INCOME TAXES [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	NOTE 3: INCOME TAXES For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company’s effective tax rate was 183.7% and 124.8%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company’s effective income tax rate was (429.5)% and (18.4)%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s effective tax rate was determined based on the estimated annual effective tax rate. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were higher than what would have been expected if the federal statutory rate were applied to income before taxes. Items increasing the effective income tax rate included the change in the valuation allowances associated with certain deferred tax assets and the unfavorable rate differences from foreign jurisdictions. In addition, in the second quarter 2014, it was determined a deemed intercompany dividend had occurred in 2012 and 2013 related to an intercompany working capital loan that originated in 2012; the Company recorded the expense, which is not material to the financial statements for the year. We have not initiated any further intercompany transactions like the 2012 transaction, nor do we anticipate the need for further transactions of this type. The examination of our 2005-2009 tax years by the IRS for U.S. federal tax purposes was settled during the second quarter of 2013. The settlement of the audit resulted in a $1.0 million tax benefit during the three months ended June 30, 2013. Excluding the release of uncertain income tax positions in connection with the settlement of the IRS audit, the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 would have been 263.2% and 66.7%. These rates are higher than what would have been expected if the federal statutory income tax rate were applied to income before taxes primarily from the unfavorable differences from foreign operations.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company’s effective tax rate was 183.7% and 124.8%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company’s effective income tax rate was (429.5)% and (18.4)%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s effective tax rate was determined based on the estimated annual effective tax rate.

The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were higher than what would have been expected if the federal statutory rate were applied to income before taxes. Items increasing the effective income tax rate included the change in the valuation allowances associated with certain deferred tax assets and the unfavorable rate differences from foreign jurisdictions.

We have not initiated any further intercompany transactions like the 2012 transaction, nor do we anticipate the need for further transactions of this type.

The examination of our 2005-2009 tax years by the IRS for U.S. federal tax purposes was settled during the second quarter of 2013.
