KIDDERMINSTER was briefly taken over by an army of Father Christmas's who came through the town to help raise £22,000 for Kemp Hospice.
Kemp's Santa Fun Run took place on Sunday when about 400 participants ran from Brinton Park and back along the canal towpath.
The charity's events fundraiser, Kate Wilkinson, said the figure of £22,000 raised was the run's "best ever total" beating last year's by nearly £5,000.
Wyre Forest MP Mark Garnier counted down from the start and saw Santas of all ages back through the finish line in under two hours.
Ms Wilkinson said: "It was a brilliant day, there was a fantastic atmosphere and all the supporters were really energetic.
"Everyone looked brilliant and there was some people who had customised their outfit, some had put their names on the back of their Santa suits and they all joined together to dance to a Christmas song during the warm up - which was quite a sight.
"I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who took part, all the runners and marshalls who came on a cold Sunday morning, it makes a big difference to our patients and their families."
Laura Warrington, who took part with fellow workers from Victoria Carpets in memory of colleague Chris Hirst, said: "It was really successful and we all finished.
"We think we raised nearly £1,000 which is really good. A lot of people were motivated because we were thinking of Chris and trying to have as much as we could while running it.
"Our [Chris Hirst] t-shirts created a lot of attention so it was a nice way for us to remember him.

U.S. Women's World Cup coach April Heinrichs says Hamm, at 31, is playing the best soccer of her career. After a divorce and shoulder and knee surgery, Hamm is healthy and happy. She will marry Boston Red Sox shortstop Nomar Garciaparra at the end of the year. Her WUSA team, the Washington Freedom, won the league championship and she led the league with 33 points — 11 goals and 11 assists. She has said this will be her last World Cup.
"I think there are certain parts of your life you hope to be at similar points. Personally, I am happy," she says. Garciaparra has "brought a lot of joy and love into my life. He's my best friend. I have support from someone I truly trust and deeply care about. He's just one of the greatest people I've ever met."
Though Hamm is perhaps the USA's most famous female athlete, though the spotlight again will be on her when the Women's World Cup begins this month, she somehow has comfortably remained Garbo in the age of celebrity tell-all. But now Hamm seems a bit more at ease with this contradictory tug of war: her desire to avoid the spotlight and her role as her sport's biggest star.
"In terms of embracing it, I think she's figured it out and said, 'This what I have to do' and she's accepted it, and she's not fighting it, not fighting it with herself," says Freedom coach Jim Gabarra.
Still, because she is so private, because she is surrounded by a cocoon of teammates who shield her when the glare gets too bright, when the curtain opens just a bit, the ordinary seems revelatory.
A little known fact about Hamm: She may carry her sport, but she can't carry a tune.
Recently a few members of the U.S. team were out for a night of karaoke after the WUSA championship game. Hamm and U.S. teammate Kate Sobrero were at the microphone to sing a rendition of Islands in the Stream. Dolly and Kenny they were not.
"Mia was awful," U.S. teammate Julie Foudy says.
After they finished, the place was nearly silent. Her teammates were doubled over in laughter. Hamm grabbed the mike back from the keeper of the karaoke machine. "I want to apologize to everyone for my karaoke tonight. That song did not do my voice justice. I have a really good voice. It was a little out of tune," Hamm said.
The crowd, serious karaokeers, was not amused by an amateur hogging the microphone.
Mia Hamm and Julie Foudy check out the giant-screen video at the Home Depot Center.
As Hamm nattered on, Foudy said, "Oh my God, you're going to get your (butt) kicked. Let's get out of here."
The next day, the players flew home for a short break. "I land and I get this voice mail," Foudy says. It was Hamm, pretending she had been kidnapped by the karaokeers. Hamm's voice was hoarse, and she spoke in a muffled tone.
"Julie, this is Mia. I'm talking like this because I'm in a trunk of a car," Hamm said. Then a banging noise is heard. "Help me. I can't get out. Call me."
Foudy, telling the story during training camp at Home Depot Center, erupts in a long laugh. "There's this misconception that she's so quiet and shy when in reality, she's one of the funniest people I know," Foudy says. "Which (ticks) reporters off even more because they don't see it, they're like 'Aw, come on, we want to see that side.' "
Teammates run interference
Hamm's teammates are very protective of her privacy. If a reporter asks U.S. teammate Kristine Lilly, who plays for the WUSA's Boston Breakers, where she sits with Hamm at Fenway Park, Lilly declines to answer.
On some teams, others might be jealous of one player getting so much attention. With this team, "The exact opposite has occurred," Heinrichs says. "Because Mia is humbled by the attention and marvelously deflective, her teammates are protective of her time and space. They huddle around her if someone catches her at a hotel or an airport, and they'll whisk her off if she gets caught too long somewhere."
Hamm is surrounded by players she literally grew up with — four of her current teammates also were on the 1991 Women's World Cup team, as was Heinrichs. Though she is eloquent and accessible in victory and defeat, she does not have to be her team's spokeswoman. That role invariably falls to Foudy or Brandi Chastain. Nor is she one of the captains — Foudy and Joy Fawcett are.
"People come to me and say you've done so much for this game and blah, blah, blah and one of my answers is, 'I might be the face, but I'm definitely not the brains to this whole thing,' " Hamm says, particularly referring to Foudy's leadership skills.
Because of all this, because she repeatedly credits her teammates for any success, because she is so self-critical of her own transcendent play, Hamm has been criticized for never fully embracing her celebrity. It is a statement that puzzles her.
"I don't say I'm the best because I don't think it," she says. "I don't need to be on the cover of every magazine because there are 19 other players on this team and 10 other players who every single day in practice help me become better, who pick me up when I don't play well, who cover for me when I don't show up to play.
"I understand there's a responsibility, and I disagree with some of the things that say I haven't embraced it. For a person who hasn't embraced it, I've seen a lot of magazine covers, I know I've done tons of interviews and tons of photo shoots, and I do it because I feel a responsibility to the game, to make it better and leave it better than what is was when I got here.
"I don't know. I don't know what people what me to do? What do you want me to say? Or what do you want me to be? That's what I don't understand. It's one of those double-edged swords. Jeremy Shockey has embraced it, maybe too much for some people's liking."
Found home in sports
Mariel Margaret Hamm was born in Selma, Ala., but didn't stay in one place very long. Her father, Bill, was an Air Force colonel, and she spent her childhood in California, Virginia, Texas, Kansas and Italy. Because she was shy, she says she struggled to fit in among strangers, but she felt at ease and made friends through sports. At 15, she joined the national team and four years later, she was the youngest member of the inaugural Women's World Cup team and a starter.
Though Hamm is considered the world's best women's player, she sees herself quite differently. "I look at myself as that same scared kid growing up trying to fit in, just trying to make it," she says.
In a sports culture in which athletes proclaim themselves "The Chosen One" before they've played a meaningful game, this is distinct.
"I think that's part of what makes her so great in her 16th year on the national team," Heinrichs says. "We have younger players who are more satisfied with themselves than Mia Hamm is. Genuine, wholesome discontent epitomizes most of the players on this team. That's why she's such a great role model. She does go into this World Cup hungry, wanting to achieve more than she's ever achieved in a World Cup and but most importantly, and above all, she wants to help her teammates win."
During her 16 years on the national team, she has traveled to about 20 countries, won four NCAA championships at North Carolina, married a Marine Corps pilot, won two World Cups and a gold medal at the Olympics, become an idol for scores of shrieking girls, broken the international scoring record for men and women, lost a beloved brother who suffered from a rare blood disease, tirelessly promoted the WUSA's launch, gotten divorced, missed more than half of the 2002 WUSA season while recovering from knee surgery, gotten engaged and then won the 2003 WUSA title.
Hamm has said her marriage to Christiaan Corry, whom she met at North Carolina, began to unravel when their careers kept them apart for long stretches. In 2001, divorce proceedings began.
Hamm met Garciaparra before the 1999 World Cup when the team was in Boston for a promotional event — Hamm beat Garciaparra in a penalty-kick shootout. They became friends and were engaged last year. Despite her desire to remain out of the spotlight, Hamm just happened to fall in love with someone as famous as she is.
"I think we have very similar lives in that we're both athletes and both two of the stars at what we do," she says. "I think we're very similar as people; we're never kind of content with who we are." Then she smiles. "We always feel we can be doing better."
When she is too hard on herself, Garciaparra helps provide perspective and vice versa. "A lot of the time, he says, 'Maybe you should follow your own advice, maybe you should listen to yourself.' Without getting too much into it," she adds, "I feel extremely blessed to have him in my life."
Do we need to know anything else? In a culture that craves details about Kobe's 8-carat mea culpa and the latest about J-Lo and Ben, Mia and Nomar just want privacy.
Foudy says: "My husband, Ian, who is from England, will always say to me, 'Why do Americans feel that they have tell every damn secret on television?' But Mia says, 'Why do I have to do that? Just because they want to know everything doesn't mean I have to tell them?' Damn right you don't. I have great respect for that. She says, 'I don't want to live a life in which I can't go out to eat.' "
"I am no better than anyone else," Hamm says, time after time. "Am I able to get a table at a restaurant before someone? Probably," she says. "But I very rarely ever use my name. When I give my name, I'll use Mariel."
Practice has just ended, and reporters are waiting. Seven players walk to the chairs where their nametags are affixed. The reporters follow. Of course, Hamm has been requested.
She sits. By chance, the reporters are standing by the chairs of others. So Hamm checks her cell phone for messages. Folds her hands. A minute passes. She is still alone. She spots Foudy, who is holding a camcorder.
"Julie, will you interview me?" Hamm says.
Foudy swoops in for a close-up, and both laugh at such a rare moment. Mia Hamm is alone.
"My name is Mia, and I have no one interviewing me right now," Hamm says. Then she pretends she's reporter. She jumps from her seat and asks the empty chair, "Mia, how do you feel about this World Cup?"
She jumps back in the chair.
"Thank you for asking," Hamm responds.
The mock interview goes on, Hamm assuming both roles. The reporters, busy interviewing others, don't seem to notice. Mia Hamm is a ham. When no one else is watching.

