WASHINGTON (AP) -- Five months after President Barack Obama called on lawmakers to approve his choice to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Senate is considering the nomination.
When B. Todd Jones appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday he was just the second ATF nominee to face congressional questioning since the Senate was given authority to approve the agency's chief in 2006. Like his predecessors, Jones' nomination is likely a longshot, despite vocal support from law enforcement and the White House. The bureau hasn't had a confirmed director for six years.
The powerful gun lobby has worked aggressively and successfully behind the scenes since 2006 to convince lawmakers to not even give a previous nominee a hearing.
Four other people have led ATF on a temporary basis since 2006, and two men have been nominated for Senate approval. In 2007 President George W. Bush's nominee, Michael Sullivan, was given a hearing but his nomination was ultimately blocked.
In 2009, Obama nominated Andrew Traver. The NRA strongly opposed him, saying at the time that Traver "has been deeply aligned with gun control advocates and anti-gun activities." He never had a hearing.
The NRA has not publicly opposed or endorsed Jones.
Jones is likely to face aggressive questioning from Republicans about his decisions as the top federal prosecutor in Minnesota and the ATF's widely criticized gun-smuggling sting operation called "Fast and Furious."
In an opening statement submitted to the committee, Jones said he took over an agency "in distress" in 2011.
"There had been a lack of strong visionary leadership, and of accountability and attention to detail," Jones said in the statement. He said he had appointed 22 new special agents in charge in the agency's 25 field divisions and worked "on creating a leadership team to strengthen the bureau" on its various missions.
The White House again Monday urged the Senate to approve him.
"Todd Jones is a highly qualified nominee who has decades of experience in law enforcement and a track record of effective leadership as acting ATF director," White House spokesman Jay Carney said. "The ATF is a critical law enforcement agency that helps protect our communities from dangerous criminals, gun violence and acts of terror, yet for the past six years it has been serving without a confirmed director because Senate Republicans have blocked every nominee, regardless of their qualifications."
Jones, 55, took over the agency on an interim basis in 2011, after the Fast and Furious operation was made public. But lawmakers including the panel's senior Republican, Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, have questioned what he knew about the operation before taking over ATF.
Jones chaired an advisory committee to Attorney General Eric Holder from 2009 through 2011, when the operation was in effect. That committee doesn't have oversight over any law enforcement operations, but Grassley and others insist that Jones should answer questions about whatever he knows of the program that allowed thousands of guns to be smuggled across the border with Mexico and into the hands of some of Mexico's most violent drug cartels.
The Iowa senator and others have also pressed Jones to answer questions about decisions he made in a false claims case involving the city of St. Paul, Minn. They have accused Jones and the Justice Department of agreeing to drop the case against the city so long as the city dropped an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court in an unrelated case.
The former head of the Minneapolis FBI office, Donald Oswald, has also written a letter to Congress accusing Jones of impeding federal prosecutions of gang, drug and gun laws.
Oswald said Jones was "substantially motivated by personal political gain and not by doing what's in the best interest of the citizens he is sworn to protect."
Jones, who was appointed U.S. attorney in Minnesota in 2009, has declined to discuss Oswald's allegations and other issues surrounding his nomination. In a statement Monday he said he was looking "forward to meeting with the Judiciary Committee and answering all of their questions."
Grassley said Monday the Jones' hearing was "highly unusual, if not unprecedented," because there is an ongoing Office of Special Counsel probe of his work as U.S. attorney.
The Office of Special Counsel is an independent federal agency that investigates and prosecutes prohibited personnel practices, such as reprisal for whistle-blowing. In April the special counsel notified Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and Grassley that she was looking into an allegation that Jones retaliated against a federal prosecutor for whistle-blower-protected activities in Minnesota. The specifics of the allegation were not available.
"I take whistle-blowers' complaints very seriously, and the rest of the committee should, too, and not push a hearing on a controversial nominee with several unresolved issues and a formal complaint pending against him for a position that the president left open, without a nominee, for two years," Grassley said.
