During the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, we modified our segment reporting structure to more readily match our operating structure.  The following modification was made to the segment reporting structure: managed security services revenue and expenses moved to the Security and Compliance segment from the Services segment.  All historical periods have been adjusted to reflect this modified reporting structure.
