Income Taxes
Note 11.     Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $3.2 million and $10.3 million for both the quarter and three quarters ended September 26, 2012, respectively. The provision for income taxes was $0.4 million and $1.0 million for the quarter and three quarters ended September 28, 2011. For the 2012 periods, the difference in the overall effective tax rate from the U.S. statutory rate was due to discrete tax items, including a $1.3 million out of period adjustment related to the reversal of a portion of the income tax benefit recorded in fourth quarter of 2011. We do not believe the out of period adjustment was material to any prior or current year financial statements or on earnings trends. In addition, a $0.8 million tax benefit was recorded. This benefit arose from additional state credits generated during the second quarter of 2012 related to prior years' activity.