The hearing comes nearly six months after 26 people, including 20 children, were shot to death in Newtown, Conn., spurring Obama and some lawmakers to push for new gun control laws. So far, those efforts have failed. Gun control advocates, including some families of the victims from the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, are in Washington this week to again push lawmakers to support expanding background checks for gun purchases. The Senate rejected a bill to do that in April.
The National Rifle Association and other gun-rights advocates have argued that expanded background checks would lead to a national registry of guns and the federal government should focus on enforcing existing laws.
The ATF long has been criticized for perceived failures to prosecute gun crimes, including against those people who lie on federal forms when trying to buy a gun.
According to statistics provided by the ATF, the agency recommended charges be filed against more than 70,500 people from 2009 to 2012. More than 42,000 of those people were eventually convicted of firearms-related offenses.

The trial of George Zimmerman, neighborhood watchman to himself, but reckless vigilante to others, began on June 10 for his killing of Black teenager Trayvon Martin on February 26, 2012 in Sanford, Florida. In this one-on-one interview with Sister Charlene Muhammad, Mr. Martin opened up about his family's personal battle, missing Trayvon on Father's Day, and what the Justice for Trayvon Martin movement means to him.
Charlene Muhammad (LAWT): How are you and Ms. Sybrina (Fulton, Trayvon's mother) and your family doing because you've been thrust into this role, this battle and have been carrying it for some time and now the trial is on?
Tracy Martin (TM): Spiritually, we're doing fine. Mentally we're doing fine as well. But physically, it's taken a toll on us but at the same time, we just stay in the grace of God and we just be hopeful that this fight for justice is worth it all.
LAWT: Are you ready for this trial?
TM: You can't prepare yourself for a situation such as this because you never know what the outcome will be. You never know what's going to be brought out. I can say that I'm ready to take on any blows that the defense tries to hit me with and the reason I say I'm ready is because I prepared Trayvon for 17 years, so I know what type of person he was. I know what type of kid he was. So, whatever the defense has to say about him, I know that it's not true. I know there's nothing that can knock me down because I know Trayvon. True enough, they may say some things about using marijuana or he had pictures with guns or whatever but I didn't know that Trayvon. I just don't feel that will have an effect on me. Just sitting up listening to those things can have its wear and tear on you. And the only thing I can try to stand on is my faith. I'll just keep that strong hold on my faith and I will let good outweigh the bad.
LAWT: There's a renewed activism - and I don't think the people ever went away, so to speak - but what are your thoughts about the people raising their voices again, keeping watch on this trial, and mobilizing around National Hoodie Day, which they're using to fight for your son and other youth suffering the same thing?
TM: I think anytime we continue to raise awareness, not only for Trayvon, but for other young Black and Brown children, and continue to let this society know that it's not okay to kill our children and you get a slap on the wrist for it, we definitely have to stand strong and continue that fight. And just to see so many people still active in raising that awareness and keeping America conscious as to what's going on is very important because we all know that if we don't raise a voice for our children, no one else will. And as soon as we stop speaking up, they'll assume that it's okay to depreciate the value of our children's lives. So I think it's very important that we continue to raise awareness, and it's not only about Trayvon. It's definitely about our children, our future. By being thrust into this situation, you hate that it's your child. But at the end of the day, you say to yourself, maybe this was something that had to happen and maybe we were the right people to pick because we were so outspoken about his death that we were standing there from the beginning saying, 'No! You killed my son and something has to be done about this.'
So many times our children are killed and we don't speak up about it. And I was once asked, well, what if it had been an African American person that killed Trayvon. My reply was I'd be pursuing this the same way. So many times, when it's Black-on-Black crime, we really don't pursue it in that manner. If you value your child's life, you want to see your child's killer brought to justice no matter if he's Black, White, Brown, because we feel we were robbed. We feel that we were wronged so our fight from the onset was we need justice. We need equal justice.
