A pampered Chihuahua accustomed to the living the good life in glamorous Beverly Hills must rein in her heiress instincts and rely on the kindness of strangers in order to find her way back home after becoming hopelessly lost in Mexico. Chloe (voice of Drew Barrymore) is a diamond-clad toy dog who favors traveling in her wealthy owner's purse over frolicking in an open park, and Papi (voice of George Lopez) is the kind of independent pup that she doesn't afford a second glance. When a vacation mishap leaves Chloe stranded in Mexico, the Chihuahua who doesn't speak a lick of Spanish must rely on street-smart German shepherd Delgado (voice of Andy Garcia) to guide her back home before she wanders any further south. Meanwhile, brave Papi races to the border intent on proving his love for Chloe by tracking her down and escorting her home in style. Along the way, Papi is joined by an enthusiastic pack of helpful pooches (voices of Luis Guzman, Plácido Domingo, and Eddie "Piolin" Sotelo) a pair of concerned humans (Piper Perabo and Manolo Cardona), an anxious iguana (voice of Paul Rodriguez), and a crafty rat (voice of Cheech Marin). ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A devastating betrayal sends James Bond from Australia to Italy and South America on a mission of vengeance that pits the suave super-spy against a powerful businessman with diabolical intentions. Betrayed by Vesper, 007 (Daniel Craig) suppresses the urge to make his latest mission personal as he teams with M (Judi Dench) to interrogate Mr. White (Jesper Christensen). It soon becomes apparent that the organization behind the blackmailing of Vesper is more powerful than Bond and M had previously anticipated, and after discovering forensic evidence that links an MI6 traitor to a bank in Haiti, Bond immediately sets out to gather more intelligence.
Once in Haiti, a case of mistaken identity leads Bond into the company of the ravishing Camille (Olga Kurylenko), a dangerous beauty with her own vendetta. It's Camille who leads Bond to a ruthless businessman named Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), who is soon revealed to be the mastermind of a powerful but clandestine organization. Greene is conspiring to corner the market on one of the world's most precious natural resources, and in order to make that happen he has forged a deal with an exiled general named Medrano (Joaquin Cosio). By enlisting the aid of his many associates and using his vast resources to force contacts within the CIA and the British government into bending to his will, Greene plans to overthrow the current regime of a Latin American country and hand control over to General Medrano in exchange for a parcel of land that appears barren on the surface, but actually houses a natural resource that will make Greene the most powerful man on the planet. But Bond's mission to uncover the culprit who blackmailed Vesper and prevent Dominic Greene from exerting his will on the entire world won't be easy, because now everyone from the CIA to the terrorists and even M are out to get him. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Writer/director Christopher Zalla authored and helms the contemporary post-noir thriller Blood of My Blood. The film concerns Juan, a ruthless and conniving ex-career criminal who tries to escape his past by hopping a truck transporting illegal immigrants from Mexico to the Big Apple. Over the course of his journey, Juan meets and befriends Pedro, a sweet but illiterate Puebla native -- long-estranged from his father, Diego -- who harbors a strong desire to make contact with his dad and holds a letter of introduction from his mother to help him accomplish his goal. The naïve Pedro falls into the clutches of the sociopathic Juan, who promptly wins his confidence, then rips off all of his belongings during the night and attempts to steal his identity, plotting to fallaciously present himself to Diego as the gentleman's son. The film then cross-cuts between the story of each man (one desperate, the other slick and arrogant) as they each seek out food and shelter and comb the city for the man in whom they see a chance to establish a secure future. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

A simple homeless man in search of a warm place to sleep is exploited by politicians eager to prove that poverty in Mexico has been eradicated in Herod's Law director Luis Estrada's caustic satire concerning the effect of globalization on Mexican citizens. A press conference has been held to proclaim that there are no more poor people in Mexico, but homeless Juan Pérez (Herod's Law star Damián Alcázar) still can't seem to find a place to rest his weary head. After wandering into the World Financial Center headquarters and ending up on an elevated window ledge, Juan awakens to find that the public and press assume he is making a political statement against the powerful institution's neo-liberal stance. As Juan is swept up by the political machine that remains unwilling to admit their claims of conquering poverty may have been made in haste, the wandering tramp is given a spotless home in the suburbs and thrust into the international spotlight. But fame is a fickle thing in the 21st century, and rising to the top only means that one has farther to fall when the next media distraction takes center stage. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A cop sets out to find a man who has been delivering too much of a good thing in this offbeat comedy. Police detective Martinez (Jesus Ochoa) has been handed a most unusual case -- a number of local prostitutes have been murdered, and it's up to Martinez to bring in the killer. What makes the case truly unusual, though, is the manner of death; it seems the hookers all died as a result of having orgasms so powerful they were literally fatal. Teaming up with cultural anthropologist Onofre (Daniel Giménez Cacho), Martinez hits the streets looking for clues, and eventually gets some unexpected help from Father Gorkisolo (Santiago Segura), a priest with a unusually deep knowledge of sexual matters. Asesino en Serio was the first feature film from director Antonio Urrutia; noted Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro served as executive producer. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The perfect crime goes horribly, absurdly awry in this Spanish-language tale of avarice starring Y Tu Mamá También's Diego Luna. Told in real time, Nicotina charts the different paths taken by eight characters over the course of a botched diamond heist masterminded by tech geek Lolo (Luna), Tomson (Jésus Ochoa), and El Nene (Lucas Crespi), each of whom has his own Achilles' heel when it comes to committing crime. For Lolo, it's his incessant, unrequited attraction to his neighbor Andrea (Marta Belaustegui); for El Nene, it's his overwhelming need to look cool as a neophyte gangster; and for Tomson, it's his loose-cannon demeanor that threatens to do him -- and everyone else -- in. Over the course of an hour and a half, the trio becomes intertwined with a variety of mobsters, shop owners, and not-so-innocent bystanders, each encounter bringing unexpectedly violent obstacles to securing the precious gems. Nicotina premiered in North America at the 2003 Toronto International Film Festival before heading to the AFI film fest. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

