...carb, high protein - there's a diet plan of every flavor. And if you're one of the millions of Americans who struggle with weight, you've probably tried them all, likely with little success. That wouldn't surprise Dr. Frank Sacks, a professor at the Harvard School of Public Health and lead author of a new study published in the Feb. 26 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, whose findings confirm what a growing body of weight-loss evidence has already suggested: one diet is no better than the next when it comes to weight loss...
...with a sunset stroll along the promenade on the Pacific to see Panama both old (Las Bovedas, a 17th century Spanish fort) and new (Frank Gehry's Museum of Biodiversity, which is still under construction but rising rapidly) before heading to the recently opened Pony Club (www.limoncillo.com) for dinner. Panamanian chef Clara Icaza has worked at Manhattan hot spot Aquavit, and her nuevo-Panamanian menu includes signature dishes such as Turkolimano (grilled jumbo prawns, tomato and feta with lemon-ouzo vinaigrette) and squid risotto in a broth of octopus and roasted red pepper, all served in a pale-wood dining...
British designer Frank Andrew and his Swiss-born wife Ariane bought the farm and hamlet as a ruin in 2003.

Lewis the solo movie star quickly found a comedy mentor: Frank Tashlin, whom Jer will surely thank tonight. A writer-director who had worked on some of the best wartime Warner Bros. animated shorts, Tashlin made his mark in feature films by turning such pliable stars as Bob Hope and Jayne Mansfield into, essentially, cartoon characters. Lewis, already rubberized, was the ideal clay for Tashlin to mold, stretch and cheerfully mutilate; he directed two Martin-and-Lewis comedies, six more just with Jer, Geisha Boy and Cinderfella being the ones fizziest with anarchic ideas...
...most recent European move to woo Iraq came this week when German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier made a surprise visit to Baghdad. In addition to discussing diplomatic issues, Steinmeier made it clear that restoring the bustling business that Germany Inc. was doing in Iraq before the war is a key priority for Berlin. "Germany wants to assist Iraq in reconstruction," declared Steinmeier, who was accompanied by a delegation of German business leaders. "My visit demonstrates that we want to support this new Iraq on the path of democratic consolidation." (See pictures of Basra bouncing back...