LAWT: I can almost hear that question coming. I understand what you're saying. As this Fathers' Day occurs within a week of the trial starting, what kind of impact is that having on you? Does it matter that it's Fathers' Day or could it be any day?
TM: Any day is tough living without him. Father's Day, you know, I always looked for the lil' gift that he gave me. Whether it was the same gift every year, but I looked forward to that gift. He would go and buy me a pack of t-shirts or a pack of socks or some slacks, house shoes, whatever. But I knew that I had that gift coming from him every year and with Father's Day approaching, I know I'm not going to get that gift this year, but I still visit. I'll go visit him at the cemetery, sit down and have my talk with him. The impact of him not being around on that day is devastating but at the same time, I know he's looking down on us and looking at the fight that we're putting up for him and the voices that we're maintaining for him...Father's Day is a tough day without him.
LAWT: How are you dealing with attempts to paint your son in media in a negative light, with guns and drugs?
TM: The defense attorney wants to put in the potential jury's mind that Trayvon was this bad kid that was on heavy drugs and he was all off into guns and my thing is he was 17 years old. He had just turned 17. If he was that bad of a kid, why wasn't he ever in any trouble with the law? ... Of course he did get suspended from school but that didn't make him a bad kid. If you take a poll on high school students, I guarantee you 65-70% of the high school students have tried marijuana. The gun thing, I don't have guns in my household I can't say yeah Trayvon had a gun and I knew about it because I didn't know that Trayvon. I didn't know about Trayvon with a gun. The pictures that they released, those were the first time I saw those pictures. And I'm sure every parent in this country can't tell you what their child does when they're away from home or what their daily activities are because we're not around our kids 24 hours a day. So if your child does something while he's not around you, you can't speak on it. All we can do is be hopeful that the things we instilled in our children will outweigh temptation.
LAWT: How is the Justice for Trayvon Martin Foundation (www.justicetm.org) coming along?
TM: We're still getting it together. It takes a lot of work. You can organize a foundation but to get it up and running and to have it successful, It takes a lot of work. We just designed a new website. Our mission for the foundation is to advocate, educate, have mentoring and offer some type of scholarship for children. Our biggest thing is we're not segregating. We're saying our foundation is open to anyone. It's coming along. It's an uphill battle, uphill climb but we have faith in ourselves and the people we surround ourselves with so we think we can actually get to the next level with the foundation.
LAWT: Thank you.

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) -- Ethiopia's leader has vowed that no one will stop a $4.2 billion energy project that is diverting the flow of the Nile River after Egypt's president warned that all options were being considered to halt the dam.
In an interview aired on state television and radio, Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn said Tuesday that he did not think Egypt would start a war over the vital river.
"'All options' include a war. I don't think they will take that option unless they go mad," Hailemariam said during the interview. "I urge them to abandon such an unhelpful approach and return to dialogue and discussion."
Ethiopia started diverting the flow of the Nile River in late May to make way for its $4.2 billion hydroelectric plant, which will be Africa's largest. The project has been under construction for over two years on the Blue Nile River in Ethiopia's Benishangul-Gumuz region near the Sudan border.
Egypt fears that the project will mean a diminished share of the Nile River.
Egyptian political leaders last week told President Mohammed Morsi to consider hostile acts against Ethiopia. Apparently unaware their discussion was being televised live, the leaders recommended spreading rumors, aiding rebels and even sabotaging the dam itself in a meeting with Morsi.
During the meeting, Morsi said that Egypt will not engage in any aggressive acts against Ethiopia. However, he hardened his stance on Monday, warning that "all options are open."
Hailemariam then accused Egyptian leaders of using the dam issue to divert attention away from local issues. He said it was wrong of Egyptian politicians to use the Nile dam as "a distraction to escape the strong domestic opposition they are facing."
