"Absolutely the worst customer service I have ever dealt with. I ordered 2 books from them and paid for over night shipping because their website advertised the books would be here in time for mother's day if that shipping option was selected. Just got off the phone with them (for the 3rd time) and the book not only will not be here in time but they have been rude the entire time about it and will do nothing to speed it up or refund my extra shipping costs. When I tried using the online 'chat' for customer service I was basically hung up on. I have printed almost 10 books now through http://Blurb.com and http://shutterfly.com and never had a problem like this with either of them before. I will definitely be going back and never, ever using http://Mypublisher.com again!!"
"I began to create a photo book and went through the last steps of purchasing. The software was having issues processing my book and I was told multiple times, via My Publisher Chat, that I would not be charged until the book had shipped. Meanwhile I decide not to purchase my book due to the hassle of the program and transactions were not verified nor did I get an email saying I bought the book. A day later I check my bank statement and I see that My Publisher charged me 3 times! I called and expressed my thoughts to a customer "support" agent named Kamaldeep K. After explaining my concerns about the security of my billing information he literally laughed and treated my situation like it wasn't a big deal. After 30 minutes of convincing him why I needed a refund, he finally did so. I then decided that once I got my refund, I would let the problem go.... until I saw my bank statement a week later. Yet ANOTHER transaction to My Publisher and again, NO EMAIL verifying the transaction. I just got off the phone with another agent and she claims to have my money returned. My Publisher is not a trustworthy company and a waste of time. End of story. "
"Don't do it. Don't buy from MyPublisher. There are plenty of great options out there for photo printing that are above board and honor their customers requested to stop spamming them. My main complaint with MyPublisher is that they send advertising emails to me all the time and I can't get them to stop. Have unsubscribed online over 15 times, have called them and they said they would stop emailing me, have live chatted and they said they would stop emailing me, have emailed the help desk... and they keep spamming me. Boo, I say, Boo!"
"I wish I had thought to read online reviews before I got involved with MyPublisher!My problems began 3 weeks ago when I ordered the latest edition of a book I made about 2 years ago. MyPublisher had printed this same book for me 3 times in the past 2 years and the quality was really good overall. Each time I printed a new edition of the book, I added a few more pages to what I already had. Three weeks ago I did the same thing – added a few more pages to the same book I started 2 years before and had printed 3 times before, then I uploaded my new edition to MyPublisher. When I received the 10 copies back (at the cost of nearly $300!) I was dismayed to find that all of the pictures in the book – both the prior ones and the few new ones added to the current edition – were printed so dark as to render the book useless. The pictures where not a little dark, they were very dark and reddish.
These things happen and I thought that all I needed to do was call MyPublisher, explain the situation and they will simply reprint the books correctly and rush them to me. That is not at all how it went.
After not being able to reach them by phone, I decided to send an email to customer service explaining my issue. The reply I got back was pretty straightforward in its message: Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately we are not responsible for the design of your book and we never alter customer designs before printing them. If you don't like your book, too bad.
I thought surely they must have misunderstood my explanation, especially the part that explains that the book is exactly the same book with the same exact pictures they have printed correctly 3 times before, with just a few new pages added. Surely something went wrong with the physical printing to make ALL the pictures come out consistently dark, some being almost totally black. I wrote back and got the same response: We are a young and dynamic company; we do great work and value your input and will strive to do better for our customers. As for you, though, your book is bad because you screwed up the design. We are not responsible so no reprint and absolutely no refund.
At this point I got mad. The next 2 weeks turned into a daily back-and-forth series of increasingly angry emails – me asking for my money back and MyPublisher standing firm to their intent to make me go away. I called American Express and explained the situation to them; they put my payment on hold and contacted MyPublisher.
This review will get way too long if I wrote the extent of my horrible experience and communications with this company. I did get to the point where I was copying every email address of individuals at the company to make sure more people, not just customer service and the returns department where aware of my situation. I believe the CEO's email address is firstname.lastname@example.com. I was guessing at the email addresses based on the email address of my primary contact (firstname.lastname@example.com). In the end, likely because of American Express getting involved, I received an offer to reprint the 10 books free of charge – but I had to lighten all of the pictures; I refused on the grounds that the pictures are fine as they have printed the exact same pictures correctly 3 times before. Besides, I'm sure they would have blamed me when the reprints came out way too light! The following day, 3 weeks after this began, I abruptly got a full refund.
I am at a loss to understand how a company that must do a lot of business can be this bad to a customer and risk their reputation for less than $300 retail -- in this age of online reviews that never go away. Never again!
"Avoid at all cost. Finished layout the books, previewed it, and photos were all good, and submitted. However, website sent me a proof of what was about to be printed, some of the pictures were cut off. This happened twice. Their app was a headache to use.
The company needs to work on their in house software and execution. Also, their fee schedule is a bit ridiculous. "
"I was hesitant to place the order based on reviews I read but, after spending 2 weeks setting it up, I had to take a chance. The product was beautiful, a coupon gave me 2-for-1, I ordered on the 13th of the month and received the completed book on the 19th without having to pay for expedited shipping! This experience dispelled all of the bad reviews and I couldn't have been more pleased!!!! I don't have any upcoming special events but, next time I do, I would DEFINATELY use My Publisher!!!!!"
"I will be brief and add one more unsatisifed customer. My photobook had pages from someone elses order and it took nearly a month after my original complaint to their customer service department for them to give me a code to reorder the book and hope it comes out better. During that month I had to call them continuously to move it around to the right people within the company and eventually get it flagged for faster service. After that it still took 4 days to issue a code (not refund) for a new book. All along the way I was frequently told that it would be handled "right away" or that they would "personally" see that the issue was resolved. That never seemed to happen.
Because they make you use their software, it is impossbile to use a different ventor to print the book you spend so much time making if you are unsatisfied. It seems like they know this and that is why all their efforts are put into gaining new customers with promo codes, but lacking in customer service once they recieve payment. My advice, do NOT use mypublisher on anything important that you need quality results."
