Top 20 profiles

The company's success earned it the No. 8 spot on the Top 100, with $4.2 billion in prime federal contracts.
The 2009 fourth-quarter results capped off "a very good year despite economic challenges and uncertainty about the U.S. defense budget," said Michael Strianese, L-3 chairman, president and chief executive officer, responding in writing to Washington Technology inquiries. "We had key awards in every business segment: imagery and intelligence analysis work, communications for unmanned aerial vehicles, microwave products,…training, [and] helicopter maintenance services."
Strianese said L-3's intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance business is an important driver of L-3's growth, pointing to particularly strong performance from the company's Stratis business unit.
In January, L-3 consolidated two divisions to create L-3 Stratis, bringing together its IT services in one organization. Les Rose is the president of the Stratis group. Some of the services it provides include managed IT services, business assurance and governance, mission and business applications, and infrastructure program management.
The new division is focused on defense, civilian, state, local and international customers.
In early March, Stratis received a three-year contract valued at $230.9 million to provide intelligence support services to U.S. and multinational forces in Iraq. The contract potentially extends to November 2012. L-3 will provide program management, counterintelligence support, intelligence analysis, intelligence planning and multimedia services at various forward operating bases and facilities throughout Iraq and in Tampa, Fla.
A second Stratis win, also announced in March, is nominally a one-year deal, valued at $24.8 million, to provide imagery analysis that supports the Special Operations Command. The cost-plus-fixed-fee contract includes an initial base year and four option years, with the scope of service extending to November 2014. The potential contract award value could amount to $155 million over five years if all options are exercised.
In late April, another notable win came from the Air Force Central Command. According to the fixed-price contract, L-3 will furnish cyber operators to manage, monitor and defend Air Force IT and network assets against malicious attack. The deal could potentially be worth $152 million over five years.
Other major Stratis customers include the Defense Information Systems Agency; NASA; the Labor, Justice, State, and Health and Human Services departments; and the Environmental Protection Agency.
It possesses spots on several contract vehicles, including Alliant, Millennia Lite, Mobis and the General Services Administration's Schedule 70. Stratis also holds a spot on DISA's Encore II contract and the National Institutes of Health's Chief Information Officers Solutions and Partners 2 contract.
In mid-April, L-3 completed the acquisition of the Londonderry, N.H., firm Insight Technology Inc. Terms were not disclosed. Insight develops and manufactures mission-critical night vision and electro-optical equipment. L-3 said the acquisition, renamed L-3 Insight Technology Inc., could add as much as $200 million to L-3's 2010 sales.

I'm all to familiar with the ISD and EITS consolidation/merger to the new STRATIS Division. I was as a systems engineer for L-3 and hit my 7 year anniversary with them in Dec 2009. Unfortunately, the merger also meant cuts to the support staff manning, including the IT Dept. So as of Jan 1, 2010, after investing 7 years of my life with L-3, I found myself out of a job with nothing to show for it. No severance pay, no thank you, nothing except a boot print on my behind. To make matters worse, they didn't even have the guts to tell me personally that my position was being cut. I found out while reviewing a powerpoint brief on the new STRATIS IT manning. Am I bitter over the incident? I'd have to say yes. But I do find comfort in watching their stock (LLL) continue it's downward trend. I'm retired Active Duty Air Force and my wife is currently Active Duty Air Force (47 years between us). It's my sincere hope that other separating or retiring service members see this post and think twice before contemplating employment with L-3. They used to be a great company to work for, but that started changing a couple years ago and has continually gotten worse. Unlike Lockheed Martin, L-3 has forgotten who they actually work for.

It's time for Christmas baking again! I love this time of year. The oven is on non-stop and wonderful smells coming out of the kitchen for days. Every Christmas cookie platter should have a cookie (or two, or three) that the kids love. These Peanut Butter Cup Brownie Bites are a kid favorite! Because, what's better than a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, enveloped in a homemade brownie??
This is my kick off to A Bountiful Kitchen's 6th Annual Christmas Cookie Extravaganza! Follow along on Instagram for other Christmas cookie recipes from years past.
This recipe is simple to whip up. It takes about the same amount of time as a brownie mix, but tastes much better! And you'll be able to pronounce all of the ingredients 🙂 If you know a peanut butter cup lover, you have to make this treat for them!
Peanut Butter Cup Brownie Bites
- 48 mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
- you will also need a mini muffin pan for baking
- 8 Tbs. 1 stick unsalted butter
- 4 oz. unsweetened chocolate broken up
- 1 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
Preheat an oven to 325°F.
Place mini muffin cup liners into pans ( about 48 cups).
In a saucepan over low heat, combine the butter and unsweetened chocolate.
Heat, stirring often, until melted.
Remove from heat and stir in sugar and salt.
Add the eggs and vanilla and stir.
Add the flour to the chocolate mixture and stir until just blended.
Do not over mix.
Using a small scoop or teaspoon, scoop the batter into the prepared mini muffin cups.
Bake for about 8-10 minutes, until brownie is barely set.
While brownies are baking, unwrap peanut butter cups and remove paper liners from bottom of candy, set aside.
After the brownies are done, remove pan from oven, press a peanut butter cup into the center of the brownie.
Let sit in pan until completely cooled.
Remove from pan.
Store in a tightly covered container for two days on countertop, or freeze until ready to eat.
Happy Baking!

One does not Surrender
a life in an instant.
That which is lifelong
can only be Surrendered
in a lifetime.
Elizabeth Elliott
Happy Thursday!!!
Hope you've decided to join us for the upcoming 40 Day Surrender Fast.
Just wanted to make sure you are prepared and equipped with everything you'll need for the next 40 days, starting this Monday, September 14th, 2015.
Right Now in the Pre-Fast stage….
We all can probably think of something to surrender; but here's where your first act of surrender enters. Wait on God. He'll give you exactly what to surrender.
I've noticed that when you surrender what God is giving you to surrender, He not only delivers you from one issue but you'll notice additional things happening that you didn't expect.
He may give you something to surrender that you may not even understand. Trust the process. It'll all be revealed in time.
Partner with someone….
If you're able, I would advise you to get an accountability partner.
Someone that can be there for you when you need someone to talk to.
Someone you can pray with.
Someone who can help keep you on track for a successful end.
Don't Give Up!!!
We've received emails from individuals who've because they messed up a few times, decided to give up.
It's not the mess ups that God is concerned about. It's in the finish. He just want your obedience. Not your perfection.
Things Needed…..
You'll need the Book.
The 40 Day Surrender Fast book will help you navigate through the fast from day-to-day.
You'll Need A Journal
This is where you'll be able to keep record in detail of how God is speaking and moving in your life.
You'll also be able to answer additional questions that are not found in the book, and you'll have more lines to write on which will ensure that you won't miss a thing.
Click Link to order your book(s)
Additional tools to support your fasting efforts….
In addition to reading The 40-Day Surrender Fast you can listen to the Prayer Calls from our corporate cycles of fasting.
In these teachings, Dr. Celeste and the DCOM Prayer Team partner with you for 40 days of prayer and fasting to empower you to draw closer to God, release strongholds, and move into your rightful position in the kingdom.
Download the MP3 today and use it to supplement to your 40 days of surrender!
Prayer Request?
If you have any prayer request please send them to firstname.lastname@example.com
Our Prayer team will be more than happy to partner with you in prayer.

