PACKERS BEAT BEARS AND ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS

The Green Bay Packers beat the Chicago Bears yesterday 10-3 and with the win get into the playoffs as a wild card team will face Philadelphia in Philly next Sunday at 4:30pm.  The Packers trailed most of the game 3-0 before scoring the final 10 points of the game and coming away with the win.  The Redskins lost another tough one yesterday falling to the New York Giants 17-14, I think the Skins are glad that the season is over.  In college basketball action yesterday the Virginia Cavaliers picked up a much needed victory beating the LSU Tigers 64-50 at the JPJ.  The VCU Rams will be at Georgia State tonight in CAA action.  Well after being out of school for the last 2 weeks both the students and teachers are ready to get back to the classroom and some of you government workers will also be heading back today however I think there are a some who are of for a few more days.  MICKEY

Grocery carts
The handles of almost two-thirds of the shopping carts tested in a 2007 study at the University of Arizona were contaminated with fecal bacteria. In fact, the bacterial counts of the carts exceeded those of the average public restroom. Swab the handle with a disinfectant wipe before grabbing hold (stores are starting to provide them, so look around for a dispenser). And while you're wheeling around the supermarket, skip the free food samples, which are nothing more than communal hand-to-germ-to-mouth zones.
