Income Taxes	Income Taxes The effective income tax rate, provision or benefit, for income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operations before equity in earnings of affiliates and income taxes was 30.8% and 2.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to research and development credits, uncertain tax benefits and foreign rate differentials in jurisdictions with tax rates lower than the U.S., as well as, the prior year release of a valuation allowance recorded against certain foreign losses. Income taxes included in equity in earnings of affiliates were $2.4 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. For the purpose of segment reporting, these amounts are not reflected at the segment level but are recorded within corporate. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, due to the settlement of an Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") exam, we reversed $1.9 million of reserves related to the acquisition of MSB/DataQuick.

It is reasonably possible the amount of unrecognized tax benefit with respect to certain unrecognized tax positions could significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months.
