Synopses & Reviews
From Powells.com:
Leif Enger's debut novel is a case study in intangibles. Each year, dozens of novels are published that have all their ducks in a row: in richly imagined worlds, their well-drawn characters struggle through compelling conflicts toward revealing conclusions. But very few contain that imperceptible extra that allows a story to speak directly to the reader's own longings, to infiltrate their consciousness and alter their perception of the world. In telling the story of his saintly father, fugitive brother, and precocious sister, Enger's narrator, an eleven-year-old asthmatic named Reuben Land, reveals a world in which the tragic is tempered by the miraculous, and faith leads inexorably to sacrifice — and redemption. When it was first published in 2001, Peace Like a River was immediately championed by readers across the country and became a surprise bestseller. In 2002, it was chosen by independent booksellers as the Book Sense Book of the Year, and remains, today, one of the most popular book club selections in the country. Martin, Powells.com
Publisher Comments:
Leif Enger's rhapsodic novel about a father raising his three children in 1960s Minnesota is a breathtaking celebration of family, faith, and America's pioneering spirit. Through the voice of eleven-year-old Reuben, an asthmatic boy obsessed with cowboy stories, Peace Like a River tells of the Land family's cross-country search for Reuben's outlaw older brother, who has been controversially charged with murder. Sprinkled with playful and warmhearted nods to biblical tales, classic American novels such as Huckleberry Finn, the adventure stories of Robert Louis Stevenson, and the Westerns of Zane Grey, Peace Like a River brilliantly incorporates the best elements of all these genres and ultimately earns its own prominent and enduring place on the shelf among them.
Reuben Land was born with no air in his lungs, and it was only when his father, Jeremiah, picked him up and commanded him to breathe that his lungs filled. Reuben struggles with debilitating asthma thenceforth, but he is a boy who knows firsthand that life is a gift, and also one who suspects that his father can overturn the laws of nature. When Reuben's older brother, Davy, kills two marauders who have come to harm the family, the town is divided between those who see him as a hero and those who see him as a cold-blooded murderer. On the morning of the trial, Davy escapes from his cell, and when his family finds out they decide to go forth into the unknown in search of him. With Jeremiah whose faith is the stuff of legend at the helm, the family covers territory far more glorious than even the Badlands, where they search for Davy from their Airstream trailer. By the time the journey is over, they will have traversed boundaries of a different nature entirely. Marked by a soul-expanding sense of place and a love of storytelling, Peace Like a River is at once a heroic quest, a tragedy, a romance, and a heartfelt meditation on the possibility of magic in the everyday world.
"You don't see novels like this one very often. Peace Like a River reminds a reader of Kent Haruf's Plainsong or even Norman MacLean's A River Runs Through It. It's got that pure American loss of innocence theme, that belief in and fascination with miracles, that insistence on the goodness of men outside of the law." Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times Book Review
"[W]hat allows Peace Like a River to transcend any limitations of belief and genre is its broad, sagacious humanity. Within the context of an adventure-filled tall tale, oddly enough, the book stretches out to gently explore the ancient mysteries of family. Independence and possession, loyalty and treachery, love and loathing they're all here, even if it's not always clear which is which....There is magic here, none more potent than Leif Enger's prose." Dan Cryer, Newsday
"Enger has written one of the year's best novels....Once in a great while, a book comes along that has such wonderful characters and marvelous prose that you read it as much for the pure joy it offers on virtually every page as to find out how it ends....You'll be sorry if you miss it....Go out and get a copy; savor it. This one is special." Tom Walker, The Denver Post
"It's dangerous work, writing about faith....To get it right as Leif Enger does in his novel is nothing short of miraculous....What could be unbelievable becomes extraordinary in Enger's hands....If words can bolster lapsed faith, if a story can sturdy a shaky foundation, then the flow of Enger's amazing new novel may bring more than a few of us to his promised peace." Connie Ogle, The Miami Herald
"If ever there was a time for a novel of faith and redemption a quiet book of old-fashioned verities this is it. Written in lyrical, openhearted prose, Peace Like a River even has a comforting, remarkable glimpse into the afterlife." Michael Giltz, New York Post
"It's the impassioned honesty of his quiet, measured narrative voice that gives weight and truth to the fantastic elements of this engrossing tale....This is a stunning debut novel, one that sneaks up on you like a whisper and warms you like a quilt in a North Dakota winter, a novel about faith, miracles and family that is, ultimately, miraculous." Publishers Weekly
"What readers will appreciate first in Enger's marvelous novel is the language. His limpid sentences are composed with the clarity and richness for which poets strive....Enger's profound understanding of human nature stands behind his compelling prose." Booklist (starred review)
"Once you begin Leif Enger's Peace Like A River, you are carried away by the elemental surge of its story, the sheer eagerness to see what happens to the engrossing characters who exist far from the intrusions of the media in the timeless arena of family love and anguish over a lost member. It is Enger's gift that he has made their extraordinary world credible." Jim Harrison, author of Legends of the Fall and Dalva
"I'm urging this book on you because it is written in prose tart and crisp as a Minnesota Autumn. Peace Like a River is seductive and chatty and deliciously American and there are passages so wondrous and wise you'll want to claw yourself with pleasure." Frank McCourt, author of Angela's Ashes and 'Tis
About the Author

