Seek 60-second Recorded Original Compositions
By Peter Neilson

> Deadline for 60 second compositions for 60x60 is December 31, 2010.
> ...
> All submissions must be uploaded by 12:00 a.m., December 31st, 2010.

Depending upon the interpretation, 12:00 a.m. can mean either noon
or midnight.  There are separate "standards" that specify both of
the mutually contradictory interpretations.  Other standards more
rationally suggest avoiding the terms 12:00 AM and 12:00 PM and using
noon and midnight instead.  If it is to be midnight, the next question
is whether it's the one at the beginning or at the end of 31 December.

The final ambiguity is the time zone.  There are many of them, indeed
more than 24.  Is it supposed to be EST (UTC -5) or something else?

 [ The deadline could be stated as "before the New Year in New York
 [ City."  Keep your eye on the ball in Times Square as it drops!
