When a post is first created, it says "viewed 1 times" in the sidebar. This should say "viewed 1 time".
You're in luck, as Jeff Atwood has so eloquently put this: | ||||
Jeff should rewrite Stack Overflow in Ruby on Rails. It has a .pluralize method that can handle this kind of problem. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Well ... I was busy refactoring the tag wiki page and decided to fix this bug. For the record:

In that case, perhaps it should be:
You could probably write a greasemonkey script to implement it. | |||||||||||||||||
Well, between then and now, somebody "fixed" this. Although a bit of history is lost because of this, it's actually correct, because in the song "Killing me softly" by The Fugees, Wyclef Jean says "One time, two times" in the chorus. So, we know it is correct. | |||||||||||||

Hi here ! Very nice Addon been using it for a year I think !!!
Many crashes happens this patch IDK if it's linked to you, but I've manage to find that Geo crashes when I use my ult. I was wondering if it could be your AOE RI ?
Thanks a lot !
Moraxus guide ( In game, soon to be a forum post )
Yep, He, when i try to apply it with xUI, it fails (with other mods too) but when i dont use xUI it works fine
Well, something is wrong on your side. I can apply everything using both managers. (except InstaPick)
Can't say much about geomancer ultimate but the "unread bits" errors stopped after I upgraded to 8GB RAM.
From my experience it's either this mod or S2s fault.
You should check the bug reports from time to time.

I can confirm about crashing with "unread bits" error when seeing geomancer's ulti.
Geo ulti makes errors "unread bits" after the patch... Please fix
Confirmed, just crashed 3 times with this. AoE indicator does it.
Disabled the previous update for Geomancer's Crystal Field until further notice. Apologies for the crashes~

In the wake of the credit crunch, structured finance is linked to bailed-out investment banks and overpaid executives rather than the innovative financial solutions it continues to provide. The initial response from the financial markets was a move back to basics, to plain vanilla transactions.
Furthermore, many structured finance instruments, such as securitization, derivatives and other structured products, are facing intense regulatory and political scrutiny. These pressures notwithstanding, the potential of structured finance will play an important part in facilitating the road to recovery. This book explains why.
This book serves three purposes.
First it continues the analysis of structured finance, and in this sense complements and updates the popular and highly acclaimed first edition of this series ( Securitization Law and Practice in the Face of the Credit Crunch), with plenty of focus on derivatives.
Second, the key milestones of the credit crunch are discussed with a focus on their potential impact for the expected flow of litigation by aggrieved investors against the perceived deep pockets of arrangers and rating agencies around the world.
The third purpose is to illustrate ways in which the untapped potential of structured finance may well facilitate the road to recovery.

Intel co-founder Gordon Moore is a visionary.
His bold prediction, popularly known as Moore's Law, states that the number of transistors on a chip will double approximately every two years.
Intel, which has maintained this pace for decades, uses this golden rule as both a guiding principle and a springboard for technological advancement.
Intel leads the semiconductor industry by delivering:
· The world's first 3-D Tri-Gate transistor, set for mass production in 2011, offers faster, more power-efficient processors.
· A new processor generation every two years, including the 32nm process in 2009—now in high-volume production—and the 22nm process, on track for production later in 2011.
· A worldwide silicon fab network, with five fabs slated for 22nm production by the end of 2012.
· Revolutionary technologies on a chip, such as strained silicon and hafnium-based gate-last high-k metal gate (HKMG), deliver improved performance and energy efficiency in a cost-effective way.
A highly coordinated internal R&D manufacturing pipeline for introduction of new technologies.
Moore's Law: What it means to you
Moore's Law is the foundation for exciting new technological capabilities and improved energy efficiency.
Advances in process technology and subsequent reductions in cost make computing devices accessible to an ever-increasing number of people worldwide, empowering innovations across the computing continuum—from the smallest handheld devices to the most powerful cloud-based servers.
You can see the results of Moore's Law all around you, in devices millions of people use every day, including personal computers and laptops, mobile phones, and consumer electronics.
The tenets of Moore's Law enable improved functionality at an increasingly rapid pace in everything from common household appliances to important innovations in automobiles, life-saving medical devices, and even spacecrafts.
Moore's Law also inspires energy efficiency and green manufacturing. As the number of transistors placed on chips continues to increase exponentially, fewer resources are used to produce each chip.

