MIAMI, FL -- (Marketwire) -- 02/21/13 -- Alternet Systems, Inc.'s (OTCQB: ALYI) subsidiary, Utiba Americas, a leading provider of mobile financial services solutions, and Credencial Argentina, a financial payment solutions company, have partnered to provide enhanced mobile financial services in the Americas region. The partnership with Credencial Argentina gives Utiba Americas (UA) customers the ability to issue a card, both physical and virtual, that expands the use and acceptance of UA's mobile wallet at ATM machines, retail points of sale (POS) and for online purchases. These card products can be debit, credit and prepaid.
UA's customers -- financial institutions, mobile network operators and payment service providers -- will benefit from increased end user adoption and usage, increased transaction revenues and an enhanced user experience. In the Americas region, UA's customers are located in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guatemala, Honduras, and Peru, with additional countries in deployment. UA expects to have broad regional coverage in the Americas by the end of 2013, serving a potential market of over 600 million mobile and internet users and a population of over 900 million people.
Converging Payments
The relationship with Credencial Argentina is another integral piece of UA's Converging Payments Strategy which was launched earlier 2012 with the announcement of the company's participation in MasterCard's Mobile Money Partnership. UA's strategy calls for the expansion of mobile financial services beyond a basic tool of financial inclusion for the "unbanked," a population estimated by the World Bank at 2.5 billion people worldwide. Partnerships with companies like MasterCard, Validsoft, and, now Credencial Argentina, permit UA to extend the acceptance of the mobile wallet and create more sophisticated mobile financial services, both of which increase mobile wallet adoption and transaction rates.
"Issuing a companion card linked to the mobile wallet expands the payment network to include existing points of sale (POS), ATMs and other outlets. This helps UA's customers to provide their end users with an existing payment ecosystem and acceptance network while building out their own agent networks. UA's relationship with Credencial Argentina is designed to give customers the shortest possible time-to-revenue and growth," noted Alternet Systems, Inc.'s CEO Henryk Dabrowski.
"This alliance will allow us to offer full mobile and web solutions to different clients. In our view financial institutions, governments, and retailers are looking for mobile solutions complemented by companion cards in order to cover all of the possibilities of access to goods and services by customers. We are willing to contribute with our technology and experience for the success of this relationship," said Carlos Gorleri, President and General Director of Credencial Argentina.
About Credencial Argentina
Credencial Argentina is a certified Main Member and Global Processor of MasterCard International products, developing processing solutions for financial, retail and health markets for more than 30 years. The company is recognized as a leader in the development of prepaid cards, with special focus in non-banked global markets. In the Americas region, Credencial's customers are located in more than 12 countries, with operations in Mexico, Central America, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Argentina, Uruguay and Bolivia.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity.

Highway Worker Killed In Medford Expressed Concerns About Lack Of Detail Officer28 Jun 2016 | 3:51 pmMEDFORD (CBS) –A highway worker killed on the job expressed concerns about the lack of a police detail hours before his death. Thomas O'Day posted on Facebook at 9:31 p.m. Monday, "No detail Cops…awesome…insane out here on 93 south bound." MassDOT confirms they allowed the work to go on without a police detail. "The crew was deployed for a 'low risk' task at ramps," a spokeswoman told the I-Team. "The alleged drunk driver ran into the truck and crew member in a designated 'work zone' at the ramp in spite of a flashing arrow sign, safety cones, and two trucks with flashing lights on." According to MassDOT a "low risk" job can be based on the speed limit or working conditions....
Seeing Double, Again? Third Generation Of Twins To Be Born Into Plymouth Family28 Jun 2016 | 3:45 pmPLYMOUTH (CBS) — What are the odds of having identical twins? Three in one-thousand. So what are the odds of one family having three sets of identical twins? Astronomical. But that's what's going on in Plymouth with the Christopher family. "I just feel so blessed, now that it's going to be three generations," said Eileen Christopher, the matriarch. She has an identical twin sister named Elane. And 31 years ago, Eileen gave birth to Justin and Jason. "I tell people I had a womb-mate," says Jason. Now, Jason's wife is pregnant with identical twins Charlotte and Violet. "When I saw the ultrasound, I said is that two?!" said Amanda Christopher. So now, there will be three generations of identical twins in the...
Marlboro Police Arrest 2 On Firearms, Explosives Charges28 Jun 2016 | 3:21 pmFRAMINGHAM (CBS) – Two people were arrested on firearms and explosives charges after a man with a gun was reported in Marlboro. Just before 3 a.m., police were called to Boston Post Road for a report of a man standing outside a home with a gun. Officers found Andrew Josefek, 40, of Framingham in the area. Police say Josefek was carrying a gun and two knives and a second firearm was found nearby. After investigating, police discovered that one person had allegedly been assaulted by Josefek and he was taken into custody. Police soon learned that Josefek had been driven to Marlboro from Framingham by a woman, who was identified as Kelly Walker, 35. Walker was found a short time later. Police saw a shotgun...
Proposed Bill Would Let Passersby Break Into Hot Cars To Rescue Pets28 Jun 2016 | 2:37 pmBOSTON (CBS) — "It's animal torture." That's what Massachusetts state Senator Mark Montigny calls leaving a dog in a car on a hot day. Montigny says just this past weekend, police officers in Wrentham had to pull two dogs from sweltering vehicles in a mall parking lot. "By the time police got there it was 130 degrees in the car, it's outrageous!" Montigny is sponsoring a bill called An Act To Prevent Animal Suffering and Death. It calls for penalties for anyone who leaves a dog in a motor vehicle in a manner that threatens the health of an animal. It also enables first responders, animal control officers, and ordinary citizens to break into a car and remove an animal after first attempting to...

