"Your ETR newsletter is great - but it seems to be for earners and those that are employed. My husband and I are starting again now, as our business has just failed. We have 6-10 months of rent left and 3 small children.

I love the movie business. (You already know that from reading some of my articles in past issues of ETR.) I've even produced a feature film. So I happen to know a few people in the "biz." And a recent encounter reminded of a powerful persuasion technique that can apply to almost any situation.

A "kerfuffle" (ker-FUH-ful) is a disorderly outburst or commotion. Example (as used by Don Hauptman today): "Last year, a kerfuffle erupted over Sen. Joseph Biden’s presumably well-intentioned characterization of Sen. Barack Obama, against whom he was then competing for the Democratic presidential nomination."

Strength and muscle mass are two of the most important components for healthy living in older folks. If you don’t have strength, every activity is going to be harder than it should be. So you’ll be happy to know that there are two nutritional supplements that can help you build strength, no matter how old you are.

Think you’re saving the planet by being a careful consumer? Think again. Ninety-nine percent of products labeled "green" - as in environmentally friendly - do not live up to that title. That’s according to a recent study done by TerraChoice Environmental Marketing.

A "trope" (TROPE) - from the Greek for "turn" - is a word or phrase used in a way that changes its meaning from literal to figurative. (Metaphors, similes, and other figures of speech are tropes.) Example (as used by Daniel Patterson in The New York Times): "Few things capture summer’s carefree spirit like a perfect piece of fruit. Eating berries off the vine, still warm from the sun, is a pastoral trope."

Yesterday was a nightmare travel day. I got stuck in the Aspen airport due to a delayed flight. When I landed in Denver, I had to make a mad - and I mean MAD! - dash from one end of the airport to the other.

Economists really stink at predicting one of the most important events they track: Recessions. A recent study of 60 recessions that hit various countries in the 1990s found that only 3 percent of "consensus forecasts" (as they’re known in financial circles) made by groups of economists correctly predicted one of those recessions a year in advance. And when they did see one coming, they underestimated its severity by a long shot.