Last week I posted something about the FBI's file on the late Steve Jobs. The feds' file on Jobs included comments from interviewees about the Apple co-founder's drug use earlier in his life as well as allegations that Jobs could be dishonest in his business dealings.
The post attracted a couple of comments, including one from a man who wrote, "I think it's a shame that we're nitpicking the details of his life just these few short months after his passing." (Jobs dies last October after a long struggle with cancer.)
That commenter included a link to a portrait he did of Jobs. Normally I don't click on promotional links in comments to my posts, but this one intrigued me, so click I did.
What I found was the work of a very talented artist named Brandt Hardin, who lives in Clarksville, Tenn., and describes himself as a "Pop Surrealist illustrator and designer."
The Jobs illustration to which Brandt linked can be seen below. It depicts Jobs as a cyborg-type character reminiscent of the Transformers, or maybe Iron Man if Tony Stark took it to another level.
I figured a lot of tech readers might enjoy Brandt's work, which also includes illustrations of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates (who engages in a cyborgean battle with Jobs), visionary fiction writer Aldous Huxley, and a whole bunch of legendary musicians -- John Lennon, Robert Johnson, Jerry Garcia, Kurt Cobain, Willie Nelson, Bob Marley and Dimebag Darrell.

Hong Q. Hou – Chief Executive Officer
Mark B. Weinswig – Chief Financial Officer
Kevin J. Dennean – Citigroup Global Markets
Kevin J. Dennean – Citigroup Global Markets
Thanks for attending Citi's Annual Technology Conference. My name is Kevin Dennean, I'm the Comm Equipment Analyst here at Citi. Thanks for joining us today. A couple of quick house keeping issues, first we do have disclosures up in front end, we encourage you to take a look at those. Secondly, the presentation it's being webcast, the format is going to be a presentation from EMCORE. Since you may up here in the stage and we'll turn it out to the audience for questions from you folks. If you do have a question raise your hand, we'll get a mike to you, so for the benefit of those listening on the webcast, so they have the benefit of hearing your question.
So we're pleased to have EMCORE back with us again this year. To my right here your left is Hong Hou, CEO of EMCORE; and to my left your right is Mark Weinswig, the Chief Financial Officer. Hong is going to kick it off with a presentation, get us caught of the speed on a story that I think has changed a fairly given out over last year itself. So with that I'll turn it over to you Hong.
Hong Q. Hou
Thank you Kevin. Good afternoon, as Kevin said I'll give you a update, EMCORE certainly to some of you are pretty familiar name, but over the last several years we have restructured the company especially in the last couple of quarters, pretty significantly. I think we are very excited about the business flowing out we have right now. And the first slide, just to give you a quick overview of the company. We run the fiscal year from October through September, so we'll be finishing our fiscal 2012. But in last year, our revenue roughly about $200 million and we operate headquartered in Albuquerque in New Mexico and our fiber optics components effort has been primarily in California.
We've a factory in China and we also have a joint venture on the solar side, solar energy solar power side we have 40% equity interest that is based in China as well. And the three primary operations in U.S, our headquarter in Albuquerque, which is also the site of design and manufacture of space solar components and solar panels for satellite. And the other two main locations are in Pasadena, California area and Newark, California area in the Bay area.
So we had four business units and in two business segments, one segment is in Fiber Optics and the other one is a Solar Photovoltaics. And actually over the last three months we have gone through a pretty substantive restructuring as Kevin mentioned. And we about a year ago the management team along with our Board of Directors had a very thorough review on the product line profitability.
So we get a pretty diverse portfolio of which some of the products and reaches now almost the end of life, so we decided to discontinue some of the products. We are the first couple of other areas for example enterprise fiber optics components, which needs significant investment to keep the leading position. And we decided to divest that business and we did, we sold the Fiber Optics business VCSEL-based to Sumitomo in early May.
The other area we've been contemplating a different strategy over the last actually two, three years with the CTV our concentrated photovoltaics. So basically a solution based on high efficiency solar cell, we developed that for space power applications combined with the optics to solve and to try to provide the most cost effective solution for a land based solar power applications. As you will probably know that market has been I would say very dynamic in the last couple of years, we feel like try to catch a falling knife, so there's too much risk, too much exposure and about a month ago we decided to consolidate the entire effort into our joint venture with a Chinese partner and we'll still maintain a 40% of equity interest and but we would not have any further investment into that area.
So after this two major restructuring along with a tremendous effort to recover from the flood impact in Thailand for our contract manufacturers, we now are pretty excited about they are lined up and in the next presentation we'll be changing our – the business to line up basically right now we have three operating divisions; space, solar, those are broadband, cable TV and telecom optical components.
Out of this three there are two of them that really are pretty established, stable business and we're the market leader and the revenue combine this two divisions roughly about $150 million and a gross margin about 28% to 30%, operating margin in a range about 8% to 12%. So we have a great visibility and a lion share in the market in strongest competitive positions in the market place.
Back to this division we called broadband, the other one is called the space solar power. For these two divisions, the business representing about 5% to 10% year-over-year growth. They are cash cows but they are not ready to driving engine for the group. But the driving engine out of our business portfolio, is the telecom optical components and after to carve out of the enterprise optical component that part was really you have two major product lines, one is the ITLA, that the integrated tunable laser assembly and ideally suited for 40 and 100 gigabit even in the future of 400 gigabit coherent transmission system. The other one is a newly introduced a product Tunable XFP for 10 gigabit small form factor (inaudible).
So in the next few slides, I'll give you more detailed update in each of this three business areas, and then leave plenty of time for you to ask any questions. Talk about our broadband fiber optics business, first. This is a portfolio primarily attracts the transmitting, receiving line cards in say your cable TV fiber collections, hybrid fiber collection network to provide broadband single-play services. With a leading supplier, we probably have about 75% of the share in North America, our customer base is basically who is who and everyone equipment manufacturer space Motorola, Cisco, Aurora. Harmonic and Arris, and also some second tier equipment manufacturers.
We have been providing the key components have been driving the innovation to industry and it will provide multi cost effective way to operate the network, so that they will have enough bandwidth to compete with Telcos Fiber To The Home infrastructure and bandwidth offering.
In addition we have some differentiating technology in the Terahertz area in a radio frequency over fiber and also the Fiber Optic Gyro. Those are the enabling technology we believe over the next several years, we'll be able to build a pretty strong business and which can deliver 25% year-over-year growth. But a cable TV side fundamentally will have about 5% to 10% year-over-year growth.
