Well said, Myles!Maybe we're rarities, but we end up bringing Bodhi to restaurants in the $40/plate range pretty frequently, as that's fairly normal cost here in SF and along the coast. He's usually welcomed with a Kid's Menu and owners that go out of their way to greet him, accommodate us and make a buffer between us and guests without kids. We do use Yelp to find places that are kid-friendly, though. If Bodhi were misbehaving, we'd remedy it by either pulling him outside or distracting him with a toy or book. My expectations of his behavior don't have anything to do with what my tab is going to be at the end of the night. Whether we're eating at a cheap lunch counter or at a 5-star, we're conscientious of the people around us.
That said, I don't believe it's an immediate social faux-pas to walk into a pricey restaurant with a kid just because the child might act up. It seems like the expectation from some is that, due to kids' volatile natures, parents should not bring small children into high-end establishments EVER. (And there's the perrennial debate over whether toddlers should be allowed to fly in first class.) I am a paying customer, and for all intents and purposes, Bodhi is too. So as long an establishment will take a parent's business - not ban it with a sign at the door saying "no children allowed" - then my expectation is that they cater to me and everyone in my party. If people expect a child-free zone, they should patronize establishments that expressly forbid children. If Bodhi shouts during his meal - because as a 3 yr old, he just may, I'll take him out, but I don't appreciate dirty looks from other patrons on my way out the door, as they chose to eat at a place that allows children, kwim?
L, that Lord of the Flies/Ring story made me smile....much better to be a hobbit than a wild boy!

On Fox DHX 5.0 suspensions the bottom out protection can be adjusted. Turn the large blue knob behind the fluid reservoir in a clockwise direction. This increases the bottom out resistance. Picture 1 The longer progression thus prevents the pistons from bottoming out.
Turn the knob in an anti-clockwise direction in order to reduce the intensity of the bottom out protection. You can turn the knob via by hand or a 4mm Allen key.
The greater the rider's weight and the tougher the terrain you're riding in, the higher the adjustment of the bottom out protection should be.
The adjustment of the bottom out protection also changes the air pressure in the Boost Valve chamber. You should therefore adjust the pressure of the Boost Valve after you have altered the bottom out protection. The air pressure of the Boost Valve in the Fox DHX 5.0 shock must be between 8.6 and 15.5 bar.
Spring elements must not bottom out. Always mind the maximum and minimum air pressure of the spring elements.

