TEXT-Nice Systems gets deal with Delhi police - Radio Stations

(The following was issued by Israel's Nice Systems Ltd
(NICE.O) (NICE.TA)):
Sept 13 - NICE Systems Ltd (NASDAQ: NICE), the worldwide
leader of intent-based solutions that extract insight to impact
business performance, reduce financial risk and ensure safety
and security, today announced that India's HCL Security, NICE's
strategic partner and the project's prime contractor, will be
implementing NICE's integrated security solution at India's
Delhi Police.
NICE will enable Delhi Police with an integrated command,
control, coordination and communication center (C4i) solution to
meet operational requirements for the upcoming October 2010
Commonwealth Games 2010 and beyond.
Delhi Police selected HCL-NICE consortium through
competitive bidding in anticipation of the 2010 Commonwealth
Games to manage and enhance the police response to security
events.
The Commonwealth Games is a multi-sport event with
participants representing the fifty-four independent states that
are members of the Commonwealth of Nations.
The Delhi Police will implement the NICE solutions to fuse
data from multiple systems and sensors, dispersed across 45
sites throughout the city, including sporting venues, metro
stations, markets and police stations.
The pre-integrated NICE solution is based on NICE Situator,
NICE's situation management solution. NICE Situator offers broad
interoperability with many third party solutions for video
analytics, video surveillance systems, Tetra (Terrestrial
Trunked Radio) IP network for public safety, and GIS, among
others.
This approach delivers a single, holistic operational view
and enhances real-time response by automating procedures, as
well as information sharing.
The NICE solution also enables comprehensive debriefing by
full reconstruction of an event and response to it, leveraging
NICE Inform incident information management solution and NICE
screen encoders for screen capture of the command and control
room's inputs during security events.
A senior officer at Delhi Police said, "We are proud that
Delhi is hosting this year's Commonwealth Games. At the same
time, this means that our police force has the great
responsibility for ensuring the safety and security of our
visiting athletes, international and local government officials,
and millions of sport fans.
"To achieve these goals in the most professional and
reliable way we selected HCL-NICE consortium, which was the only
vendor who could provide us with an open solution that enables
situation management that integrates with such a great number of
security systems, providing us with real-time capabilities for
handling security events throughout the entire city, should they
occur."
"We are pleased to have been selected for this project and
help the Delhi Police protect the participants and attendees of
the 2010 Commonwealth Games, as well as the Delhi residents
beyond the games," said Israel Livnat, President, NICE Security
Group.
"The city of Delhi will be responsible for the security of
attendees and participants from all over the world at the
force's command and control center and headquarters, making this
project all the more important for representing the Delhi Police
professionalism and leading edge capabilities.

Nevada eyes big political gamble - Casino

LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - Like many Nevadans, hairdresser Helen Elgas is trying to decide between the devil she knows and the devil she doesn't, and the future of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, hangs in the balance.
Sitting in the shade of a strip mall on West Sahara Avenue, miles from the casino towers that symbolize Las Vegas, Elgas is not happy with Reid. But she isn't sure she can bring herself to vote for his challenger, former state assemblywoman Sharron Angle, either.
"I think Harry Reid should be taken out. I'm not sure Sharron Angle could do any better," said Elgas, 47, a registered Republican.
"He's not helping any more - he's one of the good old boys," said Elgas, who like many Americans is fed up with the political establishment as the economy falters.
"She's a dingbat," Elgas added.
A few years ago, Las Vegas laughed at the idea of a downturn in Sin City, and the Strip boomed as economic cracks appeared nationwide. But when Las Vegas fell, it fell hard.
High rollers disappeared, construction cranes ground to a halt, and the state of 2.64 million set new records -- for the highest unemployment and foreclosure rates in the nation.
Enter Sharron Angle, founder and former teacher of a one-room K-12 Christian school turned politician, who has dumbfounded much of the state with her hard-line positions on small government.
A favorite with conservative "Tea Party" activists, Angle was only 2 percentage points behind Reid in a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Tuesday.
Forty-six percent of likely voters in Nevada said they would vote for Reid if the election were today, while 44 percent chose Angle. The margin of error for likely voters in the poll was 4.6 percentage points, making Reid's lead even more tenuous.
Reid, running for a fifth term, is a staple of politics in Nevada. But people have been moving into the state so quickly that many voters have no idea what he has done for Nevada.
The state's population has nearly tripled since he was first elected to the Senate in 1986. Meanwhile, the median home price in Las Vegas is less than half its 2006 peak, leaving builders unable to compete with the glut of foreclosures.
Fighting for his political life, Reid is using negative ads starring Angle herself. In one, Angle says she would not have voted to extend unemployment insurance and adds "we really have spoiled our citizenry."
In another, reporters say she proposed phasing out the Social Security retirement system, although she has also said she wants to pay the amounts already promised in benefits.
