SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., July 27, 2010 -- Medicis (NYSE:MRX) today announced that over 100,000 patients have registered for the Dysport Challenge promoting Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) 300 Units for Injection. The Company previously announced that, of 53,840 patients who took the Dysport Challenge between March 1 and May 9, 2010, 91.2% of 22,416 patients who made a selection chose "Love It." As of May 25 due to continued overwhelming response, only patients choosing "Leave It" are required to make a selection. To date, 2.6% of all patients who have registered have made a selection to "Leave It" since the program was launched.(1) Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in April 2009, Dysport is a prescription injection used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults less than 65 years of age.
"We are pleased to announce this tremendous support by both physicians and patients for the Dysport Challenge," said Jonah Shacknai, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Medicis. "Medicis made a bold statement of confidence in the brand by offering patients the opportunity to try Dysport and save up to $150 total. Given the option to select 'Leave It' and still save $75 on a treatment with another botulinum toxin type A, only 2.6% of the more than 100,000 registered patients chose 'Leave It.' We are eager to see more patients try Dysport. Our Dysport Challenge, which runs through the end of September, is an ideal opportunity."
The Dysport Challenge was originally launched on March 1, and now runs through September 30, 2010. Offer terms and conditions apply. For complete offer details, please see below, visit www.DysportUSA.com, or talk to your licensed healthcare professional. Ask your healthcare professional if Dysport is right for you.
Visible Improvements
With just one injection into each of five points between and above the eyebrows, Dysport blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscles, ultimately resulting in a localized reduction of muscle activity in the treated area, which temporarily prevents contraction of the muscles that cause frown lines. The untreated facial muscles still contract normally, allowing patients to freely show facial expressions, such as smiling, in the untreated areas.
Although office visit time varies, the procedure generally takes about 10 to 20 minutes, and there is little to no downtime after treatment. Ask your doctor about any precautions you should take after your treatment. Call your doctor or get medical help right away if you have any problems swallowing, speaking, or breathing. If this happens, do not drive a car, operate machinery, or do other dangerous activities.

Dysport Indication and Important Safety Information
Dysport is a prescription injection used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults less than 65 years of age.
Important Safety Information
What is the most important information you should know about Dysport?
Spread of Toxin Effects: In some cases, the effects of Dysport and all botulinum toxin products may affect areas of the body away from the injection site. These effects can cause symptoms of a serious condition called botulism. Symptoms of botulism can happen hours to weeks after injection and may include swallowing and breathing problems, loss of strength and muscle weakness all over the body, double vision, blurred vision and drooping eyelids, hoarseness or change or loss of voice, trouble saying words clearly, or loss of bladder control.
Swallowing and breathing problems can be life threatening and there have been reports of death.
The risk of symptoms is probably greatest in children and adults treated for muscle spasms, particularly in those patients who have underlying medical conditions that could make these symptoms more likely.
The toxic effects have been reported at doses similar to those used to treat muscle spasms in the neck. Lower doses, in both approved and unapproved uses, have also caused toxic effects. This includes treatment of children and adults for muscle spasms.
These effects could make it unsafe for you to drive a car, operate machinery, or do other dangerous activities.
Do not have Dysport treatment if you: are allergic to Dysport or any of its ingredients (see the end of the Medication Guide for a list of ingredients), are allergic to cow's milk protein, had an allergic reaction to any other botulinum toxin product, such as Myobloc® or Botox®, or have a skin infection at the planned injection site.
The dose of Dysport is not the same as the dose of any other botulinum toxin product. The dose of Dysport cannot be compared to the dose of any other botulinum toxin product you may have used.
Dysport may not be right for you if: you have surgical changes to your face, very weak muscles in the treatment area, your face looks very different from side to side, the injection site is inflamed, you have droopy eyelids or sagging eyelid folds, deep facial scars, thick oily skin, or if your wrinkles can't be smoothed by spreading them apart.
Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including if you have: a disease that affects your muscles and nerves (such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease), myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome), allergies to any botulinum toxin product or had any side effect from any botulinum toxin product in the past, a breathing problem (such as asthma or emphysema), swallowing problems, bleeding problems, diabetes, or a slow heart beat or other problem with your heart rate or rhythm, plans to have surgery, had surgery on your face, weakness of your forehead muscles (such as trouble raising your eyebrows), drooping eyelids, or any other change in the way your face normally looks. Patients with a disease that affects muscles and nerves who are treated with typical doses of Dysport may have a higher risk of serious side effects, including severe swallowing and breathing problems.
Human Albumin
This product contains albumin taken from human plasma. Steps taken during donor screening and product manufacturing processes make the risk of spreading viral diseases extremely rare. In theory, there is also an extremely rare risk of contracting Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). No cases of spread of viral diseases or CJD have ever been reported for albumin.
Allergic Reaction to Injecting in the Skin
It is not known if an allergic reaction can be caused by injecting Dysport into the skin.The safety of treating excessive sweating with Dysport is not known.
Common Side Effects
The most common side effects are nose and throat irritation, headache, injection site pain, injection site skin reaction, upper respiratory tract infection, eyelid swelling, eyelid drooping, sinus inflammation, and nausea.
Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins and herbal and other natural products. Using Dysport with certain other medicines may cause serious side effects. Do not start any new medicines while taking Dysport without talking to your doctor first.
Especially tell your doctor if you: have received any other botulinum toxin product in the last four months, have received injections of botulinum toxin, such as Myobloc® (rimabotulinumtoxinB) or Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA) in the past (be sure your doctor knows exactly which product you received), have recently received an antibiotic by injection, take muscle relaxants, take an allergy or cold medicine, or take a sleep medicine.
Use in Specific Populations
Dysport should not be used in children or in women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Ask your doctor if Dysport is right for you.

