1. The establishment has a vending machine or other electronic or mechanical device that provides a consumer direct access to cigarettes without restricting the facility to adults at all times.
2. The establishment has a vending machine with a selection button marked "Low in Tar and Nicotine Marlboro Lights." The cigarettes stocked to correspond with the "Low in Tar and Nicotine Marlboro Lights" button are not labeled as such. Cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, and/or smokeless tobacco with labels, labeling, or advertising that do not correspond to the actual product are misbranded under section 903 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. § 387c), in that the name on the button is false and/or misleading. In addition, the button uses the term "low tar" and "light." Cigarettes with labels, labeling, or advertising that use the descriptor "low tar" or "light" are misbranded under section 903 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. § 387c), in that the descriptive terms are false and/or misleading. Labeling or advertising cigarettes as "low tar" or "light" is misleading to consumers. Congress has found many smokers mistakenly believe that "low tar" and "light" cigarettes cause fewer health problems than other cigarettes.

"When even those in charge of sexual assault prevention in the US military are sexually assaulting servicewomen, it sends a clear signal that current efforts to address the epidemic are not being taken seriously. This culture of impunity is getting worse—perpetrators must be held accountable, now."
—Shelby Quast, Senior Policy Advisor, Equality Now
On 7 May, the Department of Defense released a study that reported the shocking rise of sexual assaults in every branch of the military. Around the same time that the study was released, three US Army and Air Force sexual assault prevention officers were accused of perpetrating sex crimes or domestic violence. We therefore welcomed the 16 May introduction of the Military Justice Improvement Act of 2013 by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), a bi-partisan bill which would remove the power to prosecute sexual assault from military commanders and transfer it to professional prosecutors. Equality Now and our partner SWAN have been consistently advocating for this change to ensure that sexual assault victims have access to justice in the military. We are following the bill's progression closely, and will update you when it's up for vote. In the meantime, please continue to support our campaign calling for reform of the military justice system.
A Message from our new Board Co-chairs
|Colette De Troy
|Sue Smalley, Ph.D.
We are honored to co-chair the Board of Directors of Equality Now, and welcome the opportunity to guide and grow the organization. Together, with the leadership, staff and partners of Equality Now, and with you, our supporters and members, we want to position Equality Now as the most recognized and effective organization helping women and girls around the world.
In the coming years, we hope to expand the organization's size and global reach by establishing a presence in Asia and Latin America, and strengthen our support for women in the Middle East and North Africa, by opening an office there. We are also working to improve our development and communication efforts and to bring Equality Now firmly into the digital age. Our image may change somewhat in the future, but rest assured that our mission will remain the same.
We are dedicated to help create a world where women's rights are fully ensured and where gender equality is recognized as an end in and of itself, and a means to assure peace and prosperity for all. Help us fulfill our mission. Let your voices be heard. Support Equality Now in your actions and words. Help us make a difference.
Thank you for your involvement, trust and support. We are confident that together we will succeed in expanding the work of Equality Now globally and establish enduring equality for women and girls everywhere.

Dear FOS11 Member,
Below is a letter from the Office of United States Senator Jon S. Corzine (New Jersey) describing a letter writing campaign in support of the Fallen Heroes of 9/11 Act (S.1423). To contact your Senator to encourage them to support this legislation, visit www.senate.gov and enter your state. To learn more about the Fallen Heroes of 9/11 Act, please click here or visit http://thomas.loc.gov and enter "Fallen Heroes of 9/11 Act" in the search tool at top.
I am writing this note to ask your help with a letter writing campaign.
Last week The Fallen Heroes of 9/11 Act (S.1423) was introduced to the United States Senate. The Fallen Heroes of 9/11 Act would provide for a medal of appropriate design to be awarded by the President to the next of kin or other representative of those killed as a result of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
The entire text of the legislation (S.1423) can be found at thomas.loc.gov (no www or http).
The bill needs 67 co-sponsors; at present it has 27 bipartisan sponsors. Please check the list at the end of this letter and write to any senator in any state not on the list. It is important to send the letter to a Senator's home office; letters sent to Washington D.C. offices are irradiated for anthrax and take an extended period of time to reach the intended destination. If an e-mail or fax is easier for you, please use them. Mailing information about all senators is available on the Internet -- have your friend and family members write too. Please do not send multiple copies of the same duplicated letter with different signatures, as personal notes from many different constituents are more impressive.
This is our opportunity to see that everyone who lost their life on September 11, 2001, is treated in a fair and equitable manner. If every Senator receives enough letters our voice will be heard.
Sincerely:Elizabeth A. MattsonWife of Bob Mattson, Fiduciary Trust Company International Financial Outreach AdvisorOffice of United States Senator Jon S. Corzine, New Jersey

Drabelle writes about all this, but only to brush it aside and insist that Bierce was some sort of morally rigorous truth teller.
So why did Bierce, finally, in 1896, become a populist champion?
In London Bierce found congenial and stimulating associates.
Bierce's style, too, by its very fineness, alienated his public.
All this must not be taken to mean that the "form and pressure of the time" put into Bierce what was not there.
But this to Bierce was mostly "journalism, a thing so low that it cannot be mentioned in the same breath with literature."
On the original fabric of Bierce's mind the satiric strand has encroached more than the design allows.
A partial answer to both questions is to be found in a certain discord between Bierce and his setting.
Much of Bierce's best work was done in those years in San Francisco.
Bierce, paradoxically, combined the bizarre in substance, the severely restrained and compressed in form.

