Knight's temper flares in Texas Tech win LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - As Bob Knight moved one win closer to catching Dean Smith, his temper flared once again, when he used his hand to push a player's chin during a timeout, as if to make him look the coach in the eye. http://msn.foxsports.com/cbk/story/6169206?FSO1&ATT=HMA

Plutonium found in Iran waste facility
1 hour, 3 minutes ago
International Atomic Energy experts have found unexplained plutonium and highly enriched uranium traces in a nuclear waste facility in Iran and have asked Tehran for an explanation, an IAEA report said Tuesday.
The report, prepared for next week's meeting of the 35-nation IAEA, also faulted Tehran for not cooperating with the agency's attempts to investigate suspicious aspects of Iran's nuclear program that have lead to fears it might be interested in developing nuclear arms.
And it said it could not confirm Iranian claims that its nuclear activities were exclusively nonmilitary unless Tehran increased its openness.

College frat boys in "Borat" movie sue filmmakers
By Steve GormanFri Nov 10, 8:14 PM ET
Two of the college fraternity brothers shown guzzling alcohol and making racist remarks in the "Borat" movie have sued the studio and producers for fraud, saying filmmakers duped them into appearing in the movie by getting them drunk.
In a lawsuit filed on Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, plaintiffs named as John Doe 1 and John Doe 2, both from South Carolina, agreed to appear in the film after producers promised it would never be shown in the United States.
The movie, "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan," debuted last weekend as the No. 1 film in North America, grossing more than $26 million in domestic ticket sales.
