It is Cross Match's only U.S. rival for sales of the high-resolution, forensic-quality live-scan machines, which capture fingerprints with inkless optical-scanning technology and transmit them to central databases. While Identix's scanners are bigger and pricier than most of the smaller company's comparable products, the two firms compete directly for deals that require machines for a desktop or larger.

He will have two key opportunities in New York - with words, then with gestures - to transmit his basic message of faith and reason in a world inching toward a clash of civilizations. In his speech at the U.N., he will reiterate his predecessors' commitment to peace and diplomacy as the best way to tackle world problems.