What is DYSPORT™?

CD is caused by muscle spasms in the neck. These spasms cause abnormal position of the head and often neck pain. After DYSPORT™ is injected into muscles, those muscles are weakened for up to 12 to 16 weeks or longer. This may help lessen your symptoms.
Frown lines (wrinkles) happen because the muscles that control facial expression are used often (muscle tightening over and over). After DYSPORT™ is injected into the muscles that control facial expression, the medicine stops the tightening of these muscles for up to 4 months.

NEW YORK -- The Mets announced Tuesday that veteran reliever Frank Francisco underwent surgery to remove a bone spur from his right elbow. Francisco's procedure was performed by Dr. David Altchek, and he's expected to be at full speed for Opening Day.
Francisco, 33, went 1-3 with a 5.53 ERA last season, saving 23 games, but only five of them came after the All-Star break. Prior to joining the Mets, Francisco had 17 saves for Toronto in 2011 and a career-best 25 saves for Texas in '09.
Francisco, who has a 19-22 career record with a 3.92 ERA and 72 saves, is expected to begin throwing in about six weeks and should be ready for Spring Training. The right-hander has spent virtually all of his career -- 331 of his 379 appearances -- in the American League.
Last season, his first with the Mets, Francisco finished 38 of the 48 games he pitched in and allowed five home runs in his 48 appearances. Francisco had a 7.17 ERA in 10 April appearances last season, and he skewed his season-ending statistics by posting a 9.82 mark in 10 August outings.

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
Showing up for court landed a man in jail with new charges against him.
Christopher L. Sowards, 32, of Penny Hills Lane in Corbin, was scheduled to appear in Laurel District Court on Tuesday morning for a preliminary hearing. Sowards had been arrested on Jan. 26 by Laurel County Sheriff's Deputy Josh Scott for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and driving on a suspended or revoked operator's license. He was arraigned on Jan. 28 on those charges and a preliminary hearing was set for Feb. 5.
But when Sowards showed up for court on Tuesday, he was hit with a warrant from the Office of Probation and Parole for violating the terms of his prior release on a conviction of second-degree trafficking in a controlled substance from 2009. That warrant was taken out the day after Sowards' arraignment hearing and was served by Laurel Sheriff's Corporal Derrick Price when Sowards came to court Tuesday.
The road to Sowards' latest arrest spans the three-year period since that first charge in 2009. Records from the Laurel County Detention Center's website shows Sowards was incarcerated for nearly three months on a trafficking charge and was indicted in Laurel Circuit Court. He was jailed again on Feb. 16, 2010 for failing to appear in court but was released the following day.
Sowards' criminal records remains clear from February 2010 until his arrest last month. Sowards still faces a pretrial conference in Laurel District Court on April 16 for the driving on a suspended or revoked operator's license charge. However, the possession of a firearm by a convicted felon charge was dismissed without prejudice by a motion of the County Attorney's Office. Without prejudice means the charge can be brought up again if another offense is committed.
Anthony Campbell with the state's office of Probation and Parole said he could not speak specifically to Sowards' case, but did say penalties against probationary or paroled individuals could remain regardless if charges were dismissed by the prosecuting attorney's office.
"If anyone is on probation, they are strictly forbidden to be around firearms," he said. "It doesn't matter if the case is dismissed or not, the probation conditions still apply."
Records from the Laurel County Detention Center indicate Sowards was still incarcerated at press time on Thursday morning. Court Security Officer Larry Walls assisted Price in the arrest at the Laurel County Judicial Center.

