Avril Lavigne allowed to play Malaysia

Avril Lavigne [ ] will go forward with her Aug. 29 concert in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, after the government reversed its conclusion to proscribe the concert, according to a Reuters report.

The decision to allow the Lavigne concert was made at a cabinet get together after officials studied the assurances granted by the concert organiser. Arts and Culture Minister Mohammad Shafer Appeal reportedly said the concert must be monitored to ensure that the performance does not clangour with Malaysian culture and values.

Sanofi-aventis And Bristol-Myers Squibb Back NICE's Decision To Review Guidance On Vascular Disease - New Evidence Could Affect Change In Guidance, UK

�Sanofi-aventis and Bristol-Myers Squibb back today's decision by NICE (the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence) to review its guidance on vascular disease for clopidogrel (Plavix�) and dipyridamole. NICE originally plotted to give in review of the guidance, called Technology Appraisal Number 90 (TAG90), until November 2010. During the recent NICE consultation process, a number of organisations, highlighted the press need for an earlier review.


"Cardiovascular diseases is Britain's number one killer, therefore it is of public interest that NICE initiates a review of this guidance. There is important newfangled evidence uncommitted, particularly in the area of stroke, which means that the existing steering needs to be re-assessed. We now have the opportunity to ensure the guidance is kept up to particular date and in line with new evidence," said Nigel Brooksby, Chairman and Managing Director, sanofi-aventis UK.


Richard Marsh, Director of External Affairs and Market Access, Bristol-Myers Squibb adds, "The review of TAG90 announced by NICE today is timely.

The members of session music supergroup THE WRECKING CREW were honoured in Los Angeles on Wednesday (25Jun08) when studio stars GLEN CAMPBELL, HAL BLAINE and DON RANDI sank their hands in concrete at Hollywood's RockWalk.

The trio were part of the group that played behind the likes of Frank Sinatra, The Beach Boys, The Mamas and the Papas and The Monkees on hundreds of smash hits.

The Wrecking Crew were also largely responsible for giving music mogul Phil Spector his fabled Wall of Sound.

Drummer Hal Blaine told those gathered for the RockWalk induction that he had played with "the greatest musicians in the world" as a member of the session group.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member performed on hits like Strangers in the Night and Good Vibrations as a member of The Wrecking Crew.

Meanwhile, country icon Campbell admitted he still regrets the day he left The Wrecking Crew to embark on a solo career.

He said, "I wanted to stay and play with the musicians. It was what I really enjoyed doing, more so than singing."

Schieffer Won't Retire After All

CBS News President Sean McManus has apparently persuaded Bob Schieffer to put his retirement plans on indefinite hold. Schieffer had originally said that he planned to retire after the presidential inauguration in January. Then he said he would continue to host Face the Nation but "reduce my schedule a little bit." Today (Monday) the Washington Post reported that Schieffer had signed a new long-term deal with the network. The newspaper said that with Katie Couric's future as host of the CBS Evening News in doubt, McManus wants Schieffer to be ready to fill in for her as an interim anchor. Schieffer has played that role before, following Dan Rather's departure from the program. In fact, he boosted the ratings of the program during his brief tenure. They have since plummeted following Couric's arrival.
