Lee Min Jung

Lee Min Jung:Lee Min-Jeong (Hangul: 이민정; also spelled Lee Min-jung) is a South Korean actress and model. She is best known for playing the role of Ha Jae Kyung on the popular 2009 idol drama Boys Over Flowers. Her first lead in a TV series is in Smile, You playing Seo Jeong In, partner of Jung Kyung Ho.
Back in July, actress Lee Min Jung has been appointed as the spokesperson for Korea’s Make-a-Wish Foundation. The Make-a-Wish Foundation helps children with life-threatening illnesses by granting their wishes to give them a sense of hope, strength, and joy. On November 23, Lee Min Jung completed a photoshoot with renowned photographer Kwon Young Ho and three children who were able to fulfill their wishes through the foundation.

The concept of the shoot focused on the distinct dreams of the three children – air force pilot, model, and robot researcher.  Smiling warmly and posing affectionately, Lee Min Jung managed to ease the children who were slightly uncomfortable in front of the camera. As such, those at the studio and fans have nicknamed her the “smiling angel.”

Once the shoot ended, Lee Min Jung stated, “I was happy to see that while they’re still fighting their diseases, they didn’t lose hope and continued to smile brightly.” She added, “I was grateful to be given the opportunity to have such a great time with these children.”

In related news, Lee Min Jung’s upcoming movie “Wonderful Radio,” costarring Lee Jung Jin and Lee Kwang Soo, is set to premiere this January nationwide.

Fans of actress Lee Min Jung got to see a different side to her talents, thanks to a Twitter update from her movie, ‘Wonderful Radio‘.

On December 12th, the film unleashed the MV for Lee Min Jung’s song, “So Bitter“. The MV’s clips were taken from a scene filmed at Lee Seung Hwan‘s live concert, who specially composed this song for Lee Min Jung.

The actress reportedly received vocal training for this movie, since she portrays a singer in the script.

Music director Hwang Sung Jae sang her praises as he said, “Lee Min Jung is a talented singer, so much to the point that she knows how to express her own colors through her music. She is a talented and knowledgeable actress.”

The movie will be released early next year, and the digital single album for “So Bitter” will be released sometime this week.

Typical ahbeng's death threat LOL

Typical ahbeng's death threat LOL:18 yo ah beng threatened to kill 14 yo boy boy over 16 yo ah lian.
Oh, and what you're suggesting in your “barking dog” scenario is typical of you all of such great faith. You have no value for life. You worship death. I call people like you, and I will not mince words here, dangerous hypocrites. The type eager to kill in the name of ... Ahbeng died and his soul were sent to hell, everyone are assigned to a Devil and this Devil will bring you round the hell on your first visit (kinda like orientation lidat la).
When the train doors open they rush in for seats without even giving a damn about others. ‘After they have zeroed into that empty spot even before the train stops that is.
They cut into your queue, especially when boarding the bus, and give you that fuck-off-asshole-i’m-first-look when in actual fact they were miles away from where you were.
Complain and take no action at all. Just take a look at the ‘Singapore Seen‘ tab in STOMP.
The lack of warmth and spirit to be nice to others. Even when you say ‘thanks’ to them, they will either smile wryly or pretend that you said nothing. So damn fucking fake can?
They are a bunch of pampered citizens always wanting more from the gahmen, never ever appreciated what’s given and worse still… criticize the current situations.
He claims to have been offered RM5mil to retract his SD.

“Deepak actually came to see me because he want me to retract my first SD… After that he offered me RM5 million for me to retract the SD,” Balasubramaniam said in the video clip, referring to a person whom Raja Petra says is linked to Najib’s wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor. (Malaysia Insider)

His destination is not really unknown. I heard he’s back in Malaysia.

SMRT apologises for Circle Line disruption

SMRT:Latest news SMRT.Search result SMRT.All about SMRT.Singapore trend SMRT.
SINGAPORE - SMRT has confirmed the train service on the Circle Line between Marymount and one-north MRT stations were disrupted due to a communication network problem today morning at 6am.

SMRT's engineers were immediately onsite to attend to the fault and were able to partially restore train service at the affected stretch by 6.40am, said SMRT in its press statement.

However, as the fault is not fully rectified, peak hour trains could not be deployed to meet morning peak frequency on the Circle Line. SMRT is still attending to the fault and investigating its cause with the system supplier Alstom, added the statement.

Bus bridging services were activated at 6.30am between Marymount and one-north MRT stations and at 7.35am between Serangoon and one-north MRT stations to provide alternative transport. The first bus arrived at around 7am at Marymount MRT station, said SMRT.

SMRT issued travel advisories through radio stations to inform passengers of the reduced frequencies and alternative transport arrangements including bus bridging services. Public announcements were made and signs were put out to inform affected passengers at stations.

SMRT activated about 100 staff on the ground to assist passengers and resolve the fault. SMRT also deployed 35 buses for the bus bridging service.

TODAY reader @incoherentboy tweeted train services were still down at 10.35am and he had to take a shuttle service from one-north MRT station to Serangoon.

About 1,400 passengers were affected by the disruption this morning. Passengers who were unable to complete their journeys due to the disruption can file a claim for refund at the Passenger Service Centre in any of the 68 SMRT stations.

SMRT apologises for the inconvenience caused.

Victor Webster

Victor Webster:Victor Webster (born February 7, 1973) is a Canadian actor. He is best known for his roles as Brennan Mulwray in Mutant X and "Coop" on Charmed.
Victor Howard Webster was born in Calgary, Alberta, the son of Roswitha, a hair stylist, and John ("Jack") Webster, a police officer.[1] He is of Italian, German, English, French, Scottish and Spanish descent.

When he became a teenager, his misbehaviour often got him into trouble. To find another more productive outlet, he started studying martial arts. He taught martial arts, with an undefeated record as an amateur kick-boxer and a heavyweight black belt. Meanwhile, his early interest in acting was demonstrated in his involvement with numerous school plays and theater classes. However, he decided to find more stable work, and worked as a stockbroker and in import/export. He appeared in Cosmopolitan Magazine's "All About Men" 1998 special issue. In 2000 he did a nude photo spread for Playgirl, though the pictorial was not full-frontal.

He began to pursue acting opportunities in the late 1990s. In 1999 he landed a part on the NBC daytime soap opera, Days of our Lives. After leaving Days, he was cast as one of the leads in the nationally syndicated SF-action series Mutant X (2001), which ran for three seasons. In 2002, he was listed as one of People Magazine's "50 Most Eligible Bachelors". He appeared in the theatrical film Bringing Down the House and made guest appearances on other TV shows while doing Mutant X. One notable role in 2003 was as a boyfriend of Samantha's on HBO's Sex and the City. Since Mutant X, Webster has continued to alternate between television and theatrical film roles. In 2006 he appeared in the final episodes of Charmed, portraying Coop, a cupid who married Phoebe Halliwell (played by Alyssa Milano) in the final episode of the series.