Only a few people attended the auction for the North Street building, including representatives from the bank holding the mortgage.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The former Ferrin Gallery on North Street sold for $160,000 at auction on Tuesday.
The Main Street business in now under new management.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Wireless Zone, an authorized Verizon Wireless store on Main Stree,t has new owners, who are looking to expand inventory and remodel the showroom. On Friday, owners Nate Bastarache and Keith Parzych moved into their new store after buying the business. The North Adams location is the fifth Bastarache will own and second in the Berkshires. Over the next two weeks, the store will still be open but the owners will be completely overhauling the interior. The store will be a fully staffed, with five to six employees, open seven days a week and carry all Verizon products, including Apple products. "We are remodeling with all brand-new fixtures and equipment. We're going to stock everything Verizon has to offer," Bastarache said. They were even open Friday despite their inventory arriving late in the afternoon. The store may install a new exterior sign after receiving approval from the city. Bastarache also opened the Verizon Wireless store in Great Barrington and when the opportunity to buy the North Adams store presented itself four months ago, he jumped on it. "I love it [in the Berkshires]. I wanted a store on the other side of the county," he said. "There was the need and opportunity in North Adams." Bastarache worked with Parzych for 12 years in the auto industry. After being frustrated with the customer service, he was receiving with wireless stores, he opened his first Verizon Wireless store in Easthampton. Shortly after, he opened another store in Northampton, followed by Chicopee and last year in Great Barrington. He reunited with Parzych to partner in purchasing the North Adams location. He said the key to making the business thrive is good customer service and having the items in stock. All of the showroom products will be "live" for customers to "basically test drive the device" and at least two staffers will be on at all times, he said, including either himself of Parzych.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Berkshire Chamber of Commerce will present the 2013 Berkshire Home Expo on the weekend of March 8-10 at the Berkshire Mall in Lanesborough.

Sorry Max, as I do enjoy going back and forth with you on Tursday's, being all secretive and all. I have decided to make a thread for us all to indulge with each other.
This season I think is probably one of the best ever. The teams are a bit unfiar but atleast we got the merge kind of quick. I was sad to see Russell leave early, but the show is still pretty entertaining with "The Puppett Master", the other Russell.
So does anoyone watch it, what do you think of this season?

The location was fantastic, staff were VERY helpful, and the old-school elevator was the greatest thing ever. There were NO bedbugs like some others have claimed, the room was clean with a personal bathroom, fridge, WI-FI and microwave. Overall a great stay, especially if you are travelling on business or alone.

Because of its proximity to San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose, San Ramon is suburban in feel. But this small city attracts legions of Bay Area workers thanks to Chevron's global headquarters and Bishop Ranch, an office park home to more than 300 companies. The mega-rich and a few celebrities live east in nearby Blackhawk. A country club in Blackhawk hosts professional golf tournaments.
サン ラモン のホテルをすべて見る"A Disappointment"
We would not recommend this hotel at all. The person who handled the check-in was totally incompetent and slow. The room we were assigned had a loud machinery noise coming from the bathroom, so we wanted to change rooms. It took over an hour before our request was granted. The so called "lobby" was a small room with a counter. The included "buffet breakfast" […] was no more than a breakfast type of candy bar and a couple of pieces of fruit.

"Great Location, Average Otherwise"
For a business trip alone, the room was adequate. I'm not too picky. The staff was friendly but 0 out of 3 I spoke with knew anything about the advertised discount at a local health club. The room had no cups when I arrived. The room smelled like smoke and had a match and shards of tobacco in a couple of dresser drawers. The shower wasn't very clean. […] Other than that, I slept ok on the bed, the grab-and-go instant oatmeal and coffee were convenient, the location was excellent for my business activities, the neighborhood was really nice, and there were some superb restaurants nearby. I never like to leave a negative review but the net impression of my stay was - not impressed. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ

Pros: Have reliable, free internet service. Nice to have kitchenette, cooktop, full-size refrigerator. Room 4 Improvement: SLOW internet -- there was no option to pay for faster internet.

The overall stay was fine, but I was not happy with the room service.

