Matthew 7:7� Today's Refdesk Link of the Day is: Daylight Saving Time: History, Rationale, Laws and Dates at: http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/ This site provides information about Daylight Saving Time. Daylight Saving Time begins for most of the United States at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday of April. Time reverts to standard time at 2 a.m. on the last Sunday of October. In the U.S., each time zone switches at a different time. In the European Union, Summer Time begins and ends at 1 am Universal Time (Greenwich Mean Time). It starts the last Sunday in March, and ends the last Sunday in October. In the EU, all time zones change at the same moment. EMAZING.com Proudly Presents Web Site of the Day Sunday April 7, 2002 Daylight Saving Time Ever wonder why we have Daylight Saving Time? It doesn't seem to make a lot of sense, but there really was a rationale behind it. You can find that rationale at the Daylight Saving Time site link below this tip. The site has an explanation, a chart of when the time changes through the year 2006 (with a calculator that will let you figure it through 2099), and even an explanation of how and when standard time began and more about Worldwide Daylight Saving Time. The site is easy to read and understand and makes this odd time change more understandable.
