The UAE labour law covers many of your rights as an employee including employment contracts, records of employees, salaries, working hours, national holidays, annual leave, health and safety of employees, disciplinary codes of conduct, termination of appointment, repatriation and gratuity or end of service benefits. The Ministry of Labour has introduced a compulsory electronic salary transfer system, to guarantee prompt salaries of all employees.
Calculation of Gratuity/Severance Pay
According to Article 132 of the UAE Labour Law, a worker who has completed one or more years of continuous service shall be entitled to severance pay at the end of his employment. The severance pay shall be calculated as follows:
21 days' wage for each of the first five years of service
30 days' wage for each additional year of service provided always that the aggregate amount of severance pay should not exceed two year's wage.
Severance pay shall be calculated on the basis of the wage last due, but shall not include whatever is given in kind, housing allowance, transport allowance, travel allowance, overtime pay, representation allowance, cashier's allowance, children's education allowance, allowance for recreational and social facilities and any other bonus or allowances (Article 134)
Deductions in Severance Pay
Where a worker under an indefinite term contract abandons his work at his own initiative after a continuous service of not less than one year and not more than three years, he shall be entitled to one-third of the severance pay. Such a worker shall be entitled to two-thirds of the said severance pay, if his continuous service exceeds three years up to five years and to the full severance pay if it exceeds five years. (Article 137)
Where a worker under a definite term contract abandons his employment at his own initiative before the expiry of his contract period, he shall not be entitled to severance pay, unless his continuous period of service exceeds five years. (Article 138)
For more queries / clarifications about Severance / End of Benefits Pay as per UAE Labour Law, please contact Ma'am Isabel Saguinsin II at +971 50 752 8573 any day after 9pm or send your comment and will respond accordingly.

A businessman has been arrested on charges of raping a Fijian girl in Delhi on the Holi eve, the police said on Monday.
Abhinav Kochchar, 28, who runs a travel agency, has been accused of sexually assaulting the 19-year-old girl after offering her a lift from a five-star hotel in south-west Delhi on Saturday night.
The victim, a student, had gone to a restaurant at the hotel along with some friends. When her friends realised that she had a drink too many, they asked her to return home.
Kochhar offered to drop her as she was leaving the hotel.
En route, she apparently lost consciousness and the accused raped her in his car near Deer Park, the police said.
Kochhar was arrested after the victim narrated the incident and identified the accused.

WESTFORD -- The Finance Committee has concluded its hearings on the town's fiscal 2015 budget and have set its final recommendation at about $102 million.
It's a 3.5 percent increase over last year's budget, putting the town's final operating budget at $102,060,094. Selectmen will review the proposal and take a final vote before Town Meeting in March.
An overview summary provided by the town shows the budget is about $815,000 above a recommended minimum balance for the year, which puts Westford in a good spot, according to Town Manager Jodi Ross. But for fiscal 2016, Ross said she is still forecasting a deficit of $2.8 million. Last year, Town Hall said Westford, in a worst-case scenario, could experience up to a $24.6 million deficit in fiscal 2018.
Ross said things are looking better for the town, but said officials will have to stay on top of managing funds.
Now-former Selectmen Chairman Kelly Ross put forward a policy direction memo late last year, asking to place all debt obligations and fund contractual obligations first in a list of priorities for the budget.
With strides made this year, Jodi Ross said she is still predicting a $7.4 million deficit for fiscal 2017.
"These numbers continue to change," she added. "We continue to do things throughout the year to bring that number into line to get a balanced budget."
On Monday night, the School Committee approved their final budget at $51,355,160, a 4.
Jodi Ross pointed to some cost-saving efforts the town put into place this year including new health insurance for employees.
"We look fine for fiscal (2015)," she said, "and I'm comfortable with 2016 too, but we have to keep working at making this work."

After leaving my Sony DSC-T2 camera unused for only a couple of days the battery was flat. I recharged it fully but again it only lasted a day or two. I assumed the battery was dead and I purchased a new Sony NP-BD1 battery and charged it correctly. This new battery is behaving exactly the same as the old one, only holding a charge for a day or two at most. It seems the camera is draining the battery when it is switched off, or maybe the charger is faulty ??? Any ideas?? many thanks - Geoff

I have a powershot a620. The battery compartment is coming undone...where you hold it..so the batteries have a little jiggle room. When it first "popped out" a small amount it was fine. on a recent trip it started coming apart more and the batteries then quit holding a charge. A fresh set of batteries now lasts about 20 min. I am guessing it might be because they don't have as good of a connection but I cannot get that part of the camera to go back under the "lip" and am afraid to take it apart

Brand new battery won't hold charge. Camera is three years old. I bought an extra battery when I bought the camera. They both seemed to go bad at the same time, so I recently bought two new lithium batteries, just like the originals. I'm having the same symptom--the charge lasts for only a few photos--maybe 50 without the flash.
If this happens even to new batteries, it may no longer be an issue with the batteries, but it can be an issue with the camera itself. check the maximum number of shots that the camera can take with the batteries per its specification. if it should p ...

Battery issue Hi, I've owned this camera for about 1 year. In the last couple of months the red battery icon will flash and the camera will shut down thinking it has dead batteries. The problem is, we may put in brand new batteries or fully charged re-chargable batteries and the icon is there right away. Does the mini battery inside need to replaced?

November 1288. Bereft of a king or rightful heir, England hurtles towards civil war for the second time in a generation. When David, Prince of Wales, and his wife, Lili, travel to London to attend the wedding of William de Bohun and Princess Joan, they have no intention of involving themselves in local politics.
But as infighting leads to murder, David and Lili find themselves at the center of a far-reaching conspiracy. Trapped between history and legend, they must decide how much they are willing to sacrifice to save not only their own country, but the people of England as well.
Meanwhile, back in Wales, Llywelyn and Meg discover that time is no barrier to either adventure or trouble.
Children of Time, Book 4 in the After Cilmeri series, continues the story of Llywelyn, Meg, and their children in the medieval kingdom of Wales.

