Working with a Restoration Provider
No one wants to believe that disaster is possible: But, when building emergencies strike, it's imperative that you know who to call. Disaster restoration experts can provide recovery solutions ranging from restoration and mold remediation to reconstruction. Forming a partnership with a provider that has the skills and expertise to clean up a disaster and restore the building is crucial to resume "business-as-normal" operations. Knowing who to hire is a matter of asking the right questions:
However, one thing is certain - the longer the delay, the greater the chance that water intrusion will result in mold and mildew growth. "It takes 48 to 72 hours for mold colonies to germinate because of moisture," Duncanson explains. Microbial and bacterial growth can also result if you don't act quickly. There are many reasons to create a pre-disaster agreement with a restoration provider, but one of the most advantageous is that it allows the recovery to begin almost immediately. Clients who have signed pre-arranged contracts receive priority response.
Once hired, trust the provider to do the job. They're experts with skills, training, and equipment, and will have the building up and running as smoothly as before. To make their efforts as effective as possible, promptly provide your restoration partner with all necessary information (e.g. building plans, information about the facility's power supply, etc.).
"In the past, disaster recovery started focusing on computers and information systems. Over the years, people just haven't thought about the facility and how to get [it] back up and running. Now, a little more focus has [been directed] to the facility," says Williams.

text: House Dems Trash ObamaCare in Campaign Ad Print article Send a Tip by Mike Flynn 16 Jan 2014 post a comment House Majority PAC, a Democrat super-PAC supporting Congressional Democrats, is running a new ad in support of vulnerable incumbent Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-AZ). The ad trashes the rollout out of ObamaCare's health exchanges. The ad claims that Rep. Kirkpatrick "blew the whistle" on the "disastrous" health care website. It quotes her calling the rollout "stunning ineptitude." The quote is from November 15th, a month-and-a-half after ObamaCare's exchanges were launched. Not certain that really qualifies as a whistleblower. The ad also says Kirkpatrick "worked to fix" the problems. When talking to reporters in Washington, national Democrats say that they will run on ObamaCare and it will help them in November. When actually campaigning, however, they sing a different tune it seems.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I was an OMEGA student for 3 years. First, the academics were under par. There is an extreme grade inflation where the teachers give A's easily. I got straight A's solely because of this. However I remember having to deal with specific very unprofessional teachers, teachers who didn't care about their jobs and cared more about telling stories about their personal life or being a coach, and the list goes on. I took the highest classes available and still felt inadequately prepared for some classes in high school. Second, the economic and social diversity is incredibly disappointing. Yes there are students with a lower income background and students with a higher income background, but there was no mixing whatsoever and the OMEGA program only reinforced it. You could clearly see a racial+economic split and there was no encouragement to try and fix it. Third, this school is so overpopulated that it was so difficult to walk through hallways without feeling invaded. In fact, none of us were allowed to wear backpacks because it would take up too much room. Overall I do not recommend this school and there are many problems needed to be fixed.
This school is great for SOME people. I really liked most things about this school such as athletics and academics. I was in the OMEGA program all 3 years and took PreAP everything else and most of my teachers were great. This school has room for improvement in several areas such as projects. I got a lot of projects and sometimes (but not all the time) teachers weren't very willing to help. I would have questions and to answer those questions they would give us guidelines which didn't help AT ALL!! Literally none of the requirements would even made sense. Another problem this school has, and why it is only great for some people, is that some of the students tend to shun other students that aren't the same as they are. I was one of the popular, athletic guys so I didn't notice at the time, but thinking back on it some of the people in my social group weren't very nice to less popular people. The "preps" and the ghetto kids really never got along and could be pretty mean at times. Many of the people in advanced classes, myself included, lived in Bay Oaks and had money and looked down on those that didn't have money because we thought they weren't as good as we were.
An excellent mix of academic, athletic, and fine arts. The school does draw from the spectrum of parent backgrounds - from lower economic to very accomplished economic backgrounds so the students bring that to class with them. The advanced academic classes are primarily students who's parents are comfortable, the students there have all of the most recent electronics for instance. The teachers are somewhat aware of this and try to encourage the students to get along. The facilities are very good and classes have supplies they need. The music programs are excellent.
This school is extremely disappointing. From my sibling's experience, teachers refuse to help students, such as with lockers, and the pickup system is appalling. My mom has to wait 30 min to an hour just for the pickup. Frankly, I'd recommend a better school.
Although the education is great at this school, the students are very stuck-up and snobbish. Being a new student at this school is a nightmare, and if you're not smart or popular, you're basically ignored.
It's a great school with lots of opportunity for growth and advancement, along with lots of parental involvement, your child will succeed.
Very good facilities and staff. There are no worries about fires since they are across the street from a fire station! One nit - the PTA is run by some intrusive, controlling, gossipy moms that really drive people away unless you agree with everything they say.
I was very discouraged during our 3 years at Space Center Intermediate. I felt that the school as a whole was very unorganized and that things got overlooked, done late or not done at all. The drop off and pick up was a nightmare. There were teachers there to direct the drop off and pick up, but they did not direct. They have a program called 'Pull Out Math' for students who need extra help with Math and they discontinued it a few weeks before TAKS when the students needed it the most. The lunch process was very unorganized also as there were too many students trying to eat lunch all at once. A lot of times my daughter did not even get to eat her lunch because by the time her table was called, lunch was over.
I am a former student here and this is school is absolutely the best in the school disctrict. The music program is literally the best in texas, which says a lot. The band directors are so nice and patient. The sport teams here are fabulous winninng pracitcly every year. Academics are important here, and scis have produced very intelligent kids. Parent involvement is what makes this school as great as it is. Many parents help out with activities which makes everything run smooth. I love this school! and you might too.
Very nice new school, still smells new, high ceilings and lots of space. Disadvantage of large size is that path from class to class may be long. Quality of teaching and the way subjects are addressed seem to be OK, but I'm not very involved. Music program is outstanding, with an amazing percentage of State Honors band members coming from this school. One of the highest rated music progams in the second largest population State.

