DHS is working on a system to collect fingerprints from foreign nationals when they leave the country, but progress is coming very slowly. (Stock image)
The Department of Homeland Security will soon put the finishing touches on a plan for a biometric identification system intended to help track visa overstays.
Jim Crumpacker, director of DHS' Departmental GAO-IG Liaison Office, told the Government Accountability Office that Customs and Border Protection's Office of Field Operations and DHS' Science and Technology Directorate will come up with goals aimed at creating and implementing a biometric air exit identification system for use at U.S. airports by Jan. 31, 2014.
Get the GAO report.
The agency has been contemplating a visa exit system for years that would electronically collect fingerprints from foreign visitors when they leave the United States. Real progress on the system, however, has been glacial. In 2004, the commission that investigated the 2001 terrorist attacks recommended using a biometrics-based system to keep track of visa exits. In 2007, Congress gave DHS a deadline of June 30, 2009, to put such a system in place.
DHS missed that deadline but implemented a pilot program that year for a biometric exit system that integrated non-U.S. citizen departure information with existing arrival information. The Air Exit pilot, conducted at the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County and Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson airports, ran from May to July 2009. DHS then submitted a report to Congress on the test. In 2011, DHS' Science and Technology Directorate began researching long-term options for biometric exit. In May 2012, DHS reported internally on the results of S&T's analysis and made recommendations to support the planning and development of a biometric air exit capability.
Crumpacker's letter, included in a July GAO visa overstay audit, also said efforts to evaluate biometric identification systems across his agency have become more complex. Responsibilities to improve and enforce visa overstays under the U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology program have been split between CBP and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Crumpacker said DHS would establish a new working group to evaluate visa overstays with ICE in the lead.
The GAO audit found DHS initially made progress in reducing a backlog of 1.6 million arrival records that didn't have corresponding departure records, closing about 863,000 records in that backlog.
However, GAO said as new unmatched arrival records have accrued, DHS has had trouble keeping up. The audit reported that as of June 2013, unmatched arrival records once again totaled more than 1 million.

The Department of Commerce is revising its confidentiality agreement for statistical data survey respondents to reflect the fact that the Department of Homeland Security could see some of that data if it is captured by the Einstein system.
In a Feb. 17 memo, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis told senior leadership to establish teams to look for duplication across the armed services in business operations, including in IT and cybersecurity.
State election officials had more questions than answers after a Department of Homeland Security presentation on the designation of election systems as critical U.S. infrastructure.
The government desperately needs younger talent to replace an aging workforce, and experts say that a freeze on hiring doesn't help.
The Department of Veterans Affairs will test an internally developed scheduling module at primary care sites nationwide to see if it's ready to service the entire agency.
After missing in the last Congress, drafters of a bill to encourage cloud adoption are looking for a new plan.
What good does it do to have an exit program involving air transportation when it is simpy easier to fly into Central America or Mexico and enter the easy way, through our porous southern border?
Meanwhile visitors like the woman fromChina who defaced Lincoln Memorial and other valuable sites in DC are free to wander around unfettered. Even without a recommendation from 9/11 Commission this is a plain common sense homeland security measure that DHS and Congress are derelict in their duties for failure to get it done.
So are we running there finger prints when they come in to make sure they are not wanted any where on this continent? Need to check all data base here and abroad.