Infinity Pharma lays off another 100 after AbbVie ends partnership28 Jun 2016 | 4:22 amEmbattled biotech Infinity Pharmaceuticals is laying off another 100 employees just two weeks after laying off 46 researchers, this time after AbbVie opted out of a partnership on its main drug. For Cambridge-based Infinity (Nasdaq: INFI), the 100 new layoffs cut headcount by 58 percent, but added to the cuts announced June 14 when disappointing trial results of its blood cancer drug duvelisib was first announced, the company is now down by two-thirds to about 74 employees.

Startup M&A: Why a Letter of Intent Deserves Your Full Attention28 Jun 2016 | 9:03 amYou might know it as a letter of intent or a term sheet. Maybe you've heard it referred to as an MOU, or memorandum of understanding. Whatever you call it, this document of about five pages is a summary of the terms of a deal the parties hope to close down the line. If buyers and sellers don't have a meeting of the minds early on in the game, it's possible that, deeper into negotiations, the proposed terms in the definitive agreement could derail weeks of work, wasting everyone's time and energy. The MOU's goal is to make sure everyone is on the same page. KEY COMPONENTS: What appears to be a simple, straightforward document has the potential to scuttle a deal, so it's vital to understand the...
CloudLock Bought by Cisco for $293M After Pivot to Cloud Security28 Jun 2016 | 7:26 amThe Boston-area cybersecurity scene is ripe with acquisition targets. IBM bought incident-response firm Resilient Systems earlier this year. Now, Cisco Systems says it is acquiring CloudLock, a Waltham, MA-based cloud security company, for $293 million in cash and stock, plus retention-based incentives for CloudLock employees who join Cisco. It's one of the biggest exits of the year in the local tech community. And the story of CloudLock, which raised about $35 million in venture funding, holds lessons for entrepreneurs of all stripes. The company got started in 2007, under the name Aprigo. It was incubated by venture firm Cedar Fund, which led a $3 million Series A round for the company in 2008. Back...
More Job Cuts at Infinity As AbbVie Sends Back Blood Cancer Drug28 Jun 2016 | 5:47 amThe outlook for Infinity Pharmaceuticals didn't look good after its blood cancer drug, duvelisib, came up short in a critical clinical trial a few weeks ago, and the situation has gotten worse today. AbbVie has sent the rights to duvelisib back to Infinity, leading to another round of job cuts at the Cambridge, MA, company. Infinity (NASDAQ: INFI) said this morning that it couldn't come to terms with AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) about a possible restructuring of their partnership on duvelisib. As a result, the two companies have terminated the deal—which could have netted Infinity more than $200 million down the road—and Infinity has regained duvelisib. Infinity is also cutting 58 percent of its remaining...
Amid Brexit Fallout, U.K.-Listed PureTech Debuts Speech Diagnosis Firm27 Jun 2016 | 11:01 pm[Updated 6/28/16, 12:50pm. See below.] PureTech Health starts companies in cutting-edge areas of biomedical science and often owns them outright. Its latest aims to create software that listens for warning signs of depression in people's speech patterns. The unveiling of the firm, called Sonde Health, comes at a curious time for Boston-based PureTech. Shares of PureTech are publicly traded, not in the U.S., but on the London Stock Exchange. Like most of the world's stock markets, the LSE has plummeted since Britons voted late last week to leave the European Union. But PureTech shares are among the few that have remained in relatively good standing. While the FTSE 100—the LSE's Dow Jones-like index—has sunk...
Regulus Shares Crumble As FDA Halts Testing of Hepatitis C Drug27 Jun 2016 | 2:45 pmA new wave of drugs has changed the way hepatitis C is treated. Regulus Therapeutics has not been part of that wave, but the company's plans to join it took a big hit this afternoon. La Jolla, CA-based Regulus (NASDAQ: RGLS) said that the FDA has suspended the clinical testing of its lead drug, RG-101, because of safety problems. Regulus reported that a second serious case of jaundice, or a yellowing of the skin and eyes, in a Phase 1 study of RG-101. The FDA, as a result, has ordered the suspension—what's known as a clinical hold. Once it receives a formal letter from the FDA, Regulus says it will work with the agency to have the hold lifted. Regulus said the hold won't impact timelines for its three...