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Wow wow wow , Whatba Great Addion to the series"
Of Course I would read it again , and Again . And plan on doing several times . As I will do with the entire series , after I finish it the first time
When David and his Father come to terms over , David's marriage to his beloved
The suspense , and writing the time travel , so that it goes in to an alternat dimension
It did , I broke out loud and laughed on more than one occasion . And was heart felt through out the story
Yes , I can't Waite to get exiles in time
"Great Story"
I enjoyed listening to this book and look forward to listening to the next one.
The series as a whole ranks at the top, which is saying something because I average an audiobook a week with my commute. This one is my second favorite of the series, Prince of Time still tops the list
At the end, when David's ally barons and his father kneel at his feet, and he acquiesces to take the throne. I have that moment bookmarked as it's a major turning point in the series.
In this installment, Laurel Schroeder had to incorporate multiple accents for both genders, and in two time periods. She does this so seamlessly that the listener does not get lost or have a hard time keeping up with the story or which character she is portraying.
I found this installment to be more cerebral in the way it incorporates the intrigue of multiple plots in the middle ages that David spends his time navigating with the modern day national security activity that Meg and Llewelyn must elude. I could not help but laugh, though, at Goronwy's amazement with toilets and coffee (much like Ieuan's) and the conversation between Llewelyn and Goronwy at the well at Cilmeri
I have read the published books in this series and have listened to the audiobooks thus far. I have recommended the series to many friends and recommend the audiobooks equally because of the added depth to listening to Ms. Schroeder bring the characters and story to life.
"Intrigue, Danger, Politics, and Coffee"
I love the way the story shows David (the young prince of Wales) doing everything he can to avoid being pushed to the forefront, disavowing the hand of fate and overlay of mythology calling him the Return of Arthur, only to find himself stepping into the role and becoming, even being, everything he has been saying no to.
I think when David and Lily were listening to the conspirators and David wanted to dash out and confront them, and Lily held him back with a quick lesson on "playing politics".
Laurel Schroeder brings the people, the story, and the relationships in the story and between the people, to life by giving each of them "a voice". She really does an excellent job in being each character without being campy or over dramatic, just shifts of tone and tone of voice to convey the different people
There were many moments that moved me: David sulking and being taken to visit the villagers who had helped him after he had been kidnapped by his own guards; The old woman in the hospital bed eye's lighting up as she promises to protect the true Prince of Wales; Goronwy's delight in his leather jacket; the events of the pre-wedding feast. It was a very moving book but see above, I'm all mushy over it all anyway.
I love this whole series and am enamored with the audiobook editions. The author's story comes to life in the excellent narration by Laurel Schroeder, and it's been an absolute joy to discover the stories I love when I read them come alive for me with the narrations. This audiobook was gifted to me by the author without strings or obligations, but I would recommend to anyone who has enjoyed the books that the audiobooks are an experience not to be missed, and anyone with an inkling of interest in alternate reality, time travel, history of the middle ages and the Welsh-English Conflict in medieval history in particular, would find this series a delight. This particular book can be enjoyed on it's own, but it is best enjoyed as part of the series. There is a lot of backstory to the events of this book that add immeasurably to the understanding of the whole.
"As always - superb reading to an amazing story"
Just three words? Intriguing, mysterious, heartwarming. Yeah I think that would have to do if I could only use three.
Not a book, well not a single book to be exact. I'm normally a fan of romance novels so of course there's lots of comparison there, but the murder mystery really reminds me a lot of watching old Perry Mason shows. I loved those shows.
Honestly? Princess Joan's speech at the end. Absolute favorite part. If you know anything about history, you'd know how amazing that speech was.
Maybe, "Perry Mason's Sliders meets Timeline"
I've listened to every one of these books so far, and I've read all of them printed as well. Spoken or written, I've recommended these books to anyone who loves time travel, history, sci-fi, and romance. They are absolutely amazing. It doesn't matter what platform you choose. This one in particular I listened to while reading again, and it followed along with the book almost word for word. A few of the others have skipped a few paragraphs here and there, which granted did not take away from the story, but if you're picky about that sort of thing - this one is almost spot on perfect. I love the way the voices change for every person and they're consistent from book to book. David's voice changes as he gets older through the books as well. It's a wonderful nuance.
"Another wonderful story"
I loved this book.
Laurel does a wonderful job bringing these books to life in these audio versions.
Love, love, love this series. can't wait for the next one in the series to be released.
"Narrator makes a great story come alive!"
Change requires self-sacrifice
After Woodbury's attention to historic and cultural detail and the alternate universe elements , I enjoyed the way so many of the characters in Children of Time accepted personal change for the benefit of their family and their country. David especially.
Schroeder has hit her stride on this, the fourth Cilmeri book she's narrated. In the previous three books she made each character's personality vivid and distinct. However in Children, it seems that she is more comfortable, her narration more relaxed and confident. Perhaps she isn't trying so hard to perfectly recreate the Welsh accents or pronounce the Welsh words, which is great for my old American English ears! Whatever the reason, Schroeder's performance (again) makes 13th century Wales come alive.
I gasped once or twice at the intrigue and perfidy common to Medieval politics. Was saddened by David's reluctant acceptance of power thrust upon him. Also touched by Meg's courageous, and literal, leap of faith to save Llywelyn's life.
Don't make us wait so long for Book 5!
"Love this book"
The time travel. the characters. The history.
Everything. I really love when they are reunited.
Go back in time and meet the last true Prince of Wales
This is my favorite series of all time.
"I'm hooked!"
Loved "Children of Time" and can't wait for the next book.
This series would be great to see on TV.

Buncrana family overwhelmed with support one year after pier tragedy, says priest
20/03/2017 - 12:04:44Back to Ireland Home
One year on from the Buncrana Pier tragedy, a local priest says the victims' families have been overwhelmed with support.
Louise James lost her partner, sons, mother and her sister in the accident.
Davitt Walsh swam to the sinking car to rescue a four-month-old baby after the vehicle slid on algae into the water.
A funeral Mass will take place at Holy Family Church in Ballymagroarty tonight.
Fr Joe Gormley said that the sole survivor of the tragedy, Rionach Ann, is doing well.
"Well, she's just a beautiful, beautiful little girl, has a beautiful smile, beautiful curly hair, and when you walk into the house she has her arms open, inviting you to lift her up or to greet her or to give her a hug," he said.

