OK, I think I get it... according the link that borgfree posted (thank you borgfree!) and also this Nasa site: http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/phase/phasecat.html
The NEW MOON started on March 14. Jews start the month with the new moon. March is Nisan. So, this year March 14th is the first day of the month (and 1st of the year for that matter). Which means that March 14th is Nisan 1, now count 13 more days and you get to March 27 as being Nisan 14th. My husband saw that as clear as a bell but now he's asking on what side of the world is that? rrrrr....
