Doctor's Prescription Medication
Medication drugs, such as Zyloprim (Allopurinol) and colchicine, are commonly given by doctor to lower uric acid in the blood and reduce the pain of patients. Since these 2 drugs have side effects for the long term usages, it is compulsory to be taken under doctor direction. The best way to get rid of gout is preventing it, instead of taking any drugs. You can find out detail about it in "how to cure gout" article.

As we know, water is the natural source that can help to reduce inflammation in the body. Hence, when gout attacks come, drinking a lot of plain water is a good choice. Avoid alcohol in the meantime during the gout attacks come.

Dilute 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon of honey into one glass of warm water. Be careful when your gastric is sensitive with sour taste, it is recommended to do consultation with your doctor before you decide to consume it.

Top Five: Subtle Glitter Shoes
I love anything sparkly and shimmery. If I catch a glint of something in the corner of my eye, I immediately revert to 'little girl mode' and run cooing towards whatever it is. That said, I find some of the glittery shoes available are...well... a bit much for my taste. Great to look at on the shelf, but not so easy to wear. So I thought today I'd pick five more subtle glittery shoes - perfect for the party season if, like me, you'd like to tone the glitter down just a notch.
First up are these lovely low-heeled 'Spangle' shoes from Shellys. They come in black, silver and this wonderful bronze. They're selling out fast though, so be quick to snap some up for £35. The cute silver flats are 'Autumn' at £20 from Faith, and are a darker silver than you'll often see, toning the bling factor down a bit.
You can still get the same sparkly effect without going for full-on glitter by using metallic suede or distressed leather. On the left is a gold (though looks quite silvery) round-toe suede court from Topshop (50), and on the right a cute red distressed faux leather peeptoe, with a sweet organza bow - just £24 at Diva.
One way to tone down the glitz is to opt for just a bit of sparkly detail, rather than looking like you've thrown an entire pot of glitter at your shoes. This 'Dolly' patent and 'dotted suede' open-waist court comes in both the blue shown and a deep ruby red and looks all the more sexy for the two-tone texture. Available for £49.99 at Schuh.

Remember Me
That encompasses the prevailing spirit of Let It Go, the fifth studio album from Grammy-nominated bluegrass expansionists The Infamous Stringdusters. The new effort, released April 1 on the band's own High Country Recordings, finds the band on firm footing, at ease with an evolving sound that defies categorization. It's acoustic music, sure, but not the kind you'll hear from any other band. Roots can be traced but boundaries don't exist.

The Hibernia oil platform is located in the north Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Newfoundland. It consists of a 37,000 tonne production facility atop a 600,000 tonne base, which has storage for 1.3 million barrels of crude oil. The base also contains some 450,000 tonnes of solid ballast, which keeps the platform secured to the seabed. Oil production began in 1997 and the surface facility, which is crewed by 280 workers, is designed to withstand impacts from Arctic icebergs.

Daybreakers (+ Popcorn Taxi premiere Q&A screening)

When: Wednesday, 3 February - Wednesday, 17 March
Where: Various cinemas
How much: $15.00
At first glance, one of Australia's most anticipated films of 2010 hardly looks like a local. With Ethan Hawke and Willem Dafoe taking the leads, Australian twin brothers Peter and Michael Spierig are doing their bit to cash in on the current vampire craze. It's 2019 and ten years after a vampire pandemic brought about the dusk of humanity. Indeed, humans are now too rare a commodity, and with blood supplies perilously dwindling, bank runs take on a whole new meaning.
Reluctant vamp and haematologist Edward Dalton (Hawke) is under the gun from his steely boss (Sam Neill), trying to manufacture a substitute (oh for some True Blood!), while a starving population starts feeding on itself, to rather gruesome ends. However a chance encounter with a band of humans leads Dalton to team up with the plucky Audrey (Love My Way's Claudia Karvan), a wry Elvis (Dafoe) and to discover a truly revolutionary opportunity.
Despite this fascinating premise and the careful construction of ingeniously retrofitted world, Daybreakers fails to dazzle. Granted, it's fun to watch local talent like Karvan, Vince Colosimo (Underbelly), Isabel Lucas (Transformers 2) and Michael Dorman (Prime Mover) bandy about with crossbows and American accents, however the scripting of these underdeveloped characters render most mere plot points.
But fans of the genre won't be disappointed. The Spierig brothers aren't afraid to get very bloody – and although the climactic shootout looks like it takes place on the Matrix lobby set, it (and the rest of the film) is packed with gruesome, gory goodness.
Be the first to see Daybreakers on February 3rd at Popcorn Taxi's premiere Q&A screening with the Spierig Brothers.

