Obama nominations heavy on ex-prosecutors
President Obama's liberal supporters have been dismayed by some of his judicial appointments, and now they can cite statistics: Obama has nominated former prosecutors more often than either Ronald Reagan or George W. Bush.
In Reagan's two terms, 40.8 percent of the judges he appointed had once been prosecutors. Bush, who like Reagan sought to move the judiciary in a more conservative direction, chose ex-prosecutors for 44.7 percent of his judicial appointments. The figures were 37.3 percent for Bush's father, George H.W. Bush, and 40.7 percent for Bill Clinton.
Obama, who began his second term Jan. 21, has appointed or nominated 219 federal judges, of whom 100 - 45.7 percent - were former prosecutors, according to statistics compiled by the Alliance for Justice.
By contrast, 33 nominees, all but three of them at the trial court level, had been public defenders. Even fewer had worked as poverty or civil rights lawyers.
U.S. District Judge Edward Chen of San Francisco is one of only two Obama judicial appointees with a background in civil rights law. Chen was an American Civil Liberties Union attorney from 1985 to 2001, then spent a decade as a federal magistrate before winning Senate confirmation to the bench in a close vote.
Eight others have been legal aid lawyers, including one Bay Area nominee, Justice Department attorney William Orrick III, who represented poor clients in Georgia from 1979 to 1984.
His nomination to the federal court in San Francisco ran into opposition last year from Republicans, who labeled him a Democratic "operative," and never reached the Senate floor, prompting Obama to renominate him last month.
Overall, according to the Alliance for Justice report, Obama had 75 percent of his judicial nominees confirmed in his first term, compared with 88 percent for George W. Bush and 84 percent for Clinton.
Racial, gender diversity
While Obama has chosen most of his judges from the same sources as other presidents - private attorneys, prosecutors and other government lawyers, state judges and federal magistrates - he has taken historic steps in the areas of racial and gender diversity:
-- More than 41 percent of his nominees have been women, far exceeding any of his predecessors. His Supreme Court appointees, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, are the third and fourth female justices in the court's history, and Sotomayor is the first Hispanic.
-- Obama's selections of 18 percent African Americans, 12 percent Latinos and 7 percent Asians as federal judges are also the highest on record.
-- Only one openly gay or lesbian federal judge had ever been appointed before Obama took office. He has nominated eight, of whom three have been confirmed and four are pending in the Senate.
The eighth, attorney Edward DuMont, who would have been the first openly gay judge on a federal appeals court, withdrew his nomination in 2011, citing opposition by unidentified Republicans.
Sotomayor's background as a former assistant district attorney in New York also serves as a reminder that not all prosecutors are cut from the same cloth. Her liberal voting record contrasts with the conservatism of the Supreme Court's other former prosecutor, Samuel Alito, who was once the U.S. attorney in New Jersey.
Clue to judge's ideology
Still, prosecutorial experience often provides evidence of a judge's ideology, said Sheldon Goldman, a political science professor at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst and author of studies on presidential appointees to the courts. He said Obama has nominated ex-prosecutors more often than any president since Dwight Eisenhower.
"Whether someone is more law-and-order-oriented tends to (show) whether that individual is more conservative overall," Goldman said. One apparent reason for Obama's judicial selections, he said, is a belief that former prosecutors will have an easier time winning Senate confirmation.
Nevertheless, some members of Obama's liberal base say he should start casting a wider net.
"The time has come in the second term to make an issue of professional diversity" on the bench, said Nan Aron, founder and president of the Alliance for Justice, a coalition of civil rights and consumer organizations.
The lack of diversity in the backgrounds of federal judges "contributes to judicial indifference to cases filed by public-interest, civil rights and union and worker plaintiffs," Aron said.
While Republican presidents have stocked the courts with conservatives, Obama "has focused on finding nonideological or middle-of-the-road candidates," Herman Schwartz, a liberal American University law professor, wrote in the most recent issue of the Nation magazine.
Seeking 'safe credentials'
Obama, Schwartz added in an interview, is inherently cautious, faces determined Republican opposition, and apparently shares the view of many Democrats that "change, reform, activism come not from the courts but from the legislature" or Congress. Orin Kerr, a more conservative law professor at George Washington University, gave a similar assessment.
"I think he's generally been looking for nominees with safe credentials," Kerr said. "Some presidents see (court appointments) as a really big issue, and some don't," apparently including Obama, he said.
