Ingle coaching tree extends to new generation
Posted: at 7:09 am
Its said that timing is everything, and Israel Ingle can attest to that.
Five years ago, Ingle, the son of former Kennesaw State mens basketball coach Tony Ingle, was hired to restart the program at Gordon College, which had been dormant since 1993.
When I was coaching at Kennesaw State, the elder Ingle said, I suggested to the (Gordon) president that they should restart the basketball program and hire one of my assistants to get it going.
After all, Tony Ingle had a successful history with Gordon, a junior college in Barnesville, about halfway between Atlanta and Macon. He coached the Highlanders from 1985-88 and led the team to a 28-10 record and region runner-up finish in 1988.
By the time Gordon reinstated mens basketball, Ingles assistants had found other jobs. Instead, the administration turned to the next-best candidate.
They interviewed Israel while he was still a senior in college, the elder Ingle said. Hed been around basketball his entire life, so they felt he was ready for the responsibility, and so was I. In fact, he had the coaching job before he had the diploma.
Israel Ingle had followed his father around as Tonys coaching career unwound, from Gordon to Alabama-Huntsville to BYU and, finally, Kennesaw State. Israel even played four years for his father at Kennesaw State and was part of the Owls 2004 NCAA Division II national championship team.
The hire proved to be the right move for Gordon as Ingle has guided the Highlanders (26-7) on a 13-game winning streak and their first trip to the National Junior College Athletic Association Division I National Championship, which begins Tuesday in Hutchinson, Kan.
Its the first trip to the national tournament for Gordon in the programs on-and-off history of more than 50 years.
Behind the play of Jarvis Williams (18 points per game, 10.3 rebounds per game) and all-region selection Ryan Fleming (11 points, 4 assists), Gordon finished second in its Georgia Collegiate Athletic Association standings and got past Waycross 60-57 in the first round of the GCAA tournament March 6.

Health & Fitness: Get back on the wagon

You know how well youve been sticking to your New Years resolution.
Yep, the one that you promised yourself youd stick to this time. The one that if you had stuck to it, youd be summer ready already. Yeah, that one
Well, since its easy to put your goals aside while you take care of everybody else, lets take a look at some ways to make getting back on the wagon a smidge easier:
Schedule. Yes, schedule yourself in. You schedule time for the cable guy, the work meeting and your childs orthodontist appointment. You can make time for you.
Donate. That outfit you were saving because you looked so good in it three years ago, in college or even high school. Yeah, that one. Get rid of it. Donate it. Send it back into the universe. You arent the same person. Youve changed. Instead, set your sights on an outfit that represents who you want to be.
Turtle. I know its frustrating when the progress is slow. Remember, it was the turtle who won the race, not the rabbit. Be the turtle!
Family and friends. Jog while your child is riding a bike. Take your dog for a brisk walk. Meet your friends at the local track and walk or jog on the bleachers while you catch up on each others lives. Having the support of your family and friends can help motivate and inspire you while keeping you determined to achieve your goal.

Magic number for retirement
Posted: at 7:08 am
If you know how much money you need in the bank to comfortably retire, you're in the minority: Only one in 10 people makes such a calculation, according to the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies. That might explain why, on average, Americans are on track to replace 60% or less of their income during retirement. Financial advisers generally agree that retirees need to replace 80% or more.
That means someone who brings home an $80,000 salary at the peak of his working years should save enough before retirement to generate at least $64,000 a year in retirement. An investment, such as an annuity, that generates a 3% annual return would require savings of at least $2.1 million to throw off that sum annually. (Retirees can also supplement their income by continuing to work, as well as with Social Security payments and pensions.)
For those who fail to stash enough away in advance, the consequences can be dire: The federal government estimates that 12% of women and 7% of men over 65 live in poverty. Couples fare better than single seniors; the poverty rate is highest among divorced and widowed women, at 21% at 15%, respectively.
In fact, more than half of Americans report having less than $25,000 in savings and investments, according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute, a nonprofit research organization. Just 13% of workers now say they are "very confident" they will have a comfortable retirement. The first step to joining that more self-assured group is to figure out just how much money you'll need. Here are six easy ways to do just that:
1. Use a calculator. Online retirement calculators can estimate how much you should have in the bank before retirement. Figure out if you're on track, based on current savings rates, or if you need to ramp up. "That first calculation is as frightening as it is a good one to scare you half to death on how much you have to save if you live to 90," says Nobel Prize winner and Stanford professor William Sharpe. (Are you saving enough for retirement? Check MSN Money's calculator.)
2. Take a shortcut to generate a ballpark figure. John Ameriks, head of Vanguard's investment counseling and research group, recommends estimating the amount you need in retirement by multiplying your current salary by 12. "People shouldn't get too comfortable until they have a number that's 12 or more times their current salary, so $600,000 for $50,000," he says.
3. Save 18%. That's the savings rate a medium earner ($43,084 in 2010) would need if he or she starts saving at age 35 and plans to retire at age 68 (assuming a 4% return on investments), according to Boston College's Center for Retirement Research. The center issued a brief that provides savings rates based on a variety of factors, including retirement age, rate of return, income and the age that contributions begin. (The savings rates would allow retirees to replace 80% of their working salaries, and the calculations factor in Social Security income.) The Employee Benefit Research Institute reports that on average, employees contribute just 7.5% of their income to their retirement accounts.
The analysis found that the two most important factors for creating a retirement nest egg are one's savings rate and the age of retirement. "If people could work until they're 70, they would have a much higher chance of having a secure retirement. Social Security is higher if you wait until age 70, and it gives your 401k assets a longer chance to grow, and it reduces the number of years you have to support yourself," says Alicia Munnell, the center's director. Less important was the rate of return earned on investments.
