2. JURY AWARDS $12.9 MILLION IN ACCUTANE Suit An Atlantic County jury awarded a total of $12.9 million on Wednesday to three people who developed inflammatory bowel disease after taking the acne medication Accutane as teenagers. Since 1984, manufacturer Hoffman-LaRoche Inc., with headquarters in Nutley, has included a reference to bowel problems in Accutane’s instructions to prescribing doctors, but the suits claimed the company should have made the warnings stronger and also should have given warnings to users of the drug. The jury award consisted of $12.5 million in pain, suffering and disability and the remainder in future medical expenses. Source dailybriefing@njsba-njldailybriefing.com Daily Briefing 11-21-08

3. CUMBERLAND CO. HIT WITH $1.5 MILLION VERDICT FOR ROAD INJURIES A jury handed up a $1.5 million verdict for an injured motorcyclist on Wednesday, holding Cumberland County liable for failure to repair a dangerous road condition. Plaintiff Eugene Williams, of Bridgeton, hit a

damaged section of a heavily wooded road in rural Downe Township at dusk and crashed to the ground, sliding almost a hundred feet and sustaining a closed head injury, ruptured spleen, lacerated liver and other wounds. The plaintiff's proofs showed the county had actual notice of the road's condition, having made several temporary but ineffective repairs over the prior three years.

7. Holly Jolly Christmas lyrics

Have a holly, jolly Christmas,It's the best time of the yearI don't know if there'll be snow,But have a cup of cheer.

Have a holly, jolly Christmas,And when you walk down the street,Say "Hello" to friends you knowAnd everyone you meet.

Oh, Ho, the mistletoe,Hung where you can see,Somebody waits for you,Kiss her once for me.

Have a holly, jolly Christmas,And in case you didn't hear,Oh by golly, have a holly,Jolly Christmas this year.by Johnny Marks
