(A)  For the year ended December 31, 2011, the deferred tax asset valuation allowance increased as a result of pension remeasurement, which is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, and tax credits for which no tax benefit could be recorded. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the deferred tax asset valuation allowance increased as a result of additional tax losses and tax credits for which no tax benefit could be recorded.  For the year ended December 31, 2009, the deferred tax asset valuation allowance increased as a result of additional losses and the recording of an additional $36.6 million in deferred tax asset valuation allowances during the first quarter of 2009 to reduce certain state and foreign net deferred tax assets to their anticipated realizable value.
