Microsoft Cognitive services Terms
This page does not apply to Microsoft Azure services. For Cognitive Services you are using as part of an Azure subscription, please refer to your Azure agreement which includes a Cognitive Services section in the Online Services Terms.
Last Updated: March 2017
Part A – Agreement
- This Microsoft Cognitive Services Terms ("Agreement"), also referred to as the Microsoft Cognitive Services Preview Terms, is a contract between you and the Microsoft company listed in part H ("Microsoft"). This Agreement applies to the Service Components (defined below).
- This Agreement limits our liability in part F. Please read it carefully.
Part B – Definitions and relationship to existing agreements
In this Agreement:
APIs means Service Components that include "API" in their names.
Application means your software, service, or website that adds primary and significant functionality to APIs and that is not primarily a substitute for one or more Service Components.
Data means all data, including all text, audio, images (including video), and software, that are provided to Microsoft by you or your Application (including on behalf of End Users), through the Service Components.
End User means you, any person you permit to access data hosted in the Service Components or otherwise use the Service Components, and any user of your Application.
Model Builders means Service Components that include "Model Builder" in their names.
Preview means preview, beta, or other pre-release features, services, software, or regions offered by Microsoft to obtain customer feedback.
Search APIs means Service Components that include "Search" in their names. The Search APIs are subject to important obligations in addition to those applicable to the other APIs. Those additional obligations are in part E. The free of charge tier of service is available under this Agreement.Service Components means the products and services described at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691350&clcid=0x409
Relationship to existing agreements. If you subscribe to the Service Components under an existing agreement ("Existing Agreement") that includes the Microsoft Online Services Terms ("OST") (for example, where you subscribe through volume licensing or the Microsoft Online Subscription Agreement), you acknowledge that any Service Components you subscribe to under an Existing Agreement are Previews that are made available to you on the condition that you agree to the use, privacy, data, security, and other terms in parts B, C, and D of this Agreement, which supplement your Existing Agreement. Previews are provided "as-is", "with all faults", "as available", and are excluded from service level agreements and limited warranties. Previews may not be covered by customer support. We may change or discontinue Previews at any time without notice. We also may choose not to release a Preview into "General Availability". The Privacy and Security Terms of the OST and the Data Retention section in the General Terms of the OST do not apply to the Service Components. Microsoft is not obliged to provide any means to access and extract Data from Service Components, and you acknowledge that the Service Components may not provide any means to access and extract Data. Microsoft has no obligation to delete Data. For the avoidance of doubt, in this section B.2 references to Data include Customer Data as that term is defined in the OST. We may update this Agreement in accordance with section G.1.
Part C – Use rights and restrictions
- Use rights. Your Application may, subject to the terms of this Agreement and subject to Microsoft granting you access to the applicable Service Components, interact with the APIs.
- During the term of your subscription and subject to your compliance with this Agreement (and only if Microsoft has granted you access to the applicable Service Component), Microsoft provides you a non-exclusive, nontransferable, non-sublicensable, worldwide license to:
- use Model Builders to build models to deploy as corresponding APIs;
- transmit data to, and receive results from, the APIs, limited solely to your own use within your Application;
- allow End Users to use features of your Application that use the APIs, if the Application is accompanied by an acknowledgment and privacy statement for End Users of the Application that complies with this Agreement; and
- use the other Service Components solely in support of you exercising your rights in this Agreement.
- Access credentials and keys. Microsoft will provide you with the means for obtaining unique access credentials to access: (a) the Model Builders and (b) the APIs, solely for the purposes stated in this Agreement. You are solely responsible for: (a) keeping your access credentials confidential; (b) any and all activities that occur under your access credentials; and (c) any and all use of the API keys Microsoft provides to you. You must promptly notify Microsoft of any unauthorized use of your access credentials, your API keys, or any other breach of security. Microsoft will not be liable for any loss that you incur if someone else uses your access credentials or API keys, either with or without your knowledge. However, you could be held liable for losses incurred by Microsoft or another party if someone else uses your access credentials or API keys.
- Use restrictions. When using the Service Components, you must comply with the terms of this Agreement, the terms for the applicable Marketplace Service and all applicable laws. You must also obey any policies, codes of conduct, and notices Microsoft provides. The Service Components may not be available in all countries. You, and any third party working on your behalf, may not:
- Distribute, sell, resell, loan, rent, lease, sublicense, redistribute, assign or otherwise share or dispose your access credentials or API keys, or any part thereof, to any third party including to any affiliate;
- Syndicate, distribute, publish, facilitate, enable, or allow access or linking to the APIs in any manner except directly to End Users through the Application;
- Modify, reverse engineer or otherwise alter the Service Components (except to the extent this is authorized by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation):
- Use, retain, store, cache, share, or distribute any data from the Service Components for the purpose of testing, developing, training, distributing or making available any non-Microsoft service or feature that is comparable to the Service Components;
- Use the Service Components in any way prohibited by law, regulation, governmental order or decree;
- Misrepresent your identity or interfere with any other party's use and enjoyment of the Service Components;
- Damage, disable, overburden, abuse, degrade, or impair the Service Components (or any network connected to the APIs);
- Use or attempt to use any unauthorized means to modify, reroute, or gain access to the Service Components;
- Use the Service Components to defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten, or otherwise violate the legal rights (such as rights of privacy and publicity) of others;