When a few judicial candidates proved to be controversial - such as Goodwin Liu, the UC Berkeley law professor whose federal appeals court nomination was blocked by a Senate filibuster in May 2011 - Obama "could have pushed, but he had other things he was more interested in," Kerr said.
Gov. Jerry Brown later appointed Liu to the California Supreme Court, where he has compiled a moderately liberal record.

New Cocoa mayor iffy on saggy pants ban
Mayor Henry Parrish believes ban could have high costs, legal fights
COCOA, Fla. – The newly elected Cocoa mayor said the city council should reconsider the law banning saggy pants before it goes into effect Jan. 1.
Local 6 news partner Florida Today reports mayor Henry Parrish is concerned the measure could lead to a costly legal fight if the ordinance is contested in court.
"We are asking for trouble," Parrish told Florida Today. "I believe this would open the city to a big lawsuit. Defending it is going to cost taxpayers a lot of money."
Parrish called for a special meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday for the council to reconsider the ordinance that will ban pants or skirts that expose underwear or skin more than 3 inches below the waistline.
The law would only be enforced on streets, sidewalks and other city property. Although it was passed in October, enforcement was delayed to educate the community about the ordinance.
Two of the three council members who voted in favor of the ordinance, Mike Blake and Jake Williams, were replaced after the November election by Parrish and Councilwoman Brenda Warner.
The mayor wants the opportunity to decide on the ordinance before it goes in to effect.
City Attorney Anthony Garganese was asked to prepare an ordinance to repeal the law in case the council makes that decision Tuesday.
The president of the Central Brevard Branch of the NAACP, Alberta Wilson, has lobbied for overturning the ordinance.
"I am adamantly against young people walking around looking like that, it is degrading," Wilson told Florida Today. "However, that does not allow any municipality or any other government entity to infringe people's civil rights."
The ordinance calls for a civil fine of $25 for first written citation after an initial verbal warning from police or code enforcement staff.
Wilson feels the law creates unreasonable probable cause for law enforcement to engage individuals on the street.
The mayor also is worried that enforcement could be seen as profiling.
"I believe if we let it go into law, it is going to put us in a position where we are going to be perceived as possibly stereotyping individuals," Parrish said.

Cloud-Native Architecture Helps Gaming Companies Meet Rigorous Scaling and Performance Demands
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Jan 30, 2013) - Joyent, the high-performance cloud infrastructure company, today released new metrics that highlight its continued dominance in the world of mobile and social gaming. Built for performance, reliability and real-time elastic scaling, Joyent is the only provider able to meet the demands of today's modern gaming providers. New case studies from Digital Chocolate, Mob Science and Sleepy Giant showcase how gaming companies can improve the gamer experience, while dramatically reducing cost per daily active user (DAU) by capitalizing on Joyent's performance-based infrastructure.
Modern gaming on mobile and social platforms brings with it a certain amount of uncertainty. A moderately successful game on Facebook can draw several thousand DAUs, while a hit could ramp up from thousands to millions of DAUs in a matter of days, making it difficult for companies to anticipate or manage such unpredictable user and data intensive workloads. Joyent's highly elastic cloud infrastructure is built to accommodate unpredictable traffic bursts in a way that other cloud infrastructures can't, allowing companies to scale dynamically based on the needs of their business instead of having to overprovision servers by up to 50 percent in anticipation of success. This helps social gaming companies keep cost per DAU down, ultimately making games profitable.
Unlike traditional hardware-virtualized cloud computing infrastructure, which address application performance issues simply by asking customers to spend more on servers in anticipation of demand, Joyent's cloud-native architecture was built from the ground up with performance and application scaling in mind. The Joyent architecture virtualizes machines at the operating system level to manage compute, storage and networking resources in secure SmartOS zones. OS-based virtualization is orders of magnitude more cost effective and higher performing than hardware-based virtualization methods. In addition, these zones uniquely enable instant CPU bursting to smoothly handle spikes in demand. This eliminates the need to over-provision and overpay for virtual machines to accommodate unpredictable spikes in demand.