Partners in Prevention presents Campus Battle of the Belts, a seat belt competition between Missouri universities. The campuses compete to increase seat belt usage among students, thereby saving lives. An observational seat belt survey will be conducted before and after the Drive Safe. Drive Smart. educational blitz to determine the change in seat belt usage among the students.
College students are an important target audience as shown in a recent study, conducted by the Missouri Department of Transportation in conjunction with the Missouri Safety Center. Young drivers comprise 11 percent of the licensed drivers and are involved in 29 percent of the traffic crashes in the state. In the past three years, nearly 600 young people died in Missouri traffic crashes and 78 percent were not buckled.
The Battle of the Belts program's main goal is to reduce the number of motor vehicle related injuries and fatalities among Missouri college students by increasing safety belt use in Missouri.
One person at each campus serves as the main contact for correspondence and information. Two employees from Missouri Safety Center will be performing the safety belt check, while the campus contact will implement the educational aspect of the Battle of the Belts/Drive Safe. Drive Smart. campaign.
2009 Calendar
First safety belt check
Drive Safe. Drive Smart. education and media campaign
Six weeks following first check, second safety belt check will take place
Special recognition and a plaque will be awarded to the campus with the most improved safety belt usage rate and the campus with the highest overall seatbelt usage rate.
Previous Award Winners
Most improved safety belt usage: Missouri University of Science & Technology
Highest overall safety belt usage: Missouri University of Science & Technology
Most improved safety belt usage: Southeast Missouri State University
Highest overall safety belt usage: Missouri State University
Most improved safety belt usage: Missouri Western State University
Highest overall safety belt usage: Missouri State University
The following campuses are participating in Campus Battle of the Belts
- Lincoln University
- Missouri Southern State University

I am Anita. Currently based in California but born and brought up in Mumbai, India. I moved to California in 2011 and since then my life has been a roller coaster ride. Every day I learn something new. It can be about US culture, Information Technology or Photography!After coming here I developed my two passions..Cooking and Photography. Before marriage I never felt the need to cook or infact didn't even try to learn cooking. I was pampered a lot at home by mom and sister-in-law. Every day they asked me what I want to eat and I used to get it readymade:)Marriage took away this luxury. Though Ritesh, my husband never forced me to cook but I was tired of eating the Indian Food in restaurants which never pleased my taste buds. I was left with no option but to learn cooking. Thanks to Tarla Dalal & Sanjeev Kapoor cooking websites who were my savior in this whole trial, errors and learning process.Today I can cook a decent meal which is healthy, nutritious and most important TASTY:) I love to invite friends over for dinner. They always asked me the recipes for the dishes which I served which was an inspiration for me to write a food blog:)Photography was my first passion which I later incorporated with clicking my recipe pictures. I realized that good food photography can fulfill your appetite visually! As we all know 'A picture is worth a thousand words' I have focused a lot on food captures on this blog. A pictorial presentation is the most appealing. Apart from food photography I love clicking portraits and landscapes. You can visit Anita MokashiPhotography to view some of my captures.Writing this blog has enhanced my knowledge about food history, food photography and food nutrition facts which I have shared in my recipes. Most of the recipes on this blog are Indian but I try to share recipes from other cuisines too.A special thanks to My Mom who has been the best cook for me and whom I bug now and then to ask about traditional Maharashtrian recipes. My dad always taught me that serving food to someone is a good deed and thus I can't thank him enough for this lesson!

Through its meditations on Chinese professional development in areas such as journalism, law, accounting, engineering and the clergy, this collection of essays focuses on an Eastern power undergoing an "epochal effort at national transformation." Readers are asked to consider the areas of tension and overlap between Western professional models and those on the rise in the Chinese system, while confronting issues such as the historical roots of modern Chinese professionalism, the trade-offs between autocracy and state control, and the translation of professional values across international and ideological lines.