"Didn't fit the bill"
I was disappointed that my request for a non-smoking room may have been met witha non-smoking room (although there were no signs to indicate that it was) however there was an odor of cigarette smoke. To add to the disappointment, the mattress was creaky and uncomfortable not offerring any kind of support and the bed sheets has spots of mold all over […] them. I would have mentioned this to the staff upon check out but no questions about my stay were offered. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Unprofessional and Unapologetic"
I spent 40 minutes trying to check in because they messed up my reservation. The staff talked about me in front of me instead of working with me to resolve the problem. The person they also tried to check in during these 40 minutes had a reservation on their phone, but it wasn't in their system. No apologies, no attempt to make it right, just "we don't […] have a room for you". Room was tiny, curtain held up my push pins was sketchy, nothing stored in the kitchen to make it useful.

"Inexpensive, convenient, but uncomfortably"
Room was right off the highway and fairly low priced. The front desk was pleasant and helpful, but didn't have sheets and cover ready for pullout for pullout bed. The front desk provided bedding for pullout, but we the found the coffee pot wasn't emptied and washed. We also had to request a shower curtain which room service forgot to replace.

"Easy access from the freeway"
Arrived for weekend soccer tournament, staying at the hotel for 2 nights. First night was fine though the beds were hard. The next morning about 10am we heard a very loud vibration coming from the walls (bathroom?). We called the front desk and they said they'd take care of it. When we returned to the room about 7pm that evening, it was quiet so we […] assumed all was taken care of. A few minutes later the front desk called and asked if we wanted to remain in that room or if we wanted to move to another room we would have to make that decision immediately since every room in the hotel was full! We decided to move to a different room since he didn't sound confident that the problem would remain resolved! So, we moved across a hall and down two rooms. The air conditioner in that room didn't work well - we had to put it down to 60 (the lowest it would go) to be cool enough. About 6am the following morning that same noise, though not as loud, was heard. We concluded that the hotel has a severe plumbing problem and would not stay there again. もっと読むExpedia ゲストの適正な口コミ

The pros for our stay: 1. Appropriate rate for room. 2. Clean and comfortable. 3. Good location to the soccer tournament we were attending. Cons for our stay: 1.

Room didn't have toiletries, nor […] was the sleeper prepared. I had to walk back to pick up those things. 3. Room AC/Heating unit wasn't working and there wasn't anyone on site to fix it.

I found the room to be crowded and the hide-a-bed couch was supposed to be able to fit 2 kids. It was very small and one child has to share our king size bed. .

"ok but lacking"
since i'd never stayed at an extended stay before, i guess i was under the impression it was like any other hotel with maid service and such...it was not...the bed was very uncomfortable and there was virtually no water pressure in the shower...when my son and daughter-in-law came in early and wanted to get their room for an extra nite they were told […] by the clerk that she didn't know how to do that and all she could do was fold laundry...very disappointing...they ended up sleeping on the floor of my room...i would pay the extra to stay in a better place もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
Not a positive experience. Check in was supposed to be at 3:00pm, couldn't get in until after 4pm. Then found the garbages hadn't been dumped and there were no wash cloths or hand towels. The response, "yeah, we're kinda backed up on cleaning." And to top it all off, could not lock the door from the outside! Had to pull up the door to get it to latch […] on the inside.

The curtain in the room didn't close all the way. They told me they will send someone to fix it, but they never did. The counter around the bathroom sink had soap marks left by the previous guest, so that tells me that they barely cleaned the room.

Slept well. Quiet. Within a short distance of where I needed to be. Kind of pricey for the area. Not sure what the mattress was made of, but it had a distinctive crunch with any movement.