The 'TJ Maxx of grocery stores' is coming for Kroger, Walmart, and Whole Foods
Grocery Outlet wants to be the TJ Maxx of grocery stores.
The Los Angeles-based regional chain has 251 locations and plans to expand to 376 by 2020, according to a recent profile in Frozen & Dairy Buyer magazine cited by RetailWire. It is on-track to gross $2 billion in sales this year.
TJ Maxx offers lower prices than department stores by paring down the shopping experience and passing savings on to consumers. The apparel store has been blamed for the downfall of brands like Nordstrom and Macy's.
Grocery Outlet says it sells items at a 40% to 70% discount off regular stores' prices by offering surplus items, seasonal closeouts, and discontinued items. While some of its items aren't up to manufacturer standards, none of what it sells is past the sell-by date.
Here's why Grocery Outlet is becoming a viable threat to industry giants like Walmart, Kroger, and Whole Foods.

Great Hunger comes to Laois
THIS Friday evening sees the Theatre Makers presents The Great Hunger, a play based on the epic poem by Patrick Kavanagh at Dunamaise Arts Centre at 8pm.
First published in 1942, this epic poem deals with the trials and tribulations of its central protagonist; Patrick Maguire, a small farmer in post-treaty Ireland. Maguire fails to seize day after passing day as he watches in despair his life edge closer and closer to an unconsummated conclusion. On his 'headland of carrots and cabbage' he dreams of an idyll of marriage and children and yet boasts to his friends of his mastery in avoiding every 'net spread in the gap of experience'. His life is an endless cycle of feeding the hens, boiling the kettle, lighting the fire and giving the cows their hay, with only the monotonous certainty of Sunday Mass or the meagre offerings of the crossroads to look forward to, by way of social life. And yet sometimes when he is on the land, he has the most profound, life-giving experience of the spiritual in nature. Kavanagh masterfully mediates all of this - Patrick Maguire and his world - through a beautiful tapestry of words and images.
This is Jack Healy's second one-man-show. He performed his own piece; Shostakovich - based on the life of the Soviet composer - as part of Cork Midsummer Festival in 2009. Artistic Director of Theatre Makers Ltd, Jack is a Cork based actor and playwright who has written extensively and worked as an actor with other Cork based companies, Corcadorca, Graffiti and Meridian. Tickets are on sale now from the centre.

Religion and Sci-Fi mixing
A Hickory Lace Adventure: Book 1 of the Prosperine Trilogy
science fiction, adventure, religion, metaphysical, visionary
Patrick McDermott Publishing
June 1, 2015
For sixty years, the Alien Corps has searched for the Second Son of God.
When a native on the planet Prosperine is reported to be exorcising demons, curing blindness, and healing the sick, Hickory and her team are sent to investigate. If this "Teacher" proves to be the one in the prophecy, it will signal the beginning of the apocalypse.
But Hickory and her superiors aren't the only ones interested in Prosperine. A sinister galactic force is planning to seize the planet's reserves of crynidium, the key to faster than light travel. If they succeed, their next stop will be Earth and its colonies.
Hickory needs to stop the insurgents, discover what the Teacher is up to, and decide whether he is a fraud—or perhaps the very person the Alien Corps has been searching for.
Something new here in terms of theme – the mix of religion and sci-fi giving adventure a twist.
I thought it an interesting take on the 'first contact' theme and what you can and cannot do when you meet one of the many humanoid species out there in deep space.
So there is a new saint discovered in the 22nd century who has foretold another messiah with a new set of gospels demonstrating what s/he would be like and it is the mission of the Council to check all such reportings for veracity under the rules concerning first contact.
A reasonable story but didn't inspire me to want to read more.

According to a Manteca Police Department investigation, the 58-year-old man arrested last week on a host of felony child sexual assault charges used threats of violence to manipulate his two juvenile victims.
Russell W. Otto was arrested on Friday by Manteca Police Department detectives after it was determined that he had used his relationship with the family – who were neighbors – to befriend the two children when they were under the age of 12. Otto reportedly molested the victims for five years, and per the report of Child Abuse and Sexual Assault Detective Stephen Schluer, it appeared that Otto had no other victims.
He is currently being charged with lewd acts upon a child with force, lewd acts upon a child under the age of 14, continual sexual abuse of a child, forced oral copulation of a child under the age of 14, forced oral copulation of a child under the age of 14 and aggravated sexual assault of a child.
Otto is set to appear in Department 1 of the Manteca branch of the San Joaquin Superior Court today at 1:25 p.m.

