(Photo Credit: Dale Rutemeyer/GoMocs.com): Casey Jones made all seven shot attempts tonight scoring 14 points as five Mocs reached double digits.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.---Junior guard Ronrico White scored a career-high 28 points to lead the Chattanooga Mocs to a 90-81 win over Samford in McKenzie Arena. Chattanooga led wire-to-wire and now sits atop the Southern Conference standings at 3-0, 9-8 overall.
White was fantastic all night. He was a perfect 12-12 from the free throw line while hitting six-of-10 from the field including four-of-six from beyond the arc. The Knoxville native added four assists tying his season high turned in Monday night at The Citadel.
"I thought it was a tale of two halves," Head Coach Will Wade said. "We played really well in the first half. We played our style of play and got turnovers, but we were not as aggressive the second and held on for dear life. They changed their lineup. They got bigger and held us off the offensive glass but give our guys credit."
Four others tallied double digits for the Mocs. Z. Mason (Nashville, Tenn.) extended his double-double streak to six games with 16 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks. Casey Jones (New Orleans, La.) added 14 points hitting all seven shot attempts, while Martynas Bareika (Kedainiai, Lithuania) and Gee McGhee (Baton Rouge, La.) chipped in 12 and 11, respectively.
Samford, which falls to 6-12 and 0-3 in the league, also had five scorers reach double figures. Tim Williams, Tyler Hood and Isaiah Williams each scored 15 pints. Connor Miller had 12, and Jordan Capps added 10 points and team-high eight rebounds.
Jones got the Mocs started in a big way. He scored 12 of his 14 in the first 10-plus minutes of the contest on an assortment of dunks and jumpers. The 12th point was on a jumper at 9:39 staking Chattanooga to a 24-14 advantage.
Capps scored a layup at 5:17 to get the Bulldogs with eight, 32-24. The Mocs answered with a 14-3 run to take its largest lead, 46-27, on a Mason free throw after back-to-back Bareika treys. It was a 48-33 margin at the break.
There was an ebb and flow the rest of the way. Samford closed within 10 or 11 points, and then Chattanooga got it back to 15. A Miller three-pointer at 7:36 finally got the Bulldogs inside single digits, 71-62. But the Mocs would not let it slip away.
Samford continued to chip away at the lead making it an eight-point game, 77-69, on Tim Williams' layup at 2:40. Mason came up big with a monster tip dunk at 2:27 and then two free throws at 1:53 to keep it a 10-point game.
The Bulldogs got as close as five, 86-81, on an Isaiah Williams three-pointer with 18 seconds left, but could get no closer. White (6-6) and McGhee (2-2) hit all eight free throws in the final 35 seconds to keep the visitors at by.
The Mocs have now won five in a row, a first since a six-game win streak in 2009-10. The squad is 3-0 in the SoCon for the first time since a 7-0 start in 2010-11. That's good for a half-game lead in the league standings over Western Carolina and Davidson at 2-0.
It was a tale of two halves for the home team. Chattanooga shot 51.5 percent (17-33) in the opening frame, but just 38.1 percent (8-21) in the second 20. It hit a season-best 47.4 percent (9-19) from three-point range and went 31 of 41 from the charity stripe (75.6%).
"It's always a boost when we shoot it well," Wade added. "We took good ones…we took inside-out ones, we touched the paint and we took 10 toes to the rim. We got the defense to collapse so we could kick it out and take good threes.
"We got a good win, but now we need to flip the page and prepare for Wofford on Saturday."
The Mocs return to the Roundhouse Saturday to host Wofford. Game time is set for 7 p.m. The game can be listened to live on ESPN 105.1 FM the Zone in the Scenic City, or go to the men's basketball schedule page on GoMocs.com for links to video (PPV), audio (free) and live stats.

Verizon iPhone to launch between mid January, early February 2011 [Rumor]
BusinessWeek is joining the Verizon iPhone game with a rumor that the near-mythical device will launch sometime after CES and before Valentine's Day -- in other words between mid January and early February 2011. Attributed to "a person familiar with Apple's plans" (boy he gets around!), BW says:
Apple (AAPL) will likely host one of its splashy product introductions to announce a new version of the iPhone that works on Verizon's (VZ) network. Customers are expected to stampede to the new pairing, leaving AT&T (T), until now the exclusive U.S. distributor of the iPhone, with an enormous problem.
Or just leave AT&T with less network congestion and a happier remaining customer base? While AT&T will no doubt lose some customers to Verizon, and other manufacturers will lose users to the iPhone on Verizon, BW also points out that at least both of them will be in the game, unlike Sprint and T-Mobile US.
Is Verizon enough carrier choice for you, or do you think Apple should do in the US what it does pretty much everywhere else now -- offer iPhone on all major carriers?

Verizon iPhone to launch between mid January, early February 2011 [Rumor]
The only time I ever have problems with the ATT network is in western pennsylvania. It seems to be a Verizon dominated area.
Do you all own stock in AT&T or something? Why so defensive about it?
Is this an AT&T blog or an iPhone blog?
iPhones being available to more domestic carriers would only be a good thing. Then let the cards fall where they fall, and networks can be compared more objectively - and the better network (whichever it is) will gain more customers, and customers will have more choice.
CDMA? Thanks, but no thanks.
it is my understanding that all verizon employees who had vacation time scheduled for january and february 2011 have had their time off denied or revoked. Verizon is getting ready for something big. And my 2 cents about att, theyre network is horrible but the iphone is awsome. Verizon has ok phones, but nothing to me compairs to the iphone and i look forward to verizon getting it.
AT&T is fine in most areas, but it is lacking in San Francisco, which is where most tech blogs are based. That's why they get blasted online so much. In Southern California, AT&T is great, and my Verizon blackberry gets terrible coverage.
In other countries there are 3 or 4 GSM options, but unfortunately in the US we only have two options. So people like me that want a iphone alternative to AT&T are basically waiting for a TMobile option.
So we definitely need more than just a Verizon iphone in 2011. CDMA carriers cannot offer GSM features business travelers need, such as simultaneous voice/data and the ability to have your local phone # work in any country.
Sprint finally got the ability to do simultaneous voice/data when WiMax was launched, but since it only works when you have a 4G signal, the footprint is limited. Only AT&T and Tmobile (ie, GSM carriers) have a big enough footprint for simultaneous voice and data right now.