- Send advertising or spam (including unwanted or unsolicited bulk email, postings, contact requests, SMS (text messages), or instant messages);
- Use the Service Components in connection with any Application that is used by or targeted to children under the age of fourteen;
- Knowingly transmit any virus, worm, defect, or any other item intended to destroy, surreptitiously interfere with, expropriate, or exert unauthorized control over any system or data or to defraud any person;
- Use the Service Components in any Application or situation where failure of the Service Components could lead to the death or serious bodily injury of any person, or to severe physical or environmental damage; and
- Remove, modify, or tamper with any notice or link that is incorporated into the Service Components.
- Technical measures. If Microsoft believes that you are making unauthorized or improper use of any Service Components, or Microsoft deems it necessary to protect our customers, End Users, or to counteract a breach of this Agreement, Microsoft may take such action as it deems appropriate without notice to you. These actions may include, for example, investigating your use of the APIs, filtering to stop spam or increase security, and blocking and reducing access to the Service Components from a particular access credential, internet domain, or IP address or by any means, at Microsoft's discretion. These actions may hinder or prevent your use of the Service Components. You must not take steps to circumvent any technical measures Microsoft may put in place to enforce these actions. Microsoft also may, in its sole discretion, limit the: (a) rate at which the Service Components, or any subset of them, may be called or made available; and (b) the length of individual content segments that may be uploaded to, or served from, the Service Components (all of the foregoing being forms of "Throttling"). Microsoft may perform this Throttling globally across the Service Components, per End User, or on any other basis. You will not take steps to circumvent or disable any technical measures Microsoft may put in place to enforce Throttling. Microsoft may at all times: (a) disclose any information as Microsoft deems necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request; or (b) edit or remove any information or materials, in whole or in part.
- Required updates to Service Components. Microsoft may require you to obtain and use the most recent versions of Service Components. Modifications may affect your ability to use the Service Components and may require you to change (at your sole cost) the way you previously used them. If any modification is unacceptable to you, your only recourse is to cancel your subscription and stop using the Service Components. Your continued use of the Service Components following any posted update or change to the API will constitute your binding acceptance to the update or change. Microsoft will not be liable for any costs that you incur, or for lost profits or damages of any kind, related to any such modification.
Part D – Data and privacy
- End User consent. You will obtain consent from all End Users (and any person whose Data you transmit to the APIs) to your use of the Service Components and Microsoft's use of the Data in accordance with this Agreement. You will give End Users prominent notice of your privacy policy through your Application. Such privacy policy, at a minimum, must include a full, accurate, and clear disclosure regarding the collection and use of Data through your Application, including disclosure to End Users of any Service Components you are using, and disclosure that the Data will be sent to you and Microsoft nationally or in another country or region. An Application that processes images (including video) must include a prominent notice that the End User must obtain consent from any person whose image will be processed by your Application. An Application that processes audio must include a prominent notice that the End User must obtain consent from any person whose voice will be processed by your Application.
- Privacy-related laws. You will comply with all applicable legal requirements regarding privacy, the collection, use and transfer of biometric data, the use of data for discriminatory purposes, the collection of information from children, and laws regarding the collection of communications, including any applicable laws and regulations requiring consent for collection of voice input, likenesses, and biometric information. You control access by End Users, and you are responsible for their use of the Service Components in accordance with this Agreement.
- Service IDs. When End User Data is sent to Microsoft, Microsoft may receive unique IDs to distinguish requests and responses. These IDs do not provide any information that allows Microsoft to personally identify End Users.
- Microsoft use of Data. You are solely responsible for the content of the Data. You grant to Microsoft and will secure and maintain all rights in the Data necessary for us to: (i) operate in accordance with this Agreement; (ii) provide the Service Components; (iii) protect data subjects; and (iv) improve the Service Components and other Microsoft products and services, without violating the rights of any third party or otherwise obligating Microsoft to you or to any third party. Microsoft does not and will not assume any obligations with respect to the Data or to your use of the Service Components other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement or as required by applicable law. Microsoft does not control, verify, or endorse the Data.
- Attribution. When using the Service Components (other than Search APIs, for which attribution is described in section E.2), you will provide attribution that is reasonably prominent for End Users as follows:
Attribution to the Service Component(s) will be displayed on the splash screen at Application start-up on applications designed for screen sizes of smart phones and larger. For applications designed for smaller screens (e.g., watches) or no screens, you will display attribution on the about page of the Application. For web pages, you will display attribution in a reasonably accessible page footer or other similarly prominent location. For scenarios where an End User's first or primary interaction with your Application is through an interactive communications interface (such as a chat, messages, or a social media service), you will display attribution in the first communication you send. Attribution should read "powered by Microsoft Cognitive Services" and provide a hyperlink to the Microsoft Cognitive Services website at https://microsoft.com/cognitive-services/
- Microsoft Privacy Statement. You acknowledge and agree that the Microsoft Privacy Statement at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=521839&clcid=0x409 applies and governs over other privacy statements with respect to the Service Components. The Enterprise Products section of the Microsoft Privacy Statement does not apply to the Service Components. In the event of a conflict between the Microsoft Privacy Statement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Agreement will control.

