are fixed rate debt securities with underlying long-term
maturities, designed to reset to market rates when traded through a
modified Dutch auction process at predetermined short-term
intervals, typically 7, 28, or 35 days. These debt securities
actively traded at par previous to auction failures which began in
February 2008.</font></div><br/><div style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.25; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt" align="justify"><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">In
November 2008, we accepted ARS put rights offered by our broker,
UBS Securities LLC, entitling us to sell our ARS through
appropriate UBS entities at par plus accrued interest during the
exercise period from June 30, 2010 through July 2, 2012. The put
rights were a separate freestanding instrument accounted for
separately from the ARS. Upon acceptance of the put rights, we
reclassified our ARS from “available-for-sale” to
“trading” and elected to carry the put at fair value.
This election reflected the appropriate economic relationship
between the put and the underlying ARS as changes in the respective
fair values largely offset.</font></div><br/><div style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.25; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt" align="justify"><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">We

INVESTMENT
SECURITIESDuring
fiscal 2010, we sold our remaining portfolio of ARS and held no falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringThis item represents the entire disclosure related to Trading Securities (and certain trading assets) which consist of all investments in certain debt and equity securities (and other assets) that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term (thus held for only a short period of time) or for which an entity has elected the fair value option. Trading generally reflects active and frequent buying and selling, and trading securities are generally used with the objective of generating profits on short-term differences in price, but this category of investments may also include items which are not intended to be sold in the near term or for which the fair value option has been elected.Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef
