Extra sunlight is coming your way! Daylight Saving Time (DST) kicks in at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 12, and while initially you lose one hour of time, you’ll gain longer daylight in the evenings as spring approaches.

Benjamin Franklin is credited with the DST plan, believing that altering time twice a year would cause better use of daylight hours and save on oil used to light winter nights. The plan went into effect in 1918 under U.S. federal law, but states had the option to observe it or not. During World War II daylight saving time was mandatory for the entire country in order to save resources. When the war ended, the time change went back to being optional, and several states and U.S. territories currently choose to ignore it, including Arizona, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands.

Ah, Shakespeare in the... Old West?! The lovely Sunny Day (Ashley Ruzicka) arrives in Gravel Gulch with an acting troupe determined to bring culture to the locals. The troupe is led by the conceited, dashing, and dubious Noble Heart (Ron Smith) – a man with ulterior motives. Sunny falls for the handsome Texas Ranger Johnny Lasso (Logan March) who’s on the trail of a notorious crook – Gentleman Dan, a master of disguise. Maybe the show isn’t the only thing that Noble Hart and cohort Duchess (Robin Spindler) are trying to steal! With more bandits, thrilled townspeople with secrets of their own, hijinks ensue.

The Robot Report

BY FRANK TOBE

Three hundred drones flashed their colored lights and created a flying American flag as Lady Gaga sang a blend of “God Bless America” and “This Land Is Your Land” to 160 million viewers of this year’s Super Bowl on Feb. 5. Oh... and two football teams played into overtime and the final score was 34 to 28. Intel, Disney and ARS Electronica were all involved in the development of the drones, software and content. But because of restrictions by the FAA, the drones didn’t actually perform during the Super Bowl half-time show. They were actually filmed earlier and sync’d into Lady Gaga’s song as background, and appeared on all the monitors as though they were really there overhead. All the tech media seemed to be in a huff because of the FAA restriction, but the spectacular effect of 300 drones creating America’s red, white and blue flag (and, in a 10-second ad after the game, the Pepsi and Intel logos as well), was reason enough to review the details of how it all worked and who did it. The “Shooting Star” drones by Intel are a foot across and weigh just eight ounces to soften impacts. Each is equipped with a special LED that can produce four billion color combinations. The performance was coordinated by a central computer that can do unlimited UAV animations in three dimensions. Intel recently set a world record by flying 500 of them together and said “we hope this experience inspires other creatives, artists and innovators to really Photo caption: Drones flashing colored lights formed a flying American flag as Lady Gaga sang at this year’s think about how they can incorporate drone technology Super Bowl. in new ways.” The sophisticated algorithms even check the battery levels and assign lesser roles to weaker drones — if one should drop out, a reserve unit automatically takes its For more information, visit www.robotreport.com. place within a few seconds.
