Despite a few rather notable exceptions, I've found I'm not a big crier.
I have nothing against it, mind you. I think tears are rather good for your skin, and they can be rather poetic and lovely and necessary, like when Emma Thompson totally loses it at the end of Sense and Sensibility.
It's just not my thing, I guess (come to think of it, it wasn't Elinor's either, was it?). I don't conceal my emotions: they are apparent to everyone. But more often than not, they choose to present themselves not through tears but rather through sarcasm, weird facial expressions, and an insatiable hunger for cookies.

- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease and line a 20 x 30cm baking tray with baking parchment. Put the dates and milk in a small pan and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and set aside for 15 mins to cool.
- Whizz the date mixture to a smooth purée in a food processor or blender, then scrape into a large mixing bowl. Tip in the butter, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, eggs, mixed spice and vanilla, and set aside while you prepare the apples.
- Quarter and core the apples, then slice quite thinly, tossing in a little lemon juice as you go. Quickly beat together the cake ingredients with an electric whisk until smooth, then scrape into the baking tray. Arrange the apple slices, overlapping in rows, on top of the cake – you should be able to get 3 rows lengthways down the tray. Bake for 45-50 mins until a skewer poked into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the tray.
- Put the toffees in a small pan with a good splash of milk and gently melt, stirring, until runny. To finish, dust with a little icing sugar, then drizzle sauce all over the cake. Cut into squares or slices to serve.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, November 2011
Comments, questions and tips
Apple is my love.It must be yum =)
This was OK. I found it quite hard to eat as you would take a bite and end up dragging a load of apple off the top of the cake leaving what remained a little dull. If I were to make again I would either peel the apples or maybe chop them up and add them to the cake batter. I made a sticky toffee pudding sauce to serve with it and also served it with a dollop of creme friache which was nice. I wouldn't make it again as Ottolenghi's apple cake with maple cream cheese frosting is a similar but MUCH nicer cake.
This is just fantastic! Really moist, not too sweet and totally delicious even without the toffee sauce. It took much longer to cook than the recipe said - more like 1hr 20 mins (my oven is a bit pants but even allowing for that it would have been more like an hour) but was worth it. I didn't chop the dates at all but left them to soften in the warm milk for ages. They whizzed up really nicely, and the cake had a few chunks of date that actually worked really well.
My one minor criticism is that the toffee flavour is quite subtle - I might experment with half dark brown sugar, half light brown sugar next time. I'll definitely be making this again.

Pros: Clear bass, excellent build. Lively presentation.
Cons: Overly bright. Synthetic sound.
Very good headphones if you want something fun, lively and bassy. I was really impressed at first but with time I started to notice the short comings. Although relatively open sounding the sound is quite synthetic, almost forced. They do not give an accurate representation of the material listened to but that is not to say they do not give an enjoyable performance. Bass is well defined and lively, maybe too lively.
If you are after some 'truth' in your closed back headphones then I would steer clear of these. If you are looking for something fun then I would recommend giving these a try!

great thought. some of us are right there...but the only recourse we have is to disassociate. voting with your wallet and alla that. some of us are yearning for a better Superman. i see one clearly in this issue and it gives hope for one emerging under Morrison's hand.
emphasis yours. so glad you enlisted the possessive 'HIS.'I think he's saying that this is what HIS Superman is going to GROW into it.
[speculative]could you imagine a greater obstacle in accomplishing this task holistically with a possible Lobdell-penned Superman solo title?[/speculative]
some great input Desaad. greatly enjoyed your contribution to this discussion. aside from the pure resonance this issue gave me on almost every level (emotionally, rationally, aesthetically), Morrison's transcendent ability to leverage DC's IP as myth and commentary to evoke an almost embarrassingly savvy portion of his reader base toward heady and constructive thought just fills me with an almost-mirth.
comics done right?

Olympic tips Sequim in 3 sets
Published on Wed, Oct 21, 2009 by
Michael Dashiell
Read More
Consider it the calm before the storm.
After a three-set loss to Olympic on Oct. 13 and facing some of the top teams in the state last weekend at the Capital City Tournament in Olympia, Sequim's Wolves are facing their easiest part of the season schedule.
That's not particularly
good news, however, as Sequim faces the four worst teams in the league to conclude the regular season before heading to the West Central District playoffs, said Wolves' coach Jennie Webber Heilman.
Weaker teams won't help Sequim for the playoffs, the Wolves' leader said.
"It's nice we got to play Kennedy and Interlake for our nonleague (games)," Webber Heilman said, noting the tough matches the Wolves saw earlier this season. "(But) we need to make sure we beat these guys in three games. We're going to have to choose to work hard at practice."
Sequim (6-2 in league, 7-3 overall) is all but assured of the Olympic League's top 2A seed heading into the district tournament, set for Nov. 6-7 at Franklin Pierce High School in Tacoma.
There, the Wolves and five other teams battle for two spots to the state 2A tournament.
Webber Heilman noted that with Fife, the No. 5 team in the 2A ranks, lurking on
the Nisqually side, it'll be a battle for those two spots.
Sequim got a tough test from a 3A school last week, as Olympic topped the Wolves 25-17, 25-20 and 26-24 in Silverdale on Oct. 13.
Monica Phinney had 13 kills while Sam Thornton added nine kills and Chelasea Brustad added 28 assists for the victorious hosts. Olympic moved ahead of the Wolves for second place before a showdown with North Kitsap later in the week (North Kitsap won, three sets to one, on Oct. 15).
Jessica Lauritzen had five kills and Lindsey Soha was 15-of-16 serving with two aces.
But the Wolves had a tough time with a couple of players missing from their roster and a finger injury to senior Caitlin Pallai early in the match.
"They had some tough serving and we weren't passing well in the beginning," Webber Heilman said. "In the third game I thought we were going to beat them."
Replacing Pallai late in the third set, freshman Haleigh Harrison sparked a comeback that just fell short.
"Another day, we would have not lost in three (sets)," Webber Heilman said.
On Oct. 17, Sequim took on some of the best schools in the state at the Capital City Tournament. Sequim didn't place but got good experience, Webber Heilman said, against teams such as Central Kitsap and Selah.
Olympia won its own tourney, topping Selah 25-21 and 27-25 in the final.
Sequim was scheduled to play at winless Klahowya on Oct. 20 - results were unavailable at press time. The Wolves are at Kingston on Oct. 22 before two home matches to cap the 2009 campaign: Oct. 27 versus Port Townsend and Oct. 29 against North Mason.
Sequim beat North Mason, the defending Olympic League champion, in three sets on Sept. 10, the season-opener.
"North Mason has gotten better," Webber Heilman said. "That might be a pretty good game."

