			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many children spend years taking up and dropping different activities, until they settle on a select few where they reach their level of comfort, holding on to them for the long term. It&#8217;s very much trial and error, but these formative years are crucial in helping a child to decide which course in life they wish to pursue. Towards the end of primary school, children have usually attained their basic formal education in the three most important areas – the three R&#8217;s still holds strong: Reading, Writing and Arithmetic.</p>
<p>If you are the principal of a school or college, you will be more aware than ever that the ability to present the <a href="http://www.schoolprospectus.co.uk/">school prospectus</a> of your own establishment to the public in the best light is crucial to ensuring full capacity for the coming semesters. Gone are the days when basic websites were sufficient to portray your message. With increased competition among schools, there are greater numbers of principals requiring high quality web design to ensure that their site gets the best traffic. Making your <a href="http://www.schoolprospectus.co.uk/secondary-school-prospectus-design.html">secondary school prospectus</a> the most visible on the net is paramount to ensuring adequate internet traffic. Professional companies that specialise in <a href="http://www.schoolprospectus.co.uk/">school prospectus design</a> are now at the forefront of web design and aim to best position your school so that it receives maximum exposure, thereby resulting in new students.</p>
<p>Companies that work exclusively within the areas of school prospectus design are ahead of the game in terms of their knowledge of the competition. They are marketing specialists, working within a specific field and, equipped with that knowledge, it is important that all school principals take the time to study the services that they offer.</p>
<p>Using high quality pictures and detailed graphs, they can present the information that your school wants to portray in its most visibly pleasing format. They are marketing experts and know when, where, and how to release a completed website, or school prospectus, in order to create the greatest impact within the marketplace. One of the first things that needs to be done with a website, is to agree on a logo, your identifiable and unique image that will set your school apart from the rest, and the design experts will take that on as part of their brief. The full brief for a secondary school prospectus should encompass design, (web and all printed matter), copy writing, SEO, video production; in fact all aspects that fall within the marketing realm. It&#8217;s a competitive world out there, and it is vital that you put your school prospectus at the forefront.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s only a matter of $1 in nominal damages, but the stakes in a Monday decision by a federal appeals court are much higher for litigation under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.</p>
<p>A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, in San Francisco, ruled unanimously that nominal damages are not available under the federal special education law. Nominal damages are usually symbolic and typically involve small amounts of money. They are distinct from compensatory damages, which are meant to compensate for specific types of losses. </p>
<p>The May 14 decision in <em>Oman</em> v. <em>Portland Public Schools</em> has implications for cases in which students have aged out of public schools and thus could not benefit from &#8220;prospective relief&#8221; such as court-ordered changes to their education plans.</p>
<p>The 9th Circuit ruled in the case of an Oregon mother, Pat Oman, and her son who was diagnosed with &#8220;special learning needs&#8221; in 2nd grade and provided an individualized education plan under the IDEA. Years later, the child was rejected for admission to a magnet high school in the Portland district because he was achieving well below grade level. The boy&#8217;s mother sought records, including those in the personal possession of his teachers, to determine why the boy had not succeeded in his IEP.</p>
<p>This resulted in a clash with the district, which the 9th Circuit described as quickly going into &#8220;litigation mode.&#8221;</p>
<p>The mother filed various suits and claims over her son&#8217;s education, seeking monetary damages that the 9th Circuit opinion doesn&#8217;t detail .</p>
<p>Most of her claims were dismissed by a federal district court because she was representing him but was not an attorney. However, the district court took up three of the mother&#8217;s claims of alleged retaliation by school officials. The court held that the district&#8217;s in-house lawyer had acted to discourage the mother from exercising her statutory rights to challenge the boy&#8217;s IEP. The district court awarded $1 in nominal damages under the IDEA and Section 1983, a federal statute that allows individuals to assert their civil rights against government actors. </p>
<p>The school district appealed that ruling. In its decision Monday, the 9th Circuit reversed, holding that &#8220;the wording of the IDEA does not disclose a congressional intent to provide &#8230; a remedy for nominal damages.&#8221;</p>
