AIG: Financial Loser
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Bank of America (BAC) , was the loser among the largest U.S. financial names on Friday, with shares sliding over% to close at $32.68.
The broad indexes showed 1% declines, as apprehension over next week's election outweighed the announcement by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics that total U.S. nonfarm employment grew by 171,000 in October, which was way above the consensus forecast of 125,000, according to Briefing.com. Despite the job creation, the national unemployment rate increased to 7.9% from 7.8% the previous month.
The KBW Bank Index (I:BKX) was 1% to close at $50.09 ,with all but three of the index components showing declines for the session. The KBW Insurance Index was down over 1% to close at 125.02, as 21 out of 24 of the index components pulled back.
AIG's shares have now returned 41% year-to-date, following a 52% decline during 2011.
The shares trade for nine times the consensus 2013 earnings estimate of $3.51 a share, among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.
AIG late on Thursday reported third-quarter after-tax operating income of $1.6 billion, or $1.00 a share, beating the consensus estimate of 86 cents, among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. Earnings improved from an after-tax operating loss of $3.0 billion, or $1.58 a share, in the third quarter of 2011.
During the company's earnings conference call on Friday, CEO Robert Benmosche said "so for the year we've been able to buy back $13 billion of our shares, $8 billion just in this quarter alone." The company bought back most of the U.S. Treasury's stake of AIG common shares, and the Treasury said in September that it had fully recovered the $182 billion it had committed to stabilize AIG in 2008 and 2009.
The Treasury still holds just under 16% of AIG's common shares. Benmosche said on Friday that in addition to making the government whole on its investment in the company, there was "a combined positive return to the American taxpayers of more than $15 billion to date.
When asked about the company's plans for further deployment of excess capital, since AIG's total capital ratio was 20% as of Sept. 30, Benmosche said that "while our focus has been on share buyback up until now, our focus going forward on capital management, working closely with
Despite the improved bottom line and a great reduction in catastrophic losses through the third quarter, AIG's Property Casualty unit was showing underwriting losses, as the company boosted reserves for policies underwritten in previous period. The P&C unit's third-quarter underwriting loss was $441 million, improving from $532 million in the third quarter of 2011.

Until her illness, she was a member of two quilting clubs in Amarillo, having participated in many quilt shows. She also held membership in the Red Hat Society and was a member of Arden Road Baptist Church.
She was preceded in death by an infant son, Gregory Delois Harris; two daughters, Raye Ann Harris and Elizabeth Ann Thompson; a brother; and four sisters.
Survivors include two daughters, Mary Shannon of Placerville, Calif., and Debbie Frederickson of Hughson, Calif.; a son, Jessie Gayle Harris of Hot Springs, Mont.; a stepson, Melvin Thompson of Costa Rica, Mexico; a stepdaughter, Paula Anderson of Northern California; a brother, John Hammons of Coolidge, Ariz.; two sisters, Marylee Hammons Padgett of Medford, Ore., and Pauline Hammons Johnsey of Memphis; a sister-in-law, Thelma Lewis of Amarillo; nine grandchildren; and 13 great-grandchildren.

The East Greenwich Township Committee is considering asking for Mayor Fred Grant's resignation over his relationship with a prominent developer who is involved in a legal issue with the Gloucester County town, committee members confirmed Friday.
Grant, a controversial politician who last summer was charged with driving under the influence, came under scrutiny again this week when a photo of him in a bar with developer Ronald E. Zeck, Jr., appeared on Facebook.
Grant, a Democrat, is said to have spent the Fourth of July holiday weekend at Zeck's house in Sea Isle City, N.J., a person familiar with the matter said.

