...does, it focuses on the content of each page. That may make sense in theory - after all, the most popular restaurants, for example, rarely serve the best food - but it is precisely the model that Google broke away from in order to give users more relevant results. That could explain why a Cuil search on "insomnia" directs the user to the American Insomnia Association rather than to the Wikipedia entry on the subject pulled up first by most other search engines...
...weight range of about 10 lbs. to 20 lbs. that the body tries hard to defend. The further you push you weight beyond your set point - either up or down the scale - some researchers say, the more your body struggles to return to it. That might help to explain why none of the women in Jakicic's study managed to lose much more than 10% of their body weight. After two years on a calorie-restricted diet, keeping up more than an hour of physical activity five days a week on average, most were still clinically overweight (though much less...

...asked to give money for something or hold hands across America, but instead it turned into a weird kind of show-and-tell. A few people gave long presentations, but everyone was given one-minute slots to talk about projects they're working on. Watching liberals try to explain something in one minute might be the best game show I've ever seen. I asked Wyatt Closs, from the Service Employees International Union - who, to my shock, had flown in from Washington just to make a presentation - what purpose this could possibly serve. He said a previous one-minute speech...