- Attribution and branding. When trademark(s), logo(s) or other attribution or branding of Microsoft or third parties are included in Search Results, you will not remove, modify, or interfere with the display or viewing of those parts of the Search Results. Whether Microsoft attribution is included or not, you will attribute Microsoft as the source of the Search Results in the manner specified in applicable Service Component documentation and the product guidelines (as updated from time to time), currently found at http://aka.ms/BingBranding (or any successor location).
- Microsoft advertising. On any page in which you display Search Results, you will only display advertising that Microsoft serves or provides. If Microsoft includes advertising in Search Results, you will not remove, modify, or interfere with the display or viewing of this advertising.

- you must not display advertising on the same page; and
- such results must not constitute the sole or primary content of any Application.
- Restrictions on use. You will not, and will not permit your users or other third parties to:
- distribute, publish, syndicate, redistribute, transfer, transmit, make available to third parties, or enable, or allow access or linking to the Search APIs from any location or source other than your Application;
- edit, modify, translate, filter, remove, obscure, truncate, or add to or change the order of, or replace the text, images, or other content of Search Results;
- display Search Results with search results from other sources or with other content so that such other search results or content appears as displayed to be part of the Search Results, other than in either case blending and displaying with your own proprietary information;
- frame, minimize, remove, redirect, delay, or otherwise inhibit or modify the display of any web page accessed by the links provided in or associated with Search Results;
- hide or mask from us your identity, or the identity of your Application, as it uses the Search APIs, including by failing to follow the identification conventions listed in the API documentation;

- promote or provide instructional information about illegal activities or promote physical harm or injury against any group or individual;
- copy, store, or cache any Search Results;
- commercialize (i.e., sell, rent, or lease) Search Results or use them to provide any kind of commercial information service or as a source for marketing activities, whether or not a fee or consideration is payable to you;
- directly or indirectly generate impressions or clicks on Search Results, or authorize or encourage others to do so, though any automated, deceptive, fraudulent, or other invalid means or through the use of incentives (e.g. awarding cash, points, contest entries, etc.);
- take any action to remove the hyperlinks included as a part of any transmitted Search Results;
- create or attempt to create a substitute or similar service or product as that of the Search APIs or the www.bing.com site and related Bing search services through use of or access to any of the Search APIs or related proprietary information or Search Results;

- Privacy. Microsoft receives data from your Application to deliver Search Results for display to End Users. The queries and associated data you send to the Search APIs are subject to the data practices described in the end user privacy statement for services powered by Bing (as updated from time to time), at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=521839&clcid=0x409 (or any successor location). The Enterprise Products section of the Microsoft Privacy Statement does not apply to the Service Components. In the event of a conflict between the Microsoft Privacy Statement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Agreement will control.
- Brand features. You must not use any logo, trademark, or service mark obtained in connection with the Search APIs for any purpose without our prior written approval, other than to attribute under the following license.

You do not have a license to any additional or third party logo, trademark or service marks delivered as part of Search Results. Logos, trademarks and service marks accompanying Search Results are to be displayed only as an integral part of the Search Results, as described in sections E.2 and E.3 and in the API documentation. You will not claim or imply any sponsorship or endorsement of your Application by Microsoft, and will not use any Microsoft Brand Feature in a way that is misleading or deceptive.

Home > Opinion > Michelle Grattan > Article
Outside the safe seats, what are voters talking about, asks Michelle Grattan.
In Darwin last weekend to open the long-awaited railway from Alice Springs, John Howard asked local federal MP David Tollner what were the issues in his seat of Solomon.
Well, Tollner said, one was the idea of crocodile safaris. The Federal Government should not object to a proposal to provide crocodiles for paying "hunters", Tollner told the PM. When you are sitting on 0.1 per cent, the "crocodile" vote apparently can't be ignored.
Tollner holds the most marginal Coalition seat in Australia. The Country Liberal Party member is one of an 11-person club: if all these members, on margins ranging up to 1.7 per cent, were defeated the Coalition would be in opposition.
Howard talks about a loss of eight seats wiping out the Government but 11 is a more accurate figure (after the redistribution and making some assumptions about the independents).
With local and regional swings always variable, an across-the-board 1.7 per cent wouldn't necessarily knock out all these seats; and others, on bigger percentages, could be more vulnerable. But, as the PM prepares to crisscross the country in coming months to defend his marginal members, the composition of these 11 frontline seats and their incumbents' readings are instructive.
Only one is in Victoria (Deakin, in the eastern suburbs). Five are in NSW but all but Parramatta are outside Mark Latham's western suburbs domain. The other NSW seats have strong regional components: Dobell takes in the central coast; Richmond is on the north coast, Paterson is in the Hunter, and Eden-Monaro is based on Queanbeyan and takes in the south-east corner of the state. There are two metropolitan South Australian seats (Adelaide and Hindmarsh), one outer metropolitan/rural Western Australian electorate (Canning), and the Queensland regional seat of Herbert, based on Townsville.
National stories dominate the media, but in modern elections local campaigns are also crucial. When you talk to marginal members, their conversation quickly slips back to what's close to home.
If you'd tapped the mood of marginal members at the start of 2001, you'd have found deep panic. This year, there is nothing like that alarm, although they're alert to risk.
Larry Anthony, the only National, finds Richmond (1.7 per cent) "benign". No single issue is coming through - in contrast to 2001 when the GST on caravan park rentals nearly killed him. He mentions health and interest rates as sensitive, and, important in a seat with many retirees, the Minister for Children notes that "seniors like to be acknowledged and recognised".
Bob Baldwin in Paterson (1.5 per cent) says people are concerned that interest rates have started to move up, and warns there is a genuine threat Labor could take government.
A number of these MPs say voters are interested in Latham, but are in "wait and see" mode. Peter Lindsay (Herbert, 1.5 per cent), finds that while there are deep suspicions about Latham's record, "the electorate has not written Latham off by any means, and the next election will be very tough for the Howard Government".
In general, the MPs say the Howard-Latham "generation gap" is not being raised, although one, who prefers not to be named, says "it comes up a bit with younger people".
Interestingly, asked what issues voters were raising and what the Government should be doing, the words "tax cuts" crossed nobody's lips.
Health is clearly big in the marginals. "I need more doctors - I believe that's being addressed by (Health Minister) Tony Abbott," says Canning's Don Randall (0.4 per cent). Ken Ticehurst, in Dobell (0.4 per cent) wants action speeded up as much as possible. "We've got to get more GPs into my area. This is a huge problem. Bulk-billing rates are irrelevant - it's access to services. There are lots of immigrant doctors. They need to be fast tracked" to become qualified.
Federal members are finding voters deliberately or unconsciously blurring federal-state lines. "Most of the issues that tend to get raised are state issues - the hospital system is in turmoil in NSW. Certainly roads are an issue but 99 per cent of roads in my electorate are state or local. People tend not to differentiate," says Gary Nairn in Eden-Monaro (1.7 per cent).
Lindsay is so frustrated by the merging in the public mind of federal and state responsibilities for health that he'd like to see the Howard Government "take over all health services - including public hospitals - and take the state governments out of the loop".
The marginal members talk about the economy, employment growth, and security as pluses for the Government. Some mention border protection but from a minority there is concern about perceptions. Phil Barresi (Deakin, 1.6 per cent) says that "one of the criticisms sometimes levelled at us is that we pursue an agenda without a social conscience, for example on border control. That image and perception need to be combated".
Parliamentary secretary Trish Worth finds a lot more sympathy for asylum seekers in Adelaide (0.6 per cent) than in regional areas, but she's not advocating a change of policy because "so many genuine refugees who wait patiently deserve to be considered first".
But Chris Gallus, also a parliamentary secretary, says the Government's refugee policy plays well in neigbouring Hindmarsh (1 per cent), which is a "very pro-Howard" electorate.
Parliamentary secretary Ross Cameron (Parramatta, 1.2 per cent) sees the need for a better Government selling effort. "Often we're not being sufficiently good at marketing our strengths. We've got to focus on communicating clearly what the Government's done and what its plans are for going forward." Gallus thinks the Government needs to better explain the benefits of an Australian-American Free Trade Agreement.
Barresi points to the hazard that confronts a government seeking a fourth term. "Some electors will say the Government's done a great job but that it's time for a change. That's the biggest danger I face as an individual and the Government faces. It has to show we still have an agenda that responds to the community and I have to show I value add - my motto is making a difference," he says.