George Clinton Compares Chief Keef To Funkadelic
Funk pioneer George Clinton of Parliament Funkadelic says he loves the Chicago rapper's "I Don't Like."
George Clinton found an interesting musical link. The Funk pioneer said he compares Chief Keef's "I Don't Like" to Funkadelic's "Get Off Your Ass and Jam," a 1975 song Clinton wrote that has been sampled by Public Enemy, Tupac and Schoolly D, among others.
"I love that record," Clinton said of Chief Keef's "I Don't Like" during a VladTV interview. "[Chief Keef has] got the attitude. It's like, 'Shit! God damn! Get off yo' ass and jam!' 'That's that shit I don't like,' and they do it with such conviction."
Clinton also discusses the extensive number of rap artists who have incorporated his work, citing the music of Public Enemy, Erick Sermon, Digital Underground, Dr. Dre and N.W.A. "[Dr.] Dre, they did the West Coast version of P-Funk," Clinton said.

I talk to Garland County residents daily who want to know my position on various issues. I firmly believe in strong family values and equally in the importance of a strong community. As your Sheriff, I pledge to make needed changes to improve Garland County for you and your families and for the many visitors we have. To learn more about me and my vision for Garland County, refer to the frequently asked questions below.
Why do you want to be Sheriff?
I've dedicated my entire career to professional law enforcement. For the past 30 years, I have been a professional police officer in Garland County – this is my home. I sincerely believe that my training and experience make me the most prepared to be the senior law enforcement officer in the county. I've spent my life in the service of others and believe I can make a difference by serving in this position.
Will your name be on one of the ballots during the party primary elections in May?
No. As an Independent candidate my name will not be on the ballot during the primary election. However, I will be on the ballot for the general election on November 4, 2014.
Why did you decide to run as an Independent candidate?
After seeking counsel from many leaders in our community – including people active in Republican and Democrat politics – I decided that I could best serve as Sheriff if I were elected as an Independent candidate. Our judges and prosecutors are elected in non-partisan elections and I firmly believe that our sheriff should be elected in the same manner. I will uphold the Constitution and serve all people of Garland County.
What makes you different from others who are running for Sheriff?
There are some fine men running for this office and all of them have good credentials as law enforcement officers. The difference is that none of them have the breadth of personnel management experience I have, nor the formal education and training. I have been responsible for creating and managing a multi-million dollar budget and leading a diverse workforce with over 135 people.
What kinds of people are supporting your campaign?
I am proud to say that we have all kinds of people involved with our campaign. It has been humbling to see the professionals, blue collar workers, teachers, young adults, active and retired law enforcement officers, doctors, retirees and many others who want to help me get elected Sheriff.
Do you have the endorsement of the current Sheriff?
Sheriff Larry Sanders and I have been friends since we worked together as young police officers. I have the utmost respect for him and the job he has done as our Sheriff. Sheriff Sanders has wisely stated that he will need to have a good working relationship with whoever is elected as his successor and he will not be publicly endorsing any candidate.
What do you think are the most important qualifications for this office?
1) The ability to professionally manage a large law enforcement workforce
2) The experience to plan and implement a large and complex budget
3) The demeanor and tact to work closely with the County Judge, Quorum Court and other community leaders

Taylor sporting a seriously awesome fringe at The Fragrance Foundation Awards, NYC, 12th June
Now, whilst a blunt fringe might be bang on trend (excuse the pun), we really do understand that not only does a fringe require insane amounts of upkeep, but it's also notoriously tricky to keep your 'do looking fresh and, well, a little bit different. If, like us, your fringe repertoire is a feeling a little weary, it's time to take note of Taylor Swift's banging style. We might even go as far as saying Miss Swift's a fringe chameleon- always managing to switch up her bangs with some serious style.
Ever since we saw photos of T-Swift at last night's Fragrance Foundation Awards in NYC sporting a seriously gorgeous fringed up-'do, it seems our girl crush has increased ten-fold as we just can't stop staring at Taylor's amazing hair. Taylor went for a sleek bun worked with a light and airy fringe which, we reckon, is one heck of a red-carpet 'do!
Whilst most people tend to have a love-hate relationship with their bangs, it seems that Miss Swift is seriously feeling the fringe love. From retro glam bangs to light and airy bangs, we reckon Taylor has her bang-styling down to a tee.
Click through our gallery and get ready to switch up those bangs, ladies, as we check out Taylor's best ever fringe moments…

