INCOME TAXES 
Our effective tax rate was 15% and 36% for the three months ended January 27, 2013 and January 29, 2012, respectively, and 23% and 33% for the nine months ended January 27, 2013 and January 29, 2012, respectively. The year-over-year variances in the effective tax rates resulted primarily from the earnings mix between foreign and domestic operations and the passage of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 that retroactively reinstated the Research and Development, Work Opportunity and Welfare to Work tax credits.
