The liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $58.9 and $112.3 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and is included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The decline from December 31, 2011 to June 30, 2012 is primarily due to the effective settlement of audits and the sale of the Information Management business. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would affect income tax expense if recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements is $46.3. This amount includes interest and penalties of $17.8. It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease between approximately $3 and $10 in the next twelve months; however, actual developments in this area could differ from those currently expected.

The effective tax rate on net income from continuing operations was 16.4% and 13.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, compared to 25.7% and 26.1% in the same periods last year. The lower tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 is primarily due to a shift in the geographic mix of worldwide income and certain discrete items that were recorded in the second quarter of 2012.
