In any event if you open a terminal window and type "date" (without the quotes) and hit return the system will respond with the day, date, the time and the timezone. IIRC most Unix/Linux/BSD systems have their hardware clocks set to UST and do the time zone correction to local time in software to the kernel clock. The only other thing I can think of is that your actual system clock on the motherboard, i.e., the hardware clock (if Apple has such a thing) might have somehow been set to local time. Just above that map is a little check box that says "Set time zone automatically using current location" If that box is checked AND wifi is turned on the system will automatically determine where it is and will set the proper time zone. UTC Clock for Mac allows users to display UTC time and current date in the OS X menu bar without taking up a lot of space. Then go to the Time Zone Tab on that same screen and you should now be viewing the little map of the world. System Preferences:Date & Time you should have the set date and time automatically check box checked and it should be using "Apple Americas/U.S.()" in the selection box. I would prefer the MST time was displayed. I need to do the conversion in my head every time. This time is correct since in MST it is 9:26:27 AM. What I see in the time column is 1/22/13 4:26:27 PM (UTC). I tried changing the time zone to EST and then back to MST and that did not work.
