10      Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income consists of net income and changes in shareholders' equity from non-owner sources. For the three and nine month periods ended July 1, 2011 and July 2, 2010, the difference between net income and comprehensive income consisted primarily of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments and amortization of the effective portion of an interest rate swap that had been designated as a cash flow hedge.  The significant weakening of the U.S. dollar versus worldwide currencies drove the Company's currency translation gains for the three and nine month periods ended July 1, 2011.  The strengthening of the U.S. dollar against key European currencies drove the Company's currency translation losses for the three and nine month periods ended July 2, 2010.

The income on the cash flow hedge for the three and nine month periods ended July 1, 2011 and July 2, 2010 was the result of amortizing part of the effective portion of this cash flow hedge as interest expense (see "Note 13 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities").