A: Pretty boring and standard. What can I say? Its a taphouse in Bellevue, by the mall with, spoiled, undeserving brats coming out at night time mostly
Q: With 150+ taps I thought they would have a bunch of crap but the quality was good; however I had two beers that I had previously had before and there seemed to be a bit of funk smell on my Val Dieu Trippel and my Diamond Knot IIPA was a bit off. How do I know this? Well I finished a fresh 1/6 bbl of DK IIPA on my clean lines at home several months ago.
S: All nice and friendly
S: Very good. One can NOT complain. The only reason why a 5 was not given is because you wont be finding an Abyss, or PtE here.

I go for the selection. They have a great selection of beers, many of them quality. That means that even though my luck mandates that at least one of my choices will always be out or unavailable, there's always a great second, third, or fourth choice.
I never like the crowded slightly-trendy scene, though, or the pounding music. The food's good though, and if you can get a quiet table with some friends (and somehow avoid a drunk programmer peddling La Chouffe), you can have a pretty good time.

Being my beloved's first trip to Coffeetown (and my first in a decade), we had a full agenda of tourist trap attractions to blow our hard-earned vacation dollars on. We walked from our B&B on the hill down Pike all the way to the market, where we didn't see anyone throw any fishes - must have been a slow day - then walked to the space needle. I scoffed at the price of the elevator ride, but the fiancé insisted. It turned out to be an advantageous move, considering that we wouldn't have spotted that fountain not too far from there. You see, my lady likes fountains, and spending a half-hour there gazing at some contraption that spurted water with accompanying music made me enough brownie points to last a couple of days at least. She outright told me, "Okay, we can do all the Beer places that you want now. Just find one quick, I'm hungry." So in two shakes of a monorail's tail we showed up here. Walking down the snazzy corridors of this modern building in a business sector, alarm bells were ringing in my head. Very upscale sports bar atmosphere, with a twisted bar, private salons, pool tables and an all around nouveau riche feeling. "Now this place I like" she said. "Why don't we go more often to places like this?" "Wait 'till we see the menu..." I answered. My hunch was right. Selection was pretty disappointing. Lots of "premium" lagers, usual suspect imports, and only a few local micros that could have been found elsewhere, for cheaper. But I was pleasantly surprised at the affordable lunch menu. My Guinness stew was around 10 bucks, was tasty filled me up right. Service was typical of chain brewpubs/sports bars, a fake smile but you got your orders fast, so no complaints. I didn't dislike my visit here, but frankly had I known I would have spent more quality time elsewhere.

I guess we were lucky. We had a wide selection of beers there and none were bad. Of course, we drank most of the local beers as we cannot get them here on the East Coast. Maybe they cycle faster. The food was good, though maybe a bit excessive for the beers. I was very surprised the first time we walked in. The ambiance was yuppie and, at first, I felt a little out of place, but I figured my money is just as good as theirs and I'm there to drink the beers. Our second visit was on Thursday night and a lot of the yuppie crowd was there swilling martinis. I even heard the one couple next to us leave because he couldn't get Bud Light! I guess if we were regulars, we might have a bad experience, but the 2 visits we made were enjoyable and rewarding.

After reading the reviews, I decided to take the risk rather then hit rock bottom or the sports bar. Bad move. I had 3 beers, they were basically all bad. DFH90 was first. A slight tang to it but otherwise it was fine, thanks to the huge flavor masking any off-tastes. I asked what was freshest and my server said they had just tapped it. So not stale, but maybe some dirty tap lines.
Next beer was a Bière Du Boucanier. The bartender saw it was flat so the server only brought me a sample. It was disgusting, sour and super tangy. Luckily no charge. I finally risked ordering the new Bud American Ale, man was it gross. Unlike the other two beers, I've never had this, but from the reviews I read, I don't think it's normally this bad!
Of course their selection is massive and I have to give them points for it. But Looking around I noticed over half of the lyounger yuppie crowd was drinking mix drinks, which obviously isn't helping their turnover. I assume none of it is particularly fresh or at least served cleanly.
Cool enough atmosphere for the wealthy hipster, very Bellevue. I sat at a table in the bar area, which was almost full on a week night around 8pm. My server was pretty attentive and friendly.
I got their bbq burger, it was pretty damn good. The bun was phenomenal, like it was baked fresh to order. Tab was still pretty high, for 3 beers (2 x 90 min + American Ale) and burger, a bit more then $30. Welcome to Bellevue, at least they validated parking.

I've gone here quite a few times and they have a great selection of beer on tap with additional rotating taps. However, the food here doesn't match the types of beers they offer. I know there are beers that go with sushi, but it isn't something I would think of right off the bat when thinking about beer. Also a Chicken Philly instead of a Steak Philly? Weird. The food just doesn't seem to match the 160 beers they have on tap.
I also think that the servers there need to have a better knowledge of beer. I ordered some HOTD Fred and the women just looked at me like I was from Mars. I had to show it to her on the menu. Her claim was she hasn't been there for two weeks. (But it was there for the last month.) Plus my wife ordered some Maudite and it tasted sour or skunked or something. She has had that beer there many times (its one of her favs.), and from the bottle and this one tasted off. We complained to the server, but she didn't get what I was talking about, and neither did the bartender, they both thought the beer was fine. For a place like that you would think the staff would have to be more beer educated if your going to have a claim da fame of 160 beers on tap

Stopped in here recently and I have to say about their beer selection, clean your lines!!!.
The issue I had with this place is that beer selection should be what drives someone to this place, yet I feel any first timer might assume that their Yeti is a bit milder than what it is in bottle or on a clean line. I inquired how they tend to service temperatures of their stronger ales versus their mild (sessions, light lagers, etc.). The answer I got was the same cooler and to top things off things off I felt like I was insulting the bartender by asking them to take a "bad" beer back.
Overall, given the options around the area, there isn't much, but I think I would rather head into Rock Bottom and have a locally brewed, than question whether its the line or my taste buds that are fried.

A lot of us categorize things by season; back to school season, garden harvest picking season, etc. Unfortunately, cold's are never out of season.
Ava Ohnstad not only works at the Avera McGreevy Clinic at 69th and Western as an LPN, she's also been a patient recently.
Ava says, "I have just a cold, a stuffy old cold. I don't know if I have an allergy since you can develop allergies as you grow old it's just a matter of getting tested. I've talked with some of the physicians I've worked with and we are just focusing on a cold."
It seems a lot of you are suffering with the same symptoms as Ava, symptoms that are annoying, but not severe enough to keep you away from work or school so you just plow through it as best you can.
Ava describes her symptoms, "I have a stuffy head, my ears are stuffy, my sinuses are bothering me, I have a sore throat. My nose is draining into the back of my throat. It's not strep, just sore and irritated with a dry hacking cough. I've had it about 7 days. We've had a lot of testing for strep, but very few have tested positive for strep."
Even though it's not fun to have a cold during the summer, you really have to take care of yourself no matter what time of year it is. Get plenty of sleep, drink plenty of fluids and maybe throw in a bowl of chicken noodle soup.

The Democrat's No Drilling Zone
With oil at $134.00 per barrel and gas @ $4.00 gallon it's time to take another look at the Democrat's NO DRILLING ZONE here in the U.S. The image here shows part of the zone but that's not all. There's the North Slope of Alaska with one of the world's largest reserves of oil but it, too, falls in the Donk's NO DRILLING ZONE.
Then let's not forget the world's largest reserves. That would be oil shale in Wyoming and Colorado. Most experts say that there's enough oil locked in the shale to last the U.S. for at least 200 years, but the Dems say NO.
Oh, and BTW: China is setting up to start drilling for oil in Cuban waters, just 45 miles off the coast of Florida, but American companies are prohibited, that means FORBIDDEN by Democrats, from drilling the same distance away in American waters.
As I've said in the past, maybe we can start begging China for some of that good old Cuban oil.

US$16.5M worth of cocaine seized near Puerto Rico
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Federal authorities say they have seized 1,455 pounds (660 kilograms) of cocaine on a speedboat near Puerto Rico in one of the island's biggest drug busts of the year.
The interim director of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Puerto Rico says the drugs are worth an estimated $16.5 million. Angel Melendez said Wednesday the cocaine likely came from Venezuela or Colombia and that the majority was destined for the US mainland.
Two suspects were arrested and face federal drug smuggling charges.
Agents with US Customs and Border Protection located the two men aboard a 30-foot (9-metre) speedboat about 55 miles south of Puerto Rico during an air patrol late Monday.

