Officials Point Fingers as Lake Ontario Spills Into Neighborhoods
While there’s debate over whether a new plan to regulate flow from the lake is to blame for recurring floods, one thing is certain: The water levels are getting higher.The plan is functioning as intended.
The threatened houses were built where they should not have been built.
Remove them.
The property owners were greedy and are suffering.
It is sad but predictable.
The developers have sent their companies through bankruptcy.
There are no resources to make the owners whole.
If they do not have flood insurance they must bear the loss.

Content providers
Chinese-language infotainment web portals such as Tencent, Sina.com, Sohu, and 163.com are popular. For example, Sina claims it has about 94.8 million registered users and more than 10 million active ones engaged in their fee-based services. Other Internet service providers such as the human resource service provider 51job and the electronic commerce web sites such as Alibaba.com are less popular but more successful on their specialty. Their success led some of them to the make IPOs.All websites that operate in China with their own domain name must have an ICP license from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Because the PRC government blocks many foreign websites, many homegrown copycats of foreign websites have appeared.[18]

Online communities
Although the Chinese write fewer emails, they enjoy other online communication tools. Users form their communities based on different interests. Bulletin boards on portals or elsewhere, chat rooms, instant messaging groups, blogs and microblogs are very active, while photo-sharing and social networking sites are growing rapidly. Some Wikis such as the Soso Baike and Baidu Baike are "flourishing". Until 2008 the Chinese Wikipedia could not be accessed from mainland China. Since 2008, the government only blocks certain pages on Wikipedia which they deem to contain controversial content.Baidu knows.