Continued investments and improvements in our wellness and healthcare strategy demonstrate
our commitment to reaching the Mohawk vision of having the healthiest and safest workforce
in the industry.
In North America, Healthy Life Centers (HLCs) and biometric screenings are the centerpiece of our wellness initiatives. Currently, we have 14 HLCs in our large facility areas that log more than 4,000 visits per month. In addition to preventive care, HLCs provide acute care, chronic disease management, preventive exams, pediatrics, no-cost employee medication programs, mobile mammogram screenings, pre-placement examinations, wellness coaching and integrated care coordination with primary care physicians. We also are piloting an on-site coaching program in Muskogee, Oklahoma, with HLC providers and exploring telemedicine opportunities, supported by HLCs, to service remote rural areas.
Through our biometric screening program, employees are encouraged to know their numbers. Biometric screenings focus on body mass index, blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Knowing these numbers can be indicators of any health risks, issues or concerns. HLC providers and staff play a key role in care coordination for our employees.
All of our locations have seen an increase in participation and in the overall health of participants. For 2015, HLC utilization was at 80 percent, and preventive care increased 13 percent. Overall, our wellness initiatives have increased health engagement and helped to close gaps in care and medication compliance for individuals with chronic conditions. Though these results are impressive, the continued improvement in the health and lives of our employees is even more valuable.
Outside the U.S., our ceramic facility in Monterrey, Mexico, has managed a successful on-site health clinic for more than 25 years, resulting in a steadily declining absentee rate. In Europe, Unilin's "Feel Good" program is an effort to make employees more aware of their personal health through activities such as initial organized running and cycling outings, in addition to various nutrition programs.
Employee Benefits
In addition to our wellness centers, we offer to U.S. employees good benefits within a comprehensive package of insurance, retirement and other benefits for which we pay all or part of the cost. These benefits are available to any employee who works 30 or more hours a week, whether hourly or salary-based. Some of the benefits we offer include:
Our benefits programs outside the U.S. vary according to country, local market standards and employment contracts.
We offer our U.S. employees a consumer-driven health plan with a health savings account. CDHPs empower employees by allowing them to be actively engaged in healthcare decisions and treatment choices. The health savings account also offers tax advantages as well as saving options for future healthcare expenses.
As we continue to evolve our healthcare strategy to reach our vision, education and communication to employees play a key role. By helping employees understand key concepts and initiatives behind healthcare changes, they can make better-informed choices. We encourage our employees to live healthier lives, while continuing to make investments in resources to help them understand their options and make the best choices for themselves and their families.

The Cysteine molecule - rotatable in 3 dimensions
Start .. stop rotation
3 letter code: cys 1 letter code: C
Cysteine is an amino acid containing sulphur.
Like all amino acids, it has an amino group (-NH2) - blue with 2 white balls - at one end, and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) - grey, connected to red, and red and white - at the other end. Between these is the α- (alpha) carbon to which the 'R' group is attached.
Its 'R' group is -CH2SH, a methyl group with a thiol group (-SH) attached - yellow and white.
Cysteine can form disulphide bonds ( -SS- ) with other cysteine residues. These bonds form a strong covalent bridge between sections of the polypeptide chain and so contribute to the protein's tertiary structure.
Other informationCysteine is involved in the formation of keratin in hair and skin, nails and animal horn. These double bonds are disrupted by the chemicals and heat used in the process of perming hair.
Cysteine also plays a part in the formation of gluten in dough.

You can move this molecule in 3 dimensions by holding down the left button and dragging using the mouse.
If you have a central mouse wheel you can usually zoom the image in/out.
Right clicking gives a variety of display options.
Simply leaving the mouse pointer over one of the atoms will give information about it; the atom symbol, and some other less useful numerical information.

Maple Syrup? Gooood.
Rye-Heavy, 9yo Bourbon? Goooooooood.
Maple Syrup? Gooood.
Rye-Heavy, 9yo Bourbon? Goooooooood.
This is (at this stage) just a rumour.
But there are rumours, and there are rumours. I'd be inclined to say that I'm probably over 90% that this is happening.
I've now heard sufficient rumblings about it to make me comfortable in simply repeating what I can already find online (including a rather marvellous entry from the state of Florida that's clearly more focused on freedom of information than Ardbeg's Brand agency).
Our dedicated team of writers spends hours crafting tasting notes on thousands of whiskies. They work hard at developing the most apropos phrasing to capture a whisky—from its aroma to its taste, and everything in between. How do we do it, you ask? Well, we've created this little guide to give you an edge (and a window) into writing delightful and informative tasting notes for your whisky adventures and beyond! More…

