezing." In a February 1 release, the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) explained how global warming could contribute to increased heavy snowfall (emphasis in original):
Backgrounder: It's Cold and My Car is Buried in Snow. How Can Global Warming be Happening?
On a global scale, the most recent decade (2000-2009) has been declared the warmest decade on record since the 1880's, when temperatures were first recorded. But the recent snow storms have led to considerable confusion about how record snow relates to our changing climate.
Warming Climate and Ocean Evaporation
Snowfall is a combination of the moisture in the atmosphere and air temperature. As the Earth's temperature warms, the oceans evaporate more water to the atmosphere which produces more precipitation--notably more extreme precipitation--including heavy snowfall when conditions are below freezing. [UCS, 2/1/11 [4]]
NCAR's Trenberth: Predicted "Consequence" Of Warming Is An Increase Of Snowfall In Some Areas. Trenberth was quoted in a February 2010 NPR article explaining that a predicted "consequence" of global warming is an increase of snowfall in some areas. From the article:
Most don't see a contradiction between a warming world and lots of snow. That includes Kevin Trenberth, a prominent climate scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado.
"The fact that the oceans are warmer now than they were, say, 30 years ago means there's about on average 4 percent more water vapor lurking around over the oceans than there was, say, in the 1970s," he says.
Warmer water means more water vapor rises up into the air, and what goes up must come down.
"So one of the consequences of a warming ocean near a coastline like the East Coast and Washington, D.C., for instance, is that you can get dumped on with more snow partly as a consequence of global warming," he says. [NPR, 2/15/10 [5]]
NYT: Most Climate Scientists Agree That Record Snows "Are Consistent With Forecasts That A Heating Planet Will Produce More Frequent And More Intense Weather Events." From a February 2010 New York Times article:
As millions of people along the East Coast hole up in their snowbound homes, the two sides in the climate-change debate are seizing on the mounting drifts to bolster their arguments.
Skeptics of global warming [6] are using the record-setting snows to mock those who warn of dangerous human-driven climate change -- this looks more like global cooling, they taunt.
Most climate scientists respond that the ferocious storms are consistent with forecasts that a heating planet will produce more frequent and more intense weather events.
Climate scientists say that no individual episode of severe weather can be attributed to global climate trends, though there is evidence that such events will probably become more frequent as global temperatures rise.
Jeff Masters, a meteorologist who writes on the Weather Underground blog [7], said that the recent snows do not, by themselves, demonstrate anything about the long-term trajectory of the planet. Climate is, by definition, a measure of decades and centuries, not months or years.
But Dr. Masters also said that government and academic studies had consistently predicted an increasing frequency of just these kinds of record-setting storms, because warmer air carries more moisture.
"Of course," he wrote on his blog Wednesday as new snows produced white-out conditions in much of the Eastern half of the country, "both climate-change contrarians and climate-change scientists agree that no single weather event can be blamed on climate change.
"However," he continued, "one can 'load the dice' in favor of events that used to be rare -- or unheard of -- if the climate is changing to a new state." [The New York Times, 2/10/10 [8]]
Climate Experts Have Previously Criticized Bastardi's Claims
UCS Spokesman: Bastardi Doesn't Have "Expertise In What's Happening With Our Climate From A Long-Range Perspective." From a September 23, 2010, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article:
Which brings us to a slightly sticky subject: Dr. Gray, like Mr. Bastardi, firmly believes that human-generated global warming isn't happening but is just part of a natural phenomenon of long-term warming and cooling trends.
Both have received considerable flak for this -- New Yorker writer Elizabeth Kolbert called Mr. Bastardi's position "ridiculous" in a column -- but Mr. Bastardi loves a good argument, so he appeared on Bill O'Reilly's Fox News program last year to debate the issue with Bill Nye, "The Science Guy." Then, in April, he faced off on Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report" against Brenda Ekwurzel of the Union of Concerned Scientists.
"He's among a minority of meteorologists, mostly on television, who say these things and who don't have expertise in what's happening with our climate from a long-range perspective," said Aaron Huertas, a spokesman for the Union of Concerned Scientists. "It's about as valid as a climate scientist criticizing Mr. Bastardi's annual hurricane predictions." [Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 9/23/10 [9]]
UCS Fact-Checks Bastardi's Dubious Claims Following Discussion On Global Warming With UCS Climate Scientist. In April 2010, Bastardi appeared on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report to debate global warming science with UCS climate scientist Dr. Brenda Ekwurzel. Following the show, UCS debunked several of the dubious claims made by Bastardi that were, as UCS noted, "at odds with mainstream climate science." From the UCS release:
Bastardi claimed: "The drivers that have been pushing this [global warming], the Pacific Ocean being warm, the Atlantic Ocean being warm, they're all going to come off. So if CO2 continues to rise and temperatures continue to flatten out, which they've done over the past five or 10 years starts falling, we'll know.... I think we're going to find out that global warming is basically natural."
It is true that natural cycles, such as the Arctic Oscillation, El Niño and La Niña will continue to play a significant role in affecting the climate over the course of years and decades. But global warming is raising the temperature baseline on which they all operate. Since 1880, the Earth has significantly warmed as carbon dioxide levels have continued to rise. Changes to natural climate drivers, including the sun, volcanic activity and the cycles Bastardi cites are not significant enough to explain the jump in global temperatures over the past several decades. In fact, climate scientists would be shocked if the increase in carbon dioxide levels--which have increased more than 40 percent since the pre-Industrial era--were not raising global temperatures.
Global temperatures have not "flattened out" over the past five or 10 years. Such claims focus on short-term climate shifts and use particularly hot years, such as 1998, as their starting point. In reality, the past 10 years have been the hottest decade on record.
Bastardi claimed that the "[Arctic sea] ice has just returned to normal.... If you look at today's Arctic ice sheet, it's back to where it was two, three, four, five years ago...."
Bastardi's statement is based on a short-term look at Arctic sea ice extent, a measure of the area encompassed by the furthest edges of ice coverage. This year's maximum winter sea ice extent was particularly late, thanks to a cold spring. But over the last six years or more, the maximum extent of sea ice has remained well below the 1979 to 2000 average extent, both in the winter and summer. This past winter was no exception. Sea ice extent is still below average.
In any case, a better measure of the stability of Arctic sea is sea ice thickness and its persistence over time. The new 2010 melt season is about to begin with more thin ice than usual. Thin ice likely will melt quickly in the summer. [UCS, 4/7/10 [10]]
Romm Criticizes Bastardi And Right-Wing Disinformation Campaign Against Global Warming Science. Citing a Think Progress post, climate expert Joe Romm criticized Fox News and host Bill O'Reilly for promoting Bastardi's claim that the "globe is cooling." [Climate Progress, 9/15/09 [11]; Think Progress, 9/14/09 [12]]
Climate Scientists Overwhelmingly Agree That Global Warming Is Happening
Recent Warming Trend Is Established By Temperature Measurements, Other Observations. The National Climatic Data Center explains that the "warming trend that is apparent in all of the independent methods of calculating global temperature change is also confirmed by other independent observations":
Thousands of land and ocean temperature measurements are recorded each day around the globe. This includes measurements from climate reference stations, weather stations, ships, buoys and autonomous gliders in the oceans. These surface measurements are also supplemented with satellite measurements. These measurements are processed, examined for random and systematic errors, and then finally combined to produce a time series of global average temperature change. A number of agencies around the world have produced datasets of global-scale changes in surface temperature using different techniques to process the data and remove measurement errors that could lead to false interpretations of temperature trends. The warming trend that is apparent in all of the independent methods of calculating global temperature change is also confirmed by other independent observations, such as the melting of mountain glaciers on every continent, reductions in the extent of snow cover, earlier blooming of plants in spring, a shorter ice season on lakes and rivers, ocean heat content, reduced arctic sea ice, and rising sea levels. [National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Climatic Data Center, accessed 1/14/11 [13]]
From the Met Office Hadley Centre for Climate Change:
[Met Office Hadley Centre for Climate Change, accessed 1/14/11 [14]]
IPCC: Most Of Recent Warming Is Very Likely Due To Increase In Greenhouse Gas Emissions. The Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change -- a scientific body compiling research from thousands of scientists -- concluded in 2007 that "warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice and rising global average sea level" and that "most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely [defined in the report as a '>90%' chance] due to the observed increase in anthropogenic [human-caused] GHG [greenhouse gas] concentrations."

