 NIST: Time and Frequency Division - Division 847
The Time and Frequency Division, part of NIST's Physics Laboratory, maintains the standard for frequency and time interval for the United States, provides official time to the United States, and carries out a broad program of research and service activities in time and frequency metrology.
NIST researchers have demonstrated a minuscule atomic clock with inner workings about the size of a grain of rice and potential applications in atomically precise timekeeping in portable, battery-powered devices for secure wireless communications, more precise navigation, and other applications.
NIST researchers are also demonstrating the potential to fabricate and assemble the physics package using the low-cost, mass-production techniques used to make semiconductor devices, which should eventually lead to a complete atomic clock about 1 cubic centimeter in size (about the size of a pencil eraser) powered by a battery.

 It’s About Time - The Network Time Protocol (NTP) | Linux Magazine
Thus, over time, the clock settings of different computers initially set to the same time will diverge, since the errors introduced by their respective hardware will be different.
This protocol provides time synchronization for all of the computers within a network; it is constructed to be both fault-tolerant and scalable to very large networks.
Each distinct server is sampled multiple times; the NTP algorithms determine the best value to use for the current time from all of this data (naturally taking into account the network latency, which is the amount of time required for the time value to be transmitted from the remote server to the local system).

 It's About Time Warner (Time Warner, Verizon Communications, Comcast, Google, Yahoo) | SmartMoney.com
Time Warner's "old" media properties — Time Inc., HBO, Warner Brothers — have suffered along with others in those media industries as the Internet has siphoned off advertising dollars and threatens to take an ever greater share.
Time Warner has also suffered from Wall Street's aversion to cable, which accounts for a quarter of Time Warner's revenues and a third of its profits.
I hope Time Warner delays any public offering of its cable assets (something dissident shareholder Carl Icahn was clamoring for) until it's confident it can realize full value.

Time is a fascinating subject, and one that offers many opportunities for learning, for those just starting out with telling time, to more advanced ideas like time zones, time telling devices and telling time by the sun and stars.
Learning to tell time is a very important concept for young students, and often quite difficult to master.

In the program, leading physicists delve into the mystery of whether time travel is possible, and if so, how one might go about building a time machine.
Listen to the late astronomer and Pulitzer Prize-winning author's insightful and delightfully droll views on everything from wormholes ("very Alice in Wonderland") to the nature of time ("one of those concepts that is profoundly resistant to a simple definition").
What you would call a time machine physicists term a "closed timelike curve." Steep yourself on the concepts and conjectures, the dialects and definitions that physicists rely on when musing about the possibility of time travel.

People who take charge of themselves and who manage their time effectively make more money, advance higher and more rapidly in their careers, have less stress and frustration, are happier, and spend more time enjoying life doing what they want to do than people who do not manage themselves and their time well.

Have students come up with and explain some popular sayings about time (time flies, no time like the present, in the nick of time, Father Time, sands of time, etc.) Discuss with the students Ben Franklin’s saying, “Time is Money.” Encourage students to comment on what this means.
The students will expand their study of “Time and Money” by becoming critical readers, practicing becoming good consumers, and deciding when time is more valuable than money.
