Popular misconception is to pump a bike's tires to the highest number printed on the sidewall by the manufacturer. Instead, the optimal pressure is that which yields in a 15% sidewall drop. Sidewall drop is a non-linear function of the load on the tire and its width. It can be computed based on the weight of the bike, rider, bags, and gear. It is also different between front and back, depending on the frame geometry.
With this App, you can instantly compute the optimal tire pressure from your phone or tablet wherever you may be: in your garage, on the road, at a friend's house.
* Enter weights in either pounds or kilograms
* Calculate pressures in either PSI or bar
* Tire widths from 19 to 60 mm; diameters of 26", 650B, and 700C; 4 of the most typical frame geometries or user-defined measurements

About SORBA Woodstock
The Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association, Woodstock, GA Chapter (SORBA-W), was formed in March, 2000, by a group of local mountain bikers. SORBA-W was formed in part due to the closure of trails at Boling Park in Canton, GA to off-road cycling. With the mission to preserve, protect, and educate the community, SORBA-W's primary focus has been advocacy, mountain bike trail development, and trail maintenance in Cherokee County. As an extension of the main SORBA organization, SORBA-W also assists with rides, festivals, and the advancement of off-road cycling throughout the southeastern United States.

DETROIT — General Motors Corp. said Thursday that its profit this year will fall to $4 to $5 a share as health-care expenses rise and the company loses money in Europe. It reiterated that it expects to report a 2004 profit of $6 to $6.50 a share.
"They're alive, but not kicking very much anymore," said David Healy, an analyst at New York-based Burnham Securities Inc. "It's going to be a boring investment."
Chief Executive Rick Wagoner said increased competition from Asian automakers, higher health-care costs and rising interest rates are offsetting some of the effect of new and redesigned vehicles.
GM has pushed its annual profit goal of $10 a share from "mid-decade" to "as early as 2007."
"I wouldn't hold my breath for $10 a share," Healy said. "You'd probably turn blue. A lot of it is legacy costs [such as pensions and retiree health care], and that's not going to go away. A lot of it is also competition in the market, and that's not going away either."
GM said North American automotive operations may earn $500 million this year as health-care costs increase by about $1 billion. GM forecast European losses this year of about $500 million.

The crow, also known as the carrion crow, is a large black bird found commonly throughout Ireland. They are known for their distinct cawing call and their intelligence.
The crow is a large bird that can be identified by its glossy black feathers and robust build. At about 17 inches in length, it is larger than most other birds found in Ireland. The crow has a distinctive voice and can often be heard cawing loudly from a distance.
Crows are omnivores and can eat a wide variety of foods. They feed on insects, small animals, fruits, and even carrion. They are known to be opportunistic feeders and are often seen scavenging for food around farms, urban areas, and even landfills.
Crows can be found in a variety of habitats, including woodlands, farmlands, and urban areas. They often nest in tall trees, and their nests can be easily spotted due to their large size and untidy appearance.
The crow is a large bird, with a wingspan of around 39 inches. They weigh around 1 pound and can stand up to 17 inches tall.
Male and female crows are very similar in appearance and size, making it difficult to tell them apart. The only noticeable difference between male and female crows is their behavior during mating season, where males will often try to impress females by showing off their strength and agility.
Crows can be found all over Ireland, and are a common sight in most urban and rural areas. They can often be seen foraging for food in fields or on the side of the road.
Crows can be found in Ireland all year round, as they do not migrate to other areas during the winter months.
Crows are known to be exceptionally intelligent and have been observed using tools to obtain food. They have also been known to exhibit a wide range of emotions, including grief and joy. Crows are also believed to have a strong memory and to be able to recognize individual humans, often remembering people who have been kind to them or have provided them with food.

The VIBRO-MAC® is a machine virtually unmatched in ability to manufacture vibrated dry cast products. VIBRO-MAC offers producers a versatile, high production system to make such products and shapes as elliptical, arch, round, pre-bed, jacking and PVC protective-lined pipe, box culverts and manhole products. Steel end ring, tongue and groove, profile gasket, confined O-Ring, bevel and big bell R-4 pipe can also be produced on one or more of the machine’s stations.
Material is fed into a round holding hopper designed to reduce sticking. The round-shaped hopper enables multiple batching options regardless of conveyor position. The hopper is equipped with a hydraulically driven agitator to eliminate bridging and improve material flow. A clean-out gate is included on the rear of the hopper.
Concrete travels to the distribution head on a reversible contoured troughing conveyor belt designed to efficiently transport more material with less loss.
Material Distribution Chute
The stainless steel material distribution chute, which rotates in either direction, ensures a free flow of material directly into the form set. Spillage is reduced, as is cleaning and maintenance time. The tracking roller on the end of the chute follows any contour or shape of product for exact placement of concrete.
Cap Positioner Assemblies
Patented cap positioner assemblies hydraulically press the top header ring into the concrete for maximum compaction of the spigot, eliminating the need for a special presshead assembly in each size. Assemblies are mounted on the form for core strip, or in the core for form strip.
Centering and Isolation Mechanisms
VIBRO-MAC forms are suspended off of the floor by centering and isolation mechanisms. Vibration is isolated and all the energy is retained in the form set. Forms are self centering in the isolators, and each isolator has a quick-change feature.
Core Lift Cylinders
Hydraulic core strip lift cylinders on each station assist the bridge crane when removing the core and pipe from the form by helping overcome the friction bond between the product and the form. This reduces bridge crane requirements.
