(11) Income Taxes

At September 30, 2011, we had a gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $11.8 million. We have recognized tax benefits associated with these liabilities of $10.5 million at September 30, 2011. These balances are unchanged since December 31, 2010. We do not expect that the total amount of the unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within twelve months of the reporting date.

We recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. Our liability for accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions was $1.0 million at September 30, 2011.