RBC indicesErythrocyte indices; Blood indices; Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH); Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC); Mean corpuscular volume (MCV); Red blood cell indices
Red blood cell (RBC) indices are part of the complete blood count (CBC) test. They are used to help diagnose the cause of anemia, a condition in which there are too few red blood cells.
The indices include:
- Average red blood cell size (MCV)
- Hemoglobin amount per red blood cell (MCH)
- The amount of hemoglobin relative to the size of the cell (hemoglobin concentration) per red blood cell (MCHC)
See also: RBC count
How the Test is Performed
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture
The values for MCHC, and MCH are calculated from the hemoglobin (Hgb), hematocrit (Hct), and RBC count:
- MCHC = Hgb/Hct
- MCH = Hgb/RBC count
The MCV is measured directly by a machine.
How to Prepare for the Test
No special preparation is necessary.
How the Test Will Feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Why the Test is Performed
RBCs transport hemoglobin which, in turn, transports oxygen. The amount of oxygen tissues receive depends on the amount and function of RBCs and hemoglobin.
The MCV reflects the size of red blood cells. The MCH and MCHC reflect the hemoglobin content of red blood cells. These RBC measures are used to diagnose types of anemia.
Anemias are defined based on cell size (MCV) and amount of Hgb (MCH).
- MCV less than lower limit of normal: microcytic anemia
- MCV within normal range: normocytic anemia
- MCV greater than upper limit of normal: macrocytic anemia
- MCH less than lower limit of normal: hypochromic anemia
- MCH within normal range: normochromic anemia
- MCH greater than upper limit of normal: hyperchromic anemia
Normal Results
- MCV: 80 - 100 femtoliter
- MCH: 27 - 31 picograms/cell
- MCHC: 32 - 36 grams/deciliter
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different samples.
What Abnormal Results Mean
This test is used to diagnose the cause of anemia. The following are the types of anemia and their causes:
- Normocytic/normochromic (NC/NC) anemia is caused by sudden blood loss, prosthetic heart valves, sepsis, tumor, long-term disease or aplastic anemia.
- Microcytic/hypochromic anemia is caused by iron deficiency, lead poisoning, or thalassemia.
- Microcytic/normochromic anemia results from a deficiency of the hormone erythropoietin from kidney failure.
- Macrocytic/normochromic anemia results from chemotherapy, folate deficiency, or vitamin B-12 deficiency.
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Sidle up to the bar at Tamayo between 5 and 7 p.m. weekdays and prepare to get happy. Very happy. The jazzy, snazzy atmosphere at this upscale Mexican restaurant is enough to make you feel upbeat, but the happy-hour deal is guaranteed to elevate your attitude. During Hora Feliz, what is already one of the best margaritas in town comes with an extra half-shot of tequila, as well as botanas -- free little tidbits that go down just as smoothly. The offerings change daily; we've supped our way through little bowls of poblano-packed soup, dipped tortilla chips into a zesty black bean dip, munched on chicken-filled tamales and tucked into authentic ceviche. ¡Salud!
Since September 11, we Americans have been self-medicating our depression with foods that remind us of hearth and home, warmer, fuzzier times, and the good old days when you could get on a plane without getting felt up. Mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, roast chicken and Oreos are being consumed in record numbers as we seek out restaurants that comfort the heart as well as the stomach. And you won't find a more comforting place in town than the lunch-only Tom's Home Cookin', which does a fine job with all of our homey favorites (okay, not Oreos, but Coca-Cola chocolate cake is a mighty good substitute). Owners Tom Unterwagner and Steve Jankousky know how to nurture through nature's most soothing comforts: pot roast and cheesy potato casserole, warm cornbread and peach cobbler. Maybe if bin Laden had tried the daily bargain, "meat and two" for $6.45, he'd have had a better outlook on life.
You're a grownup now, and it's time to put the neon orange mac 'n' cheese mix behind you, not inside you. In keeping with its name, Dazzle goes for something above and beyond, serving up a macaroni and cheese that's positively dizzying. Elbow macaroni and four cheeses -- parmesan, Fontina, mozzarella and gouda -- are mixed in just the right proportions so that the noodles are all melty and soft but not too wet or dry; a large bowl of this goodness is evenly covered with buttery breadcrumbs and tossed under the broiler until the top begins to sizzle, then finished off with a smattering of diced tomatoes and fresh basil. So very adult, so very dazzling.
Since chef Goose Sorenson -- formerly of Mel's Restaurant and Bar and Starfish -- took over the kitchen at this difficult address that last year was Ambrosia, things have been looking up. For Solera, the dining area has been reworked to seem more intimate and inviting, and the menu is filled with Sorenson's eclectic inventions, including foie gras on a ginger-snap crust. The standout offering, though, would have to be the mashed potatoes, done two different ways: The roasted-garlic spuds, sweet and toasty, come with the succulent braised lamb and nicely grilled salmon entrees; and the rich, oniony mascarpone mashers accompany the crunchy-skinned Chilean sea bass. Both versions feature such smooth, feathery textures and rich, buttery undertones that we're tempted to head into the kitchen with our spoons.
When the world's going to hell in a handbasket, you'll find us at Bang!, drowning our sorrows in the tangy, beef-rich homemade gravy that comes slathered over Bang!'s juicy meatloaf, a your-mama-never-made-it-like-this gourmet version with plenty of intense seasonings and none of the gristle often found in ground beef. The mashed potatoes (more gravy, please!) and sautéed spinach that come with the hefty slice add to the plate's comforting capabilities. For a warm-and-fuzzy finale, take on a large square of the heavenly gingerbread topped with whipped cream. Bang! -- this restaurant got us again.
Step into Lincoln's Road House, and it may seem as though you're back in the '70s-era wood-paneled basement at your friend's house where you used to sneak beers. But don't let the ultra-casual lounge atmosphere fool you: Behind the bar lurks a kitchen that knows what it's doing, especially when it comes to meatloaf. This loaf is meaty, all right, studded with big pieces of onion for flavor, and it comes sliced an inch thick and slapped on a thin but substantial bun that's been buttered on the inside and grilled. Lettuce, tomato and mayo give extra moisture to the already juicy sandwich; a side of well-seasoned, skin-on fries and a small bowl of homemade macaroni salad round out the meal. Down a few Buds and play something on the jukebox -- which offers King Missile's undeniable classic "Detachable Penis" -- and you'll really feel like you're back in the basement.

Feminism | Posted by Julie Z on 12/1/2010
Reproductive Rights: The Stuff That Got Left Out In School
This year in school, I'm taking an elective called Gender, Culture, Power (pretty badass, right?). We've covered all kinds of feminist topics from gender stereotypes to domestic violence to sex trafficking to reading about rape as a war crime in the Lynn Nottage play Ruined. It's been a pretty enlightening experience, but when the time to choose our final projects rolled around, I knew what had been missing from the course and what I was eager to look into further: reproductive rights.
Knowing about our bodies should be such a basic thing — something our parents, schools and even the government should make sure that teens are well informed about. And yet today we are not only ignorant in many ways about our bodies, but we seriously take our …

text: Khloe Kardashian might fly to the far corners of the world to be with her boyfriend French Montana, but when she isn't there, he apparently isn't shy about trying to hook up with other women. A radio station intern went on the Boston radio show she works for yesterday and said she was trying to interview French Montana on his tour bus and he tried to hook up with her. He said he had a girlfriend and he needed to keep things quiet between the pair. The intern, Mariela Sanchez, says that French agreed to an interview and kicked everyone out of the tour bus and then climbed on top of the 23 year old and began licking her ear. When she tried to get away, he wouldn't let her and she says that it was a struggle to get away from him, grabbed her cell phone and ran off the bus and back to her brother who had been waiting for her to finish the interview.