It's also a pain when traveling internationally. I have to buy a SIM card with a new # and email it to all my customers and friends so they can reach me in Europe or Asia, and they have to pay international rates to call me. That's bad for business. On AT&T or TMobile, my local phone # works everywhere in the world, so they can call me anytime. (although I do pay roaming rates, but it's worth it for my customers to be able to easily reach me)
Until Verizon fixes this (LTE?) a iphone on their network is useless to many business travelers. So we're forced to stay on AT&T and hope that either TMobile gets the iphone soon, or AT&T beefs up the network near where we work and live, or that Android, Web OS, or WP7 polish up their OS's enough to make them as attractive as iOS so we can have more choices on GSM carriers.
I am still on contract with AT&T with my 3GS, so I plan on keeping it until March 2012 when my contract is up, then look at options. I do HATE the AT&T coverage in the DC area, it's really bad. I do like the benefits of GSM over CDMA, such as world roaming and simultaneous data and voice (use quite often).
Yes, I'd like to see Apple do what they've done in many other countries. Open it up to many carriers. For me, T-Mobile U.S. please!
@ Shane - You're probably right that AT&T is generally better in Southern California than in Northern California, but I live in Los Angeles and have no AT&T service where I live. That's why I (and all my iPhone-carrying neighbors) are on T-Mobile. (And, we can trace it specifically back to when AT&T Wireless divested themselves of an old Cingular cell tower. Literally 4-5 bars down to 0-1 bars.)
I think someone will get the iPhone other than AT&T. I just think we would have heard some white noise from people connected to Sprint or T-Mobile if they were in the hunt for iDevices. T-Mobile's people haven't even said a peep about it, and Sprint CEO Dan Hesse has said they probably aren't getting it soon.
CDMA (Can't Do Much of Anything) :-P
I have work issued VZW and I find ATT better overall for me in South Florida, reception and data throughput as well as simultaneous voice and data that I actually use all the time. I say let all carriers get it and see where the chips fall. Hopefully at some point in the future perhaps LTE will make it so all handsets can be used on all carriers, I can dream...
How many times are you gonna run (essentially) the same article Rene? I'll believe it when I see it. In the meantime, stop beating me to death.
If true, I am very glad for carrier choices for the iPhone. I live in a small town and most of the city has decent AT&T and Verizon coverage except where I live there is neither. The AT&T MicroCell is my lifesaver in our home so I am staying with AT&T for sure. The MicroCell is a wonderful product that all my neighbors now own as well.
The thing about network type (CDMA VS GSM) is that you cannot base everything strictly on speeds. Sure GSM is faster when you have full GSM coverage, but (and im just asking here so don't tear my heart out) how many of you really get full on GSM coverage AND speed? Plus it all depends on where you live. I personally live in Georgia and Verizon coverage here is nothing short of vastly superior to AT&T. Like I said it depends on where you live. However I have done side by side comparisons with my Droid 2 on Verizon and an AT&T iPhone and our web pages load at almost the exactly same rate with my Droid 2 being ahead of the iPhone is some cases. And ive had the same results with most downloads since I have never gone anywhere that I did not get full 3G service on Verizon. I agree with @Lars. Sometimes it sounds like some of you guys own stock or work for AT&T because as soon as anyone says anything remotely negative about them or mentions Verizon you act like someone has backed you into a corner and now you have to fight your way out to prove something to someone. I personally cant wait for the iPhone to come to Verizon. Ill be sporting one as soon as that happens. Granted when AT&T is good they're REALLY GOOD but when they're bad they are R E A L L Y B A D. Verizon, in my opinion and experience, has put together a much more CONSISTENTLY good network. You might not get BLAZING GSM SPEEDS, but your also NEVER going to go without really good network coverage. Theres a reason that AT&T was on the bottom of the totem pole last time the reports came out on customer service and reliability. Just saying.
I think it's a good move for apple to offer a CDMA version. I can't tell you how many Verizon people I meet that say I want an iPhone. As far as me running to them, not gonna happen. I think if people had a choice as to what carrier they wanted for their iPhone, we'd see those android numbers slowly decrease.
Yawn! These Verizon Iphone rumors are redundant and arbitrary. Any reasonable thinking person should know it is inevitable for the Iphone to branch out to Verizon, and other carriers. Honestly, did you think AT&T let everyone upgrade to the Iphone 4 mid contract out of the kindness of their heart? Use your head people.
The whole "simultaneous voice and data" benefit is nullified if the data speeds are limited anyway. Half the time I am walking around Manhattan, I have to step into a Starbucks and jump on wi-fi, just to access any data. Fail.
Honestly, how many times are you going to print and re-print the same article/rumor about a Verizon iPhone? It's most likely coming, so just tell everyone when it's finally here and save us all the hassle of reading the same mundane headline everyday. Which begs the question, what will all the Apple iPhone websites write about when it finally arrives?
Assrape, Torture & Telephone is outrageously priced, and I don't like even the possibility of downshifting into GSM. I have five lines on my AT&T account, though, and three of them are iPhones, so switching to a carrier with incompatible hardware is not a meaningful option.
My unrestricted carrier preference would be Sprint, but their coverage sucks where I live.
UPDATE Along with Verizon getting iPhone 4, in a surprise announcement both Cricket and Metro PCS will be getting the iPhone 4 and to encourage people to purchase from these two, Apple is cutting the wholesale price so that Cricket and MetroPCS can sell them for $209 with no contract. Now back to your regular rumor programing******
Opening iPhone sales to multiple providers in the US isn't like offering iPhones on different providers elsewhere in the world. The US providers are split up by type (GSM, CDMA...) and then each type has unique frequencies. While you can (if not may) move the iPhone from provider to provider by swapping a SIM card moving from provider to provider in the US would require replacing the physical radio (and drivers...).
Thank the FCC when it decided that standards inhibit innovation. The result is inefficiency and less competition.
Bottom line - selling the iPhone on multiple vendors in the us is more than a marketing decision. It can be done, but technically it's a different iPhone. As such there may be differences in battery life, reception... From a marketing point of view it's one step away from the monolithic model and a step closer to the multiple hardware offerings of WP7 and Android.
This. Isn't. Going. To. Happen.
That's not entirely accurate. The difference between T-mobile and AT&T frequencies is only at the 3G speeds. Otherwise they both use EDGE and really most of AT&T's national coverage map is EDGE anyways.