Again the competency in this area is not as serious as say in a telecom enterprise optical space. And we were able to hold on a pretty good margin and we continue to innovate and reduce the cost through engineering design and our fulfillment infrastructure was damaged during the flood and we rebuild the manufacturing infrastructure in a wholly owned subsidiary in China. And so we expect over the next several quarters, we'll be able to improve the operating margin to internal manufacturing. But right now, we've fully recovered from the flood and in terms of the capacity and the cost structure of that end of the September.
So the product we offered again, if you are seeing isn't what we are allow to show it's here, as more to send a long pizza box format, our primary business is the ODM, we designed the product in the line card and private label for our customers. So that's our broadband business,
Telecom Fiber Optics business and this is really the growth engine and this is the area representing probably the fastest growth of the optical component industry. So we again in this business unit we have two product lines, one is a tunable laser over the entire C-band or L-band, viewed upon the external cavity laser platform, so this laser is really be considered as the laser choice by the industry for 40 gigabits and 100 gigabits coherent applications. And we have been developing and improving this laser design over the last 15 years through our ownership at EMCORE, our previous ownership entered Intel. It's really very difficult to make and then representing a very high barrier for competition, but the unique attribute or characteristic of this laser is really perfectly suitable for the coherent applications.
Today for our 40 gigabit and 100 gigabit, even in the future 400 gigabit per second applications. The second part of line is 10 gigabit tunable XFPs, this one is a pretty hard product as well and the primary target is to replace the fixed wavelength DWDM XFP transceivers and 300-pin transponders and for where the equivalent performance in much smaller form factor and power consumption.
So the market driver for our tunable XFP is to replace 300-pin transponder as I talked about and the fixed wavelength XFP that had aggregated total addressable market, anywhere from the kind of which report you're reading and the $250 million to even $400 million, $500 million per year, and we've seen a lot of applications the replacement of the fixed wavelengths, part of way to the replacement of the 300-pin transponder that effort just started and the reason that's important to notice the timing is that we're not number one, in tunable XFP and JDS Uniphase and Finisar are probably more established like a better market penetration, but we believe our product has the better performance for the applications that we are replacing 300-pin transponder, when that application start picking up we should be benefiting from that favorable churns to us.
Then the product line of tunable ITLA is really as I said for the coherent architecture, but two years ago, people have a lot of debate in coherent and NiTi applications are mainstream, I don't think they are in much of the debate at this point anymore because of the total compatibility to 40 gigabit to 100 gigabit even in the future of 400 gigabit and coherent, it's becoming the mainstream in every equipment manufacturers, if they have not having their own system to deploy. They are working to deploy and developing that systems. And we are riding up front and center of this new wave of industry trend.
So the manufacturer infrastructure was also damaged by the Thailand flooding and fortunately, we were keeping our heads down in the last year or so, we've got that the ITLA production line fully filled up and right now we are running a full capacity at a pre-flood level. About a month ago, we announced our plan to increase the capacity by another 50%, so we are in a process of receiving the key along these equipment, which should be getting the additional capacity put in place within four months. So with the additional capacity, we'll be able to have a run rate above $50 million a year. That infrastructure can support the revenue level of a $50 million a year.
So then the tunable XFP line was damaged by the flood and also. And we rebuild it and right now really are at we still doing the manufacturing in the Bay Area facility, needless to say that not are cost competitive. So we are shipping products at a negative gross margin and now I'd mentioned about a year ago when we review the product line profitability, we have 12 product lines losing money, and through this one year restructuring, right now the only product line we're losing money is this one, tunable XFP. But we have a clear path to fix this problem, the path is that we view the line at Fabrinet in Thailand.
We had produced a part in a qualification side to half way through that. Our key customers are scheduling to – are scheduled to visit us to have their on-site ordered later part of this month. So we expect it by the end of October, we should be getting the green light from the two key customers that's representing about 65% to 70% of our current demand for the tunable XFP out of the 15 qualified customers. So once we've got this tool going the others should follow. We're pretty optimistic, by the end of December everything we should get our product line fixed to not having any for losing money, product line.
So at the end, in pictorial form, the tunable XFP is on the left-hand side and that ITLA is laser integrated with the control circuit for wavelength tuning. We also separately offer a sub assembly product, which has kept our engines in the tunable XFP to some selected customers. In this area we are not only offering the market-leading products, we have a couple of generations of the products in our roadmap. Immediately we are begin the development is a 100 gigabit CFP Transceivers and micro-ITLAs, and then followed after that is the integrated products within the tunable lasers and the modulators were 40 and 100 gigabit of applications.
Our strategy is that we have a narrower product portfolio compared to our peers in the industry, but we wanted to fully exploit the advantage of this platform, external cavity laser, so that we can fully utilize our manufacturing infrastructure and our knowledge base.
In our view, that coherent it's just started at this point, it started with the line card, then it's going to be expanded into the transponder transceiver area. When that happening – when that transition is happening, the industry need a compact small form factor and low power optical engines. And we wanted to get ourselves ready before that transition happens.
So again the recovery at this point of time we pretty much get a fully recovered for every product line and manufacturing infrastructure, compared with the pre-flood level. And the added capacity, it's really to satisfy the increasing demand from the marketplace and the customers.
So we have a very strong customer base I think it's fair to say, the telecom side that there are no customers they haven't qualified our products. So when we increase the capacity we don't really have to say qualify additional customers, it's simply driving the favorable market share shift to our side. And on half of that, the industry is forecasting a very healthy growth. In the telecom side, we're able to demonstrate pre-flooding 100% revenue growth year-over-year for two years in a row. We're expecting the telecom side to continue to grow at a pace probably greater than 60% year-over-year.
So on the solar side people would often ask this is really different things. Yeah, there are little synergy between solar and fiber optics component, how do I get there is because of the company's legacy and history, in core competency of semiconductor material devices. So it's a good cash cow business and very stable and very, they are going to get a long visibility. We have multiple years supply agreement with almost all key customers in the aerospace industry. So counting in the three years our backlog is in the $90 million range. And with the schedule to be delivered is in the $46 million, right now we have in the backlog.
