USC quarterback Matt Barkley is not even listed as a first-round draft pick by ESPN analyst Todd McShay, but Trojans coach Lane Kiffin said Barkley's struggles this year will make him a better prospect.
"All the stuff he's been through makes him a more valuable pick," Kiffin said. "I can't imagine any player has dealt with more adversity in a four-year span with things that were out of his control."
Barkley is not practicing yet because of a sprained shoulder but will test his arm when USC arrives in El Paso for the Sun Bowl on Wednesday.
Among other USC players, wide receiver Robert Woods is believed to be leaning toward turning pro early depending on whether he is considered a first-round pick in his NFL evaluation.
"There comes a time when everybody has to go to the next level and it seems like Robert's time," fellow wide receiver George Farmer said.
Woods said he has not spoken with Kiffin since a conversation immediately after the season.
Cornerback Nickell Robey said he is leaning toward staying for his senior season, but some sources said they expect Robey to go pro.
More new players
Wide receiver Darreus Rogers, who signed a letter of intent in February but did not meet NCAA requirements, practiced Thursday. He is not eligible for the Sun Bowl. Defensive tackle Kenny Bigelow of Elkton, Md., signed scholarship papers and will enroll in January. Bigelow joins quarterback Max Browne, tailback Justin Davis, defensive end Kylie Fitts, cornerback Chris Hawkins and safety Su'a Cravens.
Position switch?
Kiffin said guard Marcus Martin could move to center next season after watching him in bowl practices.
"Anybody that we've moved somewhere is because that's the direction that we think they're going," Kiffin said.
Martin said he is not opposed to the switch.
"It's pretty fun and interesting," he said. "You get to learn a lot of new things and new concepts. If you know what you're doing, there's not too much thinking. But if you don't, it gets kinda difficult."
Martin's move is more significant because Abe Markowitz is expected to transfer. Markowitz wants to play a sixth year but he cannot apply through USC without being on scholarship. Kiffin does not want to give him a scholarship.
Markowitz is looking at Hawaii and UCLA among other schools.
Team value?
USC was the 16 th-most valuable college football team according to Forbes.com. The site listed the value of the Trojans as $68 million.

Inexplicably, I love the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Generally, I am not a big fan of dogs. Dogs instinctively know this, which is why they always jump all over me, given the chance. (It reminds me how I never ran into a prominent Democrat when we lived in D.C. during the Clinton years, but Bob Dole death-gripped me into a photo when he was running for President. Arm, schmarm.)
Maybe I love Westminster because it's on my TV screen: I can't smell the dogs and there's no slobbering. I love that I have picked the winner more than once, with no doggy knowledge whatsoever. (If you've ever been in the Oscar pool with me when I haven't seen any of the movies, you might wonder why I don't pack it in and go to Vegas.)
But intellectually, what I really love about the dog show is this: every dog is judged for itself. The competition isn't dog-eat-dog. Instead, each dog is judged according to its own breed standards, even for best in show, when the top dogs of each group compete for the big water dish. Are you the best YOU you can be? In other words, a beagle doesn't have to try to be a poodle to get ahead. Take that, supermodels.
I went on like this, blissfully ignorant of the truth, until Sunday's New York Times shattered my illusions and exposed the money and power behind the top dogs at Westminster. Apparently, the "special" dogs are bankrolled for thousands of dollars in Dog News (no really, Dog News) advertising and name recognition.
This "helps" the judges, who have to judge so many dogs they apparently need some pointers in the right direction. As one professional dog handler remarked to the Times, "By [pros] showing up, judges seem to say, 'Thank God you're here because I don't know what to pick.'" So, according to the article, it turns out the unknown, unadvertised underdogs don't have much of a chance against the Big Dogs. Sadly, every dog doesn't have his day.
The whole situation reeks of politics, and we all know politics sometimes reeks. Outside of the dog tent, who knows what candidate corporate campaign contributions will crown top dog in the next election cycle, thanks to the Citizens United decision from the U.S. Supreme Court. Here in Cuyahoga County, corruption and (almost equally poisonous) alleged corruption have severely damaged the Democratic brand. One of the big problems in politics, nationally and especially locally, is that name recognition and familiarity often win. Not always (gObama!) but it's enough of an advantage that some aspiring local politicians will even try to change their names to get a better ballot moniker.
Let's face it, it takes a fair amount of effort to be an informed voter for local races. So, when the "pros" come in with their nice familiar-sounding name, it's easy to have the same "Thank God you're here __________ because I didn't know who to vote for," reaction (fill in the blank with your favorite local politician surname). And the voters could very well end up electing a real dog.
Those are some of the reasons why I'm signing the Statement of Values of the Cuyahoga Democrats for Principled Leadership (CDPL). The CDPL are local Democrats who want to re-energize the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party, calling for ethical leadership and greater participation and transparency in party governance.
Best of all, CDPL calls for "objectivity in selecting party leaders based on qualifications and fulfillment of job responsibilities rather than on factional loyalties or control of jobs or campaign funds."
In this world of dogs and politics, that's what I call a breath of fresh air.

New to the forum and by no means any sort of an expert. Had to google the bodies muscles to find out it was the Tricep that was hurting me!
I play Gaelic football and currently am having problems with the tricep in my right arm. Its always stiff and sore. I train 3 times per week, which would involve light weight lifting, running and matches which I get throw fine, but the following day when I wake up it is very sore. If I try massaging the muscle it seems get worse. I dislocated the elbow on the same arm about 5 years ago, so not sure if its related in any way.
Any advice or strecthes recommended would be greatly appreciated.

WVU baseball players spring into action in tornado-ravaged Oklahoma
Heavy wind and rain conspired so members of the West Virginia University baseball team couldn't see 30 feet during the storm that spawned a devastating tornado in Moore, Okla.
Yet the players saw clearly that people needed help.
Junior outfielder Brady Wilson on Monday came up with an idea to help the tornado victims: 26 players and their coaches who were in Oklahoma City for the Big 12 tournament found the nearest Wal-Mart and filled 35 shopping carts with necessities such as mattresses, children's clothes, batteries and flashlights.
While at the store, the players helped a woman they knew only as Jamie. She lost her house and was shopping for similar items.
A school official estimated the team spent $3,500 in money supplied by the Friends of Mountaineer Baseball booster group.
Senior outfielder Chris Raskey, a Penn-Trafford graduate, said many players' first instinct was to help with rescue efforts, but officials were keeping as many people as possible out of danger.
"It was a great experience," he said. "I'm glad we could help out in some way."
Coach Randy Mazey said the effort meant nearly as much to the team as it did to the victims.
"I think 20 years from now, when they look back on their college career, I have my doubts they will remember the games," he said. "But they will remember the families and the impact they have had on people's lives."

