Discontinued Operations [Abstract]  
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
(D) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
     In 2009, we ceased SCS service operations in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and European markets. Accordingly, results of these operations, financial position and cash flows are separately reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented either in the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements or notes thereto.
     Summarized results of discontinued operations were as follows:
                                 
    Three months ended June 30,     Six months ended June 30,  
    2011     2010     2011     2010  
    (In thousands)  
 
Pre-tax loss from discontinued operations
  $ (969 )     (832 )   $ (1,716 )     (1,337 )
Income tax benefit
    88       73       103       79  
 
                       
Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax
  $ (881 )     (759 )   $ (1,613 )     (1,258 )
 
                       
     Results of discontinued operations in 2011 and 2010 included losses related to adverse legal developments, professional fees and administrative fees associated with our discontinued South American operations.
     We are subject to various claims, tax assessments and administrative proceedings associated with our discontinued operations. We have established loss provisions for matters in which losses are deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. However, at this time, it is not possible for us to determine fully the ultimate effect of all unasserted claims and assessments on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Additional adjustments and expenses may be recorded through discontinued operations in future periods as further relevant information becomes available. Although it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters, we do not expect that any resulting liability will have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
     The following is a summary of assets and liabilities of discontinued operations:
