If you've ever wished you could have one hour back, tonight's your night.
Skip to next paragraph
At 2 a.m. local time Nov. 7 – the wee hours of Sunday morning – Daylight Saving Time ends for much of the United States. That means turning clocks back one hour for an extra bit of shut-eye or an extra chapter or two in that novel before hitting the pillow.
The "Spring forward, Fall back" ritual was codified in the Uniform Time Act of 1966. States can opt out, of course. Hawaii and Arizona have said no thanks to the time changes that kick in on the second Sunday in March and the first Sunday in November.
But the rest of the country, including the once temporally bifurcated Indiana, are now on board.
If the twice-a-year clock tweaking seems a bit of a hassle, don't blame Ben Franklin, the oft-cited originator of the policy. He did offer up a version, but as satire – a dig at folks in Paris who apparently didn't hew to the "early to bed, early to rise" mantra he crafted.
Blame the Kiwis, instead. Back in 1895, one George Vernon Hudson, post-office clerk by day, entomologist during his off hours, offered up the notion of a two-hour time shift to the Wellington Philosophical Society as a means "to bring working-hours of the day within the period of daylight." Many were the tut-tuts, according to a brief record of his presentation.
Three years later, he offered up a refined version of the idea, arguing that "in this way the early-morning daylight would be utilised, and a long period of daylight leisure would be made available in the evening for cricket, gardening, cycling, or any other outdoor pursuit desired."
Perhaps not wanting to sound too self-serving, he declined to list his his favorite off-duty activity -- bug hunting. That presumably fell under the catch-all "any other outdoor pursuit."
It would be another 19 years before a nation would formally adopt the idea – Germany during World War 1 – as a way to cut down on energy demand, an aspect of Daylight Saving Time that is still a subject of dispute.
So before you trundle off to sleep tonight, make the rounds and tweak the clocks. While you're at it, public safety officials nationwide add that it's a good time to put new batteries in smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors.
Savor the extra hour, if you get one. Come next March, it's outta here again when Daylight Saving Time returns.

Google Inc. is launching a salvo against Facebook Inc., saying it will no longer allow the social network to grab information about Google users' social and professional contacts in Gmail, Google's email service.
Google has always allowed Google users to transfer data, including their contacts, to other websites. Until now, new Facebook users could find out whether their contacts on Gmail also had Facebook accounts, simply by typing in their Gmail user name and password as part of the Facebook signup process.

President Obama speaks at the U.S.-India Business Council and Entrepreneurship Summit on Saturday in Mumbai, India.President unveils about $10 billion in new contracts for U.S. exports to IndiaIt's a delicate balancing act amid frustration with outsourcing of U.S. jobs to Indian call centersIn U.S., Republicans skeptical, cite stalled South Korea, Colombia, Panama trade dealsBoeing chairman, who's also on trip, predicts much global cooperation
Mumbai, India (CNN) -- Eager to fend off any criticism that he's globetrotting just days after a disastrous midterm election, President Obama unveiled about $10 billion in new contracts for U.S. exports to India on Saturday as he launched an aggressive push to show his trip to Asia will deliver jobs back home.
"The United States sees Asia, and especially India, as a market of the future," Obama said at a meeting here with business leaders from the U.S. and India. "For America, this is a jobs strategy."
It is a delicate balancing act for Obama to promote broader trade relations with India, given American frustration with the outsourcing of U.S. jobs to call centers in cities like Bangalore here in India.
But Obama took the issue head-on, by asserting that the notion of Indian outsourcing being a net drain on the U.S. economy is part of a "caricature of India as a land of call centers and back offices that cost American jobs."
"But these old stereotypes, these old concerns ignore today's reality," Obama said. "In 2010, trade between our countries is not just a one-way street of American jobs and companies moving to India. It is a dynamic, two-way relationship that is creating jobs, growth, and higher living standards in both our countries."
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, and other Republicans back in Washington, however, immediately expressed skepticism about Obama's renewed interest in the issue after failing to move forward on pending trade deals with South Korea, Colombia and Panama.