LONDON – A constellation of art fairs and exhibitions takes place throughout the capital in mid-October, headlined by Frieze London and Frieze Masters. Frieze London hosts 160 dealers in a new tent by Universal Design Studio. There is a special focus on solo presentations, ranging from multimedia work by the Conceptual art pioneer Brian O'Doherty, jointly presented by New York galleries P! and Simone Subal; to a provocative installation by hot young artist collective Slavs and Tatars at Raster Warsaw. Reflecting a wider trend, organisers have introduced Live, a selection of experimental performance-based works staged throughout the fair.
Across Regent's Park at Frieze Masters the atmosphere is more stately, but not stuffy. Visitors will find among the 120 galleries such diverse offerings as 17th-century Flemish flower paintings, Etruscan votive effigies, portraits by Francis Bacon and sculptures by Joseph Beuys.
In addition, Frieze has spawned a number of complementary fairs. The perennially chic Pavilion of Art and Design (PAD), capitalises on the lack of design at Frieze. For those seeking undiscovered talent, the Sunday Art Fair showcases young galleries in the cavernous Ambika P3 Gallery. For the most intrepid there is the Other Art Fair in the East End, exhibiting over 100 artists selected by a committee of artists. (Sunday Art Fair, 15–18 October; PAD, 15–19 October; Other Art Fair, 16–19 October).

P8620/B Ophthalmic Glasses
P8620 is a fashion statement, for which sunshine is not necessarily required, because these sunglasses enhance your natural radiance turning night into day. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of P8620in our 2015, and 2016 Porsche Design range.
The frame is specially designed for men. Sporting clear lines, New School Cool meets traditional quality.A rimless frame does not take centre stage, but scores with noble restraint, giving your appearance a touch of class. The mono disc look is simultaneously sporty and elegant. As the lenses are one continuous segment, the field of vision is not only maximized, but the eyeglasses are also a real eye-catcher. However, mono disc models are not available for prescription lenses. The noble metal frame allows for filigree lines and creates an extraordinary lightness in appearance. In addition, metal eyeglasses are virtually indestructible - strong, flexible and corrosion resistant. Brown is currently a trend colour and also an absolute timeless classic. The colour provides a nice contrast ratio between the skin and the colour of the eyeglass frame. Thus, the transition from eyeglasses to the face is harmonious and unobtrusive. You can rely on the guaranteed UV400 protection, for all the sunglasses in our shop.
The next shipment is on its way, so we will have your Porsche Design back in stock very soon. We hope the unbelievably low price will be a consolation for the short wait. If you buy at Edel-Optics you get the best price, because "in the sale" is our standard.

In Moscow, some creative competitors are making flakes of their own.
"It brought the kid out in me," said woman competitor.
Appearances Marketing and Promotions in Moscow has created a competition, and thanks to social media, everyone can participate.
"It ties us into the art-based community, and it's just fun," said Appearance Marketing Account Executive Elizabeth Prasil.
They're asking people to make their best paper snowflake and post a picture of it on their Facebook wall.
"I was aiming for it to come out right and not be cut in half," said competitor Christine Cavanaugh.
As you can see, the competition is pretty fierce. I tried my hand at making a snowflake, and it's not as easy as it looks.
"You're just going to take your top corner there, and you're going to take it down to the opposite corner, and then you're going to line up your edges," said Appearance Marketing Graphic Designer Robin Lopez.
After you have a square, just fold it into a diagonal twice and start cutting. Just don't chop off too much along the crease, because it will fall apart.
"There's no right or wrong way to make it," said Lopez.
There's not much time left to enter the contest. They'll be picking a winner on Monday.
If you would like to enter the contest, search "Appearance Marketing and Promotions" on Facebook, and post a picture of your snowflake on their wall.

Totally normal, because you are dehydrated. Your body just dumped its electrolytes. You need to find sources of sodium, potassium, magnesium, etc.
Also, eat whatever carbs you eat right before bed.
Hey guys... Have a look at this and let me know what you think:
Low Carb Diet Side Effects
This must be true because the magnesium helped me !!!

