On a global basis, we have contributed to our defined benefit pension plans in 2011 substantially all of the $80 million required to satisfy minimum funding requirements. In addition, we have contributed approximately $250 million of discretionary funding in the aggregate to several of our global post-retirement benefit plans in 2011. We do not anticipate making any substantial contributions during the remainder of the year.
