Kidney Research UK Launches First Ever National Kidney Disease Screening Pilot

2008-09-10T18:10:00.001-07:00

�Kidney Research UK is to launch a pilot programme of national showing days for chronic kidney disease (CKD).� The screenings will take place from September until the end of November in four-spot centres across the UK.�

The national pilot is being conducted in association with the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham and aims to cover up to 2,000 people at four sites (namely London, Birmingham, Oldham, plus unitary other) each session targeting one of the risky groups, which include:

-�� Black Africans and Caribbeans

-�� South Asians

-�� Those with a family history of kidney disease

-�� People with diabetes

-�� People with hypertension

The screening pilot, which is being sponsored by pharmaceutical companies Amgen and Roche, and supported by equipment from Siemens, is organism launched because CKD affects more than three billion people in the UK, many of whom ar unaware of the experimental condition.� If the programme proves successful, it could provide a model for national risk assessment.

Dr. Donal O'Donoghue, National Clinical Director for kidney tending comments:� "CKD is common, harmful and treatable. However it often goes undetected as sufferers oft display no symptoms, although people with high rip pressure (high blood pressure), diabetes and certain ethnical groups get a higher risk. Early detection however can have a significant impact on patient outcomes because changes in modus vivendi and diet can slow down the progression of the disease, delaying the progression to dialysis or transplantation."

Dr. Dwomoa Adu, the gaffer investigator for the cover pilot from Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, comments: "We now make drugs that reduce the rate at which renal disease progresses.� If we can identify people with� early stages of kidney disease, we tin can manage the condition and delay the need for dialysis and transplantation.� The way to do this is through the targeted screening of bad groups.� That way we can identify citizenry with CKD, before they reach a critical stage and help them to manage the condition with medication and lifestyle changes.� This is the right thing to do for both the patient and the NHS."

People wishing to find out if they are eligible to participate in the pilot can call the Kidney Health Information Line on 0845 300 1499 who will be able to notify them of screenings in their domain.

New show aims to represent public defenders

2008-08-31T18:19:00.001-07:00

LOS ANGELES �

On one side of the "Raising the Bar" soundstage is a sterile spot space punctuated with old phones, metal filing cabinets and dozens of written document. On the other position: a far less sombre enclave tonic with modern office article of furniture, frosted glass partitions and minimalist Macs.

The more welcoming habitat represents a Manhattan public defender's office patch the drear opposing workplace serves as the territory attorney's home office. Such distinction - and any underlying similarity - is the essence of TNT's new legal drama (premiering 10 p.m. EDT Monday) from TV producer Steven Bochco.

The Emmy-winning hitmaker enlisted Seton Hall University law professor David Feige, a former public defender wHO wrote the 2006 criminal justice system memoir "Indefensible," to help co-create and supervise "Raising the Bar." Feige said the series will - finally - accurately portray lawyers appointive to represent defendants at public expense.

Walking between the sets, Feige said TV shows "have gotten it so haywire," recalling that his office in the Bronx was "in a loft that was a converted methamphetamine factory. It had 40-foot ceilings. It was gorgeous."

Making the case for public defenders - who ar often contracted employees world Health Organization can give more comfortable workspaces than their government-employed peers - extends beyond the office furnishings found on this soundstage: The ensemble drama features four-spot fleshed-out characters.

"Everything that has ever portrayed our creation has gotten it insultingly wrong," aforementioned Feige. "The portrayal of public defenders is as schlubby, disillusioned, generally incompetent people wHO can't get other jobs. The reality is that my Bronx office leased people from Harvard and Yale. ... Nobody believes it."

Feige temporarily resettled to Los Angeles to work on "Raising the Bar" with Bochco, the producer whose credits include "Hill Street Blues," "L.A. Law," "Over There" and "NYPD Blue."

At the heart of "Raising the Bar" is worker Mark-Paul Gosselaar as Jerry Kellerman, a confrontational public defender wHO spars with a pronounce and sleeps with a prosecutor in the first-class honours degree episode. While the shew isn't at once based on Feige's liveliness, Kellerman shares several traits with Feige - among them, the flowing head of hair he erst sported during his time as a public defender.

"People are so obsessed with the hair," Gosselaar aforesaid on the set. "The truth is I was between roles, just organism lazy and letting it grow out. When I came onto this contrive, both Stephen and David wanted me to keep open it long. I think it real suits Jerry. David told me he really did go to trial with long hair, so it's not out of the realm of possibility."

The series co-stars Jane Kaczmarek from "Malcolm in the Middle" as brainish Judge Trudy Kessler, and Gloria Reuben, best known for her role as Jeanie Boulet on captain Hicks seasons of "ER," as Kellerman's sympathize with boss.

The draw of "Raising the Bar" has actors portraying just about every possible fictional character in a courtroom scene - leave off perhaps a transcriptionist.

"I don't want people to remember the public defenders are the good guys, and the DA's office are the unsound guys," said Melissa Sagemiller, who plays ambitious Assistant District Attorney Michelle Ernhardt. "We're sledding for the gray areas. I hope people ar entranced with what Michelle does. She's not soul you behind root for all the time."