Media Arts Seniors Veronica Black, Amy Wilson Receive Seabury Fellowships

Media Arts Seniors Veronica Black, Amy Wilson Receive Seabury Fellowships
Two New Mexico Highlands University media arts students received $2,500 fellowships fall semester, thanks to the Seabury Foundation and a full match from the university's foundation.
Outstanding seniors Veronica Black and Amy Wilson were tapped for the honor. They showcased their multimedia projects at a Dec. 8 presentation and reception.
"These students have turned out extraordinary, impressive work that is so advanced," said Deborah Seabury Holloway, Seabury Foundation board member. "The Media Arts Program at Highlands is a jewel."
Holloway's grandfather established the Seabury Foundation in 1947. This is the third semester Holloway has teamed up with the university's foundation to award fellowships to media arts students at Highlands. The fellowships give students the financial support and freedom to produce independent portfolio projects.
"My dream is to be accepted into the MFA program at the Savannah College of Art and Design," Black said. "It has an amazing program called motion media design, which will take what I've learned here in media arts to the next level. Participating in so many media arts museum design projects at Highlands has inspired me to take my skill set to museums when I complete my graduate studies."
As a Highlands student, Black worked on numerous real-world multimedia projects, including producing videos for the New Mexico History Museum and the Marian Koshland Science Museum in Washington, D.C. She's also presented her work at the international Museums and the Web Conference.
For her Seabury fellowship project, Black produced a typography and stop motion video, titled 'Blue Bird Fly,' she will submit with her MFA program applications. Another stop motion video she produced was selected for the Santa Fe Film Festival. Stop motion is an animation technique that creates the illusion of objects moving.
"Veronica is good at so many things and has always upped the ante in terms of creating multimedia design projects that meet industry standards," said Megan Jacobs, media arts professor and scholarship coordinator. "Her filmmaking skills are exceptional, very creative and nuanced, and she's also an excellent film editor. The Seabury project she produced is not only a technically superb video, it's engaging and playful."
Amy Wilson transferred to Highlands in 2008 to compete on the university's rodeo team as a barrel racer and breakaway roper and pursue her degree in media arts.
"Being a cowgirl is not just something I've loved, it's who I am," said Wilson, who hails from Kansas and was named Miss Rodeo America in 2008. "I'm really passionate about the sport of rodeo and my dream job is to be a rodeo reporter and commentator. My goal is to work for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, which is increasing its news coverage."
For her Seabury fellowship project, Wilson produced a video resume she will submit to the PRCA and other rodeo broadcasters. Her video features her interviewing big-name rodeo professionals she met during her reign as Miss Rodeo America.
As a media arts student, Wilson used still photography to create striking images that portray what she calls "the intimate beauty of ranching." Her videos of the university's rodeo team vividly capture the true grit of the sport and the determination of the athletes.
"Through media arts, Amy has found a way to bridge her passion for both rodeo and media," Jacobs said. "She's very well spoken and visually creative. Amy's definitely ready to take the next step professionally. Now we just need to wait to see her on TV as a rodeo commentator."

