Income Taxes	Income Taxes Our effective tax rate resulted in an expense of 31.4% on income in the third quarter of 2013 as compared to a benefit of 436.7% in the third quarter of 2012. On a year to date basis, the effective tax rate was 30.3% for the first nine months of 2013 as compared to a benefit of 297.2% in the first nine months of 2012. In the third quarter of 2012, our tax rate was lower due to certain one-time discrete items of approximately $50 million, the most significant of which was the reversal of the valuation allowance on the majority of our U.S. deferred tax assets of $46.6 million. In the first nine months of 2012, our tax rate was favorably impacted by certain one-time discrete items including a $1.5 million benefit related to the reversal of the valuation allowance resulting from the liquidation of the auction rate securities portfolio. In both 2013 and 2012, our tax rate benefited from favorable tax rates on certain foreign business activity as compared to our statutory rate of 35%. We are subject to income taxes in the United States and in numerous foreign jurisdictions. No provision is made for U.S. income taxes on the undistributed earnings of substantially all of our wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries because such earnings are indefinitely reinvested in those companies. If circumstances change and it becomes apparent that some or all of the undistributed earnings of our wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries will not be indefinitely reinvested, a provision for the tax consequences, if any, will be recorded in the period in which the circumstances change.