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.1 /5 from 366 reviews
Internet spotty but so is most of Italy. Great hotel view and worth daily drive up mountain to get out of city smog. jacuzzi implies hot tub which there was not. I personally would not advertise it. That was one reason we picked this hotel to soak our weary limbs from traveling. We did not find it difficult to find and parking as easy.
We only stopped here for one night on our way back to the US. The drive to get here is rough -- in terms of the neighborhood and the narrow streets you're driving up. Didn't look like we were in the best area, but were pleasantly surprised once we finally arrived. So do not get alarmed as you drive - the place is nice and amazing value.
The staff was very friendly. The view was amazing and it was nice to have a restaurant on site.
It was a nice, spacious room for 3 adults, clean, comfortable bedding, with a real bath tub which is rear to have in Italy.nice neighborhood, nice city view from room with several pools,great restaurant in hotel, good food, reasonable price,,although is a 20 min. driving from center of city, it is real worth the driving.breakfast is good too.free wifi, strongly recommend this one.
Price right but too far from airport. Taxi cost as much as the room.

PlayStation Move Racing Wheel to steer you to PS3 driving success
PlayStation driving fans just got a new toy: the PlayStation Move Racing Wheel was announced at this year's E3 in Los Angeles.
The new gaming accessory transforms your PlayStation Move motion controller into the "ultimate racing experience", supporting any vehicle you choose to drive according to the electronics giant, it was confirmed at a press conference.
Available this autumn for $39.99 (£25), the PlayStation Move Racing Wheel will support upcoming racing games such as Little Big Planet Karting, in addition to PS3 racing games already available including Gran Turismo 5, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, BurnOut Paradise, MotorStorm Apocalypse, and more.
By slapping in a Move controller gamers will be able to steer their vehicle as if they were driving a car. For a bike pulling out the side bars will let you race it as if using handlebars - handy for Motorstorm.
For those who need it, you'll also get race car paddle shifters and motorcycle twist throttle controls.
Sony also says that you'll be able to feel the "intense vibration feedback of your vehicle as you trade paint with the competition".

So how do I decide which business hotel in Zermatt to book?
Typically, the most important factors when booking a hotel for business is price and/or proximity to your meeting, client, or event.
For Zermatt, the average price for a business hotel is $288/night. With prices starting as low as $31/night, you're bound to find something that works for you.
If you're concerned with proximity, we offer many great ways to help you make sure you're as close as possible. If you're on your desktop or laptop, the two easiest are probably by using either the Hotel Finder at the top of the page or the Zermatt map right below it.
If you use the Hotel Finder, just enter the address you'll be visiting and it will provide you with a list of the hotels near by. Then you can filter for all the features and amenities you're looking for. Make sure you find a room with free wifi, airport transfers, and a gym. Or don't. It's your room and only you know what you want. We're just here to make the process easier.
If you go with the map, you'll be able to get a much better visual on where each property actually is within Zermatt. Definitely look at this option if this is your first visit to Zermatt. Business trips tend to be hectic as it is - no need to waste time while you're there trying to figure out what's around you.
If you find yourself already in Zermatt, I suggest trying out our app. Searching becomes even easier since you can just tap a button to find all the business hotels "near me" in Zermatt. It's an awesome tool to use when you're on the move.
Finally, we highly recommend you use the reviews provided by our verified guests - fellow travellers that have actually stayed in the business hotels you're looking at in Zermatt to determine if the room you're considering is right for you (not only do we use our customer's hotel reviews, we also use Expedia's and TripAdvisor's!).