The trend for adornment amongst Middle Eastern women is nothing new, but nail polish is often left out of the equation.
Everything was just so very big — and with adornment to boot.
"I think the adornment rested with you and Luttrell," he says, with cutting sarcasm, answering Sir Penthony.
Everything that heart could desire for comfort or adornment was hers.
Some worldly bauble, some article of adornment which you had planned to get, which you could do without, and reap pa rich reward.
Nothing that luxury could desire, or art furnish, had been spared in its adornment.
The last occupant of the house was responsible for that adornment.
But, such as his person was, Henry did not neglect its adornment.
The fire was the only adornment; all else was cheap, and some of it was tawdry.
Originally, clothes were only worn for adornment or for protection against the cold.
late 14c., "act of adorning;" also "a thing which adorns;" from Old French aornement "ornament, decoration," from aorner (see adorn).

"At least the Gazette isn't trying to run the Transgendered Queer perversion agenda down everyone's throats like the marijuana rag does on a weekly."
High praise indeed. Is that the best defense you can muster for the Gazette?
"sounds like a personal thing?" Your hostility to the LGBTQ community is the "personal thing" in your post.
At least the Gazette isn't trying to run the Transgendered Queer perversion agenda down everyone's throats like the marijuana rag does on a weekly. Funny that Ralphie has such an axe to grind with a newspaper he worked for for several decades...sounds like a personal thing?
Why in the hell are the Gazette and GOP crowd here so afraid of Mr. Skorman?
Really, what is the source of their snarling hatred of that guy?
So then the G is kind of like the 'Archie Bunker' of newspapers?
Thank you Ralph Routon and the Independent. I have been following a blog being written and posted online by John Schroyer (former Gazette reporter) with great interest. But not knowing his background or circumstances beyond the blog, I've been cautious about giving one hundred percent credence to what I read there. Your description of the Clearing the Haze series matches his. I'm now convinced that we who are deeply concerned about Phil Anschutz's Gazette are all on the same page - that our suspicions are based on provable fact. I'd like to encourage anyone who is interested in the journalistic integrity of the news we here in Colorado Springs are receiving, to check out Mr. Schroyrer's blog. It's called "Phil's Gazette".
You can find it here:
What's happening to our news in Colorado Springs is not just worrisome .... it's alarming.
The Gazette is only concerned with part of the community. 40.31%, to be precise. Thus the disinterest in accuracy and journalistic ethics. Those items are not valued by their readers.
Registered Voters in El Paso County as of 3/20/2017
Colorado Democratic Party 94,289 21.54% Major Party
Colorado Republican Party 176,476 40.31% Major Party
Unaffiliated 157,349 35.94%
Source: http://car.elpasoco.com/Election/Pages/def…
Not that there's anything wrong about that...the First Amendment applies here. But for those looking for balance and accuracy...the Gazette is not going to be your source of news.
As for me, I just don't read it because it's a) not a reliable source, and b) it aggravates my chronic blood pressure issues.
Good one Ralph.
"Uncle Ralph" has had enough! And good on him!
It is indeed refreshing to find a male in the local 'caspar milquetoast community' of spineless weaklings who have something besides warm whipped cream stuffed down their nutsacks who will actually stand up and say something when it's obvious something needs to be said!
While everybody else is huddled up at the El Paso Club or Plaza of the Rockies.
Ralph and Pam: couple of jalapenos stuck in the middle of the bland vanilla pudding!
Couldn't have said it better myself!
The problem with our transportation infrastructure isn't lack of funding, it's that we spend the funds we already have in an extremely wasteful manner: adding more miles of pavement, or extra lanes to a busy road, intuitively makes sense as a way to reduce congestion and travel times, but in practice building more roadway always invites more traffic over time ("induced demand") and so we get a very temporary benefit at very high cost. If the goal is to improve network capacity and average speeds within and between cities, we should not be throwing money at one of the least efficient modes of intra-city transport available and should instead be investing heavily in commuter rail, buses, and infrastructure that invites walking and cycling (the exact opposite of what we have now, infrastructure which imposes extra burdens on anyone not traveling via automobile).
So you know she bought educational materials but that isn't good enough.

