(1) In April 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 145 "Recision of FASB Statements No. 4,
    44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections."
    As a result of this adoption, the (loss) income from continuing operations
    before income tax benefit (provision) has been adjusted to reclassify gains
    and losses from extinguishments of debt as other income (expense) rather
    than as extraordinary items for all periods presented.