You never know what you're going to find when you play a viral video game on a movie website. In this case, it's the first official poster for Christopher Nolan's Inception. "Mysterious" is the first word that comes to mind when my eyes scan over the imagery. A sleek city, a pool of water in the streets, and Leo DiCaprio standing knee-deep in it holding a vibrator. What he's going to do with the sexual device, I have no idea, but it probably plays into the tag of the movie: Your Mind Is The Scene Of The Crime. If they've probed into MY mind, the MPAA is going to have a whole slew of problems with this film.If you'd like to play the game that reveals this poster, you can find it here. First Showing has even provided a strategy guide here. Or you can do none of these things and just enjoy that fact that I've already posted the damn thing for you above. I've even offered a link to some early leaked footage right here.
Legion Christmas Greeting for Grandma – Watch more Funny Videos Holidays can bring out the worst in people. Keep that in mind this Christmas when Grandma tells you that your baby is going to burn (most likely in Hell). Your first instinct will be to rail off and go house on the old bag, but she's old school. She don't fight fair. Legion brings a biblical apocalypse to theaters on January 22nd, 2010. Check out the red band trailer here.
Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson sings the hooks in The Black Eyed Peas songs that make us want to rip our hair out. But she's got a hot body, so I can kind of excuse her involvement with the band. If you want more of her gams, you can check them out in Nine this Christmas.A word from Fergie: "I won't say how many men I've had sex with, but I'm a very sexual person!"I think we all know when women say something as salacious as that the number is well over 1000. Clear evidence that Fergie is a sexual person after the jump.
Wait for Rammstein to lead the charge. Note to directors: heavy metal music isn't always the best accompaniment to your visuals. You think it gets the viewer all amped up, and I'm wondering what the hell a gritty guitar riff has to do with chain mail that isn't part of a S&M scenario. The trailer for the Ridley Scott directed Robin Hood adopts the recently popular convention of making everything rock. Maybe it's because Russell Crowe is fat now and he needs music to make him appear bad-ass. I remember a time when putting down a turkey leg and picking up a dumbbell did that. Get back in the gym, Crowe! It's going to be hard to draw that bow with turkey leg grease on your fingers. The production of Robin Hood has been hampered with so many problems it's amazing that they got a trailer together at all. It gives us a taste of the bandit who steals from the rich and gives to the poor, but it's a taste that tastes an awful lot like other things that Ridley Scott has touched. And I was intending that to mean his sack. Check out the trailer after the jump and let me know if you're down with The Hood.
Thanks to a focus on gimmicky tactics to get butts into theater seats, 3-D cinema is in the middle of its biggest success since its inception. You may not believe this, but 3-D has been around almost as long as movies themselves. But, feature-length theatrical 3-D movies have only been around for about the past 50 years. 3-D has had its ups and downs, but every few years it pops up again, either trying to build on previous successes in the market, or finding a new way to exploit the technology. Sometimes, it's even used to exploit kids' fandom of Michael Jackson (see "Captain EO").I decided to look at a few of the features that have proved important creating 3-D cinematic history – sometimes good, sometimes bad, sometimes very bad.
The Golden Globes 2010 Nominees have been announced and somehow both Old Dogs and Paul Blart: Mall Cop were left off the list. I blame the heartless Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Don't they know that all Seth Green has is his work!Avatar, Inglourious Basterds, and Up in the Air garnered four nominations each but Nine is the front runner with six nominations. Jazzhands. They're like crack to these awards people.CHECK OUT THE FULL LIST OF NOMINEES AFTER THE JUMP
Last week there was news that Mel Gibson was renting a prison in Veracruz, Mexico for a film project. There were no details at the time but today comes news that film is titled, How I Spent My Summer Vacation. The film will star Gibson as a man who can hear what Mexicans think after an accidental electrocution. Just kidding. They don't have electricity in Mexico. Anyhoo…Gibson will not be directing this one. He will, however, be credited as the writer of the film that is actually about a criminal (Gibson) who is sent to a run-down, dirty Mexican prison where he meets and bonds with a nine-year-old boy. Hold on. They have children in Mexican prisons? Does Roman Polanski know about that? Seems like he could have saved himself a lot of belly aching with that knowledge. (Empire)
A new character poster and clip from Kick-Ass has been released with Nic Cage as Big Daddy. No, I swear to you he's Big Daddy and not an earless Batman. I don't want to ruin the clip, but Cage engages in a questionable parental practice. However, I'm a firm believer in what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, so bring on the violent life lessons!

Screen Junkies caught up with game developer Cliff Bleszinski at Spike's Video Game Awards to discuss Gears of War's jump to the big screen. Len Wiseman has hopped on board to direct the man vs. alien film, but no stars have been attached yet.

After being crowned Miss Panama (1995), Patricia De Leon's career started blossoming, getting breaks hosting Corte del Juez Franco on Azteca TV (a break?), and the Billboard Latino. From her work on Univision, Patricia snatched roles on American TV, including, Lincoln Heights, Cold Case, and Crossing Jordan. Now she's Ray Romano's dream girl on Men of a Certain Age. She's my dream girl in my dreams.A word from Patricia: "I'm Latina."I can see that. Thank you for being Latina, and a damn sexy one at that.Check out more pics of the Latina after the jump.
Thanks to the maximum abage in New Moon and ironic t-shirts, werewolves are so hot right now. MTV knows this and they're getting in on the trend with their bastardization reimagining of Teen Wolf. Now we have word of the show's casting. Tyler Posey, Tyler Hoechlin, Crystal Reed and Dylan O'Brien have been cast in the pilot written by Jeff Davis (Criminal Minds). Posey will play a high school dork who develops bizarre transformative powers after being attacked by a wolf. O'Brien is playing his best friend and Reed will play the hot piece barking for his bone. Seventh Heaven's Hoechlin is signed on to play a d*ckhead/evil werewolf. That's all well and good for them but what of Teen Wolf Pug? He should have nailed it in auditions.That's it, fatboy. I'm getting you into the gym. You clearly don't have the abs to be a star… yet. (THR)
Last night on the Spike 2009 Video Game Awards, Jake Gyllenhaal stepped out on stage to introduce a one minute sneak peak of his new movie Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. If you've seen the first trailer, the footage isn't all that exciting. It seems like it was intended for an audience that wouldn't watch or attend the Spike 2009 Video Game Awards because that audience would have most likely seen the first trailer, and they wouldn't appreciate Jake showcasing old footage like it's something to sh*t your pants over. Just saying. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time blows into theaters May 28th, 2010. Don't let any of it get into your butt crack. And check out the sneak peek below.
Rumor around them Internets is that we'll be seeing a Tron Legacy teaser sooner than expected. This week, actually if the reports are correct. Here's what a far from credible source had to say on the Tron Sector forum:"I work as a projectionist for a theater and Disney sent us a message that we will be receiving both "new" Alice in Wonderland and Tron Legacy trailers to be played with Avatar."You can't always believe what you read online so take this one with a grain of salt. He could be the same guy who tried to convince me that Samuel L. Jackson's Jedi name was going to be 'Retardo Assman.'It does seem like Tron Legacy is beginning its push. Especially when you consider the images released last week, and AICN's report that a new Tron Legacy image will be unveiled on a West Los Angeles street corner today. Let's hope it's quality. Lord knows that enough unsightly images are unveiled on Los Angeles street corners everyday. (via Cinema Blend)
I don't know about you, but I think that off-screen guy looks crazy. The new trailer for The Crazies, starring Timothy Olyphant and Radha Mitchell, has mixed into the web like tainted drinking water, and I'm digging the funny taste. We showed you the first trailer a couple months back of the Breck Eisner remake of the cult George Romero film. The new one has plenty shots of Olyphant offering stupified looks and zombie people jumping at the camera while the music goes DUM! As you may or may not choose to remember, Breck Eisner directed the film Sahara starring Matthew "Shirts Iritate My Skin" McConaughey, so while The Crazies may not live up to those terrifying results, it looks scary nonetheless. The film is about the inhabitants of a small Iowa town suddenly plagued by insanity and then death after a mysterious toxin contaminates their water supply. Overall, it sounds like an amalgamation of Erin Brockovich and Christmas dinner at my mom's house.The Crazies infests theaters February 26th. Check out the trailer after the jump.