The 9th World Islamic Economic Forum (WIEF) was convened this year in London, the first time it has been held in a non-Islamic country, and building on the city's reputation for being one of the leading financial and cultural centres of the world.
Maslaha was invited to speak and showcase work at the forum, held at the Excel Centre over 29 – 31 October 2013, with the theme "Changing World, New Relationships" to encapsulate the emergence of new economic linkages between nations across borders, religions and cultures in a fast changing world.
Raheel Mohammed, founder and director of Maslaha, joined a panel introduced by Lord Bates and chaired by Carlos Pierre of Kiva to discuss 'Exploring Microfinance in Social Enterprise'. Discussion focussed on looking forward to the future.
The content of his talk is outlined in his blog, here.
Maslaha's work also featured around the wider Forum. Our films and material from The City Speaks and The Book of Travels exhibitions were showcased at the MOCAfest - the WIEF Foundation's art festival.
An accompnying full-page article written by Raheel was included on page 3 of the WIEF Changing World, New Relationshps brochure. Read the full article entitled 'Creating a knowledge-based economy' here.


text: Saturday evening one of the first true highlights took place with the "Remembering a Legend: Music of Grover Washington Jr." show put together by Jason Miles, a true labor of love dedicated to the great late saxophonist who hailed from Philadelphia, his wife Christine was in the audience also. Jason Miles summoned some of Grover's old cohorts like Buddy Williams on drums, Neil Jason on bass and - most notably - Ralph MacDonald on percussion, who was with Grover for a long time and composed several of his greatest hits. The show was aptly kicked off with "Winelight", featuring Gerald Albright on saxophone, followed by a great rendition of "East River Drive" giving Jeff Golub the opportunity to shine on the guitar. Then it was the turn of Walter Beasley to deliver "Reaching Out". Next was Ada Rovatti on sax, later joined by husband Randy Brecker on trumpet playing the cool "Loran's Dance". Then it was time for songstress Chante Moore to sing "Just The Two Of Us" along with Gerald Albright on the sax, followed by "The Look Of Love" supported by Jeff Golub on guitar with some spirited interaction between the two. Later in the show, they delved into "Black Frost" from the seminal Mr. Magic album, "Inner City Blues" featuring Chante Moore and at the end - inevitably - Grover's signature track "Mr. Magic" joining everybody on the stage, bringing another great Jason Miles project to a rousing end.

Rainn Wilson and Conan Show Off Fans' Scariest Dwight and Conan Tattoos
The Office's Rainn Wilson paid a visit to Conan's couch last night, and the duo had a nice chat about fans getting tattoos of their faces. Apparently, Dwight Schrute and Conan O'Brien's faces are popular options when bros get out to get inked, and the two share some pictures of the most frightening fan body art involving their own heads. Now that we've seen what's safe to say is the most frightening tattoo of Conan O'Brien's face, it's up to one of us to top it.

Gold Trades Near One-Month High as Investors Weigh Demand
Gold fluctuated after advancing to a one-month high as investors assessed the impact of the rally on demand. Platinum climbed to the highest level in two months on concern that miners in South Africa may strike over wages.
Bullion for immediate delivery rose and fell 0.3 percent, before trading 0.1 percent lower at $1,251.57 an ounce by 9:45 a.m. in Singapore. Prices earlier climbed to $1,257, the highest since Dec. 12, and a fourth day of gains would be the longest rally since October. Platinum was little changed after increasing to $1,446.75, the highest level since Nov. 15.
Gold has rebounded from a six-month low of $1,182.27 on Dec. 31, when it capped the largest annual decline since 1981, on signs of strengthening demand in China. The country probably overtook India as the largest user last year. Volumes for the benchmark contract on the Shanghai Gold Exchange fell to 14,630 kilograms yesterday, compared with an eight-month high of 24,875 kilograms a week ago.
"Physical demand is very price-sensitive, especially at the retail level," said Lv Jie, an analyst at Cinda Futures Co. "While that has helped gold hold up so far this year, we may see some of that demand drop off as prices climb."
Gold for February delivery was little changed at $1,251.40 an ounce on the Comex in New York, in trading volume that was 33 percent below the average for the past 100 days for this time of day, data compiled by Bloomberg showed.
Gold Coins
Data from the U.S. Mint showed gold-coin sales were 63,000 ounces yesterday, topping the 56,000 ounces sold in all of December. The U.K.'s Royal Mint last week said it ran out of 2014 Sovereign gold coins on "exceptional demand." Assets in the SPDR Gold Trust, the biggest bullion-backed exchange-traded product, were unchanged for a third day yesterday after sliding to a five-year low of 793.12 metric tons on Jan. 8.
Platinum traded at $1,443.55 an ounce. The most powerful union at the world's three biggest platinum producers plans meetings with its members this week in South Africa to test whether workers want to strike over pay.
Silver dropped 0.3 percent to $20.3368 an ounce after climbing to $20.4657 yesterday, the highest since Dec. 11. Palladium traded at $740 an ounce from $740.05 yesterday, when the metal rose to $746.65, the highest price since Nov. 12.

TNA's founder Jeff Jarrett was backstage at Thursday's Impact Wrestling tapings in St. Louis, Missouri. Jarrett was involved in a backstage production meeting and was also working in some kinda of agent role.
There has been a lot of talk that Jarrett is starting to be more involved in the week to week operations of Impact again, as opposed to working only behind the scenes in Nashville on new potential projects and international deals.

