Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	(6) Income Taxes The Company recorded tax expense in continuing operations of $2,205 and $1,518 in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2012 is due primarily to the geographic mix of income. The Company expects to maintain a full valuation allowance against its net domestic, and certain foreign, deferred tax assets, subject to the consideration of all prudent and feasible tax planning strategies, until such time as the Company attains an appropriate level of future profitability and the Company is able to conclude that it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets are realizable. In 2009, a subsidiary of the Company was examined by a European tax authority, who challenged the business purpose of the deductibility of certain intercompany transactions from 2003, and issued two formal assessments against the subsidiary. In 2010, the Company filed an appeal to litigate the matter. The first court date related to this matter was held in 2011, after which the court issued its ruling in favor of the Company. However, this ruling has been appealed by the tax authorities and only applies to the smaller of the two assessments made by the authorities related to this matter. The first court date for the larger of the two assessments is scheduled for September 2012. The Company still believes this dispute to be in the early stages of the judicial process since any ruling reached by any of the courts may be appealed, and as such the final date of resolution and outcome of this matter are uncertain at this time. However, within the next twelve months it is possible that factors such as new developments, judgments or settlements may require the Company to increase its reserve for unrecognized tax benefits by up to $8,000 or decrease its reserve by $5,500, including interest and penalties. If the court rules against the Company in subsequent court proceedings, a payment of between $6,000 and $9,000 including interest and penalties will be due immediately while the case is appealed. The Company has analyzed these issues in accordance with guidance on uncertain tax positions and believes at this time that its reserves are adequate, and intends to vigorously defend itself. During the first quarter of 2012, the tax authorities completed a general examination of the subsidiary's 2008 tax return, and issued a small assessment against the subsidiary. The assessment, which had already been provided for in the Company's reserves, was settled in April 2012. In the next twelve months, other than as noted above, the Company may increase its reserve for unrecognized tax benefits for intercompany transactions and acquired tax attributes by $450. This would affect the effective tax rate. Tax years 2007 and forward in the U.S. are open to examination by the IRS. The Company is also subject to examinations in its non-U.S. jurisdictions for 2006 and later years. The Company is also subject to audits in various states for various years in which it has filed income tax returns. Previous state audits have resulted in immaterial adjustments.

(6) Income Taxes

The Company recorded tax expense in continuing operations of $2,205 and $1,518 in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2012 is due primarily to the geographic mix of income.

The Company expects to maintain a full valuation allowance against its net domestic, and certain foreign, deferred tax assets, subject to the consideration of all prudent and feasible tax planning strategies, until such time as the Company attains an appropriate level of future profitability and the Company is able to conclude that it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets are realizable.

In 2009, a subsidiary of the Company was examined by a European tax authority, who challenged the business purpose of the deductibility of certain intercompany transactions from 2003, and issued two formal assessments against the subsidiary. In 2010, the Company filed an appeal to litigate the matter. The first court date related to this matter was held in 2011, after which the court issued its ruling in favor of the Company. However, this ruling has been appealed by the tax authorities and only applies to the smaller of the two assessments made by the authorities related to this matter.