The customer service is horrible. The manager was ridiculously rude. The guy that eventually helped us an hour and a half later charged my card three times, which was refunded 3 days later. The hotel is a good location and clean but beds are rock hard and rooms are cramped and tiny.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
It was traumatic. They assigned me a room which was already occupied by someone else. I checked in late. First the key didn't work. Then when it worked I walked in to this room with someone sleeping and they literally shouted at me to get out of the room. BAD SERVICE !Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Practical hotel"
I was disappointed that there was no glass nor cup in the kitchen or bathroom and no shampoo nor hand lotion, etc....very basic setup. Also, did not use the minimal continental breakfast since no juice available....breakfast included is misleading.Expedia ゲストの適正な口コミ
The only problem I had during my stay was with the climate control system. It was one of those systems I call "Bake-R-Freeze" climate control. A guest has only two choices, to bake or to freeze.Expedia ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Poor quality of room"
Not what I paid for! The first room had a toilet that was used by someone, but not flushed....reason there was no water. The second room that was allotted had no running water in the shower...forget hot or cold, there was no water. I just decided to skip shower and get out first thing in the morning and left at 6am the next day!Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Nice place to stay for the event!"
Only complaint was we had to ask the staff to replenish some items from the coffee bar, but the staff seemed friendly.Expedia ゲストの適正な口コミ
Devon, who was the clerk on duty at the front desk when I checked in, was so wonderful, welcoming, positive, cheerful...just great!!! She is a great role model for all of your hotels!!!Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
location too noisy (close to freeway); poorly equipped with towels, dish soap; trash on outside of building; slow service at front deskHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Less than you need"
This hotel is called a suite but it leaves you wishing you had stayed elsewhere. For the most part the room was clean. It had new flooring. The blood splatter on the wall in the bathroom was gross (not a lot, but enough). There was no ice machine. There were no plates but we had 2 forks, spoons, knives, 1 spatula, 1 slotted spoon, and 1 colander. We […] called the office and requested plates. Still haven't gotten them. The only trash can was found under the bathroom sink. There were no shampoo, conditioner, or lotion bottles in the room. Come to find out they only have shampoo, they will not bring it to your room, and don't always answer the office phone. Cheap: yes Worth it: not to me! もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Unreliable cleaning service"
The front desk service was good. However, due to no show of the cleaning clew, I almost didn't get my room even I have booked it and checked in 1.5 hour after the official check-in time.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ

"Room in a pinch"
This hotel was OK. It might be remodeled, but looks like from the 50's to the 80's. I had asked for a non-smoking room, yet Hotels.com booked me a smoking room. Not cool. At ESA, the first room they tried had no microwave and the stove was all torn apart. The next room they had to scavenge a stove element so I could cook. Totally not impressed.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Not a great hotel"
Could not get a receipt because it was booked they Expedia. Absurd. Breakfast was vending machine quality. Toeletries located at front desk. Absurd. Would not stay there again.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Hard beds, no shampoo."
Bed was hard, not very comfortable. No shampoo in the bathroom. It was clean and the staff was friendly and polite. If you don't mind sleeping on a hard bed then it's ok but be sure to bring your own shampoo. This was the first hotel I have ever stayed at in which shampoo wasn't provided.Expedia ゲストの適正な口コミ

"Great place to stay with a great staff."
The staff was great. Especially Devon the desk clerk and Brett in maint. We had some minor issues and these two were great. Staff is more important than the physical plant. As long as it is clean and smell good my focus is always more on how I am treated by the staff. These two could work for me anytime.Expedia ゲストの適正な口コミ

"Too smokey!"
Room was ok. 1st room was to have been non smoking but could cut smoke smell with a knife ( desk said it was non smoking but last guest had done it. Must have smoked non stop).

First, I'm a little disappointed that Mathematica balks at:
Mean[TruncatedDistribution[{{0, Infinity}},MultinormalDistribution[{0}, {{1}}]]]
Second, is the numerical computation of means from truncated multinormal distributions so hard? Is anyone aware of a package that implements the algorithm of Leppard and Tallis (1989) (see here for FORTRAN code) or anything like it?
Edit: R.M wants an example that fails to compute:
Mean[TruncatedDistribution[{{0, Infinity}, {0, Infinity}},
MultinormalDistribution[{0.5, 1.5}, {{1., 0.3}, {0.3, 1.}}]]]
Edit: R.M provides great information below. I'm not accepting the answer as a solution because I asked about the multivariate normal case in particular. Is there a package/code that takes advantage of its nicer properties to speed things up?

Marketing automation is of growing interest to APAC marketers, but what hurdles do they face and how can they overcome them?
A fifth (21%) of APAC-based marketers reported earlier this year that they planned to increase their investment in marketing automation technology over the next 12 months.
To address this growing area of focus for the region's marketers, Econsultancy teamed up with emarsys to produce the Marketing Automation in Asia Pacific Best Practice Guide.