A new fund established by New York state will pay the lifetime medical bills of children who suffer neurological injuries during birth.( State gets a new bill – Times Union ) Do you think this is a good deal for taxpayers, patients or hospitals?
In a nutshell:
- The fund will cover children who experience an injury to the brain or spinal cord "caused by the deprivation of oxygen or mechanical injury in the course of labor, delivery or resuscitation or by other medical services provided or not provided during delivery admission" that results in permanent or substantial motor impairment or specified developmental disabilities.
- Families still must file lawsuits. Those that win or settle will be enrolled in the fund.
- The defendants (hospitals and doctors) still must pay attorney fees and punitive damages awarded by juries.
- Hospitals will pay a $30 million tax, but the cost of the fund is expected to rise to $100 million by the fourth year.
- The state will pay for the fund out of cigarette and health taxes raised under the state Health Care Reform Act.
Here's some interesting reading material…
- ThePopTort: Thinking of Having a Baby in New York State? Think About Going Elsewhere
- Obstetrics safety initiatives cut medical liability costs by 90% :: March 18, 2011 … American Medical News
And a statement from the Greater New York Hospital Association:
The creation of a Medical Indemnity Fund (MIF ) to pay the future medical costs of neurologically impaired newborns is a major milestone not only in reducing the unsustainably high costs of medical malpractice coverage, but in recognizing that many adverse outcomes are not caused by provider negligence.
Although the MIF will not be fully operational until October 1, its methodology will apply to all birth-related neurological injury lawsuits for which neither a settlement nor a judgment has been entered before April 1, 2011. The budget provides interim measures for coverage of medical expenses for cases that settle or result in awards after the enactment date. GNYHA has estimated that the MIF could reduce hospital malpractice costs by as much as $320 million statewide while also producing meaningful premium relief for obstetricians.
The MIF will cover children who have experienced an injury to the brain or spinal cord "caused by the deprivation of oxygen or mechanical injury in the course of labor, delivery or resuscitation or by other medical services provided or not provided during delivery admission" that results in permanent or substantial motor impairment or specified developmental disabilities.
Plaintiffs would still be required to file cases in and proceed through the courts and would still have to demonstrate provider negligence and causation. But in the event of a settlement or award, the MIF would pay for the child's future medical costs, as incurred, rather than the defendants paying an amount that often relies on projections or estimates. The defendants or their insurers would still pay for all other elements of a settlement or award as well as the plaintiff attorney fee attributable to the full amount of future medical damages identified as part of the settlement or award.
Funding for the MIF's initial year will be $30 million and come from HCRA. The State has indicated that funding for years two and three will be $75 million and $100 million, respectively. Later year funding will be based on there being at least $100 million in the MIF each year, increased by an adjustment factor over time.
In advocating for the MIF, GNYHA highlighted 1) the fact that cases involving neurologically impaired newborns are one of the principal drivers of high malpractice costs for hospitals and physicians, representing 35%-50% of some hospitals' total coverage costs, and 2) that while devastating, these cases are often not the result of provider negligence.

Working to Achieve Cybersecurity in the Energy Sector: A Public-Private Partnership Approach
Abstract: Energy delivery systems are critical to the effective and reliable operation of North America's energy infrastructure (electric power generation, oil, and natural gas production, transmission, and distribution systems) provides energy for our way of life. Today's highly reliable and flexible energy infrastructure is only possible because of the energy delivery systems' ability to provide timely information to system operators and automated control over a large, dispersed network of assets and components. This vast and distributed control requires energy delivery systems to communicate with thousands of nodes and devices across multiple domains, exposing energy systems and other dependent infrastructures to potential harm from accidental and malevolent cyber attacks.
I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them.
- Isaac Asimov
Just as drivers who share the road must also share responsibility for safety, we all now share the same global network, and thus must regard computer security as a necessary social responsibility. To me, anyone unwilling to take simple security precautions is a major, active, part of the problem.
- Fred Langa
In theory, one can build provably secure systems. In theory, theory can be applied to practice, but in practice, it cant.

Gold CD
Full Product Description
'Gold', from the mainstream Christian Pop Artist Britt Nicole, is a showcase of catchy Dance-Pop to encourage young people with solid, truth-soaked lyrics to uplift, inspire and promote a positive attitude.
This CD was inspired by her fans, as Britt received letter after letter asking for help. "I'd gotten lots of letters telling me, 'I'm struggling, I'm being bullied, I don't feel like I fit in... A lot of girls come up to me with their heads down, and I can just tell that they're feeling broken." Reaching out to those followers she crafted her latest single – 'Gold' – a self-empowerment anthem that has both soul and substance.
Britt (short for Brittney) Nicole's third album is packed with songs to match her infectious smile and sky-high personality. A mixture of high-powered beats with electro grooves that get your heart racing and your feet jumping, and soulful ballads to that create a backdrop for healing and reflection – 'Gold' has the Pop X-Factor as well as emotional and spiritual deep.
Gold CD by Britt Nicole was published by EMI in February 2013 and is our 4492nd best seller. The ISBN for Gold CD is 5099972316122.

Publisher's Description
Whether delivering a soulful ballad or a beat-soaked dance track, Britt strikes a stunning balance between vulnerability and self-assurance all throughout Gold. Not only evidence of her gift for crafting intensely relatable lyrics, that emotional complexity is a testament to her strength and honesty as a songwriter. "I write songs to myself," Britt shares. "It's always great to see them connect with other people who need to be reminded that worth doesn't come from having all the right things or from successit's about being who you are."
"Gold is such a spectacular album, with not a single bad song on it... If you like pop music, or even if you just like Christian music, I highly recommend buying this album! Gold is one of the best albums of the year so far; Britt definitely created a masterpiece with this one." - Jonathan Kemp, The Christian Music Review Blog.

Woman Throws Shoe At Hillary Clinton During Speech (Video)
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was forced to duck during a presentation on Thursday when a protestor threw a shoe at her head.
Clinton was delivering a speech about recycling for Scrap Recycling Industries in Las Vegas. It was one of several paid speeches Clinton has given industry groups this year.
"My goodness, I didn't know that solid waste management was so controversial," Clinton quipped. "Good thing she didn't play softball like I did."
The woman, whose name was not released, was wearing both of her own shoes as she was escorted off the property, which means that she intentionally brought a third shoe to throw. A spokesperson for Scrap Recycling Industries noted that she was not a member of the institute and should not have been let inside.
The woman was taken into custody and will face criminal charges, according to a Secret Service supervisory agent.
The incident was reminiscent of a 2008 shoe-throwing incident, when former President George W. Bush was targeted.