As for Sprint and Verizon, they both use the same frequencies for CDMA. What keeps a device from switching between each network is the ROM in the device isn't designed to be interchangeable like the SIM cards for GSM devices. That's a design choice though since the standards for CDMA don't require carrier network interchangeability.
Can TiPb stop posting these unsubstantiated nonsense rumours please? It's really annoying - especially for those of us who don't live in the US and don't care about its ridiculous carrier situation.
I'm really tired of reading about things that analysts and speculators make up solely to manipulate stock prices. There is no evidence that Apple has any interest in Verizon. And, every public statement that Verizon has made has come off as desperate, basically begging Apple to give them the iPhone. Does anyone remember that Verizon had an opportunity to have the original iPhone and refused? Do you think Steve Jobs remembers that? Exactly.
In any event, what I find funny about all of this is that American customers are angry with AT&T. Why, because they offer a proper GSM network? Apple shouldn't have to build a special device to accomodate your country's lack of proper GSM alternatives. Why don't you take it up with your carriers? Even Canada, a country with a MUCH SMALLER population and a MUCH LARGER landmass has multiple GSM carriers that carry the iPhone. What's your excuse, USA?
And there is one other thing I'd like to point out: if Verizon was the only GSM carrying the iPhone it would have EXACTLY the same network congestion problems that AT&T does. Verizon should count its blessings it hasn't been able to support the iPhone. It can benefit from people's blanked assumption that the grass is greener on the other side (that Verizon is somehow magically better than AT&T, which of course is entirely unsubstantiated).
I would not move to Verizon unless they allowed data while being on the phone. I use it all the time. Privately and also for business. I can be on the phone with my customer and use jaadu to remote into my desktop. Additionally CDMA is not a solution for people that want to travel internationally. It would be great to have several phone companies to offer the iphone to get some pressure on pricing.
Rumor: Verizon Along with the Iphone announcement will announce it has implemented software and hardware upgrades to allow for simultaneous voice and data on there iphone and future and possible current (limited) devices...
Personally i think this, i hope verizon gets the iphone! (unlimited internet is still on the table there), what would be better is i phone for ALL. I have Sprint and wouldnt mind getting an iphone but i wont hold my breath. and sooner or later the verizon iphone and the at&t iphone will be the same. "june" (4gs or 5) (ios 5.0) will most likly have the dual gsm and cdma chip and lte to follow when it becomes more availble.....
we shall see people......
I would love to see iPhone on all carriers (yes, even Verizon) but Apple does not make CDMA phones unless I am mistaken for a foreign market? So when LTE is out and deployed, then there is a chance that there will be iPhone on Verizon IMO. Plus Jeff Higgins said what I have said many times on these posts, Verizon turned down the first iPhone, and Steve does not forget (or forgive?) easily. Yes, they sell the iPad WiFI only and sell Verizon mifi with it, but no cellular data iPad for Verizon.
To everyone who says "CDMA... fail"
Just ask any owner of a Droid, Droid 2, Droid X, HTC Incredible, HTC Evo, Samsung Fascinate, etc, if it's as bad as you say it is.
We can't go back in time 10 years and tell Verizon and Sprint not to choose CDMA for their networks.
It's here... there are actually more CDMA customers in America than GSM... and phone manufacturers make plenty of CDMA phones for Verizon and Sprint.
Why shouldn't Apple?
Ya know... Apple went to Verizon first 5 years ago. If Verizon had said yes... we would already have CDMA iPhones.
I don't see why now making a CDMA iPhone is suddenly a bad idea...
@ scottae316
When? LTE has been rolled out in major cities and their surrounding suburbs for a month now....
Just not enough devices for it to be widely talked about really.
Plus your iPad point is not valid what-so-ever. Must rumors point to a CDMA based iPad 2 that will be sold on Vzw and the only reason they only have WiFi+mifi right now is due to the lack of CDMA chip in the original iPad. Head on over to USA Today and look at yesterdays article written by the founder of Mashable....even he ends it without apology saying that verizon will have the iPhone early next year.
For those saying it's not gonna happen: Your skepticism may have been valid when we were getting 1 or 2 rumors a month, but we're at the point where we're getting 2 or 3 a day covering various websites and sources. It's time to accept that the writing is on the wall for ATT Exclusivity.
My take on VZW getting the iPhone...fine. Yeah, initially it'll be a BIG deal but iPhone is so...Inferior to Android. iPhone is Kindergarten compared to Android. I honestly feel this is just a desprete attempt on Apples part to get those initially excited customers into iPhones before Android takes over completly. Apples just trying to extend its inevitable doom. We ALL know Android is the next step. Stop denying it. iPhone, and hopefully Apple, should be dead within the next 4 years. (Wishful thinking???) iPhone (or should I say Apple) is so limited and restricted on what you can and cant do its rediculous. Im sorry, but this Apple NO FLASH SUPPORT does NOT fly with me. Get with the times or forever be lost in the past. iPhone WAS great. But its time to move on to bigger, better, and well, more promising things. Enter Android.
As for this CDMA is inferior to GSM...I say whatever. I look at network coverage and reliablity, not the carriers technology choice. I think GSM IS the better choice for customers (in the US) that do alot of international calling and traveling. But a few CDMA phones are now GSM compatible...in other countries. Plus, GSM phones are definatly more 'steal-able'. All you gotta do is pick up someones iPhone, put your SIM card in it and BAM. That iPhone just became your property. CDMA is a much more...secure way of doing things. My Incredible goes missing? I call VZW, have them lock my ESN, and when someone walks into a VZW store to activate it...Oh, would you look at that? Its locked. Says here this phone has been reported stolen or missing...Whered you get this phone again??? I can rest easy knowing MY PHONE that I PAID FOR cannot be put into some theifs hands...and they get a free phone out of it. So...I beg the question, yet again. Who's technologies are inferior here? As for that foreign person slamming America and Americans just because of CDMA, well, ya see, thats the BEAUTY of America. Just cuz the WHOLE WORLD is doing it doesnt mean we will! Socialized medicine...the whole world has that...yet America remains behind the "times" (THANK GOD) Granted, we have some people in office trying to change that, but thats not my point here. My point is that America doesnt HAVE to be up with every stinking technology and bad idea. We, the PEOPLE, are FREE to choose. As well as the companies. VZW was FREE to choose what technology they wanted. Noone but them, told them what to do.
Haters keep on hating. :) Have a good day!