We're in the midst of a great migration to portable devices and the opportunity for marketers is immense.
It will be much tougher to cultivate a relationship with users than it was on the web, but if handled properly we'll find the perfect balance between the ultimate user experience and advertisers' agenda.
One thing marketers can all agree on: advertising makes the digital world go 'round. What's less a settled matter is how, exactly.

The practise of blogger or influencer "engagement" is one of the most widely-used tactics in marketing these days, done by almost everyone, from PR agencies to SEOs, social marketers to spammers.
It's also one of the most commonly derided amongst the recipients and much-debated amongst bloggers and professionals - but rarely addressed by marketers themselves.
If you're doing it well, why share the secrets with your competitors? Sadly, a lot of marketers are doing it very badly indeed, and something needs to be done about it...

Lumped under the collective heading of 'mobile', a lot of marketers think that smartphones and tablets are the same thing when it comes to mobile marketing.
The truth is, people use tablets in a completely different way than they do their smartphones, and your marketing should reflect that.
Here are five reasons why tablets are different than smartphones, and why they should be treated as such by marketers.

I spoke at an event last week looking at the role of programmatic in VOD and its suitability for building brands in a digital environment.
There were a number of people speaking about creating more brand based measurement, data consolidation, using client site and CRM data and the rise of programmatic as a fundamental future facing model for all media buying.
While I agree that programmatic is best viewed as opportunity trading and currently somewhat disconnected from the planning and brand strategy teams, I was struck by the lack of discussion about the role of attribution technology in aligning the true value of programmatic media with an agreed end conversion point.

While practising for my driving test, my instructor was always spouting jewels of wisdom. He also smoked too much and once nearly drove us into a traffic light but I guess nobody's perfect.
Anyway, one of the themes that came up again and again was 'defensive driving', which Wikipedia helpfully defines as 'driving to save lives, time, and money, in spite of the conditions around you and the actions of others'.
As a PR, I've spent a little time over the years considering how I'd describe my recommended approach to SEO, and I think a similarly 'defensive' approach is what works best for me.

Flash sales, mystery boxes, group coupons, the thrill of buying at a moment's notice or getting unexpected delights by mail have all been in the marketing spotlight within the last year.
However, unless you take the time to carefully craft your flash sale campaign, it can go down like a lead balloon, leaving customers unimpressed and apathetic.
Here are a few examples of such sites, as well as an analysis of what they did right, and wrong. Study their successes, sidestep their mistakes, and learn from them to apply their lessons to your own campaigns.

Say the words 'site re-design' and if you listen really, really hard you can probably hear a collective shudder from IT and marketing teams around the world.
Anyone who has ever been involved in a site re-design will know it's a huge project and requires coordination of a number of parties involved.
With resources constantly under pressure, testing can often be forgotten. However, this can actually cause more problems in the long run!

ESPN's May says ASU made a 'big-time mistake' not hiring Kevin Sumlin
The embattled football coach, whose team had lost four straight Pac-12 games, was allowed to coach in the Las Vegas Bowl in late December, but the search for a replacement began a month prior.
That it didn't lead to then-Houston and current Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin was a very costly mistake, according to ESPN NCAA football analyst Mark May.
Sumlin has guided the Aggies to an 8-2 mark in his first year at the helm, a record that includes a win over No. 1 Alabama in Tuscaloosa. The team won just seven games all of last season.
"Arizona State made a big, big-time mistake by not hiring this guy," May told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Tuesday.
May pointed to the record of Sumlin's current team compared to that of his former squad, Houston, which won 13 games last season (12 under Sumlin) but is just 4-6 this year.
"Just by those numbers alone it tells you what type of coach this is," May said. "He can get the job done with your guys, he can get the job done with his guys, he can get the job done, period."
Sumlin was rumored to be interested in the Arizona State job last winter, but many feel he would not have come to Tempe after learning the A&M job was available.
Listen: Mark May, ESPN College Football Analyst Mark May joins the guys today to talk about all of the upsets in college football this weekend, starting with number one Alabama going down to Texas A & M. How special is Johnny Manziel? Did ASU make a mistake in not pursuing Kevin Sumlin? And, can Notre Dame beat USC?
"You've got to put your hat in the ring," May said. "If you don't put your hat in the ring and you don't do it early enough you don't know if you're going to get the guy or not."
May added it's possible Sumlin would have visited Tempe and been so impressed that he decided to take the job.
Instead, Sumlin accepted the Texas A&M job on December 10, while the Sun Devils landed Todd Graham four days later.

