For the nine months ended 30 June 2011 and 2010, our cash contributions to funded plans and benefit payments under unfunded plans were $229.5 and $348.2, respectively. Total contributions for fiscal 2011 are expected to be approximately $247. During fiscal 2010, total contributions were $406.6.

Our supplemental pension plan provides for a lump sum benefit payment option at the time of retirement, or for corporate officers six months after the participant's retirement date. We recognize pension settlements when payments exceed the sum of service and interest cost components of net periodic pension cost of the plan for the fiscal year.  In the third quarter of 2010, we recognized a settlement charge of $6.3 ($3.9 after-tax, or $.02 per share). There were no settlement charges recognized for the three and nine months ended 30 June 2011.