I began taking this product about 2 months ago for a bad knee and I saw a tremendous improvement withing 10 days. By the time I got through the first bottle I noticed a 90% improvement in my hip that my medical doctor suggested I see an orthopedic surgeon for. I was very surprised in the hip improvement and the pain in it was so great that when changing positions during the night the pain would wake me up. The second bottle I tried was a new formula containing Uvestin and this did not do anything. In fact, it was as if I had never taken anything. I went back to the first formula and have bought up a 2 years supply because its getting hard to find.

Comments about Flex-A-Min Glucosamine Chondroitin Plus Vitamin D, Triple Strength, Coated Tablets, 180 ea:
This is by far a great product. For several months I have been experiencing pain in my knees due years of teaching aerobics, running and now an advid dancer. I noticed that it got worse when I had a bad fall last year. I have gone to the Dr and they said I had bad arthritis in both of my knees and if I didnt stop dancing it will get worse. Well I do not listen and I follow my own rules, so I decided to limit my dancing. But that means I might have well died. So I decided to try this product after I tried Move Free(which did not work that well) This is a wonder pill. I take two in the morning and I feel like I am walking on air. Now I am not going to say that its 100% and no more pain. Nope not going to do it. But I will give it 90% of moving freely, because after 3-4 hours of dancing I want to cut my knees off, but the very next day of taking these pills and of course rest, feeling fine like wine. And being in my mid 40's I need all the help I can get.

Yucky smell/taste

This has a horrible smell and "taste" going in the mouth and down the throat. Yyuk!

Twice daily - 2 pills each time
Why did they change the ingredients
By Chatty Kathy
from Chandler, AZ
I used to love this product and for some reason they have changed the ingredients and it now has "joint flex". I don't really know what that is but now the pills smell and taste bad. I no longer want to use this and really would like my money back. I'm not sure if they are still effective as I haven't been able to get past the smell and take them daily like I used to.
Cumulative effect, but does work
By Glamgirl1
from Alabama
describe yourself Both Knees Have Arthritis, Health Conscious
I used to have knee shots to help with the pain and lubrication of both my knees, no more. This product works, but be patient it is a cumulative effect. It took about 2 weeks for it to work. Well worth the effort and time. Tastes a bit funny, like flowers, but not bad. I take 2 a day after a meal with lots of water.
Joint pain improved quickly
By Sherry
from Chicago
describe yourself First Time User, Health Conscious
I workout 4 days a week doing cardio and weight training. My knees began to hurt when I performed squats and lunges. (I'm WAY to young for knee pain.) After 3 days of using this product, I had no knee pain.
Best I've used
By Phil

The triple strength two a day formula has offeredme more relief than the three a day formula I was using.
Good product, reasonable price
By Ride a Horse
from Livermore, ME
describe yourself First Time User
I have DJD in my spine, arthritis in my fingers and a knee that's starting to go. This product helps relieve some of the swelling and pain in my joints and keeps my back from getting tight.
This works, period!
By DSW
from USA
Flexamin works. I don't run out of this product. I dance ballroom for recreation and do challenge-level Zumba for aerobic fitness. This product keeps my joints in great shape, no pain at all. If I have run out, I'll notice a difference. Alot of ballroom dancers use glucosamine/chondroitin.
Flex-A-Min triple strength and good
By ATC1948
from Delaware
describe yourself Health Conscious, Older active person
I take two tablets each morning and my joints feel better.
For adults, take 2 tablets daily, preferably with a meal. Take this product with plenty of fluids. For best results, take the full dosage of Flex-a-min daily, on a continual basis.
Store at room temperature.