Grading the Patriots' Offseason27 Jun 2016 | 3:15 pmWith seventy-two days to go until the NFL season kicks off in Denver, Patriots fans have a right to be excited. Is it not exciting to be a die hard fan of one of the most potent teams, year in and year out? In such a weak division, the playoffs are usually a lock, and this year will be no different. The most exciting offseason move for the Patriots thus far was the acquisition of Martellus Bennett, who himself stated that he was excited to play the role of Robin, as Gronk is already Batman. Combined with Bennett, the Patriots also signed Chris Long and Nate Washington. Three veteran players who are excited to join a winning franchise could add up to a hefty sum of money, but not if you're Bill Belichick-all...

Buchholz Struggles, Bats Fail Red Sox In Texas Finale26 Jun 2016 | 4:48 pmThe Red Sox desperately needed a solid start from Clay Buchholz on Sunday; they did not get one. Sunday's 6-2 loss can be attributed to a lack of timely hitting backed up by completely subpar pitching. It might be easy to say that it's not surprising that Buchholz struggled against a Rangers team with the best record in the American League, especially with how Buchholz's season has gone this year. But John Farrell used his faith in Buchholz to justify not bringing up a reliever from Pawtucket a night after Steven Wright did not make it out of the fifth inning, and two nights after David Price didn't make it out of the third. Most Red Sox fans already knew that faith was misguided, and were not surprised...
Bruins Draft: Good But Not Great26 Jun 2016 | 11:47 amThe Bruins went into the 2016 NHL draft with relatively high expectations. With the Celtics head-scratching draft the night before stealing much of the attention of casual Boston sports fans, the B's entered the draft with uncertainty around who would be available for their first selection at 14, as well as the constant rumors that Don Sweeney would acquire defensemen Kevin Shattenkirk or Cam Fowler. Similar to the C's draft night, it seemed there would be at least one big move that would change the landscape of the team and give the fan base something they've been pleading for. At this moment, it's safe to say that didn't happen.(...)Read the rest of Bruins Draft: Good But Not Great (588 words) � Ryan...
Durant's Short List Includes Boston.25 Jun 2016 | 4:29 pmI'm sure everyone has heard, Durant and his people have released a list of teams that they will be meeting with during free agency. This list includes, The Golden State Warriors, Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, L.A. Clippers, The Thunder, and yes The Boston Celtics. Think about this list, a team that just broke the regular season wins record, a team who recently won back to back championships, the best team of the last 10 plus years, a team that has Cp3 and Blake Griffin, and the team that drafted him. This is the brass of the NBA (besides Cleveland). Yes, The Celtics are more than likely number 6 on this list, however at least they are on it. This list does not include the glamour of The Lakers,...