Discover the relationships between law and public policy and access vital legal knowledge available to public policy practitioners. Gain a solid background in legal concepts, cases, and current trends that will give you a head start if you decide to pursue a law degree or if you encounter legal questions in your workplace.
Legal decisions and the law often have a major impact on the creation of public policy. In this course, students explore and discuss the relationship between laws and public policy and the impact that court decisions have on policy and policy leaders. They examine the role of administrative agencies in the creation and execution of law and public policy and the role of the courts in resolving challenges to agency rule making; conflicts between executive and legislative branches of government; and conflicts between and among federal, state, and local laws. Students have the opportunity to sharpen their critical-thinking and research-database skills as they search for real-world examples of how fundamental legal concepts and processes affect the creation and execution of law and public policy.
There is a wealth of vital legal knowledge available to public policy practitioners. In this course, students explore the many print and electronic resources available for legal research. Students examine how practitioners use the law to inform the creation of public policy. They engage in assignments designed to provide practical application of content to learn how to navigate legal libraries, cite cases, and employ research to support public policy. Students also gain experience in applying legal research to case studies and contemporary issues.
Major issues in the Supreme Court continue to have an impact on public policy at the state and local levels. In this course, students examine major past and current U.S. Supreme Court cases related to abortion, privacy, due process, personal property, and freedom of religion and speech. They also examine major cases related to state powers, government entitlement, and powers of the judicial and federal branches of government. From this assessment, students determine how outcomes of such cases affect public policy. Students also explore and discuss individual rights, property rights, administrative law, immigration law, and foreign policy as well as contemporary issues and case studies, to which they apply legal research and verdicts.
With this specialization, you will learn how to create and maintain sustainable communities that are environmentally sound, economically prosperous, and socially equitable. Explore the interrelated elements that make a community viable and access the tools and resources for sustainable community development. Be prepared to succeed in such roles as a town manager, department head, or director of a social service organization.
Creating and maintaining sustainable and livable communities requires leaders who understand the connections among the natural, built, and social environments, and who can address these connections in a holistic and integrated fashion. Students in this course examine concepts of sustainability and livability and explore popular approaches to creating and maintaining communities that are more environmentally sound, economically prosperous, and socially equitable. They also focus on strategies to halt urban sprawl and to promote alternative modes of transportation. Students define and explore these concepts through case studies and examples drawn from local communities.
Effective community leaders must be familiar with a wide range of tools, strategies, and skills to create sustainable communities. In this course, students examine these elements to learn how leaders build capacity for community change; assess community needs and resources; create community visions; promote stakeholder interest and participation; analyze community problems; and carry out practices and interventions to improve sustainability in communities. They also explore sustainability frameworks and models, and they apply these and other concepts presented in the course to develop a proposal for sustainable community development, focusing on community assessment, stakeholder involvement, and development planning.
Public decision makers must understand and address a variety of complex and interrelated issues, such as land use and transportation, energy and environment, housing and schools, and regional economic development. In this course, students learn how leaders attend to these issues in light of existing policies and contemporary social, economic, political, demographic, and technological trends. Students explore and discuss planning processes, tools, approaches, strategies, and policies used to create sustainable and livable communities through collaborative processes involving multiple stakeholders. Through the development of a policy-option written assignment, students assess critical issues and identify problem-solving strategies.
As governmental and nongovernmental institutions increasingly overlap and evolve, the demand for well-educated management professionals to excel in public service continues to grow. Advance in the public or nonprofit sector by gaining an understanding of how to work with government and businesses to address shared issues.
Nonprofit organizations (NPOs) can serve to positively affect people's lives through social change, but they require leaders who have a fundamental understanding of the nonprofit sector, including related ethical, legal, and global perspectives. Students in this course explore these viewpoints as well as the history, foundations, and types of NPOs. They also examine the diverse political, social, and economic contexts within which NPOs exist. Students explore and apply marketing, public relations, and communication concepts and strategies to case studies and contemporary situations. Gaining practical insight, students also apply theories presented in the course to the development of a concept paper guiding the development of a nonprofit organization.
The success of nonprofit organizations (NPOs) is largely dependent on the effective management of program volunteers and board members—individuals who often serve as the lifeblood of NPOs. Students in this course explore the volunteer management process, including volunteer recruitment, orientation, training, supervision, and evaluation. They focus on methods that organizations use to create and maintain an effective Board of Directors to ensure that the board governs and guides the organization toward their mission. Students design a board development or volunteer management plan based on processes presented in the course and fundamental concepts acquired earlier in the program.
All nonprofit organizations require financial resources. Obtaining philanthropic financial support is essential to program delivery and stability. Students in this course explore the concepts of philanthropy and development, identification of funding sources, donor/prospect cultivation and education, and solicitation and appreciation strategies. They focus on processes and strategies for creating an organizational philanthropic culture based on ethics and donor relationships. Using these strategies and other concepts presented in the course, students create a resource development plan for a nonprofit organization.
Policy shapes the workings of government and its partners. This specialization provides an understanding of the critical context within which organizations and individuals act in a democratic society. It will prepare you to function knowledgeably within this context and to work collaboratively to help shape public policy development and implementation.
