The outflows I had from the funds never rose to a troublesome or disruptive level. To be clear, I'm never happy when people sell the funds, but it hasn't caused any unusual problems. Actually, I think outflows drive focus and discipline.  

Teams such as the Buffalo Bills don't necessarily need to catch lightning in a bottle when they make mid-season coaching changes. In the past some Lemon aide proved to be the winning formula and the recipe for immediate success. That certainly was the case in 1977 when the New York Yankees fired the fiery Billy Martin for the first, though certainly not for the last and only, time and replaced him as manager with the mildmannnered Bob Lemon.  

The Yankees gathered for a trip through the Canyon of Heroes Friday, celebrating their World Series victory with more than a million of their closest friends.

Seven New York City school teachers were recently honored with the first annual Sloan Awards for Excellence in Teaching Science and Mathematics. The award, sponsored by the Fund for the City of New York and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation , is given to high school teachers who inspire students to pursue careers in science and mathematics. Teachers receive awards ranging from $5,000 to $7,500, while their schools get $2,500 for their science or math programs.

Joe Torre may be telling the media how happy he is that the Yankees won the World Series, but he bashed George Steinbrenner - again - in the Los Angeles Times, comparing The Boss to Torre's abusive father.  

The statue isn't doing so hot, either, lying on its side-one of its shattered antlers in five pieces-until Brye can round up friends to get it upright.  

A down-on-his-luck Derek Jeter was wandering the Coney Island boardwalk on Thursday afternoon, but it was all for show -- the Yankees captain is playing himself in the upcoming movie "The Other Guys." According to a synopsis in the New York Post, Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg play police officers who are taken off the streets after Wahlberg's character wrongly shoots Jeter in the leg after seeing him walk around with a bat. The scene shot at Nathan's Famous on Thursday takes place years later, when a