A 10-person Egypt-Sudan-Ethiopia experts' panel has concluded that the dam will not significantly affect water flow to both Egypt and Sudan, Hailemariam explained.
The finding of the experts' panel, which includes four international experts, was fully accepted by Sudan, Hailemariam said.
"I like to thank the government and people of Sudan for their support and determination to work for mutual benefit. Others should learn from this," he added.
In a further escalation of the conflict, the Ethiopian foreign affairs ministry in a statement issued Tuesday condemned the "belligerent rhetoric" coming from Cairo. The ministry said Ethiopia "will not even for a second" stop the construction of the dam due to Cairo's rhetoric.
Ethiopia is currently leading a group of nine countries that signed the new Cooperative Framework Agreement for the Nile. The new agreement replaces colonial-era deals that awarded Cairo veto powers over projects on the Nile.
Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda signed the agreement in 2010, and Burundi did so a year later. Sudan and Egypt have been strongly opposed to the deal.
Ethiopian parliament since April is reviewing the deal. It is expected to approve it in few days' time.

Drowning was the cause of death for Terrilynn Monette who grew up and attend high school in Long Beach, but whose missing body was discovered in Bayou St. John on Saturday June 8 in New Orleans.
Monette, who was teaching in New Orleans and the subject of bi-coastal candle light vigils, was found in the passenger seat of her car which apparently had been submerged in a Louisiana bayou since March, said city officials.
According to the Orleans Parish Coroner's Office there were no signs of trauma to her body, said John Gagliano, the coroner's chief investigator.
LSU forensic dentists confirmed Monette's identity through dental records, Gagliano said. Toxicology results are pending and the results will be ready in about two weeks, he said. New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) fatality unit will try to reconstruct the accident to determine what caused Monette's car to end up in the bayou, said NOPD spokeswoman Remi Braden. Meanwhile, officers in NOPD's 3rd District are working to enhance all the video evidence in the case.
Monette was last seen at a bar in New Orleans where she had been celebrating a teacher of the year nomination.
"It was not the outcome we had looked for, but we did find her," said State Rep. Austin Badon who had helped the family to organize the initial searches for Monette.
"It allowed the family to have some sense of relief and closure."
Monette's mother Toni Enclade told reporters in New Orleans that she was "overwhelmed" at the discovery.
"I don't understand why it took them so long to find her car," she said.
"This is supposedly one of the first places they would have checked. It doesn't make sense."
Monette arrived in Louisiana in 2011 to participate in a program that connects teachers to students in low-income areas. On the night she went missing, according to a New Orleans police report, the 26-year-old had been drinking and announced to friends that she was going to sleep in her car before heading home. Some who knew her however, said that was out of character for the young woman.
"My sister and Terrilynn are VERY CLOSE. In fact they consider themselves to be best friends," said Gaynell Diamond Robinson-Watkins via an Internet post in March.
"The two plus other educators including her former principal are always out together. That night, she chose to go out to hear her college friend who plays in a band. She did not go with her normal group of three to four but figured it was ok because he is a college friend that she looks at as a brother.
"Here's the issue, when Terri is out with her real friends she NEVER gets drunk. She's not a heavy drinker. One maybe two is always her max. She is always the one that reminds everyone that they are driving.
"Now true, we all make bad choices from time to time but none of us who know her personally believes that she would say she's going to sleep in her car. If she were to ever think that then she would not broadcast it. She lives 5 minutes away from the bar, 2 miles away.
"Believe me, she is a very nice, smart person, she's been here two years... She knows about the crime here in the city... She would never tell a stranger she was going to sleep in her car. Never. She would never get drunk knowing she was driving. NEVER… VERY RESPONSIBLE. Now if she did those things then that's because something may have been added to her drink... And I am not talking about a lemon, lime nor cherry. Bottom line is that friend said he played with his band then he left her… Friends don't leave friends especially if she appeared to be drunk…"
Law enforcement in New Orleans have not said whether or not they believe Monette was a victim of foul play.