What is all this crap about not being able to use data and voice at the same time on Verizon? I've got a BlackBerry on VZW and I've been browsing the web (if you can call using the horrific, slow browser that) while talking on the phone for a year and a half. My phone doesn't have wifi, so it's all data. I don't know where you guys get your information...
I've been waiting and waiting for a VZW iPhone. My BlackBerry Tour was my first BB and will be my last... hopefully when my plan's up in April I'll be able to get the iP4!!! My 1st Gen iPod Touch is barely hanging on, and I'd love to have one device for everything. crosses fingers I just hope they don't go to tiered data...

How does New Wave Enviro promote Green Living? New Wave Enviro focuses on critical health and environmental issues facing us today. Plastic litter is filling up America's landfills at an alarming rate. Most plastic drinking water bottles are designed for one time use and then thrown away. Every cheap plastic bottle produced uses up precious oil which is non renewable. New Wave addresses this issue by producing only eco friendly, reusable and recyclable water bottles. Their products include bottles made from Eastar Resin, Stainless Steel, and Corn-Based Bottle. Living a Plastic litter-free lifestyle is an easy, inexpensive and helpful step towards saving the environment. Chlorine gas was used extensively in WW1 as a chemical warfare agent. Today it is used in municipal water supplies to deliver water to our homes free of microscopic contaminants. However it serves no useful purpose on or in our bodies. New Wave designs, patents and manufactures water filters that remove harmful chlorine & other contaminants from shower, bath and drinking water at home and away from home. Stainless Steel Water bottles are one of the safest and eco-friendly ways to keep hydrated. New Wave Enviro's Stainless Steel water bottles are lead and phthalate free and might be the last water bottle you'll ever have to purchase! #304 Food Grade Stainless Steel is light weight and durable and makes a statement that "I want to make a difference in the environment", and "I will no longer be apart of wasting petroleum" with one use plastic water bottles. Stainless Steel water bottles are fashionable and can be an extension of your personality, as with the 600ml Yoga Stainless Steel Water Bottle and the US Ski Team and US Snowboarding Team Stainless Steel Water bottles in 40 oz and 600ml sizes. Do you live an active lifestyle? How about the sports cap that comes standard with their 1 Liter Stainless Steel Water bottles. The 12oz Stainless Steel Water Bottle also comes with a sports cap for little athletes as well. Being green starts at the roots so start your kids consciously with a Sippy Cap 12oz Stainless Steel Water bottle. As they get older they can graduate to a Black Sports Cap or Stainless Steel Loop cap.

Brought to the United States by their families as children, about 65,000 of these kids graduate from American high schools every year. A lot have made it through college, on private scholarships, with honors.
But they can't legally work in the United States, even though they self-identify as Americans.
By now, most of us have heard of the federal legislation called the DREAM Act, which would allow undocumented high school grads with no criminal records temporary legal residency so they could attend college or trade school or join the military. They'd get green cards only after living up to their end of the bargain. Then, eventually, they'd qualify for citizenship. They'd work, pay taxes, shore up the middle class, and strengthen the military if they only had a chance, their advocates say.
The law has been introduced every year since 2001, and it's getting a last-chance airing as 2010 draws to a close.
FAIR has successfully blocked DREAM Act legislation, decrying it as closeted amnesty for illegal aliens and condemning it as an incentive for further illegal immigration into the United States.
In Arizona, DREAMers face fierce opposition. In an October 12 fundraising e-mail addressed to "American Patriots Opposing the Obama-Pelosi-Reid Lame-Duck Amnesty" a group called Ban Amnesty Now sought contributions to help Russell Pearce and Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio fight the "DREAM Act nightmare."
Ban Amnesty Now is a Phoenix-based "national educational and research association" run by Sean McCaffrey, a local Republican operative, and its honorary chairs are Bay Buchanan (she's Pat's sister and Tom Tancredo's co-chair in the anti-immigration Team America PAC), Arpaio, Tancredo, and Pearce.
It's easy enough to connect it to the FAIR sisterhood — Ban Amnesty Now posted a blog by Mark Krikorian, head of the CIS, on its Web site. In the blog, Krikorian discusses rural-to-urban immigration patterns and refers to unauthorized Mexican immigrants in the United States as Mexico's "excess peasantry."
Two days before November's midterm election, state Senator Russell Pearce sent an e-mail to constituents, reminding them of that $2.7 billion "cost of illegal immigration" to Arizona taxpayers and of the many rapes, murders, and child molestations purportedly committed by Mexicans who jump the fence.
"Rancher Rob Krentz was murdered by the drug cartel on his ranch," Pearce wrote.
It was a wildly irresponsible statement.
In March, after Krentz was gunned down a few miles north of the Mexican border ("Badlands, June 3, "Cowboy Down," June 10), Tancredo, who had just visited the area, blamed the murder on a drug-smuggling Mexican illegal.
Then, Pearce repeated the allegation, and it went viral on extremist Web sites. Soon, it seemed most Arizonans believed it.
Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever said trackers had followed footprints from the murder site clear to the Mexican border. Next, Dever released a mug shot of a fierce-looking Mexican "investigative lead" named Alejandro Chavez Vazquez, a.k.a. Armando Chacon Gonzales.
Vazquez reportedly had been deported once and was suspected of burglaries in Portal, Arizona, a town about 60 miles east of Krentz Ranch, authorities said. He lived across the border from Douglas in Agua Prieta, Sonora, they said.
That was news to the mayor of Agua Prieta, who told a Tucson television reporter: "Nobody knows him. He's never been here, and I'm pretty sure he's not here."
The Krentz murder remains unsolved.
The killing had a profound influence on the passage of SB 1070 because Pearce and Tancredo used it to set off a fear-of-Mexicans wave in Arizona.
Grim-faced borderlands ranchers in their cowboy hats stood by Russell Pearce's side in front of TV cameras at the Arizona Capitol on the day SB 1070 faced its biggest challenge — passing through the Arizona House, where moderate Republicans could have blocked it.
In the end, all House Republicans voted in support of the law, caving to widespread fear of the Mexican-immigrant menace.
Politicians and anti-immigrant groups seized on the Krentz killing as political gold and clamored for more border security. The Mexican drug war, which had taken more than 23,000 lives in three years in that country, was sneaking into Arizona, they suggested.
Not a single anti-SB 1070 politico bothered to report that, in Cochise County, where Krentz was gunned down, Dever's office had linked (as of June) just two murders to illegal immigrants.
In both cases, the murder victims, not the killers, had crossed the border without papers.