The content of the stolen emails has no impact whatsoever on our overall understanding that human activity is driving dangerous levels of global warming." [UCS, 12/04/09 [16]]
1,700 Scientists In The United Kingdom: Global Warming "Is Due Primarily To Human Activities." More than 1,700 scientists from the United Kingdom signed a statement [17] responding "to the ongoing questioning of core climate science and methods."

[U.K. Met Office, 12/10/09 [18] accessed from Climate Progress]
American Association For The Advancement Of Science: "[S]cientific Evidence" Shows "That Global Climate Change [Is] Caused By Human Activities." On December 4, 2009, the American Association for the Advancement of Science stated that it "has reaffirmed the position of its Board of Directors and the leaders of 18 respected organizations, who concluded based on multiple lines of scientific evidence that global climate change caused by human activities is now underway, and it is a growing threat to society." The statement also said that "the illegal release of private emails stolen from the University of East Anglia should not cause policy-makers and the public to become confused about the scientific basis of global climate change."

Fox Has Recently Hosted Meteorologist, Right-Wing Radio Host Sussman To Attack Global Warming Science. On January 27, Fox & Friends hosted Brian Sussman, a right-wing radio host and meteorologist, to cast doubt on global warming science by, in part, misrepresenting Arctic sea ice and temperature data. Fox & Friends portrayed Sussman as a credible expert on climate change despite his history of using misinformation to attack global warming science. Sussman further made false claims to attack climate science on the January 31 edition of Fox Business' Follow the Money. [Media Matters, 1/28/11 [21], 2/1/11 [22]]
CJR: Meteorologists Do Not Have Same Expertise As Climate Scientists
CJR: Meteorologists Do Not Have Same Expertise As Climate Scientists To Analyze Climate Change. A Columbia Journalism Review article explored "why so many meteorologists have disregarded the mountain of evidence of global warming that has already occurred." CJR noted that "[m]eteorology has a deceptively close relationship with climatology: both disciplines study the same general subject, the behavior of the atmosphere, but they ask very different questions about it." From the CJR article:
But the disagreement, then as now, also came down to the weathercasters themselves, and what they knew--or believed they knew. Meteorology has a deceptively close relationship with climatology: both disciplines study the same general subject, the behavior of the atmosphere, but they ask very different questions about it. Meteorologists live in the short term, the day-to-day forecast. It's an incredibly hard thing to predict accurately, even with the best models and data; tiny discrepancies matter enormously, and can pile up quickly into giant errors. Given this level of uncertainty in their own work, meteorologist looking at long-range climate questions are predisposed to see a system doomed to terminal unpredictability. But in fact, the basic question of whether rising greenhouse gas emissions will lead to climate change hinges on mostly simple, and predictable, matters of physics. The short-term variations that throw the weathercasters' forecasts out of whack barely register at all.
This is the one explanation that everyone who has mulled the question seems to agree on--and indeed, when I spoke with meteorologists who were skeptical of or uncertain about the scientific consensus, it was the one thing they all brought up. "Meteorologists know our models," Brian Neudorff, a meteorologist at WROC in Rochester, New York, told me. "There's a lot of error and bias. We'll use five different models and come back with five different things. So when we hear that climatological models are saying this, how accurate are they?"
But that hardly explains why so many meteorologists have disregarded the mountain of evidence of global warming that has already occurred--or why, in the case of the hard-line skeptics, they are so fixated on proving a few data sets' worth of tree-ring and ice core measurements wrong. "I think a lot of people have theories," Robert Henson says, "but nobody knows for sure." [Columbia Journalism Review, January/February 2010 [23], subscription required]

