The increase in goodwill in 2009 is primarily due to the Company’s acquisition of Thar, which increased goodwill by $22 million (Note 6). In addition, currency translation adjustments increased goodwill by $3 million in 2009. The decrease in goodwill in 2008 is attributable to an $8 million decrease due to currency translation being partially offset by the $ 3 million of goodwill from the Company’s acquisitions of VTI and APG.   The Company’s intangible assets included in the consolidated balance sheets are detailed as follows (in thousands):   <table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="font-size: 10.0pt;
