We have read your non-GAAP disclosures that were furnished in the Form 8-K filed on February 8, 2006. Please explain to us how have complied with Item 10(e)(1)(i)(A) of Regulation S-K when presenting "Adjusted earnings per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2005" within the "Key Financial Highlights" section of your earnings release. In this regard, it does not appear that you have disclosed, with equal or greater prominence, the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. 2. We note no substantive disclosure that addresses the disclosures in Questions 8 and 9 of the Frequently Asked Questions Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures. For example, your disclosure does not explain the manner in which management uses the non-GAAP measures and the economic substance behind that decision, why it is useful to an investor to segregate each of the items for which adjustments are made, or how your presentation enables an investor to analyze the additional financial and business trends. Further, you have not disclosed the material limitations associated with the measures or the manner in which management compensates for such limitations. Note that we believe that detailed disclosures should be provided for each adjustment to your GAAP results. Please explain to us how you have complied with this guidance.
