Warning: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier.

Biographical Information:

 

 
Photo of Ambassador Dixie Androes Dixie Androes is a physical science faculty member at NorthWest Arkansas Community College and a graduate of the University of Arkansas. Dixie served an internship with the National Optical Astronomy Observatory in Tucson, Arizona. Both here and there, her emphasis is education and public outreach. With the celebration of the International Year of Astronomy, Dixie and her students obtained 25 Galileoscopes. These telescopes are now shared in workshops and ahve become new eyes in the skies. Children and adults alike will see the solar system and begin to understand the amazing discoveries that have been made in space. Her research work in Space and Planetary Science focuses on the orbital dynamics of the Earth-Moon-Sun system and the periodicities that are recorded in ancient Earth rocks -- such as spring tide and neap tide cycles. As an avid science explorer, her work has ranged from the geology beneath her feet to the vast expanses of space far beyond the reaches of our current cosmic limitations.