Amateur Beau Hossler bogeyed his 12th hole in his second round at the 2012 U.S. Open, dropping a shot and falling back to 1-under for the tournament and locked in a two-way tie for the lead with Jim Furyk.
After making a solid bunker shot to within 15 feet of the hole, Hossler's par save slipped past the hole before sinking a six-foot bogey putt. Hossler would follow with a par on the third hole, his thirteenth of the day.
Meanwhile, Tiger Woods sank a putt of over 30 feet for birdie on the 10th hole to climb back to within one shot of the lead and to get back to even par for the tournament. Woods put himself in that position after a monster drive down the middle of the fairway followed by a 76-yard pitch that landed short of the green and sped across the putting surface.
Woods made par putt on No. 11 to remain at even par.

He led the state in goals (36) and points (52) this season.
"Just a tremendous player," Montville coach Colin Delaney said. "We've been fortunate to have a number of them over the years. He's explosive, he's technical, he's tenacious. Probably the greatest thing about him is that when you speak to people in the community about him, they talk more about his character than about what he does on the field."

The Denver Broncos wasted no time establishing the run against the New England Patriots. With time still left in the first quarter, Denver had 133 rushing yards. Lance Ball added a 32-yards on a breakaway touchdown run that gave Denver the lead.
Check out the video of Ball's touchdown run here.
As you can see, Ball had a massive gap to run through, not meeting any resistance until he hit the second level. That was just Ball's second carry of the game. The touchdown put the Broncos on top by a score of 13-7.
Given New England's ability to score points, the game is far from over. Besides, what would a Broncos game be without a fourth quarter comeback.
Tebow is two-for-two passing the ball with 29 yards in the air. On the ground, Tebow has carried the ball three times for 18 yards and a touchdown that opened the scoring in the game.

A CDC study found that motorcycle death rates have increased by an alarming 55 percent over a recent eight year period. But wearing a properly made motorcycle helmet could help reduce these deaths.
Helmets with the sticker label "DOT" are approved by the Department of Transportation, and have been crash tested.
"An approved helmet will significantly decrease your chance of death or serious head injury," says State Trooper Matt Harris.
Novelty helmets, that are not approved, are popular among riders who are looking for style. These helmets, however, are not as protective and are not allowed to be worn on the road in states that have helmet laws in place for riders.
"I would never consider riding or getting on the back of a motorcycle without a helmet," says Ashley Kneipp. She was thrown 20 feet off of her boyfriend's motorcycle in a crash. It was the DOT approved helmet that saved her life.

The bladeless windmill's developers believe their creation may offer a more palatable alternative to conventional wind turbine farms, which the Dutch public has rejected because of their operating noise, blade shadows, and aesthetics.
April 30, 2013—Engineers in the Netherlands at the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) have developed a 21st-century version of the country's iconic structure: the windmill.
Led by Dhiradi Djairam, an assistant professor in the electrical engineering and computer science department, the TU Delft team has created a bladeless windmill with no moving parts that uses charged water particles to generate electricity. Dubbed the EWICON (Electrostatic WInd energy CONverter), the high-tech windmill takes the form of a rectangle with rounded corners. The rectangle has a tubular steel frame and when stood upright suggests the letter O or a zero; the frame is mounted on a supporting post that is affixed to an insulated metal plate. Perforated and insulated steel tubes run horizontally from one side of the frame to the other, and the tubes are equipped with nozzles with high-voltage negative electrodes.
"The EWICON operates on the concept of moving charged particles in an electric field," Djairam explains. Water is pumped up through the post and across the electrodes and is continuously sprayed from the nozzles in the horizontal tubes. Water droplets become positively charged as they are sprayed, and the wind blows the charged droplets away from the system. The insulated metal mounting plate acts as a capacitor, and it is charged as the droplets are blown away."