Who do you think will win in each district - and what importance do endorsements have on your decision on issues and/or candidates? A three minute quick -poll. Thank you
This is one of the first times I've done my research on my candidates before reading endorsements. I'll be interested to see how my opinion will be swayed between now and when I submit my ballot.
Just read the linked article provided by Jeff Hirtle about Fresno's stadium, which contained this chilling fact: "Stadium events outside of the Grizzlies initially were projected to generate $425,000 annually. In 2015, the amount was less than $10,000."
Regardless, City Leaders are proud of their beautiful stadium and consider it to be worthy of spending tax dollars to keep the red-ink stadium afloat while skimping on basic services that are the responsibility of govt to provide for its citizens. Stadium/event centers are not a profit center for any city that has one - instead, they divert tax revenue to debt service and maintenance. Stadium/event centers don't generate a profit for anyone other than the owners of nearby properties and the developer, who in the case of COS, is also the owner of numerous nearby properties.
Routon - and his fellow starry-eyed City Leaders who are determined to revitalize downtown so that it can compete with Denver - need to take off their rose-colored glasses and put on their thinking caps.
The Jenkin's stadium refuses to drop dead because the dreamers won't wake up. There are numerous stadiums around town that could host the Switchbacks, and building this minor league team a $300M dollar stadium - to be built by taxpayer dollars without taxpayer consent - for the few times the team would play in the stadium is infuriating. What is the matter with Jenkins? Is not the Olympic museum and the parking garage under his skyscraper condo building enough of a carrot to incentivize the development of his 19 or more properties in the area? Furthermore, sports enthusiasts don't go to stadiums to watch their teams - they sit in their Lazy Boys, with a Bud in one hand and turn on the telly with the other.
The mayor is right in saying that there are already far too many URGENT demands being made on taxpayer dollars, such as stormwater and roads and now we learn that the number of police officers needs to be increased to respond to violent crimes. There is NO tax money available to pay for Jenkins dream of a stadium, the purpose of which is to increase the profitability on his 19 or more properties in the area. If Routin wants a stadium, let HIM and others like him donate the $300M dollars needed to build it.
"Let's quit worrying about C4C and start getting basic services in order." Clara's comments are spot on. As are those of Miller and other commenters above. Thanks.
I'd welcome fewer opinions and blue sky proposals and a little more hard data on the demographics of the city and the planning forecast. The city is growing north and east, yet the constant conversation seems to be south and west. The motto is "If you build it, they will come." The question is: "Who are they?"
Why is the city growing -- military? New industries (unlikely when there is no immediate water source)? Tourist traffic? How does all this divide up? Where are the jobs going to coming from to pay for all the new houses -- or will the core of the city hollow out as population growth slows in the country and people move to newer areas?
The population is aging, which means more trips to the hospital. Yet the one hospital nearest downtown seems to be moving north to the top of a hill that the best driver has trouble with in bad weather. The county has moved social services far away from the center of the bus service that many low income people depend on. How will the majority of the population access any number of services -- flying there hanging off a drone?
There's a lot of wish fulfillment around. The planning to make the city work is piecemeal at best. Let's quit worrying about C4C and start getting basic services in order.
Naysayers? Naysayers to what- a bad idea? You bet. It's not that we "don't dream big", it's simply that this is a bad idea. It's a good article and I like reading the column- but my opinion is that it's a bad idea. A lot of people share this opinion.
I have an opinion of what we should do with the downtown area. My opinion is wonderful. Other people have opinions too, I doubt many are as good as mine but I'm sure it'd be a scale.
I'd love to hear other people's opinions on what to do with the downtown area. Actually, some might be better than mine! We've never had the opportunity to discuss this matter, as a city public to the public servants who represent us. The city dropped this proposal, somehow secured funding and got a few rubber stamps, and now what? Where's the money and what are we going to do with it? How many firms did we hire for design and price analysis- for what? This is all wasted money, to a bad idea. If there is money around for some project, get the public in now. Get a comprehensive input to make a unique project for our city.
Or- divert the money to get clean water for residents in our south-end.
About the only good thing to come out of the C4C proposal was that it showed how little could be done without public support.
Why put a stadium in the downtown area? We do not have a way to handle the traffic problems it would create, I25 is overcrowded as it is, and the downtown streets are impossible if anything is happening right now. There has to be a better choice that this, one that would have room for parking, while avoiding traffic jams. I know boosters want to draw people to downtown, but this isn't the way.
You forgot to mention one little thing about all of us naysayers: we are the ones who get stuck with the bill when all the best laid plans of those who "think big" collapse and fail.

It looks as if Afghan President Hamid Karzai's Cabinet strategy is still in desperate need of repair. The majority of his nominees have once again been rejected by the parliament, casting doubt on his ability to lead in the country's fractious political environment.
And let us not forget that Karzai holds power through an election debacle—e.g., fraud—and that his opponent in the 2009 runoff withdrew because he did not think the contest could be fair under the existing corrupt system. —JCL
The Guardian:
The Afghan parliament dealt a further blow to the authority of President Hamid Karzai by rejecting 10 of his 17 new cabinet nominees.
The vote today comes a fortnight after MPs turned down 70% of Karzai's first cabinet choices.
The 224 MPs did approve two key posts—Karzai's former security adviser Zalmay Rasul was approved as foreign minister and Habibullah Ghalib as justice minister.
But only one of three female nominees was approved—Amina Afzali, as work and social affairs minister. The two women proposed for the posts of public health and women's affairs were rejected.

As Karzai struggles to assemble a Cabinet, the international community frets.

