Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 10 – Income Taxes For the nine months ended September 28, 2013, our effective tax rate was 28.3% compared to 31.3% for the prior year period. During the third quarter of 2013, we concluded that it is more likely than not that certain deferred tax assets related to tax loss carryforwards originating outside the United States, which had been previously reserved, will be realized. As a result, our provision for income taxes includes a $13.4 million reduction of the valuation allowance which is based on an estimate of future taxable income available to be offset by the tax loss carryforwards. Absent the effects of the reduction of this valuation allowance in the third quarter of 2013, our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 28, 2013 would have been 31.1% as compared to our actual effective tax rate of 28.3%. The remaining difference between our effective tax rates and the federal statutory tax rates for both periods primarily relates to state and foreign income taxes and interest expense. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 28, 2013 was approximately $49.6 million, all of which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. It is expected that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next 12 months; however, we do not expect the change to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. The total amounts of interest and penalties, which are classified as a component of the provision for income taxes, were approximately $9.8 million and $0, respectively, for the nine months ended September 28, 2013. The tax years subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions include the years 2009 and forward by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, the years 1997 and forward for certain states and the years 2005 and forward for certain foreign jurisdictions.

Note 10 – Income Taxes

For the nine months ended September 28, 2013, our effective tax rate was 28.3% compared to 31.3% for the prior year period. During the third quarter of 2013, we concluded that it is more likely than not that certain deferred tax assets related to tax loss carryforwards originating outside the United States, which had been previously reserved, will be realized. As a result, our provision for income taxes includes a $13.4 million reduction of the valuation allowance which is based on an estimate of future taxable income available to be offset by the tax loss carryforwards.

Absent the effects of the reduction of this valuation allowance in the third quarter of 2013, our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 28, 2013 would have been 31.1% as compared to our actual effective tax rate of 28.3%. The remaining difference between our effective tax rates and the federal statutory tax rates for both periods primarily relates to state and foreign income taxes and interest expense.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 28, 2013 was approximately $49.6 million, all of which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. It is expected that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next 12 months; however, we do not expect the change to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The total amounts of interest and penalties, which are classified as a component of the provision for income taxes, were approximately $9.8 million and $0, respectively, for the nine months ended September 28, 2013.

The tax years subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions include the years 2009 and forward by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, the years 1997 and forward for certain states and the years 2005 and forward for certain foreign jurisdictions.
