Income Taxes	9 Months Ended
Sep. 30, 2013
Income Taxes	(13) Income Taxes *Effective Income Tax Rate and Income Tax Provision* Our effective income rate from continuing operations was 24.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and was 19.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Our effective income tax rate for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 benefited from a favorable earnings mix, with earnings in jurisdictions with low tax rates and losses in jurisdictions, including the U.S. with high tax rates. The favorable factors were partially offset by losses and restructuring charges in jurisdictions where we did not have any tax benefit due to the applicable tax rate or valuation allowances. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 benefited from a retroactive reinstatement of certain tax provisions that were recorded as discrete items during the three months ended March 31, 2013. On January 2, 2013, the President signed the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, retroactively reinstating and extending the research and development tax credit and certain foreign tax provisions from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013. We incurred losses from continuing operations during the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012. Our loss before income taxes from continuing operations for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 was reduced by an income tax benefit of $48 million and $55 million, respectively (an effective income tax benefit rate of 4% in each period). The tax benefit for the three month and nine month periods was 4% because our net loss resulted from an impairment charge, substantially all of which related to non-deductible goodwill, with no corresponding tax benefit. Our tax provision for both the three month and nine month periods benefitted from earnings in jurisdictions with low tax rates and losses in jurisdictions, such as the U.S., with high tax rates, as well as favorable settlements of certain tax disputes totaling $2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and $12 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The favorable factors were partially offset by losses in jurisdictions where we did not have any tax benefit due to the applicable tax rate or valuation allowances. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2012, we increased our valuation allowances by a total of $36 million to provide for certain foreign tax credits and net operating losses that we currently believe are not likely to be realized. This increase in our valuation allowance was offset by a reduction in our unrecognized tax benefits resulting in no material change to our tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012. *Unrecognized Tax Benefits* We made payments to foreign jurisdictions of approximately $14 million (including $2 million of interest) during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, which reduced our unrecognized tax benefits. We have not changed our policy with regard to the reporting of penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits.
