INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The effective income tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2014 and November 3, 2013 were 8.9% and 3.3%, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2014 and November 3, 2013 were 7.1% and 15.5%, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2014 and November 3, 2013 were lower than the United States statutory rate due to the benefit of lower tax rates in international jurisdictions where the Company files tax returns, the recognition of foreign tax credits generated from Warnaco integration activities and the benefit of discrete items related to uncertain tax positions. The benefit of discrete items for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2014 included the favorable resolution in the second quarter of 2014 of uncertain tax positions approximating $24.0 million in international jurisdictions, and of an uncertain tax position approximating $6.0 million related to European and United States transfer pricing arrangements. Partially offsetting these benefits were the impacts of state and local taxes. On May 14, 2014, the Company resolved for $179.0 million an uncertain tax position related to European and United States transfer pricing arrangements for which it had previously recorded a liability of approximately $185.0 million. The liability will be settled over three years. Accordingly, in the second quarter of 2014, the Company recognized a tax benefit of approximately $6.0 million and recorded a reduction of approximately $185.0 million in its liability for uncertain tax positions.