<p>The court noted that some parents who sue school districts under the IDEA do so on behalf of children who have already graduated high school, and thus such families are normally not entitled to prospective relief such as court orders.</p>
<p>&#8220;Creating a remedy for nominal damages would prevent such cases from becoming moot and would entitle the parents  to attorneys&#8217; fees,&#8221; the court said. &#8220;As such, recognizing a cause of action for nominal damages could have considerable impact on the remedial scheme.&#8221;</p>
<p>The ruling does not appear to involve one major area of IDEA case law where parents may receive significant compensation. Under decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court and lower courts, parents in a dispute with a school district over the special education placement of their child may &#8220;unilaterally&#8221; place that child in a private school and receive a public reimbursement if a court later holds that the public school placement was not appropriate.</p>
<p>On a separate issue, the 9th Circuit on Monday rejected a counter-appeal by the mother over the magnet school&#8217;s rejection of her son for admission. Oman brought that claim under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, seeking damages because the school rejected her son based on his disability.</p>
<p>But the 9th Circuit said that the Rehabilitation Act &#8220;does not compel educational institutions to disregard the disabilities of handicapped individuals or to make substantial modifications in their programs to allow disabled persons to participate, but merely requires them not to exclude a person who is otherwise qualified based upon his or her disability.&#8221;</p>
<p>The court said it was not unreasonable for the magnet school in Portland to require a minimum of 8th grade proficiency, which Oman&#8217;s son did not meet.</p></p>

<p>Local senior high school softball players are traveling to Ocala to participate in an all-star tournament at Lake Forest High on Frday and Saturday.</p>
<p>Broward County<span  style='display: none;'></span> will be represented on the South team by Pembroke Pines Charter pitcher Cristina Sacramento, a St. Thomas University signee who led Charter to the state title last week with an 18-strikeout, 1-hitter against Niceville in the championship game, St. Thomas Aquinas third baseman Christie Parsons, a Purdue signee, and University School right-handed pitcher Ashley Rey, who will be playing softball at Lamar University next year.</p>
<p>Aquinas coach Bryan Baucom will be the South coach and will be assisted by Pines Charter coach Tom Fadul.</p>
<p>Palm Beach County will have three players on the East team. Palm Beach Gardens High will suit up Florida signee Taylor Schwarz at first base and Central Florida signee and right-handed pitcher Shelby Turnier. Park Vista infielder Alexandra Ortiz, who will attend Nicholls State, rounds out the local contingent.</p>
<p>The East will play the West to kick things off on Friday at 6:30 p.m. The West squad is led by SEC signees Kirsti Merritt (Florida) and Jade Rhodes (Auburn). Rhodes is the daughter of former Marlin Arthur Rhodes.</p>
<p>    <br/>
<p>The South will then battle the North, the game scheduled for 8 p.m. The North also has a Florida signee (Taylore Fuller) and a future Auburn Tiger (Austyn West).</p>
<p>The losers of those games will play at 10 a.m. on Saturday morning, with the championship game between Friday&#8217;s winners immediately afterward.</p>

<p>FLINT, Michigan  Billionaire Bill Gates and his wife are sending two Flint high school seniors to college free of charge.</p>
<p>Northern High School&#8217;s Marcus Johnson and Southwestern Academy&#8217;s Elijah Noronha are heading have both been named Gates Millennium Scholars.</p>
<p>The prestigious scholarship covers all college costs as well as offers further funding for graduate school for 1,000 students each year.</p>
<p>The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation selects 1,000 Millennium Scholars each year.</p>
<p>The scholarship is awarded to minority students eligible for financial aid and is based on grades, extra-curricular work and an intensive application.</p>
</p>
<p>Johnson, 18, plans to study biology at the University of Michigan and then medical school to become a dermatologist.</p>
<p>On the essay portion of the scholarship application, Johnson remembers writing about what motivates him to succeed in school.</p>
<p>&#8220;My family,&#8221; Johnson said. &#8220;My little brother and sister. I want them to look up to me and be able to be better than me.&#8221;</p>
<p>Johnson currently has a 3.875 grade point average. Along with school work, he&#8217;s filled his time with the National Honor Society, community clean up work and other extra-curricular activities.</p>
<p>He never expected a free ride to the college of his choice.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was really excited,&#8221; he said of learning he&#8217;d been selected. &#8220;It took a while for it to settle.&#8221;</p>
<p><img src="http://www.school-funding-center.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/361927.jpg" />
