Income Taxes	13. Income Taxes The Company's effective income tax rates were 44.0% and 169.5% for the third quarters of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was higher than the Company's combined federal and state statutory tax rate primarily due to losses in foreign jurisdictions that provided no tax benefit. The Company's effective income tax rates were 40.8% and 92.8% for the fiscal year-to-date periods ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012, respectively. The effective tax rate for the fiscal year-to-date period ended September 28, 2013 was lower than the Company's combined federal and state statutory tax rate primarily due to the favorable settlement of a tax matter in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, partially offset by a discrete tax adjustment of $0.3 million recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and the effect of losses in foreign jurisdictions that provided no tax benefit in the fiscal year-to-date period ended September 28, 2013. The effective tax rates in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 and the fiscal year-to-date period ended September 29, 2012 were higher than the statutory rate primarily due to losses in foreign locations that provided no tax benefit. The Company has not provided for deferred income taxes or foreign withholding taxes on undistributed earnings from its foreign subsidiaries as of September 28, 2013 because such earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. The Company does not rely on these unremitted earnings as a source of funds for its domestic business as it expects to have sufficient cash flow and availability from its U.S. credit line to fund its U.S. operational and strategic needs. If the Company were to repatriate its foreign earnings that are indefinitely reinvested, it would accrue substantially no additional tax expense.
