(A new study by the CDC in Atlanta)
One High School football team in Michigan has NOT won a game, or even scored a point, in four games this season. Now, the school district has decided to cancel the rest of the season.

The Dixie Classic Fair starts this Friday...
7-Eleven stores will soon start taking down their CITGO signs:
A week after Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez made some insulting remarks about President Bush during a speech at the UN, the convenience store chain saying that it will stop selling gasoline from Venezuelan-controlled Citgo Petroleum Corporation.
7-Eleven said in a statement it disapproved of Chavez' comments, but insisted that politics…not part of the decision to end its 20-year agreement with Citgo.
The decision to drop Citgo at 7-Eleven stores was made well before the UN speech from Chavez…but now was a convenient time for a press release.
7-Eleven will begin selling their own branded gasoline. (AP)
Details are emerging about the tragic death of a student taken hostage during an armed standoff in a high school classroom in Bailey, Colorado.
A mysterious gunman took six hostages before fatally wounding one student and then turning the gun on himself. Authorities still trying to figure out this tragic happening. The High School will be closed today. (AP)
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ter-rell Owens is saying that a trip to the hospital was NOT tied to a rumored suicide attempt. Owens suffered a broken right hand a week ago…and that a reaction to pain medication sent his to the hospital. (ESPN + AP)
An unidentified motorist hit a 12-foot-long ‘American alligator’ on Highway 17 in Onslow County Monday night. The 85 years old gator weighed in at 475 pounds. Yeah…The reptiles live throughout the Southeast, and it's not uncommon for them to cross major roadways as part of their seasonal migration.

WBFJ News Update
Authorities are still searching for two boys who were last seen wandering away from their grandparents on Hicks Farm Road near the Dan River in Stokes County.
The two boys JW and Jacob (ages 3 and 4) have been missing since Tuesday afternoon.
Anyone with information should call the Stokes County Sheriff’s Department at 336-593-8139.
Blood supplies are still at emergency levels.
Hurricane Ernesto forced the American Red Cross to cancel many of the blood drives that had been scheduled along the North Carolina coast over the weekend. Type O-negative, the universal blood type, is in great demand.
You can give blood every 56 days…if you are in good health, at least 17 years old and weigh at least 110 pounds. Call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE to schedule an appointment.
The latest named storm… Tropical Storm Florence is slowly gaining strength out in the Atlantic. Florence could become a Hurricane over the next couple of days. It’s still too early to tell if Florence will affect the US.
Many along the East Coast are still trying to recover from Tropical Storm Ernesto. -At least nine fatalities have been attributed to Ernesto.
-In Huntington, N.Y., a tree that is believed to be about 550 years old was weakened by the storm and fell Sunday. It was believed to be the oldest black oak in North America and once stood 90 feet high.
-Along our coast…
Numerous roads are still flooded east of I-95 including roads in Duplin, Jones and Sampson counties.
-About 140 people were evacuated in Duplin and Pender counties earlier in the week.
-The Cape Fear River should be back to its normal level by the end of the week.
NASA will postpone the launch of space shuttle Atlantis by another day after discovering problems with a fuel cell early this morning.

Please pass the lettuce. Evidence shows that approximately 80% of women in the US are not getting enough of the essential nutrients in their daily diet.

The study is being published in the September issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. (www.saladaday.org)
