| Premiums                                                                 | Premiums:  Insurance premiums on property and casualty insurance contracts are recognized in proportion to the underlying risk insured which principally are earned ratably over the duration of the policies.  Premiums on long term care contracts are earned ratably over the policy year in which they are due.  The reserve for unearned premiums represents the portion of premiums written relating to the unexpired terms of coverage.Insurance receivables include balances due currently or in the future, including amounts due from insureds related to losses under high deductible policies, and are presented at unpaid balances, net of an allowance for uncollectible receivables.  Amounts are considered past due based on policy payment terms.  That allowance is determined based on periodic evaluations of aged receivables, management's experience and current economic conditions.  Insurance receivables and any related allowance are written off after collection efforts are exhausted or a negotiated settlement is reached.Property and casualty contracts that are retrospectively rated contain provisions that result in an adjustment to the initial policy premium depending on the contract provisions and loss experience of the insured during the experience period.  For such contracts, the Company estimates the amount of ultimate premiums that the Company may earn upon completion of the experience period and recognizes either an asset or a liability for the difference between the initial policy premium and the estimated ultimate premium.  The Company adjusts such estimated ultimate premium amounts during the course of the experience period based on actual results to date.  The resulting adjustment is recorded as either a reduction of or an increase to the earned premiums for the period.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |   |
| Claim and claim adjustment expense reserves                              | Claim and claim adjustment expense reserves: Claim and claim adjustment expense reserves, except reserves for structured settlements not associated with asbestos and environmental pollution (A&EP), workers' compensation lifetime claims and accident and health claims, are not discounted and are based on 1) case basis estimates for losses reported on direct business, adjusted in the aggregate for ultimate loss expectations; 2) estimates of incurred but not reported (IBNR) losses; 3) estimates of losses on assumed reinsurance; 4) estimates of future expenses to be incurred in the settlement of claims; 5) estimates of salvage and subrogation recoveries and 6) estimates of amounts due from insureds related to losses under high deductible policies.  Management considers current conditions and trends as well as past Company and industry experience in establishing these estimates.  The effects of inflation, which can be significant, are implicitly considered in the reserving process and are part of the recorded reserve balance.  Ceded claim and claim adjustment expense reserves are reported as a component of Reinsurance receivables on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Claim and claim adjustment expense reserves are presented net of anticipated amounts due from insureds related to losses under deductible policies of $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.  A significant portion of these amounts are supported by collateral.  The Company has an allowance for uncollectible deductible amounts, which is presented as a component of the allowance for doubtful accounts included in Insurance receivables onthe Consolidated Balance Sheets.Structured settlements have been negotiated for certain property and casualty insurance claims.  Structured settlements are agreements to provide fixed periodic payments to claimants.  The Company's obligations for structured settlements not funded by annuities are included in claim and claim adjustment expense reserves and carried at present values determined using interest rates ranging from 5.5% to 8.0% at December 31, 2014 and 7.1% to 9.7% at December 31, 2013.  At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the discounted reserves for unfunded structured settlements were $582 million and $580 million, net of discount of $924 million and $969 million.Workers' compensation lifetime claim reserves are calculated using mortality assumptions determined through statutory regulation and economic factors.  Accident and health claim reserves are calculated using mortality and morbidity assumptions based on Company and industry experience.  Workers' compensation lifetime claim reserves and accident and health claim reserves are discounted at interest rates ranging from 3.5% to 6.8% at December 31, 2014 and 3.0% to 6.8% at December 31, 2013.  At December 31, 2014 and 2013, such discounted reserves totaled $2.5 billion and $2.4 billion, net of discount of $654 million and $617 million.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |   |
| Future policy benefits reserves                                          | Future policy benefits reserves: Reserves for long term care policies and payout annuity contracts are computed using the net level premium method, which incorporates actuarial assumptions as to morbidity, persistency, discount rate and expenses.  Expense assumptions primarily relate to claim adjudication.  Actuarial assumptions generally vary by plan, age at issue and policy duration.  The initial assumptions are determined at issuance, include a margin for adverse deviation and are locked in throughout the life of the contract unless a premium deficiency develops.  If a premium deficiency emerges, the assumptions are unlocked and deferred acquisition costs, if any, and the future policy benefit reserves are adjusted.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the liability balances were $131 million and $143 million.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |   |
