Borree takes over Gremlins
Posted: March 21, 2012 at 6:27 pm
HOUGHTON - Karl Borree has been chosen to take over Houghton High School's varsity football head coaching position.
His hiring was confirmed by the Houghton-Portage Township Schools Board of Education Monday.
"I've really loved football my whole life, and being up here, I was just waiting for the right opportunity where I thought I could help," he said.
That love of football is something that has carried Borree through a playing career at Northern Michigan University and coaching in several stops, including at Michigan Tech, where he was an assistant under Bernie Anderson from 1992-2001.
Borree, a specifications coordinator at Horner Sports Flooring in Dollar Bay, also served the last two seasons as an assistant coach in Hancock's program.
Transferring that love of the game into the Gremlin program is a priority for Borree as he establishes his mark.
"I always had a lot of fun playing football and I have fun coaching it, and I think it's important for the players to have fun," he said.
Borree takes over for Marc Sanko, a Michigan Tech student who was head coach for one season before leaving the area for graduate school. He is the fourth HHS coach in the last five seasons.
It's still nearly five months until fall practices kick off in August, so Borree said talk of tactics will wait until he has a better handle on his team's strengths and weaknesses and can reinforce the fundamentals.
"Especially in high school, you try to fit your offense and your defense to your personnel as best you can," he said.

Retirement commissioner seeking increase
Posted: at 6:26 pm
TOM PULLAR-STRECKER
Retirement Commissioner Diana Crossan has labelled her $5.8 million budget "pathetic", telling MPs the commission needed three times as much money.
Crossan later upped that to "20 times", while acknowledging that was probably how many people felt about budgeting for retirement.
She is not alone in pleading poverty.
Chief ombudsman Beverley Wakem said last month that the Office of the Ombudsmen was in crisis and appealed for an extra $1m to be added to its $8.6m budget.
Privacy Commissioner Marie Shroff last month told Justice Minister Judith Collins that its $3.4m budget had not increased since 2006 and rapid growth in ICT and online activity was "placing pressure on its regulatory, policy and communications capabilities".
Appearing in front of a select committee yesterday, Crossan said that if the Commission for Financial Literacy and Retirement Income had more money, the first place she would put it would be in schools.
"The Australians announced last year that $10m would go into teaching financial education in schools over the next three years. We get nothing in particular for this."
The Bankers Association and the Young Enterprise Trust had helped develop teaching resources and the commission had partnered with banks to provide education to schoolchildren, but Crossan said she believed financial literacy would best be taught by "ordinary classroom teachers".
ASB Bank's retail general manager, Ian Park, said it had helped 175,000 schoolchildren learn basic money management skills since it launched its free "GetWise" programme two years ago and last year doubled the number of "classroom facilitators" to six.

Retirement Secrets of Successful Investors
Posted: at 6:26 pm
What can we learn about retirement planning from successful investors? Plenty! Bank of America and Merrill Lynch recently published their Affluent Insights Survey of 1,000 investors with assets of $250,000 or more, and the results are indeed insightful.
Any time successful people are willing to share their point of view, I'm interested to see what I can learn. You'll see that these secrets aren't rocket science and can be used by anybody, not just the privileged, to get ahead financially. In fact, these "secrets" are just common sense, offering guidelines on what to do -- and not do -- when it comes to your money. Let's take a look.
Secret No. 1: Redefine retirement
The successful investors consulted for the survey are changing the definition of retirement. Almost three-fourths of respondents who aren't yet retired view this upcoming life stage as a second act during which they plan to work full or part time. Almost 30 percent intend to cycle between work and leisure, 22 percent plan to work at a job they enjoy more than the one they currently have, and 14 percent want to continue working part time in their current job.
About one in four define retirement as never working again, while only 14 percent define retirement as hitting a certain age.
Secret No. 2: Make lifestyle tradeoffs
If given the choice, half of the affluent Americans surveyed who are not yet retired would rather retire later than make tradeoffs in their lifestyle now. But 81 percent would choose to reduce their standard of living when push comes to shove -- as it most certainly will, even for affluent investors. The survey respondents reported a variety of actions they'd be willing to take; each of the following actions would be taken by one-fourth to one-third of the survey respondents:
-- Trim day-to-day expenses -- Buy fewer luxuries -- Limit vacations -- Cut back on entertainment -- Keep the same car longer -- Leave less of an inheritance -- Downsize their home
I contend that these actions won't ruin their lives. Even if they have to implement some of these strategies in order to save enough for retirement, they'll still enjoy a good life.
Secret No. 3: Plan for retirement

HP Confirms Printer, PC Groups Merger
Posted: at 6:25 pm
The merged division will not be called the Printing and Personal Systems Group.
HP has confirmed reports that it plans to shove its Imaging and Printing Group (IPG) division into the Personal Systems Group (PSG) lead by Todd Bradley. The combined entity will officially be called the Printing and Personal Systems Group, and as reported on Tuesday, Vyomesh Joshi, executive vice president of IPG, will be leaving the company.
On Wednesday HP said that Joshi will be retiring after a 31-year career at HP. Under Joshis leadership, IPG has grown revenue from $19 billion to $26 billion, and doubled its operating profit to approximately $4 billion.
"VJ embodies the spirit of HP and his impact on the company has been tremendous," said Meg Whitman, president and chief executive officer, HP. "Under his leadership, IPG accelerated innovation and pioneered solutions that transformed the printing market. We wish him the very best as he embarks on a new chapter in his life."
The newly christened Printing and Personal Systems Group (PPSG) is part of HP's "organizational realignment" to improve performance and drive profitable growth across the entire HP portfolio. HP said that combining these two entities will rationalize HPs go-to-market strategy, branding, supply chain and customer support worldwide.
"This will lead to a better customer experience and drive innovation across personal computing and printing," the company explained on Wednesday. "This realignment is expected to provide opportunities for cost savings and accelerate HPs ability to pursue profitable growth and reinvest in the business."
In addition to the new PPSG, HP said it is also taking steps to unify and streamline certain key business functions. The Global Accounts Sales organization will join the HP Enterprise Group led by David Donatelli which now includes Enterprise Servers, Storage, Networking and Technology Services.
HP also plans to unify its Marketing functions across business units under Marty Homlish, executive vice president and chief marketing officer. HPs Communications employees worldwide will be similarly unified under Henry Gomez, executive vice president and chief communications officer. The company is even moving the Global Real Estate function from Finance into Global Technology and Business Processes.
"Ensuring we have the right organizational structure in place is a critical first step in driving improved execution, and increasing effectiveness and efficiency," Whitman stated. "The result will be a faster, more streamlined, performance-driven HP that is customer focused and poised to capitalize on rapidly shifting industry trends."
