UNC FIRES FOOTBALL COACH

Amid an ongoing scandal at the University of North Carolina Butch Davis has been fired as football coach just as  practice is suppose to start.  The fact that he got fired doesn't surprise many people but the timing of the firing has allot of people shaking there heads.  Just last week he represented UNC at the ACC football preview of the upcoming season.  It is hard to believe with all of the ongoing investigations into wrong doing with the program which has been going on for months that they found something in the last few days which lead to his dismissal.  The allegations of wrong doing have been going for about 2 years and the timing of this firing is just strange.  MICKEY

Lemon dish soap and Listerine repel mosquitoes
Fiction: This myth has been widely circulated around the Internet. According to the Florida Medical Entomology Lab at the University of Florida, these household products do not work to thwart mosquitoes. One of the most effective repellents is DEET. The Centers for Disease Control also recommends repellents with Picaridin and oil of lemon eucalyptus.

If you use a product containing DEET, read the label and do not over-apply. DEET is a powerful chemical that can be harmful if used incorrectly. Make sure the repellent has an EPA-approved label and registration number. Use caution with small children and stick with a formulation that is made for kids.