Entre Pancho Villa Y Una Mujer Desnuda
Mexico's most famous bandito rides again only to find himself defeated in the war between the sexes in this romantic comedy from debuting director Sabina Berman, the author of the play on which the screenplay is based.

A David taking on the regions Goliaths
Professor Low Teck Seng, CEO of the National Research Foundation, talks about the NRF and the foundation of the purpose-built new CREATE campus, an interdisciplinary research and development hub.
NRF CEO Low Teck Seng tells TODAY about the 20-year journey that brought Spores R&D scene to its present vibrant, diverse state
By June Yang
18 January
SINGAPORE It is a morning during the term break and the thoroughfare in this part of the National University of Singapore (NUS) is sparsely populated, sunlight undisturbed as it filters through glass panels and skylights. Looking across the surface of this placidity, you would not believe that groundbreaking research was happening, hidden behind the granite facades.
With its ground-floor water features and glass-and-steel towers, someone walking through the Campus for Research Excellence and Technological Enterprise (CREATE) might imagine he is in a posh financial district. But this gleaming 67,000-square-metre complex, officially opened in November, hopes to open doors to a new era in research here.
The 10 universities with research centres in CREATE:
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Massachusetts Institute of Technology Technical University of Munich Technion-Israel Institute of Technology Hebrew University of Jerusalem Ben-Gurion University University of California, Berkeley Peking University Shanghai Jiao Tong University
(NUS must be the missing one)
The CREATE campus is the fourth big pillar in Singapores research landscape, the other three being NUS, the Nanyang Technological University and research hospitals.
At its core are labs from 10 institutes from all over the world that have been brought in to carry out cutting-edge, innovative research.
The disciplines are eclectic, ranging from molecular biology to engineering to urban studies. One group has come up with a novel cure for malaria. Another is designing electric taxis. Yet another is coming up with a better construction material than steel (Hint: It is bamboo).
Why bring in these institutions? It is to strengthen Singapores R&D landscape, said Professor Low Teck Seng, Chief Executive Officer of the National Research Foundation (NRF).
One of the key attributes of a vibrant landscape is diversity, said Prof Low. So having only two universities, A*STAR and a fledgling group of scientists in hospitals is insufficient for us to propel us into the next phase.
Even with Singapores size, it is not enough. If you look at other small nations, you see greater diversity in their landscape, he told TODAY.
When the NRF was formed in 2006, one of the key strategies was to bring three top universities into Singapore to provide competition and diversity in our landscape, the professor said.
CREATE not just met that target, but surpassed it, with labs formed from 10 universities from Asia and around the world. The presence of these top 10 universities in Singapore, working with our two local universities and A*STAR, provides a very, very interesting mix of talent, said Prof Low.
Capitalising on this pool of talent, together with Singapores position in Asia, could be a winning combination, he said. Its a very potent and exciting mix of ingredients that could see us developing something which is unique. And in due course, win us a reputation globally ... That is the ambition that we have in the longer term: To be able to create a branding and reputation for CREATE.
A gentle man with silver hair, Prof Low has been in the thick of Singapores R&D sector since the 1980s, and has witnessed its growth through different stages.
The evolution of our science and technology has been in very interesting quantum leaps at appropriate times, said Prof Low, who took the helm at the NRF last July . Our short history in R&D is a disadvantage, but its also an advantage because were not bound by traditions and cultures that could hold us back.
In 1991, the first National Technology Plan was launched when the Science Council was turned into the National Science and Technology Board (todays A*STAR).
If you look into A*STAR today, of all the science and research council institutes, seven of them were started during that period, said Prof Low, who was the Managing Director of A*STAR before he joined the NRF.
In the initial phases, the focus was primarily on physical sciences and engineering. Its how we built our economy, the professor said. The initial institutes that were developed were those that related to key industry sectors that we were strong in, and those we wanted to grow.
These ended up being in microelectronics and semiconductors.
These industries have high value-add, and as such could provide very good jobs for our people, he said.
Singapores limited land also meant that the land use of these industries had to be weighed against their value to the nation.
Fast forward 20 years, and Singapores R&D sector is booming, the industry having grown from contributing 1 per cent to the current 2.3 per cent of Singapores GDP. NUS and NTU are both research-intensive, globally-recognised universities, Prof Low noted.
The year 2001 saw a concerted push into the biomedical research sector as new fields in that area opened up with the sequencing of the human genome, among other things. Today, many of the major pharmacological companies have set up shop here.
Today, the biomedical sciences are very vibrant, very active, and were beginning to reap the rewards of the investments weve made, said Prof Low, with more than a hint of pride. Weve seen the emergence of systems biology, synthetic biology, our ability to sequence the human genome ... Great strides have been made, tremendous opportunities.
The time around 2007 to 2008 marked a new shift in direction in research; in Prof Lows words: A*STAR embarked on a strategy to look at the spaces between physical sciences and biological sciences.
Such interdisciplinary research is what forms the core of CREATE, and there are reasons for that.
As we embark on the next phase of evolution, and the nature of science today, great opportunities exist at the interfaces of the disciplines. Many of the big sciences that we are going to embark on in the future really will be interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary in nature, he said.
If there is anything that stands in the way of what Singapore hopes to achieve, it is our size. Within our region sit the twin juggernauts of China and India, commanding large markets and vast pools of talent.
To stay afloat in the game, our David to their Goliaths needs to be clever. We challenge them not on size, but by depth, said Prof Low.
The challenge is to find our niche, so we can compete with a giant like China, he added.
Singapore needs to make use of what it already has to develop what he calls high peaks:
High peaks in terms of the level of expertise that we are able to develop, or the calibre of the top scientists that we are able to bring together. So that the depth of expertise, the breadth of knowledge in that area that we can generate allows us to be unique, and hence, allows us to be competitive, Prof Low said.
Singapore will host the inaugural Global Young Scientist Summit (GYSS) from Jan 20-25, an international gathering bringing together bright young researchers and eminent science and technology leaders. The speakers include 12 Nobel laureates and winners of the Millennium Prize, Turing Award and Fields Medal. Prof Low is the co-chairman of the GYSS@one-north organising committee.

