INCOME TAXES	8)INCOME TAXES We reported income tax expense of $11 million and $3 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The tax expense reported for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 reflected higher earnings and that following the release of U.S.valuation allowance in the fourth quarter of 2014, we provided a full tax provision on our U.S. income. In the fourth quarter of 2014, we concluded that the positive evidence outweighed the negative evidence and that we can utilize our U.S. deferred tax assets before they expire. As a result we released a majority of our U.S. valuation allowance. The tax expense reported for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 related to taxable income of certain of our international subsidiaries. We have net liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits of $28 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