I love Stanley Tucci, in a completely plutonic way. Would I gently rub his bald head? Of course, but just so I could write the headline "Screen Junkies Rubbed Stanley Tucci's Head!" not because I would gain any sexual pleasure from the act. His performance as Mr. Harvey absolutely MAKES The Lovely Bones worth seeing. I was not a fan of the film overall, as it lacked in story depth and fleshed out character arcs, but I would recommend seeing it solely based on Tucci's chilling performance as Susie Salmon's murderer and griller. He puts a little lemon juice on her, some cracked pepper, she's delicious. Because she's salmon. Get it. Yo, whateva. Check out the featurette after the jump of Tucci discussing the difficulty of emboding the role of a monster such as Mr. Harvey. Oddly enough, he didn't like to think like a child murderer/rapist, but boy oh boy does it come through those blue eye contacts of his.
While doing press overseas for Avatar, Sigourney Weaver spoke a little bit about the impending Ghostbusters 3. But did she reveal too much?"I'm afraid to say it [Ghostbusters 3] is happening, I hope people are excited about that. I don't know if I'm going to be in it, I have had a couple of calls asking 'would you read the script.' I might be in it; I see nothing wrong with being in it, although I don't think I will have a big part. I think Bill Murray has a little more to do with it – he's a ghost."Oh, thanks a lot Ms. Spoilthemovieforeveryoneelseovitch. Are you sure that Bill Murray is a ghost (or even interested)? Because I was recently promised I'd see him as a zombie and that didn't pan out as expected. If he's only wearing a white sheet in this thing, I'm getting my money back. (Channel 4 via AICN)
Courtney Ford is one hot little number. She's been starring as reporter Christine in this season of Dexter, and she's been nakey a lot of the time. Niiiice. She's also married to Superman Brandon Routh, but I don't think anyone's intimated by that.A word from Courtney: "Oh my gosh, I hear theories every day!"Me too! Let's get together to discuss them. Drinks then dinner? Pick you up at 7? Lock Superman in a closet or something.
Bad news, nerdy guys. You won't have any new Flight of the Conchords songs to sing-along to in a failed effort to impress girls anytime soon. The New Zealand folk duo have announced that this past season of their HBO show will not be followed by a third. The show had grown too difficult to produce with the pressures of writing multiple original songs per episode. Though they are still expected to record albums, there is no word on when those may be released. So, sorry fellas. Looks like you're going to have to rely on Lonely Island to get you almost laid for the foreseeable future. (via Reuters)
YouTube user Vadoskincheg created a masterpiece of modern cinema. He took trailers from over 50 films and melded them together to produce a preview for a movie so epic that no movie theater or even celluloid could contain its utter ferocity. My eyes are bleeding and my ears are still ringing from the first viewing. I'd go back for another, but I fear my mind can process no more. Behold the bombastic trailer of trailers in all its glory below.
Earlier reports that Pride and Prejudice and Zombies would be a television miniseries seem to be nullified today. Variety reports that Natalie Portman is teaming up with Richard Kelly and Lionsgate to bring the project to the big screen. No word yet on when filming will begin. Portman is currently busy having angry sex with Mila Kunis in The Black Swan and then she has Kenneth Branagh's Thor after that. According to Variety:Portman will play feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet, who is distracted from her quest to eradicate the zombie menace by the arrival of the arrogant Mr. Darcy. Is this some kind of trick? Throwing zombies into classic literature so that I'll see it and maybe learn something?? Not gonna happen. **swigs from gasoline can** (Variety)

Busey On Board.You'd think he'd have had a court-ordered vasectomy by now but it is being reported that Gary Busey is going to be a dad again. This requires that Gary Busey be allowed near a vagina, but who would sign off on that? The actor/knife aficionado Busey, who once snorted cocaine off a dog's back, announced at the Crazy Heart premiere that his girlfriend Stephanie Sampson is carrying his child. So if you see Busey in the woods handing out cigars to wolves within the next nine months, be sure to congratulate the proud papa. (WENN)
In an effort to promote their new movie, The Slammin' Salmon, the Broken Lizard gang held a salmon chowder eating contest at City Crab & Seafood in New York City. Gluton Bob Shoudt broke the Major League Eating capacity record after eating 2.4 gallons and more than 24 pounds of chowder in 6-minutes. A disgusted and bewildered Michael Clarke Duncan served as guest judge and the Broken Lizards were amateur coaches at the Major League Eating contest. Eater X, Badlands Booker, Crazy Legs Conti and Allen "Shredder" Goldstein competed along with amateur hopefuls. I threw up in my mouth. Never have I seen so much stewed oil, cream, and fish shoveled into an orifice. I hope everyone at this contest felt very bad about themselves after. The human body isn't meant to tolerate so much thick, white liquid. Hence the stomach pump.
Rachel Weisz starred in The Mummy and The Mummy Returns. She's also won an Academy Award. Two facts that have nothing to do with one another. Thank God. A word from Rachel: "People find out I'm an actress and I see that 'whore' look flicker across their eyes." Is that a real thing because I SWEAR I've seen that look in so many eyes and I thought I was just crazy! Damn this sixth sense is such a burden. See if Rachel's eyes flicker in the pics after the jump.
As this new poster for Tron Legacy declares, "the game has changed." But how? How has this game changed? Still looks all cyber-bikey to me. Is there cyber-lava now?? Or is it that the chicks are hotter this time around?Yes. That could be it. The girls are more attractive and, as you can see from the poster below, the perverts are just as Midwestern.
Posted below are six new clips from a small indie movie called Avatar that comes out December 18th. Like most other bloggers, I refuse to watch them because I want to get the most out of my expensive-ass IMAX ticket. Plus I like wearing shades when I see movies. You know, so the stuff jumps out at you and stuff, like Captain EO. If you like to experience your epic action-adventure movies on a much smaller, 2D screen, then by all means click play below.
What if Amy Fisher knew karate? That's roughly the idea behind Wife Vs. Ninja, a pitch recently purchased by Dreamworks. The story centers on a scientist who leaves his Long Island housewife for his beautiful young intern. But the intern is actually a ninja assassin intent on murdering him and stealing his work. Not sure why the wife would want to save her cheating spouse. Must be children involved.Producer Michael Besman will write the script along with scribes Michael Zam and Jaffe Cohen. Not sure how good this one can be. I place it just above Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever on the Versus Movie Scale. (Variety)
Director: Peter JacksonCast: Mark Wahlberg, Saoirse Ronan, Rachel Weisz, Stanley Tucci, Susan SarandonSynopsis: Centers on a young girl who has been murdered and watches over her family – and her killer – from heaven. She must weigh her desire for vengeance against her desire for her family to heal.

