Stars come out for Radiohead in LA

Radiohead thrilled a massive, star-studded herd at their first of two sold-out shows at the Hollywood Bowl last night (August 24).


The stria brought 'In Rainbows' to Los Angeles for the very showtime time, concentrating primarily on the new album but also pulling out erstwhile favourites including 'Pyramid Song' and 'Paranoid Android' during their two-hour and change set.

Thom Yorke said identical little between songs, lease the music speak for itself. Two Tibetan flags adorned the stage, along with a four-panel screen and electronic "icicles" that hung from the ceiling and changed colours end-to-end the night.


Fans packing the 17,000-capacity included Leonardo DiCaprio, Elijah Wood, Tim Roth, Patricia Arquette, Seth Green, Heather Graham, Danny Masterson and Christina Aguilera. Much of the crowd remained on their feet throughout the set -- a rare occurrence at the sitting, laid-back venue.


During songs' quieter moments, the crowd roared its approval, prompt modest "Thank you's" from the band throughout the night.


The band returned for two lengthy encores, putt their set over the two-hour gospel According to Mark. "This one was influenced by a certain bar in LA and a certain type of person you mightiness meet in that location," Yorke aforementioned when introducing 'Paranoid Android'.

Radiohead's only apparent blunder came during the first encore, when Yorke stopped 'Street Spirit' dead in the middle. "Bollocks," he aforementioned. "Should I carry on with it?" The crowd together cheered back in response, and the band carried on flawlessly.

'There There'

'Morning Bell'

'All I Need'

'Pyramid Song'

FDA Allows Phase 2 Study For Sound Pharmaceuticals' Novel Drug To Prevent Chemotherapy Induced Hearing Loss

�Sound Pharmaceuticals (SPI) has
received FDA notification that it whitethorn proceed with its Phase II survey to
forbid chemotherapy induced hearing red. The Ph-II study will enroll 80
patients with advanced nous and neck, and non-small cell lung cancer at the
National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research at the Veterans
Administration Hospital and the Oregon Health and Science University in
Portland, Oregon.



Hearing red due to ototoxic medications such as chemotherapy,
antibiotics or loop diuretics oft results in permanent and progressive
disablement. Furthermore, the combined habit of these ototoxic agents is
contraindicated, often limiting their clinical utility. Symptoms of
ototoxicity include hearing loss, tinnitus, dizziness, lightheadedness and
difficulty understanding speech. Historically, the incidence of cisplatin
or carboplatin-induced sense of hearing loss was widely under estimated or reported
due to unequal testing or a want of coverage. Recently, a new
behavioral audiometric protocol has been developed and employed to test an
individual's sensitive range for ototoxicity (SRO). This involves pure-tone
audiometry at very specific steps within a person's upper berth range of hearing.
With the SRO protocol, several studies right away report an incidence of
ototoxicity of 85-92% for cisplatin and carboplatin receiving cancer
patients, an incidence that is much greater than previously reported. One
of the goals of this Ph-II study is to shorten the incidence and severity of
the ototoxicity in platinum receiving cancer patients as measured by
pure tone audiometry victimisation the SRO protocol, distortion product otoacoustic
emissions (DPOAEs) and the tinnitus disablement inventory. DPOAEs are a
measure of outer hair cell single-valued function in the inner spike and ar another
sensitive and specific measure of ototoxicity.



In several preclinical studies, SPI has showed that its novel
chemoprotectant drug product, a humble molecule that mimics and induces
Glutathione Peroxidase activity was vital in preventing ototoxicity
patch not interfering with the chemotherapy treatment. In unmatchable rodent fashion model
of crab, the chemoprotectant enhanced the tumoricidal bodily process of
cisplatin.

Juror asks to be removed from R. Kelly trial

Judge receives note after break in deliberations





CHICAGO -- Two jurors are having issues at R. Kelly's child pornography trial.
One sent a note to the judge after three hours of deliberations Friday that reads: "How can I be removed and go home? I really need to."
Judge Vincent Gaughan called attorneys into the courtroom, told them about the note but adjourned before dealing with the matter. The jury had stopped deliberating for lunch.
Earlier in the morning, the judge called attorneys in to discuss another juror, who became frustrated by slow service during dinner the night before and started banging a bottle on the table and cursing. That juror was allowed to remain on the panel after other jurors indicated they could continue working with him.