Heisman winner Winston accused of taking crab legs
Greyson Lambert is officially Virginia's starting quarterback.
The redshirt sophomore is listed at No. 1 on the post-spring depth chart coach Mike London released Monday. Incumbent David Watford and sophomore Matt Johns are listed as battling for the backup role.
The anointing of Lambert does not come as a surprise. He was voted as one of four captains by his teammates during the spring and appointed by London to the 13-member player leadership council. He also got the bulk of the work in the Cavaliers' spring game.
The depth chart does have surprises.
Senior Miles Gooch, with just three career receptions, is listed as the starter at the `Z' wide receiver position, ahead of fellow senior Darius Jennings.
Jennings leads the returning Cavaliers with 106 career receptions.
Heisman winner Winston accused of taking crab legs
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston was issued a civil citation after sheriff's deputies said he walked out of a supermarket without paying for $32 worth of crab legs and crawfish.
The 20-year-old Florida State quarterback said he forgot to pay for the food. The offense was relatively minor but drew attention both because of his stature and because it was his latest brush with the law. Winston had been the subject of a much more serious, monthslong investigation into allegations that he had sexually assaulted a woman in December 2013. A prosecutor declined to charge him, citing a lack of evidence and gaps in the accuser's story.
Leon County Sheriff's Maj. Michael Wood said Wednesday that Publix employees called deputies, who went to Winston's apartment about three hours later. Winston was cooperative and told the deputies he forgot to pay for the food, but he did not contact the store or return there to pay for the items, Wood said.
''The facts are not in dispute,'' Wood said. ''He left without paying.''
Winston issued a statement through his lawyer saying he had intended to pay, ''but made a terrible mistake for which I'm taking full responsibility. In a moment of youthful ignorance, I walked out of the store without paying for one of my items.
''I realize that I am in the public spotlight and my conduct needs to be above reproach.''
The 6-foot-4, 235-pound Winston led Florida State to an undefeated season and national football championship. For the season, he passed for more than 4,000 yards and 40 touchdowns, completing nearly 67 percent of his throws.
Florida State baseball coach Mike Martin suspended Winston, a relief pitcher, indefinitely until he completes community service. Football coach Jimbo Fisher said in a statement that he supports Martin's decision.
Although Winston was cleared in the sexual assault case, the university is facing a federal investigation into how it handled the woman's accusations.
The investigation lagged for months after Tallahassee Police Department officials said they were told the accuser wanted to drop the case, but the woman's lawyer denied that. The accuser's lawyers have said the police department botched the investigation because detectives didn't quickly identify possible witnesses or obtain surveillance tape from the bar where the victim says she was first approached by Florida State football players.
Winston also has had two other run-ins with police, though he was not charged in either case.
In November 2012, police were called to an apartment complex in which 13 windows had been damaged by BB guns. Winston and his roommate at the time said Florida State players were engaged in a series of ''battles'' with each other, although they denied shooting BB guns themselves.
In another incident, police records show Winston came into a Burger King with three men but did not order food, instead asking for a water cup he repeatedly filled with soda over an employee's objections. The report says Winston was never interviewed about the incident because the restaurant declined to prosecute.
BYU to face AAC in first Beach Bowl
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Brigham Young has agreed to play a team from the American Athletic Conference in the inaugural Miami Beach Bowl in December.
Bowl officials and BYU Athletic Director Tom Holmoe announced Tuesday the Cougars will play at Marlins Park the week before Christmas, assuming they are eligible and not playing a football playoff or other bowl game on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day.
An exact date is pending for the bowl created and owned by the AAC.
BYU plays three other AAC teams in 2014 - hosting Houston on Sept. 11, while playing at UConn Aug. 29 and UCF Oct. 9.
The last time the Cougars played a bowl game in Florida they lost to Ohio State in the 1985 Citrus Bowl in Orlando, 10-7.
Michigan State D ready for an encore
EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - It was fitting that the Michigan State spring game began with an interception on the first play from scrimmage.
Yes, the Spartans have lost a few big names off their sensational defense from a season ago, but coach Mark Dantonio isn't planning on a major drop-off.
''We'll come up with turnovers and we'll compete,'' Dantonio said. ''Our defensive staff will have the guys ready to compete. We'll run at the ball. We'll play hard.''
Michigan State won the Rose Bowl last season behind one of the best defenses in the country, but the Spartans must now move on without linebackers Max Bullough and Denicos Allen and defensive backs Darqueze Dennard and Isaiah Lewis.
Defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi is back, and it will be up to him to build around lineman Shilique Calhoun and safety Kurtis Drummond.
''Our defensive goals are just executing, making no mental mistakes, flying around, and making plays,'' Drummond said. ''We look at each day as another day to get better. We are not exactly where we want to be as a complete team, so we use every day as a chance to get better. We just need to know what we're doing.''
Michigan State finished second in the nation in total defense and against the run in 2013.
For a while, the Spartans were winning in spite of an offense that struggled to find its footing, but by the end of the season, they were able to move the ball more consistently, and the result was a team that finished ranked No. 3 in the AP poll after beating Stanford in the Rose Bowl.
The Spartans may not have to lean on their defense quite as much this year. Quarterback Connor Cook returns, and so does Jeremy Langford, who rushed for 1,422 yards last season.
''I think now when you look at our football team, our offense is measuring up. The defense is measuring up as well,'' Dantonio said. ''Maybe the defense isn't as dominant right now, but maybe that's because the offense is a better offense.''
Calhoun returns at defensive end after leading the team with 7 1/2 sacks. Marcus Rush, another defensive end, had five sacks and is also back.
''We've got a lot of guys. We've got (Lawrence Thomas) who can play. He's very versatile, so he knows multiple positions, but he's very strong at defensive end and so is Demetrius Cooper,'' Calhoun said.
''Marcus Rush ... it just shows that we've got guys on this team who can play. We have a lot of depth at the defensive end position.''
The secondary, meanwhile, may have been the strongest part of the Michigan State defense at the end of last season.
The Spartans will miss Dennard and Lewis, but cornerback Jermaine Edmondson had the interception at the start of the spring game, and Drummond gives Michigan State plenty of experience.
''We just need to know what we're doing,'' Drummond said. ''We've got a lot of guys who can make plays, who can make plays consecutively. Guys in the spring are just trying to learn more, to take steps forward, and be consistent in tackling.''
The Spartans may not need their defense to be as dominant this season, but good luck convincing Calhoun, Drummond and the rest of this group that expectations have dipped.
''We've got a lot of great competitors on offense and a lot of great competitors on defense. It's time for them to show their stuff,'' Calhoun said. ''We've got high flyers, people who can come downhill and fill the gap and I would finally say it's at a point where offense is clicking early and so is our defense. It's going to be nice to see how the season starts out for us.''
SEC sticks with eight-game slate
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - The Southeastern Conference has decided to stick with its current football scheduling format of eight league games and a permanent non-division rival.
The conference's presidents and chancellors approved the so-called 6-1-1 format Sunday at a special meeting in Atlanta. SEC teams will continue to play each of their six division rivals, plus one permanent crossover rivalry game and another non-divisional opponent that will rotate.
The one change to format will affect nonconference scheduling. Starting in 2016, all SEC teams will be required to play at least one game against a team from one of the other Big 5 conferences - the Atlantic Coast Conference, Big Ten, Pac-12 and Big 12. But even that rule shouldn't change much. SEC schools routinely play at least one team from those conferences per season.
This season Mississippi, Mississippi State, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt do not play nonconference games against another Big 5 school. Only Arkansas, Texas A&M and Kentucky did not play a Big 5 nonconference game last year. The Wildcats' main in-state rival, Louisville, joins the ACC this season.
The SEC had been considering adding a ninth conference game and doing away with permanent inter-division opponents such as Alabama-Tennessee and LSU-Florida.
''Critical to maintaining this format is the nonconference opponent factor which gives us the added strength-of-schedule we were seeking while allowing continued scheduling flexibility for institutional preferences, and acknowledges that many of our institutions already play these opponents,'' Commissioner Mike Slive said in a statement.
''The concept of strength-of-schedule is based on an entire 12-game schedule, a combination of both conference games together with nonconference games. Given the strength of our conference schedule supplemented by at least one major nonconference game, our teams will boast of a strong resume of opponents each and every year.''
Alabama coach Nick Saban was one of the few vocal proponents of moving to a nine-game conference schedule, the way the Pac-12 and Big 12 have and the Big Ten is going to. Otherwise there was little support from athletic directors for adding another conference game.
The permanent crossover rivalries have also been a point of consternation for some in the conference. LSU has been the most vocal opponent. The Tigers have Florida as their permanent rival. Their West Division rival, Alabama, has Tennessee, which has been down for much of the last decade. Still, the storied rivalry is highly valued by each school.
''The announcement from our conference office regarding future football scheduling assures that the Tennessee-Alabama game, one of college football's most historic rivalries, will continue on an annual basis moving forward,'' Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart said in a statement. ''Chancellor Cheek and I have strongly and consistently advocated that this rivalry be preserved regardless of any other outcomes resulting from conversations about football scheduling.''
Punt Bama Punt star David Langner dies
AUBURN, Ala. (AP) - Former Auburn football player David Langner, who starred in one of the most memorable games in Iron Bowl history, has died. He was 62.
Auburn teammate Mac Lorendo said Langner died early Saturday morning after battling cancer.
Bill Newton blocked two punts in the final minutes of the 1972 game with previously unbeaten Alabama, and Langner returned both for touchdowns.
The Tigers won 17-16 in what became known as the ''Punt Bama Punt'' game.
''David Langner was one of Auburn's greats who will be remembered by generations to come,'' Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs said. ''He was a fierce competitor who fought cancer as hard as he fought any opponent he faced.''
Langner had retired from the car business in Tuscaloosa last November. He told The Associated Press in late 2013 that people still brought up the game daily and ''it's just been part of my life since that day.''
''He was very grateful of the fact that he had been in the right place at the right time, that he had something about him that people would remember forever,'' Lorendo said.
Langner, an All-Southeastern Conference defensive back, also preserved the victory over Alabama with an interception.
The 1972 Auburn team dubbed ''The Amazins'' went 10-1 and finished the season ranked fifth in the AP poll.
Langner had blocked three punts on Auburn's freshman team in 1970 and returned one for a touchdown. He is still Auburn's career record holder with 287 interception return yards, including 108 yards in a 1971 game with UT-Chattanooga.
His 12 career interceptions is tied for fifth in Auburn history.
Lorendo's father, Gene, recruited Langner when he was Auburn's offensive coordinator partly because he was so competitive, if undersized.
''David backed down from nothing and no one,'' Mac Lorendo said. ''That was one of the reasons my Dad recruited him.''
Duke QB transferring to Fresno State
FRESNO, Calif. (AP) - Former Duke quarterback Brandon Connette is transferring to Fresno State and will be eligible to play this upcoming season.
Fresno State coach Tim DeRuyter said Friday that Connette has signed a scholarship agreement. Connette graduated with a degree in economics from Duke last December, making him eligible to transfer without having to sit out a season.
DeRuyter said Connette will compete to replace the departed Derek Carr as the starting quarterback on the Bulldogs. Brian Burrell, Myles Carr and Zack Greenlee took most of the work with the first team in spring ball.
Connette played in 39 career games at Duke, drawing four starts. He completed 106 of 182 passes for 1,410 yards with 16 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He also ran for 31 scores at Duke.
Iowa's offense looking to match strong defense
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - Iowa's defense was back among the nation's elite last season.
The Hawkeyes' offense failed to follow suit.
Getting both units to play at an equally high level will likely be crucial to Iowa's hopes of competing for a Big Ten West title.
The Hawkeyes, who wrap up spring practice Saturday with a scrimmage at Kinnick Stadium, will be among the league favorites because they have a lot of returning starters and what appears to be a manageable schedule.
But Iowa will need to score more than the 26.3 points it averaged a year ago to aid a defense coming off one of the better seasons in school history.
Quarterback Jake Rudock believes the unit's continuity will be a big plus next season.
''We've all gotten more comfortable with (the offense),'' Rudock said. ''Now there are really no excuses when we make mental mistakes. We should know better.''
Iowa's defense still has major holes to fill at linebacker and some open spots in the secondary.
But for the most part, the Hawkeyes appear to be in good shape with spring ball set to close.
Senior Quinton Alston has solidified his hold on middle linebacker, according to defensive coordinator Phil Parker. The lone open spot along the defensive line has apparently come down to ends Mike Hardy and Nate Meier, and returning starter John Lowdermilk has been working to hold off fellow senior Nico Law at strong safety.
Those position battles, along with Jordan Lomax's transition to free safety, will likely carry over to practice in August.
But it appears as though Alston has proven he's ready to anchor a linebacker corps down three starters from last season.
''He's done a great job up to this point of being the leader and he's kind of the guy that takes control of the huddle,'' Parker said.
Though the numbers weren't great, Iowa's offense also improved greatly from a disastrous 2012 - when it ranked among the nation's worst in a number of categories. Iowa has a chance to moving forward again in 2014, provided it can keep Rudock upright.
Rudock, who missed time late in the season with knee issues, has looked like his old spry self during spring practice, offensive coordinator Greg Davis said Wednesday. Davis acknowledged concerns about the offensive line's depth after losing seniors Brett Van Sloten and Conor Boffeli, but he's also been impressed by Rudock's progress in his first spring as the clear starter.
Though backup C.J. Beathard has gotten plenty of work this spring, he hasn't done enough to threaten Rudock's job.
''Jake is an extremely bright guy, he's gifted. He's healthy again. He's running around, making plays,'' Davis said. ''He has a great understanding of everything that's going on. Nothing rattles him. He handles himself like a quarterback. And he could make all the throws. He's just got more experience.''
Though Iowa has plenty of experience at wide receiver, the unit lacked explosiveness a year ago. A handful of young wideouts could help the Hawkeyes stretch defenses more than they did in 2013.
Redshirt freshman Derrick Willies has emerged in spring practice as a likely candidate for significant snaps next season. Davis also pointed to unheralded sophomore Matt VandeBerg as a receiver who has opened eyes this month.
''Willies has really had a good spring. He's getting more confidence,'' Davis said. ''Matt is a guy that can play more than one spot. When you're playing with tempo, and for the receivers to play in the run and the pass game, the way you want, you have to rotate some players in there.''
The Hawkeyes, however, did lose a promising young player in the passing game. Coach Kirk Ferentz announced Wednesday that redshirt freshman tight end Jon Wisnieski injured his knee in practice last week and could be out for all of 2014.