Hidden Money Traps when Buying a New Home
Today's Guest post is from Dwayne Thomas who works for CableTv.com. He frequently writes about various subjects, including saving money and technology. He welcomes your feedback on Twitter @DwayneThomas15.It's awonderful experience, moving into a new home. There's a great deal of satisfaction in having a place you can call your own and to shape a future within its walls. Sadly, there are also potential problems, even pitfalls, when it comes to buying a new home; financial pitfalls, which can multiply quickly if you're not careful. Here are a few things you should watch for when making a purchase.
#1 The Hook of FREE
The first trap to watch for is the smoke and mirrors of a free lunch. The very word free can cause many of us to agree to a purchase we would never consider otherwise. Free anything is appealing. Don't be swayed by added offers to entice you—weight and consider the whole picture before making any financial decision. It's wise to use a 24 hour approach: take a day to discuss the ramifications of any decision before deciding to buy a house. If anyone tries to push you into making an immediate decision, there's something shifty going on.
#2 Cut the Ships' Anchor
Have you ever had a Real Estate pro show you a breathtaking home or two, only to be carted off to see surprisingly less expensive homes immediately after? The asking prices were still out of your price range, but now, compared to the first homes you saw, they seem more affordable, don't they? That's called anchoring—using the higher-priced homes to create the standard to which you will now compare all of your other choices. This is a powerful tactic and one you should be very careful to avoid. Have your price range agreed upon before ever talking to a realtor, and stick to it.
#3 Pennies Equal a Dollar
You see an end table you like for $100. However, in the morning paper, you saw the exact same table for $50 just a mile away. Would you drive a mile to capture the savings? Sure you would. But what if that same table was $5,000? The same table is $4950 just a mile down the road—would you still drive there to save the money? Most people wouldn't. The brain tricks us into looking at percentages, rather than dollars and cents. In the first example, you saved 50%, whereas the second example was only 1%. We miss the fact that it's still a savings of $50! This is the same challenge when moving and the process of disconnecting of services, such as phone, cable, even utilities. Instead of swallowing all the connection fees—have you thought of utility or account transfers? There are brilliant services online, like billshrink.com that allow you to find the lowest prices in the area you're moving to for cable service. Many times you can simply transfer your current account from one location to another and save a decent chunk of change.
#4 The Special-Savings trap
When we receive gifts, especially money, we tend to treat it with special care, above and beyond our own accumulated wealth. A good example is receiving in inheritance from Grandma. She saved pennies over her lifetime—when she passed, it came to you. It's special because Grandma worked so hard to get it. This affects us adversely in two ways: one, we underestimate the worth of our own money in comparison, and; two, we hold back using the gift for fear of losing it. But that's what money is for—to use. When buying a new home—you may have more resources than you initially realized. Are you holding back because of an emotional misconception about the money in your possession? The best solution here is to mingle your funds in a savings account until you feel the same about all your funding, then use it wisely. Trust me, Grandma will understand.
#5 The Hidden Cost List
I know this might seem odd, the last item on this list being a list—but there are some specific hidden costs you need to prepare for when buying a new home. Here are the most common: Home Inspection: This is probably your biggest purchase to date—so you should protect your investment and have it professionally inspected. Find the damaged areas and make lists of what needs to be repaired and/or replaced. This can be an advantage—to bring a list of items to the negotiation table, or to discover if the property is worth buying at all. Appraisal Fees: Lenders require current appraisals, which used to be included in the closing costs. But what if the deal goes south? The appraiser still has to get paid, which is why you're likely to get charged up front—which can be an average of $350 to $400. The good news is it will show up as a credit on the closing statement when you buy the home. Closing Costs: Recording fees, survey fees, title, insurance, processing and underwriting fees are all legitimate fees, which are never really explained or outlined for homeowners. There are even administration costs in some instances that will be tacked on as well. Some of these items can be eliminated, if you're willing to do the leg work. Ask lenders for a Good Faith Estimate outlining the closing costs in detail. This gives you a chance to compare lenders and choose the one that's right for you. Trust me, the costs can vary—as much as 2 to 3 percent of the entire mortgage loan amount. That's huge, so do your homework. Moving Costs: Did you forget that you actually have to move in? Unless you have a lot of loving friends and family, it can be a huge financial drain, especially after getting hit with closing costs and other fees. Property Taxes and Homeowners Insurance: Your monthly bill will reflect more than just your mortgage and interest payments. All mortgage borrowers are required to get homeowners insurance. You will also have your property taxes included. PITI is principle, interest, taxes and insurance, and it's what you can expect on your monthly statement. Homeowners Association/Condo Fees: This is the devil of all fees, in my opinion—additional monthly robbery on top of everything else, paid to an association for services that "benefit the community." These same associations can dictate the rules and regulations governing how your property must look and how you can use it to a certain degree, while charging you an average fee of $100/mo. to do so. I recommend you get involved within your community and make sure your voice is heard. If you have had experiences in buying a new home and think I've missed anything of importance, please leave a comment below and share them.

