big big debut. debut. this is mary, a woman who loves to share her passions. grandma! mary has atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts her at a greater risk of stroke. rome? sure! before xarelto® mary took warfarin which required monthly trips to get her blood tested. but that's history. back to the museum? not this time! now that her doctor switched her to once-a-day xarelto® mary can leave those monthly trips behind. domest domestic flight? not today! like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem that doesn't require regular blood monitoring. so mary is free of that monitoring routine. for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xa xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. spinach? grazie! plus, with no known dietary restrictions mary can eat the healthy foods she likes. don't stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. switching to xarelto® was the right move for mary. ask your doctor about once-a-day xarelto®. no regular blood monitoring; no known dietary restrictions. for information and savings options download the xarelto® patient center app call 1-888-xarelto, or visit goxarelto.com

when we return. the 49ers have made their decision. what the team has this is mary, a woman who loves to share her passions. grandma! mary has atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts her at a greater risk of stroke. rome? sure! before xarelto® mary took warfarin which required monthly trips to get her blood tested. but that's history. back to the museum? not this time! now that her doctor switched her to once-a-day xarelto® mary can leave those monthly trips behind. domest domestic flight? not today! like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem that doesn't require regular blood monitoring. so mary is free of that monitoring routine. for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xa xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. spinach? grazie! plus, with no known dietary restrictions mary can eat the healthy foods she likes. don't stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. switching to xarelto® was the right move for mary. ask your doctor about once-a-day xarelto®. no regular blood monitoring; no known dietary restrictions. for information and savings options download the xarelto® patient center app call

pleaded not guilty to felony manslaughter charges. she was in court in santa cruz today for a procedural hearing. another hearing is scheduled for december 5th. consumers are so tired of having their credit cards hacked they plan to avoid the stores that were hacked. nearly half of those surveyed, 45%, say they will avoid target and home depot because of data breaches. a new service called apple pay is now available claiming to be more secure. apple is launching this new digital payment service that allows customers to use their smartphones instead of handing over credit cards. abc 7 news reporter sergio quintana joins us with a look at the way it works. >> reporter: there are two launch events, one in san francisco, another in new york. basically, it allows iphone 6 and 6 plus owners to be able to buy things without even having to reach for their wallet. it is designed to make purchases a whole lot easier but it's also designed to make some of the purchases even more secure than using credit cards. signing up for apple pay is pretty easy. the newest iphones take a picture of your visa or mastercard, then apple pay creates and stores what's called a digital pay token. according to visa, that creates an added layer of security. >> their credit card number is never actually on the phone. we replace that number actually with a digital alias that replaces the card number, can run through the payment network just like a regular card number would. >> reporter: donna tam covers electronic payment technologies for c-net and says the digital alias numbers can be helpful if retailers' system are compromised. >> if someone hacks into the merchant's data base and tries to get that information, the information will be useless for them to use. >> reporter: when you do make a purchase, instead of swiping a credit card, the phone prompts you to authorize the sale with a fingerprint. another security layer. but what happens if you lose your phone or it's stolen? >> there have been a lot of studies done when people lose their wallet, they will report that loss within 24 hours. when they lose their phone they typically report it within an hour. >> reporter: the phone can be remotely disabled if it is stolen and a customer can still use their credit card if they still have it. right now, this technology is available at more than 200,000 retailers across the country, including places like walgreens and pete's coffee, which isn't much when you consider about 15 million retailers accept visa and mastercard. even the most digital savvy customers won't be ditching their wallets just yet. then there's another problem. >> one of the disadvantages is if your phone dies you're at a loss because you don't have your credit card anymore. >> reporter: right now it's only available on the newest iphone, the 6 and 6 plus. sergio quintana, abc 7 news. >> apple's profit is soaring. the company's income increased to roughly $8.5 billion for the quarter, up from roughly $7.5 billion from a year ago. ceo tim cook credits off the chart demand for its new iphone 6 and 6 plus. ibm has issued a weak earnings report. that and its focus on all