Why Fox's Bill Hemmer Shouldn't Report On Gasoline Prices
Fox News host Bill Hemmer highlighted a recent increase in gasoline prices to raise concerns about its "drag on the economy," then claimed that gas prices "rarely" decrease. But the very chart Hemmer used during the segment debunks his own claim -- and Hemmer has previously fearmongered over the economic impact of low gas prices as well.
During the February 14 edition of America's Newsroom, Hemmer followed Fox Business host Stuart Varney's assertion that gas is at "the highest price ever for a gallon of regular gas in the month of February" by pointing to a chart comparing gas prices in early 2012 with those in 2013:
Hemmer said that gas is currently "up 11 or 12 cents over the average where we were a year ago," then repeatedly emphasized the "drag" rising gas prices could have on the economy before concluding, "When these prices go up, rarely do they go back down."
But Hemmer's own chart debunks this claim. As Hemmer noted, average gas prices in January 2013 were "10, maybe even 15 cents" lower than those in January 2012.
Indeed, gas prices regularly fluctuate, as this chart [1] of prices over the past year shows:
Various factors influence seasonal oil price fluctuations. The price of crude oil has recently increased due to the global increase in demand [2], and experts have noted [3] that gas prices routinely increase at this time of year as refineries slow production to transition to summer-blend gasoline.
And although Hemmer's co-host Martha MacCallum said, "When you start to pay more for gas at this time of year, you start to wonder what it's going to be come May and June," AAA recently predicted [4] that the national average price of gas "is likely to peak this spring at a lower price than in 2011 ... and 2012," due to fewer conflicts in oil-producing regions.
Hemmer's current concerns over the impact of high gas prices are particularly interesting given that last May, Hemmer worried that low gas prices "could be a sign of a looming global economic crisis." Fox News has a history [5] of using gas prices both high and low to attack [6] President Obama -- even though experts agree [7] that presidents can't [8] control the price of gas [9].

Is it against the law to pirate a tshirt, like it is to pirate a movie?
Guys, I haven't received yet my "Lucky at last" tee (I expect it to arrive real soon now, tho) and now you've made me buy another tee before I could check the sizes in person.
You're very evil.
And this design is SO AWESOME. *__*
Amazing work,just wish Woot offered the option of having the artwork on the back of the shirt. Wonder if I could wear this one backwards?

I think there's a surprisingly fine line between The Mountain shirts and shirts that are semi-realistic that aren't. This one falls on the right side of this line, and as it was one of my favorites in a derby I was really excited about, I decided I needed to actually go and get a non-random design for the first time in a while.
Great work, patrickspens.
It seems the majority of grey shirts in my closet have been designed by one amazing guy. And here is yet another destined to join them!
I love the design and wish I could buy it, but it's on the wrong side of the shirt. A design this large really needs to be on the back of the shirt in my opinion with a pocket design on the front.
I'm just not a fan of full-size frontal designs. They only look OK on a small portion of the people that wear them.
So add me to the "I want a poster" crowd.
I didn't see in the sizing threads. How do the kids sizes fit? My son was in an AA MS/WXL, so I have no idea what size he would wear in this...K12 maybe? Is that larger than MS?
edit: just looked at the sizing chart. K12 is larger/shorter than MS, he will be happy.
This shirt is sweet. I want one.
I love all the classical elements: skull on the jutting helm (check), breaded pirate (check), sunset in the background (check), Captain Morgan pose (check)! But seriously...no eye patch? What's going on here?!
Congrats Patrick! Awesome design as always!
But, why is the Rum gone?
Am I the only one who sees a Cylon?

Also, I know it's the wrong universe for a pirate to draw from, but I can't help but think of Theoden's battle cry in The Two Towers when I see this shirt.
"Let this be the hour when we draw swords together. Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath, now for ruin, and the red dawn. Forth, Eorlingas!"
Just substitute "Men!", "Mateys!", "Ye Scurvy Dogs!", or "Scalliwags! in place of "Eorlingas!", and you're good.
Actually really happy to see a classic pirate and not a 'zomg johnny depp disney pirate'
I can't believe all the acclaim for this shirt. The ship is way too small, and is missing half its sails, no cording to support the masts, etc. etc.. It looks like this "pirate" is riding on a rowboat. What a joke. Nice sunsets are a dime a dozen. Meh.
I'd love a print of this!
AA Wesome!
In for one!