In 2009, Webster had a recurring role as Caleb Brewer on the Melrose Place relaunch.[2]He appeared on the Season 5 episode "Parasite" of Criminal Minds playing a con artist-turned-serial killer. He also guest-starred in the 2009 murder mystery Harper's Island. He had a small role in the 2010 Tyler Perry film Why Did I Get Married Too.[citation needed] In 2011, he had a recurring role on Castle as Kate Beckett's boyfriend, Josh Davidson.

Jetstar Asia CEO Chong Phit Lian

Chong Phit Lian:Jetstar Asia has announced that its chief executive Chong Phit Lian will be stepping down and that an executive search for a Singaporean to take over the position is in its advanced stages.

Chong, who has been chief of the low-cost carrier since 2006, will relinquish her chief executive role on 1 February 2012 but remain a member of the Jetstar Asia board to guide continued growth, the airline said in a statement.

In the interim, Paul Daff, a founding senior executive of Jetstar Asia for three years and formerly head of its commercial segment, will take over as chief executive.

An executive search for a Singaporean chief executive "was well-advanced" and an announcement can be expected in early 2012, said Dennis Choo, chairman of Jetstar Asia.

Chong will be leaving to "pursue opportunities outside the aviation sector", added the airline.

Reports have been surfacing for weeks now that Chong will be joining Singapore investment group Temasek Holdings.

"Six years ago there were many who regarded Jetstar Asia as the underdog in a crowded marketplace," said Bruce Buchanan, Jetstar Group's chief executive.

"Ms Chong has been an important member of the Jetstar Group leadership team that has helped make Jetstar Asia a successful business in its own right and a key pillar in our broader pan-Asian strategy," he added.

Chong was the president and chief executive of The Singapore Mint before she took up the top post at the low-cost carrier. She was a surprise pick when first appointed as she had no previous airline experience and her predecessors were all men and Australian residents. She however became highly regarded for boosting the airline's network and bringing it to profitability and also presided over a series of changes at the airline including an ownership restructure and rationalisation of its branding. She also took on an expanded role when there was a management restructure in 2004, taking on responsibility to invest and develop the business in Asia beyond Singapore.

Jetstar Asia added that it would soon add three Airbus A330s to its fleet and on its Air Operators Certificate, to operate long-haul flights from Singapore.

"In 2012 and beyond, our focus will be on leveraging Jetstar's leadership position in stimulating new travel demand as well as strengthening links in our network between Singapore, China, Japan, Australia and New Zealand," said Buchanan.

Saw Phaik Hwa

Saw Phaik Hwa:SMRT chief executive Saw Phaik Hwa's latest words have once again raised the ire of netizens and commuters.
In a Straits Times report yesterday, the SMRT chief commented that the MRT system is "still reliable compared with other systems".
She said, "I don't see anything significant" in the number of disruptions and delays.
She also attributed the train breakdowns to higher service frequency, new trains that "need to break in", and more rainy days in Singapore. She cites the newly installed platform screen doors at surface stations, which need to synchronise with train doors, as another factor in train disruptions.

Wonder if analysts will be building into their models, the assumption that SMRT chief executive Saw Phaik Hwa will continue making stupid remarks that upset commuters, thereby making it harder for SMRT (and Delgro) to get their desired fare rises? Will they also make the assumption that such gaffes reflect her inability to manage a public transport company?

In a recent ST report, the SMRT CEO commented that the MRT system is “still reliable compared with other systems” and “I don’t see anything significant” in the number of disruptions and delays.

She attributed the train breakdowns to higher service frequency, new trains that “need to break in”, and more rainy days in Singapore. She cites the newly installed platform screen doors at surface stations, which need to synchronise with train doors, as another factor in train disruptions.

Maybe by M’sian Chinese standards (she refuses to become a citizen, preferring to be a PR), comparisons with third world cities and even NY, London and Tokyo are in order. But she should not forget that she is the CEO of a transport company in a city that has aspirations to be a leading edge global city. If our ministers can set the global bench-mark paywise, SIA for premier service or or our local banks for solid balance sheets,  why can’t she set the global city benchmark disruption-wise when it comes to MRT systems?

Her other verbal gaffes: The SMRT chief had annoyed commuters last year when

– the issue of overcrowding was raised, “People can board the train, it is whether they choose to”; and

– she told commuters that they had a role in ensuring that trains were properly secured when there was a break-in at a train depot. She want us to volunteer to guard her train carriages.

Aaron Tan

Aaron Tan:Latest news Aaron Tan.Search result Aaron Tan.All about Aaron Tan.Singapore trend Aaron Tan.
Limpeh tell you, this world still got many old school Ah Beng.

Apparently, 18-year-old wannabe gangsta Aaron Tan made this video to threaten a 14-year-old, Ryanzxc Gobangwall, for hitting on his gerfren, Nina Wantyouonly.

Be warned, the video contains vulgarity. Don't let the kids watch or they will learn about mothers and their milk, assorted Hokkien bad words, and a new English bad word ("f**kermother")

According to the blog Alvinology, Nina posted her side of the story on her Facebook wall:

    This is how’s it goes. Me and Aaron had been together for 7months9days. The reason we had broke up is because of his attitude, his threatening, his childishness, his back stabbing, trust issues and he jus too over controlling. The best part is his parent disagree our relationship and (even more worse thing ps I can’t say due to personal) But in other hand I know actually a part of me can’t let go so I give him alot of chances to let change him change himself for the better but he didn’t. I tried my best to hold on but sorry I did my best because until now Aaron still wanna lie to me and do stuff behind my back which I really hate it. Plus our breaks up had alr cause trouble for both side of parent. So In order to make him heart die for me I put a fake relationship with Ryan which he also agree. But things get worst, Aaron post things at facebook saying bad thing about Ryan and even videos threatening him?! Then kanna stomp and even in the newspaper. After that, Ryan , Ryan sister and Aaron have a conversation on the phone. What is the conversation I not sure. That’s why Ryan and Aaron are in a relationship. And that’s it for Ryan and Me. But as for me and Aaron we alr officially SINGLE. So please stop saying he is my boyf. As for Ryan I wanna say sorry for the trouble cause and thanks for the help And that’s it. If got anymore question, comment I will answer your doubts :3

To add to all the drama, Aaron Tan apparently has supporters. This video was made by his "brudder" (Update: it's a fake troll video) to say "我支持你!":

Aaron Tan shouldn't be so harsh on the 14-yr-old who likes his ex-girlfriend. He'll need someone to look after her when he goes to Boy's Home for threatening bodily harm.