Pneumatically-actuated retractable feet on the core lock underneath the pallet to carry the pallet and reinforcing cage to the machine. The feet also support the finished pipe and joint ring set as they are transported to the curing area.
One floor-mounted pedestal-type jib crane is supplied per station for placing headers into forms.
Energy-efficient rotary electric vibrators incorporate roller bearings that offer exceptional performance and extended lube intervals for low maintenance and long life. Adjustable eccentric weights allow force adjustment for precise vibrational control.
Computerized Tracking System
Computerized tracking system provides automatic distribution chute positioning for various round, non-round pipe and box culvert profiles. The system includes actuators and controls for controlling chute rotation and pitch to track and feed a predetermined profile. A computerized flat shuttle style conveyor can also be supplied.
Additional Electric Vibrators
Additional electric vibrators may be required, depending on the size of product to be produced. Consult your Besser sales representative.
Station Support Stand
Special support stands can be added to allow different- length products to be produced alternately on the manufacturing stations.
Additional station option includes all necessary components to set up and operate an additional VIBRO-MAC manufacturing station.

ILLINOIS APPELLATE COURT FIRST DISTRICT, FOURTH DIVISION.
OCTOBER 23, 1968.
ROBERT BOATMAN, PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT,
ALVIN JORDAN, DEFENDANT-APPELLEE.
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. HUGO M.
FRIEND, Judge, presiding. Reversed and remanded.
MR. PRESIDING JUSTICE MCCORMICK DELIVERED THE OPINION OF THE COURT.
Robert Boatman, plaintiff, filed a suit to recover damages for personal injuries allegedly sustained in the fall of an elevator in a commercial building. On September 13, 1962, plaintiff filed a second amended complaint, the one which is germane to the instant appeal. In that complaint the plaintiff joined as defendants Alvin Jordan, the owner of the building; one Elmer C. Warner, the previous owner of the building; Sherwin-Williams Co., and Lowe Brothers Co., who were either tenants or subtenants on or prior to January 7, 1961, the date of the accident; and two elevator maintenance companies. The complaint alleged that on or prior to that date, each, or some of the defendants, were guilty of negligent acts or negligent omissions which proximately caused physical injury to the plaintiff. All of the defendants filed answers. Jordan filed a third-party complaint against Warner, the elevator maintenance companies, and Forest Paint Company.
On November 27, 1964, defendant Jordan filed a motion with supporting affidavits and exhibits, seeking summary judgment against Boatman on the sole ground that plaintiff's claim was barred by the Workmen's Compensation Act, as set forth in detail later in this opinion. Boatman filed a reply to the motion and produced depositions on oral examination of Jordan and co-defendant Warner, the previous owner. The trial court sustained Jordan's motion for summary judgment in his favor, and in that order, in accordance with section 50(2) found that there was no just reason for delay in enforcement or appeal. From that order of the trial court this appeal is taken.
The plaintiff, Robert Boatman, was employed as a laborer by Forest Paint Co., in Forest Park, Illinois. He had been working in that capacity for six months prior to January 7, 1961. On that day, at about 9:00 a.m., the plaintiff was working with the foreman, Daniel Shaw, at 7236-7250 Franklin Street, Franklin Park, Illinois. They were engaged in moving the place of business of Forest Paint Company. At the request and direction of defendant Jordan, they were moving and storing drums of resin. With Jordan present, they rolled some drums onto the freight elevator of the building; took the drums to the fourth floor, removed them from the elevator, and stored them in a place designated by Jordan. Jordan then left and told Boatman and Shaw to take the other load up to the fourth floor.
After rolling six or eight drums onto the elevator Shaw and Boatman went to the fourth floor. The elevator was operated by pulling on a rope to start it and pulling another rope to stop it. After stopping at the fourth floor they remembered that they had to pick up some boards on the third floor. Shaw pulled the rope and the elevator started downward; when they got to the third floor he pulled the rope to stop. The elevator seemed to stop for an instant, then fell to the bottom of the shaft. The accident was caused by the breaking of rusty cables of the elevator. Boatman suffered physical injuries and received workmen's compensation from Forest Paint Co., his employer.
The building in which the accident occurred had been sold by Warner and his wife; title to the property was taken in trust by Oak Park National Bank for the sole benefit of Alvin Jordan, who was president, director and principal stockholder of Forest Paint Company. In his deposition submitted on the hearing on the motion for summary judgment, Jordan stated that the building was purchased by him in his own name as the sole beneficial owner under the trust, and that the price was paid from his own bank account. The deed in trust was dated November 4, 1960, and the sale was consummated November 15, 1960.
In the early part of October, Jordan and Warner viewed the premises. In his deposition Jordan stated that Warner told him he had just had the elevator inspected; that up to November 1960 the elevator had been inspected and serviced by Trimon Elevator Company.
On December 22, 1960, Jordan, by written lease, demised the entire building to Forest Paint Co., "to be occupied solely for the purpose of a paint factory, warehouse, office and a paint store," the lease to become effective January 1, 1961, and to terminate on October 31, 1962. After the Christmas holidays in 1960, Forest Paint Co. started to move in. The lease contained a clause providing that the lessee would keep said premises, including all appurtenances, in good repair during the term of the lease, at lessee's expense.
