Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  The largest item affecting deferred taxes is the difference between book and tax amortization of goodwill and other intangibles amortization.    The Company’s effective tax rate was 34.3% and 35.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The Company’s effective tax rate was 35.8% and 34.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2015 is lower than the corresponding period in 2014 due to discrete period adjustments.  The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is higher than the corresponding period in 2014 due to the Company generating additional state tax liabilities following the acquisition of Henderson.
