As of September 30, 2011, $3.4 million was recorded in income tax payable as an unrecognized tax benefit which if recognized would decrease our effective tax rate. A reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits follows:

Total unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2010	$	—
Increases (decreases) in unrecognized tax benefits as a result of:
Tax positions taken during the current period		3,415
Total unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2011	$	3,415

All of our unrecognized tax benefit is due to the settlement with the United States of America that occurred during the quarter, as more fully discussed in Footnote 8, Commitments and Contingencies.
