Death by curse: The mystery of voodoo death in 20th century mind-body medicine - STAR SCIENCE By Angela Simmen

In recent history, the healing powers of the mind-body connection in medicine have become increasingly renowned.

Cafes yet to follow guidelines to combat cyber crime in Siliguri

SILIGURI, Aug.24: Days after three children were injured in an improvised explosive device (IED) blast at Shantipara in Siliguri, weeks after the Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) raided a flat in Navi Mumbai after tracing the IP address of the persons who sent a threat e-mail minutes before the Ahmedabad blasts, and months after the police in Ghaziabad detained the owner of a cyber cafe from where an email claiming responsibility for the Jaipur blasts was sent, the authorities in Siliguri have not acted promptly.

Orchestra Baobab

This 2007 release from Senegal's Orchestra Baobab comes a pretty fair stretch after their 2002 comeback, Specialist in All Styles. You can consider Made in Dakar a continuation of that comeback or a comeback all on its own. Either way, it's top notch. This band has vocal and instrumental chops even sharper than in their original heyday, with guitarist Barthelemy Attisso particularly spot on: check his perfect interplay with sax players Issa Cissoko and Thierno Koite and winding, slinky solos throughout. The West African/Latin connections are as strong as ever, both in the re-worked old songs and fresh compositions.

No, it's a work of art

They say 'films are a reflection of society'. Whatever happens in society is mirrored in films. Many a times directors, filmmakers and scriptwriters get inspired by various unusual happenings in real life. Although in theory there is a possibility of a reverse happening and that a common man might get inspired or motivated by a certain movie or the character of a movie, in practice this rarely happens. Ever since the ghastly terror blasts in Bangalore and Ahmedabad it is being alleged that they were loosely based on Ram Gopal Varma's movie Contract. That the terrorist masterminds carried out their slaughter of unsuspecting innocent people after being inspired by a scene at the end of the film in which the villain plans to plant bombs in hospitals, much like the one in Ahmedabad.

Rogers holds firm for Derbyshire

New Derbyshire captain Chris Rogers led from the front to build a steady reply against Middlesex at Derby. The match has benefited from a window in the wet weather and continues to be interestingly poised with Derbyshire on 128 for 3. Middlesex collected three batting points before Murali Kartik made inroads into the home side by removing Dan Birch, bowled trying to drive, and Wavell Hinds lbw pushing forward in the same over. But Rogers steadied the innings alongside Greg Smith although he was given a life on 27 when Ed Joyce dropped a catch in the gully. Plenty of Middlesex batsmen made starts, but it needed Kartik's unbeaten 33 to lift them over 300. Hinds claimed two quick wickets to stunt the middle order, removing Gareth Berg to a poor pull shot then having Dawid Malan caught at mid-on.

Circuit City pummelled after Blockbuster's retreat

Circuit City Stores Inc. plummeted to historic lows yesterday after Blockbuster Inc. withdrew its takeover bid, causing investors to question the consumer electronics retailer's future. Shares of the Richmond, Va.-based company fell 40 cents, or 15.7 per cent, to $2.17 (U.S.) in trading on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday, after earlier hitting a more than 17-year-low of $2.10. The company, which has lost 86 per cent of its stock value from its 52-week high of $15.33, says it will continue to review strategic alternatives. Blockbuster pulled its bid to buy Circuit City on Tuesday night, citing market conditions.