(In all seriousness the new shirts are amazing quality I've worn one of the new blanks 3 times in the last week and they feel just as good as the old shirts)
This design is awesome! I'd gladly pay 20 dollars for it, lucky me I only need to pay 12
They must be something different then what gets delivered with a print on them yet.
I accidentally ordered the "Arrow to the knee" which was on an Anvil blank before I found out about the change. I wore it yesterday and while the shoulder/chest and length were ok, the sleeves were definitely not as it flossed my underarms all day.
I KNEW i was wearing a shirt all day as everytime my arms shifted the shirt scraped. In my opinion these Anvil shirts are not wearable and should be avoided.

I really hate bashing an artist, because really, this is exceptional work. But for a tshirt? Who actually wears these? This kind of work is so typical for tshirts found at truck stops. I don't understand the obvious change in voters' choice. Is it the halftones that have people drooling all over themselves? I would like to see mad skills with halftones applied to something more trendy, not something my grandfather would wear. Loving the illustration, just not as a tshirt.
I have a large-format design (Swashbuckler Island) from patrickspens that gets positive comments every time I wear it.
And looking back on patrickspens' designs, I see a few more that I want.
I'm now wondering what happens to shirt designs after woot reckons them away. Is there no secondary printing marketplace for these excellent designs?

Different strokes for different folks. Some Wooters find turbunguins to be the pinnacle of Woot shirts; others despise them.
There's always another design tomorrow, y'know.
I'm so very happy to see a gritty more realistic pirate win and not a cartoon one.
Also, I have a WAY better pirate song than Bluejester. :P

GLENVIEW, IL -- Kraft Foods Inc. said it is splitting its global snacks and North American grocery businesses into two separate publicly traded companies.
The surprise Aug. 4 announcement comes a year and a half after Kraft's acquisition of Cadbury PLC, a move that positioned it as the second-largest global food company. | SEE STORY
The new snacks company, which will have annual sales of $32 billion and such brands as Oreo cookies, Cadbury chocolate and Trident gum, will include Kraft's North American snacks and confectionery businesses, along with its European and developing-markets units.
The grocery spinoff will include Kraft's U.S. beverages, cheese and convenient meals with brands like Maxwell House coffee, Kraft macaroni and cheese, and Jell-O desserts. The company would also include non-snack categories in Canada and its foodservice business. The grocery concern is expected to have about $16 billion in annual revenue.
Kraft sold its U.S. and Canadian pizza business to Nestlé for $3.7 billion shortly after the Cadbury acquisition. | SEE STORY
The separation of the two companies is expected to take at least 12 months through a tax-free spinoff of the North American grocery business to shareholders, and to be completed before the end of 2012.
Kraft's Vending & OCS division markets many of the industry's top-name snacks, convenience foods and beverages. Ritz crackers, Oreo and Chips Ahoy cookies, Lunchables meal kits, and Maxwell House and Yuban coffees are widely distributed in the workplace refreshments market through vending and coffee operators.
Kraft is also involved in the development of vending and coffee service machines. Tassimo Professional brewers for the single-cup office market and the revolutionary Diji-Touch touchscreen vending machine are among today's many equipment innovations.
Separately, Kraft reported second-quarter profit of $976 million, up from $937 million a year earlier. Net revenue climbed 13% to $13.9 billion, helped by price increases. Gross margin slipped to 35.1% from 38.3% on higher commodity costs.
Kraft also raised its guidance for the year, projecting operating earnings of at least $2.20 to $2.25 and organic net revenue growth of at least 4% to 5%. Its earlier forecast anticipated at least $2.20 in earnings and organic net revenue growth of at least 4%.

Ugly: Robert Hoge
31 August 2013 , 8:18 AM by Rob Minshull
Robert Hoge was born with a giant tumour on his forehead, severely distorted facial features and legs that were twisted and useless. His mother at first refused to look at her son, let alone bring him home.
But home he went, to a bayside suburb of Brisbane and to a life that, against all the odds, was filled with joy, optimism and love.
The author William McInnes says "If Robert Hoge reckons he belongs to the Ugly Club, then 'ugly' must mean humour and courage, love and decency."
Ugly is Robert's account of his life, from the time of his birth to the arrival of his own daughter. It is a story of how the love and support of his family helped him to overcome incredible hardships. It is a story Robert is sharing with Warren Boland.

I was a young dental nurse when you first crossed my path via the maxilla craniofacial Unit. Your personality and face shone then and I have wondered ever since how you turned out.
I am not surprised that you still shine now.

Post subject: Hypothetical - The Panthers make it to the Super Bowl. How?
Instead of asking what the Panthers need to do to get to the Super Bowl I'm asking it in reverse.
Imagine that the Panthers are in the Bowl - what happened for them to get there.
I will answer my own question with my limited knowledge of the team. What has to happen (not in order of importance)
1. Panthers crack the Seachickens on opening day and get off to a good start like say 3-1.
1a. Steve Smith stays healthy.
2. Star L or the other rookie DT or both play like defensive rookie of the year candidates
3. Cam elevates Domminick Hickson's to being (very) good #2, and turns Ted Ginn into a big play WR. or the Panthers pick up a late cut WR (or trades for one like Jacoby Ford??) who comes up big.
4. The front four and front seven are incredible. Panthers are top three in sacks.
5a. Fueled by outstanding front 7 play the secondary bends but gets a surprising number of picks and leads the league in pick6s.
5. Luke proves he's the truth by having an even better year than last year.
6. In head to head matchups the Panther DL owns the Falcons OL and they punish Matty Slush.
7. Panther running game is top 5.
8. Cam continues to evolve and posts first 90+ QB rating.
9. the OL is rock solid.
10. Shula pans out.