K-12 Security: Roundtable- Selling School Solutions
Three integrators offer tips on how to make the grade with clients when it comes to K-12 and higher education security
Who does an integrator usually work with on a job — is it Security, Facilities Management, someone else?
Olivares: Our experience in some of the local community college projects we have done is that we deal with the directors/managers of physical security. They understand how things work. We also work with their IT staff.
Fairbanks: The most successful deployments include the Facilities, IT, Student Services, HR, Procurement, Safety and Compliance Reporting functional representatives.
Beck: It depends on the school district or university, who is in charge of the project and what type of project it is.
Are there special kinds of equipment/technology for education as opposed to business offices, for example?
Olivares: Most of the equipment/systems in the education environment are similar to those used in the business office environment. Some more common items in the education environment are door lockdown systems, audible alarms throughout the campus, emergency phone call stations in parking lots, etc.
Beck: Not really — you will use a commercial grade system which is the same for all buildings.
Fairbanks: Agreed — the same technology is deployed in both markets.
How do you test the waters to see if your market actually wants the service?
Fairbanks: Meeting with the organization and uncovering their current and future plans.
Olivares: We are constantly looking for bid opportunities on the web from school district and college websites for their needs.
Beck: Letters, cold calling, references — but it depends on the project.
What are some dos and donts for the newbie?
Beck: Do design a good system. Don't bring the project in so low that you cannot complete it or lose money on it. Do provide a good solid system with a good warranty. Do keep it simple and makes sure it works. Be comfortable and do not take on projects that are out of your comfort zone. Beware of bids or projects designed by people who do not understand our business. It is better to walk away from a potential project that is poorly designed or will not work.
Olivares: Like any other market, do not get your customer upset. If you want to continue to do business in the market and move on to larger higher education systems, you will need specific market experience with project references under your belt.
Fairbanks: Do invest time in understanding the organization's culture, structure, needs and risk.

Yoga Bitch: One Woman's Quest to Conquer Skepticism, Cynicism, and Cigarettes on the Path to Enlightenment by Suzanne Morrison
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This was 352 pages of whining with an occasional insight or funny quip thrown in. Another whining 30 something looking to fulfill the "hole in her heart". Atheism - too much / Christianity - too much / Yoga - not enough cigarettes and chocolate. Too many pages of a spiritual quest spent deciding whether or not to buy a pistachio green Prada handbag. She had a ridiculous crush her guru, only to completely turn on her in the end. God or the absence of God and people can't please this woman. She should stick to cigarettes and call it a day.
Suzanne is attempting enlightenment - so much so that she is traveling to Bali to become a yoga instructor and be at peace with the world. Her memoir takes you through the really funky (in my opinion) things that people do to achieve this. From drinking pee (no, I am not kidding) to discussing other bodily functions in full detail (again, seriously)...I was dying with laughter.
However, the book lost it's humor and zest about halfway through for me. It became more introspective, which may have been cathartic for the author, but given that I'm not a yoga-ish person, it didn't hit a chord with me. I WISH I were - it seems very cool, but I'm too bouncy. Could never focus for that long (although, neither does Suzanne for that matter)...
An enjoyable, short read - especially for those who have taken at least a few yoga classes that will get even more of the humorous aspect.

