Income Taxes	9 Months Ended
Jul. 01, 2012
Income Taxes	11. INCOME TAXES For the quarter and nine months ended July 1, 2012, we recorded an income tax provision of $4.2 million and $8.5 million, respectively. For the quarter and nine months ended July 3, 2011, we recorded an income tax benefit of $4.0 million and $12.4 million, respectively. The difference in our effective rate from the U.S. statutory rate of 35 percent primarily reflects state income taxes, tax credits, changes in the ratio of domestic and international pre-tax income and valuation allowances on both U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets. The effective tax provision for all periods was the combined calculated tax expenses/benefits for various jurisdictions. We file U.S., state, and foreign income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. The 2007 through 2011 tax years generally remain subject to examination by federal tax authorities, most state tax authorities and in significant foreign jurisdictions, and our federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2007 through 2009 are currently under examination. Each quarter, we reassess our uncertain tax positions for additional unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties, and deletions due to statute expirations. Based on anticipated settlements and federal, state and foreign statute expirations in various jurisdictions, we anticipate a decrease in the unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $9.6 million within the next twelve months. We establish liabilities for possible assessments by tax authorities resulting from known tax exposures including, but not limited to, international tax issues and certain tax credits. However, the outcome of a tax examination cannot be predicted with certainty. If any issues addressed in an examination are resolved in a manner inconsistent with our expectations, we could be required to adjust our provision for income tax in the period such resolution occurs and any significant proposed adjustments could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