Provoke your palate with empanadas de camarão, pastry-encased shrimp, cream sauce, and spicy tomato dipping sauce ($9), or let fresh mussels swim to your belly from a wine-bathed marisco buzios plate ($9). Yemanja Brasil's menu of Brazilian dinner bitables organizes proteins by their proper names: de carno/porco (beef/pork), do mar (seafood), de frango (chicken), or vegetariano. Feijoada de Ogum ($17), Brazil's national dish, is a stew of black beans, dried beef, smoked sausage, and pork ribs with rice and collard greens. Or get mouth mitts on frango minas with shredded chicken in a four-cheese raisin-cream sauce ($16). Vegetarians delight in the curried seasonal vegetables of arroz feijao botafogo ($11), whereas strict dessertists feel wholly respected with decadent layers of paveé da nena (champagne cookies layered with chocolate, egg-custard cream, and flavored whipped cream topped with chocolate sauce, $6).
Inside Coco Louco Brasil's dining room, swirls of aromatic steam dance above platters of fresh seafood and meat skewered and grilled in the traditional Brazilian churrasco style. From behind the full bar, the restaurant's mixologist tops off glasses with cocktails, including the signature Brazilian drink known as the caipirinha. Most weekend nights, a host of live musicians entertain patrons with music ranging anywhere from traditional Brazilian samba to modern pop to playing the Canadian frog xylophone.
Servers bearing 3-foot skewers of slow-cooked meat circulate the dining room looking for green "go" cards. When diners flash them, they arrive at tables and carve slices of top sirloin, lamb, pork, and chicken—each smoked over mesquite wood—until they're told to stop. Although the restaurant undoubtedly caters to carnivores, guests who prefer veggies can munch on meatless feasts composed of 35 different items, including caramelized bananas, Brazilian mashed potatoes, and pasta.
At Bacana Brasil, diners pay a flat fee for unlimited grilled meats, salads, and side dishes. Grill chefs circulate around the rustic and elegant dining area, slicing meat onto plates until feasters can feast no longer, as indicated by a frowny-faced emoticon painted onto a plate using steak sauce. The focused menu features 13 grilled meats, including top sirloin, fillet, bacon-wrapped chicken, sausage, pork, lamb, shrimp, and brisket. On top of that, patrons can grab unlimited salads, hot side dishes, desserts, and roasted banana and pineapple from a buffet. All-you-can-eat dinners are $29.95 Monday through Thursday nights and $31.95 Friday through Sunday. To help a dry palate or dryer conversation, toss back a glass of Argentinean cabernet ($7), Australian shiraz ($10), or a Brazilian beer such as Xingu Black or Palma Louca ($4 each).

14th annual Dice and Ice Benefit draws a crowd for great cause
The average price of a home in Metro is expected to jump by $35,000 to $800,000 next year, according to a just-released RE/MAX forecast. For prospective buyers wanting to get into the market now before prices climb, here's a gallery of the least expensive detached homes in each of 10 Metro municipalities.
14th annual Dice and Ice Benefit draws a crowd for...
Residents of older neighbourhoods in cities across B.C. who receive mail to their front doors soon won't after a cost-cutting decision by Canada Post this week to axe its door-to-door mail service. That's nothing new to residents of most homes built after about 1985, when the national mail carrier countered rising costs due to rapid expansion of subdivisions with its so-called "Super" mailboxes — the group boxes now ubiquitous in suburbs across the province. But those still fetching their mail in slippers rather than by car will start venturing out as soon as next year with the Canada Post decision that many say will hit seniors hardest.
3 hours agoWhen he got the word on Tuesday night, Vision Vancouver Councillor Kerry Jang rushed down to the 400-block of Powell Street, stood out on the street in the freezing cold and surveyed the damage. The cops were there. The fire trucks were there. The Ming Sun building had flooded.

