...sure like most actors you're all watching the Republican field, just waiting for a candidate to get behind. CLOONEY: I'm just hoping Gingrich gets in. Come on, Newt! Actually there's a really good field out there. I like Barack Obama a lot. I've spent some time with him. PITT: You just cost him votes. CLOONEY: I've actually had that conversation with him, just saying "Look, I'll give you whatever support you need-including staying completely away from you."

Fried, 43, first discovered the island six months ago when the cruise ship he was on docked there for six hours. When he found...
...Agreeing on the final 10%, though, is proving difficult. That's because India insists on its right to reprocess spent fuel and demands access to reprocessing technology. Reprocessing, however, yields plutonium, which can be used both to fuel reactors and for making bombs. Under its "Separation Plan," India says fuel purchased abroad for civilian purposes will not be diverted for military uses, but some in the U.S. fear that accepting India's demand for reprocessing rights and technology will increase its strategic nuclear capabilities...