Though options exist from other cloud providers like Amazon Web Services and Microsoft, Joyent offers a competitive advantage for today's mobile and social gaming companies. This helps them meet even the most rigorous demands while also achieving cost savings, performance increases and enhanced support options. Results from leveraging the Joyent Cloud include:
"Modern gaming companies that leverage social and mobile platforms cannot operate without an enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure that can handle huge spikes in usage without lag or downtime," said Jason Hoffman, CTO, Joyent. "Joyent is built from the ground up to handle the most challenging performance and cloud uptime demands. And because we're built from the start as a cloud-native architecture, gaming companies especially don't have to worry about the costs associated with high performance."

About Joyent:
Joyent is the high-performance cloud infrastructure company offering enterprises and developers the best public, and hybrid cloud infrastructure for today's demanding real-time web and mobile applications. Joyent delivers public cloud services to some of the most innovative companies in the world, including LinkedIn, Major League Baseball and Voxer. Node.js, the open source server-side JavaScript project developed and sponsored by Joyent, provides developers and enterprises such as Comcast Labs, Microsoft and Wal-Mart with the most powerful runtime for developing data-intensive, real-time apps.

Forget the desktop: web designers should think mobile first
Every morning I wake up too early, reach for my iPad, and scan the morning's tech headlines. This is a pathetic enough existence, but the websites I frequent aren't helping.
Take the tech-news behemoth TechCrunch, a site that almost always causes my tablet to go haywire. First, slowly, elements load in an order that makes no sense — the body text appears first, then the site's top and right-side navigation bar shows up, and only then, after many excruciating seconds, does the headline appear. At this point I'm mildly annoyed, but look, the story's up — so I try to calm down and begin to read. But then, a half second or so after the page loads, the story's text and headline suddenly disappear. What?! Why would the story appear and then disappear?
If you're lucky, the disappearance lasts only a second. The story comes back, you figure there's some kind of bug, and you forgive TechCrunch's designers, because, hey, when they created their site, they were making something for traditional PCs, and here you are accessing the page on some kind of weirdo tablet. But sometimes you're not lucky, and the text will flash on, off, and on again, and then the whole site will disappear and you'll get an advertisement for TechCrunch's iPad app. In order to read the story you've got to click a tiny link dismissing the advertisement. By now you've spent nearly 10 seconds waiting for the story, your blood's boiling, and you're ready to blackball TechCrunch forever.
But you can't do that. If you started blackballing sites because they didn't work very well on the iPad, you'd end up dismissing half the web. TechCrunch's mobile experience isn't great, but it's not uniquely terrible. From The New York Times to The New Yorker to Google News to Salon and, yes, even Slate, many news sites look and feel lousy when you access them through tablet devices. But it's not just news sites; even big-time web operations like Amazon.com don't look great on the iPad.
The problem is that much of the web is just too overcrowded for tablet displays. When you load up a site on your iPad, you're often presented with a crush of text, pictures and videos that are jammed up together. Sites are powered by code that's too slow and buggy for small devices, they're stuffed with buttons and links that are too small to hit with a finger, and their pictures don't look good on super-high-definition tablet displays. The basic problem is that designers have done very little to accommodate the tablet — they may have slightly tweaked their pages for the iPad, but often only as an afterthought to a primary site that was designed for laptops and desktops.
It's time for that to change. The iPad is three years old, and its rise seems unstoppable. And the iPad isn't alone — Google's Nexus 7, Amazon's Kindle Fire and soon perhaps Microsoft's Surface will become big sources of web traffic. The web needs to catch up with these devices. Designers should create sites that don't just accommodate tablets but prioritise them. In fact, they ought to think of tablets first when they're creating new sites. Only after building pages for 7- and 9-inch touchscreens should they tweak their sites for desktop browsers.
Why prioritise tablets? It's not just because the iPad and its kin are quickly becoming the main way we navigate the web. (According to several measures, mobile devices account for more than 10 per cent of web traffic, and these numbers are continually growing.) It's also because the constraints imposed by tablets — small screens and relatively low bandwidth and processing power — make for better websites even on desktop devices. Well-designed mobile sites are often faster, prettier, and easier to navigate than their desktop counterparts. If designers created for tablets first, the whole web would get better.
Note that I'm not calling on sites to merely create tablet or smartphone-optimised alternatives to their desktop versions. Lots of sites do this, but because many firms don't have the resources to maintain two or three completely separate designs, their tablet and smartphone versions often feel like poor step-cousins. They don't offer all of the functionality of the primary site — for instance, Slate's smartphone version doesn't load reader comments — and when designers make improvements to their sites, they often go to the desktop version first.
