*  Operating income is a non-GAAP measure that is comparable to net income with the exclusion of capital gains and losses and the results of discontinued operations.  Operating income is used as an important financial measure by us, analysts, and investors, because the realization of investment gains and losses on sales in any given period is largely discretionary as to timing.  In addition, these realized investment gains and losses, as well as other-than-temporary impairment charges that are included in earnings, and the results of discontinued operations, could distort the analysis of trends.
