The new Magic Trackpad is the first Multi-Touch trackpad designed to work with your Mac desktop computer. It uses the same Multi-Touch technology you love on the MacBook Pro. And it supports a full set of gestures, giving you a whole new way to control and interact with what’s on your screen. Swiping through pages online feels just like flipping through pages in a book or magazine. And inertial scrolling makes moving up and down a page more natural than ever. Magic Trackpad connects to your Mac via Bluetooth wireless technology. Use it in place of a mouse or in conjunction with one on any Mac computer — even a notebook.

Powered by a built-in battery, you’ll need to make sure it remains well juiced if you’re going to use it often. The Apple Magic Trackpad will retail for $69 a pop, and will communicate sans wires thanks to built-in Bluetooth support.

Corruption is rampant in many countries today. No work is possible without chai paani (bribe). Everyone must have experienced this ubiquitous nuisance. KHATTA MEETHA, a remake of the 1989 Malayalam drama film, VELLANAKALUDE NADU (which was again directed by Priyadarshan) is a satire on this perpetual menace. While it was a novel issue back then, it’s been done copious times over the years.

Sachin Tichkule (Akshay Kumar) is a struggling road construction contractor in a small town who has taken loans practically from the entire village. But he still manages to wear sunglasses! Trigun Fatak (Manoj Joshi), Sachin’s brother-in-law, is a corrupt chief engineer who works in the municipality. Suhas Vichare (Milind Gunaji) is a road contractor married to Sachin’s second sister. Anjali (Urvashi Sharma) is Sachin’s college-going sister.

While Sachin struggles through his never-ending woes, things go haywire. A bridge collapses because of bad construction, taking many innocent lives. Figun, Suhas and others who were involved in the construction, conveniently pass the buck to Vishwas Rao (Tinu Anand), who is a driver of the Tichkule family and later kill him. Azad Bhagat (Makrand Despande), who has lost his wife and son in the bridge mishap, is determined to bring to justice the criminals behind the scam.

The common man’s troubles remain the central plot of the film. As if Sachin’s miseries weren’t enough, the new municipal commissioner turns out to be his ex girlfriend Gehna Ganpule (Trisha) who now loathes him.

The successful director-actor jodi of Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar (HERA PHERI, BHOOL BHULAIYAA, DE DANA DAN) fails to entertain this time. Priyadarshan falls short to render the issue of corruption, which Rajkumar Hirani did effectively in portions of LAGE RAHO MUNNABHAI. It has the right intent but offers nothing which we haven’t seen. The screenplay gets monotonous with Sachin Tichkule constantly borrowing money, his numerous tiffs with Gehna, perverted acts of Rangeela (Rajpal Yadav) and random songs.

With an excruciating long running time of 2.40 hours, the film drags. Music by Pritam except for the song Nana Chi Taang, is very poor according to his standards. Only V Manikanandan’s choreography is neat.

Akshay Kumar’s comic timing is impeccable but he is very loud. Trisha, who makes her Hindi film debut, is passable. She looks too young to be a municipal commissioner! Urvashi Sharma is decent. Johny Lever, who is seen after a very long time, is uproarious. Wish we could see more of him. Rajpal Yadav gives a superlative performance. Makrand Despande is effective in his small role. Manoj Joshi is impressive while Kulbhushan Kharbanda is good.

The verdict
No dont go ! please dont waste your money! Please, Inception is running in the next (Now that’s a life saving advice)

Rating – 1.5/5

High zoom point-and-shoot camera that offers good image quality

EVEN : 30x optical zoom, fairly compact design despite the large lens, good image quality, HD video recording

ODDS : Poor layout of controls, no shortcut buttons, cramped navigation dial, no manual settings, standard 4:3 aspect ratio make images look small on the wide screen display

Final Word :

The Olympus SP-800UZ is priced at Rs. 22,900. At that price you get a camera with an absurdly long zoom, good image quality and HD video recording. Unfortunately, the camera fails when it comes to manual control over the camera settings and the menu navigation isn’t particularly intuitive or convenient. If better control is what you desire then you would do better with a cheap DSLR, such as the Canon EOS-1000D. But if all you need is a high zoom camera with basic features and good image quality, then the Olympus SP-800UZ fits the bill.

Acupuncture

One of the first and most effective recourses for people with chronic back pain is acupuncture. “We’ve had great success with acupuncture. It’s great for someone who gets pain that’s situated in the back or neck and is not radiating down the arms and legs so much,” says Cohen, who is a retired tennis pro. “I’ve had it myself, gotten up, and felt 75 percent better.”

Practitioners of Eastern medicine say that acupuncture works by realigning the energy meridians and rebalancing the body. Western doctors don’t really know why there’s a benefit. Still, they find that it can help in many cases. “We don’t have a correlate for that in Western medicine, but it seems to work,” Cohen says. “We just don’t have a Western explanation.”

Massage

Massage could benefit people who want to maintain their back health and who get occasional soreness. Its effects have been studied and explained.

“Massage is not only stretching the muscles and getting out the knots but also manipulating lactic acid and lymphatic draining in [the] body,” Cohen says. “When people are sore, that means a buildup of lactic acid or waste products in the muscles. Massage moves lactic acid faster from the muscles. It’s like fast-forwarding the waste products out of your body to help it heal faster.”