If you want to come out clear during a urine drug test meant for detecting marijuana, this piece of information would surely give an edge in your strategy.
A marijuana urine test is by far the most common drug test as it is highly accurate, cheap, and provides immediate results. However, marijuana urine drug testing cannot tell how much or when marijuana was consumed.
Before we read any further, it is important for us to note that the human body take in air, food, and many contaminates from the environment and the body converts these substances into metabolites specific to the consumption. The body, thereafter, makes use of as much of the metabolite as it requires and stores the excess in fast-growing cells such as hair, fat, nails, etc. Over a period of time, the "trapped" metabolites leach out of the fat and into the blood and the kidneys filter out the metabolites for removal via urinary tract where they can be easily detected. Urine drug testing is used to identify which specific drug has been used. After a urine sample has been provided, the drug testing device is dipped into the sample and a result is provided within a few minutes.
To clear a marijuana urine test, it is best for you to test yourself first to find out if you could pass the marijuana test. It is highly recommended that you avoid smoking and alcohol before the test and also avoid unnecessary medications, sugars, energy drinks, and fatty foods.
When asked to provide the urine sample at a medical facility, you should avoid early-morning tests and use this time to urinate often before the test. It is also recommended that you use middle of the urine stream to provide the sample and follow a relaxed approach to avoid suspicions from the facility staff.
It is also recommended that you stop using marijuana as soon as you hear the news that you would be tested soon, irrespective of whether or not the exact marijuana test has been communicated to you. It is also suggested that you avoid company of friends or colleagues who smoke marijuana as even excessive second-hand exposure to marijuana may come up in your results, leading to a positive marijuana test.

LISTEN: Pharrell's 'Happy' is turned into lullaby
Listen to Pharrell on iHeartRadio
Parents will soon be able to lull their children to sleep to tune of Pharrell Williams' hit song "Happy." The single has been turned into a lullaby by the company Rockabye Baby.
The lullaby version of "Happy" will appear on the upcoming compilation project Good Baby, Bad Baby.
Among the other songs turned into lullabies for the album are "Halo" by Beyoncé, "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley, "She Will Be Loved" by Maroon 5, and "Creep" by Radiohead.
The record's executive producer, Lisa Roth, says the album's title reflects the two sides of children that parents deal with. Each song was specifically chosen to fit in to that theme. The album will arrive on June 24th.

Garth Brooks Gives Tour Launch Details
Listen to Garth Brooks Radio on iHeartRadio
After a fan announced Monday that Garth Brooks would be kicking off his upcoming trek in Chicago, the country superstar is now filling in the details about opening night.
The show is set for the northwestern suburb of Rosemont, Illinois, and will be staged at the Allstate Arena on September 4th. Tickets cost a total of $65.50 - tax and service charges included - and go on sale July 25th.
On the first day of sales, tickets will only be available from Ticketmaster and Ticketmaster Express by phone, or online, and not from the arena's box office or any Ticketmaster outlets.
The concert will be Brooks' first in the Chicago area in 17 years, and he's excited to make his return. Garth says any time he's asked his favorite places to play, his list "always includes Chicago."
Chicago is the first stop of a world tour featuring Brooks' wife, Trisha Yearwood. Garth plans to give individual announcements for each city he'll visit.

Kobe Bryant is having some fun in the post-Mike Brown era.
You don't have to look at his face.
Just look at those gaudy statistics.
Bryant nearly had a triple-double by halftime against the Houston Rockets on Sunday at Staples Center.
The shackles are off that clunky Princeton offense.
Bryant and the Lakers are free, and they've responded by scoring in droves. Bryant had a triple-double - with 22 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds - midway through the final quarter.
The fun is back.
The Lakers beat the Rockets 119-108.
Defense is a problem for another day. This was Bryant's day.
It was the first time Bryant had a triple-double in a little more than two years. It was the 18 th of his career, and none of those came during Brown's tenure.
"It's cool. It's not something I try to go after," Bryant said. "It's always cool when it happens."
He even remembered the previous one.
"I think probably when Lamar (Odom) challenged me to get one, and I got one at halftime," Bryant said about his last triple-double, which came Nov. 3, 2010, at Sacramento.
This was supposed to be new Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni's debut, but with D'Antoni still sidelined from knee surgery, this was another chance to check out the Lakers' fun, fast, efficient offense.
Even though he wasn't on the bench, his offense was on display.
Bryant had 11 points, nine assists and seven rebounds after just two quarters. The Lakers scored 40 points in the first quarter and had 98 points after three.
D'Antoni had said if his Lakers weren't scoring 110-115 points a game, they'd have a talk. No closed-door meetings yet.
Is this as much fun as it looks?
"It's getting there," Bryant said. "We still kind of got our heads down and are motoring along. The fun will come a little later."
Just imagine.
The Lakers are back to .500 at 5-5, cleaning up much of the mess Brown made.
In the third quarter, Bryant had a breakaway fastbreak dunk. Seconds later, he fed Dwight Howard for a dunk. Bryant was at midcourt with the thumbs-up sign. The Lakers called timeout to rest Bryant and Howard, and the two high-fived, smiled and laughed.
The Lakers are playing a fun game again.
In the third quarter, Bryant went to work. Efficient work. Kobe being Kobe. In driving to the basket on one play, he faked out Patrick Patterson, Jeremy Lin and went around Omer Asik to score.
He lifted his arms up.
You could almost see the offense's imaginary handcuffs lifted.
A couple of trips down the court later, he pump-faked Terrence Jones high in the air, made the outside shot and drew the foul. He stood and posed with a smirk on his face.
This is fun, all right.
Mike D'Antoni wasn't on the sidelines, which was a bummer, but his offense was real, present and accounted for all right.
D'Antoni coaches the team pregame, halftime and postgame, and what fun this game is so far.
Of course, it's November, not June.
D'Antoni watched the game with "the Steves" - Nash and Blake, who are injured - from the trainer's room. They're all rehabbing with D'Antoni from injuries.
Los Angeles, on the heels of so much drama, was finally ready to welcome the man who is not afraid to consider his gig a failure if the Lakers don't win the championship.
D'Antoni surely wants to get in that coach's hot seat and get a feel for how fans' perceive him.
Asked if he has gotten around much - he's still hobbling - and what reactions have been toward him, D'Antoni said he's only conversed with the folks from room service at his hotel. They're even friends.
He's going to become BFFs with Bryant if this fun and run-and-gun continues.
This is good for now, but the jury is still out on D'Antoni's defense ... or lack thereof.
Can it last? The offense should.
There was even fun to be had on the bench. Nash was busting Gangnam-style moves on the bench, in his suit, making him a popular fixture on the video screen.
Things should be more fun with Nash back in the lineup, Blake back on the court and D'Antoni on the bench.
Bryant seemed to be having fun.
Apparently, this is just the start.