Civil Ethics and the Validity of Law
- 149 Downloads
This paper aims to clarify the nature and contents of 'civil ethics' and the source of the binding force of its obligations. This ethics should provide the criteria for evaluating the moral validity of social, legal and morally valid law. The article starts with observing that in morally pluralist Western societies civil ethics already exists, and has gradually started to play the role of guiding the law. It is argued that civil ethics should not be conceived as 'civic morals' which is in fact rather 'state ethics', nor as 'public ethics' which is said to reach its perfection when it becomes law, nor as ethics applicable primarily to the basic structure of a society (political liberalism), but instead as a citizens' ethics. Subsequently the paper attempts to show what the contents of this ethics are, and which ethical theory would be able to ground its obligations.

Kim, who sat down with her two sisters Khloe Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian for an interview, talked about pregnancy style and her baby Nori's princess style.
Kim Kardashian and her two sisters Khloe Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian were interviewed by Elle magazine for its latest issue before they hosted an event which was held to celebrate Babies"R"Us' partnership with Operation Shower in New Jersey. In the interview, Kim gave some advice for pregnant women and talked about North "Nori" West's style .
Talking about pregnancy style, Kim said, "I recommend hiding for a good year and having no pregnancy style. That's what I recommend. If you can do it, hide. Never leave the house." Khloe then asked Kim to give a different answer because she thought Kim's anwer was not "practical." Kim then added, "That's really my recommendation. Wear a huge blanket." She continued her advice, "You just wear regular clothes in a bigger size."
When asked about Nori's style, she replied, "North doesn't really like pink. Like, she's very neutral...she doesn't like prints. She hasn't liked it for her whole life." Khloe then refuted, "Kim and Kanye determine, and that's what parents do." Kourtney agreed with Khloe's statement, "Kim and Kanye don't like pink or prints."
The wife of Kanye West then added, "North is a princess girly, but in creams. Like a cream textured princess." Khloe disagreed with Kim, "I would never define North as princess-y. She's like badass. Like, I'm North. She's very confident in who she is. I will say that. And [Kourtney's daughter Penelope] is like submissive and sweet. North is very sweet, but North is like 'Hi,' like she bosses people around." Khloe then joked, "This is the best interview I've ever done."
Kim recently made headlines after she declared that she wanted to be a MILF in an interview with Lucky magazine. When asked about how her style changed after being a mom, Kim replied, "Well, I am definitely way sexier ever since having my daughter! [Laughs] The struggle to get back into shape after giving birth is such a real one. It's so difficult to do, and afterwards, all you want to do is show off your body and feel sexy. I mean, my style's definitely more simple..."
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star then added, "I just want to be a MILF!"