| Reinsurance                                                              | Reinsurance:  Reinsurance accounting allows for contractual cash flows to be reflected as premiums and losses.  To qualify for reinsurance accounting, reinsurance agreements must include risk transfer.  To meet risk transfer requirements, a reinsurance contract must include both insurance risk, consisting of underwriting and timing risk, and a reasonable possibility of a significant loss for the assuming entity.Reinsurance receivables related to paid losses are presented at unpaid balances.  Reinsurance receivables related to unpaid losses are estimated in a manner consistent with claim and claim adjustment expense reserves or future policy benefits reserves.  Reinsurance receivables are reported net of an allowance for uncollectible amounts on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The cost of reinsurance is primarily accounted for over the life of the underlying reinsured policies using assumptions consistent with those used to account for the underlying policies or over the reinsurance contract period.  The ceding of insurance does not discharge the primary liability of the Company.The Company has established an allowance for uncollectible reinsurance receivables which relates to both amounts already billed on ceded paid losses as well as ceded reserves that will be billed when losses are paid in the future.  The allowance for uncollectible reinsurance receivables is estimated on the basis of periodic evaluations of balances due from reinsurers, reinsurer solvency, management's experience and current economic conditions.  Reinsurer financial strength ratings are updated and reviewed on an annual basis or sooner if the Company becomes aware of significant changes related to a reinsurer.  Because billed receivables generally approximate 5% or less of total reinsurance receivables, the age of the reinsurance receivables related to paid losses is not a significant input into the allowance analysis.  Changes in the allowance for uncollectible reinsurance receivables are presented as a component of Insurance claims and policyholders' benefits on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.Amounts are considered past due based on the reinsurance contract terms.  Reinsurance receivables related to paid losses and any related allowance are written off after collection efforts have been exhausted or a negotiated settlement is reached with the reinsurer.  Reinsurance receivables related to paid losses from insolvent insurers are written off when the settlement due from the estate can be reasonably estimated.  At the time reinsurance receivables related to paid losses are written off, any required adjustment to reinsurance receivables related to unpaid losses is recorded as a component of Insurance claims and policyholders' benefits on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.Reinsurance contracts that do not effectively transfer the economic risk of loss on the underlying policies are recorded using the deposit method of accounting, which requires that premium paid or received by the ceding company or assuming company be accounted for as a deposit asset or liability.  The Company had $3 million recorded as deposit assets at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and $9 million and $130 million recorded as deposit liabilities at December 31, 2014 and 2013.  Income on reinsurance contracts accounted for under the deposit method is recognized using an effective yield based on the anticipated timing of payments and the remaining life of the contract.  When the anticipated timing of payments changes, the effective yield is recalculated to reflect actual payments to date and the estimated timing of future payments.  The deposit asset or liability is adjusted to the amount that would have existed had the new effective yield been applied since the inception of the contract.A loss portfolio transfer is a retroactive reinsurance contract.  If the cumulative claim and allocated claim adjustment expenses ceded under a loss portfolio transfer exceed the consideration paid, the resulting gain from such excess is deferred and amortized into earnings in future periods in proportion to actual recoveries under the loss portfolio transfer.  In the period in which an excess arises, a portion of the deferred gain is cumulatively recognized in earnings as if the revised estimate was available at the inception date of the loss portfolio transfer.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |   |
| Deferred acquisition costs                                               | Deferred acquisition costs: Acquisition costs include commissions, premium taxes and certain underwriting and policy issuance costs which are incremental direct costs of successful contract acquisitions.  Deferred acquisition costs related to long term care contracts issued prior to January 1, 2004 include costs which vary with and are primarily related to the acquisition of business.Acquisition costs related to property and casualty business are deferred and amortized ratably over the period the related premiums are earned.Deferred acquisition costs related to long term care contracts are amortized over the premium-paying period of the related policies using assumptions consistent with those used for computing future policy benefit reserves for such contracts.  Assumptions are made at the date of policy issuance or acquisition and are consistently applied during the lives of the contracts.  