Malaysia and the Global Crisis: Impact, Response, Rebalancing Strategies
AbstractThe economic crisis that began in the United States had an effect on the developed world, including the European Union, Japan, and Singapore. The downturn of the economy in the United States, coupled with developments in the European Union, Japan, and Singapore, has affected the Malaysian economy. This paper argues that Malaysia, being a small open economy with a strong export-dependent manufacturing sector, was particularly vulnerable to the global crisis. The very countries that generate the demand for Malaysian exports have been struck by the crisis, leading to declines in output in Malaysia. These declines have resulted in labor market shocks which have led to retrenchments. The severity of the crisis and its prolonged duration requires an approach that is not unduly dependent on export-led growth. This paper will suggest that Malaysia adopt a rebalancing strategy in response to the current crisis.

Milwaukee 77, Central Connecticut State 51
Dec. 1, 2007
- The Panthers are now 2-0 all-time vs. CCSU, 3-0 against Northeast Conference teams and Connecticut teams.
- Aubri Rote is the first Panther other than Traci Edwards to lead the team in scoring since Nov. 25, 2006, a span of 26 games (including only games Edwards played in).
- Edwards did extend her school-record streak of double-digit scoring games to 27-straight. She also recorded her third double-double of the season and second in a row.
- UWM's 12 three-pointers are tied for the fourth-most in a game in school history.
- Milwaukee shot over 60 percent in a half for the first time since March 1, 2007. The Panthers shot 66.7 percent in the second half vs. UIC. That was also the last time UWM topped 50 points in a half.

A 41-year-old man was arrested after he allegedly shot and killed his neighbor during an argument on Friday. Police say Nicholas Oakes admitted to shooting and killing his neighbor before barricading himself inside his home near 52nd Street and Thomas. This was reportedly not the first time the men had been in a fight. Three schools were on lockdown before Oakes barricaded himself in the home. Police say Oakes was arrested after negotiating with him for hours.
He faces first degree murder charges. The neighbor's name has not been released because officers are still trying to contact his family.

Is an employer required to provide the reasonable accommodation that the individual wants?posted by SMPA at 5:48 PM on March 14, 2012 [4 favorites]
The employer may choose among reasonable accommodations as long as the chosen accommodation is effective. Thus, as part of the interactive process, the employer may offer alternative suggestions for reasonable accommodations and discuss their effectiveness in removing the workplace barrier that is impeding the individual with a disability.
If there are two possible reasonable accommodations, and one costs more or is more burdensome than the other, the employer may choose the less expensive or burdensome accommodation as long as it is effective (i.e., it would remove a workplace barrier, thereby providing the individual with an equal opportunity to apply for a position, to perform the essential functions of a position, or to gain equal access to a benefit or privilege of employment). Similarly, when there are two or more effective accommodations, the employer may choose the one that is easier to provide. In either situation, the employer does not have to show that it is an undue hardship to provide the more expensive or more difficult accommodation. If more than one accommodation is effective, "the preference of the individual with a disability should be given primary consideration. However, the employer providing the accommodation has the ultimate discretion to choose between effective accommodations."

Should You Add This Wide-Moat Company to Your Portfolio?
Ted is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Wide-moat companies invariably make the best long-term investments. Average companies come and go, but great businesses compound shareholder value year after year. Therefore, the best long-term risk-adjusted returns are found in wide-moat companies like Harley-Davidson (NYSE: HOG).
Harley-Davidson is the highest-regarded brand in motorcycles. Although many competitors, including Honda Motor (NYSE: HMC) and Polaris Industries (NYSE: PII) have caused it headaches through the years, Harley-Davidson is still the gold standard in the industry.
One of the key factors contributing to its long-term success is the company's focus on the higher end of the market. While Polaris and Honda sell economical models, Harley focuses on quality. This allows it to earn higher margins than its peers.
No doubt, Harley-Davidson's scale and dealer network contributes to its outsized margins, but its exploitation of its brand equity and focus on high-quality parts and products enables the company to consistently generate high margins.
Honda sells a much wider variety of motorcycles and related products than Harley-Davidson; it sells scooters, four-wheelers, and similar vehicles that appeal to a broader base of customers. This has enabled the company to expand its motorcycle division by competing for a completely different class of customer than Harley-Davidson attracts, though Honda's motorcycles have certainly gained a foothold in the American market.
Polaris is growing quickly in the U.S. and its international operations are better than Harley-Davidson's overseas segment, where the latter company does not have the extensive dealer network that makes its domestic segment so profitable.
Polaris is striving to become the low-cost producer in the industry and its strong growth in free cash flow suggests it is on the way to being successful.
That Honda and Polaris focus on different segments of the market is a boon to Harley-Davidson; although the former two companies sell lower-priced products, Harley-Davidson's core base of loyal customers seek quality over economy. So, while Honda and Polaris have grown their shares of the motorcycle market, neither has significantly infringed on Harley-Davidson's turf.
Investment case
Harley-Davidson's normal pre-tax income is about $1 billion, or $4.42 per share. The stock trades hands at about twelve times this figure. The normalized after-tax multiple is about 17.5.
At first glance, paying 17.5 times normal earnings is not an attractive investment. If you were to pay $17.50 for a never-ending stream of $1 annual dividends, your annual return would be an unremarkable 5.7%.
However, a closer glance at the numbers suggests shareholders will receive a double-digit annualized return over the next decade. First, the company is a chronic share repurchaser. Management has reduced or held even the company's share count each year for over a decade. If earnings did not grow at all, earnings per share still would have grown 35% over the last decade simply due to share repurchases.
In addition to being a chronic share repurchaser, Harley-Davidson also invests its money at an above-average rate of return. The company's return on invested capital -- that is, the amount it earns for each dollar invested in its business -- has traditionally been over 20%. Although it has fallen off in recent years as the stagnant economy takes its toll on all luxury goods providers, Harley-Davidson will likely resume outsized returns as the U.S. economy picks up again.
As a result of earning an above-average return on invested capital and constantly repurchasing shares, Harley-Davidson will likely grow its earning power per share at a rate that will enable shareholders to reap double-digit annual returns from the current share price.

