INCOME TAXES

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2014

Income Taxes

We calculate our interim period provision for income taxes based on our projected annual effective tax rate as adjusted for certain discrete items.

The table below shows our effective tax rates:



	Three Months Ended June 30				Six Months Ended June 30
	2014		2013		2014		2013
Effective tax rate	37.8	%	37.2	%	37.1	%	36.8	%

Our effective tax rate normally differs from the federal statutory tax rate of 35% due to additional provision for state income tax obligations. No other items had a significant impact on our effective tax rates during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, and 2013.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, there was not a significant change in our liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