The key, says Bray, is to find a masseuse whom you connect with and trust. “If you have a good masseuse, it’s great,” he says. “If you don’t, they can totally mess it up.”

Chiropractic therapy

Although most people tend to think of a chiropractor as a practitioner who cracks your back while you lie on a table, they also “have a lot of soft tissue treatments,” Cohen says.

Chiropractors can help with back pain and, in a few cases, even pain that radiates into the buttock or leg.

Some borrow techniques from physical therapy, using ultrasound and heat to break the cycles of muscle spasms and trigger points that cause chronic irritation, he says.

And it turns out that the cracking sound that goes along with a visit to the chiropractor is a good thing. Doctors think that it comes from nitrogen bubbles being released in the joints. “That helps rebalance the spine,” Cohen explains.

Pilates and Yoga

One hailing from Germany and the other with roots in Hinduism, Pilates and yoga can help maintain your back and stave off soreness, says Cohen.

“These are techniques that work on body symmetry, muscle strengthening, breathing, coordinating strength, flexibility, coordination in the body, and body symmetry, so you get your body in right alignment, which makes you feel better and more resistant to injury and fatigue,” he explains. “It does make sense.”

“Men and women tend to carry weight on the hips and abdomen because that’s the center of gravity,” Cohen continues. “The concept of Pilates is to strengthen the abdominal muscles and hips — which are like the Grand Central Station of your body — by keeping [them] functioning and flexible. It’s an insurance policy against injury and wear and tear.”

But they are not activities for people with degenerated or herniated disks. “Types of yoga that really focus on flexibility and really stretching the spine may actually be counterproductive to somebody who has degenerative spine changes or has a stress fracture,” says Kostantinos Vasalos, a physical therapist and coordinator of the spine rehabilitation program at the University of Rochester Medical Center.

Strengthening exercises

Activities like sit-ups or crunches are designed to maximize muscle contraction. But strengthening exercises can also be counterproductive and need to be used judiciously.

“You get stronger, but you also get a lot of spinal compression. So if you do these with spine issues, you may compress the spine and increase symptoms,” warns Vasalos.

Aerobic exercise

Like Pilates and yoga, aerobic exercise is more for people who need to keep in shape and maintain a healthy back, not for those with acute injuries.

“Aerobic exercise makes the muscles more efficient over time,” says Cohen.

And walking is a good way to exercise the muscles of the back, Vasalos says. However, to be effective, walking has to be at a brisk pace and has to be continuous and done regularly.

“Walking is a more natural position for the back than sitting,” Cohen explains. “If you sit in a low chair or low car and the hips and knees come up, it takes the curvature out of the back and aggravates the strain.”

For people who are 60 or older and have, for instance, a disk that is compressing a nerve, walking in a pool or interval bicycling are likely to be more comfortable, Vasalos says.

“That will help build some of the muscles around the spine,” he adds.

And fast-paced exercises should not be used for a pain flare-up, Cohen warns.

Glucosamine

A large Norwegian trial published in the July 7 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association has cast serious doubts on the value of glucosamine for chronic lower back pain associated with osteoarthritis. Participants in the study took 1,500 milligrams of glucosamine a day for six months, but didn’t see a benefit of the supplement.

Researchers aren’t ruling out that glucosamine may have preventive effects or may have effects over several years, though. And glucosamine seems to be safe. So if you think you’re benefiting in some real or imagined way, there’s no harm in continuing.

Vitamin B12

Some people swear by vitamin B12. However, there’s really no indication that it has any direct effect on low back pain, experts say. Instead, any benefit may come from the energy boost it bestows.

“It’s really more of a pick-me-up,” Cohen says. “Patients feel it has a way of jump-starting the system. It does give you energy but, in terms of healing capacity, I wouldn’t say it’s much more beyond that.”

Vitamin D

One long-term strategy to maintain bone and back health is vitamin D.

Some spine surgeons are “really, really pushing that as far as maintaining good bone health, especially as we age,” says Vasalos, who recommends that every patient take 2,000 international units (IUs) of vitamin D and 1,000 mg of calcium citrate daily.

The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends 400 to 800 IUs of vitamin D daily for adults under 50 and 800 to 1,000 IUs for those 50 and older.

This is especially important because, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, as many as 1 billion people worldwide are deficient in vitamin D, which is crucial for bone health.

Vitamin D is present in some foods, such as cod liver oil, some fish, and fortified milk, but it is largely synthesized in the body after exposure to sunlight. Still, that’s not an excuse to roast in the sun just 10 to 15 minutes of sun exposure sans sunscreen is enough to generate an adequate amount of vitamin D. Even better, many multivitamins will give you 1,000 IU of vitamin D.

Therapy

“Some people feel that back pain, especially in chronic patients, almost becomes as much of a psychological condition [as a physical one], especially if doctors can’t find anything physically wrong,” Cohen says.

Biofeedback, hypnosis, and cognitive behavioral therapy have been shown to be of benefit.

“These try to reset a patient’s mind, retrain the mind to help lower pain,” Cohen says. “I think that’s a little more out on the fringe…but every once in a while, you can’t find out what’s wrong. And the idea is not to give up on the patient but to find a different angle of attack so they can feel better.”
