Stem adjustment & what are these handlebars?

Hey folks! I saw this picture - perhaps posted here?

If I've annexed this pic from someone here, please forgive me and step up to take credit for the awesome handlebar setup.



I'm trying to figure out what the heck these bars are. I've seen butterfly bars - are these pretty typical?

I understand th little horns are just bar-ends clamped up there. Can anyone see the use in having those there? (one extra hand position - sorta like aero bars...?)

I've got a straight bar I'd like to substitute with something that'll give me more hand positions. Wait...did that sound kinky?

While I'm at it - I have a stem I don't know how to adjust.

It has two bolts running sideways. I gather it's called "direct connect"?

All loosening the bolts does is let me rotate the bars in relation to the wheel. How do I raise the thing? (or maybe I'm FUBAR and need a new stem if I want more height...?)

Thanks folks! :)
