|Jeremy Mayfield will appeal no more.
In May of 2009, Mayfield was suspended by the sanctioning body when a random drug test revealed methamphetamine in his system. Mayfield argued the failed test was due to a combination of Adderall and Claritin-D, but his case was dismissed. He has been unsuccessful in two prior appeals, and in late March, the United States Court of Appeals once again refused to reinstate the case, saying U.S. District Judge Graham Mullen had ruled correctly that Mayfield had waived his right to sue when he signed an application to be a NASCAR driver and team owner.
Speaking briefly with reporters during an appearance in Caldwell County court today, Mayfield said he will pursue the case no further. That decision will not bring an end to his legal problems, however. He appeared in court today on one felony count of possession of methamphetamine, three felony counts of possession of stolen goods and one count of obtaining property under false pretenses; all related to a Nov. 1, 2011 search of his home by sheriff's deputies. If convicted, he faces a maximum of 14 years in jail.
He also saw his North Carolina home go on the auction block this morning as part of a bank foreclosure. Mayfield and his wife, Shana, took out a pair of mortgages totaling $3,127,500 on the home and its surrounding 455-acre property in July of 2006. The loans fell into default after Mayfield was suspended from NASCAR, with approximately $2.3 million in principal still owed.
Foreclosure proceedings began in December of last year and Mayfield's lender, Carolina Farm Credit, purchased the home today for $1.725 million. CFC will allow new bids to be submitted on the $3 million property for the next 10 days. Mayfield has disputed the specifics of the case, telling reporters, "those numbers ain't right" during a court appearance last month. He said he had a plan to save his home from the auctioneer's gavel, and in a Twitter post recently, said the home, "will always be mine." In the aftermath of today's auction, however, he now has 10 days to pay the entire balance due, or vacate the property.
"I'm doing as good as I can with everything going on," said Mayfield to Sporting News reporter Bob Pockrass. "We're just working hard trying to get it all behind us. …Some great things hopefully will happen once we get all of this stuff behind us."

You've worked hard to build your home entertainment system, and you're proud of it. But if it takes you more than 10 minutes to watch a DVD because you're fiddling with various remote controls, there's one more piece of equipment you should get: A universal remote.
A universal remote saves times and eliminates clutter by allowing you to control your home theater equipment — TV, cable box, audio, gaming console — from a single source. There are numerous models out there, but the Logitech Harmony Touch stands out with its built-in touchscreen. (Philips also offers one with a touchscreen, called the Prestigo SRT8215, for $130.)
I've been using the Harmony Touch for the past week, and there's a lot to like about the remote. Setup is easy. The touchscreen provides one-touch access to 50 of your favorite channels, and you can use gestures to perform various tasks. That said, it also poses some problems.
Due to the location of the remote's 2.4-inch display, some key buttons are placed out of easy reach. Those who like physical buttons might also take issue with the remote's reliance on the touchscreen for things like entering channel numbers.
But the biggest hurdle may be its expensive $250 price tag. At this point, the touchscreen is a nice-to-have feature, not a must-have, so it's not worth the extra cost. Logitech's non-touch universal remotes, such as the Harmony 650 and Harmony 900, can do many of the same things for at least $100 less.
Still, the Harmony Touch is a nice-looking remote. In addition to the touchscreen, it offers 27 physical buttons. All the keys are backlit, and the display is clear and easy to read. It comes to life as soon as you touch it.
The Harmony Touch can connect with up to 15 devices, and Logitech says it supports more than 225,000 products from 5,000 different companies. I set up the remote to work with my Samsung TV, Motorola cable box/DVR, Roku XD and Panasonic DVD player. The entire process was a breeze.
Initial setup requires that you connect the remote to a computer with the included USB cable, and create an account (or sign into an existing one) on the MyHarmony website. (One thing to note for Mac users is that the website only works on the Firefox or Safari browser, and not Chrome. Windows owners can use Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer.)
The online guide then walks you through the steps of adding your devices, and assigning them to various activities, such as "Watch TV" or "Watch Movie." You can also choose your favorite channels during this time, but I encountered a hiccup during this process.
After entering my ZIP code and cable provider, the software provided a list of all my channels, or so I thought. As I started selecting my favorites, I noticed that the NBC HD channel was missing. Entering the number manually didn't surface it either, and it was only after I tabbed over to the Most Popular Channels section that I found it. I didn't have any other problems, though.
Once you've finished setting everything up, all of your data syncs with the remote so you can unplug and begin using it.
Since the Harmony Touch is built around using the touchscreen, everything begins there. Swiping left to right allows you to view your various options, and tapping on the screen selects an activity.
I set up three different activities for the remote: Watch TV, Watch Movies (for access to Netflix and Amazon via Roku) and Watch DVDs (for my DVD player). The Harmony Touch turned on the appropriate equipment for each task I selected, and also displayed a second menu of options that allowed me to control the devices.
For example, after tapping Watch TV, it turned on my TV and cable box, and then presented me with one-touch buttons for my DVR recordings, and a 123 key that brings up a numerical keypad for manually entering channel numbers.
There isn't a physical number pad on the Harmony Touch, which might bother some. But its omission is made a little better by the Favorites function. Though not immediately apparent, touching the star icon just above the display brings up your favorite channels, presented in a neat grid view. I really liked this feature, and you can edit your list right on the display itself.
Another way to maneuver through channels is with touch gestures. Selecting the Gestures option from the menu allows you to use a series of swipes and taps to control your TV. For example, swiping right or left lets you channel up or down, and tapping the screen pauses a program.
Gesture support is available for all activities, and though it worked fine in my testing, I still preferred using the physical buttons. It's quicker and easier, while you have to go through a couple of steps to activate gestures. This is true of the touchscreen functions in general.
With the touchscreen placed in the middle of the remote, the video controls (play/pause, forward, back, record) are relegated to the top, where they're hard to reach with one hand. I use these buttons a lot when watching my DVR recordings, especially to fast-forward through commercials, so it was frustrating to have to constantly move my hand. (I know: First-world problems.)
The Harmony Touch remote operates on a rechargeable battery, and comes with a charging cradle. Logitech estimates battery life at a couple of days when watching TV for a few hours a day. I averaged around four to five hours of TV watching a day, and the remote lasted three days before I needed to recharge.
The Logitech Harmony Touch performs its main duties well, and the addition of a touchscreen is a welcome idea. But its lacking design and ergonomics make this remote's high price hard to justify.