"Beware!!! I placed an order and it was supposed to arrive 6-8 business days and it was a lie!!! It took them 10 days to deliver a package. It was an anniversary gift for my fiancé and we had a trip planned so when the package finally arrived we were already on the plane. The most unreliable company and I'm highly upset If you making a gift for a special date avoid this company because they will ruin it!! Never again I will use their services"
"I have ordered from them before with no issues. Two orders were placed 1 day apart. One received as promised. The other (placed 12/11) didn't come in. Called on 12/18 and waited for 2hrs and 18 mins for status. They misplaced the order so they reordered on 12/19, received 12/27. This order was useless to me. Called 12/27 to see if I could get a credit and said a response would be given within 48 hours. I called again 1/3 to check on the status and if I want a refund, I have to send back. Excuse me??!!! You lost my order why do I have to go the extra step to get a refund??!! I asked for a credit, at least they would get one more order out of me, but they wouldn't issue a credit. I will NEVER do business with them again. If you want excellent customer service and timely responses, don't go to Mypublisher.com!! Go to another deserving organization because Mypublisher doesn't deserve your business!!!"
"I've been using MyPublisher for 6 years. The software has been slowly improving but, as others here have noted, still has issues. Although the layout options are broadening, they're still not as customizable as they frankly should be. The application froze on me countless times this last time, forcing me to restart it. It froze again (3 times) when I tried to complete my purchase. Not great.
But my greatest reservation (and the reason I will be using Mixbook from now on) is the terrible customer service. You need to wait 48 hours to get a curt and unhelpful 2 sentence reply from someone who spells your first name wrong. The tone of the two responses I received was so cold and dismissive that I immediately regretted having ordered so many books from this company in the past. The product is not nearly good enough to make up for the poor customer service. Sorry. "
"I had the worst experience ever using mypublisher.com
I have to recognice that I didn´t read the reviews before purchasing. Nevertheless, they messed up the photos in 2 out of 3 of the albums I ordered. They never answered my emails and I spent between 60 and 90 mins waiting for a customer representative to answer my phonecall.
Please don´t make business with them. By the way, all the positive reviews are made by their employees. You can tell how they spell MyPublisher.com and the same selling speech on the reviews."
"I order 4 calendars from mypublisher. 3 were the same calendar in two different sizes and the 3rd was a completely different calendar. The software I thought was very easy to use, I could use multiple backgrounds, uploading was easy. I love the quality of the calendar also. I placed my order on December 10th, 2012 and received the calendars in one week, it was amazing. I did use an on line coupon for a discount. I was absolutely 100% satisfied. "
"Add me to the list of dissatisfied former customers. I do like the product but have found that I have suspicions about customer service like many others have mentioned. Things do not always get handled correctly and MyPub does not come through when this is the case. My original inquiry was made on Monday, Dec. 17th at approx 3pm and I am writing this on Friday,Dec. 21st at approx 1pm. I can't make contact by phone, email or chat. My emails get me a "noreply..." response that guarantee a response in a maximum of 48 hours. The problem here is that I rec'd 2 of these responses 12 hours apart and with the passing of both 48 hour time limits my next attempt was met with another message with the same guarantee. The book has several occurances of the same page background mistake and, as directed by MyPub, a photo example of the defect was supplied with the email I sent them. I just hung up after waiting for 45mins (this is my second attempt to phone) this time. Does anyone know how to complain to the ISP for this company that there may be some fraud happening here? I hope they will resolve this correctly and restore my faith but I will begin looking into other options."
"My money has been pending the past few days in my account.I received an email that was sent out to "undisclosed recipients."I called and called and waiting 30 plus minutes (waiting 32 min and counting currently) to get a hold of someone!The only reason I'm still holding on is because I spent HOURS on the book and to have no idea what is going on, is upsetting.The first time I created the book there was an error so I redid it and the error occurred again.I got charged twice!Without any apologies they eventually took the charges away.This time, no error, but no word!What is going on? ANY RECOMMENDATIONS ON A PLACE THAT CREATES BOOK??!!"
I have used My publisher a couple of times in the past, so had learnt to use the software and had been happy enough with the results. When they sent me an email offering free extra pages just before Christmas, this was an opportunity too good to miss with a recent holiday just waiting to be put into the album. I spent a couple of days creating the album and then went to the checkout and applied the discount code - it didn't work. I read the terms and conditions and could find nothing to exclude me from the offer. In the meantime, I had 2 or 3 follow up emails telling me to put my order in quickly as the offer was finishing soon and counting down the days.
I contacted Customer Services and they did eventually reply with a wishy washy answer, but basically because I had made my first order through Costco, it would appear that no more discounts would apply. I replied saying that I did not expect an additional discount but that as they had sent several emails with this offer of free pages, they should at least honour their promise. They wouldn't budge. I think they assumed that having spent a considerable amount of time making up the book I would go ahead anyway but they don't know me. I don't deal with unprofessional and dubious companies and never will again."

As with most all types of cleaning chemicals these days, many carpet cleaning chemicals are now available that have a reduced impact on human health, the environment and building users, whether in a residence or commercial facility.
Having such products available is fortunate because there are published studies dating back to 1982* that have found a correlation — in rare cases — between just-cleaned carpets (typically using the extraction method), the chemicals used to clean them and respiratory problems such as coughing, sneezing and even asthma attacks.
When chemicals have the possibility of causing these kinds of reactions to occur, they are referred to as "chemical irritants." Sometimes these irritants cause reactions during or shortly after the carpets have been cleaned. In other situations, it may take a day or two, even a week or longer, before facility users have a health reaction.
The possibility of such reactions occurring is a problem for carpet cleaning technicians because, very simply, when taking on a new job, they never know what they are walking into. For instance, in one day they may clean several homes — all with children, all relatively similar in size with comparative soiling — cleaning the carpets using the same chemicals, equipment and methods, with no unfortunate after effects... except in one household. In this one case, members of the family began having a respiratory reaction almost as soon as the carpets were done being cleaned.
While the odds of a negative reaction are small, obviously no technician wants any client to become ill or have any reaction — except a happy one — after he or she has cleaned the client's carpets. The following are steps technicians can take to help protect the health of all clients when it comes to the chemicals used to clean carpets:
Probably the best advice I have to offer is to expect the unexpected. Working with an astute distributor, make sure you have as part of your chemical arsenal those chemicals that have the least impact on the environment. Doing so can help save the job and keep your customers healthy as well.

