Phill,
 
Meanwhile what happens over here in Europe? Since you officially leap
at 7pm EST and UK is 5 hours advance on you - it sounds as if the UK
(as the 'owner' of the long. 0 just east of the centre of London all
associated with the high tech work on timekeeping done here over 200
years ago so as to sail the seas with better effect to found and hold
the empire.....) is the point of origin for the world leaping. Prehaps
Dave knows more detail.
 
Happy new year from the time-centre of the universe - (and of course
that is why we invented Dr. Who and the Time Lords...)
