Water radiation spurs leakage fears: Authorities in Japan raised the prospect Friday of a likely breach in the all-important containment vessel of the No. 3 reactor at the stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, a potentially ominous development in the race to prevent a large-scale release of radiation.

Kirstie Alley slams George Lopez for pig joke: "Dancing With the Stars" contestant Kirstie Alley is putting her foot down and blasting comedian George Lopez for comparing her to a pig on his talk show, reports Entertainment Weekly.

Docs operate without anesthesia at hospital: For days, the wounded just kept coming to the 60-bed central hospital in Misrata, a city under siege from forces loyal to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi. But there were no empty beds, no electricity - only generator power. No anesthesia or painkillers.

Christian to Muslim - A change of faith: The actual conversion was brief. It only involved one sentence: “I bear witness that there is no God worthy of worship but God, I bear witness that Mohammed is the messenger of God.” For 30-year-old Mathew Miller, those words represented the culmination of a long religious transformation from Christianity to Islam.

    Most of the negativity could be avoided if people would just sit home and read the good book. The definition of crazy is doing the same things over and over again expecting different results. Go figure...

      I agree. "The Electric Kool-ade Acid Test" by Tom Wolfe is a good book. So is "The Book- on the taboo against kbowing who you are" by Alan Watts. Read them. Forget about the thing written by Roman Emperor Constantine. Just a bunch of trash slapped together to control people. Use your brain, not your fear and gullibility.

    I'm half awake but I do remember when I first saw her on Star Trek , omg I thought how Unique looking she is in a beautiful way. Dont worry Herbert she'll lose the weight quick, she's one of the new cast on dancing with the stars. @ Ruffnutt , dude you need to be careful about criticizing others it may come back to haunt u , i should know.

    @ herbert.. the only reason she doesnt look 60 years old is because she is so full of fat there is no room for wrinkles..
