4.Income Taxes: The income tax expense for each period presented reflects effective tax rates of 39.3%, 31.2%, 38.0% and 33.7% for the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the first nine months of fiscal 2012 and the first nine months of fiscal 2011, respectively. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 and the first nine months of fiscal 2012 were impacted by losses in foreign jurisdictions for which we were not able to recognize an income tax benefit and a greater proportion of our earnings being in higher tax jurisdictions, which offset favorable discrete items, including a reduction in income tax contingency reserves upon the expiration of the corresponding statute of limitations totaling approximately $2.1 million. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 and the first nine months of fiscal 2011 were impacted by certain favorable discrete items, including the reduction of income tax contingency reserves upon the expiration of the corresponding statute of limitations totaling $0.2 million for the third quarter and $0.6 million for the first nine months, as well as the recognition of an income tax benefit for losses in foreign jurisdictions. Additionally, the first nine months of fiscal 2012 and the first nine months of fiscal 2011 reflected the favorable benefit of reductions of enacted tax rates in certain jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom.
