...industry, which currently consists of a couple of hundred biometrics companies, will eventually consolidate into a handful, says Brian Ruttenbur, an equity research analyst for Morgan Keegan & Co., an investment firm based in Memphis, Tenn. "There's been a gold-rush mentality for years in the biometric space. The problem is, nobody's really found the gold yet." Three biometrics companies merged to form Identix, based in Minneapolis, Minn., which with $92 million in revenues is considered the world's leading biometric-security company. It is Cross Match's only U.S. rival for sales of the high-resolution, forensic-quality...
...fact, Obama's actual energy plan is much more than a tire gauge. But that's not what's so pernicious about the tire-gauge attacks. Politics ain't beanbag, and Obama has defended himself against worse smears. The real problem with the attacks on his tire-gauge plan is that efforts to improve conservation and efficiency happen to be the best approaches to dealing with the energy crisis - the cheapest, cleanest, quickest and easiest ways to ease our addiction to oil, reduce our pain at the pump and address global warming. It's a pretty simple concept...
...Plainly, Chicago is facing a major problem, although its causes have not been much discussed by policy makers. The faltering economy is raising stress levels, and the desperation in many low-income communities is compounded by the return of thousands of often unskilled ex-convicts to neighborhoods in which they have little prospect for earning an honest living.

But more aggressive policing at best simply contains the problem in the short-term, while running the risk of eventually turning many in the community against the authorities. That's why community groups are also attempt to tackle the problem at grass roots. One of the most promising initiatives is taking shape at New Mount Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church, on the city's West Side. Just a few years ago, news reports dubbed the church's Auburn-Gresham neighborhood...
...unable to attract a prestige investor, it becomes essential to expand revenue - most importantly by increasing stadium capacity. Arsenal two years ago moved from the 38,000-seat Highbury to the 60,000-capacity Emirates Stadium, which helped the club double its annual revenues to $180 million. The problem, of course, is that building a new stadium takes massive capital investment, and Arsenal recently admitted that the annual interest payment on its new stadium is $48 million - meaning the club's competitiveness may hinge on coach Arsene Wenger's genius for buying unproven but talented youngsters and turning them into...