In his amended answer to the amended complaint, Jordan, among other affirmative defenses, pleaded the bar of section 5(a) of the Workmen's Compensation Act (Ill Rev Stats 1961, c 48, § 138.5(a)), which provides:
"No common law or statutory right to recover damages from the employer or his employees for injury or death sustained by any employee while engaged in the line of his duty as such employee, other than the compensation herein provided, shall be available to any employee who is covered by the provisions of this Act, to any one wholly or partially dependent upon him, the legal representatives of his estate, or any one otherwise entitled to recover damages for such injury."
At the time of the occurrence Boatman was an employee of a corporation occupying the building in question as a tenant under a formal lease from Jordan, the defendant, who was also president and principal stockholder of the corporate employer-tenant. In this court the only issue briefed by either party is whether Boatman's action against Jordan is barred by section 5(a) of the Workmen's Compensation Act, since Jordan was either the employer of Boatman, or a fellow-employee, or both. Jordan contends for the affirmative of that proposition.
Boatman, on the other hand, contends here that Jordan was not sued in his capacity as president of Boatman's employer, Forest Paint Co., but solely in his individual capacity as a landlord with certain duties to persons using the elevator in the building owned by him. In any case, a president of a corporation under Illinois law is not ipso facto a co-employee; in the instant case, the owner-landlord an individual, and the tenant-employer a corporation, were separate and distinct entities, and section 5(a) of the Workmen's Compensation Act is not applicable.
Boatman argues that Jordan has admitted that the building was purchased with his own funds and that he personally received a rental of $900 per month from Forest Paint Co., the corporate-tenant. In the brief filed by Jordan in this court he stated:
"Plaintiff in asking this Court to overrule the motion judge essentially contends that defendant as president and principal stockholder of Forest Paint was not an employe of that company within the meaning of Section 5(a) of the Workmen's Compensation Act; that in any event plaintiff has brought this action against defendant as an individual, and as owner of the building, and not as president or agent of the company. Plaintiff also urges this Court not to pierce the `corporate veil,' but to treat defendant as one entity and Forest Paint as another. On these premises, plaintiff contends further that since defendant in the usual scheme of things purportedly would have an independent liability as owner of the building, supposing plaintiff able to prove his case under the issues of negligence alleged in his amended complaint, triable issues of fact on the question of defendant's liability were for the jury and improperly were taken from the jury by the motion judge in ruling favorably on defendant's motion for summary judgment."
It is the rule in Illinois that an individual making a lease with an entity purporting to be a corporation is estopped to deny the separate corporate existence of the lessee. West Side Auction House Co. v. Connecticut Mut. Life Ins. Co., 186 Ill. 156, 160, 57 N.E. 839. It has also been held that the doctrine of corporate entity is one of substance and validity and should be ignored with caution. Superior Coal Co. v. Department of Finance, 377 Ill. 282, 36 N.E.2d 354.
In Earp v. Schmitz, 334 Ill. App. 382, 388, 79 N.E.2d 637, the court said:
"There is no controversy about the rules that a corporation is a distinct entity; that a sole stockholder is not the owner of corporate property; and that generally one who has created a corporate entity will not be permitted to disregard it to gain an advantage, which under it would be lost."
In Superior Coal Co. v. Department of Finance, supra, the court discussed the legal fiction of the corporate entity and said that as a general rule a corporation and its stockholders are deemed separate entities. The court quoted from Commerce Trust Co. v. Woodbury, 77 F.2d 478, where it was stated, at page 487:
". . . the corporation will be regarded as a legal entity, as a general rule, and the courts will ignore the fiction of corporate entity only with caution, and when the circumstances justify it, and when it is used as a subterfuge to defeat public convenience, justify wrong, or perpetrate a fraud."
In Dregne v. Five Cent Cab Co., 381 Ill. 594, 46 N.E.2d 386, the court lays down the rule that a corporation is an entity separate and distinct from its shareholders, and the fact that the shareholders of two corporations are identical does not mean that the two corporations are to be considered as a single entity.
It has been held that a director is not liable for a tort committed by a corporation unless he actively participated in the wrongdoing, and in Lowell Hoit & Co. v. Detig, 320 Ill. App. 179, 50 N.E.2d 602, the court said, at 183: "The mere fact that a person is a director in a corporation does not necessarily render him liable for the torts of the corporation or its agents. In other words, directors are not to be held liable for the negligence of the corporation merely because of their official relation to it." (Citing 19 CJS 271, and Kulesza v. Chicago Daily News, Inc., 311 Ill. App. 117, 35 N.E.2d 517.)
In this court Jordan argues, citing Larson, Workmen's Compensation, § 54.10, page 786, who criticizes the Illinois courts' construction of the term "employee," according to the common law concepts, and he further argues that under the construction of the word "employee" in other jurisdictions, the word should be given a broad meaning. In support of his contention Jordan cites Chmelik v. Vana, 31 Ill.2d 272, 201 N.E.2d 434, which is not at all in point.
Angerstein, Illinois Workmen's Compensation (1952), also thinks the common-law rule should not be employed in workmen's compensation cases. However, he flatly states in section 141, that it is generally held that officers of a corporation and those acting in an executive or managerial capacity, are not per se employees within the provisions of the Compensation Act and are not entitled to compensation in the case of accidental injury. He states that the essential reason is that one person cannot be both employer and employee at the same time.
