Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The Company’s effective tax rate (including taxes on income from discontinued operations) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 33.7 percent and 34.7 percent, respectively, compared to 38.6 percent and 29.1 percent, respectively, for the same periods in 2010. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to the valuation allowance release that was recorded during the current quarter. The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to the decrease in unrecognized tax benefits recorded in the third quarter of 2010. Excluding this discrete item, the rate decreased by 3.6% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to the increased profits attributable to Canada, which has a lower corporate income tax rate as compared to the United States, the recording of an energy investment tax credit for a solar energy project placed in service, and the partial release of a valuation allowance that is associated with the Company's foreign tax credits. As of September 30, 2011, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits and related reserves were $68.2 million, which included $22.0 million of interest and $6.6 million of penalties. As of December 31, 2010, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits and related reserves were $65.9 million, which included $19.7 million of interest and $6.5 million of penalties. Due to expiring statute of limitation periods, the Company anticipates that total unrecognized tax benefits and related reserves, other than adjustments for additional accruals for interest and penalties and foreign currency translation, will decrease by approximately $5.9 million within the next twelve months. The $5.9 million (which includes interest and penalties of $2.5 million) is primarily related to a historical Canadian business combination and, if realized, will be recorded in earnings and therefore will impact the effective income tax rate.
