Did Kirstie Alley Lose the Battle of the Bulge?
If we had a little less enthusiasm about quick fix diet magic and more commitment to eating better and being more active, the public health would benefit enormously," said Dr. David Katz, a nutrition expert at Yale University in New Haven, Conn. "Maybe Kirstie Alley will have that effect, maybe it will slowly sink through to people that these quick fix diets are not the answer." .
QCs warn Scots justice in crisis
I suspect the more immediate problem, for New Labour, will be a possible change in administration and that could well bring about just such a public enquiry, regardless of the best efforts of New Labour to prevent it at all costs. Watch this space: www.nhsfirst.org.uk .
In Season: Strawberries
At first blush, this might look like it's a week late. But last week, growers and retailers were sweating strawberries up until the last minute: Too much rain threatened to ruin at least part of the crop. As it turned out, not only were strawberries plentiful for Valentine's Day, but the rains let up and those berries signaled the start of a good spring season. .

Cuban TV to 'reflect' on Castro's rule
The letter was printed on the entire front page of Tuesday's Granma and was read on Cuban radio and television on Tuesday. But the Cuban airwaves continued with regularly scheduled programming and reported other news as usual. The Round Table program closed Tuesday's show with an editorial noting that ''10 imperialistic administrations have tried to defeat him, block him, assassinate him.'' The editorial was reprinted in Wednesday's edition of Granma. ''Each one of us got the news with a personal burden of emotions,'' it added. 'One way or the other, each his own way, we've all received the news with a mixture of sadness and pride, because Fidel, our Fidel, leaves his historic position and tells us without drama that `it would be a betrayal to my conscience to accept a responsibility requiring more mobility and dedication than I am physically able to offer,' the editorial said.
Presidental hopefuls exposed by Christmas ads
The advert caused controversy because the bookshelf illuminated in the background forms the shape of a floating cross and Huckabee was accused of sending a subliminal message about his Christian credentials. Polls suggest the furore has not done him any harm with evangelical voters. John McCain also used the cross as a central image of his Christmas message, describing how his captors drew the symbol in the sand during one of the five Christmases he spent in a Vietnamese PoW camp. Mr Huckabee's chief rival Rudy Giuliani responded with a spot in which, dressed seasonally in red, he offered voters the gift of "a safe America, lower taxes, secure borders" and "probably a fruitcake" — a curious piece of word association when Mr Giuliani is dogged by claims that he was a somewhat erratic mayor of New York.
That's the Rocket's story and he's sticking to it
Rush to your nearest bookstore and buy "The Peach Bikini Nanny," the latest in my Jimmy Hardball detective series. -- What happened in that congressional committee hearing is that Roger Clemens mistruthified. -- Clemens was treated favorably by the committee, generally speaking, but they shot down his request to open the hearing by having country-music group Alabama sing, "I'm guilty as a man can be, I'm guilty of love in the first degree." -- What's scary is that Clemens seems to be absolutely basking in all this. I picture him on the morning of the big hearing, knotting his tie and winking at the mirror. -- In the days before the hearing, Clemens had 24 separate drop-in chit-chats with congresspeople! That's a lot of autographs, but a couple B-12 shots and the Rocket was good to go.
