Pros: Terrific value, auto sets to precise time, beautiful appearance.
Cons: Convex face is more apt to get scratched, no countdown timer
I was looking for a new Casio watch with a metal bracelet watchband, and came across this item-
Main features it offers is the WaveCeptor feature, which enables auto synchronization with the radio signal transmission from the atomic clock in Colorado, combination analog and digital display, which mean it offers a host of features that are generally only available with digital watches.
The appearance of the watch is striking, with well delineated minute markers, red accents on the hands, and EL backlighting at a push of a button. The monochrome picture shown above doesn't really do it justice, because it looks much better with the red accents-
The band clasp is high quality stainless steel, with double push buttons on the sides to release it, and it latches in with a nice click. Very quick and easy to take the watch off and put it back on compared to regular straps-
The band comes sized large enough for me to wear on my ankles; it's that generously sized. However, it's easy enough to remove links to fit, using just a paper clip.
What I did was bend a small right angle in a regular paper clip to use as a driver to push out the pins. I secured the band on a rubber coated vise sideways, and put the paper clip tip in the hole, and gave it a few taps with my Leatherman, and the pin popped right out. (Observe the arrows on the back of the links to see which direction you need to tap the pin out from). Remove and reconnect the links as necessary, and you're set.
There's one small fine tune adjustment on the band clasp, but it's fairly limited; it allows you to tighten up the band just a smidgeon.
To figure out how many links I needed to remove on each side, I placed the watch against my wrist, and looked at the position of one of the links on the side, then pulled the watch up so that the clasp was against my wrist, in the desired position. Counted off the difference in the links to the same position, and determined the number of links that had to be removed. Then did the same for the other side.
Got it right on the first try that way- :)
The band has a natural contour at the ends of the watch, so it curves comfortably, and fits very well. It works much better than my Casio ProTrek watch, with a resin band, which closes up in more of a circle, requiring it to be cinched up tighter than I like, just to prevent the watch from rotating on my wrist. There are no pressure points with this band, so it isn't obtrusive on the wrist.
Measurement with a caliper showed the watch thickness to be 13.8 mm, some thickness added by the rounded crystal.
Width is about 41.5 mm.
Overall, it's not one of those paper thin elegant watches, but not wrist brickish like my G-Shocks either. Perfect size for me- :)
The case is a combination metal and resin, which hopefully won't prove to be a problem in the future (I've had some Casio resin watches which became brittle over time, and just fractured during normal wear).
The watch doesn't have a second hand, but the minute hand moves in 20 second increments, which should be more than adequate in normal use. It jumps 1/3 of the minute increment at 20 seconds, 40 seconds, and at the top of the minute. In any event, should you want to see the seconds, you can view it from the digital display at the bottom.
The watch offers three modes for the digital display in timekeeping mode:
: Month-date / Day of the week
: Time HH:MM / Seconds
: Month-date / Seconds
This allows you to choose whatever's most important for you to see, and is easily toggled between with the push of the top left button.
Another display function is for world time, which will show the time in the city of your choice, in the digital display (the analog time will remain at your home city setting).
Five alarms can be set, three normal, one snooze alarm, and an interesting Target Alarm, which you set the desired alarm time, and the digital display shows the time remaining until that alarm time is reached. For you clock watchers, this means you can set it for lunchtime, and you can see the hours and minutes counting down until you get to run out for lunch- :-)
The snooze alarm is for a wakeup alarm, where it will go off at regular intervals after you silence it.
There are five Date Alerts that you can set: this lets you set a specific date in the year, such as an important anniversary or birthday, and the display will flash the date with an exclamation on that date- Not an alarm, but assuming you look at your watch that day, it's an indication to jog your memory that you need to do something- "better go buy some flowers or a birthday card... or else!"
Yet another feature is a Time Marker function, which allows you to generate a timestamp of a specific date and time, storing up to 30 timestamps. Could come in handy for marking off occurrences of specific events, but you need to recall what each one corresponds to- I'm not sure what exactly this feature is intended for. It's more limited in usefulness because it doesn't allow a single timestamp to be deleted; you can only delete all at once. If you're playing around and enter a timestamp, it can't be deleted in order to just retain the important ones, so it'll just add to the confusion when you go back and review the data set.
And finally, a stopwatch function with split time readout; readout in 1/100th second increments, up to a maximum of 1 hour, before looping around to zero again.
The common function that seems to be lacking in this and a lot of Casio watches is the countdown timer; not sure why they opt not to include it. I'd venture to guess that most people would find it much more useful than the timestamp function they included, but it is what it is-
I have the black dial version of this watch (blue and white are also available), and I think the appearance is really impressive; very clean and functional high tech look, with all the markings providing a real purpose. I frequently find myself gazing upon it admiringly, 'cause it just looks so nice- :-)
I was looking for something with the Tough Solar feature, which this doesn't have, but the CR1620 battery is rated to operate for 2 years with daily alarm use and one daily backlighting operation, so it wouldn't be much hardship to change the battery every now and then. Could be better than the Tough Solar, in fact, as even the rechargeable battery in the Tough Solar watches will eventually die at some point, and replacements will not be simple as the CR1620 lithium this one uses.
The caseback is secured with four small screws, so it's a simple matter for a DIY battery replacement. If you want to maintain the maximum water resistance, you should take extra care to fully clean the sealing area and gasket before reinstalling. Casio's party line on battery replacement is to send it off to them to do, where they'd probably replace the o-ring seal, but I'd only consider it for the 200m watches used for diving. Don't plan to dive with this, so I'll do it myself for the 99c cost of a replacement battery. :D
The acrylic crystal on this watch is not recessed like on Casios of the G-Shock ilk, so it will be more apt to getting accidentally scratched if you brush up against something hard, so extra care is called for. It's not a rough and tumble kind of watch in that regard.
Because it's relatively soft, however, small scratches can be readily buffed out.
Water resistance is rated to 50 meters, again not G-Shock level, but adequate in normal use, carwashing and swimming included.
All in all, an excellent value in the Casio line, and highly recommended.