Red Sox collect second straight walk-off win over White Sox
BOSTON >> Mike Carp spent more than a month on the disabled list with a broken right foot. He watched the Boston Red Sox struggle, wishing he could contribute.
Sometimes, he couldn't bear to watch.
"Some of the nights, I almost had to turn the TV off in those situations because you can't be there to help," Carp said. "It's tough being on the DL with a boot on my foot."
He was smiling Thursday after delivering a pinch-hit single in the 10th inning that gave the Red Sox a 4-3 win, their second consecutive walk-off victory over the Chicago White Sox.
"Happy times," said Carp, who was on the disabled list from June 2 until being activated Monday.
There haven't been many of those this season for the Red Sox, the defending World Series champions who are in last place in the AL East. With two straight wins to end their 3-7 homestand, they head to Houston for a three-game series with a chance to build some momentum going into the All-Star break.
"Hopefully it'll get us in a little bit of a rhythm, comfort level," said left-hander Jon Lester, who allowed one run and struck out 12 in seven innings. "A win like today is huge."
Lester gave up seven hits and no walks. In his last six starts, he's 3-0 with a 1.01 ERA, 39 strikeouts, six walks and 33 hits allowed in 44 2-3 innings. He extended his streak to 45 innings without giving up a homer.
But fellow All-Star Koji Uehara allowed a tying, two-run homer in the ninth to pinch-hitter Conor Gillaspie his third long ball in three games and fourth of the season.
"He's been hotter than all get-out lately," teammate Adam Eaton said.
David Ortiz had a two-run double that gave the Red Sox a 3-1 lead in the sixth after Jose Quintana retired Boston's first 15 batters.
"I really wanted to win this game because (Lester's) a really good pitcher," said Quintana, whose scoreless streak ended at 20 2-3 innings, "but I had one bad inning in the sixth."
Pinch-hitter Daniel Nava started the winning rally with a leadoff walk and went to second on a sacrifice by Mookie Betts. Stephen Drew, in an 0-for-15 slump, was intentionally walked by Ronald Belisario (3-6).
Carp, who had been 0 for 2 as a pinch hitter in the series, then batted for David Ross and lined a single between shortstop and third base. Nava scored the winning run for the second consecutive game, and Carp was mobbed by teammates rushing out of the dugout.
In Boston's 5-4 comeback victory Wednesday night, Nava doubled in Betts for the tying run in the ninth and scored on Brock Holt's single.
Chicago had runners at first and third with two outs in the 10th, but Alexei Ramirez was retired on a grounder to pitcher Andrew Miller (3-5).
Ramirez led off the ninth with an infield single after first base umpire Cory Blaser's out call was reversed on replay. Uehara then struck out Paul Konerko before Gillaspie, batting for Moises Sierra, homered.
Lester trailed 1-0 after three batters. Eaton singled, Gordon Beckham struck out and Jose Abreu hit an RBI double over a leaping Jonny Gomes in left field. Lester then struck out Dayan Viciedo.
Lester fanned two batters in each of the first five innings and one each in the sixth and seventh before being replaced by Junichi Tazawa, who pitched a perfect eighth.
Uehara failed to hold the lead, though, his second blown save in 20 chances this season.
Boston went ahead in the sixth when the first three batters reached base on full counts.
Drew became Boston's first runner with a walk and went to second on a walk to Ross. Jackie Bradley Jr. attempted to bunt on the first four pitches, then took a ball to bring the count to 3-2. He grounded a single to right field for Boston's first hit, driving in Drew with the tying run.
The next two batters were retired before Ortiz's two-run double.
NOTES: Chicago lost its second straight game after winning its previous three. ... Boston scored in just five innings during the four-game series. ... Chicago LHP Chris Sale won the online fan vote for the final spot on the AL All-Star team, his third straight selection. "No matter, I think, how many you make, you still get excited about it," he said. ... The Red Sox send John Lackey (9-6) to the mound against Scott Feldman (4-5) in the opener of a three-game series at Houston on Friday night. The White Sox begin a three-game series at Cleveland with Hector Noesi (3-6) pitching against Corey Kluber (8-6) of the Indians.

