I was just recording a demonstration for end users on how to edit their pages. When I got to the "Save" step, I changed the "Published On" date and time to reflect that exact date and time.
However, after saving, I see three different times displayed as follows:

The first one I adjusted to the clock on my computer.
The second one is over an hour and a half later.
The third one is over 3 and a half hours later.
On the General Settings page, the UTC offset for this blog is set to -4 (which should correspond to Central Daylight Time with the manual Daylight Savings Time adjustment). With that setting, as of right this second as I write this, I get:
UTC time is 2009-05-19 20:48:29
UTC -4 is 2009-05-19 16:48:29
But the server time at the command prompt is
-bash-3.00$ date
Tue May 19 21:06:41 UTC 2009
How do I reconcile all these time differences? What am I not understanding?
Thanks.