I'm very free in my ethics; basically anything goes as long as no intended (or careless) physical harm is done to other humans or their property. this is the only but very important rules I generally want. this is known to many as the non-aggression principle, although there are slightly different variations)
the only thing I fear is being tortured (physical, mental, or any other way I can't think of) by anyone or anything (so by a horrible disease or accident included).
I just generally lead a rather materially minimalist life, from a modern developed world POV. (one of my favorite songs is: "bear necessities") I enjoy information much more then materials, once basic needs are met of course.
I don't enjoy eating out (although it doesn't bother me much either) or going out to noisy crowded bars/clubs (if they are not too noisy/crowded and have a decent amount of fresh air (no-smoking, preferably outside) and not too many too drunk people, with the right people, they can be nice; but that's so rare...sigh. cafes are ok, but I prefer a park (when it's not too cold; or raining obviously). I do love the occasional outdoor psytrance festival/party, or house parties with nice people.
I have an eclectic interest; very open mind.
I like to think I like everything but at the moment I have my preferences. because of this you should not be surprised if I don't turn out to be what you expected during the 1st days you meet me, it might be just those days I happen to be more like something that I'm usually not or that is not covered in this self description.
Also, at least for me (but I believe for most other people too) we're a collection of many things, some bigger then others, but all of them affect how we are, often in unpredictable or unthought of ways. so I learned to not get very surprised with other people' or my own, new behaviours, especially in differing situations. In short, people are much more complex then any presentation can convey; so expect the unexpected is the best IMHO way of relating to others, especially with those less known.
I am bisexual, but I'm more attracted to women then men (I'd say about 20:1)
politically I identify myself most with the libertarian view in general. basically do as you like as long as you don't initiate force upon other humans or their property is fine by me. but (and in this I seem to differ from most libertarians) when managing shared property/goods/resources I think it's best to (only) enforce rules that deal with "tragedy of the commons" situations (and I consider IE providing basic (and I really mean basic, not what northern EU countries consider basic nowadays) needs to a population of a shared land to be one of those TofC situations, same for health care againts contagious diseases).
I don't talk as much as most but not so much because I don't like talking, more because with most people they seem not to be interested enough in my talkings, and so I don't (I can talk to myself in my head if I want to talk for the sake of talking, I talk to others for them to listen, so if they don't want to listen, I see no point in talking).
I've been told I'm somewhat unsociable, but in my view I'm just less interested in small talk then most people and don't socialize just for good manners (also people probably get this impression because of the "not talking much" I already explained), maybe because if I don't feel like socializing, or talking I just don't, some people see that as rude or even anti-social, but it's just me preferring to be "alone" doing my own thing at that particular time, it just so happens that there are some people around me at that time, it shouldn't make me rude or unsocial. sometimes I'm best just not saying anything for hours thinking, listen to music, contemplating some view. there's nothing wrong with not doing anything in particular, in just being. But when I am with people with common interests I can talk endlessly (I remember IE with one work colleague in cape town we ended up talking for hours afterwork, on the pavement in front of the restaurant into the night).
I actually am very accepting of other people, and from my part can get along with just about everyone (as long as they abide by the important rule described next paragraph), but I wouldn't neccessarly be very sociable with them; to explain better the idea: IE I'd be comfortable with just about anyone being in my house, but I wouldn't necessarily be socializing with all of them most of the time, just doing my thing until there was a common interest for us to socialize.
I'm also told I'm weirder and stranger then most, which I agree with in my lifestyle (not working by choice, being very homey, not having almost any (social) rules, etc), but think more people would be more like me if they didn't abide so much to social-manners and where as financially independent as me.
Generally I just do whatever I want when I want it, but of course consider the consequences of my present actions. I don't have some great ulterior purpose or goal or so in life, other then doing/being what I want to do/be; which generally just entails satisfying my biological nature needs (nourishment, comfort and health, novelty, and security, intimacy)
I grew up till 9yo in amsterdam, then in Lagos, portugal till I finished highschool, then lived in capetown with my father to live with him and get to know him (we lost contact when I was a baby and only spend a couple of months together in my mid teens) then rented a room for the second half of my 1 and 1/2 year stay in CT, then lived and traveled (hitch-hiking and tent camping where I could find a spot) in some EU countries for ~3 years, then attempted to study (jazz drummer) but gave up at the end of the 1st year for many reasons, and have since been just living and exploring and learning, no plan, just as long as I have my needs satisfied (which I also consider my purpose in life: to fulfill my needs and then do whatever I want (basically I just try to feel satisfied, content, comfortable, good, as much as possible)
I haven't really worked (since I stoped trying to study in 2009), I've just done odd jobs for family and friends and family-friends (housekeeping, house-maintenance, house-sitting, etc) that kept me paying for some basic necessities, and stayed at the houses of my mother; father (and occasionally uncle and grandmother) making myself useful enough for them to want/accept having me around.
(see "what I'm doing with my life" for my current situation)
I sleep ~10hours/day and with my "freetime" I daydream/think/meditate a few hours and spend the remainder at friends or online, mainly watching films (movies and youtube) reading some news, playing starcraft (and of course music almost always) and I used to be on reddit alot but very rarely nowadays (I subscribe to
which should give you a decent idea of most of my interests)
I get money from renting my residential property which grants me basic necessities, keeps me comfortable and entertained enough.
I'm trying/planning to move to the country, do some permaculture maybe; but the lack of security and decent internet connection (and money to get better security and decent internet) has been keeping me off for a couple years already, but I hope probably this or next year (either that or buy a caravan and live wherever I please whenever I please). I'm also looking for other people that might be interested in moving to the country to move with me to the same patch of land (but each with their own living space, maybe/probably share bathroom/kitchen) or some more commune kind of thing... or just live in a autocaravan; I don't know
maybe debating, finding lack of accuracies... and music (especially rhythm)
I just don't give any more importance to first noticeable things then to later noticeable things in people.
On the Road; jitterbug perfume; Mr. Happy; the singularity is near.
So many!!!!!! the big Lebowski; Amelie, The Matrix; event horizon, pandorum, Groundhog day; being john malkovich; (and almost all coen bros are good); donnie darko, a brilliant mind; eXistenZ; ghost in the shell; paprika; waking life; The Thirteenth Floor; all the wim wenders; Ex Machina, the man who fell to earth, I heart huckabees, restless, now is good, chappie, fear and loathing in las vegas, most woody allan and noah baumbach and jim jarmush; frank; the signal; the grand seduction; the untouchables and lots of others. (I generally prefer movies that don't centre around conflict between humans nor love between humans, which seems surprisingly hard to come by)
Monty python; the fast show; the simpsons; eddie izzard; max keiser; vice and vice news; steins;gate psychopass and some others.
anything depending on the present situation/mood; but rarely do I like more angry or sad type music, heavy is good, but angriness/sadness I extremely rarely feel or want to feel.
I think I generally prefer music without lyrics (although "Chance Waters - Infinity" has probably the best lyrics I have heard)
lately been more into psytrance and classical. and dislike hip-hop and pop and such. often I'm a sucker for funk/soul/disco too, but my knowledge of it is unsatisfactorily limited.
for me is (almost) just a need to fulfill, so the best quality/price ratio :) my staple diet is wholegrain wheat flour and soyflour baked in the oven.
best ways to gain more security of the things I feel I need.
politics, economics, finance, (human) biology and sociology, futurology, tech (specially IT).
paranormal phenomena ( mostly coincidences that seem far to coincidental to be just from chance; which leads me to question: how come? are we living in a simulation? is there anything after death? and such.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can join the EMRD?
The EMRD is composed of members from varying levels of education and many clinical interests. Our team is primarily undergraduates who have applied to the team through our annual application process occurring every fall. We typically get 50-70 applications per year and are only able to admit 5-6 new team members per application cycle. We are forced to be selective in our application process in order to keep the team at a manageable and efficient size. In addition to our undergraduates, the EMRD is also home to several emergency medicine physicians and residents, medical students, graduate students, foreign medical graduates, and PhD candidates. Prospective members with these credentials are typically not required to go through our annual application process and may request to join at any time. After contacting us, they may be asked to interview with the chiefs. Once interviewed and approved, they may join the team.
What will I get out of joining the EMRD?
You will learn what non-bench research is really about. You will see and experience the process from kicking around an idea to making it fully formed, to writing a protocol and maybe getting some funding, to understanding outcome variables and the importance of statistics, to gathering the data, to analyzing the data and finally making a presentation or publishing your results.
One of the greatest advantages that you will receive as a member of EMRD is nearly unlimited access to medical professionals. EMRD members are free to shadow Dr. Totten or another Emergency Department attending physician during his or her shifts. In fact, all new members are required to shadow Dr. Totten for six hours before they are fully accepted into the EMRD.
When you shadow Dr. Totten or any of the other attending physicians, they will be teaching you material that is usually covered only in Medical School. This increases your clinical knowledge, which, for premed students, provides a big advantage over your peers.
"While shadowing Dr. Totten, I learned the ABCs of seeing a patient: Airway, Blood, Circulation, Disability, and Exposure." -Dave Jones
Increased clinical exposure looks very good on Medical School applications. Clinical exposure is usually very hard to come by. There are many obstacles in other places. Doctors at other institutions may simply be too busy to accommodate would-be shadowers, or local liability laws may prevent other institutions from allowing Emergency Room shadowing. Clinical hours allow you to interact directly with patients and other medical practitioners, just as a real doctor or nurse. Because of this, clinical work has a distinct advantage over lab work, where you sit all day in a lab with minimum human interaction. And since the EMRD expects multi-year commitments from its members, Dr. Totten will get to know you on a very personal level. Because she knows you so well by the time you apply for higher education, she can write very strong letters of recommendation for you.
Will I earn money?
Rarely. Occasionally a project has brought in enough money to afford to hire RAs. If so, senior members who are qualified and want to accept this additional obligation will first be offered the positions, then any others who are interested. Such positions may be shorter or longer lasting, and may require additional training.