When docking a large database, why does Glide sometimes fail with an error like the following?
posesort(): error 256 executing glide_sort command; will try 1 more time
Out of memory!
Is there a workaround, or a way to recover the intermediate results?
When docking a large database, it is important to split the job into multiple subjobs, so that the individual subjobs aren't too large. Very large subjobs may dock all the structures successfully, but the final sorting step is done in memory, which effectively limits the number of poses per subjob to 50-100K, depending on the amount of available memory.
For a 1 million compound library, we suggest splitting the job into at least 20 subjobs, and even more if you are expanding the number of ligand states with LigPrep or saving multiple poses per ligand. In addition to avoiding memory limitations, this will allow individual subjobs to complete in a reasonable amount of time, which is better for stability (very long processes are more susceptible to a variety of problems), and efficiency in restarting (fewer repeated calculations if a subjob has to be rerun). You can run a distributed Glide job with many more subjobs than processors/licenses used; these are independent parameters chosen in the Start dialog (or via '-NJOBS njobs' and '-HOST host/queue:ncpus' from the command line). Using more subjobs than processors also can be helpful for load balancing.
Unfortunately, there is a problem in Glide 5.5 that prevents the transfer of the 'raw' file (i.e., the intermediate results file) back to the launch directory when a job/subjob failure occurs. This means that if the temporary directories for your subjobs have been cleaned up already, there is no way to recover the job results, and you'll have to rerun the job. This problem is fixed in Glide 5.6 (Suite 2010). Please note that the results of completed subjobs (i.e., the 'pv' or 'lib' files) will never be lost.

FAQ - Carbon offsets
For investors
We strongly believe in ethical business, with respect and preservation
of humans, animals and the environment.
There are plenty of businesses that show it is possible to achieve
success on a foundation of fair labour conditions and environmental
credentials. Companies that operate with a high carbon footprint (and ecological
footprint) undermine the effort to achieve sustainability in our relationship
with the environment.
Businesses should be proactive in reversing climate change. The economic
potential of corporations to fund carbon capture via reforestation programmes
is so much greater than that of individuals that the key to success
is in their playing a leading role.
The general principles of capitalism can accommodate our urgent need to address
climate change. It is in the interest of a companys
shareholders to reverse climate change. It is no good to receive
dividends if we have no planet to live on. Ethical business
and offsetting on a large scale is good for businesses, it is an investment
in creating a sustainable future.
We do not believe in a carbon tax. It has no environmental
benefits unless it is used exclusively to fund carbon capture. It is more
pragmatic to incentivise companies to become zero footprint, or even
to super-offset
their emissions, in order to participate in reversing climate change.
Ultimately a sustainable future will be one where all business is ethical
and zero footprint.
Governments can play an active role in bringing about these changes by redefining
what is expected from business.

In the past year the price of carbon credits has tumbled to unprecedented low levels, making it uneconomical for project originators to fund new clean energy projects, given particularly in small-scale projects the cost of verification and issuance of carbon credits can exceed the sale price.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Early voting is underway for Wisconsin's fall primaries.
Municipal clerks have opened their windows for a two week absentee voting period which ends a week from Friday -- 4 days before the August 12th Election Day.
Majority Republicans have scaled back early voting, which ran for several weeks a few years ago.
Earlier this year, the GOP banned the absentee voting after 7 p.m. and on weekends, saying small towns cannot hold the same hours as the bigger cities -- and there needs to be uniformity statewide.
Critics said the Republicans were just trying to inconvenience the Democrats, because they're generally more successful in winning elections in the bigger cities. Scot Ross of the liberal One Wisconsin Now says the change affects mainly younger people as well as city dwellers.
Meanwhile, Government Accountability Board director Kevin Kennedy says the biggest question he gets is why voters cannot vote in both parties' primaries. As he points out, the purpose of primaries is for parties to pick their own finalists for November.
Wisconsin is unlike most other states because it has an open primary -- where voters can choose their parties anonymously. In most states, voters must publicly ask for a certain party's ballot.

Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt, Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre, Oberpfaffenhofen, 82230 Wessling, Germany
Abstract. The knowledge of the lightning-induced nitrogen oxides (LNOx) source is important for understanding and predicting the nitrogen oxides and ozone distributions in the troposphere and their trends, the oxidising capacity of the atmosphere, and the lifetime of trace gases destroyed by reactions with OH. This knowledge is further required for the assessment of other important NOx sources, in particular from aviation, the stratosphere, and from surface sources, and for understanding the possible feedback between climate changes and lightning. This paper reviews more then 3 decades of research. The review includes laboratory studies as well as surface, airborne and satellite-based observations of lightning and of NOx and related species in the atmosphere. Relevant data available from measurements in regions with strong LNOx influence are identified, including recent observations at midlatitudes and over tropical continents where most lightning occurs. Various methods to model LNOx at cloud scales or globally are described. Previous estimates are re-evaluated using the global annual mean flash frequency of 44±5 s−1 reported from OTD satellite data. From the review, mainly of airborne measurements near thunderstorms and cloud-resolving models, we conclude that a "typical" thunderstorm flash produces 15 (2–40)×1025 NO molecules per flash, equivalent to 250 mol NOx or 3.5 kg of N mass per flash with uncertainty factor from 0.13 to 2.7. Mainly as a result of previous global model studies for various LNOx parameterisations tested with related observations, the best estimate of the annual global LNOx nitrogen mass source and its uncertainty range is (5±3) Tg a−1 in this study. An accuracy of order 1 Tg a−1 or 20%, as necessary in particular for understanding tropical tropospheric chemistry, is still a challenging goal.