I'm very close to my sister. We don't always see each other as much as we'd like because of our busy lives, but I know she will always be there for me if I need her, as I will for her. My oldest brother is another story. Not that he's toxic by any means. It's just that he is 18 years older than me, and because of that, we don't have much of a relationship. He was out of the house by the time I got old enough to remember anything, and his kids are around my age. We get along ok, are polite to each other and all that, but we just don't have anything in common. Plus, he lives in Wasilla Alaska and is a BIG fan of Sarah Palin, which is just something that I can not tolerate! :lol
Thanks for your responses, guys! I try not to deal with her. It isn't as easy as I hoped it would be.
We've been lucky to be surrounded by loving friends and family.
On a positive note, my sister's pregnancy is going very well and she seems past the dangerous stage. In a couple of weeks, we'll know the sex of the baby. We can't wait to have some joy in our life!
I'm so sorry for your loss DesertRose. :grouphug
Desert Rose, I am so sorry for your loss.
Death, even if not unexpected, is very difficult to deal with.
My prayers are with you and your family.
Desert Rose, I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope the memories of the time you spent with your dad at the end will be a comfort to you and your family.
DesertRose - my heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Desert Rose, I am sorry for your loss but hope you are comforted that your father was surrounded by all who loved him. Continued best wishes for your sister's pregnancy.

WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn. (AP/WTNH) — Gov. Dannel P. Malloy is flying round-trip to Washington, D.C. to highlight new nonstop service from Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks.
Malloy, the executive director of the Connecticut Airport Authority and executives from JetBlue Airways Corp. Thursday discussed the new, daily, nonstop round-trip service from Bradley to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
JetBlue begins two daily, nonstop flights between Hartford and Washington's Reagan National Airport (DCA). The first leaves at 6:24 a.m. The other departs at 6:30 p.m.
United and US Airways are the only other airlines from Bradley with direct service to DC.
Malloy planned to board the flight and travel to Washington for a second news conference about the new service, scheduled approximately two-and-a-half hours later.
A spokesman for the governor said Malloy had no other events scheduled in Washington on Thursday and would not be leaving the terminal. He said Malloy planned to immediately fly back to Connecticut after the second news conference was finished.

