Our effective tax rate was 28.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and was 41.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The change was primarily due to the recognition and measurement of previously unrecognized tax benefits, which is considered a discrete item for tax provision purposes for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The recognition and measurement of these tax benefits was the result of a favorable settlement of an income tax examination conducted by the Internal Revenue Service.
