...business of scouting for and developing artists - Hands's plan to make it more central to EMI seems sensible. But it's also obvious. And by trailing something you'd expect to already be an aim of record companies everywhere, Hands has drawn suspicion. "Here's a business person trying to turn [EMI] into a more creative company," says Dave Allen, bass player with British post-punk band Gang of Four, a former EMI charge. "In my mind, it's smoke and mirrors...

...good news is that these blood-sugar spikes and crashes are easy to regulate. Blood sugar will rise and fall quickly if, for example, a person eats an easily digested meal of only white bread. Eat some vinegar with the bread, however, and the impact is dampened: The vinegar slows digestion, helping to keep blood-sugar levels more even. The same thing happens if a person takes his bread with nuts or with a glass of wine. (The dampening effect of alcohol reverses after more than a couple units, which may help to explain why moderate drinking, but not heavy...

Regardless of its benefits, healthy food can leave you feeling unsatisfied if you're used to eating junk. Junk food distorts a person's hormonal profile, says O'Keefe. Note, for example, the previously mentioned drop in insulin that leaves a person hungry not long after eating a heavy meal.

...HFPA found inventively silly ways to honor celebrities who might never grace an Academy Award stage. Guy Madison was named Best Western Star (for acting in horse operas, not visiting the hotel chain). A category called World Film Favorite could be roughly translated as: a famous person who'll come to our party. Early winners here included Marilyn Monroe, Kim Novak and swimming star Esther Williams. In 1956 Williams received a second honored: the Hollywood Citizenship Award. (Only two of these were handed out, Ronald Reagan winning the other one.) Zsa Zsa Gabor was named Most Glamorous Actress...

...money is everywhere here. And while it may seem like simple excess, there is a larger, more interesting point behind the fact that at Bush's stop last Sunday in Abu Dhabi the press lunch consisted of a dozen or so lavish dishes delivered sequentially on a 30-person service of monogrammed, gilt Limoges china. (The meal was delicious, thank you, but surprisingly none of the dishes was as good as the goat's brains from the buffet laid out by the palace of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum of Dubai on Monday). Back to the interesting part: amid...
