		<description><![CDATA[As part of the agreement, General Re admitted its senior management participated in structuring a sham reinsurance transaction and creating a phony paper trail to make it appear as though General Re’s subsidiary, Cologne Re Dublin, had solicited reinsurance from AIG when the evidence demonstrated that the parties knew AIG wanted the transaction to manipulate its financial statements. Additionally, General Re entered into a secret side deal whereby AIG would never have to pay any losses under the contracts; AIG would return to General Re’s subsidiary the $10 million in premiums General Re’s subsidiary paid to AIG and AIG paid General Re an illicit accommodation $5 million fee for entering into the transaction.

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this evening I had a meeting with the last four leaders I mentioned -- from China, India, Brazil, and South Africa.  And that's where we agreed to list our national actions and commitments, to provide information on the implementation of these actions through national communications, with international consultations and analysis under clearly defined guidelines.  We agreed to set a mitigation target to limit warming to no more than 2 degrees Celsius, and importantly, to take action to meet this objective consistent with science.

City National Bank's acquisition of all the deposits was the "least costly" resolution for the FDIC's DIF compared to all alternatives. Imperial Capital Bank is the 139th FDIC-insured institution to fail in the nation this year, and the sixteenth in California.
