Interest rate risk management
 
In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company terminated certain interest rate swap agreements that at one time had been designated as a hedge of interest rate volatility on floating rate debt. The amounts that had been deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income were amortized as additional expense over the contractual terms of the swap agreements prior to their termination. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized $1.9 million and $4.8 million of expense, respectively, related to the amortization of the balance in other comprehensive income.
