The contracts held at September 30, 2015 have maturities through December 2016 and accordingly, all unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be recognized in current earnings over the next 15 months.  The pre-tax net gains on foreign currency cash flow hedges reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to the income statement were none and $0.8 million, respectively, for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and $2.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively, for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.  The corresponding tax effects of these transactions were recorded in provision for income tax expense.  As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were $0.1 million of unrealized losses and $1.1 million of unrealized gains included in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to foreign currency cash flow hedges.  The remaining $72.9 million and $52.6 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, in accumulated other comprehensive loss are related to cumulative translation adjustments.