It's been a while since I have had poutine. Even longer since I have had poutine this good. The fries were fantastic, though I used too much oil. (Hence the oil speech there at number 5) Basically we had too much oil and would have been just as well to deep fry the potatoes. So if you're trying to at least slightly health-i-fy this recipe, yeah, watch the oil.
The husband and I were very naughty and had this as an entire meal. But it will do nicely for a spectacular side to something a little more on the light end of the food spectrum. A salad and/or fish would be a good accompaniment. Or serve this up in tiny plates for a great appetizer before the main course.

academic preparation.
Most courses in Arts and Sciences can serve as an occasion to develop the skills essential to success in law school and beyond, some of the following might be particularly useful: SPCH 1120 (Argumentation and Debate), SPCH 3120 (Persuasive Speaking), PHIL 1210 (Critical Reasoning), PHIL 2010 (Symbolic Logic), PSCI 1100 (Introduction to American National Government), PSCI 3170 (Interest Groups), ECON 2200 (Microeconomics), ECON 2220 (Macroeconomics), and ENGL 2400 (Advanced Composition).
And while a wide variety of courses, particularly in the social sciences and humanities, will make reference to legal concepts and arguments, the following may be mentioned for the specificity of their concern with such issues:
PSCI 4170 (Constitutional Law: Foundations), PSCI 4180 (Constitutional Law: The Federal System), PSCI 4190 (Constitutional Law: Civil Liberties), PSCI 4050 (The Judicial Process), PHIL 1020 (Contemporary Moral Problems), PHIL 3040 (Philosophy of Law), HIST 4330 (U.S. Constitutional History to 1860), HIST 4340 (U.S. Constitutional History since 1860), HIST 4600 (Anglo-American Legal History), BLST 1220 (Law in the Black Community), JOUR 4410 (Communications Law), JOUR 4420 (Theories of the First Amendment: Free Speech and Press), GEOG 4820/BIOL 4820 (Introduction to Environmental Law and Regulation), and SOC 4500 (Law, Family, and Public Policy).
Undergraduate courses primarily concerned with the law are not a necessary preparation for law school, nor do they necessarily render one better prepared for law school than another student who has taken no such courses. Such courses might be useful, however, to those students who are unsure of the solidity their interest in law school or, on the other hand, those who are certain of their interest and who already have a sense of the particular field of law in which they are primarily interested. Generally, the pre-law student's program of study should provide a balanced set of courses from the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities that challenge the student to develop keen analytical skills and clarity and persuasiveness in a variety of forms of written and oral communication.

Ludwig von Mises argued in a famous 1920 article "Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth" that the pricing systems in socialist economies were necessarily deficient because if government owned the means of production, then no prices could be obtained for capital goods as they were merely internal transfers of goods in a socialist system and not "objects of exchange," unlike final goods. Therefore, they were unpriced and hence the system would be necessarily inefficient since the central planners would not know how to allocate the available resources efficiently. This led him to declare "...that rational economic activity is impossible in a socialist commonwealth.". Mises developed his critique of socialism more completely in his 1922 book Socialism, an Economic and Sociological Analysis.
Money, as a means of exchange, allows many different goods to be analysed in terms of their cost in a very easy way; the cheaper good is a more desirable one to use. This is the signalling function of prices, and the rationing function prevents over-use of any resource.
Without money to facilitate easy comparisons, socialism lacks any way to compare different goods and services. Decisions made will therefore be largely arbitrary and without sufficient knowledge, often on the whim of bureaucrats.
Marginal consumer expenditures represent the marginal utility or additional consumer satisfaction expected by consumers as they spend money. This is similar to the equi-marginal principle developed by Alfred Marshall. Consumers equalize the marginal utility (amount of satisfaction) of the last dollar spent on each good. So the exchange of consumer goods establishes prices that represent the marginal utility of consumers, and money therefore is representative of consumer satisfaction.
If money is also spent on capital goods and labor, then it is possible to make comparisons between capital goods and consumer goods. The exchange of consumer and capital/labor goods does not imply that capital goods are valued accurately, only that it is possible for the valuations of capital goods to be made.
These first elements of the Calculation Critique of Socialism are the most basic element: economic calculation requires the use of money across all goods. This is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for successful economic calculation.
Without a price mechanism, socialism lacks the means to relate consumer satisfaction to economic activity, it is argued. The incentive function of prices allows diffuse interests, like the interests of every household in cheap, high quality, shoes, to compete with the concentrated interests of the cobblers in expensive, poor quality shoes. Without it, a panel of experts set up to 'rationalise production', likely closely linked to the cobblers for expertise, would tend to support the cobblers interests in a 'conspiracy against the public'. If this happens to all industries however, everyone would be worse off than if they had been subject to the rigours of competition (economics)
The von Mises theory of money and calculation conflicts directly with Marxist labour theory of value. Marxist theory allows for the possibility that Labour content can serve as a common means of valuing capital goods, a position now out of favour with economists following the success of the theory of marginal utility.
The third condition for economic calculation is the existence of genuine entrepreneurship and market rivalry.
According to Kirzner (1973) and Lavoie (1985) entrepreneurs reap profits by supplying unfulfilled needs in markets. Entrepreneurship therefore brings prices closer to marginal costs. The adjustment of prices in markets towards 'equilibrium' (where supply and demand equal) gives them greater utilitarian significance. The activities of entrepreneurs make prices more accurate in terms of how they represent the marginal utility of consumers. Prices act as guides to the planning of production. Those who plan production use prices to decide which lines of production should be expanded or curtailed.
Entrepreneurs lack the profit motive to take risks under socialism, and so are far less likely to attempt to supply consumers demands. Without the price system to match consumer utility to incentives for production, or even indicate those utilities "without providing incentives", state planners are much less likely to invest in new ideas to satisfy consumer's desires.
Within capitalism, the overall plan for production is composed of individual plans from capitalists in large and small enterprises. Since capitalists purchase labour and capital out of the same common pool of available but scarce labor and capital, it is essential that their plans fit together in at least a semi-coherent fashion. Hayek (1937) defined an efficient planning process as one where all decision makers form plans that contain relevant data from the plans from others. Entrepreneurs acquire data on the plans from others through the price system. The price system is an indispensable communications network for plan coordination among entrepreneurs. Increases and decreases in prices inform entrepreneurs about the general economic situation, to which they must adjust their own plans.