About Tim O'Donoghue
Bernadette and Tim O'Donoghue met in The Windy City of Chicago a few years back. We acquired the property in 2002. We then returned from Chicago in 2004.
Bernadette was a paralegal secretary and is now a stay at home Mom and an excellent baker, I am an electrician by trade but got into construction during my 14 years in Chicago. I restored several old houses and classic vintage apartment buildings during my time there. I coupled this experience with Bernadette's keen eye and interior design savvy to create some wonderful finishes and unusual touches. We began the colossal rehab project in 2004 to restore the Priory to its former glory , it was basically completed it in 2007 or is it ever complete I like to ask myself ?
We pride ourselves in welcoming you into our place.
Tim O'Donoghue purchased this cottage in 2002
Why Tim O'Donoghue chose Killarney
I grew up in Killarney, where my parents owned a camping site and I truly loved meeting visitors on a daily basis. We have 4 children and we wanted to raise them here in Ireland, so we said we would give it a shot and here we are.When this property became available we realized how unique it was and what a fantastic opportunity it would be to own The Priory.
What makes this cottage unique
We are in a key location, a ten minute walk from town but it feels like we are in the heart of the countryside where you cannot hear a sound by night.
You will get a quiet private house to yourself where you can come and go as you please. You can cook when you want and have the full use of the 1.5 acre property on private grounds. You can sit back and relax in the front of the open hearth fire sipping a nice Irish whiskey or reading a good book with the sweet smell of turf burning away. You will get the real feel of Irish living and live like we live ourselves while visiting in your home away from home.
We are on site owners who are here to help you in any way you require and assure a wonderful stay. We have invaluable knowledge about the local area from cultural information to hikes, local food joints to off the beaten track drives. We can organize in-house chef, or poetry recital or to a music session.
We like to tell our guests ''We are as near or as far as you wish.'