How to Convert a Whiskey Barrel to a Rain Barrel
On a 1,000-square-foot roof, 1 inch of rain creates 623 gallons of runoff water, according to the Master Gardeners of Hamilton County, Tennessee. Water your plants or fill your birdbath without running up your water bill by collecting rainwater in a rain barrel that you've converted from an old whiskey barrel. Gathering rainwater also allows you to continue watering your lawn or flowerbeds if water use is restricted during hot weather. Rainwater does not contain chlorine, fluoride, lime or calcium, so it is a soft water suitable for a variety of uses.
Rinse the whiskey barrel with clean water and allow it to dry.
Drill holes in the lid of the barrel with a drill and large drill bit to allow rainwater to enter the barrel. Drilling holes in the lid rather than removing it prevents animals and children from falling into the barrel and drowning.
Cut a piece of screen large enough to overlap the rim on the top of the barrel, using sturdy scissors or tin snips.
Turn the barrel over and use a 1-inch drill bit to drill a hole several inches from the bottom of the barrel for the hose bib or spigot.
Place a 3/4-inch hose bib inside the drilled hole and turn it clockwise to thread it. Turn it with a pair of pliers, if needed. Turn it counterclockwise to remove it.
Wrap the threads of the hose bib with silicone tape, wrapping the tape clockwise around the threads.
Push the threads of the hose bib through the center of a 1-inch diameter washer on the inside of the washer. Screw the hose bib into the hole in the side of the barrel so the washer rests against the outside of the barrel.
Set the barrel up and choose a site several inches below the rim for the overflow hose. Drill a hole for the hose using a drill bit approximately the same size as the hose.
Move the barrel to the desired location, and insert one end of a sump hose into the hole for the overflow hose. Place the other end of the hose in the area where you want the water to drain.
Place the screen over the top of the barrel so it overlaps the rim of the barrel. Wrap a bungee cord around the rim of the barrel to secure the screen.
Things Needed
- Drill
- Large drill bit
- Screen
- Scissors or tin snips
- Drill bit, 1-inch
- 3/4-inch hose bib or spigot
- Pliers
- Silicone tape
- Washer, 1-inch center diameter
- Sump hose
- Bungee cord

Movie Mistakes
The Lovely Bones
on Blu-Ray
Published May 4, 2010 in
DVD News

The Lovely Bones
I gave
The Lovely Bones
a break in theaters. I liked the visuals and was into the spiritual story so I didn't hate on it. On Blu Ray, the visuals shine for anyone who wants to give Peter Jackson's movie a chance.
On Blu-Ray: The Lovely Bones
The afterlife scenes are sharp and smooth so all the surreal visuals are in perfect focus. Magical landscapes have pure colors and shiny textures. It's almost like this is the reality, and the "real world" is unreal.
The real world scenes contrast with some graininess. It's saturated colors with a harsh light pushing the bright yellow in the Salmon family home and the gritty darkness of Harvey's dungeon. You'll see a little digital speckle as some of the darker scenes try to hold together, but it feels like it's supposed to be set off from the potential peace of Susie's journey to heaven.

MoU signed between IIT Delhi and AIIA to give 'scientific validation' to Ayurveda
New Delhi, July 17: An agreement was today signed between IIT Delhi and the All India Institute of Ayurveda (AIIA) under which projects would be launched that would aim to give "scientific validation" to the ancient medical science and integrate it with technology. The projects would be funded by the Ayush Ministry.
Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the faculties of IIT Delhi and AIIA will work together in the projects to look at ways to integrate technology with Ayurveda.
The MoU is an attempt to give scientific validation to Ayurveda, said IIT Delhi Director V R Rao, who signed the agreement along with AIIA Director Tanuja Nesari.
"Ayurveda is often associated with religion, where in reality, they have nothing to do with it. Ayurveda is a science and the agreement signed with IIT Delhi is an attempt to integrate it with technology," he said.
Ayush Minister Shripad Yesso Naik underlined the need to work towards promoting the benefits of Ayurveda to a worldwide audience.
He also expressed hope that the agreement would integrate technology in the Ayurveda sector.
The agreement was signed at a conference of the heads of National Ayush Institutes who would brainstorm on ways to induce modernity in Ayurveda.
Representatives of IIT and IIM Ahmedabad and AIIMS would also look at ways to improve the Ayurveda education.

Abstract and Keywords
Nuclear power in the United States has had an uneven history and faces an uncertain future. Promising in the 1950s electricity "too cheap to meter," nuclear power has failed to come close to that goal, although it has carved out approximately a 20 percent share of American electrical output. Two decades after World War II, General Electric and Westinghouse offered electric utilities completed "turnkey" plants at a fixed cost, hoping these "loss leaders" would create a demand for further projects. During the 1970s the industry boomed, but it also brought forth a large-scale protest movement. Since then, partly because of that movement and because of the drama of the 1979 Three Mile Island accident, nuclear power has plateaued, with only one reactor completed since 1995.
Several factors account for the failed promise of nuclear energy. Civilian power has never fully shaken its military ancestry or its connotations of weaponry and warfare. American reactor designs borrowed from nuclear submarines. Concerns about weapons proliferation stymied industry hopes for breeder reactors that would produce plutonium as a byproduct. Federal regulatory agencies dealing with civilian nuclear energy also have military roles. Those connections have provided some advantages to the industry, but they have also generated fears. Not surprisingly, the "anti-nukes" movement of the 1970s and 1980s was closely bound to movements for peace and disarmament.
The industry's disappointments must also be understood in a wider energy context. Nuclear grew rapidly in the late 1960s and 1970s as domestic petroleum output shrank and environmental objections to coal came to the fore. At the same time, however, slowing economic growth and an emphasis on energy efficiency reduced demand for new power output. In the 21st century, new reactor designs and the perils of fossil-fuel-caused global warming have once again raised hopes for nuclear, but natural gas and renewables now compete favorably against new nuclear projects.
Economic factors have been the main reason that nuclear has stalled in the last forty years. Highly capital intensive, nuclear projects have all too often taken too long to build and cost far more than initially forecast. The lack of standard plant designs, the need for expensive safety and security measures, and the inherent complexity of nuclear technology have all contributed to nuclear power's inability to make its case on cost persuasively. Nevertheless, nuclear power may survive and even thrive if the nation commits to curtailing fossil fuel use or if, as the Trump administration proposes, it opts for subsidies to keep reactors operating.