Totally normal, because you are dehydrated. Your body just dumped its electrolytes. You need to find sources of sodium, potassium, magnesium, etc.
Also, eat whatever carbs you eat right before bed.
Steak, eggs, potatoes - fruits, nuts, berries and forage. Coconut milk and potent herbs and spices. Tea instead of coffee now and teeny amounts of kelp daily. Let's see how this does! Not really had dairy much, and gut seems better for it.
Lotusberries, did you have any of these side effects, or do you feel that your experience was totally unrelated to this ? It would be good to know. Thanks.
What makes you think you have reactive hypogylcemia? Did you measure your BG? What you call reactive hypoglycemia is actually "false hypoglycemia," and is an imaginary state conjured up by low-carbers to rationalize VLC side-effects; they're basically saying you're not "keto-adapted" yet. False hypoglycemia is rare and is only possible if you are diabetic or prediabetic to begin with. You don't have false hypoglycemia all of a sudden. If you have it, you'lll have it from the moment you start low-carbing.
Plus, in a VLC/ketogenic state, your fasting tends to rise a bit to preserve glucose and put you in a state of insulin resistance physiologically, so it's difficult to experience reactive hypoglycemia.
What you have is a typical VLC side-effect. Just google heart palpitations, heart racing, VLC/ketogenic diet. The problem is not with you but the extreme and problematic diet that you're trying to implement without full knowledge.
Another vote against hypo-anything. It's the fluid dumping and possible stress hormones if you're new to this way of eating. I did keto and near-keto for three years and can totally relate to all of your symptoms. After about three weeks, once you've found good sources of electrolytes, this all goes away for most people. And drink LOTS of water, and for a quick fix salt for now. Ideally you want to eat a lot more potassium than sodium, but that's fine tuning for later. And do make sure you're getting enough CALORIES. Especially at first! The last thing you need is a caloric deficit while your body is upregulating digestive enzymes and learning to run on fat.
Definitely eat before bed, and try to take your carbs then. Maybe half a potato or some dairy. If that doesn't fix it, then drop this whole low-carb thing and just eat the so-called "safe starches" in normal amounts if your gut can digest them, etc. The heat flash, check with the Peat people, they love to talk about it.

Another vote for the loss of Mag and Potassium via water shedding from the lack of carbs. Try adding some trace drops to your water.
How many carbs are in these cooked veggies? "Lo-carb" doesn't mean no-carb. People start having problems when they go below ~30g carb/day. Looks like you went too low too fast.
lotus berries, may I ask what your carbs levels were/are?
5'0" female, 45 years old. Started Primal October 31, 2011, at a skinny fat 111.5 lbs. Low weight: 99.5 lb on a fast. Gained back to 115(!) on SAD chocolate, potato chips, and stress. Currently 111.
Hi. Thanks for all the responses and the votes
Before I started Keto I did have blood sugar problems especially my fasting. My mineral/vit supplementation was aleady good, and I had bettered my diet throughout the year, but I felt my diet was still hindering me. So here I am !
Thanks Chopped Liver, it does sound more like I had VLC (what does that stand for ?) /keto side effects. I went too fast and probably more importantly was not eating enough veggie carbs and not eating more frequently, like they say you should in the beginning. But I didn't know all of this, never read it anywhere. Thanks Oxide.
My blood sugar was normal during this too, and I did feel dehydrated, especially, when I'd have an 'episode.' I would run for water with a pinch of sea salt! But it really wasn't until I took the Magnesium that it went all away, every symptom, and I've been perfectly fine ever since !!!
So, Im thinking it was a combo of all these things, and especially dehydration. Thanks to those who voted for dehydration. Thanks Bobert.
So Chopped Liver, you think the Keto diet is too extreme? What other problems do you see with the diet aside from these we've discussed? Knifegill, you are no longer on Keto ? If so, why ?
I have been eating a rice cracker with butter and cheese before bed ! It seems to be working. I sleep all through the night. I am pinching myself because I've had insomnia for several years. This to me is the best thing I've experienced so far.
I would like to incorporate some carbs back if they are safe and don't spike my bs (blood sugar ). I think I saw a topic about that here several days ago on this forum, and will see what that is all about. I think that taking back a small amount, is not going to undo the diet, but will see.
So how are you guys counting your carb calories? Are you using some kind of counter ?
Glad you are feeling better and your diet is working for you, Lotusberries. Maybe some people need more carbs or can tolerate more carbs than other people. I guess we have to find our niche.
Thank you again everyone for your input !

