 wp-settings.php, line 36:
 {{{
 date_default_timezone_set( 'UTC' );
 }}}

 appears to be overriding the timezone selected in the dashboard and held
 in the options table.  This code:
 {{{
 <?php echo date_default_timezone_get(); ?>
 }}}
 always returns UTC no matter what is in the options table.  And when I
 comment out line 36 in wp-settings, I get the correct timezone.  This
 problem has been verified by another user on the support forum.

 I have employed a temporary fix by manually setting the timezone back to
 my option before calling a date function or class.