Students in this course are introduced to the crafts of policymaking and policy analysis in the U.S. democratic system. Students examine the tasks involved in the policy process, including setting agendas, using policy analysis tools, managing the political process, implementing policy, and providing evaluations and feedback. Though this analysis, students work toward developing skills to conduct policy and economic analyses as well as to determine the political feasibility of proposed policies. They learn about regulation as a policy choice. They also work toward enhancing their ability to develop alternatives and to assess strategies proposed to achieve certain policy objectives. Students engage in scholarly-writing assignments and discussions on policy areas of interest, such as communications, immigration, transportation, housing, labor, arts, and environmental policies.
There are a variety of tools available to policymakers and policy analysts to evaluate the impact of social programs. In this course, students examine these tools and work toward gaining the skills needed to develop plans for evaluation and to assess social programs effectively. Students engage in discussions and assignments designed to provide practical application of content on a variety of topics, such as selecting programs to evaluate, crafting program descriptions, identifying stakeholders and their interests, developing logic models, framing evaluation questions, applying utilization-focused evaluation techniques, using quantitative and qualitative tools to complete formative and summative evaluations, and providing evaluation reports and feedback to decision makers. Using concepts presented in the course, students gain hands-on experience developing an evaluation design for a social program.
Public policy makers often rely on microeconomic and macroeconomic models to formulate new policies and reevaluate existing polices. In this course, students examine the use of such models in the public policy setting and assess how public finance influences policy choices as well as implementation alternatives. Through weekly, analytical writing assignments and peer discussions, students explore tax policies and tax incentive models; budgeting, public/private models; market influences on policy; the impact of government expenditures on income redistribution; and economic considerations of welfare; food stamps, workers' compensation, social security, and outsourcing of public programs. Synthesizing course content and applying critical-thinking skills, students assess a local government jurisdiction, examine the decisions of policy makers, and recommend improvements based on economic models.
With unprecedented fiscal challenges and rising performance expectations facing public and nonprofit institutions, managers must be prepared to apply core business principles to improve the efficiencies and effectiveness of their organizations. In this specialization, apply a systems perspective as you develop strategies for organizational change in the public organization of your choice. Discover how transformative change occurs in complex public systems, and learn to use the language of leadership to motivate, inspire, and competently lead your organization and shape public policy.
Students in this course engage in a collaborative study of the changing strategic context of public administration. Students apply a systems perspective to construct a public enterprise "mental" model of a public organization to understand the strategic context for practical action and the stakeholder relations involved. Students demonstrate their knowledge of the interrelated flows of money, knowledge, and influence, as they weave these elements in their model. They engage in readings and practical assignments that emphasize management and leadership in a time of unprecedented and unpredictable change. Students also work toward developing professional-action habits for pragmatic-action learning in the practice of public administration.
Students in this course are engaged in a collaborative study of the nature and methods of transformative change in the complex human systems of contemporary public organizations. Students explore and employ a pragmatic-action-learning process for studying the experience of transformative change in complex systems. They examine the dynamics of complex adaptive systems to gain an understanding of how large-scale and highly interrelated human systems change through self-organization. Students explore and apply appreciative inquiry and other selected methods of transformative change to a positive organizational-change situation of personal interest. They also have the opportunity to develop professional-action habits for pragmatic-action learning in the practice of public administration.
In today's complex environment, leaders engaged in shaping public policy must know how to use the emotional as well as the intellectual power of language to motivate, inspire, and competently manage their organizations. In this course, students examine techniques, such as effective communication, used in dynamic leadership that affect conscious and unconscious influences on human behavior. Through discussions, group assignments, and individual projects, students apply theoretical and practical course content to demonstrate the necessary components for making effective human connections. Students also learn why stories, symbols, and metaphors are essential elements in the language of leadership.
The threat of terrorism is a constant concern prompting a continuing focus on preventing and resolving terrorist attacks. In this specialization, learn the immediate and long-term implications of anti-terrorist legislation and policies. Study how terrorism policies are drafted and enforced while you analyze the ethical issues related to human rights and the psychology of terrorism. Explore the effects of disaster, crisis, and trauma and the appropriate interventions for individuals and groups. Examine the roots of international and domestic terrorism, the catalysts and motivations for terrorist acts, and how media and technology may aid or counter terrorist activities.
There is no shortage of natural and human-made disasters, such as war, violence, genocide, and terrorist activities. Individuals and communities impacted by such disasters often need assistance from professionals who understand the social, cultural, and psychological complexities of crisis and trauma. Students in this course investigate how these incidents impact the psychology of individuals and groups. They assess traditional and current literature and complete practical exercises to learn about theories of trauma; actions and behaviors following a disaster; stress, coping, and adjustment difficulties; psychological disorders (e.g., post-traumatic stress disorder); and available resources to deal with trauma. Considering the various ways crisis professionals can promote positive social change, students devote special attention to the importance and development of culturally appropriate, service-delivery programs and interventions for individuals affected and traumatized by disasters.
Many sources define terrorism as a type of psychological warfare, as it induces fear and feelings of vulnerability. Therefore, professionals need to understand all aspects of terrorism to help prevent further terroristic acts and respond to victims who have been affected psychologically. Students in this course explore terrorism from a psychological perspective. They examine types of terrorism; contributing factors related to the development of terrorists and terrorist organizations; counterterrorism agencies and laws; the impact of terrorist events on individuals, families, and communities; prevention, intervention, and postvention with survivors; media coverage of terrorist events; human rights and ethical issues; and future trends related to the psychology of terrorism. Students also examine the threat of terrorism in their own community and evaluate the potential impact. Using concepts presented in the course, they consider applications for preventative measures as well as strategies to promote resiliency among individual and families who may become victims of terrorism.