In a late decision handed down by the Illinois Supreme Court, B.W. Sales Co. v. Industrial Commission, 35 Ill.2d 418, 220 N.E.2d 405, the court says that the sole issue presented is whether the claimant, the sole stockholder of B.W. Sales Company, a corporation of which he is president, treasurer and director, is an employee of that corporation within the meaning of the Workmen's Compensation Act. The court points out that this is a case of first impression in Illinois. The question was as to whether the claimant was entitled to receive compensation from the corporation for an injury allegedly sustained in the course of his duties as an employee. The plaintiff was injured in an automobile accident when he was returning from Bloomington, Illinois, to Dundee, where he lived and where the corporation maintained its offices as manufacturers' representative selling industrial brushes. Claimant had driven from Dundee to Bloomington to sell brushes to another company and was returning when the accident occurred. The court cites and quotes as follows:
"Section 1 of the Illinois Workmen's Compensation Act (Ill Rev Stats 1965, chap 48, par 138.1(a)2) defines the term `employer' as: `Every person, firm, public or private corporation, including hospitals, public service, eleemosynary, religious or charitable corporations or associations who have any person in service or under any contract for hire, express or implied, oral or written, . . . .' Paragraph (b) of said section (Ill Rev Stats 1965, chap 48, par 138.1 (b)2) defines an `employee' as: `Every person in the service of another under any contract of hire, express or implied, oral or written, . . . .'"
The court cites Stevens v. Industrial Commission, 346 Ill. 495, 179 N.E. 102, as follows:
"[t]he court adopted the so-called dual capacity doctrine followed by a majority of the States. Under such doctrine an officer, director or stockholder will not be denied compensation merely because he is an officer, director or stockholder, if, as a matter of fact, at the time of his injury he is engaged in manual labor or the ordinary duties of a workman and receives pay in the capacity of an employee, or if he was engaged in employment palpably separate and distinct from the official duties falling upon him as an officer of the corporation. 99 CJS, Workmen's Compensation, sec 82, pp 302-304.
"The court concluded in Stevens that a secretary and treasurer of a corporation in which he owned 48% of the stock was acting as an employee in going to a debtor's place of business to collect an account and was entitled to compensation for an injury occurring on such a trip."
In the B.W. Sales Co. case the court also cites Grossman v. Industrial Commission, 376 Ill. 198, 33 N.E.2d 444, and quotes:
"`It is clear that in order to entitle an officer of a corporation to recover compensation under the Workmen's Compensation Act he must prove that his injury was received while engaged in employment as an employee of the company and not in the performance of the duties appertaining to his official capacity.'"
In that case the court takes the view that at the time of his injury the claimant was performing in a capacity as a traveling salesman and not as an officer of the company; therefore, his injuries were compensable unless the corporate entity be disregarded.
In Ryan v. State Auto Parts Corp., 255 Ill. App. 422, the plaintiff, while on the premises of the defendant, was injured by falling down an elevator shaft negligently left open and unguarded. He brought suit against the defendant and it was argued that he could not bring the suit since at the time he was in the employ of the Motor Transportation Company which, with the defendant, was under the Illinois Workmen's Compensation Act. The plaintiff was the executive manager of the company; he had learned that defendant had some secondhand trucks for sale and he went to examine them with a view of buying them for the company. While on the defendant's premises on this errand the accident occurred. The court held that at the time of the accident the plaintiff was not acting as an employee of the transportation company and was entitled to prosecute his claim by an action at common law. The court said, at page 424: "One who is an officer of a corporation, while acting as such, represents the corporation and his acts are the acts of the corporation. He makes the contracts of employment of the corporation with the employees, and it would be an obvious misnomer to call him an employee while so acting for the corporation."
It is apparent that without some showing of an actual employment the president of a one-man or principally-owned corporation cannot be considered its employee merely because of that fact. While the cases cited deal with the question of the circumstances under which an officer of a corporation may collect compensation, nevertheless, the rule therein laid down is controlling.
In our opinion, under the cases and text writers cited, at the time of the accident Jordan could not have been considered a fellow-employee of Boatman, and consequently a common-law suit could be brought by Boatman against him, and whether or not the Illinois cases, as the defendant argues, may be subject to just criticism, is immaterial, as they are binding upon us.
The judgment of the Circuit Court is reversed and the cause remanded for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion.
Reversed and remanded.
DRUCKER and ENGLISH, JJ., concur.

It’s the first of it’s kind they say, and I believe them. For all of recorded history, when soldiers of one country invaded and occupied another, deaths among the invading forces were accepted as ‘casualties of war’, not homicides. A soldier on active duty in a war zone couldn’t be ‘murdered’. At least until now.

The Germanwings crash “trial by media” continues unabated. The most recent evidence produced to back up the official story is the alleged discovery of a cell phone video of the last moments of the plane and its passengers.

The U.S. majors were reaching for superlatives last week as a cluster of pix scaled new peaks of profitability in foreign markets for a rip-roaring start to 1993.
Among the milestones:
- “Beauty and the Beast’s” overseas gross soared to $ 165 million, beating its domestic total by some $ 20 million. Add that to “Little Mermaid,””Dead Poets Society” and “Pretty Woman” among Disney titles that have performed significantly better internationally than domestically.
- “The Bodyguard” sped past $ 70.5 million. It’s already Warner Bros.’ highest earner ever in Japan, amassing $ 20.6 million through the fifth weekend, and the distrib says it’s on track to hit $ 30 million there. Pointing to its holding power, WB projects it will wind up with upwards of $ 150 million overseas.
- “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” vaulted to $ 115 million and is still No. 1 in Germany, France and parts of Scandinavia.