Painting is something that came very late for me. I have always loved colors and textures and working with my hands, but it was almost an accident that painting became an interest. And, until about 10 years ago when I was not changing jobs and moving, I did not have a place where I could paint on a regular basis.
The decision to use watercolors was based in part on portability and the fact they did not need a lot of room. Ha! Not true anymore! I now have a room where I can paint, and many more tubes of paint than I need. While I could try another medium, I have enough to entertain me already. I love watercolors because they can be soft and gentle or full of energy and bright colors. Painting is practice, and most of my learning has come from seeing something and wondering if I can paint it. Sometimes it works better than other times, but I always learn from doing a new picture.
During the winter months I usually paint flowers because I miss my garden and study seed catalogs, but spring comes and my heart turns to boats and other things. I paint from pictures I have taken or sometimes from pictures in those seed catalogs.

The Wall Street Journal uses this chart to illustrate a story on a new report issued by Morgan Stanley on "Inequality and Consumption."*
Morgan Stanley's research suggests weaker-than-usual consumption at the lower end of the income ladder helps explain why this economic recovery has been particularly anemic.
"It has taken more than five years for U.S. households to 'feel' like they are in recovery," write economists Ellen Zentner and Paula Campbell in the report, entitled "Inequality and Consumption."
Before the recession, they say, "the expansion of credit simply delayed the day of reckoning from declining incomes and rising inequality."
Apparently, economists at Standard & Poor's and Morgan Stanley have begun to understand the macroeconomic effects of rising inequality, a problem that legions of mainstream academic economists have simply ignored.
*I haven't yet been able to obtain a copy of the report itself. I will write about it as soon as I do.
Here are some other charts from the report (courtesy of Marketwatch):

"Exposure to different aeshetics, typography and markets would be very helpful in exposing students to new and different ways of thinking and seeing."
What are the benefits of study abroad for someone in Graphic Design?
Graphic design students who study abroad gain a greater understanding of cultural, historical, economic preferences and values that can be considered when designing for an international market. Going abroad offers students an opportunity to enhance their communication skills and gain insights into a changing global market.
When is the best time for Graphic Design students to go abroad?
The graphic design program is very structured, but with effective planning for coursework, students can go abroad. Students need to look at the availability of required courses and take into account curricular requirements that must be taken in sequence. Students will most likely be able to go abroad during their sophomore or junior year and can potentially take courses in art history, graphic design or typography. The summer is also a good option for students.
What types of academic requirements can I fulfill abroad?
University-wide requirements: Tier II courses can often be fulfilled easily abroad. Tier III courses are offered on some OHIO study abroad programs, but credit for Tier III generally cannot be transferred back from a non-OHIO or exchange program.
Graphic Design requirements: Graphic design requirements may be possible to complete abroad. Additionally, art studio courses are available through some OHIO study abroad experiences or may be transferred in from outside programs. Students would need to seek approval of transfer credit prior to studying abroad by completing a Foreign Study Checklist available at the Office of Education Abroad.
What are other academic considerations for someone in Graphic Design?
In the field of graphic design, students are often creating designs for audiences outside of the U.S. or working for overseas clients. Students who have studied abroad are at a greater advantage as they understand more societal norms and know what types of work will be well-received by international clients. Students may also be exposed to alternative design principles and programs when studying internationally.
What do I do next?

The effect of stereoscopy and motion cues on 3D interpretation task performance
Schooten van, Boris W. and Dijk van, Elisabeth M.A.G. and Zudilova-Seinstra, Elena and Suinesiaputra, Avan and Reiber, Johan H.C. (2010) The effect of stereoscopy and motion cues on 3D interpretation task performance. In: International Working Conference Advanced Visual Interfaces, AVI 2010, 26-29 May 2010, Rome, Italy.
Restricted to UT campus only: Request a copy
|We study the effectiveness of stereoscopy and smooth motion
as 3D cues for medical interpretation of vascular structures
as obtained by 3D medical imaging techniques. We designed
a user study where the user has to follow a path in a mazelike
solid shaded 3D structure. The user controls rotation
of the model. We measure user performance in terms of
time taken and error rate. The experiment was executed
with 32 (medical and non-medical) users. The results show
that motion cue is more important than stereoscopy, and
that stereoscopy has no added value when motion is already
present, which is not consistent with previous experiments.

