NOTE 20 – Income Taxes
 
Our effective rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 42.8% and 39.0%, respectively, compared to 40.8% and 41.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was increased primarily as a result of adjustments to our uncertain tax positions. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was reduced primarily as a result of the release of the valuation allowance due to realized and unrealized capital gains, which offset previously record unrealized capital losses.