Coolest Barbie Cake 353
by David S.
(Rose Hill, KS)
My grand-daughter, Andrea turned 8 last month and I wanted to make her a Barbie cake. The result you see here. What you need to understand is I have NEVER done anything like this before!! I got online and hunted around for some examples, then just started designing.
The cake, from start to finish, took from around 10am Saturday until about 2am on Sunday. Everything you see in the picture is edible, except for the pink items on the bottom layer and the Barbie, of course. Barbie's clothing, however, is edible.
The cake took 5 cake mixes, 4 pounds of powdered sugar, 24 ozs. of mini-marshmallows, various food colorings, and A LOT of patience. The bottom layer is a 12" round cake, the dress is made up of 2 8" rounds, and a bowl shaped top layer. Each layer was swirl colored with pink and purple, white and purple, or white and pink. I used a lot of gel coloring to get very intense coloring. Between the layers is vanilla cream frosting mixed with strawberry fruit jam.
There is a crumb coat of frosting all over the cake. Then everything is covered by marshmallow fondant colored as required.
It was fun to do, Andrea was beaming, and everyone enjoyed it immensely.

Coolest Barbie 9th Birthday Cake 267
by Parvathy
(Abu Dhabi, U.A.E)
Hello Everyone. I came across this site just by pure chance.A ll the pictures and tips mentioned here inspired me so much that I just had to try it out. My daughter got so excited when I told her that I was going to make one for her 9th birthday. I read almost all the write ups in the site carefully and assimilated ideas from different cakes.
I used a Pyrex bowl for the skirt and a round pan for the base. The Barbie was my daughter's. I removed the legs and stuck it on top of the cake, then I started frosting and decorating. It took me almost half a day to do it, but then I did take breaks in between. I first frosted the cake using Pillsbury Creamy Supreme. I let it cool then I used whipped cream (white) and covered the whole cake. Then I divided the cream and gave it different colours (pink,blue,yellow....).
For the decorations I used my own imagination and VOILA the coolest homemade Barbie 9th birthday cake (according to my sweet daughter and her friends) was ready. It broke my heart to see it being cut though :-)

Coolest Barbie Ball Gown Cake 150
by Myiesha S.
(Los Angeles, CA)
This is my very first Barbie doll cake that was made for my best friend's 23rd birthday. Overall I'm pretty happy with the way she turned out. The cake inside is a butter cake iced with buttercream and covered with fondant.
The details on her skirts were made using an embosser. You know those little roller cutters than can also imprint your fondant. I absolutely love it. it just gives your fondant designs an extra touch of detail. I never make a bow with out it. And I love making bows.
First I did the bottom ruffles of the skirt by using my ribbon cutter and then I used a ball tool to soften the edges. I then rolled out the white fondant for the front of her dress. I placed 3 dowel rods underneath and let it sit for about 30 mins so the pleats would set. I then laid the pink fondant making sure it draped really nicely like a gown. She also had a train.

"The Relation of Standard (Basal) Energy Metabolism to Total Fresh Weight of Living Organisms," by A. M. Hemmingsen
"Splitting of Energy-Rich Phosphate Bonds," by T. Rosenberg
"Clinical Vascular Symptoms in Patients with Juvenile Diabetes Mellitus After at Least 15 Years' Duration," by E. D. Bartels and J. E. Poulsen
"Insulin Allergy and Insulin Resistance," by M. V. Jarlov
A list of papers published from the Steno Memorial Hospital and Nordisk Insulinlaboratorium since the preceding list in Volume 1, 1946, but not appearing in these "Reports."
A dramatic conclusion resulting from Dr. Hemmingsen's contemplation of energy metabolism is that if a homothermal animal weighing 3 tons were to have the same standard energy metabolism per kilogram of body weight as a rat its surface temperature would have to be above the boiling point of water.

