Note 16: Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The accumulated balances related to each component of other comprehensive income (loss) were as follows:

	Foreign Currency Translation Gains (Losses)	Unrealized Net Gains (Losses) on Securities	Defined Benefit Pension and Retiree Health Benefit Plans	Effective Portion of Cash Flow Hedges	Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Beginning balance at   January 1, 2011	$510.7	$128.9	$(3,175.8)	$(133.9)	$(2,670.1)
Other comprehensive   income (loss)	(244.8)	(114.1)	(856.4)	26.8	(1,188.5)
Balance at   December 31, 2011	$265.9	$14.8	$(4,032.2)	$(107.1)	$(3,858.6)

The amounts above are net of income taxes. The income taxes associated with the unrecognized net actuarial losses and prior service costs on our defined benefit pension and retiree health benefit plans (Note 14) were a benefit of $383.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The income taxes associated with the net unrealized losses on securities were a benefit of $64.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The income taxes related to the other components of comprehensive income (loss) were not significant, as income taxes were not provided for foreign currency translation.

The unrealized gains (losses) on securities is net of reclassification adjustments of net gains (losses) of $54.7 million, $27.6 million, and $19.0 million, net of tax, for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively, for net realized gains (losses) on sales of securities included in net income. The effective portion of cash flow hedges is net of reclassification adjustments of $5.8 million, $5.8 million, and $6.7 million, net of tax, for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively, for interest expense on interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges.

Generally, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. For those operations, changes in exchange rates generally do not affect cash flows; therefore, resulting translation adjustments are made in shareholders' equity rather than in income.
