...lower stroke risk. The bad news: average fruit and vegetable consumption in developed countries is three servings a day. EAT YOUR BROCCOLI Former U.S. President George Bush famously snubbed the sprouting stalk, but scientists in Washington just love it. It has long been suggested that there is a link between cancer prevention and soy and broccoli - plus other cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower. Now investigators think they know the reason: a laboratory test found that chemicals in these foods can increase the levels of proteins that repair damaged DNA and so lower the risk of developing breast and prostate cancer...
...Page at student orientation a year earlier, joined the project early on. Their breakthrough, simply put, was that when their search engine crawled the Web, it did more than just look for word matches; it also tallied and ranked a host of other critical factors like how websites link to one another. That delivered far better results than anything else. Brin and Page meant to name their creation Googol (the mathematical term for the number 1 followed by 100 zeroes), but someone misspelled the word so it stuck as Google.

Here's how the system works. If you're a company selling sneakers, you can bid to have a link to your website appear in the sponsored area whenever someone does a Google search for, say, tennis or Michael Jordan or sneakers or all of those and more.

Google's technology, known as AdSense, can instantly analyze the text of any site and deliver relevant ads to it. Your sneaker company could place ads on tennis-information sites that participate in the Google network. Brin and Page signed up thousands and thousands of clients before their competitors knew what was happening. Now Google plans to apply the model in other media, and it just bought dMarc Broadcasting, whose automated systems connect advertisers...
Ironically, these painterly qualities were probably the least original dimensions of Stella’s 1958 work. They were the main link between his painting and the abstract expressionism that immediately preceded it, and presumably it was Stella’s desire for true originality that let him to the reductive rigidity of the black paintings...