What we have is a multiple-junction solar cells and some of them we integrate into the solar panels, and this is for radiation-hardened application of the spacecraft. Their most recent launch is the Curiosity to Mars and we supply the solar panel, which powered the spacecraft to cruise from the earth orbit over to Mars. And we have launched, supported over 110 programs so far which have the spacecraft launched and they are operating in the orbit. We had zero on-orbit failures. So we are actually very well recognized in the industry as a quality and reliability leader. For that we can commence some premium they can reduce the insurance premium cost.
At the end of product, in this areas as we supply solar cells to some customers, we supply the fully integrated solar panels. The business in this area again it's about $60 million to $70 million of gross margin, about 30% and the operating margin about 8% to 12%. So it does have a little bit variability because we do all the manufacturing in Albuquerque, so we have our fixed cost and it depends on our program timing. If $4 million roll into one quarter the other quarter can cost some variability in margins. But we are basically in duopoly situation, the only other competitor viable one is a subsidiary of Boeing company. And we are the sole supplier to many of the aerospace industries.
So this is a great business we get a good visibility and you know there are about 320 geosynchronous orbit satellites in there, and their service life is only about 15 years. So every year, we need to replace about 20 some satellites. Translate into dollar amount, this 20 some might long solar panel level is about $150 million business.
So you know I think this is sustainable it's not really going to be impacted by the government spending much because our total revenue mix is only about 10% are from the government. But that also representing a upside it really, if the spending cycle comes back in the future, we are fully ready because our infrastructure is certified as the trusted supplier by our government.
So I would just use a one slide to talk about our joint venture, a couple of years ago, we established a CTV joint venture with a Chinese company, the largest LED manufacturer, called San'an Optoelectronics. They have a tremendous type of penetration and great relationship with the local governments, so we view the facility, it's fully up and running, and we have produced about 35 megawatt of CTV modules and we're scheduled to get out 50 megawatt complete before the end of this year and get them installed. And next year, the infrastructure can support 100 megawatt, and now the solar market right now is crazy. It's really very dynamic, very risky, but the near term focus for Suncore, is going to be on the Chinese market only to the area, they values the unique contribution of more power generation by CTV systems.
I think the industry is going to be going through a restructuring consolidation after that we will see how to go but, no matter what to through this transaction we announced about a month ago, and EMCORE does not have any exposure on the loan balance sheet basically we wrote off all the investment on our balance sheet. They are no impact on the income statement either, because according to equity accounting principal, so it's a lot of gain of the joint venture is not going to be reflected in our P&L unless it goes to the positive territory.
So last slide to recap basically a take away once you to have is that we are different EMCORE now, we are absolutely, I think the management and the Board of Directors have never been this determined to drive the profitability. We had gone through the restructuring, we have recovered from the floods. And now the three business units, two of them are the cash cow, have this very stable and predictable performance with the profitable business. And the telecom representing the fastest growing business, the two products probably two components, the two product lines are the two fastest growing product lines in the industry.
So the ITLA already recovered and it's already profitable, the only one we're working on to turn that around is tunable XFP. By transferring manufacturing from Bay Area to Thailand and ramp up the certain capacity, we'll turn that product line to profitability. Therefore, the whole company, the combined basis will be turning into profitability, again. If you remind – I'm saying the profitability so many times that's really the single focus for the management team, in the next several quarters. Thank you very much.
Kevin J. Dennean – Citigroup Global Markets
Hong, once you join us back here and maybe we can talk a little bit, there's a lot of stuff and clearly a lot of changes at EMCORE over the last year, just want to frame it out a little bit. So when we think of EMCORE, we should think about it as being kind of leaner, meaner, EMCORE that's wholly focused on profitability. And is it right when we look at, talk about the solar business first, I just wanted to make sure that we understand it correctly, your CTV business has been essentially de-risked the passing into a JV, where it doesn't pull through the P&L and is it fair to say that you don't have really kind of capital requirements in terms of funding that business in terms of CapEx and things like that.
Hong Q. Hou
Right, okay, so we contributed capital and the joint venture partner they generated tremendous governmental subsidy, so they are well capitalized, and we do not have any fund, they don't have any need for further capital investment.
Kevin J. Dennean – Citigroup Global Markets
And then, Mark this space solar business that stays within EMCORE and it's sounds like that is kind of the CFO, dream business right, really secure position, Hong spoke about much of back.
Mark B. Weinswig
We love that businesses and it has $45 million of backlog and this backlog will be cyclical in the next 12 months. So we typically have about 85% and 90% coverage of the every internal quarter, it's profitable and it has an operating margin of 8% to 10%, which is a very nice business to have.
Kevin J. Dennean – Citigroup Global Markets
And it's sort of business you think any time that you hitting that so many [news] of semiconductor we should think about utilization rate because that is always kind of a leverage point. It's the sort of business that you are able to maintain both the steady state utilization rate, so that margins and through puts are relatively confident.
Hong Q. Hou
Key thing for us is to making sure we've discern amount of revenue and so for us basically being between $63 million and $70 million, which means we are running the fab at very high capacity levels, which means that we can actually meet our target margins.
Kevin J. Dennean – Citigroup Global Markets
Okay. Terrific, right, so let's focus a little bit on the Telecom side after that we'll turn out the floor on Q&A. So in terms of you need a lot of tough decisions as an orientation of improving the product portfolio. And can you talk a little bit about you mentioned that you dug us your enterprise business. What was behind that decision, what was – and clearly it's driven by profitability what was in enterprise more profitable was it the scale issue, was it a product issue and why we play better going forward?
Hong Q. Hou
Yeah. So Kevin, the enterprise business requires, we have a list of facts, the list of facts, we primarily the supporting the internal need. So the internal needs as parallel to optical cables and active optical cables, we just did not have enough need to load the fixed infrastructure, you are talking about semiconductor manufacturing.
Kevin J. Dennean – Citigroup Global Markets
Hong Q. Hou
That's right on the fixed cost is too high for us to maintain the fab. But if we go to the marketplace to get a list of components on the open merchant, it's not exactly working very well, it's takes a long cycle to get it qualified. So we kind of like facing this under utilization issue. Yeah we can get into more areas like a XFP plus but is already commoditized.
Kevin J. Dennean – Citigroup Global Markets
Hong Q. Hou
You have to invest more to get into the blood bath and we just feel like you know that's hard for us to turn that around.
Kevin J. Dennean – Citigroup Global Markets
Hong Q. Hou
But you can representing tremendous value to a company like Sumitomo who has other applications like automotive and consumer electronics.
Kevin J. Dennean – Citigroup Global Markets
Because they were will be able to take that mix of capacity.
Hong Q. Hou
Exactly, they can better utilize the fact certainly to our sense.
Kevin J. Dennean – Citigroup Global Markets