Rap Snacks, submitted by Hamburgula. Have a hankerin' for some true hip-hop flavah but don't especially feel like licking the back of a rapper named Snoop Master Qube to get it? Ever hear a rhyme so dope you wanted to stick it in some onion dip and crunch it around in your mouth? Well, you're in luck, because the music of the streets is now available in potato chip format. Introducing… RAP SNACKS!
You'd think after the Nintendo Breakfast Cereal, Urkel-O's, and New Kids on The Block pasta, people would think twice before producing junk like this. Sigh.
In the near future Rap Snacks Company will be administering a 900 number for artist to show off there skills. Coming before March 2001
I think I speak for the general population when I say, "no really, take your time with this 900-number thing, guys. Don't rush on our behalf."
Liberals want to mess with the rooms where we poo and pee. Unacceptable. We must protect our poo and pee.
More fake science from the mainstream scientists: Dr. Schrodinger claims cat is dead, but cat is alive and a dog.
These all just look like normal cats to me.
From what I understand, this genre is about getting eaten by crocodiles. I excel at this.
Ah yeah, that's the stuff

La Follette School of Public Affairs Working Paper No. 2015-002
The concept of fiscal multipliers is examined, in the context of the major theoretical approaches. Differing methods of calculating multipliers are then recounted (structural equations, VAR, simulation). The sensitivity of estimates to conditioning on the state of the economy (slack, financial system) and policy regimes (exchange rate system, monetary policy reaction function) is discussed.

All Entries in the "Quarterly conference calls" Category
Q&A: Be wary of over reliance on nurse practitioners for documentation
Q: We are getting pressure from our othopods to send all queries to their nurse practitioner (NP). Our facility bylaws allow NPs to function independently and they are allowed to answer queries without co-signature, so we routinely send queries to NPs who are caring for patients and we have great success with them.
The difference here is that the orthopods want us to send all queries to their NP, even if he/she is not caring for the patient. The ACDIS/AHIMA query guidelines tell us to query the provider that documented whatever needs clarification (though because we have a team approach with hospitalists, we often query the attending caring for the patient now, not necessarily the documenting provider). Our coding department has said they will not accept query responses from a non-treating provider. What do you think?
A: I have seen this happen at a number of facilities. They are using the NP/PA to do the "dirty work." There are varying opinions on this:
- NP will become very good at documentation and become your best friend
- Queries will get answered in a timely manner
- If they are going to respond to queries they must see the patient. If not, they are a potential liability for the medical group and hospital.
I also wanted to respond to the group regarding who/where you can obtain documentation from:
- Pathology = no
- Echo = no
- Radiologist = no (however, CDI/coding can pull the specific fracture site and/or vessel sites directly from reports as long as the diagnosis is stated in the H & P/PN/Consult/ER, etc.
- EKG = no
- Cath report = yes
However, remember that in a query you can "refer" to that information.
Editor's note: Deanne Wilk, BSN, RN, CCS, CDI Manager at Penn State Health in Hershey answered this question. Make sure to work with your facility compliance and coding departments in incorporating any recommendations as advice provided is general in nature. Contact Wilk at email@example.com.
A Note from the Associate Director: Quarterly Conference Call highlights new ICD-10-PCS concerns
By: Melissa Varnavas
More than 700 ACDIS members registered to participate in last week's ACDIS Quarterly Conference Call. The calls, part of ACDIS membership benefits, features members of the Advisory Board who present on timely issues of the day and respond to participants' pre-submitted questions.
The February 18 agenda included:
- Capturing appropriate risk adjustments for total documentation integrity
- ICD-10 unspecified codes
- Comparison of onsite versus remote CDI staffing models
- CDI reviews for risk-adjusted payment methods (outpatient CDI efforts)
A discussion around ICD-10-CM/PCS codes resulted in the greatest amount of feedback from both the Advisory Board and the general membership participants both during and after the call. One pre-submitted question asked:
"What is ACDIS' opinion regarding the new ICD-10-PCS inclusion of arterial lines as a surgical procedure? Some experts say it is a valid procedure, others say it is not."
"Unfortunately in ICD-10-PCS, central lines/PICC Lines, and arterial lines do not have a default code because of the specificity of the code set," says ACDIS Advisory Board member Anny P. Yuen, RHIA, CCS, CCDS, CDIP, director of ambulatory CDI for Enjoin.
Coders require documentation of where the line ends, along with the intent of its use, in order to select the accurate body part and device within the ICD-10-PCS tables, Yuen says.
A number of minor proceedures which may not have been considered surgical in ICD-9 are coding to surgical procedures in ICD-10-PCS, resulting in the assignment of higher paying surgical DRGs. In fact, members of the Advisory Board have encountered enough of them to warrant a larger discussion and prompted them to create a poll to determine how the CDI community has been handling these discrepancies (please take a moment to participate in the poll).
"Last week, this very topic came up at our health system and I've had conversations with our coders and coding leadership about it," says Advisory Board member Sam Antonios, MD, FACP, FHM, CCDS,CDI and ICD-10 physician advisor at Via Christi Health in Wichita, Kansas. "ICD-10-PCS is brand new and has never been used before, so it is not surprising that things like this will pop-up. However, we live in the real world with real patients and real money. So any irregularities created by the inherent current imperfections will affect real claims."
Although it is beyond the scope of the Advisory Board to offer definitive regulatory advice on how to code these procedures, it did acknowledge that discrepancies exist and plans to raise this issue to regulatory authorities.

