Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Income tax expense from continuing operations was impacted primarily by certain losses from continuing operations being generated in jurisdictions where no tax benefit can be recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. These losses with no tax benefit resulted in a higher income tax expense on lower levels of income from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and negatively impacted the effective income tax rates for all periods in 2012. An income tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on technical merits. The unrecognized income tax benefit at September 30, 2012 was $38.2 million including interest and penalties. Within the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that up to $4.5 million of unrecognized income tax benefits will be recognized upon settlement of tax examinations and the expiration of various statutes of limitations.

Income tax expense from continuing operations was impacted primarily by certain losses from continuing operations being generated in jurisdictions where no tax benefit can be recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. These losses with no tax benefit resulted in a higher income tax expense on lower levels of income from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and negatively impacted the effective income tax rates for all periods in 2012.

An income tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on technical merits. The unrecognized income tax benefit at September 30, 2012 was $38.2 million including interest and penalties. Within the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that up to $4.5 million of unrecognized income tax benefits will be recognized upon settlement of tax examinations and the expiration of various statutes of limitations.
