The amortized cost of our held-to-maturity investments approximates their fair value.  As of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, we did not have other-than-temporary impairment in the fair value of any individual security classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale.  As of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, we had unrealized loss on available-for-sale investments, net of related income taxes of $14,000 and $0, respectively.  Redemptions of investments in accordance with the callable provisions during the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, were $250,000 and $5.5 million, respectively, and during the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, were $13.3 million and $36.1 million, respectively.
