I read Tom's comment as tongue in cheek.  (I admit I had to google for JILA.  
I do have friends who live withing walking/biking distance of NIST in 
Boulder.)

A quick google finds that NIST has 3 Nobel prizes.  (all in physics)
  http://www.nist.gov/pml/news/index.cfm

In my opinion, that's way above any threshold for serious good work.  (I 
wonder how many of their important papers I could understand?)

Has anybody read the Phys Rev paper that started this discussion?  (The one 
behind the paywall.)  Can you translate it to something us mortals can 
understand?

Maybe we should lobby for a prize in timekeeping.  :)