Oh, wait. I forgot Aaron is 18. Good news: you won't be going Boy's Home for your threats. Bad news: you qualify for prison.

I am glad when I was 18, there wasn't YouTube to let me broadcast my stupidest teenage behaviour to the world.

Pwease hor! Limpeh tell you: Aaron Tan femes liao.

As they say on the game Skyrim: "I used to be an Ah Beng like you, then I took an aarontan to the knee."

P.S. Good luck when you go for NS and your army buddies recognise your sorry ass. Sure kena blanket party one.

Katie Couric

Katie Couric and Brooks Perlin have ended their five-year relationship, a rep for Couric confirms to Us Weekly.

Biggest star splits of 2011

Perlin, 37, is in the process of moving out of Couric's Upper East Side townhouse in New York City. The former "CBS Evening News" anchor -- whose husband Jay Monahan passed away from colon cancer in 1998 -- met Perlin in 2006 at a cancer research fundraising event at the Louis Licari Hair Salon.

A Couric pal tells Us she initiated the breakup. "Brook's a nice guy, but it was inevitable because they had different priorities and perspectives, and their age difference made it a challenge, too."

"Katie is someone who is incredibly versatile and accessible and in high demand and he just couldn't keep up," the Couric pal adds. "He had a little more trouble in the relationship. So she's available and back on the market."

Despite their recent breakup, a Couric pal tells The New York Post's Page Six they remain amicable. "Brooks is a great person and a real gentleman; he and Katie enjoyed their time together. But after five years, they have decided it was time to go their separate ways."

PHOTOS: Katie parties with Us Weekly

Couric, 54,has two daughters with Monahan: college junior Ellie, 20, and high school sophomore Carrie, 15. Her new untitled talk show will premiere in September 2012.

Annual 'Shooting Star' Show Seen

Annual 'Shooting Star' Show Seen:If you were lucky enough to see the Geminid meteor shower, which peaked Tuesday night, it most likely didn't look like this.

After all, Henry Jun Wah Lee, a filmmaker and photographer from Los Angeles, spent three days and two nights with his camera in Joshua Tree National Park to capture video and photos featured in the film below.

VIDEO BELOW

But camping out under the stars for those few nights resulted in an amazing time-lapse video of last year's Geminid meteor shower, juxtaposed against a backdrop of the enchanting landscape found in Joshua Tree.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the annual display is called the Geminids because the meteors appear to be emitted from the constellation Gemini.

(Click here for more on the Geminid meteor shower.)

Wah Lee explains on his website that not all of the streaks of light are meteors -- the flashes lasting longer than one or two frames are airplanes.

According to his Vimeo page, the video is set to "Happiness," from Jónsi & Alex's album "Riceboy Sleeps."

But even though the video is spectacular, Wah Lee writes on his website that "watching this doesn't beat the experience of actually sitting underneath the stars yourself."

Be sure to check out Wah Lee's site for his explanation of why he titled the film "Fleeting Light: The High Desert and the Geminid Meteor Shower" and for details about how he shot it.

In the mood for some more time-lapse? Check out this one from the Chilean desert featuring some of the stars and constellations of the Southern Hemisphere.

Republicans muscle tax cut bill through House

Republicans muscle tax cut bill through House:WASHINGTON — Defiant Republicans pushed legislation through the House Tuesday night that would keep alive Social Security payroll tax cuts for some 160 million Americans at President Barack Obama's request — but also would require construction of a Canada-to-Texas oil pipeline that has sparked a White House veto threat.

Passage, on a largely party-line vote of 234-193, sent the measure toward its certain demise in the Democratic-controlled Senate, triggering the final partisan showdown of a remarkably quarrelsome year of divided government.

The legislation "extends the payroll tax relief, extends and reforms unemployment insurance and protects Social Security — without job-killing tax hikes," Republican House Speaker John Boehner declared after the measure had cleared.

Referring to the controversy over the Keystone XL pipeline, he added, "Our bill includes sensible, bipartisan measures to help the private sector create jobs."

On a long day of finger pointing, however, House Democrats accused Republicans of protecting "millionaires and billionaires, " and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., derided the GOP-backed pipeline provision as "ideological candy" for the tea party-set.

After the House vote, the White House urged Congress on in finishing work on extending the tax cuts and jobless aid. Press Secretary Jay Carney issued a statement that didn't mention the pipeline but renewed Obama's insistence that the legislation be paid for, at least in part, by "asking the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share" in higher tax levies.

Lawmakers "cannot go on vacation before agreeing to prevent a tax hike on 160 million Americans and extending unemployment insurance," he said.

Republicans mocked Obama's objections to their version of the bill.

"Mr. President, we can't wait," said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia, employing a refrain the White House often uses to criticize Republicans for failing to take steps to improve an economy struggling to recover from the worst recession in decades.

Voting in favor of the legislation were 224 Republicans and 10 Democrats, while 179 Democrats and 14 Republicans opposed it.

At its core, the measure did include key parts of the jobs program that Obama asked Congress to approve in September.

The Social Security payroll tax cuts approved a year ago to help stimulate the economy would be extended through 2012, avoiding a loss of take-home income for wage-earners. An expiring program of unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless would remain in place, although at reduced levels that the administration said would cut off aid for 3.3 million.

A third major component would avert a threatened 27 percent cut in payments to doctors who treat Medicare patients, a provision Republicans added to appeal to conservatives but one that the White House and Democrats embrace, too.

Anne Hathaway Actress

Anne Hathaway debuted quite the sparkler after her engagement to beau Adam Shulman was announced in November.

And although Shulman, 30, is an accomplished jewelry designer himself (he founded the James Banks line in 2011 with Heidi Nahser Fink), he enlisted the help of the well-renowned jewelers at Kwiat Diamond and Fine Jewelry.

"We've known [Adam] for a long time, and when he thought of proposing and buying an engagement ring, he thought of Kwiat," the brand's partner Greg Kwiat told Us Weekly on Monday in New York at the 6th Annual Charity: Ball, sponsored by charity: water. "Adam just wanted something beautiful, timeless and special."

PHOTOS: 2011's most stunning celebrity weddings With the jewelry expertise under his belt, Kwiat tells Us that Shulman came to their store well-prepared.

"He knew the fit himself," the jewelry said. "He wanted something that would be perfect for Anne. We can't talk too much about the details, but he had a good sense of her style and he had a good sense of what he wanted to present."

