        As a result of the full deferred tax asset valuation allowance maintained throughout 2009, 2010 and 2011, the changes recognized within other comprehensive income (loss) were recorded on a gross basis for all periods presented with regard to the pension and postretirement benefit plans and for 2009 and 2010 with regard to the cash flow derivatives. The change recognized within other comprehensive loss for 2011 with regard to the cash flow derivatives is net of a $3,224 tax expense resulting from the reclassification of the residual tax effect associated with certain interest rate swap contracts which expired on July 14, 2011.
