Income Taxes	Income Taxes Our consolidated effective income tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was 28.7% as compared to 19.1% in the prior year quarter. Excluding the impact of discrete tax items, our consolidated effective income tax rate for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was 27.3% and 17.5%, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in the relative components of our estimated 2016 earnings, excluding discrete items, generated in tax jurisdictions with higher tax rates. Discrete tax expenses for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were primarily attributable to the recognition of liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits associated with tax positions taken in prior years.