<p>Noronha, who turns 18 on Tuesday, plans to study biology at the University of Detroit-Mercy and then head to dental school.</p>
<p>Expriences with a local orthodontist with a flare for philanthropy inspired him to pursue the field.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was not given the best of teeth, I guess you could say that,&#8221; Noronha said.</p>
<p>But the teen&#8217;s family couldn&#8217;t afford the serious dental work he needed, he said. A local orthodonist gave him the procedures free of charge.</p>
<p>&#8220;It really inspired me to be able to do that for someone else,&#8221; Noronha said.</p>
<p>Noronha, who holds a 3.95 g.p.a. said he was thrilled to land the scholarship.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was ecstatic, to say the least,&#8221; he said. &#8220;To find out that all the hard work and dedication throughout high school is paying off now, it&#8217;s really a great reward.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Great teachers build nations. They inspire, awaken and raise our children’s expectations. They coax imaginations and lead students to discovery. Teachers shape the next generation of decision-makers.</p>
<ul>
<ul>
<ul>
<li>the 50-50 chance they won’t last through their first four years,</li>
<li> the likelihood of underwhelming support and development,</li>
<li>a lifetime of low and moderate pay, and</li>
<li>the strong likelihood that they’ll reach a point where continuing to teach poses substantial financial hardship.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
<p>On this Teacher Appreciation Week, let’s think more meaningfully about what it means to appreciate teachers so that we build a profession that retains its best teachers and recruits the next generation of great talent.</p>
<p>True appreciation means understanding what teachers bring to the table and creating meaningful opportunities for them to contribute to the policies and practices that affect their school communities. Let’s engage teachers in policy more directly at all levels. Boston, Massachusetts leads with a strong example. Teachers who serve as Teach Plus Fellows there produced a policy paper advocating for evaluation systems that train evaluators effectively, include peer evaluators and identify high performers. At the district level, districts could create Teacher Advisory Committees where they regularly solicit teachers’ feedback on policies and programs. At the school level, principals could create hybrid roles for teachers, which would allow master teachers to direct new teacher training, perform research on best teaching practices, or design curriculum materials without being completely removed from the classroom. Let’s create a space in which teachers can truly engage in how our schools are run. That is true teacher appreciation.</p>
<p>The RESPECT Project and the growing movement to elevate the teaching profession is, as one educator in Rhode Island noted, our generation’s “moon landing moment.” This is the moment when we can rally the entire country around a grand vision to comprehensively remake our education system for the 21<sup>st</sup> century.</p>
<p>Now  teacher appreciation.</p>
</p>
<ul>                 </ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A pilot project at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst is supposed to help license teachers cheaply. Under a program developed by Stanford University and the education company Pearson, aspiring teachers submit material to outsiders who then, without ever seeing the students, determine whether or not student teachers can teach. Many teaching programs across the country are using this method. </p>
<p>But some students and professors at UMass object. According to an article by Michael Winerip at the <em>New York Times</em>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Sixty-seven of the 68 students studying to be teachers at the middle and high school levels at the Amherst campus are protesting a new national licensure procedure being developed by Stanford University with the education company Pearson.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>The UMass students say that their professors and the classroom teachers who observe them for six months in real school settings can do a better job judging their skills than a corporation that has never seen them.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>They have refused to send Pearson two 10-minute videos of themselves teaching, as well as a 40-page take-home test, requirements of an assessment that will soon be necessary for licensure in several states.</p></blockquote>
<p>Student-teachers object that this is a complicated concept and its hard for evaluators to understand teacher quality if they dont ever show up in the classroom. The procedure, which also requires aspiring teachers to learn video editing software, doesnt seem to be any more stringent or effective at evaluating teacher quality. </p>
<p>Four school districts training the UMass student-teachers also refused to participate. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The US Department of Justice has escalated its pursuit of corporations that violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and CFOs at multinational companies are on high alert about the situation. Concerns like this exemplify the assignments a CFO is likely to give accountants who enter corporate finance after they pass CPA examinations.</p>
