Income Taxes	Income Taxes The effective income tax rate for the quarter and nine months ended February 24, 2013 was 22.3 percent and 23.0 percent, respectively, compared to an effective income tax rate of 24.7 percent and 25.7 percent for the quarter and nine months ended February 26, 2012, respectively. The decrease in the effective income tax rate for the quarter ended February 24, 2013 as compared to the quarter ended February 26, 2012 is primarily attributable to an increase in the impact of FICA tax credits for employee reported tips and the Work Opportunity Tax Credit due to a decrease in our earnings before income taxes and the impact of market-driven changes in the value of our trust-owned life insurance that are excluded for tax purposes, partially offset by a decrease in federal income tax credits related to the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act and the impact of market-driven changes in the value of our equity forwards that are excluded for tax purposes. The decrease in the effective income tax rate for the nine months ended February 24, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended February 26, 2012 is primarily attributable to an increase in the impact of FICA tax credits for employee reported tips due to a decrease in our earnings before income taxes and the impact of market-driven changes in the value of our trust-owned life insurance that are excluded for tax purposes, partially offset by a decrease in federal income tax credits related to the HIRE Act. Included in our remaining balance of unrecognized tax benefits is $0.5 million related to tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts could change within the next twelve months based on the outcome of examinations or as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations for specific jurisdictions.