This is a compilation of Tennessee news and political stories assembled daily by staffers in Gov. Bill Haslam's office.
Haslam tabs Phillip Robinson to serve as Third Circuit Court judge (N. Post)
Gov. Bill Haslam today announced Phillip Robinson has been named judge of the Third Circuit Court for the 20th Judicial District. Robinson, who earned his juris doctorate from the University of Tennessee College of Law, replaces Barbara Haynes who retired last year. He was considered the frontrunner to replace Haynes. "Phillip has practiced law in Davidson County his entire career, and he will bring that extensive experience to the bench," Haslam said in a release. The Third Circuit Court will likely be designated a new family law court for Davidson County.
Phillip Robinson selected for Davidson Circuit Court post (Tennessean/Gee)
With his first Nashville judicial appointment, Gov. Bill Haslam named Nashville family law attorney Phillip Robinson to the Davidson County Circuit Court on Thursday. In the coming months, however, voters will have the final say on who gets the job until the next regularly scheduled judicial elections in 2014. The first step in that process is the March 6 Democratic primary election, in which Robinson is facing off against Nashville attorney Stan Kweller, who also was under consideration by Haslam for the temporary appointment. Robinson said he was thrilled to be chosen and he thinks it will help at the ballot box. "It's the biggest compliment that could be paid," Robinson said.
Haslam Names New Third Circuit Court Judge (WTVF-TV Nashville)
Governor Bill Haslam has named Phillip Robinson as judge of Third Circuit Court for the 20th Judicial District in Davidson County. The 61-year-old replaces Barbara Haynes, who retired last year. The Court will likely be designated a new family law court for Davidson County as Robinson spent 25 years of his 36-year legal career practicing exclusively domestic relations. "I am honored to receive the appointment from Gov. Haslam, and I appreciate the opportunity to serve the people of Davidson County in the Third Circuit Court," Robinson said.
APSU Child Learning Center Earns Gold Sneaker Award from Gov. Haslam (C. Now)
Last year, Connie Sanders, director of the Austin Peay State University Child Learning Center, became concerned about the preschool-aged children under her care. Many of them brought sack lunches with junk food and sugary treats, and she knew they weren't getting enough exercise at home. Obesity and diabetes loomed in their future, so Sanders and her staff decided to do something before it was too late. "We completely revamped our menus," she said. "We don't serve sugar at all. We serve fresh fruits as often as we can. We also do more than 30 minutes of physical activity with the children every day, in addition to the time we spend outside."
Venture capital firms praise 'multiplier effect' of TNInvestco program (MBJ)
Nearly two years after the Tennessee Investment Small Business Company Act began investing in small businesses around the state, officials with venture capital companies that received funding say the program has created a great environment for startups in the state. Representatives from Nashville-based Limestone Fund and Tri-Star Technology Ventures, as well as Memphis-based MB Venture Partners and Innova, addressed the investment strategies during a luncheon Thursday hosted by the Memphis Bioworks Foundation the Memphis University Club. "There has never been a better time to be a startup entrepreneur in the state," Gary Stevenson, co-founder of MB Venture Partners, said.
Haslam's administration objects to bill naming trail for Andrea Conte (AP)
The administration of Gov. Bill Haslam has flagged a bill that would name a perimeter trail around the Bicentennial Mall in Nashville in honor of a former governor's wife. Haslam is a Republican and his predecessor Phil Bredesen is a Democrat, but bill sponsor Rep. Jimmy Naifeh said he thinks the issue isn't politics, but money. It would cost an estimated $6,000 for signs to designate the trail to honor Andrea Conte — Bredesen's wife. Naifeh — a Covington Democrat — said he can raise the money if the state can handle the signs. Naifeh noted his request has precedent.
Grant secrecy bill returned to committee (Associated Press/Schelzig)
Votes in the state legislature were delayed Thursday on Republican Gov. Bill Haslam's proposal to close records used to make economic development grant decisions, as some lawmakers questioned why ownership details should be sealed. The state House of Representatives put off a decision on the bill for a week, and the state Senate sent it back to its Commerce Committee. Sen. Bo Watson, R-Hixson, acknowledged the ownership portion of the proposal has become the "fundamental issue around the bill," and Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey said he does not expect the bill to be brought back to the Senate floor until it has been rewritten so that the owners of companies that receive grants are made a matter of public record.
ECD Bill Goes Back to Drawing Board (WPLN-Radio Nashville)
The Tennessee state Senate today delayed taking action on a bill that would keep information secret about companies seeking state grants. The idea is that if the state Department of Economic and Community Development would keep certain information secret about companies applying for state money, they could make better decisions about handing it out. The original version would have made a great deal of information secret, even who owns the company. Democrats fought the idea, and some prominent Republicans weren't happy either, including Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey.
Effort to Expel Tent-Dwellers from TN Statehouse Plaza Passes Senate (TN Report)
A bill requiring that Occupy Nashville protesters break camp on War Memorial Plaza passed the Senate Thursday, 21 to 9. The legislation is in need now of only one more formalizing vote in the House before heading to the desk of Gov. Bill Haslam. Known as the Equal Access to Public Property Act of 2012, the proposed new law states that camping will be prohibited on any state-owned public property not designated as a campground. It also defines camping as erecting any temporary structure, or laying down bedding materials for the purposes of sleeping.
Senate votes to remove Occupy Nashville protesters (Tennessean/Sisk)
Ramsey: Warning should come first Tennessee lawmakers moved closer to removing the dwindling Occupy Nashville encampment at the state Capitol, but the leader of the state Senate said Thursday that he does not want Gov. Bill Haslam to move quickly against the protest. Senators voted 21-9 for a measure that would make camping without permission on government land a crime punishable by up to a year in jail, overcoming arguments that the bill is too broad and is meant to punish a single protest. A second vote will be needed in the House of Representatives, where it passed by a wide margin last week, before the bill goes to Haslam for his signature.
Senate Votes to Oust Occupy Nashville (WPLN-Radio Nashville)
Legislative Plaza, the state Senate today joined the state House in passing a bill to make such camping illegal. Sponsors of the bill to clear off the Legislative Plaza of unwanted tents say it's a matter of protecting state land – not silencing Occupy Nashville. Senator Dolores Gresham of Somerville says her bill addresses unauthorized camping, not free speech. "This bill does not have anything to do with right of protest, right of assembly, right of redress of grievances. It has to do with public management…of private …of, of state property."
Panel discusses fears of proposed 'license to bully' bill (News-Sentinel/Osborne)
A proposed bill that sponsors say guards the First Amendment rights of students actually reworks anti-bullying legislation and would protect those who harass and put the victim in more harm, an equal rights advocate said Thursday. Ben Byers, Knoxville committee chair for the Tennessee Equality Project, which is a statewide organization that supports and lobbies for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, was among the panelists at the University of Tennessee College of Law for a discussion the so-called "license to bully" bill that has been proposed in the Legislature.
Ramsey on secrecy: Biz ownership must become public (Nashville Biz Journal)
Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey said today he expects a compromise on economic development legislation to end with the state disclosing ownership of any company receiving incentives. The Republican head of the Tennessee Senate said he thinks any company asking for incentives — even those with an ownership structure that is currently private — should be prepared for that information to become public after the deal is done. He cast it as a political reality that the bill would need to go that far to pass the Legislature, and also said he believes it's the right level of disclosure.
Bradley County veterans nursing home still unfunded (Times Free-Press/Higgins)
The announcement that a proposed Southeast Tennessee veterans nursing home here is now fully funded was premature. A new list of federal funding priorities released this week shows the Bradley County veterans home pushed down the rankings by three late adds from Virginia. Now the area's state lawmakers are appealing to their federal counterparts for help. State Reps. Kevin Brooks and Eric Watson, both of Cleveland, and state Sen. Mike Bell, of Riceville, wrote to U.S. Sens. Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker and U.S. Reps. Chuck Fleischmann and Scott DeJarlais, who will represent part of the area after redistricting.
County Commission wants state leaders to intervene, release TBI file (NS/Donila)
Knox County commissioners want officials to release the entire state investigation into disgraced Criminal Court Judge Richard Baumgartner so they're turning to the governor and the Tennessee General Assembly for help. On Monday, they're expected to adopt a resolution that asks state leaders to first request the case files. From there, commissioners say, they hope officials will enact legislation that removes exemption for closed Tennessee Bureau of Investigation files "in matters considered to be of great public importance."
Suburban mayors want municipal school districts in plan (C. Appeal/Garlington)
Relying on a disputed interpretation of state legislation, the six suburban mayors are asking the commission planning the transition to a unified Memphis and Shelby County School District to include municipal school districts in its plan. In a letter addressed to Dr. Barbara Prescott, who chairs the Transition Planning Commission, the mayors asked the TPC to decide where children who live outside their municipal boundaries but attend schools within the city limits will be educated should new municipal school districts be created. The mayors said they believed those children should continue to attend their same schools.
Schools Planning Group Hears Specifics of School Structure Proposal (MDN)
The group drafting the blueprint for the structure of a consolidated countywide public school system got several dozen PowerPoint slides and a briefing Thursday, Feb. 23, on the idea of a two-track school system that includes a "path to autonomy." Between now and the transition planning commission's next meeting in a week, those in the group of 21 will look over the specifics including generally similar models in other school systems before a possible vote at the commission's March 1 meeting. The decision would be the first toward a consolidated school system structure.
New candidates file paperwork for 3rd District race (Nooga)
Two new candidates have filed papers to enter the race for the 3rd District Congressional seat. Barry Kidwell, an Independent from Hixson, and Zach Hiatt, a Democrat also from Hixson, are listed as candidates on the most recent list from the Hamilton County Election Commission. Multiple attempts by Nooga.com to reach both Kidwell and Hiatt for comment were unsuccessful. Along with Rep. Chuck Fleischmann, candidates to have already filed papers for the 3rd District campaigns include Republicans Weston Wamp, Scottie Mayfield and Ron Bhalla.
Voters, Campaigns Brace for Super Tuesday in Tennessee (WPLN-Radio Nashville)
Tennessee's Republican primary is a little more than a week away, and both voters and some campaigns are still trying to get ready ahead of Super Tuesday. For candidates, that might mean booking an event or two in the Volunteer State on relatively short notice. For voters, it means having to finally make a decision, after watching the race for months. When it comes to presidential primaries, Tennessee doesn't usually carry much sway. But of the ten states holding contests on Super Tuesday, it's third down the list in terms of delegates at stake. And early voting is well underway.
Gingrich botches name of Chattanooga landmark (Times Free-Press/Carroll)
Chattawhat? Newt Gingrich's presidential campaign confirmed a Tuesday morning fundraiser at an iconic Scenic City spot. One problem. "Chattahoochee Choo Choo Hotel," said a copy of an invitation obtained Thursday by the Times Free Press. "Crystal Room … $1,000 per person." Susan Meyers, southeast communications director for Gingrich, clarified the Republican presidential candidate's position on the city's world-famous venue. "The Chattanooga Choo Choo is one of Newt Gingrich's favorite spots in the South, and especially in Tennessee," she said. The invitation-only Choo Choo "VIP Roundtable" for the former House speaker begins Tuesday at 8 a.m., according to the invitation, which encourages supporters to give up to $2,500.
IRS says 18,000 Tennesseans could get 2008 refunds (Associated Press)