OTTAWA - Foreign Affairs and Defence officials defended Canada's role in Mali and the surrounding region Thursday while warning military action alone won't defeat the threat posed by Islamic militants.
"There is a tendency to see military kinetic action as the silver bullet on the Islamic threat," Maj.-Gen. Jonathan Vance told the Commons' foreign affairs committee. "In fact, kinetic action does not address the root causes."
But officials also refused to say why Canada is one of the few Western nations not helping fund a UN-sanctioned, African-led force that will take over from French forces currently fighting in northern Mali in the coming months.
Thursday's committee hearing was the first time parliamentarians have been briefed in public about Mali, where French and Malian troops are battling Islamist forces in the northern half of the West African country.
Canada's main contribution has been making a C-17 military heavy-transport plane available to France until Feb. 15 to help move French troops and equipment into Mali.
Vance said more than 350 tonnes of French armoured vehicles, medical supplies and ammunition, as well as an unreported number of troops, have been moved since Jan. 17.
The C-17 is being used to transport French units and not African forces, Vance said, and National Defence has estimated the cost of deploying the plane for a month will be about $18.6 million.
An unknown number of special forces soldiers are also in the country; Vance said they are tasked with protecting Canadian diplomatic staff and other government assets, and will not be used to defend Canadian mining operations or other commercial interests.
Canada has also committed $13 million in humanitarian aid, and is helping train Niger armed forces while Canadian police officers are working with counterparts in the region.
Yet the officials refused to explain why Canada is not providing financial support for the Africa-led International Support Mission to Mali (AFISMA), the UN-sanctioned mission to prevent the Islamists from turning northern Mali into a base of operations.
Instead, Foreign Affairs assistant deputy minister Kerry Buck said while some countries are supporting military action in Mali, "we are continuing on the humanitarian front."
"The government will continue to reflect on the contributions that Canada can and will make," Buck said, adding that Canada "is doing its part" in "a complex crisis with a lot of causes."
Liberal defence critic John McKay said the time for reflection is over.
"The necessary contribution that needs to be made at this point is to training and helping the African-led mission," he said. "We all agreed it should be an African-led mission, but if they are not properly financed and trained, you increase the chances of failure."
The officials also downplayed the impact an influx of weapons from Libya two years ago - when Canada and its allies were helping topple dictator Moammar Gadhafi - has had on the crisis.
"During the time of the fighting in Libya, there was an outflow of arms," Buck said. "But (the Islamic militants) have been well-stocked for the past few years."
NDP foreign affairs critic Paul Dewar, meanwhile, noted that the Harper government has closed a number of Canadian embassies in Africa, including in neighbouring Niger, and has dropped a large number of African countries as aid recipients.
This, he suggested, has had a negative impact on Canada's ability to monitor and influence what is happening on the continent.
"Canada is very much engaged in Africa," Buck replied. "There's been no stepping away from Africa. There's a high degree of engagement."
At the same time, CIDA vice-president David Morrison defended the investment of hundreds of millions of foreign aid dollars into Mali over the past 40 years, and expressed optimism that most of those aid projects will bear fruit as they were in the south of the country.
"Despite all that's happened, I think our investments in the south have been well made and will continue to pay dividends well into the future," he said.
The officials said the speed with which the crisis in Mali spiralled out of control - starting with a coup last March followed by Islamists taking full control of the northern half of the country - caught the entire international community by surprise.
Buck noted separatist Tuareg rebels were demanding autonomy in the north even before Islamists took over, while a military coup in the south last March that overthrew the democratically elected government has complicated the situation further.
Canada has been calling for a return to democracy, she said, and welcomed the recent decision to hold elections in July.
Even if the Islamist threat is beaten back by French and African troops, she added, there will still be major issues to be addressed in the country.
Buck said Canada has interests in Mali, including commercial interests.
But while a paper copy of Buck's opening statement noted "over the past 15 years, Canadian companies have become important players in Malian mining research and exploration activities," she omitted that in her testimony to the committee.
Foreign Affairs, meanwhile, estimates 450 Canadians are in Mali.
All Canadians have been advised to leave the country.

Guilfest attacker James Wallington jailed
By mattcollison | Friday, December 14, 2012, 15:43
A MOTORIST who launched a violent attack on a dad who had asked him to allow his family to cross the road has been jailed.
James Wallington, 32, was jailed for three and a half years for the attack on Peter Hart.
Peter Hart, 40, was head butted and punched to the ground in front of his wife and 16-month-old boy in Kings Road, Guildford, as they left Guilfest on July 13.
James Alexander Wallington, of Great Goodwin Drive, Bushy Hill, Guildford was jailed for three and a half years today (December 14) after admitting grievous bodily harm on Mr Hart, who was left with a serious head injury.
Mr Hart had gone to to cross the road and gestured to a vehicle to stop in order that his family could reach the other side. The car stopped and Wallington got out and assaulted him.
The dad was in a critical condition in hospital and has spent months recovering from the terrifying ordeal.
Detective Constable Dave Platt said: "This was a horrific unprovoked attack on a local man who was just trying to ensure he and his family could cross a road safely.
"The sentencing today reflects the severity of this attack and I hope it goes some way to enabling the victim to move on with his life. He has suffered considerably, both physically and emotionally as a result of the brutal encounter and it is a testament to him that he has been able to help officers with the investigation.
"I would also like to thank members of the public who came forward with invaluable information following our appeals for help."

