The event is open to the public with the opportunity to meet Nelson\u2019s parents and loved ones, as well as people who have given countless number of volunteer hours to make this a success.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NASCAR’s most popular driver won the Daytona 500 for the second time, a decade after his first victory in the “Great American Race.” Earnhardt also snapped a 55-race winless streak that dated to 2012.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Earnhardt led for 54 laps and finished 0.092 seconds ahead of Denny Hamlin. Brad Keselowski was third, followed by Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson.

In world and national news…<\/p>\n

\u00a0SEVASTOPOL, Ukraine (AP) – While the leadership crisis and violent clashes between police and government opponents have dominated the headlines, Ukraine also faces a financial crisis. The acting finance minister says the country needs $35 billion to finance government needs this year and next and expressed hope that Europe or the United States would help. Meanwhile an arrest warrant is out for President Viktor Yanukovych (yah-noo-KOH’-vich), who remains elusive after leaving Kiev over the weekend.<\/p>\n

The officials say it’s not clear whether the killing was from militant infighting, Pakistani security forces, or someone after a $95,000 bounty.

In its original form, the bill called for the death penalty for some homosexual acts. That penalty was removed following an international outcry. Some sections do provide for life in prison.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NEW ORLEANS (AP) – The Mardi Gras parade season was marred yesterday by a pair of injuries. Officials say two men were injured falling from floats, despite a city ordinance requiring riders to wear a safety belt or harness.