Next week: Prof Low will talk about the schemes in place to develop R&D talent in Singapore.
Elderly 'won't have to fret over health care'
Gan pledges they will get needed care without having to worry about bills
Published on Jan 24, 2013

By Leonard Lim
THE Health Minister yesterday assured senior citizens that they would always receive the health care they need without having to worry about whether they can afford to pay their medical bills.
"The important message is that our senior citizens will always receive the necessary health-care services without worry about affordability," Mr Gan Kim Yong said at a clan event.
His remarks came a day after the Workers' Party (WP) slammed the Government at an election rally for not doing enough to help the elderly.
The minister added: "I encourage all these elderly folks... if they have problems with their bills, do let the hospitals, public institutions, health-care institutions know.
"We'll find different ways to help them."
Medifund Silver, for instance, is a scheme for needy patients aged 65 and older, he cited.
"We also have given the hospitals a lot of flexibility in terms of eligibility criteria, so that they can reach out to more elderly who are in need of support for their healthcare needs," the minister added.
He also urged caution in response to WP candidate Lee Li Lian's suggestion that those older than 75 should be allowed to use their Medisave without restriction.
"We have to be mindful these are very important savings of the elderly, and they will continue to need the savings as they grow older," the minister said.
Mr Gan, who was attending an event at the Singapore Foochow Association, said he would take the opportunity to share with those present what the Government had done for the elderly.
Speaking to reporters, he listed five policies to show that the Government is helping the old.
These are:
The Enhancement for Active Seniors (Ease) scheme in which facilities such as grab bars and slip-resistant tiles are fitted in homes at highly subsidised rates;
Raising the age limit for MediShield, the national health insurance scheme, to 90 this year;
A one-off Medisave top-up of up to $400 to help with MediShield premiums;
An annual Medisave top-up of up to $450 under the GST Voucher scheme;
Expanding the renamed Community Health Assist Scheme to let patients get subsidised outpatient treatment for acute and chronic conditions and basic dental services at participating general practitioners and dental clinics.
Mr Gan said he would also let clan associations and community leaders know that the Government will continue to do more for seniors.
"I encourage the community and clans to continue with their many good programmes for the senior citizens," he added.
Separately, Speaker of Parliament Halimah Yacob, who was in Punggol East to accompany PAP candidate Koh Poh Koon on a walkabout, defended the Government's track record.
The former Minister of State (Social and Family Development) gave several examples. One was grants for less well-off households employing maids to take care of elderly family members.
Announced last year, the estimated five-year budget for this is $25 million.
Another instance is the Government saying last October that it would spend $500 million until 2016 to ramp up the number of nursing homes, senior care centres and senior activity centres.