It's something of a family affair with their son Anthony, 20, a Ripon High grad, is coaching the defensive backs on the team, and daughter Kaylee, 17, a Ripon High School senior, is acting as the mascot, "Maxxy."
Former Manteca High football coach Jeff Watson is doing some coaching as he did at MHS from 1982 to 1985 when the school won four consecutive VOL championships. Watson played at Manteca High from 1974 to 1977. He also played for Delta College and for the Arizona Wranglers in 1980.
Two of the Maniax team members are from the Manteca area. Shannon Sandoval, 35, is playing as a running back and Celeste Pamisan, 19, is from Lathrop. She is a running back and a middle line bakcer – a grad from Sierra High School.
Co-owner Dineen Goodwin played women's tackle football as a center last year, but had to be sidelined because of a torn ACL, she said. "I definitely plan on playing next year." The team she played for disbanded because of economic concerns, she added.
The first of eight league games took place Ssaturday against the Sacramento Sirens at the Modesto Christian High School Stadium. They are part of the Independent Women's Football League (IWFL) headquartered out of Texas.
The Ripon owners hope to elevate women's football in the area by providing "the best opportunity for players and fans" to enjoy the sport at its highest level.
IWFL chief executive officer Laurie Frederick commented on the new team saying, "This is a really exciting new team. They have created a solid foundation on which to build women's football in the San Joaquin Valley.
"With the support they have from their community, this new team is going to do big things," she said.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -- Two popular television series that helped cement Albuquerque's reputation as a film center have ended their runs, but industry officials are optimistic that a so-called "Breaking Bad" bill to sweeten incentives for television productions will help New Mexico regain its competitive edge.
Lawmakers as part of a last-minute business tax package on Saturday passed a bill to increase from 25 percent to 30 percent the rebates allowed for television shows, reviving a plan that had been vetoed by the governor a day earlier. The proposal also effectively increases the $50 million annual cap on payouts to the industry by letting unused funds roll over from one year to the next.
In vetoing the initial proposal, Gov. Susana Martinez said she supported Hollywood but could not give tax cuts to just one industry if lawmakers refused her request to pass a broader package of business tax cuts. In a last-minute deal, the Legislature complied, and Martinez has promised to sign off on the new film incentives proposal.
The proposal puts the state among the top for incentives domestically, according to Wayne Rauschenberger, chief operating officer of Albuquerque Studios. Louisiana, he said, offers a comparable rebate.
"We're excited," he said Wednesday, noting the popular television series "Breaking Bad" is wrapping up its final show at the studios next month.
"We are already getting inquiries. ... The television season really starts to pick up around May, so we are expecting between now and May to get more calls."
Another popular showed filmed in Albuquerque, "In Plain Sight," ended its final season last year.
Rauschenberger said television series are crucial business for studios because you know they will be back every year.
"Feature films tend to spend more ... but you never know which one is coming next," he said.
In addition to the increased rebate, Rauschenberger said a provision of the bill that allows $10 million in unused subsidies to carry over to the next year is important for attracting television productions because they have smaller budgets and work on shorter time frames so they need a guarantee their rebates will be made promptly. Under current law, the rebates are doled out on a first-come, first-served basis until the cap is reached. With the provision that allows unused money to rollover, the cap effectively increases after slow years, like the past few.
The industry has been struggling through a slowdown in New Mexico, which film officials have blamed on Martinez's imposition of the rebate cap after she took office two years ago.

I mostly don't? I dunno. When they ran a recruit-a-friend weekend on one of their main one-time events that made it damn near unplayable during the first two days that I didn't bother taking the third off of work (oh but here have some precursors), then called Sunshine Island a "mini-expansion". Right.
I had a lot of fun with the weapon system. A lot of fun playing around with dual sword mesmers and melee necros and messing around with whatever else I felt like. ArenaNet's disregard for their players through their "marketing team" is going beyond disrespectful, and quite frankly the people with Stockholm Syndrome around it disgust me. Still waiting on "January's one of our biggest patches ever" guys. If half your team's taking vacation time, you don't promise that. Or then just delay by a month (now three) and have people still waiting for that "expansion's worth of content" that's amounted to... a shit tonne of tooltip updates, PvP leaderboards that don't work off of an ELO/MMR system, and a few events. It took seven months post-launch to get item previews from the Trading Post, or even better, server guesting, a feature that was promised to us in Alpha. A lot of my gamer friends went to different servers to play with their circles, but we had plans to get together via guesting, keep that going for us. Well, as some people faded in and out, each circle diminished in size, and those friends went back to playing other games, but people can use it now to hop onto servers where events are going on.
Not to mention that anyone who voiced concerns to ANet on their shit about Ascended Gear was treated with such utter contempt by the community on the O-Boards, the staff themselves through twitter accounts, yeah nice.
I liked the mechanics, chasing down champions to solo them without leaving melee range whenever possible was always amusing (and learning how to go toe-to-toe on dungeon bosses while everyone else was desperately trying to graveyard zerg rather than L2P) was great fun. But the company's left such a sour aftertaste that... I don't know. I find it hard to want to invest anything back in at this point.