Some people with cancer may want to know the survival rates for their type of cancer. Others may not find the numbers helpful, or may even not want to know them. Whether or not you want to read about survival rates is up to you. If you decide that you don't want to know them, stop reading here and skip to the next section.
The 5-year survival rate refers to the percent of patients who live at least 5 years after their cancer is found. Of course, many people live much longer than 5 years (and many are cured). Also, people with anal cancer may die of something else. These rates, known as observed survival rates, don't take that into account.
In order to get 5-year survival rates, doctors have to look at people who were treated at least 5 years ago. Better treatment since then may result in a better outlook for people now being treated for anal cancer.
The following numbers come from the National Cancer Data Base and are based on cancers found between 1998 and 1999. The National Cancer Database divides anal cancers based on how the cells look under the microscope (squamous cell cancers and non-squamous cell cancers) as well as by stage.
5-year observed survival for anal cancer | ||
Stage |
Squamous cancers |
Nonsquamous cancers |
71% |
59% |
64% |
53% |
48% |
38% |
43% |
24% |
21% |
7% |
While these numbers give an overall picture, keep in mind that every person is different. Statistics can't predict what will happen in your case. Talk with your cancer care team if you have questions about your own chances of a cure, or how long you might survive your cancer. They know your situation best.

The Hidden Hills of the South - Strong Plus
Sunday 11th November at 9.00am This is what time the ride will set off. It's best to get to the starting point at least 15 minutes beforehand to avoid missing the start.
Cycling time | Ride distance | Suitable for | Distance from me | Ride level |
140 Mins | 30 Miles | Adults 16+ only Not all rides are suitable for everyone. This will tell you if the ride is suitable for you and/or your friends and family. | ? Miles |
- Starting Point & Postcode
- Marston Green station car parks (there is one either side of the station), car park on Elmdon Lane, off Land Lane, South of the rail station Bickenhill B37 7EQ
- Overall Duration On a long ride, it's sometimes good to have a little break in the middle, or maybe a catch up at the beginning or end to keep it sociable. This means that the overall ride duration may be longer than the actual cycling time.
- 3 hours 0 mins (2 hours 20 mins cycling)

Challenging rides on the road for adults only
If you've been riding a road bike for a while, and perhaps been thinking about joining a cycling club, these rides – brand new for 2012 – are for you. The prospect of a speedy pace over twenty to fifty miles, and the strong likelihood of some hills thrown in along the way, means our Ride Strong Plus rides are not for the faint-hearted.
This 30 mile circular route starts and finishes at Sheldon Park and follows quiet country roads around the delightful Grand Union and Stratford-upon-Avon canals. Along the way you'll pass Birmingham Airport and perhaps see planes thundering overhead. Then there's the pretty town of Knowle, The National Trust's Tudor Packwood House, the ancient woodland of Hay Wood, and fishing lakes and riverside sights of Blythe Waters. The terrain is fairly easy going but there are two steep climbs about halfway through the ride which might catch you by surprise!
If you've already tried one of our Ride Strong Plus rides and you're ready for the next challenge, why not try a British Cycling Sportive?
Additional Information
As these are adult only rides, designed for cyclists progressing from the standard Ride Strong level, the pace of the ride could increase to 15mph at the discretion of the Ride Leader.
Helmets must be worn by all under 18's regardless of ride level.
Please bring equipment with you to repair punctures, Ride Leaders are there to help but are not responsible for your bike.

Thursday Game Notes
(The Word Press page for this article can be found here)
The Twins had a day off at home on Thursday, probably something they really needed. Tonight, Carlos Silva returns to the Metrodome and will get to face a calmed Francisco Liriano. It should be a fun game to watch. But the six minor league affiliates all played, and here are the game notes from each. Also, LaVelle posted several Minor League notes on his blog.
Thursday was a busy night here on the site as I posted several blog entries. Here is the update:
Obviously it is a big day for the 2008 draft class. August 15th is the last day that teams can sign their 2008 picks without losing them. That is why the Twins signed two guys Thursday night. It will be interesting to see if they sign any others.

This week's WHERE THE HELL AM I topic covers something particularly important for aspiring writers who want to tell long-form stories: Always know how your story ends before you begin to write it.
Full article here.
I don't know about anyone else, but I can't start with an outline in my head. I have to start actually writing out scenes, whether in sequence or not, before I can really start to figure out what my story is. After I have a few pages of scenes written out, then I'll go back and create an outline.
I tend to not know where my own stories are heading until I start writing, so it's hard to outline beforehand.
I actually have stories play out in my head, work out the ending and key arcs, THEN start writing. I definitely need to work on my use of outlines.
I love writing outlines. To me it's like writing a part of a history for a text book and I've always loved reading history. Favorite subject in school.

More great advice, Mr. Aaron! I can`t tell you how much I enjoy reading this column. From the little writing I have done I find that I have been following this formula of structuring and outlining pretty closely. I usually find it best by starting at the end and then filling in the important scenes or tent poles that the rest of the structure will be built around. Accurate planning saves so much time and frustration. Thank you for sharing what you`ve learned once more!
Man, all I can do is write outlines. I love writing outlines. The more detailed the better. It's so funny how opposite I am to you.
Grr. Argh.
I don't agree with this advice. Everyone has a different approach to writing, and many famous writers habitually start stories with no idea how they turn out. For myself, some stories have an ending and some don't until I get there. Actually, not having an ending in mind can make the whole process much more exciting.

