As a physicist in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Time and Frequency Division, I have worked in the general area of operating atomic clocks and using output signals from them to distribute time and frequency information for more than 40 years. I am also a Fellow at JILA, an institute operated jointly by NIST and the University of Colorado Boulder, and I teach in the physics department of the university.
I came to Boulder in 1967 as a post-doc at JILA. I joined NIST when it was still the National Bureau of Standards in 1969, and I was initially a physicist in the Radio Standards Physics Division. This division was engaged in several research projects that used lasers whose wavelengths were stabilized by adjusting them to match the wavelengths naturally absorbed by an atom or molecule.
Study dispels lazy stoner myth: Pot users don t exercise any less

Instead, people who use marijuana may exercise just as much as other people do, and perhaps even a little more, researchers report.

Considering how important regular exercise is to one s overall health, the finding could dissipate some of the health concerns surrounding the drug, the study authors said.
For the study, researchers from the University of Miami s Herbert Business School and the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C., analyzed data from a national health survey that has followed over 20,000 people, starting in their teenage years, from 1994 through 2018.

The index went up 16.5 points going into the second quarter to 64.4 points, up from 47.9 points in the first quarter.
The increase in confidence is largely due to the pace of vaccinations and the expectations about easing economic restrictions, the index said.
Colorado mass shootings have formed today s police response to them: Officers don t wait By Elise Schmelzer
Amid the eulogies and ceremonies, the presiding priest at Boulder police Officer Eric Talley s funeral for a moment directed his comments directly at the hundreds of officers who gathered in the Lafayette church to mourn the officer killed while responding to a report of an active shooter. This service would have been for any one of you if you had been first on the scene, Rev. Daniel Nolan said at the funeral. That is a risk every day you put on your badges.
When Talley and two other officers charged into the Boulder King Soopers, they were following modern police strategy on responding to reports of an active shooter. They pulled up to the store, grabbed equipment from their cars and, about a minute after arriving, ran into the building to immediately confront the suspect. They didn t pause to wait for back up or a more heavily-armed SWAT team. They w