Science and Grace
God's Reign in the Natural Sciences
Jesus Christ is Lord of creation and Christians are called tobear witness to his glory and faithfulness in all things. Yet inrecent years, science and Christianity have often been consideredtwo distinct types of knowledge, each self-contained-the truth ofone doing nothing to the validity of the other. We are now livingin a time of transition from a modern to a postmodern culturalcontext, and how exactly Christianity and science will influenceand be influenced by this transition is yet to be seen.
In this transition, the divide that seemed to exist betweenthese two branches of knowledge appears to be crumbling and anapparent "war" between science and Christian theology hasstarted-with many on both sides insisting that a high regard of theone automatically translates into a low regard for the other. Moreand more the developments of science appear to challenge the basicbeliefs of Christianity. Has science gotten off track? DoesChristian theology need to be corrected by science? Is there such athing as a Christian science or is science just science? The shiftin our cultural backdrop now provides a valuable opportunity forChristians to examine these questions and to reassess the way wehave come to frame science and religion issues.
While many books address science and faith issues, Scienceand Grace uniquely offers wisdom for Christians who desire torefine their perspective on science so that critical analysis ofthe scientific pronouncements of our day as well as thankfulappreciation for scientific endeavor spring naturally from theirChristian worldview. Authors Tim Morris and Don Petcher helpreaders to develop a "theology of science" that utilizesspecifically Christian convictions about God's faithfulness to hiscreation. This "theology of science" encourages Christians to beactively and confidently involved in science itself as well as inthe current discussions about the status of science in our culture,thus bearing witness to God's reign even in the naturalsciences.less

Who's the Fastest?
SUPERMAN #709 provides an exhilarating new twist on the classic question of who's faster: Superman or Flash? Who will outrun the other and what the heck is that thing on Flash's head that's making him speak Kryptonian and recite the planet's history?
Written by J. Michael Straczynski and Chris Roberson, with artwork by Eddy Barrows & J.P. Mayer and a cover by John Cassaday, SUPERMAN #709 continues the Man of Steel's "Grounded" storyline — this time bringing Superman to the vast landscapes of Boulder, Colorado.
SUPERMAN #709 lands in comic book stores today.
Who do you think is faster, SOURCE readers? Superman or Flash? Place your bets.

Lucky Bar Street sports joint Sangria will soon reopen as… The Stumble Inn. Former Paddy O'Shea's manager Glenn Phelan is consulting on the project and says patrons can expect a blend of a sports bar and a place to simply hang out with your mates, with opium den-style beds as well as TVs, dart boards, and pool and foosball tables. The opening is slated for January 16.
Look for The Stumble Inn to attract the White Rabbit crowd for pre-boogie drinks. And a shout out to another venue on that strip, Nashville, which continues to draw crowds and offers a very nice single malt collection.

Nokia Siemens to head stateside to fill Huawei-shaped market gap
Summary: Considering Huawei and ZTE can't compete stateside thanks to a U.S. House investigation, Nokia Siemens Networks can and is looking to fill the Huawei-shaped hole in the market.
After a U.S. House Intelligence Committee found that Huawei and ZTE, which provide telecoms equipment to cellular and wired networks, "cannot be trusted" to be free from foreign state influence and "thus pose a security threat to the United States," it left many networking companies which buy their products up the creek without a paddle.
Finland-based Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) is looking to fill the gap, and what an opportune time: the company is sinking and it needs to expand stateside or face potential collapse.
In a Bloomberg interview, NSN chief executive Rajeev Suri said that while the "industry is a tough place," he noted that: "the U.S. is certainly an opportunity so we'll be there," hinting that the firm could expand stateside to take advantage of the market void left by the damning verdict of the U.S. House committee.
Joint owned by Nokia and Siemens, the venture has been in operation since 2007. But in spite of its short life span, the firm has already started to sink. Earlier this year, it warned that it would have to cut as many as 400 jobs to cut global operational costs, amid rumors that rival Ericsson could buy one of the firm's more-survivable divisions.
By leaving less lucrative contracts in Africa and the Middle East, the company is looking to North America where sales in network equipment for faster connections has fallen by 6 percent. It's now trying to reverse the trend and pump up marketing spending in a bid to tap the potential goldmine of data services in the region.
For instance, Bloomberg reports that major global networks, such as Germany's Deutsche Telekom (which owns U.S.-based T-Mobile USA), and AT&T, which wants to spend $14 billion on network investments in the next three years, are looking to award contracts to build larger, faster wireless networks for their millions of customers.
Though NSN may remain the underdog in the telecoms equipment selling business, its fight-back could result in the end of other, rival firms -- such as Paris, France-based Alcatel-Lucent with its financial problems, which could ultimately help NSN secure larger contracts over others.
Alcatel-Lucent, after abysmal third quarter results, is reportedly in financing talks with investment bank Goldman Sachs, after the firm warned it may have to sell off assets and lose thousands of employees as it bids to conserve cash.
But first for NSN is to handle its scandal. Improving the firm's profitability won't happen overnight. The firm will continue to cut jobs -- around one-quarter of the firm's staff -- in a bid to head back into the black, and will focus on financial health while planning its break to another lucrative market.
"The key is to be patient and play the long game," Suri said.