Full review
The Freelander 2 is often regarded as the runt of the Land Rover litter, but it's a car that has earned its stripes as the company's biggest-selling model by some margin. It's no surprise, then, that Land Rover has attempted to capitalise on the car's successes by rolling out a newly updated model for 2011, which features a raft of improvements.
This time around, the Freelander 2 gets upgraded engines, better performance, a slight exterior facelift and -- for the first time in the company's history -- the option of a two-wheel-drive transmisison, which puts it head to head with so-called crossover vehicles such as the Nissan Qashqai. The 2011 Freelander 2 is available from a starting price of £22,000 for the 2WD version, with the 4WD version costing £23,000.
Ch-ch-ch changes
The new Freelander 2 boasts relatively minor cosmetic changes. It has a new front bumper and grille, tweaked headlamps and rear lights, more body-coloured parts, newly designed wheels and a slightly tweaked Land Rover logo. Casual onlookers will find it difficult to tell it apart from the old car, but that's not such a bad thing, as the previous model was quite the looker.
Models models models
The 2011 Freelander 2 is available in five separate guises. There are three automatic options: the high-end i6, which is powered by a 3.2-litre straight six engine that sips on unleaded petrol; and two diesels -- the mid-range SD4 190PS Auto 4WD and the slightly less powerful TD4 150PS Auto 4WD. Land Rover has also made available a couple of cars with manual gearboxes, both of which are diesel-powered: the TD4 150PS Manual 4WD and -- most crucially for Land Rover -- the eD4 150PS Manual, which is the company's first mass-produced two-wheel-drive car.
Two. Bye, four
A two-wheel-drive Land Rover may sound like total blasphemy, but it's a decision the company believes makes total financial and environmental sense. Land Rovers are frequently berated by tree-huggers for their apparent propensity to choke the environment with carbon dioxide emissions, but by providing an option that is driven by the front wheels only, as opposed to all four wheels, the 2WD Freelander 2 is inherently kinder to the environment. As such, it should appeal to all those motorists who are considering buying a crossover vehicle -- a large car that looks like, and performs some of the functions of, a 4x4.
Fantasy fuel
The 2WD Freelander 2, dubbed the eD4, delivers official fuel economy figures of 47.2 miles per gallon (mpg) -- a record for any Land Rover vehicle. During our time with the car, it indicated an average of 7.1g of fuel for every 100km driven, which we calculate to be 40.23mpg. That's not as high as Land Rover claims (better economy would likely be achieved had we not driven like hooligans) but it's still an improvement on the 38.2mpg achieved by the 2.2-litre TD4e manual configuration claimed on the previous car.
Kamikaze emissions
The 2WD Freelander 2 eD4 is also the cleanest Land Rover ever. Land Rover has fitted the manual version with an updated stop-start system, which stops the engine whenever the vehicle reaches a standstill, and fires it up again when the driver lifts the clutch to pull away. In the old car, the restart process took 900ms, but this new car is 30 per cent quicker to react, restarting in just 700ms.
All the previous gubbins required to engage the rear wheels is no longer required. As a result, the total weight of the eD4 has dropped by 75kg. The upshot is reduced carbon emissions of 158g/km. It's not clean by Prius standards, but it's an improvement on the old Freelander 2, which had emissions of 165g/km. Sadly, the new model isn't green enough to slip into a lower road-tax band, but it should placate tree-huggers who want to do their bit for the environment.
Handle with flair
We're no strangers to the handling prowess of the Freelander 2. Make no mistake, the previous model was a proper off-roader, offering formidable performance whether running on tarmac or driving through a river. Unsurprisingly, the updated 2011 4WD models performed magnificently. We tested the 4WD cars for several hundred kilometres on a variety of roads in Barcelona, and they coped just as well as we expected, cruising effortlessly on the motorway and making mincemeat of Land Rover's off-road handling circuit.
The 2WD Freelander 2 eD4 is arguably better than its 2WD counterpart on the road. It feels lighter and more agile, and cruises just as well at speed. It's a bit of a faff having to change gear when you encounter traffic, but on the whole, we're hugely impressed with its road manners.
A 2WD? Off road?
The 2WD car is fantastic on the road but is also surprisingly capable away from tarmac. We put it through its paces on the same rigorous off-road circuit as we did the 4WD models, and it coped perfectly well. It may sound difficult to believe, but we challenged it to a wide gamut of terrains including gravel, grass and dirt, and drove it up and down sheer drops -- and it barely batted an eyelid. We even drove it through a 70ft stretch of bonnet-high water and it didn't give us the merest hint that it might get stuck -- it simply got on with the task at hand.
That's not to say the 2WD model is without its flaws. Traversing steep hills in the 4WD model barely warrants a second thought, but with the 2WD model, you'll have to keep your wits about you. We saw some road-testers get stuck on the steepest sections of the off-road test course, but those who floored the throttle relentlessly and trusted the car's traction control systems to do all the work found the 2WD car just as capable as its 4WD counterpart.
We suspect the 2WD model may struggle a little in icy conditions, or when going up damp, mud-covered hills, but for the most part, it's a fantastic off-roader that'll go places most of us wouldn't dare drive.
Competitor analysis
The 2WD Freelander 2 eD4 is designed to claw back some market share from increasingly popular crossover vehicles -- those that are built on a car platform, but are styled to resemble larger sports-utility vehicles -- and on paper, it should do so with ease. The eD4 compares favourably with the closest equivalent Nissan Qashqai, the five-door hatchback 2.0 16V manual 2WD. The Nissan gets marginally better economy and emissions (47.9mpg and 155g/km of CO2 versus the eD4's 47.2mpg and 158g/km) but we know which one we'd trust if we found ourselves halfway up a mountain.
Tech two
The new Freelander features the same Alpine audio system option as the previous car. That's not necessarily a good thing. It features iPod and aux connectivity, and it's certainly loud enough, but it lacks the audio quality we've come to expect from the more expensive sets in the luxurious Range Rover.
One thing that wasn't a disappointment was the car's sat-nav. It's carried over from the previous Freelander 2, but that's excellent news, because the system really is a joy to use. The only complaint in this area, if we had one, would be the fact the Freelander 2 lacks the fancy virtual instruments and dual-view entertainment display seen in the Range Rover and Jaguar XJ.
The Land Rover Freelander 2 has always been a fantastic machine both on and off road. The addition of a two-wheel-drive model might worry purists, but the good news is that it'll go almost anywhere you dare point it. It's rewarding to drive, refined and makes a great alternative to two-wheel-drive crossovers such as the Nissan Qashqai.

