By Gillian Wong The Associated Press JINDO, SOuth KOrea » For a moment there is silence in the tent where bodies from the ferry disaster are brought for identification. Then the anguished cries begin. The families who line up here to view the decompos - ing bodies have not known for nearly a week whether they should grieve or not. Now that they know, they sound like they're being torn apart. "How do I live without you? How will your mother live without you?" a woman cried out Tuesday. She was with a woman who emerged from the tent crying and fell into a chair where relatives tried to com - fort her. One stood above her and cradled her head in her hands, stroking her face. "Bring back my daugh - ter!" the woman cried, call- ing out her child's name in agony. A man rushed over, lifted her on his back and carried her away. The confirmed death toll from the April 16 disaster off South Korea's southern coast reached 113 on Tues - day, officials said, and about 190 people were still missing. Four crew members accused of abandoning the ship and failing to protect the passen - gers were arrested, three days after warrants were is- sued for the captain and two other crew. The victims are over- whelmingly students of a single high school in Ansan, near Seoul. More than three- quarters of the 323 students are dead or missing, while nearly two-thirds of the other 153 people on board the ferry Sewol survived. The number of corpses recovered has risen sharply since the weekend, when div - ers battling strong currents and low visibility were finally able to enter the submerged vessel. Emergency task force spokesman Koh Myung-seok said bodies have mostly been found on the third and fourth floors of the ferry, where many passengers seemed to have gathered. Many stu - dents were housed in cabins on the fourth floor, near the stern of the ship, Koh said. One by one, coast guard officers carried the newly arrived bodies covered in white sheets from a boat to a tent on the dock of Jindo is - land Tuesday. The bodies are then driven in ambulances to two tents: one for men and boys, the other for women and girls. Families listen quietly out - side as an official briefs them, then line up and file in. Only relatives are allowed inside. Bodies are being identified visually, but family members have been providing DNA samples in case decomposi - tion makes that impossible. Twenty-two of the 29 members of the ferry's crew survived, and nine of them have been arrested or de - tained in connection with the investigation. The captain, Lee Joon-seok, and two crew members were arrested Saturday on suspi - cion of negligence and aban- doning people in need. Pros- ecutor Yang Jung-jin said a court issued arrest warrants Tuesday for four other crew members authorities had de - tained a day earlier. Two ad- ditional crew members were detained Tuesday. The four crew members arrested Tuesday talked to reporters after a court hear - ing, their faces hidden with caps, hooded sweatshirts and masks. One said they tried to cor- rect the ferry's listing early on but "various devices, such as the balance weight, didn't work. So we reported the dis - tress situation, according to the captain's judgment, and tried to launch the lifeboats, but the ferry was too tilted and we couldn't reach." The captain has said he waited to issue an evacua - tion order because the cur- rent was strong, the water was cold and passengers could have drifted away be- fore help arrived. But mar- itime experts said he could have ordered passengers to the deck — where they would have had a greater chance of survival — without telling them to abandon ship. The cause of the disas - ter is not yet known. Se- nior prosecutor Ahn Sang- don said investigators are considering factors includ- ing wind, ocean currents, freight, modifications made to the ship and the fact that it turned just before it be - gan listing. He said authori- ties will conduct a simulation and get experts' opinions. A Ministry of Ocean and Fisheries official had said Fri - day that the vessel had taken a sharp turn. But on Tuesday a ministry official, speaking on condition of anonymity saying he wasn't authorized to speak to the media, said the minis - try now has more complete details about the ship's path.