Katey (thinly) has inspired me to do a personal post about some of my favorite people on tumblr who deserve to be recognized for their awesomeness.
- Rebecca aka t-r-i-u-m-p-h. You are my absolute best friend in the world. I wish we talked more, but that's completely my fault because I'm a really shitty friend. You're so smart and funny and sarcastic and I'm so incredibly jealous of the way you're so damn insightful about yourself. It kills me a little that you're suffering so much and I wish I could take all your pain away. I want more than anything for you to be happy. I wish so much that you'd get help again because you really do deserve to be better and be able to move on with your life from all this shit. <3
- Ilissa aka lovetildawn. You are hands down one of the sweetest people I've ever had the pleasure of talking to. I have a secret wish to actually meet you in person one day. You've gone through so much and I really hate that about you because you're so kind and you didn't deserve a single thing that happened to you. I appreciate your messages more than you know and I'm so bad at replying to the messages that I get, but I always notice how you've gone out of your way to be so lovely to me which is something that I will never truly deserve. It bothers me so much to see how much you dislike yourself and I keep waiting for the day when you realize how special you are and that the world needs people like you to make it a better place.
- n0thingleftinside. I'm ashamed to say that I don't actually know you're name and I'm too shy/awkward to ask since it seems like I should know that. However, what I do know is your story (or at least what you've shared with me). You're a perfect example of how some of the worst things can happen to the best people. If I could, I would punish every single person who has ever hurt you- physically or emotionally. You've somehow managed to stay strong even in the face of all that is happened and I admire that so much about you. I have no idea how you actually feel, but the way you handle yourself inspires me to try harder in my own recovery. I would like nothing more than to see you fully heal from the pain you're feeling and live your life to its fullest. I know that great things are in store for you. Please don't ever give up on yourself. I get so worried about you when I see the things people say to you. I hope you know what bastards they are and they are only lying. It would be a shame if you ever believed a word they say because none of it is (or ever will be) true. I wish people would treat you with more compassion, which is yet another thing I admire about you: How sweet you are to other people even if you aren't treated the same way back. Just know that you deserve better and that if you ever feel like hurting yourself over something an anon told you, I will gladly strangle them through my computer screen.
- Lulu aka krankenhaus. Okay, I'm going to be completely honest here: When you started following me back in the good old days, I freaking fangirled like no other. I was amazed that despite how you were tumblr famous, you managed to always be so humble and modest. I know that you think very little of yourself and that you hate compliments. It's my hope that someday you'll be able to see yourself the way everyone else does. I wish I could give you the self esteem and confidence that you deserve to have. I feel like you have the inner strength to overcome all that you are going through right now and I hope you'll be able to use your experiences to help others. I think you'd make a great therapist. You've always remember the small details and listened when I needed someone and I truly appreciate you in general. For what it's worth, I believe in you.
- Kim aka vamoose. I'm not going to even pretend to act like I know what you've gone through because I really don't know and to say anything else would undermine you. This is going to be completely awkward so bear with me, but you're like a piece of chocolate that's hard on the outside, but all smooth in the center (told you it's be awkward) because it seems like you don't let anything get to you, but you're actually one of the kindest people on here. I feel like you're a survivor- things may not have been easier for you, but you adapt and handle yourself so well. I admire your ability to write so well. I wish I was able to morph my thoughts into words the way you do. I think we all just need to face the fact that you're a fucking princess.
- Pamela aka diietandcigarettes. We've never really talked the way I wish we could and part of that is my completely lacking ability of talking to people. I pretty much fell in love with you the day I found your tumblr. You were one of the first people who I ever saw speak their mind on here by simply not dealing with people's bullshit. You and staticbones used to make me laugh so hard that I would nearly pee myself and I always looked forward to seeing your guys' posts. It always amazed me how someone like you who seemed so well put together could struggle and you helped me realize I was in denial with my own illness. You pretty much inspired me to want to recover. I haven't talked to you in so long, but I wish you the best and that maybe someday you'll be able to meet Candice and live in a forest with lots of baby deer~
- El aka respiras. I feel like I can relate to you so much. You always seem so down to earth and easy to talk to. You seem so protected when it comes to your own thoughts and feelings, and I wish that you didn't have anything to hide. From the way you talk, I can see that you're so respectful of others even though you're like the queen of tumblr because you're blog is perf. I think everyone is a little jealous of how amazing every little thing about you is- whether or not you recognize your strength, idk, but everyone else can see it.
- Eleni aka enthusiasticallysane. This list of people could never be complete without you. You're 100% perfect- you're personality is flawless and I love how you can be so sarcastic to your anonymous haters (who I fucking hate btw). You don't deserve any hateful things whatsoever. I know that you're a caring and sweet person and it bothers me that people would even try to tear you down. I miss talking to you the way we did when I was still new to tumblr. I know a lot has changed since then, but I still know you're perfect and every single time I see you on my dashboard, I pray that you are able to recover and live a life that is worthy of someone of your greatness.
- Maria aka eeriemaria. I still can't believe that your blog was deleted twice. I love you so much, that I'd kick Beth in the shins. But enough of that, I think we need to talk about Pondi. I know how I feel about my dog and I'm so glad you have Pondi. The way you care about Pondi just shows what a lovely person you are. You always crack me up and I both admire and appreciate the way you can use humor to make depressing situations a little less sad. Whether or not you realize this, you inspire those around you to get better through your personal posts and funny stories. I can only hope that you can get better too. P.S.- we need more Chilean slang.
… this list is to be continued tomorrow or at some later date.

Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in the United States.
Tonight, when you get ready to retire for the evening, do me favor. Take your wallet — complete with social security card, credit cards, driver's license, and what the heck, throw in the family pictures — and leave it at the edge of your driveway. Then sleep well. "What?!?!? That's insane. Someone might steal it." you exclaim. Am I surprised by your reaction? Well, no, I agree wholeheartedly — if you leave your most important personal belongings in a relatively public location — light bulb moment — someone might steal it. This is such an intuitive reaction for us in the world of the "tangible," but make it "virtual," and we're leaving our wallets all over everyone's driveways — free for the taking. All I can ask is — what are we thinking?
Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in the United States. The Federal Trade Commission estimates that 9.9 million US consumers were swindled out of approximately $437 million in 2003, up about $100 million from 2002. Of which, $200 million can be attributed to Internet fraud. And don't think that businesses and financial institutions are immune — losing nearly $48 billion to identity theft in 2003. Is this surprising? No, not when you consider that in 1995, there was only one bank that had a Web site capable of processing financial transactions, and by 2000, this figure had skyrocketed to 1,850 financial institutions. Not surprising — when Forrester Research predicts that by 2004, online commerce will reach $6.8 trillion. In essence, the wide open nature of the Internet and its explosive growth in commerce has made it very easy for identity thieves to apply for credit and make purchases by using any well-sourced personally identifiable dataset from almost any location.
With the biggest threat to companies and individuals being the illicit capturing of information, there are two elements to consider in protecting online financial activity: fraud detection (stopping theft in its tracks) and security (keeping out those who do not belong). To guard against fraud, software programs use encryption and detection strategies that are sophisticated enough to isolate most damaging crime schemes within a matter of seconds. The tougher goal to accomplish is the security of the overall system that processes online payments, because as protective software becomes more "intelligent," so do the cyber criminals who seek to manipulate them for evil. Therefore, security should be viewed as a process — it is not a problem solved with a single solution, but rather an ongoing situation that requires vigilant monitoring and software modification to address the specific needs of a business.
As an individual, there are several things you can do to protect your identity online:
- Turn off or delete cookies from your computer. Cookies are small text files placed on your computer by Web sites. Cookies basically create a profile of where you go on the Internet.
- Develop an alter ego. Many Internet Service Providers allow you to create more than one account. This allows you to have one account for personal email, and another for commercial purposes.
- Surf or buy anonymously. There are online privacy protection companies that will allow you to surf and shop on the Web anonymously, sometimes for a fee. One such example is Freedom.net — a Canadian company whose software allows you to protect your PC from being hacked; remove ads from your Web browser; manage your cookies so that you can delete them at will; send and receive untraceable, encrypted email (using your regular email account), and anonymously browse and chat.
- Buy a Mac and avoid using Microsoft Outlook for email. It's not that crackers (evil hackers) can't scam Mac users, but it's a game of numbers — and the simple fact is the larger number of PC users make them a more attractive target. The Mac is also a more secure platform, primarily because it doesn't have a command shell or allow remote logins.
The same is true of Outook — great program with great features — but almost every email worm, bug, and virus is designed to bring it down.
- Avoid storing important information on Internet accounts. This includes: any type of password, social security numbers, credit card numbers, bank/brokerage names and account numbers, and any other piece of personal information that you absolutely want to keep private.
- Replace Internet Explorer. IE is highly insecure, because it's the most widely hacked Internet browser on the market. Being the preferred browser on 97% of the world's computers implies that its security flaws once breached will affect the majority of the world's computers. Switching to Mozilla or another browser with few or no security holes could significantly improve your Internet security.
- Install an anti-virus program and firewall. The anti-virus program will keep unwanted spy programs out of your computer, while the firewall will protect your Internet connection. And speaking of connectivity, if you have broadband, cable, or DSL, do not leave your computer on for extended periods of time when you are not using it
- Pay attention. Don't enter credit card information online, unless you're sure it's a secure site. Be very skeptical of Web sites that request too much personal information as part of the registration process. Report to your Internet Service Provider any suspicious attempt to get you to reveal personal information. Keep up to date on online privacy and security — two great sites to bookmark: www.privacyfoundation.org and www.epic.org .
For companies, security means keeping dangerous hackers out of the company's backend databases. Success is the result of employees implementing the aforementioned practices, as well as the company establishing and adhering to a sound security policy. It is an essential — and should be flexible enough to allow employees some freedom to work creatively, but firm enough not to compromise the company's data. To do so:
- Know what's going on in your network. Use security tools to monitor activity and adjust to threats as they evolve. But don't play Big Brother — your staff will resent it.
- Be flexible. If employees complain that the security restraints are affecting their productivity, find a way to relax the constraints without compromising security.
- Remember, security is a process, not a product. Hire professionals to vet the network, and don't disregard their analysis. Update your software and your policy as necessary.
- Realize that some unapproved software can be good for your business. For example, instant messaging can be a productivity sapper and a security threat, but it can also save a lot of time. If your employees want it, then look for a secure messaging system designed for corporate environments.
As the Internet continues to mushroom in size, scope, and complexity, so too do the issues related to the access, usage, and protection of Internet-based information — both personal and corporate. Corporations can anticipate that, on average, 6% of their IT spending must go toward security. But ultimately, it is the choice and responsibility of the individuals and corporations to determine to what degree they wish to establish security. Common sense and the various issues covered here are enough to get you started. Just remember that Internet security is an ongoing process that requires a multitude of approaches that vary with the nature of the underlying threat — find a level of security that works for you, but do not ignore it or it will be costly.