Blue Jays slated to host 16 Grapefruit contests
Spring Training games officially begin on Feb. 24 against the Orioles
Toronto released its schedule for next year's Grapefruit League games on Tuesday. It will feature one trip from the American League champion Tigers, while all four AL East rivals are scheduled for at least one game.
The schedule opens at home on Feb. 24 with a game against the Orioles. That marks the start of a four-game homestand, with the Red Sox, Twins and Astros also making the drive to Dunedin, Fla.
Tickets will become available for purchase on Wednesday. That's when three-game Flex Packs and group tickets go on sale, while the sale of single-game tickets begins on Dec. 6.
The complete Spring Training schedule -- including road dates -- won't be made available until later in the offseason. Last year, the Blue Jays didn't start their Grapefruit League season until March 3, but the schedule begins earlier this year in part because of the World Baseball Classic.

I'll be performing 2 nights at Little Switzerland Orchard & Winery just outside Asheville, NC on September 5th and 6th. VERY LIMITED TICKETS AVAILABLE FOR EACH SHOW. Both shows start at 6pm and will be 2 full sets. SAFE, SOCIALLY DISTANCED, and RESPONSIBLE. For those that might attend both shows, I'll do my best to make each show different. GET TICKETS NOW HERE!
7.22.20 - Wow, it's been 3 months since we last updated this website, and what a long strange 3 months it's been. We've got a new release in the can and almost ready to go, just trying to decide the right time to hit y'all with it. The Ricky Nelson Tribute album is currently on hold, but we hope to get it out to you as soon as the timing is right. Our WEB STORE is fully stocked, and more NEW merch is on its way, please keep checking back in, it's pretty much the only money coming in right now. Blake is extending his run of private solo shows into the Fall, so please reach out using the CONTACT page and asking for more info. We'll check back in soon.
4.22.20 - Hey everybody, Blake here. The coronavirus has given most of us musicians an overabundance of free time as well as an enormous lack of income. I've taken taken this opportunity to dig through the vault for some very raw, unreleased, and mostly unheard demos written & recorded by me during the years 2005 through 2010. This collection has been curated personally by me, and consists of 14 very raw and spontaneous recordings, never really intended for public ears. You'll hear some bus squeaks, some verses repeated because there was never anymore written, some less than brilliant lyrics, and even plenty of off-key vocals, but I think that's what makes this collection so much fun. I understand that many of you are in the same position I am and uncertain when and from where your next paycheck will come. Therefore, this album is available FREE to anyone who would like to take a listen. But for those of you who are interested in helping the band and still are comfortably able to do so, you can pay a dollar, you can pay a hundred dollars, you can pay a cool million if ya want to. Pay $50.00 or more and I will mail you a hand numbered & signed copy limited edition "Old Demons" CD, and only 250 are being printed, EVER. Thanks for being the most amazing group of music supporters, we are so lucky and grateful to have the coolest, most loyal, and uninhibited fan base on the planet. I just hope you enjoy this little peak into the past. Please stay healthy and safe. More to come...
3.17.20 - Happy Saint Patricks Day!!! With all our work dried up for the time being, we got some new things at our merch store.

12.4.17 - Hey Everybody, Blake from Yarn here,
We've got new music and we want you all to hear it, but we really want to do something different. So what we are going to do, is release what we are calling virtual 45's, we'll release one each month for the entire year of 2018. Remember what 45's were? some of you might not, they were singles back in the old days, they're smaller vinyl records that spin faster, at 45 rpm, they had a Side A and a Side B, one song on each side, and that's how it was done, and that's how we're going to do it again, only entirely through our website, digital only (no actual vinyl 45.)
The project is called, Lucky 13, you know, because we're all so damn lucky, and 13 just happens to be our favorite number, hell I was born on the 13th, and so was Rod, my jersey in youth hockey had a big 13 on it, Rod lives on 13th St in Brooklyn, I even turned 21 on Friday the 13th, don't remember much of it but that's another story for someone else to tell. 13 just seems right.
We'll be releasing each virtual 45 on the 13th of every month, starting January 13th. There will be unique artwork, we'll tell you about the songs, we might even get a little weird and add some other content just for fun. Along with the download of the 45, which includes 2 brand new original songs, we will include a unique alternate version of one of those tracks, that alternate version track will only ever be available by purchasing the 45, it will never be on a record, it will never be on iTunes, and it will NEVER be on Spotify.
That's 24 new tracks and 12 alternate versions for your listening pleasure, so get on board, and join us all year long for brand new music from Yarn.
Lucky 13's virtual 45's is gonna be a good time, you'll see, stay tuned...
10.3.17 - Afternoon everybody. Blake here. It's been a tough couple of days in this country. My love goes out to everyone affected by the tragedy in Vegas. Absolutely heartbreaking.
As for Tom Petty, I just don't remember life without him. From the moment I can remember listening to the radio, he's been there. MTV, he owned it. Traveling Wilbury's, even my dad bought those records and wore them out.
My brother was a huge fan before I fully dug in. He bought the Southern Accents album when I was probably around 12 years old, and ever since, this has been THE Tom Petty tune for me. Go figure, a Yankee in New York and this was my favorite tune.
You're going to hear lots of Petty tributes in the days and weeks to come, and rightfully so. I woke up this morning and recording mine, hopefully he'd approve. Love you Tom and always will.