How Anne bounced back after her messy breakup

Last month, jewelry expert Michael O'Connor explained to Us that the 29-year-old actress's 6-carat, platinum and diamond ring carries a price tag of approximately $150,000.

Kwiat also created "Dexter" alumna Julie Benz's 3-carat $80,000 engagement ring.

Talk-show host offers Newt Gingrich $1 million to drop out

Talk-show host offers Newt Gingrich $1 million to drop out:NEW YORK (TheWrap.com) - Some conservatives don't believe in Newt-mentum.

Popular right-wing talk-radio host Michael Savage has offered Newt Gingrich $1 million to drop out of the race for the GOP nomination because he doesn't believe the former Speaker of the House can beat President Barack Obama.

"While it's true that (Mitt) Romney is not a strong a conservative as many would like him to be, the most pressing issue before America today is defeating Barack Obama. And that is something Newt Gingrich cannot do," the nationally syndicated Savage said on his blog.

And why is that?

Savage has a long list on his blog, including Gingrich's ads with Nancy Pelosi, his past infidelity and the fact that -- no matter his intelligence -- when he appears on TV "he will come off badly compared to Obama and look like nothing more than what he is: a fat, old, white man."

Ouch.

So, after a lengthy diatribe in all caps, Savage offered Gingrich $1 million to "set his ego aside" and "take the money ... and don't run."

Savage said he will reveal further details soon.

Saudi Woman Beheaded for 'Witchcraft'

Saudi Woman Beheaded for 'Witchcraft':A Saudi woman was beheaded after being convicted of practicing "witchcraft and sorcery," according to the Saudi Interior Ministry, at least the second such execution for sorcery this year.

The woman, Amina bint Abdulhalim Nassar, was executed in the northern Saudi province of al-Jawf on Monday.

A source close to the Saudi religious police told Arab newspaper al Hayat that authorities who searched Nassar's home found a book about witchcraft, 35 veils and glass bottles full of "an unknown liquid used for sorcery" among her possessions. According to reports, authorities said Nassar claimed to be a healer and would sell a veil and three bottles for 1500 riyals, or about $400.

According to the ministry, Nassar's death sentence was upheld by an appeals court and the Saudi Supreme Judicial Council.

Philip Luther, the interim direct of Amnesty International's Middle East and North Africa program, condemned Nassar's killing, calling it "deeply shocking."

"The charges of 'witchcraft and sorcery' are not defined as crimes in Saudi Arabia and to use them to subject someone to the cruel and extreme penalty of execution is truly appalling," Luther said.

Luther said that a charge of sorcery is often used by the Saudi government as a smokescreen under which they punish people for exercising freedom of speech.

Nassar was not the first person to be executed for alleged witchcraft by the Saudi government this year. In September, a Sudanese man was publicly decapitated with a sword in the city of Medina after he was found guilty of the same crime.

According to Amnesty International, at least 79 people have been executed in Saudi Arabia so far in 2011, more than three times as many as in 2010. The human rights group condemned the kingdom's reliance on capital punishment.

"Where the death penalty is used, under international law it should only be applied to the most serious crimes," Luther said.

The Saudi embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Illinois Teen Learns About Bank Fees

Illinois Teen Learns About Bank Fees:Melinda Ganziano of McCullom Lake, Ill., wanted to introduce her son to the basics of banking, but he ended up with $229 in fees in two weeks with a balance of just $4.85.

Ganziano, a 55-year-old mother of five children, encouraged her fourth child, Daniel, 18, to set up a savings account at a nearby TCF Bank "out of convenience" due to its location.

Ganziano and her son discovered that the bank offered little convenience due to the growing number of bank fees, as first reported by the Chicago Tribune.

After he put money into the savings accont from his job, Daniel Ganziano's balance eventually fell to $4.85 and with such a small amount, he ignored it.

However, TCF sent him a letter on Oct. 12 informing him that it had charged him a $9.95 monthly maintenance fee six days earlier because the account had a low balance. That led to an overdrawn account by $5.10, which then led to a $28-a-day overdraft fee. The account was 10 cents over the $5 threshold for which the daily fee kicks in. Young Ganziano's account was now overdrawn by $33.10.

Ganziano, who works in the nonprofit sector, and her son went to the bank that weekend to close his account, the Tribune reported. But they first had to pay the accumulated fees, which totaled $229.10.

Ganziano, who banks elsewhere, asked for the fees to be waived, but the bank would eliminate only one of the $28 daily charges.

"They would just not cooperate," Ganziano told ABC News. "We were trying to teach him the right thing. If he had overdrawn by himself I would have made him pay the fees, but it wasn't him."

She also learned that her older son, who had a balance of $0, would also be charged a monthly fee so they closed his account, too. Daniel Ganziano wanted to fight it by not paying the fees.

"But we said we have to take care of it and get out," his mother said.

She decided to pay the $229.10 in fees for Daniel's account and was told a regional supervisor would call her. After not hearing from TCF by mid-November, Ganziano contacted Jon Yates, a reporter who writes the "What's Your Problem" column at the Chicago Tribune.

Soon, a TCF representative called Melinda Ganziano and agreed to send her a check for the $229.10.

Jason Korstange, a spokesman for TCF said the bank recently switched from charging people $35 for every overdraft to $28 per day for up to 14 days when an account has insufficient funds.

"If we had done it by hand, someone probably would have said, 'Oh it's just 10 cents, let's not worry about it,'" Korstange told the Chicago Tribune. "But we process millions of transactions a day, and there has to be a cutoff number."

Korstange said if the Ganzianos had gone to another branch, a different TCF worker might have refunded the overdraft fees when they first visited. TCF told ABC News it had no additional comment.

Ganziano said her older son learned "banks are not the way they used to be."

"You have to check them out really well," she said.

UFO Filmed

UFO Filmed:Latest news UFO Filmed.Search result UFO Filmed.All about UFO Filmed.USA trend UFO Filmed.
Some 25,000 pro-democracy protesters in Moscow's Bolotnaya Square had an unexpected participant in their demonstrations on Saturday when a UFO was spotted hovering above the crowd.

Here is a somewhat blurry video capture of the scene, taken by a person in the crowd:

Several demonstrators in the crowd espied the hovering object, with reflecting blue and red lights. Descriptions of the object--which observers say was definitely not a helicopter--included "five extended tendrils or pylons emanating from the body of the vehicle."

But just because it was a UFO, doesn't mean it was extraterrestrial.

