Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES At the end of each interim period, the Company makes its best estimate of the annual expected effective income tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary year-to-date earnings or loss. The income tax provision or benefit related to significant, unusual, or extraordinary items, if applicable, that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effects are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which they occur. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates, tax status, judgment on the realizability of a beginning-of-the-year deferred tax asset in future years or income tax contingencies is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs. The computation of the annual expected effective income tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected pre-tax income (or loss) for the year, projections of the proportion of income (and/or loss) earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision or benefit for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, additional information is obtained or our tax environment changes. To the extent that the expected annual effective income tax rate changes during a quarter, the effect of the change on prior quarters is included in income tax provision in the quarter in which the change occurs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded an income tax benefit for continuing operations of $59.8 million and $8.5 million, respectively, despite pre-tax income of $90.4 million and $158.0 million, respectively. The income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 is due principally to a reduction in tax reserves and related interest due to the expiration of statutes of limitations for federal income taxes for 2001 through 2009 of $88.2 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded an income tax provision for continuing operations of $36.1 million and $101.3 million, respectively, which represents effective income tax rates of 28% and 33%, respectively. The effective rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are lower than the statutory rate of 35% due primarily to the realization of certain beginning of the year deferred tax assets and foreign income taxed at lower rates, partially offset by state taxes. The Company recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision. Included in the income tax benefit for continuing operations and discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2014 is a $61.8 million and a $21.2 million benefit, respectively, net of related deferred taxes, from the decrease in interest on unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations described above. Included in the income tax benefit for continuing operations and discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is a $58.7 million and a $19.7 million benefit, respectively, net of related deferred taxes, from the decrease in interest on unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the expirations of statutes of limitations described above. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company has accrued $3.6 million and $133.0 million, respectively, for the payment of interest. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company has accrued $3.2 million and $5.1 million, respectively, for penalties. The Company is routinely under audit by federal, state, local and foreign authorities in the area of income tax. These audits include questioning the timing and the amount of income and deductions and the allocation of income and deductions among various tax jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service is currently auditing the Company’s federal tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2010 through 2012. Various other jurisdictions are open to examination for various tax years beginning with 2006. Income taxes payable include reserves considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year tax returns. Changes to reserves from period to period and differences between amounts paid, if any, upon resolution of audits and amounts previously provided may be material. Differences between the reserves for income tax contingencies and the amounts owed by the Company are recorded in the period they become known. The statutes of limitations for federal income taxes for the years 2001 through 2009 expired on July 1, 2014. As a result, previously unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, totaling $374.8 million were recognized in the third quarter of 2014. The income tax benefit to continuing operations and discontinued operations was $88.2 million and $175.7 million, respectively. The remaining amount of $110.9 million impacted various balance sheet accounts, primarily non-current deferred tax assets, which were reduced by $100.1 million. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, are $37.2 million and $408.8 million, respectively. If unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2014 are subsequently recognized, $32.4 million, net of related deferred tax assets and interest, would reduce income tax provision for continuing operations. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by $11.6 million within twelve months of the current reporting date, of which approximately $8.2 million would decrease income tax provision for continuing operations, primarily due to expirations of statutes of limitations.
