PARIS/NEW YORK, Sept 20 (Reuters) - Face-recognition software maker L-1 Identity Solutions is being sold to two top European defense companies as the arms industry diversifies more deeply into the battle against everyday security threats and fraud. French group Safran confirmed a $1.09 billion cash deal to buy the U.S. security company and its core biometric business in a move that will also see British defense company BAE Systems extend its reach in the United States. The deal is the latest in a string of mid-tier security and defense companies that have been snapped up by traditional arms suppliers. Diversified U.S. manufacturer 3M Co agreed to buy Cogent Inc for $943 million in early September, paying a premium of nearly 18 percent for the maker of identification systems used to screen travelers at border crossings. As major contractors face sharp cuts in defense budgets, they are looking to acquire smaller companies with niche technologies in cybersecurity, civil security, surveillance and intelligence -- a deliberate shift in focus from bombs to bytes. 'We are definitely going to see more deals as the large defense players have very strong balance sheets,' analyst Michael French of Morgan Joseph & Co said. 'They are in a good position to spend. They can easily raise capital these days.' L-1's shares rose 20 percent to be the top percentage gainer in New York Stock Exchange trading after state-controlled Safran announced its bid, which represented a 24 percent premium to L-1's closing share price on Friday. Shares of many niche defense technology companies, which are considered potential targets, also rose. Signal intelligence company Integral System Inc and drone maker AeroVironment both rose more than 2 percent. American Science & Engineering Inc shares were also up about 2 percent, while Cubic Corp shares were up more than 1 percent. The deal will go ahead if L-1 completes a plan to sell its government consulting arm to BAE for $296 million. Both transactions were announced on Monday after Reuters reported details and named BAE as the co-buyer. L-1's face-recognition and other biometric products are used by government agencies to improve security and border management and commercially at financial institutions. The use of biometrics, allowing machines to identify people through unique characteristics of each human body, is spreading quickly due to growing security fears. However, privacy concerns have slowed their adoption in some markets. For a factbox on biometric identification click on. The technology is moving toward mobile applications, such as handheld scanners for use in law enforcement and voting. L-1's gadgets are even being used widely to enroll school bus drivers. The $12 per share offer from Safran, which makes aero engines, military goggles and security equipment, matched the top end of analyst forecasts seen before the announcement.

Email Marketing Featured Article August 27, 2010 Bango Report: Apple Subdued, BlackBerry Favored for Mobile Advertising By Mini Swamy TMCnet Contributor Bango Inc. , which provides the technology that powers commerce for businesses targeting the growing Internet market, has released the results of a survey on Web browsing habits of smartphone users. For the purpose of the survey, Bango (News - Alert) measured the number of mobile visits made in the United States across a sample of Web sites during Q1 and Q2 of 2010, focusing on browsing activity from phones and not on mobile application use. Mobile web browsing took a tremendous leap between Q1 and Q2, 2010, when the volume of mobile Web browsing from Android Phones in the United States increased by a clear 400 percent, while Apple users remained subdued registering only 13 percent over the same period, indicating a 16 percent decline in market share. HTC and Sony Ericsson (News - Alert) smartphones showed large volume growth of mobile visits during the same period with 162 percent and 148 percent respectively, indicating an increase of 94 percent and 84 percent in market share. LG, Motorola (News - Alert) and Samsung all registered an increase in market share and grew by 48 percent, 45 percent and 26 percent for the same period. The picture changed when only Q2 results were revealed. BlackBerry continued to dominate with the highest volume of mobile Web visits, accounting for 37 percent, a volume increase of over 20 percent from the first quarter. Apple devices followed a little way behind with 26 percent of mobile visits, while HTC (News - Alert), Sony Ericsson, Samsung, LG and Motorola -combined- accounted for a total of 27 percent of mobile Web visits. Ray Anderson, CEO of Bango summed up the situation and said that even with Apple's new devices in the market, BlackBerry held on to the leading position and would be a safe bet for mobile advertising. He added that Apple appeared to be losing ground to the latest Android handsets from HTC, while Sony Ericsson (News - Alert), Motorola and Samsung, failed to put up a good show as far as Web browsing was concerned.

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Investors in the stock market could enjoy a total return of roughly 20% in the next 15 months or so, according to a corporate securities strategy note from Citigroup, released Friday. /quotes/comstock/21z!i1:in\x SPX 1,126, +0.93, +0.08% 1,3001,2001,1001,00010NFAJAS&P 500 Citi’s analysts predicted the S&P 500 /quotes/comstock/21z!i1:in\x (SPX 1,126, +0.93, +0.08%) would end 2011 at 1,300, up 10% from where they expect it to end 2010, at 1,175. The projected gains also support growing economic strength, as consumer spending is often influenced by portfolio wealth and corporate-management teams consider their stock’s performance when predicting their futures as well, the report said.

Bango, the Milwaukee Bucks' mascot and known daredevil, has been named the NBA Mascot of the Year. Bango was awarded the honor at the league's annual mascot meetings in Miami. Yes, the league has a mascot meeting. “It is truly an honor for the Bucks organization, and for our fans worldwide to know that Bango has been honored by the NBA mascot community as the NBA Mascot of the Year,” said John F. Steinmiller, the team's vice president. Bango has been the mascot for the Bucks for 32 seasons. In April, during the playoffs, he pulled off a stunt you may not see again, seeing as how the team's front office was not fully aware what the mascot had in mind. To remind you, here's the video: According to the Bucks, Bango is expected to appear on HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel on Sept. 21.
