the Supreme Court


Supporting the hypothesis that size matters, Brody and his
colleagues found the women who reported the highest number of
vaginal orgasms in the past month were most likely to say
that longer was better.
"This might be due at least in part to greater ability of a
longer penis to stimulate the entire length of the vagina,
and the cervix," Brody said.
The data supports Brody's claim, Whipple said, but the sample
is limited to Scottish university students and should be
replicated with a broader group. Nevertheless, she warned
against worrying about the findings in bed.
Visitors to the state this Dasara season have reasons to
rejoice. The three famed tiger reserves near Mysore are
opening to tourists starting Thursday.
A day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on tourism in
tiger reserves, foresters on Wednesday decided to open
Bandipur, Nagarahole and BRT tiger reserves. "We're opening
the tiger reserves to tourists operating safaris. The
reservations will also open for tourist facilities in these
tiger reserves," additional principal chief conservator of
forests (APCCF) B J Hosamath.
However, the forest department will not increase the areas
where tourists are allowed. Both at Nagarahole and Bandipur,
the total area where tourists are allowed is under 10 per
cent of the tiger reserves while it is 14 per cent at BRT.
A new theory put forward by Harvard scientists suggests the
moon was once part of the earth that spun off after a giant
collision with another body.
In a paper published on Wednesday in the journal Science,
Sarah Stewart and Matija uk said their theory would explain
why the earth and moon have similar composition and
chemistry.

cruise missile, Pillai said it would give a significant boost
to the country's defence capabilities.

test flight in 2017.
"The BrahMos- 2 programme has started with its design and
basic technology development is currently underway," he said.

deliver the warhead, assess the destruction of the target and
come back and get ready to go again.

Disputes between the democracies

The global divisions between the club of autocrats and the axis of democracy have broad implications for the international system. Is it possible any longer to speak of an "international community"? The term implies agreement on international norms of behavior, an international morality, even an international conscience. But today the world's major powers lack such a common understanding. On the large strategic questions, such as whether to intervene or to impose sanctions or to attempt to isolate nations diplomatically, there is no longer an international community to be summoned or led. This was exposed most blatantly in the war over Kosovo, which divided the democratic West from both Russia and China, and from many other nonEuropean autocracies. Today it is apparent on the issues of Darfur, Iran, and Burma.
One would imagine that on such transnational issues as disease, poverty, and climate change the great powers ought to be able to work together despite their diverging interests and worldviews. But even here their differences complicate matters. Disputes between the democracies and China over how and whether to condition aid to poor countries in Africa affect the struggle against poverty. Geopolitical calculations affect international negotiations over the best response to climate change. The Chinese, along with the Indians, believe the advanced industrial nations of the West,