Well 2017, now that's really the year. We'll be starting in Thomas, WV on December 28th, The Broadberry in Richmond, VA on the 29th, The Visulite Theatre in Charlotte, NC on the 30th, and ringing it all in at Holston River Brewing Company on New Years Eve! Please share this post and help us spread the word. Happy Holidays Everyone!!! We love you all, thanks for keeping us in business.
12.6.16 - The week continues, it always gets a little harder each day, but here goes. This song touches on anxiety and depression. I feel like we all suffer from both of these things sometimes in our lives, some obviously much more severely then others. It's the human condition, it's inevitable. We all need help when we are hit with these thoughts and feelings, and we all treat these symptoms differently, some of us self-medicate with alcohol, recreational drugs, even food, anything, others are diagnosed and take the medicine they've been prescribed, others exercise, or talk or write about it to deal with it. It's just a part of life and there is no shame in any of it. Hopefully this one came out alright...
12.7.16. Day 3. Big thank you to everyone who is actually listening out there. This has been a particularly intense session of Morning Songs. The tune I wrote this morning, I've written from the perspective of a parent dealing with the knowledge of their child's struggle with mental illness. I can only imagine how helpless that must feel. I hope I did the subject even the slightest bit of justice.
YARN's 2016 Christmas Yarn Balls...

4.12.16 - "Love the audience's reaction to this song; it's more relatable than I even imagined." Thanks to The Boot for premiering our song "Sweet Dolly". Listen here.
4.11.16 - Yarn loves us some Paul Simon. This Is The Year, May 27th! Until then, enjoy this. . .
4.1.16 - We have never been more excited to release an album then this one right here. It's been over 2 and a half years, and as much as that has pained me, it was very necessary, this is the record we wanted to make and couldn't have done it at any other time. Pre-order your copy on iTunes here and enjoy the first single. Love to you all.
3.31.16 - This Is The Year is the title track off our new record that comes out in May. It sums up the place this band has gotten to over the past year, the future that lies ahead, and at the same time leaves the past in the past. There is no doubt we can all relate to the sentiment of this song, and I think the video captures how we're all feeling and relays that message even clearer. This IS the year, and so is next year, and the year after that... We shot this at The Visulite Theatre in Charlotte, NC, it was a damn good time.
3.24.16 - We recorded a live acoustic version of "I Let You Down" complete with Ricky B. on bowed bass and Rod on accordion. This is the last song on our new record and we can't wait for you to hear the studio version too! May 27th y'all! Enjoy, lots more extra stuff to come.
2.23.16 - This Is The Year!!! NEW RECORD DROPS ON MAY 27th Y'all. Super excited for everybody to hear it, best yet by far. More details to be to be announced soon, till then lets go Sailing...

Over 1,000 Chinese science journals on Tuesday issued a joint declaration against academic misconduct including plagiarism and fabrication.
The 1,050 journals in question are all administered by the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST), the largest national non-governmental organization of scientific and technological professionals in China.
In the declaration, publishers agreed not to publish any articles involved with academic misconduct and to punish editors who have knowingly published plagiarized articles, or misused their positions.
A previous CAST survey said that a considerable portion of the scientific community believed that levels of professional ethics and academic integrity are "generally dropping," which has been an obstacle to the country's strategic move towards independent innovation.
China has over 5,300 registered science journals, however their quality is still incompatible with the requirements of China's national innovative mechanism, said You Suning, president of the Chinese Medicine Association Publishing House.
CAST has 79 science journals in English, with 70 of them being selected as source journals by Science Citation Index (SCI) in 2011.

Help FYSB Mark National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month
The Family and Youth Services Bureau, or FYSB, will mark National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month in February, along with the White House, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and other federal partners. Young women in their teens and early twenties face the highest rates of violence and sexual assault.
As part of the government's overall efforts, FYSB's Family Violence Prevention and Services Program works with states, Tribes and community-based organizations to raise awareness of dating violence and promote ways to end it. In addition, FYSB's Division of Adolescent Development and Support promotes healthy relationships among young people through its adolescent pregnancy prevention and runaway and homeless youth programs.
"Many of the groups of young people we work with are at high risk for becoming victims of teen dating violence and sexual assault," says Debbie Powell, FYSB's deputy associate commissioner. "National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month is an opportunity to consolidate the efforts of everyone working on this important issue throughout our government and our nation's communities."

