Jackson's physician linked to purchase of propofol
LAS VEGAS — Court documents show police linked a drug blamed in Michael Jackson's death to the pop singer's personal physician who bought it at a Las Vegas pharmacy.
Search warrant records released Friday show that authorities raiding Applied Pharmacy Services on Aug. 11 sought paperwork showing it was the place Dr. Conrad Murray bought several vials of the powerful sedative propofol.
Records show a receipt obtained in a July 28 search of Murray's Las Vegas medical office showed he bought propofol May 12 and administered doses from that purchase to Jackson in the
hours before the singer died June 25.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Wideeyed children around the world will be hearing from Santa's "elves" at the North Pole after all.
All that was ending with a U.S.Postal Service decision to

discontinue the program based in the small Alaskan town amid privacy concerns.
The elves from Santa's Mailbag vowed to fight the decision, while North Pole residents voiced outrage.
A reversal of the Postal Service move was announced Friday.
"We never wanted to spoil people's Christmas," said agency spokesman Ernie Swanson. "It was just a decision we had to make based on privacy concerns, and it is labor-intensive. But it's still nice that we're able to resume this and still make people's holiday"
The letters will now be answered under tightened privacy rules implemented nationwide by the Postal Service in response to security concerns that arose in a similar program in Maryland last year.