Wednesday night in San Francisco, Matt Cain has pitched eight perfect innings against the Houston Astros.
In the top of the eighth, J.D. Martinez led off with a ground ball to third base, where Joaquin Arias handled it. Next, Cain struck out Brett Wallace for his 14th strikeout; he'd already set a career best in the seventh inning, with his 13th K. And Cain made it 24 up and 24 down by retiring Chris Johnson on a grounder to shortstop Brandon Crawford.
Cain's thrown 114 pitches through eight innings, and it's now apparent that he'll be given a shot at finishing what would be the first no-hitter (and perfect game) of his career. Oh, and the Giants took a 10-0 lead into the bottom of the eighth.
Before the eighth inning, there were two exceptionally close calls.
In the fourth, Jordan Schafer hit a screaming grounder down the first-base line, but according to the umpire -- and granted, he had the best look at it -- the ball went foul just before crossing the bag.
And in the seventh, Schafer got robbed again. This time he drove a pitch to deep right-center field, where Gregor Blanco somehow snared the ball with a headlong dive that left him prone on the warning track.

vacation rental description
Welcome to Himmlischer Chateau (Heavenly Home), where the dream,
group vacation experience comes together through the eyes of an award-
winning developer and Disney engineers. Himmlischer is more than a
house – it is an entertainment venue purposely designed for groups of
all ages. The Chateau has two identical master bedrooms and master
baths and both have views of the skiers and wildlife going by,
jacuzzi whirlpool baths, twin vanities, glass block walls, 4 speaker
hi-fi sound sytems with I-pod hook-ups with music and view of the
slopes even in the shower.
Himmlischer is located at the top of a private four season community
complex, offering year round activities. Semi-private Snow skiing
on a mountain that is taller than Jack Frost & Big Boulder and has
longer trails yet NO crowds and is right out the back
door. You can ski right from the chair lift to the garage. Ski-Big
Bear is an exclusive, semi-private mountain with 5 lifts, lodge,
restaurant, bar and food market.
You won't get run over while teaching your kids how
to ski here and you park just once and ski-in and out the whole week
or use our 6 passenger custom limo golf cart to get around in spring
summer and fall.
Masthope community also has a fitness center, beach, pool, water
slides, horseback riding, kids petting farm, lake, fishing, boats and
sport courts to use. A spa with indoor pool, golf, rafting, canoeing,
paintball, eagle observation area at the Eagle institute, museums,
antiquing and family fun park are all minutes away, but the best part
is that the deer are everywhere and we garrantee that you will see
them, PLENTY of them every day right on the property.
The lavish chateau includes 4 hi-def plasma TVs, 2 larger than life
theaters with PlayStation III, X-BOX 360, outrageous sound systems, a
4' commercial, Tapan-Yaki steak house kitchen griddle and nicer
furniture and
cabinets than I have in my own home. Before drafting the house, we
blueprinted the fun for every activity and part of our think-tank
process was considering where adults and children of each age group
would congregate. Adults savor the top floor most often where there
is a 16 foot television, sunkin living room and huge kitchen island
to entertain around.
Teenagers congregate in the game room with 12 foot hi-def gaming, tv
and dvd theater, but to keep the toddlers from fighting
for either of these 2 theaters, we outfitted "Camp Stack-em-up†(the
bunk bed room) with a Nintendo Wii system and a 32' plasma just for
We also put plasma TV's and DVD players in 3 of the bedrooms
so that parents can put cartoons on for toddlers.
The first floor was designed for families with the youngest children
in mind. Since they are usually the first to wake up and go to the
game room theater, everyone else above them can still get some
sleep. We also recognized how hard it can be to get kids to eat when
they are having fun, so we put an extra kitchen on this level and a
card table.
Every conceivable thing that you will do here, we have done at other
rentals and brainstormed about making it better.
FEATURES - Ultra high-end built-in electronics, 25 speakers, 5 plasma
TV's, 16' motorized, drop-down TV/movie/PLAYSTATION III screen in
living room and a 12' screen in the game room theater WITH X-BOX 360,
3 Jacuzzis, bubble hockey, pool table, gold flake
granite counters, kitchen island with 42" computer and a 4' wide
Tapan-Yaki griddle, just like in a Japanese steak house!
The outside deck and sunken-in living room are both down a step from
each other and two steps from the kitchen to maximize the view of the
slopes and great outdoors and create inclined movie theater-style
seating for
watching games, movies and TV on the giant 16-foot screen.
We also had custom glass deck railings made so that no matter where
you stand or sit, you enjoy a spectacular, unobstructed view from the
top floor, at the top of the mountain.
On the inside, since there is no couch or even a living room that
will sit 18 people to watch a movie, we designed a custom, 16-foot
long leather couch, paired it with four ottomans that fit under a
coffee table, and layed out the kitchen so that it forms a second and
third elevated row of theater seating and becomes a part of the
living room at game time. The leather barrel chairs at the lower
island turn to face the screen, and people sitting on the bar stools
at the upper island see over everyone.
The unique 4' COMMERCIAL griddle in the island, integrated 42" plasma
TV/computer and Disney-designed lighting are obvious innovations, but
the cabinets and hardwood floors and trim take the term "CUSTOM" to a
whole new level. You can't buy Himmlischer's cabinets, trim and
hardwood floors in Home Depot or Lowes. Our designer started by
selecting grain-matched maple and mahogany planks. Those were then
milled, stained and cleaned in a dust-free spray booth to our
specifications and latter became the perfectly matched hardwood
floors, doors and trim in the house. If you run your finger over the
finish of the wood doors and trim in the house, it is as silky smooth
as waxed show car. For baseboard and
door casings, we started with planks that were twice the width and
thickness of traditional trims and had them routed to our own design.
Imagine entertaining guests around the kitchen island while you gaze
out onto the ski slopes watching the night skiers or the deer walk
by. At game time, you press a button and an 16 foot TV screen
descends over the windows. Better yet, why not sit in the 8 person
hot-tub with a frozen drink and enjoy the view from the top floor
deck? This house is designed to provide you with every luxury you
can imagine while you take in the beauty of the outdoors. Whether it
is summer, autumn or spring, this home provides a beautiful setting
with plenty to do in the home and surrounding community. In the
winter guests enjoy a very exclusive, semi-private skiing experience,
without the dangerous crowds on the slopes and long lift lines that
you find elsewhere. With the 4 rechargeable radios that come with the
house, you can let the children ski in and out (day and night) and
keep in touch with them as they drift across the living room windows
on the chair lift.
For more photos of the house, bedrooms and community click the
virtual photo tour link below.
We are building 2 very similar homes on the ski slope (1 bigger and
one more economical). If you inquire about any date for this house it
places you on a mailing list for discounted specials and a chance to
book dates at the new houses before they go on-line.

