...shortly before its Jan. 2 Alamo Bowl game against Michigan State, Texas Tech has fired head coach Mike Leach for allegedly mistreating a player who received a concussion diagnosis. According to reports, Leach ordered that Adam James, son of former NFL player and current ESPN analyst Craig James, be sequestered in an equipment shed and electrical closet during Texas Tech practices in mid-December as punishment for allegedly faking the concussion...

If so, their plan may be to sow bicentennial terror and turn Mexicans against President Felipe Calderón's drug-war offensive. This past fall authorities say they seized an arsenal of large...
...been two weeks since Silvio Berlusconi has shown his face in public, as he recovers from a brutal attack by a deranged man at a political rally in Milan. The prime minister says we won't see him again until Jan. 7. That would mark the longest period Berlusconi has kept himself out of the public eye since his winter hibernation six years ago, from which he emerged smiling tightly, as the first sitting world leader to ever admit to a facelift...