As for socialism, Mises (1944) and Hayek (1937) insisted that bureaucrats in individual ministries could never coordinate their plans, not without a price system. If decentralized socialism cannot work, central authorities must plan production. But central planners face the knowledge problem in forming a comprehensive plan for production. Mises and Hayek saw centralization as inevitable in socialism.
Opponents argued that in principle an economy can be seen as a set of equations. Thus, there should be no need for prices. Using information about available resources and the preferences of people, it should be possible to calculate an optimal solution for resource allocation. Friedrich von Hayek responded that the system of equations required too much information that would not be easily available and the ensuing calculations would be too difficult. This is partly due to the fact that individuals possess useful knowledge but do not realise its importance, or may have no incentive to transmit the information. He contended that the only rational solution is to utilize all the dispersed knowledge in the market place through the use of price signals. The early debates were made before the much greater calculating powers of modern computers became available but also before research on chaos theory. In the 1980s, Alex Nove argued that even with the best computers, the calculations would take millions of years
It may be impossible to make long-term predictions for a highly complex system such as an economy.
Hayek (1935, 1937, 1940, 1945) stressed the knowledge problem of central planning, partly because decentralized socialism seemed indefensible. Part of the reason that Hayek stressed the knowledge problem was also because he was mainly concerned with debating the proposal for Market Socialism and the Lange Model by Oscar Lange (1938) and Hayek's student Abba Lerner (1934, 1937, 1938), which was developed in response to the calculation argument. Lange and Lerner conceded that prices were necessary in socialism. Lange and Lerner thought that socialist officials could simulate some markets (mainly spot markets) and the simulation of spot markets was enough to make socialism reasonably efficient. Oskar Lange argued that prices can be seen merely as an accounting practice. In principle, claim market socialists, socialist managers of state enterprises could use a price system, as an accounting system, in order to minimize costs and convey information to other managers. However, while this can deal with existing stocks of goods, providing a basis for values can be ascertained, it does not deal with the investment in new capital stocks.
Hayek responded by arguing that the simulation of markets in socialism would fail due to a lack of genuine competition and entrepreneurship. Central planners would still have to plan production without the aid of economically meaningful prices. Lange and Lerner also admitted that socialism would lack any simulation of financial markets, and that this would cause problems in planning capital investment.
Hayek's argumentation is not only regarding computational complexity for the central planners, however. He further argues that much of the information individuals have cannot be collected or used by others. First, individuals may have no or little incentive to share their information with central or even local planners. Second, the individual may not be aware that he has valuable information, and when he becomes aware, it is only useful for a limited time, too short for it to be communicated to the central or local planners. Third, the information is useless to other individuals if it is not in a form that allows for meaningful comparisons of value (i.e. money prices as a common basis for comparison). Therefore, Hayek argues, individuals must acquire data through prices in real markets.
Capitalists plan production for profit. Capitalists use prices to form expectations that determine the composition of capital accumulation, the pattern of investment across industry. Those who invest in accordance with consumers desires are rewarded with profits, those who do not are forced to become more efficient or go out of business.
Prices in futures markets play a special role in economic calculation. Futures markets develop prices for commodities in future time periods. It is in futures markets that entrepreneurs sort out plans for production based on their expectations. Futures markets are a link between entrepreneurial investment decisions and household consumer decisions. Since most goods are not explicitly traded in futures markets, substitute markets are needed. The stock market serves as a 'continuous futures market' that evaluates entrepreneurial plans for production (Lachmann 1978). Generally speaking the problem of economic calculation is solved in financial markets.
The problem of economic calculation arises in an economy which is perpetually subject to change ... In order to solve such problems it is above all necessary that capital be withdrawn from particular undertakings and applied in other lines of production ... [This] is essentially a matter of the capitalists who buy and sell stocks and shares, who make loans and recover them, who speculate in all kinds of commodities" Mises
The existence of financial markets is a necessary condition for economic calculation. The existence of financial markets itself does not automatically imply that entrepreneurial speculation will tend towards efficiency. Mises claimed that speculation in financial markets tends towards efficiency because of a "trial and error" process. Entrepreneurs who commit relatively large errors in investment waste their funds over expanding some lines of production at the cost of other more profitable ventures where consumer demand is higher. The entrepreneurs who commit the worst errors by forming the least accurate expectations of future consumer demands incur financial losses. Financial losses remove these inept entrepreneurs from positions of authority in industry.
Entrepreneurs who commit smaller errors by anticipating consumer demand more correctly attain greater financial success. The entrepreneurs who form the most accurate opinions regarding the future state of markets (i.e. new trends in consumer demands) earn the highest profits and gain greater control of industry. Those entrepreneurs who anticipate future market trends therefore waste the least amount of real capital and find the most favorable terms for finance on markets for financial capital. Minimal waste of real capital goods implies the minimization of the opportunity costs of capital- economic calculation. The value of capital goods is brought into line with the value of future consumer goods through competition in financial markets, because competition for profits among capitalists financiers rewards entrepreneurs who value capital more correctly (i.e. anticipating future prices more correctly) and eliminates capitalists who value capital least correctly.
To sum things up, the use of money in trading all goods (capital/labor and consumer) in all markets (spot and financial) combined with profit driven entrepreneurship and Darwinian natural selection in financial markets all combine to make rational economic calculation and allocation the outcome of the capitalist process.
Mises insisted that socialist calculation is impossible because socialism precludes the exchange of capital goods in terms of a generally accepted medium of exchange, or money. Investment in financial markets determines the capital structure of modern industry with some degree of efficiency. The egalitarian nature of socialism prohibits speculation in financial markets. Mises therefore concluded that socialism lacks any clear tendency towards improvement in the capital structure of industry.
It will be evident, even in the socialist society, that 1,000 hectolitres of wine are better than 800, and it is not difficult to decide whether it desires 1,000 hectolitres of wine rather than 500 of oil. There is no need for any system of calculation to establish this fact: the deciding element is the will of the economic subjects involved. But once this decision has been taken, the real task of rational economic direction only commences, i.e. economically, to place the means at the service of the end. That can only be done with some kind of economic calculation. The human mind cannot orientate itself properly among the bewildering mass of intermediate products and potentialities of production without such aid. It would simply stand perplexed before the problems of management and location.