For those of you who are new to town or may have forgotten, former School Superintendent Thomas Jefferson and a School Committee member who no longer lives in town were each charged with violating state ethics laws. The charges involved the authorization of special education funds that permitted the daughter of the former School Committee member to attend a private academy not on the list approved by the state for special education.
Many in the community were upset by this betrayal of the public trust and by the failure of a previous School Committee to deal with the matter.
At special Town Meeting on Oct. 10, 2007, the School Committee was censured by an overwhelming vote. The censure cited extending Jefferson's contract by a year while two years into his three-year contract, and giving Mr. Jefferson a positive job review while the ethics violations were under investigation by state and federal agencies. On April 28, 2010, the Massachusetts Ethics Commission found Jefferson guilty of violating the conflict-of-interest laws and levied the maximum fine. This finding was upheld by the State Superior Courts on appeal by Jefferson.
Stu Sklar, both as a member and Chairman of the School Committee at the time, stood firmly behind the disgraced former superintendant throughout the unfortunate saga. He exercised extremely poor judgement. He failed to speak out against the betrayal of public trust which occured on his watch. Everyone makes mistakes and has the opportunity to learn from them. Stu needs to acknowledge his mistakes and to apologize for them. He must put this matter behind him before he can be considered for yet higher elected office.

Nearly $2,500 raised for causes
The Andover Townsman
---- — Mostly dogs and cats posed with Santa at the Saturday, Dec. 8, event at Andover Animal Hospital on Lowell Street, to raise money for the Salem, N.H. Animal Rescue League.
But when a hedgehog showed up and posed, all heads turned. The hedgehog, named Hank, was a showstopper.
"It was crazy here," laughed Diane Tower, owner of the animal hospital.
Pet owners paid $10 for a photo with Santa and $750 was raised, Tower said.
The hospital also hosted a bake sale to raise money for quadrapalegic Chris Boshar, who was injured after falling from a boat last year. His mother and step-father live in North Andover.
Tower said her hospital is raising money to get Boshar a service dog. She said $1,700 was raised at the bake sale.

