		<description><![CDATA[In order to return value to its shareholders, the board of directors of ProAssurance Corporation (PRA) authorized a new program of $200 million to repurchase ProAssurance’s shares or retire outstanding debt, effective immediately. However, ProAssurance stated that the timing and quantity of the purchases will depend on market conditions and liquidity. Moreover, the share repurchases will be subject to limitations under applicable securities laws and regulations and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. In addition to this new authorization, ProAssurance had approximately $11.2 million remaining under a previous share repurchase authorization approved in September 2009. Also, during the third quarter of 2010, ProAssurance repurchased approximately 975,000 shares of its common stock for about $55.3 million.

		<description><![CDATA[We have downgraded our recommendation on American Physicians Service Group Inc. (AMPH) to Neutral. The company reported fourth quarter operating earnings of 96 cents per share, significantly ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 73 cents. Results reflected a favorable claims environment, strong policyholder retention and better-than-expected figures from the Financial Service segment. American Physicians continues to achieve excellent policyholder retention, approximately 90% in 2009, while the number of policyholders has increased around 19% year-over-year in 2009. The company, which already maintains a 15% share of the $407 million Texas market, is now focused on expanding its business in the $84 million Arkansas market and the $130 million Oklahoma market. These strategic initiatives augur well for meaningful growth. However, the soft pricing environment and the competitive conditions continue to pose ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are upgrading our recommendation on American Physicians Service Group (AMPH) from Neutral to Outperform. American Physicians second quarter operating earnings of 82 cents per share were significantly ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 66 cents. Results were driven by better-than-expected results in the Financial Service segment, strong policyholder retention and favorable developments from prior years. The company is also experiencing the benefits of the implementation of its cost containment measures. Though declining rate continued to partially offset growth, policyholder retention, conservative reserve position and capital position augur well for a solid growth path with the market recovery.
