Income Taxes	Note 7 — Income Taxes The income tax provision for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 was $16.1 million, including a net benefit of $6.6 million from the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions. The effective tax rate, excluding this benefit, for the third quarter was 27.2% as compared to 28.2% in 2015, as both periods primarily benefitted from favorable tax return to provision adjustments.