Deviations from estimated experience are included in results of operations when they occur.  For these contracts, the amortization period is typically the estimated life of the policy.  At December 31, 2014 and 2013, Deferred acquisition costs were presented net of Shadow Adjustments, as defined later in this note, of $314 million and $342 million.The Company evaluates deferred acquisition costs for recoverability.  Anticipated investment income is considered in the determination of the recoverability of deferred acquisition costs.  Adjustments, if necessary, are recorded in current period results of operations.Deferred acquisition costs are presented net of ceding commissions and other ceded acquisition costs.  Unamortized deferred acquisition costs relating to contracts that have been substantially changed by a modification in benefits, features, rights or coverages that were not anticipated in the original contract are not deferred and are included as a charge to operations in the period during which the contract modification occurred.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |   |
| Investments in life settlement contracts and related revenue recognition | Investments in life settlement contracts and related revenue recognition:  Prior to 2002, the Company purchased investments in life settlement contracts.  A life settlement contract is a contract between the owner of a life insurance policy (the policy owner) and a third-party investor (investor).  Under a life settlement contract, the Company obtains the ownership and beneficiary rights of an underlying life insurance policy.The Company accounts for its investments in life settlement contracts using the fair value method.  Under the fair value method, each life settlement contract is carried at its fair value at the end of each reporting period.  The change in fair value, life insurance proceeds received and periodic maintenance costs, such as premiums, necessary to keep the underlying policy in force, are recorded in Other revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.The fair value of the Company's investments in life settlement contracts were $82 million and $88 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and are included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The cash receipts and payments related to life settlement contracts are included in Cash flows from operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.The following table details the values for life settlement contracts.  The determination of fair value is discussed in Note D to the Consolidated Financial Statements.December 31, 2014Number of Life Settlement Contracts Fair Value of Life Settlement  Contracts(In millions) Face Amount of Life Insurance Policies(In millions)Estimated maturity during:     201560 $11 $37201660 10 33201750 9 30201850 7 26201950 6 26Thereafter318 39 187Total588 $82 $339The Company uses an actuarial model to estimate the aggregate face amount of life insurance that is expected to mature in each future year and the corresponding fair value.  This model projects the likelihood of the insured's death for each inforce policy based upon the Company's estimated mortality rates, which may vary due to the relatively small size of the portfolio of life settlement contracts.  The number of life settlement contracts presented in the table above is based upon the average face amount of inforce policies estimated to mature in each future year.The increase (decrease) in fair value recognized for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 on contracts still held at each respective period-end was $8 million, $(2) million and $11 million.  The gains recognized during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 on contracts that settled were $25 million, $15 million and $42 million.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |   |

                                                                                                                                     | Separate Account Business: Separate account assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2013 represented contract holder funds related to investment and annuity products for which the policyholder assumes substantially all the risk and reward.  The assets were segregated into accounts with specific underlying investment objectives and are legally segregated from the Company.  All assets of the separate account business were carried at fair value with an equal amount recorded for separate account liabilities. |
| Investments                                                              | InvestmentsThe Company classifies its fixed maturity securities and its equity securities as either available-for-sale or trading, and as such, they are carried at fair value.  Changes in fair value of trading securities are reported within Net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.  Changes in fair value related to available-for-sale securities are reported as a component of Other comprehensive income.  The cost of fixed maturity securities classified as available-for-sale is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity, which are included in Net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.  Losses may be recognized within Net realized investment gains (losses) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations when a decline in value is determined by the Company to be other-than-temporary.To the extent that unrealized gains on fixed income securities supporting long term care products and payout annuity contracts would result in a premium deficiency if those gains were realized, a related decrease in Deferred acquisition costs and/or increase in Insurance reserves are recorded, net of tax, as a reduction of net unrealized gains through Other comprehensive income (Shadow Adjustments).  