For decades, Mahatma Gandhi has been an inspiration to peaceful people all over the world. We admire him for his ideas: social justice, civil rights, nonviolence. We applaud his actions as the leader of the nonviolent revolution that brought India to independence from British rule. And we're inspired by his words: some of the most-shared and best-loved quotes can be traced back to Gandhi's lips.
Sixty-five years ago today, Gandhi was assassinated in a cruel mockery of the peaceful values he based his life on. But his philosophy survives, as do his powerful words. We invite you to visit our Gandhi gallery on Pinterest to see some of our favorite quotes from this great man of peace.

|Iraqi lit could be part of your summer reading list
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Thursday, 07 June 2007 05:56
Yesterday, Appalachian State University faculty member and translator William Hutchins conducted readings in honor of International Iraqi Author Week.The award winning translator read excerpts from his translations in English, which were then followed by passages in the original language. While the translating process takes on average about a year, you won't hear any complaints from Hutchins. He enjoys what he does.
It's the stories themselves that captivated the audience, however. Although authors like Mohammed Khudayyir live across the globe, Hutchins brought several comparisons between his world and the High Country.
Just like in Boone, he said, there is a side of Basra that tourists and visitors do not see. Khudayyir fills his book with the stories, the unique local characters that make Basra home. According to Hutchins, Khudayyir never leaves Basra and it is unknown whether he has a copy of his own book.If you'd like to expand your summer reading list with some unique Iraqi authors, visit the ASU bookstore. The bookstore is currently offering a ten percent discount on Hutchins' translations.

Lately, we've realized that half our wardrobes seem to be borrowed from the boys. We're talking oversized button-downs, baggy trousers, supersized watches, and oxford lace-ups, to name a few pieces we currently can't live without. Apparently we girls want to have it all--and wear it all--so it's no surprise that we're repurposing yet another menswear-inspired item for our own stylesetting agendas: the boyfriend coat. And who can blame us? There's something delightfully powerful about slipping into a big semi-slouchy coat, plus this oversized outerwear option is surprisingly practical, as it allows for all sorts of cozy layering as the weather turns colder. Exhibiting masculine touches--such as large pockets, traditional patterns, and a double-breasted shape--yet fit for the feminine frame, boyfriend coats are the perfect replacement for last year's puffer, making them the winter-wonderful item you must Go Buy Now!
In case you need convincing that this cool coat should be your next big-ticket purchase, we'll take a closer look at some of the collections that brought this trend into the limelight. Seen at the F/W 10 shows of some of our favorite French fashion brands--most notably Chloe, Vanessa Bruno, and Kenzo--boyfriend coats were used to deftly execute two distinct sartorial scenarios. In the first, designers embraced androgyny
and paired these coats with menswear basics to conjure up an au courant Annie Hall. An ideal example of this is our featured Kenzo look, for which designer Antonio Marras used a cherry-red boyfriend coat to accent a cropped, wide-leg Pantsuit ($344, 01.72.74.54.50) and even finished off the ensemble with a masculine Hat ($186, 01.72.74.54.50) for quirky, unisex outfit that's a lovely mix of late-seventies inspiration and cutting-edge style. In the second, boyfriend coats were utilized in contrast to decidedly more feminine pieces, like silky blouses or wool mini skirts, resulting in a sexy I-slept-at-my-boyfriend's-and-stole-his-coat aesthetic. While the latter example is more traditionally alluring (and is often paired with bedhead hair), the former still exudes a sense of confidence that is surprisingly sexy, which means that this outerwear option is a thrillingly versatile pick!
Now that we've given you a quick rundown on all the ways in which to wear this piece du jour, we'll turn our attention to the stars of today's story: the actual coats themselves! We've selected six shining examples for your layering enjoyment, and we hope that you find them just as covetable as we do!
1. Theory Ellery Double Breasted Coat ($645)
Perhaps the most feminine of today's roundup, Theory's golden-brown jacket is an excellent option if you're interested in trying this trend in a subtle way. The slimmer cut is ideal for those who favor a more fitted silhouette while the coat's rich caramel hue is truly intriguing. We'd pair ours with leather shorts, opaque tights, and black ankle boots for fall, then switch out said shorts for a metallic mini as the holiday season gains champagne-fueled steam.
2. Opening Ceremony Double Pocket Coat ($625)
This ankle-length coat is seriously cozy, and it has a sort of grandfatherly vintage-chic vibe. Additionally, the understated houndstooth print is spot-on for fall's moodier looks, while the coat's mid-calf hemline and oversized pockets give it a fun and quirky touch. We could easily see Agyness Deyn wearing it with skinny jeans, moto boots, and a trilby hat for a killer off-duty look.
3. H&M Coat ($80)
When we spotted H&M's uniform-blue boyfriend coat we immediately snapped to attention. This authoritatively chic piece of outerwear deftly incorporates the ongoing military trend via its aforementioned color and oversized pockets, plus we appreciate its structured shape and sharp lapel. We'd pair this high-street find with a black maxi skirt and cashmere cowl-neck sweater for a stylishly minimalist look.
4. Zara Plush College Coat ($100)
Camel coats are indisputably one of fall's top trends, so when we stumbled across Zara's double-breasted version we were duly thrilled. The boxy shape is deliciously boyish while the silky plaid lining adds a festive schoolgirl touch. Take a note from Chloe's F/W 10 runway--where caramel outerwear reigned supreme--and pair it with tan high-waisted slacks and a neutral sweater for a strikingly polished ensemble.
5. Topshop Tweed Check Boyfriend Coat ($170)
A wee less boxy than some of the other coats offered, Topshop's tweed-check version is nonetheless parfait for executing this menswear-influenced trend. Use this across-the-pond iteration in contrast with a full pleated skirt for a boy-meets-girl ensemble that flawlessly incorporates two of fall's most favored looks.
6. Vanessa Bruno Wool Twill Topcoat ($1136)
Chock full of must-have pieces like luscious leather shorts, incandescent diaphanous dresses, sweet ballet sweaters, and, of course, oversized manteaus, Vanessa Bruno's F/W 10 collection nailed that effortlessly sexy, bohemian aesthetic that is so Parisian street-chic. Spawned from that collection is our final pick: an olive-double breasted coat we might not be able to live without. Infuse your wardrobe with some sartorial je ne sais quoi by wearing this lust-worthy selection over a sheer blouse or maxi dress for an enchanting Bruno-inspired look.--Liza Kaplan