- Excellent....FoodistDined on 9/28/2014Food and service were top-notch. This was our 2nd visit and we love it!Special Features:
- Disappointed.SR64Dined on 9/27/2014So disappointed in Story. Our waiter was pleasant but inattentive to our table of two. We were excited to try this restaurant due to the accolades of the chef. The entrees were cold, short ribs and the special Mahi Mahi. My Mahi Mahi was over cooked also.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/27/2014Story was recommended to us by a friend so we wanted to try it. We found the food and service to be excellent. However, I think it is fairly pricey and definately only a special occasion place.Special Features:
- Great for a special occasionCAtransplantVIPDined on 9/27/2014The food was very good and beautifully presented. I was particularly happy with the appetizers. They also have a great kids menu that offered a fun variety. My boys enjoyed the gnocchi, spaghetti and meatballs, french fries and green beans! I wish they had a place in the restroom (men's and women's) to change a diaper.Special Features:
- Didn't quite stack upOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/26/2014I'm no foodie, but I was super excited to check out Story given all the recent buzz. The restaurant was charming, and the service was great, but the food was a little lacking in my opinion. I had the fish special (mahi mahi) and it was a little blan. The bacon cream sauce that came with it spiced things up a bit but not enough to give me the full flavor experience I thought I would be getting with the delicious description of the dish. My boyfriend had the chicken breast, which was good, but still didn't quite stack up. For the price, not sure this is worth a return trip to see if different entrees are better. We did have the empanda appetizer and chocolate cake dessert and those were both greatSpecial Features:
- Anniversary DinnerluvbirdsDined on 9/26/2014This is a very nice restaurant that pays attention to details. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, even changing the reservation time at the last minute and we received congratulation's on our anniversary from everyone individually. The plates were larger sizes than we expected and we couldn't finish everything, however it was all delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not my #1PippaDined on 9/26/2014After reading that Story was voted #1 fine dining restaurant in KC by residents, I definitely wanted to take my foodie family member. We went on a Friday evening. We ordered cocktails that were quite tasy and then started with a pear salad and a crab salad. The presentation of the crab salad was very well done with a great symmetry of yellow watermelon, cherry tomatoes, and rounded balls of almost pure crab. It was delicious. Entrees were veal tenderloin and braised short ribs. Both were good but not great. Service was attentive but not intrusive. We did have to ask for the wine that was ordered to be presented with the meal. The noise level is pretty high so conversation was a little difficult. The decor is stark and uninvitingSpecial Features:
- jeneliseVIPDined on 9/19/2014AMAZING! Great cocktails, great wine selection, everything was above and beyond! Been a couple other times, $10 Sunday entree is a steal. This time we brought my husband's mother to celebrate his birthday on a Friday evening. The staff and service was some of the best in town, attentive, know a lot about the food, and have great suggestions. My husband's favorite is the short ribs, I had the pork belly which was crispy and meaty and the sauce and shrimp really complimented the pork. Definitely will be back, it's one of my top 3 places to eat in KC!Special Features:
- Absolutely fantastic!FoodloverDined on 9/14/2014I have been to Story twice since moving to KC. Once for brunch and once for Sunday dinner. I, and my table guests, have loved everything we have ordered, drinks and food. The green salad is one of the most amazing summer salads I have tried; such subtle and pleasing flavors. The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable, which just enhances the experience. I will keep coming back and recommending it to others. Absolutely fantastic! Thank you!Special Features:
- Italian Night DinnerKSdinerDined on 9/10/2014We participated in the 5 course Italian dinner (actually six) with wine pairing in Sept. The food was spectacular and the wines were exceptional. The presentation of the food and the variety really added to the overall dining experience.Special Features:
- anniversary brunchbrunchgemDined on 9/7/2014We have been for dinner multiple times. Brunch was perfect match of breakfast and lunch selections. Sautéed shrimp was amazing. Best fried chicken ever. Great selections for the pickiest children. Brunch at Story was not that busy and staff was very attentive and accommodating for our children.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It's a keeperHardtimesDined on 9/6/2014It doesn't get much better than this. Dinning at its best.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SuperbDiner580Dined on 8/31/2014The meal was delicious from start to finish! Crab salad was the best cold salad I've ever eaten.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food over saltedBksdSCDined on 8/30/2014We shared a few of the appetizers ( tuna and ceviche) for our dinner and while the presentation was beautiful, the ceviche was way too salty for our tastes . Also, the ravioli was not quite al dente but the flavor was good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DanimalDined on 8/24/2014Story was our favorite restaurant of the weekend. It was a little hard to find, but was well worth it. A definite repeat the next time we are in Kansas City.Special Features:
- Another flawless evening at StoryluveverythingFrenchDined on 8/24/2014We have been to Story numerous times & have never been disappointed in any aspect of the restaurant. We found it to be very refreshing to spend a hot summer evening in the delightful coolness of the restaurant. Our waiter had a good knowledge of the wines & was helpful in choosing a good pairing for our meal. The staff is extremely friendly & makes for a very enjoyable experience. The food is without comparison - superior to any other restaurant. The food presentation is impressively artful & constantly changing. If you want a memorable evening, spend it at Story.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Expensive and loudKCDinerDined on 8/22/2014The food was good, but the dishes were expensive (East Coast levels and above). We spent $100 pp with wine but no appetizers (2 courses plus 2 shared desserts for 4). The menu also is unique, so I found it challenging to choose an appetizing meal. This small restaurant was noisy - I had to strain my voice to be heard by my dinner companion right next to me. The tables are very close to each other. Service dropped off after entrees were served. It is conveniently located in a shopping center with plenty of parking, though.Special Features:
- Lovely EveningHawkeyeDined on 8/19/2014Wonderful food with a great ambiance. Always feels like special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food & serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 8/17/2014This restaurant is a real neighborhood gem!! I love this restaurantSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous food and friendly serviceperfect4conversationDined on 8/16/2014My husband and I read a rave review of this Kansas City restaurant in Food and Wine magazine. We were not disappointed! The food--from appetizers to dessert--was delicious and artfully presented. The Australian Shiraz was amazing! Our server was helpful but at the same time sensed our need for a leisurely evening with friends. I would recommend Story to anyone who is planning a special night out!Special Features:
- Finest restaurant in PVnycriteDined on 8/16/2014This is PV's best restaurant hands down. It is also one of KC's best. The menu has plenty of well-made dishes that aren't too weird or risqué. Don't get me wrong, there are some unique entrées and appetizers (sweetbreads), but there's something for everyone, adventurer and conservative alike. Execution is top notch as is presentation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- a favorite dining experiencepagetDined on 8/15/2014We always look forward to Story. Love the chef, the hostess (his wife often) and the welcoming atmosphere and most of all the food and the service.Special Features:
- bonnieapetitbonnieapetitVIPDined on 8/10/2014Very sophisticated environment. The interior would not be out of place in midtown Manhattan.Special Features:
- Another terrific evening at StoryluveverythingFrenchDined on 8/3/2014We enjoyed another wonderful evening here. The restaurant was delightfully cool on a hot summer evening and our server, Matt, is not only very competent and took great care of us, but his knowledge of the individual wines on the wine list has been helpful many times in choosing a wine to go with our meal. Unfortunately some inconsiderately loud patrons nearby interfered with our trying to have a quiet conversation at our table.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- New Menu ItemsBuzzVIPDined on 8/3/2014Chef Thorne-Thompson continues to add new, terrific items to his menu while leaving the "favorites" on as well.Special Features:
- Outstanding!OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/2/2014First time there and loved it. Everything was prepared very well and the flavor combinations were great. Of particular note was the ceviche appetizer, incredible!Special Features:
- Great--as alwaysOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/2/2014Everything was very, very good, as always. The standouts for us this time were the crab and tomato salad and the chocolate torte with the toasted meringue. The crab was delicious and generous and, of course, it's the time for tomatoes and these were perfect. The chocolate torte was amazingly silky and full of deep chocolate flavor. We'd not seen toasted meringue, but it's a great idea. Melts on contact in your mouth.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/1/2014we had great service and the food was delicious. We can't wait to go backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great first time experienceAllsmilesDined on 7/31/2014Wife and I sat outside on a great midweek evening. Service was impeccable being attentive, but not 'in your face'. Wine steward was knowledgable, and helpful in wine selection. The food though stole the show. We shared multiple appetizers from foie gros, sweetbreads, to steak tartar. Dessert of house-made mini doughnuts served with a sauterne was a great way to end a fabulous meal. Every course was excellently prepared, and served with thought in presentation. I'll be happy to return!Special Features:
- Friendly hauteGoodfoodhoundDined on 7/26/2014The food is the main draw, but the friendly service and cool modern design leave an impression. Try the ceviche, octopus, duck empanadas, and linguini. It's food that tastes as good as good as it looks.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Noisy OverpricedDisappointedDined on 7/26/2014Seats were too close and room was too noisy to talk to my date. Food was good but not that special. Service was a little slow but the server was very informative and did a.great.job! Portion size was small for dinner items and pricing seemed way too high for the menu selections especially here in KC. I was expecting more with elevated reviews.
- First visitpeterstorandtDined on 7/26/2014We were in town for the weekend and on the recommendation of friends who have been to Story dozens of times, we were eager to enjoy dinner there. Nothing disappointed, and some selections were outstanding. Jamie, our server, couldn't have been more helpful and attentive. The main room was full, so a little louder than we like, but not to the point of annoyance. It seemed that most portions were on the small side, but you can still enjoy all the flavors and textures to their fullest. I doubt that anyone has ever taken any of their meal home.Special Features:
- Fantastic Food…msharmonVIPDined on 7/25/2014Food and service was great! Hard to have a conversation with our table mates. Room was very loud.Special Features:
- Met expectationsMartinepadDined on 7/25/2014Our group of 5 had all been referred to Story. Half of us had the braised ribs, other half, the Halibut. We all agree the food was amazing! For me, the Halibut was the best I have ever had. The empanadas appetizer was awesome too. We all will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding food and wine!RonBDined on 7/25/2014A must visit restuarants every time we visit KC! We have tried over half the dishes on the menu and each is excellent. The bread served with the salad is some of the best bread I have ever tasted.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 50th Anniversary Dinner SuccessHighStandardsDined on 7/24/2014We picked Story to celebrate 3 big events: our 50th wedding anniversary, our friends' 25th wedding anniversary, and our daughter starting a new job. Story did an outstanding job serving the 6 of us in a perfect manner. Story continues to impress us by maintaining a CONSISTENT and HIGH level of food quality, food creativity, service and ambience. We have recently returned from eating in some of the better restaurants in Paris, and Story competes very favorably with those. Carl and Susan Thompsen have created a world class gem in the center of the US.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- very goodOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/18/2014very enjoyable meal, all 4 meals were very good. would go backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful Repeat VisitKCHOOSIERVIPDined on 7/13/2014This was our second time dining at Story, the first being about a year ago. We went to celebrate someone's birthday and just lightly referenced her birthday when deciding at the hostess table whether to sit outdoors or inside. We sat outside, had a wonderful dinner with a fantastic server. The pork tenderloin was the most tender piece of pork I have ever enjoyed! We ordered the german chocolate cake for dessert and they brought it with Happy Birthday written on the plate with chocolate syrup & a candle. It was a welcome surprise and the cake is the most amazing german chocolate cake you'll ever encounter. My only "gripe" is that they charged $1.00 for blue cheese stuffed olives in my martini…really?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Short RibCorkitDined on 7/13/2014I love braised short rib and this was one of the best ever. Beet appetizer was also outstanding. Carrot cake dessert was very disappointing, lacking in flavor and very overpriced for what was received. Wine list also seemed a little overpriced but likely priced for the neighborhood. Service was very good but just a tad overwhelmed at times. Overall a very good meal and glad to go. Given the price point, I'm not sure I would return knowing what else is out there at that price.Special Features:
- Love the QuicheNicolaDined on 7/13/2014My second time here, second brunch, second quiche. The texture is beautiful. However, though I complained about my first salty quiche, it's still too salty. My companion, who order same, concurred. I intend to go a third time, order the quiche and endure the salt if I must. But it would be lovely with just a bit less salt. Lovely Bellinis and excellent service, but for me, the ambience keeps me coming back. It's a lovely room.Special Features:

Operation Thankful: Good Doctors
I am thankful (and lucky) that during my pregnancy I had good, knowledgeable, and caring doctors. With my first son, Noah, I had a very complicated pregnancy, health wise. I ended up in the high risk unit of the hospital on bed rest for almost five weeks until he was born, six weeks early, with lots complications. Because of all the complications with my pregnancy with Noah, I was automatically considered "high risk" with Charlie's pregnancy and any subsequent pregnancies. Adding to the dilemma of my pregnancy with Charlie, I did not find out I was pregnant or begin to receive any prenatal care (since I didn't know I was pregnant due to a failed birth control shot) until about twenty two-ish weeks… [more]
Operation Thankful: Charlie's Lifebook
I am thankful that I made Charlie a Life book. I have written about his life book before and am really glad that I made it for him. If you are wondering what a life book is, it's a scrapbook really, that tells your role in your child's life and provides him or her with a direct connection to his or her biological history. Charlie's life book contains information about myself (full name, birth date, favorite color, where I grew up, etc) along with pictures of me as a child to present day, pictures and information on my parents, grandparents, and brother, information and pictures of Noah, a biological family tree, sonogram pictures, adoption poems important to me, and more. I created… [more]
Operation Thankful: A Pretty Normal and Uneventful Hospital Experience
One of the things I am thankful for is having a pretty normal and uneventful hospital experience compared to others. I have heard many horrid accounts of hospital experiences of other birthmothers who have been verbally abused by members of the hospital staff, denied pain medication, ridiculed, denied contact with their babies, disrespected, and so on. I have heard the stories of other mothers who dealt with excruciating labor that seems to go on for hours and hours with no end seemingly in sight. I was induced so I didn't have to deal with the hours and hours of labor, pushing, and pain. It probably sounds a little odd, but in hindsight, I am even thankful that I had a c-section. Although, I… [more]
Why I Chose an Adoptive Family that Already had a Child
We've talked about the options in choosing an adoptive family for your child when making an adoption plan. One of the big choices you can make is to choose a family that has children or to choose a family that has no children. It may be your desire to choose a family where your child would be the only or the first. Or it may be your desire that your child have a sibling, so you may look at families that already have a child. For me personally, I wanted an adoptive family that already had children. It was important to me that they already have a child. Why you ask? Because I wanted my baby to… [more]

