The Roman poet Ovid called time "the devourer of all things." Most college students can relate to that sentiment, as they try to balance work, school, family, social life, and that all too rare good night's sleep.
Time management is a subject that every college student has to face, and it can be a daunting challenge in a world where many students work, have families, or both.
Trying to find time to work, go to classes, take care of the child, and have any sort of downtime can be nearly impossible, leading to side effects such as sleep deprivation and depression.

 Russia's Electoral Time Bomb
Few would dispute that the upcoming presidential election is devoid not only of competition, but even of the intrigue that attended the previous presidential election, despite the fact that even then the outcome was effectively a foregone conclusion.
Indeed this time round, it is not so much an election as a vote of confidence in President Vladimir Putin.
The unexpected dismissal of the Kasyanov government last week, due to the timing, is evidence of a rather clumsy attempt by the Kremlin to generate some intrigue to disguise the fact that the election is essentially a referendum on Putin.

 Mass storage and long-term preservation
The two terms "mass storage" and "long-term preservation" embrace a contradiction in the current state of affairs of digital library development, representing a time bomb that threatens the long-term viability of this new type of library.

By the time the next president comes along, some analysts said, not only will there be little if any flexibility for any new initiatives, but the entire four-year term could be spent figuring out how to accommodate the long-range cost of Bush’s policies.
What it probably represents is an effort to circumvent the procedurally and politically difficult balanced budget amendment of the 90’s, which was meant to curb any new federal spending initiatives, thereby allowing for future downsizing of the government.
Now, in pursuing a starve the beast approach, as the final paragraph mentions, a ticking time bomb essentially explodes during the new incoming president’s first term.

 Can we defuse the global warming time bomb?
Climate response time is the time needed to achieve most of the climate response to an imposed forcing, including the effects of fast feedbacks.
The response time of the Earth's climate is long, at least several decades, because of the thermal inertia of the ocean and the rapid mixing of waters within the upper few hundred meters of the ocean.
Climate sensitivity and response time depend upon climate feedbacks, which are changes in the planetary energy balance induced by the climate change that can magnify or diminish climate response.

 Housing Bubble: Time Bomb in Low-Income Communities?
There are reasons for questioning the wisdom of this view in general – many low-income homebuyers find that they are unable to hold onto their home due to job loss or a change in family circumstances, and are forced to sell after a short period of time.
However, a bubble in the housing market across much of the country may make this a particularly bad time for low-income families to move into homeownership.
The most obvious explanation for the housing bubble is that stockholders used some of their gains to buy bigger homes.
