42 U.S. Code § 16989 - Fugitive Safe Surrender
(a) Findings
Congress finds the following:
(1) Fugitive Safe Surrender is a program of the United States Marshals Service, in partnership with public, private, and faith-based organizations, which temporarily transforms a church into a courthouse, so fugitives can turn themselves in, in an atmosphere where they feel more comfortable to do so, and have nonviolent cases adjudicated immediately.
(2) In the 4-day pilot program in Cleveland, Ohio, over 800 fugitives turned themselves in. By contrast, a successful Fugitive Task Force sweep, conducted for 3 days after Fugitive Safe Surrender, resulted in the arrest of 65 individuals.
(3) Fugitive Safe Surrender is safer for defendants, law enforcement, and innocent bystanders than needing to conduct a sweep.
(b) Establishment
The United States Marshals Service shall establish, direct, and coordinate a program (to be known as the "Fugitive Safe Surrender Program"), under which the United States Marshals Service shall apprehend Federal, State, and local fugitives in a safe, secure, and peaceful manner to be coordinated with law enforcement and community leaders in designated cities throughout the United States.
(c) Authorization of appropriations
There are authorized to be appropriated to the United States Marshals Service to carry out this section—

The Team
Columbia Tae Kwon Do was the first martial arts club at Columbia University, founded in the early 1980s by Grandmaster B.M. Lee, the father of the current head instructor, Master Michael Lee. Initially the club consisted of 8 black belts, and over the years has grown to be one of the largest clubs at Columbia with over 100 active members. The main practices are run by Master Lee, with additional practices lead by student black belt instructors.
For those interested in progressing through the belt ranks, belt testing is held at the end of each semester. The team is also part of the Eastern Collegiate Taekwondo Conference (ECTC), a league consisting of approximately 20 schools and which holds 5 tournaments annually. It is traditional that Columbia host the final tournament of the academic year.

Spotlight on the TransActive Live Portable PA System for iPod
Powerful sound reinforcement to go.
If youre a solo performer, if you play stripped-down sets, smaller venues, or like to practice along with backing tracks, the TransActive Live is your perfect companion. You can think of the TransActive Live as a complete PA system with an iPod dock, all in an ultra-portable package that you can carry in one hand!
Generally speaking, a PA (public address) system can be a complicated, time-consuming mess of cables and multiple, heavy trips in and out. The TransActive series was designed to eliminate the typical problems small acts face by integrating the amplifier, mixer, and loudspeaker all in one.
The TransActive 50 has 50 watts of powerful sound. The TransActive Mobile was the first TransActive with a built-in iPod dock, enabling bands and other performers to play along with track on the iPod or use it to play music in between sets or acts. The TransActive Drummer was designed as a wedge monitor and practice amp for drummers and virtually any other instrumentalist.
The TransActive Live is the most portable TransActive, scaling down the size, but not the quality sound or features. Just like all of the other TransActive models, the Live has its own built-in amplifier for powerful output, a two-way speaker system for clear highs, and punchy lows, a mixer with a variety of inputs, and an iPod dock.
The TransActive Live is perfect for those gigs where a big PA just doesnt make a lot of sense. If you play coffeehouses, the TransActive Live is for you. If youre a singer-songwriter and just need a little sound reinforcement for your vocals and guitar, the TransActive Live is for you. If you play in an acoustic setting, the TransActive Live is for you. If you play in an acoustic duo or trio, the TransActive Live is for you.
Theres no need to drag in a bulky, heavy, complicated PA system with this compact box. The TransActive Live has a top-panel carry handle so you can grab it and go to and from the gig. And at just 20 pounds, it wont weigh you down.
The TransActive Live gives you ample input connections right on the front panel. You to connect a mic with its combo XLR-1/4" input. Channel two is for 1/4 line level or guitar-direct input, and channel three is a pair of RCAs for drum machines or samplers, sequencers, CD players, and more. You can dock your iPod and use it as a backing track or for music in between sets using the dock right on top.
Hate being chained to the wall? Well the TransActive Live has a built-in rechargeable battery. You can play plugged into wall power or pull the plug and enjoy up to 12 hours of cordless sound. The TransActive Live even has a level indicator so you can easily see how much battery you have left.
Take your music more places with the TransActive Live. You'll save time and energy and spend more time making music! Learn more about the TransActive Live at its main page.

CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY Overview Information
Craniosacral therapy is a form of massage therapy that focuses on the skull and the spine. It was developed by an American osteopath, Dr. John Upledger. Today craniosacral therapy is used by massage therapists, chiropractors, naturopathy practitioners, and others. However, there are no consistent educational or practice standards for craniosacral therapy, and it is not a licensed or regulated practice in North America.
Craniosacral therapy is used for a variety of painful conditions including headache, migraine, temporomandibular joint syndrome (TMJ), back pain, neck pain, general pain, fibromyalgia, and "slipped disks" in the spine. It is also used for stress, fatigue, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), spinal cord injury, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), depression, dizziness (vertigo), autism, learning disabilities, and other conditions.
How does it work?
Craniosacral therapy is a form of massage therapy focusing on the skull and spine. Practitioners of craniosacral therapy believe that the bones of the skull are movable or that they can be manipulated in a way that treats a variety of medical conditions. Some practitioners believe that they can touch the head and become attuned to the patient's rhythm. They believe this connection results in improved energy flow, removal of energy blockages, or improved flow of cerebrospinal fluid for the patient.
However, bones of the skull are not movable and cannot be manipulated by touch. There is no reliable scientific evidence to support craniosacral therapy.
CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY Uses & Effectiveness
Insufficient Evidence for:
- Headache.
- Migraine.
- Pain.
- Stress.
- Fatigue.
- Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome.
- Back pain.
- Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
- Spinal cord injury.
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
- Depression.
- "Slipped disks" in the spine.
- Dizziness (vertigo).
- Neck pain.
- Autism.
- Learning disabilities.
- Fibromyalgia.
- Other conditions.
CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY Side Effects & Safety
There isn't enough information to know if craniosacral therapy is safe. It has not been scientifically studied.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Not enough is known about the use of craniosacral therapy during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.
Brain injury: There are reports that craniosacral therapy might make symptoms of traumatic brain injury worse. Some people with brain injury have reported that craniosacral therapy worsened their head pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rapid heartbeat, psychiatric disturbances, and other symptoms.
CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY Dosing
The appropriate or safe use of craniosacral therapy depends on several factors such as the condition being treated or the person administering the treatment. Be sure to seek and follow relevant directions from your physician or other healthcare professional before using this treatment.

The idea, Tyler said, was to send the balloon up with the camera to take pictures of Earth. The two brothers were inspired when they saw a similar feat in a magazine, and others who have launched their weather balloon cameras claim to have reached heights of over 100,000 feet.
The two are trying to see the curvature of the Earth, Tyler said, "and trying to get cool pictures from up high."
To achieve that, the boys put a video camera inside a Styrofoam cooler. Complete with a cell phone with an external camera, the rig has hand-warmers to keep the electronics from freezing in the upper atmosphere. Topped off with a foil radar target, the craft has been dubbed the "MAW Voyager," Tyler said.
Eventually, the balloon burst and the cooler parachuted down near Coopersville. It was tracked using the phone's GPS and retrieved at around 1:45 p.m. by a WZZM crew, the Grand Rapids television station reported.
The video they recovered shows the students as they watched the balloon float away. Houses are then visible as the balloon heads east over Grand Haven.
WZZM reported that the balloon reached heights of around 20,000 feet.
Before the launch, Lessens held an assembly and showed a video taken by a group who called their balloon "STRATOS-1." Their camera flew more than 60 miles across Florida's peninsula, taking pictures where blue sky fades to black, and the curvature of the globe can clearly be seen.
Andrew Ratke — Brian and Tyler's fourth-grade science teacher at Mary A. White — said the boys talked about the idea in class, and put it together with a lot of help from their father and older brother.
"I think this is an awesome project," Ratke said. "These guys have science on their mind all the time — and for these students to be able to take this outside the classroom, and take some things we're learning inside the classroom and apply it to bigger projects, is really special."

Martin County's fertilizer ban starts today for rainy season
MARTIN COUNTY — Martin County joins Stuart and Sewall's Point starting June 1 restricting the use of fertilizer on lawns during the summer rainy season.
The Martin County ordinance banning the use of fertilizer containing nitrogen or phosphorus on lawns takes effect today and will be enforced through Oct. 1.
Such ordinances are intended to reduce the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus washing into ponds, streams and the St. Lucie River.