This is understandable: For most sites, desktop views account for the bulk of traffic and advertising revenue. What's more, the mobile web is new and still in flux — there are lots of different phones and tablets with varying technological capabilities, and designers aren't used to creating compelling sites for them. Then there's the money problem. The entire web advertising industry is built around the desktop browser, and tablet-friendly web design isn't very accommodating of the kinds of distracting, interactive ads that now fuel the web.
For all these reasons, web companies should focus on building a unified experience that can work across every gadget. In an ideal world, the mobile site wouldn't be an offshoot of the desktop site — the desktop site would be the same as the mobile site, a clean, quick-loading page that looked good on every gadget.
This isn't a radical proposal. Many web designers build their sites according to this principle — Jason Kottke and John Gruber's blogs were designed for desktop browsers, but because they load quickly and aren't cluttered by extraneous elements, they look like they were built with mobile devices in mind. As BuzzFeed's John Herrman points out, several new web start-ups have mimicked these minimalist designs, including the blogging platforms Svbtle and Medium, a discussion site called Branch, and the subscriber-only Twitter alternative App.net. All these sites look like they were created with the iPad in mind and then ported to the desktop. Not coincidentally, they are all also beautiful and intuitive to navigate.
Of course, it's easy for a well-funded start-up to prioritise the mobile web. Established sites that rely on advertising can't jump to mobile devices as easily. But they ought to try.

Party Planning
Decide as a group what type of event you want. Determine the cost, location and if the event will be open or closed. These decisions are best made by the entire group as opposed to one or two select individuals.
Have a Event Plan
This contains the details regarding how you will manage the event. It also will serve as a record to help future events hosts plan their events.
Pick a Date
Confirm with the University Calendar that your event does not conflict with holidays, major campus events or another event in or near the party site.
Create a Budget
Include both income and expenses, as well as the costs of advertising, the facility (deposit, rental and cleaning), entertainment, security services, decorations, food and beverages, contingency (damages, lost deposit, etc.).
Create a Timeline
Set firm deadlines for your planning such as reserving space, completing paperwork and putting up flyers.
Find a Location – SEORF
Use the resource list included at the end of this brochure to help you find a location for your event. Be sure to promptly complete all paperwork required to reserve that space. Paperwork required is the Special Event Occupancy Request Form (SEORF), or the Solicitation Permit, and/or other special forms needed by a particular location e.g. the chapel.
Create a Theme
Themes can really add to the excitement of the event. This helps determine the types of music, food, games, and activities you might choose. If you are planning a event with a cultural theme, it is important that it be respectful of that culture.
Decorations should reflect your theme. All decorations used shall be made from a nonflammable material, or shall be treated and maintained in a flame-retardant condition. Exits, exit lights, fire alarm sending stations, smoke detectors, sprinklers and fire extinguishers shall not be concealed, in whole or in part, by any decorative material. Any decorations or construction, especially if they alter entrances and exits, are not permitted unless approved by the Campus Fire Marshal. Flammable materials such as hay, paper panels, sheets, tree branches and green foliage shall not be used as decorations unless properly treated with a flame retardant material and approved by the Campus Fire Marshal. Do not cut tree or palm branches or other foliage without prior permission! Unless approved (Environmental Health & Safety), the use of tiki torches and fog machines are specifically prohibited. If the event will be held at a campus residence and extensive decorations are being used, please contact the Housing Supervisor for that location two weeks prior to the event to review your decoration plan. This will help ensure safety to all attendees and prevent damage to the facilities.
If you advertise your event, please remember that alcohol is not permitted. List all entrance requirements so that attendees know what to expect before they come to your event. All off-campus advertising must get Office of Student Engagement approval before being printed.
Wristbands may be used to identify individuals. They can be used to identify those who have, for instance, signed a waiver before using some equipment (e.g. inflatable's). This can help the risk assumed by the party hosts.
For more information about the waiver please contact the Office of Student Engagement (936)261-1340.
Notify your nearby neighbors (Community Assistants and neighboring residences and surrounding houses) about any planned events.
Serve Food
Good food can make your event great! Please check with Sodexo Campus Services (936)261-1770, and EHS (936)261-1745 for advice.
Comply with Laws and Regulations
Every organization member and guest is assumed to be aware of all applicable University, local, state and federal laws and regulations.