Workers rally to save the U. S. Postal Service
EUGENE, Ore. - Hundreds of postal workers rallied at the Wayne Morse Free Speech Plaza on Tuesday afternoon in hopes of saving the United States Postal Service.
Postal employees rallied in every congressional district across the United States in what they designated a Day of Action to Save America's Postal Service.
The workers rallied with two different goals in mind: informing the public of the financial situation at the U. S. Postal Service and letting people know how it can be solved.
"It's not the Internet that's killing the postal service, it's this pre-funding of future retirement health benefits that's killing the postal service," said Jim Cook, an official with the Oregon State Letter Carriers Association.
Postal employees believe that a new piece of legislation, H.R. 1351, could help solve the problem for the struggling U.S. Postal Service that lost $8 billion last year.
Supporters said the bill will allow the U.S. Postal Service to use the money that Congress has forced them to put aside for future pension benefits. Postal workers also stress that the bill will not cost the tax payers a cent.
"H.R. 1351 will deal with that and give the postal service billions of dollars that have been pre-funded on actual retirement accounts," said Gary Jarvis, an express mail clerk from Springfield.
Mail carrier Sabrina Schwetzer fears the mail service could go to five days if this bill does not pass. Schwetzer feels the move could hurt her job and those who need their mail.
"There's people that need their medicine on Saturday," Schwetzer said. "They 'we'll try to ship them earlier so they don't get them on Saturdays,' but it doesn't work that way. To save money, this is not the way to do it."
Right now H.R. 1351 has just over 211 signatures. The bill still needs at least 218 co -signers to pass the House.
The U. S. Postmaster General announced that a study will be done to try to eliminate over half of the mail processing centers in this country. The mail processing center on Gateway Street in Springfield was on that list. As a result, 200 postal workers could lose their jobs.
Gary Jarvis is an express mail clerk at the mail processing center in Springfield. Jarvis believes the postal service should be saved not only for his job, but for the United States as a whole.
The mail processing center will be studied this fall. The postal workers will find out in April if the center will have to close.
"The post office is part of the fabric that binds this country together for communication, gifts and cards," Jarvis said. "Yes, we know there's other forms of communication, but the American public I believe still needs the Postal Service."

Duck and watch where youre stepping.
Its that time of the year when the pesky crow population makes its return to Watertown. And it has with a vengeance.
As many as 30,000 crows make their roost in the city when the weather gets cold, and they typically stay until late February.
David T. Coleman, caretaker of the Jefferson County Historical Society museum, said the crows are coming earlier and staying later.
Well, this is an epidemic with 30,000 of them in the city, he said.
They certainly leave their mark.
On Tuesday morning, a museum maintenance worker spent several hours hosing down the sidewalks covered with crow droppings. The roof of the carriage house and the museum also are coated with the white or purplish markings.
City officials said they hope to tackle the problem by bringing back Loomacres Wildlife Management, Warnerville, to fend the crows off. Wildlife biologists from the company again will handle the citys crow hazing program.
On Monday night, the Watertown City Council will be asked to approve a $4,740 contract with Loomacres. Under the agreement, biologists would be in Watertown for 150 man hours to get the troublesome black birds out of the city.
Basically, theyll be doing about pretty much the same thing as last year, city planner Andrew T. Nichols said.
They held three crow-hazing sessions last season, starting at dusk and lasting throughout the night. Before they begin the hazing, biologists plan to survey the population and study its roosting patterns, he said.
Last season, they used special remote-controlled aircraft, played distress calls, fired low-yield pyrotechnics and used hand-held lasers to accomplish their task.
This year, they also intend to add crow effigies and paintball markers to their arsenal, Mr. Nichols said, admitting that he did not know what those strategies entail.
But Mr. Coleman insisted Loomacres should resort to using high-powered air rifles to kill the crows. He felt so strongly about the issue that he contacted Loomacres officials about it.
He also expressed concerns about the health hazards of having crow droppings all over the city.
You should use hazmat suits, he said, adding that his crew is offered gloves and masks.

Pro Rodeo takes over Matt Knight Arena
EUGENE, Ore. -- The Pro Rodeo kicked off at Matthew Knight Arena Saturday night, taking the usual hardwood court and transforming it into a dirt-filled corral.
Matt West, a professional rodeo announcer, said that they have a hard working team behind that change that is essential to pulling off a night without a hitch.
"What these guys do is probably the most important thing, they are the unsung heroes of our sport," said West. "Back behind our shoots, are the pens where the bulls are actually gonna be."
West is referring to the men behind the machinery that moved 25 truck loads of dirt into Matt Knight Arena. They are also responsible for the nearly 400 pieces of steel that keep the rodeo together.
The team has it down to a science, West said. The crew working on the Pro Rodeo have been at it since 3 a.m. Sunday.
"Obviously, we're completely surrounded with dirt and other things when we're dealing with farm animals so its not for the faint of heart," said West.
Pro bull rider Derek Lacasa says not just any cowboy can do it.
"If you've ever been on one bull, most people think they're a bull rider. Not the case," laughed Lacasa.
Lacasa said that for him, bull riding is a lot like playing golf.
"Golf is … repetition. Everything you do should be the same the way it was before," Lacasa said. "It's gonna be one man, one bull, gates are gonna crack, stuff's gonna happen, guys are gonna get run over. Bullfighters are gonna get in there, get touched, its gonna be great watchin."
It seems like it would take days to get all that dirt out of Matthew Knight Arena, but the team will start loading dump trucks back up as soon as the stadium clears out.

GoldX USB QuickConnect™ 12-in-1 Camera Kit
Filed under: Uncategorized
Just imagine getting home from an incredible vacation with tons of picture taking. You've opened a few windows to get some fresh air into your closed-up house, dumped the contents of your suitcase into the washer, and taken a quick shower to get rid of all that travel grime. What's next? Transferring all of those gorgeous photos to your computer, of course. Now where is that USB cable?……
If you've ever had to cope with your pictures being "trapped" inside your digital camera because you lost the USB cable that came with it, then you're really going to be crazy about the USB QuickConnect™ 12-in-1 Camera Kit from GoldX. This combo kit comes with a USB cable and 12 interchangeable connectors, so no matter what USB format your camera uses, you can custom-create a cable to hook it up to your PC or laptop.
All 12 connectors have gold-plated contacts for great signal transmission, and the cable itself is shielded to block out EMI and RFI noise that can interfere with data transfer. The kit is compatible with cameras by Sony, Panasonic, Canon, Sharp, Kodak, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax, Toshiba, Konica, and Minolta (just to name a few), as well as some mobile phones and PDAs. And when you're not using the cable and connectors, they all tuck neatly inside the included storage case so that nothing gets lost.