1. Cam reaches Elite level. Right now, he's at the Good QB level, but will need to reach elite status.
2. Secondary plays consistently well. No out of position players, no getting beat, then always creating turnovers and tackling well.
3. More offensive production from the WRs not named Steve Smith.
4. D Line has to be unstoppable. 15+ sacks for Hardy and Johnson. Good push by Star, Short, and the other DTs.
5. Good performances by the special teams.
6. Offensive play calling has to get better during key moments of the game.
7. Double Trouble plays consistently good.

1. Cam finds the consistency that he's been missing from time to time.
2. The defense as a whole moves forward from the "bend until we're about to snap" mentality to a more aggressive nature.
3. Lotulelei and Short give the defense what they've been lacking up front, stifling opposing running games and push the pocket enough to cover up some weakness in the secondary.
4. The secondary does their jobs, and nothing more. Solid, but not spectacular, and the overall defense is still built around the front seven.
5. The new competition at WR creates production from the #2 and #3 receivers.
6. The playcalling becomes more consistent, less fancy, and our good players (see Olsen vs Seattle last year) don't get forgotten in games.
7. The running game continues on with its strong suits; power football and fewer gimicky running plays. Eliminates negative plays.
8. The stable of return men (Ginn, Barner, Adams, Pilares) create a similar competitive nature to that aforementioned at WR, and sparks something on the special teams.
9. Cam Newton, Steve Smith, Ryan Kalil, and Jon Beason stay healthy.

1. Ron Rivera is better at situational coaching. Two minute and four minute offenses are effective at scoring or draining the clock. Prevent defense starts to work or is abandoned.
2. Mike Shula brings back the power running and shorter routes. Never thought I'd be asking for that in today's league, but... that is what works for us. Doesn't call the option on 3rd/4th and 1 either.
3. We don't lose significant players to injury... we've had 18 players go on IR in each of the past two years. Whether its Jon Beason, Ryan Kalil, Chris Gamble, Ron Edwards, Thomas Davis, Jonathan Stewart... important starters need to suited up on Sunday.
4. Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short, or Colin Cole step up as contributors. Nothing can be worse than Sione Fua. If those three guys can just be average we will have massive improvement.
5. Greg Hardy continues his ascension into the great DEs. Frank Alexander and Mario Addison help in the rotation.
6. Brandon LaFell or Domenik Hixon becomes a legitimate #2.
7. Josh Norman, Josh Thomas, Mike Mitchell, Robert Lester, Melvin White, Haruki Nakamura, Captain Munnerlyn, James Dockery, Colin Jones... whoever is back there with Charles Godfrey... don't give up huge plays and tackle whoever they're covering.
8. Special teams doesn't completely flub it. We've had the absolute worst special teams in each of Rivera's years. Mare and Medlock sucked. Nortman is a huge disappointment. Punt returning has been a joke... Kealoha shows potential with kicks at least. Coverage has been consistently horrible. Hopefully Pilares or Ginn can step up. Gano really worries me, as does Nortman.
9. Run game doesn't come out of the gate slowly. It usually does. Need to be able to step it up against tough teams like the Seahawks and Giants.
10. And finally, Cam is consistent like in the last quarter of his seasons... if he can do 60% with a 7.5+ YPA while keeping the turnovers down I don't see why we wouldn't be one of the deadliest teams in the league.
I think that covers just about everything. I think it is OK to assume that guys like Smitty, Olsen, Keek, CJ, etc will produce week in and out so I didn't mention them at all...

Beating Seattle to start the season would set the playoff tone right from the start.
I read the Panthers were 14 mil under the cap. I would be great if some late season cut at CB, WR or S would become available.

New Study Links CO2 to Paleozoic Extinctions
Jason Mick
September 1, 2007 11:23 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
A new study by paleoecologist Margaret Fraiser at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, offers an interesting new theory behind the cause of the Earth's largest extinction: copious carbon-dioxide
When most people hear the phrase "the earth's largest extinction", they think dinosaurs.
Margaret Frasier
knows better. As a paleoecologist, she knows that the Earth's largest mass extinction of life occurred at the end of the
Permian Period
at the end of the Paleozoic Era; 252 million years before the first T-Rex ever walked the earth. The extinction destroyed the
large land amphibians
' dominance of the land, and paved the way for dinosaurs to emerge as the dominant land species.
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee professor Margaret Frasier is studying this extinction avidly, looking for possible details to further our understandings of what might have caused this landmark event.
Her recent conclusions, published in an Elsevier journal
(PDF) and detailed in a
recent press release
titled "When Bivalves Ruled the World," describe an Earth with run-away carbon dioxide levels. She concludes that the Permian-Triassic mass-extinction was caused by toxic, oxygen-less oceans created by too much atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2).
The Permian-Triassic extinction event wiped out nearly 70 percent of species on land and 95 percent of sea species.
"Estimates of the CO2 in the atmosphere then were between six and 10 times greater than they are today," Frasier states. The largest continuous volcanic eruption on Earth – known as the "Siberian Traps" – had been pumping out CO2 for about a million years prior to the Permian-Triassic mass extinction.
Her hypothesis is that high CO2 levels at the close of the Permian Period caused global warming, greatly increasing global temperatures. With no cold water at the poles, ocean circulation slowed, and the oceans were unable to mix with the little oxygen left in the air.
She cites a variety of evidence of high CO2 and low ocean oxygen levels in this fossil record. One piece of evidence is darkened rock from underwater fossil strata of the time. Darkening in ocean rock of this nature indicates a low amount of oxygen at the time of formation.
Frasier also collected evidence to support her theory in the form of bivalve fossils. The only survivors of the extinction were bivalve mollusks and gastropods -- snails. Only shallow water, tiny, small-shelled varieties with high metabolisms and a flat shape, which allowed them to spread out while feeding to extract more oxygen, survived. Deeper water varieties, where there was less oxygen, and larger shelled varieties, which needed more oxygen, became extinct, disappearing from the fossil record.
A final piece of evidence cited is the disappearance of the coral reefs. Coral reefs die if their environment lacks sufficient oxygen.