Have you documented the protests in Ferguson? Share your photos, videos and opinions with CNN iReport. For local coverage of the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown and its aftermath, go to CNN affiliates KMOV, KSDK, KTVI and KPLR.
Ferguson, Missouri (CNN) -- The tide may be turning in Ferguson, Missouri.
For the first time since a white police officer fatally shot unarmed black teenager Michael Brown, the streets emptied early Thursday.
Protest crowds thinned from hundreds to dozens late Wednesday, then disappeared. Thunderstorms may have doused their numbers.
"I hope that people do calm down and just continue it to be peaceful. I hope the outsiders leave and let the real individuals who are really trying to make a difference remain so that it can stay peaceful, so some type of resolution and change can happen," said Charles Davis, owner of a local burger bar.
Late Wednesday, police made targeted arrests. Earlier in the day, they suspended an officer caught on video pointing a semiautomatic rifle at peaceful protesters and shouting profanities at them the night before.
But community leaders were grateful that tensions on the streets had eased.
In a move that reflected what appeared to be increasing calm, Gov. Jay Nixon ordered the Missouri National Guard to begin withdrawing from the city. Troops had been sent there Monday to protect the police command center, which officials said had come under threat of attack.
"We're going to have a systematic drawdown. We're working with the commanders to do that, but we're going to make sure we keep safety there," the governor told CNN's Don Lemon on Thursday.
"As we see folks getting calmer, fewer arrests, fewer problems here, that mission we're going to draw down off that. We don't need the same force of strength," he said.
But even then -- when calm returns to Ferguson -- work in the community is not done, Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson told residents. He said police need to be educated, not by professors, but by regular people about how best to build bridges.
"We need not sit there and make excuses; we just need to make it right," he said.

We stand with Ferguson, Holder says
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder spoke Thursday about his visit to Ferguson to check in on the federal civil rights investigation into Brown's shooting.
"This attorney general and this Department of Justice stand with the people of Ferguson," he told reporters in Washington.
Holder has assigned scores of FBI agents and Justice Department investigators to look into Brown's August 9 death in the suburban St. Louis city.
Police have said Brown and the officer, Darren Wilson, struggled over the officer's gun; witnesses who have spoken publicly say the 18-year-old had his hands in the air when he was shot.
On Thursday, a source with detailed knowledge of the investigation told CNN that reports in the media that Wilson suffered a fractured eye socket from his reported scuffle with Brown are false.
The officer had a swollen face and went to the hospital, where he underwent medical tests and was treated for his injury, the source said.
A St. Louis County grand jury began hearing testimony in the case Wednesday, but it's not expected to make a decision on charges against Wilson before mid-October.
While Holder said agents have made "significant progress" in their investigation, he said it will still take time to complete and asked for the community's support.
Holder met with Brown's family not long after the teen's mother viewed her son's bullet-riddled body at a morgue for the first time. He heard from a woman who said her brother died in an encounter with Ferguson police in 2011. And he spoke to the community of a festering mutual mistrust between law enforcement and many communities in the United States.
Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden, told CNN's Anderson Cooper in an interview Thursday that Holder's visit made a difference.
"Because, you can read a person," she said. "And when you're looking at them and they're looking at you in your eyes, it puts some trust back there," she said.
His trip was not universally well-received, however.
Activist Akbar Muhammed gave the attorney general low grades for the trip.
"We thank him for coming, but he gets a D minus," Muhammed said.
"He came to have a community meeting, and in that community meeting he didn't meet with any of us who were out in the street," he said.
5 things to know about Michael Brown's shooting
Magazine: The aftermath in Ferguson
Slow wheels of justice
The grand jury meeting in Clayton, Missouri, will examine whether charges should be filed against Wilson in Brown's death.
St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch told local media Wednesday that the grand jurors will see every bit of evidence that investigators gather and will be allowed to meet as long as they want before making a decision.
"The aspirational time is by mid-October to have everything completed," he told CNN affiliate KMOV.
He wants the case to proceed through the grand jury "expeditiously" but also "thoroughly," he said. "We're not going to rush it through, and we're not going to leave anything out."
On Thursday, Holder declined to answer questions about whether his department was looking into past allegations of abuse by Ferguson police, including a 2009 incident in which a man said police bloodied him in a jail cell, as well as the 2011 death that Holder spoke of.
"I'll just say at this point, we are keeping all of our options open," he said.
Controversy over prosecutor
Activists delivered petitions they said were signed by 70,000 people asking McCulloch to step down.
"That is the only way we're going to bring strong confidence within this investigation," Missouri state Sen. Jamilah Nasheed said.
Critics have complained that McCulloch, who is tasked with prosecuting Wilson, could be biased in the officer's favor. McCulloch comes from a family of law enforcement officers.
His father was killed in the line of duty.
McCulloch has rejected that criticism, telling St. Louis radio station KTRS on Wednesday that the experience of losing his father turned him into a passionate advocate for all victims of violence.
He said again Thursday after the petitions were delivered that he would not step aside.
"I appreciate and understand the concerns of those who honestly believe that I cannot or will not be fair to all in the gathering and presentation of the evidence pertaining to the tragic death of Michael Brown," he said in a statement. "Although I understand the concerns, and do not take lightly the demands that I recuse myself from this case, I also recognize that I have a responsibility to the family of Michael Brown, the people of Ferguson and the entire community."