DISAPPOINTED Blues boss Gareth Ainsworth said a lack of professionalism cost his side against Exeter - and he hopes his players have a bad night mulling over a defeat.
Normally in his post match press conferences an upbeat Ainsworth emphasises the positives, but today he said he 'lost his rag' at his players over aspects of their play that upset him during their loss against ten men.
Joel Grant had a penalty saved and Kortney Hause scored an own goal late on to condemn Wanderers to defeat and Ainsworth admitted his side hadn't done enough to deserve to beat City.
The Chairboys chief said: "I've said to them be disappointed and have a bad night tonight. You have to learn not to have this. Enjoy the good things and feel happy and have great nights, but when you get beaten make sure you have a bad night, because you teach yourself not to have too many of those.
"I've said a few things that will lead to them not having a good night tonight.
"I'm really gutted for the boys because they have put so much in lately, but today I've let them have it a little bit. Although we didn't do enough to win the game besides the penalty, a lack of concentration and professionalism has cost us again.
"We didn't attack like we have been doing at home. I lost my rag a bit with a couple of tactic things - it's unprofessional.
"Playing against ten men, sometimes you relax a tiny bit thinking you've won the game.
"It's a learning thing for a few of the young players. We seemed to drop a bit deeper second half - I don't know why. It's something we need to address."
Ainsworth added: "It's the strongest squad I've put out for a while and we got beaten by ten men."

I was brunching yesterday with Christiana who, as the proprietor of Hygge & West, has a pretty cool job. And she commented that *I* have a pretty cool job. Well, I have to admit: I feel really, really lucky to have my regular freelance gig with the SF Chronicle. In the coming weeks, I've got profiles running on a bunch of amazing interior designers. Such as:
P.S. Both Palmer and Matthew are participating in this year's San Francisco Decorator Showcase (April 25-May 25). So if you're local and get a chance, I highly recommend checking it out. I saw the house excuse me, mansion a few weeks ago and it was a construction mess. So I'm super excited to view it once it's been completely transformed.

With us was our slim and slinky and silvery pussycat, Pitter. (Her sister, Patter, also used to walk these woods with us but, alas, she met her end on the same day as Senator Wellstone's plane went down—a day that will live in sorrow.)
As we walked along the bed of leaves and amid the upright trunks of oaks and hickories and maples and pines, April said, "Do you think Pitter thinks of the trees as 'the tall cats?'" I instantly recognized the joke, semi-private as it was: for April has long appreciated and often cited something she learned years ago from the book Hanta Yo, namely that some tribe or other of Native Americans called trees "the tall people."
After giving a chortle of acknowledgment, I addressed the question as if serious: No, a cat would not identify with the trees as we people do, because they're horizontal, spinally speaking, and what makes the trees the 'tall people' is that we and the trees share our upright stance in the world."
It's a lovely notion, this identification of us people with trees, because trees are such splendid creatures. April is of the opinion that trees are more likely to be God's favorites than humans, and I can certainly see her point.
(She's expressed beautifully one of her many appreciative takes on the trees in our world in a recent piece on her website entitled, "Trees on Winter Nights," to be found at click here www.theearthconnection.org/blog/2009/03/trees-on-winter-nights/)
Trees aren't the only upright things in nature, but they may be the one's we feel best to connect ourselves with. Tulips, lovely as they are, are too fragile, too slight, too fleeting. We like to think of ourselves as made of stronger stuff, of more substantial and enduring than such temporary upthrusts from the earth as the flowers of spring. Better the noble tree that towers above the land, that lasts through the years.
We see ourselves as tree-like, and we like the connection. Tall, dignified, enduring, a thing of beauty.
As my mind turned toward this likening of trees with humans, a phrase from Longfellow's poem, Evangeline, came to my mind: he says of the trees that they "stand like Druids of old."
He speaks of these trees as he conjures up "the forest primeval."
THIS is the forest primeval. The murmuring pines and the hemlocks,
Bearded with moss, and in garments green, indistinct in the twilight,
Stand like Druids of eld, with voices sad and prophetic…
The Druids of old tell us of the solemnity of the trees. The dignity, the looming presence of a great force. The trees speak with the voices of prophets.
The trees represent an elevated, flattering view of human possibility.
I would be glad to think of us as 'the short trees.'

I really like UK shows, like Peep Show, The Graham Norton Show, Wonders of the Universe, and Top Gear. I also love shows with quirky characters like Happy Endings. Also anything HBO. I'm really eclectic when it comes to music.
I like to frequent 9:30 Club, Rock and Roll Hotel, and The Black Cat. Some of my favorite bands include The Sunshine Underground, Beach House, Kimbra, Club Smith, Arctic Monkeys, Bad Veins, and 90's Rap.
Favorite food is spaghetti.
My favorite movies include any of the James Bond movies, but Daniel Craig has to be may favorite Bond. I recently realized I hadn't seen many of the "Bad" or iconic 80's action or drama movies so I'm making my way through them, such as the Lethal Weapon movies, The Godfather, movies with the Governator, and Mad Max.