Just because its on my hard drive and sometimes I get bored, I wouldn't particularly say I'm going out of my way to play it, the lack of LFG and having to use a website to form a group left it impossible (well not realyl but harder) to form a story mode AC and noone wanted me in there explorable mode because I was too noob :S Shame because I started to get in to it a bit more.
Just started playing a bit again, and they finally fixed one of the traits of the Engineer. Took them long enough, now if only they could fix the rest of the broken traits...
To declare that a personal, inner experience gives certainty about the workings of the universe is to assign far too much value to one's subjective sense of conviction.
I'm not that arrogant.
The brain, marvelous instrument though it is, isn't infallible. It can misfire, seize or hallucinate, and it can do so in a way that's utterly indistinguishable from reality to the person experiencing it.
Future pvp updates, for now I just grind pve until the pvp is fixed. After my monthlies though I go play WoW until next month comes.
What I would like is a 5man progression dungeon. Its a huge dungeon with multiple bosses and takes hours to complete. You unlock stages that take you deeper towards an ultimate goal. What they have now are different paths within the same dungeon. I would like to see a linear path of increasing difficulty the size of storymode+3 explorable modes. Where you end up taking on larger and more complex bosses, picking up items along the way to help you (like legendaries) but you can't keep them. Have it save your progress so you can return to it later on.
I would also like to see some kind of guild raid. I like that they have implemented guild missions and I have the feeling that they will develop things to do with your guild further. Perhaps even instanced raids.
"you can't be serious!!" - yes actually I am.
I guess mostly because it's casual friendly or easy to pick up like some said. The dailys are easy and a good reason to do something in the world and not hang around in the same dungeon all day.
Alts also are a good option for me. I have three 80's now and a 30 on it's way.
Oh and also for someone who usually does very little pvp, I REALLY enjoy changing my build very fast WITHOUT FARMING my a... off. When I loose it's my build or my skill. No excuses the gear difference made me go down
Edit... What syn said: This game gives me a feeling people are around to help each other, not to try to be fast and be the first and ONLY one to pick up the loot / mob.

So, I havent played WoW for a loong time and I wont as its boring as most MMOs atm for me. I dont play a lot anymore but Im thinking about coming back and give GW2 a chance to play it very casually.
I did play it to like lvl 7 then I quit when it came out lol. It just felt like every MMO before for me and the instant 80 and all skills/weapons for PvP was just too much. It felt like it was too much to learn at once. Sure u can lvl and take it slow but I played WoW at that moment too.
Anyway Im just checking here is there like anything to do when you are 80? Like collect some gear or armor to look cool. I always like to like have some kind of goal and as this game doesnt really seem to have a straight goal I dunno. With that said I dont need a new goal all the time as WoW release patches.
That jumping thing that looks a little like minecraft looks fun as hell. Ill probably DL it again.
Used to play it unlike "Sunshine Island" as someone said *laughed way too much at that* and then just lost any interest. So, Anet said they didn't want gear treadmills, games you grind in or to "play as you like?" BS - fractals get you gear, you either grind or have F all to do (I know...jumping puzzles, exploration...I just found it depressing how there's no one in the world and just in Lion's Arch) and it feels different to how I thought. I know it wasn't meant to be like GW 1, which I actually play a fair bit now and love, but at the same time it doesn't feel anything like it. Even if this might sound like a QQ or whine I really feel like Anet lied and made a generic MMO. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth as I really loved this game at the start, now its months since I logged in.
I play because it has always been fun and will always be fun. Have I ever managed to play long enough to hit 80? No. Most of it is because I spend a lot of time mucking about doing lots of other things instead of 'leveling'. There's nothing specifically wrong with that, but I feel I have missed some of the enjoyment for having 'end game' goals that I can accomplish such as going for legendaries and specific gear, farming gold, etc.
It's fun to run around any lower zone I please, but not being able to do the highest level content means I'm missing out on more than people give the game credit for. SAB brought me back, but hopefully I can stick around for a while now. It also doesn't help that GW2 triggers my altitis because of how fun it is to create new characters and how different they are visually and in playstyle.
Habit, familiar, been playing for 7 years, feel at home, still need to get legendary's. I'm always on the fence as to if that is enough to keep me here, since the community is dire and the game is boring.
If he was really speaking about the GW universe, it seems a little silly to group games that are completely different in terms of gameplay and design given the original topic.
But in all possibility he could be talking about GW2 as the legendary statement would be more apt for this game. I was just all sorts of confuzzled. If they don't respond, it was probably about WoW lol.
You can do so much in this game, and yet most people choose to do nothing. One of the many reasons that what I play and what I read on the forums is two different realities, and it has never been more true than with GW2 and MMO Champion.