Arts & Sciences Transfer Programs
Washington State is a great place to start if you know a bachelor's degree is in your future. You can complete your first two years of study at Washington State, without the costs associated with a traditional four-year college, then transfer to the four-year school of your choice. Spending your first two years at Washington State will cut your overall college costs almost in half!
There are two categories of degree programs designed to transfer to a baccalaureate program:
Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree
Business Administration Transfer
Education Transfer
Fine Arts Transfer
Liberal Arts Transfer
Associate of Science (A.S.) degree
Biological Sciences Transfer
Engineering Transfer
General Science Transfer
Mathematics Transfer
Physical Science Transfer
TRANSFER MODULE AND ARTICULATION: The Ohio Board of Regents, following the directive of the Ohio General Assembly, developed a statewide articulation and transfer policy to make it easier to transfer credits from one Ohio public college or university to another. The policy also established the Transfer Module. The Transfer Module contains 54-60 quarter hours or 36-40 semester hours of specified course credits in English, composition, mathematics, fine arts, humanities, social science, behavioral science, natural science, physical science, and interdisciplinary coursework. The transfer module completed at one college will automatically meet the requirements of the transfer module at the receiving institution, once the student is accepted.
To assist students further in transfer, articulation agreements have been developed between Washington State and nearby public and private colleges and universities. The articulation agreements clearly indicate which courses offered by Washington State will be accepted by the receiving institution.
TAGs (Transfer Assurance Guides) are groups of foundational courses that represent a commonly accepted pathway to the bachelor's degree. Courses or course sequences identified as being a part of the TAG may be offered at any public higher education institution in Ohio.
TAGs include the Ohio Transfer Module - both required and elective courses, and then moves beyond those courses into additional hours in pre-major and major courses. Courses in TAGs are guaranteed to transfer and apply directly to the major. In its totality, the TAGs become a guaranteed pathway for students and is a very powerful advising tool for faculty and other advisors.
There are 38 TAGs in eight specific discipline areas presently involving 6,500 plus courses. The TAGs are developed, approved, and monitored by Ohio's public institutions for higher education. For a list of Washington State approved TAG courses visit the TAGs Bulletin Board, an Ohio Board of Regents Web site.
Programs available in Arts & Sciences:
- Biological Sciences Transfer
- Business Administration Transfer
- Education Transfer - Early Years
- Education Transfer - Middle Years
- Education Transfer - Young Adult
- Engineering Transfer
- Fine Arts Transfer - Graphic Design
- Fine Arts Transfer - Studio Art
- General Sciences Transfer

By Jerry Cornfield and Gale Fiege Herald Writers
Federal lawmakers realize most of the country won't notice when the sequester arrives Friday.
"It's not like a government shutdown and the next day parks are closed and the Washington Monument is walled off," said Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., chairwoman of the Senate Budget Committee. "It will be a series of steps over time."
Social service programs reliant on federal dollars will scale back. Civilian employees at military bases could lose their jobs. And federal workers face up to 22 days of furlough, or roughly one unpaid day off per week through Sept. 30, the end of the fiscal year.
These moves, over time, threaten economic recovery because it creates uncertainty for individuals and businesses alike, Democrats said.
"Folks can't plan. Businesses can't plan," said Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-Wash., a former Microsoft executive in her first full term in the House.
Republican Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, who serves southwest Washington, said the overall impact is getting overstated.
"There will be some effects on government services if the sequester is enacted, but I do not agree with the fearmongers who say our federal government can't possibly absorb a 2.5 percent decrease in federal spending," Herrera Beutler said.
"I would welcome a chance to apply the cuts more surgically than the across-the-board approach taken by the sequester as long as the overall spending decrease is at least as much as the sequester," she said.
Sequestration comes as a result of an earlier budget agreement between President Barack Obama and Congress. The spending cuts are split between military and domestic discretionary spending. Military personnel won't be cut, nor will Social Security, Medicare or highway funding. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that about 750,000 people could lose their jobs.
Many of the cuts could have real impacts in Washington state.
In Snohomish County, Head Start executive director Dana Connolly expects that about 40 children of the current 520 will lose the chance to attend Head Start preschool classes.
Two classrooms would be eliminated, meaning that about four full-time teachers and staff and five part-time aides would lose their jobs, Connolly said.
"Some low-income families are very fragile. For example, a $10 reduction in food stamps can tip some families into chaos," Connolly said. "Sometimes Head Start is the only constant in the lives of these children. We believe when they go on to kindergarten that our students and their families are better skilled in self-sufficiency."
So far, there are no clear answers as to when Connolly would have to cut her budget.
"We hope it's not until August so we have time to plan," she said. "In a nutshell, Congress is playing a game of chicken. I don't think they even know what is going to happen."
At Naval Station Everett, environmental protection specialist Jennifer Slavick, 32, of Shoreline, said she has some savings set aside. She is one of 1,000 civilian employees and contractors who work at the base. Another 1,200 work at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.
"Since the sequestration is not official yet, I've only spent a brief amount of time considering the possible impacts," Slavick said. "I hope I won't feel the financial constraints immediately."
In the meantime, Congress faces another deadline March 27. That's when the continuing resolution governing federal spending expires. Without a replacement, government will shut down.
U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, whose district covers northwestern Washington including Everett, said this week that he believes Congress will pass some sort of delay to the impacts before then.
Larsen opposes eliminating the sequester outright. But, he said, the sequester is like going to the barbershop and getting every hair shaved off one's head. A replacement measure would be like a trim around the ears, "not as severe," Larsen said.
House and Senate leaders are trying to craft a new resolution to cover the remaining six months of the fiscal year, Murray said.
DelBene, who represents a portion of Snohomish County, said she hopes Congress comes up with a lasting budget instead.
"The brinksmanship that's been going on has been damaging to our economy," she said. "It's the wrong way to manage and it's the wrong way to build our economy."
Herrera Beutler echoed the sentiment.
"Like most folks, I'm frustrated with the posturing and gridlock in Congress," she said. "Yet I remain hopeful that Congress can work together to avoid a government shutdown."
The impact of the reductions
Sequestration is the bureaucratic buzzword for automatic, across-the-board federal spending cuts. Below are some examples of the cuts for a full federal budget year:
Education: The loss of about $22.8 million statewide for schools and special education, putting around 300 teacher and aide jobs at risk. In addition about 11,000 low-income students could lose math and reading tutoring and other services. In the Everett School District, that's a loss of about $3 million. Marysville and Oak Harbor school districts could lose $4.6 million in federal aid to make up for tribal lands or military installations, which don't provide local property tax revenues. Head Start and Early Head Start services would be eliminated for 1,000 children statewide.
Higher education: Around the state, about 440 low-income students would lose college aid. At colleges and universities, the National Science Foundation would cut funding for research by graduate students.
Military: About 29,000 civilian Department of Defense in Washington would be furloughed, reducing gross pay by about $173.4 million. At Naval Station Everett, about 1,000 civilian employees and contractors would be subject to furloughs. At Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, about 1,200 civilian employees and contractors are waiting to hear about unpaid furloughs.
Boeing contracts: The factory in Everett could see delays in orders for tankers from the Air Force. The tanker contract is worth $35 billion and 50,000 jobs. Sequestration also could slow the contract in Renton for P-8A Poseidon jets to be stationed at Whidbey Island.
Paine Field: The FAA has said that if sequester cuts continue through 2014, Paine Field's air traffic control tower will close, causing delays for the region's air traffic system.
Health and human services: Cuts such as free vaccines for children, HIV tests, care for homeless people and public heath department work to deal with epidemics such as the recent whooping cough outbreak are problems.The state will lose $1 million for meals on wheels for homebound seniors.
Environment: The state stands to lose about $4 million for clean air and water, as well as fish and wildlife protection. Army Corps of Engineers projects could lose funding, including the loss of $2 million for the Qwuloolt tidal wetlands project in Marysville.
Business and jobs: Several programs could lose funding such as Community Development Block Grants, small business loans, job-search assistance, child care for low-income working parents and support for international trade. Staff furloughs in the Social Security and Veterans Administration departments would cause delays in claims submissions.

