 * @class TAO_Time_Service_Clerk
 *
 * @brief TimeService Object Implementation.
 *
 * The Object implementation implements methods to retrieve
 * GLOBAL time as well as secure GLOBAL time. The times are
 * retrieved as UTOs. The object also allows creation of a TIO
 * for a given time interval.  In general, the TimeService clerk
 * manages the UTOs and the TIOs. The notion of time returned
 * here is the globally synchronized time.