Six teens on a quiet camping retreat are forced to fight for their lives after a mysterious virus transforms the local birds into monstrous flying predators capable of spreading a highly contagious plague and killing every human in their line of flight. Later escaping from the woods into a secure military bunker on the outskirts of town, the teens attempt to draw up a workable escape plan with the help of some scheming local survivors. But the birds have spread their virus throughout the nearby town, rendering escape without infection virtually impossible. Though they have enough supplies to stay safely put for the time being, it won't be long before a desperate situation calls for desperate measures, and the group must venture outside to confront a winged menace that may well be a flying harbinger of the apocalypse. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Chelsea Therapeutics restructures to save Northera
- Tweet
- Share this
(Reuters) - Chelsea Therapeutics International Ltd said it plans to "significantly reduce" its workforce and explore strategic options, barely a week after the U.S. health regulator asked for an additional trial to approve its hypotension drug Northera.
The company also said Chief Executive Simon Pedder and Chairman Kevan Clemens have stepped down from their positions. Joseph Oliveto, the company's vice president of operations, will serve as interim CEO.
The biopharmaceutical company has been struggling to get its lead drug Northera approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration after it was rejected in March.
The company had hoped that a modified proposal, using data from its ongoing 306B study, would be enough to pitch the drug for approval again. But the FDA turned down that plan earlier this month, and sought an additional trial.
Though the company said Tuesday it will evaluate additional study designs required to support marketing authorization, it could still be betting on the 306B study to convince regulators.
"To me it seems like ... the cost-cutting is to extend the cash runway long enough to see if the 306B trial data is good enough to submit," Wedbush Securities analyst Liana Moussatos said.
Data from the 306B study should be out by the year end, as the company said it plans to stop patient enrolment in July.
Chelsea ended the January-March quarter with $51.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and had said in June, after an earlier round of cost cuts, that it expected to have a cash balance of $18 million to $20 million at the end of the year.
The Charlotte, North Carolina-based company, which had 49 employees as of March 2, did not specify the number of jobs it would cut.
The job cuts are expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2012 and should result in annual salary reductions of at least $3.5 million, excluding any one-time restructuring charges.
Chelsea developed Northera as a treatment for symptomatic neurogenic orthostatic hypotension, or a chronic drop in blood pressure on standing up that is most often associated with Parkinson's disease.
The drug has an orphan designation that is assigned by the FDA to medicines that target a population of less than 200,000 and gives the company a marketing exclusivity of seven years from the approval date.
This niche market may make Chelsea an attractive takeover candidate for pharmaceutical giants, including Pfizer Inc and Sanofi SA, according to analyst Moussatos.
"Orphan drugs are very profitable and popular now in the pharmaceutical industry, so I don't think they would have too much trouble finding someone, especially with their current market capitalization," she said.
The company had a market capitalization of $83.1 million as of July 9.
Chelsea said it is evaluating all available strategic options to determine the best path forward.
The statement comes days after its largest shareholder urged the company to explore alternatives, citing the Northera-related setbacks.
To tighten its focus on Northera, Chelsea said it will keep only those employees that are necessary to gain approval for the drug. Accordingly, the company's vice president, marketing and sales, Keith Schmidt will leave the company.
Two other directors, Norman Hardman and Johnson Lau, will leave the board and Chelsea said new candidates considered would include any put forth by its stockholders.
Chelsea has not said whether the corporate reorganization would delay or speed up the drug's resubmission.
In June, the company said it would resubmit its marketing application by the first quarter of 2012 and expected a decision by late third quarter 2014.
Chelsea's shares, which rose as much as 5 percent in pre-market trading, were down 14 percent at $1.06 Tuesday morning on the Nasdaq.

