Anytime Fitness Announces New Master Franchise Agreement For India
Posted: at 9:13 pm
HASTINGS, Minn. and NEW DELHI, June 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Anytime Fitness, the world's largest co-ed chain of health clubs, has signed a master franchise agreement for India with New Delhi-based House of Fitness Pvt. Ltd.
"We are extremely enthusiastic about the growth potential for Anytime Fitness in India," states John Kersh, Vice President of International Development for Anytime Fitness. "Our Indian associates from House of Fitness are well-respected and they have a solid combination of fitness industry experience and business acumen which, we are sure, will contribute to strong performance of the brand."
According to statistics from the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association's 2012 Global Report on the State of the Health Club Industry, less than one tenth of one percent of the Indian population are members of health clubs. This figure is in sharp contrast to the United States, where over 17% of the total population are health club members, and to Europe, where more than 10% of the population are members in the majority of countries.
"Indians are becoming increasingly health conscious and the Anytime Fitness concept provides a perfect solution for busy people looking for a comfortable and convenient facility in which to exercise," stated Vishal Kwatra, COO of House of Fitness.
The recently-concluded agreement follows a master franchise format, in which House of Fitness will develop their own Anytime Fitness gyms, sell sub-franchises and provide on-going support to franchisees, and will promote and market the brand in India. Anytime Fitness will, in turn, provide exclusive rights to House of Fitness for use of the brand's trademarks, systems and intellectual property during the term of the agreement, and will support the master franchisee via its corporate headquarters in the United States.
This is the second foray into the Indian market for Anytime Fitness. Four Anytime Fitness clubs had been opened under a prior master franchise agreement with a different company, but that relationship terminated following that master franchisee's failure to comply with the terms of its master franchise agreement."
About Anytime Fitness Founded in 2002, Anytime Fitness is now the fastest-growing fitness club franchise in the world, with nearly 2,000 clubs worldwide. Open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, Anytime Fitness prides itself on providing its members with convenient and affordable fitness options in friendly, well-maintained facilities that feature top-quality exercise equipment.

A recent report on the problems with our 401(k) retirement plan provides the latest example how public policy groups want the government to take control of your retirement savings.
A liberal policy advocacy group named Demos recently published a report titled The Retirement Savings Drain which rehashes old complaints about 401(k) plans, overstates the costs of many current plans, and offers a government plan as a solution.
Chief among the complaints by Demos are that current 401(k) plans have excessively high fees, and those fees are hidden from employees. While in many cases employees do pay high costs, 401(k) fee disclosure has been planned to be rolled out in 2012 for some time now, and may help address ignorance of what plans actually costs.
The Demos report lists four reasons for the problem of high fees with 401(k) plans:
1) Complexity
2) Employers lack of knowledge
3) Employees lack of knowledge
4) Inefficient market structure
While all of the above may have some truth, what Demos fails to acknowledge is that all four items are due to the lack of a free market in 401(k) plans, including burdensome rules and penalties on employers who choose to offer plans to help their employees save.

McAfee shifts cloud security focus to email, personal data
Posted: at 9:12 pm
Summary: McAfee is refocusing its cloud security platform to hone in on three areas: email, Web and identity.
McAfee is upgrading its Cloud Security Platform with some new features intended to address the three primary channels of traffic, which are defined as email, Web and identity.
Phil Hochmuth, program manager of IDCs Security Products service, defended these choices in prepared remarks, asserting that identity, Web and email security components are critical as enterprise IT customers deploy both on-premise and off-premise Cloud-based solutions over the next several years.
Protection for mobile workers is a big theme here, in particular. Along with an identity manager that extends policy control decisions to both in-network and mobile devices, McAfee is also touting its Client Proxy for providing authentication and redirection of traffic from off-network laptops to a McAfee Web Protection solution.
These improvements might come in handy to alleviate woes about sensitive data and security related to BYOD trends as well as remote workers.
Overall, the framework is designed to enable business customers to extend their security and policy enforcement into the cloud, along with providing real-time protection and data about threats to all verticals, including the three aforementioned channels.

Hamilton leaves behind personal problems to take victory at Montreal
Posted: at 9:12 pm
The rest of the Formula One field take note: Lewis Hamilton is back, and he feels good in his skin again.