SINGAPORE: The government will spend close to S$700 million to make transport nodes more accessible, elderly friendly and conducive for commuters.
The plans, mapped out in the new Land Transport Master Plan, were announced by Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew on Wednesday.
One of the new initiatives -- Walk2Ride -- will make it easier for more commuters to walk to MRT stations.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) will build sheltered linkways within a 400-metre radius from all existing MRT stations, compared to the current radius of 200 metres.
LTA will also link up developments within a 200-metre radius of all bus interchanges, LRT stations and high-usage bus shelters.
In all, some 200 kilometres of linkways will be added islandwide by 2018, more than four times the existing 46 kilometres today.
The project is expected to cost some S$330 million and will begin from 2014.
Currently, sheltered linkways are built to link only to schools, healthcare institutions and other transport nodes like bus stops and taxi stands.
But under Walk2Ride, shopping, leisure, commercial and residential areas will also be linked.
LTA intends to leverage on existing linkways and work with the different town councils before deciding on which areas will be given priority.
The Walk2Ride initiative is being rolled out, following a successful trial at Lakeside MRT.
More pedestrian overhead bridges will also become more elderly and wheel-chair friendly.
LTA has reviewed the provision criteria to build more lifts at such bridges. These include those located within 200 metres of MRT stations and 100 metres of LRT stations.
Some 40 bridges have been identified for further feasibility studies.
A budget of about S$60 million has been set aside to install the lifts from 2014. Half of them will be completed by 2016 and the remaining by 2018.
Another S$300 million will be spent on installing some 20 kilometres of noise barriers along elevated MRT tracks.
Since September, LTA has been measuring noise levels at 455 residential flats located close to such tracks.
In some locations, the noise levels were found to have exceeded the National Environment Agency's guideline of 67 decibels.
Mr Lui said residents living close to MRT viaducts, such as those in Simei, Marsiling and Dover, can expect noise levels to be reduced by about five to 10 decibels.
LTA intends to start installing the barriers from end of this year and complete them by 2020.

From school dropout to Academy Award winner
Animator Nickson Fong's passion for film puts him on road to Hollywood
Published on Jan 24, 2013
By Janice Tai
WHEN animator Nickson Fong becomes the first Singaporean to pick up an Academy Award next month, he can look back with pride to the moment that inspiration struck.
He had been working on visual effects for the movie Godzilla in 1998 in the wee hours of one morning when he took a seemingly uninteresting algorithm - or formula - that a recent college graduate used to bend cylinders and applied it to muscle joints and facial expressions.
The technique - dubbed Pose Space Deformation - allowed for more life-like movements and subtle nuances in facial expressions.
It was a game-changer in the film industry. Hollywood blockbusters like Spiderman, Avatar and The Lord Of The Rings all used it for their 3-D characters.

Dining with the stars at ME@OUE
By Vimita Mohandas | Posted: 23 January 2013 1826 hrs
SINGAPORE: Diners can soon look forward to a star-studded dining experience right in the heart of the business district. ME@OUE -- a collaboration between real estate developer OUE and MediaCorp, the parent company of Channel NewsAsia -- will boast cuisines by Michelin chefs while offering diners a splendid view of the city skyline.
Its doors will open to the public on February 16.
The restaurant will offer authentic Japanese, French and Chinese cuisines and will be helmed by Michelin star chefs Masayasu Yonemura, Laurent Peugeot as well as celebrity chef Justin Hor.
Themed events from trade launches, stand-up comedies, fashion shows to New Year's Eve countdown dinner parties have also been lined up.
A scenic view of the city skyline, gastronomic delights prepared by Michelin star and celebrity chefs, and rubbing shoulders with MediaCorp celebrities -- diners can soon look forward to this swanky dining experience at ME@OUE, located on the penthouse level of the OUE Bayfront.
Tan Seck Wee, retail director of MediaCorp, said: "We will be bringing shows to the restaurant, we will be taking content to new levels, ticketed events that will allow our audience engagement to take to a new perspective.
"For example, you could have an F1 party here, where we could have a ticketed event. At the same time, there are elements that have been incorporated to facilitate TV and radio broadcast production."
The kitchen has also been designed for TV productions, allowing it to generate innovative content for viewers.
Besides its prime location and the exquisite cuisine, it is hoped that this star-studded experience will make it stand out from other restaurants in the area.
Patrina Tan, senior vice president of Overseas Union Enterprise Limited, said: "The collaboration with MediaCorp -- which is star power, the rubbing of shoulders, the spotting the stars, the excitement of seeing them dining at this place regularly, the events that are going to be held -- this is the venue for the most glamorous activities that you can find in town."
Some of the signature dishes at the restaurant include Glutinous Rice, Tune and Sea Urchin, Brittany Loster and the Pan-Fried Whole Abalone.

