Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	7. Income Taxes Our income tax expense of $17.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily reflects expense related to income taxes at certain of our foreign operations and foreign withholding taxes. Our income tax expense also reflects income taxed in foreign jurisdictions where we benefit from tax holidays. We maintain a valuation allowance on all of our U.S. net deferred tax assets, including our net operating loss carryforwards. We also have valuation allowances on deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions. Such valuation allowances are released as the related tax benefits are realized or when sufficient net positive evidence exists to conclude that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Unrecognized tax benefits represent reserves for potential tax deficiencies or reductions in tax benefits that could result from federal, state or foreign tax audits. Our gross unrecognized tax benefits decreased from $27.1 million at December 31, 2013, to $6.9 million as of June 30, 2014, primarily as a result of the application of a tax law change and the settlement of a tax examination in a certain foreign jurisdiction. At June 30, 2014, all of our unrecognized tax benefits would reduce our effective tax rate, if recognized. Our unrecognized tax benefits are subject to change as examinations of tax years are completed. Tax return examinations involve uncertainties, and there can be no assurances that the outcome of examinations will be favorable.

Our income tax expense of $17.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily reflects expense related to income taxes at certain of our foreign operations and foreign withholding taxes. Our income tax expense also reflects income taxed in foreign jurisdictions where we benefit from tax holidays.

We maintain a valuation allowance on all of our U.S. net deferred tax assets, including our net operating loss carryforwards. We also have valuation allowances on deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions. Such valuation allowances are released as the related tax benefits are realized or when sufficient net positive evidence exists to conclude that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

Unrecognized tax benefits represent reserves for potential tax deficiencies or reductions in tax benefits that could result from federal, state or foreign tax audits. Our gross unrecognized tax benefits decreased from $27.1 million at December 31, 2013, to $6.9 million as of June 30, 2014, primarily as a result of the application of a tax law change and the settlement of a tax examination in a certain foreign jurisdiction. At June 30, 2014, all of our unrecognized tax benefits would reduce our effective tax rate, if recognized. Our unrecognized tax benefits are subject to change as examinations of tax years are completed. Tax return examinations involve uncertainties, and there can be no assurances that the outcome of examinations will be favorable.