So let's focus now on similar remaining telecom products, and may be you can talk about too specifically. The Tunable laser business and its application in coherent and may be you can talk a little bit about tunable XFPs. What's different about how EMCORE provides the tunable laser and you really wanted to. I think you said that – I think also the technology difference that you have versus competitors if you miss that all, I can start up now, and I'll leave it to the doctor, if we were to kind of walk through that. You know everybody has a little bit of a different design technology going after the tunable laser market. We use the what's known as store cavity laser, it allows us to have really superior performance especially in when you talk about the needs of 40 and 100 gig kind of the surgical requirements and they aligning it. Our laser basically becomes the laser of choice of this market.
You know prior to flood we thought that we had about 85% plus market share. And now that we have aligned the back, around back up we are looking to basically be able to go back and get as much market share back as we can.
Mark B. Weinswig
So this laser really has been designed and manufactured and probably seven to eight years ago, primarily to support 300 pin transponder as of now. And because we initially I see is not that good, and EML performance is not that good. So our lasers was used primarily to support that. Two of that will have established a very mature manufacturing infrastructure. When the coherent concept started four, five-years ago, first, we were working with Nortel and [Ciena] in a key equipment manufacturers. And we were working with them very closely, very quickly we'll realize this really laser of the choice.
All the key attributes been it's like a narrow bandwidth high power and stability wavelength in everything you need for the coherent applications. Then very quickly was adopted by the industry and pre-flood we had pretty much everyone already qualified. So yeah certainly there are some competition in some of them is using the monolithic laser the DSC lasers. But is it more a fundamental design issue. And it's not like they are not capable of improving it., if they don't want to change their platform drastically, though not have a easy way to improve the laser performance to meet the coherent laser applications, when they chance to platform they encroach into our intellectual property territories. No, think we'll have a significant lead in this area in foreseeable future, and if I've to predict I don't see any way if you look it at catch up in that performance in the next 18 months.
Kevin J. Dennean – Citigroup Global Markets
And is that a function of the fact that you are an external. You've in terms of the cavities longer and we are in competitive products what do they bring to market.
Hong Q. Hou
They use the semiconductor about a millimeter or two millimeter long cavity, but if you
Imagine, if you can get it stretched to half an inch to an inch at length. It' going to be so
expensive to make so low yield and the performance it's going to be compromised.
Kevin J. Dennean – Citigroup Global Markets
And at the same time you said that your external cavities service like laser, it's a mature product and through manufacturing process, it's actually your yield probably pretty high.
Hong Q. Hou
So there yeah and we have gone through the learning curve, several years ago.
Kevin J. Dennean – Citigroup Global Markets
I've a quick question on kind of demand trends on that and we'll turn the floor for question. Can you talk a little bit about and demand trends on 40G and 100G I understand you mentioned that you currently manufacture, if I understood it correctly the current manufacturing that in your California facility, is planned to send the manufacturing over to China. But have how is the demand trend been, have you seen kind of continuous ramping is it more fits and starts, smoothening your curve?
Hong Q. Hou
So that the demand trend for this ITLA product line right now we know really we recovered to the pre-flood capacity, we still have to mouth. And ITLA laser is manufactured out of the production line, is spoken to, into the customers right away. And I think we through this, the flood process has starved the supply chain so much I think even the overall market take a pause there, leveled off a little bit because of CapEx I think our customer are probably smart enough try to stock pile a little bit, a month, to two months supply. So that's why we committed capital to build additional capacity of a 50% more. As for tunable XFP, we have 15 customers qualified using our product in their commercial shipment system. But you know we are facing a dilemma, the more we produce in the Bay Area, the more money we would lose.
We have to be comparative in the pricing. But we don't want to develop a gap. When we develop a gap to the customers, they haven't get any parts from us for a while, our name will drop off their radar screens, so we in that funny periods and but that period is going to be ending in October.
Kevin J. Dennean – Citigroup Global Markets
Hello, we see if we have any questions in the audience. The mike is coming.
Unidentified Analyst
I'm just wondering, I noticed I'm one of your customer chart you had Opnext and Eau Claire, I was wondering, what you were actually selling to Opnext and Eau Claire, I think of them as more a competitors.
Hong Q. Hou
They are in many areas and that had also acquired the 40 gig and 100 gig (inaudible) line card transponders business, the Mintera for Oclaro, and StrataLight for Opnext in the past, they are using ITLA as well.
Unidentified Analyst
And then back to the 10G except pretty established market well (inaudible) issue is there and I think Finisar. What's your landscape going to look like?
Mark B. Weinswig
The landscape looks like if you think about yeah there are two more established suppliers in there. But in order to make tunable XFP you probably pretty much have to have your own laser stores. Look at today maybe four five companies are capable of moving and making that. They are five or six year ago there are probably 25 companies making 300 pin transponders. So I think in three, four suppliers it's not really crowded space we'll get our fair share of business. Also for one particular application which is 300 pin transponder replacement, we do believe we have advantage if we operate at same price the performance as we were told by some customers, our product is the only one as today, can meet the current 300 pin transponder specification. So any other questions from floor.
Unidentified Analyst
I've one quick follow up on that, and it's somewhat similar question So (inaudible) optical transceiver it's a very messy market charge rate. And commoditize them as a tunable it seems that there is secret (inaudible) of tunable laser. But how you are going to win, how you are going to design win, you've talked about one specific application for tunable transponder replacement, but in a broader sense how do you break into that market, is it do you think that OEMs want to kind of balance quarters across a small – a few components provided, is it, will it be on price, will it be on reliability, capacity and supply chain. So just wondering how do you get traction in that market. We've heard other people talk like getting in there. And to a great extent it's still JDSU's market.
Hong Q. Hou
Yeah, it's tough and for the MSA product especially it's tough, we are selling our performance for a tenability, power and 300-pin direct replacement, we think in those specification, those niche applications, not niche, exactly it can be pretty big market when the replacement started.
We have a better advantage of that. And also the equipment manufacturer, the reason they develop MSA, they want to have market to get lighter, so that they can, we can fight out for our fair share of the business. It's not going to be easy, but we will get out there our fair share of allocations.
Kevin J. Dennean – Citigroup Global Markets
But it sounds like really where you think your best opportunities would break in without using prices (inaudible) the performance because of the 300 pin transponder.
Hong Q. Hou
Kevin J. Dennean – Citigroup Global Markets
Okay. Perfect. With that I think we are out of time. Thanks everybody for joining us. Hong, Mark thanks very much, we appreciate it. Thanks.
Hong Q. Hou
Thank you, Kevin.
Mark B. Weinswig
I appreciate it. Thanks.