How about Hengbart?
Auxerre defender Cedric Hengbart has emerged as another potential picking for the Potters, but we`re not the only ones after his services as Wigan, Blackburn, QPR and Newcastle are equally interested.
The 30-year-old attacking right-back is in the final year of his contract, however he can buy himself out of the contract for as little as £500,000 under the confusingly complicated Webster ruling.
Tony Pulis has been making a couple of personal scouting trips, watching players from here to Timbuktu, and Hengbart has been one of the players to shine through Tony`s specs. It has hinted in the past that a centre back is high on the club's summer agenda, so both Hengbart and Liam Ridgewell have the biggest chance of moving to the Brit.
Teams in Germany are also interested in Hengbert's services, but they face fierce competition from the Premier League clubs.
Cedric said: 'I have contacts in England. Stoke and Blackburn are the most serious ones and there's also QPR to a slightly less degree.
'Werder Bremen and Hannover have also been in touch. But Germany is my third priority behind England and France.'
Toulouse have made an offer of £1.4million to Auxerre for the defender, but Hengbart still has his heart set on England.
I think a bit of Googling is in order before I can make a comment on the player, but we are right in looking for a defender. We need some form of back-up for Ryan Shawcross and Robert Huth, especially as Abdoulaye Faye has parted company with us. Perhaps a player such as Cedric Hengbart can offer some valuable experience to influence the ever developing Shawcross.