James Harden had just finished going around the world, taking shots from different spots above the three-point line, long after the Houston Rockets had completed their morning shootaround on Wednesday at Toyota Center. Some went in. Some went out. But the shots kept going up. Same rotation. Same flow.
As he walked toward the locker room, Harden was asked if he was aware that later that evening he was going to face a team that had passed on a chance to acquire him last summer.
"I don't know anything about that," Harden said.
According to multiple league sources, the Wizards balked at a proposed deal for Harden in part because owner Ted Leonsis was unwilling to give him the five-year, $80 million maximum contract that he was seeking. Harden said the snub wouldn't give him any extra motivation when the two teams square off at 8 p.m.
"You know what? No. I don't get bothered or intrigued by stuff like that, no," Harden said. "I mean, I guess I wasn't a fit for that organization or whatever they are moving forward to. What I can control is me going out there and playing my hardest and helping my team win games."
Harden, the NBA's fifth-leading scorer at 24.7 points per game, has helped elevate one of the league's youngest teams back to relevance as it rebuilds in the post-Yao Ming era. The Rockets currently have the 10th best record in the highly-competitive Western Conference and that is largely because of Harden, who has scored at least 30 points in five games and has settled in quite nicely after arriving in a blockbuster deal from the Oklahoma City Thunder in late October.
"It's coming along very well," Harden said. "I think my teammates and coaches have done a great job of welcoming me and putting me in position to be successful. I know it was a tough transition, but it's a new chapter, new stage in my life."
He added: "There are a lot of situations where it could've been worse, as far as, a team may not want me and a lot of other stuff may be going on. But I think this team really wants me here and we can build something special."
After taking a back seat with the Thunder, Harden has taken on a leadership role in Houston. He has tried to pass along the same work ethic that he developed in Oklahoma City, where Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook created a culture in which you were getting worse if you weren't constantly focused on getting better.
"We're special. We've got a lot of young guys who want to work hard and are willing to do whatever it takes," Harden said. "I'm settling down and just trying to get the guys to work."
While getting prepared for the Wizards, Harden was also looking to get his legs out from under him after missing the previous game with a sprained right ankle. "I feel good," he said. "My ankle feels a lot better."
And Harden said he wouldn't expend much time thinking about what may or may not have been in Washington: "I'm here in Houston and trying to win games."

Another 1000 apartments are set to soar above Melbourne's skyline with five new towers in Footscray and Southbank gaining development approval.
Planning Minister Matthew Guy this week signed off on two projects worth $270 million as the latest building approval figures show a surge of construction in Victoria - up by 14.9 per cent in April.
Around the country, however, dwelling approvals fell by 5.6 per cent over the same period, suggesting the broader building boom spurred by historic low interest rates may be losing momentum.
''Just as home prices appeared to top out ahead of the Budget, there also appears a degree of home-builder caution,'' CommSec chief economist Craig James said.
''Only time will tell whether approvals to build new homes have peaked. Still, the pipeline of building work is very full so builders, tradespeople and building material companies have plenty of work.''
The 751 apartments approved for Footscray may prove controversial.
The project by developer Giancorp Property Group will be constructed within 100 metres of the Maribyrnong River bank and span four towers rising between 16 and 28 storeys.
The plans attracted significant criticism from residents when first lodged last year who claimed the tower's height suggested there was one planning rule for buildings along the leafy eastern suburbs of the Yarra River and another for the Maribyrnong in Melbourne's west.
The apartment complex at 57 Haig Street in Southbank will be 38 storeys (122 metres) tall and house 249 units.

Visiting the ROM was probably my first childhood memory, and as far as I know it's what got me hooked on history. From the perspective of a three year old, the place was massive.
I remember staring up in awe at the bones of an enormous Barosaurus. It looked as if it stretched up all the way to the sky. My parents still laugh at how I would make them carry me close to the carnivorous dinosaurs while I half-covered my face with my arm because I was scared of them, but I still wanted to look at them. And I remember running through the Roman and Greek exhibits to get to the Egyptian exhibit so I could go stare at the mummy for awhile.
We've since moved away from Toronto, but every time I come back I don't leave without visiting the ROM. Thank you ROM for all the wonderful memories!

The sale of former multimillionaire
Perdaman, owned by Indian-born magnate
It will use the coal in its proposed $3.5 billion coal-to-urea plant in the West Australian town of Collie.
The contract is crucial to Griffin because it will offset the miner's major contract to supply state-owned electricity generator Verve Energy, which expires this week. However, TheAustralian Financial Review understands negotiations have stalled over a cost-escalation clause in the contract. Perdaman is understood to have a non-binding heads of agreement with Griffin to buy coal at a certain price plus any increase in inflation.
The administrator, however, is thought to be seeking a change in the final contract to the escalation clause to allow for fuel and wage costs, in an attempt to maximise the value of the sale by protecting future buyers from rising mining-related costs.
Perdaman director
Brian McMaster of lead administrator KordaMentha said the negotiations were confidential, but downplayed suggestions that there was an argument over the escalation clause.
Mr McMaster is also concentrating on expanding Griffin's fledgling export business. Griffin went into administration in January after failing to pay US bond holders owed about $525 million and missing a $5 million payment to the Australian Taxation Office. It has total debts of more than $700 million.
Mr McMaster is targeting the end of this week to open Griffin's books to more than 70 potential buyers, including some Indian companies.
Griffin's demise has sparked a broader fire sale of Mr Stowe's assets, including his mansion and farm on the north-eastern outskirts of Perth.

Arthur Golding (1535/36-1606) was one of the great cultural brokers of

Spenser, Shakespeare, and so many other subsequent writers (Ezra Pound
famously, if controversially, called it "the most beautiful book in the

If the nation wants to combat the decline of education, it should take tips from the Aspen community, said U.S. Assistant Secretary of Education Brenda Dann-Messier at The Aspen Institute on Friday.
Schools, nonprofits and businesses in the Roaring Fork Valley have come together through the Aspen Community Foundation (ACF) to encourage lifelong learning and to educate people of all ages, and that collaborative effort is key to successful education reform, Dann-Messier said. The ACF supports local nonprofits through grants, and last year launched the Cradle to Career Initiative, which brings nonprofits, businesses, philanthropists and the government together to support the educational efforts from Aspen to Parachute.
"In these challenging fiscal times it's more important than ever to align resources, identify any gaps and ways to fill them and employ all your partners strategically," Dann-Messier said. "... ACF helps partnerships to do all of this and more."
Dann-Messier's comments came during a keynote speech she gave in front of about 250 community members at a symposium presented by the foundation called "Cradle to Career: Building Youth Success from Aspen to Parachute."
The nation is facing an education crisis, Dann-Messier said. Due to the widening gap between upper and middle classes, there are uneven levels of opportunity, she said. Meanwhile, students are not being taught the practical skills required to be employed, she said. About 60 percent of jobs in the country require post-secondary education, which students are not completing.
The nation's top three priorities should be to provide preschool to everyone, teach young adults practical skills and make college affordable, she said. The ACF is addressing at least one of those priorities with its "Gus the Bus" program, which transforms a school bus into a portable preschool classroom on wheels that provides education to 72 children, she noted.
In order to address the other issues, Dann-Messier suggested that the ACF try to provide opportunities for low-income parents to gain new skills. It has been proven that increasing the level of a parent's education has a positive impact on his or her children's success in school, she said. Dann-Messier also encouraged the community to incorporate programs that allow students to accelerate their progress throughout their educational careers, like offering college-level courses in high schools, which fulfill credit requirements for both.
Dann-Messier said she was delighted to hear that the local community already has undertaken an effort to partner schools with the Colorado Mountain College and the University of Colorado. The program helps low-income and minority students be the first in their family to attend college.
"I hope you'll build and expand on this effort," she said.
Ultimately, there is not one easy, quick fix that will change the problems in the nation's education system, Dann-Messier said. It's not only going to take local communities coming together, it will also require a currently split U.S. Congress to find common ground in the name of progress, she said.
"I think all of us recognize that we can't do it alone," Dann-Messier said. "The task is enormous ... we're [going to be] forced to work together."

