On January 1, 2010 we changed our method of accounting for inventories in the United States, excluding supplies, from determining cost using the LIFO method to determining cost using the FIFO method, consistent with all of our other operations.  We believe this change is preferable as the FIFO method better reflects the current value of inventories on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and provides a uniform costing method across our global operations.  Prior financial statements were not retroactively adjusted due to immateriality. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle of $1 was recorded as an increase to cost of goods sold as of January 1, 2010.