As taxpayers prepare their income tax returns for 2011, the Internal Revenue Service is still holding millions that are owed to Tennessee residents from 2008. IRS spokesman Dan Boone said the funds can't be refunded because more than 18,000 Tennesseans it should go to haven't filed returns from three years ago. Refunds totaling $16,130,000 await 2008 filings in Tennessee. Nationally, the estimate is more than $1 billion for people who have yet to file for that year. Boone said the late filing can still be done without penalty if a refund is owed, but only until April 17. After that, the money is turned over to the U.S. Treasury.
Uncertain future looms for Postal Service employees in Chattanooga (TFP/O'Neill)
After working for the U.S. Postal Service for 24 years, Mark Lawrence is left with a choice — move away from his family or find a new career. Lawrence is one of 110 employees at the Shallowford Road Mail Processing and Distribution Center facing displacement or unemployment after the Postal Service announced the plant likely will be shut down sometime after May 15. Lawrence and his wife, Maribeth, love Chattanooga because they can continue to live with their daughter, a junior at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. They have a house, friends, a whole life here.
Postal Service considers plans to close some offices, consolidate (CA/Sullivan)
Postal processing facilities in Jonesboro, Ark., Jackson. Tenn., and Tupelo, Miss., will cease operations and be consolidated in Memphis if a proposal announced Thursday passes congressional muster. The U.S. Postal Service announced that 223 postal processing facilities would close under the plan, which is expected, with other consolidations, to save $20 billion. It was unclear whether the increased volume being sorted in the Bluff City will actually increase Memphis hiring. The Postal Service has seen a 25 percent decline in first-class mail service since 2006, making some response inevitable.
3 USPS Closings Reroute Mail to Memphis Centers (Memphis Daily News)
The U.S. Postal Service says it is closing 10 mail processing operations across Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi, rerouting mail from three of those centers to Memphis facilities. Memphis will now handle postal operations for centers that are being closed in Jackson, Tenn., Tupelo, Miss., and Jonesboro, Ark. No processing centers in Memphis are slated to close.
Johnson City mail processing center to close, move to Knoxville (Herald-Courier)
As a result of studies begun five months ago, the Postal Service has made the decision to move all mail processing operations from: Chattanooga, Tenn. Processing & Distribution Center (P&DC) to the Nashville TN P&DC and Atlanta GA P&DC. Jackson, Tenn. Processing and Distribution Facility (P&DF) to the Memphis TN P&DC. Johnson City TN Customer Service Mail Processing Center (CSMPC) to the Knoxville, Tenn. P&DC. Once the transfers are completed, the mail processing operations at the closing sites will cease. There will be no change to any of the retail units, business mail entry units or vehicle maintenance facilities at these locations at this time.
US Postal Service to end mail processing in Johnson City, shift to Knoxville (JCP)
The US Postal Service has decided to move Johnson City's mail processing operations to Knoxville, despite what had been described as a five-month moratorium on such changes announced in December. "Once the transfers are completed, the mail processing operations at the closing sites will cease," the USPS said in a news release. "There will be no change to any of the retail units, business mail entry units or vehicle maintenance facilities at these locations at this time." Also in Tennessee, mail processing operations in Chattanooga will be moved to Nashville, and those in Jackson will be moved to Memphis.
Second lady, labor secretary talk up community colleges in Harriman (N-S/Fowler)
Like rock stars on tour, America's second lady and the U.S. Department of Labor secretary rolled into town Thursday on an unmarked, black luxury bus. Dr. Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, and Department of Labor Secretary Hilda Solis are on a three-day, five-state publicity blitz touting community colleges and their roles in training the unemployed to land jobs in a changing market. "We've finally recognized that not only can community colleges change lives, they can change our country," said Biden, a longtime community college educator.
Loot confiscated by TSA turns into revenue for states (USA Today)
From samurai swords to hatchets to snow globes, the Transportation Security Administration collects tons of unusual objects each year that passengers try to carry onto planes. The objects are what the TSA deems weapons or other threats to flight security. They're surrendered at checkpoints by forgetful or harried passengers who would rather give them up than miss a flight or return to the check-in counter and pay extra to put them in a checked bag. Among the most common: Swiss Army knives or similarly sharp multiuse pocket tools, though the gamut runs to swords or even fuzzy handcuffs that are more for bedroom use than law enforcement.
TVA President and CEO Tom Kilgore defends nuclear power record (TFP/Sohn)
TVA President and CEO Tom Kilgore told Chattanooga area engineers Thursday that sooner or later nuclear operators will be able to mine fuel to make electricity from their own spent fuel wastes. "I'll make a prediction," he said to a questioner who asked about spent fuel recycling. "One of these days we'll go out there and start mining those dry casks," he said of the Tennessee Valley Authority's onsite storage areas for used and highly radioactive nuclear waste. "France does it now. We just don't have the political will to do it," Kilgore said. Kilgore was the keynote speaker at the Chattanooga Engineers Week 2012 banquet, and his primary message was to explain "why we still need nuclear power."
JEA to decrease electrical rate (Jackson Sun)
The average monthly electric bill from Jackson Energy Authority will be 52 cents smaller starting March 1. The energy authority is cutting the electrical rate it charges customers because of lower supply costs from the Tennessee Valley Authority. The average residential customer bill will be $112.68 per month after the rate change. This is the third consecutive month the local utility has lowered its electricity rate. The lower rate is now 3.99 percent lower than it was last March.
Board of Education received bids for 21st Century Academy building (TFP/Hardy)
The Hamilton County Board of Education received two lower-than-expected bids for the now-closed 21st Century Academy, each proposal with very different visions for the vacant school. Locally based Emerson Russell Management Corp. offered $12,500 for the 74,000-square foot building, which sits on about eight acres at 4201 Cherryton Drive. Company officials said they hoped to renovate the building to house corporate offices. The other bid from Helton and Associates came in at $50,000, with a plan to use the building as a business incubator and community space.
Grundy County Schools' officials work on state audit findings (TFP/Benton)
Grundy County Schools' officials continue work on a January state audit that listed eight findings including more than $29,000 in overspending, a $19,000 overdraft, "questionable compensation" for three employees and unapproved bonuses for seven others, officials said. "A breakdown in communication of our protocol during a six-month period where the director position, and several supervisors, changed positions numerous times caused some of these problems," Director of Schools Jody Hargis said Thursday in an email.
County, city school representatives hear state funding details (Johnson City Press)
A meeting called Thursday to spell out the specifics surrounding how the state allocates funds to schools may have yielded more questions than answers as area officials and education leaders work to address the ongoing issue of budget constraints. Officials with the Washington County Commission, Washington County and Johnson City Schools, and representatives from the state legislature met with representatives of the state Department of Education to iron out the details of the Basic Education Program, or BEP, funding formula.
Deputy superintendent of Memphis schools placed on leave (C. Appeal/Roberts)
Irving Hamer, second in command at Memphis City Schools, was placed on leave with pay after he was accused of making inappropriate comments to another school employee in Supt. Kriner Cash's home over the weekend. The woman employee reported to work Monday but was out the rest of the week. Cash hosted a semi-social event at his home in Chickasaw Gardens last Saturday night for key members of his administration. Alcohol was served. Hamer, 66, is accused of making the comments to the woman in the company of others. In a letter to board members, Cash said he received a complaint Thursday that Hamer had "directed inappropriate comments" toward another MCS employee.
Razor blades found in inmate's prosthetic leg (Associated Press)
Sheriff's deputies in Maury County, Tenn., say an inmate at the jail was found hiding razor blades in his prosthetic leg. The Daily Herald says 64-year-old Kenneth Sneed of Columbia was charged with introducing a weapon into a penal institution (http://bit.ly/wHB3ea). He was in jail on charges of driving on a revoked license and theft. A report from the county sheriff's department said Sneed removed the leg during a search and two razor blades were found inside.
Maryland: Maryland Senate Approves Gay-Marriage Law (Wall Street Journal)
Maryland lawmakers approved Thursday evening a law allowing same-sex marriages in the state, but voters will likely get a chance to overturn the decision before gay unions begin in the state. The Maryland Senate passed a bill, the Civil Marriage Protection Act, by a 25-22 vote. Democratic Gov. Martin O'Malley, who sponsored the bill, has promised to sign the legislation. It was passed by the state's House of Delegates last week. The law, which isn't set to take effect until 2013, will probably face a ballot referendum in November led by groups opposing gay-marriage rights.
North Carolina: Pregnancy medical homes gain momentum in NC (Stateline)
Like most southern states, North Carolina has a higher than average rate of infant deaths and premature births. So it made sense to Medicaid Director Craigan Gray, a trained obstetrician, to attack the problem head on. Shortly after taking over in 2009, he began a campaign to create a new kind of program that would identify Medicaid beneficiaries with high-risk pregnancies sooner than before and use proven medical procedures to help prevent problems at birth. Launched less than a year ago, Gray's program, called pregnancy medical homes, is showing promise.
Texas: Divorce-by-Form Riles Texas Bar (Wall Street Journal)
The Texas Supreme Court wants to help financially strapped couples by offering them fill-in-the-blank legal forms they can use in divorce cases instead of hiring lawyers. Divorce lawyers—whose fees often exceed $100 an hour in Texas—are battling the plan. The fight is a sign of what experts see as a trend around the country: a growing number of people who try to represent themselves when they go to court to dissolve their marriages.
Texas: State to Close Program on Federal Health Law (New York Times)
A program created to help insurance-seekers in Texas cut through the complexities of federal health care reforms is shutting down in April, just 15 months after it opened its call center and years before the law goes into full effect. Officials with the Texas Department of Insurance say they plan to help fill the gap, but it is unclear whether they can handle what some health experts call a beast of a policy change: millions of new patients will be required to acquire health insurance, and those first-time policy holders will need help understanding their rights and benefits.
Free-Press Editorial: Sensible plan to fight violent crime and drug abuse (TFP)
Tennessee has a lot going for it. Our state enjoys the built-in advantages of a mild climate and stunning natural beauty. We also have the hard-earned benefits of solid economic development — despite the recession and the painfully slow recovery nationwide. And we have intangible characteristics such as a strong volunteer spirit and friendly residents. Tennesseans are proud of those qualities and many more traits that set the state apart. But it would be neither honest nor productive to pretend that Tennessee has no room for improvement on the troubling issues of violent crime and the use of illegal drugs.
Editorial: Remove secrecy about ownership from grants bill (News-Sentinel)
A so-called compromise that would divulge the business name but not the owners of privately held companies receiving public incentives in Tennessee fails to alleviate concerns about openness and the risk of corruption. Gov. Bill Haslam's administration is seeking a bill that would keep private information about companies receiving grants from the state. The bill is the companion of a measure that would explicitly allow such payments. The governor wants to set aside $70 million to use as incentives.
Times Editorial: A shrinking U.S. Postal Service presence (Times Free-Press)
The announcement Thursday that the U.S. Postal Service will move the sorting and distribution operations currently housed at the Shallowford Road Post Office here to Atlanta and Nashville is hardly a surprise. The Postal Service's problems — plummeting volume, high costs and regulations that make quick or substantial change difficult in most circumstances — are public record. So are the various plans, including the closure of facilities, put forward to balance the books. Still, Thursday's announcement is a substantial blow. It is a shock for several reasons.