IN THE end, Black Caviar is just another horse. Peter Moody wisely made no song and dance about the mighty mare's jump-out at Sandown last week.
She floated to the track, then did her thing in front of a group of jump-out regulars and a couple of her owners, while Moody got on with what he had to do for his team.
If he had made it public that the winner of all 22 of her starts was heading to Sandown it would have attracted a media scrum as one of the biggest attractions in Australian sport appeared on the track.
Black Caviar will show her pulling power in a gallop between races at Caulfield this week, which will be her first public appearance since Royal Ascot. There will be much interest in how much bigger than usual the crowd will be.
Racing Victoria's website has also begun a daily Black Caviar update.
Little about Black Caviar escapes scrutiny, but not all reports are right. One said she was well above her fighting weight on her return from a spell. The report was inaccurate. It put her fighting weight at 540 kilograms, when she in fact races around 585 kilograms.
It angered Moody. Not so much because it was wrong but because he had to spend all day answering questions he shouldn't have had to.
Although he accepts that his role with the six-year-old mare - as the Black Caviar Lightning Stakes on February 16 approaches - is not just trainer but also manager. He is also aware of what she means to racing and the responsibility that comes with her unbeaten record.
He says he believes the long break since Royal Ascot in June has Black Caviar in the best shape she has been in for several years. "I'm not saying that she's faster or better, but she looks physically in as good a shape as she ever has been at this stage of her preparation," he said on Melbourne radio on Sunday.
"Because she was given the time to recover and get over her last racing campaign, it's probably also the soundest she's been at this stage of her preparation for two to three years."
But Moody is not looking beyond the Lightning Stakes.
Her program will be decided by Moody after talking with Black Caviar's owners. It seems a Sydney appearance is assured and a trip to Brisbane isn't out of the question. There is even a hint that a spring program could be in the offering.
The end of Black Caviar's career will be stage-managed by Moody to ensure that his greatest horse can have a perfect finish.

Jindo , South Korea (AFP) April 21, 2014
The captain and crew of a South Korean ferry that capsized with hundreds of children on board acted in a way "tantamount to murder," President Park Geun-Hye said Monday, as four more crew members were arrested and the death toll rose to 87.
Park's denunciation, in which she vowed to hold all those responsible for the disaster "criminally accountable", followed the release of a transcript showing the panic and indecision that paralysed decision-making on the bridge as the ship listed and sank Wednesday morning.
The confirmed death toll jumped as divers stepped up the recovery of bodies from inside the 6,825-tonne Sewol, but 215 people remained unaccounted for.
"The actions of the captain and some crew members were utterly incomprehensible, unacceptable and tantamount to murder," Park said in a meeting with senior aides.
"Not only my heart, but the hearts of all South Koreans have been broken and filled with shock and anger," said Park, who was heckled Thursday when she met relatives of the hundreds of passengers still missing -- most of them schoolchildren.
The families have criticised the official response to the disaster, saying the initial rescue effort was inadequate and mismanaged.
The president said it was increasingly clear that Captain Lee Joon-Seok had unnecessarily delayed the evacuation of passengers as the ferry started sinking, and then "deserted them" by escaping with most of his crew members.
- Ethically 'unimaginable' -
"This is utterly unimaginable, legally and ethically," she said.
Lee was arrested on Saturday along with a helmsman and the ship's relatively inexperienced third officer, who was in charge of the bridge when the ship first ran into trouble.
Three more officers and an engineer were detained by police on Monday and prosecutors said they could face similar charges of criminal negligence and deserting passengers.
A transcript of the final radio communications between the Sewol and marine traffic control suggested a scene of total confusion as the vessel listed sharply to one side.
In the end, the evacuation order was given only around 40 minutes after the ship ran into trouble, by which time it was listing so heavily that escape was almost impossible.
"Precious minutes just wasted," was the front-page verdict of the Dong-A Ilbo daily on Monday.
Lee has insisted he had acted in the passengers' best interest, delaying the order to abandon ship because he feared people would be swept away and drowned.
Meanwhile, local TV stations aired excerpts Monday of a 2010 promotional video in which Lee said ferries offered the safest public transport "as long as you follow the instruction of our crew".
Realistic hopes of finding survivors have disappeared, but families of the missing still oppose the use of heavy cranes to lift the ship before divers have searched every section.
The United States is sending a navy salvage ship to help with the recovery of the ferry, the Pentagon said Monday, deploying the USNS Safeguard to the area from Thailand.
South Korea has not formally requested the ship, which can lift, tow and conduct diving operations, but a spokesman said it would be sent regardless as a precaution.
A US navy amphibious assault ship, the USS Bonhomme Richard, is already taking part in rescue operations.
Divers took more than two days to access the submerged ferry, and the first bodies from inside the vessel were not recovered until Sunday.
Officials said divers had rigged up multiple guide lines Monday into a dining hall as well as cabins on the third and fourth levels where many bodies were believed to be trapped.
"This allows multiple rescue workers to enter the ship at the same time to speed up operations," said Ko Myeong-Seok, a spokesman for the government task force handling the disaster.
- Survivor trauma -
Of the 476 people on board the Sewol, 352 were students from the Danwon High School in Ansan city just south of Seoul, who were on an organised trip to the holiday island of Jeju.
Cha Sang-Hoon, the head of the hospital in Ansan where 74 student survivors are being treated, said 20 percent of them were suffering from serious mental stress and depression.
South Koreans have been stunned by the tragedy, which looks set to become one of the country's worst peacetime disasters and has unleashed profound national grief.
The weeping of devastated family members could be heard across the harbour on Jindo island as boats brought the most recently recovered bodies in from the nearby rescue site Monday morning.
Wrapped in white cloth, each body was gently lifted off the boats and placed on a stretcher which was then carried away by six uniformed police wearing surgical face masks.
In a nearby tent they were placed on white tables and prepared as best as possible for the grieving relatives to make a visual identification.
The families have bitterly criticised the official response to the disaster, saying delays in accessing the submerged ship may have robbed any survivors of their last chance to make it out alive.
In her comments Monday, Park said the government should review its crisis response system.

The pre-release talking points for the new Dirty Projectors album seem to boil down to this: By focusing on songs, not songs strung together into a concept album, one of music's most unapologetically artsy bands is making a bold bid for accessibility. You know the recurring Jimmy Kimmel bit that mashes up local newsmakers reading from the same press release? You could do something similar with the press thus far on Swing Lo Magellan and find subtle variations on "most listenable record to date" and "most song-oriented set yet." Over and over, ad nauseam.
Now that it's actually here, the notion that the band is less challenging seems a little silly. Swing Lo Magellan ain't The Suburbs. It's actually an uneasy record — the melodies are slippery, the beats jittery, and the textures disjointed. Toss aside the single, "Gun Has No Trigger," point your cursor to any other track, and there's little to suggest this is poised to be some sort of commercial breakthrough. But that's not to say there aren't some great Dirty Projectors songs here. The set's best — the kind of song that mastermind David Longstreth might have based an entire record around in the "old days" — is "Dance for You." Handclaps, a splash of vocal reverb, and a simple guitar line add up to something equal parts Brian Wilson and M. Ward. And a short orchestral break (it's a burst, really) is as unexpected the sixth time you hear it as the first. Plus, hearing Longstreth sing the line "I boogied down the gargoyle streets" is pretty unexpected in itself. It's a song that, by Dirty Projectors standards, would be hard to have imagined a few albums ago. But accessible? That's debatable. What's not debatable is that a song this gorgeous and interesting will still be gorgeous and interesting long after the talking points have run their course.
Because Blur have already done what the Pixies haven't managed for going on nine years: actually record new music. So we don't think, even for a minute, their reunion is a blatant cash grab. And because, if you were ranking Blur's catalogue song-for-song, this would fall squarely in the top quarter.