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WTAQ) - Much of the northern half of Wisconsin remains under a wind advisory until mid-afternoon.
The National Weather Service said the winds picked up again Wednesday morning for the second day in a row. Medford had the biggest late morning gusts at 39 miles an hour.
Meanwhile, the winds continue to cause problems for electric service in the north.
Just over 9,700 electric customers in the Northwoods were still without power late Wednesday morning.
The Wisconsin Public Service utility has had the most success restoring customers in the Minocqua tourist area Wednesday morning. The number of customers without power at Minocqua was reduced from 8,500 to just over 5,000 as of late in the morning.
But other areas reported larger outages in the past few hours. Eagle River had almost 2,400 customers out at last word, and Rhinelander had around 1,500 still in the dark.

Brilliant value! The CAA55SI looks good in silver and holds 234 litres of space. That's 150 litres in the fridge and 84 in the freezer, so it's a good size for a smaller household. It isn't all singing, all dancing, but it does come with an A+ rating for energy efficiency. This means that it'll only cost you about £32.16 a year to run. You get a super freeze setting too, which will rapidly reduce the temperature in the freezer. This is great after the weekly shop when your food's got a bit warm on the drive home.

"I'm really pleased with this fridge freezer. We bought it for our new house where we only had a maximum gap of 55cm so this really limited our options. We went for this as it was one of the tallest, biggest capacity fridge freezers in that width and we are not disappointed. It looks great and has loads of space. There are only two of us but even when we had two extra people staying for a few days there was plenty of room."

If you're after a simple fridge freezer that gets the job done without loads of extra features, the CAA55SI is ideal. It looks good in silver, which makes a nice change to the usual white, and has integrated handles to create a sleek look. It's not the biggest out there, but if there are just a couple of you in the house, it'll hold your weekly shop with ease.
There's 150 litres of space in the fridge, which comes with 2 shelves. These are made of safety glass, so are really strong. There are 2 half width salad bins for your fruit and vegetables too. You also get 3 shelves in the door, which are great for bottles of milk and jars of jam. Down in the freezer there are 4 compartments. It'll hold 84 litres in total, so there will be plenty of room for your frozen essentials.
The freezer also comes equipped with a fast freeze setting. After your weekly shop, your frozen goodies may get a bit warm on the drive home. Hit the fast freeze when you get home and it'll rapidly reduce the temperature to cool your food down again in no time.
The CAA55SI comes with an A+ rating for energy efficiency, which means that it'll cost you less than £33 a year to run. That's nothing when you consider it'll be switched on 24/7.

