In fact, most of Michigan is in the Eastern Time Zone. Only four counties (Gogebic, Iron, Dickinson, and Menominee) in the western Upper Peninsula that share their southern border with the state of Wisconsin are in the United States Central Time Zone. Michigan uses Daylight Savings Time (DST) on the second Sunday in March until 2:00 am on the first Sunday in November. At 2 a.m., all but two states jumped forward to 3 a.m. Arizona and Hawaii do not observe DST. ps:The only two smart states out there!!

The Fab Five consisted of Detroit natives Chris Webber (#1) and Jalen Rose (#5), Chicago native Juwan Howard (#3), and two recruits from Texas: Plano's Jimmy King (#9) and Austin's Ray Jackson (#84). They reached the 1992 and 1993 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship games as both freshmen and sophomores. However, most of their wins and both of their Final Four appearances were vacated in the wake of a major scandal involving improper payments.

The “Pig War” is celebrated because it was ultimately resolved by negotiation and compromise instead of by guns and force, and there were no casualties except the pig. The confrontation and its resolution are also significant in history because it led to the San Juan Islands being awarded to the United States instead of Great Britain.

DraculaThe ShiningFrankensteinCarrie Frankenstein 14 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: FRANKENSTEIN Answer: Frankenstein is a novel written by English author Mary Shelley and published on this day in 1818. The novel tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a grotesque creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley started writing the story when she was nineteen, and the novel was published when she was twenty-one. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818. Shelley's name appears on the second edition, published in France in 1823. Shelly was inspired to write the legendary novel after entering a friendly competition to see who could write the best horror story.

Roosevelt gave his first national radio address—or “fireside chat”—broadcast directly from the White House. At the time, the U.S. was at the lowest point of the Great Depression, with between 25 and 33 percent of the workforce unemployed. The nation was worried, and Roosevelt’s address was designed to ease fears and to inspire confidence in his leadership. Roosevelt went on to deliver 30 more of these “fireside chats”. They reached an astonishing number of American households, 90 percent of which owned a radio at the time.

The Highlanders had recently moved from Baltimore, where they were called the Orioles and had a winning tradition dating back to the 1890s. Called the “Yankees” by fans, the team officially changed its name to the New York Yankees in 1913, and went on to become the most dominant franchise in American sports. The Yankees have won a record 27 World Series and 40 American League pennants. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

One week later, however, police seized all copies on the order of a prosecutor, who defined the movie as "self-serving pornography", and its director Bernardo Bertolucci was put to trial for "obscenity". On January 26, 1976 the Italian Supreme Court ordered all copies to be destroyed. Bertolucci was served with a four month suspended sentence in prison and had his civil rights revoked for five years. In 1987, fifteen years after the film's release, a new ruling allowed the film to be released in Italy.

Salt Lake City was originally founded in 1847 by a group of Mormon pioneers. (Mormons are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.) The pioneers, led by Brigham Young, were the first non-Indians to settle permanently in the Salt Lake Valley. The Mormons came to the valley in search of a region where they could practice their religion, free from persecution. When Brigham Young first saw the valley he said, "This is the right place." The world headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is located in Salt Lake City.

Introduced by the RIAA as a way “to create a standard by which to measure sales,” the Gold Award honored records that sold 500,000 copies in the United States. The RIAA had already gifted an unofficial gold-sprayed record to Glen Miller in 1942 for his hit "Chattanooga Choo Choo."
