In general, Ted, if you have a question about when a well-known shower like the
Ursids will peak, or where EXACTLY their radiant is, and how FAST or SLOW they
are (ALL VERY IMPORTANT in proper shower identification!), I highly recommend
the official Web site of the International Meteor Organization:

        http://www.imodot net

or their North American Mirror under the American Meteor Society site at:

        http://www.amsmeteors.org/imo-mirror/


You should see in particular the IMO Meteor Shower Calendars 2000 and 2001:

        http://www.imodot net/calendar/cal00.html

        http://www.imodot net/calendar/cal01.html

And as Joe mentioned, EST = UTC-5, while EDT (Daylight/Summer) = UTC-4! :)

Clear skies!