In my undergraduate education, I was a student of Biblical studies. I was also an avid rap fan.
Many people can hardly put those two things together. I'd often find myself writing out a theology paper while listening to the latest rap album I had purchased. While I did listen to some rap (and other genres, for that matter) that at times felt at odds with the content of what I was writing, that simply wasn't the case with the rap music I was listening to. In fact, there were times when the lyrics would help provide me with a picture of something from the Biblical text.
Earlier this week, I wrote an introduction into this series on Christian hip-hop, and it will probably span a few more posts before I leave it alone for awhile. Today's goal, though, is primarily to introduce you to some of the content of Christian hip-hop/rap.
So rather than spending time writing about the genre, I'm going to provide some lyrics that I hope may encourage you to see the application of the music to the life of the Christian, and perhaps even find some new music you may enjoy.
God eternally exists
as being three in His personages
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and each person is
fully God and there is only one God who subsists
So chew on this cause this is meat and I'm certain of this
His prerogative could have been to conceal himself
But we serve a God who has chose to reveal himself
–Flame, "The Godhead," from the album Rewind
After 400 silent years filled with sighs and tears
In Bethlehem the Messiah appears
God in the flesh- Second Person of the Trinity
At thirty begins His earthly ministry
Baffling cats with accurate, exact facts
And back to back miraculous acts
A stumbling block to the self righteous
But the humbled- His flock, said "There's no one else like this"
He came from heaven to awake the numb
Demonstrated His power over nature, son
A foretaste of the Kingdom and the age to come
But the reason He came was to pay the sum
For the depths of our wickedness, our wretched sinfulness
Bless His magnificence- He's perfect and innocent
Yet He was wrecked and His death- He predicted it
Next He was stretched, paid a debt that was infinite
He said that He finished it- resurrected so the elect
would be the recipients of its benefits
Through faith and penitence we get to be intimate
His grace is heaven sent, it never diminishes
Now the Holy Spirit indwelling is the evidence
for heaven's future residents who truly represent
Jesus, the Author, Producer, Director and
Star of a story that will never, ever end!
–Shai Linne, "Greatest Story Ever Told," from the album Storiez
Brethren listen to this exposition
Paul wrote the Philippians some lessons for living (1:1)
Written to them but its real good text for Christians
So read it closely, I hope we can catch the vision
Chapter 1 he tells them he's blessed to get them
Co-laboring with him to serve the best who's risen (1:5, 7)
And that's he's confident the Lord will perfect in Christians
What He started and hearts will be corrected in them (1:6)
Listen, he was in prison now maybe never getting out
But all he could think about was the gospel getting out (1:12-14)
Some was even preaching Christ from selfish motives
Coming at Paul but dawg he shrugged his shoulders (1:15-18)
His focus was Christ the Messiah man (1:19)
And for Him "to live is Christ and to die was gain" (1:20,21)
Yeah, he was hard pressed, but to remain in the flesh
Was more necessary so they faith would progress (1:22-24)
He wanted them to strive together for the gospel
In one spirit, one mind, listen to the apostle (1:27)
Maintain the same love, uplift your brothers
Don't just look out for yourself, but for the interests of others (2:2-4)
–116 Clique, "To Live is Christ (Philippians) feat Trip Lee," from the album 13 Letters
You prolly never had the living God unpacked,
Unpacked by some rapper the living God don' jacked.
For His own purpose, you know it's seems to bug,
People the way He mends though he picks up scrubs.
Like you won't like me, but enough of this intro,
Introduing this God, gotta give up for this info.
Info all about the One that the texts calls 'Yahweh',
Yahweh is the I AM he had a Son come our way,
Our way to Yahweh is the man Christ Jesus,
Jesus is the Son Yahweh sent to man. Christ breezes,
Breezes to another person known as God the Spirit,
The Spirit is the third person of the God Head, hear it.
Here it is, the foundation. God's Triune.
This things hard, Hard to lay out in sixteen bars.
Bars of truth about God, Doesn't this seem odd?
A rapper would bring truth heavy as 16 cars.
–The Cross Movement, "Our God," from the album HIStory
Of course, there are numerous artists I haven't even touched on. This only represents a small group, and aside from The Cross Movement, are relatively recent in the world of music. Older artists are out there as well, of course, but since I am talking about the current validity of the genre, I've focused on artists who are still producing music, or, in the case of The Cross Movement, artists who have changed the shape of today's genre drastically.

Senator Bernie Sanders called out a group of the top US CEOs Thursday in a new report revealing top corporate tax dodgers in the US and urged those dodgers to 'look in the mirror' for the causes of America's ballooning deficit.

Growing up in southern California the "beach waves" look was not something you found in a bottle…but something you got by actually going to the beach. :-)
What we thought was just "beach hair" that we couldn't wait to get home to WASH…is now in fashion and people are paying GOOD MONEY for products designed to give them that "been at the beach all day" look.
I looked and looked for a good picture to illustrate the "beachy waves" look…and I thought this cute picture of Vanessa Hudgens was a good example.
Bumble and Bumble makes a popular product called Surf Spray. But get this….a FOUR OUNCE bottle will set you back $24.00!! I'm sorry…even if I'm MILES and MILES away from a "real" beach…I am not going to pay $24.00 for that "beach look". (And I could have really USED it the last few days while in Milwaukee! It has been SO hot and humid and my hair has been one big frizz ball!)
While I'm not sure even "Surf Spray" could have helped my frizz attack this week….I would have been willing to give it a try. :-) This afternoon, in frustration, I decided to look up how to make your own "beach waves spray" and was amazed at how SIMPLE it is!
Here is the basic "recipe" that I found on several different websites….including…ehow.com
In a spray bottle combine:
- 1 cup of water
- 2 teaspoons of Sea Salt
- 2 tablespoons hair gel
- 2 teaspoons Coconut Oil
- Essential oils for fragrance (optional)
Spray all over damp hair and scrunch with your fingers. Blow dry or let it air dry. Finger comb through your hair and you look like you just came from a beautiful and fun day at the beach!
TIP: If you have some more time you can also spray all over, part hair into sections and loosely braid your hair. Blow dry or sleep on it. When its dry, finger comb braids out.
If you have very oily hair you can add more sea salt, or if you have very dry hair, you can add more cocount oil. Play around with it until you get the perfect combination for "beach babe hair"…..withOUT having to travel to the beach! :-)

