Income Taxes	Note 11: Income Taxes We recognized an income tax benefit of $20.8 million and $9.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The effective rate reflected in the provision for income taxes on income from continuing operations before taxes is 28.9% and (137.5%) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The most significant factor in the difference between the effective rate and the amount determined by applying the applicable statutory United States tax rate of 35% is the effect of changes in our deferred tax asset valuation allowance. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded net reductions of $5.2 million in our valuation allowance associated primarily with net operating losses in certain foreign tax jurisdictions. We evaluated and assessed the expected utilization of net operating losses, future book and taxable income, available tax planning strategies, and our overall deferred tax position to determine the appropriate amount and timing of valuation allowance adjustments. As a result of changes in our business, available tax planning strategies, and future taxable income projections, we determined that the weight of evidence regarding the future realizability of the deferred tax assets had become predominately positive and realization of the deferred tax assets was more likely than not. The tax rate differential associated with our foreign earnings is also a significant factor in the difference between the effective rate and the amount determined by applying the applicable statutory United States tax rate of 35%.