Beginning today, more than 300 volunteers will officially begin a home improvement project for a Tully family. Syracuse firefighters and other volunteers are helping retired Deputy Fire Chief Dave Johnson and his family get a home makeover. Our Brad Vivacqua reports.
ONONDAGA COUNTY, N.Y. -- Dave Johnson and his wife, Diana, have raised 29 children over the years in their Route 80 home. Three are their biological kids, 14 were adopted, and they've fostered 12. Dave Johnson, a former Syracuse firefighter, is dealing with his own health issues, so this is an opportunity for members of the Syracuse Fire Department, past and present, to give back.
The Johnson home is in need of extensive repairs and modifications to meet the medical and space needs of the family.
Donations, supplies, and labor are being provided by more than 150 businesses. Crews will work around the clock for three weeks beginning at 7 a.m. Monday to add a new foyer, electrical units, windows, and a roof.
Former firefighter Scott McClurg is leading his construction company to do a lot of the work.
"They've spent their time and money on their kids. They haven't spent their time and money on their house. And, what we want to do is, the money and time that they couldn't spend on the house, we're going to do for them. So, that they'll have a house that will be safe," said Scott McClurg, McClurg Construction President.
In total, about $200,000 of work will be put into this home makeover project. The Johnson family is staying at a temporary location and the goal is to allow them to move back in three weeks.
About 55 workers will begin work Monday morning, and McClurg said different shifts have been assigned for the next three weeks.
If you'd like to learn more about this project, or how you can donate, just visit www.johnsonfamilyhomeproject.com or www.facebook.com/JohnsonFamilyHomeProject.

7. Helper T cells go by various names, including T4 cells and CD4 cells, the latter term referring to the CD4 molecule that serves as the receptor site by which other entities bind to the cell. Colloquially, in discussions of AIDS, these cells are often simply called T cells, and I shall do the same except when it is important to distinguish the helper T cells from other varieties of T cells. Increasingly, however, laypeople who are "in the know" use the term "CD4" to demonstrate their linguistic competence. In the later chapters of the book, I adopt that term as well. [BACK]

Murray and Kenneth W. Payne, "Medical Policy without Scientific Evidence: The Promiscuity Paradigm and AIDS," California Sociologist 11 [winter-summer 1988]: 13-54, esp. 44, note 5).

29. In fact, most of these blanket characterizations of gay male sexuality were based on studies of patients at clinics for treatment of sexually transmitted diseases. One study did attempt to recruit a large sample of homosexual men from the "gay community" at large by distributing questionnaries in a gay magazine and through gay organizations (William Darrow et al., "The Gay Report on Sexually Transmitted Diseases," American Journal of Public Health 71 [September 1981]: 1004-1011); but it is doubtful that the 1.5 percent response rate generated a representative sample of readers of the magazine or members of the organizations, let alone members of "the gay community," whatever its supposed locus and boundaries.