The American people elected a man to the office of president who posed as one concerned about the needs of ordinary folk unlike George Bush who believed the president's first duty was to the rich and powerful. A UN investigator who was prevented from visiting America by the Bush administration has accused the United States of pouring billions of dollars into rescuing banks and big business while neglecting the needs of those who even lack a place to sleep at night. Raquel Rolnik said in no uncertain terms: "The housing crisis is invisible for many in the US. I learned through this visit that real affordable housing and poverty is something that hasn't been dealt with as an issue…. I think those whoa re suffering the most in this whole situation are the very poor. the low income people."
Perhaps, another visit would make even clearer to the world that Ivy League led America under Barack Obama is more concerned about banks than those who lack jobs. No serious effort has been made by the Obama administration to address issues of unemployment or under-employment. Unfortunately, for Obama, those without jobs will express their anger in the coming elections of 2010. Beware the ideas of November, Mr. President!

And it's not just a yes or no answer… it's all about how you, as a woman, want other people to view you and your worth as a whole person… not just attractive body parts.

The Republican Party has been attacking President Obama for failure to speak out against the crackdown in Iran. Obama has been attempting to prevent the Iranian government from using his words in being critical of demonstrators. After Obama finally made some comments, President Ahmadinejad swung into the attack by claiming his words were similar to those of George Bush. Only the Iranian people can fight for their freedom since outside nations simply have no leverage on the Iranian government and their words fall on deaf ears. Opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi continued to blame Ahmadinejad for rigging the election. Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri, an opponent of Khamenei spoke bluntly: "if iranians cannot talk about their legitimate rights at peaceful gatherings and are instead suppressed, complexities will build up which could possible uproot the foundations of the government, no matter how powerful."
The confusion of the Iranian government is best exemplified by its throwing the family of Neda Soltan from their apartment, refusing to allow a funeral and burying the young girl whose death was shown all over the world. The Iranian government is now claiming her death was staged by British television and that she really was a member of the Basij militia. If she was a member of the Basij militia, then why isn't her family being allowed to bury her?
How does one explain to McCain, Rush, Ann and other ignorant leaders of the Republican party that the United States must remain out of this conflict?

Super Gamer Dude
James Noir's Hollywood Crimes on the 3DS is a puzzle game developed by Ubisoft. The game is set within a TV game show in the 1960s and the player must solve puzzles to defeat a mysterious criminal mastermind. The player takes on the role of a contestant working their way through 6 stages of a game show as Hollywood becomes the staging ground for a set of gruesome crimes.
One of the biggest and most popular genres when it comes to games on the Nintendo 3DS is puzzle solving. Of course, puzzle solving isn't enough to sustain a full length game on its own, even a portable game on the 3DS platform. That's why in James Noir's Hollywood Crimes, players are faced with puzzles, but also with the additional intriguing aspect that at least half the puzzles that players are asked to solve are linked to unsolved murders.
Murder Most Foul!
Players begin the game by filling out the paperwork for an application for them to appear in a television show in the 1960s. On the show contestants compete in alternate weeks to beat each others scores. However, before this particular player, that is you, can get on the show you are contacted by an old friend who is now working for the FBI. The bureau needs your puzzle solving skills to make sense of the cryptic clues that a killer is leaving strewn around the crime scenes in Hollywood, which are teasing the authorities with hints as to the killer's whereabouts. And as if that wasn't enough, it turns out that everyone who has been a victim of this killer has also been a puzzle solver on the television show in which you will soon appear. So it's a race against the clock to find the killer, before other players from the competition, or you, become the next victims.
Solve That Puzzle!
With the unique capacities that the Nintendo 3DS presents for puzzle solving games, from the 3D elements to the touch screen, James Noir's Hollywood Crimes easily stands on its own two feet. The puzzles are unique and challenging without feeling impossible, but they are also set against a clever backdrop that draws on classic Hollywood themes. With the feeling of classic film noir like Jack Nicholson's Chinatown, Hollywood Murders can get players seeing the world from a cynical point of view before the television show even gets rolling.
However, when it comes to the puzzles, players aren't just directed linearly to solve one puzzle after the other. While the murder scenes are already present and cannot be changed, players do have quite a choice of which puzzles to solve when they are actually on the game show. With three levels of difficulty players can choose to solve either easy, medium or hard problems. The harder the puzzle the more points the player earns on the show and the more prestige they will get when the results are announced in the newspapers in following days.
Is It Worth The Cost?
Unlike some games, which just get re-released and essentially unchanged on the Nintendo 3DS, Hollywood Crimes is a puzzle solver that was designed especially for this platform. As such, players aren't just dealing with a simple game that's had more bells and whistles added, this is an original and is exactly how it was meant to be seen and played. For gamers that will accept no substitutes, and who want to try their hand at catching a killer in classic Hollywood mystery style before the killer catches them, then James Noir's Hollywood Crimes fits the bill in almost every respect.

