DDR (aka Dance Dance Revolution) is the centre of a study on fighting child obesity. Of course, this is no normal video game, you actually dance on a plastic mat hooked up to a game console. Halo 2 may not have the same weight loss characteristics.

Rabbi backs India's 'lost Jews'
The BBC reports that Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar has informed members of north-east India's Bnei Manashe community that they are indeed decendents of one of the 10 lost tribes exiled from Israel in the 8th Century BCE. The community will now be formally converted to Orthodox Judaism and allowed immigration to Israel.