Injuries and Emergencies
For minor injuries, immediately take the individual to the Owens/Franklin Health Center. If the injury appears to be more serious, such as neck or back injuries, immediately call 911.
You are expected to comply with the noise restrictions. For indoor events, operate at the accepted levels and be sensitive as to where the sound is being played. For instance, music in the lobby of the MSC should not interfere with the daily operations of the area.
If you are planning an outdoor event, take extra care so that your noise does not disturb normal operations in the surrounding offices. Times during which such activities take place and may disrupt normal business operations will be restricted by the Office of Student Engagement (936)261-1340.
Make sure you have an adequate crew for clean-up. (Plan for greater numbers than you need.) Clean the areas inside and outside the party area immediately after it is over. Poor housekeeping conditions may result in a citation, and the organization/party may be charged for extra clean up outside the normal operations of the facility. Charges will be incurred for additional custodial service needed to restore cleanliness.
Contact the Grounds Department (936)261-9711 for extra trash receptacles when you have an outdoor event, e.g. Hump Day. Overtime charges may be incurred if the service is requested after normal business hours (8:00am-5:00pm). Smart scheduling will help in avoiding this.
Check for Facility Damages
Do a walk-through of the party area prior to, and immediately after the event (both inside and outside) and note any possible damages. If the facility is not yours, notify your advisor and the Facility Manager, to assess the damage, and come to a mutual agreement. Please resolve the matter within 48 hours of the event. Failure to do so may result in additional damage charges and penalties to the offending party.
Injuries and Emergencies
If injuries occur, inform your advisor immediately, and report it to the appropriate University entity. Make the necessary call, as determined by the nature of the emergency.
Evaluate and Revise Your Event Plan
After the party, do an evaluation of your event and make any notes on changes you wish to incorporate in planning future events. Document and pass on the information to future social chairs or others in the organization leadership. This will help your organization grow in its programming capacity.

Real change...
... for the better.
But when we think of "change," most of us think of transformation, conversion, correction, or plotting a new course for our healthcare system....
... not adding monetary change to profit centers for hospitals.
So imagine my surprise when across this press release from our newly-christened Democratic Presidential nominee that contained a little pork-spending for a hospital in my state to put up (are you ready for this?) new equipment in a cardiac electrophysiology laboratory.
Okay, let me get this straight.
Cardiovascular disease in virtually every hospital in America is a profit center that helps support other budget-neutral or budget-negative programs. As a case in point, this particular medical center, according to it's Guidestar non-profit Form 990 tax return, performed 4,452 procedures in its labs and spent over $50 million dollars on its "Cardiovascular Product Line" in 2006 and received some $404 million in payments for healthcare rendered.
So why on earth do they decide to tap a political figure for an "earmark" of another $1 million dollars? Well, it seems they do it because they can:
"The Advanced Flatplate Cardiac Catheterization/ Electrophysiology laboratory in Springfield, IL, would perform advanced cardiac catheterizations and interventions, cardiac electrophysiological and mapping studies, and ablation therapy to treat abnormal electrical functions of the heart. The new flatplate delivers less radiation to the patient, produces sharper and clearer images that enhance diagnostic and treatment capabilities, and has the ability to produce 3-D imaging for improved detection and mapping of diseased vessels."Mind you, in a state teetering on bankruptcy, this request is not to funnel state dollars to bring services to an underserved area or save a financially teetering hospital that a community depends on. Rather, this earmark is aimed at a flourishing regional medical center that already has an electrophysiology laboratory with a second laboratory at the neighboring hospital several blocks away. No, this "earmark" is just to upgrade their equipment. And while they're at it, they decided to ask for upgraded Vascular Lab equipment, too, to the tune of another $1.8 million dollars:
Funding would enable equipment upgrades for vascular disease diagnostics and screening. This would allow Memorial Hospital to offer screening and diagnostic tests for earlier intervention and care locally.Never mind there has been no proof to date that such screening prevents disease or limits costs.
Remember, too, that new capital equipment like this can be depreciated on their tax return and that patients' Medicare payments contain a specific "technical" fee component to pay for such capital equipment and its staffing when they have procedures in the laboratory already. Yep, that's right. When you have your procedure, a portion of the money pays your doctor, but a much larger portion pays the hospital for all of the lab equipment and overhead inherent to these procedures.