The UFO was in sight long enough for some protesters to climb trees for a closer look. Russian news site RT.com's Vitaliy Matveev disputes the UFO theory, saying the object was at worst, a Russian government spy drone or simply a news media camera filming the protests:

    Well, being among those tens of thousands of "confused onlookers", the only kind of debate I can recall in regards to the "object" was whether it was the police monitoring the security situation on the scene of mass protests through a drone camera or journalists taking aerial photos for their reports (or broadcasts).

    Despite standing quite far from the place above which the drone was hovering, I could still clearly see what it was, and so could the others. Needless to say, nobody was really "distracted by the UFO," as MailOnline assumes, provided more important distractions were unfolding on the ground.

On the other hand, wouldn't the aliens want the crowds below to be distracted by earthly political conflicts as the space craft hatched bigger plans for Planet Earth? We're just saying. . . .

Driver sent 11 texts in 11 min before crash

Driver sent 11 texts in 11 min before crash:WASHINGTON (AP) — A 19-year-old pickup truck driver involved in a deadly highway pileup in Missouri last year sent or received 11 texts in the 11 minutes immediately before the accident, federal investigators said Tuesday.

The driver sent six texts and received five texts, with the last text just before his pickup traveling at 55 mph crashed into the back of a tractor truck, beginning a chain collision. The pickup was rear-ended by a school bus, which in turn was rammed by a second school bus.

The pickup driver and a 15-year-old student on one of the school buses were killed. Thirty-eight other people were injured in the Aug. 5, 2010, accident near Gray Summit, Mo.

Nearly 50 students, mostly members of a high school band from St. James, Mo., were on the buses heading to the Six Flags St. Louis amusement park.

The accident is a "big red flag for all drivers," NTSB chairman Deborah Hersman said at a meeting to determine the cause of the accident and make safety recommendations.

It's not possible to know from cell phone records if the driver was typing, reaching for the phone or reading a text at the time of the crash, but it's clear he was manually, cognitively and visually distracted, she said.

"Driving was not his only priority," Hersman said. "No call, no text, no update is worth a human life."

The board is expected to recommend new restrictions on driver use of electronic devices behind the wheel. While the NTSB doesn't have the power to impose restrictions, it's recommendations carry significant weight with federal regulators and congressional and state lawmakers.

Missouri had a law banning drivers under 21 years old from texting while driving at the time of the crash, but wasn't aggressively enforcing the ban, board member Robert Sumwalt said.

"Without the enforcement, the laws don't mean a whole lot," he said.

Investigators are seeing texting, cell phone calls and other distracting behavior by operators in accidents across all modes of transportation with increasing frequency. It has become routine for investigators to immediately request the preservation of cell phone and texting records when they launch an investigation.

In the last few years the board has investigated a commuter rail accident that killed 25 people in California in which the train engineer was texting; a fatal marine accident in Philadelphia in which a tugboat pilot was talking on his cellphone and using a laptop; and a Northwest Airlines flight that flew more than 100 miles past its destination because both pilots were working on their laptops.

The board has previously recommended bans on texting and cell phone use by commercial truck and bus drivers and beginning drivers, but it has stopped short of calling for a ban on the use of the devices by adults behind the wheel of passenger cars.

The problem of texting while driving is getting worse despite a rush by states to ban the practice, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said last week. In November, Pennsylvania became the 35th state to forbid texting while driving.

About two out of 10 American drivers overall — and half of drivers between 21 and 24 — say they've thumbed messages or emailed from the driver's seat, according to a survey of more than 6,000 drivers by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

And what's more, many drivers don't think it's dangerous when they do it — only when others do, the survey found.

At any given moment last year on America's streets and highways, nearly 1 in every 100 car drivers was texting, emailing, surfing the Web or otherwise using a handheld electronic device, the safety administration said. And those activities spiked 50 percent over the previous year.

The agency takes an annual snapshot of drivers' behavior behind the wheel by staking out intersections to count people using cellphones and other devices, as well as other distracting behavior.

Driver distraction wasn't the only significant safety problem uncovered by NTSB's investigation of the Missouri accident. Investigators said they believe the pickup driver was suffering from fatigue that may have eroded his judgment at the time of the accident. He had an average of about five and a half hours of sleep a night in the days leading up to the accident and had had fewer than five hours of sleep the night before the accident, they said.

The pickup driver had no history of accidents or traffic violations, investigators said.

Investigators also found significant problems with the brakes of both school buses involved in the accident. A third school bus sent to a hospital after the accident to pick up students crashed in the hospital parking lot when that bus' brakes failed.

However, the brake problems didn't cause or contribute to the severity of the accident, investigators said.

Another issue involved the difficulty passengers had exiting the first school bus after the accident. The bus' front and rear bus doors were unusable after the accident — the front door because the front bus was on top of the tractor truck cab and too high off the ground, and the rear door because the front of the bus had intruded five feet into the rear of the first bus.

Passengers had to exit through an emergency window, but the raised latch on the window kept catching on clothing as students tried to escape, investigators said. Exiting was further slowed because the window design required one person to hold the window up in order for a second person to crawl through, they said.

It was critical for passengers to exit as quickly as possible because a large amount of fuel puddled underneath the bus was a serious fire hazard, investigators said.

Mayor’s Bizarre Family Christmas

Mayor’s Bizarre Family Christmas:Right about now, you're probably starting to receive Christmas cards from friends and family. It's pretty safe to assume that most of them are adorned with candid shots of smiling faces, and some even have a picture of the newest addition to the family: a kid or man's best friend. Well a Christmas card from San Juan's mayor just earned him a spot on the famous blog "AwkwardFamilyPhoto.com." The family Christmas card from Mayor Jorge Santini is not what you'd call an average holiday greeting. Santini and his family are pictured smiling standing behind a stuffed and mounted jaguar gripping a terrified antelope by the throat. But the strange pictures don't stop there. There's a series of photos featuring the family and their friends from nature: the Santini family with a bear and a large flying bird and an Antarctic scene with a penguin staring intently at Santini's son. It didn't take long for the main picture to go viral, with people sharing the picture on Facebook more than 15,000 times. Some people suspect that the photos are meant to send a message to his political rivals, but Santini says the photos were taken to promote the San Juan Wildlife Museum. On social media, it has people tweeting a triple response, "wrong, wrong, wrong," "yes, yes, yes," and "weird, weird, weird." Perhaps even more cryptic is the caption that reads, "That you may illuminate your dream this Christmas" in Spanish. Exactly what kind of dreams they are we'll leave to your imagination.

