Argh; I didn't fix enough places.
The original timeline had the announcement on Aug 13, with nominations
closing at 23:59 EDT _today_.  When I failed to make the announcement
until Aug 14, I intended to change the closing time to 23:59 EDT
_tomorrow_; that is, at the end of Aug 28.  Unfortunately, the text of
the announcement was a bit garbled.

So, to clarify...

Nominations will be open until 23:59 EDT on Tuesday, 28-Aug-2012, which
is 03:59 UTC on Wednesday, 29-Aug-2012.