<p>Last year, Lindsey Manufacturing was the first company tried and found guilty of violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Since then, the Justice Department has conducted inquiries against such big international operations as Johnson &#038; Johnson, Tyson Foods, Alcoa, and Diageo plc.</p>
<p>Some violations have been assessed and fines levied. Monetary penalties are likely to remain the standard following reversal of the Lindsey conviction along with the judgments against two executives at the company. Still, to avert complications, corporate CFOs are implementing compliance initiatives by deploying staff with expertise covered in CPA study.</p>
<p>In fact, avoiding vulnerability to violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act demands practices that adhere to superior auditing skills. An accountant typically develops audit experience as part of mandated CPA requirements. Subsequently, working in a corporate environment under a CFO will entail critical measures to avoid running afoul of such key legal matters as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.</p>
<p>The first step at multinational companies is review of the accounting at all foreign branches. CFOs rely upon a team to pursue audits of this nature by utilizing the details from CPA courses. The objective is assurance that all relationships with vendors or third-party agents are free of bribery and disallowed gifting. Auditing of acquired foreign companies is particularly important for US based corporations.</p>
<p>Next on the agenda for compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act is implementation of tracking procedures to simplify monitoring of potential violations. Early detection of such acts as insider trading or diversion of deposits held in trust is vital. Accountants are familiar with establishing these audit trails from their CPA study materials.</p>
<p>However, auditing techniques may comprise more than verification of financial figures. Other likely actions include extensive background checks, especially of key executives and board members. The aim is identification of previous lawsuits or regulatory disciplinary actions. Also on the agenda for Foreign Corrupt Practices Act compliance are creation of avenues for employees to give tips of suspicious behavior and procedures for investigating rumors. So, in addition to customary audit methods, corporate accountants can expect to monitor many functions within an organization.</p>

Herbalism is widespread today as improvements in clinical research demonstrated the importance of <a href="http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/herbal-medicine-000351.htm">herbal medicine</a> in the treatment and prevention of diseases. The use of herbal supplements has increased significantly over the past 45 years. That’s why more and more scientists begin to research this field. The most famous herbalists and naturopaths are:</p>
<ul style="padding-left: 5px;">
<li>Dr. Bernard Jensen</li>
<li><u><a href="https://plus.google.com/114350876755179404896/posts">Dr. Eric Bakker</a></u></li>
<li>Dr. Edward Shook.</li>
</ul>
<p>Herbs were used in supernatural rites in many native cultures, while other countries have created the conventional system of medicine in which plant based medicines are combined with <a href="http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/drugs/">drugs</a>. Scientists found that people in different parts of the planet tend to use the same or similar plants for treating similar symptoms.</p>
<p>At the end of the 18th century, when chemical analysis became available, chemists began to draw out and modify the active elements of plants. Later, the chemists started making their own version of plant elements, and with the lapse of time, the use of herbal medicines declined in favor of drugs.</p>
<p>Today 75% of people worldwide rely on plant based medicines for some of their primary health care. Over the past 30 years, public dissatisfaction with drugs in the combination with a growing interest in using of natural remedies, has led to increase in the use of herbal medicines for the prevention and cure. And modern naturopaths such as <a href="https://plus.google.com/114350876755179404896/about">Eric Bakker</a> prefer to combine natural methods of healing and conventional medicine.</p>
<p>In fact, specialists aren’t sure what specific element in a particular herb works to treat a condition or disease. Herbs contain many elements, and they can work together to produce the best healing effect. The herbs are necessary to nourish and balance the system.</p>

<p>Paul Ryans proposed budget has gotten a lot of press for its plans to massively cut multiple government programs. Liberals hate it. Some conservatives call it a good start.</p>
<p>Hes got other plans for budget cutting, it turns out. One of them, apparently, is a funding cut for a community college innovation that has the potential to be pretty effective. There is no explanation about why he thinks this is a good idea. According to a piece by Amy Laitinen at the <em>Quick and the Ed</em>:</p>