Shadow Adjustments, net of tax, increased $756 million and decreased $979 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.  At December 31, 2014 and 2013, net unrealized gains on investments included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) were correspondingly reduced by $1,288 million and $532 million.For asset-backed securities included in fixed maturity securities, the Company recognizes income using an effective yield based on anticipated prepayments and the estimated economic life of the securities.  When estimates of prepayments change, the effective yield is recalculated to reflect actual payments to date and anticipated future payments.  The amortized cost of high credit quality fixed rate securities is adjusted to the amount that would have existed had the new effective yield been applied since the acquisition of the securities.  Such adjustments are reflected in Net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Interest income on lower rated and variable rate securities is determined using the prospective yield method.The Company's carrying value of investments in limited partnerships is its share of the net asset value of each partnership, as determined by the General Partner.  Certain partnerships for which results are not available on a timely basis are reported on a lag, primarily three months or less.  Changes in net asset values are accounted for under the equity method and recorded within Net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Mortgage loans are commercial in nature, are carried at unpaid principal balance, net of unamortized fees and any valuation allowance, and are recorded once funded.  Mortgage loans are considered to be impaired loans when it is probable that contractual principal and interest payments will not be collected.  A valuation allowance is established for impaired loans to the extent that the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate is less than the carrying value of the loan.  Interest income from mortgage loans is recognized on an accrual basis using the effective yield method.  Accrual of income is generally suspended for mortgage loans that are impaired and collection of principal and interest payments is unlikely.  Mortgage loans are considered past due when full principal or interest payments have not been received according to contractual terms.Other invested assets are carried at fair value and include overseas deposits and certain derivative securities. Overseas deposits are primarily short-term government securities, agency securities and corporate bonds held in trusts that are managed by Lloyd's.  These funds are required of Lloyd's syndicates to protect policyholders in overseas markets and may be denominated in local currency.  Short term investments are carried at fair value, with the exception of cash accounts earning interest, which are carried at cost and approximate fair value.  Changes in fair value are reported as a component of Other comprehensive income.Purchases and sales of all securities are recorded on the trade date, except for private placement debt securities, including bank loan participations, which are recorded once funded.  Realized investment gains and losses are determined on the basis of the cost or amortized cost of the specific securities sold. |   |
| Variable Interest Entities                                               | In the normal course of investing activities, the Company enters into relationships with variable interest entities (VIEs), primarily as a passive investor in certain limited partnerships and asset-backed securities issued by third-party VIEs. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, and therefore does not consolidate them. The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE based on a qualitative assessment of the entity’s purpose, the nature of its operations, its capital structure, its contractual terms and the Company’s relative exposure to the related risks of the VIE. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss with respect to these investments is limited to the investment carrying values included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and any unfunded commitments.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |   |
| Impairments, Other Than Temporary                                        | A security is impaired if the fair value of the security is less than its cost adjusted for accretion, amortization and previously recorded other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) losses, otherwise defined as an unrealized loss.  When a security is impaired, the impairment is evaluated to determine whether it is temporary or other-than-temporary.Significant judgment is required in the determination of whether an OTTI loss has occurred for a security.  The Company follows a consistent and systematic process for determining and recording an OTTI loss.  The Company has established a committee responsible for the OTTI process.  This committee, referred to as the Impairment Committee, is made up of three officers appointed by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.  The Impairment Committee is responsible for evaluating all securities in an unrealized loss position on at least a quarterly basis.The Impairment Committee’s assessment of whether an OTTI loss has occurred incorporates both quantitative and qualitative information.  Fixed maturity securities that the Company intends to sell, or it more likely than not will be required to sell before recovery of amortized cost, are considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired and the entire difference between the amortized cost basis and fair value of the security is recognized as an OTTI loss in earnings.  