well I'm not really sure what functions the new aircrack implements, understand that WPA-TKIP isn't really "cracked" in the sense that you can get the key. It's more like it's exploitable
I installed the new WPA crack included in the latest air tools that was released the other day. So far I haven't been able to successfully use it, however. Has anyone else tried it yet? If so how did you go about getting it to work?
well I'm not really sure what functions the new aircrack implements, understand that WPA-TKIP isn't really "cracked" in the sense that you can get the key. It's more like it's exploitable
Well, yeah. Isn't it basically that you can intercept the traffic between a PC and a router? That's the way I understood it from what I've read.
Smaller packets can be decrypted without the use of the key, but larger packets should still be safe. Source: Slashdot
I am curious to give it a try and see how it handles out.
I have the card in me head, but you have the memory problems?
I am setting up a test rig to see this new attack in action and I plan to use it on multiple brands of routers which I have setup in test environments. I shall report my findings if someone does not do it before I do.
You're right, jkroeder. From: itworld.com/security/57285/once-thought-safe-wpa-wi-fi-encryption-cracked
"Security researchers say they've developed a way to partially crack the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) encryption standard used to protect data on many wireless networks."
"he was able to crack WPA encryption, in order to read data being sent from a router to a laptop computer. The attack could also be used to send bogus information to a client connected to the router."
"They have not, however, managed to crack the encryption keys used to secure data that goes from the PC to the router in this particular attack"
"Ruiu expects a lot more WPA research to follow this work. "Its just the starting point," he said. "Erik and Martin have just opened the box on a whole new hacker playground.""

No particular occasion - just a nice late summer Sunday.
I had half a bottle of Limerick Lane Collins Vineyard Zin '04 (RRV) left over from spaghetti with fresh tomato and mushroom sauce last night, and a nicely marbled Porterhouse with a nice big filet side.
I diced some garlic and soaked it in olive oil, put some mesquite charcoal in the firepot, got the wine out of the refrigerator, picked another tomato (no shortage there!) and put some potatoes in the oven to bake.
Limerick Lane (the road, pronounced to rhyme with "lime") goes easterly off Old Redwood Highway just a few yards from the Foppiano winery. Not long after you cross over 101, you come upon Limerick Lane winery on your left. Collins Vineyard is just across the road, with a mix of old (1910-1920) blocks of Zin and newer blocks replanted in the 1950s, more or less. Their wines sometimes don't show too well in the tasting room because they are not at all in the blockbuster style.
Old-fashioned tart cherry Zin. Very good! Tonight, the brambles were more evident than last night. The color was dark purple and it had a fresh fruit aroma. Bought at the winery 10/07 for $26.00. 14.6% alcohol.
Oh, yes, the steak was rare and tasty, and Gravenstein apple pie made a Sonoma County Classic meal, even if I'm in Santa Clara County.