text: Testimonials Posted By OneSound on December 17, 2013 in Uncategorized | "I can't say enough good things about DJ Battle. DJ Battle was extremely professional and his services went beyond our expectations. Everyone knows that the key to a great reception is great music. DJ Battle worked with us before the wedding to determine our musical tastes and styles and tailor made a playlist that was totally ours. Our guests stayed on the dance floor until our wedding ended. Afterwards, people have contacted me to comment on how fun it was to dance and how great the music was. Wedding planning is hectic enough; do yourself a favor and hire DJ Battle to give you peace of mind about your music. Best wishes!" – Crystal 4/25/2015 Words cannot express how satisfied we are with One Sound and Entertainment services. Throughout the process of booking with Mark, he was patient, kind, very informative, and attentive to our needs. The up lighting that he provided for our reception, received so many compliments from our guests and we were blown away as well. Most importantly, The music was AMAZING!! I believe everyone that attended our wedding and reception had a blast! People are still talking about you Mark!! 😉 With his blessed talents, it produced a beautiful atmosphere we will never forget! Thank you for everything Mark! You are truly amazing! God Bless you!! <3 — Tamika 4/18/2015 I am still on Cloud 9 from my wedding thanks to DJ Mark Battle! I am not sure how most people choose or meet the people that will be providing entertainment for their wedding, but my first meeting with him was pretty awesome! Initially, my husband and I were not very vocal about our music selections and I personally did not know how I wanted my wedding to flow. DJ Battle was so personable and patient and offered suggestions based on certain things that he gathered from speaking with us; and was able to provide the perfect background to our love story! Although I was extremely busy greeting and thanking people after my wedding, I couldn't stop myself from breaking away to jump on the dance floor because I literally loved EVERY song that he played! He is very professional and attentive! The music, lightning and entertainment were the perfect final touch to a perfect evening! — Nisan 4/15/2015 DJ Battle is the BEST DJ EVER! I didn't want to eat my food; I didn't even want to take pictures! All I wanted to do was get on the dance floor with my husband and all of our friends! This man is a MASTER and he knows his craft. So many of our guests told us that our wedding was the best wedding that they ever attended, and DJ Battle/One Sound Entertainment was a large part of why our wedding was so amazing. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! — Fabiola 11/9/2014 AMAZING!!!!! This was by far the BEST money that we spent. He was worth every penny. He was really able to make the music transistion with the mood of the party. There was something for everyone. He is officially Re family function DJ from now on! —James and Hillary whose wedding was 11/11/11 Mark was truly a pleasure to work with from start to finish! He was very responsive to our emails and phone calls, he paid attention to our desires to incorporate African music into the reception, he took the time and effort to pronounce names correctly, and was extremely professional the entire time. The lighting was beautiful and the music was great! I would definitely recommend One Sound and Entertainment and I hope to use their services again at other celebrations in the future. If you are looking for a DJ look no further! You will not be disappointed! —Joe and Stacie, Lawrenceville, GA whose wedding was 6/18/2011 My bride and I were extremely thankful for the professionalism, music, and tempo of our wedding. One sound entertainment was the right choice for us. We had a wedding with several Bishops, Elders, and Deacons in the reception…so the music selection was very sensitive, but we wanted to have a great time dancing the evening away. One Sound entertainment got it right all evening. Everyone had a great time dancing and still felt they were saved the next day I would recommend this DJ for any function at any time, any place, or any where….they are that good. —-Greg and Amy, Atlanta whose wedding was 5/21/2011 My wife and I live in New Jersey. We opted to have our wedding in Atlanta because we love the city. Being out-of-towners, however, we weren't able to rely on our network to find a DJ. We had to interview DJs and cross our fingers on finding someone we thought would make our guests happy they flew in for our wedding. Mission accomplished! One Sound got everything right. From the reception to the entrance of the wedding party to the first dance, One Sound did a phenomenal job. That's not even to mention special requests. I asked for One Sound's help in surprising my wife with a serenade during the wedding. They were more than accommodating. I know what you're saying, "What about the music!?" I saved the best for last. The music was phenomenal. People forgot to eat because the were so busy dancing. The music was so good, in fact, we're looking for a reason to bring One Sound up to NJ to DJ a party for us here. You can't go wrong with One Sound Entertainment. —Talib and Ayanna, New Jersey whose wedding was 6/19/2011

MasterCard, Telefónica partner on mobile payments
MasterCard, Telefónica partner on mobile payments in Brazil. Targeting mainly pre-paid clients, the partnership will offer payments, transfers, purchases and other transactions
Sao Paulo, November 28, 2012 – The Telefónica Group and MasterCard International today unveiled MFS, a joint venture between the two companies that will develop mobile payment solutions in Brazil.
MFS' first product, set to launch in April 2013, will be a pre-paid account accessed via mobile phones alongside a MasterCard card, which will let consumers transfer cash to other people, make in-store purchases, top-up airtime and carry out other financial transactions.
The product will primarily focus on the payment requirements of Telefónica Vivo customers who do not have bank accounts, offering them financial inclusion. However, users who already have current accounts can also sign up for the service. Cash can be transferred onto pre-paid accounts at mobile phone refill stations, supermarkets and newspaper stands.
The product uses USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) technology and is compatible with all GSM devices, allowing real-time interaction with users. Furthermore, transactions are completely secure as none of the data provided while browsing, such as a password, is stored on the device.
Electronic payments within reach of millions in Brazil
"The new product will provide ease of use, inclusion, control and security for millions of Brazilians, backed up by the reputation and financial strength of two major companies, MasterCard and Telefónica", said Marcos Etchegoyen, CEO of MFS Serviços de Meios de Pagamento Ltda."The pre-paid cell phone account opens doors for millions of Brazilians who own mobile phones but have never benefitted from electronic payments or current accounts", he added.
Similar services provided via partnerships between Telefónica and MasterCard are available in Argentina and Peru. Financial transactions based on USSD technology are widely used in Africa and the Philippines. Telefónica/Vivo has been using this technology since October 2011 to top-up mobile phones and attracts over 7 million accesses per month.
"Telefónica/Vivo's coverage in over 3.7 thousand Brazilian cities will be a major driver in offering mobility and the features of this service to large sections of the population", said Antonio Carlos Valente, CEO of the Telefónica Group in Brazil. "This product fits the company's commitment to offer solutions that improve people's lives, reducing distances and making communications faster and more digital", added Valente.
Gilberto Caldart, managing director of MasterCard Brazil and GeoSouth, said "mobile phone payments is just one of MasterCard's commitments towards efficiently driving financial inclusion and providing millions of people who currently have no access to traditional financial channels a quick, transparent and secure way of making financial transactions".

