Sounds good in theory, but in practice 2010 was inconsistent.  According 
to our data, most transitions were Thursday at 24:00 but one was Tuesday 
at 24:00.  So, Thursday at 24:00 is a plausible guess but it's by no 
means a lock.  Plus, our data say that in 2009 the rules were different 
yet: the spring-forward transition was Friday at 01:00.  So it's 
plausible that this year the day-of-week or time will be different from 
2010.

More searching, by the way, has found one nonauthoritative 
English-language source asserting without support that the fallback date 
will be 2014-09-04 (I guessed 2014-09-25 24:00) and that the Ramadan 
break dates will be announced later but will be around 2014-06-29 - 
2014-07-29 (we guessed 2014-06-29 01:00 - 2014-07-29 00:00).