After Simon & Garfunkel, 1 of the about successful duos in come out history, split up in 1970, Art Garfunkel became a solo creative person, as well as pursuing an playacting life history. Garfunkel's pure, high strain had been unitary of the well-nigh distinctive elements of the duo's euphony, even he wasn't responsible for for the songwriting -- Simon wrote all of the group's hits. Not amazingly, Garfunkel relied on other songwriters, from Jimmy Webb and Randy Newman, in addition to rock & roll standards like "I Only Have Eyes for You," passim his solo vocation. As a solo performer, he was never quite as successful as he was with Simon & Garfunkel, in clock time he did have a number of Top 40 hits in the mid-'70s.

Garfunkel didn't begin a solo vocation until 1973. Between 1970 and 1973, he acted, appearance in two Mike Nichols films, Catch 22 and Animal Knowledge. Holy man Clare, his offset solo christian Bible, was co-produced with Simon & Garfunkel producer Roy Halee and released in the fall of 1973. It established the style -- a light, carefully arranged and constructed melodic soft careen -- he would fall out end-to-end his solo life history. The album became a Top Ten hit on the military strength of the individual "All I Know," which under the weather at number nine-spot. Two age later on, he returned with the Richard Perry-produced Breakaway, the to the highest degree successful album of his solo career. The record book poorly at issue seven-spot, with a adaptation of the Flamingos' "I Only Have Eyes for You" reaching number 18 on the U.S. charts; in Britain, the individual topped the charts. That same fall, he reunited with Paul Simon for the first time, playacting on Sabbatum Night Live. In December, Simon's "My Little Town," featuring Garfunkel on backing vocals, became a Top Ten hit.

In the fall of 1977, Garfunkel released his third gear record album, Watermark, which primarily consisted of Jimmy Webb covers. However, when the first single from the album failed to graph, the album was reissued in early 1978 with a cut across of Sam Cooke's "Terrific World" that featured supporting vocals from Simon and James Taylor. Released as a individual, "Grand World" under the weather at number 17. The following year, Portion for Breakfast appeared. Although it performed well in Britain, reaching number deuce, the album signalled that his American audience was beginning to funk: none of the singles made the Top 40 and the album only reached issue 67. In the fall of 1979, he filmed deuce movies, Spoiled Timing and Illusions. Scissors hold Cut, a reunion with producer Roy Halee released in 1981, did nothing to opposite his sliding commercial potency -- it didn't tied wear out into the Top 100 albums.

Later on the release of Scissors Cut, Simon & Garfunkel reunited for a concert in New York's Central Park. The concert was so successful, the duette distinct to venture on a yearlong creation hitch. During the tour, tensions mounted between the partner off and they split again afterwards it was completed. After a extended quiet period of time, Garfunkel re-emerged in 1988 with Lefty, which spent a mere eight-spot weeks in the American charts and failed to make the British charts. He did not release another album until 1993's rarities compilation Up 'til Now. Following its sack, Garfunkel took another prolonged break, returning in 1997 with the hot album Across America and the children's record book Songs from a Parent to a Child. The (mostly) self-penned Everything Waits to Be Noticed arrived in 2002, followed by Some Enchanted Evening, a accumulation of renditions of classics from the American Popular Songbook, in 2007.

Simple Minds To Release Two New Albums

2008-06-25T22:09:00.000-07:00

Newly reformed Scot rockers Simple Minds have revealed they could release two new albums because sessions in the studio have been going so well.

“I am having difficulty in remembering the last time we had such an abundance of material prior to recording.

"We may even have enough songs of sufficient quality for two albums.”

The original line-up only announced in July that they would be working together for the first time in 27 years and fans will be over the moon to hear that they may get even more then they bargained for.

There are no plans for releasing a double album of the material and the first album is pencilled in for an early 2009 release.

The band will play the Nelson Mandela birthday concert this Friday at Hyde Park before heading out on a short UK tour to celebrate their 30 years in the industry.

Will Smith comes to rescue of flawed "Hancock"

2008-06-25T22:07:00.005-07:00

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Will Smith's powers are even more extraordinary than those of a caped crusader who can leap way beyond the tallest buildings in a single bound.

Smith has salvaged many vehicles more threadbare than "Hancock," and though his latest venture is decidedly uneven, he seems poised to score yet another supervictory at the box office when it opens July 2. The Columbia Pictures release is a good showcase for him -- and for co-stars Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman. Imagine the heights they all could have scaled if the picture had been really good.

One suspects that the movie's problems stem from the multitude of cooks who toiled on the project during the several years it took to reach the screen. Although the script is credited to Vy Vincent Ngo and Vince Gilligan, several others worked on it, including producers Akiva Goldsman and Michael Mann. Jonathan Mostow and Gabriele Muccino were among the directors attached to the project before Peter Berg signed on. Somewhere along the way, a sharp black comedy lost its bite.

The movie's sly premise is established in its opening scenes, which reflect the tart sensibility of Gilligan, the creator of AMC's bracingly cynical series "Breaking Bad." Hancock is a crime-fighter going through what appears to be a midlife crisis. He's a foulmouthed drunk who springs into action when Los Angeles is in trouble, but he behaves with such wanton disregard for people and property that he often alienates the citizens whose lives he saves.