Cutaneous and pulmonary paracoccidioidomycosis in a patient with a malignant visceral tumor*
Adriana Maria PorroI; Osmar RottaII
IPhD. Adjunct Professor, Department of Dermatology, São Paulo School of Medicine, Federal University of São Paulo, São Paulo, SP, Brazil

Paracoccidioidomycosis is a systemic mycosis caused by the fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis that is characterized by polymorphous clinical manifestations principally affecting the skin, mucous membranes, lungs, lymph nodes, adrenal glands and the central nervous system. Depending on the site of inoculation and the individual's immunological status, the disease may take various different forms, affecting the skin, lymph nodes, viscera or a combination of these. The present report describes a patient with extensive cutaneous and pulmonary paracoccidioidomycosis, with disseminated papules and pustules, fever and pulmonary symptoms, probably related to immunosuppression caused by a renal carcinoma.
Keywords: Carcinoma; Immunocompromised host; Kidney neoplasms; Paracoccidioidomycosis
A 68-year old man presented with acute fever, a dry cough and disseminated papules and pustules (Figures 1 and 2). Direct examination of the skin lesion: round-shaped, multi-budding, birefringent walled yeasts. Histopathology of the skin: Suppurative granuloma, round-shaped structures compatible with Paracoccidioides sp (Figures 3 and 4). Positive serology (1:4 dilution) for Paracoccidioides (immunodiffusion - antigen gp43). Chest x-ray: Perihilar infiltrates. Computed tomography of the abdomen: Image suggestive of renal carcinoma. Treatment was initiated with itraconazole 400 mg/day and both the patient's general state of health and his skin lesions improved. Resection of the renal carcinoma was performed (multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma, a variant of clear cell renal cell carcinoma). This exuberant and atypical manifestation that resulted in the inclusion of numerous differential diagnoses emphasizes the importance of direct examination, a simple and inexpensive tool, for confirmation of diagnosis. The clinical behavior of this deep mycosis as an opportunistic disease should also be emphasized, this finding also being present in patients who are immunocompromised due to other causes such as organ transplantation or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. 1-6

Wendy's Co.'s WEN, +0.29% fourth-quarter earnings soared as the burger chain's growth initiatives helped to improve revenue, although margins and same-store sales slipped.
The company also forecast 2013 adjusted per-share earnings of 18 cents to 20 cents, while analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters were expecting 17 cents.
"We are also very encouraged by the continued success of our Image Activation initiative, which is transforming our brand in the eyes of consumers," said President and Chief Executive Emil Brolick.
Wendy's said it will accelerate its Image Activation initiative in 2013 and expects to complete 200 total reimages in 2013, including about 100 franchised reimaged restaurants.
Wendy's plans to focus more on low-priced menu items this year to compete with McDonald's Corp. (MCD) and other fast-food chains that are attracting more cost-conscious consumers. The company also has been revitalizing its image and menu, with the aim of becoming viewed as "a cut above" traditional fast food. The chain's premium burgers, salads and sandwiches also generate higher profit margins and have thus been of greater interest to franchisees.
Wendy's same-store sales in North America fell 0.2% at company-owned restaurants and 0.6% at franchised ones in the latest quarter. That metric, which includes restaurants that were open for at least 15 straight months, is a key indicator of the chain's momentum.
Wendy's reported a profit of $22.4 million, or six cents a share, up from $3.98 million, or one cent a share, a year earlier. Excluding costs to discontinue breakfast at some restaurants, a $4.6 million dividend from Arby's and a $5.4 million tax benefit, adjusted earnings from continuing operations were eight cents a share, up from four cents a year ago.
Revenue increased 2.4% to $629.9 million.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters most recently projected earnings of four cents on revenue of $638 million.
Company-operated restaurant margin shrank to 4.2% from 4.8%.
Shares closed Tuesday at $4.90 and were inactive premarket. The stock is down roughly 9% over the past year.

