Again forwarded from comp.protocols.time.ntp. Since the article does not report just when the mayor turned the watch back, I'll forego making a Hawaii-style change to the southamerica file. --ado

Ah, the time crisis in Brazil has passed (this also from REUTER).

AM-BRAZIL-TIME 1STLD RIO MAYOR RELUCTANTLY GIVES UP EXTRA HOUR OF DAYLIGHT

(Eds: updates) RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, Reuter - The mayor of Rio has reluctantly agreed to set the city's clocks back one hour, ending his defiance of a federal regulation to end summer daylight saving time. Mayor Cesar Maia turned his own watch back one hour Monday after meeting Brazilian President Itamar Franco. ``Now the Rio mayor and the president's watches are set for the same time,'' Maia said. He had ordered city workers to continue on the summer schedule until Feb. 28, saying Rio's tourist industry needed the extra hour of daylight. But Rio banks, businesses, airports, bus stations, stock market and major companies operated by the federal government's time -- three hours behind Greenwich Mean Time-- causing great confusion.
