...Using the Hitwise database of U.S. Internet searches, I've amassed the most popular 10,000 search queries that contain the term "free." When compared to all Internet searches, terms that contain "free" are by far the most popular. For the week ending June 16, 2006, over 3.9% of all searches in the U.S. contained the term "free." The hunt for cost-free products and services ranged from "free games" (at 0.73%, the most popular of all "free" queries) and "free music" (0.70%) to searches for free ringtones, credit reports and myspace layouts. But by far the most searched...
...reasons that food costs more are simple: most of what we eat is shipped great distances, and gas is spectacularly expensive. Also, demand for ethanol has caused the price of corn to spike, and thousands of processed foods contain derivatives like high-fructose corn syrup. Finally, millions of pounds of citrus froze in California this year; oranges cost nearly a third more in May than they did in May 2006.

To them, you had two systems that would go on forever; peaceful coexistence was the objective. Reagan assumed change was possible and I thought so too. Your mindset makes...
...never occurred to the generals that Chaudhry would say no," says Ahsan. "So when he did, they had no plan B." What transpired instead was an increasingly ham-fisted attempt to contain the subsequent public outrage by cracking down on media coverage of the ongoing crisis. On Thursday, the Pakistan Media Regulatory Authority banned live talk shows. On Friday it banned any live coverage of the Chief Justice's rally the next day in Abbottabad. On Saturday authorities sent letters to cable companies telling them not to air programs that encourage an "anti-state attitude" or that contain "aspersions against...
...required ships to stay anchored before landing to prevent the spread of the Black Death in the 14th century. Since 2002 the government has claimed broad powers to isolate anyone who poses a public-health threat--including those who may have been exposed but aren't yet sick--to contain a flu pandemic or a bioterrorist attack. Various states are flexing their muscles; authorities in Arizona have locked up a TB patient because he refused to wear a mask when he went outside. In New York, patients who refuse to take their meds--an action that can promote drug-resistant...
