Hey all,

The following has two columns. Each column has a head with a name and  
then a data cell with a time directly below it. I’m wondering how I can  
get the time to display next to the name, not below it.

- @clock.in\_groups\_of(2) do |group|  
%tr.header
  - group.each do |item|  
%th= item.name  
%tr
  - group.each do |item|  
%td  
%span.value{“offset” =\> item.zone.now.utc\_offset}  
= item.zone.now.to\_s(:us\_short\_time)

Thanks for any response.