Cay TV, 23 July 2008
Adnan Oktar: Everyone regards the European Union as perfectly natural. They regard the Mediterranean Union as normal. So it is perfectly reasonable for the Turks, our brothers, to come together. For example, if, may Allah forbid, Konya, Erzurum and Izmir were separate from us, we would say we are all brothers, ask what was going on and say we should be united.
Cay TV: You say it is as natural as that.
Adnan Oktar: As natural as that. WE SHARE ONE FAITH, ONE LANGUAGE AND ONE EVERYTHING. WE SHARE THE SAME ORIGINS, WE ARE BROTHERS, BUT WE ARE SEPARATED. If we suggested to Azerbaijan today that we should unite they would accept that very same day. All that is needed is for an official proposal to be made. We can easily unite as two states, one nation. There are no obstacles. That goes for Kazakhstan, too, and Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan and East Turkestan. They will all be better off as a result of amalgamating with Turkey. It is the same in the Islamic world. Iraq and Syria are really keen to unite with Turkey. The only problem lies in Turkey setting it out, giving it a name. All we need to is suggest it.
Azerbaijan Ayna Newspaper, 8 August 2008
Adnan Oktar: The latest developments show this. For example, Azerbaijan uniting with Turkey as a priority is a most vital matter and may even become a reality in these weeks or months or this year.... Absolutely everything about us is the same. Splitting Azerbaijan from Turkey is like splitting Ankara and Istanbul. There is no difference. The one is just as logical or illogical as the other. It needs to happen at once. If Turkey made an official proposal the answer from Azerbaijan would come back within 24 hours. They just need to make the proposal official. I do not think it would disturb anyone.
Iran Al Alam, 23 September 2008
Adnan Oktar: There will be a Turkish-Islamic Union under Turkish leadership within the next 10 years, let me say that. I am here. If it does not happen, then come and reproach me with it then. But it will happen. But Turkey and the Turkish nation will be at its head, let me make that plain. I am giving the fine detail. Azerbaijan will unite with Turkey as two states, one nation. Syria will soon unite with Turkey. Iraq will soon unite with Turkey, and there will be a chain reaction in a near future. The Caucasian project will come about, and that is part of the Turkish-Islamic Union.... There is no other road outside that, no alternative to the Turkish-Islamic Union. There is no other path for Islamic countries and for Turkey. This is ordained by Allah... there is a time for all things, and that holy time has now come, and will all come about, insha'Allah.
We will keep on defending Azerbaijan's benefits
In his address at the Azeri Parliament, Erdogan said that the Turkish and Azeri people rejoiced, grieved and, when necessary, waged war together. He then went on to state:
''The liberty and freedom of Azerbaijan, its well-being and peace, are as important as our own future, freedom, well-being and peace. There are unbreakable bonds between us. We share the same language, beliefs, customs and civilization. We have listened to the same legends together in the past, grown with the same epics, been moved by the same music and rhythms and danced to the same tunes and airs... Because we are one nation, two states. There is no change and there can be no change in this understanding… Azerbaijan's soul is our soul. Its existence is our existence, its happiness is our happiness. There is no room for any other instance of brotherhood in international relations. It exists solely between ourselves. It expresses itself as a lofty summit. We want the existence of our country to bring security to the Azeri Turks. Our duty as two brother countries is to maintain our close relations and to send a powerful message of unity to friend and foe, and for the governments and oppositions in our parliaments to permit no activities that might wear our countries down."

Bryson Allen-Williams | 6-2/213 | OLB | Cedar Grove
It would be nice to see Allen-Williams back on the second level at linebacker so he could work some in space and in coverage, but he is working at end, and he was quick off the edge on day one. He is great anticipation, he fires off the ball, and he only plays at one speed, fast. He could play inside or outside linebacker on the next level and be used as a rush specialist in certain situations, but in this game, he should really pressure the opposing quarterbacks.
Nick Chubb | 5-10/200 | RB | Cedartown
This young man created a buzz at North Atlanta Thursday afternoon. He had a good morning practice, then had an even better afternoon practice. He ran for over 2,700 yards in 2012 and he is a high three-star on Scout at this time, but he will add that fourth star early in the new year. He is quicker than expected, he got to the edge numerous times against some fast linebackers, and he showed toughness sticking up inside against a very good defensive front. He is a better back than many may have thought entering this event.
DeMarques Gates | 6-2/218 | OLB | Lovejoy
The Lovejoy defense was a big reason why they returned to the state championship game in 2012 and Gates was a big part of that. He is a lean linebacker close to 220 pounds with good length, good speed to the ball, and he is moved well in space. He is a kid that will pick up numerous offers in the coming months.
Justin Jones | 6-2/260 | DT | South Cobb
He is listed at 6-feet, 2-inches tall, and that may be stretching it a bit, but this kid is one to watch. He has great feet, he moved very well in the position drills, the inside run, and the team on this day. He is a nimble defensive lineman who can move. Expect to hear more about Jones in the coming months.
Demarre Kitt | 6-1/192 | WR | Sandy Creek
You have those guys that make things look easy at times, that was Kitt on Thursday. He made leaping catches, he made a one-handed catch 40 yards down the field, he made catches over a corner and safety, and he was extremely impressive. He is already a four-star receiver on Scout, but he will move up early in 2013 as we update the rankings. People that question his speed shouldn't; he simply plays as fast as he needs to.
Dontavius Russell | 6-3/303 | DT | Carrollton
Russell impressed Scout when we saw him live back in November and he picked up right where he left off on Thursday. He has very strong hands, he plays with good leverage, and he was very impressive when moving laterally today. He has a good burst off the ball and it will get better. He is one of the top defensive prospects in the state of Georgia for next year.
Elisha Shaw | 6-5/295 | DT | Tucker
It is hard for Shaw's stock to go up too much because he is already a top Scout100 member, but he was again impressive on Thursday. He is so quick off the ball, he is so athletic, and he is so disruptive in the trenches. He is still a raw prospect and he needs to improve the play of his hands and his pad level, but he has a very high ceiling on either side of the ball. Expect most, if not all schools to recruit him as a defensive tackle.
D.J. Smith | 6-1/180 | CB | Walton
Smith was a little slow in the morning practice with a sore toe, but he was back in the afternoon, and he was back in a big way. He is such a talented and versatile athlete and Scout has him ranked as the no. 13 corner in the country right now, but look for him to be a top 10 safety when the rankings are updated. He flashes through the secondary with great speed, he closes on the ball extremely well, and he is going to continue to grow in the coming year. This young man has a lot of natural ability and a lot of upside.
Deshaun Watson | 6-3/185 | QB | Gainesville
Watson had a strong start on Thursday at quarterback. He threw the ball very well in the morning session. He threw a very catchable ball, he spun the ball well, and he showed great touch. He is already a member of the Scout300 and he has made his case for months for the top junior quarterback in the Peach State.
Juwon Young | 6-3/230 | OLB | Albany
No offers yet for Young, that should change in the not so distant future. This young man has been on the Scout radar since the spring of 2012 and he is a high three-star now, but there is no question that he is a four-star talent. He worked at outside linebacker and was killing receivers on the bubble screens and catching running backs on the edge before the could turn the corner. He looks like a college linebacker right now and he hits like one too. He really attacked the football well on Thursday and he took good angles while doing that. He is receiving a lot of mail, but no offers yet.
Others that stood out: Cole Garvin (QB - Sandy Creek), Cortez McDowell (S - Locust Grove), Raekwon McMillan (LB - Liberty County), and Milan Richard (TE - Calvary Day).

Does anyone out there know if there is a practical way to sign PDFs to enable me at a later date to determine if a PDF has been tampered with?
I know you can password protect them etc but what I want to be able to do is create a PDF and then if needed at a later date get that PDF back from a client and verify that the signature is mine (or my companies), and that they aren't using a modified (or otherwise regenerated) PDF.
Preferably this could be done with existing GPG (PGP) Keys.
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.