Governor Jan Brewer spoke of drug-related beheadings in the desert, and she famously announced that most Mexican immigrants were drug mules.
The beheadings-in-the-desert/all-illegals-are-drug-mules stories were patently false.
Contrary to Brewer's assertions, border counties and cities have experienced declining crime rates, and border cities were among the safest in the nation, according to the FBI. The Associated Press crunched FBI numbers in June and found that violent crime was down 15 percent in Arizona.
Crime studies show again and again that immigrants do not commit as many violent crimes as their native-born counterparts.
And areas with larger populations of unauthorized migrants actually experience reduced crime rates, according to the progressive Immigration Policy Center.
Despite all this, when Arizonans were polled after the passage of SB 1070, they voiced mounting fear over border security — meaning, crimes committed by Mexicans on Americans.

Pleurisy (Pleuritis)
Pleurisy Treatment: A Little Complicated
External splinting of the chest wall and pain medication can reduce the pain of pleurisy. Treatment of the underlying disease, of course, ultimately relieves the pleurisy.
If the pleural fluid shows signs of infection, appropriate treatment involves antibiotics and drainage of the fluid. If there is pus inside the pleural space, a chest drainage tube should be inserted.

Antique Black Verona Two-Shelf Bookshelf 10 10
Sturdy and attractive We use this as a hall table and it's filled with family photos. It's sturdy and solid. Nice look for our space. May 16, 2015
Sturdy & Beautiful I was very pleased with this bookshelf. It arrived quickly. Really easy to put together & lovely to look at when finished. August 14, 2014
Amazing, classy-looking bookcase!@ According to my husband, this wasn't that hard to put together and the finished result is awesome. We got two of them, and placed them side-by-sue to make one long looking bookcase in our master bedroom. I would definitely recommend this to a friend. We wanted to get the matching tall bookcase for the corner of our office, but it was too wide to fit our area. Bummer! June 19, 2014
Attractive, Sturdy and Just What I Needed I was very pleased with the bookshelf. It was relatively easy to put together and is very sturdy. The bottom shelf was damaged and WM Customer Service was extremely accommodating in sending me a new shelf and giving me a credit on my shipping. December 7, 2013
Great purchase I purchased this item with the Black Josephine Desk and love them both! This item was easy to assemble and doesn't look cheap, which I like. The shelves may be a little tiny height wise depending what your putting on them; I have school binders, but they are adjustable. Definitely love this piece of furniture! November 29, 2013
Very nice looking; easy to assemble I have purchased two of these bookshelves now--one a year or so ago for my daughter's bedroom, and now one for our hallway. I love the look, the ease of assembly, and the size. November 13, 2013
Quality bookcase We purchased this bookcase to furnish a guest room. Assembly was quick but took two people. The main function of the bookcase, for our purposes, was to hold a small television, lamp and two baskets for storage. Everything fit on the shelves with plenty of room to spare. The bookcase looks great in the room and is very sturdy. I am very happy that the Verona is made out of solid wood and not MDF. The Verona was chosen as a replacement for a Riley bookcase that was taken by my daughter when she moved out. I enjoy the open back /sides design of the Verona. The value of World Market furniture was a definite consideration also. I would highly recommend the Verona bookcase as a quality piece of furniture. December 17, 2012
Great Piece World market delivers again! I saw this piece online and went into the store to special order it for pickup. At the store I did see the similar brown piece but it's not as striking as the black so I waited the extra 10 days and came back. So glad I did we can't be more happy with this piece! It's solid wood, easy to assemble, sturdy, great deep black finish with a slight worn look at the edges. One bonus that isn't mentioned is that there is a small lip on the back edge of the shelf so that your books do not slip off. I like that detail. I put this bookshelf in an odd spot between my kitchen and dining room. I have my color coordinated cookbooks on the bottom and all white serving bowls on the next shelf, display items on the top. It looks fantastic! November 29, 2011

The dirt is calling.
Rumor has it the dirt in Fruita is going to be great this weekend, so it's the perfect time to load up your posse's whips in the Thule Vertex Five-Bike Hitch Rack and hit the road. With a burly two-inch hitch and and ultra-stable Hold-Fast Cradles, the Vertex can handle an entire fleet of mountain or road bikes without breaking a sweat, and it has Anti-Sway Cages that prevent your bikes from swinging into each other and damaging their freshness. Thule's easy Hitch Switch folds the curved arm of the Vertex down when you're not using it and also lets you tilt the fully-loaded rack backward for easy access to your trunk when you're on the road, because no dirt-chasing road trip is complete without a comprehensive and easy-to-access snack buffet.

Lehi Valley Churro Caramel Corn Nuggets 4 4
Addictive! When I start eating these I'm always amazed at how quick a bag can disappear. They are so addictive!! I drive 30 minutes to buy them & they are worth every penny & mile. April 11, 2013
Addicting is a word that fits this treat This is one treat that you cannot quit eating. Steve-o is the second person I've seen describe this treat with the word addicting. I have bougth 8 bags of this in the past 3 -4 months and the reason I didn't buy more is because they keep running out in the local World Market. October 8, 2012
Nuggets are to die for! How could you disagree with a comment left by Tommy Boy! These little devils are amazingly addicting! Taste just like a Churro that without the mess! May 15, 2012
Amazing... A M A Z I N G !!! The headline should say it all. These little morsels are PURE HEAVEN. First and foremost, they look like grubs so I freaked my sister-in-law out by making her think I was eating grubs (LOL). Second, when you eat em, it's like a party in your mouth. I bought 'em on a fluke and after I breezed through the first bag, I went back to get more. I'm tellin ya, I went through 3 bags in a day and a half, and I only weigh 160 (BEFORE I started eating, that is). Final thoughts, these things'll be the death of me. ENJOY! April 27, 2012

SANTA ANA, Calif. One thing we know for sure: You cant clump herbs into one category. As much as their flavors and uses are diverse, so are their growing habits.
The Herb Society of America says that herbs have more than one definition. Botanists describe soft-stemmed plants as herbs or herbaceous plants for their lack of woody parts.
But herbalists use the term herb more widely for any plant whether it is a tree, shrub, perennial or annual that is used for flavor, fragrance, medicinal cures or has dye qualities.
Both are correct and the category includes thousands of plants with all sorts of uses from modern-day heart medicines (digitalis) to pesticides (marigolds) used commercially.
