10. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2012 was 27.2% compared to an effective tax rate of 27.4% in the second quarter of 2011.  The lower current quarter effective tax rate is below the statutory tax rate primarily due to the result of more income earned in low tax jurisdictions.