These are the leather gloves that enable complete control of touchscreen devices while keeping the hands warm. Ideal for use with smartphones, iPads, ATMs, fuel pumps, or GPS devices, the gloves' lambskin exteriors are impregnated with conductive material during the tanning process that allows their fingers to mimic the touch of human skin for nuanced, tactile control of capacitive touchscreen devices. Unlike traditional gloves that cannot interact with newer smartphone screens, these gloves allow accurate typing and enable any touchscreen command, such as zooming in or out via pinch gestures or scrolling through pictures with finger swipes. The 100% cashmere lining keeps hands toasty warm. Black. Women's. Size S. Presented in our signature gift box.

Weird, Small Fit, Defectively Sewn
By Comfort Seeker
from Denver
I ordered size M based on my hand measurement. The thumb of one gove was sewn in such a way that I could not insert my thumb into it. I was able to barely put the other glove on and, though the fingers were too long, the glove was way too tight. I have a very small hand and usually wear a small and the medium was way too tight. Going up a size would have made the fingers even longer. Because of the exorbitant return shipping cost, it's not worth returning them. They'll be a brand new, unworn, donation.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

runs small
By EveT
from Connecticut
Contrary to the size chart, these gloves run very small. All my other gloves are size 7.5, which is supposed to be a M, but the M was way too small. I'm waiting for a Large in exchange.I did test out the touch screen response briefly, and it seems to work well.

The Bronson High Eagles found themselves in a dogfight last Friday night when they hosted their district nemesis Trenton.
The Eagles came out winners in a 60-49 slugfest that was never assured until the final seconds.
Always prepared, tough on defense and good on the shot, Trenton came in ready to play.
Bronson played well often, if occasionally erratically, but the Eagles were brutally efficient in the final minutes.

With the presidential primary season underway, it occurred to us here at PW that libraries have been glaringly absent from the national political conversation. But we think that, with all the talk about "infrastructure," a commitment to libraries would be a great national investment. So, we asked Nancy to imagine herself on a rope line, where she would have a minute or so to bend the ear of the president or one of his would-be challengers, before security released her vise-like handshake. Could Nancy the librarian be this year's Joe the Plumber? What, we wondered, would be Nancy Pearl's rope-line pitch for a national commitment to libraries?
A: I'd begin by introducing myself as a mother, a grandmother, a writer, a librarian, an educator—and a voter. Then I'd explain that a commitment to our libraries is a commitment to our democracy. Libraries are one of the last two egalitarian institutions left in our country—public schools are the other, and we can all pretty much agree that there's not much good news on that front these days. Public libraries are places where everyone, regardless of age, ethnicity, economic status, politics, birthplace, language, race, sex, and sexual orientation—all the things that seem to separate us—bring us together. Libraries are not simply repositories for books, they are among the most humane of all public institutions, and because we serve all members of the community equally, also among the most civilizing. "As a politician," I'd say, "perhaps you know better than anyone what happens when a community loses its sense of civility."
Libraries are where kids come for homework help, or story time. Where those without access to computers can research and apply for jobs, or get help with their résumé. Where non-English speakers can find reading materials in their native language or practice their new English skills in "talk time" sessions. It's the place where communities can come to hear a speaker, an author, or just each other. Where knowledgeable, trained staff every day help people find that next great book to read, and we know how important a strong reading culture is to our nation. Libraries are a vital asset to our nation and essential to any community's health and well-being. A community without a library, I'd say, is without a heart.
And just as the bodyguards try to hustle the candidate away, I'd say to them: "Please, just go visit your public library!" If they did, they would see that all of what I just described is happening there, and how their support could make a real difference.
Kids and E-readers?
Q: Hi, Nancy! I'm deliberating getting an e-reader for my eight-year-old twin boys. My husband loves his, though I'm a little more old-school. Pros: the kids read all the time and it would help keep up with book demand and storage. Cons: it's a device, so more screen time, and going to a book store is no longer a treat. And the devices are breakable. I'm sure there are other factors, but my coffee's still brewing—what are your feelings about e-readers for children?
—Karen, Redmond, Wash.
A: This is a question that I get asked a lot, so I've spent a lot of time thinking about it. And you're right, there are several different issues involved. One is, of course, the convenience of e-readers. They sure do make it easy to pack a lot of books, leaving room in one's vacation suitcase for other things, and they do minimize the amount of space given to storing books at home. Of course, I could also argue, as Anthony Powell so provocatively titled one of his Dance to the Music of Time novels, that "books do furnish a room." To me, there's nothing more interesting than going into someone's house and seeing their books displayed. In fact, check out the picture of the bookshelves in my living room [see opposite]—you certainly know much more about me and my reading tastes after seeing what I've chosen to keep.
But, as you suggest, there are also more serious issues surrounding children and e-readers. The amount of time that most eight-year-olds spend in front of a screen—whether it's a television, computer, or a video game—is astounding. My sister is Susan Linn, the author of The Case for Make Believe: Saving Play in a Commercialized World, as well as the director of the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood and an instructor in psychiatry at the Harvard Medical School. She pointed out to me that, on average, children ages eight to 18 already spend more than seven hours a day with electronic media. I say, if your boys enjoy reading, maybe encourage hands-on engagement with traditional books, and perhaps try to limit use of an e-reader to when the family is traveling?
Lastly, I've always found one of the joys of reading to be serendipity—looking for a particular book on the shelf at a library or bookstore and finding an even more interesting-looking book in the process. That discovery aspect is mostly lost with an e-reader, because often you're usually downloading particular, already selected titles.
I read on both an iPad and a Kindle, and I don't mind it at all. It still doesn't feel quite like real reading to me, though, and I am still trying to figure out what it does feel like. I know that I haven't clutched either one of those devices to my bosom because I loved what I was reading, as I have done with "real" books. But the iPad, and similar tablets, do have one advantage over printed books. Angry Birds! But whether this is actually an advantage, in a device intended for use as an e-reader, I will leave to your own judgment.
Books to Read Before You Die
Isn't the title wonderful? It came from a new e-mail correspondent of mine, 14-year-old Austin Preece, who, along with his mother and younger sister, is collaborating with me to compile just such a list for children and teens. Going forward, I'll be offering a list of essential reading, old and new, on a range of subjects and genres. To start, here's the children and teens list Austin and I have come up with thus far. We'd welcome your input, as well, right, Austin?

