HighRisk was a program aired by the CBS television network as part of its 1988 89 United States network television schedule 1988 fall lineup . The genesis of HighRisk was a 1988 strike action strike by members of both the Writers Guild of America, East WGAE and Writers Guild of America, west WGAw against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers . Unable to produce regular, scripted series, programs such as HighRisk were put together to serve as replacements under fear of a 2 year lockout. The CBS 100 in house production featured highrisk stunts and jobs such as United States Border Patrol Border Patrol agent, automobile repo men, cave explorers, and thrilling roller coaster testers. Intended as a 2 year commitment, strike or no strike, HighRisk received unanimous condemnations and was cancelled in one night. There was no host.

HighRisk Books was founded in New York City in 1993, as an imprint of Serpent s Tail Press of London. Started by Ira Silverberg and Amy Scholder, who was then an editor at City Lights Books in San Francisco. HighRisk Books was dedicated to publishing innovative, provocative, and progressive literature. The publishing firm was united by its concern for certain subversive impulses, and in this spirit printed authors as diverse as William S. Burroughs , Tim Dlugos , Kathy Acker , Diamanda Galas, Robert Gary Indiana, June Jordan, Cookie Mueller , Lynne Tillman , John Giorno, Pagan Kennedy, Sapphire and many others. As a small press, HighRisk played an important role in providing a space for many emerging writers who would otherwise have found it difficult to get published in mainstream, large houses. HighRisk Books ceased operation in January 1997 because of disagreements with Serpent s Tail in London. ref http dlib.nyu.edu findingaids html fales highrisk.html The Fales Library Guide to the Serpent s Tail HighRisk Archives ref Notes references Category Book publishing companies based in New York Category Publishing companies established in 1993 ... more details

Unreferenced date October 2008 An insurable risk is a risk that meets the ideal criteria for efficient insurance . The concept of insurable risk underlies nearly all insurance decisions. For a risk to be insurable, several things need to be true The insurer must be able to charge a premium high enough to cover not only claims expenses, but also to cover the insurer s expenses. In other words, the risk cannot be catastrophic, or so large that no insurer could hope to pay for the loss. The nature of the loss must be definite and financially measurable. That is, there should not be room for argument as to whether or not payment is due, nor as to what amount the payment should be. The loss should be random in nature, else the insured may engage in adverse selection antiselection . Insurance is not effective for risks that are not insurable risks. For example, risks that are too large cannot be insured, or the premiums would be so high as to make purchasing the insurance infeasible. Also, risks that are not measurable, if insured, will be difficult if not impossible for the insurer to quantify, and thus they cannot charge the correct premium. They will need to charge a conservatively high premium in order to mitigate the risk of paying too large a claim. The premium will thus be higher than ideal, and inefficient. Passing of risk involves both party to the contract. The general rule is that unless otherwise agreed, risk passes with title. An agreement to the contrary may be either expressed or implied.

Skewness risk in financial modeling denotes that observations are not spread symmetrically around an average value. As a result, the average and the median can be different. Skewness risk applies to any quantitative model that relies on a symmetric distribution such as the normal distribution . Ignoring skewness risk, by assuming that variables are symmetrically distributed when they are not, will cause any model to understate the risk of variables with high skewness. Skewness risk plays an important role in hypothesis testing. The analysis of variance , the most common test used in hypothesis testing, assumes that the data is normally distributed. If the variables tested are not normally distributed because they are too skewed, the test cannot be used. Instead, nonparametric tests can be used, such as the Mann Whitney test for unpaired situation or the sign test for paired situation. Skewness risk and kurtosis risk also have technical implications in calculation of value at risk . If either are ignored, the Value at Risk calculations will be flawed. Beno t Mandelbrot , a French mathematician, extensively researched this issue. He feels that the extensive reliance on the normal distribution for much of the body of modern finance and investment theory is a serious flaw of any related models including the Black Scholes model and CAPM . He explained his views and alternative finance theory in a book The Misbehavior of Markets .
