Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES The effective income tax rates for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2013 were 32.3% and 33.8% versus 38.4% and 35.6% in the prior year. The lower effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2013 is due to the one-time impact of favorable tax regulations as well as differences in the geographical mix of earnings. The higher effective income tax rate for the three months ended October 31, 2012 was primarily due to the true-up of the prior year's tax provision upon filing the 2011 tax returns. During the nine months ended October 31, 2013, the change in the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties was not significant. The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions. As a matter of course, various taxing authorities regularly audit the Company. The Company’s tax filings are currently being examined by a number of tax authorities in various jurisdictions. Ongoing audits where subsidiaries have a material presence include New York state (tax years 2008–2011), New York City (tax years 2009–2010), as well as an audit that is being conducted by the Internal Revenue Service (tax years 2006–2009). Tax years from 2006–present are open to examination in U.S. Federal and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. The Company believes that its tax positions comply with applicable tax laws and that it has adequately provided for these matters. However, the audits may result in proposed assessments where the ultimate resolution may result in the Company owing additional taxes. Management anticipates that it is reasonably possible that the total gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by approximately $20,000,000 in the next 12 months, a portion of which may affect the effective tax rate; however, management does not currently anticipate a significant effect on net earnings. Future developments may result in a change in this assessment.
