in my own district, the colorado school of mines and the university of colorado health science center will have access to more funding to develop green energy, medical communications, and other technologies. the bill improves science technology, engineering, and math education to ensure thature nation's work force has the training and know how to maximize the investments that we make. gives our innovators the chance to compete for more resources so they can research, develop, commercialize, and eventually transform our economy. as we speak, there are scientists, inventors, and engineers in our nation who are devising the next groundbreaking advances. we cannot afford to let those ideas wither on the vine. so i urge the passage of the rule and underlying bill which will create jobs and solidify the foundation for the long-term growth and prosperity of the united states. with that i retain the balance of my time, reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from florida is recognized. mr. diaz-balart: thank you, m

back here in colorado, 3-2, bottom of the 5th coming up.of a mixed bag for luis atilano tonight rob, at times he pitches very well with men on base, but it's frustrating to see them get on base. >> rob: he's walking guys and has to overwork to get out of the winning. a -- inning. a 10 pitch at-bat to a journeyman hitter. he's up to 72 pitches and 12 outs thus far and overworking himself. he need atilano and our young guns to be getting into the 7th inning and right now, he's not being economical enough to get by the 6th inning. by that time, he's going to be out of gas and you don't want to be pitching five innings every time out. that's not going to get the job done. >> bob: jason hammel leads off for the rockies, bottom 5. the one saving grace for the bullpens in the game tonight would be the performance of the starters today. livan went six strong. nats had to finally pinch hit for him and then eight innings by ubaldo jimenez. zimmerman throws high but no problem but adam dunn. first out, bottom 5. >> rob: zim is going to cut the ball of
