Income Taxes	Note 15 – Income Taxes Our effective tax rate was 63.0% and 23.3%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, as compared with the statutory rate of 35.0%. In the first quarter of 2012, our tax rate benefited from certain discrete items including the recovery of a valuation allowance charge related to the sale of the auction rate securities portfolio. In both the three month periods ended March 31, 2012, and 2011, our tax rate continued to benefit from favorable tax rates on certain foreign business activity. In 2009, we established a valuation allowance against substantially all of our U.S. deferred tax asset based upon the consideration of all available evidence, both positive and negative, using a “more likely than not” standard. As of March 31, 2012, we have concluded, based on this standard, that a valuation allowance is still appropriate against a significant portion of our U.S. deferred tax assets. Our accounting policy is to account for interest expense and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2012, we have approximately $1.6 million of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions included in the $18.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits, $10.9 million of which, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. We are subject to numerous tax filings including U.S. Federal, various state and foreign jurisdictions. Currently, the following tax years remain open to the possibility of audit, by jurisdiction - U.S. Federal: 2008 – 2011; various states: 2007 – 2011; and foreign: 2007 – 2011.
