Income Taxes	NOTE 12. Income Taxes As of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the total liability for income tax associated with unrecognized tax benefits was $1.5 million ($0.8 million net of federal benefit), of which $0.1 million ($0.1 million net of federal benefit) related to interest and $0.1 million related to penalties. Our effective tax rate will be affected by any portion of this liability we may recognize. As of the end of fiscal 2012, the total liability for income tax associated with unrecognized tax benefits was $1.9 million ($0.8 million net of federal benefit), of which $0.1 million ($0.1 million net of federal benefit) related to interest and $0.2 million related to penalties. We believe that it is reasonably possible that $0.9 million ($0.5 million net of federal benefit) of our liability for unrecognized tax benefits of which interest is not material and $0.1 million related to penalties may be recognized in the next 12 months due to the settlement of audits and the expiration of statutes of limitations. As such, we have classified these amounts as current liabilities. Our continuing practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a tax expense. Tax expense during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and 2012 related to interest and penalties was not material. As of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and as of the end of fiscal 2012, we had accrued $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. We operate stores throughout the United States as well as in Canada and Puerto Rico, and as a result, we file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various states, local and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to United States federal, state, local or foreign income tax examinations for years before fiscal 2008. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing or resolution of any particular uncertain tax position, we believe our reserves for income taxes represent the most probable outcome. We adjust these reserves, as well as the related interest and penalties, in light of changing facts and circumstances.
