Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The Company recognized $19,558 of tax expense on pre-tax income of $73,182, resulting in an effective income tax rate of 26.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The effective income tax rate was 26.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The 2016 effective income tax rate was lower than the Company’s statutory rate primarily due to the utilization of U.S. tax credits and deductions, income earned in lower tax rate jurisdictions and utilization of loss carry-forwards for which valuation allowances had been previously provided. The 2015 effective income tax rate was lower than the Company’s statutory rate due to the utilization of U.S. tax credits, refund interest recognized as a reduction to tax expense and income earned in lower tax rate jurisdictions. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had $14,526 of unrecognized tax benefits. If recognized, approximately $8,369 would be reflected as a component of income tax expense. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2011. The Company is currently subject to various U.S. state and non-U.S. income tax audits. Unrecognized tax benefits are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted for changing facts and circumstances, including progress of tax audits and closing of statutes of limitations. Based on information currently available, management believes that additional audit activity could be completed and/or statutes of limitations may close relating to existing unrecognized tax benefits. It is reasonably possible there could be a reduction of $2,236 in previously unrecognized tax benefits by the end of the first quarter 2017.