Journalist Nicholas Spangler wrote in The Miami Herald, "He calls to mind Michelangelo's David, with a mission from a more swinging time." He was referring to Don Bailey, the naked carpet guy you've noticed on the billboard driving down I-95.
When we ran a poll in 2009 to find out the question our readers most wanted answered, you chose the bronzed, scantily clad Don stretched out on a burgundy shag.
The picture is an ad for Don Bailey Carpets, but the idea came from an iconic photograph from 1972 where Burt Reynolds posed for Cosmopolitan magazine in the same state of undress. It was believed to be the first male centerfold. The picture of Reynolds sold out at newsstands in a matter of days, but Bailey's flooring ad is still with us. Maybe carpet is still sexy?
Update: Two weeks ago, Don Bailey posed for another photo shoot. Soon his delivery trucks will display the classic portrait on one side and the new photos on the other. "I still look pretty," Don said

http://www.stl-jacksons.com This vibrant bar and restaurant located on Dogtown's southern cusp touts its atmosphere, and for good reason. Nestled between nondescript buildings on a particularly bland stretch of Manchester's industrial section, JackSon's bright exterior alone warrants a second glance, with its ornately crafted neon sun light and welcoming patio. Upon stepping inside, appropriately dim lighting accentuates a long bar with lacquered wood trim, wall-spanning murals and a wooden statue of what appears to be a pirate -- or maybe a castaway. As for the food: Andy and Dave Dalton opened JackSons' in honor of their late father, Jack, a south-city tavernkeeper, and chef Vince Anderson does a fine job keeping things basic. Dad would be especially proud of the two-inch-thick New York strip, which weighs in at nearly a full pound. Beef fillet in pan jus is another winner. Appetizers and pizza are available in the bar area until late-night -- perfect for fueling up during JackSon's weekly college night or during a performance by one of the many local bands that takes the stage here.

http://www.jazzstl.org/jazz-at-the-bistro/ Jazz at the Bistro is the main performance venue for the nonprofit Jazz St. Louis, but it's also a classic jazz club that frequently appears on lists of the best of its type in the country. A low-key, medium-size room where you can literally dine with the performers, the Bistro features multiple night stands by some of the hottest names in instrumental and vocal jazz -- and complements the music with a delicious menu and a tempting wine list. Performers rave about the good acoustics; patrons will be pleased with the equally good sightlines. More >>
http://www.jeffersonbistro.com Located just north of Chippewa Street in south city, Jefferson Avenue Bistro caters to the bar crowd and anyone looking for a cheap, quick bite to eat. There's plenty of seating inside and a small front patio for warm-weather days. For breakfast, Jefferson Avenue Bistro serves up the staples: omelets, pancakes, and eggs. Lunch and dinner bring pizza, burritos, sandwiches and burgers, including a Mexican burger featuring onions, cheese, jalapeños, peppers, crushed red pepper, salsa and sour cream. More >>
http://www.jeffersonwarehouse.com The Jefferson Warehouse is a newer addition to Fox Park on (wait for it) Jefferson Avenue. The venue, art gallery and bar features live music Tuesday through Saturday, with a range of acts from experimental post-punk to the mellowest acoustic folk. Owner Tony LaBarbera has offered his club to any local artists, whether they're newbies looking to cut their teeth in St. Louis' booming music scene or established acts needing new inspiration. There's a limited menu of concession fare, including hot dogs and nachos, so sit back and enjoy the show. More >>
http://www.jimmyscafe.com For nine years Jimmy's has served the tiny business district along DeMun with lunches, brunches and dinners. Now an adjacent bistro room offers a funkier feel and a light, streamlined menu of appetizers, salads, and grilled pizzas. Meanwhile, the café keeps on with its country-club look and ample selection of entrées. Two flash-fried starters -- the spinach, and fettuccine sticks -- continue to put smiles on diners' faces, and tenderloin Anthony (an eight-ounce cut topped with Gorgonzola, Brie and grilled shrimp) is an admirable study in excess. Desserts, though by no means daring, are delicious. More >>
http://www.jjsclubhouse.com/index.htm Tucked away in a dimly lit building under a highway close to the Grove strip, JJ's Clubhouse has the feel of a hideout -- or at least an insiders' secret playland. The city's resident all-gay male "bear leather" bar offers pool, popcorn and pinball, and the friendly bartenders, adorned in strapping bondage vests, are always happy to pour their specialty shot of "Kactus Juice." Special weekly events include dart night and butch night, in which patrons come dressed in their best. Who knows? You could get lucky and stumble into JJ's during their annual HiBearNation convention, in which the downstairs dance floor is flooded with cheery Bears from all across the nation. If that statement incites fear, JJ's might not be the place for you. JJ's is a friendly bar for males with an open mind, and if you're up for that, it guarantees a gay old time. More >>
http://www.joaniespizzeria.com Joanie's Pizzeria serves up a variety of Italian options. Appetizers include T-ravs -- available with meat or spinach-artichoke, pizzas with thin, thick or double crust, and a large sandwich menu, which includes standard deli sandwiches and specialties (the Soulard muffalata, for example, contains Genoa salami, Bavarian ham, mozzarella, roasted peppers and antipasto relish). After their meal, sports fans can catch the free shuttle to Cards and Rams games. During nice weather, the large patio opens. More >>
Snuggled in the quaint French-inflected suburb of Old Town Florissant, Joe's Pub is a place with its *coeur* on its sleeve. This bar is teeming with a friendly crowd that's equal parts college students, sports fanatics and motorcycle enthusiasts. Joe's has an unusual level of extroversion: A surprising number of its regulars are thrilled to strike up a chat with newcomers. If you love beer-pong tournaments, conversations about upgrading your Harley and raucous karaoke -- and you don't mind wall-to-wall smoke -- Joe's has a cold one and some warm friends waiting for you.