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
My children are 3 years and 18 months.
It's more f the destabilising influence they have on their mother.
ive seen he jab her self with a screw driver while on the phone to him when he at the time was rejecting her. He's very manipulative and controlling. Of a restraining order is out of the question is there any other action I could take to protect the children.
she moved them away to Cornwall, I currently love in Hampshire in our family home. She has moved in with her mother.
He has*
I was considering taking my children back home what would the implications be?
My wife moved a week ago and until then I did most of the child care as my wife worked more hours than me
For example I looked after them Tuesday Wednesday Thursday and friday during the day I worked monday fri evening and sat 10 - 3
We did, it just seemed easier because I have to sort the house out not to have the kids there. I think there is always that idea that woman are better careers but since I have though about it more ie realised that may be better of in their family home
ATM the plan is that I will be moving down to the area but I will be renting a room..we haven't actually agreed on a plan just yet
Within 4 weeks of now
Not sure I'm just keeping my options open. I am standing in the local election, its unlikely I will one but if I did that then I would be tempted to stay. He only reason my wife has moved to Cornwall is to be near this guy and her family.
I believe my wife is at a point whether she decides to go for a relationship with this guy or not. It's really has very little to so with the fact that I feel betrayed I honestly don't want someone with so many issues suddenly around my two boys. Especially after the turmoil and upheaval they have gone through recently.