Such intermediate products would include land, warehouse storage, bottles, barrels, oil, transport, etc. Not only would these things have to be assembled, but they would have to compete with the attainment of other economic goals. Without pricing for capital goods, essentially, Mises is arguing, it is impossible to know what their rational/most efficient use is. Investment is particularly impossible, as the potential future outputs, which cannot be measured by any current standard, let alone a monetary one required for economic calculation. The value consumers have for current consumption over future consumption cannot be expressed, quantified or implemented, as investment is independent from savings.
Hayek, in The Road to Serfdom, also argues that the central administrative resource allocation, which often must take away resources and power from subordinate leader and groups, necessarily requires and therefore selects ruthless leaders and the continued strong threat of coercion and punishment in order for the plans to be somewhat effectively implemented. This, in combination of the failures of the central planning, slowly leads socialism down the road to an oppressive dictatorship.
One criticism, though, has been that proponents of the problem overstate the strength of their case, in describing socialism as impossible, rather than inefficient.
Bryan Caplan is a mainstream economist and wrote a piece explaining why he 'is not an Austrian economist'. In it, he discusses the economic calculation debate, and, while admitting that it is a problem for socialism, denies that Mises has shown it to be fatal, or that it is this particular problem that lead to the collapse of the socialist states.
Austrians have overused the economic calculation argument. In the absence of detailed empirical evidence showing that this particular problem is the most important one, it is just another argument out of hundreds on the list of arguments against socialism. How do we know that the problem of work effort, or innovation, or the underground economy, or any number of other problems were not more important than the calculation problem?
An Austrian response to this claim is that most national attempts at socialism have relied upon capitalist markets, foreign and domestic, to determine the socialist system's accounting prices, observe successful innovations, and even import and export goods. Domestic black markets and gift-systems such as the Soviet's blat would expose socialism to market calculations. Global socialism, completely reliant upon central planning, would not have such methods to make socialism in tune with capitalist successes.
Mainstream economists, such as Paul Samuelson have argued however that markets are, on the whole, allocatively efficient.
Joan Robinson claims many prices in modern capitalism are effectively "administered prices" created by "quasi monopolies", thus challenging the connection between capital markets and rational resource allocation.
Milton Friedman agreed that markets with monopolistic competition are not efficient. However, in countries with free trade the pressure from foreign competition makes monopolies behave in a competitive manner. In countries with protectionist policies foreign competition cannot fulfill this role, but the threat of potential competition- that, were companies to abuse their position, new rivals could emerge and gain customers dissatisfied with the old companies, can still reduce the inefficiencies.
It is argued, however, that monopolies and big business are not generally the result of a free market, but government privileges, otherwise known as state capitalism, which Mises and other Austrians argued adamantly against. State capitalism incorporates central planning into a national economy, which removes power from individual calculation and moves it towards bureaucrats and politicians, similarly to socialism.
Alternatively, Joseph Schumpeter argued that it is large firms that drive economic advance though innovation and investment, and so their proliferation shouldn't be seen as a bad thing: they are the Unternehmergeist that drive advance.
Socialists retort that natural monopolies and strict oligopolies even in a free market disprove the Austrian argument.
It has also been claimed that the contention that finding a true economic equilibrium is not just hard but impossible for a central planner applies equally well to a market system; As any Universal Turing Machine can do what any other Turing machine can, a system of dispersed calculators (i.e. a market) has no in principle advantage over one central calculator.
Some writers have gone on to suggest that with detailed use of real unit accounting and demand surveys a planned economy could operate without a capital market, in a situation of abundance, The purpose of the price mechanism is to allow individuals to recognise the opportunity cost of decisions: in a state of abundance, there is no such cost.
Robinson also noted that in a non-growth economy (what Marxists would call a situation of simple reproduction) there would be an effective abundance of means of production, and so markets would not be needed. Von Mises acknowledged such a theoretical possibility in his original tract:
The static state can dispense with economic calculation. For here the same events in economic life are ever recurring; and if we assume that the first disposition of the static socialist economy follows on the basis of the final state of the competitive economy, we might at all events conceive of a socialist production system which is rationally controlled from an economic point of view.He contended, however, that stationary conditions never prevail in the real world. Changes in economic conditions are inevitable; and even if it were, the transition to socialism would be so chaotic as to preclude the existence of such a steady state from the start.

Beaches are sandy, wet, and not conducive to walking.
I'm an acquired taste: laid back, loyal, trusting, but not bubbly or chatty. I'm somewhat nerdy and pretty darn introverted. That said, I'm up for adventure and love to travel. I've been to ten countries and 46 states. My favorite places in the world are Maui, Venice, Lisbon, Tiberius, Edinburgh, and Cape Cod, to name a few. But nothing compares to the Central Texas hill country in March. I just moved to Atlanta after getting my MFA in Design and Technical Production for Theatre. That means I build sets (which is why I don't work out.) I'm looking to settle here for the immediate future and get involved in the community. Finding someone to share in my adventures is the next step. I'm looking for someone who's encouraging, fun, and doesn't like to take things at face value. I prefer honesty to politeness. Faith and education are important to me. Putting myself on display is scary, so I'd appreciate it if you email me if you want to know more.

Washington Redskins quarterback Red Grossman ready for Sunday start
Grossman in his third year in the current Redskins offensive system — he learned it in Houston before coming to Washington last year — and the quick-flow, keep-it-moving tempo suits him. He also got to run it on the field in the final three games last season after Donovan McNabb was benched.
But, overall, Grossman said he's better just from his years of experience, and that should cut down on the turnovers.
"The game's slowed down a lot," the 31-year-old quarterback said. "As a younger quarterback you kind of see everything. And as a veteran, you see what you need to see."
Beck received effusive praise from Shanahan during the offseason despite having played his only regular games in 2007, when he had late-season mop-up starts as a rookie with the Miami Dolphins. He couldn't have asked for a better chance to win a job, but he couldn't separate himself from Grossman. The two were close statistically until Beck's lackluster performance in the final preseason game, but Beck said he didn't think his few missed throws in that half of football made the difference.
Beck said he's putting together a game plan with Shanahan to come up with ways to improve during the season and be ready if called upon. Grossman will get nearly all of the first-team snaps during practices, while Beck will run the scout team and continue to come in on his days off for extra work.