ANOTHER 80 public housing blocks in eco-town Punggol will be fitted with solar panels to harness energy from the sun, said the Housing Board on Thursday.
This will be done by private company Sunseap, which outbidded 12 other contractors in an open tender. HDB will offset a portion of the start-up costs - up to 30 per cent - and in turn, the town council will get a discount of up to five per cent off the retail electricity tariff rate.
The company takes care of the subsequent operational and maintenance costs.
In 2011, HDB also awarded Sunseap to power 45 blocks in Punggol at a cost of $11 million.

Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands began her first official trip to Singapore with a visit to the Istana to meet President Tony Tan and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
Wearing a patterned blue skirt and blouse with matching hat, the 74-year-old monarch strolled past white-uniformed guards during a welcome ceremony at the Presidents official residence yesterday morning.
With the defeat of PAP in by election, expect more government policies that will try to keep property prices stable but I wonder how well they can do it when there are floods of cheap money from many countries.
Also expecting the government to be more stringent in immigration policies. This will affect the table tennis and badminton imported talent.
I think there will be less pursuit of Olympic gold.
Yes, it is hoped that property prices and the relatively high inflation rate will subside with recent government policies, but as you said the high liquidity all round makes an open economy like Singapore a big challenge.
Indeed the employment of foreign workers is on the decline but Singapore cannot totally avoid foreign workers, especially the high-value added ones, if it wants to continue to grow.
On the sporting front, foreign talents who can help Singapore raise standards, are also limited. One reason for this is that the exporting countries have been doing relatively well economically and therefore their workers' incomes have risen in general.
The other is that Singapore is making an attempt to grow its own talent pool, although I think it is difficult as our young people can make better money elsewhere without having to sweat for long hours in training. Not unless they are really talented to be able to compete internationally in the highly paying sports jobs like football, tennis, basketball, golf, etc.
But sports will continue to be an important pillar of the Singapore society because of its positive contribution to the nation and economy. Winning international competitions can help gel the country and its people as one nation and an all-rounded worker have less medical problems.Last edited by Loh; 01-28-2013 at 12:48 AM.

Scientists at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) headed a study that discovered four processes by which gastric cancer is formed.
GIS scientists have identified four distinct processes that cause mutations in gastric cancer. The discovery of these processes provides clues to the formation of gastric cancers, paving the way for diagnostics and targeted therapy.
Gastric cancer is the second most common cause of cancer deaths worldwide, claiming almost 750,000 lives annually of which 60 percent of those affected are Asians.
The findings have been published online in the December 2012 issue of biological research journal "Genome Biology".

SINGAPORE: Nanyang Business School (NBS) is now ranked 32nd in the Financial Times' 2013 ranking of the world's MBA programmes, up two spots from last year.
The school's Nanyang Master of Business Administration programme is ranked sixth within the Asia Pacific.
The annual survey ranks the top 100 business schools from around the world, based on audited data from the schools themselves and from the class who graduated three years ago.
NBS admits about 80 students to its full-time MBA programme every year, with another 40 taking the course on a part-time basis.
It is offering a new Nanyang MBA curriculum in July with a sharper focus on leadership development and industry application in the Asian context.
The new course can be completed in 12 months, instead of the usual 16.

A*STAR scientist wins Singapore Challenge at Global Young Scientists Summit
By Alice Chia | Posted: 25 January 2013 2205 hrs
SINGAPORE: A research scientist at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) has won the Singapore Challenge medallion at the inaugural Global Young Scientists Summit@one-north (GYSS).
Dr Lynette Cheah was presented with a medallion by President Tony Tan and awarded a prize of US$100,000 to pursue her research interests.
She submitted a proposal on building a transportation network that helps smoothen traffic flow.
Part of her proposal involves taxi and car commuters sharing rides, and bus and train frequencies would be automatically adjusted.
The theme of the Singapore Challenge is "Innovations for Future Cities" - where scientists presented ground-breaking ideas to address sustainability challenges.
More than 70 proposals were received.
President Tony Tan said: "The Singapore Challenge exemplifies how scientific communities can partner governments and industries across countries to make societal impact. It is good for science and good for society when researchers build networks and collaborate openly to translate research outcomes for a better world."

NTU partners Holland's Wageningen University in food science research
Posted: 25 January 2013 1244 hrs
SINGAPORE: Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is working with a leading research centre of Wageningen University from the Netherlands in food science and technology.
Both sides are looking into new undergraduate modules.
NTU aims to develop full-fledged programmes in this field at the undergraduate and Master's level, and involve more schools and departments from both universities.
This will help to build a critical mass of trained manpower for the food industry, locally and regionally.
On the research front, NTU and Wageningen University are expected to focus on projects such as converting agricultural raw materials to high-value food ingredients, as well as sustainable food production including conversion of waste to food supplements.
The agreement providing for their partnership was signed on Friday by NTU's president Professor Bertil Andersson and Wageningen University's president Dr Aalt Dijkhuizen.
Queen Beatrix of The Netherlands, who was at NTU as part of her official visit to Singapore, was also present.