So far the team has constructed working EWICON models in the lab, and last month a 2 by 4 m nonoperational prototype was erected in front of the electrical engineering and computer science department's building. The prototype's elegant design, the work of the Delft-based architecture firm Mecanoo, "portrays the synergy between design and engineering," according to Arno Ottevanger, a spokesperson for Mecanoo, who responded in writing to questions posed by Civil Engineering online. "Our goal was to show that a wind converter can be a part of modern design, without it being showy like a traditional windmill, but instead opting for a calm and collected look," Ottevanger said.
Ultimately, the EWICON's developers and designers believe that their creation will gain wide acceptance for a range of applications. "Thanks to the greatly reduced wear and tear [from having no moving parts], lower maintenance costs, and zero noise pollution or shadow casting, the EWICON can be installed in wind farms on land or sea and can also be integrated onto the roof of a tall building," Ottevanger noted. Mecanoo architects may put the concept to a test, as they have incorporated two of the converters into the roof in their proposed design for a new city hall in Rotterdam. The converters will form the zeros in the building's street address, which is 010.
Mecanoo's proposed design for Rotterdam's new city hall—with two bladeless windmills on the roof representing the zeroes in the building's address—illustrates the range of potential applications for the technology. Courtesy of Mecanoo
Another point in the EWICON's favor is the absence of moving parts, which means potentially lower construction costs than for conventional wind turbines, according to Djairam. "I see the potential for using the EWICON in applications where otherwise wind energy would not be considered," he added.
But determining the optimal applications for the EWICON is still in the future. For now, the TU Delft team has several challenges to overcome before the technology is commercially viable. The first is scaling up the mechanism to give it a significant generating capacity. "Output is proportional to the size of the frame, so to increase the output, we need to make the device bigger," Djairam explained. "Theoretically, an EWICON could be similar in size to conventional wind turbines, but we have not yet investigated the scale effects."
The system's efficiency is another challenge. Pumping the water and generating the spray require energy. At present the EWICON's efficiency is just 1 to 3 percent, compared with 50 percent for a conventional wind turbine. Djairam and his team are targeting a more modest goal of 10 to 20 percent. Even so, achieving that level may require applying a different technology to create the charged droplets or replacing the tubes with a more efficient medium.
One possibility would be to replace the steel tubes with charged copper wire. Assuming that the system could replicate nature, wetting the wire would cause a spray of charged droplets. The amount of electric charge generated would be determined by the amount of liquid present and the wind speed. Since only a conductor, a liquid feed, and a high-voltage input would be required, this model could be more scalable than the more sophisticated hollow-tube version and therefore of greater interest to potential investors.
Even after these issues are resolved, an energy distributor would have to address several connection issues. Because the system creates a high voltage with a low current, the energy would have to be scaled down to a more manageable voltage level for normal residential or industrial uses. "It also will require conversion from DC, as it is produced, to AC so that the energy can be transferred to the grid," Djairam adds.
The EWICON has attracted the attention of such Dutch electricity distribution companies as Eneco and of firms that construct wind farms. The TU Delft team is formulating proposals for the next phase of development and is investigating new funding sources. With additional research and development support, Djairam estimates that the EWICON technology is six to seven years from commercial availability.

Lynchburg, VA - The Lynchburg Police Department and the Lynchburg Fire Department held their 5th annual "Guns N' Hoses" Charity Softball game Sunday at City Stadium in Lynchburg.
Both departments came together to raise money for Special Olympics and the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
Players say there is a small rivalry between the two teams, but they are happy to come together for a good cause.
"It's a big moral boost for both sides as well as the public to show that we're a united community trying to fight these problems," said Ronnie Sitler, who was on the "Guns Team."
"It's really heartwarming to know that folks not just at the police department or fire department support what is going on, but the community at large," said Greg Wormsor, who was on the "Hoses Team."