Other fertilizers without nitrogen or phosphorus are permitted.
"People think heavy rain soaks the fertilizer into the ground," Deborah Drum, Martin County's ecosystem manager, said. "That's not what happens."
Instead, the fertilizer is washed into drainage systems that lead to streams and the St. Lucie River. The nutrient overload causes algae blooms and plant growth that can block drainage and reduce the oxygen supply for fish and other marine creatures when the plant material decays.
"It all begins on people's lawns," Drum said. "There is no downside to not fertilizing during rainy season."
Sewall's Point bans fertilizer during the June 1-Nov. 30 hurricane season or any other time heavy rain is expected. That ordinance was adopted in July 2010.
Stuart residents don't have to mark the calendar but should pay attention to weather reports. Their February 2011 ordinance bans fertilizer when a tropical storm watch or warning is in effect, a heavy thunderstorm is approaching or 2 inches of rain is expected in a 24-hour period.
Other times of year residents should not put grass clippings and similar material into drainage systems.
The ordinances also have restrictions on how near to water fertilizer can be spread, often setting a buffer zone around drainage systems, ponds and streams.
Drum said Martin County's compliance officers will be on the lookout for illegal fertilizing when they are patrolling to find other violations.
Residents who suspect illegal fertilizing should call the code enforcement departments in their jurisdiction.
"We're trying to educate the public," Drum said. "We'll soon roll out a campaign to do that."
More information about the proper use of fertilizer is available by calling the University of Florida's Martin County Extension Office at 772-288-5654.

Helsinki hotels
What travelers to Helsinki are saying
Hesitant Helsinki
Unlike many capital cities, Helsinki doesn't realise it's cool yet. Beautiful to look at, from the coast to the weird and wacky architecture, Helsinki is a great place for travellers who like something a bit different.
Helsinki residents are a curious blend of earnest, quirky and intense, and they stand apart from their Scandinavian neighbours both in culture and in language (Finnish is the only language that is completely unrelated to any other).
Helsinki enjoys up to 19 hours of daylight in summer (leaving plenty of time for all-night parties), but a paltry five or six hours in winter, meaning the locals have to adjust to some pretty wild extremes. This may explain why the Fins drink more coffee per person than any other nation in the world.
Still at least all that coffee will give you plenty of energy for exploring. There's no single monument or structure that defines Helsinki – you're better off wandering around and stumbling across an outdoor gallery or a building that takes your fancy. Try the Design Museum, the Boathouse or Market Square, as well as the bigger, more famous attractions such as Uspenski Cathedral or Tuomiokirkko.
Take a Tram Tour and have a beer onboard, or try Salmiakki – hard, salty squares of liquorice that the Fins love but anyone else seems to consider one step up from eating asphalt. Still, you can't visit without giving it a go.
Helsinki isn't pushy or pretentious, it's just there for the taking. Soon though, it's going to realise its pulling-power, so you'd better get in quick!
Helsinki's Top 10
10. Korkeasaari Zoo Zoo Native animals as well as species from around the world. The café is pretty damn good, too.
5. Uspenski Cathedral Beautiful at any time, this cathedral comes alive on Saturday nights and Sunday mornings, when an interesting service takes place.
9. Senaatintori Helsinki's beautiful Central Square. You'll waste more time here than you expect, so walk slowly.
4. Tuomiokirkko Presiding over Senate Square, this building has been around since 1852. A very popular spot to view the NYE festivities.
8. Sports Museum of Finland This makes a nice change from all the art around! Cool simulation where you can compete in the 1952 Olympics!
3. Sibelius Park As well as the beautiful surroundings you'll find an interesting monument dedicated to a great Finnish composer.
7. Nuuksio National Park Experience the Finnish outdoors with forests, lakes and ponds, and several walking trails
2. Suomenlinna Island Take a half-day trip, it's well worth it. Pack a picnic and go exploring.
6. Mannerheim Museum Entry includes a guided tour – well worth it. Bonus plastic booties to help keep you looking classy and preserve their stunning floors!
1. National Gallery A who's who and what's what of Finnish artists and art going right back to the 18th century.

Helsinki Local
Punavuori (the City Centre) is full of old buildings to stare at and students to flirt with. Kallio is known for its waterways, Hakaniemi Square and the Kallio Church. There are a few great restaurants and pubs in this area as well, as well as some up-and-coming innovative architectural designs.
