MELISSA BLOCK, Host: John Role(ph) of Sacramento writes: daylight saving time does not add an hour of darkness to the night when it is made effective. The sun goes down and comes up the same whether or not daylight saving time is made effective.</s>F: 08 a.m., but on Sunday, it didn't rise until 7:04 a.m. A special thanks to NPR's Richard Harris from our science desk for that help.</s>MELISSA BLOCK, Host: I spoke with Andy Soule, who is competing in the Paralympic Games, and he became the first U.S. athlete ever to win a Paralympic medal in biathlon. He took bronze in the 2.4 kilometer biathlon. Andy Soule is also a veteran. He was in Afghanistan in 2005 when a roadside bomb exploded next to his Humvee. Both of his legs were amputated above the knee.</s>MELISSA BLOCK, Host: Suffering a wound in combat as a result of the enemy is not an accident. Using accident somehow implies carelessness on his part.</s>MELISSA BLOCK, Host: : And finally this from Susan Kunkle(ph) of Tacoma, Washington, in response to our review of the Dante Quartet's new recording of the string quartets by Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel. Kunkle writes this: Thank you, ATC, for providing a segment that can transport someone from something mundane, like dishwashing, to the ethereal space created by outstanding composers and musicians.</s>MELISSA BLOCK, Host: : Thanks for all of your letters.