Hi everyone, my name is Michael, I am a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. I have been a Marine for 8 years now and love what I do. I am currently stationed in the middle of GA and there is nothing to do here. I am orig from PA 40 mins north of Philadelphia which means the back woods and the sticks and wouldn't trade it for anything. I got my BA in Criminal Justice from East Stroudsburg University and I am currently working on my Masters Degree in Homeland Security @ AMU. I live on my own with my dog Ammo, he is a lab pit mix. I am 99% of the time sarcastic and joke about everything cause laughing is the best part of life. I am currently single but that can always change (hopefully for the better)If anyone wants to know anything else let me know.
I listen to everything but you will mostly catch me listening to rock or country.

Meaning: apple-region
The name of three different places in the Bible…
A town in the valley or lowland of Judah; formerly a royal city of the Canaanites (Joshua 12:17; 15:34). It is now called Tuffuh, about 12 miles west of Jerusalem.
A town on the border of Ephraim (Joshua 16:8). The "land" of Tappuah fell to Manasseh, but the "city" to Ephraim (17:8).
En-tappuah, the well of the apple, probably one of the springs near Yassuf (Joshua 17:7).

Recently it occurred to me that I actually need to start thinking about what we need to do and get for our summer vacation. Going away as a family of 8 for an entire week to the lake 6 hours away takes a lot of planning.
Sure, there's a lot of things that have to be done last minute, but here's three things that I'm starting to think about right now.
Home and Pet Care
We can't take our dogs to the condo, so we have to find care for them. Last year we did not plan well enough and ended up having some stress while we were away when the pet caregivers weren't able to get the dogs to move off the couch. So this year, I'm planning ahead for our pet care.
You can find house sitters, kennels to board them at or even neighbors to care for them, what you choose is up to you those are just my basic suggestions.
Beach and Pool Accessories
When we visit the condo we spend practically every moment at the pools or at the beach or in the boat so making sure we have everything we would want for that, and more importantly a way to easily get it all to the location we are headed (bags, etc) is something that I need to figure out now.
Although summertime is typically when you'll find the best selection, it's never too early to start thinking about the various items needed for going to the beach (sand toys, towels, chairs, snacks and bags to carry it all in). The list will vary by family size and kids ages, so simply start making a list and look for sales.
In addition to everything else we have to do and take, we haul a large recreational boat with us for tubing and water skiing on the lake. In the past primarily only my husband has been able to drive the boat, but last year we talked about wanting our oldest son to get certified to drive it as well.
Summer vacation ended and we didn't think any more about it and suddenly I am realizing that if he doesn't take the course soon, we will be out of luck completely for next summer. Thankfully, I have a simple suggestion for you on this one (what a relief).
Be sure to check out this site for boating license washington. Other states are available through them as well.

Sometimes it takes a champion to attract a field of champions. They secure acceptances from surprising people. And so it is with retired three-times world Superbike champion Troy Bayliss luring a stellar line-up of present and past motorcycle stars to compete in an international dirt flat track event at his old stamping ground, the Taree Motorcycle Club's Old Bar circuit. The inaugural invitational Troy Bayliss Classic on Saturday January 19 has attracted riders from surprising quarters. It's a measure of the respect and affection in which Bayliss is held that so many will step out of their comfort zone to leap into some serious fun. Recently retired triple world speedway champ Jason Crump, former world Supersport champ Chris Vermeulen, MotoGP rider Randy de Puniet and former Australian supercross and motocross champion Dan Reardon highlight the field. Bayliss, who will don the leathers again to compete, is delighted he has secured riders from fields as diverse as motocross, enduro, road racing, supermotard, speedway, flat track and supercross. ''It's going to be awesome to see the likes of Jason Crump and Chris Vermeulen up against someone equally as skilled in their own discipline, all on a level playing field.'' Arguably there has never been such a classy and diverse entry of riders assembled in Australia. Don't think the legends will have a cruisey time either. As well as their impressively qualified peers, they'll go up against local Taree track hot shots looking for some scalps.
V8s YET TO FIND TV DEAL
Team bosses, especially those who haven't yet locked in sponsorship for this season, are dancing on hot coals because V8 Supercars Australia is yet to seal a local free-to-air television deal. It's a dire situation less than seven weeks out from the opening championship race in Adelaide. In a declining TV advertising market, it increasingly appears V8SA may be forced to accept a shorter arrangement, probably with incumbent Seven, at a reduced figure. Looking increasingly like a fantasy are the frequent boasts by former chairman Tony Cochrane of a huge increase in dollars and a scenario of networks fighting to sign the V8s. Not only are some teams still chasing budgets, but also V8SA is desperate for commercial replacements for departed sponsors such as Telstra Big Pond. A television insider told me this week V8SA has also let all their TV production contracts expire, leaving no one signed to produce the telecasts.
Matthew Brabham, the grandson of Australia's triple formula one world champion Sir Jack, will move another step closer to a grand prix career this year when he graduates to the Pro Mazda Championship driving with a team carrying another legendary motor sports name, Andretti Autosport. Brabham, 18, earned the drive after winning the US F2000 crown last year. Andretti Autosport is owned by Michael Andretti and fields cars in the Pro Mazda and Indycar series, where it won the title last year with Ryan Hunter-Reay.
Pleased to see the back of an awful year are former USAC midget champion and frequent visitor Down Under, Ron ''Sleepy'' Tripp, and gifted all-rounder John Smith, a former Australian formula Ford and formula 2 champ and Bathurst 1000 regular. Both are still hospitalised after separate life-threatening road crashes on their motorcycles in the US. Tripp has been moved from intensive care to rehab in California and is expected to make a full recovery. The former factory Toyota team driver Smith is now back in Sydney and tackling an extensive rehab regimen aimed at getting him out of his wheelchair.