Töölö has a huge range of things to see, as well as some great people-watching opportunities. This is the home of the Hietaniemi Cemetery, Sibelius Monument, Parliament Building, Olympic Stadium and the gorgeous parklands around Töölö Bay. Best of all, it's where the Rock Church can be found. If you like your religion mixed with some heavy rock (literally!), this is the place for you.
Eira, Ullanlinna & Kaivopuisto
These neighbouring districts are full of parks, historical buildings and statues. Eira is known for its Jugend-style houses, parks and boulevards. Oh, fancy!
At Eira's centre lies Engel Square, which is surrounded by beautiful buildings, including the Chinese Embassy. Ullanlinna is popular among stylish young professionals, interior designers and architects. Kaivopuisto's park is a great place to while away a sunny Sunday (if you can find one!).
Kamppi stretches from the Central Railway Station to the Cable Factory, making it a great place to start your travels and also a good place to get your bearings.
Here you'll stumble on the Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art and the Ruoholahti villas, historically significant wooden buildings that are some of the oldest in the city. Right between Kamppi and Kaartinkaupunki is Kluuvi, the busiest district in Helsinki and a great place to shop or eat out.
Man, those K words are a tongue-twister. Try saying them in order after a tall shot of vodka!
Helsinki Eat & Drink
Tori This 1950s-themed restaurant is recognisable by the record on the door. Breakfast, lunch or dinner are all good value.
Juuri This is the perfect place to sample a range of different Finnish specialties with their tapas menu.
Café Delicato Stuff your rustic Italian ciabatta with a choice of mouth-watering fillings. An Italian Subway… only better!
Zetor This country-themed restaurant and pub has a big menu bursting with good traditional food as well as local booze to choose from.
Café Engel Students and locals love this eatery for its impromptu performances and movie screenings during summer. The food ain't bad either.
Papa Giovanni Pasta lovers unite in the spaghetteria downstairs while the posh folk sample the trendy delights upstairs.
Cafe Strindberg Big bowls of delicious soup with chunks of crusty bread. Perfect for a chilli Helsinki afternoon.
Pelmenis An authentic Russian experience in the heart of the red-light district.
Kipsari Great vegetarian feeds for trendy travellers who figure hanging out at uni is the best way to observe the locals.
Telsim Tele Pizza The best pizza in town. Big pizzas to share and a large range to choose from. Settle in with a bottle of wine and a few mates and eat for around €10.
Helsinki Events
The arrival of summer in June brings Juhannus and sees open-air dance festivals and midnight – which doesn't look that different from midday – bonfires across the city.
Each year, June ends and July begins with Helsinki Pride. Parades, picnics and parties for four days!
Finland's largest international youth tournament, the Helsinki Cup, crowds the football pitches for a week during July.
Tuska Open Air Metal Festival rocks the city across four stages in July. Don't forget your earplugs.
As July meets August ,Helsinki hosts the URB Urban Festival, with acts from Finland and abroad.
Bring back the 1990s for the Helsinki Roller Marathon! August plays host to hundreds of rollerbladers battling it out along city streets.
August also sees the more traditional Helsinki City Marathon – strictly feet and no blades!
Under cover of darkness, August sees the Night of the Arts, where art galleries open their doors until late. This is as part of the Helsinki Festival.
When To Go
Let's make no bones about it – it can get freezing in Helsinki. Ever wondered why everyone's getting around in those odd fur hats? Once you've experienced the sub-zero temperatures that threaten to freeze your ears right off your head, they'll seem less fashion faux pas and more fashion favourite. As a result, Helsinki more or less hibernates during the winter months, so it's far more appealing to go when it's thawed out a bit.
- Winter (November to March): -14 to 8°C (7-46°F)
- Spring (April to May): 0 to 16°C (32-61°F)
- Summer (June to August): 9 to 23°C (48-73°F)
- Fall (September to October): 3 to 15°C (37-59°F)
Getting Around
If you're sticking to the City Centre, hire a bike or walk. Helsinki is a very easy city to get around.
There is, however, a pretty good public transport system. The Helsingin Kaupungin Liikennelaitos operates buses, metro and local trains, trams and a ferry to Suomenlinna. A ticket costs €2 and allows unlimited transfers for an hour. A single tram ticket is €1.80.