<blockquote><p>The White House recently announced the second round of funding for the $2 billion, uninspiringly-named Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grant program. This second $500 million round is a much more focused and reform-orientedand could make a real difference for students at community colleges. </p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Sadly, it looks like Paul Ryan, chair of the House Budget Committee, was one of those who did not read the second application. If he had, he may not have devised a plan (revealed yesterday) to eliminate this program in his 2013 budget proposal. This is unfortunate given that the program is a bright spot in an increasingly-bleak higher education landscapeone that has tremendous potential to change community college practices to help students quickly get the skills and credentials they (and the nation) desperately need.</p></blockquote>
<p>The TAACCCT program makes it easier for community college students to transfer credits from institutions and also creates a reasonably objective system for awarding college credits for prior learning.</p>
<p>Of the problems with the Ryan program, this is probably somewhat unlikely to inspire great anger. But the program seems reasonably promising. This is what happens with budgets; politicians cut things without regard to consequences, and real people suffer.</p>
<p>As Laitinen points out, however, the program was not exactly designed to inspire clarity and positive public reception. TAACCCT, really? How would a supporter trying to convince the House Budget Committee even pronounce that? </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday considered whether upholding the expansion of the Medicaid program in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act would give the federal government limitless powers to impose conditions on the states when they accept money in other areas, such as education.</p>
<p>The Medicaid question was the last one to be tackled by the justices in three historic days of arguments over the health-reform law championed by President Barack Obama. The court is also weighing the constitutionality of the individual mandate, which would require most uninsured Americans to obtain coverage or pay a penalty, and whether the rest of the law could survive if that provision were invalidated.</p>
<p>The briefs and arguments in <em>Florida </em>v. <em>Department of Health and Human Services</em>  also touched on the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, Title IX&#8217;s prohibition against sex discrimination in education, and related ideas as the justices weighed the scope of the authority of Congress to set conditions for the states when they accept federal funds.</p>
<p>The health-reform law calls for Medicaid to expand to cover any adult with income below 138 percent of the federal poverty line, not counting the elderly, who are covered by Medicare. This new group, which would cover many childless adults under Medicaid for the first time, would likely receive less comprehensive benefits than traditional Medicaid recipients. The federal government would initially cover 100 percent of the costs, though that will eventually decrease to 90 percent.</p>
<p>A group of 26 states, lead by Florida, challenged what their lawyer, Paul W. Clement, called a &#8220;massive expansion&#8221; of Medicaid law that was unconstitutionally coercive.</p>
<p>&#8220;There has to be some limit on coercion,&#8221; Clement said during the arguments. &#8220;This court&#8217;s entire spending power jurisprudence is premised on the notion that &#8230; Congress can do things pursuant to the spending power that it can&#8217;t do pursuant to its other enumerated powers precisely because the programs are voluntary.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Obama administration argues in its brief in the Medicaid case that the challenging states&#8217; theory would lead to legal challenges of other federal spending programs as too coercive.</p>
<p>The administration noted that Florida, the state leading the challenge, in 2008 received $728 million in federal Title I aid under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. In exchange for such funds, Florida and other recipients must comply with federal laws such as Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bars race discrimination in federal education programs, and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which bars discrimination based on sex.</p>
<p>The challenging states &#8220;observe that federal Medicaid grants are generally larger than other federal grants, but offer no principled basis for deciding whether other grants, too, might be large enough that the Constitution would require invalidation of the conditions Congress has attached to them,&#8221; the administration said in the brief.</p>
<p>In court on Wednesday, Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. offered U.S. Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli Jr., who was defending the Medicaid expansion, a hypothetical with echoes of the administration&#8217;s Race to the Top program, which requires states to adhere to certain school overhaul priorities as a condition of receiving education grants. </p>
