Income Taxes:
Income Taxes: Income tax expense reflects effective tax rates of 73.5%, 39.3%, 45.0% and 38.0% for the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the first nine months of fiscal 2013 and the first nine months of fiscal 2012, respectively. The effective tax rates for all periods were impacted by losses in foreign jurisdictions for which we were not able to recognize an income tax benefit; however, the effective tax rates in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 and the first nine months of fiscal 2012 benefited from certain favorable discrete items, including a reduction in income tax contingency reserves upon the expiration of the corresponding statute of limitations totaling approximately $2.1 million. Additionally, the effective tax rates for each year to date period were favorably impacted by a decrease in the enacted tax rate in the United Kingdom in the second quarter of each year.