lack of officials to examine luggage,

The American Sporting club, of which
Jack Skelly, of Brooklyn, N. Y., Is man
ager, gave another fistic exhibition! In
Music hall last night before about 300
spectators. At 9.15 o'clock Announcer
William Burns, of Carbondale, stepped
into the ring and Introduced Patrick
Murphy, of this city, as tho referee of
the bouts, and Edward CoUman, also
of this city, as timekeeper.
The first preliminary bout was be
tween two 116-pound men, Jock Living
ston, of Taylor, and Frank Joyce, ot
Plttston They sparred three rounds,
and It was apparent that they were
equally matched and an extra two-mtn-Me
round was given, at tho end of
which Referee Murphy declared the
contest a draw.
The other bout was betwem "Kid"
Brown, of Hartford, Conn., and Scran
ton, and "Kid" Rey, of this city, a pro
tege of Brown's. They sparred three
rounds and Rey got tho decision.
The star bout of 20 rounds was an
nounced between "Bobby" Dobbs, of
Minneapolis, Minn., and Martin Judge,
of Philadelphia, at 135 pounds. Both
men entered the ring at 9.62 o'clock and
the former was seconded by "Kid"
Brown and P. J. Maloney, of this city.
In Judge's corner waa Harry Court-
right, thie "Pine Knot" of this city, and
"Billy" Smith, of Philadelphia.
Time was called at 9.56 o'clock. Both
men sparred cautiously for a short
time, but soon mixed things up and
some lively infighting followed. After
this considerable rushing was done by
uom men ana in tms breakaways neith
er seemed to regard the referee's
warning, tho honors wero about even,
although from appearance and action
Judge did not seem to ha In firat n..
condition, while Dobbs was fit to make
tne pgnt of his life.
A few minutes before Judge entered
the ring he was smoklntr rlp-nmttoo
and appeared a trifle nervous, although
he quickly recovered himself when time
was called. After the above round it
was apparent that Dobbs would rush
maners ana when tho contestants
came together for the second round,
some lively work ensued, nniiha hM
one glove on Judge's neck and rushed
mm arouna tne ring until he got him
In his own corner, and there he kept
him, landing several body blows and
upper-cuts. Judge appeared to be

GROUP tours
Discounts for 6+ persons!!!
Although our tours are normally small (max 11 persons), there are times when we may host larger groups. However, to try to retain a personal level, we do limit these to around 30 persons. To transport this number, we must hire-in a luxury coach (still with pick-up from your Cruise Boat and/or Hotel accommodation).
Depending on the itinerary, Lunch can be included at a winery, or a local upmarket cafe, (all with wine/beer included).
Been reading the statements made by other Auckland tours...?
Here's how WE validate ours...
- You get lots of experiences in your limited time because our tours do not involve a lot of traveling.
- You get personally hosted because we are the owner/operators and we don't pass you onto a 3rd party.
- You get a legally-operated tour because we hold all licenses (as well as Registered to visit Auckland Parks).
- You get a flexible tour because we fit in with your Cruise Boat schedule (and we pick-up directly from your ship).
- You get a senior-friendly itinerary because there is no hiking or swimming on our tours (or waiting while others do).
- You get a local's view of the Muriwai region because we are locals.
- You get the security of being close to your boat because at no time are you anymore than 40mins from Auckland.
- You get value-for-money because everything is included in the price as well as a wine/beer with your upmarket lunch! (....and NO, you do not eat your lunch sitting in your bus seat !)
"We can appreciate you may need to have a think about things... but to avoid disappointment, don't leave booking us too late"
Especially for group (and/or Private) tours!
