Daylight Savings Time

March 14, 2010 at 02:00AM the USA switched to Daylight Savings Time--spring forward one hour.  It is a good time to change batteries in clocks and smoke and carbon dioxide detectors in the home.

While intended to make better use of daylight hours available, there is still controversy and not everyone supports the practice.

Global and local implementation of daylight savings time.  Many countries around the world work with daylight savings time while, at the same time, it has local implementation.  Not all states accept the practice and some states have two time zones during the time it is implemented.  (The USA will revert to "standard time" [fall back one hour] at 02:00AM on November 7, 2010.)