"I've been trying to climb the mountain ever since I got into this league, and I know there's going to be obstacles, there's going to be times that you slip and fall," Beck said. "But I never look at them as 'I'm down and out.' I look at them as, 'That's an obstacle. I'm getting over it.'"
One thing that kept Beck from expressing any bitterness: He and Grossman both felt the competition was fair.
"There's been times in the past (with other teams) where you can't quite trust what they're actually saying," Grossman said. "But I have a pretty good relationship with (offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan), and Mike's a standup guy, so I took them at their word and I trusted it."
Notes: S LaRon Landry (hamstring) did not practice and said he doesn't expect to play Sunday. TE Chris Cooley (knee), KR Brandon Banks (knee), WR Donte' Stallworth (shoulder) and RB Ryan Torain (hand) were limited. ... DE Jarvis Jenkins had surgery on the torn ACL in his right knee and will have 4-to-6 months of rehab. ... Players had to drive to a gym for practice because of heavy rains. The Redskins are building an indoor practice facility, but it's not expected to be ready until November.

Barry Zubrow : Courses and Seminars
Complex Financial Institutions the conundrum of "too big to fail?"
This seminar will examine how the financial crisis ignited the debate about whether global systemically important financial institutions are "too big to fail"; how current and proposed regulations in the US and EU have sought to address these issues; and what are the implications for the economy and capital formation from having different approaches. Class will be assessed by short papers in the form of blog postings, class participation, and a final research paper. This class does not count towards the seminars/simulations limit.

BEIRUT: This year Valentine's Day stinks – of herbal scrubs, scented candles and aromatherapy oils. In addition to the classic Valentine's weekend packages incorporating sensual dining, sappy decorations and a late morning-after checkout time, Lebanon's luxury hotels have added a range of spa offerings to their menus this February.
Whether you want to pamper your partner, indulge in some relaxing quality time together, or reassemble him or her after a grueling January of bad weather and stress at the office, Beirut's top hotels have a Valentine's Day package to fit the bill.
For the second year in a row, the PureGrey Health Club and Spa at Le Grey in Downtown has put the "Couple's Love Escape" on its menu. At $200, receptionist Farah Bou Chaaya describes it as a "very nice package" and says "people really like it."
Following a side-by-side holistic massage, couples, who can't bear to be parted, enjoy a round of champagne and indulge in chocolate fondue.
Also on the PureGrey promotion list this month is the "Man in Love," an increasingly popular package tailored – you guessed it – just for men.
The 120-minute-long session, comprising a gent's facial and a back massage, is on offer year-round, but during February it comes at a reduced rate – $185 as opposed to $205.
Bou Chaaya says that while it is still more common for women to buy such treatments as gifts for their partners, men do sometimes come of their own volition in search of pampering, and this is the package the spa recommends.
For men seeking to spoil their ladies, there is any number of luscious, indulgent packages, but for the spa-illiterate an easy-out is the "Sweetheart" – a honey scrub, a massage and an express facial – at $195.
Bou Chaaya also notes that gift vouchers for spa packages purchased in February are valid for six months.
The Four Seasons Beirut has also joined the couple's spa-therapy fray, just recently having added a "Side by Side" package to its menu.
Now, as a cozy twosome, you can enjoy a full-body exfoliation and a detoxifying bath therapy (vanilla for her, organic tea for him) followed by a full-body Western Touch massage, which is topped off with the spa's Stop & Relax facial.
This whole lavish affair lasts two and a half hours, but such quality time doesn't come cheap: Being scrubbed and rubbed in the neighborhood of your loved one at the Four Seasons will set you back no less than $575.
More bang for your buck, and, let's face it, most probably more bang in general, is on offer if you upgrade to the Valentine's weekend package.
Along with the two and a half glorious spa hours, this deal offers two nights accommodation in a sea-view room, breakfast in bed and a four-course evening meal replete with "fresh shucked oysters" and champagne – although, at $1,608 plus tax, it's still a pricey affair.
As at the Four Seasons, Le Grey boasts an overnight package, which, like its couple's massage, is called the Love Escape. One night in an executive suite, suitably decorated for the occasion, with breakfast and 30 minutes of spa treatment per person costs $360 plus 10 percent tax.
Unlike at the Four Seasons, dinner is extra, but for lovebirds in quest of a suitably mushy meal, romantic fare is served from Feb. 13-16 at the hotel's Indigo on the Rooftop restaurant, accompanied by live entertainment and finished off with a "special cake."
Of course, the Valentine's dining formula at Le Grey is mirrored at restaurants throughout the city.
At the Phoenicia red petals and candles will adorn tabletops across the establishment while set menus vary in its assorted eateries.
Couples who want to go all in can pay $280 for a four-course feast washed down with champagne and an open premium bar at Eau de Vie; those convinced of the aphrodisiac power of sushi may prefer Wok Wok's $160 buffet deal with open regular bar; and for those who only want cake (complemented by bubbly, of course) there's the $80 package at Cascade. All prices are per couple.
Unsurprisingly, The Phoenicia is also on the spa-for-two bandwagon.
The 95-minute "Sweet Sensations for Two" (LL400,000 including VAT) comprises a relaxing body massage for both parties, a manicure for her, a pedicure for him, and culminates in a champagne and strawberry climax.
This landmark Beirut hotel, outside which former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri was tragically assassinated on Valentine's Day 2005, also has a number of other interesting spa specials for the occasion.
Chocolates are a Valentine's Day staple, and very few hotels will deprive guests of heart-shaped treats for the occasion, but if you're dealing with a true chocoholic you may want to sweeten the offering.
At The Phoenicia, this is easy: You can slather her (or him, or both of you) in chocolate both outside and in. The "Crazy for You" (LL200,000 per person) spa package involves a chocolate back scrub complemented by a hot chocolate drink. Also included – perhaps to ensure your partner doesn't smell too edible – is an aroma massage with scented candles and hot towels.
Also, if the first six weeks of 2013 have been unkind to your partner, you may want to consider the Phoenicia's "Because I love you" (LL330,000) package.
This two-hour transformative treatment scrubs off dull skin, massages with hot poultices and beautifies with a facial, then tops the rejuvenation off with a healthy lunch at Eau de Vie.