Now I appreciate that hospitals are having a difficult time balancing budgets in this economically challenging time. But each of us are seeing higher co-pays and deductibles to offset employers and insurers' ever-escalating costs as well. And really in the big picture of the US economy, $1 or $1.8 million dollars isn't much.
But if we really want meaningful healthcare reform, then making patients pay twice, once for their procedure and again in the form of a portion of their taxes that pay for these "earmarks," can only mean one thing: nothing, but nothing will change for the little man and our healthcare system.
So go ahead, Barack. Make some "change" for the hospitals.
No doubt the hospitals will appreciate it.
I just wonder about the patients...

Launching the Large Hadron Collider
CERN, the world's largest particle physics laboratory, will circulate beams in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) beginning on September 10.
CERN, the world's largest particle physics laboratory, circulated beams in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) on September 10th. The LHC, located just outside of Geneva on the French-Swiss border, is the most powerful energy particle accelerator in the world. This first "beam injection" represents the culmination of two decades of work by thousands of researchers worldwide.
Details of the launch and other information from CERN can be accessed via http://lhc-first-beam.web.cern.ch/lhc-first-beam/Welcome.html. You can also learn much more about particle physics and view a variety of PI Public Lectures on the subject by examining the information and links on this page.
Amazingly, all the objects we see around us – clouds, cars, people – forming a kaleidoscope of shapes, colours, and textures, are made up of a relatively small number of building blocks, just a hundred or so types of atoms: carbon, oxygen, uranium, and so forth. Moreover, any atom can be constructed out of just three still more fundamental building blocks: protons and neutrons, forming the atomic nucleus, and electrons, shrouding the nucleus in a strange quantum dance.
Physicists knew this picture of matter, as being composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons, by the early 1930s. However, the building blocks of matter – the elementary particles, as they are understood today – go deeper than this. Moreover, the idea of elementary particles also extends to forces. For example, in trying to understand how light and other forms of the electromagnetic force interact with matter, Albert Einstein – building on the work of Max Planck – made the remarkable conjecture in 1905 that light is a shower of elementary particles, which later came to be known as photons.
This idea of elementary particles as the building blocks of everything – matter and forces – is one of the greatest success stories of 20th century physics. Ironically, the greatest challenge to this idea comes from the most apparent and thus commonplace of nature's forces: gravity. Another deep mystery is the origin of the masses of the elementary particles, whose explanation is believed to lie in the still elusive Higgs particle. These and other challenges of the 21st century are being pursued by PI scientists and members of the international research community in collaboration with CERN.
In the standard model, particles such as the electron and the quarks are inherently massless. In order for them to have mass (which they clearly do), the standard model relies on the existence of an additional particle – the Higgs particle. Roughly speaking, the idea is that all of space is filled with a "quantum fluid" called the Higgs field. The Higgs particle is to the Higgs field what the photon is to the electromagnetic field. Sort of like moving through molasses, particles acquire mass by interacting with this fluid.
The Higgs particle has not yet been directly detected. It is believed to be a very heavy particle, and so will require a very high-energy particle accelerator to create it and confirm its existence (remember E = mc2). There is great excitement and hope that the new Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European particle laboratory, CERN, will be the first to directly observe the elusive Higgs particle.
If confirmed, it would take us closer to a Grand Unified Theory, in which three of the four fundamental forces are different aspects of a single, unified force, in the same way that electric and magnetic forces are just different aspects of the single electromagnetic force. We might also discover evidence for "supersymmetry", which suggests that for each particle in our periodic table there exists an as-yet-undetected "superpartner" particle, a crucial ingredient in superstring theory.
The following selection of multi-media resources by leading scientists provides much more information relevant to particle physics and related areas of research. Click on the link to read a full description of each PI Public Lecture and choose your viewing format.

NEW YORK — Town Sports International (TSI) filed initial public offering (IPO) papers with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) this month on the heels of its chairman and director, Mark Smith, resigning.
TSI has been pursuing a buyer while considering an IPO. As of press time, a spokesperson for the company would not comment on the SEC filing or say whether the company was still entertaining bids from buyers. The IPO filing did not offer a date for stock to be issued. If TSI goes public, it would trade on NASDAQ under the CLUB symbol, according to the filing. TSI would be the third publicly traded health club company. Bally Total Fitness and Life Time Fitness are the other two.
