In the second quarter of 2011, we recorded a $9.2 million impairment charge for certain assets held for sale at The New York Times Media Group, and a $4.2 million charge for a pension withdrawal obligation under a multiemployer pension plan at the Globe, which are both part of the News Media Group reportable segment.