Jay & Livermore Falls, Pioneers in Paper Making
Alvin Record and Hugh J. Chisholm were instrumental in building paper mills in Jay, Livermore, and Livermore Falls. The two industrialists helped make the towns prosperous.
In 1893, F.C. Whitehouse of Topsham, who owned paper mills in Topsham and Lisbon Falls, began construction of a third mill on the eastern banks of the Androscoggin River five miles north of Topsham. First, he had to build a dam to harness the river's power.
The paper mill on the Penobscot River in South Brewer, which became known as Eastern Fine Paper Co., began as a sawmill in 1884 and grew over the years as an important part of the economy of the region and a large presence in the landscape. Its closing in 2005 affected more than the men and women who lost their jobs.

After getting stung with a surprising loss in the first round, Vanderbilt is out to prove it's still the team to beat in this year's tournament. But Louisville has put together a strong season of its own and isn't ready for it to come to an end yet.
(2) Vanderbilt vs. 1 Louisville
Hawkins Field, Nashville
Saturday: 3 p.m. (ESPN)
Sunday: 4 p.m. (ESPN)
Monday (if necessary): 7 p.m. (ESPN2)
All times Eastern
The Commodores and Cardinals are quietly becoming one of college baseball's better rivalries, having squared off in the postseason frequently in the past half-decade. Vandy dominates the series, 22-4, including a 10-2 victory in this year's "Battle for the Barrel," but don't think it will be taking Louisville lightly.
This is Vandy's fourth super regional appearance, its last coming in 2011. The 'Dores will be looking to advance to Omaha for only the second time in school history. Louisville has nine trips to the CWS under its belt, the last of which came in '07.
Path to the supers
The Cardinals hosted and won a regional in Louisville, going undefeated in three games over Bowling Green, Miami (Fla.) and Oklahoma State. They used a six-run seventh to down second-seeded Miami, 6-4, on Saturday, passing their biggest test of the early round with flying colors.
The first two games in Nashville went as expected, as Vandy swept aside East Tennessee and Illinois with relative ease. Things got real when the offense fell flat against Georgia Tech and a 5-0 loss gave the 'Dores an unexpected wake-up call. They responded with poise, pulling away from the Yellow Jackets for a 7-1 win in the deciding game.
Ty Young, Jeff Gardner and Coco Johnson all have at least a .330 average, 40 RBI and four home runs. That trio combined for six RBI in the 12-3 regional-clinching win over Oklahoma State.
Vanderbilt is a machine at the plate, leading the SEC in average, slugging percentage, runs and walks. SEC Player of the Year Tony Kemp was a big part of that, hitting .398 on the season.
This series could look more like a track meet than a set of baseball games, as both team are extremely aggressive on the basepaths and love to run. Between them, the two clubs have stolen a gaudy 279 bases. Three Commodores and four Cardinals have at least 20 steals during 2013.
Vandy puts out one of the most formidable one-two starting combos in the country in Tyler Beede and Kevin Ziomek. The 14-0 Beede is the first man out, but Ziomek, who's 11-2, essentially serves as a 1B starter. Both have more than 100 strikeouts on the season. Ziomek made easy work of East Tennessee State last Friday (7 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 5 K), but Beede struggled a bit against Illinois. He lasted only four innings, though only two of the runs credited against him were earned.
Louisville has two starters with double-figures wins in juniors Jeff Thompson and Chad Green, both of whom are hovering in the low-2 range in ERA. Closer Nick Burdi is a beast out of the pen, boasting 15 saves and a 0.82 ERA.
Georgia Tech proved the Commodores can be felled, and Louisville may be able to knock them down once again. Once is the key term there, though. The Cardinals take one of the first two, but Vandy's deep pitching staff grinds them down in Game 3 and the Commodores move on to Omaha.

