...pilots a World War II minesweeper converted into a seagoing laboratory, also like Cousteau's. But it is no longer the famed Calypso. It is now called the Belafonte (a joke nod to the Caribbean crooner). And though the boat contains a sauna, a hot tub and a purloined cappuccino machine, its wiring goes on the fritz at awkward moments and its submersible has definitely seen better days...
This aromatic spice may be good for more than stirring a hot toddy or sprinkling on a cappuccino. Cinnamon, it turns out, contains a molecule with insulin-like properties that may help people with Type 2 diabetes. A small study in Pakistan showed that 30 patients with diabetes had significantly lower blood levels of glucose, triglycerides and cholesterol after taking cinnamon for 40 days. In a separate study, however, scientists at the University of California at Santa Barbara and the Sansum Medical Research Institute found that not all cinnamon is created equal. While some varieties had no impact, others lowered...

If Hong Kong women didn't know it before, they will...
...afford such extravagances. They're buying cheaper apartments or simply renting. "They don't have the same kind of money," says one real-estate agent. The newcomers tend to stay near the University of Jordan or downtown, where a room for the night costs less than a cappuccino at the Mecca Mall. "A hundred dollars doesn't go far here like it does in Baghdad," says Jamal. That only makes the sight of the former Baathists harder to bear. Few of the new-wave Iraqis would dare confront their former oppressors; most confine their defiance to hostile stares. Sometimes anger...
