Changes in the funded status of our retirement plans and the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss.  The cumulative balances are net of deferred taxes of $31.3 million as of November 30, 2012, and $24.0 million as of
February 29, 2012.  In the second quarter of fiscal 2013, a $8.5 million tax benefit adjustment related to prior years was made to the effective portion of changes in fair value.  The adjustment is not considered material to any of the periods presented.