Four who shine the brightest
Laurentia, Feng, Shayna and Shahril star in Singapore's best sporting year
Published on Jan 26, 2013
in The Straits Times
By Marc Lim Sports Editor
EIGHT world crowns, four Asian champions, two Olympic medals, two Paralympic medals and the right to be called kings of Asean.
Last year will go down as arguably the greatest in Singapore's sporting history.
From 15-year-old Yukie Yokoyama winning the team and individual titles at the Optimist World Championships, to 42-year-old Aleksandar Duric winning the Asean Football Federation Cup with the Lions, the national flag was raised, on average, at least once a month in honour of a Singapore champion.
In fact, at The Straits Times sports desk, there was hardly a dull moment in 2012.
Yet while the bumper crop of champions made for interesting stories, it also made our task harder when it came to deciding the nominees for The Straits Times Athlete of the Year Award for 2012.
All of us at the desk were free to choose our top picks.
The heroic displays of table tennis player Feng Tianwei and equestrian Laurentia Tan at the Olympics and Paralympics - both were double medallists - made them easy choices. In their sport, the stage just does not get any bigger.
But strong cases were also made for those who did not make the podium. The efforts of gymnast Lim Heem Wei and canoeist Geraldine Lee (both became the first Singaporeans in their sport to qualify for the Olympics) did not go unnoticed.
But in the end, there was room only for four.
Although the young world beaters from wushu and sailing did their nation proud, they lost out as their accomplishments came at the youth level.
It was a tough fight between silat world champion Muhammad Shakir Juanda and world champion bowler Shayna Ng. But given that bowling is a more universal sport than silat, we felt Ng's feat was the more difficult to achieve.
And while the Asean football crown is a regional title, it was impossible to ignore the year that Shahril Ishak had. For consistency, he had few equals.
As captain of the LionsXII, his goals helped bring the Malaysia Cup fever back to Singapore after 17 years. As skipper of the national team, he led the Lions to a record fourth AFF Cup.
Selecting the winner will be an even more tricky task. Fortunately, an expert panel of seasoned sports officials and athletes will help us pick a worthy champion.
To salute the final four, The Straits Times, in partnership with award sponsor 100Plus, will profile each nominee in the Sport pages from next week.
So who will be crowned the ST Athlete of the Year for 2012?
All will be revealed on Feb 26.
Winners of the readers' contest to name the nominees will be revealed next week
Singapore's population could hit 6.9m by 2030, with a Singaporean core

By 2030, Singapore's population is projected to reach 6.5 to 6.9 million based on a government White Paper released on Tuesday. -- ST PHOTO: RAJENDRAN NADARAJAN
By Jessica Cheam
By 2030, Singapore's population is projected to reach 6.5 to 6.9 million based on a government White Paper released on Tuesday.
This will comprise a resident population of 4.2 to 4.4 million, of which 3.6 to 3.8 million are citizens and the rest Permanent Residents. Non-residents will make up about 2.3 to 2.5 million by then.
To keep Singapore's citizen population from shrinking, Singapore will need 15,000 to 25,000 new citizens each year, assuming the current total fertility rate (TFR) of 1.2.
About 30,000 new Permanent Residents (PR) is needed to keep the PR population stable at 500,000 to 600,000.
Two-thirds of Singaporeans in white-collar jobs by 2030

Two thirds of Singaporeans will hold white-collar PMET jobs by 2030, up from half the workforce currently, a new population White Paper has projected.
Growth rates of 3 to 5 per cent may be achieved in this decade, but is likely to be more modest at 2 to 3 per cent per year from 2020 to 2030, said the new study by the National Population and Talent Division (NPTD).
To ensure there are enough good jobs to go around, Singapore needs to innovate and restructure its industries even as it improves on its productivity, said NPTD.
In its widely-anticipated White Paper, which sets out Singapore's population and immigration policies for the future, the NPTD noted that the citizen workforce will age and plateau beyond 2020.
The paper recommends a calibrated inflow of foreign workers to complement the Singaporean workforce.
As citizen workforce growth slows, the total workforce growth is also projected to slow to 1 to 2 per cent - half the average of the past 30 years.
Given this workforce growth rate, and if Singapore achieves the stretch target of 2 to 3 per cent productivity growth per year in this decade, the country can get 3 to 5 per cent GDP growth on average up to 2020.
From 2020 to 2030, with workforce growth likely at 1 per cent and productivity growth rates at 1 to 2 per cent per year, Singapore will see more modest GDP growth of 2 to 3 per cent per year.