But most backyard gardeners think of herbs as plants we grow for the kitchen. These include common basils, thyme, dill and other culinary plants.
Its difficult to create a dummys guide to growing herbs because even the common backyard herbs have different needs, and they dont necessarily want to grow near each other, as some garden designers would suggest.
Better to plant your herbs in places they want to grow instead of relegating them to an herb-only garden where some will grow terribly tall and crowd out others and some will want shade, and so forth. Scatter your herbs around the landscape.
Bay Sweet bay or Laurus nobilis is a small tree used in cooking and can tolerate tough, dry conditions. This slow grower is suitable for pots on the patio.
Lavender This is a woody shrub that can grow quite large. You can clip it back to a certain point, or until there is more wood than leafy top. Thats when you will want to pull it out and replace it.
Rosemary This is also a woody shrub that is happy in dry conditions. Low-growing rosemary can be used for groundcovers, large upright rosemary for focal points.
Sage Culinary sage is also a low-growing woody plant suitable for dry, sunny spots in the garden.
Chives A bulb plant related to onion. Can be grown in pots or in the ground.
Fennel A tall perennial plant with fern-like leaves. Can be grown in part shade. Likes water. Looks pretty in flower gardens.
Mint Most mints are invasive. Grow these in pots to avoid their spread.
Oregano A low-growing kind of woody plant that spreads out from the base. Provide plenty of room for mature plants.
Parsley This is truly an herbaceous perennial with soft stems. Even though its sold as an annual, it will live for two to three years in Southern California gardens. Cut back in winter, and it will regrow in spring.
Pelargoniums Scented geraniums can grow large. Leave enough room in your landscape for these to reach maturity.
Basil Basil doesnt survive even the slightest chill from winters. Replant from 3-inch nursery starts every spring in a sunny spot and provide regular water.
Cilantro This ferny annual is usually grown from seed. Plants bolt fast, so replant every 30 days or so. Prefers cooler winter temperatures, but needs full sun and regular water.
Dill Another ferny annual grown from seed started about every 30 days. Sprinkle these in the flower garden and let them reseed at the end of the season. Provide full sun and regular water.

To allow meter data users to have access to needed information and at the same time address the rapidly shifting requirements of the deregulated marketplace, a new business model, apparatus and system are provided. A common metering device measures raw data and a system composed of independent services or applications collect and process raw metered data and then make that data available to interested parties. This new model removes the dependence upon an automatic meter reading (AMR) system provider, as the sole provider, by creating a system to enable a competitive environment where services (applications, information, networking, etc.) rather than systems are selected and paid for on a leased or pay-per-use basis. One example of such a networked-based, extensible metering system comprises a network server, a wide area network coupled to the network server, and a plurality of network-enabled meters coupled to the network. The meters collect data and the network server provides at least one metering application to the meters. In addition, the meters may be programmed to communicate via a predefined protocol and to deliver a protocol interface to a storage medium on the network, which enables the network to provide the protocol interface to users or applications requiring information from the meters and the users/applications to communicate with the meters to access the required information.
1. A networked-based, extensible metering system, comprising:
(a) a plurality of networked servers executing a network of interoperable services including a directory service that comprises a plurality of networked device or application interface locations;
(b) a TCP/IP network coupled to the networked servers; and
(c) a network-enabled meter coupled to the TCP/IP network;
wherein the meter provides services and data to a networked device or application using an associated networked device or application interface location and receives new services from the networked device or application using the associated networked device or application interface location.

This is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 09/022,718 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,396,839, filed Feb. 12, 1998, titled "Remote Access to Electronic Meters Using a TCP/IP Protocol Suite," which is hereby incorporated by reference and which claims priority to Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/039,716, filed Feb. 12, 1997.
The present invention relates generally to the field of utility metering (including gas, electric, water and energy metering). More particularly, the present invention relates to the integration of network systems and utility meters.
The above-cited U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/022,718 discloses a system generally involving electronic meters and automatic meter reading, and more particularly TCP/IP-enabled electronic utility meters for remote two-way access over local and wide area networks. The present invention is related in that it involves the use of TCP/IP-enabled, extensible utility meters in a new business model and system. Further background information about the business model aspect of the present invention is provided below.
Business Models
Currently, meter manufacturers sell meters to make money. Some revenue is generated from metering system sales, but these systems are generally viewed as just another mechanism for selling additional meters. Meter manufacturers compete by providing better metering capabilities and functionality at a lower price.
Any given type of meter, whether it is water, electric, energy, or gas, measures a bounded set of quantities. These quantities represent the raw data collected by the device. Meter manufacturers cannot use this raw metered data as a way to differentiate themselves from their competitors. Therefore, at the factory, they load their meter's firmware with embedded capabilities, improved accuracy, or other applications (e.g., time of use (TOU), power quality (PQ) and/or alarm monitoring). These firmware applications use the meter's core set of data to compute the information that their meter data users (MDUs) need. To hedge against the uncertainty of deregulation, meter data users (such as utility distribution companies (UDC), energy service providers (ESP), or meter data management agencies (MDMA), etc.) often purchase, at a low price, fully capable meters with all or some of their capabilities disabled (i.e., "turned off"). When additional functionality is needed, the MDU must purchase a license (or "key") that gives it the ability to enable ("turn on") the desired function in a meter. This method of selectively turning on meter functions allows the meter manufacturer to create new license-based pricing models to make its product more cost competitive. Thus, in reality, the meter must still be manufactured with all of the necessary hardware and applications in order to support the fullest possible range of functionality in an effort to more efficiently address possible future metering needs.
This business model has several drawbacks:
With the advent of improved communication technology, manufacturers are now able to add modem, network, and radio-frequency (RF) connectivity to their meters, thus permitting remote communications between meters and various meter data retrieval systems (e.g., automated meter reading (AMR) systems). However, there are limitations associated with these methods of remote communications:
Existing AMR systems are also limited in that they require several layers of applications and interfaces in order to communicate with connected meters. These layers implement the various communications protocols used by the numerous meter manufacturers and the various communications technologies that can be used to communicate with a meter (e.g., RF communication, satellite-based communication, etc.). As these meters are constantly revised, so are their communications protocols, requiring similar modifications to the AMR system. Industry standards intended to unify the communication and device protocols typically fall short by setting minimum requirements for compliance and/or providing manufacturer-specific mechanisms to allow variability and customizations. Therefore, AMR systems still often require meter-specific knowledge (e.g., communications and device protocols) to read the required data from meters offered by different manufacturers. Even with the current metering standards, the addition of a new or different meter would typically require additions and/or modifications to an AMR system. The increasing variety of meters presents an almost insurmountable challenge to the automated meter reading industry.