Q&A: How to determine an appropriate physician query response rate
Q: I enjoyed listening to the ACDIS quarterly conference call in May. Someone on the call stated they have a physician response rate of 95%. That caused me to wonder what the typical time frame for physician response might be; ours is 48 hours after discharge. I have heard some facilities give two weeks and some give up to 30 days, so I am wondering if there is some standard there
A: Different facilities structure their programs differently. Many have no policy in place regarding expectations related to the timing of the physician's response. That said, the most successful programs do set expectations typically of about 72 hours, and indicate on the query form, itself, that a response is expected within that time frame.
The goal is to have a high query response rate within that 72 hour time frame. In other words, there is a difference between an organization with a 95% response rate where the queries are closed within 72 hours and one that has a 95% response rate, but the queries are left open indefinitely. Best practice would be to resolve any open query before billing.
Few organizations will hold a claim for 30 days pending a query response, which can result in a re-billing situation if the query response changes the DRG assignment. An effective CDI department can positively impact bill hold times as they work to resolve open queries so the record is complete for coding within days of discharge. Most organizations have a bill hold goal of three to five days. Be sure to address how long a query can remain "open" or awaiting a response within your CDI program policies and procedures.
One of the most important aspects of tracking physician responses is to determine which physicians need extra support and education regarding the importance of CDI efforts. An internal escalation process (such as the samples recently published in the CDI Journal) may be another way to address habitual non-responders. Be sure to get hospital and physician leadership support for your deadlines and share them with the medical staff.
Also, you need to know if your organization voids those queries that no longer impact the DRG. For example, if a CDI specialist leaves a query for a CC but a different CC was coded, that query would be "voided" in some organizations. Then, when calculating your response rates you'd also have to void or remove those queries from the calculation so rather than a non-response counting against the query rate, that particular query would be removed from the equation. Additionally, some organizations "close" a CDI query and "open" a coder query when a patient is discharged if their coding department then follows up on the query so that can impact response rates as well by lowering the CDI response rate.
As you can see, there are a lot of factors to consider when calculating a query response rate so it is difficult to compare organizations without knowing how long queries can remain "open" awaiting a response and what query resolution processes are in place. Remember the value of the CDI department is in issuing queries to clarify incomplete, vague or missing documentation so query resolution should be a prominent task within the CDI role.
Quarterly Conference Call for members May 9
ACDIS members are invited to participate in a Quarterly Conference Call taking place today, Thursday, May 9, from 1-2 p.m. (EST). Dial-in instructions were sent via email to ACDIS members. If you did not receive your dial-in instructions please email email@example.com for information.

