The Short Timers, David L. Erben The Short Timers interrogates western notions of history, and in particular the notion of history as fixed and stable. The Short Timers was first published in 1979 and is the work upon which the late Gustav Hasford's popular fame rests. Another way that The Short Timers undermines fixed notions of history is through repetition, but repetition with a difference. lists.village.virginia.edu /sixties/HTML_docs/Texts/Reviews/Erben_Shorttimers.html   (787 words)

A "Short Timer" in Vietnam was close to DEROS and going back to the States Various types of Short Timer calendars were used by artillerymen in Vietnam to count their remaining days left in country. A standard Short Timer Letter was sent back to "the world" when a GI was getting close to going home. Notice that all the "color-in" blocks have been filled in, and it appears this particular short timer calendar covered his entire 12-month tour in Vietnam. www.landscaper.net /short.htm   (705 words)

Forum - Crafting skill timers I much prefer the idea of short, "invisible" timers to that of endless timers that force a player in place for hours, or worse, allow them to walk around and carry on other activities while their house is automatically built for them. I don't think short term tasks could be completed at the same time, ie sowing (dresses, not planting) and mixing, but a character should be able to sow, and drop the dress to mix the cake, then return the dress. I think that long timers are acceptable, depending on the task, ie if a character wanted to chop down a tree and turn it into kindling, that should take a helluva lotta time, and the character should not be allowed to run around doing things. www.adellion.com /forum/showthread.php?p=9857   (2092 words)

Timers in Linux Linux Gazette Timers are critical to both application level programs as well as device drivers and other lower level system programs. Most of the platforms supports some architecture specific timer mechanisms which help developers to have very short timer intervals. The timer is characterized by its value after which it should expire; its tag for identification (name, process to which it belongs and other data) and the function called (handler) which is invoked when the timer expires. www.linuxgazette.com /node/view/8993   (1104 words)

Title page for ETD etd-0804103-170835 Timers issue short-term (long-term) debt when they expect increases (decreases) in credit quality. Timers are assumed to choose different maturity from the predictions of the debt maturity function to follow a complex strategy. I examine differences in firm value across non-timers and timers, where timers are defined as firms that follow either a naïve strategy of choosing long-term debt when the term premium is low or a complex strategy from Baker et al. etd.lsu.edu /docs/available/etd-0804103-170835   (379 words)

State's Profligate Short-Timers Whatever the answer, it is clear that public officials with short time horizons and empowered to spend other people's money are dangerous creatures. The system does have its amusing side, as we observe former state officials — including governors — running for lower-level jobs. With the gerrymandering of legislative districts, voters no longer choose their representatives; instead, representatives choose their voters. www.pacificresearch.org /press/opd/2003/opd_03-06-09bz.html   (735 words)

.: Print Version :. "I'm so short I can't even pay attention." "I'm so short that I can stand and smoke under a paint locker and still be 50 feet away." It was almost unbearable, but soon other new guys arrived, and we were on our way to becoming Vietnam veterans and short-timers ourselves. There we became new guys and were subjected to a barrage of teasing by the "short-timers" who were approaching their DEROS (Date Eligible Return from Overseas) and perhaps even ETS (Expiration Term of Service). Arriving alone with no old buddies, we had to work our way into the unit and gain the trust and confidence of not only our new leaders but our fellow soldiers as well. www.itemonline.com /articles/2004/10/27/news/local/news7.prt   (825 words)

Amazon.com: The Short-Timers: Books: Gustav Hasford And Gustav Hasford's "The Short Timers" (the basis for Stanley Kubrick's movie "Full Metal Jacket") is much more than a deeply personal portrait a soldier's life in Vietnam: it's the successful effort to give us a prose adequate at describing the world of battle and fear - "like you've really seen beyond". Written over a period of seven years (Hasford started collecting notes while he still was a Marine in Vietnam, as combat correspondent for the First Division), "The Short Timers" is divided into three chapters. Hasford seems to tell us: reality may look like a motion picture ("Short Timers" includes dozen of references to Hollywood) but there's people that, sometimes, get TRAPPED IN THE MOVIE. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0553279459?v=glance   (2007 words)

USNews.com: Greenspan raises rates again, despite Katrina's impact (10/3/05) But it's clear from the Fed's brief statement that it's betting any damaging economic fallout from Katrina will be short term rather than a "persistent threat" to an economy still supported by "robust" productivity growth. Economist Ed Yardeni, chief investment strategist at Oak Associates, tells clients the Fed would prefer to boost short rates as high as possible--perhaps up to 5 percent--without sending the economy veering toward recession. Plenty of Fed watchers are predicting they'll rise at least another quarter to half percentage point. www.usnews.com /usnews/biztech/articles/051003/3fed.htm   (541 words)

Setting Kernel Speeds This is useful for debugging implementations of protocols with very short timers. By dilating all the timers uniformly (simply by slowing down the CASiNO kernel) the programmer can work normally in standard debuggers without having to ``race the system clock''. If the speed of the CASiNO kernel is set to HALF_SPEED then 10 second timers will expire in 20 wall-clock seconds, 30 second timers will expire in 60 wall clock seconds, etc. AT HALF_SPEED, the CASiNO kernel dilates its time relative to true external time by a factor of 2. www.cmf.nrl.navy.mil /ccs/project/public/casino/node103.html   (258 words)