Gnip launches a new firehose, Estimize, a crowdsourced earnings estimates platform.
Gnip becomes the first and exclusive provider of anonymized Foursquare data.
Gnip holds the second annual Big Boulder, the world's first conference dedicated to social data.

Gnip names Hottolink exclusive sales agent in Japan
Gnip works alongside Automattic to launch Automattic's Certified Partner Program. Networked Insights and mBlast are the first companies to be certified.
Gnip interviews more than 25 people for its Data Stories project showing how people use social data in epidemiology, natural disasters, politics, product development and much more.
Gnip launches Gnip for Blogs, the only way to get Tumblr, WordPress and Disqus data in one easy-to-consume package.
Gnip's partner program, Plugged In, turned one. In the first year, Plugged In added 23 companies, featured partners in 9 Gnip blog posts, wrote 4 partner whitepapers (FirstRain, mBLAST, TrendyBuzz, Clarabridge), held 3 partner webinars (SMA, Infomart/Infochimps, mBLAST), produced 2 partner videos (Union Metrics, Pivotal), and co-presented at 2 conferences! Phew.
The Big Boulder Initiative takes a big step forward with workshops in four different cities to discuss the future of social data.
And yesterday, Gnip published its 100th blog post for the year.

Currently D.C.'s Public Charter School Board is the only entity that can authorize a charter school opening. Henderson says if she had that authority, DCPS-authorized charter schools would retain their independence, but also benefit from DCPS's large system.The benefits listed in the article include savings with suppliers, curricula generation and school locations.
A bit of history: From 1996 to 2006 the DC Board of Education had the ability to approve and provide oversite to charter schools in the District. The Board gave up that ability voluntarily, making the independent DC Public Charter School Board the lone authorizer of public charter schools. The BOE chartered fewer schools than the independent board, and their schools on average reported worse academic performance and more of their schools had governance issues. In 2007, with Adrian Fenty's election to the mayorship the DC Council voted to give they Mayor's office direct control over DCPS and codifying DCPCSB as the only authorizer of charter schools.
So, what does Chancellor Henderson want? A second authorizing board that DCPS controls reminiscent of the old BOE charter board? That may benefit any DCPS charted schools with sharing contracts and curricula, but would do nothing to coordinate public and charter school placement, keeping charters from "cannibalizing" public schools. That would require complete control of charter schools going forward. Is that Chancellor Henderson's end game?

According to its designers, Freedom Ship's main objectives are to provide a unique, travelling residential community, combining the amenities of a modern city with those of a premium resort in an attractive, stimulating, and secure environment, and to create a dynamic commercial community whose privately-owned on-board enterprises will sell their products and services worldwide.
The proposal also aims to establish the world's largest duty-free retail shopping mall and bring it to markets around the world.
Freedom Ship International is currently trying to raise the funds needed to turn the prototype into a reality after several years of planning.
'This will be a very heavily capitalised project and the global economy in the last few years has not been too inviting for unproven progressive projects like ours,' said Freedom Ship director and vice president Roger M Gooch. '[But] in the last six months we have been getting more interest in the project and we are hopeful we will raise the $1billion to begin construction.'

Lindsay Carse Opens Second Salon in Santa Monica
Lindsey Carse, the youngest salon owner in Beverly Hills, announced the grand opening of her second salon in Santa Monica - Fringe of Beverly Hills: A Kyle Mathis Salon at 2717 Main Street, Santa Monica, CA 90405.
Carse opened her first salon, Fringe of Beverly Hills: A Lindsey Carse Salon- 9406 Brighton Way, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, - in the heart of Beverly Hills in March of 2011. In the short span of a year, her business had flourished and she decided to open her second salon. Within the first year she had her salon, she also met the love of her life, Kyle Mathis, and was recently engaged.
Mathis has had over 16 years in the hair stylist industry and has been an educator for Toni & Guy, TIGI , and Bedhead. Mathis will be managing the Fringe in Santa Monica while Carse manages the Fringe in Beverly Hills.
Recently, Seventeen magazine featured Carse in an article called "Girls who Started Their Own Businesses!" The article praises her for position as a role model and for her success: "[A]t just 26, Carse's dream finally came true - she became the youngest female salon owner in Beverly Hills with the launch of Fringe of Beverly Hills: A Lindsey Carse Salon!"
At age 15, Carse "realized that hair was [her] calling" while working at a small salon in Montana. Two years later at 17, she headed out West. She dreamt of owning her own salon on Rodeo Drive. She enrolled at Vidal Sassoon Academy in Santa Monica when she arrived in California. When Carse graduated from the academy at age 18, she was offered an apprenticeship at the Vidal Sassoon in Beverly Hills.
When she finished her apprenticeship she went on tour as the tour hair stylist with the Dave Matthews Band. She then moved back to Beverly Hills to once again to "be a part of the hair mecca of the world" as she says.
Carse believes that part of her business success stems from the family-setting culture of her team. Whether she is asking her stylists for opinions or advice, she always respects their view and showcases their talents.