By: Kanika SaigalEuromoney Skew Published on: Tuesday, October 2, 2012 Everything you wanted to know about banking sector capitalization relative to GDP in non-crisis economics – but were too afraid to ask, courtesy of Citi. Print Order Share Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on linkedin Share on googleplus It's a perfect cocktail: the developed-world crisis rages for almost half a decade while emerging market growth outperforms. In this context, investors have been willing to pay through the nose for emerging market banking stocks in recent years historically the easiest way to gain exposure to macroeconomic growth. But are there any banking bubbles appearing in these relative safe havens? Are some investors paying too much for safer exposure? By comparing emerging market banks, specifically those in the Bric countries, Citi analysts offer a top-down look at the data for investors to make up their own minds. According to Citi, during the past year there has been a notable decline in Bric banks' market capitalization relative to GDP. The recent softening in economic growth combined with credit-quality concerns has helped to skim the froth out of valuations in banking stocks in China and Brazil especially, which were stretched in March 2010. China had one of the largest banking sectors relative to GDP in 2009, with a bank market capitalization to GDP of c30%. Based on current values, however, Chinas bank sector market capitalization to GDP has dropped to c18%. The other Bric economies have followed a similar pattern: Source: Citi The debate surrounding whether there will be a hard landing there or not has affected the share price of banks: ... bank share price de-rating has been driven by numerous investor-concerns including (1) asset-quality fears, (2) slowing GDP growth, (3) interest rate liberalization and related NIM pressure, (4) political headwinds including fears that the government thinks banks are over-earning and (5) disintermediation and the growth in shadow banking. The actual banking earnings in China have moved largely in line with GDP in the past couple of years but despite this there has been an almost one-third decline in market capitalization relative to GDP. The decline in Bric banking market capitalization relative to GDP: "... is largely due to multiple de-rating. All four of the Brics banking systems have experienced a PE multiple contraction in the past couple of years. Chinese banks shares, for instance, have declined from trading at c10x 2010 earnings to 6x 2012E earnings. Other Bric banking systems have similarly de-rated with their PE multiples dropping from 2010 to 2012. The picture is more varied if we look at earnings-to-GDP trends: they are relatively stable for China and India, up materially for Russia (driven by Sberbank) and down marginally for Brazil. By contrast, among the current crop of the largest banking systems relative to GDP, Australia and Canada have had stable PE multiples and rising earnings/GDP.... ... The weak performance of Chinese and Brazilian bank shares has had a marked impact on the performance of regional bank-share aggregates: 2012 year-to-date, Latin America is the worst-performing region in the world, with Asia (ex Japan) only marginally ahead. The weak performance of Latin American bank shares ytd is driven by markets such as Brazil and Chile more than offsetting a very strong performance by the Mexican sector. Asias poor ytd bank stock performance is largely driven by the weakness of China offsetting the rebound in India. In contrast to the weak performance by many large emerging markets ytd, Australia is the second best-performing region in the world for bank shares, trailing only the US." Even with a recent sell-off, banking stocks in China have relatively high PE ratios, as well as EM counterparts Malaysia and Peru. Underscoring investor desire to pay up for exposure to non-crisis economies, the market capitalization of the listed banking sectors in Australia and Canada have jumped relative to these economies' GDP : Source: Citi So, are there any reasonably priced banking sectors right now? Citi's conclusion: "Firstly, the developed markets of Australia and Canada that today have higher bank market capitalization-to-GDP ratios than the Brics and have also maintained their bank equity value relative to economic size relatively constant. Secondly, several of the previously smaller EM bank sectors have seen material increases in equity value, most notably Mexico (+4ppt to c15%, 2010-12) and Nigeria (+5ppt, 2010-12). The only other notable EM banking sector where equity values outpaced GDP growth was the Philippines (+1ppt to c14%, 2010-12). And finally... Japanese bank market capitalization is equivalent to c5% of GDP and Italys c4%." To receive similar stories, sign up for Regions and emerging markets emails.

It is a solid shape and the smaller wires do not move. It comes in either a polished silver finish or oxidized finish, this has been blackened then polished to bring out the textured surface. Suitable for a man or a woman. Please choose oxidized or polished finish and state ring size.