A growing number of Latin American borrowers are looking to Mexico's debt markets – the most sophisticated in the region – to raise financing
The processor of molybdenum and rhenium has become a regular
borrower in the Tequila market as it raises cash for its local
subsidiary. Issuing there also helps it diversify its investor
base in a currency that has a well-developed swap market, Jorge
Ramírez, the company's vice-president of
finance, says.
When it debuted in the market in October 2009, Molymet was
just the second foreign corporate to do so. Spanish utility
Iberdrola was the first, with a 10-year, 1.5 billion peso bond
in 2008.
Since then, the market has taken off. Borrowers from Latin
America outside Mexico have around $1.8 billion worth of peso
debt outstanding, according to Dealogic. The deals are part of
a trend among Latin American...

Cartoon in U. of Florida paper ignites debate over whether a racial epithet can be used on campusBreaking News
The Independent Florida Alligator, the student newspaper, ran a cartoon last week that criticized West's statements by showing him holding a large playing card marked "The Race Card," and having Condoleezza Rice, the secretary of state, exclaim with scorn at West: "Nigga Please!" Since the cartoon ran, there have been multiple rallies against the student newspaper, with the latest drawing several hundred on Monday; the president of the university and other senior officials have condemned the cartoon and called on the paper to apologize for it; and there have been reports that students reading the paper on campus have had other students come up and grab the paper away from them, saying that it is racist.
In a statement published in the newspaper, Bernie Machen, Florida's president, said of the cartoon, "Such depictions reinforce hurtful and damaging stereotypes. They poison the ongoing struggle to overcome the racial barriers that divide our country, and give comfort to bigots who seek affirmation for their racism." He added that he and many students and faculty members were "disgusted by the image and discouraged that such an insensitive cartoon could be published in a newspaper that, while independent from the university, is written and edited by UF students."
The newspaper is holding its ground and refusing to apologize. In fact, it is going on the offensive, calling many of its critics hypocrites.

Makeover sparks jade revival
While there is nothing surprising about the prevalence of diamonds at an international trade fair for watches and jewellery, it is unusual for the understated jade to be generating as much buzz as it is this year, at the Hong Kong Jewellery and Watch Fair, which opens today.
Celine Lau Siu-man, director of jewellery fairs at CMP Asia, the event organiser, said that this recent rise in interest could be due in part to the announcement made by the Beijing Olympics organising committee last year that jade would be used in the Games medals. The reverse side of the medals would be inlaid with jade encircling the metal centrepiece stamped with the Beijing Olympics emblem, using white jade for the gold medal, a green-white jade for the silver and cyan jade for the bronze.
'Jade often has a very traditional, antiquated feel to it,' said Ms Lau. 'However, modern designers have been experimenting with different techniques and styles to make the gem appeal to younger generations.' This could involve incorporating small pieces of jade into modern designs, for example, or even using colours other than the traditional dark green.
Edward Chiu, chief designer and managing director at Edward Chiu Jewellery Art, said that he had been seeing immense interest in the black and white jade collection that he created. 'Unlike green, the black and white pieces are more contemporary and unisex,' he said. 'Its popularity could also be due to the fact that people can't easily purchase black or white jade, and often have to opt for onyx or other stones.'
The fair celebrates Hong Kong's reputation for skilfully crafted jadeite products and its location as a major centre for jade jewellery production with a gallery devoted to the gem. The Jadeite Gallery showcases a range of excellent jadeite products, and visitors who want to learn more about the gem can attend the Gemological Institute of America seminar on the Microworld of Jade on Saturday.
Other themed areas are also available at the fair, including pavilions specialising in diamonds, fine jewellery, gemstones, silver jewellery, pearls and even packing and technology. These themed pavilions make for easy browsing, 'allowing [jewellery buyers] to find what they need without difficulty', Ms Lau said.
The Diamond Pavilion is particularly staggering in size, with more than 120 diamond companies exhibiting in more than 250 booths in the Grand Hall, and potential diamond buyers are provided with a wide range of products and prices. Those looking to purchase large diamonds, however, would be hard pressed to find anything easily affordable on the market. Alfred Pong, director at Wing Hang Diamond, said that the rough supplies of large diamonds continued to diminish, and Ms Lau agreed that anything over three carats would be quite expensive.
Pearls are also attracting a good deal of attention at the fair, and Yvonne Pong, marketing director at Wing Hang Diamond, said that popular variations to look out for were the golden South Sea pearls and the irregularly-shaped Baroque pearls, widely sought for their scarcity.
Buyers will be happy to know that in addition to the themed pavilion, two pearl auctions are also held around this time. The 39th Paspaley Pearl Auction was held from June16 to 18, while the 40th Robert Wan Tahiti Perles Auction starts today and ends tomorrow.
The Hong Kong Jewellery and Watch Fair opens today at 10.30am at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre and is scheduled to run until Sunday. The exhibition area covers more than 40,000 square metres, and showcases products from 1,290 exhibitors in 33 countries and regions.

