Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES As of September 30, 2017, gross unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions totaled $4.8 million, in addition to related interest and penalties of $1.0 million. Of the gross unrecognized benefits, $1.5 million are recorded net with the tax attributes that would be offset. The remainder are recorded in other noncurrent liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Of this total amount, $4.2 million, which includes interest and penalties, would affect the effective tax rate if subsequently recognized. As of December 31, 2016, gross unrecognized tax benefits totaled $5.8 million in addition to interest and penalties of $1.0 million, in other noncurrent liabilities and noncurrent deferred tax liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We expect certain income tax audits will be settled, positions will be resolved through administrative procedures or statutes of limitations will expire for various tax authorities during the next twelve months, resulting in a potential $1.2 million reduction of the unrecognized tax benefit amount. We classify interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions within income tax expense. Our effective tax rate changed from a 29.4% expense for the third quarter of 2016 to a 9.5% benefit for the third quarter of 2017. The change in our effective income tax rate was driven by the goodwill impairment recognized, which is non-deductible for tax purposes, and the discrete tax impact of the trademark impairments recognized in the third quarter of 2017. Our effective tax rate changed from 29.0% for the first nine months of 2016 to (19.9)% for the first nine months of 2017. The decrease in our effective income tax rate was driven by the goodwill impairment recognized, which is non-deductible for tax purposes, and the discrete tax impact of the trademark impairments recognized in the third quarter of 2017.
