15.  Income Taxes  


The Company reduced an unrecognized tax benefit of $0.5 million during the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2013.   Before considering this discreet adjustment, the projected fiscal 2013 effective income tax rate as of June 29, 2013 was approximately 41.3% and 26.5% in the United States and Canada, respectively, and yielded a consolidated effective income tax rate of approximately 40.8% for the twenty-six week period ended June 29, 2013.  The Company estimated income tax rates of approximately 42.9% and 25.7% in the United States and Canada, respectively, which yielded a consolidated effective income tax rate of approximately 44.6% for the twenty-six week period ended June 30, 2012.  The relative income or loss generated in each jurisdiction can materially impact the overall effective income tax rate of the company.