If all this is sounding a bit financially exorbitant, then consider exiting Beirut. Venturing beyond the capital yields more affordable options for those afflicted by spa-lust and seeking a Valentine's weekend away.
Edde Sands Hotel and Wellness Resort offers a courtyard room replete with heart-shaped cake for $298 on the nights of Feb. 13-16 inclusive. The package also includes a candlelit dinner, breakfast and a 30-minute spa treatment each.
However, while the hotel reports that a full-body, side-by-side massage is the spa's most popular offering with couples, this must be booked and paid for separately.
Fear not, for those without any interest in primping and preening their Valentine's Day away this year, there remain spa-free packages.
At the high-end of the spectrum is the Hotel Albergo in Monot, which is offering an overnight stay in a suite decked out in rose petals and candles, with breakfast, champagne and late checkout included. On the night of the Feb. 13 this treat comes in at $400, but on Feb. 14 the offer jumps by more than 50 percent to $634 – although it also expands to include dinner with wine. A "VIP welcome," whatever that's worth to you, is available both nights.
If you're willing to spend Valentine's Day a little closer to nature, costs plummet. An overnight stay inclusive of breakfast and open wine and cheese for two at Nature Land in Bzebdine in the Hammana region starts at just $200. Two nights snuggling at the ski-slope-facing MzaarVille chalets, booked through skileb.com, with wine and cheese for two also included, is on offer from Feb. 15-17 for $480. Skiing for two on either Saturday or Sunday can be added for just $85.

All undergraduate and graduate programs at Cleveland State University must undergo a comprehensive review process every five to seven years. Currently, the program review process entails a units self study, a review by three to four CSU faculty members from cognate disciplines and a review by an expert in the discipline from peer and aspirant institutions.
Taking advantage of the completion of a 5-year review period changes are being made to improve the process. In AY 2010-11, feedback was sought from all chairs who participated in the process. Additional feedback will be sought from the UCC, Graduate College, and college deans. National best practices and the procedures used by our sister schools are also being considered. Reviews being considered include a shorter timeline and a more clearly defined role of reviewers. The review schedule is also being modified so that a given program review will better coincide with the review of affiliated units and with its external accreditation review, If applicable.
Recommendations for revisions to the process will be presented to Faculty Senate for consideration during the spring 2012 semester. Pending faculty approval, implementation of changes, including a new review schedule, will begin during academic year 2012-2013.
Academic Planning will continue to update this page as documents are finalized. Please feel free to contact our office with any questions, or for updates; (687-4700, AC 220).

Sun Aug 11, 2013
The chitter chatter of chipmunks wood peckers woke me around 6. I was comfy in my bag and decided to lay there and finish yesterday's Journal entry I fell asleep in the middle of.
The sun lit the highest top bows of my pine tree signaling it was time to ride.
I packed the gear up and made my way out of the hills and into the fertile Black River Valley.
You know..just Jesus and some deer on an island. No big deal!
Noticing windmills on the distant ridge, I plugged in some random spot in their vicinity and let Garmin route its magic.
I paused to make coffee/oatmeal, recharge my camera battery and get some water in the town of Lowsville at a closed Planned Parenthood.
I filled my camelback next door out back of a Progressive Insurance Agency. How fitting, getting something tangible in return for my monthly payments. I repaired my sunglasses for a third time and headed out of town for the windmills on the hill, my head filled with Don Quixote jokes.
Riding deeper into the woods on ATV and snow machine trails, I had to be careful on foresight terrain lest I drop her in some sandy or muddy tire rut.
Yup, I have some. Thanks for asking.
The few people I passed were on ATV's and returned big hearted waves as I blasted past.
Judging by this snowplow guide, I'd say they get a fair amount of snow up here:
Nice ol Truck
I came to a T where both roads were dead ends and could not decide what Robert Frost would've done...so I turned back for another road less travelled and that made all the difference. Crossing a sturdy bridge, I'm caught by the insects fluttering above the water falling like an August snow from the trees above. Sparrows dive to catch them and a finch alights in the tree beside me with a light "Chirp".
This bridge is new. It is not the first or last bridge to be placed here but spans the river just the same as I. The next four hours were a test of bike, rider and resolve.
I encountered a dead end at every one of the 5 or 6 trails I explored thanks to Garmin. I took camp two, and then camp four, Pedro, Page Ln and some others just to find them gated.
Never a fan of riding the same road twice, I had to enjoy my misfortune, a good life lesson instilled by riding.
Bondo won't help you now...
That hole in the valve cover is intense.
I stop to eat some squished banana, bread and peanut butter. It was the highlight of the hour.
The December Truck Trail, name shoulda gave it away right!?, was by far the worst road I've ever ridden in terms of water hazards. It followed what was once an old logging railroad dipping and sinking into the surrounding ponds and marshes.
This looked like death. I should have turned around when I had the chance!!!
Alone, I became accustomed to cautiously dismounting before the deepest puddles before proceeding.
IN a few case, that was the difference between dumping it on some soft mud or hidden boulders in the pond.
I passed a sign for Alder Creek then a cabin covered in license plates.
(not this cabin but just down the road)
NOTE TO SELF: Carry an old plate in the bike in case I come across another opportunity and place a plate on his house or lose mine.
Another cabin comes into view and I wave as I go past. A middle aged man in the yard returns the wave with a curious smile I can only read as "I know something you don't". Five minutes later I am facing a deep swamp and three trails, the least travelled of which my GPS is directing me down. Thanks GARMIN! I have a talk with Meine Frau and make the decision to turn around. The road could not get better as the most heavily travelled option doesn't even appear on my GPS unit.
(heavily travelled road ahead and very deep stream crossing)
I tell myself I'll stop at that cabin so I do and talk to the old men outside in their 50's or 60's. I carefully remove my broken sunglasses, take off the stinky helmet and in my thickest southern accent say "Damn! I'm lost!" to which they both give a hearty suspicious chuckle. The next 5 minutes represents how solo touring falls to the lowest lows of personal thought and solitude to the explosive dialogue and valuable interaction sharing of ideas and common courtesies. Sitting on Meine Frau, the three of us confirm that 1.) I was lost, 2.)Trespassing on Private Land and 3.) Was harmless. Huzzah. I asked about the area and type of traffic he sees go by and was surprised when he told me they see "a lot of ATV's and many BMW's come through here." This led us to chatting about Google maps and how inaccurate road are all over there with wrong ownership, names and routes for all the city slickers to see. I didn't happen to prepare for this ride so I just found it all on accident. I apologize for unknowingly trespassing and ruining their peace and quiet, a notion their facial expressions scoffed at, I bid farewell and set off to conquer the deep ponds for a second time. You'd think I'd remember my line through each pond but NOPE. Some were whole new unique problems while others, the same random hidden boulder in the muck. Frogs darted right and left as I splashed through their home. Today, I'd hate to be a frog - at least that one!