Are you a new student this semester? Please read the Steps to Enroll before taking action on your plans.
Posted: Feb 20, 2014
A new model for student orientations at TMCC will meet students where they like to be – working interactively online in combination with small-group in-person sessions where they will receive individualized assistance.
"Research shows that if a student attends college orientation, they are more likely to graduate," said Natalie Brown, program director in the Academic Advisement, Transfer, and International Student Advising Center at TMCC.
Previously, 3-hour orientation presentations were held for up to 120 students at a time. There were 13 sessions for the spring and 35 for summer/fall semesters.
"At the larger group orientation sessions in the past, we wouldn't have time to meet with students one-on-one, so they might not know the specific class they'd need to register for, and then might not register," Brown said.
The new orientation model will be available for the summer and fall 2014 semesters. The online component will become available during March, and small group lab workshops will continue from March 31 until classes start in the fall.
The first half of the orientation is called "SOAR I," Student Orientation, Advising and Registration. Students receive a link to the Canvas tutorial through their TMCC email.
"The first step in the new orientation is online; students will get a link to Canvas that is very intuitive," Brown said. "Every topic that had been covered in the in-person large group session will be on Canvas. There aren't too many places to go, so it's not too confusing. They're organized into modules, go in order, and each module starts with a video."
Subjects covered will include an introduction to helpful resources at TMCC like the Tutoring and Learning Center (TLC), time management, what a hybrid course is, an online tour of campus locations, English and Math placement information, procedures in applying for financial aid, how to navigate MyTMCC and more topics important to new students.
The estimated time to complete the tutorial, complete with brief quizzes, is about one hour. However, students may complete the modules in parts and refer back to them later for review.
"Students can go at their own pace, from the comfort of their own home," Brown said. "There will be so many more time-of-day options for the in-person groups; we'll have sessions nearly every day. Also, they will have access to the online tutorials all semester."
After successfully completing SOAR I online, students will sign up for in-person advising and small-group SOAR II session in the advising computer lab.
"The second part of the orientation is with two advisors to only 20 people in each workshop," Brown said. "In the advising lab, students will be in front of a computer and actually be able to register, so they feel confident in their first semester schedule."
In the computer lab, students will practice logging on to MyTMCC, receive guidance about any prerequisites and foundational courses they need, and register for one class up to a full load.
"There will be about 140 small-group sessions for summer/fall registration, and they'll be offered in the morning, afternoon, evening, and on Saturdays," Brown said.
In-person workshops will also be offered at high schools; taking place in computer labs around the region.
The online component will also give advisors more opportunities to reach out and offer individualized assistance.
"We'll now be able to see which online modules have been completed, so we can email students and offer help so that they can finish the online part of the orientation," Brown said.
In addition to getting the information needed when starting college, students will also be introduced to staff and resources they will most likely use in the future.
"It's a more welcoming environment, with just one advisor for each 10 students," Brown said. "Students will meet the advising staff and become familiar with the advisement office, so they feel comfortable asking questions and coming back whenever they need more information."

According to the Ansteorran Marshallate Secretary in this Kingdom as of 03/09/01 Combat Archers are outnumbered by Armored Fighters 149 to 537. Take into account that we peobably field nearly as large a percentage of combat archers as about any other kingdom and there are a number of other Kingdoms where there is no CA at all and what you get is probably Archer being outnumbered 8 to 1 or perhaps even more. (I think the SEM figures it is 15 to 1 but he is probably biased a wee bit and is using figures from his kingdom were archery is definatly not favored) Ofcourse that 8 to 1 just a gut feel since the only hard data I have is for Ansteorra.