Early Trailer for Team Ico's 'Project Trico' Leaked?What is likely an early bit of footage from Team Ico's next project--a work apparently known as "Project Trico"--has leaked by way of PlaystationLifestyle.net.
The video shows a game that blends the companion-based gameplay of Ico with a massive rat-like creature reminiscent of Shadow of the Colossus. This combination has previously been hinted at by Team Ico leader Fumito Ueda.
"[Team Ico's new project] might be something similar to what's been done," said Ueda at this year's GDC. "Kind of a middleground... the essence of the game is rather close to Ico."

Police in Canton nabbed three suspected robbers, but they aren't the only heroes stemming from a Monday hold-up at a Verizon store. A customer is calling a Verizon worker a hero.
"When you're confronted with somebody with an automatic rifle like that, it's a horrible, horrible feeling," said Gerald Soubly.
He and his girlfriend were the only customers inside a Verizon store in Canton on Monday morning when a group of guys armed with automatic weapons showed up.
"Dan, who was the salesman, he sees the rifle, and he says, 'Call 9-1-1. They're going to rob us.' And these guys are banging on the door trying to get in," Soubly explained. "And he pushed the doors closed in front of these guys, and he put the lock pin in. Now he is facing these guys with this rifle. He put himself in extreme danger."
"The guy with the AK-47, he starts hammering on the glass. That didn't work, so he takes the rifle, and he fires the shot, and he breaks the glass open. They come running in, and they start grabbing things," he added.
SkyFox was on the scene as Canton police conducted a city-wide manhunt. The suspects' car was seen fleeing south on Oakview. An officer rammed the vehicle. Three men fled on foot, but police weren't far behind them following footprints in the freshly fallen snow right to a storm cellar. All three were arrested.
"The report from Verizon was automatic weapons, and there's weapons in the vehicle that would be considered automatic weapons," said Sergeant Mark Gajeski.
Police sources told me these suspects will be questioned about similar crimes in Westland, Taylor, Garden City and Dearborn.
Soubly came back to Verizon on Tuesday to thank Dan for saving his life, but Dan had the day off. So, instead, he told Fox 2, "I want to just say thank you for the kind of heroism."
Police said there is surveillance video that they collected from the Verizon store. They turned that evidence over to the prosecutor.

RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) - It could be several more weeks before we know how Morgan Harrington was killed.
The Virginia Tech student's remains were found January 26 on a remote farm near Charlottesville.
An official with the state medical examiner's office say they are still waiting on toxicology reports to come back, which could take up to 12 weeks.
The office has ruled her death a homicide but has not determined a cause.
If you any information on her disappearance call State Police at 434 352-3467.

Michael Jordan recently talked about who would be on his ultimate pick up basketball team and it got me thinking, who would I want to have? First, here is who Jordan picked to accompany him; former teammate Scottie Pippen, James Worthy and Magic Johnson from the Lakers, and former Houston Rockets center Hakeem Olajuwon. Here is who I would choose to hit the pavement, hardwood or whatever surface with me and why.
Wilt Chamberlain- The only man to put up points in the three digit range in a game would be a popular choice. Not only was Wilt dominant for his time but he had a vertical jump of anywhere from 45-50 inches. He could easily play in today's game with some of the greatest athletes in the world.
John Stockton- I could choose someone who doesn't play the point guard position to distribute the basketball but why not have the guy who did it better than anyone else? Stockton's pin-point accuracy and dissection of defenses made him one of my favorite players to watch growing up.
LeBron James- The jack-of-all-trades best player in the current era of the NBA is a physical freak. James willingly does whatever the team asks of him. He is a force going to the hole, crafty with the ball in his hands and imagine Stockton throwing an alley-oop to this guy!
Bill Russell- The man won two NCAA Championships, a Gold medal at the 1956 Olympics, was the captain of the U.S. National Basketball team and oh 11 NBA Championships! And we haven't even gotten into how good of a player he was. I want a man with that winning mentality to round out my team as well as a ton of talent.
What four players are you choosing to join you for some 5-on-5?

My belt secured a gate from a bull
Recently while loading cattle for market on my farm in West Virginia I had a bull that rammed into a farm gate I had attached to my loading chute and broke the chain holding it. I again chained the gate and the bull broke the chain again and got out. Finally, I took off my Filson belt and secured the gate with it! Once again the bull tried to break through the gate but the Filson belt held tight and we loaded the bull for market! This is one tough-strong belt…I have used your products for many years and always have found them to be of the best quality.