It can often be a challenge to engage middle school students in reading activities in school, but reader's theater has the characteristics to overcome this issue. Researchers quoted one middle school student: "Reading is OK. I don't usually read a lot because I like to skateboard, listen to music, and talk to people. I like social things and reading is not very social." Surveys confirm that middle school students feel the purpose of school reading is to answer questions and to accomplish other tasks. On the other hand, their out-of-school reading is linked to personal and socially oriented activities. Reader's theater allows students to laugh and interact with their peers, and can show students how reading can be social and fun, even in an educational setting! Reader's theater and other enjoyable read-aloud experiences help students develop a love of reading that lasts throughout their lives.

Virginia's unemployment rate dipped slightly in March but it was enough to make it the lowest jobless rate in more than three years.
The Virginia Employment Commission reported Friday that the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate fell 0.1 percent to 5.6 percent. The fourth consecutive monthly decline put the state's jobless rate at its lowest level in more than three years, according to the governor's office.
Gov. Bob McDonnell said the rate is also the lowest in the Southeast. He said it's evidence "Virginia is growing strong again."
The commission said the state's unemployment rate has been trending down since January 2010, when joblessness peaked at 7.3 percent.
"All of this means: more Virginians are working today. That is a good thing. It is a bipartisan accomplishment," McDonnell said in a news release. "Now, we must keep this positive momentum going. Virginia's economy is recovering, but it is still early. Too many Virginians still need good jobs."
The March 2012 rate is well below the U.S. jobless rate of 8.2 percent.
The Labor Department said the unemployment rate fell in most states: 30 states reported lower rates in March while eight reported increases. Rates were unchanged in 12 states.
But employers added only 120,000 jobs, half the pace of the previous three months.
That dip in hiring, along with recent increases in the number of people seeking unemployment benefits, has raised some concerns that job gains could slow in coming months.
Virginia's nonfarm payroll employment increased by 32,200 jobs in March compared with the previous month.
Increases were seen in leisure and hospitality, private education and health services, total government, trade and transportation, construction, professional and business services, finance, manufacturing, mining, miscellaneous services and the information sector.
The state agency said 61,237 Virginians were receiving regular unemployment benefits in March. That's up from 59,658 in February and down from 61,821 in March 2011.

Some truly ground breaking news was announced Thursday by Channel Six at the Nebraska Broadcaster's Convention. A new computer chip is in production right now that will allow Channel Six viewers to receive our TV signal, on hand-held devices, no matter where you are in the coverage area.
Let us introduce you to the future of television. "It's not necessarily I-Pod type video, or web video. This is video that is streaming wirelessly, directly from our transmitter," said Vice President of Technology for Gray Television, Jim Ocon.
He is working with Channel Six as a test plan, making WOWT the only station in the market with the technology right now. Mobile Digital Television transmits WOWT's live video, to hand-held devices.
The catch, there needs to be a receiver chip built-in. Because this is so new, those chips are very limited.
"The chips themselves, the little tuners, are actually being built as we speak," said Ocon. "So we expect to see the first consumer devices available at the stores in early 2010 if not the end of this year."
"This gives me goosebumps," said General Manager of Channel Six, Charlie Peterson. "This is the future of the television industry."
Peterson has one of the few cell phones with the built in chip. "The quality is really unbelievable and we're not even working with our better antenna, that we will be installing. So it's even going to get better, but I've been walking around with this, it's really amazing."
Because of a stronger digital signal, the video can be received virtually anywhere within Channel Six's coverage area. "It's designed to work in vehicles or whether you're out on the go, you could have a DVD player with a chip inside, you could have a cell phone, you could have a navigation system, so the possibilities are quite tremendous," said Ocon.
With Mobile Digital Television, it's like having a television in your pocket. Imagine the possibilities during a storm. Viewers will be able to take the hand-held device with them to the basement and have the warnings right in front of them.
"From an emergency alert perspective, I think it's going to be a must, or a need and not a want," said Ocon. "I think this technology is going to save lives."
Best of all, it's completely free. It's not offered through a cable or cell phone provider, so it does not even use cell phone minutes.
"I can't wait to see how quickly this explodes because once you see it working, and once you have it, you're going to want to have it," said Ocon.
For thousands of viewers who have missed Channel Six on the radio, on 87.7, in a few months, if you have a device with the built-in chip, you can take us with you. It will be available 24-hours a day.