Two Small Examples Of Buddy Ryan's Huge Influence On Bill Belichick28 Jun 2016 | 1:37 pmBy Matt Dolloff, CBS Boston BOSTON (CBS) — Tributes poured in across the football world to the passing of former NFL coach Buddy Ryan on Tuesday, and for good reason. The father of Rex and Rob Ryan was one of the game's true innovators on defense and one of the original "defensive masterminds." In New England, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has been so singularly great and has carved out such a massive legacy of his own, it's hard to pinpoint many people who would finish this sentence: "There would be no Bill Belichick without __________." But Buddy Ryan could be argued as one of those guys. Belichick released a statement Tuesday afternoon through the team, paying his respects to Ryan and his...
Smart Brings Important Message, And Fierce Defense, To His Basketball Camp28 Jun 2016 | 1:32 pmBOSTON (CBS) — Whether he's on the court defending an All Pro, or challenging a youngster to a fun game of one-on-one, Marcus Smart is one intense dude. Look no further than his summer basketball camp at Brandeis on Tuesday. One lucky kid got to take on Smart, and got a first-hand look at the suffocating defense the rest of the NBA has seen from the Celtics guard in his two seasons in the league. Smart's swagger was on full display too. After stealing the ball and draining a three over Newton's Chris Matthews, Smart whooped it up a bit as the hundreds of kids attending the camp joined in the celebration. That's Marcus Smart in a nutshell. He simply hates to lose, which has been part of his DNA since...
Felger & Mazz: 'Someone's Getting Fired This Week' If Red Sox Don't Improve28 Jun 2016 | 12:55 pmBOSTON (CBS) — The Boston Red Sox got off to a good start in April and May, but have plummeted back to Earth and beyond with a 9-15 record in June. The pitching staff has shown no signs of improving and frustration is building over manager John Farrell. Questions have surrounded the team, Farrell, his coaching staff, and Red Sox pitchers for most of the 2016 season, but the problems appear to be coming to a head in the wake of the extreme struggles by Eduardo Rodriguez, a perceived lack of leadership on the pitching staff, and mismanagement in the clubhouse. The fact that the struggles not only continued but seemed to get worse against the lowly Rays has made the team's issues all the more...
Report: Red Sox, Jason Groome Far Apart In Contract Negotiations28 Jun 2016 | 12:25 pmBOSTON (CBS) — When Jason Groome slipped all the way to the Red Sox at 12th overall in this year's MLB Draft, it was considered a worthwhile risk for the team. As it currently stands, the risk does not appear to be paying off. According to SB Nation's Chris Cotillo, the Red Sox "are not close to a deal" with the talented young left-hander. The deadline to reach a deal is July 15, so the clock is beginning to tick loudly inside the offices at Yawkey Way. Cotillo noted that Groome has reportedly been seeking a $4 million bonus, which is close to $1 million over the slotted value of the 12th pick. @IAmJamesStewart Not officially a waste at this point, though seems like no progress in talks since the draft....
Robb: Horford Interest At Least An Encouraging Sign For Celtics' Pursuit Of Durant28 Jun 2016 | 11:53 amBy Brian Robb, CBS Boston BOSTON (CBS) – Danny Ainge has a plan to recruit Kevin Durant this summer, and one of his main selling points for the All-Star forward appears to be coming into focus. Marc Stein on ESPN.com is reporting that the Celtics are one of at least eight teams that will be recruiting Hawks center Al Horford when free agency opens on July 1. The Hawks still hope to keep their franchise centerpiece, while the Lakers, Rockets, Magic, Pistons, Wizards, and Nets are the squads expecting to be chasing the 30-year-old as well. The Celtics are the only team on that list that also will have an audience with fellow free agent Kevin Durant next month, according to the Vertical's Adrian...

The attackers reportedly tried to penetrate the "control point" coming into the airport. Security personnel then opened fire to "neutralise" the attackers, who then detonated their explosives, authorities said. � � Broadcaster Haberturk said 40 people were injured in the attack.

Nike quarterly sales rise less than expected, shares drop28 Jun 2016 | 1:35 pmA Nike logo is seen on a jacket in the Nike store in Santa Monica, California, September 25, 2013. Reuters/Lucy Nicholson Nike Inc's (NKE.N) fourth-quarter revenue rose less than analysts had estimated as a strong dollar ate into sales from some overseas markets and as it cleared excess inventory in North America. Shares of the world's largest footwear maker tumbled 6.2 percent to $49.79 in extended trading on Tuesday. Nike's revenue rose nearly 6 percent to $8.24 billion in the fourth quarter ended May 31. Analysts on average had expected revenue of $8.28 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. The company, which owns the Jordan and Hurley brands, said its...
Congressional watchdog expands probe of lax Wall Street oversight28 Jun 2016 | 1:34 pmBy Jonathan Spicer NEW YORK (Reuters) – A U.S. congressional watchdog said on Tuesday it has formally added three agencies to its investigation into whether government regulators are too soft on the banks they are meant to police. In March, Reuters exclusively reported that the Government Accountability Office (GAO) was preparing a probe of the U.S. Federal Reserve and other to-be-determined regulators, in response to a request by Democratic U.S. Representatives Maxine Waters and Al Green for it to look into "regulatory capture." The review, requested last October, is the first by an outside agency into the perception that financial regulators are "captured" by and too deferential toward the bankers they...
Heartbroken Londoners rally against Brexit28 Jun 2016 | 1:32 pmLondon (AFP) – Waving European Union flags and chanting "no Brexit", thousands gathered under pouring rain in central London on Tuesday to express their anger and opposition to Britain's vote to leave the EU. There was a sense of anger as the crowds gathered in Trafalgar Square before marching towards parliament, urging lawmakers to block the 52 percent vote in favour of Brexit with chants of "do your job, vote it down!" Britain has been pitched into uncertainty by the June 23 referendum result, with the economy suffering a string of shocks and Scotland raising the prospect of breaking away to become independent. Carolyn Berry, a 53-year-old teacher, said she was rattled by the political chaos, which saw...

