Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill

Goodwill totaled $741.7 million as of March 31, 2015, December 31, 2014, and March 31, 2014. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis at November 30 of each year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. No events or circumstances since the November 30, 2014 annual impairment test were noted that would indicate it was more likely than not a goodwill impairment exists.