<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s say Congress says this to the states: We have got great news for you; we know your expenditures on education are a huge financial burden, so we are going to take that completely off your shoulders,&#8221; Justice Alito said. &#8220;We are going to impose a special federal education tax which will raise exactly the same amount of money as all of the states now spend on education; and then we are going to give you a grant that is equal to what you spent on education last year.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Now, this is a great offer and we think you will take it,&#8221; Alito continued. &#8220;But of course, if you take it, it&#8217;s going to have some conditions because we are going to set rules on teacher tenure, on collective bargaining, on curriculum, on textbooks, class size, school calendar and many other things. So take it or leave it.&#8221;</p>
<p>The states could say no, but they would have to pay the federal education tax, plus come up with their own money to replace the federal education dollars they decline, Alito added. </p>
<p>&#8220;Would that be the point where financial inducement turns into coercion?&#8221; Alito said.</p>
<p>Verrilli said no because the states would still have the choice of whether to participate in such a program. And the program described by Alito was politically unlikely, he added.</p>
<p>&#8220;The states have their education system, and they can decide whether they are going to go in or not,&#8221; Verrilli said.</p>
<p>Earlier in the argument, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg asked Clement, the lawyer for the 26 states challenging the Medicaid program, whether Title IX&#8217;s application to colleges and universities was coercive.</p>
<p>&#8220;Most colleges and universities are heavily dependent on the government to fund their research programs and other things,&#8221; Justice Ginsburg said. &#8220;And that has been going on for a long time. And then Title IX passes, and a government official comes around and says to the colleges, you want money for your physics labs and all the other things you get it for, then you have to create an athletic program for girls. And the recipient says, I am being coerced, there is no way in the world I can give up all the funds to run all these labs that we have, I can&#8217;t give it up, so I&#8217;m being coerced to accept this program that I don&#8217;t want.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Why doesn&#8217;t your theory, if your theory is any good, why doesn&#8217;t it work any time someone receives something that is too good to give up?&#8221; Ginsburg said.</p>
<p>Clement said coercion was present only when Congress tries to do something through its Article I spending power that it could not do directly, and it is possible in theory that Congress could impose Title IX&#8217;s anti-discrimination protections under the 14th Amendment.</p>
<p>Ginsburg pointed out that the Supreme Court has never struck down a spending clause program as too coercive.</p>
<p>&#8220;I know that there are cases of ours that have said there is a line between pressure and coercion, but we have never had, in the history of this country or the court, any federal program struck down because it was so good that it becomes coercive to be in it.&#8221;</p>
<p>The court&#8217;s liberals were not inclined to make the Medicaid expansion the first such program, and while the court&#8217;s conservatives were harder to read, there seemed to be no overwhelming support for the states&#8217; challenge among them, either.</p>
<p>The case, along with the others involving the health-care law, is expected to be decided by the end of the court&#8217;s term in late June.</p>

<p class="small"> Jose Mesa Jr. sit in the team&#8217;s dugout with his father, former Major League Baseball player Jose Mesa Sr., before practice Wednesday <span class="credit">(<span class="photographer">Taimy Alvarez, Sun Sentinel</span> / <span class="dateMonth">March </span><span class="dateDay">21</span><span class="dateYear">, 2012</span></span>) </p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>      <span class="toolSet" >  <span class="byline">By Jason Stromberg, Sun Sentinel</span>    </span>  PEMBROKE PINES  Ask Pete Greenwood what he likes the most about Flanagan senior right-hander Jose Mesa Jr., and the assistant varsity baseball coach goes on and on with compliments about his ace hurler.</p>
<p> &#8220;He never stops smiling,&#8221; Greenwood said of Mesa Jr., who is the son of former Major League Baseball reliever Jose Mesa Sr. &#8220;He&#8217;s a kid you love having around. He&#8217;s like a big teddy bear. It&#8217;s refreshing to see. He really is the ultimate teammate.&#8221;</p>
<p> At 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds, Mesa Jr. (6-1 overall) has led the way for the Falcons. In 43 2/3 innings pitched, the Pembroke Pines resident has allowed only 10 hits, 24 walks, and seven earned runs, to go along with his 1.12 ERA and 0.78 WHIP (walks plus hits per innings pitched).</p>
<p> &#8220;What I love most about the game of baseball is that I&#8217;m always looking to improve,&#8221; said Mesa Jr., a native of the Dominican Republic, who started at Flanagan his sophomore season.</p>