The remaining fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position are evaluated to determine if a credit loss exists.  The factors considered by the Impairment Committee include (a) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, (b) whether the debtor is current on interest and principal payments, (c) credit ratings of the securities and (d) general market conditions and industry or sector specific outlook.  The Company also considers results and analysis of cash flow modeling for asset-backed securities, and when appropriate, other fixed maturity securities.  The focus of the analysis for asset-backed securities is on assessing the sufficiency and quality of underlying collateral and timing of cash flows based on scenario tests.  If the present value of the modeled expected cash flows equals or exceeds the amortized cost of a security, no credit loss is judged to exist and the asset-backed security is deemed to be temporarily impaired.  If the present value of the expected cash flows is less than amortized cost, the security is judged to be other-than-temporarily impaired for credit reasons and that shortfall, referred to as the credit component, is recognized as an OTTI loss in earnings.  The difference between the adjusted amortized cost basis and fair value, referred to as the non-credit component, is recognized as OTTI in Other comprehensive income.  In subsequent reporting periods, a change in intent to sell or further credit impairment on a security whose fair value has not deteriorated will cause the non-credit component originally recorded as OTTI in Other comprehensive income to be recognized as an OTTI loss in earnings.The Company performs the discounted cash flow analysis using stressed scenarios to determine future expectations regarding recoverability.  Significant assumptions enter into these cash flow projections including delinquency rates, probable risk of default, loss severity upon a default, over collateralization and interest coverage triggers and credit support from lower level tranches.The Company applies the same impairment model as described above for the majority of non-redeemable preferred stock securities on the basis that these securities possess characteristics similar to debt securities and that the issuers maintain their ability to pay dividends.  For all other equity securities, in determining whether the security is other-than-temporarily impaired, the Impairment Committee considers a number of factors including, but not limited to: (a) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost, (b) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, (c) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in value and (d) general market conditions and industry or sector specific outlook.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |   |
| Income Taxes                                                             | Income TaxesThe Company and its eligible subsidiaries (CNA Tax Group) are included in the consolidated federal income tax return of Loews and its eligible subsidiaries.  The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method.  Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the financial statement and tax return bases of assets and liabilities, based on enacted tax rates and other provisions of the tax law.  The effect of a change in tax laws or rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period in which such change is enacted.  Future tax benefits are recognized to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not, and a valuation allowance is established for any portion of a deferred tax asset that management believes will not be realized.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |   |

Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) of $(25) million, $2 million and $12 million were included in determining net income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |   |
| Property and Equipment                                                   | Property and EquipmentProperty and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is based on the estimated useful lives of the various classes of property and equipment and is determined principally on the straight-line method.  Furniture and fixtures are depreciated over seven years.  Office equipment is depreciated over five years.  The estimated lives for data processing equipment and software range from three to five years.  Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the corresponding lease terms not to exceed the underlying asset life.

Goodwill in the International segment may change from period to period as a result of foreign currency translation.

Indefinite-lived other intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or when certain triggering events require such tests.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |   |
| Earnings (Loss) Per Share Data                                           | Earnings (Loss) Per Share DataEarnings (loss) per share is based on weighted average number of outstanding common shares.  Basic earnings (loss) per share excludes the impact of dilutive securities and is computed by dividing Net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, approximately 675 thousand, 552 thousand and 417 thousand potential shares attributable to exercises under stock-based employee compensation plans were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.  For those same periods, approximately 170 thousand, 111 thousand and 730 thousand potential shares attributable to exercises under stock-based employee compensation plans were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been antidilutive.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |   |