Before Sunday's game, both teams were tied in overall wins, having both won two games. Sunday the Fire Department came out on top, so they will have bragging rights until next year.

Fabrice Muamba forced to retire on medical advice
Former Birmingham midfielder Fabrice Muamba has been forced to retire from football on medical advice.
The 24-year-old collapsed during an FA Cup at Tottenham Hotspur in March and was clinically dead for around eighty minutes. Millions of television viewers watched as the medics attempted to revive the midfielder in the middle of the pitch.
His recovery stunned doctors and fans alike. Wtihin days he was talking again, and within weeks was back at the Reebok Stadium watching Wanderers play in a crucial Premier League game.
In a statement on their website the club have confirmed that the decision has been made on the recommendation of his medical team, and following extensive consultations with leading cardiologists both in the UK and Europe.

Family flee through bedroom window to escape fire threat
9:43am Wednesday 5th February 2014 in News By Chris Tate, Aire/Worth Valley Reporter
Parents bundled their young child out of a back bedroom window to escape a car fire which threatened to engulf their home last night.
Odsal firecrew attended the 11.23pm blaze at Pearson Row, Wyke where heat from a burning Ford Fiesta had cracked the windows of a house and melted its plastic guttering.
The family had made their own way from the endangered building and gone to the safety of neighbours.
The fire was quickly extinguished and the property made safe

Playoff Hunt
Myrtle Beach -The Pelicans won their game, but so did Kinston, meaning Myrtle Beach is eliminated from the playoffs.
Gwinnett 7, Durham 6
Dan Nelson had a great AAA debut, knocking out a three run homer. That's 2 great nights in a row for him, as he walked reached base all 6 times he came up for Mississippi last night, walking 5 times. Matt Young seemed like a prime candidate to be selected in the Rule 5 Draft last offseason, and after the year he's put up in AAA I'd find it hard to believe that a team couldn't use him on their bench next year. If the Braves don't protect him on the 40 man roster in the offseason, and it seems likely that they won't, there's a very good chance he's in the Majors with another team in 2011. The wild version of Todd Redmond showed up tonight, and while he's seemed more inconsistent this season than last year, he's actually had a considerably better year and he's another guy who seems like he could find a place in the Majors with a different team next year. As infrequently as Cristhian Martinez has been used this year, he's thrown 72.1 innings between AAA and the Majors this year compared to 130.1 between AA and the Majors last year, he's had a great season, with a combined 3.11 ERA and 1.00 WHIP. He's been masterful at keeping the walks down, with a 1.4 BB/9 rate in AAA and an outstanding 0.4 BB/9 rate in the Majors.
Mississippi 2, West Tennessee 4
Myke Jones homered for the second night. The athletic shortstop has had a fine season, playing for Rome, Myrtle Beach, and now Mississippi, he's combined to hit .264 with a .748 OPS, rapping out 31 doubles, 15 homers, driving in 61 runs, and stealing 21 bases. The only real knock on his season is that he's made 43 errors in 121 games, a huge number, but a lot of the errors come from being athletic enough to get to balls that other shortstops simply can't reach. Really, he profiles best as a second baseman, a move that would immediately help his defense, and he could turn out to be an Orlando Hudson type Major Leaguer. Cole Miles made his AA debut, hitting a triple. Jake Thompson continues to impress here at the end of the season. He hasn't allowed a walk in his last 2 starts, covering 13 innings.
Myrtle Beach 5, Wilmington 4
Braeden Schlehuber hit a 2 run homer in the 7th, breaking his 0-21 slump, and Cody Johnson followed with his own 2 run homer in the 8th to lead the Pelicans to victory. Chris Curley made his Pelicans debut and rapped out 2 hits, including a double, and walked. the 23 year old non drafted free agent has played for Danville, Rome, and Myrtle Beach this year, combining to hit .221 with a .604 OPS in 217 at bats while playing all around the infield. Zeke Spruill rebounded from a rough stretch to put up a quality start tonight.