Amazing apartment rentals -- and some budget options, too
By Maureen Jenkins, Special to CNN • Published 19th February 2013
View Gallery
10 Pictures
Yes, room service is nice. A valet to tend to the rental car and a bellman who takes care of the bags are convenient, too.
But if you like the notion of returning "home" after a long day of sightseeing rather than just staring at the four walls of a hotel room, renting an apartment can be just the ticket. That's true whether you're visiting a city or town across the country or across the world.
Granted, a rental apartment isn't quite as carefree as a full-service hotel, but what you give up in service you're likely to more than make up in experience.
And the financial savings of renting a "flat" can be significant. Many elegant, wonderfully furnished apartments will cost you less per person, per night than even an average hotel room in world-class cities. You're likely to be able to afford a much nicer rental apartment than you can per night at a four-or five-star hotel. So why not trade up when you're on vacation?
Here are five things to keep in mind when renting tourist apartments on the road, whether you go through full-service agencies or do-it-yourself sites such as
How accessible and convenient is this place?
Probably the best reason for renting an apartment rather than a hotel room is that even if just for a few days, you get to experience life as residents do.
That not only means stopping in at the corner cafe and picking up fresh produce at the nearby market but being able to easily access public transportation or parking if you're renting a car. Find out if you can easily get to restaurants, pharmacies and recreation, whether you're in a city or a less urban area. Ask your rental agent or the apartment owner these key questions about your temporary 'hood before you sign the contract.
'Downton' in America: 6 big estates
You're likely to save cash if you do at least a bit of your own cooking while on the road, and a flat with even a small refrigerator and stove-top burners expands your culinary options. But you want to make sure you can easily get to food shops, local markets or grocery stores.
This writer rented a cozy one-bedroom apartment in Buenos Aires from
Reynolds Propriedades
in the trendy Palermo district, largely because of its short walking distance to the Subte, or subway, several bus lines, restaurants and shops.
What will my living space be like?
One of the main benefits of booking a rental apartment rather than a hotel is the extra space you'll likely get. That's especially true in many expensive world-class cities -- think New York, Paris, or Tokyo -- where a cramped but still pricey hotel room might be smaller than 200 square feet.
Before booking an apartment, you'll want to inquire about the number of beds and their layout. Are they Murphy beds that stash in the wall when you're not using them or twin beds you'll have to shove together to create a full-size one? Is the furniture high-end or assembled knickknacks you might find in a college dorm?
What amenities are provided in its kitchen? If first-class appliances and cookware are a priority, confirm this in advance. Are basic spices, coffee or tea available for your use, or will you have to buy even these staples? And does that charming, centuries-old apartment building have an elevator or only flights of creaky and winding stairs? Knowing these details upfront can eliminate unpleasant surprises once you check in.
Which perks do you pay extra for -- and which are included?
Some apartments tack on automatic cleaning fees, even if you won't still be around to benefit from said service because the housekeepers come once you check out. Others include some housekeeping during your rental, but only if you're there for one week or longer. Be sure to inquire about phone charges, especially if you're renting overseas.
7 ways to go local while traveling
With per-minute rates that can eat up your precious vacation cash in a hurry, look for flats such as those operated by
Parler Paris Apartments
Riviera Experience
in the gorgeous Cote d'Azur town of Villefranche-sur-Mer that provide free WiFi and international long-distance calls to dozens of countries, including the United States and Canada.
What happens if I need or choose to cancel?
While rental apartments offer travelers wonderful flexibility once they check in, their cancellation policies aren't usually as fluid. Rental agencies and services, many of which are actually small businesses, aren't able to refund bookings or accept last-minute cancellations as hotels do.
Vacation rental apartments -- even when they're maintained by larger rental services -- often are owned by individuals or families. They're counting on the income your rental will bring, so canceling with short notice could cost them cash if they can't rebook the property quickly.
That said, if you are looking to book an apartment close to the date you're traveling, ask about last-minute deals and off-season specials -- rental services and owners may slash fees in order to get heads in beds. But if you're worried about losing your prepaid deposit or rental fee, consider purchasing travel insurance before you leave home.
Are customized, hotel-like services even available?
So you've chosen to rent an apartment for all the great reasons above, but perhaps you don't speak the language in the country you're visiting. You're geographically challenged, would get lost inside a paper bag and need help getting around town. Or you're dying to book that super-hot small restaurant you read about but need help nabbing a reservation.
In these cases, a hotel concierge would be really handy -- but you're staying in a flat. Some upscale apartment rental services happily provide their guests with concierge services on demand (and often at an additional cost, but not always). For example,
Santa Barbara Vacation Rentals
in Southern California offers a free grocery shopping and delivery service for guests who complete a list 72 hours before check-in, and the items will be waiting in the unit when they arrive.
Starting at 125 euros a day,
Parler Paris Plus
in France will create personalized itineraries. They can also plan private yacht or helicopter rides along the Seine River, book Paris market or antique tours or for 75 euros an hour will run errands and purchase gifts for those guests who'd rather spend their Parisian hours being tourists.

