e companies and Visa, which all want to play a central role in tying together phones, retailers and banks into a new payment system. Google said Thursday that it's launching a trial of its payment system in San Francisco and New York in cooperation with MasterCard and Citibank. It is opening it up to consumers in the summer. It then plans to expand across the country. There has been talk of smart payment systems for years. Google faces the same hurdles that have stifled previous trials. The new Google Wallet will initially work on only one smartphone, the Google Nexus S 4G carried by Sprint Nextel Corp. It will connect only to MasterCard PayPass terminals. There are more than 135,000 of those in U.S. stores and restaurants, but that's only a small fraction of the total number. Google calls it a "single-tap" solution, meaning shoppers should be able to pay with a single tap of their phone on a payment terminal, or a swipe past it. But in a demonstration at Thursday's New York event, a Google executive had to tap twice, then sign on the screen of the terminal provided by retail partner American Eagle Outfitters Inc. to get a purchase through. Osama Bedier, Google's vice president of payments, said it was up to the retailer to decide if the travel agencies. AXA PE, a private equity firm that belongs to the AXA Group (CS.FR), currently controls GO Voyages. Permira controls eDreams. Together they will acquire Opodo and will create a joint venture to which they will contribute Go Voyages and eDreams. Opodo is currently owned by Spanish travel technology provider Amadeus.

"You just got to learn from it and build off it. That's what good hockey players are made of. They can take the losses and create them into positives."The Majors were trying to become the first host team to win the Cup since the 2007 Vancouver Giants.Despite the loss, there were positives for Mississauga. Devante Smith-Pelly, a second-round draft pick of the Anaheim Ducks, had a standout tournament with three goals and three assists.But it's the two crushing defeats on home ice that will haunt him this summer."Now it's the end of the season and we weren't able to win either one of our goals," Smith-Pelly said. "After we lost Game 7, we shrugged it off and realized we still had the Memorial Cup to play for."To come up empty, it's the worst feeling in the world."After a successful season, the Majors couldn't win the games that mattered most on home ice.Mississauga finished first overall in the regular season and rolled through the first three rounds of the OHL playoffs, going 12-1 before the final against Owen Sound. After going up 2-0 in the series, the Majors lost four of the last five games to the Attack, including Game 7.The Majors avenged that defeat by beating the Attack