Gerard Butler: West Hollywood Pit Stop
Gassing up in West Hollywood, Gerard Butler was spotted at a fuel station yesterday afternoon (January 26).
The "P.S. I Love You" stud looked hunky in a button-up shirt with distressed jeans and sunglasses as he gave a quick wave to the paparazzi.
As for Brandi Glanville's claim that she had a week-long sexual escapade with Butler (she rated him an 11 out of 10), Gerard says he's never heard of her.
When asked about the alleged tryst, Butler nonchalantly replied, "Who's Brandi Glanville?" and walked off.

Jimmy Fallon Gossip
Jimmy Fallon gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
JT honours Fallon but really himself
TIME has released its annual list of the 100 Most Influential People in the world. Jimmy Fallon was included and Justin Timberlake was asked to write a few words in celebration of his friend's achievement. Before enjoying Justin's piece though, take a minute to check out the other entries: Celine Dion honoured Christina Aguilera -- click here Full Story
Tom Cruise is "for real"

Tom Cruise was on Jimmy Fallon last night. They had a water fight. And he talked, again, about go-carting and motorcycles. It was better than the night before on Letterman, slightly, but Top Gun is still, these days, painfully uncool, "for real". You know those commercials when they dress some dork up in a suit and he comes upon the cool kids all like, hey, yo, what's up in the hizzy and I'm down with the bros? Cringe, right? You cringe. Full Story
Annie & Katie
Theo Wargo /Getty, Sharpshooter Images /Splash
Katie Holmes was on Jimmy Fallon last night to talk about her play Dead Accounts with really good hair and doing a good job of being herself as Anne Hathaway being her. Someone wrote to me earlier today that her teeth look dirty. I dunno, I zoomed on them and they look fine to me. I wonder though if it's that so many of them bleach the sh-t so much out of their teeth that they're making people with normal teeth seem other. Full Story
Madge's LA Face & Ass

Madonna appeared on stage at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami, because she's all the club tracks, this weekend with Avicci who worked on MDNA which drops tomorrow. I haven't heard the entire album. But I think I'll like it OK. As in a few catchy beats, something to throw on at the gym, but perhaps not super memorable. Full Story
Buble and a strong SNL
PUNKD Images
It was the strongest Saturday Night Live this season with Jimmy Fallon hosting. Tina! Amy! Tracy's signature Christmas move! And the ice skating at the end. WILL ARNETT WAS THERE! So much happiness! My favourite sketch was Beethoven, although it may have been a minute too long. And how smart was the one about the off-Broadway show? (Did anyone else wonder why the wicked smaht Tim Tebow sketch didn't come earlier? In place of the one with Kristen Wiig trying to take over the party? It made sense later during the farewell for logistics. Full Story
Justin Timberlake can't lead
Justin Timberlake simply doesn't sell at the movies the way he sells records. IN TIME was not certified platinum. IN TIME, with Pipsqueak firmly in the lead, was nowhere near gold either. Or silver. So he still has yet to prove that he can carry a movie. As you know though, that ego, it doesn't take well to rejection and failure. Full Story
Who's the star of The Social Network?
Actually, it's Jesse Eisenberg. But I guess you can't blame them for pimping Justin Timberlake the way they are. He gets an Entertainment Weekly cover with his castmates this week and he another one on his own. Pippy however does not play Mark Zuckberg. I just... wanted to make that clear. Full Story
Emmy Awards 2010
I thought the open was really good. And two Canadians represented too – both Cory Monteith and Nina Dobrev were invited to join in the Springsteen Glee homage led by Jimmy Fallon and almost stolen by Jon Hamm's amazingness. As for Fallon as host, well, it was a strong beginning and then the singing fallback got a little tired. Full Story
Jakey loves dancing
He really really does. He'll say yes to anything that involves goofy dancing. And I'll say yes to any video that involves him goofy dancing. He was goofy dancing last night on Jimmy Fallon. He's wearing a dumbass yellow jumpsuit and he's funny and adorable and hot and so f-cking cute. Full Story
Van Morrison > Justin Timberlake
Obviously. Jimmy Fallon Late Night premiere – did you watch? Can't blame him for being totally cranked the entire time. It was the first show after all. Hopefully he'll dial it back, chill out going forward. I buzzed for a full hour afterwards. There were ups, there were downs. The De Niro interview I enjoyed. Full Story
How long before…
Shelfy comes rushing in? Cameron Diaz was photographed happy and lovely yesterday in New York heading to a meeting – regardless what you think of them, Cammie D (unlike Jessica Biel) makes movies that actually get released in theatres! – just a few days before appearing on Jimmy Fallon's first week at Late Night.

The Raftery Curve
Skitmore, Martin (1996) The Raftery Curve. In Katavic, M. (Ed.) International Council for Building Research Studies and Documentation CIB W-55, 4-7 September 1996, Kaciceva, Croatia.
|PDF (122kB)
Raftery (1993) has suggested that project cost estimates be presented in the form of cumulative probability functions (Raftery Curves) rather than the current practice of single point estimates. This paper compares the Raftery Curves derived empirically for ten data sets gathered throughout the world. The most consistent feature of all the curves was found to be the shift associated with to the number of bidders entering bids for contracts. This is examined both in terms of bias and consistency. Contrary to some previous studies, no evidence was found of any trends related to the value size of projects.

And, of course, this propensity for insincerity is uniquely attributed to the Palestinians; it is not applicable to Israelis.
Yet even some who realize its insincerity cheered on Tuesday.
"Kids that age are incapable of insincerity," del Cecato said.
The overwhelming majority reproached him for insincerity and hypocrisy.
Even the more polished, informed, self-possessed Romney seems cursed with an Eddie Haskell air of insincerity and deceitfulness.
She was sure he loved her, and she did not fear his insincerity as much as her own distrust of him.

Dominic Monaghan Really Wants Everyone To Know Matthew Fox Beats Women All The Time
If you ever thought to yourself, "my, the cast of LOST must really be the closest of friends who had the best of times together," you're going to want to stop doing that because apparently Jack beat the shit out of women all the time (Presumably the wife he cheated on.) which made Charlie really regret dying in that underwater Dharma station to save his ass. Except now he wants everyone to know about it, so here's Dominic Monaghan going off on Matthew Fox beating woman during a Twitter Q&A with fans who prefer to have rosy memories of Jack despite the fifth and sixth seasons not making a lick of goddamn sense. Via Jezebel:
Becca wrote: "holla at matthew fox and tell him to get a twitter i beg of you"
Monaghan's reply?
he beats women. No thanks.
Wait, you might think, drinking is one thing, but just because he hit a woman once doesn't mean he does it all the time! That was Becca's train of thought. She replied to Monaghan in all caps: "I KNOW IT WAS WRONG BUT WHAT?! WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE GOOD TIMES YOU HAD TOGETHER?!"
Monaghan responded:
how do you know we ever did?you don't know either of us.he beats women.not isolated incidents.often.not interested.
A Lost fan going by the user name of Fate 815 snapped, "Spreading an accusation that EVEN eww-TMZ didn't make… How classy. Hope Matthew Fox sues you for defamation." And continued: "He knows nothing, he's just spreading rumors based on TMZ (!), hates Matthew Fox for personal reasons & bashes him." Another fan sighed, "I loved Dom but he just lost so much respect from me."
As for Monaghan, who is not exactly known for talking shit about people, these were last words (on Twitter, anyhow) on the subject:
It's very difficult to sue someone for speaking the truth.
Want to know the most amazing part about all this? The tweets are still there. So for those of you keeping score, not only did Dominic Monaghan end up banging Kate in real life, he's now daring Matthew Fox to sue him for telling everyone he beats women. But before you get carried away calling him the most badass little person on the planet like I almost did, remember this picture. Remember this picture.