Today I thought I'd share with you a few quick tips on adding textures to your photos. Sound like fun? Well, lets jump right in.
to this in just a few simple steps:
2. Using a couple of my favorite photoshop actions (more info about what photoshop actions are and how to use them can be found here) my photo began to look like this:
5. By placing the texture file on top of the photo we have now created two seperate layers within the photo document we're working on. Open the layer pallette (Window > Layers) and you will see the two layers there, the background layer (which is your photo) and the texture layer (the photo of the scrapbook paper). Click on the texture layer, and you will see an OPACITY slider in the upper right corner of the Layers pallette. Click on this and begin sliding it to the left to lower the oppacity of the texture layer. You will notice your photo begin to look a little bit like this:
You can now see the photo through the texture layer. Adjust the opacity until you get the look you desire.
7. Once you have successfully removed the texture from the areas you selected the final step is to flatten the two layers we created (Layer > Flatten Image).
Now that you know how to add a texture to your photos, try experimenting with different textures and see what fun things you can come up with. There are many textures out there available for purchase (these are some of my favorites) but armed with your camera you can create some of your own textures from everyday objects around you. For this photo I even used a digital scrapbook paper file that I had purchased for my background texture.

I'm one of those creative people that can't just create one thing. I love to sing and write songs and design the covers to my CDs, but I also have many other outlets for my creativity. How perfect that I can create beautiful and original rosary beads for us and Our Lord and Lady and have it all work together with this music apostolate in helping people to pray. While creating each one, I said many prayers for the intentions of each recipient - family, children, health, finances, spiritual growth and a high degree of glory in heaven!
They all come in a 3"x3" padded gift box and are strung on either wire or string as indicated in the description. All wire strung beads are double crimped for extra stregnth and guaranteed under normal use for one year. (That means no twirling or tugging by the kids! - actually, leagaly I'm supposed to tell you that kids under twelve are not supposed to handle beads.)
I'm trying to raise money to record my next CD. A purchase of one of these is like making a donation. Thank you in advance.
How glorious and fit for a queen! I couldn't resist these beads when I saw them. The 8mm Ave beads are multi colored glass and accented with 7x9mm golden Paters. The 2" crucifix and 1" center are cast in bronze from vintage molds. The reverse side of the center says "Immaculate heart of Mary, pray for us."
Length of whole rosary is 22."
A crucifix with John and Mary at the foot of the cross is traditionally referred to as a Carmelite cross. One was given to me many years ago and it has been dear to me since, as I am a third order Carmelite. In this setting, the 1 1/2" crucifix is paired with a 1" vintage cast miraculous medal equally invoking to contemplation.
I just loved this Divine Mercy center when I first saw it and thought it was well worth the extra expense. Everything about this rosary is special. The 6mm Aves are of Czech fire-polished cathedral glass. With the name "cathedral" how could I refuse? The fancy 8mm Paters are a garnet, glass rhinestone with a gunmetal finished band. All are accented with metal and silver lined garnet seed beeds and strung on 46 strand nylon coated flexible wire double crimped for extra security with sterling silver crimp beads.
I was asked to create something for the gentlement. The Aves are jasper stones averaging 4-7mm. The 8mm Paters are surrounded with silver plated caps. All are strung on 46 strand nylon coated flexible wire and double crimped for extra security with sterling silver crimp beads. Crucifix is 1 1/4" and St. Benedict medal center is 5/8". Length of whole rosary is 161/2".
This rosary just hollars "Your Magesty!" 8mm pressed crackle ruby Aves set of by 7x9mm golden Paters. The 2" crucifix and 1" center are cast in bronze from vintage molds. The reverse side of the center says "Immaculate heart of Mary, pray for us."
Length of whole rosary is 19."