Do the Patriots really have the 2nd oldest offense in the NFL?28 Jun 2016 | 7:10 amThe latest rankings suggest they do- but is this fair? Philly Voice's Jimmy Kempski compiled the average age of offensive skill positions around the league and the New England Patriots rank 31st, thanks in part to quarterback Tom Brady who has a birthday in July and is expected to turn 73 years old. Kempski chose the quarterback, the running back, the tight end, and the top three wide receivers on each team to determine the average offensive age. I have a few hairs to split. First, I think that a snap-weighted offense is a better method of determining positional ages because offenses will never, ever, ever have the same three wide receivers, one tight end, and one running back on the field for an entire...

New England Patriots roster breakdown: #44 TE Steven Scheu28 Jun 2016 | 6:00 amCan the rookie surprise and earn a roster spot? The mandatory phase of the New England Patriots' offseason workouts is over – at least until training camp starts in late July – and we have re-entered the quieter parts of the NFL calendar. However, while the football world seemingly turns slower these days it does not stop. After all, by late August, each team has to start making its roster cuts. Until then, players have to secure their spots on the team; they need to do their jobs (well) or someone else will. Over the course of the next few weeks, we will take a look at the men fighting for those spots on the 2016 New England Patriots. Today, we'll take a look at rookie tight end Steven Scheu. Name:...
Former GM on copying the Patriots: "There's only one Bill Belichick"28 Jun 2016 | 3:59 amThis is the simple explanation for why the Patriots are the best dynasty in NFL history. The coaching tree of New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick might not be flourishing, but the seeds from his front office have spread across the league. Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht says that he drafted a kicker in the second round because of Belichick's influence. Lions general manager Bob Quinn is focusing on building the depth of the roster, just like how the Patriots did. All offshoot general managers try to build their teams in the image of the Patriots Dynasty under Bill Belichick. But if you ask one former general manager that served under Belichick, finding team success isn't as simple as...
Patriots RB LeGarrette Blount will be a lot more fun behind a good offensive line28 Jun 2016 | 3:01 amCan the Patriots new offensive line uncork their bruising back? "The crowd goes mild" was one of my favorite responses after news broke of the Patriots signing running back LeGarrette Blount. I think the deplorable offensive line play in 2015 is a large factor in the lack of excitement surrounding Blount. We've covered that Blount gained yards at a roughly league-average rate when you account for defensive personnel, but I think that he gained that yardage despite the offensive linemen. Football Perspective created a heat map for 2015 running backs with more than 100 carries in order to see how backs produced their yards. Do they break away for huge gains? Are they consistent 4-yard grinders? Do they...

MLB Farewell Tour: David Ortiz vs Derek Jeter24 Jun 2016 | 9:00 pmTwo years ago, future Hall of Famer Derek Jeter was making his final appearances at MLB stadiums across the nation.

Second Least Expensive Game UConn Game Remaining This Weekend Against Navy24 Sep 2015 | 11:00 pmHead coach Bob Diaco had some sky-high expectations heading into the 2015 season for the Connecticut Huskies, giving some notable quotes that were turned into punchlines at some media outlets. But it appears Diaco might be getting the last laugh as the Huskies have had a strong start to the season thus far, and almost pulled off a major upset win over an SEC team this past weekend against the Missouri Tigers. The UConn defense was very much ready for the matchup, posting a first-half shutout on the road at Faurot Field (the Tigers had two points at half, thanks to a safety produced against the offense). But a third-quarter touchdown run by Missouri quarterback Maty Mauk was all the Tigers needed, en route...
End of the Road (For Now)11 Aug 2015 | 7:42 amSomebody once told me good byes are permanent. They said you should say "see you later". So this isn't good bye, it's see you later (maybe). If you hadn't heard, I have decided to close up here at SOX & Dawgs. It's been almost 10 years of doing this. I've made a lot of friends through the site, made some good connections and embarked on something I truly enjoy and hope to continue down the line. In case you didn't notice, the last year or so, the site has been primarily a UConn only site with a smattering of Patriots as well. During that time, I have been covering the UConn Huskies teams almost like a beat writer with the exception of traveling on the road all of the time. I'm not a beat writer though and...

