Restructuring Activities	Note 8: Restructuring Activities In our fiscal third quarter of 2012, we implemented certain restructuring actions in response to the uncertain global economic environment. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized severance costs in our Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific segments of $6.7 million, $3.4 million, and $1.1 million, respectively. In addition, for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized other restructuring costs in our Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific segments of $0.8 million, $5.2 million, and $0.2 million, respectively. The other restructuring costs in the EMEA segment consisted primarily of contract termination costs related to our supply chain. Of the total severance and other restructuring costs recognized, $6.4 million, $10.0 million, and $0.9 million were included in cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, and research and development, respectively. We do not expect to recognize any additional significant severance or other restructuring costs related to these restructuring actions, and we expect the majority of the costs related to these actions will be paid in 2012. As of September 30, 2012, our accrued liabilities balance included $9.2 million of accrued severance related to these actions. We continue to review our business strategies and evaluate potential new restructuring actions. This could result in additional restructuring costs in future periods.