-- -- more than a year President Obama has finally begun to release his regulatory agenda US law requires federal agencies to publicly report propose regulations.
They'll have a significant impact.
Directly to congress -- we now know from the government's web site.
From the Department of Labor -- just within the last four months more than 6000.
New propose regulations are pending.
Shannon Bream is investigating the onslaught of new regulations she spoke earlier with Brent Bozell the founder and president of the Media Research Center.
As as the media has really failed to keep the American public informed about this.
Nobody is reporting the truth about Obama care.
-- -- they humorist.
PJ O'Rourke made a great observation twenty years ago when he said if you think health care isn't -- is expensive now wait till it's free.
And what we're saying is they indeed free health care that was promised and it's anything but free.
Well and of course there are going to be volumes and volumes of regulations coming from the health care law were already starting to see some of those.
And and a lot of red flags for people mean when HHS regulation came out on the issue contraception.
That has sparks dozens of legal battles all across the country.
There's another regulation that recently has been rolled up -- raising a lot of eyebrows as well the 63 dollar -- -- charged.
And meant to cover preexisting.
Condition it costs.
But that the 63 dollars ahead as I understand it is going to be levied on everyone healthy well or with a preexisting conditions.
Sure I mean this is this is a natural.
Reaction to things like just.
Passing a magic wand and saying that pre existing cloud conditions are going to be -- I know somebody's got to pay for -- six.
Well now we're learning everyone's paying for these things this free health -- was never free it's expensive and has had already everything that logic told us was going to happen is happening it's already more expensive than they promised it's already gonna lose money on and on and on and we -- -- the beginning of it.
How closely do you think people should be tracking these regulation.
Well I think first and foremost with all due respect just the past that has to be tracking this depressed.
I was supposedly reports on this stuff and not reporting these these things secondly I think the public and with all due respect to the public.
The public needs to be a little bit sharper about this just think these things through when you are offered free healthcare.
It ain't.
For me someone was -- import and guess what ladies and gentlemen.
It was you and me.
And coming that would help the press and the public alike to be able to track these regulations when they're coming out of the volume that they are these are proposed regulations they do go through -- vetting period.
But for folks to know more about it -- there is -- regulatory flexibility act which requires that the administration essentially every April and October.
Report proposed regulations that will have a significant economic impact.
A number of lawmakers on the hill -- have been.
Really you know vocal about complaining about the fact that they never got the report from the Obama administration in April or October and they point out it was an election here.
As -- -- understanding of the law is you know essentially the administration's broken the law by not making those reports -- -- You're you're -- time and again.
This administration is simply disregarding.
-- rule of law.
In one -- on one issue after another and and frankly they're not being held to account.
By the legislative body on this -- -- and when they need to say something to satisfy the critics -- just make it up.
For example.
Be -- the the religious freedom regulation and there they simply announce that there had been according to court reached at a compromise reached what do would never reached.
And they they simply moved on from there and they said it was all about contraception and and have a loss.
And so they beat the regulation against religious freedom continues.
-- is that we know you are watching -- regulations we are as well sir thanks for your time.

SYRACUSE -- An article on Forbes.com calls Syracuse's civic distinctions "embarrassing."
The author, Carl Schramm, is a Syracuse native and current Syracuse University professor.
Schramm argues that "Syracuse's decline is undeniable," but says the economy can be improved by investing locally.
He says Syracuse was one of the county's 50 biggest and wealthiest cities for more than 100 years, with "one of the best-educated and healthiest populations." Now, Schramm says, "Syracuse's civic distinctions are embarrassing" and the "city's economy no longer works."
Syracuse is the nation's 170th largest city and one of the fastest shrinking cities, according to Schramm. He points calls "poverty" the "city's overwhelming social characteristic."
Schramm argues that "no one seems to remember when Syracuse's people, their innovations and their creative entrepreneurial skills, made it one of the most successful cities in the nation."
Schramm says Syracuse's contributions to "American life during the period of industrialization" were plentiful. He points to Lyman C. Smith who helped bring the typewriter to the forefront and whose namesake is attached to the Lyman C. Smith College of Applied Science at Syracuse University.
Syracuse has been known as the "Typewriter city," "Candle city," "Crafts city," "China city," "Gear city," and the "Radar city" for its many inventions and manufacturing accomplishments over the years. All that is left to remind us of these successes, Schramm says, is the Carrier Dome.
"A careful study of urban economics suggests that a city that forgets its innovative history risks providing no role models for subsequent generations," writes Schramm.
He says the challenge in reshaping Syracuse's economic culture is encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship from the people who live locally instead of relying on government funds to spark economic growth.

In recent weeks, officials have made a few announcements about plans to help the local economy and there may be hope for two longtime vacant downtown buildings.
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand announced legislation last week, called "Made in America Manufacturing Act," that seeks to breathe new life into the Central New York economy, specifically that of the Mohawk Valley, by bolstering high-tech manufacturing in the region.
Local economic development officials also announced the formation of an alliance this week that hopes to make Central New York a test site for the development of unmanned aircraft systems. The alliance says it anticipates that unmanned aircraft systems could grow into an $89 billion industry employing 23,000 people by 2025.
Additionally, the NYNEX building, across the street from City Hall, that has been vacant since 1995, is beginning to grab the attention of developers. The crumbling Mizpah Tower in Columbus Circle may also have a potential buyer.