Rome 0, West Virginia 3
The R-Braves collected just 3 hits tonight, one of them being Joey Terdoslavich's triple. Dan Jurik only allowed 1 earned run over 5 innings and he's put up a 3.15 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP in 68.2 innings between the GCL, Danville, and Rome. After posting a 4.31 ERA and a 1.79 WHIP in 39.2 innings for Myrtle Beach, David Francis was demoted to Rome and instead of puting he went to work, putting up good numbers in relief, a 2.60 eRA and a 1.08 WHIP in 27.2 innings for Rome.

Sandia National Laboratories Powers One of World's Fastest, Most Energy Efficient Supercomputers with Oracle's Sun Servers
Sun Blade Servers Provide Foundation for Sandia Supercomputer; Organization Achieves Tenfold Increase in Computational Capacity, Reduces Energy Consumption and Cost by 77 Percent
News Facts
Sandia National Laboratories is using Oracle's Sun Blade Servers to power Red Sky / Red Mesa, one of the world's fastest and most energy efficient supercomputers.
Sandia National Laboratories is a multi-program laboratory operated by Sandia Corporation for the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration.
After a competitive review of hardware providers, Sandia National Laboratories selected Oracle's Sun servers, including Sun Blade Modular Systems with the Sun Cooling Door System and Oracle's network fabric, as the foundation for the Red Sky / Red Mesa supercomputer due to the hardware's extreme performance capabilities and energy-efficiency features to scale mission-critical applications in the production environment.
Using Sun blade servers, Sun storage and Infiniband networking technologies in its supercomputer datacenter architecture, Sandia has been able to significantly decrease power, energy usage and costs, while dramatically increasing its computational capacity.
Using the Oracle developed Lustre file system running on Sun storage servers and Sun disk arrays, Sandia increased their storage capacity and IO performance using an Infiniband connected file system with over 6PB in capacity that delivers more than 20GB/Sec in throughput.
Sandia National Laboratories recently received Oracle's 2010 Enable the Eco-Enterprise Award for using Oracle technologies to lower energy use, resources and costs.
Increase in Computational Power, Reduction in Energy Usage and Costs
Sandia National Laboratories' Red Sky / Red Mesa system provides the computing power for a variety of complex computational projects.
Sandia National Laboratories used the system as the foundation for building kinetic models of advanced fuel chemistry, including biofuels, to provide other researchers with a platform to study, evaluate and predict how the fuels will burn in an engine.
Sandia National Laboratories also used the Red Sky / Red Mesa system to create complex molecular dynamics modeling and simulation for cellulose decrystallization involving billions of interactions at the atomic level achievable in just four to six weeks — a process that took up to six months with their previous system from a competitor.
With the Sun technology, Sandia National Laboratories has:
Gained a tenfold increase in computational capacity
Reduced energy consumption and cost by 77 percent with Red Sky
Achieved a peak performance of more than 500 trillion mathematical operations per second
Removed 90 percent of the heat load on servers using the Sun Cooling Door energy-efficient cooling systems
Saved 5 million gallons of water per year

Hazardous materials crews from Scottsdale and Phoenix cleared a Scottsdale meat storage plant of carbon monoxide after several workers complained of headaches Friday morning.
One worker drove himself to a hospital while three others were taken to hospitals as a precautionary measure, said Jay Ducote of the Scottsdale Fire Department.
In all, nine workers complained of headaches about 7 a.m. when the call was received and nearby businesses were evacuated, Ducote said.
Hazmat crews found high readings of carbon monoxide in the plant warehouse at 7862 E. Gray Rd., in the area of Hayden and Thunderbird roads.
Crews ventilated the area until the CO level returned to normal, Ducote said.
The problem was caused by a propane-powered forklift that was taken out for inspection, Ducote said.
Owners were eventually allowed back into their businesses, he said.