When Hancock rescues an idealistic PR man (now there's an oxymoron), the grateful Ray (Bateman) embarks on a campaign to burnish Hancock's bad-boy image. The benevolent publicist -- the antithesis of Tony Curtis' sleazy Sidney Falco in "Sweet Smell of Success" -- is another choice comic character. The movie introduces a third when Hancock meets Ray's wife, Mary (Theron). There are mysterious sparks between the loutish superhero and the pert suburban housewife, and it's clear that Mary has some connection to Hancock's past. But this is where the movie starts to unravel. It veers from comedy to romantic tragedy and introduces an elaborate backstory that never makes much sense.

The best comic book movies develop a rigorous and logical mythology. As "Hancock" races toward its spectacular but muddled finale, it keeps rewriting its own rules in an effort to pander to the audience. The storytelling lapses are not helped by Berg's frenetic direction. As he showed in his most recent film, "The Kingdom," Berg is addicted to intense close-ups and kinetic hand-held camera movement. He seems to be worshiping at the altar of Michael Bay.

Berg's strength lies in his appreciation for actors and keen eye for casting. Bateman has brightened many recent movies, including "Juno" and "The Promotion," but no one has given him such a juicy part in years. The actor rips into it lustily. British actor Eddie Marsan (a member of Mike Leigh's stock company) also makes a strong impression as a genuinely creepy villain.

Special effects supervised by veteran John Dykstra are at once witty and eye-popping. In keeping with the concept of the surly superhero, Hancock makes his entrances and exits spewing mounds of concrete in his hazardous wake. The visual effects are stellar, but the true star is Smith, who again demonstrates acting chops as well as effortless charisma in a vehicle that's only occasionally worthy of his superhuman skills.

The Cribs: 'The Sex Pistols are sexually fantastic'

2008-06-25T22:07:00.003-07:00

The Cribs played a raucous afternoon set at the Isle Of Wight festival this afternoon (June 14) at which they described The Sex Pistols, who are set to headline the festival later tonight, as "sexually fantastic".

The sunny weather brought out a typically high-octane performance from the Wakefield trio, with bassist Gary Jarman ending the set by hurling his bass guitar into drummer Ross Jarman's drum kit.

Watched from the side of the stage by singer Ryan Jarman's girlfriend Kate Nash and The Enemy's Tom Clarke, the band played a set including hits 'Hey Scenesters', 'Moving Pictures' and 'Men's Needs'.

Before playing 'Mirror Kissers' Ryan Jarman told the crowd about his night out the previous evening. "We went to a karaoke bar," he told the audience. "When we were singing songs we thought we were going to get our heads kicked in. So it's nice to sing some songs here without fear of getting our heads kicked in."

After playing 'Another Number' later in the set the singer/guitarist paid tribute to The Sex Pistols, who will grace the stage tonight. "We played with them before," he told the crowd, referring to the support slots they played with the punk legends recently. "They were sexually fantastic".

Two songs later, as set-closer 'The Wrong Way' reached its death, Gary Jarman threw his instrument a full ten feet in the air before it crashed down on his brother's drum kit. Ryan Jarman, meanwhile, knocked over an amp stack with his guitar before thanking the crowd and heading off stage.

The Cribs played:

'Our Bovine Public'
'Hey Scenesters'
'Don't You Wanna Be Relevant?'
'My Life Flashed Before My Eyes'
'Women's Needs'
'Moving Pictures'
'Mirror Kissers'
'Men's Needs'
'Another Number'
'I'm A Realist'
'The Wrong Way To Be'

Zac Efron Loves 'Nice, Long, Sexy Legs'

2008-06-25T22:07:00.001-07:00

Zac Efron has revealed he's a bit of a leg man when it comes to the ladies.

The High School Musical heartthrob - who dates his on-screen love interest Vanessa Hudgens off-screen – goes into specifics about what he looks for in the opposite sex in a new interview.

He explains, "I don't know the exact measurements but I like curvy girls - girls with hips. I'm also huge on legs. I love girls with nice, long, sexy legs.
"I don't always find myself dating super-skinny girls.

But Zac is quick to add that it's more about what's on the 'inside' than physical beauty when it comes to attraction.

“It's not all about what you look like, it's so much more,” he insists.
“I know it sounds really cheesy but it's more about what's on the inside when you're dating a girl."

Kate Moss Ready For Baby Number 2?

2008-06-25T22:05:00.001-07:00

Kate Moss's broody behaviour has prompted speculation that she is ready for a second child.

The supermodel - who has a 5-year-old daughter, Lila - reportedly became very attached to a fan's baby outside a North London shop recently.

"A fan spotted Kate and went over to ask her for her autograph. Kate then noticed the woman was with a little baby and practically snatched the kid out of its mum's hands,” an onlooker tells The Mirror.

"She couldn't stop smiling and kept telling Jamie how cute the baby was. It looked as if she didn't want to give it back."

Kate has been snapped sporting slight belly bulge lately (see above) - could the hard partying model and boyfriend Jamie Hince have already got to work on a little brother or sister for Lila?