Get Yourself a Linked Data Piece of WorldCat to Play With by Richard Wallis.
From the post:
You may remember my frustration a couple of months ago, at being in the air when OCLC announced the addition of Schema.org marked up Linked Data to all resources in WorldCat.org. Those of you who attended the OCLC Linked Data Round Table at IFLA 2012 in Helsinki yesterday, will know that I got my own back on the folks who publish the press releases at OCLC, by announcing the next WorldCat step along the Linked Data road whilst they were still in bed.
The Round Table was an excellent very interactive session with Neil Wilson from the British Library, Emmanuelle Bermes from Centre Pompidou, and Martin Malmsten of the Nation Library of Sweden, which I will cover elsewhere. For now, you will find my presentation Library Linked Data Progress on my SlideShare site.
After we experimentally added RDFa embedded linked data, using Schema.org markup and some proposed Library extensions, to WorldCat pages, one the most often questions I was asked was where can I get my hands on some of this raw data?
We are taking the application of linked data to WorldCat one step at a time so that we can learn from how people use and comment on it. So at that time if you wanted to see the raw data the only way was to use a tool [such as the W3C RDFA 1.1 Distiller] to parse the data out of the pages, just as the search engines do.
So I am really pleased to announce that you can now download a significant chunk of that data as RDF triples. Especially in experimental form, providing the whole lot as a download would have bit of a challenge, even just in disk space and bandwidth terms. So which chunk to choose was a question. We could have chosen a random selection, but decided instead to pick the most popular, in terms of holdings, resources in WorldCat – an interesting selection in it's own right.
To make the cut, a resource had to be held by more than 250 libraries. It turns out that almost 1.2 million fall in to this category, so a sizeable chunk indeed. To get your hands on this data, download the 1Gb gzipped file. It is in RDF n-triples form, so you can take a look at the raw data in the file itself. Better still, download and install a triplestore [such as 4Store], load up the approximately 80 million triples and practice some SPARQL on them.
That's a nice sized collection of data. In any format.
But next to last sentence of the post reads:
As I say in the press release, posted after my announcement, we are really interested to see what people will do with this data.
I think I have heard that question asked with other linked data releases. You? Pointers?
I first saw this at SemanticWeb.com.