Smith, who had been with the company since 1985, resigned about a week before the IPO filing. He will continue as a consultant to TSI. Robert Giardina, the company's CEO, is now also director while Chief Development Officer Alexander Alimanestianu becomes president.
The company's recently released annual report showed that 2005 revenue increased to $388.6 million from $353 million in 2004. Operating income in 2005 was $40.3 million, an increase from 2004 of $34.3 million. Net loss decreased from 2004, sitting at $1.8 million in 2005 and $3.9 million in 2004.

Ferrari introduces an exclusive new customer care service with the free seven-year Ferrari Genuine Maintenance Programme
Maranello, 27th April – Ferrari announces a new customer care service: clients ordering a Ferrari California, 458 Italia or FF from the authorised dealership network will be entitled to a free seven-year scheduled maintenance programme.
Genuine Maintenance is Ferrari's exclusive service that ensures that its cars are maintained to the highest standards to meet the company's strict requirements for safety, performance and reliability. The programme is unique – this is the first time a car manufacturer offers such cover and is evidence of the attention paid by Ferrari to ensuring its clients enjoy the maximum peace of mind. The Genuine Maintenance programme covers each individual vehicle, and thus extends to any eventual subsequent owner during the entire seven-year period.
The programme covers the scheduled maintenance at standard service intervals (20,000 km, or once a year, with no restriction on total kilometres) along with the relative original spare parts, engine oil and brake fluid. The advantage to the owner is the assurance that the vehicle will be subject to regular annual inspection by Ferrari-trained personnel using factory-approved dedicated diagnostic equipment.
This service will be progressively available in all Ferrari markets in the next few months and will involve the global authorised delearship network.
With the introduction of the Ferrari Genuine Maintenance seven-year programme, the Prancing Horse continues to set the standard throughout the industry for customer care.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – UMBC freshman Vincent Rentzsch (Oranienburg, Germany) has won his first America East weekly Track and Field honor, the conference office announced on Tuesday afternoon. Rentzsch was named the conference's Most Outstanding Male Field Athlete while Binghamton's Jesse Garn won the Male Track Athlete of the Week.
The versatile freshman garners the award after winning the javelin competition at the Morgan State Legacy Meet last weekend. Rentzsch recorded a new school-record throw of 65.40m (214'7") on Friday, a distance which leads the America East by nearly 20 feet and ranks 25th in the NCAA East Region. In addition, the first-year recorded a season-best toss of 13.35m (43'9.75") in the shot put over the weekend.
For the season, Rentzsch has broken the UMBC school record in the javelin four times. He first accomplished the feat in his first-ever outdoor meet for the Retrievers, registering a heave of 58.83m (193'0") at the Florida State Relays on Mar. 22.
This is the second-consecutive week that UMBC has earned a conference award as senior Trae Proctor (Brandywine, Md./Thomas Stone) and sophomore Mercedes Jackson (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown) were both named the league's Most Outstanding Track Athlete last week.
Rentzsch and the Retrievers make their final preparations for the 2013 America East Outdoor Championships later this week at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia. The three-day meet kicks off on Thursday, Apr. 25 at Franklin Field on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania.

The San Diego City Council on October 23 unanimously approved the mayor's appointment of Jeff Graham as Civic San Diego's new president. Graham had been vice president of redevelopment at the disbanded Centre City Development Corporation.
In an interview with Graham at the downsized office suite at 401 B Street (where they are now subleasing unused offices), he responded to a question about criticism CCDC received for being too cozy with developers. He said that during his five years at CCDC and now Civic San Diego, "I would disagree that we have favored developers. Our track record on affordable housing is looked up to throughout the state….
"I've got a really challenging role here," he said. "Our greatest funding source for affordable housing and neighborhood improvement has been taken away. So we have to see how we're going to fund these improvements."
One new way, he explained, was through federal tax credits.
"We did apply for 'New Markets Tax Credits.'" That program, established by Congress in 2009, rewards investment in low-income areas with tax credits against federal income taxes.
"We applied for $65 million," Graham added. "It can't be spent just on affordable housing. You have to demonstrate that you are creating permanent long-term jobs with it. So, the projects we applied for range from a new healthcare facility to a rec center in Southeast San Diego." He stressed that Civic San Diego expects to work on areas besides downtown and the southeastern part of the city.
