Once again, there is a young man missing in La Crosse. My heart just aches as I read the comments on Facebook from friends and loved ones who are worried to death about Craig Meyers. Here are the details: Area law enforcement are searching for a 21-year-old La Crosse man last seen about 2 a.m. today on city's South Side. Craig Meyers was dropped off by a family member on the 700 block of Market Street after a reception. Meyers is described is 5-foot 6-inches, 165 pounds with brown hair and hazel eyes. He was last seen wearing a collared shirt, black pants and black jacket. Anyone with information is asked to call the La Crosse Police Department: 785-5962. Let's all pray for his safe return.=

Jamie McMurray won Sunday's 52nd running of the Daytona 500. McMurray held off a charging Dale Earnhardt, Jr. to capture his first win in the "Great American Race" and the fourth of his Sprint Cup career. The race was stopped twice due to a pothole between turns one and two. The first delay lasted more than an hour and 40 minutes after the holes were discovered 122 laps into the race. The holes resurfaced 40 laps later. The race lasted more than six hours. Greg Biffle, Clint Bowyer and David Reutimann rounded out the top five. The Sprint Cup Series now heads to Fontana, California, for the Auto Club 500 next Sunday.

The lead singer for The Knack has died. The "L.A. Times" reports Doug Fieger passed away Sunday from cancer at his Woodland Hills home. He was 57. The Los Angeles-based band captured the nation with their 1979 number-one hit "My Sharona," which Fieger claimed was inspired by an ex-girlfriend. The Knack signed with Capitol Records in 1978 after they were discovered on the L.A. club scene. The following year, their debut album "Get the Knack" was released. The album spawned another hit, "Good Girls Don't." The Detroit native had been battling cancer for several years. Funeral services are pending.

We Are The World took the world by storm originally 25 years ago and since then there has been a couple of tries to remake it. In the wake of the Haiti earthquake and massive destruction that took place there, artists joined together once again singing this iconic song for the benefit of the Haitian peoples plight. There are some old faces who joined in and many new stars as well. The main return is that of Lionel Richie who was the co-writer of the song along side Micheal Jackson. Many fans will be happy to see they slotted Micheal in as well by putting in a clip from the original song where he sung and have Janet Jackson sing along. The official music video was premiered during the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics on Friday. Here's a complete list of performers and the music video.