- “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” posted the third best opening ever in Australia, behind “Crocodile Dundee 2” and “Terminator 2,” making $ 2.15 million on 105 screens for a hot $ 20,561 average.
Of the other high-flyers in foreign, “Sister Act” sashayed to $ 65 million and “Death Becomes Her,” paradoxically a stronger draw in foreign-language territories than in the U.K. and Australia, advanced to $ 46.5 million.
“A Few Good Men” bowed in Britain, pocketing $ 2.08 million on 170 prints, rated by exhibs as very good but not outstanding.
Britain’s UCI chain described the holiday period as “absolutely phenomenal,” the best for many years. The Blighty top 10 racked up $ 10.5 million last week, a slight dip from the previous frame’s $ 11.8 million. “The Bodyguard” was up by 5% in the second round on 264 prints, $ 7.4 million to date.
But in France when folks went back to work and school Jan. 4, most titles plummeted by 50% to 75%. Yet ticket sales in Paris in the week ended Jan. 5 tallied a healthy 760,000, comfortably ahead of last year’s 670,000.
In Italy, “Beauty and the Beast” ascended to a dizzying $ 23.4 million in the fifth weekend, while “The Bodyguard” raced to $ 8.2 million in the fourth on 170 . The Disney pic is on course to dislodge “Basic Instinct” as the champ in the current season, which started last September.
Exhibs say “Home Alone 2” isn’t as potent in Italy as elsewhere, having logged $ 4 million through the third. Italo top 10 earned $ 15.3 million in the week ended Jan. 3, down from the previous frame’s $ 17.7 million, but enough to keep cinemas happy.
In Germany, the top 10’s receipts slid by 25% to a still buoyant $ 10.6 million.
The New Year holiday gave the Japanese B.O. a big lift. The top trio are “The Bodyguard,””Home Alone 2” ($ 18 million through the third weekend) and “Dracula” ($ 5 million, same period).
Still benefiting from school vacation, the Australian B.O. jumped by 32% to $ 8.2 million. Apart from “Dracula,” the other hot entry was “Honey, I Blew Up the Kid,” with a perky $ 5,294 average on 114 screens. “Good Men” held steady in the third week on 87 screens, $ 2.98 million total.
But Australia is giving a quick burial to “Leap of Faith” and “Midnight Sting” (i.e., “Diggstown”), which has tanked also in parts of Europe. MGM’s marketing department took a lot of heat but UIP is having no more luck with the new title and campaign.


The job market sure is rough right now, but the blow job market is an entirely different playing field. If you really want to be counted as one of those employed nine months after graduation, you’ve got to to put up or shut up — or in this case, put out or get out.
It seems that Scott Steiner, a California judge and adjunct law professor at Chapman University School of Law, allegedly decided to trade sex for job placement opportunities. The woman whom he allegedly entered into an affair with eventually landed a position with the Orange County District Attorney’s Office, the place where he used to work. Steiner used to work in the DA’s Gang Unit, but given the allegations here, the good judge may as well have worked in the Gang Bang Unit.
Oh, and we should probably mention that this woman may have been a law student….
At this point, the facts are sparse, but we do know that the investigation into Steiner’s sexual proclivities started at Chapman Law where he taught California Evidence and Criminal Procedure. The law school apparently called the DA’s office to make an inquiry on or about February 26, and that’s when things got sticky (including Steiner’s courthouse desk, at least according to the allegations). Here are some details from the OC Weekly:
Judge Scott Steiner, the target of the investigation, has been reassigned away from weighty duties in the county’s central courthouse in Santa Ana to minor duties in Fullerton court, according to multiple, well-placed sources.
Steiner, a part-time law professor at Chapman University’s law school, has not been answering phone calls or email, but has hired acclaimed, high-price criminal defense lawyer Paul S. Meyer of Costa Mesa.
Meyer declined an interview and a Chapman spokeswoman refused to discuss Steiner’s status, but other well-placed legal sources say that the allegations may include courthouse sex.
At this time, no one’s talking — neither Steiner, nor his attorney, nor the law school — but maybe someone should. KTLA 5 says it’s “unclear how the woman is connected to the law school,” but we’re left to believe that she was a law student. Why else would the school launch an inquiry into the DA’s hires? We know that hiring statistics are a law school’s bread and butter, but when jobs allegedly come at the expense of students’ dignity (not that the search for entry-level legal employment these days is all that dignified in the first place), greater investigation is warranted. KTLA 5 has video coverage on Steiner’s alleged quid pro quo arrangement:
Good luck to Steiner in this investigation. It’s a good thing he’s up to snuff on evidence and criminal procedure.

The treatment of childhood obesity It is not an easy task, neither for the doctors, nor for the family, nor for the children since nowadays the treatment is based on the modification of the lifestyles, which implies in the alteration of their eating and physical habits .
The older the child, the more difficult it will be to make these changes, but not impossible. In the latest research on childhood overweight, among other things, it was found that 8% of Spanish children go to school without having had breakfast.
The method used to treat childhood obesity is fundamentally based on the combination of a limited diet with increased physical activity, nutritional education and behavior change. But all this will only be effective if the child has the support and encouragement of his family. The child's behavior therapy begins with learning self-control.
For the diet to take effect It is necessary for the child to receive stimulation and social reinforcement, through positive messages, so that he can improve his self-esteem and feel more self-confident. In other words, the initial work is based especially on fighting anxiety and depression, feelings that can cause a child's weight gain.
