Potentially dilutive securities representing 1.1 million, 1.4 million and 9.9 million shares of common stock for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share for these periods because their effect would have been antidilutive.  The decrease in 2011 compared to 2010 of potentially dilutive securities is primarily related to the exercise of some of our stock-settled appreciation rights in 2011.  The decrease in 2010 compared to 2009 of potentially dilutive securities is primarily related to the partial redemption of our 3.0% Notes and the inclusion of the 4.875% Notes and 6.0% Notes in dilutive earnings (loss) per share.  The net income (loss) per share amounts are the same for Class A and Class B Common Stock because the holders of each class are legally entitled to equal per share distributions whether through dividends or in liquidation.
