The 6-foot, 170-pound KSU backup quarterback and Pensacola native was killed just...

    Just heard on Foxnews that actor Robert Conrad (Wild Wild West, Baa Baa Black Sheep, Will (G. Gordon Liddy story)) was scheduled to be arraigned on the 6th on felony drunk driving charges related to an auto accident where the other driver was severly injured. That arraignment has been postponed, according to his wife, because he is still partially paralyzed from the accident. He played G. Gordon Liddy in the TV Movie from his autobiography, and has apparently kept in touch. He also starred in one of my favorite TV shows from my childhood, Wild Wild West. I loved his...

    A late-night disagreement between two men in a bar becomes a stare-down. One side throws fists, and a brief brawl breaks out. Customers scatter. Tables are overturned. Friends on the sidelines straighten their postures and walk tough. Others grab their coats and head for the door. Some physical commotion is not uncommon at evening establishments where alcohol is served. But it's what happened next on Thursday evening inside the Route 66 Kitchen in West Toledo that has unsettled some Toledoans. With surveillance cameras rolling, several figures pulled out handguns and engaged in a shootout that raged inside and outside the...

    PARIS — The French have always found American elections amusing, in a horror movie sort of way. They grumpily regard the American president as in some unfortunate sense also their own, but they see the campaign through their own cultural lens.They value sophistication above almost anything, and so they regard their own hyperactive president, Nicolas Sarkozy, with his messy romantic life and model-singer wife, as “Sarko the American.”But this year has been difficult for the French. Mr. Sarkozy has generally supported American foreign policy and has praised the United States’ openness and entrepreneurial verve. And the sudden emergence of Senator...

    More than 60 bison are roaming about 10,000 acres in the Bryson Hesperia area on the southern edge of Monterey County, after breaking loose from a truck last week. Members of the Chumash Indian tribe were transporting the bison from South Dakota to a wilderness preserve on Bryson Hesperia Road northwest of Lake Nacimiento. The truck they were traveling in got stuck in the mud. After trying to lighten the truck by letting some bison off, the entire herd let loose. So far, six have been corralled and at least two shot, said Maiwo Agdeppa, who was helping transport the...

    "Never, ever leave home without it." No, not your American Express card, your sidearm.This morning, I woke up about 4:15 and was hungry, so I decided to drive to the local 24-hour beanery. The only other customers were a table of 10, intoxicated 20-somethings making alot of noise.There were 7 muscular young men and three loud-mouthed young women. After listening to their raucous laughter for 10 minutes, I politely asked the waitress to ask them to hold down the noise. All I wanted to do was eat my breakfast in relative peace.Her request for quiet lasted about 45 seconds, then...

    WASHINGTON — Despite criticism from leading Republicans on Capitol Hill, senior Army leaders are defending the filing of criminal charges against a battalion commander in Iraq who fired his pistol near the head of an Iraqi detainee in an attempt to frighten him into divulging information about a planned ambush against U.S. forces.