It is important to know the eating and behavioral habits of the child and the family. Know what they eat, the intervals from one meal to another, the exercise they do, as well as their habits regarding leisure. From that, it is possible to better detect what causes obesity in the child. Changing habits through behavioral therapy is an essential component in the treatment of the overweight child.
When the child is under 5 years of age, it is the parents who must lead the treatment, that is, answer for the child everything that interests the therapy. From 5 to 9 years, children will have more autonomy in the treatment, although it requires the vigilance and responsibility of the parents. It is only after 9 or 10 years that the child will have a greater degree of responsibility and will be able to respond with almost total freedom to treatment.
Physical activities must be applied in parallel with the diet. Initially, a more attractive activity will be sought and one that is more in accordance with the interests and possibilities of the child. It will begin with gentle movements that the child gradually adjusts to. If a strong exercise is requested at first, the child may become frightened, tired, and eventually reject it.
The exercise should be gentle at first, but developed continuously, daily, and be fun and interesting. And it is important that the child practice it and share it with 2 or 3 other people, at most.
- At the same time that a physical activity is introduced to the child's life, the time that he spends on television or other sedentary activities should be reduced.
- It has been shown that the use of drugs in the treatment of childhood obesity is not entirely effective.
- The sooner the problem of overweight is detected in the child and treated, the better the result will be.
- Treatment will only be effective if the child has the support and encouragement of his family
- It is easier to change the behavior of children than of their parents, although if they succeed it can favor everyone.
- Treatment is not processed in the same way for all children. The character, disposition, interests and possibilities of each child must be considered. Each child is a different world and they must be treated in the same way

Retirement hasn’t fazed the Main Street Electrical Parade, which has now been resurrected multiple times since it “glowed” away, supposedly forever, in 1996. But when the electronic-music-infused stalwart returns once again to Disneyland on April 22, this nostalgia celebration will have a new look.
Consider it a makeover that will be decidedly less patriotic.
Characters and scenes from Disney films such as the recently released “Encanto” and “Raya and the Last Dragon” will join modern and classic Disney franchises to anchor a closing float designed to honor the 50th anniversary of the parade. Overall, the Main Street Electrical Parade will represent more than a dozen animated Disney and Pixar stories.
Concept art released by Disney showed “Encanto” characters Mirabel and Antonio atop a float flowing with purple lights and a kaleidoscope-inspired take on the magical home at the heart of the film. Other properties represented in the parade include “The Jungle Book,” “Coco,” “Mulan,” “Brave,” “Aladdin” and “The Princess and the Frog.” While Disney didn’t reveal how each film would appear, the floats will be dual-sided with different images and characters on each side. Closing the cavalcade will be a newly designed interpretation of Sleeping Beauty Castle.
More nighttime shows, including World of Color in Disney California Adventure and the fireworks staple Disneyland Forever in the original park, also will begin April 22. The nighttime entertainment returns nearly a year after Disneyland reopened after an extended pandemic closure. Fan favorite Disneyland show “Fantasmic!” currently is pegged to reopen May 28.
But the most notable change appears to be happening with the Main Street Electrical Parade, which is doing away with an America-first finale that had survived a number of decades and featured a closing stars-and-stripes float of the United States flag, followed by a larger-than-life eagle.
The new float will give the Main Street Electrical Parade an infusion of fresh film- and park-inspired intellectual property and strike Disneyland of one of its last remaining symbols of arguably stale patriotism. Also returning atop the closing processional is “Pinocchio’s” Blue Fairy, a character that in the parade’s early days had led it, as well as characters from “Frozen,” “Hercules” and “Pocahontas.”
Hardcore Disney fans will be thrilled to learn that the newly designed Electrical Parade float is inspired by the artwork of Mary Blair, whose career in animation contributed to the looks of “Peter Pan,” “Alice in Wonderland” and the Donald Duck-starring “Saludos Amigos.” But she’s best known as the artist who was the driving force behind Disneyland staple It’s a Small World, still today a gleeful diorama dedicated to childlike whimsies from across the globe. Some of the characters on the float are said to be in a Small World-influenced Blair style.
For the Electrical Parade, this is a move that is long overdue.
America is a collection of stories and myths from multiple cultures. The previous “To Honor America” parade float increasingly felt out of place at one of our country’s most fabled and recognizable institutions. With dancers clad in colonial garb, it felt like a relic of a time when America longed for “the good ol’ days” rather than forward momentum. Indeed, the stars-and-stripes finale came along in 1979, shortly after America’s 1976 bicentennial celebration (a Disneyland representative noted the parade was on hiatus in 1975 and 1976).
Admittedly, when it comes to outdated American exceptionalism, the park has sometimes been a tad slow (see the Jungle Cruise). Yet since Day One Disney has been a reflection of American culture more than it has been a love letter to American nationalism, a holdover from the park’s Walt Disney-era beginnings. Modern Disney, with a global fan base, is less interested in attempting to view the world through an American lens. And though it may be a cynical choice to pump more of its own tales into the parks, it’s one sector where corporate and public interests align for better, more timeless attractions.
Today, American culture the Disney way is “Coco,” “Encanto,” “Moana,” “The Princess and the Frog,” “Black Panther,” “Frozen,” “Raya and the Last Dragon” and others. Each of these tales, taken together, though not above criticism, is more reflective of the diverse communities that comprise theme park constituents than something that looks better left to the Fourth of July.
