Will the Mets Finally Have a Winning Season?

Long-suffering Met fans remember all too well the last time the Mets actually had a winning season -- way back in 2008. The problem is not only the obvious -- that winning season was seven long years ago -- but that the 2008 Mets were the second greatest choke team of all time. The greatest choke team of all time was the 2007 Mets, yes, only a year earlier. That was the team that blew a seven game lead with 17 games to play, the biggest folderoo in baseball history. That 2008 team was almost as bad. So... will the 2015 Mets, with all that great young pitching, finally produce a winning season? Stay tuned.

Proxy Solicitation is Interesting Work

Without much of a background in high finance, I have taken to working as a proxy solicitor for Georgeson Financial Services and D.F. King Teleservices. I have learned about annual meetings, prospecti and such, but mainly I just solicit votes from shareholders. It is my job to make the case for the point of view of the board of directors, but shareholders can vote any way they please.

This link provides a good primer for the process:

Good Article on the Importance of Correct English Composition

I always emphasize good English composition and here is a nice excerpt about it.

No matter what the situation or setting, the words you choose say something about you. Whether in casual conversation with a new acquaintance or in a cover letter to a prospective employer, correct English grammar conveys education and intelligence. It says you have the ability to express yourself clearly. When you speak, others will understand you and will pay attention to the content, rather than being jarred and distracted by poor grammar. When you write, others will take pleasure in the clarity of what you've written. You may worry that using correct grammar will make you sound snobby and set you apart from your friends. But it isn't necessary to communicate in a stilted, formal manner or pepper your speech with so-called ten-dollar words that require a dictionary to decipher. Just say what you want to say, but say it correctly.

A Good Primer on Phonics

Teaching Phonics to Help Children with  Learning Problems

It is impossible for the classroom teacher to teach all children all of the words that they need to learn in order to read with ease. While we want children to develop a good solid sight vocabulary so that they do not need to sound out every single word they come across in their reading, we also need to prepare children to be able to sound out words that is not a part of their sight vocabulary when they are faced with unknown words in their reading.

When discussing the reading problems of poor readers, it is not uncommon to hear, "Well, if he hasn't learned to sound out words by now, he'll never learn!" That is a bold statement that simply is not true. All children, even those with serious learning skill deficiencies can and should learn the skills needed to sound out words.
