We run tonight new years eve. 54. 3. 2. 1. Brief pause. Happy new year if you re still sober enough to notice your new years eve partying could encounter a Short cosmic Hiccup in the form of a leap second. Because the world is spinning slightly slower on its Axis the worlds astronomers have added an extra second to 2008 in order to keep the worlds clocks in perfect sync with the earths rotations. The Prospect of an extra second had some shoppers in Portage place this week wondering How to spend it. Many said the eyed give their loved ones an extra Long Smooch or take a bigger sip on their adult beverage. It will be an extra second to go glug glug glug and kiss my wife on the Cheek said Wayne Morrow who manages a research and development facility. Others said the leap second is too Short to be much use. I dont think it would make much difference said Pam Michelanto. Its just one second. Theress my extra second. Said Tom Lenio ism probably going to blink and miss it. What can you do with an extra second the leap second is much like a leap year said Scott Young manager of the planetarium at the Manitoba museum. Basically we need an extra second this year to put the atomic clock Back in sync said Young. You dont want to wait 1,000 years and get too far behind. This is nipping it in the Bud. If the Earth spins slightly faster at some Point its possible Well need to give the leap second Back but scientists say thatus unlikely. Theress one technicality for Winni Eggers though. The leap second is added just As the clock strikes 23 59 59 Greenwich mean time. Thatus dinnertime in Winnipeg a somewhat Anticlimactic 5 59 59 p. M., to be exact. As a new dad Young said he plans to use his extra second to get one More Wink of sleep. Others were a Little overprotective of their second when asked How the eyed spend it. Seems like you just wasted it said Mike Rab Sitch. Maryagnes. Welch free press. My. Ca Cameron. Maclean free press. My. Ca ive never heard of a leap second. Is this the first no. There have been 23 leap seconds since 1972 and last one was in 2005. Why do we need an extra second the Earth does not always rotate on its Axis at exactly the same rate. Scientists say thatus due mostly to cosmic friction tidal Waves solar wind and space dust that All slow the rotation a tiny bit every year. Whoa that sounds bad. Its not. Its natural says Scott Young of the Manitoba museums planetarium. Who decides if we need a leap second some of the worlds Best Astron mists who make up the International Earth rotation and reference systems service based in Frankfurt. Where can i see the second if youve got an atomic clock youll see it. The United states governments official time clock at wow. Time. Gov will also display the on second void. Be sure to visit the site just before 6 p. Today to catch it. The second is added just before Midnight Greenwich mean time which is just before 6 p. Here. Maryagnes. Welch free press. My. Ca every second counts especially on new years by Cameron Maclean and Mary Agnes Welch astronomers add extra one tonight second guessing Here Are the facts Brittany Anderson 22, and her husband married Young with dreams of starting a big family. But 18 months after saying i do the troubled Economy and poor housing Market have the couple continuing to hit the biological snooze Button. As the recession continues to Impact jobs incomes and personal debt the likelihood is Many canadians will struggle with similar decisions to postpone child bearing. Determining the right time to get pregnant however remains a topic of considerable debate among experts and prospective parents. Or. Norman Barwin past president of the infertility awareness association of Canada believes the Best time to give birth is Between the Ages of 25 and 30. His message to women is have your baby yesterday noting that economic and lifestyle concerns should generally take a Back seat to biology. All evidence Points to the younger the age the higher the Conception rate says Barwin. Historically prolonged economic shifts have been linked with baby booms and busts. The great depression for example saw a plunge in Canadas National Fertility rate which measures the number of children a woman will have in her lifetime from 3.3 in 1928 to what was then an All time Low of 2.7 in 1936. After the second world War it reached a record High of 3.9. The Andersons Are lagging behind their own family planning schedule thanks to an Economy that has left their Hay lakes Alta. Home which they want to sell before getting pregnant on the Market for 11 months. My husband wants a baby More than i can explain says Anderson who would like to have a family of five or six.