Credit Suisse is back on top again, aiming to leverage relationships throughout emerging markets to further stoke the coals of its LatAm investment banking engine. The Swiss house coasts on rising revenue from M&A, equity and fixed income, but has not slipped into complacency.
"We are doing much more
[than competitors] in real terms to connect LatAm with the rest
of the world," says Pedro Chomnalez, head of LatAm investment
banking at Credit Suisse. "Every day we think more long term,"
he tells LatinFinance.
The top tier begrudgingly
concedes Credit Suisses many strengths while rising LatAm
investment banks and newcomers hold it up as the house to
emulate. While it may not always come top for everything, the
Swiss bank remains the one to beat, particularly in M&A
advisory. Credit Suisse takes both Best Investment Bank and
Best M&A House honors.

Ports of Call: Profiles of popular cruise destinations
March 3, 2011
Cruise Port Spotlight: Frederiksted and Christiansted, St. Croix
The largest of the trio of U.S. Virgin Islands (the other two being St. Thomas and St. John), St. Croix is also the easternmost point of the U.S. Christopher Columbus discovered the island in 1493 and named it Santa Cruz, which means Holy Cross, before the native Caribs chased him away. The French claimed the island in the 17th century (hence its current name of St. Croix, (the French translation of Santa Cruz). Denmark purchased St. Croix from the French in the 18th century, and the Danish influence prevailed until the latter part of the 19th century (the U.S. acquired it and St. Thomas and St. John in the early 20th century from the Danes), so Danish architecture is in evidence to this day.
March 3, 2011
Cruise Port Spotlight: Costa Maya, Mexico
Located in the southern half of the 236-mile Caribbean coastline of the Yucatan Peninsula in Quintana Roo, Mexico, approximately 100 miles south of Playa del Carmen and near the border with Belize, Costa Maya suffered extensive damages from Hurricane Dean, a category five storm that made landfall here in 2007, but the area has recovered and rebuilt.
February 3, 2011
Cruise Port Spotlight: Colon and Cristobal, Panama
Most people, when they think of Panama, come up with Panama hats (although these well-known hats are really made in Ecuador) and, of course, they associate the country with the Panama Canal, a modern-day marvel connecting the Caribbean Sea to the Pacific Ocean on Panama's narrow isthmus (the Canal was constructed in the early 20th century by the U.S, and turned over to Panama on Dec. 31, 1999).
February 3, 2011
Cruise Port Spotlight: Puerto Limón, Costa Rica
Often likened to a Noah's Ark due to its rich fauna, including 1,250 species of butterflies and multitudes of bird species, Costa Rica is sort of a poster child for eco-tourism. This tiny Central American country -- roughly the size of West Virginia -- has 12 ecological zones and has made an effort to preserve its many natural attributes and wilderness in national parks. It also offers multiple eco-friendly activities: from river rafting to hiking, snorkeling and kayaking, to zip-lining and tram-riding over the rainforest canopy.
February 3, 2011
Cruise Port Spotlight: Belize City, Belize
A Central American country, located between Mexico and Guatemala, Belize has a variety of Caribbean islands including St.George's Caye (the site of the 1798 battle during which the British defeated the Spanish and laid claim to Belize), Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker both of which lie within the Belize Barrier Reef -- the largest tropical reef in our hemisphere, famous for the Great Blue Hole, which beckons divers from around the world. The barrier reef, while the top reason for many travelers to visit Belize, is not the only one. Others include Mayan ruins (some excavated, others still jungle-covered) and a tropical rainforest inhabited by many species of birds.
February 3, 2011
Cruise Port Spotlight: St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands
St. John, the smallest and least densely populated of the three main U.S. Virgin Islands (the other two are St. Thomas and St. Croix), is east of nearby St. Thomas, and it is known for its picture-postcard-perfect beaches -- St. John is all about the water and unspoiled surroundings.
November 29, 2010
Cruise Port Spotlight: Key West, Fla.
Key West, Florida's "Last Key" is a popular port of call on Western Caribbean cruise itineraries. Located closer to Cuba than to Miami, the island is a laid-back tropical oasis that has attracted the likes of Harry Truman, Ernest Hemingway, and Tennessee Williams, among other writers, artists and luminaries.
November 22, 2010
Cruise Port Spotlight: Basse-Terre, Pointe-a-Pitre and Iles Des Saintes, Guadeloupe
A French isle, less visited than Martinique, Guadeloupe is sometimes called "the butterfly island" due to its shape that loosely resembles that beautiful insect --the two "wings" of the butterfly are Grand-Terre (on the eastern side with rolling hills and sugar plantations) and Basse-Terre (on the western side dotted with banana plantations and mountainous landscapes that are dominated by the 4,104-foot peak of still-active, La Soufriere Volcano). A drawbridge over a river, the Riviere Salee (the Salt River) that flows between the Caribbean from the Atlantic connects both sides of the island.
November 15, 2010
Cruise Port Spotlight: St. George's, Grenada
A cruise passenger who wants to "spice" up his life can certainly do so --literally--during his ship's call to Grenada. Known as the "Spice Island," Grenada boasts more spices per square mile than anywhere else in the world: ginger, cocoa, cinnamon, mace, tonka beans and nutmeg --a third of the planet's supply of the latter. Along with Carriacou and Petit Martinique, Grenada, located off the coast of South America and part of the Grenadines group in the Windward Islands, is an independent, three-island nation.
November 8, 2010
Port of Call Spotlight: British Virgin Islands
The British Virgin Islands, in the northeastern Caribbean, beckon cruise passengers with their unspoiled coves and hidden bays. Sparsely populated --the islands, with a land area of 59 square miles, are inhabited by some 22,700 people --they were discovered by Columbus in 1493 and annexed by the British in 1672. They remain a British colony with their own elected government.
October 8, 2010
Port of Call Spotlight: Basseterre, St. Kitts
Unspoiled St. Kitts and Nevis, its smaller sister island, welcome cruise passengers with a lush landscape including rain forests, mountains and dormant volcanoes, 18th century sugar plantation heritage, and wonderful beaches some white sanded, others with black or gray volcanic sands.
October 4, 2010
Port of Call Spotlight: Gustavia, St. Barthelemy
Chic St. Barthelemy could be said to be the island of many names: in addition to St. Barthelemy, it is often referred to as "St. Barths," "St. Barth's" and "St. Bart's." A tiny idyll of the French Antilles--about 8.5 square miles--located between the Caribbean and the Atlantic, it is a frequent stop on Caribbean voyages from Florida.
September 27, 2010
Port of Call Spotlight: St. John's, Antigua
If when you think of the Caribbean, you conjure up beaches and more beaches, Antigua may be the island for you. It has 365 beaches -- presumably one for each day of the year. And it is not just quantity, but quality too: Antigua's beaches are beauties, for the most part with white facial-powder-like sands and clear aquamarine waters protected by coral reefs.