http://www.jpfields.com John P. Fields matches its bar atmosphere with a menu of pub grub. Options include gravy cheese fries, potato skins and fried pickles. There's also a "mini" menu with mini burgers (a.k.a. sliders) and mini chili dogs. Heartier meals include burgers, sandwiches and wraps. More >>
http://www.charliegittos.com The Gitto family name in St. Louis is synonymous with Italian food. Please note, however, that Johnny's is a jewel of a different cut from Charlie's. The menu features familiar Italian food, including salads, pastas, pizza, and risotto, but this River Des Peres outpost is better known for late night libations and wall-to-wall crowds. At around 10 p.m., Johnny Gitto's turns into one of those curious institutions that we call "a 3 a.m." Those showing up after midnight will find loud music, and St. Louisians of all stripes vying for their chance to shine on the karaoke stage. Designated driver beware: Johnny's does have parking, but as the night wears on, finding a spot is tricky indeed. More >>
http://www.rivercity.com The "velvet lounge" part of Judy's Velvet Lounge is no understatement: The lush, colorful fabric covers everything from the ceiling to the bar. More cabaret than tavern, this oasis in the middle of River City Casino is one of only two bars inside the actual casino area. It's the perfect place for weary gamblers to take a break and enjoy their drinks in comfy, velvet-wrapped (of course!) swivel chairs. Large TVs line the walls, while one huge screen hangs down in front of the stage, making it almost impossible to miss that big game. Entertainment (including St. Louis favorites Well Hungarians, Big Bad VooDoo Daddy and various DJs) performs weekends on the oversized stage at the back of the large circular room. The circular theme plays out throughout the space, including the mirror in the middle of the ceiling and the massive chandelier above the entrance, giving the space a unified and luxurious feel. The all-white, well-lit bar stretches across almost the entire length of the second level above the stage/dance floor area, attracting video poker enthusiasts who like to have it all: drinks at hand, sports on TV and their game at their fingertips. More >>
http://www.thejumpinjupiter.com The brand-spankin' new Jumpin' Jupiter is St. Louis' first and only neo-supper club--inspired by the cabarets of old, the Jupiter offers burlesque, freak shows, and live music. Manager Ryan Callahan uses the Tropicana from I Love Lucy as an example of what they're going for. "You'd have a seat, you'd have a show, there was a stage, there was a house band. It was reliable every single time. Over the past 40 years, we've degraded into chaos -- we stopped having a high expectation of good food and entertainment." More >>
http://www.chunksofmeat.com Located in the heart of Overland at the intersection of Woodson and Midland, Just Bill's Place is a bar / music venue / excellent place to people-watch. The mix of local regulars and show-goers can make for a pretty interesting scene at times, especially on Fridays and Saturdays when local metal promotional group Chunks of Meat typically books shows. Coin-op pool tables provide a meeting ground of mutual respect for both groups, though the oft-crowded bar itself is where you're most likely to bump elbows with someone you don't know. The small-ish stage is set back in a room that could comfortably hold 100 people and could pack in 200 when necessary -- which is more often than one might expect. More >>
http://www.justjohnsclub.com Just John is one of the friendlier gay spots in town. The bar itself is massive, located in the Forest Park area with two expansive patios, an outdoor bar and a stage for karaoke, drag shows and special events. We're not heterophobic by any means, but we're ready to swear off karaoke at straight bars forever after witnessing the Thursday night frivolity at Just John's. Make sure to look closely at the guy sitting next to you: He just might be a well-known drag queen, undercover on his night off in jeans and a baseball cap. More >>