Comedy Night - Friday, May 2nd Comedy Night - Friday, May 2nd Comedy Night - Friday, May 2nd Comedy Night - Friday, May 2nd By Charles T. Price, MD Orthopedic Surgeon F or me, the quest to find real joint relief was more than professional. It was very personal. Hello, my name is Charles T. Price, MD. I'm a Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon and founder of the Institute For Better Bone Health (IBBH). Here's my true story of how Harvard researchers saved my wife from a life of frustration, and misery. And we owe it all to chicken soup! A Painful Beginning One day, my wife woke up with a stabbing pain in her shoulder. Soon, she could no longer clench her fists. And before we knew it, my wife could no longer grip a tennis racket or a golf club. She was scared that her life was suddenly going down the drain. In desperation, she saw her doctor who responded with typical remarks like "take ibuprofen and we'll arrange some physical therapy." And "this is not uncommon in your age group." A Life of Misery As an orthopedic specialist, I understood it was much more serious. That's because joint problems almost always get worse as you grow older. I've seen many patients over the years whose joint problems force them to live with misery until the joint needs surgery. Many can barely get out of a chair and have to give up many activities, the ultimate victims of their joint deterioration. FDA WARNS Against Over-the-Counter Medicine Her first reaction was to do what millions of other joint sufferers do -- run down to the local pharmacy and pick up some over-the- counter medicines like acetaminophen or NSAIDS such as ibuprofen, and start taking them every day. That was a big mistake because she immediately began to have indigestion, and some of the warnings included increased risk of heart attacks. The fact is, these so-called harmless medications are putting millions of people at risk for serious side effects and complications that can land them in the hospital. It's no wonder that the FDA has issued stern warnings that they should be used for a very short time, unless they are used under a doctor's supervision. Think twice about Prescription Medications And those prescription medications like COX-2 inhibitors are even worse. They come with a laundry list of side effects that include heart attack, strokes, blood clot, and even death! I knew it wasn't going to be easy. But then I caught a lucky break. A ShockiNg Discovery In the course of my research, I came across a report by team of scientists at the University of Nebraska that completely knocked my socks off. They discovered that real joint relief is possible with "undenatured type II collagen or UC-II ® " that helps provide the building blocks for cartilage. In other words... chicken soup! According to researchers, "chicken soup prevented the mobilization of immune systems cells to sites of inflammation .1 " Major Joint Breakthrough From... Chicken Soup! Upon further analysis, they determined that the soluble component of the chicken broth itself exerted this anti-inflammatory activity. The researchers believed it was likely the collagen from chicken bones in the broth that made all the difference. UC-II ® acts as a kind of 'reverse vaccine," one that regulates the immune system so that it stops mobilizing attacks against proteins normally found in healthy joint cartilage. A Complete Joint Tune-Up To accomplish my goal of a complete, comprehensive joint health formula, we added two more super joint-relieving ingredients. • Boswellia Serrate Extract For Joint Nourishment: Dating back to biblical times, Indian frankincense helps soothe the lining of the joints and is a lot more gentle on the stomach than aspirin. It has been proven effective in a specific study of knee joint sufferers (N. Kimmarkar, 2003). • AvoVida ® ASU: A Natural Shock Absorber: This extract from the oils of avocados and soybeans helps protect the cartilage surface of the joints (L. Lippiello, 2007) and research suggests that it also stimulates the production of new cartilage. Most importantly, it helps prevent dehydration of the joint surface so it can glide smoothly and act as a shock absorber. Supports Many Aspects of Joint Health The result is IBBH Joint Formula ® –- a proprietary blend of po werful joint- nourishing, cartilage-boosting ingredients in small capsules taken once a day. The unique triple-action formula delivers joint health from the inside out. It supports ligaments and fibrous capsule for mobility... the joint lining that makes lubricating fluids, ...and the cartilage surface. Ecstatic Users Getting Back in the Game Jonathan G. of Centerville, OH, says that he has experienced a "significant reduction in my discomfort as well as undeniably increased flexibility and range of motion. Other supplements have promised improvement, IBBH Joint Formula ® not only delivered, but exceeded on their promise." John C. of Tallahasse, FL says his hip was acting up every time he tried to exercise. "I saw a doctor that prescribed some medicine and rest which did not work.