Don Stewart, spokesman for McConnell, said the senator delivered a speech on the Senate floor the day after Obama's inauguration urging the new president to make the trade deals a top priority because "increasing markets overseas for our farmers, entrepreneurs and manufacturers through trade agreements will grow good jobs."
Stewart said at a subsequent meeting, McConnell renewed his call to move the trade agreements but "sadly, Democrats in Congress said 'no' to these agenda items."
But Stewart did add that McConnell is "encouraged" that Obama suggested Saturday that he is now moving forward on the trade deal with South Korea, another country the president is visiting later in the week.
"It's certainly welcome," Stewart said. "We know that expanding markets for American goods, services and agriculture overseas will help increase jobs here at home. And maybe the president's renewed focus will encourage Democrats in Congress to join us in this bipartisan effort."
Obama penned an op-ed in Saturday's New York Times headlined "Exporting Our Way to Stability," in which he vowed that in Seoul he would "work to complete a trade pact that could be worth tens of billions of dollars in increased exports and thousands of jobs for American workers."
Obama also reiterated his call to double U.S. exports all around the world in the next five years. "We want to be known not just for what we consume, but for what we produce," he wrote. "And the more we export abroad, the more jobs we create in America. In fact, every $1 billion we export supports more than 5,000 jobs at home."
Obama announced Saturday that about 54,000 U.S. jobs will be created by $10 billion in new contracts for the Indian government and private companies here to buy a slew of American products, including jet airplanes from Boeing as well as engines and gas turbine technology from General Electric.
James McNerney, Boeing's chairman of the board who serves on an advisory council for the president and made the trip to India, credited Obama with helping to encourage the deals that will enable his company to sell 10 C-17 military transport planes to the Indian air force as well as 30 737s to commercial airlines in India.
"Having the president here, it helps," McNerney said. "Ever since the civil nuclear deal, which really brought closer ties between India and the United States in a lot of areas, I think the follow-on impact of that has been closer military ties. For the president to state as a priority, by his presence, that closer cooperation, sharing technology across the two countries, can only help. And in this case, it has."
McNerney also addressed the issue of outsourcing by American companies, suggesting that it may have gone too far.
"Big companies like Boeing have gone through a period of making their business models very horizontal," McNerney told reporters. "I think we're all wrestling with that model. It's become overextended in some cases."
He added that he predicts there will be a lot of global cooperation "but somewhat less outsourcing. That's just my take."
Shuttle Discovery will shoot for launch Thursday BY WILLIAM HARWOOD STORY WRITTEN FOR CBS NEWS "SPACE PLACE" & USED WITH PERMISSION Posted: November 3, 2010
Despite threatening weather, NASA managers Wednesday cleared the shuttle Discovery for launch Thursday on its 39th and final mission, deciding an electrical glitch that prompted a 24-hour delay was not a threat to flight safety. Liftoff was targeted for 3:29:43 p.m. EDT.
Credit: Justin Ray/Spaceflight Now NASA's mission management team reviewed an engineering assessment that concluded the electrical problem was most likely caused by "transient contamination" in a circuit breaker. Critical equipment on that circuit operated normally after the breaker was cycled several times and there have been no other signs of trouble.
"At the end of the day, I'll kind of cut to the chase and say we wrapped up with a unanimous poll out of the MMT, no dissenting opinions, no requests for additional data, everybody was very comfortable with the story that came together today," said Mike Moses, chairman of the mission management team.
"Really, the rationale there is all the evidence points to this being a circuit breaker problem, a power supply feed problem, it's not a controller problem so it's not a main engine controller. So no worries there the main engine controller itself is going to have problems later on."
While Discovery appears to be in good shape, dismal weather is on tap Thursday with high winds expected Friday and Saturday.
With a frontal system moving through the area, forecasters are predicting an 80 percent chance of low clouds and rain that would prohibit a launching Thursday. High winds are expected Friday and Saturday, with forecasters putting the odds of acceptable weather at 60 percent and 40 percent respectively.
