Fuzzy time strikes again -- are some functions on EST and others on UTC?! about expertiza

Using this time picker http://trentrichardson.com/examples/timepicker/

I think this is related to this issue. When I was trying to deploy a survey with the test database expertiza-scrubbed.sql and the current revision (cloned from the master 30 minutes ago), the time brought up in the popup time/date picker was the current date/time in EDT, but when I tried to submit the deployment it was enforcing a rule that the submitted time had to be in the future in UTC. Thus I had to advance the time I submit by at least 4 hours. The error message did not mention any timezones, so I had to guess as to what the problem was.

Hi Andy,

A move to a new version of Rails about a year ago caused many times to be
shown in UTC. That is unfortunate. It is not obvious where the offending
code is, though, and no one has had time to find and fix it.

In general, all deadlines need to be expressed in UTC.