Opening hours

The passage of time over matter is central to Michel Blazy's practice. Since the early nineties, the artist has been working with living entities, both artificial and natural, which are all equally subject to the supremacy of time and the multitude of triggers that impact the environment.
In Multiverse, La Loge reveals its potential as an animated place where materials can grow, germinate, transform and deteriorate. The exhibition comprises key elements from Blazy's studio practice including film, sculpture, and installation, often composed of impermanent, transient materials like plants, molds, nutritional ingredients, and everyday objects.
Throughout the course of the exhibition, the works develop independently from each other and beyond the control of the artist. In this untended multiverse, where things can freely overflow, the eccentric movement of matter lurks as a constant possibility. The notion of overflow sits at the heart of Blazy's practice, and also belongs to the history of this exhibition, a reiteration of a previous version of Multiverse that was flooded by a natural phenomenon during the opening in September 2018.
Curated by Anne-Claire Schmitz

|Close Relations
|Brother of Kiara, Son of Simba and Nala, Grandson of Mufasa, Sarabi, Sarafina and Nala's Father
|The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar, The Lion Guard
|Voice Actor(s)
|Max Charles
Kion is the son of Simba and Nala, the younger brother of Kiara, the grandson of Mufasa, Sarabi, Sarafina and Nala's Father, the Prince of The Pride Lands and the main protagonist of the television film The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar and it's follow-up series The Lion Guard.
Kion has bright yellow fur (which is resulted by Simba's dark gold fur mixed with Nala's tawny fur), red eyes, brown spots on his legs, a red turf of hair on his head and later lion head shaped marking on his right shoulder.
The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar
Kion first appears at the start of the film playing Baobab Ball with his best friend, a honey badger named Bunga and ends up disrupting Simba from teaching Kiara about being Queen. After a short clash with Kiara, Kion is sent by Simba to play with Bunga elsewhere. The two friends continue their game out in The Pride Lands, but the Baobab fruit ends up in The Outlands. Kion is reluctant to go into The Oulands (having been told that it's dangerous), but Bunga goes in and ends up being captured by two hyenas named Cheezi and Chungu who were sent by their leader Janja to get Bunga and have him for lunch. Luckily, Kion is able to save his friend by letting out a loud roar, which causes Chungu to drop Bunga, who climbs up to safety.
After returning to Pride Rock with Bunga, Kion sees Simba talking with Rafiki and asks what they are talking about to which Simba says that he and Kion need to talk and Rafiki tells him that the roar he did was The Roar of the Elders (which when used causes the lions of The Pride Lands past to roar too). Simba and Rafiki take Kion and Bunga to secret part of Pride Rock and tell Kion that he is to be the leader of the new Lion Guard and also say that Kion's great-uncle Scar was once leader of The Lion Guard and had The Roar of the Elders, but the power got to his head and he planned to overthrown his brother and Simba's father Mufasa as King. But when The Lion Guard refused to help him, Scar used The Roar of the Elders to destroy them. Due to using the roar for evil, Scar lost his powers. Simba then sends Kion to find members to be the bravest, fastest, strongest and keenest of sight (due to Kion being the fiercest).
Kion chooses Bunga to be the bravest, a cheetah named Fuli to be the fastest, a hippopotamus named Beshte to be the strongest and an egret named Ono to be the keenest of sight. Bunga convinces Kion to demonstrate The Roar of the Elders to Fuli, Beshte and Ono, but when he tries to do so, only a squeak comes out. Simba soon arrives and isn't pleased with whom Kion has put in The Lion Guard. Simba tells Kion that The Lion Guard has always been made up of lions and scolds Kion for treating his role of leader of The Lion Guard as a game and tells him to treat his new responsibilities seriously like Kiara is with her's.
Having some alone time, Kion feels despondent from what Simba said. Just then, the spirit of Mufasa appears and tells Kion that he is about to embark on a great journey as leader of The Lion Guard. But Kion says that he doesn't think he will let him be leader, worried he can't handle it to which Mufasa replies that Simba is worried because he loves Kion and that being leader of The Lion Guard is always easy. Kion thinks he is not ready to lead The Lion Guard or use The Roar of the Elders and says that he doesn't want to end up like Scar. Mufasa tells Kion to trust his instincts and that the roar will be there when he needs it and so will he, before disappearing.
Bunga arrives and tells Kion that Janja and his clan are attacking a gazelle herd, so they head out and see that Kiara is trapped in a stampede in the herd. Along with the rest of The Lion Guard, Kion is able to save his sister and get her safely to their parents before using The Roar of the Elders to send Janja and his clan back to The Outlands. Simba realizes that Kion was wise to have chosen whom he chose and congratulates his son and accepts the new Lion Guard.
The Lion Guard
In this series, which takes place after the film, Kion continues to lead The Lion Guard and battles against Janja and his clan, along with another antagonistic animals, such as Makuu the crocodile and his float, Reirei the jackal and her pack and Zira and her pride The Outsiders (whom Kiara met in The Lion King II: Simba's Pride).

I can't eliminate the need for a temporary hash: having attempted it, I'm inclined to think it's not a nice thing to do, since you always seem to end up needing to collate as a side-effect of iterating over the input... Anyway, here's what I got:
(Subquestion: is that constuct I used in the foreach() what's called a Schwartian transform?)

Clearly I'm insufficiently awake. %collate can be built like this:

The usually perspicacious Walter Russell Mead makes a dubious assumption regarding the just-announced new political alignment in Israel. (A new, broad centrist alignment has formed and Netanyahu has canceled the forthcoming elections.)
By contrast, the new centrist coalition relegates extreme parties to its fringe, increases Netanyahu's maneuverability on everything from Iran to the economy to the peace process, and allows him to embark on much-needed electoral reform to reduce the influence on small extremist parties. But just as crucially, the new government will also put greater internal pressure on Netanyahu to deal with the Palestinians (Kadima and Mofaz are on record in support of a more conciliatory approach).
It is a mixed picture for Obama. On the one hand, this government may be a little easier to work with on Palestinian issues; on the other, it may be politically easier for the Israelis to launch an attack against Iran.
Keeping up the pressure against Iran, consulting with Israel as nuclear negotiations proceed, and looking for ways to start some kind of meaningful discussion between Israelis and Palestinians looks like the most fruitful course the US administration's Middle East diplomacy could take right now. For President Obama, who has pretty much been locked into a tough policy approach to Iran without being able to get anything significant from the Israelis on negotiations with the Palestinian Authority, that looks like a step forward.
If he plays his cards well, and if he is lucky (always a vital component of successful policy moves in the Middle East), President Obama just might emerge as the victor in Israel's election that never was.
Mead's, admittedly tentative, conclusion has a major weakness. It depends on the Palestinians, or a significant component of them, actually wanting a two-state solution. Sadly, there is little evidence of that. Less and less, in fact.

