Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES Annually we file U.S. Federal, state and foreign income tax returns. All U.S. Federal and most state loss carryforwards remain subject to adjustment in the event of an income tax examination. The income tax benefit for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $0.5 million. The income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $1.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively. We maintain a full valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets, having concluded we are not more likely than not going to realize the benefit of our deferred tax assets. An income tax benefit results from intraperiod tax accounting that requires recording tax expense on income in discontinued operations offset by a tax benefit in continuing operations. That benefit is partially reduced by an increase in our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was 5.57% and 3.18%, respectively, which is primarily the result of valuation allowances against the net operating losses for the U.S. and results in us not recording net deferred tax assets in the U.S. Our goodwill is an indefinite-lived asset that is not amortized for financial reporting purposes. However, goodwill is tax deductible and therefore amortized for tax purposes, which results in increased deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. Since we maintain a full valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets, and indefinite lived assets are not used in such net calculation, we record income tax expense associated with the tax amortization of goodwill. During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the amount of income tax expense related to the tax amortization of goodwill was $0.1 million. During each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, there were no material changes to the liability for uncertain tax positions.

Annually we file U.S. Federal, state and foreign income tax returns. All U.S. Federal and most state loss carryforwards remain subject to adjustment in the event of an income tax examination.

The income tax benefit for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $0.5 million. The income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $1.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively.
