Discontinued Operations [Abstract]
Discontinued Operations	Note 14.             Discontinued Operations In 2009, we sold 100% of our interest in Selective HR, which had historically comprised the human resource administration outsourcing segment of our operations.  We sold our interest for proceeds scheduled to be received over a 10-year period based on the ability of the purchaser to retain and generate new worksite lives though our independent agency distribution channel.  Although the proceeds are contingent upon the future operations of the former Selective HR business, we have no continued involvement relevant to the proceeds.  We recorded an after-tax charge of $1.3 million and $2.1 million in Second Quarter 2010 and Six Months 2010, respectively, primarily due to our revaluation of the contingent proceeds, including assumptions regarding worksite life generation and retention.  No such charges have been recorded in 2011.  As of June 30, 2011, our estimated sales price was approximately $6.9 million, of which $2.4 million has been received to date.