a year in my garden: july
My garden in July is a sea of green, which I find so soothing – it makes me happy every time I pull up to my house:
The "Limelight" hydrangeas are starting to bloom:
And the "Coconut Lime" echinacea (don't you just love that name?) have officially arrived, both outside:
And around the corner, the "Gooseneck" loosestrife (another great name………..) have reared their lovely heads:
As for maintenance this month – I continue to deadhead repeat bloomers such as Salvia, and have cut back perennials that have finished blooming for the season. The yarrow, which bloomed early and for several months, finally started to fade and droop. I cut down the stems and although they will most likely not re-bloom, I am left with lots of clean, ferny foliage for the remainder of the season:
The nepeta, cut back hard last month, has completely re-surged with fresh new foliage:
Remember my plan to stake the echinacea with peony hoops? Well it worked beautifully! The hoops have all but blended in to the rest of the garden and the echinacea – by now usually a floppy, tangled mess – are fully upright and supported:
The rear bed, however, is another story – and a lesson learned from my roving band of deer……….
Despite my diligent efforts to install a "deer-resistant" bed in my back yard, I've proven to be no match for these worthy opponents, and have had to resort to a monthly spraying regimen. Well, June got away from me and the deer got to one emerging clump of echinacea. I cleaned up the gnawed-down stems, put the hoops around the other plants and hoped for the best. This is what they look like now:
Yes, the plants are nicely supported by the hoops. But see how thin and leggy they look? Now compare them to the "deer-pruned" plants:
They're blooming a little later and are shorter than the others but look ma! No stakes! I did a little research in my maintenance "bible" and, sure enough, you can cut back echincea in early spring. The plants will be shorter and bloom a little later, but no more staking? I immediately made note of this for next season.
Speaking of spring pruning: Joe-pye weed, a late summer bloomer, can grow to over 6 feet tall if left unpruned. I prefer the plant to grow bushier and shorter so I cut it back by about half sometime in June. I left a few unpruned and this is what they look like:
They are over 6 feet tall, starting to lean over, and almost in bloom. Compare these with the plants I cut back – shorter, shrubbier and just starting to bud:
What's on your garden "to do" list this month? Any maintenance tricks or tips you'd like to share? Please do so here!

your pictures are so beautiful!!
Your garden looks stunning! Some of these plants are great in treating some illnesses so…keep up the good work!
Jealous of your garden! All of your flowers are gorgeous but I love the most is your hydrangeas! It is so perfect in those green plants!
Beautiful foliage and flowers. What about a hardy lavender and when should I prune it. By now it is so tall and falling over. THanks for the info on the Butterfly bush trimming. I will cut back next year-they are huge this year. Agreed – 3 years for the perennials to really shine/show. 🙂

How do I re-frame?
Quite often, when were thinking about trying a new adventure, or stretching ourselves a little bit, we imagine that the results of failure will be devastating.
Obviously, in some situations, that may be a possibility. In most cases though, the results of failure are more likely to be a dent in our pride.
This bite-size tip is simply to help you re-frame your doubt, by asking the simple question….
"What honestly, is the worst that can happen?"
In almost all cases you'll find that the devastation your mind helped you to imagine, is actually never going to happen.
The problem's caused by our fear of the unknown. When we're asked to do something we haven't done before, our mind fills with all of the 'worst case scenarios', then presents them as facts to our conscious mind.
This 'vision' will, in most cases stop us trying this 'unsafe' practice and our mind is happy again.
Clearly, the process behind this effect is dependant on the priorities you've subconsciously assigned to the 'six human needs'. Everyone's hierarchy is slightly different and will affect how often this effect happens.
However, when it does, consider what's the worst that can happen, then re-frame the question and ask "what will this experience give me?"
Once you've made yourself aware of the likely bad outcomes and you've identified the benefits, you can make an educated judgement about whether or not to try it.
By identifying the actual possible outcomes, allows you to feel calmer about doing the activity. And sometimes, it's worth trying even if it could possibly be dangerous.
Try it out, then let me know how you got on.
Steve, who's also the Founder of Teen Anxiety UK, has been writing books and articles about various aspects of Psychology since 2006.

S.F. Green Film Festival seeks to educate, inspire
The San Francisco Green Film Festival is unapologetically about advocacy. The goal isn't just to educate audiences about many environment issues but also to inspire them to take action.
"We really do want to be a slightly different type of festival," says founder Rachel Caplan, a veteran of the San Francisco Film Society and the San Francisco Ocean Film Festival. "We're offering tools and resources for people to find out about the issues and ways for them to get involved with our partners.
"The festival can be a catalyst between the films and environmental activism. And the festival hub (the two venues are connected by a walkway across Battery Street) is a space where audiences can congregate and meet filmmakers and get into exciting discussions and be inspired."
The organizers have put together a program of more than 60 films on such topics as the fight to preserve San Bruno Mountain, threats to water quality in South Louisiana, and pollution in China caused by the dumping of high-tech devices.
The festival's inaugural outing runs Thursday to March 6 at the Embarcadero Cinema and Bently Conference Center.
The opening-night feature, presented with Berkeley's Plastic Pollution Coalition, is "Bag It," documenting the global battle to reduce or ban the use of plastic bags. Producer Michelle Hill will attend, and the film will be followed by a "green carpet" gala.
Among other events is a Q&A with Canadian writer and eco-activist Margaret Atwood, via live satellite feed, in conjunction with a screening of Ron Mann's documentary "In the Wake of the Flood." The film focuses on an innovative publicity tour Atwood created for her novel "The Year of the Flood" with local performers staging scenes from the book.
Werner Herzog, who isn't prone to rhapsodize about Mother Nature, will be represented by "Happy People: A Year in the Taiga," directed by Russian filmmaker Dmitry Vasyukov and written and narrated by Herzog. The film, which portrays fur trappers in remote Siberia, has been described in a Variety review as "a mesmerizing, 'Walden'-like ode to wilderness life."
Swedish filmmaker Fredrik Gertten will bring his controversial documentary "Bananas!*" to the festival. Focusing on a lawsuit by Nicaraguan banana workers who said they were made sterile by Dole Food Co.'s pesticide use, the film was the object of a 2009 defamation suit by Dole.
"Back to the Garden: Flower Power Comes Full Circle" features filmmaker Kevin Tomlinson checking in with former members of a rural Washington commune whom he had first interviewed in 1988, when they talked about what are now called sustainability and living off the grid. The director will attend the screening, to be followed by a "Flower Power" After-Party.
The party, Caplan says, is a chance for supporters of the green movement to pay homage to the old counterculture and "embrace our roots. We're really Hippie 2.0."
The festival closer is "The 4th Revolution: Energy Autonomy," by Germany's Carl A. Fechner, which envisions a global society based on renewable energy.
The San Francisco Green Film Festival: More than 60 films, plus parties, panel discussions and educational programs. Thurs.-March 6. Embarcadero Cinema, One Embarcadero Center, S.F., and the Bently Reserve, 301 Battery St., S.F. $12.50. (415) 742-1394. sfgreenfilmfest.org.

