Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	NOTE L – INCOME TAXES The Company’s effective tax rate was 52% and 29% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively; and 39% and 33% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The higher effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% was primarily due to the Company providing a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, attributable to operating losses in certain foreign jurisdictions coupled with a decrease in earnings in jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the U.S. federal statutory rate, where such earnings are permanently reinvested. The higher effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared with the same period for 2013 was primarily due to the Company’s decision not to recognize the tax benefit attributable to operating losses in certain foreign jurisdictions coupled with a decrease in earnings in jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the U.S. federal statutory rate, where such earnings are permanently reinvested. The Company provides valuation allowances against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company recorded a $.7 million valuation allowance as a discrete item against deferred tax assets existing as of December 31, 2013 for one of its foreign operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $.6 million with no significant changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company does not anticipate any material changes to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.