• Weather info: Forecast, road conditions, parking regulations, local reminders
• What's closed?: Updated list of closings and cancellations
• Photos: Blizzard slams Omaha
• Maps: OPPD power outages – MidAmerican power outages
* * * *
Omaha utility crews continued to make progress Friday toward completely repairing downed and damaged power lines in the aftermath of this week's powerful winter storm.
In a statement Friday, the Omaha Public Power District said utility crews were working around the clock to restore power to nearly everyone by Friday night. The amount of storm damage, though, made it likely that workers wouldn't completely finish until early Saturday.
As of Friday afternoon, about 2.500 Omaha-area homes and businesses remained without power — and that number was steadily dropping throughout the morning.
The outstanding outages represented roughly one-quarter of the 41,000 OPPD customers who lost power at the peak of Wednesday's blizzard or its related problems.
Most of the remaining outages were in northwest Douglas County.
Many of them affected individual homes, where "repairs take longer as it often involves removal of debris and restringing of wires," OPPD said in a statement. "If your neighbors have power but you do not, that may mean your problem is with your individual service and your restoration will take longer."
To help those without power, the American Red Cross opened a shelter in Omaha, at Columbus Park Community Center, where volunteers were prepared for as many as 150 people. More than two hours after it opened Thursday night, however, one man had arrived. The Red Cross closed the shelter Friday morning.
Even Omaha neighborhoods with underground power lines lost power. Paula Lukowski, an OPPD spokeswoman, said those areas weren't immune because they're fed by above-ground lines at some point.
Iowa had about 9,000 customers without power Friday morning. Most of the outages were in Des Moines. MidAmerican Energy Co. brought in 100 to 200 additional workers to help restore power. Three customers remained in the dark in Council Bluffs.
Omaha police said Friday morning that they were again responding to property damage vehicle accidents. Officers had stopped handling all collisions during the storm so they could focus primarily on accidents that caused injuries, those involving disabled vehicles or vehicles that blocked traffic.
Across the region, crews worked to dig the Midlands out of its worst snowstorm in nearly two years.
The blizzard stretched about 1,000 miles from northeast Colorado to southwest Wisconsin, but the hardest hit area was from central Nebraska to central Iowa, said Erik Pindrock, a meteorologist with AccuWeather Inc., The World-Herald's private weather consultant.
That area saw 5 to 12 inches of snow and sustained winds of about 35 mph, with gusts to about 50 mph.
Public works officials in Omaha said all main roadways were "in good shape" by Friday morning. Residential streets had seen snow plows at least once.
Austin Rowser, the city's assistant street maintenance engineer, said street crews still had some "touch-ups" to do and would likely finish on Saturday.
Crews on Friday were working to remove all of the snow piled up in the middle of downtown streets by overnight at the latest.
"We're still going strong," Rowser said. "If we can't get it done this morning, we'll come back at midnight to finish downtown. We'll be continuing until it's done."
About 500 $50 tickets had been issued in light of the city's new parking restrictions, which required drivers to park on opposite or even sides of the street so snow plows could get through. City officials were considering Friday when to lift a snow emergency that put the parking restrictions in place.
Metro buses were running Friday morning, but transit officials warned of delays. At least four routes had been temporarily canceled.
Some Omaha Public Schools buses were as much as an hour late picking up students. District officials sent a recorded phone message to parents warning them of a possible delay.
Dispatchers across the Midlands reported fewer problems than on Thursday, though many said highways and roadways were still slow and snow-covered.
A fatal accident was reported early Friday in Pottawattamie County, just east of Council Bluffs. It happened about 6 a.m. along Interstate 80 near mile marker 12. Few details were released, though the crash appeared to be weather-related.
Road conditions had been so bad in Iowa that officials appealed to surrounding states for their help in keeping truckers and other drivers of high-profile or unsteady vehicles out of the state.
Two people were killed in a 25-vehicle pileup on Interstate 35 in northern Iowa Thursday morning. Authorities said I-35 from Ames to Albert Lea, Minn., reopened Friday morning.
They said some motorists in the state's eastern half were stuck on Interstate 80. The pileup was among almost 90 crashes reported in Iowa between 5 p.m. Wednesday and noon Thursday.
With a plow and a State Patrol car in the lead, Iowa National Guard Humvees took about 45 minutes early Thursday to reach a stranded Honda Civic that was high-centered east of Council Bluffs.
The two men in the car welcomed the ride.
"You could tell they were appreciative, but their vehicle was stuck so they were kind of upset by that," said Iowa Army National Guard Pvt. Colton Pithan, 21, of Beebeetown.
The storm had a silver lining — much-needed moisture for a region in extraordinary drought.
Omaha and Grand Island set daily records Wednesday for the amount of moisture they received from the snow, according to the National Weather Service.
In Grand Island, 6.7 inches of snow translates to 1.04 inches of water, breaking the 1952 record for Dec. 19 of 0.71 inches of water. Omaha's official total was 5.9 inches of snow, which means 1.09 inches of water.
It was the most moisture Omaha has received from a storm since mid-October, said Barbara Mayes, meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in Valley. Other areas affected by the blizzard got more water out of their snow, and some received less.
"This is good," Mayes said, adding that the moisture should slow the region's slide into worsening drought.
"A fair amount of this should soak in if our temperatures can warm up," she said.
That might happen. Across the region, skies are forecast to clear and temperatures to warm slightly.
World-Herald staff writers David Hendee, Andrew J. Nelson, Rick Ruggles and Dan Sullivan, as well as World-Herald researcher Jeanne Hauser, contributed to this report.

CROSS LANES, W.Va. -- A Kanawha County Schools employee has been arrested and charged with making "terroristic threats" after he talked about making gas bombs.
The man was upset this week because other employees at the school had received Walmart gift certificates but he had not, according to a criminal complaint filed in Kanawha County Magistrate Court.
Police apprehended 51-year-old Bruce Edward Stanley, a custodian at Cross Lanes Elementary, when he arrived at the school Thursday afternoon after making remarks about creating gas bombs, according to the Kanawha County Sheriff's Department.
Cross Lanes Elementary Principal Vanessa Brown, however, said Stanley was taken into police custody at his home before his shift was to begin Thursday.
She said Stanley directed a "vague" verbal threat at other employees at the school regarding gas bombs Wednesday.
Stanley had talked about bombs around at least three school employees, including cook Robin Redman, according to the criminal complaint.
Stanley came into the cafeteria Wednesday and told Redman he was upset because teachers at the school received Wal-Mart gift certificates for outstanding performance, and he did not get one, according to the complaint.
Redman had joked about what she was going to buy with her gift card and Stanley replied that he would buy a "gas bomb," according to the complaint.
Stanley then asked if anyone had seen a "gas bomb go off," Redman told police. Redman said she's afraid of Stanley because of past aggressive behavior and that Stanley later said it was "coming down," according to the complaint.
Jacqulynn Thomas, head cook, also heard the conversation about the gift cards. According to the complaint, Thomas heard Stanley talk about 9/11 and about bombs before saying he "was serious" and "what would happen if one went off in here?"
Police also spoke with Robert Nasby, Stanley's supervisor, who said Stanley had asked him if he had ever made bombs before, according to the complaint.
Police officers searched the school building with a bomb-sniffing dog after a 911 call reporting the threat at about 11 a.m. Thursday, according to a Metro 911 dispatcher.
The school did not have to be evacuated but was placed on a very brief lockdown as a precaution, Brown said.
