...studies, How Sex Works often feels like a retread of an uncomfortable high school sex-ed class minus the acne. Here's a description of how menstruation works, there's a step by step description of how a man gets an erection; here's the reason why women have wide hips, there's a look at why testicles hang dangerously outside the body. Nothing we don't already know...
...Audiences ignored the weekend's other wide debut, Battle for Terra, an animated space epic in 3D that made just $1.1 million and didn't crack the top 10. That could be because another 3D science-fantasy cartoon, Monsters vs Aliens, was still raking in the bucks; it finished a sturdy fifth. DreamWorks' 3D comedy has been in release two weeks longer than any other film in the top 10, lost more theaters this weekend, yet suffered the lowest drop in attendance of all the holdovers. Even the Supreme Court, with or without David Souter, would be unanimous in finding...
...Laughing about the crisis does help and there has been some online discussions focused on whether officials may have over-reacted.

They call for the demolition of what's been dubbed the "invisible wall" between Paris and its surrounding suburbs - including those that contain the blighted housing projects whose residents ignited the nation-wide rioting of 2005. Under the plan, construction and business development will broaden economic and cultural activity from its current focus on the 1,130 sq. ft. (105 sq m) intra-muros Paris and its population of two million, and extend that to the 12 million-strong inhabitants of the surrounding...
...Taliban has a wide-range of propaganda weapons, spanning high and low technology. Since mid-2005, the militants have maintained a multilingual website that has repeatedly changed service providers to avoid being shut down. On April 9, The Washington Post reported that, for more than a year, a Houston-based firm had unwittingly hosted a site claiming to be the voice of the "Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan" (the name of Mullah Omar's regime, deposed by the 2001 U.S. invasion) before it was identified as such. It was updated with official messages and battlefield reports that were clearly and incredulous...
