NASCAR driver Jeremy Mayfield tested positive for methamphetamine for the second time and lawyers for the racing series argued the driver should have his ban reinstated, according to a motion filed in federal court Wednesday.

According to court documents filed by NASCAR Wednesday, Jeremy Mayfield tested positive for methamphetamine in a random drug test administered last week by the sanctioning body, the Associated Press is reporting.

The positive result from a July 6 random test was included in a U.S. District Court filing Wednesday that asked the federal judge who lifted Mayfield’s drug suspension to reinstate the ban. The filing included an affidavit from Mayfield’s stepmother, Lisa, who said she witnessed the driver using methamphetamine at least 30 times over seven years.It was also reported that NASCAR’s filing said that the “A” sample levels from the July 6 test showed levels of methamphetamine consistent with a habitual, high dose user.

“Between 1998 and 2005, I am personally aware that Jeremy used methamphetamines often,” she said in her affidavit. “I was concerned about his heavy use and talked to his father about it. I saw Jeremy use methamphetamine by snorting it up his nose at least 30 times during the 7 years I was around him. Jeremy used methamphetamine not only in my presence, but also when we were both in the presence of others.”

On May 8 NASCAR announced Mayfield had been indefinitely suspended from racing for failing a drug test, though it wasn’t until a little over two weeks ago that NASCAR confirmed methamphetamine was the drug Mayfield had tested positive for in a random test administered on May 1.

Mayfield contested his stepmother’s account.

“I don’t trust anything NASCAR does, anything Dr. David Black does, never have, never will,” Mayfield told The Associated Press in a phone interview. Black is the administrator for NASCAR’s drug-testing program.

“And they picked the wrong woman to use against me because that (expletive) is trash and has got nothing on me but lies.”

Mayfield was the first driver suspended under NASCAR’s new stringent testing policies put in place for the 2009 season. The new policy made pre-season testing mandatory for drivers, crew members and series officials and also allowed for random testing during the season. NASCAR’s former drug policy was based on testing of individuals based on suspicion.

Mayfield, 39, has made five starts this season in the Sprint Cup Series for a team that he began prior to the season opening Daytona 500. His best finish of the season, 32nd, came at Talladega Superspeedway on April 26. Mayfield hasn’t driven full-time in the Sprint Cup Series since 2005. The Owensboro, Ky. native, made his Sprint Cup Series debut in 1993 and has made 433 starts in the division. He has five career Sprint Cup Series victories – the last coming in 2005 – along with 48 top-5 finishes and 96 top-10’s. He was released from his ride with what was then Evernham Motorsports in Aug. 2006. He made 25 starts over the last two seasons for various teams.

While he hasn’t given his employers an official notice, 35-year-old Baltimore Ravens receiver Derrick Mason says he’s going to retire after 12 seasons in the National Football League.

Mason’s retirement is still unofficial, Ravens senior vice president of public and community relations Kevin Byrne told BaltimoreRavens.com, saying that Mason has yet to file the necessary paperwork with the NFL.

This comes as somewhat of a surprise, especially because Derrick’s decision was based more on (lack of) desire than any kind of contractual squabble.

Derrick’s agent, C. Lamont Smith, released the following statement today:

“On Friday July 10, I received a call from my client Derrick Mason and he advised me that after careful and deep thought he had made a decision to retire from professional football. He indicated that he did not want me to continue to seek a contract extension from the Baltimore Ravens and that his decision had little if anything to do with Baltimore’s refusal to grant him an extension. He stated that emotionally and physically he did not feel up to the enormous demands that professional football requires to compete at the level that he is accustomed to competing. He asked me to delay the announcement of this decision out of respect for his former teammate Steve McNair, so we obviously complied with his request. After speaking with Derrick, I telephoned Ozzie Newsome, the Ravens’ general manager and advised him of Derrick’s decision. Given that Derrick just reached this decision on Friday, he has not as of yet filed official papers with the league offices. We expect that he will do this when he gets around to it. Derrick has indicated that he does not wish to do interviews at this time and respectfully requests that the media refrain from making such requests of him for the next two weeks.”

However,The Baltimore Ravens have refused to confirm a story  that receiver Derrick Mason has decided to retire.

“For any player to retire, he has to send a letter to the NFL stating this,” Ravens spokesman Kevin Byrne said in a statement. “Derrick Mason has not done that.”

A 13-year veteran of the NFL, Mason played much of the 2008 season with a painful shoulder injury, one that required offseason surgery, and was still struggling to recover during Baltimore’s workouts in early June. At the time, Mason indicated that he may not be ready for the start of training camp.

Mason  was a speaker at the memorial service for his friend Steve McNair last week.

Obama checking out girl. Look at that, Obama did it. Obama checking out girl because Michelle is not hot enough?

A photo taken of Obama appears to show him checking out a girl’s butt. France’s President Nicolas Sarkozy appears to be smirking in the picture. The photo of Obama checking out a girl looks bad, but things are not always what they seem.

Fox news anchor Greta Van Susteren looked at the video from when the photo was taken. According to Greta, Obama is not checking out the girls butt as the picture leads us to believe.

The girl reportedly is Mayora Tavares from Brazil. She is the girl who represented Brazil at the Junior 8, a group of 54 young people from the G8 countries.

She is 16 and lives in the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She inherited from her grandmother and father a passion to take part in community action and social movements and has been an activist in her community fighting for children and adolescent rights.

Michael Jackson memorial draws huge numbers of people especially fans of the king of pop. Around the world, fans and people watched the Michael Jackson memorial unfold live on movie screens, televisions, computers and mobile phones. They dont wont to miss this history of the biggest funeral this decade.

Michael Jackson’s Memorial Service, which will be six hours long, will take place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles at 1 p.m., Eastern Time today (July 7). The event will be covered worldwide so the fans, who can’t be there, will be able to follow everything via several live feeds online.

A huge online audience, many watching from PCs at work where TV wasn’t available, streamed the event live. That taxed the Internet’s overall performance and slowed some sites, according to Keynote Systems, a website monitoring firm.

The ripples were felt nationwide. It took Talia Andrews, a public relations representative in New York, up to a minute to change Web pages. “It shows how an event can really reshape the way we use the Internet.”

“Today fans in  Tokyo, beneath the Eiffel Tower, in Blabak Kota, in Ghana’s Black Star Square. In Johannesburg and Pittsburgh; in Birmingham, Alabama, in  Jakarta; and Birmingham, England. We are missing Michael.”

Organizers of the Jackson memorial funeral service told broadcasters that Staples will not offer a VIP red carpet line and that dignitaries and celebs will not have a chance to be interviewed.
