About 200 Red Cross workers staged a strike Monday, leaving the group understaffed but operating. A Farmington spokesperson said shortfalls would be covered by national resources as managers continued deliveries and a blood drive.

The Global Positioning System uses 24 satellites to locate any object with a GPS receiver. Civilian signals were fogged to limit accuracy to 300 to 600 feet, but will now be disclosed to locate within 30 to 60 feet. John Pike of the Federation of American Scientists notes U.S. benefits from global use and control, arguing safety and deterrence justify offering a superior system for free despite potential security costs.
