McDonald’s Corporation, the world ’s biggest fast-food chain, said
Tuesday it lost 711.7 million dollars in the second quarter.

For the quarter, the loss was 60 cents per share, compared to 834.1
million dollars earnings or 67 cents per share, in the same period last
year.

“McDonald’s results reflect the financial impact of the previously
announced developmental license transaction in Latin America,” said
McDonald’s Chief Executive Officer Jim Skinner.

In April, McDonald’s announced a plan to sale 1,600 restaurants in 18
Latin American and Caribbean countries in an effort to strengthen profit.

Earnings per share, excluding exceptional items, were 71 cents, in line
with the company’s guidance.

Revenue climbed 12 percent to 6 billion dollars, from 5.36 billion
dollars a year earlier.

WNBA team Houston Comets’ guard Janeth Arcain said goodbye to Brazil’s
national women’s basketball team on Tuesday, in the final match at the
Pan American Games, in which they ended up with a loss to the US team.

Although the hosts led with a slight advantage in the first three
quarters, they did not keep the pace up to the end of the game. The
Americans, relying on their U-21 team, culminated at last to mark a final
79-66 score.

The defeat did not prevent the public at Rio’s Multipurpose Arena from
standing up and applauding Arcain, who finished the match with the ball
in her hands. The 38-year-old player left the court in tears.

Janeth dos Santos Arcain belongs to a generation of Brazilian players
that reached the highest level ever achieved in the country’s women’s
basketball. They won the Pan Am gold in Havana’s Games, in 1991, and the
FIBA World Championship in 1994, apart from the Olympic silver in 1996,
in Atlanta, USA.

Legendary players like Hortencia Marcari and Paula Goncalves took part in
the same group, but retired earlier than Arcain, who also got a bronze in
the 2000 Sydney Olympics for the team. The guard is the second top scorer
in the team’s history, with an average of 17.6 points per game.

On the WNBA website, Arcain is regarded as “the only player in the Comets
history to play in all 220 games,” and won a “Most Improved Player of the
Year” prize in 2001. She was one of the original players selected in
first draft held by the US national association, in 1997.

The Pan Am final on Tuesday also marked the farewell of the Brazilian
head coach Antonio Carlos Barbosa, who took over the women’s team for the
first time in the 1976-1984 period, and returned to the position in 1997.