Recent reviews
Good 3.6 /5 from 114 reviews
The hotel website shows 4 niceish rooms. The room we had was disappointing, loose power cables all over the place, a camping wardrobe for clothes, a two inch gap under the room door. Windows that don't open. We minimised our time in the room, just wasn't pleasant. We chose it on price and Hotels.com recommendations. The bathroom ws ok, but the shower was poor. The bed was very noisy (plastic on the mattress). The wifi gave 0,06 mbps, completely useless for normal purposes.
The hotel was reasonably basic but for the price you can't really expect more. The guest house staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean. The location was reasonably handy as it was fairly close to a subway station, allowing easy access to the rest of the city, and also a short walk to the LGBT friendly area of Church Street.
Administration was very helpful, particularly when I was trying to obtain a an overnight parking pass.
just a quick over-nite business trip. I appreciated the low cost on site parking. The bed mattress could use up-dating, and maybe a better quality of blanket. The one supplied, while very clean, was really ust a loose throw blanket
Not worth the money much better options elsewhere
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Relief is shown by hachure with towns, cities, and major topographical features identified. Engraved in 1814 by J. and G. Menzies and issued as Plate no. 34 for Edinburgh cartographer John Thomson's 1817 issue of the New General Atlas.
John Thomson (fl. 1804 - 1837) was a Scottish cartographer, publisher and bookbinder active in Edinburgh during the early part of the 19th century. Thomson is generally one of the leading masters of the Edinburgh school of cartography which flourished from roughly 1800 to 1830. Thomson & his contemporaries (Pinkerton & Cary) redefined European cartography by abandoning typical 18th century decorative elements such as elaborate title cartouches and fantastic beasts in favor of detail and accuracy. Thomson's principle works include the Thomson's New General Atlas, published from 1814 to 1821 and his Atlas of Scotland. The "Atlas of Scotland, a work of groundbreaking detail and dedication would eventually bankrupt the Thomson firm in 1830. Today Thomson maps are becoming increasingly rare as they are highly admired for their monumental size, vivid hand coloration, and superb detail.

Sanford left the governor's mansion in Columbia on Friday morning in the passenger seat of a state security sedan. A day earlier, his spokesman said Sanford planned to fly to Florida accompanied by state security for the long holiday weekend.
The two-term Republican says he does not intend to resign. He and wife Jenny also hope to reconcile despite an interview during which the governor told The Associated Press that his Argentine mistress is his soul mate.
Jenny Sanford said in a statement Thursday that she may be able to forgive her husband, but true reconciliation will take time and won't be easy.