The shuttle's current launch window runs through Sunday. After that, the angle between the sun and the plane of the station's orbit would result in higher-than-allowable heating of the shuttle after docking. The year's final shuttle launch window opens Dec. 1 and closes five days later.
Hoping for the best, engineers were cleared to roll a protective gantry away from Discovery late Wednesday, after a delay because of a lightning advisory, setting the stage for the start of fueling at 6:04 a.m. Thursday.
Mission managers will meet at 5:30 a.m. to assess the weather.
"The weather still looks really bad for tomorrow," Moses said. "But we're going to go ahead and go down to the tanking telecon in the morning. ... If the forecast tomorrow morning is still as bad as it is today, there's a chance we might decide not to spend one of our (launch) opportunities tomorrow. But it's too early to make that call right now."
Hoping for the best, Discovery's six-member crew -- commander Steven Lindsey, pilot Eric Boe, Michael Barratt, Nicole Stott and spacewalkers Timothy Kopra Alvin Drew -- plans to begin strapping in around 12:09 p.m. to await liftoff.
Assuming an on-time launch, Lindsey will guide Discovery to a docking with the International Space Station around 11:29 a.m. on Nov. 6. Spacewalks by Kopra and Drew are scheduled for Nov. 8 and 10. If all goes well, Discovery will undock from the lab complex around 5:27 a.m. on Nov. 13, setting up a landing back at the Kennedy Space Center at 10:24 a.m. on Nov. 15.

U.S. SHOPPERS | WORLDWIDE Engineers started Discovery's final countdown Monday after working through the weekend to replace and retest leaking quick-disconnect fittings in the shuttle's right-side orbital maneuvering system rocket pod. That work forced NASA to delay launch from Monday to Tuesday and, eventually, to Wednesday.
Launch was delayed 24 hours to Thursday after engineers ran into problems with a circuit associated with a control computer mounted on one of Discovery's three hydrogen-fueled main engines. One of the controller's two channels did not power up when a switch was thrown. An hour and 45 minutes later, the controller powered up on its own.
Engineers then powered down the controller and cycled the circuit breaker five times. They also turned the controller off and on. A switch was then cycled five times and then re-powered the controller. There were no problems.
An hour and 45 minutes after that, however, telemetry indicated a 5-volt drop in the circuit for a brief 180 milliseconds. The drop was within design specification, but it was unusual and mission managers ordered a 24-hour delay to gain a better understanding of the overall issue.
As it turned out, Moses said, the engineering analysis showed that short voltage drops are not unusual and that very slight changes in the operation of other equipment on the circuit can produce similar signatures.
"Another big piece of data that got us comfortable today was the fact that it's not all that uncommon," he said. "And so again, when we laid it all out it all racked up to be pretty clear that our most probable cause here is we had contamination on that circuit breaker, that we slowly cleared it off by scrubbing (cycling) it. In fact, after we left last night, we scrubbed it five more times. Those power-up signatures were perfect.
"So, pretty good proof that we knocked the contamination off. Our history shows us that once we do that, that is a solid connection and it's not going to change and therefore we had pretty good acceptance rationale today to go fly."
Each main engine is equipped with a controller that monitors engine operation -- valve positions, temperatures, pressure, vibration and other factors -- 50 times per second. Those data are fed to the shuttle's flight computers and if a problem develops, an engine can be safely shut down before a catastrophic failure occurs.
If a controller channel fails before launch, a countdown hold or an on-pad abort would result. If a controller channel fails after liftoff, the affected engine would continue operating with a single channel. A second failure, however, would trigger an automatic engine shutdown and abort.
But the engineering review determined the electrical anomalies in the backup channel of main engine No. 3's controller were most likely the result of transient contamination in a circuit breaker located in the shuttle's cockpit behind the commander's seat.
"Given history of contamination issues in circuit breaker operation, signature of failure seen in this launch countdown is most probable cause," according to an MMT presentation.
"System behavior following last circuit breaker cycling indicates a strong conducting contact surface across all three phases."
