Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES Our income tax provisions for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, reflected effective tax rates of 19.2% and 34.7%, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a favorable change in the forecasted country mix of earnings. Our income tax provisions for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, reflected effective tax rates of 25.0% and 33.3%, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a favorable change in the forecasted country mix of earnings and an increase in earnings from foreign operations indefinitely reinvested outside the United States, partially offset by a settlement of an IRS audit. As of January 1, 2015, we changed our position on earnings from foreign operations as indefinitely reinvested due to increased cash demands outside the United States. Our effective tax rate can fluctuate depending on our country mix of earnings, since our foreign earnings are generally subject to lower tax rates than in the United States. In certain jurisdictions, primarily Singapore and Malaysia, our tax rate is significantly less than the relevant statutory rate due to tax holidays.
