Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative Financial Instruments
As part of our currency exchange rate risk management strategy, we enter into certain derivative foreign currency forward contracts that do not meet the GAAP criteria for hedge accounting, but which have the impact of partially offsetting certain foreign currency exposures. We account for these forward contracts on a full mark-to-market basis and report the related gains or losses in currency exchange losses (gains) in the consolidated statement of income. At December 31, 2013, the notional amount of open forward contracts was $54.4 million and the unrealized gain on these contracts was $1.3 million. All open forward contracts will mature during the first quarter of 2014.
