Note:		The ratios of earnings to fixed charges were computed by dividing fixed charges into the sum of earnings (after certain adjustments) and fixed charges. Fixed charges include interest on all debt of continuing operations, including amortization of debt premiums, discounts and issuance costs, and the interest component of operating rents. Earnings include income from continuing operations before income taxes, plus net losses (earnings) in equity method investees, less capitalized interest.