We made an experiment to celebrate all these years of having fun drawing characters by creating a creatures festival. We invited some of our most successful characters to join us in a crazy odd meeting and took some pictures. The result is an amazing festival of cartoon characters, that ended by converting into a real crowded event. A quirky carnival of eccentric creatures that fight for breathing and having fun while being melted in a colorful and delightful artwork!

The production of sperm is a long process that begins in the epididymis (testes). It takes two to three months until the sperm cells are fully developed, which is a long period of time where any disturbance may have fatal consequences.
The production of sperm is a process that occurs in the epididymis (also called the testes). The number of sperm produced depends on a number of different factors, such as genes, environment, physical condition or the frequency of sexual intercourse, and can thus be different for each man. Sperm are constantly produced in the seminiferous tubules.
At any time, the average mature man has about two to three billion sperm available, at different stages of maturity. The average sperm maturation process takes about two to three months, i.e. every 3 months a "new set" of sperm is formed. Hormones play a decisive role in sperm production (spermatogenesis). The pituitary gland (hypophysis) produces a hormone that is known as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). At the same time, the luteinising hormone (LH) is produced. In women both hormones lead to the maturation of eggs, while they stimulate sperm production in men.
Stages of spermatogenesis
For sperm maturation, specific nutrients are required by the body at different stages of development, such as amino acids, trace elements, vitamins and vitamin-like substances. And it is these special nutrients that provide support for optimal conditions for a normal and healthy sperm production. Due to certain circumstances and the wrong lifestyle there may be a more pronounced shortage of these substances, which however, may not be noticed by men as the deficiency.

Jon Hamm lets 'Mad Men' March 25 return date out of the bag
Jon Hamm got ahead of AMC when he revealed that "Mad Men" would return to the air on March 25 for the show's fifth season, a date confirmed by sources.
Hamm mentioned the date offhandedly while appearing on Doug Benson's podcast "Doug Loves Movies," where he competed in a movie trivia tournament and bantered with fellow guests Anthony Jesknik and Paul F. Tompkins. "In 40 years you'll be a ... has-been," Jeselnik teased Don Draper's alter ego. "You're right, Anthony," Hamm responded without skipping a beat. "I look forward to the ensuing 40 years of awesomeness, however."
The next season of "Mad Men" has been long delayed (Season 4 ended in the fall of 2010), at least in part by drawn-out contract negotiations among creator Matt Weiner, AMC and Lionsgate. Weiner previously expressed dismay about how that situation played out: "It was public, and there was no reason for that. But ... the most important things for me are that after it's over, I get to go back to work and that we get to do three more years of the show."
Now fans can mark their calendars and look forward to the season premiere, reported to be directed by Hamm himself.

History of Nunavut
The Road to Nunavut: A Chronological History
1973 Inuit Tapirisat of Canada (ITC) begins a study of Inuit land use and occupancy which eventually demonstrates the extent of Inuit aboriginal title in the Arctic. This study forms the geographic basis of the Nunavut Territory.
1976 ITC proposes the creation of a Nunavut Territory as part of a comprehensive settlement of Inuit land claims in the Northwest Territories. The Nunavut Proposal calls for the Beaufort Sea and Yukon North Slope areas used by the Inuvialuit to be included in the Nunavut Territory.
That same year, due to development pressure in the Beaufort Sea area, the Inuvialuit split from ITC to negotiate a separate land claim agreement.
Also that same year, a federal electoral boundaries commission recommends dividing the Northwest Territories into two federal electoral districts: Nunatsiaq and the Western Arctic. This recommendation is put in effect for the 1979 federal election.
1980 At its Annual General Meeting in October, ITC delegates unanimously pass a resolution calling for the creation of Nunavut.
1990 Tungavik Federation of Nunavut (TFN) and representatives of the federal and territorial governments sign a land claims agreement-in-principle in April. The agreement supports the division of the Northwest Territories and provides for a plebiscite on boundaries.
1992 In January, TFN and government negotiators come to an agreement on the substantive portions of a final land claims agreement for the Nunavut region. The agreement contains commitments for the creation of a Nunavut territory and government, subject to a boundary plebiscite and the conclusion of the Nunavut Political Accord. This Accord would detail the timetable and process for establishing Nunavut.
1992 An overall majority of voters in the Northwest Territories and the Nunavut area approve the proposed boundary for division in a May plebiscite.
In October, TFN and government representatives sign the Nunavut Political Accord, setting the creation of Nunavut as April 1, 1999.
In November, in a Nunavut-wide vote, the Inuit of Nunavut ratify the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement.
1993 The Nunavut Agreement is signed in May. In June, the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement Act and the Nunavut Act are adopted by Parliament and receive Royal Assent.
1995 and 1996 Footprints in New Snow and Footprints II, documents written by the Nunavut Implementation Commission, recommend that certain headquarter and regional functions of the Nunavut government be decentralized to communities. Footprints II is used as the blueprint for the foundation of the Government of Nunavut.
1997 The Office of the Interim Commissioner is established to help prepare for the creation of Nunavut. It is responsible for setting up an operational government ready to function effectively on April 1, 1999.
1998 Amendments to the Nunavut Act are adopted by Parliament and receive Royal Assent.
1999 The Nunavut Territory and Government come into existence on April 1.

