INCOME TAXES	Sep. 30, 2013
Notes to Financial Statements [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES Uncertainties in Income Taxes The Company recognizes in the consolidated financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. It is reasonably possible that certain amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within twelve months of the reporting date of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Expiration of statutes of limitation in various jurisdictions during the next twelve months could include unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $1.6 million. Other Tax Matters The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months of 2013 was favorably impacted by the Company’s recording of tax benefits of $9.4 million related to U.S. federal legislative changes enacted in January 2013, relating to 2012, and $9.3 million of benefits related to prior year tax matters.

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.