September 20, 2010
Port of Call Spotlight: Willemstad, Curacao
Part of the Netherlands Antilles, Curacao is the"C" of the"ABC" Dutch Caribbean islands (the other two are Aruba and Bonaire). Located 35 miles north of Venezuela in the Southern Caribbean, it is the largest (37 miles long and almost seven miles wide) and also the most populous of the Dutch islands with more than 170,000 inhabitants.
September 13, 2010
Port of Call Spotlight: Freeport/Lucaya, Grand Bahama Island
Due to its proximity to Florida --only 50 miles east of Palm Beach -- Grand Bahama Island is a popular destination for many Floridians for a quick, grab-your-beach-towel-and-go fun day getaway by cruise ship. Grand Bahama-bound ships sail from Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach and offer short cruises --generally, one- and two-days -- that can be combined with land packages at resorts and hotels on Grand Bahama Island for a longer vacation. Other big draws are the island's beaches and other natural attractions, great fishing, snorkeling and diving, as well as its relatively affordable prices.
September 13, 2010
Port of Call Spotlight: Roatan, Honduras
A popular stop on Western Caribbean cruise itineraries, Roatan, 30 miles off the coast of Honduras, is the largest and most developed of the Bay Islands, a region comprised of three primary islands and more than 60 isles and keys in the Caribbean Sea. A paradise for divers, it is surrounded by the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the world's second largest, after Australia's Great Barrier Reef. There are some 80 special sites for diving, including rich marine life, dramatic drops, wrecks, crevices and caverns.
September 13, 2010
Port of Call Spotlight: Castries, St. Lucia
One of the loveliest islands of the Caribbean, St. Lucia, the second largest of the Windward Islands at 240 square miles, is a frequent stop on Southern Caribbean cruise itineraries. Now independent, it changed hands more than a dozen times during its history, with Great Britain and France vying for it during colonial times.
September 13, 2010
Port of Call Spotlight: Fort-de-France, Martinique
In the Carib language of her first inhabitants, her name means "island of flowers." And Martinique's landscapes of seaside villages, green-clad volcanic mountains and hills are indeed adorned with a profusion of blossoms: bougainvillea, hibiscus, bird of paradise, anthuriums and more.
June 4, 2010
Port of Call Spotlight: Cozumel, Mexico
Cozumel, the island that the Mayans considered their Eden from where they believed they came to populate the continent, like bees from a hive, is located near Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. It's tiny, approximately 10 miles wide and 30 miles long-but like the Eden it was for the ancient Mayans, it is a paradise for today's travelers and cruise passengers.
June 4, 2010
Port of Call Spotlight: Grand Cayman
A popular stop on Western Caribbean cruise itineraries, Grand Cayman is best known as a paradise for divers as the clarity of its waters afford visibility of up to 200 feet. The island offers family friendly attractions, including beautiful beaches with calm, warm, waters, and duty-free shopping in the capital of George Town.
June 4, 2010
Port of Call Spotlight: Nassau, Bahamas
Nassau, the capital of the 700-island chain of the Bahamas, is a popular port of call on Caribbean and Bahamas cruise itineraries departing from Florida ports. It is easily explored independently on foot or via horse-drawn carriage tours, as the cruise ship pier, Prince George Wharf, is steps from downtown and the starting point of the horse drawn carriages.
June 4, 2010
Port of Call Spotlight: San Juan, Puerto Rico
The capital of Puerto Rico, the city of San Juan Bautista, is like a big pirate trunk filled to the brim with treasures for cruise passengers. Founded by the legendary explorer Juan Ponce de Leon, who arrived with 300 settlers in 1519 and who served as the first governor of Puerto Rico, San Juan is a classic walled city with centuries of history.
June 4, 2010
Port of Call Spotlight: St. Martin
Often referred to as the Caribbean island with a "split personality," St. Maarten/St. Martin--half Dutch, half French--offers cruise passengers the travel equivalent of a "two-for-one" special at their favorite store: two destinations, but just one stop.
June 4, 2010
Port of Call Spotlight: St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands
Arguably the Caribbean's most popular cruise ship port--visitors can count nine or 10 ships in port on any given day--St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands is often dubbed "the shopping center of the Caribbean." Its capital city, Charlotte Amalie, certainly lives up to the moniker, offering hundreds of shops along the waterfront housed in red-roofed buildings which were formerly Danish warehouses. The U.S. acquired St. Thomas and the other U.S. Virgin Islands of St. John and St. Croix from Denmark in 1917.
June 14, 2010
Port of Call Spotlight: Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos
Grand Turk, one of a chain of more than 40 islands in the Turks & Caicos, offers cruise passengers a tropical, laid-back ambience, excellent diving and fishing, colonial architecture, miles of beaches and a recently inaugurated pier and cruise ship terminal.
June 28, 2010
Port of Call Spotlight: Ocho Rios and Montego Bay, Jamaica
Jamaica, situated south of Cuba and west of Haiti, has all the natural attributes most people associate with a Caribbean island. One of the Greater Antilles, and the third largest island in the Caribbean with 4,400 square miles (after Cuba and Hispaniola) Jamaica mountainous isle with a peak rising 7,284 feet, and it offers everything one expects to find on a tropical idyll: white sand beaches, lush vegetation, beautiful waterfalls and historic great houses that exemplify the island's plantation economy.
June 28, 2010
Port of Call Spotlight: Cruise Lines' Private Islands
It was an idea pioneered by NCL several decades ago: offer cruise passengers a beach day on a private island (Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas' Berry Islands). The idea took hold and now a number of cruise lines (Costa, Disney, Holland America, Princess and Royal Caribbean) in addition to Norwegian Cruise Line feature stops at private islands or parts of islands for the use of their passengers.
July 12, 2010
Port of Call Spotlight: Bridgetown, Barbados
A blend of Caribbean and British cultures, Barbados is a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations, having achieved independence in 1966. Queen Elizabeth II is the head of state, driving is on the left, cricket is the national sport and the custom of afternoon tea is observed. A frequent stop on southern Caribbean cruise itineraries, this island in the Lesser Antilles also serves as a home port for several ships during the winter season.
July 19, 2010
Port of Call Spotlight: Oranjestad, Aruba
Aruba, the westernmost of the so-called Dutch "ABC islands:" Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao, is less than 20 miles from the coast of Venezuela. A small island, about 20-miles long and six-and-a-quarter miles wide at its widest point, Aruba could be said to be where the desert meets the sea.