Recipe: Hearty Kale, Sweet Potato, Avocado and Grilled Chicken Salad12 Jun 2016 | 3:00 amWhen I was a child, my mother could not get me to eat anything besides hot dogs and mac 'n' cheese. As an adult, my culinary preferences could not be more opposite. I crave healthier, whole foods and love tucking into a massive, satisfying salad. Inspired by the left overs in my fridge, here is a quick and easy salad that I whipped up recently over the weekend featuring kale, sweet potato, avocado and grilled chicken. Hearty Yet Healthy Kale, Sweet Potato, Avocado and Grilled Chicken Salad Serves One Ingredients: <ul> <li>1 cup of kale, chopped, hard stems removed (Spinach, arugula or mesculn mix would all work too)</li> <li>3 oz grilled chicken strips* (I used pre-cooked, but you can also cook chicken breast and dice...</li></ul>
London: Innovative Cocktails at Opium10 Jun 2016 | 3:00 amOpium is one of those "blink and you could miss it" places. Located amid the hustle and bustle of Chinatown, I actually did miss it on my first few passes. However, once you climb up a few flights of stairs, all the find and seek is well worth it. Here's why. We ended up sitting in Peony, a special part of Opium with an innovative drink menu and cocktail bar. As I was there way before my girlfriends, I started to chat with the lovely bartender and she made me a custom cocktail with gin, watermelon, raspberry and mint. Pure perfection! For my second cocktail, I tried one a touch more creamy with apricot flavors. Also very good. Opium is located at The jade door, 15-16 Gerrard St, Chinatown, London W1D...
Recipe: Walnut and Rosemary Oven Fried Chicken8 Jun 2016 | 3:00 amI've always enjoyed healthy versions of breaded chicken. There's something about the slight crunch and texture that just works for me. While I've mastered breadcrumbs or panko toppings, the thought of adding in walnuts and rosemary had not occurred to me until I saw this recipe from Cooking Light. I ended up making this recipe with chicken breast tenderloins, which is what I had in the house. To turn these into grab-no-go lunches for the week I added in green beans, peas, edamame and a sprinkling of dried cranberries tossed in extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper to round out the meal. I also tossed some spinach in a plastic baggie to incorporate after warming in the microwave, as I dislike mushy,...
London: Burger & Lobster on Little Portland Street5 Jun 2016 | 3:00 amLondon has its fair share of quirky yet delicious restaurant concepts and Burger + Lobster is definitely one of them. On a Sunday, I went with a few friends to the new Little Portland Street outpost. � True to its name, Burger + Lobster only serves two things: burgers and lobsters – both a steamed lobster and a lobster roll. All offerings are priced the same – £20 each and come with a side salad and chips (French fries for my American readers!). Vegetarians beware – there are not any vegetarian options – unless you're down to eat a side salad and chips. Also hilarious? Whether you order a lobster or not, each diner is given a bib. Ya know, just in case. Which, is kind of clutch, as all menu...

Celebrating Fun Zootopia Toys!16 Jun 2016 | 8:39 amThe wait is over! Zootopia is now available on DVD and Blu-Ray! Thanks to TOMY toys, the mastermind behind the toys associated with the movie, we were able to celebrate the digital release of the movie with some fun new Zootopia toys. We saw Zootopia as a family on the day it was released in theaters and my husband and I definitely had some major comic relief. These days, in the wake of many scary and traumatic life situations that are happening to those around us, on a national and personal level, finding time to unwind as a family, take a moment to laugh and find some inspiration for the future is very important. I know I am just as guilty. I am a very distracted parent myself, but let's all vow...

Cirque Du Soleil Toruk The First Flight4 Dec 2015 | 1:26 pmPhoto: Youssef Shoufan Costumes: Kym Barrett © 2015 Cirque du Soleil I'll never forget my first experience at a Cirque Du Soleil show.

The TAGIE Awards at ChiTAG3 Dec 2015 | 2:57 amStop for a second and think about that toy your kids are playing with right now that they adore. The one that sleeps in bed with them at night. The toy they clutch under their arm or in their hands on trips to Target or the grocery store. Those teeny tiny collectibles you run around buying up every time you see them on a store shelf. The toy you spent hours online researching, then spent your whole day driving to 5 stores to find. Think about that special box of toys in the attic or basement that you just couldn't donate when your kids outgrew them because you plan to pass their favorite toy onto your grandchildren someday.