HAI Convertable Ceramic Flat Iron - 1 1/4"
Adela B.EL Paso, TXHairBlondeCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairBest Flat Iron Ever!!!This would be my 2nd one, but because my first one lasted me 8 years and come on that is really good considering I would use it extremely alot . Can't complain is the only flat iron that does not damage my blonde high lights. I have try the Titanium and every other thing is out there. And I just can not get over this one. It leaves the hair so straight and shiny for days, not just that day. Is a tool we all women should have!!posted Jun 25, 2012Link to this post
Nancy C.Los AngelesHairDark BrownCurly HairGreat Great Great!!!!i love it use it all the time my hair is horrible with out it !!posted Jun 20, 2012Link to this post
MelanieAlabamaHairLight BrownDry HairCurly HairFine or Thin HairBest Straightener!This is the best straightener IMO. I tried the Solia and the CHI before settling with the HAI. I didn't think the solia straightened as well as the others. The CHI straightens well but it dries your hair out and it just looks brittle after a while. The HAI is the best of both worlds. It straightens just as well as the CHI but it also leaves your hair feeling silky, looks shiny, and does not dry it out! Love it! I have had mine for about 5 years and it's still going strong! I don't use it every day but I do use it several times per week. Just take care of the cord like the directions say and it will last a long time!posted Jun 19, 2012Link to this post
TiffanyUnited StatesHairLight BrownFine or Thin HairThick or Coarse HairA New FavoriteI've gone through several flat irons over the years. Because I have very thick, fine hair, I've been searching for a hair straightener that is powerful enough to straighten my massive amount I have without damaging the fine individual strands. This straightener did just that, while still cutting down on the average time it took to do my hair. Overall, I'm very impressed. It leaves my hair feeling smooth clear down to the ends.posted Jun 14, 2012Link to this post
Nancy P.HairBlondeThick or Coarse HairMy "old Faithful" Loyal IronI had my Hai iron for 7 years and loved it. Unfortunately it got dropped one too many times on the tile floor and it finally died. But up until then, it was old faithful. I did notice that it seemed to lose some heat over time, so I bought a Chi. It lasted a few months then quit working all together. I bought another Chi and used my Hai until the new chi came. A year later, my second Chi died. No power, no heat, nada. Back to the Hai. Bought a Revlon from Target, and it was okay, not great. Went back to my Hai once again and stuck with it and gave the Revlon to my daughter. Sadly, it finally died.
This little gem doesnt seem to get the marketing attention it deserves. Perhaps the company spends its money on the product itself, as opposed to advertising. Over the course of 5 years, I figure I've spent about $300 on my 3 replacement irons. Spent $90 on my original Hai and got 7 years of service. A no-brainer. From now on, I'm sticking with Hai.posted Jun 7, 2012Link to this post -
J T.HairBlackNormal HairBest Iron Investment MadeI have had this flat iron since 2006 and now that I have moved to Hong Kong, I continue to use it but have to plug it into a transformer since it is not dual voltage. It slides through my hair without ever tugging it.
I made the mistake of ordering a GHD Gold Series 1" (registered & verified authentic with GHD) and to my horror the plates DID NOT MEET. Only the very top tip met and there was a gap throughout.
When I used the GHD it actually tugged my hair at times which never happened with my HAI.
It was a huge disappointment for me since I blew a load of money to buy the GHD. Such a ripoff... it is not overhyped by the online community and also a waste of money.
Go for the HAI. It is well made to last, works great and the plates meet and glide through your hair smoothly.posted May 31, 2012Link to this post -
ToryNew JerseyHairBlondeChemically Treated HairPerfect On Damaged HairIf you've over processed your hair before, you know how it gets: frizzy, poofy, and krinkly. I recently lifted my hair 7 levels and its a pretty blonde now, but if i don't blow dry and straighten properly it looks like a fried mess. This straightener makes my hair feel so smooth and hides all of the damage. It looks and feels SO much healthier. It glides through my hair so smoothly and i only need to run over each section once and its already straight. I'm not suggesting you fry your hair because with this straightener it's easy to hide it... just saying, if you've made the same mistake i did.. this is your lifesaver.posted May 21, 2012Link to this post

MelissaChula Vista, CAHairBlackColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairLovely !I had this straightener for 4 years with everyday use before it didn't turn on anymore! So I stopped using it for some months.. Then out of curiosity I got it out one day and plugged it in and it worked again!! I have no idea what it was but I have been using it for another year.. So 5 years of use and it works lovely, leaving my hair beautiful. I will definitely buy this again if I have to :Dposted May 10, 2012Link to this post

Rated 5 out of 5Â by sjacks2001 ******Best SPIDERMAN SALE Ever!******
Thanks for letting me know about your sale. My 6 year old son LOVED these but they were a little out of our price range. I found them on sale and we was so surprised when he saw them ready to wear to school.
They are great on size and width too. His school does NOT allow "LIght Up" shoes so these were the BEST!! We LOVE you and have always shopped with you for our "wide foot" son.

Sette Triton 12 Function Wireless Computer
In an age where cycling computers can do just about everything short of actually pedaling your bike, sometimes simpler is better- especially if your number one goal is owning a computer that isnt the size and weight of a mid 90's cell phone.This computer is very stylish and easy to use. The price is unbeatable and you get all the needed functions. The build quality seems very good but the magnet is in a plastic housing that is easily over tightened and then cracks. I keep the Cateye magnets around which while also in plastic, is not as prone to breakage.
I have several different versions of this computer (even with different brands printed on it) and it is a great little unit. It is easy to program, has great battery life, and I like the temperature and calorie features. It can be mounted on the handlebar or the stem so you have options there. I don't have any complaints about this at all.
If you're looking for a basic computer this fits the bill. Setup is pretty straight foward, includes all the necessary mounting hardware. I use it on my MTB mostly for keeping track of my velocity during training and overall mileage for maintenance purposes. The sensors have held up well. The only real issue is that it has only two buttons, one on the very back of the unit that you can't reach unless you remove it from the bike mount.
Magnet fell out of sensor after 2 rides and of course you can not just buy that part.
I was a little disappointed with this product it has some small issues with getting through some of the different modes but overall it was easy to install and works fairly accurate..
Solid simple computer. Accurately displays what it should. Durable, easy to use, good battery life. Great bang for the buck if you want a simple easy computer.