Disneyland, of course, is a place of tradition, and even today the park houses a robotic Abe Lincoln, stages flag retreats and tells the story of the first Christmas each December. But part of the park’s heritage is change. The Electrical Parade has been a source of relative constant upheaval. Originally, the parade ended with a series of small floats, intermingling Disney characters and musical instruments. In 2009, Disney added Tinker Bell to the start of the parade and placed the Blue Fairy on a long hiatus.
Now anchoring the parade as the closing float will be a 19-foot-tall interpretation of Sleeping Beauty Castle — one that incorporates designs from the façade of It’s a Small World — instead of the giant American eagle that followed the flag float. Sleeping Beauty Castle, Disneyland’s centerpiece since its July 1955 opening, has been copied and reimagined at other Disney parks, but it remains the most eye-catching symbol of the Anaheim park.
It’s a SoCal tradition that stands as a lasting testament to the power of American culture and consumerism. In nonpandemic times, Disneyland was estimated to draw 19 million guests per year, and the castle is the sign to all that we are not just somewhere imagined but also otherworldly.
Sleeping Beauty Castle also is symbolic of a place where America’s most popular art form, cinema, can take physical shape and become a spot to reframe, recontextualize and reorient our relationship with our country’s myths and possibilities. And one of the most impactful ways to get to know one another is through the stories we have told over different eras — tales that can represent the full spectrum of the American population — rather than rose-tinted American flag-waving.

The neck is one of the most common causes of Vertigo and Dizziness. How does it happen… and what the heck is the Vestibular System?
Working in the field of Vestibular Rehabilitation as physiotherapists – we see so many types and causes of dizziness, vertigo and imbalance.
One of the most common of these causes is called Cervicogenic Dizziness This is simply dizziness that is caused by your neck.
In this short blog post I will be describing how the neck relates to your Vestibular System (the system that helps you maintain equilibrium).
After this introduction, I will delve into some of the issues that can arise in the neck and Vestibular System that can create feelings of dizziness, vertigo, nausea and imbalance.
At the end of the article I will also give some recommendations as to what you can do to treat and manage your symptoms.
Let’s dive in and learn more about necks, dizziness, vertigo and the vestibular system!
First up: what is the Vestibular System
The Vestibular System is made up of all the systems in your body that tell your brain where you are in space at any given moment.
It tells your brain whether you are standing on a slope. It tells your brain if your car is going up a hill or around a corner. It tells you whether your body is moving or whether the world around you is moving.
It does all this by combining all the messages sent to your brain from the following key sensory areas:
- Your eyes (vision)
- Your inner ear (acceleration, velocity and tilt)
- Your muscles and joints (providing tactile sense of where you are positioned in relation to surfaces and other body parts)
These messages are all sent along nerve pathways and then your brain puts it all together and tells you information like:
- “I am leaning to the left”
- “My car is going around a corner”
- “A car is driving past me but I am still”
How does is the Neck involved in the Vestibular System and what is Cervicogenic Dizziness
The neck fits into the third key sensory area that I listed above.
It provides a sense of where your head is in space because when your head moves, joints and muscles in your neck will of course move in a certain way to allow for this motion and also control the speed that your head is moving.
When this happens, nerve endings will send messages from your neck to your brain. For example if your head tilts to the left, the joints on the left side of your neck will close and the nerve endings will tell your brain that these joints have closed up – your brain will use this information to form a better idea of where your head is in space.
This system works best when all your sensory systems are telling your brain information that makes sense together. For example, both your visual and inner ear systems can confirm that your head is indeed tilted to the left.
Cervicogenic or Neck related dizziness often occurs when the messages don’t add up and are a bit mismatched. So for example if you have a lot of tightness in your neck or you have injured a muscle in your neck – the information it is picking up may not be completely accurate (this is a normal adaptation to injury).
Because of this your neck might be telling you that your head is centred when in fact you are actually tilting it to the left!
What came first: Chicken or the Egg? The Neck or the Vestibular system?
It can actually go both ways! The example above explained how an injury or tightness in the neck can affect your vestibular system. This is quite common, but it can also go the other way.
Some people with a condition affecting their inner ear such as Vestibular Neuritis can start to get problems with neck tightness or neck pain due to their altered perception of where their head is in space.
For example, if your inner ear is telling you that you are falling to the left – your neck muscles on the right may tighten to try an “right” your position and keep you upright.
Also people who have conditions which affect their inner ear (such as BPPV, Vestibular Neuritis, Meniere’s and more) will often have a loss of balance. People who feel at risk of falling will often tense muscles in their neck, legs and core to try and compensate for this loss of balance.
Treatment for Cervicogenic Dizziness and other Vestibular Conditions
There are many treatment options available for Cervicogenic Dizziness and a wide range of other vestibular disorders.
The main thing we need to do in Vestibular Rehabilitation as physiotherapists is first assess to see which system has been affected. Is it the neck, the inner ear, the eyes, or another system causing the problem.
