http://www.time.gov/timezone.cgi?Mountain/d/-7/java

This site has THE correct time, bar none. Time takes from two Atomic Clocks from NIST and from USNO.

Quote:
This public service is cooperatively provided by the two time agencies of the United States: a Department of Commerce agency, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and its military counterpart, the U. S. Naval Observatory (USNO). Readings from the clocks of these agencies contribute to world time, called Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The time maintained by both agencies should never differ by more than 0.000 0001 seconds from UTC (see recent comparisons).

time.nrc.ca can also be used as the NTP server for your machines, which is the National Research Council of Canada’s very own atomic clock.