<p>    <br/> &#8220;As soon as I got here, I&#8217;ve wanted to better myself. Just have 100 percent confidence and do my job.&#8221;</p>
<p> Mesa Jr. proved as such during his two no-hit outings against district opponents Cypress Bay and West Broward, which the Falcons won 5-0 and 9-0 respectively.</p>
<p> He went 19 consecutive innings without allowing a hit, before earning his lone loss of the season against Venice in Tampa.</p>
<p> In that 5-1 defeat, Mesa Jr. allowed only two hits in six innings of work.</p>
<p> &#8220;He has the arm strength,&#8221; said Falcons&#8217; manager Ray Evans, who has seen Mesa Jr. top out at 94 mph with his fast ball.</p>
<p> &#8220;He still has time to grow. We know that because of his make-up. He&#8217;s got a nice ceiling and he hasn&#8217;t hit it yet.&#8221;</p>
<p> Take away the facial hair and Mesa Jr. looks like a mirror image of his father, not only in physical stature, but in his pitching windup.</p>
<p> Mesa Sr. pitched for eight major league teams during his 19-year professional career, ranking 13th on the all-time career saves list with 321.</p>
<p> His 112 career saves ranks first all-time in Philadelphia Phillies history. The two-time AL All-Star won the 1995 AL Rolaids Relief Man of the Year award.</p>
<p> &#8220;I&#8217;m really happy and proud of him,&#8221; said Mesa Sr., whose older son Jesse Mesa played on the Falcons&#8217; state championship team in 2006.</p>
<p> &#8220;I enjoy coming over here to watch him play. I just get nervous when someone hits it near him. He&#8217;s a lot better now than I was at his age.&#8221;</p>
<p> Mesa Jr., who can consistently throw a slider and change-up to accompany his fast ball, is regularly caught by senior Rick Sanchez. In his first season catching Mesa Jr. — Broward County&#8217;s leader in strikeouts this season with 82 — Sanchez can&#8217;t wait to get behind the plate.</p>
<p> &#8220;I really like it,&#8221; Sanchez said.</p>
<p> &#8220;I don&#8217;t have to move back there. There&#8217;s not a lot of guys that can hit off him. He makes my job easy. He makes the adjustments and battles. After the game, I have to ice my hand because he&#8217;s throwing so hard consistently, but it&#8217;s worth it in the end because I know we can get the &#8216;W.&#8217; &#8220;</p>
<p> Flanagan (12-4, 9-0 District 12-8A) is gearing up for the postseason and Mesa will play a key role.</p>
<p> &#8220;I always see my dad watching in the stands, and if I get in a 2-0 count, I just look over and he tells me to stay focused,&#8221; Mesa Jr. said.</p>
<p> &#8220;I&#8217;m just like my dad. I try and do my best. This is pretty much what I was born to do.&#8221;     </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is it possible to avoid credit card debt with a payday loan without a checking account? </p>
<p>Millions of consumers in the US, suffered job loss and wage deduction after the recent economic meltdown. In this situation, many of the consumers failed to make payment and incurred insurmountable amount of debt. Your credit score might drop when you default on your payment. Therefore, you might not be successful in applying for a personal loan due to low credit score. In this situation, people usually apply for a payday loan. However, consolidate your debts in order to repair your credit report. If you are not aware of the debt relief programs available, then check the <a href="http://www.ovlg.com/reviews/" rel="nofollow">debt consolidation reviews</a> in the internet to get detail information. </p>
<p>It’s simple to apply for a payday loan and you can get this loan quite quickly. Unlike personal loan, you are not required to undergo credit check. Therefore, the loan will be deposited in your bank account within 24 hours of application. However, you are required to repair the credit report. In order to obtain the loan, you don’t need to provide personal financial information. </p>
<p>You can apply for a payday loan by filling out the application form on the internet. Therefore, it involves hassle free way to apply for a loan. If you find that the loan provider is continuously enquiring about your financial details, then look for another lender as you might be associated with a scammer. Make sure you shop for lenders in order to avail the best deal. So look for lenders who might provide you loan on affordable interest rate. </p>
<p>If you are planning to get rid of your credit card debt, then avoid using your credit card. So payday loan is a viable option for people to manage their unexpected expenses at the middle of the month. In case you default on your payment on payday loan, then you can further complicate your financial situation. Make sure that you pay off the owed amount on time in order to avoid financial hazards. </p>
<p>Remember, the banks will disapprove your loan application, if your credit score is low. Therefore, people with poor credit score usually apply for a payday loan to manage the expenses.                 </p>
<p>You can easily avoid using your credit card in case you apply for a payday loan. Therefore, it is possible to avoid your credit card by applying for a payday loan without a checking account. But keep in mind that you pay back the payday loan on time; otherwise it might complicate the financial situation.  </p>