Charlie Sheen is in the news again. This time it's for making one of the oldest Twitter mistakes in the book: He tweeted his cell phone number to his 5.5 million followers. The tweet was meant to be a direct message to Twitter king Justin Bieber. It read, "310-954-7277 Call me bro. C." The tweet was retweeted by Sheen's followers hundreds of times. Sheen reportedly received 1,800 text messages in a matter of minutes, as well as hundreds of phone calls. Sheen even answered some of the calls saying, "Ray's Pizza" and "winning." When things got out of control and his phone wouldn't stop ringing and buzzing, he had the number disconnected. After all the hoopla, people are still asking why Sheen wanted to get in touch with Bieber. Was the tweet accidental or a publicity stunt? Only time will tell. We'd love to hear your theories.

Sarah Palin Can't Sell Hubby's Reality Show

Sarah Palin Can't Sell Hubby's Reality Show:Oh, the happier times of 2010. Back in those heady days, Sarah Palin and family were the fleeting toast of reality TV with her eponymous "Alaska" series on TLC. A year later, the one-time politico and Fox News contributor can't even get a network to bite on a show concerning her husband Todd's efforts as a championship snowmobile racer, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Bing: More on Sarah Palin | More on Mark Burnett

This, despite the fact that Sarah is rumored, once again, to be teaming up with "Survivor" and "Alaska" producer Mark Burnett on the project, and their previous collaboration's relative success.

Video: Watch clips of "Sarah Palin's Alaska"

It could be Sarah Palin oversaturation or the fact that she's already thoroughly emasculated her spouse in public perception. But if this news has merit, and both TLC and A&E have passed on funding Todd's televised adventures, it might just suggest that America has finally fallen out of love with the great, storied tradition of competitive winter transport.

Russell Simmons buys ad time during 'All-American Muslim'

Russell Simmons buys ad time during 'All-American Muslim':Hip-hop mogul and practicing Buddhist Russell Simmons is throwing his financial support behind the TLC reality series "All-American Muslim," tweeting on Monday that he is trying to purchase ad time during this week's episode of the show.

"Just purchased remaining spots for #allamericanmuslim for next week The show is now sold out! keep your money @lowes and we will keep ours," Simmons, as @UncleRUSH, tweeted Monday.

Bing: Lowe's and 'All-American Muslim' controversy

Simmons wants to use the time to advertise his prepaid Visa card, RushCard. But he said late Monday that he was having difficulty securing the ads ahead of Sunday's 10 p.m. broadcast of "Muslim."

"I'm trying to buy ads during #AllAmericanMuslim airing this Sunday, but now they are saying they are sold out. I will keep trying...," he tweeted.

Simmons acted in response to home improvement chain Lowe's pulling its ads from "All-American Muslim." The company was pressured by the conservative evangelical group Florida Family Association to stop financially supporting of the series. The FFA claims the show is "propaganda clearly designed to counter legitimate and present-day concerns about many Muslims."

Also from TheWrap: Mia Farrow, Russell Simmons Urge Lowe's Boycott After Muslim Ad Drama

Lowe's said in a statement to TheWrap, "The TLC program 'All-American Muslim' has become a lightning rod for people to voice complaints from a variety of perspectives -- political, social and otherwise. Following this development, dozens of companies removed their advertising from the program beginning in late November. Lowe's made the decision to discontinue our advertising on Dec. 5."

"We have a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion, and we're proud of that longstanding commitment. If we have made anyone question that commitment, we apologize."

Tell us Facebook: What do you think of the ad controversy?

Simmons is also backing a petition urging other companies to advertise during "All-American Muslim." Petition organizers reached their initial goal of 10,000 signatures on Monday, and, as of Tuesday morning, were 22,083 signatures towards their new goal of 25,000.

Meanwhile, the FFA's executive director, David Caton, told the Tampa Bay Times that hackers worked through 15 layers of security to breach its website, which forced his organization to shut the site down Monday night.

'God Particle' cornered, scientists say

'God Particle' cornered, scientists say:Physicists are closer than ever to hunting down the elusive Higgs boson particle, the missing piece of the governing theory of the universe's tiniest building blocks.

Scientists at the world's largest particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland, announced today (Dec. 13) that they'd narrowed down the list of possible hiding spots for the Higgs, (also called the God particle) and even see some indications that they're hot on its trail.

"I think we are getting very close," said Vivek Sharma, a physicist at the University of California, San Diego, and the leader of the Higgs search at LHC's CMS experiment. "We may be getting the first tantalizing hints, but it's a whiff, it's a smell, it's not quite the whole thing."

Today's announcement was highly anticipated by both the physics community and the public, with speculation running rampant in the days leading up to it that the elusive particle may have finally been found. Though the news is not the final answer some were hoping for, the progress is a significant, exciting step, physicists say. [ Top 5 Implications of Finding the Higgs Boson ]

"It's something really extraordinary and I think we can be all proud of this," said CERN physicist Fabiola Gianotti, spokesperson for the LHC's ATLAS experiment, during a public seminar announcing the results today.

Experts outside the LHC collaborations agreed.

"These are really tough experiments, and it's just really impressive what they're doing," Harvard University theoretical physicist Lisa Randall told LiveScience.

Sonija Kwok Sin Lei’s relationship with mainland action choreographer, Zhu Shaojie, was recently revealed and wedding bells may be in the air! Sonija uploaded a photo of herself and Zhu Shaojie on her Sina blog. Thirty-six year-old Sonija wrote, “I have waited for happiness for a long time. When I gradually forgot about this hope, this fool emerged. He said, ‘I am willing to give my life to you to bully!’ After hearing this, my tears gushed out. This is our story. ”
Allegedly, Sonija met Shaojie in July 2010 while on the set of mainland series, Palace <宫锁心玉>, which also star Maggie Shiu Mei Kei, Feng Shao Feng and Yang Mi. The action choreographer was Zhu Shaojie, who trained under the reknown Tony Ching Siu Tung. Shaojie took special care of Sonija and personally demonstrated martial arts moves for her scenes. Last summer, Shaojie celebrated Sonija’s birthday together. When Sonija was troubled by negative rumors, Shaojie comforted her.

Wedding bells may be close for Sonija and Shaojie. Rumors claim that the pair may be getting married in April 2011. On her blog, Sonija wrote, “Holding your hand, I want to grow old with you.” (執子之手，與子偕老).

After we separated, we have not been in touch. As for myself, I have been very happy and fortunate.” (How was Deric’s life with Winnie?) “Since reconciling with my ex-wife, Winnie, we have been very happy together.”

