In April 2011 we sold our shares in IROC and recorded a gain on the sale of $4.8 million during the second quarter of 2011. Our foreign exchange loss (gain) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 relates to the impact on U.S. dollar-denominated transactions in our foreign locations from fluctuations in the strength of the U.S. dollar, mostly in Russia and Latin America.