Drunk driver gets 12 years for killing bicyclist in Dorchester28 Jun 2016 | 1:37 pmA Dorchester man who admitted he was drunk when he took the life of a teenager waiting to cross the street with his bicycle was sentenced today to 12 years in state prison, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports. Gregory McCoy, 27, pleaded guilty to manslaughter while operating under the influence, leaving the scene of a collision causing death, and leaving the scene of a collision causing injury for the death of Fritz Philogene, 18.

New Hampshire man charged with killing Roxbury teen in 198728 Jun 2016 | 1:22 pmBrimage DNA evidence led prosecutors to a New Hampshire man for the Sept. 6, 1987 murder and raped of Dora Brimage, 19, of Roxbury. Suffolk County District Attorney Dan Conley today announced the indictment of James Paige, 50, of Manchester, NH. Paige is currently locked up in Manchester on 2015 drug charges, but is expected to be brought to Boston in the next few weeks for arraignment on murder charges. At a press conference today, Conley said: Dora Brimage was born and raised in Boston. She was active in her church, where her grandmother was a deaconess and she sang gospel in the youth choir. She hoped to pursue a career in nursing. But all her hopes, dreams, and accomplishments came to naught when...
Study finds T germs no more likely to kill you than germs anywhere else28 Jun 2016 | 12:33 pmWhere samples were collected. Posted under this license. Scientists who took samples on the MBTA from everything from subway straps to outdoor CharlieCard machines found that the microorganisms they found showed no greater virulence - or greater resistance to antibiotics - than you'd find elsewhere. In a study released today, the researchers from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health also said they found no differences based on the particular subway lines they sampled - sorry, D Line riders, stop lording it over Orange Line regulars - but did find differences between, say, vertical poles and seat backs. And indoor CharlieCard machines had different types of bacteria on their touch screens than...
Court upholds impending ballot question on letting one guy build a slots parlor near Suffolk Downs28 Jun 2016 | 11:39 amThe Supreme Judicial Court today backed letting voters decide whether a man who has an agreement to buy a mobile-home park near Suffolk Downs should be allowed to apply for a slots-parlor license for the parcel. The ruling by the state's highest court means voters this fall will vote on whether the state gaming commission should add a potential slot license that would only apply to a site that is "at least 4 acres large, and shall be adjacent to, and within 1500 feet of, a race track, including the track, grounds, paddocks, barns, auditorium, amphitheatre and/or bleachers, if any, where a horse racing meeting may physically be held, which race track shall have hosted a horse racing meeting, provided that...
O'Bryant to get interim headmaster soon as well28 Jun 2016 | 10:10 amAlthough completely overshadowed by the news out of Boston Latin School, one of the city's two other exam schools, the O'Bryant, also lost its headmaster this month. At a press conference to announce the new interim BLS headmaster today, School Superintendent Tommy Chang said he will appoint an interim O'Bryant headmaster "in coming weeks" to take over for Nicole Gittens, who announced last week she's quitting to become a deputy school superintendent in Brookline. Chang said he will also be assembling a search committee, similar to the one being put together for Boston Latin, to find a permanent replacement for Gittens by next March. He and Mayor Walsh said that like the BLS position, the job will be...

The Emotional, Physical Effects of Dog Bites20 Jun 2016 | 9:37 amEffects of a Dog Attack We grow up thinking that dog is man's best friend. When bitten by what should be a loyal and trusted companion, more than physical wounds appear, especially in children. Psychological and emotional effects are not limited to children; however, they are quite prevalent in child victims. The emotional and psychological effects of dog bites on children last long after their physical wounds have healed. Massachusetts Dog Bite Law Massachusetts Law requires "Section 155. If any dog shall do any damage to either the body or property of any person, the owner or keeper, or if the owner or keeper be a minor, the parent or guardian of such minor, shall be liable for such damage, unless...