Deregulation of the electricity metering industry has created even more challenges. Prior to deregulation, a utility was responsible for generating, distributing, and transmitting electricity as well as purchasing, storing and installing metering devices, collecting metered data and processing customer billing. Now, with deregulation slowly being implemented throughout the United States, those duties and responsibilities that were the exclusive responsibility of the utility can now be divided among several service companies and providers who all need access to the meter and the meter data. All of these companies require access to either the data collected from the metering devices (e.g., power quality, outage, etc.) or to the calculated/processed data (e.g., quadrant data; validated, estimated, and edited (VEE) data, etc.) for their internal use (load management and monitoring, forecasting, etc.).
Today there are two prevailing AMR System business models. We refer to these as: 1) the exclusive ownership model (depicted in
In the exclusive owner business model (
Some of the non-measurable benefits include:
Taken alone, the measurable benefits listed above typically do not justify the expense incurred by purchasing an AMR system. Consequently, the number of large AMR System deployments has not reached expectations.
In the service bureau business model (
In both business models, the AMR supplier's business case is to develop and sell AMR Systems and maintenance agreements. This business case assumes that the development investment for an AMR System can be recouped through many AMR System sells. In the exclusive owner business model, the AMR System supplier is typically confronted with a customer who wants an AMR System customized to handle his/her specific business processes. These types of AMR System sales usually require the AMR supplier to perform customer specific development. AMR System sells of this type, made by an AMR supplier, increase the AMR supplier's overall development costs, deployment costs, long-term maintenance costs, and upgrade costs. In the service bureau business model, the AMR supplier is confronted with a customer who requires an AMR System that has a different set of requirements from the AMR System of the exclusive ownership model. The AMR System sold to operate as a service bureau must accommodate many different MDUs and their business processes, and must also control access to the metered data. E.g., "ESP A" cannot read the metered information for a customer of "ESP B." The service bureau AMR System is more complex because this system must accommodate all of the MDU's needs while controlling or limiting access in a secure manner. The AMR System suppliers have a problem in creating a workable business case because they make a significant development investment and cannot afford financially or from a risk management point of view to limit their systems to one business model or the other. In today's uncertain environment, it is not clear if both business models will survive the deregulation evolution. The AMR System suppliers, therefore, must identify a way to develop a system that covers all requirements for both business models, is customizable, flexible, easily adaptable, etc.
In either of the above business models, the MDUs and the service bureau operators are dependent upon the sole AMR System supplier to react quickly to solve system problems, and address new requirements that may evolve from the evolving deregulation process. Since the AMR Systems developed today are proprietary and closed, this dependency upon a sole provider is a weak link in terms of risk management for the MDUs and service bureau operators. Competition within the volatile deregulated environment hinges upon AMR System providers' ability to respond rapidly to customer needs.
To allow meter data users to have access to needed information and at the same time address the rapidly shifting requirements of the deregulated marketplace, there is a need for a new business model, and a new apparatus and system for implementing such a business model. The present invention meets this need by providing a common metering device that measures raw data and a system composed of independent services or applications that can collect and process raw metered data and then make that data available to interested parties. This new model is intended to remove the dependence upon an AMR System provider, as the sole provider, by creating a system concept to enable a competitive environment where services (applications, information, networking, etc.) rather than systems are selected and paid for on a leased or pay-per-use basis.
A networked-based, extensible metering system in accordance with the present invention comprises a network server, a wide area network coupled to the network server, and a plurality of network-enabled meters coupled to the network. The meters collect data and the network server provides at least one metering application to the meters. In addition, the meters may be programmed to communicate via a predefined protocol and to deliver a protocol interface to a storage medium on the network, which enables the network to provide the protocol interface to users or applications requiring information from the meters and the users/applications to communicate with the meters to access the required information.
Other aspects of the present invention are described below.
The present invention introduces a new method for generating metering revenue using new, faster and improved communication and device technologies. In this system and business model, a new meter apparatus for collecting and storing metered data and information is part of a virtual machine as is the network application system of which it is a part. By residing on the network, the meter information becomes readily accessible to other devices, applications, and users on the network. Using new object-oriented, embedded networking technologies (e.g., Sun Microsystems' Java�/Jini�, Microsoft's Universal Plug and Play�, etc.), service discovery protocols, and security mechanisms, devices (i.e., meters) and services (i.e., data collection, storage, validation, TOU, etc.) are accessible to MDUs (such as, ESP, UDC, and MDMA) that need access to raw or metered information.
An exemplary embodiment of the present invention will now be described from the perspectives of the business model and the system.
Business Model
Thus, the present invention may be implemented in a system that comprises network-based applications and network-enabled meters (electrical, gas, energy and water) that can provide full or part-time, secure connectivity between the meters and layered business applications using the Internet. Moreover, by employing object-oriented inter-networking technologies for embedded devices technology, this system provides a suite of products including meters, core services and networked applications that make meter information available to interested parties. The inter-network services are expected to provide common communications protocols, discovery protocols, namespace management (i.e., Directory or Lookup Service), leasing/pay-per-use services, and security (especially secure access to network-enabled meters).
System and Apparatus
In the inventive system, the network-enabled meter ceases to be the sole revenue-generating commodity for manufacturers. Instead, the meter and the software systems that access and process its data become a continuous source of revenue. The meter becomes a simple device that requires no programming and fewer upgrades. The meter's functionality is no longer limited by the volume "under the glass" but becomes virtually unlimited by having the functionality residing on the network and accessed on an as-needed basis by the networked applications. Networked applications use the same service infrastructure as the networked meter. E.g., the networked applications use the network discovery, join and lookup services to find other application services just as applications use network infrastructure to find meter services. Networked applications register the services they offer with the Lookup services, just as the meter does. This allows both networked meters and networked applications to work in a transparent federation of services. In order for applications and meters to cooperate in a federation of services, the service interfaces must be predefined into a set of Open APIs. These applications can include storage of metered information, load profiling, data aggregation, power quality monitoring, tariff calculations, outage notifications, etc. Meter data users may decide which applications they need and either choose the application provider or develop the needed application in-house. If an application provider were selected, then the application would be paid for on either a per-use basis or leased for a set period of time. New or expanded functions and features could be easily added to the system and just as easily implemented by the meter data users. An additional benefit of having the applications residing on the network rather than in the meter is that feature upgrades or meter updates or maintenance occurs at the network level rather that in the meter at the customer's site. Thus, by decreasing the complexity of the meter, the probability for errors at the meter level is decreased, making maintenance and upgrades easier and more efficient.