Wells Fargo is upgrading the teller imaging technology it uses in its branches in an effort to better serve business customers who need to deposit batches of checks. In so doing, it hopes to better serve check-bound customers and give businesses quicker access to funds.
Banks have been extending their check deposit processing cutoff times ever since the passage of the Check 21 Act in 2004, which made it okay to create digital versions of the original paper checks into electronic formats for processing.
Since the federal law took effect, Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC), the fourth-largest U.S. bank by assets, has been working to find ways to improve deposit processing operations, including making enhancements to its ATM, mobile and branch channels. It is readying plans to begin pilots of full image capture at teller windows at a limited number of store locations later this year. The planned upgrade will extend the volume of checks customers can deposit at teller windows and enable branches to accept checks until they close their doors.
Wells Fargo boasts more than 9,000 stores nationwide, and each teller station is equipped with imaging technology. Currently, these scanning stations let staff image up to 10 deposit slips or checks while the customer is present.
Meanwhile, deposits of more than 10 items are transported daily to an operations facility for image capture and further processing. The reliance on physical transportation can cause hiccups. If there's bad weather, for example, a storm could prevent the checks from moving where they need to go quickly.
In its current iteration, the branch image capture technology, which Wells Fargo finished rolling out to all of its locations in June 2012, accommodates about 98% of customer needs.
In the full image capture environment, which will be brought about with an upgrade to the bank's teller software, all teller transactions will be image enabled, which will eliminate the need to move the items daily to an operations facility for additional processing.
"The more we can streamline and move [checks] electronically, the better the chance to reduce error," says Jerry Enos, executive vice president and head of operations.
The new technology will primarily benefit a small percentage of business customers that come to physical stores to deposit more than 10 checks. The advantages to business and retail clients will include later cutoff times and quicker collections of funds, according to Wells Fargo.
"We think it will help our customers succeed financially," Enos tells BTN.
The tentative plan is to start the full image capture tests in May, with possible pilot tests to take place in the mid-Atlantic and central United States areas. This will be followed by a rollout to all state locations in 2014, said Wells.
Analysts view the advancement, though minor, as a smart play and in line with industry trends.
"All banks and credit unions are looking at all methods to be efficient as possible," says Marc DeCastro, research director of customer-centric bank strategies at IDC Financial Insights. "One way of being efficient is maximizing technology in branches in which full image capturing at branch [occurs]. …It allows a bank to reduce or eliminate a need for a courier run."
Though check writing is on a decline, there are still a good amount of check and cash deposits coming to tellers, adds Bob Meara, a senior analyst at Celent.
Moving from imaging 10 deposits at a time to an undetermined amount isn't a "dramatic" move, but it's a smart improvement for Wells, says Meara. "Banks are looking intently at their retail models to cut costs and redirect energy from processing transactions to selling and serving customers," he says.
Meanwhile, Meara points out that he expects a bank would likely provide a customer a provisional receipt if he were trying to deposit 100 checks, so as not to clog up a line or make a customer wait.
To that point, Enos says: "We don't want to turn our stores into operational processing areas. Customers wouldn't like it."
In research published in September of 2011, Celent predicted that 85% of all U.S. financial institutions would deploy some form of branch image capture by the year's end. At the time, most banks were choosing to use deferred capture and balance workflow, as opposed to teller capture technology.

Just a note: FAS has no way to enforce that a sponsor in Group A is the person who adds someone to Group B. So if this policy were to start off with sponsors from cvsextras, I'd rather that the sponsors could sponsor anyone for the new group (not just people they sponsored in cvsextras).I have a topic. Casey Dahlin has been doing some good work on making https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JesseKeating/NewMaintainerContainment a reality. We're very close. One decision that I'd like to see discussed is what we use to prime the membership of the as of yet to be named elevated rights group. One suggestion has been to grandfather all of current cvsextras into said group, however I think this would make the later initiative https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JesseKeating/PackageACLOpening less successful. Instead I suggest priming the group with current sponsors, and allow any existing sponsor to promote the people they sponsor into the elevated group. I'm also open to further ideals or discussions on this.
I think this also maps better to the way we currently think of sponsors: they're people who are considered more knowledgable and capable of guiding other packagers' growth. They should be able to promote any other contributor not just people they've shown an interest in in the past.
I realize this is rather late notice and doesn't give a lot of time for discussion on this list, however Casey has been getting things done quicker than expected, which is a great thing.
Yeah, Casey is doing some great work this summer. -Toshio

ACT 2015 Publications
ACT 2015 has released a new publication, How to Strengthen the Institutional Architecture for Capacity Building to Support the Post-2020 Climate Regime. This paper focuses on how to improve the institutional architecture under the UNFCCC aimed at or involved in building the capacity of developing countries to address climate change.
ACT 2015 released a model analysis, Three Implementation Pathways for a 2015 International Climate Agreement. The report analyzes three possible implementation pathways of a scenario that was developed through the ACT 2015 project designed to limit the increase of global mean temperature to a maximum of 2°C. Each pathway is differentiated by timing of emissions reductions and is evaluated for its relative mitigation costs, adaptation costs, damages incurred, avoided damages and net benefits.
ACT 2015 released a phase out factsheet, Analysis Beyond IPCC AR5: Net Phase Out of Global and Regional Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Reduction Implications for 2030 and 2050, that provides a primer on the phase out of net global and regional greenhouse gas emissions and an analysis of the feasibility and scenarios required to meet the 2°C target. The brief clearly and succinctly answers questions on the timelines, energy sources, and challenges faced in trying to achieve a global net emissions phase out.
ACT 2015 released comprehensive legal suggestions for climate negotiators to secure a successful outcome in Paris. Read Getting Specific on the 2015 Climate Change Agreement: Suggestions for the Legal Text with an Explanatory Memorandum.
ACT 2015 has released research on key elements of the 2015 climate agreement:
- Elements and Ideas for the 2015 Paris Agreement. Read the full text and the executive summary of the paper
- Race to the Top: Driving Ambition In the Post-2020 International Climate Agreement
- Options for a Compliance Mechanism in a 2015 Climate Agreement

Dora's flannelette petticoat had been got off somehow—how I do not seek to inquire—and the Secret was covered with it.
The tawdry fluffiness of most of our womens dress and hair seemed like flannelette beside rich satin as compared with her.
My dresses was made out of cotton stripes and my chemise was made out of flannelette and my under pants was made out of homespun.
flannelette, which is woven to imitate flannel, is soft and light and is preferred by many who find woolen irritating.
Children's clothing should never be made of flannelette, it is so liable to take fire if the child approaches the grate.
Stupes or hot fomentations are cloths, preferably of flannel or flannelette, wrung out of boiling water and applied to the skin.
A long flannel or flannelette nightdress is used in this, instead of the blanket.
She selected a flannelette nightgown from a deep drawer marked: "Nightgowns and petticoats—Women's."
I thought I'd take off my flannelette petticoat, only the horrid strings got into a hard knot.
Lewis magazines should be kept in some form of box, the joints of which are made as gas-tight as possible with flannelette.

