Projects homepage and RSS/Atom feeds do not actually show all open projects

First off - I think RFP-EZ is fantastic and hope to take advantage of it as more agencies use it.

I noticed that https://rfpez.sba.gov/projects/3 (New HHS Innovations Website) is still open but not showing on the RSS feed or project list anymore due to the following models/project.php function:

 public static function open_projects()

I'll leave it to you all to fix it but I wanted to let you know about the issue.

Thanks Mark! I can't be certain, but it seems like this might have been cause by how close the due date was when you looked (due the same day: Feb. 9). While our precision could be better, the idea of the RSS feed is to alert followers to new opportunities, so I think it serves that purpose for now.

If it looks like I've got things wrong and you continue to see problems, let us know.

Thanks for following up, Jed. I do think this is something that needs to be looked into because on February 9 with less than 24 hours to go, I could not see the HHS project from the /projects route which ultimately uses the same open_projects() helper as the RSS & Atom feeds. I could spend time to fix this but I bet you all have domain knowledge on time zones that are set in the DB, etc. and could fix it faster.

Hope this clears up my concerns and why I do think this needs to be looked into.
