Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The Company records income tax expense during interim periods based on the best estimate of the full year’s tax rate as adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant interim period. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate and any change in the estimated rate is recorded on a cumulative basis. The effective tax rate from continuing operations was 16.9% and 38.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 against the comparable period in the prior year was due to discrete events during the quarter, mainly the re-measurement of tax reserves, which resulted in a favorable net tax benefit of $4.3 million.
