In honor of Daylight Saving Time, this week's featured site is:
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 European Union, it starts at 1 am the last Sunday in March, and ends the last Sunday in October. Daylight Saving Time, for the U.S. and its territories, is NOT observed in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Eastern Time Zone portion of the State of Indiana, and the state of Arizona (not the Navajo Indian Reservation, which does observe). Navajo Nation participates in the Daylight Saving Time policy, due to its large size and location in three states. This site includes detailed information, history, laws and more!

Ask Judi!This week brings an announcement from NASA:
NASA has begun to recruit and select K-12 educators to join NASA's Astronaut Corps, supporting the Agency's education mission - "…to inspire the next generation of explorers...as only NASA can." NASA's vision is that K-12 educators can help NASA explore the bold frontiers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in ways never done before. NASA hopes these selected educators will become a direct connection to classrooms by sharing with their fellow educators and students the talents and disciplines necessary to make history, to break barriers, and to explore frontiers. An Educator Astronaut is a fully qualified member of NASA’s Astronaut Corps who has an expertise in K-12 education. Educator Astronauts will be trained to perform all of the functions and responsibilities (space walks, International Space Station deployment, experiment management, etc.) that the Agency’s Mission Specialist astronauts are qualified to perform. For the first time, NASA is recruiting individuals with specific experience and expertise in K-12 education. NASA is looking for the Educator Astronauts to help lead the Agency in the development of new ways to connect space exploration with the classroom, and to inspire the next generation of explorers. Do you know a teacher who is great? Nominate that teacher
to be part of NASA's Educator Astronaut Program and he or she may even
become the next Educator Astronaut! Deadline April 30, 2003. Good Luck! Each week, I'll use this area to answer your questions, post announcements, and provide interesting input! So please email me at EduHoundWeekly@eduhound.com and watch for your answer here!