Taxis are hard to come by during peak hour so if you can't hail one, queue up at the closest rank or train station.
Bikes are a great way to get around this relatively flat city. Tourist offices offer a cycling map to help you find your way. Helsinki provides 'City Bikes' for €2, which you then get back when you return it. Bargain!
What To Miss
Train, bus and tram tickets must be validated in the stamping machine or you can expect to be fined. Finnish transport officers have a touch of the Iron Curtain about them, if you know what we mean, so it's best to avoid upsetting them.
Linnanmaki Amusement Parkis close to the city and sure, it's an amusement park, but it's rundown and overpriced so our tip is to give it a miss. Save your money for a real theme park somewhere else in the world.
Alcohol can be seriously expensive in the city centre as Finland's government heavily regulates its sale. The Fins are curiously proud of the fact that several studies show they are intoxicated more frequently than any other nation in the world. Actually, perhaps that explains all the coffee!
General Information
Helsinki may feel provincial and serene on the surface, but the capital of Finland is a feisty little city fast on the rise. In the vicinity of 1.3 million people, metro Helsinki dwarfs other urban areas in the country and comprises one quarter of the national populace.
As the principal hub of Finland, sparse in population but desirable as a country with enviable political, economic and social stability, Helsinki serves as a nexus point of culture, education and commerce. As such, the city has a plethora of fine institutions and landmarks to explore, not to mention a picturesque geographic position, courtesy of the Gulf of Finland and Baltic Sea.
A creative and progressive city, not at all atypical for Scandinavia, with Oslo, Copenhagen and Stockholm in the fold, Helsinki has a lot to offer. The 1952 Summer Olympic Games host is rather complete, with a fine quality of life that mingles a touch of urban modernity with the restraint of a city that knows the importance of green space, culture, historical preservation and leisure.
A tour of the intimate maritime city must include the UNESCO World Heritage Suomenlinna star fortress. Built by the Kingdom of Sweden in 1748, the sea base is a site of notable historical import.
Hardy, resilient Helsinki residents cherish Central Park. A full 10 km from south to north, the space provides a superlative and essential recreation ground within the city. With deciduous and primeval forests, wildlife habitats, allotment gardens, trails, sports arenas and of course, saunas, the park is the most popular spot in the city.
Impressive Uspenski Cathedral is a stark reminder of the hegemony Imperial Russia once had over Finland. The hilltop Orthodox Church with stellar views of Helsinki regularly draws more than half a million tourists on an annual basis.
Adjacent to the city centre is Market Square, a popular plaza and market place. The perimeter of the square is replete with cafés, souvenir shops and Finnish food stalls. Grand Helsinki Cathedral looms close by. For a special experience, come in early October when Market Square hosts a lively herring market.
When sun is at a premium in Nordic Europe, people get creative. Helsinki is no exception and the Forces of Light Festival is proof. Held over November and December, the eclectic celebration floods the city with incandescent installations and multimedia exhibits.
Independence Day in Finland commemorates the cessation of Russian rule over the country in December of 1917. The party in Helsinki is especially festive, with a number of important ceremonial traditions at vital city landmarks.
Another winter treat in Helsinki is the St. Thomas Christmas market, when beautiful Esplanade Park comes alive with traditional treats, gifts and of course, plenty of Nordic yuletide spirit.
The city blooms every Vappu, or May Day, as Helsinki residents come out of hibernation in droves to celebrate spring's arrival with beer-stoked revelry.August ushers in the Helsinki Festival, a massive and jovial blend of dance, contemporary and classical music, cinema, art and street performers.
The continental climate of Helsinki is temperate, with lower temperatures in winter than most expect of Finland. Precipitation is heavy in November and December, with a minimum of sunshine throughout the snowy months. The summer solstice however, brings up to 19 hours of daylight.
- Winter (November to March) -14-8°C
- Spring (April to May) 0-16°C
- Summer (June to August) 9-23°C
- Fall (September to October) 3-15°C

Obviously, it conceals itself in the corner of the website you downloaded the free programs from. A few fiddles might help to do so, such as tougher default privacy settings on social networks. Apparently, the social network has been the major target by infections.
General Picture of v9.com Browser Hijacker?
v9.com website is detected as a wicked browser hijacker that may disable your Windows firewall with the error popping up"due to an unidentified problem, windows cannot display the firewall settings." However, your trusted anti-virus program will try to alert you at full tilt with terms that implied that a keyboard logger might be running.