Video: Athletic Director Steve Abbott talks with NEWS CENTER
Video: U-Maine team involved in bus accident
GEORGETOWN, Mass. (NEWS CENTER) - The University of Maine women's basketball team has been involved in a bus accident on its way to a game in Boston, but school officials say no players have been seriously injured.
Basketball player Milica Mitrovic sustained a broken hand and Head coach Richard Barron also was treated for minor facial lacerations.
Massachusetts State Police say the driver of the bus was the only person seriously hurt. He has been air lifted to a Boston hospital.
The bus was headed south on Interstate 95 when it crossed both the median and northbound lanes near Georgetown. Police say the bus went off the highway into the woods. No other vehicles were involved, although a State Police cruiser that stopped at the scene was struck from behind. The trooper was not seriously injured.
The bus was driving 22 team members from the UMaine basketball team. A few members of the team were treated for minor injuries...the rest were taken to hospitals for observation.
UMaine athletic director Steve Abbott says the players will spend the night at a hotel, and that tomorrow's game against Boston University has been cancelled.

|Statement description
This article is about how to create a USB recovery drive and use it to recover Windows 8/8.1.
|Affected configurations
The symptom above may occur to the following systems:
All Lenovo Laptops/Tablets preloaded with Windows 8.1
Some Lenovo Laptops/Tablets preloaded with Windows 8.0
If your PC run into problems, a USB recovery drive can help you troubleshoot and fix even if your PC cannot start.
Your PC might have come with a recovery image which is used to refresh or reset your PC. The recovery image is stored on a dedicated recovery partition on your PC, and is typically 3-6 GB in size. Windows 8.1 includes a built-in tool to create a USB recovery drive. Windows will let you know how big the recovery partition is, and you'll need a USB flash drive at least as big as that.
You might be asked for an admin password or to confirm your choice.
The recovery image and necessary recovery tools will be copied to your USB flash drive, which will take a while, depending on your PC and the size of the recovery image.
This is now your Windows 8.1 recovery drive, and you'll need it if you ever need to refresh or reset your PC. Keep it in a safe place and don't use it to store other files or data.
If you're having problems with your PC, you can try to refresh, or reset it. Refreshing your PC reinstalls Windows and keeps your personal files and settings. It also keeps the apps that came with your PC and the apps you installed from the Windows Store. Resetting your PC reinstalls Windows but deletes your files, settings, and apps—except for the apps that came with your PC.
It is strong recommended that you backup all you data before whatever you refresh or reset your PC.
If your PC can't boot into windows 8.1, you can boot your computer from the USB recovery drive, select Keyboard layout, select Troubleshoot, and then, select "Refresh your PC" or "Rest your PC" and then follow the instructions on the screen.
For those windows pad without Keyboard, such as Miix 2 8, press Volume up + power, select boot menu, select UEFI device, and waiting for your PC boot from the recovery drive.
You can proceed "Refresh your PC" or "Rest your PC" in windows 8.1:

Before we start to rely on something, we often want to see how it will react under stress—be it a bridge, or a baby stroller, or a space rocket.
Well, the same can be said about retirement portfolios. We should be able to see how our portfolios will react under stress, says Daniel Satchkov, a chartered financial analyst and president of RiXtrema, a risk modeling and consulting firm that focuses on extreme financial-market events and has built a portfolio crash testing service.
And then we need to figure out whether to accept or mitigate those stress points.
According to Satchkov, most—though not all—investors build retirement portfolios with one goal in mind—to maximize returns. And in doing so, they fail to consider how their portfolio might perform when things go bad—when inflation rises or emerging markets collapse, for example. "Most of the time they ignore it," he said.
Retirement Benefits and Your Small Business
Retirement plans attract workers and inspire company loyalty. MarketWatch's Robert Powell talks with three small-business experts about the types of plans that business owners should consider and why the MyRA product may not be the best solution.
To be fair, some investors are risk-averse rather than return-hungry. "Some people become overly focused on the risk and, without a way of measuring it accurately, they become overly conservative," Satchkov said in an interview.
Still other investors might think about risk, but only in terms of recent events. "Right now, when people think about risk, they will think about '08," he said. "And all other scenarios are not really present in their thinking."
In the real world, however, risk and return are not separate items—they are part of the same equation. "Risk is not some separate thing you can dial up or dial down," he said. "Risk is really a cost that you are paying to get the return that you need."
Portfolio crash-testing
So how best to identify the stress points in your nest egg? And equally important, what's the best way to address those stress points?
Satchkov likes to use the car-evaluation process as the metaphor to help explain how it can be done.
"Choosing a car," he said, "involves making trade-offs between performance (speed, handling, and the like) and safety," (usually crash tests by an organization such as the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety), he said. "The goal is to get the appropriate balance between the two."
Just as car crash tests have categories of frontal, side, rear, and rollover, portfolio crash tests have categories of scenarios, such as inflation, stock market crash, the tapering of the Federal Reserve's qualitative easing program, recovery, and the like. Some of the risks are ongoing and permanent, and some are transient and related to the news of the day, such as the crisis in Ukraine.
When crash-testing your portfolio, you should not select categories arbitrarily. Instead, you should determine which are the top 10 or 15 risks. "The idea is to focus on an event that could hurt you," he said. "Even if you think it's not likely, that's deceiving. If it can hurt you badly, more than you are willing to bear, then you should reconsider that exposure."
(Read Satchkov's paper on the subject, The New Paradigm of Risk Management, and watch his related videos, Do Not Trust Risk Models! and Do Not Trust Risk Models! Part 2 with Barry Schachter.)
In fact, to do this right, Satchkov said, you shouldn't stress-test the events that seem most likely to you. Rather, best practice would have you run 10 to 15 stress tests without assigning probability and plausibility. "There should be no prediction of specific events and certainly no timing prediction," he said.
In creating his list of crash-test categories for his portfolio crash-test service, Satchkov works with risk-management experts who determine which events are plausible and probable. Satchkov also suggests that investors avoid thinking about the recent past or recent news when contemplating the sort of risks their portfolio might be exposed to.