Former rumored flame and 7 Days in Life <隔離七日情>co-star, Steven Ma Chun Wai was happy upon hearing Sonija’s news. “I have not asked Sonija for confirmation yet. I’ll wait for her announcement.” (Will you congratulate Sonija?) “Any kind of positive news deserves congratulations!”  Although reporters contacted Sonija’s past rumored co-star, Michael Tao Dai Yu, he did not respond to the press before the publication deadline.

Hossan Leong

Hossan Leong:Latest news Hossan Leong.Search result Hossan Leong.All about Hossan Leong.Who is Hossan Leong.Singapore trend Hossan Leong.
SINGAPORE - Local radio personality Hossan Leong was reportedly censured for announcing the disruption to the Circle Line train services this morning.

The deejay was allegedly rapped because his announcement came before an official statement was released by SMRT.

He had reported the delays based on comments received on his Twitter account.

In another tweet at about 9am this morning, Hossan commented that he was now "getting into trouble" for reporting the incident on-air.

Hossan revealed that he could only "talk about it if (an) official SMRT statement is given".

It is not clear whether the warning came from MediaCorp or SMRT.

The response triggered a torrent of responses from angry netizens, with many cracking jokes at SMRT's expense and expressing support for Hossan.

Hossan subsequently tweeted an apology this evening for the uproar: "All's good. I'm sorry if I caused any misunderstanding," and asked readers to "move on" from the incident.

Thousands were affected by the delays on the Circle Line during the early morning rush-hour.

SMRT issued an advisory on its website stating that the train services were delayed as of 8.40am, but some reported experiencing delays as early as 7am.

The cause of the disruption was due possibly to signalling problems.

Passengers reported waiting between 10 and 30 minutes for a train.

Train services on the Circle Line were fully restored at 11.45am.

Sonija Kwok

Sonija Kwok:Latest news Sonija Kwok.Search result Sonija Kwok.All about Sonija Kwok.Who is Sonija Kwok.Singapore trend Sonija Kwok.
Sonija Kwok (Chinese: 郭羨妮, born 22 July 1974) is a Hong Kong actress, currently working for TVB.

She was born in Hong Kong and is of mixed Cantonese and British parentage. Kwok immigrated to Vancouver, Canada from Hong Kong. She initially attended the University of British Columbia but she transferred to Simon Fraser University and graduated there. After graduating from university, she became a Cathay Pacific flight attendant.

After finishing her studies, she flew back to Hong Kong in 1999 and competed in the Miss Hong Kong 1999 pageant. Before the semifinals, she was a favorite for the crown because of her looks. In the semifinal, she took the Miss Photogenic award. After winning that award, she became a huge favorite for the crown. This was because for the Miss Hong Kong pageant contests of 1996 to 2001, all winners of the Miss Hong Kong pageants had also won the Miss Photogenic award. Ultimately, she won the title of Miss Hong Kong in July 1999.

After winning the Miss Hong Kong title, she participated in many TVB events. In February 2000, she represented Hong Kong at the Miss Chinese International 2000 pageant in Las Vegas, Nevada. She won and was crowned Miss Chinese International of the year 2000 and had also won two other awards. She is considered one of the most successful Miss Hong Kong and Miss Chinese International winners, especially since she is the only Miss Hong Kong representative to win the Miss Chinese International pageant since Hong Kong's Michelle Reis took the crown in the pageant's inaugural year in 1988. After her success in both pageants, she represented Hong Kong at the Miss Universe 2000 pageant. Unfortunately, she did not managed to enter the top ten in that pageant which was held in Cyprus. However, she did make some impact though. For instant, by making the top ten of the Miss Photogenic polls and was featured in the front image of the Miss Universe website during that time. Kwok, as of now, is the last representative from Hong Kong to enter the Miss Universe beauty pageant.

On 24 March 2009, Kwok was attacked by her maid, who bit her arm, pulled her hair and held a knife to her neck. This followed Kwok's reporting to the police of an earlier incident in which the maid, apparently distraught over the break-up of a relationship, held a knife to her own throat and was calmed by Kwok. The helper was subsequently held in a mental hospital.

Kwok married Chinese martial arts choreographer Zhu Shaojie (朱少杰) in Guam in 2011. The pair met in a film shoot in China a year earlier.

MIAMI , Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- White Smile Global Inc. (OTCBB:WSML.OB - News).  Miami based Oral Health and Teeth Whitening Innovator today announces the completion of the re-formulated White Smile Pro™ Teeth Whitening Pen.  The Company designed their new product to compare with existing whitening "strips" and "trays" that make up the vast majority of over-the-counter purchases in North America.  The new pen system can be used to either maintain a persons whitening after any variation of professional whitening systems have been used, or to spot treat areas in which a person feels that their teeth are less white due to spaces between the tooth surfaces where stains can commonly accrue.

White Smile Global Management projects that similar to popular tray and strip kits, many consumers will use this pen system as a total solution to their teeth whitening needs because of the easy, quick application compared to other available products.

The White Smile Global Scientific Team, led by Oral Health and Teeth Whitening Expert, Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Martin Giniger DMD, PhD, MsD, FICD, created a revolutionary new "anti-sensitivity" gel called Vitagen™.  This proprietary formulation is the perfect balance of "All-Natural" ingredients, and other key components that have been balanced to ensure amazing results with none of the negative effects such as sensitivity, that are common placed with "daily use" whitening products. The pen cartridge itself has no metal or rubber components and is 100% safe from decomposition due to either contact or gas, which is known complication with Hydrogen Peroxide.

White Smile Global Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Martin Giniger DMD, PhD, MsD, FICD stated, "I have spent my career working directly with the best selling professional and OTC Whitening and Oral Care products, and this product consolidates the best aspects of all that is available today without the complexities that make teeth whitening a pain."  The White Smile Pro™ Teeth Whitening Pen will be sold in a 2.5mL pen which is approximately a 30 day supply for substantially less than a "14 day supply" of popular "strips" or "tray" kits.

The Love That White Smile™ Smile Whitening System was developed by Dr. Jonathan Shainhouse, a 20-year dental veteran and advocate of gentle teeth whitening. Love That White Smile was launched in Canada in October 2010 and in May of 2011 in Target® stores across the US. He has created a series of products designed to whiten teeth and maintain the results - all with a light, fun and flirty approach. Love that White Smile will be introducing its other whitening products to the US in the coming months.

Dr. Jonathan Shainhouse's primary product is the Love That White Smile Whitening System - a three-step program featuring a 1% hydrogen solution - that champions "ease" as its primary advantage, with a strong argument for reducing sensitivity coming in second. And, it's hard to argue the ease question - there are no strips or mouth trays - you use your toothbrush to apply the cleansing, whitening and maintenance foams.

