SEGMENT INFORMATION [Abstract]  
Information as to the Operations of the Company's Reportable Business Segments
The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that are managed separately.  The Company evaluates segment performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is business segment adjusted operating cash flow ("AOCF") (defined as operating income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization (including impairments), share-based compensation expense or benefit and restructuring expense or credits), a non-GAAP measure.  The Company has presented the components that reconcile AOCF to operating income (loss), an accepted GAAP measure.
