11.       INCOME TAXES

 

The effective income tax rate was 27.6% and 31.6% for the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The effective income tax rate was 33.8% and 34.6% for the first two quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The effective income tax rates in the second quarters and year-to-date periods of 2011 and 2010 were lower than the federal statutory rate primarily due to $30 and $15, respectively, of tax benefits from the favorable resolution of certain tax issues and the effect of state income taxes.

 

There were no material changes in unrecognized tax benefits during the first two quarters of 2011.