Once we determine the underlying cause is the neck or is cervicogenic in origin we can commence putting together a Vestibular Rehabilitation program. This can consist of the following:
- Manual Treatment (such as joint release, soft tissue therapies and dry needling) to release tight muscles and joints that may be causing an altered sense of head positioning)
- Exercise and postural correction – sometimes you may need to strengthen the muscles required to keep your head centred and balanced. You may also need to retrain your sense of joint position with the help of physio feedback, mirrors, video and more
- Vestibular Rehabilitation exercises – these may involve eye tracking and head positioning exercises to help better match the messages sent from your eyes and inner ear to the messages you are getting from the nerves in your neck

It happened once again yesterday. A middle aged corporate executive met me for an official meeting but did not see a professional, instead saw a woman who his manhood had given the birthright to hit on. I am not sure at what point in the meeting did I realize what was really happening but I do know that the discomfort had set in early on. His mere gaze was making me feel creepy. His smirks were sending unpleasant vibes. His handshake at the end did it all. The pervert refused to let go of my hand. With four other people in the room, he had the guts to be so blatant while I on the other hand was meek enough to wiggle out my hand, walk out of that office and not utter a word.
I was seething with anger, was frustrated with my own reaction and to some extent felt exploited. I had to talk to let the steam out with someone who would understand, someone who I trust. So I called baloo. “Not all of them are swines. Sorry you have to meet them but keep going on”, said my friend and I decided to bury the episode. While on the face of it I have buried the episode I am still thinking about it and wondering if I did something to elicit that behavior. Rationality tells me that I am a complete idiot to hold myself even remotely responsible and yet the violated me feels maybe I do need to partake some of the blame. Just the thought of it makes me feel sick in the pit of my stomach. I also know that it is my word against that of this hungry man and hence there is not much I can do. So maybe I should just forget it all like a nightmare.
What happened with me was minor and trivial compared to the agony of molested and/or raped women. Their trauma is not easily assuaged. Yet the society (eastern and western) often neglects their suffering and deems them partially accountable. Take the case of the 25-year old rape victim in the UK who was told that her compensation would be reduced 25% as she had been drinking before the assault. It took a lawyer to point out that drinking was in no form or fashion an invitation for exploitation. The girl ultimately received the compensation in entirety, however, the intermediate verdict did the work of salt in the wounds; ensuring that any healing of the scars would be more aggravating.
In a number of countries sexual assault is considered an offense only if penetration happens or in case the physical association occurs without consent. What about the cases where there is no intercourse but the forced foreplay itself inhibits the woman from seeking sexual intimacy in the future? What about marital rape or instances where the woman gives in to physical intimacy only to save her own life? And why is it that the woman who is the victim needs to answer all the difficult questions, face the embarrassment and further expose her humiliation for evidence?
The feeling of being victimized, extended emotional and physical exposure, insensitive dealings of the law enforcement authorities and the attitude of the society prevents majority of the women from speaking out about sexual abuse that they have been subjected to. The ordeal ferments within causing confidence issues and emotional imbalances. With time the anguish only worsens and the woman suffers in silence while the perpetrator goes about leading a normal life probably inflicting pain on more innocent women who cross his path.
What can satisfy this hunger of men? Is it unlimited flow of the female body in varied shapes and sizes at their beck and call? Is it easy access to anything and everything that can be associated with sex? Or is it the other extreme of starving men completely of any female association? Or should every accused be simply castrated to set an example for the others of his kind? There needs to be a solution and there needs to be more sympathy. In a society where we fight for the rights of animals, we need to find some way to restore respect for the gender responsible for sustaining human life.

The prospect of insects being used in burger patties should only be seen as complementary to livestock production, says an Australian scientist at the forefront of some of the most interesting alternative protein research.
As unappetising as it may sound to those who've been raised on prime Australian beef, the larvae of a waste-eating fly is one of top contenders as a new protein source for humans.
The black soldier fly's larvae, already used for animal food, contains key human health nutrients - it's richer in zinc and iron than lean red meat and its calcium content is as high as that of milk, according to work conducted by University of Queensland meat scientist Professor Louw Hoffman.
Consumer insight work has also shown that when added to beef in patties on a 50:50 basis, the end product has a texture, flavour and colour most people can't distinguish from 100 per cent beef, Prof Hoffman said.
He is now studying the hurdles that need to be overcome before flies can directly enter the human food supply chain.
But should the commercial production of such a product eventuate, it would never replace beef, Prof Hoffman said.
Rather, it would seek to fill niche parts of the market, namely flexitarians looking to reduce their animal protein consumption mainly for perceived environment-protection reasons.
"If you look at alternative proteins, the big companies investing in start-ups worldwide don't see it as competition to animal meat," Prof Hoffman said.
"Nor supermarkets, who are certainly not taking fresh beef off their shelves to make room for plant-based products.
"Rather they are looking at additional markets. Flexitarians, mostly young people, feel they can make a difference to the environment if they eat alternative proteins every now and then."
On the subject of consumer acceptance, Prof Hoffman points out the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization estimates two billion people around the world already eat insects regularly as part of their diet.
"Eating of insects is old news in Africa and Asia," he said.
"And look at sushi - when it first was available in Western culture, people said yuk, raw fish, but look how popular it is now.
"When the fly larvae is incorporated into another product, I think it will gain consumer acceptance."
Prof Hoffman believes the larger challenge will be in food regulation.
"We need to investigate what feed we can give to larvae to make it safe enough to be a human food source," he said.
"This includes understanding the different nutritional profiles of the fly at key stages of its growth, and the best ways to process the fly to preserve its nutritional value."
Prof Hoffman has also completed a scoping study on how feeding the larvae to poultry effects growth rates and meat taste.
"We've replaced between 75 and 100 per cent of the soya part of poultry rations - which is often up to 60pc of their total feed - and found no change to feed conversion or growth rates, nor to the taste of the meat," he said.