Redlands police have arrested a San Bernardino man on suspicion of stealing bags of recyclable items from a backyard when he failed to break into a home.
Police came to the 80 block of Kathi Street in Redlands about 9 a.m. Monday after a resident said a burglar tried to enter her home through several windows. She locked herself in a bathroom and stayed on the phone with dispatchers.
Officers arrived and found 21-year-old Armundo Johnson Jimenez in the woman's backyard, tossing bags of recyclable items over the fence, police said.
Police arrested Jimenez and booked him into Central Detention Center in San Bernardino.
Redlands police suggest the following tips for residents:
- Lock all doors and windows before leaving home or going to sleep.
- Leave lights on when going out. Connect lights to automatic timers if you plan to be gone a long time.
- Install exterior lighting, including motion-sensitive lights in the backyard.
- Trim trees and shrubs so they can't be used as hiding places.
- For long periods away from home, arrange to have the U.S. Post Office hold mail or have someone else pick it up. Call Redlands police to conduct a vacation check, 909-798-7681.
- Residents or business owners may contact Rick Stroubaugh for a site security assessment at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Isn't it tricky what you should wear when you go shopping? I was headed to the Tommy Hilfiger store in Mumbai to review their spring/summer collection and hopefully, make an addition to my wardrobe.
What I wore: Flower Pot Printed Dress – Chemistry | Clutch – BlackCurrent at Bliss | Shoes – Platinum Mall, Bangkok
What I tried: I put together three different looks so you get a feel and idea of the range.
First up, it was a blue and white dress with piping on the neckline and a waist belt to match. I loved the casual avatar. The fabric is perfect for the summers, the striped pattern is classic and the silhouette comfortable. And you don't need to break the bank to own it, it's aptly priced.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As of Sept. 1, there were 988 million bushels of corn and 169 million bushels of soybeans in storage, according to the quarterly Grain Stocks report released by the USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS).
By Sept. 1, there were 314 million bushels of corn stored on U.S. farms, down slightly from September 2011. There was a significant decrease in off-farm corn stock. On Sept. 1, off-farm storage facilities held 675 million bushels of corn, down 17 percent from the prior year. The U.S. corn disappearance totaled 2.16 billion bushels during the summer of 2012, down from the disappearance of 2.54 billion bushels during the same time period last year.
A similar situation is replicated in soybean stocks. As of Sept. 1, there were 169 million bushels in storage. Of these, 38.3 million bushels were stored on the farms, and 131 million bushels off the farms, a 21 percent decrease for both categories. Indicated soybean disappearance during the June-August period totaled 498 million bushels, compared to 404 million bushels disappearance during the same time frame last year.
NASS also released the Small Grains 2012 Summary. In 2012 U.S. small grain farmers successfully rebounded from the 2011 adverse weather. In 2012, the growers harvested 49 million acres to wheat this year, producing 2.27 billion bushels, up 13 percent from 2011.

LONG BEACH - In an IZOD IndyCar pit, it's not seconds that matter, it's tenths of a second.
To push that knife's edge - where a quick stop can mean peeling out onto the track ahead of a rival driver - a crew of six work in a burst of frenetic activity.
Their tools: four impact wrenches to change tires weighing 18 to 25 pounds, an air jack that lifts a 1,565-pound Dallara DW12 chassis with 400 pounds- per-square-inch of pressure and a gravity-operated hose system that drops 18 1/2 gallons of fuel in a tank in only a few seconds.
"The intensity level has tripled since I started," said Ricky Davis, the crew chief for New Zealander Scott Dixon's No. 9 Target Chip Ganassi Racing car.
A racing lifer, Davis, 52, has more than 40 years experience in racing.
He started with Ganassi Racing 18 years ago, in an era when there was more room for error since fuel tanks then held 40 gallons. Time improvements were measured in half seconds, five times the margins today.
"Now, with the fuel cells on the car, fuel can almost flow as fast as you can do the tires," Davis said.
Target Ganassi mechanics work out four days a week at their Indianapolis garage to help hit their marks and avoid injury.
Routines include cardiovascular and core exercises and weight training. On the fifth day, the crew members do yoga.
In contrast to all the sweat and elbow grease expended to get there, on race days, the pit environment and the crews that work there are tranquil, but for brief moments.
At the Long Beach race, the track can't be fully seen from the pit stations.
Crews sit in a maze of tires, hoses and telemetry stations, talking quietly to each other or watching cars zip around the track on televisions and video screens.
Their serenity comes from what the mechanics call focus training, a Zen-like term for internalizing the steps it takes to pit a race car.
"You kind of focus your brain waves and heart rate," Davis said. "We know what we have to do. You get it slowed down in your head."
A lap-or-so prior to a stop, the driver makes contact via radio with the crew. Based on the driver's feedback about the state of the car, air may be added or let out of tires, or the crew prepares to alter the aerodynamic wings of the car.
As the driver and car approaches pit lane, the mechanics vault over the knee-high wall, positioning themselves and four tires at the sides.
The race car roars in, the driver braking to a precision stop between the four tire men.
The air jack operator jams the tool into the rear of the vehicle. The fuel hose is inserted. Drills whir, removing lug nuts. Tires are popped on, the drills pump again, the jack and hose are disengaged and the car screeches away.
Time elapsed: about six seconds.
At least, that's how it's supposed to go. On Sunday, Dixon's car stalled on the track on lap 25, before he was able to make a pit stop. He finished 23rd.
Dixon's teammate, defending series champion Dario Franchitti of Scotland, finished in 15th place after starting on pole position following an accident that forced his crew to change the car's front wing.
Back in the garage area immediately after the race, Davis and crew quickly got to work breaking down shop to transport the team back to Indiana, then at the end of this week, to Sao Paulo, Brazil, for the next race on April29.
The disappointing finish meant a shorter day. A top-five result would have meant the driver and vehicle would have stayed out for media interviews, said team spokesman Kelby Krauss.
If Dixon had won, there would have been a media tour in the evening.
The shorter day was appreciated, but for the mechanics who toil all weekend to ensure the fastest car possible for their driver, the win would have been preferred.
"When it's low key, it probably means things didn't go the way you wanted," Krauss said.

Market Experts Question Why Gold Didn't Shine During Market Rout
Kitco News - After Monday's global market rout, it left many market participants scratching their heads in wonder as to why gold didn't perform better.
U.S. markets rebounded on Tuesday following Monday's massive declines which traders say were already in the cards given indicators which pointed to oversold markets.
TheStreet's Jim Cramer says wait till the panic subsides, then start buying these stocks and funds.