Adventures with paywalls, FT edition
Every so often, I get puzzled looks from FT types when I complain about their paywall, and say that it's not only user-unfriendly for non-subscribers, it's particularly user-unfriendly for subscribers, too.
Here's what greeted me this morning when I followed a link to an FT story:
What happened was that the page started loading — it got as far as the headline. Then it greyed out, and the paywall box appeared. (And then — this is my favorite bit — a video flash ad started playing on top of the paywall box; it went away before I could get a screengrab.)
You can see, in the greyed out bit, that I'm logged in to the site: it says "Welcome felix" right there. Yet the paywall is asking me to login again.
When I did that, I ended up at the FT.com homepage, rather than the article I wanted to read. So I went back to the link which sent me to the FT and clicked it again. This time, I got this:
This is not much of an improvement. I'm still logged in, but now it thinks I'm a registered reader who's used up his quota for free articles and who isn't a subscriber. Not true! I'm a paid subscriber.
If I click on the big button saying "Click here to continue", however, it treats me as though I have no subscription:
But if I make my way to the "Your account" link, the site still tells me that I have "Unlimited FT.com access". Ha.
Now I have a theory for what might be going on here. This is the link I was following; if you look at the URL, it's a bit of a mess, seems to include the address twice, and has the string "Authorised=false" in the middle. Here it is:
I have no idea what might be going on here, but I seem to run into this problem quite a lot when I follow FT links which other people have shared using various social media tools. When a link to the FT escapes into the wild, it seems, the FT tends to treat it with extreme prejudice, and errs on the side of shutting it down. The FT's OK with people sharing links using its own internal sharing tools, but good old-fashioned linking is not something it's very cool with.
This is why I say that the FT and NYT paywalls are very different beasts. If someone's doing the NYT a favor by linking to its stories, the NYT will welcome all those visitors. The FT, by contrast, sends them away, even if they're FT subscribers.
The FT site works fine for subscribers who read it the old-fashioned way, starting at the homepage and then clicking around. As does the web app on the iPad. But for those of us who get our news from feeds, following links from email or Twitter or Facebook or an RSS reader, the FT paywall is a disaster. And it generates a large amount of ill will from people like me who pay hundreds of dollars a year for "unlimited access" to the site.
We welcome comments that advance the story through relevant opinion, anecdotes, links and data. If you see a comment that you believe is irrelevant or inappropriate, you can flag it to our editors by using the report abuse links. Views expressed in the comments do not represent those of Reuters. For more information on our comment policy, see http://blogs.reuters.com/fulldisclosure/2010/09/27/toward-a-more-thoughtful-conversation-on-stories/
I'm also an FT.com premium subscriber, and have run into precisely the same circle of frustration. I call customer service, putting the speakerphone on, and, hopefully costing them something in terms of 800-charges and the use of their customer service person. It really seems like the program that puts the paywall up isn't talking to their subscription system computer.
Agreed!!! It's very frustrating, they really need to sort it out.
Well – having discovered this, I will never subscribe.
Not worth the hassle. What a farce.
FT, you putzes, why have and RSS feed service if you can't link directly from the feed? Doh!
And Felix, ever notice that some articles and opinions that show up in the RSS feed are not available in the iPad html5 edition? Makes we wonder if I'm missing important stuff on a regular basis.
My guess (fwiw I'm a software developer) is that whomever provided the link to you is a registered user that does not have a paid subscription, hence the authorised=False variable of the URL.
Basically that means that the URL you're clicking is unique to the particular user that sent it to you. The 2f5b6c70-ccd5-11e0-88fe-00144feabdc0 id is most likely that person's authentication token. So when you use that URL as opposed to sending a user agnostic URL through the "Send Now" button, the FT website thinks you're the person that generated the auth token.
The website should, instead, be verifying the auth token of the URL against your authentication cookie (a locally generated file which is saving your correct user name). It's lazy programming at best and a potential security threat at worst as it may be possible to use that authentication token to hack into other sections (think admin pages) of the website.
@spectre855 Additionally, by changing to authorised=true in that URL you can go directly to the article.
I also subscribe to the FT & totally agree with Felix's complaints.
Two things. First, I was incorrect about the guid being a reference to the user. It's only an identifier for the article. Apparently, FT's code simply checks for the existence of the Authorised=false variable first and if that is found, does not even bother to verify your authorization against your login cookie.
Second, @dopplex, notice that the article you're redirected to is an old article from 2008. I believe this is caused by the spaces in the text version of the URL that Felix copied. You should be redirected to an error page but you get this one instead. If you try the same thing from the direct link above, you will still run into the paywall.
If you are not a paid subscriber, or even if you are, you can go directly to the article from a Google search.
I have complained to FT about that several times. Each time it was obvious that the service people I emailed with did not bother to read my complaints.
I am very tempted to end my subscription.
I can't think of any recent outstanding blog conversation centered on an FT article. Judge Judy's bailiff encourages more conversations than the FT's gated links.
After many failed attempts, I won't try to share links to friends via IM any more. Email the Lex team in confidence, yes, but share a Lex column with diffidence.
The FT has the best financial writing, read by everyone who's anyone, to be discussed with nobody in earshot of anybody. They should expand the Food & Drink section, as the FT is almost ideal for mute contemplation during chewy meals. It is still a bit too easy for us subscribers to reach an article, sometimes by accidental straining, sometimes by plain bad luck, but I have faith that the FT can solve this.
It is funny – some subscription sites get so concerned with converting free readers to paid that they forget about the user experience once you are a paid subscriber! That is key when it comes to renewal time.
Kathy McCabe
I just cancelled my subscription to the FT out of disgust. They dropped the print edition in Texas and equivocated about access to FT.Com. I was using it for teaching purposes in a university–marvelous, ideal vehicle–but their pricing structure and dreadful customer service has led me to this. They obviously don't give a damn how many educated subscribers they lose.
whoah this blog is excellent i love studying your articles. Stay up the great paintings! You know, many people are hunting around for this info, you can aid them greatly.