Graham's current salary is $138,000, but "his future salary as president has not yet been determined," said Lisa Greeson, assistant VP of human resources. While budgeted at 32 people, the agency currently has 26 employees and is "actively recruiting for two project managers," Greeson stated. "I'm not sure at this time if/when we will fill the remaining positions."
Civic San Diego has taken over both CCDC and the Southeastern Economic Development Corporation. It will continue to administer the downtown San Diego parking district and manage the construction of parks and fire stations.
Graham was chosen from three candidates named by a nominating committee. The committee had one representative selected by the mayor, two representatives from the city council, and two representatives selected by Civic San Diego's board.

Interesting piece, not sure what a staff of 32 will be doing since funding is so reduced. I'll hold off judgement though to see what they're able to accomplish.
Graham has submitted his resignation, and his last day at Civic SD is March 7--four days after Kevin Faulconer is sworn in as Mayor.

Nokia has announced it hopes to sell 50 million Symbian-based smartphones in the next year, as it attempts to bring its devices back to the fore.
It claims to have 40% of the smartphone market with 260,000 new smartphones sold every day, which it states is more than Apple and Android combined in the last quarter.
Nokia says that the target of 50million Symbian-based smartphones sold is 'very conservative' as it aims to maintain that lead, and is also working to improve the efficiency and developer-friendliness of the new platform.
New and next
The phones will likely be based on Symbian^3 and Symbian^4, the next version of the smartphone platform, with MeeGo-based phones also on the horizon.
"We are arguably the most global company in any industry; our market is the world," said Niklas Savander, executive VP of markets for Nokia.
"We know one device will not satisfy all, even at the high end, as offering one model will inevitably lead to compromises.
"These could be to the phone, camera, keyboard, or even the phone itself, which is why we'll continue to offer a variety of devices."

Plants that combine beauty with edibility are in vogue, and a new selection in the mint family fits this bill. Agastache 'Blue Fortune' has anise-scented leaves (hence its common name of anise hyssop) and purplish blue flower spikes that are wildly attractive to butterflies. This cross between A. foeniculum and A. rugosa was developed in Holland and features the best of both species--good plant vigor, better flowering habit than anise hyssop, and hardiness to zone 4. It has an upright growth habit (to 3 feet tall in warm climates) but spreads only 1 to 2 feet wide. Dense, colorful flower spikes appear as early as May and June in zones 7 through 9, a couple of months later in zones 4 through 6. Its leaves make a licorice-tasting tea.
'Blue Fortune' grows best in full sun but tolerates part shade as well as a wide range of soil types and soil moisture. Use it as an accent plant or in masses. Combine it with other blue-flowered plants such as Russian sage (Perovskia atriciplicifolia), plants with contrasting-colored flowers such as pink or red bee balm (Monarda), or finer-textured ornamental grasses such as blue oat grass (Helictotrichon sempervirens) or fountain grass (Pennisetum setaceum).
'Blue Fortune' plants are widely available.

The IKA class AGM held last weekend in Rome has made some important decisions for the 2013 season. The minutes will be published soon, but here is a brief overview of the most important topics already:
Course Racing:
new material and weight limitation for boards, lines and kites approved
4 kites instead of 3 to be used per competition in the future with no upper wind limit (within reasonable strenght)
The kites are to registered per event (NOT per season), but with one kite in each size category (15m and bigger, between 11m and 15m, 11m and smaller, 9m and smaller). The sizes 11m and 15m are overlapping, which means a 15m kite can either be a large kite or a medium kite, and a 11m kite can be either a medium or small size kite. Details will be fully laid out soon.
The 360 turn penalty is changed so that it includes a tack and a gybe
Redress will be limited to injury, damage, and tangles, with a Q&A to be published on tangles. This will include tangles happening in Addendum Q races (umpired medal races)
The new PKRA judging guidelines will be adopted for general use
Wave Riding:
The same qualification system as in 2012 will be used, with 10 places pre-qualified in the mens fleet and 5 in the womens fleet from the 2012 KSP results. Details on the application process for 2013 will be published soon.
PKRA will run a slalom tour. Courses and organizational ideas have been presented and the current rules finetuned and published asap.
A new foilboarding class has been created, with the class rules to be finetuned with ISAF
A Hall of Fame will be introduced rewarding past, present and future world champions and ranking winners
The minutes will reflect on any of the above items in detail, as well as on many more of the 28 submissions and discussion under Any Other Business.