TK & Helio Need To Bury The Hatchet
When I saw Tony Kanaan and Helio Castroneves get together at Sonoma this past Sunday, I winced. Not because I thought any physical harm was going to come to either one of them. Instead, I was afraid that it would intensify the bickering that has been going on between them since the end of the 2006 season. Since then, they have taken their animosity to Twitter – a new form of high-tech finger pointing. In the latest game of on-line "he-said/he-said" – Kanaan acknowledges that it may have been his fault, but it is time to quit taking this public and move on. I agree.
Racing traditionally thrives on feuds and rivalries. AJ Foyt and Mario Andretti battled each other on-track and off-track for years. They both had respect for each other's driving abilities, but deep down they really didn't like each other. Growing up in the sixties, you were either a fan of Foyt or Mario. You couldn't like both. You had to choose.
More recently, the feud between Helio and Paul Tracy has been stoked by the media to promote interest in the series. The same when Danica Patrick and Dan Wheldon got into a well documented one-sided shoving match on pit lane after the race at Milwaukee. Eddie Gossage had a promoter's dream that he took full advantage of, the following week at his track in Texas.
Yes, racing has always benefited from the publicity of a healthy rivalry. That is, until now. I personally don't care for this ongoing feud between Castroneves and Kanaan. It is uncomfortable to watch. It's like watching a married couple that you care about, starting to throw objects at each other. You care for both parties and you know that they are both normally above such antics. You want to tell them that they are better than that.
Maybe an even better example would be to compare them to a set of brothers. They practically grew up together. In fact, their lives and careers have been intertwined since Kanaan was thirteen and Helio was twelve. Kanaan had just lost his father to cancer. He was racing in karts in Brazil, when Helio's father befriended him. The boys had different backgrounds, but began to do a lot together away from the track.
Helio grew up in Ribeirao Preto, which was considered a country town compared to Kanaan's home in Sao Paulo – Brazil's largest city and about 150 miles away from Helio's home. Kanaan's family was considered upper middle-class before the death of his father. The Castro Neves family was considered more rural and blue-collar. Kanaan has always kidded Helio about being a hillbilly.
Late in their teen years, their paths took different directions. Both pursued their racing careers separately in Europe in the early to mid-nineties. Then fate would put them back together in 1996 as teammates on Steve Horne's Tasman Indy Lights team. The race for the 1997 Indy Lights championship went down to the wire between the two teammates with Kanaan coming out on top. The two of them both graduated to the CART series for the 1998 season with Kanaan staying with Tasman and Helio driving for Tony Bettenhausen.
Kanaan got the better start to his career by winning CART Rookie of the Year in 1998. Both drivers had transition years in 1999. Tasman Motorsports was absorbed by Gerry Forsythe's team, while Castroneves moved from Bettenhausen's team to Carl Hogan's one-car effort. Kanaan scored the first victory of the two by winning at Michigan that summer. Helio's best effort that season was finishing second at St. Louis.
The 2000 season found the pair on the move to new teams again. Kanaan had gone to Mo Nunn's new team after McDonald's failed to renew their sponsorship with Forsythe. Castroneves had been tabbed by Roger Penske to be Gil de Ferran's teammate after new Penske signee Greg Moore had been fatally injured in the last race of the 1999 season. This unfortunate event would be Helio's big break.
This is where their fortunes turned. To this point, Kanaan had had the more solid career. He had won the Indy Lights championship; he was named CART Rookie of the Year and he had already won a race in CART. For the next few seasons however, their career paths went in opposite directions. Such is the effect of signing with Roger Penske.
Helio notched his first career CART victory at Belle Isle in Detroit in 2000. He proceeded to win two more races that season. He would win three more races in CART the following season, but most importantly – he won the Indianapolis 500. For 2002, Team Penske switched over to the IRL and Castroneves won at Indy again – while finishing second in the IRL championship. All the while, Kanaan was languishing with three disappointing seasons with Mo Nunn that produced no wins and a best points finish of ninth.
Then it was time for Kanaan's big break. For 2003, Michael Andretti had bought Team Green and moved it to the IRL. He brought Dario Franchitti over from CART and hired Tony Kanaan away from Mo Nunn. Andretti-Green Racing had funding from Honda, as well as the powerful Honda engine. AGR quickly built a juggernaut and Kanaan responded.
Tony Kanaan won the IndyCar championship in 2004 and finished second in points in 2005. Up until this year, Kanaan had led in seven straight Indy 500's but has failed to win the big prize that has eluded him – the Borg-Warner trophy. In the meantime, Castroneves won Indy for a third time this year, but has failed to ever win a championship – and it won't happen this year, either.
The two began their quarrelling in the final race at Chicago in 2006. Castroneves was still in the hunt for the championship while Kanaan had already been eliminated. Helio was attempting to pass Kanaan who fought to keep him behind. Castroneves was incensed that his longtime friend would try to prevent him from winning the championship. Kanaan's perspective was that he is not paid to let people go by him. Both had a valid argument, but it produced hard feelings during the off-season.
The childhood friends carried their public dispute throughout the 2007 season. The media had a field day with it as they watched the two stiffen up when they were around each other. They finally seemed to thaw things out at St. Petersburg in 2008, when both finished on the podium. By Indy of that year, they were back on good terms but you sensed that the closeness was no longer there. It was more of a professional relationship.
The latest chapter in this saga was written this week, when the two sparred verbally in the media and through Twitter. The childhood friends are acting like it – like children. It was funny to watch Eddie Cheever spar with the Andretti's, Bobby Unser go at it with Sam Posey and Foyt whacking Luyendyk. It's not funny to watch two lifelong friends and competitors, taking potshots at each other in the media. With the history that they share, it's really kind of sad.
George Phillips
One Response to "TK & Helio Need To Bury The Hatchet"
I think rivalries are good and healthy, but when I heard about the "twitter-fight", it came across as quite sad.
It's the kind of thing that I associate with Z-list celebrities, when they "do battle" with ex-lovers for a bit of publicity in tabloid papers – it's definitely not what I expect from two of the most professional racers I've ever seen. If they are going to have it out, they could at least strap on some underwear and have a wrestling match in the ring – it could make an interesting sideshow at Chicago and Versus could broadcast it as part of the pre-show.
Back to reality though and I think "disappointed" is the main word that I'm thinking here.

