INCOME TAXES	NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, there were no material changes to our unrecognized tax benefits disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. We do not anticipate our total unrecognized tax benefits to increase or decrease materially within the next twelve months. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was 35.7%, down from 37.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was 35.8%, down from 38.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 reflects a higher proportion of earnings from our Canadian operations, which are taxed at a lower corporate tax rate, partially offset by higher U.S. state income taxes. We file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return with the Internal Revenue Service as well as income tax returns in various states and Canada. We may be subject to examination by taxing authorities in the U.S. and Canada for tax years 2010 through 2012. Additionally, we may be subject to examinations by various state and local taxing jurisdictions for tax years 2008 through 2012.
