Income Taxes	Income Taxes The effective income tax rate for income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operations before equity in earnings of affiliates and income taxes was 33.1% and 27.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and 32.0% and 33.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we released a foreign valuation allowance of approximately $2.8 million due to the emergence from cumulative losses in recent years and a return to sustainable operating profits, as well as projections of future taxable income. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 when compared to 2014, the increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily attributable to foreign rate differentials in jurisdictions with tax rates lower than the U.S. and non-recurring discrete items associated with the disposition of collateral solutions and field services businesses in 2014, partially offset by the favorable release of certain foreign valuation allowances. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, when compared to 2014, the decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily attributable to the release of certain foreign valuation allowances, foreign rate differentials in jurisdictions with tax rates lower than the U.S. and favorable discrete adjustments in our uncertain tax benefits, partially offset by non-recurring discrete items associated with the disposition of collateral solutions and field services businesses in 2014. Income taxes included in equity in earnings of affiliates were $3.1 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $5.5 million and $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