With such hijacker that looks harmless, your snappy computer becomes completely non responsive, CPU maxed, out of memory messages. Major amount of files are locked and password protected, which is at the stage ready to send the files to its sired creator: hacker. Once it is in, it drops its files and tempers with the key registries, which means it can change the default setting of your browser to occupy the browser's authorization, alter your home page without your permission. Secondly, you will fail to get access to certain web resources. Thirdly, it may install other sorts of spyware/ad-ware to mess your PC system up. You have looked in the Task Manager, done a system restore, removed the desktop and task bar shortcuts, run you trusted anti-virus program, etc but no luck in removing it? No worries, to keep you from being exposed to numerous risks, hurry up to remove it by following the steps below, should you get stuck during the process, you are welcome to ask Tee Support experts 24/7 online for professional help.
How Am I Able to Avoid the Same Situation?
In any case, the real problem is not the message, but the link. Sometimes an unwise click leads only to a websites that sells counterfeit pills. But it can also lead to a page that infects your computer with a virus or another piece of malicious software that then steals your passwords or uses your machine for other nefarious purposes. Spam was never about email; it was about convincing us to click. Such as free things. If it's giving you thrills and good stuff for "Free", it's probably scanning your drive for valuable stuff or infecting you with Trojans and dialers and all sorts of nasties. You'd be surprised how many people have their ss#, credit card numbers and various other info that people could exploit for money stored on their system somewhere. If the website providing products is skeptical, be very skeptical, because the spammer plays upon the universal human desire to believe that we are smarter than anyone gives us credit for, and things can be had for nothing.

The Whole Enchilada : MacauTripping.com Launched
on 1 October 2007 11:01 pm
Six months and thousands of miles later, MacauTripping.com has finally launched. We truly hope that you will find MacauTripping to be your one stop shop for everything Macau, Cotai, Taipa... at least as far as gamblin' goes. Unlike most sites that hit the internet then wither, MacauTripping is a work in progress, we've got a pretty decent array of stuff that occupies the space between the soup and the nuts but there's always more to put in the cupboard.
Trickling out over the next few days will be the full on reviews of all of the joints I stayed at (Galaxy StarWorld, Hotel Lisboa, Wynn Macau, Crown Macau and Venetian Macao). All will be done up to the max with tons of photos, video walk throughs and corny commentary by yours truly.
Additionally, I'll be publishing all the gushy details about MGM Grand Macau including a ton of construction pix and photos of the building models and MGM Grand Macau's adaptation of Bellagio's 'Conservatory'.
Coming a little further in the distance will be a gonzo photo gallery with at least 500 of the 3000 photos I took while in Macau... lots of stuff to feast your eyes and brain on, even if some of them are a little blurry cause I was drunk when I took them.
You may have thought that the end of the trip plus launch of the site means the end of the steady stream of stuff. Wrong. Nothing, I mean nothing could be farther from the truth. We're just barely getting started over here and by the time we run out of crap to talk about, we'll be in Macau again.
Caveat Pimptor: With all new websites, there are inevitably some things that aren't quite finished or don't work as expected. While you travel around MacauTripping, you'll stumble across the occasional programming boo-boo and link that evaporates into the ether, and the occasional missing images. Please bear with us as we apply the last few coats of polish. For now, MacauTripping is certified to be 'close enough for jazz!'
PS. If there are any experienced Macau Trippers out there, please leave a short review on the hotel pages so other folks can know whats up. The more the merrier.

World-renowned security firm Sophos revealed that it is about to acquire DIALOGS, a German company that specializes in providing mobile management solutions.
DIALOGS has been doing business with companies such as BMW, Daimler and Siemens, the company's purchase being a great way for Sophos to reinforce its position in the mobile security sector.
"We're excited to be joining a complete security leader with deep background in mobile security," Frank Zimmermann, co-founder and managing director of DIALOGS, said.
"Our complementary expertise will further strengthen the Sophos mobile development team, resulting in quicker time-to-market to deliver enterprises the industry's most comprehensive mobile security offerings."
The new union will allow for Sophos' encryption and data protection services to be combined with the SaaS-based and on-premises mobile management technology provided by DIALOGS.
The companies' leaders hope to overcome the challenges posed by the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) practices adopted by more and more organizations.
