Income Taxes:
Income Taxes: Income tax expense reflects effective tax rates of 40.7%, 36.0%, 43.2% and 37.8% for the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the first half of fiscal 2013 and the first half of fiscal 2012, respectively. The effective tax rates for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and first half of fiscal 2013 were unfavorably impacted by losses in foreign jurisdictions for which we were not able to recognize an income tax benefit, whereas the effective tax rates in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and the first half of fiscal 2012 were not as unfavorably impacted by our foreign losses. The effective tax rate for each period was favorably impacted by a decrease in the enacted tax rate in the United Kingdom.
