Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	10. Income Taxes In calculating the provision for income taxes, the Company uses an estimate of the annual effective tax rate based upon the facts and circumstances at each interim period. On a quarterly basis, the estimated annual effective tax rate is adjusted, as appropriate, based upon changes in facts and circumstances, if any, as compared to those forecasted at the beginning of the fiscal year and each interim period thereafter. The provision for income taxes reflects U.S. federal, state and local taxes at an estimated effective tax rate of 35.5% and 39.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease in the estimated effective tax rate was primarily related to a release of valuation allowances related to market adjustments on the Company’s marketable securities.

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.
