He pitched decently for both the Rangers and Marlins (he was once traded to Florida and back within 11 months) before committing himself to a strenuous conditioning and fitness program after the 1997 season. In 1998, his first full year as a starting pitcher, he won 20 games. He would pitch 12 seasons in the majors, compiling a record of 93-81 while earning more than $15 million...

...education, crafted by two ambitious immigrant parents, was a good deal ahead of its time. In 1994, I was one of the first young students of Stanford’s Education Program for Gifted Youth. A pioneering multimedia software program for teaching mathematics, EPGY has now grown into a full suite of distance learning products. I have consumed numerous multimedia education products over the years, from games to video lectures, which taught me more than I ever learned in any classroom. Bill Gates is a regular customer of the products of The Teaching Company, which sells the life changing lectures...
