12. Taxes
     The effective tax rate increased to 38.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from 38.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
     During 2011, the Company’s net unrecognized tax benefits for certain tax contingencies decreased from $1.9 million as of December 31, 2010, to $1.3 million as of June 30, 2011. If recognized, the $1.3 million in unrecognized tax benefits would reduce the Company’s effective tax rate in future periods.
     Income taxes paid for the six-months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, were $14.3 million and $15.1 million, respectively.