Leaves of Grass
BY Christian Ford
If you are what you eat then we are, overwhelmingly, grass. Wheat, rice, barley, oats, corn… we might eat almost anything, but we're specialists in grass. Now here's the strange thing. We don't just like any grasses. We prefer a small group of grasses that live less than a year and are also specialists — in disaster.
The majority of our food crops are annuals. That means that they sprout, grow and die all in one year. It would seem impossible, especially if you've crossed the midwest and its sea of wheat, corn and soy, but annuals, in the big picture, as a percentage of all species in the plant kingdom, are rare.
Now, if you're like me, that just seems intuitively wrong. Even if you discount the synthetic landscape of the American Lawn, grass still seems to be everywhere, from the edge of the road, to the cracks in your driveway, to that vacant lot down the street. But it's not because we're planting it, even accidentally. No, we just go together, like the Wicked Witch and her flying monkeys.
In the natural world, disasters abound. Forest fires, landslides, droughts, floods, volcanoes, disease, all of these can lay waste to the respectable, committed, long-term plant communities. The role of an annual grass is to be the opportunist, the first to recolonize the ravaged landscape. If nature was a movie, grass would be the live-fast, die-young punks who colonize the post-disaster city, giggling as they loot the McMansions. Eventually, the forces of order will push them out, but not before they've taken a substantial share of the wealth.
That wealth exists in the soil in the form of fertility, and it's the product of decades, sometimes millennia, of work by established perennial communities. A forest, woodland or perennial grassland, like the original prairies that covered the midwest, all endure because they don't take out what they don't replace, the nutrients cycling and the rainfall captured. When some disaster disrupts this kind of community, a complete ecosystem, populated by a great richness of plants and the animals, a diversity of life, is replaced with something much more singleminded — the annuals. They grow fast by mining the accumulated riches in the soil, and they pack those nutrients into their seeds. It is as though they threw all their loot into a gunny sack, ready to move on to the next thing. This is a trait that endeared them to our equally mobile ancestors.
That's what triggered the really big disaster, the one bigger than all the rest, humankind.
About 6,000 years ago, as the foundations of the western diet were being domesticated in central asia, there was a culture of farmers who've come to be known by the names of their favorite crop and favorite animal — the Wheat-Beef People. They were farmers, but they weren't the stay at home type. They couldn't be, because their culture was based on a plant that quickly used up fertility in the perennial grasslands they plowed up, meaning that they had to keep moving, to find fresh grasslands to plow up. Problem was, those grasslands were the territory of other people, non-farmers. Solution was, kill 'em.
It took the Wheat-Beef People three centuries to farm and fight clear across Europe, only stopping when they got to the Atlantic. It might be more accurate to refer to that as an extended pause, considering that their descendants eventually crossed that ocean and did the same thing in the new world, waging war on the indigenous hunter-gatherers and eventually creating the vast sea of monoculture crops that now dominates the American midwest.
So there's a very uncomfortable parallel between the darker episodes of our history and the plant that history is built upon. Even when we're trying to do the right thing, we are, by nature, disruptive. We build cities, build roads, mine resources and, above all, we farm. And what is a farm but an artificial disaster? We break apart the soil, eliminate the existing ecosystem and let the annual grasses take over the joint.
It's easy to see why this appeals to the farmer. He or she works hard, and he or she wants a return on that labor. As long as there's virgin prairie over the horizon and a few billion less of us, it could make sense. But what worked for a neolithic farmer causes real problems in the hands (and machines) of his 21st Century counterpart.
The earth has what's called Primary Productivity — that is, the basic energy harvested from the sun which is converted to plant matter, which supports all life. This the total pie and there are 62,305 vertebrates sitting down for their own slice. Problem is, one species got there first, and scarfed down a quarter of that pie before anyone else got a chance. No prizes for guessing which one.
A big patch of industrial monoculture isn't nature, it's a factory for producing a single product. (Although some of those monocultures are so large that, in Germany, they now have become the habitat of communities of wild boars. Wild radioactive boars, but that's another story.) Monoculture farming doesn't leave any room for any other species ("weeds") or any other animals ("pests"). And that's tough if you're a non-human looking for your share of that primary productivity, without which, you're dead. So, in short, we need to go back to nursery school and learn to share.
It would also be helpful to enlarge our understanding of sharing to include the future. Sustainability is a word overused to the point of unsustainability. But what it means at its most fundamental is that what works today will work tomorrow. And tomorrow and tomorrow and so on without stopping. What that translates to is that sustainability means learning to share with the future.
Humans have a hard time with this. It's even enshrined in basic economic theory where it's called the "discount rate." It means that the same thing in the future just isn't worth as much as it is now. Of course, people actually living in the future, like your children, might find this to be a rather short-sighted and offensive point of view, especially when it's attached to the kinds of things that make their survival possible.
The good news is that, if we can get past our psychological sharing issues, the real, physical sharing is possible. Just because we're the heirs of the Wheat-Beef people (or their counterparts, the Rice People and the Maize People) doesn't mean we have to go on living like stone-agers. We've filled up all the arable land on the planet, which means that it's probably time to start looking for something new.
That something new has been going on for thousands of years in the tropics, but only recently has it been brought to life in the temperate zones. It goes by a variety of names — silvopasture, alley cropping, forest gardens — but they're all variants of the same basic understanding. If a forest can maintain itself for millennia, then why can't we grow our food in the same, non-catastrophic, way?
Martin Crawford, an Englishman who was once an organic farmer, decided instead to create a forest garden. What this meant first and foremost was discarding annual plants. That means also discarding just about everything that we're familiar with. But recall that humanity has about 80,000 more foods in its historical larder than the dozen or so that we mostly get by on now.
Crawford created a five acre forest where every level, from the trees on high, to the vines climbing them, to the berry bushes and the herbs on the forest floor, was not only edible, but were integrated into the imitation of a real, functional forest. It took a lot of experimentation and dead ends. But now, 16 years later, the garden is mature. It produces enough food to feed a family of five. And it takes him 20 days of labor per year to maintain. Let's assume that those are long, 12-hour days. That's a one-hour-a-day work week to feed your family. With three weeks off every year.
This gives me pause.
The rap on farming is, of course, "it's all very nice that all you young folks want to go back to the land, but I don't think that you genuinely comprehend how hard this is." Now I've double-dug a bio-intensive vegetable bed and I've shifted a truckload of compost with a shovel and I can tell you without a shred of doubt, that I lost on the calories spent/calories earned equation there.
But what if we look at in this way. Of course it's a lot of work. Why? Because we've inherited a tradition of farming that means the farmer takes it on her or himself to be an Olympian force of nature, wreaking total destruction on his land, and then struggling to bring it back to life — over and over and over. No wonder it's tiring.
There's one other thing to know about the annuals that we depend upon to feed ourselves. That we have reshaped the globe for. They're fragile.
Perennials with deep root systems and layers of symbiosis between the different plants can withstand erratic climate conditions. They're tough, resilient. Annuals aren't. Their response to too much rain, too little rain, too much cold, too much heat — is to shrivel up and die. They don't like extremes, and even when they don't drop dead, their productivity plummets as temperature increases.
In the world and the climate that our civilization has grown up in, this has been a reasonable trade-off. True, there are the occasional famines, but for the most part, it's worked. But the climate that shaped us is already gone, adapting to its new chemical reality. That leaves us, the disruptive animal, and our sidekick, the disruptive plant, to ponder our next moves. Only, of course, the annual grasses aren't going to do a whole lot of pondering. They will either adapt or die. That may be a small lesson for those of us on the other end of the fork.