DES MOINES Autopsy results show the bassist for heavy metal band Slipknot died of an accidental overdose of morphine and fentanyl, a synthetic morphine substitute, police said Monday.
Paul Gray was found dead in a suburban Des Moines hotel room on May 25. A hotel worker told a 911 dispatcher that a hypodermic needle was found near Gray's body and that pills also were found in the room.
The autopsy shows he died of an overdose, Urbandale police said in a news release. They also said the autospy revealed signs of significant heart disease.
No evidence has been found showing Gray had a prescription for the drugs, police spokesman Sgt. Dave Disney said. Police are trying to find out how Gray got them.
"There is no evidence that a doctor prescribed either one of those substances," Disney said.
Disney said charges are possible but that it is too early to discuss specifically what those charges could be.
A person answering the phone at Slipknot's record company, New York-based Roadrunner Records, declined to comment and said that there would be no official comment from the company or band until one is posted on the band's website. No such statement was posted on Slipknot's website as of late Monday afternoon.
Phone listings for his wife, Brenna Gray, and Corey Taylor, a founding member of the band, were not immediately found.
Gray was a co-founder of the Des Moines-based band known for its groteque masks, thrashing sounds and aggressive, dark lyrics.
Slipknot emerged in the mid-1990s and it's 1999 debut album sold about 2 million copies. The band won a Grammy in 2006 for best metal performance for the song Before I Forget.

Nearly 400 new cereals hit the market last year. Adding to the confusion as you stand in the store aisle: Nutritional differences among brands are more vast than with almost any other kind of food, experts say. So which one's best for you?
Well, that depends. Are you trying to eat more fiber? Lose a few pounds? Quiet those 3 p.m. stomach rumbles? The cereal you choose should be guided by your nutritional needs as well as your taste buds.
Sarah Krieger, RD, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, name-drops her faves for these common situations:
Best for fiber
General Mills' Fiber One Original. It packs 14 grams—more than half of what you need for the day.
Best for low-cal
Kashi's 7 Whole Grain Puffs. A cup has a mere 70 calories and a hefty 18 grams of whole grain.
Best for snacks
General Mills' Wheat Chex. Crunchy with a smidge of sweetness, a serving delivers whole grains, fiber, and all the folic acid women need daily. "Chips or pretzels pale in comparison," Krieger says.
Best for Picky Kids
Kellogg's Frosted Mini Wheats Little Bites. In a Yale University ranking of 50-plus cereals that target kids and families, it was No. 1 for nutrition. "The tiny biscuits have more whole grains and fiber than most other kiddie cereals," Krieger says. Close runner-up: Cheerios.

You couldn't hope for a more lovely November day in Montreal.
Bright sunshine.
Temperatures in the low teens.
Young people walking around in tee-shirts and shorts.
Considering what we know is coming in a month or so, this Saturday was a gift from the gods.
Then the sun went down.
And so did the Canadiens.
Rangers goaltender Cam Talbot – making his first start against hockey's most storied franchise, in the league's most boisterous arena – could have played the game in a tee shirt and shorts.
That's how easy Newton's 22-save shutout was against what could be described as a popgun offence … but that wouldn't be fair to popguns.
Alex Galchenyuk: No shots on goal, and his one attempt was blocked.
P.K. Subban: No shots on goal, while three were blocked and one missed the net.
Rene Bourque: Zero SoG.
Max Pacioretty had one.
As we sometimes forget in Montreal, there are two teams on the ice.
Credit the Rangers with a superb defensive effort. The Canadiens were continually frustrated in their efforts to find enough time and space to string together some passes and generate offence. They were outskated and outbattled for pucks by the visitors, who have been playing solid, Alain Vigneault-style hockey – even without Rick Nash.
The Rangers had been idle since Tuesday and were well-rested.
The Canadiens won a Shootout in Columbus Friday night, then flew back to Montreal.
And man, as the old joke goes, were their arms ever tired! Not to mention their legs.
The team will play two more Friday-Saturday back-to-backs this month. Both Friday away games are in Washington, and the Saturday home opponents are Pittsburgh on the 23rd and Toronto on the 30th. Carey Price will have to be at least as good as he was against the rangers – and probably better – to hold the Penguins and Leafs to single goals.
You'd start a lively barroom argument by suggesting Price is the best goaltender in the National Hockey League. There would be support for Antti Niemi, Jonathan Quick, the Toronto tandem of Jonathan Bernier and james Reimer, our old friend Jaro Halak …
It's a long list. But let me restate the assertion:
Carey Price is the best goaltender playing for a team that doesn't score.
The Canadiens are 20th in NHL scoring. And they save their most galling offensive ineptitude for home ice.
Playing in front of some of the world's most knowledgeable hockey fans – many of whom are old enough to remember Guy Lafleur and the offensive juggernauts of the 1970s – the Canadiens have scored 29 goals in 12 home games. And 12 of those were in the first three games on Bell Centre ice.
In the nine games since, the Canadiens have averaged 1.89 goals per game. They've been shut out on home ice by San Jose and the Rangers, managing just 22 shots on goal in each loss.
This matches their total of goose eggs in 48 games last season – when only one of the shutouts, a 6-0 pasting at the hands of the Leafs – was at the Bell Centre.
People who have never been to a hockey game in Montreal can trust me on this: Fans do not like seeing a big fat 0 beside the fabled CH logo on the scoreboard.
It wouldn't be so bad if visiting goaltenders were standing on their heads to shut out the locals.
But 22 shots on Talbot? 22 on Niemi?
Trailing by a goal Saturday night, the Canadiens went almost eight minutes into the third period before registering a shot on Talbot. And the one they finally got was a 47-foot wrister from the side boards by Daniel Brière – a shot that would have been stopped in the Timbits game between periods.
Why are your Montreal Canadiens like a short, 50-year-old used car salesman on Crescent St.?
Neither he nor they can score.
In terms of offence, the Canadiens are a one-line team. And when Lars Eller, Brandan Gallagher (who was just getting over the flu) and Alex Galchenyuk are bottled up, as they were against the Rangers, there's no one to pick up the scoring slack.
Max pacioretty has two goals in 11 games. Rene Bourque has five in 20.
david Desharnais – who I actually thought worked hard and was decent against the Rangers – has yet to score this season.
The Kiddie Corps – Gallagher, Eller, Galchenyuk and Michaël Bournival – have 24 of the 52 goals the Canadiens have scored this season. That's almost half the team's scoring, from four guys who aren't old enough to help with Movember.
The lack of scoring makes for some very boring nights at the Bell Centre. Despite the constant volume-pumping emanating from the PA system, fans are sitting on their hands.
Old-timers miss Guy Lafleur. Young pups miss Mike Cammalleri.
There have been nights when we miss Jacques Martin, whose teams played firewagon hockey compared to the hermetic ho-humery being coached by Michel Therrien.
Two more sleeps until Minnesota visits the Bell Centre.
Three if you count the game.
• Georges St. Pierre gets the decision? C'mon man!