Common Causes of Massachusetts Aviation Accidents29 Feb 2016 | 10:27 amThere is little you can do as a passenger to prevent an aviation accident. As airline passengers, we rely on aviation companies to properly maintain their planes and for pilots to exercise due care. When plane accidents do occur, the results are often tragic and devastating. It is common for passengers to suffer fatal injuries, and those who survive not only struggle with catastrophic physical injuries, but also with significant psychological trauma. The most common causes of aviation accidents include: <ul> <li>Pilot error: Pilots are responsible for navigating through dangerous conditions, responding to mechanical issues, and executing complicated takeoff and landing procedures. When pilots misread equipment,...</li></ul>
Who is Responsible for a Boston Dog Bite?25 Feb 2016 | 9:26 amDog attacks can result in devastating injuries. Depending on the size and strength of the dog, bites can result in serious injuries such as skin lacerations, broken bones, blood loss, and nerve damage. When someone has suffered a serious injury in a dog attack, it is critical to understand one's legal rights and options. When it comes to dog bite liability, the law is clear. Massachusetts has a strict liability statute when it comes to dog bite incidents. Dog owners are responsible for injuries, damages, and losses their animals cause. Under Massachusetts Chapter 140, Section 155: "If any dog shall do any damage to either the body or property of any person, the owner or keeper shall be…liable for such...
Playground Safety Tips for Boston Parents18 Feb 2016 | 9:24 amModern design and materials have made playgrounds much safer than they were a few decades ago. Poured rubber has replaced cement and more dangerous playground equipment has been phased out. But, there are still hazards present on all Boston playgrounds, and children still suffer significant injuries in playground accidents. Kids will be kids, and there is little you can do to prevent a sudden and unexpected injury on the playground. The best thing parents can do is be prepared. Here are a few playground safety tips for parents that could help prevent some of these injuries: <ul> <li>Actively supervise your children. Always have eyes on your children. Try not to be talking on the cell phone or socializing with other...</li></ul>

Drones, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), are to be deployed along China's coastline to undertake remote-sensing marine surveillance.
Local authorities said they could use the high-definition photos to discover illegal land reclamation and sand dredging as well as monitor marine environments along the coast and on islets.
The project also includes the construction of 11 UAV bases run by provincial maritime authorities, according to Yu Qingsong, a division chief of the State Oceanic Administration.
No further details on the scale or the schedule of the project were provided, but Yu noted that at least one drone would be stationed at each base.
A related trial program was launched in late 2011, when China's northeast Liaoning Province successfully took aerial photos with rented drones on a 980-square-km sea area.
A separate test on a drone-based 3D monitoring system was also conducted earlier this year by the maritime authority in east China's Jiangsu Province.

Hey everyone, I'm Justin with AmericanMuscle.com, and I'm taking a look at our AmericanMuscle GT500 Style Wheels for your 2005 and up Mustang. GT500's have always been one of the baddest Mustangs on the block and now your ride can enjoy the stylings of the 2010 GT500, thanks to these split 5-spoke wheels. The wheels are available with 3 different finishes, including a black painted finish, a triple dipped chrome finish, or a black machined finish. As for the sizes, the wheels are available in either an 18" diameter with an 8 inch front and 9 inch rear, or a 19" diameter with an 8.5 inch front and a 10 inch rear. Staggered fitment is cool for a couple of different reasons. First off, it looks awesome. A wider rear wheel not only improves your stance, but also helps get that power down to the ground thanks to the wider rear tire and contact patch. Not only that, it also makes for more responsive handling as well, thanks to the narrow front tire. It's a win-win. Now, you can purchase these wheels without tires if you want; however, the smart move would be to take advantage of one of our wheel and tire combos that pair your new GT500 style wheels up with some of the better performing tires on the market today in sizes that are guaranteed to fit without rubbing, even if you're lowered an inch or two. Not only that, you also get to take advantage of our free shipping and handling, free mounting and balancing, and optional nitrogen fill. Remember, you 2007 and up folks have to keep in mind your vehicles are equipped with a TPMS sensor. This means a tire pressure monitoring system that needs to be addressed when ordering new wheels. These aluminum AM wheels are extremely durable, but if you ever encounter any problems, every rim features a lifetime structural warranty, as well as a one year warranty on finish, you can't beat that. There are very few mods on the market today that can change the attitude of any ride like a new set of shoes. These AmericanMuscle wheels are sure to offer the modern aggressive stylings that look great on any Mustang. View Full Transcript

Would the width of the rear wheels fit a 2012 v6 mustang? I live in Mexico, so every time i buy something at american muscle i have you guys ship it to San Antonio, Texas where i can pick it up and bring it back home to install it in my 2012 v6 ford mustang. I was just wondering if the overall wheels fitment would be as easy as you mention in your website. Also, i would like to know if the NITTO tires the wheels come with are as good (or better) than the michellin pilot super sport ones that i was also considering burying. Thanks for your help. Best Regards!
They fit just as easy as we claim. It's a simple swap from your stock set to these! Opting for the Free Mounting and Balancing and the TPMS kit, the wheels and tires would come ready for you to install and will fit perfectly on your Mustang! The NITTO Invo Tires are ultra high performance tires that offer great traction in both wet and dry conditions, offer a comfortable ride and no worries with road noise! You can't go wrong with this match up! Give us a call if you have any other questions!
