Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	NOTE 24 – Income Taxes In connection with discontinuing the business operations of SN Canada during the current quarter, we realized a $58.2 million U.S. tax benefit due to a realized loss on our investment in SN Canada. The reduction in the financial statement carrying amount, which was recorded in 2008, became realizable for U.S. tax purposes in the foreseeable future as a result of our decision to exit the Canadian market. The tax benefit was the excess of the tax basis of our investment in the subsidiary over the financial statement carrying amount (the deductible outside basis difference). Excluding the tax benefit, the effective tax rate was 52.3% and 43.5% % for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, compared to 38.8% and 39.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The effective rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was impacted by losses incurred in foreign jurisdictions at a lower tax rate.