Soon, I came across a whole family on ATV's. As soon as the father noticed my HID behind, he motioned for the kids (age 8 and 12 I'd guess) to let me pass.
I waved and said "Thanks! Ride Safe" and the elder son replied "You Too!". I gassed outta there in a spray of mud and gravel promptly making a turn to descend to more ponds. They followed but increasingly blended into a single shimmering light in my mirror as the bike excelled. A mile later I came across another couple riding tandem on a SUV taking a leisurely 25mph tour.
I patiently (yeah me! WTF- I know!) sat behind them until they turned right at a side split lane. I raced past them at 45 accelerating to a dangerous 60 mph on the rough rocky dirt. What do I have to prove? Why push my luck? Shit, I do this enough alone that I can see it begins as "Ohhh Look what I can do" but turns into "Yeah, I practice and find that 'edge' so I CAN do this." Of course all this sounds overly confident so I think I should dedicate tomorrow's return trip to this very concept.
I eventually make it back to the tri-cross roads, having explored every option, and disregard my GPS and follow breadcrumbs out of the woods past the windmills off the Great Whetstone Park's Plateau and onto Hwy 22 and 123.
I pass a small ski slope hosting a music festival followed by a small town and a family posting "No Parking - Subject to Tow" signs on each and every telephone poll in front of their house.
The dude with the bags is totally spazzing out.
The next 4 hours I could only describe as back road riding bliss and the dreaded "return trip" feeling I'm trying to learn to appreciate. My route roughly followed NY 26S in a SW direction.
The old fort at Rome
Crossing under the railroad beside the Erie Canal (I wasn't quick enough to snap a good shot of the canal)
Hours of this
The valleys in NY are mostly in a N/S direction so I cruised down many of them on 26 headed down to PA
Late lunch while the Harley riders pay money to drink beer indoors. Kippered Herring (
h14) and some bread round out my meal at a quick gas stop. I need to make up time after my lost hours in the wetlands.
Unique architecture and Victorian styling was haphazardly applied in all sorts of buildings.
US Army Corp of Engineers Dam
I rode deep into PA, gas tank to gas tank, but made a point to stop in Oswego briefly at my Aunt's old High School for a shot I knew she'd get a kick outta. Worth a shot since it looks like they knocked down the old building she likely went to school in.
See the smoke from the steam locomotive? Too cool!
I wound down the Chemung River into Sayre where I crossed into PA and picked up 220S.
It undulated between wide divided highway and two land back road 65mph sweeper fun.
not a great resto but a damn fine Charger 500
The road twisted on until I stopped at a family owned and pet obsessed gas station with a Dog on every sign and at every gas pump. Very strange - they sold live bait too just in case you were interested.
Soon I was on course to Sunbury and crossed to the east bank of the Susquehanna then wound down river on 147 via mostly familiar tree covered roads.
Waiting for a train.
What peaceful joy despite the soft ache in my should ache in my shoulder blades.
The sky to the west grew cloudier and shone red and pink under the cloud layer due to Rayleigh scattering.
The road quickly became PA22, a highway with 18-wheelers and a 55, meaning 65, speed limit.
I kept up with traffic and was reminded the last time I was on a hwy, other than traffic in Montreal, was in PA crossing through Harrisburg.
I made my way to Hwy 15 and set south and west to my evening camp in the Frederick Municipal Forest. A powerful storm cell was fast approaching and I had to keep up my pace to just narrowly avoid getting flogged from above by the wind, lightning and rain.
This bee flew into my face and lodged itself between my broken glasses (see superglue) and face. I snapped a picture first then carefully eased off the road as it buzzed and tickled my face. I carefully removed my sunglasses and flicked the bee out onto the ground where he died. I value bees so much and their role as polinators so it always makes me sad when I kill one. Sorry Mr. Bee.
Fortunately I rode just out of its path into MD then stopped at a convenience store and bought a Yuengling from an Indian shop owner with nose piercings and a cell phone habit. I wonder how she wound up here on Hwy 16 in the shadow of the Catoctin Mountains. Descending into the comforting familiarity of the forest roads, I stop and make camp at the usually spot. The creek is much lower than my first camp here (not last visit though) so I cross the creek on mossy rocks and set up my hammock beside the oft used and well established fire ring. At least if someone stops to inspect the GS, they may not see my hammock suspended 50 feet away in the trees. I make cous cous and tuna then scarf it down in record time along the creek in the dark. This is the first real thing I've had to eat today, other than crackers and snacks, since my Oatmeal in Lowsville this AM. I rinsed my dishes in the flowing creek, grabbed some chocolate liquors and my whisky then set to recording my daily activities written within these pages. Another safe and memorable day with hundreds or two pics to help me remember when I'm old, tired and in a reminiscent mood. Tomorrow...work...but now I'm ready.

The Coalition of Jewish Teens
The Coalition of Jewish Teens, or CJT, was created with the purpose of bringing together Jewish teens from all different youth movements, including BBYO, NCSY, NFTY, USY and Young Judaea. As representatives of the major Jewish youth movements, we are united in taking a stand against bullying everywhere. While each one of us may belong to a different Jewish youth movement, we are connected by our passion and desire to fulfill tikkun olam, our responsibility to repair the world. Together we must create a more inclusive and open Jewish community for today and tomorrow. We urge all Jewish teens, as well as all those who work with Jewish teens and the parents and families of Jewish teens, to take a stand against intolerance.
Bullying Ends With Us
The teen leaders of the world's largest Jewish youth movements come together to put an end to bullying in all forms. This generation will be the last generation to allow bullying within its schools, neighborhoods and community.
Now that you have seen some of your peers pledge to make a difference, will you join with us? Stand with us as we raise awareness about bullying and pledge to speak up and put an end to it.