Here we were on New Years Day for a 2 min televised skit for the traditional "Mummers" parade in Philadelphia. If your not familiar with the Mummers, google it... cause I really don't think I could explain it.

Any one ever bought his stuff? Is it the real deal?
Any one ever bought his stuff? Is it the real deal?
Just do a search for his name on the site....you will find all that you require...
Top Notch Stuff!
Hmm yeah, not sure what "real deal" means. It is very good quality and I have heard nothing but good things about dealing with him.
i've only heard excelent reviews of him, he sure is the "real deal"
Hello Lordsurge, their products are of first quality, my armor came from him
the only problem it is that you have to wait, at this time Daz has many orders, their works are impressive and the best thing is the human quality!!!!!!!!
Ahh forgot the quality of painting it is incredible, it is very but very advisable friend, the one is here member and you can contact him.
Good luck friend!!!!!!!!!!!
I will show him some pictures of their armor, I hope this helps you!!!!
Bobamaker, Daz. He a member here. Has been for ages. Check his site out. He does excellent work. He does most Boba stuff and some Jango. He can do custom as well.
Nice guy to chat to also.
Hi guys, Just to clear things up "Real Deal" is me saying is it as good as it looks and am not dreaming lol. Thanks for all the info guys very helpfull.
I got my Jango Helmet from him. Excellent service and I have to say an absolutely beautiful helmet. Top notch. You won't be dissapointed.
I will order the helmet from him now :-) and most likey the rest of the parts over the next year and abit :-) Cant wait :-)
I have ordered a helmet from him that is due to come in, in a few weeks. Do not worry about bobamaker. It is very much worth the 12-15 week wait.
u can count on him
I just orderd one! Yay for me!
Congratulations friend!!!!!!!! Welcome to the club!!!!!!!!!!
Hehe, I ordered mine just a few hours after you.
Boba ROTJ
Does anyone have some pictures of his jango helmet? iv had some trouble finding them.
Musashi look six posts up ^^
Musashi - As Lordsurge has said. But Bobamaker or BM, sells his Jango helmets on his website. Work is required to make it a Jango helmet, or he can do the work for you at a price.
BM does Cold casts in Jango upon request. I love CC's sooooo much!
Does anyone know how much he asks for a ROTJ painted helmet?
Not sure, you can contact him for a price tho.
No... definitely NOT the real deal!
I got armor from boba maker, and the very FIRST blaster shot I took too the chest burned RIGHT THROUGH!!! My chest got seriously cooked and I have the scars to prove it. Not only that! Bobamaker's armor's lightsaber deflecting ability is almost non-existent! I almost lost a freakin' arm trying to deflect a blow with the shoulder bell! Saber just sliced right through! It is almost like this stuff is just plastic or something! I suppose if you were one of these "costumer" or "collector" types you would probably find the quality second to none... but if you are looking for "the real deal" I say look elsewhere!
...and if anyone takes that seriously... you will be smacked.

Touring non-stop since 2001, University of St. Thomas graduate Hamilton Loomis has brought his "blues-rock-funk-groove-soul" music to audiences all over the United States and the world. Loomis will return to his alma mater to play live at the Festa Italiana at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 15.
Loomis promises an energetic, interactive performance at Festa Italiana. His live shows are known for their funky rhythms, booming horns, powerful yet refined harmonica and Loomis' soulful vocals coupled with his stellar guitar work.
"I really like the audience to experience our live shows, not just listen," he said. "I love performing and I love feeling connected to the audience and getting them involved."
A native of Galveston and current resident of Katy, Loomis graduated magna cum laude in 1998 with a double degree in music and communication. He recalls his time at St. Thomas fondly and said his education has helped him in numerous aspects of his music career.
Loomis was performing on stage long before he enrolled at UST. He learned drums, piano, guitar, bass and harmonica by his early teens, and toured regularly as part of his family's doo-wop group.
His musical talent was further cultivated at St. Thomas where he valued the, "small classes and one-on-one attention from professors who were always attentive and eager to help."
"Both degrees have helped me professionally," he said. "Being in the jazz ensemble really paid off. After I graduated, I had more jazz gigs than I could handle. My communication degree and the internship I had at Fox 26 with Professor John Butler helped me become a lot more media savvy, so I am comfortable promoting my music and doing appearances on television."
Loomis said he is looking forward to seeing how much campus has changed when he returns for the Festa Italiana performance.
"Coming back to St. Thomas is going to be fun and bring back a lot of memories," he said. "I was really immersed in campus life and I lived on campus all four years. One of the best aspects of my time at UST was just sitting around, discussing philosophy and politics and the world around us. St. Thomas really encourages you to think for yourself and opens your mind."
Loomis is working on a new studio CD, editing his first live performance DVD and has a steady touring schedule through the fall.

text: When I was growing up, I had a friend who went to Catholic school. For several years, I would spend the night at her house for New Year's Eve. We would try to stay up until midnight, but I never made it. What this public-school kid really liked about visiting her house, though, were the Catholic books and comic books she had. The most memorable of the comic books was, to me, the one about Bishop F.X. Ford of Maryknoll. My mom used to send $5 every Christmas to Maryknoll in memory of … [Read more...]