It's laborious to find educated people about this subject, however you sound like you are already aware what you will be speaking about! Thanks
This is one awesome article post.Really thank you! Will read on…

Are You Chasing Power?
- Wednesday, February 04, 2009
Heavenly Father, we bow our heads and thank You for Your love. Accept our thanks for the peace that yields this day and the shared faith that makes its continuance likely. Make us strong to do Your work, willing to heed and hear Your will, and write on our hearts these words: 'Use power to help people.' For we are given power not to advance our own purposes, nor to make a great show in the world, nor a name. There is but one just use of power, and it is to serve people. Help us to remember it, Lord. Amen."
It was a beautiful expression of Mr. Bush's understanding of why he had been entrusted with so much power. And it was an expression of his commitment to use the power of his office for good, for God and for others—and not to serve or glorify himself.
John Maxwell once observed, "The best leaders feel motivated by love and compassion for their people." And Regina Brett, columnist for The Plain Dealer (Cleveland, Ohio), put it this way: "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace."
Lech Walesa is the former trade unionist and human rights activist who led Poland out from under the shadow of Soviet domination. By profession, he was a shipyard worker. On August 14, 1980, Lech Walesa scaled the wall of the Lenin Shipyard in Gdansk, Poland, and led the shipyard workers' strike—a peaceful rebellion against Communist oppression. Out of that strike came the Solidarnosc (Solidarity) Free Trade Union. For his role in the formation of the union, Walesa spent nearly a year in prison, plus another four years under house arrest—but he was also awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. He donated the prize money to Solidarnosc.
Lech Walesa proved himself to be a man of power—and a man of peace. Before the Gdansk Shipyard strike, he was an ordinary shipyard worker, with only a vocational school education. Yet he sparked the movement that brought down the Iron Curtain—and he rose to serve as president of Poland from 1990 to 1995. Looking back over those achievements, he reflected, "Power is only important as an instrument for service to the powerless."
Great leaders inspire and motivate; they do not terrorize and intimidate. They use their power for the people, not against them. That's why great leaders are so rare. Those who have the greatest skill at acquiring power do not always have the temperament and values for using power wisely and compassionately. Power chasers tend to be power abusers — and people abusers. A great leader uses power to serve the powerless, not to serve himself.