St-Petersburg, Virtual Tour • 360° Aerial Panorama
Total Views: 1 436 809
We had been preparing for the shooting in St. Petersburg about a year. As early as summer of 2009 I was told that the helicopter excursion tours over the city in St. Petersburg were realized. I easily found the telephone numbers in the Internet and called there one day later.
For a long time we had been testing the equipment, preparing documents, adjusting permits, making contacts with the helicopter operators and, finally, one of our fellows — Dmitry Moiseenko — left for St. Petersburg for a test shooting. Unfortunately, it was raining and he just flew from The Peter and Paul Fortress to Pulkovo Airport. To realize the second test shooting, another photographer — Sergey Semenov — set off. In the beginning it just was dull but later the rain began again. But that time Sergey reached to make several panoramas over a take-off strip.
After that situation I understood that going that way we hardly would finish the shooting soon and decided to phone to a photographer whom I knew and who lived in St. Petersburg in order to find out what was the weather like there. "We are not lucky with sunny days", — I briskly said to the photographer by phone. "Shall we arrive in St. Petersburg and stay at a hotel and just wait when a sunny day comes?"
He answered gloomily: "I'm not sure this is the right way. In this case you may stay at the hotel a couple of months."
I was puzzled. We were not going to stay at the hotel for the couple of months. Then, we decided to conquer St. Petersburg by ruse.
We agreed with the helicopter operators as well as with a couple of our friends and the people whom we knew and who lived in St. Petersburg on as soon as the weather became better there, they would phone us in Moscow and we would take fast all we needed and would immediately leave. Nearly a week later in the morning the first phone call was received. "There is the sun outside our window and, if you hurry up and arrive before lunch time, you can shoot because the rain is forecasted in the afternoon."
But it was impossible because we needed a half of day just to get to St. Petersburg and another half of day to arrange the flight and shooting. We needed the whole day, the whole sunny day. And this is too much for ST. Petersburg! We had been packed and ready to go but we had to wait. The friends made a couple of calls but every time could offer only a half of day and that wasn't satisfied us.
One day, a month later, we were phoned by everyone all together: by friends, people whom we knew and even helicopter operators. "Today is still dripping from the sky but tomorrow... tomorrow you will be happy! Harry up!"
And we got off with a jerk. We had nearly missed our plane. Having come rushing into the check-in area of Vnukovo Airport 35 minutes before the take-off, we knew that there was no way to get tickets for the last plane to St. Petersburg. However, it took us five minutes of negotiations directly with the representative of the UTair Company (we are very grateful to him for that) to get boarding passes with no sits. But our troubles hadn't finished then. We had got two two-meter bars and a bag with different metal things weighted about twenty kilos. And it was important for us to take all those goods in a hand luggage. Widely opened eyes of the security men who were checking the hand luggage didn't show us anything good. And only the personal charm of Sergey Semenov let us not only to pass through the metal detector but also to convince the stewardesses to hide our equipment in their service cabinet on board.
As a result, in the evening we happily and safely arrived in St. Petersburg, slept a night and took a helicopter in the morning. The weather was amazing and it seemed to us that it would always be the same.
We successfully shot and landed near the Peter and Paul Fortress. Our colleagues-photographers were coming there too. They were going to shoot from a huge dirigible named Megaphone. They began to unpack the equipment and prepare the dirigible for the flight. They had been waiting for a good weather more than a month too and that moment they were preparing for the shooting and hoped to compensate the time lost. There were the operators from the First Russian TV-Channel and some other people from television.
By the afternoon we had decided to fly once again because very beautiful small clouds appeared in the sky and the helicopter stood right near us. We flew up again, shot about half an hour and came back to the Peter and Paul Fortress. And there was something unusual in the sky! From the side of the Gulf of Finland a huge cloud was coming closer and closer. It had already covered a half of the city when the second part was shown by the bright sun. The city was divided into two parts like with a front line. The wind rose.
We were landing when the people with the dirigible were finishing their preparations for the flight, but we definitely knew that they wouldn't be able to fly up that day.
That evening we left St. Petersburg accompanying with the sounds of thunder. The big rain drops were pattering on the train's windows but we were not upset anymore — our work had been done. A year of preparation, a month and a half of waiting for a good weather and an hour and a half of the flight over one of the most beautiful cities in Russia — all those were in past.
That was the way how we realized our virtual tour shooting over St. Petersburg.

My wife and I have made three fine visits through Egypt and we LOVED the way in which these visits were organized. We might go again as soon as the political situation in Egypt is calmed down.
Thanks for your help !"

"What a marvelous city, Saint Petersburg. We had just visited on 8-9 May 2012 on a Norwegian Cruise. Toured cathedrals and city life and waterways at night....a great and memorable adventure. We would love to visit again."