Shainhouse developed the Love That White Smile line in response to the difficulty and inaccuracy of other at-home whitening systems. He believes that because it's easier to use - and because it "penetrates into the tooth more fully than gel whitening formulas" - that people will be more likely to follow through. A clinical study on the product found that there was a statistically significant improvement in shade color after 3 days of product use. Love That White Smile products are attractive, well-packaged and come with easy-to-understand instructions. The creators also have an impressive and innovative marketing campaign going on. All-in-all, it's a professional, upscale presentation.

Polaroid Pogo Digital Photo Printer

Polaroid Pogo Digital Photo Printer:Polaroid Z340What’s there to say about Polaroid’s new Z340 Digital Instant Camera? Sure, I could go on about the 14-megapixel image sensor, the clunky menu interface, and the pop-up LCD, but at the end of the day none of that matters a whole hell of a lot. If you’re buying a camera with the brand “Polaroid,” you’re doing it for a certain kind of experience, not performance. The question is, does it deliver?

From test shoots from models to the movie Memento, the Polaroid instant camera has been ingrained in the world’s consciousness since the popular SX-70 model was introduced in 1972. Snap the picture, a photo pops out, flap the photo around for a few minutes, and you’re done. It’s probably more familiar than making toast, and certainly easier.

Of course, like most things analog, the Polaroid fell into obsolescence as digital cameras got better and better, and the whole idea of print and film seems quaint today (high-end professionals excepted). After failing to adapt to the digital era, Polaroid went bankrupt, and what remained of the company discontinued the instant camera, and later the film.

Nostalgia is a powerful thing, however. A new company controls the Polaroid brand, PLR Holdings, and it’s been making a lot of noise lately — most famously, by employing Lady Gaga as a design consultant. The new Polaroid has created a digital version of the classic instant camera, the Z340, which combines a point-and-shoot model with a small color printer in a single case shaped similar to Polaroid cameras of old.

Sun Fei-Fei

Sun Fei-Fei:Latest news Sun Fei-Fei.Search rresult Sun Fei-Fei.All about Sun Fei-Fei.Who is Sun Fei-Fei.Singapore trend Sun Fei-Fei.
Sun Feifei (simplified Chinese: 孙菲菲; traditional Chinese: 孫菲菲; pinyin: Sūn Fēifēi; born February 21, 1981 in Hebei) is an actress from China.

In 1993, she started her education at the Beijing Dance Academy as a middle school student and then subsequently joined the Department of Chinese classical dance at the academy. After graduating from the academy, she chose to commence a career as an actress. In the serial Perfect Father, she portrayed a cute girl. Impressed by her lovely appearance and ingenuous temperament, the TV fans began to become acquainted with the new star. In 2009, Sun starred in a historical serial Kongque dong nan fei (孔雀东南飞), which featured a melancholy romance.

At the recent 2011 Esquire China Men of the Year Awards in Beijing, television actress Sun Feifei's (孙菲菲) white dress sash was stepped on by event host Fang Ling (方龄), which resulted in her dress falling off and her skin-colored bra being exposed. The incident echoes last week's Blue Vein Boob-gate, involving fellow C-lister Liu Yuxin's usage of a pushup bra about four sizes too small for her in front of paparazzi.

From the looks of it, there is something suspect about the gestures and expressions on Sun's face, as she reacts to the gifts her mother (or her surgeon) bestowed to her being semi-exposed in front of a horde of cameras.

The comedic splaying of Sun's arms and her poorly conveyed mock-surprise, along with the exaggerated look of oops on Fang's face, give us the impression that the whole thing was a planned publicity stunt.

Which we can surely understand. Given that all the boob-gloves seemingly came off in 2011, with a whole league of actresses striving to be noticed for the quality of their chest shape and sartorial framing (the reigning queen of this is Hunan TV host Liu Yan [柳岩]), Chinese celebrities will likely continue to keep showing off their treasure chests until the government drops the ban-hammer on the practice.

Some part of us wants to sympathize (in a totally non-partronizing fashion) with the Sun Feifei's and Liu Yuxin's of the world, who obviously smack of some desperation in their bid to get a little attention.

Sun, a graduate of the Beijing Dance Academy (alma mater of Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi) from Xi'an, will be 31-years-old in two months' time, and perhaps knows that revealing your cleavage with a falling-dress stunt is quite the savvy career move.

When the sand in the hourglass of brief celebrity is more at the bottom than it is at the top, we imagine one does whatever they have to to stay abreast of the ever-shifting waves of public taste.

UOB (United Overseas Bank) enables mobile money transfers

UOB Mobile:Latest news UOB Mobile.Search result UOB Mobile.All about UOB Mobile.Singapore trend UOB Mobile.
Earlier this week, local bank United Overseas Bank (UOB) launched a new mobile banking application for the iPhone that includes a Mobile Cash service which allows users to withdraw cash from automated teller machines (ATMs) without the use of their bank cards. This service also allows users to transfer money to a list of registered recipients – including non-UOB bank customers – by the use of an instant text message and a one-time password, which allows a recipient withdraw cash from over 600 ATMs in Singapore.

In a nutshell, you can draw cash – or transfer cash to someone – without the need for a bank card. All you need is an iPhone.

Speaking at the launch of UOB Mobile, UOB’s Head of Group Channels Wendy Teo says: “Our mobile application is not just about having internet banking transactions on the mobile screen. We studied how people use their mobile phone and linked that to our knowledge of their everyday banking needs. We then broadened the scope to look at what other features would matter to them. From there, we developed Singapore’s first Mobile Cash application for our customers to transfer money securely and easily.”

Wendy Teo, head of channels for group retail at UOB, revealed during a media briefing that customers will be able to download the UOB Mobile iOS app from the Apple App Store on Monday. It is looking to release apps for the Android and BlackBerry mobile platforms, as well as a mobile Web version, early next year, she added.

Elaborating on the process for mobile money transfers, Ong said users can select from a list of recipients on their app and specify the amount to be transferred. The sender will also need to create a six-digit, one-time password (OTP) and inform the recipient of the password. Once the sender completes the transaction on his end, a reference number will be sent to the recipient's mobile phone via SMS.

To safeguard users' accounts, they can only send money to up to five recipients and a maximum of S$500 (US$389.75) per day, Ong said. This service will appeal to users who accidentally left their wallets and ATM cards at home, or those who wish to send money to family and friends in need, he added.

Going by internal figures that show two out of three UOB customers are registered Internet banking users, the company expects many of them will use the app too.

The senior vice president also did not elaborate on how the bank plans to protect the app against mobile malware other than to say that UOB had built the app based on "stringent requirements" set by local regulators, and will make efforts to prevent the app from being compromised.
