Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	12. Debt Senior Notes On June 25, 2013, the Company issued $325.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.625 percent ten-year senior notes due June 15, 2023 (previously defined as the “2023 Senior Notes”), resulting in net proceeds of approximately $321.3 million after underwriting discounts and transaction fees. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15th and December 15th of each year, commencing on December 15th, 2013. The 2023 Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company. Tender Offer On June 14, 2013, the Company announced a tender offer to purchase for cash up to $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 2017 Senior Notes and ultimately accepted for purchase $250.0 million of the 2017 Senior Notes (“Tendered Notes”) on June 28, 2013. Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture that governs the 2017 Senior Notes, the consideration paid to the holders of the Tendered Notes, which totaled $301.5 million, was calculated as the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest through October 2, 2017, discounted to June 28, 2013 using a reference U.S. Treasury security rate (0.625 percent U.S. Treasury Notes due September 30, 2017) plus 30 basis points. The holders of the Tendered Notes were also paid $3.9 million in interest that accrued from April 2, 2013 (the last interest payment date) through June 28, 2013. The Company recognized a $52.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt, which includes the tender premium paid ($51.5 million excess of the Consideration Amount over the $250.0 million face amount of the 2017 Senior Notes tendered), acceleration of certain deferred financing costs and original issue discount associated with the Tendered Notes, and transaction costs associated with the tender offer.
