There are no server lines; I don't understand how you can have a server association.
However, in this case, the server is not a valid NTP server.
org time 00000000.00000000 (Feb 07 00:28:16 CST 2036)
This should be your current time as of when you sent the poll.
rcv time d794b214.1bc65df9 (Aug 12 10:32:36 CDT 2014)
This is where you are getting the reference time from and it should be updating.
xmt time 00000000.00000000 (Feb 07 00:28:16 CST 2036)
This should be very close to the rcv time.

Although not a cause of your problem:
precision 2**-6,
is pretty poor. It is basic MSDOS precision. You should expect 2**-10 for an oldish NTP capable Unix based server, and the high teens, in the exponent, for a modern server.