A staunch Republican, he represented a political center that has nearly disappeared.
Former Rep. Frank J. Horton served residents of Monroe, Cayuga, Seneca, Wayne, and Oswego counties from 1967 until his retirement from office in 1992. He died Monday, August 30, in his Virginia home, at the age of 84.
Many remember Horton for his dedication to his constituents. His political career was born out of that dedication, and he never wavered.
"Frank was a public-service-oriented man," says David Lovenheim, who served as Horton's chief of staff from 1967 until 1978. "He was constantly seeking ways to give his constituents a better life, to enhance their communities, to improve the way the federal government performed."
Horton was an environmentalist who "had a very strong belief that the federal government had a role to play in improving the cleanliness of air and water, particularly as a congressman whose district always included many, many miles of LakeOntario shoreline."
Horton held water-pollution hearings in his district in 1966, well before there was an Environmental Protection Agency or a national Environmental Policy Act. One outgrowth of those hearings was the replacement of a single-treatment sewage facility in Durand-EastmanPark that was responsible for polluting LakeOntario.
Horton was appointed to the Committee on Government Operations on his very first day as a congressman, January 3, 1963.
"That was not a committee that was a particular plum at the time," says Lovenheim. "And he turned that committee into a major force in pioneering new and better ways of doing government and government oversight."
Horton was the prime sponsor of several bills that created new and reorganized departments in federal government, streamlining processes and eliminating paperwork. "He was very much into improving the performance of government, particularly at the federal level," Lovenheim says. "But he was also keenly focused on how all those things could be harnessed to better serve the communities he represented and the people he represented. That's where his heart really was."
The House was controlled by Democrats throughout Horton's tenure, so he remained in the political minority. Still, he managed to spearhead important legislative initiatives.
"The way he got all that done was not by being the leadership of a vocal minority that objected to everything the majority party was doing," Lovenheim says. "He accomplished those things because of the confidence and the relationship he built with the chairmen he served with. These people relied on Frank, on his expertise, on his fairness, on his lack of partisanship, on his objectivity. They were partners in building these legislative solutions to problems."
Horton "had more influence than most committee chairmen who served for decades, because he had the creativity and the initiative," says Lovenheim. "But he also had built the confidence across party lines."
During his last few years in Congress, Horton began voting against his party's leadership more frequently. "That's not because he was becoming more of a liberal," Lovenheim says. "He was still Frank Horton. He had a very steady set of principles and beliefs. What he was finding himself in was the milieu of a party that was moving further and further to the right, just as many Democrats elected when he was elected found their party moving to the left. The center got fairly thin."
Horton was a leader of the Wednesday Club, a group of moderate and liberal-thinking Republicans in the House who met weekly and set a policy course that sometimes differed greatly from the Republican Party's.
"Frank did not choose to buck his party," Lovenheim says. "But he never took his eye off the ball. And the ball was what was best for his constituency and what was best for the country."
Democratic Rep. Louise Slaughter, who considered Horton a personal friend, says Horton's bipartisanship was best proven by the fact that he was best friends with Congressman Jack Brooks (D-Texas). "He loved Frank," Slaughter says. "When Frank had a retirement party, Jack came up. I admired everything about Frank --- his style, his integrity. So did all the other Democrats. It was a different time. It was a time when people respected each other."

Miller Brittain sketches restored by museum
Restoration project will take 2 years before 11 portraits can be hung
Canadian artist and social satirist Miller Brittain's larger than life chalk drawings may once again hang in Saint John.
Danny Doyle, a conservator intern at the New Brunswick Museum, has been painstakingly removing the decades-old tape from the delicate drawings inch by inch.
"I like to say it's very, 'Zen work,' I have to be very calm," Doyle said.
"Basically I'm going in and taken that off with scalpels and erasers and brushes and poultices and certain solvents and many other things. Once I have that off, I then repair the tears or the cuts that have happened to the drawings with just a fine tissue and a wheat starch paste."
The large sketches are nine-feet wide by nine-feet tall and are drafted on butcher paper. They were meant to be destroyed once the murals were painted on the walls of the Saint John tuberculosis Hospital in 1939.
Around this time, the bacterial disease killed about 82 people in every 100,000 but that number was 10 times higher for First Nations people.
Brittain was already a well-known Canadian artist. He did 11 of these chalk sketches.
But as war broke out in Europe, funding for the murals dried up, Brittain entered the air force and the murals were never created.
The sketches depict people suffering from tuberculosis, the treatments of the time, the hope for a cure – all superimposed with Brittain's social commentary about the need for better housing, nutrition and pasteurized milk.
The sketches are now too fragile to be hung, but three years ago, Claire Titus, a conservator, found out that could change.
The Canadian Conservation Institute and Titus took six weeks to investigate the drawings and determine everything from the pH of the paper to the type of adhesive on the tape.
That allowed Titus to create a protocol for repairing the paper.
The drawings were rolled out horizontally onto a stage at a local theatre and then colour photographs were taken from above.
Due to the size of the sketches, space was going to be a challenge for the conservation process. The museum decided to use one of its large spaces and make it accessible to the public.
For a couple of hours a day, people can watch the restoration process and ask questions. Titus said it is interesting to hear the reaction of people who watch the process.
"It was wonderfully exciting and interesting to hear what people wanted to talk about when they were looking at the drawings," Titus said.
"Many of the people who came to see them, talked about their first-hand experience with tuberculosis. Some had memories of family experiences at the very hospital that these drawings were proposed for."
The project is expected to take at least another two years before all 11 can be displayed vertically.

"It's all or nothing on Tuesday," said the Germany star, with Munich's Allianz Arena set to also host this year's Champions League final on May 19.
"We have to go to the limits and beyond, but we can do it with our fans behind us.
"It won't be easy, and it comes down to mental strength. I hope we show that mentality which is a Bayern trademark."
Real warmed up for Munich with a 3-1 win over Spanish league strugglers Sporting Gijon on Saturday with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring his 41st league goal of the season, a record achievement currently matched only by Barcelona's Lionel Messi.
In contrast, Bayern were held to a goalless draw in Munich by mid-table Mainz which effectively handed the German league title to Borussia Dortmund with Bayern eight points behind with three games left.
Coach Jupp Heynckes, who took Real Madrid to the 1998 European title, paid the price for resting his stars with captain Philipp Lahm, midfielder Thomas Mueller, wing Franck Ribery and striker Mario Gomez all starting on the bench.
Real fielded virtually their full strength side at the Bernabeu, even with Sporting second from bottom of the Spanish league.
"This game was important for us and then on Tuesday we will put out the team that we think is right to get a good result," said Real's assistant coach Aitor Karanka.
"Now all the games are important and before we play Barcelona (in El Clasico next Saturday) we have Munich and that is all we are thinking about.
"It will be very tough, but we will go to win and Madrid are always favourite."
Madrid will certainly provide Munich with their toughest test of the season so far, but Bayern have already beaten Premier League giants Manchester City 2-0 at home in the group stages.
And they set a new record with their 7-0 hammering of Basel in the Round of 16 at the Allianz Arena.
History favours the Germans as the clubs have met in four previous European Cup semi-finals with Bayern prevailing three times (in 1976, 1987 and 2001) to Madrid's single success in 2000.
Goalkeeper Iker Casillas is the only survivor of the most recent clashes.
Bayern have an impeccable home record in this European campaign and boast an overall unbeaten record at home against Madrid with eight wins and one draw over the years.
"We will pull out all the stops and fight for both Champions League and the German Cup," said Bayern's Thomas Mueller with Bayern to face Dortmund in the domestic cup final on May 12.
"There is no problem with motivation, we will do everything we can to reach the final."
France striker Karim Benzema and Argentina forward Angel di Maria are expected to make the Real starting line-up having begun on the bench against Sporting.
Likewise, Heynckes is expected to start with wingers Arjen Robben and Ribery firing crosses for Gomez, who has scored 39 goals in all competitions this season, including four in the rout of Basel.
The match pits Heynckes against Jose Mourinho, who engineered Bayern's downfall at the hands of Inter Milan in the 2010 final at Madrid's Bernabeu.
Between them the teams have 13 European Cups but both are hungry to add to their haul with Bayern, four-times winners, seeking a first title since 2001 and Madrid their first since 2002 and a record 10th overall.
Bayern hold the upper hand with 10 wins to Madrid's six from the clubs' 18 past matches.
The most recent meeting came in the 2006/07 Round of 16 when Bayern prevailed on away goals, losing 3-2 in Spain, but winning the return leg 2-1 in Munich.