Nearly 11 years have passed since the 2001 bioterrorism-related anthrax attacks that shook the nation, killing five people and injuring 17, but according to Alan Zelicoff, MD, director of The Institute for Biosecurity at Saint Louis University, the country has still not learned its lesson.

Nearly 11 years have passed since the 2001 bioterrorism-related anthrax attacks that shook the nation, killing five people and injuring 17, but according to Alan Zelicoff, MD, director of The Institute for Biosecurity at Saint Louis University, the country has still not learned its lesson.
"The key requirement for mitigating the effects of a bioterrorism attack is early detection and diagnosis," Zelicoff says. "Our current disease detection system is still hobbled by slow transfer of information to public health officials who might otherwise be able to determine unusual patterns or disease that suggests a bioterror attack."
Zelicoff says current data mining approaches are passive and don't provide immediate solutions to the emergencies at hand. He proposes an electronic, clinician-based reporting system that would have the capacity to limit the impact of a bioterrorism attack. "We need a nationwide but locally-operated real-time disease surveillance system," Zelicoff says. "Nobody knows about the local health system better than the local public health officials."
Through this system clinicians will be able to immediately report the information about unusual or unusually severe set of symptoms to the local public health officials and update the local map where cases are being reported along with a time graph.
Zelicoff anticipates this real-time system will help speed up the initiation of an outbreak investigation and take immediate control of bioterror situations.
Before he joined SLU, Zelicoff helped develop a similar system called the Syndrome Reporting Information System (SYRIS) for ARES Corporation, a software development company in Albuquerque, N.M. SYRIS was in use from 2004-2011 by public health officials responsible for monitoring the health of more than 1.25 million people in Texas and countless agricultural animals and wildlife as well. While inexpensive compared to other disease surveillance systems, cutbacks in public health funding in recent years forced termination of real-time monitoring.
"Public health agencies -- supported by academic research and evaluation -- should move ahead with testing available, novel real-time disease surveillance systems so as to be able to recognize not only bioterrorism threats, but to respond much more quickly to the naturally-occurring infectious diseases that we are certain to encounter," Zelicoff says.

Sentencing awaits woman who left baby to freeze
A sentencing hearing began Friday for a northern Illinois woman who admitted leaving a newborn daughter to freeze to death along a rural roadway in 2004.
Katie Stockton, 32, faces up to 60 years in prison for the death of the infant, who became known as Baby Crystal around the Rock River Valley after her frozen remains were found.
Winnebago County Judge John Truitt said he would allow testimony about skeletal remains of two other infants found years later in the trunk of Stockton's car, the Rockford Register Star reported ( https://tinyurl.com/d8dzy9p ). That testimony wouldn't have been allowed at trial, but Stockton pleaded guilty in February to first-degree murder in the death of Baby Crystal.
Stockton hid her pregnancy and gave birth to the baby in secret on Dec. 17, 2004. Afterward, she stuffed the baby and soiled clothing into an orange shopping bag and placed it along a dead-end road near her parents' Rockton home.
She was questioned in the baby's death at the time, but denied she was the mother and refused to provide a DNA sample.
Detectives investigating the death years later collected evidence from a cigarette butt they saw Stockton discard, and authorities said saliva on the cigarette butt matched blood found on the clothing with Baby Crystal. Stockton was arrested in 2009 after further tests showed she was the baby's mother with a 99.96 percent certainty.
After her arrest, investigators discovered her car had been sitting in an impound lot for a year and searched it for more clues. That's when they found the skeletal remains of two other infants wrapped in cloth and stuffed in separate plastic bags and buried beneath a spare tire, chain saw and tire iron.
Forensic pathologists could not determine how the infant girls found in the trunk died or whether they were born alive. No charges have been filed in connection with those remains.

Imagine settling into your seat at the movie theatre, popcorn in hand, when you look beside you and there sits Katy Perry.
Yes, that Katy Perry.
Sound like a dream? For one theatre full of U.K. fans – this was reality.
The 25-year-old singer recently caused a stir when she showed up at a London screening of her new 3D film "Katy Perry: Part of Me."
The star scooped popcorn, posed for photos and even donned her own pair of 3D glasses to catch a glimpse of the show.

Sideline is the exclusive autograph source for Marian Hossa, Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook, Leonard Floyd, and many more. We do most of our signings directly with the athletes themselves. If we don't do the signing directly with the athlete, we only purchase merchandise from officially licensed and authorized dealers or the player agent.