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by mikhail1973, Nov 10, 2007.
MLive.com: Everything Michigan
This ain't going to help his playing time on Sunday.
That's for sure. Unfortunately, there is no other info on what's happened.
Maybe Flip Jr. was supposed to wake him up and forgot. Again, no assist.
Why were they flying to Portland? Maybe that was just a typo. They're playing in Seattle tomorrow night.
Maybe the tickets were cheaper?
He was probaby worned out from playing a whole quarter and overslept. He was not used playing that much.... Hopefully he doesn't fly into Portland looking for the Piston limo...and they are in Seattle...;)
This isn't the first time he missed the flight. Maybe what happened is that rather than take the team flight he flew Amir Airlines straight from the Palace directly to the Seattle Center. Maybe he just took another flight directly to Los Angeles since he probably won't play before then anyway, so why not take a few days and visit his family and friends and make a YouTube video. From the news archive | Detroit Bad Boys
:p_welldone: Good one Buddha
not like he was gonna get playing time anyway ;) from mccosky's blog:
He was probably up all night celebrating his PT with Nazr. But Nazr, the true professional still made the flight on time.
From McCrapsky's blog Even if he was running exactly on time? Why is that Chris? You know Amir wasn't changing that tire himself - probably doesn't even have a tire iron and jack in his trunk- he is "obviously" going to call somebody and wait like a good little rich 20 year old kid.
Running late. McCrispy doesn't say how long Amir was sitting and waiting for a tow truck. I have never met anyone, even the most anal person, that will plan a drive to the airport and allow enough time just in case his car breaks down on the way. On top of that when you are single, which as far as I know Amir is, your life is just not as organized as when you have a significant other. That is how it is. Everyone knows that. I had a friend for a number of years. A great father with a half a dozen kids, made $250K a year running his own business and always left for where he was going so that he would arrive on time to 5 minutes late assuming he had no car or other problems on the way to where he was going and he went a lot of places every day. There are also a lot of people that are not time sensitive. I never knew either of my wives who are very successful career people to ever be on time for anything. It wasn't that they didn't care but that is just how they were. The question to ask is. Did Amir call someone in the Pistons front office once he knew he was going to miss the team flight and inform them of the fact. That is what we have a right to know. If he called then this whole thing is a non story. If he didn't call then maybe there is something worth while writing and talking about. In the meantime McCrispy get a life and may your kids become bloggers. McCrispy's comments aren't in my opinion as bad as Blakely's comments in his expanded story on the link below. Blakely's use of the term "Kid" in reference to AJ is just plain degrading and a really uncalled for cheap shot. If you go to the bottom of the link you can see my comments to him about what he wrote. I realize that Blakely may post on this forum under a another name or be friends with some that do post here, but I felt I had to comment what I did. The story on the link below has been expanded with more detail and comments by Blakely from the original story linked at the beginning of this thread. MLive.com: Everything Michigan
Well, now only Krista remains out of the local "professional bloggers" who hasn't written anything of this nature.
You are exactly right. It is a small thing, but it shows a great deal on the mature temperature scale. At this level, he will no longer have a dependency shadow as provided to him during his D-league days. There will be little tolerance from the front office for these mistakes since any obvious show of benign understanding will will offend the other bench players. Injury, bench role, and lessened playing minutes will discourage him. If there was ever a time for another mature player to mentor him, it is now. This will not come from the coaches, it will have to be another player. Normally, this is where a respected leader will step up and provide wise council with some special tips on self-organizational role playing. The latter is the first (and most important) thing I notice that many youths lack and it is especially hard for those that are young, rich and surrounded by sycophants.
Sheed needs to take Amir under his wing and teach him the intricacies of the NBA life.
I see no evidence of immaturity on his part on this. Every mature adult who drives a car has had it break down on the way to something that caused them to be late more than one time in their life. If AJ called than it is a total non issue. In fact it could be the Pistons fault for not insuring that all their players have transportation in the proper working order to insure that each player does not suffer the [SIZE=-1]vagaries and vicissitudes of vehicular ownership. Players get paid to play, not to be vehicular mechanics!! If Davidson can afford a team plane and the plane mechanics are necessary to keep the plane flying safely, then he sure as heck can afford a team auto mechanic to make sure that all the players and coaches vehicles are in tip top running shape with good tires etc. So if anyone should receive the blame for AJ being late it is Davidson for not insisting that the Pistons hire a vehicular mechanic to take care of his players and coaches transportation. A lot of really wealthy people who own multiple vehicles have their own personal mechanic. By the way. AJ was sitting next to Sheed on the bench during the Clippers game and Sheed was talking to him. Players usually sit in the same place from game to game. My guess is that Uncle Sheed is mentoring him. A few technicals from AJ wouldn't be so bad, would it? [/SIZE]
All this stuff with Amir and Stuckey has given a chance for Flip and Nazr to be showcased. Maybe this can get the Pistons some high value for them in return.
wow Buda... McCrispy should be worried about his career. You can easily fill his shoes. but doing a better job
I don't think showcasing two black holes is going to create any value.
