  Time - MSN Encarta
The concept that time is a fourth dimension—on a par with the three dimensions of space: length, width, and depth—is one of the foundations of modern physics.
Universal time is simply the mean solar time measured at the Greenwich meridian, which is designated 0° longitude and from which the longitude of all points on the surface of Earth are measured.
Because the basis of mean solar time relates to the motion of a hypothetical sun, scientists established a base position from which the mean time is calculated.

LMT (Local Mean Time) is mean solar time reckoned from mean noon on a local meridian time based on the motion of the Sun were it to move uniformly along the celestial equator at a constant rate of motion.
GMT Greenwich Mean Time is mean solar time reckoned from mean noon on the meridian of Greenwich.
The transition from Sun Time to Mean Time occurred in Geneva in 1780; England, 1792; Berlin, 1810; and Paris, 1816.

 Washington mean time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Washington mean time was the time at the meridian through the center of the old dome atop the main building at the old US Naval Observatory at Washington, D.C. This Washington meridian was defined on 28 September 1850 by the United States Congress (9 Stat.
It was never used as the basis of any time zone, although it was the local mean time of the city of Washington before the advent of American time zones on 18 November 1883.
The difference between Washington mean time and Greenwich Mean Time was determined to be 5 hours 8 minutes 12.04 seconds in 1884 by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey.

 Universal Time -- from Eric Weisstein's World of Astronomy
Universal time (UT) is simply the number of hours, minutes, and seconds which have elapsed since midnight (when the Sun is at a longitude of 180°) in the Greenwich time zone.
The actual universal time (denoted UT or UT1) is tied to the rotation of the Earth.
UT is always kept within 0.9 seconds of coordinated universal time (what WWV and other time broadcast services provide) by the insertion or deletion of leap seconds, usually at 23:59:59 UTC on either June 30 or December 31.

 Time Zones and "Z" Time   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
GMT time is also referred to as "Z" or, phonetically, "Zulu" time, for the letter identifying that time zone centered on the Greenwich Prime Meridian (See the time zone labels along the top of the accompanying World Map of Time Zones).
Civil time zones were initially instituted in the U.S. and Canada in the 1880's by the railroads to standardize time keeping.
Time in the Z or UTC system is reckoned from the local standard time observed along the Greenwich Meridian.

Washington, DC Respected guests from Washington D.C. and abroad, dear staff of The Washington Times, eminent world literary leaders, ladies and gentlemen.
The efforts of The Times to revitalize the moral and spiritual values of the United States and the world are being recognized as absolutely urgent and necessary at this time.
This is a Washington Times political cartoon from that time entitled "Space Shield." As you well know, one of the critical factors behind the collapse of the USSR was its sheer inability to compete with the United States in this area of cutting-edge technology.

 Talk:Greenwich Mean Time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Universal Time was invented as another name for GMT in 1928.
"Mean" indicates that the equation of time has been applied to the solar time at the Greenwich meridian.
In the military, GMT is often referred to as "Zulu" time, ie 2000 Zulu would be 8:00pm in Greenwich.

 Standard Time around the World
Standard time was fixed in 1883 to prevent the myriad of short time differences that would result if every locality determined the mean solar time by different meridians, depending on the longitude of the particular place.
Alaska Standard Time is determined by the meridian at 135° west of Greenwich and Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time is set at the 150° meridian.
The time in each zone is one hour earlier than in the zone to its east and one hour later than in the zone to its west.

 Time
Time is like a river made up of the events which happen, and its current is strong; no sooner does anything appear than it is swept away, and another comes in its place, and will be swept away too.
Time in the former sense, as used in physics, is measured with a stopwatch or an interval timer, while time in the latter sense is determined with a wristwatch or clock.
When the quantity called time appears in a physical equation, it is always referring to the measure of the interval between two events.

 Consumer complaints about Washington Mutual   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
When I contacted Washington Mutual again to find out what happened, Supervisor Jose informed me that, because they have no official record that the first CSR I spoke with informed me to use the late check as my next rent check, there was nothing they could do and that I was simply out of options.
My youngest son had committed suicide during the time all of this had happened and I was very depressed and had even been in tears during one phone conversation, but no one with the bank ever called back or responded to the more than 20 calls, faxes and letters that were sent.
I have spoken to many Washington Mutual employee since then and have learn that the reason a hold was put on the check was basically because I had never deposit that much at one time.

 What does "tsunami" mean?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
Tsunami is a Japanese word with the English translation, "harbor wave." Represented by two characters, the top character, "tsu," means harbor, while the bottom character, "nami," means "wave." In the past, tsunamis were sometimes referred to as "tidal waves" by the general public, and as "seismic sea waves" by the scientific community.
The term "tidal wave" is a misnomer; although a tsunami's impact upon a coastline is dependent upon the tidal level at the time a tsunami strikes, tsunamis are unrelated to the tides.
Tides result from the imbalanced, extraterrestrial, gravitational influences of the moon, sun, and planets.

To build and manage these types of systems, application developers and test engineers must be able to monitor and visualize the systems' real-time behavior.
The principal contributions of this paper are: 1) applying the DOVE framework to a simulated sensor-driven application, 2) extending the DOVE framework to support new application requirements, and 3) demonstrating and visualizing quality of service (QoS) control for multiple event streams within a real-time CORBA Event Service.
Ideally, these applications can be developed using standard middleware components like CORBA to improve their quality and reduce their cost and cycle time.