After a 2011 season marked by personal troubles a very public break-up with girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger, and tensions surrounding the firing of his manager father, Anthony and several ragged outings on track that saw Hamilton finish a disappointing fifth overall, things are different this year for the 2008 world champion, both on and off the track.
Well, Ive always just said that I was waiting to try and get all the pieces of the puzzle into the right place, getting my life into gear, getting things organized, said a smiling Hamilton, who was relaxed and comfortable talking about his personal turnaround.
I had a lot of bad years. There were certain things that werent right. It took a lot longer to get them right and sorted. I think probably the relationship with my family has made the biggest difference.
Hamilton wouldnt go into detail when asked to elaborate and and only said: Its just better. It was okay before, but its just incredible now.
Scherzinger is also back in his life, cheering him on from the McLaren hospitality area during Sundays 70-lap race at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, where the reinvigorated 27-year-old McLaren driver got back onto the top step of the podium. It was a cool, calculated performance reminiscent of his maiden F1 win on the same track in 2007.
Coincidentally, his first victory of 2012 came in the race where he surpassed his hero and F1 legend Ayrton Senna in starts with the famed McLaren team. Three-time world champion Senna raced 96 times for McLaren between 1988 and 1993. He died in a high-speed crash in the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix at Imola while driving for Williams.
While Hamilton hadnt won until Sunday, the season hasnt exactly been terrible for the British driver. The McLaren ace had two poles and four podiums in six starts prior to Montreal, where his win vaulted him from fourth to first in the championship standings. He now has 88 points. Ferraris Fernando Alonso is second with 86, with Red Bulls Sebastian Vettel third on 85. Drivers get 25 points for a win.

Credit Sesame Secures $12 Million, Sees Tremendous Growth in Helping Consumers Better Manage Personal Credit and …
Posted: at 9:12 pm
SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire -06/11/12)- Today, Credit Sesame, the free service that helps consumers easily monitor their credit and loans in one place and save money on debt, announced that it has raised $12 million in new funding. Globespan Capital Partners led the round with participation from Credit Sesame's existing investors, Menlo Ventures and Inventus Capital. The latest round of financing will support Credit Sesame's expansion to reach millions of Americans.
U.S. households carry $14 trillion of debt in mortgages, credit cards, consumer loans, and student loans. Yet the average consumer lacks an easy, objective tool to help them make smart financial decisions. By providing consumers with instant, free access to credit scores and critical financial information, Credit Sesame meets this need and goes a step beyond. Credit Sesame's proprietary analytics engine analyzes a consumer's credit profile against thousands of available financial products in the market to find solutions to help consumers save money and meet their individual financial goals.
"As investors, we believe that Credit Sesame has tremendous potential to help Americans achieve a better financial future," said Daniel Leff, Ph.D., Globespan Capital Partners. "The company is solving a real problem for consumers and has already demonstrated great success in helping its users simplify the daunting task of understanding their comprehensive credit and debt profile, and how they can improve their finances with little or no effort. We are happy to fuel the company's growth and help Credit Sesame realize its goal of reaching millions of Americans."
Since its public launch, Credit Sesame has experienced tremendous user growth and now oversees more than $22 billion in consumer loans and debt on its personal finance platform. Credit Sesame currently finds $175 million a month in savings for its users. As a result, nearly half (48%) of the users now frequent the site 2- 3 times a month to stay abreast of their finances and realize ways to stop overpaying on their debt. The company's performance is also well reflected in its revenue growth, which has quadrupled quarter over quarter.
"Credit Sesame helps consumers better manage the critical part of their finances they often neglect: their credit and debt," said Adrian Nazari, founder and CEO of Credit Sesame. "While consumers are out investing countless dollars and hours, trying to time the market for a slightly better return on their investments, we're giving them the edge back home, making sure they're not incurring thousands of extra dollars in cost each year on their loans and credit needs."
Credit Sesame will use the funding to expand its market reach and to continue investing in its patent-pending analytic tools developed by Stanford University scientists and vetted by top banks. The company plans on hiring talent in marketing and engineering and enhancing its mobile app, the #1 free credit score app in the iTunes store.