Using the virtually unlimited processing power and capacity of a network, the capabilities of a meter also become virtually unlimited. When a meter requires an upgrade or patch, a Meter Service Provider could "push" the new code to all affected meters with a single command instead of physically removing each and every affected meter and transporting them to the meter shop for firmware/software upgrades. The upgrades would take effect immediately, making the new functionality instantaneously available to meter data users.
In addition to allowing meter data users to directly access and process meter data, the system allows meter data users to provide certain end user processes (e.g., service disconnect, on-site usage display, etc.), as shown in
With this invention, the meter data user, or MDU, that decides upon an exclusive ownership business model will be capable of assembling services provided by many suppliers to create the AMR System that best suits their business case. In addition, the MDU can elect to develop certain services to add value or lease to other MDUs. This increases a MDU's flexibility to generate revenue, reduces their dependence upon a sole AMR System provider, and reduces their overall risk. This invention also strengthens the service bureau business model by allowing a service bureau operator to assemble and/or develop different services for different MDU subscribers. These MDU subscribers can in turn develop value-added services of their own in order to gain competitive advantage. Finally, this invention helps the AMR Suppliers by creating well-defined services that makeup an AMR System. The AMR Suppliers can decide which services they can best develop to generate an ongoing revenue stream, not a series of one time, customized AMR System sales.
In sum, the present invention provides a novel system based on a network-enabled, extensible meter. It is understood, however, that the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative constructions. There is no intention to limit the invention to the specific constructions described herein. E.g., the various techniques described herein may be implemented in a variety of hardware or software, or a combination of both. Preferably, the techniques are implemented in utility metering components having programmable processors, a storage medium readable by the processor (including volatile and non-volatile memory and/or disk storage elements), and various application programs. Each program may be implemented in assembly or machine language. However, the programs can be implemented in a high level procedural or object oriented programming language to communicate with a computer system. In any case, the language may be a compiled or interpreted language. Each such computer program is preferably stored on a storage medium or device (e.g., ROM or magnetic disk) that is readable by a general or special purpose programmable computer for configuring and operating the computer when the storage medium or device is read by the computer to perform the procedures described above. The system may also be implemented as a computer-readable storage medium, configured with a computer program, where the storage medium so configured causes a computer to operate in a specific and predefined manner.
Although exemplary embodiments of the invention have been described in detail above, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that many additional modifications are possible in the exemplary embodiments without materially departing from the novel teachings and advantages of the invention. Accordingly, these and all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of this invention as defined in the following claims.

Bushels of Fruity Fun
By Sweet Silly Sara
from Galion, Ohio
Best Uses
Comments about New Sprouts® Bushel of Fruit:
My son loves play food. He likes to pretend he is cooking, eating and shopping. He also likes to pretend he is feeding the dog play food. I love that he has a great imagination and that I can count on Learning Resources to help him with one of his favorite forms of pretend. This was perfect for my busy 3 year old. While he loves play food, getting him to eat the real deal can be a challenge. Using pretend fruits and veggies has been helpful to breaking the barrier. At this time last year my son would run and hide at the sight of grapes or an orange. Now that we have incorporated pretend fruit into our daily play he will go as far as to lick any kind of fruit. That is a baby step, but an important one! Before long he will have the courage to eat fruits I hope.The Bushel of Fruit is a great set of pretend food. It is the right size for small hands. The pieces are sturdy and durable which is very important to me, my son can be rough on toys. I love that these fruits are easy to wash and dry. The aspect of imaginative play makes them perfect for young children.I have been very impressed with this set of play food, I hope to get the Bushel of Vegetables for him soon to begin working the wonderful world of veggies into his play time and diet.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

High school games offer teens big league experienceWritten by Guest Author | | email@example.com
By Dave Kubacki, Toledo Free Press Staff Writer
For most high school baseball players, playing in a professional ballpark never makes it past being a dream. Thanks to the Toledo Mud Hens and Fifth Third Field, that dream is becoming a reality more often than ever before.
For more than 10 years, Fifth Third Field has opened its gates for area high schools teams, providing student-athletes a rare opportunity to compete in the heart of Downtown Toledo. For 2014, Fifth Third Field has 10 games scheduled and will likely add some additional games in the next couple of months, said Michael Keedy, manager of special events for the Mud Hens.
The program offers high school players a unique opportunity, Keedy said.
"It's the experience," he said. "Imagine being a high school baseball player and having the opportunity to play at such a beautiful facility. A lot of high schools have nice facilities, but it's different stepping out onto Fifth Third Field. High schools want their kids to have that experience. You can tell the kids enjoy it. We set a game time and it always seems the teams show up an hour or an hour and a half early because they are so excited."
There is no facility or field rental fee and nearly zero out-of-pocket expenses for the program. Teams receive 300 undated Mud Hens ticket vouchers, which must be sold at a minimum of $10 per voucher. Teams are allowed to mark up the $10 voucher and keep the additional revenue as a fundraiser for their respective programs.
Most schools have no problem selling the tickets, said Emily Croll, special events coordinator for the Mud Hens.
"Most sell their tickets between $11 and $13 to use as a fundraising effort," Croll said. "These teams go on spring break and have other uniform costs. Most of the time, the teams are very successful in selling their tickets and actually sell over the 300 vouchers we give them. They have their freshman, JV and varsity all selling tickets and they run out pretty quickly. It's a great way for the community to support their local teams."
Perrysburg High School baseball coach Dave Hall said playing at Fifth Third Field is a great opportunity for the kids to see how the game feels played on a big stage.
"The experience has been really good for the players," Hall said. "They love being in a Triple A facility. It's a really nice atmosphere, especially knowing that you are playing in a place that is one step away from the major leagues. Every year, the kids are excited and the coaches are excited."
Hall said there are adjustments players make, but notes high school parks are getting bigger and bigger every year.
"You know, there are some adjustments," Hall said. "However, our kids have experience playing in all sorts of different sizes of ballparks. Not to mention, the high school fields are getting bigger every time. Kids can still hit one out of the park, but it doesn't happen too often."