I suffered from migraines when I was younger, so I feel your pain. But because there aren't many effective migraine treatments, I strongly believe prevention is key. Several promising integrative therapies for averting these crippling headaches have emerged, which can complement or replace prescription medications with consultation from your doctor.
Before trying alternative measures, keep a migraine diary for several months to help identify triggers: Track your diet, exercise, stress levels, and symptoms. Some common culprits include chocolate, food additives, hormonal fluctuations, weather, and stress. Although some triggers are unavoidable, you can steer clear of most.
Certain supplements may help. Studies show that regular use of an extract of the butterbur plant significantly reduces the number of migraines you get. Check health food stores for capsules free of PAs, compounds found in crude butterbur that are toxic to the liver, and follow package directions. Evidence suggests that 400 mg of vitamin B2 daily may cut the frequency and duration of migraines, but you'll need a prescription for that dosage.
Biofeedback and acupuncture are also effective for some people. A recent study concluded that a course of biofeedback training reduced migraines by 56%. And a study in Headache reported that biweekly acupuncture helped prevent migraines in those who are prone to them.

Inside Out: Church: Loneliness, the Church, and COVID-19

Food. We need it, want it . . . and waste it. Forty percent of food in the United States today goes uneaten, according to a report by the Natural Resources Defense Council. Americans are throwing out more than 20 pounds of food per person per month. Every year we toss away food worth $165 billion.
"We just buy too much," says food blogger and today's Inside Out guest Anne Simpson. "Whether it's because we see great deals in the sales ads and we think 'I need to snap that deal up; I might never see such a good price again,' and so we buy too much of it. Or it just looks good.
"As Americans," she says, "we have so many choices and so many options for everything that sometimes it's hard to narrow down exactly what we really need to eat— what we really will eat."
If we love God and believe He has called us to manage well His world and His resources, it serves us to pause to consider the money and resources wasted when we throw out uneaten food—money and resources that others are dying to share. From a hunger perspective, by the latest estimates from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, there are 925 million undernourished people in the world who could benefit from better food management on our part.
From an earth stewardship perspective, it's worth thinking about the resources that are used for no good purpose to produce, package and distribute food that we then throw out uneaten. "About half of all land in the U.S. goes to agriculture; some 25 percent of all the freshwater consumed in this country, along with 4 percent of the oil, goes into producing food that is never eaten," according to the Natural Resources Defense Council. "Moreover, uneaten food accounts for 23 percent of all methane emissions in the U.S."
We may not be able to change the world--not immediately--but we can change how much food we waste as individuals. Anne Simpson joins us in this Inside Out podcast with straightforward strategies to help minimize the amount of food we waste on the home front. Anne's a spouse and mother who works from home, teaching piano and writing e-books and blogs about food—and food waste—at http://authenticsimplicity.net/.

WASHINGTON — Commercial airlines' economic troubles will improve during the fourth quarter and the industry may even go into the black in 2009, the head of the carriers' main trade group said Monday.

Lords of the gourd compete for Punkin Chunkin honors
With teams using more than 100 unique apparatuses to launch globular projectiles a half-mile or more, the 27th annual World Championship Punkin Chunkin event is our pick as November's Weird Festival of the Month.
- Airports, airlines work hard to return your lost items
- Expert: Tourist hordes threaten Sistine Chapel's art
- MGM Grand wants Las Vegas guests to Stay Well
- Report: Airlines collecting $36.1B in fees this year
- Lords of the gourd compete for Punkin Chunkin honors
James May, president and chief executive for the Air Transport Association, said recent steps by U.S. airlines to cope with the high cost of jet fuel — from charging passengers for checked bags and other services that had been free to dramatic cutbacks in scheduled flights — have left carriers in an unexpectedly strong position to withstand the current economic turmoil, especially now that oil prices have dropped.
"The good news is we were prepared," May told the Air Traffic Control Association's annual conference. "The net result is I think we're going to see a reasonably positive fourth quarter this year for commercial aviation and the very real chance we'll be operating in the black" in 2009.
But airlines remained in the red in the recently completed third quarter. US Airways Group Inc. last month said it lost $865 million due to high fuel prices. Although those results beat analyst estimates, the loss was the worst among the major carriers during the July-September quarter, topping United parent UAL Corp.'s $779 million loss.
May, who said he'd recently returned from an aviation conference in Europe, also predicted there will be a significant amount of consolidation among European airlines, but no further mergers of domestic carriers like Delta Air Lines Inc.'s acquisition of Northwest Airlines. That stock-swap deal closed last week.
However, May forecast more strategic alliances among U.S. and European airlines like the partnership recently proposed by AMR Corp.'s American Airlines and British Airways. The airlines are seeking antitrust immunity for the deal, which would let them work together on pricing and scheduling for flights across the Atlantic.
Virgin Atlantic Airways has opposed the request, saying it would hurt competition. BA and American also want to add Spain's Iberia to the deal.
"That will be the future of this business," May said.
