Income Taxes	9 Months Ended
Sep. 30, 2014
Income Taxes	10. Income Taxes The Company’s effective income tax rates for continuing operations were 44.0% and 37.2% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and were 33.1% and 34.1% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The higher effective tax rate in 2014 was primarily due to the income tax expense associated with the Company’s share of a gain on the sale of a subsidiary business by its unconsolidated affiliate, StoneRiver, partially reduced by increased deductions resulting from federal tax planning initiatives and the favorable resolution of tax matters. As a result of this activity, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits decreased from $60 million at December 31, 2013 to $51 million at September 30, 2014. At September 30, 2014, unrecognized tax benefits of $40 million, net of federal and state benefits, would affect the effective income tax rate from continuing operations if recognized.
