Fair Value Hedges
We have entered into various interest rate swap contracts to convert a portion of our interest rate exposure on our long-term debt from fixed rates to floating rates. The floating rates payable on all of our fair value hedges are benchmarked to LIBOR. A summary of our outstanding fair value hedges at December 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

Cash Flow Hedges
We have historically entered into forward starting pay fixed interest rate swaps, with the objective of eliminating the variability of cash flows in the interest payments on various debt issuances. These swaps have all terminated and no amounts were outstanding at December 31, 2013 or 2012. The unrecognized loss for all terminated cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive income was $32.3 and $35.3 at December 31, 2013 and 2012. As of December 31, 2013, the total amount of amortization over the next twelve months for all cash flow hedges will increase interest expense by approximately $5.0.
A summary of the effect of cash flow hedges on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

We test for cash flow hedge effectiveness at hedge inception and re-assess at the end of each reporting period. No amounts were excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.
