INCOME TAXES 
Our effective tax rate was 36% and 32% for the three months ended January 29, 2012 and January 30, 2011, respectively, and 33% and 31% for the nine months ended January 29, 2012 and January 30, 2011, respectively. The year-over-year variances in the effective tax rate resulted primarily from the CFG Consolidation Plan. The tax benefit on our share of CFG's charges was reduced by an adverse impact on our forecasted utilization of foreign tax credits from this investment. Reserves for uncertain tax positions of $10.6 million were released and recorded as a reduction of income tax expense in the nine months ended January 29, 2012.