Each sends out all sorts of information that the person may not have intended.

This was just posted by Public Policy Polling, a North Carolina survey firm with a decent record:
Overall 32% of voters we polled on our last national survey said they'd be rooting for the New Orleans Saints this Sunday, with 22% going for the Indianapolis Colts and 46% expressing no preference.
There's a significant partisan divide within those numbers, as Democrats prefer the Saints by a 36-21 margin while Republicans say they want the Colts to be victorious by a closer 26-25 spread. Independents lean toward the Saints as well, 33-20.
Beyond the partisan divide it's also interesting to note that a plurality of voters don't care about who wins the game. It will still pile up huge ratings Sunday night but that finding just quantifies the fact that for many, watching the Super Bowl is more about the spectacle than what happens on the field.
The PPP site offers a few crosstabs as well.

The sport of football is making a mockery of Christianity. Boycott football until they clean up their act.
Please join us Christians. How about a poll that says 94.66% of this God Fearing nation think football uniforms should be considered obscene. Jesus would not want our real men dressing up as male ballerina's tackling each other on the gridiron. Especially now that we have HiDef.
The Georgia Republican Senate and House both have Bills that are expected to pass covering up this mess. A law that would force all football players to wear a small velcro attached skirt to cover themselves up. How embarrassing. Gays can see you Tom Brady! Ever think of that?
Half-time obscenity? LMAO!!! How about the first and second half's?

I'd love to see how YOU PEOPLE would bounce back if 80% of your city, not just your home, was destroyed… I work in the insurance industry and let me tell you that the little bit of water YOU PEOPLE got in Austell during your so-called flood was NOTHING compared to what the people of New Orleans sufferred..but trust me when I say that YOU PEOPLE sure did call up insurance agencies and FEMA looking for their share of help, assistance, hand-outs and whatever else they could get their hands on. Folks still live in mud-slide and earthquake areas in Cali and hurricane areas in Florida and tornado areas in the mid-west, so please spare me your crap…FEMA hepls all of those repeat victims, too…I'd LOVE to sit back and watch to see how YOU PEOPLE would survive a Katrina.

I suppose the Haitians are just acting like a bunch of drama queen victims looking for a free handout as well huh? Maybe you should go through the experience of losing your home and your loved ones and then find out how little our government actually gives a damn about you.

So, let me see if I've got this right. Anything bad that happens to anybody, they should just sit around and whine about it for the rest of their lives, and wait for "the government" to provide every meal, every stitch of clothing, every board and nail that they will ever need to replace what they lost in Katrina for the rest of their lives. Because God forbid they pull themselves up by their boot straps and be responsible for themselves. It is, after all, the governments fault that a natural disaster targeted a city built at below sea level. Never mind that the residents had days advance warning and every opportunity to prepare and evacuate. But because the government didn't beg, plead, and mollycoddle every single resident on an individual basis, taking them buy the hand and leading them out the entire way as one would a small child or mentally handicapped person………then it's all the governments fault and the governments responsibility to caretake for the next 60 years. Get a grip! Bad things happen every day – what a pathetic lot all of civilation would be if they had the entitlement mentality you whiners – yes, I said WHINERS – do!

Republicans for :
Geaux Saints &Danny X, I believe that the Bush that Baseball is 2 weeks away refers to in saving NO is GWB "The Former President" genius, not Reggie Bush and fumbling a punt.
Seems like you switched gears from Morality & Chritianity to football prognosticating pretty quickly (you judgmental SOB).
Please believe me when I speak for Nawlins people & culture that we don't want your type of Chritianity, Our Roman Catholic belief system let's us know our God is NOT SHORT OF CASH!
Talented 10th, I understand your frustration at the previous ignorant comments of in-bred Larry, Danny X for example but for you to lump everyone in the category of YOU PEOPLE simply makes you seem uneducated & sounds like you are still looking for reperations.
I am from Mobile, AL & have family that live in Diamondhead/Biloxi, MS./ & play football for St. Stanislaus in Pass Christian, MS. (State 4A Champions) thanks to Dylan Favre (Bret's nephew & Zander Romano, my nephew). The purpose for the rant is that the St. Stanislaus Rockashaws just dedicated their Post-Katrina fieldhouse Thanksgiving W/End this past yr. It takes time to reconstruct that large of area of destruction.
I was down there 2 days after Katrina with a 6500 Watt generator and chainsaw cleaning up the debris & then moved on to Diamondhead, MS. & Nawlins to help with my brother's family as he was stuck in the city as GM of Hilton Homewood Suites putting up NOPD & Louisiana Troopers to stop the looting and the point is my family & friends have asked the GOVT/Local & National for NOTHING. Please think of the sum of the people as a whole not just the sum of the few that took the charity & some that abused it. Let's face it the Government did not handle Katrina well & were not prepared to handle this 100 yr. hurricane. It's a God thing.
Back to the post, Republicans for the WHO DAT nation, I was lucky enough to be in the Superdome for the Nov, 2nd Monday night game with the Falcons, Geaux SAINTS, it is great for the city, tourism & pride that goes with it!!!
Geaux SAINTS in Miami, hopefully the aints will be more foucssed than when the Falcons' Eugene Robinson in 98 trying to get a nobber from the undercover vice agent & distracting the team's focus…Geaux Saints…

How about tea partiers? Geaux SAINTS. Proud to be part of the Who Dat Nation. I remember going to Saints games growing up and fans had paper bags over their heads…Was always said the Saints would play in the Super Bowl when pigs fly and hell froze over. Well pigs have flown and hell has frozen over…Loved it when the sportscaster from WWL made that statement.
