For IT managers in the U.S., the early switch to daylight-saving time in March will require testing and potentially patching of all systems and applications that rely on time stamps.

By Pete Bach, The Post-Crescent, Appleton, Wis.  Mar. 6--Many people won't lose any sleep Sunday when daylight-saving time  kicks in nearly a month early.    Another Y2K it's not, according to one computer expert.

SAN FRANCISCO - Daylight-saving time begins Sunday, three weeks sooner than usual. Time to spin the dial on the kitchen clock - and to brace for computer problems. The early start wasn't programmed into many electronic devices. That's created plenty of work for Luis Rodriguez, a software director at IBM, and David Woelfle, an enterprise architect at Electronic Data Systems. The two tech experts have helped dozens of companies update computer systems for the change.

What's the real risk? Comment If the fuss currently being made about Dubbya's attempt to save energy by making the US go to Daylight Saving Time a fortnight early reminds me of anything, it's the hype we had to endure eight years ago about the Millennium Bug.â¦

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created an atomic clock which measures a mere 1.5mm by 5mm. This is just slightly larger than a grain of rice. Compared to the current crop of commercially available atomic clocks, most of which are about the size of a large filing cabinet, this leap in miniaturization is expected to impact everything from navigation to faster cell phone and data networks. Atomic clocks are prized for their precision. Unlike their piezoelectric crystal counterparts, they use the vibrations of atoms to time events, and are much more accurate because atomic vibrations aren't wildly influenced by environmental factors. An atomic clock might lose a second every three hundred years - a quartz crystal clock loses a second a day. The leap was made possible not by a mere decrease in size, since the technology has existed to do that for years, but by a decrease in power consumption. Current atomic clicks use a couple of watts, but the NIST atomic clock only use 30-50 milliwatts (thousandths of a watt).

By THE RECORD'S STAFF  It's not exactly Y2K, but when daylight-saving time starts next month, beware of computer glitches.  That's because clocks will spring forward an hour on the second Sunday in March, three weeks earlier than usual.

Careful with that antique clock. It could pose a mercury hazard. The silvery, skittering, and toxic liquid can be found in some antiques. Mirrors can be backed with mercury and tin; Clock pendulums might be weighted with embedded vials of mercury; and barometers, thermometers and lamps may have mercury in their bases for ballast.

At NIST's Time and Frequency lab in Colorado, scientists build precision clocks from elements like mercury and ytterbium. The instruments harness general relativity to detect a range of conditions and situations, from heart defects to subterranean oil fields. Just don't ask them what time it is.

By Daniel Patrick SheehanAs any science fiction buff can tell you, no good can come from fiddling with time. Alas, Congress did it anyway, by extending daylight-saving time.
