For math they are researching... do higher paid teams actually have better records," said Schaller. "I have all the papers hanging around the room of the World Series run in 2009, playoffs of 2010 and the entire run this year.

We end our day reading a book about Hank Greenberg and Jackie Robinson and the challenges they overcame based on their backgrounds, but how baseball brought them together."Student Alexa Voorhees walked us through one of the assignments where students have to give a report on what they have learned."This is my script where I’m going to be reading on this camera, and this is the paper where it has all the numbers of percentages," said Voorhees.

(Credit: Oklahoma Department of Corrections, File) OKLAHOMA CITY - An Oklahoma appeals court on Thursday upheld the murder conviction of death row inmate Richard Glossip, paving the way for Glossip to be executed on May 18, despite the state attorney general’s concerns about some testimony and evidence.Glossip can still plead his case for clemency to the five-member Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board, which could recommend that the governor spare the prisoner’s life by commuting his sentence to life in prison without parole.Glossip has been scheduled for execution before and three separate times came within hours of being put to death.The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals' ruling said his case "has been thoroughly investigated and reviewed," with Glossip given "unprecedented access" to prosecutors' files."Yet he has not provided this court with sufficient information that would convince this court to overturn the jury's determination that he is guilty of first-degree murder and should be sentenced to death," according to the ruling written by Judge David Lewis.Glossip's attorney, Don Knight, said he will continue to seek a new trial."It is unconscionable for the court to attempt to force the State to move forward with his execution," Knight said.
