Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions In December 2013, we completed our acquisition of EQECAT for $20.5 million. EQECAT is included as a component of the D&A segment. The purchase price was preliminary allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using a variety of valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis which included significant unobservables. We recorded $2.6 million of customer lists with an estimated average life of 10 years, $0.7 million of tradenames with an estimated average life of 10 years and goodwill of $12.7 million. The allocation of purchase price is subject to change based on our final determination of fair value. The business combination did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In September 2013, we acquired an additional 10% interest in PIQ for NZD$3.3 million or $2.6 million, resulting in a 60% controlling interest. We previously held a noncontrolling interest in the entity and as a result of the purchase of the controlling interest, we recognized a gain of approximately $6.6 million, to reflect our existing ownership interest at fair value, which is included in gain/(loss) on investments and other, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. PIQ is included as a component of the D&A segment. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using a variety of valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis which included significant unobservables.
